I am in the UK/ EU as well, my friends and I mostly use Whatsapp, FB messenger, Facetime for voice/video calls (especially when traveling/roaming) as most of them use this. Skype is mainly used for business or other "non-quick" purposes.Quite a few of them don't even have Skype enabled in the "always on" mode, open and login only when needed, unlike the others I mentioned.
Good luck typing it.

My take on the article is that it's the reasonable analysis of how to do what you've been ordered to, whilst minimizing your own casualties. Fair enough. The writers job.
Still, strikes me as if it were the instructions of how to "best remove a screw when you've been given a hammer" (without any consideration of why the screw needs to be removed).

China and WeChat springs to the top of my mind. You can pretty much buy anything you need using it, including giving tips, giving money to buskers etc.
It evolved hugely in its early years; it was originally a one-line status-broadcasting app, hence the name.

And after the pivot to messaging they added embedded media, voice calling and now video calling.
Wouldn't UDP be easier to spoof?
I always find the voice calls on WA much lower in volume than normal phone calls.
I'm a sucker for landing pages that are actually live product demos. Very well done.

The search function is also excellent. (minor issue: on iPhone, after clicking a search result, sometimes the keyboard overlaps the result)

Also, the name, while corny, makes me feel really important :)

Edit: So I just tried to sign in, and it looks like I need a Google account :(
Ask HN: Any academic efforts of writing new national democratic constitutions?
Some (most?) of the national democratic constitutions were written right after or during the periods of distress, and under some urgency, perhaps skipping some cool headed debate/discussions. Amendments to a constitution are supposed to correct issues with them and keep it up to date according to cultural shifts and scientific discoveries. But even then some aspects would be mediocre given the involved lobbying, trade-offs, vote-gathering etc.
Are there any academic efforts of creating new democratic constitutions, which has gone through the rigor of peer reviews and validations against the known forms of inequalities, corruption, injustices, new techinical capabilities etc? Or is a constitution too context (read culture, mindset, economy) dependent or philosophical that such an effort won't be fruitful?
I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.

Sorry yeah, there some better places to live if you want a nightlife, like the Auckland city center or Newmarket, but that's even more expensive. (And still really quiet compared to other places in the world.)

I was talking about the suburbs in west Auckland, like Henderson, Kumeu, etc. And in smaller towns as well. One time we were thinking about moving to New Plymouth, so we stayed for a week, and that was definitely way too quiet for me.

The only thing I know of like that is, alas, extinct. ReelRadio's Top-40 Aircheck stuff. http://reelradio.com/

(I had no luck on Wayback; YMMV) Somewhere out there, someone's sitting on that stuff. I'd be eager to learn more.

(Also out there somewhere is a 48-hour 'History of Rock' radio series that originated 1969. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_Rock_and_Roll
and was updated a couple of times. It WAS online ... I wanna say, a decade ago?)
Reminds me of what my TA showed us in undergrad. If I remember correctly, it went like this:

Consider the regex A: Aa | ϵ, where ϵ denotes the empty string. What strings does it generate?

To solve, rewrite it as A = Aa + ϵ, then find its Taylor series and you're done:

A = ϵ / (ϵ - a) = ϵ + a + aa + aaa + ...
As opposed to the two you mentioned, WhatsApp has e2e by default. Kakaotalk and Telegram force you to use "secret chats" for that which are device to device only and cannot be shared among different devices with the same account.
By the way, that's probably more than $100k/year if he does. Probably triple that with the overhead of the office space, HR and middle management.
Have you ever worked with this sort of platforms? Because this is pretty much all in a day's work there. Things have slowly degraded from back in the days of the first freelancing platforms (e.g. Rent-A-Coder) to a state where it's nothing short of a disaster.

Virtually every freelancer or contractor I know uses these platforms when they're starting out in order to develop a basic network of contacts and a steady (if very badly-paid) stream of contracts to build on. But as soon as you can avoid these platforms, you do. And not because of the fees, which aren't that high, but because of the disastrous support (like in this instance) and lack of protection against scamming.
>because that would require being able to take those instructions that are being "passed through" and run them

Isn't this just a matter of writing it to some page and then setting the RX bit?
I spent the bulk of the first 8.5 years of my career in and around JPL’s Spacecraft Assembly Facility (SAF), Test Engineering Lab (TEL), Assembly, Test, and Launch Operations (ATLO), aka, Building 179.

A lot of software systems in Operations a little more than 10 years ago were (Open?)Motif on Solaris. I remember helping a colleague transition to Qt when Motif’s event system just couldn’t handle an extra 30 data streams we were projecting for use by Mars Science Lander. It was something like a 30 minute demo of Qt Designer (with Hal, the software engineer actually tasked) and him giving up a weekend to full replace all the Motif code. The codebase had shrunk by more than half, all 30 additional data streams had been added, and the Ops Engineers reported that the app was noticeably snappier even with the new streams.
> As is typical when you remove duplication, you notice more duplication, because stuff is closer together: the two parameters are almost identical, except for capitalisation. This doesn't have to be the case, but it is a good convention to have. Alas, the pre-processor can’t change the capitalisation of strings so we are stuck.

If you're at the point where you're using the processor, a bit of runtime trickery might be useful as well; specifically, NSSelectorFromString([CFSTR(commonName ":") lowercaseString]). You get an extra method call at runtime, but honestly, what's an extra couple nanoseconds?
If all nodes in GKE clusters were down for 3 days, I would consider this newsworthy and shocking. This... is not. Come on, people.

What I was wanting would be 'somewhere' all podcast players could write back what you've been doing with them.
Of course the "global podcast tracking organization" could spontaneously form and expose a ReST service to correlate the same data.
Then undoubtedly would need some funding, so maybe charge advertisers for access.
Just liked the lighter weight initial idea of building the ledger and then leaving the advertisers/public to decide what to do with it.
Or to look at it another way - open-source "Nielsen-like" data, created solely for consumption of digital media.
Although cost of implementation is far lower (don't have to install boxes on TVs, or ask what adverts you saw in the paper) - but still we just seem to have proprietary stuff and a bazillion cookies on every website.
No offense, but believing that falling asleep directly in front of an air conditioning when soaked in sweat on a 36°C day will not cause any health issues is a bit naive. I would know that even without a single observation.
A previous employer wanted me to investigate the possibilities of implanted RFID in order to:

- Track employee bathroom breaks

- Track employee hours of work

- Ensure building security

(in that order)

Cards/Tags were not sufficient because he was certain the employees would cheat him by swapping their cards/tags amongst themselves.

Fingerprint "auth" could not be used for sanitary reasons, retina scanning was too slow.

Passive RFID can be read about 10-15 metres with good enough reader tech.

I even suspect Automattic's initial choice to not use React because of the open source license + patents clause was a direct catalyst for Facebook to change the React license, thereby allowing Automattic to use React. Wordpress drives a substantial percentage of the world's websites, so it was probably in Facebook's interest that React was used in project Gutenberg.

Yes, you will dream.
This reminds me of Blink Shell, an iOS "shell" that primarily features ssh and mosh. It also implements a bunch of shell commands (a selection of coreutils and netutils), running natively, but with a shim for `system()'. The idea is that you get a shell environment with the same tools (or almost the same tools) as you would on a traditional *nix system.

I think it's a much more practical approach, especially given that Apple seems to be okay with it on their App Store. However, it does leave some things to be desired that'd be totally catered to by the iSH approach, assuming it develops into something much more complete (I tried the TestFlight and while a basic environment was present a lot of things that'd make for a useful environment didn't seem to be implemented).

Scotty is doing a good job of catching everyone up on what is going on in China. Chinese manufacturers have been putting out 10x10x10 boards for 50 RMB ($7 USD) for many years now. Rush order (24 hours)? Another 50 RMB. Yellow solder mask? Also another 50 RMB. Once you start talking about 4 layer, flex, rgba solder mask or other customization the difference is even greater.

I've gone from 10 minutes of attention time (measured by length of unbroken meditation) by several things. Limiting time I spend on social media to 30 minutes a day. Long distance running and daily meditation. Also focusing on being present when someone is talking to me or having a conversation.
Maybe you focus too much :) try a different approach, perhaps, like the one in "The Inner Game of Tennis".
Evolution doesn't happen by choice. It's just survival of the fittest. Where "fitness" here is to not get shot by people. If that is achieved by having smaller or no tusks, then so be it.
I was not aware of RCS until today. Looking at it I can see governments also being very keen to see it take off; since many of them are worried about end-to-end encryption hindering their ability to snoop on private conversations.
Well, while you are self-employed, you can focus and starve at the same time (easily).

Interesting. There seams to be no way to get a list of available images or a search though. How would one us this API without info about available images?

Or am I missing something?
On principle I don't use Chrome/chromium, unless a project requires it. It's not a bad browser but I wonder if running a google executable on your computer is like inviting a thief into your home. I still remember when chrome first launched and they would check for updates multiple times a day, every hour or something like that. And what's this virus scanner they offer?

Anyway, I run ff most of the time, and there's a site that I use daily that requires a login. Used to be I would receive a recaptcha challenge maybe one or twice a week, even though logged in. No problem, probably using recaptcha to throttle bots I think.

For the last week plus there's been a fundamental change and I'm receiving multiple recaptcha challenges in the same session, even though I'm signed in, max so far has been 4 in the same session covering maybe 30minutes or so.

Not sure if it is the site itself which is to blame for a poor implementation, or if this is google.

But co-incidentally this happens just as google announces recaptcha 3. Conspiracy nuts might say this is google leveraging their effective captcha monopoly to drive users to chrome.
First check if existing ventilation works. In (old) apartments, leaky doors and windows works as intake, and air go out from toilets and kitchen ventilation. Hold a toilet paper tissue at the outtake in the toilet or kitchen, the air flow should be big enough so that the paper get stuck. If it doesn't - try opening the door or windows. If it helped to open the door, or window, you can install window ventilation, which is basically a hole with an adjustable opening. If opening the window doesn't help you need to move the air mechanically by installing a fan in the kitchen outtake and/or the toilet. A fan might solve the problem for you, but might push the air (and smell) into someone else's apartment ... so it's best to work with the rest of the house, and do a whole house solution, sometimes it's as easy as cleaning the ventilation channel, as birds love buildings nests in them because warm air make it cosy.
Nitpick: A is a production, not a regex, which would be something like a*.

Edit: I meant "A: Aa | ε" instead of "A"

Yes it is selective breeding done by nature. So you probably don't see stupid people with rifles as part of nature? On a historic scale what makes them different than just some other random predator?

Yes, in my case. It is not always the case though.

Please join my protest:

If you see an ad on Facebook messenger or WhatsApp, don’t hide it, instead Report It.

Report it as sexual content, report it as a scam, report it for whatever reason.

Guidelines, try to use different reasons and try to make it a realistic reason.

Facebook likes to gather our data for their ML, so let’s weaponize it. If we feed their platform garbage data, the ML will block the ads automatically, driving advertisers away or making report handling prohibitively expensive.

We likely only need 0.01% of users to feed garbage data to trigger their ML decisions. They’ll eventually be forced to find a better alternative.
No... the production is the entire rule, so "A: Aa" and "A: ϵ" are the productions.
I completely agree with this.

I think the important thing is to focus on the long term. Pacing yourself.

My ability to focus used to be terrible. But as with a lot of things, what you practise you get better at.
Meditation can help you practise this, and also give you a reset when you're running low on focus.

I recommend being preemptive, and getting in mental shape, getting in shape, and not over extending yourself.

I can easily focus for 2-3 hours, but then I will be trashed, instead I pace myself and work for 45 minutes then enforce a 15 minute meditation session.
If I'm feeling burnt out, I might go outside or take a longer meditation session.

My meditation style is:
I focus on moving my attention back to my breath every time it wanders off, while listening to white noise.

So you will make individual ads less effective, therefore lowering their value, therefore lowering their cost, therefore in order to secure revenue facebook will need to show you more ads?
> Yes, sometimes cashiers ask if I have certain coins to make giving change easier.

You would have encountered the identical behavior in the bay area if you'd paid for things in cash. That's not because the cashier expects you to have the coins; it's an extra effort on their part to make things more convenient for you.

>The US has no honorable reason for being in the Middle East - if it did, it would also have invaded large chunks of Africa, probably North Korea, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be a US ally and maybe send some troops into a few well chosen South American countries for good measure. The world is horrible, and it is highly suspicious that the Middle East was the first mob in need of 'saving'.

Not only that -- for this assumes that it's ok that the world should have some "savior" state, and even more so, a self-proclaimed one -- as opposed to sovereign countries solving their own problems.
One of my programming assignments for a programming languages class happened to be creating a DFA for regular expressions by taking successive derivatives, except slightly modified to use ranges because the naïve method of taking derivatives isn't great when you have to take 2^(2^16) of them when your alphabet is UTF-16 characters.

Actually, now that I think about it, the entire class was strangely centered around taking derivatives of regular expressions…

Trillian led him for a short walk through the light before she said anything more. He stumbled uncertainly after her. The encircling flashlight beams were drooping slightly now as if they were abdicating to this strange, quiet girl who alone in this Universe of dark confusion seemed to know what she was doing.

She turned and faced him, and lightly held both his arms. He was a picture of bewildered misery.

"Tell me," she said.

He said nothing for a moment, while his gaze darted from one of her eyes to the other.

"We ..." he said, "we have to be alone ... I think." He screwed up his face and then dropped his head forward, shaking it like someone trying to shake a coin out of a money box. He looked up again. "We have this bomb now, you see," he said, "it's just a little one."

"I know," she said.

He goggled at her as if she'd said something very strange about beetroots.

"Honestly," he said, "it's very, very little."

"I know," she said again.

"But they say," his voice trailed on, "they say it can destroy everything that exists. And we have to do that, you see, I think. Will that make us alone? I don't know. It seems to be our function, though," he said, and dropped his head again.

"Whatever that means," said a hollow voice from the crowd.

Trillian slowly put her arms around the poor bewildered young Krikkiter and patted his trembling head on her shoulder.

"It's all right," she said quietly, but clearly enough for all the shadowy crowd to hear, "you don't have to do it."

That’s actually a recurring question I have, given that we have a fairly long (21 chars) domain name: should we stick to first.last@company.com (which is fine but long to type), move to first names only (with the obvious question of what to do once you have 2 employees with the same first name), or purchase a shorter domain name as an alias (which means a lot of changes)?
