That’s is because the electric company are monopolies created by the government. And unlike power utilities there are zero laws about which cloud provider you are forced to used.

Parler is not some rube. They are a company with access to legal counsel. They agreed to moderate their end users in accordance with Amazon’s content policy and chose not to. They made extremely stupid decisions they do not deserve to be coddled for.
From the app developer's perspective, you can hardly spin a terminal command as any more onerous than a registry edit on Windows.

Windows 10 SmartScreen is just as deliberate and just as scary.
I disagree, I don't really want the signing key to be $0.99 and someone just making 100+ developer accounts that can't be tracked with some leaked list of SSNs or similar. That would negate the whole point of the signing key for the end user almost entirely.
It's also scary that, as a participant to this market struggle for dominance, Facebook has tools at its disposal to severely restrict the growth of its competition by declaring them a harmful meme. They have publicly declared their ability and process for reducing distribution on such "viral" memes after earlier incidents where the spread of misinformation through chain/group forwards led to violence.[1a][1b] [edit] Here's a more relevant link about the implied distribution controls: [1c] Since this effort launched in 2018, the definition of the content that can be restricted has morphed to include "Fake news" and "Rumors" in addition to pure violence alone.

Facebook owned companies have a long history of distrust from the Indian public and this has played out at least one earlier time with Facebooks attempt at a free internet in India, being labelled the equivalent of the British empires attempt at colonization [2]

The narrative in India (Or other parts of the world where i have large teams who have a casual enough relationship with me to talk about these issues) isn't presently helped by the happenings in the US where large US tech companies have effectively levied sanctions against entities with political affiliation to one political movement.

This is anecdotal, but i'm hearing a lot of "What happens if they decide tomorrow that we don't fit their values?" ; There's also an ongoing financial dispute that has prompted Google to block Australian news sites [3] and the forums there are split between the two sides and how this diminishes independence of media thanks to unparalleled market power of tech companies.

How much of that $100mm came out of your pocket?

Have you got links to any complaints about how OWS is being run by the people donating money to them? (At least for non-troll sized donations. Sending them $5 by PayPal then claiming the right to define and prioritise their roadmap doesn't count.)

I'm not sure you are displaying "reasonable expectations" here, nor that your opinion on how much they should have "to show" carries much weight.

As always, you're welcome to 100% of your money back on your purchase of Signal and it's services if you don't like the product.

Those are useful and beautiful, but they are particular cases of "command lines", aren't they? A bit limited, in that they are only useful for developing on that IDE, and not as a general interface for your computer, but useful command lines nonetheless. I thought you were opposed to command lines.

SOrry what the fuck is wrong with you, no, idea why you try to thinly veil your dog whistling, are you trying to imply that not liking to bend over for silicon valley is a sign of liking the ku kux klan. Are you actually comparing or trying to make a cokmparison between lynching and not liking the coordinated power of a few companies?
What is like wrong with you?
I am latino no idea why you even suggest that, but we have legal means to stop powerful corporations from destroying political activists and smaller companies in a day. We should expand those protections to avoid seeing what we have seen. A coordinated attack on political activists and free speech alternatives. If that makes you think about nooses, then perhaps you should read things properly, and maybe get some help.

Net neutrality is a foreign concept in my land (am in East Africa). There are strong laws governing usage/misuse of internet by users but none on how ISPs can or cannot promote specific (legal) content/services.

Come to think of it. Facebook zero (0.facebook.com) offering users free access to FB was also a thing
almost a decade ago and still is a thing today i.e Facebook usage that doesn't count against your data plan.

I presume this to be a commercial deal between Facebook and the carriers here. Given how popular Facebook, and more so, WhatsApp is here.

I guess this just proves my point? Because of the electoral college Californian republicans are just pissing into the wind. In a national popular vote, it would be counted the same as a Wyoming republican or California democrat’s vote.

As it is, however, you can ignore California’s population entirely and focus on flipping half of the population of all the rural states, where their votes count for more and you have a lower minimum investment to get any return.

Because Apple, alongside Google and Microsoft platforms, provide a whole stack experience in tooling and SDKs, instead of endless configurations of home made distributions, and people on those platforms usually pay for their apps, even when taking piracy into account.
Absolutely.

We put out traps for the pack rats that invade our house from time to time. This summer, one of the traps unfortunately caught a snake - nothing dangerous to humans but big enough to have been a useful predator for other pests.

I had to fight my since-childhood fear of snakes to go out and set it free. The snake wasn't exactly wild about my attempts to open the trap with a shovel, but eventually it got the idea, slowly slithered out of the trap and scuttled away. I don't love having them around, but I felt good about having (hopefully) saved the life of an animal that almost certainly does the humans who live around here more good than bad.
S3 can be cheaper
Apple didn't give a reasonable timeframe to respond, but that is typical for them. The 7 weeks Amazon gave absolutely is reasonable: if this was a priority for Parler they could have put some effective measure in place.
No, normally refactoring is applied on the AST, which is then matched back to the source. The source is raw text, you can't refactor raw text directly - you need the AST to do any kind of meaningful refactoring (you often need more than the AST to do interesting refactoring).
Most of the casting in Java 1.4 was from collections of Object. In Go the collections are typed, so the casting is confined to some very specialized pieces of code.
Remember that a network filesystem, can't really be faster than the network latency. If you are not in the same rack with your filesystem server, you can expect a few milliseconds of network latency. So a network filesystem that has a scalable design and is POSIX compatible, being in the same latency ballpark with the network sounds quite nice actually.

Anyone know how this works? If everything that Facebook claims in that newspaper advertisement is true, then Facebook has

- paid $19 billion to buy whatsapp

- Removed whatsapp’s subscription model and given it away for free

- Has been paying the bills for the infrastructure and maintenance costs of a massively popular service

- Paid for a full page advertisement in newspapers with claims that whatsapp data will not be monetized like the other Facebook services

This makes zero sense to me. Everything about whatsapp looks like an expense to Facebook. Can someone more knowledgeable please help make sense of this situation?

This is interesting, thanks for posting it.

On the one hand, there is nothing on a technical level that Signal can do beyond what they’ve already done (linked in the twitter thread, set a flag that the installed keyboard may or may not respect). Anything beyond this is venturing into providing a general computer security 101 course and/or telling you how your mobile OS permissions work and/or region-specific opsec advice. I’m not sure they’re equipped to do that or if they are even the right people to do that. They are a small team and they most definitely do not have somebody embedded in activism of any kind in the sinosphere, which I think is what it would take for them to actually responsibly give region specific opsec advice.

On the other hand, I think it may be quite reasonable for them to say, very clearly, “use your system IME to input text”. It’s a very simple guideline with reasoning that I think can be understood easily by most people. They have a privacy/security section in the FAQ on their site; something like this could go there.

But of course if they did that, they would have to keep managing expectations around how much to delve into the security model of every platform they run on, and how many resources they can reasonably dedicate to usage scenario support. Their mission and product and user requirements are really unique; I’d love to be a fly on the wall of a signal product management meeting lol

I’m basic and use my iOS system IME to text in chinese, but also I’m a basic overseas chinese. Maybe I’ll have to survey my friends and family for what keyboard they use...
Here you go[1].

The audacity of that email was that it made accessing "need-to-know" documents internally (!!!) a fireable offense.

In a kafkaesque move, "need-to-know" was not determined by labeling or access restrictions. Therefore, you can't know you are accessing a "need-to-know" document until you do.

In short, this made using internal search engine fireable. It made clicking any link on the mail list fireable.

That was a year and a half ago.

> So basically, on android, while your data doesn't go to Facebook anymore, as far as I can tell it still goes to Google via the keyboard app. Doesn't it?

The answer is to use a keyboard that doesn't have internet permission. It's not the chat app's worry to force their keyboard on users, in my opinion.

>Libel, slander, and "yelling fire" are sufficient limits on free speech.

>fine trusted news organizations spreading misinformation

How do these two statements go together at all? The government fining news organizations for reporting what it decides is misinformation seems like a huge overreach even to me, and I'm more on the pro-censorship side.
“WhatsApp does not share contacts with Facebook or anyone else”
Is that true? Or just evil wordplay? I thought they were interested in WhatsApp’s metadata all along..?
> The slippery slope argument is generally regarded as a logical fallacy because the argument can be applied to anything.

Can you expand on this? I've seen the claim several times, but given the fact that (in general, not referring to covid) it is possible to point to historical examples of how things progress from A->B->C, and then you can identify a sequence of A->B currently, it becomes almost silly not to conclude the goal is C. So why is demonstrating history repeating itself a fallacy?

Granted I've placed a number of conditions there. Maybe that's what you mean. I'm just curious what the general argument is.

> What interest would the U.S. have in requiring Flu or HIV tests for travel?

Humans unfortunately have a bias for "doing something" rather than nothing, even if the two actions are equivalent in consequence (which favors doing nothing - less energy).

Scream loud enough and we'll create problems where there weren't any. I mean that's basically what network news does all day every day. Then we'll respond to those problems, and create more problems. Etc. "It worked for covid, why aren't we doing it for the flu?" Even if the argument isn't valid, it sounds good, and politicians like things that sound good even if they don't do anything, creating problems and great expense for people for little to no actual gain.
I feel for the foreign (non USA) countries that are subject to this kind of gaslighting from Big Tech. At least in the United States, we can proposition our own politicians to reign in the excesses of Big Tech in our own country.

Foreign countries have no real alternative: there is no way to lobby Big Tech for change. They have no real voice far away in Washington DC.

In some cases they can just block some site or app and insist people use the locally developed alternative, but this isn't really all that effective. Usually the local alternative has some deficiencies, and it doesn't always work: look at the way Russia failed to block Telegram a few years ago.
Glad to find out they notarized this. It isn't a .app though, which I think several in the thread are hoping to distribute outside the app store without making it difficult/spooky for the end user.

If they notarized your prefpane/daemon combo, I suspect they would notarize quite a few .app applications that are properly signed and not malicious or frowned upon use cases.

For some of us, "the organization controlling the central infrastructure" is _way_ more trustworthy to not start "acting poorly" than any of the alternatives.

For me, Apple comes a close second maybe, but lack of interoperability between iMessage and Android makes it a non starter amongst my friends/family. Even assuming some self-hosted version of an E2EE messaging service exists and I could convince enough of my family/friends to use it, I then become "the organization controlling the central infrastructure" who risks "acting poorly" due to incompetence or lack of resources to keep that self hoisted infrastructure running and secured.

Signal is not perfect. I don't agree with all of Moxie's choices (I'd strongly prefer it not to need to be linked to a real world phone number) and I strongly disagree with some of his choices (I get angry every time a "$name (someone in my contact list) has just joined Signal" notification arrives.

But it's better than the alternatives for me. And for enough of my friends/family that it's my most commonly used comms channel outside work.

Fortunately, Plaid doesn’t sell your transaction history, so this isn’t a concern.
A functioning democratic government is accountable to its people, while a private corporation is only accountable to its shareholders. Depending what you believe politically either, none or both could be true. Ultimately free markets can work against societal good just as much as an overly stringent and unaccountable government.

Maximally accountable government and a moderately and fairly regulated market seems to be best of both worlds, but as we know it’s difficult. We’re looking at the extremes now in terms of speech - Parler has people literally planning attacks on the government in the open, that’s probably bad in terms of societal good.

Finally a reminder that the ultimate point of corporations existing is for societal good. As is our government.
There are better tools for the job now. This is basically a misuse of a service instead of using things that are purpose built.

I deeply believe that if Windows NT had a proper POSIX support, instead the half heart attempts Microsoft was doing, around 1996 no one would have bothered to install Linux.

I had access to Windows NT and ended up getting my first distribution via the Linux Unleashed book, because I needed something at home to save the trips to campus to work on our DG/UX timesharing environment.

If the POSIX subsystem was up to it, I wouldn't need to look elsewhere.
Maybe, there should be a Kickstarter for GitHub issues to prioritize them. You can prioritize them by money put in, and whoever wants their feature IMMEDIATELY, puts their money on it so, necessary resources can get allocated, and the rest can shut up about something not being done.

This is a weakness of having Elon Musk as the head of both SpaceX/Starlink and Tesla.

Starlink will 100% play China's rules (and Russia's), not only to sell service there which will be precisely Geo-fenced with all traffic in China sent to Ground stations in China.

But also because if they don't then China/Russia will retaliate against Tesla and any other businesses Elon has that they can exert influence on. So any dreams of Starlink being a panacea of worldwide open internet access need to stop, it will not happen.
VR would be nice
I think the major problem is latency. Try sshfs (fs over ssh) and see what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I use and like sshfs for a quick data transfer, but it's just not good enough to run your application with.

For a stable POSIX filesystem in production latency is key. Often times in a datacenter 10GE is recommended for network storage solutions, not because of bandwidth (which is also important), but for the 10x reduced latency of a 10GE NIC. Most applications simply expect response times of microseconds or a few milliseconds at most from a POSIX Filesystem, they simply cannot run (without modifying the codebase) on something much slower.

But if you had to rewrite your application anyways, then you might want to use plain S3 without the FS, that is easier to operate in the long run.

Created one endpoint in a C# .Net Core API? API programming check.

So our company hired some of these full stack freelancers. While the code "works", it is not anywhere in a acceptable performance range and full of bugs. A SQL server job that runs two hours to create some 1000 simple new datarows is just not okay.

But for the business end, server job performance is not a value they can "feel" unless there is some UI connected to it.

The point I want to make that it's a potentially harmful game in the long term for any company that reads the skillsets of a developer without ever asking 1 or two questions.

I'm up to 50 or 60 new Signal contacts since WhatsApp announced their latest privacy policy updates.
