This separates who sees what. Cloudflare (or any OHTTP gateway) sees who talks to who, but can't see the content. The service sees the content but not who you are/your IP.

You can imagine a lot of threat models where who you talk to isn't sensitive, nor is "someone talked to them about X" but knowing both facts is a risk.

Was this an out of sample test of the router or was it trained on these specific use cases/eval suites?

Imagine giving birth to alien intelligence and the best thing you can think to do with it is advertise for laundry detergent and try to displace workers.

We have put the least imaginative people alive in charge of the world.

I worry the answer to "new surplus. who will it go to?" is a foregone conclusion. the surplus is the most surveillable technology imaginable.

The first sentence isn't even a sentence.

"the law" is the fulcrum this turns on.

if you wrong your employer, for example by failing to do your job well, you are not a criminal to be prosecuted by the state. you may well deserve to lose that job though.

here, wronging your employer is considered a criminal act.

I'd be eager to know if these layoffs are cover for firing "inconvenient" employees. Google's fired Timnit Gebru, labor organizers, and recently folks who protested a contract with the Israeli Defense Forces. It's kind of their thing at this point.

What's wild is that a lot of that equipment (or barely newer versions) is still standard fare at flight schools. It's possible to get a fancy glass panel if you look. But you'll probably still fly a 172.

It'd be nice if the regulations would make designing clean sheet airframes a viable business again.

I haven't switched. I still mostly do software engineering. But I did burn out on my job in a toxic workplace and quit with nothing quite so formal as a plan.

Before picking up more software work ~6mo later, I got certified as an EMT and started volunteering on the ambulance at a local service. It has been a really great choice. I work with excellent people in a job very different from my remote software one. I wouldn't call it manual labor by any stretch, but it has a very different physicality and interpersonal nature than engineering that makes it very rewarding for me.

There's no reason on paper to spend whole days volunteering doing something you're not the best at. Doesn't matter.

Decentralized Storage Researcher | Open Archive | Remote, Contract, FT, 100k/yr

OpenArchive helps human rights defenders to document and archive abuses. Our app, Save, empowers those capturing important mobile media to archive it securely. We plan to incorporate decentralized storage technologies into our portfolio of supported backends in the next year.

We want your help in deciding exactly which decentralized storage solution (e.g. IPFS, Filecoin, bittorrent...) we adopt and how to do it best.

This is a hard problem requiring the technical expertise to assess existing and emerging technologies beyond the "marketing hype" and to square what these offer with the needs of real people in unforgiving situations. Much of what you'll learn and document is interesting to a broad audience and we expect you to engage with the community at large via conferences, blogs, or articles.

Ideal candidates are great communicators who can share examples of their past research (posts, articles, etc.). We prefer folks with a related graduate degree and are open to hiring postdocs or funding academic research.
