I shudder to think of the human-hours that SO has saved the world. It is one of those sites that saves you time and effort, as opposed to being a time-suck.
Why isn't there a tool with iMessage-quality UI? I find it hard to understand why the demand is not being met. Could it be that a core tenet of a secure app is being open source and open source is less profitable, thus removing incentive. The article suggests it is because efforts are fragmented, which ostensibly is true. Maybe a combination of the two? What am I missing?
I would pay for his service, not a lot, but I would pay. Every now and then I find a good movie (last one being "Swingers"), but it's completely random. I can't find a website with a constant flow of good recommendations. I get very frustrated every time I try to get something out of one of those "the 100 best movies of..." lists.
Sounds like you've looked into this already, any chance you published your findings to spare the rest of us the hassle? :)
There isn't a working secure messaging now.

GPG+email has UX problems meaning BFU's will never use it.

Signal is bound to Google, and Moxie's views on corporate control and calling getting applications from somewhere else than Google "going back to the old broken desktop security model" doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Telegram has broken crypto, doesn't ecrypt by default and the authors being arrogant about their broken crypto doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Whatsapp and iMessage are closed source, so they are completely unverifiable.

There isn't secure messaging tool that can be widely used as of now. I know not many people are good enough with crypto to be able to reliably write one, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying. Being able to communicate easily and securely is very very very important and should be part of basic infrastructure by now.
But in order to do that, the "model" (i.e. the python program itself) needs to be carefully selected. Most python programs - or other programs - won't do this. Indeed, you need to construct the program to pay special attention to particular kinds of statistics, and the choice of those structures would correspond to the hypothetical "universal grammar" - at least, as far as I understand without being overly encumbered by any expertise on the matter ;-).
The dream of decision-making machines has been with us for 70 years, since Wiener wrote Cybernetics in the '40s, but it keeps falling flat. Ultimately, computers remain a tool, no matter how sophisticated, and they will never be capable of reason. Tasked with implementing a policy, they will implement it deterministically, based only on the available input data, without judgment or context. You may implement a very complicated policy by training an artificial neural network, but that doesn't make it any less deterministic or provide it with powers of reason. It just means that you've succeeded in creating a policy you don't understand.

As for bureaucrats, like everyone I've had my share of bad experiences. But it's just not the case that they're uniformly bad. If you've ever had an airline agent find a creative way to get you on a flight, or a doctor prescribe medicine for a needed off-label use, or someone at the motor vehicle department decide you don't need to fill that form out again, you've seen human judgement and context in action. Even bad bureaucracies have good bureaucrats sometimes.
I think the real answer is why not both... A curated, peer reviewed, fact checked network of sites that adhere to strong standards would be a nice improvement to single site attempts (like Wikipedia).
It does offer a moral 'advantage' in that you can tell yourself that even though what you are doing isn't technically legitimate, you're at least doing your bit to make sure the creators get paid.
This isn't really WSD though, or at least, only very weakly.

Sure. I was pointing to real WSD where sparseness becomes even a stronger problem than when your definition of sense is restricted to part-of-speech tag or sentiment.

Rare words are usually pretty unambiguous for part-of-speech.

I was talking about (possibly) frequent words where some part-of-speech are infrequent, not about rare words. To take five more or less random examples form the Brown corpus (yes, we train on large corpora, but I think similar distributions could hold for less frequent forms in languages with e.g. frequent nomalization, not everyone speaks English!):

mother NN 173 VB 1
code NN 20 VB 1
hanging NN 1 VBG 20
level JJ 14 NN 172 VB 2
services NNS 115 VBZ 1

If your learning method is as coarse-grained as simply throwing the token plus part-of-speech into word2vec or wang2vec, some will be below the frequency cut-offs (or will be to sparse to learn good embeddings), while other 'senses' may in reality be semantically similar.
Tax cuts -> cannot afford police on patrol -> outsource basic policing to private company -> police on patrol are only available to those who can afford it.

And how long before it then becomes "wouldn't it be a shame if something happened to your store..."

Ah the wonders of low-tax, small government.
Haha, Yes! I hate competition with a passion. For example, who the hell cares about my p2p protocol? I don't, which is why I will use GNUnet in a future version. I wrote my own to learn and don't feel the need to compete with much better works.
back in 2008 when I visited Chitwan national park in Nepal, we were shown what locals claimed white rhinos (mother and calf). riding on the back of elephant, rhinos were calm and didn't notice us.

either things went much worse, or those were not white ones. anyway, 3 rhinos left means species is extinct, unless mighty genetics step in in near future.
As a Perl fan, I think that's a valid point.

It takes five minutes of a good tutorial to understand what references are and how they work. Yet it's not rare to see so called senior developers still failing to use them properly and introducing bugs because of it.
I was a chef on private yacht. Fortunately we had satellite TV, internet in marinas, I was expected to fish if we were underway, if it was windy the mister would ask if I needed help getting the windsurf board off the top deck, I could use the boat credit card at all the tiki bars at the end of the dock, unlimited food budget, cook anything I wanted, and crew and owners always made them selves breakfast. Bored I started teaching myself how to code. Now I'm stressed not having done that in a few years distracted by Hacker News trying to build an Angular directive wondering why I didn't use React which I know nothing about. :(
Maybe you could come in, show them your Netflix subscription and you'll get the movie you want on an USB flash drive you have to return. You can then repurpose all the display cases with, as you noted, interactive movie exhibits and information kiosks, etc. The reason to visit the video store, rather than just click on Netflix would be

1. It's a fun movie exhibit.

2. This movie doesn't count towards your data cap.
This [...is less profitable, thus removing incentive] is probably true, unfortunately. I personally seriously considered this space and actually wrote a quite complete prototype with this exact goal more than a year ago, but eventually decided to not move forward with it at the time. One problem is that it is really hard for an average user to distinguish BS security claims from proper crypto. An average user would likely consider Snapchat to be more secure than an E2E app.
I agree that it will probably become a old-people's complaint. The latter part (numerous and cheap) does assume a perfect market though. In reality, many of the resources may end up in the hands of a monopoly or oligopoly and then they change the rules or charges at any time.

The 5 Benefits of Improved Communication for Remote Software Development Teams
In the end, I think that something using WebRTC combined with something like keybase.io to hold public keys as a lookup system could work.

You load app, which connects into DHT network... you search for a contact via keybase.io lookup, which then does a query to find the given contact, and all further communication happens over webrtc against the public key of the target user. Other key sources could exist, as well as other registries, or side-loading keys via other channels.

It could be distributed, anonymous and secure. The down side is there isn't much one can do to fight flooding attacks. Also, peer negotiation of "friends" might get interesting as well.

It wouldn't be too hard to create an initial client using electron, or similar.

we should at least keep backups of the DNA.
Don't know about the Android version, but the iOS version repeatedly crashed on me and was nowhere as nice as iMessage to be honest.
On iPhone, is it even possible to distribute software that's open source in the sense of being verifiable? It's all binaries coming from a central server. And the operating system code is secret. Maybe all your keystrokes are sent directly to Obama so he can scan them for terrorism.

It has to that because it needs to generated the hash of the file, before it can be seeded! :)
Perhaps the conclusion is that we need to focus on a proper secure implementation of the underlying communication. If a standardized decentralised p2p communication overlay network exists, we can build tools on top of that, including IM and practically any other tool that can be implemented with messages.
In my personal opinion: if you want to communicate securely, with a very low probability of eavesdropping - use voice chat in any of modern games, on any platform. On both PS4 and X1, voice chat communication has to be encrypted(it's a compliance requirement), but at the same time there is no requirement that you have to implement a server relay - so a lot of games don't bother doing it, and it's a straight up P2P mesh implementation. You have encrypted, P2P traffic, not stored anywhere, that you can create an anonymous account to use.

I'm not filled with confidence when visiting a secure messaging app site that fires off warnings when visiting the https url.
Right in its headline, the article makes the powerful claim that there is no language instinct (which I assume is to be read as equivalent to "innate language knowledge"). Unless you use some very specific notion of knowledge that makes this false, this is a much stronger claim than the claim that there is innate language knowledge - the reason is the same as why the claim that humans are all born with equal abilities is a stronger claim than the claim to the contrary. Now, you could say that Chomsky actually made the claim that /all/ humans have /the same/ innate language knowledge, which then of course would be as probabilistically absurd as the claim that all humans have none - but this is so obviously false (considering mental damage, mutations etc.) that surely everyone involved will have understood that what was meant was not this but rather some statement like "most humans (...)" or "central examples of the category of humans (...)" or "humans with high probability are hardwired to have a probabilistic affinity to interpret language in terms of these structural universals".

(edit: Note though that "All humans have no innate language knowledge" is still orders of magnitude more unlikely than "All humans have some common particular set of innate language knowledge" - the latter just requires the highly unlikely even that the random drawing of every single human's innate language knowledge came out to some particular value, but the former requires that the random drawing of all of humanity's innate language knowledge came out to the particular set of preconceptions that you consider to be "no preconceptions", and then that the random drawing of every single human's innate knowledge also came out to that value. Think likelihood of discovering an animal species all of whose living members have exactly the same colour of fur at 24-bit granularity, versus the likelihood of discovering one all of whose living members have #F45080 fur.)
Incredible.

Other language integrations with UE4 felt half assed or plain unusable. Kudos to NCSOFT for Apache2-ing it.

When you say its bound to Google, do you mean that users rely on play store to get Signal, or something else?
Most comments here are about using an existing search solution, but sometimes inventing your own solution has a lot of benefits.

I needed something similar when I was building https://acoustid.org/ and for the first iteration I used PostgreSQL's GIN indexes, which are nice and easy to work with, but once the index grew beyond some point, it was getting very slow. I spent some time designing a minimalistic inverted index that does just what I need, nothing else, while compacting the data as much as possible, to keep it in RAM, and the results were just excellent. It was super fast compared to the GIN indxes. Now I have 10x more data and it's still as fast as it was before. If you are interested, here is the code - https://bitbucket.org/acoustid/acoustid-index
It is now possible to compile your own binaries and deploy it yourself without paying $99.

As for trusting the OS, it is true, but I would argue it is no better than running on an Android phone that you don't compile and deploy the OS for. There can be a hardware backdoor in your phone too. At some point, you will have to trust your infrastructure to a degree.
Thanks for the explanation. I see what you're saying now.
It wasn't the oxygen that killed the Apollo 1 astronauts, it was the fire. Oxygen can be toxic at high pressures (which is why deep divers use a mix with helium replacing some of the oxygen) but AIUI breathing 100% oxygen at ordinary atmospheric pressure is fine.

It's not clear why anyone would care, but a basic concept might be that making umpteen tools throws them all into the bucket of "wasting time on something that won't exist in a few years" while hindering the products that will.
To hazard a guess, in no particular order:

* proprietary software. Yes, sometimes you need to run it. It's built for Linux but not for OpenBSD.

* hardware support. OpenBSD is better than it used to be, but it's still not as good as Linux.

* apt/dpkg. There's just so, so much more prepackaged software available on Linux. (I miss Debian/kFreeBSD...)

But primarily, I think, it's solely due to Linux network effects --- people learn Linux because Linux is everywhere so people learn Linux. There's just more people and more knowledge around. Which means that if you're porting an OS to a new platform, you go with Linux because you know that the skills are available, and probably a lot of the functionality is already there, and there's a bunch of different userland stacks that will already just work on it, etc, etc.

As a lay-person in this space, could you explain what's wrong with their crypto? Have their recent competitions not addressed Moxie's concerns? Would you be more comfortable if they published their server code (as they keep promising to do...)?

Their arrogance and will to power is rather mild in comparison to that of the people running Facebook and its properties. I'm happy not to see ads based on my private chats.
I think you could have phrased this differently but there is something there. Depression is a complex and multi-faceted challenge that can have many underlying causes and is subject to a number of psychological forces. The author takes the approach of managing the superficial symptoms whereby depression makes people non-functional, but there are probably underlying causes that will reemerge in various ways down the line. Managing only the loss of productivity without addressing underlying concerns has a high likelihood of just masking the problem. They might find themselves a year or two down the line with some accomplishments but still nagging feelings of self doubt and failure.

I'd recommend "Feeling Good", a book by David M. Burns (site here: http://feelinggood.com/)

It's amazing how some very productive people lead inner lives of desperation and pain due to bad self-talk and reinforcement of negative feelings.

How to Be Successful in Network Marketing
My point is that nowadays there is a focus on writing for a client/server arch, other than any other.
As a result, you get lots of open-sourced frameworks/libraries. The same doesn't happen with p2p.
In my opinion, as we are having more powerful clients coming out everyday (more processing speed, more memory, etc) perhaps there should be an investment as well on trying to get something more out of that power other than rendering heavy client UIs.
There are a few similar services in this space:

I did all that for some projects two jobs ago. The company had ~50 people elsewhere but only three of us in Europe (and for every responsibility we wanted at least two of us to know about it).

None of it is hard, honestly - it's all well-documented things that a smart person can teach themselves how to do. And I honestly think that having one person take end-to-end responsibility for delivering one piece of functionality results in much higher quality than having twenty people specializing in a single layer as it applies to twenty different deliverables.
Yes. But the point is that he was able to gain these two bits of information.

You don't need SMP for much work up to 10Gb/s on modern hardware. Not sure if OpenBSD has 10Gb driver support or not (although FreeBSD and NetBSD do).

As a lawyer, I don't think Granick appreciates just how the Internet has become a realm of haves and have-nots.

She talks about right to tinker and end-to-end communications. Back in the 90s, I played with HTTP and SMTP services on my Mac. It was just install a program and go. No root permissions for special ports. No configuring port forwarding, because even on dial-up I had a global IP address. And HTTP was a simple text protocol. Network protocols these days are so complex, I don't know how kids learn how they work.

One essential component is IPv6. I perceived that centralized control would be a problem as soon as I heard about how NAT works, but short-term costs have kept IPv6 inaccessible. This is an immense frustration.
WebRTC as in a browser? How do you verify peers? As far as I've seen and understood, WebRTC's trust model is the same as the webpage's model - you must trust the page.

And if not in a browser, why WebRTC of all things? It still uses rather ugly SDP (which, at least in SIP, still suffers from being originally designed as a multicast protocol for one direction - the offer/answer stuff is poorly grafted in and doesn't really work like people expect, though in practise implementors seem to ignore stuff and code it like they think it should work. SDP is also bad because it's a text-based protocol, and those are almost never unambiguously parsed even if the spec is technically OK). WebRTC is probably more secure due to high-quality teams writing browser-facing code, whereas even 1000-line SIP programs are laughably terrible.
