I think we are in agreement and the implementations that can fullfil so what remains is: how can you find the person or group responsible for fixing or getting sued in blockchain land? I can put some malicious code on the eth chain: how will you find it was me. And that is with intent.

But we agree and I will reiterate: without rollback, current human coders cannot write reliable software. So in it's current state, smart contracts are a utopia and no one should trust them, with or without code audit. But if you still want to play a lottery of humanity vs complexity, read the code, think hard and put or not put your money. If you put your money, do not whine after you lost it. You might as well shout at your toilet for the same endresult.

Maybe it helps to host the email server in a less known and maybe a bit more expensive ISP. I have been self hosting my company's emails for 10+ years and even changed IPs halfway (VPS migration). I vaguely remember having to setup DKIM and such when that became a things and never got any deliverability problems since (fingers crossed).

Guys , use private.sh it is super secure . It encrypts your data on client side and then passes the query to gigablast using proxy. Gigablast then decrypts on theit side and rencrypts and send it bscks to you.
This way the proxy cannot see anything the user type and gigablast cannot see real ip adress of the user. private.sh
What a load of nonsense, the analogy to arachnophobia is totally nonsensical.

As for the argument that the medical industry is for profit, well I hate to break it to you, we live in a capitalist system almost everything is for profit. These same anti-vaxxers carry around phones and use apps designed to make you use them, track you and your behaviour etc.

I'm sure you can be anti-vaxx and live off grid but it's strange how many anti-vaxxers use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.

A corollary of your question. If Google can lawfully install arbitrary apps on ordinary users' phones, can it also run arbitrary code on the personal devices of government officials investigating it for price fixing in the ad market?
Maddy is fantastic -- for greater flexibility/ease of deployment, you can pre-provision your DKIM keys as well. Maddy also works wonderfully when combined with other technologies, it's nice, simple and light.

It works great with Haraka[0] on the outside proxying email to maddy instances on the inside. I've also combined it with SES provisioned with Pulumi + k8s[1] (for those on AWS), which is a little bit more involved but is what I use on projects now.

Another entry in this space is chasquid[2] but I've only used/can recommend maddy. Maddy is so good it makes me think anyone could run a hard-multitenant email provider with ease (I'm essentially doing that for each of my projects).

I found the restaurant using the internet usually and then I called. And no I never tended to give my credit card because basically everyone would take payment on delivery. Though honestly I almost always pick up the food myself and almost never use delivery. This I still do today and basically no one asks for payment ahead of time so the whole credit card thing is entirely a moot point.

Now if you specifically want to use delivery services for restaurants that don't want to run their own delivery services, then yeah I guess you'll need a third-party. I tend to pick up so that's never an issue for me, but sure then use these other services.

Anyway none of this is really that important to my main point that I enjoy talking directly to the restaurants. Doing it my way might mean losing certain conveniences like delivery from any restaurant. I'm fine with that. I'd rather speak to a human anyway.
All those are still doable to girls/women that like you. But the trick is that women standards, probably because of Tinder et al., have skyrocketed so the average guy is by default seen as a creep, even by average women. And at the same time women have less to offer than before (few can cook anymore for instance) so the dating scene because really unbalanced. All of this while any masculine behavior is criminalized (soon a consent passeport will be needed to say hello to a woman) and heavily criticized by the media. At some point all of this will have macro-consequences on society.
> you can't start a war lose and then cry that you lost territory. ... That's how countries form, that's how borders are made.

Actually, according to international law, you cannot lose territory by war, even if you started it. I'm sure you think this is absurd, but it really is necessary.

https://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?N...

“Without this absolute prohibition, acquisitive states would have a strong incentive to obfuscate the origins of the territorial acquisition, leading us backwards to the days when borders were impediments to overcome, rather than frontiers to respect.”

Also, once you occupied someone else's territory (necessarily for a temporary period) to transfer your own civilian population in it is a war crime:

https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/eng/docs/v1_rul...

"The prohibition on deporting or transferring parts of a State’s own civilian population into the territory it occupies is set forth in the Fourth Geneva Convention.[1] It is a grave breach of Additional Protocol I.[2] Under the Statute of the International Criminal Court, “the transfer, directly or indirectly, by the Occupying Power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies” constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts."

> They didn't want a Jewish state at all, or be under Jewish rule.

Let's not be disingenuous here. Palestinians could never be part of a Jewish state, because Israel is a Jewish nation and a democracy. It simply cannot include millions of Palestinians as citizens- and I don't mean it as a critique (I also come from a national state formed out of a preexistent ethnic, linguistic and religious unity). It's a matter of fact. Israel wanted the land but not its original population ("the bride and the dowry" - https://www.amazon.com/Bride-Dowry-Israel-Palestinians-After... )

> it's just that most of those countries annihilated the other side long ago so there is almost no one left to hear their voice...

So you think that Jews now have a right to do the evil they didn't get to before, because they didn't have a nation when conquers and pillage were still accepted?
Firstly, for any of the 4 projects that have been announced by Prossimo so far, a garbage collected language would be unsuitable as it would be rejected by almost all current users of the respective projects.

Given that, as you correctly point out there are still lots of options that could be used; for example, Ada/SPARK has been around and freely available via GNAT for a long time.

For example, here is a DNS server implemented in Ada/SPARK: http://ironsides.martincarlisle.com/

Latest download is 5 years old - can you find a single instance of IRONSIDES running in the wild?

IMHO the main advantage that Rust has over other approaches that would technically work to create sufficiently secure software is that it has much lower barriers to entry and a much larger community - the hardest part of getting a technology adopted is marketing, and Rust is currently the only option that can compete with C/C++ here.

There is already some promising work on formalizing the semantics of Rust, see for example https://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/popl18/ and https://people.mpi-sws.org/~jung/phd/thesis-screen.pdf
> I don't think delimited values representing a table in a column can be considered normalized.

The question is what "normalized" means. It does not mean "best practice data modelling" which is a much broader subject.

The article does not say delimited values are good design.
I guess one possible explanation is that having a black box in your plane is not useful to you, only for other people after you die. Pushing for the idea requires accepting you are going to screw up and some people will think that your job is preventing the airplane from crashing in the first place. It's obviously useful in the long term from a societal perspective, not from a short-term and individual point of view.
Strategically, worrying about the low end “worse” competitor is more worthwhile than the higher end competitor. Eg IBM were not undone by a better mainframe.

In Windows’s case the “worse” competitor is ChromeOS and Chromebook, and Microsoft’s basically thrown in the towel when it comes to native apps, so with time everyone who doesn’t need pro Photoshop or AutoCAD could just use a Chromebook.

Note that you can run Word for Android on Chromebooks full-screen already.

I mean it is and it isn't. The main larger points of style are definitely extremely similar. But the smaller tail of tiny stylistic elements are basically never ending (just as with every language). My my English writing is not at the level of fine literature, but it is certainly much closer than my Swedish writing is. But at the same time, if I read well-written Swedish I can identify basically all the finer stylistic points. Overall it's just certainly an issue of practice. Even if I live in Sweden, I still write mostly in English.

This cannot be stated enough. I think just YouTube alone would be enough to justify Google's existence.

Meanwhile Amazon has Twitch, and people there don't seem to think too highly of how things are being managed (they somehow managed to break every single adblock available and at this point have won against adblockers).

Those are good questions without simple answers.

I agree that grids should be built better, but they aren’t due to economics and catch-22s. Take the Texas power grid again as an example. It wasn’t winterized properly in Feb. 2021, freezing 100s to death. The cost of doing so is a ~$10/month bump for everyone there. The usual process for increases go through the PUC process and it’s hard to get large increases through, it’s usually $10/year increases and people complain that’s a lot. The gov., elected by the people, get to approve the price hikes.

DR is a much cheaper solution $-wise and politically as well. Not saying that’s how things ideally should be, but welcome to reality, where optimizing for the individual doesn’t align with taking care of the community/city.
And here I am, sitting in 98f, 80+ humidity, along Millions of others in my area. Somehow, I think that either human genetic variation is so large as to allow such drastic survival rate differences, or that the relationship between sids and temperature is being severly overstated here.
That's a totally different category of app though right - the ones using the Apple-Google framework don't share any PII.
Codd actually use a synthetic identifier for employee ID in an example in the original paper. So I don't think he is against synthetic identifiers in principle. But if a natural key exist of course a synthetic key need not be introduced.

People are always surprised when I describe how bad the internet connection I have is here in the UK. 3meg down 0.2 up.
If it rains or is too windy the connection dies. I’ve spoke to bt and openreach hundreds of times but it never gets any better. I’m the last house on the end of a copper line and there is no interest in fixing it. Four years ago the village was supposed to get fibre, recently “delayed” again. I rely on the 3G signal, which isn’t much better tbh.

My Starlink arrives next week :) I’m so exited to be able to finally download some photos I put on google drive a couple of years ago.
I see no one has mentioned Mailu (https://mailu.io/1.7/). It’s a self hosted mail server made up of a couple docker images.

I would recommend it based on my use and experience.

I’ve been using it for my personal email and for automated no-reply messages in a few projects with no delivery issues. I’m hosting on a Contabo VPS.

It handles spam with rspamd, sets you up with DMARC, DKIM, has an admin interface, web mail interface.

Sounds like they were over-complicating things. Simply pointing a shotgun mic at the cat from a distance would have done the trick.

Maybe the Windows God Mode "cheat" would help. It has all Windows settings in one place. You can create a direct shortcut to any of them from there. Activate it be creating a new folder and naming it "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}".

>I have the same question. Why not aggressively pay of the existing debt and reduce borrowing, when the sate has enough money in general budget.

I don’t know about this specific case but it can make sense for a state to borrow if their rate of return is greater than the interest rate on debt. With capital being so cheap right now this is likely true (unless they are pumping it into their high speed rail). Similar idea to people investing in their retirement instead of paying off their mortgage.

I use Apple because their OS is a Unix AND their hardware is nicely built and well integrated with the OS.

I use Linux because it’s a way to run a good Unix-like OS on non-Apple hardware.

The overwhelming majority of people who use Windows (or macOS) is because their computer came with it. As long as it mostly works, people don’t care about which OS they are using.
> But is that a developmental thing...

It’s a group survival thing. It’s helpful to have some reckless members because they discover solutions that others would never explore. In particular, young males have been prewired by evolution to generally be the most reckless members of a group because they are the most expendable. The number of young females determines a group’s reproductive rate and older members tend to have critical skills, knowledge, and wisdom. I speak as a former young male who explored more than his share of possible solutions for the group.

I would agree with you on the cause of skepticism, for one caveat - there is no substantial public funding whatsoever when it comes to anti-aging research.

This shows that people are more content with ignoring the horror of death than actually trying to fix it.

It's one thing to not fund an organization you've never heard of, that is making claims you're unsure of. It's another thing to not even try to solve a pressing problem with public funding and/or initiatives.

Clearly, people find death problematic, given the lengths we go to avoid it when it comes within striking distance. We moved the world to deal with the imminent threat of COVID. But when death is not near us, we tend not to think about it at all - we actively avoid thinking about it, even.

I think future historians will find this general shortsighted behavior quite interesting - how can a species that so profoundly fears death collectively ignore the issue of aging so as to not even dedicate a noticeable fraction of money, time, and effort into solving aging?
I was planning on building something similar. My first attempt involved trying to get grapesjs to work with react. This attempt was very cumbersome because grapesjs generated html, and I would try to manipulate the html into react.

https://github.com/artf/grapesjs

Later however, I discovered craft.js, which is basically a framework for creating systems similar to this (page/component editors). Craft.js was inspired by grapesjs, but is specifically made for react.

https://github.com/prevwong/craft.js

Of course craft.js only solves the UI editor, not the code parsing/generation part. Babel is an obvious choice for code generation/manipulation, but I found its imperative approach unnecessarily complicated, so I built react-ast to enable declarative and composable code generation using react.

https://github.com/clayrisser/react-ast

The part I had not figured out was using the code as the source of truth for the editor and syncing it back. I definitely thought about it a lot, but postponed solving it since I had more pressing problems.

So, I have a lot of curiosity about this project. How does it work? And how does it stack up against a technology like craft.js? I noticed it’s not using craft.js, so I’m guessing the developers rolled their own equivalent.
My guess is that it's the Play Store app itself that does this (con.android.vending). That app is responsible for both updating itself regularly and installing/updating other apps.

One possible way: There is a daily job run in the Play Store called "daily hygiene" that performs various configured tasks based on device state and device targeting. It would not be difficult to add some code to install this app for MA users, then push it with the next Play Store update. I am very unpleasantly surprised that this app was installed from a policy perspective, however.
ZFSOnLinux just ignores the O_DIRECT flag if I remember correctly. Granted, this is what btrfs should do by default as well since there is an ugly issue where software can modify the O_DIRECT buffer after it was submitted causing btrfs checksum errors even though nothing was corrupted (and there is nothing to be done about it except disabling O_DIRECT or creating a buffer copy).

Not really if you have dementia / alzheimer. You're stuck in a short term loop.

I wonder if this is the same functionality some carriers use to install their management app on your phone. For example, I've recently bought a second hand Samsung tablet.

I've reset it to factory settings and put in a Vodafone SIM. The next time I looked though the installed apps I saw some Vodafone Services app that I didn't install. It couldn't be removed either.

So clearly, either Google with play services or the carrier over the baseband modem can install apps without user consent.

Is there any way this can be avoided? Do open ROMs like carbonROM or LineageOS protect against this?
That doesn't fix the issue

ISPs mandate certain capabilities of the cellular modem + the simcards (remember java cards? that ran java? they still exist as simcards!)

Government RCE is still 100% on the table regardless of whatever software your phone is running
How is that relevant at all? When people talk about privacy they care a million times more if their friends see what they do than if some big organization sees what they do. What I'm talking about is people getting a list of who viewed their content, that is they can see who viewed their beach pictures etc.
Isn’t there a feature from the app stores allowing for remote installation of apps?
Must feel nice living under a rock every day. It's really sad that people like you keep spewing propaganda while a country of people suffer.
> In this case it seems that the same goal could have been better achieved by SMS that do not depend on the brand of your phone. The dependency on proprietary app stores and OSs seems a risk for the continuation of a free and reliable communications.

While installing an app without users consent can be as questionable as you want, the point about these apps are not the notifications itself but about the contact tracing which is achieved through the bluetooth functionality.
also, sending sms messages has other privacy concerns that the tracing apps have tried to avoid from the very beginning. having a person phone number can lead to eventually identify that person while that internal trace id it might use, won't.
I believe in most cases it were parents that were the issue, not kids. Perhaps abducting them (parents) to some empathy bootcamp could do more good.
Entire generations are members of oppressed groups now? You can't paint Millennials as being some kind of victim group that is, on balance, worse off as a result of policies while still insisting that these policies merely redistribute benefits within the population. For Millennials as a whole to be worse off, you must be talking about policies that, as a whole, provide a net benefit or cost to society. Hence the contraditictions. And in particular if you believe generation X+1 is more diverse than generation X, it requires deep schizophrenia so simultaneously claim that life is better for more diverse groups and yet generation X+1 is worse off. =

This is so true! Most of the in-house data centers I had seen had Windows and they didn't really bother to even think about changing. It's totally different from cloud service providers, that some of them don't even provide a Windows server option.
