seems the author never work in normal day to day job basis in average company

nothing in real life is ideal, that just reality


I don't like GraphQL, it feels strange for me (for my rest brain)

despite many Rest flaw that I know that it feels tedious sometimes, I still prefer that

and now with AI that can scaffold most rest. the pain point of rest mostly "gone"

now that people using a lot of Trpc, I wonder can we combine Grpc + rest that essentialy typesafe and client would be guaranteed to understand how model response look ?????


Yes you can. Check out https://fate.technology

Yeah but its react library, I talk about standard like OpenAPI schema but with GRPC model and discovery that can auto build a model response and inject it to most programming language

I don't like this argument since this is can be applied to everything and You expect people to roll out their own service for everything since everything is a product in some form or another

its okay to depends on some product because they are just good, for example people free to use Office alternative which is free btw but people literally dont choose that because MS Office is just better

all of this deep talk discussion is irrelevant since User want an working product that they expect them to

its just that


while I agree that Ads is sucks as a whole but how can you generate revenue from free service ?????

I mean its not like paid service that dont have ads and giving privacy is non existent either, we have proton mail for example


You can't. So don't advertise it as free. It's just lying, simple as that. People either pay with their data, their attention or their money.

Companies should be required to be transparent about how much revenue each of these sources generates.


"You can't. So don't advertise it as free. It's just lying"

its free as you paid zero dollar

"People either pay with their data, their attention or their money."

for some people money is more important than their data, and its vice versa with wealthy customer

I agree that in the future maybe we can control how much data/money we can paid for the service but that just not possible in current time


> its free as you paid zero dollar

What about other currencies? Do you only count state-issues currencies? Have you heard about barter?

> but that just not possible in current time

Why not?


"What about other currencies? Do you only count state-issues currencies?"

well you convert them to usd

"Have you heard about barter?"

well you are free to choose paid service that else where, I dont understand this coming from. no one force you to choose free product


The point is it's not free, you're exchanging time, attention and data instead of money.

In fact, you're exchanging them at a rate you are not informed about which means you are disadvantaged in this exchange.

It would be free if for example there were 2 tiers, free and paid and the free tier would be entirely supported by the paying customers. But it's not.

This is another way companies can legally lie to customers. I honestly don't understand why you keep defending them.


"This is another way companies can legally lie to customers"

there is no lie if you paid zero dollar on it

"which means you are disadvantaged in this exchange."

what do you mean disadvantage??? stop playing victim, you dont paid anything and you get the service for free

stop acting like globalist corporate literally evil or wrong, it literally mutualism relationship

"You paid with your data" ??? then what??? You acting like everyone is important???? if you are that important then just pay up for private service


1) Your lack of proper punctuation makes some sentences hard to read and it comes off as disrespectful.

2) Generally, people use the > character for quotes. You use " and that's fine but your third quote is not an actual quote from my message. This case is harmless but it's generally rude to put words in other people's mouths and mislead anybody else reading this into thinking I said a particular thing I did not.

3) Since "You paid with your data" is actually your phrasing, you admit that data is a form of currency. And since as you said, I paid, it cannot by definition be free.

4) Your insistence that state-issues currencies (or only the dollar) are the only valid currencies is wrong. People commonly perform other forms of exchange of both goods and services, surely you wouldn't claim e.g. somebody is performing work for free when he asks you for a counter-service or non-monetary compensation. I suggest reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consideration , it is closely related.

5) Disadvantage means one side of the negotiation has more information it can leverage to make a more beneficial deal to it at the expense of the other party. Since I don't know how much money my attention and data makes the company, I can't negotiate a fair price for me to pay in monetary terms instead of attention and data.

6) I am clearly important enough that my data, time and attention have monetary value.

7) What if I belong to a minority which would be targeted under a different regime? My data can be used to profile me. If the data can be sold or published today, there's nothing stopping a future government or even non-governmental organizations from using it. The right to privacy and the right to control my data is just as important as free speech for maintaining a free society.


also Russia,China,North korea is literal adversaries

They dont act like "Allies" while doing the same thing adversaries do


my proposal devices is like yubikey but instead of yubikey hardware in place like USB devices form

its in the form of ring or bracelet, its small enough and can be carried everywhere with you all the time

its use NFC like technology, it works without battery, fast and "secure enough" for 99% of people

what if the device is stolen???? we can add authorization like biometric (fingerprint etc) while touching devices so it can be sure the real owner is "giving" auth


The problem is not a personal hardware security module, as you noted we have them. The problem is that people want redundancy that undermines the point. If you can easily have a copy of your ring just in case, how do you know who has done that process and watches you all the time? Biometrics sounds like a solution yet they are implemented as a cosmetic security layer and this situation is pointless to fix since we leave them everywhere we go.

if people want to copy then let them copy

-how is that secure????

we would let only 1 device active at a time

if you think secure enclave with Biometric security is "weak" then no one is secure

if you think combination of (fingerprint,DNA,blood variance,retina, star time + position, mental memory etc) is not enough then no one is enough

(we are assuming this is future where we can access all this technology) << this is important point here

also if this is not enough, ppffttt (I dont want to go here) Neuralink device that lives under your skin


its crazy that russian search engine is more "open" compared to US search engine

On this one particular issue. There are certainly things blocked by Russian search engines which have to comply with a rather lengthy list of banned sites since about 2012.

Oops, sorry about that!

Today is not my day.


It’s most definitely not.

There are countless websites and topics removed from Google. It’s impossible to say.

If by more open you mean not easily censored by anybody but Putin. But it's hard to imagine that it's actually more open by any reasonable definition of that word.

By open, they mean fewer results censored. The west censors more results overall than Russia, kind of like how more UK citizens are arrested for speech crimes than Russians, or kind of like how abortion is more legal in Russia than it is in half of the USA.

Which isn't to say Russia is a bastion of free speech, it's not, you still can't go hold an LGBTQIA2s+ pride parade or publicly march demanding you be given the right to hold the parade in the future without being thrown in prison, but they're a poor case study for authoritarianism when the west is rapidly turning more authoritarian than Russia is, while Russia hasn't really changed much in that regard in the last quarter century or so.


“Practical freedom” is a very important measure of freedom. If you are generally more free to do what you want, how much does it matter that you live in a dictatorship? If I live in a democracy with 10,000 laws I can’t meaningful affect with 1 vote, am I free?

Get off it, Russia is arresting people for a single web search: https://zona.media/news/2025/12/10/glukhikh

If you think the West is becoming more authoritarian than Russia, you're either misinformed or lying.


When did a 3,000₽ ($37) fine for searching for nazi symbols turn into an arrest? Your source doesn't say anything about this.

> Sergei Glukhikh, 20, was arrested in September under a law that had come into force earlier that month, and which raised concerns about expanded surveillance and potential abuse by law enforcement.

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/12/10/first-russian-fine...

Hope that clarifies it for you.


The Moscow Times has the same relationship to Moscow as the RFA has to Chinese news. This is a propaganda mouthpiece, thepurpose the purpose of which is to engage in cherrypicking, finding isolated cases and making a big deal out of a molehill.

If it's also going to be against Russia, it would be great.

>"found Glukhikh guilty and imposed a fine of 3,000 rubles ($38)."

"Glukhikh, who did not attend his sentencing hearing, has denied his guilt."

And also:

"FSB officer noticed Glukhikh searching for extremist content while riding next to him on the bus"

  That is, an employee of the services saw a search for a banned organization engaged in the murder of Russians and the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine and reported it. 

  You must admit that this is not the same as just looking for information on Yandex.

  And the parental comment refers specifically to the Yandex search, and not to isolated cases when an FSB agent suddenly stands behind you.

 Keep in mind that millions of Russians search for information about VPN and the rest every day, openly discuss it on social networks and do not receive any punishment for it.

I'm sure you're experienced enough at using Yandex/Rambler/whatever to find other sources. What are those, btw? Соловьёв Live?

> You must admit that this is not the same as just looking for information on Yandex.

I must do no such thing. The other week I searched for the fascist Ivan Ilyin because I wanted to see what kind of ideas Putin built his ideology on. I've also read about the Russian Nazi paramilitary unit Rusich Group, responsible for the murder of Ukrainians. I've googled Maria Lvova-Belova, wanted by the International Criminal Court for kidnapping children. Do you think I should have been arrested for those?

I'm happy you guys can still search for VPNs, enjoy it while you can. Truly the pinnacle of democracy.


Isn't the comment you're responding to using the source that you provided?

Yes, and? I'm perfectly fine with discussing it based on The Moscow Times article, it's the other commenter who disregarded it for being "against Russia" (I wish!). Since there are other sources that have reported on this, I suggested they search the runet for an officially-sanctioned outlet if that's what they prefer.

I did not ignore it, my comments are really based on the material of this article, I only pointed out that such a source is Russian news, in which RFA is Chinese news.

Unfortunately, from your next comment (you've collected a whole bingo there) I realized that I might have wasted my time on you.

This level of concern is corrected only if you want it yourself, no one from the outside can help you.

My statement that you can safely search for the necessary information on Yandex remains valid.


Hope they feed you well over there.

>its crazy that russian search engine is more "open" compared to US search engine

It's crazy that you think there's only one search engine in the US.

Try this one: https://www.bing.com/search?q=sci-hub


Yeah, its called taxi

we already have those


if we talking about future, its where self driving AI is actually better than 99.9% of the human and human driving manually would void insurance

turns out a separation of concern is valid approach for decades
