Heard this one about microsoft on HN as well. How did that turn out?

Companies culture tend to degrade over time, rarely improve.

It's perfectly faire therefore to requiere overwhelming demonstration of good faith to invalidate such a massive bad behavior.

They Never did So they deserve the PR hit.

Which honestly they didn't take nearly as much as they should have.

Stop defending the billion dollars corps. They have proved over and over they are not our friends.

At best our interests are temporarily aligned.

People working for them are not innocent either. They know the company past, they signed their contracts, and stayed despite the culture.

There is such thing as free will, they have their responsability too.

The "a few bad apples" argument is old and tired now. And the "not all People have a choice" have been repeated a nauseam.

What bad PR? When it was released that Apple let the gov suck all the user data throught the PRISM programme, as there any drawback?

No. Most People just shrugged. Gag order, they were forced, not their fault.

Why would you even remotely believe that they are not under a similar situation with the current admin? It's just ridiculously naïve.

In fact, with the recent ledger scandal we know you can bypass good hardware security in clever ways if you are an external actor.

But in this case the actor is just Apple, they can do whatever they want. And Tim Cook offered a gold bribe to trump in public, so we know for a fact they are under pressure.

We know Apple have cheated in the past (the home button scandal). We know they have a lied about privacy (turned out 3rd party contractors had access to your siri conversation).

Your position is just not credible in 2026. It's the xkcd wrench vs encryption type of argument, and it ignores two decades of history.

Reading such argument on HN tells me Snowden did throw away his life for nothing, damn.

And again you have to take their word for it because it's proprietary.

And even if it did work as expected, given the track record of 3 lettres agences, the chance they didn't gag order their way into a back door for this one is also very low.

I find it naïve that after what we learned for the last 20 years people still believe this PR.

Bimdump.com.

It's just a gtd inbox and consumes nothing, but I can just empty my mind and save my adhd brain from drifting to all those butteflies.

Bots are going to love this.

It worked for google and facebook. Oh wait...

postgres in asic however...

Anyway, my claude.md contains only this:

The generalist aspect of jev is what is good about it. Old classifiers tended to be specialized, not good at ambiquity or limited.

LLM were used as classifiers because they solved that.

Jev have the flexibility of LLM and the perf and api of classifiers.

Mandatory intel quote:

> A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision

Obsolete today. What we need is reminding ourselves that we should held accountable the people behind the computer. There is always one in the chain, sometimes a CEO.

It is exotic, and bring only a little to the table for a stiff price increase.

Fun game, but very hard, and teaches you the danger of debt quite early in life.

But the 2 advisers were so funny!

It's virtually the case, google and apple accounts require ID verification, which in turn can be requested by the gov in case of an investigation.

I agree this dichotomy exists and find it useful to ponder for balancing your life.

But there is another more specific one in your context: objects are to be respected vs objects are to be useful.

My mother takes a lot of care of her objects. Her stuff lasts for very long.

Mine don't, but my life is much easier than hers because I don't think twice about making something dirty or worn. It's not alive; it's meant to make my life easier, we built it for it.

Again there is a balance: go too far and you get bad ROI out of your object.

But books fall very much into that category for me. I write on them, cut pages, turn them into a mess. They get a wild life, and then I discard them.

They are not trophies or decoration. They are not sacred.

And yet I may buy the same one 5 times for many friends, or just because I messed one up.

Thanks, much clearer that way. The speaker is unusually eloquent and to the point for a very nerdy demo, they should put that on their home page.

I'd wager starlink is mostly military with the cover of civilian use case.

> One of the many legacies of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 is the government-wide shift from targeted surveillance—such as individual wiretaps or pen register/trap and trace orders—to mass surveillance techniques—such as tapping into the internet backbone or mass collection of telephone or internet metadata.

In other words, we gave the terrorists the victory by accepting being terrorized at the country level from a single act and destroying a lot of our freedom. Yeah us.

I recently made a app to privately share places to eat with friends and got to use osm data extensively.

It's extremely dev friendly, they have a daily planetary diff you can download and just update your local copy.

A lot of data is missing or is obsolete in the south of France, so I created an account to contribute.

It got banned as spam, so I contacted them to ask what was wrong. A human answered in the following hour and they restored my access immediatly.

They have a better dev experience and support than google.

Teens don't pay for tokens.

Now that pyodide is mature, we can test a single snippet from Python 3.9 to 3.14 in a web page, it's quite handy.

There are other projects like this, some with full notebooks capabilities. This one is more oriented towards snippet sharing like jsfiddle.

It has a virtual file system, so you actually can use sqlite!

It also means in the future, one could add multiple module supports, and pip install (albeit with a proxy) and numpy support.

After xkeyscore and prism, it would be naive to say otherwise.

They are backdoors, with not even very good plausible deniability.

It's so on the nose it's comical.

There are already American backdoors on intel and AMD chips everywhere, we call them ME and PSP. Switching to chinese tech won't make it worse.

Now, if the EU would start make to make chips that have no subsystem to screw me over, that would be something.

This indeed works very well, most device are not very well locked down because of proje t resources limitation, and this opens a new era of hacking.

Unminifying, deobfuscating, api probing, hardware scanning and firmware decompiling are all operations that benefit a lot from AI.

This will start a new cat and mouse race, as it's also cheaper than ever to add friction to prevent those with AI as well and companies will notice soon. They historically hate hacking despite the fact a lot of success in their field can be directly traced back to it.

Very happy that it's still maintain, because that's the only real framework that allow an easy dev for a decently fast app with one code base that works on linux, windows, mac, ios and android at once.

It's super nice.

It's way worse than that, it's an attack to the entire society.

The vast majority of ads lie; therefore, they are actively harmful. They create a situation where being surrounded by false things is normal. They promote the improvement of tools to make deception and tracking better and better.

On top of that, they install evil incentives for the medias, the news, and business models, influencing consumption, public options and opinions.

Finally, they concentrate power in those who already have enough money to pay for ads. You may have the better product, but a big player with better PR will win.

Ads are one of our most destructive creations. It's much, much more dangerous than it looks.

I read this comment in a same way I read "Microsoft in not that bad" comments in 2020.

This is why bad people keep inheriting the earth. We keep forgiving them and they keep doing their crap.

Since 9/11, the war on anonymity was always strong in the US.

Yeah I first read it as he turned his server into a calling device.

Surprisingly, one thing that tremendously helped my sleep quality, and several persons around is wim hof breathing.

I used to do it in the morning, and my brother recommanded I'd switch to just before sleep.

The difference is stark in effects, and you fall asleep like a baby even when stressed, using red light, with heat waves, etc...

Given it's free and don't have the side effects of regular melatonin supplement, I would encourage every one to give it at least a one week trial.
