Huh? WhatsApp is by far the biggest, with Telegram trailing a distant second place, and other messengers even further behind. There is a case for counting Facebook Messenger as second place, but afaik the only reason most people even use it (and they do it begrudgingly) is because Facebook forces them by excluding messaging from the main app.

I still have a 2013 Pro that I probably would have updated if not for the new Pro’s keyboard problems and Touch Bar. I will honestly never buy another Pro unless they get rid of Touch Bar and make serious keyboard changes (reverting 100% to the previous keyboard would be fine). I might buy an Air if 2019 goes by and the next “Pro” is another fiasco.
Your calculations ignore property taxes and any other tax based upon the value of your house.

Your rates also seem off. http://www.freddiemac.com/pmms/pmms30.html claims the average rate in 1999 was 7.44% and in 2018 it was 4.54%. The fed also just raised their rates in December and plan to do more raising in 2019 so expect these numbers to rise.

Beyond that, it doesn't matter if the price per square foot is the same if they aren't building smaller houses. Points like this is like tricks we pull to keep inflation down. All that matters is how expensive is a house that can put a roof over the head of the number of people I need to. We have 3 kids and we were looking for 4 bedrooms. Newer ones in our area are massive 3,000+ square foot structures we can't afford. So we're stuck in a 50 year old 1900 square foot house that we can afford. With a 50 year old house comes all sorts of annoyances such as asbestos, lead paint, and orangeburg pipes.
This reminds me of a orthopedic surgeon that mentioned when MRI's became available docs could see what was causing the patients problem. Later when MRI's got cheaper and more widespread he started getting referrals because of same things on asymptomatic patients. Which meant to him, just because there is an abnormality on the MRI that isn't necessarily the source of patients problem.
I don't understand, it's impossible not to hear the crickets.

At some point someone jokes/suspects/postulates the presence of accoustic warfare. (tangentially, why do crickets spend so much energy creating that power level of noise? is it to annoy other species away and claim the area as theirs?)

Up to there I can follow with how the embassy reacted. But the moment you suspect and attach importance to the possibility of accoustic warfare, why just send them to the doctor? Medicine works on subtle percentages with large sample sizes. They save lives and livelihood mostly statistically, and not individually in the context of new threats (new virus strain, new weapon, newly recognized cancer...)

It was impossible not to hear the crickets before, so at that point the most rational question becomes: what power spectrum should we expect from those annoying crickets outside?

Why didn't they simply sollicit help from people with actual domain knowledge? normal engineers and sound engineers, physicists, biologists, ...? Why not rent a thermal camera, and survey the local environment, map out the location and density of individual crickets, estimate the total number etc. Then isolate a bunch of crickets and keep them fed, and transport them to a place without crickets (ship them to a ship or whatever), then record a few thousand of their individdual chirps at different distances. Then you can simply calculate/simulate the total sum of both synchronized and unsyncronized chirping behaviours, not sure how to model the synchronization? look at that shelf with the Steven Strogatz book, and if necessary just ask him if he (or one of his grad students) can help out... ffs this whole kindergarten drama can be viewed as an inadvertent leak (poor tradecraft) revealing you organizationally don't even try to get at the bottom of things anymore! All the leet access to backdoors has made the agencies lazy and complacent. It appeared like you no longer needed to select the best and the brightest, ... so you just put your daughter and son in the organization?? pfff
Reasonable is not the term I would use. I've read elsewhere that the rate of home ownership in the UK for 30-somethings is half that of 15 years ago, which is half that again of 30 years ago. Extrapolate that to this distribution and it must have been vastly different for previous generations. Housing has become increasingly unaffordable and those that got in early reap the rewards.

I actually looked for figures like those given by the economist on a whim previously, but couldn't find any readily available data. It's nice to see them now. Too bad there's no comparison to what that distribution would have looked like in the past.

I can't find exactly the article I'm thinking of above, but these two have a similar gist:

It's a massive problem. New construction is bigger, so you get to pay extra for heating, cooling and cleaning, and you also have the extra commute because it's located out of town, across the highway, to keep the rabble out. You can't have reasonable size and a short way to work because the urban school district is too run down.

Andreessen: VR will be “1,000” times bigger than AR
I agree with this. The OP addresses the issue as if the fields are inherently mutually exclusive. There may be areas of the ven diagram of life where they overlap.

For example, you could work on AI to help radiologists identify abnormalities in imaging or robotics in surgery. Or address energy issues in hospitals by optimizing building automation or enterprising with energy performance contracts implementing renewables. The right intersection can keep you motivated by relating to your interest and keep you fulfilled by relating to a noble purpose.

If you can't find an intersection there's nothing wrong with finding a job that allows you the ability to investigate as a hobbyist. Maybe in time you'll build the skills to contribute to those intersection points.

SS7 is horribly secured, and you can pretty easily forge that signaling information.

For the past couple years here in the US, scammers have been calling with stolen numbers that match your prefix more than a random caller probably would. So for ABC-DEF-GHIJ all of ABC-DEF matching is a pretty good sign it's a spammer if you live in a large metropolitan area. Unfortunately it makes them nearly impossible to track back, because when you call the number back, it's some random private number that didn't even make the call and has no idea what you're talking about. I've had a couple very angry people call me and yell to stop trying to sell them credit cards.

I have a mid-2015 MBP 15, which is great, but is a bit beat up (dropped it too many times). I use MacOS for consumer stuff, and a Linux VM for development.

I'd like to replace the machine, but I'm stuck. The newer MBPs are a non-starter, due to the keyboard and touchpad. The Purism Librem 15 is expensive and doesn't put out 4k@60 to an external monitor. The System76 Galaga Pro hardware is not great (touchpad, battery life, general fit and finish). Not interested in running Windows at all, even just to host a VM. Razer looks like great hardware but doesn't support Linux.

Any suggestions?
What are the good and fun areas of Florida? I’ve never been, but always had an impression of it being a large retirement place. Except Miami, ofc, which also didn’t appeal to me. Would love to visit some day, but want to go to the right places. Thank you.
Wait a second... what’s stopping you from changing —this— situation then? Solve the data format problem. Make it easier for everyone to exchange data in meaningful, efficient ways.

Sounds like a terrible pain that you understand well enough to be able to solve. When you have, it might remove a major bottleneck and open the floodgates for more smart people to join, ultimately benefitting healthcare in a massive way.

Make people want to work in that industry :)
Issue 250 took 13 hours to be fixed. That's pretty great turnaround!

Riiight. Because the market for immersive escapism (video games, Hollywood, etc) is so much bigger than the market for dealing with mundane reality (smartphones). Good luck with that prognosis.

Andreessen’s point about audio being “titanically” important is well taken, however. It is indeed an under utilized information channel with all the focus going to optical displays.
Only if you’re a Mac person. If you’re comfortable with Linux Lenovo x1 is a great machine. I’m deep on the Mac bandwagon though and my next machine will probably be the new air and not a mbp
Binary transparency would be nice to see even with Signal. A notification is sent from one client to the next encrypted if either party is not up to date sent to both parties in the convo, and another if their apps are not properly sourced. Since these notifications would be sent end to end encrypted only both parties should in theory know. Then if the feature ever got removed... It would be a canary of its own. Could be applied to any other app that attempts to do end to end encryption.
No. That's a voluntary arrangement where families support their elderly relatives, or where society consents to support the elderly via taxation and redistribution. This is a situation where the older generation have an economic near-monopoly on housing and use that to extract rent where the renters have little alternative. I don't see these as being the same.

Do you mean that even when it is scientifically proved that your code is more readable when using more white space like in: console.log( "Hello world!" ); we are not even allowed to mention that because some random dudes decided we have to adhere to the "airbnb" settings?

I bring this up because I think it's pathetic, like many other things in the JS community. Tired debate or not, we should have freedom of thinking and speech please! Programming is also a very creative activity, we should not destroy that with these kind of silly rules that make it more of an administrative activity.
This is pretty fun. You might run into a useless result, such as "Hi, I'd like to buy some weed." without blunders translating to a 369 move game, but if you have the freedom to experiment with minor variations, you can find one that works. "Hi, I'd like to buy some weed" is only 41 moves.
Periodic review is the most important thing for your creative ideas, next to writing them down.

I love to write on clean sheets of copy paper. Most notebooks don't lie flat and the ones that do seem to fall apart with travel. I used to have tons of loose copy paper floating around my laptop bag, desk, folders, cabinets, etc... It was getting lost and damaged so I bought an iPad Pro and got used to writing on it. I still prefer paper, but at least I'm not losing my ideas now.

Two years ago I printed everything out (including all the scanned copy paper from older notes). It was about a ream of paper.

I started going through it, it was surprised at how many amazing and prescient thoughts I'd had and later forgotten about. There were thoughts that, combined with newer thoughts, created powerful insights that have benefited my clients and made me more money.

I have not done a review of my notes since then and I sorely need to, but I can say with absolute certainty that periodically reviewing your notes will bring you great value.
Why not? It's totally reasonable if you learn a language to get familiar with the concepts in it. Every language is different here and there and the 'class' describes well what it does: wrap things together that belong together.

Mostly good old web stuff.

I don't think it is that black and white. I have heard from some companies adopting Elixir that hiring became easier because the demand for their previous technology was really high and they could differentiate themselves with Elixir.

There are also companies that we really successful in hiring by reaching out to functional communities in general. And of course, there are also companies struggling to hire Elixir developers compared to other techs. YMMV.
Recursively applied to the kids, and their kids, that sounds like a recipe for no contribution and no solving of problems.

You can use a third party Facebook app like Material or Tinfoil Hat that has messaging built in by simulating an old web browser. It's a little clunky but it at least isn't always running and has no access to your address book or contacts.

The downside that you get no alerts someone responded but I like it. I check on my own time.

I think Wire is my favorite out of all of them since they are properly open sourced and like you said dont require a phone number or email. You can also nuke all your messages and your account. Sadly it lacks many people having heard of it.
It would be like a chef who doesn't wash his hands firing a line cook for not washing his hands. A company giving their executive who stores social security numbers on the same system on which she opens emails (and trusts them implicitly without a second thought) a free pass is a way for them to give themselves a free pass. If she were to be held responsible for not understanding basic security protocols then the company could be held accountable for failing to train her properly. Until we raise our standards the companies who compromise our privacy and security will have no incentive to raise theirs.

Do you have a right to behave as if every link and file is safe and secure or should the people who are tasked with protecting personal information be expected to behave with reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing on the part of perfect strangers? HN wants to have it both ways, apparently.
What they've been doing around me is remodeling to turn a middle-cost property into several low-cost apartment properties. Take out the inside stairs, add a kitchen to the basement, etc.
What a waste that they did the work with an obligate-GC language and runtime. Without, it would be directly useful in making a verified OS and verified embedded systems.

But Academia demands GC in any linguistic system, and systematically ignores all results that avoid it.
In short, abandoning the most important engine of wealth creation and savings in exchange for consumption that many of them will not be able to sustain in the elder years. Don't get me wrong, surely you can save and rent, but it takes much more discipline and it's not a choice I would say is appropriate for all young people.
but...if you do it means you are managing the real output - surely something that gives you an advantage... unless management is not about getting the best results from each employee

My family was short on bedrooms growing up, so we doubled up. Nothing wrong with that.
I phrased it badly, and I have a slightly odd niche - when I last looked at this a few years ago I was trying to find ways to get doctors to stop sending group SMS messages between themselves for patient handoffs.

At the time there wasn't much out there, and nothing run by Facebook was even going to pass the initial sniff test as an option.
Back in the real world, US inflation was in the 2-3% range for most of 2002-2009, hitting the giddy heights of 3.84% at one point and inflation rates in many of the other countries you've listed were actually higher...

This happens to me too. TST seems to currently be riddled with all kinds of unusual bugs that only crop up occasionally. Workarounds: Sometimes keyboard shortcuts still work when mouse interaction doesn't. Other times closing then opening the side panel again causes TST to stabilize it's state.

Evernote has a global shortcut to active: Cmd-Ctrl-E (like Evernote), which will bring the Evernote app into the foreground and positions you into the search field.

Then you can either create a new note with Cmd-N (like New), or you can start typing the words you a
re looking for.

Are you sure something like that doesn't work for you?

Disclaimer: I don't use Evernote for note taking but for capturing what I read on the web and taking photos of documents and receipts. It's supposed to be like an external brain to me.

I also share this "capture log" publicly, so I can search it without a login from anywhere: https://www.evernote.com/pub/onetom/links

Search sucks in it though; often I end up just googling instead at the end.

I would also rather use something https://typora.io/ or https://caret.io/ for actual note authoring...

And I also agree that Evernote is a bit of a bloatware, but it's good enough, so I even pay for it yearly, since it can OCR the receipts I scan (and it also supposed to work offline too, though I haven't figured out how)
If I remember correctly it used to be the case that every JavaScript repo came with it's own eccentric style. I'm certainly guilty of that. Now -- when we have these style "standard" style guides -- we've sort of settled on 3 or 4 competing standards. None of them look particularly bad (or at least not worse then my personal style cerca 2012).

Don't get me wrong. We still engage in stupid bikeshedding about semi vs. no semi, tabs vs. spaces etc. but I feel overall we've embiggened our spirit when it comes to code style debates.
It’s too bad there aren’t any good investment vehicles that track particular residential real estate markets at least reasonably well.

I'm not fixating on anything - you were the one who highlighted the contest and its lack of winners as the first part of your argument for Telegram's security:

> Telegram regularly has contests to break its encryption with a reward of 300K USD

> If it's not secure, then surely people would be cashing in on that sweet money.

Like I said in my first comment, all I'm doing is explaining why a contest requiring known ciphertext attacks is not evidence of cryptographic security. You originally spoke to this point, and I am responding about that point in particular because it's a topic I know intimately well.

You can double down on your second point about there being no published exploits; that's not something I can confidently speak to. I think there are reasonable counterpoints citing serious vulnerabilities are not always publicized, but I'll leave it to others to discuss that point.

It's not my goal to convince you that Telegram is insecure. What is important from my perspective is that you understand contests are in fact contrived and noisy, and should not be considered evidence of cryptographic security whatsoever.

You only have to see how he writes. What other projects / teams would have reported as "fixed some bugs and replaced the unsupported spell checker technology with hunspell, all going well!" here it takes several pages of... fluff, if you ask me. Either that, or contrived phrases just for the sake of writing a lot of latin expressions.

Now imagine instead a black kid from an area where gang violence is rampant and schooling opportunities are poor. You would have to give that kid extra aid to counter the issues he faces which are a result of years of white flight and systemic racism.

When you assess each person as an individual, the whole result would be that minority families would need more aid than white families. But if you chose to implement policies that recognize this problem, you get accused of playing 'identity politics' and people demand you ignore race/gender.

Which then the end result is that by attempting to be color blind, you're effectively denying minorities the aid they need. You've circled all the way back around to racist policies that ignore the problems at hand.
