Sandboxed trusted computing actually offers a way out of this dilemma: Rather than having an entire phone/computer etc. locked down (so that some third party can trust it), there is only a trusted subsystem that can interact with the larger system only in limited and well-defined ways.

Microsoft's plans for the TPM back in the early 2000s have given the entire concept of trusted computing a bad reputation, but besides DRM, there are many legitimate use cases for it that are not anti-consumer/anti-freedom.

Depends what you’re doing with the username.

Sometimes it’s just being able to be standards compliant in future:

POSIX stipulates that a dot should separate the user with the group (so jan.harasym is technically an illegal unix user name, and as such might break non-gnu `chown`)

If your username is for a comprehensive suite like Google’s gsuite then having an “@“ or “%” would make your email address invalid.

There could be encoding issues too, but I think the majority of new systems use UTF-8.

I haven’t seen a _real_ encoding issue in about 4 years.

Why is activism against anti-vaccine groups the only problem, not the activism of anti-vaccine groups?

They're not just sitting in private chatting about how much they dislike vaccinations and not bothering anyone, they're spreading anti-vaccine propaganda and actively trying to undermine vaccinations. Why do you feel vaccinations would be higher if these groups were left alone to do as much damage as possible, when we already know how effective their campaigns can be?

To say nothing of the actual threat to herd immunity these people present.

For the apple to fall on Newton's head? It could have been dropped by a passing swallow (or possibly two, held on a line between the dorsal guiding feathers).

For it to fall from the tree? Well, that's a linguistic trick; for it to fall from the tree it must have been hanging on the tree, so that necessary condition is actually a tautology.

Physics describes a world with statistical regularities, not absolute laws. Even a clockwork Newtonian universe is not time-reversible; it has multiple pasts that can lead to the observed present.

Well, we can obviously reduce it if we reduce gasoline consumption from the status quo (true with moving to hybrids, especially plugins using gas mostly for range extension), but since its not used exclusively for autos, we can't retire it even if we replace all autos and do nothing else.

I think there are 4 things that make a Columbo episode enjoyable:

1) Peter Falk
2) Creative murder ideas
3) Great plot
4) Supporting performances

In "Any Old Port in a Storm" the acting by both Falk and Pleasence is outstanding. Regarding 2), I always adored "Now You See Him" (the magician episode, also with Cassidy) and "Swan Song" (the airplane murder with Johnny Cash).

No you can use the ordinary SQL snippets listed in the blog post to do the same thing that a hyperfunction does (altough the hyperfunction might have a better performance). A hyperfunction is a function optimized to work on Timescale hypertables (which can be used to store & query time series data in a Postgres database).
Yep, I went for a coffee and realized that. But this is a consequence of the simplistic summary, as I warned. As everything, the devil is in the details!

If we look closer, I believe (not an expert, though) that without a copyright assignment your contribution would have to be kept with the same license. We'd be just getting into the fact that non-copyleft licenses typically allow to use the code for building proprietary software. But AFAIK the contributed code itself would need to be kept with the original license? (that's where my knowledge is lacking)
Chrome engineer, working on WebRTC here. Here's my personal opinion:

Safari's WebRTC implementation is not outdated, it's just bindings over the same library that is used and developed by Chrome. At worst, it's lagging a bit by a few months.

What the post highlights is how some features are not available, like some codecs on some platforms. That's unlikely to be a decision from the browser engineers but probably closer to the lawyers who need time to approve a codec or other engineers working on HW acceleration.

Another point is also that while WebRTC was available in most contexts, getUserMedia wasn't, and that's the API used to access cameras and microphones. Without it, WebRTC functionality loses its appeal. I believe that's now fixed and webviews can now use it.

While I don't necessarily approve of those decisions for the users' sake, I still respect their choice to be able to make decisions on their own product and chose when a feature is deemed safe for release in potentially dangerous contexts. I don't know their security model, but from talking with the engineers on many occasions, they are not unreasonable people.

And while Safari is lacking some new WebRTC related APIs released in Chrome, it would be fair to say that they are not all standardized yet at the IETF or W3C level. Other browsers don't necessarily implement them either, and that's fine.
Not to justify the missing feature in any way, but assuming you're on Android can't you modify the applicationId of the existing apk (there are tools on GitHub that will do this for you), resign the apk, and adb push it? Unlike desktop, mobile apps are so thoroughly sandboxed from one another that I don't think there's any way for that to cause problems. I guess updates might be cumbersome though.

Timescale is a postgres extension that allows you to store time series data in a postgres database. Besides offering a very performant way to store specialized data it also offers additional functions to work with your time series data.

Besides the postgres extension there is also a database-as-a-service option where you can get started immediately and try the technique described in the blogpost.
Debian packaging has a nice feature too in that you can check the source used to build it, and any of the packages will be reproducible. So if you don't trust any of the Builds on the Mobian repository, you can actually check them all yourself.

There are still quite some packages that are not reproducible:

The OS and the apps are stable, Mobian is based on testing/sid, but if we have apps that arenot a part of Debian proper, we try to make sure they are stable.

> Should I be aware of any shortcomings that would hamper a normal phone experience?

Using it as a phone is almost there, but for me, the notable shortcoming is the lack of MMS. This is being worked on (actually I have been the primary person to work on it), and I am hoping it will be included sooner than later (within the next couple of months). I have also been working on getting Visual Voicemail to work.

Wifi Calling also does not work, and no efforts have been made on that.

But Calls, SMS, Voicemail, VoLTE (though this can be carrier dependent) all work!

11 people per minute is 5.7 million a year. That's less than 0.1% of the population.

The inefficiency losses from production to meal (about 1/3 waste) and the unequal global distribution of food are the important factors not our ability to sustainably produce enough.

Another problem is population growth in areas that lack the necessary environmental/climate properties to sustain themselves.
That makes a great deal of sense. This chap knows what he's talking about.

My house has gone up 28% in the past year and grew only a bit slower the prior year. Contrary to what everybody on west coast yells emotionally it has nothing to do with shortages, actually it’s the opposite.

I live in the third fastest growing large city in the US. It has doubled in population over the past 20 years and may become one of the US 10 largest cities over the next decade. There is plenty of room to expand here with constant construction and no geographic or political boundaries. Property prices seem to increase proportionally to the increase of housing quantity as though increased quantity is fueling increased demand. Multi tenant properties only seem to pop up here once an area becomes to saturated with single family residences leaving higher density units as the only remaining option.

Despite there being very low financial barriers to becoming a home owner here it seems an incredibly high quantity of single family homes are rentals.

I have no affiliation with this project, so I actually have no idea. However, I wish them the best of luck on it!
There was a study from 2014, looking at how long it takes to regain awareness after taking control from an automated system [0]. (And similar study from 2016[1].) It takes about 15 seconds to regain reasonable control of a car after control is handed over. If your plan is to pull over and hand control to a human in inclement weather, that is a viable plan. If your plan is to recognize an emergency and hand control to a human during an active emergency, the situation has resolved itself within those 15 seconds, one way or another.

A system that has humans in the control loop must be designed around human limitations. Humans, myself included, are not capable of paying continuous attention to a task that requires only sporadic intervention. A control scheme that includes handing control back to a human in emergencies is a death sentence that serves only to obfuscate the cause of the crash and avoid liability.

Yet this is exactly the plan for self-driving cars. Automation level 0 [2] is fine, because there are enough minor corrections to keep the driver focused on the road. Automation levels 4-5 are fine, because the "driver" isn't the one in control of the car. Automation levels 1-3 are actively hazardous, as they remove the moment-to-moment adjustments performed by the driver, but they still expect the driver to maintain full situational awareness to take over at any time.

TL;DR. Automation levels 1-3 assume superhuman focus on the part of the driver, are fundamentally unsafe, and should be regulated against.

That's a stretch. If anything, Apple is too conservative.

The UIKit was the only UI framework from 2007-2019. Then SwiftUI came and they both work very well together. As other frameworks come for stuff like graphics or device features, they don't really replace each other but stack up. On desktop, it's a similar situation.

How is the situation with the web technologies? What was the hip tech in 2007? AJAX? JQuery? What about 5 years ago? AngularJS? Meteor? Bootstarp? what about now? Is it ReactJS or Vue? What about tomorrow? Is it Svelte?

They all arrange Div's in the DOM but it's different framework each month.

The liability for car accidents rests with the owner of the car, and they need to be alert to make sure conditions are suitable for the computer to be driving.

People are really underselling the miracle of modern automation.

They uncritically accepted these claims, without sufficient investigation, because they wanted them to be true.

Worse, the attitude seems to be "so what if they're partisan", as you said. Neither they nor their audience have learned anything from their many mistakes.

And that's being generous by allowing that they were mistakes. One would expect mistakes to happen in both directions, but as Glenn Greenwald said of the media in general, "The most notable aspect is that they all go toward promoting the same narrative."[1]

I suspect what's really happening here is that the standards for publication are drastically, catastrophically lower when the story is both powerful and politically convenient. That is not a mistake; that is prioritizing politics over truth. That is a publication that's in the business of propaganda, not journalism.

Technically it can be defined as a self-driving car, because it can bring you from point a to point b, but the case of where people should trust their life on it is a different story.
