Note that warrantless and illegal bulk military intelligence gathering and “law enforcement” in the US are now practically indistinguishable: several US federal law enforcement agencies, including the DEA and FBI, receive intelligence products from
the military’s domestic spying apparatus, which they then use to conduct what’s known as “parallel construction”: illegal evidence that they then use in court, unrelated to the spying (because that’s illegal, as well as the evidence that they found later as a result of the illegal spying).

Additionally, federal “law enforcement” (and concentration camp-operating) organizations like the CBP are engaging in domestic mass spying using aircraft to collect mobile phone identity data from millions, even for peaceful protests and the like. There isn’t really a line between “state surveillance” and “law enforcement” anymore in the US.

The title of this item as I submitted it to HN prior to its edit by mods ended in “to aid in state surveillance”, which I think is a more plain, accurate, and unbiased description of the practice, as I think that pretending that this illegal military spying practice (PRISM et al) has anything to do with legitimate “law enforcement” is basically state propaganda at this point.

I stand by my previous snarky, HN-rulebreaking flame of Zoom’s announcement of end to end encryption support from a month ago:

Yes, and the parent is advocating for North American equivalents.

I'm asking for European equivalents to AMD/Intel and Microsoft/Apple, which underpins our entire economy.

You could make a lesser case about Google/Facebook but realistically if they went away our governments would continue working.

If Microsoft deactivated our operating systems _or_ productivity software, our economy would be put back at least a decade.

If there were do you think we'd be having these discussions? I mean the point of destroying evidence is to leave no trace, and you can't really do a study of things lost and forgotten... like you can't do a study or trace all the destroyed works of art and writings of the ancient world that have been destroyed and don't have copies of which nobody has ever seen except the original eye witness, who if they're alive - couldn't recite the book or re-paint the work of art...

In times of mass insanity, I find comfort in the esoteric.

Groupthink, the mob-mind, is really a thing. There is a flipping point for all of us as individuals, where we become a greater unit of life.

Theosophy has an interesting word for this phenomenon, as it plays a part in the human world, in surprising ways.

Reddit is a purveyor of esoteric thought-forms, but is unfortunately run by materialists. This begets a great deal of turmoil for all involved - among, what has to also be respected, mass agreement. If you're "not one of them", reddit is a place to find others, just like you.
Speculation is a thing. Not only could users be mining for zero profit, they could be mining at a loss but expecting speculative gains in the future.

It just takes some funding to do this. Its not out of the question.
I'm actually aiming to do that in a series of post in the upcoming month(s)... I've started with a noob-friendly (written by a noob!) introduction and plan to continue with installer, basic package creation, module creation, discussing how to do rollback, what are generations etc. etc. ... I did some presentations on NixOS and these topics so I'd like to distill that into a short and easy to grasp blog posts @ https://nixos.online - feedback is more than welcome!
Maybe I could also include my own cheatsheet, which is refurbished version of the "official" one, but just for the basic commands in direct comparison to Debian-like distros.
No it's not, it's worked completely find in several countries such as South Korea. The more organised ones have already almost eradicated the virus.

I was watching a TED talk on the fourth phase of water [0] by Gerald Pollack where he said that we don't know why clouds form the way they do. Given the popular theories, the vapour particles should distribute evenly across the sky. In part, the talk is about how little we actually know about water.

Could you give specific examples?

If we look at the heat maps on wikipedia, it is clear that regions difference exist in Sweden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sweden#/m...

Population density is also not a major difference between Malmö and Copenhagen. 4,049/km2 vs 4,400/km2. Stockholm however does have 5,200/km2.

In absolute numbers, Copenhagen is almost twice the total size than Malmö, but the only other city we can then compare to is Aarhus that is 2/3 of the size of malmö and a drastic lower density of 2,874/km2. At best we can make an argument that you can not compare Malmö to any city in Denmark since no city in Denmark is close to the same size and population density.
Absolutely, and as far as I have heard he is not avoiding responsibility to his organization's actions and decisions, so far he is not talking about resigning but definitely about learning from mistakes.

But many of the mistakes were made above or parallel to him, some are not directly related to Corona or health, for example privatization of elderly care homes or the number of immigrants living in crowded conditions.
that's what electrical tape is for... I mean 'oops I got some oil on the lense....my bad' could be a valid excuse... Maybe they're a messy eater and just drizzled some jelly donut all over the lense... sure it might still catch audio but is that good enough for courts?

I’m interested in what those use cases that you suggest exist are. IPFS has, so far, really not impressed me (nearly all uses I’ve seen so far could literally be replaced with BitTorrent without problems) - I don’t see how integrating it into Matrix fundamentally changes anything.
Or you could just continue to use fiat and credit.

Reddit is a mess, on all sides. It's ok, in the quest for social justice, to just go on witchhunts and post videos of anyone online.

I can't imagine the amount of unjust damage they have done by just randomnly posting peoples photos and names online.

Take for example the "Karen" meme. Any suburbian mum who has a fit in a public space is now called a "Karen", and it's fine to post their video online to mock them and hopefully "get them fired".

A 5 minute mistake can cost you your career. That just doesn't seem like a road to progress, or a better world imo. Chasing absolute morality without a shred of empathy.

The website is the online personification of "Lord of the flies".
DD here. The main "barrier" is the level of quality required.

Simply throwing a bunch of files into a package or a container is very quick.

Making an official Debian package is not supposed to be quick. DDs thoroughly review and test the software they are packaging.
While packaging I often chase missing licensing information, find plenty of bugs, write systemd unit/init files and sandboxing, write manpages, functional tests, and sometimes find serious vulnerabilities.

I worked on various packaging and deploying systems, and most other distributions don't come anywhere close to this level of scrutiny.

I should also add that becoming a DD requires years of commitment and proven track record of work.

The next time someone complains that making a container is very easy in comparison they should ask themselves: how much can I trust a software source with a very low entry bar?
We downweighted it as a follow-up submission [1]. Follow-ups are by definition repetitive, and repetition goes against curiosity which is the root principle here [2].

I'm sorry, because this seems like a good project, and as a reader I approve. But as a moderator, the perspective is different—the quesiton is always, is there enough SNI (significant new information [3]) to support a significantly different discussion? in this case vis-à-vis https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23393914, which has been on the front page all day? The answer seems to be no, because the comments in this thread aren't about the specifics of the repository—they're just about the general topic of police brutality. In other words this thread just gets sucked into the stronger gravitational field of the more generic topic, which unfortunately is what happens to most posts that fly too close to a large hot planet (i.e. a hot ongoing thread).

All that said, I'm tempted to contradict myself ("very well then I contradict myself") and dump the other thread in favor of this one, because I can feel there's something interesting here. So how about a compromise: if someone still feels like this post is interesting after, say, two weeks have gone by, they can email hn@ycombinator.com and we can arrange a repost. I was originally going to say one week, but that's sort of on the cusp between now and the future. Two weeks is more on the future side.

You are absolutely correct. A lot of these protests start out peacefully and are then instigated by police.

Here's a video of the Seattle police instigating violence: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/gv0ru3/this_is_the...

A cop felt so threatened by a pink umbrella that he just had to have it, at all costs.

I've been watching (and attending) a lot of the Portland protests and it's the same story here. Peaceful protesters, violent police. They're all fully geared and armed, and yet feel threatened by water bottles being thrown at them. They feel so threatened by the people that just having protesters get close to a fence around the Justice Center will cause police to start firing rubber bullets, flash bangs, smoke bombs, and tear gas at unarmed and unprotected protesters. Police feel so threatened by unarmed protesters that they now need the help of fully-armed, fully-geared, completely decked-out national guard. This is an embarrassment for police.

Not that any of this is a surprise, anyway. A police officer felt so threatened by an unarmed, handcuffed black man that the had to murder the unarmed, handcuffed black man.
Not to mention Spotify or the early days of YouTube. Money is power, with enough of it you can bend the law.
No, but I have had a discussion with someone on the next door social network (for discussing with neighbours). I was trying to understand their objections to 5G, and it boiled down to them conflating frequency and power.

So, when they heard 26GHz, that meant 26 times more power than 1GHz. The higher frequencies are what scare them, even though they are less than visible light.

Morph is another great alternative to NixOps (well, it's not a replacement per se, but it's easier to use and lightweight in comparison to NixOps). It's basically just a really nice wrapper that allows you to easily deploy smaller herds of servers (~100 and less). I wholeheartedly recommend trying it out https://github.com/DBCDK/morph

Chiming in with yet another alternative, I had success with https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william which is also Go, but is compatible with the original python wormhole.

I think the main difference is that webwormhole tries to use STUN/firewall hole punching to connect two nodes, while the original implementation will use a TCP-TCP relay as fallback.

I recently needed to transfer a 30 GiB file within a restricted network but the firewall blocked webwormhole, so I ended up with -williams instead.

Hopefully at some point all these project can converge into something that supports ALL the solutions :-)
Good call. This would be the second part to study 'how riots escalate to revolution'. First things first; from demonstration to riots.

It's a tremendous story - and all the details make explanatory sense. But I'm a little skeptical, because if the seasonal effects were big you would be able to see them in the overall hashrate graph at the bottom?
The reason why we don't see consumer price inflation is that most central bank policies do not actually involve consumer goods. Stocks, education and housing are inflating according to conventional economics. If you were to fund a UBI by printing money then the printed money would be spent on consumer goods and you would see consumer inflation.

That's presumably against the terms of service they agreed when they decided to work with GrubHub. The real fix would be for the restaurant to stop using GrubHub. Unless I'm really misunderstanding what's going on here.
The people who set the laws around radio communication regulation, those who implement that regulation, as well as the people who set police policy and budgets, prefer it that way, as they are part of the ownership class that the police actually do protect (and not the ones they murder or oppress indiscriminately).

To them, the general public having visibility into the things done by the police or the military in their name is a bad thing, and the public’s money should be spent on systems to conceal those activities from public view. Transparency is something to be avoided, in the view of secrecy-heavy, military-inspired DHS (which is the driver, both policy and funding, behind much of the local domestic COMSEC upgrades).

If you want it to change, you need to bark up a different tree.
It’ll work, may have to disable secure boot/enable legacy BIOS mode though. Of course you’ll be limited to 4GB RAM and there may be software you use that’s gone 64 bit-exclusive in the past few years.

I know from having been in the YC community for over 10 years, that a lot of effort goes into identifying and supporting startups founded by PoC and/or servicing particular needs of PoC communities, as well as raising awareness and providing education with a view to increasing startup participation and success among PoC in the long term.

I know they wish they could do more, and that they keep working to figure out ways they can do more.

Individual partners are supporting the cause in their own way (YC chairman Sam Altman posted in Instagram earlier).

Well, a binary often needs at least one configuration file, so it's probably not just that. I think it's easy enough: You just precreate the directory structure, place the files, add DEBIAN/control, and then it's one command. If it can be even easier that's really cool :)
> human rights ... they're not compromisable ... or there's some greater good that needs to be enforced ...

Well, there is (was?) the Patriot Act because 3000 were killed in a terrorist attack. This allowed for indefinite detentions, unwarranted search and surveillance, etc. If it is still in act, then it lasted almost 20 years.

I don't assume you agree with measures like the Patriot Act, but I think some weeks of quarantine can be justified by the more than 100000 covid victims in the US, so far.

Hey everyone

Happy to introduce you to Sol today!

Sol brings the brilliance of dawn and dusk into your pocket. It shimmers at night to the twinkles of stars and glows just before sunrise. It helps you become more mindful of your time, day or night, by tracking the position of the sun, the moon and its phases visually on your phone or tablet.

Not only does it present you with a beautiful snapshot of your sky, but it also lets you scroll in a circular path around the screen, like using an iPod Classic, to go forward or backwards in time, all the while transitioning a spectrum of solar hues that change and simulate the opacity of the sky during different parts of your day.

Sol features a timezone manager that displays your favorite locations. Each location tile displays its time, timezone offset to your location, and window into its sky. You can even check out Antarctica and its perpetual dawn or dusk!

Sol also features a weather view (NOTE: Requires an add-on subscription) that displays conditions for any major town or city in the world. The weather is beautiful when combined with the changing color of the sky for each time window.

A lot went into the design inspiration of the app. The core tenets were to maintain restraint in adding interface components and capturing the essence of the hues of dawn and dusk. In doing so, the app behaves and looks very different from other apps in its category. It prods you to interact with the sky and time, to explore other locations and to gain an appreciation of the solar and lunar cycles that occur silently above our roofs.

Sol also works great as a visual-assist to counter time-blindness, particularly when under extended lockdown or when working nights.

It was a labor of love for the most part - I hope that you would be able to appreciate it as a companion to your home screen as much as I do.

Stay safe!

Fair point with regards to government overeach. I feel like this is both a practical and political question we would need to answer as a society. What level of surveillance would be acceptable? Zero? Some? Maybe when for temporary accounts with no identity attached?

Inheritly in society, there was always some form of surveillance. When we left our homes, people around us could see and hear what we are doing and there in report suspicious behavor. Now we are adjusting to a new way of life with new forms of surveillance which are harder to detect. I completely get it and I more for encryption then for not. I guess I am also challenging myself to see both sides and think about a middle ground.

While Western governments could be better behaved, I'm feel like comparisons with the stasi are somewhat extreme and out of wack. I live in the UK and generally speaking I'm happy with the government here when it comes to surveillance. Maybe the US has a greater focus on security but they are a long way from stasi.
Weren’t Grubhub also found stuffing their routing phone number for unclaimed restaurants in Google Maps?
> The people that drove up and shot dead a security guard have killed.

What security guard. I googled this since I haven't heard anything about it and it seems that it happened in Flint on the 6th of May before the protests and was about face masks and not police brutality. Or are you talking about a different murder? At first glance, this just seems like misinformation.
I wasn't there, but apparently Taligent was a failed C++ operating system from Apple and IBM in the 90's.

The radios are re-keyed periodically over the air, or at least they can be. Not sure how often it happens in practice.

There’s also a capability, mandated by the federal interoperability standards (compliance with which federal free money to upgrade local PD radios hinges upon) to zeroize (erase/disable) encryption keys in a radio remotely, for example if one is lost or stolen, to prevent rogue network access.

Misuse of the rekeying admin keys to remotely disable police radios in bulk is a very interesting DoS, and one that should be noted well by (usually civilian outsourced) police radio maintenance admins presently reading this comment if cops or other users of these encrypted radio systems start being deployed to mass murder civilians.

As I understand it, the same interoperability protocols also can interrogate the radios for their locations if GPS equipped. (I have not personally read the spec docs yet.) I’d love to see the mashup made of that data, or an oversight organization using it to track criminal cops and parallel construction efforts.
My last 3 clients wanted me to rewrite their React Native apps back to native iOS and Android like in a separate codebase. I’m not sure if this is a trend but their common complaint was that they are sick of the performance of the app and each platfrom has a unique bug. Also this one project written in RN took like a year to develop.
