What aspect of this makes it "highly scalable"?

It seems that the scalability limitation is the same as that of every graph - the efficiency of scaling a graph beyond a single node.

Not bashing what you are saying, just want to understand what makes it "highly scalable", as it isn't clear from the article.

Also, I was wondering: Are ALL permissions stored as an Object::relation pair? i.e. do you need to register permissions for all new entities relationships, or do you have some way of storing more dynamic permissions?
The grid actually produced something useful though.
This is awesome I will definitely be trying this out later! I have been wanting a service like this in my head for ages. I hate having to sign up for developer accounts for every single api I want to hit. There SHOULD be a general purpose one stop shop where I can pay by request for access to things like weather, stock prices, ephemeral storage...

Some advice - keep it simple! Simplicity and ease of use are big selling points to me. It's very easy to get lost in feature creep.

> He purchased shares of his own startup at 0.001 cents, way below market rate.

The proper term is "fair market value" and before a company is publicly traded, the FMV is set by the Board and whatever investors have evaluated it and determined it to be.

In this case, it looks like it was before any investors had put in their money so the Board was simply the founders. At that stage, the Board normally sets the strike price (what you get the shares for) the same as the fair market value (what they're "worth") and you pay taxes on the difference. Fractions of a cent are common at that stage.

The risk is that the fair market value will never go higher and is likely to be zero (aka failed).
I am honestly curious what were the downsides for you which have been now resolved.

The ODBC Driver interface for configuration is tied to the old dialog.

The interface for the drivers was designed around GetOpenFileName() as it was at the time.

One of the features of GetOpenFileName/GetSaveFileName is that the structure passed in can include two special options- a function pointer to a hook routine, as well as a custom dialog template which windows will insert.

The functions were improved in Windows 95 with the "Explorer style". Even old programs get this style at the very least, because windows will imply the flag.

unless a template or hook routine is specified. See if a hook routine or template is specified and the OFN_EXPLORER flag is not, then the hook routine or template was designed for the old-style dialog. Windows uses the old-style dialog in this instance so that the program can run and doesn't crash.

The ODBC Driver configuration uses a dialog template to add the "read Only" and "Exclusive" checkboxes. That is why it shows the old style dialog.

People might say, "They should update it"

Update what?

If GetOpenFileName()'s ability to fallback to the old-style dialog is removed, than you won't see this dialog. Instead, it will crash. Cool. great experience.

the driver interface? OK great. so now there is a new version of the ODBC Driver interface. Now all the ODBC Drivers need to be updated. Some of the drivers were written by companies that are either out of business or rather different. I have this sneaking suspicion that Paradox software isn't going to be writing a new ODBC Driver for the MS-DOS Database.

Just drop everything? OK Cool.... so now companies get forcibly upgraded to Windows 11 and literally cannot do business because they rely on them in some manner. "They should upgrade". I won't get into that except to say it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but companies in that position are far more likely to find ways to not upgrade the software that caused the problem so, you know, they can keep doing business. And not upgrading the OS is certainly cheaper than countless thousands of man-hours in upgrading their Business software.

And a big thing people don't understand about backwards compatibility is it's not just about old programs working. It's about new ones working to.

If Microsoft removed all "backwards compatibility", than practically nothing would actually work. Software would be constantly crashing, sending error reports, etc. Now, call me crazy, but somehow that doesn't seem like it's a great experience. And if upgrading to Windows X+1 suddenly caused programs to crash left & right, nobody is going to blame the programs.

So what? You can use your Roth IRA to invest in private companies, buy gold, houses, whatever too.
Thanks for the check, dang, it's part of what keeps this site on track.
Reading the suit, it is interesting that it is very much based around the fact that Quad9 already blocks resolution for "malicious" domains, and therefore already has a censorship process in place. Basically "you're already censoring, one more domain won't hurt."
I wonder if they'll finally make it possible for more than one instance of Settings to be open.
That's a good point and it's something I did overlook, despite complaining about it when they changed this. I would argue though that this is DRM just like Denuvo is for video games or widevine for a lot of streaming content and wouldn't really consider it the same thing as Apple restricting running arbitrary code in the traditional sense. If something like Gatekeeper made things unsigned by Apple impossible to run rather than simply being annoying (which I mean, is kind of the point of it) then I'd be more inclined to agree with the sentiment.

As an audio application developer who still supports users on OSX 10.6.8, I have to ask, what is this about "Windows was the last OS to move to the evergreen model"? Do the breaking changes in MacOS version updates somehow not count anymore?

If developers don't want to support multiple versions of an OS, there are plenty of domains where that isn't an issue. The desktop seems like a weird place to complain about this issue, though, since this is a challenge inherent in the fact that users have choices and freedoms.

Completely disagree with your attitude here.
Probably by a traditional IRA to Roth IRA conversion.
Strictly speaking, there are a variety of embeddings ("translations") of classical into constructive logic and while different in their minute details, they all share the feature that non-constructive theorems are embedded as negative statements. Conversely, a proof of a negative statement in constructive logic can use proof by contradiction, hence the full power of a "classical" proof. (NOT NOT NOT p) <-> (NOT p) is a theorem in constructive logic, even though (NOT NOT p) -> p isn't.

The Roth IRA is not suppose to be a tax shelter for people to get super rich off their own creations. You are not getting a reduced priced Bitcoins or Gamestop stock. You are gambling with your own funds based on information that everyone else has and paying the same price as anyone else. If you get Bitcoins and/or Gamestock at a reduced price, then you are abusing the Roth IRA and the IRS should stop and fine you.

IANAL but this topic is of interest.

Without commenting on whether this was legal at the time Thiel made this transaction, it appears it would not be permissible under current tax law. (Update: the relevant text in the statute appears to have been in effect as early as 1995: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?hl=false&edition=1994&re...)
Specifically, the law explicitly disqualifies anyone who is:

>an officer, director (or an individual having powers or responsibilities similar to those of officers or directors), a 10 percent or more shareholder, or a highly compensated employee (earning 10 percent or more of the yearly wages of an employer) of a person described in subparagraph (C), (D), (E), or (G)

(Source: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/4975)

So the relatively plain language would almost certainly include anyone who's a co-founder involved in actively managing a company today.

This kind of blatant tax avoidance is going to end badly for our tax regime, which is likely to overcorrect.
This is a very strange conclusion. I love my remote office for 'deep work' but most of the connections (breadth?) I make on some topics are with chance discussions with peers, colleagues, managers, directors. The recent slice of forced remote has let me go deeper on some topics but also miss ways in which my work may have been easier or more impactful. I'm thinking of 'hey I think we might need something similar to what you're doing', 'hey I think we did that in the past and it went so wrong, look up such and such', or even 'this subject is politically doomed, tread carefully'. Those kinds of conversations are almost impossible to 'chance upon' over chatrooms...

Maybe our culture is bad, too oral, and maybe some people in other corps manage it fine and I'm missing something...
Almost but not quite. A needs to prove to B that it's allowed to talk to B. So there's a signing service in an Enclave that A can access. It passes a message in, the enclave signs the message, and A sends the message to B.

The secret never leaves the enclave.

The goal here is that if an attacker can execute code within A's operating system that they can not exfiltrate the password. They might be able to get the enclave to sign on their behalf, but that's significantly better than an exposed secret - simply removing the attacker from the box would be sufficient to remediate, vs having to rotate the secret.

To mitigate impersonation, I suppose one could do a number of things involving a second key, but I think that this simple version demonstrates the value of having a signing oracle. This is actually not an atypical approach, just not using sgx - I know companies that keep their signing keys in separate processes, which are mutually seccomp'd such that they can only pipe messages to each other for signing purposes of apps before publishing. But in the sgx case you have a much stronger guarantee than just seccomp.

So to me the only problem that attestation solves here is if the attacker is somehow in the SGX enclave, but actually the much more likely scenario is that they aren't, and that they just ask the oracle to sign on their behalf - because B can't verify that A is the one asking to sign. Given that there is a single entity deploying both the software in the enclave and the service that interacts with it at least, that seems to be the case to me - like, in this scenario A, B, and the software in the enclave are all deployed by me, barring malicious action to interfere with that - but again, the most likely scenario is the attacker just owned the box and has a regular user on there.

But... also also, A can prevent impersonation via tricking the oracle by having another keypair shared between it and the enclave, and then it becomes a matter of protecting that memory from an attacker who can almost certainly scrape your memory - a hard thing to do.

So you end up with:

System 0, A: Key 0
System 0, Enclave: Key 1, Key 0
System 1, B: Key 1

Key 0 is used to 'auth' A to Enclave. Key 1 is used to auth A to B (via enclave oracle).

This is just my perspective on it.

I always say things like this and get downvotes without comment, but here goes. This is a place where decentralization has a role to play. Things like cryptocurrencies and content-centric networking, databases and search.

In my opinion it should be possible to create an app store that actually isn't owned by any particular company but runs on a large network of peers and uses payments in cryptocurrency.
HN has had plenty of pro-Brexit comments too and your sentiments have their counterparts in "why is HN overrun with Brexiteers" complaints, etc. - this is standard. The truth is that the distribution here isn't so different from the population at large. If you control for education levels it likely tracks it closely.

(International distribution is the real wild card, but that's more hidden from view, since everyone here posts in English and the English of non-native speakers is mostly astonishingly good.)

I'm on the same boat. But furthermore, I'd like ads to be related to the content of the site I'm visiting. Say I'm on Quanta reading an article about black holes, how about show me an ad for a book on dark matter. Instead of an ad for a pair of shoes I searched a week ago. Contextual ads make so much more sense to me.
A trend I have noticed is new and upcoming companies lure in customers at a break-neck pace, just shoveling all their money in greedily, all the while providing abysmal or no customer support. Uber, airbnb, robinhood (screw them in particular) and now notion all are all guilty of this.
What makes you think CloudFlare (or Google/8.8) could not be hit with the same legal injunction? This is a court order and Quad9 must comply, as would CloudFlare or Google.

I think you're mistaking 'healthy messages' with 'the truth'. Political correctness often separates the two. "Men are more likely rapists than women are" is simply a statistical fact that you are going have to come to terms with. Also, if you haven't understood why differences between men and women can't be compared to differences between black and white people, then there is no point in continuing this, to be honest.
> And I pointed out that even the simplest example you could come up with can in fact be made faster (than implementing sequentially) or simpler (than implementing with threads, which require synchronization) with an async API.

No, you pointed out that a different example could be made faster (and almost certainly at the cost of simplicity, the mention of which you carefully avoided).

> So I don't see the straw man.

That doesn't surprise me.

Yes, it's very interesting.
> IRS records show that in 1999 Thiel purchased 1.7 million shares of his startup, which would soon become PayPal, for just $1,700 — a tenth of a penny per share

> Even though Thiel's startup received millions in funding within months, Pensco still told the IRS these founders' shares were worth less than $1,700 at the end of 1999.

Under certain circumstances, there is no statute of limitations. If Pensco did knowingly misrepresent the value of the shares, and if the funding round did imply a wildly different valuation, IRS could still pursue the case.

It's obviously a lot more complex than that.

For example, they are dropping 32-bit support. You can't release an update that does something like that.
It could make the root server hosted in one country do so, at which point hopefully the other roots would simply de-list that faulty root server (and start seeking to establish another root server elsewhere).

Clearly an accusation that violates the HN site guidelines. Mob bullying at its best, defending an academic endeavor of ethical advertising is not evidence of participation in said endeavor.

> you don’t have the consent of the public

I believe the US Supreme Court has already weighed in on the matter, as pertains to the privacy expectation of your garbage on the side of the street: there is no such expectation of privacy.

It naturally follows that being in public is de-facto consent to being exposed to the public sphere, which includes things such as public advertising.
I have a OnePlus 5. The final update that the manufacurer left the device on is shamefully bad. It was buggy, slower than previous versions, had an ancient security patch when it was released, and to make things worse OnePlus kept promising they would fix everything until the three year support period ended. Then they basically told everyone to go fuck themselves.

I'm now using Android Ice Cold Proyect rom (www.aicp-rom.com) and it's been great. The latest version of Android runs snappily and with the Google Camera installed even the camera is better than ever. I receive weekly patches and my phone works better than before. Kudos to all AICP and Lineage OS developers for making better software than the manufacturer itself.

And fuck you OnePlus for screwing over every OnePlus 5/5T owner with your garbage Android 10 build. Never buying a OnePlus phone again.
Relevant snippet from the Wiki article on the Microsoft antitrust lawsuit:

"The plaintiffs alleged that Microsoft had abused monopoly power on Intel-based personal computers in its handling of operating system and web browser integration. The issue central to the case was whether Microsoft was allowed to bundle its flagship Internet Explorer (IE) web browser software with its Windows operating system. Bundling them is alleged to have been responsible for Microsoft's victory in the browser wars as every Windows user had a copy of IE. It was further alleged that this restricted the market for competing web browsers (such as Netscape Navigator or Opera), since it typically took a while to download or purchase such software at a store. Underlying these disputes were questions over whether Microsoft had manipulated its application programming interfaces to favor IE over third-party web browsers, Microsoft's conduct in forming restrictive licensing agreements with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and Microsoft's intent in its course of conduct."

To draw parallels between that lawsuit and this discussion:

1. I guess the download effort of Slack isn't really a concern anymore. And while I have no idea of the feature parity between the free versions of Teams and Slack, the free versions of both apps should probably be sufficient for casual users (i.e. the inertia of entering payment information is not a concern).

2. I have no idea if Microsoft has added any secret sauce to Windows 11 that would make Teams run better on Windows owing to tighter in-house integration. But if this is true, and Slack (or other competitors) won't be able to use this to boost their own performances as much, I suspect this could be a big deal.

It is such a welcome thing. Big platforms like Netflix, Spotify don't owe any revenue share to Apple, Microsoft or others. They made their own brand and have been responsible for their own success.

These big OS/device companies in fact compete with them with unfair advantages like pre installed apps, prominent product placement on AppStore and closed/early integrations.
