> At the end, when Napoleon lost, remains of Polish military units were sent to Haiti to help France to maintain their colonies.

Just a minor correction, the Polish were sent to Haiti in 1802, way before Napoleon had started losing.

Your bus factor is the problem here, not your 2FA system.

"I absolutely need full access to systems while working on a random device using only my password" means that phishing gives all the keys to the kingdom and that you don't have systems in place to make sure things work when people go on vacation.
I always wondered why physical shops offered a much worse experience in many ways than online ones, even taking into account the obviously insurmountable logistical advantage of the latter. I mean you'd expect them to at least try to have better service?

The answer of course is that their only choice is to focus on their captive audience (people who can't or won't buy online) and extract as much as possible until the music stops.

A similar thing is ironically happening to Netflix

Epik has owned this market (at least for the US alt-right) for years, and AFAIK Parler is still hosted and registered there.
Land is land. People are people. Nation states are neither. Just because gemstones were mined in a geographic area doesn't mean that they morally belong to whoever currently resides/rules in that area.

Once the *people* involved in a specific historical event are long gone it's tenuous to imply that the descendants of those parties have a moral obligation to each other. Inheritance is going to be inequitable regardless--it's questionable to assume that anyone deserves to inherit even justly acquired property. So trying to unravel history and decide who deserves what inheritance is ridiculous, even more so when nation states are involved.

We have statutes of limitations for good reasons.
>But maybe I should worry less about those.

Absolutely you should. If you find it interesting, there's a much >0 chance someone else will as well. People complaining about "why on HN" are just grouches that need to get out of their comfort zone more often. If other people on HN do not find it interesting, it will not get many up votes. Don't let them put baby in the corner.
If anything pops up on my screen that I didn't explicitly consent to for that time (i.e. reminder, downtime notifications) I consider that an ad. Software asking for an update while I didn't explicitly open it = same shit.

In other words every distraction that tries to get my attention that I haven't asked for is something I consider very very annoying.
Slightly off Topic, but I'm on Windows 10 Professional - latest version/updates and I've never been offered the News and Interests taskbar widget. Perhaps because Location is greyed out/disabled (though of course my desktop does not have a GPS...) but I suspect most people don't have location/GPS in their PC. Not that I miss it.

Even on my Legion 5 laptop, nothing, though my wife's Legion Y540 does have it. I suspect there's something funky that has it blocked on my Microsoft Account, but I can't imagine what.

I believe the lack of using Hyper was so they could be more flexible in what nonstandard parts of HTTP they could support, e.g. status codes into the 900s.
I don’t think so. The question is: for any given file, what is the likelihood that if I restore it, there will be some corruption? (Total loss, bitrot, anything)

For the purposes of this calculation, you would probably use the average size of a stored file, determine the number of chunks that was split into, and then the likelihood of losing/corrupting a chunk.

By looking at the durability of objects, you (a) reinforce the object-store nature of S3, and (b) avoid reporting “durability per kb”, which isn’t linear, and more difficult to interpret.

Honestly, the durability number is so high, that adding the bytes as a unit would just make it difficult to reason about. And S3 doesn’t store “bytes” — it stores objects (made of bytes). So, that’s the metric they chose to focus on.
My switch to macOS coincided with Windows 8 starting to gain traction and most people still used 7 or even XP. My expectations are thus stuck where they were with Windows 7, which is the last version I used a my main OS.

Now imagine the horror every time I have to do something on modern Windows. There was a period when I worked on a cross-platform library, which I sometimes had to build and test on Windows. It took me quite much effort to get my Windows 10 VM into an annoyance-free configuration — that included uninstalling stuff like Microsoft Store and Edge, too. And that's me, a guy who knows what he's doing, most of the time.

There are two things that blow my mind: how much user-hostile most of mainstream software products have become, and how much people are willing to tolerate that. "That's just what computers are like."

And yes, I do know some people who still use Windows 7. And I also wonder if it's possible to run Windows 7 userspace on top of the Windows 10 kernel.
I'm sure one of the Pro camera apps will let you specify the lens manually.
It is intellectually dishonest to use marginal cost here and not average cost.

A transactions costs $60, in the sense that all transactions together over some period, say N, cost $60*N over that period.

That is invisible to the user insofar as it is financed through an increase in money supply [1] which accrues to the miners at the expense of all other BTC holders.

[1] Increase in money supply is sometimes, particularly by Austrian economists and crypto acolytes, identified with inflation. The irony...

Withholding your money and then when you (rightfully) sue them for that, retaliating and kicking you off the platform entirely?
> (Webauthn by design requires physical hardware tokens, not cloud storage.)

That's not true. As an obvious reductio ad absurdum, you could just build a fake USB driver that presents as a security key. But more practically, I'm pretty sure that iOS the Webauthn secrets are synced cross-device via iCloud.

Wouldn't "switches to" have been a better word instead of "ditches" which implies they are getting rid of it? Considering Nginx is an old and reliable FOSS software...

What precedent would it set for developers when 10 years down the line, a new shiny tool would just "ditch" the result of their hard work?
Society objectively degenerated since the start of the covid scam. To pretend otherwise in being willfully blind to the changes we saw.

Unchecked authoritarianism in democratic countries. House arrest of healthy people. Telling people that they do not have the right to run a legal business. Heavy censorship and lack of debate. Treating others as vectors of disease instead of fellow humans is not in any way positive for society. Coercion of a rushed, not fully tested "vaccine" onto a general public, the vast majority of whom did not need it. We have demonized having a common cold, while at the same time normalized young people having heart attacks and stokes. Since the vaccine rollout excess deaths are not notably down, so it's very debatable that they have "saved lives".

https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps#excess-mortality

All for what objectively amounts to a bad flu - age adjusted 2020 showed the same number of deaths as 2008 in the UK. 2003 in terms of non adjusted numbers.
I think you are responding to something the GP never said or implied.

Meta wants you to think you are in charge of what you see but it isn't true and hasn't been for a while now. The algorithm decides. It acts as an editor pulling together a site tailored to whatever it thinks will maximize Meta revenue.
If such blockchain would be truly distributed (a-la Ethereum or BTC) then it's bandwidth would be atrocious for an MMO, or it would require some insanely powerful and centralised nodes to handle this, or it would use some L2 solution which would mean a lot of exploits and bugs in the game due to async issues.

Or the the blockchain would be centralised and so useless.

This idea fails even in the abstract.

For onsite backups, is it a valid option to buy a spindle of blu-ray discs and swap away until you have another copy of everything with enough par files included to account for a few years of bit rot?

Or is copying everything to a new, larger hard drive every year and keeping a few years of drives still the best choice?

Edit: for personal use, for sure! I think BD-R goes up to 100GB.
The biggest issue (for me when writing about it) is that it's really hard to do this when most keys and values in any source or screenshot are internal to the company. I could go and clean it up with placeholder data, but at that point I'm essentially doing my work twice.

> sometimes

All fully-qualified domain names end with a dot. The dot is effectively the label for the DNS root. Most tools (e.g. browsers) automatically assume a trailing dot.

[Edit] Interestingly, if I add a dot to this URL, after the domain-name, it works, and I get essentially the same content; but the styling is quite a bit different. I imagine it must be to do with the way stylesheets are referenced from HTML.

[Edit-2] I deprecate the use of the term "DNS root" to refer to the domains .com, .net, .org etc. These are top-level domains, not "roots".

There is a single root, and it's name is dot.

Democracy isn't a king of the hill match, if some loonies managed to take over the capitol they'd just get siege'd out.

The last time I actually used Windows without just experimenting or building in a VM was also 7. For the very same reasons.

I was a Linux user as long as I understand computers, so doing the switch from Windows to MacOS for work gave me no relief either. Still a locked down OS with weird quirks. But something they really did right is building a distraction free working environment. Literally the one thing I want from a working computer.
As a business you'd have to pay taxes, deal with customer support, accept multiple currencies, etc, so even when accepting cryptocurrency payments it's likely you would use a payment processor. Those payment processors would probably be just as reliable as the fiat ones... (hell they'll probably be the same companies)

Remember, Stripe is not known to be reliable, just convenient. People will go for the convenience with cryptocurrency as well, there is no reason to believe otherwise.
So they do charge fees (for you and the seller, also a user). Sounds like a problem with the company you require permission from.

If irreversible transactions worry you, use an intermediary; the way you already use credit instead of cash (which requires no permissions).

Any single currency?
I would imagine doing tls for millions of ps5s worldwide would register a blip, but it seems bonkers that psn is still using http. Maybe that's how it got hacked so much
S3 max filesize is 5TB, so with that you'd have to have atleast 8 archive files. You can use byteranges to fetch only a single file out of it if you have the means to determine that range.
I don't doubt he is a narcissist, but I think it's much more likely that someone else is maintaining the site for him, and thus the royal "we," as opposed to him speaking in first person. If you go to the Contact page, it references his management agency - I would assume they maintain the site, and he just asked for his library to be posted. Still narcissism, just maybe slightly less.
It’s just a question of “is it worth it?”. How much does this cool accelerator thing cost? How much does it save?
The real issue here isn't that an algorithm flagged it, but that a "human" reviewed it and upheld the ban. Either a human didn't actually review the film or there's a serious lack of training.

So we have two possible worlds:

1. We build 1TW of solar panels, PoW mining uses that 1TW to do useless work.

2. We don't build 1TW of solar panels, and don't do that additional 1TW of useless work.

Worlds 1 and 2 have the same impact on the electricity grid. But in world 1, we're emitting a whole lot of CO2 and consuming a whole lot of rare materials to build solar farms and electronics, while in world 2 we don't. Clearly world 2 is better for the environment?

Can confirm I had grammar for testing for various profanity and took that into consideration for whether to send to customer service in the IVR apps I developed.

The client really didn't want people sent to live agents if at all possible, as they only had a certain low number of agents and wanted to keep it that way, so we had extra prompts that tried to convince the user to give the app a try first before we did a transfer to an agent, but it was something that could start the process off.

And this was an IVR app for a Fortune 500 corporation, not a small company.
This is exactly the kind of course I’ve wanted to do for some time now. Even before stable diffusion it felt like other media synthesis applications like StyleGAN were what I wanted to learn, but most machine learning courses focus on more traditional data science topics.

Of course you can start with a more traditional course and then learn something like stable diffusion afterwards, but as a newbie it’s quite hard to figure out where to even start. A full-fledged course that takes you exactly where you want to go is a lot easier and I think it can help learners to stay motivated because they have a clear goal in mind. If I want to learn how to create cool images, I want to spend as little time as possible predicting housing prices in the Bay Area.

There is nothing wrong with lifting fasted as you're just burning stored glycogen. Unless you're totally glycogen depleted. If anything, there is benefit as being in a fasted state increases insulin sensitivity.

I prefer it, personally. Lift around 11am, follow with a big lunch and small early dinner. On rest days, small lunch and bigger dinner.

I'd love to hear about what interesting problems (technically or otherwise) you're working on -- and if you're willing to share more, I'm curious how you ended up working on them. This time, with a twist. Please include web technologies too if it's really niche and not a lot of people know about it
There is no single good answer for this. Data generally needs to be constantly taken care of to survive. This will necessarily require some amount of trust since you can't be in control when you're dead, and after the timer unlocking, just about anyone with physical access to the key can open containers with it

I've heard from a cognitive scientist that we can open our eyes enough during sleep to read a clock.
I am not aware that is a thing. My googling back then led me to believe that there is nothing after the appeal.

But honestly I don't care anymore. Their ad platform barely worked for me and their numbers didn't match my log numbers for years before this happened.

I haven't had any other use for the platform either way.
> If the entire world were to stop sending Bitcoin transactions for one hour, it would make almost no difference in the power consumption of the world's miners. Roughly 7 to 10 empty blocks would be produced

Yes, and then the average cost of a transaction would be even higher than the ridiculously high amount it already is.
I agree with your sentiment, but my credit card fees are definitely measurable.
You create a gitignore file so that your production dotfiles, say `.env` do not get accidentally tracked or committed.

You create a config file named `.env.example`, which is tracked and committed, that contains the environment variables with default/placeholder values.

The first time you deploy something, you copy `.env.example` to `.env`. Then you change the values of the environment variables in `.env` with production values.

As you develop the project, you'll remove and most likely add environment variables as you extract hard coded things from code into the config file. You'll commit these changes to `.env.example` and then to `.env`
Although very compelling, I have gradually weaned myself off from pop-military journalism such as this article.

Unfortunately it seems to me, that the intersection of people who are qualified to talk about these topics and the ones who are willing and allowed to talk about it is very small.

I feel like to form a qualified opinion on these modern marvels of technology, one needs to have at least an undergraduate understanding of at least one (but preferably a multitude) of the most difficult engineering fields.

Most people don't have that, and this usually results in shallow articles full of factoids that get repeated again and again.
It's odd to see his transition from mysticism and philosophy in the 70s (Jung, Gurdjieff, Watts, Proust, Plato), to Republicanism today (Scarborough, O'Reilly, Rand). I don't want to generalize too much (he also read RBG's autobiography) but there's definitely a move towards politics.
Not necessarily. I use an other extension to delete cookies and data from every website and uBlock Origin blocks connections to trackers. So all I used to get with this extension was a way less cluttered user experience. I will now replace it with a simpler uBlock list.

S3 Deep Archive is two time cheaper than B2. BUT you are not supposed to just rclone to S3 Deep Archive because it charges you based on the number of files you upload.

The upload fee (PUT request fee) is $0.065/1000files so it will charge you a lot when you have millions of files.
I do believe the counterpoint kills the idea, is what I meant. A geographically splintered internet(or rather, geographically splintered "social medias") would just lead to a service showing up that is international and will grow a majority again and the whole cycle begins anew.

The only way I can see this happening would be different instances for each country, as in things would get moderated based on the country laws in question, which I suppose could work in theory, but at that point having enough support staff to actively moderate on a country by country basis is doubtful given how it is currently.
