Smart, but there is a way to force your (faceid/touchid) iphone to require your password by holding the power button to get to the "slide to power off" screen.


May I also add that I really appreciate your plain english privacy summary. The first thing that I think about when using a tool like this how my data can be used without my permission for various nefarious purposes. I do appreciate your effort to leave things client side and to save/load data from the client as well.


Sure thing! From the beginning I set out to be as respectful as possible of people's data, but I gathered from the last HN post that I needed to improve some of the communication on that. Hopefully the summary helps, as well as some of the new data storage options for subscribers.


Crack open the set and ground the antenna? Idk, I’m tempted to find a nice model and figure out an adapter to go from eDP to the panel’s actual interface.


I don’t think that’s how it works. Police officers can and frequently do issue unlawful orders, and you have no legal obligation to comply with those unlawful orders.


There's no law against a police officer stating a request in an authoritative voice, fishing to see if you'll just go ahead and comply. It's on us to clarify whether that's a request or a lawful order.


Where can I find more information about the details of the interface of the modem firmware (ASIC) and the real time software?


Here is an interesting paper on the architecture of an LTE modem. Seems like a reasonable approach, although I don't know how prevalent this approach is. RFIC, some dedicated hardware for the PHY DSP stuff and an ARM chip for the high level logic, all connected via AXI bus.

Call up Qualcomm and offer millions of dollars?


I can’t believe so many people are not picking up your humor! XD


Either people didn't read the article, or assumed I hadn't read the article.


"Cute" reddit-style posts are generally not well received here.


Who's fault could this be?


It’s the fault of the creator and the community and is on purpose. This site is meant to be for more intellectual discussion and not cheap quips. If you want threads full of one sentence and derailing comments you can visit Reddit: this site is engineered to /not/ become like Reddit.


It's not really fair to pin "fault" on anyone in particular for the culture that develops on any given social media site. These things just kinda emerge.


I think hn itself is a counterpoint to your assertion. The toxic culture hasn't really "emerged" here as it has on countless other platforms, due primarily to ruthless call-out/moderation/shadow banning etc.


Humor isn't toxic. What's toxic is the vituperative snark, contemptuous elitism, low-effort cynicism and outright hatred this community breeds and that dang constantly has to put down because (among other reasons) we have to be pedantic humorless prigs about everything.

I'll take more dumb jokes over yet another diatribe on how Twitter's latest moderation policy changes will lead to mass graves and white genocide any day.


I didn't mean to imply that the particular cultures of the various social media websites are "toxic", they're just all different. Each site has their own style of talking, peculiar grammar rules, appropriate topics, and memes, and all of those things exist on HN too, at least to some extent.

HN post topics are restricted, usually to technical stories or less controversial political topics. Comments tend to be precisely worded, and are often more pedantic. Because of how linking works (or rather doesn't), citations often use a particular format. Comedy is generally discouraged, though is accepted more if (like in Traster's top-level comment in this thread) there's also "legitimate" point attached. If that comment hadn't included the second paragraph, it would probably have been downvoted. All of that is part of the culture of HN, and I wouldn't necessarily call any of it toxic. Some of it follows directly from the site rules and moderation, some follows from the technical limitations of the site, and some just emerges from the sorts of people who happen to use the site.


While occasional humor is welcome, if we reward it too much, then the comments will be full of low-quality jokes. I think most readers here aren’t looking for that.


The housing market in the Santa Cruz mountains is exploding as people from the city are buying homes in the mountains, enabled by WFH policies.


Yeah, though, once offices reopen and the remote employees are being passed over for promotions and raises, I suspect they'll be back right quick.


Or maybe people will decide that as long as they can afford to live in the Santa Cruz mountains, all the office crap doesn't really matter very much. More generally I expect a lot of people are rethinking their priorities.


If the difference in cost and quality of living this enables is sufficient maybe fewer people will chase promotions.


Heck, even single family homes on the Peninsula and in the East Bay are flying off the market as people leave the metro areas and look for places with yards and pools.


Yeah. I've been strongly thinking it's time to sell my house in the peninsula.


The Teachings of Don Juan - Carlos Castaneda


I first read The Art of Dreaming. Then I started with The Teachings of Don Juan and read all of the 10+ books in the series. I also read the book that was written by the women from his party. Really enjoyed all of it.


How has ML/AI impacted the HFT scene?


It hasn't really, at least not in production. Academics are now publishing a lot of papers using Deep Learning or RL, but you won't usually see those in live systems.

In live systems, latency is usually more important than a "better" model - A model that takes milliseconds to make slightly better predictions is too slow when you're working on nano- to microsecond scales, often on specialized hardware. Really, the "AI" part is less important in HFT than you may think. It's often more system/infrastructure.

This is for HFT specifically, perhaps it has had more impact on longer time horizons, or something like portfolio management. My impression is (but I may be wrong) that there aren't that many people doing something in between HFT and much longer (minutes to days) time horizons, something like milliseconds to seconds. Maybe there is an opportunity there for some of the newer AI techniques.


Maybe I'm missing something, but I can see how this would apply to a platform providing end-to-end encryption and how restricting that is a bad thing. What's to stop someone from using, e.g. PGP in an email? Isn't that outside the scope of this?


Maybe.

... or maybe the Attorney General can declare that a service that allows PGP-encrypted communiques is in violation and will lose its 230 protections. The law as constructed is way over-broad.


There aren't PGP plugins for mobile apps and people wouldn't use them if there were.


K9mail has at least two


Really?

I run this one:

Seems rather like it exists to me.
