The Billion Dollar Spy by David E. Hoffman.
This point has been acknowledged since day one though, and it is not a point specific to ProtonMail. Any E2EE service that has a webapp is susceptible to this, and that's essentially all E2EE services out there.

The only way to address this point, with current technology and current standards, is to discontinue the webapp and force everybody to the native apps on desktop and mobile. It is the opinion of almost everybody in the industry that webapps are necessary, and that's why we, WhatsApp, etc, all provide webapps.

So the point is acknowledged (and has always been acknowledged), but the opinion being expressed (remove the webapp) is not something that we agree with.
You're not worried your profile could come across as pretentious?
This is excellent. Just signed up for community.
Are you currently in charge of the UK government, by any chance? I only ask, because presumably someone has to be and it doesn't look like it is the people on the telly.
I've seen humans deal with novel situations. The only assumption needed is that humans and AI are subject to the same laws of nature (that is, that there is no supernatural / outside element to human intelligence)
I could argue the same about physicists not working on FTL. Or medical research on non-life threatening diseases. It's a bit unfair.
Why call those 23c tyres "cheap"? Why mention price at all? Ride comfort is a function of tyre size, not tyre price. You can buy very "exclusive" expensive 23c tyres, pump them up to 7 atm. and have just as hard a ride as the person who just overtook you on his "cheap" 23c tyres.

That "magic carpet" ride does come at a price but it is not monetary: the softer the tyre, the more resistance and with that the slower the ride.
It is normal political procedure to have an aweful initial proposal so that amendments seem like a lesser evil, while still being bad.

I doubt we really have a need to act on these issues in the first place and that was explicitly not the goal of those who initiated this proposal. You just need to take a look at who proposed it.

So the question about illegal content is completely misplaced.
Have you tried modern classical? In particular the likes of Jurg Frey and Radu Malfatti, who are known for very well crafted use of silence.
Yes, in fact, that's why it's good that Mozilla's on top of this early in the process. Let's hope they manage to remove the problematic parts they outline in this post.

When you say "quickly", do you also mean "within the hour"? If so, what about a small webhost that gets abused?

I think the shortest period that's considered quick enough and would at least make somewhat sense is "before something manages to spread widely", but that's still murky and still has many problematic practical concerns.
I wish DI would fix how they choose to master music. They normalize the audio range (decrease the dynamic range, or compress it) to such a loud level that it makes it fatiguing.

I have compared their copies of the music to the originals, and the originals were already 'loudness war' loud, there was no reason to do this further.

However, I don't think they'll ever change because DI has been this way for the past 20 years (they celebrate their 20th in December 2019).
I think it is an intentional double entendre
Yes, no silver bullet. But most of my use case I find a generic pattern so I don't check the individual edits. Anything more complex I'll switch to macros.

Btw, I meant undo like global undo which will let you undo the last keypress for all of the cursors. In your case, you meant undo for a particular instance of change I guess.

Also, let's say there is different character after _

foo_bar -> fooBar
baz_car -> bazCar
some_thing -> someThing

Maybe you can do this with regex. but for a new user, he has to look it up. With multiple-cursors, you don't even have to think about it.

However, you can use a macro.
Wealth, class and attractiveness too right? Then we can work on height, personality type and start breaking ethnicity into appearance, genetics, accent, place of birth, place where you grew up, same for your parents. Make sure we're equalized across all of those then we can go back and iterate on more fractions.
Presumably they're not investigating de Putron because it is clear what the source of his donations is (he has a lot of money and owns a profitable quant trading firm).
Adtech could finally need a Real Consent. What does the French regulation state?
> Also pretty sure they named the company Oath so that people would think "oh this is another OAuth permission box, OK".

I think that's just developer bias. "OAuth" is not a thing non-developers know, even by name.
Source? I am a EU citizen, My freedom of speech is only inhibited when I incite to violence or discriminate. That is because it is illegal to do, seems fair.

That looks like what you would get if you asked it to install in the same directory you downloaded it to.

It would try to copy lib/ into itself, resulting in your "lib/tke/lib/tke/lib/tke/..." mess.

Like:

$ mkdir lib
$ mkdir lib/tke
$ tclsh
% file copy lib lib/tke/lib
error copying "lib" to "lib/tke/lib": "lib/tke/lib/tke/[cut off long string here]": file name too long

Specify a root directory other than the current directory and it should work.

I wonder if tcl should disallow copying a directory into itself.

Edit: I opened a bug report for tcl: https://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview/82049f96f841214bb8cee18e1bf8...

Law enforcement is is routinely conducted by government agencies, including on these issues, nothing new here.

E.g., in most EU countries with relevant laws, 'illegal content' in public spaces may be removed (with your being arrested) by the police. Then the courts are involved.

Same here, it seems. Courts would be involved, and not only re. penalties: " Effective judicial remedies will also be provided by national authorities and platforms and content providers will have the right to challenge a removal order."

5 Important Things to Know About Product Design
I know how big the galaxy is, but I also know how much a billion years is, and how fast exponential growth grows.

Of course a civilisation won't be able to keep growing exponentially for ever; pretty soon only the outer rim will have anything nearby to colonise. But still, a billion years is a lot.

But if colonies don't grow up to colonise other planets, you're stuck with linear growth, which is never going to be enough.
How to Know You Are Spending Too Much Time on Facebook
The rise of outspoken fascists and racists is precisely what makes me question whether "free speech at all costs" is a wise political stance, especially when it is patently obvious that the creators of that content are not everyday people, but an entity intent on inciting hatred and violence.
None the less I do recognize the danger of limiting free speech.

Leave it to The Register to clickbait the research. This is nothing new btw. Side-channel attacks on other tabs have been known for more than a decade, and is one of the legitimate reasons why the NoScript plugin was developed, among others.

Micropayment does not work on user end because the number of times it prompts the users. Example[1]. For me, it hinders the experience of reading. This would be even more problematic on the sites I have been on for the first time.

The problem with one player covering costs for all publishers is the monopoly it brings. Also, sounds more like cable, where there is a cost to access 100s of sites on the internet. Moreover, the users are not convinced to pay for one site they use, do you think they will be convinced to pay/donate for 100s of sites they have not even heard of? If it is forced as a package, then it is exactly like cable.

I am not saying it cant work, but would require a lot of work to convince the users to pay. Also you are covering for not just the server costs, but publication's staff costs, business costs, which vary over time. With just one time lifetime payment, they are in a bound themselves.

> duplicating the source tree

That reminds me that "fork" when used as a verb on GitHub's UI should more accurately be "cloud clone".

GitHub's terminology has muddied the waters between the concept of actual forks (longterm divergent development) and a particular implementation of a permission system for branches.
The time for the EU has passed. Its too decoupled from the real world, too draconian in its approach. It was created for the sole purpose of making cross-border dealings easy within the EU but on it's own initiative its grown into a monster that regulates everything from the amount of cinnamon on buns to blogposts written online.
SOP in Washington. LBJ's escalation of the Vietnam War made his corporate sponsors an absolute fortune.

More recently, Theresa May's backing for military action in Syria pumped the stock price of British Aerospace, which happens to be part-owned by a capital fund that employ's Theresa May's husband.

The real problem with politics is that very few people understand how absolutely amoral and cynical it is. LBJ still had some interest in public service, but for a terrifying number of modern politicians the public service ethos is a fig leaf.

The real morality is narcissism and greed. As long as money keeps rolling in no one cares how it's made or who gets damaged in the process.
US proposal for defining gender has no basis in science
She was not convicted after appeal right? She retained her right to free speech, and the Austrian courts should not convict somebody on these counts. Weird that you link that.

EDIT: It's the total opposite, I apologize. She was convicted for her speech, but the courts found her speech to disrupt the religious peace, and not freedom of opinion. Turns out disrupting religious peace is illegal in Austria, which is a stupid law.

I like the way they are punished:

no fine, but CNIL ordered the firm to delete all data it had
not already deleted (having judged collection illegal given
consent was not valid); and to stop processing data without
consent.

So this is a warning shot to them and the ad industry: If they change the way they do business, they were almost not hurt (There is probably the court costs to pay, plus their defence, plus opportunity costs).

For now, the maximum fines seem to be just that, at least in France: Maxima, only for those who really do not want to mend their ways

If it is not possible with common infrastructure, what do base your estimate on?
Ah, I think I see now. So it's not that you strongly prefer ctes to joins when manually writing sql and creating regular (or materialized) views - but that when writing views that output json, ctes are a natural fit?
of course not. I would morally support any group that comes up and starts assassinating key people who commit crimes against social justice. The RAF had a lot of supporters from all parts of society. I'd never condemn anyone who does that which is my personal way of "cheering"

I think politicians ought to be scared of their populace, and they are the ones that need to be under constant surveillance. And not vice versa.
I wouldn't say caches are evil. Shared caches are.
Agreed, I think of macro as a superset of multiple-cursors. Heck, with macro you can even run arbitrary code to generate text dynamically. I had the pleasure of doing this multiple times.

When people start thinking that the ends justify the means, they forget that outside of maybe death, and people still argue about that, ends are just narrative conveniences and there is only means. And you can't very well have means justifying means, can you?
(S)he is probably touching the problem when all parties that are supposed to be normal would vote for this extreme legislation, and only extremist ones would oppose it; i.e. the problem will be the lack of choice in that matter, caused by parties themselves; a situation similar leading to the election of current US president where many people just voted "in jest" due to not being heard and not having any means to voice their concerns. I am frankly not sure how to address this beside starting an own party and gaining required % support to get into parliament.

Wouldn't it be better to simply motivate the cat to get in the carrier with a can of tuna fish?

This is a very simple form of modeling the cat's mind, using that model to predict its behavior and choosing a course of action that results in the desired outcome. We do this for other humans all day and most of us never resort to brute force. I think it is pretty fair to imagine an AGI that is both better at modeling human minds and better at evaluating possible actions and their outcomes.
L.A. Band Threatin Faked a Fanbase to Land a European Tour No One Attended
Saying that your freedom of speech is only inhibited when you want you say things that are illegal is almost a tautology. Based on your reasoning, it's also "fair" for gay rights activists in Uganda or critics of the king in Thailand to be punished. There are probably thoughtful defences possible of the speech restrictions that exist in EU states, but "suppressing speech is fair because the speech is illegal" isn't one of them.
But the orthogonality thesis isn't just some idea that may or not be true. It follows directly from Hume's Guillotine, discovered in 1739: no amount of superintelligent reasoning about facts will allow you to derive goals.

No artificial intelligence will ever spontaneously develop morals, because the questions "what can I do" and "what should I do" are eternally separated by Hume's guillotine.

The motivations will always have to be provided by the people who make the machine, and we have been seen in the past that artificial intelligences are very good at finding loopholes in their moral code. Here are some real examples: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vRPiprOa...
Disabling JavaScript completely will kill off the attack, but also kill off a lot of websites, which rely on JS functionality to work.

All the more reason to not have JS on by default, and oppose the growing population of sites which unnecessarily use it. That's been my configuration for many years, and in my experience the vast majority of sites I visit do not require it; in fact, contrary to the frequent "please enable JavaScript for a better experience" banners I see, they're better off without. I'm not against JS in general because there are useful "appsites" that can't serve their purpose without it; just against the practice of allowing your machine to run arbitrary untrusted code by default.
While I agree with your general point, I think it's wrong to characterise this as "not being able to post your dick pic to Facebook or whatever". This isn't about posting memes; it's about freedom of expression. It's about preventing, say, the Hungarian government labelling George Soros as a terrorist, and subsequently prevent you from making statements online that agree with him.

Sure, suppressing freedom of expression is not a good way to suppress freedom of expression - but this is a serious issue.

(Though, as mentioned elsewhere, it's still early in the process, and hopefully the regulation can be altered before it is passed.)
If you acknowledge that you can serve up javascript which either compromises the encryption or gets the user's keys, then how can you claim that "we cannot decrypt and read your emails"?

> bacteria are killed off really quickly by them because they lack a cell wall, without destroying human cells.

CORRECTION: I mixed up my terminology here. Bacteria have a cell wall (as do plants), human cells have a cell membrane[0][1]. But our cell membrane, as well as the cell wall of plant cells, are better at keeping the plasma ions out than the bacterial cell wall. In fact, the reason high plasma doses trigger apoptosis is because we actually use plasma ions as a cellular communication channel, IIRC. Would be hard to do that if our cells weren't protected against free plasma ions, right?

So the point still stands that bacteria die from plasma ion bombardment at doses that are harmless to human and plant cells.

I respect your opinion about the industry, but I'd encourage you to consider that you may be wrong about the financial sector not making anything better. That may be true about specific firms or pockets of the industry, but valuation, price discovery, liquidity, de-risking and credit are all legitimate benefits facilitated through financial activity.

I'm not arguing investment banks and hedge funds are an unmitigated good! But at minimum, finance (much like tech) is far too complex and mixed to be able to correctly say you're not making anything better if you work in it.

That being said, I can absolutely understand why you'd regret working at a specific firm in the industry.
>This action brings the food up to a temperature where it tends to kill/denature a lot of the bad bugs in the food.

That action may bring it up to a safe temperature. The fact that people die from e. coli poisoning from undercooked meat all the time shows that this is not foolproof.

>I'm likely to just rinse off an apple or lettuce, which may or may not successfully clean the food.

Which is an absolute non-issue if that food hasn't been sprayed with feces in the first place, as the parent poster pointed out. You can't get e. coli from unwashed vegetables unless someone has sprayed animal (including human) feces on it first.

Can you explain where you were going with the ear infection question? I had a lot of them as a child, although I've been fine for years now.
I do get your arguments very well: having to advocate ZKPP primitive in our own solution I end in discussions about ‘ZKPP does not prevent brute force’ a lot. But it’s unfair to rule out the analysis because this is a choice - these are weaknesses, they are making the system weaker. The fact that you’re providing ibcremental security in many spheres of your influence does not mean that, when being questioned, they are atill weak against practical risks. ‘Secure against chosen threat model’ is OK when threat model reflects reality, paper’s author, I think, is coming not from basis of your threat models, but from basis of security challenges of modern e-mail.

Quite frequently the difference between what you want to protect against vs real threat landscape is what rules the expert community’s decision.

I feel your pain (I work at company which improves data security of distributed systems in a number of ways, and get into similar disputes all the time), but the fact that you’re mitigating some of the risks really well does not mean that other security properties will not be scrutinized against commonly recognized threat models.

Not too rewarding, yet the whole security engineering is a Sysiphus’ labor fron day 0. Not having enough of in-community pressure (even when sometimes you’re criticized for a wrong cause, which is 50/50 here) would lead to much worse consequences than a few uncomfortable questions asked.
