I ended up on Havoc but I agree the experience is much better than stock.

2 things that make me much less excited about how much control I have:

There is still a xiaomi boot rom running under Havoc or Lineage, I can only assume xiaomi can put anything they want in that, so my phone isn't more secure, it's just less bloated.

Also, once you unlock you can now get access to the phone with a computer, bypassing the password. It becomes physically less secure. I believe there are some full storage encryption options but they seemed very finicky.

Please correct me if I'm wrong with any of the terminology, I last messed with this months ago. Sad that these are our options (walled garden and/or wiretap ourselves).
> Suppose the authority want to false-arrest you.

Why would they want that?
Yes. Nordic countries like Russia and Canada will benefit the most, especially considering the opening of maritime routes and the easier exploitation of natural sources that were usually locked up under ice or permafrost.
Yes but previously Apple’s stance was, “no we won’t do that”. And so they earned many’s trust. Now they are planning to do exactly that. And so they have broken the trust they earned.
I dedicated myself to garden work. Add some science to it, you have your lifelong hobby.

Hydroponics is also very fun. While you are financially independent, why not go fully self-sufficient?
It was a joke my friend :)
It's just a matter of time till they start scanning all image files on the SSD. Then documents (country-specific probably)
The apartment buildings are what add density. People who live in single family homes will invariably take the extra 15 to 20 minutes to drive to Costco and save money.
What a bizarre love letter to a piece of software. Some of this looks cribbed from the postgres.org site.

"After 25 years of persistence, and a better logo design, Postgres stands today as one of the most significant pillars of profound achievement in free software, alongside the likes of Linux and Firefox." The better logo really does it. All three of the "pillars" the author names are clones or derivatives of commercial products (Ingres, Unix, Netscape Navigator). Postgres development was partly funded by DARPA at Berkeley, and then through licensing to IBM, before it was open-sourced. Only Linux can be called a "profound achievement" of free software if the author means the cathedral and bazaar model, and then just barely.

"PostgreSQL has taken a complex problem and solved it to such an effective degree that all of its competitors are essentially obsolete, perhaps with the exception of SQLite." Uh, no. The whole notion of "competitors" in the world of open source software is flawed. PostgreSQL has not made Oracle, SQL Server, and DB/2 obsolete, nor has it made MySQL obsolete, or any of the other database managers we have to choose from. PostgreSQL is about half as "popular" as MySQL (https://db-engines.com/en/ranking), and both are below Oracle.

"... providing the best implementation of SQL" and in the footnote "No qualifiers. It’s straight-up the best implementation of SQL." I can't tell what the author means by "best," it's like writing that Oreos are the "best" cookies. In terms of standards compliance DB/2 is better. In terms of performance and scalability Oracle, SQL Server, and DB/2 are all objectively "better." In terms of compared to the main open source alternative, MySQL, the two are nearly neck-and-neck with features, compliance, and performance.

"SQL is usually the #1 bottleneck in web applications, and Postgres does an excellent job of providing you with the tools necessary to manage that bottleneck." Not in my experience. Sometimes excessive database traffic causes performance issues in web apps, but many other problems show up, like Apache/nginx contending for resources with MySQL or PostgreSQL (hint: don't run those on the same server/VPS). If the code makes too many database queries, or badly-written queries (WordPress and pretty much every ORM) that's a fault in the application code, not the database, and PostgreSQL doesn't magically fix it.
monumental stupidity or monumental courage?
Why are you looking so hard for an "evil" reason or ulterior motives for it?

Companies doing good things brings good PR. That could just be it.

I use LineageOS+microG and practically all apps not made by Google (WhatsApp, Spotify, PayTM) work as they should. Even for some Google apps, there are good alternatives like YouTube Vanced etc.
Boycotting products to change a company's mind won't work because:

- not enough people even know about this issue, understand the consequences or remember to act on it the next time a new phone is due
- not enough alternatives on the market, and we're probably already boycotting them for other reasons
- even with lower sales a company might not see the cause-and-effect

There is a general trend in the industry to take all kinds of liberties with user data. There is pressure on companies to do something about bad things happening in their clouds. Machine learning folks want to apply their tools to big data and the corpus of everyone's photos is probably nice to work with.

So we would have to tackle these issues on a larger scale.
Absolutely not. It may be cheap in terms of money, but the implicit costs are horrendous. In areas out of large metro-cities dating (or even courting) is a taboo and seen as a sign of lack of character, especially for women. Young couples very often get thrashed by their family members or self-styled vigilantes for it.
They actual elites have enough money to live comfortably for hundreds of years. They don’t have to care about climate change, maybe they even see it as welcome since it will kill billions of people if nothing is done. That’s how detached they are from the rest of us.
Is it ok nowadays to use github for pamphlets, "open letters" (that aren't letters), and other social media and polemic content to protest against privacy invasion of all things?
It's inevitable that software and hardware will be controlled by law enforcement. It's just too good an opportunity to not use it. Nearly no one will fight it and the apathy of the masses will lead us directly into a system at least as oppressive as china is now.

You can prepare for it, though. Organize some hardware while you still can, teach your children to not trust any device or service, and, more importantly keep your mouth shut. It might be hard for a typical US millennial to grasp the concept, but people that grew up in eastern Europe will be able to understand the concepts.
While Apple is very restrictive and controlling, they aren't as controlling as many imply about running your own/custom apps on phones.

You can sign up for a free developer account and sign apps onto your iDevices for free. ( 3-apps at least, for 1 week at a time )

If you pay for a developer account you can sign many more apps to run on your devices as you like. This includes apps that would not pass the store approvals.

I agree it is a hassle to have to install apps that way, but at least they do allow it.

of course Gruber is defending Apple.
The part where "threshold reached, all content visible and unlocked" is what worries me. That means, any content can be visible and unlocked to anybody, and the only barrier is some threshold where Apple pinky-swears it would never look unless it is passed. We all know how well it works with NSA wiretapping, and even if Apple right now is sincerely committed to hold their promise, they could decide otherwise - or being forced to - at any point in the future. Once there's a door and there's a key, they key will be used to open the door, and it will be used for any future purpose the key owner wants to.
C++ for gpgpu was more of an afterthought in nvcc, wasn't it. I would be surprised if not most cuda kernels are written in plain C.
Well, buried in the middle of this article is an important point:

> In fact, as of the fall 2019 semester, Gerber had been officially enrolled only at the university in China, not at St. Gallen.

So he was a Swiss person doing a PhD at a Chinese university. His relationship with the professor at the Swiss university was an unofficial one, so the word 'dismissal' here is pretty misleading. No information about what happened to his actual PhD program at the Chinese university that I noticed.

The actual evidence of chinese influence?

> She said she had received a message from a Chinese doctoral student doing research at a Canadian university.

So, it sure sounds like some people had their feelings hurt.

My totally made-up hypothesis on this article: honest reporter researched a story, realised it was pretty weak, then when they wrote it up shuffled things around a bit to give an exaggerated impact, but couldn't bring themselves to lie or leave out any facts.
I used to go on dates when I could barely afford to sit in a cafe. It was glorious. I've met women, had great time,etc. Never did any fine dining on any of my dates and it was fine.

I'm sure many indians do the same and instead of going to super duper restaurant, they adjust based on their income level and do something else instead.
In my experience, LineageOS without gapps or microg is plenty usable. I get all my apps from F-Droid and have for years. I don't feel like I'm missing anything major. I'm sure this won't work for some people, but it's an option worth mentioning.

Also, for this reason I shy away from alternatives to LineageOS which include microg by default. I don't want it.
The difference now is that they couldn't be used officially and at least, in principle, three letters agencies had to go through a legal process for unmasking.

Now there's a constant search warrant on your phone that can be used against you in a court of law.
I was surprised by this statement as well. I think the author wanted to paint a picture how miserable things are. Things definitely are difficult for them financially.
The prices stated however is bit too over exaggerated. A dinner that starts at $47 in India is something would have made me think 10 times before going for it. You can have a really good dinner for two at 10$ at a nice restaurant in India.
What's actually happening is that a mechanism is being introduced that makes it easy to censor anything Apple wants censored. Apple promises to only use it for child pornography.

Apple, however, is still not a sovereign state, and as such must bow to the wishes of actual sovereign states. Sovereign states have proven again and again that they will grab as much power as they can, and doing it insidiously, in the form of a private database of hashes of undesired content, is especially attractive to them.

This is not a hypothetical. For a real-world example look to England where its nation-wide internet blocking system is already used beyond its original scope. Or think of what countries like China will certainly do with such a mechanism. Scope creep, in the form of power grabs by nation states, is a realistic concern, based on vast historical experience, not a fallacy.

Apart from the concern of scope creep, there is also the concern of false positives. When deployed on such a scale, there will undoubtedly be perfectly legimate images being flagged. I'm not happy about my phone containing software that's always vigilant, ready to ruin my life over a false positive.
I don't want to get too political, but things were different before the 2017 tax law change. The main point, overseas Americans still have to pay US taxes, was true before then. But, pre-2017, they could deduct what they paid to the country they were residing in. This meant, in reality, the vast majority of expats did not have to pay US taxes.

It's quite possible that the Democrats will, if they modify the tax system, undo that change. That might be why investment firms hesitate to have you as a client. Although, unless you are using tax-advantaged accounts, it shouldn't be that much extra paperwork for them.

As for rich people gaming the system - I can imagine Bezos et al. would not mind living in the Caymans for a year while he sold all his stock to pay no taxes. If you can determine when you pay taxes, that's a huge benefit.
Sure, but the parents can then unlock and go thru the phone and out the poor kid.

We cannot stop all crime. There will never be a day where we stop all crime. It is not an achievable goal nor is it desirable because what constitutes a crime is written by the governments of the world and we have tens of thousands of years of reigning authorities to tell us that they will abuse the power they are invested with to protect themselves.

Authority and its keeping is the number two law of the jungle. Any power handed over in the name of security, "to stop all crime", is an affirmation, a concretization of its future abuse. You speak of the calculated cost of preventing child abuse as acceptable. What of the abuse of an entire people?

This is not handwavy theoreticals. We already know what happens, in the US, when you push an agenda in the name of protecting the children: it looks like FOSTA/SESTA, which has driven sex workers of America underground and exposed them to more violence, more danger in a profession already one of the most murderous professions in the world. Those murders, in the name of protecting the young, are at the feet of the people who would protect the children with more authority.
Have you paid attention lately? Politicians only want to react to the lowest common denominator. Your average Joe/Joette doesn't know jack about encryption or hashing. So to them this is just tech mumbo jumbo and "thinking of the children" and they simply won't care that it's 1 step removed government spying. After it happens China has full backend door to upload Pooh hashes to ban political dissidents using memes. Next comes the FBI and CIA with their own hashes to find "the terrorists" and on and on. This is just a toe in the door for governments to abuse the iphone and iphone users and Apple doesn't seem to care.
> my generation as a whole seems a bit more open minded with a lot of things compared to previous ones

I know this isn't your main point, but I don't see much difference so far. I think the internet has allowed people who don't fit in locally to fit in with groups they find online, which is good, but that's been happening for 30 years.
Even though the article captures a good amount of truth about the lifestyle, the dinner pricing might need a bit of context. The top 5% of the restaurants might cost more than a hundred bucks for two people but that should be expected from the high-end four star and five star restaurants. I'm an Indian engineer who earns in USD, and even if I'm picky, my per meal is always between $3 - $5. Even if I'm going for keto or specialised meals, it never goes beyond $10.
But you do like ice cream? You like millions of animals getting killed? People getting killed from antibiotics no longer working? Water shortages? The planet getting killed?

I don't know what you're trying to achieve with your comment, but I'm quite sure I didn't turn you vegan just now.

Even if you care about not killing the planet, what matters is not that you make it clear that you do, but that you're effective in preventing that from happening.
It's a matter of perspective though. Would you rather be with the love of your life and not have much disposable income or vice versa? I've actually experienced the opposite - living in Delhi with plenty of disposable income but no way to meet people, let alone women. I just hung out at home playing video games.

Would I trade places with them? No, I was content with my life. But would these folks swap with me? Based on how happy they are with each other, I'd guess not.
It's a paradox if one sees it as a moral attitude, but it's actually a peace treaty.

It's not about whether it was stupid what he's done. It's about the fact that China has this much influence on Swiss education.

Acting concerned in discussions would be a start. Choosing what services to use, what product to buy, what media to consume, not just because that's the easiest. Limit their involvment in this, even professionnally, if they can.

It doesn't need to be perfect. People have constraints, and life is hard.

But politicians and busines people don't care about being good or bad. They just follow the wind.

Now being gay is trendy, well, they are pro gay.

More people care about organic, they sell organic.

Just caring a little, demonstarting a little that we disaprove and want something else orient their decisions. Because their decisions are not driven by moral, it's just business.

Also, even if you don't do any of this, and I can believe I have to even state this, not teasing or shaming those who do would be an improvement.

A dinner at an expensive hotel in Mumbai, an expensive city cost me 5k. I really couldn't imagine paying more than that. The author was exaggerating for effect, claiming 8k was typical. It's much more likely to be 1-1.5k.
Additionally, this framing - of MAGA vs. BLM - is also unreasonable. Hiring processes are by design discriminatory; people don't just hire at random. There's no reason to assume public statements by a candidate that appear to fall in a pro-BLM bucket would be as attractive to the hiring process as statements that fall in a MAGA bucket would be unattractive; those two things likely have nothing to do with each other when it comes to hiring.

In other words, regardless of actually instances of discrimination, this framing looks chosen to try and create or sustain the so-called culture war.
I'm disabled so when I was child my playtime was tightly controlled as my parents were worried that I might get hurt so I played with toys and thereby electronics.

When I was a teen I understood that I'm a liability in sports although my friends tried to be inclusive so again I spent my time doing nerdy things alone until I got my computer and naturally became good at it.

In college I was forced to take on Computer Science by my parents as they felt it was the least physically tasking yet provides a good career; They were right.

Even though my story fits the narrative of socially awkward being good with computers, as a disabled I didn't have much of choice and I feel this might be true for many.
what point are you tring to make? Because mine is that it has nothing to do with "native". There are more English speakers, native and non-native, who are multilingual than speakers of any other language, yet they chose to make content in English, instead of multilingual to reach a wider audience.
The issue is its not a Chinese perspective, it's the CCP perspective. The Hong Kong narrative inside the mainland is heavily guided by the media in China. You average Chinese person either has no opinion or just repeats the Party line, because they don't know much else.
I use the Basic 1CPU/2GB RAM/5GB SSD instance, $10/mo on the DO price page.

If you can turn your instance off when you're not using it that tells me it doesn't have any load other than you remoting into it. Why not start with the smallest instance and see if you max it out? Developing remotely over SSH the network latency is a bigger drag than not enough CPUs or RAM, but it depends on what you're doing.

If you're running a business hosting and domain registration and all that are deductible business expenses anyway. Seems like a very small amount to worry about even if you need the $40/mo VPS.

>The prospective bride and bridegroom consider multiple or even dozens of options, and discuss their favorites with their parents or other close relatives.

>If either person finds a major red-flag during this time, they have the (rarely-used) nuclear option of breaking the engagement.

In India, this happens very rarely and mostly among the upper-classes. I'm guessing the Indian couples you know fall in that criteria. In many normal middle-income (or lower-income, by US standards) households, young adults don't even perceive the idea of having a freedom to choose their spouses, let alone dating or courting partners.

> "Arranged marriage" in an Indian context doesn't necessarily imply "parents tell you who to marry".

You're right about this in some cases, but in almost all other cases it also doesn't imply "you can marry whoever you want".

The annoying thing about unlocking or relocking the bootloader is that it wipes your phone. Unless you're paranoid that someone can give you a rootkit while you're not looking, as long as you use full device encryption then leaving the bootloader unlocked isn't too bad. Plus, it lets you upgrade your bootloader and OS later. I stupidly relocked the bootloader after installing LineageOS and now I can't upgrade the OS major version without wiping everything.
