How is the response "you're too focused on money" when trying to get a job to make money a reasonable one?

There really aren't. This is a myth of the highest order. There might be some, but certainly not many. If they have families or debt, that number basically goes down to zero. And for the record, £35k in London for a software engineer is a laugh-out-loud joke; a bus driver's starting salary is £25k.

There are no servers, it is peer to peer. The pubs are just easy to connect to to bootstrap new users into the social network and have been mostly closed off now that it has become more popular to avoid bad actors from abusing that easy way in.

You can bootstrap on a LAN / WAN without pubs.

Hangouts was so close. It had SMS, audio, video, text, desktop clients. It was about to be the android equivalent of imessage. And then they pulled SMS and started pulling other features and pushing duo/allo.

More importantly, why did I bother to finish grad school?
This type of behavior one would expect from a sketchy site so these early test results are somewhat surprising to be honest. I will be doing further testing in the next few weeks by throwing a few more honeypot accounts in different accounts created under different ip's. What I'm curious about is whether they do a bulk search for a keyword such as "SSH" across their database or do they target accounts from a certain geographic location and not touch others.

Another possible theory is that the site has a weakness and has been breached but they are just not aware of it. At this point it's a bit too early too tell though.

I encourage other people to test this on their end as well. It's actually very easy to do, spin up a vm image in the cloud, throw some test creds and see who falls for the bait. I keep a simple spreadsheet with unique usernames in one column and the service I stored those honeypot accounts in the next column. If one of those are accessed then I know for certain which services not to trust.
I personally went to college with someone who could not program at all when he graduated. He made a lot of friends and had a lot of help the entire way through.

I give it two years before Google tries something else.

Honestly, as soon as Google Voice (and its integration with the languishing Hangouts app) support breaks, which I fully expect to eventually happen, I'm jumping off the last of the Google boat. The inertia of "all my friends can at least contact me on this number that follows me around carrier-to-carrier" is the only reason I haven't stopped using Google services almost entirely:

My searches are DuckDuckGo. It's even more useful than Google for image searches because it still has a "View Image" link.

My primary email is now a private provider. The old Gmail account is kept to not miss old contacts reaching out and as a dumping ground for "sign up with your email so we can spam you forever!"

My online storage and backup is private, paid, and encrypted. There are still a few public links in my Google Drive, but I no longer use it day-to-day.

I can't remember the last time I actually needed live collaborative editing for work. I still use Google Docs/Spreadsheets occasionally, but I'm mostly collaborating with people elsewhere in the world and I wake up to see their edits/comments the next day. I'm not sure this bit even needs a replacement.

The last holdout is that sticky Google Voice number. I woke up one day a year and a half back and thought to myself, "you make real money now. You signed up for Google's free services all the way back in high school (when you had to have an invite for Gmail). You can afford paid services for these things, and the paid services are just as good. Why are you still giving Google more of your info than they would otherwise vacuum up?"

The fact that Google's "fix" for its own ADHD concerning chat/message platform(s) has no encryption is enough for me to say, "Nope. Done. Get me out of there once and for all."
This is not a widespread issue by any means. All the reputable online password managers that I have tested so far in the last several years haven't attempted to access any of the honeypot accounts. I'm a pentester by day so this is more of a side hobby I do in my off time.
Buying carbon offsets does not make your company "carbon neutral".

It means (1) we are estimating (by some secret formula) the carbon impact of our drivers and (2) we are paying money to some outside agencies that may or may not actually sequester some amount of carbon... but they do give us a nice, glossy certificate.

Carbon credits are being created out of thin air (literally) without even doing anything new toward sequestration. For example, Haliburton Forest in Ontario and the Headwaters Forest in California sell carbon credits for simply not cutting trees down, which is strictly banned in the first place (for Headwaters, at least).

There's no indication that Lyft is even computing carbon impact of vehicles actually used, even assuming optimal fuel consumption for the given make and model. Rideshare vehicles tend to be larger and heavier than vehicles used by actual taxi companies.

Purchasing indulgences is not the same as not sinning in the first place.

That is democracy. Fascism and communism were the worse sides that were moving in the wrong direction, and allowing those factions to gain a military advantage would have been morally indefensible. The UK and France abandoned their empires in the 20th century; the Soviets expanded theirs.

I think it's wonderful that liberal democracies have a rich culture of self-criticism when it comes to their flaws and imperfections. That's what makes it so important to preserve them.

The main problem with “AI revolution” today is that 95% of things that practitioners tell you it can do are just nowhere close to sufficient accuracy under the range of conditions they’d need to work in in the real world. Easily more than a half of them don’t even work at all outside a demo with hand picked examples. And nobody seems to care. This narrows down the scope of applicability to a tiny sliver where you can tolerate high error rates, and even there it’s a hard slog to get anything done, and AI is relegated to the role of the “cherry on top”, rather than baked into the pie.

There are a few areas where performance is good enough to be practically useful. One of those (facial recognition and tracking) is currently causing a “revolution” in China. I’m just not sure it’s the kind of revolution we want.

One big problem with the conclusion is that intuitions from low dimensional spaces often don’t carry over to high dimensional spaces. e.g. common example is how the volume of the unit hypersphere intersected with hypercube ratio goes to zero. One funny thing I saw once was something like “the real curse of dimensionality is how different optimization in high dimensional spaces is compared to low dimensional spaces”.
sure, but you can send imessages free over wifi. I doubt you can do the same with RCS. come to think of it, that's the only reason why carriers would even agree to implement this in the first place: they get to charge users for data that they would have otherwise transferred on wifi.
Ahhh I thought the partitioning was NOT inheritance based by default after reading the partition documentation page in the PG docs[0].

You mean something like XMPP? (On which Google's original chat service was based).
> Americans are generally pro-military, save for ultra left-leaning types.

That depends a lot on what "pro-military" means. Do most Americans wish success and well-being for our military service members? Yes. Do most Americans approve of how large our military has become, affecting both government budgets and culture, or of the foreign policy that puts so many of those service members in harm's way? I doubt it. It's not "ultra-left" to oppose militarism. You know what is ultra-left? Having a decent social safety net that enables veterans to integrate back into society, instead of abandoning them like the ultra-right does.

After all of these years, I'm surprised that Google hasn't just made their own clone of iMessage and called it a day.

iMessage (being an SMS / chat system with a native desktop client) is the only reason I went back to iOS. As much as I miss and android community, my top priority is avoiding the physical use of my phone whenever possible.

So while this is on the right track, its still not there. Leaving encryption off the table, at least to me, doesn't make a lick of sense.

Combining Google Voice and an iMessage-like service would have been closer to the game-changer they keep marketing their chat apps as... but it looks like we're still going to wait.

A BGR article [1] is assuming that they'll use a browser extension for the desktop client, which is good for cross-platform work, but the ones I've tried in the past (PushBullet, MightyText, etc) all fell short.

Long story short, its a shame to see someone as big and powerful as Google struggle with something as seemingly simple as a good SMS / RCS client to properly compete in the space.

I think the point is: they don't need to. There will be a RCS app on Android phones sold by these OEMs/Carriers. Most of these will be Google's app. So, many people will have an RCS app, even if it is not their primary app, you will be able to send them an RCS message without needing to do any convincing.

>On the other hand, I believe AT&T zero rates their RCS messages if you have an unlimited texting plan

But what if you don't have an unlimited texting plan? Let's say your current plan includes data + modest amounts of talk+text, but you do most of your communication over chat apps, so you never really touch your text allowance, even though you text a lot. now with RCS, you now have to pay extra $ for those texts you're sending out, or pay $ for the unlimited plan. plus with chat apps, you could send free over wifi. so from a customers point of view, RCS is worse in every way.
Seems like the article offers a pretty clear explanation for why they haven't:

> Though Google won’t say so, I think that road is fundamentally too dangerous for the company. One would think that Google has more than enough leverage to simply create something that the carriers would have to accept whether they like it or not. What are Verizon and Deutsche Telecom and all the rest going to do, switch to Tizen in protest? Please.

> But the truth is that these carriers have points of leverage over Google that go beyond choosing to sell Android phones. Android is, after all, open source. And though Google can (and does) dictate some requirements in order to include Google services, it can’t dictate them all. A carrier could set Bing as the default search, for example, or set up its own RCS client as the default texting app.

> Perhaps Google could have gotten away with a proprietary, baked-in messaging protocol back in 2011 when iMessage launched. But in 2018, carriers aren’t fond of iMessage, and they aren’t going to take kindly to a similar service acting as the default, especially on Android, the globally dominant operating system.

He mentions in the video that when he asked Google reps why they didn't just do iMessage, they claimed it was because of anti competition fears if they forced their own proprietary message platform on everyone's device, including those from partners like Samsung which already have their own messaging apps. That sounds plausible.
