Do Not Run An Exit Node!

very few people have legitimate uses for an exit node. And it is a security nigthmare for everyone (you owning their crimes, them being at your MiTM attacks mercy, etc)

But Do Run A Tor Node!

everyone should join tor and it should become the main net, with only tor traffic.
Ok. I’ve done it, and the money is nice. However it is a bit stressful and you’ll pay thru the nose in taxes, so I wouldn’t recommend long term.
Why is Facebook any worse than Google?
Sure, but I won't, and neither will many other people, realistically.

There is no technical need at all for the same password to gate both local device unlock and remote end-to-end encryption key escrow.

It's a pure security vs. availability (and realistically genius bar support load) tradeoff, and I even think they nailed it for the vast majority of users! I just wish they'd let advanced users participate in that tradeoff more actively.

What's the government think about it? I remember they had problems with them before trying to enable end to end encryption.
We also recently left them for self-hosted GHA runners. The other problem is that their pricing is insane - we're building exactly the same code for ~20% of the cost.
Because it's a problem without a viable solution.

We can, and do, mandate racist employers to not discriminate in hiring.

We can, and do, mandate ableist businesses to accommodate the disabled.

We can, and do, mandate sexist banks and lenders to do business with women.

But we can not, obviously, mandate women to have sex with physically undesirable men.

This is not a matter of people denying reality so much as it's people pretending to deny reality because openly acknowledging it presents society with an intractable problem that requires reversing the clock on feminism's progress and denying rights to half the population to "solve".

Everyone knows that looks are extremely important to women. And those that don't know it intuitively have a plethora of stated versus revealed preference studies to reference. We deny it not because we don't know it. We deny it because acknowledging unsolvable problems is extremely uncomfortable.

Everyone in adtech knows it. Apple (and Amazon) are both rapidly growing their advertising businesses.

I always thought the client-side hashing plan was something of a giveaway to authoritarian governments which would have demanded Apple check their own list of verboten files against what the users had uploaded to iCloud. E.g. tank man photos.

So I read this as Apple quietly saying "we're not bending to China on privacy". Which is the first step toward probably being banned from providing Apple services in China.
I mean the houses are "designed" insofar as plans are drawn up, etc. They're just all the "same" and the builders want the ability to "add uncharges" so you have a basic house that looks pretty decent, but once you select all the available admins (the three car garage, dormers on every root, gables everywhere) you end up with a McMansion.
Apart from some very niche options, so is everything else.

This is about trust. If you don't trust the manufacturer of your hardware (or developers of software), that puts you down a very specific path of what you can happily purchase.

> desperate enough to use an evil pyramid scheme environmental wrecking shitcoins like bitcoin or ethereum

Your post is mostly okay, but you're wrong about this. Bitcoin and Ethereum are not any of that nonsense. If you truly believe that, you may have been brainwashed by the people that desperately want to ban them in some way or another, and to centralize everything resulting in the dangers you stated.
For all companies, public or private, they need to grow their gross margins if they want to survive. The last 5-10 years was inappropriately focused on revenue and headcount growth and the tide has very abruptly shifted.

Can you describe your phone and software setup? I’ve installed lineage before but lately have been a little stuck deciding on my next open phone. I’d like to be able to install microg. I don’t plan on necessarily using this as a daily phone all phone but have some medical automations that rely on Bluetooth and in a perfect world could have some water resistance or waterproofing.

Finding unique values (i.e. Deduplicating) using a Set/HashSet; hell, even just using a HashMap with boolean keys would give a passing grade (esp in languages like Go where that's how it's done).
"Quantum" is losing its magic. The researchers in the field really over-promised, and so far they have delivered almost nothing to show for it on general-purpose computing problems. 15 was factored some time ago, and the record number that has been factored with Shor's algorithm as of 2022 is 21.

Personally, I think D-wave and the other attempted Ising machines took the right approach: use quantum computing to solve problems that are essentially reducing to energy minimization of a system.
Maybe this is just a matter of the buzzword doesn't precisely convey the technical implementation, but I don't want "end-to-end" encrypted backups, I want backups that are stored encrypted on the server and that only I can decrypt
Musk hardly fits the definition of an entrepreneur. Getting lucky with a couple of golden parachutes and investing in other people's ideas doesn't qualify imho.
It's pointless reading about stuff you already know. Unless you want to do it for sheer enjoyment, which is quite unlikely.

Of course, you may want to discover a few snippets that you don't know about yet. But those little snippets are few and far between.
I don't know if it's a dark pattern. In general, as somebody offering a search engine, you want the most flexibility to offer the best result to the user. You might have the perfect item, but it's not available on Prime. Sometimes you even want to show results that break the user's filters especially if the filter is a default.

Think about a real world interaction.

"I want a red sweater shipped via Prime"

What's a better response, A or B?

A: "Sorry, no red sweaters. The closest thing I have is some red t-shirts."

B: "It's not Prime, but I have a highly rated red sweater that can be there in 5 days"
Ugh, Centurylink. Their networks, both DSL and Fiber, support IPv6 but you need to go into the router config and explicitly enable it which is why they show up as 0.5% IPv6 supported in that first link despite every other top-10 US ISP having at least 50%. I've enabled v6 on my home connections with them on both DSL and fiber and I've had absolutely no problems with it. I wish they would enable it by default with their consumer network equipment.
Thank you. A lot of the questions in this thread have me seriously doubting myself.

It's only for backups, that means my live files on the iCloud are still plainly available to Apple, correct?
You’ll lose access to that by default, with the ability to temporarily opt in according to what they’ve said.
I call bullshit on this comment. Lots of times when a study of some sort is posted the comments are filled with people calling bullshit on the study either due to sampling bias or too small of a sample or flawed experimental protocols.

My understanding of how E2E encrypted iMessage works is that in group chats it does indeed send 30 copies of your messages, individual encrypted for each recipient in the group.

There's not much effort needed. The comparison to Canada is obvious. This is completely new tactic for dictatorships. What else do you expect to be said?

At this point you either contort in various ways to fit the narrative or you stand by a consistent set of values.

To me personally, hypocrisy is the worst ideological crime. It's always possible to construct a narrative, the harder thing to do is realizing when your values collide with your 'interest' or political side and standing by your values instead of the easy choice of picking the narrative.

If your moral values only ever happened to be on your side, you don't have values, you have excuses.

I have no idea, I only use blender rarely and almost never render. eevee is intended to be compatible with cycles, I would guess that if your scene does not depend on the advanced lighting that a forward renderer like cycles enables it could replace cycles. I also expect it to be as good, if not better than ue5 as it does not have to hit the framerates that ue5 has to achieve.

Yep that is the plan. There is a good table in the article that shows the implementation for each service and rationale for it. Most of the iCloud services are now able to enable an optional feature where the user’s devices are the only ones that have keys.

It’s an attractive theory that only the prettiest buildings survive, but doesn’t seem to be supported by the evidence. Photographs from the turn of the century reveal that there are simply fewer unattractive buildings.

There’s an interesting theory at the end that suggests maybe every generation sees it’s own architecture as ugly, because it’s more common, etc. This seems possible, but there’s little evidence of it in the past, and it’s strange that it doesn’t happen as much with other aesthetic preferences (music, art, film). There are certainly some “born in the wrong generation” types, but it doesn’t seem as common or to span generations like the aversion to modern architecture.
Nearly ten years ago I was asked FizzBuzz over the phone. As in: program it by talking. I'm 90% sure I got it correct, but I believe the interviewer didn't understand the logic of negation on a zero modulus result and I didn't pass. It worked well as a filter for me for that company. Coincidentally, they're on the front page right now for layoffs.

So be careful with this kind of stuff. You may not be filtering what you think you are.
There is a big difference between free thought and making false claims, scientific or otherwise.

Not quite what I meant. I don’t expect a non-Polish speaker to either be able to understand or pronounce words you used or some of the other classic examples like “Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz”. In fact, while letters look the same, the rules for pronouncing are different.

> Does anyone... actually like CircleCI?

It's a weird feeling where they once felt like a reprieve from all the PITA "enterprise" stuff, but now they're that PITA kinda-poorly-minded "SaaS" stuff, which sucks compared to... a Microsoft product?

It's kinda obvious in retrospect. Enterprise became SaaS faster than SaaS could become enterprise.
Do you work in a particularly mathematical field?

I've been working in tech for 15 years now, and can't remember any time that I've needed to use imaginary numbers. The only reason I still remember anything about them is because my hobby is electronics.
It depends on what you mean by forum.
Yeah, a lot of subject-based forums are being "redditified", and other switched to the real-time Slack/Discord model.

Also, I see a lot of community-based products, where forums are just a component (example : outverse [0] ).

But I don't think simple forums platforms are (or never will be) out of vogue. There may even a be lack of diversity right now.

PS Actually. I always wanted a forum with a UI like Hacker News or Radiohead Message board [1]. I like that bare and outlined design. Does a similar OSS forum exist?

And I showed a video where they are, clearly "sufficient".

Which is a completely different discussion.

It's coming.
I suspect it has a lot to do with the rate at which companies can borrow money.
All of the above.

Suppose you have a company with no money, but with a bank willing to loan you money at market rate. You can do three projects, one costs $1 mil, and after a year brings you $1.5 mil in profit, the second costs $1 mil and brings $1.05 mil after a year, and the third costs $1 mil and brings $1.01 mil.

In 2021 interest rates were near zero, so all three projects would have given you a profit. The worst of the bunch only $10,000, but that's still nice. So you hire people to do all of them. But now at the end of 2022 interest rates are about 4% and climbing. The loan for each project now costs $40,000, making the last project unprofitable, and the second project will only be profitable for a couple more months at best. So you cut projects 2 and 3, laying off everyone working on them.

That's how a healthy company would end up with layoffs. A less healthy company might only have projects like the second and third one, and is now running around trying to improve efficiency. And some companies don't make profit at all, being afloat on the hope of eventually making some, and slowly sinking as that money becomes more and more expensive.
Why not? I’ll take that over them writing laws that only benefit the wealthy and big corps any day of the week.
I wouldn't say I agree but can understand the point of view.

I think a lot of people would feel differently about someone who takes his own life because of a terminal illness such as cancer, where it's seen as a way to end up in the same place while avoiding a lot of pain and suffering. "Death with dignity." So why don't we feel the same way about someone with painful, debilitating depression? We don't really understand how to cure depression. We have some drugs that help some people, analagous to what narcotics do for people in physical pain. But we don't understand how to cure depression, as we don't understand how to cure cancer. Maybe someday we will, but what does that do for the people suffering today, who just want a way out?
I don't know about CircleCI specifically, but generally, pre-IPO companies are pushed to reinvest profits in favor of aggressive/continued growth, instead of profit. Most companies intentionally overspend, but now that the investments are drying out, they are changing their posture. So, I would guess it's the former, i.e., letting people go to reduce the risk of running out of money.

At the same time, depending on how the business is doing, some investors might look for exits too instead of plateau or later raising another round. So, it could be both.

Dudes didn't do anything but work at Twitter, no need to insult their attractiveness.
What do you change if it's clear that the candidate is completely incapable of doing any of those things? Do you cut it short? Talk them through it step-by-step? Unfortunately I've found that not all candidates who get through a recruiter can do what they say they can, so I keep a question at the very start that eats up maybe 5-15 minutes (sometimes less) for a good candidate, but some very bad candidates spend a full 45 minutes on it and don't finish.
"How many are objectively above a 7/10? Probably one of them…and not for his looks." The employees did nothing to deserve that.

If you want failover-independent IPs you can keep using NAT, ie NPTv6, at the gateway level and not bother with giving public IPs to your LAN machines.
They gave both a compile time and runtime configuration option to set the default behavior, package maintainers didn’t read the docs and shipped it incorrectly. I doubt systemd people are at fault here.

Plus, on a theoretical level that is the correct behavior, you don’t want to leave running processes gobbling up resources under a logged out user without explicitly allowing it.
1) I'm aware of the difference. However, I think the Apple phrase is sufficiently ambiguous to legally cover an image hash as well. An image hash is technically a checksum and is made of raw bytes that cannot be converted back to the image. If Apple is indeed using an image hash, I don't have a problem with this - it's their servers.

2) The fingerprint check was supposed to be done client-side based on a server supplied list so that Apple would not get the image and image hash unless there was a match (I'm simplifying this, there was a rather complex procedure involved with thresholds and manual review).

My main concern was that normalizing and making possible client-side scanning would lead to other things being scanned. e.g. China adding images of Winnie the Pooh to scan list, and then sending every Chinese suspect to dissident-ville in the sky. The Apple plan here was insufficient: it wanted to rely on multi-country lists, this had both legal and practical problems - e.g. China has sufficient sway with friendly countries to add its choice of images to the list.

I don't think doing every single government is feasible. There will always be a “fraud haven” with lax law enforcement or something. I think we should instead teach people to:

- only trust businesses with exactly as little of their money as needed (definitely don't store all their savings on Binance),

- if the amount is big, only deal with business registered in a jurisdiction that does recognize crypto.
as the person you're talking about - I just up-voted you anyway, just because this is interesting :)
WeeChat type thing?
I use Firefox just fine on iOS. Sure, it's just user chrome and Firefox Sync, but those are the things I care a lot more about than the rendering engine.

I'd love to support Gecko on mobile too, as I've moved the vast majority of my desktop usage to it, but Webkit is still fighting the Blink/Chromium hegemony, too, and that's still fighting the good fight.
Another issue is that it’s super obvious when a post like yours is authored by ChatGPT.

I actually look forward to the return of decent ads. Up to the '80s, people actually bought magazines for the ads in them. I loved the old Marklin catalogs, the weird devices in electronic magazines, the games in game magazines, the software libraries and debugging tools in dev magazines.

Some of the hacker news posts are basically ads: 'Look what we made, buy it or invest in it.' I don't mind, in fact I find it interesting and inspiring what pops up. Sometimes I actually use it.

But the key here is contextual. This month on youtube, I get the same ad about some political party multiple times an hour. But I am not at all thinking about politics, so they only annoy me. If youtube would just show me an ad based on the content of the clip I am looking at, instead of guessing who I am and being wrong most of the time. We heard a song we liked on a random Youtube music channel and had to hunt down the title and artist to buy it. Just place a 'buy' button on there already.
