I've been working off the belief that the limiting factor for a gasoline car is the engine which only lasts about 4-8000 hours before it's kaput. Electric motors and simple fix gear drivetrains should last much longer.

EV's might well double the age of the average car on the road.

Agree that it is overall an improved experience. After upgrading, I discovered that a VPN app wanted access to my Documents folder. No reason it would need that, so I simply denied it. Lo and behold, the app continues to work just fine as expected. IMO, this alone is a big reason to upgrade to Catalina.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that they talked to absolutely no one local (Pakistani or Muslim) before they published this. The threshold before people pay zakat is like $300 so fluctuations in silver price has very low effect. Do you think someone with $300 in savings is giving donations?

Government only deducts the zakat from the checking account. I am from Pakistan and very few people(basically salaried employees for corps/govt which is a very small portion of population) have bank accounts and the main use is to just withdraw the salary immediately every month. People who are on the threshold of $300 lifetime savings have almost negligible chance of owning a bank account.So I am going to call BS on this paper. There are so many problems with the data in this paper that I can't even. Also quite racist to say factually that a lot of charity money goes to fund terrorist attacks and the proof for this is nada. They are using metrics for terrorist attacks in Pakistan (most of which used to happen indiscriminately in public places in metros where most people with bank accounts live). Do you really think that people living in metros are bankrolling indiscriminate terrorist attacks against themselves?
If there's a problem with the parent comment, it's the tacit assumption that the USA still has some way to go to "stoop to India's level", which smells of American exceptionalism to me. It's not at all clear to me that America is losing the Grand Race to Dictatorship. Modi might be an authoritarian sectarian with worryingly little respect for institutional precedent, but has he reached the level of committing federal crimes on national TV?

I doubt there’s a guide anywhere: it’s far from a trivial undertaking. If you want to look at the Java code that builds all the primitives, see the Clojure/Lang folder:

https://github.com/clojure/clojure/tree/master/src/jvm/cloju...

Part of what makes it Clojure instead of just a Java-based lisp are the persistent data structures that allow for efficient immutability, and the seq interface for working with collections smoothly. There’s a big (scary, to my eyes) set of classes that underlies all of the convenience. Thankfully it’s very stable so I don’t have to think about it.

Like Key Compromise Impersonation in a serious cryptosystem, metadata leaks are just a design flaw. They might not matter in most or even many situations, but when they do matter, they matter a lot. There is no reason to have them; we accept them in PGP because we unduly venerate a 1990s protocol that people have used to organize IRL parties.

The two real reasons to avoid encrypted email are:

1. There's no realistic way to do it with forward secrecy, so any point-in-time compromise of a key --- which is inevitable --- will decrypt every message ever sent through that user.

2. Email is default-plaintext, and most people who have used PGP or S/MIME "at scale" have seen people repeatedly forget or misconfigure and send plaintext replies to encrypted emails, often with the plaintext of previous messages quoted.

Both of those reasons are, for me, dispositive.
Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze and I wrote the Inherit Backup State functionality.

> inherit process on the server can’t handle my "too large backup state’s indexes"

Yeah, I'm sorry about that and it is on my plate to fix it. The issue is that Backblaze uses a ZIP library that only handles up to 4 GByte zip files. We zip up your "backup state" (the list of files that were backed up) and download it to the client that is "Inheriting". Your "backup state" has exceeded 4 GBytes, which is unusual, but not unheard of (maybe 2% of our customers right now). And it is "on the rise" as more and more customers have more data, plus backup for longer and longer with Backblaze.

The fix is to either link with a new zip library, or sub-divide your "backup state" into 2 or 3 or 4 zip files. Easy enough, but it doesn't help you this week.

> No apologies given either

I am sorry about this. In our support tech's defense, they were CRUSHED this past week by our attempts to get everybody auto-updated in anticipation of the Macintosh OS X 10.15 Catalina release which came out yesterday. So if they were terse it wasn't out of disrespect, it was out of sheer load they were dealing with.

The issue was that if we didn't get everybody to upgrade, anybody that chose to install Macintosh OS X 10.15 Catalina then it would break Backblaze and popup a completely random error dialog that wasn't helpful and didn't solve the problem. By getting people upgraded before Catalina, there are no issues at all and they won't have to contact support.

> It’s still pretty bad because there’s no way I‘ll have those 2-3TBs reuploaded within 2 weeks

To maximize your chances, make sure you turn off all power savings modes on your computer (like don't even let the monitor go to sleep) and make sure Backblaze is set to use 30 threads, and give it LONG periods of time (overnight 8 hours is ideal). You should be able to backup 1 TByte every 24 hours or so, but it can go slower if you don't have an SSD drive, or if your bandwidth is limited. One idea is to take your computer to a location with faster bandwidth, like a school or your work place and leave it there for two or three days, then carry it back home for the incrementals. By the way, Comcast has announced that it literally intends to offer full 1 Gbit/sec service to every last customer in the United States, so another way to go is upgrade your internet for 1 month, then downgrade it later.

> can’t trust your systems to handle the "too large" 2-3TB backup

We can handle the backups, just not the "Inherit" feature for long running backups with large amounts of data. And it's a fairly straight-forward fix for me to fix that, I just need to get to it. I'm sorry you got bitten by this short-coming, I will get it fixed.
They'll find a way to consume it. But the NBA will probably make much more money through legitimate products in China than if Chinese fans are watching pirated streams over VPN and buying counterfeit, unlicensed jerseys.

Magic is simply religion by another name. The belief that the natural world is governed by a supernatural world and that the latter can affect the former through divine intercession (theurgy) or human will and ritual (thaumaturgy) is, essentially, basic religious belief.

My point is that building a pyramid with thousands of laborers is not a thing you or I are considering. Nor is buying or designing a two million dollar car. These are just things that exist in the world. They might or might not appeal to your sense of aesthetics.

I'm not saying you should somehow suppress it if a $3M car makes you sick to your stomach, like you saw someone punching an orphan. It just seems arbitrary and crazy and I have a creeping horror that more and more people are like this.

Do you think that if someone enjoyed reading about the pyramids, was fascinated with them, and said "yes, I would build a pyramid like a pharoah if I could", that they ought to be sanctioned, punished, or shunned?

> Oh, let's not forget the fact that Vista was supposed to be Longhorn, the OS of the future with a database file system

This sounded interesting when I first heard about it, long before Vista came out. Now when I see it I wonder what they were trying to do. A file system is a database, with a well understood user API. So what were they going to add? Tagging? Application level views of the system? None of t hat seems like something that would require anything more than an extension that handled additional metadata.
That'd be me, and I avoided to mention that because it doesn't matter. People aren't making up the plaintext-reply problem; a person on HN that tells me they've never seen it is more loudly communicating that they rarely actually use PGP.

I bet if we could get a hard percentage of companies that have strict access rules for engineers around even just sensitive data in general, let alone PII, that would easily be <50%.

It's entirely feasible to me that this is was a mistake, I think people who assume this was deliberate are ironically putting more trust in tech companies than they should.

Most of the world is being held together by duck-tape, fastened by people who don't understand the systems they're fixing or maintaining. I don't think that tech companies are an exception to that rule.

But... the experience of SMS as a second factor is also miserable. You don't have access to it when you're abroad, you can lose access to a phone number just the same as any other 2nd factor. In fact it seems more likely because there are other unrelated reasons that the phone company might take the phone number from you, in addition to the possibility of physical loss. In addition if you need to change phone numbers it is not easy to remember all the services that have that number stored as a factor to change them all.

2017 may be significantly better that 2011, but it's NOT significantly better than the early 2015 Retina's.

The problem Apple has is that the early-2015 Macbook Pro Retina's really hit the balance point with the physical form factor. Enough heft to feel solid without too much weight. Enough battery life to do real work. A solid set of ports: HDMI. Magsafe. USB 3.0 ports. A keyboard that doesn't break due to random micron-sized dust particles.

So, a LOT of people want a 2015 Macbook Pro but with ONLY the tweaks to bring it forward to 2019 technically (memory, CPU, display, change to the two Thunderbolt 2 connectors to USB-C Thunderbolt 3) while leaving it in 2015 physically.

It seems pretty strange to me that individuals with the right to free speech and the right to assemble and freely associate would lose those rights if they chose the form of a "corporation" as the manner of assembly and association. So I don't think the problem is that the law treats groups of people as legal entities with substantially similar rights to the individuals.

I would expect that crimes associated with speech (slander, defamation, fraudulent representations, incitement to violence, threats, etc) would be applicable to individuals and to corporations equally.

I would agree that the control that a handful (relative to all corporations) of online companies wield is something quite new (historically speaking) and our laws, regulations, and even legal principles are playing catchup. We may need some original thinking to help us evolve our legal systems to meet the challenge.

Great comment.

It has absolutely been a problem for decades, and most likely a well-known one. I was recently watching a collection of old jokes from Saturday Night Live from the 90s, and came upon this from Weekend Update in 1996:

Yeah I don’t disagree. I was more commenting on the general trend towards China bashing that I’ve seen online more recently. If we don’t bother to make the distinction in our writing we eventually won’t bother to make the distinction in our thinking, which would be playing into the hands of the CCP, who desperately want an enemy in the West.
To be clear: the argument for "worse than nothing" is:

1. PGP email is easy to screw up, even with client support.

2. If you need PGP to work, those screwups are life-threatening.

This isn't an abstraction or a just-so argument. PGP team members have, in the recent past, discussed how DoS attacks on their keyservers were upsetting because dissidents in specific, murderously authoritarian countries were ostensibly relying on PGP.

(They mostly aren't, by the way; they use Telegram, which I trust even less. At least I believe the PGP people mean well.)
That’s the one I was thinking of. Thanks for the correction.
In my case, I can see how to apply those things to personal projects that I have complete control over, but I have trouble imagining myself doing those things in my regular job, in which I have some say in how to implement this or that, but I don't really have any high level control over what features the product is going to have.

Besides having the requisite experience to make decisions, you also need to be in a position of authority that can make decisions, and some degree of veto power over decisions made outside your team that affect your work.
IMO "mistake" implies an incorrect choice, whereas "error" implies an incorrect result. A mistake may or may not cause an error (and an error may or may not be caused by a mistake). There seems to be an element of "could have been done differently" in "mistake" that is absent in "error".

Recently I read an article saying that programmers should reserve "error" for the mathematical usage of "distance from correct result" (as in, behavior of the program), and refer to their bugs and other mistakes as "blunders" instead. I have to think on it more but I like the overall direction of the distinction.
No it doesn't, it just provides proof that you currently have access to that phone number. Phone numbers are not identity.
Zero. So many cases of "poor grandma would lose her house" cases are going to be paraded around, and most of the big money in real estate prefers the status quo too.
If I ever retire and become a cult leader this is my pet religion, I call it Vennism. Combine all the teachings and trim away those teachings that aren't common, what you're left with seems like it would probably be a good religion right?
> I don't know why Tesla and other electric car manufacturers don't yell and shout more about how much better electric cars are for human health in cities.

Well, because they are not that much better. Still more people are killed directly by cars (40,000 a year in the USA, more than guns deaths), and they still cause plastic pollution due to their tires.

If anyone actually cares about pollution or human health, they will not be buying any car.

Our current policy is to retain basic access logs, including IP addresses, potentially indefinitely.

In GDPR terms, we have obvious legitimate interests in being able to identify repeat offenders trying to abuse our system in some way, in being able to identify recurring problems with how our systems are operating, and in tracking long term usage patterns. These interests combined with the very low risk of any adverse consequences should any of the relevant logs leak make our policy of indefinite retention in this specific instance compatible with GDPR in our view.

Incidentally, we have in fact identified repeat abusers returning to our site several years later based on their access patterns and IP addresses as recorded in logs, so there is even an objectively demonstrable long-term threat should anyone ever want to question this policy.
I agree with other commenters that the author’s interpretation of “Show, Don’t Tell” seems off, and/or contrived. In any case, maybe the piece is meant to be meta, like Alanis Morrisette’s “Ironic”, because it seems the author went out of their way to not show any actual examples of how “Show, don’t tell” resulted in inferior writing.

There were letters already and the constitution was covering also written speech or communication by smoke or flags or horns or whatever other means people used at those days to transfer information.

There is also a difference between carrying your speech, which is something specific like transferring your letter to creating the medium itself, the very concept of postal service. A company can refuse transferring your letter but they can't ban you from using a postal service.

In the case of twitter of facebook, their social network is the medium, there is no other twitter or other companies to transfer messages in the twitter sphere. They can do it in other messages sphere but I'd argue it is not the same, a letter can be sent from one home to another by anyone, a twitter message can only be sent by twitter.

We definitely want HN users to feel like their concerns about possible manipulation are heard and taken care of. At the same time we want HN users not to bully and hound each other out of prejudice—which unfortunately is happening, not on purpose but because the frames through which people interpret others' comments are much too small. When someone else's view is, say, more than a standard deviation away from one's own, people don't think "wow, that's really a different point of view". They think "astroturfer", "shill", "spy", "bot", "troll", and even "communist agent".
