anticrymactic

At face value: yes of course.

The relevance of this story does not come from a obvious "wrong" in the support of political value X. Infact Mullvad is clearly politically active, supporting "individual-privacy" in legislation processes multiple times. This is expected. The 'problem' is build from multiple assumptions.

1. Owner, Co-Owner, director, etc. Have direct immediate unchecked control over "the product" 2. The actual content of far-X Politics in inheritly unpopular. Else it wouldn't be "Far" from anything. This is also why propaganda and populism are necessary. 3. Far-X politics DEPENDS on direct control (information and excercise) because of (2.)

Therefore --> Owner Opinions become Company opinions. And owner(company) supports ideological politics that are fundamentally opposed to product and broader HN views.

In my experience: Everything™ works, except Google pay unfortunately.

Crypto where the OS (or a website) can ask the card: "Is the holder of that card over X years old y/n?" and the card would just answer with a binary yes no question without exposing any other data while still checking the government signature.

This is the same as "What's the card holders age" by simply binary searching for it. A better way would be:

1. Have the card define the countries age access levels. (Example in Germany: >=16 [Beer/Wine], >=18 everything else)

2. The app can only ask: "Is [BEER] allowed for the card holder y/n?

This makes it immediately cross-legislative and protects the exposed data from meta analysis.

Edit: This would allow for self exclusion too. Make it possible for individuals to give up access to gambling/alcohol/tabacco/porn nationally.

Like nixOS?

While this would solve the technical problem at hand. It lacks any safeguard against a very simple workaround of sharing your certificate or even posting for everyone to use.

Fullly anonymous + untraceable attestation --> unlimited certificate sharing

Unsurprisingly this is also today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD)

How so?

Since when is slop-producing ad-machine social media the only access to speech, press and association?

Why is that problematic? They don't have your private keys and their "level of access" is equivalent to any other certificate authority that your browser trusts.

Let's Encrypt could stop issuing certificates to you, if the administration decided that necessary. This would at least disrupt whatever you were serving. Not that I think this is likely, only possible.

I think LE clealy demonstrated the need for a accessible free ACME authority. But it is high time for more alternatives (EU and China at least). FWIW: Everything around public infrastructure should be run decentralized not-for-profit using national resources. Things like DNS Registrars are silly if you think about it. They just buy it from TLD holders anyway.

Just like C++ never killed C, despite being perfect replacement for it

I think c++ didn't replace C because it is a bad language. It did not offer any improvements on the core advantages of C.

Rust however does. It's not perfect, but it has a substantially larger chance of "replacing" C, if that ever happens.

Let's encrypt supports ACME. Here are hundreds of ways to obtain a certificate:

https://letsencrypt.org/docs/client-options/#other-client-op...

so that they don't have to do const $=document.getElementById,

``` const window.$ = (q)=>document.querySelector(q); ``` Emulates the behavior much better. This is already set on modern version of browsers[1]

Actually, for Robotics hardware is a solved problem.

I understand the sentiment but this couldn't be further from the truth. There are no robotic hand models that get close to the fidelity of humans (or even other primates).

The technology just doesn't exist yet, motors are a terrible muscle replacement. Even completely without software, a puppeteered hand model would be revolutionary.

PayPal and Apple pay take a significant cut of the transaction. CC is a lot less and bank is mostly free of TX fees. Most users don't know/don't care, so given the option, they will likely take it and funnel their donations to conglomerates.

You can use ReVanced on Android to block the ads in the YouTube app

Be careful. It is trivial for others to take advantage of such selfless kindness.

What harm does is do? Altruistic kindness is not affected by the response. That's the point. Being "exploited" for kindness is not possible, it's not a currency.

Ingratitude is common, as is sociopathy.

Source? If anything, most anecdotes point to the opposite, gratitude and kindness is extremely common.

Which is why they’re so bad at maths for instance.

I don't think LLMs currently are intelligent. But please show a GPT-5 chat where it gets any math problem wrong, that most "intelligent" people would get right.

Or they could just tell you. Imagine talking to someone over and over again. They would tell u to get on with wherever you promised them.

Most banking app work, either directly or with a settings change to allow Google Play Service emulation. [1]

Average users benefit greatly from their pocket appliance not being a full fledged computer.

In what way? Seriously, what benefit is there? (And don't say security...)

A lot of discussion is about the security of these devices (resistance to false open states). But most of the time the safety (false closed states) has even higher stakes associated to it. Having to wait because some api server is slow is annoying but can quickly become life threatening in a different context. Fail-Safe vs Fail-Secure is (imo) often overlooked and probably just as important as the actual implemented security.

It's a link, what privacy can one expect?

Especially with short links there's always the possibility of entering ~6 characters and getting a hit. So I believe expecting any secrecy from urls is silly.

That's like posting your passwords on Twitter because "Why would anyone find my account"

Could charging in the ignition be good enough to keep it full? Or a secondary dock at home?

I don't really like the idea of short term key batteries, but it sounds like bmw can improve the current system a lot.

I'm genuinely so interested what this ecosystem is? Where do you use it? How does it help you?

I have asked every apple user around me and they just tell me about photo sync and iCloud.

Call me old, but I don't think users want AI. Apple summary's turned out barely helpful and that was the big, simple and easy AI application. Instead of a working voice assistant, what uses does AI (LLM) have on a smartphone?

turn out to be same bullshit as moralistic obesity explanations ("just lazy and can't control yourself!") recently turned out to be.

Any reading on that?

A forward slash at the end usually does the trick for me.

homeserver -> Google

homeserver/ -> http://homeserver/

This could be different in game dev, but in the last years of writing rust (outside of learning the language) I very rarely need to index any collection.

There is a very certain way rust is supposed to be used, which is a negative on it's own, but it will lead to a fulfilling and productive programming experience. (My opinion) If you need to regularly index something, then you're using the language wrong.

Isn't that the beauty of self hosting? How could anything be enforced on user-controlled servers? Practically everything self-hosted is open source and how would enforcing anything would even work?

This feels really weird. You announce an extension to a problem that doesn't exist (see other comments about .json), while the extension itself is not even released yet. With the only options being to subscribe to a newsletter or "get the zip via email"?

"Getting via Email" will also just subscribe you to the newsletter...

What is the plan here?

Last times catch was incredible, anything groundbreaking being attempted this time?
