How is voting different from other federal states? EP frequently alters EC proposals. Council consists of heads of state, commission is appointed by council and parliament, and the parliament is directly elected.

It's not simply about there being a notability policy.

PGP encryption should be taught in school. Ingrained.

Data privacy used to be trampled on with the fear of ‘terrorism’, but the Americans blasted the airwaves with the word so much that it diluted the word to the point it instills zero fear.

You got it right: They do not care. They do not care that privacy, democracy and freedom are taken away from them because they never cared that they had that in the first place. It's the eternal conservative vote that will never consider an alternative regardless of fact.

They vote Republican in the US and CDU here in Germany. Doesn't matter if they vote for a convicted criminal or that they ruin the future of their children and grandchildren.

Economic interdependence is a deterrent against war, not an absolute barrier.

A simple way to view the first statement is that by both doubling the request rate and halving the processing time, you're effectively speeding up time by a factor of 2. If you were to record a video of the entire system, someone switching the parameters as you describe and someone putting the recorded video on a 2x fast forward would be fundamentally indistinguishable. So, naturally, the response time gets cut down on half as well.

I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but I want to ask it because I see the same sentiment across HN and other forums and I’m legitimately confused.

If we don’t hijack privacy in messaging, how do we fight crime happening on a message platform? If government doesn’t have access to message contents, what’s stopping criminals from using the platform and never get tracked down? Or proven guilty, since all the proof is safely encrypted? Aren’t we hurting ourselves by being so obsessed with privacy? Again, I apologize for ignorance and am curious
There's a distinction between carrying high speed electrical signals across a PCB and carrying them over 30m or 100m (10GbT range.) Those "long reach" electrical transcievers are chock full of both analog and digital wizardry to both push and also decipher what becomes quite a mushy signal, which is why it's so energy intensive.

You can also think about it another way: SFPs are also connected with high bandwidth electrical links; for 10GE that signal is a pure straight 10.3125 Gbaud. Yet the SFPs don't heat up as much. You can also look up 10Gbase-KR, which is "stretching those plain PCB signals as far as we possibly can", as well as DAC cables and their ranges.

State of the art [cf. https://www.xilinx.com/products/technology/high-speed-serial... ] for SERDES blocks (= what makes your short-range PCB electrical link) is ca. ≤ 150Gbaud at PAM4 (2 bits per baud), i.e. ca. 300Gbit/s, but you need error correction at that point. PCIe 7.0 pulls back to a safe (and cheaper to manufacture) 64Gbaud with PAM4 to get its 128GT/s.

Amen. I’ve worked on privacy issues in the states. Never again. The overlap between people who care about privacy and those who are too lazy and/or nihilistic to engage with the civic process might as well be perfect.

If you care about this, call your elected. If you won’t, that’s the problem.
Why does AI hallucinate?…

I haven't used a DJI drone since I got my Spark, so this is a few years out of date, but when I set that up the procedure was incredibly locked down and invasive. You had to install the app, which had to have full access to everything, and which had to have an active internet connection to update the drone firmware. So at the least, it was extorting your physical location, details of any wifi network, access to phone photos, and iirc a bunch of other stuff (like I said it was a few years). The whole way through the app took a very authoritative tone ("do X, do Y, you must do Z") as well. I used a dedicated second hand phone with no SIM card (after initial setup) but it was still uncomfortable and there's no way in hell I'd have allowed the app on my main phone. No idea what it's like now but I'd be amazed if it's more free or respectful of privacy.

I don't think they're a CCP front, and their actual core product engineering is amazing, but my understanding is that like any sufficiently large organisation in China (or any country, I guess) they must comply with government instructions.

"Often, the quality of the pieces is nearly indistinguishable, at a much lower price."

This is the statement on your site that I take a big disagreement with. Yes there's a lot of other companies making these bricks but the quality, in my experience, is nowhere near the same. The after purchase customer support is also lacking.

The quality of the Lego brick and the quality control used to make it is second to none. I have 50-year-old Lego bricks that still hold together really well they have been played with by multiple generations of kids and hold up. I have other brands such as mega that are 20 years old and they do not stick together as well as the Lego blocks. The colors have not retained the same either.

The other thing to be said is the after purchase support. For Lego it is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with. Sometimes we underestimate the support a company provides. When you don't need it you never think about it but when you do and it's lacking that can ruin your entire experience with the company. Lego their support has never been lacking once. On the extremely rare case that a brick is missing simply fill out a form and it's on its way to you. Have a package that never arrived at your house or maybe it was stolen Lego goes above and beyond to replace it. Additionally if it contained one time gift items or other unique gifts they will do whatever they can to replace that as well.

Lego absolutely has a premium cost over the other companies that produce their knockoff product. I do like many of the sets the other companies produce they are nowhere in the same league of product. Even with their lesser cost, I'm still more satisfied purchasing actual Lego branded product.

If a message platform is gov controlled, criminals will use other alternatives that are not monitored, which they probably already do.

What you end up is just having the gov having all information about private citizens, which can be used against us.

For example, the government of Spain constantly shares private citizen data of people near political adversaries for political reasons, also, I don't want people knowing what I share with my girlfriend, regardless of it they do something or not with it publicly.
I'd disagree that really learning it and being proficient is any easier than other domains. People may have impression that it's easy to pick up since the number of 20 minute python tutorials vastly outnumbers 20 minute heart surgery tutorials, but it takes a long time, hard work and good mentorship to really pick up. A formal education helps as well, just like in other professions. You can self-learn carpentry or accounting or physiotherapy, but just like with software engineering, a good (!) proper education brings you further and quicker.

the issue cannot be "solved" it's a false myth that the issues need to be "solved". Have we solved murder yet? And why in the US the murder rate is 10 folds the European one? Are US politicians lobbying for more homicides?

It's too easy to frame the issues in a context where I am right and the other part is wrong, because yes.

I used to run a service free as in speech and as in free beer to host little snippets of text to pass them around, I started it because I was tired of not being able to easily share some piece of information from my mobile phone to some other device.

It's astonishing the amount of spam and illegal material, from simple copyright infringement to porn - probably revenge porn or people sharing media of unaware victims-, that the service was getting used for in a very short amount of time.

I guess there are probably botnets scanning the entire internet for vulns or open services to abuse them.

I shut it down voluntarily, nobody reported me or said anything to me or forced me to do a thing, I simply did not want to be part of something like that and and had no time/resource to properly fight the spam.

This is the sad state of affairs and refusing to even discuss about it, to me means burying your head in the sand.

Take malware that is part of a botnet. Its initial payload is not necessarily damaging to the host, but is awaiting instructions to e.g. DDOS some future victim.

The authors will want the malware to spread as far and wide as it can on e.g. a corporate network. So they need to make a risk assessment; if the malware stays on the current computer, is the risk of detection (over time, as the AV software gets updates) higher than the opportunity to use this host for nefarious purposes later?

The list[1] of processes simulated by cyber scarecrow are mostly related to being in a virtual machine though. Utilities like procmon/regmon might indicate the system is being used by a techie. I guess the malware author's assumption is that these machines will be better managed and monitored than the desktop/laptop systems used by office workers.

Hey Hackers

Super excited to share Droppable!

Here's a quick overview of what it does:
Droppable is a little native macOS application for large file sharing (up to 2TB), with a messenger-style UI and imported contacts. It makes sending files quicker and more efficiently compared to existing alternatives out there(like WeTransfer of Dropbox Transfer). It's designed for creatives, like photographers and videographers, for whom sending large transfers is a repetitive daily business.

Droppable was built entirely with SwiftUI to perfectly fit your macOS experience. We've been heavily inspired by Raycast and Craft, which are native apps. That's the level of craftsmanship we aim to achieve.

If it sounds interesting, feel free to give it a try for free. Would love to hear what you guys think.
I make a lot of bread at home, and bread in an airtight container, at room temp, goes moldy within 48 hours where I live. I can imagine this wouldn’t happen in the fridge.

Store bought bread follows its own rules though. Given the sheer quantity of additives they have.

Where I have lived, if you put traditionally made bread (just water, salt, flour and yeast) in an airtight container at room temperature it’ll be covered in mold within a day or two.
I'm not sure where you got the take that the left thinks of it as trauma; it's consequent events (e.g. your ancestors could not get an education, job, and/or buy a house because of racism -> you did not benefit from generational wealth even though there is now less racism).

I'm also not sure where you get the far right idea from; I don't think they believe in "a sort of cultural memory", it's just culture, nothing woo about it.

TL;DR it feels like you're misrepresenting political sides to try and make this article about politics.
Another change is that some groups will be exempt from invigilation.
