How did that happen?

“hanging with the bad crow"

That’s my favorite Sonic mission.

The vector from one point to another in space has both a distance (magnitude) and a direction. Labeling the side with i only really makes sense if you say we’re looking at a vector of “i units that way”, and not at an assertion that these two points are a directionless i units apart. Then you’d have to break out the complex norms somebody mentioned.

This is clearly meant to be a right triangle. And the distances between the points are the same (because the squares of the coordinate differences are the same), just the directions are different.

If you move 1 unit forward, turn the correct 90 degrees, and then move i units forward, you will end up back where you started.

You would prove something like “I possess a private key that matches a public key that is in this list of public keys belonging to people at least X years old”. But without revealing which item in the list is the specific one for you. Which is the zero knowledge proofs’ cool trick.

Right now.

But everybody is also moving into their castle. Many for free.

They are not allowed to let people do that unless they have an argument that, somehow, this makes money for the owners of Cloudflare. Maybe that’s in the form of good publicity. Maybe they’re hoping to set up some tollbooths at the castle gate, once enough people are inside and the other options have withered for lack of customers.

The crack might not actually be protected by copyright, unless there’s substantial new code added.

Call your lawyer and sue the shit out of those raccoons. I hear they’re rich.

Another recommendation for Localsend. But it’s cool that Snapdrop manages to do almost the same thing and does it in the browser. I can definitely see where it would be useful.

What’s the point of self-hosting Snapdrop though? Does it need a discovery server in there for WebRTC? Or does this just end up serving the same static files but now from a local server?

Maybe just about how it is genuinely perfectly balanced with no exploits 🫖

Bethesda has really gone downhill since the acquisition. If it’s not loaded with bugs, exploits, and glitches, is it even a Bethesda game anymore?

We seem to have skipped 6?

A lot of this sort of A/B testing has the character of a psychology experiment. If it were conducted by a reputable research lab, it would have to pass an instituational review board who would weigh in on whether it was an ethical experiment, and among other things research subjects would always have the right to decline to participate in the experiment.

But when private companies do it, nobody holds them to the same standard of ethics in their human experimentation. But clearly people’s right not to be subject to psychological experiments without their consent is being violated.

Behold, the power of APIs.

Oh wait.

I think it should become supported, because as a user I would like to browse these archives. I’m not only interested in new content when I subscribe to a community.

I love that this thread is “WITH FACTS”! Hate it when I go to a thread and there’s no facts there.

So proud to welcome the Super Dimension Fortress into this bold new era of cyberspace.
