That’s terrible. I’m sorry to hear that that happened to you.

I think his taking that away from the film and applying it toward you probably had more to do with the worldview he was being exposed to at home than the Indiana Jones movie itself.
Information is power. The more information about more people with more depth to the graph is amassed by Big Tech and 3-letter agencies, the more soft power is accrued over large groups of people, economies, processes and even nations.

And this ability is currently asymmetric. While Big Tech and Big Govt knows nearly everything about everybody, ordinary citizens are denied data and transparency. And even if the data may be hypothetically available, its scale precludes analysis by anyone except highly funded groups.

Lack of privacy does translate to enormous soft power. It doesn't have to result in death, although the potential is there for that too. Democracy and individual liberty become meaningless except on paper.

I'm not sure that's what we want, in exchange for a few conveniences in the palm of our hands.

The big problem is that 2 is true.

A founder’s perspective on 4 years with Haskell (2016)
The vast majority of Android users are also not going to sideload illegal apps currently.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that trying to restrict users from installing software of their choice on their own computing device is user-hostile, but in this specific scenario, users sideloading apps banned by their government, I don't think having to open a command line to do it would significantly shrink that userbase, which is already comprised of a small minority of particularly committed people.

But all of this is moot regardless, because AFAIK this doesn't extend beyond the realm of speculation.
in the 90s, we had a 'big cookie' scare. and laws were threatened (or passed?). And... MUCH of this came down to ... managing cookies (or other browser state) was (and is) largely so damn hidden behind layers of configs, menus and options.

We have a home button. We have forward and back. We have 'bookmark' buttons, which many people understand. A big 'COOKIE' button, on the main browser UI, that clearly show cookie info, with a big "GET RID OF ALL COOKIES" trashcan button right there.... that would have prevented 90+% of the scare and legislation efforts from the start.

I looked for "clear my cookies" - in 2021, it's still click '3 dots' or something else, then click something, then click something, then confirm. https://its.uiowa.edu/support/article/719

"But there's so much nuance - I want to keep some, and not others, etc".

We didn't have this many choices in 1998. My point is giving a big honking "get rid of it all" back then would have changed the trajectory of the entire discussion. It still might.

I've lived through 2 decades of having to deal with support people trying to help users "clear your cache" or "reset your cookies". "Private mode" does help to a degree, assuming you're dealing with somewhat tech-savvy folks.
We dont, but we act like we do - Most doctors will try SSRI first despite most knowing they only work for about a third and most doctors will refuse to treat depression using non SSRI antidepressant medication.
The Truth About Marketing Courses (A Growth Hacker's POV)
nope

it's not the end of paper, folks. just another tech dude waxing lyrical.
Stoicism is actually similar to Buddhism in some ways. However, it is about being content. Rich means that you don't want anything else other than you own. This is being content. Stoics say that you have your mind and "reason"; which is the most important thing you can own. Therefore, why do you want some other things? Especially, if its not in your control.
The irony is that spinning rust is everything but ;) Most platters are made of glass, or maybe aluminum.

5G operates on a number of frequency bands. The lower ones are similar to 4G, the higher ones are indeed quite high, which means not so great penetration through walls.

5G is designed to be flexible in that it can accommodate very high throughput , very high capacity, very low latency, very high reliability, depending on the use case.

Really, very high throughput on mobile devices is not key in 5G. It's more about capacity, latency, reliability in order to cater for IOT, self-driving vehicles, remote operation, for instance.

For IOT, you probably would use the lower bands because you probably need lower throughput but high capacity and potentially high reliability: The problem is not to stream 4K videos to sensors or energy meters but to be able to support 10x or 100x more devices connected at the same time (which 4G cannot do).

I'm somewhat depressed by how explicitly Lego is marketing towards 30-something man-children who build things to put them on the shelf.

The worst part is that this model-kit design style is spilling over and infecting their actual toy themes. It's harder for kids to repurpose a set that's built 40% out of small tiles and cheese wedges and little greebly bits.
Personal savings usually go into real estate and conservative savings instruments (savings account with minuscule interests payments, life insurance). Public pensions are just part of the regular money flow of the State. Taxes come in from the employed, budget goes out to the retired.
Nothing, but there's no need for that, because there's nothing stopping them from paying her 2x for the same position, based on the actual skills and experience someone has.

You can totally pay people different wages under these laws for the same position, if they are better at their job, you just have to show that that's why.

A pretty decent overview of the scope of the product.

As mentioned in the video, the service also is involved if your app does HTTP over port 80, offering at least some marginal level of improvement. Otherwise it leaves your app traffic as is.

As to Mail, the linked comment mentions that but I don't remember it being a part of the solution (nor does it seem feasible that it could be). Apple offers privacy improvements in mail, but not via the private relay.

We don't believe single-player use should be monetised anyway, that just creates the wrong incentives for us.

This exactly. This is also why I never feel "ashamed" when sites ask me to please disable my ad blocker because when I block ads they'll go out of business. Or why I'll always decline even "user respecting" ads on sites.

That's when a full rebuild can be justified.

I'm doing that atm, but I think my predecessor lacked the humility to admit that his code was bad, which is how it went up to 150K of code that basically concatenates XML, converts it to JSON and concatenates HTML on the front-end from the result.

That’s better, because it suggests four times out of four, the decision to leave and timing was yours rather than “seven times out of nine [four listed], the change was employer-initiated”.

None of these are signals that I rely on as binary go/no-go gates; the main point was “just because you got other employers to pay you for a short while, that’s not standalone evidence that you can deliver business value through working software”.

I don’t believe in jobs-for-life, “putting in your time”, “paying your dues”, “never quit before 2 years”, or other nonsense advice, but if you’ve never had a long stint at a place, at minimum you’ve never seen the pain from your decisions 24 months prior play out and the maximum negative case is far worse.
As another thought experiment, if someone else decides one day to start impersonating you, what is it that makes them not actually you? Their memories? Just the fact that you're still there?
If there were Roman stories of reaching a land across the sea that sounded a lot like North America, then you'd be right.
You're in the wrong abstraction layer. There are a whole bunch of intervening levels between the layer where you've imagined that you "need to verify them as well" and the layer where the "hard drive controller" that you don't trust lives.

Those layers may conceal a real problem (if there is one) so that you can't see it even though it exists, or they can create problems, which you will then mistakenly blame on the "hard drive controller" even if it was not at fault.

So you've created a situation where you can at best confuse yourself into not understanding what's actually going on, and at worst satisfy yourself nothing is wrong when actually there's a catastrophe awaiting you. The worst of all worlds.
My experience with this so far was... mixed.

- This breaks DNS resolution for company-internal domains.

- This routes all my traffic through CloudFlare or another CDN I might or might not trust (yes, the IP is hidden, but not the data)

- it significantly slows down my internet access on my location.

- it tends to turn itself on again without my intervention

especially the last point is very problematic for me
> but large companies decided to ignore it and simply face the fines if they in some hypothetical future will arrive.

This is not the case. The fines are up to 2% of annual global turnover. This scares companies.

Moreover, some of the worst offending cookie banners are slowly being replaced by better ones as more and more organizations (such as noyb) file official complaints and companies get fined.
Maybe their birth rates are so close to the replacement rate they don't feel an urgent need to spread out from a given star system very quickly. Or maybe they have modified their sensibilities to prefer fully exploiting an existing system before moving on to a new one. But yeah these parameters do not seem realistic.

Those people who lie about the time they plan to work for the company, will also lie about their motivations.

My point was, that I want honesty on both sides. Otherwise it is coporate bullshit to me.

"would have told you it was just for the money, but it was actually for the stability and peace of mind to not worry where my next rent check was coming from."

Yeah well, thats another way of saying you mainly want to work for the money.

And about the "real answer":

"I want to build great things in a team and I am aware that every organisation has problems it needs to overcome, to succeed, which usually require the ability to make compromises. And I am willing to make the necessary compromises, for a successful project."

Which is actually my honest opinion, but I don't need any hypocrite bullshit. I only would put up with it, if the pay is adequate. And starting by having to fake my motivation, would mean a higher expected compensation from my side.
its all linked. you can't just gift stuff without destroying much of economic organization and ownership concepts etc. you can't get local production going without owning the problem of corrupt local elites (which most likely you educated in your own image) etc...

Ok… heard of Kublai Khan? Part of the mongol empire circa 1200s preceding the colonial powers existence by a good 500-600 years… That was the Yuan Dynasty (in china) and they conquered a whole lot more than modern day china.

Now since Yuan, you’ve had Ming and Qing… neither of which were particularly aggressive outside of their borders… and Qing was of course the start of the Opium wars, where the colonial powers essentially raped china for all its resources.

With regard to your strange Naval quip. You should look up the Chinese treasure ship. (Ming dynasty)… predates the colonials naval power.

So which Chinese in particular would you like me to read about? Everything you said is factually incorrect. To a laughable degree. I recommend you watch Marco Polo on Netflix, it’d teach you something.

"They want you to associate them with privacy, and conclude that privacy laws are pointless and should be repealed."

Once in a while I read/learn something new at HN that changes my perspective on things. This sentence is such an example.
I have been told by my commercial HVAC contractor not to use the fancy high MERV filters either as air handler systems are not designed to filter air, so if the filter is too good, it restricts air flow so much that it can cause stain on the system.

If you want to filter air, buy a separate air filter, and let the air handler just handle heating and cooling (if that is what it is designed for).
So there's two things to talk about here.

First, the language can't save you from getting the program semantics wrong (e.g. if you never delete an entry from a hashmap even after you're done with it, you're leaking that memory). No language can save you from leaks as a general concept.

Second, Rust makes a very specific promise — freedom from data races. Leaking resources does not actually break that promise, because it doesn't allow you to access that resource any more.
You want to avoid cookies entirely so that you don't need a cookie policy and that you don't need a cookie banner.

It's also significantly easier to convince a lawyer that you don't need these things if you can prove that there are no cookies whatsoever. And even then they'll be suspicious.

It's harder than it looks, just embedding a YouTube video for example already sets third-party cookies. Same with embedding a Twitter feed or Google Analytics. There are solutions for all of these things, but the standard/easy way of doing these things means your user gets a third-party cookie, which means you need the banner.

> The more information about more people with more depth to the graph is amassed by Big Tech and 3-letter agencies, the more soft power is accrued over large groups of people, economies, processes and even nations.

Is there any evidence that Big Tech and Big Government are actually controlling people by tagging them in some database (which no human actually inspects) as being interested in hiking gear and cookie recipes? Give me a break.

What you've described isn't a concrete harm, but an emotion --- specifically, fear. Lots of fears are baseless. So is this one. We shouldn't organize society around the baseless fears of tiny vocal minorities.

Seems different in kind, not degree. A 3 year old plays with Duplo to make planes and rockets. Yes, art in the sense that drawing on paper is a form of art. But a close to realistic rendering of a soup can that now sells for $millions is / was reflecting back a reductive sense of nostalgia for a premium. Kudos to LEGO for capitalizing for a premium, just a different product for a different consumer that could buy and appreciate an actual typewriter. This consumer centric version of art forms is perhaps the same reflection by which Warhol was dismissed by some early critics. Just not the version of LEGO that reflects the endless design iterations in any one box.

As to trusting Cloudflare -- what do you mean? You understand your connection is still TLS end-to-end encrypted (presuming that's what we're talking about), right? I mean...presuming the site your talking to isn't using Cloudflare SSL. In no way does this reduce that security. If you're talking about HTTP, well everyone in between can already see that.
The thing we're trying to preserve is not the information of ourselves, but the physical brain and spinal column.

I have to disagree. If, while you are sleeping, someone replaced your brain with a processor capable of simulating your brain - whether at the physical level of quarks and electrons or at some higher level of abstraction - and connected it to your spine and whatever else is relevant, you would not even notice the difference until someone tried to image your brain. What makes you you is the information in your brain and its ability to process and update this information, not the brain itself as the substrate that stores the information and provides the ability to modify it.

If everyone looks similar you don't have to worry about trackers identifying individual sessions. In any case, if implemented correctly, both methods will achieve the same results.

Sure, an incomplete implementation of the randomizing method is less trackable than one of the same fingerprint method, but in practice

* even a non-perfect TBB method will protect you against pretty much all trackers

* and the TBB is, as a matter of fact, not fingerprintable on any of these tracking test sites.

Therefore I think saying that it "doesn't work very well" doesn't quite reflect reality (unless you have a good source on that, I might be mistaken here). And if your threat model requires 100% anonymity (which is an entire level above not being tracked by adtech), the only realistic way to achieve that is to disable JavaScript anyway.
Thank you for articulating a concern I have.
