They can expect to be fined millions of Euros by a great many European countries if they illegally censor private conversations through their platform, due to European law on the matter.

> Flatpak is the only practical approach to achieve some degree of isolation on Linux today, unless you are willing to go with Qubes OS.

Flatpak tries to solve a problem I don't have. I use the packages from the distro (and you trust the distribution, isn't it?), and it provides any software I need.

So I guess it all depends on your requirements.

also, the US had a major advantage in terms of geography. the country is sided by two major oceans from both sides without any neighbour who could form a threat.

compare this to pre ww1 Europe, which was a tinderbox thanks to multiple empires (with a major history of going to war with each other for resources or people) becoming rapidly industrialised and waiting to get back "their land/people" from a precious war.
Finding accidental and/or malicious information leaks like this is going to be the reality of the next decade or so of open source network service development.

Some will argue that's a reason not to trust open source; but the truth is that leaks and problems are much easier to hide (and thus for organizations to fail to address) in closed source codebases.

This hasn't quite reached public perception for some reason - users don't tend to know that many popular videoconferencing tools and social networks are closed source. But I think it is a reasonably straightforward and useful distinction to explain (without claiming that FLOSS software is perfect, which it isn't).

Investing in detection tools (at both the code level and network level) is probably a good idea - and the same source availability and leak analysis rules apply to them to (perhaps moreso).
> Also accounts for money if they offer this kind of security

This is something that astonishes me. So many financial institutions still have:

- (low) max length limits on passwords

- restrictions like no special chars in passwords, or exactly this many numbers etc

- over reliance on a pin where a password would be more suitable

- no 2fa, or at best SMS based 2fa

- ridiculous security questions as if someone's favourite colour etc is drawn from a large pool of values

As a developer I can guess that most of these restrictions are probably stemmed from a mountain of tech debt, but I would've expected this to be a priority for such companies. It makes me wonder if they are bound to follow some outdated regulations or something preventing them from doing better

I don't think it's fair to criticise someone else for taking the time to engage with you in discussion on the internet.

OP wasn't rejecting the basic philosophical underpinnings of the Librem project, but merely noted the inconsistency with which they applied those principles.

Librem could have developed a pure FOSS machine if they'd chosen to do so. However, it'd have a RISK-V based chip and a bunch of other exotic components that would have rendered impractical for regular use.

Instead, Librem took the pragmatic route and chose to adopt a number of proprietary components including an Intel CPU. Despite this, they chose to bypass Intel when choosing a WiFi chip at the cost of being unable to support modern WiFi standards.

It doesn't really make a lot of sense.

But as for my 2 cents: most of the startups you're reading about were created 3-5 years ago when Node was peaking. I think it's still a popular choice for new startups but maybe not as much as it was a couple of years ago (you now also have Go, Elixir, Deno and all the boring tech like Python/Java/.net). That's what happens with a lot of tech, it has a crazy hype cycle, it peaks and then it stagnates or declines.
What I like about the pressure cooker is that I make stock as and when I need it. Do I need stock for dinner tonight? Just put on as much as I need of exactly the stock I want an hour or two before, and done.
This is not a bad question, but it is one that keeps getting asked on this topic. I really think standards like WebAuthn should more explicitly provide an appendix about account recovery, even if that is out of scope of the technical standard.

As others have pointed out, account recovery should always be provided in some form. A common way seems to be the use of a one-time password that can be used to regain access.

What I'd really like is a clear best practice for this for developers to implement though. It doesn't help if your authentication method is strong when the recovery option has glaring security holes in it. It now looks like every site that uses WebAuthn just rolls its own recovery solution.

Pretty uncontroversial. It's clearly failed as a currency, and is more of a collectible for speculative investment. It may one day become functional currency, but it certainly isn't today.
That being said, even with the accidents, nuclear is cleaner and safer than something like coal or gas. I wouldn't be surprised if the same weren't true megawatt per megawatt for a solar cell with a 25 year life. More advanced facilities like Ivanpah rely on natural gas, presumably because batteries that could store power generated on site for this purpose are too costly, and I have no idea of Ivanpah's other consumables and their external costs to the environment.

I feel like the reputation with nuclear power is a lot like the reputation with airline crashes: very few and far between events that are emblazoned in the public eye with the media spectacle. You have people today who have anxiety about flying, and no issues taking an uber to the airport for this reason, despite you being much more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash. People don't understand nuclear power that well, nor do they understand what risk means statistically, so they lean into what they've heard or sentiment among their peers which comes from media coverage designed to engage viewers rather than dry research papers.

While I somewhat agree to your point, I think it would be naive to think that any other colony will be different than what is going on the Earth itself. It's like moving goalposts instead of solving the issues.

Doesn't matter how many priors you have. Even here in Norway - where you're barely allowed to look at a gun - if some random person points an AK47 at you, then you're allowed to defend yourself with a "reasonable response". Tell me, what do you consider a "reasonable response" to being threatened with an AK47? Yeah, that's what I thought!

Hell, it doesn't even matter if you're in a car or not. Or would you be ok with someone randomly pointing an AK47 at you? Would you refrain from using deadly force against someone like that, just because you had priors?

From one of the papers

> Recent observations have been made of the loss of Mars’s atmosphere to space by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission probe and the Mars Express spacecraft, along with analyses of the abundance of carbon-bearing minerals and the occurrence of CO2 in polar ice from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Mars Odyssey spacecraft. These results suggest that there is not enough CO2 remaining on Mars to provide significant greenhouse warming were the gas to be emplaced into the atmosphere; in addition, most of the CO2 gas in these reservoirs is not accessible and thus cannot be readily mobilized. As a result, we conclude that terraforming Mars is not possible using present-day technology.

It is stored locally (encrypted) and then synced when a connection is available.

Personally, I write enough notes on my phone in situations without an internet connection (airplane travel, subway commuting etc) that losing local storage would be a deal-breaker for me.
like u said notes are really personal. I personally prefer paper the most, but if its about electronic notes, I settled with a folder that gets synced with syncthing to all devices and also got git for easy offsite backups with push. (yeah, syncthing does that too, but I like to have a history in my backups, to allow for single file and state restores)

In this folder I categorise with subfolders and use simple markdown files to write down stuff and todo.txt for when I need tasklists. A dedicated file in root is used for collecting random stuff before there get sorted and another to collect all links that I wanna bookmark.

This works very well on different types of devices at the same time. On android Markor is a good editor for it, on desktop/macs I recommend typora for the nice interface and obsidian.md for the nice navigation between files, if you don't have already have setup a favourite editor. Also works well with vim/emacs/vscode or anything else that handles plain text files.

I have a 5 year subscription but I'm not sure if I would recommend SN to others. They're vision is secure, encrypted notes. User interface and editing experience is unfortunately not part of that vision.

Rather than giving users over a dozen editors, some maintained by the SN folks, some merely integrated, I'd prefer a single, opinionated and robust editor.

You often can't easily go from one editor to another. Some of them have bugs or are just a bit annoying to use.

All my SN notes are therefore plaintext.

I honestly think all note taking solutions out there kinda suck. You always end up sacrificing something. Often that's seamless cross device sync and security. Sometimes it's editor features. Google Keep for example is great for what it tries to achieve but it's just too limited for serious note taking in my opinion.

> you can reinitialize your Nano S as a new U2F device

According to the yubico explanation linked from article, U2F includes cloning protection (an authentication counter, which the site should check has increased vs. its last known value), so that might not actually work if the site you are authenticating against is well-implemented (Unless the Nano S also lets you back up the counter value).

Damn that's dystopian:

> A Citizens' Council of seven members, similar to a Board of Directors, will be popularly elected. The Citizens Council does not, however, manage day to day operations of the Colony. That task is left to a governor, who is appointed by the Council for a single, non-renewable six year term.

So a weak elected legeslative body and a strong indirectly elected executive with very few checks on their power.

> Under the Code, living and working in the Mars Colony is a privilege, not a right. All those who come to the Mars Colony will be permitted to stay under a license. That license is revocable. Similarly, all real property is held by the Mars Colony and leased to individuals or companies working in the Colony. Misbehavior results in losing the right to remain within the Colony.

Fun.

If you lose your license do you get a berth on the next shuttle or are you exposed to the elements?

This sounds less like the best laws and more like some of the more dystopian laws. Its basically a company town where you are not allowed to own property, don't have rights and are exiled if you step out of line.

Luckily the whole thing is bullshit. Nobody is on mars yet and nobody has adopted this. Easy to make laws when you don't yet have power.
