I might need to look up how they work because that's basically what my next question is: how do the chunks overlap and how does that affect the probability of a file being unrecoverable? If I have a stupid simple scheme where I split a

You could almost write a `check!` macro for rust that would have the same semantics. You can obviously already write one when no `handle` exists (it'd just be `try!` or `?`), but I can't think of how you'd build up the hand

Decentralized storage is already barely economical compared to centralized storage, if it makes sense at all. While this might reduce latency, it sounds like in practice it'd multiple the redundancy of the system and make it even less

The application looks amazing. The music on the demo video makes me anxious, however.

You could infer it describing a structure of { fingerprint : pubkey for keys in etc }. Just the name 'key list' implies a list of keys.

All barriers are insurmountable UX burdens to a significant portion of users, no matter how trivial the barrier.

Use Wireguard. It is wonderful and the community is friendly. `wg-quick` is easy to use but if you need it, I believe Streisand supports automatically provisioning a wireguard setup.

Eh, it's a good message but the dystopia is a little too over the top and reduces it's efficacy at making a statement.

If they had used Mir as a test bed like Chalk is for Rust, it might have made sense.

Does an enum have any performance or consistency benefits over 1 or 3? (I discount 2 because it seems like the worst possible option.) It would seem like 1 is essentially an ad hoc enum with the same guarantees and 3 is just a bit easier to

I'd love to hear the reason for the downvotes. I'm not surprised - it is kind of radical - but I am curious why people think its a bad idea. I'm sure there are good reasons, I'm not an economist and I haven't though

If I run a lemonade stand where my lemonade is free (because I'm a nice guy) but the bridge everyone knows to use to get to my house has a toll, is it stealing to ask if there is a non-tolled bridge to get where I am?

The average/median salary for millenials is between $25-40k (the statistics I see vary significantly). I imagine that this article is basically a proxy for the poor wages millenials typically have. I'm a young millenial in a low

1. The paper isn't the product, the journal is. 2. The paper is free. 3. $31.50 isn't cheap for a digital copy of a casual read.

If corporations can get away with things individuals can't and, as someone above said > companies aren't people; they are run by people. "Monsanto" can't do anything. The people running Monsanto have agency. Then

I've said it before, I'll say it again: all companies should be Public Benefit Corporations. PBCs are companies which, in addition to having a fiduciary duty to their shareholders, may add benefitting the public to their charter.

And yet the distinction is semantically important. I hate it when economists phrase missed opportunities as losses.

I use wireguard with DNS routed to an `unbound` instance on the wireguard VPS. The VPS costs me $1/mo. The only problem I've gotten is when `unbound` crashes because it uses ~400MB of RAM to hold the blacklist and the little vps o

Duplication is a form of ECC (admittedly a bad one). If I write everything 3 times, I can correct from any single error, but I will erroneously correct on two errors. If you're limited to duplication, you'd want four copies for 1

Would Union-Find-Delete not be better than DFS? You remove a candidate point and if the all of the vertices you care about are not members of the same set you don't do that? (Assuming a copy of the UFD structure is faster than the DFS.

The lack of a forum for discussion is also a problem. (Or maybe I'm just spoiled by github.) There is one feature that I want that should be trivial to add that I don't know how to voice it. There is an AllowIPs config directive,

Imagine the economic result if we got rid of the TSA (we did fine without it before 9/11 and they don't do shit now) and created jobs in rebuilding infrastructure using that budget.

I'm a little vague on the details, but I think there are some tricks you use to narrow it down and then go spelunking. Maybe a particular variable needs to be in a page aligned struct so you only need to find a magic value at one of N

I'll tell you for free that our cookies don't use an auto incrementing id. If you have an asset that is accessed by id, it is beneficial to have a secure, reversable function so that you can prevent trivial crawling while maintain
