> the world has become overly sensitive to certain subjects.

I'm not sure that the world has become sensitive. Rather, opinions that people didn't feel safe to express about nonsense they experienced in their earlier life are now coming out. I recall a story about a church that held an "Aunt Jemima" event in 1991 and were surprised that so many black families chose not to show up - but none of those folks protested or said what bothered them. (https://theundefeated.com/features/it-was-past-time-for-aunt...)

Broad, sweeping statements about groups of people have been used to discriminate all over the place. They've been used to justify not teaching certain kinds of people, or to justify myths that certain groups of people "should" always be a certain way because of the majority trendline.

The people that built these myths sometimes did so (or do so today) with pseudoscience. So, for some who have heard this kind of nonsense their whole lives (maybe it was used to discriminate against a parent), actually valid + careful scientific research can sound like the same old nonsense.

AD: It's worth pointing out that Harvard Business School just published a report[1] on what they deem as 'Hidden Workers' - one of the major factors in these workers remaining hidden is that their CV or digital profiles can't get past the AI filtering engines almost all ATS system use...

Looks like they are trying to make the transition smooth and didn't introduce too many breaking changes, even though it is a major version change.

I wonder why they didn't take the opportunity to make the APIs much safer to use? For example "modern" C11 has some constructs that could be used to make code safer and easier to work with. We don't have to target C89 in 2021.

>"we'll never log your IPs" is something that no company can hold.

Four words: The Intercept, Secure Drop. A one-way mail (content submission) system that runs exclusively on Tor, and thus can't be supboenated for users' IP address.

While I get your premise due to concerns of law, I think it is entirely feasible - and hinges on execution, marketing ability. We already have IP-hiding technology, whether Tor or Freenet or other such. The concern is "are we good enough yet to make it a sustainable business?"

For sake of example: if a hypothetical competitor to ProtonMail was to offer sign-up and email access only over Tor protocol, it would effectively be safe from police's demands to start logging IPs - thanks to technical measures. The actual difficulty is in the business side: getting enough paying customers to install & enable relevant browser or browser plugin.

Granted, the police could try to force the hypothetical competitor to install malicious JavaScript that would try to gather & leak users' IP address or other identifying information through other means, but that's solvable in the longer run just as well.
> The expectation that Proton would be able to disobey the legal requests of their local authorities with impunity is unrealistic.

Untrue.

There are many way to resist authority without being seen as blatantly disobeying the law.

In this particular case, they could have gone with the standard: "can't technically do it, we don't have the infrastructure". Or: "the guys who manages the logs just quit, we can't recover the information". Or: "we don't have the budget to implement that, it'd bankrupt us" ... etc ... make as many lame excuses as the day is long.

Drag things into court and just bog the effing big brother machine down in technicalities long enough until they simply give up or the French activist has had ample time to skedaddle.

Presumably the charge is not "resisting arrest", but "assault of an officer of the law". Several officers missed a couple of days work, one officer had to stop working for two weeks.

I haven't more on the subject, but I can certainly imagine that they started an investigation only in the days afterwards, when doctors had established reports and cooler heads prevailed.

Look at it from the perspective of the state / society. What's the alternative? Arrest everyone you find in the house, every time when you think you may press charges, and hold them indefinitely until you sort things out?

The article stated that he refused to give ID / fingerprints at the time (which is his right, as he was not charged). Clearly he no longer has a house; you just kicked him out. What do you do? How do you find him?

So they asked for an international warrant for his IP (not the contents) so that they could find him, which was approved by a disinterested third party. The warrant was executed, and now he will answer in a court of law, where he can argue his innocence while the onus is on the state to prove the contrary.

Contrast that with the alternative approach "in the heat of things" (arresting everyone, retrebutive escalating violence) and I think it's pretty amazing that our society works this way, and how much effort is spent to safeguard both justice and individual liberties. Hell, in the US, 25% of homicide-by-police is happen as the result of traffic stops that turned sour.

Let us suppose for a moment that you could put a ship out in the sea, using solar panels and wind power, and satellites, you could provide a service. It might not be a service that’s always available, or all that fast, but it is technically feasible.
Agree to disagree. If people live close to nature they change a lot. The Bernays idea of man as an atroucious anymal that must be controlled with entertaiment, consumerism and survaillance is in sync with corporate control and exploitation of resources.:)
I assume what they mean is that - they might have to log connections to their service (like with ProtonMail), but they won't have to provide what data that user account has accessed through the service, same as they didn't provide the actual emails of the account in question, but "just" the connecting IP.

I can't imagine running an internet based service and not logging IP addresses. How else do you debug issues or isolate malicious users, etc. Does anyone think it's realistic (or even responsible) to not log basic info?

I don't use PM, but it seems their product is end to end email encryption, not complete web anonymity. Maybe those wanting to add anonymity should access it via tor (if PM allows it).

As a son of a blue collar mechanic, I am all for this; we need more tradespeople in the US, and I suspect he'll be well on his way to financial security at least as early if not earlier than my son (if he takes care of his finances).
God forbid you have your own place like the last three generations before you!

No, just rent and share like a college student your whole life. That makes sense.
I don't think your conclusion is suggested by the statistics in the article. There is a decline in enrollment, but it is heavily focused on men and white men are even slightly behind other ethnicities. This holds true even for very high household incomes where the ROI on a degree is less important than the social prestige of being in a white collar career. If college was a bad deal, you would see women opting out as well.
Mine does the same. It's ~25 years old.
> The Commodore 64 is a fascinating machine. It is the single best selling computer model in human history. The fact that the C64 still holds that title in 2021 — close to three decades after being discontinued — is nothing short of amazing.

I've been playing with Unikernels for Go server deployment - so far so good. I'm not sure if this counts as "no OS" - as I understand it (and I'm not sure I do) the Unikernel core provides the calls that the Go runtime is expecting.

But the central idea that the server system can only run one program makes a lot of sense to me. Obviously it won't work for a desktop, but then the whole idea that desktops and servers run the same OS doesn't make much sense to me.

I stopped caring about this issue and immigration in US in general when I saw how media, celebrities and politicians alike weaponized this issue during last administrations mishandling and then stopped caring about it when the regime changed even though the exact set of problems still exist today as the article shows.

My day to day life is pretty boring, but occasionally I'll imagine what I would need to do if I ever had to get out a secret message out where it was important that it couldn't be traced back to me.

It always ends up being something like, "Well, I could buy a bunch of raspberry PIs with cash and then go to a coffee shop that I never go to and upload the message to a gmail account that I'll only ever use once. Throw the PI away afterwards in a random trash can in town and make sure to wear gloves every time I touch it. Finally use some sort of encryption scheme or something so I can identify myself for repeated correspondences because each time will be with a different one shot email account."

It turns out that this isn't some fanciful paranoia, but is in fact the bare minimum of what I should be doing if something like that ever came up.

It's hard to engage with vague claims about social and media and blogging being "toxic". But to try to make it concrete: The old media, without anonymity, with the ability to impose reputational costs on actors, lied the US into the Iraq War. They used this ability to impose reputational costs to quash dissent. What's the worst disaster that social media and blogging have caused?
> There is nothing I can learn from accessing a VM in production that I can't learn from my monitoring system.

Other than how to fix gaps and other problems with your monitoring? As you get experience, you’ll learn this is done like a garden — you can heavily reduce your need for interactive sessions but it never goes to zero.

I think you’re making the classic mistake of treating a guideline as more of a religious mandate. Yes, it’s good to have servers be easily replaced but that desire does not magically rewrite all existing software or retrain every IT worker.

Similarly, automation is great but you need to develop and maintain it - which almost always involves interactive work. The taint process you mentioned is a popular way to balance those needs long-term.

Finally, if you are thinking of “server” as only a production-hardened network service you’re missing out on a lot of other things enterprises use cloud services for, such as developer workstations or general virtual desktops. Many places heavily expanded that over the last year because you avoid the security concerns about having your data on easily lost/stolen laptops and can avoid turning your VPN into a massive bottleneck for the entire company.
> In one example, it's a cloud storage company, they say on their marketing page and their about page that they are based in Switzerland and under Swiss law, but if you look at the legal pages the company you sign up with are actually based in Bulgaria.

Just out of curiosity, in this kind of situation what laws actually apply? Wouldn't that be the Bulgarian laws?
