If I lose my phone, I expect my new phone to have proper continuity on the messages. I'd rather have that than any encryption, to be honest. I don't care if the government spies on me. I do care if something someone sent me gets lost.

"Is this pure government strong-arm style coercion with NSLs, or is this intentional malfeasance on the part of executive management hoping to data mine for their own profits?"

Facebook is a surveillance company that sells profiles and/or data to 3rd parties for money. They own WhatsApp. That gives us a probable answer. Far as general case, the Core Secrets leaks indicate they both bribe companies & the FBI "compels" those that resist to "SIGINT-enable" the systems under "FISA" authority. The Yahoo case also indicated they fine companies enough to put them out of business. So, they can fine companies or possibly jail their executives if they don't put the backdoor in. It's also always secret with likely excuses that it's classified matter of national security, part of ongoing investigations, etc.
So get Firefox back to where it was, just a browser that supported extensions. Everything beyond core browsing should be an extension or plugin.

I have no use for WebRTC, so I would not install the addon/plugin. You may want it, so you would. When there was a problem with Mozilla's implementation, I wouldn't have to care, and neither would anyone else who didn't use or want it. Only those that chose to have the functionality would need to be concerned, and even then it could be updated without a full browser update.

Your message is basically 'learn from your mistakes' which would be usually a good advice. But in this special situation he just shouldn't.

Why:

- You don't have the time and the energy to do so; the risk of getting depressed or apathetic in such situations is quite high (once you are depressed you have another problem you don't want and can deal with); so discipline is the most important thing; to stay disciplined you MUST stay positive, 100%; thinking about 'micro-failures' doesn't help your mood; and btw, every situation can be seen positive or negative, you remember when people say the glass is half-full?

- Maybe the OP didn't do anything wrong, how do you want to know? Maybe it was the financial situation of the company, or they changed the product strategy over night or, or, or...; he might never find out the real reason, so any time spent on such thoughts is wasted time he could use for new endeavors

- Maybe in a year he can think back and learn from failures; but you know what, he doesn't have to sit down, think and learn from potential failures now: I am pretty sure that when he faces similar situations in future where he did mistakes in the past, he will remember and will act accordingly and automatically without the need to prepare himself
They don't :(
The incorrect system time detection is a small feature, but actually pretty neat. I've run into that before, when testing time-sensitive features in my software and forgetting to change it back, then wondering why on Earth nothing secure works anymore.
Should've added that, thanks. It means more than just "as", it also means "in the capacity of", for which there's in my opinion no good english substitute. It comes from Aristotle (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-mathematics/#7....), but there are also somewhat similar strains of thought in confucianism, usually in a more prescriptive manner (how to be an X to a Y).
I read it was something like their hackathons started at 8 PM.
> Nintendo's supposedly subsidised console

Nintendo hasn't subsidized a console for years (and has been rather public about that). And Nintendo includes a full wireless controller with rechargeable batteries, a TV display dock, and a tablet charger -- none of that ships with the Shield K1 Tablet (not even a cheap USB charger). And Nintendo's Switch likely uses the faster X1 chip, not the slower K1 in the Shield Tablet.

It's not really fair to complain about Nintendo's $100 higher price over the Shield Tablet, without mentioning all extra stuff Nintendo throws in for that price that the Shield Tablet doesn't include.
That is the point - you often can't just recompile journald part, because it is tied to systemd interfaces and you might not be able to easily upgrade systemd, because it is a production system you can't simply reboot like your home server. The only way to do that is backporting specific patches to the older version.

If it were a separate component, it would have a bunch of ifdefs covering several versions of systemd, possibly with some features disabled if older version doesn't support it.
However, that somewhat increases code complexity for developers and systemd devs refuse to do that.

That is the point of 'monolithic' criticism - despite being many binaries, you can't easily just build single one and make that work.
>> But the marketing and presentation was honestly textbook.

I don't know if anyone else noticed but I thought this presentation would have played better if it had been done with a western live audience because of cultural differences. The Japanese audience was very polite and seemed fairly quiet throughout the presentation. If it was done in front of western fans, there would have been continuous eruptions of raucous applause during each of the game presentations (much like an Apple event).
In my day I would ask for an "informational interview" side by side.

People wanted "abridged civil liberties, police militarization and increased surveillance" applied to other people. The whole thing relies on "othering".

America has long been happy to have a more violent police force and higher rate of imprisonment than other countries so long as that violence is directed against nonwhite people. It seems people imagine that they'll be the priviliged ones behind the iron curtain; the neighbourhood informers.

(This is also why e.g. HOAs have such oppressive rules, they're aimed at eradicating "difference" and a form of soft-redlining)
More interesting, I stand by my prediction that WhatApp would have a backdoor in it or start selling information once Facebook acquired it regardless of Moxie's improvements. Looks like I called it again. People need to stay away from this messenger unless they absolutely have to be on it for friends and family. Still encourage them to download Signal for anything private.
> I don't mean to pick on you, but this is getting tiring for me. When you say 'marketing' you mean advertising and promotion, because product definition is part of marketing.

Well, you shouldn't judge me so fast. I have an MBA with marketing and I have been working on marketing for some time in my life. So I am aware what a marketing plan involves, and promotion is a small portion of it. I cannot suppose the founders knew all about marketing, but I would expect them to spend some money in promotion even if it not wise money.

Maybe you like this more. You have to do some marketing: define your product, know your users, define your goals, find the channels where your users are, target them, promote your product to those users in those channels, measure the results, analyze what happened and rinse and repeat. (that was also a small definition because marketing is still more)
Shoot. I forgot one thing.

If you haven't done your taxes already, do them. It will give you a better picture of where you stand & what you can expect in terms of a refund (if you get one).

Admittedly this advice probably applies more to the self-employed folks as we have to pay quarterly estimated taxes. The worst thing that can happen is to lose a client and then discover that you owe the government a few grand in April.

But if you are getting a refund, it should make you feel more calm about your situation.

The historical behavior of unions is commensurate with the historical behavior of employers and strike-breakers.

Your adversary is not going to be ethical and nonviolent.

Unions resolve the prisoner's dilemma in favor of the prisoners. The game is set up like this:

In each trial, 3 players distribute $300.
A and B vote on whether E gets $100 or $150.
E can cast a tie-breaking vote.
E decides how to distribute the remainder to A and B.

| A gets | B gets | E gets |
+--------+--------+--------+-----
| $100 | $100 | $100 | A $100, B $100
| $150 | $ 0 | $150 | A $150, B $100
| $ 0 | $150 | $150 | A $100, B $150
| $ 75 | $ 75 | $150 | A $150, B $150

Obviously, if A and B cooperate, and voluntarily form a cartel with the power to enforce cooperation, they will experience a better outcome. Because in the long run, in repeated trials, the employer will be pocketing an extra $50 in a huge number of trials, while pitting the employees against each other.
Surely no guide to hash algorithms is complete without mentioning the pigeonhole principle at least once.
You can get some idea by looking at where the packages are going - but in todays ipv4 space, most p2p packages have to transit trough some public IP addresses. That means that, unless you are able to decrypt the traffic, it will be difficult to know if someone is listening in on the conversation. Also, just by looking at the packages, you will not have any means to detect back-doors, unless they are accessed while you are looking. Back-doors potentially requested by intelligence agencies for snooping on high value targets are likely to go undetected.

Of normal human genetic variation, 1-4% is sourced from Neanderthal DNA, which sub-Saharan African peoples do not share. They still may share up to 96-99% DNA variations. In absolute terms they share in excess of 99.9%[1]. The variations inside ethnic groups are almost 16 times larger than the variations between ethnic groups.

I had a similar experience on WP and preferred HERE Maps.

One reason for the poor quality of Google Maps was the lack of an official App, and third-party ones were quite poor. Google seems to have a policy against releasing apps for Mobile Windows platforms that goes further than just "we don't care".

Sorry, but that's just impossible, really. Any sufficiently long flight, especially international, ALWAYS has power connectors and/or USB slots. Admittedly the power plug is often hard to find, hidden under the seat or armrest, but the USB slots are usually right below the heads up screen for movies. Unless you're flying extremely short distances only, power is basically included in all flights at this point. This applies to coach as well.
Does the correctness of Poly1305 not depend on P ≠ NP? I guess this boils down to whether the correctness of AES depends on P ≠ NP, which it might not since it's symmetric?

The failure modes of reusing a nonce are never good, but some are far worse than others. The one-time pad's failure mode is particularly disastrous; it leaks the XOR of two plaintexts. There are a good number of algorithms that only leak whether the same message was repeated.
They're simpler than desktop environments in every way.

I have found that I use 10% and absolutely require 0% of the larger DEs' features, so using a simpler system makes sense.

Your use case seems like it would work well with tiling window managers, since you can just arrange things so that you have a single fullscreen window per workspace.

I guess what they're suggesting is to compromise the server in such a way that it does not send "delivered" receipts for any messages anymore (even though it actually delivers them to Bob, and Bob answers, and a "normal" conversation ensues).

Then, at some point later, Eve on the compromised server could send a "oops, here's a new key, send everything undelivered again" message. Then, the client, as it is now, would just re-encrypt and re-send all those messages it deems undelivered so far (and then pop up the "key changed" message, if you had requested it in the settings).

You'd recognise the attack by seeing only single ticks on messages, even if Bob had seen them and answered.
From my understanding (after doing a few weeks of research on this for my own home security) the current "top of the line" tech is the Tomographic motion detectors which build up a mesh.

It has been commercialized by a security company named Xandem, some info on it:

Yeah that needs to be a term. It's a pattern I'm sure many of us have seen in scientific studies too:

Abstract: "We observed a moderate correlation between X and Y. The results are surprising because they contradict previous studies of similar populations."

Didn't mean to prove anything here. I mentioned myself that I can't prove the FLAC was up to par and there might be all sorts of biases at work, who knows.

The "box" had the hard disks and DAC inside, don't know the correct term. Connection was with short, chunky cables. We switched back and forth using a switch on the amp without any delay. I wouldn't blame the hardware in this situation.

I haven't listened to much vinyl in my life but maybe it subconscioulsy triggers some memories but I do not consciously prefer vinyl in any way and as a contrarian I wouldn't mind calling out BS.

Describing sound is hard but I experienced the music a lot better with the LP, would try and call the FLAC "flat, boring, less dynamic" when comparing directly.

All I'm saying is, if you get the chance, listen to a good LP on some audiophile's equipment.

What a tiling WM does in this situation is remove the part of the equation where you have to think about maximizing your windows. Instead of mouse interactions with GUI controls for window placement and scaling, you just use a couple of hotkeys to cycle between window layouts and navigate workspaces (i.e., if you want side-by-side windows for a moment during some task, you hit a key once or twice, then do the same to get back to maximized windows). This may not seem like it's much cognitive load to get rid of, but for me at least, going back after a few months of having the WM just handle things felt clumsy and primitive.

It will also ruin you for using most standard desktop environments, and I personally burn probably a solid day a year porting my WM config to some new environment. These have been a worthwhile trade-offs for me, but probably something to consider if you have to use systems you don't control very often.
I see your point, but in talking about Newton the context is science. In science anything that is not falsifiable is not useful, so in this sense is it not a fair appraisal?

If the context is useful tools for those that practice religion, then I agree most would not consider theology a waste of time.

Running a real, public DNS server is a highly skilled, full time job. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole and I (roughly) know how to do it.
I have no way of doing this currently, the point is just that without some form of verification, I can't be sure that this is any better than what I'm using now.
It'd be interesting to know what their business model is. Traffic isn't free and neither are world-wide servers. They are not run by ads, they are not a paid service, so how do they cover their expenses?
That's only with select airlines and only on long haul flights between major hubs. It's not a feature you can rely on in the least.
Wow, with such a biased estimation of events, you must be talking about your own willful ignorance.

"Barry because he something about climate change once." If you willfully ignore everything that has happened, then perhaps you're not impressed or don't see drastic differences.

"How do you talk people down after spending a year telling them Hitler was coming to power?" Which is of course not in the least bit realistic.

Sure, one can create strawmen all day, and use those strawmen to push whatever argument they want, but nobody is the wiser for it. If you actually try to look at the world with as clear eyes as possible, rather than through the most rosy-colored or other filtered view, you will have a better chance of getting through days without them being hard and also of convincing people of your points of view.
Perhaps this isn't the right place for this, but I'd be interested in a broader discussion about this. What do we do about it?

Even if we see it coming a mile away, or if we wake up and look around and see it happening.. what can we do?

> As a rule of thumb: if both parties are angry at you, you're on the right track.

> the group identity thing

Group identity and culture wars are not new (and are certainly not going away). It's plausible to me that the internet is making this worse - a premise of your post - but I'm not yet convinced. It's possible they're merely coincident. What concrete reasons are there to believe the internet is a primary cause of today's increasingly vitriolic culture wars, rather than merely a new venue in which they are being pursued?
The main advantage I find is that I don't need to use the mouse to manage my windows. I split my screen to have my emacs session and terminal/browser etc., side-by-side. I can move the windows using key bindings: snap them, split the screen etc.,.

Also extremely light-weight when compared to DEs like Unity/Gnome.
A decent Dyson shell concept; the best part of it is the better gravity on the outside. On the other hand, the stress analysis shows that no real material could be used to build it in the 1m thick design envisioned.

One of these days I have to get around to writing a paper about building Dyson shells onto the surface of red dwarf stars. The gas pressure of the star would support a thin shell, and a number of red dwarf stars have surface temperatures lower than refractory materials like carbon and tungsten. The surface gravity would be too high for human life, but it would make a heck of power plant.

Too many papers to write, too little time...
