Your point doesn't really work, if it is "at the heart of any left wing moderate is a left wing fringe lunatic" because obviously you could just claim the same of the right, and suggest that every moderate right wing has fascism at its core. This sort of reductionism ends up with nothing useful.

Both right and left approach a similar looking set of ideologies at their extremes. I'm arguing that the left runs the risk of being overrun by something that moderate liberal lefties like me should be very concerned about.

I bought a subscription box business once because I was In the same business and figured I could cross-promote it and already had the experience to run another one.

In the end I shut it, because I realized that with a newborn in the house I didn’t actually have the time/energy to run another one. Also prev. owner had priced it such that it was impossible to source legit good quality products.

I did run it for a bit and just about got the investment back (it only cost $3k) before shutting it down.
I'm very sorry you had that experience and I respect your morales. I shy away from community style projects for similar reasons, and a lack of safe-harbour laws makes them extra risky.
Software should be more secure. However I don't think it's realistic to expect bug-free perfectly secure software. There is no field of engineering where 100% perfect tolerances are possible, and when you start getting past 99% the resource requirements to get to the next fraction of a % quickly go non-linear.

This is why 1) Security patches will pretty much always be necessary and 2) relying on perfect software alone is insufficient. Other precautions also need to be taken to prevent or mitigate attacks. In this case, it appears the My Book attack requires the IP address of the device. That indicates that people impacted may have been running these networked in a way that exposed them or the relevant ports to the world, which is very bad security.

Which is why I think if we are going to do IoT, it needs to all be behind some gateway designed by a company that will maintain security for decades.

Make a NAS drive which exposes everything to the gateway without bothering for authentication and then let Apple/Google/Amazon work out how to defend access to the resource.

Random OEMs are unable to pull off IoT safely.

I feel like saying something is "decentralized" is like saying something is "secure". Its a meaningless statement. Nothing is 100% secure and nothing is 100% decentralized. The relavent questions are from whom? Against what?
Show HN: We Built an NFT Marketplace for GitHub Code Commits
I know, I know. Yet another NFT Marketplace?

If digital artists can have their own NFT Marketplace to sell digital paintings NFTs, hackers deserve the same.

This is a fun side project we built. We don't make money from this. We just want to make sure there is a neat way to reward the open source contributors.

Though this is a sideproject, I'm keen on making this successful. It's currently launched on a testnet. I wanted to have comments from the HN network to see how we can make this better before we launch more generally.
This wasn't charity. It was genocide.

Deputy Minister of Indian Affairs in Canada in 1920:

"I want to get rid of the Indian problem. I do not think as a matter of fact, that the country ought to continuously protect a class of people who are able to stand alone... Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic and there is no Indian question, and no Indian Department."

"In 1920, amendments to the Indian Act make it mandatory for every Indian child between the ages of seven and six-teen years, to attend Indian residential school."

"In 1933, legal guardianship of the Indian children attending Indian residential school was assumed by the principals of those Indian residential schools, upon the forcible surrender of legal custody by parents."

Browser WASM implementations are also JIT based, and GC will eventually be part of the picture for WASM runtimes as well.
Go with "Grokking algorithms" and then with "Algorithms unlocked" to get some intuition. Then I recommend intro about alogirithms design from "Cracking the coding interview". Then i would read "Algorithm design manual". Then if you are interested add CLRS. After that MIT advanced courses and papers. Supplement with solving whole leetcode and you will be a beast.

That is why top JITs, do cache their findings between runs.

On Android and UWP's case, PGO data is even shared across devices.

And IBM has a JVM commercial feature where a dedicated JIT server gets used and serves the whole cluster nodes with heavily optimized native code.

Naturally JITs coded on long nights tend to lack such engineering.

I wrote something about it [1] just a few days ago. And I have been banging on about it for years if not a whole decade.

>What we need is something like iOS TimeCapsule. Let the Phone do the Photo Management on Devices, and have an on site ( Home ) DataBackup as well as offsite ( iCloud ) Data Backup. Apple could even make iCloud Backup subscription a requirement for TimeCapsule to function.

We need both. In a simple, safe, easy to use fashion.

> The bandwidth alone I imagine carries a pretty hefty price for an app like Netflix.

Apple doesn't pay for Netflix's server costs. They just host the app, there are ways to mitigate the cost of hosting the app as the other reply also mentions.

> Would you create an App Store, dedicate resources on moderation and app curation, as well as infrastructure, and then just give it away free?

Apple is not doing Netlfix any favour here, people signed up for Netflix way before iOS existed. Netflix was a brand in itself before iPhone was.

Also, let us not pretend that the success of iOS has nothing to do with the likes of Netflix, Spotify, YouTube etc. providing first class apps for the platform. Windows Phone died because of app situation despite having a fresh OS with compelling devices.

Apple has more than 40% net margins on iPhone. If they can bundle the cost of their Maps effort with iPhone, even App Store can be taken from that amount. 30% from a business just for gatekeeping is just disgusting and abuse of the duopoly situation we are in.
> Yeah, but I find that can be pretty disruptive to my flow.

Well, I think it's very much worth having git support integrated into your editing tool, so for me the workflow is more:

1. Shelve current changes, if any

2. (Optional) fetch origin

3. Switch branch

4. Make the fix

5. Commit-push

6. Merge this branch upstream

7. Switch branch back

8. Pull upstream master

9. Unshelve if necessary

I wouldn't consider it my responsibility to apply the fix to anyone else's branch - rather every branch has an owner and it's their responsibility to update from origin master at whatever frequency suits them - and if someone else has fixed the problem in parallel then either I notice at stage 4, or, if they did it in between me reaching 2 and me reaching 6 then 6 fails harmlessly (I just continue to 7 and 8 and I pick up their version of the fix, no need to resolve any conflict). This does rely on having a single shared "origin master" (whether that's your git hosting system, your release manager's machine, or something else) that can do step 6 atomically - if you really want a 100% decentralised system then yeah the price of that is eventual consistency.

All that said, git merge absolutely does treat a byte-for-byte identical change as not a conflict (I just confirmed with git merge-file), and will treat an identical-except-for-whitespace fix as not a conflict if you pass it the appropriate flags, so I think something else must be going on to cause the problem you're seeing.

Prohibitions tend to end badly.

I'd like to see a very high taxation on advertising, especially by class or scale.

The local sandwich shop, theatre company, or software consultancy is unlikely to cause much harm and likely to see major benefit by advertising.

The FIRE sectore, fossil fuels and petrochemicals, fizzy drinks, tobacco, alcohol, junk foods, pharmaceuticals, payday lenders and crisis-oriented financial services (granted a subset of FIRE), infomercials, and major-industry influence marketing (effectively political lobbying through advertising), all carry huge externalities and gain tremendous leverage through advertising which a steep taxation rate should ameliorate.
I have used Snapchat for almost a decade and never for sexting. Ephemerality and a lack of feeds make it a decent place for social media without social cooling. Direct messages and group messaging meanwhile can be saved indefinitely on a case by case basis (i.e. in the settings for the specific thread) and notifies the people you’re talking to of the change. It’s actually quite nice.

Lack of discoverability (which they are sort of adding, but mostly for bigger influencers and/or publications) is a positive. In my opinion they don’t suffer from the same issues as the other platforms. For example, there isn’t any sort of liking mechanism. If you like something, you message the person directly.

Maybe it’s a generational thing. That said, if I were to delete all my social media, I might keep Snapchat. It just isn’t the same. It’s more akin to Telegram but with a focus on photos.

EDIT: thread/conversation expiration can be increased to 24 hours, individual messages can be saved indefinitely, or screenshotted. Either notifies the user you’re contacting.
How to Be a More Likable Boss
Exactly. I would assume one reason for living alone is because he alienated a lot of people close to him. I think it's quite tragic.

The other reason is that he could be "broke", as in he has no cash. All of his wealth is in stock of Tesla, SpaceX,... and he cannot sell any of that without loosing control of the companies or pluging the stock price. I think that's also why he sold all his real estate some time ago.

Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. The author relates his story of working for minimum-wage. When minimum-wage was raised, his manager cut everyone's hours. He then concludes that this was the strategy of the corporation (malice), but I don't think that's necessarily the case. It's also possible that management just didn't say anything, and perhaps didn't have any strategy in place (incompetence), and until they did, local managers were forced to do the only thing they could do: cut hours.

Unless you're Lex Luthor, you can't extrapolate the inner workings of the universe from a candy wrapper.

Thanks for your feedback. Obviously I think it’s cool but I doubt that’ll be a good enough reason for most people.

NUM is a protocol for storage and retrieval of data, that’s all. Hopefully the demonstration shows it’s pretty good at that. If people choose to store huge amounts of data using it, I think that would be cool too.

I don’t think there’s any risk of it being used for crypto mining. NUM doesn’t open up any new attacks vectors that aren’t already present in DNS and it’s an incredibly resilient and robust system as we know.
Sentry is an error collection service, so that's probably nothing.

First Grocery Platform, where you could get the Groceries for free
Finally we launched the MVP (the working model) using just Whatsapp & Google Sheets.

Glist - is a grocery delivery platform where you could earn recurring discounts with the people you refer. You need to have an invitation from your friend to join and order. Whenever you give an invitation, and when that invited user buys through us, you get a referral commission for that sale. And you get that recurring, whenever that user buys.

We have launched previously with a voice only shopping app, but when giving to users, it seems little difficult for shopping. So we are changing the app to the normal grocery app model right now.

In between, we launched the MVP again, just using Whatsapp & Google sheets.

Thank you for reading our story.

Nothing has yet been proposed which is technically possible to comply with, to the best of our knowledge. There has been no mechanism proposed whereby we could be in compliance, nor has anyone proposed a way of meeting the very substantial cost of making it happen. Nor has anyone yet addressed issues of proportionality, which I gather are central to this part of German law. Nor, as a public-benefit foundation, is it even legal for us to convert resources from the public benefit to Sony's private benefit, and that hasn't yet been addressed. So it is, for many reasons, very premature to be talking about compliance with the injunction.

For now, there's the filing of objection in the Hamburg court, then the appeal to a superior court... There are many steps here, and the first have barely been taken.
How did that work unless there was port forwarding?

> Your argument is "Cryptocurrencies are dumb, i'll just put my money in stocks instead" which not only young people also put their money in, but are also just as risky and subject to high volatility as well?

Not sure if you're being serious here because it's widely acknowledged that they're nowhere near as risky or volatile as cryptocurrencies!?

> So they are also not used for a save fast way for money remittance? You're forgetting that lots of companies and countries are adopting cryptocurrencies

I'll grant you that XRP's cross border remittance use case is interesting (in fact XRP is the only crytocurrency I've held in the last 4 years) but it is such a small proportion of what is going on.

> And putting your money in stocks involved in SPACs isn't gambling?

No. It's investing. There's a difference.
There is no reason. It's even hard to justify non iot drives when you consider having to buy drives for backups and maintain those backups. The cloud options just come out really good value.

The https api is Cloudlfare DNS-over-HTTPS (it could be any other provider) - is just the best method to use in browsers, backend services can use standard DNS.

Storing this stuff in DNS is what enables:
- individual domain owners to adopt the standard
- us to offer data free, unrestricted and unlimited forever

Since DNS is massively scalable and cached it’s well suited to this IMO. Much more so than a standard API.
Theoretically, yes. You'd have to use a self-directed IRA, but it can be done.
But aren't you specificly using cloudflare's DoH endpoint to do the query? Wouldn't that mean that there aren't any caches other than cloudflare's? In which case, why not just put your website behind cloudflare?

It is a conspiracy theory, because there's no evidence beyond allegations of conspiracy that this is what happened.
