I'm pretty unclear from your post how GPDR is different from any other compliance standard

Overall, many of the 'problems' here seem natural, signs of it working, and even good?

Ex - variety: I would expect a bank vs a retailer vs a startup to have significantly different implementations of GDPR. Even within the same industry & weight class, I would expect different companies to have different risk appetites -- that's ultimately a commercial decision -- and thus different takes on what they consider appropriate risk-adjusted compliance

Ex - certainty: While I am a (strong!) advocate of making checkbox compliance provide an optional automatable conformance testing API, I also recognize that making such an interface a hard requirement would lead to excessive rigidity. The real world has ~400 million companies with all sorts of edge cases who benefit from ambiguity & interpretation in policies. The compromise here and elsewhere has been the same: As you get bigger, bring in security experts and auditors. If you've done anything like SOC2, HIPAA, etc, it seems normal, and in my experience, successfully reveals issues that get fixed / starts the paper trail for corporate malfeasance?

Ex - GCP: I would think a bank better understand how its cloud data processor is working enough to answer basics like where customer data is flowing, whether another country or company sees it, etc? And if not, that's a pretty core problem both with the bank and the cloud data processor?

I'm not sure what the problem with the cookie thing is. Companies can choose not to track, improve their EULAs, etc. Maybe it's that it's too easy for companies to just do a popup and trick/force users into being tracked... and you want something stronger than gpdr?
I'm curious what people with >1Gbps service are running for their home networks.
I'm setting up a bunch of new Unifi gear 90% of it is 1Gbps speed, this is prosumer gear too so I'm wondering where people are buying cheap 10GbE equipment.

These tiling environments are great when you can just drag corners with your mouse to change the size of regions. When that isn't a feature, I find it isn't very usable for me at least
Is your point that student loan debt is flowing to the administrators of higher education and making it's way back to the economy to push up home prices?

If so, it's an interesting hypothesis, but there's a few questions like a) why did it only start to occur in the last decade or so when student loans have been increasing for decades, b) why does this specifically impact housing prices and not other CPI items, and c) has there been any empirical data to actually show this relationship?

> Frontier is bringing its new 7-gig fiber internet option to customers across the country. The 7-gig plan costs $309.99 / month and is the fastest widely available fiber plan so far.

I'm not against 'progress' generally per se, but I think that you're reaching diminishing returns >1 Gbps, and that's quite the price tag, especially compared to:

> Google Fiber has a $150 / month 8Gbps plan, but it’s only available in select cities, such as San Antonio, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Mesa, Arizona.

From a strictly societal utilitarian perspective, I would think that going for more ubiquitous fibre coverage would be better.

Back in the last century/millennium, there was a mass push to having electricity and telephone connections everywhere, and I'd like to see the same thing done with fibre Internet—ideally owned by local government, with Layer 3 being provided by companies:

How about: "join a citizens commission, any of them, and familiarize yourself with your police oversight commission".
But from the article and the quote it says that after a new card is issued, the code ABCD (which 0123 generates in the digital wallet) is actually associated with the new card number on the backend.

I think that the article is trying to say is that the digital wallet automatically updates to the new card with no additional authentication mechanism? That’s the vulnerability here, if I understand correctly. Once an attacker can associate a stolen card with a digital wallet, the victim can cancel that card and get a new one issued but the attacker still retains access because purchases are done with the virtual token which is mapped on the backend. As long as you have the right virtual token, the bank will map that to the correct account.

Like this is a serious issue with digital wallets if true. The advice at the end of the article is key then:

> turn on email notifications when a card is added/removed from the wallet, turn on transaction alerts for credit cards, regularly check credit card statements and review devices linked to credit cards through the bank's web portal or mobile app account settings.
"Serverless" means 1- pay for what you use. 2- No infra setup, ever. Dokku requires a server that you have to manage. It is not serverless. You should never hit a scaling wall.

I'm more surprised by the subtle implication everyone makes that there's no backdoors in Signal. That would be weird assumption to make.
Yeah, the poor fella is crying all the way to the bank.
Mentioned on the a similar comment regarding bathrooms. I think there's other ways to engineer a mutually acceptable solution. Just requires some intent and planning. The off button is just rolling over on accountability when it can be used at will. It's the lazy approach and it's absolutely a byproduct of them not wanting accountability yet being the ones procuring body cameras (eg. they asked for off buttons)

I love seeing developments like this, and while Frontier wouldn't be my first choice in provider, it's a good thing that even a historically poor performer like Frontier is pushing the boundary a bit.

What I don't love seeing is the same, predictable responses every time something like this is posted. It's always the same: "oh, they'll never be able to deliver", "their subscribers will never use it, why don't they stick with 50/10", "I get by just fine on my 100Kbps ADSL", "why would anyone want to stream video". I get it, as tech people, we're predisposed to being skeptical and questioning, but why the hostility to progress? Okay then, let's just stick with dialup, because that's only anything anyone will ever need, apparently. We should be celebrating anything that pushes the art forward.

The demand will be induced, the pipes will be filled. Let's think about applications that can actually take advantage of new capabilities like this, instead of pooh-poohing every little bit of change.
There's nothing actually wrong with renting, if there's enough supply to stop profiteering by landlords.

What's frustrating is when (as appears to be obnoxiously common in the UK) affordability requirements for mortgages mean someone "can't afford" to buy even when their mortgage payments would be less than their current rent. While the landlord probably has an interest-only mortgage and doesn't pay tax on their mortgage payments.

Here's a thought: tax landlords based on their self-assessed property value, but make it so that the tenant has the right to buy the property for that amount.
One feature of i3 and friends that I really relied on when I was using a laptop as my main computer was the tab mode. Being able to tab between windows on half of your screen while keeping your browser open in the other half was extremely useful.

I know BeOS had tabbed windows in the 90s in a floating window manager; it makes me wonder why this idea didn't catch on in the early 2000s.

Windows has started to add tabs to individual programs incrementally as part of their rewrites of core applications in the new GUI frameworks. Notepad got tabs and so did Explorer. So they see the utility.

Why hasn't tabbing been included as a core feature of the window manager outside of these niche tiling window managers for Linux?
That is just using normal STUN/TURN via another server that one of those developers is running
Is this actually an FCC licensed station? I can't figure out the FCC search page and can't really find any other information for station WVRM.

Or is it such a low power transmitter that it doesn't need licensing?

As a kid I had a microphone from Radio Shack that would transmit on FM. It had a range of maybe 100ft or so. I would put it next to a record player speaker and operate a "radio station" in my house.
> why is that minimum size increasing when manufacturability is also increasing?

I would wager that minimum size is increasing because new developments are happening further and further away from population centers, so land is plentiful. For building in populated suburbs and cities, there will likely be municipal limits in place.
I've met a handful, certainly a sizable portion of those who ran Linux on their work machines. Notably i3 and Sway I've spotted during demos from extremely talented engineers. Anecdotes to be sure.
Most of its content is not E2E encrypted, especially channels.
This is what I thought as well before I moved to a tiling WM. But it turned out to be a non-issue for me. Just switch workplaces if you don't want to resize.
> I doubt that Firefox is better

For a long time I would build Firefox from source every morning, and I don't have the build logs anymore but I would guess it was in the range of 60 to 75 minutes. Comparing building anything on a VIA C3 is not serious, nor is using some 5400rpm disk for the same task
Yup, and there are some non- obvious ways to offload compute that were necessary back in those days.

Half the cluster for Planetside was edge servers whose entire job was to handle inbound packets and distribute them to the relevant other clients. One copy of each update was sent to the zone server, and it was then responsible for updating adjacency lists so the edge could do its job. This gave us much closer to linear rather than quadratic scaling. Even then the packet forwarding code in the edge servers didn’t do full packet decode, it just dug into the header deep enough to determine packet type, which allowed it to know how to forward.

I think we launched on ~20 servers per world, each of which was a dual core 300 MHz P3. That could handle 5000 players in a world. Including raytracing their projectiles against an 8km x 8km mesh ;)

I can’t even find processor benchmarks that far back, but I’d guess we ran the entire cluster on less CPU than most cell phones have today.
Haha I like it! Made me laugh and actually is a good idea.

Probably depends more on the air changes per hour. You'd have to compare running a filter in your room/house and the air changes it'd go through in an hour compared to your ERV/HRV. My bet is that an ERV is better if they're the same. But, it is much easier to add capacity to individual rooms with a standalone air filter than it is to change your ERV to be higher output.
> Private communications are a countermeasure against the natural tendency of governments to become tyrannical, and thus maintaining one is an act of heroism.

That's an easy enough statement in the abstract, but again it doesn't speak to the case of "Durov knowingly hid child porn consumers from law enforcement", which seems likely to be the actual crime. If you want to be the hero in your story, you need to not insert yourself into the plot.

For the price of launching one mirror, you can surely build orders of magnitude more solar panels plus batteries compared to whatever solar power the mirror adds?

Even if some fool would pay thousands to enjoy sunlight at night, what if clouds settle in the line of sight to the mirror?
Other problem is that you become an extremely big target for bad actors as you have read/write (or just even read) access to all these k8s clusters. Obviously you can mitigate against that to a fairly high degree with on prem, but for users not on that...

Cool idea though!
There currently is no tiling window manager that does all of these things, and it's driving me crazy

* native tiling (not scripted on top like gnome or kde extensions)

* Wayland-based

* ability to disable xwayland scaling

* screen sharing + window sharing

* Good multimonitor support

* doesn't crash 3 times a day
For an ISO, "Live Mode" can be one of the most useful things.
I'm not saying that they shouldn't be getting funding. I'm just saying that 60 million is an absurd amount compared to what this neovim plugin will get.
The Haskell implementation uses the same protocol as the Python implementation. The main difference is that there are some features the Python implementation has that the Haskell implementation still lacks (most notable "Dilation").

You can't cover it all in a summer, you can only think you've covered it all in a summer. In reality, you have only a cursory overview of most topics so you fail when you go to college.

I've seen this firsthand. Kids who think they're gifted and talented, and coast with B's through high school. Then college Calculus hits and they realize they don't actually know math or how to reason about it - they only know the surface level of the pieces and how to apply them in a test.
This is the part that gets me every time. It sounds pretty neat, but.. if it only works on one server - what's the point?

What about things like scaling, or even just what if your one server runs out of resources to fit more apps on?
When I touch the mouse I need to have access to UI that lets me manage my desktop with the pointer. When I am not using the mouse why clutter the screen with unnecessary UI? Same if the system detects that I am about to use my thumb to touch the screen.

I think the UI should adapt to the user inputs instead of trying to dictate to the user how to work.
On my Symbolics VLM installation (on a MacBook Pro) I can run things in one Listener, let it running its code and switch to the next listener. I can also use the GUI to create a new Listener. I can switch back to the busy Listener and force it into a break by control-suspend. I can also reshape a busy Listener window.

Something like the LispWorks IDE, with its editor-based listener tool, does the same.

There are a large number of other industries where SOP is to make life difficult for customers in hopes that they give up on asserting their legal rights. Among other ones I can think of: insurance, debt collection, customer service disputes, privacy opt-outs, warranty work, property management, labor law.

It seems like these industries are ripe for AI-based startups whose job is basically to be an asshole to corporations on behalf of customers, the same way that corporations are assholes back. If anything, at least consumers will be able to say "Have your AIs talk to my AI."

> unclear how that can ever be outlawed though

There are certain categories of information that you are legally prohibited from sharing with your competitors. How you will set prices in the future is one of them [1].

Whether competitors agree on a specific price or a system of pricing (e.g. X per square foot, or raise rent 1% every year except prime numbers when rent goes up 10%, or raise rent by the last number of the month's lottery number) is irrelevant. A landlord looking at RealPage's YieldStar price could be confident they wouldn't be undercut in the same way someone who's made a handshake deal with their competitors would.

Where this crosses into liability for RealPage is if they knew this was how their tool was being used, or worse, marketed it as such. From what I've read, that seems to be the case.

Or, the regulations are similar because they are rational given the realities of nuclear energy. If you find yourself having to resort to conspiracy theories to explain away a consensus, you're well into crank territory.

I've actually found the opposite to be true. My business has been 100% remote for most of its 10 years, buy I had an office in Sacramento and now I opened one in the SOMA neighborhood of SF.

I must say, I still work a hybrid schedule, much from home (I live in the neighborhood too). I also must day that opening a physical location in SF has been one of the best investments I have ever made in my business.

I now have people, target customers I used yo have to work hard to find and get time with, introducing themselves to ne coming by to day hello daily. Same thing with startups and VCs, there are a dozen or more VCs in walking distance to my office.

It's like being a diamond cutter in the diamond district.

I also want to note that opening an office somewhere does not necessarily tie to remote work or not. I work remotely often and it's a huge part of my quality of life, I also have an office in SF. I don't see either changing, and they are not tied.
Outside of the US, UK and Switzerland, OECD countries did not experience major bank failures in 2008 (maybe also France w/ BNP Paribas). Yet housing costs are rising in all OECD economies. The point I'm making is that housing is seen as an asset class, so it's a political priority to keep prices high. There is no such equivalent in the student loans market because outside of the US, higher education doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
If you want to talk about in house autocomplete models, Supermaven has superior autocomplete, IMO.
This has already failed. The bay area is full of empty land and buildings owned by firms and a horrific housing situation. Doesn't stop the statists from proposing yet more tax for every single problem though.
The problem with fighting claims is that it's an asymmetric game. You, the patient, must MAKE time outside of your regular life, to argue on the phone with someone who is currently AT his full time job, and who feeds his family with YOUR premiums. It's a dirty game.

Disputing charges, small claims court or simply never paying bills is the better option because the good faith channels are rigged.
My experience with dokku was pretty poor. It was quick to start with but on my VPS crashing and restarting, my apps would not relaunch. I'd have to re-run the dokku commands again. Perhaps I did something wrong but I inevitably switched to a single-node k8s setup as it ended up being more reliable

These services tend to come with a box that'll do your NAT so you just need some dumb ports. I started with a MikroTik 4 port 10G for ~$130 to be able to connect a NAS, my main PC, and my Wi-Fi since the box it came with didn't have that many high speed ports. The rest can go into the 1G ports or on a standard 1G switch.

Since then I've picked up a cheap piece of shit 8 port 10G on Aliexpress for ~$100. Works surprisingly well.

For instance, 'Longbottom' is translated quite literally, which can feel a bit silly.
Again, traditionally, renting your property on terms an owner unilaterally determines was seen as a right of owning private property. Provided you're able to find a renter who agrees to your terms, and provided your terms are legal, you were allowed to rent your property, again, forever. For instance, it was perfectly legal to rent your apartments for USD1500 per month, and at the same time, allow your kid to stay in one of the apartments for free and give a USD500 a month break to a long term renter who maybe lost his job. It was your property, so whatever terms you had with each renter was very much considered to be your business. (Again, within the bounds of legality. You can't be asking for a cut of the drugs dealt out of your apartment as a condition for instance.)

Unless I'm misunderstanding the proposal, this would change that practice. You would be told how much you could rent the property for, as well as the date you would need to sell the property. (Which, I'm guessing, would be based on the rent amount?) So a radical change from before in terms of private property rights.
Anything beyond 10 Gbps is basically the datacenter world and the switches, NICs, etc. are going to be real expensive. I wonder if their terms allow hosting on that 20Gbps plan as that's probably the only real use for it.
