HN can stay out of politics just fine for the most part. If a political topic comes into tech we can talk about it then, and stay out of other crap that insufferable people drag in because "there's no such thing as being neutral&q

Open source means "you can see the code for what you run". Except... how do you know that your executables were actually built from that code? You either trust your distro, or you build it yourself, which can be a hassle. Now that

Based on your first sentence I thought you were going to talk about the government shutting down church services, which was a talking point on the other side. I think in either case, the first amendment would allow for the government to imp

I don't know what's going on with HN right now, there usually is a lot more reading comprehension and level headed conversation, even on controversial topics.

I think I did a poor job of articulating my point. My point is that they've spoken their intent to smash the bureaucratic state. Their intent is not to dismantle 100% of the government, including the military and the nuclear bombs. So

Okay cool. Well maybe I misinterpreted, but it sounded like the person I was responding to in my initial post was implying that it was on purpose. Or at very least, they would have to imply that it was on purpose for their argument to make

It's kind of funny, when execs talk about employees feeling entitled to working remotely, I think that's a fair thing to criticize. We all earn our salaries and our perks, the market determines how much companies will put up with

What is your model of this group of people behind DOGE? If it's a group of radical right wingers with libertarian leaning who want to smash the bureaucratic state, that's probably accurate and most people (even supporters) can get

Could you imagine any Project 2025 type wanting the government to disband the military? I imagine not. So why would they want to lose control of the nukes? I think in the case of the nukes it was just a ham-fisted attempt to downsize the

And again, I'm responding to another post (two, actually) about intent. If you have an issue with it, take it up with them. I acknowledge your point as fair, but a separate point.

by orblivion 2y ago
That's fair, but the initial point I was replying to was about intent.

by orblivion 2y ago
I don't necessarily disagree, but unless they're literally ready to jump to anarcho-capitalism in the next four years I don't think they're trying to let the nuclear bombs go unattended. I think the specific examples you

I think if your argument is that they're making hasty decisions, you've provided good evidence for that. But the remainder of the sentence you quoted was: > but an intentional plan to visit each government department and giving

The standard for "qualifying" is 2 catches per ball. He got 24 catches here.

Yeah, it's not "Don't tread on the executive branch". Quite the opposite.

Okay that's fair. But as I said to autoexec, if your point includes that you don't rely on the encryption to be safe, you should probably include that in your point. A lot of people probably don't share that as a prior. (I su

Okay, so you not only take issue with PIN+SGX, you think that any encryption scheme (at least from Signal) isn't secure enough. Your point still comes down to "they are storing sensitive information in a form that is ostensibly en

by orblivion 2y ago
Maybe via metadata? The size of the information, etc. Do you mean that they should have a caveat about that? Or if you want to be literal, you have to say that they're storing sensitive information even if it's encrypted. But by c

by orblivion 2y ago
You cited this so I think this is what you mean: "Signal is designed to never collect or store any sensitive information." I interpret this, I think reasonably, to not include encrypted information. For that matter they collect (b

Following the conversation down, it sounds like what you're really saying is that Signal stores sensitive information encrypted with PIN+SGX, which is controversial. And maybe you have a good argument for why it's bad (and I'

You know one of the hard questions here must be, what configuration exactly is it simulating? It has to be a configuration that simulates the same Game of Life at a higher scale. Any change you make to the configuration must also change the

Okay, thank you. From what you're saying, it doesn't sound like the OS-based polling would be more power efficient, as someone in this chain suggested, just more reliable. Though, I think you can just turn off battery optimization

So ntfy Android app polls a ntfy service. (Which is more efficient than each app polling separately) What does Google's Android library do if not also poll? Does it run a server on the phone? Does it get special signals from cell tower

Awesome. One major caveat is that because of Sandstorm's draconian security (I mean this in a good way), a handful of ntfy's features won't work because they use special headers. Mastodon works so I'm assuming they use t
