Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
Chris fix is an awesome channel for working on your car. He covers everything from fluid changes to transmission replacements. Great production quality and extremely engaging.
I think this is all totally fair. You are getting less laptop for the same price.
I will put a couple of nits here:
> * No dedicated GPU options, period.
It supports thunderbolt, so you can have an eGPU! That said, while eGPUs are pretty cool, they're expensive an inefficient.
> * Form factor is quite a bit more bulky than its competitors, even considering the fact parts are removable.
I would revise "quite a bit" down to "slightly." The Dell XPS is 15.28 mm thick. The Framework is 15.85mm thick. That's 0.57mm. It is on-par with the slimmer ultrabooks out there. I'm totally happy with the form factor.
* The magnetic bezel works great and I've had no problems with it at all. It's completely secure and you pretty much need to lever it off with your fingernail if you want to change it for a different color, or clean around the edge of your screen. The lid spring is slightly wobbly as others have reported, but not too bad.
* It does have thunderbolt and it works great. I've use mine with a Razer core x for gaming without issue. It also works with my Kensington dock.
Signal stores messages on their servers until they're delivered at which point they're purged.
Additionally, Signal's encryption scheme gives their messages the "forward secrecy" property which means that acquiring key material at some point in the future does not allow you to decrypt any previous messages. Any encrypted messages that they could provide would be useless.
For more, check out their really interesting doc on the double ratchet algorithm that they use!:
Excellent! I usually just type up my SQL in triple quotes and execute it from python, which gives me a little bit of templating too. Excited to give this a try (and start using more views.)
See also the anglish wiki which imagines a more Germanic English with made up Germanic words replacing French, Latin, etc. https://anglish.fandom.com/wiki/Main_leaf

Which may have significantly complicated their copyright claim if Otonomo includes the MIT license and attribution to smartcar.. At the same time, I can't find Otonomo's docs anywhere.
Something to think about when setting up your GitHub license!
You use ammonia to add nitrogen to crops. Making ammonia is an extremely energy intensive process that already contributes about 2-3% of global carbon emmissions. [1]
So you could spray ammonia everywhere to promote growth, but it's not clear that you'll offset the carbon emissions from making so much ammonia in the first place.
Yeah security is not really "proveable" in any software system.
However, a few points to consider:
1. The signal server can't "see" the group. Clients are just sending N messages to everyone in the group with some encrypted metadata that says it's a group message.
2. The client app is open source. You can go look for a ghost user or backdoor mechanism yourself.
3. The build is reproduceable. You can build it yourself and sideload your own APK, or compare it to the APK coming from the play store.
I don't think it's impossible to put a backdoor in, but I think it at least makes vigilance a good defense. Smart serious people are paying attention.
This isn't exactly a case where a machine beats a game, but if you want to get an idea of how such a machine would need to think, and if you want to see someone apply a lot of interesting algorithms to brew a sequence of steps to speedrun a game with much more complexity than Pokemon, check out Artjoms Iškovs's series where he comes up with a speedy approach to become the head of all factions in Morrowind:
