One thing to keep in mind is the context you're observing this in. Imagine instead, someone makes a post on https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/ about how they connected some glass panels together and shipped them i

It's possible to make it work, you just need a little incentivisation. Private trackers are extremely durable and performant, and their secret sauce is just giving users a reputation to uphold.

As a side note regarding the money: My understanding is they had formed a studio to make a deep faked movie some time ~2019? I think? But covid rolled around and the studio dissolved. They took advantage of the contacts and assets they had

It feels a little onerous for me to lay out the a privacy advocates argument from first principles. I'd presume if umvi had rejected the groundwork reasons for privacy, they would have made a comment more like: "What bad thing are

Yes. And why do you think I'm not upset about that dataset?

by oehpr 6y ago
A piece of data on its own is usually pretty harmless, a gigantic database that is organized, categorized, and distributed, is potentially very harmful. And it's a smooth gradient between them. An example of data that is harmless on it

I feel like, ideally, such a system of incentivizing novel ideas and information should be decentralized. Bug bounties, for example, is a decentralized form of incentivizing public works.

I don't agree that's a non sequitur. We typically sell "access" to the idea, even though the supply of access is infinite. If you want to account for human labor and cost, then you're describing novel ideas, not &qu

Agreed. This argument about DRM and software rights and redistribution finds its roots in the failure of markets to distribute products that have infinite supply once they are created. Call it an "Idea Product". Information can on

I think that it's not that there is no norms, it's that there's no point in having norms. These attack ads are conducted by proxies, not the interested parties themselves. It takes more energy to go after them then it takes f

Out of curiosity how long did you have it for? Because voting reform can not fix the damage of a legacy of FPTP the moment it is instituted, it's going to take 4 or 5 elections before 1. the public figures out how it works 2. parties s

It deeply frustrates me to see essays like this written without saying in big bold words at the top "Id take almost anything over fptp" People not deeply familiar with the voting system world see this stuff and think to themselves

Hey this is great! I've been looking for a decent poll site like this! Some things I would like: Could you randomize the initial order to avoid donkey votes? I'd like it if there was an option to allow invited participants to add

That was the intent of the bloom filter. Configured properly it would actively filter out the need to endlessly send the server requests like "Hey, have anything for this hash?" However I suppose that if the site does have comme

Well... I mean really I was not trying to say Gab was innocent. I really didn't know until others provided some helpful context. I was speaking more to the original topic of this HN submission. I never know how to handle topic shifts i

nope, you'd simply distribute a bloom filter to everyone, and then you could transmit hashed urls. you could easily make this privacy safe.

Fair. By my own admission, I don't know much about gab. I think the first time I ever heard about it was when Firefox banned Dissenter from their addons. Dissenter to me was a genius idea that has an ugly userbase. I'd love to hav

I've got to finish going through The Culture series. I thought it was bold stroke to write a book series about a future where humans are domesticated by their own AI.

I'm not deeply versed in Gab's history... But lets hypothetically say that Gab was not created for that purpose, but for precisely the purpose it claims it was created for: To be an open platform for free speech, no censorship. Wo
