> Yes they are? Alternative apps use the official API, their internal services use their internal API's, which are also likely versioned. So if the internal DM API has an upgrade, the website can change to the new version while the mobile app is using the previous version.

I think we might be speaking about different things. My original point was that reverse-engineering Twitter's private APIs (used by the first-party app) is not as difficult to do or maintain as the parent suggested. My reasoning was that for the foreseeable future there will be legitimate users on non-updated clients, forcing Twitter to choose between disabling those clients or letting your 'cloning' of those apps' API calls continue to function.

> This is the weirdest thing you've said in a whole lot of weird things. YT proved how powerful it was via demonetization of so many creators videos. Nobody could do anything about it, primarily because the real power behind YT is that creators don't have an alternative, not users.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not speaking about creators-vs-YT, but consumers-vs-YT in terms of anti-user restrictions in the YT app and website. Issues that grey area tools alleviate and therefore provide the only effective check on YT's ability to take them further. Just as abusive ads and tracking has caused a jump in adblock usage. The harder it gets to enjoy YT content through the first-party app, the more people will take the time to discover alternatives.

The concept generalizes to Twitter or YT or any platform (or creative industry) that achieves ubiquity or monopoly. Even if you disagree, maybe it sounds less 'weird'.
Deliberately and knowingly made decision that hurts already barely existing competition is not an innocent polyfill mistake. It's more like policy level abuse of dominant position to transition users to Chrome from non-Chrome browsers.

As others have said, they are looking for reasons why you need somebody with advanced degree/training/experience for the job. How the applicant's degree will be used on a day to day basis. For example, given a transcript, how will the experience from the courses listed be used? Provide details for other employees with the same job title. For example, if the roles and responsibilities include production support, provide ticket counts and some summary info. An example "day in the life" for the job, task by task and hour by hour. The RFE guidance will differ because it is a recommendation from your legal team on what you should provide to get the application through.
Being unable to prove a companies claims yourself != company lieing.

A year ago, they posted on Reddit: "Audits have been done, about one per year usually. Cyberkov has done 3 audits since 2014 (they recommend it for their activities with Palestinian activists, so security audits are necessary)"

Do you claim that the independent security firm Cyberkov is lying too?

With the preponderance of evidence they've provided (security audits, open source, and transparency into how everything works), if you're saying that this is a big scam and they're lying about everything, it's really up to you now to provide some evidence.
How can you ever know someone's intent? I don't think it makes sense to assume malice in this case.

- Because YT makes money on eyeballs and runs on every terrible device specific browser under the sun. Making users experience worse intentionally only really hurts them.

- Because we're in a forum of devs that are all about chasing the latest features and polyfilling everywhere that doesn't have them -- it's practically SOP. I totally believe performance problems like this wouldn't get caught in testing when everyone has a corp network connection and powerful laptops/workstations.
There's a simple work around for visa hell in the US: move your (tech) business to Europe. Lots of talent, lower employee costs, liberal immigration laws, choice of legal and tax jurisdictions. Really, it's got it all.
I think you're just arguing it doesn't solve problems that it never claimed to solve.

It's just an ISA, not an implementation design, yes. What's wrong with a nicely designed new, extensible, royalty-free ISA? Seems like a useful thing to me.

What's the difference between this and other U2F security keys? Are these just a Google-branded U2F keys, functionally identical to those from Yubico?
I agree that providing it encrypted is better, which is what all of our APIs require. That said, you are mistaken that saving the cleartext for unencrypted mail benefits us at all. It most certainly doesn't--the incentives between the provider and users are well-aligned here.
Trivial proof. Pigeon hole principle.

Double-precision Floats have more values between 0.0 and 1.0, than between 1.0 and 2.0. In fact, roughly half of ALL double-precision floats exist between -1.0 and 1.0, a very small minority of them exist between 1.0 and 2.0.

To generate unbiased random numbers between 0.0 and 2.0, it therefore requires you to either reject a significant amount of numbers in the 0.0 to 1.0 range, or perform some kind of many-to-few mapping in the 1.0 to 2.0 range.

----------

With regards to arbitrary INTEGER ranges, the proof is even easier. A random bitstream has 2^number-of-bits possible random values. Which does NOT divide evenly into an arbitrary integer range.

For example, 5-random bits will represent 32-different values. There's no way to map 32-values and divide them evenly into 0-9 (10 numbers).

I work for one of the big semicon and there is effort in the industry/our company to replace ARM with RISC-V. It is currently in the trial phase right now where I think the low-end would be tackled first to do a pipe-cleaning of the design flow and as a proof of concept. Once that's done (don't know how long) the big desktop cores will probably follow and then server. I don't know if it will play out that way but that's probably how it's being sold by VPs in order to get funding.
I feel stupid for asking this, but what if you lose your key?
Is there a way to encrypt message headers while using IMAP?

My understanding of Protonmail's argument (not that I agree with it) is they encrypt the full message, including headers upon accepting it. Based on my understanding of IMAP, you're effectively looking at a new protocol once you do everything needed to decrypt headers on the client-side.
You mean webcomponents? I'll study this. Thanks for the suggestion!
No, because with BSD license companies are free to withhold their code.

NeXT was never about UNIX, rather the foundation libraries, UI Builder and everything that was possible to do with Objective-C, including writing device drivers.

UNIX compatibility was a way to embrace the software of the blooming market of UNIX workstation startups, and fill a checkmark on the requirements list.
I can't speak for the US, but most European banks I've seen require 2FA for almost any non-read-only action. You need either an app, or a tiny machine that authenticates against your (chip) debit card.

Login is still just password, though, but there's only so much damage you can do.
In many cases that is possible when the dig was financed by another institution. The 4000 yo Egyptian "dioramas" they have on display at the met have been split between NYC and Cairo, because it was an American-led archaeological survey that found them.
Yeah, that's an understandable objection. We need to work on our value prop for customers who already have systems deployed. The switching costs aren't that bad, but there's a question of "why wake a sleeping monster" by messing with it.

Totally worth trying it out for Android. In a lot of ways, Android is a bigger pain than iOS on the server side. Feel free to ping me on Intercom or email jacob@revenuecat.com if you want tips on how to implement it.

>But we're implementing the W3C Web Authentication (webauthn) spec and you can already use it in Chrome in place of U2F.

How are users going to differentiate between a webauthn permission request and a webusb permission request? The later can be used for phishing attacks, which appears to defeat the entire purpose of having a U2F key.

When they claim to provide secure email, what benefit do they gain from lying to all their users and potentially being discovered and the blowback from that?

It's great that you aren't taking things at straight face value, but they have very little benefit from doing what you say they could hypothetically do and an incredibly amount of risk and potential to blow up in their faces. In business terms, it's a ludicrous proposition to actually do what you claim they could do.

At the end of the day, you can claim all the hypotheticals in the world, but do you have any proof that they're actually doing anything remotely like what you say they could be? Because I haven't seen anything that would come even close to the scenarios in your hypotheticals.
Headers are not encrypted in OpenPGP and not in ProtonMail. Message and attachment content is.
I was not aware. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Its not Jim Bell's Assassination Politics but we're getting there.
>We don't store copies of plaintext emails indefinitely

We have to take your word for it. Genuinely secure systems don't require trust. Now, I think this feature is a genuinely good one and applaud you for it, but I've seen Protonmail reps lean on it as an excuse for why they can't support IMAP and SMTP, which is nonsense. I also think that users should be educated about the difference between security guarantees (which this isn't) and security promises (which this is).

Your incentives may be aligned in a way that means you'll want to avoid storing plaintext email, but it's entirely possible you could be compelled by your government to secretly start siphoning off plaintext. This is why it's necessary to design systems which don't ask for trust at all, and to educate users on the limitations of encrypting incoming emails.
> Are you saying that the only reason people would want threading capabilities is to exploit multicore/multiprocessor architectures?

That's exactly what I was saying, though, specifically, kernel threading support.

> Having multiple threads for GUI applications makes sense for responsiveness even on a single-core machine.

I had never heard this before, but I'm hardly an expert. Is there something you could point to, ideally pre-MP (or pre-MP-popularity), that advocates for kernel thread support being needed for improved GUI responsiveness.

Europe certainly brought their problems to their colonies: they exported their religious extremists, criminals and brought their need to profit, proselytize and conquer with them.

Considering the same pressures are behind space colonization as were behind colonization of old, I find your concerns as merely speculation based in fantasy and not history.

> but what if "here" is the problem?

The same "here" that is humanity's proverbial garden of Eden? Food grows out of the ground, an atmosphere can exist and it's breathable and, until relatively recently, we didn't have to worry too much about the Sun's radiation destroying our own biological processes.

If "here" is the problem, and the solution is a dry, cold rock that's millions of miles away without any signs of life, we're truly doomed.

> If the Pilgrims had stayed in England and the Netherlands, they wouldn't have been able to fix what they considered to be "the problem" no matter how hard they tried

The problems pilgrims face were those of religious persecution. The problems we face as whole are truly existential, we're in the process of changing our planet for the worse.

The same forces that are driving the destruction of our planet are driving space colonization. I don't see any evidence to the contrary.
Soybeans are a national security issue.
On the other hand, I'm sitting here perfectly happy with my $90-$100 i3 at home, which would not have been as cheap without price bucketing and all the people buying expensive i7s and server chips subsidizing the R&D.

Do I ever use more than 2 cores? Rarely.

Oh actually it has 4 cores, guess that changed with the newer chips.
I find D to be a good tradeoff between C++ and Rust. I can't stand not having compile-time evaluation, code generation and reflection in Rust and C++ is just too slow to iterate with.

We were discussing the removal of these systems. In a spectrum with no plea system/cash bail on one side and the American system on the other, those countries are much closer to us then no plea/cash bail side. I stand by my statement that "Canada and England work very similarly with pleas reducing sentencing, the vast majority of cases not going to trial, and a cash bail system."

The rest of your post just goes back to my previous comment about max sentences. If we reduce the max sentence for that hypothetical crime from 20 years to 3 years, then our system would be the same in that people who plead guilty would receive two thirds the sentence that those found guilty at trial.

Also, one of the reasons that the UK is able to handle this increased case workload (although a majority of cases are still plead down) is they spend a relatively high amount per capita when compared with other countries. Once again, I am not against a holistic change that reforms the whole justice system. But doing away with the plea system doesn't have the benefits that you suggest and has various downsides that you are skipping over.
It's funny to see this here—I've been a MEGA FAN of Falstad for many years now, and I use this and many of his other tools in every single one of my classes. If y'all don't know about this site, he's made SO MANY incredibly excellent and informative tools it boggles the mind.

Seriously people, this guy is a freaking genius. I want to meet him just so I can shake his hand, thank him, and buy him about a million beers.
It's a symptom of a greater problem, which is that Google (the search engine) owns Chrome, Youtube, Android, Maps, Gmail, and a whole host of other services that are tenuously linked at best (outside of the fact that all the data gets fed into advertising algorithms)

Quite frankly, the company should be broken up forcibly by the government. All of these services should be profitable on their own, not used as loss leaders to grab as much ad data as possible and stamp out any sort of competition.
This is completely ignoring key management as a barrier to using encryption, not to mention manually syncing local keystore with the server, not being able to provision keys across devices, etc. In other words, why PGP and email encryption in general has largely been a failure over multiple decades. It's too complex and too difficult.

The element they used is sodium:

Probably a factor. The money coming into Intel from the PC biz probably dwarfed Motorola's, leading to much bigger R&D budgets.
Using genetic data to find new drugs strikes me as a very good use of this data. Medical data is essential to the process of finding new drugs and treating patients and is highly regulated.

I think you're right to be concerned about sharing of genetic data, but conflating facebook / google data sharing practices with medical data sharing is not appropriate

If the concern is that 23and me may bring the google / FB approach to personal data to healthcare then i share your concern
As I understand it, if you are going to go out of order, a large number of architectural registers is actually a handicap; it costs more resources to map them to physical registers.

Given that, was it the right choice to go with thirty-two architectural integer registers? Sixteen registers would be mostly adequate, and would seem to make it easier to implement out of order. What am I missing?
Compiling Chromium, the biggest C++ project I know, takes on the order of 8 hours with a somewhat old but quite powerful server. Linking Chromium on my laptop, with 8GB of RAM, required me to increase my swap space from 8GB to 16GB.

Going away from C's linker and header file-model, which really doesn't work well for C++, to something based on a proper module system, would be amazing.
Those are arguments in favor of this design choice. What are the arguments against it?
Plenty of other risks. Once you get into the X million+ sample ranges false positives for paternity tests or criminal cases become likely.

> He notes that YouTube "still serves the pre-Polymer design" to Microsoft's Internet Explorer 11, which launched in 2013 and has been replaced by Edge, and suggests that Google could have taken the same approach with Edge and Firefox.

Okay, but without new features? Does the pre-polymer design served to IE maintain feature-parity with the shadow DOM (or its' polyfill equivalent)? Because YouTube never _seemed_ slow to me on FIrefox, but I'd hate to miss new features.

>They own your email

Bring your own domain. I'm doing that and it works perfectly fine.

>they don't support open protocols including SMTP and IMAP

Use the bridge, that supports SMTP and IMAP just fine. I even managed to make it run on my server and basically abuse that for login via VPN (though I stopped because running the X server for that got annoying)

>the only way to export your emails is through a proprietary end-user application.

They're working on an import/export tool. In the meantime, use the IMAP bridge and any sane IMAP backup tool like I do.

>it's a scam

I wouldn't call it a scam, nobody is taking the money and running off with it or not giving you what they advertise. You do get encrypted mail, you do get a lot more security than most people with simple SMTP or IMAP, atleast the average user.

I think your description is a bit dishonest or atleast biased.

I think you should, in this forum and in contacts with Google, absolutely push for a stronger protocol. However, in this case, we really want to have Google’s weight to push for having everyone with access to anything remotely sensitive use 2FA and U2F: doctors, repairmen, accountants, etc.

Could Google take 99% of the market against Yubico? Probably, but I doubt the remaining 18 of the 20 companies quoted would want to depend even more on Google. More to the point, I expect that the remaining 1% will be bigger than Yubico current quasi-monopoly.
