Assuming you mean group SMS: I suspect not, since it seems to be using mostly the same stack as the Librem 5, and that doesn't seem to yet. (This is my dealbreaker too; I have a PinePhone sitting next to me running Ubuntu Touch, but I won't be able to use it as my daily driver until that works.)

I've been using SponsorBlock since the last time you posted about it! It's amazing! It works for damn near any YouTube video I wanna watch, it works without any intervention, and it lets me skip past the annoying RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS advertisements.

If you keep posting about this it'll very quickly become popular, and eventually YouTube will obfuscate their code to prevent this extension from working.
I find this disturbing, a corruption of the system, despite the disclosure, and despite that I personally like to read SEC filings.

Just telling people something is a scam is not enough, when the action of allowing it to go on implies that it must not be.

It's like, suppose you go to the hardware store and you buy a rake. And on it there is a label with the standard warning "this contains substances known to the state of California to cause cancer, etc.". So you buy it, take it home, and a month later you die horribly because it was radioactive or something.

You can argue about the percentage of guilt that accrues to the manufacturer, the store, the California lawmakers, etc. But it's not right to blame the victim, because when people get conflicting information, they have to disregard some of it, and you can't consistently go against the herd in such situations. It's necessary to have a level of trust that underpins the explicit language and gaming of rules that people engage in.

I know not to buy stock in bankrupt companies, but I don't think I'd be as dumb as the stereotype of Robinhood investors if I was naive enough to think, "well, they say it's worthless, but if the SEC allows it, it must not be a complete scam" and bought it anyway.

> I’ve been told that someone in leadership described me as being too “black and white” in this area, but I consider myself both pragmatic and flexible to alternative ideas.

When I've seen responses like that in the past, it's often somebody who just doesn't want to listen to any complaints, for various reasons. I recommend a quieter approach, where you don't tell anyone what you really think about the problems, but just wait for an opportune moment to ask "can we do X for Y?" in a public forum. That way you can't be ignored, you aren't complaining at all, and somebody else can later take credit for implementing your idea, without them having to admit that they were the cause of the problem to begin with.

True, that's the other end of the spectrum. I haven't experienced that one, though.
Insurance companies, depending on the company and the line of business, will aim to make both an underwriting profit and an investment profit.

If it is a particularly high premium line, and especially if there is a lot of competition, it's more likely that the underwriting profit will be kept minimal or even negative, as the investment profit is so much more lucrative. This is common in the car insurance lines of business, for example.

For retail insurers there are a lot of moving parts here, and they will often not hold much of the final risk, so can't make money from investment anyway. For example, the retailer (sometimes an underwriting agency) may be underwritten by some bigger insurer.

That insurer may have a quota share arrangement with another insurer (I'll take 10% of the risk, you take 90%) with a corresponding premium share.

At each level reinsurance is bought, sometimes on the whole portfolio of risks and sometimes on particular classes of risk or specifc policies, and the costs associated with the reinsurance are priced into the retail premium.

Additionally, when working in an intermediated market with brokers, there are often credit terms of up to 90 days where no payments are made. Anecdotally, it does seem like some brokers do make a large amount of their money on this float.

Adding it all together, there are two main numbers to track from an underwriting profit point of view - your loss ratio (claims incurred / earned premiums, often extended to include projections for future claims and premium for future insured periods) and your combined operating ratio (COR) which includes expenses.

There will be a loss ratio at which a line of business becomes profitable, and final premiums are often calculated by taking the expected losses and grossing up by this loss ratio. For individual accounts it might literally be that simple - "over the last 5 years this account has averaged claims of $100,000 a year, we need a 60% loss ratio so the premium should be $166,667." If there are extra reinsurance costs you might add those, and you might also add a loading for large infrequent losses that aren't captured in your underlying loss ratio (and another loading for catastrophes, a level above that).

The combined ratio needs to be under 100% to be 'underwriting profitable'. I've seen CORs as high as 105-110%, but typically those portfolios were being very closely monitored/remediated/exited. If there is a strong market the COR is allowed to drift higher, but when the market tightens so does the COR.
Freedom of association is a human right. However, for example, operating a corporation is not.
The Problem of Scale and the Case for Cybernetic Communism [pdf]

Then I have at least two question: 1) how much proof should I collect that someone is a nazi before I punch them? 2) how much should I believe other's people claim that someone is a nazi?

Or is it a matter of court? is it a crime to be a nazi or is it simply a punchable offense? Is there an official agency that labels nazis? Or maybe it is a matter of activism, I can punch them while they are declaring nazi ideologies but not in their off-time. What do I do if they change the name of their ideology?

Is there a continuum between nazi and non-nazi? should the punch also have a continuum or is there a cut-off point?

Also how many punches is being a nazi worth? This last one is relevant after a dozen or so if they are still a nazi my hand is going to hurt... or maybe... do I become a nazi if I stop punching nazis?

I in part apologize for the condescending tone. But I consider this very important. I am not against making nazism illegal[1] but you are literally proposing violence as a completely normal form of advocacy.

To me you are literally the most dangerous person in term of risk of an authoritarian regime. Again, you are literally saying that violence against political opponents, and not rule of laws, is the obviously correct and moral choice.

[1] it is so in Germany and it makes sense

PS: I admit I have discarded at least another comparatively more reasonable option. You might mean to say that puching nazis is a form of civil disobedience; as a form of activism to say that nazism should be made illegal. This is slightly less nightmarish, but still I don't understan how _starting_ violence in the streets became the moderate option.
What makes this even more bonkers to me is this is from something most non-tech people haven’t even heard of.
>But I think the larger call is saying that ICE as it currently is conceived as a paramilitary-style organization is not the way control the border and manage immigration.

This seems like what people on the right do with Trump. He'll say some outlandish or indefensible thing on Twitter and pundits will walk it back and lay out some complex argument to support it. It's not convincing in either case. It's the same with abolish the police. The protesters seem to be very clear that's what thy want and people will go to great lengths explaining oh no what they really want is to divert funding to community groups and improve training they don't actually want to abolish the police. Like what? Is anyone stupid enough to believe this stuff?
My wife and I have T-Mobile and so couldn’t call each other... but we could over signal.

You create a Root Self Signed Certificate, and then deploy leaf certs signed by that root to your API.

Then deploy your client apps with the certificate of your self signed root.

Assuming that your root is safe, no attacker will be able to generate a cert that will be accepted by your client.
I Built a Decision Support Tool for Covid-19 Risk
So lets take one example lets say you have a late night restaurant devoted to providing drivers who would possibly drive drunk a place to sober up and people who are homeless a hot breakfast. Let's call this place "Waffle House". How exactly would those people become police as currently constituted. How exactly would an organization dedicated to providing satisfying justice without prisons become the police as currently constituted? The police as currently created barely solve crimes(30% clear rates) and don't really appear to be interested in justice. You seem to think its hard to imagine an organization dedicated to public safety that's not like them. They're so bad at it I ask the other question how could an organization dedicated to public safety ever be like the police.
> Not everyone can directly make the changes that will stop police from killing black people

They can do exactly what they're doing with regard to this issue, spread awareness, except with regard to issues that actually affect the lives and outcomes of black people, not imaginary problems that don't affect black people in the least.

> If this microaggression can be removed, why shouldn’t it?

The presence of certain words outside of a racial context isn't a microaggression. Microaggressions are subtly racist behaviors acted out by people that make other people feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, or unwelcome. It's about behavior. However, I am not arguing it shouldn't change, I'm saying that now is the worst time to bring up this issue, it's just sapping the attention from the issue of police violence and systemic racism.
In Adobe's defense, they kinda did try that: AS3 was supposed to become JS2/ES4 and they also released a bunch of somewhat-useful documentation on the SWF file format. They even released AVM2 as free software (called "Tamarin") with the idea that Firefox would replace SpiderMonkey with it. The web community stuck it's nose up at ES4 and the SWF documentation was kind of half-assed.

Adobe's idea at the time of the HTML5 transition was that they were going to completely replace Flash with the Edge Suite, while Flash Player became an expensive-to-license compilation target for Unity. Hence, the whole "premium licensing" debacle that smacked of "we don't know who our customers are, but some of them aren't using Creative Suite, so let's try and charge them lots of money for things the web can already do".

I’ve got this case and it works pretty great. 5 3.5 hot swap drives.

Although the drives come out the left side. So you would need to access that without moving the case for true hot swap.
They could have overshadowed the documents web. No need to extend text/html, let user agent run application/flash.

There would be causalities - accessibility, responsive design, ad block (cosmetic and network), personalization (stylus). Yet with still unmatched creativity, maybe with stronger case against native applications (like today fuchsia). World would be different and we would never know exactly how.

> But to expect that a _federal agency_ will be denied service from a private entity

This is easy to fix: just exclude Microsoft from participation in any federal tenders. Either you do business with all of the federal government, or you don't. It's pretty straightforward. Right now, the situation is pretty absurd: Microsoft will sell dual use tech to China (which, let me remind you, runs concentration camps for Muslims), and to countries which literally throw gay people off the roofs, but US federal law enforcement is somehow not quite good enough to deal with. This is extreme hypocrisy, but it's pretty typical overall. I would encourage Microsoft to be consistent, and sever its business ties with countries where the human rights are not respected at least to the extent they are in the United States.
I find that completely absurd. I work at a large bank. If my employer provides services to ICE am I practicing politics by showing up to work? Is my employer practicing politics by providing loans at the standard rate and standard anti-discriminatory process equally to all applicants? To be free of politics should my employer stop providing loans to everybody?

At what point does this make sense in an objectively measurable way?
I hear that. Months from now would be better than now if as you say it derails better and more urgent conversations.
This is reaching a new level of silly. Blacklist does not have its origin in race. This is what happens when people have no knowledge of history but want virtue signalling to feel good.

The whole getting rid of the master / slave for engineering concepts isn't something I can agree with but I can at least understand it as without context someone may be confused about the reference.

But blacklist/whitelist... Has not, will not, is not a racial thing. The allow/deny list is just as bad because we're discriminating and segregating things! How dare we make choices and separate things that we consider good and things we consider bad. Maybe the lists should just be done away with.

This doesn't even account for the fact that all of this is myopic American centric culturalization of world wide technical terms. We want to feel good about being culturally sensitive but we're not looking at how cultures feel about this world wide.
Or more likely: push people into whatsapp and voip
For a running restaurant, sure.

The issue is that the banks will pretty much provide loans for anything with consistent cashflow. This includes tech companies.

The problem is getting investment when you have no cashflow.
Yeah! I've started to look some WebGPU compute applications with other students in my group and I think there could be some cool use cases, like the ones you mention. It sounds a bit odd, but yeah WebGPU on native (by directly using Dawn, or wgpu-rs) is actually pretty compelling as a cross-platform low-level graphics API.

What's really cool is that compute and rendering using WebGPU can get near-native level performance. So a lot of scientific applications (which typically rely on more FLOPs/parallel processing) can be implemented in WebGPU compute without sacrificing much performance. I'm not sure how many simulations would be ported to WebGPU, since they usually end up targeting large scale HPC systems and CUDA, but for visualization applications I think the use case is pretty compelling, especially for portability and ease of distribution. On the compute side, I implemented a data-parallel Marching Cubes example: https://github.com/Twinklebear/webgpu-experiments , and found the performance is on par with my native Vulkan version. You can try it out here: https://www.willusher.io/webgpu-experiments/marching_cubes.h... . There is a pretty high first-run overhead, but try moving the slider around some to see the extraction performance after that. WebGPU for parallel compute, combined with WebASM for serial code (or just easily porting older native libs), will make the browser a lot more capable for compute heavy applications. You could also combine these more capable browser clients with a remote compute server, where the server can do some heavier processing while the client can do medium scale stuff to reduce latency or work on representative subsets of the data.

As for AI, people have started looking at compiling ML tools to WebGPU + WebASM: https://tvm.apache.org/2020/05/14/compiling-machine-learning... with nice results, also getting to near-native GPU performance.
I like the choice of user name
It doesn't seem like a very interesting argument to have on HN, though. People don't get that when "protesting" doesn't work (also "advocating", and "voting”), what's left is essentially "rioting." This is in spite of the fact that people here love the 4 boxes of democracy: the soap box, ballot box, jury box, and ammo box. I've got news for you: if you're reaching for the ammo box, you're "rioting."
What about https://www.random.org/? Why even use a PRNG if you can have the real thing?
Matches my experience as well. It was a great language for experimenting with UI design (itemrenderers anyone?). It’s a bitter pill for me swallow to have to watch it fade away.
That advice is OKish if you only ever want to be a mediocre employee clocking in to get your wages.

I think you need to be far more proactive in training your mind if you want to become a founder [edit: of a successful business], or move into more responsible roles, or even just to get satisfaction from shipping great software.
The assumed depth is the diameter of Earth. That's where the 10^-7 figure comes in. Look at eq. (1). It's dividing the initial energy (1,000 TeV, or 10^15) by the diameter of Earth (10^-7) The beam energy of 1000TeV is chosen to "have approximately single interaction before the neutrino beam hits the bomb". The mechanism is for a neutrino to interact with the Earth a few meters before the bomb, creating a hadron shower that does the real work.

If you look at the equations, they're sub-scripting "E" with "dep", meaning deposited. The figure is arrived at after accounting for the 1/10^7 probability that a given neutrino in the beam actually interacts in the right zone of soil.

> The range of the neutrino is 10^7 meters and the effective neutrino interaction is restricted within a few meters away from the bomb because of the interaction range of the hadrons.

Which I'm reading as: "we're going to lose the vast majority of this energy in the Earth itself, so we need to choose an initial power level so that, by the time the beam is interacting with the dirt just under the bomb, it's delivering ≈ 1kW of power."
Thanks! Luke from TerminusDB here. We think a graph is the best way to approach a graphy problem!

We like Prolog for Querying, constraint checking and user interaction. Rust is great for low-level data manipulation. Prolog is a superpower - very simple but very powerful, but quite far removed from the hardware and uses abstractions not under our control so not good at nitty-gritty bit manipulation. We like Rust as a low-level memory-safe language (and it has a great community).

Much more background on why we made those choices: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22867767
Yeah, lots. Back in my primary school days, 3 of us had a pirated copy of Adobe Flash, met up, and tried to learn actionscript and animation after school.
> I think the idea here was simply to use the excess energy to stock up on potable water, which people could drink later, rather than to also use it for pumped storage.

If it was a reasonable and profitable use of energy we would already be doing it, but we're not because its ruinously expensive. You also run into storage issues (how much of your excess power is being evaporated from the surface of your storage reservoir? The longer you hold your potable water the more you throw away). You also need to consider what you're going to do with the highly saline byproduct of any such process.

There's nothing wrong with purifying water but its very energy intensive and already something we do. Adding more expensive potable water from excess energy generation doesn't make much sense.
I had a (thankfully) short stint there as part of an organizational mess that swept me up a few years ago: it was a very painful experience. Clearcase, old undocumented code that you were not allowed to reformat because it would generate too many diffs, database as a message bus, etc. The day I left was one of my happiest ones that year.
Flash became a mobile web non-citizen when the first iPhone released, back in 2008 when Flash was still popular enough for people to complain about it not being on the iPhone rather than to be happy that it was gone. "Thoughts on Flash" was published a few years later, in 2011, when Adobe wanted to add iOS app export to Flash - Apple responded by banning literally all third-party development tools. It was definitely a kick in the teeth to Adobe's attempts to pivot the product.
From the website, it looks like development stopped in 2016.

I read some of the papers on Minix3, and the Loris storage stack. From the bits I understood, it looks pretty interesting.
