Its not that I am sure of my answers and I do respect different opinions and I even welcome skepticism - can we ever be sure about something at all? But I wish they would take my skepticism as serious as mine, but I don't feel like this is the case.

It is really difficult sometimes, because they are able to find doctors and quotes that do look very sophisticated at the beginning. Only if you dig really deep its possible to show them fallacies and as mentioned, this is really really time consuming

I agree with what you said, it may be me who is affected... And yeah it is a very hard problem. I think the underlying problem is determine / finding the truth.

Ah nice, short and concise and the link looks like what wanted, perfect

I am very curious about Linux phones and getting away from Android (Using Graphene OS RN). But my experience weren't very satisfying.

Could someone give me a quick overview or link to different Linux based OS for smartphones?

How is this one different from Sailfish?

Happy to hear from you! :-)

Actually I do understand BOTH sides, BUT:

The way the university did this tests and the reactions afterwards are just bad.

What I see here and what the Uni of Minnesota seem to neglected is: 1. Financial damage (time is wasted) 2. Ethical reasons of experimenting with human beings

As a result, the University should give a clear statement on both and should donate a generous amount of on money for compensation of (1.)

For part (2.), a simple bit honest apology can do wonders!

Having said that, I think there are other and ethically better ways to achieve these measurement.

Why don't they cooperate with f-droid? So many open source app on github are already on f-droid

They have a desktop app that is working very well, much better than the WhatsApp web app.

Or do you have a different use case?

I'd suggest that: Whenever we, the hacker news guys who care for privacy, recognize that there is an opportunity for a privacy concerned development team like Signal -> We send them an e-mail or similar.

Since often its really difficult to spot it yourself.

I'm using Signal from the early days on where a lot of stuff wasn't working properly. I try to comvince people for quite some time now and whenever there was like a privacy issue on WhatsApp or other messaging apps, I saw people discovering and moving to Signal.

Sadly, whenever there was such an opportunities to shine, they ran into technical difficulties.

As a result, many friends tell me on a different messaging app like telegram that they finally tried out signal but moved on because it wasn't working.

This makes me very sad and I hope that the Signal team is able to learn from that and plan ahead.

@Signal please take your opportunities and make a reminder like a big banner in your office reminding you to ask yourself "is there an opportunity?" Or more concrete "did WhatsApp messed up with privacy?"

For me, I will still try to convince more people to switch to signal :-)

First: This is an awesome project.

I am using it for quite a while now. I'd like to mention a few things that differentiates it from other solution and made me using it:

1.) Instead of providing a full featured app for the etesync environment on your pc or smartphone, it provides proxies / adapters for the encryption layer that make you use your native tools! What does that mean? I do not need a dedicated etesync calendar app, neither on my smartphone, nor on my desktop. I can add calendars using the etesync adapter to thunderbird and the mobile app provides the calendar natively to android (like davdroid etc).

2.) Light-weight. Compared to e.g. the fully blown Nextcloud, it is very lightweight and does what it does very well.

3) Open source and easy to self-host.

4) Traceability / History. Etesync provides a journal so you can see who added a calendar item.

5) Easy to use. This corresponds with 1) since you don't have to learn a "new" app. You just install it and the rest falls in place :-)

I used radicale for my calenders and tasks before but it neither provides encryption nor the functionality to share your calendars with others. I had to create soft-links on my docker by hand if I wanted to share a calendar. I used nextcloud for this, too - but it always felt clumsy.

Putting it together: I can highly recommend trying it!

Same here! Using it for quite a while now and I am very happy with it :-)

Are there any statistics about how many users have not restricted their Google account sufficiently or like did not restrict it further than using the defaults?

Thanks for sharing

What further comes to my mind: If the authors have to choose between flexibility and specificity, then it may lack in modelling abstractions in a way that I can define it in multiple ways oft different specificity

Totally love the idea to digitize math!

It is one thing to write it down in text, but something different to make it possible to interact with it. For me, this is a big step in the right direction.

What pops in my mind: This could be a very interesting base for further interaction layers such that it may be possible to not only proof, but derive intuitions via these interactions. These could be graphical visualizations, simulations, graphical playgrounds and so forth...

On the other hand there are already languages to proof theorems etc - I wonder what exactly the difference is (but I am no expert here, maybe if I would know these languages it is super obvious).

Hope this project gets the attention it deserves!

Thanks for the hint!

It depends in whether I want to send it to someone in the local network or through the internet.

For local network:

I use miniserve ( https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve ) which is just a simple http server. There are similar tools for when I want to share it from the smartphone.

Through the internet it really varies:

Sometimes it is Firefox send ( https://send.firefox.com/ )

For photos, I use a self hosted photo solution piwigo ( https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo )

In earlier days it has been a self hosted nextcloud ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server ) instance. I still use it when the files are getting too large for Firefox send.

I also tried the already mentioned wormhole but this works only with tec ppl.

What do you mean by the term "learn"? Basic usage is helpful on a lot of linux servers (as already mentioned).

Power usage is a completely different topic, but me as a heavy vim user: I won't miss it.

Got it. I keep that in mind, thanks!

I am not sure whether I have enough information to answer your question, but:

Do you know his the day to day business for a PM looks like, so did you completely understand the business and the problem? If not I suggest to reach out to PMs in your network like in your family, your friends or just through LinkedIn or sth (LinkedIn worked for me here). Ask them whether they help you validating a business idea. Make a (video) call with them and ask them questions to identify where and in what situation your MVP would be helpful. I guess you have some hypotheses that you should verify. That helps you with the first step: Validating that there is a real problem.

Then you can go on with the next step and reach out to (new) PMs (again: LinkedIn may be useful here). You are now in a situation where you should know about their daily business such that you can ask questions that lead to the problem. Once this becomes clear to them, say you are building a solution. Ask them whether that would pay for that or better about how much they are willing to pay. You can even try different prices and ask them whether they would pay the price.

I am not sure if you have to be able to sell a product before MVP stage. If it is really only a month to go, I would build it and then go back to the PMs you talked to earlier. If they all changed their minds suddenly, then your solution is not the answer to the problem or the problem is not frequent / real / big enough, but you only lost 1 month. But maybe they are happy and are willing to help you.

Best wishes from my side; and don't give up yet ;-)

I guess you mean more than just keeping them away from the TV, don't you?

Interesting answer / point of view? Is that based on your own experience or his did you develop this opinion?

What do you have in mind when suggesting a leatherman? Promoting fantasy and creativity in nature by providing a multi purpose tool?

Wow, looked at both and find it really interesting. I was thinking about a microcontroller set for the 15yo, too. So it will definitely have a closer look at the sets.

I did not know the Snap Circuits sets but, ad you mentionrd, this may become really interesting in the future.

Thank you very much for thilese suggestions!

Knex, it is similar like lego, right? I only got one basic / small knex toolkit in my childhood. What is your opinion: what differentiates it from e.g. Lego? Thanks for the hint!

Yes - Lego is definitely good to get basic understanding. I personally really liked Lego tech but I try to expand my option pool :-)

Since there are missing parts: Do you have a sheduling plan for the remaining posts?

I really really like the first sentence

> RISC-V ("risk five") and the Rust programming language both start with an R, so naturally they fit together
