Ask HN: What is the most resilient way to publish content online?
In your opinion, what is the most effective and resilient way to publish content online that can survive attacks from state and other bad actors?

Decentralized technology like IPFS might be the way to go, but I'm curious about other options as well. What is the best approach to keeping content available even if someone is determined to remove it?
You're right that the names are similar, but we aren't litigious like that. This is a different thing, even though it has a similar name. This isn't the first time I'm hearing about this OS :)

Heck, there's even Oxidize, a Rust conference for embedded/industrial Rust users.

Nobody would reasonably confuse these products.

The NAND is most definitely encrypted (and if it isn't, I'm not sure anyone has reverse-engineered the raw on-chip data format to be able to mount it on a PC), the standard procedure for iPhone data recovery is to fix the device (using donor parts) just enough to a stage where it'll boot, accept a passcode and talk to a computer over USB (so a full backup can be taken).

There's really nothing you can do unless you have thousands of $ worth of equipment + microsoldering experience and steady hands. If the data is valuable, send it to a reputable unofficial repair shop.
There are also states in the US where this nonsense is not a thing.
> The question that would be asked, is "do you want the government subsidising and disorting the internet market"

The other question that would be asked is, perhaps less explictly, is "do you want to drive [employer of X,000 jobs in the region] out of the state?". It doesn't matter if those jobs would be replaced by superior jobs at a publicly-operated telco, or if some of those jobs are complete bloat (and therefore paid for by inflated utility bills among all subscribers). Nobody wants to engage in that argument; it's a losing battle.

Yes, there's an easy answer to that, but when faced with the option of a short-term sacrifice in exchange for a long-term collective gain, people invariably opt not to take it.
I'm pretty sure people are going to be haunted by it for years. I just updated some internal scripts for Python 3 this year.

I believe they should have been Py3 when they wrote them. It was not my decision, but it did become my problem.
It was! But it's left a lot of nations with huge debt for projects that often haven't really helped their economies.

Even when things are working mind of ok, rather than build alliances and friends (build soft power), China too often acts entitled after coming in to a place & blows the political gains they should have been making. Even when coming with a carrot to the world, China's demands-of-ego get in their own way.

China does have an incredibly fast growing navy. Their military is cranking out enormous amounts of everything, at a dizzying unimaginable pace. And perhaps the Belt & Road will help that nation project power some, will serve as ports and bases. But I'm not sure. I'm not sure why they are so aggressively building their military.
I had my library get that book, and it helped with all sorts of projects. What an awesome book :D
There’s a Canadian guy who discovered back in the 1980’s gentle electrolysis can create artificial coral.

He was getting funding to try to raise an atol off Madagascar as recently as ten (ed: twenty) years ago, shortly before he passed.

Someone more recently thought they found that electrical potential attracts coral polyps, so perhaps the “electrolysis” was less chemical and more biological.

When I hear about steel to creat coral I think of galvanic action.
Yes, you can run a small ISP part time, even remotely.

The process of signing up enough members of the community is a bit more work, but can still be done part time.

An optical fiber ISP will cost between $200 and $1000 per house to build, $10 per month fees are possible.

What does this mean?
I don't think that's really an accurate description. There's a discrepancy between observations relating to gravitation and general relativity's predictions. The discrepancy could be accounted for by significant extra mass, but no non-gravitational observations seem to confirm the presence of that extra mass. So "dark matter" is the supposition that there's a significant amount of extra mass that interacts only with gravity but not, for example, light, making it categorically different from ordinary matter. And I don't think there's any evidence that this dark matter follows the same gravitational constant as ordinary matter.
> I'm trusting you to put on million-dollar trades, then I damn well want to know its you at the computer and not some Russian hacker who has has inevitably exfiltrated your credentials which were stored in software with Passkeys.

In such a high-value environment, you could buy the YubiKey, provision an account for me registered to it, then give it to me. That would give you the assurance you want without needing remote attestation. Also, if Russian hackers had enough access to my computer to steal my software passkeys, couldn't they just wait for me to start a valid session with my YubiKey and then use that session to do whatever they wanted?

> - I can force you to enter a password to "arm" it for use every time, no caching

> - If you loose your Yubikey, I can kill access

Those are downsides, not upsides, because of the mixing of "I" and "you". I should be able to decide my own risk tolerance levels for access to my own accounts. You shouldn't get to decide them for me.

> Time and time again software has shown us that you cannot trust it with secrets. That's why HSMs exist, that's why Yubikeys exist.

Sure, that's a good argument for hardware secret storage. But not for attestation. It's a good thing that I have the ability to use HSMs and YubiKeys for access to my accounts, but if I don't want to, other people shouldn't be able to force me to.

An instance of one outage not causing a food riot is pretty clear evidence against the proposition that digital payment systems are one outage away from food riots.
The moon does not affect bodies of water. The moon's gravity pulls every mass equally. The water being closest to the moon is pulled more strongly than the earth whose center is 6300 KM away from that water - so the water creeps closer to the moon than does the center of the earth.

Same thing on the other side - the water is 6300 KM further away from the moon than is the (center of) the earth. So it is pulled less strongly, and thus to an observer on the earth it looks like that water is being pulled away.
Belt and road does not make military bases much less site armed forces personnel or nuclear ordinance around the world.

A realistic expectation of most small entrepreneurs is to generate something around $1M/year and the overall tax rate for them will be around 50% or more.

Claude 3 Opus by a wide margin. I'm a regular GPT-4 user who had tried Claude 2, and went into Claude 3 with muted expectations. I was shocked with how much more capable Claude 3 Opus was compared to GPT-4, it's not even close for my work (optimization, programming/algorithms). I asked 20 questions and Claude 3 solved all of them where GPT-4 failed on all of them. What's more surprising to me is that I don't remember GPT-4 being this bad, I was similarly impressed when GPT-4 was released. The disparity was significant enough for me to reconsider my subscription to OpenAI, but the Browsing capability as well as the Android app kept me. I use Opus for my work now though, by default, and fall back on GPT.

The concept described in [1] is in no meaningful way different from a traditional fiber build and does not offer any cost advantage.

You are also totally overselling the capabilities of your Fiberhood router.

Breaking and continually flouting international law and the de facto naval boundaries accepted by literally every other country in the world is not a small thing. Until that unreasonable position changes, it is completely irredeemable. For the record, China is making the rest of South East Asia suffer here, and not the US. This is one of many reasons why Vietnamese and US relations are stronger than ever. China is the aggressor here. it’s delusional to say otherwise.

People here are obsessed with fiber but I don't think the bandwidth I get from Comcast in an exurban Boston community is a lot better than Starlink.

Bandwidth needs could certainly increase in some manner in the future that makes a gigabit connection to every home in the US that gets electricity a practical necessity. But, for now, Starlink or the equivalent is a perfectly reasonable alternative at a cost that is on par with various other utilities.
It doesn't require a catastrophic siege-like environment; it just requires that electronic payment systems be unusable (e.g., a cyberattack).

Having cash means you'll be one of the people buying food that weekend, and not stuck in line at ATMs or simply unable to purchase food until the card system comes back online.

Maybe you need plywood and tarps and a few people to help. Maybe your workplace was flattened, but there's plenty to do - I'd rather get cash at the end of the day than a bunch of canned goods, unless I'm truly out of food and it's truly scarce.

I can use that cash for other things like fuel, or stuff that was lost because my house was flattened.

But in a scenario where people are desperate enough to riot for food, there will likely be shortages of other stuff, too. I'd assume it's more intuitive and fair to convert fuel-to-dollars and dollars-to-bread than fuel-to-bread, or days-wages-to-soup, which is the whole point of money anyway.
SETI wasn't a waste of time don't have any good alternatives to it. Folding@home on the other hand probably could have been a lot more useful if they were training transformers on their results instead of just doing pure protein dynamics simulations.

Maybe they evolved in both places independently, or maybe it took a couple million years for a pod of seals to make the journey from north to south, and then start dominating the local ecosystem.
I'm glad the story ran, even if it wasn't true - because it opened people's minds to the idea that this was happening. And it is a very real possibility. O.MG is a hobbyist project, but there's no question that the NSAs dirty tricks book, ANT/TAO[1] has something similar, but far more capable.

We should all be paying attention to hardware suppliers and making sure that objects are "as-ordered", but today even a standard chip packaging can hide a ton of malicious logic.

I don't think it shows that. GPT4 was not trained on decompiling binaries back into C. Amazing result for an untrained task.

We are soon going to have robust toolchain detection from binaries, and source recovery with variable and function names.
That's a high target. Farmer's walk 320 lb on 160 lb? Holy shit that's heavy.

Longevity drugs don't make a difference till that point? Might as well be useless since I think very few people can 2x BW deadlift. If you lift you can do it but most people don't lift heavy.
I think you have it backwards. You _first_ do server-side validation, then you add client-side validation _as an optimization_, so that invalid requests are not even sent.
No need for rumours, their S-1 is available. And no, they are not profitable. They spent something like $800M on staff last year, which is insane to me.
Which makes cancelling the project an easier decision.
In the beginning of my career I was only accepting short term projects, so I learned to always leave the code in a state where anybody can pick it up.
I still code in that way, but I know it makes me more replaceable.
The trickle-down scenario is one where wealth inequality does not come into conflict with democracy.

In traditional societies a wealthy household which could afford a maid but did not have one was committing a social injustice.

A poor household can afford a robot maid. A wealthy household can afford a human maid.
ISTR seeing they did 4U with 120mm instead of dual 80 too. That always looked compelling, because I figured a 4U rackmount would make a neat desktop-style case, but I could never justify the price.

Yeah, I figured that was the case. I'm pretty sure the issue is with the logic board and there's no way for me to fix it. The data isn't valuable, but thought it'd be worth a try to save some old pictures.
I live in CA. You're supposed to have an earthquake preparedness kit, that includes water, in bottles.

Do you know what happens the first moment there's anything that resembles a disaster... All the water gets bought up, because no one bothers being prepared.

Your average gas station gets gas delivered once a day (or more). Gas delivery stops, were screwed pretty quick.

The point being, the world is far far more brittle than anyone understands.
Man, I got a rack of tyans recently and I have to say, its not even a contest. Maybe something was of with that order but 1/3 of the hosts had issues, I suspect at the motherboard level but aside from sending them back a couple times for service support I've pretty much abandon the rack at this point. I'll probably send the machines to the shredder and replace them next time I have a budget cycle.

The comment I replied to was arguing that Mac file management sucks, no the other way around.
GPT4 has been significantly neutered. Personally I suspect it's a combination of model updates that aren't that good, but also resources being moved over to GPT5. I suspect there's a culture of "no roll-back".

If you go to the OpenAI playground and try out the original model, gpt-4-32k-0314, you'll see a dramatic difference in responses, especially for coding.

I’ve been in tech for the past decade and I sure as shit don’t have a million dollars. I’m just about getting to a point where I can buy my first house and not be house poor. To get that money you need to be in FAANG or other places that give you a lot of stocks that appreciate a ton.
Science could really use your expertise. Have you considered a job in a research group or facility? See what jobs your university has.
Also, consider which direction windows of various rooms you have face. Rooms are used differently during the day so for example morning sun in the bed room might be helpful if you need to wake up when sun rises. Also before modern houses things like air circulation and so on could have real effect of livability.

The steel isn’t structure, the coral is.

The steel is scaffolding.
If in some natural disaster situation a store can get a generator up and running to keep and sell some goods, let’s consider two different scenarios. One where they’re relying on good old cash to sell the stuff, and one where they’ve managed to get a network connection up and running and are taking digital payments.

In the cash scenario, customers who have cash in hand can buy stuff; now the store is running low on goods, but they have a pile of money in a safe. So they need to take that money to a wholesaler to buy more goods to sell.

If they sell a bunch of goods for digital payments, the money’s all sitting in their online account. When they want to restock they can pay the wholesaler digitally and have stuff delivered.

It’s almost like there’s a reason we invented banks.

Or. This is just one of the things ultra rich to do pass time.

If anyone at any company judges an engineer who crafts code that is easy for other engineers on their team to immediately pick up and start work on as more replaceable, that person is hopelessly incompetent. That would normally be a basic skill every engineer is expected to pick up before getting too far in their career.

If anything, an engineer with a clear tendency to try to write themselves job security is the one that should be replaced ASAP.
In case you haven’t noticed, we’re not formally at war yet. The US historically doesn’t make the first move since we’re a democratic republic and most constituents do not like war; it would also alienate most of our nominal allies. The best the US can do right now is containment and being ready to cut the supply lines from the Middle East.

Is there an online version?
I thought this too at the time. I ran the scripts, check my profile to make sure they were gone, then deleted my account. Went back the next day an a lot of my posts were back. And I couldn’t delete them anymore since I killed the account.

But I just checked, and they are gone. I can search google for my old username, and just references to my u/ by others is seen.

You might want to check again; I think there was some cache or mirroring that the deletes took a long time to propagate through.

Similar to how one knows that collisions in SHA-256 are rare. It's a widely discussed theory. You don't have to trust a single source to tune in to this theory.

If the guide is widely discussed and becomes as "common knowledge" as the list of planets in the solar system, you don't have to trust a single source. You can read the discussions about the steps everywhere around the web and form your own opinion.
