Why should they get rid of the Linux kernel?

I wasn't expecting to read a Hyperion reference in this thread, such a great book.

(And if you haven't read the book you can guess what could possibly go wrong with this setup.)

It also sounds like a plumbing nightmare to build.

> This EU law has made security far worse.

Stop blaming the EU. They didn't make security worse. It's Google and the other manufacturers who decided to respond to this law by using a loophole that made security far worse.

Open source is not only about being able to read the code: the open source definition includes "Free Redistribution" (anyone who has the software can give away copies, and get paid if they want) and "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor", among other requirements.

These two requirements combined make it impossible to distribute open source software with the provision that it is only free for individuals.

How much?

If it's not free for enterprises then it's not open source, according to the commonly accepted definition.

"Plug and stay" is also a horrible idea at a time when laptops routinely come with only 2 USB ports.

Does the QR code that you use when boarding have to be the same QR code that you use before security, though?

The app still works /for now/.

Thanks! For something more complex, I suggest a moderately complex formula with parentheses and superscripts like $f \in \mathcal{C}^0([a,b])$, an equation delimited by \[...\], and maybe a macro declaration with parameters like \newcommand\halves[1]{\frac{#1}{2}}.

The Latex example should include at least a math formula.

Can you mix encodings in a QR code?

An interesting remark: in the 1950s-1970s, mainframes were typically rented rather than sold.

I am not debating what tranq_cassowary and the other two users are writing: it seems all correct (from what I can verify) and useful. I am just suggesting that they disclose their affiliation, if there is any, as a good transparency practice.

I myself am not affiliated in any way with their "infamous competition", not even as a user of their software, so I have nothing to disclose. (Actually, I am a Graphene OS user.)

Are you affiliated with the project? I see all your posts are about Graphene OS. On HN it is customary to state it: you often see "author here" in discussions where the author joins. If you are part of the team I would suggest against using the third person ("they have a team...").

I know strcat is the lead Graphene OS developer, and it seems you and Andromxda are very knowledgeable about the project and very active on this thread.

I never wrote that the other Graphene OS features and mitigations are trivial. I agree that there is much more to that.

And even if the USB mitigations were hard to write (thanks for all your work, by the way!), they are surely significantly easier to backport from an open source project.

Two fixes that would be trivial to backport to mainline Android.

It's also a question of length though. If you go down 292 m and then back up over 14.4 km, that is a 4% slope on average. But to go down 250 m and then back up over 3.3 km, it requires a 15% average slope.

The strait is unusually deep, 250 m. That seems quite a slope.

With the current world leadership, I'm (non-sarcastically) afraid someone will try to 'export democracy' to Mars.

More importantly, I imagine a 2D map would not be useful for fish: there is much more space to represent when you can also swim up and down.

This depends heavily on what you call "high quality". If you go by Victorian chimney sweep standards, even the crappiest jobs today are heaven on earth.

The name at the top of the article is still the journalist's. They might be selling (through ads or a subscription) an article written by a Pulitzer winner, but in fact it is partly written by an editor, and the journalist hasn't even checked it. Isn't it like selling "beef" lasagnas that contain horse meat?

What is the Linux experience on new Mac hardware? I'd be interested also in running a Macbuntu.

Denmark doesn't have Euros as currency, unfortunately.

Do the banks actually check that the documents are legit? I'm sure your favorite LLM can generate pictures of all these documents in the blink of an eye.
