I disagree but only in part.

I agree with you that having a service 100% free with 0 compromise is not possible, well, it is possible but someone is paying somewhere (see below)

I disagree that the European union is throwing rules that makes no sense. Privacy should be the default, and if your business is not viable without tracking, perhaps it should not exist.

here is 2 examples of free services I am using daily :

signal : https://moneymodels.org/business-models/how-does-signal-make... (I donated)

mastodon : backed by https://sdf.org/ (I have not donated but wish to do so)

I believe that a more "socialist" approach is possible (pay if you can model so everyone can use the service regardless of their income) It will not scale to the size of facebook, but irc, mastodon and matrix.org already shows that federation works (not without pain).

The startup ecosystem based on advertising money may suffer, but I think this just lead to a better internet in the long run.

I found the latest powerpoint in my emails instead of the sharepoint, can confirm, borderline criminal.

I do.

an example that comes to mind : find me in the RFC where it is stated that blocking residential ips is ok. (google does this, so not compliant to original standard)

I would also add (but this is not email per se) : no adoption for GPG/PGP this makes your cryptographic signature a bare textfile attachement.

both microsoft and gmail spam filter = blackbox.

thanks, started using vim full time and I had no idea about # or *

was always searching with / and "n"

I understand why they exist, but they should be opt-in in my opinion.

example #1 : a teenager starting his first job should not have his data shared by default (it is useless for him and increase(I think) the risk that his identity gets stolen)

example #2 : when you go to a lender, he could say, yeah, we check with equifax, maybe you want to opt-in with them.

The fact that they are unavoidable are the problem in my opinion. It creates a kind of monopoly. If it was opt-in, maybe we would see more alternatives companies offering the same kind of service with better security and customer service.

P.S : There is an error in my file and I never bother to fix it, I never lived there, it is clearly a fraud attempt and this is their error, not mine to fix.

P.P.S : not an expert on the topic and maybe I am missing out on important details

Stop thinking about starting and start. (from your other comments, you don't look exhausted)

I just switched to this setup now... Before, I was using kate (which is very nice) but I switched exactly for the reason you've mentioned. terminal and editor in the same place.

on linux, kde/kate is pretty good... I switched back to full tmux+vim lately to get even better with vim, but I find that kate is the perfect mix between an ide and a terminal based editor. makes me think of notepad++ with a few extra goodies (files on the left, terminal below etc...)

I am unsure... looking at pictures of iran in 1970 and they look quite happy being progressive back then. I could easily believe that people want to get back to to a similar lifestyle.

also see the movies : "my teheran for sale" and "Persepolis"

as much as I hate USA foreign policy, it is also possible that Iranians want peace and freedom outside of foreign interests.

not everything is black and white.

just spun 2 cx21 servers with hetzner (20TB bandwidth + 1€ per extra TB)

thanks!

yes, I will change provider... paying for egress data on something that is meant for outbound connections is a bad idea...

thanks... I revised the simulator, and indeed, I could have racked a serious bill 1-4k

I spun a c3.large for the cause and email the person.

any gotchas I should worry about? (the aws calculator gives me 76.65$ USD / month)

I want to help but I am by no mean rich... don't want a crazy AWS bill...

just installed it in lxc without docker... works like a charm.

sorry to hear that. do you think ageism have something to do with it or no? (generalist in my early 40's here similar skillset sprinkled with cloud stuff)

Seconded. People go to the TOS, arguing about what constitute hosting etc.

I don't believe in cloudflare principles either. Seems like they only grew "responsible" when it attracted negative public attention in the last days/weeks.

this looks like PR, damage/image control to me.

we do not have a good solution for partial censorship on the internet right now (always the same issues, who can decide to take out a website who implement it, due process, vpn moderation etc)

for me, having principles regarding content removal at this point is pretty much black and white, either you are totally against censorship (without due process), or you are ok with it.

Cloudflare actions denote they don't hold any of the principles above even if they know all about the selective content removal complexities.

P.S: Interrestingly, the Department of Homeland Security seems to be able to seize various domains quite easily.

what I was saying is, let's hop on a vpn and put a bit of humanity in their venom

wow, so many comments that leads nowhere (law/technical/etc)... what about a counterprotest? Like bigots voicing their opinions on a street corner would attract.

I assume everyone here have a VPN...

would be fun to post some trans positive messages on their rotten kiwi farm.

I know every comments on HN should bring something to the discussion, but there is nothing to add here. 100% agree, US should have been sanctioned for the invasion of Iraq (and much more).

grade on explaning the code and not the code itself?

Someone who can explain some code understood it (or memorized the explanations)

from an academic point of view, it is not that bad. even for the people in the "memorized" category, they memorized the explanation... brings them quite close to understanding IMO

this topic came up a few times on hacker news

I will add this link here

If I read this right :

step 1 : create an actor ; let's say ACTOR1

step 2 : create multiple actors (bots etc) let's say ACTOR[A-Z] to raise the reputation of ACTOR1

step 3 : use all the Rating Token Balance (R) of ACTOR[A-Z] to give reputation (S) to ACTOR1

step4 : ACTOR1 now have a good reputation on the blockchain

step5 : ???

step6 : back to nickserv on irc with known nicknames to find someone with good reputation

EDIT : I missed the "Note they can only acquire reputation by being good Actors in the eyes of already-good Actors" but I am curious to see how this could not be rigged by a algorithm

shameless plug, I made an ipcalc6 in rust that does it (with colors)

For the roads, I know it is totally on our own. This is why I put it in the "global" section... As soon as you get in Ontario, roads gets better. Healthcare was also in the global section. I know about péréquation and that Québec is a net receiver too. The "global" section is just sad state of affairs with no pro/cons separatism points.

The 2 level of corruption that I refer too is probably just the sponsorship scandal that left me a bitter taste of how my federal tax dollars were spent.

For the language though, I am not sure. Even Air Canada got fined a few times because they did not respect bilingualism.

Being a Québecois, I am divided on this issue. To heavily summarize :

Pro :

- Only one level of corruption instead of two to keep in check.

- A (sometime too zealous) protection of the language.

Against :

- Less international political weight

- Companies forced to to business in french by law might gtfo since it incur costs

- Weak military power (would we stay in NATO?)

Globally :

Our roads are already crap. Healthcare is free but your experience in quality of service might vary. We already selling our natural resources like there is no tomorrow and we store nuclear waste here too.

give wsl2 a shot... I use it for most of my work on windows... (that + windows terminal)

i'll be enjoying my city life, thanks :)
