In fact, infrastructure in your house may easily be already there. Remember that communication from Samsung many years ago, "If you really have something private to discuss, maybe don't do it in front of our televisions"?

But do not remain focussed on the literal "location": of course many law enforcement agencies will check the data which came from your devices, in case some crime worth the effort of detailed investigation (threshold to be defined) is to be carried out.

Two questions at least could be posed: extent of crime prevention and prevention of the abuse (in general, not focussing on Singapore). On the one hand, to have such pre-emptive surveillance, with all it brings, and still be mugged, burgled etc., means having the worst of both worlds. On the other (and upper, bigger, heavier) hand, not only the legal framework must be defined: considerations must be spent on all the broad security issues, the potential systemic faults - what if the next ruler is corrupt? What if a malicious party gains access to the data?
You can't really divorce economic incentives from governance. As is said, money makes the world go round. Behemoth sellers of shitty products don't want education. They want more uninformed consumers. It'd be nice if they were some platonic solid but instead they have a huge influence. Their large dicks swing even if they aren't very deliberate or malicious about it. It's just kinetics.

When I had linked it in August 2020, it mostly had results for issues related to localhost forwarding, so it made sense at the time. But linking a live search wasn't the best choice, I agree.

I think linking to a specific issue is more useful, like you say. I'll update the post.

I try not to use any libraries that were introduced less than 5-6 years ago. Thanks to this I don't experience much library churn and don't have to rewrite the same thing every few months. For example, I didn't pick up React until 2020. Let the kids play with their shiny toys if that's what they want.

Brenowitz, W. D., Zeki Al Hazzouri, A., Vittinghoff, E., Golden, S. H., Fitzpatrick, A. L., & Yaffe, K. (2021). Depressive Symptoms Imputed Across the Life Course Are Associated with Cognitive Impairment and Cognitive Decline. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 83(3), 1379–1389. https://doi.org/10.3233/JAD-210588

Methods: "Using a pooled study of 4 prospective cohorts (ages 20-89), we imputed adult life course depressive symptoms trajectories based on Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-10 (CESD-10) and calculated time-weighted averages for early adulthood (ages 20-49), mid-life (ages 50-69), and late-life (ages 70-89) for 6,122 older participants. Adjusted pooled logistic and mixed-effects models estimated associations of imputed depressive symptoms with two cognitive outcomes: cognitive impairment defined by established criteria and a composite cognitive score."
The backlight is blue in hue. It’s imperceptible to us because we look for colour differences. But if you compare the “white” of your iPhone screen to the “white” of a t-shirt in the sun you will notice that it’s still blue light.

Computer screens have no option to not emit blue light, all their light is a tinted blue hue.

This sounds stupid because _obviously_ screens emit colour! And they could just cut out the blue colour!? But the backlight is always emiting some amount of blue light.

Javascript for most of its life was essentially a DSL for the browser. That, in 2021, we're talking about build tools written in it, should give us pause for thought.

> "Why are my devops tools written in this browser DSL immature?"

Well, where to begin?
Big part of the issue is that it's quite hard for newbies to tell what is JS and what is the framework and what is a web standard.
>>> Of course, there are many practical matters that would have to be ironed out. For one, Facebook might be a US company, but its utility-like services are delivered to the entire globe, so there are real questions about what a publicly owned or regulated Facebook would actually look like — questions like “Which public?” or “Regulated by whom?”

>>>Avoiding mass censorship efforts doesn’t mean we’re powerless to do anything. There are clear changes that can be made to Facebook’s algorithms, design, central mission, and resourcing that would bring it closer to the true public service it claims to be than the nihilistic, profit-making juggernaut it operates like, and none of them would threaten our right to speak freely or mess with our ability to stay in touch with loved ones, organize events, or such platforms’ other useful features.

The author makes a couple of attempts to characterize Facebook as a "utility", and even provides a link [1] to eff.org as proof of that claim as though being a public service is enough to constitute being declared a utility in need of direct regulation.

The author also claims that Facebook is "deliberately designed to be addictive", which I concede is true. I'd like to further point out that HN is also addictive, and seems to have been designed with absolutely no interest in making it addictive. And lastly, I'd like to mention that the US government recently relaxed its laws concerning government funded propaganda[2].

So I have a couple of questions:

1. If government wants a social media utility, then why doesn't it attempt to buy or build one that it can more easily regulate/understand?

2. Is social media itself an addictive element in our lives?

3. Is the level of addiction similar in harm to that of television, YouTube, or news aggregation sites? How would you rate it?

4. How do you justify asking government to offer (potentially) addictive services as public utilities?

5. With respect to the deregulation of propaganda, should Facebook be held to a higher standard than our government?

And I think the article is largely correct even though I don't dread developing Javascript-based applications.

One of our Nuxt applications with default build configuration sometimes builds successfully and sometimes fails miserably for reasons not understood. So we just run the process until it succeeds. I would never tolerate this in Python or take it as lightly as I do here, but like a frog in hot water I've been conditioned to almost expect it or at least not get too bothered by it.

I think Javascript the language is fine. But the rest of ecosystem feels enormously creative, myopic and too often fragile.

On the one hand, yes; on the other hand, it’s kind of fun to watch, in real time, the same sort of linguistic shift that means that the word “orange” doesn’t begin with the letter n.
During the cold war both sides recorded everything because they realised that today's "unbreakable" encryption would be nothing in 10 years time. That's not quite so true anymore as Moores law is stumbling, but it's still a pretty cheap strategy, you just need a big pile of storage...
It took only 132 years to find this out. I hope that the cause of this current pandemic will be found out sooner.
I don't believe that is his argument at all.
If the standard is that you attach a copy of your message encrypted with an NSA-provided public key, and only the NSA has access to the private key, then being good at math won’t help Russia or China.

Obviously the NSA couldn’t get people to use such a standard but they managed to slip something like that into Dual_EC and had success in getting people to use it.

This sounds bad but mild shame helps keep a community working

Any time someone hits out with a pun or whatever comment someone will say "this isn't reddit" and the comment is made hard to read - over time I have to imagine that has helped keep it from becoming reddit

Of course I am also burying the lede a bit. Paid and dedicated (I think?) moderators is an absolute key factor too
It's a weird choice, yeah. I have to do most of my university work on Windows anyway so I'm not too worried about the telemetry.

Edge is the closest to a cross-platform "it just works" experience I've had. All bookmarks sync between my android phone, windows and Debian. Plus I don't have to keep messing with the about:config after a clean install to disable whatever new UI features or services Mozilla has introduced in the latest Firefox update.

My only complaint is that Edge doesn't always respect my choice of search engine, for example the new tab search field at least used to redirect everything to Bing. But these can be worked around for now with relatively little effort.

It's funny how this level of scrutinization only applies to journalists who are critical of US/NATO foreign policy of neocolonialism and US empire expansionism & hegemony, but never to organizations like BBC, CNN, NYT who have been exposed to churn out some of the biggest lies, especially against US propaganda targets.
Dual_EC_DRBG is bad because someone with access to Junipers source repos was able to backdoor their implementation? Do you realise how preposterous that sounds?

Have you seen what real life bugdoors look like?
> They aren’t wrong; taking the artisan out of fabrication leaves the musician as the sole artistic variable in instrument’s sonic output.

So? What if the artist wants to produce music where they are "the sole artistic variable in instrument’s sonic output"?

Seems perfectly legitimate to me. Sure, many artists may be known for their use of some particular instrument, but I bet a vanishingly small percentage (or rather, promilleage, or PPM-age) goes to a concert to listen to "the combination of Famooze Artizte and his Particular Instrument" -- almost everyone is there for mr Artizte, period. Hardly anyone gives a fuck about the manufacturers of van Goghs paints and brushes either; the claim is as ridiculous as those demanding artistic recognition for his works.

And I betcha absolutely nobody drags friends and family to a school recital to listen to "the combination of my child and whatever particular instrument they're playing". Sometimes -- i.e, in the absolutely overwhelming majority of cases -- it really is all about the artist.

[EDIT:] And then I read the rest of your comment, which seems to mostly agree with what I'm saying. :-) But I'll let the above stand, because I still think even the little credit you gave them in my quote is misplaced. (And judging from the article, these people seem to be at most half "artisans", but mostly pretentious wankers.) [/EDIT]

Foveate. That's a new verb to me. From the context I take it to mean to direct the subject of one's visual attention to something else other than what one is consciously trying too. I guess it's like ethmoidating a perfume, or palatatating the mouthfeel of a fine wine, or phalangating rough textures.

Glad to see the language is still alive.
Innuendo? It's public knowledge that the author has competing interests. A Bayesian approach to the situation demands consideration of the possibility that the author is corrupt.
It depends, if you switch to Emacs you could get proficient with Emacs Lisp. If you are used to think with objects, thinking with data + functions will change the way you solve problems. Finally you could use a modern Lisp like Clojure for a small project at work or your next job.

Besides that, the history of Lisps is fascinating, specially Lisp machines.

How to build a free plan in Laravel Spark
If you move your physical connection, renumbering seems totally reasonable (they need to handle internal routing). Otherwise, I see no reason the assigned address shouldn't be static, other than money extraction and perhaps privacy.
Why not generalise SQL with classes, loops (, etc.) and truly single-language the world? And an SQL configuration language ("UPDATE aws.ec2.config ...") ?

Typescript is a testament to the extreme amount of work needed to normalize a scrappy browser-lang for robust use.

The issue is precisely that a community of "SQL developers" are not going to build you robust tools, merely by having generalised SQL. And likewise, a community of browser developers aren't going to either.

Single-languaging down to effectively a DSL produces a particular type of community (, language, domain of competence, ...), which is exactly what OP is complaining about.
I've noticed the same. Partly, the need to maintain a complete mental model is obviated by the fast-iterating IDE (ie. a try-it-and-see approach) and comments. Haven't tried this frontend yet but it seems a good match to the structure of abstraction.
That policy never existed.
Those are strong measures — unless you compare to last year's measures. It's gentle stuff compared to closing the schools.

It's still relevant because Western masses still think manipulation of social media sites is exclusive to US adversaries like Russia and China despite the fact that US and other neocolonialists use way more sophisticated techniques of manipulation of the public by the usage of technology.

Not really.. i mean to sites whose owners set them up with cloudflare... sure but cdns aren't knew. Akamai,fastly,etc... are a thing. But it's not that different than compromising could provider or server hosting providers.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of dragnet, it is to identify targets of interest. Decrypting content is not needed, i mean it is desirable but even with sni encryption and DoH it is possible to identify targets of interest. Once identified,from what I have heard, they target your device or a common server targets of interest use, compromising those allows them to see much more than decrypted TLS.

Since we are speculating, what makes you so sure submarine cable tapping spies that can compromise cloudflare (or coerce) cannot do the same with say... Let'sEncrypt's root signing keys? They don't even have to mess with CT logs that way. Unless you are sayinf the handful of private keys used to encrypt most TLS traffic are impossible to compromise, even with nation state resources.
It also gets a lot of emphasis because armchair ui architects think it’s cool to show they know this ‘big word’.
You are no longer allowed to be a 10x in public. In some OSS projects you have to repeatedly humiliate yourself so the gang of 0.5x programmers running the show don't stage a struggle session.

I think the big difference with JS is that if you're doing just about anything in Web Dev these days, you MUST use JS (with a few exceptions).

Don't like PHP? Try Python. Why not Go, Scala or Rust? Don't like Ruby? Move to Elixir (no really, do it! you won't regret it)

But with JS you're stuck with JS - at least Typescript makes things a bit more sane.

So until the browser monopoly ends and something supplants JS as one of the only ways to make a dynamic website, it will have to take the heat.

The best experience I've encountered is with LiveView in the Elixir/Phoenix world. It still needs JS for the plumbing (websockets) but I no longer have to write JS. Happy days!
Maybe you're mixing this up with Basecamp?
When I got my first shot of AstraZeneca/Oxford in Germany the doctor at the vaccination center told me that there was no downside to delaying the second shot because a longer delay would likely produce a greater immunity. The official recommendation was eight weeks.

When the regulating body permitted cross-vaccinations with mRNA vaccines for people already vaccinated with Astra the recommendation for cross-vaccinations was only four weeks and I ended up waiting a little over five instead of eight.

The German government is also shutting down the free testing centers (which means unvaccinated people will have to pay upwards of €25 out of pocket or get a PCR test which costs upward of €80 and can take 24-48 hours for a result. Additionally politicians have been talking about excluding unvaccinated (or not fully vaccinated) people from benefits like paid sick leave during quarantine.

All in all these measures seem to be designed to rush the population through vaccination even if it means having to do boosters (which have already been greenlit for people aged 70+ or vaccinated with the single-dose J&J vaccine) and punishing the unvaccinated to force them into compliance.

Delaying your second shot by up to four months would not only have been unthinkable in Germany, it would have been framed as carelessness, laziness and negligence. The government really doubled down on framing COVID as a personal responsibility issue and overpromised "freedom" through vaccination ("restoring civil liberties") while indiscriminately punishing the unwilling.
I've run across so many software projects named singularity that at this point it's a trope.
Typescript, esbuild and preact are hardly boring, since most JS dev don't even have tried it yet.

React is just starting to become "boring", and I mean that in the JS sense of the world. Because it's lifetime would be considered "modern" and any other language.
You'd hope so.

There's also the CJEU case of Ninetendo v PC Box & 9 Net (C-355/12), which sets out circumstances where it's lawful to sell a device which circumvents DRM.

Alas in that case, the bar is set too high: it's not enough for there to be legitimate reasons to break the DRM; that has to be weighed against the 'rights' of copyright holders.
I think this is a smart heuristic if you optimize for stability. Incidentally, you started to learn React when it's API's got drastically simplified over the previous class based approach. You joined at the right time so to speak.

But I want to add that play isn't just for kids. For me, it is an important part of my life and work. Deliberate, free play gets you in a different mode, it's fun and worth doing without some external reward. Does it have to be new, "shiny" toys? Not at all! That's the nice thing about it.
I find it amusing that Facebook is currently under attack by the media (broadly defined) for manipulating people, influencing elections, increasing polarization, harming its users etc. Yet that is exactly what the media has done for centuries. Where are the congressional sessions for the CEOs of CNN, Fox, and other legacy media brands?

It looks to me like an old industry is scared of the new one eating its lunch. The medium is the message and in this case, the medium is the mainstream media.

Absolutely agreed, morally it's the right decision.

I was just focusing on the law because copyright expansionists have a lot of institutional capture, or at least the ear of legislators.
