Bandwidth isn't an infinite resource. It effectively is up to a certain scale and with a few caveats (the costs are not consistent globally) but I'm sure Netflix is beyond the scale where it can be assumed to be and at that point they will be bidding against other big users for peering priority.

With a dedicate server I have some stuff on I can upgrade to 10gbit unmetered for a lot less than 10x the cost the current 1gbit unmetered link (in my case neither dedicated, but 1-shared-to-10-shared will likely scale in cost similarly to 1-dedicated-to-10-dedicated). With another where I have a total bandwidth cap not a speed cap I could likely extend that cap relatively cheaply. At the scales required by a small company, even one running SaaS services, the same is usually true. But at Netflix's scale a small percent increase in any particular locality is still a huge amount of extra to ask for, and it might not really be available (it could be allowed to eat into slack for a short time, this is one of the reasons why networks are provisioned for more than 100% of expected use, but if the extra is needed permanently then infrastructure upgrades may be needed). They can get around lack of cheap bandwidth by instead temporarily increasing compression rates (this will in fact happen automatically, as dropping overall bit-rate is supported to deal with congestion at the level of a user's connection and that will kick in due to congestion elsewhere too) but this will be easily detectable by some users (particularly those with huge screens and great eyesight) who will compare the quality with other streaming content providers and talk about the difference which may affect future sales.

> on top of this their caching strategy becomes even more effective

Caching in terms of keeping data geographically spread will reduce international bandwidth needs, and ISP-level caching through their local boxes will help considerably again (and get more effective as more users join from the same ISP), but there will always be an amount of traffic that needs to travel costly routes (the ISP level caches will only be large enough to support the best caching candidates, like new high-profile shows, a small proportion of the whole catalogue, and many ISPs do not have that facility at all).
Its a shame that such accomplished heists have to remain hidden until the criminals death and even then the widdow gets punished by the vengefull machinery of power. Lessons learned: Honesty has no reward. When involved in crime, melt the evidence down.
Passkey is a concept that even the majority of tech enthusiasts seem not to have groked as of today. The thing that google/Apple have brought to the table is cloud backup of your private keys (yes, you should have lots of questions about how that is managed). This should enable disaster recovery/device transition for people using a phone as one of their passkeys. You’d probably add a fingerprint from your laptop for convenience, and if that laptop is all you have then no disaster recovery for you.

However, to be fair, if people have one of something it’s going to be a phone. If you use google or android, then those keys are backed up into the cloud “securely”. Those keys are also “secured” on the device. Not as good as HSM, but if you dig into the details it’s probably much more solid than you’d expect.

They have been a competitor to IBM for many years. ADABAS is as critical for many companies as IMS and the Mainframe is for others.
A sane setup would provide an alternative to unlock the passkey, with a PIN.

Yes, you're back to entering a password, but you don't have most of the weaknesses and pitfalls of password-based logins in distributed systems (phishing,credential stuffing,keyloggers probably a few others).
So of the two alternatives: pay $X for a full subscription or pay $X * 0.2 for a shared one, you are choosing to pay $0 because it is annoying to pay money compared to not paying money?

If it's not good enough to warrant either $X or $X * 0.2, then cancel it. I.e.: Netflix sucks, cancel it!

Y'all are defending not paying while still using said service with arguments that don't support your case.

I stopped pirating stuff a good 15 years ago and Spotify and Netflix are both part of the why. Now, they both kinda suck and I might actually cancel Netflix. But you won't find me on Piratebay for that reason. It's just going to suck for a while.
this is exactly what i am thinking. i ended up building my own router that tries to use an openAPI schema as the sole source of truth but pre-populates the schema based on folder structure so that simple setups behave nearly identical to file based routers. the difference is that you can drop pre-populated routes when the app gets more complex and gradually move to a schema based approach and do things like extract more complex data from url, validation and reuse pages at different places etc.

Here's an example of it in action to run integration tests:

https://github.com/hitchdev/hitchstory/tree/master/examples

In e.g. the website example, the parent podman container does everything from running the integration tests to converting a video of the test at the end into a slowed down GIF and combines it with screenshots to put in the docs. It orchestrates the child podman containers - playwright + the webapp.

I'm certain that if all this tooling were run on different host machines it would have a myriad of "works on my machine" problems all over the place - whether due to mac, WSL, weird linux distros, github actions idiosyncrasies or whatever.

I'm equally certain that if the tooling were bundled in the app container it would needlessly fatten it with unnecessary and potentially conflicting dependencies. I don't want video conversion tooling installed in my web app even if I do want it to generate my docs.

Yes and no. Behind a CDN is good, but people commonly use Cloudflare which has built-in bot protection, and the federation between fediverse nodes looks a lot like bots, and Mastodon isn't going to fill out a captcha, it'll just de-federate and break the network.

Configuring a CDN correctly of course will work, but I've done some basic analysis of the network and that is not happening, looks like a lot of first-time sysadmins running Mastodon without knowing about these sorts of things.

Reading his other tweets the issue seems to be that old devices continue to get notifications even after you change the password since Amazon doesn't automatically remove old devices. I don't know how that's abused beyond being an issue for Amazon. Maybe if you lose your devices and don't force logout.

Wikipedia

> In the next 2,000 years the sea level is predicted to rise
> by 2–3 m (6–10 ft) if the temperature rise peaks at 1.5 °C (2.7 °F),
> by 2–6 m (6–19 ft) if it peaks at 2 °C (3.6 °F) and
> by 19–22 m (62–72 ft) if it peaks at 5 °C (9.0 °F)

Additionally

> If temperature rise stops at 2 °C (3.6 °F) or at 5 °C (9.0 °F), the sea level would still continue to rise for about 10,000 years. In the first case it will reach 8–13 m (26–42 ft) above pre-industrial level, and in the second 28–37 m (92–12 ft).

It is over 2000 years though. By 2100 the absolute worst case scenarios have sea level rise at about 2m

(note: I rounded down halves of ft to make it more readable, but the metres are unchanged)

Google cloud is down in Europe https://status.cloud.google.com/regional/europe
For most digital services, physical theft is one of your least concerns. Someone can just take your laptop and extract your session token, who even needs a Yubikey?

The problem these keys solve is that humans suck at managing passwords. Password managers are nice, but they're also protected by passwords, and humans suck at using those protective passwords.

I'm all for 2FA, but I'd like to see websites switch to key-then-password rather than password-then-key. Most people won't turn on 2FA and physical keys are a lot safer in today's world of leaked passwords galore than passwords.

If you don't enable 2FA and default to using a key, you can still do the whole "forgot password" (or rather, "lost my key") routine to reset your authentication through email.

I've actually did it in the past, it's an option for sure but the very nature of only working as a dry powder is quite limiting and makes the beddings dirty when they inevitably touch the floor.
The way it's supposed to work is that each user would view this from their own Mastodon instance, and the federation would mean that traffic would be much lower on the source instance.

That doesn't work when people post links like this though. Maybe we need something like activitypub://@username/postid that can be opened in the user's default client if they have one, or could be resolved to the original instance if not via webfinger. Unfortunately never going to happen, but it would be in the spirit of the systems.
Looks like and old tactic to gain popularity: recommend something that could never hurt to do, presenting a minor or no problem as pretty important. Do this enough times to enough people and by chance some will benefit from it, raising your profile.
This is my take as well. All people I know either share the expenses or share different streaming accounts, which by extension is a share of expenses, just across the streaming universe instead of only Netflix. Now Netflix may not be too hurt by being the first to do this, but if all the streaming services do this, it will basically amount to a price hike for most people.
What part of that is about "ridiculous copyright laws backfiring", though?

It seems like it's copyright laws working as intended. (I may not love that I have to pay to access a 25 year old movie legally, but it hardly feels objectively unfair or ridiculous that I have to do that.)
Linux does not work on systems without coherent caches between CPU accesses (some IO device incoherence is allowed). There is no cache shootdown IPI like that required[1].

ARM and x86 both can delay stores behind later loads. "Timeliness" of when stores might become visible is almost never specified exactly by any ISA or implementation (maybe some real-time CPUs, but Linux does not depend on such), but you will never get into the situation where a memory operation reads "stale" data beyond a fairly strict specification of memory consistency.

ARM does have some weaker ordering than x86, but this is all about how operations within a single CPU/thread behave. An ARM CPU can perform two loads out of order, and perform two stores out of order (with respect to what other CPUs can observe). Use barriers to order those, and you have ~same semantics as x86, and those barriers don't need to "reach out" on the interconnect or to the caches of other CPUs. Once the data leaves your store queues, both x86 and ARM, all other CPUs will see the result, because for it to be accepted into coherent caches, all other copies in other caches need to be invalidated first.

[1] Linux does work on some CPUs where instruction caches and/or the instruction fetch/execution pipeline are not coherent with data operations so there can be some situations on some CPUs where code modification may need to send IPIs to other CPUs to flush their instruction caches or pipelines, so speaking purely about memory data operations and data caches above.
> I don't think Google will use those secrets to look into your other accounts, but they can be politely requested by some governments to divulge the secrets, and not tell you about it

A lot of companies and institutions use GA for 2FA for their secure systems too. Google doesn't even need to willingly share, as soon as the possibility of extracting the data is there they paint a target on it. External attacks are now extremely low hanging fruit with that unencrypted traffic. And internal attacks like getting an employee with access to that unencrypted data to provide it (knowingly or unknowingly) are relatively low effort and don't require the overhead of any legal proceedings or complex exploits. And if this goes through official/legal channels, Google doesn't have one single shred of protection between that data and what authorities can (shockingly legally) ask for.

Having the data is a liability for Google. Transferring it insecurely is also a liability for the user.
Hahaha yeah I think it should just be trained on my morality, since it's undoubtedly the best morality there is.
Well you have to keep in mind that these productions are basically discrete companies themselves.

Providing such a guarantee would be akin to guaranteeing that a multitude of small businesses will not fail... which just isn't really possible.
netflix scammed me early on in their development before it was a household name, by requiring someone to pay for a subscription to redeem a gift subscription. I bought a gift sub from them that was unredeemable by their nonsense rules, basically. As a result, i simply acquired everything i would have watched on netflix elsewhere instead. They've lost years of revenue from me for one month's stolen sub fee.

Did they forget that piracy is a service problem? This is just going to have the same effect
I deleted my Facebook account. I lost access to several accounts that way, luckily none of them were important.

At least this time I chose to close my account. Next time it can be Facebook/Google/Microsoft/Twitter/Apple who decide that you're a robot/fraud/whatever after receiving a bunch of automated reports.

If Google ever bans me, I'm screwed in many different yet interesting ways.

For who does not know, think Enterprise Integration, like Tibco or IBM MQ. Brokers, Adapters and all that. Still core at some large corporations.

If I am not mistaken, not by size, but by valuation metrics, still considered one of the most successful NASDAQ IPOs ever. Back in the crazy year of 2000:

"...In February 2000, webMethods had its initial public offering (IPO) on the NASDAQ exchange.Just before the offering, the share price rose from its planned $13 to $35, and in its first day of trading, closed over $212 per share. The company raised only $175 million, while being valued at almost $7 billion..."
That they have impossibly generic names? Every time this company's mentioned people probably thing they were referencing software development in general.
> Y'all are defending not paying while still using said service with arguments that don't support your case.

I am barely using Netflix though. But yes it happens that sometimes I'll watch something on Netflix, perhaps once or twice a month. Will that warrant a $20 monthly subscription? The answer to that is hell no. They offer a bad service and require us to pay a lot for it so it's simply not worth the money.

I don't pirate that much either anymore tbh. I most often than not just do something else instead. Sometimes I'll pirate it if we really want to watch a movie and it's not available though.
Actually a valid point, but if you're gonna be that condescending about someone not considering that part of the population you should have something better than weasel words to argue how big it is.
Yes, rediscovered once time again but by children.
Mainframe business is still a big deal in a lot of places. Banking, finance, insurance, etc. It is a game of inertia & historical baggage, but that also brings with it a stabilizing aspect. Next time you swipe your debit or credit card, you are almost certainly interacting with at least one mainframe. Likely several if the transaction is processed "online".

You might be able to build a more reliable & cheaper system using x86/ARM in a modern datacenter, but you would have a hell of a time getting regulators to approve it. You'd have to make IBM-free finance/insurance your entire business if you wanted to try it out. For those in the industry, it's usually not even worth talking about until you are at the M&A table and someone has a shitload of capital they would like to set on fire.

Starting from zero is not really an option for the types of businesses that are most entrenched in mainframe usage. Part of it is this legacy, but I strongly believe the other part is "valuable lessons learned over many decades". Not rocking the boat used to be something that really bothered me in my 20s and early 30s. Now, I totally get the mindset. Staying on IBM is the most responsible option in many places. It's not impossible to teach GenZ to write COBOL. Failing that, I am certain we will have an LLM that can bridge the gap soon enough.

Consider this anecdata. My car got stolen recently and I had to fill out a 40 pager for my insurance claim. Of course, they sent it as a PDF, yet I had to fill and print to send via snail mail. Of course, with another 20 pages of copies about inspections, overall history of the car and photos.

A week later the police sent me another 40 pager to fill via snail mail. Where I had to fill exactly the same information by hand - again send it back with the same 20 pages about inspections and so on. Of course, the insurance needs to be kept up to date with the latest information the police receives, so I had to copy the whole thing and sent it to the insurance again.

If you don't call that bureaucracy, I don't know what qualifies as such. I don't even talk about the process of unregistering the car, which is another similar story.
I'm curious why, even if you were going to approximate it, it would be rounded up to the nearest decimal rather than rounded in the standard way to 3.1?

Not everyone is trolling on the internet my fellow human.

It is not "giving the answer to the model" if you adjust the prompt with additional instructions like "this is a test question" or "use common sense". It is about creating the correct frame of context. With these kind of adjustments GPT-4 passes every novel Winograd scheme I have presented it with.
