    @bob I think merit is the wrong word. It's more about influence going to those who've proven that they're advancing the common goal.

    Heh, the fact that Coraline's latest manifesto receives such a chilly response on even a fairly-pro-socjus site as lobsters is saying something: https://lobste.rs/s/u75wnk/post_meritocracy_manifesto

    @maiyannah But how will that work when users log in from multiple devices and such?

    Heh, bunch of people arguing against privacy for domain owners because they want to look up email addresses in WHOIS. I just checked with the .nl registry, they simply make you send in a form to request contact data (with an exception for govt orgs which have laws authorizing and limiting access to personal data). Seems like a decent solution.

    @maiyannah You mean like with public key signatures? Yeah, it would make that pretty hard. Even a system where all the private key stuff happens on server would at least limit the ability to impersonate to just the people with admin level access.

    ICANN goes to the courts to preserve their ability to publish personal data of people who have the audacity to register a domain (by forcing a German registrar to keep publishing PD). Uh, nope. Not gonna work. They're essentially trying to force a German company to disobey German law. Law that they've been told time and time again by the people in charge of enforcing said law that WHOIS is breaching.

    @maiyannah Is that going to be reporting remote users to your own admin or reporting remote users to their local admin from your own site? Cause if the latter I predict people are going to think the remote site has the same rules as their local site because they're reporting it on their local site.

    Slashdot: we value your privacy. So much that we're going to pop up a screen asking you to give up your privacy for every friggin story you read until you finally cave and click accept.

    Ah, Angular. There is now a nice feature that if some library does setInterval in its code you won't be able to use Protractor for end-to-end tests because it won't be able to figure out when Angular is done. And apparently there is a way to track what's causing zone issues but it's underdocumented and its unclear how to use it. And people wonder why I try to avoid frontend.

    @maiyannah @gameragodzilla He comes across as incredibly, painfully, hip. Which is more than enough reason for me to distrust him. Yes, I'm biased against hipsters, I don't care. ;)

    OpenPGP vs Signal: I agree that PGP could be massively improved upon, but a centralized system like Signal ain't it. It does show however how you can achieve practical improvement on a wide scale: by making crypto hard to not use.

    Oh, joy. Reddit has gone for a new interface again. Massive reduction in information density to the point where only three or so fit on my screen. I hate it when webdesigners can't figure out that there are people who don't have crazy good eyes.

    Serilog seems to be the better option. At least they've implemented the rather obvious trick of batching events to be written. Also SqlBulkCopy is a rather neat trick, didn't know ADO supported that (but then, I never really used ADO).

    So I was a bit afraid of the performance impact of logging to the database in NLog (someone else chose to do that). Looked up the code and yes, it's doing an outside-of-transaction insert for every single log message. Now outside-of-transaction just means in-implicit-transactions so I really really hope there won't be too much logging as this is going to be hell on performance. Trust me, I've made that mistake myself, relational databases are NOT good for massive amounts of write transactions.

    `[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Security", "CA2100:Review SQL queries for security vulnerabilities", Justification = "It's up to the user to ensure proper quoting.")]` This is not something I want to see in a logging library, or for that matter in any library.
