No, it is still a problem β€” because if you wrote it for me, I need to know if it does what I want it to do.

FWIW - I have been regularly using Gemini, ChatGPT and a few others to 'ghost' tasks I'm doing, eg, figuring out emissions intensity of a gas turbine or something myself and then asking the same once I know the real answer

It's remarkable how subtle the errors, false references and mistakes are

My experience so far is that the people who wrote it get very uncomfortable and defensive when you ask them to look inside it and tell you what it does. That’s going to need to change for vibe-coded to be reliably useful for anyone outside the person who produced it.

β€œWhite” homeland will always need nonwhites as servants and workers. What it can’t have is equality under the law. That’s the β€œhomeland” they’re looking for.

β€’ Veterans who were discharged from the uniformed services due to sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.
- They do not need to live in Washington.
- They do not need to enter school within a certain amount of time after separating from the military.
- They maintain resident student status as long as they stay continuously enrolled.
- Does not apply to veterans who have a dishonorable discharge from the uniformed services.

TIL that military service members who were discharged for their sexual orientation or gender identity qualify for in-state tuition rates in Washington regardless of their residency!

You and I are mostly aligned on stuff, I think, but is it your position that a pro-privacy provider shouldn’t allow people to pay with credit cards?

Privacy and anonymity are different! They handed over only what they straightforwardly said they would hand over.

They didn’t make that promise, though.

Their privacy policy is pretty clear about what they’ll disclose and when.

I haven’t seen that they have. AFAIK, free Proton will make it pretty difficult for authorities to get anything helpful from Proton.

In theory this makes you harder to catch
In practice this just means they can bring much bigger charges against you when they catch you

Hm. This is professionally relevant to me but I’m not following β€” can you walk me through the implementation?

If you signed up for a Gmail account with a pseudonym and only accessed it through a VPN, Gmail wouldn’t have payment information to give over and any logged IP information wouldn’t mean that much either.
