Really hard to imagine a sane and rational policy maker naming encryption as something that compromises safety. If anything, it facilitates it. But then again, this isn’t about policy, it’s about control and surveillance.

> The government said its proposal was not "a ban on end-to-end encryption".

> Critics say companies could be required by Ofcom to scan messages on encrypted apps for child sexual abuse material or terrorism content under the new law.

So, what's going on here? Is it going to be E2EE between user and user and then also a copy E2EE between user and the government? What a time to be alive.

Or is the law going to require them to scan encrypted messages for child abuse and terrorism content? Unless they are required to hand over the keys then... how is that going to work?

I've recently fixed this problem for myself by making an upcoming project timeline. I don't always stick to it, but giving myself the space to do this THEN that allows my brain to pick one thing first.

One of the rules for my "soon" list is that I try to choose projects/tasks that take 1-4 days. This forces me to make decisions in a context where I see my short-term and long-term projects all in one place.

You may also need to think about what matters to you. What is your end goal? What impact do you want to make on the world? What is the minimum amount of money you need to be happy? Ask some hard questions and work backwards from there.

If thinking about what you want is too hard, consider making an "unbucket list" (credit to Warren Buffet):

1. write down 25 goals

2. circle the top 5 items

3. the remaining 20 goals are your “avoid-at-all-costs list”

It will probably end up like C. P. Snow's The Two Cultures and for many never the twain shall meet. This shouldn't be surprising really given the diversity of people, views, etc.

As for myself, I use both regularly but for serious work the PC/large screen predominates.

In recent years I've often found myself working on the PC with a collection of phones about me all with different but related information on them. It's akin to having multiple textbooks open on one's desk for reference. It's also a handy way of not cluttering up my PC screens with multiple windows/tabs open.

Even worse, $19T added to the debt is an extreme lowball by some expectations. Many estimates put the US national debt closer to $90T by the end of the decade.

The country is right on the edge of walking into one of the most expensive wars in its history as well as a few delayed economic disasters that would kick the money printer into much higher gear.

Trump adding $10T+ in a relatovely uneventful 4 years even before the massive inflation spike hit should give you an idea how quickly diminishing returns on QE can escalate spending.

No Regulation in the UK for Aesethetic, son-surgical cosmetic Treatments
Non-surgical cosmetic procedures like dermal fillers and Botox are still not properly regulated. The UK Government promised to introduce a licensing scheme for aesthetic practitioners in 2022 but its 2023 and aesethteic practioners continue to be completely unregulated.

Before opting for any kind of non surgical cosmetic treatment it is important to do your research on who will be performing it – plastic surgeons have more extensive training than other non-medical aesthetics practitioners. Even those treatments which don’t involve major surgery should still always be done by someone with plenty experience - so you can look your best without having to worry about long term complications!

In addition to what commenter suggested I also suggest reading and trying out things on following books, I listen to the first one, it is really good, you can implement life style changes in that book.

I am hoping to read the second one, as I heard 2nd book need you be on meds, when working through the book, but I do not think you need to be on meds any longer than you change your thinking, since it is CBT book it will possibly help you to adapt your thoughts necessary. For meds I suggest you to try out lowest dosage of pro-drug(non abusable) like Vyvanse instead other stimulants, it is also long lasting, have ease in and ease out effect unlike other stimulants as I heard.

3rd book also will fit your needs, since it is also a CBT book.

All those three books are recommended by Dr. Barkley, first one authored by him.

Ask HN: Is the Rings of Power worth watching?
I remember the production budget of the Amazon Lord of the Rings series being a hot topic here on HN before the show was released.

The user ratings on Amazon's own websites sit at ~3.3/5 depending on what country you're in.

Now that series has been released, curious what peoples' follow up thoughts are on the production and the business context for Amazon, given Amazon's market cap is half what it was last year.
I will say it again, something has got to give. You can't have humane treatment of child rapists and fear government overreach.

It is in fact possible to backdoor communication systems for lawful intercept access. It is possible to also design public auditing of such systems so that a warrant or lawful order being used to intercept communications can be logged and audited by the public. Warrants are not forever secret, with that stipulation a check against abuse of lawful intercept can be incorporated into non-E2E encrypted protocols.

However, what I have learned is that it isn't just privacy or government overreach technophiles like many on HN seem to use as a reason but also a desire to undermine legitimate lawful intercept in foreign countries.

"What if the Chinese government intercepts dissident communication" they're the legit authority there, it will be publicly audited still but they have every right to do so and you have no say in what a foreign government does in their own jurisdiction.

The internet itself should be eradicated if we can't do everything at all costs to prevent harm against the weakest.
> I already know of two companies in different countries which have the very same name as I occasionally receive emails written to them on my catch-all email address

If they ever decide to do business in your country, expect them to want their name. They will probably take you and your registrar to court, but in the end, they will have to pay you for the name.

Domains don't cost a lot, but I would just take what they offer you, don't try to fleece them because you got there first.

I would look at another domain name as a fallback should any of this happen, but just keep in mind that it's a possibility.
Even if you think you'll win a case, there's still the distraction and economic cost of being dragged into a lawsuit. Fear of libel suits probably does make the gutter press slightly less trashy, but it also has a chilling effect on dependable sources, and they are regularly employed by malicious actors for precisely that reason. But anyway, if you don't like that particular example, make up another where you feel society is currently too risk averse.
> Same as Apple/Google aren't guilty of creating malware apps then it slips through, but the predatory ass who coded the app and published it is.

People certainly can point the finger, for them to share some accountability, because Apple/Google are debatably suppressing competition. If people must use their store or search engine, then become victims of fraud, they are going to question how such got through their filtering systems and why can't they have other alternatives. It's one thing, if on an open system, the user chose a shady app on some odd corner of the web and it's another if the app is put in front of their face.
Not to mention that bad actors pretty much force the hand of the good ones to be more aggressive or use the same methods, or else they suffer with less sales.

There are no downsides to killing the bad actors here.

Especially as most projects are ‘join the waiting list’ when you go there, which I assume means ‘waiting for the chatgpt api to become available’ or ‘self hosted cheap alternative that I don’t have to charge for tokens’ or, and this is probably actually the reason for most, ‘we have nothing, but figma works’.

To be clear, this is a really serious situation.

The current Online Safety Bill wording from https://bills.parliament.uk/publications/49376/documents/282... (https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3137) is as follows: clause 124(3) declares that OFCOM (the telco industry regulator) can impose "proactive technology" to comply with or remediate illegal content, child safety or fraudulent advertising(!):

(3) A proactive technology requirement may be imposed in a confirmation decision only for the purpose of complying with, or remedying the failure to comply with, any of the duties set out in—
(a) section 9(2) or (3) (illegal content),
(b) section 11(2) or (3) (children’s online safety),
(c) section 23(2) or (3) (illegal content),
(d) section 25(2) or (3) (children’s online safety), or
(e) section 33(1) or 34(1) (fraudulent advertising).

and clause 202(1)(a) then defines "Proactive technology" to mean:

202 “Proactive technology”
(1) In this Act “proactive technology” means—
(a) content moderation technology,
(b) user profiling technology, or
(c) behaviour identification technology,

In other words, the Bill gives the industry regulator the ability to impose a requirement that communication apps implement content moderation technology - which for an end-to-end encrypted system, obviously means the ability to scan and exfiltrate encrypted content to moderators (as how else can you moderate content). As a result, anything that whatever scanning technology deems illegal would have to end up in an unencrypted moderation queue (presumably provided by the app vendor?!), thus completely violating the encryption privacy guarantees. For instance, folks in Ukraine using Signal/Element/etc to discuss being bombed might end up with their messages exfiltrated by the scanning software to a moderation queue because they include the word 'bomb', which is then a sitting target which bad actors would use to gather intelligence and entirely sidestep encryption.

The penalty for not complying is still being determined, but could mean jail time for those building the apps: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/01/16/rishi-sunak-...

This is LITERALLY the online equivalent of putting a CCTV camera in everyone's bedroom, hooking it up to an machine learning classifier to detect 'illegal activity', and then sending unencrypted recordings to a moderation queue run by the CCTV vendor.

It's terrifying, and we have to stop it, before it sets a precedent that the EU follows with ChatControl, or that the US follows (or uses it as an excuse to remove E2EE entirely).

The way to stop it is to yell about it loud on social media, talk go the press, and if you're in the UK, write to your MP (they do actually read these letters).

Signal & others, if you're reading this: we need to coordinate on an open letter to UK Parliament (probably the House of Lords Committee) to present a united front against this; please ping me at matthew[at]matrix.org to sync.

The OSB is alarmingly advanced through the legislative process, and we are running out of time to stop it.

The simple act of tracking things - even with no intent to change - typically makes me eat far less, or do the activity far more. Anecdotes with friends makes me believe this is quite common.

There is literally no way to take in more calories than you expend and not gain weight - short of hyper-specific and exceedingly rare medical conditions you'd be quite aware of.

Some people find this easier or harder than others due to a whole host of factors. Physics is physics though, and there is no way to run a calorie deficit and not lose weight. It's why this drug class is so interesting/popular - it lowers the bar for many people, making the effort of taking in less calories than they expend much easier to achieve.

I love these analogies to retail markets, but one major difference keeps digital goods from behaving the same way: spoiled food is easy to identify by customers and changes their behavior, incentivizing the quality controls we have today.

Spoiled advertisements/news programs/blog spam are not easy to identify by _todays_ customers, and thus do not incentivize quality controls. I think the solution to todays attention problem is to meet the problem on the same battlefield; attention!

I have a wildcard email on my domain. In fact multiple domains. Multiple of these have emails listed in bug trackers, git repos and in plaintext on my website.

The only filter I have is a couple of regular expressions to block the most lazy of spam at submission time. Even without that I got less than 50 spam mails a day, usually quite a bit less - and almost all of those are automatically sorted into my spam folder. How long does it take you to glance over a low two digit number of emails each day? Not a lot for me.

I think the "spam" problem is overrated. Do you get more spam than me or do you just have different expectations?
