What if the EULA applies to a software product you have bought for money and have received a copy of? If it does not include an EULA, are you not allowed to use it? Does the same hold for computer games with an EULA? Or does the existence o

Oh, that's a very misleading by Facebook. I have "Status privacy" and "Last seen" set to no one, I assumed that included "If I am online right now".

Just checked if I was affected and happily I found I'd set every possible setting to private or disabled. I figure five eyes already had this information. I think they would have tools to decrypt all communications from any app, by usi

Rust has a WebAssembly backend :-) All we need a web framework written in Rust which includes the generation of client-side code. Paired with incremental compiles (yet to land in stable AFAIK) that should be pretty awesome. Edit: nose

The Fourth Amendment is interpreted quite differently in border zones; the side of the Government is generally weighed significantly heavier "because terrorism".

It's not like the TSA has publicly visible and strict guidelines they are held to. All it takes is the word to spread through the DMZ.

Are you for real? Is this really the world most of my friends live in?

Xubuntu is lovely, but for the last year I've been on i3/IceWeasel/urxvt exclusively. So much faster and more convenient than clicking and dragging around all the time. When friends want to use my desktop I change my DE to XF

The wifi story has been stable for years now, at least on Debian 8. When you have Intel wifi you'll have to enable the non-free repo, and that's about the extent of it.

The jargon grinds on me, but it does look interesting. I added to my interesting decentralized/federated protocols collection.

Why would the standard of evidence for US totalitarianism be higher than for Chinese totalitarianism? Because "it's obvious in the case of China"?

You've never been to a farmer's market? There's a thing called "chilling effects". People stop talking about "risky" subjects because they know they can get prosecuted arbitrarily for it. The gameplan is s

by cryptarch 9y ago
I'd say yes, but I also think it's a pointless question. Do these tangents on "the US bad too" and "no China worse" bore anyone else?
44.
by cryptarch 9y ago
For me, no. Fuck all of them. I particularly hate Facebook though, for turning most everyone around me into US informants. If I see the opportunity to contribute to their obsoletion I'll dedicate years of my life to that.

... and even pinning won't save you unless you use a tool to monitor your connections and confirm you actually are using the cert your browser is saying you're using. I'm not entirely sure it's possible to build such a t

Would both subjective moralities taken to the extreme arrive at similarly harmful conclusions, though? 1. Not giving your child tattoos, piercings or a circumcision. 2. Female genital mutilation.

At first I thought it was a data donation, but it seems like it's only API integration with support. Still pretty cool as an alternative to Bing satellite data, I guess it's pretty unlikely we'll have open-licensed satellite

I'm sorry, I don't work on site - some bad apples ruined it for the whole bunch. Somehow that sounds more reasonable to me. I'd like to work on-site, but I don't want to abuse it... This one too, actually; you have s

I do that, I try to find loopholes and edge cases to better define my mental model and then test them against the knowledge of people who know better than me. I figure GGP is trying to do the same, and not sending in a paper to Nature righ

ISP email or any provider that doesn't ask for a secondary account, like Mail.com.

Oh, so it's about the high complexity and many interoperating parts? I'm just asking because I was born in the 90's, I'm not very aware of the state of email server management then.

You mean because it is now considered a basic requirement to have failover and horizontal scaling?

Not in the next 3,5 years, no.

Indeed, a group that provides funding might be aligned with truth and progress, but that's just one of the many options and often there are many conflicting values and incentives at play.

Very wholesome, meme/10. I wish I could up- and downvote at the same time; I feel like discussions belong at the top and memes at the bottom, but I also enjoy the bits of humor and less information-dense posts at HN, because they help

I'm aware of how Result works, I've written a little Rust. I was wondering how Rust libraries specifically deal with non-fatal error handling in parts of the library that are abstracted away from the library consumer, such as my e

I'm suggesting it is an odd assumption that government-backed science would be less prone to conflicts of interest than commerce-/corporate-backed science. I find it hard to understand the conflict of interest with government-back

by cryptarch 9y ago
To be very precise in the questions they ask.

I'm of the impression that they want to replace government-backed science with commerce-backed science here. I think they have the right idea; everone knows following the market is a moral imperative, that smoking is attractive and you

Also doesn't sound like it will result in "more input from outside scientific bodies", because the budget for that got cut by 84%... By the way, was that a euphemism for commerce-backed science? Like the science done for cosm
