"Everyone" is a strong word. People are very different. Some are evil, some are admirable and kind, most have a mix of good and bad traits.

To me, a random internet commenter with no horse in this race, this comment sounds really disturbing, it sounds like you're having some problems warping your world view(or maybe you're just hanging out with the wrong people). I'm not usually the one to diagnose random strangers, but what you're saying sounds pretty extreme. Biased, or influenced by some psychological thing, I don't know. Either way, not factually accurate.

Do you have at least one person that you like, that you can talk to about this stuff?

I don't really know what advice to give you. I'm just gonna say that even though it's easy to see all the ugliness and flaws in human nature, there's a lot of goodness and beauty in it too.

Make an effort to see good in people, or to seek out people that are good. There are plenty.
How do all the people you communicate with via email, text, etc., feel about their contact information and messages with you being so easily accessible? Securing your devices isn't just about you...
It's LGPL, you don't need to pay. Also...

Because Qt is not a particular platform but one of few cross-platform GUI framework.
I might have agreed with you up to ~2 months ago (my 2 Win7 installs had been running for 3-4 years each) until a real, normal, official Radeon graphics card update completely hosed the install. Unusable and unrecoverable from the save point thing, whatever it's called.

Sure, it happens rarely - but it really depends on your usage patterns. If you often have to try out software on a regular basis (I've always used Windows VMs for work stuff when I needed to evaluate things from $randomVendor) it might accelerate this. Or sometimes it's a piece of hardware. yes, some are 90s tales but to some degrees it has persisted.

"The best time to stop using RSA was decades ago..."

There are arguments against using RSA, but I don't see how Quantum Computing is one of those. The common elliptic curve alternatives are even more vulnerable to QC than RSA, while the new QC-resistant algorithms aren't accepted yet.

So if QC is your concern, you have algorithms worse than RSA on one corner, and not-entirely-tested algorithms on the other.
This complaint has never made sense to me; you're selling software/hardware management, not the software itself.

And this is precisely the pain point of the gp... This isn't just reasonable, it's utterly sensible.
Fun fact, it’s the same way ATMs dispense money.
I'm hoping they've implemented some form of localized EMP that you have to pass through now to leave, because large storage is so incredibly small now that it would be impossible to discern it from articles of clothing.

The "hard" part is really just getting the data off the computer in the first place, which is probably why they don't allow bringing in technology anymore.

I wonder how much of a micro computer could be smuggled in one or two parts at a time, stored in articles of clothing, with the intent of simply saving data to a micro SD card which would be the only thing you need to smuggle back out. You would need to be able to assemble the device without soldering.

I guess the easiest would be to build a digital camera to record the screen or photos instead of trying to plug into the computers themselves which probably have robust host intrustion detection and prevention. Or perhaps if you could just record the digital output of the computer before it reaches the monitor. That could be prevented with some form of HDCP though, I think.

This all sounds kind of like a science fiction movie (or In the Line of Fire or that Snowden movie) but it's an interesting thought exercise in any case.
You mean like the Cloudflare Onion Service that we launched a year ago: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-onion-service/ It performs an automatic upgrade to use the .onion from Cloudflare if you use TBB (and Brave).

I suspect there’ll never be an end to these problems until we all evolve to a higher level of thinking and start demanding for specific measurements of performance of the government.
Worthiness is a sort of fundamental. It's hard to argue for or against before getting to a subjective value judgment.

For the purpose of this discussion, I think it's enough to just leave it at "because the psychologist in question thinks it's worthy."
I'm guessing they put a generator per building, and if you pay them, they'll wire your unit up to the generator? Probably split the cabling after the meter (you wouldn't want the municipal meter to be counting power you're buying privately) and allow for a 2nd set of cables as input, with a big switch to toggle between the two.
The network needs both. Too much centralization is a threat to anonymity so it needs users running nodes. At the same time you shouldn't run an exit at home on a consumer connection. Relays are fine though.
From the article:

"Enterprise Edition (EE)
No current changes. We are not adding telemetry services to EE at this time."
You can pass over the same point more than once which would obfuscate the direction of the original passes on the smudge.
Comments like the parent comment never fail to fascinate me - far and away, I have never seen more uncommon/unusual use cases for pretty much anything than I do on Hacker News. I don't mean that in a negative way at all, I mean it's just amazing how diverse a crowd we have on here and I love how many perspectives we end up seeing in the comments.
I'm imagining a ridiculous sci-fi future where self-driving car AI never satisfactorily works, so we just stick trained rats in the dashboard.
Well, one option is to keep key people who don’t want to move remote and then through turnover replace them with new talent just as if the company had stayed. It’s not like key engs stay forever.
Sorry. Still, it never ceases to amaze me what some people end up doing for work. "You mean they pay people for this?!" is usually my first reaction.
Technically Rust only guarantees memory-safety (and only outside of unsafe!{}). It has many features that aid in other kinds of safety - strongly encouraging you to unwrap Option<> and Result<>, requiring all match cases to be covered, allowing for lots of strategic immutability, etc. But it doesn't guarantee that kind of correctness.

i was referring to the fact that last time i checked, HN stripped emoji. hold on let me check:

> Intelligence agencies have hard problems to deal with. On top of it, they are giant bureaucracies which means cockups, incompetence, turf wars, hiding issues are the norm. All that amplifies the problems, causes defensiveness, over-reactions and reactions to reactions.

This is a good point. In an ideal world their job would be less...complicated. So our job as intelligent, capable citizens is to make the system more ideal for them to do their duties.

Making a "captive workforce" out of AI tools and robots is, to me, the ideal solution. Either way it's inevitable. Since no one else will, I'm trying to get out ahead with thoughtful early planning. Communicating a common goal for the nation without fear is the way to get the technology into the hands of the right people. It's up to us, the intelligent and "good people" communicators, to push for it.
You can't measure something without impacting it. Adding spyware to products make them slower.

Here is an alternative solution I begun using for one of my projects:

There is no telemetry like grep in nginx logs with carefully fetch()'ed paths.

Put this in JS code:

fetch("/stats/user_used_feature_x")
fetch("/stats/user_reached_checkout_step_3")
etc.

Then you can find the information you need with:

grep -o ".*/stats/[a-z_]*" /var/log/nginx/access.log

Now you can count how many users reach features and checkout steps.

That is dozens of time more performant than using third party scripts. No extra library.
Not sure this would be fully editorializing, since the updated title (currently "Gitlab mandating third-party telemetry, locks out user access until accepted") is objectively factual and true.
Because the pattern can go back over part of the screen that's already smudged.
I thought about doing this several times but backed off because of dark connotations with death :)
History repeats itself. We had Flash. It was amazing back then. After while, people realized that Flash is actually against core philosophy of web - easy information sharing. Flash sites were poorly indexed by search engines, power hungry and with lot accessibility issues.

Not qt is trying to do basically same what Macromedia did with Flash. Enable rich binary components on a web, with exactly same issues Flash had.

Don't take me wrong, webassembly is great, so is qt. Maybe you can create very specialized electron app with that, but please don't overuse it for generic web content.

You could in theory have a digital safe that you yourself can open with one key, and a quorum set of 2 keys that require both. You distribute 1/2 combination keys to your kids and keep one yourself. When you die your 1/2 key is passed to the kids who can now open the data. The keys themselves are useless without the other keys so anyone in the chain of custody of the key until it reaches your kids wouldn't be able to open the data. No one would have to have your singular key.

They say the BBC bend to the wishes of the current government

It’s easy to prove this isn’t true, by looking at its Brexit output. The BBC represents middle- and upper-middle-class London, regardless of who’s in power in Number 10, and regardless of any other part of the country.

If you read the whole article you will find out that you are in complete agreement with it.
Both if possible. A Pi 3 can saturate its ethernet adapter (~50Mbps) running a Tor relay. It's reasonably straightforward to setup.

You shouldn't run exit nodes from a home connection due to possible abuse. If a person uses it to do something illegal you may end up with law enforcement busting down your door. Relays are safe though.
Yeah this was long ago so I've no idea what their policies are now.

Pure speculation: I have to imagine they take further steps now as what is "no electronics" now isn't reliably what you can easily see now.
These proxies can appear useful, but I'm just going to drop by here to say that this a particularly bad idea to spread among non-technical people.

I've seen these proxies bleed into more problematic Tor use cases among vulnerable individuals. Defaults matter, and as technical people we should assume a bit of 'do no harm' moral responsibility for people who seek our advice.

Tor Browser is painstakingly maintained to be fit for its specific purpose. If you're not authorized to install Tor Browser on a device and to emit Tor traffic on the network you're using, you generally shouldn't access Tor there.

Anyone using Tor to access resources that might get them in trouble in the country they're in should look into proper operational security with Tor Project-provided infrastructure like bridges.[1] The special purpose Tails operating system can be used with bootable USB memory on common hardware like laptops without leaving a trace.[2]

Is there a TLDR or article on a different website not requiring readers consent to tracking?
Hahahahaha. I remember all the fuzz about MS buying github and perhaps forcing telemetry. Something along those lines.

People were so fast to live their stuff to Gitlab without bothering thinking about that business is business.

These fucking corporations or wannabe corporations doesn't give a fuck about you or your data. That's the fundamental mindset you need to have when sending them money for services.

Ain't no such thing as halfway crooks.
It's very negative.
Investment Memo: Otis
Free alternative: use one of several tools that implement Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme to split your master password into chunks. You can create a bunch of chunks and require that at least a certain subset of them be used to recover the password.

For example, you could encode your password into 10 chunks and require that at least 5 chunks be presented together to recover the secret. Any 5 chunks of the 10 (in this example) could be used, but it is mathematically impossible to recover the secret with just 4 or fewer of the chunks (in this example). Thus, you could spread those 10 chunks among 10 trusted friends, the idea being that they would recombine the chunks only in the event of your death. Moreover, if you are not yet dead, at least five of your trusted friends (again, in this example) would need to betray you for your secret to be stolen.
Obesity isn't caused by abundance. On the contrary, poverty is strongly correlated with obesity in the US[1]--which indeed points to an inequality link.

The correlation between poverty and drug use is strongly politicized, so much so that the top search results on Google for "substance abuse and poverty" are all political faux-informational sites. Data is hard to find.

But this is also because the data is less clear. Alcohol/marijuana are used the most in a) high income areas, and b) areas with large income inequality[2] (again an inequality link, but in slightly unexpected ways). I've found numerous sources claiming that two studies exists: The first study supposedly shows that heroin use is rising across all income brackets, while other illicit substances (besides heroin and marijuana) are more prevalent in low-income brackets. The second study supposedly shows that prescription drugs are more prevalent in lower income brackets. However, I have not been able to locate these studies (I'm guessing this is because they are behind paywalls).

Assuming all these sources aren't lying about the studies existing, I think the data does indicate a link between inequality and substance abuse (although it is not nearly as clear as the link between inequality and obesity).

Using DNT as an opt out mechanism is beyond ridiculous. It doesn't impact us yet (EE) luckily. This would put us in a tough spot as we are required to control this sort of thing, but have no way enforcing it with our third party developer community. It is a worrying misstep from my perspective.
I'm curious about the ratio of those unwell folks who are native to the area compared to those who are transplants.

I can certainly imagine a 'homeless pipeline' where the children of the parents who get priced out of housing end up doing drugs on the street, but I also know about bussing the homeless and homeless moving to SF because they don't want to deal with a serious winter.

Agreed. The really satisfying part is when they do stuff on their own.

Why do you not want to use your face? And I don't think the lack of a home button changes whether or not you have to use a passcode. I haven't seen anything to indicate that the new iPhones can't be passcodeless (though I don't want to clear my FaceID data to test this). Just swipe up to unlock.
That is technically incorrect. As I understand it, the iPhones are generic (global), but the iCloud service is what the Chinese authorities have full snooping rights to.

Apple doesn't cut a custom firmware with special/additional golden keys or anything of that nature, as I understand it, for anyone.

The iPhone in this case is safe, assuming you don't use iCloud, in China.
