Especially if This Time(tm) we manage to get an open alternative running well enough for public use. I know I'm definitely going to look into ActivityPub for my social circle, and DDG is more and more credible. There's yet hope I

I must confess I realised that a couple hours after writing it. I apologise for coming across as smug and missing the point entirely. This whole "socialism==communism" thing upsets me.

You want to minimise the adversary's chance to put in place proper evacuation or countermeasures.

Well if you want to nitpick, isn't what you describe communism instead?

My partialy annotated library of ~200k items & 6M tags is nearing 1Tb disk space total with items tagged a couple hundred times each on average. I feel the mess of tables pain right now, but cannot see a more appropriate classification

I'm approaching the nested datastructure playlist problem by having playlists be nothing more than a special tag in the existing sqlite table. But then you have to reckon with explosive growth when dealing with that table, especially w

It's important to not forget what the web used to be, in order to have some context for what it's becoming (see Net Neutrality).

Your assumption that the number of countries is more important than the proportion of people absolutely doesn't make sense to me. Is 80% of countries representing 20% population more meaningful 20% countries representing 80% population

You're right but I don't follow. Do you have a point or did you just really want people to count countries in addition to relevant population numbers?

If you're doing the census of an appartment block, do you count the flats or the people in each? Same difference here.

VC-like money? The risk/reward schedule on bitcoin is not that far out of ordinary when compared to market conditions on "comparable" investments. For some generous definition of comparable.

1) You are always someone else's ignoramus 2) It's tough to draw the line on what is acceptable as "enforced opinion" and what isn't. I find the true-neutral alignment of wikipedia much more sound from a public se

You'd need to find some task that is expensive to compute, but trivial to verify to "port" current PoW methods, but the hard part is finding a task that fills this condition and is useful to actually compute. In any case, y

Honestly, tooling on windows is in the range [complicated-unusable]. Higher order abstractions and OS specific optimisations just seem to get in the way when I'm developping. I for one do not feel windows has a good story if you'r

Ok I'll rephrase. Given the events of last year (the part with message hashes and public keys changing), what gives you faith in wikileaks and Assange?
231.
by zdkl 9y ago
Whay about the change of public keys, tampering with pre-release hashes that occured during a time where no-one could reach Assange for about a month? Coincidentally during one of the larger DDOS events of the past year? I'm stacking

Why is this downvoted? Is there significant evidence to suggest wikilieaks was in fact not compromised?

I'm entirely of your opinion, but what you describe doesnnt sound like the US way of handling things. There are some initiatives in that direction from INRIA and other european groups but aside from GNU and the EFF no one is even talki

The use-case you describe as freelance writer or proper investigative journalism is the one place I expect targeted (and author curated) advertising to be able to pay the bills in the ideal market-fit theory. If as an author and "provi
