The recent RustFS CVE has driven some people away from RustFS, based on comments from the community. For those who had similar past experiences: Do events like this actually affect the long-term popularity and development?

As a traditional painter, I would love to see the individual pigments used, instead of dominant colors. I know this is not straightforward, but maybe doable to some degree based on the range of hue/value/saturation and context?

It's true that a single private jet is causing tons of CO2 emissions. But in the end, all consumers control the market. You can jump one link further in the chain to regions with much lower emissions. Somalia/Congo emit over 200x less CO2 per capita in comparison to the US. Do you think that's fair for them if the "regular salaried people" don't care? If responsibility always gets dismissed by pointing to someone emitting more, nothing changes.

This looks very cool. I really hope the results are not overly cherry-picked like Adobe's first version of the text-to-vector generation that only worked particularly well for the showcased art styles.

Because properly securing your systems is hard, especially if the attack surface is large. The attacker only needs to find a single weakness. Furthermore, you don't hear from all the teenagers trying to find vulnerabilities across the web, just when there's headlines.

Aside from color and translucency, an original artwork shows also the relief. It can tell much about the creation process of a painting and adds additional texture. Furthermore, some pigments were expensive and hard to work with prior to the 19th century such that artists used it very sparingly.

Further down the article, the lawsuit is cited: "As a result of Google’s material misrepresentations and other deceptive conduct, Ms. Vaca has been significantly damaged, including, but not limited to, financial losses of more than $5 Million, severe emotional and psychological distress, and the loss of the real estate business she spent most of her adult life trying to build," her lawsuit states.

So according to the article she did inverst the 4.6m.

A very valid comparison, they indeed share lots of characteristics. I also feel that adaption in real estate would have societal benefits.

The difference to real estate business lies in the fact that it is much more diverse and way harder to manage.

Domains are managed by one organization, ICANN (with respective tld management), which facilitates a policy change. We also see changes in digital space progress much faster.

There are approx. 600'000 new domain names registered over Verisign in Q3 2020 alone [1]. In the future, the significance of the problem will only grow.

I'm shocked by how many commenters here sympathasize with the domain squatting/parking business. Sure it may be a fun side-project or profitable long-term investment. But trying to make money from people who actually create value is not really the future of the web I want to see.

I always assumed that PBRT is an acronym for "Physically Based Rendering Textbook".
