Yeah but the whole point of Signal is to allow secure very secure communication. With little effort they could allow this usecase. It would address a major criticism and they already have the underlying infrastructure.

But I guess you can just keep moving the goal post.

Easy solution for windshields which avoids full replacement is to go and have somebody inject epoxy(? some sort of agent) into the crack which will prevent it from spreading larger
I’m currently running a Cisco ASA 5540 as the perimeter device (with NAT and DHCPD) at home. Replaced the stock fans because it was seriously noisy. Getting about 920Mbp/s. Also running a site-to-site VPN to AWS. It’s been working great for many years with absolutely no issues whatsoever. The only problem is that it’s starting to show some ageing with no firmware updates since 2018, so I’m replacing this with a recent Palo Alto Networks NGFW with 1+ Gbp/s firewall capability. The FW is then connected with OM3 fiber to a SFP port on a 48-port gigabit Cisco switch (2960G), with trunking ports to other managed Cisco switches in the house. The server is connected to the switch using 4 ports in LACP mode for better bandwidth and redundancy. If you can live with the noise I highly recommend old enterprise gear as it can be found for cheap.
Not often, but when I do check I don't find any so I don't see a need to check more often. And I don't later discover that I missed anything either.

I had to find a manual for my washing machine to disable the child lock which accidentally got turned on. There's no symbol (maybe kids are onto that these days), you just have to intuit which buttons you have to hold at the same time.

Plus points: you can turn the beep volume down.

Minus points: without a manual you would never in a million years figure out the magic sequence to get into the menu and when you did what the numeric menu codes mean.
Earlier this year I threw my son his USB earbuds container. Not a heavy thing. I threw it in a high arc, and on its way down it glanced off the edge of his MacBook screen. It seemed like the lightest of touches, but it must have hit in just the right (or wrong) spot, and the screen ended up with a large crack, and stopped working. I was super surprised how fragile the screen was, especially given how tough iPads and iPhone seem to be. When it happened, I couldn't believe such a light glancing blow could have done it. I was definitely responsible for cracking the screen through my actions, but it did highlight to me that macbooks are not robust at all, not the high quality I had come to expect.

So after all the hype that I have heard about the Apple Silicon computers, it seems like it takes a screen crack to make it useless and issue a repair cost of almost the price of a new one.

Especially when as soon as the computer fails to boot or stops working, you have lost all data on the computer as the data cannot be recovered.

Sounds like a total scam. Glad I never bought one on launch day.
Crisis Pregnancy Centers often provide a range of options for women. Just because they do not provide abortions does not make them fake. The care they provide is abortion adjacent - exactly the kind of thing a search engine would be expected to dig up for you.

What does it mean that women should have a choice, but then to only offer them one choice, or to jigger search engines to funnel their view down to a single choice?

Women can make up their own minds - they don't need heavy handed political zealots determining what they can and can't see.
It's a pretty normal rate for domain-specific expertise within agencies. This isn't a special situation either, I've worked for multiple agencies that charge rates like this... some with thousands of employees.

I ran an abusable referral program once. Those who abused the referral program were the best because they kept sharing our product onto new forums telling others about how easy it is to abuse. Many of those new customers we would never have reached and most second-degree referrals didn't abuse the system, all we had to do was make that first customer feel superior to us. So it was well worth it :)
I'm not sure what the best current practices are for mobile, but for residential/business/etc., the most convenient behavior would be for the delegated prefix to be static unless it is requested to be changed. That tends to be the case already with ISPs who grant public IPv4 to customers - it's DHCP whose lease stays the same unless you forcibly change your MAC address or let the lease expire via turning off your modem, and so on.

Talking about IPv4 with NAT, a "consumer" with zero server-hosting needs could get away with a changing public IP. Someone with any kind of server needs, like hosting their own Internet-accessible IoT portal, personal VPN, website, game server, etc. would want a stable public IP address.

Yeah, that may lead to tracking, but it's the status quo, I suppose is the point.

In case it isn't known, IPv6 has so many addresses and is designed in such a way, that it is expected each "network" (think home network) would be given a network prefix of 56 or 60 bits. The "host" portion of an IPv6 address is the final 64 bits of the address. Therefore, each network an ISP issues to a client should have room for something between 16 and 256 subnetworks, each with effectively unlimited client address space.
This is a widespread issue, it's almost like the computers are designed for this to happen. I've seen Windows laptops without any glass protection at the front with better durability.
A lot of people in rich western societies produce negative value. I'm not really sure people with < 75 IQ or so can really produce enough value in order to be able to give back to society more than they receive in various forms of welfare.

They just don't have enough skills to be productive in a digital knowledge society.

I guess your future plan is for them to starve?
My work network has a /64 for WAN (yes quite a lot of addresses for a point to point link) and a /48 for "internal use". So WAN is merely a few billion IPs and VLANS - gazillions of IPs. OK we also have six other WANs and allocations but that is another story.

We have no need for NAT in the traditional IPv4 sense but NPT is handy for failover and that is why it was invented because IPV6's design lacked one crucial thing: telling the clients which internets are available so they can select which local address to start out from.

Perhaps everyone should run BFD(v6) by default.

assigning accounts to numbers is the dumbest thing. I remember when I got a new phone number a few years ago I managed to login into someone else's venmo account. Numbers are like dynamic IPs, why would anyone use this to authenticate you is beyond me.
I'll explain why I want the right to dictate the terms by which software on my computer talks to software on other people's computers. It's because it's relatively easy to customize local software to work in ways I and other people want it to, and the only thing stopping us from doing so is arbitrary draconian laws and rules. This results in situations where you can't access a lot of straightforward websites and services unless you download an "app" that's actually just a wrapper around a web browser and a bunch of spyware, and it makes it impossible for people with various minor disabilities to use a lot of services comfortably.

The rule right now is "Any jerkoff can dictate what is and isn't allowed to run on my computer" and I would like to change that rule to "I'm in charge of what runs on my computer, you're in charge of what runs on your computer".

Dear Apple, your keyboard looks like an almost perfect arrangement of squares. The only problem is that it's not ergonomic. Humans prefer keys that are not flat, but slightly concave, for a more organic feel (for example). Style over function/ergonomics is not going to win me over.

Contrary to popular myth, not all of us live and work in a basement. Myself and many people I know, my non-technical girlfriend included, use our laptops all around the country and in multiple other countries.

I do agree about upgradeable and repairable, which is why the Framework laptop is getting pretty attractive. But there's still nothing that compares in performance and portability to my M1 Air.

And that’s why most people buy $500 laptops. Even if the screen broke you can probably buy a 3rd party one from Aliexpress for $100.

But $800 for a replacement one? I’d rather sell the MBP for parts on eBay and buy a new one if must then pay that much. Like you would get more for that with a broken screen for sure, some people would fix it on their own or use it as a desktop computer.

But I don’t have a SV engineer salary so what do I know
For anyone wanting to host a service at their home, you should be regretful not getting a stable prefix.

Ideally there would be a way to request a new one programmatically, akin to getting a new IPv4 address via DHCP if you change the MAC address.

There is a Linux emulator for Unix (namely FreeBSD), and it's one of the first examples in the Wikipedia article on emulation. https://www.openbsd.org/60.html shows OpenBSD removing "Linux emulation."

Linux was never designed to be the same as Unix, just similar. But it's more popular now, so Unix users found utility in pretending to run Linux.

Both Japan and Sweden were very hesitant to impose legally-compelled rules compared to most other developed countries. People behaved as you described. Though one can debate whether they would have behaved even more so with an order compelling.

In hindsight, I suspect the biggest factor was not whether it was compelled, but whether people could afford it. (Plenty of payments to stay home or keep workers home were still made in Japan and Sweden.) If your rent depends on providing black market haircuts, you'll still perform them despite the ban. And if you're allowed to do haircuts, but the government will instead pay you to stay home to avoid the epidemic disease going around, maybe you'll just stay home.
I've witnessed an interaction like this in the main Apple store in Berlin, where a woman came (with a friend) because she had an issue with having forgotten her password and wanting to get her photos back, which wasn't possible. The security guard was extremely fast to show up behind her back as soon as despair could be heard in her voice.

That gave me a very different image of Apple all of sudden..
I thought best practice for IPv6 is to essentially ‘ignore’ IP addresses as each NIC can have multiple addresses + the extended length making it unwieldy. Instead you either use a combination of zeroconf / Bonjour for DNS registration / service discovery + stateless IP address assignment (SLACC). If you want full control you can use DHCPv6 which can register hosts on a proper DNS service.
Nuclear tech is treated this way (much stricter even).
I did a job for a "famous fried chicken chain" in the US once, and the end-goal was to "increase consumption of 'heavy users' from 3x a week to 4x a week". They didn't even bat an eye at their use of "heavy users".

That's a very smart solution indeed. I wonder if it is also possible to throw more memory at the problem? Managing instances with locally attached disks on the cloud is a bit of a pain, as you don't have the capability to stop/start the instances anymore.

There are some times when writing a custom solution does make sense though.

In their case, I'm wondering why the host failure isn't handled at a higher level already. A node failure causing all data to be lost on that host should be handled gracefully through replication and another replica brought up transparently.

In any case, their usage of local storage as a write through cache though md is pretty interesting, I wonder if it would work the other way around for reading.
Why would it? Seriously a large proportion even of the users bitten by this will still run to buy the next shiny apple device they release and then there is the other part of the users who are not affected and will blame the affected users for doing something wrong, because apple can't be in the wrong. I never understood the personal attachment and identification that some brands elicit it people (but credit to Apple to achieving this, and I don't mean this ironically. They must be doing something right to gather such a following).
It's not about that, it's pretty much the same as using a dynamic IP to authenticate you

I agree with you. When I travel I just take a tablet for some reading on the flight and maybe some light HN reading before bed. To do actual work, I kind of like my split keyboard, mouse, and 32 CPUs.

It's amazing how much shit you get on HN of all places for sitting at your desk programming.
The reason the nuclear arms argument is used is because its a logical argument and breaks through the ridiculous assumption that the second amendment in an unlimited right.

Do you or do you not believe the right to bear a nuclear arm should be infringed?

Its sounds like (I think) yes you do believe it should be infringed but disagree with the current laws technical implementation. You are an extremist in that most people agree with the current law and do not think a new constitutional amendment is needed to regulate nuclear arms.
Does everything you just said not also apply to fingerprints? You leave them everywhere you touch, and people touch a lot of things. Maybe less so than DNA, since it's effectively a subset (things you touch likely have DNA from your hand skin, but things you don't touch might also have DNA from other things), but it's still just saying "you were likely here". And given a large enough population, wouldn't there also be many partial fingerprint matches?

I'm not sure how these two things are issues when comparing fingerprinting to DNA matching. They seem to be applicable to both.
For such a small company I would probably expect that data like that would probably just live in a cloud service like GSuite that’s already SOC2 compliant, then if you’re running software integrations against that data, you’re spinning up isolated SOC2-compliant cloud servers to do so.

Unfortunately unless you get ridiculously creative and put in a bunch of extra time instead of cloud service spend, SOC2 compliance is gonna be expensive

If it’s just raid0 and raid1, then there’s likely not any significant CPU time or CPU overhead involved. Most southbridges or I/O controllers support mirroring directly, and md knows how to use them. Most virtualized disk controllers do this in hardware as well.

CPU overhead comes into play when you’re doing parity on a software raid setup (like md or zfs) such as in md raid5 or raid6.

If they needed data scrubbing at a single host level like zfs offers, then probably CPU would be a factor, but I’m assuming they achieve data integrity at a higher level/across hosts, such as in their distributed DB.

I assume part of the problem is the physical distance from the CPU hard limiting speed due to the speed of light. 3d stacking of memory might enable a design with a large enough stack close enough to the CPU? I don't really know what I'm talking about though.

the recommended fix here is to add a PIN + enable registration lock

IIRC signal PIN was very controversial back in the day because they were 1) forcing users to do it and 2) forcing them to opt in to some data collection as part of creating a PIN. Signal backed down on requiring a PIN, but now it's unclear from their settings page whether setting a PIN will share data as well. The marketing copy on my droid device says:

> PINs keep information stored with signal encrypted so only you can access it. your profile, settings and contacts will restore when you reinstall

For a company with relatively good cred, this is a shady way of saying 'we will upload your contacts and encrypt it with a short string'

Then don't buy an Apple laptop, simple. Buy a Thinkpad that is almost indestructible and you don't have these kind of problems, or as I did a Dell XPS 15 (though I can't talk about how solid it is, since I have it only since 2 months).

Surely I would prefer Dell for the support, I have 1 year of premium assistance (if there is a fault a technician will come where I am to make the repair, I don't have to bring it to a store that takes days to do the repair on a computer that I need for my job) and with like 20$ more I got the coverage even for accidental damage.

Apple doesn't have correct policy, first it doesn't recognize in warranty faults that should, and secondly repairs outside the warranty period cost more than buying a new computer, and it doesn't sell spare parts to others that are not Apple authorized repair center (that needs to apply the policy of Apple otherwise they will not send the spare parts): something called mafia.

"NAT as security" can be reframed.

Instead of a router coming default with NO access control/firewall, and inbound connections being denied by the technical impossibility of addressing an inbound Internet packet to a private address, the industry should shift to "default ACL of allow all outbound, allow none inbound" and then have users craft inbound firewall rules as needed.

Signal can't possibly read the data. How is that for itself? Only you can decrypt it! Signal doesn't have your data. They have garbage bits of effectively random noise.

You can prove it to yourself. Go take one of Signal's servers and try to find someone else's data there. You won't.

Why would Signal update their privacy policy to reflect the desire of misguided fear mongers? I certainly wouldn't do that if I were them.
