I think it also speaks greatly to people's paranoia about technology they don't fully understand.

I think a lot of the HN crowd are susceptible to that because they know just enough to know it's possible but are not perhaps familiar with a given domain (I certainly know that applies to me).

It's perhaps some spin-off of the dunning-kruger observation... There must be a spot on the curve where a person knows just enough to be freaked out by what they're seeing, but not enough to explain it fully. Whereas here the Halide devs know the domain well enough to quickly diagnose it.
These mechanisms definitely aren't something built into the chain any more than they are built into HTTP or x86, but these chains are semi turing-complete so the software can be written (existing multi-sig ETH wallets are an example).

Let's say I control some funds and want you to have access to recover the funds if I lose my master key. I transfer these funds to a smart contract that allows my Ethereum key full control to move things around, and allows your Ethereum key access to give control to a new key if I lose mine (probably with a x-day delay, so I have time to revoke your access if you go rogue!).

For a 2/3 system, it's basically the same except 2 out of 3 of the other people need to "vote" on chain, and only then can my key be reset.

There wouldn't need to be a centralized party who resets the keys. Social solutions where you give trusted friend(s) limited reset access, probably with a time lock like I mentioned, are extremely promising IMO.
Correct. Spam is not a problem yet because nostr is super new and no one uses it yet. But a few friendly bots have been released for it (since it's very bot-dev friendly) and DMs are open by default (and the branle client has no way to close them) so spam is basically guaranteed to come eventually.
BS. Web 2.0 was the conjunction, refinement and broader availability of several different web-related technologies, notably JavaScript and AJAX, among other things. They enabled an interaction model for web stuff that was impossible with earlier versions of the web.

Nobody said "web2", indeed, but that doesn't invalidate that Web 2.0 described a very distinct and substantial evolution of what is possible in the browser.
From another perspective (perhaps not popular here): How does allowing access to restaurant websites help the bottom line? What is the risk? One malware outbreak can be enormously damaging.

How much time should IT employees spend unblocking restaurant websites instead of, for example, developing new applications that increase productivity? Arguably, an IT employee who is spending time unblocking restaurant websites might be viewed as negative ROI for their salary.

And users have phones, so there is an easy workaround.
I can fully understand why a company doesn't want Tor traffic coming from inside the firewall. But this case, if the sort description is accurate, should have been cleared up with a conversation with the employee possibly resulting in temporarily banning Brave until they can actually deploy it in a configuration that works with company policy.

Again, IF the description is accurate, the employee was using a browser allowed by IT and did not have any ill intentions.
Until you've learned to notice automated judgment and unlearned automatically running with it, it'll take more analysis to answer the question.

You may have genuine needs being denied by the activities. You may have unacknowledged trauma patterns matching with some aspect of the activities. You may have socially conditioned judgments moving too fast for you to currently notice.

Do you want a simple practice in noticing and unlearning such judgments?
Hmm I doubt it would look like a fisheye. The edges would appear darkened and soft, and there would maybe be extra barrel or pincushion distortion.
OMG, i was reading Quora today thinking exactly about what you wrote in the first paragraph. but in a different context.

there is that false story that gathered tons of likes and comments, even though a buried comment debunked the whole thing. the worst part is that it's since been shared in many Quora spaces. where it is gathering more likes and comments.

i stopped for a minute and wondered if the situation could have been prevented.
This assumes the provider wants to be nice and make it that way - yours does in this case. eSIM however gives them the option to make the QR codes single-use and require payment or additional verification before giving out another one.

Some commenters here are correctly saying that the carrier could technically prevent physical SIMs from being moved between phones by restricting which IMEIs are connecting to the network, but that's not usually done and there's an established convention that SIM cards can be moved around. eSIM gives them a blank slate to start over and break that convention without much backlash.
This isn't aimed at all of his followers (monastic and lay), just at the monks. Here's the quote from Brahmajāla Sutta:

> “Or he might say: “Whereas some honourable recluses and brahmins, while living on food offered by the faithful, indulge in the following games that are a basis for negligence: [...]

In other words, if you've giving up everything you own to live as a monk and only eat because of the generosity of others, you shouldn't waste time with things that aren't useful for spiritual development. If you're a layperson, do what you want.

Based on the surrounding context of the quote, it seems like this is an elaboration of the 7th of the 8 precepts, which also prohibits other forms of entertainment. The 8 precepts are followed by monks and occasionally by lay people during periods of intense practice like retreats, but during daily life, lay people follow the 5 precepts which don't prohibit entertainment.
To be fair, Caddy's docs aren't great either. Last time I tried to deploy it to give SSL to something that didn't have it, took me 2 hrs to figure out the docs enough to get it working.
Yeah, pretty much. The Internet was full of people telling us why fully wireless ear buds were impossible until overnight suddenly Apple made them possible for almost everyone.
That said, it's hard for people to know any more after things like the "I am not a cat" video.

I love & use caddy for proxying to Docker containers + other services running outside Docker.

I wish there were an easier way to bind docker ports to Caddy automatically (without using dokku et al.), but for now I maintain a Caddyfile. Which, thinking of it, doesn't even require setting up a janky script for the rare times when I need to host a new service & modify the config.

I guess there's no reason to make things harder for myself 6 months in the future.

> If a certain form of game is fun and not harming others, why not continue it?

In Buddhist terms (as I understand them), even if something is fun, it is transient. Impermanent. Eventually you'll beat the game, or it will end, and what are you left with? A replay? A new game? It only results in craving more and more -- more games, more things.

The Buddha would, I think, argue that this sort of 'clinging' is a form of suffering. Without those things, sitting alone in a room with your eyes closed and only your own self for company, how do you feel? Do you feel comfortable with your self -- knowing who you are and your place in the universe?

I think the Buddha would argue a self-sufficient happiness, as his system teaches you to realise, is more sustainable, since it is not based in any particular 'thing' (like games), but instead in an understanding of yourself and your place in the universe.

(NB: Not a Buddhist.)
Mindfully sitting with and finding value in whatever I'm judging as boring has led me to enjoy what I'm experiencing. You're the one boring yourself.

I'm playing Returnal at the moment and I'm sure Buddha would have found it pretty rad.
To me, it's just a spiritual leader advising his followers (I would venture mostly monks) that if they want to reach enlightenment, they should not be fooling around with games. The Buddha knew ordinary people minds, so his compass was better guided - assuming that you buy into the Buddhist premise, he knew how to put an end to our suffering.

Besides, Buddhism has many many facets, the teachings vary and may seem to contradict to the untrained eye, so don't read too much into it.
I subscribe to all these services and I’m thankful these tools exist.

Yesterday I was on an 8.5h plane ride and of course, all the movies I pre-downloaded on Disney+ refused to play because it kept wanting to connect to the internet first.

Netflix refused to download anything because apparently I have stuff downloaded in too many devices. Which to me, they should provide an easy way to deauthorize the other devices, but not sure what that’s even an issue since I have 4 profiles.

Apple TV has been pretty great so far without issues.

I'm not sure about this.

I bet Google is happy to collect the text data of up to 500 million users with zero restrictions from Telegram's end on how the data is used. I'm not a lawyer, but my hunch is that Google's data privacy policy applies to the official, premium service: https://cloud.google.com/terms/data-processing-terms

Google might make the determination that they'll get more value from allowing Telegram to abuse the unofficial API. However, they might face some angry customers who are paying a premium to use the official API now that this loophole has been published.

> Why should we think their moral compass/philosophy is better guided than our own? If a certain form of game is fun and not harming others, why not continue it?

Well, it might be better guided than our own; certainly old Shakyamuni made that claim on thousands of occasions, and a lot of people are reported to have agreed with him about it. I have found that sometimes I learn things by listening to other people, or trying things they recommend, because sometimes they know things I do not.

With respect to not harming others, Shakyamuni did spend a lot of time talking about how it's very important to not harm others (sometimes to an extreme unmatched even by the Jains), but Buddhists believe that not harming others is the beginning of virtue, not its highest expression.

(I'm no expert on Buddhism — I think I haven't even reached the first jhana, though I've had some vaguely similar experiences — but I've read enough of the Tipitaka that I'm pretty confident that I'm faithfully representing what it says in this case.)

The (a of course, but the one originally involved) responded 'it's a very cool lesson in focal length compression' though; so it seems to me from that & still from looking at the image that the iPhone is doing something - making choices, engineering trade-offs - that makes this accidental edge case worse.
Great and interesting point. I believe the solution is to have “security by default” Infra-as-code construct and some static analyzer
Here are the broad topics. Some of the questions are floating in public, and have been replaced, but the general idea remains.

- Debug an issue in a library

- Balance bank accounts

- Design a scalable system, and discuss the trade offs

- Integrate with an API
From a tort perspective, it seems like the client assumes all the risk of an HTTP request: I made a request for this URI - without (obviously) knowing its contents - and you send me some contents. Even if I as the client attempt to send a malicious payload, etc. the server can transmit back whatever it would like any time - that's the rules of the game.

So the server holds all the power, and as long as I got a "200 OK" response with whatever contents you sent me, you have absolved the client of wrongdoing without a much bigger burden of proof of fraud, identity theft, etc...

Otherwise, the Internet literally becomes unusable - if even submitting this comment might result in me receiving illegal content, how does one proceed?

Sidenote: this is tangentially similar to the CitiGroup Revlon case, where Citi accidentally paid out the full principal on a loan to Revlon to a bunch of small lenders, and the lenders refused to return the money.

https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1019909860

The court ruling is interesting, in that as long as the lenders assumed the money was sent on purpose - that that was the intention of CitiGroup - then there was no reason to send the money back. But if they assumed the money was sent on accident, then it was illegal to keep it.

The court ruled that under good faith argumentation ("discharge of value") that if someone owes you money and they pay it back, even "on accident" or otherwise, you have no obligation to return it.

And again, it hinged not on the individual case per se but the effect of ruling otherwise - that you could never truly spend money that was sent to you because someone might come later and claw it back, which would just grind the financial industry to a halt.

I think the same conclusion would have to be made here: if you send something and stick a 200 on it, the recipients are entitled to what you sent them.
Caddy 1 docs felt handcrafted for each use case it supports, whereas Caddy 2 documentation feels generated, except for a couple of pages, which is enough to cover 99% of my needs.
It's less about the reputation of the cameras but there was an unhealthy level of conspiracy in the original thread with regards to trust of digital images in general.

That post was already being widely used to justify the fairly ludite views on image upscaling by the judge in the Rittenhouse trial for example.
It's quite amusing though that so many brain cycles were wasted trying to figure out how ML image processing was to blame. I don't recall anyone in the previous thread saying: maybe there's a leaf between the camera and the woman's head. It certainly didn't occur to me that it was something so obvious.

(btw, is the "Karen" reference really necessary? It's a sexist, racist insult that detracts from an otherwise interesting comment)
The "Subway 'Tuna Sandwich'" one annoys me, because it's false. But more importantly, why would anyone consider some rando lawsuit (you can sue anyone for anything in the US with all kinds of bullshit statements) as fact? The "their bread is not bread" thing is also annoying. Fine, their bread has more sugar in it than Ireland allows for their staple foods, but the Internet just loves a good BS story.

You can reply to posts. Retweets and likes are not yet supported but they should be easy -- likes can be a reply with just a heart emoji and clients then display those via a counter.

The hard-landing process Google has is both human-mediated (which does not mean "you're hand-held through the process by a human being") and also iterated over time. Nobody had to figure out precisely what the account recovery process for Google was going to be a priori, because Google is a trusted third party and can adapt its recovery procedures as it needs to.
Everything I've said here, including my initial comment, was just speculation. But, if I had to speculate further, I'd guess it's because spam detectors tend not to be terribly advanced. I wouldn't expect it to consider the temporal signal of "just emailed this guy and immediately got a response back," nor would I expect it to parse the headers and check times.

Honestly, you'd probably have to actually talk to somebody at Google who works on or has worked on Gmail in order to get a real answer.
I think the proliferation of POSIX-like OSes is mostly down to OS projects wanting there to be useful software that can run on their OS, so they minimize/eliminate the work of porting.

Hi! I will definitely look at the twitter thread. I have been applying but haven't had any luck. I have gotten a few responses too but haven't landed any gig. I know it's a journey.

I have developed a few projects for myself, for friends and some clients.

Most of these are just plain old scams (phishing, inside jobs, etc), which aren't affected by the choice of programming language. There are also a bunch of hacks where off-blockchain software is compromised.
Internships really don't matter for anyone past a junior role. Direct employee referals are what will get you looked at by a recruiter and called up for a technical screening. After that it's purely a matter of how well you perform in the interview. I can guarantee your education is only give the most cursory glance. If you're 10+ years into a career I wouldn't even bother to list internships on resume anymore, there is likely far more impactful stuff you can use that space for on the page.
Thanks for the warning. I would have never thought about that, but in this case I think paintings of old typewriters, phones, cameras, and such should be safe!
My side projects have been solo endeavors but I think I would enjoy working with someone. It would be helpful if there were role definitions. I wish QAs were more interested in side projects.

Do they allow your cell phone to be out when you are working? I'd just plug my cell phone in a USB port ("I'm charging my phone" if anyone asks), and use IP over USB to talk to the phone, and run non-business internet through the phone's data connection. On step further if the PC is locked down to prevent this, plug the keyboard/mouse/monitor into a Raspberry Pi, with a soft KVM plugged into one of the Pi's USB ports so your primary connection is to a device you control. Then use the KVM software to view your PC in full screen mode. Of course, this won't work if you are in an open office and your Pi's environment looks suspiciously different from your normal Windows desktop (but that can be fixed with theming).

Of course if I worked at a place that was constantly looking for an excuse to fire you, I wouldn't work there for long (because I'd either find a more relaxing job, or get fired).
It might not be in the standard, but pretty much every implementation that I know of supports it - GNU, BSD, Solaris, even busybox and toybox.

> This risk doesn't get reduced by 10. Which is why the booster is required.

Incorrect. There is no evidence of reduction in efficacy against severe illness or death.

As Paul Offit said in the New York Times article that I linked and quoted above, which you clearly didn't bother to read:

> Boosters are likely to provide the best protection against infection with Omicron. But for most healthy young people, the original two-shot series — or one dose of Johnson and Johnson — should be sufficient to prevent hospitalization and death, Dr. Offit said. If that’s the purpose of vaccination, then “these vaccines continue to hold up,” Dr. Offit said.

https://archive.fo/b3raO

The benefit of boosters for the young is unproven -- likely zero. The harm is proven, and non-zero.
> I hope that’s true :-)

Yes, in numerous places in the Tipitaka, especially including the sutta I quoted in my top-level comment, Shakyamuni expounded the doctrine that Buddhism can be tested empirically in this life, contrasting Buddhism with other meditative traditions that ask you to take them on faith and promise evidence after you die.
