You can think “there should be a law” without endorsing the reckless and inconsistent ways that Indian regulatory agencies make up laws.

Do we need a more profound solution than what the maintainer is doing here? Any given bug is either: a) nonsense in which case nobody should spend any time fixing this (I'm thinking things like the frontend DDOS CVEs that are common) b

This is very reasonable if you have compliance needs or similar. That’s not what this office is saying - it’s saying teams is more secure. This is wrong. The nature of banning private messaging apps is trading security for legibility. If th

What implementation of end to end encryption doesn't involve this?

Perhaps Europe should try building their own tech industry so they have fewer problems like this.

I found Kubernetes insanely intuitive coming from the frontend world. I was used to writing code that took in data and made the UI react to that - now I write code that the control panel uses reconciles resources with config.

You can go decompose the binary and check (or monitor network activity). WhatsApp has been audited for implementing E2E encryption and consistently passed.

Disagree. This is a natural consequence of government anti-trust becoming less principled (what I mean by that is that the consumer welfare standard is somewhat objective even if you feel it's suboptimal). It's easier for companie

Even the US must easily run into this constraint.

Funny because tailscale arbitrarily expires tokens on machines and doesn’t expose a way to see token age to the user (but does allow your IT admin to renew a token).

Yep I've done something similar. This is the only way I managed to compile Google's C++ S2 library (spatial indexing) which depends on absl and OpenSSL. (I managed to avoid infecting my project with boringSSL)

A lot of airports are privately or quasi privately (Canada has a non profit called NavCanada) run which allows for advance planning of CapEx instead of depending on Congress. The US system where the FAA oversees and runs ATC is, to put it n

I live in a neighborhood with delivery drones. I'm correct.

You can run LLMs locally pretty easily, especially if you have a Mac (the unified memory architecture of Macs is really good at this). It's a niche thing but caring about Free Software is niche.

Delivery drones are larger and therefore quieter (larger propellor = more pleasant tone and lower RPM) and fly higher than the consumer drones you’re probably familiar with.

Privacy advocates, by-and-large, don't engage with the fact that people are often willing to trade their data for value. Surely some people are under-informed and wouldn't if they fully understood the tradeoffs but there are some

Java KeyStore is so awful, I cannot believe it became a thing. It single-handedly disqualified Spinnaker (the Netflix K8s deployment thing) for me.

The 22 in India are just the ones the government recognizes and sometimes communicates in. There’s way more (low hundreds I think).

This is costing Coinbase $400M. They are well incentivized to prevent this.

Feels like half of this thread didn't read or ignored his last line: "Innovative new products would get much rarer without super cheap and scalable compute, of course."

Kerala has extremely aggressive out-migration (including my entire family): it is a bad place to be ambitious, particularly with the France-like union culture. If India is to become China-rich or Mexico-rich, my prediction is Kerala will re

It's dumb to buy this device and turn on the setting. Just don't buy the device.

This is especially notable when you consider African states are bad at basically everything you'd expect a state to be able to do but are apparently very capable of this.

Costly events occurred… so costs went up. Best Buy’s profit margin hovers around 3% and Target’s around 4%, they’re not raking in money.

The idea that Google is "evidently incompetent" for failing to resolve memory safety issues in their decades-old, giant codebase is dumb.

You could download the app, disconnect Wifi and Ethernet, run the app and the reclamation process, remove the app (remember, you have the guarantees of the macOS App Store so no kernel extensions etc), and then reconnect. Edit: this might n
