That's part of the reason I've started moving away from their routers - I still have an Edgerouter but never went to the Dream Machine or USIP routers. At the moment the OPNSense appliances [1] which are made by the company that sponsors the fork (Deciso B.V.) are my pick for that. They're an EU company, and the thing runs fully open source software on a commodity embedded AMD chip.

I'm still using the access points, since I can run my own controller still, either virtualised in a container or VM, or a raspberry pi and you don't have to connect it to the cloud. I haven't found anything better, TP Link seem to have some interesting looking stuff but I worry about the security given they're based in Shenzhen...

Are you not given access to the stenographer's recordings as a jury member? You're basically doing the same job as them, right?
Personally I don't think YouTube should have any restrictions on who they let use their platform.

If I started a platform for Bluegrass musicians to upload their music and someone started uploading videos of shooting guns I should be able to cut them off without any interference at all.

And they should be able to start their own website that lets folks upload videos of people shooting their guns.

YouTube is pretty liberal in the range of content they allow. They didn't boot Brand off the platform, the just quit paying him for using it. That doesn't bother me a bit.

The current Supreme Court has suggested being open to revisiting the insular cases

That would create additional outcomes to PR that they are never asked about

The insular cases are pretty unrecognizably appallingly racist for what we expect of the court, really go read them, so I could see them overruling it and wind up dropping Puerto Rico and Congress being unable to reach consensus on any other outcome

YouTube is a scam. The SEC needs to shut them down. The government needs to seize it without compensation and nationalize it such that it can be run in a legal, non-discriminatory way which is consistent with the principles of democracy which made it possible for YouTube to exist in the first place. Surely that's the last straw. Nationalize YouTube.
I think nobody in this thread got your factually inaccurate joke.
The simple version would be "finger crawling", like you're dragging a piece of paper. I think it is intuitive, it just seems to need more explicit instruction for people nowadays who never really did arts and crafts as kids, and built their understanding on new non-physical conventions instead (like three-finger gestures as in the other reply - I find those weird, not at all intuitive, and sometimes difficult to do because my fingers are different lengths - drag is mostly fine since I can just move my whole hand, but other gestures not so much).

This happens a lot. I've read stories too about British journalists being cultivated by their intelligence services to make sure that the leaks they want to be published get published and the leaks they don't want published don't.

There's a lot of pontificating about the virtuous, important, selfless job journalists do, but when they're manipulated to such an extent not just by the Government and intelligence agencies but also by their corporate sponsors... It's hard to not be a bit cynical...
The attacker could just proxy the plaintext by issuing HTTPS requests to the backend server instead of issuing HTTP requests.

Also, what threat model does SSL protect against that doesn’t involve an attacker in control of a hop in the path between the client and the server?
Anywhere you need a domain name that you are sure will never, ever, ever resolve via the root DNS servers at any point in the future.

ICANN fights tooth and nail to eliminate these. As far as they are concerned, every syntactically-valid domain name except .arpa and .example.{com,net,org} is theirs to sell -- even if they choose not to do so at the current moment. RFC9476 is basically the IETF finally getting fed up with ICANN's nonsense.

One concrete example is adding more onion-like namespaces. As long as the name is cryptographically self-certifying, you don't need a central authority to manage it. But it is generally a good idea to use a section of the namespace that the central authority isn't going to simply put up for sale at some point in the future. It's actually in their interest to do this, in order to sabotage competing decentralized protocols. Or they might just talk a lot about doing it, in order to scare people.

For example, I2P has .b32 which is their version of .onion. Tor shouldn't be special; other projects should be allowed to try out new ideas.
Hey best of luck with this! I would have loved something like this on my trip to India.

To get anywhere and do anything required increasingly elaborate setups and even personal password sharing between myself and new inlaws that hardly knew me.

A lot of time and money was wasted and somehow in the process I was banned from Uber for several months.

I have the same advice for you I would give to basically every other business that caters to tourists in India: charge a lot more and make it a lot more convenient. If you need in-person verification and can't get an airport kiosk, give me an option to pay $50 and have someone come to my hotel or have someone pick me up and bring me to Cheq. It's so difficult to get around before you get some kind of digital payment setup.

> So we see the term sexual assault and sexual harrassment used for example, when a guy asks a woman out on a date and she doesn’t find that an appealing invitation.

It's a bit humorous that you agree with the assessment "several layers of hyperlinks and "someone told me" just to find a vague claim" then don't even provide that much support for your own third-hand, fourth-hand, or higher comment.

We know from EEOC training that there are indeed ways to ask someone for a date and have it be workplace sexual harassment.

Scenario #1: "Wanna go on a date tonight? I think I can get you off night shift if you say yes." is straight-forward quid pro quo sexual harassment.

Scenario #2: Whenever employee X sees a new, young, female employee he goes up to her and, while staring at her breasts the whole time, asks her out on a date. The staff get annoyed about the continual sexual objectification and complain about X's rude behavior. Under EEOC guidelines, management acts to prevent claims they have a hostile workplace.

Both of these unappealing invitations are forms of workplace sexual harassment, which has a higher legal requirement than other uses of the phrase.

These laws have been in place for decades .. and you're right, the anti-abortion movement has been around for decades too. But it's not due to online rumors but part of a broader anti-feminist movement wanting "traditional" male power over women.

Can you dig through the hyperlinks and find a less vague account of your example?

Given the 100s of millions of men who have asked women out, this should be millions of times easier to find than the ones I found about Stallman. Examples should be everywhere, not just men's rights forums.

Given I know someone with a first-hand account about Stallman, and don't know anyone matching your story, tells me your scenario is rare.

Ruby processes don't return the memory to the system,they reuse memory already allocated. This is for efficiency - allocating and freeing system memory isn't free. Even if it did, your peak memory usage would be the same. It doesn't allocate memory it doesn't need.

If your memory usage doesn't plateau you have a memory leak which would be caused by a bug in your code or a dependency.

But 500 to 1gb of memory required for a production rails app isn't unusual. Heroku knows this, which explains their bonkers pricing for 2gb of memory. They know where to stick the knife.

It's significantly harder to make the headsets. They wouldn't need to place this complicated order with Sharp, for example. But, it's also why reason they have an opportunity as a new manufacturer and have taken orders at a premium price. They need to ship this and grow to place successive parts orders, but I'd think they could sustain the business at a few thousand sales annually. That's already a small percentage of the VR market and awareness should grow significantly next year.

Well reasoned, well written, and I think you're probably correct in that it exists in both column A and column B in roughly equal measure.

I wish I hadn't read that about Noel Fielding. I love The Mighty Boosh.

It's fundamentally "weird" for someone with 33 years of life experience to be able to connect, in a relationship-context, to a 16 year old. Having said that, celebrity-adjacent 16 year-olds (ie. Pixie Geldoff) probably have more life experience (for better or more likely worse) than your random 16 year-old. Still way up on the "weird" scale though.

ACME doesn’t require control over the DNS record though. It has a mode where it issues a challenge and you put it on port 80 of your web server.

The DNS based attack would be harder than doing that, for, say, a malicious cloud vendor to implement.

Also, you don’t need a private key to bootstrap a new domain with a new ACME provider.
If you enjoy stretching what you can get done with limited environments, I recently discovered BusyBox includes not only an AWK implementation but an HTTP server[0] that supports CGI as well. I spent a weekend setting up a really simple web-app using recutils [1] as the database and BusyBox AWK as the programming language.

If you enjoy bricolage and you feel like wasting a weekend, I would recommend giving it a try!

I agree with you that rule of law is good. I think the copyright length should be reduced. But you're right, that just because I believe copyright length should be reduced doesn't give me or anyone else the right to infringe copyright.

However, you seem to be trying to use copyright to enforce secrecy on a non-digital item, which doesn't work. Someone who owns that rare book can put in a library for anyone to come by and read.

Using copyright to enforce secrecy on digital items (Youtube videos) partially works. The reason it doesn't fully work is because there are exceptions for fair use.
+1 everything is a graph
> In reality, there is no uniform standard.

> They ban people when business interests dictate it.

That is the standard. They're a private company. They're offering free services to content creators to host their content. In exchange for an ad partnership and revenue.

But YouTube/Google is the company, and for them this is a business. If they think hosting someone is bad for business they can stop hosting them.

How is it everyone here is so pro-Liberty yet fails to understand that the Libertarian position is that YouTube and the people that run it are free to host or promote whatever content they want that makes them money (as long as it's not against the law), and they can choose to not.

Brand is free to take his content somewhere else.

He is not entitled to YouTube's hosting privileges, and they're not entitled to him hosting his content there.
In pre-industrial societies children were/are used as labor therefore it was advantageous to have many children.
Companies don't choose to be common carriers if they can still be a monopoly/oligopoly without it. The reason common carrier regulations were adopted was because companies that had monopolies (some natural, some not), would use those monopolies in ways that were seen to be unfair competition.

All else equal, any company would rather pick and choose their customers rather than be forced to serve customers that they'd rather not for one reason or another.
Occasionally security products turn into malware delivery platforms as well, because they run very privileged, are sometimes more shoddily developed than what they’re protecting, and have fewer eyeballs on them than the vanilla operating system.

Not to mention they may be another Crypto AG.
> but I would have expected a dict function lookup would have been faster than the binary tree of if/else decisions.

This would just be an O(n) worst-case operation, the same as a non-optimized switch statement. In C/C++, Rust, etc it makes sense to use an array of function pointers as it degrades into a jump table, but not in Python. Same goes for an exhaustive and non-fallthrough switch statement.

Using a binary search tree (what this essentially is a flattened version of) halves the worst case.

For 8-bit CPUs, the more common paradigm is to use a giant switch statement and just order the OPs by frequency. You get the same Worst-Case, but a much better Average-Case.
Thieves who really want your iPhone will make you unlock it (or just point it to your face) and remove it from your iCloud account. Much better than using it for parts.
Yeah, whenever I mistakenly use the ad-ridden normal youtube app / website, I'm inundated with ads for investment scams and get-rich-quick-selling-ebooks-on-amazon scams and various other things that just would not pass television advertising standards. It's so strange that this is some kind of acceptable default behaviour.

Is that really the right way to think about it? Has Brand been convicted of any crime by any government? Seems more accurate to say Youtube is building an alternative security state. Heck, it's rather anarcho-capitalist if you ask me.

The most harmful things inside of a casino are the bar, the buffet, and the cigarettes.

I have spent a lot of time at casinos with family members who love eating, drinking, smoking, and gambling. Know what I've seen? I've seen that gambling is the only one of the four that hasn't killed at least one of my family members.
> taken ourselves out already.

Neither nuclear war nor a climate apocalypse is existential. Some thousands of humans would survive the worst case of either or both.

That said I agree. Human brains arose through evolution: Evolution operates within iron laws of energy efficiency, on the material it has to hand; and it only does enough to provide an advantage in production of grandchildren.

There is no a priori reason to suppose that human-level intelligence is anywhere near being a limit, absent those mechanisms.

After 15 years of software development experience, I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
It's like you don't stop learning to be more careful. Even after 15 years, my mind is expanding.
Sometimes I find code that I wrote 2 years ago which, at the time, was produced with far more care and extreme pedantic attention to detail than the average developer would have given it, yet it was still not correct for ALL POSSIBLE edge cases.
It's insanely difficult to produce correct code. I'm starting to have thoughts like "Has anyone in the world (aside from Knuth haha) written a single program which is over 10K lines of code and which is 100% bug free right now? Does such program exist?" I don't even believe that Bitcoin is bug free; it just has too many lines.

It's funny to see in this thread simultaneously the sentiment that Google's search results have gotten awful over the years due to widespread gaming of the free channel of delivering results to you and also immense skepticism that any other channel could be better than the free channel.

In general, I've found any query that's blogspammed to death, the ads are actually surprisingly useful. eg: I turn off my adblocker for any query that is "Alternatives to X (dropbox/xero/notion/figma etc.)". Every organic search result is some generic comparison website that is scraping from the same public data but the ads are generally actual product companies. I figure the companies paying their way to the top of ads have their LTV to CAC figured out and are generally going to be the ones with the highest predicted retention for me.

In this case, I have a specific intent to buy and the bid/ask mechanism for ads is much more predictive of my intent than the SEO algorithms of the organic results.
I am personally curious to see if Signal will honor their promise to leave the UK or if Meredith was simply blowing smoke.
> So I guess Youtube should instead by compelled to continue providing their monetization and hosting services to anyone who wants it until a court of law can prove they are guilty of an actual crime?

Yes, in the same way as any other public utility. (They may not have intended to become one but at this point they are)

> Who is going to compel Youtube to continue providing those services again?

The state, that's what it's for.
Well there are people who make CrossFit or veganism or entrepreneurship their whole personality... doesn't mean they are any good at it. In fact the ones who make the biggest show are often just overcompensating.
> The attacker could just proxy the plaintext by issuing HTTPS requests to the backend server instead of issuing HTTP requests.

Yes, assuming the target has HTTPS. The context I originally assumed was one where the target doesn’t yet have a certificate and is using ACME to obtain one.

Separate from that, I agree that an attacker with the ability to demonstrate domain control can subvert issuance in a way that only CT, stapling, and other “post hoc” methods can detect.
>And if you are wrong, are you also willing to apologize for hasty decision making?

Yes, although it would be a first given the severity of the accusations.

But more importantly that's entirely besides the point. You don't need a good reason, or even much of any reason at all to not do business with someone. Case in point, you can decide to not sell a wedding cake to a same sex couple because that offends your religious beliefs. That's a pretty silly and homophobic justification by most people's standards, certainly more controversial than not doing business with a suspected criminal.

But it's a good thing that right exists. If someone is innocently accused take that up with the accuser, don't interfere with the freedom of private business. It's not any third parties decision that ruined them, it's people spreading falsehoods.
