Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2021)
argonavis.io | Lead Software Engineer | NYC | Full-time or Part-time
Do you like space exploration, modular SSTO spaceplanes and player-driven economies?
Argo Navis is an early stage, deep tech game project based in NYC.
We're looking for a part-time to full-time lead software engineer that can potentially continue as co-founder. Compensation is heavy on equity but we have funding for market rate cash pay. The role can be partially remote.
We're working on a new multiplayer space-based sandbox game. Our current focus is physics simulation, procedural generation and resource-based economics. Two major influences are Kerbal Space Program and Eve Online.
The game engine, server and client code are all in an embarrassingly early stage. The plan is to flesh these out with prototype implementations of spatial reference frames, Orbital / Newtonian mechanics and collision detection / resolution. All game states and state transitions will be wrapped in a cryptographic layer to support verification of the current game world, its history and replays of partial world states. Deterministic randomness (not a contradiction; see BLS crypto) will drive the procedural world generation. Players interact with the server exclusively through secure cryptographic signatures - enabling the game and all its interaction to form a secure protocol. But don't worry, we're not building a blockchain nor shilling any tokens :)
The project is radically open: all server and client code is open source and all digital / sound assets are open and free to use. Drafts of first principles, source code:

The xz sshd backdoor rabbithole goes quite a bit deeper
Moxie's reasons for disallowing Signal distribution via F-droid always rang a little flat to me ( https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/127 ). Lots of chatter about the supposedly superior security model of Google Play Store, and as a result fewer eyes independently building and testing the Signal code base. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but independent and reproducible builds seem like a net positive for everyone. Always struggled to understand releasing code as open source without taking advantage of the community's willingness to build and test. Looking at it in a new light after the XZ backdoor, and Jia Tan's interactions with other FOSS folk.

Signal v7.0.0 with phone number privacy
There's nothing on Signal blog as of yet, but Signal's git repository was tagged with v7.0.0 yesterday and we can see from the commit history since the previously tagged version (v6.74.4) that there will be a setting to hide one's phone number [1], as well as disabling the previous default behavior of advertising that one is on Signal to all their contacts already using it [2].

What are you shocked people are still doing nowadays?
Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp.

Apple Just Confirmed Governments Are Spying on People’s Phones With Push Notifications
Sadly yes: Looks like an open issue 13290 for Signal, sounds like they were/are indeed still interacting through google's push notification service, wat, and per a link at that issue it was a chore for Tutanota to break away once they realised it was a problem some years ago (though at least they thought about it years ago? wtf Signal...)
