No, they don't. They may be a method of censorship resistance, but they weren't designed that way.
Audited for backdoors? Wishful thinking. Someone some years ago said they've added (some years before) backdoors to the OpenBSD IPSec implementation. The consensus is "its probably bullshit" and not "no, we checked and we can guarantee there is no backdoor". The lesson (in case you missed it) is that for crypto code, there are a hand full of guys that actually understand what is going on and how to implement and bypass something, and half of them work for the government. OpenBSD is too obscure for someone to care? See the TrueCrypt case.
oh right, my home lab server, that must be around here somewhere...
Hopefully a native developer like Panic picks up the torch. iCloud Keychain is ok but it’s very limited
I've been a happy user of the same version of 1Password 6 for many years, the last non-subscription version. It still works on MacOS Big Sur, and the classic extensions work in Firefox and Chrome (though not safari on the mac). When it stops working, I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.
I believe bitcoin is doomed to remain marginal. I also believe in the principles in the article.

I'm just betting on freedom being defeated tyranny.

As long as you have to pay federal taxes and fees in US dollars, under threat of violence, for simply existing, bitcoin will remain a fringe system.
I'd have to see the build quality on the 3d printer. FWIW the AxiDraw is pretty robust. You can buy cheap knockoffs from Chinese manufacturers for about half the price but they come with compromises.
People probably should. If the acronym includes Netflix, it definitely needs to include MS, they’re way bigger.
>or in some other way offered for free

bitwarden is free (and open source) and it has just about every feature that the paid ones have. Sync across devices, desktop and mobile clients, notes etc. One of the best pieces of open source software of the last few years and I have no idea why people are paying subscription fees.
I always thought it was more appropriate for most purposes. But on HN, perhaps the most common purpose is discussing ludicrous total comp. And, at least when I left in 2010, Microsoft most certainly did not offer that. I heard that they raised pay across the board shortly after I left, but considering where they started, I’d be shocked if it put them on par with FAANG. Anybody know?
Sounds like something to aspire to!
Sure, if you're in Italy. TFA is not.

Of course, TFA lists the Celsius measurement in the first sentence, but who reads articles these days?

UC Berkeley, one of the two marquis colleges in the area, is sometimes jokingly referred to as UC Beijing. Any guess as to why?
I agree with everything Stross said here, but I don't think he characterized the speed-of-light verification mechanism well.

He proposed it in his novel "Neptune's Brood" in 2013 and it is described in some more detail here: https://web.archive.org/web/20210514225451/http://www.antipo... (original at http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2014/09/crib-she... but the site is dying)

I think it merits some formal consideration, a scifi novel isn't a whitepaper, but I think the concept has promise. You can't cheat the speed of light without finding a few jupiters worth of exotic matter.
You know what else is costing lives? The US government weaponizing healthcare against black communities.

Do you know what would restore that trust? Transparently telling people that no matter what medical issue, they won't have to pay or go into debt.
Trying not to be totally contrarian :) so with following expressions I am not a smart ass, only setting up sentences in such way to convey what I think is hard problem in delivering software.

But good luck if you have 5 X(lang) developers to make that decision to go with Rust.

If you have to deliver v1 of a product and have limited budget, good luck hiring 5 brand new Rust developers.

What I learned as boy scout - first you have to have people that want to do the work - having loads of money can help but most of the time we don't have unlimited supply of money.

Having people who want to do the job beats everything.

People that are deep in tech X(or lang) rarely switch to something else and then you still have to take into account that they will write X in Rust which might not be the best way of doing things.

On the other hand if we assume spherical cows or unlimited budgets/unlimited time frames for a project - we can discuss getting X devs to write in Y language.
Seems like the bill would hit them back, since you would just disable Verizons app store, as it would no doubt be shitty.

The telcos really, really, really do not like to be a dump pipe and just give users cheap minutes and data. I don't see why - the oil companies have made some of the largest fortunes in the world selling commodities.
Yes, the first one, absolutely. "We can print money, and no one will stop us"

Crop factor is only an advantage for APS-C cameras where the pixel density is higher than the comparable FF camera. That's not always true, eg I have a Sony a7Riv, which has 26MP in crop mode (more than APS-C cameras).

The "croppability" of the image is not really a function of the sensor size, it's a function of pixel density. APS-C cameras used to have higher pixel density than FF cameras, but that hasn't been universally true recently.
If we're actually gonna do this, can we at least rearrange and make it "MAFANG"?

This is a frustration for those who see themselves as planning for the future. The obvious renter vs. landlord issue going on right now is a huge talking point. Many renters haven't paid for over a year because they were "protected" even though many of them didn't stop working and even if they did they got unemployment benefits that more than made up their income. Landlords are not oblivious to this fact and are frustrated at having to subsidize the renters...but the government is rewarding it because "think of the poor people".

Example:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/evicted-despite-federal-moratoriu...

>Dejonae King, 33, held back tears after she lost her eviction appeal. King was laid off from Walgreens and has been without a job for most of the pandemic. She had not paid the $253 weekly rent on her one-bedroom apartment since July 2020.

So where did her unemployment money go? $600/week extra initially and now "only" $300/week extra. She is $14K overdue in rent...and seems surprised that she will eventually be kicked out.
Huh, so there we are again:

* you write code in VSCode (developed by Microsoft)

* using Codespaces (created by Microsoft)

* in TypeScript (developed by Microsoft)

* downloading libraries from NPM (owned by Microsoft)

* pushing your code to Github (owned by Microsoft)

* to run it on Azure (by Microsoft)

and on top of that you read email about the launch of a new feature in Outlook and celebrate it with your colleagues on Microsoft Teams...
> Luckily I get this just often enough that I don't fall into a catatonic mess of anxiety.

So this is the sticking point for me: is it really _impostor syndrome_ if it's not disproportionate and negatively impactful? What you're describing just seems like normal, mostly healthy, reasonable critical self reflection?

To me the syndrome part of it is the overwhelming runaway thoughts part.

First time I've seen it too, but I find it more fitting actually. I see Microsoft as a lot more of a tech giant than Netflix, but maybe Im judging by the wrong criteria.
Why is that? If an App Store is cruel to the app developers, either through terms or actions, why should developers be forced to support them?

This is particularly important for stores like Amazon which dictate things you're allowed to do with your app outside of the Amazon store. (i.e., you can't charge a lower fee outside of Amazon regardless of what Amazon is charging you.)
Bringing up owning a junk car is not relevant if there aren’t enough to make that feasible. I suspect there aren’t enough to make that a feasible options except for a small percent of the people at the margins given that junk cars are likely already prevalent for such people. I quote an average cost of ownership because I have no other stats. Junk cars do cost more to maintain and a person at the margins likely ends up paying credit card debt to service repairs.

Car ownership is expensive. It would be much better for a lot of people if we have good public transportation. It would also be healthier for the nation.

The problem is even the best examples of Electron apps aren't great and use far more resources than a native counterpart would.

VS Code is an example of Electron being "used well". I still find myself using other apps because they're more responsive. That tells me that Electron is inherently making the app experience worse, despite being used well

I understand the 'why' of electron, I am just not happy with the results at all.

Though maybe the world is better if that barrier of entry isn't lowered, I'm not sure what's better- a shitty app available everywhere or a good app available only on a couple of platforms...
Of course, but that's not financing. If they post more collateral than the amount they're borrowing, the net amount borrowed is < 0.
Google already complies with that except the default is one big switch AFAIK on android, it's not per-category.
If someone wants to do this in Python, I made a lib for it: pip3 install ansi-escapes

It’s a port of sindresorhus’s ansi-escapes library. I find it way more convenient than looking up codes.

https://github.com/shawwn/ansi-escapes-python

It has some basic iTerm2 support too, so you can print out annotations in the console. Think of it like sticky notes.

See also ansi-styles, the lib that Chalk is based on. (Colors! You like colors? Are you a curmudgeony salt like me that refuses to use Rich for some reason? Use that.)

As with ansi-escapes, you can just pip install ansi-styles.

you don't need vivado to modify the hdl, you need vivado (or some other proprietary xilinx toolchain) to produce the bitstream which actually deploys to the fpga.
1.) The Russia and China do not fall under the purview of this contract as pointed out in another comment.

2.) Since this is paid for by the Gov't it does fall under the 1st amendment and I have a heard time believing that if it was systematically abused that it would go unnoticed or unchallenged.

3.) Do you suggest that no countermeasures be taken against weaponized misinformation and recruiting? Particularly given how well demonstrated its (foreign propaganda's) efficacy is?
They still sell the ER series, but Microtik sounds like what you want.

However, it's likely that your ER-4 will far outlast the majority of devices you can find running OpenWRT. They're very well built units.
Pickup from a map pin, dropoff to a map pin

Traditional taxi services. "I don't know the name of it, but I'm in the big white building opposite the Night Market."

driver follows traffic-aware navigation the whole way

You haven't ridden in a taxi lately. I venture to say that a GPS of some description is standard in all taxis, including things like GMaps and Waze.

payment automatically handled.

Restriction to one form of payment. A Taxi can take cash, card, voucher, or can wait while you borrow money that you haven't got from somebody else.

I still don't see any 'Uber' advantage over a plain old taxi service.
I wonder what the impact will be on the operating systems themselves.

Currently, Android has the ability to run alternate app stores, but there's no way for an "app store" to silently install apps. Every update needs to go through a consent popup unless the phone has been rooted and some security-bypasses have been worked around. I run into this every week in F-Droid.

If this practice is allowed to continue, Apple and Google will just modify their operating systems to add as many popups and warning screens for every install as they legally can.

The only way to get useful app store support that allows competition is to introduce a way to mark an external application as an "app store" that has installation privileges. In my opinion, that part can have all the red tape and warnings, because installation permissions can be very dangerous.

In my opinion, this law is a good thing that should've been introduced years ago, but its implementation will probably take years, with politicians and tech giants flinging shit at each other every chance they get.
It's at least similar. Gay conversion aims for 3 things as far as I can tell:

1) Stop acting on your current sexual feelings

2) Stop having those feelings

3) Start feeling different sexual feelings somehow, but probably not

At the very least the first step is the same, and equally unlikely to happen. I don't know what the current status is with castration or chemical castration for pedophiles but I wholeheartedly support it. I don't really care if they get the help they need, I don't care about them or their dignity or humanity at all. I only care that they don't rape children.
Exactly, and those links you gave are invaluable. I have an overlapping list at: https://www.neilvandyke.org/racket/charterm/#%28part._.Refer...

FWIW, in a low-level cross-terminal API, I made up some concepts that seemed helpful (and there are also a few comments scattered in there, such as hints about why key mapping is less consistent than one would've guessed): https://www.neilvandyke.org/racket/charterm/#%28part._.Termi...
Or you could look at who the author is and see they got their BA and MS in the early '70s and conclude they probably don't have any outstanding student loans 50 years later.
I read your comment as suggesting that this problem only needs to be addressed at the consumption end - that is, by empowering the public with better critical thinking skills. But I fundamentally disagree, both with the premise that people who are affected by misinformation simply lack critical thinking skills, and by the idea that this is a practical solution to the problem.

This perspective is popular among the intellectual crowd because it appeals to our shared love for learning, but also because it's self-congratulatory. It says "if people just had the skills I have, they wouldn't be taken in", but history shows that's not the case as a general statement. We're all affected by advertising, after all.

As for "outsourcing critical thinking to some trusted authority", that's one of the heuristics we all use, no matter how educated we are, and we all have a collection of trusted authorities. Educated people probably tend to have different trusted authorities and different ways of selecting them - they may produce a better outcome but the strategy is very similar.

For my part I think this problem needs to be addressed on the supply /distribution side as well. We need to work against the purveyors of lies and fraud, and that's how it's always been. That was how we cleaned up the patent medicine system and made the stock market more trustworthy, and in some form (probably not through the DoD) we as a society will need strategies to combat other kinds of misinformation as well.
Your anecdata of one doesn't sway my real world experience. Cognitive decline starts at 25 for everyone, and no amount of midwit theory that everyone is equal will change that.

By the way, a pretty successful way to avoid drawing negative approval is to slightly complicate the language or couch the idea. The goldfish-minds that generate negative votes cannot eval. Directness induces reflexive folly.

I believe it is a sensible bill. it limits its impact to companies that have access to 50,000,000 users or more so it should only curtail giants.
I personally don't believe this will make a dent to the current situation; Apple and Google have so many other strategies to maintain their monopoly effectively on the app store market. But at least I hope this bill will give users some choice and control.
Not sure if this is in the scope of the discussion, but there are many countries in the world where capital gains are taxed at the same rate as salary. The US is a bit of an outlier there, assuming a relatively small annual withdrawal.

That's kinda how it was with feature phones (before smartphones).
It's delusional to believe you can form political beliefs without emotion coloring the decision in any way. In fact, a rational, logical being would be well aware of how emotions guide our behavior at a subconscious level, and that we can never be totally free from emotion-based decision-making.

That doesn't mean we've slaves to our emotions, or must make irrational decisions based on our whims.

But it is a foolish thing to say you are 100% free of emotions in your views, especially when that incorrect view is wielded as a cudgel against opposing viewpoints (which we apparently aren't even "capable of explaining").
That's certainly possible, but I think you're far too optimistic about political feasibility, because it's largely a new concept.

Right now, if I have money, I am free to use it on wasteful products as I please. I can buy a massive truck, 5 times too large for my needs, just because I can.

People are used to this liberty. You may get some public support when something is banned that a huge majority agrees on, but things will quickly turn sour when it actually starts to hurt. When people are simply banned from buying that 75" TV. It's all cool until it's not.

You can imagine the political opportunity of being the party that does allow everything.

Pricing by CO2 output, as the other commenter suggested, likely is simpler.
Is your platform limited to support for certain programming languages only, or can a user create tools that support new programming languages?
I generally like using Qt apps, be it Linux, Windows or macOS. Development with Qt is also quite nice, with very well documented APIs. The only issue is that sometimes there is something really weird going on with fonts (on Linux at least). E.g. in Quassel sometimes text looks as if it went through a cheese grater. And even though I have all the necessary fonts, I don't see some Unicode characters properly (emojis mostly). In Gtk apps they are displayed perfectly. I've been told it has something to do with Qt limiting the number of fonts that it goes through, although I'm not really sure.

As for Electron, this is such a poor runtime. Chromium's C++ (not V8) garbage collector is so unsophisticated that it sometimes blocks for several seconds on lower-end devices. At $dayjob, I got reports about UI unresponsiveness[1] and after looking at the logs, sure enough, 2.5 pause times several times, and mostly revolving around 15ms, 50ms, 70ms, 110ms etc. - wtf. That's just bad press for garbage collectors. Add to that, that each release consumes more memory than the one before. After that you look at all the different garbage collectors for JVM and wonder who even makes the decision to go for Chromium and not JVM, not to mention the quality of languages that target those two platforms.

If you aren't a landlord then why would you think the comment was referring to you?
Some type of money has an expiry date. Not sure how it works in other countries but here (France) we have "restaurant coupons". You get these issued from your employer. You pay half their value and then you can use them to pay for food, at the grocery store, restaurant, fast food, etc. They are physical coupons so even though there is your name on it you can treat them as parallel money: you can trade them, give them away, etc.

They have an expiration date, they only last until the beginning of the following year. So usually if you have many of them left and the expiration is near (you can only use two at a time and they are less than 10€ each) there is a lot of trading or donations between family members to make sure they don't go to waste.
Cars can cost a lot but a lot of it is avoidable - especially if you are just replacing public transport. I estimate that a cheap used car has a total cost of ownership of ~$3200/year or ~$266/month.

Looking at places with public transport, a good average might be ~$130/month between the regular cost and a few special costs like going to the airport, etc.

Saving $136/month is pretty good. On the other hand, public transport costs about 50% of owning a vehicle and has a lot of limitations including only covering a single city & one person.

If not having a car means you have to buy groceries at more expensive/closer stores then the savings are not as much. If you spend more time each day on public transportation then the savings might not be worth it. If you do recreational activities that require a car then rentals/ride-shares will quickly cost more than you save.

Even in places where public transportation is used extensively it seems to be driven by factors unrelated to cost:
1. Parking is limited or very expensive
2. Traffic congestion is very high

The high cost of vehical ownership seems to be driven by consumer preferences. It's a trope that many low-income areas of the US are filled with expensive trucks. People have the option to buy luxury & new vehicles but public transport doesn't have that option.

Essentially, comparing public transport to the typical vehicle in the US isn't fair since the vehicle is more functional - wether the average American needs that extra utility is a different question.
Too easy to cheat. For example, I know how to make an elliptic curve that includes a hidden integer point. If that curve is then used for encryption, I would have a “back door” which could open everything that has been encrypted with that curve.
