Pretty much. A sleezy guy at work would show off the nudes he got on his private phone from girls on Snapchat by taking pictures of the screen with his work phone.

Life tip: never send nudes or any private information to anyone you don't completely trust, regardless of the privacy features the communication medium offers, as there's always an easy workaround.

As I see it, if there are these active circuitry in the plug (and there is) it should provide "answers to questions", I don't think that the final user would be overly upset if he/she attempted to use a cable to (say) connect to a monitor and the OS would interrogate the cable and:

1) OK, this cable is fine for sending video to monitor xxxx

2) Sorry but this cable is not suited for video transmission

3) This cable seems to be monodirectional, try reverting it

...

etc.

The issue is when you have a bunch of cables, all either white or black that you cannot distinguish, and you have to try all of them, hoping to have a suitable one (alternatively they could have made them "colour coded", like, say, black 5 V charge only , yellow dual voltage, green charge + video, etc., even with just a small colour dot on the connectors )
Better.com CEO Vishal Garg Fired 900 Employees on Zoom Call

yes for missions that does not change underway or where the objectives don't contain loosely defined objectives with moral ambiguity, and for the vast amount of those you don't really need anything beyond and 80ies computer system running relatively conventional procedural code, which is why they have been performed using cruise missiles or artillery for decades.

The problem is that the missions flown requires a lot more judgement then modern machine learning is capable of providing, or that we are likely to entrust solely to an computer anytime soon.

Yes the skynet scenario is increasingly likely but it's also something military planners are aware of especially doing periods of diplomatic tensions like the ones we are under now where you really don't want an trigger happy automated defence system in charge of fully armed missiles.

There is also the issue that all we know is that the next war will have it's own entirely new politically defined strategic constraints, where the most effective tactical strategy is might be blocked out due to long term diplomatic/political consequences.

Honestly that probably won't be too interesting as (a) one AI could perfectly control several agents (ie perfect coordination of global strategies) and (b) an AI has low to no reaction times and perfect aim (aimbots already have that) so I would expect that would quickly result in a slaughterfest.

Muscle memory is a strange thing. I tried picking up Colemak last year and stopped because I made no progress. I then tried again recently and started right where I left off, at a slightly higher WPM.

It's odd that I could just continue progress that quickly and there's been absolutely no problem switching between keyboard layouts.

I am not an American and I do not live in the US. However, I try to keep up with what is happening in the US and I would not be so sure about what is universal and what is fringe. This is really hard to estimate without some serious data analysis because we all watch just tiny fraction of media space - when you say that you don't hear something on Fox News, my immediate reaction is that you cannot possibly know that.

You maybe mean it is not common there, but the things you claim to be universal on the left side do not seem to me that common either. They certainly are not universal - I lean liberal, if I lived in the US and had the citizenship, I would probably vote democrats, but I noticed many liberals critiquing those views in left-leaning media like NYT. And I want to especially mention the celebrities - I think they do not represent left mainstream (or something that could be called universal); I believe it is the opposite, they are the fringe, they are the extreme living in their separate bubble totally disconnected from average people.
Sure, but the sheet music was a straightforward product. Certain people wanted to perform certain music, and the sheet music helped them to do it. Music has been part of religious observance since forever. It’s just inaccurate to analyze the situation as one where the sheet music business is only profitable because it’s being indirectly used to “sell preaching”.

Anyway, whatever the beginnings of the industry, there was a very large secular sheet music market shortly thereafter. I’d love to hear the cynical analysis of the madrigal industry, but I suspect the truth of it is a lot simpler: people enjoy singing songs.

From Wikipedia:

> Jacques Arcadelt (also Jacob Arcadelt; c. 1507 – 14 October 1568[1]) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance, active in both Italy and France, and principally known as a composer of secular vocal music. Although he also wrote sacred vocal music, he was one of the most famous of the early composers of madrigals; his first book of madrigals, published within a decade of the appearance of the earliest examples of the form, was the most widely printed collection of madrigals of the entire era.

So, "Privacy by obscurity"? Who thought that was a good idea? And how do they plan to restrict screenshots on iOS anyway? This is wrong on so many levels. If someone has access to a material on their own device, Telegeam can only make it inconvenient (but not impossible) to save/forward content, and since it's not real privacy, this only makes people to move away from Telegram to, say, Discord or alternatives, just as me and many others around did.

Good move Telegram. This is how you ruin your otherwise-great platform.

Very good points, I agree with the gist of your post, I just want to say, that, still you're not really buying it, but building it, through repeated interactions.
This trend to prevent others from saving content is stupid. Are people not going to read the content? It’s already “saved” and of course doesn’t stop people from using another phone to screenshot or simply typing up the contents

As an aside, once AR is mainstream I expect that apps will only display encrypted text and some pair of smart glasses will be able to be configured to decrypt and display the play text all on the client (glasses) such that such issues are removed.
Crypto bubble bursting just means that all investors leave, not that crypto currencies disappear. So bitcoin would go back to levels it was at before the investment craze 4 years ago, so about 5 years ago? At that point you could buy stuff with it and send people money, but people didn't view it as an investment vehicle.

Can't speak for Amazon. Generally so I don't see how one could insure against it. I know that e.g. Allianz offers policies against IT outages. In that case so, what is the actual damage? Probably the delivery drivers paid without delivering and salaries, plus potential overtime to solve the backlog. Depending on the conditions a company the size of Amazon would get, maybe it's not worth it.
Depends on the bubble, some have dragged on for decades ( e.g. railways in multiple countries or the Canal Mania in the UK)
Dominion and Homeworlds are pretty complicated! Maybe you can start with a simpler game like Splendor.

In my 2-player Splendor rules engine, the following actions are possible:

1. Purchase a holding. (90 possible actions, one for each holding)

2. If you do not have 3 reserved cards, reserve a card and take a gold chip if possible. (93 possible actions, one for each holding and one for each deck of facedown cards)

3. If there are 4 chips of the same color in a pile, take 2 chips of that color. (5 possible actions)

4. Take 3 chips of different colors, or 2 chips of different colors if only 2 are available, or 1 chip if only 1 is available. (25 possible actions)

5. If after any action you have at least 11 chips, return 1 chip. (6 possible actions which are never legal at the same time as any other actions)

This still doesn't correctly implement the rules though. In the actual game, you'd be allowed to spend gold chips when you don't need to, which would make purchasing holdings contain extra decisions after you pick which holding to purchase about which chips you'd like to keep.

The question of usability is highly dependent on how far up a ladder of escalation a given conflict goes up to.

I imagine weapon systems like the F35 are intended for a higher level of conflict and deterrent than the new lower hybrid-war conflicts we're seeing taking place right now. In those cheap home-grown drones can be useful but must rely on satellites and other infrastructure which at a higher level of escalation would be under attack.

I'm certain they've done quite a bit of homework on these choices.

What I find interesting is how something like the F35 is more meant for asymmetrical warfare. If a real war were to break out I imagine something like the A35 Warthog and other such aircraft being rapidly manufactured and delivered to battlegrounds.

But it's all just, like, my opinion man.

I hold a decent chunk of change in stable coins most of which I lend out to earn interest. Sometimes I top up a VISA card with those stables and then buy groceries.

You might reply "you're just using a proxy of USD the original currency, its not new".

That's true my reply to that would be:

Having the USD be on chain allows very efficient lending. For eg. I can use a lending aggregator that is constantly polling many lending sources and moves my money to the best source of yield regularly. How would you do this with traditional banking?

I expect over time for the volatility to smooth out as more of the expectations are realised and we figure out a widely agreed fair price for most cryptos (for many this will be zero).
The problem here is not that Telegram disallows you from taking screenshots but that the OS, which should be on the side of the user, allows apps to disallow you from taking screenshots.

Hey Mister
I wonder how this fares with android rooting, ios jailbreaking and generic desktop reverse engineering. Surely i can capture the screen video buffer in some way or another. And most probably someone dedicated enough would find the encryption scheme and key from the binaries to extract source media.

Back in the days there were apps in cydia to get a hold of all the snaps you received since they were just lying unencrypted inside a private sandbox.
It IS possible to build one from scratch, but the limiting factors as always are money and time.

This reminds me of old websites blocking right clicking on a webpage since that's how you viewed the source code, yet there's always a way to get the source. Same in this case, there's always a way to capture the "protected" content.

Edit: granted, not only old websites do this. Instagram lays a full width/height transparent div atop the picture to prevent right-click copying of the image.

The Main Characteristics of a Good Moving Company in Niagara
A moving company in St. Catharines helps to transport, pack, preserve, and carry things to relocate to a town, province, or country. It can be hard and exhausting to relocate your family and belongings. Choosing the correct moving company, on the other hand, might make the process less stressful. There are numerous moving firms on the market.
Smallish non-tech companies typically have single points of failure that are much more severe than a server/service being down for a couple of hours. Accountant on holiday? Guess we're not writing any invoices this week. Two of our drivers are ill? Guess we'll have to let all of this stuff pile up here for a bit. By comparison, a public-facing service or intranet being down for a few hours hardly merits attention.
Ask HN: Should Python library maintainers still support python3.6?
In a few days, we will be celebrating the 5th anniversary from the release of python3.6. With python3.10 released a few months ago, do you believe that maintainers of python packages should still provide support for python3.6? This of course comes with plenty of trade-offs, such us not being able to update dependencies, additional code and testing to handle python version incompatibilities and the list goes on. As a maintainer of a package that was created after python3.6, I have got multiple requests to provide support for it, which is of course something that I would be keen to avoid. The answer depends on the library domain I guess, but I would like to get a holistic view of the matter.
Not a telegram user so I'm interested in how are the ads displayed? Like banner ads?
Well I guess that does it
I wonder how do they handle DRM content in the open-source version of Telegram - Telegram Desktop (https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop).

Also, Telegram Desktop is licensed under GPLv3, which is an anti-DRM license. Something doesn't add up here...
Inconvenience is often good enough. This isn't intended for state secrets, based on the language it's intended for "creators" to "protect the content they publish on Telegram". Obviously any platform can't completely prevent copying works, that's how piracy exists, and always will. If I were an artist I would prefer a platform that at least made it slightly more onerous to copy my things with high quality. A photo of a phone is worth effectively nothing in this context.

This seems like a fine change, people on HN just like to be angry.
Honestly, I'm not sure there a direct correlation between blocking Tor and rumours regarding the Ukraine.

Russian government has been implementing censorship measures for many years.

E.g. Tor would have been blocked in Russia sooner or later regardless.
It might not stop everyone, but it could stop most people.

Hell, I even stopped trying to use developer tools to extract facebook videos because they made it more difficult, and stopped using youtube-DL because Google is now throttling it. Main reason is that it's not worth the trouble anymore.
Those panels could still be deployed elsewhere and produce power for the grid.

Like chat messages

they also removed the private images part, and pivoted towards becoming a "social network" (several years too late). Honestly no idea how they stay alive.

Also honestly no idea why they never jumped on the NFT bandwagon.

The batteries in a Formula E car, just for comparison, weigh 200 kg, according to Wikipedia. I don't know how much the batteries required to provide power comparable to F1 cars would weigh, but I'm pretty sure it's not less than that.

I suppose it might be possible to change the batteries using some kind of a crane system, but it doesn't seem straightforward to just replace the batteries quickly. It's not a single small battery.

Haha yes. I think I first saw this on social media websites, so it's a very close comparison.

This introduced me to developer tools and the funny 3d view of html layers that Firefox had.
Exposing ports breaks every security model in your firewall, which is why you should expose ports explicitly to localhost and if you want to expose them to the outside world you use a routing application (e.g. haproxy). I think that is the most obvious one. The fact that it messes with your iptables rules in a way that is frankly not very transparent is something that cannot be fixed, except by not using docker :)
I am amazed how high quality telegram's client apps are. Both on desktop (native), android, and even the web versions are feature full, native, blazing FAST. As I said once, telegram is not the best chat app I have to use, but the best... App altogether on my laptop/phone, I have to use :-)

The UX is slicker and more comfortable to use than that of whatsapp (and miles ahead signal). With the latest update if I got it correctly, even E2E encrypted chats can be synced to all clients (? Needs to be verified)

I guess you mean the security model of non-E2E chats. Although you can read into it that they can do MITM, the details reveal that the actual keys/messages are shared into datacenters in multiple countries so no government alone can retrieve plaintext from at-rest storage. To me (especially compared to anything Facebook products) is already much better than nothing. If it's an issue for you, opt in for E2E chats and enjoy!

Sometimes I have to use whatsapp with some contacts and it feels like a huge step back after telegram, especially in UX.
After refreshing a few times, I'm now greeted by impossible to solve captchas.

Yeah, I really don't want to be on their shoes, and if we on the outside don't make our pain points clearly visible, I have the feeling that management will never change course.

On the outside it looks they have made a mess across teams, and now everyone is competing for our attention regarding Forms, WPF, WinUI 2.x on UWP (XBox, HoloLens, Windows until WinUI 3.0 catches up), WinUI 3.0 (some day), MFC (WinUI with C++/WinRT is a mess except for ATL/WRL fans with their deep IDL/COM love), MAUI, PWAs, or better yet, just wrap Blazor everywhere.

So I can't belive they are like the dog on a burning house, rather not allowed to fix the mess that Windows 8 brought into Windows development, and talk publicly how they actually think about all of this.
I think we have neither the AI nor the war proof reliable communication to really steer something like a warplane remotely, in a first-world war scenario.

The US could fly its drones with pilots comfortably sat in mainland US because the Taliban had no weapons able to shoot drones down. There was no dog fighting, no anti-satellite weaponry deployed etc.

Another reason is that warplanes are saturated with expensive kit like crazy. Yes the pilot is a major constructional constraint, but the main reason drones are so much cheaper right now is that they just aren’t designed as equally versatile platforms. If you wanted a full-fledged F35 drone replacement, I’m not sure it would be that much cheaper.

A different axis of the question, which came into play in the Azerbaijan-Armenia war recently, is whether we want few super-capable machines or much much more simpler ones. I think the jury is still out, but to me this is the interesting area of development.
> How many of those services can live with that?

Apparently, many can! Look at how many companies choose not to pay ransom when hit with a ransomware attack, or prefer to negotiate for days instead of buckling straight away, even if it means operations are crippled for weeks. They don't typically go bankrupt afterwards, everyone coped, life moves on.
I've worked a bit with a such system, from interpreting it at the policy level and down to creating a technical POC at one time.

My conclusion and I think everyone elses too at that project was that despite the fact that Microsofts offering (Azure Information Protection, but not the the Sharepoint part of it) was almost brilliant it only solves involuntary leaks:

- people forgetting to lock their machines,

- forgetting that something is internal

- etc

If someone wants to leak information they can always take a photo of it.

As someone who has had colleagues send screenshots of sensistive details, taking the effort to reply on BCC-ed mails and more and who has also managed to do a few things of my own I welcome this.
