Well, yes? Was that ever in question? The issue will always be the moral question of who decides what gets banned and what sort of oversight they are under.

I still think platforms should be held accountable for the content they let users post the same way traditional media platforms are. It would break YouTube and Facebook and other platforms that operate on automatic moderation, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

The way things are moving forward, the platforms still aren’t held accountable for anything. Not when they remove content either. Which means the moderators will mainly be the advertising industry and not what’s in public interest.

I think Donald Trump should have either been de-platformed long ago, or not at all but really. And you can really insert any public figure that gets de-platformed when the timing is right to do so and not when they break the rules. I don’t think that’s the real issue though, I don’t see why any democratic politician should ever engage on these anti-democratic platforms. I’m not an idiot of course, I know perfectly well why they do so, but it’s brought us to a world where it’s a select few tech-billionaires who get to decide what’s suited for their platforms and what isn’t, and that’s just wrong.

This is just yet another way to monetize people data. I saw that once and left the restaurant. There was no technical problem to solve here. Give paper with checkboxes it is much more convenient.
But is this really a problem? LinkedIn is "advertising for yourself", presumably to get a job. With the exception of my phone number, I'm ok with the world knowing this information about me. It's the equivalent of a phone book and I'm putting myself out there and advertising myself in the hopes of getting a job.
> The white boats and yachts that you see are typically glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy, and they seem to be holding up just fine.

They really don't hold up at all. FRP degrades rapidly when exposed to UV light, and boats not only are not subjected continuously to high loads but they are also not subjected to vandalism.

Let's put it this way: wheelie bins are FRP.
I'm in a situation where there was no wire at my front door so I'm limited in the type of doorbell cam. The one I settled on is Eufy who at least stores the information locally on the home base and doesn't charge for access. That said, I don't really know what's happening with my data, but from what I understand, it's not going to at third party (at least for the doorbell). This seemed like my best option.
Thank you for this. I don’t see how we make any significant changes to our trajectory without accepting a “lower” quality of life than what we have now. We need to localize, we need to rid ourselves of continuous consumption of useless junk, and we need to reconnect our resource use to the planet that sustains us.

None of that is accomplished by the virtue signaling you mention of replacing one luxury item with another different one.
You're not really getting what I'm saying. That's what the program allows them to do, while still charging an exorbitant rate to others.

Why are conservatives so keen on wanting to shag animals? Can anyone enlighten me? What’s the allure here, people? All I’m going to think of when I see a link to unherd.com is ‘Horse shagger’ in the future.

In any case - yes, they do. There’s many reported cases of cross animal/human parasites, viruses and diseases, which can then be passed onto other humans. The more contact you have in this way with various species, the higher your risk.

Thanks! This is good point. Yeah I kind of understand why they make the initial desicision back then -- much easier to implement.
The other side likes that too, I can assure you. Otherwise they would tackle it through legislation. They won't and it is not due to a lack of ability or that their mechanisms are shot down. They just need to blame it on the other club and some people that believe them. Et voilà...

My thoughts exactly. Given the nature of LinkedIn there is absolutely nothing I'd put there that I didn't want others to see.
It makes no difference to the box-checkers hiring them, so therefore,
Coursera and Udemy are two radically different platforms.

Udemy has a very standard pricing model. You pay what you use (=courses), so I don't see any way this can significantly change either way. The teachers are private and not institutions, so it would likely be unprofitable to adopt a "significantly-free" freemium model.

Coursera, Edx and so on apply instead the freemium model, which could be under theoretical threat (eg. reduce availability of free material, introduce ads, etc.). However, I've been using them for a while, and I didn't really experience any impact due to this supposed monetization orientation - the courses are still free, and there's no pressure to pay for them. I actually pay each course.

To be honest, I'm much more annoyed by the terrible, terrible UX of their products. There are also certainly some dark patterns, which I find dishonest, but at the end of the day, courses are free, and one can take them without interruption.

A personal note: I actually find negative the association between well-known institutions and learning platforms. For example, Harward and EdX- the certificates are stamped as HarvadX, which is an intentional disassociation. This is fair, however, customers/students tend to associate prestige with the MOOC, which is misleading. There's a lot of people around who think that MOOC certificate have formal value.
> That's the entire point of "racism", that it's not just visible characteristics.

The way I learned it is that racism is believing that races exists AND that there is a (one dimensional) hierarchy between these races. Europeans are better at lactose tolerance than Africans and Asians. That's a fact. In no way that makes them have more worth as humans being or put them "above" the others. Believing that would be racism.
The point was you would normally get higher efficiency and spend less money and have higher payload capacity with just a diesel van if your mostly doing highway driving.

I'm really glad to see this discussion on Hacker News. I'd like to point out that this is a two sided coin. I manage people and I am having a hard time with one direct report whose performance is not up to the mark. I've raised the problems gently but seems like the message isn't getting across. If anyone has any book suggestions on how to have some of these conversations and improve performance, I'd really appreciate it.
You might want to look at tailscale.com - I'm not 100% certain I understand exactly what you want - but it does allow any client to expose services; assuming non-server wireguard/tailscale-clients don't expose services/have firewall set up -I think it does what you need?

ZeroTier should also be an option.
that worked, thanks!
As far as the US goes, I wouldn't doubt that it's intertwined with our religious history. "Spare the rod, spoil the child". Still getting our child-rearing advice from bronze age shepherds.
I said “abysmal private internet speeds and capacity”. Note the word “private” (which you omitted). By all accounts, the speed and capacity available to US residents in their homes is far inferior (both in price and speed/capacity) to what is available in many nations in the world. Sorry, I don’t have a reference, it’s just what I hear people say every time the topic comes up.
It depends on what you want/need.

I have (not as a print server, but as firewalls/poorman's NAT's) used successfully old thin clients, typically they use a fraction of the power of any old desktop, exception made - maybe - for some early mini- or micro-itx machines.

In case this is an excellent resource:

https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/index.shtml

But a number of (now obsolete) home routers (the kind the ISP provides and never asks back for after a couple years), have a print server included (with a USB port), that could be even easier/lighter, of course with less features than an even small box running a Linux or similar.

-1: consider if you have complex vendor software on a GCE VM inside a larger GCP project... now a vulnerability in that vendor software means the whole GCP project is exposed. Vendor fixes are notoriously slow, so in practice you have to isolate vendor software to separate GCP projects.

Real example: I have a client with precisely this situation, and elsewhere in the GCP project is PII consumer data requiring public disclosure if exposed.

I think it can even be deemed benefocial as follows:

If they manage to increase offering, enrollment and completion by say 3x, a big chunk of those students may be coming from paid physical colleges, which means huge savings in education dollars overall.

I guess my point is, losing nonprofit edX to paid education is not a negative if on the whole it chips away at students paying full sticker price and lowers the overall avg cost of education.

Depending on the implementation of your job framework you can either:

- run jobs that aren’t supposed to run (removing an account for example, is that’s scheduled after a 2 week grace period) maybe an export or import job. Can be anything of course

- if your job runner allows scripts, or arbitrary class methods, you can do whatever you want

- you can remove jobs if you feel like it

- if you can escape redis because of whatever exploit, you now have access to the internal network

In general I use sidekiq, but resque and inspired implementations generally work on simply calling perform(), so any class with such a method can be called, depending on the typesystem.

The biggest two issues are the ability to perform any defined task, and the larger attack surface of an exposed redis server
Thanks! I don't understand the technical details but (combining multiple responds) I think I understand a bit now. I also remember that back when I was in the university we used sort of university intranet (every personal computer connected has to go through it to the Internet, but it's free anyway) and there was a lot of ARP attack then, and I learned to use arp -a and arp -v (maybe wrong).

What I will not do is make accounts, or fill in an online order form. And I will not give out any personal information, including my email, without very good reason.

Last year here in Germany the government started to require restaurants to take down the name, address, phone number of every customer, so they could contact trace if there was an outbreak. Fine by me, in these special circumstances. But one restaurant we visited actually had a waiter show up with a tablet showing some online form I was supposed to fill out. I told her "No thanks, please get me a piece of paper and I will write it down". The owner then came with pen and paper, and we had a nice and friendly chat. He explained that he wanted to make it easy and "cool" with tech. It also turned out that his "tech-wiz" nephew had coded up that online form for him last minute (very cliché :p). I explained to him that while understandable, it's actually harder for a lot of people to type on these things (including me to a degree) than use a pen and paper - the owner thought for a few moments and admitted that he too finds it easier to use a real pen "at his age" - and that storing this kind of information in digital form is just one mishap away from really angry (former) customers and GDPR penalties, and how managing this kind of data is actually harder to get right in digital form than collecting some pieces of paper and running them through the shredder some 4 weeks later. We visited the same place about a month later, and they had switched to pen and paper entirely. I like to think our talk helped them with that decision.

I cannot really fault that owner. He was trying to do the best in a suddenly changed and shitty situation, and in his line of business he didn't really have to deal with privacy issues and the associated dangers and regulations before, other than cashless payments where the payment processor does most of the heavy lifting and compliance anyway.

I want them to do this similar analysis on any shows of force, even not for particular anger filled situations.

For example, I have triplets, and sometimes the only way to accomplish what’s necessary at the local maximum of time and other infants benefit and parental benefit is to physically force a squirming baby into the diaper changing table. Is this along the same lines as spanking? Is there any mitigation of those behavior impacts by explaining why I’m physically forcing something?

As always with parenting, lots of questions and basically no answers.

Is IPFS really resistant to censorship? It seems like any state-based actor could easily block access to IPFS nodes if they were serving a specific CID.
Yes. Trivial example; you and i observe a pebble, and discuss its color, size, etc. All of our discussion and opinion is "data about the pebble" (as long as we choose to define it that way) but the pebble is still itself, uncaring and unaware of our data.

We create the "data" part ourselves, internally, interpretatively, endlessly. It is as infinite as our imagination, and easier to reach than reality.
If someone merely knowing your phone number is a security risk that really seems like a flaw that should be addressed with the phone system and not by treating the numbers like sensitive information.
What do you mean by limited use case?
I still think it's a device of rather dubious value, the most actual use of it I've seen is from being able to do it at the type-level (in one of Kiselyov's articles), because honestly, if you are allowed to name things at all, getting the function to refer to itself is pretty straightforward:

factorial' self n =
if n == 0
then 1
else n * self self (n - 1)

factorial n = factorial' factorial' n

That's it. Unless your evaluation strategy is literally implemented as term substitution/rewriting, it's about as efficient as having actual letrec primitive.

This technique is straightforwardly extended to the case of mutual recursion:

even' even odd n =
if n == 0
then True
else odd even odd (n - 1)

odd' even odd n =
if n == 0
then False
else even even odd (n - 1)

even n = even' even' odd' n
odd n = odd' even' odd' n
Seems like just the phone number and email.

Autoconf is one of those programs that solved real problems when it was created, in a way that was actually fairly reasonable at the time too. There's a reason it became so popular. But it's now 30 years later, and what was reasonable then is a liability now.

Sendmail is another great example of this phenomenon.

I would guess because they're significantly more work. There's a good chance the restaurant already had an online menu pre-pandemic; printing off a few QR codes that point to that URL is five minutes work vs. hiring a developer for who knows how long.
> Keeping the PG servers up to date is a pain, we simply don't have time for this

I've never used AWS RDS (or similar), but I had been thinking that part of the advantage of RDS was you didn't need to "keep the PG server up to date".

But apparently I was wrong! What does this look like on RDS?
The basic principle that you should be able to go out and participate in society without an Apple or Google smartphone should be heralded as common sense.

(Feel free to put up a URL and a QR code for the menu online in addition to paper menus though.)

Indeed. Even the stationary solutions to Schrodinger's equation, which correspond to unchanging states, involve constantly revolving real and complex parts that balance eachother out to keep the amplitude squared at a constant.

It isn't the opinion that makes them sound entitled.

The base opinion is: I haven't gone to such places since Covid began because the experience is less enjoyable and more stressful.

But it is said with contempt for the businesses and regulations, which the businesses cannot do much about. Even where it is open, they have to think about their employees and the risk they put them in. Not only that, but folks have been dining in tents and under wooden awnings - in booths even - enjoyably for decades. Where I am at, before covid hit they had heating and blankets outdoors so the restaurants could extend the outdoor seating season. The poster acts like it something horrible thrust upon them, when the fact is that they simply aren't a fan.

As my parent comment quite rightly said, humans (like other animals) definitely use food to signal status and other social cues.

Lab-grown meat will no-doubt eventually become a common ingredient once it is economically viable. However it'll likely start off in highly processed foods where consumers are not especially discerning or seeking to signal status through consumption. This would include products like ready-made frozen meals and fast food.

It may eventually enter fine dining, but it won't obtain market dominance in our life times. People just get too set in their ways as they age, for instance the elderly in Japan drive demand for Whale meat. Older people tend to have the disposable income required for fine dining.
