I believe this because when I see people dying from living in flooded basement apartments -- a *well known*, documented risk of flooding from natural disasters -- I don't see "the cost was not justifiable", because it would have cost almost nothing to save their lives.

I'm not saying we can prevent any/all deaths -- that is impossible. I am saying I want responsible planning and policy that centers human life, not money, as the very point of all this planning and spending in the first place. But some of the deaths, such as the basement situations, from this disaster were very needless and do not cost trillions to prevent.

I don't believe this. Will just be blamed on Russia again. Ridiculous, but it seems to work.
Flip the question around and you either see how ridiculous the question is, or how disdainful it is of the art of writing (or both): “What happens when the best writer, ever, does VFX for a film?”.

Also by what measure is this person “the best practical VFX artist, ever”? Is there some global competition with leaderboards going back decades where this person is ranked objectively as number one?

The latest iOS supports 6 year old iPhones ... this law seems pretty reasonable give that a iPhone 6 is unsupported but is still a solid device.

Just looking at the iPhone release list, I we should be doing something like full product support for at least 5 years, full software support for 7 years, security updates for 10 years (iPhone 5 and up).
Not sure if you're comfortable sharing it, but if so, how many copies have you been able to sell?

Aiming for strict calorie neutrality is fairly difficult in my experience. Unless you are tracking, it's pretty easy in the US to slip up on empty carbs or processed fats.

Sit anyone down in front of their local pizza joint and tell them to eat a calorically neutral diet without a tracker and see what happens. Compare this to what happens when someone is sat in front of roast chicken and a high fiber vegetable like asparagus/spinach etc.

Odds are you'll get closer to calorie neutrality and balanced macros in the latter scenario than the former.
The tragedy here is that ivermectin is already tribal signaling for the mainstream media. It'll be pretty hard to have proper conversations over it. I'd be willing to bet this post has already been flagged a couple of times.

I took prophylactic ivermectin for a few weeks, and yes, it had a picture of a dog on the box, because that's the only kind I could find. You won't find human ivermectin where I live because there are no endemic parasites to treat - or at least, they are few. I stopped after getting my first shot - vaccines are the strictly superior version. But the cost-benefit situation was already clear last winter: it has a very good safety profile, and may help prevent and treat early Covid. No reason to ban people for saying that, or at least no medical reason, nor a humanitarian or social one. But it does get one virtual signaling points, because we have to get those heretics to vaccinate, even if we have to burn to the ground everything they might consider an alternative. When they have nothing left they'll realize we wanted what's good for them all along.

This is the first time I've seen someone argue for the preservation of bureaucracy - I think the idea that health are policy should be rational is inarguable, but I think we could use Lewin's Three step model to Change Management as a guide to far-reaching public policy.

Increase the collaborative nature of policymaking with constituents and there'd be less panic about mandating things, because the public will feel as if they had a say in it. I think there was a subtle dig at the current administration's non-patrimonialism, but if they use collaboration and public discussion as ways of formulating healthcare measures, then there wouldn't be need for strongman leadership to require mandates.

Of course, mandating isn't necessarily the best choice, especially at any federal level, and the introduction of that idea should be floated in public discourse.

If anything the Feds should be the reasonable ones since they (in theory) derive their powers from the consensus of the entire nation, whereas state governments are more likely to implement reactionary and anti-human policies, especially if located in a region where those supportive of such policies tend to congregate.

> Under no circumstances can our encryption be bypassed, meaning emails, attachments, calendars, files, etc. cannot be compromised by legal orders.

This is false.

Each time you visit protonmail you re-download (cache can be invalidated) their client. It would be trivial for them to serve a specific user a modified client which uploads their encryption keys.

This problem is not specific to protonmail, any service which contends to be secure with respect to some server (the protocol relies on the client to decrypt stuff the server cannot) can be compromised this way because of implicit trust in the client software which can be modified at any time with no notice - making any auditing entirely meaningless in the case of targeted attacks.

This problem should perhaps be addressed by browsers since it seems they are becoming pseudo operating systems.
For me I think “written in Rust”actually does add a lot.

It is a signal that this will be easy to build, easy to deploy (because it is compiled into a single binary in general), memory safe, and likely to be written by a someone that cares about performance and efficiency.

I think those are all valuable hints.
I understand they are billed that way but in practice I don't believe they fulfill that goal, as the job of making the messages unreadable is mostly already done by transport security (SMTP TLS). Sure it can protect against some things if the mail server is the target, but as we see here, there is still a large amount of identifying metadata that they (unavoidably) have on you. The goal with "privacy" is to ensure that your communications are undetectable and unidentifiable, and I would hardly call it that if it's still regularly going through a well-known mail server attached to a highly identifiable account. And of course it depends on how much you actually use the E2E encryption which is technically optional, for example if you send/receive a lot of mail from gmail users that aren't using S/MIME, which still seems to be the case for a lot, then it won't be enabled and your messages are still vulnerable in a server hack.

It is always an exercise in horrible estimates and it gets really tiresome. If you always greatly exceed the estimate (by orders of magnitude!) it wasn’t a good estimate, it was PR. I assume NASA has real estimates they use internally. No one could be this bad at it and still have a job there surely.

I think the reason people use it is the reason why people still use dating apps. Choice is infinite. Every time you swipe, is a new person, a new video, a new hit of dopamine. An insatiable appetite for something new. It is also power. With the dating apps it’s the power to dismiss someone with a swipe, no need to waste time looking at their profile. In TikTok there are no YouTube ads, and you can swipe quickly past videos that don’t spike interest (dopamine).

While the incident is really a bit worrying, I'm personally not paying PM to protect me from state-agents - I'm paying them to protect me from Joe working in marketing.

If a state agent wants my data and brings the necessary paperwork to get it - I'm not expecting anyone to put up a hopeless fight for me, or at least not for the 100 bucks or so that I'm paying yearly for PM.

I just expect them to not sell out my data altogether, which PM doesn't seem to be doing, and this is all (or at least, most) that I care about.
This will never happen. Period.
I really don't know the situation but it sounds like for these 700 orders in 2020, they can legally challenge the validity of order in the court. But this one particular order, their excuse sounds like it comes from other channel, something akin to the order of Roman dictator so they have no veto power.

Sabotaging and seek political asylum to Non-EU countries is the best action they could take in order to keep their face, and resist the dictator.
Giving this project such a politically charged name is a bit cringey.

It could turn some people off who would otherwise be interested.

Unless of course you're only interested in targeting a more narrow group to begin with. That's ok to, it just potentially limits the reach of the user pool.

For an app whos success will be governed by 'network effects', it helps to cast that net as wide as possible instead of narrowing it.
We're talking about rich people occupying social homes intended for the poorest people. However bad it may be for 'medium-rich' people, it's much worse for poor. Any extreme outcome (like living on the streets) would have a much higher chance with poor, than medium-rich, who tend to have options. There's plenty of housing stock at 1200 a month that can be shared by two 'medium-rich' persons within a 45m commute from their work. No such options exist for poor people for whom social housing is intended. Of course means-testing will create issues for medium-rich, that's not the question, the question is if it's fair to protect them from these issues at the expense of the poor, by giving the rich subsidised housing intended for the poor. The answer is obviously (to me) no.
So, I wonder why not just a Dockerfile instead of writing a playbook

One of the maintainers commented in a sibling comment to yours that they use the same ansible to build VM images, so that was more work.

Well, if you use Dockerfiles then of course you won't see a command used mostly by alternative build processes, but that's hardly a meaningful objection.

A far stretch to conclude that this event can equate to awful engineering.

The rest of this your comment reads like you continue to be naive to Atlassian’s success. I have to think many people do find unique value in their products (myself included), some people don’t laugh rudely when they hear what folks are working on, and I think that shows in the overall achievements of the Atlassian team and product.

I’ve witnessed first hand truly fantastic organizational changes after adopting Jira, Confluence, etc., and I wouldn’t continue to write them off so easily.
No. "Trusted" hardware merely creates the illusion of a secure system, while allowing those with the resources to defeat it anyway. First, there would be 20 years of bugs after having to root your camera became a thing. Two, unless the sensor modules themselves are made into trusted components, it would be relatively easy to wire up a mock sensor to the "secure" processor. And three, camera makers would eventually be pressured to undermine the system's security invariants, ala Apple.
But this can happen anyway during the "regular" support window. I had this happen to me ol years back and it made booting the phone go from a few seconds to minutes as it had to do something with each installed app. This eventually got me to put a custom ROM just so I could stop having this bug, all because the manufacturer (Samsung) stopped caring about it.
> Under Swiss law, it is obligatory for a user to be notified if a third party makes a request for their private data and such data is to be used in a criminal proceeding.

They’re not explicit with regards to the activist, this would mean the activist was notified upon ProtonMail receiving the request?

I’m not sure there’s much you can do but lawyer up if you receive such a notice, but potentially the activist could have immediately started using Tor (maybe too late though, because to read the notice they might have already leaked their IP).

I think you're misinterpreting. It doesn't matter where the user is from at all. They are obligated to disclose certain things if they get a request from the Swiss authorities, but it certainly does not only apply to people living in Switzerland.

It simply means that if, lets say the US, govt makes a request, they are not obligated to comply unless they are specifically requested by the Swiss authorities.
Agreed! Not a fair comparison either way; if I compare Cash' addClass then it doesn't really "do anything" besides call the other method, so I'd say the toggleClass is representative of _the 3 methods together_, so 1/3rd? It's nice code :)

Shaving off 1kb out of 6kb of optimized GZIP code is probably impossible unless you missed something important.

I also went deep into optimizing Umbrella JS, it does a lot less than Cash so hence it's a lot smaller as well; but I went so far as comparing the GZIP output of calling `for ()` vs `forEach`, etc:

https://medium.com/@fpresencia/understanding-gzip-size-836c7...

That's why I am not concerned of repeating e.g. `function() {}` (instead of the, back then, experimental () => {}) many times, since with gzip in my experience that gets all totally abstracted out.

Edit: edited the original, explaining that Cash it's doing it nicely!
> I am an advocate for not letting the virus rip through the unvaccinated. I like people alive and I like our hospital systems unburdened.

Right, and so this is where I disagree with the OP. I don't want anyone to die—I want everyone to be safe and healthy, including people who make bad choices.

However, I don't think that I have a responsibility to protect the people who insist on making bad choices. I absolutely did have that responsibility early in the pandemic, and I acted accordingly—I stayed home, I wore a mask, I turned down get-togethers, etc.

Now things are different. Vaccines are readily available in the US (and especially in the metropolitan New York area where I live), and any adult who is still unvaccinated has made an explicit decision to live dangerously. And I still don't want them to die—but I also want to go out with friends, and I'm not willing to give that up for the sake of people who can't be bothered to protect themselves!
They say "cannot be compromised by legal orders" and they say they are bound by and only by swiss laws.

Maybe what they mean is that the swiss authorities have no legal basis on which to force them to serve a modified, backdoored, client like the one you're talking about.

It does just move supply/demand around, that's the waterbed effect.

If you remove buy-to-let investors, then buying a home becomes easier, but not necessarily any cheaper, because the rental supply (from buy-to-let) drops and therefore the prices of rentals go up, thereby increasing the demand for buying a home, countering the lower demand from buy-to-let investors. Demand has been moved around, the shortages are still as big, and there's no significant effect on prices.

> If the ecosystem and climate collapsed, us rich folk could live in air conditioned houses powered by solar or nuclear power, eat food grown in green houses and drink desalinated water.

Eh, no. We don't have the infrastructure to live in air conditioned houses powered by solar or nuclear power. Both solar and nuclear only can power a fraction of houses. And if you need additional power to grow food that fraction gets ever smaller.

For both nuclear and a solar power you need an extensive, global infrastructure that will require raw materials (nuclear; fuel, solar; finished products) from all over the world. Good luck trying to acquire enough uranium from all over the world when all is going to shits. Who do you think exactly is going to do the extraction?

So, I guess we'll all die, rich and poor.
