As mentioned, S3's torrent server is no longer a thing.

When it worked, it also was never that great. The WebSeed AWS ran was slow, the tracker was always problematic as well.
I don’t know how Trudeau/Freeland could possibly be this idiotic. The protestors played it smart - they were peaceful yet strategic in blocking major import/export roads so the government actually felt the pain. Instead of even talking to them, the government permanently damaged a large number of peoples trust in any financial institutions.

As a practical matter, how do I begin to move towards unseizable assets? Crypto is popular but several crypto wallets were frozen as well, including a Monero wallet. All crypto exchanges in Canada require KYC. Literal cash or precious metal is maybe an option but getting through an airport with a bag of $50K in cash wouldn’t be easy or safe, especially when you land in another country which might have open corruption and you’re not a citizen.
The Sentinels share the same orbit. So far with only one there is a revisit time of 12 days with one, and 6 days with two, with more (planned) even less. But you could have searched that yourself, or not? I wonder what you think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TanDEM-X & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TerraSAR-X ?

Would convoy be OK?
> Making the whole thing client side also let him scale from a small handful of users to literally millions with basically zero additional work.

But everyone on HN is telling me that I should move away from client side and render everything server side! In fact, all state should be server side! Use a fancy library that opens a web socket and turn the users 4+core computer into a mindless zombie controlled by a .25CPU VM somewhere.

And some corporate environments might be ok with non-business uses of Internet data, but uncomfortable talks will be had if they detect BitTorrent.
That pretty much makes no sense as an analogy. People opposed to speed cameras aren't advocating for spending more time and effort to write tickets, they're advocating for not getting tickets.
In China almost everything is WeChat/AliPay these days. People almost never use cash, even the street vendors use mobile payments.
It's a problem because if you do something that Tencent doesn't like, they can just shut you out of your life, quite literally.

And I'm not talking about politically sensitive stuff. At all. I'm talking about doing stuff that Tencent, the company, doesn't like.

I'm talking about e.g. if they detect you running WeChat in a virtual machine, they consider that against their ToS, and they might shut you out of your account, including payments, which means you lose the ability to buy breakfast, lunch, groceries, train/tickets, pay your electric bill, get a tax, pretty much everything. For fucking running a VM. Or decompiling it and writing a plugin to make it more usable/accessible for yourself. Or anything, really.

Tencent is honestly fucking AWFUL for doing this. This is fully their idiotic usage policy and has nothing to do with government compliance.
They come out of the factory half-baked, and will get half-baked updates at the dealership. Nothing about the delivery mechanism changes that.
The worst part is that these problems only manifest under high load. Unless a team does performance testing (for long periods of time? in a highly-production-like environment), they might never know of many of these issues.

It's hard for me to understand how someone doesn't see conservative Christians are on the defensive in these cases.

LGBT groups are getting massive support from governments, NGOs, corporations, etc. Acceptance is being promoted in virtually every media and you are generally considered an evil person for holding views about homosexuality that would have been normal 30 years ago.

Conservative Christians on the other hand are just praying their livelihood won't be the target of activists today.
How lucky we are that cryptocurrencies have evolved since Bitcoin.

Monero is fungible.
‘She is “willing to work with all people regardless of race, creed, sexual orientation, and gender’

This is not a case of “don’t work for gays.” You’re overlooking a distinction that is important to the case.
Fascinating. Although I can program I’ve basically ended up as someone who can do fairly in-depth technical writing among many other things. And I’m not generally a word puzzle fan.
Ironically, that game was written by Panic, the same studio thats perfectly contented with paying Apple 30% of their revenue on their other apps...
This issue has bitten me multiple times. You must set the resolver AND use the domain name in a variable. See here: https://www.nginx.com/blog/dns-service-discovery-nginx-plus/ under "Setting the Domain Name in a Variable". The other options ignore the record TTL or require Nginx Plus.

My claim is that when evaluating when an authority's actions were reasonable, we should lend little to no credence to statements by that same authority claiming the actions were reasonable, especially when it is impossible to verify even who exactly was targeted, let alone why.

As a contrasting case, if a police department arrested some people during a protest and released a statement about why, a journalist could verify that against the public records and even follow along the criminal proceedings. How can we verify claims made by the RCMP about their extrajudicial actions?
The biggest problem with headphone dongles for me and my family is that they don’t last. The Apple one has great sound but doesn’t take long to start cutting out (from getting yanked on in a pocket, probably).

I bought an all-metal, tiny USB-C to 3.5mm dongle and it’s started cutting out, too - and it wasn’t cheap, at about $40.
Good discussion. I have often wondered about that interface.

This bears more resemblance to traditional manufacturing actually. I think there may be some value in borrowing ideas from statistical process control, rather than trying to force predictions into deterministic cases.
It is older by a few years, but it is not a two-sided marketplace, it's Blizzard's (+ Activision's) DRM.

FWIW, I did not mean that Steam is necessarily the literal first game marketplace, but to my (limited) knowledge it was the first one that got large enough to become the "default" option.
We just had essentially this exact same discussion a whopping 2 days ago...

Not to mention the probably literally hundreds of past threads asking some variation of this over the years. C'mon people, chances are you're not going to randomly ask "what problem do you need solved" on HN and come up with your next billion dollar idea. I mean, yeah, it could happen, but I'd encourage you to get out of the echo chamber and talk to people IRL, or at least on other forums.
But why are we okay with being sad at the computer?
It's all fun and games until you get a new hat and glasses and cease to exist.
Your example suggests a fairly obvious line to draw; that a person should not be compelled to speech that they do not agree with, but that they may still be compelled to action that does not reasonably count as speech. As a less emotional example, a person may be compelled pay taxes, but may not be compelled to say that they endorse taxes.
It’s a case of “don’t work for gays on wedding websites”. A distinction without a difference.
>She is “willing to work with all people regardless of race, creed, sexual orientation, and gender,” her lawyers told the court. “But she cannot create websites that promote messages contrary to her faith, such as messages that condone violence or promote sexual immorality, abortion, or same-sex marriage.”

Seems like an open-and-shut case. She’s willing to work with gays, just not for this particular cause. Is this any different than turning away a white for wanting a KKK website? I think not.
I suspect a big part of the reason is "more work for very little gain" since most users will just download over HTTP given the choice.

I'd love to see some stats from somewhere like Internet Archive that offers both, it'd be great to be proven wrong, but I suspect a number basically 0% after rounding of their data is downloaded via peer-to-peer BitTorrent traffic.
Delivery Optimisation? Yes, that's still a thing.

It doesn't have to be internet based, you can turn it down to just peers on your local network, or disable it entirely (if you have WSUS infrastructure and no need for it).
Interesting tangential link: my understanding is that device / encryption security is also rooted in the 1st Amendment?

In that, by compelling the creation of a backdoor (by writing or modifying code, that did not exist before the demand) the government violates an individual's right to free speech, by which they cannot be compelled to speak in a certain manner.

But at the same time, that "freedom" already appears to give way to the social good of equality for protected classes (i.e. personal characteristics). Thorny set of issues to balance.
Where do you get the Roms tho
Skimmed the article. Looks nice. Good colors and formatting throughout.

Don't delete it.

Hiding processes and tidying up the CPU time (adding it to System Idle Process on Windows, etc.) is Rootkits 101. This technique has been documented in books for 15+ years. If they don't get the info from you, they'll get it somewhere else just as easily.
If it weren't this game it would be something else. I remember Animal Crossing dominating all video game discussions for weeks or months at a time.

Interestingly enough, systemd has a feature called nspawn that can be used to run application containers.
This was a concern in 2018 as well, and Newell dispelled it[0]. Newell supposedly holds >50% private equity in Valve[1], so he's the final say.

"a centralized database of personal information" already exists. That ship sailed a long time ago. The government issued your birth certificate and social security number. I'm advocating that we upgrade this with some semblance of security in mind, rather than continue to rely on an antiquated solution that was designed nearly a decade before the first electronic computer was turned on.

Unless you want to argue that the lack of security is a feature, and that rampant identity theft is somehow stopping the US government from perpetrating the next holocaust.
But that's not what happened? The authority did not come out and say "we did this and we were right to do so!", they came out and said "this did not happen".
Ministers can still choose what marriages to perform or not, there's no law or court ruling that forces them to perform mixed-race marriages.

The fact that this isn't an issue (nobody is refusing to do so) actually speaks against your point, not for it.
It is interesting to me how much variation there is within a single career, a single company, a single department, etc.
Last I checked webtorrent users can download from webtorrent users. So they are isolated like that.
Unless it actually ends up costing the merchant more money because they need to store and transport large amounts of cash and doing that isn't free.

That's not a FaceID issue, that's an Android issue. iPhones will not automatically log into the phone after it unlocks, it stays on the lock screen.
There is an important distinction that you are blurring. On the one hand, we don’t (any more) tolerate places of public accommodation from excluding people based on certain categories, such as race. Because permitting that exclusion leads to injustice and makes life difficult for the excluded groups. On the other hand, that doesn’t mean we automatically want to force people to do lengthy, bespoke work that offends their beliefs, even if we might not agree with those beliefs.
The original prototype for Wordle was actually back in 2013 [0]. But yeah he didn't really touch it until mid 2021 when he recreated it from scratch. The improved word list which plays a huge role came then, with the help of his partner classifying all 13k 5-letter words. I believe the share function came much later when he noticed people actually manually typing those colored squares.

If you don't think the conservative side doesn't have the same or more behind it, I really don't know what to tell you at this point.

Who's funding the federalist? Who's funding FedSoc?

They're just not as public about it.
On #1 - humph was hard for me, I've never encountered it in my reading (maybe I'm not reading a particular genre that uses it? Is it something Jane Austen used?), only got it via a a last ditch guess, because I'm familiar with "harrumph" and I had "-umph" already and "h" was the only prefix that remotely made any kind of sense.
The current act is literally the replacement to the War Measures act... and of course it has never been used before since it was only created during the Mulroney era partly because Pierre Eliott Trudeau abused the original one during the October crisis. Kind of a pattern here.

So yes technically it's not the war measures act anymore but if let's say there was a war, they'd enact the same emergency measures law. There is no seperate law for war iirc but at least we get to say that we technically aren't under martial law (because we renamed it)
The best "linux sysops handbook" is the manual. Every one of these tools has a lengthy manual; read them in their entirety. Try out the options.

Not sure what commands there are or what they do? Try this out:

zcat -f /usr/{,share/}man/man[18]/*.[18].gz | grep -A2 "\.SH NAME" | grep -v "^\.\|^$\|^--" | sed 's/\\//g' | sort -u | less

Then read the manual for those tools that interest you. (learn how man, info, less and more work)

The source code is also free. Many of these tools come as part of a package of other tools and libraries. Find out what package the tools come from, find the source code, download it, peruse through it (even if you don't know the language). I guarantee you will find out new things you didn't know about how the system works.

You can also use debugging tools like strace, ltrace, gdb, lsof, etc to find out more about what these tools are doing. The more you understand what it's actually doing, the deeper your knowledge, and the less you need a handbook to tell you what to do.

Another way to play around with commands is to just run a Docker container like docker run --rm -it ubuntu:18.04 and try anything you want in the container. On exit it will be destroyed. To play around with systemd tools, install Vagrant and spin up a mini Linux VM.
I've had to struggle with Epic just to delete a game at times. And the giant tiles in the library are already a pain to navigate through with a library 1/20th the size of my Steam library. I could live without features if the core functionality was nailed in, but it's just not there.

The only people I know using it as a broad Steam replacement are doing so ideologically: they want a competitor to exist so they use it even if it's worse.
I don't think the business owner should be able to turn away clients because of the clients' sexual orientation. However, I do not think the business owner should be forced to make content they find immoral, either.

If we generalize this problem, it basically distills down to: If you are a web designer and a <protected class> commissions you to make a website glorifying <something you personally find to be immoral>, are you allowed to refuse the job on grounds that you don't want to use your skills to promote something you personally find immoral (though you would be happy to make them other content you don't object to)? Or should you be forced by law to make the website in order to not discriminate against <protected class>?
Great! Hopefully when Python updates its sqlite library in a few years, it will finally have JSON support. So far it was commonly built without it.
Compared to "normal" industries, this and the cake designer suit [1] really are a different ball-game, because of the speech implications as well as discrimination.

On the one-hand, this is very close, if not exactly the same as active discrimination against a protected group. But since being a web designer is a creative role, we also have to take into account the creative aspect: does the couple "forcing" the designer to work constitute a violation in speech?

If this were a medical clinic or even a large advertising agency--which is also a creative firm-- it would clearly be discrimination, but the simple fact that this is an individual makes it an interesting case.

> But the why are crypto and NFTs bad? It's like they're socially destructive and they represent crypto. I really want to stress that NFTs are an extension of crypto and crypto is a socially destructive experiment that goes to great lengths to concentrate even more wealth and even more power into the hands of the few. They're deflationary by design, which traps -- so the long-term outcome of these would be that late comers, which -- you have to consider that, oh, well, what does a late adopter look like in crypto? And it's like well, if we're talking on a timeline, its people who are kids right now. So let's imagine this hypothetical future where where crypto becomes like mainstream. Let's say it wins and it takes over. Well, it's like, oh, well, you should have bought in early. It's like, well I couldn't buy in early. I was five. I now have to buy in late because the passage of time dictates it. And it's like, Ok, how is it going to behave when those people have to buy in? And it's like, oh, not good, not well. It's going to be terrible. And deflationary economies trap ordinary people into irrecoverable cycles of debt that just leads towards serfdom.
I wish this applied to (or would get enforced against) Gitcoin, which doesn't actually have anything--afaik--to do with git (it is just attempting to fund open source development in general, and seems to have just glommed onto "git" as "I guess this has something to do with open source").
I think Christians have the right to hold whatever judgements they like about people, as we all do. However, that doesn't mean that they should be able to discriminate in the professional services they provide. In fact, these same laws protect the Christians who wish to deny services to gay people from having services denied to them.

I'm not sure I agree that LGBT folks are getting "massive support" from governments more than other groups do (for instance, churches have a very effective tax carve out which I support), but there certainly has been a push for LGBT people to be recognized as humans who have the right to exist like anyone else. Again, we can all view homosexuality (and other queer identities) in whatever way we want - but this case and the questions before civic society in general are about the provision of services. The standard we should all follow is that people are free to believe what they want (and suffer the social consequences of being known to hold those beliefs) but still be free to access the commercial services that are available to the general public without fear of being exiled for their beliefs or identity.

Edit: FWIW, I generally support the finding of Masterpiece Cakeshop, which is that the work of people doing 'creative' work is speech-y and they cannot be compelled to do creative work for a cause they oppose. However, it says that you cannot refuse service to protected classes if your creativity is not called on (i.e. Masterpiece Cakeshop does not have to design a cake, but does have to bake a cake if the design is provided). I would support a similar standard here and I expect Smith to lose unless she can argue that a commercial website for gay people requires some kind of creative act specifically about the sexuality of her clients.
This popped up on HN a couple days ago along with most of these comments that are labeled as being posted today. New HN bug?
If you were to somehow do your work in a way that didn’t require me to join video calls with you, that would be fine. I find those calls as hellish as you find commuting or the city.
The only thing they could mean is tax evasion. Otherwise the built-in transaction history make credit cards far, far more convenient than cash for record keeping.
Are their any guides to what the (I'm sure) broad wording of hate crimes in Scotland is? This feels like a law that will be misused.
> After a few rounds, it just wasn't as fun.

Absolutely. If that limitation wasn't there, the game would've definitely fizzled out within days and maybe even never made to it the popularity it has now. The slow sustained popularity, with people posting their results on the shared daily word is the key to success here.

It's the only reason people are still talking about it more than a month later.
A third solution: if, in doing a thing, you feel you absolutely must discriminate against a protected class, then don’t do that thing for anyone. Discrimination prevented and speech not compelled.
Does it? It feels like current news would be a poor method for tracking multi-year cultural changes.
Hehe, why would you think my demo uses VNC? It doesn't look anything like that. VNC always displays a real browser in a desktop like environment, like Hyperbeam looks like. VF just shows the viewport of each tab, the actual browser controls are clearly custom, and they're on the client. I'm so puzzled you thought mine was VNC! :D ...I guess you're maybe using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capt... / getDisplayMedia (maybe with an extension to enable permissions for the full desktop) to create the video stream.

Anyway, yours is cool. I actually just capture the remote tab viewport and stream over websocket or WebRTC checking whichever is faster.

3 times is impressive. But I think I beat you there: I've applied to YC like every batch since 2015 with a variety of ideas the last couple with the browser stuff. I think they're never going to let me in. They just hate me. I don't have the creds (no fancy college, no CS degree, no connections)...I live in Asia. And I'm solo founder. :)

Haha, I don't think I'll stop applying tho maybe :D
