I agree on threatening (which is usually about violence), but I reserve the right to berate and shame them if they’re privileged enough to be having a cushy position and great pay (and not some janitor or security guard from an outsourcing company).

There is always a ladder of morality and ethics. Facebook now stands close to the bottom rung among tech companies.
Why a fork? Why not a pull request?
> the least controversial

except for the timing (immediately post-Georgia runoff), the sudden reversal in policy, the possible appearance of collusion or antitrust violation (something else the courts will likely decide), Amazon's responses to similar speech on other hosted customer sites, and of course, what's actually written in the contract between the two companies. Not saying Parler has a valid case, but there are plenty of issues to sort through, it's not as cut-and-dry as you seem to think.

One of the complaints argues "...requires AWS to provide Parler with a thirty-day notice before terminating service". There may be exclusions or other terms which override the 30-days, if so, surely that will come out during discovery or via Amazon's response.
Will this be end-to-end-encrypted?
Do take into account that there are places where infrastructure is designed primarily around cars. This means a.o. that wherever you want to go, there'll be pretty good parking really close by.
Combine that with a lack of proper bike infrastructure. No bike racks anywhere in sight, so you have to dump your bike on the pavement, hoping nobody will give it a shove because it's in their way. No bike lanes, or if there are, they have angles and corners that are not realistic to take on a bike. Corners that have you swerving into the opposite lane if you take them at anything above 15 km/h.

In those situations taking the car for short distances becomes the convenient, fast and safe thing to do.

P.S. from your name I suspect you're Dutch. In that case you don't even have to go far to find that sort of situation. I live in Belgium, which is generally considered to be a rather bike friendly country. I beg to differ. Everything I describe above applies, at least in a region of a few kilometers around my house. I can only assume it also applies elsewhere in Belgium.
Personally I find the LS interface way too complex and intimidating (and I say this as a long time macOS / iOS developer).

Lulu has a quirky interface, but it's much clearer. Of course it also helps that it's free and open source.
Regarding Matrix+Mumble, here was my plea: https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/1813#issuecomme...

Currently, I am envisioning posting `mumble:` links in matrix channels, maybe pinning the message, together with a bit more info in custom events.

If a Matrix client doesn't integrate mumble client functionality, you could still click on links. If it does, there could be some further integration with authentication.

I find it annoying that the health care system seems uninterested in feedback. It's just treatments per hour it seems, but does it work or not? Who cares. (I'm in western/northern Europe)
Recent example: switched to smart bulbs, not only to save power but to make sure the light is dimmed on nightly toilet walks

I was thinking more of INTEGRITY OS and similar high integrity computing OSes.
That is not factual. You still can see how they bypass some content, so it's really biased content policing. I don't like that. They're not applying the same rules and claiming they're doing the effort and Parler or other aren't is not a good argument.
Well, I appreciate the response. I'm not saying that the difference is huge, just that I've noticed it. The Americans I've worked with seem to get a little bit more done, generally speaking, than the Canadians. Not enough to make up for the difference, but still. And of course we're talking about distributions of productivity here. One of the fastest developers I've ever worked with was French Canadian.

I know Americans that worry about healthcare costs even if they have healthcare insurance, but now that I think of it, very few are from California so perhaps the laws or norms are different there.

Also, the big companies in the Bay Area aren't really what I'm talking about. Google tried to recruit me almost a decade ago and I turned them down. I don't want to be a cog in a machine that big. I'm comparing your typical 50 person startup to a typical 50 person startup in Canada. The salaries are about the same, but in their respective currencies. I could make $200k USD in America or I could make $200 CAD in Toronto. Shrug.

Thanks for the response.
Perhaps, but the last time I checked you needed around 60% of the population to be immune in order to halt the pandemic, so I'm not sure if 60% is good enough in this case.
To people that invest into the cloud ecosystems, do you not use one of those agnostic frameworks (educate me) so you can easily drop your stack onto azure or anywhere else?

What if you want to shift it all off the cloud, can you still mimic the infrastructure on a vps? I thought that’s what stuff like serverless allowed?

Feels like this something we should be able to do, no? All this talk about WASM to make portable code, but Parler cannot even just move their shit to another server?

There has to be a abstract layer that lets you leverage anything with a unified api across aws/google/azure/etc. Why in god’s name are we directly tying our shit to one provider?
Must admit to being disappointed with recent Ubiquiti developments. The requirement to 'Sync Local Admin with Ubiquiti SSO' for controller authentication is not great.

At least as far as I can tell, this means your local controller account requires an internet connection to reach your UI.com account, so there is no local isolation of administrative accounts anymore.
Is remote possible until post COVID ? If so, would remote outside US be feasible ?
I'm glad to see this playing out, not because of the people involved, but because of the issues at stake.

Never before in history has a small cabal of companies welded such power over what we can say and who we're able to associate with. In one concerted ban action, you can be cut off from most of your friends and the ability to express yourself in any forums that have more than a tiny reach. After being banned from the big three, you are now excluded from pretty much everything your friends do and say, and your chances in any political field are essentially zero. You even lose the ability to use many services that require the big three for authentication or verification.

Could you imagine the telephone company shutting off someone's phone service over something they said or who they associated with? Unthinkable. And yet here we are with the modern equivalent.

These companies have subsumed a not insignificant amount of power that was until now only within the purview of governments, with that power presumably subject to the will of the people and democratic ideals of free speech. You still weren't allowed to incite violence with your speech, for example, but investigation of that kind of behavior was the job of the police, and punishment the job of the justice system. And the bar was pretty high before censoring someone, as it should be in a non-totalitarian state.

These lawsuits need to happen because we NEED to delineate where responsibilities lay in terms of protecting our rights as free citizens. And that always starts with the most despised of society because they're almost always the ones to trigger these questions.

Generally you maybe don't want to include mailchimp's MX's in your SPF for your main corp domain, it's common to send such things either from a delegated (in dns terms) subdomain (e.g: mailings.ui.com which mailchimp can then manage the spf/dkim/etc records for) or more simply by just using one of your other domains..

a bug like this suggest that Google services infrastructure isn't based on identity propagation, and instead services have full access to other services, and access control and authorization checks are performed in the client service.
Agreed, that'd be interesting
I'd imagine the case will be flimsy for the very reasons you bring up, but may be well-lawyered if Parler's funders (Mercers) have something out for Amazon.

I'd much prefer important questions in society be brought up by the right people for the right reasons.
In the Netherlands you learn the traffic rules (at school) when you're 10/11 years old. There is a little exam even. It's normal children start cycling unattended from that point.
However, children have been cycling attended since... when they are big enough to operate a bike that goes fast enough to do so (so say, from 5 years old.) Ergo they probably already know, in practice, how to operate safely in traffic.

When my parents caught me cycling home unattended during the longer school lunch breaks, and I confessed I've been doing that for most of the school year, they were like: "oh. Guess you know how to do that safely then. Carry on." I think I was 9 at that point. (It was a very safe route, which is common for Dutch home-primary school situations.)
If chronic Lyme illness is caused by lingering bacteria hidding in the body's tissues, the real way to eliminate any doubts about alternate causes is precisely to get a Lyme vaccine. Then, if the symptoms persist, we could easily deduce that the cause is other.

Except that one thing... the chronic Lyme could very well caused by an autoimmune side-effect (this is among the most serious explanations), in which case I don't think the vaccine would help.
> How you've described the social sciences being mudded with politics is the same in large parts of STEM

Sure, as anything else. And I've explicitly stated that this is not the point.

The point is that politics leads to bad science in former case and good (relatively and for the most part) science in case of STEM, exactly like politics leads to great judicial system in US and terrible judicial system in Russia.

Because politics could lead to great checks and balances and good incentives, or it could lead to cronyism, corruption and regulatory capture, based on how the institution is constructed/designed, and its relations with other institutions.
Did you somehow miss the May 30-31 attacks on the White House?

Quoting from the Secret Service press release:

"Some demonstrators repeatedly attempted to knock over security barriers, and vandalized six Secret Service vehicles. Between Friday night and Sunday morning, more than 60 Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers and Special Agents sustained multiple injuries from projectiles such as bricks, rocks, bottles, fireworks and other items. Secret Service personnel were also directly physically assaulted as they were kicked, punched, and exposed to bodily fluids. A total of 11 injured employees were transported to a local hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries.”

And yet they managed to control the scene with no injuries to rioters and only one arrest.
How do you know they didn't? Is it because you could read a post and wasn't banned in time? That happens all the time in Twitter. In addition, you can read old tweets who are the same.
Exactly. As someone from Europe I shiver at the thought of trump leaving the presidency. Biden will restart the wars and flood Europe with economic migra... I mean refugees once again.
I really hope you realize how the history books will record this if this all goes South. You're cheering on big tech's unchecked power to destroy a business it doesn't like in < 24 hours.

My prediction is this will only radicalise people further by giving them a persecution complex.
It's $0.11 per device. If the change was merged with another batch of changes, it would be just the $0.07 for switch + assembly.
My use case is I don't necessarily trust one end of the connection to behave, so I want the ability to just give/take power and involve exactly 0 software. I understand that's not the usual consumer story, and the best argument I can come up with for the general case is it could make any USB compatible wall plug safe to use to charge up.
Zuckerberg was famously calling Twitter's decision to narrate Trump tweets with factcheck warnings 'wrong' just some months ago. It's little do do with geography, and everything to do with their former position becoming politically untenable.
"...you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don't want anybody hurt."

Sounds consistent. Peaceful protest, yes. Violence, destruction of property, no.
Robot vacuum cleaner. Brought revolution to our lives. Since we got it, we forgot where our regular vacuum cleaner is.
Especially since dust bothers me - I set it up to clean while I'm not in (for example, every day at 10am, when we're at work), and voila! Or when you're not at home for a couple of days, you just trigger it an hour before getting home, and you get a clean apartment when you're home.

So, you get more time because you don't have to vacuum yourself and it does it while you're not in, so the whole process is seamless.
Doesn't it make more sense to have a WhatsApp backup file to Signal backup file converter rather than forking the whole app.

This fork would end up being a significant maintenance overhead for something that could be done more simply.
Just like for jQuery, it seems people have forgotten the original reason for which it was created: the IPCC exists to provide to policymakers the scientific evidence of climate change with ironclad credibility, and do this in a context where climate change denial was becoming republican policy.

As a result of the review process that ensures all credible criticism is heard it makes very conservative predictions, but at least you have to either accept them as conservative or just outright deny reality.
Yeah he violated the law and the few months offered in the plea deal isn't that long but the fact that you can be blackmailed/threatened into basically being forced to take them and giving up your rights in court or get fucked otherwise is a travesty of the American justice system.

If the proper fitting punishment for his crime was 4 months or 6 months or what have you like that should be the kind of punishment that's on the table and expected during a fair trial. Not something that's achieved outside of court trough deals.
Looking from the outside in from a western European country it's hard to see why this is such ingrained concept in the US.
> That last 10% matters. I absolutely need split windows, and being able to switch what is in the sub-panes easily. That's what require nesting.

That could be solved by not relying on tmux for splitting, but on a terminal that has that feature, one ssh+tmux connection by panel.

In any case, it seems that you have put a lot of thinking about this, and probably already considered this solution.

I've been in the situation of trying to make my workflow perfectly fit in my new software/os/laptop/etc and not being able to make it work 100%. It's... sometimes exhausting. Nowadays I take another approach: make it fit well enough.
Can Lulu block both outgoing and incoming, like Little Snitch?
"Actually, Facebook and Twitter, just like Google et al, are the product of intelligence agencies."

Only "product of" expression may be questionable. Probably much effective to infiltrate big companies after take off.

But, may anyone reasonably assume that centralized data has any protection against intelligence agencies at the end of the day?
Doesn't make sense to me. Twitter&FB have more users but they also have much more resources than Parler.
I might have the wrong impression but Signal has always seemed to me to be uninterested in user requests. They are privicy first & user experience second.

There have been lots of Signal forks with a variety of features the official client refuses to add or merge.
Google BLM activist capitol hill his mugshot is there. He claims he was an independent journalist but are we just taking peoples word at face value now?

Wow. Within minutes my comment was flagged for simply reporting what I read from mainstream media.

I get that HN has a strong political bias but outright censorship of facts that threatens your narrative only hurts the rest of us with centrist views.

I want Trump gone too, but we cannot get swept up by emotions because it has no place in the judicial system, or at least if shouldn't but that may be a tall order.
> Mind you nothing of that ends up with the dealers.

Not true, the very expensive bikes definitely have better margins.
And why is this "natural"? I find the collapse to be the strangest axiom, the rest I can handle.

No, it's not. It only means that with these given numbers it is impossible to reach herd immunity.
Note that this is only for chat functionality, not voice transmission.
A lot of people are bringing up points about how big FB and Twitter is and they inevitably have bad content... so...

Let's take into account that parler (and other platforms) caused 1 night of rioting.

Facebook caused GENOCIDE - the active killing of a population.
You have the idea, it's not my job to give you proof, you can think for yourself and see it. Sounds like you blame someone else instead of owning your choice to believe or not. Trying to dismiss the idea as false without criticizing it, or giving evidence that counters it, is self-deception. You can simply choose to disbelieve without pretending it's unbelievable. That's what I suggest you do, because it seems like a hard idea for you to consider, and I don't want it to be hard for you. Have a good day!
As an English speaker, my only interpretation was that you were an academic frustrated about academia.
I would think so, yes. Maybe they are trying to prevent problems with users logging in from computers using different code pages? Is that still a problem?
I'm going to put this down for myself as a historical marker. A marker for what, i don't know exactly... but it seems noteworthy.
And this is why I use Telegram, for them UX matters.

Yes MTProto is not audited blah blah. I use IRC too and that has exactly butkus for encryption :D
They argue they moderate as much as needed (in their opinion). So they say, why twitter is OK? It becomes discriminating incident and not just "Per Policy" incident
You got the point, if it was fake the title would very very likely be different.
America's misplaced pride might get in the way of some things, sure. But that's just dancing around the root cause: most Americans value low taxes above good infrastructure
Ask HN: Online Classes vs. Computer Addiction?
How are you dealing with the trouble of computers that kids need for online classes being used as a distraction from schoolwork or even sleep?

I'm facing a diverse computing environment here with diverse access needs. The main trouble is on Chromebooks, but Windows and Ubuntu and Android are also in the mix. Students need to access school web sites which include links to book publishers and YouTube. There might be math videos on YouTube, but everything else is far more interesting. Video games get to be an enormous problem. Just having web access is enough to support a game addiction. Even something like Khan Academy or Scratch becomes a gaming platform, because programming is available and people have written games there.

Right now I'm relying on time-intensive and error-prone supervision. The computer is unlocked, observed while in use, and then locked. It's miserable for everybody. If the parent looks away, the gaming begins. Forgetting to lock the computer means that it will get used all night long, leaving the kid sleepy for the next day.

I'm curious about this, as it's one of 3 kexts that I get warned about support being withdrawn in a future version of macOS (UAD being one of the others, I forget the 3rd).

I could probably live without LS, but the UAD support being withdrawn is quite concerning given the level of investment I have there.
That’s essentially what this is. You install it to migrate, then you remove it again and install the original Signal app, as per the steps in the repo.

I would guess it was easier (or even only possible) this way.
Has UI gone downhill ? or is it just because of all the negative feedback ?

Data leaks happen! It shouldn't but that's just how the world is. UI has been honest about it, and informed every customer as a precaution. (I assume they're still investigating).

I can't be sure, but since UniFi Video went offline at the same time the breach was announced, a week earlier than it was scheduled to, that might have been the entry point.

In any case, the UDM (despite all the negative talk) is a fine machine, and does what it promises to do. If you want similar performance you're either looking at building something yourself, or paying twice of what you paid for a firewall appliance. The Netgate SG-3100 has less performance at twice the cost.

You need a UI account to set it up, but that doesn't mean you have to allow managing it from the cloud. Disable the cloud controller access and any access to your firewall configuration will have to happen from your local network. I'm unsure if you can disable the UI account, but i have a spare UDM sitting around so i will test it.
