The webhook URL to post to that channel got leaked outside of Discord, doesn't seem like a Discord exploit.
Good question.

Long answer:

What I meant to say is that there seems to be more of a tendency for full stack or front end engineers to bleed into backend / system than the other way around.
If we were to assume that seniority (here, strictly referring to days spent with bum on chair) is correlated with organizational influence, it would follow that there are less devs with focus on UI who end up in leadership roles. But as I said, I don’t claim to have an objective truth here.
Bulgaria has about 1.6 times more doctors per capita as Canada (4 versus 2.5 or so). Just saying...
Ironically, while I love Unix, I have spent most of my career shepherding Windows boxes. The only real horror story I got was a new coworker (turning me from "the IT guy" into "half the IT department") who looked through the Active Directory tree and found the GPO management part had replicated the organizational structure. Since there were no GPOs at the time, he considered this wasteful and confusing, so he went and deleted it.

...

Except that what he did delete, it turned out, was the actual organizational structure of the Active Directory tree, including ALL user accounts. (It's hard to explain without visuals aids, the UI gave no indication it would delete the actual AD objects, not just the (non-existent) GPOs.)

Before long, people started calling to let us know they could no longer log into their computers or the terminal server. sigh It was a fairly stressful morning.

We really tried, for about 45 minutes, to resurrect the Active Directory tree, but it was no good (this was Windows Server 2008, so no AD Recycle Bin), so we had to restore the server from backup. I have since learnt that there is backup software that allows you to restore, say, your AD tree, or maybe even just a part of it, instead of the whole machine. Well, the backup software we had at the time suuuuucked, so not only did we have to restore the entire server, but we had to literally sit all day and watch the progress bar move at glacial speed.

In the end, we had the server up and running again, and fortunately both the company's CEO and most employees actually welcomed the opportunity to finally, FINALLY clean up their desks, something every single one of them had been delaying for a long time. And by the time we were done, I was just so exhausted I wasn't even mad at the newbie anymore.

At least we learnt from that mistake, though. Got ourselves a second domain controller, and a much better backup solution. In retrospect, I think it was probably a good thing - our boss took it with good humor, no data was lost, our backup system worked, but we also saw how badly it sucked, and the incident gave us some leverage to get the funding for said upgrades. Also, everyone had a clean desk, and since it was a Friday, a couple of coworkers decided to start their weekend early.

They exist here in the US but they aren't very popular. I think it's mainly a parking problem. Most urban and suburban zoning codes prohibit parking them outside. In urban areas with street parking you can't park them on the street.

You're referring to decentralization of trust, while peer to peer means decentralization of compute and storage.

You can have a system that is decentralized in one way but not another. A peer to peer system where every object must be signed by a centralized authority has decentralized compute/storage and centralized trust. The Apple ecosystem is probably the best example of that. Apple has to sign or notarize most things but these things are then sprayed across a huge diaspora of machines.

A physically and computationally centralized repository of objects that anyone can create is the opposite. GitHub is a good example of that.

The BitTorrent magnet network and most cryptocurrencies are examples of systems that are decentralized in both respects.

Eliminating all forms of centralization without making huge sacrifices in areas like security or efficiency is really hard. I would say it's an unsolved problem since even if you try really hard centralization tends to creep in... e.g. how proof of work economies of scale create centralized mining cartels in cryptocurrencies. PoW is also very expensive, making it inefficient but moving that inefficiency "out of band" and hiding it in an externality.

Decentralization is a big rabbit hole.
Maybe lidar is a good idea.
Decoupling the 'satisfaction' from the project itself is something I need to learn. I need to be able to stick to things even beyond 'the horizon,' after they stopped providing the dopamine hit. This is the main hurdle. Thank you for your comment, I'll keep it to heart.
I think that in our constantly changing world AI will never be able to "catch up" with us. It might be able to have some ability to "catch up" to where humans are now, but that will take many decades, and by that point there will be new obstructions and different things to watch out for and it will need new training again. I have an intuition that these machines will always be lagging behind. But maybe I'm wrong.

In my own use case, I rip blurays, and these don't have the metadata populated. Files won't even appear in the UI if the filename isn't right, or it guesses completely wrongly based on just the filename. There is tucked away, really deep, some options for "unmatched" files. I had moved on to using filebot before trying that.
> people absorbing a technology as an element of personal identity

This is true for all modestly popular technologies today. It’s fueled by social media culture. We are living in a world where people get wrapped up in their individual identity because it’s the only way to get any attention. This is a simply how social capital is distributed on the internet.

If you want your programming language, new tech, new video game, or new thing to be popular, then you need to create hype with influencers that wrap their identity up in your new thing and preach it’s endless benefits with cult-like fervor.

In fact, it’s impossible for a new language to survive unless they play this game. In other words, the hype we all hate isn’t rust’s fault, it’s our fault.

This doesn't look right.

A 0.12 percent response rate strongly suggests that they're basically spamming these places, without checking for even approximate skill fit or experience level.

The ghosting rate is sadly typical, though.
Minting is just essentially purchasing something with a couple of extra steps behind the scene.

What pretty much happens when you are minting an NFT is:

1. The owner of the collection uses a program that controls everything around the NFT sales, like the start date, the price, the order of art that is distributed, the owners of the collection where the funds get transferred, and other settings.

This happens before users can mint.

2. User wants to buy art, they launch a webpage that interacts with the above program. They pay the amount of money that the art is configured to sale for, and the program will process these payments in the order they are received and distribute art based off of the order the art is to be distributed. The above program also has safeguards that prevent users from being charged in the case that the art is out of stock at the time the user attempts to pay for it.

3. The 'minting' process is taking the art that was configured from this program, creating (minting) a token for it, and creating any underlying token accounts that are needed to store the art in the user's wallet, and transferring ownership.

NOTE - there are definitely other ways to distribute NFTs, such as generative art that is created at the time of the transaction based off of the block hash. The above example is how this particular NFT collection was to be distributed, it's a common model used by probably the majority of NFT projects. The actual 'minting' step (#3) is pretty much the same though, the process of creating the token and associating the metadata and transferring ownership.

Yep, guilty on both counts, and over 40. I feel no particular inclination to change, either, since neither seems to be anything more than personal preference. Someone will always disagree, so I just stick to the way I've always done it.
Short answer: it isn’t.

A good answer to this question could easily be a finance or economics dissertation and I’m pretty sure a bunch of them are out there. Economics and finance are complex non linear systems with feedback. When a rule is uncovered, it changes the system in ways that can invalidate the rule. The answer, thus, is it depends.

Examples:

1. In the late 70s inflation in the US was raging largely due to the cost of fighting the Vietnam war while pursuing LBJs Great Society and not raising taxes to pay for it. To fight it, the fed raised short term rates to 20% which had the effect of creating deflation in the since that it brought inflation down rapidly.

2. The US had an inverted yield curve for several years in the early 90s due to Greenspan trying to keep a lid on the punch bowl. It never caused deflation, but instead assured investors that inflation was under control.

> neither democrats or republicans are actually evil

Surely this claim requires moral relativism, right? If women have a right to an abortion, then attempting to outlaw it outright in virtually every case is surely evil, and thus (most) Republicans are evil. If it's wrong to give people welfare or health care that they can't afford to pay for, then (most) Democrats are evil. If it's wrong to mandate vaccines, then (a handful of) Democrats are evil. If it's wrong to prohibit refugees or economic immigrants from crossing your border in search of a better life, then both Democrats and Republicans are evil to the extent that they do that. Same for drone strikes on purported terrorists.

Moral relativism is not as promising a position as most ordinary (non-religious) people believe. The majority of trained ethicists (in the field of Philosophy) are moral realists: they believe that certain things are actually right and wrong.

"Evil" sometimes connotes a special level of immorality than no one can ever reach - they'd have to be demon possessed, or act against the will of God (provided one exists), etc. But I think ordinary evil is quite banal. It's just a matter of large-scale injustices being perpetrated by ordinary people who think they're in the right, when they are not. I think it's almost certain that quite a few Republicans and Democrats are evil in this sense. I have opinions about which group is more systematically evil, but those aren't relevant to this comment.

I'm using this definition of sociopath vs psychopath: https://www.verywellhealth.com/sociopath-vs-psychopath-chara...

I'm not saying psychopaths have no emotions at all, I'm saying psychopaths in general don't react to this kind of thing, unless it pays to react.

I've worked with sociopaths, psychopaths and narcissists in my career; psychopaths very much do not have "emotional, impulsive behaviour". At least, not at the CEO, SVP, Chief of Surgery, etc. levels. The type of behaviour you are talking about I have seen from narcissists (NPD) and sociopaths.
>Frankly my personal opinion - either drugs have to be fully legalized (even hard one) and sold at groceries or fully and effectively banned like in Singapore. Anything in the middle creates more misery.

As someone who thinks most drugs should be legalized: that's absolute insanity. The only way you are going to safely allow a drug like heroin on the streets is to have it be prescription based and ideally paired with free mental health services. The illegal drug trade will still obviously exist, but with the uptick in fentanyl lacing, I have a feeling folks will seek out "legitimate" sources if available.
We don’t know unless we test it.

When the day comes that it becomes really real and everyone from now on gets to live for a few hundred years. But, not you. You are already too old for it to work. Maybe if you led a much more healthy lifestyle. But, no. You get to grow progressively more decrepit while watching people younger than you not go through the same problems. Eventually you will die of it while they are still partying hard in their 80s and will continue to do so for two hundred more years. Good for them. Sucks to be you.
This appears to be highly coordinated. From the article, it sounds like their Discord server has a channel (announcements) that should only be writable by admins, but some type of API keys were leaked before (could've been obtained a long time ago) and the attackers held on to it until now to post a phishing link around the time when minting was supposed to open. It seems like the attacker even made a precaution move of DDOS'ing the real web site to make sure people can't go to the real one which adds credibility. This is a pretty high level effort attack.

The weakest link here seems to be that Discord is the trusted source of truth of communication from the project (not unlike emails are the trusted channel to verify identity for individual users on many web services). What's not yet known is whether some Discord-side security is compromised or the project admins had previously been phished/social-engineered to expose their API keys in the past.

Thanks for the great questions!

Reliability, performance, and a scalable infrastructure were strong selling points of Storj for us, and hence, we decided to go with them to provide a more seamless experience in terms of data upload and fetch. We also use Filecoin for immutability of user data, and as another layer of global redundancy.

Currently, we pay for storage/egress to Storj. Users can pay using dollars/crypto on our platform and we convert it to relevant Storj tokens to pay for storage. It is not automated yet, but yes we plan to automate it soon. Also, Storj does accept Storj tokens as payments.

About interchangeability, we plan to provide the migration functionality on our end to users.

We started with Firebase/Google because it was easy to setup. However, our team has been experimenting with different blockchains to sync the different file-ids and file-hashes. This would provide even more dApp developers to develop apps on top of Slik. We have a potential fit, and expect that to be integrated in H1'2022.

Most of these stories relate to administering interactive multi-user machines, not the kind of thing we now think of as a server.

Users were simultaneously logged in at the shell going about their business in *nix, not sending stateless requests in to a server process.

And you certainly couldn't afford to have a duplicate of a machine that expensive.

The idea of multiple environments didn't really exist, and you mostly administered machines from within - hence many of the stories being about getting enough tools working again to straighten it out. You didn't have another machine (or perhaps the connectivity) to put the thing on the operating table from a working system.

Things were different...
After skimming the whitepaper and the storj website, I am not sure which parts are actually provided by Sliksafe.

The website tells me I can pay by solana (or even by credit card!), but there seems to be no indication of how much I actually would have to pay.

The claims are also not exactly thought out:

> No Backdoors
>
> Since all your files are encrypted on your device, there is no way for us at Slik Safe to access them ever. Even if we wanted, we could never access them.

That does not follow from the provided info. Simply leaking the keys in some form would already be enought as a backdoor, as the data is obviously not only stored locally.

There seems to be a lot of metadata on sliks side, or is it using some form of encrypted search?

Reminds me of "the good ol time" while working on distributed storage, getting annoyed about the filecoin whitepaper and its inaccuracies and missing references (which of course got much much further than our small research project)!
Ask HN: Validate this: send me things I want to read as a printed book
I read a lot of things online - blog posts, twitter threads, newsletters etc. But for a long time now, I've realized it really breaks my flow to be bombarded with this information overload during the course of my regular day. It takes my focus away from more productive work and the constant barrage is unsavory.

That said, I also want to consume some of this information. I want to read that post or that thread. I just don't want to do it _now_. Of course, I can use something like a mailbrew or similar but it's still online in nature.

I'm curious to hear thoughts on a service that you send links to as you collect them. Just prior to end of month, the service prints it all in reader mode and ships them to you as a little book so you can read this stuff in peace, _offline_.
> And, to me, creating bones of a character seems a lot like extracting individual hits of a beat.

I agree.

> (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.)

And this assumption isn't valid, and it's precisely where the complexity comes in. The tool doesn't just create bones. It has a bunch of rather nice gaits which presumably a human artist designed to be nice to look at:

- 8 dancing movements

- 8 funny movements

- 7 jumping movements

- 9 walking movements

I think those are analogous to the samples you're using in your example. If the sample is a generic recording of a piano, that's one thing. If it's Justin Bieber saying "Stay," that's another thing.
The governments here in the US fill two roles. Oppressing workers and protecting them. You never know what it is going to be from one moment to the next and we all await verdicts to cases like this, not knowing WTF is going to happen.

Unions are protected with various laws...then court cases pops up where there is some debate about if a Union can legally strike or even negotiate.

In my mind it is very clear. Do the workers have leverage? If so, then "the company??" has to negotiate...just like they would with any business partner.

In the end the courts are used as a bulwark against worker rights. Any victories for workers just give substance to the idea of governments intervening in business negotiations when board rooms want to socialize expenses.
