I'd rather live in a culturally diverse world that either learns to get along or perishes than one that defeated racism and prejudice through creating a singular global culture and race.
i will give my 2 cents.

i use mailinabox and it works good enough for me. I can generate aliases at any limit and without any burden.
Now, what you are describing is the same in mailinabox. the alias is merely a "receiving" alias. you cannot send from that.

what i found out was, how i can bypass this is by deleting the alias, then creating a new user with that email. a new email inbox is created. then you send that email whatever you want to send.

then you can delete the user and create alias once again and you are back to square one.

i know, its tedious process but it works for me. since apple probably wont let you create accounts with those disposable emails, then they should allow sending from aliases.
Unfortunately Ecuador has entered a rough spot through a combination of corruption and bad luck.
I do object to saying Ecuador is one of the safer south american countries.
The southern cone enjoys european like social and economuc conditions.

Colombia is now a pretty safe and reliable country for example. Unfortunately that is one of the factors that pushed Ecuador in a bad spot.
As someone said before it became the weakest link.

In any case following the strategies of my south american compatriots is hardly a good idea on a global scale. It creates a vicious cycle of paranoia and inequality which leads to even more problems
As someone who is good at technical interviews, I am really confused by the assertion that they are checking if you have memorized the solution. In my experience, the problems have been either A) easy and I’ve never seen them before, where the goal is genuinely to solve it on the spot (“write a function to validate what a sequence of moves is a legal tic-tac-toe game”), or B) impossible to solve on the spot but I have the answer memorized because I’ve solved the problem many times in the past as part of the experience listed on my resume (“Dump a valid PyTorch training script for a simple MLP from your memory without consulting documentation” “Here is an obscure CMAKE error, explain what discontinuation caused it”)

How common in practice are these questions like “find the median of a list of sorted lists” that are both too obscure to get memorized in the course of day to day work, yet common enough that you could, if you wanted to waste time, memorize the solutions to all of them?
Or a passage from the holy Bible.

The wisdom of the wise men will perish.
Isaiah 29:14

For it is written: "I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject."
1. Corinthians 1:19

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it is written: "He catches the wise in their own cunning."
1. Corinthians 3:19

The wise have been put to shame. They have become terrified and will be caught. Look! They have rejected the word of Jehovah, And what wisdom do they have?
Jeremiah 8:9
I feel that people who study animal intelligence started with the dictum "don't assume similarity to humans" and immediately interpreted it as "assume dissimilarity to humans".

Scala is known for being multi-paradigm and quite complex, with competing factions promoting different Best Ways of Doing Things. Gleam is designed to be small and simple with a single clear path for getting things done. Apart from that, Gleam leans heavily on Erlang's actor model, which IMO is one of the greatest successes of language design to date.

it's always the terrorists and the children. It turns off the logical, rational thought centers in the brain, and convinces ordinarily rational people to accept these poorly thoughtout security measures.

As a civid duty, you must fight against measures like these that erode security and privacy. It sucks, because the reward is "nothing", and you must forever maintain vigilence against constant reproposals.
Do you really have to associate with the zealots though? I for one have been an Elixir and Rust advocate for a while but always made it 100% clear, in every discussion, that there are right tools for the job and that sometimes you just need to whip out a quick Python script and be done with the task at hand, for example.

This has mostly worked well for me, and paradoxically only HN is the place where even trying to defend Rust on its actual technical (as in: objective) merits still gets you labeled as a "Rust loonie" or "a zealot" or "Rust evangelist strike force". Even Reddit, that I view as an absolute cesspool, and had accounts banned for asking a question clearly adhering to the template given in the subreddit, has more nuanced discussions on Rust.

I find that quite fascinating, and even though my HN account is fairly non-recent, I still don't associate with the apparently very bone-headed people who jump like hit by a power line when Rust is mentioned.
How would a law stop criminals from using encrypted applications without sharing private keys with gov? Shootings, pedophiles, drugs, terror etc should definetly be higher on the scale than hosting an illegal application.

In addition to this, how do they expect to implement this for non-EU companies? The DNS blockades that are already going on today are less than efficient.
You can get grumpy about it, sure. Or you can just accept that any use of "designed to" in respect to humans can be replaced with "adapted for" without loss of meaning.

Most people who say "designed" here aren't ignorant: they don't care about the distinction and say what's idiomatic.

Currently they are somewhat hidden. When GDPR came out in force, I tried removing my name, phone number and address from all kinds of public places, and I also found some local company that collects personal and behavioral information on people and provides it to other institutions to asses whether they want to do business with you or not. (banks, etc.)

They gave me the results of their algorithm for me personally, but refused to describe the algorithm. Results were kinda non-sense, but when I wanted them deleted, they told me that I may have trouble in the future with their clients, due to lack of information on me in their systems. Probably a scare tactic, but still annoying and concerning.
depends on how you define it. in my book a SCS requires that what impacts the score is disconnected from what is impacted by it. the Punkte are just impacting your driver's license. the Schufa score can lower your chances to get an apartment just because you had problems with a cellphone provider.
The chat you are referring to aren't encrypted, I don't see how breaking end to end encryption would affect the chat you're talking about. That's a problem that has to do with telegram governance. In telegram, group chats are not encrypted. 1:1 chats are also not encrypted if you don't start a secret chat before

Now tell me, if law enforcement can just get into those group since they're not encrypted, why are not they doing that? What do they need to break encryption for?
Of course it is.

Park it till the outrage dies down then try again is standard MO for passing shady acts.

And if this round fails they'll be back in 3 months.
This is not a good argument as to why we should break encryption.

Rather, it's an argument that law enforcement should start engaging with those groups on telegram directly, i.e. setting up stings etc and just actually go and catch them. Do some good old police work.

If you're able to find them on telegram, clearly law enforcement are capable too, if they're resourced and willing. Encryption isn't the problem here.
Yeah normal here in the UK as well. I was at a party last year and someone just ordered coke off WhatsApp. This turned into a mess because they wanted to pay the "menu price" as advertised and two guys with a shooter turned up and took £500 off them instead of £200.

So we have extortion, illegal drug dealing and illegal guns in one fine evening.

ChatControl is not the solution however. Reporting it to the police didn't do a damn thing either though so I don't know!
> he uses the votes from Hungarians outside Hungary

That is pretty standard for EU voting; as long as you are citizen, you can vote, usually by mail or by visiting your embassy.

Otherwise, I happen to agree with you -- why you should vote, if you don't feel the impact of your vote?

> the people in cities are not voting for him

That's the common occurrence, people in cities are easier to influence due to density; US also has the Rural-Urban divide.

Yes, this is what the (modern|progressive|educated|whatever) tell to themselves to fell on high horse in their bubble.
Not sure if relational was the optimal choice. A graph db like Neo4j might be more effective.

I'm not here to claim that Orban is anywhere near the level of a "real" dictator in terms of squashing dissent. But consider that one way Orban makes sure to maintain this - indeed significant - majority is to try to silence/discredit voices that go against his narrative. In fact, his party is spending millions of dollars in public funds to finance a continuous stream of propaganda on many channels. On top of this, there absolutely have been a few cases where more sinister tools like surveillance etc. were employed against independent news sources for example. Their newest invention "Szuverenitásvédelmi Hivatal" (= Sovereignty Protection Bureau, idk what the official English name is) is only the latest way to at least try to scare nonprofits/NGOs/news outlets that are in some way opposed to his goals.
FWIW the pervious Polish government modeled its state capture after Hungary quite openly. They quite miraculously lost the elections after a major mobilization (historic attendance of over 74%), and have now been stripped of funding due to illegally using state funds during their campaign in 2023. This was possible in Poland because, unlike Hungary, Poland still had free (non-state) mainstream media, and not for the lack of trying.
Sure, but will it this time include all politicians, state officials and others who are "special". If no, then GTFO. It's a good litmus test to check the actual goal instead of the terrorism/save the children/drugs excuses.
ME/CFS cases about doubled after covid, and is not even known to be a thing by a lot of doctors. So the symptoms are easily brushed off as "get your shit together" or misdiagnosed as depression.

Also your anecdote aligns with the fact that it's more women than men who get it.
Yeah. A slippery slope. If you force major apps to comply, smaller apps will pop up.

Not sure if you can win this whack a mole.
For me, they can GTFO in any case. Some EU law won't make "special" people comply with it or be punished for not doing so.
Apple are pretty clear this is for one way communication. It’s not an email replacement, it’s a privacy tool. There is always a trade off when it comes to privacy, and in this case it is that you can’t send email.

There are plenty of great tools out there which allow you to create multiple addresses with the ability to send. Maybe you should consider the trade offs that are acceptable to your specific use case and invest/use/setup/buy into them? You could buy a random domain and set up a catch all address if you want to keep it simple.

Before Relay was a thing I wanted to learn about SMTP and make a service which could do something very similar to what Relay ended up being but for mobile. I’m still running it ~4 years later (https://inboxesapp.com) and it’s a great learning experience. If you don’t have what you want - build it!

Also let it be known that everybody is pissed at Hungary at the moment (I mean, ok, this is kinda constant, but even more now)

Same caveats apply here: this has to go through Parliament, a lot of people is against it, then this is against EU fundamental law, etc

Sadly I have seen this all too often. A lot of seemingly "anti-fascist" activism is just a saviour complex.

Consider a great evil, claim to be against that great evil and become the greatest hero in the process. The problem is that we are running of Nazis, so the bar for someone being called a Nazi or fascist keeps dropping, because of the great demand by saviours.

> In Sweden, there are chat groups where hits on people are and have been ordered and executed.

Funny that they can pinpoint and read the messages of those groups already without ChatControl.

Also, perhaps issues around the demographic in question should perhaps be addressed with other measures. I think they would continue if the entire Internet were shut down.
interesting. Not specifically relevant to this regex implementations but I would say that regexes are one of those things that I never could really get into my head. I tried for many years but can't memorize the pattern needed, and can't write anything on my own but the most simplex regexes. I used to envy people that could do that. It's mostly about how your own memory work, I guess. Luckily recently I don't have to remember any of this anymore thanks to llms.

That would be even worse. The government only really wants to observe the messages of their political opponents, nobody else. Then they the can blackmail them as they want. As the American do in their corrupt surveillance state.

> Why should drug cartels have free and EASY access to such wonderful encrypted sales platform?

Drug cartels will continue to have easy access to such platforms, as will anyone willing to do business with them, since such cartels and their business partners do not care about following the law. The same is true for child pornographers, hitmen, and so on. The technology exists and does not inherently depend on any middleman amenable to EU authority. No EU legislation can reverse that. All this might do is force them to switch to a different chat provider that will ignore EU law, or to run one themselves.

The true effect of any legislation that purports to circumvent end-to-end encryption to address the concerns you list will primarily be reducing the privacy of law-abiding people, including those who really need it: a French journalist reporting on corruption in a public contract bidding process, a Hungarian dissident organizing opposition to Fidesz's authoritarianism, or even someone seeking help to flee from the oversight of an abusive spouse with personal connections to EU member state surveillance institutions.

Not a useful way to catch up with tech - whether or not a better way exists, this law is literally worse than doing nothing.
I wonder how much will be open source, and how much is special sauce.

Running it on my home-server via pip (no containers for me, thanks) I do not try the "kind-of-firmware approach, just different zfs volumes, with auto-snapshots and backups for bin (python venv), data and config. Mostly I have had issues upgrading HA but still even with my config at hand, written in org-mode and tangle-ed anyway to be less of a hell and to embed docs/references in the YAML hell, the main issue came from integrations only configurable from the WebUI. In most case it's just a matter of remove the configured part from the running config, add the integration from the WebUI, add back the config, reload etc. But it's still a PAINFUL process. Less hard than configuring via NixOS, but still hard.

Just as an example (no ads) https://kfx.fr/posts/2024-02-21-shellyfloodandha/ how is possible to demand such amount of line to get a damn flood notification on mobile?

As you rightly say HA works well enough and have less issues than OpenHAB, but as long as something less yaml-illish and webui-tied appear I'll switch instantaneously. My setup have probably far less devices than you, bus some have a gazillion of sensors (i.e. my main battery inverter a Victron MultiPlus with ECV charging station have at least 1248 lines of yaml, NOT counting the template code for many sensors usages) while it could be a simple python data structure of 1/5 of the size. My main usage is just monitoring and a bit of automation to maximize self-consumption like piloting hot water heater, running A/C etc, videosurveillance and co are managed separately.
If it isn't conscious site by site, you're not volunteering your payment data to the site: you're giving it to a middle man.

Then, the middle man who sets this up goes all Apple and says they rule the customer experience, they bring all the value, and they're entitled to eat 30% of everything because reasons.

Then, they either become a huge monopoly, like Apple, for as long as they can keep consumers and producers captive, or for some reason (regulation, actual competition) some other huge business gets into it and balkanizes it (like Netflix, which was a “good” middleman for consumers, until 10 other 800lb gorillas got in there, and now it's worse than à la carte cable).
I'm even lazier, 1.6 might be hard to do without a Calc, I just grab 50% of the original number, 10%, and then sum them to the original
> Isn't it time to update the law and catch up with tech?

In case of Telegram groups you mention, local authorities can use existing laws regulating public social networks (Telegram really works similar to Facebook in these use cases, these telegram groups are neither private nor end to end encrypted). The fact that Telegram doesn't cooperate is not because of lack of regulation, but lack of leverage against it (which seems to be one of the reasons why authorities in France detained Telegram CEO recently).
> Its actually the center of the button

Upvoted for putting in the effort, and because you make a correct point.

But the Unicode button is perceptually off center, because ASCII is a smaller word, and there's no visible boundary between the buttons. This comes up a lot in iconography, the classic example is a play triangle (like the media control) in a circle. Placing the triangle in the geometric center won't look centered, it needs to be a tiny bit to the right of that to account for the shape.

No separation between the buttons means you can't see the bounds which the words are centered in, so it looks off.

The 8 and 10 have the same problem, for the same reason. A visible background-gray line between the buttons would solve this problem, it should be 'squircled' to make it I-shaped and match the outer edges.

This illustrates the issue that I see with STAR-style questioning - the method encourages detail-rich storytelling about situations that don’t happen very often, or are simply a mundane part of work life.

“Tell me about a time when you challenged a fairness or ethical issue.” How many times is something like this expected to come up in a person’s career? And how often will the “issue” - outside of management roles - be of such consequence that you’ll remember all the details? And how often will the true answer be nothing more than “someone asked me to do X. I expressed discomfort over it to my manager while we were getting lunch. X did/didn’t happen”. But that answer, I doubt, will make a very strong impression.

Basically there is misalignment between the method and the line of questioning.
