Great, then we'll keep using Privacy Pass, picture/audio CAPTCHAs, and proof of work, since you think those existing solutions are good?

----

People have a tendency to lean into whatever outcome they want as if it's the default outcome that everyone else needs to disprove. But the reality is, Turnstile is a new system that is being newly developed as a response to changing conditions around traditional CAPTCHA methods, and it's not any privacy advocate's fault that robots now know how to do OCR.

And "I don't need to figure out how to preserve your privacy" should give you some clarity into why privacy advocates are not very sympathetic when you say "well, we have to start doing fingerprinting now because the robots broke everything, what is the alternative?"

Nah, we don't have to find you an alternative if you have no interest in actually working with us to meet everyone's needs equally. It stinks that robots broke your audio CAPTCHAs, but that's not Firefox's fault and it's not a privacy advocate's job to fix. Particularly not in the situation where you're unwilling to advocate for our needs alongside your own.

It's really hard to understand what you mean. Could you clarify, taking into account these two results, firstly a correct calculation from a statically typed language, Haskell, and secondly an incorrect calculation from a dynamically typed language, Python

It's very easy, their sales team will reach out and tell you about the paid options to manage your company profile. That's why the whole website is so dishonest. They keep claiming reviews are not influenced by companies and at the same time pressuring those companies to pay to cleanup their profile.
> Is this a hypothesis that we can specify and test? Is this how we would approach this problem? It sounds more like a cynical write-off, not a actual strategy

There is nothing to test, it's why I stopped using Firefox. Check the Mozilla foundation page for all the crap they fund instead of the browser. Look how much the UI looks like Chrome, even little things like clicking the searchbar expanding it outside its bounds.

> I'm suggesting, instead of writing off Firefox, we (you specifically, and me and whomever else wants to) start engaging with Mozilla to help figure this stuff out

They don't listen to feedback. When Apple (the company known for telling people they were holding their phones wrong) introduced the safari tab-redesign that merged tabs with the searchbar, it was nearly universally disliked and they backtracked on the change. Apple of all companies backtracked on a bad design. Mozilla? They just keep on going.

When Nintendo was struggling due to the failure of the Wii U, Satoru Iwata took on a massive pay cut to avoid firing people. Mozilla? Fired the Servo team and raised executive compensation.

> In 2020 Mozilla announced it would cut 25% of its worldwide staff of nearly 1,000 to reduce costs. Firefox has fallen from 30% market share to 4% in 10 years. Despite this, executive pay increased 400%, with Mitchell Baker, Mozilla’s top executive, receiving $2.4m in 2018.
Sorry, I misunderstood the parent was talking about sleeping in the same room which is shunned by many. Sleeping in the same bed is a completely different story and I hope nobody is doing that.
Firefox browser and engine is technical obsolete joke. Their sand-boxing security model, multi-threading, graphical libraries... Remember cancelled Servo rewrite, or the whole "multi-threaded" saga?

Try to actually compile that bloody thing, before you write "software to be fully modifiable by any person using tools that are easily, freely available and accessible"

Even Ubuntu team gave up on compiling their software, and are serving mainstream binaries from Mozilla!

Brave has some shady stuff, but that is easy to disable in configuration. And under-hood they follow security patches pretty well, have good security and stuff like 3D acceleration just works!

And you do not need 10 browser extension from some shady authors, that has full access to your browsing data!!!
Also, they rap on the Internet when they really mean World Wide Web. The Internet is fantastic. The Web has never been worse.

restic container with all volumes mounted to /backup/<volumename> (and . to /backup/self - use named volumes, not binds) in my composefile with scale 0 and a backup.sh that's essentially

docker compose down && docker compose run backup && docker compose up -d

The restore procedure is the same, you restore the composefile through restic on the host and then `docker compose run backup restic restore latest --exclude "/data/self/*" --target /`

I find it's fast enough because restic is incremental, but if you can set this up on a filesystem with snapshots that would be a great option too.

Restic takes a bit of fiddling around too. I mount a prepared ssh config, a known hosts file and a private key.

The notorious Oracle lawyers must've put a bunch of legalese in the employment agreement that any failures to secure the laptop can result in liability to Oracle.
I don't know what meaningless mambo jumbo Tesla uses to describe the features and what BS Elon tweets, but at the very least Tesla is super clear about one thing:

> Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.
Archax is a $2.7M pilotable robot for the ultra-wealthy
Right, but it's completely unfair of OP to say that the article is poorly researched because it doesn't touch on something tangential. Tesla has marketing materials that say "the person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons", while their lawyers in court say it's "basically just fancy cruise control". That's the story wapo chose to tell, and it's a perfectly legitimate story.

I'm sure there are plenty of other things we can learn from this incident, but they're not lazy for not focusing on them in this piece.
If they have enough resources to foist unwanted ui overhauls against the wishes of the user, they have enough resources to fix their bugs. We could also begin by firing the worse than useless but rather sabotaging CEO whose first actions upon joining were upping her pay by a few millions and firing 250 employees, and whose pay keeps rising everyday.
> there's laws against texting

Not in several US states, including where I live

> alcohol

Most states legally allow BAC up to 0.08, which is too high for someone expected to make split second decisions

> aggressive driving

Maybe there's laws against it but never seen it enforced. Aggressive driving is extremely common here.

And you say we don't allow these things to happen on public roads?
Totally serious. Botnets for hire are rented by spammers, DDoS extortionists and other scum, for much the same reason legitimate enterprises outsource to specialists so they can focus on their core competencies. Not sure how payment is brokered but I'm sure cryptocurrencies are involved.
Where did I say they're good?
> Autopilot - Future of Driving - Autopilot enables your car to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within its lane under your active supervision, assisting with the most burdensome parts of driving. [...]

https://www.tesla.com/en_eu/models

Reading this, without any other context or knowledge about their capabilities, it does sound like the car can control itself and pilot itself automatically. The name is disingenuous and misleading, so no wonder people think the car can steer, accelerate and brake by itself even though in cases like this, it did neither.
Also one of the first hugely successful bipropellants. Tons of rockets have used IRFNA + UDMH.
Thanks for explaining!

Another approach that I think works well is exemplified by ‘make -n’ where it prints a script for what it would do in a particular situation. Make’s rules-based syntax has its advantages, but imperative scripts are also pretty easy to understand, so it’s nice to see a conversion from one to another. (To go deeper, though, you need to understand what the commands do.)

I haven’t used it, but I believe the Cue language can generate JSON output, which would be another example of translating from a sophisticated config language to a simpler, more verbose one. (Though, again, you need to understand the code that ingests the configuration to go any deeper.)
The “data” in question is reported theft, but the article completely ignores the possibility that theft goes unreported in these areas because the population is aware that reporting the theft will do nothing. It’s hard to take the article seriously when it doesn’t even acknowledge this possible flaw in their data.

The other data point mentioned is “shrink”, which isn’t up much. As far as I can tell, this number is a kind of national average, so I don’t see how it has any bearing on stores which were closed because they are outliers.
I worked in a building that attempted to address this. The three-story glass lobby had its glass wall raked outwards by 30*. If you approached the glass from inside then your feet would contact it before your face, which really helped at night when outside was brighter than the interior. And birds on the outside would see a reflection of the ground rather than transparent glass. All seemed good. Until a convention of blind people booked the lobby for a meeting. When they approached the building from the outside, their canes did not detect the glass wall prior to their faces smacking into it. We hurriedly erected foot-high barriers so their canes has something to see before impact.
As a maintainer I feel like the first tip is not the best approach sometimes. People tend to raise a lot of “I got a problem” issues (well, we all do sometimes) which they solve themselves in a short time (e.g. a misconfiguration). Responding instantly to such sounds inefficient.

> Tesla autopilot has been represented as being capable of handling complex road conditions as well or better than a human

Has it? In question here is Autopilot and not FSD Beta, with the car stating that Autosteer is just to keep you within the lane lines with this popup required to enable it[0] (and a different popup to enable auto-lane-change, if you pay for enhanced). Note that rental cars (or at least my Hertz rental) also have it turned off by default to make sure the person driving sees this.

The post also mentions:

> However, the NTSB also cited Banner’s “overreliance on automation,” saying Tesla’s design “permitted disengagement by the driver” and contributed to the crash. Four years later, despite pleas from safety investigators, regulators in Washington have outlined no clear plan to address those shortcomings, allowing the Autopilot experiment to continue to play out on American roads, with little federal intervention.

In relation to Tesla's efforts, they have since implemented active driver monitoring - if you look down at your phone, or even passenger, for more than a few seconds with it engaged, it loudly beeps and requires you look back at the road. If you don't look at the road, or with enough instances of this, it will suspend your autopilot privileges until you put it in park and back in drive.

Innocent until proven guilty. Unless it drives clicks and increases revenue.

As much as I'd like to jump on this bandwagon. It's above my pay grade.
True. Where is this crazy habit of American consumers winning absurd amounts of money in court for big corp faults of extremely varying severity when you need it just once to stop an actually severe practice?
No one and I agree with you, I probably mentioned it in the above comment that what’s wrong now wasn’t before and vice versa, everything should be on the table to discuss or question, however, after that discussion and regardless how it took (minutes or even in years), if the results showed that what you said was wrong, then the least is an apology for your audience.

Yeah, you can arrange RISC OS on the Pi to boot up into BBC BASIC V. Much of MOS is in there too, but there are things that changed between the BBC and the Archimedes (and between the Arc and the Pi) so not all code is compatible.

Could probably arrange to boot into !65Host or !BeebEm if you want an even closer similarity, though.

Some big chunks of servo got moved into firefox, so it wasn't a complete loss. But it would have been better if servo kept going, even if it never became something you would daily drive and instead it just kept generating good ideas to be subsumed into firefox.

Your first reaction is "sure, even an old Intel 80286 chip can easily do memory-safe C arrays". Because if your code runs in '286 protected mode, using a (yes, scarce) separate segment register for each array, and you don't botch loading the array's base, limit, etc. into the segment descriptors - yep, your regular array-access code (in assembly, C, or whatever) can enjoy memory-safety array access for "free".

Excuse me if I take Tesla's self reported statistics with a grain of salt.

"...statisticians have pointed out serious analytical flaws, including the fact that the Tesla stats involve newer cars being driven on highways. The government’s general statistics include cars of all ages on highways, rural roads and neighborhood streets. In other words, the comparison is apples and oranges."

I run Arch as well and AMD is only "good". I would have a problem every now and then where my RX560 would lose its mind coming out of sleep and I'd have to reboot.

But the other problem that really bugs me is the "AMD reset bug" that you trip over with most AMD GPUs. This is when you pass through a second GPU through to another OS running under KVM, and is what lets you run Linux and (say) Windows simultaneously with full GPU hardware acceleration on the guest. The reset bug means the GPU will hang upon shutdown of the guest and only a reboot will let you recover the card. This is a silicon level bug that has existed for many years across many generations of cards and AMD can't be arsed to fix it. Projects like "vendor-reset" help for some cards, but gnif2 has basically given up (he mentioned he even personally raised the issue with Lisa Su). Even AMDs latest cards like the 7800 XT are affected. NVidia works flawlessly here.
I break two of these all the time: minimize vertical space and define variables close to their use.

I'm one of those people that prefer braces on their own mine, even left braces.

But it works for me. Empty space actually helps me read my code more easily.

Likewise, in C, I define all variables at the top of a scope. This is dangerous in C because of the possibility of uninitialized data, but Clang catches everything. And I prefer it because Clang has a warning to enforce that style so that I can't mix styles. Also, using those variables becomes like using type inference in other languages; the first use looks like initialization without the type annotation.

Not that the author is wrong, but don't feel bad if you depart from this for your own personal stuff. And follow whatever style policy is required by your employer.

If they don't watch the manual video, they aren't going to figure out how to engage autopilot. There isn't a button labeled that. The manual also indicates limitations. If the rental agency isn't disabling the autopilot, and at least forcing the renter to agree to the disclaimer when they re enable it, they are being unwise. They need to clear out phones linked as keys anyway.
> I'm not the one complaining about the existing solutions not being good.

So you are complaining that the existing solutions aren't good?

I mean, I'm perfectly fine sticking with existing CAPTCHA audio systems or proof of work. They're problematic but workable; over time we can push for systems like privacy pass that improve them for everyone. But if you want to propose that we go all-in on fingerprinting and capability testing, then what's your plan to mitigate the new privacy risks from that?

OK. Let's take the U.S. out of the equation and look at Japan's inflation - https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/inflation-cpi.
Hmmm... you'd expect with the 'unsustainable' government spending in Japan that there would be an uptick in inflation. There's nothing of the sort - unless my eyes are lying to me. And this goes back to my second point - nobody really knows what levels of government spending are sustainable, and my guess, given that it's not just Japan with a high debt/GDP ratio, that it's likely a much larger number than some posters here would like to admit.
Legal reasons include a big popup gating access to the autosteer feature, as well as active driver monitoring to ensure you're watching the road. It's not "only there for legal reasons" and I don't see any marketing material that implies as such [0].

Competence was never the point I was making by adding nationality.

Foreign nationals don't meet the "Unquestioning loyalty to the US" criterion for security clearance, meaning it is much less likely they might collaborate willingly with the US. They're also less exposed to pressure from the US Government, especially if they are not resident/GC holders.

I personally think it is quite paranoid to assume that any US resident or national cryptographer is in cahoots with the NSA but if we are strictly considering risks, then this process is open to scrutiny by world-wide participants, many of whom may not sit on a vulnerability at the behest of the US GOV - actually, for many of them, finding such a vulnerability would likely mean a top tier paper at CRYPTO/EUROCRYPT probably with best paper awards and all the plaudits that make an academic career for life.
It's a fairly hypothetical problem, like it may not even be a problem, other than the intuition that having 8 applications all thrashing wildly and competing for the same page table may not be the most performant way of allocating resources.
You are confusing Autopilot with FSD which are two very different systems with very different capabilities.
