Theoretically speaking, labour shortage should affect economy in a way that wages rise to attract more people, right? Why aren't we seeing something like that?

I have worked on multiple apps from global top 500, we had a little bit of NDK for videos and WebRTC. But that code was written in the times when there was no widely used non-NDK APIs for media. Right now landscape is very different: NDK i

So much to unpack here, surprised the article didn't try to address this: what is the reason for that? Surely after 8 years this person might have looked back on failed relationships, and tried to understand why they've failed. Is

I can relate to that. Fell of a bike last week going 15-20 kph, my backpack with 14" MBP M1 fell on the pavement and slided a few meters -- not a scratch (or dent) on that thing. And there's nothing in my backpack to soften the bl

ESNI is no longer relevant since it's vulnerable to a few attacks. It's ECH now. But it seems too late: some countries have already prohibited it via laws and regulations [1]. It may help other countries making censorship/int

JFYI: Even if you use 3rd party DNS so that ISP doesn't spoof DNS records for some domains, domains are still present in plaintext in TLS encrypted traffic due to Server Name Identification (SNI). It seems that most of internet censors

>Some countries have unstable currencies and to use USD you need to pay a hefty fee. And the solution to this is using unstable internet money which are being accepted by a handful of stores? Sounds about right.

What’s even the difference between «owning your digital identity» with email/password vs any other authentication method? Why does it even matter [0]? You don’t own any data connected to that digital identity [1]. I might be a bit on a

Lots of experts have been predicting a crash for at least a few years now, but none of them are saying what's the catalyst. Right now there's a huge inflation, unimaginable valuations, lots of retail investors -- yet nothing has t

Also note that DNS queries might be overridden by your ISP. I've seen a few ISPs override DNS queries to 8.8.8.8 and respond with their own stuff. It might not be the case for 1.1.1.1 since it's not that popular.

"Privacy fears" is a bold description. You can't hide from the government in Moscow. They have all data from mobile operators – they know where your phone is at all times. They've installed cameras on almost every single

Most likely nothing in most countries. At least that's what my experience was with something way more suspicious – pouch with a lead layer, I use it for transporting film so it won't get damaged by xrays. Around 60% of the times n

First, this doesn't change my opinion on CSAM, I still consider the thing way too intrusive until Apple announces E2E for iCloud. Now, I can't really call something I voluntarily uploaded to Apple's servers a "private pi

That was a bloody genius marketing: do something absolutely unexpected first – gain a lot of articles on this, announce complete 180 just a week later – same thing, tons of articles about your company.

Yes, but cryptographic hashes are irrelevant here because they'd allow to easily bypass CSAM by modifying/appending a single byte.

I don't really get what this repository is trying to achieve and what's the point of collecting collisions. Collisions will happen, that's just how it is with hashes. It's already a public knowledge that Apple has 2 more

The problem with that claim is that it's verifiable – you could spend time reverse engineering apps from Google and/or looking at their outgoing traffic with a proxy. And there quite a few people who do exactly that, yet no-one ma

Hard to say because no-one had an opportunity to benchmark RTX 3060. Theoretically I'd be mostly worried about everything related to huge amounts hashing (eg. bruteforcing password hashes).

Agreed that it’s not possible to know for sure what’s going on. But it’s not the first time this kind of stuff happens however it’s the first time action was taken.

Pretty much, but that isn’t the idea behind this block. Someone used ProtonMail to send a lot of different bomb threats to the police. Because of this block police now have some legal ground to ignore those threats.

It might sound a little bit too harsh, but I totally agree with you. Furthermore, provided examples are missing search step – there's no need to come up with solution, because solution is explicitly specified in task description.
