It's very naive to think that Apple's solution would remain as described in that paper. All it takes is a push for 'proactive searching for images not in the database' through e.g. models predicting whether an image is CSAM or something and you have countless cases like [0]. This needs to be wholly unacceptable. Once the system is put in place, expanding it is a much easier pill for the public to swallow.

You're just advocating for frog boiling.

Having a good game is table stakes for sure but I'd not ignore what the OP is saying about marketing spend relating to marketing effectiveness. You can't buy a frontpage slot on Steam but you can do simple things like adding translations that will get your game shown in more regions. Which is quintessentially a marketing activity.

Then you have the ability to affect things through off-platform marketing. If you make use of that to find success the organic discovery on Steam compounds the result.

A good game is table stakes though and good relates significantly to the market segment your game is in. Understanding that is also part of marketing the game.
Isn't it that Japan is REALLY inward-focused society? I've read multiple times that watching their TV as a foreigner is a weird experience, for the most part they talk about stuff going on in Japan more so than anywhere else.
Link? From what I remember, the details in that case where handed over in cooperation. Was there anything actually denied? There was only the issue around retention/deletion of emails, but even that didn't include a tech proof AFAIK.

> I can select "run Python as a REPL on Windows" in your post, right click, search and find an answer within a minute.

That takes place only after you search for the python installer, download it, install it, check the environment flags, and restart your terminal of choice.

The web is jam-packed with examples of how problematic it is to setup and deploy Python on Windows, and we're not even touching the problem of how some fundamental packages, such as anything involving the file system, is either riddled with platform-specific gotchas or does not work at all.

Setting up a REPL is a far more involved process than it's being casually described in this thread.
Got anything to back that up? Businesses managed to thrive before when taxes were considerably higher. How do you account for the Gilded Age? How were those monopolies different than today and how did taxes and bureaucracy exacerbate issues then? Because there are many parallels between them and now.
That's what _you_ and _I_ think.

Most conversations I have with non-techy people, they end up saying "Yes" to both.

I predicted this the moment I saw the React dev tools icon going blue when browsing GitHub. My comment (which I can’t find right now, I’m on my phone) was along the lines of them going the “Reddit way”. A totally worse experience for the end user just for the happiness of the React fanboys working there.

I already can’t stand the code browsing UI, which randomly closes or open a sidebar as you navigate back, or the search input which doesn’t even look good to me. What a total shame they’re messing it up so badly. GitHub had one of the best UIs in my opinion, and they’re just messing it up for the sake of keeping some devs happy.
> Other people being able to verify that an email really was sent by me does serve my interests, because such verification establishes trust.

DKIM, the technology considered by the article, does not prove this. The D stands for domain; it asserts nothing about the user that may have sent the email. Even if the domain is yours, you might delegate to another service or two, or you may have more than one user, or some automation in place. In any case, the recipient has little, if any, way to verify that and in all likelihood doesn't care that much; if they did, they wouldn't be relying on DKIM.

> There are very few legitimate situations where you don't want non-repudiation...

As a service provider, I'd probably want this. If it gets me out from the middle of someone else's dispute and doesn't have an ill effect on the service otherwise, I'd welcome it.

Yeah, this is not the western idea of Pickle.

These are long lasting, chilli powder filled, Mustard powder based goodness, that is tasty throughout the year, filling and an absolute delight.

There are so many fond memories of eating mango pickle with steaming hot rice, in the hot summers in my home.

In every Indian Home (at least in the south that I know about), you will find at least a couple of these pickles stocked all the time. Mango, Tomato, Tamarind are very famous.

Also, many westerners don't know about Powder delicacies, meant to be eaten with rice, dosas, idly, etc. I personally know atleast a dozen types of these powders.

These are nutritious and absolutely delicious.

Some hot rice with a pickle and a powder, capped off with curd rice is a wholesome meal when there is no time or you are too tired.

A Call to Action: Lessons from Ukraine for the Future Force [pdf]
> What exactly is your justification for regarding your right to privacy in your communication with your loved ones is more important than the right of the police to fight child abuse?

Violation of privacy is harmful. The police is not supposed to cause unnecessary harm. Given that the vast majority of people are not child abusers, there will be a great amount of harm for no gain. And most child abusers will find ways to evade the surveillance. This is not even remotely close to a reasonable bargain.

> If you really want people on the other side of the debate to understand you, you need to stop being so simplistic

We were talking about the general population and how they perceive the same topic given different framings. Most people think in simplistic terms when it comes to topics that they don't actively engage with.

> there are very good justifications for their positions if you remove the practical limitations of being able to stop abuse - which they do not understand, and I suspect a lot of people in tech even also fail to comprehend.

Are there very good reasons to fight child abuse? Of course. But if non-technical people believe that there is a magical technology that can deliver what politicians claim then you have to challenge them to explain where their beliefs come from. And precisely because they actually don't understand the technology they have to admit that they actually can't form a well-founded opinion on it. You might not be able to make them understand why the practical limitations make this a bad idea, but you can make them understand that there is an important gap in their knowledge on the topic. And something that everyone can understand is: Not every solution is actually a good or even effective solution.
My mind is blown. I always thought of pickling as a very microbial phenomenon:

“Probiotic pickles are a common myth, Krish said. “Probiotic means the presence of microbes. For a pickle to survive decades, it has to have zero microbes. When you pickle in salt or acids, all bacteria is killed,” he explained, adding that such pickles can be called postbiotic.”

The relational db/DOD/ECS solution would be to just not force things into a single type.

We don’t have one melee fighter, but usually multiple, so design for that case. Normalize your data (split data that’s optional into own types) and have multiple tables/arrays for each of these components. Then create another table for the possible combinations, e.g. a melee fighter table. You then iterate over the melee fighter table with your melee code rather than the component tables
One of my grand mothers was a teacher and yet she bore 9 children. She lived through WW2 in the Asia/Pacific. All her children got were engineers, couple of doctors and a successful entrepreneur. What's more interesting than that? The truth is that inequality, modernity and self-love is going push us into a demographic collapse. Being a wirehead/hobbyist is definitely less fulfilling and less noble.
Apparently the only marketing this game had is a single reddit post and discord, I expect to find something on twitter for this type of games.
Maybe I am alone, but I find fake stories like this that act to dirty histories less entertaining and more just irritating when I realize “Oh, I am being lied to, thanks.” The worst is that years from now I will likely be left with vague recollections of this story and my brain won’t have adequately marked the memories as fiction.

It plays on the cheap shock value of starting off sounding entirely plausible, and I can see people falling for it here ITT. I don't like it.

I worked on Dropbox Paper and I find the last anecdote hard to believe.

Every engineer and PM (there was only one) I knew on the team was aware of the origins of the Paper codebase and the connections to Wave, since it was a fork of Hackpad (acquired by Dropbox) which in turn was a fork of Etherpad (acquired by Google).

Japan's immigration policies are actually pretty welcoming to educated foreigners. They publish all the rules, if you meet the criteria (basically getting any white collar job here will do the trick) then you can get a work visa, and there is a well-documented and formulaic long-term path to getting permanent residence (which is very fast if you meet the highly skilled professional criteria, which actually aren't a very high bar; you can get most of the way there by having a college degree, reasonable pay and not being old).

The problem is more that they speak a language that people do not want to spend time learning, do not have a particularly dynamic economy, and have issues with work culture, gender inequality, and so on that turns off many foreigners from making the jump.
There are things I don't really love doing like ghostwriting company blogs but if the project is short and well-defined (and is something I can actually do a good job of fairly quickly), I'll take a few $K from you. I'd be much more hesitant to commit to something more open-ended even if the income stream were good if it were something I was doing strictly for the money.
I pay way more in taxes than I spend on housing or education. I pay more in taxes every year than I paid for 4 years of college. So yeah, taxes are definitely a bigger consideration.
I'm Canadian and my wife is American, and we have absolutely the same disagreement. To me, a couple is exactly two, and to her, it's a synonym for "a few". We compromise by being explicit whenever that word is used.

I can easily find fresh broccoli for around $1.50/lb at several grocery stores near me here in the US. There's loads of stores with a variety of vegetables that are decently cheap and are also eligible under my state's food stamp/child food supplement programs for low income people.

Looking at price indexes from the US Fed it might just be cheap for me here. The average seems close to $2/lb.

> Marketing effectiveness is not closely related to marketing spend on the Steam market for indie games.

I would disagree with this, you can absolutely buy your way to the front page of Steam if you know what you’re doing. On Steam, everyone’s front page is different so it’s perhaps not as obvious as hitting the front page of HN though and it’s in the interests of Steam & most successful indies to paint a narrative of purely organic growth leading to great success.

You don’t necessarily have to have an “exceptional game” but you do need to know your audience, what they like & how to reach them. Even then, once you’ve got that stuff down, you don’t just build it & hope they’ll come via the Steam algorithm. That’ll only really help you once you’re over a certain tipping point & it’s getting to that tipping point where the judicial use of a sensible marketing budget will make all the difference.

Bringing it back to the points raised in the article, it’s very much the believe that “all you need to do is make an exceptional game” that causes indie developers to sink years into a single make-or-break game which almost certainly won’t recoup its development costs.

Tech platforms haven’t been designed to think about death
Deniability means an adversary can't prove you did X, not that you can prove you didn't do X.

So to check if the property holds, the question is not: can you prove the key was public when the email was sent, it is a) can the adversary prove when the email was sent, and b) can the adversary prove that the key was not public at that timestamp?

On a), the adversary cannot just rely on Date: headers if those headers are signed by a public key, and the private key is now public - someone faking an email could just back-date the Date header to a date when the private key was not available, and hence an argument by the adversary that 'the Date header says it was sent at timestamp TS1, and at TS1, the key wasn't public, so therefore the email can't be repudiated' is not sound.

If the recipient of the email cooperates (or anyone who gets access to the email before the private key is published), they could, for example, hash all their emails, and then hash the list of hashes on a regular basis, and put that hash in a busy public blockchain. That would provide an upper bound on the email send timestamp, and, combined with a well-defined private key publication timeframe, provide non-repudiation.
Interesting, I didn’t know that Baker was paid by the corporation. American 501c3 non-profit law is deeply flawed and, though orgs aren’t allowed to generate profit per se, they can pay their staff salaries as high as they want. If the board consists of the staff’s friends, eventually the staff view their positions as a sinecure and put in the minimum effort necessary to keep their jobs. So, I assumed that what happened with Firefox's director was the same corrupt non-profit thing.

I tend to apply this thinking to my software purchases as well, but in the spirit of conversation I’ll offer that I also make exceptions for software I find to be 1) fantastically good _and independent_, or 2) only make sense with an Internet connection and/or requires or includes some kind of vendor-specific remote service.

As someone with aphantasia, most of the replies here prompt me to think ugly thoughts about humanity. Judgemental, hateful, repugnant species. There's really no hope for the primate line. With any luck, some thoughtless company will engineer a replacement.

If only I could visualize that outcome.
that may well be. my friend was in asia doing classic outsourcing for european and american companies, which means he was competing against other companies in that space. i don't know the details. maybe he was offering more but not enough, maybe he didn't get good enough contracts, or maybe outsourcing with juniors simply doesn't work.

it's also an issue of perception. my company once tried to attract juniors with a high salary (at least 50% higher than local average) but that meant that we couldn't give them a raise early enough. after a year they got a better offer and left.
I think the biggest mistake they made was not succeeding in convincing edge to use Firefox's backend. It was such an obvious move but Microsoft instead have opted for the embrace technique.
For as far as I know, Chrome on Android has no support for plugins at all, whereas Safari on iOS does support plugins, including adblockers. I don’t see why Chromium would support plugins on iOS, since they obviously benefit from the fact that you can’t block ads.
I think that might be an effect, but I’m not sure. If something like this were to happen again, the thing I would most want would be whatever rules would most speedily lead to any prosecutions against subpostmasters being sopped and any convictions being overturned (with just compensation for the wrongful convictions).

I think to achieve that it has to be better in expectancy for someone who knows about the problem (and widely believed by that person too) to act sooner to resolve the problem than to try to cover things up, but I don’t really know what rules would help. For example, maybe an alternative thing that would work would be some kind of whistleblower rules like in finance[1].

In the hypothetical where I am stood with my hand on the lever choosing between stopping the scandal sooner and letting executives off entirely or having more wrongful convictions for longer but later throwing the executives in jail, I will choose the former every time, even though it feels unjust.

[1] In finance the whistleblower rules are designed to incentivise people to not be accomplices to crimes done by their superiors/coworkers. The incentives must be high because, no matter what the rules say about it, whistleblowers will expect to not work in finance again after blowing the whistle. The rules work because those large-scale financial crimes generally are hard to without one’s competent colleagues finding out.
Click saver: this is about access keys, not bucket keys. (Which would have been in the original title...)
In practice they overlap a lot. I don't particularly understand why people say this. I've worked doing systems programming a lot (i.e: many many syscalls) and Go does this just fine.

Unless you're working on some kind of hard real time system, I can't see why you would discard Go.
> You could sign your emails, but then the whole point of publishing the private keys is negated anyway...

Not really. The point is to deliver emails. Once it's delivered, it doesn't matter as much.

> When Lauren McCluskey, a University of Utah senior and track star, first alerted campus police to the fact that someone had accessed compromising photos of her and was attempting to extort her for $1000 in 2018... But she forwarded the photos and threatening messages she’d received to campus police anyway, and now, nearly two years after her death, the Salt Lake Tribune reports that the officer who received them saved them to his personal cell phone and later flaunted the photos to male coworkers.

Can't wait for the competent police officers at my local station to call me in order to have full access to my phone based on some photos I sent to my mom regarding her niece (my daughter).

This will have a Streissand effect like no other.

Fair point about the gums. But my Huel Unflavoured and Unsweetened powder does not have any artificial sweetener in it. It’s not very palatable on its own, but half a banana and a little peanut butter and it’s great.

I don’t pretend huel is perfect, but it’s definitely a meal. I feel good after eating it. Also, I alway have time at work to eat it, even if it’s only 7 minutes (which is quite often), and time to make it in the morning.

For me, huel is definitely better than the meals it replaced, and the other things that I could make/consume with the time and budget available.
That's interesting because for me (Canadian), a few is definitely less than several. I'd expect several to be something like 5-9.

This is a fair point. I would also call to attention the ability of the big players to avoid paying a large portion of their taxes. The double irish etc. This giving them a unfair advantage vs small competition that can’t afford the overhead of complex tax structures.
