Science is the history of people seeing something basic and getting told by others that it's not true ... E.g. the earth is round. Yet, You can never prove a hypothesis just present more and more evidence.

My point: it does not hurt me to wear a mask and it might help people, so I will do it. It seems also that scientists who know more about this than me, support this idea. They might be wrong, yet even if they are the negative consequences are so low (I wore a mask for a couple of days ... ) that for me it's worth it.

When I hear Rand Paul, I hear the smuggness of "I know masks don't work" and sorry but we don't know that ... Saying this right now, is showing me that he does not understand science (we don't know, they might help) and that he does not have any compassion.

Fauci seems to have the better track record (seeing how he dealt with AIDS).
My point of view is that I live in the future now.

When I was a kid in the 90's when I think about life back then it sucked, compared to nowadays.

I think we could list a lot more than what is in the article.
I am neither. A similar exchange with sneak has happened previously.

It is a frustrating exchange.

The words that have been used attempt to tie two controversial topics together PRISM and FISA. The logic then seems to be that because companies can now report on FISA orders, this means they also willingly participated in PRISM.

What has been said seems to ignore that the FISA reporting by companies shows the number of identities that data has been provided for. PRISM on the other hand looks like a program to collect as much data as possible, regardless of identity.

At this point it is going to just be agree to disagree.

Setting up this authentication is a huge pain. First, the Github site lies to you. It tells me that, having previously generated a token, that token has never been used. It's been in use for months on one machine. Their web site and their repository system are not talking to each other.

Then they want you to generate a new token, in the "new format". Then they refuse to generate a token valid for more than a year. With a dark pattern where you push the "generate" button, but nothing happens.

Then comes dealing with Git itself. If you have a credential store file, there's no obvious way to log out of Git so that you get prompted for the new "authentication token". So I had to find out where it stores that data and delete the file. Then I could log back in with the new "authentication token". The documentation is written assuming you are using Git for the first time, not, as is more likely, updating an existing set of repositories.

(Why do I suspect that, at some point in the future, we will see "Log in with your Microsoft account?")
You are correct. They did make their own font. Which seemed like a very strange expense to me. Even though I use Dropbox heavily, I'll almost never see their font. Dropbox is used mostly through the OS's file manager.
And yet I can teach TortoiseHg to CEOs and secretaries in less than an hour.

But, hey, git is sooooo superior. 


GitHub has done almost as much damage to version control as PowerPoint has done damage to presentations.
Yeah, well, that's even more stupid. Because if one is convinced that they are as bad as child porn -- a perhaps somewhat exaggerated view IMO, but not at all outlandish -- that's the only sensible stance to take. So, you turned an arguably reasonable stance into whatever libertarians want to rant against today. That, OTOH, is definitely not reasonable.
This dropped on hackernews literally the day after I discovered Grabovoy numbers, supposed "cheat codes" to the universe used by Law of Attraction types to enhance their putative manifestation powers.

I was just correcting you, I am completely fine with the current reality and wasnt advocating for anything
I don't trust large corporations to decide what is fringe and what is not, because not only is it a slippery slope, it has been abused consistently especially over the last few years.

Look no further than Facebook's handling of COVID "misinformation". From the start of the pandemic, they have enshrined the current statements of the CDC as "information" and everything else as "misinformation". For example, when the supposed "scientific consensus" was that COVID-19 100% came from nature, anyone who suggested it could have been manmade was called a conspiracy theorist and banned from the platform. Now, a year later, those scientists are backtracking, and some are even admitting that they took the natural-origin stance simply to not be associated with Trump, who was taking the other side. That's not science.

It was never a crazy idea. Anyone who could think for themselves knew that. But Facebook declared themselves the arbiter of truth, and decided that anything that wasn't said by the CDC needed to be censored.

When reasonable, logical ideas about important global health challenges are considered "fringe" simply because the authorities have declared them to be fringe, we have a serious problem.

GDPR is a regional law, there's no international treaties that compel any non-European entity to follow it. I don't know why most Europeans have a hard time understanding this.

Similar law exists in the US in California, with the difference being that it's possible for a federal court out there to claim jurisdiction if I, as a non-Californian but American resident citizen, do business with Californian customers.
No, this will never be caught.

This only catches ownership of illegal photos.
Probably a case of a monoculture of designers and/or developers on Retina Displays and Apple's renderer getting the benefit of extra pixels per inch of the usual font sizes?

This seems really common with tech companies that the fonts they like for "crisp" and "light" look great on Retina Displays and no one thinks to check any other display or OS font renderer. I feel it's also why the designers at so many companies right now often accidentally favor (display) fonts with hints and weight tuned for headlines, high DPI printing, and/or large uses (banners) for places where body fonts with thicker weights and better hints for smaller font sizes on less pixel dense displays would be much better for everyone involved.

(Though some of that belief that it is such a widespread problem comes from my bias from ugly personal experience of getting designs handed to me from the only macOS users in an entire enterprise and having to point out their font choices were entirely inappropriate on anyone else's displays in the company, and being the only one to point it out and easily ignored because I wasn't a designer and what did I know.)

"The hypothesis that I have is that Apple wishes to distance itself from checking users' data. They've been fighting with the FBI and the federal government for years, they've been struggling with not reporting CSAM content to the NCMEC, they don't want to be involved in any of this anymore."

However there is close to zero evidence to support this idea. I was just reading something the other day that directly contradicted this; it suggested the relationship has been excellent save for a single, well-publicised dispute over unlocking an iPhone. In other words, the publicly aired dispute was an anomaly, not representative of the underlying relationship.

Even more, unless the pontificator works for Apple or the government, she is not a good position to summarise the relationship. Plainly put, it is not public information.

What does such baseless speculation achieve. Is it like spreading a meme. I dont get it.

"The worst part is: how do I put my money where my mouth is? Am I going back to using Linux on the desktop (2022 will be the year of Linux on the desktop, remember), debugging wifi drivers and tirelessly trying to make resume-from-suspend work? Am I getting a Pixel and putting GrapheneOS on it like a total nerd? FUCK."

Is having a computer with closed source wifi drivers and proper ACPI support more important than having a computer with an open OS that does not include an intentional backdoor.

Maybe the problem is not how to put your money where your mouth is, its how to put your mouth where your money is. What does GrapheneOS cost. Maybe this is not about money.

Options like GrapheneOS, even the mere idea of GrapheneOS, i.e., that there can be alternatives to BigTech's offerings, get buried underneath Apple marketing. Much of that marketing Apple gets for free. It comes from people who do not work for Apple.

Bloggers and others who discuss computers can help change that. They can also help Apple sail through any criticism (and they do).

I wonder how much this is an American phenomenon. I've been reading about it on here quite a bit, haven't really heard any news of it in Australia.

Can you elaborate how your reply relates to Apple's case and my comment?
I think the Sun and SGI would still be viable as a daily driver. Or a PC but it depends how old.

I understand what you mean regarding the emulators not being so impressive. However don't forget that an emulator isn't the real thing. If I fire up my Atari 800XL it feels very different than an emulator. Actually loading something I wrote from tape feels different too. Only the display is hard to emulate: I no longer own CRT TVs.

I had an Amiga 500 afterwards and I can imagine what you mean about the biggest jump. The Amiga had pre-emptive multitasking in the time of Windows 3. The games and graphics were amazing. But for me the biggest jump was to the HP-UX boxes at college. They really felt like 'big' computers. I still own one also for old time's sake. But when I think of this 'wow this is a real computer' feeling, that's what I'm thinking of. Working with a room full of X terminals on one single server, all that stuff.

But I don't really use anything retro in daily life. I do have a VT520 terminal (a real CRT one) and I use it sometimes. I love the soft orange glow and the fact I can make it so dim that it's not eyeblinding in a completely dark room at night. LCDs absolutely cannot do that anymore. They're tuned for max brightness, not minimum. I use it sometimes when I really need to focus on something to write.

But the number of console apps that still actually obey termcap or terminfo (the database of terminal commands for each different terminal type) is ridiculously low now. Most of them just blast out xterm without checking the terminal type. Which makes for really poor terminal UI as some xterm is VT220 compatible but an awful lot is not, which end up being crypting escape sequences on screen. Also, 80x25 is not ideal in this day and age, and while the VT520 can do 132x50, it is not very well defined. There's a reason nobody really used it back then.

But if I really had to pick one it'd be the HP-UX box :) I loved VUE's little "computer" at the bottom. Though it really missed a taskbar (it used icons on the desktop for open programs which is really not handy as they don't stay on top). But I could work with it and it's a capable linux system. Around 2000 I had a whole gnu userspace on it but these days it's too hard to compile modern stuff.

PS: I always wanted an ST and my dad could get one from work, but he picked the PC instead. In the end it was the wise choice, no doubt. I upgraded the thing from 8088 to well into the 486 age until I had to get a new case to fit ATX motherboards. But I still regret it a bit.
I really don't understand how you're arguing as if you don't see the bigger picture. Is this is a subtle troll?

They are now scanning on the device. Regardless of how limited it is in its current capabilities, those capabilities are only prevented from being expanded by Apple's current policies. The policies enacted by the next incoming exec who isn't beholden to the promises of the previous can easily erode whatever 'guarantees' we've been given when they're being pressured for KPIs or impact or government requests or promotion season or whatever. This has happened time and again. It's been documented.

I really am at a loss how you can even attempt to be fair to Apple. This is a black and white issue. They need to keep scanning for crimes off our devices.

So to your answer your question, yes it is preferable to have them be able to scan all of the unencrypted photos on iCloud. We can encrypt things beforehand if need be. It is lunacy to have crime detecting software on the device in any fashion because it opens up the possibility for them to do more. The people in positions to ask for these things always want more information, more control. Always.

The above reads like conspiracy theory but over the past couple of decades it has been proven correct. It's honestly infuriating to see people defend what's going on in any way shape or form.
Mainly that exception handling doesn't have a single solution, even in GCC. I'm agreeing with you that this article only highlights one version of exception handling for one compiler.

There's also potential operating system involvement that's not really covered in this article.

The doublespeak of wokeness glossary:

Sexist - Discrimination against anyone except a cis straight man. That means requiring half of company board members to be women is not sexist because only men are disempowered. Feminism is also not sexist even if it blindly advances all causes of and for women at any cost because the ends justify the means.

Racist - Discrimination against anyone not White, or not Asian as applied to academics. SCOTUS condones Harvard's selection process that advances skin-color over merit.

The worst demographic to be right now is a cis straight older white man. The suicide rates, diseases, conditions, and addictions of despair for this demographic are off the charts.
It sounds like you didn't read what I posted, and why the NCMEC can't just add arbitrary hashes.
I ruptured out of suspension of disbelief the moment I read "The missing persons did not return. In the large, they were no longer missed"... Really?

I dont get the whole "Trump supporters who don’t want to take the vaccine." Thing. Trump is and always was very vocal pro vaccine. So for whatever reason someone may not want the vaccine its surely has nothing to do with Trump. Some kind of statistical correlation does not imply causation. And vaccine hesitancy is far grater in many other countries where there is no Trump anyway.

The new HTML layout and the obnoxious mobile website are worse than what killed Digg, IMO.

The difference is that when Digg made their mistakes, Reddit was there for the taking.

Nowadays, there's no alternative to Reddit. All the new sites appear to be focused on hateful communities banned from Reddit, and that will never attract the mainstream.
Exactly. An unknown mechanism adds hashes to a NGO subject to exactly what conditions?

I've been flip flopping between Rust and Go and landed on primarily Rust due to not liking how imports are done by URL in Go. Probably works for Google, but it doesn't make sense for most use cases where you want to handle major version changes.

Why is rail pushed so hard in place of roads?

Roads - lots of things other than trains can use them. Vehicles of all sizes can be scaled up and down to meet demand. Way less money. Way easier to respond to unexpected line breakages.

Or even better, throw all that money that would be going to rail to eliminate short haul to electric airplane research and subsidising - far more useful to everyone in the EU rather than just those who happen to live near and want to travel between 2 major cities(which I presume is a requisite for the high speediness)
>Well that's not an option on offer and even that has real tradeoffs - it would result in less CSAM getting detected. Maybe you think that's the acceptable tradeoff, but unless government legislatures also think so it doesn't really matter.

It should and can be an option. Who cares what they offer us. Do it yourself.
We're using jqwik's stateful testing to achieve this, https://jqwik.net/docs/current/user-guide.html#stateful-test...

It's essentially as you described.
In their attempt to make this extra private by scanning 'on device', I think they've managed to make it feel worse.

If they scan my iCloud photos in iCloud, well lots of companies scan stuff when you upload it. It's on their servers, they're responsible for it. They don't want to be hosting CSAM.

It feels much worse them turning your own, trusty iPhone against you.

I know that isn't how you should look at it, but that's still how it feels.

My ex wife worked at a large international airport.
They converted their entire fleet of cars, trucks,
into hydrogen.

(Yes, it is inaccurate there were still some normal fossile fuel vehicle around).

From her perspective it was great.
No emissions at the airport.

No waiting to charge the truck, filling it up was comparable to putting gas in the tank.

The vehicle could run 24/7 as their old fossile fuel counterparts.

I understand that the production of hydrogen may not be good at the moment, but I hope it changes.

I would prefer to have a hydrogen car to a Li-ion battery,
if and only if it became a majority platform.

Every winter, tons of people want to go up to the mountains.
Given it is in the middle of winter the weather can change and roads closed.

Sometimes the wait can be several hours before the snow plows arrive and arrange slow column driving.

It is easy for the snowplows or other rescue vehicle to provide diesel and petrol and in sone version of the future hydrogen.

It is not easy to charge a lot of electrical cars.
I an sure you can make trucks with huge batteries, but it will still
take considerable time to charge them all, in if it is done in parallell.
One truck charging 30 cars in 30 minutes or however long they will need to reach a level where they can run the heat at max and drive behind the plow.

Until they figure all this out, I feel safest with a plug-in hybrid.
You have all the watches in the world, but we have time.
