I looked into this a bit a year or two ago, and wasn't happy with the alternatives. The main issue for me is that I never delete anything, and so I have nearly 500GB of email, dating back over 20 years (sadly I've lost earlier email due to the cost of even local storage back in those days). I don't want to deal with the data in any way, sorting through it, splitting it up, etc. I just want to dump it all into an email account and have it forever. Many of the alternatives that offer good privacy top out at 20GB or so for their most expensive plan (or less).

Tutanota was the one service I found that let you add (IIRC) arbitrary amounts of storage to your plan, but I found their web interface to be kinda clunky, and let the account expire. I keep wanting to look into this again, but never get around to it.
Such iconoclasm is certainly not unique to Islam. Many older Christian churches in the UK saw their crucifixes, statues and stained-glass windows defaced by Puritans, out of belief that Catholic symbolism was idol worship rather than any superstition about the crucifixes having any actual power

If congress invests in open source, it subsidizes all software development for the world.

If congress invests in software from companies (like MS or Amazon), it subsidizes software development for these U.S. companies to compete on the global stage.

I can see the first case being in the best interest of humanity, and the second case being in the best interest of the U.S.

What would you do?
There are some clear indicators that you can use :

- number of warheads active
- number of anti-ballistic measures in play
- active conflicts involving nuclear armed powers
- active conflicts between nuclear armed powers
- new nuclear technologies (ie. Bayesian fuses, hyper-sonic maneuverability, suppressed trajectories)
- new nuclear powers/capabilities (ie. NK gets H-bomb, NK and India deploy boomers)
- change in treaties (withdrawals)
- threats made by national leaders

I don't know what you mean by "definition of safety" - while there are thousands of nuclear weapons in play no one is actually safe, ever.
Correction: You _have_ to specialize in the fields that you are good at; not what you want to be good at because you can't compete in the other fields.

A couple of million years without advancing is hyperbole to the extreme; specialization which you are touting has only existed for 100-150 years or so (see Foucault, Frankfurt school etc...).
There is no contradiction except in the black and white strawman that you’re projecting. As all debates around civil rights, there is a reasonable middle ground that maximizes everyone’s freedom while minimizing the amount of restriction.

In “my world” where free speech is protected as a civil right, you would be allowed to fire an employee who is using his position to evangelize instead of doing his job. In my world the employee is simply protected from being fired for having a dissenting view when sharing their view in a forum where that would be otherwise appropriate. Or people cannot be censored on social networks for sharing inconvenient truths to any political side.

We already have laws that restrict discrimination in the workplace, setting it up so that protecting free speech in the work place necessarily contradicts that is either intentionally dishonest or an unintentional demonstration of lack of imagination.

The reality is that it’s possible and moral to legislate the protection of free speech civil rights without harmfully violating the employers’ rights. You just don’t believe in free speech civil rights.
Indeed if you are willing to have all your emails downloaded to local disk, but that's really inconvenient if you want to live with disposable hardware and cloud-based storage.
Before laying down judgement on Google, this is standard procedure for any kind of legal matter / fraud.

I work at a bank and it's absolutely critical that we do not let anyone know of our reasons for banning/suspending accounts while there's fraud investigations on the account.

Investigations take a long time since we need to determine if the fraud/criminal actions were 100% done by the user of the account, or if the account was compromised and was used as a proxy. 90% of the times we find it's a third party takeover and the user is cleared. There's a good chance his husband's account was taken over and someone was using his Drive to host pirated movies.

Think about the other side when thinking about a situation like this. I'm sure Google is taking this very seriously.
It's a shame that there don't seem to be any primary sources from Christians of that time explaining that practice. I would imagine that the Desert Fathers would have mentioned it at some point (if it happened in their time), but perhaps they weren't aware.

Since this practice doesn't seem to be a part of Christianity elsewhere, it seems like it could something unique to a coptic interpretation of scripture. I'm not qualified to interpret this - but it does appear that a coptic translation of leviticus 21:18 uses a word which is translated to "cut off nose" ( https://coptic-dictionary.org/entry.cgi?tla=C5694 ) in for a word that is usually interpreted as "flat nose" or "deformed nose" elsewhere.

Whether there's some other connection between that word and idol worship, who knows.
100% agree. You can also use chacha or aes the same way. I like it. I wonder however if some streams may not be too extreme with those.

The article mentions the pollution there is in part for the construction of "Green" tech, like wind turbines and batteries for solar panels.

Are there serious research about how much this "green" tech is actually greener or not?

And what are the actually greenest energy we can have right now?
Yes, I do.

Google One is $20/year for the base 100GB plan. I pay primarily so that there's a direct line to support in case something happens.

Otherwise I recommend using your own cloud storage buckets and/or a local NAS to store your data. It's easy enough to backup and sync across all of them now with various tools and services.
I've been a proponent of something here for awhile. For context, currently, gov requires something like 1% of budget to go to 'small' business (where small is < 500 employees!). Doing 1% to OSS would be huge, and get around the problem of NSF/NIH/etc. having to fund novel research but largely failing at common data infra.

The main sticking point I struggled with here is around beltway contractors. They already largely prevent good software from making it into gov. Today, they prefer to write their own crap or live on OSS without really giving back. Most proposals I thought about here would result in beltway bandits getting the OSS contracts without doing real passthrough to the actual devs. They're the ones with the contract relationships and can tell funders their OSS value-add layer is the part needing funding to make it gov-ready. Most folks in this community are nice as individuals, but due to the lengthy & uphill nature of pushing a contract through, they've locked down the system, and it'd take a tight policy & strong org to work around them. I'm not a fan of Linux Foundation, Apache, etc. as financial stewards either, so it's tough.

The number of images depends on several factors like the total number of objects, the variation of images, visually difference between objects, etc.

We have developed some proprietary technology to reduce the amount of images needed. In general each object should have 10-100 images to avoid overfit.
The report I am referring to is this "cookie sweep" performed by the Irish DPA. It is especially significant because the Irish DPA is the one with jurisdiction over many US tech companies, who incorporate their EU operations in Ireland for tax reasons [PDF]: https://www.dataprotection.ie/sites/default/files/uploads/20...

There is not enough information in (that page of) Crisp's documentation to tell for sure whether they're compliant. The key question is: are cookies written when the JS loads, or only when the user initiates a chat session? They seem to be appealing to the "strictly necessary" exemption, but that only applies when the user actually tries to chat. Cookies set before a user tries to chat are not strictly necessary.

In general, if you read or write data from a user's device (including cookies, but also things like User Agent from HTTP headers), you need consent unless it's strictly necessary for providing the service that the user requested. "Strictly necessary" and "service" should both be interpreted narrowly. That guidance only applies to reading/writing user device data, because it's governed by PECR rather than GDPR directly. GDPR allows a lot more leeway for collecting data for narrowly-defined-but-not-strictly-necessary reasons (like analytics).

The UK regulator, ICO, actually has some pretty thorough write-ups about cookies and consent and things of that nature. The UK is no longer part of the EU and its laws will diverge, but for the moment PECR and GDPR are both UK domestic legislation and will generally mirror EU law (except for international transfers).

What about systems with verifiable content? I.e. when a user leaves a review, that user can only append new versions, and the whole edit chain is verifiable - i.e. you can prove that no outside intervention (by a service host) was made. Are there such systems?
We need to stop having these discussions here. HN users are broadly unequipped to deal with the subject of the "blackness" of Ancient Egyptians. Immediately citing limited genetic studies (as conveyed by a popular newspaper) rather than attempting to understand and sustain reasoned discourse on the sociopolitical dynamics of race is a dead giveaway.

Suffice it to say, the genetic evidence shows that Egyptians (and their southern neighbors) are an indigenous African population, with the current residents of the region generally descendents of the people who were there 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 thousand years ago. The question of their blackness is a political one - as blackness itself is a social construct of the modern age, predicated on appearance and political necessity rather than strict ancestry, and generally inapplicable to ancient populations. In this case, the continuous and vehement insistence that Egyptians were not "black", over a century and a half of Western scholarship and backed by varying rationales as the years proceeded, is useful as a study in the politics of race and perceived technical and societal capability.

No one gets so up in arms about whether or not the Ancient Greeks were "white" (Super-Alpine white).

> Are void functions not considered functions in functional programming?

There's usually a "Void" type that's inhabited by a single value to handle that case. In a void function, all inputs are mapped to that value.
If Openland is VC-funded, my first question is what is to stop Openland from eventually introducing ads, invasive practices regarding user data, etc, in order to maximize it's investor's return?

In other words, why should we believe Openland is simply not the next Facebook, etc?

That said I think the product looks cool and the ideal - as it is expressed - is admirable.

But on a real-deal level unless you are a B-corp, nonprofit, or your financial incentives are aligned with what's best for the user (the way that Apple has a financial incentive to ensure user privacy, for example), inspiring words are merely ... words.
> We figured that it wasn’t improving so much the loading time in our case. Saving around 10KB.

Would you be able to offer the feature I mentioned? Load only enough CSS + JS to show the chat widget circle then load the rest after the user clicks? It would need less than 10KB of code total before compression, and then optimising the size of the full widget wouldn't be as critical.

I know you can trigger the Crisp chat pop-up programmatically so I guess it's something a user could implement but it would be a feature I would really appreciate since I'm always optimising the page speed of websites I help with.

To be perfectly honest, I am now more concerned about disclosing the identities of users, who wrote the reviews to the affected companies. I wrote my share of reviews of previous employers. I did try to stay sufficiently vague and still informative, but they do have my actual email allowing for easy identification.

What have I learned?
This is just my personal interpretation, but the way I approach is I create a trustworthiness score for the set of reviews. For example, too many 5 stars without comments and without low stars might earn a low trustworthiness score because the distribution looks unnatural compared to the distribution in similar competitors. Or a set of 6 reviews, no matter their distribution will also receive a low trustworthiness score simply because there's not much to go on. Reviews of a restaurant complaining about a particularly egregious experience earn a low trustworthiness score since it looks like an outlier and there's emotions running wild. Review sets with a decent number of 3 star reviews containing several well-articulated paragraphs tend to earn a high trustworthiness score. Etc.

So, rather than the score being a dimensionless good-or-bad scale, it's a meta analysis of the reviews, judged on multiple dimensions. This means that some companies/restaurants/products simply don't provide enough information for me to form a conclusion despite having a number of reviews that lean towards either "good" or "bad". And that's ok, because the very fact that I've considered so many different dimensions also tells me that there isn't necessarily a single absolute best option.

This, in my mind, seems like a more accurate depiction of reality than blindly ranking by number of 5 star reviews.
I don't think the internet was ever going to become regulated. What did occur post-2007 was that what made the internet work as a disparate ecosystem of loosely connected destinations (news groups, message boards, blogs, misc websites) that all played their own very important role, controlled and owned by their own communities became one platform under Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc... and was controlled and owned by people who had no identity-based connection to the people using those platforms.

This is largely based on my own observations and could be wrong, but it's my theory. Tech companies robbed an internet culture they didn't even realize or appreciate existed, and then shoved a bunch of people who had never used the internet before on it and convinced them that Facebook was the internet. Or rather, that the standards, norms, and culture on Facebook was somehow reflective of everything outside of Facebook. Just replace Facebook with the growing list of companies who engage in "platforms" in varying degrees.

tldr: this obsession with centralization made no sense to the way we do things as a human species, any of our values, any of our culture, and we let it happen anyway. The chickens have come home to roost.
In the 90s I used an Epson MX-80 dot matrix printer. I think it was created in the early 80s. The thing used paper with holes on the perforated sides, so the sides could be easily removed but also moving the paper along is much easier like this. Actually it worked quite reliably as far as I can remember and some people actually appreciated the unique style of the printings in letters. Eventually I got a more modern printer though but not because it broke. It did support printing of arbitrary files but also supported printing console characters. Therefore it basically needed no drivers for default monospace font printing.

At least for the fun factor it might make sense to start with dot matrix printing. (I think it's still far superior to thermo printers ;-))

Really no comparison to modern printers in terms of reliability. I bought my last printer with 5 years guaranty upgrade. I'd ditch the printer completely if it wasn't still required for some official paperwork :/

It's a problem that, alas, must be tackled somewhat uniquely on every platform, where-as previously users were free to manage their own Certificate Authorities as they wished. Now users are safe & secure from themselves. :/ Admittedly there were a lot of problems with poorly managed CA stores, users being abused, but cert-pinning feels like such a drastic overreach in preventing any form of user control.

Techniques like this "rebuild your apk" are interesting & good to have, but every OS needs it's own bag of tricks. It's probably not a total show-stopper, but news like today's that Windows 10 will only install signed driver software (an admittedly niche-ish case), the closed Apple store,... there's a lot of places side-loading is not an option. Do those apps get a pass, get to be complete black-box software that we the users have zero ability to look at or understand?
