You have described self-interest. That's not to say unions, or self-interest itself, are bad.

Fair enough, my claim about ever seeing something by someone you don't know is well countered by your search example. (I think recommendations from people you know is technically another example of that, but not in the sense I intended

I'd assumed that the updating of the B3 dict takes place at runtime , either during module initialisation or lazily at the first call (that is, roughly as late as possible -- certainly, well after the wheel was built), just as a perf

Well, replies to a post also require moderation. In general, if you want people to ever see something created by people outside of their explicitly chosen friends: moderation. (Plenty of people don't want that, or would at least pref

I guess you're making the argument that, while padlocks sometimes protect things of low value, thus justifying the use of cheap, easily broken locks in those cases, the times where authenticity of an image is important are nearly alway

There is no content in your response. At all. I honestly don't think I've come across a post this devoid of content on this site before. All I can perceive in it is a generalised hate towards some broader thing that you feel cer

I think public key cryptography offers a technical solution that is nearly as ideal here as for its existing uses for securing communication between physically remote actors -- please see my comment here for details: https://news

What makes you so certain that this valuable research showing weaknesses in today's systems will render the C2PA concept useless forever? Yes, software LPEs are a risk -- as they are in every nontrivial computer system. New ones wi

You mean their proposal 3? I assumed that the reason this article exists at all is because that is currently forbidden for some esoteric reason.

As TFA says, the packing materials themselves cost cents and aren't the problem -- the yearly costs of registering, etc., in each EU country are.

TFA laid out exactly how destructive it is. It would wipe out the 50% of Lectronz sellers who sell < 10 items per year, and thus Lectronz itself, not to mention anyone else (e.g., artists) who only sell a handful of items a year. What wa

I'm sorry but this is such an unhelpful knee-jerk reaction. When the outcome of such a test could literally destroy your future career, you don't think people would be motivated to deceive the interviewer? We are talking about hig

I disagree that tech interviews are bullshit. The biggest tech companies (MS, Google) have invested many dollars, and changed course at least once (remember MS's lateral thinking questions? How many screws in an airplane?) in looking f

Right, but I think everyone knows this. It's less obvious that a "fully locally run" model could pull a stunt like this. (Your OS, or your device firmware, or even your CPU could be doing the same thing.)

Getting around that external_directory check looks trivial, though. You could ask it to run, e.g., the result of decoding a base64-encoded command that writes outside the current directory, or simply the result of concatenating two strings

If there was really nothing wrong with the original phrasing about rich people, then there's also nothing wrong with GP's phrasing about poor people. The usages are exactly parallel.

Fantastic writing. I didn't want it to end. It's the warmest and loveliest defence of its core idea that I've ever come across, and likely ever will. The humour in particular -- it's disarming, pitch-perfect in making a

If you need test1's logic as setup for test2, then you already have that "linear timeline" -- for test2 all by itself. Additionally (that is, redundantly) running the same setup code "prefix" by itself in test1 does

I basically agree, but I'd also say: Every Gmail user has already accepted such a promise as sufficient.

Is this at all similar to LINQ in C#? I never used it, but I'm vaguely aware of it being a functional approach to querying an RDBMS.

That "argument" will have a lot more weight when the thing that you imply is frequently happening happens at a rate higher than zero.

I think an interesting direction for benchmarking is to take inspiration from metamorphic testing. Metamorphic testing is a way of extending property-based testing (in which you ask the test framework itself to automatically generate many r
