In the trivial case, you share the key between all devices. This loses you a bunch of security, but it demonstrates trivially that it works. You can also just encrypt the message once per device, which increases your data volume, but is a good compromise otherwise.

Rules for Open Source Success
Ask HN: Should I open-source my free iOS app when I publish it in the App Store?
I am working on a free app that I am going to publish on App Store, as my first attempt to get to the iOS apps market.

It's going to be a better (in my dreams and hopes) version of an existing app. Put simple, it will be a messaging app.

I wonder if it will have more cons or pros, which is surely debatable, if I open-source it and all its new versions while I am working on further improvements. Pros I imagine are better bugs catching, in case people are interested in improving it, getting advice how to improve its structure. Cons, as one can worry, are if some shady tod decides to use the source to build his own clone of the app and publish on the App Store with his own goals. I am not so worried about this because I am sure it's much more to do on the path to success than just changing icons and labels, compiling and publishing.

Please share your thoughts on this dilemma.
Yes, exactly. It's the sort of thing that tends to get downvoted here.

A little weird that I cannot find a "Freetown, Texas" using Google. I like to look at places on a map when they are mentioned in articles.

Maybe they got the name wrong, or is it so small it's not on the map?

I'm going to answer because it seems no one else bothered.

You are being downvoted because calling Blablacar "just an idea, no execution" is like telling Dropbox is "just an idea, no execution". Blablacar have executed very well, with a customer acquisition phase (when it was free), then stepped up the monetization (gradully stepping up fees, while keeping a healthy customer base). They also began expanding out of their home country (France), which is no small feat considering cultural differences.

On the profitability part, what makes you say they are not profitable already? I can't really extrapolate numbers, but a good customer base + recurrent fee (for each travel) generally are good signs for a business. I would bet the raised money is to fund expansion in other countries (I am pretty sure at least one of the previous round was for that).
> he smallest replaceable part on a MacBook is the entire MacBook

It wasn't always like that. In my 2011 Macbook Pro, I can replace memory, harddisk and optical drive (with an SSD, for example), and - revolutionary for Apple - the manual even tells me how. It's sad they moved away from that.

I also like how an old car like the Citroen 2CV is so easily hackable, and many car enthusiasts (and even the manufacturer) have hacked that car in numerous ways. It's not being made anymore, and I don't think there's any comparable car available nowadays.

IIRC, it's a legacy of the cold war.

The game theory strategists realised that any use of nuclear weapons would either escalate, or end up in a massive defeat. You can start with a tactical nuke wiping out troops, it will escalate to larger nukes wiping out ships, and eventually you're dropping very large nukes on population centers.

Mutually Assured Destruction was the only solution. (Or peace, but let's be realistic).

The Russians may have gotten away with MAD, without any need for propaganda, but the US is a democracy. To convince the population that MAD was acceptable, they had to create a situation in which any use of nuclear weapons such a horrible crime that it warranted the complete obliteration of the country that dealt the first blow.

In order to make nuclear war (even limited, tactical use) a horrible crime, they made a very big deal out of the effects. (Yes, it's not nice to wipe out battleships and troop formations, but not unprecedented in a war). Which meant they emphasised how bad radiation and fallout can be.

Also, radiation is just naturally a bit spooky, as are many carcinogens (especially ones you don't choose to expose yourself to). The fact that they might kill you 30 years after the event doesn't sit well with a lot of people.
So an argument on faith, then? That's not any better.

This reminds me of "Machine with Concrete", by Arthur Ganson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q-BH-tvxEg

From the video description:

Each worm/worm gear pair reduces the speed of the motor by
1/50th. Since there are 12 pairs of gears, the final speed
reduction is calculated by (1/50)12. The implications are
quite large. With the motor turning around 200 revolutions
per minute, it will take well over two trillion years before
the final gear makes but one turn. Given the truth of this
situation, it is possible to do anything at all with the
final gear, even embed it in concrete.
That is false. As long as the OS is updated, it does not matter whether it is the OS developer, or the equipment manufacturer, publishing the update.

I wonder, if Apple delegated OS update publishing onto third parties, if you'd keep your position. The Jobs distortion field extends beyond the grave, it seems.

My Name Is Pere Hospital, Founder of Cloudways and This Is How I Work
Yes and no. It is very common to simply strip umlauts and dashes when converting to ASCII compatible writing.

I even do it with my name most of the times. A Chinese official that sees Ø in my passport won't understand why I write 'OE', and might even start questioning if it is the same name, but 'O' never fails.

Airlines can read the gibberish in the bottom of my passport and see that the transliteration is actually 'OE', but most places don't have a scanner for that.
I work for Head Start and we actually have "meaningful" conversations with children about what interest them. Making math, engineering or science "interesting" is very natural for child.

Kids are natural learners.

Really? My experience has been that for some reason, on some phones, messages are only downloaded when the app is opened, which is really annoying but seems to be an interaction-with-the-OS issue rather than a networking issue.

However, messages are always sent and received immediately on phones without this issue (still in my experience).
I am pro-nuclear, but the above comment is incredibly, maddeningly stupid. It's so amazingly stupid that I don't know where to begin. The hidden assumption that there was an actual alternative to MAD? That the USG used radiation fear-mongering to shove MAD down our throats? That the USSR didn't use propaganda? That radiation isn't a big deal? That radiation only stays around for 30 years (a common mistake is to assume that half-life, which can indeed be something like 30years, equals how long radioisotopes will stay in the environment, which is completely bollocks)? The most horrible thing about that comment is that it was written by someone intelligent enough to compose a sentence, yet stupid enough to reach to the conclusions she did.

First, I think he is talking about larger projects, with larger leaps of faith. Small, incremental gains in productivity and chip speed are fine, but we can do more; we have the potential do amazing things and we're not even trying.

Second, productivity growth would normally be good if the gains from that growth were distributed. Instead, all of those gains have been placed directly with the wealthiest %1. So instead your graph, sadly, simply reflects how the quality of life has degenerated over the generations. That's not the kind of progress that 99% of the world was hoping for.
OpenHAB is great, if it's a house.

When you start to move in the area of building automation tech, we have to deal with Luteon. And that means MSSQL database, and "pain and suffering". And there's no way to dynamically extract that data, so it's a little island of all its own.

We've been working with Citrix for quite some time. And they purchased IoT automation company Skynet, and rebranded it OctBlu. Seems good, really good. Well, until I decided to build my own sensor net using cheap tech.

All I should really need for a sensor is a 8 bit micro, a sensor, and a nRF24L01+ board. Turns out, from China, those little boards are a whopping $.67/each. Add that to the $1.87 arduino clone, and a sensor (starting with PIR, $.82) along with a dinky project box comes to $5-$6 per node. MySensors library for arduino/nRF24L01+ works superb. Simple API, mesh healing just works.

Well, after building a few nodes, I wanted to connect them together in a sort of a dashboard that makes programming them easy. We're already working with Citrix/Octoblu so what about that? Well, there is a MQTT-gateway for MySensors, using an arduino-ethernet module. No. I didn't want these sensors directly hanging off the internet, as our IP's are fully routable. Same with ESP8266-gateway. I wanted something more secure than "put it on the internet".

So, I made a mySensors-serial gateway. Plugs in via USB, and provides a serial port of all the data on the network. Simple and effective. From there, I have it going in to a linux machine running Node-Red. Turns out, this is what Octoblu uses. They just provided some pretty dockerizable instances and whatnot. But I have data coming in via serial port, through a mySensors decoder block, and then rest of the logic laid out nicely.

It's easy to see how the data flows through the system. I can control how it's logged, as well as where data is terminated. With potential fears of data leakage, I can provably show that the flowchart doesn't leak data. (well, aside mathematically proving said code: we're not doing that).
I'm curious about the viability of the following approach. Can a generic static dictionary be made to be held on the client side such that said compressor/decompressor can utilize efficiently? This would prevent the need to send along the dictionary with the compressed package every time. Even at an 80/20 - 90/10 success rate (of course we'd have a fall back to worse case), wouldn't this be a great advancement and reduce massive network load? With modern hd sizes, many could spare a few gigabites which could be dialed up/down as necessary depending on how optimized you'd want it. I would think we could identify particular binary patterns based on the users xfer habits (eg downloading text vs application vs audio vs video) and have different dictionaries optimized to their usage (eg roku would just store dictionaries maximized for video usage)

So would the same apply for HTTP/2.0 since they are so similar?

In summary, we deduce that SPDY loses its performance gains as a
website is sharded more. However, these negative results are not ubiquitous
and vary remarkably depending on the number of page resources. This
raises a few questions about SPDY deployment. Are the benefits enough for
designers and admins to restructure their websites to reduce sharding? What
about third party resources that cannot be consolidated, e.g. ads and social
media widgets? Can SPDY be redesigned to multiplex across domains? Is
proxy deployment [29] rewarding and feasible as a temporary solution? The
success of SPDY (and thereupon HTTP/2.0) is likely to be dependent on
the answers to precisely these questions.

On the other hand, they were giving away too much of their users private data.
> But there’s an important line to draw between that and using an SPR for ad hoc manipulation of the world’s markets. On this point, Martin Young is emphatic: “The oil stocks are not there for price management as such,” he explains, “they’re there to correct a shortage in the market because of a supply disruption.”

Strategic reserves can absolutely also be used as an offensive economic weapon, however. As one example, when Salvador Allende became President of Chile in the early 1970s and nationalized Chilean copper mining, the US dumped >250,000 tons of copper from its strategic reserves onto the world market, crashing the price, in a (quite successful) attempt to destabilize the Chilean economy, which was heavily reliant on copper exports. Of course when that still didn’t lead to Allende’s downfall, plan B was a CIA-sponsored military coup.

Is there a reason for me to upgrade? Is there anything I need to look out for?
Capitalism (i.e. accumulation of resources in private hands with the goal of employing it for generation of profit) should not be conflated with free market (i.e. roughly equal individuals engaging in voluntary transactions). They are in fact antithetical! For capitalism to work some individuals must be entitled for more resources than others so that these individuals can tell others what to do. Of course you can then argue that everybody is still engaging in voluntary transactions. But is it really so when the balance of power is so skewed?

Your second point is spot on. I realized this when I tried to optimize my numpy code that does millions of dot products between 3x1 vectors and 3x3 matrices to no avail. I realized there is an awesome little library called tinyarray, that doesn't have the overhead of numpy, and is compatible with the basic numpy syntax. I exchanged all my numpy arrays for tinyarrays and got the easiest 10x speed up ever.

> I'm hoping Opera open sources or sells their OMPD proxy platform.

They won't open source it: the compression tech has for a number of years accounted for a large proportion of Opera's (browser) income. I also don't actually know what OMPD is. Opera Mini server? That's tied sufficiently closely to Presto that it'll only ever get released if Presto does.

The more recent Opera Turbo and the Opera Mini 11 for Android "high-compression mode" (though I have no idea how that really differs to Opera Turbo! [edit: per @brucel it is Opera Turbo]) are certainly available for licensing; Yandex Browser supports Opera Turbo, for example.

Yup, that's called SDCH (shared dictionary compression for HTTP, colloquially "sandwich"), which was first proposed in 2009 by Google. Brotli supports SDCH, but it's an additional component.

I suggest you to learn a bit about power grid engineering. Basically, the fact that we can't store electricity means that when you power on your toaster, somewhere a power plant has to increase its power to compensate.

But the nuclear power plant takes up to 2 days to startup. It's not sustainable for the daily life where consumption change every hour.

That's why there is the need for more agile power plant, where fuel, gas, and coal are suitable. Gas being the most agile but the less efficient, fuel and coal being used as the middle between gas and nuclear, depending of the price of each resource.

This is an engineering constraint before anything else.
