While you are right, the question still stands. There is no value in the latter two. The only value is in the first, and that's not what you're paying for, so why pay at all?
People are not components in an engineered system. When you work with statistics it might appear that way, but people have a way of creating conflict and chaos when least expected. It is a fallacy to think that one need only set up the right societal structures and this problem will magically vanish.
I found the article overall useful. It seems to me that this issue is still not completely resolved, esp world-wide. The author gives disclaimer that they are not a lawyer, and then give what seems like their opinions. They give a scattering of references to court cases. But it seems they could have done a better job of giving proof for their claims. (UPDATE: The latter part of the article does better than the first.)

Everyone thought it was cool how episodes of The Walking Dead kept getting longer. But then someone ran the numbers and it turned out the episodes were still the standard ~40 minutes, and every single new minute past that was ads. And not just ads, but lots of super short ads, so they're even more annoying.

pretty much every comment section about protonmail has been pointing this out for years

well, now there is proof
I don't think that a text judging biology, written by an (arguably smart) linguist dating 50 years back can be in any sense "definitive". Even in a moral and political one. Science evolves and real-world consequences follow.

Someone playing with electricity in 1800 was doing scientifically insignificant research. 100 years later, electricity was a major industrial force.

We are just entering the era when genetic manipulations of not just embryos, but adult organisms will be possible. One day, this technology will be used on humans as well. Even if the U.S. forbade such research, other countries likely won't. 20 or 30 years from now, progressives will have to find answers to technology that can tune various parameters of human beings, maybe including some cognitive abilities.

Start with community college part time, get grades and take prerequisites, then apply to other programs. Spending two years at community college and then transferring to a 4 year college is pretty common as well if you want to attend full time, but part time is going to be easier.

I don’t know where you live or what you want to study, but if you focus on taking the coursework you need it becomes a lot easier. I’d suggest calling admissions departments as well, not trying to piece everything together yourself online. Feel free to email me if you want to share more information and I can give more specific and better researched suggestions.

It's the only way to innovate imo.
This was my comment on a previous discussion of project planning:

A project plan is only a point in time prediction of a project end date. It should be continuously updated as new facts are known (scope changes, additional complexity, unknown risks happen).
Obviously as you progress through your project, you predicted end date should become more and more accurate.

A project plan, though, is a prediction of the future. I've not seen anyone that can predict the future perfectly. That's not to say that you shouldn't do it, but defective project management creates a project plan on Day 0 and then tries to bend reality to meet the plan.

*Obviously all the above is caveated with reasonableness - you do try and bend reality a certain amount to meet your plan, and you try and keep to your plan as much as possible.
It could also imply lack of candidates.

Which is demonstrably true; they're not hiring from the general population they're hiring largely from universities, and you can look at those universities and see there's already an imbalance in demographics of the available job candidates.
>YouTube will never change and it will only get worse.

Private entities can be swayed by their customer's demands. Not saying that YT _will_ be swayed, just that this sort of creator outrage has a place in the market system, and "throwing a tantrum" over their bad behavior doesn't always have to be met with "private entities can do whatever they want!"
I agree totally agree on both points. I also think though there is an opacity element, If you can’t see/will know if these service providers did a good “quality” job corners are habitually cut.

E.g. if I have a new button that’s been sewn on a jacket, or have my house painted, I can easily see if the right button was used, or if spots were missed while painting. However if I take my car in for an oil change, I don’t really know if the right grade of oil and an OEM filter was used, nor do I really care to recheck my accountants work on my taxes (as long is it roughly pencils to what I expected).
When was the last non-black hire at your company?
Yes, this was common knowledge, yet back in the day most distro setups still put swap at the end by default for reasons unknown to me. Apart from the speed issue, that also made moving an existing installation to a larger disk more complicated, since you couldn't just resize the os partition, you had to delete and then recreate swap.
There are quite a few on ebay if you're desperate for one. Probably won't find the newer 4-NIC models, though.

Ebay or a licensed reseller (if there are any) should be easier anyways. I remember them requiring a VAT ID for EU customers. I ordered a couple for a small business so that was no problem back then but private individuals are pretty much out of luck.
> Try this yourself: write a simple web server in Go, host it on a cheap VPS provider, let's say at the option that costs $20/mo. Your website will be able to handle more than 1k/s requests with hardly any resource usage.

These people have never heard of Go, obviously. The likely scenario is not that you haven't fully understood their constraints or requirements, it's that you're just smarter than they are.

> So what? You can scale vertically, upgrade to the $120/mo server. Your website now should be able to comfortably handle 5k req/s

Take that order of magnitude cheaper, single VPS server solution you're proposing and build something with it. Sounds like you'd make a lot of money. There has to be a business idea around "storing metadata and displaying it as a webpage" somewhere? Easiest problem on the web.

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

- Local law enforcement can force the to do so.

- Locals laws can change.

- Guys with guns might barge in and demand it.

Mostly, you can understand that they don't _intend_ to log IPs, and aren't in the business of collecting and redistributing data. But that doesn't mean you can count on absolute and unconditional secrecy.
I don't think so. The original comment says that YouTube has:

> the right to terminate and de-platform anyone's account who has been in violation of YouTube's guidelines and terms of service.

The problem here is letting automated systems, with a history of producing false-positives for content that didn't violate the Guidelines or ToS, having final say on account termination, with no concrete way to appeal - To me this is a fair criticism.

If the original comment says "the right to arbitrarily terminate and de-platform anyone's account", then I'll say that you have a point.
ProtonVPN or a similar service would have helped that.

They are only required to provide the IP Addresses from ProtonMail but ProtonVPN gets different treatment legally speaking, were they cannot (currently) force logging [0][1].

[1] checked with Andy Yen (CEO/Founder)
I see it the same way. For me it always meant that the default mode is not to log. It's normal that they have to enable logging if a valid request to do so comes from the authorities.

Same goes for any of the German mail providers like mailbox.org or posteo.de ("We do not save your IP address when you visit or use our website. [...] To protect your privacy and for security reasons, we also delete any potential IP address entries made by local email programs from the email headers. Emails sent using our webmail interface or using email programs therefore contain neither your local nor your public IP address."). If the authorities can prove that they have a legitimate reason to expect them to log the IP addresses, then they must do it. They are all normal companies which need to abide by the law if they want to conduct business.
>Isn't what you just described Fuschia?

The problem is that someone always controls that service. So they can always go after that person (irrespective of where the service is) and force them to modify it.

I was thinking you could have some sort of satellite service with data stored on the satellite. Allow multiple authorised ground stations to connect and store/retrieve emails for users. But again, the person that controls the software and operation would be a target.
They’re basically hosting illegal content, or at least a good chunk of it is copyright-infringing so they cannot use cloudflare or any of the other off the shelf offerings
Your point is well taken that the headline is misleadingly conflating “who he was” with “what he did wrong”.

But is the actual crime any better, though?

If squatting and resisting arrest were the crimes, then I don’t see what justification there could be for wanting to probe into his emails.

They already know the extent of what he did, and where he did it, by nature of the crimes themselves… no?
>I think there is a market for datacenters in open seas.

The idea of having a isolated sovereign floating platform in the ocean doesn't doesn't really solve the problem of escaping the rules of national governments because it still needs network connections into those countries.

Whether it's underseas fiber optic cables or bouncing signals off of satellites, the datacenter will be rendered useless if nations' citizens get a "This site can’t be reached. [...] ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"

It addition to the physical network topology challenges, the ip address space allocation is controlled by IANA ... which is a government entity.

I might be wrong, but I think I've read somewhere (here on HN) that kernel has no idea about disk head position. It's job of HDD's firmware to reorder read/write instructions it received from kernel for optimal performance.

Also, firmware can "remap" some (bad) sectors into reserve area without kernel knowing.
> So it was bound to happen.

And this was quite obvious for someone who actually looked into staying anonymous (or gave the Protonmail threat model page a deeper read).

> What makes me sad is how flimsy their entire premise (not necessarily "promise") turned out to be: all it took was some minor rascal in France to hug the wrong tree (so to speak), and ProtonMail is in the open saying they can't even protect the IP address of their customers.

That's a big simplification. It took quite a few authorities to wave through a very draconian request for (what appears to be) a minor crime. As Protonmail themselves pointed out, they never promised to protect the IPs and they could explicitly not promise that. In fact, they even stated very clearly that they could not. Expecting them to print that on the frontpage is quite unreasonable when their marketing has to compete with shady VPNs that promise the sky.

> Humans have done quite well for tens of thousands of years with a complete absence of it. Somehow our current culture can look at the wasteland of human lives and endeavour brought about by unfettered anonymous speech and somehow still still see it as an unalloyed good.

By what standard are you calling the tens of thousands of years of 'a complete absence of anonymous speech' "quite well" and the present "a wasteland of human lives"?
The problem here is not study of genetics, but the tacit assumption that society must be constructed for the elevation of whatever the 'best' is, and the suppression and destruction of the 'worst'.

The rest is just where you place the line, and if you grant that, you are establishing the threshold for genocide.

Things would be a bit simpler if the argument wasn't 'never talk about any differences among people', but 'never place that line, because society is not constructed for the destruction of the least among it'.

It is NOT an inevitable requirement that society is constructed for the destruction of the least among it.
>honestly deep down most guys dont want an over educated achiever wife.

This is exactly what baffled me about people saying "I'm cancelling my PM subscription" as if they didn't make this abundantly clear. In their transparency report, they state very clearly that they "may also be obligated to monitor the IP addresses" being used to access accounts engaged in criminal activity.

Privacy activists, for some reason, don't take the time to read transparency reports.
They also say that they had no idea about the identity of the activist and the charges against them. That means that the information was not provided in the warrant/police request, and thus that they can’t or don’t want to look into the merits of any requests. My hypothesis is that the 700 cases they mention are requests from _foreign_ authorities, to whom they answer that they need the request to come through Swiss authorities. More like a template email than a “fight”
