Using TEEs to bind key release to specific workload code rather than relying on the kubernetes control plane

this is cool! I discovered the hard way that rust doesn't do reproducible builds, so this is a nice way round it

I don't think it's unfortunate - in principle, return on investment today can achieve greater humanitarian impact tomorrow vs humanitarian impact today.

Of course, this creates a perverse situation where choosing humanitarian impact today over investment is always irrational, but this is the fundamental tension in charity vs investment, and aside from relying on governments and guilt, I'm not sure we have discovered a great model to solve it

So are you suggesting that every time an employee commits a crime, CEOs should go to jail alongside them?

Every time a politician commits an offence the president/prime minister should go to prison?

Every time a pupil breaks the law, the principal of the school should go to prison?

I'd suggest the reason 'no on else seems to have learned' it is because it's a ridiculous and impractical idea. Should CEOs (etc) be punished if they knowingly aid and abet crime and/or cover it up? Sure, I think most people are on board with that.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” - C.S. Lewis

It's not mentioned here, but at some point there were studies suggesting that alternating heat and cold gave improved recovery over cold (ofc now we know that cold is debunked, the question is whether heat and cold improves recovery over doing nothing or adding heat)

About Randamu:

We are a lean, well-funded startup focused on web3 infrastructure. Our flagship project, drand, provides publicly verifiable randomness that powers Filecoin consensus among other blockchains and applications.

Our mission is to integrate drand into as many blockchain ecosystems as possible and deliver new threshold cryptosystems into production for use cases such as committee encryption and decryption, key management, MEV prevention and oracles.

We're all professionals with long breadth of experience in web3, big tech, finance and cybersecurity.

We enjoy presenting at conferences, attending hacker camps and making espresso in weird and wonderful ways.

We are a remote-first culture, spread across EU and US time zones. As a result, we travel quite regularly.

I went to see a recent swiss comedy film - "Bon schuur Ticino" - and it was hilarious. Granted, a lot of the humour might go over the heads of people who haven't lived in Switzerland, but there's definitely comedy

Randamu | Solidity Engineer | 100% Remote | $200k

Randamu is a well-funded startup building novel network infrastructure using threshold cryptography. We steward the drand open source project¹, a randomness beacon that serves hundreds of millions of requests per month.

We're seeking a solidity engineer to help us integrate our randomness beacon into more blockchain ecosystems (drand is currently a core part of Filecoin), as well as ship an entirely new threshold decryption network.

The team is small, so the ideal candidate would also have some frontend or backend engineering experience and have a good knowledge of cryptography. The engineering team is in Europe, so being close to european timezones would be a plus, but not a dealbreaker.

We offer unlimited time off, an annual conference budget, a hardware budget and meet occasionally in new cities to hang out.

I've also never had particular problems making connections over chat (I'm not old and not young); particularly in companies where I've had a chance to meet people in person even once or twice, I've found online communication no problem at all

Dan Boneh is great - his lecture series on Youtube is wonderful.

A book I enjoyed a lot, that straddles the line between approachable and theoretical with a focus on implementation, is Serious Cryptography by Jean-Philippe Aumasson (one of the people behind blake2/3, amongst other things): https://nostarch.com/seriouscrypto

wow thanks for this! worked a charm

I guess the classic reaction to any design change is 'I hate this'... but damn I hate the slack redesign :< I can't see a quick overview of all my workspaces with notifications and have to hover with the mouse to see them - even though most of the rest of slack is designed to be used keyboard-only!

There are a few client options; the most widely used one (to my knowledge) is https://github.com/ipfs/kubo for CLI. There's also a desktop client that's pretty nice: https://docs.ipfs.tech/install/ipfs-desktop/

I think https://fission.codes/ecosystem/wnfs/ might do what you want (though I don't know about viewing photos in browser etc). Alternatively, IPFS supports unixFS and a mutable filesystem through the desktop client if you are happy to host them on your own machine (it acts like a unix dir)

edit: ah sorry, I see you actually asked for a private network. You could possibly look into https://ipfscluster.io/, though it might be a little heavyweight for what you're looking for

It's not a necessity, but also understandable that if you had that experience yourself you might feel you've failed as a parent if you can't provide that same experience (or better) for your child.

Of course in reality that's not true.

I've found wine good enough to run nearly any windows programme I want to use; the only exception is VR games, but I've found myself just not playing VR as a result

Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Cyprus

the page hangs for me with a bunch of CORS errors in the console - am I the only one?

well perhaps all the old folk I know are the outliers - nearly all the pensioners I know have been prescribed a steroid once they get an illness

edit: perhaps that isn't strictly TRT though - ianad

Afaiu, in the UK many (most?) males over 55 get prescribed TRT. Male mortality tracks quite closely with muscle wastage, so it makes a lot of sense.

Sure - the next corporate ship will torch VC money until they can't, they'll go user hostile then the next corporate ship will have received VC money to torch to fill the void

>I have never read or heard anything that suggests either found it terribly useful

Allegedly, Mozart transcribed Allegri's Miserere after hearing it performed once in the Vatican: https://www.classicfm.com/composers/mozart/guides/mozart-all....

Perhaps apocryphal, but sounds pretty useful to me.

I'm amazed that we're still entertaining banning everything in 2023.

The same song and dance was made of TV 30-50 years ago, keeping kids off the internet 15 years ago, and I'm sure for keeping kids off AI in a few years time.

The cat is out of the bag, and trying to force it back in the bag is going to be no better for kids

attacked is a widely used synonym for criticised

>The article is frustrating because it puts the blame onto the listener

That wasn't the impression I got from the article - I think the title was a tongue in cheek way of saying quite the opposite: telling people isn't enough, it's your job as the explainer to guide people through the full path to understanding.

That's more or less what you described in the rest of your post, so I sense you're in concordance with the author

Reliability, consistency, convenience, laziness. I know by and large if something goes wrong, Galaxus will just refund me no questions asked. Having tried some other retailers (that I found on toppreise)... that was not always the case

>They don't have the scale to sway large parts of the public opinion

According to some infographic in a thread on HN yesterday, reddit is currently the most viewed site in the US, Australia and a few other countries, so it seems like it could have a sway on large parts of public opinion

A similar scheme we use in drand is this: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/225722958_Secure_Di...

Of course fully anecdotal, but my experiences with ryanair have been mostly fine - the planes are shit and they try and sell you bollocks on board but they run on time and it all kinda works. Easyjet on the other hand... mamma mia, getting a refund out of them is a gauntlet, and at my local airport >50% (!!!!) of easyjet flights are delayed or cancelled.
