WhatsApp is really the first E2E messaging app that you can actually get your friends to use because it's blazing fast, the UI is friendly, and the E2E is 99% transparent.

You don't actually have to verify the signatures in WhatsApp assuming that at some point you believe you're talking to the right person which can be gleaned a million different ways. Then you can/should be suspicious if it changes.

Right, those are good numbers for the price, comparable to the 1080 Ti, so this bodes well for using them for mining... however we will have to see if there are any gotchas (the access patterns for mining are different than for games, so for instance GDDR5X was less effective than GDDR5 despite being theoretically faster.)
Not sure where you're located but here in the UK (or Italy) SMS are not free, unless you have a mobile plan and/or you're texting someone on the same network. Good luck if you're texting someone in another country.

I agree that Musk and other proponents of transportation innovation could do more to support the efforts of their municipalities by promoting walking, biking, buses, etc, but that seems like a poor argument against pursuing innovative concepts.

Before pursuing innovation, it's worth knowing what came before you.

Push a comment to the extreme and of course it fails. The point that takeout makes more waste than cooking at home is very real. I don't do anything crazy, have a landfill I'm my yard, etc. My neighbors had a family the same size as mine. Each week their trash cans (2 of them) would be overflowing and my single can was 3/4 full, sometimes​only 1/2. The only real difference - they ate tons of takeout, ready made it frozen and we eat out once a month and cook our own meals.

Yes my pasta comes wrapped in plastic and my vinegar in a plastic bottle like everyone else - but it doesn't compare to the waste of takeout and frozen dinners.

Can you buy a pocket full of rice? No, but why would you? Buy a huge bag at Costco and see how long that lasts. That is how you reduce waste per meal.

It would be interesting to see that chart updated to 2017 data. It appears the downward slope becomes significantly less steep around 2009 (looks like the price dropped as much from 2006-2008 as it did in the five years 2009-2014), and I’d be interested in seeing how recent SSD prices affect this. As far as I can see, rotational HDD technology is at the end of its S-curve, whereas SSD technology is still relatively new.

I teach this as part of an internal developer class; one important thing to note is that it applies to certain classes of non-perishable items. Not the books themselves, but the ideas the books contain. We talk about how things like the presentation framework du jour (e.g., many Javascript frameworks) change rapidly, while tech deeper in the stack turns over less frequently (middleware, operating systems, etc.) And we ask about why some tech survives.

The lesson here is that things that last have developed certain adaptations to make them last. It's always worth studying why some oft-repudiated or outdated tech won't die; it is almost always because it possesses some key attribute present that is essential. If you're proposing a new framework, or promoting a new idea, it is essential you understand why these crufty old incumbents are still around, and see whether your new framework or idea embodies those old adaptations.

I've learned a lot about how flashy surface features (which compete well against new tech at the surface level) can be inferior to tech that embodies what the incumbents did well.
I once used wired ($200?) Sony noise cancelling headphones to listen to music in the office (and on airline flights). They wore out a few years ago, and instead of replacing with another pair of big $ NC headphones, I bought "Sentey LS-4560 B-trek H9 Bluetooth Wireless Foldable Headphones with Carrying Case" for $40[1]. They obviously don't noise cancel, but since I listen to music anyway, and get great non-cancelling isolation from the new phones, I don't really miss the NC aspect; the only place where I believe NC is dramatically superior to these headphones is on airline flights. And I take so few of those these days, I can't justify the expense.

We should never have to read a title "disable immediately" by a developer. In a news article. That is not how this should be distributed, in case the original developer is the one distributing the news.

Instead, Google should generate an emergency disable code that a developer can put into a simple web form from anywhere in the world, even if the developer has been locked out of every one of their accounts, which immediately centrally disables that extension.

How it should work.

Parts.

1. "revocation code generation" and explanation. Text like: "this is a secret revocation code. Anyone who learns it can immediately disable your extension. Keep it secure and separate from all of your production systems. You will be able to use it even if locked out of all other acccess."

2. A web form people can submit revocation codes to, from anywhere with Internet access.

The code should be very high-entropy and generated by Google. However, it should not have ambiguous characters like 1 and capital I.

I personally would generate it using a dicewords-like wordlist. Also, I personally would ensure it had approximately 384 bits of total entropy of which one third is a recovery checksum.
This enables the developer to write many words down wrong and still be able to disable their extension. In case the recovery record/checksum portion were used, I would offer the user the result "You appeared to have made a mistake which we could correct. Is this the correct disable key?" then show the corrected version.

However, this last idea seems to be beyond the state of cryptography worldwide (i.e. for some reason I have written something that exceeds best practices worldwide, like I'm from the future or something), so I understand if Google's cryptographers don't implement this part.

The above seems a bit grandiose of me so here is the comment where I first wrote about this:

Happy sharelatex user here. I'd say one of the essential advantages is rock solid simultaneous editing. I converted a couple of word users and they were instantly hooked.

I find the first part particularly interesting. I always contemplated of whether or not I should start blogging. And for me it always seemed an obvious choice between whether or not I want to host my own blog, which would mean a lot of energy and money investment, or if I should start a medium page, possibly losing control over my texts and page views.

When you now say that it's a hassle to setup and even costs money, why should anybody use Medium? Do people not know how much you already gift a page if you let them host your content? They should pay you and not the other way around.
> I don't think so. Chinese firewall can block VPN. For example, the easiest way to see if the user is using a VPN is to count a number of IP addresses they connect to.

China is a special case as unlike most other countries, all major ISPs are state owned. When you own every internet connection in the country, it's much easier to spot VPNs.

When you're say Comcast, you only see the connections your customers make and accept, you can't see what VPN servers are doing.

> How exactly?

In countries other than China, where government control is less prevalent and the government is overtly democratic, false positives will result in anger in the populace, which will lead to the person implementing the policy losing power or at the very least, a degree of support.
Isn't installing an extension a "deliberate, explicit user action"?
90% of developers are working in languages where you can't really do much about cache misses, or doing so will at least involve some very non-idiomatic code. If you can't do much about the problem it's not really helpful to be thinking about it much.

The guy in the video says:

"You don't really want to be relying on regulations, we learned all the way back in 2009 that those subsidies can be removed anytime."

What exactly do regulations have to do with subsidies? Aren't regulations the rules of the game where a government is keeping an eye out over an industry? If there are subsidies involved, aren't these separate from regulations? Are we seeing here a conflation of regulations with subsidies and therefore a message of "regulations are bad"?
More or less why I run a fairly minimal set of extensions. I was looking for a bulk downlowned about a week ago, and the only ones I found requested "Read data from all websites", which is a lot of trust to put in something I have limited ability to test/know if it is malicious.

Side note: Chrome appears to have moved Extensions out of Settings since I last looked, and the "search settings" bar doesn't bring it up either. Took me a few minutes to find how to get to them.

That's such a weird comment, because they literally were.

I think I understand what you mean, but I also think that you underestimate the impact that the introduction of the tulip to Europe had on the economy. If you browse through the Wikipedia page, I think you will find it interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania

Also interesting is the effect that it still has on the economy. Some of the big flower monopolies that still exist today (nearly 400 years later!) were created by people who speculated on tulip bulbs and diversified quickly enough (mostly by using profits to buy up land).

We tend to think about things from our own perspectives, but when you are looking at that time period, imports of agricultural products to the wealthy is what ruled the world. Just like they were able to saturate their market, so will we with abstract financial products. Those who are able to diversify quickly enough will probably be the next big winners. Those who keep buying graphic cards will probably be the next big losers.

U2F physical keys specifically. Physical keys that generate OTPs would not protect you.
I teach the Boston "Big Dig" as it ties the Lindy Effect to schedule estimation. Fred Brooks was knocking on the door of this with the Mythical Man Month: adding developers to a late project only makes it later. But Lindy Effect would say that late projects in and of themselves make themselves later.

Same difference, I guess.

Because it's the only instance of a computer that you can expect majority of users to own and always have on them.

2FA as a thing would not get any reasonable adoption if you required people to buy hardware keys to use it. Not to mention, hardware keys do not work on every device one would like to log in from (AFAIK you can't plug in a Yubikey to an Android tablet, and it may not have NFC built in).

> self-driving-ability increases the willingness of people to idle their cars in traffic

I disagree with this premise. There is a cost to idling in traffic: electricity/gas expended while idling, and the opportunity cost of recharging/refilling before going home, if your car idled too much. Reducto ad absurdum: there will always be a need for airport parking lots.

If there is income to be made, Uber-style, from idling your autonomous car, effectively decreasing the costs of idling, then it's easy enough for the municipality to tax income from services like Uber untill some equilibrium is reached, whereby most people are incentivized, like today, to take high-throughput public transit. Everything old is new again: particularly, taxi medallions.

If value isn't created out of "thin air", so to speak, their is no intellectual property for people to want, and nothing for the government to bother enforcing.

"I think it can be argued that the pursuit of happiness is the real cause of sadness."
- that's a very interesting idea to meditate on.

I think it is true- but specifically when we limit happiness to very low forms of it (cheesecake, casual sex, meaningless gratifications, etc.)

That's not a small point - it's very true when we're talking about that, and I believe it is the type of happiness that is pursued with the most energy, most of the time.

However - if we re-frame happiness to some other definition, say the happiness one finds in keeping a home sanitary, or helping a friend, or building something useful, then I think it has the opposite effect. e.g. the happiness that comes from learning something new that improves the lives of you and those around you, is not the same as that which comes from getting drunk. Pursuing the first will not lead to sadness, but pursuing the latter will.

You are assuming the value of time spent on these activities is inherently positive.

Much of that "value" is built on the fact that previous code, or dependencies, aren't available to the commons, either for reuse or for inspection (security experts "create value" from fixing flaws caused by proprietary hardware or software, software consultants "create value" when they fix the same types of issues across frameworks or systems): artificial scarcity and broken Windows (pun intended) fallacies abound.
