When I was in college, I'd come up with a similar concept for creating addresses for the developing world. For those that don't know, most of the world actually doesn't have any address and the governments have no plans in place to solve this.

Basically have a third party DNS like company and all it would do would be digital addressing. Since we would also deliver the mail, there was the added benefit of not sharing your actual address, temporarily sharing it, having alternatives based on day, kind etc and potentially just sharing your phone number as your address etc etc

Looking back, this would've been a great company but one that almost no investor would fund

This was a great read. At this point, any org should assume on-device models are public

> only in singapore is traffic really expensive at $8/TB.

Expensive by Hetzner standards but still cheap by cloud standards, egress from Singapore EC2 instances is between $80 and $120 per TB for example.

$80!! EC2 is a scam

When I was younger around the 2000s, there was a movement that was called "because I can" or something like that. This reminds me of that

First time I've heard about them. I hope this helps them get a bigger donation pool and support from similarly minded organizations

Ok, but why isn't this open source? If it only creates some processes that don't do anything, there's nothing to hide, really

this +100 I can't just let some random exe run on my machine with nothing but claims from the author.

In my head, I'm also wondering why a botnet wouldn't just want to take over such a machine because they know for sure that it's a scarecrow. But security by obscurity is no way to instill trust here

Wow! Apple does Apple again. Just carved the exception to the EU market. I was hoping these pushes would stir changes across the globe but I guess the market size is too big especially the US market

tr33house · 2 years ago
Surprisingly enough, I actually _want_ mine turned on. I normally look through when I found a particular site and just can't remember what it was but vaguely remember the dates or some other information about them. I'm happy Google is even sharing these controls but I would assume anything that's deleted here is a soft delete on their system

This is materially impacting us. We were just about to launch a feature and have a call with customers in a few minutes :cry: The release is blocked on deploy (managed by GH Actions) so I'm literally doing a build and eventually k8s deploy from my machine
