> If we create something of value it will naturally survive

This is easy to say if you're not involved in the work it takes to keep something alive.
I think the Internet is more like electricity vs vinyl. In the US at least, how we transmit electricity has been fairly consistent for around 100 years - a toaster from the 20s will still work today in the same outlets. I think the Internet, and html, will be the same - small changes over time but fundamentally the same.
To repeat something I said to start this thread (edit: just realized I actually said this in a different thread nearby[0] - my responses here probably only make sense in the context of my responses in that thread, sorry about that), which I think seems to keep getting lost: It is not impossible to enforce this, it is (like any arms race) a costly ongoing burden that is much more difficult to implement than the "you can easily enforce this" responses in this thread.

This is no different than any other "I could implement this in a weekend" thread that you see here. I'm not saying "Dropbox is incapable of implementing enforcement for this ToS violation", I'm saying that I'm confident they've already spent many millions of dollars on it, and have decided (wisely, in my view) that changing the product to more fundamentally preclude this kind of usage is the better trade-off to take.

So, having said that, to answer your question: at 750GB per day, uploading 1PB in a week only requires parallelism of 200. That is not many users for an "enterprise" account. (And I suspect this becomes costly well below 1PB per week.)

You'll be able to think of "well you can just ..." for that as well, and I promise you that there are "the abusers can work around that by doing ..." for those things. Because, like I keep saying, it's just a normal arms race pattern. It's not that there is nothing you can do about any particular thing that people do, it's that you have to keep doing it ad nauseam.

By the way, this change to the product is also just one more parry in this arms race. It is unlikely to fully solve the problem (and I'm confident they know that), just another useful tool.

The ban on advertising targeted at things like sexual preferences will be interesting to watch. As some people have pointed out, Netflix for example seems to be very good at targeting people who are "questioning", anecdotally before they begin to consciously do so; the suggestion being that this isn't intentional.

So if an AI decides that I'm likely to buy something LGBT if they offer it to me, despite using no label for the category, rather a token in the net, then does this break the rule? If so, can I ever responsibly use any form of AI-based targeting?

No, you are conflating the immigration process (which is an attempt by an individual to obtain the same rights that citizens have whilst in the country) with the crossing of a border (which is a much simpler process and is usually handled right at the border). The two are completely disjoint. The article deals with border crossings, not with the immigration process as such, though usually if you want to immigrate you first have to cross a border. This is why the United States is so picky about people that start their immigration process once they are already inside the United States. They would much prefer you to start that process from without so that you can be stopped and refused entry at the border. Doing that later - for instance, through deportation - is much harder.

Asylum seekers anywhere do not have the same rights as the citizens of that particular country or immigration area: if they did we wouldn't call them asylum seekers. Asylum seekers are simply a special class of immigrants for whom special processes and documentation requirements may apply and who may have extra rights based on their asylum seeking status. There are whole bodies of law around this theme.

Finally: the EU doesn't have a constitution. So you can't directly compare the EU situation to the United States one anyway, and from both a border crossing and immigration perspective the two are vastly different.

The thing you are referring to is that specifically undocumented asylum seekers (of which there are many) can have their phones searched to ensure that their story matches. You can agree or not with that policy (personally I'm conflicted about it, I can see both sides here) but that isn't anything at all like the border guards being allowed to search any phone they think is interesting.

It depends, of course, on your definition of value. It sounds a bit circular: if it is valuable, it will survive. If it doesn't survive, it isn't valuable.

For example, the public Norwegian broadcaster NRK lost its recordings of the moon landing (which was also the first night sending) [1], which I would consider quite valuable. Indeed, there is a long list of lost TV recordings from the early days of television [2].

A LTO8 30TB tape with 30 years archival life is $60

A 5GB gold DVD with 100 years archival life is $10.

A safety deposit box in one of the largest banks in America can be as little as $30/year.

IMO, both the bank and the data in the dvd/tape have more chances of survival in 100 years than WordPress.

Hi, can you perhaps explain what Gutenberg, Divi, Elementor, Aveda, and Salient do?

Just a curious party without much knowledge. I hosted WP on a VPS maybe a decade ago. I wasn’t very skilled with it but my friends needed a site. I forgot about it for a while and I guess it wasn’t at the time evergreen/self-updating and eventually it was used to send a lot of spam emails somehow. That’s about the extent of my knowledge of WP. I tried building a simple static site generator once on that same VPS where you could have HTML page headers and footers and page content templates, and it worked fine for me, but I tried to get a non-tech user to use it and they could not, and were ecstatic after I finally suggested that they try WP.com - they loved it.

All it does is to protect the incumbents and burry everyone else in bureaucracy.

But hey, by all means if EU wants to be even further behind US and China and not go through yet another decade of not building any significant companies then they should just go ahead.
Your second model of advertising ("humans may not be as complicated") is how advertising worked for thousands of years, and how it continues to work today.
Even for Google and Facebook, the vast majority of ad spend is not narrowly targeted.

What you call "Ads 1.0" is a snakeoil fad and isn't successful in the industry.

The reason the big Internet giants collect user data isn't really for advertising (that's only a justification), they do it to have leverage when dealing with nation-states and governments.

Honest question: Why are people still putting so much effort into making humanoid robots? I understand investment in robotics in general, I just find this particular little branch of that tree to be a bit mystifying. It seems to get a lot more investment than it seems to be worth, to me. Is there some reason to think "humanoid-ness" is a particularly useful property for robots to exhibit?

Edit to add: Thanks for all the responses about how the world is already engineered for human-shaped things. That makes sense to me! And it wasn't really on my radar. Consider my thinking on this updated :)
> For example, if you really think something is worthwhile, write a book instead of keeping it on Wordpress.

Why "instead"? Do both. Writing a book doesn’t really help preserving information: unless you’re really famous you’ll sell a few copies that will go lost, and in 10-20 years it will be impossible to find a single copy of the book. Plus a Wordpress blog is accessible from anywhere, while a book –again unless if you’re very successful– is usually distributed in one country only.

spacectl, vcs-agent and terraform-provider-spacelift are only useful with your proprietary product. prometheus-exporter is a very small exporter to monitor your proprietary product and has no utility beyond that.

I'm not sure what spcontext does because it has no documentation but I'm sure I could read the 10 commits to find out. The only none trivial project in the list is celplate which actually looks nice, but even there most of its complexity is in cel-spec.

> Whenever there's an opportunity to sponsor a project on which we heavily rely, we do that.

Come on, on Spacelift GitHub profile there is one project sponsored, and only since August 24!

> we don't maintain any major open source projects as a company

So you never had to handle project management of large open-source supports, community support, doing code reviews every day and handling feature requests from the community?

Yes, HashiCorp has been slow to respond to PRs and did not always commmunicate clearly, but so does many large open-source project like PostgreSQL, Python, Linux, etc. Managing a large open-source project takes more time than clicking on the merge button on GitHub. Users don't magically come fix all the bugs in the software, and develop complex new features.

HashiCorp did contribute a lot, and there is still a lot to learn from their projects, there is Raft, the autopilot, various library that are used a lot in the Go ecosystem, including go-plugin, a programming language with its specific type system and plenty more. After all, the change of license is making noises because we their tools defines part fo the DevOps world and we all use them a lot.

I wish HashiCorp would have kept using the MIT license, but using the BUSL is still miles ahead better than companies that are completely closed source.

From the outside perspective it looks like you support Free Software as in Free Beer more than in Free Speech. You are supportive when others are actually maintaining the projects for you, and you just want them to merge your contributions quickly. It is a very efficient way to externalize some of your costs, but you only step forward to actually to help manage them when your bottom line is threatened.

That's ok, it looks like you love money more than open-source ideas. That's perfectly fine but don't pretend otherwise.

Some others companies that signed the pledge have actually been maintaining open-source projects and have a leg to stand on. Spacelift loves having the high moral ground and the extra publicity.

Release the core of your product as open-source, like HashiCorp did for 9 years, and it will change my mind.

I'm quite excited about technology. I'm not too excited about the sloppy seconds in technology. We seem to substitute performance for convience. For example the whole need for FSR in rendering to just to get playable performance shouldn't be the desired output. It seems like we keep settling for the half ass solution.

AAA Games coming onto desktops needing 4090 with DLSS just to be playable at 4k just feels wrong.

People will read this article and draw possibly misleading conclusions about the entire country. Emigration is certainly a problem everywhere in Albania, but northeastern Albania where the town in question is located, is a special case. It has always been, for centuries, the poorest, most backward part of the country, unable to benefit from trade and intellectual exchange with more prosperous neighbors like other regions of Albania could. Even within the country people were moving en masse from there to Shkodër near the coast, or Tirana.

>> The last option is more rare because smart people are less susceptible to propaganda

This is actually bullshit, you can easily manipulate smart person, by appealing to their perceived smartness :)

Anyway, just because someone is smart does not mean that they are also highly moral. It's often like: give a person opportunity for professional growth ("you'll be working on our moon landing program") and they will sell their own mother.

$38k is a huge sum, but the problem is, it’s not enough. $1USD in 1920 inflated to roughly $15USD here in 2023. The same thing is going to happen, by design, between now and 2120.

This approximates to a pyramid scheme; or maybe, the US Social Security system is another great correlate. The only way it keeps going after even only ten years is raising prices for new customers subsidizing existing customers.
Before you write these holier-than-though, I-know-the-plight-of-the-common-man comments: check your intuition, are the things they told us in school growing up in Northern Europe still true?

I used SE salaries because this is HN. What does a ”real world” worker actually make?

If you look up the national median salaries you will find the median US worker makes more than the median German household, or more than twice the individual German worker for the same job.

So the exact same math I just did applies on the national statistics as well. Maybe it’s worth thinking about why it feels so important that this isn’t true, that northern EU workers surely must be much better off than their suffering US counterparts. The truth is much more complex than that.

The root of the issue seems to be that general scans are simply not that informative unless problems are very obvious or couched with other symptoms. If they can't tell the difference between a benign lump and a tumor without additional information then they don't actually serve a useful purpose. Garbage data is useless, after all.

Using them in a targeted manner because the patient is reporting symptoms or somesuch appears to be a different use case. The signal to noise ratio of an untargeted scan is otherwise too high to be of much value determining treatment.
