But aren't those 3rd party react native for desktop implementations, just like Proton Native? Does Proton Native differ in some meaningful way that OP was referring to?

We're in a thread about a React Native for desktop implementation.. saying "React Native is React Native for Desktop" is confusing; hence my question.
Mesh networks are fine for peer to peer comms inside the mesh. But if you want Netflix you need an uplink.
Yeah, I don't think it's intended to be interactive. More like a really quick curated news update.
Is it encrypted?

That seems to suggest otherwise? Unless I don’t understand what network traffic within the mesh means.

Hence the stalled iphones sales growth. I don't disagree that having a phone that is supported by the manufacturer for so long is a good thing, I very much agree with this! But if the manufacturer loses incentive to do so, then don't expect them to continue doing it for long.
Not related to the content of the article, but I'm impressed that Bloomberg managed to add another layer of dark patterns to the auto playing scrolling video- there's a full video overlay that you have to click through to unmute the audio before you can actually stop the video from playing.
I'm sharing some harsh reality with them: The ISP market in NYC is highly competitive. If they want to be serious about it, it's not going to work as a nonprofit. I'm trying to tell them bluntly about what sort of infrastructure their competitors operate so that they can get an idea of the actual capital expenditure requirements involved in architecting/engineering a MAN-scale, five nines ISP composed of point to point wireless links.
For this, for Slack, for VS Code, for half a dozen other Electron apps because devs simply are not willing to take the time and effort to learn other languages.
> Actual, reliable internet costs real money, both in the salaries of people to engineer and architect it, salaries for 24x7x365 clued-in NOC staff, equipment, salaries and expenses for field technicians to build it.

A phone network that objectively sucked compared to AT&T and Verizon but was boatloads cheaper seems to have worked out just fine for T-Mobile. I can see the same thing working for this. $20/mo for an internet connection that works most of the time would have plenty of customers. I'm not familiar with the wireless tech involved so no clue how well this scales outside of high density cities but within some place like NYC there's plenty of people that would pay for this over $50+/mo (min!) to the local cable companies.
This is clearly for specific areas of the world. In Canada "gas furnace" is really the only option, and solar panels aren't terribly feasible.

That being said, I recently bought a home that checks a lot of those boxes (gas furnace, clawfoot tub, hardwood floor, central vac, mid-century) and it was on the market less than 24 hours with multiple offers, so clearly the items are valued. I just question the ability to add those percentages to it.
Those are all good points. I think the main thing to keep in mind is that even today, the vast majority of journalists are not working for a nationally prominent paper or on national TV. A lot of journalism is just local reporting, and those people can have their issues, but being corrupt or drunk on power isn't normally one of them.

One thing that's ironic is that Nassim Taleb doesn't appear to understand that the kind of reporters who seek out Nassim Taleb aren't representative of the entire profession.

I don't feel the developer used what they felt was best for this app. I feel they used what was best for them.
> If you are currently using an API key, please read the email we sent you on May 1st, which provides a high-level estimate of whether your future bill will change.

Did anyone actually get this mail? I am using a key and even got a receipt yesterday but did not get this mail about pricing changes (user from Germany).

Edit: Wow. I am currently using Places Radarsearch for a side project which currently has a (generous) free limit of 150.000 calls per day. If I read the pricing table correctly, I am now getting 5000 calls per month on the free tier (which also has to suffice for all other maps API calls). That's a 900-fold reduction..
I'm pretty sure the real secret is ensuring your customers have no alternatives. Spectrum may or may not have all of that gear and they still have given me outage and throttling issues for years. I don't want somebody to compete with the terrible ISPs out there today - they're fundamentally the wrong kind of organization. I'd rather have honestly crappy service than an opaque monopoly dictating my access.
Sure thing. And I offer free WiFi access to all my household members, houseguests, and next-door neighbors. The main thing holding me back is scaling up the number of installs too. I'm hoping a billion dollars of donations can square that away for me and my wider-area neighbor.

Thank you for posting this. I hadn't come across it and it's a great counterpoint.
After the leader of a substantial project disappears, in the ~20 minutes of incidental contact you have with the issue after having only just been introduced to it having not stumbled over a particular discussion out of sheer dumb fucking luck, you conclude that means the discussion never occurred. Do you really think that's a sound conclusion?

Let me put it this way, do you really think that, in the three months since this person disappeared, out of the dozens of people who have a far closer relationship to him than you do and a far greater personal stake in his wellbeing, that you are really the first person to consider whether something might have happened—to the point that you're comfortable to grandstand with a public indictment about how "sad" their behavior is?

You are the worst kind of person. Fuck you.

I manage 3 nodes in brooklyn and the speeds are ~150mbps. It's so reliable that no spot has a backup connection so it is acting just as that - an ISP. I don't see how the ambition is a discredit to techies (lol).
What's the throughput?
No, you can not just add solar panels to a house and make it worth 40% more. Literally every home would have solar panels on it if that were even remotely true. The truth is that you are unlikely to make your money back on most home improvement projects, especially if you hire a contractor.

Also there is an upper limit on how much you can increase the value of your home because you are limited by the value of your neighbor's homes and nearby comparable homes. If you spend more on improvements than that upper limit, you are almost guaranteed to lose money.

Also most first time home buyers lose money anyway because they fail to properly assess the value of a property, they negotiate poorly, and they get emotional about it.

Would be nice if they give us an int with a defined overflow. They won't do that because organizations would then ban the normal int.
Did not know about this, thanks for sharing. It almost increases the mystery in my mind. It appears this API is only available for use in Amazon Android apps, it's certainly marketed that way. It's as if they went 99% of the way of having a full map offering, but decided that Maps were somehow going to drive Kindle Fire adoption. Very interesting.
> Is there a precedent for this with other disorders? Seems to me that if there are no overlapping symptoms, it should be a separate disorder.

Yes, this is a pretty normal way of doing diagnoses.

Specifically, many disorders are diagnosed according to the template "the disorder is present if the patient presents any X out of this list of Y symptoms". As long as X is less than half of Y, it's possible for two patients to "have" the disorder without sharing any symptoms.

"Have" is in scare quotes because, obviously, this state of affairs is an artifact of the diagnostic criterion. However, it's also possible for e.g. two people to host infections of HIV without sharing any symptoms -- one may have AIDS while the other is asymptomatic.
How did the parent comment get down-voted 4 days after it was posted?
No. Pypy already does JIT.

Agreed. GDPR replaces the current Directive and the various member state laws implementing it. GDPR's requirements are (making up a number) 80% or 90% already required by current laws. It's just that the fines were small. GDPR allows fines of up to 4% of annual revenue for the corporate group. So that's why it's getting so much attention. Large multinationals can't afford to ignore such a fine. The reality is probably that the enforcement authorities would only be able to hand out so many mult-million dollar fines (and fight the ensuing battle) at a time. We'll see what enforcement really looks like over time and that'll indicate how serious this is all taken.
I don't see why not with I/O redirection, or named pipes. It probably wasn't done for simplicity.
That's because the devs are not the ones to face the resource problem.
No you don't need hundreds of thousands. You do need tens of thousands. We've had no downtime this year at supernode1. Yes reliability is a big priority, but it is not a big priority for the big ISPs in NYC. Time Warner Cable (now Spectrum) has barely two nines. In Manhattan it would go down in the East Village after every large storm. We are already providing faster more reliable connections than this.

Is Facebook Leaking Contact's Shadow Profile Information in Profile Archives?
I just downloaded my Facebook profile information as a zip file. In the "about_you folder" there's a file called "your_address_books.html" that looks to be based on an old copy of my phone's address book. The unusual thing is that this contains lots of alternate phone numbers and email addresses for people that I never entered for people who I was never FB friends with.

Has this leakage been written about before? It seems like this is a severe privacy issue at a minimum, since it could allow a stalker to discover current contact information if they have out of data info. It also seems like it may provide a window into Facebook's "shadow profiles".

So then you must intimately understand the depth of the lies and anti-consumer business practices that spur such networks.

5-9s is 5 minutes of downtime a year. I've never had a commercial, let alone residential ISP hit that mark.

> Actual, reliable internet costs real money, both in the salaries of people to engineer and architect it, salaries for 24x7x365 clued-in NOC staff, equipment, salaries and expenses for field technicians to build it. ...

Going back to my first point, almost no one is unwilling to pay for their internet connection.

They're unwilling to pay less to get TV service they have no use for and internet than they are internet alone.

They're unwilling to look at the cost of network access in other countries and be happy when comparing that to the cost of internet in a major, densely populated area in the US.

They're unwilling to accept transfer caps and accept the lies they they help the network by making people share when they know that transfer is irrelevant and bandwidth is the limited commodity.

They're unwilling to accept lies of bandwidth speed that isn't attainable even under the best of conditions.

They're unwilling to accept shady and underhanded business practices such as random, "accidental" charges.

> It just needs to be channeled the right way so that they can figure out what it actually costs to run a reliable ISP. I'm all in favor of new startup ISPs.

However, as an "actual ISP network engineer", you must understand the (very arguably unfair) regulatory issues that the big players have put in place to make this impossible to do. Google failed at starting an ISP, and it's not like they are tight on either cash or lawyers.
Same reason anyone goes to a shop these days: They want the item now.

People aren’t going to magically discover Amazon now if they process payments. Most retail shoppers are well aware they can buy the same items online for cheaper or at least the same price.

What retailers should really fear is a world where people no longer buy things impulsively or at the exact moment of need.

Exactly, I think the enlightenment in this case is being at peace with the idea that one cannot understand or fully manage everything in a technology stack.

I don't think Facebook wants to encourage too much critical thinking, as it's business is to sell an audience to advertisers. If the audience thinks too critically, it's harder to manipulate into doing what's in the interests of FB its advertisers.

> Why not simply de-advantage the news and concentrate on social aspects?

They've already done that.
