I think as more and more people find that they need or want to take back control over gheir time, more people will follow her in this direction.

Main question will be whether small screen flip phones will be made with modern modems to connect to modern infra wich may not support older Gen wireless nets for too long.

An old flip phone would work if it supported mainstream authenticators.
The best startups and investment out here tend to be second-tier compared to the Bay Area. It's improving but still small and far from SF-level success. That said, second tier is great compared to everywhere outside of the Bay Area and NYC.

I'd recommend not moving to Central Texas, by the way. Water availability is going to be a huge issue as the population continues to increase. Cities aren't feeling it yet but the small towns on the fringes definitely are - and the issue will continue to spread.
Sorry dude, I am what I am. The Trump era has really turned me off to extremism. So I judge policies by their results.

San Francisco's "progressivism" has really turned me off because there is just so much failure of policy here. And while we should be talking about anything other than tech cafeterias, we are talking about cafeterias.
Any sources for any part will do.

Although, the whole "They have people who's sole job is to make sure Facebook users are on the platform for as long as humanly possible" part makes me the most skeptical.
There are clients that support automatic inlining of linked media. see irc-cloud which even does the hosting for you.
> You do not need to read your entire slack channel history.

Nope. But you sure as hell search it.... comes in handy to see if something has been discussed before.
We solve this with Slack where I work by just making one-off channels that are for specific topics.

These are usually project-focused channels where we only talk about the project that we're currently working on. The channels can last anywhere from a few days to a few months, and once the project is done we close the channel.

We find this works really well to keep noise to a minimum since we still have team-specific channels where the usual noise happens, but if we're just trying to do work we only focus on the project channel.
Well, it's not like it's a technological marvel or anything (I mean, the amount of ram it uses is kinda insane), and chat apps are like the "hello world" of network programming, BUT! From what I've seen the social effects of it are huge. There's just a lot of nice subtleties that they nailed, and it's so invisible that there just doesn't feel like there's a need to find an alternative. It just kinda works and you don't have to think about it.

What planet are you living on where you can say with a straight face that IRC is a senior-friendly thing to use?

Do people who advocate for IRC even understand what made Slack successful? Seriously. Stay relevant or you are gonna get left in the dust when the world moves on.

The fluorescent systems in there are likely older and less efficient, so at the lower end of the range. For this kind of industrial setup you can probably do more efficient DC directly to the lights with fewer and more efficient conversions from AC, and there may be other improvements available (solar tubes, dimmable LEDs, task lighting, etc.). 7x seems high but likely achievable.

Maybe its time for companies to consider building cities that just serve their needs and that are connected to existing cities by high speed rail. Build the housing too.

You can't really do that in the coastal areas but maybe inland or in states like Arizona or New Mexico. Put it all under a solar dome so you can control the heat. Okay, maybe that's too much :-)
Reputations are good until they're not. People are fallible and there plenty of examples of politicians who have a public image and a backroom one.

I don't know Peskin and there are many honest hard working politicians, but safeguards like disclosing conflicts of interest aren't terribly burdensome for good politicians but can help generate legal consequences for the bad ones.
If there is a flip phone that has good audible support, I'd be tempted. If it also had decent strava support, I think I'd be hard pressed not to use it.
> the tech community is notoriously insular in the Bay Area in ways it is not in other tech hubs like LA, Boston, NYC, or Austin

That might be because

1. Not as many people move there right out of college to work in the tech industry. This is true in the Bay Area, which means you'll find most of your friends at work

2. The tech industry population just isn't as large in those places (bar maybe NYC). You kind of have to consider a wider friend pool.

Having said that, I'd love to make friends in the Bay Area outside tech - I just don't know how. I'm not sure many people make new friends at restaurants or coffee shops though, so I don't see how this new legislation makes tech workers "engage" with the community or whatever. The only engagement happening is between the tech worker's wallet and the restaurant's till.
Have you considered that just might be your own psychological burden though? I mean, plenty of people I know respond to slack messages a few hours after the fact, and I myself don't feel super guilty for turning it off for a few hours, and nobody seems to care.
Life with a smart phone is so much better than life before a smart phone. It's hard to realise how recently they came around. I've probably only had the internet on my phone for five years (I've had a smart phone for longer, but I couldn't get the data to work and data was expensive enough at the time I didn't care).

I can communicate with my fiancee even when she's in another country (international sms = fail). I can have a fiancee who's in another country. When I'm on the train I can do something meaningful to me. When I'm not on the train, I can know when it's actually going to arrive so I can do something fun instead of waiting on the platform. If I'm having a discussion with friends I can call up the information I'm missing. I can listen to music and podcasts while I go for a walk or a ride. I can plan my trips instead of listening to the boring parts of conversations. I can take nice photos when I didn't expect it.

I'm not going back to life without a phone. If you're not valuing your priorities with a phone, you won't value them without it. It might make a difference for a few weeks, but then you'll work out how to waste your time without your phone and you'll be back to square one.
This looks cool. I think it could resolve some of the noise at the company I work for. For example, a lot of #javascript-specific chat happens in the #developers channel, but we have a #javascript channel. This is actually really annoying. I think people would more easily recognize they should put the message into #javascript if they could clearly see the dev -> javascript stream structure. Hopefully anyway. There's no way our company would migrate to Zulip though.

> Zulip has modern apps for every major platform, powered by Electron and React Native.

I'm not sure the underlying technologies matter to most users. This might not be good marketing, but I don't know. I know someone could have chosen to use this language with reason but figured I'd put it out there just in case.
>Facebook messages and private content usually aren't.

Sure, that's not the same as public access, but it's equally blown out of proportion.

Users must be empowered to delegate access to the software of their choosing. Facebook offering read_mailbox as an option on its OAuth consent screen is exactly as evil as Fastmail offering IMAP.
True, I remember my card at Entropay being registered under Malta, Europe. But fortunately, online services accepted it.
In 2007 flash could run 3d games, do shaders, have multiplayer, run physics manipulation, have 3d sound, do bitmap manipulation, socket programming, and had documentation built into the editor.

Even now html/J's can't do all of the things and most of the things that you can do, are not as fast. While browsers are stuck with legacies to uphold. Flash had no dom to worry about, untyped language (as3) or had css holding it back.

General argument was flash sucks because people make terrible content with it. Which is like saying I hate having hands because I trip things over.. so no limbs = no mess PERFECT.

In turn I think it helped push native apps. Since plain Js/html app just sucked in comparison when it comes to experience and capabilities.

Flash should have been open sourced. Hopefully with webgl and web assembly someone can step in and create something similar

Part of my life involves building $100k+ interactive/experiential advertising installations.

Sparkfun has been pretty vital for a lot of our builds. The ability to know what we're getting, and to have it shipped overnight is a Big Deal.

For a while it was looking like Amazon might replace them on shipping, but shipping has become hit and miss enough that it isn't worth the risk anymore.
cuDNN certainly does, if you use the CUDNN_CONVOLUTION_BWD_DATA_ALGO_WINOGRAD option (and you can ask it to automatically pick the best approach if you like).

Always remember. Half of the world has an IQ under 100. Not everything that appeals to a software engineer will appeal to the masses. I have friends who think reading something like this means they "did the research".

It's pathetic, but it's the modern age where all knowledge is accessable but very few know how to get it. Most people think they're smart and are wrong. So accessible sciencey-feeling things are popular.
I don't understand why you're being downvoted as this is an excellent comment.

This article read like an advertisement. There's nothing wrong with advertising, but this isn't even a particularly good ad.

I'd be more likely to try whatever the heck this service is called if they talked about what they do, and focused less on calling out Slack.

The problem with ads that shoot down your competitors is that your readers are busy thinking up counterpoints when they should be learning your points.
Love discord..but their email notifications are a problem. There are no fine grained controls and once unsubscribed, you can never re-subscribe.

I don't see why you can't just control your cell phone habits. Swearing technology off is like cutting off the nose to spite the face.

The optimal setup for me is the basic apps installed (mail, messenger, uber/lyft, finances) with all notifications turned off. Less distraction while retaining the utility of having a smartphone.

I've recently reconnected with some friends, by way of a slack channel. The channel is exclusively meant for idle chat, and even there, if I ignore it for a day, I come back to 200+ unread messages, including actually mildly important stuff that I missed lost in the noise (friend being in an accident). I can totally see how Zulip's approach can fix this...

Regarding electron/react native - no worse than Slack, I guess (as far as resource usage, etc goes).
> all I see is rent-seeking mega corps bent on scaling their surveillance platforms

Those always were around. In the days of yore there was IBM using FUD everywhere and trying to monopolize the PC through proprietary technologies, AT&T trying to shut down Unix as free software, Microsoft's monopolistic practices, etc. But at the same time a lot of people worked on free software and much more to make the world a better place, and they succeeded.

What the histories leave out, what they can't convey, is the uncertainty of being one person or a small team taking on megacorp, of the experience of trying help a world where most people don't understand the problem and many who do understand still don't care. History can't convey not knowing if the story will end in a wasted career and never even being noticed, much less forgotten, or in being Linus or RMS or Graydon Hoare. That's all just normal in any project of social change. In another domain, IIRC, MLK's popularity was underwater even after the Voting Rights Act passed; can you imagine what he faced when he started - a small group, a politically oppressed minority (thus limiting their ability to get anything done), a barely educated constituency (due to the discrimination), taking on a much larger majority and centuries of Southern (and Northern) tradition.

That is the most succinct way of expressing this that I've ever seen. Thanks! It also explains the problem in terms of the same forces that also drive markets, which sounds very plausible (due to simplicity).

Have they patched the Web application to work with dark themes properly? I tried using it but every textbox imports the background color from the desktop theme (good) but it uses the page assigned text color, which is nearly always black, so you end up with every textbox having black text on a black background, making it unusable.

Firefox has this behavior now too.
It's the same with photographs. We take more photos than ever before, but we lose more photos than ever before.

iCloud is not archival or long term storage, people lose access, or accidentally delete photos or whatever. Meanwhile, all my childhood photos are safely stored as negatives. Of course, my parents' house could burn down and all my childhood photos could be lost, but that's unlikely.

That's one reason that I've been enjoying film photography. I know that my negatives will easily last 50+ years if stored with some care.

We really need a solution for long term file storage for the average person. I plan on putting my digital photos onto archival DVDs at some point and storing them with my negatives. But even archival DVDs have problems, namely that it assumes we'll have DVD readers in 50 years. Meanwhile, we'll still be able to scan photographic negatives in 50 years, and to circle back to books, we'll be able to read books in 50 years.

'physical world around me has expanded'

care to elaborate?
Sorry, but most of that is simply not true.

I worked for a large news company that moved from virtually nothing to slack. There is now something like 800 channels.

Each channel has a purpose that is distinct from each other (for example system-outage-44, or graphics-team, or aws-help)

Each team normally has a public and private channel, one to provide support, the other brisk frank discourse. Seniors are expected to contribute(in fact the members of the board are on there), and its the only way that remote workers can get real time collaberation. In fact it allowed people to work at home and feel included.

So to say its a waste of time sounds like either a marketing ploy, or an organisational problem.
In rent controlled units you're basically able to stay as long as you pay the rent. Attempts to get people out of those units are frequently underhanded and regularly cross into criminal or civilly actionable, but the people targeted are often poor and don't have the resources to fight back.

This is why the list was great you got to read a bunch of reviews that didn't just talk about one book but compared them. With people making lots of comments about what they got out of each textbook.
Without the proprietary server backend, you cannot use the clients. It's a walled garden. If keybase goes away for whatever reason, you're stuck.

If you build an office in the middle of a city, sometimes you need to be part of the city... The employees can always bring a lunch to work if they don't want to spend money going out to restaurants. Yes, it would suck if you expected free food and got stuck at this FB office. But, it would also suck if Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale became full of offices and private cafeterias and lost all essence of a "downtown". I mean Palo Alto is already full of Palantir buildings.
I guess there is an implicit value judgement here that React+Redux's approach is desirable for your team, so that motivates using utility libraries not optimized for the constrained environment and a FRP framework with those characteristics.
