You have several options, none of them pretty. The first is to load, update and rewrite the backup. Time consuming, error prone and you may fuck up the backup that you need.

The second starts way further back: encrypt sensitive fields at rest, drop the keys when the user requests a deletion.

That way you never even have to touch the backups in order to have the right end result.
There are tools to help with this. Charity Navigator collects data and evaluates charities. Mozilla looks really bad in that only 80% of funds goes toward mission [1].

There are other metrics, but many use these metrics for understanding how funds are used at charities and applying some governance.

I was surprised Mozilla is so low as many charities strive for 90-95% toward mission so their admin costs are low enough to attract institutional donors.

> Compared to Flatpak, Flatpak uses much more disk space.

Flatpak has content-based deduplication via ostree. Snaps are squashfs images. They both have a concepts of shared common parts, runtimes.

They both take about the same space on disk. However ostree has a hardlink farm for it's content store, so if you do not know how it works and how to measure it, you might have an impression that it takes more space. It does not. IN addition, if you have multiple applications, anything they have in common at file-level granularity will get deduplicated.
> I think it's reasonable to question how many ballots being sent to local county offices would cross paths with one of these five regional processing facilities.

It really depends on the details. Are those processing facilities serving urban areas of some swing states? Even if it's just 1% of the ballots, those ballots could be the ones that decide the election.

> Even the Motherboard article acknowledges this;

>> ...some of the DBCSs staying will have about 50 more stackers added to them, meaning the machines can sort mail to a larger number of destinations....

It's not that clear, that same article also says this:

> The postal workers Motherboard spoke to said having machines removed, replaced, or modified is nothing new, but this time it seems to be more widespread, include a larger number of machines at their respective facility, and potentially impacts the facility’s ability to process large numbers of mail, including ballots, in a short time span.

Given other statements made by this administration, people are right to be extremely skeptical of the motivations here. At a minimum the optics of making this change now are extremely bad.

I absolutely agree.

However, I think it's one thing to say "I will donate to Goodwill because I think their mission is important and they have a good reputation", and another to say "and when I donate you must used my money to pay for X and not Y". The former is a statement of values and trust in the organization. The latter is very nearly the opposite!

Also: "1% of people used that thing that we broke" is often a willful misinterpretation of metrics where the actual situation is more like "100% of people used that thing that we broke, 1% of the time."

The real interpretation is going to be somewhere in between, but the people choosing the direction the want the project to go are going to choose the interpretation that supports the decision that has already been made.

edit: The best way to kill a train network is to tear up all of the least utilized track. The vast majority of that track consists of the last few miles of travel, and although only 1% of people use a particular piece, 80% of trips use one of the pieces. If people are going to have to buy a car to get to the heavily utilized backbone, they're going to ask themselves why they're driving to a train rather than just driving to the destination. This leads to a decay of the backbone.
You could put an eInk display behind it, and have sort of a dual mode of interaction. If both can be constructed flexibly/foldable (with or without a hinge) I can see some very interesting designs. The ability of eInk to switch to black, or just display semi-permanent information with amazing readability and low power usage, while still having portions of the screen be high refresh rate and full color would be amazing.
> life in prison

You are right. A court that believes you can be compelled to reveal your password will likely hold you in contempt of court for refusing to do so.

And, yes, life in prison is indeed a possible repercussion of a "contempt" judgement. Just ask H.

Trump's an asshole, and if he pardons Snowden, he'll be less of an asshole than Obama was for NOT pardoning him.

I voted for Obama twice, and the fact that he didn't pardon him told me everything I need to know about him being full of shit and made me regret ever supporting him.

FYI:
I worked at Booz Allen when Snowden went public. I can't talk about any details, but basically I upended my life, left DC, and went pure private sector as a direct result of his revelations. I still don't make what I made then, and I don't care. If not for him, I would have still been working on stuff that was undermining the US constitution. All my coworkers were acting like he was Satan, and how he made Booz Allen look bad, and blah blah blah. My favorite moment was asking my coworker, who was defending the spying, if she would give me her email password. You can guess the response.

Sorry for OT, but there are no PMs on hacker news. I found your comment about CO2 sensors for Raspberry PI from last year [0]. Have you finished this project? If yes, could you share a few details?

For my first Rasberry PI project, I am considering buying Enviro for Raspberry Pi + Air Quality. I would like to add an affordable CO2 sensor that would require minimal config and no soldering. Pimoroni folks told me MH-Z19 would not work because of the number of pins. Would you have any suggestions on what sensor to choose and how to make it work with Enviro / Raspberry PI?

The law doesn't really care about your notion of what can be done effeciently, if it can be done then you should probably do it or risk being found in violation of the law. There is some very specific language to that effect in the GDPR to make sure that it is clear that 'whatever you could reasonably do' needs to be done. You can then go and argue that you felt it wasn't reasonable but I doubt that will fly.

But you're totally right that this is a tricky problem and hard to do properly. On the plus side, field level encryption is something that we've been doing for ages and that already works quite well. If you design carefully you can even get some processing done on those fields though it will take some major breakthroughs in DB engine design before you can have your cake and eat it too, in the sense that you can be both legally compliant and do all the kinds of processing you can do today. I even doubt if that is desirable, lots of those examples of processing should probably not be done in the first place.

Such strong words! In many countries, it is totally normal to stay at home with your parents and attend a college in your hometown, especially if it is a big enough city with many colleges.
I’m sorry but 99% of “the college experience” you get from being with your peers and having experiences with them that are extra curricular, that is to say out of the scope of explicit education. It is available to all non-students as well, but since so many people come of age at university they assume it’s the same thing.

Be wary of intrinsic thinking. Something may not be intrinsic, but still be the expected result.

In principle, wild harvests are not intrinsically harmful to the environment. In practice, all commercial fisheries are to various degrees.

Large scale aquaculture has a ton of issues. Disease, nutrition, pollution. Not intrinsic, but practically.

That said, I do think we can attain a decent quality of aquaculture. The best commercial approach is currently freshwater fish grown in isolation from natural water sources with waste water used for irrigation. Tilapia, basically.

Problem is, people want salmon, cod, tuna, oysters... Salmon is farmed at scale. We know the result. Very high parasite loads. Visibly reduced health of the fish. Nutritional issues.

We could easily farm a different species, that naturally thrives in environments similar to those we can recreate agriculturally... the demand is for salmon.
