As much as I agree with your criticism of Signal (my main gripe is enforcing use and verification of phone numbers as identifiers), Telegram is not privacy-focused, despite their marketing and public perception.

* Messages are cleartext w.r.t. the server by default (I'd wager >99.9% of all Telegram chats are sent this way). E2E-encrypted conversations have to be enabled explicitly, are tied to a single device and only available on mobile.

* Encrypted group-chat not possible.

Hell, you might as well use Google or Facebook, the only difference is who's monitoring. Even WhatsApp has more privacy than Telegram.

Of what I tried so far, Keybase is really damn close. Their UX has been improving a lot, multi-device where all are first-class citizens, E2E by default, etc etc. The whole identity-graph thing, server-side being closed source and platform being run by a US-based business are the only things that keep me from trying to onboard everyone I keep in regular touch with. Too bad neither of those things are likely to change anytime soon.

Gmail is somewhat a special case because email services are kinda forced to accept inbound Gmail, even though it's quite a large source of scams and phishing attempts today. But for others, they'll still readily get blacklisted for a little while here and there.

I was thinking about spam as I read the post too, since this is a problem I get to deal with almost daily. Marketo has a terrible signal-to-noise ratio and it can often end up blackholed on my network with nary a user noticing. Sendgrid is my next least-favorite email-as-a-service, and in fact I happened to have this article open in one tab and in another tab I had this morning's automated reports from some of my spam software showing that a pile of inbound messages from Sendgrid had tried to land at a list of nonexistent mailboxes -- someone was rolling through "andy@", "barbara@", "vijay@", "kenneth@", etc.

I have had very little trouble with Mailgun in this regard, so far, but that may only be because the spammers haven't fully adopted them yet.

As a sysadmin on the receiving side, I really loathe these services, they make my job significantly harder and more time consuming than it used to be.
Theoretically, what’s going on behind the scenes shouldn’t matter. However, you could only trust the system to properly implement this extremely intangible technology if you fundamentally trust the organizations involved. Again, how do you know that their representations regarding the currency are true? How do you know that the amount of crypto withheld for the founding organization is fair or won’t overly dilute the network? How do you know there are no backdoors? If the crypto is pegged to another currency/commodity/crypto, how do you know that the peg will work in practice (this is very hard)? How do you know that the organization is actually holding the pegged currency in reserve, like they said they would? Even if the currency is perfect, how do you know that your wallet provider is safe/not inadvertently malicious? What recourse will you have if you get hacked? (none, and if someone says “that’s not fair, Chase can be hacked too” - sure, but that’s less likely, and the U.S. will step in to help, which gets back to my point about institutional backing) Some of these concerns exist with large established banks, but we don’t really care because 1. They have a great history of keeping your assets safe 2. They have the backing of the government. 3. The Federal Reserve is in charge of our monetary system, and whatever beef one may have with them, they are far, far better than a small group of friends who wrote a white paper somewhere.

Don’t forget the massive cost to compensate miners for all the time, electricity, and computing power that they use. If you amortize those costs, they far surpass even Amex’s credit card fees. Also, what’s with the whole >50% control condition? So now I have to worry about a top secret Russian organization with dozens of 160 IQ scientists racing to create a quantum computer that can overwhelm some/all cryptos and bring wealth to the motherland? I’m half-joking, but that’s the kind of technological weirdness that I’m not comfortable with, much less the average person.
Same sort of benefits as, say, union electricians receive, who are also specialized workers who are very in demand in certain markets.

Or, for that matter, doctors, who are frequently members of professional organizations that are unions in all but name.
more shares for everyone! immediate monthly vesting, no 1-year cliffs, refreshers 6 months in woooo! I hear some companies are already like this, but then you have other companies with like only 5% vesting on the first year and no refreshers.

Dunno if this is the startup I'm thinking of, but if it is, I'd attribute the exit entirely to the VC dude who took it over who obviously knew what he was doing. The founder-CEO was great at math, but it didn't look so good otherwise.
The same things as any other union? Improved working conditions (e.g. hours), protecting employees from abuses, and maintaining fair pay & benefits.

Unions as only a working class institution is mostly a US historic artifact. Other countries have unions in highly specialized and in-demand industries too.
> One day we will have one big union.

The strength of labor unions in Europe is drawn in large part due to the fact that there are a multiplicity of unions representing workers for the same companies, and workers can choose who they want to represent them.

That's not the case for labor unions in the US.

Because they want to I guess.

As for why they want to one obvious reason might be that the saw potential to improve it.

Kind of a weird comment, but honestly I think these are the best reasons for why a volunteer driven open source project should do anything to their ux.
This is exactly my point, it is a category error in the worst sense as it's creating a category "AI company" that would be charitably described as poorly defined.

While I agree that checking source code and running software is relatively easier than running experiments, there's more to science than experiments. Many wrong things in science are even easier to identify than the "easy" case you identify, but you still don't see them checked. In fact, the example I gave was for a math error that should be much easier to check than looking at someone's software or source code. All you needed to do was go through the claimed derivation to see that something was off. No fancy math was involved either, just algebra. I think problems like this are much more common than is appreciated.
Now its getting really interesting: In the end you have to compare pricing for a vCore (which is a thread on a cpu) with per-thread performance on AMD vs. Intel.

Lex is on HN and from a prior thread [1], seems very thoughtful and receptive to constructive feedback. While I've only recently started watching his interviews, I think that reflects one of his main strengths as an interviewer--it seems he thinks both broadly and deeply about AI, physics, and a wide range of interesting topics, which is no small feat. Of course, I'm in awe of his guest list too--kudos to him for building this series. Though I've only seen a few so far, I do sort of share the feeling that the questions can tend toward too general, at least at the outset of the interviews. Like a slow-starting book, this sometimes makes it difficult for me to get hooked right away. But I think this reflects my personal preferences, and many others may prefer his style. In any case, I imagine it takes a tremendous amount of work to run something like this, and there are some great exchanges with world-class guests. It's amazing that everyone has access to interview series like this. On that note, thanks for the tip about Sean Carroll's podcast, I'll check it out.

I think the main difference between AI and traditional software is that the latter is actually useful in the real world.

The place where AI has had the most impact is image recognition—and that's cool, but that's a very small part of what we use computers for. As someone who spends almost every waking hour in front a computer, I don't think I use any software that employs AI for any useful purpose except maybe search engines—and I'm pretty sure that they were a lot better before they used AI. GPT-2 is neat, but there's literally no circumstance under which I would want to use GPT-2-generated text for anything except experiments or toys. And while I'm sure Google makes good use of AI for spying on people and recommending YouTube videos to turn my brother into a nazi, I'd much prefer if they didn't do that.
I scrolled and even turned off all my blockers just in case it was accidentally blocked. Couldn't believe it.
I think this is a good observation. One thing I’ve been thinking about is probabilistically evaluating traditional software. Every un-caught exception, for example, is usually a false negative when evaluating “did the code correctly handle the input?”

Not that ML code is bug-free. But it seems like most traditional software is probabilistically correct, despite not being thought of that way.

One thing I've always wondered is who the heck is Martin Fowler and why does he have such a following?
Lots of third party implementations will take a few % off your bottom line. That's the main one.

There's a couple of other points here as well:

- If you do enough volume, you're able to negotiate the fee with the payment processor, we've done this successfully. If you outsource, that negotiation is the third parties margin.

- I'm not sure if this is true for third parties, but if they wrap up all your payouts in your native currency (EG GBP£), you lose money on forex. We try our best to have all our EUR and USD sales land in their respective currency accounts, then convert them with low cost services such as transferwise which has saved us a lot of money in the long run.

Saving on your forex and having no third party processor fees, I think in some instances you could be saving in the region of £40,000 to £80,000 per £1mm of sales.

We also couldn't find a third party implementation that would allow us to bill for our product, varied by country, amount, currency AND billing frequency. This fine tuned control can have real benefit, for example we noticed in Ukraine we had high traffic but no sales - by introducing a low monthly UAH billing option we started to grow sales in this region.

Other third party implementations won't handle VAT properly or comprehensively which can create more of an accounting burden, or round VAT transactions unfavourably (size of that benefit is irrelevant to very small obviously depending on volume of transactions!) This gap is being slowly filled from what I've been seeing though.

Using a third party solution for SaaS will always have some level of disconnect, it just feels nicer for the customer when it's all integrated seamlessly. One example being you have full control over branding and distribution of invoices/receipts etc.
You seem to be confidently supporting a case that this is an impossible structure because only the rich would be allowed to speak. You don't seem to be making any distinction between the situation the club would be in from the situation that individuals are currently in.

The club being liable is no different from an individual being liable, which is the current situation, other than that the club has the ability to dissolve. Again, if libel law is broken, fix it. Somehow your alternative to the unthinkable outcome of only the rich being able to speak is to exclusively immunize the rich from the consequences of speech that they have direct and complete control over.
So?

If only 1 in 10 throwaway scripts survives, that can easily cost more in the long run than writing all 10 scripts in a sustainable way.

The open secret is that you almost always have time to do it properly. Doing it properly doesn't take that much more time, and most deadlines are self-imposed and artificial.

EDIT: Time isn't actually the most important cost. Not my code, but a coworker's throwaway script where he thought, "We'll just log this to a file for now" filled up a production DB server with log entries and took down a high-traffic e-commerce site for 6 hours. That easily cost more money than an entire career's worth of "doing it properly". There were obviously multiple mistakes that allowed that to happen, but removing the "we'll do this properly later" mistake would have prevented it.

Making things configurable is difficult, because it just explodes the testing space. Maybe that's okay for no-liability, here-be-dragons, use at your own risk open-source software, but for proprietary software that you have to support, it's a clusterfuck to give too many options, because people will inevitably hit on the combinations of them that don't work and then you have to deal with it.
Another huge issue with Signal (and telegram) is that it is tied to your phone number which effectively ties it to you as a person. Which is by default something that raises eyebrow.
I think many people who weren't following his art in real time make the reasonable misunderstanding that his works are code and documentation participating in the vast human project of Open Source Software, since they tended to have names like "_why's (poignant) guide to ruby" and not more descriptive names like "cartoon foxes and how mad I reacted in front of my expanded family that time when my mom said my sister uses cocaine and how she didn't end up killing herself and stuff like that and some ruby code".

I mean, he did write some widely used open source. I think the most popular yaml parser? And an html parser or generator or something that some people were still using but most already moved to another one inspired by it? And there was a community around projects like Camping and Shoes?

So less-involved people judged him like they judged the left-pad guy (which, I mean, was in his full right to remove all his code from npm, but was a bit unkind to the vast community of left-pad dependent day-job developers).

But almost everything he did was 99% art, and his persona shared a lot of things you might not want your boss or mom to read, so I think he should be judged more like Kafka requesting his books to be burned.

Camping and Shoes were also 99% art, and I think nobody who was actively part of their communities was very much hurt and the sentiment in their communities was more of worrying for his well being.

But he let it be known that he's ok and just wanted to quit so they just let him be.

The outrage was mostly from people reading "popular open source developer deletes his github and vanishes" without context.

And yeah, when I was 16 I used to post on HN and for some stupid reason all my comments began with "Hi, I'm <full name>" and it's the most embarrassing thing ever, and Google will never forget...
For me is just mind-blowing that "secure" apps, run only on devices which are basically a security nightmare.

That's not the case because the US Government and industry has spent the last 150 years crushing unions and weakening them. Anti-union propaganda is rampant.

It could be the case in the US. Having a single union is a good place to start.
I'm sure this phrase inspired many, but it's talking about an extreme. What if the disadvantaged are not having a "wretched existence"? Is immense inequality ok then? That's the big question.

I don’t think that the “nerd porn” is as negative as the writer believes. If we compare FOSS to proprietary enterprise software we see how little regard proprietary vendors often pay to what engineers need at the expense of adding check-list features that attract “business” decision makers. The ability to enhance, operate, monitor, test are so much stronger in FOSS products because they are written for engineers by engineer. This can of course be taken too far, but it is, IMO, a reason why FOSS can succeed in displacing proprietary technology.

What were the specific concerns of the Kickstarter employees though? Were they being worked extra hours or being abused by management? Or not getting proper market wages? This is quite a heavy hammer to a set of problems, so I'm curious how bad it really was.

Were they firing people arbitrarily making it a positive thing that the company will now have to jump through hoops to reprimand or get rid of the worst non-productive workers? Or the countless other limitations now imposed on the company from making decisions which benefit the existence of the company itself (and the fact they can even hire/pay for these workers)?

Will it make Kickstarter super cautious about hiring new people with their new extensive protections lowering the amount of people who would benefit from the success of various companies who have unions (and the taxation of these which benefits the wider community)? Turning them into mini-exclusive clubs of workers, while everyone else works p/t or on contract to avoid f/t hires?
I agree but I also disagree, since we have some 1970/80s developers here who teach the attitude "Don't care about details" to younger ones which leads to excessive library usage for even the simplest "problems" (e.g. a team of ours had a JVM crash after they loaded >65K libraries during startup... no one can possibly need so many libraries!) and also to totally stupid design mistakes (e.g a rest service being queried thousand of times per second (open socket, 1 query, close socket) for the same data instead of caching and reusing it in a reasonable context --> massive performance problems).

Thats the maximum "I don't care about details" you can archive and it happens a lot since around 3 years. The older deveopers even talk about "enlighment" and "superior knowledge" to get more young people to their side (it is kinda religious, seriously...)

And there is not re-thinking happening in their heads (fortunately in the heads of the people in charge). All people (including me) who are not a member of this new religion are often excluded from meetings where they discuss the development (or should we say library management?) of new software projects (their current project is failing completely at the moment because those evil details were ignored, popcorn is ready). Critizism is answered with "you're not modern, go away!".

The most "extreme" are not the youngest but the older ones (mostly the 1970s) in their "modern" team.

I'm kinda Gen Z (mid 1993) and I'm seriously concered about this develpoment. I need to understand things in detail and I want to know when and why I need a library especially when you work with critical software as we do. New, modern and fancy often means imature and not battle-tested. New Programming languages don't necessarily solve problems. And writing something on your own is not always wrong, at least when you have good reasons and (most important) the qualification to do it. (remember, in the context of shipping critical software).
