The bakery incident really made people wonder whether you can deny anyone and stay in business.

My big question is whether any US based companies hosted are beholden to the German government because it's a German based company.

This in turn makes everyone beholden to the EU regulations and German censorship regulations. Yeah no thanks!

I can hardly trust any of the journalism with a title like this. How about you just sue them in court for calling your story a lie?

Don't worry you'll be vilified for disliking features by the tech community because they can't not have social features everywhere.

If you share the hmac key or do private/public key signing you're able to distribute the public signing keys to your infra.

In doing so you just validate the token against the public key. You can then rotate these keys and have a list of them to validate against and age off keys which would be the last tokens expiration +1 day.

There shouldn't be any reason an open source hardware company should support something like vscode themselves.

It takes one update from vscode to break everything and your SOL.

The "average" American is obese, so I'm not sure we should be encouraging this inefficient source of protein.

How has your experience been with arango? I haven't had any major issues with it. It runs exceptionally well in kubernetes too.

Almost like they wrote a blog article about it so others could learn from it.

If it were available to all android apps I don't know why Uber would go out of their way to reimplement it. So it must not be available to all apps and exclusive to Google maps and Waze

I wish torrenting for general downloads was more popular. I had unstable internet that would make downloading anything over 100MB impossible.

Slap a torrent together of the same payload and it'd be guaranteed not to stall/error because of the network.

Are you sure? VPNs probably carry that torrent traffic with encryption.

Onion sites which carry the most illegal content on Earth also use encryption.

Your reasoning is aligned with banning encryption because in all cases where something is illegal they tend to use some level of encryption.

I've used torrents to download software so that the provider didn't need to pay bandwidth to share their software.

There are completely legal and reasonable reasons torrenting exists. They're excellent at making huge downloads possible with the more efficient bandwidth. Instead of that, we have an ecosystem of "installers" that exist purely to download massive files to install.

The headline reads like a reddit post so I'm going to assume the same still holds true.

No, while Snyk did make it hard for SEO, I changed it from Synk so that I could do more than that idea in the long run.

My goal is to create a platform for tabletop games, not just synchronize audio.

First time posting my own project anywhere.

D20Kit (previously Synk) has been my long time side project that tries to allow online tabletop players to experience the audio ambiance of a setting in sync with each other (within a 5 sec buffer).

It does this without a live audio stream and allows you to play/pause/loop/shuffle single track audio or playlists and maintains all participants hearing the same thing at the same time.

I still have a lot of work on mobile parity, but I think most of the features can be accessed from mobile. It's very niche and it's got some usability issues I need to iron out. If anyone does try it out I'd love to hear the thoughts/hate mail about it.

Apologies if you don't like having Google auth be the only option.

Typical HN response where you pick specifics but really ignore the crux of the issue. Thanks for perpetuating the stereotype. The _bay area_ (silicon valley), also generally known as "San Francisco". Yes we all know there is really San Jose, Oakland, SF, Palo Alto, as actual cities.

The specific geographic location is irrelevant to the discussion. I can make the same exact argument for housing in NYC or some other city. People want cheap housing where people currently live.

I've found that rust developers are spending far too much time rewriting other applications than writing their own apps.

Most people who attempt this effect don't have a reference CRT. They don't realize that the scan lines bleed and become fuzzy on the screen and are not perfect lines like the shader makes.

If they had bothered to read the license agreement they would know whoever generates the art owns the copyright. Since it's a pay-for action the copyright is owned by the payee.

So really they generated these and never bothered to do the research of their own question.

I couldn't care less about SF or its residents. So I didn't really invest into this story. If it's a legal state law and has the backing of the state, courts, and a federal court then go ahead.

Until it is, it's just words on paper from people who feel entitled to an area they have never owned land in.

I'm not going to be empathetic with people who want to displace others who have owned homes in an area for decades just so they can be closer to the most desired location on the west coast.

Well each process has its own state, so if you needed to sync that you'd be storing it in mnesia, ets, or an external DB. Processes can watch and get messages about other processes if something were to succeed/fail.

I'm not sure why people feel entitled to live in a certain area. Even to go as far as to tell the people who do live there that they should in their kind hearts do what we say, instead of what they want.

As American society slips from being "educated" you're more likely to see violent tendencies. We don't prioritize actual education anymore so people are not able to put to words how they feel or think around their problems.

> Easier access to a gun that you believe is untraceable leads people to be more willing to use them to commit murder.

I don't think you could reasonably say the two are cause-effect. The ease of buying a firearm is not directly related to that person using it to commit murder. Unless of course you're being purposely opaque and including defensive uses as "murder".

Do you own firearms within the state of Maryland? Every single purchase is tracked within the MD State Police (MDSP) registry, all rifles, shotguns, & pistols. Pistols are under a higher restriction and require a HQL for purchase. The HQL requires you to take classes and be approved by the MDSP. You then have a 7 day waiting period after purchase for pickup, if you're approved. After your pickup 30 days after that is the next time you can purchase a pistol.

None of those restrictions exist for weapons 16'' or longer, aka rifles & shotguns. There is a banned rifle registry for replica guns. Like you can't purchase a 50 cal in MD. These are still tracked and marked on every purchase. It's not legal purchases which are the problem so cracking down or increasing the difficulty of these doesn't directly influence illegal firearms.

However for all firearms your name is kept along with the details of the firearm at the dealer. There is a paper trail of all purchases with the MDSP. So unless everyone is filing off the serials on all components these are unlikely to be the majority of trafficked firearms. At least for purchases within MD.

Another thing to consider is that dealers around MD won't sell pistols to MD residents because the ATF would get involved with "firearm smuggling". Rifles and shotguns though are easily purchasable over state lines, for those there is no paperwork.

Assuming you're a MD resident you can drive to WV, VA, or PA and purchase a rifle and drive it back over state lines. Completely legally.

> I can only speak for Baltimore but there are people here making and selling guns made from 80% lower receivers and tiny pieces of 3d printed plastic that will make your gun fully automatic.

That's not how automatic weapons work. They're constructed different to handle the heat of automatic fire. A semi automatic weapon is going to warp and malfunction way more quickly with automatic use. Even so to make it seem like this is the critical issue ignores that binary triggers exist. There is always something that exists to circumvent the "safety" laws.

> Just last month there was a Baltimore city police officer who lived in the county caught trading guns and internal information for drugs. If police officers are doing it you can believe that regular citizens are doing it.

I'm not surprised Baltimore is a crime ridden city, hasn't the last few mayors all been convicted of bribery and other things? It's not going to change either because the government in Baltimore is a joke. They don't want to enforce the laws they already have.

It wasn't optionally installed on any Android device, look through any recently updated Android for "Exposure Notifications".

So to your point of it being installed, it already is. Being enabled is whether we trust the governments involved with that switch.

It's open source, you can't really steal open source software unless it was never "free and open source" to begin with.

Was this not apparent when every manufacturer was working on Covid tracking in the open? Were people really not aware of the technologies being employed? That technology now exists on every phone that has had any semblance of an update in the past two years. There is no privacy, you have always been and will always be completely trackable.

You can even use ultrasonic sound signatures so your phone doesn't even need to be broadcasting using bluetooth, wifi, or cell. Just the speaker alone at a pitch you cannot hear is enough to track you.

Edit: I enjoy how this gets downvoted for pointing out that technology has downsides...

Gitlab is extremely simple to run yourself. I've been doing it for 2 years at this point. What is really difficult about the operation?

I literally provided you evidence of it happening. I guess that wasn't the evidence you're looking for hence "approved thought leaders". If it doesn't come from specific sources for you it's not relevant or "evidentiary".

Go back to reddit.

Oh I absolutely agree, I think once R2 becomes GA it will be a game changer for a lot of VOD content or youtube-like platforms. Amazon, Google, and Azure are holding back an entire industry because of the price gouging they have on bandwidth.
