Oh no. Imgur was already close to being overloaded with ads. I have no doubt this will get much worse.

Any suggestions for alternative no bullshit image hosting services?
>A local fast food chain pains its store managers 1.5x the median household income in my state. Anyone who can run a construction crew can earn real money. In my city you can't find anyone to put up fencing for any price.

What you said is true, but for every manager, there are 20 people under him that don't make a good living and that's just the nature of the pyramid structure. All of those 20 people can't be managers or foreman, so 19 out of 20 are stuck every cycle, until the manager quits or moves or whatever.

It's like the lottery, anyone can win the lottery and be rich, but it doesn't mean everyone will.

It wasn't always like this, but business practices moved to squeeze every dollar out of every resource in the name of efficiency regardless of the human cost in most cases. That's certainly a cause.
Oo I see. Thanks for clarifying.

You remind me of some ex coworkers who thought everything could be done on RDBMS systems and then when they had to export large amounts of data topped out at 3500 tps.

Meanwhile I'm over here using Scylla and 3 nodes can give me roughly 3.5M TPS for data extraction.

RDBMS are great for certain use cases but they do not scale and if you think they do you don't really know what scale means.

Sure you can cite things like Github using MySql, but i'll also point out they've invested thousands upon thousands of man hours customizing layers on top of MySql to support their sharding which also, oops, had a bug that gave them almost half a day of downtime at one point. This is not a good use of someone's time, GH definitely made the wrong decision. Don't steer other people into making similar mistakes especially given it seems you have a lack of experience on designing systems at scale.
This was probably back in Stalin's days, where an attack by the Soviet Union on the West was reasonably viewed as a matter of time. The whole idea of separate spheres of influence and mutual deterrents wouldn't become believable until Khrushtchov.

I mean, underrated in popular culture compared to Einstein, let's say.

But, I've just learnt an anecdote about Neumann, Einstein and Godel.

When Neumann signed for Princeton, he had two conditions: a 16k annual salary (others earned ~2k at that time) and to bring in that two people who are smarter than he.

(Source, in Hungarian, someday we will have the subtitles from the AI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu6xoHlr0zk)

UPDATE: The talk is about miracles and geniuses. According to the speaker, a genius is somebody who sees something which wasn’t in the air, up until that time. Neumann wasn’t a genius, rather a polymath who saw all what was in the air at that time

Slow down, and observe. What looks like creativity from the outside is being able to synthesize lots of information into an easily-digestible form that nobody has ever thought of before. The reagents for that are 1) taking in lots of information, which it seems like you already do and 2) spending the time to mentally organize it and mull it over, which if you're busy doing things, you won't have time for.

Also don't focus on being "creative" - that's too much pressure, it'll bias you toward ideas that sound profound but are actually vapid or wrong. Focus on understanding, even if just for your own mental model. The creative part is just telling everybody what you already understand.

My point was the end result is the same as inline, yes it's less verbose than inline but it's more obscure unless you have all the shorthand class names memorized. It's just a messy string, can you even make that type safe?

That's a separate issue solved via CSS-in-JS in general. I believe your styles should be isolated to your component, preferably in the same file, not global. That doesn't mean we have to shove styling in the className string attribute.

Congrats to Imgur on its exit, I suppose.

Honestly, this is probably the best outcome they could hope for. I suspect their growth has stagnated and are losing mindshare in the meme economy to Reddit and Discord. Imgur was started in a very different world from today and they didn't evolve enough.

Regardless, I'm grateful to them. Imgur will always have a soft spot in my heart.
This is great.

The next question will be how much trust can we place in the networks of our allies that still use compromised equipment from Huawei?
Obo! Next they'll be working with Oracle to create a pricing scheme whereby you pay for (a) potential and (b) actual used clock cycles, RAM, persistent storage, and I/O.

I would think the carbon tax part would be based on carbon usage which is a factor of consumption. The entire family’s consumption. So if the rebate is $1000 per person a family if 4 gets $4000. However the net gain/loss is only calculated after knowing what your family consumes. A family of 4 bicyclists may come out ahead while a family of 4 SUV drivers may have a net loss.

Imgur, great service, lasted this long, amazing. But I always wondered how any of these random image hosts afforded bandwidth (reminds of the other various ones like TwitPic who was saved from being taken offline by Twitter). I mean, I have a gallery of images in there, privately stored, directly linked to here and there around the net, without paying for anything for years. I think at one point I can't even remember now I did pay them a small fee and then they removed that option to go it alone with ads and refused to 'take my money'. Which seemed crazy and still does. Does the small imgur community (Which exists as a bizarre also-ran of Reddit) sustain them enough on ad views?
Yeah seems like a luck of the draw for the miner to happen to find the right hash to mine the block when this transaction happened.

Very risky way to launder 23M.
Miners get to choose what transactions make it into their block. Instead of broadcasting the transaction to the mempool, the sender could send it directly to the miner who could hold onto it and included it only once they'd mined a block successfully.

Not sure I think it's likely, though - could have just been a user miskeying something.
I believe the goal is to build a model that correlates public attributes that FB provides with hidden attributes learned from these probes. When the attacker is ready to target users matching specific hidden attributes, they can reverse the correlation into ranges of public attributes that FB will accept for targeting ad campaigns.
truthfinder.com is one I've used. It's a paid service, and it presents like a scammy site at first glance, but it's legit. Lookup your own name to prove it to yourself. It has information about my past that even I forgot about.

What's especially disconcerting is how fast your physical address leaks out. Within a couple of months moving to a new rental, they have my address down to the apartment number even though I never publish that publicly anywhere. I assume they ingest large data breaches.

We really need a kind of DNS for physical addresses. Abstract your physical address behind an fixed virtual one and only allow authorized parties to resolve the address. This would also be hugely helpful for people that move around a lot, since you'd never have to update your mailing address with any vendor ever again.
All this nonsense should be rolled into a single income tax and then the overall tax rate should be lowered. Yeah sure there might be good reasons for a low capital gains tax but if that is the case then there are good reasons for a low income tax as well.
The only thing the income tax should be doing is discourage employers from piling up all the work on as few people as possible.

Employers prefer keeping people full time and full time unemployed because it is more efficient per worker and the bargaining power of the unemployed doesn't exist. If everyone were to work according to their own demand for labor then this bargaining power cliff wouldn't exist and a whole lot of welfare programs could be abolished.

Sure. You make the transaction but only send it to your friend the miner. When he gets a block, he includes your transaction.
Holy crap, I have not thought about imageshack for a decade. It was hot garbage: slow, ad ridden and if I recall correctly they would disable your hotlinked images if they used too much bandwidth. Imgur was something of a godsend at the time. Now it's commodity unfortunately.
If you think about it more broadly where you can memoize expensive results of AST -> code gen transformation or AST -> AST simplification, then this will help significantly for codegen, especially for incremental builds but also clean builds if you have your CI cluster sharing build cache information with your local devs.

Also, for a language like Rust, I'm not sure that there isn't a significant amount of time spent validating ownership & doing type inference. These are the kinds of analysis you could save into the AST & thus save a significant amount of build time when talking about large projects. I agree for smaller projects a lot of these optimizations are probably unimportant.
I guess the $23M fee was something that the market could bear.

Just because a system produces different outcomes doesn't mean it's unjust. For example, people complain about taking out $100k+ loans for some degree, and then they complain that they can't get a job. Meanwhile other degrees or even people coming out of bootcamps are able to get great jobs. Is that an unjust system? Do they bear any responsibility in this case?

> And another produces people who will sacrifice their health for a job that does not care about them and still end up poor while feeling guilty because it supposedly is their own fault.

Does striving to improve yourself only include mindlessly working a job detrimental to your health? Is there any scenario where an individual is responsible for their own lot in life?
And real question how much trust the "allies" can place in any equipment from USA...
My point was that if a solution was battle tested to withstand the scrutiny that the ne'er-do-wells encourage, then random person who knows nothing can feel comfortable that their use of the technology is also secure. It's kind of like calling something "military-grade". In addition I also qualified the statement to ensure that your second point was covered, that overhead could restrict it's use.
> The next question will be how much trust can we place in the networks of our allies that still use compromised equipment from Huawei?

Start a similar program to replace their equipment, too.
I bought one and I don't understand the love. The device itself is wonderful. It's great that you _can_ ssh into it and do whatever. But by default, you can't even hook it up to DropBox/iCloud/GoogleDrive/whatever. The only supported way to get things off the device is by email, so in effect, in order for it to be useful, you _must_ set up rsync or some other custom process and risk bricking it and voiding your warranty. I'm pretty sure I could do that safely, but for almost $500, I shouldn't have to risk that. I returned mine.

My understanding is that a portion of the SSN is based on the ZIP of your birthplace. I'm sure some clever person could come up with a way to use birth location + a checksum that would reveal an SSN without actually typing it out.

I'd argue they largely still are incapable of handling image uploads. Their gallery system sucks and the redesign just makes it harder to even see what was posted.

Why has Android 2.3 been removed? Millions locked out of Google Accounts
It's a similar dynamic to why tweets can be better than long form blog posts. The time limit forces content creators to actually get the content out. On YouTube (which I still love) it's endless intros, ads, disgressions, and sidetracks. YouTube videos often have the similar quality, it's just 40 seconds of content spread out over 12 minutes. TikTok and twitter incentive for denser content.
>you get a fork from the vendor which produced the phone you bought.

Well yes. But the vendor get its fork from Google, particularly speaking.

From my understanding, vendor are perfectly free to take Android source code and make their own OS . But if you want all the extra provided by Google Android ( the OS ), you have to include all the bundled Software. The current ruling would be like asking Windows to not bundle Email and Browser.

This is similar to the Microsoft ruling where it has to provide a Windows OS that allows multiple Browser options during setup.

Generally speaking EUR doesn't like freemium model. That is why the suggestion of charging for Android. I read it as EU having problem with Google providing Android ( OS ) for free and stifles competition from all of its bundled services.

I worry about a platform controlled by China influencing so much of the world's conversation. For instance, the CCP could use moderation and algorithms to alter exposure of protests concerning Hong Kong or movements to free Tibet. Alternatively they could amplify the most extreme and divisive political content that destabilizes their adversaries. Whenever a platform grows to be this big, we need to treat it like a government unto itself, because it literally has government-scale influence and power. Platforms at that scale need to be regulated and treated like a public-run service (with transparency, neutrality, and local government control). It is absolutely bizarre to outsource control of society's speech to giant private platforms, especially ones that are under the control of a foreign government with a long track record of coercing its private companies.
> Is there a way to manipulate or influence which miners get with transactions?

Some cryptocurrency nerds can correct me if I wrong, but AFAIK yeah. If miner is your friend you can sent privately to him in advance signed transaction that need to be secretely included in a block. Then you can only distribute the transaction itself over network after that miner already started to mine block with said transaction.

TBH I have no idea if it's possible to get block included on chain if it's had "secret" transactions in it, but for certain it's possible for one miner to start work on block with said transaction few seconds earlier than others. There is still risk that someone else will mine it though.
Yes, and yet take time to think about it for yourself before researching what already exists. For it is far easier to imagine something original before knowing how others approach the subject than afterward.

I have never seen a service decline so quickly from "simple and actually pretty useful" to "bloated, slow mess" as Imgur. I don't see that trend reversing for them.

Do people already need a reminder of the Juniper JunOS situation?

I don't think this is a good thing.

On one had we have Huawei which is untrusted by default, everyone assumes it has a backdoor but yet there are no reports of said backdoor and no evidence that networks using the hardware have suffered from exfiltration or infiltration.

On the other hand Juniper was very publicly compromised and networks running their hardware were most definitely subject to attack.

That said; this is probably primarily focused on wireless networks and if they are replacing Huawei it will be with Ericson or Nokia gear which I think we can have some manner of trust in.

EDIT: My point is I think the Huawei equipment being assumed untrusted is a better model than assumed "trusted" suppliers that can easily be back doored because no-one is looking as hard.
