But that may be where most of the revenue comes from

Then why are they serving 93% of their customers, especially when there is low overlap between those users? 90% of the american feed was american tiktoks.

Only CBI countries on that list are Grenada (200k+) & Turkey (400k), and USCIS put out a rule specifically for that situation, with additional requirements. From: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary...

> In addition, for those individuals who obtained treaty country nationality through a financial investment, USCIS may require additional documentation to show that the applicant has been domiciled in the treaty country indicated in the application for a continuous period of at least 3 years at any point before applying for E-1 or E-2 classification.

Plus E-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa, so it doesn't give you any kind of special pathway to green card. Might as well apply for an EBx at the outset instead of fiddling with an E-2 visa.


You're missing several. Montenegro and Macedonia are definitely available, and I think also Panama.

> Might as well apply for an EBx at the outset instead of fiddling with an E-2 visa.

EB-5 has pre-country quotas, and for some countries the wait can be quite long (for China it's around 10 years). It also is veeerrrryyyyyy slow, even with the initial form processing taking _years_.


You're right on North Macedonia (which again needs $200k, so terrible value for the $ hence the low takers) but wrong on others. Montenegro suspended its CBI program and Panama never had one, only a residence visa which then you use to naturalize after 5 years (plus it technically doesn't permit dual citizenship although enforcement seems non-existent)

For EB-5, China and India have a waitlist but that's only in the 'unreserved' category. There are new EB-5 categories now that both reduce the investment amount required and processing can be done in a couple months now. If one really wants to immigrate and has the money, EB-5 is still the best choice by far.


I don't think so. Most of the web is behind a login and/or unlinkable. So you're left with 'open web'. This part is much smaller. So not impossible to archive a meaningful part of it, pretty tangible, especially the useful parts.


The meaningful part of open web is small, yes. Sadly there's so much junky pages, nowadays also partially generated by AI, previously by just copy-pasting randomly content of other pages, cluttering search results. It somehow needs to be all filtered out, otherwise it'll end up taking place instead of something more useful... So I'd really wonder how much of the open web is some kind of original content and how much is duplicate/auto-generated junk.


I'm not convinced. There are various different estimates for how large the internet is with varying confidence, but most I found average around a few hundred zettabytes. The Internet Archive seems to be in the ballpark of a hundred petabytes. So unless I got it wrong, the archive currently covers about 0.01% of the whole thing. How much we need to cover the useful bits is a separate discussion of course.


Absolutely. Bard felt worse than GPT-3.5 in some aspects. Gemini Ultra looks to be on par with GPT-4 and better than GPT-4 atleast when it comes to speed, which isn't trivial when expecting longform answers


Landed at a 404 as well, but my /u/0/ is not a Google Workspace accounts. I'm in EU at the moment but with a US billing address. While the upgrade succeeded, I'm only seeing a 404 after


That's standard "You were too good for them anyways" post break-up speech


KYC is much more involved outside the US. Have you tried opening an account in the EU or South Asia?

It's just that US does very little to no KYC upon account opening, instead relying on risk indicators (like IP address, and credit systems) at the outset, and throwing flags way down the line if some 'unusual' activity happens in the account. This happens typically when someone really needs access their account urgently (real estate txs) or in unusual situations, which results in stories like these.

No other country has high-street banks (obv. excluding the 'tech'-banks of yore) that let me open an account without ever entering a branch or requiring a single piece ID


In some countries though once you open with one in person you can do so online with other banks


Not if they use a password hash like Argon2 or scrypt


Even then it is theatre because if you know the IP address you want to check it's trivial to see if there's a match.


And this is why such a hash will still be considered personal data under legislation like GDPR.


But that's very heavy to compute at scale...


True, but also it's a blogging platform - does it really have that kind of scale to be concerned with?


Probably not, I was mainly thinking if that kind of solution was to be adopted at a scale like Google Analytics.


I'm expecting @tptacek to come in anytime reminding us of his thoughts on DNSSEC

https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/01/15/against-dnssec/


People who are actually correct on the basis of significant experience don't tend to feel it necessary to remind others at every possible occasion (unless not doing so would lead to significant harm to others).

They're usually busy doing other things.


unless not doing so would lead to significant harm to others

Ding ding ding.

At any rate: it's very funny that DNSSEC took 1.1.1.1 down, but this bug can't honestly be pinned on DNSSEC itself.


In a way they're lucky DNSSEC took it down, otherwise they may have not noticed the issue of using stale data for much longer.


They have expired the data correctly, which uncovered a bug in fetching of a new DNSSEC record.

If the DNSSEC didn't add new unnecessary complexity to an otherwise working system, there would be no bug, and no stale data.


"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

but yea, repeatedly running into a wall of ignorance encourages shifting to "busy doing other things"


This just makes the case for supporting it even further, because then they'd be supporting multiple years worth of hardware with just the effort for one uarch
