WTF Happens to Psychological Safety When the Pressure Is On?
I believe this flaw was closed last year. Google no longer allows web auth inside app-controlled browsers. If an app can inject JS, Google won't let you log in from it on mobile.

It led to outcry from people who have custom compiled browser builds that were also caught up in the restrictions.

It's a complex problem. Supply and demand works in some housing markets and not others. Some markets are non-competitive so supply and demand doesn't quite work. This is not because land is a limited resource, but travel times to work are a limited resource. Land use is limited to a number of minutes from where jobs are. Before cars became common commute times were the same length as they are today, but people lived much closer to where they worked.

In housing markets where there is a lack of competition this allows land lords to raise prices as much as they want, up to a point, as long as tenants can pay. Because it's an inelastic good, people have to pay or be homeless, so they'll pay up to how much they make.

China is a good example of this. It has some of the highest rent prices in the world with people crammed into these coffin sized living conditions, so China has strongly stimulated building development. This has let to handfuls of ghost cities with no one living in them, and yet rent prices continue to increase beyond just about anywhere else in the world.

Singapore is a good example as well. It's a country with limited land and a high population. The government there builds condos with a locked rate, so the average citizen can afford it. The government effectively becomes their land lord. "Buying" land there is renting, and the condos are quite nice. They have the resources to do this, it limits land prices, the people benefit from it, the government benefits from it. I'm not saying this is how other countries should do this, just that it makes a good use case to show an example of what reduces land prices and an example of what increases it.

One such solution I am unfamiliar if any country in the world does, is build more Ivy / high end business universities. The largest reason someone chooses to start a business in an area is because their social network is there. They get this network at a university. By building education up in a better way, more cities will form around those universities. We could get more cities with businesses, instead of people fighting over the few options in the US, despite all of the land we have.

Another such solution is limiting business in an area. If the number of workers in an area are limited, around those businesses house and rent prices become competitive and supply and demand starts working. Business that want to expand or new businesses would have to move to another area. (Of course, this solution is not without its faults.)

The European solution is two fold: 1) mixed zoning, so businesses are more inner-twinned with residential reducing commute times increasing the ability for supply and demand to work. 2) limit building size to regulate the residential to business employee ratio, which allows supply and demand to start working. We can see today that this works and works well.

> exercises restraint on its immense natural power

I would have agreed with you provided it was the Government that had to do the banning first and took it's time and exercised restraint.

This is different. Big Tech cut off US Government communication lines from the rest of the World. Now we will never know what Trump is thinking except if he does a press conference. We will never know what the White House is doing. This causes major network effects across the World as people across the World want to know what is going on in the White House and what is on Trump's mind. Before internet and social media all communications were between the World leaders/bureaucrats and the rest of the World was pretty much oblivious to what was happening unless it became breaking news. Everything was opaque. That is not what I want to go back to. Trust me you don't want to wake up one day to learn your country is at War with another nation because everything was kept under wraps till the last minute. If you had known earlier you would have rallied the masses and built public pressure.

It is a public expectation to know what their leaders are upto. I want our leaders to be in the spotlight at all times. Trump is not just the President of USA, he is also a representative of USA to the rest of the World. Cutting off Trump's direct lines of communication cuts off feeds to the rest of the World about what is going on in his mind and the White House. This does not bode well for America as a responsible Democratic power. You do not cut off the lines to the Head of the Country with the World. No matter how much you disagree with him. This is irresponsible with Big Tech allowing it and US Congress keeping mum about it.

Whenever I read about stuff like that, it reminds me that a simulation would probably have some kind of 'lazy calculation' mechanism that only calculates something when it is actually needed. It makes no sense to simulate every particle in the universe if not every particle is actually observed.

But if people do indeed notice such a glitch in reality, maybe there is a way to exploit it? How can it be determined whether something is observed?
Ironically I saw that dedicated, talented people who toil away for open source were being abused so badly that they left. I decided to put my head above the parapet and do something I don't like to do: preach. Figured I'd get some people shoot me down or start mouthing off at me but I manned up and posted it anyway.
The 503s are a part of the game, similar to when you try to go to your favorite spots but they're closed because of covid.
For me, $100 annual fees is also an issue. It's just an unnecessary and useless burden for not just open source softwares, but commercial wares too. Moreover, why should Apple get a monopoly on this - non-profits like EFF or the FSF should be allowed to do something similar, or even other corporates. Isn't that what we do currently with browsers and certificates?

Would you want to be forced to do business with someone you didn't want to work with? Why try to force a tech company to do it then?

Tech companies are private enterprises just like a bar. And just like a bar can refuse service to anyone outside of a small set of protected classes. If you get kicked out of one bar, just go to another or start your own.

I didn't know about WireGuard before the initial post on HN, since then it's replaced my OpenVPN solution to access things on my home network stuck behind a 5G mobile CGNAT (no wired service available)

I haven't had any issues with the Mac app, but for where the app may be lacking because of the circus that is developing with Apples frameworks and app store it makes up in being absolutely amazing behind the scenes.

All the other solutions I've tried have taken weeks of learning and tweaking configs. Had the entire WireGuard solution going end to end in a few hours.

It's super simple, lightweight, reliable and easy to understand.

It's a shame Apples app store policies and being forced to work with buggy frameworks is holding back developers abilities to write first class native software for MacOS.

> so many properties in major cities are purchased by foreign investors and left empty

This is a bit of a popular myth. Vancouver is the only city i know of where it even approaches being significant. Try to dig up some statistics on empty properties for some cities that matter to you and you'll see.
It's not so binary though. If "perfect" takes 3 years, and "mad-max" takes 6 months, how good and maintainable a product can you muster in 9-12 months?

There is non-linearity here where you beat the "6 month" competitor the following year, because their product is buggy as hell and unmaintainable, but you keep cranking out solid features on your maintainable codebase/infra.
It seem like this is a form of layered defence. Android FDE should take care of this use case, but if there is some widespread flaw in Android disk encryption then this would be another layer that attackers would have to penetrate.
I’d say with 95% certainty that Google and Facebook will be subject to anti-trust legislation by 2025.
TV News channels kept on aggressively fact checking Trump, I just don't know if it had any impact on the real danger of people believing his lies.

These moves would eventually lower trust in Big Tech among conservatives to a point that more conspiracy theories will rise.

This makes methink we are about to see a Golden Age of conspiracy theories. Something that makes 'Q Annon' stuff look like peer reviewed paper in science.

Well there’s a difference to using a well known idiom within the privacy of your own home, and inciting a crowd of thousands of fired up supporters to storm a government building in an attempt to disrupt the democratic process.

But regardless you probably should unplug your google home or whatever other smart devices that listen all the time if you are concerned about privacy
Maybe this is a ploy, maybe the tech companies want to be publishers and 230 to be changed. They have already invested the huge sums to set up a moderation infrastructure.

Then they won't have to worry about up-starts because they will first have to deal with the huge burden of creating a expensive content moderation system.

VC decks will have a section on content moderation plan. How they will solve this.

To me this seems like the tech companies are lobbying for regulation.
Nothing quite so democratic as deplatforming people. The Ancient Greeks would be proud of our new developments. I'm sure Plato's Republic simply overlooked the shortcut where the easiest way to win debates is to simply prevent your opponent from speaking.
I think a problem is the social integration of sites like Github (I assume you have your project there). Traditionally low-effort questions were filtered out because many users didn't want to get into the trouble of contacting developers directly. Although it wasn't unheard of, but there was probably significantly less noise.
"because they simply fizzle out, like a fire that consumed all of the underbrush"

That depends on consequences.

For example, if there are jobs that depend on continuation of social phenomena, their holders will fight tooth and nail not to let this happen.

Universities now have special administrators dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion. These are someone's livelihoods and also sources of power. Will the incumbents simply say "there is no more interest in identity politics, our task is done, we made ourselves redundant"?

No. As long as they are paid to promote, say, inclusion, they will always push the idea that more must be done.
I have a PC that I'm using as a NAS with a NextCloud instance. For the storage I'm using a ZFS pool made of two HDDs in mirror mode (but since I'm using a Linux distro, if I would have done it today I would have used BTRFS due to it's better support on Linux. I'm still with ZFS because that pool is a leftover of a previous attempt at storing my photo archive). I have yet to configure an offsite backup, which is crucial in this scenario since putting everything on a NAS makes it a single point of failure
That one's easy, Apple is not yet mandatory.
FWIW in the projects I've involved in we do get macOS-specific requests and reports from time to time but I have yet to see a macOS dev step up and contribute.

There is lots of cross-platform software, which works on Linux, Windows and even BSDs; you can't expect (or feel entitled for) open source maintainers to then also go ahead and buy expensive Apple hardware just to support their idiosyncratic almost-BSD-but-not-really-UNIX OS.
Is that where they go through a "digital transformation", fire existing IT staff, and try and rebuild all their software? I've been in a few projects like that (as consultant), I have no faith that those were successful in the long run because the consultants were all high-flying ambitious characters who don't like to be in the same spot for too long (max 3 years, but often the restlessness starts after 6-12 months already)
> important government figures are mentioning secret galactic federations

One retired Israeli government employee said something about a "galactic federation[0]." Surreptitously making it plural makes it seem as if the entire UN security council was having secret meetings about it.

I don’t understand this new fascination with gutting 230. 230 protects the speech of the users, since the platform isn’t held responsible for what they say. Make YouTube liable for its users content, and now the whole system is moderated to remove any polarizing content. This means politicians like Trump will NEVER have a platform for their message. Why would they intentionally vote to de-amplify their own voices?
> especially since they have basically been printing money for over ~10 years now and have no excuses to not improve these kinds of things.

Apple can't hire enough devs.

I told an SWE friend of mine at Apple that I wouldn't mind working there - then he explained to me how restrictive it is to work at Apple (e.g. you have to close your GitHub account, you can't do any moonlighting or FOSS contributions: even on your own time, on your own hardware, while on vacation) - I can't work at a place that wants to exert that much control over my personal life. I get that secrecy is part of being an Apple, but it feels the same as how I thought it'd be cool to work for the FBI's infosec team before I learned that they have mandatory regular drug-testing even for employees in states where cannabis is legal.
I was the original architect (but no longer maintain) a fairly ambitious FOSS project that is the worldwide standard for a very particular demographic.

That demographic is notorious for a propensity to be “not nice.”

I kept it going for a decade, sometimes receiving rather...strident...”feedback.” I was called a tyrant (and worse) for refusing to deviate from its Core Mission, in order to make it easier for certain individuals to use in narrow contexts (that type of request is quite common, if you manage a general-purpose infrastructure project).

I learned (slowly) to be polite and respectful in my responses, even when approached in an abusive manner. The times I “hit back” (I’m good at that) were quite self-destructive, and did not do the project any favors.

My tyranny paid off, but it took a while. The project has been handed over to a team of really sharp folks that will, hopefully, never have to deal with the kind of crap I put up with. They will get a great deal of positive feedback, and very little of the asinine, juvenile garbage I got. That makes me happy. They don’t deserve it, and I’m grateful they took it over, making it much better than I ever could.

It was worth it. If I had to do it all over again, I would (but I’m glad I don’t have to). I’m a tough, stubborn old coot that can take it, and I knew what I was getting into, when I started (I’m quite familiar with the demographic). Even so, there were a number of times I wanted to bin the project and walk away. I’m glad I didn’t (and there’s many thousands of people that are glad I didn’t, but don’t know it).

Sometimes, we do stuff for reasons other than money, property, and prestige.
It's amusing to see a (valid, IMO) security issue with Google being continuously flagged as clickbait because of how the article is written.
> If you’re writing new apps, I don’t see why you would want to add another abstraction layer

I can see the usefulness in basing your app on FS and other POSIXly primitives (as opposed to the "cloud-native" storage du jour) if you want your app to continue to be usable on the largest class of machines and scenarios including local deployment under traditional Unix site autonomy assumptions. The general purpose being portability, need for on-premise deployment, (very) long-term viability, developer experience, accountability, integration with legacy software and permission infrastructure, use of existing upload/download or VCS software, straightforward file or metadata exchange, forensic or academic transparency, and avoidance of lock-in.

Download WhatsApp Amar 2021
Because modern social networks are a defacto way people assemble. They are not just any company.
I wonder how many privacy policy changes Google got away with by discretely sending emails over the years and/or showing popups with overwhelming text that no one would bother reading and click Agree because they simply wanted to get something else done immediately (like read emails or use navigation).

In a way, the current hysteria is a lesson in the power of defaults [0]. If the default for an app/service was private and secure and later you make the "mistake" of clearly articulating that you're going to be less private... it is going to end up a PR disaster. But... if you confuse masses along the way with large privacy policies (or other such dark patterns), you may get away with it as has happened many times in the past (Windows 10 being a recent example).

That's the reason Facebook and others are opposed to Apple because Apple's stance on being private by default will hurt them: Any data hungry app / service is going to have a hard time if it needs to show notices in plain language asking permissions to harness PII [1].

In a nutshell, what we are seeing with WhatsApp is may be why Google will never default to private with Android. Whilst Google may throw the technological kitchen sink at the privacy problem; at its core, it remains a design problem: How much do you respect your user's Right to Privacy by choosing the right defaults from the get-go, how simple do you design your UX around it?

Despite Apple's own privacy issues, you can't fault them for seeing a pretty good first solution to all of this: A 3-line popup.

A password reset doesn't go unnoticed. A fake OAuth login very much can. I would be very surprised if no OAuth provider ever did that.
China is becoming a horrifying totalitarian state that uses tech to crush opposition. I am afraid that the advances in weaponry and surveillance have rendered a revolution by the oppressed impossible. It was difficult for freedom to be established against tyranny in bygone centuries; even the US required the intervention of France and Spain to win its freedom. Now, it will be only maybe doable with outside help... But with the rising populist and nationalist tides, this is unlikely.
I don't know what to call it but some kind of training course, a spec or some other conditioning seems needed to get the best out of email. If the participants know 10 basic things like how and where to insert their responses and do not add 100 graphical signatures to each mail it gets 1000 times more wonderful and enjoyable. Long form doesn't become all that desirable that way. (It seems forums played a major role teaching how to quote to and gmail did a good job making it impossible.) Even on HN we rarely see quotation go on for more than one level.
