> Their model, I think, only works for democracies.

Completely agree but I suspect democracy is not enough. When a leader manages to assume a power that can be kept by other means like nationalistic rhetoric or cultural issues they can too engage in economically irrational politics.

People often rally behind ideas about god, identity or ideology. In fact this is very natural and expected because otherwise people could have accepted offers like "if you let me exterminate this group of people I will give you gas at discount".
"Don't you want to spend a little now for a better society tomorrow?"

This is definitely a fallacy. Everyone will agree, but it's vague. Of course we would pay more if it meant a better society. How much is "more"? What is "better"? Is the money actually going to the cause or just supporting the administrative bureaucracy around it? Are there better alternatives?

This is common in politics - make a commonsense or emotional statement that is vague. Yes, people agree with the sentiment or idea, but the implementations can vary wildly and find only partisan support.

I wouldn’t use that word. Germany made choices, and believed in a way that Russia could be pulled westward. Russia intended to use this belief to its own advantage at Western Europe’s expense. People pointed this out, but German politicians shouted that down as cold war thinking.

> countries with nukes can do what they want

Tragedy of the commons: to save the world, we need to get rid of all the nukes. But unless you have nukes, you are helpless against everyone around you, so everyone has to get nukes (or a trustworthy ally who has them)
At one point Nokia pushed the idea that you would write Qt apps to run on their cloud; they had a few actual customers doing it too. I don't know if the current owners kept going with the concept.

It makes sense, from the perspective of shops who invested heavily in upskilling on Qt, to reuse the knowledge to build web apps.
its weird. i dont pay a cent but never see anything from blocked channels. Likes/dislikes has no effect though
Funny thing about the terminology, JWT is just one kind of bearer token. The phrase bearer token in the first place simply means that if you have the token, assume you are who you say you are. (It's also shorthand for passing in the authorization HTTP request header with type "Bearer: ")

If you have an opaque token, then yes, you save nothing and still require a call to a central service.
Congrats on launching.
Wow, nice pricing!

We have a lot of OG series and first gen NFC yubikeys floating around. So I had planned on moving my company to yubikey bio keys at the top of the year but this pricing on the basic keys might win out now.

Well, here's hoping cloudflare has plans to add an offering for the bio series in the future.
That’s backwards. Russia didn’t gain military power to invade Ukraine from UN, it is in UN because it already possessed the military power.

Now, you can say that UN failed to prevent the invasion and do its job, but expelling Russia means you’re left with no forum for dialogs and negotiations. Contrary to the scenes made out of the sabre-rattling in public, it all comes down to money and power - and those things get negotiated in private in these forums.
It was really hard to read for me as well.
That's not actually answering the question.

Is it legal to look away from ads or mute the volume? If so, it's just as legal to delegate this work to a machine (or to an assistant you hire), or at least, it should be just as legal, though again, I'm not sure that any law has been broken here. Breach of ToS != breach of law.

Whether to use the service or not is a completely different question, but when it comes to Facebook, the problem is the network effects. Facebook has a monopoly on humanity's social fabric in a lot of locations, and since they don't want to intentionally interoperate and cooperate with third-party clients (so your Apple-branded client won't be able to message someone on Instagram), adversarial interoperability is the only way out.
> inevitably fail

What would failure look like though?

I mean, I have a couple of Gemini sites ("capsules") up on sr.ht, I figure that they will stay available at least as long Drew Devault lives, and I bet he'll take steps to keep the service going beyond himself.

Since I'm not trying to record traffic stats, or monetize, or anything like that, how would failure be defined?

> If Small Web actually worked, we would be discussing this on Small Web right now.

As lambic says in a sib comment, I think HN counts as "Small" (that's a large part of why I use it and not, say, twitter.) Sure it has some JS and CSS, but it's basically text-based and all the dynamism is unobtrusive.

> none of the websites from various "alternative web" movements have any plausible solutions for people collaborating with one another.

Gemini, at least, has facilities for interaction, and some sites make use of them.

Also Gemini itself was developed by people collaborating with one another, largely over email & mailing list. (Interestingly, last I checked the mailing list serve had gone down, and they left it down because Gemini A) is done and B) has developed a self-sustaining community outside of the list.)

(FWIW, I have a mailing list and an IRC channel for collaborating with people, suits me fine. YMMV.)

> To start, assume that the other two players use the equilibrium probabilities P

If we can assign strategies (but no coordination) to other players, then how about having every player generate a uniform random 64-bit number.

Given the low chances of collision with this setup, this will result in a 1/3 chance of winning which is higher than the 0.296 chance given in the article.
Of course, everyone is a booster for their own cause.

The angles of attack range from the top-down to the grass roots. There are tactics for each (e.g. corrupting state leaders vs controlling mass media narratives).
Right, methods that call Math.min() are literally untestable without PowerMock.
It's worth noting this coconut pattern (hard auth facade, soft interior), while popular and helpful for dev efficiency, is a weak security practice. Using simple pre-shared keys between internal services excludes any meaningful access controls over user data. Whether that's important depends on the domain.

For stripe, though, I'm surprised they wouldn't want to ensure internal data requests are being made on behalf of customers who should actually have access to the data.

Also, for bigger companies (although, why not smaller ones?), you hit a point where you can't keep blindly trusting every service. Better to have internal security controls.

As for when these tradeoffs are appropriate, hard to say. But a good rule of thumb could be when the product is big enough to need an SOA.

Rules about things like DRM already have carve outs for "interoperability". A big example is back in the 90s, EA didn't like the rules Sega made for putting games on the MegaDrive/Genesis, so they did some reverse engineering work and made their own cartridges that worked great. Sega took them to court and got smacked down pretty hard, basically invalidating their entire anti-copy strategy.

We should push for MORE of the above, not less. We should push for laws that HELP people use the things they have, instead of locking them out of their own property. If Facebook doesn't like people trying to access their own content, Facebook shouldn't have built a business on everyone else's content. Nobody forced them to do that.

Show HN: A tool to find books outside gender echo chambers
Hi HN. I made this mostly for my own curiosity. Many of us end up reading books by or about people of specific genders. So it's interesting to find books that are outside that echo chamber but still mostly _inside_ the topical or affinity area we are most engaged in. Doing this, it helps us to each expand our reading while elevating underrepresented authors, topics and character-types in the books we read.

For myself, I found it most interesting to find more female writers in the topic area of economics and technology, where I've experienced a high concentration of male writers.

From the explainer:
.
Imagine sitting in a library of limited size, tailored perfectly to your tastes. If we look at all the books in this library, the genders of their authors, and the genders of characters within the books, then we can find your "literary gender bias". That's what this tool attempts to do. Giving the tool 3-5 books can serve as the seeds of this hypothetical library. From these, we can then extrapolate, calculate and show you your gender bias, and a set of recommendations that seek to invert that bias.

Should it matter? If you bought the car and have access to your charging data, you should be able to delegate that access to a third-party if you want.
Most of the "infrastructure" is the store owners and etc complying with the passport system. The technical part is irrelevant.

Anyway, all of that "infrastructure" is people making judgments. It will enable a police state if the people think they should enable it.
It's easier than ever if you ignore all the 'professional' tooling. Just Chrome or Firefox dev tools and an HTML file and you have an environment with instant feedback, auto-complete everything but none of the nonsense that most front-end developers deal with (since, as an amateur, you only need to make 1 page).
Until we have a patchwork of ineffective and inefficient temporary fixes that become a permanent drag on society. Temporary fixes can be fine, but they actually have to be temporary. Doing things right can have a much larger benefit than half-assing it and making a bigger mess in the future.

It's great for getting shit done in a sprinty bulldozer, potential wake of destruction kind of mode. But I can't imagine it working well for me in a distance running context where managing my cadence and cardio/breathing is key.

It's one of those things that I'd expect to see get a bad review from Techmoan.
That's not at all true according to the paper.

I genuinely do not understand the impulse people have to rationalize stuff like this. This is a devastating research result. It might be the most damaging paper ever published on a secure messaging system; I'd have to think about that.
I dunno—you set out to prove something about some battle recorded in the Bible, or whatever, you're gonna end up uncovering some real history (maybe even the kind you wanted!) probably, so there's a substantial connection to reality to drive the overall process, even if there's strong bias in the mission. The evolution (har, har) of that into something like a secular museum has a clear path to follow.

You set out to prove the Earth was made in 6 days a few thousand years ago, you're... likely not gonna be coming up with much that's connected to reality, even by accident.

Though it is funny to imagine.

To be fair, this is also a matter of culture and convention.

I highly recommend if you're interested in Lua checking out a few of my favorite Lua projects...

1. Moonscript (https://moonscript.org/) the compile-to-lua language powering Itch.io, it's amazingly pleasant to work with and I was amazed porting a JavaScript tool to Moonscript that the moon version was more readable despite my lack of familiarity with the language.

2. Redbean (https://redbean.dev/) the single-file, cross-platform binary magic web server that's been all the rage lately. Super fun to embed Lua apps into a single binary and build small web apps.

3. Pico-8 (https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php) the famed "fantasy console" a fake old computer with fake old requirements that forces you to get creative as you write games and apps with the limited resources, of course, all apps for Pico-8 are written in Lua.

I think the moral here (especially with the last two projects listed) if you like when computers get weird you'll like Lua. I also recently compiled the Lua runtime into wasm to make some of my scripts portable to the browser, it was simple and easy, including modifying the language code just a bit.

Lua is a little wacky, but there's something so fun it brings me back to the early days of writing code when everything was simple and just a little off.

Realistically: not close at all. But significantly less close: in the last few years, German renewable buildup per capita effectively collapsed. Expressed in the most German units imaginable, buildup dropped from "world champion" to "failed to qualify for the tournament".

I was hospitalized, pumped full of drugs and didn't eat anything (except via IV) for a week -- the absence of caffeine thing was kind of a random side effect. Not an approach I would recommend!

I was pumped full of antibiotics and took more after being discharged so pretty well wiped out all the bacteria in my gut, which I replaced by eating yoghurt. My diet has changed fairly radically since then (zero interest in sweets, for example) so I wonder how much of my coffee and other food desires were actually my gut symbionts' desires.

This whole string of conversation is some of the most horrendous navel gazing I've had in my comments for a while.
To expand on my example, one of ARMAs big issues is view/render distance; now that cards are much more powerful, players expect to see naked-eye objects miles away, and even farther when using optics. That patch of grass still needs to hide the sniper, while also rendering their surrounding part of the world...and that sniper also needs to see another patch of grass a further 5 miles past that. Oh and you still have to synchronize wind and grass sway, or again, the game doesn't really work.

To reiterate though, I wish them alot of luck!
I would say you are one of a few lucky ones.
