Only if that logic is sane, which it isn't.

There is an difference between doing something directly and indirectly. Anything can do anything given enough indirection. There is no plausible way in which your ordinary use of encryption or body armor could directly harm anybody else. There are some immediately obvious ways that your ordinary use of a howitzer could directly harm somebody else.

And the right to defend yourself using indirect offensive measures has no inherent symmetry with the right of government (or lack thereof) to prevent you from defending yourself using direct defensive measures.
There is a couple for go and at least one for rust, although I don't know how well it fares. It shines more with languages which allow first-class runtime reflection and code loading, but you only care if dealing with runtime-configured services. Also WSDL 2.0 supports REST.

I would not say fell out of use, most enterprise-grade apis, old or new, will have one -- think bank/government/big corp. GraphQL is not there yet - as other commenters pointed out the tooling is not good enough outside JS world, security is complicated on the service side, and the protocol is just to young - the official release is two years ago, so it may start appearing just around now.
It's incredible the lengths people will go to to 'hack' the system.

It's almost as if we could be living in near paradise if we switch-a-roo-ed existing people in power for the robin hoods who do this kind of thankless work.

It makes me think of the people who rip movies and post them online, at the risk of getting caught and suffering who knows what sorts of consequences. What motivates this entire underground network of people who do this? I feel like this should be studied or something - it strikes me as a separate set of morals that these people hold that aren't spelled out anywhere (or are they?) and no matter the number of times the powers that be try to squash them, they seem to pop right back up in one form or another.

A leaderless resistance to power hungry assholes or something, so cool :)
I'm not happy with that at all.

If anyone calls me on a regular phone call, I'm always aware of this.. It's that nasty feeling of being spied on that's really the main reason I hate this so much. The government shouldn't have any reason to spy on me but spying on everyone is simply becoming the norm because they can.
Yeah, Resolve is much better at taking advantage of the GPU for sure, not just for rendering but everywhere in the editor as well, making it more fluid to work with.
Up until this very moment, I've followed these sorts of developments and do admire the ingenuity to pull it off. I've also been dismissive of greenfield phone platforms as being 'not ready for daily use' without having actually trying them.

I'm generally more of a computer user than a 'mobile/phone' one, not spending any time scrolling in social media apps. Perhaps I could live with the sub-par experience of an open/free phone. Good phone and plain text messaging features with a great web browser might get most of the way there. I realized that I only needed apps for work (2FA), Slack/PagerDuty and Spotify--and now working from home don't even need Spotify. Carrying a small old iPhone (or iPod Touch) seems acceptable for a few apps Uber/Lyft, etc. I used to carry an iPod Touch along with my phone and using it felt so great--to have the rest of the world in my pocket rather than a tap away.
Good lord. As a Scot, when the UK voted to leave the EU, I lamented the fact that the EU has always seemed more liberal, more sensible on privacy and human rights than the UK's home secretaries invariably are. It felt like the EU helped keep our politicians in check, keep them from doing anything too insane.

If the liberal EU is taking a stance like this, what hope is there?!

Airborne transmission of COVID is sexy, requiring solutions like this, and individual impositions like wearing masks which are easy to police.

But I think the more likely spread of COVID is from mundane surface transmissions. One of the 'mystery' COVID cases in New Zealand was eventually tracked to people touching the same elevator button about an hour apart, for example.

Same here in Europe - everyone is wearing masks, but how many times is the apartment entrance handle touched by people each day?

The QEMU fork that the Android Emulator uses, or at least used.

I had thought Goldfish was no longer used, and something closer to the QEMU repo is used for Android, but I'm not sure about that side of things.
I was under the impression that all the mobile communications standards had provisions for lawful intercept, is it such a leap to think that the baseband processor is compromised aswell? Maybe the EU is just salty that they don't have the same kind of access the NSA has.

This is still wrong. Shareholders are _not_ legally required to "maximise shareholder value".
> is that not an act of theft/violence?

Well, I can see where your conceptual problem lies.

Theft is taking something that isn't yours. Violence is use of force. They are orthogonal concerns.

Whether your theft of something involved an act of violence depends on how you stole it.
Actually, other than being humorous, you just said, do it the way I want you to without any understanding of why a user may not want to do it that way.

Your definition of "relevance" seems to be that which advances the arrival of practical quantum computers. Why can't something be interesting in its own right?
I've only ever test driven a Model S, and seen multiple Youtube videos (usually of owners showing off a new barely contained beta feature), and that explains all the road noise.

I thought it was just my imagination, or the awareness of other noise given the lack of drivetrain noise. My 7 year old Volvo S60 seems quieter than the Tesla at speed, and it's a diesel.

I'll keep daily driving my classic cars. Who needs a music system when you have them :-)
It's worth noting that fish aren't distributed evenly across the ocean. Most aquatic life exists on or near the continental shelves, which typically lie within someones EEZ.
Because, like I said:

>>Well, one of the(but definitely not the main) reasons

I made a list of reasons - like, I'd like a car that uses less fuel. Car that doesn't wake up the neighberhood when I start it. Car that can actually take some shopping from IKEA. These were the main reasons for a swap. But obviously, there is a secondary list to this - car that doesn't have a shit audio system. Car that has comfortable seats.

Somwhere on that list is a car that has android auto support.

All of this has contributed to me swapping. But logically thinking, there was nothing wrong with the car - I could have just paid it off and kept it. It's very specifically not a lease so I don't have to hand the car back after 4 years, keeping it(either by paying it off or refinancing) is actually an option.

I think what I am saying is that the lack of something like android auto(in a scenario where it cannot be easily retroffited) can and does contribute to a decision to change the entire car - it's not just a stupid tech gimmick that no one cares about as some much earlier comments were trying to suggest.

I’ve been all in on Apple for about 15 years, but have been slowly moving away as it gets harder to use their products for development and power usage.

Got a windows laptop recently, and the developer experience is much better than Mac OS which surprised me. Thinking about getting a surface pro to replace my iPad for traveling.

Edit: the only thing that keeps me on the iPhone right now is that their hardware (chips in particular) are so much better.

The Lun was heavily armed, and NATO considered it a super fast patrol boat. The soviets really doubled down on missile boats.

The range of the Lun’s missiles out ranged its radar, which was a problem that missile boats of that era also had. Nato imagined that a forward Lun would act as scout for the rest etc with lots of coordination.

The Lun’s problem was that by the time it entered trials the soviet missile boats were being fitted with a over horizon radar that the Lun couldn’t carry.
That, and the end of the Cold War, of course.

The coordination idea is interesting; the last generation of soviet “carrier killing” anti-ship missiles were designed to do coordinated attacks where one missile would pop up to identify and allocate targets to its cohorts staying down low. If it was intercepted, another of the low missiles would then go high and so on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-700_Granit

Of course for missile coordination to work like that, the launcher has to know there is something to fire at in the first place...
Not sure if you realize this, but your phrasing/tone makes you appear pompous.

Also, just because an iPhone doesn’t give you informational value that isn’t true for others.

> Unrelated: one particularly dark dystopian outcome we've been wargaming is: what if someone (not us!) used decentralised rep to seed a GPT-3 style bot to locate abusive communities, and then automated the process of infiltrating & investigating them... only to then end up ascending the ranks while preserving its cover and accidentally triggered some atrocity. So, um, let's not do that.)

I think you greatly overestimate the abilities of GPT-3. GPT-3's writable memory is short-term only – its long-term memory is read-only – so by the end of a conversation, it has permanently forgotten what the topic was at the beginning. Given its lack of writable long-term memory, it is completely incapable of succeeding at any tasks involving long-term planning, such as the infiltration and investigation of a social group.

Of course, you said "GPT 3 style bot", not GPT-3, but the AI you have in mind has significantly greater capabilities than GPT-3 has, so isn't fairly said to be "GPT 3 style" at all.

Interesting - this only applies if your user account is already running as an administrator, but the risk here is that administrative functions could be run without user interaction or UAC prompts.

I just tested this on my Windows 10 machine (running the latest 20H2 version of Win10), and I could successfully launch diskpart.exe and other executables without any UAC prompt. Although Windows Defender did block me from launching cmd.exe or regedit.exe.

I would agree with the author that this is a risk that should be fixed.
Def fun for personal projects, but when it comes to work, I've been on projects made up of multiple services with the silliest, vaguest names ever; all this did was made it impossible to remember what each service actually did! Such a hassle.
It's a nice, techie-sounding idea, but there isn't enough lithium in the world to make that many batteries. It also has the downside that most people with cars expect to use them daily, and not find they have been depleted while in use as grid storage. There is also the related issue of excessive charge cycle wear on those batteries.

The energy harvested from a wind turbine (or solar panel) is quite small compared to the energy required to make that generator, when compared to the equivalent figures for a fossil fuel plant. I just don't buy the idea that renewables are cheaper sources - just looking at the energy returned on energy invested, power produced will be more expensive. That's ok, because us humans should learn how to use drastically less energy in our daily lives, but it doesn't help to pretend that it will make energy cheaper.
Have you considered that even though you don't need it now, you could at any time in the future have some kind of disagreement with Apple about what kind of apps should be allowed on iOS (consider the Fortnite issue for example) and by that point, vendor lock-in would make it impractical to change platforms?

Guys, I worked it out. It's the Heisenberg uncertainty principle/Fourier conjugate.

Let's say you send a yo now, and then you're going to send another one in 5 minutes. Then you decide to send a third in between. How much information does it contain? Less than a full timestamp's worth, because the timing is constrained.

Once you are sending yo's at the maximum line rate (certainly at least every nanosecond, it's such a critical piece of infrastructure), sending or not sending an individual yo is down to one bit of information. The time component is basically completely gone.

In other words, you cannot know the precise position of a yo at the same time as knowing the precise momentum.
The question with that system is: where is the replacement air coming from? To be effective for disease particle controls, it needs to come from outside, otherwise you'd just be sucking dirty air from the rest of the building into the classroom - or even worse: backdrafting CO2 and CO from any combustion appliances within the building envelope.

You can achieve a clean air supply by opening another window in the classroom, but then you also let hot or cold air into the classroom (depending on the season), making the heating/cooling systems work even harder.

The answer to this is to run the exhaust/intake air channels through a heat recovery ventilator (HRV), which transfers energy from the hotter to colder airstream, while also introducing fresh air back to the space.

The case against encryption: it is the wrong solution to society’s problems.
I have given this stuff a lot of thought. I have spent $1M and years to build a company that builds decentralized social networks (https://qbix.com/platform) and now a company that uses crypto to secure payments and elections (https://community.intercoin.org)

So I have spent a long time thinking about, and spoken to a lot of serious people about, encryption, byzantine security and human rights (including Noam Chomsky, Tim Berners-Lee, Leslie Lamport, the MaidSAFE people and others).

I have come to a seemingly contrarian type conclusion that perhaps flies in the face of what HN typically says, but I hope that, instead of knee-jerk downvoting it, you think about it and let’s have a discussion based on substance.

There is a difference between using crypto primitives for signatures and zk proofs to secure everyone’s TRUST in a resilient, decentralized system, and using encryption to hide content from others.

To be honest ... I no longer think that end-to-end encryption is the right solution to human rights problems. If citizens are reduced to sneaking around and denying their activities to survive, their governmental system is way past due for fixing. This is like the “good slave owners” delaying the abolition of slavery. You’re solving the wrong problem.
I believe that crypto is needed to secure decentralized byzantine fault tolerant systems like Ethereum etc. to be TRUSTED, not to hide information. Signatures, not encryption, if you will. If anything, it is the government who doesn’t want encryption to be broken (eg of copyrighted DVD content etc.) and there is an inherent contradiction since anyone who consumes unencrypted content can reshare it.
What we really need is to decentralize the personal data in many places, and use zero-knowledge proofs for attestation, but that is different than encrypting and hiding information.

Should we make bulk collection of data infeasible in huge amounts? Sure. But let’s see if there are any uses of encryption — as opposed to signing and securing data - that are truly indispensable to society and are the right and best solution to solve the problem.

Within organizations, auditing and accountability are very much desired. Banning users and so on. Even though I am a libertarian, there is no simple solution to “just always have a flat system” - hierarchies always form due to efficiencies of scale (eg to gang up on people and defend against that, etc.)

What we should instead focus on, imho, is programming incentives from the beginning to promote checks and balances among the most powerful entities in the system. Look at the US Constitution and how the system has endured. Look at Bitcoin miners, Ethereum miners and so on. That is what we need - to have benign rules for everyone and make sure it’s super hard to maintain a collusion for long to overturn these rules.

Otherwise you can geek out on encryption all you want while the AI-enhanced government will track all of your physical movements and speech with cameras, gait recognition, speech recognition on vibrating potato chip bags through windows, will figure out what you’re all planning through network analysis and precrime, and nail you with parallel construction and social credit score penalties, and if anyone tries to help you they’ll get nailed too. Think it’s far fetched? China and Palantir are already doing it. Social credit systems are actually more benign, jailing and physical coersion and brainwashing are worse. Encryption won’t save the Uyghurs from re-education camps, nor profiling of Black youth in USA, nor will it help foil the next terrorist attack or mass shooting, so it doesn’t help either side of the equation that exacerbates the other in endless escalation and reprisals. And if you really don’t want those things to happen, you need to focus on architecting the governmen’t technology to be more benign in its rules, rather than facilitating sneaking around and delaying the need for the real solutions!!

How practical is any declaration of law?

Wouldn't it be feasible to say, have a video streaming site hide messages it its streams and also in its control data? More sophisticated methods are of course possible. Basically "outlawing encryption means only outlaws have encryption."

The only use from any such laws is surveillance of the public at large.
It's also big in the Netherlands.. In the 90s they had the biggest number of phone taps in the world, and this is not per capita, but the absolute number! With a population a mere fraction of the US's.

However the Netherlands is a fairly honest country when it comes to statistics, so I wouldn't be surprised that the US still came out on top, but they just didn't report most of their taps for 'national security' reasons.

But something has really changed in the past 20-30 years. Before this there was no way to literally monitor everyone. It was too labour/storage intensive. You really had to be a 'person of interest' for some kind of (usually legitimate) reason.

Whereas now in this digital age (and with everyone carrying a portable listening device in their pocket) this is totally feasible and thanks to Snowden we know it's actually being done too.

The point of the AGPL is to require sharing of modifications to the software when that software is used in a service. If you're using an unmodified binary, then you haven't made any changes to the software. You won't be obligated to share changes if the changes don't exist, so you could use the unmodified binary internally or externally.

The AGPLv3 has a lot to say about patents, which is enough to scare off many companies from software that uses the AGPLv3, but I believe it won't be triggered if you never make any changes in the first place (and are therefore presumably not a 'contributor').
