These are called in-line encryption systems. They're generally not apps, but separate devices with automated ciphertext transmission. I've been working on something that does this http://github.com/maqp/tfc and that can be plugged to almost any transport system with relative ease. The current design is using v3 onion services for each endpoint.

I am unsure you can even rely on analyst estimates to determine what investors are expecting from FB/Google when they report earnings soon. Will anyone be surprised if FB comes out and say they will experience a 20% decline in revenue in Q2?

You can already code "native" iOS apps in React Native if you're so inclined. I can't really see a difference between devs coding against native iOS APIs in the browser that I end up having to download in order to use offline vs downloading apps coded against iOS API's downloaded natively from the app store.
Wow, how did they decide between lay off and furlough?
I agree--I very strongly recommend this course. I binged Dan Boneh's lectures on a late Friday night like I was watching Netflix. I'm serious.
The issue is what things default to. If you have to figure out if you need to subscribe to X or not, it's a meeting, get stakeholders, input, sign off etc all while you have other demands on your time. If you don't get through with it and figure it out, then that service goes to the default - i.e you keep subscribing.

On the other hand, if you cancel everything, then the default will be off. Essential services will require you to go through the hoops again because they are essential.

Yeah, I don't agree with their analysis of Disney+ either. It's as you say, these big corps are trying to claw back revenue that Netflix has been enjoying.

I doubt the reason Disney really went into Disney+ was to enhance the Disney magic experience or whatever. Maybe if Walt were still alive. It seems more likely that Disney did the cost/benefit analysis and decided that Netflix subscriptions were not zero sum and that parents would definitely pay for another subscription for Frozen and other shows.
If something is just your personal, no-pressure, hobby project, maybe don't convince people to implement it in production?
> This is absolutely bonkers. People still eat. People will eat in the future. There will be corporate locations and events that will need catering in the future.

I think you're missing the point. People who go into offices will still eat, sure. But a startup focusing on corporate catering is betting on a sizable and specific market that's built around in-person work and relatively well-off companies being so flush with cash and desperate to hire that they provide catered meals.

That could well come back. But it could well end up being seen as just a crazy artifact of tech boom times, a perk that died during a global pandemic, multi-year recession, and subsequent reallocation of capital to other sectors that don't depend as much on keeping a small number of used-to-comfort workers happy.

This looks like data for the public network markets. In-house and larger corporations don't quantify on actual ad revenue. Rather, they find any sale by an individual that saw and ad and say that a portion of the sale is attributed to advertising. This is the "attribution" model, which is pure hand waving.

I think the 2000's were a bust for most people. It was the proverbial lost decade. We had the dot-com crash, followed by 9/11, a short recovery, then the GFC a few short years later. It wasn't until 2013 or so that things got back to positive. If you adjust for inflation, it's even worse. Play around with https://dqydj.com/sp-500-return-calculator/
All true. It's also worth noting that with the recent arrival of Gigabit FTTH throughout the Bay Area (Peninsula and even down to Sunnyvale), typical consumer-grade routers can be the new bottleneck when attached to a real 1Gbps fiber line (for example, even though for the previous cable modem connection it worked great).
I hadn’t heard of that one before.

As a real human story, it would be fascinating. As an abstract philosophical thought experiment, it seems close to worthless. How is it actionable?

Why bother with a thought experiment, when there are real world examples? The book Fixing My Gaze is a great place to start, written by someone whose eyes were out of alignment as a child and only gained true stereoscopic vision as an adult.

I would definitely recommend trying something with JavaScript/HMTL5 videos. Doing anything native has always been decently complicated and there's a lot of setup work involved. If you want to get your toes wet, writing basic filters is fun :)
Fair enough. I missed that near the end. Although I would say that casual reads by colleagues, friends, etc. tend not to be very careful. If it's important you probably need to pay someone.
I've done that recently, and I had many performance issues. I have a long-ish list of very simple components that are in a sorted order. So when I change the value of one, I re-sort the list. I was hoping React would only rerender the changed items (remove old, insert new). But no, it rerenders the whole list, which takes 500ms. I made sure object references in the list stay the same, that didn't help.

I can implement this thing in vanilla JS, and it would not take more than a few milliseconds. React is cool, but so damn hard to optimize.

Well you actually very probably do need PostGIS if you're doing real spatial analysis.

PostgreSQL geometry field are just that, 2D geometries, on a plane, in no particular projection system.

Spatial geometries are relative to a projection system. Try to "draw" a square with GPS coordinate and project it in your local official projection reference, you'll probably not get a squared.

Now, if you don't need precision, feel free to use geometries. But be very aware of the trade off you're making. The article, in my opinion, dismisses them a little too fast.

Restricting voting in this case is clearly meant as restricting voting of (legally aged) demographics that tend to skew Democrat. There's a reason Republican politicians are more likely to oppose mail-in voting even though it's a logical thing to implement in every state. We're not talking about letting dogs vote.

If we want this to be a more representative republic, we should make voting as easy as possible for everyone. So yes, it's restricting voting in this manner is pretty evil.

rsync is right - I missed the ambiguity in my sentence.
Most of those are proxies for the underlying theological differences, though.

For example, with the fingers, the original two-finger crossing gesture was said to represent the dual but inseparable nature of Christ. This is particularly important for Christianity, because of the heavy debates on christology in the early centuries of the Church resulting in several major schisms. I mean, even the Nicene creed - which is still the standard creed for most major Christian denominations - specifically addresses it.

(And since the Oriental Orthodox churches produced by those schisms never went away, neither did the importance of emphasizing the theological differences with them. So the accusation of monophysitism was still a serious business especially in the wider Orthodox community.)

The official explanation was that three fingers stood for the Trinity - but non-trinitarian Christian denominations were already so obscure at that point, it was seen kinda like declaring that water is wet, i.e. not controversial at all. Thus, doing away with two fingers and replacing it with three, sounded to many believers like the Church leaders were suddenly reluctant to criticize monophysitism. From which there's an obvious step to believing that the Church leaders are secretly harboring that heresy themselves.
> I think that's technically incorrect. The BND (and it's military sibling MAD) are mostly concerned with foreign intelligence, while the Stasi was mostly used for internal surveillance.

Of course they are. That's why they are happy to work with NSA which get everything that is routed through frankfurt.

>The subdivision HVA inside the Stasi would be the equivalent to the BND, while the larger and infamous internal surveillance of the Stasi is now in the responsibility of the Verfassungsschutz.

> To that end, I'd like a view where the focus is the art itself.

This is something we've been trying to figure out! If you have an account, you can view this: https://artinres.com/recommendations -- you're randomly shown one work at a time and you can like, dislike or skip. We use the data to recommend you additional artworks, and soon we're going to roll out a digest / news feed of new recommendations for users.

> I don't really know what I'm looking for in art. I just know some things I like, but probably not all. I love Monet and other impressionist painters, but I also love old Japanese woodblock prints like the great wave. I'm also a huge fan of cubism and I can't get enough of art nouveau. I'm not a huge fan of abstract art, but I like some. I love evocative photography, especially in black and white. I feel like maybe my taste profile fits a multi-spoke radar chart, where each data point is a relative preference rather than a binary I like this or that type tick box filter.

I'm very much with you on this. In my experience, taste has less to do with discrete, obviously-nameable qualities like a certain color or subject matter, and much more to do with the way the parts fit together to make a cohesive yet surprising whole. That said, we had to start somewhere -- and the filters have been pretty useful to a portion of our users.

Like you mentioned, as more people use the site, we're building up the ability to recommend art to people and we anticipate that being a rewarding way to discover new art.

Also, since you're apparently working for or affiliated with VPN providers[1], you might want to be more transparent about possible vested interests.

I don't agree with that categorization of water issues in CA, but that's off topic.

And having proportional seating in the House isn't particularly meaningful, when it takes both the Senate and the Presidency to drive policy. Dirt doesn't vote, and frankly I don't see any argument for less than proportional representation that isn't predicated on the notion that some people are more equal than others. Any weighting of the voices can be done in the debate forum, but at the ballot box the only fair way to distribute power is equally. That goes for all levels of our representative democracy.

No system is perfect, it's just about making one that's more perfect. And I would strongly argue that our bicameral government designed by slave owners 250 years ago has both been continuously eroded (they never planned for the Executive and Congress to be in cahoots!), and could be drastically improved by expanding on the 9th/10th amendments and being reformed into a unicameral legislature and abolishing the electoral college.

> My point is this- qualia as a phenomena exists. Even if I think a red thing is blue, I am still experiencing some color and the experiencing itself- aside from its accuracy- is what needs explaining

Dennett wouldn't deny that either. He would simply say that we have no reason to think the qualitative experience of our perceptions are anything other than a cognitive trick with a functional purpose. Certainly how this trick works should absolutely be explained, and I don't think any materialist would deny that.
Interesting. I wonder why there's such a difference between Nvidia Pytorch benchmark and Exxact results: Nvidia is more than twice faster for single GPU. V100 should only be ~10% faster than Quadro 8000. Either Exxact is incompetent, or Nvidia has some special sauce.

I feel like someone who knows more about how DVDs work would be better equipped to do so. It was really weird having to look up this stuff though, reading dead forums from 2003 explaining how to do all this stuff to edit menu's within DVDs with obviously smart people who really clearly knew a lot about a thing where there's absolutely no value in knowing how it works anymore, they've probably forgotten themselves...
Then discovering the tech they were using at the time is still the exact same tech (right down the versions in some cases) you've to use to try and read these files.

If I could stabilise it a bit more I'd like to make a little gallery of DVD menus. The hardest part is the tedious recording of timestamps at that stage. That and maybe a talk on the value of doing deliberately worthless side projects...

Agree completely.

There's been this naive bit of internet "wisdom" running about assuming plants and planes are the only assets in the world. That after all is said and done, and bankruptcies re-assign that capital, the world can continue as before, with ownership only shuffled.

That isn't how modern economies work. Tremendous capital is in the intangible nature of firms. Apple, Tesla, SpaceX and your neighborhood restaurant are worth less in parts than as a whole.

In a free market, companies have little problem assembling and de-assembling themselves via mergers, buyouts, spinoffs, startups, etc. Bailing out companies is an implicit endorsement of the current structure of that industry, which, 11 years into a bull market, may be far from its natural or optimal state. For example, bailing out US airlines implicitly endorses the 3-major system, as opposed to 6 (Continental, US Airways, Northwest) from a decade or so ago -- a time which didn't include $200 change fees, 10-wide 777's, "basic economy", etc.

Why should the gov't reward fiscal irresponsibility (stock buybacks) AND a terrible airline product (and thirdly, maintain airlines' negotiating power over employees), as opposed to a "new normal" which might include some fresh ideas?

I posit that things sucked less back then. Sure, there were some protocols whose owners would break things on purpose, but on the other hand, those times gave us libpurple.

Also, users weren't yet conditioned to expect proprietary chat apps and nothing else back then. Recently, I installed a small family Matrix server, for chatting and sharing photos. I had one heck of a time explaining that the client app (Riot) is named differently from the protocol (Matrix). And I'm glad I did not have to explain why the server software has yet another name (Synapse).

(In the end, I went with comparison to e-mail, which has different clients like Outlook or Thunderbird. That seems to have lit some overhead lightbulbs. :) )
