Reading the book Rage at the moment, it seems like a lot of governments are scared of a nuclear war because of N Korea

> good old sexism

The only comment mentioning her gender was someone defending her, you're pulling hair here

pqoek··on Watch live: Zuckerberg, Dorsey testify before Senate [video]
I haven't watched this one, but I watched the previous ones (how many times will these guys have to testify really?) and there was more questions than answers. Most of the times the questioners wouldn't even let the testifiers answer the questions, it was just a show.

Why is Mozilla not betting on Rust anymore?

I feel like there are chances that the next big startup scene ends up not being in the US, but in Berlin or ChiangMai

Makes me think of these ads you get that pays you to move to jewish settlers camps in Palestine.

this, with everything remote, if you're dedicated and are on a budget this is an amazing offer to bootstrap your thing.

Part of changing and improve things is to actually move there to dilute the bigotry But I can understand that one wouldn't want to be the one that has to suffer for the good cause, because it takes generations for things to improve.

The great thing about religion is that it attracts fanatics who are willing to do this work. I wish there was a movement to make the world a better place with missionaries going abroad and to remote places to make people more open minded and less individualistic.

pqoek··on Burnout can exacerbate work stress, further promoting a vicious circle
I'm in the reverse situation, I'm free to do whatever I please and plan work myself, nobody really track my work besides the item that I placed there myself, the burn out is mostly coming from having too many meetings, not being able to relate to the product, and not being supported or having peers to exchange ideas with.

Are you unemployed right now? Because there is really no stress in not working, unless you can't financially sustain yourself. I would recommend moving to a cheap country in Asia to make it last longer and meet new people. Hell go back to school in some cheap country to learn the local language for 6month.

I do this every time I change job. It is so freaking awesome. The last time I did this I just wanted it to continue for longer... For my last job, my soon-to-be manager in the 50s told me that she had only ever had a week end in between her impressive list of jobs. I knew right then that I was going to hate my manager.

This, I just want to take a few months to focus on myself before going back to work, and that means quitting :(
pqoek··on Google Photos will end its free unlimited storage in June 2021
> - Ability to require a full/proper login for guests (no hard-to-guess urls as security)

I believe all services provide that, because both have their upsides and downsides

pqoek··on Google Photos will end its free unlimited storage in June 2021
Hell, I guess this was doomed to happen, but I did not think of it when I transitioned to Google Photos. Dropbox has been pretty bad for syncing photos from my device, so I started using both, now I'm thinking that maybe I should just use some Apple service for it since I only own Apple devices. What do people use to sync their photos?
pqoek··on Indistinguishability Obfuscation from Well-Founded Assumptions
FHE:

- I encrypt data Encrypt(key, data) = ciphertext1

- you operate on encrypted data f(ciphertext1) = ciphertext2

- I decrypt the result to obtain Decrypt(key, ciphertext2) = f(data)

for iO it's more like: I give you the algorithm to encrypt your data: some_algorithm(data) = Encrypt(key, data)

but you can't figure out what "key" is, even though you have the code and it's not some remote service
