At some level, it is worse. The Indian press never sold us citizens koolaid about freedom, talking truth to power, and patted themselves on the back about winning Pulitzer Prizes for journalism.
The Indian press knows it is a bottom feeder and doesn’t try not to be which gives space for critical thought to emerge (even if it masked as extreme cynicism - “everyone is corrupt”) which results in extreme skepticism of everyone.
I don't quite understand this comment. Are you encouraging us to use your comment as some sort of template and insert our own preferred corporate names?
Sounds like some crazy level of meta where your brilliance is applicable to any pair of mega corps...which I don't buy.
Dont count on it, recent example of a Judge mulling sanctions after blatant disregard of Court order and multiple counts of contempt was 9x $1000 https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-nyc-hush-money-trial-... Courts work in different mode when dealing with the rich.
Violating a judge's gag order is, at most, contempt of court which has a max penalty of 30 days confinement and a $1000 fine. Pichai is flirting with destruction of evidence, which is a criminal felony with consequences of up to 20 years in prison. If he were a "normal person", he'd likely be facing this exact charge right now.
Unrelated but I’ve seen and appreciated your posts on some totally unrelated topics - like Vietnam politics and Indian ghost cities and now, Hinton’s history in Compsci. How the hell do you know so many different things and in, what looks to me, considerable depth?
My issue was that a single message, be it 4 bytes, was essentially billed the same as a 20Mb request. Didn't make too much sense to me.
If I have to think about batching messages to decrease costs even tho my overall transport and execution would be the same, I feel like that's an issue on the platform somehow.
When I took a look at using DO last time I decided against using them because you had to pay for the duration your clients are connected to them when using WebSockets. As far as I understood it’s not execution duration but flat out how long your clients are connected. You’ll burn through seconds quickly that way. I decided to go with a polling mechanism instead.
If I have the entangled version of the MEASURED byte and measure, only I know I’ve measured it. The corresponding MEASURED particles on your side still appear fuzzy to you because you haven’t measured them. If you measure them, they will reveal their state which correlates to mine BUT that doesn’t tell you if I have already measured my side of byte or not.
In effect, the heads/tail coin on your side is still spinning even after I have grabbed my side of the tail/head coin.
You may get HEAD as your result but that only tells you that I will get TAIL when I measure on my side, not that I have measured it already.
If you and I agree to measure at the same time, then I will know your state by determining mine but this is the same as knowing your state because I know how a two sided coin works, not FTL.
I’m using Supabase for similar reasons but there’s one specific situation I’m trying to sort out.
Say you have a user “profile” which includes their privileges - like say a column named “privileges” which is some JSON object denoting what they can/can’t do.
Even with RLS, how do you ensure that a user can’t simply make a curl call with their own JWT to elevate their own privileges?
Basically, how to enforce column level security?
The best thing I can think of is to place “privileges” in a child table and only let the service account update that table.
Thanks for sharing. Wasn’t aware of this. Will check it out today.
For now, I figured I’d have an BEFORE UPDATE trigger which compares the md5(NEW.privileges::text) with md5(OLD.privileges::text) and raises an error if they don’t match.
Not sure how to bypass the trigger for service accounts.
You could create a trigger that always keeps the value the same unless user has privileges to change it. Or alternatively the RLS rule could check if the column is being updated and abort the call if it is. I’m using a different table that is read-only to regular users to accomplish this.
