This is not a realistic expectation. Running a mail server is pretty difficult, especially if you're doing it on some public cloud offering. Even just keeping your IP off of blacklists can be frustrating and time consuming.

Highly recommend letting someone else deal with that problem. I've been happily using Migadu (https://www.migadu.com/) for a while. Maybe that's a good solution for you too.
And it has happened before.

And it's not widespread.
Meet the New Microsoft Phone, Powered by Android (No Windows Required)
I'm 34 - my first smartphone was an iPhone 3G. I upgraded through the 3GS and 4, then moved to Android and didn't come back until the iPhone X.

The X's interface is so different from my old 4 that it took a few days to get adjusted, but I can honestly say that I like it better now. I can't think of anything I miss about Android at this point.
I really don't look forward to trying to politely explain why I don't like having my face uploaded into the facial recognition/person-tracking system that will involve.

Basically need a dictatorship to pull this off. No environmental checks, no vetos or petitions. And, as correctly pointed out in another comment - building greenfield is one thing. Maintaining and expanding is a whole other ballgame. Just like refactoring a legacy code base which is in heavy production use.

But it doesn't matter what their "normal process" for digitizing is, because there's a law that says that they have to provide the requested information and restricts the kinds of expenses they can pass on to them.

So, sure, their "normal process" would say, "If this is to get digitized, we need to make sure that it will go into our existing system of digitized records, and it has to meet these standards of quality, and it has to have three people review it to make sure the OCR got done properly" etc etc.

But that's what it would take to get it into their system. Not what it would take to provide the records to the requestor.

If the requirements of the law can be satisfied and the requestor is happy to accept a simple scan costing a few thousand, the state doesn't get to say "we'll only do it by our full six-month six-figure process."
You should probably get a lawyer.
Wishful thinking. Despite privacy cannons from the media, people still don't care, they don't even bother to ask governments to stop spying on them.
> If everything was evaluated by cybersecurity and UX experts first, we wouldn’t have half the problems

That's an extremely brash assumption. The reason privacy and security haven't been built into the core of everything we do is because the ease of use within highly secure systems is inversely proportional to it's UX. The more secure you want something to be, the harder it is to learn and use.
> must be really telling something positive about this language and its community.

It's because it's the new shiny thing. This basically used to be a ruby on rails post-it board, then C# for a while, then Java when Java 8 Streams were announced, then Go, etc.

I am not saying it's a bad thing -- in fact I can't wait to go through that "write an OS in Rust" blog that was posted here earlier -- but no I don't think it's telling of anything quite yet.
"Dictatorship of the proletariat" is not a phase, the same way the dictatorship of bourgeoisie was/is not a phase. (also sidenote Marx used the word "dictatorship" a vastly different way than we use it today).

> because even Marx believed there needed to be a phase to transition

This is [[citation needed]] (if you're thinking of low phase communism, high phase communism (C. of Gotha Program), this is vastly misunderstood, so I could explain this in details but this is not a good argument is all I can say now). As I said, this doesn't make sense inside the framework of Marxism, since it only makes sense to classify societies based on material grounds, not idealistic grounds. So, the fundamental thesis of Marx is that society exists completely independent of politics, power hierarchies, ideas etc... You can disagree with this, but you cannot argue about Marx with semi-understanding of his thesis. The only time we can talk about a societal stage is when the economic structure changes, and these changes are well-defined, well-understood inside the framework of Marxism. As I keep repeating myself, Marxism claims there are fundamental "forces of nature" that make capitalism possible inside society (just like photons make light possible). While this force of nature is still alive, it doesn't make sense to say this society is not capitalistic. DotP is one possible way socialism can be achieved, it's not a stage as Marx intentionally does not explain the economic structure of such a society (it would be idealistic and inherently anti-Marxist).

In my experience in the internet most people argue about Marxism from his idealist "supporters" like Stalin or Mao, but such ideas rarely have much relation to both tradition Marxism (Marxian) or modern academic Marxism (world systems etc).

Don't know, depends on the country.
I can give you an example from Europe. Switzerland is one of the highest income highest cost countries in Europe. If it weren't for different regulations mandating Swiss level salaries for foreign workers, import tariffs, taxes (and probably a bunch of other stuff I don't even know about), it would easily be possible to pay only 10-20% for a prefab compared to a non-prefab.
I definitely cook this way sometimes, although not with butter. But say I have a recipe that calls for 1 kg of chicken and I have 1.25 kg. I'm going to use all that chicken and scale everything else up by a factor of 1.25, rather than being stuck with that extra 250 g of chicken.

Of course, this only works if you don't mind having too much food. I like leftovers (I get to eat without having to cook!) so it works for me.

The Battlestar Galactica was the only ship in the fleet that hadn't networked its computers, because the captain was paranoid. When the Cylons (AI) attacked, they instantly hacked all the other ships, but the Galactica stayed under human control and got away.

It's fiction, but I'm honestly really impressed with this bit of writing. It's both an entirely plausible and almost realistic strategy, and it gives the writers an excuse for the crew members to interact rather than let the computer do everything. Whereas on Star Trek one wonders why they bother with a bridge crew -- the captain might as well be punching everything into a computer directly rather than inefficiently giving orders to humans.
Setting a moon base would teach us things quite a lot faster than going to Mars because of the distance and close proximity to earth. The moon is different than Mars, i know, but Mars would come up next after this. I think space travel would be much easier if started from a moon base due to the low gravity. A disaster on Mars would delay this project by a few centuries. Let's make small firm steps.

I'm pretty excited about this. I've wanted a big CNC machine to be able to cut plywood parts. But I lack the 10'x6' area to put one in. I can set up on saw horses in the driveway and cut away. As I get waste on one end I can hack that section off so I'm not reaching across the entire plywood sheet.

Even more crazy when you consider how many people never play the lotto.

However, I think that's the gross spend. If a lotto system has a lot of little prizes it could inflate those numbers quickly. You might not win the $1.6B, but if your tickets win $1 or $2 on a regular basis then your net outlay could be quite a bit less.

Effectively each ticket might only cost $0.25 instead of $1 because you get $0.75 back on average. On this chart it would look like you spent the full $1 each time because it doesn't include winnings.
This is not just "journalistic style". It is a specific journalistic style of many possible ones; and I find it annoying in its repetitiveness. It might be fun to read an article like this the first or second time; by the third one you start to discern the pattern, and starts to realize that all the stuffing with pointless details and the rambling exposition are always the same. A writer can entertain his/ her readers with insightful remarks, wittiness, or great descriptive passages- but very little if none of these are to be found here: these articles show no particular talent, or focus, they all follow a very obvious scheme and sound as if they were all written by the same dull person. Come on, journalism can be much better than this.

A few thoughts:

1) (Putting on my black hat) Attackers don't care about bugs or exploits. They care about running their code on your system. Whether that is as simple as mysqldump or wget'ng a monero cryptominer to run on there it all is based on the premise that the monolithic operating system (whose design is ~50 years old and linux is > 27 years old) is explicitly designed to run multiple programs by multiple users. Keep in mind this design pre-dates commercialized virtualization (eg: vmware) and pre-date "cloud" (eg: aws). If we assume that you are already utilizing VMs (and you are if you are on any public cloud and you are in most private on-prem deployments) the VM then becomes your isolation model. Can you still attack the underlying infrastructure? Sure - but if you can root GCE or AWS I'd say we all have some serious thinking to do on the current state of cloud infrastructure. Contrast and compare that to all the ridiculous headlines you see every single day and the fact that every single RCE that is worth doing entails forking/execve a new process. It's one thing to have the instruction pointer - it's quite another to launch a shell that doesn't exist, link your program to libraries that don't exist, as a user that doesn't exist, download new code when you can't.... etc.

2) Not to belabor this point but side-channel attacks affect everyone and Intel has been taking the hard (in terms of market) approach of simply disabling hyper-threading on some of their hardware.

Security is the number one selling point for unikernels imo.

There's an old sci-fi idea, that if I recall Carl Sagan agreed with, that we should be working to colonize Venus now (which I believe "now" meant the 1970s at the time), because worst case if the greenhouse effect spirals out of control unstoppably (as climate change predictions have feared since the 1970s), surviving on Earth is going to be the same problem as colonizing Venus.
Big churches that are charismatic and feel like concert venues (The Rock Church here in San Diego for instance) I don't feel are necessarily bad.

I had already issues with the GPL v2/3 concept of linking and the fact that the project linking to a GPL license should also be under a compatible license.

They have a huge infrastructure of fixed hardware, of course (their phones have to talk to something) and certifying & deploying that requires plenty of EEs and a surprising amount of hardware development (and getting in deep with their vendors).

Things have changed since I was a supplier to that industry but it used to be that the carriers really did certify the terminals. GSM (well, the SIM requirement), and then in the US the iPhone, changed that so I don't know how that end works today.

In addition T-mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom which does still do quite a bit of hardware development, though I'm not sure how close the links there are.

Regarding longer software update promises, a good number of recent Motorola phones are on either the Android One or Android Enterprise Recommended lists, so they should get security updates for at least 3 years from launch and see at least 1 or 2 Android letter OS upgrades.

The Android Enterprise Recommended "rugged" devices get at least 5 years of security updates, which is quite good, although Motorola doesn't make any "rugged" devices currently.

Android is getting there and this announcement of factory repair parts through iFixit is awesome to see. It's probably not as easy to repair a Motorola phone as a Fairphone, but it's getting better which is the important part.
Simple commands like this can also just be invoked with Siri. So difficulty with navigability to find the option is becoming less and less of a problem.

I agree it's bad, bad for tourism, bad for the economy and bad for the culture exchange.

It's not just because it's shiny. Rust happens to (a) be a great fit for the parts of WebAssembly that have been implemented so far (partly because it doesn't need GC), and (b) have done a really good job of building WebAssembly tooling with nicer ergonomics than other languages.
But depending on which "cloud platform" you're using, you're drifting back towards centralisation again.

Possibly the most important change that my previous post alluded to was that everyone's ISP used to bundle some basic web space in the same way that they bundled a basic email account and ran their own Usenet server. You automatically had a web site if you just ticked the "on" box, and you could upload your content with a simple FTP transfer. Many ISPs provided some "my first web site" level instructions to get you started on building things yourself, even with the inevitable "under construction" graphic.

Sadly, those days are mostly gone. With the rise of centralised hosting (sorry, "cloud") services, ISPs seem to have backed away from including those kinds of secondary facilities in their typical plans, except for maybe email addresses. And so now, it is mostly only larger organisations and the geeks and enthusiasts who self-host in any meaningful sense, and everyone else is hosting their basic business site on Facebook, their blog on Medium or WP, their geek-friendly site on GitHub, their vlog on YouTube, etc.
