I think it's time for phone manufacturers, at least the few unknown ones that care for users privacy, to implement plausible deniability in the form of two or more bootable systems where one is the main one and the others boot would be triggered by a special password, so that they would not contain certain phone numbers, messages, etc. and anything installed there wouldn't have access to other partitions/systems.

The system should be clever enough to let some innocuous information slip from other systems. For example, let's say a border guard asks me for a password and I give the one that boots the system I'd use when travelling, with no other stuff than a few family photos and cat videos, if he checked the phone calls he would immediately spot that I didn't make a phone call (with that system) in one month or more, which would immediately raise alarms, so there should be a way to tell the other systems to slip in there some information like phone calls to relatives or the restaurant, chats with girlfriend, etc. just so that one could pretend that the system was used daily.

A week after arrests, Cl0p ransomware group dumps new tranche of stolen data
Brilliant. It sounds a bit like those guys who brute-forced every melody below a certain size.
“GrayKey also allows agencies to install the agent which surreptitiously records the user's passcode if authorities hand their phone back to them”

Yikes. This is something that probably would trip up a lot of people. After arresting you and taking your phone, they say you can make a phone call and pass your phone back to you. You unlock and it’s game over.
Nice work. :)

I was surprised to learn that systemd will not obtain an address via DHCP without the presence /etc/machine-id which systemd-machine-id-setup creates for you (needs it for IAID+DUID).
It's not worth paying attention to vote counts on HN; it's been years since I've taken them seriously. It's worth hanging out here for the smart people that remain, but there are a lot of dumb people with aspirations to the "magic" of success in SV that don't realize that being aggressively narrow-minded is explicitly counterproductive.

I think this is just the lifecycle of any space with low barriers to entry full of smart people. There are positive effects from smart people interacting openly, dumb people notice the effects and want a piece, and they flood the zone with their dumbness without realizing how anathema it is to what attracted them there in the first place.

> The PSX did not age well.

Most games didn't aged well, however some of them are still impressive today considering the limitations:

- Chrono Cross: almost no loading times after the initial one.

- Crash Bandicoot: the graphics are still very charming, and there is almost no graphics 'jigling'.

- Valkyrie Profile: one of my favorite RPGs of all the time, and thanks to its 2D graphics and huge sprites it is still very good looking even today.

- Tekken 3: Very detailed character models and I think it runs at 60 FPS? Even if it doesn't, it is still impressive.
I'd guess that most people don't know the detailed rules of elections in other countries.
It’s complicated but we did used to have people doing all sorts of nasty tricks with images to style checkboxes and stuff.

I think some attempts at incremental improvement would be nice, maybe as the drop down gained usage that would help decide it’s future direction. Right now it’s just kinda dead and hard to use unless you’re building developer UI or something.
With approval voting, a voter faces an impossible to solve dilemma. If they hate one candidate a lot, and like one candidate a lot, should they approve all candidates except the one they hate, or only approve the one candidate they like?

With strength of preferences, some people will give their scores as 2,3,4 (out of 5) because nobody is perfect and nobody is truly the worst imaginable. But other people will give out scores 1,3,5 if they feel that has more effect, or because the are comfortable using score extremes everywhere else in life - with no real difference in the strength of conviction between those two groups of people.

And some people will use only 1,5 because they think giving every candidate except the one you hate a 5 increases the chance of the one you hate not getting in, even if they don't really like any of the others, or like one more than the others. It doesn't mean they are "pro" any of the candidates.

And some will give their favoured candidate 5 and everyone else 1 or 2.
Good to know though - if you are ever arrested, reboot your iPhone before entering the PIN. At least for the last 5 years since (I believe) the A9, no malware or jailbreak has managed to be persistent on an iPhone beyond a reboot that we know of.

This is likely because all of the exploits jailbreaks or malware use are flaws in already running processes, but when the phone is rebooted, hardware root of trust verifies everything that loads is signed by Apple, clearing out the virus/jailbreak unless it was manually invoked (or plugged into the GrayKey) again to re-exploit those processes.

Of course, in the unlikely event that you happened to have an iPhone without the new Secure Storage component mentioned on this thread, be arrested, and the cops were trying to "Hide UI" on you, it would be really awkward for them if you rebooted your phone first ruining the trap. "Wait, no, you're supposed to enter your PIN right now!"
I think that OP just means that capitalism, as a system, has absolutely no incentive to increase wages as productivity increases, it's a race for profits so extracting maximum profit is the metric. It's this reliance on a single metric that, for me personally, is a major failure of the current economic system to provide not only wealth and innovation but also good standards of living for people.

I'm a bit of a humanist and quite leftist in my views though, not a communist by any means but I will always try to look into economic systems with this more humane optic.

I've haven't taken the Caledonian sleeper since the revamp but did take it a few times before that.

In my experience it was a near perfect form of travel. Arrive at a train station long after most people had gone home, board the train and fall asleep, wake up at the platform very early the next day. You lose practically no 'useful' time.*

The one thing which stopped us making use of it more frequently was the cost. It was generally more expensive than flying, much more expensive than driving and even more so now that we have a child.

* In fairness, it's pretty loud and not massively comfortable so if you are a light sleeper you might not get the full magic carpet effect.

My daily-driver linux UI (fvwm something or other, whatever the fvwm that comes with Debian 10) is noticeably slower than my daily-driver linux UI as per 1997-2002 (gwm). Which is somewhat ironic, as gwm was basically an interpreter with a bunch of built-in X11 manipulation primitives.

But, back then, getting the "desktop context menu" up too approximately no perceivable time, whereas these days I notice time passing. I don't think that is because my reflexes have improved massively in the last 20 years.
Oh, and don't forget, phones lines can be forwarded elsewhere as well. (hopefully the law's text said "area code time zone", and had some wording against tomfoolery like making a forwarding service that sent calls wherever)

> Google copyrighting the word "Google"

You can't have a copyright on a word. You're thinking of another category of intellectual property, trademark. Google has a trademark for the word "Google" but trademarks are for specific uses of words related to the business. The intent of trademark law is a form of consumer protection, you can't fool the public that your product or service is offered by the trademark holder by using the trademarked term.
"Gender critical" people claim that someone's sex cannot be changed, not even using surgery and hormones. So what is sex then? Obviously not one's hormones as those can be replaced just fine. That leaves chromosomes, primary and secondary characteristics.

They also claim that gender is more important than sex. When they, for example, address someone as "Dear Mr. Smith", they must be referring to their sex then. Which means they mean something like:

- "Dear Smith, who has XY chromosomes"

- "Dear Smith, who has a natural grown penis"

- "Dear Smith, who has a penis that works well enough that I consider them a man

- "Dear Smith, who can grow a beard"

- "Dear Smith, whose shoulder width is typical for a human male"

All of these are either bafflingly irrelevant, fucked up or inaccurate. So how exactly is one's sex relevant to anyone except their doctors and partners?

> In February, when Donna Hughes, a professor of women\u2019s studies at Rhode Island University, published an article critical of gender ideology, petitions sprouted calling for her to be fired.

The article, which the Economist didn't bother to link to:

https://4w.pub/fantasy-worlds-on-the-political-right-and-lef...

It's more of a pamphlet filled with lies, sexism and conspiracy theories. I think academic freedom is too important to fire her over this, but I understand the petitions.

> In February Holly Lawford-Smith, a professor of philosophy at the University of Melbourne, launched a website which invited women to describe their experiences of sharing female-only spaces with trans women. It is not a research project and its reports are unverified. Most describe a feeling of discomfort rather than any form of physical assault.

So? I'm sure some women feel uncomfortable around black women. Or lesbians. Someone feeling uncomfortable around people of a given group is a common cause of discrimination and bigotry.

> If Maya Forstater, a British researcher who lost her job because of her gender-critical views

No, Mr. Forstater lost his job not because of his views but because "It is a core component of her belief that she will refer to a person by the sex she considered appropriate even if it violates their dignity and/or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment".[1]

You're confusing trademark with copyright.

Google can't copyright "Google". That's not how it works. Google would apply for trademark protection on the wordmark, Google in relation to search and/or advertising. The USPTO has all the details if you can handle searching their site (it's a bit of a mess).

This project got me to buy a full NKRO keyboard.

I dislike how every system/theory has their own dictionary for words and in addition to that, it's heavily encouraged to customize your dictionary for the work you're doing. The customization makes it much harder to learn. Think extensive emacs/vim shortcut customization but worse (in my opinion) and much, much more common.

It is fun essentially typing syllables instead of individual letters. When I was learning, I found a lot of mismatches between how I thought a word sounded, and what the dictionary thought. It felt like relearning English.

Other downsides (at the time), was that there's no real slowing down. You're either typing syllables quickly, or you're not writing anything. There's a way to type individual letters but it's pretty slow, and you have to stop plover (toggle it off), to type normally (which is slightly faster).
tropo scatter antenna systems for point-to-point over the horizon data links still exist, and are not as absolutely gigantic (but are still huge and unwieldy compared to portable two way satellite):

https://www.militaryaerospace.com/communications/article/140...

https://www.mwrf.com/technologies/systems/article/21846099/t...

You still need REALLY high power amplifiers on the Tx on each end (not too much different from a giant high power tx amp on like a 7.3 meter two-way geostationary satellite earth station). The modems are a lot better than they used to be. Better use of advanced FEC and adaptive coding/modulation systems, very similar also to advanced two way SCPC/MCPC type two way satellite modems. Some of the same manufacturers make subsystems for both industry segments.

One of the reasons why the US DoD is so enthusiastic about Starlink (and when available, LEO systems from telesat, oneweb, etc) is that future polar orbit coverage will provide a huge amount of bandwidth to sites at very high latitudes where using geostationary-based systems is problematic due to elevation angles.

Incidentally, I just helped a family member work around the process of quitting his job and moving to a new one.

Their contract basically states:

1. PTO can't be paid out at the end of employment

2. PTO can't be used to quit the job

3. PTO can't be used _the entire last month_ of your employment with them

Which is nuts
I somewhat agree with the sentiment although I think it's a bit pessimistic and as described holds a stronger resemblance to a YA dystopian novel than reality.

I went to a state school (i.e. public school in American terminology) in a poor area and studied hard and did well, got scholarships, went to Uni etc.

There are some problems with people not being able to afford to dedicate time to study - this can be solved by offering a maintenance allowance to all students, as I believe is done in some Nordic countries.

But the biggest issue I saw in my high school was people either giving up on education altogether, or having unrealistic expectations leading them to choose University degrees with poor job prospects.

Note, I include the trades in education as in fact they better than many University degrees when it comes to helping people improve their lot in life.
Atrocious that such a trivial case cost you so much money that you actually lost (not strictly, but it must've felt like a loss).

My dad is currently suing has past employer (the state). It's taken two years so far and they try to screw him over in whatever way possible. Luckily the union is paying for his lawyer, so he doesn't really care.

As someone in his early twenties who knows very little about law, the way such cases go down is mind-blowing to me.

I don't know if it ever worked exactly like he demoed (I have never really used the graphing calculator. It wasn't useful to me. I have always used PCalc), but that was exactly what his demo did. That was why we stood up and hooted and hollered.

Nowadays, you can do that with a Web browser, but back then, we hadn't seen anything like it.

Those jobs require competence from most contributors. Mastery from a few. And you can teach mastery to non-incompetent people, most of the time. Also, most jobs that Ada would be used for aren't time critical (in the sense of "Oh god oh god oh god we've got to ship yesterday!", unless it's F-35, which fortunately didn't use Ada because that would've saved them a lot of heartache). They program in 2-5 years for the project so 1 month to competency and then additional OJT from more experienced (with Ada and the system) over the rest of the time will produce mastery.
