Wow, Apple enabling E2EE for backup is huge, since before they would bypass iMessage security by including your iMessage keys in the unencrypted cloud backup (so governments could request that copy then watch your messages in real time).

I’m sure they’ll get pushback for closing this loophole

Couldn’t they simply use an encryption algorithm that has two private keys and they control one?

Mm, I'll wait for Brutus' release.
anxiously commented on Ask HN: Is it possible to remain anonymous and run a successful business?    · Posted by u/highwayman47
anxiously · 3 years ago
I was anonymous within my business for quite some time (~$X,XXX,XXX/ARR). It got to the point where my demos/sales calls would begin to question why they can't find anything about me online, for instance, "Why should my business trust you? I can't find anything about you?".

At a certain point I had come to a realization that things operate a certain way for 99% of people and companies and being contrarian doesn't help. If you want to win you need to play their game and that may mean having a public presence and playing on their playing field (that field may be LinkedIn, Github and other common fields).

I will say you don't have to become an influencer asshat which is what I want to avoid at all costs. You don't need to be "famous" and build a following of any kind. I focus my time on networking and building trust within my domain.

Looks like fun. Too bad you can't sign up anonymously or simply with a username and password. What a shame.

watching a virtual persona stream their development of their M1 GPU drivers is one of the most cyberpunk things I've ever seen! it's easy to forget that this world is looking closer and closer to those dreamed up by Gibson, Stephenson, etc. what a time to be alive.

Can someone explain this vtoon trend to me? It doesn't seem to be driven by anonymity because their real name is easily findable, so I assume it's something else? It seems very common, especially in certain communities.

Is fitting the index in ram really that important? Obviously it is fast, but if you can get away with storing it on a fast disk like an nvme gen4 then why not?

Maybe I'm crazy, but I kind of hope all of these crypto scammers/swindlers go down and from the ashes Satoshi rises again, as if he knew the swindlers were coming ever since Wikileaks adopted crypto and he left.
anxiously commented on Ask HN: Publish old projects even though the source code embarrasses you by now?    · Posted by u/joemanaco
anxiously · 3 years ago
My suggestion is to go for it.

With that being said, do take the time to examine the git commit messages and code itself.

I have certainly caught myself from publishing projects that contained words or jokes that would not go over well in 2022 :)
