> Techradar even said "This could be the most secure VPN around today".

This quote is very telling of journalism today. Many internet publications and YouTube videos are just listcle machines and company marketing hype generators with very little actual investigative work.

Free college and healthcare aren't really free. You just pay later through taxes and/or lower salaries because of business taxes.

I definitely do not like how big platforms are imposing their morals on users. The issue is how would this sort of system (assuming this is possible) protect against CP and other things that really do need to be blocked?

Ahhh, I see. Good joke, you have my upvote. :)

I assume that means it is missing the tight integration with wsl which is my primary use case.

Off topic, but is there meaning behind your name or is it just two things you like? (Yes I know who/what Godel and Unicode are)

> Eg they could tax land value. It's very hard to move land out of the country or hide it.

Remote work would be their solution.

Privacy.com

I think this is a fair enough position. I don't expect every device to be easily repairable, especially a gen 1 device. They already have enough trouble getting it to fit into a size that is usable. They give clear reasons for you not to do repairs yourself, but they don't impose any arbitrary restrictions. If you want to void your warranty, they give you the full freedom and knowledge to do so.

_What the hell are you doing Mozilla._ In an age of massive distrust for companies, you are (were?) one of the few companies that had both age and some trust. So many other companies promise privacy but are extremely young. There are so many other directions you could go! Why would you chip away at the value of your greatest asset!?

I continue to use Firefox because I want to avoid a chromium monopoly. Yet I don't see any plan by Mozilla to avoid being reliant on their direct competitor.

Looks cool, but sad there is no NFC support.

> Facebook PR: “Today a Senate Commerce subcommittee held a hearing with a former product manager at Facebook who worked for the company for less than two years, had no direct reports, never attended a decision-point meeting with C-level executives — and testified more than six times to not working on the subject matter in question.”

Where does it mention her character??

Literally the first line of their first article.[0] This article is just a technical explanation.

I don't think the data supports their conclusion.

> the Facebook outage started at 15:24 UTC.

> Between 21:00 UTC and midnight, we saw roughly a 2.6x increase in the number of Pull Requests being merged.

> midnight UTC aligns with 17:00 Pacific time (where many Haystack customers are located).

So even according to their own metrics, there were 5 and a half hours where the issue was (at least partially) occuring but there was no change.

Right now I just have Dropbox, but soon I plan to get a NAS and just have it sync to Dropbox. That way I get the convience of Dropbox while also still having a backup if Dropbox fails.

Simple: Facebook will be stopped when people decide to stop using it or reduce their time on the platform. All the information about their privacy abuses are quite public and people still choose to use the product. I am well aware and I use that information to use it in an informed way (limited usage only on desktop, Firefox container, and more). Yes yes, inside the HN bubble it does seem to be popular. But in the normal world it doesn't seem like enough people care to me. Facebook will change once their is a mass movement to pull at their purse strings.

In a free society, people are allowed to surrender some freedom and privacy if they choose. It seems like what Facebook offers is worth the cost to the average person.

As much as this is a cool feature, the distoypian anti-privacy laws Australia [0] (where Fastmail is based) prevents me from ever using their service. I know it isn't their fault but it has to be said.

WhatsApp only just recently told me this was a feature. So yea I assume it was only fully rolled out around now.

I agree with you there, I don't agree with people that are against moving at all or even making it something important. I guess I just hear a lot of people act like the transition is trivial.

Also about the energy production doubling do you have a source?

> easily

For for a couple of places yes. For the literal global economy it will take years to make the switch. I think renewable energy is great and we should definitely switch to it. But the sheer scale of the transition is enormous.

Really, not even one source?

Poor Bobby tables....

Someone from Italy should make a fork of Java called "Cappuccino"?

But a bot isn't a person. And you don't have to reveal who made the bot, just that it's a bot. Can you give me a good use case for a bot that is not some kind of manipulation and would still benifit from humans not knowing it's a bot? Usually you want people to know so they aren't confused why the account acts werid i.e. unhuman.

To me (who doesn't use Twitter) this seems like a fair solution. If you are running a legitimate bot I don't see what you have to hide. It's only people trying to be intentionally deceptive that have to worry.

Source please?

Ironic to see so many HN people complaining that their Android app missed the hype train but HN is usually where I go to get my daily dose of React hate. If they had used react native they might have released them at the same time.

According to a sister comment, the paper contains a meta-proof that shows that many of the gaps do not matter in showing the equivalence.[0] I don't know if this is true or not, I'm just connecting the discussions.

This is extra problematic because pcloud doesn't encrypt files by default.

(It does have its "secure vault" but you can't sync it to your computer and costs a significant extra fee to use. You may as well use cryptomator)

Wow that is amazing...how can I donate? I've wanted an easy way to make animated memes for a while...
