Proton Mail CEO Calls New Address Verification Feature 'Blockchain in a Very Pure Form' (tech.slashdot.org)

Proton Mail, the leading privacy-focused email service, is making its first foray into blockchain technology with Key Transparency, which will allow users to verify email addresses. From a report: In an interview with Fortune, CEO and founder Andy Yen made clear that although the new feature uses blockchain, the key technology...

herr,

I would strongly assume Protonmail will be doing this automatically soon, there’s no manual day-to-day verification necessary.

Writing to the Blockchain is difficult and takes processing power, reading from it is absolutely trivial though.

herr,

Having been on Linux for over a year now, I don’t. It’s still plagued by instability, weird bugs, and big limitations whenever non-Steam games are involved.

herr,

It’s more likely to be down to incompetence. I can’t imagine the party UV lights are more expensive than the fuck-you-up UV lights.

EDIT: Someone else mentioned these might’ve been used during COVID for sanitation, and are extremely cheap leftover wares now that the pandemic is “over”, which would actually make them a lot cheaper.

herr,

Pretty sure they just type it in manually. See named tags in git.

herr,

I’ve definitely had it hallucinate a feature sending me on a red herring hunt on several occasions now… Sometimes I wish I’d just used StackOverflow to begin with, but then with StackOverflow I sometimes wish I’d just read the documentation to begin with.

Alas, it won’t be a hit 100% of the time and will occasionally send you the long way round. Just like StackOverflow. But even despite this property, nobody would tell you to NEVER use StackOverflow because it SOMETIMES takes way too long to find the answer to a question easily glanced from the docs.

herr,

I know some of these words

herr,

You absolutely can, but trademarks need to be domain-specific. And the social media platform and the window system don’t have much overlap in their respective domains.

herr,

At they very least, I think short-distance flights need to be made way more expensive. Like a 70€ minimum ticket price on all flights.

There’s no way in hell we’re getting through the climate crisis when a German can pay 20€ for a flight to Mallorca and back, but pays 200€ for a train to the other side of the country.

How Google Alters Search Queries to Get at Your Wallet (www.wired.com)

Google likely alters queries billions of times a day in trillions of different variations. Here’s how it works. Say you search for “children’s clothing.” Google converts it, without your knowledge, to a search for “NIKOLAI-brand kidswear,” making a behind-the-scenes substitution of your actual query with a different...

herr,

Qwant is unfortunately owned by Axel Springer, truly one of the worst German companies in existence. They’re the publisher of the most popular (and unfortunately highly politically biased, filled to the brim with dishonest exaggerations and occasionally straight-up lies) German newspaper Bild.

Whatever comes out of Qwant if it actually becomes popular, you can rest assured it will be nothing good.

Just use DuckDuckGo and be done with it.

herr,

No one is immune to ads.

herr,

The Russian “justice” system has a conviction rate of 99.3%. It’s safe to say they’re giving large swathes of completely innocent people the death penalty here - people who are someone’s father, child, or friend.

Is that the system you see as exemplary for the west? Are these the Russian family values I’m always hearing so much about?

herr,

Wär für den Thread hier vllt ganz hilfreich, wenn die Leute sagen würden ob sie aus dem Westen oder dem Osten kommen. Glaube nämlich, Westdeutsche sehen sich viel seltener als solches als Ostdeutsche.

herr,

Happens. Then you come back to it after a few days and all the shitfuckery of last session becomes so damn obvious.

herr,

FOUR cameras, however!

herr,

Damn, this seems like exactly what I’ve been looking for… Shame I’m finding it a year late.

One last really important point you didn’t mention is how long do they serve security updates for?

herr,

ad hominem

reddit moment

herr,

???

herr,

Huh? The Python Stacktrace is great. What kinda fucked up library were you using that it prints the error code instead of raising an exception?!

Also don’t think outdated library docs are a fault of Python 😅 In much the opposite way, I’ve found Python’s standard library to be really great, reducing the number of random third party libraries needed. (Looking at you, JavaScript)

herr,

Absolutely wild take, the two are used in completely different contexts

herr,

Imagine getting hung up on something as trivial as a switch statement. Which is more poignant, I ask you?


<span style="color:#323232;">switch(var){
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   case 1: 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      <code>;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      break;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   case 2: 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      <code>;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      break;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   case 3: 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      <code>;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      break;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   default:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      <code>
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

or


<span style="color:#323232;">if var == 1:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   <code>
</span><span style="color:#323232;">elif var == 2:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   <code>
</span><span style="color:#323232;">elif var== 3:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   <code>
</span><span style="color:#323232;">else:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    <code>
</span>

The performance difference is absolutely negligible, but now you’ve introduced a bunch of unnecessary indentation (for no benefit) that’s gonna get hard to read should you even add a little bit of additional logic, and a footgun with all the break; s.

And then in JS the syntax for the case-blocks isn’t even consistent with the rest of the language.</code></code></code></code></code></code></code></code>

herr,

Which countries are running on a profit, exactly?

herr,

I asked which ones. Denmark has a surplus, but that’s accidental and no one’s trying to keep it that way.

And if you’re about to give Qatar as an example, the point is moot.

herr,

I mean, I think at that point it just becomes noise that you filter out. Ain’t nobody looking at their phone for 2000 buzzes every day - when everything’s marked important, nothing is important.

Every single Onewheel is being recalled after four deaths (www.theverge.com)

Future Motion, the maker of the Onewheel electric skateboard, is recalling every one of them, including 300,000 Onewheel self-balancing vehicles in the US. Alongside the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the company now seeks to remedy the products after four known death cases — three without a helmet — between...

herr, (edited )

All of these words yet not a single one mentions what exactly was faulty about the old software. Did it force-eject drivers after “certain limits” were “exceeded”?

herr,

But definitely one of the biggest factors that should be considered is how assholeish the community around a particular language is.

I think all of the factors you’ve mentioned are extremely valid, but this is the one factor that I think should absolutely not count into whether something’s a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ language. If I’m choosing which technologies to use for my next project, the question of whether it has a rude vocal minority in its community is AS FAR DOWN on my list as possible. Right next to whether its name is hip or whether their homepage is engaging.

herr,

then you don’t really know what you’re doing yet.

Can you elaborate on this? How are you guys making PHP so performant? Do you call C programs from it or something?

herr,

idk, how do I contact “the community” when I have an issue in the first place? All I know of is StackOverflow, and they’re honestly toxic enough to make me never ask questions there in the first place.

herr,

It’s an incredible tool, don’t know why I thought only cloud providers could do cross-device file syncing in the past…

herr,

Keeps out the new users we’ll need to keep this place alive, you mean

herr,

Ah yes, it’s far right populists that caused this and not the gangs who killed two people in shootings and another in an explosion in Stockholm just two days ago… lmao

And yeah, these are unintegrated migrants imported from 2015 onwards, who failed to integrate and now run massively violent, warring gangs that are currently responsible for an unprecedented amount of violent deaths in Sweden’s largest cities. Putting our heads in the sand regarding real issues for fear of being racist is what got us here in the first place.

Look at the data, and act, just as Sweden’s LEFT-WING government is CURRENTLY doing because the situation has now become untenable.

herr, (edited )

3 people in 12 hours in one city was their last record. Gang-related killings have been steadily rising for years and they’ve currently reached a boiling point where dozens of people die every month just in Stockholm.

herr,

There is no migrant violence in Ba Sing Se

herr,

Whataboutism be like

herr,

The system of integration for migrants failed in Sweden (as it was hardly even existent in the first place). That’s the systemic cause.

The acute symptom of this currently is gang violence. That said, the symptom is like a cancer that runs itself, the criminal systems underpinning gang violence are now established and you won’t get rid of them by being nice anymore.

So you have to fight both the symptoms and the causes… Which Sweden is beginning to do. Reinstating and hardening penalties for organized and violent crime to get rid of the acute symptoms, as well as stopping the inflow of non-European migrants to stop the cause.

The Swedish government didn’t say they’ll never take non-European migrants again, but it’s clear the whole system needs a huge overhaul.

herr,

Big thing about being based on Ubuntu is that the community support is the biggest. Any issue you find, you can google, and there’s a 99% chance there’ll be an answer for Ubuntu which can be applied as-is to Mint.

herr,

If I worked a physically intensive job from 8-4 you can be sure as shit I’d be dead asleep by 10pm at the latest.

herr,

This is gonna be the death of democracy when political advertising comes into play (as it already has).

“Point this piece of fake news at uneducated 40 year old single parents in <area>” - "point this piece of scientific news reinforcing my party’s message at university students who are interested in " and on and on.

My mom gets fake news advertisements on Facebook all the time, occasionally they are political in nature. Platforms aren’t doing their due diligence at all, so government must act to restrict the information that can be collected and the specificity of the targeting that may be employed.

Our economies worked in TV times, with broad-stroke advertising - why couldn’t they now? We don’t need this.

herr,

And wtf is with anaconda3 just permanently changing your “user@machine” terminal prompt?? Who thought that was a good idea?

herr,

Same shit happens on Windows. Games will just install their shit literally all over OS with no rhyme or reason to it.

Why can’t the save game and config.ini just be in the main god damn game directory? Nobody knows.
