Also, doesn't them having your medical records subject them to laws like HIPAA? I would think so even if they aren't a medical institution.
The FCC is literally powerless nowadays for all intents and purposes. They've abrogated so much of their authority to the states now that they might as well be eliminated. What little authority that remains with it is…
The fundamental problem with even the kind of mitigation you suggest is that it just doesn't work. You would need to build some kind of completely dynamic authorization system that could figure out the context of…
Starlink is already over-congested and physics says that it is not possible to scale it up to serve 100000000 subscribers let alone 5-6 billion or more. We would need some kind of physics breakthrough for that to scale…
IMO they're fantastic. You can write out a bit layout from a CPU's manual fro example and you can just use whatever bit width the manual specifies, and the compiler takes care of figuring out all the underlying…
Problem with Scaleway (for me) is physics. I get 200ms (at minimum) roundtrip latency to any of their EU servers (and for their dedicated offerings that can boot custom Linux distros that's pretty much all I have access…
Given that even Wikipedia effectively restates what he says, I'm pretty sure he's correct here: > Ultimately, whether it is legal in the United States to falsely shout "fire" in a theater depends on the circumstances in…
Except that shouting fire in a crowded theater isn't actually a crime at all and you can't be prosecuted for it (doing so would violate your first amendment rights). You can be at most banned from the theater. However,…
I... Think you completely missed the point, which is that each and every method you enumerated is a brute-force tactic.
I really have wanted to do this but Fossil lacks MFA, OIDC, and of course CI/CD. Maybe there's a way to get all three in it but Idk. I know for OIDC you could in theory just use a reverse proxy to do it but then you…
What's the downvote for? Does someone really dislike Incus that bad?
Yep... And just think: this is what AI boosters want us to do.
Agreed, that's a huge turn off for me, and I thought this would genuinely be fascinating. I'm not a physics expert but I love reading about interesting things like this, but I can't stand this surface-level "well I in…
I primarily use Incus for all container stuff, not Docker. Is problematic if I want to e.g. use a docker-compose file, but I (think) it protects against these things because incus allows me to create a vm and not a…
I mean... It may be that most of the things I run aren't really scrape-able. I run Matrix (which requires authentication), an XWiki instance, Zulip, Terraria, Forgejo, Nextcloud, a Mastodon server... Most of those…
If only there was a language which allowed one to express instructions for a computer to execute which was nearly unambiguous, precise, deterministic, and containerized such that the computer would do exactly what you…
That's really weird. My experience is quite different: I have several subdomains and all of them have TLS certs and I haven't (yet) seen this (thankfully). Either that, or my server is masking it. The weird thing is…
Wait really? I'm not really sure what to think and I posted before I saw this... I wonder why the limit is so low?
Ouch, looks like the HN hug of death struck again. Gives me error 429.
Has anyone pointed an AI scraper at your server at all? Unless your website appears in search engine listings I don't think the AI scrapers will slam it. My server has never been hit by them but my server is also…
The problem is what is the alternative? I'm (not) defending them or this practice by any measure, but we all know what happens if you just open your site up without these, especially with AI bots which hammer servers…
I mean my idea isn't the only one in that solution space. My reasoning was to ensure that the government actually reviewed the patent and ensured it was valid instead of rubber stamping it. Or, even better, the filer of…
It may always happen but it would happen less if we updated patent laws to fine people who filed invalid patents or enforced some kind of similar punishment. If you file a patent, it's up to you to verify that your…
And how long will it take before someone implements this standard and gets sued because Adobe or Dolby or whoever wanted to get slapped down? My knowledge may be out of date but if this is as "open" as AV1, I'm very…
> That’s not a Carte Blanche that forbids the government from everything. I never said it was. Yes, commercial speech has diminished protections, but it is not annulled. It is still protected to a degree, even if less…
