The other side of the coin is that it is almost impossible to use Google's open source libraries outside of Google, and I mean specifically the C++ stuff.

Everything from the build system to the coding style oozes "NIH", even seemingly simple things are overengineered to fit the "Google way", and god forbid they use any standard tools or even ideas from outside Google.

It wouldn't be a problem if the Google tools would be great, but they feel clunky and as if they've been frozen in time 10..15 years ago.

If whatever handful of things are your most used sites/services/etc online were shut down tomorrow would you consider it the end of the internet for you? You'd (I guess, at least I would) immediately move to the next best (maybe even discover it's better!) or wait for a competitor to spring up.

So there's a huge difference between those few platforms blocking Russia but a whole world of alternative ways to spend time online vs. only domestic Russian options.
> can offer that we can't currently do without the use of a Blockchain.

The real issue with responses like this is that you can do anything with computers anyway. The blockchain basically gives you a

* Globally writable database

* With stored procedures

* And row level security

Now, you can always swap out that with a centralised service. Turing machines can do stuff and machines can talk to each other. Whether it's possible to build a technically equivalent thing is not really the important question.

What tends to happen though is that the underlying infrastructure if supported by a profit-making company is that it has its own agenda and desire to control access. There's no real desire for the base layer to be open, it's not profitable in itself.

One of the more appealing things to me in the area is that there's a lot of work with shared interfaces. Working with the ERC721 spec I can easily make a non-fungible token that refers to a ticket at a conference, or right to claim a financial security, or game item, or has a link to a wiggly line or whatever I want. Someone else can build an auction contract, and my nft will automatically work in it, as will anyone elses. If you have control of the NFT you can pick which auction type/contract/service you want to use. I don't (and shouldn't) care, that's not the part I build or manage.

Finally, "but can't you do it with postgres and ..." is true but there's a huge shift that's happened. Before, sure, I'd have to have built all this stuff on chain and have all of the complete pain-in-the-arse stuff to deal with that comes with crypto. But now that all exists.

So to make, say, an in game item that people can re-sell, swap, etc, instead of

* Make a website

* Setup the DB

* Manage user accounts

* Manage payment information

* Code the sales, auctions, etc

* Build the integration with my game & my API

* Manage and maintain the server

to do it the traditional way. To do it on chain I

* Create a trivial NFT contract

* Build the integration with my game & a generic API

That's it. All the other work, auctions, etc. has been solved and built already. User accounts are already managed.

You can always solve it another way. The more interesting question is in which cases should you solve a problem in certain ways? Not everything makes sense on chain, the database is slow and public (and even for very cheap chains comparatively expensive), and the stored procedures are extremely limited.

However some things can fit well - do you need to create some kind of economic incentive & want to let market forces control things (for example, filecoin and paying people for storage)? Maybe just creating a token on existing infrastructure will fit your needs. If it does, does it make sense to build even more things yourself?

Disclaimers - I am currently doing contract engineering in this area but am not looking for work, have only small holdings and am not here to shill for anything.

In this case, you would still leak the data you had on the user. In France, according to the CNIL's recommendation, you can keep users' data in backups but you have to notify in clear words them that their data is kept X years.

As a side note, the CNIL also clarified things the author have issues with, for instance "without undue delay" is set to 30 days. In the UK, I've read they backups for specific users must be deleted when technically possible. I'm not sure how that works in practice.
I think that back in the day before Sennheiser become the last man standing to produce robust and repairable headphones, they competed with other manufacturers of robust and repairable headphones on factors like functionality and aesthetics.

TL;DR: Nice strawman ya got there. Would be a shame if it burned down.
Any idea why this repo doesn't work? https://github.com/icosa-gallery/open-brush-docs

I can't see anything other than 404's. I tried /resources.html etc

EDIT - I think maybe it's expecting me to put everything in a site subdir. Which is very unclear from the docs. (and means I probably won't try it out as I was hoping I could use my docs repo "as is")
GBP, JPY, and CNY are less important than USD but they're all considered reserve currencies and are included in the IMF XDR basket.
> If anything, Ukraine shows that civilization doesn't necessarily immediately collapse.

It’s been 20 days. I’d refrain from being overly optimistic just now. More likely than a full civilisation collapse is a return to feudal tribalism as in Afghanistan and Lybia, which is not very good either.
The cost of "missing a flight" varies hugely. In some cases it just means I arrive 3 hours late to a meeting I wasn't that interest in being at in the first place. In other cases it means I miss my connecting flight, have to pay out of pocket for a new flight and a hotel and miss one day of my big holiday that I've been looking forwards to all year.
FYI: proof of work for spam protection has been around since the late ’90s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashcash. Bitcoin explicitly built on top of that work. In a vacuum, it’s a nice idea, but in practice the problems are more social than technical, and such solutions as these never pan out at scale. If you’re interested in learning more, read up on the term for this phenomenon (coined because enthusiastic proposals happen with monotonous regularity): Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem. https://www.dmuth.org/fussp/ is a decent starting point.
I use chrome and you have to enable the special flag for that and I'm not doing that for a single site.

I think it's only needs a really small amount of css i.e. some padding/margins a slight change in the background colour and some better spacing that's all probably. Five minutes worth of work and would add virtually nothing to the page weight.

I suspect whomever Dan Luu is they don't really give a f about my opinion so I'll stop now.
Better still: B2B Food As a Service. Get a hose under every office worker's chair delivering necessary nutrients directly to the digestive system through the anal orifice. Needs some infrastructure to install the hoses etc, but that's pretty much already there in most office floors for cables etc.

That way really nobody touches the food, not even the person eating it. In the new capitalist utopia, food touches you.
In mere decades the nation will look back at these cases against respectable academics as what they truly are: blatant, nonsensical xenophobia.

Academic collaboration is “Chinese ties?” Incredible that these cases are even being sent to trial with 0 evidence of these professors sending any kind of sensitive information to China.
So damn casual about it. They don't intend for it to be offensive at all. Lower classes are unintelligent and frivolous and Arabs are noble savages. That's just the writer's reality. It's crazy how far we've come.
Alas, if you consider Sydney winters too cold to bear, then you'll probably have a bad time in Lisbon too.

Sydney is not only warmer on average, but also much less prone to cold spells (not that cold spells are common in Lisbon, but they certainly occur more frequently: the last time it snowed in Sydney was 1836; the last time it snowed in Lisbon was 2006).

I think the climate you're looking for is more in line with Miami.

Are you (really) sure? The article that I linked says otherwise.

So for a merchant, there are absolutely no problems in friendly fraud, failing cards in other countries, etc in Web 2 then? Especially sending money to people in sanctioned countries using bank accounts?
Really enjoyed this and feel like this could be an excellent format for learning all kinds of things. I really hope it pushes on to the logical conclusion. Asking a lot, I know.
Precisely. If i arrive an hour early, i spend an hour browsing the duty-free whisky shop. If i arrive a minute late, i spend an hour browsing the duty-free whisky shop, and spend three hours sitting in an uncomfortable seat, and have to spend the price of four of five bottles of that whisky on a new ticket.
> Binding to 0.0.0.0 is unfortunately the default for Docker.

That isn't just a docker thing, though a few notable accidents with docker have shone a light on the issue in recent times, and is one of the reasons I much prefer to keep my firewall away from where things are running, between them and the unwashed masses on the public network.

Even at home I have a separate small firewall box between the server that hosts things (and the rest of my network) instead of trusting that host to manage its own security in that way. If I run a service via docker or anything else on there, the outside world doesn't see it unless I open a way in elsewhere. For extra paranoia, the network leg that others can connect to (wireless AP & wired network ports in the guest room) is also separate and only sees parts of the server(s) I explicitly want it to (you can do this with vlans and such depending on your kit, I've actually just got an extra NIC on the router).

Never assume a process/service/container/etc is at all locked down, unless you have checked it out yourself or have it sufficiently wrapped in things you have locked off.
Okay. Good point.

I can modify my behaviour instead. Watch using computers with Adblock and de program myself to want to listen to music from YouTube.

Boom done, no need for a YouTube subscription. Subscription hell has got to end.
None of the blockchains use 2PC. The blocks may get discarded after a while. Sort of eventual consistency

> And you really can't solve the problem of scalping without tying tickets/accounts to a verified national ID, which is a political problem.

I'm not sure I understand that.

You could tie it to something within a smaller group (e.g. tickets can only be transferred to people who have bought the bands album, or only to verified accounts that the vendor approves). I would also be surprised if there wasn't a ZK way of doing some kind of KYC like check that you are able to prove you have ID and tie that to an account _without_ making the link between the two public.
Novice here.

Can someone explain to me why I'd use this over say docker, ansible, or even a make file?

BTW I'm no expert in any of the aforementioned, I've had to use docker, was thinking of learning about make files, and wanted to look at ansible, maybe.
Because of this comment I went ahead and watched all of these videos as well as some more that were popular.

While I agree with some of his points about modern movies I feel like he has a huge issue with cherry picking old classic movies and comparing them against new movies with generally bad reviews. If you ignore good movies just to make a point then you’re not being genuine.

If that was my only gripe with his content then I’d probably watch it some more but I’m blocking his channel instead.

He tries to come off as an objective reviewer but he’s actually a sexist, antiSJW asshole. He’s basically thunderf00t if al he did was talk about movies. Not every video of his is biased against women and “woke” people but when he does mention the topic you quickly see his real colours. Some of his videos are completely mask off but in most of them it’s just a sentence or two, which is why at first I kept watching just in case.

But at this point I can’t tolerate him tbh.

I recommend anyone who is a legit fan of his to take a step back and analyze what this guy is saying on his videos and why. If he aligns with your political views that is fine but I can legit see a regular person being sucked into the alt right side of Youtube using this channel as a gateway for it. It starts with a few comments on how woke feminists are ruining movies and you slowly desensitize yourself and start agreeing with this bs.
Exactly one of my points.
I remember a time when there was the good, the bad and the ugly. You knew which was each with a cursory glance.

Now there are a hundred, most of them below the cut, with top ranked = SEO junk.
Even if the goal is not to make money, I'd think that most would at least want an audience to read their work.
Publishing a book, especially paperback is a considerable commitment, yet there's no lack of them coming out in paperback. Even a kindle version is a huge time commitment.

Do you consider that most authors simply have unreasonable expectations when deciding to publish?
I find it baffling how much is spent on NFL stadiums for just 8 home games a year. That's just over 1 game per day for a week every year. And the stadiums take up prime real estate. Also, some teams are forced to play out of the country for one of their games and lose a home game.
The ship of Mozilla not playing silly games has long ago sailed.
Will be difficult. Most people are trained in a way that . "Antivirus" means "Ass covering successfully applied. I'm no longer responsible!".

The "antivirus" was sold as solution to the MBA people for thirty years and computer magazines told the consumers the same wrong story. I've seen arguments like "ISO27001 requires us to install an antivirus on that application servers". Suddenly you see "undefined behavior" on the same application server. Guess how get's blamed? Not the responsible people.

When we see weird issues on customers systems "Please turn off antivirus" is in a high number of times the solution, suddenly defined behavior. The problem with antivirus software is that it is the actual implementation of undefined behavior.

I'm not a network admin! John from marketing should be in an isolated VLAN or something like that? Only access to an departed internal file server? Because it will fail. Maybe there is JavaScript in the next spreadsheet and Microsoft Security Essentials is happy "JavaScript? Let me see. I want put my nose inside!": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/SecurityAd...

Failure will happen in general computing and the systems need to be resilient about that. The other approach is what we see in mission critical systems? Multiple parallel instances if possible, no unchecked updates, no random software, only input through defined interfaces.
But that part was meant tongue-in-cheek as documented by the next sentence starting with "But seriously".
> Lol no, a professional sports team is of little "joint benefit to society", at least not of the kind that seriously concerns the government.

As already the old Romans knew: panem et circenses is what you need to keep your population from uprising - aka, providing them with food and entertainment.

> You may as well argue that the government should be subsidizing new Marvel movies, or Call of Duty, because those are popular forms of entertainment too.

Movies, including blockbusters such as the MCU, are already subsidized. As for games - the European Union subsidizes developers since 2014[1], Germany runs an additional program since 2019 [2].

> For a while, the Olympics were able to basically threaten their way into huge subsidies from even developed countries, but this seems to have mostly gone away now, as everyone collectively woke up from the delusion that the Olympics were a major economic boon worth investing in.

The subsidies for Olympic Games and FIFA World Cups were for a very long time mostly housing, public transport and the stadiums that were sustainably usable for many decades (just look at my home city of Munich if you want to see an example). Only after corruption took over decisionmaking and sponsors demanded special laws (e.g. in Brazil with beer [3]), liberal democracies decided to not participate in the racket, and so dictators bought their way in.

My point is that it is not hard to pay with cryptocurrency using "Web 2.0" technology (or at least any problems you run into aren't directly 'Web' related).
200% agree.
That ideation was the conceit of philosophy and academia. And possibly specific to Eurasians.

Quoting your link: "who compiled and expanded the work of earlier *natural philosophers* and the various ancient explanations for the appearance of organisms, and was taken as *scientific fact* for two millennia."

Ivory towers and echo chambers come to mind.

People who lived connected to the land and animal husbandry often had different ideas, often ironically closer to the truth. If they knew of the existence of rigor and scientific fact, its explanations weren't really relevant to their days.

To put it to a point: they knew damn well that if they only had a sow pig, they needed to mate it to a boar to get piglets, babies weren't going to appear magically. Through folk knowledge and wisdom, agrarians knew a pig gave birth 114 days after mating, and they would have arranged netflix and chill so that the piglets arrived in spring.

This idea that academics and the upper classes could be wrapped up in silly ideas and old ways can be demonstrated with the story of Edward Jenner, right around the era you were talking about.

>The record shows that it was there that Jenner heard a dairymaid say, “I shall never have smallpox for I have had cowpox. I shall never have an ugly pockmarked face.” It fact, it was a common belief that dairymaids were in some way protected from smallpox.

But physicians didn't treat peasants, and certainly (up until then) didn't listen to them.
Because there is a power-relationship between the manufacturer and the consumer. Initially, a small amount of power is with the consumer, but at the moment of purchase the power shifts to the manufacturer. Since the power concentrates at the manufacturer, the latter will end up with massive amounts of power. This results in products that are in many ways shitty for the consumer.
No, I meant the entire world except the USA, Canada and probably Japan -- although I haven't been to Japan.

I may be out of date for China, I haven't been there for over 10 years.

My place of birth (in my passport) is an English city with a football team named after it. Outside Europe, in places with not so many tourists, it is very common for staff in hotels to recognize this and make some comment on it. Kids (and adults) who talk to me in the street will also comment on it — on the city's team if I say where I'm from, or with Manchester, Chelsea etc if I just say England/Britain.

I look up the names of the famous players before I travel to Africa or South America, so I don't seem like some ignorant idiot when hotel staff (or in one case, a border guard) open my passport and say "Thomas Partey! What a goal!".

Bear in mind the best European football teams often have a lot of foreign players. Chelsea currently have players from Spain, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Brazil, France, Croatia, Belgium, USA, England (only 8/26), Senegal, Mococco and France. Arsenal add Ghana, Norway, Portugal, Japan, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Switzerland. Tottenham Argentina, Ireland, Korea, Colombia, Sweden, Uruguay.

Many people are aware when if a player from their country plays for a famous European team. They often also play for their national team, or used to.

(I have no interest in football myself, which is partly why it's so noticeable to me when people ask me about it so much.)
Well, people misuse this globally accessible permanent persistent database, which is controlled by static private keys to store data which is meant to be private, semi-private or and data which is supposed to be public for the time being.

But they won't. And they could already be paid more (see McD in Norway and McD in the US, drastically different minimum wage but basically the same prices), but aren't.

Doubt it.
It's a bit of a stretch to say that Paris is known for the Paris-Saint-Germain.

You are describing a person you are attracted to who's worldview is very different from your own. So you want to understand it. There is no book written that will explain her beliefs, you have to ask, listen and reflect, then ask some more.

In my experience labels such as spiritual or skeptical obscure more than they illuminate. They are a tool in the ongoing exercise of identity construction, itself an effort to define ourselves that is often strikingly counter factual.

Enjoy her company and observe yourself as much as you observe her. The more important question is: I have fallen for a woman who is not attracted to me and I will settle for friends. What is going on inside me that makes that ok?

Ask HN: How to promote a Swiss MS 365 alternative?
Hi

Two weeks ago we launched our swiss MS 365 alternative which was in development for about one year. We now focus on advertisement and are currently wondering how to approach companies.

Maybe somebody of the community has a great idea how to do it. Also do you think a there is a big market for our product? We are currently not sure if we maybe have used too much time for development and not enough for testing the market / market analysis.

The cloud based tool has a quite simple GUI and is capable of
- File storage & editing
- Team communication (connected to the storage)
- E-Mail (connected to the storage)
- Project Management (Trello like)
- Time Tracking
- Password management

At the moment there is no App (but if we see that the product has success we will build a Progressive Web App (PWA).

Thanks for your feedback. I wish everyone a nice week!
And it's the right choice.
