While this is great, my analysis of the problem, as a European, is that you can't remove water from a sinking ship with a teaspoon: the main problem with the US political "spectrum" is that it contains only two colors.

In Norway, we have 9 parties in our parliament. No parties are perceived as the exact opposite of the other. Friends and family often vote for different parties, and loyalty changes over time. And this is how it is across almost the entire continent, with the UK as the major exception (with their voting process favoring a two-party system).

If Americans could somehow get a taste of this freedom of choice, I'm certain many of them would demand the same things at home. I'm amazed that there's often 10s of kinds of peanut butter in an American super market, but only two political parties. Could it be done with tech? I'm not sure, but I would like to see someone give it a go.
During the 80s, I often traded software with Europeans in the C64 and Amiga scenes. I'd send them US software, and they'd send me European software. Most Americans had C64, 1541 drives, 2400 baud modems, etc. The Europeans typically had datasettes and 300-1200 baud modems, because the cost of equipment was higher, phone calls were more expensive, and there was even a modem tax in Germany apparently.

So the protocol we used was that Americans would send them a 2400 baud modem, and make international calls to them, in exchange for hot new European game releases, because the extra speed would reduce the expense.

There's simply no way Europeans were going to buy overpriced, underpowered Apple hardware at that point in time. There was nothing an Apple 2 could do that a C64 couldn't, and a C64 could do substantially more than an Apple 2.

The results of the demoscene, which still exists for C64s, Amigas, Atari STs, and Spectrums, but is almost non-existent for the Apple 2, shows how under capable and uninteresting the platform was.

WYSIWYM is a great idea. I still resent Word 97 (?) for removing the flowed view, leaving only pages. Who needs pages on a computer?

What I found torturous about LyX was trying to configure the underlying LaTeX generator, so that it used the style files I was made to use. If I remember correctly, there was some layer of conversion that I wasted a lot of time on.

Nah, try to lose your paper internal passport. Your life will become very difficult. For any medical service, a paper "SNILS" and a paper "OMS" are required too.
> Also, more importantly, why are encryption and this amnesiac property mutually exclusive? Can't you do both and use the strongest available guarantees that are applicable to a particular set of data?

Sure. The amnesiac property just doesn't add a lot of security on top of full disk encryption. If you have an encrypted USB stick that contains an amnesiac OS and $TOP_SECRET_DOCUMENT, the information that your adversary cares about is the document. If the adversary somehow breaks the encryption, they still get access to the document, regardless of the amnesiac property of the OS.

US Income taxes are low?

take someone who makes a million+ dollars in california. Their marginal rate is 50% (37% federal + 13% CA, and with the note that the SALT limits due to Trump, dont really get them 37% back on the state tax anymore).

compare this to most european countries where your income tax rate at the top is 50% or less.

now, they have other taxes they pay (social and the like) outside of income taxes, but so does the US. FICA and ss fees also "taxes" in a way.

Deresiewicz's story is inconsistent.

First, he writes that early artists (Da Vinci, Bach etc.) basically saw themselves as artisans who worked jobs for their patrons, who essentially sheltered them from the cold realities of the market.

Later, he laments that now artists are crushed by the market and can't have any stability that Bach et. al. enjoyed. He's missing a ton of contemporary working artists, who still have their patrons - visual artists working in game dev, musicians composing music for movies, commercials, video games etc. These people have steady income, just like Bach did. Of course, they're not really working on what they'd like to be working on, but neither really did Da Vinci (he was known to procrastinate a ton when asked to produce another boring portrait of somebody's daugther - a portrait which comically now could fetch tens of millions of dollars).

Among other things the incompetent Commodore management did. Here was a company that did "vertical integration" Apple-style before Apple. They had their own CPU, their own video chips, their own sound chips, custom. They had a platform years ahead of their peers (just compare a 1985 Amiga to a 1985 Mac). But CBM was epically mismanaged, terrible at marketing, but great at paying their CEO big salaries and bonuses.

I was very happy switching to a double edged safety razor, a decade ago.

18 months ago or so I upgraded to good battery powered clippers/trimmers. The trimmers are just the start of the investment. Lube & 5-in-1 cleaner are both consumables that are ongoing but not bad. But wow, the clippers are all fixed size, not adjustable, & buying a set was about as much as the clippers themselves. Very pricey. But wow, my ability to trim & maintain myself has gone way way up. I used to use an Oster and sometimes scissors+comb, and I got by, but this is so much more consistent & even & easy & fun to do.

Overlays (at least in RT-11) are just chunks of code that would load at a specific address in memory. So if your program didn't fit into memory, a good chunk of it could run in an overlay area.

So for example your code could have an always-resident portion say from 0 to 100000 octal (the lowest half of memory) and an overlay area from 100000 to 140000. We had a program that has an input, calculation and runtime phase so it suited the overlay model; programs that needed all their code in memory at the same time by comparison would not be suited to overlays (especially on 8" floppies, where loading an overlay was accompanied by plenty of mechanical noise).
Hi all! Discord Employee here that was involved in the remediation of this exploit! I just wanted to clarify with a timeline, and explanation as to why we had context isolation disabled!

9:21 PM on July 16, 2020 we received a very detailed report from Masato outlining this exploit.

9:34 PM: Ticket acknowledged - and we began a deploy that would disable sketchfab embeds within the app, to remediate this known attack vector.

10:00 PM: Update pushed to stable to disable all existing sketchfab embeds.

Thanks to the detailed report, we were able to go from a report to a fix deployed to stable in ~40 minutes!

Following that, the next day we deployed a better update as we understood more about the issue (which was the sandbox attribute on the iframe.) In addition, we also paid out $5,000 for this bounty, even though the main fault that lead to RCE was due to a bug in Electron (CVE-2020-15174) which allowed for a bypass of our CSP, by allowing the main window to be navigated to a different domain.

----

As for context isolation, a lot of the code that had been written was not compatible with contextIsolation - and required significant work to refactor. For example, due to the way that objects needed to be cloned to pass through the bridge, the internal APIs that existed needed to be entirely reworked, as they were not really compatible with this model. We began this work in April shortly after we worked out all the quirks required to upgrade to Electron 7 which is when contextBridge would be available for us to turn on contextIsolation. It was not as simple as flipping a boolean from false -> true, and required a re-work of our native modules and their internal APIs, and also doing so in a way that would be backwards & forwards compatible with the various app versions that we had shipped in the wild - in addition to dealing with some performance regressions that needed work-arounds in the new context isolated world.

In August, we shipped context isolation to our Stable release channel and gave Masato the green light for disclosure - which leads us to today!
I'm sorry if it sounded like I was trying to put words into your mouth, I was merely trying to account for any possible objection.

Hopefully my point would have worked just as well if phrased: "Even if you think that there is nothing suspicious about all this... (and even if you think that all online advertising is a waste of money...) I think that a claim of the story unravelling requires at least a citation".

My aim was for people on different sides of this issue to have a chance to present their cases, so that we didn't give the impression that this was a settled matter that everyone agreed on.

If you do think there is something suspicious about CA's actions, and/or you think that online advertising can influence the way people vote, then I'm pleased that we agree on some premises at least.
The UK has a two party system in terms of who will form the government, but there's a plurality of smaller parties acting as strong lobby groups - some even getting reasonable levels of parliamentary representation.

Case in point - without the threat of UKIP taking votes from the Conservatives, it is unlikely that the EU referendum would have been held.

> You realize of course, that the Commodore 64/128 were better than the Apple 2 and PET in every conceivable way?

"Of course" is indeed is the right phrase to use here. The Commodore 2 is a computer from several years later, at time when Moore's law was in full swing. Put another way, my laptop or smartphone is better than an Apple 2 and was cheaper to buy... Yes, but so what? I don't see what point you're making (in either this comment or the GP one), except that hardware gets better over time.

Something I learnt in 8th grade - if an object is free falling from sky of mass "m" the force it applies when it hits on the ground is m * g, where g is the gravitation.
I think how gravity works at really short distances like 10^(-50)m is still a mystery as we don't have a consistent quantum theory of gravity that works there.

But as you get close to stuff, say two atoms, the electrostatic and other forces are far greater than the gravitational ones.
Depends on how you define air filter.

I think you have to have one that can capture VCOs, which puts you into expensive, but still considered normal consumer (as opposed to professional/enterprise/commercial/etc), products.

So, I'd suggest offhand to look at IQAir and Austin Air products to see if any of them state they can grab OPFRs. Their bottom level products probably won't.

I would state it even more broadly: Politics is everything concerning how society is organised. Of course, government is a big part of that, but it is not the whole. For example, how mutual trust in society is created or eroded is a political question in my mind.

In the SF Bay Area, we found a company selling natural latex mattresses, no flame retardants added. The showroom was on University Avenue in Palo Alto, so the price was high (at least $3K for a queen). But the factory was in Marin, so they could do custom sizes, and then we asked about replacing all our couch cushions, and we could special order those too. So we replaced all our mattresses and couch and chair cushions with natural latex. For covering and waterproofing, we also bought a natural wool mattress cover.

Sorry, I don’t remember the names of the businesses, but this was 10 years ago when the flame retardants were mandatory for synthetic materials. I don’t even know if they are still in business.

For chairs that had built in padding, we bought 1960s and 70s furniture from thrift stores with the hope this was before flame retardants were in use. We did all this after my partner and our female cat developed Hashimito’s, had years of low energy, and needed daily thyroid medication.

Hey HN, thanks for checking out Portabella.

To keep it short Portabella is different from other project management software in two key ways:

- your core data is end-to-end encrypted [1]

- we don't contain any third party trackers [2]

Portabella came about after working at a privacy focused company for a few years. I realised that there _is_ a market for privacy centered products, they're just hard to find or not usable. We're looking to provide an experience on par with current project management solutions in a privacy preserving way.

The bigger overarching goal of Portabella would be to enable consumers/businesses to demand more of their tools. Recently we've seen privacy preserving tools/apps explode in popularity which we're really happy about, and hope to contribute to this wave of change.

Every time I run across an episode of this podcast I need to weigh in my interest in a great guest versus having to listen to Lex's monotone voice and meaning-of-life type questions. The disparity is amazing - the list of guests is easily the best out of any podcast that has guests that I've ever come across; and the delivery of the host is just about the worst I've come across too. I guess I'll listen to this one.
A Ponzi scheme is where one guy pays his early entrants with later entrants money. A Pyramid scheme is where entrants pay money to earn the right to take money from later entrants which they attract.

For comparison, the highest marginal income tax bracket in Norway is 46.4%, which applies from $100,000 per year.

On top of this is 25% VAT on all purchases, 32% capital gains tax and 0.85% of net worth (with conplex deductions; 75% for primary home and 40% for stocks) each year.

Employer pays 14% of your salary in tax, as well as 22% on all profits before owners pay capital gains on dividends on the remaining.

If I was working on important whistleblower documents, I wouldn't trust a cloud storage service as the sole location for the documents. I would need at least some form of backup. Furthermore, if the point was to hide the existence of encrypted data, you would have to also hide your payments to said cloud service provider. So at this point we would need to:

- Set up (locally encrypted) storage to cloud service provider 1, and a similar backup to cloud service provider 2.

- Learn cryptocurrency washing mechanism to hide continuously ongoing payments to cloud service providers.

Note that both of these would have to remain in your memory, since you wouldn't be able to save anything (like "download_encrypted_data_from_cloud_storage.sh") on the amnesiac OS.

Back when China went into lockdown, they really went into lockdown with a better-safe-than-sorry attitude. Individual villages erected roadblocks, urban areas sealed off housing blocks or in the case of Wuhan the entire city. Those measures reduced the geographic spread of the virus.

Then they drove the virus down locally, using temperature measurements to identify potential infections before more specific tests were available, and then later focusing the entire country's testing capacity on hotspots like Wuhan to identify the last remaining infections.

Then when new outbreaks appeared elsewhere in the country, the response has been for surrounding areas to close their borders and isolate everyone who crossed from the affected region recently. That also applies to international travel, with mandatory centralized quarantine for everyone who enters the country.

Those measures haven't kept China entirely virus-free (the official figures are a bit misleading because they don't count asymptomatic cases) but apparently they still feel safe enough to reopen the economy.

Note that this was the results of local governments not trusting the central government to get the outbreak under control and deciding on their own measures fairly autonomously to keep the virus away. (Including weird scenes like Dali intercepting mask shipments destined for Chongqing or police from Hubei and Jiangxi getting into a brawl over whether to open the border or keep it closed.)

How often (on average?) do you need to seal each TB you have?

For example if it's four months and you can do a terabyte per hour then that's about 3 petabytes and the cost of the sealing servers is a small fraction of the cost of the storage server. Is it much less?

But also the tweet says something about one terabyte per day?
