The situation is a bit more nuanced, given the large feature set that Matrix is trying to implement.

> Break one key, and all messages will be accessible to an attacker.

How do you propose breaking that one key, though? The attacker also needs to somehow acquire access to the key backup and to the encrypted messages, so it's a multi-step process.

The encryption protocol does rotate message keys. In fact it uses the same cryptographic primitives as Signal, that is the double ratchet algorithm.

I think you're conflating the message encryption protocol with cold storage, which is the purpose the key backup serves. It's completely typical for backups to be encrypted with a single symmetric key.

Finally, the key backup is completely optional and can be disabled.
Hey, you’re free to file freely via mail all you want—I get Intuit is a problem, but I choose $40 as an easy way to double check my work and that’s it. Its the US, freedom above sense sometimes, whatever.
That unique experience is hard to find, though, especially as one gets older, I find. Once you've been to a handful of cities, you've kind of seen them all. If you live near a major city it's even worse because chances are you've seen most of what it has to offer, and if you visit another city somewhere else in the world it's like "Oh, yeah... more museums... more theme parks... more bars and clubs... another beach... some skyscrapers... street food... people who don't speak my language... I should have stayed home." I know it's not like that for everyone, but that's essentially why I don't always like traveling and why it annoys me when people tell me I should get out more and travel.

When I travel, either I want people or I want solitude. Most of my enjoyment from traveling comes from seeing family and friends, and it really doesn't matter that much where we're situated. But if I have neither, then being in a sea of people is really worse than just being at home. In that case, I want to be alone, and I can easily get that by driving 1.5 hours into the mountains where I live.

Travel isn't a bad thing, in fact it can be a great thing. My problem is that we've made travel out to be a grandiose life achievement. In the near past and for millennia, humans spent most if not their entire lives in one place, and there's nothing wrong with that.
My dad was both a workaholic plus extremely, extremely, frugal despite being pretty successful. Frugal cars, frugal homes, frugal vacations, avoiding eating out, etc. The idea was that he'd work and save hard through his working years, then enjoy retirement to the fullest. He and my mom were looking forward to traveling the world, etc.

Then right before he retired he got something called IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). While not life threatening, it reduced his quality of life significantly as well as sending him into depression. While he is a lot better both physically and mentally now. I would say he is 90%+ recovered in both aspects. But the damage is done, and he is now almost a homebody watching movies and Youtube all day because he fears not being close to the bathroom for extended periods (specifically, a comfortable home bathroom, not a public toilet). His lifelong golf hobby is effectively gone too.

Needless to say, I was raised to be frugal, which I always resisted. But after seeing what happened to my dad (and as a result, mom too), that resistance has turned into a fuck no. I certainly don't advocate splurging above your means, but I do advocate living life to the fullest, even if that means spending substantial money.

Other than going back to visit family in Korea a few times, my mom has never ventured outside the US northeast. My wife and I have made it a point to take her on a plane trip once a year since my dad can't, and she has been absolutely thrilled.

Bought my dad his dream car (a V8 BMW 5-series) because he still can't break out of his frugal mindset despite being financially well-off. Got yelled at for not being frugal and spending money when I gave it to him, but in spite of that he absolutely loves driving it.
I've used my sansa clip since, 2009? It just works. It works in the rain, in my woodshop, in the basement, on a plane, everywhere. The battery takes a couple hours to charge, and lasts for weeks.

And you can load so many songs on it that the shuffle feature is just as good as a streaming service.
Reading in detail what it actually entails to be completely paraplegic is quite an eye-opening experience.

I think a lot of people don't really see past the wheelchair, I certainly didn't for a long time. Some people try as an educational experience to live for a day in a wheelchair, but that's easy, spending a whole day sitting down is something desk workers do anyway. It's a completely different thing if you don't get to use any core muscles. I wanted to try that, but couldn't go even ten seconds without cheating. Even with all kinds of assistive technology it's extremely hard. Also the lack of bowel control must be a total nightmare.

The whole "paraplegics can do anything, they're just like you and me" schtick that normal people are fed is a nice coping mechanism, but I think it may be holding back funding for research into real solutions.
We have nothing to talk about. When you have two options you have an illusion of choice. It is a duopoly in the corporate world. A 'competition' they love and enrich each other with.

Just look at the way they have change labels on all sides. 'Far' right, 'Progressive', 'conservative', not worth a word more. It gives the two 'parties' more worth in the purpose their words have than trying to understand the inflections a dog makes as a complete sentence.

Yes, ideas have meaning and somethings politicians say actually represent them. Apart from that nearly worthless sentance.. I can't tell you the last time I voted for someone and had a realistic means to contact them about some issue.

The last time I contacted my senator was while I paid international call rates and when I asked for a reply on the issue the representative actually laughed at me and said no. We can't do that and this phone call has gone on three minuets longer than the average. I have many other people waiting sir! So what is the point? They literally can't pay staff to reply to my question. What is the senator view on issue X?

Worthless elected leaders.
You could tell me BMW's ship without turn signals and I'd believe you.
My theory is that too many of the “wrong” people got rich, so the luxury industry and media worked together to increase consumption and funnel the nouveau rich money to the “right” wealthy people.
> Should we be introducing these things into the water supply like fluoride?

Absolutely not. Not all types of diets need fiber for your digestive system to function properly.
I think the article's points about 'status' apply more to 'status among your peers', yes.
This is me to be honest. There are so many things we can do, but it seems we are focusing on thing that may only have superficial benefits.
People don't like the prospect of issues in certain orbits for the benefit of a billionaire or research satellites getting destroyed or worse if stuff does ever go wrong. If Europes ESA and china's CNSA both complain about having to do manoeuvrers it's easy to see who most will side with.
I am living near a medium sized city in Germany; here journalists from the local newspaper are very present at events, may they be cultural or political. A few days ago an incident made international headlines. After a few hours the place where the incident happend was full of journalists.
In the current economy the funding of these types of projects is usually not the bottleneck. It's finding the people and achieving the actual scientific / engineering breakthroughs. The marginal return on more money is pretty insignificant for that. If you just threw a ton of money at it much of it would probably be splurged or straight away misappropriated. Then you'll get a whole lot of terrible press, undermining other scientific funding and putting the politicians reelection at risk.
Ask HN: Recording a Browsing Session?
Is there a good way to store and access browsing sessions?

When I search the internet for something, I usually never find one good answer, but bits and pieces of it in multiple webpages. I sometimes use a bookmark to mark the pages, and sometimes use a web-clipper. But I'd like to have something that does both and let me record my thoughts/comments along with it.

How do you go about this? Is there a method or a workflow you follow? Or a tool that helps you?
Cinny is close, but it still lacks a few features. For example it understands spaces, but can't create them.
Awesome! I'd love to see you put them to clever use.
The DTC brands like Ten Thousand you mention are not likely "single impression" funnels, though. You might have only ever seen them on Instagram, but like you say you got dozens of impressions.
I feel like TikTok is significantly underdiscussed, almost like the tech and business press are assuming it's a flash-in-the-pan more similar to Snapchat than Facebook. It is almost certainly having a major impact on the business of some of the most prominent publicly traded companies in the US, yet there are just a handful of articles discussing their impact on Facebook's disastrous quarterly results.
We both just laughed
Infographic is outdated and borderline propaganda.

The war with China has started. SMIC is shut to outsiders. Hong Kong fell to China. Taiwan is expected to fall next.

So what's going down? Everyone getting into the chip game because they must.

Europe’s Chip Act, Infineon is building chips in Germany

Chips for USA Act hasn't quite passed yet. Biden issued an executive order that is unchallenged by anyone. US sanctioned SMIC.

Samsung will be building a fab in Taylor Texas near to Austin. Intel will be building 2 fabs in Arizona(RISCV!)

Samsung obviously also building much more in Korea.

TSMC is building a fab in Japan with Sony. Everyone hoping the fabs in taiwan don't fall. Really good chance those fabs will be destroyed if China moves on them.

India is blowing up big time with fabs.

The number of secret fabs is surprising as well. Tons of them popping up in the midwest, primarily sourcing for the automotive industry. Makes sense to keep them quiet because it seems there's lots of fabs catching fire or being hacked and shutdown. Oh the nature of war...
We should be aware that any free app that we can use has its business model or any method that somehow benefits the company.
I'm not aware of _anyone_ releasing such data in a way. Not that I have been looking that closely for it (so I certainly could have missed this!).

This is another major regulatory failure. Government should lay out the minimum data that the companies must publish, so we can get a better idea of their performance. (It's still a chicken and egg scenario though. You can't get that kind of data anywhere but on public roads in uncontrolled environments.)

Well I'd call that institutional money. 'Writers have to pay' makes it sound like they're paying from their own personal cash.
It's not unclear at all. It's Chinese data harvesting software. They'll do token public appeasement to avoid negative pressure, but every feature in the app is designed to collect biometrics and behavioral data.

China is not a good faith operator. Given the data needed to influence public opinion and voting, they will engage in manipulation favorable to their interests. That alone is sufficient to run tiktok at a loss, but the market manipulation possible, advertisement platform potential, and other monetization makes it look like just another app.

Google's been caught red handed deliberately manipulating political content.

https://mygoogleresearch.com/

The idea that tiktok isn't used for the same type of manipulation is dangerously naive.

There's a need for social media manipulation watchdogs that can monitor content being delivered to different users so the companies and countries involved can be held accountable.

It's sad that a massively scaled invasion of privacy can only be countered by more surveillance. Because of the ephemeral nature of tiktok interactions, the only way to combat manipulation is to surveil the content being delivered to user feeds and compare subsequent opinion poling and purchases.
Neither will you read the article, which is certainly not about water reclamation. (Other than the water saved by peeing into freshwater less.) Surely if it seems natural not to shit where we eat, it's reasonable to think about strategies not to piss where we drink - you seem eager enough to keep the two separate.

Maybe someday. I wouldn’t want to share it without finding time to write a few paragraphs. This community is really great and I don’t want to criticize without context. HN also over-represents one engineering discipline and one region.

I don’t know how to summarize my feelings, but I work in aerospace, primarily in hardware, in Asia, often as a manager. I see a lot of comments that simplify and often criticize those topics based on the simplification. I’ve also said “just do this” to software engineers so I want to emphasize that this is not a dig at certain types of engineers or people but maybe most of us can do better at recognizing where our expertise starts and stops.
I think one of the dangers is that it will ultimately lead to discontent, and all of the consequences of that.
We have a TON of this kind of catch-22 in the US. Capitalism and all; you can choose the free complicated way or the not-free easy way. You’re still free to complain about either. If I had my way, we’d do a progressive flat-tax; going as high as 75% for anyone making more than 1 million a year with NO returns or deductions whatsoever—-I’m sure you’d happily call me a socialist dunce if I proposed that though.
>difference between ARM and Risk-V?

Which is the problem often with these sort of discussion. ARM of what ( You didn't state its version ) ? RISC-V of what? The ISA in itself? Or the actual implementation in itself. If it is implementation, which implementation? And by difference, what sort of difference, what kind of performance are you specifically looking at? Or you just want a GB5 result? ( One could argue there are compiler differences in GB5 results )

The only undisputed truth would be RISC-V at its bare minimum has smaller instruction than any ARM variation currently on the market. But then its competitor should have been something like Arc, and not ARM.
This is by design. Paper straws are meant to distract your limited focus from things that actually matter.
Isn’t reddit already doing this with NFTs and a secondary market? And I think it’s not working out so great.

Edit: I can’t for the life of me find the link but I swear there was an article posted to HN in the last week or so about Reddit giving mods an exclusive NFT or token of some sort that the mods were then selling for significant sums.
Could, for example, OSHA regulations prevent SpaceX employees from traveling on a rocket with unsafe working conditions? Is there anything that would exempt workers on the way to Mars from the same safety requirements that apply to the people who build the rockets?
"If you’re curious why unionization has taken the journalism world by storm the last few years, you don’t have to look to politics or in-group signaling for an explanation, basic economics will get you all the way there.... You reduce quantity of labor supplied and end up with higher equilibrium wages for those who manage to get their foot in the door. Of course, this will only heighten the favoring of those who can get their foot in the $3200/mo Brooklyn rent door while dressing fashionably and using “semiotics” correctly in a sentence, but that’s neither here nor there."

This is a cute theory, and tickles some people's ideological fancy. But if the author had done more research, they would know where the CWA-NewsGuild is actually doing most of its new organizing (hint: not New York), what sorts of contract articles they bargain around hiring, and what the status quo in non-union newsrooms is.

In brief, the Guild has been organizing tons of local newspapers in small cities and rural areas, particularly those bought up by private equity firms who want to cut the newsroom to the bone. They bargain contract articles that curb the nepotistic in-group hiring practices common at non-union papers.

Source: I'm a former NewsGuild member, but at a software company, not a newspaper.

Take a gander at the NewsGuild president's twitter account and you'll see many examples of these campaigns: https://twitter.com/gaufre
"Extraordinary claims without evidence or rationale are bogus" as a heuristic seems pretty good to me?

When presented with a problem and infinite solutions, you need to start narrowing down which paths to investigate somehow. Come back with evidence and the conversation goes further.
there is a distance beyond which radio signal decays into background noise.

And even on the edge of it you are talking about enormous receivers to capture those transmissions.

When looking into scales of universe its truly staggering how vast distances we are talking about.
I don’t understand how reporters apparently don’t advocate for higher taxes. Wealth tax has been a radar on political reporting beat for ages. Elizabeth Warren campaigned on it and tons of ink was spilled analyzing on if it would work, how it would work, and headlines made over bill gates being “scared” of it or whatever.

Additionally, it can be true that one endowment to a charity can keep the charity perpetual while also criticizing that charity overall is not a sustainable model of good in society broadly. One of the things that come to mind is that a billionaire is unlikely to fund an anti-billionaire charity, for example a charity for renters rights and renter organization Eg. Rent strikes and the like.
That deck is so well done, the way it lays things out about Foley and how he ran the business is a great teaching moment for people in any business. It does a great job of showing what red flag type statements and behavior to look out for in leaders.
As someone who grew up far outside of London and then moved here, there's a very distinctive provincialism in Londoner's attitudes as well. People who grew up here struggle to imagine a life outside the city - let alone imagine that it could be as good or better than life in London. I hope my son doesn't end up with that mindset, but I wouldn't be surprised if he does.

Of course, that same locally-exceptionalist attitude is everywhere if you look for it. As well as source of dismissal, it can also be a source of energy and local vibrancy. I'd much rather live somewhere people did like living than didn't (I've done both).
Exactly. That way we can create a storage server out of any random drives we have lying around as well as slowly expand its capacity without having to rebuild the whole thing. I think this capability is vital for people who can't immediately spend thousands of dollars on equipment.
Could be fsck or could be searching the whole drive for media files to index it every time it's inserted or the system rebooted. I guess a reasonable test of which without better access to the thing would be to have two drives of the same size with one mostly full and one mostly empty.

I drive a 2016 CX-5 with the stock in-dash software. If I'm bored enough at some point I might test the hypothesis on that.

Just to clarify: the statement is not that you could encode those existing 2000 private keys with one short seed (you cannot, indeed), but rather that you could easily and safely generate 2000 distinct private keys from one relatively short seed.

Technically, yes.

But my kid's Kindle not being able to access Xhamster is not what most people have in mind when we talk about censorship.
Well it's no different now than it ever was. If you want free news, you could get that back in the day, there were these terrible free newspapers. If you wanted a real newspaper you had to pay. So can still get somewhat better news on the Wall Street Journal, but for a price.
Per the geekwire article linked above, one of the local Mazda dealerships blamed 5G for causing the issue. Apparently that's the popular thing to do these days.

Tangentially related, an old ham radio operator related his advice for putting up an antenna on your house: "Put the antenna up, but don't connect it to anything for a few weeks. Don't even run the cable yet. When people complain about it making their fillings vibrate or garage door open or whatever, you can show them that it isn't even connected to anything. This helps filter out the people who have nothing better to do than to complain."

Doesn't RAID5 have the exact same property as RAID4? With a healthy array in both cases, the XOR of all disks should be zero.

I don't think subst is a good idea for security purposes. You can't hide the original drive, some tools look right trough it, and UNC path names allow other ways.

Windows has the concepts of window stations and sessions. One of these 2 is the namespace for drive letters, as it allows different rdp users to have their own network drives, and also give services their own security context . Take sysinternals winobj to look around. Maybe you can build something chrootlike out of it, I dont really know, I am a bit out of my depth here.

I used to work in the textbook industry.

I’m going back to school.

My networking course recently changed from CCNA to CompTIA network plus content.

I complained that I pay tuition and my coursework labs and tests for over 85% of the marks, are all done via CompTIAs cloud service. And this costs over $200.

On top of this, CompTIA charges the school thousands of dollars a year for the right to teach their content.

So I quit. If I wanted my network + cert, I’d self study and take the tests myself.
