I find that the services most vulnerable to sybil attacks are malicious ones funded by "growth and engagement" - see my comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29960340

If you charge for the service, a lot of attacks suddenly become pointless or unprofitable, implicitly mitigating the problem.
> Why do I need to provide a citation when your entire comment is itself a conjecture?

I did make an explicit conjecture that was based on hard facts but then you made a statement out of thin air with nothing to back it up.

> It's also a request made in bad faith because everything we know about that program is from the government which you clearly don't trust so any citation I offer will be striked down as "from the gov".

That's not what bad faith is. And then you're making a strawman about trust which I didn't even make or even mentionned.

Well, how are you computing it? Majority of looting was in retail businesses in lower Manhattan.

If you're computing overall number of businesses in New York then you're just being disingenuous. So you're counting retail stores in Staten island too? Are you including non retail businesses?

How about watch literally any video of the protests in Manhattan to see for yourself?

To say there wasn't widespread looting in Manhattan is just wrong, and easily disproven by the evidence.

#9 took me years to realize. Even more when you have an idea, share it, someone who’s not in the corner takes it and runs with it. That experience is even more isolating because the immediate reaction is to just not share any more ideas.

It took me even more years to master- because sure, not being in the corner is one thing, but getting out of it is another. It took a manager who listened to me and thrust me out to fix it.

See my edit. You're trying to use the definition of long term side effect to show that we need long term studies before we can deem things safe. But that doesn't follow. If the prevalence of some potentially chronic condition is low enough after a month to be safe, that it might be even safer doesn't really matter.

Right like to recap but remove the word "long term" entirely, you said that there might be issues that develop after years without warning. I said that no that's not possible, stuff can't develop suddenly after even just a month or so, because the mechanisms don't exist. You then cited an example of something that developed in under a month or two as a counterexample. When I put it that way, it's clear that it isn't actually a counterexample.

Manhattan was not "ransacked" last summer. You clearly don't live in one of these American cities. The overwhelming majority of the protests were peaceful [1].

Your claim that an attempted coup was somehow spurned by protests relating to the extrajudicial killing of black men is a rather bold one to make with absolutely no supplied evidence. I suppose finding cause in the drastic uptick of far-right violence [2] you have conveniently omitted, which would serve as a much better basis for the "broken window theory", is too easy of a conclusion to make. As is finding cause in the president quite literally inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol on the basis of false claims of election fraud. No, it's those protesters!

I can't speak for the OP but free trial period abuse is very common.

"Would have paid for the service" vs "Are actively working to use the service without paying for it" are two different things.

I worked for a company that had some free tools on the web, with no published API. Those tools were scraped well above the T&C limitations to be mined by other companies.

We had a "free forever" account that you could use to monitor a single domain. Within the user table there were multiple instances of 20 to 300 (worst case) myaccount+<domain>@mycompanydomain.com trying to abuse the single domain rule without paying for it. In one case, the results were being packaged up to be shown in somebody else's product.

I'm certainly not advocating for spam or selling data (the company I mentioned didn't do this either), but abuse it the more common use case that web businesses deal with. To combat abuse, 90% of the battle is to identify where the abuse is coming from first.
Good implementations of defer are scope-based, so those would be clean up at the end of the loop pretty explicitly.
I run into this often and share the same desire. I quite like Go, but unfortunately the interaction of "my interests" (such as the userspace library you suggested) and "things Go excels at" isn't very large.

I can't speak for Minneapolis, because I don't live there. But I'm actively invested, as a New Yorker, in dispelling myths about what it was like here.

As for whether things were "worse": I consider the political and cultural damage of storming our nation's Capitol worse than just about anything you can put a bill of damage on. You can't put that kind of cultural trespass back in the box the way you can with "ordinary" protests and riots.
EVE Online has highly sophisticated user fingerprinting to prevent fraud and real money trading. So even if you got through with that email address it wouldn't be long before an issue was raised for your account.

With EVE, fraud comes in many ways and most would presume credit card fraud but because you can earn ISK in-game, which can be converted/sold for PLEX (their game-time subscription currency, worth real $) many items (Capital Ships, High Experience Characters, Corporations) are bought and sold for real money outside of the platform - which in some cases, is revenue that EVE would/could benefit from if PLEX was purchased from them directly and used legitimately instead.

So aside from basic things like blocking utility email addresses, they have sophisticated algorithms that monitor user accounts for unusual activity. The definition of unusual is constantly growing/changing and it is monitored and managed by a dedicated "security" team.

What do you mean by 'skyrocketing?'

Does that mean 'consistently lowering over the last 10-20 years and now significantly lower than it was 20 years ago?' Because that's a pretty odd definition.

Odder still - while CA homicide rates have increased in 2020-2021, they have done so by a percentage LOWER than the national average. So basically, CA is safer and has lower homicide rates than the national average and your suggestion is to change leadership to be more like the rest of the country?

I don't like that open chat protocols have taken so long to get adoption either, but coercing an organizational structure seems like the best way to keep the status quo.

Imo, good standards have been tried and proven in a "many-degrees-of-freedom manner" before being accepted, such as a major OSS project with thousands of active users, which matrix is doing now. Design by comittee has a terrible track record.
There are lots of laws like that. Yesterday, I went to a pizza restaurant. It was myself and another person waiting in the restaurant. A person walks in with a large pitbull.

Immediately the other person ran to the opposite corner and asked the person with the dog to wait outside the restaurant because they had been a victim of a pitbull attack. And, of course, the person with the dog pulled the service dog card.

At this point, the business owner can do nothing. Once someone says a dog is a service dog, no one can ask them to leave until after the dog causes damage, per the ADA.

The person in the restaurant with the dog immediately claimed they forgot the vest that says their dog is a service animal. This tells me the dog was definitely not a service animal, because anyone who actually needs one knows that no proof is required.

Anyway, my point is the laws in the US right now let any dog owner walk around with impunity and impose dogs on people who do not want to be around dogs. Which means I have to modify my behavior with my toddlers and leave places where any random person can bring a Rottweiler or pitbull.

Edit: In the dog situation, you can even go further and see that NY state just forced owners of less dangerous and aggressive breeds to subsidize owners of more dangerous and aggressive breeds. Why would the government need to get involved in subsidizing risks of various dog breeds?

Adding different kinds of measurements of size doesn't particularly increase the difficulty of tracking it here, just adds some more fields to the metadata and maybe some additional events.

To take an example of size data types from another thread, let's imagine you want to track 2 kinds of size: size as read sequentially (A) and size gained if deleted (B). The first cares about links but the second does not. Every folder would track the size of sub-directories by listening for size calculation events firing on the contained files and folders. A lowest level folder would listen to the events of all its files and update it's own size metadata, this triggers another event that any parent folder is listening to, repeat. A link would just listen to the event of its linked file or folder and would only indicate size updates as relevant to the size data type A. This information gets propagated upwards normal.

As you say, there's a lot of details here but I'm not coming up with any blockers that would invalidate the pattern. It's a very flexible system and I've written this sort of propagating update before with future features all being simple to add. If you can think of any blockers I would be very happy to hear them so I can design around it next time I touch a project like this.

But that’s the thing. The street’s utility is exclusively to the houses that are on it. Those houses are very unlikely to be paying enough property tax to cover its existence. This luxury of yours is paid for by other people’s productive activity in the future. Great deal for you! But we the (net) taxpayers ought to think about how many more of these sweetheart deals we offer to cul de sac homeowners in the future, before we bankrupt ourselves.

I’m not a libertarian, I think it’s fine for government to tap rich people to provide nice things for everyone, but this particular nice thing (way more roadway than you pay for) has a pretty bad cost:benefit, and its beneficiaries are not exactly the neediest or most deserving of aid.
> You are not your code…

As simple and important as this is for productive code reviews, I observed in my experience that it’s not as common a trait as one expects it to be. I can maybe attribute it to the stigma that is more deep rooted. In setups where rigorous code reviews are not norm, I notice, many if not most people, take the comments on their code as comments on self.
Given how rampant this is at several workplaces, what ways/processes can be recommended to be adopted in such setups to have more productive, open and meaningful reviews and ease breaking the stigmas associated?
Anyway, in answer to your question on whether I am sure CBD helps: No.

I read one good-quality paper that reported an effect, and suggested plausible mechanisms. But the authors cautioned it needed more work before it could be recommended clinically. In particular, there was no hint it might prevent infection, or be useful to treat mild cases. The perhaps surprising bit was that THC interfered with the effect of the CBD.

The US NIH says that fluvoxamine is useful to treat serious cases. Any doctor can prescribe that.
> US is one of the richest countries, has less poor people than other rich countries, the "poor" in the US are richer than the "poor" in e.g. UK or Italy,

Certain structural factors matter a lot:

How affordable is it to get decent healthcare?

How affordable is it to get decent food?

Is drug use criminalized?

Is there a high rate of violent crime?

Do people own their own homes?

Are there informal social relations that act as social safety nets?

A relatively poor country that nevertheless answers those questions correctly will likely provide a better life even to its poor.
> You're trying to use the definition of long term side effect to show that we need long term studies before we can deem things safe.

This is not my position and I have made no such statements.

You are unfortunately projecting an argument onto me.

> But that doesn't follow.

Quite!

> you said that there might be issues that develop after years without warning

I absolutely did not -- maybe you have me mistaken with someone else you are currently discussing with.
The classic argument is that by the time the 'bad' list is implemented, it's already too late.

The prevailing mentality up until recent times has been to prevent any list being created in the first place, as this guaranteed protection against abuse.

"Over the years, there's something all those people seem to have in common - they are stuck in an endless loop of making mistakes and refusing to learn from them."

In the context I'm thinking of, I have fairly sizable arrays -- up to 512 bytes; usually, only the first few bytes are used (for state tracking); an `int` tells me the high-water mark so the data is only read after being written. The amount of work int the loop is (in almost all cases) only 5 or 6 instructions before termination. Initializing 512 bytes is best case 8 ops, which is >100% overhead. The code is recursive, but bounded to a depth of 8, wity internal linkage (only two `int`s and a pointer are passed) in the tail call position, so the calling convention is just three registers. Even a compiler like q9x, or clang with no opts, produces excellent code. But, even a sniff of initialization tanks perf to the tune of 3x.

450 businesses is about 1.4% of NYC's retail businesses. According to the state, "In 2019, New York City’s retail sector comprised 32,600 businesses" [0]. That's enough to be noticable, but I wouldn't describe it as a huge percentage. Per my understanding, most of the thefts occured at high-end retail in Lower Manhattan. Is that what you saw?

I haven’t heard of any investigation, much less charges leveled, of people who protested but did not enter the Capitol.

People who might know of / ultimately be charged with incitement have been subpoenaed, but again, I don’t know of any charges. Anyone pressing such charges will have to show a clear line between first amendment speech and not, so they are going to be careful not to waste their time.
Don't they kind of do that at larger organizations with EDI? Or is it still nonstandard between organizations?
What makes you say that? He weighed 45kg at 17 despite the appetite. (Unless you're using an annoyingly rigid definition of 'starving' I suppose, that precludes just about anyone in any developed country experiencing it; in which case yes, fine, true, not the point.)
Somehow he was noticeably underweight despite eating prodigious amounts regularly. Who's to say he wasn't experiencing the physical and mental symptoms of starvation?
This: https://www.osc.state.ny.us/reports/osdc/retail-sector-new-y... suggests that there are more than 36,000 retail stores in NYC.

450/36000 == 1.3% of retail businesses were "vandalized and in some cases looted", phrasing which suggests rather less than that were actually looted.

The suggestion that "Huge percentage of stores were vandalized and had their goods stolen" seems absurdly hyperbolic given these numbers.

edit: corrected accidental use of state wide number
It's hardly a salient detail when we're talking about... checks notes thousands of distinct software projects with their own unique leadership models. Much like the parent said, there are indeed pretty notoriously ignorant dev teams out there like the GNOME and Flatpak maintainers, but they're more the exception than the rule. By and large, I'd argue that the Linux community gets stuff right more often than Microsoft does these days, and probably Apple too (though their software these days isn't exactly a high bar).
The whole notion that it's even possible to credibly measure property crime in a place like LA is farcical even absent the institutional corruption and incompetence of the LAPD.

The numbers are political fiction.
Retail and supply chain theft will always be a cat and mouse game.

This is not an issue for which society/government should pay the cost to fix it (which you seem to imply by saying the markets have no options).
