I dont grok this, if tcp's model has fundamental problems how come the Internet works. :)

The fact that a protocol technically is not perfect and causes jip for isps does not mean the application layer has to get involved.

I've been writing tcp based apps for years and the stream abstraction has never failed me. After reading this I dont see why I should change that assumption? I have to rebuild connections occasionally but its never cost my application so much that an alternative more complicated abstraction layer made sense.
I usually write req/response over tcp, an even more inaccurate abstraction. Occasionally nonblocking code. Never have I wanted more complexity than nio in my application layer.

Devs do know that "tcp is not a stream of bytes" but deliberately do not want to get app code involved.
They've been pretty good at ignoring that for the past decades

My main gripe with it - are the closed questions. I think half the time I end up on SO - the questions is unanswered and closed. Delete the thread at least, why waste time of people searching for an answer to get frustrated by your over-zealous mods. Damn I hate when that happens. There were instances where the closed-unanswered question was the only place in the entire www where this was asked... :/

I guess that if we can interact with (measure) a separate universe, then we should adjust our definition of "universe".
>If there are truly separate "universes", then by definition wouldn't it be the case that there would be no way to test (or falsify) whether they exist or not

This literally contradicts what the first paragraph of the article. It says that this paper "lays the theoretical groundwork for discovering a parallel universe". If you've discovered it, you've tested and proved that it exists.

Furthermore, the article states that it's a "mathematical paper which seeks proof of the 'multiverse' theory". Assume for a second that there is mathematical proof of the multiverse theory. In order to disprove this, you now need to disprove the math.
At this point, if we discovered something resembling the current conceptions of parallel universe, we would probably just re-define "universe" to refer to what we traditionally think of as a universe. In much the same way that we do not have any problem with talking about sub-atomic particles; even though that is sub-atomic is a concept that does not make any sense.

In this case, from the article, it sounds like there is only a very weak interaction. In fact, since it is only "evidence" left behind in background radiation, it is possible that there is no ongoing interaction, but rather some remaining artifact from when the universes did interact.

To attempt to clarify the question:

Are you saying "separate universes" would be part of the same "universe" if they could be interacted with (so interaction forms the "universe boundary")?

> If there are truly separate "universes", then by definition wouldn't it be the case that there would be no way to test (or falsify) whether they exist or not.

Well, if the multiple universes theory provides falsifiable predictions about this universe and is the simplest explanatory model we have for this universe and said predictions / behavior, then the explanation would not be metaphysical at all. For example, if a multiple universe theory was a requisite basis to a universal theory of gravity and quantum mechanics then it would be perfectly within the realm of the physical sciences.

>>> In fact, they are highly incentivized to minimize harms to users.

You may be right. But it really depends who the users are and the kind of Don Corleone proposal the management of the social media company might get. (hint : some group of very powerful people can be the most important users of FB and can make it a proposal that they can't refuse; people like a shady government bureau)

>>> You’re also hosting your mail on god knows what server, controlled by a company with a lot less security resources than Google.

The question is not security. The question is who manages the server and who he abides to. Security doesn't mean nothing as as long as the server is cracked/owned, all your data will be open.
Oh, I was a bit too quick there it seems. Thanks! :-)
I guess it depends on whether the "universes" are really separate as you say. If we could detect the existence of other universes, it would mean that there's some sort of relationship among universes. If we cannot detect them at all, either they don't exist or they're completely separate, and our inability to detect them won't tell us anything about which of the two scenarios is true.

When we're talking about "parallel universes", of course the word "universe" no longer means the sum of everything that exists. It has to be redefined as a suitable subset of existence, perhaps similar to the way we've learned to distinguish the "observable universe" with the universe proper. How we ought to redefine it will depend on what we find out (or not) about parallel universes (or lack thereof) in the coming decades and centuries.

We're a software company, we decided to educate our own DPO. While learning about GDPR and preparing our processes and applications, we developed a solution which can help other companies to comply.

It's still in a beta and it's open source: https://github.com/gdprhq/GdprHq.Io.ClientSdk

For us, it helps a lot to see the actual source code and links between methods and articles from the GDPR.

To be ready for GDPR, we have several things on our to-do list:
1. prepare business processes, identify personal data, processors, processing activities and lawful basis, etc.
2. modify our internal applications to make them compatible with GDPR (data subject requests, e.g. right to be forgotten); internal applications are the one we develop for our own usage, e.g. for quotes, invoices, subscriptions and similar
3. assure that processors we're sending personal data are working on compliance, e.g. SaaS services we're using for website visitor analytics, mail campaigns, etc.
4. modify applications we're selling to our customers; it's also important to ensure that apps we're selling are GDPR compliant if our customers will store their personal data in them

Developing our own solution was the best way to learn GDPR :)

If my hoster decides they don't like me anymore, I can move my business elsewhere within the hour. Can you move AWS Lambda to another provider within the hour?

Stories like this totally make sense to me. Dreams are the most fearful force in our lives. A teacher needs to transfer inspirations to their students just as much as knowledge and experience. Experience can be gained by exposure, but inspirations can totally exist without much exposure. As a student, when you don't have inspirations then the lack of (or the existence thereof) practical exposure sucks, but many things were dreamed about for a long time before becoming a reality.

I didn't know what an actual computer was until I was 11. I am a millennial, only 30 now, but I was one of those people who only knew about the magical computers through my dad's stories and books. In the first 10 years of my life, I grew up poor as a church mouse in a rural area in Vietnam. To tell you how bad it was, I'm a male and only barely over 5ft and 100lbs now. My dad, who was a college lecturer, told us about him learning English and how to use MS-DOS on his 1.2MB floppy disk in the early 1990s -- it was mind-blowing to my 6-year-old brain. Everything you need is in this small package. If you want to delete something, just press a key instead of scratching it!

I just had the first blip of making an impact by shipping a free software product that many people find useful which I first shared here. I am quite convinced that people don't just use that software because it is useful and functional to them. Compared to a $300 commercial product that has everything working correctly my free software project that uses $100 worth of hardware is a piece of buggy brahmin shit. People tried it because it gets them inspired. Shortly after I announced, it set up pictures of people trying and making awesome setups on the homepage. I also made a subreddit to share stories and ask questions, and a personal blog telling why and how I'm making progress and what I was really thinking when I made those decisions. I am still very much a real person that has opinions, dreams, and ideals. I haven't turned into an intelligent PR speech machine that says the empty words. That is something a company that sells those products can't deliver compared to a hipster dude living in a hole like me can. I am living in a dream as much as the adopters of my software.

I used to see a quote on a professor's office door when I was an undergrad that said: "People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel."

Blockchains are often treated as a general solution to all kinds of problems, but imho they are an ingenious solution to a rather specific, ecological problem. A lot of the time when a new start-up proudly proclaims that they use a blockchain for X task, "why not just SQLite" is actually a viable question that is rarely ever answered honestly. This is a hyperbole, but I made my point.
Commenters on Internet forums don’t see them as surveillance platforms, from which they must hide their views.

These are platforms for speech. People crave and seek such platforms, and frankly I think they provide a valuable service in disseminating ideas that corporate entities have no incentives to.

It verges on absurd to criticize platforms designed to transmit public speech on the grounds that they might leak that information.

There seems to be a quaint archetype floating in the collective consciousness with an image of privacy that has never existed, outside of recluses living in exile from their community.

Historically, anyone living in a small community had such a lack of privacy, that it would be intolerable to many modern city dwellers.

There needs to be a more nuanced and realistic concept of how personal information is managed, by all entities who touch it.

Well, to be fair… if he suffers from the same ailment, I quite easily can imagine his look, actually.
I think it depends on how you use it. I look at app blogs for very specific things: roadmap posts, changelogs, bug reports filed and fixed, etc. I like knowing that the devs of various apps I use are not only active, but willing to make changes public. If you already have a user forum, you probably don't need a blog; assuming you have one specific pinned news thread that you keep up to date. If you don't you're misusing your forum.

If you can include a series of user guides for various topics related to your app, or prove (preferably with visual examples) how your app provides a solution to some issue or whatnot, then your blog will have value. If you already have a wiki or a forum, you probably don't need a blog.

If you think you have something worth sharing that's important to others outside the specific niche your app fills but tangential to it, go for it; but you'd probably be better off on Facebook or Twitter.

There cannot be a mathematical proof of a physical fact. You can have infinite number of theories that are all mathematically correct, yet contradict each other.

"Fuck, nobody even uses any somewhat "secure" messenger, people use WhatsApp and Telegram (and even dare to speak about them in terms of "privacy", which is mind boggling) and nobody gives a fuck about anything"

So I was wondering, why you did not mention Signal or Diaspora then?

It is easy to bitch, but there are actual things you can do. Even it is only tell people of alternatives. And while I by myself don't even tried Diaspora yet, I like that it exists and getting more mature. And Signal I do use and see no downside compared to WhatsApp, except most people beeing too lazy to change or having, oh my god, 2 installed messengers.

And my main issue with signal, that it uses Google Servers, is something that could be changed in the future, as far as I know, but till then, it is still 100% open source and private

> many Vietnamese went to the US [..] they can see firsthand the benefits of living in the US

This applies to many countries. Why does it specifically influence Vietnamese perceptions more?

> Vietnamese are fiercely capitalistic

This is true, but again, they're hardly alone. Chinese are fiercely capitalistic as well - and in the same context as the Vietnamese, within the framework of a nominally communist society. Why doesn't your theory apply there, too?

I think the situation is much more nuanced than these too-obvious theories, or that can be surfaced in superficial "attitude" surveys. As mentioned in other comments, Vietnamese are deeply (and IMO rightfully) suspicious of China, despite the state's theoretical status as an ally. The USA, despite its history of botched and ham-handed interventions, is ultimately seen as a friend. There's a love/hate aspect to that attitude too, similar to Filipino attitudes to some extent. The absence of military bases in-country helps by keeping the notion theoretical, rather than the often-negative daily experience of having foreign soldiers around a la Korea and Japan.

Anyway, without getting too much into the weeds of theorising and speculation, my point was that it's complex - more complex than the OP suggested. Nostalgia for the South Vietnamese flag is a niche sentiment at best, and attitudes to the USA are a complicated product of history and pragmatism. "90% positive" does not capture the nuance, in my opinion.

It's probably too late but it would have been good to hear from some non-emigrant Vietnamese.
