I just have a really hard time understanding who this is targeting. If you're on average more willing to sacrifice privacy over ease of use, you're very likely not using Signal or Matrix anyway. So if you're not, but you're using both WhatsApp and Telegram, how is using two apps a big enough problem to set up a third one?

Even if we disregard that, I can honestly say that I don't think using four separate apps is a problem. I don't even think using ten different apps is a problem, because it's mostly transparent to the user anyway. You get (configurable) notifications from all of them when you need to care about something, and the "sharing" feature on both iOS and Android these days is normally smart enough to figure out who, or at least which app, you want to share something to -- so for me this "multi app confusion" is already pretty well solved on an OS level, at least on mobile.
Nitpicking, but the Spanish Jews fled to other parts of Europe (and Anatolia, which is indeed in Asia and not in Europe), other parts of Europe which were quite happy to accept them. I'm talking of course about the Ottoman sultans. Thessaloniki (a European city) became the Sephardic Jews' cultural capital, so to speak (the same as Vilnius, Warsaw or Lviv were for Ashkenazi Jews) but of course that all tragically disappeared once the Germans got hold of the city in WW2.

Otherwise, do you happen to know of any book (written in English, Spanish or even French) that talks at a reasonable length about the lasting cultural influences of the Arab society and culture on the Spanish society and culture after 1600? (i.e. after the Mozarabs were forced to leave). I'd imagine that in the same way the Arab cuisine had a lasting influence on parts of the Spanish cuisine the same (must of) happened to Arab laws that used to be in place in what is now Spain, Arab popular traditions and even the Arab language itself.
You don't know that when you message someone on Signal it's for their eyes only.

What you know is that unless their device is compromised, it is up to them to decide who can read the messages that you send to them.

Thus the situation with the bridge is not in reality different from the situation now.
> My brain keeps telling me that the words I would search for would show up in the content even if they're used in a template.

Thats exactly how I read the description of the original problem. The issue template says something like "What text appears in the 'Current Status' pop-up?", and so then it becomes difficult to search for issues related to the "Current Status" pop-up not appearing at all, because searching for it will return all issues.

If there is a drive towards more end to end private messaging, I'm OK with that. But I wouldn't call that "social networks"; in my mind there is a huge difference between an encrypted end-to-end message between two users, an encrypted message which is sent out to a large group of users, and a public post.

You can make an end-to-end message between two users perfectly secure, to the limits of engineering and the security hygine of the two users. No problem there. If you have an encrypted message sent out to a group of users, as the group of users gets larger and larger, it's more likely that one of those users might be an informant to law enforcement, or will be sloppy with their message hygine, so that after they get arrested invading the capitol on January 6th (for example), law enforcement gets access to all of their information on their phone with the pin code 1234. Still no problem as far as I'm concerned. Criminals tend to be stupid, and that's good from a societal point of view.

Public posts are a different story altogether, because social networks have an economic incentive to promote "engagement". And if that engagement happens to emphasize messages that incite hate, or anger, or causes people to think that vaccines contain 5G modems, or whatever, hey, that's just good for shareholders, and in the captalist system, shareholder value (especially VC value, for startups) is the highest good, right? Well, I have some real concerns about about that. I think that corporations which are prioritizing engagement uber ales, even if that causes social harm, should be potentially regulated.

And that's why it is quite possible for someone (like me) to believe that end to end encryption should be allowed, and promoted, even if it gives the FBI hives --- and at the same time, argue that public posts should be highly monitored from the perpsective of trying to get insight to whether the amplification alogirhtms might be doing something unhealthy for our society's information ecosystem.
True, VCs really hate Bitcoin. They can't control it, it doesn't give them data the rest of us can't already see, they can't roll out software updates, it's too late for early phase mining.

When VCs hate it, it means it really, really good.
Do they also host the WhatsApp native instance (Android VM)? That'd be great for those using Pinephones who still want easy access to WA. Otherwise the WA bridge would only work if you run a client yourself.

By default, "Siri and Search" are enabled to scan and learn from on-device content in every app, even if iCloud is disabled.

To opt-out, the user must manually go through every app's Settings and disable multiple radio button defaults per app.

Apple Configurator needs to allow device-wide opt-out of search indexing and harvesting of photos and app data, especially when Siri itself is disabled in Configurator.

Ingenuity Easter Egg
Changes in individual life expectancy and number of expected deaths per year are dual quantities. Talking about either one is fine. That said, you’re right that it’s not actually 0.0001, but probably closer to 0.004. So if I live for 80 years I’m giving up maybe 4 months of EL. Still an easy trade.
While I agree the elites are upset about losing power, there absolutely are issues of principle here.

There is such a thing as legitimate authority.

For example - there are people who do actual science, and other people who actually can read scientific papers and make assessments, there are people who have legitimate basic understanding of science, relationships with scientists, and consistently communicate reasonable information about that, as it relates to our world.

And there are people who make stuff up.

And very influential actors who will use a system without information integrity to their advantage.

These people wield enormous power and fundamentally shape outcomes for everyone.

Both the Truth, and the Public Good matter. While the later is more ambiguous, it's also material.

The question the becomes - how do we allow yahoos in their basements to say anything they want publicly (i.e. aliens invented COVID, the vaccine will kill you), how do we allow legitimate detractors to question classical authority (i.e. ivermectin might work), how do we try to unbias information when it's politically contentious (i.e. mask policies), how do we allow politicians to speak their minds, but to not destroy their communities with irrational or completely irresponsible information (i.e. 'the vaccine isn't safe, you don't need masks, just eat healthy )'.

I'm afraid we don't have the answers, but maybe some degree of 'proportional oversight' on the most public bits of information might be reasonable i.e. statements about the vaccine, when they reach a certain threshold of popularity, must have references to actual studies, or something along those lines.

The only reason to lock things would be because your userbase can't be trusted to behave responsibly—which, granted, is exactly the expectation of the average GitHub user.

In a well-run project, the bugtracker is part of the project's digital memory. This means that the appropriate thing is to cross-link the new bug and the old bug. Not doing so—or being unable to do so because the original bug was locked—makes triage and archaeology needlessly difficult. Say hello to selection pressure: you drive away the most valuable collaborators and are left with the ones that you're spending all your time trying to protect yourself against.

The screenwriter seems to be under the impression that running a DOS prompt under XP will protect him from having his script leaking, which is obviously not true if the computer is itself connected to the internet.

I'd be interested in a paired device to interrupt the energy source to the stove. If danger is imminent and the operator hasn't responded in a certain timeframe, a connected valve would turn the gas supply off or a switch would trigger the electricity to turn off.

Growing up we had a sensor in the oven go out, causing the cookies to catch on fire inside the oven. We also had a control board on a Whirlpool dishwasher start smoking ~15 years ago. There was a class action lawsuit against Whirlpool, but we didn't have any documentation that showed the model and serial number of the unit, so we couldn't get the typical "$20 credit for your next appliance purchase" or whatever the compensation was.

In both cases, flipping the electricity off at the breaker prevented further damage.
Searching for Mr. X
> I'm trying to imagine any computer that would have coped with my IFR search and rescue flight last week. Non-standard requests and things that can't be seen by ATC affect things a lot. One other silly small example that feels complicated was requesting a visual approach but having to wait for a vector because there was one exactly-airport-shaped cloud in the way.

I don't pretend to know much about aircraft control, but my understanding is that controllers generally are hopping between several planes in quick succession and they follow a strict subset of English when communicating with pilots. So, I'd be surprised if the task required advanced reasoning skills that would be impossible recreate in an algorithm.

> I think pilots get a lot of situational awareness as well from listening to the common frequency.

That seems like it could be solved in other ways though. For instance, the airport could publish the relevant information into a data stream and broadcast it to air traffic.

It could be displayed on a screen within the cockpit. The cockpit could also have a computer that read certain information aloud to the pilots to provide important information without them needing to look at the screen. Furthermore, airports could broadcast the same alerts on the old analogue radio channels to legacy aircraft.
A hundred times is not that much except for really cold code paths. It’s probably in the billions if not more and I have to imagine that software level effects typically swamp HW-level effects here. That’s why you see software typically having a performance deviation no greater than ~5-10% unless you’re running microbenchmarks.

Jetson. The Star Manned Quadcopter Is Here Claiming Everyone Is a Pilot
Drones or quadcopters have been around for a while.

Jetson, a Swedish company, has just launched the first commercially available manned drones and they have already sold out for 2022.

Sure and maybe that slows people down a bit, but the second device they get their hands on they’ll be smarter. This isn’t a new issue, look at video games, look at blu ray and hd dvd, security against a sophisticated attacker with physical access is almost impossible. It’s rare for video games to last 1 week before being cracked, and that’s not even for something important.
in the specific context of living off-grid, heat pumps make great sense because the amount of electrical energy put in is a fraction of the amount of heat energy moved. This is the crux of the cost argument - electricity is expensive whether from the grid or from your own sources. The original point was that electricity is wasteful for heating. It is not.

Your numbers for grid efficiency are also way off. Hydro and nuclear to name just two, are much more efficient than that and 40% efficiency numbers are in the realm of possibility where the grid is primarily coal-based. Which most of north america and europe are not.

> But unchecked ability to mint any number of tokens by anyone for any artwork makes them pretty fungible to me. They aren't any more non-fungible than artwork replicas in a gift shop (sure, there's a warehouse full of replicas, but your copy is yours only!)

A couple of notes:

- 'by anyone for any artwork' is a source of confusion. The only that matters is legitimacy. There is only one Cryptopunk #1234, and only one XCOPY NGMI. Anyone else can "mint" a token claiming to represent that XCOPY work, but short of fraud, people will not treat it as the original one.

- Some artists do mint multi-edition pieces, i.e. an "edition of 30". These are then basically 30 fungible pieces, because for the most part people do not care which one you have; there may be a premium paid for edition 1, or something that a celebrity owned before, but then the same thing might be true for a giftshop replica that used to be in the Oval Office.

- It's not super helpful to think about fungible/non-fungible as a binary. "Floor" Cryptopunks are sometimes treated as fungible-like, when people for example put them into pools where you can get price exposure by owning a share of the pool.

> Immutability shouldn't depend on the use of IPFS. It could be enforced by including a hash of the image file on the blockchain.

Again, some notes:

- An IPFS url essentially is the hash of the file contents; ergo, an NFT using ipfs urls does contain the hash of the file. Some NFTs link to a metadata JSON file first, but that just makes it a chain of hashes. Blockchain contains hash of JSON -> JSON contains hash of file.

- The Cryptopunks, one of the original NFT experiments, did exactly what you said: It added a hash of the image files into the contract. It's an excellent method and more was never required. Or corollary here is that NFT critics being concerned about the image files disappearing, because it's just a URL, is somewhat misguided; sure, someone will have to host the image somewhere, but think of the URL has a helpful tool to make it easier to build generic display clients; not something essential to the NFT.

> Why is this not required and enforced is baffling to me. Inclusion of a perceptual hash would also help with production of duplicates. I guess smart contracts aren't smart enough to implement any of this?

What if an artist wants to produce duplicates? What about that whole world of dynamic NFTs, where the visual representation is supposed to change? What if two artists both want to mint a conceptual art project that is represented by very similar empty squares? What about artworks that are HTML files, or include audio? What about Mitchell F. Chan's Immaterial Zones, which have no representation? What if I steal an image from an artists Instagram and then "mint" it, as a griefer? What would be the point of any of this if there are multiple blockchains?
Analogies are terribly leaky abstractions: a camera set up to watch cars on a busy highway can absolutely draw conclusions, doubly so if there are multiple networked cameras, and if the camera can see a license plate it's game over.

A more realistic analogy would be "a camera monitors a busy road where all cars are replaced by identical black cubes with no windows, and a 256-bit license plate whose value is set entirely locally, is not known to anyone but the occupant of the car, and changes unpredictably on the hour". Can you track a car in this world? Sure, but it would require significant data collection and analysis and would almost always end up probabilistic at best.

Is this analogy useful? You decide. No, it is divorced from observable reality. Yes, because it avoids misunderstandings like "you didn't intend for your analogy to include license plate scanners but your audience assumed it possible".

How do "we" this? How do "we" that? Who determines what constitutes the group of "we"? Power to censor inevitably, invariably, and irreversibly gets used to simple deceive and propagandize people in favor of what the censor wants. Safety is no excuse either --- every tyranny begins with the excuse that unusual powers are necessitated by some emergency.

There is no such thing as "irresponsible information". I reject the entire concept. There are only competing truth claims, and some nebulous "we" made up of journalists and tech activists has no more legitimate basis for policing speech than anyone else. There is no "legitimate authority" over people's minds.

You're right here that there is an issue of principle underlying the double standard: the principle is that some people think that they ought to control what other people thing, ostensibly for their own good. I wish they would at least be open about this principle.
