Hirom,

I wonder if that’d work, or if the Great Firewall of China already blocks it in Hong Kong

Hirom,

They had a choice between complying to censorship, or refusing to play along and if necessary stop doing business in Hong Kong.

In the past, Google Search got out of China for the same reason.

Hirom,

There are 42 RIPE Atlas probes online in Hong Kong.

Someone part of the Atlas network could check this against various probes.

Hirom,

Le coût de la transition est très inférieur aux futurs coût des dégâts causés par la dégradation de l’environnementaux.

On réduisant les moyens de la transition, on augmente la future dette.

It’s better to make it locally, than to have it shipped by plane across the world.

The french flag is a bit surprising given it’s not made in France, but it’s flattering since that means Japanese like french stuff.

Hirom,

… hackers are invited to find new ways to break into widely used software, like Safari, Adobe Flash

Flash? What year is this !?

Cars are resources intensive in general, although EVs clearly pollute less, even when taking batteries into account (lifecycle analysis), and even if electricity used to charge them isn’t renewable.

All cars company deserve some push back, but producing EVs isn’t a good reason to single out Tesla.

In this case it seems there’s another factor, which are fear for water resources due to putting too much/large factories in one place, and Elon being an asshole.

Hirom,

Qui aurait pu prédire la crise climatique ?

Former spy for China's secret police reveals operations targeting dissidents in Australia and overseas (www.abc.net.au)

The inner workings of China’s notorious secret police unit and how it hunts down dissidents living overseas – including in Australia – have been exposed by a former spy in a Four Corners investigation, raising tough questions about Australia’s national security....

Hirom,

That’s consistent with past reports of secret unauthorized PRC police stations in the USA/UK/Netherlands/Germany/Canada/….

Their ostensible purpose is to help Chinese citizens overseas with administrative issues […]

However, there are also reports of the stations being involved in “persuade to return” operations.

Hirom,

For context:

Eurovision: Greta Thunberg among thousands protesting against Israel competing in contest

Hirom,

What about users’ copyright? Would Bright Data have to obtain permission from every user to scrap data while following copyright law?

I guess this wasn’t a question raised during this lawsuit.

Hirom,

The same ToS which the judge says X cannot enforce because it conflicts with copyright law.

Hirom,

WTF Hungary?

Hirom,

They had backups at multiple locations, and lost data at multiple (Google Cloud) locations because of the account deletion.

They restored from backups stored at another provider. It may have been more devastating if they relied exclusively on google for backups. So having an “offsite backup” isn’t enough in some cases, that offsite location need to be at a different provider.

Hirom,

That would indeed be a good backup strategy, but better be specific. “Offsite” may be interpreted in different ways.

Hirom,

Having a backup at a cloud provider is fine, as long as there is at least one other backup that isn’t with this provider.

Cloud provider seems to do a good job protecting against hardware failure, but can do poorly with arbitrary account bans, and sometimes have mishaps due to configuration problems.

Whereas a DIY backup solution is often more subject to hardware problems (disk failure, fire, flooding, theft, …), but there’s no risk of account problem.

A mix is fine to protect against different kind of issues.

Hirom,

They should look into exponential backoff

Hirom,

Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make

Lord Farquaad

Hirom,

I’m going to assume lack of volonteers.

Hirom,

That’s unfortunate for people using it, but a good thing in the long run.

Cryptocurrencies that use proof-of-work, and haven’t already migrated to less resource-intensive schemes, are doing more harm than good.

Hirom,

That make total sense. Let’s just give up and accumulate a few more tokens while the world burns.

Hirom,

Tell us about the options.

Literally anything but proof of work: taler, proof of stake, proof of weight, fiat currency, gold coins, pokemon cards…

These all have advantages and disadvantages, it depends on what users prioritize: polluting less, privacy, decentralisation, convenience, …

Hirom,

Arkane is a gem, don’t close it damnit
