Right, Spain already does this. And I've during high-profile events I've seen TSA patrolling the main subway stations in Washington, DC.
Skype back in the day went to great lengths to be unblockable (mostly for commercial reason, there was a time before smartphones that people actually payed lots of money for international and domestic calls). It was pre MS.

Why are not the other messengers doing the same?
This reminds me of an irritating problem in CPS based compilers where you can have a transformation that is obvious and legal except that after the transformation one of the relevant variables would not be in scope. The solution(s) are to decline to do that transformation, fart around with sinking and hoisting in order to get the scope right, or ditch scope and move to a graph model in which dependence is represented with explicit edges rather than being approximated by the lexical structure of the program.

I'm guessing that the lexical borrow problems that Rust are facing are an instance of the same problem. It will be interesting to read the follow up post and see what relation, if any, the suggested solution has to the graph approaches that I am familiar with.

> what if she cut off her thumb and disposed of it in such a way that it was irretrievable?

A contempt charge wouldn't hold any more (probably), but there's probably another charge that would apply, like spoliation of evidence [sorry, realized that you mentioned that charge further down in your comment].

> It sounds to me like fingerprint authentication is not something a criminal should use if they don't want to get caught.

True.

> Imagine the criminal held down the power off button for three seconds then swiped, is that a crime?

It's also not normally a crime for her to mutilate her thumb or for me to wave a knife around if I believe I'm alone and don't intend to harm anyone. Motive and context matter.

> but then again how is not giving a passcode not considered spoliation?

The act of making the fingerprint unusable would be the spoliation, I suppose. Not giving the passcode would be protected under the 5th.
Brasil is not poor, is F*n corrupt.
You might consider resubmitting as this didn't get too much attention.
The right hobbies help out a ton. Like, I've been doing social dancing twice a week, and that usually takes up 3-4 hours. Plus, there's fun movements to do while bored waiting for transit to show up.
Note that the Rust standard library also sets O_CLOEXEC. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/24034
Unprotected means there is no traffic light.

If your app isn't complex enough to merit using a framework, then you aren't really building something worth talking about.

Like HN, Craigslist, Reddit, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia?

From what I understand, each of these sites was famously minimalist in terms of front end architecture as such, in their early stages at least. And still are, comparatively speaking.

You don't NEED a framework, just like you could theoretically build a car from scratch.

Very often you don't need a "car" to launch a business or start a community. Sometimes what you need is more akin to a bicycle. Or a walking stick.

I'm really glad I don't have to work with people who think like this.

I greatly prefer working with people who challenge conventional wisdom (and my own unthinking assumptions and tunnel vision about things), actually.
A true shame since Telegram is just as centralized as WhatsApp, minus the strong end-to-end encryption. Should it become the de facto messaging app for Brazilians, the next judge will just block Telegram instead.

But decentralized communication networks that work mobile first are hard, we all know it, so there's room for improvement, randomizing server addresses on a daily rotation, or whatever may render pointless these blockades.
They can't be charged with contempt over that. Compelling them to do so is forcing them to self-incriminate themselves.

Self incrimination protections are there for a good reason. If the person is on trial, then they haven't pleaded guilty - they say they haven't done what they are accused of. If they are in fact innocent, if the court decided to enforce them into provide this information and jailed them for contempt, it would literally be indefinite because they are innocent and cannot provide information on what they don't know!

I guess that's why a key or fingerprint is allowed - it is definitely something that can be used one way or the other. If they key doesn't work, it doesn't work. Same with a fingerprint.

But a passcode - it is not definitive. The defendant may say they don't know it as someone changed it on them. They then type in a wrong code: how are you going to disprove that?
I can't follow any of this. I'm not sure how moving some place, getting an apartment, getting a job, paying taxes, etc. (aka "living") constitutes "mooching and freeloading". I think you need to take Rhetoric 101 again.

Anyone know how WhatsApp is being blocked?
Telegram gets hit hard every time WhatsApp gets blocked in Brazil. It's happened 2x before (at least).
Have you tried deliberate weight-gaining diets? GOMAD (take your normal diet, and throw in a gallon of whole milk a day on top of it) apparently works particularly well.
Yes.

It may be worse than it was a few years ago, but it still feels like a night and day different compared to the bay area.
Good. Now they can all switch to Signal.
Indeed.

They used to divert non pre check travelers to the pre check lane (I've been diverted before) but the article says they don't do that anymore.

In Canada, there was a period where most merchants just taped a piece of paper that said "NO CHIP" across the slot.

Now that the chip cards and functioning readers are the norm, you see a lot of terminals with a piece of paper taped onto them that says "NO TAP".

I've tapped my card at some merchants who were unaware that their terminal had been tap-enabled. "We don't have tap yet" "It's approved" "Oh!"
On the other hand anonymization destroys useful data (along with already poor record systems.) There was a Kaggle competition with medical data that had been so thoroughly damaged that 5 year old boys were listed as pregnant.
You're assuming that there is any effectiveness at all in TSA's procedures. I'm highly skeptical of that myself. It seems they are always fighting the last war. Someone just tried to detonate a shoe bomb? Better make people take off their shoes.

While I agree that if no one paid for PreCheck they'd probably stop the program, I think you're making a follow-on assumption which is "and then the security theater would get better for everyone else."

What we're seeing with the hours-long lines right now is that this simply isn't true. The TSA has no particular incentive to reduce the number of hoops you have to jump through: if anything, a summer like this will probably increase their budget.

So, indeed: pay up for PreCheck and smile because they've given you the opportunity.
"disastrous consequences"? Perhaps Brazilians should engage in some technological risk management.
Samstave,

Just a bit of nitpick to save you some trouble in the future. Brazil is not poor. Brazil is the seventh world economy, if you count the number of nations in north america and europe, being the seventh world economy is a great deal.

Also the division in 1st world and 3rd world is schewed upon today. Its akin to saying the N-word. There are much better, non-pejorative terms to be used.

Brazil is a part of the BRICS or the world emerging countries. Right now it is in a huge political crisis and on the verge of a coup but it is not a poor-3rd-world-nation, it is a the world seventh economy and also dictating tendency for many emerging countries and a continental power in the south.

That being said, you are completely correct that Brazilians love technology. Our smartphone revolution and expansion is awesome and we're keen to adopt new tech. Still more than half of the country doesn't have access to net infrastructure at their home and depends on cybercafes.

If you want some real data on the technology adoption and usage in the country you can use the metrics and indicators from CETIC[0] which is the Brazilian Institute for the study of information technology usage and adoption. Their reports are awesome and will give you a much greater insight on internet usage in the country.

PS: Sorry for the long rant, I work with digital inclusion and web literacy programs here in Brazil, unlocking new digital skills in low-income neighborhoods so I've been immersed in this type of thing for too long.
Very little was said about the type of exercise they were doing. I'd guess that most of it was "cardio." Would they have different results if they were involved in more specifically muscle building exercises, i.e, weight lifting (and with adequate rest)?

I've been following McGuff's Body By Science protocol for the past 6 months and I believe that with increased muscle my overall health is improving much more than would have resulted from typical long and slow cardio.

Has anybody else tried this?
I'm surprised you keep encountering these problems. I've written a few significant (>1000 LOC) Rust programs and never encountered them.
Waay too many entrenched users. They can very easily shave staff, hunker down and make it through.
The judge ordered mobile operators to block it. It's on them to set up the firewall rules / null routes / etc.
Italy has double the unemployment rate and double the poverty rate of the US. It would be pretty shocking if they didn't have reasonable housing prices relative to the US.

For comparison, Seattle is denser than Rome. I'm pretty sure housing is still cheaper in Rome than Seattle.
I like how Russian airports do it. There are huge stacks of trays and large free spaces. You put your stuff into the trays and then stack them up and carry them to the belt, then go through one of the many non-busy scanners, then grab your trays and go back to a huge empty area to put on your stuff again. Feels much nicer because you have all the time in the world to get your stuff in order without holding up people.
SFO is one of the better TSA operations. The employees of the TSA presence aren't directly employees of DHS; they are employed by a contractor of the TSA. I've found them to be professional and efficient (granted that I have Global Entry). In fact, one of the guards let me keep my Chinese papaya soup with liquid (the papaya cavity was filled with a Chinese birds nest soup). She simply told me that technically she should confiscate my papaya, but that she was going to look the other way, and I left the checkpoint with decent airplane food.
This made me just imagine an aristocracy of commentators where once a community grows to a certain size/popularity it locks up and others must be vetted into the group through some process I can't imagine yet.
Chicago is adding knowledge jobs at a pretty impressive clip. If you want to work in a factory though, this isn't the city for you.

GDP per capita is the relevant metric here, as it's a much better gauge of how much money each person has. Using that metric, Brazil ranks 76th [0].

Ranking countries by nominal GDP [1] gives a lopsided view of the world's economy as you can have countries with very large populations of poor people that rank highly, such as China (#2) or India (#9).

>You can't fix social problems with technology

This is an increasingly popular meme, and I have some sympathy for the sentiment that we shouldn't ignore the political process, but ultimately it's twaddle - a backlash against the staggering impact that technology has had and will continue to have. Exhibit A: the printing press.

In this case it's even pragmatically untrue. Make a communications platform that's technically impossible to block, and government will not make itself look foolish attempting to block it. Even the US government, who dearly wanted to kill encryption for the masses before it got off the ground in the 90s, was forced to back off after the tide of encryption technology proved un-stemmable.

Results from the ENCODE consortium, and this result in particular, must not be considered in a vacuum. In particular, review Graur et al.'s comprehensive analysis and rebuttal: "On the immortality of television sets: "function" in the human genome according to the evolution-free gospel of ENCODE." [1]

The abstract:
> A recent slew of ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Consortium publications, specifically the article signed by all Consortium members, put forward the idea that more than 80% of the human genome is functional. This claim flies in the face of current estimates according to which the fraction of the genome that is evolutionarily conserved through purifying selection is less than 10%. Thus, according to the ENCODE Consortium, a biological function can be maintained indefinitely without selection, which implies that at least 80 - 10 = 70% of the genome is perfectly invulnerable to deleterious mutations, either because no mutation can ever occur in these "functional" regions or because no mutation in these regions can ever be deleterious. This absurd conclusion was reached through various means, chiefly by employing the seldom used "causal role" definition of biological function and then applying it inconsistently to different biochemical properties, by committing a logical fallacy known as "affirming the consequent," by failing to appreciate the crucial difference between "junk DNA" and "garbage DNA," by using analytical methods that yield biased errors and inflate estimates of functionality, by favoring statistical sensitivity over specificity, and by emphasizing statistical significance rather than the magnitude of the effect. Here, we detail the many logical and methodological transgressions involved in assigning functionality to almost every nucleotide in the human genome. The ENCODE results were predicted by one of its authors to necessitate the rewriting of textbooks. We agree, many textbooks dealing with marketing, mass-media hype, and public relations may well have to be rewritten.

Actually, Estonia just passed a law which will allow remote bank account opening for all e-residents.
Housing in Italy is not actually cheap. It's just not batshit crazy expensive like the California bay area.

Rome is pretty spread out in terms of a city.

Most of Europe has good public transportation and reasonable housing prices, although of course there are tons of local variations (London is super expensive).

I just don't see any reason why you can't have both decent transportation and reasonable housing prices.

Yeah, the actual mechanics of losing weight is pretty basic calories-in calories-out. The difficult part is engaging in behavior that consistently gives a caloric deficit without making unsustainable trade-offs against willpower or other things. Intermittent fasting is a very good way to remove "how much willpower do I spend while holding a fork and looking at food" out of the weight-loss equation. I lost about 60 pounds using keto, which basically moves all decision making over what to eat (and gives compelling reasons to stay on the wagon - restarting the ketogenic biochemistry is not a particularly fun process).
