It seems right to you that investors in a company caught running a $1.4 billion scam should receive a billion dollars - while the whistleblower loses his career and gets nothing?

... Really?

Like, do you know how big a billion :is:?
Then why be wrong/unhelpful/provocative?
I guess where it often gets complex, even with RESTful APIs, is:

- Deletes, puts and patches are basically guaranteed to be writes

- Get is GENERALLY read only, but it often updates caches - and your cache may have similar concerns. Also, sometimes gets write to the DB, i.e. updating a “last seen/last activity” type field

- Posts are generally writes, but definitely not always. Any time you really need a body for a read (big request coming from a browser, or just too much structure in the args to encode in HTTP query params), that read will be a post

I like your approach of short-circuiting and immediately sending fly-replay, but instead of doing it by HTTP method, I’d probably do it by manually marking endpoints as write endpoints. And then I’d also have a catch-all similar to the blog post, based on DB errors, that both sends fly-replay and logs. And then keep track of that log, if it ever happens that’s a sign that you need to mark a new endpoint as a writer.
Ask HN: How do you deal with bus factor for solo projects?
Title says it all. I'm running a tiny small profitable business and I'm the only one working on it. None of my family is in tech right now. So if I got hit by a bus, the business will take a hit and will die soon.

How do you or will you handle this solo endeavour?

Hasn't spam traditionally been a huge issue on IRC? Perhaps it's a bit less now as IRC usage has fallen and/or better systems to stop it have been put in to place, but back in the day when I still used IRC I remember random bots/people spamming ASCII dicks or just offensive text like repeating "nigger" over and over again, and similar "hilarious" stuff.

Actually, the only time a server under my management was hacked (CEO installed some random WordPress plugin with RCE, sigh) was to run an IRC spambot to send out exactly this sort of abuse. Hurray for firewalls also blocking outgoing traffic by the way: as far as we could tell this was all just dropped and never impacted anyone.

Either way, this doesn't sound like a "Matrix problem".
I guess seems partially wrong to me. While I agree government should collect after aggrieved investors, I think whistleblowers should come first as they are the ones enabling fraud detection.

Something that helped when I was younger: the realization that almost nobody will be remembered long after their death. How many people can you name from 1,000 years ago? How many people can you name from last century? How many billionaires who passed away in the 90s could you name? Or in the 2000s? How many scientists could you list who passed away in the last decade?

Mark Zuckerberg won’t be mentioned much a few years after his death despite being one of the richest humans and accomplishing it in his early 20s. Sure we remember Steve Jobs, but almost nobody bothers to think about him other than for a moment here and there. We’re almost all connected by that lack of permanence, from kings to commoners. Even the people we remember have very little impact in the mindspace of people’s day to day life.

> Google uses comforting language to portray this as a very convenient feature for 'most' developers. However, this would also give Google an ability to ship modified apps to users, still signed by perfectly valid App key, and this perspective looks really scary to me.

Interestingly, this also allows hostile takeovers of applications by state supported attackers, as you are no longer able to trust if the APK is signed by the original developer or not.
I think there's something to be said that investors who recouped funds should have a portion allocated to the whistleblower program if that's how investors got their money back.

Seems more fair.

The core issue is whether masses have a distinct element beyond being a sum of malleable individuals.

Mass psychology at the beginning of the 20th century thought so, and some research throughout the 70s and 80s continued to do so. Recent works have been less eager to assume a distinct "mass identity", and I'd also be hesitant to assume one exists (beyond corner cases such as mass panics).

Doesn't "disagree and commit" mean the opposite? I.e., that further discussion is pointless, but a decision has to be made now, and one party budges in favor of the other party?

Considering its ecosystem, what do most here use Clojure for or what do you think is its sweet spot? I used it in a project with pg/ring/reitit and while some things were nicer it was not better enough to make me switch from pg/nodejs/express for new projects. Used emacs with inf-clojure (found cider too bloated and buggy, was tempted to port some features of cider to a fork of inf-clojure) and macros were helpful in a couple of places, but other than that, you can write JS almost as how most use Clojure. Also found JS to be faster unless you got out of your way to write Javaish Clojure, which reminds that is was a time sink having to deal with Java libs(it's really not as "seamless" as most advertise) because of no Clojure equivalents.

Maven | Full-stack, Front-end Engineers | Remote (US timezones) | Full time | $120-$160k + equity | https://maven.com

Maven helps anyone build a cohort-based course and deliver an incredible student experience at scale.

Unlike small workshops or on-demand online classes, we integrate both live and asynchronous components to engage students without needing to scale up instructor time or support staff.

Our mission is to democratize education through online cohort-based courses. Right now, many experts and creators don't have the team, budget, or bandwidth to create a high quality cohort-based course. Inspired by the simplicity and power of tools like Shopify and Substack, we are building a platform that enables the best instructors to build the most engaging courses.

Our team of 12 has built and run educational experiences at Udemy, AltMBA, Minerva, Google, General Assembly, Socratic, and Shopify. We're backed by Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital, Naval Ravikant, Arlan Hamilton, and many more. We've launched sold-out courses for incredible instructors like Li Jin, Anthony Pompliano, Lenny Rachitsky, Sahil Lavingia, and more.

We're looking for our 6th and 7th engineers whose work will span across our system and will have a big impact on our product. We're experienced, ambitious, and supportive. We work with React/Typescript/Next.js, Python/FastAPI, AWS/ECS/RDS.

Because the same behaviour never exists on IRC?

All things considered, I can't say that the Matrix.org team responded slower than I've seen any IRCops respond. The main difference is you don't tend to see news about this happening on IRC as much anymore because IRC has had spam problems for decades, and there's hardly as many people who are out and about making it news.

Plus, for what its worth, most of us who run our own homeservers never encountered this issue at all, because public registration isn't open in the first place. It seems awfully dismissive to wave off Matrix for purely this one incident as it being "immature" as a protocol / platform.

I also have this issue with Spotify.

My wife’s business has a number of self taught engineers. As management (everyone management started as an engineer), they have full faith in these people and love them. However, it causes them no end of pain that they never got their degrees as client contracts often require a credential to bill at higher rates.

For the ones that are willing, they’ll gladly sponsor a degree pursuit and pay them more at completion, but the business environment puts a lot of pressure on creating a pay ceiling on uncredentialed employees
You can do this in IDEA's IDEs too, just place a breakpoint and then you can "evaluate expression" in that context to call functions, read values, etc.
Do you have some sources where I can read about the impact that that program had?

From some quick googling that was in place from January 1st, 2017 to July 3rd 2018, while the Canada wide (sort of) carbon tax was implemented in the GHGPPA, which looks like it came into effect June 21, 2018. You have a sample period of ~1 year, it seems like you're comparing cap and trade to "nothing"? The difference provinces in Canada are vastly different in terms of geography, industry, power sources, other laws, etc.

My prior is that it's not going to be good evidence of basically anything, it was too short with no real controls, but I could be wrong.

And certainly I don't disagree that there are other ways to bring down carbon emissions... but I am skeptical that they will be particularly effective.

Climate change is going to be our "great filter". I don't see any will to fix this at any level of society. As anthropogenic climate change worsens, wealthy societies are going to turn inward and double down on xenophobia to prevent migration from poorer nations more affected by climate change. The deterioration of the climate and of our geopolitical organizations will make it increasingly difficult to solve this problem and I don't see a happy ending for our species.
Yeah that was always going to happen of course.. When you make an open network, it becomes a lot harder to stop this kind of thing from happening. It's something inherent in its very nature. When you're more open you're also more open to abuse. I'm surprised it took this long (which also says a lot of good things about the maturity of the users!)

I hope they don't have to tighten things down to the point of interfering with functionality because Matrix is excellent as it is.

On the other hand, on IRC which I also use a lot it's just a fact of life.. We just apply some minor workarounds such as +r channels, roll our eyes and move on with life. I'd much rather have a free open network with some spam than a curated one by big tech that's free of spam.

PS: Another thing I do foresee happening if Matrix really takes off is big tech datamining it. It's very hard to make a network open and yet hide as much metadata as you can, e.g. how many users are on which servers, who do they communicate with across the network etc. If some big tech entities control some of the servers it becomes really hard to keep that locked away. Of course Matrix's encryption will help but not for all metadata. Again I think it's something we'll have to mitigate rather than prevent outright.

You surely must be joking!

Harmed investors are the ones that should have done the due diligence in the first place. That they got anything back at all was due to the diligence of the whistle blower. People should be rewarded for calling out white collar crime and the fees should extend to the people actually operating the fraud.
Okay, then that's not a problem with 2FA, and certainly doesn't fit in an anti-2FA rant, because it isn't 2FA.
I have a hard time understanding the concept of "art critic". Art should be something emotional, so how can one person speak on behalf on someone else's emotions?

I like Marvel movies. I hate some movies that are "classic art". How can someone classify ones as "wonderful" and others as "crappy" - and how Iam i expected to react to that? Trust someone else's emotions?

I like Middle Age art and architecture very much. My wife and children are in danger of luxating their jaws when yawning when we visit a MA museum or building. I can understand that, I do the sam ewhen we visit the Orsay museum which I find horribly boring. As "art experts", we would have very different opinions on the artefacts.
I would also love to remind everyone that this is the same company who controls not 1 but 2 core root DNS server addresses.

A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET

That means Verisign controls 15% of the global roots while everyone else holds a meager 7%. IANA got the optics on this one all sorts of messed up.
SMS 2FA is equally as resistant as TOTP to phishing (basically not at all). It is also considerably more accessible. Phishing is a much much much bigger concern than SIM-swapping, since it scales easily. Using SMS 2FA instead of TOTP does not change your risk that much.

I'd buy these complaints much more easily if people actually mentioned this stuff when TOTP comes up. But they don't.

The only meaningful jump in security is when moving to a yubikey or equivalent.

I really wish, pretty please, if every time someone slagged off capitalism here they would suggest their alternative. I know what you're against, but that's not useful or interesting because you don't even say why.

What are you for? How would you fix this flaw, this one here in this thread that you say is because of capitalism. Why is it because of capitalism and what's your solution to it? Why would your system not have this flaw? Can you give an example of a non-capitalist system that avoided this problem? That would be an interesting and useful comment. Even if I disagreed with you I would gladly upvote it as a useful contribution.

Yes this is a flaw in capitalism, simply because it's a flaw in human nature. What system is going to change that? As Adam Smith said in the Wealth of Nations: "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices."

These people are vile scumbags, they are taking the freedoms and benefits liberal democracy and capitalism provide and abusing them. We should expose them, counter their narrative, lobby our representatives and use the freedoms liberal democracy and capitalism provide us to oppose them.
