Any government can submit a request or a subpoena to any commercial company in any country. That company might comply, demand a formal subpoena, or oppose the subpoena in court. An international company can choose to leave a country if it thinks that its presence poses a legal risk.

That portal is just to smooth things out when many requests are coming in and avoid confusion. This leak is about DHS, but every law enforcement agency in the US (including local sheriffs) has access to a secure interface to ask for certain things — access to the account of a missing teenager is a classic case for local LEO. Company lawyers use that portal to push back against excessive requests.

It’s just more secure than email accounts that are the best tech too many police departments have and that were spoofed a couple of years ago as part of a wider security scandal.
These are called citations to academics. Without citations, one is just posting their opinions on the internet.

I prepared all of these buddy. These links are very relevant.

Given the form of the way I've been accused, I won't be spending time defending anything for yas.
I agree with you! There's an interesting discussion to be had there in the general case. SourceHut being easily self-hostable means this isn't an issue in this case.
Most countries do not have a court system as heavily skewed towards people with money as the US. You can have "less freedom on paper" and yet be more free in reality. If in doubt compare US courts to Scandinavian or EU courts. There are a lot of asterisks after US Freedom of speech and a lot of Dollar signs.
That sounds nice but it’s not that simple. In the case of react you are doing both. You are importing functions like hooks and render. Then you pass render a function that then gets called by react.
Those are not the same category. In communicators you can store the user / channel from a given time period in a specific partition and that's about it. It's likely never going to be queried after delivery since everyone has a local copy. If it does, you just download a slice based on a client-side generated hash. And the metadata basically doesn't change either.

Compare to Twitter where new people continuously query old messages with quickly changing replies, likes, retweet, mutes, blocks, etc to account for. But you don't want to materialise everyones timeline on every change either. However you likely do want to keep highly replicated snapshots of popular tags and popstars instead of processing actual events. And then you need some system that can query both and merge them into a usable personalised view.
16W of that could be the drives if they are not dropping into a low power state, depending on which drives you have.
As someone who works in crypto[1] but used to work in ML your comments about neural network based ML coudn't be further from the truth.

Which package manager would be more reproducible than pacman and Arch?

We hover around 85% and 89% reproducible packages across all our packages and no distro, to my knowledge, is close to anything like this.

The geography of the "cities" is very different though (look at the density of population maps provided), where "Tokyo Metropolitan" is one third pure mountains, then one third low-density living (think L.A.) and then one third what people normally thinks of the city of Tokyo, all of these in a sausage-like shape, while "Greater London" grows in a circle and so it's a circle-ish area.

See this image with the labels, we should compare the green one instead of the 3 of them. Ideally "Tokyo" would be something more like the purple one, but the purple one is nothing. So we have "23 wards" (green), or Tokyo Metropolitan (the 3 together), neither of which is the best comparison, but def the green one vs London is much better than all of them (the purple dashes are how I think London would look like approx):

> What's that I hear Hacker News and Reddit cry? "It's a Dev Kit for Windows, you moron!" That may be the case, but Microsoft "Loves Linux", and clearly has worked hard to make WSL2 available out of the box on these devices.

If people start buying MS Dev Kits to run Linux CI agents on them this defeats the whole purpose of having a dev kit: getting more people to write programs on and for Windows 11 on ARM.
There is, even if the companies can refuse. The government cannot ask companies to censor something. This is a direct violation of the first amendment.
The UK has one or two state religions, bishops ex officio have seats in (the less powerful house of) parliament, and the upcoming coronation of their king will be a church service (with communion and all). Germany collects taxes on behalf of religious communities. Australia and Canada regularly send public money to religious schools.

I don't think the separation of the Church and State in the US is particularly less than normal. The separation of Church and Politics in the US is probably less than normal, but that's an entirely separate matter, which - to the extent that is antidemocratic - can probably only be addressed by democratic reform.

Robb Oat is a robot software engineer
You are only focusing on government punishing journalists and journalists complying due to fear. This ignores journalists being lazy by accepting and printing leaked stories from government as truth without any verification. Another example is not reporting on topics due to fear of losing their job or social status because it goes against a popular narrative.
Looks like it needs javascript though.

Welcome to C: ...
I'd like to hear more about your view, but I don't quite see how what you said applies. My point is that, _if_ you considered cryptocurrencies to be nothing other than a scam, it makes sense to ban them on account of the harm they cause to others. Your examples of Signal and Telegram are not the same thing at all, as they are general communication platforms also used for many things other than terrorism. If there was such a chat app specifically made for and exclusively used for terrorism, then yes, I think banning it is the way to go on the grounds I mentioned above. Can you elaborate more on the details you think we disagree on?

There is court precedent that government cannot use private entities to silence speech, as they are doing in this case. This is a pretty cut and dry violation of the first amendment. Expect lawsuits.
I think you're jumping into the technical bits right away without thinking through requirements/features. Maybe we (the royal 'we' as in all of humanity) shouldn't have a public town square? When you build something to have marginalized voices be heard you are also including all marginalized voices. The MarginalizedVoice super object has EqualRightsForSquirrels as well as HatefulRacistUncle child objects. There are very valid points, that people don't like to hear, about how the concept of someone/group choosing what MarginalizedVoice gets heard and what doesn't isn't fair. If the basis of a platform is "public town square" you're going to have to deal with all MarginalizedVoices.

Content moderation (incl comments) doesn't scale so don't build something with public town squares. That's only a feature platform builders want in order to sell advertisements. If the thought of not having an ad-driven platform leads you to "users won't pay for it" then maybe think of a platform users would pay for or some other way to have it be sustainable.
> What database technology or approach would you go for?

I feel like people consistently underestimate the difficulty of creating a data backend for a social network.

It has to be readable and writable in real time, yet still performant enough for picky consumers. It needs to be able to handle text search. It needs to handle many-to-many relationships at scale (something that mainstream (NO)SQL databases struggle with). It needs a robust authentication layer, and probably a load of other things on top of this.

Building something like Twitter is still, in 2022, a really hard technical challenge.
In reality there are three classes of systems:

* pets

* cattle

* betsy[0][1]

The problem is that configuration management systems think everything is either cattle or pets.

[0] Betsy is a special cow. She will also be slaughtered, so she is not a pet, but she needs to be taken care of in a special way, so she is not a cattle.

[1] When the herd becomes large, you get joahna. joahna is like betsy, but not exactly like betsy so she needs a care and feeding slightly different than the betsys.
Ok that's fair, I don't think anyone is going to die. But calling Twitter a "frivolous discretionary product" feels very dismissive of the real impact that it has on society. For instance: the Capitol Insurrection

To be entirely honest, I have no idea what Elon Musk's management will bring to Twitter--whether it'll get better or worse, and what might happen as a result. I don't personally think anything will crash and burn, but that's not to say that the transition won't be rocky and influence _some_ people at least.

Elon Musk wants to make verified statuses purchasable. Would fake news outlets abuse this to further spread misinformation? I don't know, but I do hope that there is someone in the company who will consider these issues more deeply than I have the time for.

So no, I don't think anyone is a sucker for acting in the best interest of their customers and colleagues. Yes, the new executives might not value their employees the same way anymore, but I don't believe it's right to abandon those you care about in the face of a new enemy. OP sounds to me more like they're loyal to the users, rather than to the organization.
This is why the sentence includes both: successful historical approaches and current approaches. Nevertheless, none of this is why it was once of interest.
It's built by Chad Whitacre and I find it highly amusing. It basically listens on GitHub issues in a repo and tries it's best to address them.

Here an example issue: https://github.com/robb-oat/server/issues/7
I made a nice brown(ish) noise generator for my bedroom. I use it at night and sometimes during the day when I want to meditate, or something. It uses an ATtiny85 to generate white noise, which I filter through a resistor-capacitor. I put it in a mounting I made and used varnished balsa wood to make a nice box for it.

ATtiny85 are dinky little chips to use.

It's instant-on and off, and I don't have to worry about corrupting anything, or some upgrade quirk like I do with the RPi. I was still using my original RPi on a permanent basis until recently. RPis are not obsolete if your requirements are modest. Try running X-Windows and Firefox and you're in for trouble, though.
I'm increasingly believing a "public town square" is of little value across major economic class lines, as any "conversation" meant to represent reality will simply at some point devolve into rhetorical struggle between the haves and have-nots. The haves will then respond with various reality-distortion campaigns, winning over enough of the have-nots to keep the economy spinning for them, and at that point you may as well just go watch Saturday morning cartoons which will make more sense than any "public town square."

To solve this problem: You should be periodically required to submit evidence of your income to this alternative Twitter, and only be allowed to post and see posts of those in your economic class. If your income changes then the class you are visible with/to also changes.
Who has the other 80% of the iOS apps market in those countries?
I mean have you actually used the alternatives? I find most of the people with that opinion are young pups who jumped on the linux train after most of the systemd bugs have been ironed out, but who still have zero experience with the alternatives.
The manufacturers are the ones shipping the toys to the lab, all they have to do is not cut corners on a few examples then they can use the cheaper, more vibrant lead paints on the remainder.

People really hate personal responsibility like this but it's really how the world works. If you need to be sure about something, be it the wholesomeness of a product or that someone won't kick your door in at night, you need to take care of that yourself.
>If they truly need people of different levels of experience, it would make more sense for them to write separate job descriptions that accurately describe the responsibilities of the role.

They would do that if not for laws like this. Instead the JD is a legal checkbox, and you get the actual responsibilities after you apply.

Rewind: The search engine for your life
As I read your last point all I can think is, no one owns the earth, why should private companies own the digital space. It's frustrating when you can see the problem but not offer a solution. Mostly because the ideas are many but to execute is a multi decade endeavour. Not to get too serious but we're effectively talking about a problem that effects humanity and we now have a clown running the show. Elon is doing great things with his other companies and maybe he even finds a way to fix Twitter but it doesn't feel like he doesn't it with any sort of grace or humility, it doesn't feel like he shares the problems of humanity given his wealth and status. The disconnect makes it hard to trust him or root for him especially when it's at the expense of others as we can see by his public trolling on twitter. That's right, yes he's a troll. With over 100M followers...
Vercel and the VC money they generated is probably one of the worst things to happen to FE OSS. I avoid next like the plague.

To make matters worse, now the react and next teams are actively colluding with each other, effectively allowing vercel to have a competitive advantage on feature development for react.

It might seem great now but this is the hairline crack that will destroy the react ecosystem.

I wouldn’t be surprised if vercel tries to buy react and its team.
Accused ‘Raccoon’ Malware Developer Fled Ukraine After Russian Invasion
That's one thing for sure, but I attribute it most to the lack of dumpsters. I am not sure why they were banned, the trash cans supposedly because of terrorism, but the larger containers/dumpsters would make the city so much cleaner and better.

Tip: when there's a typhoon, restaurants close and there's no trash on the street, the rats invade nearby shops looking desperately for food:

I had trouble with that on the original models, even with a good (or at least official) power supply (many reported the issue was worse with cheaper USB power sources).

Never had trouble with the 3 that was a Kodi box and latterly has been used for some electronics experiments, the 4 that is my current Kodi box, or the 400 that has been playing as router+firewall+VPN since early this year (at the time getting a 3 or 4 for the job would have been either expensive or near impossible, and I didn't want to try a potentially less well supported option, but I spotted a nice offer on a 400).
I just learned about this engine. It's different because instead of a camshaft its valves are operated by pneumatic actuators. This detail makes it possible to switch between 2 and 4 stroke cycles depending on engine RPMs and load. The engine's controller can adjust valve timing to maximize performance, minimize fuel consumption or regulate emissions. The model that Koenigsegg is working on will be a 2L inline-3 capable of producing 300 HP (220kW) naturally aspirated. Pretty impressive.
Fair enough, my point of view may be skewed by living here for quite awhile
> How does this work for phones with eSIM? Can you be in multiple phone networks at once?

Yes, you can, and it’s much easier with eSIMs because they can be just be turned on and off through your phone settings as needed.

In this scenario you’re obviously trading redundancy for convenience - if you break your phone, you can’t just pull the eSIM out and pop it into another device. I keep a copy of my eSIM QR codes in 1password, but of course there are risks there too.
That doesn't negate or contradict my point.

Thankfully debit cards are a thing!
Doesn’t Google search basically all of Twitter Anyway? Doesn’t that mean whatever Google has could easily itself be Twitter?
One take is that Google’s problem is the world’s problem.

That is, for 30 years it’s been one chat application after another that in incompatible with the rest. The idea that a Verizon customer can talk to an AT&T customer or that an Honor phone owner can talk to a Nokia phone owner is as foreign to ‘chat’ as the right clicker mentality is to blockheads.

If Europe hadn’t driven away the UK and spent it’s regulatory capital harassing us with cookie pop ups they could have done something significant…. Like require chat interoperability. If Google had seen interoperability as the key problem and made their own chat applications interoperable that would have been a beginning.
> since the distribution is truncated at 40 hours by the law

which makes it a maximum.

Thanks for confirming that it makes no sense to compare hourly rates between Sweden and Seattle, where people could work 60 hours a week.
I put my thoughts about next-gen social into a concept that I like to call "Eigensocial" and expressed that through the Finclout project.

1. Micro-blogging doesn't add much in 2022.
Velocity of content is too high and comment vs content is real.
What would it have what Discord or Telegram can't provide?
The content distribution to the world? Is that really a feature in 2022?

2. Followers are a terrible approximation of shared interest.

3. We use social media to be entertained and not to work. Ideally to connect with people that can help us move ahead. Stack overflow : Learn from smarter programmers. Finclout: Learn from smarter investors.

4. Do we really need a public global town square? Even if yes, there will always be boundaries based on spoken languages. (Chinese, English, Spanish, French, etc).
How much does it help us that an Indian doctor can talk American politics to a South African?
https://twitter.com/majornirmal/status/1587129879341867008

5. How is moderation baked into the product? People will exploit all your weaknesses to get ahead. For Finclout we implemented that as incentivized tasks for all users. How much do you allow for "edge" content. How does your system define "edge"?

6. Bots create engagement. Engagement creates DAUs. What's your strategy to use bots in your growth path? For finclout we don't. However, we have content partnerships in place so the app never feels empty.

7. What added value does decentralization bring? We partnered up with DeSo and ran a node for a while. Yet at this time, I think the only valuable innovation is decentralized identity management. Probably SBT will be the better solution here.

8. In 2023 we should go to a social sites because it provides us with the userbase to connect us with interesting people. I love Lunchclub for that exact reason. IMHO, this is how a social platform should be.
I have some plans (but no time) for an experiment on how the timeline works. I want to focus on curation and have the poster rate items he curates. You'd read from most to least important (with a lot of balancing, but as transparent as possible).

Happy to share details with anyone interested.
I worked in digitalisation in the Danish public sector for a decade. It was at municipality level, but I did some work on the national strategies, and I'm sometimes just dumbfounded with how HN reacts to these sort of things. Of course SoMe networks have these sorts of portals... How did you expect they were allowed to operate in the sense they are? Obviously it's very 1984, but even in the West it's not like the secret police agencies aren't using every bit of privacy data they can get their hands on, they just do it differently than they would in an autocracy because we still have some rule of law protecting western citizens.

Here in Denmark we've had a silly amount of "scandals" going back to echelon, where our government works with the US government to share danish citizen data in a way where our PET and FE (police and defence secret services) also benefit from it. In fact we're currently in the middle of a scandal where the former head of FE is possibly being charged with espionage because he may have told his mother about the US getting raw access to all Danish internet data at some family dinner. I say possibly and may because it's so locked down that we basically only know about it because he was arrested and things got leaked. But we do know that our secret police called every editor of every major news paper in for a little "talk" where they tried to scare our editors into not printing the story.

Like I mentioned, it goes way back, back to before echelon really, and the Internet is fundamentally autocratic because we all need an ISP to get on it. I don't think there is really a big difference between the ISP and other "monopoly" companies in the sense that they all work with the governments in the areas in which they operate.

It's obviously a dance of diplomacy, law and business. As you can see with the GDPR and how the EU is dealing with US tech companies, or how Facebook complies with autocracies around the world. It's no different in western countries, I mean, why do you think Condoleezza Rice got on the board of directors of Dropbox?

In a post Snowden world it's not even tinfoil anymore, but most of us just don't really care.
Doesn't Google?

Wrong. Russia using nukes in Ukraine will inevitably lead to a nuclear conflict between NATO and Russia. I just pray Russia's military refuses to use nukes to decide the military adventure started by Putin.

As far as Russia's concerned NATO is already a combatant in this conflict. It will only take a slight nudge to light the fuse.
It is almost guaranteed that the NYC law will reduced down to only apply to positions which are physically located in NYC.

I’d bet NYC based companies hiring remote workers will be exempt.
