It makes sense to me. They're blocked in Europe because of European government polices, not American ones. Maybe there's some sort of legal immunity the US government could grant to domestic sites which would allow them to lift th

You think candy companies aren't doing everything they can to get repeat customers? There's no law saying social media has to be a "sweet and nice place to be", and that was never the goal. They want to make it an inter

DNS has always been a single-point-of-failure for TLS cert issuance. The threat is real, but not at all unique to this validation method. (For example, an attacker with control of DNS could switch the A record to their server and use that t

Hot take: trying to restrict what front end people use to access your service is almost always an anti-competitive, anti-consumer freedom move which should be legally prohibited for those reasons. (Not just for AI, I'm talking about an

This is going to make it way easier to get publicly trusted certs for LAN servers that aren't internet facing. I'm looking forward to every admin UI out there being able to generate a string you can just paste into a DNS record to

Why would it matter what they want? I'm making a rhetorical point that "multiplying the money" is de facto not the sole goal of these funds, there's clearly something else at play.

Is high volatility really such a concern when you're dealing with a large pool of funds over such a long timeframe? Sure, if you need to withdraw funds during a downturn that's bad, but over the long term isn't that statistic
370.
by Ajedi32 8mo ago
Yes, that's my point. That bet ended 8 years ago. If "multiplying money" is really the sole goal then why didn't all the pension funds switch to investing in index funds back then? There are clearly some structural issue
371.
by Ajedi32 8mo ago
If multiplying money is the goal why does the article say they're doing a worse job of that than just buying index funds? If that claim is true, then clearly there are other issues at play than just that.

The list of open source apps in this article was very informative and something you can benefit from even if you don't use GrapheneOS. Many of the apps listed I hadn't heard of.

A less incompetent employer would look at the conviction, realize if was for stealing a candy bar 25 years ago, and decide it doesn't matter. Though if the details of the case were not public or hard to access they might assume it was

If you commit a crime, get caught, and that makes people trust you less in the future, that's just the natural consequences of your own actions. No, I don't think if you shoplift as a teenager and get caught, charged, and convicte

The laws of supply and demand are not optional. If you try to use government to force reality to conform to your idea of how things should work you're just going to get 1,000 companies buying 10,000 hard disks each rather than 10 compa

"Clanker" came from Star Wars. It's kinda wild to watch sci-fi slowly become reality.

Yeah, the more I think about it the more futile this effort starts to look. The industry is investing tons of resources into building and maintaining an open, highly secure PKI ecosystem which allows any server on the public internet to cry

Interestingly though, doesn't this threat become less credible the shorter certificate lifetimes get? Back in the day they could just do this and server admins would figure out how to switch to a new CA the next time they got around to

In practice this might just mean that applications designed to use web PKI certs start ignoring the value of the extendedKeyUsage extension. OP says Prosody already does this.

When you try to use the law (or the threat of legal action) to force people to "do something" about anonymous, unsupervised kids on the public internet using their free platform, this is the type of solution you're going to g

"Every law" seems like a huge exaggeration. Assuming for a moment we agree Pavel is a victim of selective prosecution, notice they're not charging him with a clear, straightforward crime like murder, they're charging him

by Ajedi32 9mo ago
That's even worse, because then it's not really a law, it's a license for political persecution of anyone disfavored by whoever happens to be in power.

If the satellite requires ~3,000 W to work in the light phase (based on solar panel size), then reducing that to 300 W during the dark phase would most definitely require it to "stop working". The battery math is based on purely s

Looks like that's a purely speculative assumption the blog author made, not a fact. I'm not sure why he made that assumption given that Starlink doesn't actually stop working at night. Fair point that in SSO you'd need

I'm not talking about the whole idea, just the heat dissipation part. So many people in this thread seem so sure this is impossible because you can't radiate heat in space, completely ignorant to the fact that SpaceX is already di

What makes you so sure? SpaceX already has thousands of 6 kW networking racks flying around in LEO and they dissipate their heat just fine, and are plenty cost-effective. You think they can't do any better than that with a new design s
