Hi! Wanted to share a cool project I have been working on. It is a sentiment analysis of all Disney+ Marvel TV shows released so far. Data was scraped from Metacritic and the analysis was done in the Wolfram Language. The impetus for the project were news reports that Ms. Marvel (the most recent Marvel TV show) was being review-bombed. After looking at the data in detail, there does seem to be significant statistical evidence for this point. It's also interesting to see how the other Marvel TV shows released so far match up too, though (for example, weird random fact: Loki is the oldest show with the most recent Metacritic reviews, about two in June and two in July 2022). In particular, the code I wrote is very general and so can be applied to any Metacritic review. Personally, I am looking forward to adding in data from She-Hulk when it gets released this week.
The documentation there is wrong/misleading.
What I want to know is what is ultimate aim that comes from the overlapping targets of Twilio, 1900 (and 3 specific) Signal users, and CloudFlare? What product on cloudflare and their 1900 (and 3) users were being targeted?
Fastmail allows sending from any address, the client supports it easily. There is also a few self-hostable mail clients that allow it.

Historically I used a more convoluted method. When I used to use migadu (dont use them) I had a little script that would check the first line of any email I sent myself for a target email and resend it from the receive address. It was janky but worked.
Pixel is generally out of my price range
But as far as I'm aware they don't use it because (my guess) they're rightfully scared of it looking incredibly silly.
They printed me in California at least.
AWS LightSail is fairly cheap and reserved.
I've read the marketing article posted to HN, and it sounds silly. First order ... second order ... same as all the other motivational nonsense.
Those of us that do not need high privacy today might need it tomorrow, or maybe someone we frequently communicate with.

We also have a responsibility to favor tools and practices that make those that really need privacy not stand out.

Element or other Matrix clients are easy to use and lack the serious flaws I outlined for Signal.
Well yes, because there are no laws and punishments which would disincentivize it.
How isn't the question. The better question is why?

I'm not judging, only pointing out that one (why) is more revealing than the other (how).
Another poster has a counter argument and I'd agree.

Unread books seep in through osmosis. That unread book that's been sitting there for years, somehow, magically, its content feel familiar when you do pick it up.
Literally fridges next to a farming house with a QR code to pay (or cash) that sell some local cheese, milk and usually also some stuff related to the fridge owner. Also cold drinks and ice cream. Most my neighbors are small farmers and there are plenty of wandering tourists around so it makes sense I guess.

From what I know similar concepts are getting more usual in surrounding countries as well. It's honestly my favourite way to shop, I just take my pony mofa and drive to 2-3 fridges.
There's a horrible conflation of concepts here. A pretty big one.

When people talk about cloud services, they generally mean part of an application that runs on the cloud that participates as a trusted actor in the application's trust model.

What people in the linked thread are realizing is that "signal has a server" and they are confused because they thought signal didn't have a server, or something.

So, what's important about Signals servers is that, outside of initial key exchange which is verified by two parties out of band, they are not a trusted entity, ever. When you send a message it goes through signals servers. When you sync your profile picture with other devices, same thing. The data transits signals servers. This is made possible because of cryptography. By encrypting the data in a way that is indecipherable by 3rd parties (Signal's servers included) your data is isomorphic to random noise. So, the only thing Signal needs to do is route the random noise to the right place. If it doesn't do that, it's a denial of service and about the only attack you're vulnerable to if you use Signal. Otherwise, the receiver gets the exact random noise that you sent, but only they can make sense of it because of the miracle of cryptography.

If you're really doing to throw a fit because Signal syncs a profile picture between your devices using the same level of crypto as is used for messaging then you're honestly crazy.

No. Signal did not "not have a cloud" and now they "have a cloud". Not by any reasonable interpretation of the events.
> you can install Kali linux in Android now

This solves some problems (running Linux UI and apps) but leaves some very important others unaddressed (security). The point isn't just installing Linux but also removing from devices every piece of non free -as in not open, therefore non auditable and by extension not trustworthy- piece of firmware/OS/software. The hardest part is achieving that goal and many initiatives are struggling to get as close as possible to that point.
As a Linux guy, I would love being able to turn a spyware ridden phone into a 100% open Linux platform, but if someone said like that it can be done, but they're using *BSD, or Haiku, or whatewer 100% open OS out there, that would be great anyway.
The point was that if you're statically linking something that paths such as /etc/resolv.conf become "hard-coded", so that seems like an unimportant detail; something needs to check it, whether that's an application or an application through a library call: it's the same thing. /etc/nsswitch.conf is just kicking the can down the road from /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Due to organisational restrictions (aka a dysfunction product team) I "invented" the double "sweapsteak" referral giveaway. Which worked mostly outside of the product (we just needed a "who referred this user"-flag), mostly just newsletters.

Basically you could win 2 IphoneX. One for you and one for the person you referred. If you referred one person, this person was a ticket for you.

If this ticket/person won. The referrer and the referred/ticket won an Iphone each.

The more persons you referred the more "tickets" you had.

If the referred person referred new people, then they gained more tickets (additional to the ticket they were themselves.)

worked massively. 2 IphoneX after all. And a benefit for the person you referred and yourself.

And an incentive for the referred person to refer more.

repeated runs were shot down by the legal department (Fintechs which want to become a bank care about law a lot) due to gambling laws of the EU.

CPAU (cost per active user) was way better than the later implemented real referral program which worked with moneytary incentives.
crypto is a solution in search of a problem which makes me wonder how these startups are getting funded.
The article says nothing about a warrant being issued for the babies DNA, only that it was issued for the father's DNA after the babies DNA indicated the father was the likely suspect.

Linux 6.0 arrives with performance improvements and more Rust coming
Sounds like an amateur hour at that Google team. While post authors are putting blame on the un-safeness of C, absence of user input validation, like that integer from a message, is a path to a very unhappy place independent of language. The rest of the exploited places of that Titan software seem to be similarly sloppy.
> It isn't just the big things that could block you. A small piece of feedback, an opinion on a design decision, a review of your approach etc all require relatively quick and synchronous responses or you end up in multi-hour or multi-day long chain of async discussions. Business can't move at that speed.

In my experience, the folks that ask for immediate feedback on those kinds of things are the kinds of folks that don't understand they are often not small or relatively quick things. Often they aren't accounting for the cognitive cost of context switching.
It all mostly uses standard Linux interfaces. IIO for most sensors, V4L2 for camera, AT interface for modem, ALSA for codec audio controls, I2C to talk with accessories, USB configfs to configure USB gadgets,...

I struggle to recall something that's purely Pinephone specific from the userspace perspective. I tried almost all the lowest level Linux HW interfaces usable on Pinephone.
As a no code but very technical person zapier is incredible. I’ve posted about it before but in the adtech world a lot of people are technical but don’t code and automate lots of tasks/integrations/alerts/ etc with zapier.

Joined an art museum in a major city.

Within a month, the unique e-mail address was getting spam from the aquarium, the science museum, the local PBS television station, and some museums I never even knew existed.
Interesting. How do I first get focus on the menu bar without clicking with the mouse?

Honestly, I have no idea. I did not know about your suggestion, so that's a TIL for me, but if I am going to click to get to the menu bar, it's not much of a solution.

(In Safari, tab takes me around the page. In terminal, it does what I expect, command/line completion. Only after I click on a menu does it get me anywhere. And it's a good the arrow keys do the same thing, because once one gets to Help, tab is stuck in the search field.)
I agree, and it's unfair of me to judge it based on a single screenshot. I hope the book explains its assumptions about phonetics somewhere, so that actual learners don't end up confused.
According to the Bluetooth SIG cert for the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro, they support LC3 and many of the relevant LE Audio profiles.

It's interesting to me that you used Keybase as the example. My brain doing its guessing ahead thing assumed you were going to say Matrix. I've seen several popular instances of it, and run in to people actively using it at least monthly where I haven't seen anyone use Keybase in years (since the Zoom acquisition). Do you see a lot of people _actively_ using Keybase still?
Another major ISP outage in Canada. This time it's Bell
I can stay seated on the couch and connect my phone to my stereo. It turns on the receiver and changes the input to Bluetooth upon connection. From there I can then play anything and control the volume on the stereo from my phone. All without needing to even get up from the couch, or potentially even needing to go into the room with the receiver.

The receiver has good Bluetooth range. I can change the output to the speakers by the pool (albiet through the receiver app or from the receiver's remote or its face buttons) and take my phone pool-side. Then I can change the music (and the volume, once again) from my phone through just Bluetooth.

Both of these are experiences where Bluetooth is better than a 3.5mm jack.
Last time I checked, it also doesn't work for group chats. Has that changed?
Signal's SMS registration codes expire after a few minutes, so you wouldn't even need to know the duration of the incident. Let's be conservative and say the codes expire after 5 minutes (it's probably shorter), then Signal is registering 380 devices a minute.
we still don't know of anyone with their messages printed out. Signal probably doesn't have all the contacts hoarded on their server, while WA certainly does. For me, there is a big difference in "might be buggy" vs "certainly is privacy hostile"

I still prefer Matrix, but Signal is clearly the next best thing for chats. And it also has quite a number of non-HN users :)
Not that you or I could afford them to begin with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> You can not buy a sim without KYC in almost all countries.

I'd be curious to see stats on this. At least in the US, it is very easy to buy a SIM and sign up for a pre-paid plan with zero KYC.
Thanks a lot.

Thankfully I’ve pretty much dealt with sorting out the configuration now.

The remaining point of contention for me is more that this is a terrible way to treat customers, not to mention the security implications of automatically removing a bunch of security features after such a short notice period!

Such a lot of disruption and bad feeling for the sake of 5 days of an expired credit card.

I was discussing specifically the risk of tsunami, which is what I believe people were trying to take from Fukushima and apply without modification to Diablo Canyon.
I don't understand, honestly, why this is a new study. I thought the fallout (hah!) from a nuclear war was known to be catastrophic to the planet. That's why everyone is so hesitant to use them (on top of MAD).

What about this study is new? Is it the scientific detailing and modeling?
The town has asked him for plans on how he will be using the building so they can apply the applicable building code. He's refused, citing the cost ($10k by his estimate) but he's since gone and bought 75 properties in town.

If you're going to refurb a giant warehouse to be a fireworks storage facility, that's different from building a daycare, which is different from "run an internet company and makerspace", etc.

Given his history includes free-energy crap (his own fusion reactor design) and running for Mayor of Provo, UT on a platform of disincorporating the city, I would guess the problem is that this guy is a libertarian and thus thinks rules don't apply to him.
I'd say the patent system, and the current implementation of the copyright system, are far from perfect and commonly abused, yet they remain intact. I'm not sure if your criticisms will prohibit governing bodies from introducing lobbyist-friendly legislation. Fair-use policies will help keep Average Joe out of prison, while also diverting revenue.

Just like copyright today, even though the individual supposedly benefits from this scheme, it's companies who have greater stake in the outcome.
Anecdotally, having lived in areas where wind farms were repeatedly proposed and then rapidly shot down by neighbors, the NIMBYism was never about science, much less methodology. The kinds of people living in places where you'd want to build wind farms (rural ag land, mainly) tend to be pretty traditional, conservative, anti-government, independent, and basically it's-my-land-dammit types. You can show up with presentations and videos and visualizations and simulations and offer free power and cash incentives and all that, but it usually boils down to "No, because I don't like it, and I don't like you, and I don't trust people like you". It doesn't matter how technically sound a project is if it still seems like "here's another bunch of suits trying to sell us something that only benefits the city dwellers we hate 500 miles away, while telling us they know our land better than we do."

Their values and systems of belief/reality-building and trust networks are totally different. Successfully negotiating that doesn't mean "my numbers are more correct" but understanding the different subcultures, what's important to them, and being able to respectfully and empathetically communicate according to their needs, not yours.

I don't see why we don't just DNA fingerprint the entire population.

It will make the world much safer as the chances of getting away with a crime are heavily reduced.

There's still due process and the presumption of innocence.
It's not your account any more. The new owner gets "your" SMS and phone calls too. The identity is backed by the ownership of the number, not your person.

Importantly the safety number will change since it's a new device. If you care about stuff like this, verify the new device out of band and distrust any unexpected changes. Most people don't care and they still see a huge improvement over plain SMS.
If web browsers had any kind of stable interface we wouldn't have: https://caniuse.com/, polyfils, vendor CSS prefixes and the rest of crutches. WASM isn't binary. But that's all irrelevant when we talk about ABI.

ABI is specifically binary interface between binary modules. For example: my hello_world binary and glibc or glibc and linux kernel or some binary and libsqlite3.
There are diseases (particularly cancer) that can be detected before symptoms arise based on the changes in the methylation of the DNA present in cells in the plasma.

To detect these, you need to have a baseline - the longer the better.

> Further, while some participants’ samples have been assayed with a broad array of tests (Tables 2–4), participant samples will be stored for in depth testing at a later time when current assays are pertinent or new assays are available or new understanding of a disease process make performing a standard assay, not originally done, to be done on all or a sub-group of participants because of this new knowledge.
Not entirely, but a lot of the eastern problems stem from being almost literally being worked to death and not having time to date due to the culture. Such as Japan, you're expected to essentially give your life body and soul to the company you work for. They also don't express themselves as much as us in their languages and have a massive decline in annual birthrates as a result of both and more. Similar, but the specifics are different in my opinion.
Hah. Yes. And as an amusing result, emails and chats are filled with errors resulting from automated translation. The service was supposed to be a crutch, but it became widely adopted and lowered the standards everywhere.

Anecdotally, I now check my email, because Outlook likes to change what I wrote.
They claim the guardrails are for public good, but they're pretty clearly using them to try to establish a competitive moat.

It's similar to the "we don't sell personal information" claim. Sure, but that's because they make money renting malicious actors access to a black box that contains your personal information. Selling the contents of the box would reduce their overall revenue.
> M1 doesn't have a special mode for Rosetta. All code is executed with x86 TSO on M1's application processors.

That's not true. (And doesn't your last paragraph contradict it already?)

You might just have figured out that most stuff will run fine (or appear to run fine for a long time) when TSO isn't enabled.
Your comment shows you really don't know much about solar PV. Deserts are horrible for solar, for two major, and a bunch of minor reasons:

1) Heat kills PV efficiency, since, to a first order approximation, current is proportional to irradiance (deserts good), but voltage is inversely proportional to temperature (so deserts very bad). You make way more power on a clear winter day in Colorado (assuming no snow on the panels!) than you do on an Arizona summer day. If you don't like this, take it up with God, since it's just the way he built the universe and the quantum physics of semiconductor junctions.

2) Dust (and/or salt, if you're anywhere near the ocean) is a huge enemy of solar power production (so deserts bad, again). Dust or salt spray can easily cost you nearly half of your power output. PV panels are scarily susceptible to even small shading from leaves or even bird crap on them. I can throw a business card on most panels and take out 1/3 to 2/3 of that panel's output. If wired in a string, as is typical for utility scale PV, the loss of that single can take out the power production of that entire string (typically 12-22 panels worth), since it can no longer reach the inverter bus voltage set by the unimpaired strings.

Oh, and cleaning panels is really expensive - it was $0.50/panel a decade ago when I was collecting the largest database of DC solar panel data in the world - I don't imagine it's gotten any cheaper... (One of the big selling points of our software was that it could optimize cleaning and maintenance timing and intervals. This can actually make the difference between breaking even on the array cost or not!)
HBO Cuts About 70 (Streaming) Staffers as Parent Looks to Trim Costs
How many deceased artists on said list that are unable give their opinion would have objected if they were still alive?

If a deceased artist has an estate that's profiting off their work, said estate will be especially vicious in trying to establish precedent that anyone running an artist's name through an image generator needs to work out some kind of licensing agreement with the artist, or get sued.

As a working artist, I am looking forwards to this happening.
Which Samsung do you get? My Samsung is more expensive than any Pixel I've had before.

Pixel 6a is $449 new. You can get an older model than that used for half the price too.
In Burgundy (where Dijon is) at least, growing grapes for wine is probably way more profitable than mustard seeds
> They aren’t looking for behavioral features.

I might be on board if you could make the stronger claim that they can’t look for behavioral features nor will they be able to in the future. A good hash provides that guarantee.
> It assumes...

It also assumes a level of technological sophistication not too different from our own, depending on advances in AI and automation this could feasibly be us in 200 years. We hobble ourselves by only considering an alien species to be somewhat more advanced than us, it's a forgivable fault because we want to keep things realistic but it prevents us from asking the harder questions about what would be possible in 1,000 years or 1,000,000 years of continued technological development. Kardashev dared to dream when he proposed his scale. What if we could convert our entire solar system including the sun into usable energy? an entire galaxy? It's akin to the hunter gatherer asking "what if we could harness the power of lightning?" he may be very far from that dream becoming a reality but it did eventually give way to man's ingenuity. We should ask those questions: What if we could control gravity? What if we could move faster than light? What if we could create any kind of matter or field from scratch out of the raw stuff of spacetime? What is beyond space itself and could we ever access it? Dreams maybe, for today at least but perhaps not forever.
I don't understand why it's called a paradox. It's just people having trouble understanding counterfactuals. Getting better at systems thinking is a great way to get better at avoiding this. At work I've learned to point out "we wouldn't need to spend time on this if we invested the time to implement X", so the product folks are more aware of the counterfactuals when it comes time to justify the investment.
I'd wonder if it's for self defense why you didn't buy your firearm legally, since, you know, it's legal to do so. I haven't done a deep dive, but as far as I can tell in most cases it's legal to 3d print too, though admittedly that's something that there are some semi-serious efforts to change.

In other words I'd suspect the classification of "self defense advocate" to be a self serving branding effort since there are legal ways to accomplish the same, but I wouldn't doubt the need of this person for a secure messaging platform.
