Worth noting the journalists of The Guardian are all unionized, as members of the National Union of Journalists, and thereby receive above market wages and job security as a result of the state suppressing their employers' liberty to contract with workers outside of their union.

Consequently they will have a financial conflict of interest when it comes to covering stories relevant to which political world view - left wing or capitalist - gains credence.

It is owned by a company structured like a non-profit trust, so it doesn't even have shareholders to offer meager pushback against the political agenda of its unionized workforce:

> Also we're talking of less than 5% of EU population

I agree, at first glance it seems like the global approach is an overkill.

I think it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem though.

Is the global eID/eWallet an overkill, because we're already at the peak of the within-EU movement of people?

Or, is the burden of switching countries too big and this prevents people from freely moving within the Union when looking for opportunities?

IMO it's the latter.

I think if Facebook did such a thing, a journalist could find out about it by now.

Facebook isn't open-source, so it's hard to analyze what the app does, but not impossible, and Facebook is under a lot of scrutiny.
A local database will store data in a file, but I get what you're saying. Files are a common interface that allow you to pipe data around, keep it portable and malleable.
OS/2 was technically ditched by IBM as sole owners (well after a while). And many Cairo components landed elsewhere sometimes as separate products - Windows 95 GUI, COM, Active Directory, Exchange... so where coordination definitely failed, technology seems to have produced lasting results.

You'll be surprised how much you can get away with not staying up-to-date on your software. Desktop software is mostly mature and you aren't losing much anything by using several-year-old versions. In other words, it feels as if updates rarely bring useful features and are more about moving stuff around to keep the developers and designers busy.

In that situation, why do you WANT tests?

If, for example, someone intends to refactor the code into something more maintainable and wants tests to prevent any accidental changes in functionality, then this is useful.

If the goal is to catch bugs or to facilitate future development or to meet some test coverage standard then I argue you might be better off not having tests rather than having auto-generated tests that have not been carefully reviewed.
> Brussels is engaged in talks with member states to provide guidelines on technical standards for rollout of the digital wallet, which is expected to be fully operational in about a year

Big LOL. A year for a project like this is hopelessly optimistic. I'd expect it will take 2 to 5 years for the basic centralized infrastructure to be made available, and 5 to 10 years for for countries to actually integrate it in their existing systems.

It's a great initiative which I'd strongly support, I hope it doesn't get discredited by pursuing unrealistic deadlines.
Coding with contracts has always been interesting to me but I haven't had the option/time to try it seriously in a project. I assume you've had experience with it, how much productivity/code maintanability you gain compared to not using it (or using type annotations)?
It's not a question of whether UUIDs can be generated unguessably. They can be, as you point out.

It's whether the UUIDs in your system can be reliably presumed to be unguessable - including the UUIDs that were generated by code which was written after you wrote your query that assumes unguessability.

Today you might say "Oh, this SecureRandom-based UUID generator is unguessable and meets all of our requirements". Tomorrow you might say "Ah, this SecureRandom-based UUID generator is too slow, let's generate them in our Android app instead of on the server". But now the UUIDs stored in your database aren't reliably unguessable, because you accept whatever your client API tells you without verification. How plausible is it, within the timeframes you actually get, to review every query for whether it assumes the trustworthiness of the UUID generation? Better to assume UUIDs have some convenient properties, than to assume that they're unguessable just because the API is cryptographically secure today.

do people want that? whenever there was a referendum on an EU constitution or anything of that sort, it got rejected.
The risks are significant, but it doesn't logically follow that by removing a barrier you are only helping the people that were already OK with getting over the barrier. I think the issue is that there are still a lot of hurdles that regarding residence, tax and local services that will need to become easier still for this to have a large impact. Language and local friends / family connections are still significant barriers, but I guess the EU could eventually resolve most other issues. A big one would be making tax returns for partial years in different countries easier, which in fairness having an EU wide eID does help with. Requiring and allowing accounts to offer full EU coverage would also probably help. The friction needs to be below tolerable levels for enough people to see the full benefit manifest.

As anecdata if I had to get VISA and only temporary right to remain I would probably have not moved to Netherlands, and it has genuinely stopped me considering moving to America.

As a British / Irish citizen I'm acutely aware that there are now new barriers to non-eu British citizens, and that'll impact how many people move around Europe from UK. Especially people who cannot afford to navigate the additional costs and bureaucracy, or who are scared of risking family security with temporary stays etc.

It's not about brains. The typical mindset of public performers and entertainers (a.k.a. influencers) is they earn money because of who they are. And since their selves usually don't change drastically from year to year, the thinking is the earnings won't change drastically too.
Hacker News has a libertarian anti-tax bent that I think a lot of people on here assume is the consensus globally. It’s not. I’m happy to pay taxes and I like the benefits they bring society as a whole.

I can understand why decades of Republicans and to some extent Democrats deliberately ruining your public services would give you a scepticism towards taxes, but you have to remember that not everyone lives in the US, and even then not everyone has the same attitude
> Belgian eID works (almost) flawlessly on Linux.

The software stack is pretty much standardized. I am a bit worried about aarch64 platforms, but hopefully they will also be supported.

OTOH, the itsme application is a huge security issue aside of being a serious vendor lock-in over passwords, 2FA and OTP. It is tivoising logins like OKTA, except that here, it is mandated by the state.

The EU is absolutely incompetent when it comes to cybersecurity. Nearly every single one of their member governments have been pwned, including Germany, France and Belgium among others.

These people can't even keep their own communications secure (Merkel's emails were hacked less than a year ago), why would they give a damn about your personal data?

Not really the case. You don't need to build a Jekyll blog from scratch. Really good and fully functional templates are floating around. Just fork something like Beautiful Jekyll or AcademicPages, and edit YAMLs, and .md's to get started. Really easy to do.

I recently started to look into Cloudflare Pages. Worth a look.
I thought the same thing. If having all this stuff open is a useful thing, then the desktop paradigm is definitely not a problem. If having all this stuff open is a distraction, the desktop paradigm is still not the problem.

In one way, it sounds like transient information-hoarding, something few would really desire on a real desktop.
Some Scattered Thoughts on Doing What You Love
Any fantasy movie in a futuristic setting (even one that's technically in the past, like Star Wars) would be widely considered science fiction. Granted, that is a common definition of science fiction.

But science fiction can also be something like The Twilight Zone: a genre that explores "what-if" scenarios. A genre that takes some fictional premise and attempts to explore the consequences logically. An example premise could be, how might modern society have evolved if the Greek gods were real? A sci-fi story would try to approach that question in a scientific and logical way. Star Trek often followed this pattern. Star Wars doesn't.

A weakness of defining sci-fi by a futuristic setting is that you can change the genre with only superficial changes to the story. Other major genres - comedy, horror, mystery, romance, action - are defined by the feeling or thought process they try to evoke. But take Star Wars and replace the planets with kingdoms, the Jedi with wizards, and the force with.. well, that's fine as it is.. and you can create a story with the exact same plot points but without a futuristic setting. There's no actual science in Star Wars; only a futuristic setting.

Setting doesn't feel like it should be the feature that defines a genre. You should be able to have a comedy, horror or mystery take place in a futuristic setting and a sci-fi that takes place in the present (and we often do, eg, The Handmaid's Tale).

I'll note that there aren't many movies that stick to just sci-fi; most incorporate a lot of action (like The Matrix). This is probably because filmmakers feel 2+ hours of science fiction would be boring. The movie The Martian heavily cut from the science of the book and focused on the action (while the book had little action and a lot of science). You see a strong sci-fi focus more often in literature and TV.
Yes and I believe it is more morally correct to have a fundamental belief that innocent people shouldn't have their rights violated to achieve some larger social goal. The ends don't justify the means, and fundamental human rights shouldn't be voidable by majority vote.

You're giving emails to Google, and Google provides you value in exchange. That's selling them.
Off topic fun fact: that novel is by Iain Banks, not Iain M Banks. He only uses the "M" for his Science Fiction novels.
A lot of the stuff you mention, the drinking/clubbing is just true of teenagers / young people in the UK and you probably missed out the drugs and sex.

When I went to a "top tier" uni in the 90s after watching the young ones and reading adrian mole I expected students to be going to rallies and being "intellectual". I spent more time reading about other subjects than my own and underperformed in my degree. Students were mostly over-privileged rich kids, doing exactly what you'd expect young people to do when they first got a chance of freedom.

I was lucky enough to get a full grant, which I wouldn't get now and overall I enjoyed the experience, which echoed far after I left the environment. It wasn't quite what I expected it would be though.

Your sneakers and jeans don't contain all your workflow, apps you purchased, files etc. You'll just be switching to a different logo on your clothing :)

But I agree there's nothing we can do about it. I moved away from Apple privately too (still use it for work) and I miss it less than expected.
Lightroom 4 in my case – I've switched to CaptureOne with Adobe's Cloud-only move, but I have a library of old photos that I still need to access from time to time.
Since the 70s people - also in Physics departments - thought we are really close to viable fusion. In these early days also a lot of money has been put into it. Therefore I highly doubt this approach is bringing any commercially usable results within the next decades.
How many people in Belgium used an eID, or thought it's a good idea, in the first year? Were there privacy concerns, etc? I assume people were asking the same things as you are now.

In the Netherlands you can change your address in every municipality, using our DigiD system. Nowadays you can also use the European system to log in.

And don't forget, while 3% may sound insignificant, it is still over 13 million people.

Yeah but the point is that any attempt of redistribution in the name of fairness, is also equally unfair from the opposite perspective. So there is no way to make anything "more fair", if you take from one person to give to another, it's always unfair for one of them.
This is purely anecdotal, but there is a certain pretension to Oxford that doesn't seem to be present at Cambridge.
> All offline uses can and could be cracked.

Sure, but that's a significant amount of work; AIUI macOS/amd64 works pretty much out of the box with minimal tweaks to DSMOS. If it uses cryptographic protections (say, decrypting the kernel) added to T2 firmware, this becomes a lot more of a hassle to build a macOS distribution that runs without a T2.

In any case, this is a polar bear on an iceberg: in a relatively short while, Apple won't be shipping anything intel, and a few years after that macOS will be ARM-only.
I use it a lot with my friends (Signal) when speaking in very sensitive subjects instead of deleting messages manually you just make sure that messages will not be available after a specific time so you are safe if someone hacked your phone. and yes it's very useful if both parties agreed to it. is not security against the one who are chatting with but the one who might access your data one day.
Technology and communications: Something new for small businesses
> When I open a program, I want to use that program. I don't want to update it, I don't want to see all the new features, I want to USE it. I opened it because I had a task to complete and all this junk is getting in my way.

Jonathan Blow did a talk similar to this a few years ago, about how "software is terrible".

In a part of it, he double clicked on a .psd file to open in Photoshop and timed how long it took to open the image. It took around 8 seconds for Photoshop to display that image on screen. But the first thing the app did was show a splash screen image, almost instantly.

His argument was, "Why, when I double click this image file that I want to view, does it instantly load an image which isn't the one I want to view, and then take 8 seconds to load the one I do want to view. If it can instantly load an image when I double click the file, why isn't that image the one I double clicked?"
I absolutely agree, the idea of a fair society needs to go away, it's just a dead end that only leads to fighting over crumbs and stifling productivity, what we need to do is get rid of jealousy and resentment.
I'm in the same boat. My phone is mainly just lying around on my desk when I'm at home. Why poke around on a tiny screen when I have a triple-screen setup with a proper keyboard?

And since early 2020 I've been at home a LOT. So I get 3-day battery life now because I simply don't use my phone. In these times a 4" phone just for outside would be nice. Once things pick up again though I wouldn't mind the bigger screen to read books on the subway to work.
With the advent of online-only games what we'll eventually see is the erasure of a generation's (sub)culture.

When in 2070 a kid will ask their parents what they used to do when they were small, they'll answer "Play League of Legends" or maybe "Play Fortnite". "Can I try it?" "No, it is gone now."

That's 50C (bit less)... which is quite low operating temperature and very far from anything that damages silicon. Temperature fluctuations are far worse due to thermal expansion/contraction.

I agree that it's likely not a universal experience, but I relate to this so much. I just love smoking, and if we had a way to make it safe I'd be smoking every day. I still miss it a long time after I quit, particularly when the occasion would be perfect for a cigarette. I'm pretty sure that clinical depression is associated somewhat with the hold smoking has/d on me; getting better mentally made it much easier to not smoke.
I'm just afraid SAP, Telekom, or Big "O" will get the contract and it'd be over budget, delayed and half-assed as usual.

> We're far from that. The gap between countries is big. Just to mention Belgium's example despite having an eID, you can't even change your address online in most communes and you need to physically present yourself and demand the address to be changed.

I see. Here in Finland electronic services has been widely implemented and very successfully so. I haven't been required to show up in person for anything in quite some time (altough I sometimes have). Government bodies are also very keen to inform about and push for the e-services available. Especially in these pandemic times, which I believe further incented the long tail - if there was one - to catch up and offer self-service online.

I belive Sweden is as far if not further than Finland, but I wouldn't know(!) because the ID and eID was a hassle I didn't cope with the last time I lived there ;) Thing were fine anyway, "because EU, Nordics".
This contributed to my departure from academia (UK professor). The majority of students didn't care, the staff cared even less, and senior management just wanted bums on seats.

Gaining a position in academia is something that takes a lot of time, so the disappointment is still with me.
