The process is:

* Audits cost $$$K

* The Matrix project doesn’t have pots of money sitting around to spend on audits. We get around $8K/month of donations on Patreon, which currently doesn’t even cover the running costs of matrix.org.

* Therefore, to get an audit done, we need to find a someone who is so excited about Matrix that they’ll fund it. For instance, the most recent audit was funded by Gematik, the German healthcare interoperability agency.

* However, the reason that folks like this get excited about Matrix is because they want a secure decentralised open communication platform. If the perception of Matrix shifts that its security is “killed dead” or other such hyperbole due to the infosec community reacting to the overclaims in the paper, then it obviously undermines that interest in Matrix. Who wants to use a protocol whose security is declared dead by cryptographers? And so who would want burn money funding audits?

This may sound dramatic, but unfortunately it’s really how it works. Just as academic papers rely on presenting the most dramatic interpretation to get attention and boost their visibility and help them get funding… similarly, open source projects get disproportionately harmed by dramatic overclaims.

Oh there’s a word for this. The first time I was in the U.S. I was looking for an ATM and someone said there was a biyouvet down the road. I wasn’t sure what a biyouvet was but it sounded French and exotic. I asked them if the biyouvet had ATMs and was assured it did, and went on my way to find the aforementioned biyouvet - before I could though I found a Bank of America which did in fact have ATMs.
Closer to star gate sg1 episode than star trek, I love that series.
Yes, but to add some context to it: The very party that initiated this complex, was previously instrumental in installing environmental blocking rights, Habeck's Green Party. ;)
It is something Dr. Crusher came up with:

> Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome

> Attempting to cure Lieutenant Reginald Barclay of his Urodelan flu, Dr. Crusher used synthetic T-cells to activate the gene that would fight off the infection. However, an anomaly in Barclay's genetic structure caused the T-cell to mutate and activate all of Barclay's dormant genes, including his introns. The T-cells then became airborne, spreading throughout the ship like a virus and causing the crew to "de-evolve."

This is build vs buy vs run. Yes, what you're saying might mean slightly less is built, but there's a lot more to run. Having ops people who know Postgres inside out might go better than having ops people who have to try and know four totally different technologies a bit.

I don't know why this comment was down-voted. I feel exactly the same. When I saw the news source, Wall Street Journal, I wasn't surprised to see how much the article focused on sweeping away "pesky" environmental laws. Ask anyone who lived in Germany, UK, US, Japan in the 1970s. They can tell you all about life before environmental laws. It was hell. And sadly, the narrative is always stolen away by complaints about "my view will be ruined", ignoring all of the good these laws do for our environment. It would be better to improve the environmental laws to exclude "views" as something to be protected.
What the hell is "freedom to pay in cash" even supposed to mean.

Why would I, a buyer, have any reason to want to receive large sums of money phisically rather than digitally if it's not for tax evasion? Having lots of money on you is dangerous and a hassle.

There's literally no good reason for this "freedom" that isn't tax evasion, money laundering or paranoid "being controlled".

This is sadly official common practice. I’ve had experience with a major cloud provider, who wouldn’t budge until you mentioned “social media”.

Apple iCloud+ own Domain for families – how many domains in total?
Hi,

thinking about switching my domains to Apple iCloud+ Domains. Overall it's easy and nice, but I do have a question concerning number of maximum own domains I can connect to.

I know they're talking about a limit of 5 domains. What happens when a family member also adds another domains? Does every family member have 5 domains, or is it a maximum of 5 domains in one family?
My father is a family member, but doesn't need the other family domains - he has it's own domains.

Can he stay within our family, but connect his own domains?

Best
Isn't it obvious where this could be going? Let's save more children's lives by making all copyright infinite.
I never thought about it like that but that's a great point. And switching out when someone comes into the room and eg. asks you if you want lunch is quite jarring, and then having to get out regularly for comfort breaks etc.

Plus working on eg. a train in VR would be a pain, you need some spare input channels to watch out for conductors or people taking your stuff.
Off topic, but why don't we limit paywalled articles on ycombinator?
C section recovery is not painless. Epidurals are a better option if goal is just reducing pain.

Lots of disdain for Cogent on this thread, and very little comments about HE effectively having much the same business model as Cogent: sell pipes as cheap as possible, run them as hot (full) as possible, care little about performance implications.

As a transit supplier, they’re both pretty low quality, suited to bulk traffic only. Anything latency/loss sensitive goes over other providers.

HE and Cogent both are best suited to their roles as carrier of last resort. If you as a customer depend primarily on either of them, that’s a particularly unfortunate situation that should be remediated if possible.
Isn't the problem just that the term is being used inappropriately?
Congrats to Germany for this one, I wish we could do the same in the UK.

It has seemed to me that the planning system in its current state is actually badly damaging our economy and posperity. We don't build enough houses, and when we do, the infrastructure that's needed to support them takes decades to build. I've been hearing about another heathrow runway, and new trainline, etc for years and yet it seems we're no closer to having these built. Now we're stuck paying most of our income into a 30 year mortgage rather than anything useful/productive. That money could have gone into the productive economy.
I'm primarily a backend but I've dabbled in frontend at times where needed, and I've always kinda felt there's value in polyfills if nothing else. Maybe you don't go full Angular/React but JQuery adds a lot of value for not much effort.

I realize JQuery is terribly unfashionable these days and maybe people would rather use some smaller niche polyfill library, but with how quickly the javascript world churns and deprecates, that is kind of a virtue tbh. JQuery is 16 years old and that's ancient in the javascript world, the Lindy effect says it will likely continue to be a pillar going forward as well. You're probably just better off using the standard even if you're not using all its capabilities.

Yeah it's all bells and whistles in the beginning but most of the time you have to do half the job for something ever simple like writing an email explaining your situation. I think it gives false hopes.

In some alternate world, perhaps.

In the real world, developing AI is costing capitalists a lot of capital, and they fully expect to capitalize on this technology, at the expense of all the rest of us.

> That transition is gonna be a hard one though as the habit of personal gain is a tough one to break after living in it for so long.

This is ridiculous. 99% of us simply have no choice. We keep working, not because of "personal gain" but so we can continue to eat food and have shelter over our heads. Our relationship to "personal gain" is simply irrelevant in this equation because we have no power.

Only a tiny number of people who are already incredibly rich because of obsessive attention to personal gain will have any say, and of course, they will decide in favor of MORE personal gain.

Blaming the rest of us for this is simply victim-blaming.

I am not okay with that because internet and computers are very cheap. A single rental payment is enough to pay for almost two years of 100mbit internet. Three rental payments are enough to pay for a reasonably high end PC which lasts 6 years (no I don't mean a PC with a thousand dollar graphics card).

And we are still talking about a cheap 500€ per month apartment with only one bedroom here. In practice you would pay more. Products made in Asia are a drop in the bucket compared to rent in even the cheapest parts of Germany.

I don't think 500€ is an excessively high rental price, I just disagree that anyone would have to do without these products.
That's the same with 90% of the Internet. You don't pay for content, but immense computing resources are used by the advertisement industry to recover everything.

Most people I know would stop working in an instant if that didn't mean they ended up living on the street.

But we will never get that choice. Once all our jobs are destroyed, there isn't going to be any help coming. We will simply be classed as inferior workers, and society will brush us off in favor of the 0.1%
One simple solution is to allow anything, with no delay, but then do the same legal process as before, and if the environmentalist wins, then the builders have to pay compensation.

Builders would make a loss on projects that caused lots of environmental harm, so wouldn't build in the first place.

Effectively, instead of having a judge slowly make the decision, the company tries to guess what decision the judge will make, and if they guess wrong then they're gonna lose out financially.

There are too many sports cars and yachts. We don’t need a single one of them. There are half a million homeless people in the US.

> How does the copyright system in Luxembourg work?

They're signatories to the Berne Convention[1] which gives you automatic copyright on "every production in the literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever the mode or form of its expression" and also gives you control over rights for "the right to make adaptations and arrangements". Which I would understand to mean they can't say "copyright is void because of XYZ" - it was created, it is copyrighted. I'd imagine WIPO would slap this down.

> As far as I know the US copyright system is very different from that, where you have to register or apply

Since they're signed up to the Berne Convention, copyright is automatic but apparently there is an allowed "requirement that the right holder of a “United States work” have registered the work before initiating a lawsuit" (from [2])

You're absolutely right that correctly configured cookies enjoy a protection that passwords don't: The browser won't send them to the wrong place, same as in WebAuthn. On that basis I'm sure we could come up with a cookie-based scheme that solves a lot of problems, too. It wouldn't be as strong as WebAuthn (even in software -- TPMs aren't the only protection against a compromised OS, and software authenticators can still do plenty to defend themselves), but it wouldn't need to be to have enormous value.
It would sound plausible if you are American I guess.
How much does casting video over Wi-Fi (especially 4k) affect the performance of the other Wi-Fi traffic in a house?

Because there's no mixing of applying changes to the state of the system and retrieving the state. Testing becomes much easier and looks like a business DSL on the system (also connects well with functional core, imperative shell). Also for the heavy read systems you can easily introduce performance improvements as the read path is separated. Out of curiosity, what issues did you have with CQRS? How was it handled? I would like to know because maybe it was applied in an inconvenient way. Some developers that worked with classical layered architecture for years have a problem with CQRS, DDD and FCIS, but when it clicks it's "Oh wow, it makes a lot of things simpler" moment for them. There are also drawbacks of course and that approach fits well to bussines solutions, so you can't find many applications in OSS, which are mostly technical solutions.
This. I've absolutely left 20 line comments on 2 line code changes when the reason for the change is non-obvious, subtle and fairly important. I look at it as a favor for future me.

> Curse of Knowledge is real.

I agree. I usually teach with example. Sort of here is a situation, this is your input now write something (a function, sql statement, etc.) to produce the desired outcome. While doing so I explain all the relevant details (this might be a good time to talk about different allocations for example).

This works surprisingly well. If you reverse the order (talk about different allocations first) the student need to connect the dots later.

I found my approach working better.

Anyways, it might be only me.

I've lived in Japan for nearly a decade on and off now, and have never heard of parents comparing their children's TOEIC scores, nor talking about classic poetry. School level competition exists, but I don't think these are the points they focus on. Those seem more like China specific things.
Airlines are fighting tooth and nail to not spend money to implement video feeds on the black boxes, a rather doable upgrade with huge safety benefits, and you want to mandate expenditures on converting all air ships to full remote drones? That is never going to happen.
> Turning it off with the STAB TRIM CUTOFF switch turned it off.

> The pilots in the second crash did not follow that procedure.

"At 05:40:35, the First-Officer called out 'stab trim cut-out' two times. Captain agreed and First-Officer confirmed stab trim cut-out."[1]

However they were unable to correct the trim of the aircraft without help of the electrical systems (still being on full takeoff power didn't help).

So around 3 minutes later stab trim cutout was switched back to normal. Pretty much the moment they did that the aircraft pitched down hard, the situation becoming unrecoverable within seconds, followed by the aircraft impacting the ground.

There were possibly ways to save the aircraft (reduce aerodynamic forces that prevented trim by hand by, for instance, reducing thrust), but those weren't detailed in any ADs.

TLDR:

After decades of research focused on the amyloid cascade hypothesis, which claims that sticky plaques of amyloid-beta proteins between neurons are the main cause of Alzheimer's disease, many scientists are now turning their attention to deeper dysfunctions happening within cells. Some believe that the disease is caused by a variety of proteins that may be causing multiple cell dysfunctions, while others are focusing on the role of tau protein tangles, which also form inside neurons.

> How can I say " You people are weird. Is it that hard to write a personally accountable email?" in a nicer way?

> One way to say this in a nicer way is to express your thoughts and feelings in a more direct and understanding manner. For example, you could say something like: "I'm having trouble understanding why it's difficult for you to write a personally accountable email. Could you explain your perspective on this?" This approach shows that you're open to hearing their thoughts and opinions, and it's more likely to lead to a productive conversation.

Just one example how it can help you be (at least appear to be) a bit more emphatic to your fellow human beings.

Ultimately, 'real lossless' does not exist since all raster image data (or audio data) consists of quantized samples with a limited spatial (or temporal) resolution (and in case it was captured, as opposed to synthesized, there will be errors caused by the capturing process too). But as long as the precision is high enough to be indistinguishable by humans in the viewing conditions (or editing conditions) that matter to them, everything is fine. Whether that is achieved through lossless codecs (possibly used in near-lossless ways) or through lossy codecs is probably less important in practice.

What matters is getting the workflow right to minimize generation loss and precision loss during authoring. If your workflow critically depends on assumptions like "png is lossless, jpeg is lossy", you should probably re-think your workflow. A jpeg straight from a camera is 'more lossless' than a downscaled 8-bit png that was created from it. Just going by file type to determine where in the workflow you are, is not a good strategy.
Thank you so much for doing the research and explaining this.

Then the "German" way of doing things is actually _the_ way of doing things, and the US just hase some additional stuff on top.

That also clarifies the twitter thread to me: This was about a _court_ ruling, not some copyright office deciding if something is copyrighted or not (which I assumed because I thought about the German way being special, and my misguided understanding of the US system being the international standard).

I also realize now that further down the twitter thread this is made more explicit. I should really have read more then the first 5 tweets. Sorry.
No, they are not reversible.
The headline is misleading. What Germany did here was building a dock for a floating LNG terminal, not the LNG terminal itself.

The whole point floating LNG terminals is to be able to provide a site within a very short timeframe.

Germany didn’t build a fixed LNG terminal yet neither did they build a floating LNG terminal themselves. These floating terminals are rented from other countries.
