> In this context, you are implying the platform is the browser?

No, the platform is wherever you distribute the URLs to other people. Browsers, for the most part, don't share URLs with eachother without an intermediary server hosting the shared links, either as one or more traditional webpages with links or something like a shared bookmark list.

Yes, you should. If you choose to throw that phone in the garbage after 12-18 months, you should pay a price for wasting something that should last much longer. If like a normal person you instead just wipe it and sell it (or pass it on) then you will recover remaining value anyway.
I was going to make fun of this, but realized I’m not blind - if some who is could tell me how much they depend on sound of a car to determine safety is really appreciate it.

Cracking RSA isn't cracking SHA-256. Bitcoin and other coins are based on SHA-256. If someone were able to crack SHA-256, the exploit would be better served (of the hacker) to slowly steal coins, so that value within the network is maintained and the exploit is overlooked and missed by the majority. In addition to stealing national secrets.

But all you'd need to do is steal from one early adopter (it's in their financial interest to be savvy enough) and the adopter could alarm the community that an exploit is in existence.

In addition, there are various cryptographic algorithms used. So, one could accept Litecoin, if SHA-256 was exploited. Or accept Vertcoin if both Script and SHA-256 was exploited. Etc.

So, it's an interesting situation based on game theory of an exploit. There is no hard and fast answer.

And this is why I only 'buy' eBooks if they're dirt cheap (<$5). Even then if I really enjoy them I'll buy a physical copy.
There's a zillion things you can estimate this way. A lot of sites use sequential cookies, user IDs, etc. Until about a decade ago UPS tracking numbers were sequential for each shipper which made it trivial to estimate output for online shops. Apple invoice numbers used to be dense and sequential and you only needed the number to retrieve the invoice. The IMEI is actually just about the worst way to have estimated iPhone sales in 2008; at that time you could literally have crawled Apple's website for every invoice whether sold online or in stores.
Nice! Now let it use tmux-style navigation commands instead of a friggen mouse and I'd be happy.
Engineering has the concept of “fail safe”. It literally means that the failure mode is a safe mode. If the dns of the DRM server can no longer be reached, a fail safe would allow the book to continue to be read.
The issue was not the internal communication within the police. For that there was a complete paper trail. But the top police officers got their instructions from somewhere; probably high ranking civil servants, spin doctors or maybe even politicians in the then government. Those communications were gone.
I think the real issue here is an improper definition of the word “buy” from a truth in advertising perspective. I think if a company says you are “buying” a digital good, then that good than access to that good should be required to be perpetual, irrevocable, available offline, and enable the user to back up to their choice of media.

This doesn't preclude the use of DRM in its entirety but is very close to the experience of buying and owning physical media, which I think meets the common perception of what "buying" means. For companies wanting to use the current DRM paradigm, they should be required to use an alternate, accurate term such as "license."

Of course this is becoming increasingly academic with the rise of subscription services, where I think all parties are aware that content is impermanent and the relationship is defined month to month.
> "right to repair" advocates conspicuous failure to acknowledge this tradeoff

Rossman, the youtube figurehead of this movement, talks about this at length in every single rant of his that I've listened to on the subject.

iFixit, the corporate figurehead of the right to repair movement, has this to say regarding Error 53, one of the first major invocations of security by the anti-repair lobby to excuse their behavior:

> Obviously, the Touch ID sensor is an important security measure...

So: what are you talking about? The RtR movement doesn't only acknowledge the tradeoff, they tackle it head on, and thanks to Error 53 they have extensive first-hand experience informing customers of the issue and surveying their opinions.
You're right, you convinced me it has little real value.

I agree in principle, having scraped their logo off my former favorite keyboard, including the big one with "Designed for Windows 98" on the bottom. But I also remember that we can now buy dozens of gigabytes of RAM for much less than the GDP of a small country, partly because MS helped bring up and keep up the demand across decades, justifying so much R&D. Now that key's name is just an annoying side effect of the way history went, and it's not the one I choose to focus on anymore.
That’s very interesting. I wonder if the community will pick up the slack when Red Hat stops supporting X, or if they’ll all move in favor of Wayland. I would expect a split between the two at first, with a slow transition to mostly Wayland as it gets optimized to run well on older hardware.
> How do you learn that?

Like any field it takes study. If it's something you care about and is important (because you want to break into the field), you're probably more likely to remember and apply yourself than if it's just a passing interest and something you wish you knew.

Acknowledging that all the elements in a scene aren't accidental and are deliberate is the first step - timing, lighting, framing... People did this. People who have dedicated a whole career to their fields considered all the elements (theme, setting, mood, plot etc) and drew on their experience in applicable techniques (or innovated upon these) to decide where to put the camera, how to move it, how to focus it, what kind of lights to use, makeup, costume, props, words, sound effects, music etc. Things you wouldn't think of in post production like using 10 rapid-fire high-exposure photos in a transition instead of just cutting or fading to the next scene, colour grading, etc.

These days there's a huge amount of techniques and the understanding of how these influence viewers' perceptions of a piece constantly improves. Long gone are the days of straight landscapes for exposition and close-up shots for dialogue.

Really if you want to get into the field, you'll have to fully immerse yourself in it, join forums, ask questions, watch movies with a critical eye, etc. Join local film clubs, take a course, etc.

Practically you could do much worse to go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinematic_techniques and then google for yourself "xyz history" or "how to xyz" for everything listed there.

The dark side of eBooks: sometimes you buy a book and then you lose the file.

I've lost a LOT more files, than I have books.
That is untrue: https://bugs.debian.org/914179

Any member of the Debian community (even just a user) can file an RM bug against ftp.debian.org, if they provide justification. That is the standard procedure. The FTP masters perform the removal, but in the majority of cases someone else (the package's own maintainer, a member of the release team, a member of the "QA team" which is also everybody) files it, and says "request of maintainer"/"QA"/etc.

It is clear from the linked bug that antiharassment requested the removal and ftpmaster performed it. That's normal procedure. And the text was clearer than usual that ftpmaster should make their own independent judgment about whether it was justified (even though they always can).

Mostly, by distributing links on other web pages.

> How are pages censored? By deplatforming. This usually happens by activists targeting the host right in their cashflow.

This does not avoid that problem, since you still need (for effective reach) hosting for the links.

It also adds new problems, like the length limit most browsers impose on URLs limiting the size of content that can be shared by this method rather sharply.
Plus, in some future implementation, it could happen that the current faster way becomes slower, due to changes in the JS interpreter / JITter etc. At least, think it could. Not a language lawyer or implementer.
Yes, actually. Because that event was referenced in the original article, which made it the last book I had thought about.
Wouldn't it be a better idea to have the URL-stored webpage use WebTorrent to host the actual content through P2P?

>You are deluding yourself if you think cryptography can be the solution to an attacker with access to the physical machine.

Of course it can be part of a solution. Responses like yours, which display zero consideration of threat scenarios, time/info/resource costs, or any potential improvements are somewhat tiresome these days.

>No crypto in the world can help you if I simply bug the fricking physical keyboard!

I'm sorry, can you point to that "fricking physical keyboard" on my iPhone? I'll wait.

And even if you want to talk purely about PCs and attached keyboards, there is no inherent reason those couldn't be locked down too were it a general problem, and have a system refuse to trust any peripheral by default. HSMs can also be part of an overall plan that can mitigate some damage even from a keyboard bug. Furthermore, breaking into a private residence or business is a significantly more time/information/resource intensive problem then subverting a centralized repair place through which lots of hardware passes and is left unattended, and which will not in fact generally include peripherals (if my computer is broken, I bring just the computer in, not the keyboard/mouse/monitor).
Well, you haven't given any new info to Google on that case, at least. If you have an Android phone they could guess your work and home address from your commute patterns.

The word "wiretap" has a specific obsolete meaning. The state of telephony moved on and so did the state of "wiretapping", rendering the term itself an anachronism. Incidentally "pen register", e.g. recording the metadata of a line, is also an anachronism.

Considering both of these terms are anachronisms originally created to describe distict devices which haven't been used in decades, getting bent out of shape over the difference between the two doesn't seem like a productive direction to steer the conversation.
Even in the US, 1k/month is still an extravagant food budget for a family of 3. If you don't eat out and cook using staple ingredients & raw foods it should cost 100-200/month per person. If I'm not eating out, I spend ~60/month, but as I hunt I almost never buy any meat at the grocery store.

Other things that drive costs up are buying 'healthy' prepared foods like fresh breads, using a bread machine I pay 0.45/loaf of whole wheat, 0.60 for rye bread. It takes ~15 minutes in the morning to prepare and set the machine,compared to 6-10 per loaf for good quality bread. It isn't necessary to spend copious amounts of time in the kitchen to eat well, I typically spend 0:30-1:00 cooking, and we eat leftovers 2-4 nights per week. For instance, soups are often cheaper & easier to prepare in large batches. I don't want to eat the same meal for a week straight, but servings can easily be frozen for later. As a bonus, these frozen meals can then be served when there isn't enough time to cook a meal.
The article suggests that for large static things like config data. It's not suggesting anyone write their object declarations that way.
> To travel one kilometre by bike requires approximately 5-15 watt-hours (w-h) of energy, while the same distance requires 15-20 w-h by foot, 30-40 w-h by train, and over 400 w-h in a singly occupied car.

Since the rise in popularity of electric cars 400wh/km is actually quite high.

I think that's part of the reason Google made AMP: they don't allow arbitrary JavaScript scripts because it's not practical to get all websites and all developers to optimise JavaScript usage. Likewise, the amount of CSS code allowed is strictly limited.
It's not the same as buying DRM free, but stripping DRM from most eBook formats is pretty trivial these days, afaik. Unless something has changed in the last few years since I last bought a kindle edition of a book (which I stripped of DRM so something like this couldn't happen).

> I don't fully understand how China works as a country and economy

I don't think that anybody, or even the head of Chinese central bank himself knows how Chinese economy works, except for the fact that it does.

When I lived in Canada, I shared apartment with a power couple from Beijing: a central bank worker, and a former Huawei senior engineer (though both were from Shaanxi originally.) A girl who worked in the central bank for her entire career were telling that just understanding everyday workings of the system was beyond PBOCs most senior analysts, giving the example of how PBOC took years to trace missing billions of rural lending cooperatives that went bust mid nineties, or how the entire PBOC analysis and statistics wing was unable to calculate country's real current account changes with any level of certainty.

Mainly cost I'd say. 20 or 40 years ago, depending where you were, gas was cheap enough that it mostly wasn't worth caring that much, and electric anything was the expensive option. Aircon for cooling was a much easier choice. These days it's starting to look hugely attractive both ways, and I think will be ever more so.

Cold areas usually have a mostly unused backup heater in heat pumps, for those few times record breaking cold arrives, and of course the nearer you get to a COP of 1 (1kW in = 1kW out) the longer it takes to pay back the extra cost.
TPM itself is neutral of course. Devices which are locked out from the user to control are already not. So when I refer to DRM, I refer to the later. Users should have the ability to break and remove DRM, that's the point of "right to repair".

> And yet, at the same time, we seem to be in the throes of a backlash against diversity, against mixing, with many people trying to claw their way back to a largely mythical, more homogeneous past.

It's bizarre how a "more homogeneous past" is always dubbed "mythical", while simultaneously admitting diversity has been growing (in the West) for the past ~half century. In the very same article, they say Dartmouth college went from 75% to 50% white in a mere 20 years. So is the 75% white Dartmouth a myth?

The Great Cheeto can say "I don't like regulation, but I don't like China more" and be consistent.

As a conservative leaning US citizen, things like these have me seriously questioning what the point of all this is- our nation obviously needs to do this differently, but as someone who ostensibly believes in a "free market" / laissez-faire economics, this is a hard problem to swallow. Personally, I've found that anti-trust regulation, Government involvement [iterference, if you don't like it], and forbidding horizontal consolidation, is necessary to the maintaining of a free market, because as companies grow huge (IE Google) they seem to always become anti-competive to keep growing.

Maybe the thing to do is change the way that companies report financial gains to promote a more long-term approach- just as China has been operating on the basis of four- and five-year plans, it might be better for everyone (except Wall Street's HFT bots) if the financial structure of the US was changed to encourage longer-term planning.

I absolutely agree that if someone was as abrasive and toxic as has been suggested then they should have been dealt with long ago. However, if Wikimedia feel that the community has failed to do so, then why not seek to address that failing to fix this case and others in the future rather than taking unilateral action? It doesn't make long term sense unless the message is that Wikimedia will be taking a larger role in moderating the community.
