I've worked in a company that wrote Java code that needed to avoid false cacheing. It was fairly understandable and the tooling made it quite testable for performance regressions.

However, the issue in the Netflix blogpost is in the JVM C++ code. I think it's entirely possible to encounter the problem in any language if you're writing performance-critical code.
> Yep, it's a whole class of equating X thing with being "virtuous" (or similar). Your height, your sex, your weight, your hairline, your income/savings, etc. It's uncomfortable to talk about or admit but people regularly take controllable (or uncontrollable) traits and assign value to them even though it doesn't have any actual bearing.

Reality can be hallucinated in either direction.

What it actually "is" here, is unknown. But the mind seems to abhor a vacuum so secretly fills it with simulated data. Presumably this had some historic evolutionary benefit, but whether it is still a benefit in 2022 seems questionable.
That's new. I didn't know I could buy points from those who make them and transact them between other accounts.

What.cd was one of the last few truly beautiful communities on the internet (that I know of). It was the best music discovery platform ever, and was what got me into listening to and loving music after years of disillusionment about the state of the industry and the music I'd been previously exposed to. May it rest in peace. At least I still have my favourite hoodie [0].

OP, for what it's worth, your post just inspired me to go make a donation to the EFF.

Right up to the moment you lose your laptop in a fire, forget the password to your wallet, accidentally run malware on your personal computer, etc. Or if you die and haven't gone through the complication of setting up a way for your heirs to gain control of your accounts.

Yes, you can take steps to mitigate these risks. Those steps are absolutely insane from the POV of everyday human beings.

> These conditions don't happen by accident or by the goodwill of employers. They happen because people in the industry have such a hard attitude toward management.

I call baloney on this. It always cracks me up how wrong people are about management’s attitude about them. Been in management at upper levels across multiple orgs, and not once have I ever heard discussions about “how we can screw our team”.
Couple points:

- MRNA COVID vaccine patents weren’t open sourced or available for the third world but Cuba’s vaccine solutions are

- simple things like dental care aren’t offered in the US

I think you should replace “available for the masses” with available “to the middle classes” which may seem the same to the average HN reader but not the average inhabitant of our planet

> Stupid people with money can look like they are clever

I get it, some people hate Elon’s guts and equally hate Elon fans. I also think that it’s pretty well established that he has a range of character flaws that really hurt him and threaten his future success. However, anyone who insinuates that Elon is stupid needs to establish how a genuinely stupid person could found two successful dot coms and then hire all the brilliant engineers that have made his subsequent companies so successful against such odds and become the world’s richest person. Luck and debatable opinions about his alleged wealthy upbringing cannot explain this. Even assuming all the highly debatable opinions about his technical contributions any reasonable observer must admit he is at least a genius at hiring the right people to achieve his vision and then avoiding getting in their way enough to make enormous inroads and sell it all brilliantly. I am far from an Elon fan but I couldn’t hope to achieve 5% of what he has.

Seems to be a Swift problem; an oversight with the default Xcode settings, perhaps?

I tried running `strip -rSTx` on an ad-hoc binary that contained only C/C++/ObjC code (no Swift) and it had no effect.

It does have an effect on binaries with Swift code.

I spent many nights browsing what.cd and building up my collection in the early days.

Somewhat off-topic , but I just posted this question on HN which is sort of related - how did early streaming sites build up their collections?

Maybe the founders of Spotify were actually big uploaders on what.cd and already had many TB of albums?? (Semi-joking, I know this is unlikely, but I’m desperately curious for the answers to this mystery.)

VENDOR: GOOGLE
STATUS: FIXED (NOVEMBER 2022 UPDATE)
REPORTED: JUN 13, 2022
DISCLOSED: NOV 10, 2022 (150 DAYS)

Project Zero only gives vendors 7 or 90 days before disclosure...

The short version: Project Zero won't share technical details of a vulnerability for 30 days if a vendor patches it before the 90-day or 7-day deadline. The 30-day period is intended for user patch adoption.

> Running the same pipeline locally, there are ways to synthetically inject this, but there's no ready support in your framework yet for this (as ideally you'd have an 'authentication' parameter that you can set the details for). Is something like this planned?

Yes, we are watching this new pattern of authorizing CI runners very closely. We fully intend to support it, as it seems inevitable that this model will become the standard eventually.

You may actually be able to implement this pattern now, with the current API.

I'm not familiar with this Azure-specific feature, but in the case of OIDC tokens, it's typically as simple as retrieving the ephemeral token from a file or environment variable, and injecting it as an input to your pipeline.

Would you be able to share some more reading material on the "ways to synthetically inject" that you mentioned? We could use that information to devise a plan for supporting it. Also happy to discuss this directly on our Discord server, if you're interested!

Thanks again for the feedback.

Yes, everyone who disagrees with you, or does something you don't understand is stupid.
The problem with recommendation systems is that they're overwhelmingly based on what you already know. I'm not really interested in that much of the time; there's lots of music that I "should" like based on liking similar things but that just doesn't "jibe" with me, and vice versa.

And for entire new things it tends to gravitate towards the more popular "classic $genre" stuff within a genre. That doesn't mean it's bad music, but a jazz playlist with John Coltrane and Louis Armstrong isn't really very interesting, nor is a metal playlist with Metallica and Iron Maiden. The thing that what.cd offered was that you could discover things beyond that.

And all of this is so subjective in the first place. I recently watched all of the Alien films, and I felt the third Alien film is the second-best (after the original), but the "rating sites" have it listed as the lowest-rated of all of them. I'm probably not the only one who likes the film more than the ratings would suggest, and this kind of stuff gets lost in these algorithmic recommendation systems.

Would it be possible to construct a file/system encryption scheme where you have a read-write passcode and a read-only passcode? Such that when given the read-only passcode it would allow (legal/valid) searches by law enforcement, but not (easily) allow fabrication of evidence by planting incriminating files?

I suppose you could make it part of a signature scheme for files (file written by passcode X) so that your defense could point to the discrepancy in your favour.
I really miss that site, I remember you could place a "bounty" for some rare/obscure song or remix and there was always someone out there who had a copy of it who was willing to share it to get their ratio up.
What you describe is directional trade (aims to capture up/down moves in underlying).

Investment banks usually trade in volatility space, also called delta hedged.
Main idea they would sell options (calls or puts) by adding extra premium to the fair price. At the same time they make the whole portfolio delta neutral by buying and selling underlying instruments on daily basis. By having significant portfolio one could expect to leak less on the hedging process and may be use some correlation between underlyings and use index futures instead of individual stocks. The whole business is to capture the premium mentioned above without predicting up or down move.
Indeed, ironic. But this also laid the path for DeFi, which processes similar volumes per day as centralized exchanges, without the single counterparty risk.

The people are great too. I went on their irc and mentioned how shocked I was I couldn't find a certain album by a random band. A user there asked which one it was and it took 90 seconds from the time I said the band/album to the user posting the torrent link. I had looked everywhere online and I didn't find the album. I'm a salty pirate who's been at sea for decades and I couldn't find this album.

Then this user not only finds it in flac, but is able to create a torrent, upload it and shared it in under 90 seconds. It still boggles my mind how he pulled it off.

I don't believe in magic, but this was magical lol
I wonder if super-apps with subscription passes like Uber that combine food delivery and taxi service could be targeted by this rule. Many businesses are forced to expand to multiple verticals to satisfy growth numbers, and they can use dominance is one vertical to oust players in another.
From Merriam-Webster, wealth is:

a: all property that has a money value or an exchangeable value

b: all material objects that have economic utility

I'm not sure what' you're talking about with regards to "ensuring" or "guarding" it. But in general, wealth is produced in various forms by people. That's generally the goal of work! Just as important, wealth decays over time. And, like with everything else in this universe, everything related to the production and maintenance of wealth is unevenly distributed, including:

1) Physical resources

2) knowledge and skills

3) cultural and moral values

4) geopolitical landscape

5) personality and personal productive capacity

6) social circumstances

7) dumb luck

Given that none of this is evenly distributed between individuals, groups, nations, etc., it's absurd to expect wealth to be evenly distributed, even in a hypothetically just world. In fact, based on what we know, we should expect differential wealth to be a simple and indisputable fact of life.

In a functioning economy, people earn money by creating value for others. This generally means that even as the rich get richer, so do the poor. It is hardly disputable that capitalism has done more to lift more people out of poverty than any other economic system. Also, because wealth decays, to maintain wealth one must invest it to produce more of it. It is through this investment that society can benefit as a whole.

The problems with wealth redistribution include:

1) By taking wealth from people who know generally able to best produce it, you reduce their ability to invest wealth to produce more of it. All of society suffers for this as overall wealth decreases for everyone.

2) When giving wealth to people who aren't producing anything, they take the wealth and spend it without creating any more wealth. Overall wealth decreases for everyone. It is hardly disputable that welfare programs in Western countries have led to far more dependence and far more able-bodied people not working than before these programs existed.

It is not an accident that wealth redistribution makes countries poorer, ultimately harming the poor that the redistribution is meant to help. We should be focusing less on wealth equity and more on wealth production and maintenance.

I can only, as charitably as possible, interpret that as a confirmation that bankruptcy is preferred.

> The workers don’t vanish with the business. If the government provides enough relief these workers can organize around a new business

Starting from scratch is rarely an efficient, or possible, solution, especially anything with IP involved.

> after being compensated from the failing business

Were they not compensated for their time during employment? Wouldn't being compensated for the failing business require knowing the future? I'm not asking this negatively, I'm just trying to understand perspective. Have you ever worked for a startup, or been involved in a small/medium business that's not-yet profitable?

I think you would find extreme risk aversion in a system implemented like you describe, if the only option were continuous success or quick failure. Are there any areas of the world that prefer bankruptcy over headcount reduction, where we could look at the statistics?

That's still double the rate in the paper. And the whole assumption of the Great Barrington declaration, of which Bhattacharya was an author and Ioannidis a sympathizer, was that the rate would drop considerably on reinfection, because herd immunity would protect the population.

The cycle of building, burning, and rebuilding the Great Digital Libraries of Alexandria (e.g., Napster, Pirate Bay, Demonoid, what.cd, redacted, etc.) has gotten old.

At this point I'm inclined to ask-- what would a cypherpunk not do? I.e., let's remove crypto and magically-dev'ing-ourselves-out-of-holes from the equation.

There must be policy wonks here on HN who know the ins and outs of local/state/federal government, copyright law/fair use, etc. (I'm assuming the U.S. IP lobby is the 400 pound gorilla in the room.)

What are some good starting points to look for a more robust way out of the problem-- how do we sustainably grow a crowd-sourcable archive for copyrighted digital artifacts? What's an approach that could eventually be on a referenda or party platform? Does archive.org have any idea? Any other orgs have an idea?

There should be a sustainable solution to bootstrapping civic databases to archive and make available/discoverable all the shits citizens care about without waiting 70+ years for it to enter the public domain.

It's absurd as it is now. We've got a scientific database duct-taped together by a fucking grad student in hiding, and AFAICT nearly every researcher uses it.

What's the reasonable legislation to say, "As long as the project does X and avoids Y, the project may archive Z" for all digital artifacts Z in some domain?
