> ""Having easy access to his whereabouts at all times" is hyperbole. Only his jet is being tracked, not his physical location at all times. " But knowing when he leaves a city and arrives at another is half the bat

Because it's common sense? I honestly was not aware of that tweet before I posted this today. But you and others have pointed it out to me. Interesting he explicitly states it's a direct threat to his personal safety. Kind of stre

It should be obvious, but to a crazy person who is interested in harming Elon, this is a gift wrapped up under the Christmas tree. Great, now they can wait outside the airport, or know that he just flew home to Austin tonight, or landed in

Thanks to the ElonJet twitter account in question, no? It's doxing, plain and simple.

by 40four 4y ago
In the SAME TWEET, he admitted it's a direct threat to his personal safety. Why is that something that's not okay to change your mind on? Are you arguing that his life on a day to day basis should be put in more danger is okay, in

Paparazzi is certainly doxxing. White house press corps, definitely not, not sure how that's comparable. ElonJet? 100% doxxing, and I don't know how anyone could argue otherwise.

Well that doesn't answer the question. Figuring out who owns that particular jet, and or what it's license number is is not obvious. One more step down the line. How would a normal person know who owns "FALCON LANDING LLC&quo

I shouldn't have to, it's pretty obvious. But sure, if I were a crazy person hell bent on harming Elon, then that account gives me precise times and locations where I could find him and chase him down with a gun. Or hey, look. Elo

Nobody said it tracked him all the time, "but it gave real time updates of where his jet took off and landed. It would be pretty easy for a crazy person to wait outside the airport with a gun and follow him. Why would you need a missil

I honestly was unaware of the this tweet, and it's interesting he mentions he personal saftey. So now he changed his mind that his personal security is more important? Hardly outrageous to me. I don't wish for anyone to be less sa

I couldn't care less about Elon, unlike seemingly everyone else here. It's not about him. I would not support that type of account if it were targeting Brad Pitt, POTUS, or even my next door neighbor.

Thank you, well put. It's like everyone's incredible amount of hate towards Elon is blinding them to the human aspect of this. Never seen such overwhelming support for a doxxing account. Let's not forget to be humans guys.

Public information or not, that doesn't make it ethical. It would be different if it tracked other celebrities also. It's a personal attack. I don't know why I have to explain why it would be a safety threat, but sure. Someon

I'm flabbergasted by the overwhelming response that this account should be allowed "in the name of Free Speech". This isn't a free speech issue. This is a personal safety issue. It is a personal attack towards Musk. As

It's amazing to me the mental gymnastics one must have to do to defend the @ElonJet account, simply because you might not like Elon on a personal level. Of course that account should be suspended. Yeah I know, public information/

Maybe not outright complaining, but the whole thread does come off as a little passive aggressive/ salty to me.

Fair enough. But to be fair, the article mentions mushrooms are one of the main ingredients, and I can’t think of a better analogue than that. Even unprocessed, if you took the right species of mushroom, and injected some ‘seafood’ flavor f

I don’t see what’s interesting or intellectually gratifying about this at all. It reads like an advertisement for that startup company. What did they technically achieve here?

The more interesting part of that article was the ML techniques described, and the actual conclusion that using said techniques, scam versus not-scam projects can be identified very early on. But that was lost is the typical ‘I told you s

by 40four 4y ago
I understand, but it isn’t the conclusion. I read it obviously, the sentence I quoted is in the conclusion as well. The title is spurring the same old boring “crypo bad/ crypto good” arguments we’ve been over 1000 times. We should be

The point is that an unsuspecting/ naive user of malicious emails will be tricked into giving away their personal or banking info. Or sending money to “renew their car warranty” and what have you. I don’t see how that’s any different t

by 40four 4y ago
This title should be changed. It is heavily editorialized. It’s not what the paper is about. It is just causing the typical crypto haters to get out their pitch forks. This article is about fraud detection. The conversation should really be

That’s not what they were saying. Of course, your Mastodon instance need to be hosted on some remote Linux server in the cloud. But imagine you could use a mobile app, that provides the service of handling said instance, & exposes the f

by 40four 4y ago
I think you are misinterpreting what the parent comment is suggesting. You for sure can’t host a Mastodon server off of a mobile device. I think they were suggesting ‘how hard would it be’ to make a mobile app that would allow anyone to s

Check out this article from the other day. It gives a nice info-graphic showing a lot of the major players in Activity-pub. No shortage of options :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33472622

The alternative is in the title. Unless it’s PET #1 or #2, throw it in the dumpster.

All fair points! Maybe I should reevaluate :)

You're not wrong per say, but that's not really what this guide is about. It's more about self hosting open source applications and services, not simple web pages. So I don't see how Just make an index.html and put it w

I’m with you, I de-Googled all my services a few years ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. I’m curious though, what’s preventing you from using a password manager on your phone? I use KeePass, and I’m able to use my password D

I’m confused. I don’t know how long it’s been around, but I was introduced to this document when I got into Web programming 5-6 years ago. It explicitly states as one of the main goals, ”- (Is) suitable for deployment on modern cloud platf
