And what was he supposed to say? Here comes some arrogant jerk, without any history in the project and announces that "Calibre needs to convert to Python 3" without offering any help or solution. Considering how big project Calibr

No one expects report every single day. But when I for instance search CNN on Assange hearing, only at least little bit relevant thing in last month is that on the 10th of September lawyer representing prosecution was suspected to have Covi

Once again it shows what a kangaroo court is Assange hearing.

I would think that not being on any of lists would be so suspicious on its own, it would warrant adding to a list.

Is he really strong counter example? If you actually count bounties he got this year so far, it's less than $50,000. I think he could easily earn more working as some kind of security engineer (with way less flexibility though).

This would be more concerning if free speech wasn't limited so much already. Screws are already tightened so much you will barely notice difference.

No, it wouldn't. Either it would be only for rich and create extreme resentment or it would lead to extreme overpopulation, that would lead to things like one-child policies, reproduction lotteries, eugenics etc. all of which would cre

The ten rivers dumping 90% of plastic are in Asia and Africa. But Chinese trash is indeed big factor in more than half of the rivers.

Why would you do manual backups? Just schedule cronjob to periodically upload the database somewhere. You can save it anywhere - other $5 server (not $15), to s3, even on google drive. I don't know if there is threat of database being

I'm not Ghost user, but quick look at their site shows that it supports SQLite. So I have hard time to believe there would be a problem.

That only shows that it's excluded, not for what reason. In 2017 Internet Archive announced it will start to ignore robots.txt in the future. When I tried to archive random facebook page (it was not allowed in robots.txt), it archived

Do you have any source on that? Sites can request archive.org to stop archiving them and to delete what is currently archived. They can do it for any reason; concealing changes of article contents might be one of them.

Differentiation is like squeezing toothpaste out of tube, integration is like pushing the paste back inside.

This is pretty cool. Per-file hash trees is something I've been missing for some time now.

I wouldn't dismiss it so easily. 25 images can give you alphabet. That could be useful for people with locked-in syndrome.

Idea: Make image recognition app that does the same. Market it as environmentally friendly solution. You are welcome.

Frankly I have no idea why are people acting so impressed. ~15 years ago were extremely common images which showed user's IP address, it was usually done in PHP using imagemagicks. This is basically same, just with added cache of text

It's not a certificate for internal ip address, it's a certificate for host name. Ip address is irrelevant here.

In central Europe it works slightly differently. When stopped by police and getting ticket, you can decide not to pay it on the spot and instead send the infraction to administrative proceedings. There you have chance to dispute the ticket

Are you seriously proposing totalitarian internet? So let's think who would adopt it first. My guess: China, Russia, Belarus, maybe even North Koreans would finally join internet.

by Hitton 6y ago
Thanks, that was much more informative and better explanation of situation in Belarus than I have read anywhere else. Also shorter. I wonder if that is related to the fact that you are not trying to show ads together with that.

There is no motivation for that. White collar criminals, especially the big ones are generally well connected, have powerful acquaintances, often know dirt on other people and mostly steal from either little fish and government (if they ste

Interesting. Two things that I found interesting: 1) ip addresses he uses have probably really good reputation, because even with rather bad image recognition ability it still lets him in. 2) surprisingly enough google's captcha appare

You really can't blame them much, they had backups. University doesn't work like corporate, you have thousands of student who change every year, do their projects for which they require lot of access; you can't lock everythin

Mudlet is great, thanks for your work. It's a pity though that it took nearly until MUDs are dead to such good client appear. I'm rather sure that if comparable clients existed 20 or maybe even 10 years ago, MUDs wouldn't be

Do you consider wasting your time on HN immoral, because you could be helping people (or earning money to help them) instead?
