No, the point of FHE isn't that regular encryption is already compromised. It's that you can do processing on encrypted data while it's encrypted, without decrypting it. This opens up many more possibilities. For example, a cloud provider might store your data only in encrypted form and you can still do queries to pick out particular data or do some basic analysis, with the algorithm running on cloud computers, the result delivered to you in encrypted form, which you then decrypt with your private key.

The only problem is that there's a large performance penalty still, though there has been major progress in making it more efficient.
> Nobody takes that as a serious treat.

You misunderstood the threat (probably because news are always distorting things and people tend to believe uncritically in times of war). Putin's threat is very clear: he will use tactical nukes ("small" scale ones) to defend "Russia" against aggression... by annexing part of Ukraine, he gets the excuse he needed to use them against Ukrainian forces... that's why the Kremlin keeps pointing out to their "nuclear doctrine" which states that Russia may use nukes in self-defense. The annexation makes total sense when you understand that.

People claiming the threats are directed at western Europe countries are misinformed or trying to generate panic intentionally. If that was the actual threat, you would be right, it wouldn't be a serious one... but the one he actually meant is very close to becoming a reality... just wait a few weeks and you'll see it... specially in case Ukraine continues imparting serious losses on Russian forces. There's approximately zero chance Russia will just go away from the territories it occupies now.

the servers inside Iranian data centers still have access to the outside world.

Knowing that, the simplest and easiest solution that would avoid detection is to SSH tunnel into that datacenter and SSH-ProxyForward out of that datacenter into Amazon AWS via SSH and use that SSH proxy chain as a SOCKS proxy for browsers. Make sure the browser is using the SOCKS proxy (SSH) for its DNS. Many sites will make your friends solve captchas if they show up from Amazon so if you have a friend outside of Iran in the same AWS region that is willing to open SSH on their home router then one could add that private home router as their last hop in the SSH proxy forward. Do not go directly from the datacenter to the home. It is normal and expected for Datacenters to SSH to Amazon.

SSH Client -> Iranian Datacenter / Server -> AWS VM -> Home router in same region as AWS -> Internet.

If many people are using the same server and VM then make sure that MaxStartups and MaxSessions have been increased in sshd_config as well as any PAM limits on the servers for open files on every node in the path. Clients should enable ControlPath / ControlMaster in their ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config. To harden each hop configure PermitOpen to only allow the SSH hops and the final hop should also permit *:443

Examples of all these steps can be found on SuperUser / StackExchange / ServerFault and are all public knowledge. All above-board, no hacking involved.

[Edit] Removing the Squid MITM SSL-Bump proxy idea. That would make follow on questions harder to explain.

[Edit from Fatnino's input] If your Amazon VPC's are too outbound-restricted then pick another VPS provider that is commonly used for hosting 3rd party tools for datacenters, preferably one already used by that datacenter.

[Edit] In theory hypothetically speaking every hop possible could have misconfigured but realistic looking syslog so that SSH connections are not logged on the server and in theory a log-less silent rule in the edge firewall to not log SSH connections. Sometimes syslog disks also fill up by mistake. SSH can also be performed in ephemeral diskless containers such as Docker, Podman and LXC.
I agree, but if you're never going to step foot in Iran and have no contacts there then I don't see why not.
I would argue it's laws that make them behave this way. Of course profit-seeking companies would like to profit off everything. But they also don't want to risk be sued or investigated.

First, it was not mainstream. Second, I run into literal nazi propaganda randomly and into literal behading videos with one search (after random find suggested it exists).

I also randomly run into write up a out how to steal cars and how to put spyware into someone else's phone.

None of that stuff is hard to find. It is just that mainstreami mainstream is not interested and it would be absurd to blame them.
This makes sense, especially the bit about tooling. I'm unfamiliar with the state of Java tooling besides very simple tasks.

On the other hand using things like debuggers and reading stack traces in python/js "just work" for me. Maybe because the tooling and the language have evolved together over a longer period of time.

I also feel like the reimplementation of all functions to support async is not a big deal because the actual pattern is generally very simple. You can start by awaiting every async function at the call site. New libraries can be async only.
I wonder when will personal CO2 scrubbers become a norm. With atmospheric CO2 growing ever higher and everyone having a CO2 detector (and an air "purifier") at home it's the next step.

HN, review my PR and give a new OSS contributor advice
I’ve never done open source work in my spare time. The only time I’ve contributed to an open source project was for an internship, so I’m not really sure that counts - the guidance was super strong.

I picked out an open source project I liked and found an issue I felt like I could do, and then hacked around until I solved it. I’m looking for advice for improvement be it hygiene, code style, communication style, anything. Help me grow as a soon to be entry level programmer.

IMO it's only safe to A/B test things where the product vision doesn't matter one bit. Stuff like where to place the button on the screen to drive conversions on a landing page or what copy to use to target X market segment.

Edit: A better way to put that might be - only use A/B testing to make tactical decisions, but never use it to decide strategy or logistics.
In the context I think it’s clear what they mean.
Agreed, and that's if they review the product at all.

Lots of reviewers talk about the delivery, how Amazon Prime bungled the return or even a completely different product; all completely unrelated to the actual features of the product you'll be buying. Pair that with how Amazon allows companies to put completely different products on the same offering with "variants" that are again abused by companies to transfer reviews from a well received product onto a poorly received one. Most users just look at the five start v. one star ratio in the end anyway so an electrician going over a wire gets the same final weight as someone that confusingly put a question in the review box.

I've put up good quality critical reviews too and had them silently removed. Amazon may be an okay place for getting an item, but too many people use it as a discovery and curation vehicle and that's where the manipulation starts and ends. I get better product recommendations looking almost anywhere else than the Amazon search box.

Absolutely.

I remember listening to the DVD commentary track for X2 (from 2003), and loving that scene near the beginning where Nightcrawler is hiding out in a cathedral but losing control of his teleportation powers because he's being remotely controlled/possessed by the villain of the story. Bryan Singer talks on the track about how great it was to fling the character (can't remember if it it was actually Alan Cumming or a stuntman) from the rafters, and how much better and more weighty it looked to have a "real" shot and just have to remove wires/harnessing vs filming it as a blank canvas and having to insert the character digitally.

The economy is never "stable". It is constantly in a cycle of ups and downs, over-investment and under-investment, easy money and tight money...

If you want to successfully "disrupt" the mobile network industry, you need to implement one specific regulatory change: force the networks to strictly bill people per use, with no minimums or monthly fees. So if you are making 90% of the calls from a dense urban area and 10% from occasional road trips or hikes, you can place these 90% calls through a cheaper local provider, and use your major provider for the remaining 10%.

With the current "monthly plan" model it is simply impossible to launch a new competing service because your users will still have to keep their current subscription. You could argue that they would switch to a lower plan, but with the current plan prices, you could save like 10-20% by halving the amount of minutes/data you get, so nobody will do that.

No way the founders did not understand that and no way they expected an average retail miner to think about that and start asking those questions.

If you want an example how the below-inflation interest rates together with lack of antitrust enforcement create incentives for various grifts vs. long-term profitable businesses, you got one right here.
Yes. Seems that power cycles also affect these numbers.

Not at all - in most architectures, your data objects know nothing about how they are being stored, instead delegating that to a repository class or something similar.

Adding persistence logic to a data object adds all kinds of bloat - it has to have a connection to the database, which now makes unit testing a pain in the neck and introduces all kinds of weirdness around serialization. Now it has a bunch of CRUD methods, so developers have to know which methods are for business logic versus persistence. Also, data objects with persistence logic aren't really suited to be published in a shared library as clients should not access your database directly.

All around, it's just a really terrible idea.

Between 2009-2010.

1. When all my high school friends joined. I created an account and added people. I had about 10 people on there.

Then Facebook decided that I had to pay for those 10 people to see my post, there pop-ups requesting money.

At some point. My post wasn’t reaching people. I would login and nothing was update. But on my friend device, he had just posted it.

We all just went back to texting and paying for data. Back when Moblie companies in the USA charge people by MBs and we couldn’t stream continuously. Basically we all didn’t have smart phones yet. So it was a pain to share stuff digitally, and Facebook just worked.

I think Facebook was doing an experiment to see how they could generate revenue and use their algorithms to manipulate us.

Regardless; they lost people that year, the sample of manipulation of the feed was random. These where 16-18 year olds post not reaching their peers. Can you imagine posting something and non of your friends see it, until Facebook decides when to show it ???? SMH.

Again. In 2017.

2. I tried again to create an account again in 2017 in college for a project to add people.
Facebook requested I upload my government ID to verify, it was me. Wtf seriously? Why would anyone do that.

Let’s just say, we found alternatives other than Facebook to share polls, ideas and projects.

At young age. Facebook seriously started manipulating people’s feeds, it’s probably worst now for people who didn’t escape due to machine learning. Lord God. Save those people.

I agree... I have a bunch of cheap indoor air quality measuring devices, and they all consistently read temp, pressure, and humidity close together. My CO2 meter measures exactly what I'd expect -high levels with windows closed, correct outdoor levels with windows open. My cheap PM2.5 air quality meter reads almost exactly what I see in purple air when I take it outside. Basically, I purchased a bunch of diverse cheap air quality sensor products that I have verified all read correctly, and are not scams. I don't think this article is accurate.

Caveat Lector: Not a lawyer.

This man is a federal district judge, who's appointment and removal are governed by Article 2 of the Constitution. Specifically, he must be nominated by the president, and confirmed by the Senate for a lifetime term. While he converts to senior status at some point, that doesn't change much in his case*. To remove him, you must have the House of Representative pass a bill of impeachment, the senate must hold an impeachment hearing, and 60 senators must vote in favor. That bars him from all federal service.

To change local district procedure, the Chief Judge can simply make it so. A lot easier than getting Senators to agree on something. One guy who's under a lot of outside pressure (from appeals courts and potentially the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who senators were asking to look into the issue) is highly motivated to fix a problem in his house, so to speak.
While I find doxing distasteful, I think it's a bit dishonest to describe it as "sharing private information" and "doxing attacks". The overwhelming majority of dox that I've seen is based on public information, usually information that people have shared publicly themselves. For example, if I use the same username for my business profiles and online fetish profiles, anyone who searches that username can easily put the two together. That's why it's so important for people to judiciously guard their online privacy — because once it's out there, it's nearly impossible to remove.

That being said, I don't really understand the point being made. Telegram isn't doing anything special, to my knowledge, to encourage or enable "doxing attacks", so you could make the same argument about Discord or Facebook groups. This feels like another attack on encrypted communications under the guise of protecting people ("think of the children!")

> If you're a utility, you do not take liability for your services, but you cannot pick and choose which customers you service so long as it's legal.

Unless you have an ironclad way to verify the identity of every poster, you'll get a bunch of illegal stuff anyway. And if you're a "utility", then who is responsible for removing that from your service?

What you're really suggesting is "common carrier", but the difference is most common carriers carry the content in a point to point way, not publicly (FedEx, UPS, your telephone provider). For the common carriers that do have public broadcast (radio, TV, cable) they either have to moderate all their content and are responsible for it (TV, radio) or they have to provide an unmoderated but public access section where they know exactly who the content provider is (cable TV, who gets to choose which channels to carry as long as they have a public access channel).

Isn't this some variation on the idea that as something gets "successful" it becomes shitty? I'm sure there are private corners of the internet where lots of people are going and showing nuts, that by definition most people don't know about, allowing more people than in 2007 or whatever to share what they want. But the internet is also now completely dominated by the blandness of success, so what we see are the successes that have been forced to sell out to the complainers and pearl clutches (there's an associated name I can't remember).

(Incidentally, this is a reason I've argued that the facebook metaverse will suck. It is never going to have some halcyon days as a cool site before success ruins it. It's coming out of the box with people worrying about "groping" and whatnot in a way that will force it to suck by design because everything will be about "safety" and the like, before anything good takes hold. See also the Zune)
GMail was internal project.
Well, we also gotta look at Google's outside incentives, those of being a monopoly. At the end of the day, it's not the most efficient use of resources to innovate internally at a monopoly (better uses include M&A, competitor sabotage, and sales/marketing, which they've of course also done).

Anyways, Google I think has been trying to maintain a semblance of its early culture of innovation so as to attract talent/applicants, to not cause too much internal turmoil, and to make investors think it is still an "innovation" company. Also, because growth comes with bloat and bureaucracy, so may as well have that bloat come up with new products.

Google will never be fixed internally to be its former self or a company centered on innovation because that's just not how monopolies work... Maybe once they capsize (which hopefully they do because monopolies are toxic and anti-competitive), they can once again become an innovator, like with Apple's early capsizing which led to them bringing Steve Jobs back.
