> The obvious call concern is that Google are emotionally exploiting you. As the services are addictive by nature, that is par for the course.

I think this part is how our views differ. YouTube is a whole lot different than it used to be, and it's a whole lot deeper than what it looks on the surface. There's a ton of videos there that aren't made to be addictive. For example world class instructional videos, educational videos, and such.

You can rant at me for going to the super market, claiming they're exploiting me by putting addictive sugar and other crap in the candy bars and potato chips. That is what you go to the supermarket for and the only thing you see. But I go to the back to buy vegetables and a steak.

> I think it's important to remember life was fine for everyone long before Google, and would be just fine if they vanished in the next two decades.

The same can be said of any technology, or just in general anything. But information can have immense value. Today if you have a car problem you can go on YouTube and find a video with an expert showing you exactly what to do. Just one of many examples. There was no business model for independent video creators before YouTube. Now the consumer can choose freely, instead of the capitalist or communist scumbag executives deciding what should be seen.

> This is all business.

Yes, and the product is incredibly cheap for the amount of value you can get from it.

One thing communists and capitalists have in common is that they can never enjoy life for a single moment. One for the obsession of making a dollar, the other for the obsession of saving a dollar. All beauty is sucked out of life by these materialistic faiths.
Considering how much of car manufacturing is done by union workers, I don’t think you can make a good argument that it is practical.

It boils down to pedestrian safety, not the external radius. The high bonnet and bumper mean that a pedestrian would likely be hit by the ultra-hard stainless steel structure of the front bumper and bodywork, where the grille would traditionally be.
What kind of corruption are we talking about?
Lets* https://youryoure.com/?apostrophe
First they destroyed the old internet by “forgetting” sites from search and created “platforms”.

Then they abused adnetworks to take the biggest share and control over what users can do or will likely do with their user agents.

Then they degraded every site and product searchability into ads-favored keyword matching.

Then, when people started using their well-setup cardboard box traps to their taste, they demanded to either pay for that or to forcefully watch ads.

I’m not gonna play a reasonable guy here, because it’s not a logical issue. I never wanted or expected to live in an internet like that. Google can go cry in a corner and look miserable.

And everyone should install ublock origin. Think of it as Python 3 or ESM or Democracy. It’s much better, you all just have to figure out new life with it.

> The OP was talking about the unsubscribe loading too slow, not the mail.

OK thanks, my bad. But you also seem to miss something, namely my point: you seem to imply that I'd be opposed to users marking unsolicited or dark pattern mailing lists emails as spam, if they indeed are such. Or that the existence of such emails somehow undermines my point. But that's not it.

The overarching problem is of course spam in the first place, secondly the substandard systems that email services use to identify spam. In third place I'd place the problem I raised, that legit emails are not delivered correctly, where part of the problem seems to be that users use the 'spam' label as a dislike button.

But here's the kicker: this last problem is mainly what might threaten email as a means of correspondence, period: If I get a lot of junk then I can sift that out to get to my real messages. But if my real messages don't reach me at all then that's likely game over for the email era.
I was talking about international visitors actually. An LGBT resident of Zanzibar faces the same risks and oppressions whether they are at a Python conference or any other public place. So I don't see how that's relevant. What matters is (a) whether sponsoring would not further PSF's inclusivity goals because not all diverse types of people are welcome at the conference (b) whether the entire country morally deserves to be boycotted, like South Africa under apartheid.

Israeli airport security is racist and that's a fact. Being able to hide your religion is not always possible. PSF put religion, sexual orientation, national origin, and ethnicity on an equal footing in their consideration of diversity. https://www.python.org/community/diversity/

Yes, both Zanzibar and Israel are doing bad things and certain groups are affected. But these arguments only seem to come out when "people like us" are affected (LGBT, not Muslims) and when "people unlike us" are affecting (Africans, not Israelis. Not Floridians. Not...).
Let’s say I am a mighty evil lord who put you there against your will.

There's a HUGE difference between:

And

"Women are second class citizens and owned by their male counterparts. And we put gay people and trans people to death."

As much as I hate saying it, it doesn't matter who the individuals in a country are, and how tolerant they are. The laws by the ruling power are what you have to follow.

And fuck no going to a country based on Muslim Sharia. I know their book, and their brand of hate. Call it 'islamophobia', but I'd also be enslaved or executed if I stepped foot on their territories.

What sort of metadata or information can be gathered from a push notification from an app like iMessage? I know a timestamp is there and most likely the sender's phone number.

But is there some sort of sensitive info that these governments are trying to glean? Or is it more so they can build info maps and communication maps on targets?
Most commonly I see people use Alembic to migrate SQLAlchemy and Pydantic models.

Good, after seen Marques' review on youtube last thing I would want is to be involved in a crash with a cybertruck. Those angles and steel plates will cause gruesome consequences for everyone involved in such an accident. Happy to see our regulation working.
Not only is it a danger to pedestrians "brushing" up against its sharp edges:

"Musk implied that in a crash with another vehicle, the Cybertruck—which weighs 6,603–6,843 lbs (2,995–3,104 kg)—will destroy the other vehicle."

That is good news. Additionally, I would appreciate any kind of steps taken to make it unviable to drive any other US-style truck here as well.

This depends on how the app implements notifications, and which mechanism is used to disable them. I know FCM/Android, not APNS/iOS, so here's a breakdown:

1. The app registers a push token with their backend. This can happen without granting notification permissions, and without notifying the user. So the backend is free to start sending push messages immediately after registration, which is typically done on the first app launch.

2. The controls available in Android's per-app notification settings have nothing to do with push messaging. These allow the user to limit or change how the app displays notifications, regardless of the reason the app is displaying them. Some apps have additional options to disable push messages, but that preference must be communicated to the app's backend to prevent the backend from sending pushes in the first place. Some apps may consider Android's notification settings to determine this preference, but it's extra work to do so.

The concepts of "push messaging" and "notifications" are often used interchangeably, but at least on Android these are separate systems that are tied together with client code. The push messages may also contain notification data, and the official FCM client will display these automatically, so this confusion is understandable.
Makes me wonder if NHTSA tests not only the performance of a vehicle in terms of protecting its occupants, but also the performance of the vehicle in terms of what it does to any other vehicles it might come into contact with.

I assume they do some testing for vehicle vs. pedestrian or vehicle vs. cyclist, but would they run a Cybertruck into a Toyota Camry to see how the outcome compares for both vehicles compared to running an F-150 into the same Camry?
I have a bit of a different take on this.

If we win the war against Ads lots of content won’t get made. But, the content that thrives in an Ad driven world is mostly toxic rage bait. I would argue that losing this content and instead only being left with content that people will actually pay for is a big net win for humanity.

Likely we will never see a world without Ads but I can dream.
Metadata in this case apparently means Apple and Google are helping find “this real user connected to that real user at this time”. So governments may or may not be able to decrypt a push message payload, or data delivered because of that payload.

Before I knew anything about sorting algorithms, I invented my own algorithm to sort the high score list in my little BASIC game. It was very simple: Find the highest score, swap it to the top and continue, this time starting with the second item, until done. I imagine that if I ever find myself in need of writing a sorting algorithm from memory, I'll still go with this one.

There's no need for notification snooping when these apps are spamming requests to unique subdomains on analytics services and their own APIs. DNS snooping is a much easier method of getting that metadata.

Although I suppose one advantage of push notifications compared to DNS is that they're delivered even when the app isn't open, and more generally they can also serve as a liveness check (successful delivery means your device is online).

Push notifications would be most valuable for p2p metadata (e.g. iMessage key exchange handshake between two users) and, to the degree they can snoop on the message content, obviously that would be valuable.

> Feels like even when a company provides a way to get rid of ads, many people still won't pay.

I don’t think it’ll ever be possible to get everyone to pay, but if it’s easy to pay and priced low enough, paying becomes the easiest option for a lot of people. Why bother pirating music in 2023 when any number of music streaming services are about $10-11/mo?

YouTube Premium bundles YouTube music and costs $19/mo. This is higher than (or on par) a lot of streaming subscriptions.

Another annoyance is that it’s bundled with a music service. Some non-US markets experimented with a cheaper ad-free-YouTube only tier for less than half the price. When that tier of service can be offered, it is very hard to think most of the $19 goes towards storage, bandwidth, and operational overhead.
They should pay their workers more.
I see various people online calling the primitive "splats" (ex: the scene has millions of splats, 248 bytes for each splat, etc). But the primitive are the 3D gaussians, "splat" just refers to how they are rendered. I wonder why people call them "splats", because it's catchier?
Encryption wouldn’t help as the whole point would be to look for coincident timings. I.e. after activity from one user to a known service you see a push occur going to another user. If this pattern repeats you can build confidence they are in contact.

> Current diesel engines can be retrofitted to burn a mix of diesel and hydrogen that reduces emissions by 86%.

There is a large gulf between something that has worked in a research lab once and something that is ready to be commercialized and ready to be implemented in a working ship.

Further, unless they have a way of producing carbon-free hydrogen at all the ports that this ship would have to dock at, then it won't be saving us CO2 emissions.
Stuttgart, Germany

Pros: Great economy, companies like Mercedes Benz, Bosch, STIHL, etc. are from here, which makes the region very rich. We have cool vineyards and a lot to explore (beautiful old towns, black forest, castles, etc.). Great Dialect ;-)

Cons: No ocean. We have 4 seasons, so it gets quite cold for several months of the year. Housing prices are insane, a lot of people are only able to rent. Aaaand we are a meme because of all the construction sites, especially our train station.
In principle yes, but other countries may not recognize it on the basis of human rights. Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "Everyone has the right to a nationality. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality." So it should at least be possible to renounce such a citizenship.

International law regarding nationality generally focuses on preventing statelessness, so there isn’t much on prohibiting additional citizenships.
This attitude is why the IT field is never going away. Businesses need adults and professionals ensuring reliable infrastructure, not "product velocity".

Yes, yes, yes... those are all "legitimate" and likely good uses of this technology, but they're most likely just additional/bonus tertiary use cases to the main use case which motivated Google to expend effort on this feature: DRM.

It's much like how web browsers' incognito/private mode is really useful for web developers and certain kinds of troubleshooting, but those are tertiary uses to the primary consumer use case for which it was originally built: browsing porn without leaving history behind.

The timing would still give you away - with a privileged network position you can tell that a user sent a message to an messaging service, and that some set of users got notifications from that messaging service moments later. Observe that enough times and you'll have good confidence in the members of a group.

If you're trying to hide from that type of attack you need to send a fixed rate stream of messages (most of which are dummy messages, except the occasional message containing genuine content -- like number stations). Furthermore, every point in the chain also needs to avoid revealing which messages are genuine (by fetching the encrypted message from the server when it receives a genuine notification, you're giving data away).

The operator of the app could send messages at fixed intervals to make it more difficult to correlate the messages (more samples required to have confidence in the recipient). If they send dummy notifications they'd probably fall foul of Apple/Google's constraints around invisible-to-the-user notifications (I know Apple prohibits them, I assume Google does as well)

I can't see that frustrating this type of attack would be interesting to Apple/Google: it would push up power & radio bandwidth requirements for everybody pretty significantly.

In Scandinavia we use air to air heat pumps. We generally don't have central heating of any kind so we aren't so tempted to try to shoehorn the heat pump into a system based on hot water.

Air to air is much cheaper and is more efficient because it doesn't need to raise the temperature of the working fluid so much and doesn't require a big fluid to water heat exchanger.

I'm having a Toshiba Polar 35 heat pump installed soon. Nominal output 3.5 kW, maximum output 7 kW. The total cost is 28 kNOK, about 2.6 kUSD, 2 kGBP. Should be enough for the whole ground floor of about 80 square metres.

Lead is only used for the funnel of the CRT, not the front. The front is barium-strontium glass. Lead glass has a tendency to turn yellow/brown with use, giving an ugly picture if used for the front.

You actually don’t even need to make the funnel out of glass at all, since it doesn’t need to be transparent. Tektronix famously made a lot of CRTs out of ceramics [1], with barium-strontium glass used only for the front. This also let them produce a CRT with a completely flat and rectangular front.
