As someone who knows very little about serious identity management, does something like Ory handle the auth part (in a variety of schemes), and then your application interacts with Ory somehow to validate the auth? I guess I'm most confused about where the connection between Ory and the application server is.

I've only ever dealt with auth a monolith with sessions, so I'm pretty blind here.

Any resource anyone would recommend would also be greatly appreciated!
The article is unnecessarily long, but the anecdote is priceless -- it shows how clever and resourceful Bezos and his team had to be for the company to survive and thrive in its early days. Back then, book wholesalers had a 10-book order minimum, and Amazon wasn't yet big enough to order 10 books a day. So the team came up with an ingenious solution, which Bezos explained in a 1999 interview:

> We found a loophole. Their systems were programmed in such a way that you didn't have to receive 10 books, you only had to order 10 books. So we found an obscure book about lichens that they had in their system but was out of stock. We began ordering the one book we wanted and nine copies of the lichen book. They would ship out the book we needed and a note that said, "Sorry, but we're out of the lichen book." One of these days we're going to get all those lichen books dumped onto our front lawn.

Yet another example of why we need a users bill of rights to give users some standardized legal recourse to discover the reasons for account bans and dispute them.
> A lot of the ruling relied on parsing what category of speech this banner was.

But that's not germane, because “censorship” is not restricted to “restrictions on speech that violate the First Amendment”, so the US Supreme Court “parsing about which category of speech” something is has no bearing on the meaning of “censorship.” In fact, consideration of what category speech is only matters in the First Amendment context after one has determined that censorship (and, particularly, government censorship) is occurring. Only then is it important to parse the details of which set of standards to apply to determine if the government censorship involved is Constitutionally prohibited.
What you've described is not at all an equivalent for Dropbox. There are many, many features that your stack doesn't support.
> Also, there's a certain mistrust of the pension scheme and people think that the money in their pension accounts will be gone anyway by the time they reach the pension age.

Perhaps because it's true. In my relatively short life, the retirement age went up by over 5 years, and by the time I reach it it's going to go up by at least another 5 years. And let me tell you, there's no chance in hell I'm retiring at 70. A conservative fund would 'outperform' any government pension system in the long term.

Remember, the pension system was devised in a time where a lot of people died before the pension age. It is impossible for the pensions to keep up without overtaxing the young or increasing the pension age.

On top of that, you may contribute north of 100k in your lifetime towards your pension 'fund' that you will never see if you die a day before retirement (as my father did).

Not to mention the fact that there's no actual pension 'fund', not up to the full amount at least (or anywhere near). Most of the funds I pay in today will be paid out to pensioneers tomorrow.

Yep; but its worse. A lack of knowledge doesn't just stop you from building some applications. If you don't know what you're doing, its really easy to accidentally end up with security vulnerabilities in the software you make. I don't want my data ending up in yet more have-I-been-pwned dumps because beginners don't learn the basics.

Eg, lots of stack overflow answers recommend setting "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" to "fix" certain errors. Cross-origin messages are disabled by default in modern browsers for a good reason. No matter how convenient it is, you should understand the implications before opening flood gates like that.

I am skeptical, because almost all of the effect was due to white populations in republican counties (as they point out in the article). Other ethnicities apparently performed similarly across counties (again, as they point out). Seems a lot more likely that the decline of racism over the recent decades has just made poor white people look like poor other ethnicities (which we do see in the data). This also correlates with switching to vote Republican because you tend to vote populist when you are getting screwed and the Republicans have been the party of populism for at least the last decade. Anyways, the point is this study should be viewed with extreme skepticism because it is doubtful they captured all the external confounding factors.

How valuable are those features after Dropbox deletes all of your data and deactivates your account?
That’s usually your video card driver. Try checking for updates or rollback there
Those features are worthless if you’re entire digital storage can evaporate without any recourse.
I think OP is being sarcastic, referring to a comment on the original Show HN for Dropbox.
How can an automated system know the identity of users and what rights and licensing agreements they hold?
700 million people use them, and 17 million are on a paid plan. I still use Dropbox, because I don't trust that I'd be able to reach a helpful human at Google should anything happen to my Google account.
You can still access USENET if you have an account on <https://www.eternal-september.org/>. <https://news.individual.net> works, too, but I think it costs ten euros a year.
The most common cause of mis-vote is operator error. I've watched people use the touchscreen devices; with so many voters both unfamiliar with the mechanics of a touchscreen and unsteady on their feet (the median voter age is about 50), and with the machines made of cheap plastic resting on a table, they grip the machine to stabilize it and themselves. Their gripping thumb rests on the screen and creates phantom signal that makes it hard to localize the touch coordinate.

This is the best argument I'm familiar with against the electronic machines we used to use, and our state switched to paper oval-fill ballots that are then electronically tabulated. But, I haven't seen the statistics yet on how many mis-counts we now have as a result relative to the old system and I'd be curious to see them... Ask yourself how confident you are that 100% of voters know how to successfully fully darken the oval. And since the system is anonymous, nobody looks over their shoulder to verify they understand how to do it before the vote is dropped in the box (though in the event of a close race, a manual recount will be automatically triggered and at that point, at least it'll be human eyes deciding whether the voter circling the oval indicates their intent to vote for that candidate).
Great to hear this. We use a similar approach, we sometimes get flattery in the form of "this was the nicest interview I ever had". I believe in human centric approach (the golden- and silver rules), and if they have the fundamentals right, technical skills etc. they can learn the rest on the job! Quickly too. And stay working for many years, low turnover, more cost effective.
I thought that is one reason there are the standard 90 day trial period. Instead a lot of time is spent in interviews finding the perfect candidate (which doesn't exist).

About 5 or 6 years ago we had an alert in the middle of the night that our RDS instance dieded. It failed over in about 15 seconds (SQL Server so it’s a bit slow compared to PostgreSQL) but the MultiAZ worked as advertised. The downside is AWS never told us why it occurred.
Alternatively, just stop messing with the font. It's not necessary, annoys users and takes a lot of work to get right.
If he uses it for work, and clearly, most shared links he creates are of copyrighted media content, how would this work in practice? Does Google Drive/Dropbox have some flag for "creator" accounts?

Why can't your VPS provider do the same thing?
For $5 they definitely should.

Also assuming the sun doesn’t end in a sudden heat death event.

Also assuming that my fingers aren’t removed in a thresher accident.

And assuming the provider has electricity.

Etc etc etc, it’s important to vet that services I pay for have SLAs and are competent.
This is what people get for not self-hosting.
...and think of all the tracking and fingerprinting they'd have to sacrifice.
Indeed. And even though I consider myself a technical person through and through, I wouldn't want the law to work like that. We, as humans, are not capable of specifying society's functioning at that precision. We need the fuzziness of humans in the loop.

See here for example: https://www-pub.iaea.org/mtcd/publications/pdf/csp_019c/pdf/... - but note that this stuff is not trivial. The intricacies of turbulence in MHD are incredibly complex and hard to study (near-impossible analytically and very hard numerically). Nevertheless, these scaling behaviours (see the figures in section 2) have been known for more than 20 years by now.

Also, beware that the head of MIT's fusion program (your source) is the head of SPARC. Since he siphoned a huge amount of money from gullible venture capitalists outside his field by now, you definitely shouldn't rely on him for an obective analysis of SPARC's fundamental design.
That’s how I took it as well.
> But with AWS it’s a checkbox.

And I'd test the checkbox all the same. We learned just this week that one of our setups, which checks the cloud-provider provided box to have its VMs distributed across 3 AZs, is susceptible to the loss of a single AZ. Why? Because the resulting VMs … aren't actually distributed across 3 AZs as requested. (The provider has "reasons" for this, but they're dumb, IMO. It should have been as easy as checking the box.)
In America, people would call that process racist voter disenfranchisement. “Black and brown people” don’t have Internet access or stamps, they would assert, and can’t take time off from working three jobs to show up to a citizenship office.

I completely agree with this line of thinking. That would almost makes me against this kind of projects. However, thinking about the consequences completely flips the coin for me:

- without these projects, Apple will still continue doing whatever they are doing

- I don't expect many people to actually buy a new iThing because of these projects. Maybe they'd buy second hand iThings on which Linux is guaranteed to work. So Apple is not making new money with this

- Yes, they may save some devices from the landfill

- it might show Apple that yes, opening their devices a bit may actually increase their sales (but I would not count on it)

If I ever need a tablet and these projects work out without too many drawbacks, I'd actually probably consider getting a second hand iPad and install Linux on it. At this point I'd rather avoid both Android and iOS. I'd probably look into Pine64's (and other such manufacturers) devices first though.

I hope these projects will help save 2 old iPad 2 sleeping somewhere in my family. These otherwise perfectly capable devices are worthless now just because of one thing: the old version of Safari combined with the fact that Apple forbids browsers with alternative browser engines on these devices. That's so dumb.

And I'd probably prefer using existing devices than buying new ones if possible.

So, yes please, port Linux to the Apple devices!

> In this case, the question is does this type qualify as "not-censorship" because somehow blocking "content that infringes our IP" is not restricting speech on the basis on it's content. To me it seems obvious that this is a restriction of speech that depends on it's alleged content.

To the federal courts, too, which is why “fair use” was a court-created Constitutional limit on copyright before it was incorporated into the statute (the reason for the weird standards in the statute is that the factors from the court-issued rule were incorporated directly into the statute.)

Dropbox is afaik the only cross platform one with support for extended file attributes like tags, comments and custom icons in macOS, which I use extensively.
I'll be pedantic and say that technically OSL as a metropolitan city code isn't an airport (i.e. should fall under the same caveat as the railway portion of the man page)
They typically don't spy on their customers as much as a service like dropbox does.

Before downvoting, ask yourself: When was the last time a VPS provider scanned the disk contents of their customers? And when was the last time they booted someone for using full disk encryption?

Meanwhile, dropbox proudly proclaims how they scan the contents of their users' files.
The linked post doesn't highlight one of the most egregious elements of this order, in my view, in that the list of blocked sites is subject to a confidentiality order.
The report lays out exactly how this was done; it appears that among other things they were casting actual ballots on behalf of unlikely voters.

> Inside the polling place and while the polls were open, Beren would advise actual in-person voters to support Myers’ candidates and also cast fraudulent votes in support of Myers’ preferred candidates on behalf of voters she knew would not or did not physically appear at the polls (emphasis mine)
Which definitely won't happen with a cheap VPS provider. /s
FWIW, the union example may be relevant because it's actually the origin of the anti-voter-interference laws in most states. Pennsylvania specifically is rooted in precisely the scenario up-thread described due to the heavy-industry history of the state.

It is good that these laws continue to protect the voter's right to autonomy against new threats to it.
I have free OneDrive through my university, and I pay $99/year and I have it through work. With multiple TB available.

Yet I still use Dropbox because it’s way more usable.

Running the OneDrive agent is a hobby and it spikes my machine a few times a day. Running Dropbox is something that just works and has worked for 10 years without me ever noticing the sync app (a good thing).

I avoid Google because I wouldn’t want my gmail to turn off because of an event like this.
I hate to be so cynical if it helps people, but with his name plastered in the company and site like this, it feels like prep for a presidential run or some other political office.
Hopefully this will stop HNers from linking everyone ye olde "this is why Dropbox is better than your nerdass solution" comment, and hopefully it vindicates everyone over the years who countered that argument by asking what happens when Dropbox deletes your account apropos of nothing...

I don't think HR is usually on that level.

For example, suppose your team generates and shares some kind of data. You want to change the wire format. You could just go ahead and do it, letting the chips fall where they may, but I think that's bad engineering/engineering management.

It'd be better to coordinate with the folks consuming the data. Can you make their migration easier? While you're making a breaking change, are there others that would make sense to roll in? Are there times when it'd be better/worse to roll out the new version? Being proactive about this sort of stuff seems like good engineering to me.
I generally agree, but in the case of algorithms courses you generally know what you're expected to know for tests, and for course work you have ample access to course materials.

Getting a random question from an infinite pool and completing it with fewer resources under a short time crunch is a different game.

The low-level/assembly course I took had tests that felt like puzzles, and those tests were a ton of fun to take. Can't say I've had the same feeling for leetcode puzzles.

I've come to the realisation that during those two hours at maximum that I get with the candidate the most I can do is:

- Check their English

- Confirm that they are not an impostor

The former is an especially good predictor, because it tells me whether that person can read documentation.

I suppose for native English speakers a reading comprehension test would do.

The only thing Leet Code ever tests did for me is give false negatives.
I think it's more along the lines of "well, this is how I got in and if it recognized my genius it must be pretty good".

Unless your "nerdass solution" involves hosting your own server, then you don't have any additional protection.
There are many different ways of building websites (such as static site generators, JAMStack, etc) so that's also something to consider. If you do want a hosted CMS then Django is a perfectly fine choice and as others mentioned, the Django Girls tutorial teaches you how to build exactly that.

Later down the line you could consider Wagtail which builds upon Django but provides extra functionality helpful in building a CMS, but for the time being I suggest you stick with Django if you're just trying to learn.
