I don't know in the english-speaking world, apart from the Intercept who i understand has its own internal controversies, but in the french-speaking world we have a few independent publications, like CQFD, L'envolée, Le Monde Libertaire, Mediapart, Le Canard Enchaîné... I assume it's the same on your side of the ocean and they're just not well known?

> Let Google track my reading

Why would you need tracking? There's some donation-based subscriptions for publications, and a centralized donation dashboard sounds amazing. Liberapay and similar donation-based platforms are good for that kind of stuff.

Also, how would you actually measure? Size in bytes of content? Number of characters? Time spent? Is there any metric that can be fair to all and cannot be gamed to maximize profits while not providing quality content?

This is true for teams and projects too.
I understand why you feel that is ironic, but the VoLTE call on Bell uses only the Bell LTE data bearer and not any other resources that are VoLTE specific from the Bell network. Everything relating to VoLTE is coming from Verizon. In many roaming situations VoLTE roamers are downgraded to CS in order to comply with lawful intercept.
100% sure? No. Mind you, I'm on MSVC, where I already need an extra ~1gb download to get the system linker.

We could still do a few different things to make this story better for users, even if it's not literally identical.
Ya, I’m not sure why Zuck is getting praise for foresight in mobile.

He fought mobile, and left their mobile czar position open for years.

I believe he’s even explicitly stated he missed mobile.

Interesting.

I’d never be able to use Tabs as todos because I personally use tabs very ephemerally. Closing out of chrome with 3 profiles and 10 tabs each open is nothing to me because I don’t care what tabs are open. If they’re important links then I’ve already written them down in Roam and/or bookmarked them.

question - how do you find anything? Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve never used tree tabs, but finding the link you used last week or last month to complete a task sounds like a nightmare without bookmarking it. Contrast this with my workflow, which doesn’t rely on tabs, and I can easily find it in my notes in less than 10 seconds.
Over time, flash memory leaks the charge that holds your data. Here's an explanation I found:

Sure, like many things, I bet you could pick three or four and get 90% of the default coverage. That still helps 90% of the users.

I also think you're really missing out on the "compile C code easily too" thing. That isn't very pleasant at all in Rust today.

(Finally, one reason it’s so big is that we ship binaries. This ships source. std-aware cargo could really help here.)
I did not claim Telegram to be secure. It has nothing to do with what I said. Moreover, saying that something "is secure" does not make too much sense, without specifying secure against what.

Assuming you are in good faith, I will try to explain better: The title of the article states there are vulnerabilities in the encryption protocol.

According to RFC 4949 a vulnerability is:

> A flaw or weakness in a system's design, implementation, or operation and management that could be exploited to violate the system's security policy.

Clearly stating that there are vulnerabilities in Telegram's encryption protocol raises concerns, a lot of confirmation bias among Telegram haters, and leaves people who only read the titles with the feeling that Telegram encryption is vulnerable to attacks.

However, among the 4 flaws reported by the researchers, 3 are not exploitable ("This attack is mostly of theoretical interest", "Luckily, it is almost impossible to carry out in practice", "Luckily, this attack is also quite difficult to carry out, as it requires sending billions of messages to a Telegram server within minutes") and the other one is about reordering encrypted messages.

Therefore, a more fair headline which would undoubtedly raise less interest could be "Researchers found a way to change the order of your Telegram messages, even if they still cannot read them", or "Researchers found some purely theoretical or almost impossible to carry out vulnerabilities in Telegram's encryption protocol".

And don't even get me started about the fact that literally everybody, including expert security researchers, feel entitled to bash Telegram for having rolled their own crypto at every chance they get.

Your example that Republicans are the big tent party doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

It shouldn't, because that isn't what I said.

I also didn't say that.
So you're saying that existing cars, where it's in the dashboard, can be modified for almost nothing to put this card someplace else?

Edit: I mean, hindsight is great when you're designing a new car, and Tesla did make it much easier to replace this card in newer models, but we're talking about old cars. 75 minutes of labor for an S, 90 for an X.

The distinguishing quality of predatory pricing is that it's an unsustainable tactic used to push competitors out of the market before raising prices at a later time. It's not predatory pricing if the price never changes and in the case of YouTube the price to consumers has always been free, even before it was owned by Google.

Do you have an example? IMO the benefits massively outweigh the downsides. Swaying elections has been done historically with newspaper and television. Fox news is still far, far more influential than Facebook for political opinion. Why is this different?
Passively collecting data on the wire is different from actively exploiting a device to execute malware. Any entity trying to work with intelligence agencies is definitely going to be careful and somewhat sparing with their use of an "S-tier" zero-day like this. (Unless they have reason to believe it's already likely been burned, in which case they might decide to hastily machine gun it while it's still viable.)

As a US resident, both the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games and the Metro 2033 game series have fascinated me in their different style of storytelling than most "traditional" FPS games. I have to put them in the same group as the Half Life series in terms of replay enjoy-ability for the story and engagement.
I like it if the laptop only starts the fan up when the device actually is working. Not constantly turning it on and off during like light web browsing.

My 2018 MBP 13” and the Surface Laptop I’ve tried did that well. An XPS 15 I’m currently using does not.
The town square analogy would be fine if there was a ‘net neutrality’ for social media: they have to show me everything I follow in chronological order with no filtering or recommendations. As it stands it works more like the letters page in a newspaper, where an editor is deciding what gets included and what doesn’t.
Wait, why would the device get warm during suspend? Or do you mean a different kind of sleep mode? I'm thinking of the state where it just refreshes DRAM to keep its contents (this does not produce much heat at all) and everything else is off: that definitely does not require the cpu fan to run because the cpu is not processing any instructions during that state.
I am sure the big names missing from the list are also doing it. Five eyes, Russia, China probably have much better capabilities than the ones on the list.

The list for India is weird though. It has a lot of names which are in the pro current establishment camp and some of their own leaders as well.

Could it be some other state snooping on them or has it found usage by non state actors as well?

Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

I use ProtonMail and ProtonVPN daily and the upgrade (which came about two months ago) is pretty significant. Namely one of my big complaints was that in the previous version your sessions weren’t preserved and you were always having to log back in. The client still needs some performance enhancements but is otherwise a pretty significant improvement over the old UI.

The packages are pretty good value IMO. For something like 100 euros per year you get secure email, two custom domains, and VPN. For someone who just needs exactly that for their personal websites and daily driver usage it’s great.
I agree with your reasoning, but i strongly disagree with the core assumption that more power structures can solve the issues, as i believe they are the source of most problems you are pointing to.

People being in positions of privilege and power is precisely why they can get away with certain crimes. The institutions to build to stop that cannot be centralized like social-democracy advocates, but have to be fully democratic, as in run directly by the people and for the people. Electing our next masters every 4 years (5 where i'm from) is not democracy. Democracy is about seizing power, not about giving it away to soulless sociopaths.

If you believe democracy is a term that's been emptied out of meaning, i'd recommend reading some anarchist literature as another take on what democracy can (should?) look like.

This right here is it, for the most part. I see a lot of people who lament how terrible the takeover of "big tech" is, but they still use Facebook on a regular basis and don't go out of their way to seek alternatives.

With extremely valuable zero-days like this targeting is the way to go b/c you don't want the zero-day discovered by putting it out extensively in the wild. Obviously it's always a question of time anyways.
VoLTE has been "broken" (from a standards perspective) since before it even launched in most markets - it is just too "finicky" and configuration-specific. LTE/4G demonstrated the success of standards in that it "just works" as long as you have the right bands in place. Since most (modern) phones have the bands needed for the main global markets, you can pop in a SIM card and get connected anywhere.

VoLTE is far more complex, and there's network-specific configurations "hard-coded" into the (usually) Qualcomm modem firmware, including IPSec parameters for communicating with the IPsec endpoint in front of the IMS SIP server.

An example of one of these configurations (in JSON-ish format): https://github.com/JohnBel/QualcommMBNs/blob/master/extracte... - even including things like a "user agent":

```
"ImsUserAgent": {
"ValueString": "Vodafone VOLTE Qualcomm"
},
```

VoLTE roaming can work, but it's complex and requires specific roaming agreements between carriers. These arrangements need negotiated individually (for now) between operators, and have a number of considerations including technical and legal - since there's IPSec in use, local laws (in the country you roam in) might restrict the ability to do this, as local lawful intercept wouldn't work. The home network needs to set up rules for which networks won't permit IPsec to be used (I believe AT&T will do this, but only where there's a legal requirement to permit local interception of calls).

The long and short of it is that, as you say, VoLTE is a load more complex than it ought to be. Throw in delivery of SMS-over-IP (settings also in the above MBN example) for extra complexity - many operators rolled out VoLTE/VoWiFi without SMS support, and some still don't properly do SMS over IP as far as I recall.

5G more generally is starting to head this direction too though - with the complexity of EN-DC supported configurations for 4G, and the very limited support for 5G standalone, even among devices advertising it, I fear with 5G we will have another few years to go before you can buy a "5G" phone and have any confidence it will work. VoNR (the successor to VoLTE) will likely have all the same issues replay as we saw with 4G.

I really wish we could get carriers and standards bodies to bash heads together and set up a "baseline" standardised IMS profile for VoLTE/VoWiFi - there's nothing inherently preventing this from working, as you can easily use VoLTE on a private network if you follow the standards, but operators love to meddle, tweak, and add custom useragent strings etc.
It's so bleak that people think the solution to violent lawlessness is more guns, more violence.

Now in the hands of untrained civilians. Normally you could say their unadulterated freedom allows them to commit accidents, but that's hard to swallow when you've just said the poor are desperate and without sufficient support from law enforcement. That's not freedom.
The idea of "died by suicide" is that it presents it as more like succumbing to a disease, not blaming the deceased. It puts the focus on loss of life, not the taking of life.

Not quite analogous, but if someone has epileptic seizure and falls and cracks their skull and dies, we don't says they threw themselves to the ground, even though their own brain caused them to go off balance and fall.

Annecdata: I've never had a desktop or laptop fan fail on me, and I'm the kind of person who keeps them for a decade.

Spinning HDDs (Toshiba bearings), keyboards and hinges on the other hand have all failed on me multiple times, in macs. but the fans kept going. The keyboards were the last thing to fail in the 2009 design, they last about 10 years.

Also while were at it, mechanical failure isn't always the biggest concern these days, Apple has had nVidia GPU issues (soldier and fab issues) in the past where they ended up underclocking them in a firmware patch in order to push failures out of warrantee.

That doesn't mean anything since at the time (November 2020) it explicitly says it is 'not stable' for general use. Like you said yourself 'sometimes qemu would crash' and one of the known issues in the preview and beta versions is that the kernel panics regularly.

At the time since November 2020:

> 'Docker Desktop on Apple M1 chip is still under development. We recommend that you do not use tech preview builds in production environments.'

My intention is not to 'test' this software, I am simply using it for general use and I do not suggest using beta or preview software to anyone if it is known to be that unstable. As soon as it was marked officially as a 'stable' release, then I would use it.

Those who bought the M1 would have waited 6 months for it to be stable.
There is a marketplace of ideas. That's not anything that is ever going to change. Concepts spread and are accepted or they don't.

The question is only how. Is it going to be by dictate? Is a church or government or institution going to enforce which ideas spread, or is it going to be free, spreading at the level of the individual?

There is no moral alternative to the free exchange of ideas. The only alternative is a restricted exchange... censorship and punishment.
It's an ideal "twitch" marketplace, not an ideal "deep thought" marketplace. "The marketplace of ideas" wasn't usually considered to be about gossip, rumor, or entertainment. Those are... something, but not "the marketplace of ideas".

Hmm if that were necessary, then all power states should keep the fan on for a while after running, so a device that was shut down would also keep the fans on and there would be no need to put in a requirements document that the fans must turn off to give the illusion of having shut down? To my understanding though, if no new heat is created (usually mainly by processors like CPU or GPU), keeping the fans on is not necessary in regular laptops or desktops.
I'm asking you to provide the actual implementation of your hypothetical function now().

I don't need to know the implementation of the real function Time.now from Ruby because, without looking at its source code, I can tell you that it has implicit arguments.

How can I tell this? Because it's impossible for your Ruby program to tell the time without some kind of interaction with an external source (be it the computer clock, the internet or whatever); this source is your implicit parameter and it's why two invocations of your function don't return the same value. It is impossible for your function not to have this source of time, either implicitly or explicitly.

If you disagree, then please explain how your function tells time.
The reason that centrists support private censorship now is very simple:

We are now facing disinformation campaigns that have apocalyptic consequences, and normal legal channels are quite ineffective at battling them.

"Well of course, it's not the government's job to decide between true and false, nor to enforce it!" you say.

Bullshit, I say.

Slander is illegal. False advertising is illegal. Fraud is illegal. Defamation is illegal. Perjury is illegal. Filing a false report is illegal.

There are a plethora of torts and laws where you will get sued or jailed for lying about something important (like a court matter) and in those cases the truth is a defense! That means a court decides what is true and what is false.

So we've admitted that we're willing to abridge free speech to protect truth. That's now established. But we're only willing to do it for cases where somebody can show clear damages, and where there's a clear target to sue.

A diffuse, widespread misinformation movement against a concept and not a person? Like climate change, or vaccines, or covid, or Judaism at large? Those aren't protected at all. And why not? Because there isn't a shareholder of climate change who can show that your misinformation has unjustly damaged his share price?

So given this legal vacuum, is it any wonder that the reality-based community has embraced private censorship? Nobody loves this solution, but the alternative is letting one third of the population doom the other two thirds by obstructing the kind of actions we need to survive.
