The use of force generally leaves evidence of its use, however. If the government cuts the door off your safe, and doesn't have a warrant to conduct that search, then the facts will speak for themselves when you avail yourself of your rights - e.g. to have evidence from an unlawful search suppressed in court and the subsequent civil rights lawsuit.

This is where the analogy breaks down - introducing backdoors and passkeys into digital security doesn't create the same trail in the physical world.

The better analogy would be - imagine that the government insisted that all locks be approved by the government, on the understanding that those locks would have master keys that the government owned. They would be able to come to a bank during the night, unlock the front door, the vault, and your safe deposit box; or come into your home when you were at work, unlock your filing cabinet and look at your records.

You would have to trust that government employees who had access to the master keys would only use them for legitimate purposes, and when authorized to do so. You would have to trust that the government could secure those keys at all times so they never fell into the wrong hands, and that no unauthorized duplicates would be made.

You would have to do all those things bearing in mind that the government regularly loses such master keys, has employees that exceed their authority, misuse government resources, demonstrate poor custody practices, and so on.

It doesn't seem like a good bet to me.

EDIT: oh yes, and I forgot to mention there's a whole bunch of other bad actors out there who know how to buy a government-approved lock, take it apart, and are highly motivated to make their own master keys.

I can see Illustrator and Photoshop running on a browser but I doubt we'll see After Effects and Premiere on WASM any time soon.

IMO the solution will probably be a combination of browser based UI and cloud based processing. The drawback of this approach is that the server would need to host the project files.

Reddit AMA (3yrs ago) and HN discussion on it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18397380
> for encryption fans, I've been wondering for a long time now: why would you trust ANY 3rd party with your so sensitive data instead of running your own service? Are you not aware of OMEMO for XMPP?

we ran our own XMPP server for over 10 years using the "off the record" plugin for end to end encryption. Development seem to basically stop on open chat clients a few years ago and everything started getting crufty. (I see Pidgin dev has apparently picked back up again to some extent, as has Adium, to a much lesser extent).

"off the record" mostly worked ok, between Pidgin users, but failed with other clients.

A couple of OMEMO plugins came along but making them work (and keeping them working) was a continual drain - and we're only a small team with only 2 operating systems (Linux and OSX)!

My hunch is that enough people just moved to things like Whatsapp and Slack etc that developers were no longer using chat clients they could hack on. People stopped being able to scratch their itches.

Not to mention lack of any/decent XMPP client support for syncing histories between multiple clients, or handling inline images and things. All that modern stuff people expect.

Things like Mattersmost tried to fit in here but we just didn't get along with them.

Eventually Element/Matrix matured enough and while it was far from perfect, it worked and we sadly finally gave up on XMPP.
Agreed. I feel like a big part of the disconnect between Ruby/Rails enthusiasts and Ruby/Rails detractors comes down to what kinds of projects are being worked on. (This is a frequent theme in HN discussions of various technologies, not just Ruby/Rails.) For scrappy MVP's, where the most important thing is to quickly find product fit, Rails is often a great choice.

The problem comes when that codebase starts to mature: you look up one day and realize that it's no longer just you working in the codebase. The lack of language-level documentation makes it difficult to onboard new members to the team. A new developer is inspecting a method they're tasked with refactoring. It accepts an argument named "input". What the hell is an input? Is it a hash? Is it a class instance? Both? Something else entirely? Idiomatic Ruby/Rails makes it quite hard to intuit expected inputs/outputs. (Ironically the community also vocally disavows the use of comments, which would ameliorate that problem somewhat.)

Meanwhile, "Undefined method `blah` on nil:NilClass" errors start to litter your logs to the point that developers become numb to them. Invariant violations that should have been caught upstream, at their point of inception, sneak all over your runtime and you waste valuable employee hours trying to identify their true source.

And Ruby's poor story around async i/o ties your hands as your traffic patterns begin to require a more sophisticated request processing pattern than "receive request, block thread, return response." Phrases like "worker saturation" and "let's make it an async job" start to dominate your engineering retrospectives.

These are just a few of the sharp edges that come from trying to scale Ruby. You may point to solutions to them, but they don't compare in elegance to working in a language that obviate those problems in the first place. And while it's very easy to start a project in Ruby and gain a quick initial burst of momentum, it's commensurately difficult to switch to a more mature language+framework when you realize that your engineering org is suffering from Ruby/Rails shortcomings.

This is not a blanket indictment of Ruby/Rails -- just an acknowledgement that different languages and frameworks are better suited to certain types of problems. In my opinion, Ruby/Rails are very well suited for small projects with few maintainers, where the total surface area of the domain model is pretty small. Or quick MVP's where you have to deliver next week or die. But the dynamic duo are not well suited to the kinds of problems that start to emerge as those MVP's scale up in complexity/LOC/number of maintainers. It's a bit of a catch 22.

People will point to the big companies running Ruby/Rails. But from having worked at one of them (Shopify), I can say that we were spending an inordinate amount of time trying to plaster over their shortcomings; I'd imagine this is also true of the other big companies that run on the same stack.
Great, another “conservatives are oppressed” rant. He even says that not what it is, but it is. Look, if you use some particular language that other people find offensive, even if you didn’t mean it that way, just apologize. It’s a meme, but it’s also true: we live in a society and your actions can affect other people in ways you didn’t intend.

There are lots of little bits of subtle characterization and character-arc work in it to pick up on, though some of them require some connecting-the-dots and lateral thinking. Which, in a way, lets you, the viewer, play the role of a Dune character, picking out little hints and signs and extracting meaning.

This isn't to defend the movie if people find that this doesn't work for them (it may, indeed, be a failed effort—I don't know, I can't view it as a version of me who hasn't read the book and seen the two previous screen adaptations) but it does have a lot of character-building, much of it's just blink-and-you'll-miss-it or requires the viewer to take an extra step or two in their head to put it together.

I doubt we'll lose the magnetic compass tbh... but the idea is that we would use true north for everything. If you needed to use your magnetic compass because your GPS is INOP you'd just apply the appropriate declination + compass card correction then.

In practice, most GA pilots have at least a VFR GPS on the plane and the majority fly with iPads w/ Foreflight now. You put one of those window-mounted ADS-B receivers and you even get traffic alerts and <1m accuracy. For IFR, pretty much all approaches are VNAV and use GPS now anyways.
I really enjoyed reading the first post about how you went about it. Impressive.
"They wanted to expand surveillance while telling us they were protecting us."

The issue is that they (i.e. government) have always done this. I'm only 35, but I remember this being very clear immediately after 9/11. You just say the boogeyman is terrorism, and that is used to justify end-runs around the constitution via the "PATRIOT" Act, etc. etc. Before terrorism, the excuse was communism. Maybe I'm just cynical now or read too much "1984" as a teenager, but I feel like there will always be a new boogeyman that they use to justify more authority, more powers, and all the while saying it's for our own good and to 'protect' us.
It is a thing of beauty. "The DMCA says you aren't allowed to circumvent our attack on a central pillar of the modern nation state."
My opinion. Private tutors are much cheaper then college.

During covid we made use of them for elementary age kids since they were falling behind on every subject.

The effectiveness was drastic. So much so that we stopped because they got so far ahead of the class.

Figure at 20,000 a year will cover a lot of private lessons with experts in most fields.

"Maybe he doesn't want to have to create an account." - oooff, this this home hard. I tried to print something the other day here at home and I couldn't because I had to log into my printer's software. I couldn't remember my password, or even the email address I used to set it up. What should have been a very simply file -> print turned into a long process of registering a new account, password doesn't meet complexity rules, verify your account, sign back in, etc... to print a one page thing while I was in a hurry.

Edit: If anybody from printers (specifically HP) is reading this. Stop. Just stop.
Generally speaking HN is quite anti Obj-C ( or even anything C, C++, basically the whole C family ). They think of it a as relics of the past. The future has to be Rust or Swift.

I often wonder what if Apple continue to improve Obj-C instead of Swift.

I really like Alan Kays's metaphor. Instead of reinventing the wheel ( which isn't so bad ), more often than not in technology they reinvent the flat tire.

There is also an incentivization problem here. For every person that they get onboard, “Worldcoin will allow everyone to claim a free share of it.” That share is worth $0.07 in US dollars today. If I don't think it's worth 7 cents to produce my iris data, then the best strategy is to wait until the coin goes up to my price point before entering that market. It makes the most sense to hold off until the coin hits $65,000 US before getting the "free share" and immediately converting it into another currency.
i can see it now. this will be my next interview question for html/css/js role on front-end. and when i ask why is this important? they will say "Tesla does it"
That's why there shouldn't be any "open" or "closed" state.

And yeah, the GP is calling for a forum. Bug reports, feature requests, and interface issues are a topic of discussion first, and a work item as a distant second.

There is some value in once you identify something as a bug to be fixed or an impromevent to be made, to tag the discussion saying if the work is in progress or done, and what release has it complete. None of those tags invalidate the discussion, and it's not realistic to expect all items to have a tag like this.
There are a lot of other sites too. WifiTribe offers roughly the same (but w/ a 500$/year fee). Then there a sites like Nomadlist where you can find informations about different countries and cities (cost of living, network speed, safety, racism, ...) but where you have to handle the planning yourself.

I started during Fallen Empires and quit shortly after Planeshift, though I never played competitively. My group of friends had just a few house rules for deck building: Minimum 60 cards, no more than 4 of any card that wasn't a basic land, and no Circles of Protection. Proxy cards were allowed, but only if you could prove you had an original.

In all the years I played, I never really learned what "Type 1" and "Type 2" deck building rules were. I basically only played during lunch in high school.
"Right" and "wrong" can often be quite an over-simplification as well as cultural (among other things)...

But I also clarified things in a sibling comment.
That's not part of the security guarantee; The message was encrypted from user-controlled end to user-controlled end. It's neither Signal nor Element's fault that your conversation partner has decided to move conversations un-encrypted afterward. That was always allowed.
It's always fun when someone thinks they are encrypting something when they Base64 "Encode" it. "Is it encrypted?" "Yes, it's encrypted using Base64!" Facepalm
Just in case it's not clear: when Swedes talk about 4 weeks of vacation, they also count the weekend that they have off anyway, so 15 days = 3 weeks and 20 days = 4 weeks
The present subscription model and the prospect of where an entirely web-based equivalent will lead.

Also, most of the people I know who use Creative Suite have absolutely zero need for any of the recent multi-user / social/web-based functionality. I've never in my twenty-plus years in design needed it and see a decreasing likelihood I would in future either.

I appreciate that ages me and marks me as an old fogey, but.. well, all for the best if competition gets to the point where I can go back to buying single releases every n years, at my leisure, again.

The distinction between "public" and "private" is gray and messy when it comes to corporate social media platforms. Is anything really private? How do you send a message to someone in Messenger? You're not sending the HTTP request to person X. You're sending it to Facebook with metadata that says "please make this visible to person X and consider it private". Then Facebook keeps the message and decides whether or not to publish it onward to person X, and whether or not to display it to anyone else (internally, externally, in logs, etc.). It's not like a package that gets sent over to person X's house. It stays on Facebook's property at all times.

When you post something to "your" feed, you're sending it to Facebook with metadata that says "please post this on my wall" or whatever.

To strain an analog analogy, this is not like the telephone or even the post office, where you hand them something or send out voice packets and they just look at the recipient and forward it on to the actual person. Everything you send is sent to Facebook and kept at Facebook.

Replace "Facebook" above with any social media platform or cloud service. They're fundamentally the same. I don't consider iCloud photos private. You're sending your content to Apple, not putting it in some safe that you alone control.

You can’t establish causation in an observational study like this one. You’d have to conduct an experiment to do that, and people don’t usually want to leave their careers up to double-blind. There’s still value in measuring the correlation.

However, it accounts for things like dropout status, so I don’t think your hypothesis fits the data.
I had assumed it was because people are pickier about look and feel for customer facing stuff than these platforms can support, but the point about auth is interesting.
