> It does also defeat the point. That may not be a compelling argument if you don't know what the point is, but there is one.

In fairness, the article itself as well as the Eruv article on Wikipedia linked here both make it seem that the whole point is to enact a kind of escape hatch to a rule that was found to be too strict to be workable in practice.

For example, Wikipedia:

> What constitutes a "public area" is debated. The strict opinion holds that any road more than 16 cubits wide is a public domain, while the lenient opinion holds that a public domain must have both 16 cubits of width and 600,000 people passing through the road on a single day. In practice, communities that build eruvin accept the lenient opinion.

In other words, it's only with the most lenient interpretation of the laws that this kind of escape hatch is even possible somewhere like Manhattan, and possibly not even there.

A typical American feeling is that rules are either important and should be upheld, or unimportant (or bad) and should be gotten rid of. The perspective behind eruvin seems (edit: based on the Wikipedia article, see replies) to hold that rules are important only in their most direct and legalistic version, and even then only to the extent that you can't weasel your way out of them. If that's the case, it's hard to say what's in principle wrong with the idea of a tiny eruv that the whole world is "inside", other than tradition.
Just consider the batting average for the mass of people who predicted over the decades that technology X or technology Y would never be affordable.
This is false. They don't allow using the Signal name in third party client names. But third party clients are absolutely possible. The first one that comes to mind is Pidgin on the Punkt phone.

There really isn’t enough of an atmosphere to present a risk of blowing Ingenuity away, or even toppling it over - same thing with depositing enough material to bury it. More likely it could be covered in a thin film of dust that would render the solar panel nearly useless, like what happened to Opportunity.

Man I miss those days.

I've still got an N770, N810, 3x N900s and an N950 developer device that I run battery maintenance on every 4 or 5 months.

Had a Pre 2, and still have an HP Veer. Making modifications to the system to customize or change things was so easy and straight forward, I really miss this; though building LineageOS / AOSP for supported devices kinda fills this niche for me now.
You must not have exprienced modern vehicles. My 2013 Chysler Pacifica's factory headunit occasionally stops kicking the watchdog timer and gets rebooted. When that happens, the radio is still playing and can't be switched off or volume adjusted until the thing is done booting.

So no, you can't switch it off at any time.
>main factor is luck

Luck is not a factor here, in that you have no control over it. This conversation is about what factors you can control are the most important. Which ones reduce the amount of Luck you need.

No one is saying you can reduce Luck out of the equation, but choosing the right Time to be in the right Market seems to matter more than anything else.
This strikes me as (yet another) instance of 'if you can't make it work, the business shouldn't exist.' If the business model really depends on the ability to sell bad goods without any blowback, it's a bad business.

Of course. The cost of developing phones has been coming down, and the number of people who want strong privacy on their phones is increasing (and/or they are willing to pay more for it). Those numbers have finally crossed, and unless something changes, I think Linux phones will always have a niche market.
I do this a lot with my cats and dogs as well, they are smart, they just don't speak my language, so since they were small I spoke to them with sign language, for example if the dogs are still hungry after I give them food, I do the hand gesture of clapping in ASL and that way they understand that there's no more food and can see my hands that I am not hiding/holding anything

There's not much else that I can do when they go insane barking tho..... But they do trust me a lot and I can tell easily when they are trying to tell me things such as "follow me" which happens when they find something weird like a dead frog or some other animal they don't know (neighbors have chickens)

Also they lately have gotten into making holes in the yard (the dogs) if anyone has ideas how to stop that, that'd be great.....
So you think there should be some sort of survey where you get to judge a persons morality and personal beliefs even if they have no want in sharing them with you - just so you can feel comfortable about there being a CHANCE you might get passed over for something and that the reason for the MIGHT be because they have some sort of bias against you?

When someone says ideally you wouldn't know it's because unless you and I are personally close ideally you wouldn't know any of my personal beliefs / views on morality or politics. They aren't any of your business and I shouldn't want / nor need to explain them to you.
I don't understand the desire for a Linux phone as so described in the article as a daily driver.

The Android platform represents an enormous amount of work that encompasses a more secure base kernel, an unparalleled selection of applications designed for mobile usage and written in a memory-safe language, fantastic sandboxing and user privacy features leagues ahead of any desktop operating system, and great diversity in the hardware market.

While it's apparent that Android has significant downsides - de facto proprietary drivers, an environment of mostly closed-source applications, some Big G integration, and a general lack of long-term updates occasionally countering the work put into security (thanks, chip manufacturers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26593274), these are problems that can be solved. It doesn't make sense to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Closed-source applications are more a moral problem than a security one thanks to Android's sandboxing, and a vibrant ecosystem of high-quality free-and-open-source Android applications (https://f-droid.org - Amaze, Notally, QKSMS, and Tasks are some of my favorites) makes them all but optional. Google's presence in the AOSP codebase is rather limited (mostly around notifications) and taken out altogether by custom ROMs like Lineage and GrapheneOS. Proprietary drivers remain as Android's biggest problem, perhaps alongside the manufacturers that ship locked-down phones with bloatware (looking at you, Samsung).

Why go the desktop-Linux-to-mobile route when you could fork Android, write drivers for the Pinephone / Librem 5, punch a hole to the base system for privileged applications, and have the best of both worlds with an order of magnitude less effort?
They do have an official not-quite tiling VM: FancyZones[1]. I don't know how good it is, but it's open source. I personally use AquaSnap [2] (commercial, 18 USD) for my window tiling & snapping needs which has definitely been a worthy purchase.

As a child in Israel, I was fascinated with these rules.

That said, I’m saddened to see how so many people are excited by these laws, when people who are forced to live by them in Israel suffer, as there’s only one kind of “true” Judaism followed here. They can and often are used for discrimination, hate towards minorities and significant limits of freedom about what you can do, who to marry, what to eat and more.

For example, someone here used “goyim” in its pure sense - someone not from the people of Israel. I’ve often seen it used as a hate word.
The way I understand bitcoin is the following:

1. Main advantage of it is that it can't be stopped.

2. Since it can't be stopped - it allows to evade any regulation from the government or the bank. If it replaces banking system - you can move around the globe with your capital and spend it the way you like. This is not the case at the moment

3. Bitcoin could become a currency if it was fast enough and fees were low enough. Which was quickly discovered to be not true since the complexity increased, transactions slowed down and no one agreed to upgrade block size since this is additional costs to mining.

4. Since bitcoin now is slow and expensive industry found another way to use it - store long term value without risk of government to inflate currency and steal your money. point#2 is still valid. Recent surge in prices is caused by this reasoning in my mind.

5. Since everyone earned enormous amount of money in past months people will keep hodling expecting the growth to continue, but it will slow down. Once it slows down - people will start selling to get their profits and there will be huge correction.

6. In the very long run bitcoin can go through multiple cycles of such growth and decline and either will become more predictable (community will come up with some rules on how bitcoin fees and speeds are regulated etc.) or will stay this a bit more dangerous but a but more free way to transfer value geographically and also over time.

It probably could be more dangerous to world governments if point #3 realized

An OTA Android update which modifies your apps would make it incompatible when those apps try to update themselves at a later point and find different signed apps. This would out Google as hostile immediately since there would be no other party who could feasibly swap out your apps.

Whilst not preventative, even one attack would likely get enough media coverage it'd destroy Android by Google trust irreversibly.
Note that gate lines in London (and indeed elsewhere with the same system in the UK) will always have a staff member nearby to operate the gate line. If there isn't anybody available, the gate line is left open.

For example London Waterloo is an important enough station that for my last train home at 0105 from Waterloo, the last scheduled train from the station, the main gate line will still be running. There are likely a dozen or more employees still in the building, so why not.

But by the time it reaches the far smaller city where I live, its last stop for the night, about two hours later, the city is closed, nobody is attending the gate line, you could just walk out without a ticket.

The gates are however online, they just know there isn't anyone supervising so they don't close. Since I don't want to carry the paper ticket and dispose of it properly, I give it to the gate, which, despite being open, will conclude that this ticket isn't valid for any further journeys and swallow it. Attendants will take thousands of used tickets out and presumably they're recycled, or composted or burned, not my problem.

Also, in the event of an emergency you can force this style of gate, it will sound an alarm but an adult human is capable of exerting enough force to pass, which is what you should do if, somehow, you find yourself fleeing say, a fire, and the gate is closed but unattended.

It's actually supported without LD_LIBRARY_PATH hacks, using DT_RPATH. You can do that by passing -rpath '$ORIGIN' to linker IIRC.
Did you read the disclaimer at the bottom of the chart? The May 2020 slope is due to a change in bank financial reporting.

The people who developed Chia hold a massive pre-mined collection, and plan to go public (as in stock, not ICO) later, so definitely seems like they could profit.

I know nothing about the real situation, but commenting off the cuff based on what I read here, it sounds like either:

1) google just sign these apks with their own certs.

2) google should present the developer with a google public key that the developer signs, allowing google to sign an apk with a google key that had a chain of trust to the developer.
this is a terrible post! almost all software will compile on openwrt. the sdk build option builds a very nice self contained toolset that builds aost anything. it's just linux. this "openwett is unfortunately rather limiting" shallow posting sounds like ridiculously unsubstantiated corporate anti-open-source software droneposting. spreading shit to confuse the field. f this. bad posting. stop kneecapping great flexible distros. this shallow challenge made, "tcpflow", is some ultra ultra particular horseshit that doesnt reflection what we could do, creates a sense of limit where really possibilities are endless as we wish. terrible conservative posting, I hate it.

this is just a really narrow gripe, picking on one very tiny small perspective angle. and it doesn't take any responsibility for what it might take to do better. this is extremely cheap talk shade casting. i'm incredibly unimpressed. it reeks of sabotage.

I wonder why having a Shabbos goy is permitted, while having a device to perform the same task is not. Maybe someone could start a company who hired remote shabbos goys that observed signals from motion sensors and controlled lights in response to them.
> Google might do this for a lot of reasons, and none of them seem to be good.

As a Play Store developer, I give Google the benefit of the doubt. By the way, before you assume a nefarious purpose, consider all Android phones connecting to the Play Store (by definition) have an auto-updating root process. Why does Google need to impersonate an application developer? This is fundamentally why Commonsware scare tactics don't resonate with me, the application has less privileges than the system and the app store, the calls are coming from inside the house!

But, there are more common and mundane reasons. Honestly, a lot of people lose their private signing key. And if that happens, no more updates to your app. By using App Signing, Google can help regenerate a key for you. They want to make this ability consistent across their whole store, that's why they're making the change.

They can also optimize the app bundle the device downloads from the store, as the store will know the target screen size, localization, CPU architecture, etc. The current workflow forces the application engineer to upload separate apk configurations. So this is also an improvement.

Isn't this a little like arguing that by telling someone I know is a hitman a physical description of a target and where a large pot of money is buried I haven't intended for him to carry out a hit? I don't think that would hold up in court (especially if it could be shown that this was an established practice for setting up a hit).

Because Android is Google's own property, it's not like a standard Linux distribution by any stretch of imagination.

I'm not even against proprietary apps (just against proprietary drivers of course), it's just that transforming Android to make it behave normally is just more and more work every year.

Some people (including myself) would prefer to have the same system they have on their desktop on their phone, with the added bonus of having convergence.

Shielding Android from the rest of the system as a "compatibility layer" just to run some apps or drivers makes tons of sens.

Linus is a brilliant guy. Underneath his quirky, cold persona, and the short temper, is a guy I admire not just for his technical brilliance, but his ability to put it into words so concisely and correctly. That’s the one superpower people don’t realize makes great engineers (now remember that English isn’t Linus’ first language).

I’ve felt this with Linus, Dave Cutler and other “10x” engineers. Their code really isn’t that much better than anyone else with similar level of experience. Lot of engineers come up with neat solutions. But listening to these men or reading something they’ve written on their topic of interest, it feels as if you’d figured out the thing they’d just explained by yourself.
I want a phone that's Android in the hand but when I plug it into a usb-c hub, it projects full a fat linux distro on my external monitor(s).

Though I love Linux, it's not because it's Linux - I just want to live the one device life. If IPhones could run MacOS on external monitors, I'd buy an iPhone.

Alternatively, a web-based OS (with desktop linux on a hub) would be awesome if all my apps were available as web apps - but they are not so I'd still need a mobile OS and a desktop OS for the usbc hub life.

None of that makes it ok to break the site guidelines. Bad articles don't excuse bad comments.

From a quick look at the article, I don't think you're doing it justice—and from what little I know of Holland, he's a serious writer on this topic. However, that's all beside the point. Even if the article is as bad and provocative as you say, it's not ok to fulminate about it on HN. Rather, the thing to do is (a) not post about that, and (optionally) (b) find a different thread to post to, one where you can do so in a curious spirit.

Curious conversation happens when commenters are in a curious state. If you're not in a curious state, you shouldn't be posting. Denunciatory rhetoric is not what we want here.

You were hardly the only offender in this thread, which is one of the most embarrassing things I've seen on HN in quite a while.

The Orthodox view is that primacy is given to the present Rabbinic interpretations (and extensions) of the law beyond the literal meaning of the Biblical canon (called "Tanakh", which includes the 5 books of Moses as well as the writings of some later sages and prophets).

It is considered heresy to view the Bible/Tanakh as the last word on a law. Instead, the Rabbinic derivations are seen as capturing the underlying intent of biblical law as it may actually manifest in real societal practice.

An example is the famous "take an eye for an eye" statement, which is interpreted Rabinically as referring to monetary compensation for damages. Actually seeking to physically harm someone in accordance to harm done to you is a gross violation of law.
