This looks great! I thought the admin design was great
I often wonder what the world would be like if apple had gone through with it (I am definitely not advocating for it, but wondering what the trade offs would be on the other side of the rollout).

Specifically, I wonder if we would’ve gotten an end to end encrypted iCloud as a result of client side csam scanning.

Right now there’s absolutely no path to end to end encrypted cloud for google and apple. Someone new could try to do it but there would have to be some way to do csam scanning or you’d be violating strict liability. Something like what apple did, effectively client side tagging and server side cryptographically probabilistic scanning, seems like the only way to accomplish this while staying in line with the government asks.

The problem, of course, is that apple is working against a corpus that is hidden.

I’m not sure what the right answer here. It’s an intellectually interesting problem with a lot of policy wrinkles.
This sort of discussion never goes well, but using GoFundMe to finance occupations, especially across national borders, is an incredibly dangerous game.

If a GoFundMe to harrass and harangue Ron DeSantis -- to effectively sponsor people to park outside his home and blast horns, among other things -- would he be okay with that? How about if Canadians paid millions for people to park on US interstates? Is that okay?

This is entirely outside of the mission of GoFundMe. And it's interesting how exactly the same group of people lamenting the paying of bail for BLM protesters are falling in line with rights for this trucker group to harass and occupy Canadian cities.
If I unsubscribed that already told you I didn’t want you sending me emails. Your attitude is the very reason I use “Hide My Email”.
What does "prepare to reap what you sow" mean? I'm baiting you btw.
$5 a month doesn’t seem like it would work out economically with the price of GPUs. Why not buy a powerful computer and finance it?
> people who mistake infotainment for science. There is no attention paid to the actual claims

More than anything, this is what I generally promote - focus on the actual claims. I personally try really hard to ignore someone's character and address their core points instead. I think this is generally a good principle. Although it can be exhausting on random non-HN internet discussion boards, where nuanced replies and principle of charity are drowned by zero effort parroting.

That is unfortunately a common theme with most reporting I've seen of this drama. The stories contain vague statements like "misinformation about covid" but no actual claims are pointed out and then refuted. It's like these outlets are so afraid of this misinformation that they think even mentioning these claims would be harmful. The less charitable interpretation would of course be that most outlet reporters haven't even watched the podcast.

> there is an exclusive focus on individual personalities, appeals to authority and storytelling

This is a strategy heavily promoted by pro-vax tribes. Don't listen to random influencers, listen to doctors. It's also something that has been used heavily against Joe Rogan. Criticism that he has non-experts on the show talking outside of their expertise. Now when Joe Rogan got an actual MD on his show, whose life work has extreme relevance to covid - well the appeal to authority story has suddenly vanished. Most coverage of this drama doesn't list Malone's achievements at all, probably because then they couldn't get away with just handwaving away what he says. Most stories focus on Joe Rogan personally, as if he's the one making the statements.

> So is Malone right [? ...] Do you personally believe these things?

He's probably right about some things like corners being cut against protocol with the Pfizer approval. He's probably wrong about vaccines making infections worse. However I don't really have strong opinions on the points Malone is making. I'm participating in this discussion because of the bigger picture.

What I take issue with is the manufactured and/or sloppy coverage of this. Malone's achievements shouldn't be pushed under the rug. His expertise shouldn't be hidden. If he has gone crazy in old age, so be it. However that case should then be made in strength. Instead the narrative is that Joe Rogan spreads misinformation and Malone is just another garden variety conspiracy nut.
This approach worked fabulously in North Korea, Iran, Cuba.

That's not even how a precedent works.
They will ban the LLC and any/all employees in it. Google follows the "connected account" policy where they will ban any related accounts.

One of my colleague got his account banned when he lent his laptop to his acquaintance who had a banned play dev account.
I've been eyeing this as well but it looks like neither DMARC or DKIM is supported on the family plan. Anyone know a way around that issue?
> If you are vaccinated, you are done with the pandemic. Morally, ethically, and practically. You should be allowed to return to actual, pre-pandemic normal. End of story.

What if you have children who are not yet eligible for the vaccine?
That "workaround" instructs you to use "v=DMARC1; p=none;" for your dmarc record. I'm not sure if Microsoft actually requires this, maybe it's because it doesn't support DKIM, but setting your dmarc policy to none disables SPF checks and is an extremely bad idea.
I would answer that it's centered in a few major cities. The big problem with Canada is that political power is so concentrated in Montreal, Toronto, and to a lesser extent Ottawa and Vancouver that the views of the rest of the country are ignored, so there is not really an escape. It would be like if all US government policy was set by the Bay Area and NYC
I will get "downvoted" into oblivion, but dear god does no one want to write a small blog/page anymore? I read so many "this is super interesting useful information" blurbs about contracts, laws, etc, but they are in the smallest possible digestions given to us by twitter.

Either "when did I get so bitter" or "when did the web go to hell" thoughts enter my mind.
Even if you are vaccinated you can still get sick. The chances are reduced, but you can still end up in hospital, you could still die.

If enough people still get sick at once there could still be a collapse in a local health system due to overloading.

Given the uncertainty with new variations of COVID isn't it better to err on the side of caution and try to protect both the health systems and as many people at once?
Hey, Lee from Vercel. We believe in both React and Svelte equally, and personally I'm also extremely excited about SvelteKit. Both React and Svelte can be successful, it's not a zero-sum game :)
Everywhere, albeit to varying levels. Canada's healthcare is a joke; it's 'free', but it's a joke. And the highest possible pension payout wouldn't pay half my rent today.

If you have the opportunity to move the US and have your employer pay for your healthcare, your quality of life and income will be much, much higher than you could ever expect in Canada. The main thing is that incomes in the US, especially for tech, are much, much higher while cost of living is lower.

> There is absolutely no need to put an unsubscribe link into a transactional email.

Agreed. rsync alluded to it below as well.

'unsubscribe'... from what? If I just bought something from service ABC, and I get an email from ABC saying "you just bought foo from us"... what would an 'unsubscribe' even mean? "Do not ever email me about this purchase again?" "Do not ever email me about future purchases?"
Why doesn't Microsoft do this themselves? They've larded up Windows with tons of worthless crap, so clearly they have a lot of time of their hands. Why not give the user something useful for once, something that OS X users have had for decades?

Is the company full of morons, or do they just not see what's in it for them? That is, why bother helping the user if it won't necessarily make them $$$?

Sad as they are, I find these little details fascinating. They really show how unimaginative and short-term oriented giant public tech companies often are.

Apple ruining the MBP in 2016, only to walk back pretty much everything they did 6 years later, is another great example.
A good cause would be a public health initiative.
A different perspective on the source of funds (ignore the clickbait at the top of the article and search down for “suspect”): https://www.nationalobserver.com/2022/02/04/opinion/startlin...
That is not what is happening though. The article says, all the money is refunded to all the donors.
Fear of nuclear tech contributed to this sequence of decisions.

It is an old German (and Austrian) problem, which actually predates Chernobyl by at least a decade. Targeted Soviet propaganda might have played a role; Soviets were very interested in getting Allied nuclear weapons out of West Germany. Spreading all kinds of FUD about the "Atom" in general was a way to cultivate public opinion towards that goal.
I still remember when they didn't even give me an option to cancel my subscription from the website (because of my location). Instead, I had to contact tech support and ask them to cancel my subscription. IIRC, the first time I tried, it was around 1AM, so no tech support, so I had to wait til the next day, but it was until a couple of days later that I actually did.

This is when I started to dislike Adobe. At least a very good competitor surfaced recently, Affinity, and they have a pretty good Photoshop and Illustrator alternative. I just wish that they would make a Lightroom alternative, which is not on their roadmap.
That was not their original plan. They saw the pushback coming from many fronts.
Thanks for sharing (Impressive spreadsheet formatting skills. You ever thought about using airtable though?)

Quick question - where does the average score come from? I didn't see a source.
You may have missed that bit in my earlier comment about working for a paid service provider.
1. I'm curious: why do you believe every individual human should be forced to/be free to (same thing here!) judge each piece of content for themselves? Why is it morally right to let millions of people be deceived, when you know they'll be deceived?

2. On a rather related front: what do you think is the key differentiating factor that explains why humans (homo sapiens) have so devastatingly outstripped all ecological competitors?

My personal answer to question 2 explains why I have my doubts about all too rigidly accepting your moral thesis here. I mean, I accept and support the idea that honest debate can help surface tricky truths - and that in that context debate must be free, but not that all speech should be promoted unconditionally. That's harmful, and the only reason we're even talking about that is because as a society we've come to see the first amendment not merely as a tool to constrain an overly powerful, potentially abusive government, but as an axiom of patriotic identity. The first amendment is not perfect, and even if it were, it should not be applied blindly to every situation, nor should it replace all other social norms about honesty and truth.
You might be shocked at how unreasonably repressive a lot of standard condo and apartment rules can be. I worked in the industry and recall one building where every unit had a really nice balcony, but they were almost all empty and unused because the rules were so strict.

But in practice, I think most of these types of rules are rarely if ever enforced.
CRT and banning firearms... sounds like a really awful attempt at being right-wing.
> >We just need to make political viewpoint a protected class as well.

> I have not gasped at the outlandishness of an HN post in some time.

How else can a democratic republic preserve the diversity of viewpoints required for such a society to function? This really shouldn't be a controversial idea.

Differences of opinion are not only okay, they are essential!

Should a conservative landlord be able to evict anyone who voted for a progressive? Or deny renting in the first place?

> Protected classes exist based on attributes of ourselves which are immutable. You can't change being a woman,

I can't phrase this any less provocatively... Are you saying that all rights against discrimination end if one has a gender transition because it's no longer immutable? I really don't think immutability is the right line to use to decide who gets rights.

Religious belief is protected, and also mutable. Ask me how I know. Political affiliation needs the same protection.
The CEO can also claim credit for the stock price increase and get his bonus. Fixing it would reverse the effect and put the bonus at risk. So not only will such ‘small evils’ become intrenched there is also a powerful insensitive to find even more of them.
It really does seem like the main purpose Bitcoin is succeeding at is sort of a digital gold. It's not good as cash, privacy, or anything else. Lightning seems like a joke compared to the types of efforts happening on Ethereum.

A lot of hate in these comments but I recently played Far Cry 6 on stadia and had a lovely experience. Much cheaper than buying the whole game (I unsubscribed after I finished which was within a months time) and I appreciated being able to play at a higher resolution than my laptop could. Not much worse latency than the lag I had to occasionally deal with playing the game locally (though I'm in europe in a place with quite good internet).
Very interesting that they are completely refunding all of the donors automatically.
Yes, economic interdependence is helpful, but it's most helpful when (a) the dependence is bilateral by having a uniform market like la Communauté Européenne du Charbon et de l'Acier which you alluded to; (b) the market directly relates to materials of war (again, like the CECA); and (c) the war you're trying to avoid is direct and violent, rather than, say, a plausibly deniable false flag operation to annex part of a nearby nation.

Germany can't build steel rifles and tanks to invade France if it needs France to make things out of steel. I don't think it follows that Russia can't annex any European nation's territory if it likes getting money from Germany.
Right. Creating the exception where you scan them prior to uploading/being encrypted would be a workaround prior to encryption and is a crappy compromise, but one seemingly necessary in reality if we don't want cloud providers holding keys to our stuff like they currently have to.
Does it suffer from the Norway problem?
Too little CSF leads to the brain crushing itself under gravity. The brain is almost entirely lipids which contributes to its buoyancy in CSF. Take away too much CSF, nothing for it to float in. Too much CSF? The skull is a fixed volume (in adults) so the CSF compresses the brain tissue. In kids, the sutures or junctions between bones of the skull are still flexible. This allows for childbirth and normal rapid brain growth. It’s easy to tell if there too much fluid around the brain in a newborn because their front soft spot (Fontanelle) will bulge or become firm. A bulging fontanelle also occurs with other pathologies like meningitis.
That it binds to your cell phone number, and that I can't run the web client on an Android tablet (at least the last time I tried).
Regarding [0], it's a pretty broad executive order and Apple might be making the hard decision to block anyone that could possibly have been been in violation of the EO. Some particularly hard things to enforce:

> the following persons are blocked...:

> (v) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly
engaged or attempted to engage in, any of the following:

> (A) actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, stability, or
territorial integrity of Belarus; ... (E) public corruption related to Belarus

> (vi) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material,
or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of,
any activity described in subsections (v)(A)–(E) of this section or any
person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant
to this order; or

> (vii) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to
act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, the Government of Belarus
or any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order.

So, i'm no expert in sanctions, but it seems that anyone who made an app used by Belarusian KGB or other government organization could be sanctioned.

I'm genuinely curious to hear which database is the winner from your perspective based on Jepsen's insight?
I don't know what decade you were born in, but I have cousins aged 18 and 20 that have never been vaccinated because of their mom's political beliefs.
> That seems excessive and abusive

Good thing it's my own mail server then, isn't it?

The practical reason is that virtually all Whois lookups of offending IPs return blocks of /24 or larger, so that's a reasonable default. Besides, as I said, this doesn't result in a "ban", just tags emails as spam and passes them through. At my scale an occasional false positive is not a big deal.
This doesn't always hold.. You might argue that google probably aspired to be a yahoo, but I agree itt's bad to market yourself as a konckoff of something else.
Really? My reading was that the donations will be refunded in their entirety.

I will say that I find GoFundMe's tactics around fees to be distasteful. It's been a while, but I recall having selected a donation amount and then being asked to pay an extra fee "so the charity doesn't have to bear this burden" or some such thing. Basically they just wanted to increase the donation amount (which increases their fee), and they were using guilt as a tactic.
Do you really want FBI agents to look and share and sell photos of your daughter when she sends it on her iPhone to her boyfriend? Maybe the first iteration just looks at some photos, but in the future there will be even more AI used to detect these kind of photos and send them to government agents for viewing.
Oh I have no doubts whatsoever the volume is low and the messages sent intended to be genuinely important to the vast majority of customers, rsync seems very reputable based on what I've heard over the years on HN.

It's still nice to have granular subscription though even for rare things you think 95% of users may like to hear about e.g. I've been using a similar service since 2015 and I have 0 interest in receiving their downtime or scheduled maintenance notifications as I don't care enough to take a special action for a failed sync or two in the first place so... I don't opt to receive them and I appreciate that option. I don't get the invoices emailed so I haven't had to think about it one way or the other there.
Hop into a lightning channel and then back out in a different address. That should theoretically work to break these heuristic models right?

Exchanges are using software that assigns a threshold to each address' inputs or funds. You can easily trick the threshold.
> they have no replacement for google docs & spreadsheets

I'm happy about this. Those are really complicated apps to support; they'd have to spend a ton of time and money and dedicate new teams to them (even if they "just" hosted OSS alternatives) which would raise the cost of my subscription and take away from their core competency (e-mail). And it may result in proprietary features, making it a lock-in device.
It is a low temperature scandal, and goes into media whenever there is something news worthy.

In Germany it is totally normal that former politicians switch sides and get high profile jobs in private corporations, often as influencers.

Even active MdB / Abgeordnete could earn millions, they only need to publish the rough dimension of their earnings.

As former chancellor, Schröder is granted a free office with Secretary in Berlin payed by taxpayer money about 0.5 M€ annually, and there are initiatives to abolish this service because of his Gazprom connection.

The strong connections between private economy and government is seen as a key success factor for Germany‘s economy, called Deutschland AG in the 1970‘s (Germany PLC).

It depends what you are trying to achieve but there are usually niche corners of any market which are underserved or ignored by the incumbents. While you may never become the top player in the market you can make a decent living in many of these if you find the right corner of the market.

Of course, if your aim is to become a silicon valley bro living on ramen noodles and angel investor tears then you'll need to find a way of disrupting the incumbent, and if your plan is to do the same thing but cheaper you are wasting your time.
Yes, it does pair well. Both are incompetent opinions. I recommend you to read the actual study. It is 62 pages long but just read the conclusions part. You will realize that it is not possible to compress it into a single sentence. Even then this study raises more questions than it answers. This claim by the hospital director lacks basic understanding of statistics - when you population is mostly vaccinated, you will get mostly vaccinated patients. Without knowing exact population differences it is a baseless claim about vaccine effectiveness.
The datepicker widgets are completely useless in dark mode. All the dates except for those of the previous ones are white font colors on a white background. Might want to check that out

In a ship with 20 million parts, 19.9 million can probably be automated, but there’s simply 100k parts that can’t always be fixed 100% in advance.
Now I wonder would it be possible to taint all big players and pool productions by some action? How much would this cost in the end?
In this case, the precedent would be *vaccine mandates*, not government-mandated kale with every meal.

You're conflating mandates for which there are precedents with completely novel and exotic government actions.
