Nah. Not really. A lot of the useful data out there doesn't need ACL, precise (or any dates at all) etc.

Also, a lot of application-specific data formats already don't care about the "extra" attributes available in various filesystems because those aren't universally supported and implement them themselves in the file format they operate on. For example, DICOMs, or password-protected PDFs or Zip archives etc.

But Apple did ship GPLv2. They're shipping open source tools with infectious licenses like they always did.

K, and? Every comment I've typed in this thread was surrounding how these things are implemented on the rendering layer. Whether or how those are encrypted is of no relation to my point. Badgering on about it more won't help you make a point.

You seem to be under the impression that I am knocking Signal as a client, and I'm not. It is my primary messenger.

I just expect better of them and I do not believe for one moment that they couldn't have the UI/UX of Telegram. You are more than welcome to get all tied up in the crypto/privacy/security arguments - I have never argued those because they are (a) boringly obvious points and (b) not the fucking point of my comment chain.

Privacy and security have jack shit to do with how well an engineer implements rendering code, full stop. Telegram does it better and Signal/Element/etc need to do better.

>In communism, would you really want to extract the equivalent of $50m of labour and resources in order to provide one person with this test? I can't imagine how that would be affordable.

From my experience, companies taking months to get GDPR are ones that want to tick the box, but don't want to follow the law, so they have to go through the trouble of justifying gathering unnecessary data for themselves and their 873 trusted partners. They usually end up noncompliant anyway because GDPR is a pretty sensibly written law that you can't just work around with a crappy popup, but enforcement has unfortunately been lacking.

China has already announced that from 1st December they will abolish tariffs on imports from the 43 poorest countries.

IKEA in the US has a good fast-food restaurant as well (although I'd call it more of a cafeteria). On the other hand, in the US, IKEA doesn't value making it easy to navigate the store or developing a competent assembly service. I think the issue is that companies will generally either see something as a core competency, or at least central to brand identity, and therefore put more effort into it, or they'll see it as non-core, in which case it will go to the cheapest option.
Can you point to any specific examples? Do they support solar charging? And what wattage panel would be needed to support both charging and heating?
> Whatever right wing cope you may have read

I haven't. I am just telling how I believe it is perceived from outside the US. It seems like Americans here find it a bit excessive for tourists to choose not to come to the US "just because of a mistake at the border". I'm trying to say that from the outside, the US is behaving at least like a big bully, sometimes like an enemy. You don't go on vacation in a country that threatens to attack you militarily.
I believe that a significant portion of this is gender coding. The political parties in the US are segmenting by gender. Manufacturing is coded male and service jobs are coded female. Once you drill in things get more complex, since something like garment manufacturing would still be coded female, but this is correct at the largest levels. So a political movement that is soaked in a desire for a return to some idealized past of traditional masculinity concludes that manufacturing is virtuous while service roles are not, independent of whether manufacturing actually creates greater economic prosperity.

"Email jobs" are disdained as valueless. Hawley compares manufacturing to God's Creation in his book on masculinity and concludes that men must carry on this legacy of creation to fulfill their purpose. That's not an economic argument but a moral one, which concludes that it is better to be paid less pressing steel into sheets than to be paid more teaching undergraduates.

The fact that both your sources are NOT the actual DNG license text should be sufficient to humble yourself from "This is not correct" to at least a question.

--> Your information source is incomplete. Please refer to the license of DNG [0].

The patent rights are only granted:

1. When used to make compliant implementations to the specification,

2. Adobe has the right to license at no cost every method used to create this DNG from the manufacturer, and

3. Adobe reserves the right to revoke the rights "in the event that such licensee or its affiliates brings any patent action against Adobe or its affiliates related to the reading or writing of files that comply with the DNG Specification"

--

None of this is trivial to a large company.

First of all, it requires involvement of a legal department for clearance,

Second, you are in risk of violation of the patent as soon as you are not compliant to the specification,

Third, you may have to open every IP to Adobe at no charge which is required in order to create a DNG from your sensor (which can be a significant risk and burden if you develop your own sensor) and

Fourth, in case the aforementioned IP is repurposed by Adobe and you take legal action, your patent-license for DNG is revoked.

--

--> If you are a vendor with a working RAW implementation and all the necessary tools for it in place, it's hard to make a case on why you should go through all that just to implement another specification.

I think this one is already past the past the inflection point, to be honest. I see people using the word with the new meaning far more than the old one; hell, I see people complaining about how the word is used more than I see it used for the original meaning. My take is that the original meaning is so narrow that it's almost inevitable that any more broad usage that appeared would overtake it to the point of drowning out the original.

> So you genuinely think that if you go to the US you have a high risk of being imprisoned without due process even if you you don't break any US law?

I think that the risk of being imprisoned without due process is very low, but still substantially higher than in any other Western country, and certainly high enough not to justify the risk.

I also think that the risk of being temporarily imprisoned with due process, until they figure out that I haven't broken any law anywhere, is also very low, but still substantially higher than in most Western countries. And certainly high enough that it's not worth the risk.

I don't have an issue with border controls being a thing. I'm not a free travel idealist. I get why border controls exist, I think the premise of not letting people in unless they provably meet the host country's requirement is perfectly reasonable, and I certainly think that, even if someone did nothing wrong and just doesn't have their documentation in order, sending them back home on the first flight is an entirely reasonable thing to do. I just think that, in the current political climate, both the chances of being the victim of good old abuse and the chances of well-meaning ICE personnel screwing up are too high to be worth crossing the Atlantic for.

The tech hate is bipartisan, however the tech companies got lucky that the Republican choice for President happens to be distinctly corrupt and easy to buy off with money and flattery. Additionally, his feelings are so easily hurt that Congress, which otherwise might implement bi-partisan tech legislation, is afraid of offending him for fear of being targets of his lashing out, so they're just sitting on the sidelines rather than legislating.

This is a unique set of circumstances; given any other combination of parties in power, with any different President, and they'd be in the bullseye right now.

>What worries me is which side the US (government, not people) would choose to support if EU states send troops to Ukraine's front lines, which would absolutely instigate a Russian response.

Even the Biden administration was going out of its way to not push Russia too far. None of The Powers That Be in the US are interested in stumbling into WW3 with Russia, over Ukraine. Stumbling into WW3 with China, over Taiwan? Maybe. So I'd say Europe should approach such a decision from the assumption that you will receive no support from the US if you go down that road. If Europe wants to send its men to the killing fields of the Ostfront, it's on its own.

Assuming Europe, collectively, can even change the balance of power on the ground is also a stretch. Even some of the larger established militaries in Europe don't have the bodies to move the needle in this fight. The British Army, for example, has woefully understrength infantry battalions and is struggling with enlistment.[1][2] France claims they can put a division into the field [3] but I doubt that, probably more like a reinforced brigade (~5,000). I really don't get the impression European civil society is ready for hundreds or thousands of bodies to start coming back home either, but I could be wrong on that.

Meanwhile Russia inducted ~440,000 men last year, beating recruiting goals courtesy of MASSIVE cash enlistment bonuses, and still expects to grow their end strength this year as well.[4]

It is a widely held view of the US by many foreigners; they don't conceptualize how big and diverse the US is.

Other commenters here apparently do weigh the cost of travel with the risk the government of the country will detain them.

Nobody considers long term damage, particularly in a business sense.

If you look at the history of American company that have failed or are currently failing, there is one common denominator: short-term decision making.

As soon as business have even an ounce of success, they immediately give up on and start optimizing for the now, not the tomorrow. Take a look at Tesla. They invested a lot in the early days of their company and it paid off heavily. But as soon as they saw market success, they took a page from GM. Stop innovating immediately, start cutting quality. You’re safe now, no need to be competitive. No need to think about the future, it’s secured.

But it’s not secured, and this ambivalence is their downfall. Smarter, long-term thinking business will run Tesla into the ground, as history has shown with GM.
this is also my thinking. what trump is doing is pure evil, but he will have unintended positive consequences by undermining american monopolies.
People don't realize that manufacturing WILL come back to the USA with tariffs and that this is a very good thing for our self reliance and self defense. I am just afraid Trump will cave to political pressures and take tariffs down and make "deals" before this happens. Short term pain for long term gain.

I would be careful on dates not just before 1582 but before 1753.

Great Britain and its colonies (which included USA) did not change to Gregorian until 1752 and also to confuse more changed the date on when the year changed from March to 1st January.

If you are in Greece or Russia be even more aware as that will be around 1920 when they changed.

> Signal uses Diffie-Hellman ratchet or SCIMP ratchet for every received message. That means there's X25519 and AES-CBC involved for every message. It is not, and will never be as fast as Telegram's insecure approach.

I'm aware.

That said, if Signal is able to render mostly fine in their current desktop app, then I've no reason to believe that the speed of decrypting messages is a blocker to optimizing the UI layer. Glossy-ness is a factor in why people still use shit like Telegram. Signal has no blocker to implementing it.

This has been my entire point for pretty much every comment in this chain.
