When gossip, public shaming, and excommunication are commonplace, what's said in private matters a lot.

Heresy - questioning the orthodoxy of today's doctrines - carries a high punishment these days.
For its part, hiQ uses the data for products that analyze employee skills or alert employers when they could be looking for a new job.

Interesting that they've made a business out of this. I've always maintained to my colleagues that when I see a bunch of LinkedIn activity from them, I can tell that they're putting themselves on the job market.
Closed devices and App Stores will never have secure communication. Ever.
I have reMarkable 2 and I think it is brilliant, however it has one deal breaker that is there is no encryption on the device. If you lose it, you risk your documents landing in a bad actor hands.
One may say it's the same with actual paper - sure, but reMarkable 2 can store much more data than a suitcase of documents.

Then I have no idea whether documents on their cloud are encrypted and who has access to it beside myself.

So reMarkable has become an expensive paperweight.

I saw some people tried to get encrypted fs working, don't how well that works though.

I wrote an email to support about this and I never got any reply. Says all...
Jan has a PhD in a science (geo I think), and has done bike experiments with Jim Papadapolis. I would generally take his experiments over most random ones cited on the net.

Gospel truth? No. Probably not. Generally pretty good if you look at what he’s actually testing? I think so.

(Disclaimer, Jan was a teammate 25 years ago, and apart from not having talked since then, I’d consider him a friend)
I used to be a kernel developer at Apple starting in 2006. Internally, every alternate major release was exactly this. All common paths were identified, and most of the dev time on the release was spent on optimizing those features to hit a goal for the path. Eg. moving 100 files in finder should not take more than x ms

I agree, the more code spreads and becomes accessible the more programmers are needed. I believe no-code/low-code will grow but it won’t eliminate programmers, it will just create a new strata. I think the new challenge will be to distinguish between all the different types of programmers in a meaningful way. How do you classify the business analyst who codes using visual languages vs. the data scientist scripting python vs. the javascript web developer vs. c++ systems developer vs. embedded developer, etc.”Programmer” - “software engineer” are starting to become too non-specific.
The latest kindles are great with pdfs, that was my main use for them in grad school. I haven't tried the newer eink tablets though
I don't understand why that would be weird. Romania had(has?) black sites for the CIA, hosting a server for the FBI isn't strange.
Clearly you are not a physicist. Just because you don't personally know sth does not mean it's not there or being worked on.

The theory of relativity has quite clear thoughts about why there is a "speed limit". Entire branches of physics ponder about why and when electrons and other particles came about.

The shrugging "Don't know, we just noticed it." that you ascribe to scientists' reactions does not match reality.
I pre-ordered the Remarkable 1 and ended up returning it due to buggy software and the battery life not performing as advertised (had to recharge literally every day). I pre-ordered the Remarkable 2 when it came out because it was much more affordable.

I've had it since November and have used it virtually every day. It's light and portable and I think I've charged it three times since November. They've definitely improved their software a lot and I love the OSS community around it.

The only feature I wish it had was full text search on my notes. But I and willing toive without it as I want a lower tech solution for note taking that is still portable.
Remember the CTS Labs thing where some Israelis from across the hall from Intel’s facility there did a giant smear job on a fake AMD vulnerability and then Bloomberg picked it up? The same Bloomberg who sells little information services which people are supposed to rely on as conveying factual information?
Lack of computer features is refreshing to be honest. You can't be distracted just like sitting in front of blank page of paper.

That being said, a deal breaker for me is lack of encryption.
I use the Boox with papers (so almost only PDFs) on the internal reader and on Android readers; it works really well. In the end I keep using the internal reader because it has split view for me to scribble notes next to every page. Disclaimer: I am older with glasses but not reading glasses; I read fine with incredibly small fonts; I prefer it that way. So YMMV but for me and for PDFs it is an ideal device for sure. If the built-in reader is not good enough, you just get one from the Play Store; there are enough very good ones there.

No, I didn’t say the experience would be pointless. I said it doesn’t indicate that every single police department is corrupt or unhelpful.

I’m really not sure what you are trying to get across.

It was accidentally leaked that the UK GCHQ had provided intelligence about the US perpetrators of the Times Square 2010 car bomb attack, so it probably does happen.

Although the US ANOM data wasn't sent to the FBI, presumably a foreign agency could see that data and tell the FBI which US citizens might be involved in illegal activity so they can be monitored/investigated in other ways.
Almost there.. each network has its own decentralized exchange where you can swap and buy tokens. We are just missing contracts for derivatives such as futures and leverage trading.
I'm really glad I bought my ReMarkable2 (and Marker "Plus"), as it suits my use case extremely well: replacing stacks of 8.5x11" graph notepads, while adding digitization / sync, undo/redo, select/cut/paste/resize/move, (modest) pan/zoom, etc. Battery life and form factor are great. The writing UX is really something: low-latency, ~perfect hand detection, and the "feel" of writing. Yeah, the software's mediocre, but it's gotten noticeably better since I bought it ~6mo ago. And it's still early days. The OSS community did wonders for the RM1, and I expect RM2 to follow suit. It's not a do-anything kind of device (I absolutely love my Kindle Oasis for reading) but for me it was easily worth the $.
> There was no intermediate release that could run both python2 and python3 code.

Right, but would that have helped? Transitioning a large codebase from Python2 to Python3 is a significant undertaking, there's no way around it.

As I understand it there are dedicated tools to help migrate Python code, but it's still no small thing if you're dealing with a large codebase. Perhaps it would have been helpful to have an interpreter that supported the union of both languages, but I don't see that this would have changed things from significantly costly down to no big deal. It would make the process more incremental, but it would still represent significant work. There are legitimate reasons people don't want to have to modify large stable codebases.

(To be clear, I haven't had to do this personally, but that seems to be the sentiment of people who have.)

C++, on the other hand, goes to considerable lengths to preserve backward compatibility, at the cost of accumulating complexity.
Ask during the interview what is the worst bits of their code base, and if they'll show you. Having a discussion about what to change and how it might get changed is a great way to assess a candidate and for a candidate to assess an employer.

For hiring managers out there, it could even be something you've already refactored and you can pull up the older version of it.

I think a combination of both is optimal. Spend too long communicating exclusively through async text, and silly misunderstandings can waste a lot of time and even grow into features that no one actually wants. Spend too long communicating exclusively through meetings etc, and you end up going round in circles without committing to anything. Alternate between the two modes, and they correct each other.
I notice whenever police are brought up some people just desperately want to blame them for something.

E-Mail and Python notebooks? I don't think they these are the primary use cases for a "digital paper" device.

What you consider an "overengineered piece" of paper might be intentional. Maybe you don't need paper - some people do.

2)

Some people have work issued laptops and know nothing about computers. They might be working remotely for a call centre nowadays, very common - so no, you can't install any tools on those. And even if you could I know many parents who wouldn't let their children install anything on their work machines as if that stops working they will get in trouble at work.
But why is a high stock value the ultimate goal?

Shouldn't the goal be producing tech that's beneficial?

Yes, you can get a random PC that is faster than a Raspi for cheaper. But it is a random used PC which you have to individually set up. Not counting that it is much larger, usually not portable and needs more electricity.

The Raspberry Pi 400 is a pretty much usable desktop computer out of the box which you can buy as a complete set for 100€ new, including a nice book. It is also very nice to use as it is compact, very portable and doesn't need more than an USB power supply.

In comparison it is very easy to grab an used screen, as the screen doesn't need to be set up. In addition, the Pi works well with a current TV. Brings back the best of the home computer age in the 80ies.
In a lot of cases, end users are just providing a replacement for things they did manually, and badly, with emails, spreadsheets, and attachments.

The most common pattern I see implemented is a request, tracking, and approval flow. For things like time off, or borrowing equipment, or volunteering for some duty, etc.
If I was an ANOM user in the US, I think I'd be keeping a very low profile at the moment.
Moreover, Debian Stable has a 24H security fix deadline, which voluntarily forces them to fix a lot of security holes pretty quickly.

Don't they back port security fixes to stable branch too? I'm a testing user, so I don't follow Stable's package updates very closely.
Apple have 13" models so it's fair to include in comparison IMO.

Maybe things are better when comparing the 15" XPS vs 16" MBP but I believe the WiFi chip and precision touchpad hardware/drivers are the same. The shipping of "incomplete" BIOS(es) and coil whine are also applicable AFAIK.
Even the Chancellor herself feels that pressure to avoid observing things that are in front of everyone’s face, though in classic Merkel fashion she is not cowed: https://www.foxnews.com/world/angela-merkel-admits-that-no-g...

> German Chancellor Angela Merkel made a major concession to Europe's populist movement this week when she admitted the existence of so-called “no-go zones” in Germany.

> Despite evidence of the existence of areas in Western countries, European leaders and left-wing media commentators have long denied, and sometimes even mocked, those who claim that no-go zones exist.

> “It means for example that there cannot be any no-go areas, that there cannot be areas where no-one dares to go but there are such places,” she said. “One has to call them by name and do something about it.”
> I hope there's a good postmortem on this in 5-10 years that explains what on earth all this nonsense is about, because it makes literally no sense.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for that. Even for those of us who are directly involved in it, it doesn't make much sense at all.

By this point, the remaining explanation is "Andrew went completely unhinged after his attempt to fulfill his childhood dream of owning Freenode went to hell".
What is the reason to pick IRC?

It's technically far inferior to anything including the ones you can self host.

I focus more on how much time and autonomy you have to improve it. All software shops have their own unique warts. What really matters is whether they are getting better.
HotOS is not considered to have the same rigor as other more prestigious journals. It’s often used for preliminary results or viewpoint papers, IIYUC.
> I think A is fundamentally impossible. A backlit display is always going to look different to a reflective surface.

Not all LCDs are backlit. Some are purely reflective or 'transflective' (eg. the screen used on the old Gameboy.) That's not to say they look like paper now but it's not 100% impossible.

Edit: Also the screen used on the Pebble Time watches looks reasonably close to a colour print-out with the backlight off. These are a "memory LCD" made by JDI (although they were somewhat confusingly marketed as "e-paper" despite being an LCD.)
This must be bullshit, in some way or another. Sure—you shouldn’t just come out and advocate the death penalty for homosexuals. But I don’t believe 81% are in favor of something like that. And anything less drastic, I don’t see much hesitation to express those views in public.

In fact the last 18 months have seen weekly protests professing a host of views that I had considered extinct.

…and, of course, HN eats it up.
> What's said in private is a classic "they said, I said". It's not a legal danger.

This is false, even if we limit ourselves to only legal danger. If you say something to two people, and one of them repeats your words to the police, the police can easily ask the second person for confirmation. Add a few vague "lying to the police is very serious" threats, and there's a good chance the second person will betray you.
In Sweden at 2000, there were a couple of students that made a software to Volvo that could detect if the driver was tired. This driver alert system was the first in the world.

Both students were not employees of Volvo, but still forced to register the system to Volvos internal system for innovation and got 122 000 SEK (15 k $).

2014 they got help from Swedish engineers for a lawsuit towards Volvo cars about 8,7 million sek/student (around 1 million $) for the system (about 3% of the worth of the sales system). Now the lawsuit was drawn back and they did meet on a secret sum from the company and both are today employees of Volvo.

With that said, from what I can see the Academia/Chalmers did not try to take any % of the cut.

Older ads were far less powerful. They also couldn't embed themselves into your everyday life so much. "Hey Google, ..."/"Alexa, ..."/"Siri, ..." is an exercise in brand reinforcement every time you want to ask your smart assistant about something. At one point, I creeped myself out by realising that my first instinct is to call out "Hey Google" when I need something, even if I'm away from my Google Home.

The Juice Media are satirical journalists, but as far as I can tell all the satire is contained to the presentation, not the facts. The Daily Show is not independent, so putting them in the same bag as The Juice Media doesn't seem fair.
You’re loose with your definition of a third. If you play C to E and E to G you will notice they are not the same distance.
The solution is not to build more highways and roads, as much as many people hate to hear that. Basically as soon as it is made slightly easier and faster to drive, people will adjust by driving more.

There are quite a few instances where an already large interstate has been increased in size and the traffic got /worse/ after the fact. Cars just aren't an efficient way to move people around for the money they cost.

I'm genuinely curious if things are going to start swinging back in the other direction where there is more focus on other transportation modes outside of cars. There have been some small scale rail expansions in larger cities, some intercity rail lines opening (brightline) and being built (california high speed rail). It hasn't been enough to hit a sort of tipping point yet though.
Did you also think “l can then use their personal information to target ads and make $billions!” I wager you did not, because you’re probably not as depraved as some.
Yeah so under Stasi a lot of people had to be careful with certain topics as well.
Does not make sense to me. It might not have the "same" risks, but it could have entirely different risks, which we don't know.

So does not make sense to exclude them (in law) from being reported.

Showing your own ignorance here.

Where do electrons come from? Or any of the other fundamental particles. Please, enlighten the world of science.

"Fundamental constant" means "we don't know why it has that value, we just noticed it does"

You're proving my point, people don't like science because folks like you make it seem filled with all knowing experts when really the most fundamental questions are not answered
I was one of the supporters for the first remarkable and pre-ordered with a bundle with case for $350 (I think) which seemed pretty expensive but I really wanted to support businesses developing these larger scale e-paper tablets.

The battery life was really bad in the first software versions but seems to be a lot better now.

I use it for recipes (I like to write my own version out even when working from a cookbook so that I can modify), UX sketches, and most recently I’ve joined a bookclub and has been great to highlight passages and write notes in the margin for discussion.

Overall it’s been useful, but the early bad experiences with battery life/power management really turned me away from more consistent use (after a couple meetings where it powered down and had to go back to my desk to grab a paper pad).

Would be curious to hear from
anyone who got RM2 after RM1 and what their battery life difference has been!
I go for a walk. It often is just a short walk outside, but does not have to be. I'll walk around the house, say hi to my family, or sometimes even just stand up and meander around my office for a few minutes. As long as I am up and moving.

I think security architecture evolved a bit, so a simple rewrite is probably not worth it. Question is if more modern approaches are indeed better. Mobile devices convince me otherwise.
You are apparently unable to recognise an honest evaulation when you see one. I've read the article you linked, and others. They all make statements like "evidence suggests", which is barely the first rung on the ladder of being able to make any conclusion from the study of a particular phenomenon.

If I had enthusiastically queued up to get vaccinated as soon as I was able where I live, I would have received a treatment (AstraZenica vaccine) that has since been withdrawn from my age group. Tell me how my caution has not been justified.

Just for fun - what governments have followed the "most obvious path"? There aren't many left, of the supposed golden list everyone liked to promote last year. Vietnam - apparently a fine example of what happens when we "all just wear a mask" - after months with deaths oddly flatlined at 35, they are now experiencing a dramatic rise in cases over the past few weeks. South Korea - has now been experiencing increases in deaths and cases over the last few months. The stats for Australia look good, but they continue to live under draconian measures, and have gained a reputation for allowing the rich and famous (including sports players) to publicly flout the rules. It's a similar story in New Zealand, and those last two countries also enjoy unique geographical and demographic situations not shared by many others (remote, sparsely-populated island nations).
Most bugs that get backported to stable kernels only get backported if they are serious enough or have a CVE assigned to them. Many bugs with potential security implications go unfixed because of this.
The ones who get bit by the programming bug have their whole lives to be annoyed by the hassles of computer ownership, upgrades, etc.

But most won’t keep programming, so I think it’s smart to at least keep this class focused on its purpose, which isn’t to see who can get most frustrated by their decade old Dell tower.
Ok, if we take this as given then non-Chromium is dead. Yikes. I'm not convinced it's a lost cause yet, but yes it looks like a very plausible future imo.

Assuming that then, if we want healthy web standards then it sounds like the only option is to shut down Firefox et al ASAP (or make it another chromium wrapper) and spend that engineer time & money instead getting involved in these specs and Chromium development to try and provide non-Google input and ideas, and somehow transform Chromium itself into a community endeavour. If there's an inevitable chromium monopoly then that seems like the only choice. Unless something else blocks the chromium monopoly, e.g. Google antitrust of some sort, but that doesn't seem imminent (for Chrome specifically).

A somewhat bleak future, but if this becomes inevitable then that seems like the best option unfortunately.
