Pardon my ignorance but in what way are EU citizens dependent on US DNS infrastructure prior to the introduction to this? And how does this infrastructure remove that dependence?
Gamification doesn't have to be ranking. You can gamify individuals improving their own metrics. Like github showing you your contribution "streak" (number of days in a row with a commit).

Software development lacks good metrics, though.
Basic income works from parents to children, for example trust funds. Sometimes it’s expanded to families, for example emirates in UAE. The next level is small countries with large sovereign wealth funds. Of course family seems to lose its meaning once you have 7 billion family members.

I genuinely can't tell if this is an April Fool's joke that the gnu project forgot to take down, or a serious project.

I use non-iso8859 characters on a regular basis, so this editor is completely useless to me.

>We all have the right to be taught exactly one language that gives full access to the whole human culture and allows each of us to communicate with everybody else.

This makes even the most deranged conspiracy theorist sound lucid.

Edit: tried downloading it; the source tarball is compressed with lzip (instead of the more common gz/bzp2/xz) formats. Lzip is not installed by default on my machine, unlike literally every other decompressor.

This whole thing seems like an act of defiance purely for the sake of defiance.
As long as they remain alternatives, it is okay. But given that this is the EU, it won't be optional for very long.
Maybe someone more knowledgable can provide some insight here? The problem seems to revolve around transmission of PII:

"Based on this data, Google was able to deduce who he or she was."

Presumably the PII didn't come from the data transmitted to GA by the site, more that GA was able to cross-reference the client ID from the cookie and determine the identity of the user.

So if one was to disable GA cookies and/or override the client ID being sent from one's own site, would that be a workaround?
> "git is complex"

Because it is.

> "git command line is confusing me"

Because it does.

Life being easier... maybe, I'm sure it would be for most projects. For some where git is required, likely not. I'd reckon MOST projects don't really need a DVCS; they have the much easier mental model and work quite well with a centralized "source of truth" that people can take from or give code to (coughgithubcough)
That's not strictly true - or at least - it's missing a piece.

When a company decides to use a product, it needs to ensure that product is legal to use in their jurisdiction(s).

If it gets to a court, it's likely that the consumer/client is the claimant and the Company who chose to use US Product X is the defendant. The company who makes US Product X is likely nowhere to be seen.
Definitely not everyone, and you might be right based on actual number of websites, but the zeitgeist definitely moved to Rails and Django for a while.
I would have thought all of the tech companies talk about internet balloons, blimps, … would be used to demonstrate their value during natural disasters. Guess that was all only hype to run google ads and Facebook?
He's referring to the fact that with ECDSA signatures, if the randomness is bad on a single signature (i.e. you know the "k" value in the signature) then that is sufficient to reveal the private key used in making the signature. Similarly, if two signatures are made with the same nonce and private key, you can reveal the nonce and thus the private key. The maths is actually explained on the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital_Signatu...

I'm a self-taught programmer who recently decided to finish my bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I'll be finishing in a month or so, and I'm trying to do some planning in advance.

I guess what I'm asking is: If you were fresh out of college, how would *you* go about getting a job?

If anyone is curious about the weird graduation time, I go to wgu.edu, and they let you accelerate through the classes as fast as you can go. I recommend it.

This is what makes OpenGOAL and video game archeology so mission critical. It isn't just preservation of digital culture. I think there are real insights to be gained.

Next step is to make a cookbook of classical Game AI techniques (monte carlo tree search, goal oriented action planning) in GOAL. Then it becomes a package anyone can use, like PhysX and RAD tools ;)

Are you claiming that Egypt is exercising control over Palestine's coastal waters, or airspace?
Polls of the “US Jewish community” tend to really be polls of people who read Israeli newspapers that do US polling. There’s a manifest bias in that.

Here’s the source I usually use[1]: 45% of American Jews consider Israel essential to them. Another disjoint minority consider it “important but not essential.” Neither of these imply support for the Israeli state, and neither separates the importance of Israel qua state or political institution from Israel qua the family our loved ones of the people being polled.

For SOME projects, that rely on a truly distributed model.

Most don't.

Most at GITHUB don't. It's why they use github.
This is only sort of a half-truth though. The SCC's are created by the European Data Protection Board, and it works for transfers to third countries because the companies legally say "ok we won't do anything shady with your data" - but you have to actually prove that they can't be compelled to do anything shady under local law - which you can in the US.

So the SCC's are a perfectly fine tool, but you just need more than that.
Never heard of Carp, looks cool!
I've had an adage that I remind myself of occasionally: "It's OK to struggle, as long as you do struggle."

This can apply to losing weight, balancing work/life, making time to read, etc. I think it's a good balance between "It's not OK to struggle, and you need to be perfect every time." and "It's not OK to struggle (ever), and you just need to accept that you can't do it.". This article (and others I've seen like it) seems to fully embrace the very bottom end of that scale.
The writing for this article is strikingly bad. Presumably it was produced with the VR headset. Does that tell us anything?
The world's largest bureaucracy (EU) will continue with its bullying of everyone with different opinions. In a worst case scenario, this won't be optional, and they will cancel everyone with different opinions, like Hungary and Poland.
>If you loose bitwarden keys what will they do to recover data?

They cannot. That's closely related to why it is so secure, and why they can never see you data. That's why I use it.

It's sometimes called "zero knowledge".

> 1Password has been audited and has been an industry standard for a while.

MSFT products were also audited, and much used, and very insecure. Also 1Pass may be subpoena'd into sharing your data. I do not trust 1Pass, but you do you and feel free to do trust them :)
Oh, it seems they raised their prices. I think I'm still on the old plan, cause I pay $48/year.

Still, it looks like the cheapest option out there. Matomo costs €19/month, Fathom - $14/month (or $140/year), Piwik Pro has a free option, but they're very enterprise oriented, not sure if they're good for small sites
I agree, this is the sort of statement that should be backed up by... something.

But we do use Bitwarden where I work (large enterprise software vendor). Adoption is not consistent, but it's the IT supported solution here.
Again, not disputing the history. Nevertheless, drawing a comparison to showcase the irony. Especially as the situation in Gaza and West Bank has been ongoing across multiple generations. Forgive the simplistic, cheeky remarks about not having enough time for elections. That's meant, once again, to draw attention to the length of time that Palestinians have endured this onslaught.

Go back to the beginning of Israel, check the terrorist activities of jewish groups. Ongoing settlements, landgrab, indiscriminate retaliatory measures--military or otherwise systemic in nature. Yet time and time again, no measure of accountability for a regional superpower.
It's hundred of miles from everywhere, you'd need an awful lot of equipment serving empty ocean.

This is true - but courts have been going in this direction for a while now, and noyb has filed 100+ similar suits. Expect most of the legal landscape to agree with this in the not-so-distant future.
Pleasantly surprised to see this degree of nuance in top level comments.

I do find it very alarming that they want to bake in "lawful filtering" and especially alarming that they want to bring in "premium and wholesale services."

In the best case scenario, if EU had a record of reasonable enforcement or ahead-of-the-curve thinking this might be okay, I don't think there's anything suggesting that the EU is thinking ahead or capable of imagining unintended downstream consequences.

I think more DNS is better, which is good, but its balanced with some concern.
I don’t see how a year of arrests and no charges is even slightly defensible. We aren’t talking about bail reform here. We’re talking about are we going to do anything at all?
Honestly? Move to the US if you want to be a libertarian. You'll be happier.
He's saying you can derive the private key from a single signature made using a known nonce value (the "bad random"). You can also derive the private key from two signatures made using the same nonce value. In both cases the solution just requires trivial algebra.

That's what we did to get the PS3 signing keys. Accidentally became a bit of a citation in the ECDSA world for that one too; who knew Sony would unwittingly earn the title of "canonical example of how to screw up ECDSA in a consumer product"? :-)

It's also how lots of Bitcoin have been taken away when transactions are signed using broken random number generators. These days people are running bots to spot those keypairs and automatically take the bitcoin.
In every way. The US controls the TLDs and many of the core resolvers.
He did not (he even said they've recovered 10,000+ private keys!). If a nonce is reused across different signatures or just known because randomness is bad, one can compromise the private key used in making the signature.
The bail requirement was dropped for motor vehicle theft. The article about increased crime is about carjacking. These are not the same crimes, and carjacking is far more severe. The new bail policies did not apply to carjacking.

Further, your article about "mostly teen" offenders explains in great detail that that statistic should not be taken at face value. Since such a small percentage (10-15%) of carjackers are caught, there is a likely skew to younger, less sophisticated criminals.

Far from proving your point, you demonstrate crime is rising in the baseline, unchanged, crimes. Therefore, you raise the amount of crime needed for the cash bailless crimes to be attributable to that factor and not larger social changes.
I maybe in the minority here, but I believe that this is not good for the average European and definitely not good for the European tech scene. Europe is already a more complicated place to launch a new company as you have to support multiple languages, countries etc. just to get to the potential market size you have in the US. Strict regulations are that are complicated to implement means that more new companies will choose to launch and build themselves up in the US first. By the time they come to Europe they will already be big and established and can afford to implement the complicated infrastructure that is necessary to support cross continent data storage (or ignore the regulation and pay the fines) while eating up all the small startups that were trying to capture the EU market while dealing with masses amounts of regulation and red tape.

Now to be very clear! I am not against most of GDPR. But some of the interpretations of it have gone too far and it will hurt Europeans in the long run.

This is actually one of the best things that can happen to companies like google and Microsoft as they can afford to develop the infrastructure to support easy geo based cross continent data storage - and they can then sell it as part of their cloud offerings.
That's just one of many Japanese xenophobic myths. Like they're saying the Yakuza only recruits Korean-Japanese people. Or whenever you tell a Japanese person you saw someone behaving badly in Japan, their first reaction will be "he / she was Korean / Chinese". Not "probably", they pretend they know.
The world knows too little how brainwashed the Japanese public is.
Saying CSW represents the cryptocurrency enthusiasts seems wrong.
Then the EU shouldn't invest any money. Cause if you can't improve the situation, stop wasting money on it.
Reference please.
The US doesn't control the national TLDs nor the .eu TLD in any way. The core resolvers can be replaced at a moment's notice in case of problems.
I only get a trickle of this type of spam, but I think that makes it more annoying? In the last six months it seems worse, multiple “just checking one more time” messages for positions that have literally zero overlap with my experience or interests. Often asked to “forward to my network,” as if I’d do the spammer’s job for them. Being reached out to can be great, it’s how I got my current job, but so many firms seem to use this approach carelessly.
Geo-based cross continent data storage isn't enough. The fact that the parent company is a US entity still makes it illegal, no matter where the data is stored.
I would expect quite a lot of resistance to monitoring efforts, even if they are paid opt-ins (which will mostly be used by schools and employers, the same way they already use similar services that do the same).

Censoring of illegal content is much less controversial, and already happening to various degrees at the ISP provided DNS servers. You can make good arguments for transparency and oversight by the courts, but that's as far as it usually goes. Hard to argue that illegal things should be publicly accessible.
Lacking intelligence is not a moral failing.

Using words that imply lack of intelligence to describe moral failings associates those lacking intelligence with those lacking morals, to the detriment of those lacking intelligence.
AFAIK that company only ever had one customer: the German government.
Soda isn't more convenient than buying bottled water in a shop, so I don't think it's because of water quality.
The idea of the internet as public infrastructure is great, but maybe we can keep the decentralization of today? This would put enormous (censoring) power in the hands of government entities.
Not a great comparison. This is about who gets to decide whether or not to take the risk to deal with U.S companies in spite of the fact that they may be forced to hand over data to the U.S government. Is that my decision or does the government of my country take that decision for me?

I think it's a question on which reasonable people can disagree.
I also like how they are basically admitting that the drug lords can basically use police force to bully their own opponents by acting "as if" they were the anonymous informers of drug trafficking.
No part of your job should be gamified, or employees start optimizing to win the game and compete with each other instead of collaborating to create a better product/company. However, bug bounties and crypto bounties are a great way to "gamify" work that cannot be done by traditional employees.
Sony is a tech / electronics company. Stop letting your love for Japan getting the better of you.
I agree that "we used to do just fine" isn't a sufficient argument by itself. There are many things that we didn't have when we were kids and even if we turned out fine, they are clearly beneficial (say, meningitis vaccines).

But honestly, is there really much value in knowing e.g. exactly how much and how frequently our babies feed? I mean, if you've had a baby you will know that feeding is purely instinctive, they are wired for it, and if they're hungry they are very well equipped to let you know by crying at a volume that would put Motörhead at shame. Nature (through the baby) gives us plenty of messaging about how and when he needs food, it's just a matter of interpreting it. And all babies are different, so are you sure that some table or general guidelines will give you better information than the babies themselves will provide? And are you sure it's worth spending your scarce energy and thoughts, as a sleep-starved parent, on doing that kind of tracking?

Anyway, as I mentioned in a different post above, I don't judge anyone on these issues. Different things might work for different people. If these apps work for many parents and help them implement the kind of parenting they see fit, more power to them. For me they're a distraction from actually communicating and getting to know my son, but to each their own!

It’s because being straight, white and not trans means you’re an evil oppressor to a lot of younger people these days. They at least have to claim bisexuality when they aren’t, or loudly proclaim their brown ethnicity when they’re in fact over 7/8 European and could claim a noble title and European citizenship.

It’s almost like people are judging everyone by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character.

I'm guessing who you work for has a big influence on how much trust there was in the first place.
There is the little matter of tens of thousands of years of human evolution where illiterate parents wrote down none of that and were providing to many more babies than just the one. This is extra ironic because there was no point being made besides "you’ve obviously not been the primary caretaker of an infant recently".

I live in Germany, and the problem is a bit more subtle.

At the moment is the 2g+ regulation, which basically means the if you are twice vaccinated of recovered + 1 vaccine dose you need to do a test every 24h to have a social life.

Tests are free, but you have to queue outside and spend time to get them.

Tests are not needed if you "boosted", i.e. if you had a 3rd dose (or second if you had only one), or as in my case you also recovered despite having 2 doses.

Also there is a social craziness, where schools can close because there are cases, kindergartens also can close etc. and there are limits in the number of people can enter a venue, you have to book everything online, and there are very few places always fully booked... this de facto limits your life quite a lot.

All this despite the numbers are comparable with a seasonal flu

But you also need to make disaster recovery plans! You need to know what actions to take when the shit hits the fan!
Its not fraudulent, its a good idea, and likely useful in niche large chemical plants. It is also useless against climate change.

The the paper uses a simple input of CO2 and nitrogen. Though O2 could be added as well, as the gallium will simply react with it too. After all, More energy is released by gallium reacting with O2, than by carbon reacting by O2, or it would not happen in the first place. In the atmosphere, CO2:O2 is say 400:1 meaning you need 400 times more gallium.

The next step would be to separate the gallium from the gallium oxide, which is energy intensive, though this can be climate neural using nuclear. To do so would require hundreds of times the global energy production from coal, oil, and gas. And if you have built these, why not just use them instead, global warming would already be effectively stopped.

It also cannot be used in car catalyzes, providing an anoxic reaction chamber which can collect and separate the outputs simply isn't feasible at small scale. The carbon would be in a fine powder, likely to spontaneously react with O2 if exposed to air, either slowly, or if given a spark, very rapidly indeed. The gallium also should not be released into the environment. Not only would large scale use of this tech make it very expensive, gallium is also mildly toxic. However, because it is rare in our environment, there are few if any studies on the impact of long term low dose gallium poisoning. As a result, its a comparable to lead, a few decades ago. Not saying its as deadly, just saying its a metal we are rarely if ever exposed to, known to be mildly poisonous in the short term. And this is before you add the problems of contaminants in fuel, and partial combustion. For similar reasons it also cannot be used in aviation.
