It's been a few years since I looked at the official server setup (I immediately switched to bitwarden_rs, this project), so maybe this isn't as true today:

Mostly it's that the official setup is the same thing that runs their free/paid hosted service. By design, it is quite split apart into separate areas, presumably so they can scale independently of each other: https://github.com/bitwarden/server/blob/master/SETUP.md

But most people are going to want to host self-hosted instances for themselves, their families, or maybe a small company. The official server might be the best route if you're deploying to thousand of users, but that won't be most people.

Another benefit is that this flips all of the "paid" feature flags to true. If you self-host Bitwarden's official setup you still have to pay a subscription to use paid features.
The software only flags people for manual review. It’s not an automatic software-only rejection.

The sheer amount of sprites caused it to be the biggest ROM at the time on the Super NES. 16 megabits! That also caused the game to be priced at something ridiculous like $75 US

I wonder if they used this same method on the SNES or not.
It’s quite amazing that something most people see quite worthless ("my data") is suddenly seen by the society as priceless (since I can’t buy it with money).
Heh,those were "fun" times, and they even predate my own involvement!
I didn't either, until I went through a time when I used mobile as my dominant reading platform. Screen size relative to eyeball acuity and or just a desire for scale drives it, for what that is all worth.
Unpaid leave, but they do continue to receive health insurance. Though it sounds like they'll reconsider that in three months, and then it'll go from "unpaid leave" to "terminated".

I have certifications in data privacy.

The idea that data is "property" or that it is "owned" by anyone is not codified in law. And as an analogy for how GDPR works, I think it's more harmful than helpful. I see GDPR as rejecting the idea that data has an owner, more than anything.

GDPR says that the data subject has rights to data about them. If you want to put a label on it, I would say that legally they are a stakeholder in their own data. One stakeholder of several. Not necessarily the most prominent one. GDPR gives you a seat at the table, but it doesn't actually put you in charge, the way that "ownership" implies.

The company that collects & processes the data is still the one making decisions like: What data is being collected? What is it used for? What is the Legal Basis for data collection? What Processors will the data be sent to? What countries will the data be processed in? They have a lot of leeway in how they answer these questions and still be compliant with GDPR.

So for that reason, my view is that GDPR says there are multiple stakeholders will different rights to how the data is handled. Which if anything is a rejection of the idea that the data has an owner. Certainly you have rights to the data, but some of those rights have limits, and the Controller still has right as well.

>I find this insulting as a customer. Is AWS usually contemptuous of its customers?

Oh come off it. We've all seen the idiotic things that "users" can do. Someone complains something isn't working. Then you go through the steps to see what they have done, and you think "why would you ever do that?" We've all been there, and if you haven't been there then you just haven't had much interaction with "users".

Everything is flawed and leads to false accusations, even something ridiculously black and white like electronic bank records. Witnesses, intoxication, bias, outright lying, guilt, etc. All evidence has flaws and potential bias. One need only look at all the false imprisonments that have happened over the years due to various bits of "evidence" to see that.

Instead, we should take the opposite approach: Invest heavily in this tech, and lightly-regulate glaringly bad aspects of it. E.g. For facial recognition, we can put down laws that punish unfair punishment of suspects. Or if we find employers that misappropriate facial recognition developed to record hours worked on the factory floor to punish them for chatting or going to the bathroom too many times, and we don't like that, then we regulate that.

We really went down the wrong path here somewhere, applying a black and white approach to things instead of just riding the in-between strategically and fairly. That's how we move forward as a society instead of legislating ourselves into irrelevance.
As much as I want to punish this, the actual outcome of heavy-handed fines would probably result in the company selling off all its assets... whoops there goes the database into the hands of an even less scrupulous actor.

There was a piece about privatizing the police and it had cops having exchanges like this [0]:

Ya I’m a little confused, why is this thing $400 for something that doesn’t even work? Is the target audience developers who want to develop drivers and stuff for this? If so shouldn’t it be as cheap as possible? I don’t see the point in trying to make money at this stage when your target is people interested in a non functional product.
> It is as if the software industry has collectively forgotten how to run basic data center operations. Something that used to be a blue collar skill is now treated like arcane magic.

It's not arcane magic. It's undifferentiated toil that requires hiring for a different skill set than tech companies generally want to hire for. Of course when you get to a certain size it may make sense to take on this cost.

I want us to stop pretending individual actors lack the agency to make their own decisions, and they're all blind to how AWS is charging them a fortune for such simple things they can do themselves. You get value from AWS or you stop using AWS.
If you're like me and have just been using RSA because of inertia, here's a discussion of why you might switch to ed25519 as an alternative:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/4gktbr/ssh_ed2551...

I particularly enjoyed this answer:

> ed25519 is more secure in practice. One of the biggest reasons to go with ed25519 is that it's immune to a lot of common side channels. While ed25519 is slightly less complex to crack in theory, in practice both of them are long enough that you're never going to be able to crack it, you need a flaw to exploit in the implementation or a substantial leap forward in cryptanalysis. ed25519 is more secure in practice because most instances of a break in any modern cryptosystem is a flaw in the implementation, ed25519 lowers the attack surface here.
Rideshare account hacker faces up to 22 years in prison
The workers do not create wealth (at all). We would not have iPhones if we just had FoxConn workers. We have iPhones because we had capitalists who conceived that we could have such things, gathered people who could invent the things, gave them direction, and then organized the complex factories and supply chains so that workers would have a place to come to do their part.

Likewise “heirs” is a misnomer. Most millionaires in the US did not inherit their wealth, they accumulated it.

Marxism is religious bunk.
>I don't understand how this is even possible

Because you didn't read the article. They're a private company that runs libraries on behalf of municipalities. It's possible through economies of scale and not having to pay government salaries.
I'm pretty convinced that SHEIN cannot legally take instagram pictures of the original designers wearing their own creations, and then use those pictures as product images on the SHEIN shop without permission.
From the actual study:

>We also compared learning outcomes after watching videos once at 1x or twice at 2x speed. There was not an advantage to watching twice at 2x speed but if participants watched the video again at 2x speed immediately before the test, compared with watching once at 1x a week before the test, comprehension improved.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/acp.3899?af=R

Seems like an odd comparison to make, watching a video one week before a test versus twice immediately before the test.

I intentionally learned to shoot with my DSLR in manual mode and RAW format. I think being able to take decent photos is a skill I will always wish I had, so it made sense to just get busy and learn. Turns out, it's not difficult at all to go from useless to half decent.

Here's some shots from a recent trip to a salt mine in Transylvania that I'm quite pleased with:

Perhaps Reuters is glossing over the way in which Intel's letter phrased things, but it certainly sounds as if they were utterly clueless about the subject being politically sensitive. Vs. (say) "Per U.S. law [exact, legalistic citation], signed into law on [date] by [President], Intel is legally forced to require that [dull, narrow, legalistic description of requirement, free of any hot-buttons]." Placed amid similar citations of other new laws - some of them Chinese - which affect Intel's supply chain.

Arguments about whether or not the third rail should carry 10,000 volts can be made all day. But corporate management that gets electrocuted because they were simply oblivious needs to be replaced.
I started sailing. The university near me has a club that offers lessons and after taking them you can use their boats whenever they are open. Learning the terminology can be a bit overwhelming but it becomes very useful when everyone knows exactly what you mean. Even though the club is on a small lake I enjoy sailing immensely.
> Are we going to sit in an increasingly sparsely-populated ivory tower and complain how nobody wants to learn?

Yes. I'm not going to put in the effort to reach out to video-only learners, for I likely won't get along with them once they're my colleagues.

This is literally just Librarians as a Service. I see almost nothing controversial here. Your taxes will still fund libraries, but Betty and Fred Slacker who have sapped tax dollars doing a whole lot of nothing will have to go. If you want your tax dollars to be put to better use you'd support this sort of thing. I wouldn't support the outright privatization of libraries, but also libraries are already prone to charging plenty of fees for library cards, late books, et cetera (which seems to be the fear here). Nothing will change on the side of the consumer.

ALSO: You have to consider whether YOUR public library is an above average PLS or not. I grew up with a great PLS, but in my current location it's abysmal and would likely benefit from this sort of service provider coming in.
I also see a number of "things smell bad" questions recently on Quora, though I don't know if it's at all the same thing. It would be interesting to see if there's a correlation.
I'm not very opinionated on Rust's comparison to other languages, but to me it does seem like rewriting things in rust (which now even has its own acronym RIIR) has become trendy.

Trendy enough that the very fact that rust tools happen to be written in that language is used as a main selling point.

I've been delving more into Podcast clients and on Graphene OS (Android) I really like AntennaPod: https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod

The article doesn't seem to touch on the homeless issue. Have any studies been done on how much public usage of the literary resources of a library have dropped since most libraries have morphed into defacto "safe places" for the homeless to stay during the day? Would a "private" library have less of this?

My personal take is that we should absolutely have and fund these places (and drastically more mental health care spending), but a library is not the right location for a homeless refuge.

Summary is: private company is taking over library operations in many towns, and cutting salaries and pensions, because of budgetary issues. Many people are outraged by this idea.

The company (and cities) claim that they are reducing costs but keeping or improving service levels.

The referenced NYT article from 2010 mentions another town (Redding, CA) that has used this company and hasn’t really experienced problems.

Santa Clarita (subject in the NYT article) switched back to “local staffing” in 2018. [1] [2].

The city claimed it would be cheaper to run in house:

“ City documents also said a 2012 state law known as the Public Employee Pension Reform Act that reduced pension costs for new public employees allows for the city to afford staffing the library with city employees and save money.

A city council agenda report said the net cost estimate to operate the library in-house at the same staffing level as the LSSI contract, is $3,388,409, for estimated first-year savings of $393,931.”

I don't even doubt that they'd do this. Imagine trying to read something while some advertiser constantly tries to grab your attention. Is there a single place on this planet that's safe from advertisers?
No CVEs yet. It would be truly exceptional should that record withstand widespread adoption.
Looks like the quote was from Will Durant, based on an Aristotle saying.

>"Virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions," Aristotle said. The writer Will Durant interpreted it thusly: "We are what we repeatedly do… therefore excellence is not an act, but a habit."

Libraries in my city (Łódź, Poland) are absolutely terrible. All they have are history books that remember the communist occupation and the cheapest popular novels.
>it's hard to pick up a hobby just for the sake of it
I tend to agree. But I try just the same for the art kind of things because I think I don't really have much skills in art forms (music, painting, etc.). That is really where the 'deliberate' part of the question comes from.
The blog post is not bad, but as a graphics programmer I don't get why this one algorithm is made as a full NPM package. (Getting some left-pad vibes again...) The actual source code is about 200 lines (which can probably be shortened down to 50 if you try enough), why don't you just include it as a code snippet in that blog post for others to copy in their codebase? The code itself is pretty straightforward to understand, and you're probably going to make some little modifications to suit your needs.
In the expensive tech hubs you can expect to pay at least $150k/year in salary for a competent engineer. Add all the admin overhead and other per-employee expenses (1.5x multiplier?) and 350k/year doesn't buy you anywhere near two full-time engineers.

But sure - given a tech-heavy environment, $30k/month for a competent, senior engineer with in-demand skillset sounds like it's in the ballpark.
Assuming you're correct, the parent question is still valid. I think you'd at least want to have some redundant backups to protect against loss (not compromise).

I don't think it's fair these sites editorialize content but avoid the repercussions of not editorializing away human trafficking rings (for example), or how they dodge billions in taxes around the world.

If a paid tier offered no ads, tracking or similar anti-features, you'd have a point. Since even paid offerings can't give up profiling and data sharing, it's perfectly fair to get that experience from the free data they choose to serve instead of a 402 payment required.
It's ridiculous that you should have to install a third party plugin to do this. It's not that hard for Zoom to add this as a preference users can control.

Zoom has terrible UI/UX. Don't get me started on how other users sharing their screens changes MY window layout, or how clicking the button to open the chat moves the toolbar, so that clicking a second time (to try to close the chat) ends up requesting to record the meeting.

Oh, and then there are the privacy concerns.
Books are a platform for the author to express their ideas. Privatizing libraries will give libraries the power to control speech much like Facebook and Twitter since freedom of speech protects citizens from the government but not citizens from other private entities.
Very misleading title. Should be changed.

This isn't about making libraries private and charging money to take out books or whatever. It's about municipalities hiring private companies to staff the libraries and manage day to day operations. This is still a topic worth talking about! But it doesn't mean that these libraries aren't remaining free and open to the public.
Because it is not the hash of the file, it is the hash of a DAG that contains file chunks on its leaves. And this DAG serves the purpose of making content copy+verification simpler, while also protecting the peers in the network from abuse (no chunk larger than 4MB can be transferred). Sure, people can choose if they edit the parameters that dictate how these dags are built and use non-defaults.

I understand this complain as it is not obvious why things are like they are, but there are somewhat good reasons!

> I expected to be able to compute a hash and see whether the file is in the IPFS network; then upload it if it not in the network.

There is no upload in IPFS. Either you serve the file from your peer or you don't. It should be irrelevant whether that file was already present in the network or not.

Depends if it's your first language, probably.

For an already experienced programmer, it's hard not to think about using multiple threads, even when just starting in the language. I know my few first Rust programs were using multithreaded constructs and I found that especially easy to do safely in Rust (when I started, there was already crossbeam and rayon, both making a lot of things easier).
Ask HN: How do you extract professionalism out of your freelancers,lawyers, etc?
I'm a one man show on a startup for a SaaS I'm about to launch. I'm having the most trouble not with any of the technologies I'm delaing with, but with the work I can't do myself. I am not sure in other countries but in Spain, someone will adevrtise himself as master of its craft. Then he is hired to do 10, he will deliver 5 and not even with enough quality. This applies for lawyers, graphic designers, tax attorneys, etc. Then I will need to find another lawyer, to go after the initial lawyer for not delivering quality work, and the cycle could go on and on. Professionalism is totally lacking everywhere, and it is very difficult to draw the line and get serious about anything because no one expects that the work to be done should have better quality. It is gotten so bad that I delay reading new incoming emails from these kind of freelancers since I know it will be crap and will ruin my mood for the day. Anyone has similar issues, any advice?
You can also just not visit those sites if you don’t want to be tracked. Whether the companies dodge taxes isn’t really relevant - blame your government for allowing it.

People are certainly entitled to not be tracked, but not to indulge in services for free without payment, tracking or ads.

Ironically, using these services without paying or submitting to trackings or ads and these companies not paying taxes both violate the principal of “not paying your share”
