That's not really analogous to revenge porn laws (where the “revenege" part is both non-literal—the actual condition is lack of consent—and refers to a special circumstance that makes what is normally legal, illegal, not an enhanced penalty for existing offense.)

But if your proposed concept of “revenge libel” laws are just, as you say an added penalty for a subset of existing libel offenses, then while they might add more severe sanctions, they don't change the scope of what is prohibited, so they wouldn't change the calculus on whether anything is illegal.

>The majority of folks are consumers and unable and/or unwilling to handle the complexity of self-hosting

The majority of folks just want to text and call on their phones. They are unwilling to handle the complexity of having an entire computer in their pocket. -- 2006

>There are no incentives for the major vendors to implement protocols that will threaten their massive advertising revenues.

Right. And Yahoo didnt want to be a search engine. They wanted to be the home page of the internet.

Just a wild guess: The connection is uncontrolled growth, where companies evolve from a normal business to a perpetual "increasing shareholder value" grift (think the Apples, Googles, Microsofts, Metas, (Space)Xs out there...). It happened when tech incorporated "the user" as a product (as opposed to tech working to actually solve problems and elevate the status quo).

Do you have any examples how to add external dependencies? It's a problem that almost every C/C++ project solves differently, unfortunately.

Ah, Zig, yet again reinventing the wheel and claiming to have discovered roundness.

The author has described a metaprogramming utility for allocating a contiguous hunk of memory, carving this hunk into fields (in the article's example, a fixed-sized Client header, then some number of bytes for host, then some number of bytes for read_buffer, and then some for write_buffer). I'll acknowledge the syntax is convenient, but

1. we've done this since time immemorial in C. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/evntcons...

2. you can implement this pattern ergonomically in C++, and even moreso once the C++26 reflection stuff comes online

3. the zig implementation is inefficient. It desugars to

  const Connection = struct {
    ptr: [*]u8,
    lens: struct {
      host: usize,
      read_buffer: usize,
      write_buffer: usize,
    }
  }

That first pointer is needless indirection and probably a cache miss. You should (unless you have specific performance data showing otherwise) store the sizes in the object header, not in an obese pointer to it. (It's bigger than even a fat pointer.)

With a laser!!!

So basically, Elon Musk is eating NASA, and people are cheering.

If i leave a knife on the table and you decide to stab me with it, who is to blame? The knife, me or you?

EKGs should be extremely easy for AI to identify every disease with a range of probabilities and even some humans can’t identify from EKGs. Do we have the labelled dataset for this?

Maybe useful for VCs who have a portfolio of companies and need to put stuff in their presentations to LPs.

If you’re an employee you can’t look at this like an investor would. Your risk profile is completely different. The write up is correct in that it’s basically a call option, correctly point out there is no market for it and then ignore the fact that zero liquidity means you can land a 747 between the bid and ask (if you get anyone to buy from you at all).

This a feel good number generator.

>About the OEM, are you working on having devices ship with GrapheneOS, or devices be GOS compatible (i.e. same as the Pixels)?

As far as I'm aware as an outsider, the aim is a device that is compatible with GrapheneOS like the Pixels, yes.

>If you're thinking of devices shipping with it, would this fix the issue of Play Integrity/SafetyNet failing?

I think to pass this you need to be 'blessed by Google' which means being certified Android by their standards. GrapheneOS have mentioned that their CTS/CDD Android certification process holds back some of the privacy/security features (think things like new Sensors and Internet permissions etc.) implemented so they cannot can't target it.

The bitchx irc client is probably my first exposure to ascii art. Sad to see it’s not in here

Yea this is just pure bs. If you had taken to search for the name, you'd have found the wiki explaining the name's origin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raghavan

Also,Raghavan is most probably his father's name and Prabhakar will be his given name.

Theoretically, since you have three drives you want one drive to be with writeback. This way you could double the speed of your writes.

If they provide a valued service to aviation / space domain, they will easily find jobs with companies in that domain. If those companies provide a valued service to individuals, such individuals will pay them. Anything else is state-sponsored cronyist robbery.

Dotcom boom gave them one hell of a momentum

Deeply disagree.

It's like looking at the current selfhosted landscape and saying "nobody will want to do this". It's like looking around in 1970 and saying "nobody will want to own computers, you just rent them for tasks".

I say this after many man-years of invested time over a timespan of 15 years to selfhost. The software landscape changed immensely. Especially now with AI, the software output and ability to learn is night and day. We're not very far off to have great, and not just good click-to-install solutions.

If you don't own your infra, you are dependent. "Community hosting" is just hosting with a less reliable and more finicky admin. E2E on big cloud is nice but the price and terms may change any day. E2E in cloud itself is under scrutiny.

Selfhosted security is an issue, but individual users are harder to scrape and offer less of a bounty beyond more easily defeatable basic script attacks.

Instead of a defeatist attitude why not just solve the issues, they're not that hard.

What's the difference between "Religious" and "Traditional-religious"?

Is "Traditional-religious" a strict subset of "Religious"? Is Ultra-orthodox a strict subset of "Traditional-religious"? If so, it's odd that Traditional-religious has lower fertility than Religious.

Very confusing to read the article labelled as 1998 and have references for newer stuff (e.g. Ratatouile). The biggest one for me is to recommend a bunch of 98-propiate languages (C++) and then recommend Go! I guess that the article has been slightly updated, but it felt weird. In another language I checked the references are older.

Yea, I'm really confused on this.

Someone who understands it well should explain please.

Like the Astronomer CEO that was forced to resign, could the sane thing happen to Zuckerberg in similar circumstances since he has majority share?

What If it was something entirely different, could they force him out? I don't understand it.

Cory Doctorow has a good term for what those big American tech companies do; rather than too big to fail, they're too big to care[0]. Because they've muscled all their meaningful competition out of the way (or at least think they do), they instead start ignoring support requests and increasingly alienating customers.

You'd think that eventually market forces would try to correct this, but in practice that doesn't happen because big companies can just buy out any entity that's an actual threat to them/cover so many areas that getting rid of them is nigh impossible. (There's some attempts to limit this from the EU and before 2025, the US as well, but a major part of the beef the US has with the EU is that they're trying to force these major tech companies to care again.)

Time to reform the socio-economic landscape in the allegedly richest country in the world if it can't teach its children to swim.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 machines have no touchpad or touchscreen support. Listing them as "supported" requires a creative interpretation of the term.

Thanks also Y Combinator and friends for making this possible

I have created nanotimestamps which basically allow you to embed a lot of data into blockchain itself with basically 0 gas fees.

I don't really like crypto that much from a currency perspective given its history with scam but I like the technology just a little bit so I built it.

If someone is interested on someway to monetize or I don't know just talk about it, I am more than happy to.

Regarding zk human proves, there are some zkmail things that can allow you to prove an amazon transaction or tax reciept etc. which can prove human proof so yeah I think its possible.

In civilised countries, governments provide accessible swimming lessons as it's core life skill.

He did at the very beginning, but lost it because of dilution and then gained it back as FB became bigger and he could play investors off one another.

I wish cardiovascular monitoring was better. It's not uncommon for cardiologist to discharge you saying 'all fine, EKG ok' even though reality says otherwise.

Happy you got stents at the right time.

Not quite. 67% of households are owner-occupied.

This means adult children living with parents are counted in the 67%. Also flatmates and boarders, elderly parents, etc. Obviously children are not home owners as well.

A lot less than 67% of Australians own their home.

Any practical tips on how to improve upon the current situation?
