iMessages integrates really well with os x...
as a xoogler, I wish they would've titled this, "an update on allo".
They could... if their own messaging strategy wasn’t almost as bad as Google’s. Skype just got a top-to-bottom redesign that everyone hates, and Teams (which may or may not be the replacement for Lync, or Skype for Business, or whatever it’s called now) is like a checklist of everything terrible about Electron applications: it’s slow as molasses, uses boatloads of memory, and has no integration with the host OS. It’s actually worse than Slack, which is an impressive feat!

There’s something hilariously tragic about this being the perfect opportunity for Microsoft to deliver Google a coup-de-grace on messaging, and they can’t do it because they’re just as incompetent.
>Would they withdraw entirely from the Australian market? You'd have to think that is a live possibility.

Honestly I pray that's what happens. Maybe the lobotomized masses will then actually start caring about their (lack of) privacy and stop these dimwits from putting everyone at risk.
Interesting, even if they don't have an SMS API yet.

I will have to check again their offer, and see if their native client improved.

At the moment I mostly use them for fax and SIP trunking.

Even if twilio is good, I'd rather now have everything in one place.

Stripe uses the same process for scaling our management corps as we do our ICs. All the steps are tailored to the role the person would be filling at the company.

That being said, I think this is a great point. All the considerations others have brought up in this thread can be multiplied for manager roles. It's very important to get this right when you're scaling up a team!

USD transactions don't have to flow through the US, either nominally or in actuality.

This is obviously true in the case of cash transactions which consist of the physical transfer of small green pieces of paper in places outside the US.

It is also true of bank transactions, for example the vast Eurodollar market which has been in existence since the 1950s. If a non-US bank offers USD-denominated accounts and transfers funds from one of those accounts to another, this can and does happen entirely outside US jurisdiction.
Morally equivalent? Who is the arbiter of moral valence?

This sense of moral superiority or having a better judgement than others, is exactly the property that blinds individuals and entire cultures to the absurdity of their own morals.
Or not so distant future. There has been a relative standstill in physics in spite of perhaps more 'known unknowns' than ever before. The problem with models independent of 'reality' is a lack of falsifiability. This in turn means the model itself becomes indefinitely self sustaining even when it's completely wrong as each wrong prediction is then simply massaged back into the model to artificially produce a correct answer.

For instance a recent conversation I had was discussing the big bang and the cosmic microwave background radiation. Somebody thought that the CMB was evidence of the big bang. Of course when the CMB was first observed/measured it completely falsified our idea of a big bang due to the horizon problem -- regions of space that should not be causally connected are somehow homogeneous, which should be impossible. But instead of this observation != prediction indicating some fundamental problem we instead add in a magical hyper-inflation period to the model of the big bang so that the model can now "predict" what we see. And now you have people that believe that the CMB itself is evidence of the model's accuracy, when in reality the CMB refuted our models and we were forced to massage it back into the model in a rather arbitrary fashion. There is absolutely no physical reason to accept hyper-inflation other than 'if we add this magic event, then we can keep using this model.'

For a less contemporary example consider geocentricism - the idea that everything rotated around the Earth. Prior to Newtonian mechanics and other 'real' systems of interaction, we simply used models for orbital mechanics. And these models ended up being quite rediculous. You had planets doing magical swirlies, stopping and going backwards, and all other sorts of things. But because you can't falsify models detached from reality, everybody just shrugged their shoulders and accepted it for something on the order of centuries. And as time passes these models become even more difficult to replace because it ends up meaning you'd basically have to toss something on the order of decades, if not centuries, of past work. In this particular case astrology, for instance, was in the past a scholarly and academic field analogous in many ways to psychology today. Refuting geocentricism involved completely scrapping this entire field, and centuries of work within it, due to the fact it took things such as Mercury going backwards as key components of its analysis of human psychology.

The point of this all is that as you accept models, it can be that you're searching for answers at the entire wrong level of a problem. For instance astronomers in times of a geocentric universe may have been trying to explain why Mercury went backwards during its orbit, yet it's extremely difficult to answer something when you start with a wrong assumption -- in that case that the planet does indeed go backwards at some point, planets have these orbital swirlies, and so on. People like to rewrite history to blame geocentricism on the church, but inertia is not limited to divine belief.

Gchat worked both in the browser and years after I started using it in browser as an app. Google Talk was a forced downgrade of a working app to an app that used way more data to not work for most practical purposes. I am ignorant of the technical details but Gchat worked and that was the first and last time I’ve spent more than ten minutes on a google chat platform.

They had a massive base of users in everyone who had a gmail account, many of whom used Gchat and they threw it away. It’s like if Apple managed to so badly screw up iMessage that it disappeared from use.
How is 100% compensation silly? Non-compete agreements restrict your ability to freely practice your craft. They are prone to being improperly applied or outright abused (see Jimmy John's audacious non-compete clause). This has happened so often that California practically outlawed them. The root of the problem is that a boiler plate non-compete clause in every employee contract costs nothing. The company can pick and choose when to enforce it, so why not include it? Requiring 100% compensation forces companies to justify the non-compete with their pocket book. This is a powerful feedback mechanism that balances restricting a person's basic rights with legitimate business needs.

> Right to Work laws say that workers can't be forced to join a union.

They say no such thing. They say that companies can't form agreements to exclusively hire union workers. They outlaw essentially non-competes in the opposite direction. A non-compete agreement binds a worker to exclusivity with a company. The agreements outlawed by right-to-work laws bind companies to exclusivity with a union.
Yes, that was my point. That Musk actively encourages other companies to share in his companies' innovations.
Since when are Chinese citizens governed by US laws though? Did I miss something there? There's a jurisdictional issue.

It's lack of vision. There are not many in the company who strives for the best product, or have the vision to make a change. As the company got larger, people started caring for more about career and less about great products. People who solve for some director's problem got promoted over the ones who truly deserved it.

USA world police
The US and China should behave morally. I disagree with the real politks strategy. I'm sure many countries want to behave that way, I'm glad there is still the rule of law in the US (even as our president tries to subvert it). The US doesn't always act morally, but often it does - our laws against us companies bribing people in other countries are a good thing even though it makes it harder for us companies to operate in other places.

I'm not naive enough to think that China will suddenly reform itself, end oppression against it's people and take complete advantage of its people's incredible energy, creativity and intelligence.

In a sparse location, with one or a few buildings off on their own, parking is free and self-incentivized, because there's simply no way around it (the business needs parking more than people need the business)

In an artificially dense location (eg parking mall/center), parking is free and its owned and maintained by the owners of the overall location, paid for by the business's rent.

In an organically dense location (eg chicago downtown, chinatowns, etc), a parking-market will inevitably exist, and garages/lots will be privately owned & maintained, paid for by, well, the price of parking.

Parking minimums seem to me to be an artificial solution to an artificial problem: the only time it might be effective is in the last case, and that's only if you believe parking should always be free. If you accept the parking-market, as most cities do, the market solves parking without issue. Zoning would just be a bandage solution, vulnerable to many edge cases, and likely lead to similar and perhaps even brand new mistaken outcomes.
Some fashionable philosophers and futurologists share this view, but it is not backed by any new factual findings. To me the statement "the self is an illusion" is borderline oxymoronic: who is it that is having the illusion, if there is no self? An "illusion" is by definition an incongruence between objective reality and subjective perception. And subjective perception requires, necessarily, a self.
Thanks, that's obviously a much better way to think about it. However, you're wrong in at least the typical physics definition of inertia found in dictionaries is in fact, "resistance of change (velocity, acceleration, momentum)."

In that same framework, the maths definition of inertia is also momentum = mv and a google search confirms this. What would negative momentum even look like? Because that's not just movement in the opposite direction.

I've dealt with Python package management for awhile, haven't used Pipenv a lot (as my company has their own homegrown duct-tape-pip-and-virtualenv-together solution that they started building before Pipenv was available), and I've noticed a few things.

The root problem is that just having a system like pip to manage your Python dependencies is woefully insufficient, because it installs dependencies globally, you might need different versions in different projects, and you might be trying to link in some native code, so that behavior will change based on what you already have installed or what your OS is. Also, to make matters worse, you also have to manage your dependency on Python itself, since there are multiple mutually incompatible versions.

So you can use virtualenv to handle the problem of isolating one Python project from another, pyenv to handle the problem of different Python projects using different versions of Python. Then you need a system like pipenv to tie them all together. Except pipenv, itself, is in Python, so there's a bootstrapping issue with using a tool written in Python that has a dependency on a Python interpreter to indirectly manage your dependency on a Python interpreter. Sometimes if you do something ridiculous like "using a Mac where you haven't specifically installed the right version of Python via pyenv or Homebrew yet", things will break in confusing ways.

One way around this whole mess is to put everything in a Docker container, so you get to stipulate that everything runs on a particular Linux distro with a particular set of dependencies from the ground up and there's no possibility of anything else at all on your or any other machine ever polluting that dependency chain and even if you're on a Mac it'll just install dependencies and run code inside of a VM. The isolation you're trying to accomplish with virtualenv or even pyenv, whether by hand or using a tool like pipenv, is pretty much just a poor man's Docker container anyway. But this adds complexity of its own while still punting the real work off to a tool like Pip.

I suspect they mean that once you've logged in with your Apple ID, which is pretty much required to use an iOS device beyond the stock apps, iMessage and FaceTime both get set up.

So, if setting up a phone for nana, you take it out of the box, set her up with an Apple ID, put it back in the box, send it to her, she takes it out of the box, and then you call or text her, all she has to do is answer the call. No futzing with downloading the right app, no having to make sure the person on the other end is using the same chat service; just doing it.

I've been in many come-to-Jesus meetings wherein Leadership acknowledges their strategic failures, then busts out a presentation detailing the New Strategy, consisting of mild tweaks of the Existing Strategy.

Mild tweaks are great because they spare Leadership the pain of making hard decisions.

> And by refocusing on Messages and Duo for consumers and Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet for team collaboration

"Instead of working on five products, we're 'refocusing' down to four products." Right.

This has the stench of a post-faction justification that expertly avoids stepping on too many toes. IME Leadership gets axed by Senior Leadership not too long after.
Why did you let your employer effectively commandeer your personal phone number?
> It really depends on where the tipping point is, country X might have a slight advantage but measures like this can widen the gap, then secondary factors like economies of scale kick in.

For most markets with behaviors like that you're already doomed, because the other country will figure it out and borrow some money so they can operate temporarily at a loss or convince the government to provide temporary subsidies until they achieve the economies of scale. More likely a marginal cost increase would only result in a marginal reduction in demand.

Notice also that this is the exact argument used against anything that increases costs on local businesses. France might have some candidate regulations nearer to the front of the line than the carbon tax if they were actually interested in taking that seriously.

> Most international agreements are (rightfully) trying to give developing countries a reprieve and let the developed ones shoulder must of the short term burden for the renewable transition.

But then it's doing what it's supposed to do. Why volunteer for a burden and then complain when it comes?

> But it's happening at the same time that we're reducing tariffs and developing countries get a double advantage while the working class in developed nations get a kick in the guts.

Which is why all the money should be going to a UBI.

> I'm all for both, but using a carbon tax to fund UBI would invert the incentive, governments would want companies polluting more to fund their welfare commitments. We see the same with high cigarette taxes, the government gets dependent on them for general revenue.

This is a generic anti-tax argument. If the government collected tax revenues from American tech companies, they would become dependent on the money and become unwilling to resist their privacy invasions, therefore they should subject all those companies to no taxes.

The thing about that argument in this case is that it only applies as long as the carbon tax exists, which will make it continue to exist, which is good. Moreover, the easiest way for the government to placate recipients and give them more money isn't to get people to burn more oil (which is pretty hard if you're taxing it heavily), it's to raise the carbon tax rate. Which is also good.

At some point people will actually stop burning oil and the UBI would have to be funded some other way if you want to keep it, but so what? Having that problem implies having solved the original one. And having a population that has seen the benefits of a UBI and wants to continue having it seems like a pretty good problem to have too.
Our android engineer recommended the Nokia 7 to my wife and she's been really happy with it. The closest analogue was the first iteration of Nexus 5's google put out. They're phones that just work consistently and perform well at a low price point.

The only issue I've seen with the Nokia's is there seems to be just a touch of audio latency somewhere in the stack. It means video calls where you can sometimes hear your own voice, which is a huge personal pet peeve, but overall they work really well.
And neither have anything in particular to do with export laws, which are the subject at hand.
You're analysis is correct.

I did briefly consider this when originally throwing together the PoC. It seemed reasonable at the time to test for the behaviour of the kubernetes apiserver as implemented, not how it could theoretically behave if implemented differently. In the ALB/L7 type use case, I'm not sure a reliable PoC can ever exist, because even if you do successfully exploit it, the second request can be load balanced elsewhere.

Also, I don't believe you would necessarily need a separate pod, the PoC could work by using different endpoints, such as exec vs logs, or even better, try and hit a non pod related API endpoint within kubelet. Unfortunately I tried to get the PoC working quickly, and didn't have a chance to revisit this today to see if it can be enhanced.
