Of course there would need to be a proper definition, I don't exactly know that too.

Regardless, I do favor automation, just as a I favor to have a more leisurely life. This is possible with automation, but not as the world currently works: automation makes people loose their jobs, without pay.
If automated labor were taxed, people can loose their jobs with pay.

Yes, there are difficulties, but I think it's worth looking in to them.

As to the baristas, making the coffee is only a part of the job. Many parts of many jobs will be automated, allowing the humans to focus on what remains and maybe expand/improve that.
Could the ranking of a country like Switzerland be heavily impacted by Pharmaceutical companies registered there and filling patents there?

How many of those innovations are actually tangible in each of those countries and how many are just technicalities?

Not to discredit the ranking, I'm actually curious about the balance.

My only point is that Eich doesn't demonstrate your point. It took four years for people to notice the donation, and when they did, nothing of consequence happened. Two years later, he got promoted. The donation only became an issue after he was named CEO.

Mozilla is a prominent company and puts unusual emphasis on its social mission. The CEO is the public face of a company and ultimately responsible for ensuring that workers are treated fairly. A donation for a specific issue says something a donation to a candidate doesn't. And Eich/Mozilla handled the situation badly. (You misquoted me, by the way.)

I see Eich mentioned as a martyr on HN more often than I see a word against him. I threw in "someone somewhere" because we actually agree that fear of retribution can keep people from donating to political campaigns. I just don't think Eich is a good example.

I agree about not wishing to watch a clock, and I wish you the best with your treatment and everything else you've got going on at the moment.

I suspect that a responsible medical team would use this technology to alter treatment options, or at least discuss those options with the patient. Of course, that will involve discussing with the patient the likely prognosis per option. Not easy, but these conversations already happen. The hard part is this transiting phase we are entering, with this advance: we can detect organ failure with greater sensitivity, but we can't do anything about it (as I understand it).

I trust that medical researchers will next want to investigate how this advance might improve survival/morbidity by altering interventions and management. Perhaps it will allow greater certainty regarding specific regimens, perhaps it will allow earlier detection.

Transitions are hard, probably unavoidable, and I hope this one has a beneficial outcome.

This is how you turn e-mail to crap - not how you hustle.

If they had tweeted to him back or DM him (i.e. used the same medium as him) then I understand. Sending unsolicited e-mail that capitalizes on a competitors stumble just makes you look petty IMO. Also, people should want to consume your service because they LIKE what you do more than your competitors not because you are pouncing on another's misery to flog your own thing.

Please do not encourage this kind of behavior by writing blog posts about hustle.

Personally I think we should be able to kill one old post with no replies every 500 or 1000 karma. For old posts with replies, maybe just allow an append-only edit so it's possible to create little notes such as: "Hi! Please disregard; I can't believe I wrote this trash either."
This is definitely a lot of what goes on today. Despite the anonymity, there's a metagaming, social signalling aspect that comes from adhering to the tropes and catchphrases, being mean to newbies, displaying the mandatory -isms, playing up the bravado and machismo of a veteran, or for maximum trolling, roleplaying different people in sockpuppetry. I'd love a study that explores these motivations, of getting nameless credit and validation solely in one's own mind.

In fact, in response, a different board, /s4s/ "shit 4chan says", was created to absorb some of this deliberate behavior. Despite that, /b/ is considerably more meta than it used to be, but most of it is due to market segmentation: there are specific sub-boards with their own distinct cultures that differ from those on /b/ and manage to be useful for information exchange. Posting on /b/ is very much a conscious choice on part of the author, and comes with all the risks and rewards: perhaps your content will be appreciated, perhaps it will be ridiculed. Perhaps you're inflaming actual people's passions, or perhaps you're being fooled.
>but it simply isn't possible

The credit rating agencies could establish reasonably secure channels directly to consumers (passwords would be a start, dedicated tokens would be best), and require explicit authorization through the secure channel for new lines of credit. No account system is perfect, but it'd be a hell of a lot harder to break than "prove your knowledge of full name, address, DOB, and SSN" which are shared and stored all over the place, and bound to leak.

The financial industry or the government (probably at the financial industry's behest) could sign/distribute cryptographic identities along with plastic ones. Opening a new account could require a signature from a signed certificate.

Banks could send prompts to your smartphone asking you to approve/reject ACH and even credit card transactions, ala Venmo. Or you could sign them from a device you control, as with Bitcoin. (Instead, when we get cryptographic signing for payments at all, we get cards which sign all transactions presented to them by devices the consumer doesn't control, without verifying the cardholder's intent except through the merchant's terminal, whose UI could be lying. And we're still stuck with shared secrets for online payments).

A lot is possible, the financial industry has simply chosen to put consumers (and itself) through the hassle and expense of cleaning up after fraud because it's cheaper than a serious attempt at an authentication system.

Afaik facebook was designed to be a closed walled garden from the get go and never offered interoperability despite using xmpp at first.

Google gtalk predates facebook and happened at different times, IIRC the change to a closed chat service was a reaction due to facebook abusing the openness to scrape contacts.
There's also the interesting question of language differences. While a single letter might have been good enough for Latin, Italian, French, etc. German has a stronger need for three, as shifting pronunciation of "v" as a consonant to become practically the same as "f" strangely wastes a letter and requires a new letter (which turned out to be "w") for the old sound. Meanwhile, German also has "u" and "ü" as vowels.

A bit of a nitpick, but I don't think sports in the modern sense is a military outgrowth.

I think it's something that came out of industrialization in the late 19th century. Look at the famous football clubs, they're all founded late 1800s/early 1900s, in cities. Basically guys who needed some entertainment on the one day off that many countries had instituted by then.
Well, take QuakeNet's #eurovision during the ESC. Tenthousand users, all spamming as fast as they can type.

If that is a meaningful discussion is another topic, but many chats for live evenys, especially on Twitch, have these numbers of users and messages.
> 4) Dependency struggle. AFAICS no other projects can piggy-back off WhatsApp because it's proprietary and closed. So the user base can't scratch their own itches. OK, so what about Signal? Sounds like the dependency on Google Cloud Messages and Play Services can be hacked around with great difficulty.

There is a pull request that got some quite thorough code review by moxie recently that gives users the option of _not_ using GCM, but it won't be merged until call/video support is implemented with webrtc (because it can't support calls over websockets, and just not being able to call some users isn't an option.)

And GPG is too hard for people to use. I have helped journalists with GPG, and even intelligent somewhat tech-litterate people struggle with the concepts of it. Look no further than Glen Greenwald, who almost wasn't able to communicate with Snowden.

Not quite right. What you are thinking of is household income where $400k is about the 99th percentile - usually achieved by two high earning individuals.

For individual incomes, $288k makes you a 1%er, and $200k is in the top 2.5%. [1]

A native server with a socket-based and not longpolling based transport system would indeed solve many of the issues.

But even then, Matrix will likely not scale well enough to replace Twitch's backend, or to be able to nicely handle QuakeNet's event channels.

You'll also have to have a native client at that point, because the webclient also breaks down at those amounts. And you'll need to use a binary protocol or simplistic text protocol between client and server, because otherwise the user's mobile connection won't be able to handle that traffic.

Matrix will have to change a lot of things before that scaling is easy.

There was a piece recently about the proliferation of central server based chat services by young people and newcomers with total disregard that this was just adding to the issue of those not being to talk to each other.

For some reason the people are reinventing the wheel and the problems that come with it that have already been addressed.

We actually need signal to go away and disappear for the very reason that is a walled garden casting shadows on what we actually need to grow in the long run which would be matrix and xmpp at the moment.

Fascinating read
I've always wondered about this, how do people just "decide" to start a company for the sake of itself. I've always though that companies are kinda grown organically, i.e. you have a problem you want/need to solve and it turns out to be also commercially viable.

I have projects like that, i.e. have been scratching my own itch. Sadly none of them have taken off financially or otherwise despite the great effort.

If I had to start a business/project just for "fast growth" I'd be totally clueless how to ago about it?

Is it just about picking the "hottest shit" whatever that is at the moment and trying to ride that wave?

> neo-latin

You mean 'Romance': Neo-Latin refers to the revived Latin from the Renaissance era, which is now used as a source of international scientific vocabulary.

> I strongly suspect that the real origin of w is from VV, not UU.

This is why I wrote what I wrote: the timeline for that doesn't match up. The 'W' ligature came along when 'V' and 'U' were glyphs of the same letter, not separate letters themselves. In fact, 'V'/'U' was generally pronounced when spelling it out the way you would've said 'U' at the time, with the name 'V' got coming later.

In essence: it's equally right to say 'W' came from 'VV' as it is to say it came from 'UU', as they were the same thing up until surprisingly recently, to the extent that 'U' and 'V' weren't differentiated in French until the mid-1700s.

By the way, I'm looking for contributors as there is still lots to do. If you are just learning Go or Angular 2, you are more than welcome to get involved in the project.

As a side note: It has been a pleasure working with Go for the backend. Even though there weren't that many real world projects to check out for patterns/inspiration, Go's interface/composition driven approach made things simple. It seems to me that the community really wants to stick to a few well-thought-out interfaces for common things (HTTP, databases, etc...) and this helps to keep libraries consistent and easily replaceable.

The short answer is "compatibility, and so we can get Ed25519-signed updates into e.g. WordPress".

Important to note: If you have the libsodium PHP extension installed, then ParagonIE_Sodium_Compat::foo() will proxy to \Sodium\foo() instead of using our implementation.

Installing the PHP extension gets you timing-safe guarantees AND better performance. I hope that's enough of a bargaining chip to get the extension installed everywhere (and to drive the initiative to make libsodium a core extension in PHP 7.2). https://externals.io/thread/626
