Macron may insist that the arrest of the Is Pavel Durov isn’t political, but it certainly looks that way. The silence from the judicial system, particularly the lack of a statement from the public prosecutor, only fuels this perception. Without clear communication, the void is filled with suspicion, making it hard to argue that politics isn’t at play.

You are entitled to your opinion. But if you want to know my perspective: We have numerous obligations as members of society, such as wearing clothes. ID is such a fundamental thing to a government that it must be issued and used for government functions. If someone refuses to get an ID or can't manage to hang on to one, that is unfortunate but not the government's problem. If the issuance process takes too long, I would be OK with trying to fix that. I would not be entirely opposed to making ID free for people in poverty. But I still think even the poorest people can afford to keep an ID.

The only way to reliably ensure one person gets only one vote without requiring ID is to use biometrics or something. I would not be opposed to having that option either, because it would put this debate to rest. So, either provide an ID or verify your fingerprints, your choice.
I bought a couple of those cardboard desks [1] and I like the idea it's made of paper so it's more recyclable.

I read the reviews and a lot of people attach heavy monitor clamps without realizing what the desk is, and it crunches in over time. Maybe it's a lack of communication on Ikea's part as it's meant for simple table/desk stuff, not a full wood computer desk. And it kinda looks like wood. But it's super cheap and looks nice, serves a particular purpose.

I’m using PyInfra [1] these days (no affiliation, just think it’s cool).

It’s like Ansible, but you write Python directly instead of a YAML DSL. Code reuse is as simple as writing modules, importing them, and calling whatever functions you’ve written in normal Python.

I find it almost as easy as writing a shell script, but with most of the advantages of Ansible like idempotency and a post-run status output.

Show HN: Prisme – Analytics for Web Artisans
Hey HN, I'm Alexandre. For the past 10 months, I've been working on Prisme Analytics, a web analytics service designed with privacy, simplicity, and scalability in mind.

Prisme Analytics offers:

1. Quick setup: Install in just 3 minutes

2. Privacy-first approach: Designed to respect user privacy from the ground up

3. Progressive adoption: Start with basic web analytics and grow into more complex analysis as needed

4. Lightweight and self-hostable: Easy to run on your own infrastructure

5. Built-in dashboard: Get started with web analytics right away

6. Custom events and dashboards: Support for more complex analysis as your needs evolve

7. Product analytics support coming soon

8. Ability to access all individual events and sessions (via ClickHouse SQL)

What sets Prisme Analytics apart is its focus on progressive capabilities. You can start simple and expand your analytics as your project grows, all while maintaining a strong commitment to user privacy. With custom events and dashboards (thanks to Grafana), there is no limit to how you can collect, query and visualize data.

I'd love to get feedback from the HN community on the concept, features, and approach. You can check it out here: https://www.prismeanalytics.com/

It's currently in beta and completely free during the beta period.

Looking forward to your thoughts and happy to answer any questions!

TLV encodings are always redundant and take more space than non-TLV encodings. Therefore they are a pessimization. As well, definite-length TLV encodings require two passes to encode the data (one to compute the length of the data to be encoded, and one to encode it), thus they are a) slower than non-TLV binary encodings, b) not on-line for encoding.

All I’m saying is that the degree is unique. By and large, home prices have went up in other parts of the country but not by 10x like implied by the author. Once you strip away the preference piece (ie, measure by $/sqft rather than absolute values) the effect is still there but much less pronounced.

> Can the EU for some reason not enforce its privacy laws on Uber if Uber keeps its data somewhere else?

Yes. Even assuming these laws still work if data is in another jurisdiction (prob. not), they become unenforceable. If someone sells your data in, say, Somalia, how could EU gather evidence and start a legal process?

Where I am gas cars tend to both cost more upfront then EVs, have higher taxes, higher maintenance costs and be worse quality wise.

> You only really control things on your soil. Physical location / possession matters for control.

This feels like an outdated worldview that no longer really applies to data. Data can be exfiltrated from the EU in milliseconds and there's nothing that the EU can physically do about it short of setting up a great firewall a la China.

The only thing they can do about it to retain sovereignty is to tell companies they're not allowed to exfiltrate data. But if they can do that successfully, they can also just tell the companies what they're allowed to do with the data wherever it is in the world.

Any discussion of 'social recession' has to include something about the dwindling amount of free time an individual has to actually do things unrelated to basic survival (work, school, groceries, cooking, transportation time).

That's just scratching the surface. After all that, there's the decline and disappearance of third places, the hollow mirage of dating apps and the exorbitant cost of social activities (gyms, bowling, camping, even going for a coffee/drink etc.) which are now marketed as "lifestyle activities" with the corresponding markup.

The main benefit of using a 100% European cloud is to be 100% GDPR compliant.
No matter how you slice it and how lawyers/companies try to wiggle around it, it's not possible to host data with a US company and be GDPR compliant, because of US laws.

Customers do ask about it, and it's always iffy to have to justify your GDPR compliance when using US cloud companies.
> Can the EU for some reason not enforce its privacy laws on Uber if Uber keeps its data somewhere else?

Maybe not, especially if they are separate corporate entities. Uber EU may choose to pay for operation of data storage by Uber US. Uber US is not under the same privacy restrictions and sells the data for profit, then what? Who sues who and for what?

This is also partly about governments - the US in particular is known for compelling access to servers that are on its soil and doing large-scale spying (not that EU powers don’t do the same, but bear with me). Companies operating in the US may not be legally able to guarantee data privacy. So having the data not enter US jurisdiction in the first place is considered safer.

Personally, I'll judge how worried they are about money by how much the CEO's pay changes. Constantly acting like they're about to be on the rocks when their CEO is taking home almost $7m in compensation per year is laughable, especially considering they made less than $1m for much of Mozilla's lifetime, and their raise to $2m made headlines not that many years ago.

Sorry, you are not really making a better case for your argument. The budget of the EU largely comes from other places. Fines like these don't even register on there meaningfully. That alone should tell you enough.
I suspect we have a similar take.

Regarding web dev: I do not use Rust for this. This is not due to anything inherent in the language: It's due to the current ecosystem. I'm optimistic this will change.

A: There's nothing on the level of Django or Rails (I'm watching Loco though); there are many Flask-analogs. If I'm making a website, I want built-in automatic migrations, templates, auth, security, admin, email etc.

B: The web ecosystem ha gone mostly into Async, which is not my cup of tea.

Overall, rust if my favorite language in many domains for holistic reasons: Top-tier built-in tools, no speed limits, easy to make distributable programs, capable of running on embedded, predictable rules about mutability, nice structs and enums etc.
Student debt didn't cause the financial crisis of '08, opaque securitization of home mortgages did. That created a domino effect of brokers handing out variable-rate loans to people who didn't understand the terms. They didn't care about the deliquency rate because they could sell that mortgage to another party and make it their problem. The whole thing was a ticking time bomb.

None of that applies to student loans because those aren't collateralized with a real asset the way home loans are.

Show HN: I integrated AI within the Instagram app to give me replies for chats
Hey HN!

I built this Android app to integrate AI into Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. It now gives reply suggestions and message rewrite suggestions to conversations within the chat bar. It can do quick replies, witty comebacks, and even flirty lines! It has 10 different writing styles and works on both direct and group chats. Currently supports 50+ languages.

It works by reading the content on the screen via the accessibility service and uses the keyboard area to display the messages.

Currently gauging interest to find the right target audience and what people would primarily use this for, and seeking feedback to decide on adding support for more apps :)

You can see it in action here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjL1UKV25dM

It's free to try (link in title). Let me know what you think, here to answer any questions :)

P.S. I built this app because I got fired from my job and decided to build something instead of having an existential crisis.
This looks like something microG would handle (a free software reimplementation of Google Play Services, including push notifications and location services). I see GrapheneOS is unwilling to support it.
> certain governments have laws in place that allows them access to any data in their territory.

This explanation makes sense, but assuming "certain governments" includes the US then the remedy isn't stronger laws in the US, it's weaker laws—it means that the US was the first to break the borderless internet and it needs to rewrite its laws to be border-agnostic.
I am sure that such a bland and bureaucratic statement on a closed platform that is itself targeted by the EU will restore the confidence of the people who have strayed from the approved narratives.
From the previous thread:

> French lawyer here, it's difficult to know anything as of now given that's all the information is covered by secrecy as long as he's in preliminary custody.

> Neither him nor his lawyers have access to the procedure yet.

> This will last for 48 hours from his arrest - it can be 96 hours if they decide his suspected crimes are about drugs or prostitution, and even 144 hours if it's about terrorism.

> So we'll probably need to wait for a few days before understanding what this is really about.

Running scams is a very profitable business; compliance with DKIM, DMARC, SPF, etc. anti-spam standards only adds some minimal overhead. Scammers checking and tuning their messages to penetrate various anti-spam defenses probably costs more...but I'm sure there are AAS versions of that, these days. So that's just another "what's the RoI?" decision.

Vs. what does GMail's RoI look like, if they spend a few $million more on spam/scam filters? Even for the paid GMail accounts, how many customer decision makers actually care?
I read and loved the P&V Anna Karenina, so as a gift my Mom got me War and Peace. She very consciously bought me the Maude translation, which is how I first learned how contentious translations can be.

Then I recommended Anna Karenina to a friend and I started going over the pros and cons of the various translations when he stopped me and reminded me that Russian is his first language. That's when it clicked for me. It's like people who obsesses over which cut of a movie is the best, except in this case the "true" author's vision is available and many people can access it, just not them. I understand why people fixate on finding the "best" translation.
I think the key to keeping a site/app good for as long as possible is to avoid an IPO... The need for dramatic year-over-year profit increase ruins the very fabric of innovation. Reddit also got rid of the very key features to it's initial success like displaying the number of upvotes and downvotes, and a lot of other key things like not collapsing comments, that kept it fair and transparent...

Almost every app now degrades quickly after startup capital fades, maybe we should just all quit social apps the minute they show signs of degrading, because right now most of the content, ads, and people on these social apps are now just as uninteractive, repetitive, mundane, and unrewarding as watching TV.

Sometimes I get a random thought on a Saturday and send an email so I don’t forget. I have people on my team who view that as a “drop everything, cancel the wedding, pull the car over” level emergency. The issue is they ALL do this to themselves. They put work email on their phones, they have notifications enabled. Nobody asked them to do this, nobody asked them to read email all weekend. Even if I tell them “please ignore all weekend email”, it’s like they physically cannot do it. It’s almost an addiction.

I think we're getting hung up on the concept of dismissing. To question skeptically, to ask if there is evidence or useful context, to seek to learn more is different than to dismiss.

The 5 Step Design Process emphasizes making requirements "less dumb," deleting unnecessary parts or processes, simplifying and optimizing design, accelerating cycle time, and automating only when necessary.

Musk suggests that if you're not adding requirements back at least 10%-15% of the time, you're not deleting enough initially. The percentage is an estimate initially based on experience, and now for several years based on estimates from manufacturing practice.
I don't think anyone from Europe would be against fining EU companies operating in the US that are violating US laws.
