Just a note - in all places I've worked (BigCo's) they take a zero-tolerance approach to modifying the contract. It is their way or the highway. I guess they can afford to just say no and pass on you, rather than have loads of employees with their own unique snowflake contracts. Perhaps smaller companies are less strict, but IME big ones take zero shit in this regard.

Good luck.
I believe this is exactly how minecraft's new "3D" worldgen works. It calculates a high-level terrain map, then a temperature map, and then biomes are placed on top of them that fit the characteristics.
> but it's possible to build working MVPs for very interesting services with privacy and decentralization guarantees that just weren't feasible pre-web3.

Do you have any examples? Because up to this point most web3 projects I've seen fall in one of two categories: "you could do this before" and/or "nobody actually wants this".
Yeah, that's why I'm saying hobbies with a higher goal can help - like being self sufficient. What if your contribution to society was in some other industry, like growing food?
That's the official position but the truth is a bit more complicated than that.
I think you misread the article. It consistent refers to the connector on the cables as "cable end", and the places you plug these cable ends into as "ports". It says that the ports are the ones that broadcast the capabilities.
This was part of the benefit IMO, noobs couldn’t burn a ridiculous deal instantly. Our $900 business class (90% off error fare) YVR-HND-SYD roundtrip on ANA with free stopovers was the best one I ever booked with ITA’s help.
>In the U.K. at least, two World Wars have taught us to be wary of central government databases.

Speak for yourself. The anti-ID faction is basically hysterically scared of the idea of 'papers, please'. That's it, and that's why there is a specific statutory defence to not carrying your drivers licence while driving (the HORT1 'producer'), which itself has been made irrelevant by the fact that the PNC has access to the DVLA driver file database.

We need, as a society, an ID document. In the UK, we end up making it up through the use of a passport/DL and a combination of various other official letters. Young adults end up carrying their passports just so they can prove their age to go drinking - do you not see that this is a problem?

While I share concerns re biometrics etc, the idea that an ID card is somehow anti-democratic is ridiculous and, frankly, far fetched.

>At least in the U.K. there are clear and simple guidelines for undoing the damage caused by identity theft. If a bank account or loan was opened in your name, the bank has to close it and write off any losses, and they should compensate you for the trouble.

Which is fine for the consumer, if not a considerable amount of hassle, but is also the source of much financial loss. Fraud, in the UK, takes place on an industrial scale.
2015 artical? So presumably still his glass Battery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_battery
And not a single one of the cryptocurrency developers in the entire enterprise has a single finance class under their belt. They are naïvely using pragmatic logic when they write their new distributed financial systems, yet finance does not follow pragmatic logic- it follows social and contractual agreements that are often nonpragmatic and nonlogical - as the contract holders intend. This entire concept is so ill formed it should be a Money Python skit with silly voices.
> With web 2.0, you have to trust the backend (so again in most cases Google or Amazon) and that is a limiting factor for sensitive apps

And this is where the assumption is wrong. Web3 is about gatekeeping for profit, and additionally you not only have to trust a single vendor...but literally every other peer on the decentralized internet to be trustworthy with your data.

Computational security is not the same as data security, and this is where the marketing BS is happening.

As long as there's no permission management and no deletion feature built into the blockchain, your precious private data is as publicly accessible as it never was before.

You think encryption will hold forever? SHA might disagree.

You think 20 years ahead of time the password will still be secure and not leaked anywhere else? Ha, good luck.

The problem that I have with web3 is that 99% are ponzi schemes for gatekeeping ...and the 1% that are left try to market it as a privacy thing, which it cannot be by definition of how a blockchain works.

There are so many broken software programs out there already, and now we made those bugs persistent and unfixable for eternity (with respect to "how secure" user data is stored).

If the web3 would be about real distribution (not the same as decentralization), there could be much much easier solutions for having a local copy of your old myspace photos.
I'm sorry if this is offensive, but is this satire? The responses seem genuine but OP's username is "obviouslyfake" and the username is brand new.

Audible books can be bought without a subscription, downloaded in an encrypted format, then decrypted by a FOSS tool (such as Libation).

It's roundabout, but at least for audiobooks there is a way to own what you want to listen to and still support the creators.

we do a lot of OSS and are careful each time about upstream vs fork vs from scratch.. i think key parts of the Bumble story aren't being said because I'm struggling to imagine a modern eng culture where this would happen , and the author's repo seems savvy.
yes, but this does not scale if you want to build residential connectivity.

GPON makes this scalable and affordable, but at the cost of technical complexity.
Fiber (as in, the cables themselves) is far cheaper to produce compared to copper, but this has mostly to do with the price of copper and not manufacturing techniques.
I've gotten OKs before, but they were verbal and not written, basically my manager at the time stating they will "close an eye" and let me do it. The problem was the other eye was wide open and they did enforce their "all your code are belong to us" stance against me once (you could say I was in a similar position to OP just on a waaay lower magnitude, reason why I'm so invested in this right now).

For another project I've asked them to write me an email from their legal department stating I own copyright for that code and they won't try to claim it. They've done that after a few months passed... It's a small victory I guess.

But I want a proper solution we could all agree on (both as employees and as employers as both are relevant to me right now). Currently I'm gathering all the feedback in this thread and I would love to receive copy pastes from existing employment contracts to formulate a strategy.
> It's just really easy to use and easier authentication than any scheme I've worked with before.

But this is literally the same as just "connecting my pgp public key" to some authentication service that manages this. This is no more convenient than the stuff that happens the first time I ssh into a service.

And surprise, passwords crushed this and virtually nobody uses this for consumer applications.

> but most apps using this approach are going to natively interact with the blockchain, whether it's a financial app, gaming app, whatever.

Now the story is very different. You led with "a good use of web3 technologies is auth." Now you say "yeah, auth isn't any better but you might as well do it this way given that your web3 service is using ETH for whatever other hypothetical thing."
Is the argument that liberals write better code or…? I’m completely lost in this sea of links.
This is still pirating. The fact that you don't share the cracked media doesn't change the fact that you violated the T&Cs. And I'm pretty sure they could sue you for piracy.
A note to Bumble, this makes me not want to work for you or anyone who is currently in a related leadership position at Bumble (ie: eng leadership, etc.). Given the lack of supply in engineering the bad publicity is going to cost you more than any miniscule gain.

edit: And I don't even publish OSS anymore but if you're willing to go after an employee for something this petty what else would you go after them for.
> In the causal world in which we live future actions have absolutely no impact on the present.

Of course it doesn't have any impact on the present. Neither did the old apes have any advantage over other animals just because they were gonna evolve into humans in the future. Some of them did however evolve into humans, due to events in the future (none of which were necessarily clear where they happened).

Your argument doesn't make any sense.

We define the success of the virus. We could nuke all humans on the planet right now and get rid of Covid. Or we could impose strict military lockdown measures forever and get rid of Covid. We don't because of the low perceived threat. The virus mutates by itself (call it "in the past" if you will) but human psychology is the main driver of the success of the virus.

Indeed it's hard to build a truly decentralised app right now, that's why I referred to "future version of web apps"...

Most people deploy a backend proxy and use APIs for indexing, etc. Originally, these APIs were centralised (e.g. Infura) but decentralised alternatives now exist (like The Graph).
One of the best features of the terrain generation that was removed (in beta 1.8 like the article mentions) was overhangs like this: http://i.imgur.com/AHDDS.jpg

Hmm, I've never used Traefik with it, I use Caddy in host mode. Does Traefik autodetect the containers from the Docker socket? I might look into it because that would make automatic ingress painless.

Harbormaster is basically a thin layer/manager over Compose. If Traefik works with a bunch of running containers, it'll work with Harbormaster.
That's quite funny but I assume the fig tree was a metaphor
I'm surprised there's so many comments here. My usual reaction to anything "Web 3.0" is usually "nothing to see here, move along".
They _kind of_ have this, within the limits and goals of Minecraft.

They've spoken recently about one of their intentions for Survival is for the world to be a blank slate for players own creations. Adding more and richer structures detracts from that. There's also the part where it's still a game that needs balancing, and just importing arbitrary structures and resources detracts from Survival.

There is the marketplace which has community servers/worlds/levels that showcase what other people have built. I think that's the right level for this.

Otherwise, stuff like this is perfect for the data pack ecosystem they created.
Since I'm explicitly mentioned in the article, let me say a few things:

a) I agree email is forked up.

b) I think a stamps-like solution could possibly work, but it's not the email part that makes it hard, it's the ecosystem around email that makes it hard. For example, once you send an attenuated capability to someone else, you've lost it, which means your system needs to be aware that what you're sending is a capability token and not an identity token.

If what I've said doesn't make sense- I'll explain a bit later on in this post.

c) I think it's nice to think creatively about message systems, including email, XMPP, ActivityPub

Now I'll say where I see the problems here being:

1. Overlaying on top of email

The problem with a protocol such as email is once it's in place, it's in place. Stamps (which is the idea the author references) could maybe be overlayed on ActivityPub- but I worry the time for that ship is either closing or it's sailed. I have many more thoughts on this point but it would be pages of thinking, so I'll leave it at that.

2. Cryptography not required

The author wants public keys, emails signed, etc. You don't need any of that for this to work.

What I proposed for AP (and still do) is that we can have a "public" address and then private, revocable addresses. You can then combine that with a bearer token exchange system. It's actually very simple, though I'm oversimplifying it too much here.

3. The author says I got it from Christine Webber, and "who knows where she got it from"- She got it from Mark Miller's Ph.D thesis, as well as the work done by Chip Morningstar. The theory behind all of this is called Object-capability Theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-capability_model)

The email addresses are what the OCAP folks would call a capability token- the ability to send an email is a capability, and the special email I give someone is a capability token, a bearer token in this case (though there are other patterns in the OCAP world).

I can then make other attenuated capabilities, ie proxy capabilities that may act slightly different or serve a specific purpose- like a share link that only works for a week, or a share link that's upload only, etc.

Why is all this important? Because understanding the theory will help you understand the possibilities, and also the possible flaws.

Am happy to discuss further.
A big worry with this kind of thing is how control is established, e.g. to prevent the feature to be used abusively it needs to be obvious to anyone using the "child" account that it is under control.

If your structure allows implementing this cleanly, allowing the parent account to gain a (read-only?) login session to the child account could be an option.
Apple has an enterprise distribution system for exactly that use case, instant distribution with no review required. So that’s not a valid example.

I am trying to be honest.

1. "Apple paid millions after iPhone repair techs posted a customer’s nude photos to Facebook"

2. "The incident became public because Pegatron reimbursed Apple for the settlement, then sued its own insurance provider for refusing to cover the payment."

3. " The Telegraph reported the 2016 payment based on court documents recently tied to Apple’s name"

4. Apple confirmed the incident in a statement to The Verge.

Doesn't this imply

Apple, probably in 2016, tried to hide their malice when they paid millions to their own tech who posted a customer's nude on Facebook.

Ok, by 4 it is confirmed that the source (Telegraph) you have mentioned is correct right? Yes I am holding a premise that the verge is legit source. By 1 they paid millions and their tech posted a customer's nude photo on facebook. I said they hided the statement because of 2.

Where did I go wrong. I love to be corrected tho.
I think that's because early Id games were "just" tech demos for new rendering techniques, and it was awesome. Reading John Carmack's and Michael Abrash's posts about their new rendering tricks and optimizations was half of the fun.

Also, what's "winning" in the context of game development anyway once you have a breakthrough title. Doom and Quake made enough money to make the company owners rich. There's not much point in being "richer".
In my opinion, most of the problems with today's email systems could be solved if the recipient system would require an ε payment to the recipients' public wallet. I don't care what the value of ε is nor in which digital coin it is. But there should be a negligible cost to send email, and a benefit to the receiver.

I would even go further and alot email priorities, each high priority requiring a higher payment. So my bank notifying me of an attempted login might pay a little more, but that message goes to the top of my heap. Whereas aunt sally's digital birthday card cost her near nothing and I'll get to it when I'm done with all the attempted logins to my bank.

The best part of this system is that it really does not require actual money to be exchanged. If one prefers, he could just mine the coins he uses to send the mail with. That's a feature, not a bug, to keep the system inclusive for all low-volume senders but far less so for spammers. It also makes scamming far less lucrative.

I was working on something quite similar for the last year. It’s an email system based on digital identities, where every piece of outgoing mail is encrypted and signed. It works with the existing email infrastructure by having a gateway which does encryption for the incoming mail and decrypts the outgoing mail. There is also a IMAP/SMTP bridge to allow any existing email client to work with the system.

Eventually the identity registry will be decentralized, choosing the right blockchain is the tricky part.

You'll most often see "Republican Jesus" brought up by the people who were born and raised in the evangelical church. People quite familiar with the subject. I am one of those people.

I guess if you want to ignore the movement of evangelicals to the right wing over the past 40+ years, then perhaps you could pretend it's just an invention of the "Left". But as someone who was alive for this transition and was once deeply embedded in American fundamentalist culture, I can tell you it's no invention.

There are countless books on the subject if you want to understand the history. "Jesus and John Wayne" is a recent release on the evangelical move to the right, and the evolution of "Republican Jesus". It's a good introduction if you're not familiar with the background. Written by someone who was once a member of such churches, and is still a practicing Christian.

It's true that not all Americans have this particular view of Jesus. Non-evangelical, non-fundamentalist denominations will give you a different viewpoint. If the Christians you know belong to those faiths, then "Republican Jesus" would seem quite alien. But the evangelical faiths have had much more success in broadcasting their version. Which makes their version of Jesus the one most prominently seen in the public square and the one currently in use by one of the political parties.
Would you, or somebody working, or who had worked for Red Hat be willing to copy paste that clause, or contract, redacted of course so we could use it as an example.

Google and Gmail account for a very small amount of the global mail-flow and have even less of an impact on standards. In fact they only appear as a contributor/author on RFC8617 (ARC).

No standard says, or even suggest, that “residential ips are not valid.” However, reputation is an important par of mail security. Most, if not all residential IPs won’t be sending enough mail to even register a reputation (look up your own on https://talosintelligence.com/). This is the main challenge for self-hosters. That and a significant majority of residential ISPs block SMTP traffic, for very obvious reasons. This isn’t some Google/Microsoft conspiracy. SMTP is fundamentally a plain text format that has been abused for the last 30 or so years - 30, because that’s when MIME became a thing.

Yes.
Many years ago I had a job offer at Badoo in the UK. After many rounds of going back-and-forth with the contract, me trying to better understand certain clauses, them going back to the lawyers, etc. I told them I'd be happy to sign if they removed the caluses that stated pretty much anything I created on or off hours belonged to them.

They went back to the lawyers and came back to me saying that this is not the first time this has been brought up, that the contract was standard across the org and was originally written for managerial types and C-suites, and that the company had never even considered taking over an employee's off-hours work, open source or otherwise.

I said good, then it should not be a problem to remove the clause. They said they would have another discussion and would really like it for me to join. I said great, then once you issue me a contract with that clause I'll be happy to join, assuming I hadn't found something else.

They never came back to me. For years I wondered if anything had actually changed. Reading this tweet I'm glad I declined.
