If any cloudflare employees end up here who helped decide on Capn Proto over other stuff (e.g. protobuf), what considerations went into that choice? I'm curious if the reasons will be things important to me, or things that you don't need to worry about unless you deal with huge scale.
> It's possible to support and encourage free access to scientific knowledge while not supporting IP infringement.

Not even theoretically. IP is the concept that people should be prevented from reading things without negotiating with the people who own them. So "free access" quite obviously requires that future "scientific knowledge" be excluded from IP protection, and that people who already own "scientific knowledge" be compelled and/or bribed into relinquishing their ownership.

And to expand, those options would also require the government to define what is "scientific knowledge" and what is not. Or else, I could just call my paper a satire and Elsevier could become a publisher of satires.
By running a Tor node, one helps dissidents / spy assets in Russia get information / communicate with handlers in Ukraine, USA, etc. -- Which is the reason for Tor's existence in the first place. If one is into supporting that kind of thing of course, but defense of Ukraine seems pretty popular in the US
As an exercise, I've been using Tor Browser as a daily driver on my personal laptop, and ended up with a 3-browsers approach:

* Firefox ESR -- For sites that are necessarily linked to my identity, such as HN and shopping. Sometimes this also gets sites that don't have to be linked to me, such as if I'm too lazy to copy&paste a link from HN into Tor Browser. (Keyboard switching/starting: Mod+F)

* Tor Browser -- Almost everything else. This is the bulk of my traffic, and innocuous, not "he just switched to Tor Browser, so must be doing something interesting". (Keyboard switching/starting: Mod+W)

* Chromium -- This is my total subjugation browser, used when more-private&secure options fail for something I really need/want to access. No ad blockers, but some awful DRM enabled. Current used only for one obnoxious video streaming service. I would like to get rid of this browser entirely. (Keyboard starting intentionally discouraging: Mod+P C H R O M Enter)

My vintage laptop can handle all 3 at once, just fine. Though I usually make them short-lived -- to reduce clutter, free compute resources, and clear trackers.

That's the personal laptop. My work laptops will partition browser use differently, such as for whatever the current Web development needs, and keeping all-day corporate SaaSes (e.g., GitLab, and mandated Web apps) open in one browser, while making another browser for short-lived public Web browsing sessions.

There's also a place for Tor Browser on the work laptop, for public browsing about topics that you don't want to hypothetically leak to competitors, but some companies will flip out if they detect Tor on the corporate network.
Well hot damn, learned something else today
I think it's interesting to describe the process to establish your identity in the United States if you lost ALL of your identification documents (e.g. in a house fire).

It essentially boils down to:

- Get a bunch of people you know who can verify that you are indeed who you claim to be

- Have them sign legally binding documents that attest that, yes, you are you

- Start building your paper documents all over again

We never really talk about any of this given that it's pretty rare for this to happen to someone but I think it's interesting to point out that it eventually boils down to your IRL social network.
The article mentions "Real engineers" and the bio of the author says "I have now quit engineering".....so the questions is are you really a "Real engineer" or not.

The answer on the page didn't totally explain it for me. I did get the idea that you didn't share any user data, but still had the question, okay, then, why? I think the answer is that you already have a job, and do this as a side project for fun and to be of service.

No state can manage identities without the consent of the individual because individuals have to actively protect and manage their identities and not sell them.

E.g. we protect our social security numbers against identity theft because the economic benefits of having one outweigh selling it. But when there isn't a benefit, then the identity can just be sold.

Solving the identity problem and solving the "good governance" problem are likely the same problem.
There's a lot more going on here than the initial story reports.

For more than a few academics, making big $$$ as an expert witness is a magnificent source of side income. (Fees of $1,000/hour, including lots of open-ended prep time, can be found.) That begs the question: Did the research lead to the desire to be an expert witness? Or did the desire to be an expert witness define the nature of the research project?

We'd need to know a lot more about the origins of this project before being able to referee this one. But if the state of California is worried about litigants using "researchers" to find and filter data that ordinarily would be available only through legal discovery processes, that's not a crazy worry.
Even if Scihub will never add any new paper again, it will remain extremely useful, because it contains a large number of older papers that are very difficult to obtain from any other source.

For the new papers, a significant percentage can be found as preprints in arxiv or the like, or are published in open-access journals, so the difficulty in obtaining them is typically less than for older papers that are still important.

Moreover, even if I pay a non-negligible amount of money for the access at certain journals, I frequently prefer to search for their articles on Scihub, because I can get them so much faster, without wasting time with logins or with searching for articles in the wrong place, because they were published elsewhere.

Maybe this is just a clash of cultures, but I expect to type "gcc myprog.c" on one computer, give the resulting executable to someone running the same hardware+OS, and have it just work. I don't want to be forced to enter into a contract with Apple and pay them fees to be permitted to produce software that can run on my friends' computers. I don't want them to be able, with the snap of their fingers, to remotely disable all software I've ever made, for whatever reason they deem just, like if I besmirched the good name of their leader on Twitter.

I think Apple's an awful company slowly enclosing the commons that is general purpose computing, so that it make phat bank by forcing itself as a middleman between anyone who uses their hardware and anyone who writes software for those people. I don't encourage anyone to use Apple products so I write software that can be used on almost any platform, but can also be used on Apple if you compile it correctly. Hence why stat() piques my interest, and some obj-c/swift nonsense does not. I resent any further restrictions on distribution or usage.

I should not have to justify myself or my code to Apple. I should have to justify myself to the users that be run it, and the user should have all the tools necessary to see what I'm doing in my code (e.g. wouldn't it be nice if macos hadn't crippled dtruss by default)

I don't think it's a light inconveniencing. I think it's further encroachment on the freedom to run any software on your computer for any purpose, being done to privately enrich Apple, under the marketing guise of benefit to their users.
Because chain restaurants are generally kinda gross.

The typical American chain restaurant is going to serve you something that starts with low-quality ingredients, then gets a bunch of sugar, corn syrup, seed oil, artificial food coloring, emulsifiers etc added to it until it roughly approximates the flavor, texture and color of higher-quality ingredients (at the cost of being unhealthy). Then it has various chemicals added to it to act as preservatives or maintain texture or appearance during shipping and storage and re-heating. Then it's packaged into cheap single-use plastic bags or containers that slowly leach endocrine disrupting chemicals into the food, or rapidly leach them during reheating in a microwave.

The end result is that you get something that is edible, but probably kinda gross tasting unless your palette gets used to packaged foods and fast foods, and which is going to make you fat, depressed, distracted and tired.

There's a reason America has an obesity epidemic, diabetes epidemic, falling fertility rates and widespread prescriptions of drugs for depression, anxiety, adhd, etc, and it's the food the average American is eating.

There's incorrect comments in this thread re: VyOS, Vyatta, EdgeOS.

Vyatta is the original OS, based on Debian, dating back to 2005. Its history is detailed here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyatta

In 2011, Ubiquiti launched their EdgeMax products with EdgeOS which was a fork of Vyatta Core 6.3 ported from x86 to Cavium.

In 2012, Vyatta was acquired by Brocade.

IN 2013, Vyatta Core 6.6 was forked as VyOS.

That's the rough origin of these three OSes.

I used Vyatta Core on a PC at a startup from 2009-2013 as our office router. I haven't paid attention to it or VyOS since then.

I've been running various EdgeOS routers at my home since 2014 or so, first an EdgeRouter Lite and today an EdgeRouter 4.

EdgeOS has been updated quite a bit over the years from its Vyatta Core origins, but the original developers are no longer with Ubiquiti. EdgeOS hasn't seen updates in quite some time now.

Also, not all Ubiquiti run EdgeOS. Only the EdgeRouters do. The rest of their products run a completely different OS, generally either UbiquitiOS or UnifiOS.

TCP means that all bytes must be copied to a local buffer in order to be re-sent in the case the other end didn't receive them (even though by that time they're probably old and irrelevant). Once the buffer is full you cannot send more data and must wait for the other end to ack them (potentially indefinitely, though most implementations will eventually time out after long enough). This means that if you wanted to send 10Gbps unthrottled to another continent, you'd need a buffer of 500MB per TCP session, assuming no data loss, and consumer keeping up at line rate.

TCP is just not a good fit for anything that needs high-performance or bounded sending times. What it's good for is giving you a simple high-level abstraction for streaming bytes when you'd rather not design your networked application around networking.

Building the right logic for your application is not difficult (most often, just let the requester resend, which you needs to do anyway in the age of fault-tolerant REST services, or just wait for more recent data to be pushed) and easier than tweaking TCP to have the right performance characteristics.

> the ultimate and perhaps only proof of personhood is being a person, engaged in the world

I buy this.

Daniel Suarez had a very similar idea, although he referred to it as the bot problem[0]. I believe this approach of identities withstanding "the test of time" solves the oracle problem but at the cost of a delayed solution. Initially you have lots and lots of bots and Sybil attacks are common. Then after a while, identities/nyms that exist and interact with the world increase in trustworthiness. Trustworthy identities will eventually be stolen or sold to bad actors, but like fake identities today they will be expensive.

My identity on hackernews is over 11 years old. Creating such an identity with the comment history, connection to a true name, and content over 11 years would be very expensive. Likely more expensive that a fake passport.

For instance Islamic State terrorists were buying counterfeit passports allowing them to enter the EU for 15,000 USD [1].

The major downside of such a system is that isolated people or people with few resources would be at a major disadvantage and we would essentially be replicating much of inequality of the credit score system.

I noticed there were French tacos (TINOs), but it seemed like the "taco" popularity was leading to a few closer-to-Tex-Mex taco places as well.

This was around the Bastille, so maybe hipster culture?

Overall, a decent attempt, but the salsa was a miss (no cilantro? and not sure what they did to the tomatoes) and the seasonings were still very French.

The irony is afaict, France has all of the ingredients needed. In typically amazingly-fresh-and-delicious French fashion.

But hey, it was still a better take than the Italian Tex-Mex I had in New England -- cinnamon on tortilla chips?!

> forums their mods are really pushy and dismissive

Yes I agree. I argued with them at length about having a real process for handling bugs that is transparent. They have no method of evaluating the need or priority of anything as they rely only on their forum.

Basically somewhat the gist is that some time ago Affinity decided due to a lot of negative complaints they simply will be less transparent about everything so that nobody could complain. The result of course was obvious, all complaints became about the lack of transparency. Which also resulted in many content creators dropping Affinity because they felt the product didn't have a future as no more communication from the company. So there went their free advertising as well. Terrible management decisions for sure.
> as long as individual PII is removed

The devil is in the details. These records were likely not designed to be shared and I'd assume the entire system contains vulnerabilities that could create leakage. Leakage that could be used to harm individuals in a variety of ways - from discriminating future prospects to harassment and much much more.

I agree in principle to what you're saying but we need to be truthful about what these current systems are capable of.
Whataboutism is the standard SOP to derail conversations, esp. when related to international politics.

Other tactics include injecting hot button issues like race, gender, or TSLA into topics -- "lightning rods" -- or setting up wild strawmen to distract and create dog-pile situations.

Ideally, combine these approaches together, and have them speak from the view you want to discredit.

Multiple participants also lend legitimacy, so use long-establish sockpuppet accounts and bots to give the appearance of consensus.
As I have said elsewhere, this is the compromise position. The extreme position is "there is no option for pasteboard access at all and all pasteboard interactions must happen through OS-provided, fully disintermediated controls."

You already have a compromise: you can, if you insist and if your user consents--not Apple through some "trusted certificate" granting process but the user themselves--choose to not follow standard system flows. Or you can follow standard system flows and receive implicit consent by the user when they click 'Copy' in the share sheet.

Why is seeking consent so terrifying a prospect? And why should anyone privilege "your flows" over that consent?
> data should be public as long as individual PII is removed

This is one of those things when ideology doesn't match the real world. If the amount of data is large enough and with enough parameters, removing PII doesn't do anything to protect privacy.

What about medical records? What about protected classes? What about data about vulnerable people or victims?

Student data is protected by another layer of regulation and for good reason. Also, the judiciary is a 'public' institution in general. Should we not seal records for minors? 'No exceptions' - year right..
