Friend, LUKS is reliable. LUKS doesn't just eat data in those edgecases you talk about, there would be tons of reports if that were the case. LUKS is used all over the place for non-server uses too.

I can count at least 3 devices that are all LUKS-encrypted that are used as consumer devices daily. I trip over the power cord, I let the battery die, I drop it, I fly regularly, etc, etc. Never once had a single issue.

In fact, the single time that I've had FS issues under Linux was running under Hyper-V but that's because of the slowly-being-uncovered serious issues w/ Hyper-V.
Yes, and I think it's related to an issue from earlier in July where gmail spam got way too strict.

Here's a thread where I walk through our hassle trying to get Gsuite support to try to acknowledge they even consider this an issue, let alone do something about it: https://twitter.com/JustinMcCammon/status/141761476919279206...

tldr; remove all bit.ly links from your emails

Google has massively messed up spam filters and we got confirmation that they are aware of the issue from Gsuite support (although it seemed like Google did not consider it a problem and was just the absolute worst to try to work with via support. Absolutely terrible at every interaction except one rep who had to fight the system to help us investigate).

We use Gsuite at work and ran into issues where in the middle of an email thread, with contacts we'd exchanged dozens of messages over many weeks and even months, suddenly the emails were being sent to our spam folder or worse, rejected entirely (which ends up being a silent failure unless you are really on top of your email logs or you have clients that pick up the phone and say "why haven't you responded to my email?" we had the latter).

We reach out and spent weeks going back and forth daily with Google "support". I'd spend hours on the phone with them going through steps to recreate it and trying to find workarounds. Aside from one good rep who acknowledged many other people were writing in about it at the same time we were it really seemed like Google could not care less.

At one point I got so desperate I searched on twitter to find other people complaining about things. I found a person who was willing to help me - she was on the other side of things - someone NOT using gmail trying to send emails to gmail users and getting the rejection bouncebacks all of a sudden. She helped me figure out some of the root causes. Turns out Google decided that all bit.ly links were bad and if one appeared in your email it was either rejected or sent to spam (we couldn't figure out why one or the other). With her help we figured out clear steps to reproduce the issue and I did so on emails I controlled to send all the email headers and such to Google thinking they would realize the obvious issue.

Turns out we had bit.ly links in our own company email signature and so what was happening is when a client would reply to our email and it would include our own signature in it then google would flag that email as bad.

In addition there were some cases where links to google docs or youtube (the irony!) were also getting flagged.

The only thing we did that worked was to set up custom exception rules in gsuite to always allow emails through that contained bit.ly links or gdoc links as well as turn off ALL spam filtering. Naturally we all got lots more spam but we also could get regular emails again, which was much appreciated.

I had a phone convo with someone at bit.ly since I figured they might like to know and maybe could apply some pressure to google but after running it up the ladder there they ghosted me.

The problem is that you can easily read a concise article, nod your head, understand it, and then entirely forget it.

With a book, you get the main ideas presented multiple times, applied, examined, refined, put in context, etc. Now, you’ll also forget all that apparently extraneous stuff, but at least you’ll remember the main ideas.

The stupidity of this aside, I think it's an instructive example of the "mall cop" effect: police forces, instead of tackling major crime and public safety often end up putting much of their effort into petty enforcement, really out of laziness, because speeding tickets or whatever are an easy metric to rack up, compared to trying to do actual police work.

The same is true here. We're effectively in the middle of a massive civil liberties crisis, but it's hard and unpopular to engage with that, and so to score points they
trot out some silly thing like this that is infinitely easier than actually engaging with the issues they could be.

It's their prerogative, but it shows they are irrelevant and I hope enough people realize this for their funding to dry up.

I'm not sure if I'd consider it all hype, at least not when talking about the force required to press down a key. When using regular 55g switches (brown, red, or something else), my fingers get tired rather quickly. But when using 35g red switches, I can go all day without any problems (finger wise at least). I've tried lighter (20g), but I ended up accidentally pressing keys too often.

I will say this: clicky switches serve no practical purpose. The same goes for tactile switches, _especially_ when using light springs as you'll bottom out most of the time. Whether you buy Cherry switches, Kailh or something else doesn't really matter either ergonomics wise.

Knee jerk reaction, I don't think a programming language will benefit law in any capacity.

If there's a dispute around existing code, who's going to translate it to Catala?

If there's legal reason to write a specific program for something, why wouldn't that be some kind of patent or similar?

The only English example (US Tax Code) has a broken link too, "source code files of the example", so I can't even see that.

Idk. Just doesn't seem useful from what I see so far.

>>those are some big demands you've got.

They aren't demands, but suggestions if the CCP wants to be viewed positively. But yes, for an expansionist authoritarian regime, stopping being so expansionist and dialing back the authoritarianism might be seen as big demands

>>Do you have any leverage? Many people wanted Russia to stop pestering their neighbors and the world.

Personally, none but the ability to speak out. At the business and government level, plenty. Especially about the Russia regime, they are a classic authoritarian state, who pushes until they get pushback. The problem is that western countries always want "good relations" so they let a lot of things slide in the interest of "good relations", so the authoritarian goes further. Pretty soon, the authoritarian is using chemical weapons to murder people on your soil in broad daylight, or putting armies on the soil of neighboring countries to annex them and shooting down commercial airliners, while you are basically waving a finger back at them. Pushback hard and early, and it seems excessive and "bad relations" politically, but if it goes on for too long, and the choice becomes capitulation to the authoritarians or a big war.

So yes, individually, we are unimportant, but we must do what we can to promote self-determination and hope we can convince our governments to follow through.

I wonder why the subkeys are valid for 1d and not something much shorter like 15 minutes. IIUC if the frontend IAM servers of a service get compromised you can only accept traffic for that service again on the next day, when a new subkey is valid.

I also wonder whether those subkeys are copied over to the frontend server (that might be a lot of data to copy) every day or requested and cached (possibly high latency for first call)
Sadly, our world could be decidedly worse as well.

I used to discuss putting obvious skinnerian and behavioral systems in games as a joke back in the day when Diablo 2 came out. Years later what I thought as an awful joke was the mobile gaming business model.

There are many jokes I can make about how to run Facebook more “efficiently”. How to take the wrong lessons from the many, many business propaganda efforts that have been successful.

Sorry, at this point I am a bit disheartened just thinking about it. I was trying to connect to your point, but I really can’t thin of anything positive to say anymore.
This is off subject of the worm issue, but my mom has owned retired racing greyhounds for years, and I’ve grown to love the breed.

I get your sentiment, the tracks have been notoriously bad in many aspects of the dogs safety and health. But the issue is more complex then just ‘shutting down’ the tracks I think.

They are wonderful dogs, I love them so much, great personality & demeanor. Especially for a hunting dog, they are great house companions.

But after Florida banned dog racing a couple years ago, the sport is all but dead. ‘Coursing’ in the UK is all but banned as well, so my point is the future of the breed is in jeopardy.

Nobody really hunts with these dogs anymore, so once the competitive outlets are gone ( coursing & track racing), the will be no reason left for breeders to invest time and money into the breed.

Maybe a handful of niche breeders will keep them alive to breed for show or something, but other wise I think it’s important to remember that when we talk about eliminating track racing, we are therefore talking about eliminating the breed from existence.

Sort of a catch 22 right? As distasteful as racing tracks can be, they also are the main reason the breed still exists. Personally I don’t want to see the breed go extinct. They are amazing dogs when you get to know them. It would also be ashamed to lose the bloodlines & the history, the centuries of breeding to create them.

I’m not necessarily trying to support track racing, but I don’t know what a good answer is.
Kinesis Advantage 2.

The idea of using Apple keyboards without wrist support is temporary hack.

I have changed countless mechanical and ergonomic keyboards with no success. The concept of using your thumbs for most repetitive combinations is just astonishingly effective.

As a side effect I remapped left super to control and right supper to meta on all my laptops, caps lock is escape.

But nothing can compare to comfort and speed that I can reach on Kinesis Advantage.

The key to success with this keyboard is to remap it by your standards and wishes, I have seen many people complain about using your thumbs or arrow keys, square brackets.

The power of this keyboard besides ergonomic design is in a remapping functionality and complementary software.

Rarely nowadays I can say that some product or service is changing my life drastically for good. But Advantage is one of those life changing products.

GMail's spam filter no longer seems to have any intelligence. It's just a slider. Mark the obvious "Car insurance- 15324" subject message spam, and you know for a fact that immediately a bunch of legitimate mail will start getting flagged as spam. Mark that stuff as "not spam" and now you're back to getting obvious spam in your inbox.
Same for me, i was interested until i saw it's subscription.
Making new players play together with cheaters for a long time sounds kind of bad too
In my case, the spam that manages to evade Gmail's filters contain an image as the body instead of text.

Fun fact: Back in 2002 ycombinator founder Paul Graham wrote an article on spam filtering. (See http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html ). I emailed him that his method can be defeated by sending an image of the text, as opposed to the text itself. PG replied and pointed me to this FAQ: http://www.paulgraham.com/spamfaq.html

In the FAQ there is an entry named "What if spammers sent their messages as images?" The answer indicates that is not going to be an issue, because there's still plenty of signals to go by.

Guess PG was wrong!
> This map is cool, but I'm still embarrassed to say I don't understand the concept of "indigenous" particularly well or why Europe, Africa, and Asia have so few indigenous people.

The difference is likely linguistic. When it comes to Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa, we have a tendency to talk about nation states, empires, kingdoms, or other political structures. When it comes to the Americas or Southern Africa, we have a tendency to talk about tribes that are pigeonholed into larger cultural groups based upon their similarities. In some cases, that may be fine in the sense that it differentiates how societies functioned. In other cases, it is used to trivialize the degree of development reached in the Southern Hemisphere and the Americas even though there is evidence of developed societies.

As an example of this, I have never heard of the indigenous people of the British Isles being referred to as tribal even though I have heard to indigenous being used to refer to the peoples who lived there prior to the various waves of invasion (e.g. Roman, Viking, and likely others).

If the government can file 'in rem' against the pile of cash, can you also file a habeas corpus motion on behalf of the pile of cash?

The entire idea of 'in rem' actions is absurd on the face of it, and is the kind of nonsense that causes people to lose faith in the justice system. There are often comments here that (correctly) castigate software engineer types as having too much of a game-playing 'gotcha' sense of how the law works - or ought to work - but "Department of Justice vs. $137,425 in US Currency" is exactly the same kind of too-tricky-by-half game-playing, only by the lawmakers.
It's not my job to prove anything. I am not the one making the claim masks work or lockdowns work. People who want to force society to comply with all this are the ones who need to offer substantial and overwhelming evidence that any of this works to a degree that justifies the immense social costs. That means way more than a few of cherry picked papers that say "masks work" (while ignoring ones that don't like the danish mask study).

I don't have to prove anything. It bothers me immensely that people think its the skeptics job to somehow prove that what we are doing doesn't work. That isn't how science works. Extraordinary claims (eg: lockdowns work to a degree that justifies their costs) require extraordinary evidence.

It’s usually interesting to find the context for these quotes. In this case the language is a bit obscure, but he seems to have been arguing that taxing both income and sales is a form of double taxation? [1]

This is in a note about a book by Antoine Destutt de Tracy, who was apparently a philosopher who coined the word “ideology.”

Anyway, I guess it’s repeated because it sounds good, but most people don’t care what Jefferson meant and might not agree with his point about double taxation.

I agree the airlines won't initially do that, but I worry that the government will co-opt their list. I feel this way about any blacklist not subject to transparent review by the judiciary or at least the legislature, the fact that this has to do with air travel just makes the already red flag a smidge redder.

They are relevant in a discussion that's about the data flow from when Google gets data. As a Googler, the distinction between the two might feel very different, but as a user, I don't care whose fault it is, or what's technically going on in the legal description of Google's corporate structure; I didn't even notice the distinction between the two conversations (and assumed you were having the one I mentioned) until you pointed it out.
The US won't get significantly better unless our electoral system is fixed. That won't happen unless one of the two viable parties makes that a major policy goal... so, never.
I think we're in agreement, mostly. One of the perennial debates is what is a unit? Is it a class, a module, a compilation unit, a library, a function? If it's a function, do we need to test every function? What about functions that only get used by our public interface but aren't our public interface? Sometimes it makes sense to test them, but often not. In the end I only write unit tests against the exported methods/functions of a class or module and consider the unit to be the class or module and its public interface, anything below that may get a test if its sufficiently complex, but often not because there's no need (it's exercised by the tests I'm already writing, or it's dead code).
What about groups which haven't been colonized in any significant way? What about non-indigenous groups which have been colonized? It seems pretty arbitrary.
It's a cut and paste from the linked support article, hardly my preferred mode of communication. Elsewhere in the thread I cut and paste from other content that's a little bit more plainspoken.

One thing to consider is how having a large amount of stocks allows you to borrow on margin and move other people's money around in ways the less wealthy cannot. I wonder if the aim here is to tax the power, not necessarily the wealth.

That sounds rather like what some people say about American beer: There's no such thing as American beer; there's stuff they call "beer" but it really isn't.

You could probably make a case that there isn't much of a unified Canadian culture, but rather a large number of Canadian cultures. The indigenous peoples of Canada clearly have their own cultures; so do the Quebecois and the Acadians. After that you start getting more into "imported cultures"; there are large British and American influences across the country but also large minority groups which -- especially in the prairies -- have have made contributions to local cultures.

It has been said that where the USA is a melting pot which turns immigrants into Americans, Canada is a mosaic in which every piece retains its original nature; immigrants are encouraged to retain their cultural practices rather than discarding them in the name of conforming to "Canadian" culture.
