Funnily enough that’s how everyone views FOSS including us HNers and developers.
Are you a headhunter? And if so, would you put your contact info here? (Don't feel bad. You didn't put yourself forward or advertise. I asked.)

I'm not looking at the moment. But I keep a file of headhunters for when I am looking...
Depends on the fungus. Some are far more picky than others.

Magic mushrooms, in particular, love cow dung as a growing medium.

That being said, fungus tends to be nigh indestructible. The guy boiled it before injection which really speaks to just how hardy those spores can be.
The media has ignored calls for political violence on Twitter all year long. And so, we now have this problem, an obvious double standard.

The left has failed to constrain, condem, or even recognize its extremists. That has emboldened the extremists on the right to act, since they watched the left get away with burning and looting with impunity.

Is it any wonder we ended up here. It's time to punish all who commit political violence.

Instead, we're just getting more partisan BS. That'll work.
I'm personally appalled that instead of leaning hard into a "flipped classroom model" by having kids watch (or read!) lectures on material on their own, and then working in small groups with their teacher, the US public school system has instead doubled-down on just retrofitting the classroom environment into remote hell.

As a developer it's difficult enough trying to remain engaged on any remote meeting with more than 5 participants, I can't fathom how kids behave.

I imagine a huge component is the school-system-as-babysitting dynamic. If kids were left to their own devices to learn without any adult supervision it's possible (likely even) that they'd end up distracted at best, or at rick of causing or experiencing damage to themselves or their environment at worst.

So... I guess I'm not sure what the model ought to be. I'm sure there's some contrast to be found to cultures where there's more live-in family (grandparents, aunts uncles etc.) than you find in American/Western households.
not true with respect to meta data
It doesn't matter if it's not. Security should depend completely on the clients. Public-key crypto allows private communication through insecure channels.
Signal’s claim to fame here is that they were subpoenaed in 2016 and could only supply account creation and last connection times:

> The American Civil Liberties Union announced Tuesday that Open Whisper Systems (OWS), the company behind popular encrypted messaging app Signal, was subpoenaed earlier this year by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia to hand over a slew of information—"subscriber name, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, method of payment"—on two of its users.

> ... “The only information responsive to the subpoena held by OWS is the time of account creation and the date of the last connection to Signal servers,” Kaufman continued, also pointing out that the company did in fact hand over this data.

Well in the case of Telegram, you can trust, that they store your data on their server, because they say so.

And it is convenient, because you can just switch your smartphone and still access all your chathistory, without having to manually backup/restore.

But Telegram in general does not have a business model yet, so just assume, that one day, they want(or have) to cash out.

Signal on the other hand is a non-profit foundation and pretty open on what they are doing. That creates trust for me.
Absolutely this. As a producer as well dropbox means I can work off a laptop as my main machine - albeit a tricked out 15in mbp with 1TB SSD. Selective sync is amazing. The web UI is great for listening to demos and such - I'd love a playlist/play dir feature though.
Then maybe it's just a good idea, like I said.
Yes, but (vs and):

My goober hot take on Boeing is a bit different.

Another victim of financialization.

When McDonald Douglass reverse acquired Boeing, the balance changed. Emphasis on share price, gutting wages while doing stock buybacks, shady business practices (bribes for defense contracts, gutting oversight), and so forth.

Of course, there's always more to the story. Like I have no idea how much to blame Clinton Admin's push for consolidation and monopolies (removing competition). Or how to explain the quixotic quest to outsource and offshore core competencies.

So as casual observer, it seems like Intel similarly lost its way.
Right, it was only a couple of years back we switched from the old test with the little landing pads to the new one that's a tube. I've only had one of the new ones so far.

Also, should have corrected my comment above... it's two year intervals, as you mentioned.

It’s a large group of people. A large group of people all made the business decision that it’s better not to associate with Parler/Trump. That’s not coordinated deplatforming, that’s just a society making a decision.
Correction I installed Opera.

Anyone know why opera can run on android 4 and the latest Chrome can't/wont?
That is so typically Wikipedia. 10,000 word articles on trivial subjects and basically a stub listicle for an article on the longtime CEO of one of the largest (but "uncool") software companies in the world.
The blood should be fairly sterile, so one of the hardest parts is already taken care of.

Sheep and horse blood are used as growth media all the time. Not sure about this fungus though.

Though you’d think the body would be able to fight this off.
Learned this the hard way. Spent the last 7 years grinding text books resulting in a place on a Masters in CS and a ~$200k income while working remotely from the UK (without a degree, at 26). Whole purpose was to earn as much as I could and it took over my life. Now I’m on antidepressants and overweight. Recently quit my uni course and job, and settled for a role around $65k with a New Years resolution to never be a workaholic again. Feeling better already :)
What I mean is originally the hashtag was being used to spread the video. You're right, people took it out of context and started making actual threats. But that's when Twitter removed it all and banned the tag. This seems different from Parler which AWS asserts still hadn't addressed content they had flagged as violations before
what you are threatening isn't caused by people arguing against the "stolen election" narrative.
I think I got a big hung up on the following from Wikipedia:

It says that if the game cannot end in a draw, then one of the two players must have a winning strategy (i.e. force a win).

It made me think it didn't apply in situations where the other player could force a draw.

Reading the linked article[1] though made it more clear what it's about, and I agree with what you said.

> It looks like after Alder Lake in 2H 2021, Intel will be moving to TSMC as its prime partner in mass-producing its next-generation CPU lineup.

Is this as significant as it sounds? IIRC up until this one, all intel CPUs were on their own fab?

One way to measure empirically whether he incited the crowd to violence would be to measure the number of capitol buildings stormed, gallows erected, and police officers killed by that crowd before it dispersed. Perhaps you could compare it to the number of police officers killed by the crowd who attended other mainstream politician’s speeches, such as speeches by Obama, Ted Cruz, or George Bush
I'm not going to argue with you as you seem to have a completely fixed viewpoint, which I am assume no amount of evidence will shake. You can do the research yourself if you are so inclined. You reference the dismissed court cases, as if courts solely prove or disprove the validity of information--regardless, I'll leave you with this:

"Republicans argue that since their observers couldn’t watch the vote count, they can’t provide that evidence and have asked for discovery. Still, while the courts have agreed that irregularities have occurred, they weren’t willing to grant discovery unless Republicans first present enough evidence of fraud to overturn the election. Republicans thus faced a kind of Catch 22."

Yeah, I know someone whose workaholism is caused by abuse experienced during childhood. It's so obvious to me.
Assuming you have:

- read the source code and are satisfied that it's secure

- compiled that version of the code

- installed it on your mobile or desktop

You're still only as secure as the client on the other side of the conversation.

If that one is compromised (has not gone throught the steps above) it could very well be sending all messages in clear text to a malicious party.

Edit: formatting
That's fine, and I get that gnome is a platform. The problem is that they're forcing their platform's choices on every GTK-3 app, which makes it really annoying for people who use GTK (not gnome) apps but which don't like the Gnome platform.

The problem is that GTK was used as a generic toolkit, and they've added a bunch of weird customization's to make it work better with their platform. That fucked over a lot of people who used that toolkit on non-Gnome platforms, and for non-Gnome uses.

Most people using GTK didn't sign up to be part of the gnome platform. Firefox isn't a gnome app. They (and everyone else) assumed it was being developed as a generic and cross-platform gui toolkit. Bit of a bait and switch there.

The tight integration between gnome (the platform) and GTK (the cross-platform GUI toolkit) seems an awful lot like a betrayal, like taking something that was for everyone and well.. taking it. Making it all about themselves, and burning the commons so other people can't use it. Or at least like a heavy-handed attempt to force people to write Gnome apps instead of GTK apps.

Is this right only enforcable in the negative? Are there cases where the government can disagree with business and can instead encourage assembly, or do private ToSes veto that?

Just saw your edit. What regulations aren't authoritarian? I am exploring your use of terms before we end up loading up too much unnecessary meaning.
In our first past the post voting system, the parties will gravitate to positions that roughly 50% of the people have. If there were two candidates that were both ignoring rural areas and were 50/50 with urbanites, it would be only rational for one to try to capture the remaining 17% of people who live in rural areas. That would make it so that the candidate who ignores the rural population would be a sure loser. The only thing that could happen then would be that the other party also fights for the rural vote or that they try to claim a larger share of the urban vote to make up for their disadvantage in rural communities. In either case, votes from the entire country would matter.
Thanks for the feedback. 1. Is indeed a bug, will fix! 2. It does that, right? 3. Not sure if I follow. ATM the tags are in one cell, delimited by spaces.
> But the one tweet is not the issue, they say. It is the one tweet in the context of all his tweets.

And getting all of them is as easy as getting a speech recording, if not easier.

> I found an archive of Trump tweets. It consists of 50000 tweets. Finding tweets in there that somehow confirm the claims that he was calling for violence is more work than just a couple of minutes.

The exact same thing happens if his twitter is unbanned and you go there for context. I'm not seeing the issue.
which I don't think is as concerning, but is there a particular piece of metadata that concerns you?

The thing about the max is the deaths were directly observable and obvious. The problem with Spectre/Meltdown is they might have been exploited for years, leading to wars/economic harm that the general public will never be able to tie back to Intel.

On the balance of probabilities I think the Max debacle ended up doing more harm, but IMO Intel (and AMD/ARM to a lesser extent) did get off easy because of the extremely technical nature of the issue.

Edit: I also agree that the max issue has a much more direct Executive Directive -> Harm line to draw. I don't think the Intel CEO went down to engineering and said anything comparable to "create a new version of a plane that needs no new training while having completely new larger more efficient engines, even if that's physically impossible"
Right, and therein lies the rub. Unless Debian wants to "boil the ocean" and burn a ludicrous amount of effort on repackaging every last npm and pip package for Debian, that position seems unsustainable long-term.

I'm of the opinion that Debian should create more distribution channels (that are available by default) where they are not the maintainers, and old releases are not forced to stay patched in order to remain installable.
M1 is amazing. I think people are also underestimating how fast Intel can catch up.
It is unfortunately extremely common.
They aren't for the customers of SiFive. What is your greater point with this comment? That SiFive isn't Open Source or that they are equivalent to Arm?

This video from SiFive clearly explains the RISC-V ecosystem and how SiFive is involved.

Gelsinger was pushed out as CTO after horribly failing to address AMD's competitive threats. I have no idea how he wormed his way back in, but this does not bode well for Intel's future: Gelsinger is proof of the "Peter Principle", being promoted too high.

EDIT: I was a bit harsh, toned it down.

EDIT 2: This is probably petty, but I can't ignore the fact that there was a significant hubbub at Intel regarding him using the "Dr" prefix. He scrubbed it from his bio and internal pages when it was pointed it out didn't come from an accredited university and that it was honorary. He also caught flak internally for having the pope bless a wafer for Intel's future success. It was very weird, especially given the high percentage of Muslim engineers at Intel, and its focus on neutrality.
Offloading your democratic rights and responsibilities to a corporation will never be a good idea.
I would consider it a non-standard usage of "low cost" to apply it to case of something that provides an important function for 1/1000th of the cost of the product.

In any case, I don't think that's relevant to my point: I specifically said "important for laptops to permit a physical slider to block the integrated camera". That phrasing was deliberate: you don't want to trust the OEM's slider in the first place, just be able to add you own.

So, am I addressing a strawman? What OEM impedes you from adding a slider? Well, actually, Apple says it's not recommended to use a webcam cover because of how they designed it. That is poor design and security practice.

Personally I've found all my workspace learning to be far, far more effective and enjoyable than my school experiences. A lot of it is the 1-on-1 mentoring I get in my work environments, or the much more hands-on learning I can do (writing code or making changes myself). This, combined with a much less intense deadline culture (no exams, no hard assignment deadlines), work has always been a more enjoyable learning environment for me.

I realize I may be in the minority here, but I find it very hard to see how an apprentice-mentor relationship could ever be outstripped by large-scale lecture-audience dynamics in terms of quality. (Excepting, of course, a poor mentor, but that's balanced out by poor instructors anyway.)
Yes, there is some Buddhist-flavoured insight in there.

1) you cannot control the world around you

2) you can only control how you react to the world around you

3) to tie your happiness to things you cannot control is to suffer

Once you internalize this, you will identify attempts to circumvent this truth, and why they are ultimately self-defeating.
Well, seeing as Apple's account balance is finite (there are only so many USD in circulation), seems pretty obvious to me.
Signal and the ACLU sued and were granted permission to release sealed warrant data from a previous law enforcement request for user data.

As of mid-2016, and trusted as much as you feel like trusting something attested in a court of law, Signal stores: a bool (is this phone number a user) and two ints (epoch of signup, epoch of last transmission).

> I don't have much confidence in how to counter it. It feels like a big chunk of our population have got sucked into a cult - how do you deprogram so many people?

Up until this point, I was very much agreeing with his take, but from this point forward it devolves into the usual paternalistic, quietly self-righteous and "subtly" anti free speech narrative this type of articles way too often seem to take.

This was a little sad to read. I used to think that Fowler was one of the smartest people I know about, I've now corrected that to he's one of the most "knowledgeable on software engineering and architecture" people I know about.
For sure. Considering from what depths AMD has managed to recover, people are much too eager to count out Intel.
You were obligated to listen to Trump because he had a YouTube channel?
Would you want the government to force you to host unsavory characters in your home that you disliked?

That is what you are asking the government to force Google to do.

If Google is doing something bad, then customers will switch to Bing or DuckDuckGo or one of many other options. If the government does something bad, you are out of luck. Don't rely on the government or it will become powerful enough to one day take something you love. It's better to rely on the free market to surface the best options.
It makes sense if you look at the founders history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxie_Marlinspike#Biography

He co-founded WhatsApp with Brian Action. They both wanted cash but also felt bad for selling out WhatsApp.

So Moxie founded Signal and Brain contributed. A new clean room project under a non-profit with an endowment. Made as what WhatsApp should of been if they didn't sell out.

And to the commenter below he work for Jack Dorsey as the head of cyber security. And Jack supported this project from the get go. They probably like each other. Go figure.

I think this comment is low effort, malicious, and unreasoned.
The "solution" / service presented by the author would make the problem worse along the lines of the authors argument, that quality is sacrificed for fast article production. Your findings fall apart here.
That's not going to be true of metadata, though. A malicious server could keep a lot of valuable metadata about you.
The open university in the UK was founded in 1969 and has been offering full distance learning degrees ever since in large numbers of subjects. It uses a mix of professionally produced video content (so usually not just a video of a lecturer standing in front of a blackboard), textbooks, in person or remote small group seminars (you used to phone in, now online video chat), forums, chat groups, personal support by email or post (in case you're in prison or living really remotely) and online libraries / inter library loans and occasional residential weekends / weeks.

Mastery is tested in the usual ways, essays, projects and tests, but also "in class" contributions during seminars, which is a good way of motivating people to actually attend and ask questions.

It works really well but it's taken fifty years of practice, experimentation and investment to get there and it involves a lot of contact between tutors and students and as a student you need to be more motivated than attending a bricks and mortar university (I've done both).

The fact of the matter is that most online learning created over the last year is pretty terrible because it's been created on the hoof by teachers with no experience of delivering learning in this way so they've mostly tried to reproduce the classroom but online, which doesn't work.

Most existing online material out there is intended to be supplemental to traditional bricks and mortar learning or used in a "flipped" classroom like Khan Academy where there is still pupil teacher contact, rather than replace it, or is aimed at professional / personal development rather than teaching academic subjects or the core curriculum.

Honestly if you want to improve your kids learning and can afford one get them a tutor who will work with them one to one or in small groups and can identify what the gaps in their knowledge are and ensure they are keeping pace of where they should be curriculum wise so when they do go back to school they won't be behind their peers. Don't expect a magic tech bullet.
Company can exist and provide good services even without being overvalued on a stock market. If there's anything dismaying it's to see how investors can kill good products because they want more.
Signal is actually registered as a non-profit (which means accounting for where the money is going as well), so iOS version is perfectly fine to have "Donate to Signal" link opening in Safari.
Telegram is storing your message content in their cloud for „cloud chats“ (default), as those are not end-to-end encrypted.

Telegram‘s „secret chats“ and signal chats are end-to-end encrypted. The servers still may store metadata, and there is no way to tell if they do than either joining them or let a trusted third party verify that.

To check if e2e encrypted message content cannot be encrypted via backdoors on their servers, you need to ensure they use proven encryption schemes and the client encryption does correspond to those algorithms.

I agree, that the current economic situation is likely much better for almost everyone in China.

I'm not so certain, however, that the previous failures can be directly attributed to central planning?
It seems officials were too afraid to come forward about issues regarding food production, due to repercussions of admitting failure. But this might not be inherent to central planning: the authoritarian nature of the state, punishments for admitting failure and perverse incentives causing officials to report success likely were more direct precursors of this outcome.

I would love to hear other opinions on this.
A huge part of the health care economy is elective procedures which have been severely impacted. This has reduced income for these procedures and hospitals are instead being overloaded with costly but non-lucrative emergency care. A lot of health care staff are being furloughed.

NPR did a piece on it:

Similar story with the ABC in Australia. Also, as a non-profit entity that entirely depends on government funding, the typical staff member is more left wing than the population, and this inevitably skews some of the content.
