It also depends on how motivated enough you are. Even as early 2005 most of us in India couldn't afford computers. I remember we wrote 8085 programs all on paper. Limited time was available, with limited kits in the lab, but we were motivated enough to do it on paper alone.

These days where everything is supposed to be easy, newbie friendly, accommodating and all that. People have a tendency to quit early and expect the ecosystem to make it easy for them.

These days you get a decent computer under $100 if you use a Rasberry Pi. I could do anything for something like that a decade back.
As there's pretty obvious bias showing in the values, some methodology would be good to accompany this sheet.

e.g.

- Telegram: E2E Private: TRUE

- WhatsApp: E2E Private: CLAIMED

These are either both "true", or both "claimed". Pick one.

In particular, what's the definition of the "Open Spec" column? Signal's GPL spec gets a FALSE here so I'm presuming the definition is something along the lines of "Spec produced by one ofa group of arbitrarily approved bodies of which Open Whisper is not a member"

A “market based” solution makes no sense here.

The fact that Google is entering this market in the first place, in essence putting profit over ethics, weakens your point further.

Why build muscles, or stronger bones, if the body overall never does anything to need them? It would be wasted motion from their point of view.

Since 71% of pollution is coming from 100 companies[1] I don't think that you can stop global warming by being vegan or driving less. Blaming us single individuals is easy, but we a are not directly responsible for this. The most we can do is stop buying stuff from these polluting companies.

The concern isn't about personal purity. It's about other human beings being treated as less equal or less important.

Everyone is equal on some level just by being human. They are inherently worth treating well. That includes freedom from death and harm. But that also includes freedom of thought, conscience, and expression.
At the very end, about a current implementation:

> The free piston is magnetically coupled to the passenger modules above; this arrangement allows the power tube to be closed, avoiding leakage. The transportation unit operates above the power tube on a pair of parallel steel rails. The company currently has a 1/6 scale pilot model operating on an outdoor test guideway... The Corporation claims that a full-scale implementation would be capable of speeds in excess of 200 mph (322 km/h).

It sounds like magnetic coupling is the solution to the maintenance issues.

But it also seems like you can only have one train on a track at any given time.

Or, at least a track would have to be divided into sections, each with its own pumps and own piston, which could only support one train at a time... and then the piston would have to be sent backwards to the beginning of the section to be ready for the next train. (And you'd need electromagnets to let go of one piston and grab the one on the next section.)

So I can see why this might not be viable for something like a city's subway system.

But at the end of the day... what advantages would this ever have over electric trains that get their power from a third rail?
Soluto - it profiled your Windows boot time and did some other performance monitoring. There are alternatives (e.g. Task Manager's Startup tab), but I feel like they lack some of its killer features:

- Option to defer process start, rather than disable it entirely.

- Aggregated statistics on what other people did, and recommendations for a curated set of processes (e.g. Spotify, Steam).

- Generally nice UI design.
WhatsApp does but the author of this sheet has chosen to list it as "claimed", despite other also-unverified clients like Telegram getting a "true" for their (non-default) e2e support.

FWIW I believe Riot/Matrix are planning e2e by default as soon as their implementation stabilises. Theirs is more complex/powerful than WhatsApp's though since they have multidevice support (which WhatsApp lacks). They've avoided making it default sofar due to bad UX and the possibility of losing access to conversations across devices, but it's improving rapidly.

Well, that is a protocol comparison. A client comparison would be much closer to the real world user experience. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan (and daily user) of XMPP, but the best protocol will not be of any use if the clients are too complicated or buggy to use.

So yes, XMPP supports audio and video calls but finding two different clients which work on the first try together can be a challenge. Sometimes I wish there would be some compatibility XEP which defines a common set of supported XEPs including a test suite to run it against.
Maybe, but at least currently it does support E2E.

Disclosure: I work for MongoDB.

I suspect some people are responding to what they've heard, so I just want to post section 13 of the SSPL here for everyone's convenience. This section is the only part of the SSPL that isn't exactly the GPL:

> 13. Offering the Program as a Service.

> If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the terms of this License. Making the functionality of the Program or modified version available to third parties as a service includes, without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the functionality of the Program or modified version remotely through a computer network, offering a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or offering a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the Software or modified version.

> “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available.

Regardless of how you feel about the purpose of the SSPL, it absolutely does not apply any restrictions to using the licensed software. What it does is codify the responsibilities of someone who runs the software as a service.
I'm from Porto Alegre. The aeromovel works fine, but I guess an electric train could fit the same constraints.

Difficult, but not impossible. You can sell coding training, basically do targeted lectures on areas where you see a company's coders struggling. The problem with this is that the improvement is long-term and practically invisible at the management level.
> I'm tired of arguing this to amateurs; take it to a judge and try it yourself. I'll bring the popcorn.

I've upvoted your comments in this thread because they're interesting, but you don't seem to be providing many references yourself so I'm not so sure why you are demanding references of others. (You did reference the "I agree" button below, but I don't see how that implies fraud in this case.)

The question of fraud aside, my main question is what the actual financial harm is to United. It's not like they can say here's the price you would have gotten by going A -> B -> C and here's the price for A -> B, therefore you owe us the difference because there is no single price to refer to in the first place. All the different prices vary across the board at different times for different people for the same service. Also is there any real harm? Is taking the A -> B -> C route and hopping off at B causing them a financial loss?

> > if enough people agree that I lied, you get a portion of the market fees

> This creates a host of post-closing political incentives. You are no longer betting on an event outcome, but on a consensus process.

even on scicast, which was running (largely) apolitical questions and had impartial academics resolving the questions, you needed to be aware that you weren't betting on the outcome, you were betting on how somebody would decide the outcome.

it tended to be more of an issue the fuzzier the question, or the the punchier and more news-headline-y the short version of the question was. (which also made it more likely to attract the newer, less sophisticated users.)

seeing the problems that even scicast had with poorly worded questions, i don't have much hope for augur.

> The stock market is fundamentally a gambling exchange too, but it provides valuable information about the economy for free, funded by the gamblers taking part.

A stock exchange is no more a gambling den than a flea market is, although one may choose to engage in speculative activities at both.

I feel it's also a stretch to say that an equities market provides information about the economy. The information produced by trading activity on a stock exchange is principally indicative of what price people are willing to trade given stocks at. Without augmenting the transaction data with other sets of data (company fundamentals, economic reports, etc.), it's hard to draw meaningful conclusions about the economy from these transactions alone.

If you consider the valuation of a stock according to a standard modeling technique (DCF), in which the price paid for a stock is equal to the net present value of all future cashflows, you can see how a change in a stock's price may indicate nothing at all about current economic conditions. Consider, for example, a company that is prohibited from selling widgets for a year due to a patent dispute with another firm. The price of that company's stock will fall, even though we know nothing about levels of widget consumption in the economy.

This is neat but it has plenty of flaws.

I wish the definitions were spelled out. It says Signal isn't "anonymous", which I assume means "uses a phone number to find peers". And it has the usual feature matrix problem: sure XMPP "does E2E". But what does that mean? It supports S/MIME. Do you want S/MIME? (You don't.) It supports OTR, TS and SCIMP too: but you need to be an expert in messaging schemes to understand how those are different. None of them implement double ratchets. None of them implement even close to the privacy features Signal has implemented. But on this diagram it is clearly better because there is more green and less red.

Another example: "open server" and "on-premise" says nothing about whether or not you really want to run one of those instances. It just says that hypothetically one could.

In terms of errors: the linked "E2E audit" for Telegram did not audit E2E at all, and in fact only cites sources saying that it's probably fucked. Wire has a real audit that isn't listed. WhatsApp uses Signal, just with fewer of the.

Use WhatsApp to talk to normal people. Use Signal for nerds, and... probably Matrix for group collab? Or maybe stop caring about secure messages for group collab so much :-)

I won't argue any of your UI opinions other than to say that riot - which is only one of the many possible clients [1] over the matrix protocol - is still in early days, and is getting better with each version. That being said, as far as having to remember everyone's matrix id, I'm sure users had similar complaints back when email addresses were still novel. I'm sure conceptual address books will be a thing in future matrix clients - both riot as well as others. Failing that, you can always submit a feature request! [2]

Producing 55k Model 3's per quarter [1] will definitely help with the cash flow situation. I think the biggest questions that determine if they can be self-sustaining are:

- Can they ramp up Model 3 production quickly enough to meet the debt obligations they have accumulated to date?

- What will the average Model 3 margin be, given the price distribution from 60k to 35k?

The bull case [2] aligns with your basic assumptions that the 3 will add significant cash flow that allows them to get over the "debt maturity hump". Note that their analysis does include other sources of cash flow (energy credits, remaining line of credit).

The bear case, basically, disagrees. They suppose that there will not be sufficient demand for the higher end Model 3, given increased competition from vehicles like 2019 Jaguar I-Pace (69.5k, 240mi); Chevy Bolt (37.5k, 235mi); and maybe Hyundai Kona EV (? $, 250 mi). This could then put Tesla into a negative spiral, where shrinking orders cause their accounts payable to not keep up with their lagged accounts receivable.

Also it's worth noting that they are probably on track to spend 2.5B in capital on PP&E this year based on 1.25B in first six months [3], and spent 3.6B, 1.3B, and 1.6B in the previous three years[4]. Adding in another 0.75 - 1.0 in selling/general/admin and R&D costs per quarter, on top of the cost of producing their cars and servicing their debt, makes even the 3B/yr in Model 3 gross profit case less of a slam dunk for Tesla success.

I think it really could go either way at this point, and the next six months will be telling. Elon does has a tendency to just make things work, but I am taking a risk here and siding more with the negative case.

Except for an almost vanishingly small number of users, everything was more or less a walled garden at the time including your local BBS system.

It's a tempting narrative to focus on Sears' failure because of their catalog. But, truth be told, the Sears catalog hadn't been a thing for the vast majority of Americans for decades. In the mid-nineties Sears was mostly an appliance and hardware store (with a bit of an identity crisis) at a time when the big box home improvement and discount stores were starting to get big.

It's somewhat fair to say that Sears could have been Amazon while taking advantage of their retail footprint. But I'm not sure that Sears was special in this regard compared to any other of the big retail chains (none of which were oriented toward the way Amazon entered the market with books and then digital media).
