I'm kind of hoping this comes to my phone really soon. Three reasons:

* I miss having status lines as a visible message to the world. I know this isn't exactly the same thing and that Whatsapp/Gtalk/etc. have those, but they have been de-emphasized, so saying "man, I'm excited about $this" isn't likely to reach my friends.

* I'm always conflicted between using Facebook for "thoughtful" stuff (that won't embarass me in six months' time) and just posting from random whimsical observations ("I saw a pretty butterfly!") and moods/feelings. My Facebook network is too wide now, too.

* I did install Snapchat to check it out, but it's just not for my demographic. Younger people take to the internet to complement and boost their meatspace life; we 30-somethings gradually drift apart from friends but want to keep some semblance (or even illusion) of a friend base that is alive.

Overall, I've been using Facebook as a degenerated blogging/syndication platform, but miss the social features of a social platform. Hey, when is the update getting to international iPhone App Stores? I want to try it!
> Seamless usage across desktop/mobile

This isn't true for Whatsapp and was my main technical reason for leaving Whatsapp for Telegram.

(I have another post in this thread that explains my reasoning WRT security.)

I got my first cassette tape player in 1982 and Prince's "1999" album to go with it. The lead track starts with distorted vocals, and I thought my player was malfunctioning. The intro is only about ten or fifteen seconds, so unlike you, I didn't trash the tape.

Closer to topic, listening to the song "1999" as a kid, I thought it was a cheerful party song. After Prince's death, I listened to the song as an adult and realized it's about nuclear annihilation.
Could you elaborate more on that? I'm not discounting it, but the viewpoint is unfamiliar to me.

I don't see taxes as involuntary. In fact, it's clearly documented how much tax I'm expected to pay in order to receive the services that I will receive. And, I'm (theoretically) free to immigrate to somewhere else that has a different tax structure. For instance, there are several countries that don't have income tax. So, before I choose to produce income, I could choose to immigrate (ignoring the complexities of that, of course). How is it involuntary? In the US, there are even people who pay zero taxes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the issue many people seem to have with taxation is the monopolistic reign of government. Sure, government is a monopoly. But, at least I know that I have some oversight over it. And, I know that there are people actively monitoring it. That gives me more comfort than if, say, Comcast was running the government.

What would be cool is if I had more choice in service providers. But, to be honest, I'm lazy, and I really don't want to be comparing different service providers for different services. It's much easier for me to pay one provider. Now, if people could figure out how to make it work so that I had different options, that'd be really cool. But, that's theoretical political science type stuff that's beyond me. At the moment, I'm content.

Ok, that's enough online political discourse for me, for the month. lol. But, I'm eager to read the responses, if there are any. There are a lot of people on HN way smarter than me, so I'm sure you guys have some interesting ideas.
I fully agree with this. Barcelona is one of the best examples as for how the Olympic games can help.

London is a great example, but in London is easy to use the large venues. Barcelona was more challenging and they made well.

Corruption played a big part, but Sochi had zero infrastructure at the start, it all had to be built from wholecloth, and Beijing need to transform large parts of an existing city to become an international showpiece. London already has incredible infrastructure and is already iconic. It seems that the strategy the London Olympics really used was to simply extend off of the existing systems in place and build up in a cheap area bringing new economic development to that area instead of trying to retrofit the city core.
Lots of good fixes there. I've found pfsense rock solid and excellent to use, over more than half a decade, both:
- for a 250+ device network balancing loads across two consumer broadband connections, and
- as my home router and firewall, running in a virtual machine on a somewhat ageing HP Microserver N54L.
I'm always surprised people use WhatsApp at all. It consistently puts messages out of order or doesn't include them all together.

Granted, this is mostly me using it from the web ui, but it happens almost once a session.

edit: I'm not knocking it specifically, just saying i'm surprised it's so popular - for me it has common issues with basic functionality (above).

The more I think about it, the more I think this is a bluf to push drone designers to overengineer their devices.

Eagles are not scalable, but it is way simpler to train a handful of them as a proof of concept than to eagle-proof existing designs of drones. And given physical and engineering limits, every countermeasure implemented in a drone will cut into the effective payload that is available for the drone to carry on its actual function.

The eagles were never meant to defeat the drones, but to force their designers to handicap those.
I'm talking about libraries that provide higher-level concurrency constructs not implicit multithreading in a library that does, say, image manipulation. The whole point of the former is to reduce cognitive load and errors.
Yummy. No .then() chaining, no async.waterfall(), no pyramid. Not totally seamless as parent scope has to be run with `async` but still excellent:

try {
const response = await fetch(url);
console.log(await response.text());
} catch (err) {
console.log('fetch failed', err);
}
}

ok but you are misrepresenting this completely now.

>Conversely, 57 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of the country’s standing in the world. That’s the highest that number has been in a decade, according to Gallup.[1] And Trump’s approval rating, of 41 percent, is lower at this point than any other president Gallup has tracked since Dwight Eisenhower.

the link in the politifact article is very clearly talking about americans having an unfavorable view of the country, and not approval ratings.

Why are you lying?

If you look on gallup for the day of the politifact article[2], you will see that it shows % approve is 41%.

as for why they would choose the gallup approval ratings over rasmussen, there are very many answers to that question. rasmussen is an online poll, which has been viewed by pollsters since forever as much less accurate than live phone surveys (since online polls can very easily be gamed brigading, they dont verify the identity of the respondent, etc.)

The average from all the approval ratings is 45%[3]

Double Your Phone Storage Without Using Any Software
Without exit immigration, none of our airports are configured in a way that makes this workable today. There's nothing stopping someone in transit from just walking out the door.

Some airports are designed in a way to quickly facilitate this if the government ever changed its mind (IAH and LAX TBIT, I believe), but today none of our airports are set up for international sterile zones.

From the perspective of an American departing internationally, this is a bonus since you don't have to wait in line for exit formalities.
Speaking as a user of XMonad for a few years now, I think the way tiled window managers tend to present more as toolkits for assembling your own tiled window manager rather than one that's just ready-to-go for everyone is as much a disadvantage as it is an advantage. (Yes, they all have default configurations of course, but you are generally expected to customize.) When people occasionally ask me about it, I tend to advise people to pick their tiled window manager less on the putative features and more by what programming language that it is implemented in that they are comfortable in. Now, if you're fluent in one of the languages in question, that's awesome, but it does raise the bar for a lot of people.

You don't have to be an "expert" in Haskell to use XMonad, but it sure doesn't hurt if you want to do some heavier-duty customizations, like use modules that aren't even nominally a part of XMonad.
Ugh I hope not, Messenger is exactly what I don't want WhatsApp to become.
You got downvoted because:

1. Your first post was snarky and valueless.

2. Your second post whined about downvotes and was generally a condescending and boring rant.

3. You're insulting and called people humorless and cowards.

4. You're still whining.

You earned your downvotes. Get over it.
Disagree totally. There are gazillions of software developers quietly plugging away at gigantic companies with over 50k headcount whose contributions will never make it into open source. Think business intelligence software, accounting software, embedded systems developers, etc.
This. Most corps with Deep pockets already have a big team on procurement, and I have no say in what tools I am allowed to use to get my job done. All those stuff is already decided. I may go and say, "Hey, have you seen this, it's better than X", and that will not yield anything at all.
I assumed you were talking about things like concurrent queues, etc. They do implicit synchronization and enforce a specific concurrency model, so they should not be used by libraries.

I believe that automatically flags them to see if you are working in the US illegally. I always have this problem when I travel for work to SF. I was secondary screened when I said I was paid via PayPal and he didn't know what PayPal was. The girl in secondary screening had to google it to make sure I wasn't getting paid by American company but in fact was paid for a contract.
Looking at the benchmarks it looks like they've matched the top-end Core i7, which is good (especially for the price) but not a game changer. Might get them back in the game.

Given that they seem to have reduced their power consumption the server version of this core might get them back into the data center, which is really what AMD needs to do for their high-end chips. That market is larger and higher margin (AFIAK) than the gamer and pro-desktop markets.

I'd be curious to see some more detailed benchmarks though: math-heavy code, TensorFlow, memory bandwidth under heavy load, virtualization, etc. Looking at this chip and it's high clock speed it might be really good for memory bandwidth intensive loads.
Certainty. Before an election there is uncertainty and consequently an unknown risk. Elections remove the uncertainty irrespective of who wins what and make the risks more knowable. The business cycle reflects the elections. Rising stock markets are one form of business cycle expression when alternative investments are less attractive: e.g. if the money markets were returning 6% stock prices would probably be lower.

So Greece, for example, becomes responsible for the maintenance and updates to the facilities, which they obviously can't afford now? Having a single host country works only if all the participating countries chip in annually according to their GNP or some other measure of their financial worth. How, then, is that enforced? You can always exclude those countries who are in arrears but that only harms the athletes. For example, losing the Kenyan runners from the Olympics because their country won't or can't pay would be a travesty and cheapen the events. Either that or the world class athletes would relocate to a wealthy nation, sending yet another blow to their home country.
Glad you brought this up. I use a NAS drive as a mapped network drive, that's cloud synced with one drive for business, and I also have that NAS doing hyper backup to both Google Drive and a local plugged in external HD.

There was a sync problem that I had to address but before that I went to check to see if I could download the backup from Google Drive (this is very slow for larger backups) and open with hyper explorer to restore all the files at least to my computer so I could provide end users with what they need.

Once the .zip file completed and the many parts downloaded and extracted I went to open the backup file with hyper explorer. Everything looked good but of course I need to test a true restore so I want to see if I could save a pdf and open it.

"partial file restored" - guess what it couldn't open.

That sent me into a panic. Now nothing was lost or down because the cloud sync was the only thing having issues so everyone could still work and properly access the NAS but now I'm thinking "great my backup wasn't a backup because it's useless."

I'm currently in the midst of trying to figure out what to do now, the external works but I wanted the offsite hyper backup to be my savior in case of a flood/fire or external HD failure.

The popular advice specially on HN is to go with low cost Index Funds primarily provided by Vanguard. I personally prefer Fidelity and their low cost Index funds which are FUSEX and FUSVX. Both have very low expense ratio and their returns have consistently beaten the so called "target date" funds.

If you do use Vanguard, there is VFINX that is similar.

The reason index funds are so popular is because they consistently beat the other high cost mutual funds and their costs/fee are much lower.

I'm trying to stay away from Messenger but it does have one significant advantage over WhatsApp - it can be used on multiple devices seamlessly, which is useful when I have a work phone and my personal phone.
I used to wonder how Facebook planned to monetize WhatsApp, I am beginning to find the answer :

> Status could also open up new advertising opportunities for WhatsApp. If it followed Snap and Instagram’s lead, it could insert full-screen ads in-between friends’ Statuses.

I really liked WhatsApp's business model before the aquisition : user's pay a small annual fee to use the app. What was cool to see was that the network effects were so strong that people who had never paid for an app or subscription service paid for WhatsApp. If they kept the service paid I doubt it would have reached the 1 billion users mark so quickly, but just humour me here : with 1 billion users they would have atleast 1 billion dollars in ARR. That would have been cool. They could have focused on what they do best : provide a no BS end to end encrypted messenger which respects the user's privacy. (Yes, I am aware of Signal and I use it).

I am curious to see how Facebook balances the need to monetize vs to the need to maintain WhatsApp's reputation as a service that respects users' privacy.

There's a group of us specifically talking about running another big alt.net 'unconference' here in the UK, but we're also keen to rekindle wider interest in the whole open source .NET ecosystem, and the kind of ideas that fuelled the first wave of alt.NET. For now we've got people posting their own things and we're using Medium (https://medium.com/altdotnet) as an aggregator, but nobody owns this; there's no trademarks or anything. If you want to kickstart something in your own community, go for it. We're going to be talking to other community groups and some of the extant alt.NET meetups that are still running, and share their ideas about community engagement, how to promote diversity and inspire enthusiasm, that kind of thing.

And it's great to see such a positive reaction. Thank you :)

Is that really true? Here are lists of acquisitions by Amazon and Google:

+ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitio...

+ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitio...

The vast majority of acquisitions are uneventful and added positive value to the acquirer. Maybe you're thinking of high-profile multi-billion dollar failures like Daimler+Chrysler, HP+Compaq, Microsoft+Nokia. It's possible that the amount of negative press those failures receive distorts the perception of the (quiet) successful acquisitions.
I would vote up except for the scatalogical humor.
No, but that wasn't the question. If we could run a collective by facts and optimal herd ideology, democracy would be obsolete.

The only thing we can do is understand WHY something happens, then try to work to change it (if it's bad, which is an entirely different can of worms of a problem).
I'd bet any amount of money that this data already exists in some form and so re-inventing the wheel - haha - with this study was not particularly useful. Like the parent comment says, water is wet.

In order for taxes to be voluntary, not only do you need to know in advance what the rules for calculating them as well as what you would receive, but you would also need the ability to opt out of paying for and receiving the service. Being able to emigrate is irrelevant because:

1. You would still have a tax burden (at least if you are American)

2. If your only option to avoid something is being expelled from your home, it hardly qualifies as involuntary.

I am also generally content with my tax burden, however I still felt the need to defend people who aren't because at a theoretical level they are correct.
