Of course you can (ab)use a lot of protocols in various ways, however, XMPP was designed with this extensibility in mind and that's exactly why its basic RFC is so minimal. Heck, even basic instant messaging over XMPP is defined in a separate RFC (RFC 6120 for Core and RFC 6121 for XMPP-IM).

GP already stressed it out:

> Matrix's main data primitive is synchronising conversation history within a room - not message passing.

So Matrix might be well suited for things like blogs, but XMPP will be certainly better for push notifications, for instance. However, you can easily build Matrix-like primitives on top of XMPP, while the other way around will be less flexible.
I dont say this lightly.

One feature you might want to consider is adding support for RemoteStorage [0] to allow people to export a story to a data provider of their choice, so that they can easily access it later if they care to (and perhaps start re-hosting it?) :)

The Amish are another group whose name is synonymous with rejecting all technology, but whose story is much more nuanced. They carefully consider each technology and try it out on selected individuals to see what effect it has on them, their family, and their community. They're not afraid to reject a technology or to set limits on its use; they're also not afraid to adopt a technology if it's useful to them.

Howard Rheingold's 1999 article (https://www.wired.com/1999/01/amish/) is a classic. Kevin Kelly has also written a lot about the Amish and their relation to technology.
Just your assumption, unfortunately.

Ask HN: What about a paid torrent search engine?
A year ago, skytorrents (skytorrents.in) was launched with the promise of being ad-free. They started paying server bills from their pockets but due to its massive accumulated popularity, they turned towards donations.

Well, that also did not help much and they have shut down their website. My question is instead of donations, why not a subscription model? I would be happy to pay a dollar per month for that service. I know that this is not an out of the box idea and I am just curious about problems of this.

That's not. Plenty of fruits & vegetables can be put up for quite a long time. Root vegetables can be stored for many months (almost a year) by digging them up and piling in 'silos,' which alternate layers of soil or sand & vegetables. Apples can be stored in barrels. Cabbages can be covered in leaves, or fermented. Beans & peas can be dried. Almonds can be used to make milk (in fact, in the middle ages almond milk was more common than cows' milk).

Christians have been fasting on Wednesdays & Fridays, Lent & Advent for millennia, well before refrigeration and modern foodstuffs.

It would possibly work with XLSX or PPTX or any of the newer Office file formats that rely on zipping a folder of XML files. Open Document Format files like those from Libre Office might be capable of this too.

XLS, PPT, DOC or other old style Office files don't follow this format so this specific approach wouldn't work on those.

I were using SAM for month or two and then switched back to CloudFormation, because I felt limited (not all features of API Gateway were implemented, duplicated stages, problems with instrict functions). However, I watch their GitHub repository for changes and I noticed many missing features are implemented on AWS re:invent basis (duration between next conference). The worth-noting feature of SAM is definetely aws-sam-cli (former: aws-sam-local) [1], which is a tool for developers to parse SAM template and invoke Lambda function in the docker on local machine. It was great to test simple APIs (start-api mode), but when some API started using custom authorizers or response was a compressed payload of png image it was not very helpful. Personally, I am working on a fork of aws-sam-cli to implement it to work with CloudFormation.

This is the problem with all religion: the people who adhere to these views think that your views are perversions of Christianity (or Islam or whatever) and there is no way to resolve such disputes except to see who can shout the loudest, or who can obtain the most political power so that they can use the power of the state to suppress dissent. Ironically, Christianity itself is the product of this dynamic.
Cold reading performed as a con is infinitely more effective if the cold reader actually has done homework or is able to somehow influence events. Con men do in fact do this-- a good con does a lot of homework before approaching a "mark" and may try to orchestrate events as well using shills. I've heard this called "hot reading" as opposed to cold reading.

If Q actually were a pro-Trump psyop (not out of the question given how Internet-savvy his campaign was) then Q may actually have some inside information, resulting in some very effective cold reading. This could also be the case if Q is someone else's psyop (Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Israel, organized crime, etc.) and has a line into its employer's intelligence apparatus.

I realize this may also verge on conspiracy theory, but looking around the world at nations as diverse as Russia, China, and Turkey, and now at the USA I feel we are in the final stages of what amounts to a global elite deviant takeover. The world will soon be a mafia state of sorts ruled over by a superclass of amoral gangsters who use state of the art surveillance technology and psychological warfare techniques to manage the population. It will be a "velvet glove, iron fist" system like Singapore where the need to actually "disappear" people is significantly mitigated by the clever deployment of psyops to head off any substantial resistance before it's an issue.

William Gibson was a prophet. It never ceases to amaze me how perfectly he nailed the zeitgeist of the 21st century. This is the criminal age.

I also can't help but factor in the rapid development of the space industry. History does tend to rhyme. During the last "age of discovery" a major motive for people leaving Europe was to escape an extremely corrupt and decadent oligarchy. Maybe people will flee to Mars to escape the modern version of bawdy oligarchs in powdered wigs and merkins.

Who knows... maybe corruption and social meltdown is some kind of built-in developmental phase in our species that works to drive us outward in another burst of colonization. If I were an alien watching I'd be scared to death and debating the wisdom of just hitting Earth with a kinetic weapon before it's too late.
"SAVE THE MANTLE"
IME the AWS GUI is not useful for all that much in a meaningful context. Thus this post is pretty misleading to a new person getting involved in cloud; it doesn’t qualify as “full” in my mind.

As a number of other comments have pointed out, there are packages that help with managing your infrastructure in code; which is critical outside of anything other than a play environment. Terraform, serverless, cloudformation, SAM, zappa, etc - are all essentially requirements for cloud usage.

At Amazon they’ve tooling which makes it relatively easy to set up an AWS account to develop against; the tool primarily configures the billing to the correct team within amazon. Additionally your manager gets “rights” to the account, IAM accounts can be linked to AD, etc, etc. This is all part of a push to get Amazon employees building infra on AWS proper. When you create the environment you have to denote whether it’s dev, or whether it’s production; in the former case it’s widely accepted that you use the GUI to set up your trial. However in the latter case you’re strongly encouraged to use something like cloudformation. It was always a shock to me that for prod accounts they don’t disable the GUI for anything other than viewing.

If they were important, then there would be economic value to them.

(And to some extent this is in fact the case: even once the de Havilland Comet's metal-fatigue issues were compensated-for and recalls completed, nobody wanted to fly on it, so it became a commercial flop, and now the air-transport leader is Boeing not de Havilland.)
Although it's true there are lingering effects from the repeal of prohibition, I don't believe the Supreme Court's ruling on the constitutionality of the national drinking age law drew on that. Rather, I think it was just the difference between directly dictating state law and making funds conditional on it.

BuzzFeed created the Viral Hippo account and black square post.
WWII was basically an extension of WWI. WWI was remarkable in that it was the first really mechanized war, and for the time, a really huge war unlike wars before it, which is why it was called "the Great War" before WWII happened. It was a real turning point for western society.

I think you can see a big parallel in LOTR here, with the Elves/Hobbits/etc. basically being pre-industrial peoples, while the "evil" forces were industrial societies: they felled trees, burned forests, causing widespread destruction to build their society.

BMW: Pull up and park, press stop button. Get out, lock door, and walk away. Easy. The car puts itself into park, etc. The only problem is when I get into other cars that don't do this.

I honestly don't like the all-electronic shifters. I feel like the car could end up in state in which shifter inputs get ignored and then I would be unable to shift into neutral or otherwise stop the transfer of power to the wheels. I also happen to think that intelligence agencies know how to assassinate people by taking over their cars and causing runaway conditions that the driver is unable to negate.

A mechanical kill switch like on a motorcylce would be a great feature, as long as non-assisted brakes and steering would still function.

I know that modern aircraft separate all these linkages electronically now, but I also know that modern aircraft have triple redundancy and that cars don't.

Okay, you first.
The behavior with "m" is quite strange. In theory, it should produce a memory operand pointing directly to where the function argument was passed on the stack, rather than copying it to registers and then back onto the stack. I can reproduce this with Rust nightly:

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=release

However, Clang appears to do the right thing with equivalent C code:

https://godbolt.org/g/B1sjfS

This is strange because Rust and Clang both use LLVM for their backend.

Looking at the LLVM IR produced, Rust's IR straightforwardly corresponds to the source code: a load instruction (to evaluate `self_t[0]`) whose result is passed to an asm instruction:

%0 = getelementptr inbounds %U256, %U256* %self, i64 0, i32 0, i64 0
%1 = load i64, i64* %0, align 8
tail call void asm sideeffect "mulq $0", "m,~{dirflag},~{fpsr},~{flags}"(i64 %1) #1, !srcloc !0

But Clang's omits the load, and transforms the "m" constraint to "* m" (without the space, bah HN formatting):

%2 = getelementptr inbounds %struct.U256, %struct.U256* %0, i64 0, i32 0, i64 0, !dbg !24
call void asm sideeffect "mulq $0", "*m,~{dirflag},~{fpsr},~{flags}"(i64* nonnull %2) #2, !dbg !26, !srcloc !27

Hmm… seems to be related to this Rust bug: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/16383

> a) not to use HTML emails, which seems unlikely in practice

I've always used plaintext when using PGP, same with others who have used it with me... I thought it was standard practice. I don't see the point in using HTML for one-on-one encrypted conversations. HTML is for newsletters and similar content. Although I assume this means "don't use HTML at all in your client, not just for encrypted email".
I think that was the point - it's not $12k just for having a RPi running.

Your raytraced shadow maps have a bit of a "glossy" feel, it suggests that you don't use linear colorspace for rendering these. I think colormagick also needs additional options to handle multiplication in linear colorspace. I didn't look into any of your code, so I'm sorry if I'm wrong about this.
So, in 5 years it'll be a $1000 piece of hobbyist equipment like a Parrot drone and in 10 years a smaller version will be available for $100 for kids?

I highly doubt that most people who rob cars, burglarise people or commit fraud are simply mentally ill people who need someone to talk to. Some people only respond to punishment. And in the case of those people I think that a short and painful punishment (whipping) is better than a long and life altering punishment (jail).

I haven't checked up on the project in a while, but http://www.clifford.at/yosys/ has an interesting open source toolset. It's been a while since I've done much with FPGAs as they're not that friendly to hobbyists compared to analog circuitry and microcontroller based digital circuitry, though they're still interesting to handle.

My general recommendation is to try to get to the point that you can sell one circuit board (populated or unpopulated) as (depending upon your skill level) it may highlight areas that you can learn more as well as providing a portfolio piece.
If it doesn’t, the results from that computation are scientifically worthless. Reproducibility means more than just getting the same results from the same code with the same compiler (although that’s clearly a desirable prerequisite)
I usually consider gambling a form of entertainment. By that note, it's no more impoverishing than anything else people blow their money on for their own amusement. Some people have a gambling problem and spend more than they can afford because they expect they'll win eventually, but unwise spending is hardly unique to gambling.
I agree with you and in a pure profit oriented you will always have rare diseases without remedies. You may even have curable patient that are non-economical to save for for-profit health-care company.

Imagine you have only pure market that provides 80% total availability for disease remedies. If you want to cover the 20% uncovered case by bringing a non-profit player, you may threaten some of the pure market player. At the end you may have a 60% coverage by for-profit and 40% by non-profit.

The end solution may seems to be less economically efficient but it covers more of the population and I think it is a good thing.

Hm, even when there are 10 different server implementations (or the ~50 client implementations there are today), we’d hope they would align to the same spec - just as with HTTP, SMTP, TCP/IP etc. There’s room for experimentation without introducing fragmentation, and any useful experiments would hopefully rapidly get merged into the spec. And if they don’t then yes, you risk a fork on that particular feature (the equivalent of only Exchange supporting email recalls, or browser vendor extensions), but it’s not the end of the world.
