How exactly is it that highly skilled tech immigrants create demand?
Yeah but they had one job… nobody in corporate IT is going to want to bet their careers on buying into crowdstrike from this point onward. Maybe not terminal for the company but it’s going to hurt it for a long time to come.
it was a data/content update, not code, so more than likely it may not crash immediately. how long would the test vm/container wait before it gives the green light on uptime? The buggy code would have to process it after some time/trigger and other factors for the bsod to show.

They may have not done any testing at all because they were adding a named pipe to be monitored, kind of like adding a domain or ip to be monitored.

"impersonating" - creating a video using their likeness and only sending it to that person doesn't actually count as impersonating.

"Literally cyber stalking" - sending them an ad. If this is illegal then linkedin would also be party to the crime, I'm guessing their lawyers have checked this.

That's a theoretical possibility, but for most of them there's no indication that they've ever been free, except for RapidClick, where some of the non-fake reviews do seem to indicate it was free at some point.

Also, this doesn't explain why all of the fake reviews are occurring during the same one month period.
Germany is NOT politically stable. I would also prefer that when (not if) the next Nazi party wins an election, it has a hard time getting my data.

Germany seems to have not learned very much the first time, though, because it still keeps a hierarchical registry of everyone's religion and home address, and everyone in the bureaucracy has a "just follow orders" mentality.

> What type of tech projects, budget and success do you expect the EU commission to fund? Are there previous successes that could be emulated, from the EU or other governments? Google was created by private investors, as was Skype.

I'm not sure why you think the EU should be wasting bandwidth on this given that you are (accurately) identifying that it isn't managing to marshal much capital or following a model that leads to notable successes. The focus should be on incubating more successful strategies. The way to get good OSS ecosystems is a web of companies making money off open source software. That is how we get things like Linux, Chrome or Postgres.

> Successful delivery of hundreds of projects doesn't count?

Not really, no. Especially if the projects are already being funded by a government program - give me a budget and I can fund a thousand github projects. When you tried to list successes, you put together a list with names like XMPP or WordPress on it. And don't misunderstand me, I like XMPP and Wordpress; but they are not strategically useful to a body like the EU.

> Are you comparing nonprofit project budgets of a few thousand euros to corporate VC/investment budgets that are orders of magnitudes larger?

Yep. And it is unimpressive. It doesn't look like a close race to me, efforts via NLnet are feeble compared to the US approach, where they pour in orders of magnitude more effort and get much bigger payoffs.

The EU has a problem - no companies. They should solve that problem, not make random microdonations - there is no particular evidence that is powerful, at least not that I've seen. There is evidence that corporations are powerful at producing OSS though.

You have a weird definition of "trust." I keep asking this, but how would open sourcing the software prevent the global rollout? "Open source" doesn't mean "no auto-updates." Strictly, it doesn't even mean that you are legally allowed to modify the source code to make it not update automatically.
Competent fuzzers don't just use random bytes, they systematically explore the state-space of the target program. If there's a crash state to be found by feeding in a file full of null bytes, it's probably going to be found quickly.

The proximate cause is companies handing over total control of their systems to opaque security racketeering quacks. And the root cause of why a company would do that gets right to the heart of the reason why "security to check the boxes" is the phrase that's been going around in the past few days.

Any security that isn't done layer by layer in depth must be "tacked on" and try to know everything about a system at once and adapt in situ. Which is of course impossible on any given machine, you say. "But what if we leverage the power of the crowd?" said someone.
The billions that have been lost, and the lives that have been lost, have, in the blink of an eye, rendered the "too costly to implement" argument moot.

For bean-counting purposes, it's just really convenient that the burden of that cost was transferred onto somebody else, so that the claim can continue to be made that another solution would still be too costly to implement.

Accepting the status-quo that got us here in the first place, under the pseudo-rational argument that there are not realistic alternatives, is simply putting ones head in the sand and careening, full steam ahead, to the next wall waiting for us.

That there might not be an alternative available currently does not mean that a new alternative cannot be actively pursued, and that it is not time for extreem introspection.

> I am a user of Vinegar and Wipr so I am very curious now: why would the makers of these apps have paid for fake reviews?

This seems unlikely to me, that developers of 8 apps decided independently, at the same time to buy fake reviews. The simultaneity and similarity of all the reviews suggest a single source.
So many people would have "rights to their ancestral homeland" then.... History is full of conquest and expulsions and genocide. Arabs and Celts were both driven out of what is now my country, at points over a millennium ago. Shall their descendents be entitled to claim part of it as an ethnostate for themselves? Of course not, for that would be ridiculous.

Having colonial powers create an state in a place where people already lived, and which did not consent to its creation, was a terrible terrible idea that led to tremendous suffering a loss of life over the past 75 years. Acknowledging this is not antisemitic.
The scanner is a Ring 0[0] program. Windows only has 2 options 0 and 3. 3 won't work for any kind of security scanners, so they're forced to use 0.

The proper place would be Ring 1, which doesn't exist on Windows.

And being a kernel-level operation, it has the capability to crash the whole system before the actual OS has any chance to intervene.

Temperature and fertilizer overuse are the biggest contributors. At the very least show up to vote for people who aren't climate deniers.

I don't think this follows. Those vendors are third parties and reach for whatever they can get. Yes, if microsoft didn't allow kernel extensions then crowdstrike would run as SYSTEM in userspace, but that doesn't tell use whether they need it or not, it only tells us that they want it.

Based on other comments it can run as kernel module or as eBPF filters on linux. So I guess to them it's a less invasive/more power tradeoff which they'll take whenever it's available.
Perhaps worth mentioning is that someone attempted to port this to Rust and got about 60,000 lines of code into it before archiving the project.

Show HN: 4 Years Later, mmm.page 1.0
Hi all,

In 2021, I released the alpha version of mmm.page on HN. It came as a nice confidence boost during a particularly low point of the project, with 10,000 people signing up in a day.

I've spent the past few years continuing to work on it. The vision [1] hasn't changed: what if people could treat websites like an internet canvas? Could that make the internet richer? More idiosyncratic?

Much has happened since 2021. mmm.page remains bootstrapped, and it is now profitable. A TechCrunch artice [2]. Partnering with Google for .ing launch [3]. Custom domains, drawings, sections, responsiveness. New in 1.0: advanced styling, animations, browsing & discovery, and more.

There are 65,000+ people now making strange websites, resisting dead internet theory [3].

Take a look your at https://mmm.page.

It's still big on anime-style artists, sadly. At least in my bubble.

Mastodon had its chance, MissKey had its chance, BlueSky[1] had its chance, but none caught on.

Trying to commission good anime-style art without having to create a Xitter account has been difficult[2] for a while. Last time I searched, artists either said "DM me on Twitter", or had an email address but weren't open to comms at that moment.

Nowadays there's a few invite-only platforms (owned by shady companies) that makes all this easier, but only works if the artist has been invited there already.

[1]: While writing this I couldn't even remember this name and had to pause ~20-30 seconds until it came to me.

[2]: My search was limited to "artists who also stream" to reduce the chance of scams, so that filtered out a lot from the beginning.

> But wouldn't that be denying agency and stripping identity from the people who actually live there now?

Indeed, that's why the founding of Israel was so problematic. Living somewhere 2000 years ago does not trump the rights of the people who lived there for the last 2000+ years. If we are to be consistent, Berlin must be returned to the West Slavs, London to the Celts, and so on... it's nonsense.

In the West we have (at least) started to acknowledge the crimes of colonialism and the various wars of conquest over the centuries. For us it is not existential, to acknowledge that what the British did during the slave trade is not existential. But for Israel it is, so many Israelis have to just pretend that the founding of Israel was perfectly just and fair, when it so obviously was an act of total lunacy when looked at through today's eyes. Please note, I do support the continued existence of Israel, because I favour the status quo, but its founding was an act of monumental stupidity.

I lived in the same area as the GP, and the thing about not being able to go to the west with regular passports is false. In fact people from all over Yugoslavia went shopping to Trieste in Italy.

The special passports did exist however, and were issued to residents of what used to be the Free Territory of Trieste[0], both in Italy and Yugoslavia. They were established by the Udine Agreement of 1955 (although the border was still disputed and finally settled only in 1975 by the Treaty of Osimo[1]).

I can't find many sources about the special passports online. There is a mention here[2].

Their main advantage was the possibility of using secondary border crossings between Italy and Yugoslavia that had less traffic and shorter queues.

I didn't start out looking for fake reviews. I just happened to be looking at one of the apps in the App Store, noticed its fake reviews, which seemed very strange, so I looked at a few peer apps, found more fake reviews, and that's when I expanded my search, trying to make sense of it all. There was no methodology as such.
Immigrants don't need "our" permission to join "our" society, they only need the permission of the government, as a matter of legal formality. And of course one could argue that "illegal immigrants" are a part of society, just not legally, because societies aren't only defined in the context of states.

Also free speech is a universal value, is it not? It should apply equally to everyone, everywhere, all the time, and in all contexts.

<< Now, if you’re looking to move to the US, you can expect to work in poverty for a few generations as a second class citizen because that’s just how the “completely fair” capitalist system is set up.

Uh. I want to hope that this is just a oversimplification intended to get a reaction.

Yes, US does have real issues that it needs to address those in order to make social mobility reasonably attainable. Arguably, it is a lot harder to "make it" now.

I am just an anecdote here, but, I am a first generation immigrant. I have a house, a dog and a partner. Also next week, I am taking my vacation and buying a vette ( well, I scheduled a test drive -- didn't mentally commit to buying yet ). I do not consider myself a second class citizen. I am not rich, but I can't say I am poor either. My kid is starting school ( private, public one is not great here -- ok, but not great ).

I honestly do not think I would have been able to do the same in the old country.

I absolutely accept that I might not be the norm and the current version of capitalism needs to be reined in, but, honestly, if you do want to drive that point, I think you need a better argument.
So this is an argument for only using first-party (Microsoft) security software?
Linux already considers kernels with proprietary modules tainted. And with secure boot you can lock it down so that root can't load kernel modules.

Typst is missing vital features to produce professional looking documents. Latex and Adobe InDesign use paragraph based algorithms for line breaks and hyphenation (see http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/spe.4380111102 for Latex). That is the main reason why papers written in Word look so amateurish. Proper support for footnotes seems to be also lacking in Typst.

Footnotes might be handled properly in a future version of Typst. Regarding paragraph formatting I'm not so optimistic. I've read the thesis and papers by one of the Typst authors. They either don't seem to be aware of better approaches or they simply don't care about aesthetics.

Edit:
Another thing that irks me about Typst is that it does not seem to be a purely not-for-profit project. It is tightly entangled with their commercial offering, whatever that might mean for the future of the "free" version.

>Strictly, it doesn't even mean that you are legally allowed to modify the source code to make it not update automatically.

Most definitions of open-source (e.g. OSI) include rights to modification. Without modification and distribution rights, programs are normally referred to as source-available instead. This is a common complaint on this very forum when companies misleadingly market their SA code as OS.
Mac OS only doesn't need driver loading because they know exactly which hardware it runs on and link those drivers into the kernel. This is not applicable to Windows systems.
