Honestly is anyone surprised by this? He controls everything and how will he not know their own policies?! Facebook needs a serious lesson from the regulators.
Not what we need!

When they dropped support for XFS, I was locked out and happily went looking for a replacement.

Syncthing ( https://syncthing.net/ ) does everything I need. Instead of some nameless cloud company hosting my stuff, my 'cloud copy' is a big USB hard drive on a Raspberry Pi.

I still have to keep Dropbox because of a couple of multi-org projects I'm involved with use it. I'm done putting my personal stuff on it, though.
Not to mention heat management.
The difference between a high functioning, long term heroin addict and everyone else is that the heroin addicts require large support staffs that keep them high functioning.

Not really. They require their regular fixes, but are then able to be quite functional, if highly addicted.

Where the requirement for significant resources come in is initially, vetting an addict for eligeability to enter the program.

After that it's only a question of controling the distribution. Pharmacies can function quite well as gate keepers in the process.
Agree. If you don't care about it, drop it. Then users will immediately get the message rather than be frustrated as support gets worse and worse.
I'm glad I use the xfs filesystem on Arch Linux. I dumped Dropbox immediately. Pretty happy with insync for Drive.

>You can’t just stop taking SSRIs if you’re on them, insulin if you’re diabetic, antibiotics in the middle of a regimen, immunosuppressants if you’ve had an organ transplant...

These do not constitute such a large portion of the population that you can say that folks who do not require them are rare. If anything it's the opposite.

The point I make is that heroin addicts require everything that everyone else requires, plus medical support staff that provide them with cheap and safe sources to feed their addiction. Equating this with the tools of the trade of medical professionals is absurd.
>It is not believable that rules restricting gay marriage would be struck down in some provinces but not others in Canada. Legalization was obviously inevitable.

Long term the supreme court of Canada would have struck down provincial bans on gay marriage, but not all of the provincial courts would have. Inevitable could take 10 years, or 50.

Doing it nationally and at once reduced years of suffering and human rights issues, and thus was significant.

>The Liberals of course deserve credit for seeing the obvious and not attempting any action to block gay marriage further, but they did not lift a finger to support gay marriage until the courts weighed in and forced the issue upon them.

That's simply not true.
100% usage of what though? I feel like it's like complaining to the city because I can't drive the speed limit 100% of the time.

Look, I agree with you that the marketing for internet packages desperately needs to be changed from "X Mbps" to "Capped at X Mbps bandwidth" but we're in a technical forum where we all ought to know better.

And any ISP that uses their ability to throttle for a competitive advantage for competing services deserve to be raked over the coals but there are situations where throttling specific services makes everyone better off. The example I always use is throttling HBO traffic when GoT episodes are released -- watchers buffer a little longer but otherwise it's largely imperceptible and then non-GoT traffic isn't crowded out and you can livetweet the episode.

I know that technical people here can do their own traffic shaping and probably don't want their ISP doing it for them but for people who just want working internet it's a huge improvement. Gone are the days of people's internet being slow because someone's hogging all the bandwidth watching YouTube.
I imagine the sea is extremely hard to work in and salt water is very corrosive.
If that's really true, a 16 core AMD having a higher performance than a 18 core intel processor at twice the price, that's a fabulous news for all consumers. Hopefully that will stop both intel from setting absurd price for mid end processor and generally push the industry forward.
So you're saying if you torture someone until they hit the breaking point it is morally the right thing to kill them? Some people's tolerance level is much lower than torture. Would it be acceptable to kill rape victims? After all, being dead doesn't seem like a huge big deal.
I don't understand why they don't anesthetize them before their execution. Put them under as if they are going in for surgery and then issues of inhumane treatment go away, and opens the way for far easier and less gruesome types of execution.
Your sinuses also produce NO theorized to have the same antimicrobial effect as well as a sort of regulatory hormone as the gas is inhaled.
Zorax daily predictions for 12.06.2019. Crypto bundles are growing?
Me too, I used CP/M on an Amstrad CPC 6128.

It was the only environment I could find compilers and an assembler for, along with a book in a local library. It ended up teaching me Z80 assembler, but with Motorola style syntax!

I remember writing an invaders style game and a disk sector editor with it. Fun times and the beginning of a long journey that still continues to this day.
Anyone got any good recommendations for an iOS client. I've just moved from android and there's several but not sure which to pick, which are opensource etc.
Funny enough just yesterday they announced a completely redone Windows client that they built collaboratively with Microsoft to use the right APIs etc. There’s a bunch of news chatter about it right now.
You're right. I just searched again and that came in a week before yesterday's email.

So while I admit I forgot about or glossed over the original email, the flowery marketing email should have had a reminder about that.
My paranoid fantasy is that this was already built into smoke detectors decades ago. Required by building codes to be in every room, with a guaranteed power supply, and small radioactive detector component that probably has a really small and controlled supply chain.
"Internal exchanges uncovered in response to FTC probe could cast doubt on founder’s commitment to user privacy, people familiar with the matter say"

Who thinks Zuckerberg has (or ever had) _any_ commitment to user privacy?
Unrelated to this "new" thing, but what is it with corporate blogs: They almost never have a direct link back to the product website! Why is there not a link to https://www.dropbox.com at the top of the page?!
It would have been possible, or at least HK thought that was going to happen 20 years ago. The whole of China will become more HK alike. Instead China's close grip on power meant any of these western Values were not allowed to be exposed. Even the spoken languages Cantonese is silently being killed at an alarming rate.
Resilio and folder sync are popular p2p options if you don't need a web interface
Nature does optimize for life because by definition the result of any optimization is life. Natural selection is a powerful force. And with time, nature optimizes for chemical reactions that self replicate without the biases and weaknesses of human science. We aren't patient enough to wait as long as nature is willing to and we are biased because we keep trying to replicate life like ours. Nature also had panspermia and other techniques to spread life around once it gets going, it only needs to figure it out like once per galaxy under some sets of assumptions
Nobody is bowing to your tyrannical world view. It stops here.
I use keepassxc with yubikey as well. I like it because it’s cross-platform. It works quite well.
I had read earlier that the rootstock came from Ingleside, near Corpus Christi, TX. Wikipedia says they came from Temple, TX.
Not sure why Ive been downvoted. I’ve used this all the time for demoing projects. It’s like asking for port 0. You don’t get the actual 0.0.0.0 IP address, but you use a physical network instead of the loopback virtual network device. Heck; I’ve had to change this in web hosting projects as a security vs feature trade off.
Robocall to ask them to donate to your gofundme which you will donate to the election campaign whoever proposes an anti-robocalling law that meets X, Y, Z, criteria and is actually signed into law.

Convince some industry group to seed it with $20k or so, target a small state where campaign donation amounts are low and bam, you've got your first anti-robocalling law (with teeth) on the books.
Conversely, do you understand how petty it sounds me? "Ew, he used a cuss. Better down vote him." Does swearing detract from the formulation of my argument? No. Does it add a little spice to conversation? Maybe. However, the idea that I should not use a tone of voice that conveys shock when someone states something outrageous is beyond ridiculous. Yes the emotion and swearing is extraneous, but I'm not going to respond in plebeian fashion just on the off chance I might offend someone. We're a bunch of grown ups here, no need to pretend like this is some sort of library where we can't raise our voices a little.

I will admit that perhaps I got too personal on occasion. Also I was not aware of the rules for comments as I had not previously read them.
Lighterweight virtualization can make it affordable to have many more, smaller, data centers, allowing a presence in Africa. If you write a Cloudflare Worker [1] it can be executed in any of our 11 PoPs there [2].

Because it's using your domination in one market to destroy competitors in another, it's illegal.

Hence the big fines that google is starting to get hit with, with some regularity.
Wish that this is true everywhere. Unfortunately, talking to strangers is very uncommon to some cultures.

Sure, if you make every possible bad faith effort to misinterpret and obscure what somebody is saying, you'll come away with lots of spicy memes to share with your friends while you're busy agreeing with eachother. That doesn't so much mean you've made a sober assessment of the facts.

Also that is not foreign policy.
Can I host this on my own system?
Its not reverse engineer-able. Its basically "proof-of-work" as in all participants know the algorithm, you just make attackers spend CPU time to use your site which would slow them down or cost money.
A new Linux theme inspired by Cyberpunk 2077 has been released
What's more, you can likely (depends on country etc) use Office desktop apps and your OneDrive storage on any supported device, including native apps on Android-supporting Chromebooks, for free as long as you have your student ID, as part of their Office 365 for Education programme -- see my other comment (works for teachers too).

They're really competing hard in this space, and I suspect they're trying to get ahead of Google One here. They've already left Dropbox far behind.
dropbox, considering their size, is really in a position for a solid rewrite.

Same here in Montenegro. I don't know whether pesticides are used by commercial wineries, but grapes just grows naturally here with very little maintenance, not requiring any pesticides.
That's from the same school of thought that brought us the Syrian red line on poisonous gas, the successes of the Arab spring and the democratic reforms after tieanmin square? Demanding a revolution far away from danger at the top of your voice while with your voting feet trampling these futures of choice? If you want to remain free get out of Hong Kong while you still can..

I shouldn't have named it "password". The idea was all the form fields are hidden and the process is transparent to the user.
There's where the rubber hits the road, for me. Want total privacy? Stay off the internet.

Way back in the dark ages of 1996 or so, I went to a very early web security conference. At that point, it wasn't really a profession. It was junior devs like me, schoolteachers, all sorts of people who had the job of "web security" cast upon them. And we all commiserated about getting the same marching orders... our bosses wanted absolute and total security, with absolute and totally unfettered access to the internet, and without spending any money at all.

The consumer privacy discussion today reminds me so much of that era. Everyone wants unfettered access to the internet, without paying for it, and without anyone selling your data.
Anyone know of a good replacement for Voice? It's funny, because it seems that Google doesn't care about it much, but it's the stickiest of all their products for me. It's been incredibly convenient to have a combination of a phone # alias (under which I've changed phone service at least a dozen times) and cloud-stored web-accessible messaging history and send/receive interface. Easy setup, mobile-device independent.
Have you considered Keybase KBFS for this? You get 250 GB for free, public/private with not too much metadata getting leaked, FUSE for desktop and also access on mobile devices.

I haven't actually moved over to this myself yet, but it does look much better than Dropbox or Sync.com (which I stupidly am still subscribed for despite their client being even worse than Dropbox - but at least it's encrypted...)

Nextcloud mentioned previously is the obvious choice for the privacy-conscious, but does take some further responsibility to ensure integrity and availability.
I don't know how practical that optimization would be in this particular use case, wouldn't that mean the context switch code would have to be inlined at every call site? Then when you switch back to that context how would you generate that code correctly? You would need to know which registers were not saved by green thread A, and not touched by green thread B. So the compiler would basically need to know the runtime behavior of your program to optimize pushing and popping context records, unless I misunderstood your point?

If you set a breakpoint in say a win32 fiber switch, and look at the disassembly, it jumps to an internal function that just saves all the registers (and flags) to the active context and restores all the registers from the resumed context every time. Don't know how more optimal that can be for the general case.
That sounds similar to the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal.
Apple is not in the business of selling privacy but in the business of making money.

Apple were happy to sell out Chinese citizens by allowing their government access to Apple's data center. Reason: money.

Apple are also happy to sell out everyone else's privacy by defaulting to Google as their default search engine. Reason: Money.

Apple has a reputation for being privacy focused, but just because there are worse exploiters of user data, it doesn't mean they are clean.
Let me guess you bring a healthy sense of skepticism to a lot of things in the diversity realm. I would try believing women and thinking/researching the benefits of diversity.
You could simply make all content versioned, with a full history available. Browsers would probably want to show the "latest" content by default, but they could implement a function to view previous versions or even to highlight changes. Ideally versions would come with Git-style comments so you could read the reason for the change.

This would provide an amazing archive for anyone wanting to see, for example, what was on a "front page" on a certain date. It would also let you see if someone had altered a specific article for whatever reason.

Vagitot loose vagina cream is an amazing results and it can be felt within few minutes following the first application. This loose vagina cream consists of well-known natural herbs, known for its effective astringent features that can immediately firm and toning the walls of vagina.
Because we don't have an army, so naturally power flows to pro-beijing camps. In this game you win by being pro-beijing. ANd there's the effect of diffusion. There's already news on the LegCo security team having to proclaim their political inclination, who're supposed to have to act politically neutral. The only person who refused to take pro-beijing side got bullied, sidelined to the point where she had resort to psychiatrist.

Because legitimacy of legal documents can be a joke, in a "human-based rule of law system" China. Judges and lawyers are openly oppose to this themselves since they can only decide base on prima facie evidence, so they have no real power.

Because China can and does lock people up base on speech, or even thoughts.
Traditionally AMD does NUMA differently from Intel. Would like to see a comparison focusing on NUMA.
And in this case, Lyft is simply trying to ascertain that the courts will uphold this contract. No need to hate on them simply for taking the city to court.
You don't need to. Just use apps that do not need Google Play Services. F-Droid helps out with that. I don't miss anything since almost all services I need to use have very good mobile websites. I'm glad I'm not unknowingly sharing a bunch of my data with them.
Apple just announced a new iCloud app for Windows (distributed throught the Microsoft Store): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/icloud/9pktq5699m62

Apparently this iCloud client uses the same file system integration APIs as OneDrive.

I could debate Austrian vs Keynesian economics all day and wipe the floor with you but the fact you had to resort to an ad hominem attack lets me know I already won the debate.

FWIW I've never downvoted anyone on HN so it appears as though your assumptions, just like your emotions, are out of control :)
The fact that you can't avoid them? I can (at least hypothetically) avoid Google. Maybe not really practical, but at least in theory.

How are you going to avoid your ISP? Might as well decide not to purchase electricity from the local utility...
I've heard security management say it is their job to say no all day. They definitely don't care about preventing work getting done. They will only get fired if a data leak occurs, etc.. Preventing work won't even ding their promo outcomes.
Switch to Google Drive and Google Photos, most likely.

I'd have local backups, so I don't think I'd trust it any less with my data than I trust Dropbox.
Well for me, many technology companies do their best to do business in China. Apple, which loves to tell the world how much they support human rights, builds iPhones and other products in China regardless of how bad China's record is and more.

Yeah, my latest soap box is, companies have no right to tell us how great their rights support is, human, privacy, or otherwise, if they continue to produce product in a country like China, which seems to be doubling down on suppression.
Qualified. Earning stripes? Jesus you are a bootlicker.
All the info is stored either on the device itself or synced via Blockstack if you wish to do so. The project is also entirely open-source - https://github.com/lannister-capital
> Most cities have quite useful ports and can get food from elsewhere.

Not for the same price. Either more money is spent on food or some city dwellers starve / overthrow the government.
Maybe this is heavily dependant on the file structure of what's being synced, but I've tried Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive, and Dropbox, and all but Dropbox have exhibited the CPU melting issue you describe.

Dropbox was the only one that managed to sync 10s of gigs in a timely manner, without spending hours "analyzing files" before starting to upload.
There’s an increasing groundswell of trust in AMD and their Ryzen chip. It’s great news, I’ve owned one for two years now and it’s fab.

The new XBox will feature a custom Ryzen of some form. Who’s next, Apple?
> Rather than attacking the source, perhaps you could consider the findings?

I do that too, if you look at what I said. But surely an unreliable source can't be allowed to burden everyone with continually disproving them. The SPLC has no credibility, I don't see why anyone should have to dismantle their arguments any more than any other activist publisher (occupy democrats, the daily mail, the daily stormer).

It is very difficult to win a defamation suit in the U.S. The SPLC have been proven a fraud in the courts, that's an extremely high bar of bullshit.
It's complicated for the developer, but easy for the user. Referencing the actual ipfs link on a public gateway is easy for the developer, but off-putting to the user.

With Dat, they "solved" it by building their own browser. Which I think makes it easy for the developer, but adds a lot of friction to your users.

I'm hoping both projects meet somewhere in the middle.
I think constraining many apps access to the file system is a fine idea. I just think think that mapping files to applications very quickly becomes farcical as the abstraction just clearly doesn't match.

It not even optimally secure. Why for example would your image editor need access to all your image files instead of just the ones passed in via a secure system dialog?

In that instance the dialog would be the checkpoint not the some weird file system borrow checker.
(pw;dr) Well, that doesn't sound too bad, right? Here in France we have our tear gas and our rubber bullets too. All complete with torn hands and lost eyes.

Wait a minute, that doesn't sound too good after all…
Is FastMail really a good choice for privacy? I mean yeah, their feature set is awesome, they support (and develop! [1]) open standards and they sound pretty genuine. But they're based in Australia and given recent events ([2], [3]) I'm not sure if I would like to place my data in that country.

Does anyone still build native clients for anything?

It seems no one bothers anymore, no matter the size of the company.

Any native clients we have now were built years ago and now they are only maintained.

I think nowadays even Audacity would be an Electron app.

They don't read your email, they scan it. These things are semantically and practically different. Reading, to me, means human comprehension. It's not like some Google employee is going through my messages. Scanning is just robots putting keywords in a database to target ads. Which is annoying, but it's not really the same, privacy-wise.

are you saying that the M-Sport 3 series is close enough in price to almost always justify upgrading to the actual M3, and that this Mac Monitor is expensive, but not the best money can buy on the market?
Revisiting the Testing Pyramid
Facebook is a one-man show. Zuckerberg owning 60% of the company and no one can say anything to him. Moreover, one man has the entire monopoly over our entire online social life. Other networks have come and failed. Anti Trust regulators should seriously open Facebook's file and break it.
”And why would they do that if the geology of the area isn’t one which would lead them to expect minerals.”

Any significant structure would introduce a gravitational and/or magnetic anomaly. Given that, keeping the structures as small as possible seems the way to go, but of course, you also want to contain the waste for thousands of years.

On the other hand, one could hope that anybody who can detect such anomalies knows about radiation, too.
