I would mention blinding in passing in the use case section, not just in security. I wrote the tool off with my concern about revealing short files, but comment here

Shorter proofs can be done with Verkle trees, https://web.archive.org/web/20231115115627/https://vitalik.c...

but I think it's incompatible with other aspect of this use case. My first impulse is using a prefix nonce, but the file system secrecy just conflicts with it too much

I think of the rolling-hash-split block store, tarsnap-style, as a different variant, tough indirection through tar (concatenation), compression, or rolling hash would cancel out benefits of the simple correspondence to structure matching file system layout.

That's what happens when you spend too many decades making crummy products.
Of course they could - but all of the value in AI is in being able to use that copyrighted material to fake talent you don't want to pay for (or spend time creating.) Companies are firing artists and writers en masse rather than pay them to train AIs for a reason.
Generally I would expect a higher degree of security from an agency with a $2bn budget whose primary purpose is the integrity of communications about financial markets than an average person with a credit card.

Certainly you will admit at some size, responsibility and level of funding the organization should take responsibility for protecting itself from hacks. If the Department of Defense got hacked and nuclear secrets were leaked, I certainly hope people would get fired rather than sympathized with.

One of the most interesting parts of OpenDev is that the infrastructure that builds and deploys all the OpenDev services is open.

Anyone can propose changes to practically all of the infrastructure via the https://opendev.org/opendev/system-config project.

Anyone can look through all of the changes; https://review.opendev.org/q/project:opendev/system-config+s...

Every change gets run through an extremely thorough CI system that tests the change and reports results, e.g. https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/buildset/50ce144851224b...

Most of these CI jobs do things like apply your proposed change, deploy the service, then connect up a headless client and take screenshots of the results so you can confirm the correct behaviour of your change; e.g. http://storage.bhs.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_dcaab5e32b234d56b62... is from a job that was modifying the gita deployment.

Humans approve changes for merge with Zuul, but Zuul commits the code. When Zuul merges the change, another set of jobs will push things to the production hosts automatically. There is a talk on the overall process at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apLHQ4DkIHU

There are obviously bastion hosts and private components to the production deployment, but as much as practical is completely open. There have been contributors with no special access that have developed the deployment of infrastructure services and admins helped only at the end committing some secrets and providing production hardware resources. More commonly, people who have CI issues can jump in and fix their own problems, especially relating to things specific to them (e.g. mirror setup on CI nodes, software versions used, etc.)

One cool thing is that the Zuul jobs publish their production deployment logs in public, but encrypted (these might contain secrets, so are not made open by default). If you work on a particular system, you can request to commit your public key to the service you like and access all the deployment logs. For example, say you are interested in maintaining codesearch.opendev.org. The "infra-prod-codesearch" job deploys changes relating to this service. You can look at all the jobs at https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/builds?job_name=infra-p..., and every job has an artifact that lets you download the logs; e.g. https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/c76ec695d19a4e9e9.... Details are at https://docs.opendev.org/opendev/system-config/latest/open-i...

TBH every linux disto will sometimes leave the happy path. The difference between nixos and basically all other distros is that all other distros at least do most thing somewhat in the same way. So even an install for example for Ubuntu can relatively easily be translated to Arch. But that's unfortunately not the case with nixos. It's just too different. So once you are off the happy path you sometimes need real skill in nix to even do some, at first glance, simple things.
The site worked for some time with no sort of quality threshold. Some sites manage to do ok based largely on the goodwill of its user base, including HN here, as well as Wikipedia.

In both cases it had someone with a banhammer who stomps on the worst offenders fast. And Quora is definitely lacking that right now. A smallish number of trolls create accounts in bulk and seem to spend considerable free time thinking up new variations of the same obscenities. Quora doesn't even pretend to be proactive about stopping that. At best the automated moderation will take action eventually, but often not.

That's not even taking into account that Quora has welcomed white supremacists. As long as they keep to their own sub groups Quora doesn't care how violent the racist rhetoric is. But of course such things leak out.
You might be right about the main parachute.

In WW 2, only US paratroopers had reserve chutes. This was likely a British paratrooper. So no reserve chute.

And yes. Climbing out of a tree while shaking from adrenaline is scary dangerous. But it is the sort of risk that takes experience to appreciate. In WW 2, nobody had experience.
I was responding to the OP statement (and source with 2021 as the last data point) that "Viewership growth seems good".

Lockdowns were in 2020, not 2021.

Yes, April 2020 gave a huge bump to Twitch and the pandemic obviously had a large impact on the following years. Twitch had really good growth.

But look at the sources I linked. Looks to me like viewership has been down every year since 2021.
I'd wager that most Chinese citizens are aware that the government monitors most domestic communications and sends thousands of warrants to Apple every year. It's really not that different in America, given how people joke about the FBI agent in their cellphone with disquieting regularity. If you're a target of either government, your brand allegiance doesn't matter when the white van shows up outside.

China could be lying, but it seems like they already have a high degree of control over domestic electronics. Demonstrations like this are probably more valuable as a threat to political whistleblowers than as an exploit to learn what they likely already know.

In this case you can assume Acme Music is making purposeful performances/impersonations of the original songs/artists, because the goal of the scenario is to show that "but I used a human brain to do it" isn't a magical get-out-of-infringement-free card.

Illustrating the boundaries of fair-use or transformative works is... Well, a somewhat-separate issue that would need a different kind of scenario.
I don’t see the international hackernews conspiracy. 99.9% of the world has not heard of hacker news. The pharma industry doesn’t own the US, any more than big fast food, lawyers in general, US automobile dealerships, the petroleum industrial complex, etc.

I’d say they all want to continue to make big profits and push for things that help them.

You've completely abandoned any attempt to argue the point about the security of web apps vs non-web apps, which was the original point of this discussion, so now let me address all the tangents you like going on to deflect. You're an expert at cherry picking which arguments you'd like to reply to, to avoid tackling the main issue at hand.

> It is true that I don't like the lack of diversity (that would come from everything being webtech on top of Chromium), and it is also true that I like the security that comes from a managed app store.

You've said previously: "My point is that webapps move everything into the browser, going towards a world where something like ChromeOS is the only valid way to use a computer. I want to choose my OS". [1]

So you think the best way to increase OS diversity is to get developers to submit their apps to proprietary app stores that only run on their own respective operating systems, instead of using open web standards that work on every operating system? How does that make sense?

> I do! I can have it both ways! Isn't that marvelous?

No! You can't! Not if you value logical consistency.

> If you can't understand how this is possible, I think we can stop here. We won't get anywhere if you can't understand what I write.

I don't think you comprehend what you're writing, or rather, you're not willing to admit that what you're writing is incomprehensible. Saying "my argument makes sense, you just can't understand it" is just you being petulant. You want to "stop here" because you've argued yourself into an illogical corner.

It has been known.

The thing with trials is chicken and egg. Big pharma ensures certain drugs are illegal and scientists cannot or have limited ways to study them. Some corrupt government departments even only permit studies if they are going to find out that those drugs are bad.

It's quite a dissonance that people pretend they don't see. Like with cannabis. Millions of chronic pain sufferers say it helps them and then you can look at studies, you can cherry-pick plenty that say it's a placebo.

Let's face it. Scientists, politicians are all corrupt and honest ones can easily get cast out or made fall out of the window.
I get hundreds to thousands of CVs for an opening. I spend 5-10s on each one. That's why.

Perhaps. There were an odd couple of "likes" made by the SEC X account during the same time period though (they've since been "unliked"), and Chair Genlser + a follow up post by @SECGov both specifically say that the account was compromised.
There were 5 threads about this. One is a first party update from the SEC about the issue. One has no engagement. The other 3 were marked as dupes, and their comments were moved to the first party update. Nothing was "nerfed".

Most "normal" streams get their maximum viewer count around 2 hours into the stream. While streamers tend to have something like a waiting room for the first 10-30min of their stream.

A typical streamer which can life from it but isn't getting rich (or even wealthy!) tends to stream 6+h streams at at least 3 days a week more likely 4-5. Which additional time costs for stuff like filling taxes preparing streams, updating software etc. it's not too rare for streamers to have a 50+ hour week, without getting rich or even wealthy from it. While some pop of and get wealthy or rich it's not the norm. Most do so because they love what they are doing and/or would have problems with other jobs.

I have seen multiple cases of small streamers using Twitch as a form a therapy to help them to overcome social awkwardness or some kinds of anxiety. Also some cases of depressive or otherwise sick people using it to have something like a job even through they are to sick to get any normal job even if they didn't need it for money (to avoid brain rot of being stuck at home and maybe some additional semi-social contacts).

Naturally there are exceptions e.g. of streamers "capturing some whales" and making quite good money with a fraction of the effort of the normal case, but in the end this are exceptions.
Roy Kerr – Do blackholes have singularities? (November 2023)
I don't think these two categories are differentiated by if their content is free (despite they do have a deference in this regard), it's more about how the customers pay for it.

Hack, I'd say livestreaming (Twitch, the livestream part of YouTube/TikTok etc.) is a very different business altogether compared to normal "video streaming" (serving VODs).

Also when talking about livestreaming business, one can't ignore China. They have some massive platforms (in both cashflow and audience size) despite being unknown outside China. Like Bilibili, Douyu, Huya, etc.
Satiating food with a low glycemic load is available in any supermarket [0]. People need to cook plain meat, fish, pulses, and vegetables instead of microwaveable cheese stuffed things if they want to feel full without excess calorie intake [1]. Keeping ready-to-eat foods out of the home also introduces some useful friction; a person has to decide if they're hungry enough to cook instead of eating due to boredom and having the Hot Pockets right there.

The problem as I see it is that more people want to lose weight than want to change habits in a way that will lead to lasting weight loss, so "dieting" is usually a temporary intervention and has a low success rate in the long term. It's like someone who wants to smell freshly showered every day without bathing regularly. They can't actually get the good outcome without the good habitual behavior.

[0] It's admittedly not available in food deserts, but obesity has exploded among middle-income Americans too, not just among those too poor to shop at supermarkets.

They might make solid products in terms of stability but from a datacenter automation perspective I'd hardly consider juniper an innovator. Late to the game on automated installation, _decent_ automated switch configuration, whitebox switching, virtualizing switching and routing environments (for testing configs via CI).

Honestly, in the datacenter, companies like Cumulus wipe the floor with them. I'm not losing any sleep.

There's two problems with that approach, which matters from 2 very different perspectives. From the business point of view, one-on-ones with a highly knowledgeable professor don't scale. The big benefit that the businessman sees from online learning is to dramatically increase the number of graduates who pass through some level of filtering, so scale matters a lot.

The other, "education is important because educating people is important" point of view, runs into a more human problem: most students don't get one-on-one time with their professors, even when the professor ends up sitting in an empty office hour regularly, because doing so takes work. Students need to be reasonably proactive about reaching out, and that weeds out a lot of people regardless of how accessible the professor makes themselves. Online learning makes this even worse: In person, assuming the class is small enough (that's another can of worms), there's a fair amount of opportunity for small interactions: greetings, questions during lecture (for when the professor has completely lost you, which suggests he may have lost others, too), questions after lecture, hell, even body language exchange, where the professor can pick up on students being bored (i.e., they're going too slow, or they've lost the class). All of these make the professors far more approachable, where a brief exchange can become a "hey, let's continue this during office hours". I spent a lot more time in office hours with the professor who memorized all our names and faces before the first lecture than the one who was lecturing at a class of 300.

Not to mention the heightened ease of interacting with your fellow students, which is, IMO, 60-80% of the benefit of higher education.

And at smaller universities, the bureaucracies are a lot more malleable, too. Classes being "waivable by a conversation with the instructor" was very much a thing, albeit with the extra step of having the dean and registrar's office rubber stamp it.

I watch starcraft on twitch but can never watch it live. It'll get to a crucial moment and then a 3 minute commercial interrupts. Literally the game is over at that point. No point to watch.

They'd have done better with some sort of integrated commercials or banner bar or something else.

Or even just buffering those 3 minutes. So I do watch on twitch but I wait till the match is over.

What also sucks about twitch is you can't rewind. So many problems there
