This is a rather interesting interview style, it seems as if the interviewer is presenting the viewpoints of the national security state complex ("we need total access to all data to prevent terrorism and child abuse") and of the major tech conglomerates ("competition reduces privacy"), aka Big MAMAA (FAANG is obsolete), but it does provide the interviewee with opportunity to counter those points, so I guess it's a decent interview approach.

I'd add that the solution to child abuse and terrorism is the same it has ever been, i.e. targeted investigations relying on tactics like infiltration of criminal rings with undercover officers. There's no justification for Gestapo/NKVD authoritarianism and mass surveillance tactics.

However, there doesn't seem to be any plausible way to communicate with others using any infrastructure-type system (from postal mail to fiber optic cable) that doesn't reveal the network of communication (i.e. metadata), and Tor is hardly an exception. Tor seems to have been designed to allow remote government agents (aka spies) operating in hostile environments a means to communicate with a known base of operations without revealing their actual remote locations or identity. Similarly it could be used by individuals to communicate with journalists (as Edward Snowden did) without revealing their identity or location, but only if they take a lot of precautions (i.e. not using their device for any other online activity that could be traced to them). I imagine NSA has backdoors into almost all Tor nodes anyway. The content can be securely encrypted, but location/identity? Probably not.

> my laptop: it no longer suspends without being quickly woken up again on the main kernel release

Long story short: there are a lot of things in your laptop generating interrupts.

Some of them you want to ignore, because it would cause the behavior you describe (preventing sleep)

Some of them you really want to listen to closely, because if it's an interrupt generated by say brushing on the power button, not listening to it means not waking up from sleep (traditional example: GPE96 on dells, cf for example https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102281) until a longer press on the button generates an ACPI event or a powerup.

You can configure or finetune that with /proc/acpi/wakeup which hopefully will give you more context as to what other people have explained here.

OP is not asking about some kind of 12-step program or technical topic. He's asking about a forgotten activity in this day and age: using the ol' noggin.

Ordinary people have been doing that long before eggheads got paid to sit in rooms and produce 12-step programs on "CT," so the answer is simpler than they'd have you believe.

Independent thought is like any other human skill; you learn by imitation. Really!

> The issue I have with Google is it's never clear to outsiders when projects are simply "experiments" that google is going to kill later.

Well if it's any comfort that's not clear to the Googlers either.

On the other hand if something is done by a startup there's also no way to know how much of a future it has. At least if it's open source then you have time to migrate to something else if Google stops investing in it. All the examples you name are Open Source.

And I don't think it's accurate to say Google did a "soft kill" on Dart. I don't recall any time when they reduced the manpower on the project, excepting perhaps the Dartino/Fletch (embedded Dart), which was explicitly labelled as tentative and experimental. These days things are going great for Dart.

> what seems likely if you put aside your breakdown as monstrous and look for a rational explanation and relate to police procedure

What does "police procedure" have to do with individual officers going in to save their own children? Do you actually believe this to be the procedure anywhere?

> Although the timeline is 90 minutes or so from entry until he was neutralized that doesn't mean he didn't just shoot everyone in the first minutes.

How could the police possibly have known that all the children in the barricaded classroom were already killed? What if some could have been saved if they hadn't been left shot and bleeding for 90 minutes?

> Storming a classroom filled with hostages is not procedure.

You can't have it both ways. If the kids were killed immediately then there were no hostages to worry about.

> The idea that they just gave up or were all cowards is a bit irrational.

By this point we've all seen pictures of multiple police officers with bulletproof vests and AR-15 style weapons waiting around outside doing nothing -- other than holding back parents who wanted nothing more than to do for their children what the cops did for their own. If this isn't cowardice, what is?

> Officers are reported as shot in the process.

This is the entire story. A couple cops got shot and the rest were understandably frightened. So rather than risk their lives going after the shooter, they rescued their own kids and literally left the rest of them to die.

"We can stop and let Asian tech giants eat us alive." is neither coded, nor suggestive -- nor is it written in such a way as to avoid condemnation or blame, It's a plain statement.

Can you describe how it's a dog whistle, and to signal which faction? I don't get it.

Asia is too vast for a group of people to be against the entirety, no? At least I haven't ran into the anti-Asia faction, yet; but I have ran into plenty of anti-country folks.

It's so sad to see good integrated tech products being bought out just so the market can squeeze it and its customers dry of money, leaving nothing but a dry soulless husk of finance-driven leadership squeezing blood from desperate vendor-locked customers, just so swarms of consultants can move everyone that can afford them off onto the next integrated product to rinse and repeat.

The current solution to business management feels suboptimal. If companies are like persons maybe they should be organized with a more integrated 'body', where the 'head' doesn't have total power to sell out the rest of the integrated parts for its own gain. Co-op like organizational structures might avoid this issue, for example.

The author repeatedly refers to Bitcoin as a "public good", "dependent" on a "volunteer-layer", like the crypto bros such as the article author are putting all their time and effort into running a public service for the greater benefit of society out of the goodness of their hearts with no expectation of profit. That is clearly the exact opposite of reality - they are trying to extract maximum personal profit in the shortest time irrespective of the damage they are doing to our society and environment.
The value of proton is not that they'll break the law for you -- they absolutely will not. They are bound by the laws of the land, and when compelled will hand over all the data they are required.

The value IS that they simply don't have that much data. All your emails are encrypted at rest with a key they can't read. All your data is stored in such a way that they can't decrypt it on demand.

Think about it. When Microsoft gets served a FISMA warrant, everything they have is stored in plaintext, so they have to hand it all over. With Proton, all they have is your IP, the date you created your account, the last login date, potentially the subject lines of any messages in their mail queue, and that's about it.

Nobody is going to risk their business to help people hide from law enforcement, and anybody that says they will is probably lying to you.

The main problem is that I keep an email archive of all my emails: all sent and most received since 1995. It is 17Gb. I've imported it into Gmail, and it is instantly searchable. With ProtonMail, such a search must happen on the client-side due to encryption. I suspect it will not work very well.
Lol, oh, right…
It's an open question whether Bluetooth should prevent sleep, or let sleep go through.

On a well done "modern suspend/suspend to idle", I use disconnected modern sleep + Windows Media Player on Windows 11 to listen to songs on my bluetooth headphones for a cost of about 1% of the battery per hour (as measured and plotted with powercfg) which can come down to about half of it, 0.5%/h when not using Bluetooth.

I wouldn't want Bluetooth to prevent sleep (a 1% drop per hour is better than not sleeping!)

I also wouldn't want sleep to prevent me from using my Bluetooth headset (the difference between 0.5% and 1% is significant, but it doesn't matter much in practice if my computer can be usable in the morning)

This is one of the rare examples of "modern suspend" delivering on its promises, and blowing the good old ACPI S3 away: I never saw a drop of battery <5% on S3 suspend-to-ram unless it also involved S4 in a hybrid sleep of "ACPI S3 suspend-to-ram then S4 suspend-to-disk after a while or when I run out of power whichever comes first"!

That's manipulation of history. XMPP federation was actually still working on the Google Talk servers even as recently as a couple years ago. However, Google outright refused to update their XMPP server capabilities. I am not talking about refusing to implement the latest XEPs (which they don't), I am talking that they didn't even bother to implement SSL! https://xmpp.org/2015/03/no-its-not-the-end-of-xmpp-for-goog...

Google was kicked by the other servers out of federation due to their abandonment way before Google turned it off. And it was always flacky to begin with, specially since they also started dropping 3rd party clients (and for that you can't blame spam...).

And even if one argues that Google ignored federation because of spam and/or low usage, OP's claim that they did that "for their own advantage, making the world poorer" would still be valid.
>Corporations are fundamentally not subject to the will of the people

But why the fuck not? They hold an insane amount of power over people, directly and indirectly. The way for the people to have some power back over them is through unions. The fact that our entire system is set up to block collective bargaining is a huge artificial asymmetry.

5 - 10 years back, Oracle was very far ahead of the database game and there was no practical competitor regarding performance, query optimization, storage management and enterprisey management features. For quite some time, if you needed a large central relational store for a business, Oracle was the only answer.

The main change is that MariaDB and PostgreSQL have caught up a lot of ground over the last years, so OracleDB has been losing the edge they have been paid for.

I keep a .dotfiles git-repo similarly. The configs/custom scripts/etc are organized into separate folders by what they do (shell config/work tools/...) and I use GNU Stow to symlink them into my home directory. Makes setting up super easy:

stow --target=$HOME --dir=packages shell-config
stow --target=$HOME --dir=packages work-stuff

I've found this to be much more manageable than tools like yadm since I can pick-and-choose sets of configs/scripts based on the machine I'm using them on.
