For the last 10 years, encryption/privacy has become the watchword for people around the globe. I remember back when gmail was the first to use HTTPS for email and people freaked out. Today it's an expectation for everything and every service.

I think there are competing concerns here. The need for privacy and the need for safety. In order to keep everyone safe, we need to monitor what your doing. Some people will buy this, others wont. I think it depends on if you trust the monitor.

Its back to the 'do you have anything to hide' conversation, which I think misses the point. The point, I think, is that there is a fundamental right to privacy, that in some sense, is frustrating and annoying. It's the battles over WhatsApp, Apple IPhones, etc.

Safety and Freedom don't always go hand-in-hand. I remember watching TV shows/movies back in the day where there Soviets with AK-47s asking people for their 'papers' as they get on a train. Today there are armed police walking the hallways of my kids schools, at concert venues, TSA screeners at the airport, etc. There is a price for safety imho. There's a price for freedom too.

I'm not sure what the right answer is, but i wholly support petitions like this because they are the voice of the people.
Thanks. So here are the points for D according to the table. Very few breaking changes because language is pretty mature. Not sure if Nim is as stable but just this one fact is enough for me personally.

D has slices, ranges and lazy evaluation which is a joy when you do data number crunching. Nim does not have them.

Also no mention of dpp in a table is surprising tbo.

D PRs take time mostly because they go through a rigorous community review. And by that I mean your PR does need to hit the quality bar. Which is only good and does not make a language a sandbox of community features like C++. See the PR for macros in D and why it didn't happen. Another reason is the lack of people of course.
It's not unusual to spell "beaucoup" phonetically on purpose, to convey an Americanized pronunciation.
That would be considered very suspicious and alert the team immediately, plus they would have been trained to deal with that. I had no reason to feel threatened by them as I haven't done anything wrong. I just used the chance to practice some past training, buy myself time to figure out WTF was happening then broke off at a point where that would seem legitimate to them without them sensing it was what I was doing. It may well have been a genuine criminal investigation I'd somehow walked into by accident so I had no desire to compromise that.
Well hello there Swyx ;)
When I got to university I knew NET SEND only from ad-hoc networks with my buddies. On one of my first days in the CIP I wondered if it worked the same way in a real professional network. Never expected it to, so I tried it - just to proof my expectations. The shock came when the whole hall beeped in unison. Other than you, I sat there and desperately tried to act normal in the best Mister Bean fashion. Luckily no one cared, so all was good.

I had a similar experience a little later when I tried if I could reach the webserver I had started on the uni workstation from my home. To my big surprise it worked and I figured if I could reach it from my home, everyone could from everywhere. This was a big wonder for me. Of course, back then nothing was NATed and not much was firewalled.

Those were the times and fun times indeed.
DDG can do what they want and people can as a result publicly state their opinions on it. Freedom goes both ways.

GP also forgot about Snapchat, the one competitor that did not agree to be bought. Facebook, in response, just copied Snapchat features in Instagram, and waited them out. Because they could.
Facebook has a good message-distribution-thing going though. If you're a student, there's plenty of official and semi-official info-distribution via FB, WhatsApp etc. My local government uses FB more than their own Website. If you want to know whether you still have to wear a mask next week, you need to check FB. That's a strong value proposition, because you can opt out, but you're going to pay for it by not receiving information / receiving it delayed.
Interesting, I had heard somewhat of a different take from Der8auer (who is associated with Thermal Grizzly). In [2] he explains that Kryonaut is a fairly wet thermal compound and that it does indeed suffer from the pump-out effect, and that in direct die applications like GPUs they recommend replacing it once per year.

That is the reason why I let issues that sound bad, uncommented for at least one day.
When you read it later again, you have a completely different mind about it, often a better one.
Ok Swyx, but don’t you think your comment is a little on the nose?
I've noticed that many people abandoned their blogs in favor of Twitter, where they developed a habit to build long threads in form of 1/2-sentence paragraphs. It troubles me, because I think Twitter is not a healthy medium for public discourse.

I believe microblogging is reshaping the way we approach public discussion as a whole. Limited capacity for expression and implicit ability to take everything out of context can lead to frustration and miscommunication.

The Europa article links to this document in French: http://www.eurojust.europa.eu/press/Documents/2020-07-02_Enc...

Some parts:

> "Dès 2017, les téléphones utilisant le moyen de communication sécurisée EncroChat sont détectés par le département Informatique Électronique (INL) de l'Institut de Recherche Criminelle de la Gendarmerie Nationale (IRCGN)"

First device using EncroChat were discovered in 2017.

> "La JIRS de Lille s'est saisie de l'enquête sur la solution de communication chiffrée EncroChat à raison de la localisation de serveurs en assurant le fonctionnement."

Special section JIRS in France was mandated to investigate because the servers used by EncroChat were hosted in the north region of France.

> "un dispositif dont la conception et le fonctionnement sont couverts par le secret de la défense nationale, mais qui a été reçu et déployé par un service habilité par la loi pour ce faire, le Service Central de Renseignement Criminel de la Gendarmerie Nationale (SCRC) du Pôle Judiciaire de la Gendarmerie Nationale (PJGN) en application de l’article D15-1-6 du Code de procédure pénale."

The "device" (not necessarily a hardware device) used to intercept coms are classified but was "received" and "deployed" by "Service Central de Renseignement Criminel de la Gendarmerie Nationale".

So it was deployed by French police but it's not clear if they made it.
As a follow up on this website's name. What does "web dark age" mean to HN people? I've seen political comments but no consensus yet.

For a long time I have thought of it as a period where all our data was stored in decaying media that would be lost to future historians, much like the real dark ages. My source for this idea comes from sci-fi author Charles Stross:

>In the future, the 20th century will be seen as a dark age — while previous centuries left books and papers that are stable for centuries with proper storage, many of the early analog recordings were stable enough to survive for decades, but the digital media and magnetic tapes and optical disks of the latter third of the 20th century decay in mere years. And if they don't decay, they become unreadable: the original tapes of the slow-scan video from the first moon landing, for example, appear to be missing, and the much lower quality broadcast images are all that remain. So stability is important, and I'm not even going to start on how we store data and metainformation describing it.

I wrote this as I recently picked up meditation (in the past year) and have found tremendous benefits professionally. This article explores exactly why this happens.
There is making encryption tools and then there is using them. "don't rely on others to encrypt your comms" means don't let others use encryption on your behalf, it means encrypt it yourself. It also does not mean to make your own encryption tool.

So your comment parent meant use a reputable tool yourself. And I would agree with that.
Perhaps they were going for non-repudiation?

> In a democratic country, you stand for elections to become a peoples representative.

Participatory democracy doesn't mean that responsibility ends the moment one gets off the voting booth. In fact, the resposibility starts right there, by casting the vote, to ensure that the representative works for the benefit of people.

Us Indians just find the latter part, of dealing with that responsibility, a lot harder, and just convince ourselves otherwise.

And anyone else would get termed "activist" "leftist".

Left => left nothing. Left out off the mainstream (development, benefits, facilities), for being contrarian.

Not left as in left hand side.

Why should it be? The work I do and the value I provide is the same regardless of location. Oftentimes, remote work is even more valuable in terms of productivity gains so they should be paying me even more than locally.
One figure I have yet to see reported with such news is the change in the street price of drugs caused by the action.

OK, you think the EU wants to deliberately damage itself, like your bank robber analogy. You're welcome to your opinion.
It would be interesting to know how they've built out this ontology. I'm sure they seeded it with something that they acquired from some company that specializes in this sort of thing.

I think that's how they got in trouble a few years back because their initial one had subjects like "Nazi", etc., and you could buy ads targeting people interested in Nazis. I'm sure they've since gone through and methodically cleared out those sorts of subjects.
If it were 35 years ago, this was probably some logistics or finance systems? These were the first things adopting computers.

Nowadays I'd say it's 50/50 whether a new project there will last a while. More than half the work is pet projects that won't ever be used for real, if at all. While the other small half can live for many years. It's possible to get a pretty good idea of where it's heading from the start, with experience.

I do have to wonder how many parents have simply been confronting over the last few months how much of their children’s upbringing is typically someone else’s responsibility, now that it is theirs again. Raising kids is hard work, but it’s rewarding right?

Are working class people with children but without college degrees or nice jobs writing in places like the NYT having this problem, or has it always been this hard for them?
It's because DDG has been shilling on HN for quite a while.
It's a shaky argument, because ideally these systems would be so secure that they wouldn't be able to have done what they did. They relied on human error and that seems like a bad excuse to penetrate a system.
>Part of the point is that likely this has zero privacy implications (except potentially disclosing to someone monitoring your traffic that you are using their browser).

It has zero implications if you trust DDG and good privacy is not based on blind trust. Keep in mind that you also need to trust the government under which DDG acts to not require them to disclose this data, trust the government to not put black boxes in the DDG data center, trust DDG's security apparatus against external state actors, trust any rogue DDG employee to not use this data and so on.
So everyone moves to a new platform/vendor... what exactly is significant about this particular bust aside from “we did it” signaling of law enforcement? Things like this happen all the time... Silk Road and many other examples come to mind.

I just hope this doesn’t become yet another incident used as an example to slowly erode the freedom and idea of privacy. The current anti-encryption sentiment and reactionary nature of legislation doesn’t inspire much confidence.

On a side note for anyone wanting a truly secure device, you’d have to source the raw materials, create the hardware, software, distribution and oversee the entire process. The old school Ford assembly line for the brave new world. And this assumes you didn’t leave any security holes in the process. Which humans tend to do.
Yeah, I watch his stuff already. He specifically mentions because GPUs are large hot dies. I'd never use Kryonaut on a GPU (I've had very good luck with MX4 on GPUs Ive had to repaste or replace stock coolers on).

Bare die CPUs (laptops, delidded CPUs, etc) don't seem to be big enough to cause issues. I imagine, if I have to repaste the laptop, if it even lives that long (it is from 2012 as it is), it's going to be another 4 years down the road.

Yeah, I think a lot of the people who don’t think the ad boycott will be impactful are not taking into account how fb is just plain unpleasant to use now.

This boycott is also causing a conversation to occur where people are considering other options that are comparatively just a more pleasant experience.

In family alone, in the last month I’ve had a few different older family members who were looking for alternatives. Two of them (a couple of grandparents) surprisingly, were incredibly interested in setting up a family Discord server, so a couple weeks ago I helped them create one. In just a couple weeks it’s already up to like 25 family members, and it’s wildly active.

We started out with just a couple different channels–a holiday events channel so people can post holiday/birthday type party information and the general–but already some of the younger (like 14-15yo) have their own channels set up for themselves and real world friends. Considering it’s only a couple weeks old and seeing the activity it has is pretty wild to see.

One of the most striking things I’ve noticed is, the conversation is entirely different from something you would see on FB, it feels more natural somehow.

fb has just become an unpleasant experience, and not only because it makes people not like each other and the distrust it seems to cause, but it’s just not at all a pleasant experience when compared to some of the alternatives.
Here Come the 4 Horsemen of the Techopolypse
Brave guy to publish this, hopefully it won't end up similar to the Dreyfus affair — depends on which the media will roll due to it being "pickled cucumber season" (everybody is on vacation, nothing much happening during summer in Estonia). The flaws of the ID-card is a very politically charged topic to discuss in Estonia, having any doubts about the ID-card or e-voting will make you a persona non grata.
No idea what you are talking about, really. matter of fact, all major powers of the time, France and Great Britain, had abolished it at least 50 years prior to the US. Both of these powers were monarchies.

France made slavery in mainland France illegal in 1315, in the colonies they had laws regulating the slave trade, as disgusting as it still is, that made torture and family seperation illegal. This Code Noir resulted in 13.2% of freed slaves in Loissiana compared to 0.8% in Mississipi. No lesser person than Robbespierre abolished slavery in France and its colonies in 1794, until t was shortly reintroduced under Napoleon in the colonies.

The British Empire made the international slave trade illegal in the Empire in 1807, in 1833 slavery was abolished in the Empire as a whole, it was achived mostly in 1838.

Tunesia abolished it in 1846, Romania in 1855.

Some countries were late to abolish it, some went faster. But only the US needed a Civil War to some around. And of the major powers, the US was the only democracy, all others were monarchies at the time slavery was abolished in the main lands.

The line of defense here is really strange, in order the author runs a whole gamut

1. No this code is original, it's not copied

2. Yes it's copied but it's MIT so it's okay

3. No actually they copied me and being MIT means you can't sue me

4. You are a "junior" developer and actually you're jealous of my achievements which is why you made this issue

5. "Loser"

6. Author locks the PR

7. Author renames the PR to hide it

8. Author archives the whole project, but takes some time first to write his rebuttal in the PR where no one can reply

Really bizarre response
This is a good answer, thank you. Fundamentally, it feels wrong that they are storing my medical data without my voluntary consent. Based on your answer, it doesn't seem like the law supports my instinct.
The magnifica line from Delonghi has a great reputation and costs almost half that (250-350 euro). They make good tasting espresso. They are super dependable, I own one and I've worked on 3 different offices that had them, none of them ever had problems despite being used for something they weren't intended for (making several hundreds of cups of coffee a day).
Thinkpads with a dedicated GPU come with a dual heat pipe heatsink, whereas ones without the dedicated GPU don't. So, you can take the heatsink for the former and use it on the latter, given that you make sure to insulate the part of the heatsink that is supposed to cool the GPU (this can easily be done by using a quality electrical tape like super 88 on the bottom side). You can buy the part aftermarket or see if Lenovo is willing to replace yours. The part number for the heatsink I put on my T490 is 01YU186.
If you wanted to get into the criminal drug trade, how would you start? Is there a guide somewhere I can follow?

$13M in cash is an impressive amount. It makes me wonder: There must be all kinds of operations happening around us daily, yet nobody knows about them. And those operations need members. Where do they come from?

The inner workings of this stuff is fascinating. To be honest, I wish it were possible to go observe the system in action as a spectator. I'd love to see how the packaging is done, the supply lines, the transport logistics...

(I balance this with a deep hatred for cartels. If you trace these questions far enough, it seems to often lead to "the cartels are at the center of it all." And they're responsible for unspeakable miseries.)

To be clear, my question is: how is the knowledge necessary for such operations preserved? I'm a programmer. I learned it from the internet. Where do they learn? And these aren't street dealers. It's an organized, carefully designed, well-oiled machine. How does this machine work? How does it survive the loss of so many members?
Not even street smart in this example. You don't have to work in IT security to understand you should not trust a product based on the vendor description. In this case you don't even know who the vendor is ffs. Could actually be the authorities.
