Hi! Have you ever been the owner of a free hosting service of any kind whatsoever?

A long time ago I was, and I can assure you that horrific child/animal abuse material does literally show up as an emergent phenomenon, necessitating moderation in 100% of platforms. I don’t think that it was the result of some complex conspiracy by the government to undermine my site since the only time I had contact with the police was when I reached out and provided the authorities with logs and whatever other relevant information I had on hand.

The factually correct statement is your first one. CP is publicly everywhere and police do nothing. The issue that you’ve maybe missed or chosen to ignore is that it’s indeed everywhere. It’s everywhere to such a huge extent that the police have to rely on private operators to self-report CSAM to them.

I’d suggest that you try making a website where people can upload images or videos for free, getting the word out, and counting the hours/days until you are contacted by your users about horrifying content that you’re hosting.

That would require actually putting money (and legal liability) into providing a free-speech-themed service though, which for some reason nobody wants to do.

Edit: Pedophiles do not necessarily act rationally, and tend to put a lot of effort into protecting their anonymity. They aren’t like you and I. They are fucking deranged.
Implementing Graceful Shutdown in Golang
You're arguing against the messenger and their delivery. Not the facts themselves. Based on an appeal to emotions.

I've already stated my case as clearly as I can, and why my preferred choice would be. Your response indicates that's insufficient to convey my intended meaning to you. Which is an interesting case of communications failure itself, come to think of it.

Again, PoC is the widely-accepted alternative to general catastrophe. Even that is very often insufficient. In a "less harm* calculus, an exploit in the wild which demonstrates risk whilst minimising consequence (not a PoC, but an actual exploit) if that results in action to address the risk would actually be preferable to the ineffective pleading alternative which results in greater harms.

Reality is the domain of pragmatic choices and hard trade-offs.

The notion of regulations being written in blood is well-established. I'd strongly recommend the work of Charles Perrow, Normal Accidents and The Next Catastrophe in particular.

I think you can even back it up further; the real value is in defining the problem statement that the OKR addresses. The resulting OKR is just one of the many paths, and measuring results against it useful for indicating your efforts but not really progress.

I agree with you on the quantitative mania. I'm not that clever but even I can frame almost any bias so it's "backed up by data". If "listen to the science" is today's new religion, our "evidence-based decision" is an opinion in disguise.
As a counterpoint, I know a couple who are both big-building architects for major firms who currently live worry-free in the Millennium Tower. I think the average person's perception isn't much use when evaluating things like this.

You don't need logarithms for angle measures. Arcs of circles work pretty well too.
I've been using spotify exclusively for a while but I realized at some point that though spotify had helped me discover a mountain of artists, it's really difficult for me to remember them, and especially difficult for me to find something to listen to, because unlike the old napster/morpheus/kazaa days, I can't organize my music into a nested structure by genre/subgenre/artist. And in fact if you're not listening to the default common genres that spotify provides, you can't realistically search by genre unless you personally make a playlist.

I get the feeling this is all about pushing content in your face, Spotify doesn't really care as much about allowing the user a convenient way to navigate personal favorites; I think they only recently even added an alphabetical sort for the library page...but when I'm idly trying to find something to listen to, having to scroll through all of my interests in one giant list is always a chore.

Ah sorry i thought you were replying to the FCRA violation part of the post.
You should include in your job listings that you screen record and take photos of them while they work, so that no one that isn't desperate for a job has to waste their time applying.
You're the visitor here, cowboy. Got a job, lived beneath my means. Biggest mistake was to not finish a degree first.
I wonder how Netflix could structure the deal with the main cast. Rock, Gadot, and Reynolds all take a share of box-office earnings, right? Netflix does not have a box office, so it's really curious how they structured such deal.
I believe you're referring to "left-pad," but I think the author actually deleted the package and that's why the dependency chain broke.
Well, it may not be directly related with this issue, I think that it's going to be harder for individual developer. More and more things are needed to be considered.

Maybe at some point, only large enterprise can afford to do proper development.
What this article is trying to tell you is that COBOL uses fixed-point arithmetic, often BCD.

It was standardized two decades before ieee-754, that we now take for granted.

The math is wildly different.
I dont mean to take away anything from your post - but wanted to mention that the parker solar probe has now beat new horizons for fastest man made object (if you don’t count the manhole cover :) )
They're pretty similar. The auto complete alone is worth adding type annotations.

Both have type stubs for third party packages that can make it easier to get coverage for your project.

My organization gradually migrated a ~300k line Python project to have full type annotations and it's so much nicer to work on.
This forum is full of [potential] immigrants so a little warning for all of you laughing at American men. It can happen to you even if you got married abroad and so on completely different terms. In CA she can take not just half of your money but half of your money forever. EVEN IF YOUR WERE CAREFUL ENOUGH NOT TO IMPREGNATE HER!!! Your only defence will be to go back to the old country. So think twice about providing her with H-4.

Also, there will be no shelter to run to. No safe space provided by the government, no newspapers complaining about domestic violence against you or political campaigns for your rights. You'll be on your own.

And don't expect to recover from it. It will scar you for life. You'll probably reach a new low plateau in a few years but you former self or productivity will be gone for good.
My understanding is that adding qubits is not hard, but using them together is hard. Also, it sounded like some qubits are only added for error correction.

Why companies and not the govt though? I understand that these companies have the choice to not do it in China, but they're incentivized to do so by the existing economic structures.
I'm a big fan of Haneke's work and I agree that depicting the truth, even obscene truths, is an important role of art. But in this case I am reminded of the "Thermian Argument" [1]. Squid Game isn't truth, it's fiction, and the authors of that fiction chose how much violence is needed to tell their story. If they go out of their way to make sure everybody gets murdered, it might not reveal a whole lot of truth.

I haven't watched any of Squid Game, I just didn't want to miss a chance to share Folding Ideas's work.

Some of them are indeed kind of victims. There are dirt poor people living there who are called white trash. Sounds like a victim to me.
I've thought a lot lately about how American's don't have the benefit of living somewhere that has been continuously inhabited (by non-nomadic people) for thousands of years. I can't go have fun in a local town center because I literally have no local town center. Living in the middle of suburbia as a youngster means everything within walking/driving distance is paved and closed by 9:00pm. There isn't much to do except spend time inside and to make it enjoyable we buy things to spend time with.

I would have loved to live European-ish but I wish it was more practical than it seems.
They wouldn't be "forced" to accept anything, they just wouldn't do the deal in the first place, and would go to someone more willing to pay them the fee they want.
This looks AWESOME, congratulations team!
If you require as few as 9 characters, without requiring special characters, the security is poor. The reason is that users do not choose random strings of letters, so the entropy per character is low.

If we assume an entropy of 2 bits per characters (which is generous if the user uses dictionary words), then 9 characters gives us 18 bits.

A 9 character password could easily be as poor as a random 18 bit integer.

If we permit the user to use nothing but lower case characters from the set a to z, we should probably require a password phrase length of at least 30 characters.

Not forcing the user to reset their password means you need a really strong one, in case the user is using the same password. You're giving attackers all the time in the world to crack a leaked hash, so it better require something resembling all the time in the world.

These recommendations are basically relying on the MFA recommendation to make up for all the others. Like, oh, it's okay for the user to have 18 bits of entropy for a password, because we can trust that the attacker won't have the user's phone.

I have heard of some of these but watched none of them. I do watch a lot of media (hours per day if you believe my devices’ records) but it’s all documentaries, public television and various “maker” YouTube videos. I tried recently to watch a few favorite TV shows from a few years ago and they didn’t hold my attention at all. I’m in my mid 40s. Is this an age thing or a nerd thing?
People who've been writing only JS for years descover typing and suddenly think it's the holy grail.

with "The application uses its own web server, so the browser talks to localhost." you are not actually saying that your application itself contains a webserver, running inside a browser, serving a website running on localhost, are you?
I don't know about quagga mussels, but last week I dove in a quarry where the zebra mussels easily colonized everything down to the bottom at 80 feet or so. Being filter feeders, I can't imagine the depth bothers them much.
What’s an example?
Could we not move to a strategy where authors have to cryptographically sign packages with their own package-specific private key when publishing them?

You then have to manually add the public key for a given package to your package.json so it can verify a tarball came from the author/source you expect.

This won't solve problems where the author is malicious, but it helps other cases.

Having written a CHIP-8 interpreter, I'd agree with the popular consensus to start with it. x86 is definitely more ambitious though, and would be fun if someone had the right background knowledge needed already.
>a million "physical" qubits is a fairly reasonable guestimate.

lol you're literally guilty of playing the same trick that people are bemoaning in another thread.

incidentaly, having taken a QC systems class from Fred Chong, i believe you guys are all working on vaporware.
Or maybe it's far more important to be okay with looking stupid than to assume that lack of understanding from others always means something negative about your communication abilities or choices.

If someone can't imagine any other reason someone would look stupid in the eyes of others than because they explained something poorly, I wonder how much experience of life have they had?

I think this was the original meaning of fingering.
This is how I felt before I moved to a place with a lower cost of living, yes, I still need to drive everywhere, but at least I'm not miserable all the time. The pace of life slowed down once I got off of the coast.
So some people screwed up a long time ago on the initial design because they didn’t take into account the possible impact of neighboring projects. Ok, geotechnical engineering gets a mulligan on that one.

Later, thoroughly on notice that things were screwed up, they designed a solution to fix the problem. But they couldn’t predict that the vibrations from drilling would cause more sinking.

Now we’re supposed to believe they can accurately predict what the vibrations of an earthquake will do?

If this building is a pile of rubble, somewhere geotechnical engineers will be saying that it couldn’t possibly be predicted.

Here’s hoping the big one doesn’t hit while this exciting experiment in foundation installation is ongoing!
I’ve just accepted this is true (for JS or TS). I spent years avoiding using JS but have just come to accept I need to crack on with it regardless, it’s here to stay and probably just going to grow. No point severely harming my job options over technical preferences.
It’s a perfectly fine option because it’s happening at developer time when you don’t care if it’s wrong. You’re IDE is likely providing typing insights anyway so waiting for the totality of the compilation to see the result of reloading your app isn’t necessary. It’s like using a potentially wrong cache that’s alerts your after the fact that the answer was invalid. Rather than waiting, you proceed to examine the results and likely refine your work before the relatively slow type checker validates the universe.

Now if you end up pushing code that hasn’t been type checked then that’s a different story. Might as well run “git yolo” if you’re not going to run type checks, linting or any other sanity tests before indicating you’re own personal sign off of a commit.
I'm still pissed off that they're pushing adverts into content even though I'm paying for premium
The data should also take into account average income or something similar. A quick search in Wikipiedia[1] shows that average wage in the USA is $65k, and the UK is $47k, a ratio of ~1.38. Before the pandemic, the consumption per capita ratio for these 2 countries was ~1.33. Basically, people who earn more tend to spend more but not disproportionately so. So the actual trend is not as extreme as that plot makes it out to be.

This is not to say that there isn't an underlying problem.

Yep...liberal intolerance is a thing.
I just switched to Spotify from Apple Music. UI definitely leaves something to be desired, but it’s better than the Apple Music bug that was chewing through 3-400 Mb/hour of cellular data. So it goes.
This is a problem. But comparatively not many high-profile break-ins have been due to npm (in spite of its massive popularity).

If you picked Node, common best practices need to be followed for production:

1) Thoroughly vet dependencies you bring in. Pin to exact patch versions in package.json. npm-shrinkwrap.

2) Add code in tree when possible (prefer StackOverflow snippets over npm).

3) Prefer light modules with fewer features. Always check their dependencies.

There will still be some vulnerabilities from time to time. But if you've been somewhat careful, most of them tend to happen among devDependencies, which is usually safe. To go further, cut out devDependencies too; for example use a shell script along with esbuild instead of bringing in a heavy-duty bundler.

This is good info thanks. I have some cloud Infra experience so I am interesting in knowing how does they keep the data stored and remove the "query" servers when not in use.

Possibly some kind of EBS equivalent storage which is attached to the VM when it's booted up? I wonder that creates more failures at the cost of operational simplicity?
> the MDI (Multiple Document Interface) was a really dumb idea. Having windows inside of windows.

Funny, to me tabbed browsing has always seemed like a reinvention of the same concept.
Shouldn’t that be up to the user to update their device or replace as they see fit? Also the manufacturer has no obligation to open up a device for 3rd party software installs.

At the most they should let their users know of the expected life cycle of the devices and warn them even the life cycle it’s end or has ended but in no way nag the user.

It would be nice for the manufacturer to allow 3rd party software but they don’t have too and shouldn’t be forced to do so. You as a consumer have the choice to choose a manufacturer that allows you to install 3rd party software.
For most people there is little point in doing so from a "I really benefitted from knowing how to use this actual math" perspective. Fantastic for expanding reasoning and logical thinking capabilities, being able to come up with ways to reason about previously unseen logical problems from experience on learning how to solve many others previously. Not because finding a particular angle in an irregular nonagon from some other measures will be useful math to know itself.
I remember seeing this on HN years ago - a big inspiration for me.

This seems dodgy. Is planetscale behind Vitess? If you press the "Learn more about Vitess" button you get to a page that gives you the impression that it is the homepage of Vitess (and that it is their product). But the actual website of vitess (https://vitess.io) mentions nothing of planetscale and the people behind it. Additionally, planetscale are displaying users of Vitess which makes it look like they are also users of planetscale.

I thought Army of Thieves removed what I enjoy about heist movies (clever puzzle solving, regardless of how unrealistic it can get) and instead replaced it with random acts of CGI-generated safe mechanics animation. Was well made but ultimately unsatisfying.
> Also, if an attacker has a hash of my password the damage is already done anyway. They can do a pass-the-hash attack, they don't even need to brute force it for the plaintext. So there's no real benefit there.

A diceware password of 6 words has an incredible amount of entropy. How would you ever brute force its hash?

How would that work? Buy a unit for $1.5M and sit on it, while paying insurance premiums. Building falls down and you get your $1.5M back after a huge amount of hassle?
I'd recommend trialling Deezer out. In Australia, it is slightly cheaper than Spotify, pushes higher quality songs, boasts a library of around ~75,000,000 songs, separation of songs/podcasts.

e: Nearly forgot - Easy to upload custom songs/albums. They aren't organised the best (On phone, they are all stored in 1 playlist called My MP3s) but they're there!
Strings are the safest way to hold big numbers in JavaScript due to how JavaScript represents numbers. Also no, infinity is not a number. It's a concept.

When I was looking at SF real estate I was surprised to discover nearly half the housing market was built on landfill. And surprisingly few of those buildings are built on bedrock.
Great stuff. I was thinking about this after watching a talk by the Beyond Meat CEO in which he states that instead of using animals to rearrange plant proteins into animal proteins (muscles), they're taking the animal out of the equation.

My next thought was, can't you take the plant out of the equation too? How difficult is it to rearrange these nutrients from a fertilizer mix straight into something resembling animal proteins (though easier for humans to digest)? I wonder at what point plants scale better than raw conversion of fertilizer to whatever protein these companies seem to be synthesizing.
I think we still need to fulfill the promise of the New Deal and the Great Society, the Great Society specifically failed because of programs constructed in haste by men with too little knowledge of the real world in which those programs would need to function.

We have a huge and growing poverty problem, one the Democrats and Republicans seem to be ignoring, we have to ratchet down misery level, a failure to do so imperils our democracy in the long run.

If people don't have resources all the freedom of choice in the world does little good, because you have too few options to chose from, too few paths to take.
