Legal systems failed often on internet topics and does so again. DMCA comes to mind. It arguably doesn't serve any constructive purpose. Some artist have been made believe they need giant content rights holders.

I don't think any government could disallow end-to-end encryption at this point. I think they are careful because it could seriously undermine their authority if they fail, which they very likely would, which would lead to severe embarrassment.

They could still do significant damage of course.
I had an account and you definitely didn't need a drivers license to post anything. I didn't have a picture or anything on my profile.
Convincing Developers to Do Security
This is mine from 2019:

sudo killall ACCFinderSync “Core Sync” AdobeCRDaemon “Adobe Creative” AdobeIPCBroker node “Adobe Desktop Service” “Adobe Crash Reporter”

I should probably stick it in Automator or something because Adobe's invasion is getting really annoying.
YouTube and others try. Parler didn’t, on purpose.

This is really just a lesson about what happens when you squander your reputation and lose the presumption of good faith.
I'm not sure I 100% agree with your categorisation of the Capitol invasion.

wow! so I move from a iphone to a new iphone and I end up with no history?
This is really a deal breaker.
The LTS aspect is all marketing misdirection. All Qt 5 versions are now LTS, including the latest.

This means FOSS releases from the Qt Company are effectively subject to a 1 year delay, and as such they are now being as hostile to the FOSS as they can be under their legal commitments.

Whatever they say, I wouldn't bank on any further public updates to Qt 5.12 or 5.9 either.
> You most definitely don't want to be at a cloud provider with their bandwidth charges.

Amen to that, I don’t understand how anybody decides to go in that direction for this type of project. For my relatively small hobby-project (3Gbit/s image gallery) we’re renting bare-metal servers for $800/mo — cloud providers would be charging $50,000 just for bandwidth, let alone compute and storage…

(Incidentally if anybody knows good CDNs with prices in the same ballpark as bare-metal I’d love to hear it - looks like we’re too big for any of cloudflare’s entry-level plans, but their enterprise support doesn’t want to bother with any customer spending less than $3,000/mo...)
Who said anything about elimination of copyright? Who said I was more aligned with 'them' ?

Most scientific research is funded with grants and by universities with billion dollar endowments. They are not struggling.

You should not make money on the deaths of others because you think it's more important to charge for the knowledge that can save them.

I'm in medical. Some of these papers are life saving. Please don't discount how valuable that science is to humanity as a whole.

This is not about companies making profit. This is about science and the freedom of information. Data wants to be free and it should be.
Well hosting and distributing child pornography is illegal, while hosting other people’s hate speech isn’t.

And how is hosting hate speech “equally odious” to hosting photos of abused children anyway?!

You can use the same argument to abolish all free speech, just by claiming that anything your opponent says is equal to abusing children.
Google was one of the participants in a corporate wage-fixing scandal. Do snacks and foosball tables justify that?
This is not an ARM board, though. I mean it's no powerhouse, but definitely good enough for cattle in production if you're budget constrained.
For typical routing purposes, 10G is overkill.

The number of people with faster than 1G internet is extremely small.

Business customers who have >1G commercial connections are not in the market for using ODROID boards for their routing needs.

2.5G is perfect for hobbyist use because it is significantly cheaper than anything 10G at the moment, while being faster than common 1G.

If you need 10G switching, get a 10G switch.
You're arguing against a straw man. No one is saying "ban them for their thoughts", they are saying "ban them for inciting violence".

(cue the desperate, too-cute-by-half arguments "but are they REALLY inciting violence?")
Please provide an example of an UNIX descendant from Bell Labs implemented microkernel.

POSIX userspace doesn't count, by that measure even an Amiga OS is sundenly an UNIX kernel.

Also a reference CS book in UNIX microkernels architecture would be welcomed.

Even Tanebaum doesn't call Minix 3 a UNIX, rather UNIX inspired.
Unsurprisingly, building strong relationships in the workplace and having a positive attitude are ways to advance your career.
Do programs like these essentially re-compute balances from the entire transaction history any time that it is asked for up-to-date information? Does it cache anything?
Ah, sorry :) Poe's law and all. I rarely pay attention to usernames, I think that the message is more important than who is saying it, if I did so I might have noticed you commented further up the chain.
Ask HN: Who is paying for singal service hosting
There is lot of talk about people moving to Signal app for privacy concerns. My question is Who is paying for hosting the service ? I assume they spend quite a bit for such global scalable application.

So do you agree we were wrong to ban ISIS recruiting groups on facebook?

Less sarcastically, do you agree that the amplification of thought and rhetoric possible using social media isn't something that was considered 500 years ago? i.e. having wrong thoughts isn't dangerous, but having 75 million followers and pushing your wrong thoughts on them is dangerous. It isn't thoughts any longer - it's an action.
Hmm, this [0] used to work for me but doesn't load atm. What happened to it? Wikipedia also mentions a or website (without an address).

They are currently following EU law and France has decided to go rogue and tax them on their own.
"Monopolistic force"? Fucking Glenn Greenwald. Jesus.

This is neither "monopolistic", nor is it "force". Words still have meaning.

First, obviously it's not monopolistic; quite obviously, Parler is still entirely free to roll its own hosting, even if every host out there shuns them.

Second, for reasons I hope I don't have to explain, this isn't "force". This is the opposite of force. This is peaceably retreating from doing business with Parler.

I don't know what happened to Glenn Greenwald about 10 years ago, but something definitely happened.
As an American, sarcasm doesn't register as something associated with the French to me. Something along the lines of snobbish perhaps.

Regulation by whom?

They just sent the biggest signal they possibly could that they're willing to play ball to keep one party in full control of our government forever.

Big Tech is part of your government now. As if years of senior cabinet positions for Big Tech employees wasn't already enough of a clue.
I often wonder how to bottle the magic of this forum and port it to broader audiences. Seems so many more people would benefit.
Sad that they reduced key travel on the X1 line again. It's not butterfly level, but still. I'm excited to try it nonetheless.
I think the owner would get sued, but I'm not sure if it would hold up in US court. We have laws preventing businesses from discriminating based on race, sex, ethnicity, and national origin, but I don't know if there are any such protections that apply to businesses for political affiliation.

The US tends to bias towards letting market pressures take care of this sort of thing, and then stepping in if there are enough high-profile cases of failure.

There are also a bunch of edge cases that I think most people would be ok with. There are conservative-only dating sites. I wouldn't be allowed on the platform, but that doesn't really bother me. If there was a republican-only grocery store, that gets sketchy. And if there was a democrat-only government program, that would clearly be illegal.
You can contact the people running the YCombinator startup program at https://www.ycombinator.com/contact/
And then when you take up arms and commit sedition you get to act all surprised that actions have consequences. The people who invaded the US Capitol building ARE TERRORISTS. Pure and simple. They should be put on no-fly lists and denied basic rights like the right to exist outside of a small cell (after they are tried and convicted for their crimes.)

This is what it feels like to live in a country which tries to uphold the rule of law. Sorry if it inconveniences you, but not sorry.
Besides having a solid payoff for your personal finances, a 100-level knowledge of bookkeeping and accounting, I'd argue, confer near "super powers" when it comes to dealing with finance and accounting people. Bookkeeping is one of the oldest and longest-practiced IT disciplines. Your work probably touches revenue / expenses for your employer and someday you'll need to interface with accounting or finance people. Being able to speak the language, even poorly, has helped me gain trust and credibility that I don't believe speaking only in IT terms would have.
Of course it's not too far.
He was the founder of COMDEX which many here should remember.
> This is disingenuous. Already credit card companies have begun to de-platform people. Once Visa and AmEx refuse to do business with you, you are on increasingly thin ice. If both Google and Apple refuse to host your app in their App Stores, what exactly is your recourse?

Host on your own infrastructure. Present a mobile-responsive web site. Take Bitcoin.

(we're talking, politely, about free speech extremists - so none of this seems wildly inappropriate, right?)
I'd love a firefox version too :)
This really shouldn’t be called Googles union since there isn’t anything exclusive about it - 15 employees could start another ‘union’ tomorrow to put pressure on google for opposite political issues
So lets think about this for a minute. What is the goal? To stop violence and to stop promulgating illegal material? Or to make it look like you want to stop violence?

If its the latter, then lets continue to deplatform people. If its the former, then lets ban facebook, twitter et al given their proven history of allowing violence and hate speech and as an essential tool to organize mobs.

The logic here is terrible and you can't argue against that. No matter how many users parler gets, it won't even come close to having the same reach.
Here's a direct link to their asks: https://twitter.com/AlphabetWorkers/status/13473315873151713...

The gist of it seems to be that "YouTube must no longer be a tool of fascist recruitment and oppression. Anything less is to countenance deadly violence..."
What's preventing the EU from being more targeted like this? Is it the collaborative deliberation (EU) vs. single-party rule (CN)?

Is targeted tariffs something the G8/WTC doesn't like/promote?

you are against anti trust, anti labor, anti discrimination laws that were passed by "lawmakers" .

I pray this thinking doesn't go mainstream.
They could prevent people from accessing them on their phones though, let’s see how long it takes.
Not recommended but I tend to think about the problem I'm solving during off hours. I also constantly take notes about next steps
> I replaced Little Snitch with it.

Did you purchase a Little Snitch licence?

I wonder why someone would go with LuLu if they've already paid for Little Snitch, when LuLu has fewer features.
If you are unfamiliar, I would recommend looking into 'test driven development', i.e. writing tests before you write the implementation, when applicable.

I find it helps clarify/organize and speed up my coding process, and makes it easier to write code even when not in a "flow" state. And it's much easier to, say, write a suite of unit tests in one sitting than to write a working implementation.

One thing I truly want HN to add is a button like https://apolloapp.io or official reddit app have that lets you go down/up the top threads quickly. Usually its in the bottom right corner.

Super useful when browsing on mobile.
HN users ovewhelmingly prefer that money that could have been spent with AWS now goes to this hosting company so this is good news, I suppose?

Secondly, if that content can be legally hosted there, AWS should find it harder to defend its sudden termination of Parler's account. I think they should be able terminate any customer account as they see fit, but when they do it without reasonable notice they should pay for damage caused.
Luckily I think it’s on the way out, thank goodness. I agree that was an awful trend.
They are also not interested in putting signal on f-droid.

Quite off putting to me.
> Sounds more like a political pressure group than a union. No collective bargaining, no workplace issues, only political problems quite removed from the average worker at Google. Do they call themselves a union to get legal protection, or is there another reason why they don't just drop the term?

Yes, it's effectively a PAC, not a union. Just like at Kickstarter where they were more concerned about people deemed 'conservative' not using the platform to promote comicbooks than anything related to work conditions.

A union shouldn't be telling their boss who they can or cannot work with, partner with or have as clients, it's plain insubordination especially when it has absolutely nothing to do with their own compensations or work conditions.

Obviously anybody can claim that employer B working with X or Y make their employees of class Z emotionally 'distressed' or 'unsafe'...

The irony/hypocrisy here is people claiming 'unions are political' when that thing at google is really just about being partisan, yet these people don't have the courage to call a PAC...a PAC, and hide behind the word 'union'.
My current setup: I work in tmux (similar to GNU screen) on a server. I reattach to the session with `tmux a`, and detach with ctrl-b-d. This preserves my tmux windows between ssh sessions, and this captures my state of work where I stopped some code open, commands running, etc. I have command history and "go back" accessible in vim and my command panes. I find this is the best way to jump back in. I reboot weekly, after which I have to re-arrange my work area, but once a week is OK.

I find tmux much more effective for this than just arranging windows on my laptop, because ALL the tmux panes are work related, as opposed to windows on the desktop which get littered with email, websites, calendar, chats, etc. This is mentally hygienic for my productivity -- the terminal is where work happens similarly to how the bed is where sleep happens, so it is easy to get back into the flow based on the context.

I don't feel as productive and lose context a lot more when I had to load up an IDE each morning. If you have to use an IDE, I would recommend leaving it on overnight by hibernating the machine or similar, so you have all your code arranged, breakpoints set, navigation history/undo history etc. This helps me remember where I'm at when I start again in the morning. I'll even often leave the debugger at a breakpoint! I also recommend using the terminal within your IDE if it does not suck (I know it does suck in some IDEs). This allows you to keep all programming operations in one context similar to tmux.
So a platform like that is created.... and all those people move to it?
Software based mute means a compromise of the kernel would destroy the control provided by a software mute.
I'm not sure that's true. Typically (and of course other jurisdictions vary anyway) there doesn't have to be money; there just has to be a consideration, which can be money. Something of value flowing both ways. A lot of contracts end up with a consideration on one party of something nominal like a dollar or a pound, but it doesn't have to be money.

"You get my details and my attention and can harvest my data and make money from it" certainly sounds like it could be argued as having value.
Glenn is totally fine with fascists, as long as those fascists aren't after him personally (i.e. Bolsonaro).
It is not "pedantic", rather literate, to note the word directory instead of grasping for DNS.

"A telephone book was a directory for telephone numbers" is clear and accurate. Unless knowing what the word "directory" means is asserted to be the domain of pedants.

"By providing a worldwide, distributed directory service, the Domain Name System has been an essential component of the functionality of the Internet since 1985."

You will care when the other side is able to do the same thing to us. I'm not necessarily talking about racists either. This seems great until it's used against us.
Thanks for this, as I am thinking about switching to Hyperoptic, and am interested in self hosting several services.
> I appreciate that Android is widely adopted in India, a free and open source operating system but the amount of data being collected is simply too much thanks to oems installing their own software on top of it.

This is because most people in India are buying androids because they are inexpensive, not because they are open source.

Most of the people in India I have talked too, actually aspire for an Apple iPhone but can’t get one because it is too expensive.
This is even more important if you want people in academia to support open source projects with money. It is view as fraud and is illegal to give money to an open source project from a federal grant. If one can buy it and get an invoice, then support is possible.
Double upvoting this.

Sheesh ...
That doesn't seem to answer why we don't just nationalize it.
To be frank current versions of PfSense have been nothing but disappointing since the recent parent acquisition of PfSense. I got frustrated enough with errant problems that I just bought a proper enterprise grade router. Never looked back.

Funny thing is Disney+ is available in south east asia via Hotstar for ~$10 a year with some deals from mobile carriers. I'm not really sure how they made money with that pricing.
React kit is an implementation of Shopify's famous package: https://github.com/Shopify/draggable It's great but complicated with strict API. While react-beautiful-dnd is so React-ish. To manipulate DOM you need pure js with a solution can expose DOM elements to you because you probably need to do more than dragging an element on your layout.
> Parler has a right to exist, full stop.

Pretty much sums up technology elite's thoughts on the right to do whatever they want, whenever they want.
One of my favorite games growing up, and somehow always kept going back to it despite already knowing how to solve all the puzzles.

Seemed like a natural pivot to become a movie someday as well, though I could never see it being a smash hit at the box office.
The reason Parler is popular in the first place is because YouTube and Facebook are no longer viable options for this kind of hate speech. That fight already concluded.
Greenwald’s thing is totally ignoring what his ideological opponents do, and then whine about them not doing what he thinks they should have done.

The idea that Democrats have been easy and kind on Twitter and FB is so disconnected with reality it’s actually kind of funny.
Thanks for adding to this. You're right that I didn't mean to imply that Shimano and others make old kit obsolete very quickly. I would even argue Shimano and Campagnolo (SRAM is still a bit unclear) have been quite good with keeping even old groups supplied with parts etc..

However, people who buy a new high-end bikes are generally reluctant to get a bike with a groupset that will not be the the latest in less than a years time. Especially because traditionally you could get extremely good deals on bikes with the old groupsets once the new one came out.
Agreed. The EU tariffs just accelerated HD's decline, but HD dig their own grave long time ago.

HD decision of focusing their brand on a "hardcore biker" culture that has failed (and arguably even alienated) younger customers is what killed the company.

All customers age, but what HD has failed to do is attract new customers at a faster rate than the death rate of their current customers.
“Politics” is simply the means by which we distribute power and resources. There is no division between labor organizing and politics. We just think there is in the US because worker movements have been systematically dismantled for decades.
They are right wing, radical, extremists. They forced their way into the capital building during a session of congress. They chanted "Hang Mike Pence", among other things, and were armed.

Please elaborate on which part of my characterization you disagree with.
Yes but the solution is not to now hand them more power.
> Silicon Valley wants to use its power to make it harder for people with those views to meet, organize and share their views? Crack on.

No, they should not be doing that. It shouldn't even be legal for Silicon Valley to do that. I don't care that you describe the people being censored as having negative traits, that is your political opinion.
and they got sued for that and lost. No union was involved in holding them accountable
> drags behind them a retinue of trusted aides ... shitting on the remnants of whatever came before them

My first exposure to that idea was the process of re-mything after a regime change, as described in The Chalice and the Blade (Riane Eisler). Yesterday's godhead, deity, creation myth, ledger of debts was obviously deeply wrong. Appropriate, subvert, coopt, as able, all the narratives and levers of power. Utterly obliterate the rest.

Then there's The Prince, of course. Sage advice that usurpers should immediately behead any potential challengers, lest they organize and rebel, covertly or overtly, at some future date.

Same as it ever was. I'm only ever surprised, nay disappointed, when someone doesn't clean the slate. They're either not very good, non-serious, or worse.
I have been here for a few years, there are definitely some areas of groupthink. HN knows it's tech, but it's politics aren't generally as well thought through.
1. Probably. Take a look at some of the Parker dumps before it was shut down. Calls for death squads weren't couched in metaphor.
2. Even if not, Twitter, as much as I loathe it, also has many non-hateful users. Parler was a haven for alt-right extremism.
That doesn't have anything to do with trade wars though?
