The upload of an encrypted file could allow the victim to verify the hackers are indeed able to decrypt files?
No, that would be worse actually. Imagine a circumstance where you need to use a library to fetch some network data that you can't do in a browser. Now you have to import the whole data stream via text serialize/deseralize into the browsers sandbox.

Wasm is also quite slower and bulkier because you'd have to compile your entire runtime into wasm, and then have it in the browser.
Except it is literally misinformation. "Most of the masks you get over the counter" ARE at least somewhat effective.
Worst case Apple can feed those apps a random location, supplemented with a random film roll and address book.
Good. He's a clown.

Arabs Have Failed Their Language
mass civil disobedience against COVID restrictions is not only awesome, it a very explicit and central civic value of the American political mythology. I can't emphasize enough how bizarre and soviet-esque that this is even on the table as a contentious issue these days.
>> His statement was a dog whistle to his base.

It means he is being intellectually dishonest. He has a long history of such behavior, and worse, he should know better.
Very cool, please add C++! Would love to start making some courses
I fully agree. Been a standalone user for years and a coworker asked me recently how I got the standalone license because he didn’t think it existed anymore.

Even with me knowing it exists, I wasn’t able to find it on their site to send him. (Hint: you have to upgrade within the app, but only if you downloaded from their website, and only if no 1p account or trial is present)

Add other dark patterns like the extension being 1PX only by default and doesn't work with standalone. You have to cram through their website to find the legacy extension and even that isn’t straight forward. They tried very hard to hide all info of a standalone existing.

(Personal annoyance: locking new features like the redesigned autofill overlay to the subscription-only version even though the Safari extension fully supports it for standalone, but not the others.)
The government cannot coerce you to message or "counter-message" one way or the other.
I only use it because someone else lets me use their account for free. There's almost never anything worth watching on it though.
Of course you also assumed "draconian punishments" equates to "lack of due process". As if punishing murderers is inherently wrong and goes against your very finely tuned civil liberties instincts.
"120 degrees" is completely meaningless. I pointed out that the title is shit. The first sentence explaining the shit title doesn't make the title less shit, right?
Not all cryptocoins are scams, but it's an area full of scammers. But don't worry, most of the cryptoscam are in a higher level, not at the encryption level.

Anyway, some people suspect that the Dual_EC_DRBG has something like what you described. As far as I know, it has not been proved, it's a suspicion. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_EC_DRBG

> In many other standards, constants that are meant to be arbitrary are chosen by the nothing up my sleeve number principle, where they are derived from pi or similar mathematical constants in a way that leaves little room for adjustment. However, Dual_EC_DRBG did not specify how the default P and Q constants were chosen, possibly because they were constructed by NSA to be backdoored.
The document is actually very interesting, it goes into great detail of exactly how they tracked him. There is so much evidence in it, really a good read. They ended up tracking him with a GPS tracker to prove he set the fire they charged him with.

i tell them to please assume i wasn't trying to offend them and just quickly tell me why what i did was wrong. if they can't live with that, then i would rape them to death and probably also rape their parents, wife, husband, girlfriend, employer, children, etc
I don't think it's well established that people value Bitcoin for the proof of work.

Most of the money in it probably doesn't even understand it at a superficial level.
That’s not “misinformation.” It’s a perfectly legitimate argument against ineffective government mandates. In a cost-benefit balancing framework, it points out that the benefits will be much less than expected.
it's not a waste of time only if you are interested to know how to do these things.
This is unquestionably misinformation, and Rand Paul needs to have a permanent muzzle installed until covid is extinct.

Masks DO WORK. Yes, N95s work better than cloth masks, usually, but cloth masks work very well for reducing the likelihood that
a covid-positive person will transmit the virus. This isn't controversial. Rand Paul needs to stop spreading lies on purpose, and if he won't, I fully support YouTube telling him that he can use someone else's platform to do so.

This is NOT an example of "tech companies dictating truth". And it's not scary, either. What's scary is the results of letting charlatans like "Rand" Paul speak on this in public.
Starlink makes this kind of detection a real mess. They're using CGNAT so many people share a single IP address. Also that IP address changes frequently, about once a day? And the addresses don't geolocate very well, either.

Starlink customers definitely have a problem with Hulu already; their system does not work at all well with people whose IP addresses change frequently. I wonder if Netflix is about to start being a problem too.

More details: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/l5y9jl/hulu_live_...
Virus proof and ineffective are not the same thing.
Yes, I have used electron apps, often. I don't think it's possible to generalize or identify causality as you have cleaved the problem here.
> If an employee of a government contractor shows up here, says "Actually AnimalMuppet is a Russian disinformation operator, don't believe anything he says", is that a violation of my constitutional rights?

If that contractor then says to HN - you must ban them, or you must put a user flair saying they are a spy. Then yes, it is a violation of the first amendment.
> Ban inheritance

This is far too simplistic. My children are elementary school age. If I get killed in a car accident, it would be a second tragedy if I couldn't at least help provide for them until they reach adulthood from my savings.

Instead, I think we should just have very progressive inheritance taxes. Taking care of offspring is one of the fundamental drivers of humanity, so we should all have some ability to do that. But large-scale multi-generational wealth consolidation is a driver of inequality and is bad for society.

A progressive tax rate would balance those.
Sure -- but only in order to use it all up for mining Bitcoin. It hasn't exactly led to a glut of GPUs, has it?

Here, a single computer + transmitter would be a tiny fraction of the cost or a space probe that you're sending up anyway.

I have an HP 4u from 2010 with 80 threads and I think a quarter TB of memory, 6 SAS, and 2 1TB ssd, currently running Ubuntu 16 and Wok, for VMs. It took a lot of effort to get this working and it's still a huge pain - I have no UPS for it since it uses 220VAC, and UPS cost more than the server cost me, for example.

I can't use docker in general because my internet is too crappy. That was annoying in 2012 when I first used it, but it's even worse now. I've always worked with VMs, since 2001 or earlier - virtualbox, wok, AWS, wok, and now proxmox.

It helps to know what your use case is, I don't run a ton of VMs, just one or two at a time that can use almost all of the resources of the server, and I generally do infrastructure and computing work in general.

I presume none of this counts as a homelab, though, since I don't program in rust.
I mean the real reason is clearly to inspire people to work for / with them on their projects, the last section is hardly subtle on this front.

Funny how one's enemies are always the lazy ignorant ones.
They have, as far as I can tell. Last month I tried to set up a new 1PW installation and exhaustively searched through the app menus - no sign of standalone vault support anywhere.

It's possible that it was hidden because I had previously signed in to my work's 1PW account, maybe, or that it's hidden too well for me to find. I don't know, and would be happy to learn either way.
I've seen "FAGMAN" in a couple places. It really reflects the general sentiment towards those companies as well.
Isn't it amazing that medical professionals can work 12 hour shifts in N95s without having difficulty breathing and don't feel like they're going to pass out?
What's really funny is nobody knows if cloth masks work, but lots of people are commenting here as if this is the debate.

The best I can steelman YouTube's position would be: "Yes we need free speech in order to debate all the things and get ever closer to truth. YouTube does not want to host this debate. Please find an alternate venue, and if the consensus changes, we will dutifully update our policies to reflect that."
I was thinking the same thing. Blizzard explicitly allows this kind of thing but most games do not.

Even with DBM - there used to be an addon that told you exactly where to stand to avoid different bosses attacks. That got banned pretty quickly because it over trivialized the mechanics.
Yep. Paramount announced Paramount Plus in New Zealand and Australia. Then the failing pay TV monopoly paid up a bunch of money to make the content exclusive to their terrible 720p streaming service. No Paramount Plus for New Zealand!

To add insult to injury, they don't even bother showing the movies and shows that they lock up this way. It's just about exercising monopoly power.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We understand your concern but we are very careful to not develop any feature that would be considered as cheating for the majority of the gaming and game developer.
`bootlooped` -> `bootlicked`

Standards of care matter even for dislikable people, you could argue they matter even more for them.
> He's a physician and an elected member of the United States Senate.

He's non-practicing physician, but a practicing legislator. His job is to legislate, which includes determining the budget and operating model for the CDC.

Why does a legislator feel the need to circumvent his duty regardless of his prior private area of expertise? If he truly has physician expertise that is somehow superior to that of the CDC why isn't he working to convince his legislator colleagues to direct the budget and operating model of the CDC, as opposed to trying to circumvent due process and rile up his base.

I think you know the reason why.
You aren’t, MSFT is much more appropriate than Netflix, a company that releases 2nd rate copies of shows from better networks.
Thanks for your feedback. We understand your concern, but we do not share any information that is not available on your screen. In a sense, we provide an alternative interface so you can learn about the game dynamics to improve faster. All the features that we develop aims to accelerate the learning curve - so we do not share any information about your opponent, their location etc. that is not available to you while you are playing the game.
Tip: Pop-out the extension as a window. Even if you close it, your browser’s Ctrl+Shift+N is going to restore that window with the same secret/state, even if the vault locks.
What 3 Words is a Mess
>I wonder if the problem isn't that he's not from the correct end of the political spectrum.

Well... of course that's the problem. A politician posting an unsupported video about how we need to wear masks even at home and outside to 'pull together and beat this thing' would not have their video pulled, because it's the _approved_ kind of nonsense.
The Netflix logo on a poster is literally a stamp of bad quality. Like 90% of netflix originals are absolute trash.
Another happy user of “pass” here. The program integrates with Emacs, Firefox, Unix, and Git like butter. No need for any clouds or services. ;^)
Agreed! Also a standalone user for years. (have about 400 passwords and security Qs in 5 vaults). Can even live with subscription (its just forking out a few bucks more), can even live with electron - at least a Linux client will be avaialable rightaway, but why no local store, Dropbox sync was working perfectly !
He’s just polluting the airwaves to keep his voters wound up.

A single layer of cloth doesn’t stop it. There’s a reason why those scarfs aren’t allowed in airplanes (well they say that, still see them in use). But it can help reduce the distance it travels.

It’s semantic wank, which is all politicians are good at.
The acroynm is based purely on stock performance during the time it was created. You could make the same argument for Apple but Apple was on the list from day 1.
> He could have, but he didn't. You're not his editor.

You're right, in a separate video [1] he said "We will not wear masks!". He isn't saying "cloth masks suck, I'd be ok if we did better masks" He's saying "cloth masks suck, we should not wear any masks". Directly. No editorializing needed.

> He's also a physician. He might know something about infectious diseases that you don't.

Dr Oz is also a physician. He constantly tells people to buy dumb shit like green coffee to cure cancer.

The fact of the matter is, Paul was an Ophthalmologist. Do you take infectious disease advice from your dentist? The fact that he can say he's a medical doctor is true, but his field is completely unrelated to the field of infectious disease.

The actual experts in the field are telling us to social distance and wear masks. Paul is telling people to rise up, take off their masks, and ignore these plain sense precautions [1].

> I for one want to hear his expertise, even if it disagrees with the conclusions you've already made.

Hear what he has to say, but frankly, he's as big a hack as Dr Oz.

All cryptocurrency is more or less reduced to tokens at best without personal computing. At that point just use whatever UI your OS vendor gives you to talk to the government run central bank because the power structure is the same with fewer middle men.
Out of luck how? Isn’t the goal to be able to install and use Cydia without jailbreaks and without signing it yourself? And if the bill passes in the sort of form that is here, isn’t that exactly what’s going to be possible, so then the goal is achieved?

Do you really think the US government should have the power to force you to "debunk" something? Do they decide what gets debunked and what does not?
GP listed six companies instead of identifying their employer. If they do work at Microsoft, it's cruel of you to out them. If they don't work at Microsoft, it makes sense that they'd want to list more companies rather than fewer.
I think I agree with your description.

I'm currently sitting on three job offers - I originally thought it would be easy to choose, but I find myself absolutely paralyzed right now with an inability to make a decision on any of them because I feel as though I will be expected to know more than I think I know, or to perform at a level beyond what I feel comfortable performing at.
I've had a lot of great feedback from my peers and those in more junior roles, as well upper management, but still do not feel confident.

How do you if you are capable of moving from a familiar set applications and systems to one where you've never worked with any of the applications and only know the system by theory?

Some folks are pushing me to move entirely out of code and into management but my passion is writing code, working in databases, and designing systems but the opportunities I have before me now pay more for management rather than getting my hands dirty in the code.

Can't sleep or eat because of constant anxiety over "what if I can't perform to their expectations and get fired?"

- How do others deal with this?
>Brevity for the sake of expeditiousness or practicality is different than brevity for the sake of deception or ulterior motive.

How are you supposed to tell which is which without reading minds?

This simply moves the argument from "accurate vs concise" to "concise for good reasons vs concise for bad reasons"
I'm in the exact same boat. I've been playing with a domain checker for a restricted set of C for a kernel project, specifically for this reason.

But as of now I'm having to add better support for plugins in clang.
Sure, but there's a difference between web-based and built using web technologies. Whatever other faults electron apps have, they're fairly consistent across operating systems. For a tool (like a chat client) that's very appealing. It's all that other things that seem to be endemic to electron apps (high resource usage, large size) that are the problem. Theoretically if you make a webapp that works fine on Safari Edge and Chrome you could use the OS provided webviews on iOS, MacOS, Android and Windows (and Electron on other platforms I guess) to ship local equivalents that are less problematic at the expense of more engineering work (or maybe just a leaner meaner electron competitor).
The Derby Evening Telegraph may have sold the rights of their archives to an entity (like ProQuest) which has a financial interest in finding and shutting down competition.
Thanks for the explanation. Senpai.gg is still in Beta and we're continuously improving our features.
> He didn't splurge on excessive travel, electronics, cars, etc. lived a modest life.

This, I think, is the biggest hurdle for most people. Everyone wants to be a millionaire, but few are willing to sacrifice the short term pleasures and status of their consumption. See also the infamous "avocado toast" debate, which, from my personal experience with fellow millennials, had a lot of merit as a criticism.
This looks good, as my blinds kinda suck too!
You're leaving out over half of the truth, here. The idea behind universal masking is that EVERYONE is wearing the masks. In other words, the person who might infect you is masked (and cloth masks DO work very well to prevent that person from spewing droplets everywhere), and also, you are wearing a mask too. You are leaving out that first part of the equation, which is the most important part.

It's also the part that "Rand" Paul is undermining.
This is a curious response. I would have used the same reasoning as an argument against Electron (or similar unified development systems): they are not consistent with all of the other native apps that people use.

I don't know if your reasoning is that looking like a web app means it is consistent with those apps, or that the apps look the same across platforms, but neither of those arguments are compelling to me. I chose the platform I am on because I think the interface is a good one that makes me more productive.

And I have never found an Electron app (or web app in general) that is as high quality as good native apps (on any platform). There are just so many compromises, and I am not even considering resource usage here. Everything just feels a little slip-shod.
Here's Zeke Emanuel, who has been floated for FDA commissioner, saying cloth masks don't work: https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1425507067457064965

You can. What you won't get to do is force all your friends to agree with you.

I am not sure how you have somehow turned a situation, where you being unable to force your friends to use something else, is an infringement on you.
So the idea is to reduce inequality in the most environmentally destructive way possible or what?
Do you happen to know the footprint required in a base application of each?
In my lifetime, we never had the essence of journalism as you're describing it. Even before the internet, my hometown had the left-leaning and right-leaning newspaper (and I was lucky enough to live in a town that offered both!).
An unfit mask with anything more than a single centimeter^2 aperture gap is effectively <N40. That means more aerosol particles are let out/in than are blocked. Unfit masks do a pretty terrible job but they do help a little bit.

What doesn't help is censoring people pointing out this nuance. What we need is N95/ffp2 mask mandates for indoors. That would really help mitigate sars-cov-2 spread.

Now, unfit masks do do something. They block the spittle for sure and less than half the aerosols. But if you look at how influenza stopped spreading almost completely the last year and a half you have to conclude that either unfit masks with gaps do help significantly versus respiratory viruses, or, sampling for influenza cases has been borked due to the overloading need to test for sars-cov-2. It's probably the former.
Wait, German companies give tech workers the opportunity to take out a lease on an Audi? That's a new one.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, I agree that it takes time to learn and implement the specific actions in the game - and that is the reason why we developed the gaming coach. Ideally, we want you to learn the game dynamics so you can play better, improve faster and enjoy the game more!
OK I found an Onion link but they haven't released anything yet. And yeah good idea NOT to have anything on my HD.

How is that at all responsive to what I wrote?

I said the $125k number could be fine, if the rationale behind it wasn't ageist. You come back and defend the number.
Some Masks, Worn perfectly, in perfect conditions are effective in reducing viral spread by a few percentage points...

Rand would have been served to say mask POLICIES do not work, because humans are not perfect, do not wear them correctly, need to remove them to perform normal activities, do not sanitize them or change them properly, and about 1000 other things that make mask POLICIES ineffective

and the data absolutly bears this out, as very little has been proven that masking POLICIES have done anything to actually limit spread since most spread is being done by close contact in indoor spaces where people are more likely to remove the mask...

The number of times I have seen people walk OUTDOORS alone with a mask on then enter a indoor space with other people only to remove the mask is pretty high...

Masking policies do not work

Vaccines work...
