I can't imagine any other mission-driven nonprofit entity with a real operating budget disregarding the law to such a degree that it threatens the very existence of its operations, including important services that have nothing to do with the CDL case.

The way that nonprofits usually respond to major lawsuits are board meetings and discussions with legal counsel to evaluate the relevant issues and come up with a plan of action that can reduce legal costs (including settlements) and mitigate risks to the organization's ongoing operations and status. Board members also have a fiduciary responsibility to the organization that may go against the wishes of the chair or CEO or founder.

So I have to ask: Why is the IA board different? How come this crisis wasn't averted years ago when the first C&Ds were issued, and presumably, legal counsel gave input and the board deliberated a response? Is it a true independent board or a rubber stamp board? Or, are they idealists who hew to the founder's values despite the existential threat to the organization? Does anyone have insights to share?

Or is there some other explanation, such as a plan B or an ace in the hole that will bring in funding or transfer of assets if and when the final appeals fail?

I am truly worried for the wonderful public domain archives that could disappear.
While blast radius of both is large, there are major differences between them. Log4J was a largely app-level vulnerability affecting Java-based systems.

This vulnerability, had all gone to the attackers plan, would have been present on the major distros next major releases through a key infrastructure component which would have been installed far more widely, IMO.

Another major difference is that Log4J is already part of the Apache Foundation, which means it should have greater oversight/security maintenance anyway, while this is an attack against a solo developer.

It's definitely not to downplay the severity of the Log4J incident, by any means. But they are decidedly different.

At least on HN, the principle mode I see them in is paywall circumvention. That’s tangible revenue to news organisations. I love the Archive’s mission, but they go about it in a risky way.
Making stuff faster is relatively straightforward engineering. Optimisation is a favored past time of many engineers.

Getting stuff that people value enough to pay for, to make money, is the hard part.

Any friction you put into the value creation process because "optimizing for future problems" is just doing it wrong.

I'm not sure what to make of this either. The public medical reports are suggesting psychogenic illness, which does happen. You'd also think something would show up from public medical evaluations. But these recent reports are saying there's information that isn't being made public, and I know from my own professional life that certain kinds of brain injury are notoriously difficult to detect on brain scans. And then in one of these recent stories one of the people said their phone battery exploded or burst open?

As for the benefit cost analysis, a CBS piece said this:

"Edgreen said the officers targeted were top performers.

'And consistently there was a Russia nexus," he said. 'There was some angle where they had worked against Russia, focused on Russia, and done extremely well.' "

One of the reports said one of the FBI agents was interviewing a Russian agent repeatedly over a long period of time.

Also, there's been a lot of suspicious deaths of foreign diplomats with ties to Russia in the last several years.

Anyway, I'm kind of scratching my head about this as well and am not sure what to think, but it doesn't seem implausible to me in the very least, at least from a political-intelligence-security angle.
I'm not really sure to be honest. The traffic today has me stepping away from work occasionally to process calls in little batches :) I would probably just streamline the moderation process to make it a bit easier. For various reasons I wouldn't want it to be completely automatic (for one I just like to listen to the messages).
Every growing project has things thing the maintainers would like to work but that do not currently. The job of the maintainer is to balance the value of releasing a cut of the software as stands and learning about other unknown issues while continuing to work on the known, or to work on the known and ignore the unknown until finished with the known. Neither way is strictly good or bad.
This sounds more like a business problem at odds with quarterly planning.
Legislation is crafted in the interests of those who would prefer IA didn't exist.

We need to have a Bittorrent style P2P system to ensure IA content survives and remains shareable in some form if their main storage goes down or ends up acquired/controlled by some untrustworthy actor.
I would submit that the very idea of "nature", as used informally, is ill-defined and frankly incoherent, and should not be used, or at least should only be used loosely within specific contexts where it does make sense (a healthy ecosystem in which human beings also thrive, which is no doubt a range), like "I love taking walks in nature". What is natural under this definition? If water from a stream natural, but is water synthesized from hydrogen and oxygen unnatural?

The only sensible definition I know of of "natural" is "according to the nature of a thing". Thus, human beings have a nature, and that nature is what determines what is good or bad for us. Arsenic isn't poisonous as such, but it is poisonous to us by virtue of our nature. We are rational animals by nature. And so, unnatural are things which depart from that nature, like the desire to eat glass or having a sexual interest in oak trees and so on. It is the nature of a thing that is the reference point that allows pathologies to be defined. By nature, we should have two arms, hence to lose or lack an arm is a defect. Similarly, psychological disorders only make sense with reference to the normative, which is defined by human nature. To say "everything is natural" renders the word meaningless, annihilating all justifiable and objectively normative statements, which is absurd. If everything is "natural", then nothing is unnatural, because natural is simply identical with everything.
Functionality like IFUNC is completely inexcusable outside of dev/debug builds imo. It's rot.
TTS, an LLM to vet them
1. Very clean, easy to understand APIs.

2. Easy to make API calls.

3. Easy to reason about server/client component boundaries

Makes it easy for an LLM to write code without all the cruft/boilerplate.
I still don't know. I feel like there are many ways where GPT will write some code or fix a bug in a way that makes it significantly harder to debug. Even for relatively simple tasks, it's kind of like machine-generated code that I would not want to touch.
Fair enough and I get it, I've been there. But for a 17 year old company worth ~30 billion to have this many issues compared to both newer startups(Salesloft/Outreach) and large incumbents(Salesforce) is just unacceptable.

I'm not here saying every company is perfect, I have quite a few gripes with other services but they either:

A. Actually respond to issues and work with developers and actively help maintain their app integrations despite significantly smaller support teams(I've worked with at most 1-2 csms and an engineer or pm with most integrations but with hubspot I get routed from our app manager, to a csm to an entire engineering team and even the head of support all to just get an email that their oauth issues won't be fixed until q3 202x since developer experience isn't a priority)

or

B. Blatantly don't care but don't sell themselves to sales team that they have a great integration and great support for people building integrations. I'm at a point where I'm trying to actively push our mutual customers to anything but hubspot

Once we have this fully automated, any good developer could have a team of 100 robo SWEs and ship like crazy. The real competition is with those devs not with the bots.
That would explain why their receipt scanning is so damn slow even for easily scannable PDF receipts.

This is such an extremely bullish case, I'm not sure why you'd think this is even remotely possible. A Google search is usually more valuable than ChatGPT. For example, the rust utf-8 example is already verbatim solved on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/l5m1rw/how_can_i_effi...
Ask HN: How much revenue share do solo developers usually negotiate?
Let's say you build some system/app for someone else as a solo developer and you want your compensation to be revenue sharing. Around what percent of revenue does a developer usually get in this situation? For example, is 10% common?
I cannot comment for Africa , but having lived in parts of India where elephants both wild and domesticated are prevalent there is a real human wild life conflict .

You will not truly understand the pressures on both wildlife and people unless you live in a populous location . The people living close to wildlife are already marginalized and disenfranchised and when conservation does not account for their livelihoods it does not work.

There is not much ivory or trade in India, elephants are revered in religion and strongly protected by the government federally and locally, the friction still exists between farmers and wild life.

To quote the Botswana minister it is easy to sit in [city] and comment on the nature of their conservation, go there and live their lives and then make sweeping statements.
Linden trees have a unique scent, but I never thought it was repulsive or even remotely associated with the kinds of things people associate it with.

The signal may not have a single source. An attacker could also use multiple antenna to make the signal source appear as originating from some space between them. Could have multiple antenna broadcasting in time slices to maintain a constant signal from a varying source location.

I don't buy it. Most private companies would require a face-to-face meeting when you start. Even if you're fully remote, the expectation would be that at some point you would meet your coworkers at meetspace, most likely before you get to commit anything substantial. The ones that are worth penetrating will almost certainly require a background check.

And then, once you're in, you cannot just commit to your target project willy-nilly, as your manager and your manager's manager will have other priorities. A for-profit company's frequently dysfunctional management would actually work as deterrent here: you don't just need to justify your code, you will have to justify why you were working on it in the first place.
Yeah, I guess my general thought is that anything which encourages hiding files is actively risky unless you have some kind of robust validation process. As an example, I was wondering how many people would notice an extra property in a typically gigantic NPM lock file as long as it didn’t break any of the NPM functions.
In my part of the US, anyway, there are several grocery stores that don't use loyalty cards at all, so you can avoid the extortion by shopping at those.

For #4, maybe you can build a single instance API proxy that handles the rate limiting better.
> This is intended by the SSPL; there's no fiasco. The vast majority of the users don't need to do anything, and if they change [to any upcoming fork], it's for ideological, not licensing (concrete), reasons.

If you are like me and prefer your libraries to come from a distro (reason: cf xz-utils), then there is a very concrete reason. They won't be in most major distro's, because the distros don't consider the SSPL free.
How would this cheap RFID system work for produce and other items sold without packaging or by weight? (for example fruit/veg)
MITM kings
Multiple times in my career at a new job I've had to build a kind of bootstrapped OSS-based observability platform (mostly a mixture of prometheus and grafana typically) which can come with more overhead than you'd think and doesn't usually provide a lot of the analytical stuff without stitching together a bunch of things. Datadog out of the box gives you everything you can possibly want - as others have stated bills can balloon, for instance if you run spot instances or have a lot of hosts coming up/down I believe it bills you for each one even if it's short lived.

I've been working with an enterprise license for a year and while I don't really hear too much about cost, some simple considerations to the design of the infrastructure it was supporting seems to have prevented a ballooning bill (so far).

So for me, not having the engineering time or buy-in to build a whole home grown observability platform by using OSS tools like this (and all the quirks that can come with them) ends up being a lot more expensive than just sucking it up and buying an enterprise plan. At least so far.

If I had the option to do it from scratch how I wanted, with no time or budget constraints, I'd prefer of course not to be beholden to a major SaaS company that charges for ambiguous things that are hard to predict like "per host", because it's quite easy for these services to bury themselves so deep into your infrastructure that you just bite the bullet on whatever inevitable rug pull or price increase comes next. It has happened to me before managing enterprise Hashicorp Vault.
Ah well I don't know about integrations/links from referencing the ID, but fwiw you can add an automatic numerical ID (including with a custom prefix) column to Notion tables.

And are you hiring? (:sweat-smile: just kidding, sort of!)
Isn’t it fundamental in the nature of copyright holders and producers to want to destroy and limit access to past content, especially ones that they don’t profit from? There is a finite amount of attention and consumer money, and the attention particularly directed to old content they don’t own is something they will always view negatively and try to suppress. At some point, we must accept that the entire copyright system doesn’t really incentivise creation but control, even if it means destroying content and restricting access to it.”
Awesome, thank you!

I hate self-checkout as well.

The frustrating thing is that stores have fewer cashiers, so there's always a line. But often that line is shorter than the one for self-checkout.
“Does it even matter?”

Yes, it would have prevented this attack. It isn’t totally sufficient but it’s quick and easy and would have prevented this attack.

“Most people don’t want …”

I get it. I think the issue is that pushing junk code from malicious contributors into your project causes more hassle in the long run. If you just want to code and make stuff work, you should probably be careful who you pull from. It’s not just for the benefit of others, it’s first and foremost to protect the code base and the time and sanity of other contributors.
ffmpeg_command = f"ffmpeg -re -i {input_file} -f v4l2 {selected_device}"

No. Just, no.

subprocess.call(["ffmpeg", "-re", "-i", input_file, "-f", "v4l2", selected_device])

The money that Alphabet makes from all Dark-UI, data and other crud they abuse the internet with; they should be forced to make YouTube free.

If YouTube is going to show adverts, I'll just won't give viewers attention.

Your the fool if you thinking paying is worth while. It only forces upon encouragement of adverts and ensures that Google has the better of you, to even think Google needs the money is laughable at best. They want your money, and they get it. I won't give them mine, so I won't watch. The presenter misses out in the end.

Don't give me bandwidth, storage costs and all that crap because that's pocket change to them.

So stop being a sheep or stop telling me what to do.
> You are doing precisely what you claimed to want to critique others for - you are rejecting the facts to try to turn Debs into whatever you want him to be.

On the contrary, I embraced the facts which you linked--it's just that the facts which you linked don't say what you claim they do. I would encourage anyone reading this conversation to click the link somenameforme posted and see that in fact, the link says what I'm saying it does.

> Debs lead strikes which turned into riots, resulting in massive property damage and numerous deaths, multiple times.

Did Debs incite that violence? You can juxtapose him next to violence all you want, but that's not evidence that did anything to cause it.

> This is a fact. You trying to spin him into being some sort of dedicated believer in peaceful protest is your opinion, and a poorly supported one at that.

Well, we can agree to disagree about whether the quote you linked supports my opinion well or poorly. But I don't feel that I need to support my opinion better than I have, given your total absence of any support for your opinion. If you choose to post any evidence which actually supports your opinion I'll be happy to do more thorough research (and admit I'm wrong, if I am wrong).

The fact is, Eugene Debs did write to the strikers, "Commit no violence." If you want to ignore that fact so you can pretend he's some sort of terrist, it might have been easier if you hadn't linked a page with that very quote in it. :)

My experience using these locations is that I entered, grabbed the items I wanted and just left. Because they were closer to convenience stores, I was basically speedrunning it. A drink and a sandwich? Maybe 30 seconds tops. There wasn't any point in lingering. I wonder how much of that changed the dynamics of how many people were inside?
