Ah, I've got you. Sorry, I probably read poorly or something.

Aggregating the differences, part of it is that the stakes are so much lower in a foreign occupation and that withdrawal to save any of several sorts of costs involved is an option that won't result in the toppling of the occupying state's government or loss of any of the occupying state's core territory or sovereignty, and the other part (also mentioned in my post) is that it's very common for a successful insurgency or rebellion [edit: against foreign occupiers, I mean, in this case] to have foreign aid, which often exceeds the benefit of private arms to such a degree that it's not clear a few folks having AKs mattered at all, so even in such cases–which are already quite different from a domestic conflict—it's usually not clear-cut that private arms made much difference.

It'd help for the analysis if a state with a modern maneuver-focus equipped-and-trained army had faced a realistic domestic threat from rebels bearing private small arms... like, ever. There've been revolutions in such states (Russia, mainly—I'm actually struggling to think of another, since even the ones with maneuver-focus equipment usually hadn't managed the training for it, so fight very differently), but they've not really been the result of civil wars or armed insurrections. Such militaries have lost abroad, but not domestically, and usually against an enemy with one or more foreign state backers—and not by actual, outright defeat on the battlefield, but by convincing the occupier (the political leadership, not the military—they're usually not routes due to loss of morale) to cut their losses and go home. I strongly suspect that the circumstances that would render private arms enough to be any meaningful part of successful resistance against such a state in a civil war or insurrection, would also mean they weren't necessary for that success in the first place—that is, the circumstances would include such overwhelming and enthusiastic support from the populace, and/or enough support from the military, that a bunch of civilian-owned rifles wouldn't much matter for the outcome. There may be some narrow, unlikely set of circumstances in which they're really be the deciding factor, but at that point the cost/risk of keeping them around would have to be incredibly low to justify doing so specifically on the grounds that they're very important for resisting tyranny (there are other justifications for firearms ownership, of course).
It seems counterintuitive at first, but the logic is sound. More infections = more mutations. More time = more mutations. By having a significant proportion of unvaccinated people keeping the pandemic going, juxtaposed with a large, maybe even majority of people vaccinated, it confers an evolutionary advantage to any mutation that crosses from unvaccinated to vaccinated. A rapid increase in vaccination is needed to stamp out the infection before it can mutate. A slow burn is a worst case scenario, as it just keeps the door open for the shit to keep escaping.
> But I think that's completely fair given that security and privacy is Telegram's supposed selling point, whereas WhatsApp never positioned itself as anything more than a way to send messages to each other.

Why don't you look at discussions here and see why people use Telegram?

Many, maybe most of us don't think of it as specially secure.

If you ask why people use it they'll tell you it is fast, stable, almost bug free, well designed and everyone else in their group uses it.

I've yet to see anyone using cryptographic security as a selling point.

Telegrams biggest claim to fame security wise is their censorship resistance and that they get away saying they've never give authorities one bit of user data, year after year. If they had a secret deal with anyone that should soon become obvious.

Edit:

> and FWIW that does reduce my trust in WhatsApp (who I've never been the biggest fan of in any case).

I'm consistent here: I liked them better back then when they were a scrappy startup trying to do good in a world of ads and tracking.

Technical issues can be fixed, as they have done.

The incentives formed by being bought for $17bn (or 19 or whatever?) by Facebook, they cannot easily be fixed.

Yes, messages are now E2E-encrypted but we now have thousands of people working trying to exploit metadata etc instead of 50 guys trying to avoid that.
It's only a legal issue because it's allowed to be.

The concept of "licensing territory" for IP is a 19th century relic. Licensing rights for streamed content could easily be made personal instead of national.

Given the amount of expense and effort required to police specific IPs, it would be likely cheaper to handle this with a fine-grained approach than to keep refining the current mess with ever-more-complex content limiting epicycles.

Here's a link to swag, if anyone hasn't heard of it before: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag

It does seem like an interesting and useful project, though there are also other more popular alternatives like Caddy: https://caddyserver.com/ (even though their V2 not being backwards compatible was a tad annoying)

Oh, and some people also have pretty good luck with software like Traefik: https://traefik.io/traefik/

Apart from that, just wanted to say that WireGuard is absolutely lovely! Pretty simple to set up, works well and uses way less resources than something like OpenVPN.
Why would you switch perspective when describing assets vs consumer goods price rises?

When considering the price of assets, a generalized rise in prices has the same relative effect as inflation in consumer goods; the decline in the purchasing power of money relative to other assets.

The fact that some people benefit from assets inflation because they owned outsized amounts of assets compared to the rest of the population, is orthogonal to that base mechanism. Someone with a huge stock of oil would also benefit from an increase in oil prices following consumer goods inflation.

Beware using convoluted gymnastics to hide simple truths. "Inflation" is first and foremost an English word. Human languages are abstract and powerful, there's more value in generalizing words to understand other realities, than restricting their use to a single "dictionary of economics" definition pointing to a single metric with predefined inputs.
Thanks for stating a well-reasoned comment on this issue. I think far more people are in this camp than are willing to admit on social media. The voices of hyperbole have drowned out the conversation rendering all nuance meaningless.
This is exactly right. It's not just that the firms can choose among all the world's remote devs, the reverse is also true.

I've been turned down when offering remote jobs to devs who found something more attractive, it happens and the market is a two way negotiation.
This is mistaken. Companies need good employees, and particularly skilled developers.

If you're a skilled developer, I urge you to exercise your negotiation power. You have much more than you think.

The problem is, most people aren't willing to walk from job offers. Walk. There are more.
A discussion about how TikTok can go bad, and what we can do about it would be valuable. And for that discussion, we'd need to understand what makes TikTok so good that it's taken the #1 spot.

Saying "TikTok bad, don't use it" is the opposite of having a discussion.
Ditto - I've been 100% remote/WFH for 20 years now...

No, because it's not. You're saying that word "eugenicist" -- it does not mean what you think it means.
Not an advocate, but you just run the script to clean the data (as ordinary events).

> It scans your photos, for known CSAM images

No, it scans photos for arbitray (fancy) hashes, and Apple chooses to limit it to CSAM images. Nothing about the tech prevents it from being expanded to other kinds of images. And from what I understand, nothing prevents it from being expanded to other filetypes either, does it?

The only thing that ties this tech to CSAM images is Apples promise (and claim) to keep the scope limited.
What a brilliant comment, great insight
If only there was some project that was a go webserver with a client that was like some sort of python/javascript hybrid…
The arguments in this comment section have been rehashed so many times on HN now it is becoming hilarious. Who would have thought that office vs remote is the emacs vs vim of the 2020s.
You're able to manufacture justifications for your decisions (often even the ones you made maliciously or on a whim). AI can't, and that's a problem when you need to talk to auditors, prosecutors, customers, regulatory bodies, etc. All this talk of AI ethics is to help paper over the fact that we're entrusting vital decisions to a black box.

And that's not all. Society is constantly contending with the ineffability of your own black box and has created many tools to regulate its outputs (it's a staggeringly wide gamut--from phonetic alphabet to code reviews to civil liability to patriotism). Most don't apply to AI, so it's easier to focus on inputs.

We increasingly try input regulation with humans as well. Blind hiring, for example, or unconscious bias training.
I think they wanted people to know exactly who they are. Not only for the separatists themselves. But of course, the country gets a free card to deny involvement.
This is a problem other countries don't have to that extent because labor unions have far greater leverage compared to the US . In Germany we have huge and powerful labor unions in the metal industry for example.

I have been working on a version with two GNSS receivers L1/L2 and L1/L5. The SA53 receives two PPS inputs and that allows you to detect Spoofing and Jamming.
Again, I like to emphasize, this is not a done work. We shared whatever we had and we would love to have the community to contribute and help making it better. I love to have as many applications as possible for this Time Card.
For example, I am looking for someone willing to port/write a Windows driver for the time card.
With regards to the VHDL code; we are working with NetTimeLogic on a version without the need of any of theirs proprietary IPs. Meanwhile, we provided you with whatever we have and we look forward to working with you.

Apple is using this as a proxy for scanning their iCloud infrastructure. If you are using their cloud service, it does provide a benefit to the owner of those machines.

> I don't know the solution to adequately compensate developers for their work but I hope the subscription mania goes away.

There are ways, but nobody seems to bother to provide usage-based model. Similar to how cloud providers figured multiple usage plans. I have a feeling that many apps live off people paying but using service really low, so there is no incentive. What's stopping them to offer a different price for 1h - 5h monthly access? They could upgrade to a flat fee automatically if you start using their app every day.
Yeah - I've stopped in the middle of the interview process when I found out the 'remote' position required 25% (or more travel).

Now I just pick up the phone "not interested unless it's 100% WFH"...Doesn't seem to have slowed down the recruiting calls.
Rust Game-Dev while Parenting and Contracting (my 3rd year)
Didn't read the article - no access, just some thoughts: the downward pressure on wages will probably become a norm for WFH. Google has already set a precedent. However, unless it takes another unexpected turn, WFH is win-win-win: companies can save on office space and a bit on reduced salaries too; employees will have a healthier life and the freedom to live in cheaper locations; and finally WFH is good for the environment!

Potentially yet another "win" for the companies: some of the unnecessary engineering manager jobs will be eliminated. My impression is that in fully remote companies the opportunities to prove your importance when there's little to none, are limited. The occasional video call situation as opposed to always-in-the-office one means everyone becomes more efficient in communicating things.
They are small and fast enough that you wouldn’t notice them.

A 10cm diameter iron meteorite has a terminal velocity of about 600kph / 400mph / 160m/s. And remember it’s not glowing or red hot or followed by a plume of smoke, so you just won’t see it.

So if “someone saw it” it’s either something else, or they are making it up.
Two paths : encrypt customer data in payloads with a customer-specific key that you can throw away at will ; OR ; allow some events to rewrite their history / stream.
Static languages are good for beginners. Like training wheels for programmers.
Many vaccines don't have 100% efficacy, and diminished protection over time. The point is that if everyone has good enough protection from a vaccine, the outbreaks die down (r_0 < 1).

For example,

One dose of MMR vaccine is 93% effective against measles, 78% effective against mumps, and 97% effective against rubella.

Two doses of MMR vaccine are 97% effective against measles and 88% effective against mumps. [1]

My Business Card Runs Linux (2019)
> but I still don't find it confusing for a strict language (and besides legions of developers have had a chance to familiarize themselves with this via async-await). The rules in either case are the same. If you move around `->`s behavior might change. Likewise if you move around `!`s behavior might change.

The <-s are always in the same place on the line and always ordered top-to-bottom, whereas it's not at all clear what ordering applies to the !s - it's generally "evaluation order", but the whole point of using monads is to get away from relying on evaluation order! When it gets confusing is when you're doing something that has a nontrivial evaluation order in the expressions, e.g.

MyMonad {
something sortBy { (x, y) => someComparison(x, y, !z) }
}

Even left-to-right evaluation of function arguments isn't always obvious - for some functions it would be more natural to evaluate in a different order, and not all strict languages evaluate left-to-right (I believe in C/C++ the order is undefined).

I agree that it's not so different from async/await or ApplicativeDo, but I find both those things confusing, and I hate dealing with arrow FX precisely because I can't follow what the code is doing except by thinking through what all the evaluation is doing operationally.
Mostly the same; but the only thing I miss in Bitwarden compared to Lastpass is, if the vault is logged out, it doesn't prompt me to log in (to the vault) when it finds a login prompt for a site I have saved in the vault.
I would argue two points here:

- Switching the world to nuclear power would require global cooperation, hundreds of billions of dollars, and 20+ years of construction

- Things are already quite bad

Now, I don't want to start messing with the earth's albedo all willy nilly. But if our climate models suggest that this could be a viable stopgap that can be deployed for less than we spend on corn subsidies, then we should do it.

This sort of argument is just bizarre to me.

If you think Apple is on a slippery slope and will just expand this feature without any consideration then why have an issue now ?

Apple already has your unencrypted photos. They could scan it server-side. Or they scan it on your device and simply not tell you. And they can push OS updates without you knowing to enable all of this.

Apple could even push CSAM to your phone and frame you if they wanted to. They control ALL of the keys to your device whilst you are using iCloud and allowing software updates.
It is optional to use iCloud Photos. There's no indication you get arrested if they find something, it isn't reported directly to FBI. Apple will just disable your account, and there is an appeals process to restore it if they made a mistake.

There's more nuance here beyond the clickbait headlines.
Yes, that is a fair point. One thing I'd note on that subject is that the current market of blockchain-based NFTs does not usually come with copyright restrictions. You are allowed to use a copy of an NFTized jpg, but of course the person possessing the NFT can always cryptographically prove that they own the 'official' version, which confers prestige. The analog world corollary would be owning the original Mona Lisa, while others still have the freedom to create copies. The latter does not diminish the value of the former.

So in some sense, right now with most NFTs, you get the best of both worlds: a way to compensate creators of artwork, by giving them a scarce resource representing their creation that will command market value, and the freedom to use the art others release as you want.

"Enjoying life for the ephemeral experience it is" is something we do out of hard necessity.

But we don't do it. We sit here worrying about dying and trying to ensure we will live forever instead of enjoying the time we do have alive. Read experiences of people who suddenly find out they are going to die relatively soon- the richness of their life takes on a whole new dimension.

These are problems to solve independently of death.

And why do you have 100% faith they will be solved? Is that how the world generally tends to work? Or will things just get worse and people will blame it on the government instead of the thing that changed and allowed things to be bad?

This happens all the time. Technology comes in, makes peoples lives shit, "It's not a problem with the technology it's how we use it". What does that matter if we're not capable of using it better? If the world is going to be shit if people can live forever, then people living forever is shit.

It is arguable that life and freedom are meaningless if...

If you look at how people behave, it is actually the opposite- things don't have value unless they are scarce, limited. We value our life and youth because it runs out.

I’m surprised to see positive experiences with event sourcing in the comments, I had the impression that in older posts about event sourcing there were horror stories, and I think even Martin Fowler said in most cases he’d seen it didn’t work. Or maybe he was referring specifically to CQRS, but isn’t that used most of the time along event sourcing?

That's because people here have grown up and see the world for what it is, how products like these play out, how incentives around them are structured. Most of the cool things like this are bait.

Seriously. It takes extreme naivety to take a SaaS business at face value today. Patterns of exploitation are well-established and easy to spot. Once you see this a couple of times, including in offerings you got so excited about - or worse, you get burned by them personally - it's hard to be anything but bitchy about tech.

The comments may be negative, but the bigger problem is that they're also not wrong.

You are right. This sentence was not supposed to be a literal description of what is the best way to build the card. It was more referring to the fact the building this card is not that hard since the main goal for this project was to liberate the time appliances from being a closed source box.
The solution to the problem of a company operating outside the (spirit) of the law is usually adjusting the law (clarifying, removing), or cracking down on the violation. That is progress regardless. Just accepting the status quo is pretty strange though. But new labor regulations etc have already been added in some of the markets.
How much employers may save is not really relevant. What's relevant is what employees want and are willing to accept.

If people prefer remote work and that also saves them time and money then they will probably be willing to accept a lower salary than they will for the same job on-site.

IMHO that's the logic of companies that are suggesting pay cuts for employees that won't come back to the office.
