good luck starting an eccommerce business where everyone has to write you a money order. oh and you can't use amazon, ebay, or shopify either

you don't really believe what you're saying do you? that's like telling blacklisted hollywood writers and actors that they can make their own plays in their backyards
That is only the case when you have verified your friends keys (by qr code or emoji string).

When one of your friends account is hijacked and has someone snooping on messages, you'd want to know that.

Though I see it might be confusing at first for users to understand that they have to sign their devices. Currently, you have to login with a username/password and afterwards (optionaly) get one of your other devices to sign your new device. Which the UI does clearly ask you to do though.
Norway already was and would continue to be successful without oil. Bangladeshi is one of the most corrupt and disfunctional countries in the world. Oil would have made the situation worse not better. Google “oil curse” to see what happens to most countries when oil is found.
It's never too late! And you only get cauliflower ear from wrestling — never met a single boxer who had it or lost a tooth, at least not from boxing. It's the best workout you can get, even if you're just shadowboxing, hitting the bag, jumping rope. No need to spar or have any contact if you don't want either; I'd say 70% of the people at any gym i've trained at never entered the ring. But make sure you get proper instruction when you start, otherwise you won't get any of the benefits.
This is new information for me - thank you for providing it. What I’d like to understand next is - is there a causal link? This is a pretty unusual year in a lot of ways, including a record number of unemployed people and many people experiencing serious financial pressure. I did a little preliminary googling and it suggested that this is related to a large increase in gun sales in March and April, prior to the George Floyd incident. The other factor that I would think could be relevant is the increase in domestic violence during coronavirus restrictions, as people are trapped with their abusers.

I don’t agree the folks involved in the terrorist attack last week were not a credible threat. If they had succeeding in kidnapping and executing congresspeople, which was both possible and clearly the intent of at least some people who made it into the Capitol, things could have turned out very differently. Something like a third of Congress still thinks we shouldn’t do anything about this - the conditions are ripe for a coup; just because it failed doesn’t mean it didn’t have a chance.
This is the fundamental problem in the US. There is a large group of people on the right that think that pointing out the objective issues with Trump is being "biased".

Sometimes, there just aren't two sides to a story, or more accurately one side is true and the other believes they had the biggest inauguration crowd ever.

The rest of the world clearly sees this. I'll openly admit to being a left-leaning liberal, but even my friends who vote right wing think that Trump is an embarrassment.
CJK input magically working easily and reliably in Gnome is the pretty much the only reason I use it over KDE. And setting it up doesn't require following a wiki, using the commandline and/or having to edit obscure config files or messing around with weird GUI settings apps.

I have nothing against KDE by any means (I love it, and also really appreciate their initatives like KDEnlive, etc.), but I don't think I've ever gotten Japanese/Chinese input to work in it before. Maybe once, but then I gave up on finding a sane way to easily cycle between the different input types (eg, WinKey+Space).
yeah - it is a bit 'cutesy'...

It does seem a bit 'simpler' and 'cleaner' then some of the other systems (li-ion, molten salt, etc). But if the environment allows it, I'd think a pumped water system would be more flexible. Obviously though, not all environments have the space, or the water for that.
Freedom of speech does not entitle to you an audience or distribution network. It never has.
Anybody here use blue jeans? Or can explain why it feels so much better to me? Whatever they do for audio is magic. I spend half my day on teams and 4 to 5 hours a week in zoom, and both are totally exhausting. I bought my own blue jeans account and I push it on family/friends just because the audio ...makes sense to my brain. I /enjoy/ talking to people there. I even convinced my d&d group to switch from hangouts/meet/duo/allo/??? And they seem to agree, blue jeans+roll20 is great.
The same goes for nations also. Ethical concerns are too often ignored in favor of "economic growth" but at the cost of integrity (or as you put it, ability to make the right decisions). As an Australian it's been interesting to observe the cause and effect of our leaders celebrating exports and the sale of national assets to China. The long term effects of these deals are only just starting to be felt.
And I notice the "phone with wheels" built by mostly software engineers chooses to use words with well known meanings from the aviation industry without a) any of the rigour behind the regulations and certifications or b) much in the way of acknowledging the differences between the challenges of an "autopilot" safely managing to traverse the airspace 37,000 feet above Hawaii, compared to a rural lane in the UK (or 280 between the valley and the city).

> Trump derangement syndrome. Anything he touches must automatically be reversed.

I think this is mostly a figment of the right’s imagination. Dems were all in on those $2k stimulus checks and China-bashing seems to have broad support. Trump leaning on other NATO members to pay more (although not the way he went about it) is largely seen as a win.

Trump is an aberration and Trumpism needs to die a death, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Kettlebells. It's space efficient for a home gym. Cheaper initial investment than a barbell and rack. And you can train explosive movements like snatching.
As a matter of national policy, you're absolutely right and maybe this whole "outsource our entire manufacturing chain" thing was a mistake.

As a matter of ethics.. they've lifted a billion humans out of back-breaking subsistence farming and have invaded zero countries in the last 30 years.

This isn't about people having their civil liberties taken away.

The social network bans are businesses protecting themselves from people whom threaten their business. Like a fast food restaurant refusing to serve customers who smoke crack in the restaurant.

The platform and infrastructure bans are also businesses protecting themselves but not from people, rather from other businesses. This is on level with U-haul banning drug cartels from renting their trucks.

No one's civil liberties are being taken away
Amen. Just wait until someone who just doesn't care runs something out of a basement. (Like the Chans were for a while).

Then what? Throw law enforcement at them? This is what causes radicalization to escalate. The stakes get higher and higher, and people's worldviews further and further apart, guaranteeing contradiction and misunderstanding. Call me a discordian malcontent, but good lord, these events were painted on the wall years ago. You'd have to be dead to have not felt it.

In the light of these results, we can affirm that MTProto 2.0 does not present any logical flaw. Vulnerabilities can arise only from the cryptographic primitives, from implementation flaws (e.g. insufficient checks), from side-channels exfiltration (such as timing or traffic analysis), or from incorrect user behaviour. Hence, these are the aspects which deserve further investigation and particular care in the implementation and use of this protocol.

The basic encryption primitive of MTProto 2.0 is assumed to be a perfect authenticated encryption scheme (IND-CCA and INT-CTXT). Although no attack on this scheme is known to date, these properties need to be formally proved in order to deem MTProto 2.0 definitely secure. This proof cannot be done in a symbolic model like ProVerif’s, but it can be achieved in a computational model, using tools like CryptoVerif or EasyCrypt [5, 2], which we leave to future work. However, even in the very unlikely case that a flaw is found in the encryption scheme, the results in this paper would be still valid: the protocol could be used just by replacing the encryption scheme, and no other changes would be required.

This analysis the protocol, not the cryptographic primitives, which was what get criticized
He was one of a number of artists of the time who were looking at aesthetics. Check out his 'On the analysis of beauty'. https://collectionapi.metmuseum.org/api/collection/v1/iiif/3...

Nowadays, the study of aesthetics is the domain of theorists, critics and commentators. Not always to its benefit. Wry smile emoji.

And should Maxine Waters have been banned after she exhorted her followers to harass Republicans?

"Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere."

What kind of civilized person would advocate this type of behavior, much less a member of Congress? And why is this acceptable when Bannon's (admittedly nasty) comment isn't?
That’s what’s great about it—you don’t need a framework at all. You can look at your surroundings and decide what is most appropriate right now.
It is up to the courts to decide if these things are illegal or not. Of course people should be held to the same standard. But there is obviously nuance in how a message may be recieved by others and a question of intent. A sitting president and conspiracy theorist trying to steal an election is different to a group of people protesting against police. Maybe there are grounds for prosecution in both cases, but that's not the point. There is a difference.

I think people want to use these issues as a way of pointing out hypocrisy that only exists when you think in a culture war way. All nuance is dissolved.
Isn't that exactly what Parler is doing? The reason it doesn't work is because network effects and collective action make businesses that try uncompetitive. Go against the grain and all of a sudden everyone you were trading with that made your business feasible drops you. If any other businesses try to support you in their place, they'll also be singled out and get the same treatment.
The fault in part rests with IP itself. If the Internet as a whole functioned more as a self-healing mesh network rather than as routable nodes and super-nodes, the dependency on addressable supernodes is reduced.
If you are a large multinational you can have those considerations, but as a startup you have to take the ecosystem as it currently is, which means most of the manufacturing know-how is currently based in China. There are simply lots of processes which can only be bought for prototype quantities in most western countries. If you try to scale those it's just outside of your budget to do anything but go to China with it.
I'm guessing you mean things like STP, firewalls, rate-limiting, routing, DHCP, and link aggregation?
If people find this interesting, consider reading the PLA document called 'Unrestriced Warfare'. Pretty terrifying, these measures don't come out of no where.
If China has been "developing and deploying weapons of mass destruction", and has "directly threatened the United States homeland", why is America's response limited to mere financial regulation?
Big fan of SchildiChat on Android! It's Element but with patches to give it extra optional features like chat bubbles and an (experimental) mode which hides 'complex' features nontechnical users might find confusing.
Actually, I do own a MBA/M1 and it is certainly not similar to a Chromebook. (It just happened that the energy management of my old MBA became bricked by an OS update, so I had to jump the train for a first generation device, against all considerations.) Hardware-wise, I'm positively surprised.

Regarding the real issue, Big Sur, it's in its infancy and you can't fall back to OSX, which might be the real show stopper for some. Personally, I've been using Apple systems for 30 years now, and I've always been disappointed by every major revision since Snow Leopard. However, Big Sur, against all odds, isn't actually as bad as I expected (being the zoo of micro modes that it is). Some stability and maintenance issues are to be expected from a brand new OS, and Big Sur isn't the Black Swan invalidating the general advice to never aspire to early adopting an entirely new platform, if your primary goal is stability. I would certainly advice against an upgrade at this early stage for a production machine, if you can do with a previous revision. That said, my personal verdict on Big Sur is still pending. Let's see…

And, I can't see where any of the changes, which are related to the issues listed above, are related to the M1 architecture. Rather, you may point at the T2, which isn't exactly new, but has been gaining some in importance, and the general perspective on OS security, as exhibited by Big Sur.

PS: Some real criticism of the hardware (however, not related to the M1 architecture): Lack of ports (my old MBA had USB on either side and a card reader in about the same form factor!), no MagSafe, somewhat hollow audio (probably related to repurposing the old shell, now using space formerly occupied by fans as overly bass heavy resonance chambers.) An overall more flimsy feel of the shell and keyboard (again, as compared to an older predecessor.)

PPS: This is my 3rd ARM device and it certainly is a game changer.
Maybe I’m missing it, but why is this trending now? The EO was in November
> the idea that Joe Biden is going to suddenly start doing China's bidding is ridiculous

The idea that Biden will take a hard line on China is equally ridiculous. He's been in the federal government since before Mao died. If he was going to take a hard line on China he had decades to do it and never did.
While I appreciate you taking the time to write this note, I don't think I will edit the word.

The fact that it sometimes is being used by racists gives me a little pause (that's basically how semantic shift happens, and there comes a point where the new meaning eclipses the old), but I have never come across it in that context, whereas I see it used in it's original meaning commonly (and in professional contexts).

If someone tries to cast a comment of mine in a technical thread as racist I don't think changing my language is going to help.

Similarly I'm not so invested in my imaginary internet points that being flagged by such a poor future algorithm concerns me. If HN got to that point, I would probably have lost interest in it long before.

I'm here for interesting, technical discussion. Not for the zeitgeist's culture wars that are engulfing all the other platforms. With the exception of recent threads (which considering the tumultuous events that are happening, I understand), I find HN to be a lovely corner of the old web where users try to read each other's content in good faith.

That's not the way this site works. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25723581 for more explanation, and links to tons more explanation.

The way this site works is that you (not you personally, but all of us) need to follow the rules regardless of what other people are doing. Right now you're flagrantly breaking them.

True, but note also the influence of the (eastern) Roman Empire we now call the Byzantines, on the Renaissance, when Constantinople fell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_scholars_in_the_Renaissa...
Most countries have a broadcasting standards authority of some sort. If you claim to be a news channel, then some measure of accuracy is not an unreasonable imposition.

That said, given the increasing irrelevance of broadcast TV, I don't see how removing their licence would achieve much.

Studies that blame a large demographic of malicious behavior is likely to be received with less acceptance than one that does not.

If there were a covid study that said that Americans was more likely to become sick because they don't care enough about they fellow beings to follow recommendation, even with great sample size and statistics, most would look at such conclusion with skepticism.
Ask HN: Why hasn't config as code taken off for developer machines
Configuration as code has been a huge success for managing cloud servers, so I'm wondering why we haven't seen it take off for developer machines. Everywhere I've worked the first few days has been a nightmare of following out of date docs, hitting version conflicts with tools, lots of googling and time wasted. Why isn't there a better way to manage all this? I've worked at large and small companies, and never have had a smooth experience.
Ask HN: Do you keep “gold” advices to yourself or do you share it? and why?
Do you think we'd see a flurry of executive action this month on China policy in the alternate universe where Trump has a second term.

> What is the play with Biden and China?

There's nothing underhanded going on between Biden and China, at least not in my mind. But Biden campaigned on returning to the status quo, meaning little action on China. They're implementing these EOs now because they think he won't undo them, but he won't pass them either if given the choice.
What are the realistic alternatives?
From the title I thought it would be a mod without weapons (or maybe without people).

If anyone truly has a better idea, I'd love to hear it. But first make sure that you've familiarized yourself with the previous explanations and understand the constraints we're subject to. If it's something simple like "just ban politics" or "just allow everything", I've already answered many times why that won't work.

Given that stories with political overlap are inevitably going to appear here, that the site has rules for discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and that the rules don't stop applying just because a topic is politicized, if users break the rules repeatedly and ignore our requests to stop, we ban them. What else would we do?
I live 30ms away from my boss. What do I have to do to get low latency 4k (or 1080 since 4k cams are expensive) conferencing for one on ones? Serious question. This was a problem before wfh and now it's an even bigger issue for me. Id rather work somewhere for half the income where I have to mask up and deal with people if it means I can stop spending hours on terrible video calls every day.
Sure thing, here's a real world application:

Let's say an Amazon warehouse worker speaks with the local newspaper about unsafe work conditions. Amazon decides to fire him for this.

Was this a violation of the first amendment? No.

Was this a violation of the principle of freedom of speech? Maybe.

Saying, "well this wasn't protected by the first amendment, so this is a non-issue" wouldn't be fair. Yes, it's not a first amendment issue, but it's still a freedom of speech issue.

Automation issues may fall into the category of manufacturer/developer negligence; you seem to be suggesting some sort of burden shifting.

When you say that a manufacturer should be held liable if their system '... contributes to a problem...', it seems like you're suggesting adoption of the (notoriously problematic) 'if not but for' test. This sort of test is used in negligence cases, but can be useless, as almost anything satisfies it (i.e. slow service at a coffee shop may have been a necessary condition for the timing of that exact accident).
I haven't seen mention of the memory bandwidth of the M1 before. Why is it so much faster than its contemporaries? Double width data path?

Consider this in context: No ban for fighting the wars in Iraq, Libya, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. No ban for torturing people or extraordinary rendition. No ban for mass illegal spying on Americans and lying about it. No ban for droning wedding parties or hospitals. But if you dare to suggest that a political party, that cheated Bernie Sanders out of the nomination and spent the last four years lying about how Trump, the only living President who hasn't started a new war, was a Russian agent, may have had something to do with a "coup" attempt which could only benefit them politically, then you are too dangerous and must be banned.

We appreciate the prayers (pray), but not the predation (prey). (I have seen the phrase "pray on" used in a religious setting to refer to physically touching someone while praying for them.)
There's a very large pro-money coalition in politics at all moments.
