Well you shut down the idea yourself, would be completely non-viable due to jurisdiction issues, unless you'd want to follow the US position and even then you'd run into issues.

The biggest problem I'd say isn't necessarily the websites themselves but stuff like the app store and google play store, and things like infrastructure providers. Having your social media be removed from the apple store/google play store is basically killing them in the mass market, and we all know how incredibly selective they are especially when it comes to forbidding platforms that may contain porn(like tumblr for example and initially gab) while also but still allow twitter that is completely inundated with it. And that's before mentioning the downright mental idea that payment processors can just decide to not work with you anymore.

The social media itself I feel is the least of the things that would benefit from being treated closer to a public "utility" for the lack of a better word.

We're way past the point where people can just build their own stuff and be independent when targeting a significant audience(and sometimes even a smaller niche one), you need the support of payment providers, you need the support of app stores, you need the support of ddos mitigation companies/cdn's (especially in a post IOT world where your toaster is part of a botnet), and the list goes on.
I was dumb and they have details for two physical cards + a virtual card that I use in a few other places + my personal phone number that is still pretty hard to find + my personal email address as I used 'sign in with Google' when I recently set it up in a rush instead of my normal 'services/spam' email :(

So yeah not great, but also too much effort to pre-emptively revoke anything so I'll just hope that the fallout isn't too bad.

Comment threads like this baffle me as someone who just like, eats reasonable meals.

I don't get it at all. There's all of these "strategies". Fasting? Skipping meals?

Mate, just cook food at regular intervals and make sure you don't sit in a chair all day.

No-one I know does any of this. Is it just that Americans spend too much time in the car or what?
$HOME/src/{domain}/{org}/{repo}, which was stolen from the hierarchical organization of Golang bin / pkg / src, albeit one level closer to $HOME than $HOME/go/src.

For a developer named foo with a GitHub account, a repo named bar would, for example, be found at $HOME/src/github.com/foo/bar.
$HOME/var/<whatever> for things I'm actually working on, there's a "src" there but its for "reference" sources that I'm not working on. Clean copies of stuff I'm hacking, and other "read only" code goes there.

This simply isn't true. There are LOTS of fields where you're more than free to hang a shingle and run your own business, even hiring your own employees, but not without the credential.

Lawyers can have their own firms. Doctors can have their own practices. LOTS of psychotherapists have their own practices. There's nothing "slow lane" about it for the ones who do it well.

But if they don't have the requisite credential, they get shut down.
Absolutely do! I was reading John Calhoun's Disquisition on Government, which is not very long, but extremely dense, and full of those passages that sound at first as though they mean the opposite of the author's point, but work around to it by degrees. I struggled with it for a while before I realized that the wordiness was a disguise for poor or non-existent reasoning — at least, that's how it seemed to me — and went to read something better.
It's amazing how many times Chareles Darwin's book is mistitled: "The origin of species" The correct title is "On the origin of species".
> Why should we consider them public spaces when they are private companies?

As the other commenter is suggesting a change to the status quo, what legal status they have now isn't important, but instead what matters is role they serve in society.

Personally I think the US idea of freedom of speech is too anarchic to be sustainable, but even with that, the de-facto power that Big Tech has over communication (and commerce) means I think Big Tech should be held to a similar standard in this regard as any government.

"Also considered safer"?

The article is interesting and the solution great but saying it is safer because Rust is misleading. I wrote a Rust milter for Postfix incorrectly and although it didn't crash as such, it completely didn't work because data was coming into it from outside. i.e. it is still possible to write broken code in Rust.

I've personally never considered nginx unsafe either but tbh, I am not exactly an nginx guru on the cutting edge of performance or load.

Other features:

Voting
If you’re feeling strongly about a search results, you can up or downvote the listing to voice your opinion. When you vote, you’ll be asked to state why you voted. This gives other users better insights into the listing.

Collections
With collections you can easily save and keep track of all of your favorite listings. Collections can be public or made private, and they’re easily edited, reordered, and shared.

Submissions
If you find that we’re missing a result for a particular query, you can easily submit it as a suggestion. We’ll review it, and publish it if it makes the cut.

We'd love to know what you think, and if you think the idea has legs.

Thank you,
Tyler

Was curious if the Cloudfare team evaluated other languages for this effort (I thought they used Golang quite a bit at the company).
I'm not pre-emptively revoking my card either. In this case the decision should be up to the issuer, not me. They have more or at least the same information as me and it's their money that's at risk.
Here's my "me too" — I've been happily using rclone for things like photo archives (together with my small consistency checker to check file hashes for corruption https://github.com/jwr/ccheck). I also use Arq Backup with B2 as the destination. This gives me very reasonable storage costs and backups I can access and test regularly.
I'm sure it can be frustrating, the idea of employees who don't seem to be sufficiently diligent, and then expect IT to drop everything to fix problems that the employee caused.

Ideally, the IT department is empowered to work proactively on effective infosec, for all of the company's real-world situations.

Then the standard for responsibility of each non-IT employee is only good faith compliance with what IT dept. told them -- not to be an IT expert who can reason about infosec tactics and strategy.
I carried all of my kids on the front. It puts me more at ease when I can keep an eye on them, and I'm sure I don't bump them into stuff inside the house. However, it makes it more difficult if you want to work, like for example wash the dishes.
What harm can be done to me, as an uber user that has their cc data in the uber system by this?

Arq is a GUI client that stores your backups in the location you set it up for. See screenshot in the "Back up to your own cloud account." section on https://www.arqbackup.com.
I'm Canadian and recently diagnosed diabetic, and my doctor gave me one of out of his 'free sample' box.
It worked great at first (for a few days) then it stopped working. I assume I had banged it too much so I went to the pharmacy and bought one (no prescription needed) and had the pharmacist apply it. It cost ~$200. That one stopped working after 2 days. So I go back into the pharmacy to request a new one and they said: Call the number on the box, they will send you a new one. So it happens often enough that they know the little arm-patch devices are not dependable.

This was not one of the fancy kinds that are usually integrated with an insulin pump. It applied to the back of my arm.

Now I poke my finger 2-5 times a day.
It was nice having data on my phone that I could look at, but that data was still locked to my device and not exportable so it was worthless.

I use Google Sheets to keep track, and I can do it anywhere AND do something useful with the data.
I cannot get over the stupidity of a system, that would proclaim a complete foreigner as king of the whole goddamn country. And this was only 300 years ago, and this system was presumably supported by highly educated people.
Maybe slight tweak to this "the world is a melting point, it just melts very slowly :)"
The most important part if the blog entry is that they are building on top of async Tokio but not Hyper, so other companies can probably consider Tokio as production ready for large scale workloads.
Most of the developer at my company (Nextcloud) are former contributors to Nextcloud or other open source projects. So definitely yes.

Converting Energy into Matter: What It Means
Well, they got run over by a whole lot of Vikings who were fond of French food in 1066. Having Norman French as the ruling language for a few hundred years helped muddy English. People have commented that the animal name is often Anglo saxon (cow, pig) while the meal name is French (beef, pork). Don’t know when English started stealing words and the like from all languages but it’s real good at it now. And quite sloppy with rules vs. Related languages.

Dallas and Houston are almost as big (with worse crime rates) and barely make the news. They are also in a Republican state, so Fox News, talk radio, and the like don’t focus on their issues. It’s political. They don’t actually care about crime in these places.

Obscurity, by itself, may be an ineffective security strategy, but it does provide an additional layer on top of other layers of security to improve things, overall. There's a Spafford quote on this, but I'm failing to find it. Let's just pretend it's like what I said, but more eloquent.
Was mining really done in "data centers"?
I must be missing something here, but last I checked 32bit float uses about 8bits for metadata —- positive / negative, exponent, etc. — leaving 24bits for signal storage. A 32bit uint can just store the bits of raw data and would allow for denser packing of bits.

You can then do processing with a 64bit float after converting the int’s bits without loss.

Pretty sure every ADC IC I looked at uses integers. During analog processing, using the term “float” is highly disingenuous for an analog waveform, and if an ADC spouts out an int, what float are we talking about here?

I maybe have gone too deep in the weeds reading TI chip manuals and writing drivers for some adc chips for my 8 channel, 32bit, 192kHz recording system, and maybe I missed some nuances in what “32bit” means, but last I checked my audio is pretty solid even after converting the 32bit int to 64bit float during my signal processing.

Audio engineering has been a massive pain because these people use different terms for basic things (great example is “phantom power” — it’s just a 48v, low-current power supply, but good luck finding a simple answer to that useless term) and there doesn’t seem to be any authoritative references to find answers, so I am sure I am missing something here.
Nuclear Power Still Doesn’t Make Much Sense
Relative DNS can be super useful.

For example, you could have a project where, by convention, the app servers are just called as http://app/ the db servers are called as db etc. Saves lots of configuration effort. All you have to do is have a local DNS zone that keeps the traffic within its current setup.

That way you don't even need separate app configuration for separate environments, and can transport an application and its configuration without changes into the next environment.

(Sole exception: you likely want to inject different cryptographic keys to deal with (mutual) authentication).
I'm really bothered by the way you casually conflate an actual war in the middle east---the longest war in American history, by the way---with a metaphorical war on domestic violent extremism and neonazism. these are two very different things.
> In fact, many of them seem to support anti-BDS laws and such.

This is a fairly easily to verify claim. Now of course it's not going to be all of them, but a large chunk from what I've seen.

It's certainly more concrete than OP saying:

> The people getting arrested in the streets of Edinburgh were the same people who have been arguing to take away free speech and privacy rights from others.

Then providing nothing to back up the claim.
You could make a backup of one text file. If you can restore that then you can likely restore something 1E9 larger.

Ask HN: Which job site is as sophisticated as Stackoverflow Jobs?
There are two basic technologies that could get things under control:

Capability based security[1] is the best choice, but isn't widely available outside of very specialized environments. *Like java/javascript - Capability Based Security is NOT the same as "capabilities" on your smartphone for "Allow Location Services" in your phone, etc.

Unidirectional Networks[2] are a product you can buy right now. Quite simple and un-hackable, they only allow data to flow in the direction desired. There are often a pair of servers set up on either side to act as a proxy compatible with normal network services such as tcp/ip, ftp, www, file stores, etc.

With these two tools, you can build systems that only allow desired data flows required for the desired behavior and inhibit external injection of control.

My cynical explanation: fund managers know that companies don't make money on smart people who care. There are few of them and they are too smart (and usually too poor too) to profit off anyway, not worthy of worrying. Profits are made of dumbasses, they don't care about data leaks anyway.
I've been doing that via truenas scale for the past year. The upload job hangs then fails. There must be a bad permission or filename somewhere, but I don't know what the right tool is for debugging this so I've just put it off. If anything's missing it can't be large (judging from the space taken on B2).
