Propaganda works best through fear. Fear results in cognitive dissonance making it literally impossible to process information correctly.

Somehow the fear needs to be addressed first and I as of yet haven't found any particular great way to do that.

The second contributor, is that people are reluctant to back out of a heavily invested position. Once they are in that position long enough, they identify that as part of who they are.

Holy crap. I've got about a dozen articles in preparation. Not a one of them is in Shelah's league
"Arranged marriage" in an Indian context doesn't necessarily imply "parents tell you who to marry".

In many cases it's essentially parent-involved matchmaking. There may be a professional matchmaker or family astrologer who sources leads. The prospective bride and bridegroom consider multiple or even dozens of options, and discuss their favorites with their parents or other close relatives. The bride/groom visit each other a few times, with families in tow. After they reach an agreement, there's a few months-long engagement. The couple may stay in touch by telephone, social media, video calls, (often chaperoned) in-person visits, and so on. If either person finds a major red-flag during this time, they have the (rarely-used) nuclear option of breaking the engagement.

(Source: I know Indian couples who have "arranged marriages" in the way I described).

> She said compatibility was the most important thing, not love, which I found very interesting.

Isn't that considered important in the West too? Advice such as "you have to agree on money, children, and religion; everything else is negotiable" or "you have to be able to make each other laugh" is thrown out pretty frequently. It's generally understood that relationships have a honeymoon phase, after which compatibility is a major factor in staying together. People who get married young sometimes don't understand this fully.

ASN.1 signatures aren't really much better - they go through a similar normalization step (BER vs. DER) and the payload contains the signature so you have to pull it out before validating the signature. It's just that it's been around long enough that (we hope) the kinks in the system have been discovered and worked out.

Maybe, I haven't seen any numbers. (I've seen several cases from email is or cloud providers IDing specific content and tipping off law enforcement, but not aggregate stats.)

Are most cases major cases? Are even most of the individuals caught caught in major cases (I doubt it; the number of publicized major caelses and the number claimed caught in each, and the total number of cases don't seem to line up with that.)

And even for the major cases, how do they get the initial leads that they work back to?

One thing to note is that Tyler takes a special pleasure in asking questions in a sequence such that there's no discernible reason to it at first, but when you sit back and think you realize that one informed the next in a non-obvious way.

It won't be a vaccine that makes you sterile. It will be one of the chemicals that end up everywhere because of corruption at the only agency that would protect us.

This is also why those people for a unregulated free market are insane. Sure the company pedaling the dangerous chemical will eventual go out of business. But how many people will die and suffer and does anyone think that the people responsible will still around the decades later until the crime is found out?

All new chemicals should be assumed dangerous and require rigorous safety studies and we need to make absolutely sure these studies are independent.

Pumping millions of gallons of corexit into an oil spill should not be permitted if the ingredients are a trade secret. We need to know what goes where, same goes for chemicals used in fracking.
I don't buy that the need to bump Major is a failure.

This is particularly true if you continue to maintain the previous major version to the same degree (if any) that you maintain the new one, and especially true if you have an explicit release lifetime strategy.

If I tell you that misfortunate 1.x will be actively seeing new work until 2025 and then bug fixes until 2028, and I deliver, misfortunate 2.x doesn't break that promise. Maybe you wish a new feature from misfortunate 2.6 could have been in 1.34 instead, but too bad I never promised that and most likely the way I did it would be incompatible with 1.34 anyway.

I also think that people underestimate how bad bugs can be. Sometimes the minimum fix is a breaking change.

I wouldn't say I have a "deep belief" in Apple, but I trust Apple more than the other available options, because Apple's financial incentives are basically the opposite of Google or Facebook's.

Instead of being motivated to use and/or sell user data, it's in Apple's best interest to keep that data secure and play to its competitive advantage as the company who is not trying to pry into its users' lives.

That said, I really don't understand why Apple would do this, and it is very disconcerting. Obviously child pornography is absolutely horrible, but this move seems to throw out everyone's privacy in exchange for catching what I have to imagine is a tiny minority of users who are involved with that.
I like this general idea since a lot of times a product can succeed with just any name that is short, easy to remember, etc. I spent probably a full week coming up with and buying knotend.com (I have a top level comment if you have time to leave feedback) which I would have been happy to just pay a few hundred bucks for.

Im not sure how valuable the logo addition is. Logos seem more personal. I think I would have paid < 100 for a very simple/generic logo and icon pack for knotend that just stood as a placeholder for later when I needed a real logo.
There’s at least two ways you could keep the Emacs ecosystem while refreshing some of the other pieces (to build a new editor):

- You could reimplement the Emacs LISP VM and change what some of the native editor types refer to (buffer, point, window, etc.) so that they are interpreted in a “modern” UI setting. Maybe add some new opcodes while you’re at it to handle things like threading.

- You could fork emacs, strip out the display engine, and completely rewrite it (it’s notoriously complicated and probably not worth dealing with 50 years of legacy hacks).

Either of these options would give you a reasonable chance of skipping over the inherent complexity of the system without having to ditch all of the ecosystem packages), though they’re both still pretty involved.

A big part of the reason for this is you’d inherently end up losing some OS compatibility in the process, and maintaining compatibility is probably the biggest problem with making changes or updates to emacs. If you’re willing to ditch that burden, your options expand dramatically.
Thank you for the suggestion!

It sounds like LineageOS for MicroG might be the friendliest way to ease into this for me.
Till the last week, I worked for one of the largest major package shipping companies in the US. Yeah, not surprised. Anti-postal lobbying by FedEx, UPS, DHL is just insane. They view US postal service as a competitor who has unfair edge over them.
I guarantee you, if you were to dig just deeper into that story, you will find aggressive lobbying. With Amazon having their own delivery service, this will intensify, because it cuts into their piece of the pie.

Ask HN: Self-hosted VoIP server for private/covert conversations
Whenever there are discussions about anonymous or private communication channels several apps with E2E encryption pop up but I've never seen anyone suggest simply using a self-hosted PBX/SIP Trunk.

I think it is pretty easy to spin-up an Asterisk server with a let's encrypt certificate for SIP/TLS and SRTP support and parties in need of secure communication simply need to call each other using a sip client (android has a built-in one).

A part from the requirement to harden the server, am I overseeing something? Is SRTP not that secure?
I'm sure it was good, but reading the description, I wonder if it was more than the sum of its parts.

Dishes like this are almost always agglomerations of expensive ingredients -- truffles, caviar, wagyu. I'm just surprised it doesn't have foie gras -- and perhaps that's only because foie gras was illegal in California until recently.

It's over the top by design. It may be only in San Francisco that it could possibly catch on, where just living there is so expensive that food is a tiny percentage of your budget.

As you say, it sounds like he was at least shooting for a bit more than "a bunch of expensive ingredients". A chef will usually want to be known for technique and judgment, though most people don't really care about either one. It's the same way in every field: movie buffs want films that are different from the same-old action movie; coders want to write clever algorithms more than merely being useful.
.... sometimes, yeah. When "why" is highly temporal, it's a great fit, since that doesn't often have anything to do with the code or behavior itself - put that in the commit message, and/or in your ticketing system. It's a waste of space and a distraction / source of confusion in code.

For many other things though, it's so easy to "cover up" commit history. Changing how you indent things (or splay one line into multiple), correcting a spelling error, etc all make it dramatically harder to follow than an in-code comment, even with good tool support (which is usually mediocre at best). Of course, you can keep those changes separate, and add them to an "ignore these commits" list for git... but few teams are capable of maintaining that in the long run.

First, some people took it and some did not. Yet you are trying to suggest we judge all homeless based on those who did not without knowing any further details. Damn them all to hell because some were offered housing and said "no."

A lot of services offered to the homeless are really terrible. I never stayed in a shelter while homeless. They have rules that make it just shy of being a form of prison, they tend to not be safe and they often have serious mold problems, among other things.

They also offered me no option to continue living as a family with my adult sons. Every service I spoke to urged me to take shelter as a single woman and to wait-list my sons for shelter as single adult men. There were zero programs to help us find shelter as a family of three blood relatives who still need each other to make our lives work.

I have done a lot of writing about homelessness and housing issues over the years. I could direct you to several of my blogs if you actually are sincerely interested in my take. I doubt that you are. That's likely a rhetorical device.

I am doing what I can to continue researching the issue, to provide useful information for small communities to use, etc. I don't know how to get traction and I don't know how to adequately monetize my work which makes it difficult to keep writing about it in hopes of other people benefiting because I need to eat and pay rent too. I'm certainly not independently wealthy.

It's true that I maybe made it seem a bit too much like emacs itself was outdated. But really I think that it is built on outdated paradigms, which hinders its development and presentation a bit. I was fully serious when I said I cannot imagine switching to anything else (and I'm not afraid of switching otherwise), it's still the best we have in my mind.
I don't know how Apple has managed to get the image of a "privacy friendly" company while painting Google as "privacy unfriendly" at the same time. Apple is better than Google, but mostly because they can't gather as much data about you as Google does (this is not related to iOS vs Android; it's about how pervasive Google is on the WWW), and that's about all the practical differences between the two. And on iOS, Apple is also just one silent App Store update away from being able to exploit your data, not very different from Android.

Even if I consider Google enemy #1 right now, I also don't really see them as privacy unfriendly. They have a shitton of data, but what have they exactly done with it that warrants the moniker? Microsoft seems to me to be much more privacy unfriendly (e.g., LinkedIn)
Good point. If we had something PLaneT-like, I wonder this-is-important-security-fix should be included in the version number (maybe a big `S` suffix), or separate. Or whether it much matters.

Security fixes are exceptional situations, requiring scrutiny from developers and also sometimes by end users. To understand the implications, what's affected, the urgency, any other impact, etc.

And we also have situations like a popular distro often shipping regressions in their security updates (including a "bricking" one for some hardware platforms last year, which threatened some appliances I had installed overseas).

Given this need for scrutiny by at least developers, I don't know whether having is-a-security-update information in the version number itself helps, or is just as well (or better) represented separately.

One distinction that might be intuitive and relevant... We already know that is-backward-compatible-with-previous-version(s) is something that could be handled more flexibly separate from the version number, such as for updating changing knowledge about that after a version release -- but there's lightweight benefits to being able to talk about that in a version number, such as in the import line. But the import line doesn't need to talk about security update handling, and probably shouldn't.
Yes, they said it in 2011. With just one data point and no trend. Nothing shows here it exploded since. So the FBI and the whole society may have found somewhat effective ways without scanning phones.
