>PGP: NO. It has no forward secrecy, it's a terrible way to encrypt real time communication.

OpenPGP is a message standard that specifically covers the offline, end to end encryption case. So the contention that it bad at other cases isn't very interesting.

Forward secrecy can be implemented in the OpenPGP case in way compatible with regular usage, but no one bothers. Offline encryption can be made arbitrarily secure so that it is always better to spend the time and effort on preventing the compromise in the first place. Besides, no one wants to have to immediately delete all their emails after having read them. Forward secrecy is simply not relevant for offline applications.

Well done... I can see a multi-user competition mode too (e.g. Kahoot!)

Good ice-breaker too.
FWIW it appears as though you're mentioned directly on a link named "Project Report" on the OP's link's homepage (visible to me above the fold when the page loads). Congrats!
I actually bought cheap modern camcoder and it's obvious that it's descendant of old line of purpose made devices. It does one job but does it very well.

Agree. Luckily there are projects to FOSS the newer stuff. Like pinephone, framework laptop, and actually getting Linux to run on cell phones. To me, at least, that kicks up the old tech interest “feels.”

I have always wondered at the difference between how computers used to be all about computation and now most CPUs average like 1-3% utilization or something. If it’s pegged it’s often something nefarious, even.

Definitely feels like tech went from a cool way to do new things to a curated garden with hidden mics and surveillance.

Not totally on point but I still would like a computer display headset with a couple transparent screens built in. Seems totally do-able with modern tech but nobody’s doing it.

Edit and of course there’s all the bad faith to propagandist uses of tech discussion still ongoing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30997666

Edit-typo
We're not just supersaturated; we're shaped by tech more than we shape it. Tech has become essential and inescapable. You can't fully participate in today's world without a smartphone. That phone and its underlying contacts, media, interfaces and databases are the world. Tech has become yet another necessary mainstream commodity, like electricity or plumbing. Nobody gets excited by those anymore, either.

Today, everyone expects to be able to contact you anywhere anytime. That's an mind-blowingly different way to live than before smartphones. (I'm a mid-boomer. The pre-electronic world I was born into is SO long gone.)

Smartphones are by far a bigger change than the other computer-based tech watersheds that came before -- the arrival of PCs (especially since they weren't networked until 1990), or the arrival of online info (web) which was accessible only by PCs, ca 1995. Only 10 years after that, the arrival of smartphones and social networks changed the definition of "tech" to be a state of mind: "being online, connected, and accessible all the time". Now we're used to it, so it's lost its charm. In fact, it's probably true that tech has become more annoying or addictive than fun. Who wants to dance to tunes dominated by trillion dollar mass-manipulative corporations?

That's why tech is no longer cool. Today's New New Thing isn't changing your life anymore. Not in a good way, anyway.

Turner/Murdoch is traditional journalism though. I see no reason why these wouldn't exist today even without the internet.
The US "started the Saturday Night Live broadcast denouncing Russia?" So when you say the "US" did something, you mean Americans did something. Well Americans do a lot of things. I guess if your reference points are China and Russia, it may be hard to see the distinction
They have a workload that is entirely dictated by their protein design etc. projects, not by external access to a web app. So "high performance" means doing a single definite task quickly (so they can *proceed to the next run), not scaling to many users and requests. If they need to scale, they first hire protein designers or the like and then they set up some new workstation, probably something different from existing ones for diversification and obsolescence reasons. No cattle.
Cannot recall anytime in modern history in which a major political party is influenced and supported by an ethereal conspiratorial group that only "exists" on-line and in the minds of its followers. A fanatical follower even showed up at the U.S. Capitol on 1/6/21 dressed in a shaman costume.

Social media thrives on the concept of "followers", which sounds more like a "grooming" stage for authoritarians.
Please quit trolling. Your comment is disconnected from anything I wrote.
Apropos of nothing; I saw Henri Matisse's "Blue Girl" at the Tate Modern and was astounded by how many rough bits of paper it's made of. Torn edges, blobs of glue, some pins sticking out.

All the photos make it smooth like a silkscreen print, but that's not even close to the raw, primitive construction techniques he used to get his vision. Really compelling.
A post about Chinese torture camps makes an impression that torture camps are exclusively a Chinese thing. It would be fair to mention other countries involved in similar behavior.

The post could have been "torture camps are bad" piece. It is instead focuses on "China is bad" propaganda

Can you elaborate on what delimits them? Clojure to me doesn't feel any different from say Scheme then Common Lisp does, though it does feel a bit strange compared to Common or Emacs Lisp.
> Everything is double-digit YOY growth with impending exit

I'm going to say, on a random job board, this is actually the vast minority of jobs. Most, even at FAANG, have lots of unsexy maintenance that just needs to get done. Even in fancy machine learning land (where I work) 99% of the work is fairly 'boring' in the traditional sense.

Also, there is a strong bias to talk about 'sexy' work outside the company. For a variety of dev marketing reasons. Nobody does a conference talk about the uninteresting boring work that gets done.
Another interesting part of the Raspberry Pi VideoCore blob is that it implements DRM for Raspberry Pi products: the Pi Camera V2 has an Atmel ATSHA204A CryptoAuthentication chip on it and uses an HMAC+nonce challenge/response system to authenticate with the VideoCore blob when it goes to bring up the CSI interface. Marcan42 dumped the keys from the VideoCore blob and documented the system a few years ago.

According to the Pi Foundation, this is because simple peripherals are too easy to clone and they need to recoup their investment in accessory design.

I was reminded of this while I was researching Twitter speculation yesterday that something similar is done for the DSI interface for displays. I wasn't able to substantiate this - the FKMS (FakeKMS/FirmwareKMS) and proprietary Raspberry Pi video drivers, where link negotiation and backlight control is done in the blob, do only support specific displays. However, it's unclear to me if this is due to driver support or an intentional lock-in. The open-source KMS driver (not yet usable on Raspberry Pi 4) where link negotiation and backlight control is done in the kernel, of course supports anything with a driver.
web3 is cool :)
I'm curious what people are spending / over spending all their money on in the cloud?

My exposure to the actual granular costs and billing have only been limited to a small company and in that case the costs were pretty appealing compared to running everything yourself. Granted this was also a bit of a hybrid with some services local and others in the cloud.

I've not had much exposure to where the deep costs start to pile up as far as cloud services goes. I wonder where those pop up?
> But what if I were to lend my old android tablet to my visiting 4-year-old nephew, and I found they'd used my linked credit card to spend $500 on lootboxes in whalecraft?

Pebble didn't use eInk. It used transflective LCD.
I'm using DuckDuckGo almost exclusively[1] for years now and I'm pretty happy with it.

I don't see much benefit in their browser though. I think their "Privacy Grade", which is shown very prominently in the browser UI, is more harm than help. It is much too strict and rating everything down is counter to their intention. Is a B site still OK? What about a C, or. B+? If nothing is A, this is just confusing to the user.

Is there any website, except duckduckgo.com itself, that has an A rating? Why has a perfectly legit site like Wikipedia only a B rating?

Ironically even the service they use to rate terms of service (https://tosdr.org/) only has a rating of B+, because of "Unknown Privacy Practices" in their very own terms of service.

The GPU is not the issue. There are open source OpenGL ES drivers available in upstream Mesa right now, that work with upstream kernel DRM driver, and for RPi4 users there's even a Vulkan driver.

It's been pointed out elsewhere but briefly there is a VLIW processor (the "VPU") that is initially in charge of the entire boot sequence before handing off control to the main ARM cores; the bootcode.bin firmware for RPi devices is exactly this code. This includes things like bringing up PLLs and the on-board UART before handing off control to the ARM core where "userspace" code runs.

There are many free RISC-V implementations, and several free GPU drivers for various hardware families, but there is no combination of the two in any meaningful sense right now. If I had to guess I'd say ImgTec is probably one of the ones you could expect to pop up in an SoC somewhere, since I doubt ARM or Qualcomm are going to license their GPUs outside their families... ImgTec recently started contributing some code to Mesa but otherwise have historically been pretty hostile. So the immediate speculation doesn't look great at the moment but who knows what could happen.
I think that depends where. In San Francisco, there were more OD deaths than COVID

Not really hacking AOL, but I found that you could get the passwords in plain text from the Filesystem, which meant I could get around the parental controls and use it when I wanted!

Submitted it to “happy hacker” and it got in the newsletter, I was super chuffed as a 13? yr old!

Edit: I had a thing called “aol admin tools” which I have no idea if it was legit or not but could see lots more than I could normally lol
You can call it “whataboutism”, but the only practical outcome of this performative caring in my lifetime has been the justification of endless wars, increased arms dealing, and brutal economic sanctions, which help no one but the US elite.

I am an American, not a “global citizen”. My responsibility is to America. Let the people of other countries take moral responsibility for their governments. To pretend that America has some unique moral insights that need to be imposed on the rest of the world is both deeply racist and contradicted by history.
With zero video editing experience, I recently shot and edited a 7 minute video of myself playing guitar, entirely on my iPhone. I was pretty surprised how well it worked. Yeah there were some UI warts (editing text, like you say...), and I wouldn't want to work that way for any serious work, but it really did lower the barrier for a complete noob in a way that finding/buying some PC video editing suite couldn't.
Hell, it still is sufficient for many businesses.

To reiterate:

It's totally normal and expected for biological research labs to have biological samples with which to do research.

Ukraine, like any other country, has a vested interest in the health of its population, and so Ukraine, like many other countries, performs research on diseases that ail mankind.

Additionally, "receives US funding" is a better way to put it than "US funded", which is calculated to make it seem more like the US was the _only_ country funding them. Though one would expect that one of the largest economies in the world would help its allies research and treat their diseases.

The accusations and suppositions put forward are beyond that, with thinly veiled suggestions of covert maliciousness sprinkled in.

As for Putin, he views the existence of a free Ukraine that isn't part of Russia, as a provocation, thus the invasion, so it's pretty clear that what he viewed as provocation is not necessarily an actual provocation, but rather a pretext for further violence that he already planned anyways.
Please quit your US newspeak.
> The incarceration rate is around 5 times that of China

You have no idea what the incarceration rate is in China in fact - part the charm of the zero human rights modern China, which is itself an authoritarian prison state - and their supposed official figure does not include millions of Uyghurs.
It should say "through the Alps." That, to me, lines up with how interesting the article is, and is more clear.
Privacy by default cannot be overstated. To really escape privacy harms, e.g., creepy ads and following you around and similar content targeting (filter bubbles), you need multi-pronged protection that actually blocks trackers from loading vs. just restricting them after you load. We have a detailed post that explains this here: https://spreadprivacy.com/browser-privacy-protection/. "The issue is that once such trackers are loaded in your browser, they have a ton of ways to track you beyond just third-party cookies (e.g., by another form of cookies called first-party cookies, by your IP address, and much, much more). And many of these mechanisms cannot be turned off because the browser needs them to properly function."

In addition to privacy though, I'd highlight a couple other things.

- People prefer different UX and our UX is certainly different. It has been built from the ground-up to be clean -- less clutter, less icons, etc.

- We're adding features we think make the browsing experience better. This includes our Fire Button (one-click data clearing for tabs, windows, or everything), our automatic cookie consent pop-up management, auto-blocking of Facebook embedded content, etc. We're working on more of these types of features, and taken together, they not only protect your privacy but should make everyday browsing less annoying.

I'm also wondering about this myself. I also used to check Tom's Hardware, had a subscription to Technology Review and was amazed by almost everything in there.

In fact I had also been working for some time on actually cool tech and was looking forward to go into the office as early as possible and stay late. But as I "progressed" I worked on more and more boring problems and products. The by far most exciting tech is what I use in my free time.

Also it seems that only a small fraction of tech products nowadays are driven by tech geeks.
This wasn't really an instance role, though. It was plain old credentials for a web service saved to disk (could have easily been a username/password or public/private key pair)
>I mean Putin pretty much said as much, in his own words.

Putin has three rhetorical themes for domestic propaganda consumption but they are vague enough to be able to claim success under a range of criteria on the ground, some of which certainly will be met. He's not dumb enough to paint himself into a corner like that.

Western propaganda has and will try to characterize almost anything less than the total capitulation of Ukraine and tanks rolling on lviv as a crushing defeat. Comparisons to the winter war will permeate twitter to the point of tedium after this is all done because Russia will get some territory.

>Don't get me wrong, Putin is just going to continue to grind eastern Ukraine, because he can. but, I suggest anything less than complete control is admission that the "Nazis" are better.

Defeating the azov brigades in mariupol is probably sufficient to claim success against the nazis. Thats where all the fighters with swastikas tattooed on them were anyway. A parade of dead swastika tattooed bodies and a few stories of them using human shields after winning will satiate the domestic audience.

If he loses there then yea he really cant claim victory under any circumstances but thats increasingly unlikely.
aside from hangovers, I don't remember the last time I've gotten a headache since starting to drink more water. this year i pretty much stopped drinking and that rules out hangovers now too. I think a lot of people could benefit immensely from drinking a lot more water. for reference I drink 2-3L a day minimum and don't consume caffeine, but have excellent sleep and energy throughout the entire day
Holy crap. Same here, I never knew this keyboard shortcut existed.

When people made enough money and stopped having problems they needed to solve. When they shifted their attention to bolstering the reign of the incumbents. When they tell each other to job hop instead of starting something new.

There's also this thing that tech is sanitized for "idiots first" because apparently if you don't appeal to billions you're a failure
Unfortunately that's not usually a good enough motivation for most companies. To be clear, I'm not arguing that I don't think it would be a good thing for them to release the code (I most certainly would welcome a fully open source rpi), I've just been confronted to this mindset a lot at work. Closed source is the default, releasing anything publicly means going through many hoops and levels of hierarchy. If there's no obvious benefit for the company and you don't have insiders strongly pushing for it it won't happen.
Look for small companies you never heard of, in places you've never been.
> who don't seem to realize how far ahead the M1 chip is

If they don't use macOS, it's irrelevant for them.

For what is worth, I don't feel that much of a difference in gradle builds time in Android Studio between M1 and 5600U (although I use 32 GB RAM with the latter).
It's just as bad when sites won't allow me to enter it as a 15-16 digit string.

Another gripe is when it requires me to tell it what kind of card it is, when it also then validates the BIIN, and tells me I'm wrong if I forget to chose - why not just fix it for me?
There are two different things and one is used to silence the other. You have social policies and economic policies. The economic policies are devoutly conservative / corporatist and have been since Reagan. This is generally known as neoliberalsm. Both parties bow to the alter of conservative economic policies because they are both paid to do just that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism

Now, the socialist policies, that's where the magic happens. If you can get the people to constantly bicker at each other about intentionally vague and ill defined social issues, well then you've succeeded in having them not talk about the economic policies and the status quo remains in place for the people who want it to remain in place. These are generally known as the culture wars. See you can't really make laws about social issues that do a whole lot, but you can sure make laws about economic ones: NAFTA, trade deals, government contracts, minimum wealth requirements, minimum wage laws, union laws, regulatory direction and funding, tax policy, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_war

Economic policies that are good for the citizenry will alleviate most of the social problems we've been trained to focus on, but we can't take our eyes off the social bickering enough to actually make our lives economically better.
I think a major resentment people have when they see these "moral stands" by the US, is that in its literal present day actions, neither US nor China "stand up against oppression in general not just when you can benefit", but also, China does not rhetorically claim to do so -- the US does make that false claim.

The easy present day case to back up this claim that the US does not "stand up against oppression..." is Yemen: https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/03/1113852. With various slight modifications, and given enough time to explain, you can add a host of other countries to that list: Afghanistan, Syria, Israel+Palestine, etc. Go back 20-30 years and you can add Iraq. Go back a little further and add Indonesia+East Timor, Iran, most of South and Central America. It's more complicated to make the case, and there are still too many uncertainties about what actually happened, but you could probably even add "nice, Western" countries like Italy to that list.

The point is, China often uses this false talk of "moral stands" as a (mostly sarcastic) retort to the US, because the US sincerely engages in the same false talk in 90% of its communications and more importantly, in material actions that affect actual lives on the ground.
I don't think corporations had a smaller scope back then. Look up the Grange movement, trust busting and the progressive party. They were all responses to corporations having too much power, in fact control over many aspects of life and complete economic power over certain industries and groups of people. Government intervened, something which might not be possible right now.
then it went un-free again...

A lot of environmental headaches are allergies or pollution, and a good chunk of those are things in your own house - for example dust mites or fumes from plastics/paint/carpet.
They can't just stop licensing the core of Qt under GPL or LGPL (I forget which) due to an old agreement between Trolltech and KDE e.V. that states (roughly) that if there are no more OSS releases of Qt for more than a year, the last public release gets automatically relicensed under something more liberal (BSD or MIT).

But the Qt Company has tried to make using the open source releases more and more inconvenient: licensing terms for the commercial version that are not at all forthcoming to OSS-to-commercial converts (implying that you need to pay for commercial licenses from the start), more limited access to precompiled binaries and registration obligations when you want to use the official Qt installer. That behavior seems to say that the company is bound by an agreement that they honor only reluctantly.
