Why is fully decentralized option like WebRTC not considered ?, there is no real need for message apps to be centralized especially on mobile.

Loss of message queuing can be mitigated easily when both end points are more or less always running and messages sent only when both parties are on online.

TURN relays could still be a problem and potential censorship blocks. However the protocol is standard it is not very difficult to setup one even behind NAT. You could even bundle lightweight version with app and make all the clients relays too making it very hard to crackdown on

Rochester's subway was more like light rail from what I understand (i.e., what they have in Buffalo now). A large portion of it was a re-purposed aqueduct from the Erie Canal, so it wasn't quite the most ambitious subway system. If it had stuck around longer past the 40s though I imagine it could have evolved into quite a formidable system.
That's effectively what EBS is, no?
What's more, the subway is apparently one of the safest possible places to be if a big quake strikes.

Ask HN: How do I help peers collaborate with me?
I'm a student about to start a graduate capstone project. I have a client who has a proposal for a project that would fit the requirements of my graduate capstone. I'm interested in getting help from my colleagues in my program with the project.

The challenge comes from my reputation in the program. I'm a bit of a loud-mouth smart-alec who is very opinionated and has an answer to everything. On the other hand, I recognize that my peers have a lot of diverse experience, knowledge, and insight that I'm interested to learn from. They could also provide good direction for the project in ways I am too biased to recognize.

What are some ways I can a) encourage my peers to openly share suggestions, criticisms, and questions; and b) shift ownership of the project from me to the team as a whole?
> The homeowners aren’t selfish, they are motivated. Why would they act against something that would clearly devalue them?

That isn't actually what happens -- and the misunderstanding is what causes so much of the conflict.

If you rezone for high density, the price per square foot goes down, but the price per acre goes way up -- because suddenly developers will pay you a mint for your land so they can knock down your house and build a high rise there.

The people who theoretically lose out are the people who own property way out in the suburbs, because most people won't want to live there and spend two hours in traffic every day once they can afford to live in the city. But even they don't really lose out because now they can afford to live in the city and the value of not having to sit in traffic every day is worth more than what they're losing on their house.

The whole thing is just a huge misunderstanding. A cynic might suggest the narrative was devised by the banks to drive up mortgage loan principal amounts. Or the car companies to keep people from living in places with viable mass transit.

I enjoyed your comment despite it being light gray. I never considered Google to be particularly rich in "opinions". Some buy into the culture more than others, but the workers are mostly left-wing. I also think a better term than opinion here is "radical ideology", which is more accurate and less vague. But yes, I found the comparison to communism to be quite apt,though it applies to much of SV. People are afraid of saying something they shouldn't. Even though the consequences may not be as severe as in the USSR, you can still lose your career for something like saying you agree with Trump on anything.
That might be the case but given their biases it's hard to take the WSJ's spin at face value.

They're agenda is to hurt google and with this one I'm guessing they want to further damage google's image with conservative culture warriors.

As for the issue at hand, even if it might not be as drastic as described it's definitely affecting business most evident by some rank and file employees' public objection to their DoD AI work.

Fixing matters will involve more than intranet discussion moderation, it's about hiring. Perhaps they should optimize for a different kind of prospect.
I've always wondered why those cabinets are so big. Traffic light controls seem like the kind of thing that could be reduced to a much smaller package given greater computing power combined with smaller and more efficient hardware. What does all the hardware inside actually do?
Couldn't Signal use popular domains to host IP addresses as a rudimentary DNS server of sorts? For example, host a text file containing Signal server IPs on Google App engine (using the app.google.com address), Azure Blob Storage (using blob.azure.com endpoint), GitHub (raw.githubusercontent.com), S3 (s3.amazonaws.com), etc. There are hundreds of possibilities on some really popular hosting services. Then, when the app starts, it queries in them in series, gets a list of IPs used by Signal, and tries them directly. Signal can then push new IPs (preferably ones in the AWS address space) to the list as often as needed to avoid blocking. Need a new IP? Just grab another from AWS elastic IP service, update the text file, etc.
So now all the data they have about me browsing the internet can be used to find a woman who has a complimentary meta data set? Hopefully she's pretty too.
On the other hand, even a little bit off attention of the professors or assistants would expose every last cheater. Cheaters don't even read the assignments they hand in (I've seen people expelled for handing in a paper where the name of the author on the 2nd page onward was different, seen different people hand in the same paper, ...)

A few questions would trivially expose them.

Clearly universities simply don't check. And frankly, we all know that this isn't an individual oversight, but a policy.

He went out of his way to create discs that would fool customers. He went out of his way to evade customs inspections, because he knew customs would seize the discs. He sold some of the discs for $3, some for $4, and some for $30-$40. He spent $80,000 creating the discs, and you don't do that for something that has no value.

I don't think he should be in prison for this, but it's clearly criminal behaviour.
Meh. What you're saying is sort of true although I wouldn't put my tinfoil hat on about LaGuardia. The 2nd Avenue subway was shut down because it wasn't actually a subway, it was an El. El's make a lot of noisy ruckus that people in the surrounding area weren't keen on and trains can't run as fast on their tracks. When the El was torn down it was assumed that a new subway tunnel would be built where it used to be in short order (it's kind of a bit difficult to bore holes under a street that's supporting an elevated structure so it was supposed to be done in phases). Unfortunately due to bureaucratic snafus, lack of funding, and general apathy, the 2nd Avenue Line has only recently sort of come to fruition (but not really).
The background check process is involved (taking ~3-24 months), and since clearance is condition of employment, employees are sometimes let go if they fail to obtain a clearance. For anyone interested, clearedjobs[1] has a good faq about how clearances are obtained and adjudicated. Before applying, it's worth asking yourself if you want to go through the process and possibly risk having to leave the job if you fail to obtain a clearance.

As far as compensation goes, government pay will always be a little lower. Our new grad pay is notoriously low (GS 5-9), but we'll pay for your background check and a Masters/PHD if you're interested. For engineers with ~5-10 years experience GS-13 pay ($95k-$120k) is pretty competitive when you consider the cost of living in Sacramento (A nice 4bed/2bath house, in a great neighborhood is ~$400k). Additionally, we have management and technical promotions tracks within the organization of which both go up to GS-15 (non-management GS-15 jobs are pretty rare within the federal government).

My point is that google will ban your website off the internet in whatever way possible for them, if they don't agree with what you're saying. They have demonstrated this as I linked. Just because their role is now TLD owner, doesn't mean they will not do what they think is necessary.
And then the censors can very conveniently block all those IPs too, can't they?
Why did he spend tens of thousands of dollars creating discs that had no value?

The courts found that MS sell these discs for $25. They mulitplied that by the number of discs he sold. They did it that way, rather than using the price he sold them at, because he had done such a good job of forging them and the law then uses the value or the infringed, not infringing, item.

(I don't think he should be in prison for this).
It easily could be. There are all sorts of things we criminalize because they correlate with other illegal or harmful things. Conspiracy to commit is an obvious one. Or receiving stolen goods: it's not illegal to buy and sell things, but if you know that you're enabling thieves, you could go to jail too.

As I often see here, you're missing the spirit of the post. (S)He's not saying that having less or being poor is intrinsically a happier existence. They are referring to a freedom from consumerism and the "need" to have things or chase the newest fad.

I struggle too, with resisting consumerist urges; which have been ingrained in me since birth. But really, they are right. Does purchasing Tom Ford apparel make you happy? It's fine if it does, but what happens if you don't? Nothing at all, actually.

We don't need all the things we're so constantly sold, and recognizing that lifts a weight (or anxiety, if you wanna call it that) from the shoulders. There's freedom in not needing things.

Go outside. It's free and fun.
This is either banal and irrelevant or meaningful and wrong. Obviously, not everybody has the same morality; criminals almost always think they're justified. But if you're saying that because of that morality is somehow meaningless or not worth pursuing, that's ridiculous. Nobody ever says that when they're on the receiving end of something shitty, just when they're doing it.
It just implies that it's a good news story, where Google helped Apple make their software better and safer for everyone.
I would suggest that the antipenultimate sentence represents a partial ontological quandary. But if you peruse the former, and not the latter, you should be sifficiently convinced of any such probable suppositions.
The concern I have is that your dating profile will be hidden from people on your friends list. It's a bit unsettling that someone can start a dating profile hidden from an SO. And equally unsettling if FB blocked people who list a relationship status if they are polyamorus.

Nope. Not officially, one reason why I am against iPhone dropping lighting for USB-C. That was few years ago when no one see or believe this mess is coming.
Hardly unethical. If academia could produce a search engine of equal quality but without ads, people would use it.

You may not like the ads, but they pay for the product. Which let's face it, is really quite good. There is probably no other software product I've been as loyal to for as long. Even linux, which is amazing, I haven't used for as long. I started out on Windows. I almost always find what I'm looking for on the first page of Google results, if it's to be found at all. That's remarkable when you think of how much information is out there.
Growing up in the western half of the US, I virtually never heard about Lyme growing up. (To be clear, I don't think it's a conspiracy, it's just not nearly as common in the west) Then some of my family moved east and it seemed like everyone there has dealt with Lyme.

Its wasn't exactly compulsory; but if you wanted to advance in the company you pretty much had to attend. Even this statement might be over stating it, as we here much more from the employees who feel like they have to attend (and might then complain about it), then the ones who don't and would have no reason to ever bring it up.
> If you want full function? Just don't pass/use anything that's mut.

Not quite. There are still mutable globals (they just have to have to have the appropriate "I'm MT-safe" marker traits); and there's nothing preventing any function from performing any I/O that it desires. Even better, once specialization lands, generic trait-functions will be able to behave differently when called on different types, even if the special behavior isn't valid given only the public type-signature's assumptions.
The fact that Google and employees at Google believe this is scary to me.

Anyway, it's not clear that anyone is making any attempt to "claw back" this sense of entitlement. It's always been this way and there isn't any evidence I'm aware of it's doing damage to the bottom line, so why would they try to control it.

> Donations by its employees to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign outnumbered contributions to President Trump’s campaign 62 to 1

Trump isn't the most popular presidential candidate in recent history, but there does seem to be a left-wing bias at Google. Being left wing is clearly different from doing "good things for the world even if we forgo short-term gains".

Neither wing of politics has a particular claim to being more moral; and both left and right wing philosophies have seen great success stories and great tragedies when they are in the ascendant.

If the politics of Google is that biased from the mainstream (which, I remind you, is about a 50-50 split, not plausibly as extreme as 80-20) then there is a risk that their data and power will be used for political ends. The half of America that votes republican should not be sleeping easily on this one.
Very few people think they are doing evil, most people think they are doing good. Humans first and foremost justify their actions.

Google's overriding value is money. That's what they care about. If it wasn't that way they would operate differently. What it appears like is Google operates in a way that prioritizes money and then later justifies it with this notion of "doing good", but that's vague enough to literally mean anything.

You think I'm exaggerating, but look at any number of organizations that have done things which nobody considers good and then look at how their members justify it. It always happens. How easy it to justify making 300k a year while pumping out walled garden mediocrity? It's really easy.

Chiming in feels like sour grapes, but this notion that a massive corporation gives a fuck about anything but it's own existence doesn't seem realistic.
Sorry I meant lawyer and accountant.
Nothing is, but why would you do it if you weren't getting paid for it (because all your customers have been thrown out of school)?
Tell HN: Somebody should make a rock and mineral identification app
Imagine this: You're out camping or hiking, and you see a particular stone or rock that captures your fancy. You take a picture of it on your smartphone. Now, it identifies what kind of rock or mineral you're looking at, and takes you to the Wikipedia page for that rock or mineral.

How could you make this app? Well, first you would make a database of all known mineral compounds, then you'd download all images that Google said were related to it. Once you've got all of that mess, feed it to a machine learning algorithm. Use the results of that to identify newly photographed images.

It probably won't be that good at first (maybe it would give a statistical percentage for a match, like there's a 66% chance this is Calcite, etc.), but with more time, it might get better...

Why do I want something like this? Well, it would have applications ranging from mere appreciation of stones and mineral compounds to maybe something could help you if you were trapped on a desert isle, to future space travel and planetary exploration... does anyone agree?
That's an interesting train of thoughts, in the same way, we criticise countries for not being democratic enough, whereas now we have corporations more powerful than most countries but with zero democracy inside them, the top has all the power
