While I didn't know the details of ones other than 4, the one really useful one missing would be using some SHA256 data with a counter, not unlike PBKDF2. It could be a privacy preserving derived identifier, where you you could loosely prove a given UUID had been derived from a given seed.
The city has been making changes to the bus system recently. They are implementing the next gen bus plan with a goal of having 80% of the ridership get 10 min or better frequency. Of course that might not include some distant san gabriel valley stop if its seldom used compared to somewhere pretty heavily trafficked with high ridership busses like in east hollywood. Not sure of your commute if you were using foothill transit busses, but the next gen plan is for la metro busses at least.
The more the French authorities delay in releasing official information about Durov's arrest, the worse it looks for them.

I mean the West has always accused the East of employing similar tactics wrt arresting journalists/freedom fighters etc, how do we not see the irony here...
Also the same with Skype "encryption". The data is "encrypted", but you receive the private key from the server upon sign-on... So, just need to change that password temporarily.

Meta being bad at following their policies is a different problem than a platform whose policies say they won’t stop abuse. You can argue which problem is worse, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to say that the world should treat the two problems the same.
The priority for regulators are money laundering, sanctions evasion, terrorism, CSAM, trafficking etc.

Serious crimes where people's lives are at stake.

Scams in general are towards the bottom on everyone's priority list.
Open Telekom Cloud is a whitelabeled AWS, so they are still doing this, but with other technologies.
Why would you not ask for legal advice on potential legal issues when registering users from countries you do not operate in? That is the only way you can understand the definitions of what is and is not legal in those countries.
They have been building out more bus lanes and increasing their priority where they can. What makes it a little tricky is a bus will never just get straight priority/preemption because they cross other bus lines going a perpendicular direction all the time, and these will naturally conflict.

I’ve been paying for Kagi search engine (a thing I never thought I’d pay for) for many months and it has a lot of what you’re asking for.
Stealing someone's phone number wouldn't give you any Signal data, as all the messages have perfect forward secrecy, though, right? And all contacts would see an alert that your security number had changed. Not completely foolproof, and I would like Signal to use something other than phone numbers for accounts, but it's pretty good.
The defendant in question is a French citizen, being arrested in France, so if I were similarly situated I would expect to follow French law at a minimum.

My answer wasn't intended to be dismissive, truly, the answer will be specific to ones legal situation and the jurisdictions they plan to operate in and are best answered specifically by competent counsel in those jurisdictions after considering ones specific facts. Asking if ones should comply with laws "anywhere in the world" is not a useful question by itself.

" There is, however, a mountain of cash waiting for those that monetize open source "

Isn't this the point? If you release software that runs your service as open-source, you want to prevent Amazon coming along and making their own cloud service based on your code.

I am amazed at the low quality comments here. Encryption really doesn’t matter as much as the trust of the app here. Any malicious app author can 100% secure encrypt everything in wire and yet leak 100% of your data to some state actor. Anything you type into the chat box is only encrypted by the app after you type and probably storing it in the clear in some local SQLite db. It gives them a whole bunch of options to mess with that plain text data. Even if the app source code is published as you don’t know if they backdoored it before they submitted to App Store.

If it's a standardized sequence, then that's no different than just 0, 1, 2, 3 but with different names. If you just want a non-sequential but deterministic sequence, then that's every random number generator that accepts a seed value, and being anymore standardized than that makes zero sense.
E-Bikes and escooters are even more convenient. Sustained speed, easy acceleration, wind and hills have almost no impact, not as sweaty.

The only way la pulls this off is with a gigantic conversion of streets to zero cars and e-bikes only.

The other aspect that speeds up bike Transit in cities is that you can park far closer, typically and far more quickly than with a car.

The sad fact is that in a city if you bike it isn't "if" you get hit by a car it's when.

The only way to practically reduce that likelihood are totally separate dedicated pathways for bikes.

I wonder if elevated lanes for biking is feasible, since you simply don't have to hold as much weight. Do we really need concrete and steel? Can we do it with Kevlar?

In Minneapolis there are two major rail to bike path conversions and they boost the bike ability of the city by an order of magnitude over bike lanes adjacent to car lanes.

The paths by the Mississippi River are equally effective.

Cities simply don't have the willpower for such projects if rail or other park systems don't provide most of the work.

I'm hopeful that the sodium ion battery revolution might result in near zero cost Urban personal transportation within large city limits, car Transit limited to fixed entry points.

At some point I predict that a small e-scooter for a single person with a 50 mile range will cost under $50. That will probably require sodium sulfur technologies and maybe some solid state technologies.

That scooter will be collapsible and easily carried to an inside point to be recharged.
Crypto is really hard. You have to trust that whoever implemented the crypto is smart and diligent, and you have to trust that whoever operates the crypto is smart and diligent, and you have to trust both of those parties.

Centralization means that it's very easy to trust that whoever implements and operates the crypto is smart. Do I trust them? I don't know. I trust myself, but I don't think I am independently capable of operating or implementing crypto - if I want to make assertions like "this is end-to-end-encrypted" and ensure those assertions remain true, I will need a several million dollar a year budget, at a minimum. "Decentralized" means you've got tons of endpoints that need securing, and they can share crypto implementations, but the operations are duplicated. Which means it's more expensive, and you're trusting more operators, especially if you want resiliency.

Yes, something like Signal or Whatsapp means you've got a single point of failure, but something like Matrix, you've got many points of failure and depending on how it's configured every point of failure can allow a different party to break the confidentiality of the system.

Decentralization is great for resiliency but it actively works against reliable and confidential message delivery.
> Many people on HN silently downvote anything that has to do with crypto and decentralization.

I primarily downvote them because I haven't seen anything come out of that space that seems like it's remotely capable of actually achieving decentralization (for which I also see a dire need in today's structure of the Internet and the applications running on it).

95% of the time, these things are built as a Potemkin village of technical decentralization backed up by complete administrative centralization, with the path to actual decentralization "very high on our public roadmap available here, we promise!!!"
I wish there's a standard for short UUID, like `73WakrfVbNJBaAmhQtEeDv` or `bK7nP9xM`. I mean, it's not UUID cause it can be duplicated somewhere, I just want an ID standart combination of random and short enough to remember.

Precisely. So the constant need for people to gatekeep in here and chastise other people for having a negative view of the French government's actions is, to me, absurd.

Yes. That's the assertion based upon the balance of history and probability and the complete disconnect between these actions and actual law enforcement outcomes.

That doesn't mean we can't have a discussion about it.
Actually Lidl (or the mother company Schwarz Group to be more precise) tried to implement SAP and could not get it to work. So after burning more than 500 Mio. Euro they oficially quit with SAP in 2018 and decided to invest a lot in their own systems, both infrastructure and software. So in 2021 they bought XM Cyber, a cloud security specialist company from Israel and guess who is a big client of this company that is now owned by the Schwarz Group: SAP
Interesting, but to me that raises the next question - even if the city itself did not grow, how about the surrounding communities? I think most of the time traffic still increased significantly, because of much more traffic across the (unchanged) city borders into the surrounding communities.

It's called "Metropol-Region Hamburg" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolregion_Hamburg), it's not just the city itself.
I remember a night some moons ago the update of our prod system hosted by OEDIV was scheduled.

Like Schrems sentences you can't get that from USA companies, legally, but you can't get technically for ANY third party, because you are not on their servers, and no one else is there to control them.

How can you verify what any company state in a GDPR nightmare letter response? I've sent one time ago where a bank asking me to drop an RSA physical OTP for an Android app, that alone violate PSD2 (since the app it's not only a soft-token but also allow to operate on the same device, the reason why banking piracy was a thing again and more then ever), they respond accordingly to the law, but I can only choose to trust or not their response, I can't prove anything and I have nothing tangible to push some public inquiry on them.

Oh, you might feel protected if you upload ONLY encrypted contents, at least feel protected for an unknown amount of time, potentially very long but potentially not enough long.

So no, you can choose to trust someone else, but it's a choice that demand trust, you can't verify, so it's a vulnerability.
How much of that is in sales to Schwarz group + SAP only?
Taxis could solve last mile problems fairly efficiently. Or maybe tuktuks, but there is a role for them, not the way they are used now though. They also make it easier to live without a car, so you use mass transit most of the time and have a flex to use personal transport when needed. As opposed to the sunk cost of a private car with parking.

In China in 1999, I would take a tuktuk to the subway stop and then often from the subway stop on the other side of my trip. Later on when I lived there from 2007, I didn’t feel like I needed a car since we had subways and taxis, why bother?
Apple is renowned for their seamless interoperation between their devices, yes, but there is also another angle - Apple always searches for the largest common denominator (amongst what ordinary people do) and refines that experience. Everyone needs to be able to share a photo, record a video, lookup a song, etc. The addressable market for iphone users that operate industrial equipment is minuscule. They wouldn't bother.
Sadly, this is not in Debian (but it is in Arch repositories).
I use it for friends, family and partner, videocalls and normal chat.

Sure, it may not be on the same level as Signal when it comes to security but it simply is leagues above others in terms of usability, stability and bells&whistles. It's like comparing a Ford Zephyr with a Volvo EX30.

I know jack squat about programming. I could at one point do “hello world” in Python, if I recall correctly. Thanks to ChatGPT I now have scripts to make my life easier in a bunch of ways and a growing high-level understanding of how they work. I can’t program, an I won’t claim to. But I can be useful. Thanks to LLMs. (And before the catastrophists arrive: I know enough to be wary of the risks of running scripts I don’t understand, which is why I make a point of understanding how they function before I proceed)
Your post seems contradictory in that you could plug numbers into formulas and get answers. Isn’t that a fundamental skill? Is there an implied value in understanding the formula and how to apply it via math to obtain a correct answer?

I am building a TCG card management app as a way to keep my machine learning skills sharp and to learn iOS development.

Pretty standard CRUD flows + plenty of opportunity to get comfy with iterating and deploying software on iOS.

This app will basically be the playground for me to work on:
- Frontend / UX
- Computer vision (scan in cards w/ Camera)
- recommender systems (what cards are good suggestions to add to this deck?)
- Clustering (what decks are similar to this deck?)

Websites like TappedOut and Archidekt are great products, but as someone who plays casually and doesn't do much to keep up with releases I find assembling fun Commander decks from singles to be quite a time investment, and I'd like to see if I can focus in on that UX specifically for myself.
I've got an M2 iPad Pro, running 16.3.1 and jailbroken with UTM HV. It's very fast, about 96% of the native speed, however you can only use up to 5 and a bit gigabytes of ram before getting terminated. The linux experience isn't too great either. It tends to be quite buggy and crashes a lot, I've tested Ubuntu 24.04 and Fedora 40. Overall, it's cool but too buggy for me to use daily.
Lol, this won't age well.

BTW what's the aider vs cursor opinion?
>> People with degrees regardless of degree do tend to make more money in the long run.

In aggregate. But that's wildly skewed by people who end up with higher degrees. If you look at bachelors, for every 2 people with a degree who make $20/hr bartending or selling used cars, there may be one person with no degree earning $150/hr coding or plumbing or fixing machines.
> Mere responding is evidently not enough, you need to cooperate.

Only if the request is coming from a country with a lot of power to effect its judgments internationally, or from a country you plan to personally visit. Whether or not you agree with it, ignoring legal requests from the US, China, and the EU (and debatably some other countries), isn't really an option in this day and age.
Never claimed it personally affected me. You can think it does because that’s convenient and fits your narrative but we both know you don’t know.

Comments like these are lazy, destructive and downright judgmental. They only further explain why we can’t get along, take care friend.
Because developers don't always consider the security aspect. Not saying this is what he's doing but could also just be due to how complex good software can be to write.

Their is a reason cybersecurity or UI/UX or product design isn't always left to the developer. The coder write code that fits certain criteria they are given, then someone down the line might QA check it, fuzz inputs or security review the code. How well this is done depends on the product,market, and environment.
He means that the messages are only encrypted during transport, like with HTTPS.

Your browser sends a clear message over an encrypted pipe, and the server on the other side, sees this clear message.
They might if there was a market for it. But who wants to pay a premium to be free of US influence? America hasn’t gone full-on Gilead yet.
Telegram is not Signal, it is a waaay better Discord
> we should probably avoid programming by hope

I use Cursor at work, which is basically VSCode + LLM for code generation. It's a guess and check, basically. Plenty of people look up StackOverflow answers to their problem, then verify that the answer does what they want. (Some people don't verify but those people are probably not good programmers I guess.) Well, sometimes I get the LLM to complete something, then verify the code is completed is what I would have written (and correct it if not). This saves time/typing for me in the long run even if I have to correct it at times. And I don't see anything wrong with this. I'm not programming by hope, I'm just saving time.
Lidl got SAP's award for best customer a few years before admitting they have wasted half a billion on SAP implementation.

Intriguing (and surprising to me that they offer E2EE at all), but there is seemingly no Linux build. I can't seem to find source code either (Telegram Desktop's is released under the GPL).
Hannover and Hamburg population is roughly the same now than in the 50's and 60's. Or even less depending on the year you pick.
Not totally sure what you're looking for, but what I did when I made a package for arena allocators in Julia, I made the arena task-local rather than global.

That means that if you spawn a concurrent task and then request the arena to allocate something to, you'll be writing to a completely separate chunk of memory than the memory used by the arena in the parent task.

Users can still cause race conditions by explicitly passing an existing arena across task boundaries, but if they use the function to fetch the currently-active task-local allocator, it's naturally threadsafe without any slow locks or atomics required.

that gives a better explanation on why telegram is safer in real world settings than whastapp or other popular messengers: https://x.com/Pinboard/status/1474096410383421452
Depends. If you want to live a good life you stay in the EU. If you have the will and ability to do great things professionally (not many do) then in most industries you need to move to the US to do it. There’s just not enough high-risk capital here for exciting projects to be done. I suspect comes from market size. Financiers won’t take high risk without high reward, and the reward is not here.
whoops yeah wrong article. was trying to comment on this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41344176
It indirectly has a lot to do with encryption, in that if Telegram was actually encrypted, they'd probably have no grounds on holding him in the first place.

(At least at the moment, in most countries) it's not illegal to not ship a backdoor in your end-to-end-encrypted software upon government request, but in most it is illegal to not share data you're holding in a form accessible to you when you receive a warrant for it.
Free WIFI tragically will fall into the 'tragedy of the commons'.

> A cage of 5 mice costs ~$1k upfront and ~$5k/yr recurring
You can get mice a lot cheaper than that, I'm not sure what kind of mice he's referring to but the prices depend on the vendor and mouse type.

Where I work it's about $2 a day to house a cage of 5 mice. It's about $30 a mouse if you get C57BL/6NJ's from Jackson: https://www.jax.org/strain/005304

So more like $150 for 5 mice and $800 to house for a year.

ULID's presentation format is probably better for humans, though. You can double-click-to-highlight a ULID; the standard UUID representation doesn't like this.

(You can use ULID's presentational tools with UUIDv7, though.)
I think it’s helpful because, as the author says, Telegram put effort into making you think it’s secure and Signal isn’t. As someone who's not close to this, it’s handy to have regular reminders.
Hub and spoke has disadvantages. A perfectly efficient transit system has two-way flow all day long: otherwise parts of the system are being overused or underused.

NeXT boxes used magneto-optical disks, which usually meant a laser was used to heat the magnetic material during the write process, and at lower intensity to read data optically. The optics in a floptical drive are just part of the head alignment servo mechanism, so it was probably much easier to make them cheap and backwards-compatible with mainstream floppies.
