cause Switzerland have more population density and surprise, and smaller territory. Basically, lower infrastructure cost to deploy higher bandwidth backbone.

and the point of entire post was about any SSO is bad. At that point any password manager (including on-premise bitwarden, cause that is still single credential for everything) is bad, you should memorize randomly generated 64 digit password and never forget it.

"Minecraft: Java Edition" has been obfuscated since the release. < Classic Microsoft move.

No, It was obfuscated since around 1.8 when you (Microsoft) buy up Mojang Studios. before that? meh, It wasn't. That's the main reason why JE has broader mod ecosystem from the start., result being 1.7.2 being the one of the most active modded versions since most of them can't get passed to around 1.8.

The motive behind this is probably due to them finding out people can not get their mods/server software updated in-time (due to extra work required) and this leading people being really reluctant to update their versions.

Anti-american party doing casual "america bad" speeches huh. Btw, its their fault for not filing proper VISAs. I don't get why there is all the nation-wide fiasco about LG Energy Solution incorrectly filing VISAs and asking government for help for their screw ups.

*Note for anyone on Hackernews: hani is well-known as left-wing news outlet in Korea. Think about CNN, and take with grain of salt.

Congratulations, You just reinvented age/identity verification in South Korea!

Now you are one step closer for creating government-id based tracking landscape just like in S.Korea

Well, some bots even spoof User-Agents, requesting tons of requests without proper rate-limiting (looking at you, ByteSpider)

No fair plays done by people, even before the LLMs, so we get the PoW challenge on everywhere.

And what is that conclusion? since Adblockers are used by anywhere, it is OK to corporates not to license them directly and just yank them and put it into curation service? especially without ads? that's a licensing issue. the author allowed you to view the article if you provide them monetary support (i.e. ads), they didn't allow you to reproduce and republish the work by default.

also calling browser itself as reproducing? Yes, the data might be copied in memory (but I wouldn't call it as reproducing material, more like transfer from the server to another), but redistribution is the main point here.

It's like saying well, "the part of the variable is replicated to register from the L2 cache, so whole file on DRAM can be authorized to reproduce", Your point of calling "it's reproducing and should not be reproduced in first place" can't be prevented unless you bring non-turing computers that doesn't use active memory.

tl;dr: If you are not directly affecting the "sales" of the product, you are good to go. But It seems perplexity did, and (as they might call it) directly trying to compete as a news source

Personally, About their news service, Their news summarization is kinda misleading with AI hallucination in some places.

no. its BOTH attribution AND license violation.

Also they are the company which decided to ditch CANbus on their cars. This protocol itself is already a clown.

Was a "joke" since Elon being a clown on "the specific platform". But this design is absurd since "there is already profound high-bandwidth low-latency packet-based protocol for inter-chip networking (PCI-e)" and "This is terrible to run on conventional Ethernet/II infrastructure due to lack of hardware acceleration support due to lack of checksum/etc. offloading support".

I really think there is no performance enhancement, heck even worse performance when it is being used on data center deployment until they decided to design their own switch on everything. and considering everything and the packet header is being about the size of about UDP, It seems there is no advantage of using it instead of UDP with Broadcast IP addr., Maybe in their hopes and dreams, Broadcom or other chip vendors might support their ethertype but It will be further in the future.

If this is designed to pipe data directly into silicon, allow me to introduce "PCI-e". Has similar packet-based networking, designed to be latency tolerant (but supports high bandwidth/low latency). and has similar addressing policy.

Also there is nothing you can see on the ethernet frame that support and achieve low-latency and high-bandwidth. even this is designed for silicon, this is just a PCI-e with 6-byte addressing, but way worse compatibility.

If then they really needed to ditch Ethernet/II entirely. If they really wanted to do stuff, They should've built on top of UDP. The "QUIC" even did this (which is terrible for inline flow-control due to something useful for analysis being inside of encrypted part), and It's gonna be slower due to lack of hardware acceleration.

They ditched wrong thing and decided to replace with even worse software implementation that TCP/UDP already provides., and due to lack of infrastructural support, This will almost certainly have worse performance while doing exactly same job.

My point was It is "worse than QUIC". What I really wanted to say was even "QUIC" (the garbo protocol decided to "encrypt" flow-control stuff) did that and decided to go on a UDP
