I wouldn't be surprised if the Saudis have access to the root signing certificates themselves. They wouldn't have to put new certificates in computers' trust stores, as computers would ship from manufacturers already trusting certificates that were signed with those root signing certificates.

I suspect their dataset was direct link dislikes. I.e. people who arrived at YouTube from another site at a specific video who dislike the video. That's the characteristic of a coordinated dislike campaign.

> the feature feeling useless, as even if you dislike, you might thing that you click will worth nothing as no one will see it

That was exactly the point. They didn't want the attack mobs seeing the fruits of their labor, making it feel useless, making fewer people mob.
Rights are restrictions people have placed on the government or has imposed on itself, as enumerated in say, a charter or constitution. These are not gifts from the government as list of things you can do, but a list of things they can’t do. Bestowed on birth, and infringed upon only when necessary as agreed upon by the people for reasons.

Privileges are features that may be taken for granted as rights but are not enumerated protections. You have no right to drive, it’s a privilege that we all agree is handy.

I don’t think you are playing with semantics, but this is not a difficult concept.

GP makes a completely baseless claim that you don’t have “full rights” until someone says you do. They are talking about privledges.

That whole notion of "image storage for pedophiles" is deeply stupid and fundamentally illiterate. It is like calling a bank's safe deposit box used to store sealed envelopes "a child porn sanctuary".

When dealing with demagogues it is time to go on the offense - there is a reason why McCarthy was damned by the line "Have you no decency?!"
It certainly seems clunky, but you could potentially use something like Bluestacks as a pseudo phone and install Authenticator under it. That wouldn't work for push though (like Duo).
I believe you are mistaken, and the NCC group analysis makes it quite clear that the locally-stored backup key is not the same as the "export key": the export key is the encrypted version of the local backup key. WhatsApp servers only have access to the export key, not the local backup key. The fact that you could extract the local backup key with physical access to your device and root privileges does not mean that the key is stored remotely in plaintext.
> what if you hit the end of your range whilst the deficit is still getting worse?

You, the consumer, can override it. You get to decide between donning a sweater or paying more. Isn't that objectively better than some bureaucrat simply turning off the power to your neighborhood (rolling blackouts)?
I don't think builtin compression is necessary, but it would be better if the CLI supported it similarly to tar.

Compressing a 57.5 MB .hop archive with `gzip -c` returns an 11.7 MB file. This is a similar compression ratio as tar -> tar.gz

Compression is great for sending files over the network, but for fast reads, it might be undesirable

It depends on one's preferences and circumstances. I got a new M1 MacBook recently and I took my time setting it up from scratch.

A few years ago, I had my MacBook stolen. I was up and running within a few hours after getting a new Mac and restoring from my Time Capsule. Dealing with the aftermath of a car break-in (thanks San Francisco!) and a new computer at the same time was going to be a bit much for me.

View once media is always susceptible to this problem. I can always put a capture card between my screen and the device or use a vm - or just take a picture using a second device.

Likewise touching file storage makes sense, the media files have to sit somewhere. Any vaguely modern android phone has full disk encryption, so it's only apps with global filesystem access that present a threat.
> What competitor is overtaking them? My understanding is that you can get any electric car you want, except a Tesla. That means people aren't buying the competitors vehicles. The competitors don't have demand

The company this story is about, Rivian, only started deliveries in the past few weeks and has delivered a negligible amount so far (a few hundred). They obviously intend to scale quickly, and they are hardly Tesla's only relatively new competition. It'll probably take a few years to see how the market shakes out.

From the talk by the Caltech professor leading LIGO, the theory was good on paper but the engineering problems were very tough. The platform to make measurement has to be absolutely still. But the Earth always has some movements due to seismic activities. For years they just couldn't get the passive vibration isolation tech stable enough for the measurement to work. The project was almost canceled. Finally they went back to the drawing board and partnered with some companies to build new active vibration isolation technologies. It took years to get it working.

Their active vibration isolation technology is insanely good. It basically detects tiny seismic movement of the Earth far away and actively compensates the stable platform. This is one instance of scientific project spawning off new technologies, which will have many other uses in the future.
All of those use cases I mentioned required extensions, though. CD-R, slide scanner, all that stuff usually wanted extensions.
There was the year I was working for a startup in LA, spending a week on the west coast and the rest of the month at home in Upstate NY.

I would go swimming in a pond that was full of what I call "freshwater seaweed" and I got a permit to stock it with Triploid Grass Carp that would eat it.

The next summer I tried to go swimming there and 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐌! I got out of the pond and saw a beaver swimming around in circles and realized he'd hit his tail to warn me away. Then I noticed that the pond was full of beaver turds and remembered that that's the way you get

https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/giardia/index.html

so I haven't swum in that pond since.

I've had beavers living in the wet meadow on my farm for years and we always have somebody taking the dams apart so the driveway doesn't get flooded. It's not a terrible chore if you never let the water level get high near the driveway -- if you do they get a lot more productive and it's a lot more work.
My mortgage payment is small enough that a lot of people could easily afford a single payment if I had defaulted on it. That doesn’t mean they could just pay off the entire remainder of a mortgage.

Paying off the current payment doesn’t deal with the remaining $300B debt that they need to service. It just kicks the can down the road a few days.

Good luck finding a multi-billionaire that’s going to swoop in and make $148M payments on a regularly recurring basis for the next decade.
What sort of thing would you not hit the back button on and actually engage with, beyond reading the page, nodding your head, and moving to the next HN article?

Native, cross-platform, nice-looking GUIs seem to be getting harder and harder to make each year as native toolkits and styles continue to diverge. LispWorks and Allegro offer solutions [1,2], but they’re proprietary and definitely won’t let you do anything super slick.

GUI toolkits are no longer plain old C APIs, now we have a zoo of them in a bunch of different languages and frameworks.

How can we get back to an age where we can throw up text boxes, buttons, and canvases without the browser and without C++?

I’ve been hopeful that IUP [3] would expand support for native macOS GUIs, but it doesn’t seem like it’s happening any time soon.

In practice, if I get a differential equation that I don't recognize and I want a closed-form solution, I check out http://eqworld.ipmnet.ru/ or one of the books produced by the same folks. It's like looking up integrals in an integral table. You look up the form of the equation you want, and they summarize the solution and cite the proof.

The incentives of holders of public office are completely warped. If you represent taxpayers, the last thing you want is for your city / state / county to face a huge settlement bill, so it's all denials, all around. This makes it impossible to fix the underlying problem -- it's the opposite of a blameless postmortem culture that should underlie productive systems design.

I think GP meant that it's going to be a boon because repairing your car instead of replacing it is becoming a better deal every day.
For me it has been the other way around: When I give a programming problem for a candidate to solve, I ask them to focus for the 30 minutes in the problem and solve it.

I myself found it asinine when I was asked to talk while writing code... I just cannot focus in the problem at hand while coding. Maybe I am stupid or low IQ, but I need to concentrate in the problem and put 100% of my attention on it.

From interviewing several hundred people so far, I've seen that most of them breathe a sigh of relief once I told them that rule (along with the rule of being able to search for whatever they want as part of the challenge).

The image of a developer constantly speaking while coding on their day to day brings me a chcukle.
Right, most car startups fail. Odds are against some of these…
Most likely because their contacts don't want to switch. I've migrated extended family off WhatsApp to Signal but it was a nontrivial effort since their contacts don't want to use anything but WhatsApp.

> I dislike the command-line format of Hop; it seems to missing many features.

I agree 100%. I wrote most of it in like three hours; it's not a polished product.

> My own opinion for the general case is that I like to have concatenable format with separate compression (although this is not suitable for all applications). One way to allow additional features might be having an extensible set of fields, so you can include/exclude file modes, modifications times, numeric or named user IDs, IBM code pages, resource forks, cryptographic hashes, multi-volumes, etc. (I also designed a compression format with a optional key frame index; this way the same format supports both solid and non-solid compression, whichever way you want to do, and this can work independently from the archive format being used.)

I'm wary of slowing it down by adding lots of features. I think that, generally speaking, _more_ purpose-built binary formats should exist.

Engineers do this all the time with YAML files and JSON, but why not binary files?
It depends on the configuration. My 2007 V8 only came one way with 4H and 4L on the selector.

Apparently in the age of WSB apes, everything is a “short squeeze”. Even GME wasn’t a short squeeze (the SEC report clearly presents irrefutable evidence) and neither is deflation.
I’m not sure “hiding” it requires justification. But it isn’t ready for public consumption, and it’s generated a lot of interest. I’d have to assume limiting the volume of feedback is at least part of the motivation. I’ve seen several other projects, large and small, take this early stage approach.

It’s also not particularly hidden, the private repo currently has 172 watchers and IIRC I got an invite as soon as I asked for it.
Additional pills:

If you have your phone rooted, go to the "/data/data/com.whatsapp" using a terminal, and copy the messages database to the Internal Storage (wherever that is, I don't have any rooted device right now with me).

Then extract that file to your computer and use any SQLite3 viewer. It's not encrypted.

You'll find messages since the very first install of WhatsApp, even if you deleted these.

That's controversial. Determining correctness by popularity is one of the most common logical fallacies.

On HN ? Unless you are a student you are making enough money to afford premium without thinking much about it and if you are using it enough to notice ads it makes sense to pay for services you use.

This is exactly why the internet is in the situation where it is - nobody wants to pay for stuff so they have to monetise tracking and advertising.
My listening experience has never been better. I have no doubt that my amplifier sounds the same as a high fidelity amplifier made in the 1970s. The measured fidelity of the rest of my signal chain is profoundly better.

I think that digital recording and distribution has been a game changer for the kind of music that I listen to, often obscure, indy musicians. YouTube is a blast.

About a decade ago, I sold my ReVox B77 open reel tape recorder and bought a pocket sized digital recorder.

The gear for live music has improved. I'm a jazz bassist, and a quality amplifier plus speaker now weighs 12 pounds.
> Downside of this field is that there are very few job opportunities without relocating. If you're in the US, you can work at Intel... or Intel. Unless you're willing to move to Taiwan and work at TSMC.

Only if we're talking specifically about cutting edge logic. There's Texas Instruments and GlobalFoundries in the US on the trailing edge for logic. In memory, where the fabrication techniques are similar, there's Micron, IMFT in Utah, and Samsung in Texas. Not to mention that TSMC is building a leading edge logic fab in Arizona.

And then of course there are all of the capital equipment suppliers, where the US punches way above its weight. Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA are all headquartered in California and employ a lot of the same talent that Intel does.
At the low price point, you can get a digital audio player with a human-ears-perfect DAC and a human-ears-perfect amplifier for under $100, that will feed headphones of sufficient quality for between $50 and $200 depending on your criteria.

For at least some people, K&R just "clicks". It's written in a way that is crystal clear (to at least some people).

In my case, I read K&R over a Thanksgiving weekend, and I understood all of it[1], even without a compiler to try things out on.

Currently the cheapest new ICE cost 15-20k and the cheapest new long-range EV cost 30-35k (and a Tesla costs over 40k). If people are going to switch to EVs for lower TCO, the EVs will need to get a lot cheaper. I have no doubt this will occur eventually. And when they get a lot cheaper, how is Tesla going to earn a fat margin? I feel the “lower TCO” story is not that bullish for Tesla given the enormous profits that are required to justify Tesla’s current valuation.

From a US government perspective, the options are either let people invest their money in China or not let people invest their money in China. To let people decide on their own if investing money in Chinese companies is worth the risk seems to me to be the more free market option than our government forbidding it. That China can then pull the rug out from under you is the risk you take due to your choice of investment, if we wanted the government to protect people from that risk it should have been done before investment happened, not after.
I rarely engage with YT recommended videos so I can't verify the accuracy of your claims. Either way, however, it sounds like reworking their recommendations algorithm would be a more reasonable way to deal with this issue than simply hiding the like/dislike ratio.
