Private property ownership and intergenerational wealth transfer is the foundation of middle class, and bigger middle class leads to better education for the masses, and a more democratic society!

Wire is not for people to leave message unread for 3 months. Most user can deal with that. And once it is read. You can archive your message on to a file (and then put on USB). For most users, why use anything else?

For those who like to leave your message unread on the server for up to a year, then go with signal or telegram.

There is also a book about speed reading, where you can skip some words and still understand the sentence.

> PHP has astounding longevity. In maintaining my personal websites (static pages, web toys, projects with my writing groups), I always ask myself: how will I keep this running in 20 years? PHP originally stands for Person Home Page. really!

> Is this about the AI or about the use of regular technology that could hurt citizens

I would think the intend is about technology that could hurt citizens. More like responsible use of technologies. As a tech I support this kind of initiative. Anything allows software to identify person become a slippery slop to totalitarian government (in this day and age it won't just be government, also include trans-nation corporations).

> The DOJ (and perhaps similarly in GB?) has repeatedly preferred to prosecute white collar crimes seeking fines instead of jail time

The fine just became a cost of doing business for the banks and corps, and a funding the gov budget, truly a vicious cycle.

Maybe try little javascripter would be good for your kid. https://www.crockford.com/little.html

> AWS wrote Firecracker to run Fargate thank you for mention that. Which projects like Firecracker, it really doesn't make sense to have Docker.

>The vaccine may be effective against currently known strains but nothing says it is going to be effective against future ones.

It is true. Wonder if vaccine is the only way against COVID?

I can understand that. In many ways people become rely on this big Internet "Database" to hear and listen to things. However, companies runs Internet become more censored and surveilled. Disk and USB space are cheap, it is a good idea to start archiving and collecting things where you can play without Internet.

Likewise. It it also annoying whenever you go some where people ask oh is it on Spotify or Youtube?

It is fair to say that. However, why do we still use use large social media/ad platforms?

Time to support and use alternative, free/libra, self-hosted solutions. https://funkwhale.audio is one off top of my head for Spotfiy.

They are subsidized. Stock may not be best indication of the performance of the company.

Not really. It is like an addiction, however after not being on the internet for sometime one become more appreciative of things around and local stuff. High recommend tech people try it if opportunity arises.

Well, we can already use fMRI (maybe EEG as well) or PET scan to read the structure of people's thoughts. And researchers already have done BrainNet, A Multi-Person Brain-to-Brain Interface https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.08632

Science doesn't stay still. Given these it is no surprise that lay person think that this is possible.

> Local social life was fantastic- I missed nothing about the internet.

In general after decades of working with Internet and technology, I realize that I enjoy life (not work) better when there is no Internet. Of course, it is nice to have Internet to have occasional communication with friends and family not in the surrounding area.

Yeah these companies that rely on user data will NEVER delete your data once you submit it to them (regardless if they say your data is deleted or account closed). For company like FB you are the product.

https://app.wire.com already has that feature and it is based on signal protocol.

hmmm wonder why wouldn't google just roll their own.

The main reason people started using React is the JSX implementation in React at the time was very innovative. Actually many people working with Rihno in 2006 has talked about using JSX as templating system. FB is just the first one did it. However, now days there are plenty other less bloated front end frame work such as svelte, vue, mithrill that is more easy to use and have JSX support as well. There is really no reason to use React now days.

>I almost feel like that companies of a certain scale should be charged a licence to use OSS software and that money should be re-distributed As far as I'm concerned, FANNG companies (plus MS ) ought to treated differently than other companies. As they are quasi gov-entities getting subsidies from government contracts and use security market to leverage money. I mean Windows is still using the FreeBSD network stack for all these years.

use a sequence or uuid

have you seen https://www.nothingprivate.ml tech and internet are more hostile now days. company like google/fb will do anything to get user info legally or illegally, as the fine for bad behavior is usually slap on wrist.

This is interesting development. Back then when Pons and Fleischmann first came out with this in 89, they were heavily ridiculed ( or smeared) by main stream academics like MIT. It also turns out MIT has received a lot of money to do hot fusion research. Wouldn't be the first time that interests of funding interfered with science.

Exactly. Instead of putting backdoor in only the computer going to China, why not just install back door in ALL the chips. Cheaper too. At this point, it won't surprise if all the computer has a hard ware level backdoor such as spectr/meldown. Not to mention encryption backdoor. Even state level player doesn't have the resources to take all that out. Remember when Snowden leak came out, Russian gov switched all internal memo to typewriters that shall give you an idea.

>To me this missive reads as a response to some specific questions. It would have been nice to know what those questions were.

As a lay person, it is easy to guess is buying and selling of art in the art world is filled with dirty money/money laundering. If you make a visit to art museums in New York, often if you have business card from one of investment banks, you get to go in admission free, it is because art museums are heavily funded by people from wall street. Not to say that everyone works at wall street are people without integrity, but you get the general idea.

Good for firefox. although I can see how this may break vimeo kind of service that only allow embedding video from certain web site.

>These companies have perfected the art of milking the taxpayer

Glad some one said something about this. It seems like public and private sector has some how magically merged in US. Shall we remind what happens when you privatize some thing public like prison.

You are right. Most security are really depending on banks whether they operate with integrity and your relationship with them. For security get to know your banker. And I wouldn't recommend any of large banks. Local credit union and small bank with good balance sheet are better bet.
