I find those discussions around how secure this app is or not is pretty funny.

The answer is: It's not. Not for any kind of end device attack. You are literally typing a note into a text field provided by the OS.
You are reading it in an app through the OS rendering system.

It is in clear-text in memory several times.

There's no privacy on the internet. There's only hurdles of maybe increasing difficulty, but the decision to use a cloud-based note-taking app should be around the actual important features.

Yes, I still want apps I'm using to follow best practices with encryption for data in transfer and at rest, but can't be the main trick.
I would end homelessness in the Western world. Sure, there are bigger problems especially in the less developed parts of the planet but other people have been trying to fix those for decades.

I am accepting that there are some things that x amount of money will not fix and simply targeting a problem where x amount of money and the right leadership can develop a model for ending homelessness that can be easily replicated elsewhere.

The answer would not be simple but employing lots of useless people, in the name of charity (as is the current 'solution') is one model I wouldn't be implementing.

Lots of love here for lichess, and it's well deserved. My son got into chess over a year ago, but when lockdown came I signed him up to Chess Kids, which is pretty good for children who are learning. However, he quickly migrated to lichess, and we've not looked back. It's been an absolute lifesaver during lockdown for my 8 year old son, he learnt an incredible amount from the site. Great tutorials, great puzzles, plus he gets to see some of his chess heroes like Carlson play live. It's a fantastic community. Plus, my son was able to learn pretty much everything, including how to write his own tutorials and how to analyse games, on his own without my assistance, which just demonstrates how good and intuitive the UI is.

And I admire what they're trying to do with this laptop. Being a start-up small hardware manufacturer in the same ecosystem with 500 pound behemoths like Microsoft selling Surface Books, and Dells and such, is a really hard position to be in.

But I also believe that on the x86-64 platform, hardware will either stand on its own merits or it won't. There's no glossing over that some components on this thing are really not a good value for the money.
Interesting talk. I should say although hardware keys are effective, websites often fall back to SMS if that’s not available, essentially defeating the purpose of hardware key.

You‘re right, it‘s insane what Laravel‘s ecosystem has to offer out of the box. However, most of these features save you lots of development time AND are free to use. What makes me unhappy here is that a company and its employees benefit from these ‚free‘ features and at the same time they don‘t condescend to mention it in their portfolio or even job listing because it‘s not cool enough.
Sadly one of the best methods is to go to a headhunter.

Last time I seriously looked, I had the similar problem. If I had one interview per 50 resumes I would be surprised. That said I had one occasion where the HR person from a company called me, 'I found your resume on xyxxy, you would be perfect for this job'. I responded, 'I agree that is why I applied for the job'. Never a follow up. The HR person was looking to 'FIND' someone, not follow up on someone who had already applied.

Several times when I have run into this, I find recruiters somehow are able to convince companies to hire people they normally would not on their own.

Recruiters will get your resume past the 'AI resume analysis machine' which will filter out most people.

I do not like recruiters, because most, not all, do not have the morals I would expect.

Are they really a technological leap like radio, transistors, automobiles, even smartphones? I wouldn't put them in the same category. I'd put them right there next to the walkman.

Cryptocurrency (or more specifically, cryptographically enforced consensus networks) are way more of a technological leap than voice interfaces connected to the internet. If there's a top invention of the 2010s, it's bitcoin.
I think it's more odd that sports teams are treated as they are and that fandom isn't redirected at orgs/people making a real difference like Moderna or SpaceX.

WHAT WE WANT CRYPTO & CURRENCY FOR:

1) Currency w/o a government

2) Stable/reliable for contracts

3) Inflation indexed store of value -- basket of items representative for me.

4) Rapid transactions

Can we do it?

#BTC failed to be currency, open-Ponzi speculative game. A currency must earn interest: currencies weren't born from govt design but from commercial credit. A deflationary currency blocks borrowing. #BTC is just an open Ponzi scheme: money made by someone is taken from someone else.

Stephen Diehl explains it better: Because on top of the zero-sum mechanics, if it siphons wealth off to insiders then the pool to pay out returns shrinks. What @nntaleb said is right, it's economically equivalent to an open Ponzi scheme.
Supply is only half the inflation calculation, the other half is velocity. That's why the increase in the M2 supply doesn't translate to what you're paying at the grocery store. You've missed half the equation. [1]

Apollo 11'S “1202 Alarm” Explained
Yes, you are not seeing the point because you are missing it. This laptop is in a niche that's obviously not yours.

Offering as much freedom as possible comes at a price. A price paid in money, in one-generation-older hardware of some components, and in making compromises that some components are not as free as they ideally would be, but which don't have alternatives.

You don't fit that niche, apparently, but just don't go buy it then. Instead of ranting, go buy an overpriced macbook and leave other people to their own choices.

As comparison, it's like saying that current EVs are not totally carbon-neutral, too slow and too expensive so you don't see the point and keep buying cars with ICEs. You are free to have that opinion, but it's not the only one around.

SQLCipher encrypts the WAL.[1]

Have a few old IBM Thinkpads around the house (courteous of the parents) with 4:3. First things I ever tried Linux on. They’re nice, but they add some depth to the machine that I’m not the biggest fan of (tends to make the device a square). Obviously there are other factors at play, such as the dimensions of the screen in relation to other models choosing different resolution ratios.

Been around a few Surface models, and the 3:2 is pretty nice. I chose to stick with the traditional 16:9 FHD resolution width marker as it’s arguably the most common width for online content in the consumer video space, most common display width, and makes downscaling from 16:9 UDH rather easy. I’d rather have some extra horizontal padding than have the video "squished" or "stretched"(not literally) to fit the display appropriately as it won’t be 1:1 pixels.

Of course, you can always go the Apple/Microsoft way and choose a non-preexisting 16:9 based resolution. But as one who has previously dealt with a lot of video work, I much prefer getting those 1:1 visuals, no resizing needed. Personal preference, and yes, no such display exists to my knowledge in a consumer device. Most people don’t notice or care about this specific topic.

I hate targeted ads as much as anyone, and I don't buy the ad tech bs that they are vital to human survival, but I think the GP is a bit naive to think that ads have no effect on them.

There's long-standing research that people unconsciously prefer familiar things, so exposure to ads is enough even if you don't remember it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere-exposure_effect

Of course if you would have never ever bought something, an ad is unlikely to make you change your mind. Same if you do thorough research on what to buy, you're probably not swayed by familiarity. But claiming that they have no effect is a bit naive.

EDIT: I guess GP never claimed that they have no effect, but what I'm trying to say is that ads probably have a bigger effect in people in general, and even to you personally whoever is reading this, than you'd think. Targeted ads though? I hope we can live without them.

I don’t get why people get so up in arms over splitting out parts from products. Would they rather the price be bumped $49 and the charger come included and people who already have one buy a pointless charger? If you don’t have one then you just factor the cost in to the purchase and if you do have one it comes out cheaper.
I think a huge fact is simply the massive population and tax base. A lot of academic research is funded by the federal government. Most countries simply do not have the population or means to afford such a wide variety of directed research programs as the NSF, NIH, DOE, NOAA, USDA, etc., not to mention research grants from defense agencies. Academics from other countries regularly move their careers here to get research funding, we don't even produce enough local talent for some fields to meet the need for research.
Well, if you look at all these technologies, they didn't revolutionize when they were created, they took a long time and revolutionized when they matured. Radio exists prior to the 30s but it was experimental and niche, same with networking and computers. I think that the space decade is going to be this one. The last one, the revolutionary things that took hold were social media and cryptocurrency. Social media is shaping up to be a big disappointment, at least in it's current iteration.

GP's concern is a very valid one. The identity of developers and their location makes an absolutely crucial difference for a project that roots itself in the crypto tech. Being wishy-washy with this info is exceptionally unhelpful as it is damaging.

In this case, the actual company can be from an origin (or a country) that would make you think twice before even installing it, leave alone letting it touch any of your data. Them being vague here adds more questions than it answers.

"Kathryn Montgomery, senior strategist at the US digital rights group Center for Digital Democracy, said: "Facebook claims that creating an Instagram for kids will help keep them safe on the platform.

"But the company's real goal is to expand its lucrative and highly profitable Instagram franchise to an even younger demographic, introducing children to a powerful commercialised social media environment that poses serious threats to their privacy, health and wellbeing."

Of course, we're hearing the usual platitudes about how they'll make it safe and how it's a good thing and so on. Why the heck should we trust a single word that comes from Facebook?

Correct. Blockchain is only able to extend its guarantees to concepts wholly encapsulated by the blockchain. That's the reason only "currencies" have been successful thus far. The boundary between the blockchain and the real world is not a surmountable one - not with the guarantees of the blockchain anyways. And once you get rid of the guarantees it's just a slow, inefficient database.

This is why, try as people might (in over a decade) they have yet to achieve literally anything that isn't a currency with it.
