Sure, a third-party is required. What I meant is that there should be a law forcing software companies to commit their source code to such kind of third-party services (government or private run) so that closed source code can be open sourced after certain conditions are fulfilled.
> Zero knowledge cloud
> Data in our cloud is end to end encrypted so your credentials are never exposed to anyone but you.

A few comments:

1. You might want to avoid calling this zero-knowledge. While your docs suggest some use of E2EE, there seems to be a significant amount of metadata that remains both unencrypted and unauthenticated.

2. Having read your white paper, it appears your E2EE setup is vulnerable to various forms of forgery. In a simple case, an attacker that has compromised your infrastructure can easily substitute the credentials of arbitrary users in a way that is NOT tamper-evident.

3. There seems to be no post-compromise security. If your user private key is compromised (e.g. extracted from the extension's local storage), there seems to be no way to reset it.

4. The recovery flow is questionable. Do you really want to store critical cryptographic material in plaintext and in a third-party cloud?

When rolling out E2EE from scratch, it's very easy to give rise to issues like #2. At Backbone[1], we've created a framework for building end-to-end encrypted applications with building blocks designed to preserve confidentiality, integrity and nonrepudiatiability under a strict threat model.

Feel free to reach out, we're happy to share how we solved issues like the above.

To my knowledge Cloud Flare is about connectivity and authorization. They outsource authentication to external identity provider (Okta, etc.) and do not actually log you into downstream resources. Cloud Flare can also do basic device posture telemetry, meaning identifying risky devices and blocking access from those devices.

idemeum on the other hand covers access end to end - connectivity through proxy, passwordless authentication to downstream resource (for example certificate based auth for SSH servers), granular authorization policies, and auditing including sessions recordings.

You can think of Cloud Flare Access as remote access solution.

idemeum is remote access + SAML identity Provider + password vault.

Bless you, but it's surreal to have such a discussion in a forum that purports to attract interesting discussion on technical topics.

Perhaps you missed the Pfizer's admission to the EU parliament that they did no such testing.

The fact that governments, researchers and medical professionals worldwide claimed they did test effectiveness against transmission (and thus claimed moral high-ground in forcing these prophylactic treatments which do not include immunization), when in fact they did NOT test, will go down as one of the most catastrophic blunders in the history of public medicine.

Trust in public medicine programs -- and, tragically, public vaccination programs in particular, has been destroyed, perhaps for generations.

And it is due, in no small part, to catastrophic hubris such as revealed here.

FUD about vaccines is now rampant because the extreme testing, care and attention they usually undergo was short-circuited. The resultant outcome of unnecessary carnage will be squarely on the shoulders of those responsible for this outrageous lack of scientific humility.

> With certain bird populations like the Bearded Vulture growing, birds can disperse in unusual habitats, and it is critical to find solutions to mitigate such threats. Operators need to develop shut down on demand processes and be willing to cooperate with conservationists to avoid accidents and help save birds. Furthermore, wind farms should implement mitigation measures to help prevent collisions such as equipping deterrent devices and even painting a single wind turbine blade black as a recent study suggests, however, more research is necessary to determine the effectiveness of this anti-collision measure. To safeguard biodiversity, conservationist should work alongside the energy sector to find solutions and prevent such accidents.

It's not perfect; the system misclassified nine of 149 eagles, for a false negative rate of 6%., with a false positive rate of 28% for misclassifying 278 of 1,013 eagles. Birds were classified as eagles by the system at a median distance of 793 meters (about a half a mile), and detected and classified in less than half a second.

> When the housing bubble popped

Your comment misses what created the popping of the bubble. The sibling comment talking about sub-prime mortgages talks about them, and I think they're right.

I was always under the impression that the crisis began with people that couldn't pay their mortgages because banks were handing them out to people that couldn't afford them. This created downward pressure as foreclosed houses flooded the market, and irrational people decided to abandon their mortgages because they were underwater, exacerbating the problem.

> Perhaps you're too young to know this story, but this is what happened.

I'm 40, if that helps. Though in 2008, when I was 26, I was managing a Subway restaurant for $10/hr and living in a $650/month apartment (Which is now a ridiculous $1,300/month, literally double), whereas now I own a house and work in cybersecurity for an order of magnitude more.
A "halt -fp" just unmounts file systems and immediately shuts down.

It's not as surprising if you look at the primary use case of PHP. It takes a request, does a bunch of stuff, and returns the result to the web server.

Same boat. Relocated last May for work, quality of life to a mid-tier city from a major hub and bought near top of local market. I miss where I was living, but my mortgage is cheaper than the rent I had been paying for the last decade in previous city. Plus - no annoying neighbors or sharing walls.

I'm locked in at 2.8% and even though I don't love my city, I am not selling (as long as I can hold off). I know a half dozen people in my similar situation here, and none plan on selling. I do plan on leaving (probably within 5 years), but I will rent my place out, not sell, if the market doesn't improve even slightly and I need/want to live. I see nothing to gain rn by selling

Maintainers can and are encouraged to specify the entity of the prospective reward in the issue (see examples here https://github.com/slice-so/merge-to-earn/issues).

However this should be limited to maintainers as rewards in merge to earn are related to actual ownership of the project and its future earnings.

But anyone could open an issue, and then the maintainer can add a tag to it depending on the reward it thinks it could be worth.

At the end though it's important to note that the contributor opening the PR has the final word on the amount being requested for the work done.

I am not.

PHP is traditionally used solely for websites. Some of those have grown rather large, to the point that having engineers optimize the language is cheaper than buying more servers.

Python, on the other hand, is first and foremost a scripting language. When performance does matter, you often end up using a wrapper around a C library, like NumPy. This means there is relatively little money in optimizing the Python interpreter.
Well no nice rhetoric but there are privacy reviews at Meta now to prevent these things. OP should collect evidence for why they think it was Meta and report it. Then it can be investigated properly and dealt with if true.

I’m skeptical that it was Meta, given the zero evidence provided here. Unless the OP just pays for a phone number that is only used for Meta 2FA.. but that is a lot of money to have a phone number per a 2FA.

Was their offering good, or was it the same undifferentiated Chinese-made particleboard-and-metal-tubing junk that Amazon, Wayfair, and everyone else sells? It seems like their main issues were around their import supply chain, so I assume it was the same stuff you can get anywhere. If they actually, like, manufactured the furniture they sold in the UK they likely would not have a problem, but they were optimizing too hard for those profit margins I guess.

I've long wanted to do a "startup" that sells decent furniture online because it's so painful wading through all the cost-engineered crap out there seemingly at every price-point (even pretty expensive stuff!). The main reason I haven't is that industrial real estate within driving distance of me is currently out of my budget, but I think it would do really well.

Google doesn't seem anti-fragile to me. They have always seemed every bit as vulnerable as Meta, but with a few extra (yet weak) plates of armor due to an unfair ecosystem they've created to funnel you into Adsense. An ecosystem that many legislators and the DOJ think violates antitrust, and that the EU and other countries are already ruling against.

If Apple begins blocking their trackers (see Google's recent worldwide Chrome ad campaigns - a campaign that likely sees the writing on the wall), they lose all Apple revenue.

If 10B market cap companies begin to campaign for antitrust, and Microsoft negotiates for Bing on Apple, Samsung, and Firefox, Google will lose everywhere else.

I honestly don't even see why Microsoft couldn't play equally dirty and revert Chrome's default search engine on Windows to Bing. It's an equally dirty move to the stuff Google has done.

Google could have a strong cloud product, but they're in distant third and aren't investing enough to take away AWS/Azure market share. Their culture of launching products for promo, launching competing products (eg messengers), and then killing them has severely damaged their reputation.

You mentioned a better way in your original comment:

(And we see a very similar percentage who don't bother to complete it - at least 90%.) The question is intentionally easy

Use a difficult question, and you'll get a smaller pool of higher-quality applicants.

-Allow bounty seekers to pass links to branches/repo forks that try to pass the tests.
-The first one to pass the tests get the bounty released to them
-As a courtesy, the system should probably offer the patched code as a PR to the original repo, even if they don't accept it.
