Signal clients are released aa open source as far as I am aware and mathematics doesn't care about what regime it is developed under.

You guys will normally find me defending Telegram here but the more important point is that we should stick to the facts even if they go in favor of "the other side".
I think some people get shocked of something which may raise from cultural difference, especially compared to highly capital-focused West. Work doesn't have to be modern financial slavery. There are places where there is no overtime or weekend work at all, you go to work to meet nice people, learn interesting stuff and have some common goal which benefits your community. All that is possible.
While I agree with the notion of making things simple, security theater is worse than no security at all because it makes you feel safe when you may not be.

I've thought of this very same thought myself ever since I've had a presence on the fediverse (waaaaay back in the gnu social, statusnet, etc. days). Even if brands only gain the benefit of better control of their brand presence (on platforms that they control) instead of being beholden to the likes of Facebook, etc....I do agree that there's a business to be had for offering commercial social media hosting.

Has DNS yet removed the possibility of an ISP front-running replies for outside DNS? For example, you want to see HN, but Comcast would rather you see HN through their ad-injecting proxy - their systems can see your DNS query and reply with the proxy.

Seems like encryption and signing would help here as well.

>1. The man behind Telegram cannot even safely visit Russia after people with friends in high places stole his previous startup there or so the story goes.

Yeah, exactly. That's how the official story goes. However in reality he seems to often visit the country he is supposed to be in exile from https://tjournal.ru/tech/52954-durov-back-in-ussr https://lenta.ru/news/2017/03/20/durov/

It's also very well documented that Telegram was developed in offices shared with the same startup that was supposedly stolen from him, https://theoutline.com/post/2348/what-isn-t-telegram-saying-...

Unfortunately the western press doesn't really care about Telegram or the Durovs so we don't really have heaps of high quality journalism to count on.

>but you are pointing to something that happened extremely early in the development of Telegram and later fixed

I'm not convinced that this is something that can be fixed. Sure, they removed the backdoor they added but does that really fix the organization?

I think it's utterly irrelevant that this backdoor was added and removed a while ago, the Telegram team hasn't significantly changed since then.

>I've mentioned before you keep throwing a link to an old Russian post in a forun where most people have never read a word Russian

Dysregulation of the inflammatory system is, to a growing extent, being considered as a cause of disease per se. So it's somewhat more complicated than that; it's plausible that the broad anti-inflammatory effects of cannabis could treat a variety of common diseases.

This is not really true[0]:

There is some pass-through effect, but it is not 100%, and varies depending on the particular chemical.

Steve Blank, I think in his original, self-published "Four Steps to the Epiphany", said something like, "But if another bubble comes along, ignore all this, because my advice only makes sense if creating value for customers is rewarded".

I think he was right, and I really hope WeWork is the end of the "Uber for X" wave, wherein losing gobs of money was somehow seen as a sign of success, and not a cause for great shame. It's be nice to get back to actually serving customers.
I expect the folks on the WallStreetBets subreddit to canonize him.
Most of those factors are actually beneficial for the corporations however; less parts and people means less logistical overhead eating away at profits. The increase in reliability is a questionable loss too as most consumers dump their current car every 6 years regardless if it still works or not in their effort to keep up with the Joneses. Beside battery wear will put a hard limit on car lifespan anyway since those giant things are going to be the labor equivalent of an engine swap in order to replace.
> Bike infrastructure IS car infrastructure for the most part.

It is when it's bad, yes. Good bike infrastructure usually involves things like physically separated bike lanes, or off-street bike paths.

> Also, auto drivers pay the exact same taxes that bicyclists do and additionally pay greater taxes in gas and licensing.

I already addressed this in my comment; it doesn't matter when car infrastructure is VASTLY more expensive. Why would it matter that drivers pay double when they cost 10x?

Cyclists subsidize drivers. Period.

> If they’re on the roads, however, they should be forced to pay all the road fees cars have to pay.

The whole reason roads are super expensive is because of cars, not bikes, so of course drivers pay more. If there were only bikes (and scooters and skateboards) on a given stretch of road, it would be called a multi-use trail, and it could be made for much, much cheaper, since the engineering standards would not have to be nearly as high.

Your argument is exactly like if a city got rid of all its sidewalks, forcing people to walk on the road, and then to add insult to injury forced people to be 'licensed' and pay a registration fee to walk about. No freeloading steppers here, no sir! They need to pay their fair share now that they have no good options of their own!

I get that it doesn't jive with your current worldview that cyclists are subsidizing drivers, but it's true. Those cyclists you deride as 'whiners' are paying your way.
It's always interesting to see the weird things that are designed after technology advances but before it is optimized.
Someone on reddit recently bought a new Tesla for $30,000 after incentives (not counting savings on gas, oil, brake pads, and other maintenance). Sure that is double the price of some bottom rung cars but $30k is pretty common these days.
The purpose of puberty blockers is to delay body changes until the teenager (not "child") is ready to decide. They don't cause permanent changes like actual hormone therapy, and trans teenagers can always go through a "natural" puberty later if they change their mind. On the contrary, denying a trans teenager puberty blockers causes permanent changes to the body that are likely to cause massive distress and take many years of therapy, training, and surgeries to correct. Many trans people regard having gone through puberty as literally having ruined their lives.

Pitiful people Comcast, shame on you. This information never should have been sold.
You don't need a proxy for the same reason that your ISP can't read your https data. The data transmitted is encrypted at either end so people passing that data can't read it. Current DNS requests are passed in plain text so all hops along the way can read that information.

However, you are correct that if using some sort of encrypted DNS you'd still have to trust the provider you use to be able to read those requests and have to choose a provider that isn't your ISP (which tends to be the default in most places) and the two primary providers at the moment appear to be Amazon (via cloudflare) or google. To that extent, pick your poison.
I think @Lendal means it was wrong of him to take the information public, not that any of his assertions were wrong in themselves.

> Either you're trying to gaslight me, or we're on completely separate levels.

See how trippingly accusations flow out of you. Seems like you're misinterpreting everything I'm saying, almost deliberately.

> This will be my last attempt at interfacing with you.

Can I have a written signed contract to that effect?

> You did not even allude to the "garbageman/artist" example. You insinuated that I was "complaining" and "feeling entitled to other people's money", which is trite conservative bullshit.

You misread that change "You have no right demanding that other people work to make things you're entitled to. Instead, you have to get it yourself. Learn to be a RN and figure out how to get the money, or stop complaining." I didn't think I had to clarify thatto "Nobody has a right...to make things one is entitled to." That doesn't flow as well.

Even though you're (I'm referring to you personally now) a white male (why does that matter) software engineer (which is a well paid professional job), you personally cannot demand a lear jet, just as a starving artist cannot demand that society supply him with supplies.

> If we keep "sanitation work" and other difficult, menial tasks to their minimum rather than putting people to work for profit first and foremost, then the people who DO clean toilets and collect garbage will have more time in their week to find purpose and actualization elsewhere.

If one (see how that works) keeps those tasks to a minimum, lots of people can't get the only job they're qualified to do. Either qualify for another job and demand more money, or make do.

They increased minimum wage at Target to 15 an hour. People are actually making less now because they cut hours, and they're absolutely dumbfounded. Or they'll automate more things.
>Being in a perpetual state of fever, vomit, or inflammation is clearly an unhealthy state, but that doesn't mean suppressing these symptoms is useful.

A couple of months back, I launched extracttable.com with a post on Hacker News, a week later on Reddit and answered under 10 questions on Quora. My usual nonpaying user traffic comes from Quora and "direct" (as what shown on Google Analytics), the paid clients were from Quora and HN. Looking into the client base, as expected, 80% of them are combined from Data Engineers/Analysts/Scientists and Python developers. So, I was tempted and responded to them to check the last 3 years PyCon conference users filtered by targetted Job titles. While the price they quoted was ranging between 5-10 cents for the 60K user list, I'm just wondering to see if anyone were successful in this approach.
Ok, we've put a control character in the title above.

This kills most Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerabilities, since sites will now need to explicitly opt-in to allowing authentication cookies to be served in cross-site requests.

Of course, it'll probably be a long time before enough browsers support this that you can actually rely on this behavior, and even once support is universal there'll probably still be some sites doing dumb stuff like setting `SameSite=None` on authentication cookies without taking additional precuations, or allowing data to be modified with GET requests. But overall this is a huge win for security on the web.

Previous discussion from back when this was first announced: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19853090
Normal DNS use UDP protocol on port 53.

It's very easy to intercept, monitor and redirect. Which is what we think Comcast is doing.

DNS-over-TLS encapsulate the DNS traffic in a TCP connection with TLS. In other words, all request are encrypted and it's impossible (without installing root cert and MITM) to know what site you're consulting.

DNS-over-HTTPS decide to recreate the protocol as either JSON or dns-message (binary protocol akin to the original DNS protocol) and use an HTTPS request (with HTTP2 minimum and TLS 1.2/1.3).

Different way to achieve the same idea, encrypt your DNS data, the site you visit, only here to also make Comcast think you're consulting a normal website securely.

You're not redirecting all your traffic to a trusted source, just the DNS traffic. Moreover, you can easily setup your own DNS Encryption service or choose a provider you trust.
It is hyperbole, because the situation missing is the nexus with the border.

If web browsers want to allow playing content from DRM'd services like Netflix, they get tangled up in a bundle of regulations like the DMCA and have to use specific services like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widevine

At a lower level, formats like H264 are basically part of the web platform too, so you end up implementing them and that exposes you to software patent laws.

So, in practice: Yes, there are laws browsers must adhere to. If you're willing to strip a bunch of features out of your browser and you live in a country with a less awful legal climate, maybe not too many laws.

For a while the US banned export of encryption if you aren't familiar with that - it impacted stuff like web browsers and resulted in people using 56-bit (!) encryption keys for things.

XFCE and LXCE still provide low resource alternatives to Gnome, KDE and whatever else is popular these days. If you want to go ultra slim, take a tiled window manager like i3. Technically, you don't need Vista capable hardware if you're willing to give up on some modern niceties.

Vista level hardware is 10-12 years old by now though. I don't think it's unreasonable to drop support for hardware over 10 years old for a fully-featured environment. People want new and shiny. Why should I want to give up on some eye candy on my five year old laptop just so that someone else's 10 year old laptop isn't missing out on anything?

Mind you, Firefox and LibreOffice are bigger slowdowns than the rest of my systems and I'm using vanilla Gnome3. The system can still boot a fully featured desktop with less than a gigabyte of RAM in use. Even Vista hardware should be able to cope with that.
Just because the officers don’t respect your constitutional rights doesn’t mean it’s a constitution free zone.
I agree with you, but with a couple of corrections. The cheaper algorithm called Density Functional Theory is probably the most popular kind of quantum calculation on molecules, and scales as ~N^2.5 in practice. On the other hand, the number of basis functions is a more than the number of valence electrons in the molecule (if the calculation is at all sane), much larger than the number of atoms. So the exponent is often smaller than you said, but the N is also much bigger. So in the end you're absolutely right about the need for quantum computing for molecules.

tfandango says> "If I see something and call that number, my identity will be protected. That is the way my company would prefer I handle ethical issues and I will keep my job. If I gather up evidence and release it to the press, I will lose my job."

Do NOT believe that!

The reality is probably quite different. Many organizations (both private and civil) make such promises but, in truth, the complaint phone line/box/e-mail is a direct line to either higher-ups in the company or to someone in another agency who will, very quickly, pass identifying information to higher-ups. The whistleblower will be tracked down mercilessly and driven out always. Those for whom the whistle blows will, not infrequently, be rewarded.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I've been in many public and private endeavors and, in every case, so-called whistleblower phone lines, complaint boards or monitoring companies have proven to be ineffectual and/or downright deadly to the career of anyone who contacts them. They are usually honeytraps for those poor individuals who believe their complaints will be fairly judged.

With reasonable care the press can be relied upon to vent complaints to the public w/o identifying the complainant.

I have a simpler explanation, what likely happens is that most people don't even try to do it (even though they could do so like the case here) because it's different than the social norm, which says that you should be an employee working for someone else.

I'm saying that there are other dignified ways to live that are different, you don't absolutely have to be an employee at all costs.

Independent work, running a small business, those are other alternatives to live that are equally valid.
What you're talking about are things like, when you break a bone it isn't necessarily appropriate to "treat" the inflammation because that inflammation is useful to the healing process. It helps bring blood supply, differences in temperature, etc.

It can also have the opposite of the "intended" evolutionary effect, inflammation pressure closing off blood access to the injured location because evolution is often stupid.
Why not use ffi for this case? Many languages have robust support for linking to Rust code.

> Unlike the SFO → SEA charts, both charts are relatively flat over the years. However, when looking at seasonality, SFO → JFK dips in the summer and spikes during winter, while JFK → SFO does the complete opposite: dips during the winter and spikes during the summer, which is similar to the SFO → SEA route. I don’t have any guesses what would cause that behavior.

This one seems easy:

SF “summer” is actually foggy winter, whereas the winter months are mostly pretty mild. (Admittedly less so at SFO than in the city but it’s often still foggy.)

Airports tend to experience delays in wintery (wind and low visibility) conditions.

Thus the seasonal delay is from arriving at the airport experiencing “winter conditions.”
> I always suspected there were dark patterns at play in the App Store though.

Here's one I found: you can't install a lot of applications unless you're on the latest-and-greatest OS version. This punishes people who are more conservative with upgrades, and don't want to jump to an OS before it's fully cooked. You'd think they could just offer to let you install the latest compatible version.

In terms of limited connectivity: mesh connectivity is theoretically sufficient. Putting all qubits in superposition in a preparation phase then allows you to do any arbitrary quantum computation by a sequence of measurements and one-qubit operations. You would be doing one-way measurement quantum computing, and not quantum circuits, but it's just as universal.
