Poverty (in addition to staggering population increase) is a consequence of mercantilism and civilisation, thus recent technological advances in quality life that reduce poverty are bringing those people back to square one. It's hard to say if those technological advances would not have emerged under alternative economies.

Edit: Communist countries did have extensive well-functioning public health care systems (Cuba is an extant example) but that has to be balanced with the central planning in some larger communist states (namely China/Russia) that caused unprecedented famine and misery. Perhaps in an alternate timeline, if communist states weren't living in a world that was economically hostile (sanctions etc.) they might have thrived and focused on quality of life as a technology driver
Read the article. There are many web3 categories but a majority of users is going to use only a different few wallets or addresses for each. It's trivial for big cos to connect the dots across categories like web2. If anything, web3 transactions are probably a stronger signal of willingness to pay/invest/gamble and can be better used for targeted ads.
As others said, DKIM always includes "from". And almost none of the emails I get are S/MIME or PGP signed.

Like you said: SPF and DMARC only authenticate the server. It's up to the server to authenticate the user.

Scenario: imagine your bank uses Mailbox.org to send emails. How would you verify that an email is legit? Any Mailbox user can send emails through Mailbox with your bank as "from" and all of these emails pass SPF and DKIM checks. Your mail server has no way to distinct a legit email from a fake one. This is why it's important that the server does this check (check that sender account and "from" match / are a valid combination).
Jira, bitbucket, and confluence are complete abominations. I hate Jira so much that it will be among the first questions I ask when I interview for my next job. I miss gitlab so much.
In web3, your wallet ID (used for purchases and proposed for logins too) is an undeletable cookie that tracks you both online and off, and one that anyone can retrieve.

This article seems to think that having a super cookie like this will make advertising less bad. I think it will be the opposite - instead of only Google/Facebook doing it, you're now going to have every single shady operation under the sun now able to use/mine/combine your data however they please with zero controls (and unlike HTTP cookies they'll need exactly zero investment & zero infrastructure to do so, so there is no barrier to entry to start using this data)

Web3 is the advertising world's ultimate dream situation.

It allows significantly more invasive tracking by tying online and offline, cannot ever be deleted or changed, and the same cookie ID is shared across all aspects of your life (unless you use multiple wallets with one-per-site, but my understanding is that an anathema to web3 concepts about data ownership)
*Some transactions are public. Where Public == an Address. Wallet-Address pairings aren't public and Wallet can have many Addresses. You can have a new one for every transaction if you want. And it'll only become linked to you as a person if you withdraw to a bank.

So I think it does have quite a bit of privacy.
A shouting matches at a school board in the US at least is not terrorism. Bringing your guns and saying you might use them in the future and making vaguely threatening comments about that sounds like something that should be illegal to me. Saying I hate this decision that you're making and I'm going to vote against you, not terrorism.
2) Is true about these regions, largely because of constant war conditions caused by, well, constant war going on there.
More-or-less same is true about the Ukraine itself, even given no war is going on there. Conditions are comparable (but subsidies in that case are, of course, coming not from Russia, but from the West).

For those that haven't experienced the British version of Jeopardy, I invite you to give it your best shot with the above video. I can regularly answer ~60% of the board on Jeopardy but I'm lucky to get three questions right on University Challenge. I have no doubt that there is a better format to be had.

That said, Only Connect (also on BBC, watchable below) is a format that I think would meet great success if imported over to the US. Networks can trust audiences to buy into more complex formats now (compared to the utter simplicity of UC above) and Only Connect uses its complexity to great effect.

I'd bet that for the average tech illiterate teacher that's used to lazy students, it would be more work to explain how it could possibly NOT be the student's fault if they got an empty(looking) docx.
Could be. I'll ask around. My Tek scopes (analog vintage anyway) had visited the Tek Shop at least twice.

I recently 'restored' two EC-1 Analog Computers. Both were extremely well-built; and in one of them, the caps were even still good (!). My experience is 60s through mid 70s Heathkits. I don't have much experience with 'newer' models. Or older, for that matter. (My first kit was a transistor checker; then a DX-60A. Last kit was probably the mid-range AM/FM receiver/amp. I still have that, and it works great.)
Just the view of someone whose family is from Argentina, and who lived there during two bouts of severe inflation of >50%. To me, it's never "solved" and one thing I really fear is that the US is starting to look more and more like Argentina in both its populist political rhetoric and its abuse of institutions to produce short-term political gains at the expense of longer-term prosperity. You could say that the Roman Republic had inflation solved for several hundred years before it became an empire, and emperors started debasing the currency out of what they viewed, myopically, as political necessity. I think there's a deep irony in the interplay between political trends, monetary policy, and inflation. The more populist the government, left or right, (or in Argentina, Peronist) the more it chases its own economic tail. Inflation is a regressive tax on the poor, because anyone with foreign bank accounts and property can ride it out. Inflation is a funnel that sucks money from the poor to the wealthy. But it's one that's aggravated by populist policies that seemed initially designed to help the poor (or at least to get their votes). On a social level, the cost of the instability it causes is also a bad bet for the rich, because like a tornado it eats everything in its path. No sane rich person wants inflation for their country, even if they would get richer by playing it correctly. It can happen in America, now, because we've crossed a bunch of red lines. We're in an almost unprecedented position as a teetering economic superpower in world history and there is nowhere to go but down. The more politicians pile onto policies that inflate the currency, like the $16/hr minimum wage, the more quickly those small decisions will turn into a spiral.
The article is mainly about cryptocurrency wallets as identities. That may be a good idea or a bad idea. Worth discussing.

It does make creating a new identity expensive and difficult. If you create a wallet with coins from another wallet, that's traceable. If you create a wallet with "grey" coins that have been through a mixer, that marks your wallet as suspicious. If you create a wallet with "white" coins, with fully traceable provenance, that's expensive.
> HIPAA can't be easily pronounced

Most people don't seem to agree with you.

> People pronounce CIA letter by letter.

It's only three letters, it's hard to know what sound the C would make, and pronouncing an acronym with only one consonant is a bit iffy for clarity. Those are small factors but they add up.

HIPAA has the double A acting against pronouncing it, but everything else pushes toward pronouncing and not worrying about that part.
Apple didn't claim that was the plan at the time. No law stops them from encrypting backups anyway.
There's always the CMBR rest frame.
Poem and axum seem to be new frameworks - both have the lowest downloads on https://www.arewewebyet.org/topics/frameworks/. I'm not too familiar with the Rust web ecosystem (only knew about actix and rocket before this), so is any one of them looking likely to become a dominant player in the future?

On the Node side I really like the batteries-included and opinionated approach of NestJS (which is modelled after Angular and inspired by Spring I think) and I think something similar on the Rust side would do very well.
So you want to use less concrete
That's not what happened in the UK. There was demand for a lot of truck drivers, in the past there were a lot of immigrants who would work for low wages, but they brilliantly cut off those workers, suddenly they were not enough truck drivers. There hasn't really been this big "I am anti-vax mandate and I'm not working thing" that some people are fantasizing about.
> Right?

No.

> Let's say I send you $100 USDT and Osama Bin Laden sends you $100 USDT. Then you send Justin Beiber $100 USDT and keep the remaining $100 USDT.

That's a misconception, you can do that exact same thing with Bitcoin and you are left with the same question. Bitcoin outputs can be combined into a single output (and they routinely are). See this diagram: http://syskall.com/bitcoin-notes/svg/transaction.svg

Even Ethereum's rationale acknowledges that Bitcoin's UTXO model provides a higher degree of privacy: https://eth.wiki/fundamentals/design-rationale
Free society means limited government, and the only way for the government to be in favor of that is for the government to vote against its own interests.

I would argue that a free society protects people’s rights, and this is impossible without a strong government. As for voting against its own interests, the government in a true democracy is quite literally the will of the people. We get what we vote for. So if people in general are unhappy with the outcome it is democracy itself that has broken down. The solution to a broken democratic process is not to limit the consequences of that process by shrinking government, it is to fix what’s broken in the first place. In a healthy democracy the government will take up only the responsibilities people want it to take up, and no more than that.
Right, the blackhole collapse is spacelike separated from us so not really in our past.

You can buy H11s on eBay. I have an H11 and H11a + the pair of 8" floppies. I need to 'find the time' to get them running RT. It's a 'well-documented LSI-11' pretty much, I'd say. You should pick one up & restore it! And bring it to VCF (East / West / or wherever they are being held).
Last time I used internet, it was exploited by large, nearly unchecked, profit optimizing corporations. Where’s the socialism?
I don’t really have any outstanding objections to the goals of Unison, it is just focused on paths through the PL design space I am not particular deep into. My hobby language is a multi-modal, multi-type system,‘concatenative’ language. So my tastes and interests are pretty far away from where Unison is experimenting. But varying paths travelled hopefully lead us to a more diverse and productive place for everyone.
TCP/IP doesn't have prescriptive biases towards authentication and identity.
Can you point to some sources about this?
I agree, not sure why you are down voted because you make valid points.

I can't think of any big public disastrous rewrites except for maybe frontend ones like Digg or enterprise modernizations for example when the government wanted to get rid of their 60s mainframes and the effort cost billions and was ultimately unsuccessful.
I can’t comment on America, but when I lived in Amsterdam everyone I knew used an app called Buienradar for this exact use case. The accuracy was astonishing.
> E2EE is actually a boon to NSO and friends.

I think you're right, but I don't think it's due to some first principles contradiction between E2EE and exploits as much as it is largely a historical anomaly that customers have looked to service providers for security. The track record shows pretty clearly that the service provider's interest in customer security only goes as far as not to be reputationally damaging - we've seen plenty of communications companies actively helping authorities to spy on their own customers.

> If iMessage weren't E2EE it would be very easy for Apple to implement a heuristic to look for suspicious messages

Indeed, it would at the very least be easier, but let's assume Apple did have this capability. The first order of priority would be stopping spam, which is orders of magnitude more common and problematic than targeted exploits. Simply taking a look at the app store kind of shows their ambition level. At best, Apple is going to want to be "more secure than Android", but beyond that.. it's simply not gonna be a priority (and Apple is even one of better ones).

> NSO sometimes goes on years exploiting the same iOS bugs before Apple figures them out

Yes, but I think this is temporary. Citizen Labs have been shortening this round trip time enormously simply by having analysis or software deployed on likely targets' devices. CrowdStrike and similar security companies operate on a similar model, acting as a counter-surveillance trusted third party. On medium-term time scales, I think such models are more ethical, have a superior incentive structure and, most importantly, will prove to be more effective than the usual half-assed service provider solutions. At least, I hope I'm right.
Can you link to learning resources?
Well that raises the nutjob factor considerably. The core ideas are interesting, it’s a shame some of the authors overreach so much.

Even this terrible concept has a "Defense" section in Wikipedia. Did you read it?
I would love to switch to a fully open environment once it's available, but I think you're overstating the trouble with running LineageOS or other non-spyware ROMs.

Reasons to favour custom ROMs over Linux phones as a daily driver, at the moment:

- You get to pick between dozens of recent devices, many with flagship specs. (Note that the "official" device list only refers to the ones the core team approved, there are many more that stay "unofficial" for a year or more before getting accepted, but still work quite fine.) Other ROMs like Graphene are more limited, but an old Pixel is still way more powerful than a Pinephone.

- Basically everything that a mainstream Android can do works fine on custom ROMs. Exceptions tend to be big tech stuff like Google Pay which you probably don't want anyway if you're into privacy, or occasional bugs with specific models (under-screen fingerprint readers are a common one)

- As an actual consideration, the security model of Android is actually IMO miles ahead of Linux (assuming the mobile version copied the desktop in that regard). Apps are strongly sandboxed by default and there are plenty of tools to exert even more control, eg TrackerControl or Netguard to firewall them by domain, or Island/Insular to basically chroot them. On desktop OSes, including most Linux distro
s, user apps have e.g. access to all of the user's files by default, which would be terrifying in the context of a phone.

(I imagine you already know most of that, I'm just laying out my reasoning for the same target audience as the OP's 'just install Termux' comment)
I don't think this is true. General relativity says that time slows down under greater gravitational forces. This has been experimentally proven. Therefore clocks at different elevations run at different speeds.
These mergers are getting ridiculous. Where is the antitrust investigation? Surely some heavenly body should have oversight.
No, they don't do that check, that is the problem.
If this bill passes, it will only weaken America's position as leader in the Internet space. The world will eventually benefit from that weakening. We will route around America.
My wife's phone (different make) also suffers from a similar issue.

Btw mines a Nokia and hers a Google, priced mid range.
When you make online transactions sitting in a cafe you feel safe in sending websites your credit card. This admittedly requires _some_ optimism but it would be surprising if someone in that cafe could break TLS.

Systems like zcash and monero are similar: if you don't trust the cryptography then they're not useful, but it seems like a strange objection to say somebody could do unsavory things if they could break the cryptography, that's what it's for!
I just used the chat to cancel my subscription and they waived the early-cancellation fee without any issues. Maybe its some sort of damage control.
What hardware are you running on?
It does seem pretty clear that just like Trump in the US attracted all the haters, racists and Nazis and their adjacent friends (which wasn't the same thing as his massive support among the angry working class white cohort), this protest is doing the same in Canada. And now you have this weird thing that American far right-wingers like DeSantis are jumping on the bandwagon and trying to pull their fake "working people 10-4 good buddy" street cred instead of the racist Nazi street cred.
Do you do a-b testing? I think one reason people keep asking, is because most answers are opinions and anecdotes.

Especially something like remarketing must be hard to do a-b testing on, as the control group is basically not tracked/targetet at all.
Oh yeah, I used to do that quite a lot. At first, just a docx file of random jumbled characters was enough, as everyone was used to compatibility issues around the Office 2003 -> 2007 migration. After everyone moved on to 2007, corrupting the file and saying "I did it on a Mac" was a common excuse, since everyone knew the Mac version of Office was kind of trash. I figured out a way to get Office to give you the "corrupted file, attempting repair" dialog and have it actually succeed, but then the contents was just random unicode with a couple sentences from Wikipedia in between, so it looked like there was something there, but the auto repair couldn't quite recover it.

Teaching others to do this, even classmates teachers knew I wasn't friends with, meant that there wasn't a pattern for them to see and so they never suspected we were faking it. They just assumed "it's just a thing that happens sometimes".
It is computed, that eleven thousand persons have, at several times, suffered death, rather than submit to break their eggs at the smaller end.
I irregularly clean out my spam folder, and it's rare, but I do catch the odd legitimate email in there. But last month I was nearly caught out by a dumb phishing attempt.

There was an ex of mine who would quite regularly send nonsense cutesy videos to a bcc list including my own email. However, one email I spotted in spam had a personal message and a bitly shortcode.

I forgot to check the sender domain, it was something like my-ex@i-phone-asia.pk... I was very very nearly about to click on that link, doubting the spam filter could effectively tell a phishing attempt from a tidal wave of internet forwarded garbage.
It’s not worth it to pirate Adobe products... in India. I’m not sure how this story translates to countries that don’t have anti-piracy mobs that raid offices.
Nobody cares about your privacy except insofar as they can monetize caring about your privacy
I wouldn't self host a mail server, I'd go with a hosted option. Often you get one free with your domain registration anyway.
Finally checked this out - really, REALLY great site. I put it aside for so long because I rarely have use for these things over Excel, ggplot, or GSheets, but this is a great product with a solid niche. We'll definitely be using the free version and eyeing the premium tier later this year.

Hats off to you.
It's amazing to me how much the open source community accomplishes that huge corporations with billions of dollars can't even get close to. Thanks to all the open source contributors who give their spare time to make improvements for everybody.
The perils of start codes (2019)
You and the receiver are in a business relationship. AT&T, through its “arbitrary” blocklist, is getting in the way. Without further justifications (and “oh it’s the algorithm” is not enough!) they are interfering with your business relationship.

That’s what tortuous interference is, getting in the way of third parties doing business. You could argue about technical details around the server but a judge will properly understand the social constructs at play.
Nokia X20, my wife has a Google (not sure which model) that suffers the same. In fact her previous Google also failed with the proximity test... Which is why I'm thinking there's a fundamental problem with Android rather than just poor hardware.
Sure. Im more inclined to agree with the other comment that says its ignorant to privacy. But let's say you're right.

When designing the web 3.0, wouldn't you say one of the most important things would be avoiding the privacy pitfalls of 2.0?
And rsync is a replacement for GDrive, Dropbox, etc. But hmm...
It's a slightly older Synology 1817+, 8 bay, all filled with smaller older drives... 24TB RAID6. It's powered by a UPS and I set it to put the disks to sleep to reduce power consumption.

That's the basics... Beyond that, everything is disabled that was shipped with it except Windows and Apple file sharing locally.

Then I've installed the SynoCommunity version of SyncThing.

I have multiple users in the house and each person has a folder on the NAS which is their home network share and only accessible to them (and me as server admin)... things like Time Machine will have this as their backup drive and they can also dump larger files there. Within each person's network share is a directory that is mapped to SyncThing. On each of their laptops their folder is also on a local SyncThing. This means there's a shared folder on their laptop and network share which SyncThing will keep in Sync when off of the LAN, and when on the LAN they can use any computer to access the folder via network. But mostly, locally on their laptop they just work on local files and don't have to think about how it all keeps in sync.

Finally I make a cold backup once a month to an 18TB HDD USB drive which I store outside of the house except for this once per month task. This is backup via rsync.

That's it. Fairly simple. I only use a NAS for file storage and SyncThing, nothing else.
You mean if we would have end to end encryption for other iCloud data. The client side scanning system ruled out end to end encryption for photos.

Other companies have end to end encryption. Can you cite a case where a court found them liable for child pornography?
I gave drop shipping a try at one point, just to learn something about the internet.

It more or less paid for itself, without much profit, using just FB ads. So basically if some amateur can break even with barely any understanding of how it works, someone with proper marketing experience can probably do well enough to make a living.

The thing is the purchase rate was something like 1%. So it may well be that most people by far never buy anything via ads, but the minority is enough to make it worthwhile.
