Oh I think there was a misunderstanding here! I never intended to say FastMail was worse than Google. FastMail (IMO) is still a better choice for lots of reasons.

As for ProtonMail: Yes, I've been a ProtonMail customer for about half a year now. However I'm really dissatisfied on a number of ends:

<opinion>

- the bridge is a bad solution and it doesn't work well

- the bridge doesn't exist on Android, tying me into their own client

- their own client is proprietary and has GSF dependencies (optional, but still - privacy?)

- (this might be due to technical constraints so it might be not valid but) they generally seem to have an aversion against standards

- their technical team is slow and deadlines are (from what I've seen) meaningless

- (possibly FUD but) the recent drama [1]

</opinion>

Don't get me wrong they're doing important work. And I believe them in the sense that they can do cryptography well and they're bringing (a good amount of) privacy to the masses. But they're not less problematic than any other major provider I'm aware of.

In the end it boils down to everything sucks™.

One thing a lot of the (skeptic) comments here don't take into account is the role of petrol in mining. Petrol is the single discovery that has made basically all of modern technology and manufacturing possible. Petrol is incredibly energy-dense and is still incredibly cheap. Without it, there's no plastic, no mining and basically no transport. It's also worth mentioning that without petrol there would be no solar panels and no large scale wind turbine installations.

Interested readers might like to read about the concept of "energy returned on energy invested" or EROEI [1], which demonstrates the limitations of renewable energies and the implications of peak petrol.

You jumped from the morality of execution to casually wanting to overhaul the sense of identity of almost every person and group.

Not that it’s not interesting. Just a little out of scope IMO.
The result of the investigation isn't a factor in determining if a claim is falsifiable or not, only the question if the investigation is possible. This is confusing falsifiable with falsified.
This was a simple typo; I accidentally used a sound-alike. It's fixed in the post, thanks for noting it!

I love the idea of that (and your tool). I 100% agree on the idea of that implementation. I now have almost 15 years of photos in iCloud with things that would be particularly devastating to lose. Memorable vacations, lost pets and relatives. It really would be like loosing a large chunk of my history.

Looks like you don't support iCloud, not surprised I'm sure there's no public API and their API would be quite fragile and hostile to use.

I do use google photos on my phone, so everything syncs from iCloud -> Google Photos anyway.

How much datacenter could one fit into a satellite weighting 30 tons? What if there was a Starlink style contellation of datacenters? Power would be a big issue, of course. If these were in low Earth orbit, latency would be low, and if they had high speed point-to-point communications, virtual servers could be paused, serialized, then sent to the next satellite to go overhead in a specific region.

Granted, it would be way too expensive at the present time, even with reusable Falcon rockets.
My day job is programming and I'm obviously computer literate, so it's an embarrassment to confess I don't understand:

a- the difference between Google Photos and Google Drive.

b- the difference between Google Photos and the folder titled "Google Photos" in Google Drive.

c- whether I'll be able to backup/restore the pictures from my Android phone to Google Drive.

d- whether this affects me at all.

Color me confused. And if I am confused, I cannot imagine what regular users will think of this.
We do that as well, outside of a small whitelist of allowed external links. Turns out it's not enough and we still need recaptcha for a few reasons.

I second this. Syncthing has gotten to the point where it just works, and if it doesn't ever just work (once/twice a month if that), a restart of the syncthing service clears it all up.
Yeah but optimization is not linear, earth gave way to a path to lifeforms, other places not so much, they end up lifeless local maxima. Saying space and time can't be a simple factor to dismiss local human research.
This really raises the question of what it means to "consent" to something. If you don't actually understand what you are consenting too, is it legally binding?
To clarify, when I said, "dropping support for older versions of MacOS" I didn't mean "product still works but you're on your own." That's what most companies do and I have no problem with it. Dropbox doesn't do this. With Dropbox, the client program stops working entirely for no good reason and on arbitrary dates when they think your OS is too old. I find this entirely unacceptable.

It's a spectrum, really. Homo sapiens are generally about that old, but when you start talking modern anatomy, behaviors, etc, what we would recognize as "human" is much more limited.

If anything, what you bring up kind of goes right along with my point! There may be life out there, but what is life, or intelligent life for that matter? How would we know what we were looking at if we even saw it?
There are two possibilities I can think of. (1) Scrape the location from the web app, or (2) maybe Google Takeout for Google Photos leaves the location metadata intact? Feel free to discuss here: https://github.com/mholt/timeliner/issues/38
IMO .... AWS has been eating everyones lunch. K8s was a play by Google to sell GKE / GCP and it worked.

Problem being not everyone has a team of Google SREs to manage it so when k8s blows up the skillset to figure out the issues simply doesnt exist in the team managing it.

Agreed though, 10 Years is a much longer timeline than what current leaks are rumoring, which is 1-3 years.

Currently in fanless environments (Such as the iPad Pro) the latest CPU, A12X, outperforms Intel's fanless offerings by a good amount.

I would imagine that Apple could build like performing parts if not better using current A12 Tech and don't forget that Apple is already using TSMC's 7nm process. Additionally, Apple could make sure of big.LITTLE in varying sizes to bring large power consumption advantages to Macs as it stands, along with their Neural Core.

If anything the 3D chiplet tech will make their chips even more expensive/lower yield/more likely to overheat.

HBM memory for instance is still quite expensive, and even 3D NAND was more expensive initially. Now it's harder to tell because the whole market crashed and they reached a limit for density anyway.
Otherwise reasonable people can be convinced to do unreasonable things by companies with an agenda, that’s not the question. Facebook has done a great job convincing people to irrationally give the company all their data.

The question is do you combat that with education or with regulation? Personally I think the government’s track record with this kind of regulation is terrible, with the possible exception of cigarettes. In the US marijuana is still a schedule one drug right up there with opioids, which makes zero sense when you look at the risk profile of each drug.

Public education is extremely difficult, for example the Just Say No campaign fell mostly flat, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Cigarette usage is down these days due to both increased regulations and increased public awareness of the risks.
Email will notify you of events that are only publicized on Facebook? :thinking_face:

I mean, to be fair, even Facebook won't necessarily tell you about an event unless the event creator pays them money to promote it. It's actually not a great platform for small-scale publicity, and _only_ publicizing an event on Facebook is clearly a mistake for a number of reasons. But despite its many virtues, email doesn't actually address GP's case at all.

> but not a direct harm to others

The argument is that public drug use is a harm to others. I don't see how shooting up on the street has anything to do with being trans. One is a public health hazard, the other is a personal choice.

Yes there exists discrimination against trans people. That's an entirely separate issue that is not helpful to discuss with the original topic. We should be able to decide if we want second hand smoke, dirty needles, strung out people... in public without poisoning the debate well by bringing in non-related issues.

Also, the end paragraph mentions some cloud-based graph management system. Is there any chance they could do a decentralized graph management system (something like https://github.com/brysgo/graphql-gun ) instead of some centralized solution?

I don't want my GraphQL data getting locked in to some vendor. Any reason why I shouldn't worry about this? Thanks!
I'm not sure what your point is with that graph. Is it that 24 million Americans drink excessive amounts of alcohol and it's not a problem because they're still alive? Please forgive me if I misunderstand.

This is getting off-topic, but just because the human body is well capable of expelling consumed alcohol doesn't mean that it won't suffer from other problems in the future like fatty liver disease(which is also caused by chronic sugar consumption, btw).
IPFS also needlessly rolled their own TLS replacement:

https://github.com/ipfs/specs/issues/29

> I would add that if TLS can be used without all the X.509 nonsense, and with our own choice of pubkeys, including using different signing public keys (not the DHE keys) in the same conn, then we can consider breaking our "not TLS pls" stance.

TLS fit their requirements all along, they just… decided to reinvent it instead of reading about how to use it.
Science, Philosophy, and Human Behavior in the Soviet Union by Loren Graham is pretty good. It is more on the science side than talking about technological innovations, I'm not aware of any books in English focusing on that (supposedly there are some in Russian).

Most of the books on this topic seem to be more about the "communism is evil" angle than actually talking about the science.
I'm not trying to compare gmail and fastmail. I'm trying get off gmail, and that is the top priority. However, changing email providers is relatively disruptive and I'd prefer to choose one that can last me 5-10 years. Fastmail was that choice but uncertainty about Australian encryption laws throws a wrench into that equation.

My concern with encryption law is not necessarily that FastMail will respond to warrants (though total non-compliance in a non-5 eyes country would be ideal), its how frequently and do they need to otherwise compromise the security of the product in order to do so. FastMail seems to think that the new laws will impact them negatively.[0] FastMail's response to these claims has not been exactly confidence inspiring as the Australian government could compel the company to comply not just individual coders.[1]

The real question I'm asking is, is fastmail my only real alternative to gmail?

Generally with the deals for tax benefits there are often negotiations that aren't necessarily in the tax break law... but are as much a part of the deal as any other part that the company giving a tax break makes a donation to some local affordable housing or similar service.

It's nice, although I can't imagine 3 mil goes very far considering the impact.
This disappointes me.

I finally got my home backup system setup to my liking, and it's super simple and requires little to no effort on upkeep:

1. Google Photos synced to Google Drive.
2. Google Backup & Sync installed on the computer.
3. Backblaze Personal Backup software installed on the computer.

Every time I take a picture, edit a document, etc., it's automatically and effortlessly synced to Backblaze.

I had a Linux Box with Restic installed, but required more effort than I wanted to put in.

Now I'm going to have to rethink how I backup my 40k+ photos.
Will this app helps me to always pay my debt?
Things aren't that bad. Hole punching can still work most of the time for broadband and you don't really need all that many nodes with routable IP addresses. Scale makes this problem even less of an issue. Mobile networks are somewhat problematic though, but they cannot be heavy nodes either way and have to be lightweight clients that piggy back from normal nodes.
Excellent. I found the PR and was able to run it, I think that will make a good starting point for experimentation.

I'm a game developer so pretty experienced with rendering but not so much with Rust, Vulcan, etc and haven't done a lot of this 2D "demoscene" sort of stuff, so I don't know all the neat tricks there., and it is not immediately obvious what kind of techniques you use to get the cool results that you are getting.

I had a look through some of the existing examples in nannou (under the generative_design folder) but found the existing ones to be extremely uninteresting. Your PR is a great non-trivial example with inspiring results.

Your instragram feed makes these all seem like beautiful mysterious artwork. It love it if there was a "making of" blog which described your thought process going from one to the next, as I imagine you aren't rewriting them each from scratch but making small tweaks on an existing idea each time.

I checked out the Coding Train, there is such a wide range of content there, was there a particular episode that inspired a lot of these designs?
thanks for that. That's a huge bummer. Really wish Apple wouldn't force the Metal issue with Nvidia. Yeah, it'd be nice and all, but as a user, I'm fine with the various scripts I have to run after macOS updates to get the card running again but they just nixed that outright. Oh well, hopefully AMD can solve the fan problems or Nvidia and Apple can work something out, either or.
+1 on the mention of Matrix!
IMHO, mostly due to history and some caution. A thoroughly oversimplified history would go something like this:

In days past a lot of medicine was based on what seems to work or what ought to work. Unless the effect is really obviously disastrous it's easy to believe an intervention is helping even if it's not. Medical research was of course done but doctors mostly went with their gut or whatever article they'd recently read in a journal and liked the sound of.

It's only since the late 80's and through the 90's that Evidence Based Medicine really started to get going. Since then doctors have (sometimes slowly) come round to the idea. However all this research takes time. What do you do about those interventions that haven't been tested yet?

You could stop doing anything that hasn't been thoroughly researched, but that risks letting people die or suffering unnecessarily.
Maybe I misunderstand your left side panel. I thought it's related to the object (e.g. a specific chart) that is selected but looking at it again it seems to be related to the entire dashboard.

I was not referring to the form values but to the structure of the form - I just thought the different object types (chart, table) don't have static forms behind but dynamic ones. In your case, as far as I can tell, dynamic forms wouldn't make much sense as your form objects are only textboxes, checkboxes and selection boxes - also you don't have too many different objects to configure. Doesn't matter - was just wondering.

But really a great application! I'm working on a similar platform but not open source and with focus on data generation/collection instead of reporting.

A civil society also breaks its pact when it commits the murder of an innocent person in the name of those law-abiding people.

>, and do NOT require any tokens.

You're looking at it from a pure technical perspective of pushing bytes around in a decentralized way.

What the folks pushing "tokens" are trying to solve is the game theory of financial incentives to store & serve those decentralized bytes. In contrast, things like Bittorrent/Beaker/webtorrent/etc depend on others' "altruism" to host and serve files.

Because altruism doesn't scale, that's why nobody wants to seed my 100 gigabytes of personal vacation photos. Sure, they'll be happy to seed & disseminate the latest cracked copy of Adobe Photoshop or a bluray rip of the latest Marvel Avengers movie. But my personal files are uninteresting to the current decentralized web.

(But I'm not claiming Filecoin actually solves the incentive puzzle. I'm merely pointing out that the "problem" Filecoin tries to solve is at a higher abstraction level (the economics) than webtorrent (the protocol).)

SyncThing
IBM had made big commitments to enterprise customers to get them to adopt the PC's successor, the PC/AT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer/AT), which used the older, transitional 80286 processor. These commitments created a big drag on lots of other IBM projects, as they couldn't do anything that would be perceived by those enterprise customers as devaluing their investment in the AT. So not only was IBM slow to adopt the vastly superior 386, it also insisted on things like OS/2 having to be compatible with the 286, where Microsoft was free to let their competing product, Windows NT, abandon the 286 and all its baggage completely.

This is a great illustration of the idea of the "strategy tax" (see http://scripting.com/davenet/2001/04/30/strategyTax.html), where various parts of a business that are deemed non-strategic have to give up things that would make them more competitive to prop up another part of the business that is deemed strategic. IBM's bet on the 286 was so big that they were still pushing 286 machines well into the PS/2 era, by which time the clone makers had long since flocked to to the much more capable 386. Those commitments to enterprise customers meant that the 286 became an anchor tied around the waist of IBM's PC business.
