I have a dumbphone. Until recently I could not care less about losing it. But I realised that since it's not PIN protected (I could but don't want to do it), losing is a security issue. People can find my phone, match my phone number to my email address using leaked data, try these credentials on different services and wait until they get a reset password SMS.

So by forcing me to add my phone number some services actually decrease the security of my account.
Then Facebook/Meta would have challenged the rulings and pushed it through the courts. Probably would have been a bit faster, but still a long process.
To put it in perspective, "we" on HN are like hairdressers who all chose to charge for our services.

Perhaps there is no perfect alternative. Perhaps the cost of a perfect alternative is too high. And perhaps, perfect is the enemy of good.
Reddit going downhill is mostly because they are trying to become more like Meta. A competitor should be less meta, not more meta.

It's not a feature exclusive for Twitter to be sure but the fact that herd behavior on background of social animosity is much more important driver than cat pictures is pretty much established. There are number of studies on this account
At this point, being a "cloud" engineer essentially means that you're good at understanding and adapting to new services / value propositions, since they become available quite regularly. It doesn't mean, "really good at EC2, and incapable of learning more."
Sourcegraph has recently released Cody which is the more direct competitor to Copilot. And it's free for individual developers.

Why? Aren’t built-in password managers such as iCloud Keychain (which also auto-generates secure passwords) enough?
Which is the framework played by the GDPR and other European regulation. The DPA are meant to be independent from government in their decision.

On the other hand it's much cheaper for an employer to filter candidates early, instead of firing them later for inappropriate behaviour.
I installed the opensource version for fun at work, and synced about 750 repositories. I applied some patches to support OAuth2 proxy and removed the telemetry. It's great software, very fast and it works as intended.

While I appreciate the push for privacy and anti-tracking, ultimately the tools to prevent tracking are in the hands of users and organizations. The concept that countries have jurisdiction or even exist within the confines of the web is a laughably antiquated idea projecting itself into a realm where it doesn’t belong. Google and all of the usual suspects will continue to collect information about the public in all of the ways that they want, while the naive public believes in some false notion that their leaders are protecting them from the big bad wolf. If you don’t want to be tracked, the only person who can prevent that is you. Government agencies are the keystone cops or this is world. All they’re doing is a Chinese fire drill.
For example, a universal internet annotator/commenter tool. Dissenter has tried but it quickly got shut down.

Twitter has had a chronological feed for years
I've noticed this trend of changing the meaning of words in recent decades. How do we prevent corruption of meaning? I hear "language evolves over time!" quite a lot, as if it's a law of nature, but I've never heard anyone question the statement to determine whether it's true or why it would be true. "Diversity" is a good example but there are numerous ("racism", "bigotry", etc).

I suspect the reasons for change would be insufficient to sway a majority. I suspect this is why the reasons aren't examined.

Originally there was an idea that a group with completely homogenous thoughts and opinions would lack innovation and problem solving ability. Ironically, the meaning of "diversity" has been corrupted to the point that it now requires homogenous thoughts and opinions.
There used to be something like this, I think I saw it on HN a few years back: https://www.ddb.co.nz/work/rescam/#
>I live in rural Western Australia with almost zero phone coverage, and this is a huge problem. I'm terrified of all these services wanting my phone number, or bugging me to turn on phone 2FA, because the moment that happens, I lose access to that service.

Have you tried enabling Wi-Fi calling or switching to a carrier that supports it? At least for my carrier and iOS, you can send/receive SMS messages (yes, the green bubbles) through Wi-Fi.
Solely being able to view source code without other rights absolutely doesn’t make it open source. In general if something isn’t under an open source license it isn’t.

It's interesting. In media, Instagram is often portrayed as a device for young teens to feel insecure about themselves, leading to suicides and depressions, and the lack of any meaningful intervention by Meta/Instagram. Is that really a better public perception than privacy violations? Realistically looking at this, I doubt they'd get much of the Mastodon crowd, which is, grossly exaggerating, mostly tech and LGBTQ. So what remains is "normal" people who care about "normal" topics. I doubt these people care much about privacy (most of them are already on FB and Instagram).
That's some top tier dad joke.

Admittedly, I read the other comment as a whataboutism. This explanation seems to help.

I think one could argue that the business failure is likely to affect more people, therefore it’s a greater impact. Still, I ultimately agree with this stance (in the context of business survival, not personal); failure is an inherent risk of business.
Yes, but pattern matching and probability will solve for the vast majority of usecases. Heck, it already works quite well and offers value.

I don’t need 100% truth, because reading multiple docs myself and piecing things together has tons of potential pitfalls too.

(Not OP) The kind of regressions I'd think of would be things like:

- updating the URL state when someone clicks on a button

- proper back-button support in the browser that takes me back to the prior 'page'

- being able to navigate to any URL deep in your app and get a valid response (ideally rendered server-side so there's no client-side loading delay).

Things like these are hard, and the reason why it's common advice to use a framework and not hand roll. If you hand roll but don't support these things gracefully, you're making a case for not hand rolling.
What an I supposed to be seeing?
Not the parent but the problem is that Chrome (sub. Firefox and Safari, these are problems with pretty much all browsers) isn't a password manager, its a password autofiller.

The result is that what should be crucial things like "how do we ensure permanency of the passwords file" are treated as very second rank - profile corruption usually is met with "remove the entire profile", which also ditches the password database. Literally every other password manager has some sort of tool available that makes it very clear where your data is stored and emergency backup options.

Chrome also doesn't like it if the login form doesn't look like most other login forms (and because this is the internet, you're gonna at some point run into weird login forms). It also can behave really funny if the site combines the user registration form with the user login form (which a lot of webshops do) by putting the autofill information in the registration form instead of the login form.

Add to that a very subpar experience in manually filling the right fields and "why not Chrome" should have a very clear answer.
Meta Loses Appeal on How It Harvests Data in Germany
Assuming you or a company doesn’t redistribute it, copyleft doesn't matter.
You’re absolutely right on that last part.

Making phone numbers required for signing up was only nominally to improve security. Overall, it’s a net negative for privacy and security, and only benefits the service provider by allowing them to track you (they can buy data on that phone number and create a profile on you) + reducing the number of people calling/emailing them because the user is locked out of their account.
I use the extension BlockTube to filter out videos by channel and I think it works pretty well since I only need to right click on a video and can block the entire channel. That means you have to trust another extension.

That being said, it is an understatement to say I can't tolerate the internet without uBlock Origin. I get so much value out of this project I would donate 10-20% of my salary to the project if they allowed donations.
(OP) Agree. The original is ok though and its difficult to know which has the more appropriate take. I didn't see the NY article before posting and may not have checked it due to it often being paywall-restricted. I'd be fine with it being changed, though I'd regret the loss of the title...

Twitter may die but this will not replace it.
Sorry, had a bit of time left today. Its more like 7 dudes, and their whole proposition is underwhelming TBH. Mostly gratuite statements against the ruling order. Half their website is a rant against the 'capitalist' competition. And the whole Christmas tree of doing good is exposed. But nothing really sticks:

- Simple and easy: wait until the product matures

- Open source: but no foundational governance, like Apache for example.

- Promise never to sell to investors, but nothing is in place to actually prevent that from happening. Note this common practice via a social enterprise.

- 45 kg reduction of CO2 compared to Google per average website(!): clear violation of EU law (2006/114/EG) in my opinion.

- They suggest to proxy their service to circumvent consumers who actively block traffic to plausible. This is OK, because they are good.[0]

It's so very bad, I've assumed they nerfed it because of issues they were trying to avoid. Very alpha.

My employer had a program where you could put in a request and get a free yubikey. Turns out they basically only work with Chrome (no Firefox, no terminal-based auth), so none of my team actually ever uses theirs because it's not really more convenient.
I work at AWS Professional Services, people move around among AWS ProServe, Google/GCP, and Microsoft/Azure all of the time.

You can read the complaint here - http://lawyersforcivilrights.org/our-impact/education/federa...

PDF - http://lawyersforcivilrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/...

Their legal argument starts on p17 of the PDF and across pages 17 and 18 it cites Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and points to 34 CFR §100.3(b)(2) which states universities in receipt of federal student funds:

> may not, directly or through contractual or other arrangements, utilize criteria or methods of administration which have the effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination because of their race, color, or national origin, or have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing accomplishment of the objectives of the program as respect individuals of a particular race, color, or national origin [1]

The general rule across most jursidictions is you can have a test for employment, admissions etc. that leads to a disparate impact - e.g. a tough physical fitness test that it is harder for women to pass than men - but if that can't be justified as relevant to the job or serving a valid role for the organisation, that's a problem.

To use the fitness test example, it's highly likely that the Marines applying such a test to decide who gets to train for special forces could justify such a test, but rather less likely if you're a company deciding on who to hire to write software or adminster databases or whatever.

The argument made in the complaint is that the justifications for legacy admissions policies don't work, and without a satisfactory justification, it's a breach of Title VI.

I cant imagine using a ferret or any animal to clean the inside of a vacuum system, let alone a scientific apparatus. These systems need to be clean and free of debris that can trap gas and water vapor or decompose and release more contaminates. Imagine if that ferret pooped and/or urinated in the middle of that 300 foot vacuum pipe. You wont be able to evacuate that pipe as those little turds will outgas and never let you reach the ultra high vacuum level needed for such experiments. Perahaps they accounted for this and used a feeding schedule to determine optimal time to let her run the pipes? It's never mentioned and another scientist developed a pigging method which instantly obsoleted the ferret.

So, Reddit as a stand-alone app?
To back up what you're saying about CO2 levels – I used to work in a small office with about 40 other devs. In the winter when the windows were closed the room was basically sealed off. The only fresh air we'd get was when someone occasionally entered or left the room.

I was always sceptical of how useful CO2 monitors are, but I was barely functional in that office. A colleague of mine regularly worked in the corridor because he got such bad headaches while in the office. For me I just got drowsy and couldn't focus.

I've never tried to actively increase oxygen, but I do carry a CO2 monitor now and I think if you're going to be doing mentally demanding tasks in a confided space it's useful to think about.

Personally I wouldn't want to increase O2 concentrations beyond levels you'd generally find outdoors though... Perhaps if you occasionally want a short burst of focus it wouldn't be too harmful, but I'm guessing its effects will be a bit like caffeine in that if you consume it constantly your body will just adjust to a new baseline and you'll find it hard to cope without it.
I think Cody is based on OpenAI tech. They haven’t built their own model yet (as of 8 weeks ago)
>I have a dumbphone. Until recently I could not care less about losing it. But I realised that since it's not PIN protected (I could but don't want to do it), losing is a security issue.

This really isn't a dumb phone specific issue. Even for smartphones if someone stole it they could pop out the sim and if it isn't password protected (most aren't IME), they'll have full access to your phone number.
Completely different under the hood, not to be compared, but both have their uses.
Do you typically run your market research on Uber drivers? Maybe you ask the bathroom attendant for tips on Crypto to purchase?

There are physical limitations to construction. Sometimes things take time to set and/or cure. Even when doing the work, it’s not like you can have five guys working on a single pipe at the same time, hence the “breaks.”
I think it doesn’t require homogenous thoughts and opinions, that’s rather bad faith and obviously untrue on its face: you cannot have homogenous thoughts and opinions with a diverse background of people. However it does limit what kind of diversity is acceptable: an opinion that gay people should be given the death penalty might definitely be unique in the workplace but also I would argue not beneficial to a workplace setting.
Quite the opposite. Social networks die as soon as parents get on it. Kids don't want to be on the same platform as their parents. The cycle repeats.

Agreed.

It was the inbox that sold me on it. I had to occasionally manually kill background apps; I could feel the phone getting hot in my pocket sometimes, as something burned CPU and battery. It was a bit version-1-point-zero.

But, a good UI, most Android apps worked... but slowly, over time, Whatsapp dropped support, FB Messenger dropped support, and while the Android clients worked, they no longer integrated with the unified inbox, making it all a bit pointless.

For those who never saw it:

BB10 was QNX with a Qt-based GUI on top. It had a global inbox, part of the home screen, and all messages appeared in it. Work emails, personal emails, all chat systems, app notifications -- all in one place, sortable and searchable. It sounds like a lot to deal with but it wasn't; it was much easier than handling notifications and messages on iOS or Android, where they are spread over a dozen different apps.

Android "native" apps are actually Java apps in a customised Java runtime, a modified JVM. This has been completely replaced several times over the lifetime of Android.

BB10 had its own Android-compatible JVM, so Android apps ran on BB10, at peer level with native apps. The big snag was that there were no Google apps, and Android apps assume those are present. So, if an app displays a map, it assumes Google Maps and blindly calls it, and if that app is not there, the exception is unhandled and you get a blank area on screen where the map should be.

Sadly sideloading the Google Apps did not fix this. They worked but they were not where expected, or sandboxed, or something. Some, e.g. Google Translate, worked badly because it assumes an onscreen keyboard but the Blackberries didn't have one because they have permanent hardware keyboards.
It is not better, it is just accessible from a different location (your browser extension) vs Playwright's debugger. This falls more naturally into my development flow.

So instead of buying/renting movies directly on a digital service, you subscribe(d) to a cable service that costs probably $60-100/month, wait for the movie you want to be played on a schedule and be recorded to a DVR hard drive in your house, and then you watch the movie along with content and aspect ratio edits, reduced bitrate, and a channel watermark.

I can’t understand how you you tolerate or prefer this setup, whether it be now or in the past.
With a password manager you're putting all the eggs in the same basked. Why I'm I the only one who see this?

More analyticalally: the probability_of_an_account_getting_hacked times damage is constant. More unrelated accounts you have, hack more probable, less damage on a single hack. With one password manager account, everything you have is at stake.

There is no way around it. You can't manage this risk.

The "language evolves over time!" folks conveniently omit the fact that they think it should only apply when the new meaning is beneficial to them. Otherwise, they are perfectly happy to argue the opposite viewpoint.
This is prescriptive, not descriptive language analysis...

About your last paragraph, I find it quite telling that diversity notoriously does not include diversity of thought, it's all about immutable character traits. It is also sometimes no longer considered permissible to hide your immutable character traits anymore which I find sad.
