That disroot article is just FUD. See https://www.cloudflare.com/trust-hub/privacy-and-data-protec...

CloudFlare has settings to allow Tor traffic, etc. If some website does not work, users need to contact owner of that website to change settings so that it would work. If it's accessibility issue, speak about it to someone that can help with contacting website owner.

Many use CloudFlare to protect from huge amount of attacks, DDoS, etc.

It's almost the same result for the standard page cache when you're reading a file, isn't it?

Yeah I kind of agree. We're years away from when most people's videoconferencing quality is close to C920 quality. Audio is much more important. The C920's is pretty crap. You can easily buy better mics, but unfortunately most people just don't care about the quality of their own output.

I think part of the problem is that it's quite difficult to know your audio/video sounds/looks crap to other people. For most users they won't have a clue until someone says "I can't hear you" lots of times.

Zoom doesn't even have a way to test your connection.
Thank you. Following all these events has been difficult and having a place that provides context for each of these events is so useful.

I generally refuse to participate in Bug bounty programs through intermediaries like HackerOne, because they severely restrict and delay your ability to disclose. After having been denied a bug bounty for reporting a vulnerability directly, and often spent frustrating amounts of time just trying to get a response even from major companies, I've basically given up completely on bug bounty programs, and will likely go for full disclosure in the future (with a note to the corresponding security team for awareness).

For smaller issues, the bounties often don't even fairly compensate the (usually significant) effort spent communicating with the security team if you value your time at a competitive hourly rate, and payment is hit or miss. Not worth giving up your right to talk about the issues in exchange.
As someone curious with formal proof systems, I am not sure it's a good idea to start from there if you still need to grasp elementary concepts. They are really technical stuff. It's like working on an advanced optimizing compiler when you still learning how to use a for loop.
Pretty much none of the features mentioned here have anything to do with E2EE security. How did you even try to get to such conclusion (besides really really trying to use it as a segway into your encryption rant)?!
I think thats the reason Oska (the creator) refers to it as a "toy" rather than a "game".

> I'm aware of the potential for data races to lead to data corruption in Go, although as an exploitable issue it seems a bit theoretical.

Go's language design says it doesn't care about this problem, Rust's language says it eliminates this problem. If you see these as basically the same because you also don't care about the problem, it seems like your original claim (that they're both safe) was simply wrong.

> There are also soundness bugs in Rust from time to time

To be absolutely clear here: Data races in Go are not "bugs". Go is specifically designed not to even be safe if you have a data race which touches compound types. Undefined behaviour, you lose, game over, the language designers have nothing further to say on the matter. If you raise a ticket saying "I had this race and now everything is on fire" in Golang it will get a WONTFIX or whatever the equivalent is.
I am not American, though I lived there. All I can say is that this polarization is a XXI century thing. People used to look at the parties less like part of their identities and more like something that a choice of values and trade-offs.

Anyway, I think that this has little to do with the main point. Left or right, the main issue is that the idea of "The Corporation" has helped tremendously to improve productivity, but it is used as a moral shield by individuals to justify their acts. No matter how high in the ladder someone is, as long as they want to go up, they are all complicit.
How To Solve It by Polya changed my mathematical life re proofs.
I'm not seeing a good reason to assume these people were any better at business requirements etc - if only because Google is going to be even less help with those.

We've had this before on HN. Student and work culture is changing from "Work it out for yourself because you're a skilled professional who understands how to solve real problems" to "Copy it from someone else without understanding anything about it because that's what you did to get your expensive degree."

It's not so much Google programming as Lego programming. And it's a terrible way to approach any kind of engineering, at any level.

Of course it's fine to import good existing solutions if you know what you're doing with them. But Lego programming is not that.
What is going on in the video of the C920 exposure test? It’s not clear if he’s changing lighting, changing camera settings, or letting the driver change some internal settings, but the view out the window is getting less and less overexposed while his face remains exactly as overexposed at each step. It’s like it’s exposing different parts of the frame differently and all poorly. WTF?
They do correlation with twitch though. Went there once to support a charity stream, and I got flying sims and among us in recommend for weeks (or maybe only a week?)
Cloudflare isn't software as a service so much as infrastructure as a service.

That's a surprising amount of pictures and IMPORTANT BOLD TEXT.

Hi, I’m the guy behind this code. First we roll the type of the gem: 1-star, 2-star or a ?/5-star and then if the rolled gem is ?/5-star, we determine the amount of stars that it will have using the probability array at the bottom of the code snippet, that you attached.
The problem is drivers seeing you. If you are in a serious crash it is probably going to be because they hit you, not from you hitting them. Motorists look for other road users they may be overtaking, but usually don’t expect to see oncoming traffic in their lane
I like that you're logging responses instead of just the result / payload. Reminds me of some idea I had of using something like queue as an intermediary between a webserver and the backend. I don't exactly remember my reasoning anymore right now
I've seen salt-water fast plans a number of times before and wouldn't mind trying one out since I do similar short experiments every now and them myself as well. Would you please mind explaining how you figured out dosage for everything you were taking, or what the doses were for you? I've tried a water fast before, but couldn't find a good spot between over-hydrated and under-hydrated.
Right. So you're not actually burning muscle - instead of fat - per se. Instead muscle wastes as the body isn't maintaining it.

While it's not a controlled study, History Channel's "Alone" (reality survivalist show) always touches on lack of food and its affects.
Wikipedia people are strange, they don't seem to value privacy at all. I interviewed as a privacy engineer and apparently the whole team would sit all day with their webcams on in a shared chat area, and when I suggested my first priority as a privacy or security engineer would be getting them onto a v3 onion service to reduce load on the network + allow folks to browse free from harm, then pair that with an insider threat program and allowing more folks to use MFA they acted like I was insane.

I actually ended up phoning up the recruiter to complain, because between that odd interaction and the job posting (wanting years of homomorphic encryption experience for a first tier privacy engineer position that was more like a glorified security engineer?) it felt more like an excuse to treat a job search as an intelligence gathering exercise.

(I've since deleted most of the information on my LinkedIn, and view my ban from Twitter + Reddit as possibly a blessing in diguise, since I've noticed a weird trend of folks who pretend to only focus on what is visible while obstructing others from obtaining whatever bullet points would make them "qualified" in the eyes of their literal cabal.

Later on my suspicions were confirmed when this news article came out:

That interview, paired with some conversations I had a CERT and RAND, plus some Defcon hallway convos, deeply disturbed me, though I regret I had the wrong country when I leaned across a table in an SEI interview and said I was happy to defensive work if my data only went to the Americans and not... the Russians.

I know my comment history is a bit... manic and/or erratic, but imagine you literally offered to do work that could have prevented breaches like Solarwinds (or mitigated their harm), and instead had folks quote lines from intercepted telephone conversations and your (out of the cloud) diary, like you were in some real life episode of Mr Robot.

For me, the season finale was declaring I was getting a weed card instead of a gun, only to have a broad coalition of Israelis and insurrectionists try to troll me into suicide.

This is what happens when you play games on my personal phone. I post hard on a Sunday and upvote the OP.

(Don't fuck with a phreak's phone -- and phreaking never died, it was just sleeping, like a parrot pining for the fjords.)
There’s probably a lesson to be learned here.

People care about these features. Tell you what: I care about these features! And I also care about e2ee but I care more about all the things I can’t do with e2ee enabled.

When it matters, I enable secret chats. In the early weeks of the war I used secret chats a ton to organise things (and I echo your observation that most people don’t know about them).

But it doesn’t matter all the time.

Messenger also has e2ee secret chats; they’re awful and don’t have 1/10th the features telegram’s chats have. Hell even telegram’s secret chats are more featureful than WhatsApp chats (which are all e2ee)

> That way they'll have vastly less money for advertising and lobbying.

You think that people eat meat because of lobbying and advertisting from the meat industry? Like tobacco, or alcohol? Or gambling? Is that the idea?
I wonder if you would also claim "rule of law" when let's say North Korea tries banning the German news infrastructure world-wide, or Iran bans depiction of unveiled women on the internet, or China starts going against Wikipedia with an enforceable worldwide ban because Tiannamen never happened.

It is the nature of an international network that you cannot reasonably expect your government's laws to have any say on a service run in another part of the world. If you do think your government SHOULD have a way to enforce their laws in another country, maybe the internet is not for your country.
My rule as a professor (who had actually worked as a dev in the past) was simple: I don’t care if you use code samples, but I will ask very specific questions on how it works and I really care if you don’t know.
I have started getting WhatsApp spam …
Heh, user confidence comes from the price. If the price goes near zero, many people will leave and never return.
webcams on linux with good driver support are not just for use by humans but in a myriad of industrial/embedded applications, for single image acquisition, etc.

don't just think about people using linux desktop PCs in home offices, but all forms of other use of camera systems.
Perhaps you haven't been keeping up with SpaceX but the only thing holding back orbital testing of Starship/Super Heavy currently is the FAA.

In the future it would behoove you to at least familirize yourself with a topic lest you make another ignorant statement.
This is maybe gonna be a little harsh but: https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-nonprogramming-programmer/

I'm guessing the reality in your case isn't quite as severe but that's sort of where some "jigglers" sit.

When I hear "I don't follow at all the academic approach" what I'm hearing is you don't even know what is actually taught in a CS degree. Might be wrong but that's what I'm hearing. A lot of it isn't really that academic but sure some of it is. I'm self-taught and I worked as a programmer before I got my CS degree (as a teenager) but my self studies included CS topics (algorithms and data structures etc.) and I never copied any code or "jiggled" anything when I got started, everything was written from zero. What I did occasionally do is implement algorithms (i.e. the algorithm is known, write the code, which I guess is a form of copying).

On the plus side you've obviously acquired some good skills doing all this and you are likely smart. If you're happy with where you are (let's call this a "Software Integrator" maybe) that's fine. If you want to become better you probably should put in the time and learn some of the things you've been avoiding either formally or on your own (unlike when I was a kid there's endless resources now).
They also publish a fully functional C library that makes building fully (!) featured 3rd party clients easy. They support everything - from Linux, Windows all the way to Tizen. You compile it into your app and it "just works" with all the features of the main client.

As a result, you have a large set of very good clients for pretty much all platforms.

Imagine if the FLOSS darlings like Signal would make something as amazing as this - a library any plaform (from RPi, watches, etc.) to implement the best possible secure client that fits the user.
A realsense camera, 2 hours worth of dev and OBS virtual cam and I could make a scattery POC of this :p
From the Obsbot site: "The OBSBOT Meet series hardware is able to work with both macOS and Linux, but we will not make the exclusive software for the Linux operating system."
I don't understand the business model / viability of dedicated webcams. Software like Elgato Epoccam or OBS is free or cheap, and the % of people who would benefit from a decent webcam and who don't own a modern smartphone is literally 0.
There's a little bit of an implication in the piece that Thiel's anti-China stance is bad. The implication is set up simply by juxtaposition with other more objectionable things. But, in isolation, it's reasonable. Like this:

> Thiel began to espouse increasingly strong anti-China views, including the belief that U.S. tech companies were harboring Chinese spies. In 2019 he claimed that Google, a longtime target of Thiel’s attacks, was being “infiltrated” by Chinese intelligence and called the company “treasonous.” He later attacked Apple for relying on China for its supply chain.

Like, Google probably does have CCP intelligence inside. And Apple's reliance on China is a problem. And, even though Google did originally have some Defense ties (especially via Eric Schmidt. Also connections to the Obama White House, and maybe to CIA (for Google Earth)), it absolutely has refused to work on Defense (project Maven; attempts to move Boston Dynamics out of Defense). Is he actually wrong here?

I would hope that America's Democrats are not going to be to China as Germany's Socialists and Greens are to Russia. And I don't think they are in general; remember the Pacific Pivot was Obama's.

Thiel can be right about this one thing.
Ok, even if it wasn’t very lucrative it most likely to become even less so.

> 99 Variations on a Proof

Thank you, I really enjoyed this so far. Probably going to read one per day or so and then think about it.
I think I understand your point, under ideal or almost ideal conditions most webcams can work fine.

However, most people are not graced with the understanding of lighting and how cameras work. There's lots of opportunity to compensate or at least guide people with better hardware and software. The work done with smartphone cameras is clear evidence of this.
In Portugal my younger brother was on the second year of software engineering at a university, I wanted to see his progress and how he programmed but was disappointed.

He did not know how to program at all.

The teachers were lazy and repeated the same exams and activities year after year. Too many students took the easy path and either copied the answers from previous years or would google some snippets.

Worst: teachers didn't care if the code would compile, they would grade the effort.

In the end students would pass the year with positive grades (public university) and my brother would graduate next year without knowing how to write code on his own.

I hope that not too many students follow that lazy path.
On Firefox desktop, I force literally all fonts -- serif, sans, what-have-you -- to Linux Libertine. Dingbats can look odd, but you get used to that.

For reasons I am sure I will never fathom, browsers on mobile provide all the same settings options, and religiously ignore them.
Your 2004 opinion might mean more if we knew how many horses ran.

This is only true in democracies. In autocracies like Russia and China they just do whatever the government tells them.
Windows 95 ran an entire OS with decent UI in 8 MB of RAM. One really has to wonder, where is all the RAM going these days? I think the knowledge of doing anything with only 8 MB of RAM has gone away, we don't know how to do it anymore.
I don't intend to mislead anyone.

> transport is a small part compared to land use change

Transport is a small part not only to land use change, but also to farming, animal feed and processing. See the graph.

> Plants are enough but you need B12 supplements? What for?

B12 is necessary vitamin. Most people get their B12 from animal-based foods. But animals do not produce B12, it just bioaccumulates in them. My argument is, that we can go directly to the source (e.g. bacteria) and make supplements instead from vegan sources, free of harm & suffering.
Outside of being great for cross-platform messaging, it's awesome for transferring files. Quick, no restrictions on file extensions, and I've yet to hit a size limit. Great for building an APK and shooting it off to my friends + other devices.

It's also great for piracy. There's a channel I'm in with links to updated Nintendo Switch modpacks as well as one for premium STL files.
i’d be first in line for thicker everything, but there is a lot more value in thickening the body of a laptop than the screen.
>"science is large enough and has enough history that it doesn't need the 24 hour news cycle to be interesting. In the sense that what you already know is news to most people, you can stay interesting without getting a scoop."

For additional evidence, consider how History Today articles often reach the front page of HN, about historical findings that haven't necessarily been published recently. There is certainly an interest for well-written timeless articles.
I also tried water fasting. Lost both fat and muscle (and I still have plenty of fat)
You can also build things with it.
Quite the opposite. I'm in the only country that does.
The reason is, in my opinion you both are achieving a feat that most people would be in awe of, but shrug it off as easy.

“Anyone can go 30 days without food. No prep needed. No big deal. Gets a bit boring though.”

Extraordinary claims require a bit more of a story and context at least.

The bar is higher online as an anyone can make an internet comment saying anything. Like “I wrestled a bear and won. Just gotta punch them right”.

Someone once said they did 3 days without food and I loved hearing about it. I would be happy if you brought it up in conversation about 30 days.
It can be experienced in a lot of situations. Buying a burrito from Chipotle means you have to make lot of choices before you get your burrito.

This means you become partly responsible for the quality of the product you pay for. If the burrito is bad, you are to blame because you chose the ingredients. I think that makes me anxious when in Chipotle's.

In programming it does slow your progress if you have to frequently spend time deciding which choice is the best. Not only anxiety but also plain lost time.
Right, the contract definitely allows Solend to seize the collateral at certain collateral ratios, but I can’t tell if this change just affects how they liquidate when that ratio hits, or it pre-emptively does so now, while the price is far from hitting that ratio.

Edit: okay it’s the latter. But remember this is not a seizure as in, just taking it, but also forgiving some of the debt at the same time.

Guess what... animal feed is substituted with B12.

Meat eaters were also advised to take vitamin D.

Lots of foods are already fortified with these vitamins.

I don't do anything extra other than eating a well balanced plant-based diet. Had my blood-work done recently (48 biomarkers) and it was all good. No deficiencies.

It is simple and definitely worth the effort - because the result will be not destroying our biosphere due to our meat & dairy addiction.
