How about selling legally to a state actor for 100k ?

Bug bounties need to be higher, because the black market is not the only alternative.
UPnP has a protocol to handle that, but the router needs to support it and have it enabled.
They are, thankfully they are legal in my country
And, to me, creating bones of a character seems a lot like extracting individual hits of a beat. Both allow you to easily re-arrange the original creation. (Let's assume that you own the copyright to the underlying recording in the ReCycle situation, so as to avoid a discussion of the legal implications of sampling music.)

I'm sure if I dug into a professional animation application, I could find a dozen more analogous tools.

I don't see where the legal complexity is. Not that I'm a lawyer, but I can't think of a single case where a tool to automate artistic tedium resulted in some transfer of copyright.
>The topic originally was whether Russia could realistically become the main trading partner for Scandinavian countries and how unpredictability is the number one reason why it won't happen.

Russia is a predictable Germany trading partner since Soviet times unless third countries get involved. You will not hear from German business that Russian side was unpredictable or irresponsible. You only hear it from third countries and politicians who actively interfere with "market forces".

Russia has a fine relationship with Finland and luckily there are no middle-man between them. And as the Hanhikivi plant shows Finland is not paranoid about Russia either.

>This is just Russian whataboutism, this is not about the US.

No, it's a clear demonstration that Russian behavior is not unique, only the tool set is different. You don't hear much about US, EU, India, or China "unpredictability" when they apply pressure on other countries using their tool set, do you?

>not long ago gas prices in neighbouring countries could differ 2-3x because of political decisions and artifical contractual limits, not any market forces

Did Russia somehow prevented buying gas from other sources? But the problem was that alternatives were 5-10x more expensive. So you had either pay in cash the "fair" 3x price or pay 1x in cash and rest in non-monetary forms. Looks like a fine market to me with agents playing the cards they've got.

>To this day, Russia can manipulate gas prices by reducing their throughput, since they're still the single largest provider.

EU pushed for "market forces", it got them. Why are you not happy? Why are you act surprised that after you forced long term contracts to be tied to spot prices Russia does not want to supply more than it contractually obliged? It's a perfectly rational behavior for a market agent in current conditions. Especially so, when result of significant investments literally lies on the sea floor unused enduring politically motivated delays.

>Literally the first search result, https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-bullying-undersea-baltic-cabl...

And where exactly does it mention "unannounced military drills"? Even if we are to fully trust the source (Latvian minister) a Russian ship was somewhere in the region and asked over radio some nonsense, after that it simply left. But, personally, I am quite sure that this story got significantly overblown by the Latvian side since I couldn't find an independent confirmation. All coverage gets back to Latvian ministers (either foreign or energy), which are quite known for being light with Russo-phobic declarations.

Now compare it to Polish boat literally ramming one of ships building Nord Stream 2 [0], Polish Navy "patrolling" [1] the same vessels, and Danish Navy "visiting" the area of the pipeline construction [2]. You may say that those claims are exaggerated or even lies, but at the very least they have photo and video confirmations, which can not be said about the Latvian story.

I wish I could disagree with you. Of my four last jobs, two were semantic web/knowledge graph and two have been deep learning. I get more satisfaction from ML/deep learning work.

That said, from a knowledge representation perspective, I love the idea of knowledge graphs, and sometimes they do have real efficacy.

It truly did allow for very artistic interactive assets. The ide, tooling, actionscript were quite revolutionary.

Today it could be a paradox of choice situation, for an aspiring creator to produce anything today would require them to pick up a bundle of technologies.

Ask HN: Who is looking for a co-founder? (December 2021)
Building on the "Who is Hiring?" threads, here comes a monthly thread for folks who are in search of a co-founder. Let people know what you are building and what you are looking for in a co-founder. Please state the location and include REMOTE if you are open to building a company remotely. When remote work is not an option, include ONSITE.

Please only post if you are the founder (or one of the co-founders) of the startup. No recruiting firms, venture builders, or job boards. Only one post per company (how many co-founders can one look for anyway). Please explain on a high level what your company does.

Commenters: please don't reply to these posts telling people why their idea won't work. It's off-topic here.

Readers: please only email if you are personally interested in committing yourself to a co-founder role. No "CTO for hire" companies!

P.S. This is simply following on from threads posted by "whoisbuilding", as there hasn't been a new one since August.
Censorship! /s
This confused me as well. I assume that this was meant to sink sound that you didn't want. Maybe the author was thinking "wormhole" not "blackhole"?
> One big root cause for most of the delays is the fact that no new reactor projects were started in a long time before this one

There have actually been quite a few new reactors brought online in the past two decades in France, the UAE, Russia and Belarus. This is a brand new design though, and construction was started in multiple countries at similar points in time.
In Germany it's a department of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Network_Agency who deal with complaints. They can switch off a phone number and give 300.000 Euro fines against companies.

I received one spam call in 2020.
You could gather and periodically log a latency histogram for each type of request:

This covers all the examples you gave except CDN latency. You could try polling CDN endpoints from an external client that also gathers histograms.
While I don't agree with this like of reasoning I think a potential counter argument would be that in crypto currency ownership is determined by access to private keys and not other traditional means (essentially this argument says its not stealing because ownership is determined by access).
Is the bottleneck on improving security a lack of evidence?
Thanks for your list!

Like you say - it's a two way street. If I was a recruiter, I would offer examples like yours as values in their future job. You've listed a few that we take for granted in our small company (like not being asked for impossible-to-meet metrics). Can you think of values one should look for in the person themselves in order to fulfill the other side of the two-way street?

Thanks again!
I often think, and find it amusing, that as adults we think we've grown out of many childish tendencies, but collectively we haven't. Our interactions are just a bit more complex, but fundamentally the same. In this case, it's very obvious: How often do you give your political party the benefit of the doubt, yet anything you hear or see from the one you disagree with, you immediately think of in the worse possible light? Or how often do you see one person at work do one or two stupid things and then ever since you just think they're an idiot and can't provide any value to you? We often decide we don't like some person, and it's very hard to change our views after that.

I think we're childlike in other ways too. There was a documentary I saw once which followed some 6 year olds around a school. They got into exactly the same kind of silly drama us grownups do: love triangles, fights, lying, groupthink, etc. Exactly as grownups do. It was hilarious, frightening and enlightening.

Sometimes we can break out of these immature tendencies of course, but it definitely requires maturity and mental energy, something I don't think anyone is capable of 100% of the time.
I think calling Factorio an idle game is really stretching the definition.

There are some gray areas, of course, and no definition of videogames -- or anything, really -- has a clear-cut demarcation, but really... Factorio is an RTS/programming game. You could call it an automation/programming game disguised as an RTS. It requires thinking and adjusting, designing layouts, refactoring. It's really not what you think of when you think idle games.

Really, that's the best way of thinking about it: if someone says "hey, recommend me an idle game, I've finished Cow Clicker and I'm ready for the next step", would you feel comfortable recommending Factorio?
Thankyou. That was my understanding as well. I wasn't sure if something had evolved/changed but sound like it hasn't.
Curve448 also exists, which uses ~448-bit keys. Although with that, it only offers 224 bits of security (Compared to Curve25519's 128). And NIST-P521 exists, with similar properties. I wonder whether this legislation strictly applies to the bits-of-security, or bits-of-key-length.

IIUC, AES-256 will be fine for the forseeable future, even with quantum computers. However, Curve25519 could fall relatively soon, depending on how rapidly quantum computing advances.
To explain this in detail -

The encrypted file metadata (and the search indices) are downloaded at once. It is then decrypted using the user's key on device. The user then performs a client side search to get the relevant file-ids. The file-ids are then used to retrieve retrieve the file from the decentralized storage.
My rapid antigen tests come with positive and negative control samples. I think that would be easiest: just “swab” with the positive control and it will always show as positive.
I recently tried Sublime again. It feels much snappier and more responsive than VS Code. Very enjoyable to use.

ETHOS is a fast-growing social network start-up based in London. We are currently in a third funding round and excited to grow the team come 2022. Some brief bullet points:

* Our app is a native iOS app, built in Swift, using MVVM and SwiftUI.
* Backend is Firebase, with some Java Script Cloud functions.
* Native Swift experience required, ideally with MVVM.
* SwiftUI experience would be great but not required.

We have interesting challenges in scaling, data pipelines and building the foundation for a series of new features. If you are interested apply here: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/2830868783/?refId=a%2B8kQ...
I was wondering that... Potentially where the implications of quarantine are not as bad, as say, going to work? Or maybe to inconvenience someone?

Maybe insurance fraud? If you were somehow covered or wanted a refund on some travel. But again, I can't imagine a policy which explicitly covers COVID being beneficial for the underwriter.
Stories with nuance also take longer to tell and are inherently less engaging, even if ultimately more rewarding or enlightening.
Ligatures in programming fonts: hell no (2019)
sure, but as other person stated -servers deals with that, and all legal implications about data protection apply to them - it's harder to weasel out of it that way.
It would need a lazy data constructor and the lisp ones are (usually) strict. If you make cons et al lazy then letrec on data works as it does in other languages. Alternatively, make letrec wrap the values in thunks. The resulting cyclic structures are then moderately annoying to work with.
In regards to your second question, yes, there is I2P.

https://geti2p.net

It's better than Tor in a few ways, in particular how it handles DDOS attacks. I2P is also more focused on facilitating hidden services (eepsites) than being a clearnet proxy.

There's also Yggdrasil, although it doesn't seem particularly concerned about anonymity.

For anyone who likes the general format of Idle games but doesn't like the idling parts of them or the unbounded time they take, I recommend Forager.

You can complete the game in a week, so it won't take over your life forever. It mixes the addictive grinding of an Idle game with quests, puzzles, and small dungeons that you do while the grinding part idles. By doing this, it discourages actually idling while giving you the feel of an idle game.

I've tried Cookie Clicker, Clicker Heroes, and Leaf Blower Revolution, and all of them just take over my life while at the same time having no real end goal, and I always just have to delete it all before it consumes my life. It turns out I much prefer farming sims like Harvest Moon, Slime Rancher, and My Time at Portia, but I really like how Forager takes the farming sim format and gives it the feel of an idle game without the problems that affect my real life.
The ruler did not change - the motive was religious
I agree, I don't think they have any incentive to, and it would take strong regulation to force them. We would also have to stop pretending that calls are some 'divine message' that can't be interfered with, and be morally ok with cutting off an entire country if they won't curb spam.
I think that databases and spreadsheets are two different things and they should be treaded as such. Sure, you can use spreadsheets to keep and store the data but if you will need anything more complex a database management system will for sure bring more value to the table. Learning cure is harder, but once you get a grasp of basic concepts you will be able to do things in more meaningful way.
How about sub-quantum? Maybe there's something smaller than the chance, but nobody alive will be the one to discover it.
> They're all management games from my perspective

That's too broad a perspective in my opinion. From a far enough distance, CounterStrike is also a management game, as is StarCraft and even Street Fighter II. Are they idle games?
Did anyone on the board get promoted within Facebook?
This is what they are talking about:

Gosh, I'm pretty sure the people who created this are real ol' whiskey-drinkin' goodtime-havin' hillbillies! They even have Moon of Alabama on their website!

Nice try, Xi, you fat old tyrant.
Honestly, I think they are going in the right direction.

The main problem with the Linux desktop has always been the insane fragmentation in my opinion. There's a million different options for every little thing and so developers don't have a platform they can count on and their option is to either provide reduced functionality (no integration with the desktop environment) or support a bunch of different things. And users don't get a polished JustWorks(TM) desktop experience.
It's not hard to write "Faint lines count" in the test instructions. Any line at all is a positive test.

You have to take into account the effect the extra cost has as well - if it's between doing one automated bluetooth test that costs $25 or 5 manual tests which cost $5 each - the 5 tests is clearly a better outcome for society.

So basically, another billion dollars worth of business for ASML and other suppliers of equipment that TSMC needed?

What I do wonder though, given ASML is a Dutch company, why no European governments are cooperating to start a new, European-owned chip foundry on European soil when the equipment is to a large degree manufactured in Europe. Something similar to Airbus/EADS in terms of setup.

Yes, there are GlobalFoundries and Bosch investing in "Silicon Saxony" aka Dresden, but the former is a US company owned by Emirati oil money and the latter is targeted to produce automotive chips. Europe needs independence from the US and security from China going full bonkers regarding Taiwan.
Similar ending for me as well. There were quite often issues with plugins and I ended up sshing in the machine via phone and starting the movies/series that way.
It's even easier than that for the tests we have here in Eastern Canada.

Guns exist solely to hurt or kill, there isn't much else you can do with them that's legal.

Drugs, I believe some of them probably should be legal.
Hi, I previously served as CTO of the FCC's Enforcement Bureau, where I worked on then-Chairman Wheeler's Robocall Strike Force. I'd like to offer a few observations that might be of interest.

* T-Mobile, like the other carriers, is offering a numerator and not a denominator. These call filtering services are plainly valuable, but it's difficult to evaluate how effective they are based on current public evidence.

* It isn't a coincidence that the top robocall destinations include locations that are popular for retirement. These scams disproportionately target and take advantage of older customers.

* Call authentication (STIR/SHAKEN) is helping, and will continue to become more effective. The FCC did not push carriers to rapidly adopt call authentication during the last administration; Congress eventually stepped in with the TRACED Act, and the FCC has since made STIR/SHAKEN a top priority.
I use Sublime as my primary editor.

It's just so much faster than every other GUI editor, even VSCode which is "tolerable". I can open multi-gigabyte XML files without bringing my computer to its knees. The extension ecosystem is pretty weak compared to VSCode but it does what I need. And something is just better about the way Sublime renders text. It's easier on the eyes. And the multi-line / multi-cursor editing flow is better.

I still pull out other editors if I need some advanced refactoring or debugging feature but if I can avoid it, I do.
Active monitoring means you have a program which:

- performs queries, measurements, log anomalies, etc

- collects the data and examines it

- sends alerts via independent channels when appropriate

For example, you might have an end-to-end query that is a curl call to an authenticated API which returns the free space allocated to a database table. When conducted from a host outside your network, this tests all of:

- reachability of your service

- minimum performance of your service

- availability of your database

You then need to establish what the normal values look like, so that you can send an alert when the range is exceeded in a bad way. Do something like this for everything critical.

You can also do negative checks: run a job that pushes some tiny amount of data to your monitor once a minute. If you haven't received a push in the last 90 seconds, send an alert.

If you host your service on cloud A, use a different cloud to run the performance checks. If you use Gmail for email, use another service to send alerts.
To be fair it's not like you can run one from your home connection. I mean you could, but it wouldn't be a good idea, unfortunately.
Microsoft hired a marketing firm and ran focus groups just to come up with the name Windows CE. They already had the name Windows, I wonder how much those extra two letters cost them.
It took me two reads and some additional thinking before I was able to unravel what is shown here. So I try to summarize what is displayed in this chart.

Looking at the Top 100: Here we have Unrated:0 Borked:10% Bronze+:61% Silver+:58% Gold+:51% Platinum:6% Native:29%

Some, but not all of these categories include the ones below. (Not even the rating definition will explain this) So every game that is considered Platinum is additionally counted as Gold+, Silver+, Bronce+, but not as Borked, Unrated or Native. So you have 51% of games that are Gold+ and additionally 29% with Native support, summing up to 80% Gold++.

I feel they guys at /r/dataisbeautifull might be able to create a better visualization of this.
This strikes me as a glorified way of dressing up the American “I work three jobs and barely make rent”. ie it’s not really three jobs but 3x 1/3rd jobs. Often each being zero hour. This seems like the corporate equivalent.

Unless the companies in question are utterly incompetent they’re not giving anyone full time salaries with part time expectations. If people are finding examples like that - fair play.

>Banning encryption is futile

Stop clasifying these kinds of laws as banning encryption.

We should be striving for designing cryptographic systems which allow for governments to be conditionally able to decrypt messages.

From what I understand these laws typically apply to messaging platforms and not you just plainly transmitting a message to someone.
