Uh, no, private property is subjogated to national interest. Personal freedom is subjogated to national interest (you may be conscripted). In all countries. The only way for things not to fall into a terrible state of affairs (like in Russia or Iran) is for the civil society to perform political acts, like engage in honest journalism, activism and critical thinking. And even then freedom and security are not guaranteed.

Thinking that you can be a free-from-all libertarian is like being a house cat that does not comprehend the system that keeps him alive. It is only because the system works that you can enjoy personal freedoms.

Russians have fully outsourced their both internal politics (resulting in for example the absolutely atrocious state of the courts of law) and foreign politics (mobilization! yay, go die in a trench!) to the tzar and look how that turned out. They also paid taxes and generally speaking accepted the offered social contract, but didn't monitor the situation and react to transgressions.

> As for false rape accusations… I think this is one of those things that gets talked about so much that it seems more common than it is

Yes, I fully agree. The fraternities have a ton more true rape cases than they have false allegations. Which might also be a reason the the crackdown on fraternity culture.
The hardware is now locked down to the point that this isn't really possible anymore. Future generations will never get to have those kind of experiences like we did.
Huh. I didn't know that.

My particular laptop does have a "pro" CPU. However, I would be surprised to no end to learn that it supports ECC. This particular model sports an MBP-level price tag [0], but is absurdly cheaply built. Even for "customer facing components", that are easy to compare, such as the screen (terrible colors) and case (creaks if you look at it wrong). HP doesn't offer ECC RAM, not even as an upgrade, so I really don't think the additional lines are physically present.

---

[0] I don't remember the specific number, but it was within 100 € of a 14" M1 MBP with 32 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD. That's counting a RAM (8 -> 32) and SSD (256 -> 512) upgrade which were made with components bought separately (though they were rather high-end).

Are ravens ever happy with what they have? I legit don't know. What I do know is that the innovation of a permanently unsatisfied brain is an incredibly recent fork. So close we don't even separate it from modern humans. So close that you could reasonably argue if its actually biological evolution or if its the principle of natural selection applied on a sociological level instead.

The industrial revolution and the great windfall of wealth that came with it didn't make people happier (to the extent we can measure it). But there is one group that does seem to find happiness: the small pockets of civilization which took a different road, never bothering to switch from hunter-gatherer to farming.
Not to mention the only party from which FBI directors have ever been appointed. It is not a culturally liberal/progressive federal agency in the slightest.
> The distinction between the government "asking nicely" and "making demands" is not strong enough.

A democratic government is usually forbiden fron "asking nicely". So the difference is that one of those exists, the other doesn't.

An increasing number of data saas companies store your database/warehouse credentials so they can connect directly, Ie: Postgres/snowflake host, port, user, password, etc.

That information is long lived (unlike tokens which expire) and you need to use the real value (unlike the hash of a password). Are there resources/books which cover the (many) best practices to keep that information safe?

Things like: separate database/microservice, separate vpc?, encrypt the database, filter those fields from logs, etc etc etc.

Is a service like aws lambda actually more secure then using a paas (heroku/fly/render) vs ECS (where there might be slower turn around times to actually bump/patch CVEs than the aws lambda team would take?).
My complaint is chiefly about practical implementation. “I want to use nix as a package manager across systems” is far too difficult for a new user.

One document tells you to flakes, another tells you that it’s experimental and should be avoided.

One document tells you that you should use Darwin modules and home manager, and then completely omits the fact that the linked home manager scripts don’t work with Darwin by design leading to “why the fuck isn’t this file they tell me should be auto generated not being created”.

Because the official docs don’t seem to cover real world use cases, you end up relying on a labyrinth of out of date and conflicting user contributed tutorials and it is very frustrating.

Once you know what to do nix is simple enough, but learning what to do is outright painful; if you don’t believe me look to the other replies to my comment.
Hi fellow Canadian resident!

Yes, also from Canada it’s absolutely the worst. I came from the Netherlands, and it’s absolute world of difference. The telcos need to resolve this at a system level and get rid of these call centre software solutions. However, I’m sure Telus/Bell/Rodger are all get lots of money from all these calls so no incentive to stop them.

Can’t help but think that at some point people made the wrong decision along the way.

I certainly don't see how not using AI is dwelling in darkness. We can have a very nice and functional society without it.

You also say that you hope AI will drop the price of art to the basement where it belongs. What if AI drops the cost of generating a computer program to the basement where it belongs, and programmers will be paid minimum wage? Would you be so content then?

Frankly, the attitude on this board is dismaying, but that is expected because the people who are benefiting from AI with higher salaries are currently the programmers. It has nothing to do with logic or fairness, only selfishness.
This is such a non-issue. You build in flags in the clients that are server activated "needs-reencrypt". After login (local client) flag is read from server and logic begins. You notify the user their vault needs stronger encryption. They can choose to continue and enter password, skip for now or ignore for 1 month (or something more reasonable).

The point is you explain why you do this. Start the message with "We care about your encryption" and go from there to explain that they need you to upgrade because the don't know your master key, they need your help to do it.

Adding this kind of behavior should be their core business. Apparently it's not.

For 32-bit, interestingly Apple still maintains a very bare minimum (_not_ covering Mac GUI apps).

This has two customers today:

- on x86 Macs only: older iOS Simulators

- on x86 and arm64 Macs: x86_32 code segments (no syscall emu), for Wine to be able to run 32-bit x86 applications.

I think that the fragile base class problem might be what made Apple get rid of 32-bit x86 app compatibility at the end.

> A lot of hardware didn't get new drivers either, and macOS went and changed that around too

Yeah. KM drivers aren't exactly the most stable thing from release to release ever on macOS. And Apple has been steadily getting rid of those.

The player that actually cares the most about backwards compatibility on the desktop to an insane extent is Microsoft. 32-bit Windows editions (that are able to run 16-bit apps) are only gone in Windows 11. Apple still spends a lot of effort on it but not to the same extent at all.

I'm not going to touch bot farm, but the problem with labeling someone a troll and thus is that is subjective and not clearly defined. There's a level of intent behind being a troll vs being thought of as a troll.

Here, in the USA, we do have the right to freedoms of speech, press and association. These freedoms cannot be encroached on by the government without due process, and yes, that means it would need to go in front of a jury. It's on the government to prove that a law was broken before they can intervene with otherwise lawful speech. It's not up to a government bureaucrat to decide.

Just because you disagree with someone does not a troll make.

My problem with modern discourse is we've lost the ability to disagree with people without resorting to labeling and name calling. And that we think we need the government to protect us from things we may find distasteful or offensive. Because matters of taste are individual and subjective.

While I agree with the premise of your statement, remember that:
1) A court order is only required for a subpoena to request information that the service provider isn't already voluntarily providing. It has been common pratice for decades where telecoms and now social media works together with federal entities outside of a legal action. And this was not limited to trap/trace.
2) It's never so specific to be about protecting an individual candidate. It's about the foreign interference, and if that interference backs a specific candidate and attacks their rivals, then it will look like they're trying to protect the rivals. But at the end of the day it they have to trace it back to the foreign influence campaign if they're going to do anything with it. If Twitter jumps the gun and suspends or bans someone they're trying to work backwards from before having evidence its unfortunate but I blame that on Twitter not having stricter standards about such a partnership.

Yup. And when I joined in March of '86 I needed to help a customer with the crypto chip but there weren't any systems with them around, so I went over to Building 10 and we "built" a Sun 3/50 from parts inventory, including the chip, which I carried back over to my office in building 5. However, because it had never gone through the manman system (manufacturing tracking) the system didn't exist when Sun got around to doing inventory management internally!

I regret not taking the advice of a senior engineer there at the time (John L.) who said, "Well if it doesn't exist, you should take it home, no one will miss it." But no, I figured out how to make it "real" and got it put into the system so that it could get an inventory tag. (a special one it turned out, that identified it for "secured destruct." Aka things that were crushed and not scrapped)
Doubtful lazy imports would’ve helped at all… I joined a project where almost every import statement has side effects, some of which took multiple minutes to read things into memory etc.

It almost feels like Python needs a scripting and non-scripting mode, or some kind of warning logging “you did everything wrong”

Unhappiness? That must be a strange definition of happy you are using. All those people can go on to amuse themselves some other way. It's as silly as saying that people would be unhappy if no more Marvel movies were made. It's just a little diversion and people would go on to do something else.

I think it's very unlikely that true happiness is caused by the highly specific diversions we have created in society. I can put myself out there -- I have hobbies too. And if they stopped, I would miss them a little. But I certainly wouldn't go far as to say that would make me unhappy.
I love how the examples are always Alaskan winters but you see people idling their car to warm up everywhere and often in moderate temperatures.

As far as I understand the FBI knew that the Hunter Biden story was real but encouraged everybody else to believe that it was a Russian hoax. Doesn't this count as lying? It's not just lying, it's explicit disinformation with an electoral goal.

This went so far that major web platforms blocked all forms of disagreement and the public dismissed it as a conspiracy theory. It was highly effective.

I hate Trump's guts but it's important to acknowledge the enormous amount of effort that went into covering up the behavior of Biden's son.

It is true that governments have always had an influence on how we live our lives, whether through traditional media like newspapers and television, or more modern platforms like social media. This is not a new phenomenon, but rather something that has always existed in society. However, with the proliferation of the internet and social media, it has become easier for governments to monitor and regulate online content, and this has led to increased scrutiny and debate about the role of government in moderating online speech.

The United States has a distorted view of free speech, as some people believe that it should be absolute and without any limitations. However, it is important to recognize that the collective good and well-being of society should always be a priority, and that includes protecting against harmful or extremist ideas that could cause harm to others. While it is important to protect individuals' right to express themselves freely, it is also important to ensure that this freedom is not used to spread hateful or harmful messages. In short, the collective well-being of humanity should always be a top priority, and this includes moderating harmful or extremist content on the internet.

Administrator credentials are harder yes. Something like hashicorp vault can be made to fit any company (custom backend plugins). For most stuff it already has backend plugins available (ssh, any rdbms). The open source version I have seen can fit a large fintech startup no problem.
>I don’t see a problem with the FBI/CIA/etc having regular discussions with Twitter about potential threats, influence campaign

Agree with this; there really are threats out there, and the manipulation techniques they use are sophisticated.

The problem I have was that the system was developed in secret, didn't really seem to be guarded very carefully from misuse, and was administered by highly politicized leadership at Twitter.
Ah, so the "mainstream media" "radio silence" here for an American politics story is in-fact complaining that on a specific date, it wasn't front-page news in ... the UK?
Yes, my firm is investing loads into AI and other tech solutions to common legal problems. I first worked with eDiscovery software eight years ago. More recent trends including using machine learning to (partially) automate legal due diligence.

Liability is the issue, as you say. If the software you use fails to flag an obvious issue that you consequently fail to flag to your client, you are in trouble, and the software provider won't be indemnifying you for it.
Oh, I feel like it’s quite the opposite! As a teenager I created a crappy non-English website about a topic that interested me, added it to a few local search engines (which worked more like directories) and it got tons of traffic, engagements with the guest book etc. Today, if you just create a website and have it crawled by the search engines, it will get no traffic at all.
When you are talking about adversarial state actors the incentives are completely different, the rules should reflect this.
Yes, I would want them software rootable by law. It's my phone, if I'm prepared to lose warranty, it should be my decision to change files internally.
Except no one’s really doing that, they’re just generating outrage bait to prop up a retarded billionaire’s obviously nonsense claim that Twitter, a huge company, is (or was) secretly staffed exclusively by the far left. All evidence that has come out has shown not that, so they’re trying to come up with something else to be outraged about. FBI asking Twitter to stop criminals seems entirely unsurprisingly.

For 1, this is doubtful as a historical source from a non-Christian perspective. The Gospels accounts are surprisingly consistent, except for specific portions that all conveniently bolster support for the idea that Christ is the Jewish messiah. The story about his birth is Bethlehem is a prime example (it’s more likely Jesus was born in Nazareth). I would question the ability to pinpoint a birth year through likely made up details.
>Racism is not a synonym for discrimination in general, it does specifically refer to the construction of "whiteness" in a largely western context.

The fact that some academics in recent decades have claimed this for the explicit political purpose of justifying racism against white people don't make what you're saying factual or correct or an accurate description of how that language is typically used.

> If you don't see anything wrong with the government forcing censorship on controversial political questions

Nobody is saying that it wouldn’t be a problem. The debate is whether the Twitter Files shows anything of the sort, and begging the question like that calls into question whether you’re actually interested in a honest discussion.
But you also can't just dismiss things as gaslighting and use that as an excuse to claim something that isn't there, is, that is as bad as calling everything you disagree with fake news.
