> "As for arrogance, I think "live and let live" is the least arrogant political philosophy one can hold, and that's the defining ethos of libertarianism. I think that lack of pretence/arrogance in this ethos is what draws people to libertarianism.

Any non-libertarian political persuasion will advocate for all manner of government measures that use force against peaceful people to force compliance with a larger social plan."

If you were talking about the original socialist libertarianism, then you would have had a point.

Unfortunately libertarianism today is more of a "live and let die"-type ideology, where those who cannot support themselves must fail, as they provide "no value". It is social darwinism writ large.

Regulations exist for a reason and the effects of gutting for instance the EPA has massive consequences, irreparable damage to the environment and to people's health. Or do you think the people in Flint, Michigan should just move somewhere else?

We absolutely cannot trust powerful people and corporations to do the right thing, since they do not feel the consequences themselves and thus actively do not care, because that would eat into their profits.

Voluntarism doesn't work, for that exact reason. Hence why regulations and laws are needed.
top 10 unknown fact about startup
4chan is one of those websites I've always wished I could get into, but is too chaotic and difficult to navigate that I stumble out every time. But the few times I've been there, I've been surprised by the quality of some of the posts.

People ("normies") generally associate anonymity with the worst of humanity (G.I.F.T. and all that), but if you're willing to wade through that there's also the best of humanity in there. People sharing immensely personal things they wouldn't have been willing to share anywhere else, writing down deep thoughts that they might have been too shy to post under their real (or real-associated) name, unfiltered advice that cuts through bullshit because they don't have to worry about their image. The lows are really low (and I don't wish to understate this part), but the highs are also pretty high.
This is the combination of things that originally led to my loving TagSpaces. I wanted local files that I could edit, have folders of varying file types, and include documents in the folders, opening as needed. Part of the issue was that I then wanted to link to, and from varying files... basically a knowledge base that was independent on data types.

Turns out that image capture, and document sync was the least of my problems. The mind maps, image data not being OCRed, and other things became a pain.
That's literally the point of this article:

There's no inherent reason to have an identity separate from the one the site you're joining grants you.

I'd guess that site is leveraging the effort which webmail providers spend to weed out bots and sock-puppets. And perhaps they use the address for adtech purposes. But I don't know for sure.

I'd love to hear from such sites about how they use customer email. If it's not primarily for communication, it may not make sense to accommodate it in TMTP.

Thanks for responding. I should have mentioned I've been a user of andOTP for a few years so that's why I brought the comparison up. I wish more projects (including Aegis) mentioned what distinguishes themselves from very similar options.

I think the fact that Aegis allows you to import from a number of other authenticators, notably proprietary ones, is an important feature in getting people to move over to an open source equivalent, which is something I respect.

One minor correction to what you said though - andOTP doesn't relock every time you switch apps. I tried this just now to verify this.

Devs complain about XCode, but the libraries/frameworks are great. Publishing to the app store is pretty easy, and there are hundreds of millions of potential customers, which are there because the curation of the app store is good (enough).

> It's difficult to say, as the French government [0], German armed forces [1]

I'd say those don't really count here because they run their own closed groups. Even if they technically could federate with everybody else, I don't think they do. I guess they are even heavily firewalled. And they don't care having to run beefy servers, they have budget for that.

I've seen this a lot, where people are convinced big Oh is specifically meant for worst cases performance.

And there may be some logic behind it, because if some function is in Θ(n^3) in the worst case, then it is true that it is in O(n^3) in all cases, so maybe that is why they couple big Oh with worst case growth.

that's all client side stuff and you can do all of it as of today on top of email. first part of the protocol is to know which user sent you markdown before, so you can send markdown to them. for user that you don't know if they have a markdown clent, your own client send a multipart with markdown and the local markdown representation as html, so you have a two-in-one discovery/fallback mechanism

while the first one might be beneficial as you give more control from the sysad and into the user hand for point 1.5, the second part is a problem we already had and we already solved with the transition from text email to html email and it was never a protocol issue to begin with, so I don't understand why it has been rolled in here for more effort and little effective gains.
You're not just talking online games, you're talking enormous-world MMOs, and that's such a far cry from the areas that I have worked with and thought about how to work with in any detail that I can't usefully add anything.

If you're trying to manage the concurrent state of 10s of thousands of players in a game, all server-side, and you want specific actors to handle that single player and you don't want a globally persistent state, then I suppose this makes sense.

I've never worked with anything of that scale though.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not here to say Iran are a nice country and we should all drink tea together. I'm just saying, Iran are winning.

So we either need to drive them back. And that means a huge military operation lasting decades, costing trillions and with a lot of troop deaths. It will make Iraq look like a picnic. The USA will probably need to reintroduce the draft. The Europeans will want no part of it. And it will have to last 100 years.

Or we sit down and negotiate: stop fucking with Iraqs oil and we will let you sell yours too. Drop the nuclear program and you can access western markets instead (they already went for this). Stop pushing Hezbollah and we will guarantee your safety.

I don't think we have the stomach for the first option. So we negotiate it we lose.

Tencent QQ reads users’ Chrome browsing history in the background

Translation of the tech analysis (modified to < 2000 chars)

There was a post on v2ex saying (Tencent) QQ reads user’s Chrome browsing history, and was blocked and discovered by user-defined security rules.
I started a VM, installed QQ, Chrome, opened Process Monitor. Here are the rules I set. QQ was found to be reading “AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\History” exactly 10 minutes after login.

Usually, “AppData\Local**\User Data\Default\History” are the default browsing history location for Chrome-like browsers.

QQ reads “User Data\Default\History” from various directories, copy it to temphis.db. Read database with SQLite, then “select url from urls”. I double confirmed this with Process Monitor.

Pretty sure that every good writer can make it, though. Perhaps the mediocre writers have an advantage if they have relations. No doubt a lot of awfully bad books are being published every year, and some even are successful.

I used to think about this, "only people with relations can make it". When I got older I realized that if you care about some subject, you will probably end up making relevant connections on the way.

And I also think this way of thinking about privilege is self-defeating. If you don't have "privilege X", find another way.

Some writers now got rich without ever having an agent, self-publishing.

I'm sure people will find some other alleged privilege they had, which allowed them to do that. That's not the point.

If you are dead poor and have no connections whatsoever, you have the "privilege" to write authentically about being poor.
You can (sort of, with a great deal of effort) but you don't.

And there is no effective way to prevent phishing in SMTP/etc if the server accepts connections from the public Internet.

If you didn't, I suggest reading the protocol draft and "Why TMTP?"

> What about the end user who paid good money to own a computer and run whatever he wants on it?

You paid good money to Apple. You didn't pay good money to the app developer.

iOS app prices are ridiculously low because of the crap store "race to the bottom", which fortunately didn't affect the Mac as much. This is one big reason why Things for iOS is so cheap: the market demands it, not because it's magically cheaper for a dev to make an iOS app. If you take away the Mac-level prices for Mac apps, developers like Cultured Code might go out of business, and then you won't get either version of the app.

If Mac app prices start to go as low as iOS app prices, you're going to see almost all developers completely abandon writing native Mac apps, and then Macs might as well just run iOS instead. To forestall that possibility, Mac devs might abandon their much cheaper (or even free) iOS versions to avoid getting undercut by their own products.

Paying money to Apple for a Mac doesn't automatically license you to use third-party apps. That's not how it works legally.

I would say one of the most important things they need to compete with WhatsApp is a better desktop client. WhatsApp's client is great because it works in the browser and is a joy to use.

Density is one factor but the complete separation of commercial and residential zoning is also a huge factor.

In a lot of walkable cities the first floor of most buildings is often reserved for low impact commercial uses like shops or restaurants.

I am in a car dependent city (I need the car to go to work) but the fact that there are 3 stores in walking distance helps cut down on the voluntary car trips significantly. Even the weekly trip to a far away store takes 10 minutes at most by car.

It's a nice theory but sometimes simpler, less glamorous solutions might hold the truth.

There are more than 6 "sisters" visible with the naked eye, but most people normally can't see them.

It's more believable to me that the "missing" 7th sister is just the brightest of the less visible ones.

Those less visible would certainly have been used as a test of prowess for determining the keenest-eyed, especially among early societies where such skills were important.

I guess part of the problem was that I started with a Web client and later moved to my own element client installation.

The element client looked easier to use, although it still remained unclear to me what exactly is the secret key, what is stored locally inside the client (and not available once I switch clients or machines), what is in the server and what I have as a backup.

If I with some practical cryptography experience cannot understand the usage in 1 hour (and I was searching around for more than an hour in various sources) it's not ready for widespread use by people who have no idea what they are doing.
My experience is the scene used SFV (which is CRC32 and ptovides no redundancy) and Usenet used PAR(2). Together with a fill server (block account of X TB), it aids against bitrot.

I more and more get a feeling that the server is a reference implementation but not the thing they run in production.

OTOH due to end to end encryption all the fancy features are implemented client-side so the server is very simple in scope. So maybe it's really feature-complete.
Again, you don't live in that world. The writer and his audience did. If you can't meet it halfway, or at least allow for it, you're going to miss everything... and that's your fault, not the author's. It doesn't matter at all how it reads with a thoroughly modern mind.
Long pressing is the equivalent of a right-click or shift-click, it's a well-established pattern. MacOS tried to avoid right-clicks for the longest time, but often there's just not enough space to have every feature discoverable by visuals alone.

Of course, hiding everything behind that is not good, but when I look at apps like FairMail that try to show you what you can do directly, it just gets very confusing and the space left for the actual content becomes miniscule.
