I do not, but I might. The point is that at we all (at least the ones who plan it) subtly factor how supportive our work environments are for having a child, and in that way the leave policies would definitely change the equation at least for some if not all parents. Further, while it might not change someone’s mind if they weren’t gonna have a child, at the least it will make them decide if they want to do it _today_ instead of a few years later.

I’m also not against such leaves; while I’m not able to articulate it correctly, I feel there’s definitely something “not fair” about the system. A coworker who took a paternity leave did not necessarily have fun but they arguably ended up with something far more valuable in their life (a child), so as painful as the Time you spend in those days might be you get actual happiness from it. Again, good for you! No ill-will at all!

I just wanted to propose a system that might just be better. Whether you want to have kids or not you get that much time off every two years. Have a kid, great. Don’t have a kid, also great.

As a Google employee I would expect very few cases of unauthorized user data access. There are lot of security checks around access to user data. I would guess that almost nobody has raw untracked access to sensitive data. Some engineers may have direct access to storage layer, but wouldn't be able to read the data because it is encrypted. Some others could read the data, but can't do it without all of their operations being logged and potentially audited.

If it’s raw data and not simply actual disk use divided by users, I would guess the savings from compression likely pale in comparison to metadata such as indices, backups and other overhead.

I wonder how many of the billion PC’s Microsoft likes to brag that are currently running Windows 10 will be eligible to upgrade to 11?

The decision to make these requirements mandatory will have a significant environmental and economic impact for Windows users around the world.

While Windows 10 will be supported until 2025, that isn’t that long away, and at that time hundreds of millions of computers will stop receiving security updates. I also wonder if in 3 and 1/2 years Windows 10 will become a huge botnet once zero days are discovered and never patched.

This is definitely not the most important reason to keep `alert`, but I'd like to share it anyway:

My girlfriend recently decided that she wants to learn programming. Given that she already knows some HTML and CSS, I thought JavaScript was the best option as her very first language, as she could apply what she learns easily. So I decided to teach her programming with JS.

In these lessons I've been teaching her how to do basic input and output using `alert`, `prompt` and `confirm`. I know these are almost never used in professional projects, but for beginners these are very practical. They are easy to use and you can test everything in the browser without having to deal with all the overwhelming complexity of the usual JS toolchains. It's so sad that they are going away :( This definitely would make JS a bit less appealing for the complete beginner.

Interesting the comments here, rather than addressing the issue of "is it okay for Apple to force implementation of their own services in addition to others" the discussion is more "well, nobody's _forcing_ you to do this".

When does it stop then? If Spotify releases their app to the store, do they have to include Apple music functionality in their app? If I have an app with a "listen to this on spotify" button, do I also have to have a "listen to this on Apple music" button?

It's not about how ridiculous the conspiracy theory is when considering the full context. Obviously it's not the case that the US is using the COVID vaccines to experiment on certain races while excluding others.

It's about why someone might believe such a thing and what you can to do to try to convince them otherwise.

"They use the same vials" isn't a great argument to give to a skeptic. Unless you manage to get in the back rooms and observe the full chain of custody of every syringe, you can't know for sure you're getting the same thing as someone else.

If your existing prior is that you are likely being deceived and tricked into receiving something that may harm you, it's rational to think they'll use techniques to make it seem like you aren't receiving any special treatment.

You can’t do a byte-for-byte hash on images because a slight resize or minor edit will dramatically change the hash, without really modifying the image in a meaningful way.

But image hashes are “perceptual” in the sense that the hash changes proportionally with the image. This is how reverse image searching works, and why it works so well.
I think the argument is that while a good amount of my daily web browser usage might like that feature (as I do in fact use it as an application sandbox), a vanishingly small number of the separate web sites I visit on any given day (which are all one-off pieces of content I am accessing) need that to functionality, and I can whitelist them by turning JS on for them, as they are also pretty much the same few websites every day.

I went to an exhibition (Sagmeister & Walsh: Beauty) where they dedicated some part to this. They claim that classical buildings are usually beautiful thanks to all the details and that modernist buildings are usually not so beutiful thanks to the missing details.

They also had this experiment where the visitors choose shapes and colours they find pretty. Rectangles and brown-red were the least favourite by far. And then they asked why do we build buildings out of the vomponents we find the most hideous?

I have my doubts whether their reasoning is valid, but it is somewhat relevant to your comment.

Tesla doesn't integrate with any personal assistants natively. There are 3rd party solutions (Alexa skills, etc.) available that can report on and control things ("What is the state of charge?", "Turn on the heater", etc.)

Generally, I find these solutions not very user friendly at all and not well integrated. And I'm personally a bit wary about the security of it all. Giving a 3rd party access to my calendar is one thing; letting them control my car is something different.
The question is how to engineer those kinds of emergent situations where you just wind up with a bunch of $$$ - in a way that you'll be fine with looking back on later.

It's weird. On the one hand it feels like "lateral creativity + honesty = unicorn", like "never the twain shall meet", but on the other hand I can't come up with a good rigorous explanation for why that's the case.

No, I'd expect it to mean free refills for me for the duration of my meal, like most people would.

My point is, there is quite an involved pricing model - 5 tiers, each tier has multiple charges in it, none of them obviously correspond to the advertising on the front page. They even repeatedly use the phrase "for X MB" which is unclear to me. I first read it as storage. I assume it means total upload/download? The numbers for this on other devices on the front page are not mentioned on the pricing page. Charging categories also have a mixture of sold-by-the-MB and sold-by-usage, as well as pre-sold - within a single tier.

The front page is selling "look, it's very clear and simple" and it's just obviously not clear and simple. Unclear why that view garners downvotes - this is honest feedback about their marketing and pricing. Even if they are mostly talking about the free tier, it's not clear
Is this anything new, though? The communications haven't been E2E protected ever since people started using phones.
Nope. The same philosophy of imperfect design can be held to imperfect naming as well. When will this unexpectedly-intelligent behaviour that belies its name ever bite a user in the ass? Hardly ever? Then it's fine to have a slightly dishonest name if it means a more straightforward API.

To be clear it's still a tradeoff. But I think JodaTime did the right call by settling for the simpler name in this situation.
FreeBSD differs quite substantially from the XNU kernel used by MacOS because XNU is based on Mach, and it was forked (Edit: from 4.3BSD) in 1988 - before Linux even existed.

The XNU kernel does not have a stable syscall ABI so perhaps it doesn't matter if the syscalls are different because the implementation of libSystem can convert as appropriate in userspace (see also: WINE).

Yes, using the term liable was a mistake. I meant "responsible".

I also should have put my last sentence in its own paragraph.

I stand by this, and consider...

You are a CFO of a subsidiary. You have certain legal requirements. Only certain people may speak for your org, be it CxO level, or the board.

If you discover a board member speaking as if it has CxO level authority, or worse, some non-board, or CxO actor running around, claiming to represent your company on financial matters, you must seek and act on that malfeasance. You cannot simply allow someone, with your knowledge, to speak for your corp, without approval.

The board / directors appoint top execs, giving them executive power. No one else may claim it.

So, someone running around, negotiating salary deals, speaking for a subcorp? Very shady, hard to believe it would not get back to the board or that the board or executive branch did not know.

Its actually more akin to being a french citizen hacking germany from thailand.

France and Germany are alies, both want to see said citizen punished. On completion of jail time the person would be deported anyway, so why not cut out a few steps and make the whole thing go a lot smoother. A bit of diplomacy behind the scenes to set it up saves years of back and forth defending their citizens rights while they are in jail in a foreign country, especially with high profile cases.

Australia have attempted this many times, bali nine for example, where they offered to jail them in australia, offered to pay life in prison costs, offered prisoner swaps, etc.
I think this kind of client-side hashing and comparing to a database list is similar to the scanners at every Wal-Mart and the procedures at airports.
Google has an engineering culture that is biased towards chasing the next big thing. If you're not building something new and noteworthy then it's not valuable. This is good for Google as a business, but can hurt consumers by leaving them with dead and dying products. On the other hand, the web is powerful because it is ubiquitous, stable, and democratised.

So you take Google engineers, coach them and reward them for demonstrating impact through building new features. Change is good, stability is bad. Then you put them in charge of the web platform. The natural result is an avalanche of new standards and an inclination to discount the status quo.

Hey, just seen this now.

First of all, thank you for taking your time to do this. I still wish you'd told me before so that I could help you understand a few points before publishing, but I totally get it, good effort. A bit unfortunate that your post got flagged and taken down

A few comments:

> chat keys are ever changed or when (forward secrecy)

Yes, this can be done anytime by any user. Chats -> Settings -> Renew RSA Keys

The Windows client doesn't include any chat capability, it's not just that it isn't E2EE, you simply can't send/receive messages on it. I plan on replacing the Windows client entirely with a web version, it's only there for some few users who really need it

>it's legal to have a directory of all registered users and email addresses accessible to all users

This is not the case. Users can only see other people's contact details when they are in the same "Group". Otherwise, both email address and name is hidden

>On Android, the standard `Random` is not entirely[5] based on current system time, but it does not seem like Codename One uses that. The documentation says it's purely time-based.

I think you may have missed that every message is encrypted with the ChatKey but also with a different IV each time. This ensures each message originates from a different seed

Don't know if you can update your post with this info? Anyway, thanks again and happy to discuss! I might have missed some points. Tbh the E2EE chat isn't really used by loads of people and in retrospective I should have made it non-E2E since most users use the app for its organigrams and not for secure comms. I just did it this way for fun

Edit: One last note

>If you're going to use a closed-source E2EE chat application, you might as well use WhatsApp

The problem with Whatsapp is backups. They kind of make E2E pointless

> Any enterprise user should abandon such software as soon as possible.

Is that a problem? I honestly don't understand. The goal of Free Software is to act as a kind of collective open source utopia of people who write software that only benefits the other person who agree with the utopia, as part of a giant battle against the people who don't... it is hard for me to believe any "enterprise user" believes in the utopia.
Hahaha. What do you do when you’re travelling past international borders and they ask you for a passport? Do you chuckle them too?

Or let me guess, you don’t travel out of England at all so you can avoid the tyranny of passport checkers?

Or do you do the sane thing and show your passport? So then you concede that in certain cases at least the State has a compelling interest in verifying a person’s papers.
