Because this article is an explanation to the anti-encryption crowd the author takes his time to lay out their arguments as a token of understanding their position. Still, i want to bitch about some of them.

> In my work at the FBI, I encountered directly how encryption makes it harder for law enforcement to detect, prevent and solve certain types of crime in specific instances.

Encrypted data is a known unknown. This doesn't work as an argument without speculating on the scope of unknown unknowns.

> I’m confident that this problem can be addressed from a technical perspective. In most cases, it’s just software, and software can be rewritten.

That works both ways. ( Source code for effective encryption is less text then this blog piece )

> the United States has not experienced a terrorist or other attack of sufficient magnitude where encryption clearly played a key role in preventing law enforcement from thwarting it

And i can't think of any realistic scenario in which it would.
The window of cause-and-effect is extremely small. The attack needs to hinge on the tools that the US has authority over. i.e. Why would Osama use WhatsApp on an iPhone in the first place?

> inherently vulnerable network of networks

This is the wrong way around. Its a 'network of inherently vulnerable networks'.
Which is the safest option. ( As the author later notes but doesn't reflect on )

I suspect the think was more along the lines of: let's slip it in and hope nobody notices or at least the ones that notice don't raise a hue and cry about it.

And now that it's turned out to be false, the dominant strategy is to offer a half apology along the lines of "We're sorry, we didn't expect that it'd be such a big deal".

Incidentally, it's quite reminiscent of the Grace Hopper quote: "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission."

Definitely, yes. CSS (just as HTML, JS, and anything else being served) is covered by copyright. The law(s) may vary depending on jurisdiction, but generally speaking you can be sued for copyright violation. Getting caught is a different matter, but if it is obvious that you copied CSS you can be in serious legal trouble.

The entire nature of self hosted is that it is for companies or people who want more control. It’s Seems ill advised and unlikely for gitlab to force telemetry on those users.

What’s interesting is that I’m pretty sure the beautiful quote about ghosts that he attributes to Carlyle is actually Borges himself (or at least, when I search for it, all I find is Borges “quoting” it, not any original).

Given that others also asked, I'll give a rundown of the discussion:

The context of the discussion was cpuguy83's suggestion that compared to AMD, Intel has been "suffering from shortcuts leading to Spectre/Meltdown and the performance regressions due to patching those".

cpuguy83's comment was very concise, so let me elaborate that the distinction between Spectre and Meltdown is essential here. Both are security flaws in CPUs that were published at the same time. Spectre is an industry-wide problem that also hit AMD, but "Meltdown" is the result of an Intel-specific implementation choice that I think one might fairly describe as a "shortcut". (Even IshKebab later agrees: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21342048) Meltdown was also more immediately dangerous, and the software workarounds that were necessary to mitigate it in existing CPUs cost a lot of performance.

Given this context, I'll quote the relevant item from cpuguy83 again and then IshKebab's reply:

> cpuguy83: Intel [... has been ...] suffering from shortcuts leading to Spectre/Meltdown and the performance regressions due to patching those.

> IshKebab: AMD chips suffer from Spectre too (which is the hard to fix issue). They didn't really take any fewer "shortcuts" than Intel. And they weren't "shortcuts".

Note how IshKebab carefully ignores the Meltdown part of cpuguy83's comment to be able to claim that Intel hasn't been doing any worse than AMD, and that there were no shortcuts. For Spectre in the stricter sense, that's technically true. It's not true in the context of the entire Spectre/Meltdown event, which was cpuguy83's argument.

I read them to mean that the fact that no Dutch girl is doing it is indicative of exploitation.
Dutch people generally have lots of opportunities that many other nationalities don't.

It's impossible to look at someone and tell with certainty that they are being exploited, but it's easy to look at a group of people and notice if any of them are from the local privileged peoples, and if most of them are from poorer regions.
"Researchers at the University of Richmond in the US taught a group of 17 rats how to drive little plastic cars, in exchange for bits of cereal."

Well, if you had a flir camera looking over your shoulder the tracing effect (caused by localised heating of the screen) would still be there. I actually heard it is a legit method to defeat pin entry systems. If you can get to the terminal soon enough it was used, relevant keys will be a little hotter than the other. This will be visible with flir. Then all you have to do is figure out the order of digits.
There are so many issues in play here. Some plain legal, others based on expectations.

1. DSGVO means opt-in when collecting private information not necessary for the usage of the product (and even then it's dicey). Making the use of your product dependent on accepting private information gathering is illegal. DNT is logically a valid way to opt-out (apart from browsers dropping the feature and users not knowing about it), but that's not enough here. It would be different if DNT was enabled by default (I assume), but all browser makers dropped the ball here years ago.

2. You built a reputation of the people's git provider, albeit in conflict with the completely free alternatives. And now you make a post "we will change it, you have to accept the new TOS, and there will be a service interruption", like a generic US company might do. It's unfitting to you. It does not matter that the products concerned are not free.

3. The right solution exists and would not hurt you. I assume you want telemetry data to improve the product (if not the issue is even bigger). So you add that option and ask them whether he would be okay to activate it, like Mozilla is doing in products like Firefox. This scheme works and data gets collected anyway, a bit less, but that should not be an issue. Careful: Admins must be able to remove the prompt for all their users if it arrives in the self-hosted products.

4. Pick a data collection destination that is the least controversial. In your case that should be inhouse. Alternative might be a privacy focused organization in Europe, but it has to be known to your customers.

5. If you think DSGVO does not apply to you realize that it does not really matter since the sensible parts of it are also the ethical correct way. So in any case it is good to follow the spirit of it.

6. Note also how matter of fact and corporate the language used in the blog post is. That can only worsen the impact on those that care about you and the topic.

That's the vibe I get on just about every one of Gitlabs new screed posts on here recently. Hopefully there actually is some employee consensus on decisions, though.

I needed something like this when I was in India for 5 months! Except there was no generator, so I'd just sleep my laptop when it ran out of battery. At least I didn't try using a desktop.

I was interested in monitoring it at the time, so I wrote SMC voltmeter, an app to measure the input voltage. If you're interested in auto-detecting the power source to your laptop, my open-source code might be useful, so please give it a look!

The implications of human trafficking - it seems more likely that the industry is partaking in human trafficking if they need to source the women from out of state, since they can't find enough local women willing to engage in it.
I believe the implication is that many of the women employed were coerced or trafficked; it not being an industry that employs locals makes that a reasonable suspicion.

It's not just a concern for sex work; manufacturing, seasonal trades and agriculture attract human trafficking, for instance.
Please have your co-workers stop spamming the same comments in every HN thread about Gitlab's poor decision.
> And in a way it exploits these people even if it’s their choice.

How, exactly?

Your position is that they’d be better off with a different job, but presumably we’re talking about adults there by choice.

How is voluntary prostitution more exploitative than, say, a construction worker? ...or even third shift at a grocery store?

I mean, if your point is Marxist all labor for pay is “exploitation”, okay — but otherwise, I don’t see how adults choosing a profession exploits them.
Yea RICH people will do that. Everyone else will be living in third world conditions, and that's apparently okay.

IIRC sourcehut/srht uses either JavaScript at all or very minimal non-third-party JS.

Sourcehut came to my attention due to similar concerns with GitHub. Didn't take GitLab long to go from alternative to this.

> some of the things we thought would help (respecting DNT) don't seems to matter much

DNT is dead as a dodo, and many people either use browsers that no longer support it or are strongly resistance to enabling it because it's used as a signal in fingerprinting browsers.

I'm not sure why you thought DNT would help.
There is a big market IMO for companies that want to offer a managed grafana to their users. Just take a look at the latest offering from Logz or hosted-graphite. We also do it where I work. It is really not easy, but I hope it will get better. I would happily pay to get support from them and features that facilitate my life.

I usually stay the heck away from parenting articles but there was a genuine honesty to this one.

> "The women in these groups had bent over backwards to be welcoming"."

People love to believe that mom's groups are full of snotty judgments and anti-vaxx sentimens which is rarely, if ever true

> "My baby alone had the brilliant promise of profound intelligence shining out of his eyes."

Shhh - we're not supposed to admit that!

> "Every story about parenting has to do double duty as a story about how I am such a good parent."

I am pretty impervious to guilt trips, but 90% of parenting articles are just flat out boring. I don't know why it can't be addressed with any sort of intelligence and introspection.
Human trafficking exists in many industries where employing local labour is the exception; it could be that the tolerance of sex work and its unlikelihood of hiring locally sourced labour makes it attractive to human trafficking.
My bigger problem is that gitlab wouldn't allow me to register user account with yandex email, saying 'email is not from an allowed domain'

That's all true, but assumes a quick move.

A move strategy could be as simple as, opening up an office in a cheaper location:

1. New teams are created at the new location.

2. New hires on existing teams are placed at the new location, with exceptions if teams have a strong need to be in the same place.

3. Make it clear that you'll help people relocate to the new office if they choose to--some people will take you up on it.

Eventually, the original office will shrink and remaining staff can be allowed to work remotely (which should be a big part of a culture anyway, IMO).

Turnover is already high at tech companies, but in this case your turnover facilitates the move--as people leave at the old location you replace them at the new one. There will still likely be some turnover caused by even the slow move, but that turnover already exist with any move--even the move to south SF will probably cause some turnover because the location is just less convenient for some people.

This isn't a very helpful argument. I live in Oakland and commute to San Francisco and rarely take Bart because there are many other options that don't involve me breathing directly from someone else's exhalation like we all are forced to on Bart.

I think this shows off far more power than the Haskell version; a rather straightforward implementation which is faster than the original but not with the optimizing the author went through with the Haskell version.

Readability wise this suffers (not everyone will recognize the cr lf space tab sequence and then it would be really hard to understand I would think) but I don't find it much more unreadable than the faster Haskell versions (you need a lot of prior knowledge to fluently read those as well) and at least the q version is built from primitives while with Haskell it needs quite a lot of libs to make it perform at all. I like Haskell (and more static typing in general) but I also like having 1, short, manual and being able to implement everything I want to implement without having to include many (unknown/potentially painful) libs but without writing 10000s of lines of code either.
