Probably a unpopular view / idea. But if we just took the tabo out of being nude... It would resolve the issue 2 fold, people would not be afraid of being seen nude, and the drive for people wanting to take pictures of people nude woul

Please go read my comment again. I chose my words carefully not to attack the author. But to question the community in valuing a very specific type of social engineering that is occuring in the tech industry. I am positive that Stephanie Hu

First off, all text available seems to indicate Basis is a WIP. Everything talks about what it will be, or how it would work, and if GPU manufacturers did X. Furthermore Basis seems based off the open source work of Richard Geldreich. The c

Is this the new trend? Somebody relatively new to the tech industry who seems to have time to write tons of "expert opinions"? I have seen more and more of these sorts of articles coming on HN, and other tech orentend places on th

This was a good read, but now the colors are all messed up. Nothing looks normal after looking at that green background for so long...

I am just going to point out how much slack I got 20 years ago -- oh god it was 20 years ago -- from all my friends for running OpenBSD because I thought PF was amazing, also their release art is bad ass too. I think it is odd that of latel

Well sort of. The sender will in a lot (most) of cases care, its the protocol (UDP) that has no automatic checking, or reporting. This sort of stuff is left up to the programmer. The power of UDP allows the sender to have more control on th

All I know is the fonts on HN now look weak and puny compared to the the fonts used in the blog. I don't mean this as a joke, I am seriously having issues looking at HN fonts after reading the blog. Even my emacs fonts are broken to me

Wait a fee is imposed? I get why I think but if your posting of prior art proves to be true then you should have your fee refunded.

Yeah, I did not mean to imply you needed a pager, just something to receive the output, a pager is just one choice. I guess the program implemented the tty method you could always alias your stuff to something like blush="/bin&#

Piping the output does not guarantee the removal of the color codes. This is yet another standard some programs have chosen to implement. The program checks if the output is a tty, if it is not a tty it will drop color information as it is

by mbrumlow 8y ago
Yeah that seems to be what he wants! He can then selectively enable color on the programs he wants by simply unsettling the NO_COLOR variable before execution of the program.

I don't think there is a massive amount of software required. The linked module above is just over 2k lines and compiles to around ~250kb in size. Clearly not all of those things you mentioned. All you need is the a implementation of t

I thought the point was that it became trusted code as it was transpiled into WA, due to all the checks and what not that could be applied. So as you said a bug in the system would be a kernel exploit. How would this be any different than a

I get that, but the problem is the way data is stored today it is stored on a single volume. That is many customers are stored on a single volume. When backed up there is normally one key per volume. I guess the real issue is who will be re

by mbrumlow 8y ago
The backups are encrypted, but the there is no way for the backup software to know one client's data from the other. Its block based, so all it sees is a volume. Post hosting providers, or anybody really don't create new volumes f

I can tell you that GDPR is going to cause issues with block based backups. Many hosting providers don't separate customers on different block devices. When you back up a block device you have snapshots that have many different organiz

Noo! Not the worming! I meant to type warming. Again, no posting before coffee next time! Although a worming might be fun. Trimmers anybody?

From my understanding when things burn hot enough -- which I think the mantel burns hot enough -- this sort of thing is not that big of an issue. Also, I am not entirely sure this would raise the temperatures of something so massive. In any

That sounds like a perfect place doe waste. Just pump it I to the mantle. Put this stuff back in the ground where it belongs. Better than in out air or floating around our water.

Every once in a while there is a episode of Criminal Minds that does this. Well sort of. Like I don't think anybody could ever get behind what the "bad" guy is doing, but you can at last understand and then feel sorry for the

While yeah, those things are super had to make I just could not help to think of how pathetic it looked compared to Boston Dynamic's Spot Mini.

I am not trying to start a argument but it is a bit sad that these things are called "hacks", in the article, and by others. Some would call it math. But I guess that shows you the state of our art.

Well I was agreeing, but now the self driving cars have been shown...

I can see that point now. Yes, maybe how our observed physics and universe depends on constant time illusion. Yes, the problem of how to test such things. That is why it is so fun to think about it. For all we know between the seconds a tri

When I was typing that I was thinking the hypothetical observer. I don't think there can actually be one with respect to actual time. But to be able to think about how maybe it does work you have to think as though there was a an abili

I don't think we have any proof that time is steady. It may just appear as steady. Much like clock based games way back when. You could speed up or slow down the clock rate and the game would be run the same. Only a external observer o
