I see, that makes more sense, thanks for the clarification.

I’d still rather not have to debug arbitrary mutations to the env or file system in a production container though.

It seems to me that shelling into a prod container/VM is discouraged not because you might cause it to fail, but because you might produce undefined behavior while claiming it is healthy (more like Byzantine faults).

For example if you unset a single env var by mistake, then 1/N of your requests will potentially fail. Debugging this kind of issue is a nightmare.

Not to mention that developers can often run arbitrary SQL from a prod shell when the app is backed by a DB.

Your solution to a lawful request is covert backchanneling to the police of a foreign nation?
You've mixed together two-way (discussion) and one-way (advice) mental health communication. Your point only applies to discussion, and the tiktok example only involves advice.

Concretely, what privacy concern do you see in watching a video with mental health tips? Do you think this privacy concern similarly extends to reading a Wikipedia article on (eg) CBT techniques?

Or am I misunderstanding, and "Mental health tiktok" involves users describing their mental health issues in videos that they post, and a back-and-forth with those who are claiming to "treat" them?
Science is what scientists do, like politics is what politicians do? Either science can be critiqued as a social construct or it is an unimpeachable Platonic aspiration. I can see both perspectives. But, communicating that science itself is a somewhat messy social phenomena might be better as a long-term message for the public.
There's no design of browser add-on that could check for that. They update it every so often as it is, and they could serve the modified version to everybody, but it only does the modified behaviour for some people.

I would explain it as next gen antivirus. Looks closer at hashes and heuristics of all data in and out to a server. It seems crazy that everything that is read or written is hashed and compared to a db, but it works.

I recall an episode of COPS where the Sheriff (?) of Multnomah County Oregon was grinning into the camera, declaring how good he's going to look driving around a pickup truck that they'd just confiscated.

Top article on the UK BBC right now: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58460511

>Afghanistan: Minister apologises over 'inaccurate' veteran suicide claim

As a non-UK person, am curious about the use of the word "veteran" in the headline.
What would be different about "Afghanistan: Minister apologises over 'inaccurate' person suicide claim" or "Afghanistan: Minister apologises over 'inaccurate' citizen suicide claim" ?

I understand that there is some veneration of veterans, but don't all citizens have the same rights? Since you're in London, perhaps you can shed some light on this for me.

What's that worth when your entire judicial apparatus is corrupt (doesn't respect separation of executive/judicial branches) and all it takes is asking nicely to get a request granted?

> my imagination fails to suggest what could serve as such oversight

Protonmail did not have a chance to defend itself before the judge, to face the alleged lies of the prosecution. You may consider that's still a form of judicial oversight, i don't.

> no possibility to challenge the order in court

Yes there is. Don't collaborate. Send a notification that you're waiting for a judge hearing. Wait for news. Either case is closed and you're good, or you get summoned to court and you can argue you have no criminal intent but strongly doubted the legality of the request.

Providing firmware-updates and spare-parts (especially batteries) should be a requirement for all-purpose-computers i.e. laptops and desktops. And also for smartphones with user replaceable operating-system. For devices which are only appliances (smartphones with boot-lock and worse) this also extends to the operating-system itself.

This makes devices more expensive? The prices will be higher but the value you get also. I'm talking about companies which uses adhesive strips and unusual screws with tiny buckles (Apple - iPhones) or the ones which glue the display onto the baseboard (Google - Pixel). Or companies which used to provided user-replaceable batteries with notches, which now uses screws inside the device (okay!), but now also a firmware to ensure that the user won't get a replacement battery some years later (Lenovo - ThinkPad). Otherwise Lenovos ThinkPads are good example, step-by-step manuals, explosion diagrams, well maintained replacement-part numbers...and yes, more expensive.

Instant gratification is just one pitfall of not understanding Agile before you do it. The article has a lot of useful suggestions at the end.

A thing that gets lost in a lot of discussions about Agile, even the ones like this one that invoke the intent of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development, is that there are material advantages to Agile over the systems analysis style of project planning and management. It isn't just mindfulness over following a recipe.

Agile was needed because replanning with complete functional and implementation specs, and complete task estimates and coder assignments needed for a resource-leveled critical path analysis is way too onerous. That lead to not replanning as tasks, knowledge, and goals change, which is worse.

There are tools, like having an MVP milestone, doing decision tree analysis at key milestones, etc. that are compatible with Agile, and there are techniques, especially metrics, that are voodoo or just adornments on Agile-as-management-fad. Knowing why Agile was needed vs what was used before is key to understanding what is compatible, and what is an impediment to agility.

During my last job search, I applied to about 15 jobs, heard back from 5, interviewed with 3, took the job from 1.

One of the other employers who
interviewed me had not contacted me for a couple months. Then, out of the blue, they contacted me again asking if I'd like to continue the interview process.

Unsurprisingly, I turned them down. I was already a few weeks into my new job. The long delay gave me a bad impression too.
The Forbes article does a better job of explaining the case:

> Shortly afterward, a person going by the name “Lucifallen21” got in touch to inquire about the ad, according to the search warrant. The IRS, without saying how, determined that Lucifallen21 was actually Evansville, Indiana, resident Chase Hite. By July, he’d agreed to buy from Mr. Coins, wrapping up $15,040 in cash in clothes, putting the money in a box and posting it to the agent in exchange for approximately 1.59 bitcoin, according to the government’s account.

> ...

> Further messages over Wickr indicated Hite was involved in dark web drug sales, claiming to sell “pills and opioids,” as well as cocaine and marijuana, the IRS claimed. ...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2021/09/01/irs-u...

Trading Bitcoin for cash is no crime. It appears the IRS claims it had evidence linking Hite to offers to sell drugs. So the Bitcoin sting was incidental to the case.

If you put it in the bank, as others suggest, you're opting into financial surveillance as half of KYC/AML is focused around turning the financial services industry into a surveillance for law enforcement.

The real problem is that law enforcement has a fairly good chance of getting a big chunk of money, and your odds of litigating successfully without those funds are low.

That's the fundamental problem. Fix legalized theft by law enforcement. The rest will sort itself out.

> The US was killing more central asians than China every year of the last 20 years straight. Hopefully no longer true going forward.

That's absolutely a fallacious comparison.

1. We don't have accurate data from China on the number imprisoned and killed by them, so no one can make absolutely comparisons like you did.

2. The Chinese do this to people living peacefully inside their borders. If the US started rounding up and killing ethnic minorities WW2 concentration camp style then you could make this comparison. The US was engaged in active conflict with a group that itself was detrimental to human (specifically, women's) rights and that engaged us first.

I dont agree with a lot of what happened in the middle east, but you can't in good fairh stretch that as a comparison to fit your own narrative.
So you suggest them to drop their business (which took years to build), abandon their families and run because their local court (or police) issued an order, one of several hundreds they have to process each year? Also - in which country could they seek political asylum exactly? Surely not the Commonwealth, not EU, not Russia (PM is banned there because they did not comply with Russian FSB orders), not China, not Saudi Arabia... Not so many places left, it seems.

what? who claims this? it is evidently not feasible.

- "Fallacy 2 - 100% Lemon or 100% Lime or Bust"

(only one kind of renewable can be successful) ... again, who would ever claim that?

- "Fallacy 4 - Nothing Less Than Perfection, All the Time"

...

and so on, one strawman after the other...

> Both Julia and Python has a concept of public and private code, neither have a pub keyword.

No. Python certainly does not have a concept of private code[0]. The Python community has a suggestion of things being implementation details.

Surely you can see that absolutely would not be good enough for a language which strives for static correctness? And even more so as the soundness of `unsafe` blocks often relies on the invariants of the type it's used in?

[0] well that's not entirely true, I guess there's native code.
To me, being forced to compel with an order you had no chance to hear justification for, and/or had not chance to defend yourself against, is not "judicial oversight". It's an order signed by a judge alright, that doesn't make it "rule of law"-compliant.

> The claim that Swiss judges want to stay cozy with law enforcement requires a lot more support.

Unfortunately, there's very little serious studies of the corruption of the judicial system in the global north. There's massive scandals, but never wide anti-corruption schemes. You may be interested to read Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish, which is a very serious examination of why "Justice is an independent power" is a gross misrepresentation at best.
I'm sure Google and MS have a lot more data to give in an information request than ProtonMail. According to what ProtonMail has posted, they only turned over an IP address. Google and MS would probably have your account name, contents of your emails, login session times, all recorded IP addresses you've logged in from, all recorded devices you've logged in from, etc. I'm not sure about Apple though.
I've been working on Dud[1] to help solve this problem. Coincidentally I released v0.2.0 today.

The core idea is to version large files/directories in a content-addressed store, and to track the content addresses (i.e. checksums) in source control (e.g. Git) for historical traceability.

For a practical example of how Dud works, check out the Getting Started page[2].

Agile has become overused and cliched.

My sister works as a project manager at one of the big UK banks. They are anything but agile--projects take months and have to be planned out to the smallest detail for legal and compliance reasons. Makes sense, as the smallest decision affects millions of people, and there are regulations to satisfy.

She complains she now has to do daily standups with other project managers. But she has no idea what they do, they have no idea what she does, and it's a matter of just talking "Yeah, doing the same thing I was doing yesterday".

But since there are like 20 managers in just her group, this takes an hour everyday.

And she's like--we're not in software, why are they forcing this scrum thing on us?

I tried to tell her about the Priesthood the Agile, the Saviours of Our Codes, bless them, the Agile Manifesto Priests, but decided it would be too much history, so I just nodded and said "meh".

There seem to be two groups of ProtonMail users. Those offended by warrantless dragnet surveillance. And those opposed to legal demands for information.

ProtonMail is effective at thwarting the first. It sees headers and IP addresses, so the risk is theoretically there. But their technology, policies and the strength of Swiss privacy law [1] make them a less-ideal coöperator for the NSA than e.g. Google or Comcast.

With respect to the second, I feel like ProtonMail went out of their way to communicate their limits. They will comply with Swiss warrants. These are signed off on by a Swiss court and made pursuant to Swiss law. (They still don’t get to hand over your emails, which is an improvement over most other providers.)

Disclaimer: I used to use ProtonMail. I switched to Microsoft 365 because I need integrated calendaring and delegation.

[1] Third-partly doctrine doesn’t exist for e-mails in Switzerland. If the FBI asks ProtonMail for information, ProtonMail would be breaking Swiss law if they handed it over without a Swiss court signing a warrant.

> Beginning life as a weapon, the V-2 was pressed into peaceful service after the war at the United States' White Sands Missile Range as well as the Soviet Union's Kapustin Yar.

This is a rather generous explanation. They began as weapons and their use was explored by the militaries of the victorious powers. Those research efforts were primarily to gain the knowledge of how to continue development of rocket weapons.

In the case of the US: NACA worked on air flight only; civilian space research only began with the formation of NASA in 1958.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Most people with responsibilities simply don't have the time to do this. And as you get more senior, you realize how little knowing algorithms has with day to day work. They are filtering for young engineers that don't know any better and have the time to leetcode. These engineers are less likely to question management and they have already shown their time is cheap.
the difference here being that protonmail gave the data to the swiss government. which in term passed it to the French for its police investigation.
