> Juspay has masked only six digits out of sixteen-digit card numbers. Rajaharia says that while this is good, the safety of users rests primarily on the hashing algorithm.
> The prime mover behind the rise of adtech was lack of any standards or easy usage for payment acceptance on the Internet.

I disagree. Online commerce has always been very healthy and pervasive almost since the beginning of the web. Payments were never the problem they're sometimes made out to be. "Standards" are completely unnecessary except for the de facto standards of MasterCard and Visa that predated the web.

The rise of adtech is explained simply: many if not most consumers make decisions based on the price of the product, and nothing beats a price of free! If you can offer a product that's free and still make a profit from it by selling ads, then you have a huge advantage over non-free competitors. For physical products, that's nearly impossible, but for virtual products it's quite feasible.

Paid upfront software has a long history on the web, despite the Orwellian revisionism of the App Store apologists who want to erase the past. Even paid upfront software plugins sold on the web have a long history. Web browser plugins and extensions, on the other hand, have tended to be free. This may be the result of most web browsers being free, or included with the operating system. Firefox is free, Chrome is included with Android and free otherwise, Safari is included with macOS/iOS, Internet Explorer was and now Microsoft Edge is included with Windows. The browsers themselves never made a point of taking payments, and so browser extensions were never really designed by the browser vendors with taking payments as a priority. It's kind of an historical accident, but one the browser vendors don't seem to be interested in correcting. Although now for better or worse, Safari web extensions can only be distributed via the Mac App Store.
Given the pressure by the EU and China on US companies to enforce local laws globally (GDPR, RTBF, Taiwan), I don't see how Github, operating in the US, as a US company, has any chance absolving itself of enforcing US laws and regulations (though in this specific case they appear to have overreacted, likely due to regulatory enforcement via algorithm and not common sense).

If you expect US companies to respect GDPR and cookie banners and the right to be forgotten, globally; you cannot be surprised that they will respect and enforce US law globally as well.

Wow! That is a very big deal!!! Almost all of the Apps I have on my Android phone are installed from F-Droid, and I try to avoid installing any Apps from other sources, exceptions force upon me by my social circle, like WhatsApp.

I have a PinePhone but it is not yet ready as a daily driver, and also the difference in hardware performance between my Android phone (which I bought this year) and PinePhone (or even Librem) is abismal. I wish there was at least one (or many) linux phone ready to be a daily driver and with hardware comparable to modern Android phones (or iPhones), but unfortunately that is not yet the case, although the community has made a massive effort this year to advance the state of linux on phones, at least for PinePhone...

I use a MacBook for work and same thing, almost all the apps I have I installed using homebrew (and the UI apps, with brew cask)

EDIT: I see that, at least for now, it's optional and you can un-enroll, which is good.

Population has approximately doubled while simultaneously huge swaths of the globe have gone from "only the rich can afford cars" to "the middle class can afford cars."

While the CO2 certainly isn't good one would need to do some Olympic level mental gymnastics to argue that an increase in wealth to the point where billions more people can afford an expensive complex good like a car is a bad thing overall.

AIUI, economists measure inflation by comparing prices of a "basket of goods" – the contents of which change over time, specifically to reflect changes in consumer habits, technological progress, and other non-monetary factors. If we can trust or agree that the basket is updated frequently enough with sufficient accuracy at a broad scope, then inflation should indeed be comparable over decades.

Here's how the UK defines its basket of goods, and the rules for changing it: https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/arti...

Probably some key paragraphs:

> Unfortunately, the pandemic has permanently broken every economic chart in existence.

> But if we take away the outlier 2020 data points, the average real annual GDP growth from 2010-2019 was 2.3%. The inflation rate in that time averaged roughly 1.8% per year.

> If you’re one of the conspiracy people who believe inflation has actually been running at 5-6% per year, that would assume the economy has been contracting by 1-3% per year over the past 10 years.

> And if you’re a full tinfoil hat person who assumes inflation is actually 10-12% per year[fn2], that’s like saying we’ve been in a full-blown depression and the economy has lost 80% of its value.

> This is absurd and patently false but that’s the claim you’re making if you really think inflation is this high.

[fn2] then points to a tweet:

Which has inflation at 10-12%, per:

The creator of this report is Ed Butowsky:

* https://chapwoodindex.com/contact-us/

His connection to reality seems to be tenuous in some aspects:

> In June 2018, Butowsky filed a defamation lawsuit in U.S. federal court seeking $57 million in damages from NPR and one of its reporters, David Folkenflik. Butowsky accused Folkenflik of pushing a "false narrative" of Butowsky's involvement in a now-retracted Fox News story alleging that the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was connected to the 2016 leak of DNC emails to WikiLeaks. Butowsky also alleged that Folkenflik conspired with an attorney to extort money from Fox. Butowsky told Courthouse News Service that he still believes the Fox News story was accurate.[12] The case is scheduled to go to trial in mid-2021.[13]

> By August 2020, Butowsky still insisted that the retracted Fox News story was accurate.[2] He claimed without evidence that the Seth Rich family were "not innocent bystanders" and that they were "in possession of material evidence indicating that Seth Rich downloaded the DNC emails, sent them to Wikileaks, and requested payment."[2]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Butowsky#Murder_of_Seth_Ric...

So if the GDP grew "only" ~2.5%, then any inflation above that (as the 'truthers' claim), would mean were actually in a recession/depression for the last decade... which makes no sense. If inflation is >5% (per the truthers), then the economic growth would have had to been on top of that, for a nominal growth rate of >7%.

It seems broadly comparable to an ARM Cortex A9 in width and reorder depth but it seems to be using a lot more pipeline stages to do that. Probably that's because they had less engineer-years to invest in the design than ARM did. It looks like it's using pure automatic synthesis so the clock speed will tend to be lower on equivalent process nodes too. The big question is how accurate the prefetcher and branch predictors are. It's entirely possible for an 2 issue out of order core to be slower than 2 issue in order core if the later is significantly better at speculating.

Still, that's a good bit of work they should be proud for putting out there and I hope other people build on it.

EDIT: Oh, wait, they don't mention register renaming. Hmm, well, I guess no speculating over multiple iterations of a loop then.

EDIT2: No, the PDF the link mentions a rename unit. http://www.rsg.ci.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp/members/shioya/pdfs/Mashim...

Not exactly, it doesn't use "java frameworks". I don't exactly remember Implementation details (has been few years since I fiddled with it). It executes binaries same way as any app can do, there may be some JNI involved in the way you get to shell, but that's it.

And what's wrong with it? It may be implementation detail but termux increases utility of the phone. It seems you always have an axe against UNIX / FOSS ecosystem to grind. But every system has its strengths and weaknesses, Unix is just too ubiquitous for what it is worth. Look at fuchsia, while having laudable goals, has already become quite complicated (in typical Google project manner).

While I really, really want a GNU/Linux Android-alternative to succeed, at the moment a good solution for those of us who can't go without Termux is LineageOS [1], an Android fork, comes with a terminal emulator WITH root access (of course you can install Termux if you prefer how it handles packages.) You can also install Play Store apps on it, should you feel so inclined.

> If Paypal freeze your account then any money in it is simply lost (and your loss is Paypal's gain!).

While this is completely tangential to the current discussion, I feel compelled to inform you that that's not how it works. When Paypal freeze your account, your account is not deleted, you just can't do anything with it. The money on it obviously remains yours. You just have to convince them that your account should be unfrozen or wait the maximum duration you agreed to in Paypal ToS - 180 days - after which they have to hand it back to you.
Check out Termius. I've never used Termux so I'm not sure if Termius has the same feature set but it was enough to occasionally ssh in to my machine to attach/detach a gnu screen session to do what i needed.

The "small codebase" claim hinges on the fact that you're not counting the lines of code in nginx, leveldb, and other external software that are glued together to make this system. Those systems may reflect the years of battle-hardening you seek.

So, it may be more reliable than you think by virtue of that selective counting of codebase lines.
I had similar issues with their macOS app using a pretty basic headphone+microphone setup (EarPods). I ended up leaving it off and not re-installing in on my latest setup.

You do not have a hardware mute button. There is an output mute, but not an input mute. I wrote one in about 10 lines of AppleScript and associated it with a hot key. It ~mostly~ works.

If you are talking about the application-specific software mute, I had such a terrible time finding it amongst all my open tabs and latency every time I wanted to type or speak that I wrote the above hardware-ish button.
At this level "might makes right" is the only reality. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Oh yeah they went through UN for the sanctions... right... as if the UN isn't little better than a rubber stamp agency in these areas.

On the flip side the US can do little if someone like China or Russia decide to trade with and help out Iran. The problem is the software sector is heavily dominated by the US, so they can disproportionately affect Iran.

So wait; if the hashing algorithm is known, salted or otherwise it should be extremely easy to discover the unhashed card numbers, right? If I understood the masking part, that means you only need 1,000,000 guesses with whatever hashing algorithm.

That's... cheap. And I doubt even slow algorithms will make it a hassle.

Hi! your application system is kind of flawed, it don't offer you a form nor any chance to include your github link nor respond the questions.
Without providing technologies, location, or desired experience, you're asking "If you code, email me." On the spectrum of "firehose of irrelevant applications" to "silence", I'm curious what your inbox looks like.
I've used Jmeter quite a bit over the last year, and what seems to be the largest issue is that it doesn't "break" apps because it works at the protocol level and isn't a full "browser". As you increase load and response times start to increase, since it runs sequentially through the test plan the time between the requests also increases. But, when actual humans with browsers use apps there are loads of AJAX requests being fired which don't necessarily go in order or wait for others to complete first.

What I found is to really bring things to the breaking point you actually need two tests at the same time, one to generate static load, and another to spank it. Of course, most people don't need to do this - we had to bring our app to its knees to find a particularly elusive (possibly concurrency related) bug that only appeared with high load & many active sessions.

At the end of the day, I think load testing will only get you to ~80% accuracy. I completely agree with the author about the conclusion.
How does LineageOS compare to /e/OS?
Show HN: Superfast KV store for React Native
This native RN library provides bindings for LevelDB. What makes it special is that it uses RN's JSI to avoid the JSON (de)serialization that's usually required when going over the bridge.

In my tests our library performed 2x (iPhone XS) to 7x faster (Samsung J5) than either AsyncStorage or react-native-sqlite-storage, as both depend on the RN's bridge.

We are going to be using this in production long term. Looking forward to your comments and happy to help if you are planning to use this.
I meant "compatible" in the sense of "allows upgrade to", so you're correct. I could have phrased that better.

The lack of ID card based auth isn't really the fault of the team behind gov.uk, who provide the best service they can for government SSO in the form of Verify: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/introducing-govuk...

National ID cards are a particularly thorny issue politically, there's been a few attempts to introduce them, all of which have been noisily shut down in parliament because of privacy concerns. There isn't really any single database of people in the UK, with different ministries having their own databases. In principle this seems like a pretty good approach, even if it does mean that things like authentication with web services is a bit clunky.

There are tons of people using System Verilog for RISC-V. The majority of work done is with System Verilog and not Chisel. Having lots of cores in both Chisel, System Verilog and many other languages (VHDL,BlueSpec and so on) is a huge benfit for RISC-V

SiFive values programmability above everything and for that Chisel is pretty clearly an advantage.

Not true. State friendly media and even state media here in China regularly push the narrative of foreign origin. They even claimed this a US bioweapon during height of their bullsh*t. And yes, a non-insignificant amount of people buy into this (data point of two: my parents).
>Their websites might not look the part, but they excel.... accessibility....

I remember they had a design document ( Something similar to [1] [2], but not the exact one I was looking for ) where they list accessibility as their number one priority and a very long list of accessibility requirement. Simply because Government Web Site needs to be accessible by everyone. That means there are certain fancy things and colour scheme they cant do.

I wonder if the stack for Gov.UK are the same as their Petition Site [3] or was it based on something else? They have an Open Source Github account [4] for Government Digital Service which list everything they have open sourced.

I might give the GNU/Linux phone another shot.

I do prioritize currency over stability in many instances, but I do want a reasonable level of stability which is admittedly quite subjective. Pop!_OS or other Ubuntu-based distros seem to strike the right balance for me (Pop won me over with it's built in, togglable tiling manager, a feature I'd have to spend a week's worth of free time researching and trying to get working properly in, say Arch.) I just don't have much free time and motivation to spend getting some tiny quality of life improvement to work.

If you use GSuite Enterprise, you can use Meet's built-in noise cancellation which runs on TPUs in a DC.

https://krisp.ai works locally and is cheaper, but it noticeably degrades quality (tested with the Chrome extension only).
It's a bit harder than that. You have to worry about forwarding results from one pipeline to another bypassing the registers if you want to avoid having to deal with stalls waiting for results. The transistor cost of the bypass network grows as the square of the number of pipelines so it can be pretty significant, potentially being larger than the cost of the execution pipelines themselves.

Many modern designs aren't fully bypassed and involve clusters of pipelines to manage this. IBM's recent Power chips and Apple's ARM cores are particularly known to do this.
