This package [1] on f-droid is built directly of the source on github [2]. Even if the source is old so is the package. F-droid compiles this package not telegram.

I wrote the peertube client Throium which is also available on f-droid [3]. When I Tag a new release on github, f-droid will build the package automatically and publish it the next day. I do not build the packages for f-droid.

Future To-Do: Read this from cover to cover...

What a great submission to HN! This is, or should be a classic in the field!
If maximizing value to the shareholders is the goal, companies should dissolve and pay out the proceeds as dividends.
I agree. I think also there's problems with how GDP is calculated.

If everyone who used spotify was paying 79p per track you would see massive economic growth in the music sector. However because it's an all inclusive streaming service not a huge amount more money is moving through it.

However as a consumer I am getting 1000x more music now than when I was 15yrs old. That doesn't seem to get recorded though.

So much stuff on the internet (like stack overflow or github) has gargantuan economic value but doesn't figure in GDP stats because it's mostly free.
I feel like I addressed this in my comment, but my point is that “getting satisfaction from recognition” and “getting satisfaction internally” are not mutually exclusive.

It’s also not sustainable for me to eat at fancy restaurants for every meal, but that doesn’t mean I need to avoid ever eating at fancy restaurants. It means I should account for multiple sources of food.
No, it would not; the parent comment is correct. Leave nature to determine what will grow best on the land, including the types of trees that take root. Only then will you end up with the optimal biodiversity and ecosystem.

No, the point is that "if you put on a façade for long enough, you end up forgetting that it is a façade"
Consider including screenshots!

A previous job had "monthly" ad hoc desk demos to show off whatever we were working on to our tech lead. Since I can barely remember what I did yesterday if my life depended on it, this became a monthly "crawl p4 history and summarize for myself to summarize for others" routine.

And of course, it's hard to demo when you've just broken your local checkout. Or touched a common header and need an hour to finish recompiling the entire codebase. And waiting around all day being conservative with my changes - or multiple days, in the event of delays or rescheduling - feels like wasted time.

Slap some screenshots, gifs, or video on an internal wiki and bam - even if you can't demo in realtime because you broke something or are compiling, you can still demo. And now you can share it with coworkers who want to build upon your work, use your tools, etc. as a very easy way to see exactly where you've hidden the new feature in whatever bespoke thing you're doing!
If you literally have problems feeding your children, you might want to change employers, or, if opportunities are that slim where you are, change field of endeavour completely.

If you don't mean it literally, there's no reason to conjure up an "elite" spectre and create a false argument against that to engage with the gp.
You subscribe to the Sam Vimes "Boot Theory" of economics: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Vimes (sorry for general link due to mobile / bad internet). I do too.
What potential risks can you think of for this approach?
I appreciate games like the Anno series in the core niche of city or empire-building. I went looking for city building game lists on YT and there are some promising games coming up, and there are some series with promising sequels.

Age of Empires is being revived with the classic, well-proven look and feel, with upgraded graphics and new campaigns. Settlers is being revived with the classic gameplay (I hope) and not the AoE style gameplay.

There are several other games expected to be released this year or next and look like excellent candidates for being top-of-the-line strategy and city-building games. I hope at least some of them live up to the promos and hype.
They are a rebalancing between the portions of the business funded/owned by debt and by equity claims where the portion funded by equity claims has grown significantly out of balance as a result of interest rates (and thus discount rates) falling substantially.

Because there are large parts of the market who don't invest across the capital structure (ie they only buy debt or only buy equity), this can still lead to better allocation of capital.

You would only need to do that if you read the sentence unnaturally as "There exist modern theorizations... which make such and such silly claim."

The natural reading is "Modern theorizations characteristically... make such and such silly claim", and you don't need to read any one in particular to know that that's false. You just need to be familiar with the field.
Then there is the issue of whether you want to invest time learning technologies that are still unstable. The stuff you learned 15 years ago is probably still working (and you can make a website with that too). Will modern javascript be around in 15 years?
This and problems like this are rampant in New England which is mostly covered by a lot of smaller towns (with a few large cities of course). Basically everything usually resets at a town boundary. Sometimes the name changes. Sometimes it doesn't. But numbers almost always reset.

And, even within a town, it's not unusual for streets to change name a couple times in the course of a few miles. And towns reuse street names all the time--especially for things like Main Street.
It would be great if they standardised battery packs and made them configurable. So you don't need all that weight being carried around when it isn't needed, or you could rent more batteries for long journies if you rarely travel very far, maybe exchange cells instead of charging along the journey. Two-car(+) households can pool their batteries for going on holidays etc.

I don't think it will happen though. It would be tricky to get the right size/ weight that most people can carry without making it tedious (wouldn't be fun swapping 18650s around). Any larger and people would need hoists or jacks, then the is the issue of how to quickly & easily secure these large battery packs...
Agreed. A helpful exercise is to ask them to keep a log for the first 30 days. Ive always found incredibly useful information in there.
It's not necessarily either steal or innovated a new way right? People don't have to steal ideas to invent the circle-shaped wheel.
There’s no surprise here is there?

We, as a society, poison pretty much everything as a standard part of the agricultural process.

The outcome -the goal - of that is of course, death of vast numbers of insects.

Mission accomplished. It’s a success story, strangely.

The only thing that seems weird to me is how society was so easily convinced that soaking all our food in poison is OK and not a problem all good thumbs up. That’s really weird.
I think you mean SARPBC (Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars), released in 2008.

Practically the same game, and the only ones in the genre.

Battle Cars was a racing game akin to Mario Kart i believe.
We have two countrywide address encoding systems that encode the address as a strict hierarchy, but both fail to encode the legal address of one of our customers, which is something like "1500m down the dirt road starting at the 27th km of the TownFoo-TownBar road". No house number, no street name, no town name.

As you say the metric system makes it less egregious, but it also happens in the EU that one item will be shown as €/100g and another as €/kg
Papers, please, and that dragon, cancer are both types of games that did not exist before.

Probably there's a few more indie games that I am not aware of.

If you want to stick to mainstream games only, even then there is real innovation. E.g. calling Super Mario Odyssee a rehashing of Mario Galaxy does it a misservice (in my view).
You should also add that the price label is the final price, i.e. including taxes.
> a bunch of kids trying to avoid being systematically bullied

The author thinks the Elite Universities are the center of the world and defines what happends everywhere else. They aren't and they don't. There isn't anything anymore which is "the center of everything".

If this was only about rich people at Yale, Harvard, etc, then it would be a storm in a glass of water. It would have no consequence in most universities.

But we see the dysfunction at many universities in the western world. A good explanation would explain why this also happends in many other places.
Angband gets very repetitive

One of my favourite roguelikes is an Angband variant called Sil. It cleverly manages to overcome the door problem in myriad ways:

1) Corridors are dark and the player's light radius is small, so being in a corridor surrounds the player with hidden information at all times.

2) Stairs spawn groups of enemies who travel in a circuitous path before exiting the level by a different set of stairs. Since there are multiple stairs up and down in each level, this creates the sense of being in the middle of an enemy supply line.

3) Enemies communicate with one another and employ group tactics. If enemies stumble upon the player in a corridor, they'll retreat to the safety of an open room and lay siege to the doorway. Additionally, since Sil's levels are full of loops and branches, there is almost always another way in/out of the room where the enemies are; they will send some orcs around behind the player to drive him into the open.

4) Some enemies are territorial (leashed to a pole, as described in the article) while others are aggressive, ignoring group tactics and blindly charging at the player. All of the enemy behaviour types concord perfectly with the creatures that employ them. Spiders, wights, and dragons are territorial and usually guarding treasure. Trolls, giants, and balrogs are aggressive and will relentlessly pursue the player into danger. Orcs communicate with one another, have scouts all over the place, are cowardly alone but bold in large groups, are attracted to strong leaders such as captains or named uniques, and love to press in on the player as soon as they know he's under attack from behind.

5) The player's stealth score is calculated based on the number of adjacent walls around the player. This makes corridors the best source of concealment (6 adjacent walls), but the concave corners of an open room are almost as good (5 adjacent walls). Of course, with the aforementioned enemy patrols, corridors are a high traffic area whereas the corners of large rooms are low traffic. This creates an unbelievable sense of tension when the player is hiding in the shadowy corner of a room, waiting for the huge orc patrol to pass, hoping none of them will wander into the corner and bump into him.

Of course, none of that would be fair without some positive incentive to fight in the open and Sil provides for that in spades. Your character can learn a number of abilities that let him move and attack at the same time. Combat in Sil gives large penalties to the player's evasion when multiple enemies are adjacent, so the player is further encouraged to keep moving in order to avoid getting surrounded.

All in all, I think Sil is a fantastic roguelike which solves the door problem in an elegant fashion.
I've never understood these tech company's intolerance to 3rd party clients, which are almost always niche or used by the ad-blocker using tech savvy subset of their userbase. Open clients is how most of the internet was built and will continue to be built.

They should spend more time focusing on building their own best-in-class clients themselves. If they're not able to accomplish that for the vast majority of their users it's a sign of a bigger problem than some monetization optimization strategy which will only push people away.

The valuable power users have multiple clients anyway and bring in more regular users (who just use the standard clients) than they're worth individually.
Given that the form factor of this rocket is totally different from SpaceX's reusable hardware, it doesn't seem likely.
That's the story of every city, it does not say how big of an area this tower serviced but I would guess that the area was dense and expensive enough. Also the company that built this went on to merge with Ericsson which managed quite well in the telephony area. A big part was that they managed to deliver telephony subscripions to so many people so fast, Stockholm was way a head of e.g. London (20x) counting telephones per capita. There are several reasons for this the comming population explosion that created the slums you talk about was one.

During the period this tower was needed the population of Stockholm more than doubled so how the slums where distributed will most probably have changed during this time.

Coherent (early Unix competitor operating system)
The active ingredient is double-stranded RNA, which we all consume every day (from viruses in fruit and veges), so no issues for human health via ingestion pathway.

A poorly designed dsRNA that has too much homology to a gene of a related beneficial species could impact it if it took up the dsRNA. dsRNA doesn't hang around in the environment, so the beneficial organism would have to be there at the time of spraying. For these reason, frameworks are being put in place to ensure due diligence is done in the design phase.

Like any pesticide, what the active ingredient is applied with may not be terribly nice (surfactants and the like). That's a case-by-case thing, which is hard to generalize.
Parallel reinvention happens all the time. Consider steam engines, web browsers. Once a way has been found to do the thing, it's surprisingly straightforward to redo the thing.

Your study supports my point and harms yours. From your study:

Lower income and educational attainment was associated with more sleep complaints. Employment was associated with less sleep complaints and unemployment with more.

Rates of sleep complaints in African-American, Hispanic/Latino and Asian/Other groups were similar to Whites. Lower socioeconomic status was associated with higher rates of sleep complaint.
> Today people defend 'basically harmless stuff like:

I'm sure there are people (where n > 1) in the world who defend that, but here in The Netherlands this is not OK except for Jewish boy circumcision. Which is in a different league than the removal of the clitoris.

Physical punishment of children went from 'normal' before 1970 to 'not acceptable' throughout 1980 and 1990. It is now 'very much not acceptable'. In fact, I'd argue this one, like smoking, fits the 'creeping normality' definition although keep in mind I talk about The Netherlands only. I do not know how this developed throughout the rest of the world.

>>>Reckless driving like this consistently kills innocent people and most drivers who do this eventually end up losing their license or ending up in jail.

Citation needed. I can't even recall the last time street racing in this part of Japan killed anyone, let alone anyone outside the vehicle itself. The combination of more stringent licensing requirements, bi-annual vehicle inspections, and overall cost all combine to keep most sports cars out of the hands of all but the most dedicated drivers. Fatal mistakes are rare here. Accidents are usually drifting-related on secluded mountain roads.
Except in love, of course.
I've also had inexplicable password issues with ebay like you mention above - paypal not that I can recall.
The PC gaming crowd is probably still more like that, compared to console gamers. Most AAA games seem to be made for consoles and ported to PC... Indies often start on PC and are later ported to consoles if they are successful.
Even then it's rarely the actual goal of the policy either. It's usually a side effect that gets packed in to wider reductions. "Trickle down" as a concept is a political invention.

The disconnect between real-life economics and policy isn't limited to just that either. Just like how all the private equity businesses were the first to be brought in front of congress immediately after the 2008 financial crisis because everyone wanted to blame them (they wanted to blame "neo" Gordon Gekko corporate raiders for all the problems, but quickly discovered all the LBO firms out-performed the market and had invested in companies which would have stagnated or died otherwise). Yet they ended up being the few firms who could had the LBO capital market not existed). In the end much of the capital for the bailouts the Obama administration used came from the same group they wanted to blame.

Then a bunch of new rules got put in place which only solidifier the stranglehold the top-5 banks had as the smaller banks could never have survived had they met the capital and oversight requirements.

I guess it is similar to date ordering. Sweden has been using yyyy-mm-dd partly because it's easier to sort on dates. Even before the computers, on official documents for archives. Having Street addresses with the house number last also makes sense, first I want to find the right street, then I can start searching for the house number and last the apartment.
Sure. Firstly and most importantly Time's Arrow applies. A promise kept in the past is not a promise kept in the future.

If Signal has kept their promise so far then all of the messages I have already sent were EtoE encrypted and they never had any way to see those messages, indeed if me and my co-conspirators all destroy our devices the messages simply cease to exist altogether. If tomorrow Signal breaks their promise, that promise was already kept in the past and can't be undone, Signal can't read messages that no longer exist.

If Telegram kept their promise that's permanently conditional, they still have the data, and only their continuing promise not to look at it keeps it safe. Tomorrow they can break the promise and previous messages are now available, but you can't retrospectively stop having sent the messages in the past.

Secondly, as I wrote here recently on another topic: Only impossible things don't happen, everything else is fair game. In choosing to do EtoE Signal gets to make certain things _impossible_ whereas Telegram just promises not to do them. This means those things might happen by accident, or a bad guy might do them and I'm sure Telegram would be very apologetic (if anybody found out) but it couldn't undo them.

Thirdly: Signal actually publishes the software component that behave the way they say it does. Reproducible builds are tricky (as a general problem in modern software) but Signal does a pretty good job of convincing you that the binaries you can download are just the code you can see, built for your platform. So then either they need to not only break the promise but also hide the broken promise in the code, or they need to break the promise AND hide the build difference. It's just easier to keep the promise.

> If you had claimed “in Sweden, cars have 4 wheels”

1. This is a dishonest comparison, because cars have 4 wheels by definition, while price labeling is very much differentiated across the globe.

2. Even if Sweden was one of only five countries in the world where cars have 4 wheels, saying "in Sweden, cars have 4 wheels" is still not the same thing as saying "Sweden is special, we have cars with four wheels, I bet no other countries do". The fact that you interpret it more as the latter says more about your own bias than what is stated in the text.

Those were tragic unwanted accidents. But look at the fall and collapse of Western Rome, Spanish Empire and Chinese Dynasties, a foreign power will help to break down our stability in less effective regions and forcing them fight against each others promoting perpetual inequality. Look at the Balcanes or the breakdown of any large enough empire which achieved unity for long enough.

Looking at the "Delay" column in the release tables in Wikipedia, it appears that it's CentOS7 releases that have longer delays, the CentOS6 delays haven't changed in recent years (and there's nothing like the huge delays in 2011). Possibly because there are more packages being updated in 7?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS

Package search is on https://git.centos.org/

For example, libvirt is at version 4.5 in CentOS 7.6, while CentOS 7.0 shipped with version 1.1:

Whereas in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, it's at version 4.0:
