> Personally I don't find anecdotes convincing compared to the very real amount of CSAM (and actual child abuse) we already know exists

First: This is not hearsay or anecdotal evidence, this is multiple innocent real people getting their lives trashed to some degree before getting aquitted.

> I don't think a random Walmart employee is up-to-date on the legal definitions of CSAM, they're going to potentially report it regardless of what the law is (and the question of whether this is a wider trend is debatable, again this is an anecdote).

Fine, I too report a number of things to the police that might or might not be crimes. (Eastern European car towing a Norwegian luxury car towards the border is one. Perfectly legal in one way but definitely something the police was happy to get told about so they could verify.)

> With that, they were eventually found innocent, so the law already agrees what they did was perfectly fine, which was my original point.

Remember the job of the police is more to keep law abiding citizens safe than to lock up offenders. If we could magically keep kids safe forever without catching would-be offenders I'd be happy with that.

Making innocent peoples lives less safe for a marginally bigger chance to catch small fry (i.e. not producers), does it matter?

The problem here and elsewhere is that police many places doesn't have a good track record of throwing it out. Once you've been dragged through court for the most heinous crimes you don't get your life completely back.

If we knew police would always throw out such cases I'd still be against this but then it wouldn't be so obviously bad.
My view is exactly the opposite. Having suffered from the "I thought you said..." problem (where other parties recall a verbal conversation differently than me, out of forgetfulness on either of our parts or to serve their interests) for so much of my life I welcome these ubiquitous devices that augment my memory and provide black and white clarity to what was actually said. I have no nostalgia for lossy recall and the inability to quote myself or others verbatim. My memory probably isn't what it used to be in my 20's either. The role of memory augmentation in my life will likely only become greater.
> The more I look at it, the more I consider heat pump ACs to be a miracle in a box. They're a good default.

They are! If you need heating and cooling, a heat pump AC is fantastic. We just need to make building design more efficient so you need to run it less frequently. But look, even switching most existing heating/cooling HVACs to heat pump units would be fantastic. There's a lot to do.
I love the fact that I can use bookmarklets (and web inspector) to fix broken websites so they are useable.
And a lot of old issues about how drab they were are due to how long it took for the green areas to flourish properly after the building spree. These days it's much easier to "kickstart" the green areas.
Ah neat so there's a very real separation between the code itself and the queries, that I think addresses the weirdness of seeing a block of SQL in a string literal that I find a bit jarring. Out of curiousity, is this Perl by any chance? I haven't really seen here docs in use outside shell or Perl scripts
> Objective-C gets a lot of hate, but IMO it's the better answer to a C successor than C++ was, as it's literally just "C with classes" and none of that other bloat.

The hate for the amount of @, [ and ] I have to type, specially in non-US layouts is deserved.
30% of the world population has been given a COVID shot [0]. We're a couple of months away from any need for emergency responses being over.

I don't expect most of the emergency responses to actually end, that may never happen. But there is no emergency any more. It has emerged, been dealt with, and the world is now about to be in a Business as Usual state.

Thanks for your question. You are right - it is not an easy business to start. Investors are more used to open source projects that are already released and have community adoption that they can measure. We are kinda the opposite - enterprise ready software that wants to go open source.

So we want to make the software open source, but restrict a few modules that would be necessary for enterprise customers, such as security and auditing features.

We have quite a few companies lined up that want to do proof of concept trials with us. So far they are mostly big fintech companies that use it for anti-fraud, also AML/KYC companies that need to match and search lots of data from different sources in real time. Also very large companies that need to solve their "data silo" problem.

Adoption - hopefully they start with the OSS version, play with then want to upgrade to the enterprise version.

One area we have less experience is with which type of OSS licence to use.

I still don't get it. How does it intend to do it?
The wording of the abstract indicates that this article itself has been auto-generated, right? :)
Perhaps this this will put you at rest a little. The project was founded in Red Hat along Purdue University (Santiago, part of Arch Linux security team) and Google joined via GOST (The google open source security team). GOST are funded to help improve Open Source Security, they are not there to create products (they are the team that are funding the rust module work in the linux kernel). They were happy to join sigstore as Red Hat were already there first as stewards of it being open source / community centric. I also know Dan Lorenc who heads up the team and he is a great guy and very knowledgable about FOSS and Open Source.

If there were any evil intent, I am telling you know, I would be kicking up a storm.

Sorry about the "completely untrue" statement, that was not helpful. It's just we face so much unneeded FUD all the time.
bitcoin maximalism is the worst.
wealth will tend to concentrate over time anyway (parteo distribution) and a "ruling class" will emerge on bitcoin.
miner's voting with hash power is not the future of cryptocurrency governance.
If bitcoin does not evolve to allow this effectively it will be regulated out of common use.

It's possible to experiment and build decentralized governance models directly into blockchains see e.g. https://polkadot.network/polkadot-governance/

No. No it is not.
in our case we didn't have explicit "transitive hop". Instead in this example it would be just one entity with a bunch of addresses (with related dates if configured so), and multiple known names, etc. attached. Granted in order to get to that state the data loading process would include a massive batch matching which would be performed on the array of worker nodes - the number could be configured for given run, so there is kind of rough technological similarity to your serverless.
Maybe I'm just too jaded but I don't think "making voices heard" matters -- in the link I posted upthread, the overwhelming majority of voters did not want the Chat Control measure to pass, but it did anyway, "for the children". (I can't even do that -- I'm an American living over here, I have no say in politics but am subject to a lot of their rules.)

Maybe we'll get lucky and the next vote will fail, or maybe if it passes there will be providers that refuse to comply. I think if it happens, it's far more likely that most will cave, and a few will just pull the plug and stop offering service.
The solution in most of the world is to not create too detailed plans, and often to minimize the amount of zones with pretty much all of them having multiple uses.

This means for example that people obsessed with house prices can't stop a grocer from existing within walking distance.

>I think it's very sad to see that the conclusion being drawn from this discussion is that it's unprovoked hostility.

I think it's sad that unprovoked hostility isn't recognized.

>I hope both parties in this discussion can disconnect the message from the person

The message rvz makes is about a person, namely, me. They said: "users like the parent comment are once again the prime product addicted under a para-social relationship with other addicted influencers".

That message makes a claim about me, and this is not acceptable.

>Having discussions with people we disagree with about topics we see differently is in my honest opinion the way we get out of the "us vs them" tendency to think.

You don't get to have opinions or disagreements on what goes on inside other people.

Someone calling me an addict to parasocial relationships is not an opinion we should be agreeing or disagreeing about. Unless specifically asked, by me, you don't get to opine on that.
Wow I love the HN dynamic on this thread:

[Grand-comment: TikTok is legendary and beautiful. The world unites!]

[Parent-comment: OMG YUCK TikTok is the WORST because they are Nazis who are actively harming my favorite oppressed protected minority]

[Comment: And not only that, but China will ruin us all!]

[Very grey comment: Actually there's some nuance here and the thing you say is wrong, is in fact the very thing that draws people together in shared psyche groups]

HN: where popular positivity is met with unremitting cynicism, fear-mongering and hatred.

The Principle of Spree Speech: Not only do I disagree with you, but I disagree with you in the most horrible and vehement way possible. I render all your points null and bad because they emanate from a poisonous corruption that had the sheer nerve to look sideways at My Truth. All who gaze upon me, shall tremble, and they shall know my name is the Righteous One.

Guffbert's Law of Internets: The extent to which one can express hatred, is also both the extent to which the one is right, and all other's are wrong.

Pandybergh's Law of Speech Forums: When the internet reflects a reality that is more pleasant than the one known to the speaker, the speaker must punish that reality and prove that the world is in fact as hateful as the speaker has known it to be. Corollary: While simultaneously broadening the perspective of all participants, the internet mostly only succeeded in reinforcing people's already limited perspectives.

The parable of the mustard beard: Do not go mellowly into that good forum, wag, wag your finger of blame and clench your jaws of hatred at all the nice things in the world from your rocking chair, grumpy old person with no name.
This has been posted a couple of times, also very recently. But never got a lot of discussion.

> modern phonebook

phonebook or phonecall? it seems that people use it as a substitute for calling all their friends once a year.
I think tech like this is really fucking neat.

I've been playing around with similar ideas in the space. For instance, instead of delivering full frame buffers to your clients, send them instructions on what to draw based on their current viewport dimensions (e.g. webgl). This is more constrained and requires the application to target a specific UI framework - although I can support arbitrary 3d scenes of modest mesh and texture complexity now. The headline advantage here being the amount of data going across the wire is almost trivial in comparison for most use cases.

I think there is still a lot more to go in the area of server-side application delivery tech. Our networks are getting faster and our compute is getting denser.

The next generation of shardless MMO would depend on something like this. Getting to 1 million concurrent players will probably look a lot like a stock exchange.
Textpattern user, contributor and server grease monkey here.

>Is it a Wordpress replacement?

Textpattern is a content management system. It's not as fully-featured or as widely-deployed as Wordpress, but it can be used as a "write stuff and share files" CMS in the way that a lot of alternative content management systems can.

>If so, what differentiates it?

It's lightweight, agile, and works readily on most MySQL (or store brand derivative) + PHP servers. We like it. The community around it is excellent, too.

>Does it provide a GUI for non technical users?

Yes. Again, not as full-fat as Wordpress, and as with any CMS it takes a little while to learn the lingo, but it's a thoughtful interface with considerations given to workflow, efficiency and suchlike.
There are a bunch of cities in China and India where AQI peaks at well over 1000. As you'd expect, the long-term health effects are similar to chain smoking, but it doesn't cause healthy people to drop dead on the spot or anything. Asthmatics, on the hand, are in for a bad time.

Everything wrong with crypto is the notion you can make a global reserve currency impervious to special interests. It’s going to be gamed by the people at the top, they will use all and any leverage to change the code to favor them more. They will extract the value from the system like they have every other system and the easiest part is that stakeholders like you and me don’t get any vote. You can’t decouple monetary policy from governance, it just isn’t sustainable. Fiat will always be better for the stability of finance and governance bc citizens (stakeholders) perceive or have a tiny lever of control. Crypto gives you no control as a citizen, and you will become discontent with the impotence of your lawmakers to pay for laws having no sway over the system preventing them from spending. Keynes hasn’t been disproven yet and so deflationary currencies are pretty much insanity, the business people will turn every deflationary coin into their own inflationary piggy bank. History proves me right.

National governments the world over will gladly ban crypto before raising income taxes. They have backed themselves into this corner with the central banks and they won’t be able to resist its ease.
One of the main reasons to make a plan should be that it allows you to realize when you are starting to deviate from it. That’s a time you have to do some thinking and either realize you’re about to make a mistake or adjust the plan/come up with a new one.

If you do plans badly, you don’t do the thinking, but just declare any deviation from the plan a mistake.
> It doesn't need plastic or electricity to work

Not even fans to move the air around? That's neat, fully passive systems are awesome - though not always easy or possible.

In context of not blowing hot air out, the useful nugget here is heat exchange with the ground - which can also be used with a heat pump. Plenty of homes are built with such systems. But it's tricky to do in a multi-floor apartment complex, I haven't heard of any using ground-coupled heat exchangers. Perhaps some new constructions?

Of course, while the ground has amazing thermal capacity, it has rather poor thermal conductivity - for larger loads, your exchanger will need to be large and buried deep. This might be another factor limiting application in cities.

Re "How humans work": My underlying argument is that humans are and behave in a certain way, and you can't change that. Humans, just live everything else, cannot be molded into anything you can imagine. There are certain constraints, certain effects that will happen no matter what, desires that always manifest themselves. Trying to break this, get over it, circumvent it or pretend that they don't exist won't work on the long run. We know this because many have tried, and failed.

But, what you can do is build on the collective experience of humanity. And that's what I was trying to do, when I picked the human rights declaration and the chilling effect, as two examples of the relationship of humans and their privacy.

You also write that some underlying issues need to be fixed. What issues do you mean by this? What is the root cause that you'd like to fix?

Too bad the laws of thermodynamics forbid this kind of systems. Absorbing water from air and then evaporating it will result in nothing changed. Either you make a dehumidifier or you make a swamp cooler, combining them is pointless.
I've been each of them over 5 years and been involved in a huge enterprise. In my experience:

- DevOps: Hired to do everything not involved in the feature development of main business. Range varies from Terraform to maintaining Jira, GSuite, Jenkins, ETL, BizOps. Maintains scripts and hacks everywhere.

- SRE: Orders teams to define SLOs, focuses only after incident procedures, not before. Insists on creating dashboards and putting them on TVs (when we had offices). Most eventually become vendor fans.

- Platform: We made this, we know better than you, you cannot use anything else. If you need new thing/improvement, create a ticket we will get back to you in 6 months to say we cannot do it due to other company wide very important initatives.

I love not being a regular developer and work on platform side, but its a very irregular space and very hard to hire.

DevOps is a culture, where there is a mindset of "build it, run it, own it". SRE is a job title. A new job title for what used to called System Administrators, except Google called them SRE's so everyone else joined in.

> But with 55% of the population fully vaccinated there have been calls to stop spending taxpayers' money on a subsidised scheme that now mainly benefits those who are not yet vaccinated even though vaccines are available for all.

Something similar is happening in France: the tests are going to be available but no longer subsidized/covered by the state soon in an effort to encourage people to get vaccinated instead of relying on PCR test after PCR test to prove they haven’t got COVID.

>This is not the case of Bitcoin where the introduction of KYC for mining will require a hard-fork.

That's not true, introducing full kyc for transactions only requires 51% of hashrate.

>It doesn't help, also, that the network is being "processed" by a few elites (or pools of wealth) that could be, potentially, identified and made to obey the "government/s".

A direct opposite is true.
PoW is extremely vulnerable to a government takeover. Even in the worst case, buying majority of hashpower requires few billions at most - which is well within the ability of many countries.

More practically, overwhelming majority of mining is done by registered companies in impossible to hide industrial warehouses, making them trivial to regulate and force to do kyc. Total fees are very low on bitcoin now, meaning it's more profitable to mine even empty blocks (due to kyc requirement) in a place with cheap electricity than try to mine with transactions in a place with more expensive electricity. Additionally, America is notorious for trying to enforce its jurisdiction globally, so eg. European miners processing kycless American transaction may find themselves in an American prison. Even if their countries won't extradite them, all it takes is a vacation in a wrong country.
Chinese ban on mining has ironically made miners-enforced kyc a much more likely prospect. Other countries are much more likely to cooperate with America and jointly force miners to enforce kyc.

Contrary to PoW, PoS can function purely anonymously - invisible home nodes instead of big industrial warehouses. External attack by buying enough stake is impossible - there's simply not enough for sale over any realistic periods of time. Regulation is infeasible because legal escape is in theory possible even if only one tiny place in the world remains without forced kyc - there's no need for GWs of power, just some power and internet. Even in countries where it's illegal, hiding a home node is realistic - using tor, vpns and similar, making enforcement very hard.

Hopefully kyc laws on block generation aren't actually enforced as that would significantly impact adoption, however, if they were actually to happen, you are going to see bitcoin miners enforcing kyc while eth2 PoS continues unchanged.
> I don't think "making voices heard" matters

Of course it matters. Politicians must listen to voters on topics of import or they're out. If you're arguing against democracy and for some imagined alternative, then I can't help you because that's a worse outcome.

It's true some policies do pass that a lot of people don't want. It's up to the voters to make an issue of that in the next election cycle. As an American living in the EU you can certainly use your voice. That may be as consequential as your vote if you are convincing. Since I do not live there I don't engage in those politics, despite the connectedness of the world. There's enough to deal with on our home turf.
