Welcome to Vancouver Island
You're recommending this startup do DNSSEC. Can you rattle off some pre-acquisition startups of any note that have DNSSEC-signed their domains? Slack, for instance, is DNSSEC-signed (signing infamously took them off the Internet for the better part of a day) --- because Salesforce, their acquirer, required it; they did the same to Heroku (which also suffered a DNS outage).

My point is not so much to litigate DNSSEC itself (although I'll do that) as it is to establish the ground truth that DNSSEC-signing is not a norm among tech companies. It would be a particularly weird bit of ops overhead for a young startup to invest in.

If you'd like some tips on how to quickly test whether a startup (or a large list of them) have signed their domains, I'm happy to help.
Whoa there, that first link looks super sketchy. It seems like they just forked the original `CompVis/stable-diffusion` and replaced the license file in this commit:

I don't care if crypto is here to stay or not. All I care about is that I'm never forced to use it personally.
It's a thoughtful document and I appreciate the time it took to write it.

I think there may be a missing factor in their decision-making process. I'll quote the document itself: "We also believe that an Internet where cyberattacks are used to silence what's online is a broken Internet, no matter how much we may have empathy for the ends."

That seems correct to me. It is intuitively understandable how it applies to some people who want Kiwifarms to go away. It is, perhaps, less clear how it applies to Kiwifarms itself, so let's dig into that some.

First: if it's bad to use cyberattacks to silence what's said online, it's presumably also bad to use other forms of attack to silence what's said, online or otherwise.

Second: does Kiwifarms (or sites like instant-stresser.com, noted in another comment) overall have a silencing effect?

That's a hard determination to make! I actually wouldn't want to be in the business of making that decision. You need to have a clear public rubric and evaluation process, you should be very transparent about it, and you should be willing to defend your decisions and not allow your criteria to slip based on pure public opinion. I am heartened by their description of their ability to make that decision for the Daily Stormer and hold to their principles despite attempts to create slippage -- that tells me that, as an organization, Cloudflare is capable of making nuanced decisions.

However, we shouldn't avoid hard decisions just because they're hard, or even because we might make mistakes from time to time. We should do a real risk analysis, evaluate the effect of making mistakes, and compare that to the effect of not making decisions at all.

I'd encourage Cloudflare to go back and consider whether or not the principle of maximizing the ability to speak has implications about providing services to sites which are in the business of making fun of people -- sometimes lethally -- for things they say.
What would have been a better way to handle it? From personal experience, I've overlooked header/footer retractions on material before and referenced things only to have the retraction point out to me later.

Complete removal of the article isn't ideal, and it's less error prone.

I appreciate that the old articles aren't 404'd, they redirect to the retraction so any other sites linking continue to work.

I'm not sure that it is the main purpose of KiwiFarms. There appears to be a large number of posts not related to any of that behavior. I don't use KiwiFarms so maybe I just don't know where all these doxing posts are?

Also, due to the sheer size, Twitter and the others almost certainly have significantly more of these types of posts.
Actually people often didn't sleep fine at all. Or let's see some evidence that they did because I don't believe you. I know my own grandparents complained about being unable to sleep soundly during the summer when they lived in New York without AC.
This is open source. Github Copilot is not.
The joke is that anything medical you search for online you'll end up having your greatest fears validated, rather than get helpful and balanced insight.

Or rather, all online diagnoses are cancer.
Different people care about different features. If you want fractional scaling and can't get it on X11, use Wayland. If you want AHK, use X11. Unfortunately, neither option currently has all the features of the other.
Thank you for these informative comments.
Agreed - Firefox have very legit, useable workflows for avoiding tracking while still having the web function for you. Chrome has IMO a purposefully unusable approach. It’s theatre, they give you the option, but that option breaks the web so badly that you’re not going to want to use it. Which makes sense, they’re an ad sales company, tracking is crucial to their business.
Yes, if you are elderly or have otherwise compromised health, heat will kill you, because that's just a thing. As your body degrades you get less good at regulating your temperature and need support. That's just a different topic from "I can't live without air conditioning", which, healthy people can. And specifically, pushing yourself to be in a particularly hot environment for a couple of weeks can significantly expand your heat tolerance.
iPhone hardware sales account for 50% of Apple's revenue, and that number goes up significantly when you allocate revenue from Apple Care, services, ads, App Store and more that are directly driven by iPhone. The entire company is reliant on that one device, so not quite as diversified as people think.
Yeah I was about to mention this, or really any other highly synchronized activity with a degree of improvisation involved. Very cool feeling doing this kind of thing.

I think the point of studies like this using a video game, though, is that it's a lot more reproducible.
I'm not sure why your first example of Amazon producing TV shows is Amazon mini shorts.

They've been making Amazon originals for years, including an upcoming TV series on this little franchise called Lord of the Rings which was the most expensive TV series ever made with a $1 billion budget.
Show HN: An opinionated and statically-typed TypeScript SDK generator
Hi Hacker News!

My name is Sagar, I’m working on a startup called Speakeasy - we’re making all APIs self-service. The platform is currently in beta, but we’re independently launching this tool which you can use to generate language-idiomatic, statically-typed TS SDKs from any public OpenAPI schemas. We hope to continue iterating on this to give devs a way to easily generate high fidelity client SDKs for all the major languages.

Inspiration for this product is from past experiences struggling with OpenAPI. I was originally optimistic about using the OpenAPI tools to build out our offering, but quickly realized that the tools left a lot to be desired, and would not have provided our end users with the developer experience we wanted. While it’s not exhaustive, we’ve tried to address some of the biggest gaps in this tool:

* Low-dependency - To try and keep the SDK isomorphic (i.e. available both for Browsers and Node.JS servers), we wrap axios, but that’s it.This is intended to be idiomatic typescript; very similar to code a human would write; with the caveat that the typing is only as strict as the OpenAPI specification.

* Code just like a human would write - At this point static typing is everywhere. So wherever possible, we generate typed structures, construct path variables automatically, pass through query parameters, and expose strictly typed input / output body types.

* Future direction - There’s value in being neutral, but we felt like there is more value in being opinionated. In the future we’ll add features like built-in Pagination, Retries (Backoff/Jitter etc), Auth integrations, which should be handled in the SDK.

We’re planning to continue improving this service, so would love to hear what you think of the choices we’ve made, the issues we should address next, and what languages we should work on supporting.
They have a track record of brutal, lengthy harassment that has already pushed at least one person to take their own life after years of abuse.
You are right, I am. Now I understand the DNSSEC setup.
> Those warnings from the US are usually transparent geopolitical self interest. That’s not to say it’s incorrect, ...

All countries speak for their own self interest... but the warnings can also be correct.

If millions of Europeans freeze or starve, that hurts the US greatly too. Their economies are deeply intertwined, and there's enough shared history that many in in the US would feel it personally.

> just that Europe does not need the US new world bumpkins to teach them about energy policy or dictate its foreign relations. It is perfectly capable of managing and mismanaging its own interests.

All countries manage their own interests; no one would expect otherwise. But thinking "they're new world bumpkins, they have nothing worth listening to" is a terrible idea. Sometimes the new kid on the block has learned something. The US is often happy to steal good ideas from anyone, regardless of age. The US has lots of problems (who doesn't?), but it also has many advantages - not just due to the "luck of the draw", but due to careful investment to turn potential advantages into real ones.
Awesome project, work and all (seriously). Don't let your self distract from it. Thanks for making it will use.
As I said in another comment, I feel certain (based on my own direct experience working for a publication that faced numerous lawsuits over what in those cases were factual articles) that this was a condition of a legal settlement.

And the thing is, you settle in this case because even though the defamation bar is really high, if your sourcing was wrong (and you maybe didn't do the best job of vetting that sourcing) and the more complicated aspect is that your source was later indicted in relation to a crime directly connected to the information they shared as the basis of that article, this seems like a pretty straightforward "settle it and move on" scenario, rather than trying to fight it in the courts. Barring the largesse of a large news organization (who also might choose to settle, as the Washington Post did with that kid in DC, even though the New York Times and others were years later found to not have defamed him), this is probably not the sort of thing you want to spend the potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting. Because at the end of the day, the reporting was still flawed.
I can find videos of people dying in car crashes, too, but that doesn't make every soccer mom in a minivan the equivalent of an F1 driver. Everything involves risk.

Yes, you can die on Everest if you're unprepared, or unlucky. The same can happen in the Adirondacks.

I'm far more interested in the stories of folks like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirmal_Purja than plain old Everest summiters, which has been conquered by folks from age 13 to 80, double amputees, and the blind. (Those folks, I'm interested in. Tech CEOs looking for a thrill? Nah.)
Ahh, that makes a lot of sense!

I have tried podcasts like that before (Farnam Street's "The Knowledge Project" comes to mind), but I found that often the guests weren't always interesting to me. If the hit-rate wasn't high enough I'd end up unsubscribing.

Derek Sivers tried doing the reverse, his podcast feed was every interview he'd done on other people's podcasts. So he was always the guest, but it introduced me to new podcasts & hosts I'd never heard of. That's actually how I found The Knowledge Project (and I did love the Knowledge Project interview with Annie Duke, who wrote Thinking In Bets).

Edit: Guess I should link those episodes for anyone who might be interested:

I still don't understand why it took Krebs so long or why he insisted on trusting his insider so much without any corroborating evidence.
It is not "less clear" how this applies to Kiwifarms. Their TOS says they "may" remove content that:

"Is otherwise illegal, harmful, or violates the rights of others, including content that discloses sensitive personal information, incites or exploits violence against people or animals, or seeks to defraud the public."

Kiwifarms doxxing and swatting is documented six ways from Sunday, and it's hardly just keffals.

That that looks rly helpful. I’ll check that out tonight, thanks for sharing
Hmm interesting, I appreciate your response. I'll do some exploring and maybe find another way to apply my skills that'd be more fulfilling.

Is an 'inland lake' different to an 'offshore lake'?
“Much like HTML forms a description of a webpage—which can be hosted anywhere on the internet—and is retrieved and rendered locally by a web browser, USD is a protocol for describing complex virtual scenes which can be retrieved and rendered to varying degrees depending upon local hardware capabilities. With a ‘USD browser’ of sorts, Nvidia is suggesting that USD could be the common method by which virtual spaces are defined in a way that’s easy for anyone to decipher and render.“

Interesting approach, but I think a good XR experience is much more “declaration” of a scene, interactions will be important. I suspect the end result will need this USD with some kind of semantic graph to process relations.
Um, I really hope I’m incorrect on this but is the green bit that has flooded fertile farmland next to a river? I’m asking if a famine will be a down stream result of this catastrophe.

I disagree with CloudFlare's distinction between "hosting" and "security services". From a technical perspective, CloudFlare is still holding the TLS certs[0] for servers behind their reverse proxy and fronting the bandwidth for those sites. Legally speaking, there is also no basis for this distinction; the law does not chase pointers.

The CloudFlare argument dances around the central complaint people have with their service today. That is, distributing personal information is a cyberattack. Doxxing and harassment are forms of speech-shaped censorship that exists to cause people to stop talking and delete their account. Forums that act as clearinghouses for dox are using their reverse proxy, and CloudFlare refuses to act against a violation of their own AUP under the belief that this would somehow create a precedent against other sites we don't find abhorrent.

My nightmare scenario is actually the opposite: CloudFlare does not act on harassment campaigns, someone important gets mad about it, and they pass a law creating a new kind of intermediary liability specifically designed to force CloudFlare to do so. The history of intermediary liability[1] is such that most companies do not bother defending their customers over it, and just chuck it to automated systems or underpaid and overworked reviewers that will operate on a guilty-until-proven-guilty system. And like I mentioned, the law will not respect CloudFlare's internal distinction between origin and proxy servers.

So we have two choices:

1. CloudFlare enforces their AUP on at least the most obvious targets of criticism.

2. They do nothing until some country makes them do something, and the state of Internet hosting gets slightly worse.

We're currently on track #2 here. Safe harbors are something the EFF and friends had to fight for, and they are being slowly chipped away at as platforms get more and more power that they either do not use or abuse.

I think this is true if you only really have one or two computers you use ssh from regularly but if you have a few or you get new ones frequently you can get back to that experience of not having to frequently generate and distribute public keys by using a yubikey to sign local keys and then your authorized_keys only needs the cert authorization in it.
History going back to 1600s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madras_Presidency

The British East India Company purchased the village of Madraspattinam in 1639 and established Fort St. George. Post Independence, in 1947, it became Madras Province. When India formally became a republic in 1950 , it became Madras State. At the time, it covered the geographic area encompassing the entire state of present day Tamilnadu, almost all of Kerala, parts of Karnataka (where Bengaluru is) and parts of Andhra Pradesh (which is today bifurcated into two states, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana). The capital of the province was also named Madras and during the 1960s, after the restructuring of states on linguistic lines resulted in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Madras State, the political movement to rename Madras State to Tamilnadu gained momentum and succeeded. The state became Tamilnadu and the captial city remained Madras.

In 1998, the City of Madras was renamed to Chennai as part of a move to reclaim an older history. Chennai is from the name of a ruler of the region predating 1600s named Chennappa Naicker.

The city's history shows up when international travelers arrive at the Chennai Internation Airport (which still has the airport code MAA).

Many cities in India have moved from their anglicised names to their pre-British local names as part of a revival of nationalism. Bombay -> Mumbai, Calcutta -> Kolkata are some examples.

similar work using Stable Diffusion in a Photoshop plugin:

Note that using a CA cert with SSH (or putting a host cert in DNS, etc) expands the attack surface for your server from just that server to the server + the CA's servers + the CA's employees + potentially other CA's + whatever governments are able to compel the CA['s] to issue a MITM cert for your server.

For big organizations security is by-definition lax (you have to trust lots of non-trustworthy employees), but there's no reason to accept this compromise for smaller companies or personal use.
It is deeply weird to read the sentence "We also believe that an Internet where cyberattacks are used to silence what's online is a broken Internet, no matter how much we may have empathy for the ends." as a defense of KiwiFarms.

> national security information

The word national security used to mean protecting a country just invaded, then moved to troops on the border looking like they'll invade. Now you've stretched it to the government doing mass surveillance on its citizens (and storing it forever). During COINTELPRO, Hoover and his secret political police in the FBI spied on and worked to anonymously disrupt feminist groups and other political organizations, and this is just a continuation of that - set up in secret incidentally. I don't see how some elite trying to set up a police state to exert political control has anything to do with national security. Luckily the FBI raided Trump recently, so Republican wariness may have them go back to that old idea of a Republican secretary of state that "gentlemen do not read each others' mail".
Twitter mobs can drive people to get fired, websites or companies to shut down... But KF literally drives people to suicide or calls in fake situations to get a SWAT team to ambush a home and in the hopes they shoot the people they are harassing.

People are worried more about ending a website than they are worried about ending actual lives.
When you say "less deadly" in regards to nuclear compared to windmills, you mean "less deadly for birds", right?

Not that it diminishes your point, being less deadly for birds is a legitimate factor. I am just curious if you omitted the "for birds" part or if windmills are deadly for humans in some way as well.
>In the US or UK media orgs generally has very little to fear in terms of actual punishment, but they do have to make a very real calculus over whether they're serving the public interest.

not true. media organizations that do not report in accordance with and to the governments favour may lose preferential access to press conferences as retaliation. their parent companies, viacom, CBS, and Warner for example, may lose the cooperation of the government on their next latest action film which may deny them access to state parks or military equipment and bases for filming and props. When you publish something the government doesnt like, they can also just straight up seize your profits from that material as well. https://www.businessinsider.com/us-government-can-seize-prof...

television news in the united states is under no objective requirement to serve the public interest in the 21st century. the news was originally provided as part of a service to the mandate from the FCC that license holders contribute to the public good, but modern news is partisan, divisive, appeals extensively to emotion, and uses manipulative scare tactics to drive viewership and ratings with a combination of conjecture and talk shows.
