This is alot of words that dont actually say anything other than "Georgia" bad.

Your position is that a black educator in the Atlanta Public School system that has a black mayor and is defiantly against the mainstream of rural southern politics, decided to segregate the students for what reason exactly?

I would venture to guess using this weird thing called "empathy" where i try to look at the other side in good faith is that the female POC Principal wanted to make sure there were classes where the black students werent a small minority in their classes. My understanding of how the makeup of this school in particular was that it was not made up of predominantly black students and that the classes the black students were concentrated into were about half black when it came to students.

I would further venture to guess that it was just a tone def attempt to make it so those students were around "more people like them". This is the whole rationale of poc only safe spaces on college campuses.

Alternatively there was some conspiracy where the black female principal was pressured into doing this by someone. Seeing as how the Atlanta school board immediately cracked down on it that seems unlikely. But maybe the evil pta pressured her? Let me know which scenario you think is more likely.
Its likely that studios are pushing this requirement into Netflix.

The studios probably have seen the VPN ads everywhere marketing how easy it is to circumvent Netflix’s (and other’s) regional blocks
It is not, it is creating platform echo chambers.

The video is not taken offline, it was just taken off YT. So you end up with silo's of information where different groups of people have a different reality, which IMO is even more dangerous than misinformation, because it makes it harder to see alternate opinions if all your info is silo'ed
The groups you cite are civil rights relevant. Do you think Rand Paul's thoughts are an expression of his religion or evidence of a handicap?
> they pay the price for it, then they say we were right

What are you referring to?
His qualifications are irrelevant if he's deliberately putting out misleading information in pursuit of a political goal.

Also, a medical license doesn't qualify a person as an epidemiologist or any other such expert, especially given that his license is in opthalmology.

Let's also not forget that he created a bogus certification board, started by family members, to certify his ability to practice. He's not currently certified to practice medicine by any legitimate medical organization.

> But companies are not paying Fitch to rate them are they.

They often are.

A lot of times a large investor pays them to look at a possible investment, and this case is quite ok. But the official ratings they are listed with are set by a third party mandating the company "go pay Fitch to rank you". It's not plain bribery like companies paying reviewers, but it's quite shady.

Yeah, because everything not libertarian must be Stalinism; there is nothing, has never been anything, and cannot ever be anything in between.
The copyright applies to a specific viewing of a movie, not the purchase of a license. They can't enable their users to break license or they'll loose their right to distribute content.
A Medical Doctor certified in his field (ophthalmology, a little different to epidemiology) by the licensing body HE created, because the actual licensing body for ophthalmologists would not certify him because he would not (and according to some, could not) maintain the required standards/knowledge.

Indeed, his own licensing body (which to be clear has not been accepted by any organizations) utilizes a certifying exam _written by_ Rand Paul, and is open book. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this exam, he did pass.

Oh, he was also the first member of Senator to test positive for COVID. And after being exposed, and tested, continued to attend Senate events and lunches and use Senate facilities including the gym because in his "expert opinion" it was "extremely unlikely" he had COVID.

It's something that frankly scares me about the career. I'm still young enough with lucky genetics that still get me carded at the liquor store. Yet, I really fear that in the future I'll get rejected from a company because "We are worried you won't be able to learn the new tech".

I've been saving aggressively for retirement for just that reason.

Remember the concept of nerd-sniping? https://xkcd.com/356/ 99% of people, including the sharp and educated people at HN, zealously debate the merits of masks, or the proper priority of individual rights, etc.

But take a step above all of this for a second. Let's say your mask reduces the speed of the spread. Say you wear an N95, and you reduce your chances of getting it in any one day, to near 0. Well that will work...until you take it off. One day, you will have to take it off. And the virus will be right there waiting for you.

Masks may "work" in terms of slowing things, but they don't work in terms of increasing your lifespan more than a few minutes on average, or ending the pandemic. Vaccines do that, or lots of people surviving an infection.

Remember that for all that time in Nov-Jan last winter in the West, everybody and his dog was wearing a mask. Yet more people than ever got it anyway.
There's so much contradictory science on what you're claiming as ultimate truth.

There's paper saying masks don't work there's paper saying masks do work.

This is not a conclusive settled fact.

> I used to suffer from the lack of "why" too until one day it dawned on me that there really isn't a why, or maybe, the why is always the same: for engineers doing classical physics solving problems by hand, it's convenient to define it that way. No more, no less.

'Why' is shorthand for a description of the context of the operation or method being taught. My senior high-school experience was that my maths teacher just plowed through the curriculum from limits to derivatives to integrals and beyond without explaining what each was used for or why. I managed to scrape a pass in high-school calculus but never grew beyond the most rudimentary of understanding until I was taught by a university lecturer who invested time in explaining the why.

The backbone of my mental schema is narrative, so just throwing equations and processes at me does not cause the knowledge to "stick".

Teaching me that Gauss had a problem X that he tried to solve by Y, then showing me what he discovered process N, is invaluable to me because it aids my recall.
> Can you quantify the "needless development churn and hassle for both customers and our support team" in some way?

Sure, happy to elaborate on that! Since we were rebuilding our app from the ground up, it was a significant slow-down on development to create a user interface for both Electron and SwiftUI, requiring two separate teams of platform developers for every feature we needed to implement. There were also concerns by the documentation and support teams that we would need two separate sets of instructions for many common tasks, due to small differences in layout and look between the applications. Eventually, we had to make the tough decision to focus on a single common framework for desktop. This will allow us to ship features across every single platform far quicker than we could before.

> I'd be hopeful that whatever tradeoffs y'all will be making moving to Electron, the "native" feel of the macOS client wouldn't be sacrificed.

We've tried our very best to keep the experience the same so that the transition from 7 to 8 is smooth, and from my point of view 1Password 8 feels right at home on macOS - I especially love our new translucent sidebar. That being said, this is still in an early access stage, so there are bound to be hiccups and UI issues that need to be resolved. Please let us know if you run into any problems or have suggestions on how we can improve. And thank you for being a long-time user!
> His comment was on masks reducing the risk of you getting infected, not infecting others.

His comment was extremely ambiguous and certainly sounded to me like he was claiming masks don't work as a tool to fight the pandemic, or at least carefully choosing his works to align himself with the factions in his base that believe they don't.

If you want to say the words "masks don't work", in a screed arguing against masks mandates, you need to be a whole lot more careful than that. And Paul isn't a careless guy, he knew what the fuck he was saying.
I've been saying for a year or more that Uber is a "Money for the Management" scam, which extracts money from drivers and investors. Once the investors and/or the drivers dry up, there'll be no more Uber.

Rand Paul was an eye doctor.
I see you'd been here a lot longer than I have so you know you're fighting a lost battle. I am surprised how tech folks, that I always thought had a libertarian bent, have gone full on religious conformist due to covid. I like to read HN for the tech discussions and have a bad habit of getting drawn in to these silly religious things. All I can say is I hope the mainstream extremist view here is not representative of real people.

But of course Covid is killing people, so we should abandon centuries of liberal democratic tradition and hard fought freedoms to continue the great work we've done stopping it.
Docker on Mac is a no go for even a modest monorepo size. I took at look at it at my previous company where we have a 4.5GB full checkout and the IO just tanked building. It's sad really because I think could configure a VM to operate with better IO but it's not as straightforward to get that configured with the Docker for Mac system and I didn't think it was worth the complexity add for our whole engineering org.
I’ve been very happy with Fork on macOS. Paid for it a few years ago and never been asked to pay for a new version, even though I totally would at this point.

A couple of times when I’ve had support queries I’ve got quick email responses directly from the developer too.

Reading this is a bit humorous except for some of the tragedies with not being able to locate people. I do wonder if the fault is what three words and their API or if it's the fault of the location systems on the phone or how the app interfaces with the location system.

I've played around a bit with their API and you just send it coordinates and it kicks back the words for it. This may be garbage and garbage out principle at work. I was using JavaScript to request locations from the browser and even when you allow to find location it would still very quite a bit on what it would retrieve.
Ask HN: Is there a difference between no code and SaaS
Hey HN, I wanted to know the communities thoughts on whether there was any actual difference between no code and SaaS products. Is no code just a new marketing term for more usable SaaS?
Because your programmers don't know SQL and don't want to. In an ideal world of perfectly spherical programmers, choosing JavaScript would be completely orthogonal to database choice, but in reality one common symptom of JavaScriptitis is considering SQL an old relic that's too much of a pain in the ass to learn. Thankfully, MongoDB's query language is JavaScript and its result sets are JSON objects.

To be fair, this sort of feeling toward SQL is not found uniquely among JavaScript programmers; one major reason why we have ORM hell is because a previous generation of programmers did not want to leave the warm cocoon of treating data as objects in Java.

I, for one, wouldn't think that was crazy, no. Not when the preventability of those deaths is proportional to how well people stick to pandemic mitigation protocol. Very, very few people are willing to just shrug and say "600,000 preventable deaths is acceptable" in this context.

The pandemic creates challenges that are uniquely tuned to impact the American "rugged individualism" approach to problem solving that works well in most circumstances. Pandemic mitigation is a serious collective action problem (at the limit, it wouldn't take more than total isolation for four weeks to completely burn the virus out... And that's never going to happen in the United States, nor should anyone expect it to).
Obviously there isn't collective agreement for a mandate. Are you saying the government should impose a mandate without collectively deciding, or even debating?
Not really. If there’s an alternative App Store, then apps in that store can use private APIs and there’s nothing Apple can do to stop them. If there is only one App Store and it’s run by Apple, then if an app tries to use private APIs, then Apple can kick them out of the App Store.

This really is an all or nothing deal.

Once you jailbreak your device, or allow an alternative App Store, it’s game over for that device.
The (signed) prekeys are public information about a user, although unlike their long term Identity key the prekey is replaced periodically to help ensure Forward Secrecy. The signature means Alice knows she was given Bob's real public prekey and not a fake, but she doesn't get a different prekey (or signature) than Charlie or Deborah if they ask in roughly the same time period.

A loose equivalent in the OpenPGP world would be a user's temporary encryption keys, which may change sometimes while your signing key stays unchanged. I don't know how common this practice is today, I know it was common years ago. Clearly knowing Alice's most recent temporary encryption public key, signed by Alice's signing key, would not prove a message you showed me was from Alice.

> Signal protocol is somewhat baroque.

I agree it seems more complicated in principle than OpenPGP, although I think it's hard to make that argument for the practical deployment of OpenPGP because of the complexity of delivering compatibility.

But Signal's complexity has a specific purpose. For example those three DH pairs are combined together with a KDF so that 1. Bob learns whether the message is really from Alice (assuming Bob is not the protagonist of the movie Memento and so remember if he forged the message); 2. Alice knows the message can only be received by Bob (to the extent she verified Bob's identity, which is an out-of-band problem), and 3. A fresh random Forward Secret key is used for the conversation. Three desired properties, run DH three times.

It is definitely possible that cryptographers will come along and say "Oh, we can do this in a single function" and write like fifty pages of difficult maths and one day we get a replacement for Signal with "simpler" (although like Elliptic Curve maybe not simpler to explain) cryptography than this. Definitely possible, but these moving parts all have a purpose AFAIU today.

I used GitKraken on Linux a few years ago and never liked it. It would chug and really struggle with even moderate sized repos—not sure if they’ve improved performance since.

It’s very out-of-place design wise compared to Tower too, being an Electron app.
Which is kind of a problem, because all this does is provide choice to developers, not to users.
I very much doubt the app would be available on both stores but cheaper on the FB one. Instead, the developer will pocket more money on the FB store, while the apps wont function without all kinds of permissions requires to accept.

For folks looking for a pay-for-it-once app with Mac, iOS, Android and Windows clients, that can sync via Dropbox or Webdav:

https://www.passwordwallet.com/

I've been using this for probably a decade now. The UI is ugly as sin, but it works well. I use the Apple Keychain for almost everything, but for my critical passwords, I have copies in PasswordWallet.

PasswordWallet has one feature on macOS that I've not seen in any other app: auto-type, for those times you can't paste into a password field. I use it rarely, but it's nice to have when I need it.

(I have no idea if the Android or Windows clients are any good. I use it only on macOS and iOS.)
Even if content license holders don't require Netflix to go above and beyond, building sophisticated DRM is a moat against other streaming services. If Netflix can build a sophisticated VPN-detection service, copyright holders will be much less willing to license their content to upstarts who can't match its capabilities.

In the same vein, it can be rational behavior for a market leader who deals in private information (most online advertising companies) to advocate for consumer privacy protections. It "hurts" them, but if the resulting regulations are so onerous that only incumbent(s) can comply, it can restrict the competitive landscape and paradoxically be advantageous to the existing leaders.

Geographic licensing of content was technologically superseded by the internet. It’s an inefficiency that distributors are desperately trying to hold on to so they can leverage a profit from it.

But the fact that it’s an entirely artificial inefficiency, means it’s possible to completely ignore it. If somebody’s geo-circumventions are thwarted, they’re just going to return to old fashion piracy most of the time.

It’s a system that turns some paying customers into slightly higher-paying customers via market segmentation, but it turns a lot of paying customers into entirely non-paying customers. Eventually the TV and Movie industry will get to the point where they no longer think it’s worth it, and go the way of the music industry which doesn’t have a geo-restriction problem, or a piracy one.
What I don't get is why having a German VPN IP with an account that has a German billing address is a problem. The VPN restrictions simply shouldn't be relevant in this case as we aren't trying to access content not available here.
