Implementing a legally-mandated wiretap requirement like CALEA doesn't require you to break your protocol (i.e. the transport layer). It is implemented at the application layer, on the server. You can still have cryptographically secure communication between client and server while complying with wiretap laws.

If you're concerned about your government intercepting your communications with a warrant, there's not really anything you can do except move to an E2E encrypted app like Signal. But if you're OK with only being monitored if a judge signs a warrant, then the GP's suggestion helps.

These protocol backdoors are more dangerous than application-level wiretaps because anyone can find and use them; they might be private at first, but once they are discovered there's usually no way to fix them without moving to a new protocol (version).

Protocol breaks seem to me to be more in the category of "added by the NSA through subterfuge or coercion in order to enable illegal warrantless surveillance", which I find much more concerning than publicly-known processes with (at least in theory) established due process like CALEA wiretaps.

> You're better off treating it as untrusted and using your own encryption on top (eg. Signal).

But yes, this is a sensible approach to the world-as-it-currently-is.

Interesting! It was my understanding that TSA Precheck was lumped in with Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI, all of which make up DHS'/CBP's Trusted Traveler Programs [1] [2]. I have Global Entry, so have not used the TSA Precheck enrollment flow (I steer those who ask to Global Entry, as it's only $15 more over 5 years vs Precheck and gives you everything TSA Precheck does but also CBP expedited clearance benefits at the US border). I'll have to do more research, thanks for pointing this out.

Interestingly enough, the TSA Jobs portal does use Login.gov. [3]

I don't know if you're being deliberately obtuse, because that's exactly what I said in my last comment. I'm arguing that 'not exploiting a sentient being under one's control to the point of death' is a low standard consistent with all kinds of terrors.

I'm assuming you weren't just randomly throwing your comment into the cybervoid. The person to whom you responded said that Amazon employees might prefer a company where 'workers aren't driven like some beast working a field' - implying that they are treated as such at Amazon. You suggested that beasts aren't treated so badly by their masters, which following the analogy, suggests that Amazon workers aren't treated so badly. I'm countering that suggestion.
That's not a definition I would agree with. Completely broken to me, in the context of API's at least, means it doesn't do at all what it is supposed, or documented, to do.

A file server which claims to store files for late retrieval but saves all incoming files to /dev/null is completely broken from the user POV, while it's likely not beyond repair.
This doesn’t seem plainly like a request to attack people, if that’s what you mean? The language used suggests defending from harm caused by people, not attacking the people themselves. People who tweet things like this often believe that celebrities being publicly bigoted (assume that they believe this, even if you don’t) enables physically violent bigotry from other people (non-celebrities) through elite consensus. In that view, I think this tweet is more understandable, though it’s still not something I would say.
War is a continuation of politics by other means. But diplomacy is a continuation of war by other means. And now verbal bullying is a continuation of violence by other means.

That's the key point right there. The target audience is the Racket community, who do know who these people are. No one is out to ruin Felleisen's career, he will be fine no matter what.

> far worse than living in countries where the state run media

like Germany where the state run channel today broadcasted a special on refugees from 1945 of WWII Nazi victims or immigrants from ex Yugo or Vietnamese boat people that came to Germany? Unlike most of continetial Europe Britain and the US never have faced up to their colonial and oppressive past. This is what makes them regressive and backward societies.

News are problematic all around the world but the US population gobbling up the garbage from Murdoch or Bezos enterprises stands out by constantly talking about "patriotism" or how somebody is "un-American" ... just check how many people on LinkedIn have an American flag in their profile or how many times the word "patriotism" is mentioned by Americans on Social Media.

This mentality is a lot closer to China or the DPRK than any civilized society and is a sign of heavily propagandized[1] population.

I'm not sure this is a valid line of thinking. The privacy policy is a contract; there's a reason they email their users when they change it, with the expectation that users who disagree with the new policy will stop using the service.

And as it stands, the current privacy policy gives them the ability to mine emails for ads. Even if they say in other non-contractual (?) channels that they don't do it right now, there would be nothing stopping them from doing it anyway. A user who has agreed to that privacy policy must conservatively assume the worst.

The rest of the policy is quite verbose about what data is collected and what it's used for. It doesn't seem like brevity was the goal when creating that document, nor should it have been when the document in question is a privacy policy.

Telsa is running out of ways to keep their stock going. Musk used some market manipulation to squeeze shorts, which propped up their stock price. Then there was the inclusion in the S&P500, which opened up the floodgates from retail investors who are forced to throw a portion of their retirement at Tesla. That helped for a while. Now it looks like they are trading/manipulating crypto prices in an effort to keep their stock price going.

Telsa has absolutely defied the doubters. But I think they've reached the end of their bag of tricks. This crypto stuff might float them for another year or two, but eventually, the market is going to demand real revenue proportional to the value of the stock. When that happens, the fall is going to be epic. I wouldn't be surprised if stock plunge -> removal from S&P500 -> delisting -> private buyout at 1/1,000 of current price happens in the span of two months.
> So 81,604 lines for src/core vs 17,263 for OpenRC. So why does systemd need 677,446 lines of C code in its entire tree if src/core is 81,604 lines?

Do you want a real comprehensive answer to this? You can just skim through the code to systemd to see what it's doing. Just in my experience, systemd has a lot more features than openrc; you could also read their respective documentation to get a full picture of what they do differently. All the other additional lines are for other optional daemons.

I have been using systemd in debian for years and nobody I know has needed to pay Red Hat. That's just not really how open source works at the distro level. To the contrary, I've seen a good number of debian users/developers contributing their expertise upstream to systemd, as well as fedora users, arch users, etc.

The reason why this is important is that deflation can lead to a vicious cycle that you cannot get out of so the preference is controlled inflation over time.
Unfortunately, very often it's not lead-free.
I've got five kids. The more I loosen up and let the kids take risks and learn for mistakes the better. The challenge is when the adults inject a ridiculous level of risk to something that should be a learning experience. For example, allowing police to arrest and charge a child for bad behavior at school (i.e. won't obey the teacher, outbursts - not for actually criminally violent behavior). Another is lifetime academic and other records. When risk is too high, learning stops and risk avoidance takes over.
> which was more than likely caused by science

This is absolutely not true. There's zero evidence of a lab leak.
No, but I do things to actively limit distractions.

I use an alternative launcher on Android called Action Launcher. It supports configurable focus modes I can use to lock down different groups of at certain times of the day. I just don't bother with going to socials, or hn on my mobile browser I guess it's never become a habit. So it works for me to lock the apps down when I'm working.

In the past I've gone the route of uninstalling social apps. Now, I have them installed but I renamed the shortcuts and prevent them from showing up in any "recently used" list. No place on my home screens so the only way to launch Facebook is to open the app list and search for "garbage", etc.

I use Tasker and plugins for a few things. I use Tasker's native ability to do things like turn on battery saver mode by default when I move away from my home wifi. This naturally puts some limits on how much things can run in the background, and it improves my battery charge throughout the day.

With Tasker I also use plugins like Auto Notification to set up rules to block notifications from all social apps during the main working hours of the day. Doesn't help to have "garbage" showing up in notifications without any effort on my part. It's always interesting to open the Facebook app later in the afternoon and see just how many notifications have piled up that would have tried barging into my working concentration.

I don't want to completely remove these apps from my phone since I use it as a private / social tool in the evenings and weekends.

I need to use it for music and work, for my sanity, and I'd rather not have to fund a completely separate device for that. So, I jump through hoops trying to bend them to my will.

Responses like yours are one of the biggest reasons that people often allow such abuse to continue.

They know that even if they’re privileged white males etc, that there will still be people like you whose first reaction is to question the veracity of the accusation, and to implicitly side with the accused unless solid proof is provided.

Your cause for doubt (surely something would have been done if he was really this bad) shows naïveté on your side. People rarely hold powerful abusers to account; there’s so much downside to doing so, and comparatively little upside.

I respect the poster for being honest, even though he surely painted a target on his back, and will face more hostility than if he had remained quiet.

On cellular level too! I remember looking at some summarising paper on Duchenne muscular dystrophy for educational purposes. There was a question regarding concentration of certain molecule inside affected muscle cells. 5 papers were quoted - 3 were showing that the concentration is way above normal if DMD is present while other 2 were showing complete opposite. You can not imagine anything like that in math or physics.

Whether you agree with them or not, they are literally quoting TFA there.

Beats me, I'm just complaining about the spurious "belittling others" accusation.

Why are you asking me that and not moocowtruck? They're the one who implied it would.

While it is really more of a mid-size agency at 1000-ish folks, there are typically also a number of career execs managing each of the divisions to help assist the executive in delivering on their vision for the organization. Further, the FTC is a commission, so while the Commissioner is technically the head of the org, all of the other commissioners also have their roles day to day.

Personally, I think 32 is an OK age for such an appointment, especially if you have background in relevant subject matter. For many of these appointments you're looking for someone to set direction / mission, rather than micromanagement if the org is already functioning at a relatively high level (FTC is #2 ranked employer for mid-sized agencies which tells me they're doing OK by that standard).

I'm all for taking the high road and not escalating but sometimes, with people like this person appears to be, you have to get in their face when they attack you. They perversely respect that.
it is. mainstream diets will tell you:

* saturated fats are bad (lies told us by a crappy Ancel Keys study, promoted for decades by processed food companies (like Kellogs) ran by Seventh Day Adventists who were convinced "meat led man to dangerous impulses and temptation")

* polyunsaturated fats are good. The American Heart Assocation had an article up for years that went as far as to claim Omega6s are heart healthy. They only recently took it down this year. But we know they're inflammatory and we know we're consuming 25-100x more Omega6s than we ever would before the industrial invention of seed-oils being shoved into every product imaginable (bread, cereal, granola, anything that comes in a box, feed given to animals meant for meat production) here's a webmd article on it: https://www.webmd.com/heart/news/20090126/expert-panel-omega...
\

* sunlight creates high cancer risk (ignoring that cancer is unlikely, treatment if caught early has a high survival rate, and the risk of not having vitamin d throughout your life risks far more likely autoimmune issues, depression, anxiety and even certain cancers and inflammatory disease).

* sugar is good for you. Sure, they'll specify processed sugars are bad for you or "added sugar", but common wisdom will accept a NET (subtract fiber) 200-300g carb diet as acceptable. Grain is still often listed as the most important and largest part of the food pyramid.

The reality is - all mainstream health advice, including that which you'll get from your doctor who got a whole single nutrition class in school, ensures that processed foods don't loose business on the front end and the medical/pharma industries don't lose money on the back end.

even in the push for a more vegetarian/blue-zone diet world - they're doing so by promoting meat alternatives like "Beyond Meat" which is chock full of so much seed oil and other processed substances, it's mainstreaming vegetarianism-as-fast-food. McDonald's burger.. is still a McDonald's burger and you shouldn't be eating it.

If a factory isn't making it at scale, shoving it in a box, branding it and ensuring you don't have to spend any time making/cooking/preparing whole, fresh foods (those pesky things that tend to have short shelf lives and are costly to Ag businesses), then your PCP, the government, most food businesses, your medical insurance company, absolutely no one of any kind of "authority" isn't going to promote it highly.

They'll do ANYTHING except remove seed oils. They'll make your potato chips out of broccoli and carrots and still drench them in sunflower or canola oil. They'll reduce the salt. they'll make shit out of beets. And still manage to make it horrible for you.

The MSM regurgitates "health" info regarding diets in a way that acts as advertising for these orgs.
The rules being defined would attempt to be useful, I'm sure. I'm curious if they actually are. So many things are done socially with good intentions that people just assume are working. Society is complicated though. As I understand it, well meaning, reasonable actions don't always have the intended outcomes.

Now I'm certainly not claiming a CoC has unintended outcomes, but surely as often as I see them recommended (and at times even demanded), I would hope there exists decent evidence of their usefulness.
It very much depends. You have to try and measure it. Sometimes it makes things slower even.

In general it's one tool in the toolbox and never the first one reached for.
I think the point is that I haven't seen anything to imply that Adichie is transphobic. This is taken from her Wikipedia page:

> In 2017, Adichie was criticized by some as transphobic, initially for saying that "my feeling is trans women are trans women."[44][9] Adichie later further clarified her statement, writing "that there is a distinction between women born female and women who transition, without elevating one or the other, which was my point. I have and will continue to stand up for the rights of transgender people."

Now granted, there may be more to the story that I am not aware of, but stating that there actually are differences between "women born female and women who transition" shouldn't be considered transphobic, it should be considered acknowledging reality.
