That's weird - I always thought that meth is methamphetamine, which, wild very similar chemically, has distinctly different psychological effects.
But in Mars you already have low pressure density. Can you not just run regular HSR there?
Why would you trust someone on the app store more? Just because they invested $99 to spy on you?
Wait a minute, does this means what I have done with Monocypher¹ is illegal? I live in France, and I clearly provided and exported "cryptographic means", and I haven't written a word to our prime minister.

Same goes for Libsodium by the way, I doubt Franck Denis bothered to ask permission as well.

To identify a particular user so you can send them messages? IIRC, Signal has never claimed to be anonymous.

True anonymity in a messaging service is hard to achieve, and not even remotely user friendly.
Actually its a call back to the original "new wave" Sf (both the US and UK versions) from the 60's Samuel Delany for one.
> I think a decent example is "first names". There's certain names that result in worse overall grades during a normal school career, even if the teachers are aware of this bias (in Germany the posterchild for this is "Kevin").

There is a possible causal link with names which goes beyond "children are being treated worse because of their name".
Perhaps those American services are easier to compromise...

To your last bullet point, these seem like a good reasons to me. This does not seem to have happened with the iOS version.

>However, the sheer volume of legacy issues, combined with submissions that completely ignore the provided issue template, has created a situation where there are currently more than 1,100 open tickets. Most of these issues have been inactive for several years and they reference versions of Signal that are no longer available. Many open issues are essentially ad-hoc discussion threads or feature requests that are a better fit for the community forum. Perhaps most importantly, many of these issues lack debug logs, descriptions, and the steps that would be necessary to understand and reproduce the reported behavior.

This example is not entirely equivalent. My understanding is that the opinion of the court was that authorisation (for the definition of "without permission") cannot be decided based on method of access. I.e. if you have granted a user access to data, you can't later say they accessed it without permission because they used a proxy or bot to access it (in violation of your TOS).

A terms of service can not define law, but it can make explicit what data a provider is authorising a user to access.
I though we already had such a service, used by top-level government executives.
Usually Russia don't play that smart. Wondering how would they replace those services.

I wasn't suggesting that the ideologies are identical, just that they share those elements.

And no, the hatred does not go both ways, but you might think so because another big part of modern Republican ideology is victimization and resentment. Which are also powerful dangerous forces historically.

If his carelessness meant communicating that you could take the ring without stealing it (say placing it in the donation basket instead of his wallet), that would absolve you of your crime.

If developers that want their free apps to be uploaded to iTunes don't want to pay the fee I can try to propose a solution.

A collective of similar individuals can pay for one iTunes account and share it between all involved. There can be a entry process for others willing to join as well. Of course, there are a few negatives:

- the account agent account has the keys to this. It would have to be someone highly trusted, but perhaps it can be down to a vote to determine the role. At first, it can simply be whoever starts this.

- if iTunes decides to shut down the account, the all eggs in one basket approach would shutdown all of the apps

- maintenance of distribution keys/provisionings may be a hassle depending on the roles regular members have in this (non-admins can't create iTunes Distribution provisionings)

- The "see all apps created by this dev" feature may show seemingly unrelated apps

I'm sure there's more I can't think of, but I still think it's doable.

It privileges long time titleholders over newcomers, in addition to the basic problem of land speculation being exacerbated, allowing random titleholders to capture even more of the gains of surrounding economic development that they, in their role as titleholder, played no necessary role in.

In fact, by effectively being a tollbooth operator upon the prerequisites for economic development they are an active hindrance. Land titles are necessary, but it is not necessary that they keep the land rent, only the improvement values that they are responsible for.
Yes. That's so common I didn't even think it necessary to mention.

The law just requires a way to contact a person within of a few days, and a way to be able to get the person behind a site to be able to sue them.

My professor-of-sanskrit friend chimes in:

The Germans were deep into Pannini in the 1800s, and the Russians were as well.

The spam won't go away. Once your address is out there it will stay out there (unless you change your email address).

Those email lists only tend to get longer, never shorter, I still see spam sent to addresses I haven't used in years (and backlink spam requests for websites that haven't been alive since the 90's!).

It doesn't. But it's an easy action step that could be organized en masse for people who aren't knowledgeable enough to properly secure their routers in the first place that might temporarily deter these kinds of attacks. I don't know, realistically it might only set attackers back by hours or days, but it could also be used to study how attacks propogate through the system and to raise awareness and educate people about properly securing their routers.

Unfortunately one can't beat physics.

If you need reach and magnification, for example at an airshow, then you need a long lens with a lot of glass. At that point the weight of the camera becomes irrelevant.

If you just need a couple of primes for street shooting then just about any camera manufacturer will sell you something small and lightweight. Fuji don't have any particular light-attracting or gravity-defeating magic.

I can think of a few companies that will be glad to take on this contract (and it's most likely the same companies that made these mines).

The FSB wants encryption keys. Telegram won't share, so is blocked. Therefore, Whatsapp and Viber gave up their keys, I suppose. Or provided backdoors.
Ask HN: How do think about hierarchies in terms of vectors, dimensions?
I'm not a mathematician so this is not rigorous by any stretch.

so too me a dimension is a the same as a datatype which is the same as a feature. a point is a record which is an object. a space is all the possibility unconstrained in multiple dimensions. a projection is an object along less dimensions. which is also an abstraction. so how do hierarchies fit into it? a lot of structured data seems to be in hierarchies and graphs. Languages, paths, folders, etc. is there an intuitive way to think about graphs and hierarchies and spaces?
Where are the free services? And are they really free, or are they silently included in the domain cost? I’ve yet to see anyone beat Namecheap’s $13.75 for .com (2nd year onwards, with protection).

Tests and CI help you make sure that functionality actually works, that buttons you press have the desired effect, and that if I as a contributor ship you a pull request for a UX/feature improvement, both your and me can check that it doesn't break anything before merging.

The grandparent poster also wrote about security/privacy, for which I think tests are pretty important.

Finally, having CI would allow the developers/contributors with limited time to spend more time on usability and usefulness instead of on issues like "master doesn't build, anybody else have this problem?" (when I wanted to PR something to Signal, master did not build).

I think the short answer: It depends.

In some cases it's not enough to register the domain on a legal entity, it needs to be a person, and that person needs to exist in the company and needs to be contactable. You cannot get around this with EV certifications.
If you rely on your visitors to phone you when your website is down you are doing something very wrong.
If it's so remarkable that you were reminded why you prefer spaces over tabs, presumably since the thing you're doing doesn't happen very often, maybe you shouldn't prefer spaces over tabs.

I edit code in an editor way, way more often than look at it on GitHub. Every day when I edit code indented with spaces and my various editors don't correctly handle every edge-case for backspacing, de-denting, etc. I am reminded why I prefer tabs over spaces. It's such a common event for me that I probably wouldn't remark on it without some prompting.

The founder of Telegram has just put this in his public Telegram channel - https://t.me/durov:

"For the last 24 hours Telegram has been under a ban by internet providers in Russia. The reason was our refusal to provide encryption keys to Russian security agencies. For us, this was an easy decision. We promised our users 100% privacy and would rather cease to exist than violate this promise.

Despite the ban, we haven’t seen a significant drop in user engagement so far, since Russians tend to bypass the ban with VPNs and proxies. We also have been relying on third-party cloud services to remain partly available for the rest of our users.

Thank you for your support and loyalty, Russian users of Telegram. Thank you, Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft – for not taking part in political censorship.

Russia accounts for ~7% of the Telegram user base, and even if we lose that entire market, Telegram’s organic growth in other regions will compensate for this loss within a couple of months. However, it is personally important for me to make sure we do everything we can for our Russian users.

To support internet freedoms in Russia and elsewhere I started giving out bitcoin grants to individuals and companies who run socks5 proxies and VPN. I am happy to donate millions of dollars this year to this cause, and hope that other people will follow. I called this Digital Resistance – a decentralized movement standing for digital freedoms and progress globally."
Viaweb, oneweb etc do this. And it may be an operational challenge, not nothing revolutionary
The fact of the matter is in a best case scenario, 10% of these buildings are going to collapse in a major earthquake. 10% of the newest, shiniest, up to code buildings. Best case, that's the engineering code, that's the spec. They are designed to collapse 10% of the time.

In reality many more will collapse, because some buildings are older and not up to code, as well as earthquakes generally just being weird and unpredictable.

Do you think 10% of buildings collapsing is a "loose" or "tight" code? 10% losses is acceptable in say, human habitation?
This makes me curious – remember back in the oughts where SETI@Home and Folding@Home were popular? Were those adapted for GPUs and saw a huge acceleration in calculations?

IIRC the proper way to handle that is by anchoring the foundation of the building to the bedrock underneath the layers which can undergo liquefaction. That's done by means of drilling as deep as necessary to put the foundation and then adding pylons on which the building rests.

Depending on how deep the liquefaction-prone layers go, that's could be an option that's realistic only for a high rise.

It is ironic that North Korea and South Korea have been officially at war since 1950, while there are have been thousands of military conflicts in the world since then without a war being officially declared.

It doesn't work for me. Editing a file isn't nearly enough friction to dissuade me. Even more advanced blocking programs didn't work for me. Instead of spending time browsing the internet, I spent lots of time figuring out how to circumvent the blocker. No work was done either way.
So it's "microservices" now?

Mongols figured out around year 1200 that in a proper military organization, you have one boss and maximum of about 10 subordinates and 10 peers. Though it was already written about by Sun Tzu way earlier. Chain of command ought to be clear from private to general. Romans had earlier found out that a group of about 100 men is good department size for day to day operations. (Roughly the Dunbar number of the least capable members of the group.)

Then commercial companies noticed that they don't have to abide to military hierarchy. But they didn't notice the underlying biological tendencies. As a result every second industry fad is reinventing the same social structure over and over again.

Factory with departments -> open plan office -> teams -> matrix organization -> sprints -> (I lost track here) -> microservice?

Every company has problems. If the biggest problem is poor flow of information between departments/teams, then that company has competitive advantage to the guys who have some serious issues.
As an architect in San Francisco, I would definitely prefer to be in a modern high rise here over other buildings for safety purposes during an earthquake. I am highly skeptical of this article as I have in depth knowledge of seismic engineering, the building code and the updates after every earthquake around the world to the code and engineering practices.

The leaning building across from my office, for example, has nothing to do with seismic issues but basic design/engineering/construction flaws in not extending the pile footings deep enough to solid ground as others in the area have such as the new Salesforce tower.
