each country has a different legal system, trying to make a single legislation is _really_ hard and generally not worth it. Some countries never ratify the directives either.

That's why GDPR (which is a regulation, not a directive) was such a big deal, but it came years after there was a data protection directive, allowing the systems to harmonize.
It's not great that you have to ruin security and install an enterprise cert to do this, but that's just the inevitable result of excessively locked down systems.

As sibling said, reddit was CL before it was Python. But more importantly, reddit predates Arc by more than two years. :)

And the main reason reddit was rewritten was library support. Doing simple things in CL was hard because you had to write it from scratch, but doing those things in Python was a simple library install.
I still think fully autonomous cars would let you have your cake and eat it too. Maybe you don't want smelly passengers in your car or to have it unavailable at certain times of the day or week. That could be done. Maybe the rental car is available to you during the day but moonlights as a driver for Amazon packages?

It could all be spelled out in a service level agreement.

> Florida is a perfect storm of retirees who should have had their licenses revoked years ago

Ha, that is so true – I live in a town with average age of 55, and indeed, a lot of people drive the way they would not get the license under any circumstances. I was at local DMV, and there are bunch of (old) people who moved here recently, and they need to get a new license. They don't have to pass a drive test, just a knowledge test. Still, they fail at least several times in a row (I heard about 5+, 3+ attempts).

> Forum accounts do not need that level of security

Though it's also in the platform's best interest to defend itself from weak passwords because there are usually a lot more defenses against fresh accounts than existing accounts that get taken over. We're seeing websites becoming more and more proactive here like rejecting passwords that appear on haveibeenpwned.

Also, I recognize your username from your extreme stance against password managers in the past and you seem to make the mistake of not acknowledging trade-offs. I think it weakens your point, especially when talking about end-user security where 90%+ of people are reusing passwords, not debating whether they should use a password manager or roll their own physical password pad scheme.

If you reject current password managers, can you envision a digital solution that would satisfy you?
This is yet another of those "Omg pedophiles everywhere!" hysteria cases where people are too busy being all freaked out without actually looking at the facts.

Ain't helping that the guy who "discovered" this claims it is some kind of "YouTube wormhole" you supposedly fall into and never ever can escape from. Even tho he pretty much did everything to make the results come out as they did (fresh YouTube account, using a VPN, looking up content that's already considered as "soft-core" for many users).

But the reality is that these videos show nothing illegal or really that out of the ordinary. The fact that some people derive sexual pleasure from them, is something that can never be stopped unless you introduce something akin to mass-scale thought/mind-control.

Because before it was YouTube videos or the Internet it was plain old children underwear catalogs printed on paper and without these, or YouTube videos, those people would just do a Google picture search of "childrens underwear" and get unlimited pictures of children in equally revealing poses as in those YouTube videos.

What to do about that? How to "fix" any of this? Particularly in an age where becoming a "YouTube personality/influencer" is increasingly peddled as some kind of viable choice of occupation for younger people and even children [0]?

Indeed. Reading TFA, I couldn't help thinking that managers who think this way are in fact the toxic ones. And so are slackers and the clueless, who can't hear constructive criticism straight, without getting their feelings hurt, and gossiping to management.

But then, maybe it's just that I'm prototypically toxic. And why I've always been happier as an independent consultant. Because I've tended to have slack to declare bullshit.

>That only helps if you assume the laptop is fully powered off when it is stolen. If it's on or merely in "sleep" mode, disk encryption doesn't help.

First, I said FDE and hardware security chips like Apple's T2 and mentioned stuff being soldered on and HSM backed encrypted memory. Yes, simple FDE and standard PCs can be subject to physical memory swaps and the like, but that becomes vastly more complicated and difficult with devices that use significant hardware security. This is no different then a modern iPhone, where merely having physical possession, even with the phone not powered off, doesn't mean it's trivial to access the data.

Second, you're engaging in the security fallacy of inventing theoretical attacks without considering economic cost or whether they pass the weakest point test in the threat model. The sort of scenario you've come up with is not that simple and not the sort of thing some random crook is likely to do, which is how this thread was started. But if you're dealing with a targeted physical attack by an actor with significant expertise and resources, there are far more trivial weaker points to go for. For example, they could just stick a pinhole camera looking down at your desk (or anywhere else you frequent with your notebook) and just record your password and avoid the whole mess. None of this has anything to do with password managers.

>What can never be?

Try reading the conversation? I responded to "Probably not a common scenario right now", which implies that it could someday become a common scenario. Ie., an attack that could be scalable. But physical end point attacks are inherently not scalable, just like anything else that requires actual boots on the ground. Resource cost is the framework of all security.

>The stealing doesn't need to be automated, just the attack on the password manager itself. A program anyone can download and run on a stolen laptop to extract the password database would be sufficient.

If the stealing isn't automated then it's not scalable and it's an entirely different scenario. And this makes zero sense anyway. You can't just download and run anything on a stolen quality notebook without breaking it's physical security first, which is increasingly non-trivial. The password manager database has absolutely nothing to do with any of this.
Apple crash reporting system is automated.
As far as "laws CA has that most places don't have" that seems like one of the few reasonable ones. (and I say that as someone who has spent way to much time reading up on traffic and vehicle speed related things). In addition to delivering reasonable speed limits in most places it prevents towns from lowering speed limits in key areas to enable law enforcement rent seeking and probably saves countless hours of arguing over speed limits in local government.
Enterprise certificates still need to ask for permission to access the camera, microphone, etc. But you're right: they can use entitlements that Apple will not grant normal App Store apps.
Ask HN: Should I take antidepressants?
Hello HN,

I'm 39 years old. During the past ~10 years I find very hard to find joy in the everyday life, when I'm not into a relationship with long-term potential. I'm pretty healthy, ok-looking (far from great), financially independent through my own work.

Even though logically I see a lot of reasons to be happy with my situation, emotionally I find it hard to. I've practiced CBT, I've been in psychological therapy for the past year, I like to exercise, I've even taken a 6 weeks solo trip to Asia. But, without a life partner, life hardly makes sense. And when I (seldom) find somebody I like and we start something together, I tend to cling to her as my source of happiness.

I know I should find more hobbies and get more friends (all my 3 good friends have families/children), but I find it hard to discover stuff that I like, or sustain small talk, or be energetic in interactions. I'm sometimes asking myself what's the purpose to continue living.

My therapist suggested antidepressants for the 2nd time now. I'm tempted to take the plunge.
Would you recommend anything else I could try before that? I'm open to anything.

Do you personally know people that have been helped long-term by antidepressants?

Thanks so much...

> The issue I see with the EU, is that it's essentially centralizing all the "countries" into "states". Where by, each of the states will simply answer to the two countries with the most power. Namely Germany, followed by France.

The commission consists of one commissioner per country. The parlement has (currenlty) 705 seats. Germany is represented by 96, and france by 79 seats.

On paper it is entirely possible for smaller countries to stick together and work against the interests of germany and/or france. If they don't I assume that it's because they get an economic benefit as a compansation in exchange.

I don't agree with your take on national identies at all. I don't think national identities have changed (much) in the last 20 years and I doubt they will in the near future.

If they do won't be due to too much EU, it will be because the EU institutions/mechanics are too weak+slow and cannot address problems at hand. Similar to the rather slow reaction to the migrant crises.

However, this won't be an EU specific problem. We see similar problems in the UK and US (and other EU countries) where political parties are too divided that they are seemingly unable to work together and solve (pressing) problems.

> People still believe the PRISM program was about companies giving the NSA direct and unlimited backdoor access to their databases,

I agree that the sentence exactly as you've written it describes a possible conspiracy theory that some people may hold.

I also believe you're hedging a bit-- it's possible for people who didn't follow the leaks to infer from your exact wording that a) NSA did not access those databases at scale using the PRISM program, or even b) NSA did not access those databases using PRISM, or maybe even c) NSA did not access those databases using PRISM or any other NSA program. None of those are true.

Here's something relevant from Wikipedia about PRISM:

> Documents indicate that PRISM is "the number one source of raw intelligence used for NSA analytic reports", and it accounts for 91% of the NSA's internet traffic acquired under FISA section 702 authority."

Can you speak to the veracity of that sentence?

> "there are absolutely choices you can make for marketing rather than artistic reasons"

That is fair. I believe it's also the case that when evaluating art, it's easy to conflate those reasons with one's own POV and demographic biases.

In other words: Forrest Gump is cynical pandering to Baby Boomers... but [this-year's-Marvel-superhero-movie] is an artistic gem, and The Dark Knight or Black Panther got robbed at the Oscars, etc.
As a Swede this is exactly why I'm against the EU.

Stop monetizing kids.

That's a pretty bold strawman argument. I don't think anyone is arguing that YouTube should be monetizing pre-teen crotch shots. The way I read it OP is pointing out a definite trend in which the other mainstream medias like to jump on any situation that they can use to attack YouTube and YouTube's ad revenue.

Wired in particular has a weird fascination with criticizing YouTube and YouTubers. It's a pretty transparent attack by one media that is losing attention against another media that has the attention. You can see it to some extent with how other media formats report on Facebook as well. It's not just a war for attention, its a war to reduce the ad budget that gets spent on the competing platform.

In particular for Wired making articles like "Pewdiepie is a nazi" or "YouTube is full of paedophiles" isn't just about reporting, or even clickbait to attract views. They also specifically mention ads in these type of articles as a way to hurt the bottom line ad revenue of YouTube by trying to scare advertisers away from advertising on YouTube.

People likely feel that they are not doing (or spending) anywhere near enough on the problem.
Particularly because many of the gripes with YouTube have gotten deliberately worse, yet the situation with stuff like creepy Elsa videos (and by extension, creepy comments and suspected pedophile activity) has not improved for years.

The 'adpocalypse' showed that the best way to enact any meaningful change on YouTube is to get the advertisers riled up. So that's the lever they're going to focus on.

I think it's always going to be a double-edged sword at best.

> Lucky thing some kid walked around with a geiger counter. He recorded the levels, so the numbers that officials are hiding, he knows them. His counter can be tested

Neither the linked article nor your's said anything about what kind of "geiger counter" this kid had; whether it was something picked up off ebay, an old civil defence unit, or some kit or custom made thing from Electronic Goldmine (a native AZ electronics surplus and education kit supplier - https://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/)...

It's very well possible that the kid has no real numbers; that is completely unknown.

I'd be willing to bet you could walk into an old mining bar in Flagstaff and have more exposure to natural radiation used in the building materials than you'd experience from these buckets of old ore. Natural radiation sources like these are all over the place in Arizona.

The only real danger I could see and understand, though, is whether these buckets were covered or open; could someone or a kid have "dug through them" with their hands, or been in closer proximity to the material inside - where the dust or whatnot could be left on their hands to be ingested or inhaled in some manner.

That would be a much different situation than merely being near it for a small amount of time.

Ok - that makes some sense. In that context, can you answer the question about why, as a developer I would use your platform/tech instead of creating my own, then? If I read it correctly in your response and your about page, this allows developers to use your blockchain to create applications that need a backend like you describe.

So, you are asking whether this is an idea worth spending millions of dollars on. So far, my sense is no, because I have not yet seen any indication that you've got a way to be paid to do this? if you plan to charge developers to use the platform, that would make sense. If you plan on taking transaction fees from the network and that requires working with an exchange to sell tokens for dollars, then that doesn't. So far, I think there is little evidence that anyone wants to transact any business in a cryptocurrency, at least at the consumer level. If it becomes clearer how you will spend millions of dollars to make millions of dollars, that might make everything sound better.

I think that the whole point of our system is to ensure that firms which outcompete other firms are the ones which contribute the most total value to the system.
