For some reason I was expecting it to be more interesting than just being all-in on AWS services. Its fine and a reasonable approach but kind of a yawn in my opinion.
I wholeheartedly agree with this but want to add that the 80/15/5 split aren’t set in stone. It’s more like risk tolerance. The more you spend on the riskier activities (not exactly what you’re asked to do), the higher the chance of failure but the greater the reward. You can drive your team or organization in a completely different direction.
How was this legal? Missing a connecting flight means you’re detained and forced to buy a new ticket? Dispute that charge for not providing service as paid for.
One clarification - he wasn't detained in Charlotte, he was questioned in Florida before he got on the first leg of his flight. The gate agents then canceled his full itinerary and made him buy a full fair ticket to Charlotte.
The reason this happened is because adults intimidated a child. If it were me, I would have told them to fuck off, sure that I was planning to go to NYC, and oh crap I'd unexpectedly get food poisoning in Charlotte and had to stay there.
Airlines are trying to have their cake and eat it, too, with their BS fare games. If they don't want people "skiplagging" they should price their tickets accordingly.
I expand this idea a tad. 4-8 tabs per window. But then I organize tabs based on context. Then I can switch around contexts and still have my handful of tabs open.
Sometimes that means 1 window, sometimes that means 4 windows. Just depends on what I’m doing.
The way to look at this is that this is what happens when you don’t have safe and legal medical abortions.
Also this is one of the reasons why e2e encryption is so important. Meta had to comply with a warrant and wouldn’t have had to comply if it was impossible for them to.
End-to-end encryption only prevents in-flight access of the data by your ISP. At either "end" that data can be trivially decrypted, and probably isn't even stored on an encrypted server to boot. It would require a lot more than E2EE to meaningfully resist government surveillance.
Just to clarify one possible misconception, the two ends would be the mother and daughter’s phones in this case. Meta shouldn’t have the key to decrypt accessible to them.
You’re absolutely correct that it can be decrypted on either end but Meta should resist putting a backdoor in their app that allows this. If no other reason than it compels them to be in the middle of this criminal case.
This is the part where things get ambiguous and it's hard to say how things go. On paper, you are correct and I 100% agree with everything in this comment. In practice, I have no reason to believe anything Facebook says correlates with the implementation of their encryption.
I want to believe it's a safe system, but as-always it comes down to trusting trust. Without accountability, it's hard to take WhatsApp or iMessage or any E2EE service at face value. E2EE leaves so many exploits on the table that I basically treat it as marketing fluff.
One assumes they would have taken care of it during the legal timeframe. Not relevant if they didn’t in this case.
There’s also other options still by going to other states, but the point is that by making it illegal you’re increasing the chances of it being unsafe.
But anyway, that’s as far as I’m wading into that subject here. Don’t feel like getting into politics so much as practicalities.
You are correct but I don’t think that invalidates the point that if you want safe abortions you need to make them legal and regulated.
I have no idea why they chose pills on the Internet but I know that more people will do it themselves if they can’t legally go to a healthcare provider.
