Tried getting some answers on their site and older HN post (did not spend too much time doing so), but I failed to find answers to couple of questions, few being:

* What transport does this network use for the IPv6 overlay network? (6in4 encapsulation, IPSec... this probably opens a number of other questions)

* I saw some notes about "hosting your own website" while reading about this project, does it allow for any YG node/network (from 200::/7) to be reachable from Internet? (I know 200::/7 will not be reachable directly, and I believe the answer is obvious NO, but then I am puzzled why is there a mention of hosting your own website like back in the day when it's only available on YG network).

* Is there a large performance hit when a node with IPv6 X, moves across the world (say my laptop when I travel), and it changes it's place in the topology? I will assume it only requires new DHT discovery and that the rest mostly depends on actual Internet lacentcy between end nodes + some overhead. (question is meant to be about the risk of overlay topology not converging when underlay changes, possibly causing packets to go around the world few times).

So what exactly seems inauthentic about the top story on the forum? Who would make that up and why?

"It's the internet lol everything is made up" is, frankly, a bit edgelord as a rationale.

If you want made up look at the vote counts for any picture with a coke bottle or a UPS truck in it.
This only holds if hospitalization is the only thing to be concerned about and in my opinion is just as misleading as focusing solely on death rate. I am much more concerned about long term effects of an infection, even if asymptomatic (which by definition doesn't lead to hospitalization), specifically on stamina/concentration.
US data is unfortunately unusable. Hospitals routinely classify anyone they don't have data on as unvaccinated and they don't have data much of the time. Germany pulls the same trick, it was covered in a national newspaper and they didn't change it. Public health is utterly corrupt, you have to work very hard to find data that is slightly less corrupted than normal.

In the UK data quality is better than normal for some reason, perhaps due to the nationalized healthcare system making it easier to set consistent standards. And there the majority of COVID patients in hospital are vaccinated according to the ICNARC audits. It's not a big majority but it's there, and this is not confounder/game-playing free data either. They keep classifying people as unvaccinated for quite some time after their first shot for example, which is problematic because there's some evidence people are more likely to get infected immediately after their first dose. But that gets added to the unvaccinated side of the ledger. There are other problems e.g. people have to go to hospital to be hospitalized, but they tell vaccinated people they're protected from hospitalization, then declare victory when those people don't turn up. Given how marginal many cases are (they may or may not really need to be there but you can't know what would have happened in the alternative case), this is a form of circular reasoning.

Nonetheless it'd be weird if the USA and Germany were radically different to the UK in this regard.
I really don’t think it is fair to blame it on Java. Having very little native dependency is a huge plus to an ecosystem (just look at what Java will be able to do with Loom thanks to the almost all-Java dependencies). Also, Java was particularly keen on downloading class files at runtime, so linking everything was not even possible.

And it is not even a difficult thing to fix without going the linker way: java’s modules essentially solve it (as well as javascript modules could/can) — just specify what is visible outside a package and both ecosystems can “tree-shake” non-used code (though I dislike this nonstandard term)
With humidifier - I have a Sharp KC F-32. That was the cheapest thing with humidifier that was available in stores locally. Large filters. Decent airflow. Silent mode that is really silent. Simple humidifier that I think works well. "Auto mode" that works harder when the device has water AND it's below 50% humidity. A nice basic setup.

It takes some effort to keep the water "filter" (it's actually a saw-shaped element that just absorbs water like a sponge to make it easier to evaporate) clean. Especially that Sharp claims it should be used with plane water, not distilled water. I don't buy new ones that often as it's somewhat pricey, but clean them once in a while with warm water with lemon (that domestic, citric acid used commonly for food) and make sure it's not wet when not used.

The actual filters (carbon and hepa) are very easy to clean and I have not had to replace them yet, so don't worry about costs of those.
Lots of weasel words here and you don't answer directly.

It still seems to me that a Deno script running with necessary permissions will be a huge hurdle compared to running a Node script which by default has al permissions.

Edit : Also I'm seriously fed up with tech community cr#pping at everything good because it isn't perfect.

Today with Node any random package can download any DLL as long as it is novel enough to pass antivirus (hint: last I checked a 17 year old could make a trojan that flew straight past, no questions asked.)

Even Node is usable with the right precautions.

But trying to get people away from thinking about Deno is not ok.
pseudonymity != anonymity, and, it's not too important to me, it may provide some plausible deniability in non-serious situations, other than that, I just like my nick name, and it makes me feel like part of the Internet (notice that oldskool capital i) culture.
Most of the US is to the south of my country. I guess that the closer to the equator you are, the less sense it makes.

But also in the Netherlands, there are many people who want to abolish it.

In my view, they're only thinking of the weekends when the switch is made. At that time, it doesn't seem to make a huge difference, and the switch is annoying, it takes some days to get into the new rhythm.

But ask them, at the start of summer you have X hours of sunlight -- what times during the day would you like them to fall? And the same question for the darkest months of winter. I wouldn't be surprised if it needed a switch of two whole timezones to make both answers true.
To quote Ray, this is through US colored glasses advice. How would a developer from, let's say, Middle East find good clients? If they only walk and take down notes of business in their area, they will only get jobs that pays according to local wages, none of them would be even $25/h let alone the dream of $150/h like US freelancers.

Yeah, Upwork will "mandate that you keep an app running that randomly takes screenshots of your desktop" but for me, an East European freelancer, was the only way to find clients from US/Canada with which I developed long term relationship.

Perhaps instead of fully vilifying platforms with "Beware of Freelance Platforms, They Are Evil", the author might want to walk a mile in our, less fortunate ones from shitty countries, shoes. My 2 cents.
How resistant to MITM is it though?

Currently, verification seems to work on a session basis and not just per user, which makes it very tedious to have everything verified e.g. a group chat. If it is not almost impossible given peoples sessions change with time.

Add a new session in the browser -> meet every contact to verify their sessions with your new browser session?
Doesn't seem very practical, and reminds me of the old times in [matrix].

This opens room for MITM attacks
But rats and cows don't know that.
What's the difference between the two? Especially when the product in question requires the co-ordination of 10s (probably 100s) of thousands of engineers, designers, and operatives, as well as a mass-market able to make the initial investment worth it.
>the way the Swiss pronounce Basel

You may have been making a veiled reference to the fact that the Swiss pronounce it three different ways themselves, but just in case you weren't:

https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g188049-i752-k284241...

>The locals say without any doubt "Basel" with a long "a". So do the germans.

>So, in american it is something like "Baahsel"

>Some english folks pronounce it "Baahl", so do the french, who write it "Bâle".

>In italian, by the way, it is "Basilea".
> the idea of skins portable between games being controlled by an NFT is absolutely technically possible, it's actually the business side that isn't probable

If the business side was probable, why would you need NFTs to implement that?
Do you have a list of recent examples of this where it is clearly true or is this just you assuming that something being on the internet means it's made up?

Coz Im struggling to see how you could believe that the 99% of overwhelmingly mundane stories about e.g. giving notice or how to deal with health and safety issues at work would become grist for creative writing.

It makes zero sense.

I would caution against overemphasizing the science - it's a great idea but in practice can lead to nitpicking and bikeshedding. It's mostly because the science isn't as precise as we would like it to be. There are very few things that we know well - exercise is good for you, you should drink plenty of water, resistence training has many benefits, cardio has some benefits too, you shouldn't eat too much sugar - high level stuff like that.

I would suggest picking something that's generally accepted and try it out for a while - if you're going to the gym, learn (with a coach or by yourself) how to do stuff like squat, deadlift, press, bench press and pull-ups and pick a simple program that focuses on getting stronger in these movements.

The book Starting Strength covers this in more detail but you can find articles and videos that summarize it if you don't want to read a book; or you can pick some other program like one of the stronglifts.com progressions - the details of the program don't matter as much as focusing on these main movements and being on a program where you make progress by increasing the weight you lift over time.

It is an internal function though. It is just marked as "reserved for internal use".
I don't disagree but can't you say the same thing about expensive art in general? I mean is any painting really worth $100m? At one point it's not about the painting, it's about being able to splash a lot of money at something expensive when you already own everything other expensive thing you could splash money at.

That's why I always thought comparing crypto to currency, financial investments or gold is the wrong analogy. To me it is more akin to the art market.
I don't know how it is in the US, but in France, yes, most gas stations are owned by adjacent stores and they make really little margins (actually, there are frequent sales of gasoline at cost price).

In fact, when buying gasoline in those stations, it's common to receive some voucher for the owner's store.

Other stations are owned by petrol corporations but they are in direct competition when they are near stores or they are very expensive when they are located on our highways, which are privatized(and it's a shame), so they are in some sort of closed market since you cannot leave the highway without paying.
I get the impression that GNU Make is a fairly hard program to update - to the best of my knowledge it still can't handle filenames with spaces in them, for example. So for me it's a lot like a lot of GNU projects - great idea, but a little bit long in the tooth and unlikely to substantially improve at this point.
This has nothing to do with C#. The javadoc for this exact problem would have been identical
It was only the first reasonably portable computer that did not have an astronomical price, so it was accessible for many people.

The first reasonably portable computer was the GRiD Compass "briefcase computer" (i.e. that could be carried inside a briefcase; the word laptop was coined later), which was introduced in April 1982.

GRiD Compass was the first portable computer made in the clamshell format now used by any laptop and the first portable computer with a flat display instead of a CRT (it had an electroluminescent display).

GRiD Compass looked like a modern laptop (unlike all the previous portable computers, which were large boxes with handles, usually compared with portable sewing machines), but it did not have an internal battery, it had to be used with an external power inverter where mains power was not available.

It used an Intel 8086 CPU, but it was not compatible with the IBM PC, as it had different peripherals.

Because it was extremely expensive, it was typically used by customers with deep pockets, e.g. the NASA Space Shuttle and special missions of the US military or CIA.
That's even worse...
Reading this comment and opening the video, for the first 30 seconds I thought this was some real island that some rich fanatic bought and tried to resell to crypto folks.

Turns out, it's just a plain old scam.

Only if you define "neighbour" to mean literally anyone, which isn't what it means.

gjsman is using the word neighbour correctly to mean someone who physically lives next to you, which is dystopian because it effectively extends the power of law enforcement inside the walls of everyone's homes to criminalize normal pro-social behaviour, and does so by manipulating and exploiting the bonds that form robust communities. It's very different to seeing someone break into a shop on the street and reporting it.
> I have a mailing list for people who use my code, when an update is out they can download the .php files, 'require' them and test them before deployment, but never will I do packages.

This offers no benefit in terms of security, over a package dependency locked at a specific version.

The end result is the same: the user ends up downloading the .php files, and testing them in deployment, but through composer instead of curl.

It doesn't contribute to security at all, it just makes it awkward for other people to use your code.

I would also assume that people are connecting your library to a package management system anyway, to overcome this unnecessary hurdle e.g. https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#loading-a-pac...
For one thing (for me, at least): The keyboard.

I have yet to see a good keyboard on a modern laptop, and I use a lot of different ones. Some people do not care, but I do. There's some keyboards that are "still decent", but all of them are progressively getting worse. Well, they say that Mac keyboards are getting better again, but I don't like their zero-keytravel style in the first place, not even in the ones that were considered good.

Thinkpad T400 roundabout was a good keyboard in my view.
> to quit when behind

As you mention, he's recognized for his refusal to give up on trying to win even in apparently dead draw positions, usually endgames, but I'd say other players (e.g. Karjakin) are considered better at defending tough positions.
The big difference up to now has been that US hospitals have been run by a huge layer cake of administrators for a long time, while in other western countries healthcare workers have had much more direct control over how things are run.

This is changing fast though, and Europe is migrating to the US model at a rapid pace, with growing administrative layer and loss of control over prices. Interestingly, european politicians are also telling everyone that the problem is that docs earn too much and people tend to believe them.

10 years used laptops are wonky. Maybe nice DIY project but definitely not as main workstation for travels. And if you want multiple 4k screens or newer peripherals...

My current setup is Dell XPS 13 from 2015 and portable Deskmini PC with Ryzen 7 5700g. This laptop is pretty hackeable ultrabook, over years I replaced chassis, keyboard and some ports. But it has only 16GB RAM and supports only 1x4k@30Hz, so it will be soon replaced by Framework laptop (64GB RAM, 4x4k screens).

And Deskmini is tiny 2kg PC with great desktop CPU. I found all high end laptops to be rather expensive and with insufficient cooling for constant load. With this I can have proper desktop performance in laptop sized package.

So my final setup will be two computers, with 12 cores and 128GB RAM and weight of only 5KG. I can use 7x4K screens and have total 20 TB of integrated storage. All cheap hardware with no crazy hacks.
We have started using OnDMARC recently https://redsift.com/products/ondmarc which is unfortunately a subscription service, but does add value to us through their "Dynamic DMARC" and other email health goodies, not only reporting.
> Why didn't they take it or investigate and challenge the notice?

Because they would lose their safe harbor protection under the DMCA, and could be sued directly by the rights holder. And because this work probably is in violation of the anti circumvention portion of the DMCA, so a lawsuit could be very expensive
I was saying it long before hearing anything about the inventor.

When you say 'no prompting', you mean just finding it in text with no context? Hell if I know whether people blindly guess it's like "give" or "gin" but neither one seems super obvious over the other unless you treat it like it's derived from the word "gift".

If you say it in front of someone and they possibly correct you, I don't know why the techy version would differ from the average person version.
I agree that the DCOM interface by IBM (20 years ago?) was just as bad... but if the source does not provide any documentation how can you be more clearer if you open it up in another language?
NFTs remind me of those websites that let you "buy a piece of the moon."

Sure, you just spent $x on a certificate that says you "own" a grid reference on the moon, but don't for one second think you actually own that piece of the moon.
Does the external GPU works alright? I have a T530 with a NVidia that I use dual monitor. But it's old, and Blender doesn't use it for rendering. Been thinking about one of these little egpu adapters, but don't know anyone that used it actually.
Even worse, the blockchain can't really be accessed decentrally, at least not in most cases and this will possibly worsen as time goes on. https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html
They can't just walk, Upwork will go after them. 12k is an amount that is worth sending at least a few strongly worded legaleze letters by UW's legal dept.
Essentially in this situation OP just owes 12k to Upwork. As much as it's a shitty situation, it's a debt. You can't just walk.
Except most probably that license itself and rules regarding it's usage are stored in a centralized way somewhere. Simply because NFT can't store anything this big inside, not even a sufficiently long text only file. The tech doesn't allow this.
1.5 years ago I went ahead and upgraded my retired workplace laptop, a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook E743 from 2014:

- bigger 500 GB SSD, resized system partition (no re-install necessary)

- replaced the dual core CPU with a quad core model (Intel Core i7-3612QM, 35W)

- replaced its really crappy keyboard with a backlit one from a later model that fitted

https://www.facebook.com/gernot.kieseritzky/posts/1022366591...

All in all the upgrade cost me about €200 (about US$230) and the laptop is still up and running, used daily for home office and private stuff (including streaming of retro games on Twitch). Replacement batteries are easy to come by but we still had some unused spares at my workplace.

Unlike the Thinkpads these laptops are kind of an underdog when it comes to its modding community. But these things are actually quite hackable. I wonder if I could have even tried to plug in a 45W model of the same CPU mentioned in TFA to get even more processing power and maybe modded the cooler that is a bit too loud for my taste.
TideLift is sort of like this? No dual licensing, but they do consolidate having to manage all the subscriptions into one subscription by working with all the maintainers.

No idea if they're successful or not. Or if they're successful on behalf of their maintainers either.
> This year I'm also going to be working on account access delegation for XMPP as part of a funded project, resulting in implementation in Prosody (server software) and publishing/updating related standards.

So that I can do something along the lines of "Log in with XMPP" and then my client asks me "hey do you wanna allow movim.eu to access foo/do bar on your behalf" ?

That sounds very useful. Sharing my password like this does not seem a great idea.
It still would be nice if Matrix was built upon the existing Internet Standard for instant messaging.
There is, it's called "params" [0], and it has been there since C# 1.0. But the link is about the Excel's interop, and that thing originally dates back to, I don't know, 1993 or somewhen around that time? It never was dropped/redesigned due to backward compatibility, so the latter improvements were simply bolted on top of it.

Why would fact checking have an influence on lobbying? Everyone knows what is going on. It isn't like the politicians, lobbyists, technical experts or public are in the dark about what is happening.

If anything, a fact checking organisation has incentives to align with or even become a lobby group. We've seen what happens to "fact checking" in the political sphere.

Lithuania pays Guantánamo forever prisoner Abu Zubaydah €100000 over CIA torture
The total cost of ownership for an EV is still pathetic in a certain sense if I need to allot even 10 extra minutes waiting for a charge somewhere on a weekly basis. Especially a small business owner like Joe Plumber -- that's around 10k in lost job time over the life of the vehicle. If I'm well-off with thousands of watts wired to my garage then great but that's not so many people especially in denser cities as well as plenty of business fleets.

It's like the reverse of switching from coal to natural gas heating. Coal required delivering and shoveling a bunch of dirty fuel and ash around frequently, which was a waste of time, so the switch to gas was welcomed as time-saving and much much cleaner. EVs are so much cleaner and quieter than ICE but the convenience factor is not solved yet
You know there is something wrong with currency when people loan it to spend it...

Same goes with NFTs that are bought to flip them... Ofc, in that market selling them initially by mass automatic generation makes sense. After all that non-fungible part is tad hard... But really doesn't matter once you automate generation.
