I really don't understand the "hate" for Telegram on HN. I understand that its not (allegedly) as secure as signal for example, but like you said, state actors etc have other ways of getting that info (see xkcd [1]).

I personally use Telegram when talking to my wife because it lets me have a client on every platform i use and the messages follow me. I could do that with some of the other platforms as well, but im already on this platform, the wife is on the platform, and some other family members as well. Now would it be better if it was "more" secure? Of course it could, I mean, we could all be communicating with PGP as well, but most people don't because its a pain to use. So to me personally, Telegram is a useful middle ground between great security and usability.

As a added bonus, using the bot framework that Telegram offers, i have started creating a home automation bot. The framework is really fun and easy to use.

To be fair, if you're willing to pay US prices you'll also get immediate treatment. There are enough private clinics with no waiting list that will treat you immediately. But insurances that cover those are not much cheaper than US health care.
Whoever feels like having more of this can watch Louis van Gaal’s press conferences. :)
Are they allowing you to have accounts that don't depend on your phone number yet? I think last I checked you could only login with your phone number, which I consider extremely insecure, especially against a nation state agent (you'd think the Telegram team would care more about that, considering where they come from - and in fact, I believe there were some reports of Russian government hacking people like this with the help of national carriers, too).

That assumes the Telegram team aren't part of the nation state apparatus, surely.

Yeah, it's cool. And it's cool that the author thinks about it. You could repurpose what was meant to carry audio and do cool things with it. The problem is: You still can. You'll need an external DAC in the worst case, you needed extra parts before anyway. Except now, by communicating digitally, you get a more reliable signal and potentially higher throughout.
It's a bit more effort to build a nice product, but DIY projects can still just use audio dongles.
The removal of the built in audio jack won't hurt us much.

The same rationale used to blame police as a whole for the corruption of a few is also used to justify the attitudes of the police presented in this article, on the basis that any random black individual is more likely to be violent or prone to criminal activity.

That the police and black people are not precisely the same sort of entity is irrelevant.
Kdenlive crashes _a lot_. But recently I discovered that it crashes much less if GPU effects are disabled and the binaries from their webpage (not from Debian, etc.) are used. Still it can be frustrating to use just because of the crashing, otherwise a quite nice program...

Cellphones, Tablets, Fitbits Could Be Banned from Pentagon Under Mattis Review
When calculated as a function of GDP, the US isn't that much more innovative compared to other countries. Creating new molecular entities at a higher rate than other countries was the only argument I ever had against a single payer system, but research seems to say that we're not innovating (with respect to GDP) as much as we think we are. From this[1] comment about a 2010 study (and the first result in search about cost):

I don't know all of the ins-and-outs of funding, but this[0] study says that there are other countries developing NMEs at a proportionately faster rate than the US.

From the discussion section:

>Pharmaceutical innovation is an international enterprise. Although the United States is an important contributor to pharmaceutical innovation, we found that more than 20 countries contributed to the development of the 288 NMEs with patents at the time of approval. More than 171 companies were involved in the development of these NMEs, and the vast majority of companies were multinationals with facilities located in more than 2 countries. We also found that the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Belgium, and a few other countries innovated proportionally more than their contribution to the global GDP or prescription drug spending, whereas Japan, Spain, Australia, and Italy innovated less.

Granted I know that GDP isn't the end-all be-all for determining how drugs can be financed, but I think there is something to learn from the study and how other countries do business while continuing to innovate.

There should be a notification "your app is about to be removed, please contact us to solve the issue." (I'm assuming there wasn't because of other horror stories I've read.) If my business's service was suddenly down for 2-3 days due to some externality I couldn't immediately correct, it would be a death knell.
Exactly. Maybe the mutation that helps the stem cells accumulate also helps them survive fasting. But fasting is a cheap and relatively safe way to perturb the cells and see what happens.

I think a good first step would be to track down people who regularly practice prolonged fasting, and then find people who match them as closely as possible on all other biometrics. We could then take blood samples and compare the prevalence of the CHIP mutation in their white blood cells. If there's a significant difference then it would be worth further investigation.

I can't speak for Finland but to me Uber seems similar to Facebook in many ways (though it currently doesn't seem like Uber is as successful internationally):

Taxi apps started out in 2007/2008 according to Wikipedia, most apps I'm personally aware of (in Western Europe) seem to have popped up at some point in 2010, roughly the same time as Uber launched in the US. I remember using a taxi app in 2011 but the signup was too much of a hassle compared to just dialing the local taxi dispatch number for the city. Currently taxi.eu seems to be the most successful brand in Germany but it's still far from ubiquitous. Uber isn't available (except for UberX, which is using a third-party limousine service, and UberTaxi, which is using regular taxis) for obvious reasons.

Facebook expanded beyond English-speaking students in late 2006. Prior to its launch in Germany there were a number of competitors, most prominently StudiVZ (later MeinVZ) which started in late 2005 and targeted German-speaking students exclusively (StudiVZ was obviously drew inspiration from Facebook at several points but I recall similar networks popping up -- and dying -- even earlier than that). There were also more general social networks like Lokalisten (founded mid 2005) and Werkenntwen (launched in late 2006) that also had similar features to Facebook and attempted to build similar online communities.

Many of these sites were initially far more popular than Facebook. Because Facebook wasn't initially available in German, Facebook was simply not relevant at the time. It was just one network among many and it didn't have much appeal.

Over time more people joined Facebook for various reasons and eventually the alternatives faded into obscurity. Many of the networks that were widely known at the time don't even have a Wikipedia article and didn't get much news coverage at the time, so it's easy to forget they even existed. Instead Facebook is credited as having been revolutionary in ways that simply don't hold up to scrutiny.

It seems the perception of Uber is similar to that of Facebook, except the competitors are still around. I don't think Uber was a necessary nor sufficient factor in popularising taxi apps. I'm not familiar with the situation in Finland but considering what is happening elsewhere, I'm not convinced Uber caused taxi apps to become a thing, taxi apps were already becoming a thing alongside Uber and maybe you're just seeing a causation where there's only a correlation at best.
Looks to be UI related stuff, some of which looks automatically generated to some extent, some parts look boilerplate.
Having files with many LoCs can be unavoidable when the system you're building on encourages design like that (.NET comes to mind, wouldn't be surprised if Android was like that as well), and does not necessarily mean that it's badly engineered.
Too bad good Bluetooth earphones are still ridiculously expensive and the cheap ones (Taotronics ) keep breaking. I'll consider them again when the extra cost for the Bluetooth hardware (it shouldn't be more than 5€) gets to a manageable level.
> So to me personally, Telegram is a useful middle ground between great security and usability.

Same. I tried Signal a couple of years ago but the iOS app was prone to crashing, corrupting messages, and just plain losing words. Not really what you want.

> The framework is really fun and easy to use.

Yeah, I've done a couple of bots for it and it's pretty handy.
That's an entirely different and far more rational argument for the policy. It does nothing to validate (and in some sense is the opposite of) the "secret messages" argument.

I didn't really read any symbolism into this. I think it's more that it was a great mystery. The island is so out of the way the presence of a derelict lifeboat is going to intrigue people and motivate them to figure who was there, when they were there, and what they were doing.

> If you're from Europe you should know about the greek debt crisis, but you just blame them for being lazy so we should destroy their GDP by imposing austerity and perpetual loans they can't repay.

People in Europe don't care about what happens one border away. The events in Greece, Italy, Ireland and Spain generated very little sympathy in the rest of Europe. I sometimes get the impression very few people care about what happens one city away.

That's one thing that always amazes me about America. Every tragedy, or big event generates big reactions across the US. New Yorkers care about San Franciscans, Alaskans care about Texans. We could use some of that in Europe.

I find it incredible that there is no massive protests in Holland about what their Finance Minister is doing to Greek pensioners. There is no real argument made in the press about Greeks being lazy, as far as I can tell. They just don't care, and therefore it can't cost a dime. Even if that means tens of thousands of people's lives are destroyed. Not a peep.

Europe survives because it's providing such a sweet deal for it's politicians, and because it makes a certain kind of economic sense. Normal people, in Holland and elsewhere, are dead against it. And the EU knows this: the EU was already strongly opposed to any election or referendum about the EU (because they lost EVERY election they ever ran about the EU, they are aware of this, that's why you have Macron declare that he must prevent at all costs a referendum about the EU in France). The EU is not democratic, and it can't be : it would be voted out of existence in any fair election almost anywhere in it's borders.

Ironically the EU's leaders, who proclaim themselves democrats, are preventing referenda and elections exactly because they know they'd lose them.

Of course it'll be it's undoing, as exactly that is being used as an excuse for extreme centralization of power (since the parliament, in a fair vote, would get voted out of existence, all the commission has to do to get whatever it wants is to threaten to organize it. And of course, the commissars are exactly the people who have the power to do exactly that. But there needs to be a show for "democracy" so the parliament exists). It's a matter of time until one or the other opposing interest actually gets another referendum through. For instance, Le Pen got as far as she did, further than the extreme right ever got, by promising just that. So did five star, according to the press. Sooner or later the dam will break.

Liskov Substitution Principle, or How to Create Beautiful Abbreviations
My use case is to cut segments from one video file and append the segments together. This way I can trim ads or parts I don't want.

The aged virtualdub does this as long as the container is avi (the codec could be avc/h.264 etc). I used avidemux to convert mp4 to avi without reencoding (just change the container format), then use virtualdub to trim it.

Actually I just write time stamps in a text file then use a groovy script to generate a script can be read by virtualdub, run virtualdub with the script to do the trimming.

It has worked for me for many years.

Sounds pretty cool. My biggest problems with xargs is that I had constantly some weird edge cases, so I try to avoid it. As GNU parallel doesn't seem to be part of standard installations it would be an external dependency for a script, which I try to avoid too.

So I ended up using the loop syntax:

for i in {0..9}; do
echo "$i" &
done
wait

It is not so Unix like, but I find it easier to debug. It would be great if Oil would have a solution for limiting that kind of parallel execution too. I am aware that this isn't simple as there are different options here how to implement it (global limit vs. local limit vs. named limit).

Just an idea from the top of my head an idea for an optional named limit:

Lets call it 'flow':

flow [options] [command]':
-n number of max parallel processes
-c (optional) identifier of the counter.

Example:

for i in {0..9}; do
flow -c myCounter -n 4 echo "$i"
done

Just an idea.

Depends on the type of work being done. If you're looking at a lot of employees that need to do focused work like coding, then you need a place where they can shut their doors, but with adequate meeting space dedicated for their use. As a software engineer, I loathe the open floor plan because I cannot get anything done. (Struggling with that now and actively searching for a new job because of it.)

When I was in operations, having an open-ish war room with a few shared displays of monitors where everyone can talk was helpful during a crisis only. That is easily replicated with a good chat software like Slack, if the ops team needs to work around quieter groups. Outside of a crisis, the openness was only useful for gossiping. Of course, outside of a crisis OPs have a much more limited number of jobs because they exist to fix the crisis situations, so the extra chatter really helps the group cohesion under pressure.

I would suggest asking your teams to make formal recommendations as teams about their future work space. A command decision, no matter how well grounded in research, will devalue the needs of your people and lead to sub-optimal spaces. They are unique groups, and may not need to follow the "best" industrial patterns.

Also, don't let the managers overrun the conversation. Otherwise you will end up with spaces that make it easier to micromanage people rather than get work done. Panopticons, where management are in offices while workers are in highly exposed open spaces, lead to higher turn over every single time. You want spaces where people can work conveniently, not where managers can manage easily.
It's a neat way to teach people how to program distributed systems at this scale but I don't understand why they wouldn't use the Raspberry Pi Compute Moudle instead of normal Raspberry Pis. Using the Compute Modules would, I'd think, make for a much easier to integrate system, even possibly allowing higher density of processors per unit volume.
I really wish there was much better details on costs on such large public projects (and institutions). Between the extreme costs of public works like these, healthcare, college education, there is a cost disease that needs to be figured out and addressed.

> More granularity is needed.

I feel like one big step forward on that would be requiring the disclosure of detailed budgets and expenses for all such semi-regulated institutions/projects receiving large portions of their budgets from public funding.

Is your goal building an Android application or learning a new language?

Instead of asking "Should I use Kotlin or Java to create an Android application?" ask yourself "Do I want to create an Android application using Kotlin or Java?"

You're going to get mixed answers from external forces because this is a mostly subjective question. People who used Java for 10 years will obviously recommend one over the other, while early Kotlin adopters will praise their own choice.

The biggest concern when choosing a language should be "Can I achieve the same results?" in this case is a yes, because you can always use both in the same project if you need to dive deep into some Android API.

Put 10-15 minutes into a simple Hello World in each one, and see which one is more fun and engaging for you to learn.

How to find customers?

This is really the first item in the critical path. Nothing else matters until this is solved. Time spent on anything else before this is answered is mostly wasted and there will be a strong incentive to spend time on everything but this because finding customers is harder than coming up with pricing, imagining ways to make trainings successful, following tips, printing business cards, renting office space, etc.

There's no checklist for finding customers, just a lot of potential rejection (and perhaps no acceptance if there is no reasonably accessible market). This is not particular to software training, freelance programming, private piano lessons, etc. Finding customers is the fundamental first step of a business...and it mostly comes down to being able to sell yourself and close sales. There are no shortcuts.

Good luck.
