You're on to something with automated license plate readers. They exist, as do apps that take pictures and videos and aggregate the license plate numbers.

Credit card transactions also aren't protected from marketing tracking activities, neither are Twitter or Facebook ads, neither is what my isp can discover from my dns requests, cell phone providers can sell my location metadata, and the credit bureaus are ordinary businesses with huge data leaks.

This is public information, police can operate on it without a warrant, and whether we're driving, flying a private jet, walking in a town square, or purchasing a coffee, or browse the internet - other private entities can too.

LifeLock and identity theft protection are sold to everybody, tax forms allow anybody to try to use someone else's number - the government refuses to do anything, and companies have minimum privacy + security requirements.

This is a false equivalence.

If an innocent person held some information in their literal pocket, that they could very simply reveal to the world, at no cost to themselves, which proved their innocence of some crime unambiguously - but refused to do so and instead chose to stand trial for some offence - it would be entirely rational to be suspect.

This is why in some cases 'pleading the 5th' can be considered as evidence towards guilt.

The government is more than aware of the vast conspiracies surrounding the incident, not only do they have a responsibility towards transparency in any event, it's even more important in this case.

There's a 100% chance they are hiding something - otherwise they wouldn't hide it.

So the question boils down to only what they are hiding: mundane administrative information? or 'The CIA did it!'? I suggest it's more towards the former than the later, but not all the way. I'm put it at 90% chance there were at least some shenanigans, but I don't think it was as bad as 'the CIA ordered his death' kind of thing. But there were shenanigans.

I was surprised to find out that the average glycemic index of honey is about 55, much lower than I had anticipated. Even so, I still find it counter intuitive that honey — majority sugar — can lower your fasting glucose.

Henry Kissinger is 99. Plenty of people from that era are still alive.

More importantly, if there's information on specific CIA informants in there, their networks and the people they recruited may well have survived them.

I wonder how many people know about Dorothy Kilgallan. Her story really makes one think. She was a famous investigative reporter who got involved, contemporaneously, in trying to understand what happened after JFK's assassination. She told people she had a big file on what she was discovering. Then she died from an "overdose" of alcohol and barbiturates.
> refused to share … (including refusing features he disliked)

That makes the maintainer of Gogs sound rather petty, which I don't think is true. It is their project, they don't have to give control to anyone else if they don't want to, or implement features that they don't want.

A number of projects are explicitly “open source, not open contribution” and this is perfectly OK. If it is a problem for other individuals or “the community” than there is always the fork option (as taken by Gitea and now Forgejo) or if that isn't practical maybe offering to pay the maintainer, so can afford to make time to bother more with needs/wants away from their own (though in the latter case, don't be offended if this is politely rebuffed also).

I am using old school php like this:

This is why I don't understand nuclear power advocates:

> Dealing with all the radioactive waste left on site is a slow-motion race against time, which will last so long that even the grandchildren of those working on site will not see its end. The process will cost at least £121bn.

Example:

> The expenditure rises because structures age, growing more rickety, more prone to mishap. In 2005, in an older reprocessing plant at Sellafield, 83,000 litres of radioactive acid – enough to fill a few hundred bathtubs – dripped out of a ruptured pipe. The plant had to be shut down for two years; the cleanup cost at least £300m.

Nuclear power is the posterchild for the flaws in public-private partnerships ("PPPs"). These simply shift profits to private industry and liabilities to governments. That's it. Don't believe me? Example [1]:

> The U.S. Price-Anderson Act limits the liability of nuclear plant owners if a radioactive release occurs to $450 million for individual plants and $13.5 billion across all plants.

So if Chernobyl happened to a US nuclear plant the operating company would be on the hook for at most $450 million. Think about that.

The article mentions the 1957 fire. This is lesser-known than Chernobyl (which is often dismissed as an outlier) and less severe but still a major disaster. It's known as the Windscale Fire [2].

The primary reason I see for encryption is because all of the disks are shared. Encrypting at rest is to make sure that the next user of the disk is not able to find any of your data. Even if the odds are low, you still don't want any private information leaking on accident. And you have to be able to guarantee it for things like HIPAA or PCI compliance.

I didn't mention the word "fucked" , that was the article, I was making a point about lack of clarity in Binance's financials :)

But yes, if a major financial company can't complete an independent audit to IFRS or similar standards, that's a major red flag. We know major crpyto exchanges can do it as Coinbase is audited by Deloitte's, so it's not that it's not possible.

and yes Tether falls into that category too.

Why not use / invest in Mattermost?
I had a pair of glasses that did not fog. The lenses were coated with a hydrophilic coating, which absorbed the tiny droplets of water that make up fog. Once it was saturated, water could form large droplets but not fog.

This is basically how licking your lenses or spitting on them works, or stuff like Cat Crap. The difference here is that the coating was baked on; it could not be rinsed off.

The downside was that the coating was very soft when wet and easy to damage. So it’s not really commercially viable. I bought a pair directly from the inventor, with trust between us that long-term performance was up to my discipline in protecting the lens coating.

They also had to be hand-washed regularly as contaminants in the river water would impair the anti-fog coating as well.

They worked great until I left them on top of my car and drove home one day…
> A would-be attacker using this data wouldn’t be able to get anywhere elonjet is destined for before elonjet.

If he flies random routes, that’s true, but I doubt he does. You could figure out where he flies regularly, move there, and prepare your ambush.

Having real-time data adds that you can tie it to your alarm clock, and better time your final preparations. You wouldn’t have to suspiciously camp out for hours at an airport, for example, getting tired and risking discovery.

Now, is that significant? Maybe, if he’s paranoid enough to put a lot of variation in his flight patterns, but I doubt it. Also, as you say, “Any sophisticated and determined actor who would be able to deploy such means could definitely get the location data with or without a Twitter bot.”
I remember when I couldn't fly across the country without running out of power due the terrible power usage of VSCode.

One such example was the cursor blinking causing hight cpu usage - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/22900 I'm assuming they've fixed it?

Electron in general continues to be a bloated memory hog and inefficient. I think the real interesting thing is how good it is despite the runtimes/frameworks they are using, not because of them. It's more an example of there's no such thing as the "right tool".
In what way does anti-trust apply? How is Twitter a monopoly?
Why India does poorly on global perception indices? [pdf]
Well unfortunately that’s a typical assumption developers make. “It’s an editor, Bob! The users ought to know how to read JSON!” Well thought-out UIs actually help the user find things and they don’t need to change all the time.

Unfortunately, even though we engineer with code, reading long streams of text is actually a terrible user experience by itself.

Good user experience should hold the user’s hand through the process so they don’t need to sift through a haystack of configurations.

VS Code has the power of emacs and an autogenerating UI which maps to the configuration files. To me, that’s the easy way out—make the UI map one-to-one with the data underneath, obviating the burden of considering the UX of each configuration path, and missing out on the benefits of good UX.
No, the "leaks" did not reveal that Twitter was moderating on the basis of political opinion. They revealed that right wingers have a larger amount, in absolute terms, of moderation actions leveed against them.

But it could be the case that the side that uses "groomer" as a casual insult, surrounds drag shows armed with AR15s, propagated revenge porn of a political opponent's son, and follows a former President who's openly demanding the suspension of the US Constitution is actually just engaged in more TOS-violating behavior.

It could also not be the case, too, for what it's worth. But we don't know which is true given what's been revealed by the "leaks."

What we do know, for absolute certain, is that Musk's moderation behavior is nowhere remotely close to the free speech/public town square utopia that he pitched to the world. And hey, no one said it needed to be! Well, no one but he.
1. Dodging the question with non-answers that conflate unlisted repos and better account privacy settings with the stuff that is known to be forbidden on Codeberg does no one any favors. It is no surprise that repos for non-free software and private repos for general use are not allowed. Where is the part that's relevant to what was asked?

2. Someone who was wondering whether I'd made a huge mistake by moving stuff there a year or two ago and whether I should know something about the folks behind it that would indicate that I should reverse that decision, not support it, and not recommend it (alternatively: advise against) in the future.
A company being registered somewhere is no more than a PO Box and some paperwork.

My guess about why Binance avoids having a headquarters location would be trying to reduce the risk of regulators and tax authorities paying a lot more attention to them.
Try looking for fully remote asynchronous companies. Comes with a different set of challenges for someone with ADHD, but companies with a culture that is more focused on asynchronous communication tend to work better with the high/low levels of focus that come with ADHD. I think if you're regularly getting pinged by people beyond your direct team, it's a sign of mismanaged culture.
Hope we can get a merge of the threads.
I once integrated IFTTT with google sheets to automatically add a line to a spreadsheet when I entered and exited work. And then made some more pages in the sheet in order to have it all neat and orderly for timekeeping. A huge advantage was that I could correct small mistakes whenever I wanted, so it didn't matter much if the integration itself was a bit spotty.

I see what you mean, but if that is what it's "trying" to say, it's doing a poor job of making itself clear.
I also think you misinterpreted the response. At first glance I did as well, but now I see that it is more quoting what you said than stating what you said as fact.
I think this is a pretty significant misreading. The basic argument of Yishan's thread (external to the 'all tech companies want to do is tech, not politics' angle which is honestly kinda tangential) is that social media is hard because it's social, not because it's media. The part you're pointing to is meant to develop this because it's a fundamentally social effect which causes both sides of the aisle to feel marginalized by the institution - something I think we can agree is pretty empirically true. All that's needed for the (increasingly accurate) predictions of Musk's difficulties piloting the ship to stick is the intractability of _calm social discourse_ in what Yishan is calling the new 'culture'. I don't think Twitter having a political bias is relevant there.
It is hard to know what you enjoy. I am 38 and I work a part time job and run a business from home. Is it exactly what I want to do? Absolutely not, but does it pay the bills, yes. Does it let me be home with my family more, yes. I have a degree in economics and turned down so many awesome jobs from schoolmates who wanted me to work with/for them. I think they define me as unsuccessful because I don't make X dollars a year like they do. I make significantly less than I could make, but I enjoy my life a lot more than they do I think. I have less fancy things, but more enjoyable moments.

Life is mysterious, confusing and lovely all at the same time. Focusing on the impossible big picture of what you should be doing, and where you should be is a trap. Enjoy each unique day the best you can. Sure you don't know what you need to do to be successful tomorrow, but I am sure you can think of things you can do today to be successful; even if its just helping a neighbor or a parent. Define success for each day based on its circumstances. When you fail, write down why and move onward.

Every little success adds up to a new mindset.

Good luck.
> If we decide that doxxing is acceptable and posting anybody’s real-time location data is acceptable (without their consent), then he is abusing powers. If that is your conclusion, then you don’t have the right to complain should it happen to you.

This really does not follow. We already have plenty of exceptions for what is appropriate when reporting on public versus private figures in other aspects of life. As Musk himself has demonstrated, "absolutism" of any sort is a difficult view to hold when one's feet are put to the fire, and nuance is actually important.

Even if you think that reporting on Elon's plane (or in the case here, the "reporting on the reporting" on Elon's plane) should be forbidden, I would suggest that this development is still difficult to defend. This is a reversal in policy that Elon made because it was about him personally.

Are you sure Elon will continue to agree with you on who/what to censor in the future?
Yeah, this was the approach I was imagining before someone mentioned Materialized View (proper).

Once I heard those words mentioned, I began to imagine what sort of interaction with a foreign data source's operations log FDW might have.

Of course, and depending on the foreign data source, you could probably even expose an operations log to Postgres via a FDW by defining it as a foreign table... Effectively opening up the possibility of eventually consistent replication. Lots of data stores' operations logs are accessible data collections/tables anyways.

All of this is exciting stuff!
The best linux evenings are the ones which happen and the StackExchange network is down for maintenance. Got burned once screwing up GNOME on my Ubuntu install, and what do you know, Ask Ubuntu wasn't available.
Perhaps you could provide some initial arguments why they should?
I think the point is rather: if they keep releasing stuff, it means they held stuff back the last time they released more stuff. It's natural to assume there is even more stuff still being held back.
So, how did you find this fix?
I'm not so sure. All the current employees of the CIA are absolved, simply because they were not even alive at that time. All the principles have been long dead. I think they could credibly claim "mistakes were made" and move on. It's a perfect opportunity to sort of wipe the slate clean.
