Hello! Adrian and Paul here, we conceived of Higher almost 2 years ago now, partly inspired by a HN thread! The other part was Paul being asked to endorse a colleague he had worked with before, he did so positively, however the owners asked him if he'd bet anything on it and he retracted his endorsement!

We invented the concept of a confidence curation market as a spin off from content creation markets, the system wide effect is those who rise to the top have the most network confidence in passing probation.

We also wanted to bring the human element back into recruiting, giving control back to the candidates to indicate their keenness and applicability for a role whilst staying informed (it's amazing how many recruiting processes right now DON'T update you), candidates can self-endorse or reach out to their network for endorsements.

It's a big idea with lots of nuances and we've just launched our MVP, we're happy to answer any questions!
And said Europol channel probably ended up landing with a police department in Swítzerland.

I think I would be happier with a "no, we cannot comply with your request" rather than the "no, we cannot comploy with your request, go to this other window..." but I wouldn't be surprised if the option they took is the legally safer route.

I'll expand on that idea.

Basically, very little on a C64 or similar machine of the time was standardised and interchangeable or "insulated" from the rest of the system. Nor were applications insulated from the hardware. You couldn't upgrade the speed of the CPU, or replace the gfx chip without breaking a ton of software. The modular nature of computer systems today simply didn't exist back then. So upgrades had to be system wide upgrades of everything in many cases, basically whole new systems and new software would have to be written for them.

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

their users were too fanatical over "Swiss laws" to pay attention, going as far to demand proof when observers were merely pointing out the fundamental flaw in the Protonmail concept and incongruent advertising

well, now there is proof

YouTube has been changing in weird ways in the last year or so.

The amount of propaganda on the platform is ridiculous, though very frequently disguised as "news" or "educational". As someone who's been around quite a bit, I can also imagine that it doesn't look like propaganda to average Americans (I'd be glad to be wrong on this).

A great deal of content is just plain sophistry too. Inspecting comments, it seems that most viewers don't pick up on this.

At the same time, finding reviews or alike for products or services is near impossible -- the platform is filled with generic reviews which are indistinguishable form ads.
These days, it's not enough to live in a world-class city, you need to have your own kitchen, living room, and bathroom that barely get used. The people I know who complain about high cost of living refuse to live with other people.
Great news, the concept that you need college to succeed was one of the greatest lies told to my generation. Pleased the next generation is waking up.

End of the day if the loan can't be written off, if the loan is just handed out to 18 year olds and has almost no limit then the organization that asks for the loan will inevitably balloon out of all proportion and no longer be reflective at all of the value you get back for almost all cases.

I say that as someone who managed to actually pay off their student loan, dread to think how people who are late 30s, still renting and still with 5 figures of college debt feel.

Hope this trend continues, why throw away the down payment of a mortgage to an institution that has spent the past decade telling you they don't want you. If in 10 years I'm seeing headlines about colleges unable to stay open from low admissions I'll be smiling.

I'm confused as to how you reached this error message; "age -d" doesn't support recipient files / -R, only identity files (which is what age-keygen produces). It would be helptul to open an issue showing how to reproduce; either there's a bug, or documentation could be improved.

I would like to bring up a point often missed with blue collar housing work (plumber, electrician, dry wall, etc). It is EASY to start your own thing. Once you are licensed and bonded you can quickly buy your own truck, hire an apprentice, setup yelp, setup an online receptionist and be overbooked. Right now plumbers are hard to get and electricians are months out. The plumbers I work with cannot keep up with the work and make over $80 per hour (no where florida). If "Bobs orlando plumbing" runs out of work, they just park the truck. There is NO overhead.

If you contrast to an attorney or doctor -- those firms/practices are extremely challenging to start and operate on your own. The salaries of your employees are high at best, marketing is extremely expensive, and insurance can wipe out a firm/practice.

No, I'm referring to pcloud. I'm not saying they are necessarily a bad service or anything, just that their marketing is false.

When one of progressives guiding philosophies is “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.

It’s all in their texts and one only has to read them to see plainly the type of policy they work towards.
I think the important point when GPG uses something like a Yubikey as a portable air gapped system is that the private key is kept exclusively on the device and is normally not even available to the owner of that key. That implies that the asymmetric encryption is done on the device as well.

AD: I'm very over-due on the second part to this series... On my third re-write. I promise to have it up very soon. It covers why human-centric systems are important particularly in this space.
No, this is misinterpretation and too absolute a conclusion. The truth is not found in extremes. Protection is about reducing viral load -- it is useful even without fully eliminating viral load. A cloth facemask does get damp when you breathe through it, ergo some of your exhaled water (= infection carrier) got caught. An N95 mask catches a lot more. You need a bit of viral load to get infected, so whatever reduces viral load will help.

It is dangerous to immediately conclude that aerosol transmission makes masks security theater. They do not, they do help a lot.
When I was studying software engineering, I met a girl who switched major after the first year.

I saw her again once in the lab, and I asked her why did you switch, she said, and I quote her exact words: "why would I sit and code all day when I've this a$$, pointing at her back."

I honestly didn't know what to say afterward. Our program had special scholarship for women, and we had only one woman (out of 30 or so) and that was more than 10 years ago.

Define 'problem' and why anybody would think the requirement was that it would magically vanish, else society does not count.

Society functions THROUGH conflict and chaos. It's like brownian motion, noise in circuitry: if you're trying to define an ideology where there's no more conflict, the most direct way is to define an enemy and then rally everyone to destroy it. And that is said to work for a thousand years but actually blows up within ten, leaving enormous wreckage and shame.

Better to design the fault-tolerant system that runs through conflict and chaos.

I wish he were wrong, because he's saying sucks, but he's just telling the hard truth the way it is.

YouTube won't change, yet we continue using it as if it didn't have the track record it does.
This. If you pay ProtonMail, you don't have your emails automatically scanned by some company to show you advertisements, and you have encryption at rest. That's all.

This is only possibly true if your definition of "global" is "1st world".
> Who are the sponsors: The sponsors, per the Times, are "usually parents or family members already residing in the United States," and are supposed to have gone through "a detailed background check."

> The department is supposed to follow up with the sponsors after housing the children to make sure they are "enrolled in school and are aware of their court dates," but immigration advocates told the Times that HHS "did very little follow-up.:

You know what else they did for sponsors? Used the kidnapped children as hostages to draw them in, and then when the background check uncovered unclear immigration status, arrested and deported the sponsors. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/ice-arrested-170-immigra...

I would like to use an analogy to the Holocaust work camps at this point, but everything I can come up with is too close for comfort, too similar to be obviously satirical, not hyperbolic enough. Most of the government employees involved in these policies have enthusiastically or reluctantly committed victim-ful felonies at the behest of fascists in the White House taking what can only be represented as the first steps in a race war. Trump literally (falsely) promised millions of people would be raided by ICE immediately after he gained power, and child separation & 'the public display of excessive cruelty is the immigration policy' began soon after. It's not fucking rocket science if some of their victims aren't answering their phones as a result.

We live in a political pendulum where one party views them as nonhuman vermin, and the other party wants to find a middle-of-the-road compromise on the matter; Records created by one will survive to be exploited by the other.

As you said, that's a different narrative with a different picture. OP's story is about individuals saying they feel lost, and then it shows them bumming around at home.

After I quit university and before I found my eventual career path back in the 90s, a relevant picture would've been me stuffing around on the computer as that's largely what I did (writing a book, playing Hextris, typing up things for my dad, seeing what a modem could do, etc).

Sure, those structures didn't exist prior, but that doesn't mean their existing now doesn't provide an advantage to those who benefit from them.

And it's not that I'm against such structures or groups on the basis of shared identity that you're born with, but I think it would be beneficial for those structures ( especially when they're company funded ) to have niches for those who don't fit niches.

This is extra problematic because pcloud doesn't encrypt files by default.

(It does have its "secure vault" but you can't sync it to your computer and costs a significant extra fee to use. You may as well use cryptomator)

cs.man.ac.uk, at least back in 1992, had a compulsory Prolog module in the first year. Don't know anyone from then who didn't hate that module with a burning passion.

(There was no Java, C++, etc. either. It was SML, Pascal, 68000, and Oracle Pascal-Embedded-SQL.)
I see. That does complicate things somewhat.

I wonder if there's merit in them approaching studios with a proper business plan?
I agree that they are a great email provider, the lesser evil, and I myself use a paid plan. But I believe that, as a society, we are rolling down a slippery slope where digital privacy becomes more difficult everyday.

A couple of weeks ago, it was Apple announcing that they will spy by default in all of their customers via the iPhones because of child pornography. Apple has spent galleons of gold marketing itself as a privacy-first company and they are not a pushover; for them to do that, whatever is going on behind the curtains must be grim.

I thought it would be a few years before somebody wanted to use something like that technology for something less serious. Then yesterday the news broke that courts had forced ProtonMail to break their business just so the French police could find a climate activist.

In my view, we are heading to a world where our electronic devices and services will be used to prosecute petty crimes, like drinking alcohol in Arab countries or even parking over the line anywhere else.
> Yes, exactly. Meanwhile the Rust community, in its current fast-changing, cutting-edge state is doing its best to work itself into being a basic dependency for everything. In the name of safety.

I don't understand your complaint here. It feels like you want to have your cake and eat it. You want nobody else to use anything too new to be packaged in enterprise Linux repositories, yet you want freedom to use the latest versions of these software, despite having perfectly usable versions for your era of software packaged in that enterprise distro.

Rust is now an indirect dependency of ansible and you need to go outside the RHEL supported process to build the latest commit of ansible (or Firefox, or linkerd, or whatever) on your RHEL/CentOS 7 system. Or you could just use the RHEL supported version of ansible.

The current RHEL version (RHEL 8) even has Rust packages, in the same repository and level of trust as such famously cutting edge software as nginx, node and dotnet.

I am part of that group. I am willing to accept a free-for-all till a company reaches a certain size as far as its user-or-customer base is concerned: something between the population of New Zealand and that of Australia. Beyond that it should be answerable to the people.

Publicly traded companies have a main goal of making profits for shareholders.

This seldom aligns with the public's interest. For many (most?) companies, only the rich have any voting power, whereas the majority of the population just has to follow along.

Publicly traded companies are like a democracy where you get more votes the more money you have. The implication here is that your voice/needs are only important if you're rich, and are unimportant if you're average or poor (which kind of explains why the US is the way it is).
