Gmail is pretty good at exporting your e-mail straight to the NSA too.

Maybe if Protonmail receives some kickbacks from the NSA, then they could implement the feature for you as a FREE user.

Oh, you're a paying customer? Then I guess their lack of export shows you how valuable their service is inspite of that feature being unavailable.
If you mean the BC 1090s that is.
Is it that different from broadcast TV where ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and The CW all coexist? The market is big enough to support multiple competitors. Also, think of HBO as Time Warner, and all that comes with (CNN, CW, Warner Bros, DC Comics).

Well, what really is "authentic" food? Of all the German restaurants I've been to (and it's been a lot), the only constant seems to be a vague focus on sausage. The best--and I contend, most "authentic"--German meal I've ever had is still in a small restaurant in Hagerstown, Maryland, and that includes having toured all over Germany itself.
What about a company specialized "say" in web socket. That is it provides Web Socket related products and consulting. Doesn't that make it a Technology company?
Exporting e-mails was one of the most requested features as far as I remember (https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/export-import-...) and I can understand people getting angry about this. I think Protonmail will have to move a bit faster on this now as holding your customer data "hostage" will no longer be an acceptable practice starting from next year (May 25) due to EU GDPR. So if they want to keep selling to EU customers they will have to implement a mechanism to allow people to get their data out of their system in an automated way.

And honestly, e-mail is not only about communication but also about archiving of data, and what good is an archive if you can't even get the data out of it when you need it? I've been a Protonmail premium subscriber and I would have loved to stay on their service, but the fact of not being able to get my e-mails out of there in case I needed them made it totally unsuitable as a business e-mail account.

How ironic that you're tone is worse that OP and then you call them a vulgar name.

Your point is lost because the emphasis you gain is precisely because of your shitty tone.

Maybe protonmail doesn't give a fuck. I'm more inclined to now apply to them as a developer and think that "they just get it".

I think he could respond to it better (once you're a public-enough figure online, a good skill to learn is knowing when to step away from the keyboard instead of saying something grumpy you'll probably later regret), but I see where he's coming from.

I have no personal familiarity with this specific instance, but your assessment is likely correct. "Putting out the fire with gasoline" is pretty common on the internet. I have seen celebrities on Twitter reply to something they did not like, only to be surprised and grumpy that their attempts to shut it down backfired and just resulted in more of the thing they did not want, plus additional collateral damage of various sorts.
I dropped all my social networks in the beginning of the year. I did for two main reasons.

First, for privacy concerns. FB, specially was getting to creepy for me. I felt, every action I did was being analyzed and filtered, I felt like I was a lab rat. The fact that these companies know so much about us is pretty scary, I felt like I needed to regain my privacy, fight the system somehow.

Second reason was because, I wasn't getting anything substantial that could improve my life overall. All I saw was dumb-ass posts, ignorant comments, the passive aggressiveness, the "look at me doing this really mundane thing, but please like my picture so I can feel validated", etc... feels like a mouse-cat race to see which of us has a better life or something. I honestly feel bad for how much time I spent there when I could apply that time to learn new things.

After more than 6 months without FB, here's what I've learned:

- I still keep in touch with my closest friends, we chat on slack/iMessage every day. It's actually a good way to know who really misses you, during this time, only about 5% of my FB friends reached out to me through message or phone to ask how were things in life. The other 95%, I really don't even remember most of their names anymore. Just ask yourselves, why do we have to share so much of our lives with so many "friends"? I know we can filter, and create groups, etc.. but damn...do you really want to spend your life "managing" relationships, to see who sees what? I find that tiresome.

- I don't feel left out of anything, because I keep track of local events using other sources, I read news from faithful websites, and if I need to share anything I just use the old email or show face-to-face any pictures I need of my latest vacation from my phone without having to share anything with anyone.

- I gain more time, less stress, I don't feel overwhelmed to keep track of every social media update. I just don't care. If something important happens I will know it sooner or later.

- I no longer have this need to constantly keep posting photos of what I'm doing outdoors or whatever. I don't have the need to feel validated by anyone but myself.

- But most importantly, I regained my privacy, or at least my social footprint is bare none at this point. I'm using uBlock, Firefox, DuckDuckGo and other tools to keep trackers at bay.

I may never completely win this war, but at least my habits aren't being recorded and feed to any ML algorithm.

First let's define discipline. I will define it as 1. Choosing to take a desired action despite feeling like doing otherwise and 2. Refraining from taking an undesired action despite feeling like doing otherwise.

Having a goal around your actions is somewhat implied here.

So what can help us cultivate discipline? Well, each time you practice discipline you are cultivating it. So what can help us practice it?

1. Mindfulness; whether through meditation or other practices, practicing mindfulness can help you gain some distance from your thoughts and feelings and make a more reasoned choice to act towards your goals.

2. Environment; setting things up to make taking action easier (e.g. putting you shoes by your bed if you want to go running), or making things harder to do (throwing out all your junk food, not shopping when hungry)

3. Having compassion for yourself. You will never achieve perfect discipline. Realizing that you will screw up, especially in the beginning, and having compassion for yourself when you do (as you might have towards a friend who is struggling) makes it more likely that you will continue to cultivate discipline.

To some degree. It can define their various positions. Pure technology company for example can be easily against DRM and copyright maximalism, while for media company that's a more novel view on things. It's not an inherent relation, it's just most media companies are conditioned to think that way.

No, the advent of or call for protectionist policies and increased xenophobia in not just Europe with large-scale international wars being fought all around the war is a sign of something changing.

It used to be that these wars were more of a concern and on the news and would spark attention from more than just the countries involved especially given the areas they are in such as Ukraine, Syria, etc.
Funny, I thought about that too right after I wrote my comment.
Ask HN: Subscription Bitcoin trading?
VC going towards subscription based models for btc speculation?

Current Bitcoin trading/wallet services are following an "old model" for purchasing financial instruments. Coinbase charges a large percentage fee of around 2% and they are able to do this because they offer simplicity, ease of use, and safety. GDAX charges a much lower .25%, however, they cater to a more advanced and experienced Bitcoin trader. Because there are few trusted brokers in the market they are able to charge so much. Naturally, these rates will decline and possibly become flat fees per trade when the exchanges become more efficient and safe.

It may take some time for a subscription based model to make sense with current exchanges being a few years behind the NYSE and others. There are two ways for a new trading platform to execute its requests: to make trades on existing exchanges or to create its own exchange. The former seems to be much more plausible.

An application like this could make it more reasonable for skeptical and young investors to join in on owning/trading Bitcoin. This would further increase volume and drive the markets to further efficiency and safety. Ideally it would provide tools like limit buys/sells, stop loss/limits, and possibly leverage, all of which are no where to be found on the regular Coinbase application. Ease of use similar to that of Robinhood would need to be its primary concern with the vast majority of people remaining highly skeptical of anything related to crypto.
Postgres has a super readable codebase and the functions in the article seem to come directly from the code. When you understand the general model of how postgres works it's fairly easy to browse the code. Having said that I haven't look at the deeper structures at all before and have mostly just perused the query planner / executor code.

A universal system of micro-payments could help change the system or at least provide support to alternative systems. I want to pay for things I use to support the creator and to signal that it is valuable. Unfortunately, all the efforts in creating micro-payments have failed (in the US?). Seems to me this is a place where the controller of the local currency (in the US, the Fed/Federal government) should set up a system. It would only take one nation with a floating exchange rate to set up a working micro-payment system and it could become the defacto global online currency. Many nations would quickly follow. Come on Canada, do this.

I've tried it, but their solution is (IMHO) a very poor fit for a business e-mail account, as there is (or was when I used the service) no way to manage e-mail accounts for your employees and no way to archive / extract their e-mails in case of need (I understand that it's a privacy-focused e-mail service, but as an employer you have legal requirements to keep business documents for several years, and having to rely on your employees goodwill to get the data out of the system is not an acceptable solution for this). Also, there's no calendar integration (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-feedback/sugg...), which again makes it difficult to use this as a business e-mail account.

I've switched to Mailbox.org in 2016 and I'm very happy with their product and service: Their system is based on an open-source solution (OpenExchange) so they don't need to reinvent the wheel and can focus on prodiving good hosting and service (which they do). They also have support for 2FA (including hardware tokens like Yubikeys) and recently revamped their management portal, which allows you to easily create and manage e-mail accounts for your employees.
Another vote for Metabase. I used it every day in my last role and would do so again although I don't think it's quite Tableau-level in terms of its analysis and reporting capabilities.
The grand irony of your comment is that I am out of San Francisco right now in another American city doing 4-6 engineering interviews a day for a week. A little over a month ago I was in Latin America doing the same. So I am in fact going to places to recruit engineers not representative of Silicon Valley.

That however still doesn't change the fact that your toxic approach of "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem" makes you part of the problem. Forcing duality is highly counterproductive.

i must have other priorities. how else could i fail so miserably?

I was mostly just pointing out that perl6 might not be as slow as the comment you linked suggests. There seems to be something about using `perl6 -pe` that caused it to be slower than you’d expected. However, using a different approach its reasonably fast, or at least it appears reasonably comparable to the perl 5 example that was provided.

Hopefully more edge cases will be discovered and fixed as the implementation matures as well.
I wouldn't expect any major studio (which is what most of these companies basically are at this point) to handle their streaming by calling IBM and write a check. On the other hand, implementing a reliable streaming platform--while requiring a lot of developers, ops people, and money--is a fairly well-understood problem at this point.

I expect that a branded streaming-as-a-service platform will absolutely exist at some point relatively soon. But I'm not aware of examples today.

That said, I'll bet on the company with the content rather than the company with an incrementally whiz-bangier streaming platform.
AES in CTR mode does work like that. So do most stream ciphers.

Differential cryptanalysis is not about defending against bit-flips. Instead, it is about comparing two cipher texts to learn something about the relation between corresponding plain-text.

This is only possible on AES-CTR if you have to ciphertexts with the same key and nonce/IV. This is why a nonce is supposed to be used only once. Same goes for other xor based stream ciphers.

Thats a very good point, although I believe downs syndrome is a genetic issue rather than healthcare and nutrition issue. However the point remains that if the incidence of downs is very low in the country, combined with an abortion rate that is e.g on average for a European country then a case could be made that abortion is not the driving factor for the low incidence of DS in the general population.

I just reread the root comment:

> Are there any concrete uses of a blockchain that have clear advantages than to using a standard database other than cryptocurrencies?

Seems you're refuting something no one said, as far as I can tell.

Edit:

> Digital identity is a cryptographic thing and a distributed thing

How is it distributed? I assumed it was some company's servers -- maybe in multiple data centres around the world. But nothing like 24k nodes (& possibly more in the future).

---

Edit (reply to your edit):

I think the claim is that the identity system will be more resilient, not that it will be easier to implement. Censorship resistance.

I'd imagine it'll be harder to implement & cost more. A trade-off.

Which is along the lines of what I originally asked,

> Is Keybase resilient against the country's government in which it resides?

You said that gpg was. But didn't mention the computers. I asked about the servers & the ppl. (We didn't talk about the team).

The need wasn't specified. I'm presuming it's censorship resistance. Governments can't meddle with identities. Wipe someone off the face of the earth.
These ideas are very, very old - Adam Smith and John Locke were writing about the difference between an item's "use value" (how useful it is) and its "exchange value" (what you can trade for it) in the 1700's, and Karl Marx spent a lot of time on this in his book Capital, first published in 1867.

I guess it's worth restating this stuff (because obviously everyone didn't get the memo) but it's misleading to present these insights as if they were new. It may be that the ideas have never occurred to some people before - but while it's nice to think up smart things all by yourself, it's even nicer to begin with an education about what's already been figured out, so one can work on new problems instead of centuries' old problems.
