pg_basebackup defaults to streaming WAL from whatever server it is taking a copy from, as backups are otherwise inconsistent. There's no need for the source database to be paused while doing it, and even if your backup takes several hours to complete, once it finishes the target will have all the writes that occurred while the backup was being taken.

Thought you might find this useful, as no one should be considering a Postgres backup as a downtime requiring process!

That’s a great point, thankfully Europe is more humane than China in dealing with riots.

The concern for how Corona is handled in Europe, is that the temporary measures for dealing with Corona become permanent.

In Denmark these temporary measures are supposed to expire in March 2021, but it’s anyone’s guess if that arrangement is honored by the government.

The EU Parliament, which votes on proposals but does not write them, defended the right of encryption prior to the most recent election, and it was news that it hoped to enshrine end-to-end encryption as a Fundamental Right of the European Union.

e.g. https://www.cnet.com/news/encryption-and-fighting-terror-hav...

This might change, but there is hope that they will continue with this position.

Since you're likely to have multiple MEP representatives from different parliamentary groups (and different national parties), it's worth getting in touch with each of your representatives by party to make your point clear. Some groups and parties will be more sympathetic than others but all will benefit from hearing this - and phone is more compelling than e-mail.

(I'm still trying to find a previous similar vote that might be enlightening on what you can expect.)
White-label BAFs?
Even though Spotify "lets people drink," it still suffers from many of the same problems that piracy solves. For example, music publishers can arbitrarily decide they don't want you to be able to listen to their music any more, and even if you had "liked" the song to add it to your library, it will show up as greyed out and you can't listen to it.

Here's a song I added to my library a few years ago that I can no longer listen to. It's too bad I didn't buy this song instead of rent it. I could still listen to it if I had... https://open.spotify.com/track/5gk4KOkSqWOCUjnxzILSTG?si=Orl...
You could also set a fish quota, and let people buy and sell their quota. Then the market sets the price, the government just has to decide how much fish is sustainable to take each year. Ontario has a similar system for emissions.

Of course with fishing it all falls apart if there are multiple countries fishing in the same area without having a unified system.
This just doesn't ring true to me. It sounds like you're projecting your own motivation on to others.

> Employment at a FAANG company.

I want to get paid more, and work on hard/interesting problems.

> Name on a research paper

I want credit for my work of course (why would you go out of your way to not have your name on a paper you contributed to), but impressing others is not the reason I would be in research (again - solving interesting/hard problems and hopefully making the world a little bit better would probably be the motivation if that was my career)

> False degree

I wouldn't want this.

> Membership at an exclusive club

Presumably this exclusive club does something together that I'm interested in, or at least has members that I want to talk to about something I'm interested in. (Or maybe we just go out to eat socially, that sounds fun).

Of course signalling status is useful as a means to an end. (E.g. I would want to appear as a competent/successful developer while applying for said FAANG job, or as a wealthy person while applying for a business loan). But I gain little joy from status in and of itself.

I agree that GraphQL is not the only way to solve them, but it does provide consistent approach to address most of those. At a startup, it's very, very beneficial to be able to point to externally maintained documentation and best practices. It's one less thing to do internally and can help to onboarding new employees more quickly.

I'd rather take on technical debt related to our product features than to load us up on fundamental networking and caching issues.
Well, the ECHR is (for all EU members), and has a similar clause:

> Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.

unfortunately it also has exemptions for anything a government could reasonably use as justification to restrict this right:

> There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
It is for your own good.
Haha, you can't just buy a macos license. You also are not allowed to use it on non-apple hardware iirc.
Really, what country would that be? I call BS. And when ever I read "military grade encryption" I'm thinking buzzwords. Don't make yourself sound more important than you actually are.
Then don’t buy their products?

The issue is whether the App Store restrictions are arbitrary and constantly shifting, and that has been consistent basically since Apple started allowing third party software on iOS.
> Don't assume that "we" are happy about that. You might be; others are not.

I don't want to suggest everyone is happy with the status quo, but it's at least not one of the top items on everyone's agenda for change.

> Unbreakable encryption should be available to everyone, and straightforward for everyone to use, and used by default rather than only for "sensitive" information. Unbreakable encryption should be so widely used that the thought never even occurs to anyone to associate it with wrongdoing. Communication using unbreakable encryption should simply be "communication".

I agree with you - but I also doubt it will happen. Not because of some government conspiracy but because I don't for a second believe that people would choose "government can't tap a criminal's phone call or text messages even with a court order" as an acceptable drawback for the benefit "my own conversations are always secure". I really don't. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though. So I simply don't think there is any democratic pressure for it.
This system resigns app with your developer signature, and to work around the expiration leaves a server running on your computer that periodically resigns apps and updates them over the air on your iPhone.

I think this is simple yet genius. I wonder if it works on AppleTV as well?
I’d argue that choosing the time to send a “yo” constitutes log2(N) bits, where N is the number of times the yo could have been sent (It’s not quite an integer but you might say resolution faster than a minute is irrelevant and call N the number of minutes). Not much, but still more than one.

"Don't make an app that allows users to run unapproved software. I think that's a pretty clear rule."

This is a non sequitur.

"Don't do things that are not 'approved' even though 'approvals' are to a great extent, arbitrary"

Apple shifts their interpretation of rules all the time, more problematically, they literally change the rules themselves, and can do so at any time.

They will continue to push and try to eat into other business models to the extent they have the power to do so.

If Apple could interpret or change their rules so as to take a 30% cut of Uber's business - they would. They only reason they don't, is because they don't have enough power to do so. Yet.

This 'just follow the law' rhetoric reminds me of some other kind of populism ...
Thank you Matthew!
The replacement scp was described as not even being an official project of OpenSSH, so it's not being officially replaced.

Is that not correct?

And you don't deprecate a 25-year old utility with just a replacement "idea".
It’s checked in debug modes (overflow is a runtime error). You can explicitly use the overflow operator (+%) if you know that’s the behavior you want.

Search for 365nm UV flashlight. I got the Alonefire one, which claims to be 10W but is really 3W. That's fine for what I need and it was cheap so I went with it.
prohibiting encryption practically means prohibiting speech whenever government can't understand it or even just when government can suspect that there is another interpretation possible (would be one more reason for the straight very simple language in 1984). That naturally leads to government having right to demand a detailed explanation to any speech and actions to the full understanding/satisfaction by the government. I mean that belly dance moves may be an encrypted sequence carrying an secret message. Now, try to prove (to the full satisfaction of that polite government bureaucrat) that is isn't.

Conspiracy theory - wise : how about an idea that the authorities let the terrorist act to happen (as they had been warned in advance about the guy) in order to have pretext to make further push for tightening of the screws ( Belarus has just again shown the power of social media communication channels and that couldn't have been missed by the powers-to-be). I mean it is kind of curious how immediately after the terrorist act where AK-47 was used there is an attack on encryption instead of say on AK-47 sales.
There's slightly different looking operators if you want explicit overflow behaviour, where it's not UB.
I agree with classics2. Also, I'd suggest adding samples of everything for which Forward offers a service-- when I click 'whitepaper' for example, I'd like to see info about past examples of whitepapers or demos of whitepaper.

They didn't make claims about themselves only - they claimed that everyone is motivated by this ("we"). Or at least that was my interpretation of the comment.
I think trying to analyse status purely in 'practical terms' is somewhat to miss the core driver of it. As a species, we tend to 'status-seeking' behaviours I think because we've evolved as primates who lived in medium-sized social groups where your position in the social hierarchy mattered a lot -- and judgement of others is exactly what defines your position. So part of your brain has evolved to make social comparisons, to obsess about what other people think of you, and to try to improve and act out your position in a hierarchy, even if objectively that behaviour in the modern world is not logically defensible or something that will make you happier.
Its an incredible statistic that fish is consumed more than cows, pigs, or beef. I don’t think I’ve been anywhere this is close to true. Where I am I think farmed salmon is at least 5x the price of chicken. Some countries must be hugely affecting the statistics. I wonder if there are poorer countries where people rarely eat meat but fish for subsistence?
I understand you have a vaguely positive feeling toward the current signifiers of technical progress. But I have no idea why you think that weighs much compared with voter confidence in the democratic process that undergirds our society.

This reminds me of feature I liked about Google's Duo app (like Facetime): send a heart.

It's pretty clear what the heart means in the context of a video call app: "I am currently thinking about you and wouldn't mind a video call, if you want to." It solves the problem of instant-anxiety of getting an impromptu video call when you weren't expecting one.

Unfortunately now you can send one of 10 different emoji instead of just the heart, complicating the feature unnecessarily by adding more bits.
I got the chance to see him in action from being on the show, and he was probably the most impressive "people person" I've ever met. Just perfectly at ease telling stories and interacting with strangers, and he sets everybody else at ease also. I don't know how a person ends up like that, whether its a matter of innate talent, training, or a mix of the two, but I've never seen anything like it.
?

the big nation might not care if Chinese vessels are in the waters of your small nation.
You might want to provide more intricate detail about what you mean.
But its absolutely not true that this is enforced consistently. My iPhone currently contains three full programming language interpreters from the App Store---one for JavaScript, one for Python, and one for Clojurescript. I know one of those can make arbitrary network requests because I've done it, and I think the other two can as well.

So how is that different from iSH? Apple has approved a bunch of apps that can go get third party code and run it.

When placing cookies, the bar to essential is actually really high.

It has to be essential and unavoidable for the delivery of the bytes to the browser, or it has to be essential for the requested functionality.

The UK ICO has some pretty good guidance. I'd not be confident at all arguing that recaptcha is at all essential under PECR, even though it may be a legitimate interest under GDPR. Important to note that PECR/ePrivacy directive actual goes further than GDPR when it comes to the cookie rule, and you can't use legitimate interest as a basis here!

You're arguing past each other. The amount of information transmitted is 1 bit. Someone receiving a PCAP with the data would not get more than 1 bit of information.

However, you're also right that the people sending and receiving the bit can derive more information from it.

"Maybe it's because the very rules you say developers hate are the ones users find appealing."

This is fairly easily disprovable by the mere existence of Android - which has a healthy app market place, tons of great apps and is for all intents and purposes, just as secure.

Google Play does a fine job of promoting good apps, keeping bad ones out, and I can still go 'off network' and download my IT app or whatever that doesn't conform to Google Play rules.

There are no material negative side effects.

If Apple adjusted their policy to match that of Google, users would have more choice, and be better off.
I wanted to spin up a hardening service back in the mid-90s, based around what we knew of Tempest. I even named it Echelon Consulting (as in "upper echelon," but with a nod to ECHELON). My spouse wouldn't let me, they felt it'd be too risky to get involved with that environment, and we were just starting our family.

But... yeah. You could tune into VGA monitors up to a mile a way using consumer hardware, and reception is perfectly legal (lots of case history to back this up)!

I figured my pitch would be to walk in with a briefcase setup, flip a switch, and show them what the receptionist was working on. Then ask if they were worried if competitors could know what they were working on (not a threat, just bringing awareness), or would they be were interested in some expensive cables/hardware.

Now that the kids are grown up and divorce pending, I've debated getting back into the netsec field. Lots of fascinating angles to be had in unexpected hardware boundaries... and my background in data science/machine learning/DSPs could prove fruitful in signals reconstruction...
Matrix is awesome. Also, doesn’t the French government use Matrix? Are they trying to outlaw their own policies?
3D printing is one of the more useful ways to securely backup up encryption key’s. Just ensure the only place they exist is inside an object and not only are they durable, but tamper resistant as someone can’t just photocopy the key.

I have a lot of exposure to both countries systems, including close people with chronic and terminal illnesses, major and minor surgeries, etc. And yes there’s a reason that it’s not rare for wealthy Canadians come to the US for medical treatment.

Regardless, I’m answering the question that was asked. You didn’t ask which health care system is better, you asked what people don’t like about Bernie’s policies. I’m attempting to offer some clarity into why people hold those positions. And do keep in mind that even if governments in other countries manage to run a decent health care system, that does very little to boost the confidence of opponents that the US government will be equally as functional in their implementation, or how long it will take them to sort it out. They have provided too many examples of poorly run institutions for some people to just disregard.

But your question wasn’t only about health care. When I say impossible price tag, I mean everything:

One of many angles is "perhaps you trust your government (or perhaps not), but do you trust every government with a backdoor? Do you trust everyone who has gotten hold of it? Do you trust that it can't be broken or stolen or abused?"

We need to very clearly and universally make the message clear: there's unbreakable encryption, and there's broken encryption, nothing in between. Anything that purports to be in between is either broken or soon will be.

Yet another example of apple's ongoing control freakery. I wonder how many incidents will be required before those who rush to defend them every time get it?

Apple tolerate app store developers as a necessary evil. If they could develop all of their own apps they would.

As with suppliers, as with stores, as with everything they would gladly prefer to do it all themselves and give zero access or share the slightest collaboration with anybody.

They are utterly ruthless in this regard and will continue to be for as long as they exist. This includes doing bad and nasty things as well as those the apologists can more readily rationalise.

I am a little surprised anybody takes risks in this arena. Of course for $$$ apps that trivially fulfil apple's arbitrary rules (for now) the potential payout justifies it but for free/open source apps why risk the pain?

For a company that happily generates colossal margins by using the effectively slave labour of a totalitarian state which puts people in concentration camps and disappears political opponents them being unethical/inconsistent in the app store seems very unsurprising. Even in western countries they happily bankrupt suppliers after poaching all their staff. Yet there appears to be shock when they do things considerably less evil... Strange to me.
