I recently read this blog [0] about how tailscale was thinking of open sourcing a small coordination server but headscale had already been created so that effort was put on hold.

Is tailscale at this point in any way involved in headscale or contributing to it or are there plans to fork it to keep it maintained?

Asking out of curiosity.

It seems like the location of Elon's jet isn't actually public information and requires some sleuthing to figure out. Changes my opinion completely if true.

"Elon uses the FAA PIA privacy program for a private plane ID. When using a PIA address, the owner is anon and private, not public. Sweeney’s workaround is (likely) to spot a (rare) ICAO plane resembling Musk’s & noting the private code."

with all due respect, youve now just basically told an entire anonymous message board that someone in your family is/was related to the security services. This is basically the example why you dont tell people this stuff. The entire article reeks of bs...everyone who has even remotely been involved in any of this knows exactly what youre meant to say if anyone asks you...and its sure as shit not "ok tell everyone x, except if theyre from the financial times, then just be honest" lol
Weak elements secured in multiple places become strong ones. Potentially extremely strong ones.

The workbenches in my shop consist of multiple cheap, crappy pressed-wood folding tables from Office Depot, secured to each other on multiple sides with equally-cheap metal brackets. You'd think this would result in a rickety, unsafe platform that would blow apart in a stiff wind or buckle under light vertical load, but instead they are stouter in all three dimensions than most actual retail-grade workbenches. (And I don't have to feel bad about drilling into them!)

I can see drywall working exactly the same way, given enough studs and enough nails. The problem to be solved -- and the lesson I learned when I hacked these workbenches into existence -- isn't necessarily insufficient rigidity, it's too many degrees of freedom.
> These augmented systems will probably reduce the risk of accidents so greatly that the value proposition for Level 5 driving systems just won't be there.

I've driven a lot for decades and frankly enjoy driving. I drove from TPA to SLC via PHX and back for fun. But I will pay $500/mo level-5 subscription for a comfortable car that drives itself.
I personally really enjoy my ADAS systems on my cars even though it's not to the read a book or take a nap level of automation. It's really just cruise control on steroids. Do you see value in regular cruise control systems, even though it's not 100% automated?

When I'm in stop and go traffic, I really like not having to constantly go back and fourth between the brake and gas pedal, I can just pay attention to what's happening in and around the lane and let the car keep a good follow distance.

I've gone over 100 miles at a time without having to touch the gas or brake pedal, even through stop and go traffic.
The other jet accounts run by the same person such as Jeff Bezos's jets (https://twitter.com/bezosjets) and Mark Zuckerberg's jets (https://twitter.com/zuccjet) were also suspended.

I look very much toward what moderation rationale Elon will give for this. He's most likely trying to avoid bias by banning all the jet accounts so he doesn't look like a hypocrite by only banning his own jet account (as noted in the previous thread), in which case, it's way too late for that.

EDIT: The official ban reason for the personal account suspension is violating rules "against platform manipulation and spam" (which, lol)

It is subjective, but almost everything you can compare cars to is less dangerous.

Relative to trains, buses, and airplanes, cars are super dangerous.

Relative to motorcycles, they're safe.
> all locking does is prevent the owner from switching carriers at the end of a term or legally reselling the phone after it's paid off and they get a new one...

All US mobile networks unblock phones once the contract term ends. Although, it should happen automatically rather than the phone owner having to request it.

It's not that juicy of a target, really. These people are like ghosts since they're involved in law enforcement, and know all the ways people can be doxxed and then harassed based on basic intel. It's like a hacker trying to hack other hackers, it rarely pays off in some meaningful way.

I have no idea why your first instinct is to regulate when twitter doesn't have a monopoly and there are several very similar alternatives that are growing in popularity

That's true, but what I was trying to say in my sentence is that the number of victims does not appear to be as high as I would have guessed.

Of course number of reported victims < number of victims, and more importantly any non-zero number is terrible.

Much later followup: FWIW, I blame a very popular misunderstanding of "free speech". Free speech means you can have your space to talk, and in that space you can say most whatever you want (subject to some legal restrictions like direct death threats and other issues), and anyone who wants to see what you have to say can come see.

It does not mean that anyone who says a thing online, like a blog post, newspaper article, government report, etc. is obligated to host a comment section that allows anyone with a keyboard to put their speech right next to the original topic, on nearly the same footing. I think the all-but-subconscious idea that comment sections are somehow mandatory, or the sine qua non of "free speech", seriously hobbles people as they try to design communities.

Weblogs empowered the individual, and then we could interactions from there. Comment-based designs pull everything down to the same level. Mastodon et al still go in the wrong direction, in my opinion.

SQLAlchemy creator here.

No single improvement in Python has made my life more dramatically easier than the introduction and standardization of strings as Unicode. The basic reason is because it clearly placed the burden of encoding / decoding on the *outside* edges of a program; right when data is coming in, or right when data is going out. If you want the world to consider the data between those to be a "a string", you have to do that for us.

For me, it meant that every PEP-249 DBAPI finally took on the role of handling database encodings fully and completely. Enormous reams of arbitrary string encode/decode logic in SQLAlchemy, having to guess its way around all the different decisions every DBAPI made about this, gone. If I get a string from the DBAPI, it's decoded. If I have a string, I can send it out, DBAPI handles it. If it contains characters that aren't appropriate for the database's encoding, it raises. Great! I send the users off to the manual for their database, they aren't complaining to me. Total lifesaver.

I see a lot of odd complaints here which seem to be people wanting non-textual bytestrings to do things that make sense for text; if someone has a use case like that, there can be libraries that do the particular non-textual-but-text-like manipulations they need, however, these are not the "standard" uses for textual strings in Python. The standard use for textual strings is...to represent text! If I have data that's bytes, then I use bytes! These threads always seem to fill up with the vanishingly small number of people that have issues with this. Just like the anti-ORM threads. All the while the vast majority of devs are just getting work done.
> This type of thing would not have happened in the US

That's because the real police would intervene, not because murderers are afraid of social media moderators.

That said, I do believe that if Ethiopian law enforcement can't (won't?) handle their murderous mobs, they should censor their social media until they can figure out what is going on. And foreign social media companies should cooperate with them.

But the initiative has to come from Ethiopia.

Gluon: Electron-like framework but using system browsers with a new approach
Instead of bundling Chromium like Electron, or using webview libraries like Tauri/etc, Gluon uses normal system installed browsers like Chrome, Firefox, etc. (supporting most Chromium and Firefox based browsers). Uses NodeJS as the backend as well. Currently experimental/very WIP/alpha/etc (~1 week old!). Looking for opinions/feedback/etc on the concept whilst it's early on (but works), to help shape it towards what developers (and/or users) are looking for.

Whilst yes this is still webapps as desktop apps (not meant to solve this), it is a new approach which improves developer and user experience with more developer and user choice, and smaller apps.

Happy to answer any questions or constructive criticism in comments, thanks!
Lane assist isn't supposed to entirely keep you in the lane on it's own, it's supposed to just help tug you in the right direction as a hint in case you weren't paying perfect attention. It's usually not supposed to steer the car entirely on its own.
Thanks for your anwser. I see a lot of bad things on Tesla FSD and I totally get the critics.

Yet, I follow DirtyTesla's YouTube channel and I think FSD is quite impressive compared to any other self driving software I've seen.

Would you mind to direct me to similar videos from Waymo for example in similar situations? I can't find anything even remotely as good as what Tesla is doing now.

I'm not a fanboy nor do I possess any TSLA actions (or even a car for that matter), I'm just interested in the field and until now I thought Tesla was the most promising tech (it seems I'm wrong, but I really like to see it!).

"Harming corporate profits" seems like a weird spin, considering locked phones are typically on long-term contracts that subsidize the purchase price. If you buy a lease-to-own car, then stop making payments and go to a different auto dealership is that just "economic efficiency?"
Having just had to get around quite a bit via walking and scootering, I’m definitely not excited about a future totally without personal cars. This works very well if you’re childless or if you live in a place like Manhattan (loved the subway there) or with excellent weather, but it’s just not the same as the personal room and safe area with your personal belongings that a personally owned car provides.

The article does say he made 25 million through this. That must be the reason he got such a severe sentence. That seems like too much time, because murder charges can get much less time. Breaking in to the us capital and hitting police officers bear spray, bricks, office equipment gets some people much less than a year.

I'm not sure what I think a proper sentence is. It's like copying a dvd, software is free over the internet to do it and it's illegal; it's been illegal for decades to use that software, but there were only a very few random cases of prosecution. Who did the criminal steal money from in this case? I should own my hardware and I can run whatever I want on it. It's illegal in some cases because there's a series of laws leading to you can't modify your tractor software if you have a john deere, which in itself is a bad idea.
doesnt that require extra due diligence upon the gatekeepers' part?
I know this probably won't be a popular opinion, but I have to disagree with this. I use Firefox on all my "general purpose" computing devices, but I only use Firefox on Android for recalling the passwords I have saved on my Firefox/Mozilla account.

For any day-to-day browsing, I use Brave with the cryptocurrency bits turned off. I used the "Fennec" version of Firefox for Android for years, since my first smartphone in college, but by the time the GeckoView-based rewrite was released, I just got tired of the poor performance and reduced battery life compared to Chromium. Only one anecdote, but Firefox felt more jittery and made my phone much hotter than Chromium did.

After the UI overhaul, where (IMO) they tried to copy a Chromium-style interface, I ran out of any non-ideological reasons to use it over Chromium-with-an-ad-blocker-built-in.

It becomes a problem if you do not apply the letter of the law universally.

If you turn a blind eye to the behaviour of someone you agree with, even if they're doing something that is against the rules (or the spirit of the rules) but you come down hard on someone else for actions that are the same (or lesser); then it's a problem for me.
Just to piggy back on the 40mph callout, but I would like to see self driving cars never really drive more than 5mph under the speed limit. It would have a great calming effect on traffic. If they combine that with very conservative acceleration, it would be even better, much less of that rushing and accordion effect that's causing so many crashes.

Instead, Tesla fsd, at least from the youtube videos, looks like it's driving like a BMW-driver. Way way way too aggressive.

The biggest contributors to car crashes is speed and not enough distance from car in front. If self-driving cars would exaggerate the basic premises of safe driving, low speed, low acceleration, long distance, ... it would be really good for traffic overall imho.

Speaking of irrelevant to the discussion, this sentence fragment wins first prize for most irrelevant.

False. I am comparing the type of speech that is "far beyond the law" that Elon Musk is now allowing versus the type of speech that he is not.
“We” do not think about it like that because it has been many, many years since the US regulatory agency has required US mobile networks to unlock phones after the contract ends:

https://www.fcc.gov/general/cell-phone-unlocking

Unlocked phones have long been available for purchase, and no one is forcing anyone to choose to accept a mobile network subsidy in exchange for the lock.
Has Musk ever said that he supports doxxing individuals?

Court cases or unredacted mass data dumps are far different than data dumps targeting very specific individuals -- usually with the intent of enabling direct harm.
I found the blog post slightly confusing because it never explicitly spells out that endorsing a new node is a manual operation that the administrator has to perform from one of the trusted nodes. Of course this is what you'd want, anything automatic would ruin the purpose of tailnet lock. But still not seeing it mentioned, neither in the text nor in the pictures, made me wonder what I had missed, until I watched the video which features that very step as part of the demo.
Keeping in mind increasing rates isn't the only way the fed can tighten the screw. I am always surprised how little attention is given in non financial newspapers to the movements in the fed balance sheet [1]. Even if rates remain stable, if the Fed keeps draining QE, it will apply a strong downward pressure on markets.

> You don't get to "hundreds of thousands" of devices unlocked by helping out individual customers.

I don't doubt that there were stolen devices involved, but it's actually really easy for me to imagine finding a few hundred thousand customers who would pay for an "official" unblock so they can switch carriers.

Some numbers:

1. >50% of customers are willing to change their carrier

2. T-Mobile has 100M customers

Conservatively, this gives a TAM of at least millions, maybe 10s of millions, of customers per year. And he had, let's say, 500K, probably less, total customers over the years. So he was getting, what, 1% of non-phone-thief customers per year? Less? Easy to imagine getting there without working with phone theft rings.

I think for the proscribed use case the situation where you require human intervention is where the traffic jam clears up and it’s time to drive at highway speed again. Not an emergency.
