ICANN's official position is "politics has no place in ICANN".

A country TLD belongs to that country, period. As long as that country exists (or has historically existed during the timeframe of TLD ownership, in the cases of legacy TLDs such as .s(oviet)u(nion)), they have exclusive use and control of it.

Yes, that even means if the Internet existed in the 1930s, some-anti-jew-website.gov.de could legally and rightfully exist as a registered domain under the German TLD, and not be in violation of ICANN rules, no matter how disgusting, wrong, and harmful that website is.

It is up to the registry owner of that TLD to enforce laws relevant to their locality and the Internet. To continue with the example, today's .de, obviously, would not allow such a domain to be registered, especially not from their own government, and also not be in violation of ICANN rules to enforce that.
Haha, this looks AWESOME. I just played a bit of "Escape Unspeakable" (one of the featured games) and if it's any indication, dotbigbang is going to do very well. Great job! Good luck!
Considering the unit prices of NVidia chips, and the growing cuda software lock-in, it seems “obvious” to work on something to hedge against price increases. That might be the performance or cost edge they need.

If they just make android phones better, they risk Google benefitting off their efforts and replacing the models. Besides that’s a lot more work to partner and manage across the industry.

It seems risky to bet they can release consumer hardware (instead of server side) but that’s the ultimate big bet. Ask Meta how it feels to be “just an app”.
I agree with the photography idea. I used to walk around Bombay with a camera just to shoot, which I might have missed on a general commute. With the improvement in phone cameras, I let go of everything since the iPhone 6. Of late, I have meaning to get back with an actual camera and start with street and landscape photography.

I’m jealous of three of my friends:

- A street photographer with a primary focus on London

- A worldwide landscape photographer from Nepal

- And travel photographer from Bangalore

They are all non-professionals, but their work is well-praised, and I won’t be surprised if you have seen them, too.

The idea of framing your view in pictures gives you the right amount of encouragement to walk a lot more. Recently, I walked about 15 km on a weekend, taking photos of the eerily empty weekends in San Francisco. https://www.instagram.com/p/CtpbIlJujAH/

Of course, my phone never makes a noise - no notifications.
> The information that has been exposed from this incident includes full names, usernames, profile photos, sex, date of birth, genetic ancestry results, and geographical location.

i would absolutely argue that having my

1) genetic ancestry,

2) full name,

3) date of birth,

etc… is sensitive information.

even removing genetic information, if a company is too irresponsible to catch millions of users info being stolen, then they’re too irresponsible to have that data.

again, either it’s important to your business or it isn’t. if it isn’t important, then refuse to store it.

It certainly pushed people towards MacOS and Linux. Office usage has also been decimated by Google docs and similar. Early education is largely on Chromebooks.

Mass exodus to Linux won't happen, but W11 may become the next XP that people won't upgrade from for decades. And then the price of hardware+subscription will be compared to buying an otherwise overpriced Mac...
They’ve done this before, famously with encryption software.

This project, for someone like me who hasn't touched typescript in a year or two looks like great example/refresher to just read through. It's very nicely written and works just as advertised. The inputs/ configs/ FetchStories are elegant.

As a cli tool to support testing of endpoints: very nicely contained and concise.

As a library for use in test code: I'm yet to try and use it this way but looks fun to use!
What was new to me was the sliding part. That it is possible to train the AI with some settings, and then, when it has learned an aspect, change the settings and keep training it with the new parameters but based on the previously learned knowledge. Did not know that this is possible.
My specific critiques revolve around the state of tooling and the developer experience.

I'm on the mid-tier plan available to me. 500 Mbps down, 20 Mbps up. It would take me, bare minimum, about 6.67 minutes to upload 1 gigabyte. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about AI/ML, so I could be wrong, but assuming a fine-tuned model is the same size as the base model, it would take me 90 minutes to upload the llama2 7B model (13.5 GB).

If it were standard practice for many people, we might finally get symmetric cable. But most people aren't YouTubers. In my experience, people who aren't into tech usually have no idea their upload speeds are any slower than their download speeds, much less 25 times slower. They usually just let their phone upload their photos in the background, and it just works. Hell, I can't even find my upload speed on the consumer section of my ISP's site, only in a pdf for their business plans. Not even in legalese.
What do you know, they might not even be backdoored.
I read both posts. I'm not buying the conspiracy theory that monogamy is a psychological operation to lure men into a sense of duty and to accept responsibilities. However, if it is true, then the writer builds a strong case against polygamy or polyamory. The writer indicates that rulers of ancient civilizations struggled with apathetic hedonistic polygamous or polyamarous men.

I can some what sympathize with part of what it sounds like here getting crushed by people committing credit card fraud. I had a small little company online in the early day's of the interweb's online payments. We had a very niche retail site, and for a few months we were increasing sales month-to-month. We'd get sales, the merchant company would approve them, and we'd ship out the product. Right up until the point where we got hit with enough fraudulent sales in what had to have been a coordinated effort that it killed us. The card numbers used were stolen, and we got hit with a massive amount of charge backs. Except, now we're out the inventory and no money to restock. It was the end of the retail side of us. To this day, I still have some sort of PTSD from that experience. I have a new site being worked on integrating with a popular modern card processing company. I am terrified to let the site go live and get hit with fraudulent charges again. I am on the fence of not even allowing for sales through the website.
While it's probably not a horrible idea to do something like this I don't think any or at least many does this currently? It wasn't a 23andme database that the attacker used, it was just some other random site/sites. So every time any website is hacked should every other website invalidate the credentials of those users on their site too?
If Meta was still allowed to buy things, you'd be billionaires. This is pretty much as good as their horizon platform but can actually run on my phone. Good job

Thanks. I think your first point is related to some magic safari is doing, but it's true solving OCR is becoming easier and easier (and eating away any claim to a moat I may have).

I think Microsoft, Github and many other companies also provide many free/subsidized services to those who can prove they're students, that includes even web hosting on AWS or digital ocean IIRC. Even leaving those aside, there are also plenty of open source options (such as LibreOffice) for those "services" and software that kids find useful.
This is also one of my favorite things about open source software. I can view the source to understand what's causing a bug, to fill in knowledge gaps left by the documentation, or just learn more about programming concepts. Nothing is hidden.

On the contrary, you don't need the source, and in some cases it may even be misleading in many ways, when you can look directly at the instructions the machine executes. Tools like disassemblers and decompilers would be equivalent to what you speak of.

Some kind of built-in records/database stuff in the filesystem seemed to be common for mini-computers (and mainframes).

Like you mentioned, DEC had RMS(record management systems). IBM System/38 & AS/400 had a built in DB2, and I believe System/36 had something similar.

HP 3000's MPE had records in the filesystem I think (it also came with the TurboImage database, though I think that was on top of the MPE filesystem)

Tandem Guardian had Enscribe.
The dog whistle idea has a decent amount of merit with me, but one signal is not enough to call dog whistle on, it's the combination of many.

When I visualize something, most often I cannot literally see it, but it's as if my brain is processing the information like Im looking at it. It also applies to feel and touch. If I try to see a dice I can "see" it, zoom in, and even feel the indent for each black dot. But I don't literally see a dice.

When it comes to doing math, it is a similar story. When working with matrices I can see the array and transformations in my mind, and when working with 3d trig and calc I can visualize each vector and how they interact with the world.

I can visualize two colored planes perpendicular to each other, but I can't render it.

I think when I take cannabis edibles, it improves these abilities slightly but noticably. I don't usually take big doses of THC, but a lower dose of THC with a higher dose of CBD.
Polyamory seems to be a tremendous amount of work that also requires a high degree of emotional maturity. You are balancing multiple intimate, emotional relationships with other people. I doubt that most people with the fantasy are interested in maintaining the reality for a very long time.

If you'd like a more in-depth treatment of the topic, let me suggest chapter 10 of the git book:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Plumbing-and-Po...

> But what gets sent to the other git repo? It is everything that is in objects and under refs.

Not everything under refs. Just the refs that you push. What gets pushed depends on how you configure git, what arguments you provide to `git push` and how the refspecs are configured for the remote under `.git/config`:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-The-Refspec

e.g., I regularly use `git push origin +HEAD:develop` to force push the checked out branch to a destination branch named `develop`.

A couple additional points not mentioned:

There are also tag objects. You create these with `git tag -a`. These are also called annotated tags. They carry their own message and point to a commit. Without `-a` you create a so-called lightweight tag which is just an entry under `refs/tags` pointing directly to a commit (as opposed to pointing to a tag object).

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-tag

All those loose objects get packed up into pack files periodically to save space and improve git's speed. You can manually run `git gc` but git will do so for you automatically every so many commits. You'll find the pack files under `.git/objects/pack`:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Packfiles
Getting these kinds of applications out of Silverlight or desktop apps was one of the greatest steps forward I've seen in at least a couple large enterprise shops - and Blazor definitely feels like a step back in that regard.

Honestly, it's one of the issues I see with WASM as a whole. The JavaScript ecosystem is almost implicitly supportive of open source, since that's essentially what gets delivered to the browser. WASM feels like it take us back towards walled gardens where you have to buy Telerik or Dundas libraries to get the widget you want to use, and then find out they don't play nicely with some other part of your stack. For all but the must graphically intensive use cases, or companies that can afford to own their stack from the ground up, I see little reason to adopt it.
Good idea. What if it varies in quality based on different languages? I read a lot of texts with English, French, German, Greek, and Hebrew. The quality of the OCR goes in roughly that order. If there's enough Hebrew, it gets detected reasonably (but vowel points are less reliable). If there's not enough Hebrew, it might not get detected at all.

I'm using Google's OCR api on the backend after using my secret sauce to "fix" the scan. I've found it to work better than tesseract, and heard that it's better than azure or aws. Google claims to support a ton of languages. But obviously, quality varies... I can't just copy their claim because it doesn't reflect my experience of reality, so what do I say?

I wish I could get a strong sense of the hype around null safety. Sure, I would like to have the extra expressive option. However, optional has been fine for me. I still barely use it. It has to be at least 3-4 years since I last encountered a null pointer exception in my daily java programming. I feel like there are plenty of other things that pain me on a daily basis that rank far higher on my asks for the language. Collection and stream ergonomics cause constant pain, for example.

Who wants to live in a bubble for the rest of their life, with the constant threat of death at every turn? Completely isolated with no internet, no real source of food or water, no entertainment, no resources to build things with, no way to decide you want to do something else with your life, etc... I cannot imagine a worse fate. Earth is amazing.

Critics frequently express the notion the polyamory is precisely the opposite of emotional maturity i.e. willing or being able to commit to a single other person (which inherently does mean a certain sort of sacrifice, not having a cake and eating it too style).
How much UX superiority is due to the shorter lines? I definitely prefer self-checkout at Walmart, but if their cashiers were as efficient as e.g. ALDI it wouldn't be as valuable
> If anything, it's a relic of the Abrahamic faiths and their influence over Western cultures.

What? Monogamy was already mandatory in Western culture (meaning classical Greek and Roman culture) before there was any influence from Judaism. And Jewish scripture is explicitly polygamous.

Monogamy in Christianity is obviously the result of the influence of Western culture on Christianity and not the other way around. For Judaism that is not so obvious, since it, unlike Christianity, at least predates Classical Roman culture.

Meanwhile, in the third Abrahamic faith, Islam, monogamy is not even an element of the faith today.
I can't help but think this tech war will be a positive for most of us. Both China and the US seem to think they need a rival, and if they want to do it over chips I think it can only spur on innovation in open source hardware.
It’s insane to watch YouTube on some of the industrial “promotional” videos from China and India. Like if you look up videos of really any manufacturing, you see shit that simply would never fly in Europe or the US because we don’t tolerate having stuff in factories that will eventually maim or kill someone.

Like if people doesn’t care about killing their coworkers they work with and can see, they sure as shit don’t care about dangerous practices that impact someone they don’t know.
We’ve had good experience using Stripe with extremely aggressive Stripe Radar settings, and using a manual review queue to avoid false positives. We also don’t enable payment methods that automatically accept disputes (e.g. SEPA Direct Debit).
The hard problem with micropayments is that if your site sells access or content to individual users for micropayments, and you have users in multiple countries or multiple states/provinces within a country, you might have to deal with VAT or sales tax on those payments in multiple jurisdictions.

For direct micropayments to work for sites that have users in multiple jurisdictions and do not wish to find themselves on the wrong side of the law in those jurisdictions one of these approaches is probably needed:

1. Some sort of international agreement to either make it so online sales of digital content is just taxed in the seller's jurisdiction.

2. Some sort of international agreement that makes it so that even if the seller has to collect taxes for multiple jurisdictions, they can report and remit all of the collected taxes to one jurisdiction and that jurisdiction's tax office will deal with divvying it up to the others.

Europe does something like that for VAT. You register with one EU country (Ireland is a good choice for US companies). Then you just send them a quarterly report with a list of how much you sold in each country and pay them and they deal with it. You don't have to deal with tax authorities in any other EU countries.

Another approach, which does not require any new international agreements to be made, is for sites to sell through an intermediary. You structure this so that the end user actually buys from the intermediary, and the intermediary buys from your site.

If the intermediary is handling many different sites they might be big enough that they can afford the cost of dealing with sales/VAT taxes in potentially hundreds of different jurisdictions. Your site is only transacting with the intermediary and so only has to worry about at most two jurisdictions, the one you are in and the one the intermediary is in.
