This is all without any kind of key management? No web of trust, no certificate authority/repository?

Gpg is hardly perfect - but I'm not sure how useful public key signature and authenticated encryption modes are without key management?

Are there any kind of embedded timestamp for signatures and encrypted files (signed at/valid to etc)?

Ed: I gather the main focus of this project is to extend age with minisign - but I worry that what's really needed is a (new, not PGP) standard format - that allows authenticated encryption and signing - and possibly with date/validity for signatures (beyond merely an ad hoc use of minisign trusted comments - a standardized use of minisign comments might be fine?).

At any rate, I'm not too thrilled about the age projects stand on signatures:

https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/issues/51

I strongly believe one of the main uses of encryption is enabling trust - and that implies trusted keys, trusted content and trusted signatures - along with a notion of time.

They might be constructed out of primitives - but a user facing cli/gui should probably be strongly opinionated, and have good training wheels to make misuse and misunderstanding as difficult as possible..

That’s just stunningly beautiful - Czech countryside is something else!

I’d gladly buy a self-driving car that require some additional input on such a road and had additional aids to spot oncoming traffic I can’t see behind the tractor that’s a few hundred meters forward of the spot linked to. It would still be safer.

To really make things work, we need cars to be able to negotiate the way humans do on the right of way, etc. There is a lot of non-verbal (and when that fails, very verbal) communication while driving. Currently, cars can’t communicate with each other and the pedestrians, which limits possibilities a lot.

> Do you think they actually physically piled up corpses in nursing homes?

It's not my opinion; in one case in Northern NJ, they actually piled them up in some storage room (unrefridgerated of course) till one of the workers revealed it. They tried to get away with it.

> Do you think a nursing home would allow a photographer inside to take pictures of random individual dead bodies?

Do you think in each of these situations we are talking, these photo journalists (or anyone else) are invited to do these investigations? What I started off is even after the news came out of these homes, the media chose to hide it.

You seem to give the media the benefit of doubt, I however accuse them of malice, only because of all the opportunities they had to cover this issue (for months on end). We can chose to disagree ( it boils down to our political biases actually ).

Even after this incident being exposed, the leaders in these states did not make changes to their policies for months on end. It is so surprising to me why there was no outcry about this.

Its interesting that you linked a aarp report about this, and not one from the media.
The idea that data will somehow magically translate into FSD is laughable. It relies in the delusion that we just need to train neural networks with the proper data and then we all can go to sleep.

There are many issues with Tesla's autopilot that are completely unrelated to the amount of data they have, and they will not be fixed with more data, and having more data will not make it easier to fix it. At this point, I would argue that the discussion about who owns more millions of miles of data is completely irrelevant.

The crypto world is running out of safe havens. China cracked down, and cut the power to large Bitcoin farms. In the US, the SEC and CFTC have been tightening up on crypto-related things that look like securities and things that look like exchanges. Israel kicked out the binary option crowd, which overlapped with the crypto crowd; they seem to have moved to Bulgaria. Now the EU.

The bigger countries are in general tightening up on tax havens; incorporating in the Cayman Islands or Vanatu raises more red flags now.

The Economist has an article this week, "What if Bitcoin went to zero?"[1] Cryptocurrencies haven't hit a recession yet, and we're getting close to one. Look at house prices. In a recession, things which depend
on a net inflow of money collapse.

I don't expect Bitcoin to go to zero, but Tether could, easily. When stablecoins crash, they crash all the way.

Question:

- Is it possible to handle data larger than fits into RAM?

- Any benchmark? like: https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/
( see 50GB + Join -> "timeout" | "out of memory" )
Even still, it's extremely unlikely. Unethical as he was, there's little doubt that Gates has an extremely good understanding of computers. And back then, memory limits were extremely tight and programmers ran into them all the time. Graphics and sound were a serious challenge in the DOS era.

Heck, Gates probably remembered the times where a framebuffer was discussed as a theoretical construct, that would be useful if only one could have enough memory to implement one! And at 320x200, that's 10% of your 640K.
I don't agree. Developers should be able to develop whatever app they want, and not the apps that Apple decides that can be developed.

Modern smartphone have a lot of potential that cannot be exploited only for policies. One example is network connections in general, it's so restricted that is barely usable. For example controlling the network interfaces is problematic. On iOS (and now also on Android) you can't tell the phone to connect to a particular Wi-Fi network, only to a network with a prefix and it's not even that reliable. Where that would be useful? Of course in an app that connects to some device that exposes a Wi-Fi AP.

I develop embedded devices and thanks to mobile phones network limitations everything has to pass trough a cloud. That is a big improvement for privacy if we ask Apple? I don't think so. But there are really no reliable ways to control something in your LAN. Well if you give Apple a ton of money to implement HomeKit by putting the Apple proprietary chip in your product of course, why do you think they impose this limitations?
This data also doesn't gauge sentiment.

HN talks about Bitcoin/crypto frequently, but the overwhelming opinion for years has been that it's pointless.

That will certainly be a huge miss, similar to the dismissal of easy file syncing. DeFi/crypto/NFTs seem to be gaining real traction and HN hasn't accepted it.
haha this is great

Baldur's Gate 2 runs in the browser with WASM too

I would mostly attribute it to what the pilots are likely to notice - 500' AGL is a standard call-out on landing approach (not that light aircraft pilots necessary 'call it out' but their Foreflight or whatever very well may have), and the airport in question is actually uncontrolled so "one mile final" would be a common point to make a radio call.

So it's probably that it happened somewhere near those numbers, and they were the references the pilot readily knew of.
Disclaimer: this statement is not to say that I do or do not support what's happening.

It is interesting that even platforms can be de-platformed. Going back to Parler being kicked off AWS - how far down that path is it feasible to go? I doubt that AWS specifically has a lot of providers whose refusal to do business would wreck them, but it could happen. Interesting thought experiment though.
That many have tried and failed hints that there might be something there that is harder than it looks.
I read the article. Why is what I wrote not on-topic?

I tend to think the government will find its attempts to rein in crypto will just feed into the anti-fragility of the whole thing, and the result will be increasingly nonsensical attempts to stomp it out up until capitulation.

And yes, this leads to a prediction that some very technologically illiterate legislators will probably draft rules that are semantically equivalent to what I wrote.
>arrest the CEOs of companies that violate this, put them in a CEO jail for a week, and live stream their faces the entire time.

I've used cassandra quite a bit and even I had to go back and figure out what this primary key means:

((channel_id, bucket), message_id)

The primary key consists of partition key + clustering columns, so this says that channel_id & bucket are the partition key, and message_id is the one and only clustering column (you can have more).

They also cite the most common cassandra mistake, which is not understanding that your partition key has to limit partition size to less than 300MB, and no surprise: They had to craft the "bucket" column as a function of message date-time because that's usually the only way to prevent a partition from eventually growing too large. Anyhow, this is incredibly important if you don't want to suffer a catastrophic failure months/years after you thought everything was good to go.

They didn't mention this part: Oh, I have to include all partition key columns in every query's "where" clause, so... I have to run as many queries as are needed for the time period of data I want to see, and stitch the results together... ugh... Yeah it's a little messy.

Yes, what people really need when they browse the internet is to be asked every ten seconds what kind of cookies they want, every time a different form with different options that loads so many third-party scripts that my browser chokes...and then you have to fill out the form.

I can see why bureaucrats like this system though, try to inflict the horror of their jobs onto everyone else.

And ofc, this makes no difference for tracking at all. Most people just click whatever option is the default, they have no idea what cookies are, they have no idea how the cookies are being used because the forms don't tell you...what is the decision that is supposedly been improved here? People are still being tracked, but we showed them a totally baffling form and they clicked "Yes"...society has been preserved.

Oh, and you have now split the internet into different regions...it was all worth it, no ragrats.
Ok, but please don't fuel flamewars as an alternative.

Are you assuming that somebody thought that? Or did somebody share that opinion with you? I don't mean some anonymous person you argued with, I'm talking about a real person. Because I was involved back in the single digit days - and I never encountered that kind of sentiment. Things have actually played out as expected: governments stalling for time in a weird prisoner's dilemma by sowing as much uncertainty possible without hamstringing their economies for the next century.

My 72 year old mother was just in the hospital for 5 days with AFib (not her first). We had an escalating series of interventions and procedures, none of which proved effective. By the end, I suspected she had been substantially over treated, at high cost to medicare and with high risk of complications.

So, I think this is a great idea.

She is currently waiting for an ablation, which was a close call vs leaving her in it, but she wanted to try it.
I did this by starting work at 9:05am instead of 8:00am when I lived in LA back in the `80s. Waiting that hour to leave took 1/2 hour off my drive time both ways.

My employer wasn't happy about it but he wasn't paying me to sit in gridlock traffic for the 90 minutes a day I spent to get there and back home.

When I decided to do this I was amazed that the difference between leaving at 8:30am instead of 7:30am made no difference at all in how long it took me to make the drive, but leaving at 8:50 I could drive the 55mph limit all the to my off ramp (about 10 miles) and 35mph from there to where I worked (about a 1/2 mile).

The suggestion that companies stagger start times to reduce gridlock is not new. In my case back then the work I did was specialized and I was a subcontractor getting paid by the job so I had the luxury to pull that off. But it stuck in my craw that employers expected those who work for them for a salary or hourly wages to give them those long commute times for free.

FWIW: Sitting in gridlock traffic is the reason I left Los Angeles. It was consuming way too much of my life.
I can't really see how Tesla would have more data than Google, who have been mapping the entire world for decades.
In other news, the government has declared by decree that you can't move objects outside of an arbitrarily defined border that a piece of paper says is someone's "house", and then exchange those objects for different pieces of paper that the very same government has declared has value.
The problem with your comparison is that the company that is "the spacex of FSD" is Waymo. And even them can not get FSD right.
You can make a bookmark called "Kill Sticky" or something and put this in it [1]:

It's not gatekeeping when you're talking about life or death emergency medical care. Taking students out of school isn't a solution, it's an act of desperation.

If I have a private pilots license and the pilot of my commercial aircraft is incapacitated, sure I'm technically more qualified than the others on the aircraft to try to perform an emergency landing. But that doesn't mean American Airlines should be expanding their routes because I could land a plane.

For me the sticking point is returns. Amazon makes it so easy to return stuff when other companies make you pay for your own shipping back that I'm way more willing to take a risk on something when it's on Amazon.
> People who don’t speak English perhaps.

There's a huge difference between being competent in English and knowing a handful of English words. For example, if I travel in France and stay at a hotel with a french name, am I going to have to learn French to associate the name of the hotel with the hotel? Of course not.

The thing is, if the Europeans had standardized on the word "STOP" for stop signs, people would have learned that just as easily as the icon for STOP. Oh wait, they did just that!

Well, no, if they aren't following the authentic way of Christ, they aren't.

Of course, who that applies to is a problematic thing to apply, but the fact that it may be difficult to authoritiatively assess the degree of Christianity of different groups just means that that degree is indeterminate, not equal among them.

I do think that is the best current view of a RoadMap and Vision -- it would be great to flesh it out a bit more.

In fact, I'll make a note to try and add some more higher level context into the project on our goals.
Your math is off, I think. 1000 m3 would be a 10x10x10 meter cube, which is pretty easy to imagine.
No, it would be one channel per person. Only you would be able to talk (post) in your channel. People who want to read your posts would join your channel.

Private DMs easily map to one-on-one privmsgs. Public replies and threads won't have an equivalent unless there was some meta-protocol to temporarily allow another person to talk in your channel + duplicate your posts in your channel to theirs + expire that access eventually.

Also subscribing to tags won't work without a similar "copy all messages from one channel to another" relay.
A class project would be to use machine learning on these graphs to spot trends. HN has lots of data examples.

If you're paying for Discord every month, it's actually fairly expensive. A lot of the good features unlock once people start boosting servers with Nitros and those aren't cheap either. So I'd assume they aren't bleeding cash left and right on infra costs. They might actually breaking even on the infra costs at least.

But why should customers care? They bought a device for good money and it stops working due to the user installing a different OS ? Good thing in the EU custom OS installs dont break warranty (even if vendors try to make you think otherwise).

They have the same ability to regulate it as they do cash transactions. Which is to say, people will still find workarounds if they really want to take a shot at it, but forget about transacting with legit companies and institutions unless you want the spotlight shone on you.
They might not be wrong though. Irrationally high valuations are signs for a bubble, but do not help predict when the bubble will burst.

This sort of comment is inevitable. I could say "everyone likes ice cream" and I'd get a comment saying they know someone who doesn't like ice cream. I could say "people have two legs" and there's be comment about someone who was born with one leg.

> significant unplowed snow

Spinning out on a deserted highway and hitting a snowbank and getting trapped in your car kills a large number of people every year. Even with smartphones, calls for help can't always be responded to in time, resulting in death. (Have an emergency kit in your car if you live above the snow line!)

Driving in city traffic can be quite harrowing, but hitting another car at 20-30 mph isn't usually fatal. (Wear your seatbelts!)

The point that GP post was trying to make is that humans have different preferences, and what seems dangerous to one doesn't (and possibly isn't) dangerous to another. Humans are also notoriously bad at judging danger, eg some people feel threatened by the idea of wearing of papers masks.
