Twitch bans official Amazon Prime Video account
I am a noob in this field, but is there some way to do the following:

0. User provides a password.

1. The system stretches this password.

2. A private key is derived from the stretched password.

3. A public key is derived from the private key.

Is this possible?
It should, by nature of CISC. However, the other coprocessors on the playstation meant you weren't wasting all your CPU cycles on rendering, which was the majority of the time on a 3D game of the era.
I mean... I empathize with your feeling. I'm not telling you how I think things should be, but more about how things are, in practice. In practice, algorithms are not copyrighteable, but specific implementations of algorithms are copyrighteable (and, by default, are copyrighted as soon as they are set in some fixed medium).

The issue of whether something is creative enough to warrant authorship rights or any other type of IP rights can be, as you know, murky, and sometimes has to be decided in court. Taking your example, if Google literally copied the code verbatim (rather than re-writing it themselves), then... technically... I guess it is a copyright violation (though not something serious).

The thing is... when you have something trivial that can be efficiently implemented in a very limited (and trivial) set of ways (e.g. 2+2=4, the definition of max(x,y)), it's easy to argue that it is plausible that you didn't copy the code (i.e. that you just independently reimplemented it yourself and it accidentally ended up looking exactly like someone else's implementation). On the other hand, when you have a large codebase, it becomes much harder to argue that (unless you use some obscene levels of obfuscation... and, even then...).

Are you really trying to argue that TikTok didn't just blatantly take large pieces of code from this opensource project? I didn't look into it too hard, but it seems like OBS might have a case here, unless we're assuming that this codebase has the complexity level of "2+2=4" and that TikTok just accidentally it.

Have a nice day.
Of course it ends, when the hospitals aren't a mess? Until then, we have to keep getting vaccines. It's clear that the wave after wave it's getting easier in the hospitals.

Remember, that hospital systems in pretty much all countries has collapsed. They have to move surgeries and some patients are even afraid to go to hospitals at this point.
Isn’t there a decline in deposit bottle usage in Germany?

When I was a kid beer was delivered to your house by the crate and empties picked up. I was led to believe this has become less common, which would be regrettable bc it was elegantly efficient.

This isn't something that can be willed away. Your acceptance means nothing to a virus.

What's likely to happen is a covid vax will get rolled in with the quadrivalent annual flu vax so most people will just get one annual booster.
> It must be fully acceptable. There is zero legal distinction between foreign-owned companies and local ones. This is not China.

Who is the "this" you're referring to? The US has forced this distinction into existence via the CLOUD Act, which applies to US-owned companies operating abroad.

The EU ought to deal with this fait accompli, and if that means reducing US companies' ability to operate in the EU as if they were in their home country, so be it. They can complain to their government about it.
> Oh, and RSS is not dead. Not at all (thanks WordPress, for putting a feed on every instance). RSS is the only workable way to make the web social again.

What we need, IMO, is more experimental protocols to enrich the web, which maverick developers can use to good effect, the same way we did originally with RSS. More browsers forking Chromium or Servo to add support for these new features. Hell, maybe even something that doesn't resemble the Web at all. David didn't beat Goliath and nor did Heracles beat the Hydra by using 'the same old weapon but better'. The only thing that wins is a paradigm shift.
I have windows, macos, and linux machines. Some of the linux machines run arch. There, am I a stereotype now?

Can we focus on what we are using our tools for building, instead of focusing on whatever tools we've chosen? Or are we collectively ashamed, as we should be, of the various ad-tech, spyware, awful society-destroying Molochs that we've created so we resort to tribal screetching about our choice of societal suicide mechanism.

(there, am I a meme yet?)
> They could have been middle class had they chosen another job.

What the effing f? So they "chose" to be poor?
Maybe at your place of employment you won't get fired for not keeping your vaccinations up to spec, but there are many employees that have had vaccine mandates for decades...nearly every hospital, most research laboratories (especially ones that handle human biological specimens), nearly every school...
What the fuck kind of a comment is this?
I had run Gentoo, so maybe the technical bar of Arch seems relatively lower.
As much as the banner stuff annoys me i am thankful that the EU is at least trying to manage the whole tracking mess against privacy. Far from perfect but at least they’re trying
It is 25 cent for glas, plastic bottles or cans in Germany.
Search around, there are projects on GitHub which are using result builders for the web. SwiftUI is a result builder too. Not a web developer, so can't tell if those projects are really useful.
From the HN guidelines:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky.
I will admit that I thought this was a joke on the "SaaS" everything trend.

I can see how this works for fairly limited web applications for example, but as soon as the application grows in complexity and interacts within a bigger system of systems, I am doubtful that it would be logistically possible to outsource the code review (legally, knowledge transfer wise, and a plethora of other angles I'm a tad bit lazy to consider).

Overall, why not, if it's priced correctly, then it's probably a set of additional eyes for small projects. But for anything medium or higher, yeah, I don't see this realistically working.

Maybe OP (?) can explain if I'm wrong (very likely). There's probably something I'm missing.
Unlikely, his specialty is syntax rather than phonology
Of course. And in some places in the world I definitely would prefer my data being processed far away.

But like OP (I assume) I have the privilege to live in a society where, every few years, I have the opportunity to elect our leaders and discussion about laws happens in the public and needs to find a majority in parliament. In the EU my country has a voice and our elected representatives help shape the directives and regulations.

While the US is also a democracy, I don't have any influence there at all (which is fine) and my data is foreign and is treated differently than that of US citizens. Furthermore, even if an American company does something blatantly illegal my practical recourses are severely limited by costs and distance (try suing someone in California)

I am not ready to accept that when interacting with a local business any data needs to flow across the Atlantic.

I really like the idea of having a local independent data handler who operates European infrastructure on behalf of companies like Microsoft did a few years back.
Script Kit: Shortcut to Everything
After GDPR came in effect a number of smaller, more regional US based newspapers have done exactly that. Too much of a hassle for the smaller players.
I'm aware of those (especially ModArchive) and I tried finding it there, but when searching for "space debris", it only found a different song (XM format). But then I took the hint to search for "space_debris" from the screenshot on the info page, and with that I was able to find it:

https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&qu...

And yes, it is really "only" a "classic" 4-channel MOD file! Cool...

So, ModArchive is great, but the search function has some room for improvement :)
Keep in mind that in the past do-gooders where trying to make the world a "better" place by burning witches (which was considered an act of compassion philanthropists engaged in) and in more recent times burning Jews
Is comparing "being an omnivore" with being involved in slave trade fair? maybe it is but still I find it hard to digest the comparison... but again is it relevant to HN?

Ever thought that these people are straight out of the holy books - have little themselves, struggle, and in the same time save the rest of the world by recycling what others would not…? We praise monks in monasteries, but forget to hail those who do the dirt.
You're too old to be having melt-downs and it's a bad example to set for your relatively new child. I think there are a couple clues in the description you've added above though. Sitting in a chair for hours is necessary as a software developer but that shouldn't mean sitting in one position. If you can't stand for part of your workday, at least change the position you're sitting in. The terms "shitty job" and "dead-in-the-water career" are a more pressing matter - your attitude is going to be pretty well correlated to your feelings about your job. If you can't simply change jobs, try to find a way to "make it new". One of my tricks is to "see it with new eyes" which can be practiced by driving through your town and imagining it's your first time there (I've seen things doing this that I'd simply never noticed before.) Another thing you can do is find ways to do your job that result in you learning new skills. Finally, when you're not working you should get away from your desk. Doing housework can be cathartic and getting some exercise will definitely help.
Meticulous (YC S21) Is Hiring #2 Founding Engineer in London
Hey HN, I'm Gabriel, founder of Meticulous.

Our mission is to make the world's code safe, performant and reliable. We're starting with a tool to catch JavaScript regressions in web applications with zero-effort from developers.

How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on new code to automatically catch bugs before they hit production. You can watch a 60-second demo at meticulous.ai.

We are a London-based YC company. Our team previously worked at Dropbox, Opendoor and Google. We just raised $4m, and are backed by some of the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks.

Catching JavaScript regressions is just the start. There is an entire category of products to build on top of replay. This ranges from automatic UI previews to revealing the performance impact of frontend code.

We want to change the way the world develops software, and influence software approaches for decades to come.

We are hiring an onsite founding engineer to join our team of two.

You will have autonomy in building out this technology, but here are a few problems you might work on:

- Build a distributed system to concurrently replay thousands of sessions, such that a developer gets a result in seconds.

- Speed up the replay of sessions in a way that retains determinism.

- Derive algorithms to detect sessions that cover differing code paths and edge cases, and ignore sessions that are too similar.

- Help build out a team of world-class, highly collaborative, software engineers.

As founding engineer, you get to shape the company, and build the culture and technology from the ground up.

What we look for:

In a sentence: Technically brilliant, delightful to work with, combined with a self-awareness and strong desire to improve.

We're currently only looking to bring on folks with mid-to-senior level skill sets. You should have strong web fundamentals and a deep love for software engineering. Maybe you enjoy programming books like Clean Code, Designing Data Intensive Applications, Pragmatic Programmer etc. or enjoy hacking on interesting side projects. You value transparency and candid feedback, and are driven by a strong desire to become the best engineer you can be.

Learning: You will be given the space and time to up-level yourself as an engineer in terms of conferences, reading, or whatever you think will be most valuable. We will also set you up with mentorship, if you desire it, from top engineering leaders (folks running 100-engineer organizations at the world's leading tech companies).

If this sounds interesting, please reach out to me at gabe [at] meticulous [dot] ai with “HN” in the subject line and 2-3 sentences about what you find interesting about Meticulous and your resume/LinkedIn/GitHub.
I really don't see this as an issue to be honest. Swift is the first class native development language for the Apple ecosystem, (eventually) superseding Objective-C. That's it's one job. Anything beyond that is a bonus. I don't expect Google to port the Android runtime, SDK and tooling to iOS either.
They have their own pixel that presumably helps them match users to visitors; also most sites have a Facebook like button somewhere.

The FB app ID is also one of the most common meta tags behind Open Graph.

A nice small example of what this can do can be seen with Clearbit [0] which does a good job of telling you where someone works based off of nothing but their IP address. Imagine that but with the exponentially larger data warehouses of Facebook or Google, paired with referrer tags (FB has CLIDs that allow them but not you to match clicks to actual users) and meta tags (FB can tell exactly what app, page etc a website is associated with and use that data to advertise to users).

Linux From Scratch, or bust.
IANAL but I dont think a parent company can ask a local branch to not follow local rules.

So for example if in EU is forbidden to store information without consent the local branch cannot do that on EU servers.
GDPR doesn't say anything about cookies other than in examples. Fingerprinting, identification via IP, localStorage, all are equivalent under it.

"Cookie Banner" is an industry term, which is incorrect.
Maybe we should put up the NS statues again because Hitler was a vegetarian? (He wasn't, although he didn't smoke).
Your argument hinges on the fact that you consider data privacy rights as "moot", "trivial" etc.. That ignores the fact that many people and the lawmakers disagree. In Germany for instance there is the fundamental right for "informelle Selbstbestimmung", the right to have governance over the information related to ones self.

Now you could certainly argue that this right is irrelevant/not needed, but you didn't bring forth arguments to this extend. Without this your argument is largely about businesses being inconvenienced (many European countries don't give businesses fundamental rights like they do for people)
I can share my (unsolicited) thoughts FWIW.

I have never been a UI or front-end developer (altough I am professional programmer), but I do enjoy dabbling in making websites and keeping up with mainstream technologies for this area.

I do find that for amateurs like me, building websites is more enjoyable than a couple of decades ago. Deploying static sites was never easier and the tooling was never better. I can make a quasi-professional site with just some Markdown and sprinkling some off-shelf CSS and minimal Javascript and we're done.

Now, regarding professional developers, I look at the pace at which all tech stacks get obsolote and it's quite scary personally. I'm not sure it's fun.

Clinics routinely require staff and physicians to be vaccinated against the flu lest there be an exemption on file.

Granted this article shared that the rate is low, it also surfaced mandates for healthcare:

The PSX CPU did not even have floating point support. It's nowhere close to a Pentium 90.
While there are multiple warnings about textbook RSA here in the comments there are currently no direct references to what you are actually supposed to do. The Wikipedia page for PKCS 1[1] provides some basic references. There is a RFC[2].

RSA is very well understood at this point. Rather than obsessing over the wrong way to do it we should be showing people the right way. There is no reason to present simplified examples without reference to the standard.

You were building a simple website that tracks users or what?

You can totally make a simple website with zero legalese and no cookie popups.
As an aside, I've been making a case for weeks at my local antifa bar that "youse" should be good enough for everybody, including they/them the bartender who's already 86'd me once for it
This makes me so angry. Nobody imposes a duty to care on Facebook (and others), so they don't. Using an online service is like walking on ice, but most people think it is solid ground.

I hope you get some resolution.
Well bitcoin still has dollars in transaction fees, so that renders it useless for any day to day purchases. There are feeless blockchains like NANO which solve many problems but mostly get ignored because they can't be mined and people can't create currency out of thin air.

What people are missing is that crypto is its own self perpetuating economy at this point, even if it's mostly scheme based.
In support of the ideal of citizens as informed, rational and responsible people (mündige Bürger).

This is a foundational assumption of post-Hobbesian democracy, which asserts that power originates from the people and is delegated to the government (contrast to other political philosophies such as divine right of rule etc).

so the consequence of 'dumbing down citizens' is a destruction of the legitimacy of the government. Just as if the king rules by divine right, he would be silly to promote atheism.
> in terms of covid hospitalisations overwhelming our hospitals: i‘m optimistic as well that this might not happen at scale.

I see no reason for this optimism. Every hospital that I know of in SE Michigan has been over capacity for several weeks. We have gotten regular emails from both hospital systems in Ann Arbor begging everyone to get vaccinated.
"In the end, I am very proud of the illustrations I came up with.’

Rightfully so. These are easily the best visual explanations of the Klein bottle I have seen.

We had a little mini-thread on getting shocked when a call comes in just yesterday:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29613712
I was wondering that too, but the problem does resonate with me, because something similar happened to me as well and I’m reasonably technical :)

My Facebook account was protected with 2FA and wasn’t compromised — no shady posts etc. In fact I don’t use Facebook much at all, only logging in occasionally because a local sports group uses it to coordinate.

It was, however, flagged and access denied. The way out was to provide government-issued ID to Facebook to get it unlocked. I suspect it was reported as “not a real person” for some reason. I did spend some time wondering if it was even worthwhile keeping my Facebook account — even after they unlocked the account I’m not sure.

Anyway - it’s just a cautionary tale, don’t get too attached to anything on a site you don’t control.

Epidemiological characterisation of 785 Omicron variant cases in Denmark
Not true in case of India either. A report[1] released just a few weeks ago mentions 0.85 million Indians who have surrendered their Indian citizenship in favour of US, Australia or other western countries in last 7 years.

It would be conservative to estimate that the number of migrants who have not yet surrendered their citizenship is 10x.

The brain drain is massive. I live and work in a tech hub and my social circle depletes every year. Every smart friend/colleague/acquaintance I have has either moved, is moving or hopes to move to the west in the next 5 years.

This is an incredible verbose article just to say that which we already know: quality of learning is more important than quantity; and focus, engagement, interest are all important context in addition to the raw speed of consumption.

Ironically, jumping past so much filler is one of the main reasons for faster speeds.

Probably your computer have an backdoor. So hackers steals your cookies to avoid 2FA and upload them on some other computer (different IP).

It's not your fault! 2FA just doesn't works as most users expect.

Few months ago this was discussed here:

One of the worst, most difficult projects I ever worked on was where I was forced into direct interaction with a "customer". She was a nice enough lady in general, and knew her subject area, but she had no technical skills at all. We were paired up to improve a part of the UI and we struggled because she would ask for things that were technically impossible, and get upset when I told her we couldn't do it. It got so bad that she complained to my boss that I wasn't doing my job as her "support person". Fortunately, my boss cleared up her misconception and we finished the project. But her fundamental failure to understand the technical limitations of the hardware and software, as well as not seeing me as a partner, were a huge hurdle.
I am still reluctant to use JS/CSS frameworks. What I learned in 10 years is the fact that I hate learning useless abstractions that will eventually fade within the span of 18/36 months. The joy in web dev for me is creating stuff not learning how to use frameworks.
I like this, though would be useful for a bookmarkable (ie. clickable with url) version of the individual colours.
I am just pointing out that your measurement as growth might be amazing today, but if, for arguments sake, it is followed by catastrophic collapse, then maybe the schenario without fossil fuels which gives you 'slow and steady' growth could come out ahead at the end of the day.
Since you used pounds as the currency I will assume you are in the UK, if so the GDPR applies and you might be in luck in terms of recovering your data.

If you see an option to download your data on the "account suspended" page, use it, or try to access the feature directly: https://www.facebook.com/help/212802592074644

That should at least give you an export of all the media uploaded by the account.

If you can't, it might be worth getting in touch with the ICO or a pro-privacy non-profit such as Open Rights Group (https://www.openrightsgroup.org) or NOYB (https://noyb.eu/en) and ask for advice on how to do a subject access request to manually get your data back, and on top of that why not request a manual review of your account suspension (the GDPR mandates that a data subject has the right to request a review of any automated decision).
There are tens of thousands of hosting providers around the world. You don't have to pick AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Not a native speaker, but I believe choosing the term 'omnivore' hint at least to a certain detachment to the position brought forward.
