Services like email don't have a high barrier to entry and most customers don't have complex technical requirements, so much of choosing a provider is based on trust and instinct - rightly or wrongly.

I remember a while ago someone promoting a new email service that "focused on privacy", etc. A few knowledgeable HN users quickly pointed out they were running Mail-in-a-Box on a single Digital Ocean droplet.

Your open source link contains nothing, your blog has no posts, your Windows app is not found in the store, your privacy policy is from a free policy generator tool, there are no reviews due to the service being new and there is no documentation for how to use custom domains, etc. You may offer an excellent service, but there's not a lot to base trust on.

Wow this thing is such an abomination that about half the commentators in the original thread literally are taking home the opposite message (ie ‘x’ to confirm vs checkmark).
It seems insane that Tesla continues to shun LIDAR. Is it just pride at this point? Apple sells an $800 tablet with it built in, so while obviously the Tesla unit would have to be a lot larger and more powerful, I can’t see the cost argument making sense when the cheapest car they sell costs 50x as much (and the most expensive will be 250x).
I think it would be useful enough in the context of anti-spam while preserving anonymity, not necessarily as a source of generating revenue. There are cryptocurrencies that preserve anonymity as well.
I am shopping for a car currently, and I want an electric car, but I have to regularly make a 300 mile drive on short notice. The only vehicles that I can purchase today which are EPA rated to make this trip without stopping have a Tesla badge on the front.

And with the chip shortage, there are a lot of other vehicles that are hard to find too.

Reading Aloud (Writing Advice)
I moved from old HoverZoom to Imagus, wasn't aware a reboot of HoverZoom around, thanks for sharing. I'm curious how the sieves and also writing custom sieves compare, if anyone has experience with both.
> But then you’re also executing that code as a trusted user. Ie the real hack is owning the dev.

That's like saying the real hack is sending a phishing email, ignoring all privesc, lateral movement, etc.

> No. The vast majority of build systems are either locked to private repositories, and/or a subset of developers, and/or run in an ephemeral sandbox.

I didn't say otherwise. I said that the majority allow untrusted execution. If you consider your engineers laptops to be trusted you're thinking about networks the way people did ~10+ years ago.

> It’s negligible because if someone can exploit a buffer overflow in awk then they can already run arbitrary code in awk

This isn't true, but even if it were you can just replace awk with anything else that's not turing complete.
Worked on autonomous X for US gov. For any value of X, its a fool's errand to try to reduce the amount of information going into your GNC. Multi spectral, multi viewpoint, inertial-calibrated, and lots and lots of onboard models and processing.
That's one reason why they sell their souls to the Climate UN / NWO scam and pump out trash papers based on fudged data/models that backs up the fearmongering narrative.

Same here, with their email AND vpn. Its been flawless so far, tech wise.

But yeah, they really need to control and focus their core message to a tech board. If you whiff that (which they did), there's a good chance in running off your core users. And that is generally considered a bad idea.
You have a bit of a caricatural take on research.

From a societal perspective, PhDs and postdocs take part in the economy, they have a job, make money, spend money, produce research sometimes in partnership with the industry, sometimes with immediate applications, sometimes theoretical with applications that will only come decades down the line. There is no reason to set the line at Bachelors, as a society we've found it's best to have a subset of the population go into higher studies. We used to have children participate in the economy 10 to 15 years earlier in fields and factories and it wasn't so good.

From the perspective of the individual, getting a PhD isn't always much longer than getting a Masters, and teaches you skill you will not acquire anywhere else. It also opens the door to research positions that would not be accessible to you without it. And you can have greater expected monetary returns on the medium and long term. I've known a lot of people doing PhDs, a good amount doing it for prestige, because it was the expected next step after a masters. Many others were doing it out of passion, for the freedom to study things they were interested in an amazing environment. So on an individual level many people find it worth it whether their priority is money or intellectual pursuits.
This isn't true at all. I self-host email, with full SPF/DKIM/dmarc, ESMTP, and my email isn't rejected anywhere. I'm sending and receiving via a Digital Ocean VPS. I've had the same IP for six years, and never had a problem.

No mannerheim is correct , you are saying yeah but some people can't.. but his solution solve the issue , if you want to register under tor over anonymous and secure mail system having 5$ Monero is the easiest thing to procure.. there are communities that trade for cash or you can even mine anonymous there may be other alternatives.. but one solution to avoid bots doesn't exclude others you as subscriber should be able to choose the one that fits to you so saying some may find it difficult doesn't say that this solution is invalid . Just that maybe must not be the only option available
I considered Migadu, but saw their stance on freespeech and decided not to go with them:

"Hate speech" is too vague and highly subjective and just leads to censorship.

But why would someone choose road cycling for exercise over running on a sidewalk? Road cycling is very expensive and inconveniences people.
Yea, sure. It's a server provided for security researchers. The challenge is to run any program we haven't allowed from the root shell. It's been defeated and patched 3 times over the past 2 years. You can get the list of allowed programs by running `whitebeam --list whitelist | grep Executable`. The details (and bounties) are listed here: https://github.com/WhiteBeamSec/WhiteBeam/blob/master/SECURI...

Unlike the challenge system, we also run some honeypots that record attempts. That way it's easy for both whitehats and blackhats to contribute to the overall QA testing.
There are plenty of other stores to chose from.

The problem here is that there are some apps that don't work without Google services, and those are the apps that you need the most: banking apps, payment apps, Uber, etc.
I've never even heard of Protonmail. I just think it's silly to fault anyone for blocking/limiting TOR connections.

Do you think reporting these requests to the store(s) in question might result in investigation, or at the least, a list of suspicious investors to use to vet extensions/apps?
It depends a lot on the content. If you're targeting a lucrative niche, contextual ads can be effective. But for the majority of (mostly low-quality) content, it's hard to find well-matched ads. The study you cited is based on "a rich dataset of millions of advertising transactions completed across multiple websites owned by a large media company". It's probably not that representative.
One thing I've been meaning to do for a while is try to use a 'hardcore' AOSP 'de-googled' Android rom, like ParanoidAndroid. I've no idea how much of a pain in the arse this will be. Heck, being rooted causes enough unexpected "why do you not work" moments for me. If anything, I feel Google has got more hostile to the privacy-conscious user over time.

The trouble with privacy as a product is that it's _very_ hard to verify it. Apple has basically said "Trust us, We're Okay" and smaller fry are even harder to verify.
Why not receive all mail on your server and send your mail through your isp.

That way no one reads the emails sent to you and the ones that you send get through (and outbound privacy is not expected if you are sending to gmail or another provider anyhow).

That also makes it harder to track conversations and would take manual work to recreate the conversation threads.
What research? Multiple companies which use these practices have grown from zero to trillion+ dollars in market cap, so I find it hard to believe the narrative that all of it is useless and ineffective.

I had it all figured out. Dark room. Just the right temperature. Big enough bed. The perfect mattress. Cool, high tech, fabrics. Nice and thin pillow.

Then along came The Kids. Two of them. They have, of course, beds of their own, night lights, all that stuff. But they are now the ones enjoying my wonder of a bedroom. And me, I'm sleeping on the couch.

Some nights, one of The Kids, seems to feel even the couch is to comfy for me. One of them comes wandering over to the couch to sleep next to me, often ending up pushing me out altogether. Those nights I end up sleeping, all curled up, in their small Ikea Växa-beds.

But, I'm not morose. Im just tired.

Good luck with your sleep palace, pal, I sincerely wish you get to enjoy yours.

The only way to "properly" have a fixed width encoding is to allocate 80-128 bytes per character. Anything else will break horribly on accents and other common codepoints. So everyone uses the less-easy methods.

I base this number off the "Stream-Safe Text Format" which suggests that while it's preferred that you accept infinitely-long characters, a cap of 31 code points is more or less acceptable.

SWIG seems really powerful, but not very common in my experience. Why don't we use this more often to create bindings for the same important core libraries across multiple languages?
There was a time when a dealer would invest in a building, a deal with car companies and then, car companies would look at what dealers sell more cars, and establish in front of them a competing dealership run by the company itself, which resulted in a better price, bankrupting the independent dealer.

But Tesla always sold their cars directly, there is no risk that they will compete with any third party dealership because they do not make deal with them.
That is why that law does not make sense to be applied to Tesla.
Its a shame Texas define themselves as one of the most free states and still have this law

I have done this my entire life. I think. When I met my partner, she found it strange and hilarious. Now, she is the one who always need a knee-pillow.
Sorry I was updating my answer while you replied ,i think I've replied in my previous message to this, what i mean is ip or phone or 5$ monero or .. google captcha or ...something else ... You choose then you have different privacy level and they keep service bot free. Entry barrier is not increased because you are free too chose what you want..maybe they can even say monero mining in your browser for 3 hours.. it's a quite reasonable request imo .. and should help vs bots.. yeah in reality it.s increased only if you compare to no bot filter..
Gotta love all the comments here and on the Github issue who just throw out casual "This problem is trivial to solve!"'s.

Doesn't the virus bud off of the host cell's lipid membrane and not have a protein / capsid membrane for the immune system to be able to fingerprint? The spikes are the only thing visible to the immune system is my understanding, at least of viable virus.

Other innate immune processes destroy any extracellular RNA if the virus is ruptured etc.
Young populations are not hermetically sealed away from older populations.

The irony... that you're reading some brutally simplified, crude, static, easily-archived HTML text whose fulltext copy has also been mailed out to thousands of readers[1] and archived in their personal mail readers and computers? A lot of bad things one could, and I have, said about Substack's technology, but "it will linkrot and can't be archived" is not one of them.

[1] ACX is #2 on the Technology Substack leaderboard so it has 'thousands'; since my own newsletter is ~6k and Scott is many times more popular than I am in our circles, I'd guess the number of email copies of this ACX post is closer to 50k than 1k.
When our first kid fell out of our continental bed and smashed his mouth all bloody. We started sleeping on the floor. That was 4 years ago, and we have moved twice since. we are still sleeping on the floor.

We wan't to get bed, but a very low one. Mattress on the floor is nice, but it's actually good have have some kind of airflow below the mattress, I guess for ventilation.
My email existing in a database that gets passed around to different new companies that automatically spam it daily via a CRM has absolutely nothing to do with who I am or my competence. I'm just a row in a database, and the cost to the spammers is 0.

Therefore, I don't understand how my post could be interpreted as humble bragging. Perhaps if I had included more details like this one, such confusion wouldn't occur. Thanks for sharing your interpretation. Hopefully this comment will help.
You can also create a Google Account using a non-Google e-mail address, without any special Google Business thing. I did. I keep a Google account tied to my work e-mail address, but there is no Gmail account associated with this Google account. I can use Google services, but all my mail is on our corporate servers.

A lot of people in corporations set things up without necessarily understanding what they're setting up. This includes apps. If you're thinking, "Wouldn't Microsoft know how to set things up correctly?" the answer is "Not necessarily". It's not "Microsoft" setting up some app account, it's a random guy on a random team somewhere in Microsoft, who might not have ever published an app before, much less gotten any training or done much investigation into it.
Looks like a nifty app. I‘d rather pay than having to list myself on a newsletter, but I could also just use a throwaway?

Why not opensource it completely?

Their “bridge” lets you use a regular imap client, which makes it trivial.
So you're saying the same funds always have the top performance? Or have the top AUM? And are you talking about hedge funds or mutual funds?
Whether or not this is true, it's far from the original question. OP's question (in my reading) presupposes permission to monitor healthcare data. If you believe the xoogler and googler responses in this thread, Google's data stewardship will be superior to that of other people doing healthcare ERP stuff. So the only question is if Google can do something without ads tracking, and the answer is yes. Gmail and Docs and Drive isn't used for ads purposes (granted gmail used to be, but even then it was siloed and only used within gmail). It's just a freemium model.
Yeah, I get that, but it seems to me like that's worse than the security model for any non-containerized application. If you don't trust the author there really isn't much there that will protect you.
> “my loud exhaust helps me to be seen”

Friend of mine turned in front of a motorcyclist who had loud pipes and was going about 50 in a 25 mph zone. He was complaining the whole time the EMT's were loading him into the ambulance that my friend was at fault because he had loud pipes.

I don't ride but have nothing against motorcyclists. But I wish there was some sort of tracking device that would warn me when they are around.

Last point something my parents warned me about when learning to drive. Not everyone has great eyesight or hearing, especially older people. Also older people often have limited neck mobility.
The “church” in my comment is referring to people. Institutions don’t commit atrocities. People do. I was trying to illustrate (perhaps poorly) that even in our most sincere attempts to be good, we fail at it regularly. But how we love to point out and condemn darkness in others.

For those who don't want to read the entire article, here's one part which you shouldn't skip: F3 the page for "getting caught by security and police".
As someone who was a motorcycle safety instructor, which required a ton of training and memorization of safety statistics for a 20 something year old in order to teach new riders for a few summers during college - the numbers agree with your sentiment.

Loud pipes don’t do squat. All the noise is behind you, no one hears you coming they only hear you going, and at that point they hate you.

Now… I have an admission to make, and public apologies to give. The pipes on my current primary motorcycle are the exact same pipes I had on my previous motorcycle but they are significantly louder and it was way too late to do anything about it that wasn’t going to cost thousands before I realized.

They are not jerk levels loud, but they have enough rumble to them that I essentially do everything I can to idle out of my neighborhood in the morning (I’m a block in from an agricultural road). They don’t really reach “Harley level loud” until I’m at least 85% throttle and on my bike that is basically drag racing level of throttle position.

Here’s the thing- they were incredibly expensive and my bike is completely, _perfectly_, tuned for them with new FI programming, air intake, and full dyno tuning. No accel/decel pops, etc.

So- neighbors, world, I’m truly sorry. When I replace this bike I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. Until then, know I feel like a jerk every morning in my new neighborhood basically coasting to the main road.
> As a result UTF-8 that would decode outside that range is just invalid, no different from if it was 0xFF bytes or something.

That's needlessly pedantic. If you use an old version of the spec those bytes are valid.

And "have the capability" seems to me to be talking about what the underlying method is able to do, not the full set of "must not" rules.
I would pay for a service that reviewed the source code of my extensions (and other installed software) and stamped each specific version as being OK. Then I'd configure my browser not to update an extension to a new version until the extension-verification service had read through the code of the update and okayed it.

Granted, such a service wouldn't have the resources to review all extensions, but it could probably handle vetting the most popular and updates to those popular extensions. I can even imagine some kind of market that would let a group of people get this service to begin vetting a new extension.
True. 2600 sprites work like this too. "Specky" has a Z80 anyway. I can't imagine realistically targeting something like this or being nostalgic for that XOR'd sprite look. Most later machines had more / varied graphical capabilities, even the new Commander X16 which uses a 'c02 has it's own graphics processor and several formats.

It's not a game for everyone, but I'd suggest giving it a reasonably serious try if you're curious. It's by far my favorite puzzle game, and I generally do not like puzzle games.

I played through it with a local retro gaming group over a series of sessions. That made it a lot more relaxed and fun, as we could share the mental load when getting a big fatigued. Most of it we could figure out through simple intuition, persistence, observation, etc, but there is one puzzle at the end that we hand to resort to pen and paper, coming up with a formalism for it.

All in all it was a really cool experience.
