yes if you google "Residential proxies for sale" there's a whole slew of grey/black market things using peoples' trojaned home routers or home PCs as relays. IP traffic from legit seeming residential IP space is important in circumventing all sorts of things for not only scraping, but also straight out credit card fraud and other more nefarious purposes.

If it requires agreement by the platforms, then how do Web3 or cryptocurrencies help the situation at all?

Isn’t this something that the companies could do on their own using their own databases at a lower cost and lower complexity, if they wanted to do it?

This is why I have a strong No Business With Bastards policy. When someone acts badly enough, they go on the Nope list. I'll work with them if I have no choice at all, but it's consistently worthwhile to avoid those I know I can't trust. For example, Norton were already incompetent, but installing cryptominers put them on the Nope list. See also Oracle. Similarly, in traffic, that guy who does something painfully dumb is likely to keep making poor decisions, so be prepared for that, and increase your space cushion.
That is true, but it would still serve its main purpose of being a deterrent for high carbon activities/products I think.
Working on it, actually. It's been very hard to find lawyers who will consider taking the job.
Valve is going to pull the gaming industry, kicking and screaming, towards Linux. At the end of the day they are here for profits but, unlike almost everyone else, they understand that doing good by your customers is a great way to do that.

Are publishers seriously going to turn down the best of consoles (the Switch) combined with PC? Exclusives aren't even needed. While I broadly agree with the article, I consider building a bridge to Linux (Proton) pure egoistic altruism.
> While it is possible to play a lot of Windows games on Linux using Wine and/or Proton I don't recommend it. Getting Windows games to run on Linux in the first place is "a miracle", it's amazing how well many games run and perform. However, you're really not supposed to run Windows games on Linux. Just like you're not supposed to run PlayStation games on Windows. Windows games and Windows applications are meant to be run on Windows, not on Linux.

I appreciate the piece but you lost me here. I get that Proton isn't as good as a native title, but how do we get from there to being told what I'm "supposed" to run on my computer? Emulators are a pretty valid use case I think.

I'm glad the author's family is comfortable on Linux, but I hope they won't get this type of bad advice if they happen to ask about Linux gaming (or emulation! or compatibility libraries for foreign systems, or ...).
> Each of those shell companies involved the production of notarized affidavits in the names of people who didn’t exist. As a result, Lydon was able to charge Golestan with 20 counts of wire fraud — one for each payment made by the phony companies that bought the IP addresses from ARIN.

That's the part that becomes wire fraud, says the OP. Faked notarizations of people who don't exist.
The major browser vendors committed to all genuinely new features being Secure context only. Secure context means either HTTPS or the local machine.

If the feature is something you could do with a polyfill anyway then it's not really a new feature, it usually makes no sense to restrict it. But something like Web MIDI you clearly can't build with a polyfill, so restricting that makes sense.

The reason to do this for new features is that by definition if your HTTP site already works, it didn't use them, if it relied on features that didn't exist it didn't work. So this prevents backsliding, your HTTPS site might stop working if you downgrade it to HTTP, but your 1997 HTTP site still works since obviously that doesn't use Web MIDI, or indeed probably CSS.

For a few features, vendors are going back and removing Insecure Context support, but this work is slow because inevitably even if it was a terrible idea people relied on it working (e.g. EME is used extensively from HTTP, because you know you really care that people can't pirate your mediocre training video, but you don't care enough to prevent them trivially intercepting it during download...)

I immediately closed the article after reading that.
> On the whole it's a very low key, mind-your-own business culture but it has a small but vocal cohort of ultra-nationalists who are vocally opposed to Islamic faith symbols, people of colour, you-name-it.

If the shoe was on the other foot—and it was African or south Asian refugees moving to the Muslim countries these immigrants came from—it wouldn’t be a “small but vocal minority” of nationalists. The government would be moving them to a remote island, like Bangladesh is doing to the Rohingya: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/11/25/bangladesh-resumes.... They wouldn’t be allowed to teach kids—they’d be relegated to manual labor. In Saudi, for example, 90% of teachers in girl’s schools must be citizens, and it’s virtually impossible for non-Saudis to get citizenship.

The Dutch are just acting like normal people. It’s a small minority of people—mostly white Europeans—that actually seem to enjoy foreigners coming in and creating economic and cultural conflict and challenges.
> You really don't need good memory to be a programmer.

That’s not memory, that’s hard disk (or I guess SSD for you youngins’). You definitely need good memory to be a good programmer because large problems require a larger working set to efficiently reference whilst problem solving.

While many problems in computer science that can theoretically be solved with a small amount of memory and a large amount of slower disk, many of them cannot be solved in what we’d consider a reasonable amount of time.
The same thing can be said of the web in general. The linked article even makes this point! If in the early web users all wanted to run their own servers the centralization of web 2.0 would not have happened. Is there any reason to think that history won't repeat itself and users will choose to use web3 technologies the "right" way?
> That said I would normally read '[...]' as '[...]'

The problem is, once you deploy to production you have (hopefully) tested this case and rely on the actual implementation.
In the old days that wasn't a problem - when you released some OSS, you put a tarball somewhere and told people to download it. Some of those people were redistributors (mostly Linux distros or BSDs, but also CD vendors, people running FTP sites of neat things, etc.). Many of those redistributors, in turn, got their software to people from further redistributors (mirrors, people burning CDs and passing them around, etc. - up to even a decade ago I was both giving and receiving Ubuntu CDs). More people got your software from a redistributor than directly from you.

If you tried to "un-release" some OSS, not only would that not work, it would be abundantly clear to you that it wouldn't, and moreover that would be clear to you well before you even published the first version, so you wouldn't feel like you were tricked or didn't have the chance to think this through.

With the new world of GitHub and NPM and such and especially tools like Go that pull directly from GitHub, the role of the distributor is basically n more than the role of GeoCities: they provide hosting for you, but it's in your account. So you can take things out of GitHub and NPM just as easily as you can un-publish a web page. (In fact an analogy could be made here to blogs, where you can un-publish, vs. newsgroups/mailing lists, where you can't.) There could be mirrors, certainly, but there aren't necessarily mirrors, and the social norms on both ends are against them: you aren't explicitly asking people to mirror your code and distribute it independently from you, and other people may feel that it is rude/inappropriate to continue to distribute code that you've chosen to stop distributing.

There are certainly very strong advantages in scale of participation (and in the loss of a certain gatekeeping that could not scale) in this new world, but it does seem like it would be good to recapture this one feature of the old world.
>Should Jagex fold and the game become unplayable, what do you own? An entry in a database that says that you once had this item but you can't do anything with it? Why is that valuable?

Sometimes just ownership of something is valuable in itself. That's the whole idea of collectibles, it's not always tied to its original utility. Think having an original SNES versus an emulator on a computer or an original Picasso vs a digital jpeg copy.

>For one thing that puts a lot of work on the table of other game developers. If every NFT of every game needs to be usable in other games, can you imagine the headache? It's a combinatorial nightmare.

Every NFT of every game doesn't have to be usable in other games, but the option to easily access the in-game ownership records of another game can allow for some asset sharing.

>And then we haven't even touched on IP issues. If you have an NFT of Lara Croft, can the devs of another game just clone the model in order to let you import her?

No but maybe I can give a Croft-esque outfit to an in-game character if the player has the Lara Croft NFT. It could be a selling point to some players to be able to play with assets inspired by another game they love. It could also add some unrelated mechanic to a game in which case the NFT is just used as a marketing ploy to advertise to a certain demographic. Re-using NFTs could also be completely unrelated to 3rd parties and can allow developers to allow easy migration of old assets from old games to new ones without having to maintain teh records themselves.

>I feel like all of these issues by far dwarf whatever convenience NFTs bring to the table. The problems I outline above are the ones that need solving, and if you find a way around those you could very easily achieve what you want without "web3" tech (see Steam trading cards and Nintendo's Amiibos for instance).

Again, the idea is to have a digital asset that can be traded (in terms of ownership) like a physical asset would -- without the need for a centralized mediator. Just because certain applications typically act as centralized gateways doesn't mean the blockchain itself is centralized. The hope is for the blockchain to be used as a reliable source of information for decades to come with the ability for anyone to participate if given the very accessible minimum resource requirements.
I'm not, at least in the ARIN region. ARIN has gotten more picky about what transfers they allow so selling blocks to an ARIN member is more difficult. I figure RIPE will follow soon, though I hope the screeching owls on the Address Policy list who want to slam the door after the horse burned down the barn, by banning all transfers, lose out.

A former coworker is, for some reason, incredibly proud of our medium-sized medical group having a legacy block. He takes such a proprietary interest that he became a former coworker when he quit, among other reasons, after our board voted to give a /23 to another group in our industry.

I'm not quite old enough to have been able to get a free /24 with no recurring fees but I'll happily use the provider-independent /24 I got in the RIPE area some years ago. Only costs $150/year to my sponsoring LIR and they give me a /44 of IPv6 addresses included.
> This is not unique to crypto - see, for example, HTTP, or HDMI…

HTTP and HDMI provided actually useful things to regular people despite their shortcomings. Crypto has been solving technical problem after technical problem for over a decade but has yet to offer anything useful to a non-enthusiast.

> Another issue is that the goalpost is ever-shifting. We have truly distributed apps.

And the only thing they are useful for is moving crypto around between enthusiasts. "Make something useful for regular people" should not be difficult goalpost for something that claims to be world changing.
This is a very interesting project and I had a lot of fun playing with it.

A note though: all place names in Arabic are wrongly displayed.

Take Morocco for example. The Arabic name is المغرب.

It is wrongly displayed as something like ال م غ رب (letters are not attached together; I added zero-width space to force the letter to not be attached). And probably worse than that, the letters are displayed from left to right instead of right to left. You end up with something like ب رغ م ل ا.

This makes the native place names almost unreadable.

There probably is a similar directionality issue for other right-to-left languages (e.g. Hebrew), but I cannot read Hebrew enough to quickly check!

This post that deals with displaying Arabic appeared on HN some times ago and may be of help! [1]

It's not mostly that, there are many which change internal details of the algorithms (my post butchered the list of commits, I edited it and now they show up).

And a complete design specification can certainly address the practical details of integration into a kernel, the random number subsystem in Linux has just a small interface with the rest of the kernel that can easily be captured abstractly.

You're confusing Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ethereum is the platform that supports smart contracts. Bitcoins intent is to be a simple ossified protocol used as a store of value, akin to digital gold.

I upvoted you because you're clearly a fanatic in this space. (Hello!) However, I disagree. Viktor punches above his weight (we've gone a couple rounds).

I'm against CAs because they are fabrications who do a beauty show primarily for the browser makers, and everybody else has to deal with the fallout (eschewing political comparisons... deep breaths...); they also provide cover for "infrastructure vendors" who mint their own CAs.

They say that DNS encapsulates the two most difficult problems in data science: naming and cache expiry (I'd add delegation). So if we already have one global tribe attempting to solve this problem, how much of our attention budget do we really want to spend on people who have discovered this "new problem": CA chains: really?

There are (Derrida-not) misconfigurations which routinely happen (PeeWee Herman "I meant to do that") which clearly benefit from DNSSEC. Surely noone would configure their network to trust the name of, say a file server, which serves the executables for your short order diner. Dang. It's such a brilliant idea. Why doesn't it pan out? JasBug hasn't been solved, other than M$ saying "don't do that". What if the DNS solved it?

We're writing here for the public so yes, "CA chains" is technically inaccurate. I don't care.

No a link isn't a description of its content, just like the article demonstrated the content can change to anything, anytime, in many ways.

Openring – A webring for static site generators
Here are answers to your questions based on my own experience, followed by some questions for you. I have run two open source-based companies.

1. Does dual licensing work? YES. I used it in my previous company and it was very effective. We had GPL V2 licensed software that users could access and use. We had an enhanced version that was enterprise-licensed. We also confirmed that you can defend your rights legally.

2. Do companies pay? YES. The ones that have real money do. Those are the only kind you care about in business, because you aren't going to get money from the others anyway regardless of the license. It's far easier for them to pay a reasonable licensing fee and avoid future problems than to try to scam you.

3. Meta-question: when companies violate licenses, how often are they just bluffing? NOT RELEVANT. Your real problem is somebody trying to steal your business, not somebody using software in violation of the license. Think about models that make that hard to do. BTW you can go after them for copyleft license violations. Make sure you have the right license to prevent misbehavior. GPV V2 does not prevent someone from running a SaaS on your software.

Can you offer your software as a SaaS service with value added features? This is the best way to make money in B2B software and gives you protection against copycats. The usual model is to let people try out the open source version and then run a SaaS version that removes all the pain of operations.
I'm curious how long you've been dating your boyfriend. I've been with my girlfriend for a little under three years, and I think I would have felt much more pressure to attend to her like you're describing if we were only, say, a year in. (Although I don't actually know, because at that point we were in a long-distance relationship, so all the time we spent together in person was intensive relationship time.)

The other factor for me is that job searching is not like coding: it's a series of separate tasks/decisions/evaluations, rather than me trying to immerse myself in a problem or system, so interruptions or distractions aren't nearly as costly; I'm not going to go into flow state from job searching. And a lot of the difficulty comes from the emotional aspect, so I found having someone to talk/vent to about it very useful.
But whatever you use would still be easier to implement using traditional tech than web3, because the problems they solve are orthogonal.
No one listens to these 10k newly created nodes.
If they all add each other to listen to each other they essentially create a fork as soon as they divert somehow from the rest of the network and no one would care.
The attacker then has full control over the fork but again no one listens to it so its pointless.

You would need to convince a majority of nodes to listen to your nodes and stop listen to the nodes who dont listen to you. There is zero reason why anyone would do this. Even if you could bribe some to do it, it would likely never be close to 80% and it would be incredible hard to hide the attempt.

The number of nodes for each node to list to would need to drastically increase.
If we do the math with 10 nodes to gain 80% control you would need to add 40 nodes so there is a total of 50 nodes and you control 80% of them.
If you are one of the 10 nodes its obvious you would never add 40 new nodes in a short time. There is no benefit form adding many nodes anyway the goal is to have the most reliable and de-central nodes list possible not as many as possible.

> As much as I'd like to be more exact, we're stuck with a limited number of "flowlines" in our dataset and it will look for the closest one, which isn't always as close as we'd like.

If you've got the data for it, you could probably make an estimation to the nearest flow line based on topography, and maybe have a dashed line from the point to the flow line. Probably not totally accurate either, but might be more fun.

Cool project. Thanks for sharing.
You know it's supposed to have a certificate from Cloudflare, so, you can choose to trust that certificate (knowing it is correct for this purpose) or you can use tooling that doesn't care.

If you mean can you present it for general access by people on the Internet, no, not really, because the certificate aren't trusted, you would need a proxy layer.

How does this handle data schemas? Perhaps I’m thinking too much of an RDBMS schema but for Twitter for example. If decentra-Twitter stores my data in some schema (say a hard-coded “pinned tweet” column that only supports one) then is everyone else stuck with that forever? Or could they extend that to include, say, multiple pinned tweets?

What I'm saying is that today life expectancy of a 21 year old who is HIV-positive is only 9 years less than of a seronegative individual.
