Some more questions to add to this list:
1) Are you short of food or water 2) Are you or your loved ones in constant fear of being enslaved and/or blown to bits 3) Has there been a systematic effort to drive out your culture and replace it with another

I could go on but I think I've made my point. So many people today live in what could only be described as hell. Sitting in the western world with our cushy lives, regardless of how many headlines we read about war, famine, rape and death, it just doesn't really matter to us. It's not our world and it's not our problem. If only we could see things from their perspective. If only we could feel their suffering the way they do, I don't think we could be unhappy for a day in our lives.

But as humans naturally we are never satisfied with where we are and what we have. We always want more. Even when we have enough to eat, we want more. Even when we are surrounded by people who love us, we want more. Even when we have money, we want more.

In many ways I suppose this is both a blessing and a curse. The constant desire to make things better, faster, stronger, and never being satisfied with what we have is what fuels us. Without it we would not have made all the astounding innovations that, to an observer from the past, could only be characterized as magic.
I don't understand your point. In some alternate reality, there could be some IPv4 internet that was centrally managed and contained like 3 routers and 20 total nodes?

Yeah? What does that have to do with anything? The internet became the internet expressly because it wasn't centrally controlled. If it were centrally controlled from the beginning it would never have outgrown IPv4. See also IPX.

If we figure out how to saturate a 10GB link between two threads running on different machines, then there will suddenly be a lot of remakes of old lectures.

> IMHO its better to start with a UI prototype

Right - I am assuming you are comparing to vs. starting with a backend heavy prototype where it could get very expensive before exposing to customers?

Effective as in effective in getting customer feedback as to whether the product makes sense to them?

but what if there were faster, cheaper and effective ways to get customer feedback than a UI prototype for a fresh startup just a few days old?
I think your point is right, but I admit I struggled here. It's trying to constrain the scenario, but it's both too unrealistic and not constrained enough for me to manage. Here's what I was thinking.

First off, torture as far as I understand has way worse outcomes than 75% success, and I don't think information like a full blown confession is very often had. But OK, 75% chance they find out where it is with a definite admission of guilt. No chance they get bad information during torture. Howw long do they do the torture to get that info? 1 minute? 23 hours and 59 minutes? Is that really enough time to dispatch the team? Let's say they have enough time though. The scenario says "if the bomb is found, there's a chance it can be disarmed." What kind of chance? 99%? .00001%? If they fail to disarm it, did you send a team of people off to die with the other 1 million? Or do they evacuate to survive? Is it worth potentially sacrificing more people on the chance you can help then?

It was just too much for me I guess. But truly I agree with you. Maybe over a longer period of time I can think more clearly about it with more constraints to help me.
It's not. For the niche it has found success in (infra type backend stuff), it's by far the best option available. `if err != nil` is a godsend in that world.

We need open-source DIYbio hardware and software for the same reasons as open-source security. This is a good device candidate for development by indie hackers, so that the resulting data samples and analysis are offline-first, with later optional aggregation under user consent.
The simple solution is to provision a VM with your browser of choice and take a snapshot of it. Every time you use it, restore to the "vanilla" snapshot to revert its state.

Latency is as good as you can do when doing peer to peer calls, the trade off is bandwidth (and CPU, but mostly bandwidth).

Latency and non-terminated encryption (end-to-end, not point-to-point) is great, and for calls with 3 or fewer peers the stability is fine. More peers than that and you probably want a media router in the mix, which adds some latency (all the calls have to route through a central server) and the server typically has done termination of the encrypted call streams as it does its routing.
It's remarkable to see the focus pushed onto Trudeau as the person that is failing to act when the leader most directly responsible for resolving this situation is the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford.

Interesting, I consider morality a matter completely separate from religion and the basis of ethics. Is there a name for simply following one's desires with no basis in ethics? I would say hedonism, but I think even that ascribes a ethical imperative to seek pleasure
Why is it unfortunate?

Is it unfortunate that some people will get away with crimes, because they know to ask for a lawyer (unambiguously)? The "lawyer dog" suspect was found guilty of a serious crime (based on his interview with police), and I think he should have been convicted, and that it's good that he didn't get off on a technicality (at least in this specific case).

Or is it unfortunate that some people will be wrongfully convicted, because they didn't have a lawyer and said something which ended up making them (falsely) look guilty?

I suspect people will think it's a combination of the two - both false convictions exist, and some criminals get off because they know the system. But making it easier to get a lawyer will only fix one of these.

There has to be some balance. If the police can only convict based on physical evidence (and not suspect interviews) then a lot of crimes will be impossible to prosecute.

I would argue that both dates and datetimes dimensionally signify ranges of time with different lengths. A date being a range of ~24 hours and a time being a range of a minute/second/microsecond depending on the definition. It's rarely truly meant to signify an instantaneous point in time.

Looked at as ranges, equality can be defined as whether they overlap, and that works for most use cases but not all.

Your critique highlights how the US had a President lose an election, and how he tried to undo it.

However close he came to success (which we might dispute), he lost it in the first place, then be failed to hold on, and then he was removed. This leaves the US easily 1000x more free and more democratic than the USSR, which never ran an election without tampering with the vote in the first place, and which never saw its leaders democratically deposed. They succeeded in suppressing democracy much earlier in the process.

> MITMing a non negligible portion of Signal users would be too visible to be worth doing.

You are not trusting Signal to have your unencrypted chats. Why do you trust their client apps? You aren't building them yourselves, right? MitMing ALL users and just showing them matching fingerprints so they feel safe is pretty plausible, since all users communicate using one central server. Of course, this MitMing is best perpetrated by Signal themselves.

> A server running where? Most "servers" are rented from a big cloud provider, and there's no physical control over it.

If you are a criminal, somewhere in TOR. If you are a legal organization, in your server room. If you are neither, nobody freaking cares about your chats and you might as well keep them unencrypted, enjoying better portability and overall improved user experience, as proven by Telegram.

I can't speak for hackers, but cybercriminals use exactly the same systems that you and I would typically use. There is nothing surprising in that area.

In terms of OSes, seized hardware almost always hosts either a Linux Ubuntu, sometimes Kali but not that much, or a Windows 10 system. They always have VMs running, almost exclusively on virtualbox. Running non-mainstream systems would just make them more discernable from everyone else which is not good.

What differentiates regular users from cybercrime is their "opsec", aka their operational security. They encrypt their data (with an actually robust key), they patch and harden their OSes (nobody else does this), and their online presence is mostly exclusively run through third party systems, which they likely compromised already.

Honestly, you'd learn far more useful things by reading court decisions, they often include very interesting details about their opsec.
Vagrant + Parallels works fine for me.
The more that comes to light about “Russiagate”, the more convinced I am that it was substantially more complex and coordinated relative to anything in the Watergate scandal. That the media and “former” members of the intelligence agencies spent so much time hyping it up with statements they disavowed when under oath is a whole different level. None of the substantial beneficiaries will face any penalties, nor will any of the institutional players involved express any contrition. Still.

What’s truly astonishing is the shameless coordination and alignment of political will, intelligence agencies, conventional media institutions, and big tech.

How many useful idiots went along with the narrative out of very simple self-interest?

How many out of political means/ends and self-righteousness?

And how often has this same machine been used to manufacture consent?

How do these people still demand/expect a benefit of the doubt rather than an assumption of insulting stupidity?

Regardless of how one feels about Trump, “Russiagate” should be seen for what it was, and anticipated to be in the playbook to be used again in some flavor. Either for your next anti-establishment candidate or the next war.
There is a difference between switching protocol, and:

- not migrating to broadband from 56k modem
- not upgrading to a browser version which supports HSTS

HTTP/1.1 still serves its purpose, successfully, without any impact on performance/usability. I'm not Google, I'm not serving a webpage to 8 billions devices at the same time.

Sure I can try HTTP/2 (and I did), and HTTP/3 (and I will). But when it comes to distributing an application/service to customers, I'll automatically choose the battle-tested 30 years old technology which is supported by everyone and every device.

> The fingerprint is computed at key exchange, you can't change it after the fact without warnings about it.

Compromised apps can very much silence such warnings.

> If you assume the clients are compromised, E2EE or federation or other network properties won't help, so this discussion is meaningless.

Federation absolutely helps. If you get your service and your (preferably open-source) software from different sources, the chances that you'll be attacked via software backdoors is significantly reduced, especially when there are many competing apps. If you run the server yourself, the chance to be compromised becomes infinitely small.
In terms of usability, Signal is not that great. In a usability study involving Signal[1], 21 out of 28 computer science students failed to establish and maintain a secure end to end encrypted connection.

I like to use compile time code to generate fixed tables, like these:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/master/src/dmd/backend/ope...

Notice how a static immutable array is created by a lambda at compile time. The lambda never appears in the executable. Before D, I'd use a separate C executable to generate the tables, which were then #include'd.

The lambdas can also include sanity checks:

It is so common for someone to try to gently tell someone that their system (or at least the description) is a steaming pile of self-indulgent garbage by saying something like, "I don't think that's a good idea," or "This seems pretty complicated," only for the originator to take this as an invitation to continue evangelizing (aka talking about how brilliant they are).

In the age of everyone working remotely using screen sharing software, there is no excuse for not spending time watching someone try to use the tools or apis that you've ~foisted off~ given them.
