Also using AntennaPod from F-Droid here: it gets its data from CDNs. The CDN is in a position to log data from a lot of people, that's why I think they are on the block list.

It depends on which podcasts you listen to which services you need to unblock I think. The 'essential' category is usually a good starting point but you might need more, especially for the search which iirc comes from Apple/iTunes.

You can also just whitelist AntennaPod completely of course, being an open source app from F-Droid that's relatively trustworthy.

Protonmail did not provide the authorities with the users IP address...they did allow the account to monitored which they are required by their laws to allow. It was the users sloppy OPSEC that allowed the authorities to eventually track them down. In the end, I believe, it was linking the user to a past Gmail account that finally did him in. Listen to this podcast episode, the presenter does a fairly good job summarizing the situation.

Why can't you do that with triggers?

By the way subscriptions seems a good idea in theory, in practice polling is often the best solution. There are not a lot of applications where you need the data that real time (I mean with a latency that is less of a couple of seconds), and for that applications you should build something custom.

Subscriptions to work are based on websockets that have its problems, and also requires a constant connection to the server. The application then needs to handle the incoming data properly, another thing that is not entirely obvious.

Another thing is that most of the times you don't have a 1:1 mapping between the database schema and the API (and if you do, you shouldn't, since a change of the internal database representation will require a change of the API and will break clients). You have in practice an application server in between. Well is that application server that can send subscriptions to clients. And it can do that without subscribing to updates on database tables (assuming that the tables are only changed by the application itself, that seems reasonable). The application when updates the data can publish it to whatever subscription system it wants to notify clients.

So now you're asserting that the binaries are backdoored, or built from something other than the published source.

However, IP logs may be kept temporarily to combat abuse and fraud, and your IP address may be retained permanently if you are engaged in activities that breach our terms and conditions (spamming, DDoS attacks against our infrastructure, brute force attacks, etc).

Just how transient do logs need to be to fit this criteria?

Am guessing the 7 years or so we need for some of our specific logs might fit the temporary definition too.....

Seems odd to call that a blunder, surely that's just a matter of convention?
It's grotesque to lump together people with reasoned concerns about lockdowns, forced vaccines and other measures with the most extreme anti-vac conspiracy types who go on about 5G and microchips. This kind of smug disdain for millions of individual considerations is a kind of elitism that not only lacks sympathy for others but also has no business making binding legal decisions for whole populations.

As for this idea of controlling "disinformation pipeline that motivates counterproductive behavior". What I hear is nearly Orwellian terminology there... It's based on very tenuously sustained affirmations about an information problem that magically only started being a problem under specific recent political circumstances and also tries to undermine some very important parts of how the free societies we've built over centuries work.
One sad aspect is the ? operator. In the beginning, Rust thought it could get away with explicitly handled return codes, without having support for direct style/exceptional error handling. But they've ended up with that in the end. If Rust had just used checked exceptions from the start (or equivalently if they had do-notation) they wouldn't have this lingering syntactic noise. Hindsight is 20/20 though - it would have been hard to convincingly predict that Rust would eventually end up with checked-exceptions-plus-syntactic-noise as its error handling paradigm - the experiment had to be carried out to see that it would end up like this. (Now, of course, exceptions have been thoroughly vindicated, and it would be silly to design a new language with explicitly handled return codes instead of checked exceptions)

> This restaurant commissioned me to create a structure that would allow its patrons to dine comfortably in cold and inclement weather while still keeping them at low risk of contracting COVID-19.

There are plenty of outdoor dining structures that provide good airflow, but those ones don't support "dining in cold or inclement weather". Personally, I won't dine outside unless the outdoor dining setup actually provides good airflow.
This is pre-Delta. It’s ridiculously more contagious now.
That's kind of the point of the article. We used to think "endgame" meant eliminating COVID, now it's become pretty clear that's not going to happen and the best we can do is get to state where we can live with it.

Most people accept search warrants signed by a judge for a crime. Proton mail was even nice enough to notify the user what they were the subject of a search.

With Gmail/Hotmail/etc your communication are at the finger tips of governments for non-criminal domestic surveillance. For example it has been alleged that the NSA leaked private emails of a journalist in order to score political damage.

>A global passive adversary is the most commonly assumed threat when analyzing theoretical anonymity designs. But like all practical low-latency systems, Tor does not protect against such a strong adversary. Instead, we assume an adversary who can observe some fraction of network traffic; who can generate, modify, delete, or delay traffic; who can operate onion routers of his own; and who can compromise some fraction of the onion routers.
One of my favourite examples of this is an episode of Mad Men (mild spoiler) where at the start of an episode one of the accounts guys is riding a ride-on lawn mower through the office (new client), and at the end of the episode a drunk secretary is using it to run over someone's foot.

Is it though? I don't know much about this company but their main selling point seems to be end to end encryption for mail messages. That's not a "privacy" feature by itself. Now it is a tool that you can use it to gain more privacy, but you could also have people who use it to cc all their emails to their entire facebook list. So it seems it all depends on how you use it and what type of privacy you try to achieve.

I don’t know exactly what a chemical engineering degree entails, but I feel safe to assume it involves a lot of labs with specialized equipment. That sort of thing, along with music ensembles, food prep, and many other courses of study just don’t bode well for effective remote learning. In due time I think that can change, but it would be a different solution for each field.
That study was way before delta, from Oct 2020 and with masking and social distancing in play. Delta is extremely infectious compared to the older strains. No way that children don't spread COVID very well to teachers anymore. Especially given the anti-masking push in schools.
Unfortunately, this very particular pair of meanings is always going to be sabotaged by hyperbole. Not the words, but the actual meanings.

Whatever word we have for "this is [truthfully] [adjective]", they're always going to use the word for "truthful" to give something added punch. Specifically in the sense of suggesting a quality has become so extreme that the metaphor is no longer an exaggeration.

Part of it is we humans just love metaphors come to life. Godzilla "literally" was taller than a skyscraper. Superman "literally" was stronger than a freight train. Tolkien was disappointed enough as a kid in Dunsinane forest "coming to life and walking" (by a bunch of men chopping off branches for camouflage, in MacBeth), that he wanted to do a story where the trees literally walked, without any metaphorical fine print.

Part of the rise of the popularity of open source in industries like VFX, 2D/3D animation, and graphic design is because many projects can't fund both their vision and monopoly vendor rates.

I've been promoting Blender to colleges for the last half decade, and in that time it's made its way into curriculum in all of them. That it provides us a greater supply of very talented artists that don't charge Autodesk rates is just one perk.
Two things:

Agreed -- "even treat that as adversarial".
Ya, it's so easy to point out something might not be exactly the way we thought, this position is probably the statistical more likely outcome anyways, we always refine our understanding of the universe year over year, it's unlikely we cracked the full extent of it yet. So if you just lived as a contrarian over time it be easy to always point out how we had one or more things "wrong", and make the claim you were thus right all along.

Why do you believe these rent seekers have a right to monetize the work of other people?

I can at least understand where the entertainment industry is coming from. I don't agree with them, I think their business model is backwards. However I understand the fact it costs a ton of money to produce films, series.

These journals on the other hand are simply indefensible. They don't do research. They don't do peer review. They don't do much of anything except exploit their brand name. So it doesn't matter what the law says. We refuse to recognize it as legitimate. It doesn't matter what rights they have. We'll take them away.

There's a bunch of projects that have implemented this. I wrote a SQLite VFS in Go that lets you query a read-only SQLite db over http (including from s3) [0].

The VFS API offers the possibility for weirder storage solutions, if thats the type of thing you're into. Recently I've been moving some of my personal websites hosted on AWS Lambda over to use a read/write sqlite db backed by DynamoDB[1]. There are a bunch of limitations to this type of thing (like it uses a global write lock), but it works nicely for DBs that have low write frequency.

The bags would contain a floppy or two and either a simple backer of card stock or a slim manual, usually with pretty amateur looking artwork.

Honestly games are so damned cheap these days I don't know why most people (that is, not the desperately poor) would even bother refunding them unless they're completely broken or they're being a dick.

$60 is an expensive AAA game by Steam standards and almost certainly comes with entirely too much content to appease people who think they need a lot of content to justify paying $60.

$60 is also what your average NES game retailed for, which would in today's money be over $200. And most of them were complete garbage.

Most games today that aren't AAA titles, which is to say the actually interesting games, go for a lot less than $60 anyway. A $20 game is the cost of one decent meal out.
It's perfectly possible to have good meals on the go, as evidenced by the fact that Italians, Spaniards, French and Peruvians can get simple lunch fares with high-quality ingredients and affordable prices, and it's not necessarily about home-cooked meals either.

Some thing I've encountered in practically every project in the last 10 years is a large number of calculated attributes that have to be in code or in triggers. I know MySQL and PostgreSQL both have generated/virtual columns but they are in-table only, and this can be accomplished with triggers, but I want to be able to simply define my table schemas based on schemas from other tables, and have the database system handle it automatically.

> More on that, I think this insistence on “financial literacy” is a very dirty play by today’s middle class (of which I’m a part, I confess) so that it won’t accept responsibility for the condition of the poor classes, it’s a sort of “it’s their fault for being poor because they are financially illiterate, there’s nothing much that we can do, the system works, the main proof being that we’re not poor”.

Why the focus on middle class? At least middle class bloggers point out the benefits of financial literacy and at least a few people in poverty benefit from this education. The upper classes on the other hand don't do even that.

And anyway, concretely as an individual neither major political party in the US wants to tackle this meaningfully so votes on this front are irrelevant. Providing genuinely useful financial information can be argued to be far more positively impactful than whatever regressive housing policies (e.g., Prop 13) are enacted by our elected governments in the US.

My ISP is subject to my local laws. Which are not good, in terms of my privacy.

My VPN provider is not - but is obviously subject to their local laws. Which are almost certainly also not good for my privacy either.

Spreading the threat across two different jurisdictions is without doubt "somehow better" than just using my ISP, at least in the case of protection against snooping by non serious crime law enforcement.

(Where I am, organisations like local councils, the taxi commission, fishing inspectors, and dog catchers - can all access our "mandatory telecommunications metal data retention" stuff with very little oversight... While my VPN is still in five eyes, so there's no point pretending national security, intelligence, or serious crime like terrorism/drugtrafficing would have no trouble getting cross jurisdictional access, I'm pretty sure the fishing inspectors or dog catchers won't have that sort of access.)
Using pull-request descriptions for the auto-generated change-log helps give more flexibility for authors to describe their work. It's possible to embed media in the PR description. It' easier to encourage ample description in PR descriptions than commit messages. We often want to leave commits at a finer granularity than features, making it hard to leave a coherent story.

> I'm already starting to see polarizing politics on the fringes start to turn endemic into a dirty word instead of the likely reality.

When you say all this, do you mean to say endemic means benign? Or do you mean to say out world is a fair bit worse than it was, but that’s the reality.

Endemic is consistent with “fairly harmful”. Malaria, Dengue, tuburculosis, HIV are all endemic diseases. Time has not made them milder either.

I’m asking as a genuine question because the people arguing for endemicity seem to often conflate it with “mild, like a cold”, but that isn’t what the words means.

I think “our world is worse now but very unlikely to eradicate” is probably true, but I’d like to get a sense of what people mean by endemicity.
I can see this being used selectively to silence certain protest groups like the cops waiting around while white nationalists attack journalists.

Looking at it again the source that I was citing is from 2004, which predates Katrina. Looks like it still hasn't bounced back in terms of tonnage passing through the port. But in terms of importance New Orleans isn't diminished; a deepwater port at the mouth of what is by far the country's most significant watershed is always going to be a strategic lynchpin. The entire midwest would be diminished without New Orleans.
