I think previous attempts along these lines have proven that, if you actually manage to force Facebook (or Google) to pay for linking to your content, they will just stop linking to your content. If your content is news, anyway. Harsh as it is, they are probably making the right business decision. Would people really see fewer FB (or Google) ads if there were no news content there? I don't think that's why most people go to FB or Google.

It reminds me somewhat of the fights in the 80's and early 90's about pirated software, in which Microsoft wanted people to all pay for Office, but didn't want them to consider free options. They never quite pushed the issue as hard as they could have, because I think at some level they knew that if they got an ironclad anti-piracy strategy, it would simply have caused StarOffice (or other options available at the time) to skyrocket.

I'm not saying it's good, but the truth is that news is currently getting $$ roughly equivalent to how much people value it.

Calgary did this after the 2013 Bow river flood. They bailed out the homeowners. But if they choose to rebuild on those lots, next time they get zero. They are on their own.

If catastrophic hurricanes are really going to happen every 10 years, should the federal government be subsidizing the coastal lifestyle and building you a new house each time?

Consider: 100B/100M taxpayers = $1000 per person. Can you really say that the average citizen of Wyoming should pony up $100 a year so Floridians can build up against the unsheltered sea instead a few miles inland?
It is odd and I think it speaks to a culture problem in the NYPD and many urban police departments. They're often part of the "car culture" of cities. They want to drive and park easily. Their friends want to drive and park easily. That makes them want to turn a blind eye toward these types of infractions.

Every police officer and every department is going to decide that there are some crimes and infractions that they care about, assign people to enforce, and promote people for working on. Pedestrian and bike safety often isn't one of them - especially when the majority of the officers don't see that as a problem to begin with and see enforcement against cars as a bad thing for them and their family/friends.

In any organization, the top only has so much power. If you work in software, the CEO might say "we want to do X," but if engineering managers and individual engineers aren't enthusiastic about X, it's going to be a struggle. Sure, they'll maybe create some team and assign engineers they don't consider that great to the team (since they don't care to see X done). Those engineers might be told things like "you should really spend 20-50% of your time doing things that will impact the whole org rather than focusing on X" or maybe those engineers see that their managers aren't really interested in X and try to transfer off the team or find ways of doing something else while still on the team that their managers do care about.

Yes, the CEO can fire people, but it's also easy to make it seem like progress is happening without progress really happening. Ok, the mayor or city council wants to see progress on ticketing these evil cars. Well, the police often have the option of going into low-income or minority neighborhoods and ticketing there, probably for infractions that aren't actually what the mayor or council see as the problem. But they still report that ticketing bad cars is up 20% and give just enough detail and just enough obfuscation that the mayor/council doesn't really know what's going on.

Maybe the city wants to create a new organization outside the NYPD to take on this task. Well, now you're fighting the NYPD (and likely the unions) which probably has more power than you do.

I agree: just enforce the laws. However, that's easier said than done when the people tasked with enforcing the laws might be a big part of the problem.
It is mostly VC money or companies that need to pay that much to keep the best talent around (aka FAANGs). Most software engineers do not make 400k in the US. They just don't.
Quickly build and validate your ideas with no-code development.
No as a rule.

They just replace your ISP with a VPN company. Which is the two is more shady is something you have to figure out, keeping in mind that a subsection of the internet just stops working or turns the aggressiveness of their anti-bot protections up to the maximum on a VPN.
> GPL gives one guarantee

GPL explicitly allows commercial usage. E.g. I take take your GPL code and create a SaaS around it and make a lot of money or I can create a consultancy service around your GPL code.
Kin Insurance covers my Florida property at ~$400k of replacement coverage with reasonable deductibles for $1800/year. I am not on the water, the property is significantly above sea level with a new roof, and I have done every mitigation recommended by the insurer (wall to roof strapping, water barrier between shingles and decking, shutter supports, etc).
>VPNs don’t help privacy at all.

1. They keep your data safe from your ISP.
2. They keep your IP hidden to the sites you browse.

Those two clearly "help" privacy.
That's not exactly it. Per sqft parking spaces would typically bring in more. The problem is that parking space pricing is more competitive, doesn't allow you to increase rents for capital improvements and doesn't give you the flexibility to cheat the tax code like housing does.

You may have seen on TV recently talk about Trump inflating the size and value of his real estate holdings in NYC but that's _EVERY_ NYC landlord. There's massive tax advantages (write down opportunities) for them to do so.

And NYC gets to pretend that they have more tax money coming in than they really do to justify those billion dollar budgets that they always have a shortfall for.

A zit-faced lifeguard admonished my wife for publically feeding our child once and she told him off. At a pool! Heaven forbid we expose those last couple inches.

If you’ve been looking for a house, you’ll realize that 1.3M houses in San Jose either need some work done or are not in a good school district. I am sure someone who makes $450k will always try to move to the best available school district.

Also to your point about expenses. Companies don’t pay you $450k for a 9-5 job. They do that so they can squeeze out as much time of your day as possible. Most tech workers don’t “dine out”, they order in because they have to.

And as far as what I said, it’s not to cry how bad it is for someone making 450k. It is to say that it sounds nice, but in practice you can get a comparable lifestyle in say 80k in India or 200k in Europe. The only difference like I said is when you move out of these expensive places to somewhere cheaper.

It’s the same comparison to saying you can earn $18-25/hour (35-50k/year) waiting tables in Bay Area. But only make 20k/year in Paris doing the same job in Paris.
React is implemented using OOP, which I think is great for libraries that are defining and defending boundaries.
> Does anyone seriously think that NATO would be able to completely neutralize Russia's nuclear capability before they get a single ICBM launched?

No, but Russia can hardly kill more than 5% of NATO population even if it fires all munitions it has, to the last one, on cities.

The casualty calculations are squarely in NATO's favour.
Unless they're using more in public services/subsidies than they're contributing in taxes!

Think their university system, for example -- it's almost entirely subsidized by the government, but the generationally wealthy are by and large the biggest users of it, especially at Oxford and Cambridge. Not here to debate the merits of that system -- but the wealthy are objectively using disproportionality more of the services compared to the rest of the country.

Apply that across entire government sectors (healthcare, transit, pensions, real estate) and you have a government that, yes, while the wealthy are nominally paying the most, they're paying less into it than is sustainable for the amount they use it and expect it to function.

There's a whole separate debate about efficiency/"austerity", but "some" is not better than "none" if each of the "some" is a net-negative on the system.

> Or course they do

Let me compare an ISP spying vs a VPN spying:

1. You make DNS request about example.com. Your ISP sees this. Your ISP can see what websites you "might" visit.

2. You connect to 1.2.3.4. Your ISP sees this. Your ISP can see what websites you "did" visit.

3. You request some data and receive some data. Your ISP sees the size of the data. If it's not encrypted, it can also see the content. Your ISP can see (at least) the size of objects that you requested -- which is enough to fingerprint many specific contents.

Okay so not using a VPN gives effectively zero privacy. Let's look at a VPN:

1. You connect to a VPN (and let's assume your connection doesn't "leak" insomuch as now _all_ network traffic goes through the VPN). Your ISP can see this.

2. You make DNS request about example.com. Your VPN sees this and your ISP can see a network packet. Your VPN can see what websites you "might" visit, your ISP can't.

2. You connect to 1.2.3.4. Your VPN sees this. Your VPN can see what websites you "did" visit. Your ISP still sees traffic to the VPN.

3. You request some data and receive some data. Your VPN sees the size of the data, and your ISP only sees the aggregate-size of data across all of your sessions. If it's not encrypted, your VPN can also see the content but your ISP should still only see aggregate size. Your VPN can see (at least) the size of objects that you requested -- which is enough to fingerprint many specific contents. Your ISP will have a tough time fingerprinting content from specific websites.

4. Your ISP can note that you have a high amount of traffic, possibly note that the traffic is going to a known VPN destination, and that your "normal" traffic is now gone.

Now, your VPN can see all the stuff that your ISP used to see. In addition, your ISP can now determine that you might be doing something illegal, suspicious, or at the very least "enterprise grade" and demand more money.

Have you really gained more privacy?
If people focused on functional/survivable structures, then it wouldn't be an issue. Initial construction might be 1.5x-2x the cost, but it'd be better than rebuilding every couple decades. But I guess they wouldn't be as pretty as they'd want.
Another idea would be to only show a certain amount of nesting by default.

> Alternative take: you never supported free speech and were just upset Bush era policies censored porn, gays and contraception.

With all due respect, what are you talking about? I think this is pretty silly, primarily because as someone who lived through that era I don't ever remember being worried that Bush era policies were "censoring" porn, gays or, especially, contraception?? I may have strongly disagreed with Bush policies on some of these topics, but I certainly watched plenty of porn, including gay porn, and never had problems looking up contraception information, and I never had any fear that my right to discuss those topics freely would go away due to Bush policies.
Imagine still tolerating Windows in 2022
The reason you haven't got a good answer is quite frankly this question doesn't actually deserve an answer. If you were my friend asking it would be sufficient alone for me to stop speaking to you. My visceral reaction is to suppose it is inherently insincere. It's like when someone asks if the holocaust actually happened. Then I remember that even late in the game not everyone has been following the news and thus I will answer it more completely.

Years ago Russian began supplying guns tanks and soldiers to local thugs on the idea that if they betrayed their own countrymen they could have their own Russia supported fiefdom in their part of Ukraine. About 8 years were spent with the region as an active war zone with those who were opposed to the idea fleeing to regions that were not then besieged.

As the full scale invasion began the Russians began purging wrong thinking folks setting up filtration aka concentration camps to torture and murder those deemed disloyal or to be possessed of actionable intel.

So the people that outright shot your 2 of your 5 brothers, tortured the rest, raped your sister and mother show up at your door with guns and tell you that you really ought to vote to join Russia. Meanwhile your brothers with bullets in their heads don't get to vote nor do the 17 members of your extended family that were smart enough to flee and you fear that if you vote the wrong way if they don't outright shoot you right now they might hold it against your cousin who is still in a Russian concentration camp and start cutting on him some more.

Meanwhile if you and all your countrymen stand up and vote against the fourth reich the Russian government is still free to report whatever results they please.
They just turn the VPN off ?
This applies to basically all electronics design tools. Insanely expensive ($5-100k per seat per year is common) and insanely buggy.

Now why didn't they call it Microsoft Secure Network! And MSN in short.

And next they should start a VPN'ed messaging service, they can name it "MSN Messenger".
Going from travelling at Mach 25 in one direction to travelling at Mach 25 in a different direction takes an amount of energy comparable to going from 0 to Mach 25. Being outside of atmosphere helps a lot, and being able to use the less powerful but more efficient electric ion propulsion engines helps a lot, but 10 satellites per mission is usually not feasible. 3 per mission is the number I've heard.

Some companies approaching this problem are hoping to utilize refueling depots. It adds another expensive rendezvous but it does help.
> It would also require police departments and agencies to purge databases of photos of children who were subsequently released without charge, whose charges were dismissed or were acquitted.

Feeling weird about the notion that law enforcement keeps photos of children who have had run-ins with the law but ultimately weren't convicted of any crime. Why would they even need to keep such photographs? Data retention == legal liability.

I started out coding on the side when I was a teen. Mostly just building native GUI applications in VB and Java, maybe some scripts here and there. I think it was a cool start because we could easily do stuff that worked...things like chat clients over our school LAN, scripts which would pull data/files from somewhere, and send them to the people.

Then I studied at University, where I got a more fundamental grasp of how things worked. My first job revolved around industrial automation and such.

These days I work in data science / engineering, and I write a lot of "useful" stuff for automating various tasks. It was really fun to automate stuff which freed up around 1000 manhours a week - not really impressive on the mega scale that many FAANG engineers work on, but when the company has xx people working on menial stuff which can be automated, you really do feel a sense of accomplishment.
Unless you are a network security expert, aren't you greatly increasing your risk by running that WireGuard server?

This seems like a good rule. Warrants are good. Outlawing using it to ID peaceful protestors is good.

While the points about facial recognition misidentifying black people are true, I'd rather it rely only on the civil rights issues associated with it working and not tie it to misidentifying minorities. That's a situation where in 5 years "it works on black people now, kay" is the argument to overturn the law.
Linus has mentioned that part of the intent of LTT Labs/Lab 32 is to not just release video reviews, but to produce comprehensive datasheets on products with some sort of open-access release model. I think the video they did testing HDMI cables[0] is sort of a prototype for that.

Was this travels in your local neighbourhood, going home daily, or one trip to another country or in a very rural area? I'm asking if you had constant data connectivity, intermittent, once daily, or none during that time?

It sucks to have a bad first experience from a Gatekeeping
community. Of course, as newbs, we try to move slowly with small changes first to test the waters. That worked for me, sorry that it did not work for you. I also take the point that was raised about not editing based off months-old data.
The next step is to build it in lower level language with modern hardware in mind to be 2x+ faster than the java alternatives. See scylladb, redpanda, quickwit, yugabytedb, etc.
I'm sorry it was perceived as such. I should have been more mindful. I genuinely intended for the substantive part of the post to be about our frustrations as programmers navigating the business world. It felt like the short introductory sentence was necessary to establish context (I'll remove the link, but leave post intact so other viewers aren't confused). Still off topic but, at the time, it seemed to be an on-brand discussion for HackerNews. What we were really phishing for was rapport from other engineers that we aren't crazy. I even feel vulnerable putting our project out here, at this stage, and the quick cost-benefit analysis in my head was this was a net-neutral.

I doubt Steampipe knew we existed before this post. It seems like fate because I stumbled upon Steampipe just last week. I deliberated how to craft a not-awkward email along the lines of "Hey guys, we just realized we're tackling the same problem. Cheers." When I made the original post, I felt like it was the less awkward way of saying hi but now I'm not sure. At any rate, I hope you understand we did it in good will and not malice.

Edit: I also hope "Best of luck to Steampipe and whoever else is working on this problem" doesn't get misconstrued as being a passive aggressive jab. Our team would honestly be thrilled if all the friction points of IaaS goes away, regardless of who solves it. As a reverse-ad, I'll say a few nice things about Steampipe that stood out to me: written in Go, supports querying HackerNews, SQL/Tables are a really good medium.
Sounds like the aquifer issue in the gear plains. At least FL has desalination as an option.
If you're hosting it on purpose, then you already know that it's the culprit and would've tried to change it anyways. I don't really see a scenario where telling the person who opened the ticket what the issue is would weaken the security measures or detection strategy.
This is like the flood-plane construction along the Mississippi - at some point, the insurers of last resort pull out or run out of money to rebuild. I thought private insurers keep leaving Florida, leaving state and federal agencies. At some point, that will start being a political problem. What then? Wish people luck?
A mortgage isn't a cost. It's an investment. You would call money you put in a 401k a cost either.
"Impacted" has a very wide spread. My sister lost 3 boards from her fence, but they only went about 10' so she really just needs a few nails. Parts and fuel (to get to the hardware store, fuel will probably be the most expensive part of it) will be a couple bucks. Closer to the coast from where she lives, people lost their homes.

So $2500/person isn't a terribly useful number when some people will be done after 5 minutes and $5 of repairs, and others need to rebuild or move.
Well of course it is, either a delivery truck unloads it to your local bodega, or an an amazon car unloads it to your doorstep. Again during the workweek, vast majority of street parking is only open to those two options, yet double parking is common place.

They actually like being featured on Google News and Facebook's news sections. They just want to be paid for it, or else force the tech giants to redirect traffic to them, directly. But as long as Google et.al. have the ability to walk away from the deal, they will exercise it, since they know the newspaper will feel more pain from the separation than the they will.
