The most protected class of data is medical data ... which in most European countries is only in public hands. And this data is being sent to insurance companies, mostly because they're also public or semi-public (and exceptions were made for this).

Every government gets to appoint a board that makes exceptions to the GPDR for them. So this is "OK", if that's what you mean by "taking it really seriously".

The main reason for the GPDR was to ensure this wouldn't happen.

Likewise ever more data is being shared. For example, psychological diagnoses are now used in divorce proceedings (determining child care, alimony, ...). How did this happen? Well first, police and social services have demanded, everywhere, that medical data be shared with them (mostly for the purpose of finding people for debt recovery by arresting them when they go for medical treatment. One can only hope they do have the decency to arrest them AFTER actually getting said medical treatment) ... Then social services is present at all divorce proceedings now (which also was supposed to help, but the main problem was waiting times, scheduling, reaction time, and of course this is also making that problem, the main problem, worse)

If this is what you mean by governments taking the GPDR seriously, sure, they're making sure they're going through motions. Does the GPDR actually protect individuals from "powerful interests", as was promised?

No.

No it doesn't.

I would declare the GPDR a total failure. It most certainly did not have the intended effect, and it is a constant cost and nuisance to everyone. Ironically it is a cost and nuisance BOTH for companies attempting to exploit user data AND the users themselves.
I guess, now is the ideal time for me to experiment with LXD or Docker images that are based on Alpine Linux or Debian Slim for QUIC support for Nginx.
Network of pretty properties in nature managed by community of remote workers
Today, we are launching Cabin’s network city - a set of globally-distributed properties designed for remote workers and creators who love nature.

Cabin has neighborhoods and outposts all around the world, including in Portugal, France, Slovenia, Costa Rica, Bali, and a dozen spots across the USA.

Each neighborhood shares three characteristics:

1. Access to beautiful nature: Breathtaking scenery available outside the front door
2. Fast internet: Reliable, high-speed WiFi to make it easy to connect and do work.
3. Strong community: Good vibes for thoughtful people to live together smoothly.

Cabin's vision is to enable Citizens to live surrounded by other kind, thoughtful, creative, open-minded, playful, generous people. By offering powerful digital products and a continuous a la carte menu of coliving and work-stay exchanges across a network of neighborhoods, we can re-write the rules for how we coordinate and live with each other.

My Parents gave me no privacy when I was a teenager. Guess what I learned? I learned that it was easier to lie and hide who I was than to be honest. I got better at lying and deceiving because it was a necessity. It was easy to get around their rules eventually; after all, I was a child with unlimited time and desperation to live my way. None of the children in my family talk to my parents anymore and most left home before 18.

I believe this but the ship has sailed.

Taxation was the compromise, and it was not taken up in a serious way. Regulation is the next step. Now the onus is on other parts of the economy to realize that they need to handle externalities or they will be regulated too.

I'm seeing a lot of this (failing to realize one is in a position where compromise is necessary); the idea that we have 50 years to spar affably over this is now going to come to an end.

This a problem across the political spectrum.
teens won't just 'want' privacy, they will get it, one way or another. and if it means excluding other people (like parents) from their communication loops, then so be it. thinking that 'you can let them know that you read their little messages, and that takes care of some things', or 'sure, they may want privacy, but what will they really do?'(literally anything incl. getting a burner phone lol), is just unrealistic. it creates more problems than it solves - well, if ending up with teens who won't talk to you about their actual private matters (and problems) and just keep that to themselves while putting up appearances, is even a problem for you. like, sure, they won't ever talk about their problems with you - but in a way, that means they have no problems (as it appears to you). so "problem solved".

the realistic expectation, is that they will talk about some things and do some things, and you will not be part of those things (just by the nature of things, and whichever way it is, whether you're trying to surveil their chats or not, or just letting people have their own privacy), and all you can do is just hope that when something happens, they will be more inclined to talk to you and ask you for help, than not. setting it up in a way like 'i'm scanning your communications - and if something happens, it's gonna become a thing to deal with' - is not gonna help with that. it's setting up for it to be like 'i'm gonna try to avoid having anything out that could be seen by parents and become a thing'. not even 'avoiding getting into trouble' - but just 'avoiding writing about that trouble, or talking about that trouble with you'.

these are great tips! i recently bought some of the buckets (pp), and I've been freezing all my grains and legumes upon purchase for a long time for exactly that reason

i'd be nervous about putting dry ice in a hermetically sealed container like a bucket

a thing i've noticed with storing food in plastic (pet) coke bottles is that they never seem to get beetles and that they tend to collapse a bit over the first year or so; i suspect that, even without a fe/nacl oxygen absorber, the food oxidizes enough to consume the oxygen initially present, which reduces the gas volume about 20 percent and kills any beetles initially present

a lot of my flour is in 6-liter pet water bottles with pp caps; none of it has evident beetles but i did freeze it first

Maybe stop trying to psychologically manipulate people and they'll at least be receptive to hearing your message and then make their own decision. That booster uptake is extremely low despite the continued government insistence that everyone must keep getting them is a pretty strong signal that no one trusts or cares about the government messaging anymore. More of the same manipulation is likely to make people tune out the government even more, on this and other subjects.
Ask HN: Is cross platform app development a thing?
Many apps are only available on Android or iOS. I'm wondering if it makes sense to do a side project cross-platform when companies are already saving resources to only develop for one platform.
When starting a new side project, would you concentrate on one platform or try to design with cross platform development in your mind.
What language would you choose?
Ran it by our Legal Department. The inability to customize all aspects of the contracts to handle specific needs for each contract renders this DOA.

What you see as unnecessary negotiation over "standard terms" they see as protecting the company's specific interests based on its needs and risk tolerances. By eliminating that, you've eliminated most of the potential market, since differences over "standard terms" usually reflect significant differences in each parties' specific legal needs and risk tolerances. It seems that you're targeting SV tech companies that all use the same group of VCs, which explains why they have a lot of standard terms they can all agree on. But once you expand outside of this narrow niche (and especially if your contracts involve foreign counterparties), this list of common standard terms selected by a third party that both counterparties can agree on without review or negotiation goes to zero. Even just a cursory review of the Professional Services Agreement raised several huge red flags that no competent Legal Department should agree to...

Also, any company that needs standardized contracting so they can automate processes based on that is large enough that they can simply demand their counterparties use their standard contracts...you're not getting Oracle and Apple or large companies to use these contracts (and especially not non-tech companies), and that means any customers who are dealing with such counterparties will need a separate process for handling those contracts, which makes contract management more complex, not less.
Fuck off, dickhead.

UPX only means smaller files on the disk, but it comes with a cost: it tends to increase memory requirements, because the binary on the disk cannot be mapped to memory anymore. Unless it's uncompressed somewhere in the filesystem.

Worse, if you run multiple instances of the same binary, none of them can be shared.

A bit simplified, without UPX, 100 processes of 100 MB binaries requires only 100 MB RAM for the code, but with UPX 10 GB.

Edit: In reality, likely only a fraction of that 100 MB needs actually to be mapped into memory, so without UPX true memory consumption is even less than 100 MB.

I'd maybe put the doubling of rent every decade up there at the top as the thing that causes the most mental health harm. I'm in my late 30s and remember moving to NYC in 2007, when seeing two bedroom apartments in Brooklyn for $1200/month seemed expensive but doable. Now I hear of young people paying that for a room in a shared apartment, or end up moving back in with their parents. Add to that other costs of existing plus their student loans and it's got to make young people feel on the edge all the time.

Not to say that social media isn't bad for mental health, it certainly is. But I've been out in NYC and seen swarms of young people at bars and clubs, it's not like they're not socializing with each other.
This is interesting viewpoint and thanks for taking the time and sharing... what would you suggest someone do with some extra money? Maybe I can build and run a model on that idea as I always look for new investment ideas...
Congrats to the Open Robotics team and everyone who contributed to this release!

Calling out a couple changes I'm excited about that we (Foxglove) helped contribute to:

- MCAP is now the default logging format in Rosbag2[0]. This is a much more performant and configurable format than the previous default (SQLite-based). SQLite is still a fully supported alternative.

- Message type definitions (schemas) can now be exchanged at runtime[1]. This means that tools such as rosbag2, or visualization tools such as Foxglove Studio[2] can now communicate with a ROS system over the network without needing a copy of the source code or complete ROS workspace.

I think yes. Amplitudes aren't observable, but I don't think they are epistemic.
It is true that an unverified TLS session does prevent passive attacks it does not prevent against "active" attacks. The general consensus is that it's not a useful property to differentiate passive from active here, since every passive attack can be upgraded to work as an active attack, on top of the fact that explaining the subtle differences to people is extremely difficult (and since they can be upgraded to active attacks, not worth it).

That’s me. I used to upload signatures to PyPI only because it’s a thing that exists and it’s not much trouble. I’d be counted among the valid 36%, but I doubt anyone ever verified even one of the hundreds of sigs I uploaded over the years. I eventually stopped due to the pointlessness.

Now that drugs and cigarettes are passe, social media is the latest thing to be hyped by sociologists, health experts, and the media as a crisis. Same for vaping.

These people want to take away our fun.

You're not wrong, but there are VPN services that add on privacy to their wireguard offerings, such as PIA (private internet access). They open sourced the connection code so you can see how they do it[1] using an API that initializes a temporary wireguard connection for you. I've been really pleased with PIA's wireguard setup, which even includes forwarding of an incoming port!

I've tried to make podman work so many times but one of my biggest issues is the lack of great documentation and support from third parties (that's okay!). I just have a hard time finding good examples well explained to gain anything out of it.

I saw someone playing that way, they could ONLY bulldoze "city services" like roads (so they could replace a road with one with more lanes that fit in the same space, or one with bike/tram lanes) but they could NOT bulldoze zoned properties, and tried their best not to remove even things like police stations, etc.

I think they had a rule saying they could rezone or bulldoze a building that was abandoned; but that of course led to accusations of intentionally forcing buildings to be abandoned (which is a real thing that happens).
