If it was the case the west wouldn't be 70% overweight/obese. They believe in so little they can't even take care of their own self. Depression is on the rise, the loneliness epidemic, &c. it all has the same origin, we changed our ways of life too fast/too much

There isn't much left besides consumerism, it's just that it's disguised under so many masks that you don't even perceive it anymore. The vast majority of hobbies are consumerist, even holidays (I don't have to remind you where "Holy" days came from do I?) became consumer oriented, vacation destinations are 90% about consumerism (I went to X, I've done X, it's all a checkbox in some todo list)

We consume our endless diarrhea of entertainment, we consume our vacation destinations, we consume our news sources, we consume our "content", we consume our sub par food, if you can even call that food anymore. People spend something like 4 to 6 hours per day in from of their mobile, doomscrolling twitter/instagram/reddit or playing games.

Anyways, we'd need a book to unravel that topic.

“At the beginning of human history, man lost some of the basic animal instincts in which an animal's behavior is embedded and by which it is secured. Such security, like paradise, is closed to man forever; man has to make choices. In addition to this, however, man has suffered another loss in his more recent development inasmuch as the traditions which buttressed his behavior are now rapidly diminishing. No instinct tells him what he has to do, and no tradition tells him what he ought to do; sometimes he does not even know what he wishes to do. Instead, he either wishes to do what other people do (conformism) or he does what other people tell him to do (totalitarianism).”

Scientists Find Mysterious Brain Wave That Could Boost Memory and Creativity

People being defrauded, injured, poisoned, and dying must be much more efficient. That's the reality that drove the formation of these agencies.

I'm sure an inability to trust the safety, quality, and accuracy of the things one buys wouldn't have any negative effect at all on a market.

The illustrious and unbesmirched track record of the worlds major auditing, accountancy, and credit firms has demonstrated beyond doubt that private enterprise can truly be trusted to handle these matters in a manner that puts society's needs at the forefront.

Since we're already laughing, I propose we go further! Privatising the military would unleash the inherent good and efficiency only found within corporations. A free market of privately held armies, competing against one another for the benefit of society. Federal taxes would drop drastically, what could go wrong?

CVE-2022-24401: The Air Interface Encryption (AIE) keystream generator relies on the network time, which is publicly broadcast in an unauthenticated manner. This allows for decryption oracle attacks.

CVE-2022-24402: The TEA1 algorithm has a backdoor that reduces the original 80-bit key to a key size which is trivially brute-forceable on consumer hardware in minutes.

CVE-2022-24404: Lack of ciphertext authentication on AIE allows for malleability attacks.

CVE-2022-24403: The cryptographic scheme used to obfuscate radio identities has a weak design that allows attackers to deanonymize and track users.

CVE-2022-24400: A flaw in the authentication algorithm allows attackers to set the Derived Cypher Key (DCK) to 0.

"At its core, TETRA security relies a set of secret, proprietary cryptographic algorithms which are only distributed under strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to a limited number of parties. These algorithms consist of the TETRA Authentication Algorithm (TAA1) suite for authentication and key distribution purposes, and the TETRA Encryption Algorithm (TEA) suite for Air Interface Encryption (AIE). The TEA suite consists of four stream ciphers with 80-bit keys: TEA1 to TEA4, where TEA1 and TEA4 were intended for commercial use and restricted export scenarios while TEA2 and TEA3 were intended for use by European and extra-European emergency services respectively. In addition, optional, vendor-specific end-to-end encryption (E2EE) solutions can be deployed on top of AIE."

Nobody is comparing against Bangladesh. They're comparing against India, China, Brazil, etc.
The why is simple: Power/frequency limits allow everybody to be able to use personal consumer devices without licensing and without preventing other people from using their devices. If you modified your WiFi to blast out a 10W signal across multiple channels at your house, you completely ruin my ability to use Wifi at my house next door. Radio spectrum is shared by everybody.

As for reading there's CFR title 47 [0]. Parts 15 and 18 are germane for unlicensed radios and electronic devices. Parts 22 and 24 cover cellular devices.

The regulations don't explicitly say anything about firmware but to build devices that follow the regulations end user modifiable firmware is an implicit restriction. Even user serviceable antennas are restricted because radio device licenses cover not just the electrical output but total gain of the shipped antenna.

GDPR generally applies to companies and organisations, or individuals processing data as part of their business or professional activities, not typically to individuals acting in a purely personal or household capacity.

This is outlined in Article 2, which defines the scope of the GDPR. Specifically, Article 2(2)(c) states:

"This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity"

I'd suggest that recording within my own home comes under the "household activity" clause.
Meyers Briggs (MBTI) is based on Jungian archetypes. Those were explicitly designed by Jung as a framework for discussing emotions and the unconscious like you are saying, and were never intended to offer any new information on their own.

People misunderstand the MBTI because all it does is locate what you tell it about how you see yourself onto a coordinate system.

From a Jungian perspective, the result of the MBTI is not interesting directly- people already know how they see their own personality!

The point of these archetypes from Jung’s perspective is to figure out which types you don’t identify with- what would be the opposite of your MBTI type, or your “shadow.” This gives you some perspective on exploring the aspects of yourself you have rejected, allowing you to be a more well rounded (integrated) person. This is a painful and difficult process, and the very idea of it is usually upsetting to people when they first hear of it.

It is very simple and straightforward tool, but is mostly misunderstood and misused, which also leads people to expecting it to have some “magical powers” or dismissing it as “pseudoscience.” It was never intended to be “magic” or “science” but to be a system to help people explore themselves in ways they otherwise would not. It is intended to be a set of arbitrary axes- however they are aspects that Jung personally felt were important for people to explore, according to his own values and philosophy.
I find it odd how people refuse to admit that Musk has made some errors. He is a human who takes big swings, and has his share of failures to prove it. It's ok to admit that. I'll note, there is no mention of "Thud" [0], another failure of his.

==Acquired by Tesla, who remains a major supplier of residential solar panels.==

Tesla bought Solar City for $2.6 billion in 2016. In 2019, they targeted 1,000 installations a week. In 7 years, Tesla has installed a total of 3,000 solar systems, getting to about 20 installations a week. Add in the fact that he purchased the company from his own cousins and the story looks worse. [1]

==Still a company.==

It is still an existing company, but that doesn't make it a success. Founded 7 years ago, has built one actively used tunnel. They also had to change the entire idea (it's actually just Teslas driving underground).

That problem really must be bad because I don't think I've seen anything of major value on Twitter in my entire time using it.
I'll defend him, he's done great work at SpaceX and Tesla, and I hope he can somehow accept that he's failed at Twitter/X and move back to doing great work at Tesla/SpaceX. I don't expect it to happen anytime soon, he's got too much money, but people can do great things and not necessarily have admirable character overall or only have admirable traits in certain contexts.

Edit: I'm ejecting this thread, Musk discourse is so divorced from rational conversation, the hatred (and admiration) is too overpowering for too many.

To be honest, I find your epistemological lapse even more confusing than believers in astrology. There's no significant epistemological difference between eg astrological claims and religious claims. You don't even have to limit yourself "whacky" religions; any of the mainstream ones will do.

I have seen many failed or very expensive projects. An unordered list of issues.

1. Sunk cost. Quit before it hurts.
2. Non-technical leaders. Talk to experts when it comes to tech. I don't care if you watched a Youtube-vid.
3. Tech people that think they know it all. Don't build waste that solves problems that the business does not have.
4. Person cult. Anybody can make simple mistakes.
5. Department cult. Quit pretending that the guys at your department are smarter.
6. No scope. Define what to do.
7. No order. Prioritize what is important.
8. Premature or upfront decisions. Why create time estimates first and then figure out what to do.
9. Cowboys. Crazy time estimates that someone high up in the hierarchy just made up without talking to anybody.
10. Everything tech. Not sure why, but some dev teams can't add a simple feature without rebuilding half the tech stack. Features are built on current stack. Tech is built with tech decisions but may be necessary to add a feature.
11. Overlapping. Multiple people doing the same work.
12. Bad architecture. Architecture that does not simplify anything.

Vim and Tmux as a tiny quasi IDE
He’s produced a lot of value for a lot of people over the years, and many things some of us see every day (like Teslas) are only the way they are/have been successful the way they are because of his influence.

It’s always been more as a promoter and image seller, but he has also been willing to make big calls and take risks others won’t which has allowed them to grow. That is valuable. And he has been hands on in some areas sometimes in ways that have been instrumental in shaping things. For better or worse.

He’s far from perfect. But no one is, and honesty is important.

I suspect the big issue here is something typical of narcissists - he’s gotten older, and he can’t keep up his game convincingly enough anymore to fool a large enough percentage of the public, so he’s downward spiraling. And internally he can feel it, which makes it worse.

It would explain a lot, especially the often bizarre and destructive attacks on anyone who says anything he doesn’t like. The over the top edgy/controversial behavior to get reactions, etc.
Being a very good speaker, or leader, isn't really about convincing everyone, but convincing a certain group of people consistently. This being HN I don't want to get all that political, but I am sure you can think of a few recent US presidents, from both parties, which were seen as quite charismatic and great at speaking, even though they were seen as unconvincing, and downright loathed by many in their opposition. You can find the same situation in many non-political speakers: The magnetism doesn't really hit everyone.

So someone can be very effective and charismatic while turning off a non-trivial percentage of the people: I've seen this in company executives a whole lot. The people that dislike the CEO will bounce quick, and in the end you end up with a workforce that is very loyal, via self-selection.

So is he a talented speaker? Just by by how many people react well to him, the answer is yes, regardless of how well he might convince you or me.

I’m from the timeline that is slightly older than you by the looks of it. The first couple of releases of IE were garbage, and I would argue it was IE4 where the writing was clearly on the wall for Netscape. Mind you, if Netscape had continued apace, then it should have been fine. 1995 Netscape Navigator 2 was full of promise and life. A little bundle of hopes and dreams. IE2 around the same time was the Cuckoo in the nest. Ugly, dishonestly planted, and soon taking all the nutrients from the Netscape hatchling until it withered away.

Ahh Microsoft; ever were you the great teacher on the reality of power.

> his social media antics (pedo guy,

I didn't know this one and just read more about it. This is so absurd.
The Shang of early China are a good example. The oracle bone divination was highly systematized. They would ask the ancestors questions written on bones and shells, with the supposed answers forming along the cracks through the writing when subjected to intense heat. This role was fundamental to the king's power and authority -- a common question was whether and how to perform human sacrifices.

They were meticulous record keepers about it. Answers were collated and tallied. Ancestors who weren't helpful were punished and not asked as many serious questions; those who were helpful became relied upon. Almost experimental in nature.

Anyway, it may have all worked. In the sense of producing decisions with outcomes better than random chance. Like the common interpretation of how a Ouija board works, sort of. Group subconsciousness subtly pulling in one direction more than another.

I doubt this is the reason. It seems more likely that no one has bothered to fix it. I agree that captive portals are a big hack with poor UX. This auto-detection does mitigate it but it is still very annoying especially if you have secure setups like encrypted DNS so the basic hijacking doesn't work properly.

Long ago the first place I worked developed a HyperCard stack for Myers-Briggs evaluations for a specific company. The company used it as tool to improve communications between existing employees. The purpose is to give everyone the same language. Fundamentally one is not in simply one category but can move through all the categories based on their current state and context.

Helping people have language to express this thoughts has value.

Misuse of any tool is a problem.
These are more like frameworks for imagining & interacting with the complexities of reality. Similar to an interactive Philosophy. Worldviews cannot be avoided & nobody holds a purely objective viewpoint...anyone who claims to hold an purely objective viewpoint is a liar or delusional.

When does a backdoor get promoted from bug? Does a backdoor require for to have been intentionally added? How do researchers prove intent?
Interesting thread today. I see lots of haters here in the comments.

While you all very well may be right about his future failure with Twitter, I think it’s important to highlight that Musk is very different from most people in that he looks like he’s failing until he succeeds, and he’s done that with just about every company he’s run.

Twitter make look like a dumpster fire now, but based on past history, I’m betting he’s going to make a ton of money here (but it won’t happen over night).
Also PBS Spacetime: https://www.pbs.org/video/what-if-the-universe-is-math-mysv4...
Including adding back dead people murdered by the same people who funded the Twitter buyout. The level of self-awareness surrounding Musk is astonishingly absent.

There is a known traffic pattern for a GET request to Protonmail - size of the initial request, # of subsequent requests (for subresources, like CSS, JS, images, etc), and size of those requests, as well as size of those responses.

There is a known overhead for encapsulating these requests in an OpenVPN or WireGuard tunnel.

So even without looking at the contents of the traffic at all, the metadata your ISP collects can easily reveal that you sent outbound traffic and received inbound traffic that had a high statistical correlation with the expected traffic flow of a request to Protonmail encapsulated within a Wireguard tunnel, to a known VPN node, and then a (known) number of milliseconds before that VPN's upstream provider also made a request that perfectly matched the expected packet flow of Protonmail. If you have visibility into the traffic netflow of both your ISP and the VPN's upstream provider, consider yourself confidently unmasked.

The initial fingerprinting laid firm groundwork for your adversary to suspect you went to protonmail, and then the network behavior of the first destination machine you connected to simply offered confirmation of that.

In case you're unfamiliar with the concept of website traffic metadata fingerprinting I've discussed above: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-irtf-pearg-website-fin...
