I disagree both for German courts and US courts. This makes the assumption that the German courts care about Cloudflare’s previous actions in another country related to removing what’s perceived as offensive content. I don’t see why they would care about this.

Next, if you’re talking about US law, that doesn’t hold up either. The US doesn’t have to take into account previous activity regarding neutrality. I’m assuming the reasoning here lies in Section 230. Providers can still be held liable for the content that passes through their systems, especially if they don’t reasonably regulate what is done on their network. The $1bn verdict (that was upheld!) against Cox for piracy by their customers is something to consider.

21B isn't much in the grand scheme of things. But the 10 year treasury yield went to 5%. A historical high. It was noticed.
I work for a company that deals with SVOD/AVOD content.

It's silly how many ridiculous things the content providers try to negotiate in the contracts for their content. Some requirements they ask for are sensible (HW decryption for their high quality renditions), some are downright idiotic because they would shut out so many devices and normal users (e.g. HW decryption on audio tracks and forcing HDCP version 2.3).

We've really gone full circle and piracy is becoming the easier-to-use platform again.
Verisign continues to run a monopoly on .COM/.NET with basically no checks or balances to its power. ICANN has effectively surrendered to it. A significant amount of ICANN's budget is coming from Verisign. ICANN refuses to exercise any oversight, it's likely an example of regulatory capture at this point.

Verisign is going to push every possible way to extract more money from .COM/.NET monopoly. They maximize price increases at every opportunity on their contracts (which has automatic renewal and no competition). For what? No added value to customers or the ecosystem as a whole.

SiteFinder was just one of many moves in a long series of bad for everyone but Verisign moves. Remember when .ORG had its price caps removed and then private equity tried to buy it? Guess where a lot of that backing came from...

That’s not true. A nonprofit/coop could in theory run single peertube instance.
Once life gets intelligent enough we may be able to detect it by other means. For example, they would likely use electromagnetic waves to communicate, just like we do[1]. That's based on the physics on the constraints set by our physical universe, not on our biology.

If a civilization gets really advanced they might be able to do alterations to their own star that we would also be able to see. They might build megastructures around them, changing their brightness in unusual ways [2].

The two are unrelated. They would still be sued for piracy sites even if they didn't block Nazi sites.
I haven't actually read TAOCP (yet!) so take this with all the salt you have on hand, but most fields are divisible into primary and secondary works. The ones you should read depend on how interested you are in the field and whether you want practical knowledge or deep conceptual knowledge.

Take mathematics as an example. It has a rich history of primary sources written by famed mathematicians. Most people never even glance at these sources and gain a practical understanding of mathematics strictly through secondary sources like textbooks. This is perfectly fine for most people that only need to use math mechanically and don't care too much about a deep theoretical understanding. If you want the latter however, imo reading primary sources and understanding the history of a field is really important.

To me, TAOCP has always been more of a primary source. If you're just looking for surface level knowledge and advice that's immediately applicable, look elsewhere. If you're looking to understand some of the fundamental concepts in the field of computing and their history, it might be a good fit.

Genuinely asking:

Why many programmers need tools to enforce something upon them? Why not they can't take slow, be mindful about what they write and add a couple of layers as pre-commit hooks? Like a code formatter and maybe a linter?

This makes me sad. Programmers have the knowledge base to make some of the most sophisticated things bend to their will, and they tell a programming language is bad, because they can make mistakes with it. You can cut yourself while chopping onions, too, if you're not careful.

When I code C++, I generally select the structures/patterns I gonna use, use them, and refactor my code regularly to polish it. Nobody enforces this on me, but this is how I operate. I add a formatter to catch/fix the parts I botched on the formatting department, and regularly pass my code through valgrind to see whether it makes anything funny on the memory department.
What calculus do you propose everyone uses to work out where the funds should be allocated? Who decides? How do we account for technology that was created as part of the war effort i.e. computers, jet engines, the internet etc?

Come on, at 200k a piece, that auditor is going to want to see at least 2 competing offers for that widget, which page-long explanations why the specific one was chosen.

And if you're going to argue nobody else is offering exactly that, a technologically literate auditor (read: external consultant) might show up when you try that the second or third time in as many years.
Ah yep, that's what I was missing here before a cup of coffee. The plaintiff isn't a customer of Cloudflare so the ToC doesn't apply.

If only Cloudflare wouldn't treat end users the way the copyright industry treats Cloudflare. We have de-facto IP address liability for Tor and VPNs - Cloudflare likes to block them, even if you are logged into a website with an account with a good reputation.

I had similar concerns from the get-go. I honestly don't know how big their team is now but I always only see one or two people post online as representative to Kagi. Won't stop me from paying for Kagi but I definitely will not be paying for the browser. Arc is a much more interesting take on a browser than Orion, and A LOT less bugs.
It's because HN folks know that keeping a service running takes time and effort, and they can't believe that this is somehow a solved problem.

Most things learned don’t provide strict tools to enforce that you don’t use old practices where better modern practices exist. Do you question what the purpose is of learning most things?

Also, there are tools to look for old practices and suggest modern ones.
The story there is that he had written this in high school, combining the style of MAD magazine with the textbook “system of weights and measures”, as one of his submissions to the Westinghouse Science Talent Search (1956). A few months later when he was in college he sent it to MAD magazine with (basically) “you guys may like this”, and to his surprise they treated it as a submission and decided to publish it (with illustrations by Wallace Wood); it came out in June 1957. Later when writing his CV Knuth decided to start counting from this as his first publication.

If they've been here only 7 years and are now found in states from Ohio to Connecticut (mentioned specifically in the article), I'd say the taking over is going pretty well for them.

That doesn't mean they won't hit some natural limitation on their range at some point but it's not obvious to me they're there yet.
book 3, especially sorting and hashing is pretty much contemporary. The linear probe, alone, and deletion shift of 6.4 is more than worth it.
How likely is it that my company's promotional videos will be federated to the extent that it'll actually reduce my bandwidth cost by a non-trivial amount? Will hosting videos like this increase reliability or reduce it? I genuinely don't know - i've never used it - but it would be far from my first pick for this kind of stuff.

Suppose I have a fantastic idea for a company: I start importing BAIC Beijing BJ90s to Germany, then I glue a new star-in-a-circle badge onto them and sell them.

Mercedes-Benz decides that I shouldn't do this, and gets a court injunction to stop me. Volkswagen thinks my company is hilarious, and decides to continue importing cars on my behalf. They don't actually do the badge-gluing -- I have to do that in a third location -- but they are more than willing to perform the actual import.

Should the court prevent VW from participating in the scheme? If they should, why is that different from the Cloudflare case?
Most of the comments here focus on language. But I think this kind of misses an important point the blog post makes:

There is no modern C++ without the old C++. C++ is the success that it is exactly because it has been able to evolve with no shameful past to cancel.
No partial matches probably related to how they index emails to save on space, I found it annoying once or twice too but not a big deal. As for the rest - well, I don't really want it to 'fix' my typos(especially since I'm bilingual) and I actually like indexing of email attachments, I often looked for products I bought and found them through invoice attachments.

I like how fast it is though, I instantly get results from gigabytes of old emails, I can forgive lack of partial matches here.
Without war, societies implode; they get taken over. Keeping a society going means lots of ‘work’.

Did the Egyptians, Macedonians, Romans, Mughal, etc., stand long on the shoulders of peace?

It doesn’t happen.

Why did Siberians come over to the Americas? To explore and spread peace? Populations encroach and you stand and fight or seek out new land. We've run out of new land so equilibrium is achieved through other means, including war.

Are you implying that war is necessary?
Visual Studio will yell at you if your code isn't conforming to the "C++ Core Guidelines" (those guidelines basically define what "Modern C++" even means).

Unfortunately it also yells at you when your *C* code violates the C++ Core Guidelines (at least it was a few years ago when I permamently switched that "feature" off).

beside that... using a hosted service doesn't quiet qualify as selfhosted either.

And thats also ignoring the elephant in the room called pricing. egress is pretty expensive on AWS, you'd at least want to use their video streaming service instead of s3 for a consumer website.

Why would I want to? Most of that is boring stuff that's hard to get consistently right and highly amenable to automation. Automation is what the computer is good at, it can have that job.

Like, why would I want to spend more mental bandwidth on tracking down whether every new goes with every delete than strictly necessary? Yeah, once in a while something is highly performance sensitive and it pays to design it just right for the use case. But it still tends to be surrounded with hundreds of other things that will do just fine with a smart pointer.
If you mean anything to your friends they will use one of the multiple other ways to notify you.
A library that is exclusively using a social media platform for announcements is doing it wrong and complaining or even suing might help.
FYI: The Pirate Bay is fully legal in Sweden, where it is hosted. Although it's frequently had to change internet providers and physical locations at the discretion of those providers, and its creators went to jail for 1 year due to a corrupt justice system (e.g. judges having links to copyright companies), it was never proven that any crime was actually committed by them.

Germany takes the exact opposite extremist view.

"C++ Core Guidelines" - https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines
Wait: it seems that you are not conveying what the inverted pyramid practically entails.

For a reader it means: start at the front, proceed linearly, and stop reading at any point because you what follows will be, by construction, “less important”.

For an editor, therefore, cut wherever you want to meet a space limit.

This premise of ordering by solely by “importance” as defined by the author is fundamentally flawed. It stands in conflict with detailed, logically organized, skimmable writing. (I think this could be proved mathematically by assuming some fairly obvious points about human nature, but that is for another time. The sketch would be: how to optimize the linearization of a topic graph using varying reader {preferences and knowledge graphs} as the metric.)

Again, I’m not disagreeing with topic sentences. That idea is independent.
We can do more then one thing at a time.

Alpha Centauri is the closest, easiest star to study by far.

The technology to find Earth-like planets is pretty much an entirely separate field of astronomy to the technology required to characterize those planets (i.e. JWST doing atmospheric-transient spectroscopy).

Whatever technique you apply to some "better" candidate would be the same as a technique which works well on Alpha Centauri, so that's the place you use it (absent something more convenient - like a space probe hanging out looking back at Earth with the same methods).

"Do you have a company and do you want to self host your promotional videos? Make a PeerTube instance and embed them in your website."

If I'm a small company, I'd use something like BunnyCDN to stream my videos, because no one else will watch them so the benefits of Peertube are not there.

If I'm a company and I'm large I should have no problems paying for something and again would use something like BunnyCDN.

You are probably mistaking ticks with viruses. Ticks are not viruses. Ticks have to travel from places to places and then spend a long time in one place to multiply and establish a colony. Ticks themselves do not fly, they need to be carried by the host animal. It takes time for them to travel long distances especially when the host is a farm animal that can't roam freely long distances. And even once they travel somewhere, it would probably take couple of seasons to spread locally and establish large numbers.

So I see no logical contradiction by saying "these ticks have been around since 2017" and "entire country is about to be infested".

The old math question asks, "Duckweed is spreading on a lake. It takes 1 year to double the area of duckweed. From start to end, it took 15 years to cover entire lake. Which year the duckweed covers half of the lake?"

Exponential growth has this feature that for a long time it seems fine and then suddenly it is over as it overload's the physical capacity to handle it.

And I would say 7 years to get to the current state is extremely fast rate and definitely cause for alarm in my opinion.
They will work but you are at risk of the provider cutting you off for "abusing roaming" and I'm not sure if they can also sue you to recover their roaming costs. The EU cellphone network isn't integrated between different countries - roaming works the same as roaming from the EU to the USA, besides also having some consumer fairness laws.

When you look at the electorate of the PVV in general, it consists of people who experience more difficulties to get by. They are more lonely...

Sounds rather condescending. I don't like it when armchair experts place such subjective labels on people. "Lonely, less intelligent," etc. It's second guessing a persons vote which is a tacit way of undermining that vote.

Rather they should analyze policy and try to understand why those policies did not have a positive impact on the lives of voters who opposed them, not assume it is because they have some negative attribute.
No, the two-space rule was used in books a ~century ago. That's what I'm comparing with.

The habit was adopted for monospace typewriters precisely to try to match book typesetting.

Then the books dropped it, but it persisted in typing habits.

Then once Mac/Windows allowed anyone to use proportional fonts, we were taught to use a single space again.

"Wrong" is too strong. The fundamental bases it used are not generally used today, but it was the first of its kind and inspired much. Many of its details are still fine.

If you are interested in the underlying goal of Principia Mathematica, I urge you to check out the Metamath Proof Explorer (MPE):
https://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mmset.html

By itself, Metamath doesn't have built-in axioms. MPE uses Metamath to first state a small set of widely-accepted axioms, namely classical logic and ZFC set theory, and then proves a tremendous amount of things, building up to a lot of mathematics from careful formal proofs that rigorously prove every step.

Some things cannot be proven, but that doesn't mean that proof is dead.

That is just for homework, you won't get 50% longer schooldays. 50% more work means you have to spend many hours extra every day to learn as much as the faster kids do just by going to class. And that time is lower quality, you make much better connections when you don't strain yourself by spending all day studying.

I think this speaks to the frustration that OP has which I also do, which is that the commentary has barely moved even a millimeter past first impressions.

It's not in the form of any kind of principled objection to the project of building out the fediverse, any technical issue with the choice of technologies, or any affirmative argument in favor of the status quo where all this activity being captured by increasingly enshittified platforms. The motivations and the objectives are play are wrestling with important questions, and the peanut gallery thinks that talking about the first impression of the name counts as participating in that conversation, which is depressing.
