I don't know if you're keeping track of this thread, but here's a top level comment I left https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28306150

I'm pretty heavy into this stuff, been using exclusively unlocked and rooted AOSP for over a decade, 100% FOSS degoogled (minus hardware drivers of course) for 6 or so, and contributed anonymously to the community pretty significantly over the years. At this point I think the days of FOSS Android are numbered, I still use it for now, but I don't see our community having the leeway we currently are barely holding onto in 10 years. If Libre mobile computing has a future it is in the currently in development Linux mobile ecosystem.
>If they lack the capability to do so then they don't need to worry about it.

"They don't need to worry about it" may be enough for you, but it is not a satisfactory moral answer for a lot of people. It shouldn't be tough to understand that some people don't want to actively enable illegal activity.

>If you have a system in place that intercepts all files before they're encrypted and uploaded to the cloud, then E2EE doesn't serve its purpose of ensuring privacy of people's data. It completely defeats the point.

Which is the reason why Apple proposed running this on the device so that those files don't leave the device if they aren't flagged.
If you have Windows, you have a tool that can do this already installed: PowerShell. (If you don't have Windows, PowerShell is free and open source [MIT license]. One of the first things I install on a new Linux or macOS box lately.)

The first example in PowerShell:

> Import-Csv example.csv | Sort-Object Color, Shape

To filter, use `Where-Object`:

> Import-Csv example.csv | Where-Object { $_.Color -eq 'purple' } | Sort-Object Color, Shape

Or using aliases:

> ipcsv example.csv | ? { $_.Color -eq 'purple' } | sort Color, Shape

JSON uses the same syntax -- just replace `Import-Csv` with `Get-Content` and `ConvertFrom-Json`:

> Get-Content example.json | ConvertFrom-Json | Select-Object Color -Unique

> purple

> red

> yellow

There's also `Group-Object` for aggregation.
Shame. Not to condone these people, but since getting along with everyone was Joe Rogan's thing, I think they should've embraced it. But Joe was most likely not glad to preserve that part of his career either, otherwise I assume he would protest.

This is sort of what we did back in the day when the Gametracker [1] banner wasn't flashy enough for our game servers.

Good luck!

As a 58 year-old who has pretty much given up on tech, thanks for doing this. I'd apply, but I have no experience with postgress internals and have never even used Postgress.
I had no idea John Carmack had gone on the podcast.
I use OpenBSD because it's a very pragmatic choice for servers. Nearly everything is "off" by default and I can add only the specific things I need, reducing the attack surface. Pledge/unveil makes sandboxing my applications very simple. The pf firewall is much easier to use with confidence than iptables. The manpages are great and the system is small relative to most Linux distros, so you can understand how everything works and fits together -- great for infra. It's well-designed and consistent throughout because the kernel, OS, and all core tools are designed by the same people. As of yet, no conntrack-style edge cases requiring days digging through kernel code. :)

This of course involves many trade-offs (losing access to common "modern" tech like containers, slower performance) but for my company the trade-offs were justified.
> reject the unlikely possibility

"Unlikely possibility" shows either blatant facetiousness or blatant ignorance. Who couldn't predict the explosion of collision-generating projects?
Wiping and unacknowledging something's past existence. Think unpersons in 1984.
Make sure to circle back for the Tom ONeil episode. He spent 20 years writing a book about Charles Manskm, and unearthed several earth shattering revelations about the case.1. cia was most likely involved in allowing Charles Manson who was on probation throughout the entire period get away with multiple probation violations after spending half his life in prison. As a criminal defense attorney with the evidence he laid oitz it's obviois Manson had some sort of guardian angel Also lead prosecutor led key witnesses to commit perjury. The motive for the Tate murder the prosecutor put on was to send a message to the record producer who used to own the house. Key witnesses told him that the record producer was seem several times after the murders happened, and at trial the testimony was different.
When he moved to Spotify I suppose I'll get his podcasts from torrents, but then I end up finding far more interesting podcasts to replace him. After all if any of his episodes are interesting I can just listen them two years later.

Congratulations on the launch. I'll keep an eye on this.

We used to build custom, turn-key machine learning products for enterprise. Recently, after playing with things like Voilà, Streamlit, and Superset, we made it possible for our data scientists and ML people to show prototypes and applications right from the platform, without worrying about creating a VM, setting up the environment, scp stuff, create an application, configure a server, set up authentication, send a link to the client, etc.

I can envision doing something similar with Evidence. Given it's markdown, could we imagine having a Jupyter notebook containing markdown cells that somehow use Evidence? Could this be a JupyterLab extension?

I'm asking this because we have live collaboration / collaborative editing notebook on the platform, with access to external data sources such as S3 as if they were filesystems, so several people could collaborate on the same notebook, see cursors and selections of others, etc. Why not do that on Evidence work as well:

- I start a notebook. Add a Markdown cell. Some magic, I can do whatever it is I can do to generate reports with Markdown.

- Share the notebook with other users. We get together and work on that visualization/report.

Tangent: Something that kind of sucks is that some clients send us a database dump as a file, plus all other miscellaneous data. We have to create a MySQL database from that dump. It's not a big deal, but we don't like it.
I'll assume you are explaining the concept, but at this point the sum of all the elements sums up to a feature that should be cancelled.

The arguments have been stated before, the principal one being that scanning the users device goes against the wish of users and what Apple until now has stood for.

I think Apple fails to see the seriousness of this.
He was always into the conspiracy stuff, and it was usually pretty light and interesting. The tone and guests definitely changed around the time he moved to Austin (no knock on Austin, I love that place). Politics and stuff I guess.

I lost interest too.
8m not sure how his podcasts were distributed previously, but I would have thought a more multiplatform approach would work better long term. A lot of people don't have Spotify, I'm one of those, for the same price as Spotify I can get YouTube premium for me and the extended family, kill all ads, allow downloads and access to a decent music streaming catalog. Last time I checked the prices were not to dissimilar.
> No need to quit your day job to do this gig

This might be true for the employer, but for the employee, I think there could be serious issues. For example, my present employer would be very unhappy if I agreed to this and I have no idea how it would play out. I'm almost positive it is in violation of my present employment contract.

Did the candidate that went for it actually have full time employment? If so, did they get approval first?
I’m not aware of any mobile carrier that gives a s$*% about my privacy or my security. This is the only thing I’m aware of that tried to improve your privacy/security from the carriers: https://puri.sm/products/librem-awesim/
I don't think that's accurate. Do you have some links or anything to back that up? Like actual transcripts, not some media interpretation.

"People say, do you think it's safe to get vaccinated? I've said, yeah, I think for the most part it's safe to get vaccinated. I do. I do," Rogan said on the podcast. "But if you're like 21 years old, and you say to me, should I get vaccinated? I'll go no. Are you healthy? Are you a healthy person?"

"If you're a healthy person, and you're exercising all the time, and you're young, and you're eating well," Rogan continued, "like, I don't think you need to worry about this."

If this is what you are referring to, is that really anti-vax?
He's also written books on how much of your diet should be fat, and similar topics. I've never been able to tell if he's worth taking seriously. My instincts say no.

John Carmack and James Hetfield are a couple of very interesting guests he had.
I don't see why apps like that should give you an exact distance instead of some rough estimate.

"X is a few miles away", "X is less than a,mile away", "X is several yards away" (which is, say, within 30-50 yards) — and more precision is not needed. If users want contact, they need to explicitly coordinate.

This approach, of course, should not be centered on the exact user location, but use some rough and slightly irregular grid, so that the best one could do is to determine the cell of that grid (again, like 50 yards wide), without any idea where in that cell the target user is.

This, and query throttling so that scanning more often than once in 5 minutes isn't possible.
HN was that before it got popular. Most things in life are like that… great until the masses come. So where are all the cool kids these days?

Part of me is worried that there aren’t such places, in part because culture wars have made the online world so toxic.

Is git necessarily acyclic? Or is it just that nobody has bothered to contrive a git repo with cycles?

It seems possible in principle: via a kind of quining, a git commit can be created whose parent hash is its own.

It involves a bit of a tough search.
Neither of those examples are bizarre. The latter is correct.

The three original videos he produced on the topic are a better example than the cartoonified version:

>The police should come to you with a warrant.

How does that change the warrant's effectiveness? Should you be obligated to unlock your phone for authorities? Otherwise the warrant still does nothing because the device's encryption can't be broken without forcing a person to potentially self-incriminate themselves. This is fundamentally the same problem that encryption breaks how warrants used to behave.
I wonder if Rogan would 'not lose influence' had he changed nothing.

Feels like these kind of personalities, while they can have long careers, growth / reach isn't infinite or sustainable.
Which is an absolutely fascinating case-study! It's easy to just write it off as "kids mimicking content creator for attention" but it goes so much deeper than this because it's a learned subconscious reaction to stress. It's like tapping your feet or biting your nails but interesting because it's verbal. It's kinda like if you say "like" or "um" to fill space when talking you never really have to think about it but you can stop if you practice.
This seems like first order thinking. What about the repercussions of the infection? Mutations? And what is the tradeoff with the vaccine? Is the vaccine "higher risk" with all of the other second order questions taken into account?
Some episodes are no longer available, as if Spotify wants everyone to forget that they even exist.
Episodes featuring Milo Yiannopoulos, Alex Jones etc. In other words, guests that offend the progressive attitudes of Silicon Valley
Good point. Late arriving data is such a challenging problem. Perhaps if you have the load date, you could condition on that. We will think about the 'snapshot the outputs' approach as well.
This is a legitimate concern, but you can't be sure because the system doesn't allow you to determine if the attack was successful, at least in principle (I think there is a timing attack possibility).
Same here. Unfortunately Adobe has no competition for pro use, especially if you use many of their apps (I use regularly over 7). And this force me to use Windows. It's a trap!

> I don't know why you think I don't understand that ageism isn't a problem.

Because you're making statements that seem to indicate you don't understand how it works.

> But if they're in the market for a job, and they have experience with Postgres internals, why would they not apply to this if it otherwise seemed promising?

Because that's how discrimination works. When you feel your effort might be wasted, sometimes you are much more considerate of where you spend that effort. Sometimes you don't spend it at all.

> They have to apply to somewhere and they presumably have many years of experience applying to jobs and such.

No, they don't. The alternative may very well be people assuming there's no place for them in the market, so they stay at their current job even if unhappy or underpaid. Signalling to people that might be under the impression they have no place at your company that they actually might is worthwhile in many people's eyes.

This is a discrimination issue. Would you have the same perception if we were discussing women, or minorities, or people with disabilities? If you're a man, does "We hire women. (And men too.)" also make you think that you have no place at that company, or make you think they are trying to encourage diversity?
similar thing happens in Austin, TX area. It took me several months to find a general contractor to just give me an estimate for the repairs (and he charged quite a lot for just that)
Half of these tips have nothing to do with Ubuntu. Changing your SSD will do wonders for your Windows installation as well...
I ran it exactly the same way I ran the several Mac laptops that preceded it: unplugged in cafes, unplugged in parks, and closed while plugged into the external monitor on my desk. It’s rare for it to spend more than a couple days plugged in, even during the pandemic. The exact same usage pattern that produced a slow, multi-year decline in battery capacity in every other machine resulted in the 2016 Pro suddenly starting to shut down completely while it thought 20-60% of the battery capacity remained. SMC/PRAM resets did nothing, “recalibration” did nothing.

2016 Pros eat batteries, and while Apple acknowledged this enough to pay for one battery replacement, they’ve still hit me for an annoyingly large amount of repair cost, plus downtime, plus the annoyance of work lost due to unexpected shutdowns before I say “oh god it’s doing this again” and start getting insanely aggressive about saving.
Honestly, if we want a higher baseline of privacy (or environmental protection, or worker rights, etc.) we need laws not public pressure.
> I believe that they should scan user data in some capacity, because this is about data that causes harm to children.

The legal system already provides a means for invading people's privacy given certain criteria, whether by scanning their phones, physically searching their residences and offices, or whatever. The criterion is "probable cause" and the search is launched by a judge signing a warrant that the probable cause exists. That is how the Framers wrote it into the US Constitution (see Amendment 4), because they had dealt with too many bogus searches done by the Colonial governments and wanted to put a stop to that. Things have not really changed since then.

"Think of the children!!!" is a traditional thought-stopper, but really, if there is substantive reason to search someone's phone, just convince a judge to sign a warrant and everything will be fine. Searching people's stuff when they are not under any concrete suspicion is part of why we had a revolution in this country in the first place. I.e., why does Apple hate America, as the memes like to put it?
> There’s a reason AM radio has more “extreme” content than FM radio. A wider audience means more people to appease; have to cater to the common denominator.

What? AM stations tend to have larger ranges (FM is limited by line-of-sight). There tends to be more talk on AM because the audio quality is lower (and more susceptible to interference); I would assume that talk radio (where opinions are actually being discussed) would naturally have more "extreme" content than music, where the opinions are diluted by the presence of other content.
As another currently-happy Helios4 owner, any recommendations?
Right now I'm looking at the instructions for a pediatric otoscope, showing how to use it on an infant, who probably didn't consent to this use of his photo.

There are literally billions of photos of infants and young children used in instruction manuals, text books, advertising, and as stock photos.

Should all of these be made illegal? Should manufacturers and advertisers be sued for using these photos without the subjects' consent?
At the risk of laboring the point, I'm talking about the piece of code embedded in the Signal application, that tries to talk to the Play Services. Not the Play Services themselves. This piece of code is definitely running whenever Signal is launched, "even if you don't have the Play Services on your phone". It probably does nothing significant when the Play Services are not present but still, it's there and (a small) part of it runs.

Now you have several options:

- you trust Google and trust this code not to do anything when the Play Services are not running

- you don't trust Google on this, but you don't care neither

- you don't trust Google and care, but you are willing to take the risk

- you don't trust Google and care, and are worried, or are not willing to run any proprietary code out of principle: you need to adapt Signal's code or dish the app entirely

How did you increase your typing speed so much? I’m sitting at around 70ish wpm and would like to increase it
If I need to search, I get around this by just scrolling to the bottom of the article and uncollapsing each section from the bottom to the top. This ends up being very fast for most articles, because uncollapsing the lowest section won't move any of the previous sections, so you can tap through them quickly.
I've got the same issue, I'm a relatively slow typer (90WPM) but every now and then the Mac just becomes so slow and typing everywhere is lagged. It usually happens when I'm working on the frontend of our app which has a javascript 3D engine in it, and the editor is visual studio code, so I was just assuming it was some weird Blink engine problem.

I sense that your arguments are in concordance with TFA, broadly speaking. Also, I suspect you read it rather uncharitably for reasons having to do with tone or stated thesis. Either that, or my reading comprehension is failing me. Maybe I want it to be more convincing that it really is, as i already laid bare my sentiments towards accelerationist woo.

I'm not particularly a "fan", but I do enjoy listening to some JRE episodes when he has interesting guests like Andrew Huberman. I don't care about losing access to old podcasts any more than I care about Netflix pulling certain movies. That's just the reality of all streaming services. Content gets removed all the time for all sorts of reasons. If you want to maintain access to something then you'll have to make a local copy on hardware you own.
You're assuming that the bias is overt and conscious. It doesn't have to be, any more than sexism, racism, or classism do.

Would you be interested in using https://redbean.dev to enhance your product? It's really nice for building web apps that handle sensitive data since you can put redbean with your CSVs or SQLite database on something like an Iron Key and anyone you share it with will be able to use your app and view the reports in a purely offline manner on any o/s.

If your app is built on Node it's got an unwieldy amount of dependencies which frequently have security issues and something like Postgres is usually only viable as an online service you're self-hosting, and those things get hacked. So redbean is really a no-brainer if you want to protect data without making life difficult for the people who are authorized to look at it. We're also looking at integrating QuickJS soon, as an alternative to Lua, so there should be a painless migration path for Node folks.
People will forget this ever happened in a couple weeks. By then, they'll be angry about something new.

The old models won't use new platforms because it's so much easier to just stay on OnlyFans. They already chose the easiest career path with the most short-term gain, I don't see how they're suddenly going to start thinking long-term. I don't think these people think long-term at all, if they did they probably wouldn't do this.

Soon enough, new models will be joining without any knowledge that this ever happened. It'll get memory-holed in weeks.

Very wet dough was the right thing for that time and place.

As noted below, cooking is much more like music than engineering. There isn't one right way, yet there is no upper limit on the quality of the result. A business depends on repeatable results, but that's business. True mastery includes creativity and adaptability to circumstances.

Once I had a pot of lentils that was almost done. I tasted it and it needed something... I spotted a bowl of fresh black cherries, and thought "that's it!". I quartered and added some, and it was exactly the right thing, right then. I later found a Martha Steward lentils recipe that called for cherries.
