This is so fascinating! I knew Australia hosts a lot of Chinese students but they're really on their way to making education an export of theirs. Thanks for the perspective. I'm beginning to see the huge potentials of this treaty for the parties involved.

* option to notify user certificate got revoked. Short description why twitter style and link to details and give user choice to quarantine it or to still use it. This is in similar style what antiviruses do it telling you: 'this kind of malware name was potentially found but if we are wrong feel free to remove from quarantine'.

* revocation list is checked twice a day locally on the machine and twice a week (always on the same days) the current way remotely to strike a good balance as a default. Allow user to adjust frequency.
> bad schools (the private school for your kids will really bust your budget)

Oklahoma has significantly better schools than California[1]. San Francisco has notoriously bad public schools, and hardly any upper-middle people send their kids there. It's not like NYC, which has strong magnet programs for the gifted. The one really good SF school, Lowell, is replacing its meritocratic test score system with a diversity lottery.

I'm not so sure how helpful this all is, to be honest. While I am sure almost all libertarian-leaning folks would agree with your policy positions, libertarianism is really a system of political thought - not a political party, nor a collection of specific policies.

People say this like customs enforcement agencies don't know about this. In some cases this is acceptable, but it depends on the exact trade rules about the amount of local content that needs to be added in a country.

> People spreading falsehoods deserve limited protection IMHO.

Nobody deserves special protection from "deplatforming"[0] from the government; giving the government the ability to say "you must carry this speech" is just as tyrannical as giving them the right to say "you must not carry this speech". If one has the freedom to speak and associate, one must also have the freedom to be silent and disassociate.

[0] It's amazing how many people who've been "cancelled" or "deplatformed" continue to tell me so on the internet. One can't help but wonder how effective this so-called deplatforming really is.
If CA couldn't manage a high-speed rail line between two major urban centres, what makes you think they can move electrical lines underground?

The last major project the state undertook was the Hetch-Hetchy aqueduct, and that project was done in Jerry Brown's father's time. Pat Brown was governor of CA in the 60's.

You can mark emails with labels though depending on your Email client. The onus is on you. SourceHut also supports adding labels to SourceHut tickets through email I believe.

You can assign a review to someone. You literally just CC them on the email.

> And that means I have to go in my email client settings, make a new folder, make a new filter rule to direct email from that list into that folder. That's a huge amount of friction that doesn't exist in the web-based workflows.

If that is a lot of friction for you, then you probably either have a horrible email client, or don't know how to use it.
I would posit that piss-poor methodology is part of the ideology of the American right. This is part of the problem, by claiming things that used to be frowned upon by everybody (basically lying and misinformation) as part of their political identity they get to claim you're being biased when they get called out for their bullshit.

It's gaslighting on a national scale.
My brother is a commercial pilot and I think many people would be terrified of how many issues routinely arise on a normal flight if they were told about them. When everything double/triple redundancy and procedures are so regimented it rarely warrants mention and causes undue worry.

In contrast a flight with no engineering issues through heavy weather and turbulence would have many in the cabin stressed.
> Republicans seem to love their mostly meaningless and unsurprising performative doxologies.

You need to update your views for today's political scene. These conditions were true up til around 2008. Since then, the Democrats are now the party that engages in the performative doxologies.

Need I remind you of all that tone-deaf BLM kneeling crap in DC? Or how about the mask mandates? The face masks are the Democrats' "American flag lapel pin."

This is a really good point, there is no good reason to have millions of devices phone home for permission on every single app open. If Apple's claim is to be believed there are a million patterns that make more sense for achieving this goal. Blacklists, whitelists, caching, etc.

I get "never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence", but this is Apple. Are we to believe that this public, unencrypted endpoint was set up and is being called tens of millions of times a day because Apple engineers were too incompetent to come up with a better solution for something so fundamental (to Apple) as the security of the software running on their devices? And flying so blatantly in the face of their claim to protect user privacy?

This whole incident is completely bonkers. People should be getting fired over this and there should be an apology and a massive step back from this horrible, horrible approach.
We don’t need to necessarily protect the trees as they are today. At least in America, the high tree density in our forests is unusual. Historically the forests were sparser and featured larger trees that could survive fires and also kept underbrush down, which prevented big continuous sections of dry fuel. This means small healthy fires took place without need for intervention.

Modern forest management regulation has backfired by making it too hard for land owners to log and thin forests, and at the same time, neither the federal or state governments are doing the job themselves. And so we have dense forests. This has other side effects like increased pestilence, which spreads in dense stands, results in dead trees, which then dry up and turn into fuel. The resulting big fires then keep trees from growing into maturity (“old growth”) and the cycle continues.

Like you, I’m not in favor of unabated giant fires - we need to break that pattern - but once we do, we also need to return the forests to how they were 1-200 years back, when they managed themselves.

See https://youtu.be/O6Vayv9FCLM for a talk by a US Forest Service researcher on this topic.

While everyone on HN (including me) is mad about the privacy implications of what's happening here - including how all this doesn't do much good for programmers dealing with all kinds of binaries updated daily, I quickly want to point out that I think this type of functionality is a great idea for most non technical users. Apple has always been at the forefront of extreme usability (kids using iPads, seniors sending iMessages) and the internet has a lot of toxic stuff that needs to be kept away from many non technical users (for my parents' computer, I rather have this ping home to Apple with hashes of apps they open than them being exposed to tons of malware). That said they really need to work on the privacy aspect..

I don't think we're far from this at all. The Twitter issue is different from the CTH issue covered here; the issue with Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube is that when you're kicked off those platforms, you lose your only real hope of a revenue stream. This has happened to a number of conservative notables, content creators, etc. I think we are already at a point where these companies are so big and powerful that being shunned by one could put you out of business.
The Internet just taps into the primal (that is, of primate) instincts of humans. We're just a bunch of apes with technology, and the Internet is just a conduit for our lackluster emotional brains to connect to each other.

There is no way around it because humans are deeply emotionally flawed, and these flaws are amplified by our technology. No amount of technology will fix it, as it will just be another catalyst.

Looking elsewhere in the branches of life for intelligence, such as octopuses, whales, in particular orcas, and elephants, we see different types. Are they more or less emotional? The communal spirit of elephants and that of orcas, the latter of which showcase particularly striking examples of cooperation, does make you wonder. But then it again, it makes you wonder if all higher forms of intelligence lead you to take advantage of a greater amount of situations and why we even bother trying to establish ourselves out there for other intelligent lifeforms to find.

Certainly you need to consider both supply and demand, and how fast both are growing. Ignoring any of these variables turns your prediction into luck. You need a way to assess their relative size. Looking at how successful others in the market currently are is actually a pretty good way to assess this. Except if their high margins may be based in large part on factors you can't benefit from, like network and monopoly (e.g. IP) advantages.

That's kind of the case for all this kind of big-picture advice. There's some truth but some missing variables that may be just as important. "Bread crumbs" was a good way to describe it, I think.

I would argue it's because Google has to value security and privacy in a way Apple doesn't - Google has to build platforms instead of gardens, so there's an 'adversarial' incentive to make sure you're not held liable due to a 3rd parties actions.

Also, these incidents would be a thermonuclear event for search due to the intimacy and inherent 'Internet-ness' of the data - versus Apple, who can get away with incidents like introducing Intelligent Tracking Prevention - two years later, it turned out it was a globally unique identifier that also leaked your web history [1] Yet, because Apple didn't have a perceived incentive to leak this information, people see it as a 'mere' competency issue and move on.

What seems to be missing from these discussions is the gigantic bet that SpaceX is making on Starlink. They performed 15 launches for this constellation already that they paid for themselves. If the internet service business doesn't generate revenue the launcher side will see a majority of its launch manifest evaporate and book enormous loss.

From the outside it seems that a commercial failure of Starlink would bankrupt all of SpaceX.
Violent crime is often also property crime in fact, but often not counted as such. So the level of violent crime masks some of the property crime.
$10K is a move[0], or a huge chunk of a down payment on a reasonably priced home[1]. If you're a high paid tech worker who's been seeing a huge percentage of your salary go to sky high rent, that extra $10K might be enough to do it.

[0] I've moved cross states a few times into and out of 2bd apartments; for a self pack move you can easily expect to pay about $6-10k, depending on distance, housing arrangements, and truck configuration (single truck is cheaper than a transfer to a semi-truck).

[1] Minimum down payment on a house is typically 3.5% with good credit. $10K is enough of a down payment for a ~$300k home, minus closing costs.

> Deng shepherded economic reforms critical to China's success after it was left in dire straits by Mao.

A single person isn't responsible for anything in a major country. Especially a country the size of china. Whenever you are told it is, you are being fed propaganda. Whether it's Xi, Putin, Trump, etc.

> What Xi is doing now, such as halting major IPOs because of perceived criticism from successful CEOs

See what I mean. Do you think Xi called any journalist at the WSJ or bloomberg and told them he's going to halt Ant's IPO because of what Jack Ma said? Or do you think it is nonsense "journalists" made up because they needed a story to sell? Sort of like how everyday after the bell, the news gives us a reason for why the dow went up or down a few points? Do you just believe nonsense you read in the newspaper?

> is more akin to Mao's sensitive nature than Deng's economic leadership.

Oh god, it's amazing how people just parrot propaganda. Yeah, deng's "amazing economic leadership". But there is no deng's economic leadership without mao meeting nixon. And mao doesn't meet nixon without hundred or thousands of sino-american meetings behind the scenes. Do you think Mao just decided on a whim one day to meet nixon? Do you think Deng was the one that set out china's econonic goals? Or do you think in a nation of 1.4 billion people, they had help?

Do you think that Ant's IPO was halted because of Xi and what Jack Ma said or do you think it was because china's regulatory agencies and intelligence apparatus had issues with it?

Just think about it. Everyone has the capacity to think and reason. Lucky for the news industry, most people don't bother otherwise, they'd be out of business.

Interestingly enough, the extent of a country's sovereignty in (air)space is legally quite unclear. It's pretty well established that countries can regulate planes and such flying at an altitude of ~10 km, and the Outer Space Treaty bans claims on celestrial bodies, but everything in between (including Starlink's satellites in LEO, some 2,000 km from the Earth's surface) is in a grey zone.

Legal issues aside, they're also quite literally beyond the reach of all but a small handful of spacefaring nations, and even a nation like China that has the technical capability would not resort to actively shooting them down unless other avenues were exhausted.
As someone in Australia, where our biggest trading partner is China and our primary security alliance and our 3rd biggest trading partner is the US I hope this is the case, but it is turning out to be pretty difficult.

We are in the middle of the worst trade sanctions ever from China after one of our wonderful ministers went to the US and proposed to Mr Trump an international commission to investigate the origins of COVID-19 in China.

Those from Australia will recognize "a commission" as a way to bury a problem without getting anyone offside, but apparently no one told the Chinese this.

So now we have this stupid pointless commission we can't back down from, China stopped buying our exports, and no one in the US even aware that it was supposed to be a way to help the US out.

Getting into which is "the most attractive country on earth" is nationalistically baity, and "what are you talking about" is an internet swipe.

More precisely, if you say that in an internet comment, the default is that it comes across as a personal swipe, for example as a judgment of incoherence. If you actually mean that you would like to understand the other person better, that needs to be expressed more explicitly, in a way that disambiguates from the internet default.

The idea of "dangerous misinformation" is an anti-liberal, anti-Enlightenment notion. Information is not dangerous, information is neutral. It's either right, in which case it's not misinformation. Or it's wrong, in which case it's not dangerous, because it can be refuted.

The most dangerous thing is to suppress the free marketplace of ideas.
