Lup has such detailed and well-thought-out posts.

I used his guides when developing for the PineTime and everything worked perfectly. I would have been completely lost without his information.

Thank you Lup!

I support non-interventionism as a default mode for public policy.

I also support the rights of private citizens living in a free society to act on their own behalf, however they see fit.

That's not a dangerous game, that's an excercise of the rights protected by the society they are part of.

Thank you, I am able to flag and will do so in the future. I was not aware. Thank you.

Thank you for asking. The valuable feedback from the community was deeply fulfilling.

I didn't have the time to maintain the project, so I needed to shut it down.

I want to bring it back.

Spam

I made https://callrec.app just for that. It records calls for you and emails you the recording.

I made it just for me, but it works well enough for recording outbound calls.

I'm glad to see this research being done. They did a great job with the paper and their searchable site.

As mentioned in the article/paper, this attack vector has been used before.

The AT+USBDEBUG command was used to unlock the Samsung S6 Dec 10, 2015.

The code published by FICS here: https://github.com/FICS/atcmd/blob/master/usbswitch/usbswitc...

is based off the same code from Dec 2015 here: https://github.com/ud2/advisories/blob/master/android/samsun...

I like FastMail too. I like their philosophy, that I can route and apply sorting rules to multiple domains easily, and I like their web interface.

There is recurring monthly billing and I've never experienced any issues with their billing. Reference image: https://piqdd.com/fastmail.billing.screen.png

How large is the team? Specifically, is it project management for 1 person or more than 1 person?

Tsunami watch has been cancelled for Washington, Oregon, and California.

In 4 years, substitute your own -- no thanks.

No offense, Nick Srnicek, but please keep the authoritarianism on that side of the pond.

Sounds like fun, I took the time to apply on https://mhacks.org.

The mhacks.org site could use some work though:

- no password reset

- you lose your profile after saving it and re-navigating

Down for about 7 hours. Couldn't pick a better time to go down than Friday night at 11:48PM EST.

Thanks for the updates GitLab Team!

The content-vs-time density for this video is extremely high and it was a pleasure to watch all of the video. I print in PLA rather than ABS right now so the video isn't directly applicable to my life but it's nice to see somebody working on the designs. Cheers to the author!

After reading it over some more, I see that I was mistaken and the title of the post is accurate. "We conclude that First Amendment principles, controlling authority, and persuasive precedent demonstrate that a First Amendment right to record the police does exist, subject only to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions." Starts at the middle of page 9.

The part you're looking for: "We conclude that First Amendment principles, controlling authority, and persuasive precedent demonstrate that a First Amendment right to record the police does exist, subject only to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions."

Starts at the middle of page 9.

Good point out, too late for me to edit the typo. Thank you!

It should read:

>> In this case, the Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled on this. You can see a map of the federal circuits here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_courts_of_appeal...

New law being written right before our eyes. But the title of the post isn't actually what was found in this case...

This PDF is worth reading over a couple times for full understanding. The topic is extremely relevant to each of our lives and thus quite tangible and easy to reason about.

The person in this case had to have a federal judgement made against him (the officers were granted qualified immunity [typical]) and THEN he had to appeal the case to obtain this judgement. A lot of work! (And I'm glad he saw it through!)

"The officers’ handcuffing Turner and placing him in the patrol car, as alleged in the amended complaint, were not reasonable under the circumstances. We conclude that a reasonable person in Turner’s position would have understood the officers’ actions 'to constitute a restraint on [Turner’s] freedom of movement of the degree which the law associates with formal arrest.'" Kudos to the judges for their sound judgement.

"Grinalds and Dyess are therefore not entitled to qualified immunity at this stage of the litigation on Turner’s Fourth Amendment claim that the officers violated his right to be free from warrantless arrest absent probable cause." Epic.

"Even if Turner had sufficiently alleged a constitutional violation, Driver acted objectively reasonably in light of the circumstances—namely, by apprising himself of the situation and acting accordingly. Driver is therefore entitled to qualified immunity on Turner’s Fourth Amendment claims." Fair and reasonable judgement.

The dissent is interesting and worth-reading. I agree regarding the First Ammendment findings, but I disagree with the arguments against the majority's Fourth Ammendment judgement.

For some understanding of how the Federal Judicial System works, it's worth watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_mbk0YhLa0.

The law that protects citizens from oppression from officers (as in this case) is United States Code: 42 U.S. Code § 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights. It's a short text and you can read it here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/1983 (Read it a few times over again to get a good idea of what is stated)

In this case, the Court of Appeals for the 5th District ruled on this. You can see a map of the federal districts here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_courts_of_appeal...

"usefulness has run out." It's usefulness hasn't run out for me. I use constantly every day.

"When was the last time you downloaded an mp3?" I download MP3s all the time.

I use WinAmp and I love using WinAmp. Just wanted to add a different perspective.

Was definitely interested, clicked through a bunch and wanted to see pricing and sign up. Unfortunately it's a "contact us for more info" situation, which is really a non-starter as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for the recommendation though.

Anybody whose opinion matters understands that this type of event is a process problem, not a person problem.

GitLab has always blazed their own trail with their transparency, whether through their open run books, open source code, or in this case their open problem resolution. Kudos to them in whatever manner they want to do it in (with or without names).

To be honest, through all of the comments, yours seems the most high-strung, and you're the one complaining about high-pressure situations like having your boss looking over your shoulder. Relax buddy. :)

I remember when we accidentally deleted our customers' data. That was the worst feeling I ever had running our business. It was about 4% of our entire storage set and had to let our customers know and start the resyncs. Those first 12 hours of panic were physically and emotionally debilitating - more than they have the right to be. I learned an important lesson that day: Business is business and personal is personal. I remember it like it was yesterday, the momement I conciously decided I would no longer allow business operations determine my physical health (stress level, heart rate, sleep schedule).

For what it's worth, it was a lesson worth learning despite what seemed like catastrophic world-ending circumstances.

We survived, and GitLab will too. GitLab has been an extraordinary service since the beginning. Even if their repos were to get wiped (which seems not to be the case), I'd still continue supporting them (after I re-up'd from my local repos). I appreciate their transparency and hope that they can turn this situation into a positive lesson in the long run.

Best of luck to GitLab sysops and don't forget to get some sleep and relax.

What are good alternatives for communicating with somebody then?

What's the problem with tor + PGP?

Just downloaded it and it seems effective and well-polished. Thanks for the recommendation, mySQL Workbench has some killer bugs that made me stop using it.

Hey guys, I made this post just to show off what I learned through playing around a bit and thought someone might get something out of it.

If you have any questions or requests I'd be happy to help!

Send an email to info@nvidia.com to let them know that you'd like them to change their policies regarding opt-in vs opt-out default settings.

Here is my email:

Dear Nvidia,

  I have been a life-long supporter since I was in college (14 years). I have recommended your products to many friends and purchased more than 15 of your graphics cards for my own computers.  I build servers and run a cloud storage business. My friends and family look to me for advice on their own purchases. I am your target market - a technology leader that makes recommendations to others.

  I have been extremely satisfied with your product for a long time and would like to be able to recommend your "issue-free" products to my friends, family, and associates. I'm a big fan of Nvidia.

--

  Unfortunately, you have recently enabled telemetry reports (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12884762), and I will be less willing to recommend your product, opting for an AMD solution, or on-board solutions.

--

  To resolve this issue, please:

1: Please use opt-in defaults instead of opt-out defaults for privacy-sensitive reports

2: Make a blog post publishing your public policy on prioritizing user privacy over other priorities.

--

On a more general note, privacy issues will be an increasingly important consideration for technology leaders before making recommendations. Microsoft made a mistake integrating privacy-invasive telemetry into Windows 10. Please don't make the same mistake. Nvidia needs leaders that will prioritize user privacy over other market concerns.

Thank you,

David

I'm not sure why this would be flagged and tagged dead, I vouched for it.

As a matter of respect for the HN medium, you don't flag articles you simply "don't like". That said, this seems like important and relevant discourse.

While this article is technically "Off-Topic" [1]; with all the discussion over YC's Peter Thiel supporting Trump, I'd expect something as black-and-white as this to be non-controversial.

I'm making web apps and mobile apps and I'd like to learn how to make my apps more accessible. Is there a community where I can ask for assistance with accessibility testing? I'd be willing to pay for testing. Thank you kindly. Nanch.

I'm all aboard the existing use cases for Span<T>. I said that when I said "interesting value add inclusion." for the Span<T> inclusion. Not sure I get your comment.
