I /wish/ I could migrate to a regular gmail account from me@mydomain.tld. I've put up with a crippled account for years that can't access arbitrary features or leave store reviews because of my play store purchase library. My email was moved to another host years ago for privacy reasons.

Do they not realize the downstream effect is they are removing the lock-in that kept has users like me from switching to iOS for all these years? When this keeps me buying a new pixel every other year there is a revenue impact even thought the account is 'free'.
I use lazygit[0] to essentially do the same thing. (or even vim-fugitive[1])

Previously I avoided creating messy commits simply because it was "tedious" to reorganize commits. And making overly atomic commits and typing out git commands more frequently didn't appeal to me either.

Once I got used to the above tools, life got so much easier. Lazygit makes it super easy to amend, reword, and even re-position commits in a TUI environment. Real life-changer for me. I can stage hunks super easily too, though that's even easier in neovim.

The only issue I face is my C-j/C-k keys are already bound to tmux, but are needed by lazygit to reposition commits.

The IRS will just have to get used to dealing with me though mail again, there is absolutely no way I'm going through all that hassle to log into a web site.

Bills are absolutely worthless as a form of identity anyway, there are no security features on those, most of them are printed on standard paper by common laser printers, there is no way one of their call center people in Stinkwater, Florida is going to know what a utility bill from Bloom County, Illinois looks like and be able to determine from a picture if its original or not.

Having used Clojure for a while now, I will say having 90% of things be a primitive, map, or vector goes a long way in and of itself. A lot of types concocted in a more conventional language just don't need to exist, IMO, and they create so much baggage around themselves.

As someone who uses YouTube for ~12 hours a day and has been paying for Premium since it was first offered (as YouTube Red) here is what I do:

- Listen to / watch podcast (2 - 4 hours)

- Watch videos from a handful of creators like Linus Tech Tips or Tom Scott (3 hours)

- Listen / watch various conference talks (1 - 2 hours)

- Listen to music (~6 hours)
Provided Google doesn't disable "too much" of these accounts, they ought to act like normal "Google accounts", which don't have Google-provided email service associated (i.e. a free Google account that was created with an external email address).

You might miss out on some things like Calendar/Gmail, but a free Google account using an external email should preserve things like purchases. Failing to do that would seem likely to push them down the path of lawsuits and PR fiascos, and also embolden what's likely a disproportionately tech-savvy (and influential in making purchasing decisions) audience fitting the demographic that set up a domain for email 10+ years ago.
I unfortunately don't have the time to look at the papers in detail (I could totally see how a lot of what I observed could happen even without intentional misclicks so I do take that back), but I want to point out that January 2019 Alphastar (in exhibition matches against TLO and MaNa) is significantly worse than Fall 2019 Alphastar. Alphastar changed very markedly between those time periods.

If you look at an Alphastar Protoss game from the latter half of 2019, it's not relying on cheap tricks to win (such as the impossible stalker micro). Nothing it's doing leaps out as superhuman. Instead it just grinds down its opponent through a superior sense of timing and macro strategy. The two games I linked against Serral it wins by punishing when Serral overextends his reach or by altering its unit composition to better fit what Serral throws at it, rather than some ungodly micro. Nothing it's doing there couldn't be done by a human. In fact I would say in most of the battles, Serral's micro was better than Alphastar's.

Now it's also worth pointing out that Serral is playing on an unfamiliar computer, rather than his own, so there's a bit of a handicap going on and even Alphastar Protoss will still lose to humans, so it's not superhuman, but it's definitely an elite player and its play style is very difficult to distinguish from that of an elite player.
This.

See another comment I made discussing my sister's experience.

The childish, dorm-roomy attitude of landlords being "big faceless corporations" is wholly inaccurate and distorted. The same group also has this view that most people using this program were honest, good citizens experiencing true hardship. This is absolutely not the case according to every audit my sister's company did, as well as the research the industry organization she was elected to did.

It's a bunch of dirtbags capitalizing on a poorly constructed policy.
I can handle setting up new email that still uses the domain. The issue is all the data/purchases/etc with the Google Apps account that can't be transferred to a regular Gmail account.

Our 12 year old was refused service in a local stationery shop last week because he didn't have proof of vaccination or a negative test with him. He'd been tested three times in school that same week, but had left "his papers" at home.

He was attempting to buy stuff for school. He was furious.

Oh, and in not so many years from now, he'll be old enough to vote.

This is basically why I do not automatically discount the story as fake. I have certainly been a part of groups that had a wide range of technical skills. It is an odd experience, but it forces you to think about your audience ( and document everything like you would for your parent ).

Not to say that this is your issue, but I find it helps if I dress up a lot.

I have nice, embroidered pearl snaps, custom cowboy boots, fancy hats, and a couple nice vests.

Pull quotes in general usually irritate me. I'm sure there's a place for them, when done correctly. But usually I'll see things like you pointed out. Or worse, the pull quote will come from a paragraph far above it (and so no longer relevant to the section I'm currently in), or far below it (so way out of context; I haven't even got to that part yet!)

FWIW I read this awhile ago or some version of it but I have absolutely automated a job or an entire department’s job away with scripts.

My mother went through the same, and my feelings echo your own.

There is absolutely nothing good about losing a loved one to dementia. It is constant pain, for years.

I still remember the first time my Mom flinched in fear as I went to give her a hug, as she didn't recognize me. Her greatest fear was losing her mind, and it happened, and there was nothing any of us could do about it. It was a mercy when her body passed, as everything she was had died, inch by inevitable inch, years before. It was cruel, horrible, everything.

Lots of negative feedback here. While I don't have kids, I'd imagine if I introduced this app to my nephews they would just try it once or twice and forget about it because many other apps are more fun.

On another note, I would also suggest OP to take the feedback received with a grain of salt. At the end of the day, your job is to find people who love your app. You're not going to convince every parent/child and that's okay while you're building out your niche.

The UK government has proposed making photo ID mandatory for voting (currently it's only needed in Northern Ireland), and it's been controversial for similar reasons to the USA. The legislation is currently progressing through parliament.

The Government's research shows that 2% of the UK population doesn't have any form of photo ID, and up to 9% of the population don't have a valid photo ID (i.e. one that would be recognised for voting purposes and has not expired). [0]

The idea that 9% of the population would need to go through additional processes and costs to retain the right to vote is concerning to many.

There's no ID card scheme in the UK, so people typically rely on a driving licence or passport in day to day life. These both have requirements people may not be able to meet (e.g. health conditions may prohibit a driving licence being obtained), and can be expensive.

Fortunately, the UK government has announced plans for a free voter ID card to be made available to anyone without another form of ID.

It then comes down to a cost/risk analysis. The UK government estimates it could cost something like £18 million per year to implement the photo ID requirement.

If the types of fraud that would be prevented by asking for ID are miniscule (33 allegations of voter impersonation were made in 2019 out of 50 million votes cast) and so many people don't have ID - is it worth that cost?

Firejail has had multiple sandbox escape vulns in the past. Firejail is an SUID executable in which sandbox escapes can lead to privilege escalation. In contrast, Systemd allows you to run services as unprivileged users, and even create users on demand.

Systemd also supports firewalling: it supports IP address allow/deny policies, ports, etc. For more advanced firewall policies you're probably better off using an actual firewall daemon like firewalld or ufw.

TBH, I am not super on point about that-- on some level I still rationalize busking as a mode of practice where I don't have to annoy the neighbors in my apartment.

The friction to stop paying rent was essentially zero. A 1 page form with no verification. The friction to get reimbursed, depending on where you are, was very high, and in the case of my sister's situation, required cooperation of the tenant, who had zero incentive to provide it.

I know you WANT to believe this program didn't screw over landlords, and that most of the people utilizing the program were honest, good human beings. That's simply not the case when you talk to any landlord.

Feel free to ask the person you are replying to what their experience has been. I have yet to meet a landlord that doesn't have a hugely negative view of the entire suite of pandemic programs.
> You can recover a private key from two signatures if they reuse the same nonce.

You can, but you can also do a lot more than that. Thinking that this is the only attack is a common error, and precisely the one Wright was making in that recording.

Two signatures with different messages and the same key and message is just a special case of the fact that if you write out the signing equation as a linear system with privkey and nonce being unknown, and the message and signatures being the knows if the resulting matrix is exactly determined or over-determined, then you can solve for the unknown values.

It would also be the case that if you had two signatures with the same key and the nonces being any known multiple of each other that it's just as solvable.

There are other attack approaches, for example if you have a set of signatures where you know the leading bits of the nonce you can also recover the keys by solving a hidden number problem. (If you only know the single leading bit it'll take a few hundred signatures).

Cryptosystems are inherently fragile. The security assumptions of these schemes demand a uniformly random nonce. Deviation from the required property easily destroys security in practically exploitable ways.

The person Wright was arguing with was pointing out that if Wright had the private keys in question -- turns out he didn't-- it wouldn't be impossible that he obtained them after observing a single insecurely generated signature. Wright drove the discussion down a tangent with an argument that one couldn't recover a key with a single signature-- a false claim, but even if it were true it wouldn't really have supported his case.

> When was the last time any Youtube success was fictionalized content?

Cobra Kai seems successful. Unfortunately, YouTube dropped it and Netflix picked it up. The irony is that, while Google makes a lot of money from ads, its sibling Netflix kinda sucked at advertising the show. I didn't know about Cobra Kai until it was on Netflix.
I'm none the wiser.

What is a "non-random source of events"? Did you mean sequence of events?

Picture a band playing live on stage. Is the music produced random? Is it measurable by brain state/inputs? What if one of the musicians is slightly off tempo? What if one of them plays a wrong note? Is that sequence of events random enough? And is it still all measurable?

> each failure to identify any would successively and significantly weaken the justification for determinism

Failure to justify could also be explained by determinism. As could every other outcome from every experiment, since determinism is, by definition, the meta cause of cause and effect itself.

They're not against voter ID on principal. They're against it as a marketing tactic.

It's the dems in this case, but the following also applies to the repubs: neither are against an intrusive or abusive government. They're actively for it. The only thing that tempers their appetite is remaining electable.
>> As one example, we could be installing the Linux distribution of our choice on the Pinebook Pro using a standard aarch64 UEFI ISO installer, just like we do for any other laptop, if someone spent a couple of weeks upstreaming the last 6 patches to mainline Linux and put together a suitable u-Boot payload to flash on the SPI flash chip. But, instead of one working solution for everyone, we have 20+ Linux distros publishing Pine64-specific images to flash to microSD cards.

I think this is a key part of the problem and is not unique to Pine64 devices, but the ARM ecosystem as a whole.

There needs to be more funding and focus drawn towards standards compliant firmware. U-Boot is great, but it tends to lead to lots of unique distribution-specific problems as Drew points out here.

We have the SBBR and UEFI standards for ARM, but it needs to be more widely built out for consumer devices and not just servers.

I get the worst resistance when I say it but I think music died when autotune became ubiquitous. Curiously this happened at the same time that Napster hit so piracy got a lot of the blame.

Personally I think autotune sucks all the emotional connection out of music. It is one thing that Miku Hatsune sings like that, it's another thing that Miley Cyrus does. (Not to pick her out as a particularly great musician but she is a competent singer with a beautiful voice that stands on its own without processing.)

Autotune music just washes over people without having any effect.

When there is autotune music on at the gas station people can't tell you who the artists is sometimes they aren't even sure if it is rap or country music. Ask people on the street to actually name a Kanye West song and most of them struggle. I'm almost tempted to say that "Kanye West doesnt't exist or that he's just famous because his wife is famous."

I'm so confused by your stance here. You essentially say "type systems are not useful" and then "oh but this most recent advance in type systems — that one is useful." Do you find type systems useful or not?

There are a lot of properties we can analyze statically, and practically all of them essentially amount to extensions of type systems. Any of them increases our ability to rule out undesirable programs from every beginning execution. Some of them have unintuitive syntax, but many of them are no more syntactically burdensome than most other type systems. This is especially true if you consider how far we've come with type inference, so we no longer have to write code with the verbosity of Java just to get some meager guarantees. It's still a very active area of research, but we're clearly making progress in useful ways (which you even highlight), so I don't really know what point it is you've set out to make.
Why do you feel entitled to that? Are you going to pay for it again?
I haven't thought about it, no. Not sure if that would be a good spot to be in, as a business.
