Even if I don't connect the TV to the internet, I'll still be subjected to their rules. Who knows what this proprietary software is programmed to do? Maybe they wrote it so the TV will connect itself to the first available network it finds, with or without my consent. Maybe it's programmed to punish me for not giving them data by withholding features that don't require internet connection. This software is gonna do whatever is best for the corporation, my interests be damned.

I want software that does what I want without concern about some corporation's bottom line. Software I can trust.

> The only thing these companies are doing is holding a mirror to our society, and we really don't like the reflection.

If that would be the only thing they're doing that wouldn't be so much of a problem. The main issue is that those companies are massive amplifiers of those violent tendencies.

And as long it doesn't hurt their bottom line or results in bad press they tend to give less than a shit.
Yes, you're right, feed seems to be the major differentiator. RSS never really reached the same user experience.

> somehow everyone is on Twitter now.

Well, you can't reach me through Twitter. I think the "everyone" you refer to is "everyone who thinks they're important". Lots of politicians, journalists, "celebrities" and academics.

I tried to read the tweeter's opinions, but gave up after three sentences (3 tweets). That's a truly awful way to consume a reasoned argument.

"Please temper your expectations: even with hardware documentation, an optimized Vulkan driver stack (with enough features to layer OpenGL 4.6 with Zink) requires many years of full time work. At least for now, nobody is working on this driver full time3. Reverse-engineering slows the process considerably. We won’t be playing AAA games any time soon."

Agreed caffeine withdrawal is real you don't switch off that habit with meaningful consequences on your body. However maybe tea has been covering the caffeine component and they slowly tapered off.

Additionally apparently having coffee first thing in the morning, your body gets adjusted to that and your brain gets dependent on coffee to get a quick start.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some business tried to monetize with a proprietary version for sale at your local department store, but then the problem would be distribution and finding the right stock levels for the market.

This is a very useful idea; it’s like pegboards for your desk.
And a lot of people look at these "torture" situations as a battle of wills. Nobody is truly being tortured and they aren't really in a dangerous situation (generally). Fear factor is a mix of scary and disgusting, with an audience watching and thinking, "yes, no, yes, not for all the money in the world, maybe, yes".

> FHE gives you NO guarantee about the code that is running on the encrypted data.

You mean in order to validate the data is authentic? Otherwise the code running on the data is irrelevant, as it can't access the data itself (and thus preserves the before-mentioned privacy).
I still use browser-side XSLT in my apps. Google had threatened to remove support but there was much pushback from the enterprise community that has many business apps using that approach so Google backed down. Still no guarantee that they'll pull the plug in the future.

I wrote https://bookmarklets.arantius.com/unfix several years back. Ended up using the "nuke" variant in practice.
Sorry but I still fail to see how that would be a problem, since the output of the program (e.g. the ML model parameters) would themselves not be intelligible to you. To make _any_ (non-cryptanalytical) inference on the plaintext of the homomorphically encrypted data _necessarily_ requires that the attacker at some points can access or execute some classical code on the plaintext. This would obviously violate the "fully" part of FHE.

Edit: Okay so I might now understand you refer to a scenario where the user submits their data in homomorphic form to the cloud, where an AI model is trained on it. The AI model parameters are later returned to the user's device, which then decrypts them with the user's key and executes a classical model with those parameters, and then resubmits the user's data after processing with the said ML model (unencrypted) back to the cloud. It's true the user usually has no way of auditing the code / model that runs on their device, but isn't that rather easily alleviated by opening up the APIs for communicating with the cloud part of the service?
What does this mean? The article has no examples at all so is this just self reported nonsense statistics?

There's a hint that maybe it's about applications with low code/no code that end users are expected to understand. This doesn't count as an "IT task" in my mind. This is you're given a tool and expected to learn how to use it.
Yeah, and many more. But I've seen multiple people argue that using FHE will magically solve all their privacy problems and its far from true. FHE (and similar technologies) solve a piece of that "puzzle" and most providers somehow gloss it over.
Testing in a repl is easier and not messy at all if you use the Clojure arrow macro: (-> x f g h) You can see each step clearly, and build each result on top of what you did previously.
> The thing I am confused about is why this happened at the announcement. The big measures had already been announced [...]

I'm far from an expert, but to be totally honest I think most people didn't really expect it to happen this way. The media were all talking about how it's not possible and no one knew where the funding would come from. Everyone was mostly expecting it to not happen to be quite different and more complex.

It turns out we overestimated both the PM and the Chancellor.
In the 1990s there was a fad for replacing mainframe "green screen" applications with "client server" applications that might have been implemented as a desktop application that directly did SQL queries against a database.

It was a notorious failure because of problems with performance and security.

> they're big unwieldy organisations and one part of the org can be doing things that would horrify and be stamped on hard by another part if they found out

I think people on "the outside" completely underestimate how true this is. If you've never worked at a 100K employee firm, and especially a bank.. its unimaginable. It sets up a lot of weird incentives, particularly for some rules/processes to seem very arbitrary and rigid. This is because the sample size is so big, they end up worrying about the worst thing the worst person could do.

Inevitably this leads to backdoors and side channels to work around the standard processes because these processes make doing your job insufferably more difficult.

For years we had chat apps which were horribly slow on desktop and had no mobile app, while we all had iPhones/Androids in our pockets.

An anecdote would be that at one bank I worked, releasing a new version of our application required filling out a change request form. This form was a desktop app which was multi-page, multi-tab, with pop-up modals. There were radio buttons, checkboxes, drop down selectors, and free form text fields. Once certain parts were completed, you couldn't go back and correct them if wrong and had to start again. We had 1-2 out of 20 devs good at filling out the form, and it took 45 minutes. We then had to chase 5+ MD-level (don't read email / chat / etc) to click the approve button between then & when we wanted to release. We budgeted a week to chase these guys. Again if we failed to get approvals it went back to square 0 and start over on the form again.
My suggestion to you, then, is this: instead of making blanket statements and allowing for a teeny-tiny exception for edge case, try to remember that the market is FULL of those edge cases. Almost the entire education market, billions of dollars of revenue, fits into what you described as "exceptionally bursty" and didn't even include in your first blanket dismissal. I suspect education isn't the only market that surprises you with its burstiness.

We frequently see links at HN that fall over and die after they're linked. On the one hand, that's usually because they've misconfigured a personal blog and lack caching. On the other hand, some services just weren't ready for HN traffic and failed to scale up. Which.... they wouldn't, were they running on a cloud provider like AWS.

It's possible for any service to be surprisingly bursty, but I suspect more than you think are bursty on a regular basis.

P.S. DO Droplets are Digital Ocean's response to AWS Lambda, and are still "cloud."
> Why do they need to know all of this about me?

The reason for data is endless. It is a trillion dollar industry! But IP geolocation isn't something to be worried about. Every and each popular website you visit probably has that information about you. Handful of websites do this on the frontend but the rest of them do it on the backend.

I have no idea how they use your IP geolocation, but it is mainly used for security and sales intelligence.

Let's say someone is taking advantage of their free tier. They could be churning accounts as they hit limits. So as a protection a website can find common attributes from each account's IP address say, city/post code or ASN or ISP name. A malicious actor can always open a new email address and sign up, but changing their IP address, their location takes a bit more effort.
Yes, OP is apparently under the assumption that FHE was designed to solve all problems, instead of the problems it was designed to solve.
And the actual problem was probably that many browsers don't show the 'https://' in the URL bar, but do include it when copy-pasting.

So a user who copy pasted from the URL bar into the DNS records (probably following some guide) ended up with the wrong thing in there.
From the parent:

"I don't think conservatives are attempting to endanger sex workers - they believe sex work is fundamentally risky and leads to abuse."

Having established that you don't refute my claim that (at minimum) large portions of the conservative constituency take a militantly hard line on the topic of sex work that puts us a lot closer to "well, I knew this guy once who claimed to be a conservative that also said this thing once" than "the conservative position on sex work is X". If you insist I can absolutely compile a list of links of everything from "religious leaders" to pundits and politicians openly railing against sex workers. Your sassy banter doesn't impress.
The times it happened to me, I started little chit chat about life in general, whatever point was spoken before, about the state of the industry, the product of the company, some event, for example CPPCON, like "do your company participate in CPPCON?" That would be a starter for abridging the moment.
> Why is the idea of a "book" tied so closely to the physical medium it is printed on?

Maybe because until some 15 years ago, physical books/magazines/newspapers have been _the_ medium that people had been using to consume the vast majority of written texts over centuries, from their very childhood to old age.

Doesn't surprise me at all.
XML and XSLT has been a mainstay of my career for over 20 years. They are web standards with multiple implementations. It'll keep plugging along for another 20 years while all these other proprietary "frameworks" come and go.
As a former Ironman distance triathlete anywhere from 11 to 16 hours of completion time, caffiene on race day is a pillar of maintaining both mental and physical sustained exertion.

In Ironman France, which effectively has a Tour De France category 1 climb of 12 miles up a mountain, I got sleepy at the top of the climb, to the point I wanted to take a nap. Yes, you can get sleepy during an ironman.

I has heard 1-2%, 2-4% was greater than I thought. If that is true, no endurance athlete is competitive at the top levels without doing caffeine, so it's almost guaranteed every olympic athlete does caffeine.
You can dislike his work, but FYI you cannot repurpose the word "kidnapping" like this. First, it's a lie. Second, it diminishes the traumatic experience of real kidnapping survivors.

Stop repurposing real words and making a joke of real experiences to satisfy for your own emotional position.

Don't bother quoting the definition here and bending around the truth to further your distortion.
I like Clojure the language but what I found frustrating was that even more than in other ecosystems a package would get momentum, become popular, and then mysteriously die suddenly without any real replacement. A classic example was the statistics package Incanter -- it had the potential to become a new version of Xlispstat for the 21st century and then it just died.
> it won't give them a burst of energy unless they drink a lot of coffee and a smaller amount can conversely calm them down

That might just be addiction? Nicotine relaxes smokers, but because they're in withdrawal when they do not smoke.
doing wrong probably my whole life.. the first coffee, comes always literally 5 minutes after waking up. Wake up, walk to the kitchen, drink water while brewing coffee, start the day, repeat.
And it ends up being self-perpetuating. You mostly don't have newsrooms any longer and much of the reporting is being done by young people earning pennies. Which makes quality even worse, so less money for decent journalism, rinse and repeat.

There is a fair bit of decent material out there but you have to seek it out to some extent. And most people still won't pay. You may not like The Economist for whatever reason but you can't really argue it's not good journalism.
Great post, thank you for it. It is difficult being a deep thinker manytimes.

As this applies to access tokens, if your application doesn't need a JWT, it shouldn't care whether the authorization server returns a JWT or an opaque token. On the flip side, if your app needs a JWT, then the authorization server must return one.

Revocation is either offered by the authorization server or managed by the app. If the authorization server manages it, then JWTs vs. opaque tokens are not a concern because the authorization server issues and revokes its own tokens. If the app manages it, then generally it does so based on the token type. If the app revokes based on opaque tokens, it can handle any type of token, including JWTs. If it revokes based on JWTs, then JWTs are required.

Beyond that, the only differences between the two token types are size and data leaks. Size rarely matters (hehe), so just ignore that. Data leaks are only an issue if you app is leaking JWTs, which is usually considered a critical vulnerability. Remember that access tokens are the main units of identity and if I steal an access token, I effectively become that user/client.
The same way it's doing it now.
This is why you take the whole lane. Cars are forced to merge like they do around any other stopped or slow traffic, giving you a lot more room than if you allow them to squeeze by in the same lane as you, near where the parked cars are swinging their doors.

Well, in a way, but that comes because when one is asked for clarifications one tends to be more "complete" in the writing, leaving "less gaps to be filled by the reader". The verbosity is there because the original shorter expression was not clear to some.

I would say, it's (also) "the way I think". From reflection to expression it's pretty literal (apart from the hassle of picking the most proper terms).

Wait, how would hardware be possibly leaky? The encryption/decryption can leak data, sure, but that's unrelated to FHE. If your hardware can leak info about the plaintext on the side processing the encrypted data, then you could do the same in software anyway, and the FHE scheme itself is clearly broken...

> If your eyes are feeling the strain you can quickly change settings and switch to Dark Mode ... our design team has reworked the entire Dark Theme to make it more consistent, beautiful and easy on the eye.

If your eyes are feeling strained/sore, stop using your computer for a while.

If reading black/dark text on a white/light background is regularly causing you discomfort, consider improving the lighting around your display. Ideally, get regular sleep and go outside (in the sun) every day.

Light text on a dark background ("dark mode") takes more work to focus on because more dilated pupils let more light in. Your eye muscles doing work causes eye strain.

Depends on your people and what you define "design system" as. For most startups I'd highly recommend using off the shelf component libraries so that you don't waste time reinventing the wheel, and have your ux designers use those to assemble bigger patterns that can be reused. (Here's how we list things out, here's our tables, etc). Pick a framework that can easily use your branding colors and fonts, boring tech like Bootstrap, etc can go a long way here.

Developing a "Design System" can be a time sink in the wrong hands though, your people shouldn't be more interested in making that vs your product.
I like LEGO ideas, but from all the ideas I've supported only one has ended up becoming a set. A lot of the ideas have reached the required 10,000 signatures but it seems like to go beyond you need way more.

I like this program a lot but it's a little frustrating to see so many good ideas shut down! Though entirely understandable, I wish LEGO would at least provide a list of pieces and an instruction set for models that reach those 10,000 signatures :) some kind of "build it yourself" solution.
