I've been using GrapheneOS for a couple years now. I'm glad to see an Android fork that holds their ground as far as Play services are involved. You call them compromises but I see at more as providing visibility when apps are doing something I would otherwise object to but don't know about. It's opinionated, and therefore not for everyone.

FWIW, Discord notifications are working fine for me.

I also strongly discourage signing into work accounts on your personal phone. It's a privacy nightmare. Have them buy you one. Turn it off when you're not working.
Thanks dude <3. We are indeed doing the thing :D
Yes, "eat less" is the answer, but this is harder to do yeah if your metabolism is slow or always being hungry. this drugs makes it easier to eat less and hence lose weight .
That's where scale changes kind.

I'd have no problem either, if TikTok were only collecting data on you.

I wouldn't have much of a problem, if TikTok were collecting data on x0,000s of people.

To me, it rises to the level of security-sensitive when information is collected on enough people that there's a high likelihood of people in future sensitive positions (military, government, legal) having had their information collected historically.

One can't put the genie back in the bottle when a competitor government can see a new president elected... and pull up a profile of what they swiped from 10-40.

That scenario impacts not just you (the future president), but everyone you have power or influence over.

And given the Chinese government's documented willingness to coerce people in foreign countries (i.e. the "not police" police stations), betting they won't use that power seems shortsighted...

> wtf does that have to do with Curiosity program? All of these are 2+ decades old.

That’s 20 years of learning how to design and land things on mars. They wouldn’t have been able to build Curiosity without the past experiences. The Curiosity program itself started in 2002, just a couple years after the missions above.

What people say is that knowledge in the field is extremely hard to transfer, and easily lost. As an example, apparently we are completely unable to rebuild the Space Shuttle and Saturn rocket, even though technology is vastly more advanced today. Each vehicle really is a “program” including all its people and supply chain. This is also something SpaceX is trying to change by building actual production lines for their engines and bodies, not one-off builds.
you know how much money you have to pour into semi R&D to keep up and how much hardware Apple has to produce & sell to justify that cost ?
> The way to win against Russia is not via sanctions but rather via destabilizing the regime through guerrilla propaganda. The Russians, the Chinese, and the Soviets before them have always known this. The West is just too slow to catch on.

This is a totally uninformed vibes-based opinion, but I can't help but feel like the sort of "guerilla propaganda" you're talking about must be a major factor in the current fracturing of cultural and political discourse in the US.
What you're writing has very little to do with reality.

When we recently made agreements with the US to allow them to store some of their weapons here in case of a crisis we did this, the mutual concern was Russia. The weapons stored are presumably also of types useful for dealing with Russia.

We Europeans have nuclear weapons as well, so there's no possibility of the US preventing any uncivilized violence-- we do in fact have very real autonomy.

The US probably did blow up Nordstream; but this is very simply that it's easy to make the right choice when you're not paying for it, so this isn't some example of better American morality. Poland has a formal alliance with us and we would have to defend them by all means at our disposal.

But, taking into account the sale of oil fund assets by Azerbaijan and the corresponding increase in military spending I assume more pipelines will soon have to be blown up, only this time it'll be the UK who adds its complaints to those of Germany and the other gas dependent countries. The Armenians might even have to do it themselves, rather than relying on help from others.
We've got combined buildings and contents insurance, but yes they're often separate. My point is that owners want more from the building insurance than a bank cares about.
> Regulation in California has kept rates down for homeowners while earning the insurance industry a healthy profit

This is a big claim to make unsubstantiated. If it were so profitable, business wouldn't be pulling out.

Looking just at 2022 and 2023, Californian insurers wrote $28.8bn of fire and homeowner policies and experienced a 56.5% loss ratio [1]. If the LA fires cost insurers $30bn [2], that's almost five years' underwriting profits. Over the last ten years, California's homeowner insurers have paid out $108 in claims and expenses for every dollar of premium they brought in [3]. Show me the "healthy profit."

> the FAIR Plan, California’s high-cost, low-benefit state insurer of last resort

Even this stingy model will need a bail-out [2].

This analysis is deeply flawed, starting from the premise that insurers are screwing consumers and then trying to work backwards.

> If you live in the US, someone like Musk is going to have a greater influence on your life than the Chinese government and I see no reason to trust him any more or less than the Chinese government. So any discussion of this being a matter of national security just rings hollow.

Just because Musk is a f*ing problem for all Americans, doesn't mean that the CCP isn't a problem. Not much you can do about "President" Musk -- so you have to work with what you can control.

1. It's hard to capture all the waste heat. If you could run this indoors (but vent outdoors if the fuel is anything other than H2, naturally) then you could use some of the waste heat to heat a building.

2. There are thermovoltaic generators, but they're limited by the need to cool one side of the material. These are typically used in deep space probes that use Pu 240 to power them. To my knowledge thermovoltaic generation is not scalable or practical on Earth at this time.
No worries. Thank you for your friendly reply.

if you reread your post, looking for whatabboutism, each critique you provide could be described as such in response to "we're great trading partners and will continue to be"

why are these whatabboutisms interesting but others are not? what makes you comfortable with working with americans, when its clear how they treat expat political dissidents like Assange and Snowden? why are you ok working with the US who's military is tuned for seizing iranian oil shipments? why are you favourable to a US reserve currency when the US has been abusing its power by putting all kinds of unilateral sanctions, and confiscating reserves without any due process? its not just china thats trying to make a new reserve currency, the EU does too, so they can buy iranian oil.

minus all the whatabboutisms, america and china exchanged ~$750B worth of goods and services in 2022, with neither's trangressions being a blocker. Americans by and large care much more about the cost and variety of goods than they do about fishing rights in the south china sea. americans dont care that much about US foreign policy goals, compared to shopping and culture.

Yes, fundamentally my point is that it's pretty much always useful to separate OS allocation from application-level "allocation" (more like consumption of allocated memory than true allocation), and, that application-level "allocation" should always auto-abort() or at least provide a trivially easy way to auto-abort().

So I agree, given malloc and friends are a combination of OS and application-level allocators, they should auto-abort(). I don't focus on malloc and friends though, because I'm not a fan of using the Rube Goldberg machine of "general purpose" allocators in most non-trivial situations. They're complicated hierarchies of size-based pools, and free lists, and locks, and on and on.

It's not theater.

It's about having an adversarial entity -- one with whom the US could be at war with one day -- have control over a social media network that is highly pervasive in US society. It's not about harvesting the data. It's about having the ability to subtly manipulate public opinion through control of the algorithm that determines what comes up on people's feeds.

Yes, foreign adversaries can run TV ads like anyone else, or have their people on social media to try to sway the conversation (there's even a name for these people in China - "wumao"). I'm sure there's some people working for the CCP on this thread. But control of the network is a whole other level of influence -- orders of magnitude greater.

I really really really want to love GrapheneOS, but the Pixels are just not very competitive devices. What make a Pixel standout is google smarts. Without all that stuff, you have a generations behind slow processor, a meh set of camera sensors, a smaller battery, and an unremarkable screen (edit: that's not fair, apparently it is a very bright screen). It's a midrange phone for 1000 dollars

I trust the GrapheneOS dev when he says the security chain is great on pixels and that supporting more devices is kinda a nightmare, but the whole pixel+grapheneOS package is just not as appealing at that price-point
In my experience they always held up the 100 Mbit/sec claim for lower-end variants, and an acceptable 350-ish Mbit/sec on USB2-backed GbE devices. I have no experience with GbE USB3 dongles.

Privacy legislation only works because companies have to worry about whistleblowers leaking violations to the media, which would cause them to be fined. China can disappear any whistleblowers and has full control over their media. If CCP compromising TikTok is proven despite this, then it's over for TikTok anyways and fines are irrelevant.
> This is also contradicting what you just said, that people in the US don't have access to this content.

The point is that their other media so promotes a lack of curiosity by providing a false impression of being comprehensive. If you risk bursting that bubble suddenly you are first mocked, then they try to buy you, then they block you, and tell you it is your fault.

The US is held to higher standards because that is how it promotes itself. Many of us outside the US are actually saddened by a betrayal of these values, because we are all too aware of how lacking many places are, and we need the US to be better than this.
You don't trust it yet, like a new human assistant you might hire - will they be able to handle all the variables? Eventually, they earn your trust and you start offloading everything to their inbox.
I suspect this needs some moving parts to function - without a turbine's suction, you need some sort of a fan to pump air into the thing, and also a fuel pump. Most things with internal combustion require some kind of active cooling as well.
> I feel we lost a lot of this simplicity over the years, but it's "still there" if you don't care about optimal performance.

You lost some simplicity in going "straight to the metal", but at the same time it never really went straight to the metal because things have not actually worked that way for ages, nor do anyone really want to deal with exclusive access.

On the other hand, you can make a window with a shm buffer on your display server, giving you the same drawing simplicity of the old interfaces but without having to deal with fbdev, evdev, exclusive access, etc. - with that in mind, I do not think anything educational was lost.

No harm in playing around though.
From the "wire-to-wire" mention it seems that they're proposing using electric power to generate and store hydrogen till it's needed, then burn it to get electric power back.

But they say other fuels work, in which case it wouldn't be "wire-to-wire", and then it'd be more appropriate to compare this to a power generator fueled by natural gas or gasoline. A generator with no pistons or turbines, just a fuel pump, sounds fantastic, if they can make it work. But you'd have to supply sodium.
Thanks for this, excellent. Sorry I posted and forgot to check back for a reply.

What does "wire to wire" even mean? The input isn't a wire! (Do they mean they think they can synthesize fuel and burn it at 40% overall efficiency? If so, that's pretty good.)

There's at least three separate reasons that justify banning TikTok. If Trump bails them out, it's a complete betrayal of his base and the country at large.

1. Competitive balance. China does not allow US social media companies. If we allow theirs, our industry is essentially fighting with one hand tied behind its back.

2. China controls the algorithm for determining who sees what. This gives them tremendous ability to influence public opinion, and consequently public elections. That cannot be allowed to stand as long as China is hostile to the US.

3. China gets extremely detailed data about the interests and proclivities of millions of Americans, including military personnel and elected officials. This data is not otherwise publicly available and can be used for blackmail and other manipulation. Which is completely unacceptable when we have no mechanism to punish them from doing this short of global nuclear war.

Even ignoring the enormous threat to national sovereignty, TikTok has no redeeming qualities. It's an addiction machine that profits off people wasting away in front a screen. That alone is not a reason to ban it, but it sure does make the case stronger.

Banning TikTok is a clear-cut positive for the American people. Every American adult should be in support.
thanks for the gift link :)

Yes, but also no: surface area is a proxy for compute power, because it's a proxy to heat dissipation. Phones are also only passively air-cooled — which is like the absolute worst cooling mechanism, too¹. So yes, processors do get better, but watts are watts, and there's a hard upper limit to how many watts a phone can consume, and you have to get better within that limit.

Or … IDK, maybe you don't. Recent Android phones are now capable of prompting the user to actively cool them off because the ~bloat~ software is consuming too much compute/power. What basically translates to "help I'm dying" is an amusing message, but also a depressing state of affairs.

¹compare to a laptop, or worse for the phone, a desktop. The comparative cooling surface area is multiple times larger. And both have fans, desktops can be liquid cooled — it's not mere chance that they're faster, and phone form factor literally presents challenges. Even with an infinite battery, or a USB capable, you can't dissipate 60 W into a human hand.
This is great work, but really it seems that anyone who is a truly dedicated Brood War amateur should knuckle under and learn Korean. It really isn’t that unapproachable: with a decent approach (try https://refold.la ) you should be able to get somewhere useful in maybe “just” 3000 hours.

> It is unusual for something red to really be the brightest color in a natural scene unless the red is something self-luminous like an LED in a dark night.

Right. Just the extremely common cases where humans deliberately use red lights because of the fact that they are perceived as being very bright. Stop lights, brake lights, tail lights, emergency vehicle lights, aviation obstruction lighting, emergency flairs, emergency exit lights, etc.
If using compressed natural gas you might not need a fuel pump at all.
True, but the results would likely still be useful, particularly when choosing colors for web sites which will be displayed on the same distribution of screens.
