Yes, but they would be immune from a legal point of view, they would still have to use the same backdoored software.

I really don’t think this has anything to do with pressure from the 10% of the public that can afford to care about this.

Politicians, and more importantly influential people, also rely on the same tech as we do and they have infinitely more to lose if their communications leak.

I don't think its dumb from a business point of view. You've got to make promises to the editors that the platform is going to drive the sales up, not down.

Is it hostile to customers, absolutely.

This is an excellent starting point, I have just tried it on "The Origins of Totalitarianism" by Hannah Arendt, and maybe it's because of the numerous bibliographical references, or the the occasional diacritics, but the end result is a bit messy and not really readable.

I think a motivated hacker could definitely improve it in no time.

Still amazing that it works at all, really well done.

Fairly usual stuff, I can relate to that!

I was born in France, I then had my last name changed to add my mother’s maiden name to my last name, and I can legally use either, my French id shows my name and my “usage name”.

Fast forward a few years, I settled in the UK, got naturalised, they dropped all the diacritics and kept only my “usage name” as my last name. You can also change name as many times as you like in the UK, they really don’t care, they’re pretty good at tracking it.

I then got my Italian citizenship by ancestry and there they’re the exact opposite of the British: only under very specific circumstances can you change your name, it has to be a matter of life and death pretty much. So they took my original French name, including the diacritics that nobody knows how to type on an Italian keyboard.

Now I live in Italy, with a different name than my British name, or my French “usage name”, and I have to explain to the clerks how to find me on their system (with my tax code) because they can’t type my name properly.

I’m in favour of also avoiding misleading names for meat products. Beef -> cow, pork -> pig, steak -> muscle.

Otherwise it’s too easy to mislead children (and adults) to think they’re not consuming something coming from a killed animal.

If we’re going to play stupid…

Who would have thought?...

Take the power back?

Also we definitely trust that the Brits just gave up, right? They had nothing in exchange, no guarantees to be able to access the data in other ways…

Also, the tweet is only about protecting American people. I personally still don’t feel very safe about it and keep my backups local, thanks.

Interesting that the author didn’t use AI to proofread his post. He’s not interested in coding very much but the English language doesn’t seem to be his forte either.

Author, if you’re reading this, “let’s” => “lets” (2 occurrences).

Maybe you’re being misled by the cryptic name. It’s got nothing to do with managing tags, it’s a behaviour tracker and fingerprint machine.

I don’t think this is a public key algorithm, so it’s most likely quantum safe.

Pure math fiction [edit: I realise they are not specifically about _particle_ physics, but these are the two I could find back in 2 minutes. Also, my comment was meant to be tongue in cheek ]

With the current theories, I don't think it matters (pun intended) if a matter and anti-matter black holes merge.

E=mc2 (+change)

In normal space that would have liberated a huge amount of energy, but in sufficiently curved space, the energy stays inside the back hole, mass is conserved, nothing to see (literally).

Thanks to the decentralised nature of git, this should matter only moderately.

Such a shame that nobody uses it.

Solar activity affects the outer layer of our atmosphere which expands with solar activity and affects the drag of satellites. This is how starlight lost a bunch of satellites last year.

This is great news! Browser editors will finally have to consider their users as their customers again, not their product.

Mozilla is especially guilty of it, their foundation still doesn’t accept donations for browser development. It’s time that people can pay for their browser if they want to, that’s the only way they’ll get respect.

There is no democracy without a free press, or else no one can make an informed decision. I doubt that the press can be called free when it’s owned by oligarchs.

How about instead of patching up our societies with technology we vote for the right people / laws for once?

I don't have access to the paper, but it seems to make zero testable predictions and is therefore just mathematical fiction. If it's not falsifiable, it's not science.

EDIT: the last sentence is "Given sufficient redshift (or, equivalently, time) resolution effected by the redshift slicing, one might just find that the Hubble diagram exhibits jumps in the redshift distance relation, which would be very revealing." So they say it's testable. However, we see the effects of "dark matter" (or whatever it really is) today affecting the spin of galaxies, so I don't see how that's compatible with the explanation of these events being "rare".

I would argue that the main reason is because everything is about money, and the shorter marketability of everything. Colors are polarising, and affect the unsold inventory and perceived resale value.

Why manufacture objects in 10 different colours if you know the green one is going to be a tough sell? Why buy a blue car if you think you’re going to sell it back after 2 years and struggle to do so?

You don’t want things you don’t intend to keep to have personally, period.

So sheep are fermions? Is that why you can't have two sheep at the same place in the state? (up and down sheep can be stacked no problem, there's plenty of empirical evidence of this)

API is down as well, can make changes to DNS zones, this is insane to have such a long outage.

This is great.

Sadly, apart from “looking good”, there seems to be no documentation, or visible roadmap. So I can’t evaluate if it’s worth looking into or not.

Keep up the good work!

There is no alternative really as only iCloud can back-up your settings, saved networks, and apps data.

Other apps like Nextcloud, can only backup documents (those not in apps) and pictures, because there's an API for this.

iTunes backup is an option, but it's not automatic and convenient.

If you want to get in touch, click Join the beta and drop us an email, old school, no strings attached. We’re currently testing Marketplace integration, the rest has already been battle tested.

Yes, at the moment we can handle everything that fits in a Target Group. Adding other constructs is not a big deal either.

I don’t know I can’t know.

But seriously no, it’s not, it’s never going to be as the topic is very niche, and it’s only ever consulted by people who have an interest in the product, that received the link by me or the marketplace.

I think the benefits of the “insights” I would get from tracking viewers are outweighed by the inconvenience I would cause to my customers.
