It is you and law enforcement who are being binary. Plenty of laws are currently being enforced in the presence of strong encryption. The sky hasn't fallen.

In fact, these high profile cases the FBI et al attempt to use as wedges generally involve someone who has already been caught with plenty of evidence, but the authoritarian impulse still demands more.

As far as laws that can only be enforced/observed by reading people's private thoughts and communications, then yes indeed, why have those at all?

This is much better, less alarmist, but I think we'll need the one above sooner or later. BTW, I'm in the camp thinking it will be inevitable, and last week we stockpiled about 1 month worth of food and supplies. If/when it hits our area, we can just stay home.

Mongo and postgress usually is not accessible for clients only for backend. Security handled by backend mostly and there is a plenty of resources how to implement secure server side applications which discusses attack vectors and how to make secure apps. Thankfully to this thread I’ve got few good ideas, that may help to design secure couchdb architecture (such as remove _find endpoint) but I’ve not seen any in-depth document about couchdb.

I've considered this. There's also a huge existing industry and lobbyists whose existence depend solely on the notion that smoking is bad. If everyone stops smoking and starts vaping, they've got nothing to do anymore, no one to get donations or funding from. They're incentivized to create a new boogyman to fight against (e-cigarettes) in order to remain relevant.

I'm thinking of organizations like Truth, D.A.R.E., that sort of thing.

That's all a bit conspiratorial though and I have no evidence to support it.

> As far as your parenthetical example: it's not at all common or reasonable for a user to not configure their local-only mail server and then use it to send remote mail. They'd use a properly configured remote server for that.

I have no idea what makes you think that; you're probably coming from the Linux land where the mail command doesn't work by default? On non-Linux systems, local mail server is normally activated, and is fully capable of sending mail to the remote hosts by default, with a spool and all. The /usr/bin/mail just works, as well as sending mail from anything like mutt and friends, without any configuration (other than specifying an outgoing FROM hostname to not a non-existent one). Unless the outgoing SMTP port is blocked — which it's not on many networks for advanced users — there's nothing to configure.

I can confirm that it’s all about the fundamentals.

You have to realize that, no matter how good your fundamentals and “mechanics” are, they are actually not good and that if you improve them you will just climb and climb.

It’s a bit tricky to figure out what these fundamentals are when you start out - not everything is equal.

The internet has generated this weird subculture of people who get really really upset at people making jokes. It has a "think of the children" sort of moral panic vibe to it. A lot of it has to do with completely ignoring any context or intention from the source material, which isn't how language works in any other context. Jokes inherently use exaggeration and extreme positions in jest which make them easy targets for misrepresentation.

The even weirder thing is it's finding a reception among weak-willed administrators at various institutions who capitulate under the slightest provocation from these small groups of highly vocal outage mobs (largely because these groups have gotten really good at stirring up controversy, and the low-budget modern internet media is perpetually looking for controversy, legitimate or not).

But if you did a survey of the general population (or the institution's actual customers) instead of just listening to these small mobs you'd find that it really isn't that big of a deal to the vast majority of people. The average person understands context and intent - assuming they heard the original source, not the filtered down unfunny reinterpretations that make the rounds.

I was listening to a "best of Jeff Ross" on Youtube recently and all I could think of was that if any of his stuff had been filtered through these cancel culture people over the last few decades he'd basically be considered the devil instead of one of the funniest people in comedy.

I fear for the future of culture, especially comedy, which thrives in a sort of experimental unfiltered chaos. Maybe it will have to live on in the underground like Samizdat in the Soviet Union.

Interesting how, yet again in a conversation about an article that didn't even mention Firefox, an off-topic, Firefox-positive comment rose very quickly to the top of this large thread soon after it appeared isn’t it?

Even in the browser itself, there's a clear delineation between the set of components that change quickly, and the set of components that change slowly—a factoring of layers calling out to be done, that everyone is ignoring. There's no reason for a whole new web browser to be shipped if only the quickly-changing part has changed.

Analogy: why would you ship a new copy of X/Wayland just because your Desktop Environment has a new release? The new DE version uses the same old compositor, because the compositor doesn't change much. So why would it make sense for a compositor to be part of the DE and embedded in the release package for the DE, rather than just requesting the OS to make available to it the services of a compositor of a specific [ABI protocol] version? Even if the compositor and the DE have the same maintainers, it'd make far more sense for them to be two separate projects, with one just depending on the other.

Or, to put this another way: why should ChromeOS devices (= another build target of the Chromium codebase) replace the whole OS image every time some new namespaced CSS layout rule is being incubated? That stuff has nothing to do with running an OS. The parts of Chrome that are an OS—which includes a lot of the stuff that gets installed as "browser" on other OSes!—should really live as OS services, separate from "the browser" (really just the renderer + VM.)

Microsoft took a while but eventually learned their lesson about this, and these days Edge is just an app and updating it doesn't require a restart of your computer. Part of what enabled that was delineating the slower-moving parts of the browser (e.g. the network stack) from the faster-moving parts, and letting the slower-moving parts live in the OS while the faster-moving parts lived in the app. "Edge" is just a renderer+VM. So is Safari, for that matter—what you download when you download "Safari Technology Preview" on macOS is just a renderer+VM, which relies on the same OS-provided libraries for e.g. network caching that the system Safari installation does.
Interesting. I have worked a bit on our calculator in the past (technical implementation).

Some clarifications, best of my knowledge, currently on mobile:

It would be impractical to calculate all the location factors in the world, and in your case it would be calculated. I agree with you that this is less than optimal, as it might stop people from applying if that data is missing. So this is an area where we could improve.

Internal discussions on the calculator have lead to changes, e.g. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/issues/3396
So the calculator or location factors are also up for discussion and iteration.

When you move, higher location factor definitely needs approval, lower doesn’t afaik. To be honest often location changes with a big factor change are across state or country lines, which might mean change of Entities even in Europe. Compare that to a non remote job, if you are bound to an office location: you cannot move.

Personally I haven’t been involved in a location change of a team member, but as a manager I would definitely try to enable my team member to move let’s say from Manchester to London if they do wish.
This decade old article describes an ancient and obsolete language (C++03 probably though some of the text suggests it might be C++98). It's not worth reading in 2020.

Modern C++ is a very different language though it can still almost completely interoperate with quite old code. C++11 and C++14 already addressed most of the things brought up, and contemporary C++ (obviously most code is not in it yet) even supports generic template functions with a straightforward syntax (i.e. use auto instead of <..>).

Breaking the constant want for new things is going to be hard. I know people who basically define themselves by their consumerism, some of them even fully believing that we can somehow consume ourselves out of this climate crisis.

I do try to argue that we should reduce our consumption and buy much fewer, but much higher quality items, which we repair and maintain for a long time, instead of throwing them out and buying a completely new thing.

But I am constantly met with arguments that "no consumption means no growth, and no growth means no life and no progress" and similar arguments. These people have really entrenched themselves in consuming more and more all the time.
Yep, and the process is hard on the kidneys.

> You may be wondering how the European Union will enforce a law in territory it does not control. The fact is, foreign governments help other countries enforce their laws through mutual assistance treaties and other mechanisms all the time. GDPR Article 50 addresses this question directly. So far, the EU’s reach has not been tested, but no doubt data protection authorities are exploring their options on a case-by-case basis.

Again, the risk may be low, but it's there.
Well, sort of. It is the EU's opinion that those laws apply globally, even if they don't have a way to enforce them. Sometimes governments cooperate in helping each other enforce laws in each other's jurisdictions and sometimes they don't.

You could be right, but I think the ethics on it are less neutral than that. (it's hard to say what "a bit" of short selling is -- there are feedback loops in the stock market)

Airlines provide fast connectivity between cities for people and goods, which is valuable in a disaster situation, and by shorting a stock to make a few bucks, you'd be creating unfavorable transportation economics in a disaster situation and possibly worsening supply chain constrictions. A short seller would be profiting off the hardship of others.

Your body learns how to fast, just like it learns how to run. If you fast regularly, you body switches into "fasting" mode quickly, and you feel much less of an impact cognitively or physically, than if you've never fasted before (or haven't fasted for a long time).

If it comes down to who can just survive the longest with zero calories, someone weighing 300 pounds is probably going to out-last me. But if there's any level of physical or mental activity required to survive and/or actually acquire calories, I'm going to have a big advantage.

EDIT And if, as another commenter mentioned, it comes down to making a low number of calories last a long time -- again I'll have a big advantage.
