One of the talks at FOSDEM 2020 covered "GNUnet basics, the GNU Name System and other applications" [0]:

> GNUnet: A network protocol stack for building secure, distributed, and privacy-preserving applications

> In this talk we will give a brief introduction into the GNUnet peer-to-peer framework, its architecture and existing applications. This includes details on the p2p overlay, double-ratchet messaging channels (CADET) the GNU Name System (GNS) and a selection of other applications and features. We present the current status of the project, the roadmap as well as ways to participate and use GNUnet.

The link doesn't open for me. It simply says "access denied" and that it's powered by cloudflare. None of my two VPN servers help overcome this. God I hate cloudflare.
> This is argument is based off of your misunderstanding of economics

Your superior "understanding" of economics is at odds with academic consensus and with reality.

> Consumers need capital to drive demand

Replacing five McDonalds cashiers with two cashiers, an app, and a touchscreen ordering kiosk doesn't "drive demand".

So don't use a 3PID to add someone, use their MXID. It's a unique, global identifier and is similar enough to an email address.

There's also a Matrix URI specification in the works (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2312). Once that lands, we should start seeing support for Matrix URIs in applications. This will allow applications to also start recognising MXIDs and converting them into working links, which will in turn help with people's recognition of the MXID.
If aviation accident stories interest you and you like podcasts, https://www.planecrashpod.com/ is well worth listening to. I've been a patron for some time. They cover stories pretty in-depth and sometimes have a pilot or other crew member on to talk about what happened.

Tempting but, since the last update, Ubuntu's disk indicator flashes every second, reminding me of the doomsday countdown in "Independence Day" and of HAL reading lips in "2001".

How much is it when you need to use mobile internet (email, messages, whatever) while roaming at 1+$/MB? I currently need to use roaming for work purposes at 200€/GB - luckily no android, so should be affodable.

While I'm not saying the prices are appropriate, they are there and you can chat, email etc at an affordable price.
There are a lot of used notebooks on the market. They are as good as new except display. Just add RAM and SSD, that would be impossible.

Soldered RAM should be at least twice big to stay relevant in five years. I am in search of a new notebook and some premium Dell models have 16GB top. How long people are going to keep them?
I’m working on the same thing and the phone at the moment. I doubt I’ll be able to go cold turkey so I’m blowing one app away every two weeks until I don’t need it any more. It’s not as hard as it felt like it was going to be.

It must be your IDE then... Have you tried VS Code?

Joking aside, I agree with you and have experienced the same insight. It has since helped me focus on what matters as I attempt to solve problems a bit outside my abilities.
Hopefully their next version comes quick, imagine using "sur" instead of "sul".
> Yes, this is really sad to see that much people in the OSS scene using nonfree ways to communicate.

And the reasons are entirely understandable:

- you don't have to run your own infrastructure

- you don't have to run your own protections against fraudulent activity, DDOSes, bots etc.

- you don't have to worry about availability on any number of platforms, including mobile
My thoughts exactly. Also, the success rate of calming down a mentally unstable person threatening violence to self or others is only about 33% for someone who is trained and knows the patient's history. That leaves a lot of risk for that other 67% of the time.
Kindle books were actually pretty good, back when they could reliably be liberated. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case.

In general, I think that's also a point we can draw from the cyberpunk genre, or maybe from Harry Harrison's old-school prefiguration of it in the Stainless Steel Rat series - the eponymous creature being one well suited to thrive "within the walls" of a society increasingly sclerotized with technocratic bureaucracy, but perhaps equally suited to a life of gnawing through the circumscriptions imposed by competing technofeudalist fiefdoms.
Good riddance. He's the one who proposed the herd immunity strategy in the UK, and promoted an alt-right eugenicist to the cabinet.
> How are plants, with no advanced nervous system, able to gather information about their environment to guide their behavior, planning and flexibly executing movement? Sound, maybe. Or chemoreception. Possibly even eye-like structures.

'eye-like structures'?!

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2016.07.008:
Although plants are sessile organisms, almost all of their organs move in space and thus require plant-specific senses to find their proper place with respect to their neighbours. Here we discuss recent studies suggesting that plants are able to sense shapes and colours via plant-specific ocelli.

Cannot access the study but this sounds fascinating!
sssh... don't tell anyone about hetzner.
It sounds like this pilot is using a specific subset of workers who are being given some degree of specialized training to deal with these situations, and it sounds like you have not been given this training, is this accurate to the best of your knowledge?
Would be interesting to experiment with a forum that only works with video. Particularly if the video recorder starts when you are playing a 'comment' and captures your realtime reaction/response interaction with the content. Then you have the option to upload or nah.

Then on playback the forum synchronizes all of these clips so that it's one continuous experience. UX could be the active video playing while 3-4 live 'replies' silently stack up to the right and you just mouse over over the one you want to unmute (now) and roll into the conversation
(next). Maybe your video is in there too so you can hover over it to indicate you want to reply.

Lastly the ability for everyone to grab clips and start threads from them would be interesting to help avoid the blab factor.
For bamboo you see the fast part, but not the slow part. The shoots are prepared over a number of months where all the nodes are made underground. Then when it is ready the space between the nodes is added causing the very fast telescoping action.
Thank you for the risks and efforts you take and make every day.
This should be illegal and Google should be forced to split into small independent companies. Nobody can compete with them so they have unfair advantage. They need to abide by the rules any small business have to follow and pay the right tax. If they managed to amass so much wealth by gaming the system it should be confiscated.
I wish there were some service I could call in between 911 and... nothing. If I call 311 it almost always results in a call to 911, because they can’t do anything.

However, I worry about the safety of these mental health workers. I don’t know how they are going to do this safely.
Really interesting article! I wasn’t aware of this technology to be honest, but seems very promising...
I'd take a guess that most regulations are helpful - everything occasionally has downsides, especially if you game the system.

For example: You probably don't test a new can of paint for lead - thanks to regulation.

I don't know the standards now, but telcos used to have consumer positive regulations as well. Like having to offer citizens of some states payment plans so they can afford their phone or regulated to apply payment certain ways to help avoid total phone disconnection (landlines here). Fines if phones weren't answered in good time.

Some states had weak regulation about updating rural and poor areas as they do the profitable ones: Some countries still make sure this is done in a timely manner.
Material doesn't infringe rappers^w people do, context is important as well. For example in UK Fair Dealing time-shifting of live broadcasts is allowed, but retention or sharing (eg watching a recording of a TV show with another person!) is not.

I think both the USA and UK DDAs allow copying as part of production of accessible content.

Honestly though, I'm not sure how this fits with "circumvention" the wording (UK) appears to allow it.
Too far gone in terms of a warped reality (in this case), yes. Fundamentally evil, no. That's the important distinction here.
One is about turbulence (i.e. structure of the flow of the liquid) while the other actually relies on there being something other than liquid water in the flow (air or in the case of super cavitation vapor). Not sure if that answers your question - maybe you wanted to know about differences in performance (don’t know about that).
Presumably they won't conscript mental health professionals into this work. It should be done on a voluntary basis. My understanding is that approaches like this work with acceptable levels of risk in other countries, so hopefully it will be likewise successful here. That being said, my gut reaction is that I would not want to be the person called upon to do this job, and I could understand any other person who felt likewise. I would want to be armed when dealing with people who are operating outside the ordinary human envelope of behavior. Maybe that's my Americanness talking.
This is great. Thank you! Maybe this is a good idea for all submissions? (include a short synopsis about the article(TL;DR)

The trouble with Apple's mobile devices is almost the opposite to Android ones: your data is heavily restricted to the Apple ecosystem (unless you're willing to give up a lot of that privacy) so even you may have difficulty transferring it to other equipment or services you choose to use. The trend may be further in that direction, too, if reports of future portless devices that can only communicate wirelessly turn out to be accurate.

The article says #8-32 bolts were put in #10-32 holes, which is odd, because they shouldn't mesh at all (OD 0.164 vs ID 0.173).

IIRC one of young Voltaire's French lady friends was studying the Principia, and it was considered a trendy thing to do.

Gee, I was always under the assumption it had a tremendous impact on Enlightenment science.

Tbh the biggest benefit I see in such setup is the freedom of directing your email wherever you want. I wanted to quit Google 4 or 5 years ago and just having to redirect my domain to a private host rather than having to change my email address entirely is the one thing that made it possible

First of all, this isn't even true - it's around $240/month.

Second, people living in those countries aren't buying US data plans at US prices are they? You don't live in the Congo but shop for your data plan at a California strip-mall, do you?
Ok, wow - that'd be the last place i'd have looked at (not that i noticed you'd get a + sign once you hover over the top-most entry).

I hate to be pendantic, but:

"Are there features or actions that are underused because their worded in a non-obvious or unappealing way?"

"their" should clearly be "they're". I mean, a post promoting precise "microcopy" should at least get the basics right, I think.

> I semi worked around it by adding accounts.google.com to my ublock origin block list but about once a month I have to turn it off to allow me to log into Google.

This is where uBO's dynamic filtering[1] is useful, as it allows you to globally block `accounts.google.com`, and then unblock it only for specific sites by overriding the global block rule with a local noop rule.

I have to agree, as someone who's been veggie their whole life these fake meat burgers are the bane of my culinary existence. Give me a black-bean burger or a sweet potato burger or a lentil burger or a plain old soy burger anyday!
Yes, I have found pricing to be a tricky one. It got better after a few gigs.
The device knows when it is on a metered connection and should send logs (which is a preference the user can decline during device setup) only when it is on a metered connection. If it doesn't, that's a bug. Google is pretty unresponsive to bugs filed via the external Android bug reporting tool, so if this is a bug, I hope they pay dearly and pay more attention.

It's possible that the device they ran the test on had an unlimited data plan, in which case, this might not be a bug, and the judge will throw out the case.

Use of Ketamine is souring due to the death of Elijah McClain, so you should refrain from claiming it's safe. There is always risk when injecting someone with a chemical in an emergency or crisis situation. No doubt your job is tough and underpaid, but it sounds like your mindset is perfect to be complicit in acts of police brutality.
Love these topics. I've been obsessed with this subject over the last ~4 years since i heard about Camlistore (Perkeep).

Oddly, in the time span my love for content addressable stores has only grown - but my desire for "retaining" any online data has shrunk to near nothing. With the exception of Spotify, i avoid not only giving data but leaving a footprint on the cloud. I know it's happening, but i rotate accounts frequently, delete old posts, etc - and try to scrub with limited effort.

This hasn't affected my motivation for a data warehouse; but it has limited my desire to spend any effort on keeping things in sync. Which is good for me, because watching the effort Camlistore went through to constantly scrape and maintain syncing behavior from Facebook, Twitter, etc.. i'm glad to avoid it.

These days i mostly focus on writing a Camlistore with some of my own preferred interfaces. Notably "normal SQL database". I didn't enjoy Camlistore's app interface, i just want the feeling of using SQL. But i also love content addressable stores so that's where i sit.

My efforts currently work towards merging concepts between Camlistore and Noms DB, with a SQL and Git like interfaces. Large problem for side projects, but plenty to keep me interested.
This was definitely a bit of a Foot Heads Arms Body moment.
Free accounts is an efficient way to trace users for their Ads business. No way they will terminate it.
It doesn't have to be an account ban. I've recently started playing games on my old Nintendo 3DS again and discovered that I've lost my Nintendo Network ID password and closed the associated email account. That leaves me in a state where I can't log out of the account on the console without losing the associated digital software licenses.

Not that that's Nintendo's fault but I think something like this will be the fate of every account that's not used, closed or deleted for a long time and owning your data and software possessions would protect against it.
> Can you empathize with genius beyond your comrehension

Yes. A 'genius beyond your comprehension' is still a human and will have some experiences that other humans can relate to. Being smart doesn't make you a space alien.
That exact "logic" is extremely common in journalism, as well as on most social media platforms including this one.

If you think about it, this shouldn't be all that surprising - after all, this is exactly how intuition works, and the human mind runs very much on intuition, people just don't realize it (at the object level).
This isn't specific to politicians. Calling someone a fascist in
public(meaning 10+ witnesses I think) is considered defamation
and, yes, if you cannot prove such claims it can have
consequences.

Note that this does not apply to just any kind of insult as you
say. It's for cases when it's considered harmful for one's
public image, as usual with defamation. I've never heard of a
simple "Idiot!" leading to any consequences. I don't know
why it's "incredibly fascist" to win a defamation case when
someone called you a fascist in the open. Though I do admit that
it's hard to draw a clear line with these things, and there are
arguments for both sides as long as it doesn't steer towards
censorship.

When you use Google or FB or others to sign in, you just get some data, that you can trust.

Internally, on my website, i may have an account, that i then link to this Google or FB account.

1) If Google shuts down an account, authorization might still work for the purpose of logging in somewhere else. Your email might not work anymore, like any other services within Google. But authorization does. That it does not, is an implementation detail.

2) Since internally i have created an account, that is only linked to your Google account, i can always allow you to also login via any other method. Maybe with your facebook account.

3) I think, things will become better. You use your devices to authorize yourself. And i then trust your device. Then there is no 3rd party involved anymore.
The statistics are that most police officers never fire their weapon while on duty.

I think there's a small portion of scenarios where the presence of the weapon suppresses violence.
Related to your warning, the story of that guy who lost his @n Twitter account because of that[1] (even though I think it still reduces the impact radius because until your password gets reset you can still access the service)

Honestly, I'll take either empathy or compassion. We need more of both.
Huh, it looks like I might be. I could have sworn this was a block 1B or block 2 feature, that they were going to eject the engine unit and refurbish it, but looks like I must be mistaking it for the Vulcan. That's a shame they might have abandoned their engine re-use plan.
Google by being present and controlling every part of ecosystem has unfair advantage in the market. They need to be split and start paying the right tax. Any wealth achieved by creative accounting should be confiscated. Any data collected without legitimate business need should be ordered to be deleted. If company has a search engine, it should be illegal to use that data to feed ad serving business. If company produces phone hardware it should be illegal to sell it with closed operating system. Basically any kind of monopoly or cartel needs to be prevented. Companies should be banned from having offshore structures without legitimate business need.
Application trust is hard, but Apple does it well
I am a happy Logseq user since summer. I use it as personal and work related knowledge base. It has been developping quickly. I really appreciate publishing features and github sync. I'm self hosting knowledge graphs for my team and despite some early hiccups it's working really well and intuitive. Glad to see it on hn as well.
That is speculation in the article and seems extremely unlikely.
Zulip cannot be read without signing up. That's very annoying.
Which I don't really understand, it's an attempt at global censorship, that's the concern. But as it's a ruling against Facebook the general impression I get is casual dismissal

A decade ago I wrote some Lisp code that generated C++ code with something similar.

It was completely inadequate, I would use SQLite now for the same. But it was very fun to write.
Yeah, I almost didn't click on this because I thought it would be langauge-wars-y. Glad I took the chance.

Also, this talk seems wonderfully lucid.

All the noise from the bubbles and rocket engine prevents the torpedo from listening to and tracking its target. Point, shoot, and hope the torpedo gets there before the target moves too far.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) produces impressive summaries for policymakers in which explain alongside every claim the corresponding level of confidence, the quantity of evidence available, and the level of agreement between studies/scientists. For example:

> Risks of global aggregate impacts are moderate for additional warming between 1–2°C, reflecting impacts to both Earth’s biodiversity and the overall global economy (medium confidence). Extensive biodiversity loss with associated loss of ecosystem goods and services results in high risks around 3°C additional warming (high confidence). Aggregate economic damages accelerate with increasing temperature (limited evidence, high agreement), but few quantitative estimates have been completed for additional warming around 3°C or above.

I've always wished more scientific (or pop science) writing followed this approach.

"Being able to feel empathy and to take in the other person's perspective – these are two abilities through which we understand what is going on in the other person's mind."

How about being able to feel oneself and take one's own perspective, for a change. What a strange world, where every one takes someone else's perspective.
>DMCA does not include fair use as an allowable reason to circumvent DRM. //

Could you cite the law you're referring to here please?

The UK CDPA as amended to follow the EU's Marrakech directive seems to say anything that prevents you from exercising your Fair Dealing rights to make content accessible for disabled people is void if it contradicts these rights. This seems necessarily to allow for circumvention of DRM (for people with disabilities and specific registered companies) but that also appears to mean production of circumvention means needs to be legal otherwise such accessibility will be impossible.
I see the only use of 3PIDs in a professional setting where people have to find co-workers using emails or internal phone numbers.

In my opinion, it is really useless for anyone else.
