>where it has become not only cool, but sexy and desirable to be a developer.

developers make a lot of money in comparison to society at large, and it is one of the few occupations relatively open to people not already equipped with all the advantages of a middle class lifestyle. This is the fundamental underpinning of the rest.
I don't have a clear reference to point you to but in many CS research fields these number are equally bad. Often code is not even published and is a complete mess when it is.
And stores the user themselves are severly crippled as they can't upgrade or install any apps in the background.
Single page application.

Basically a single page request (that then immediately fetches all the associated JaveScript and CSS) to run the entire app.

It is popular now because its a very small step from that to having a PWA (progressive Web application) which is progressive in the sense that it can be completely cached on the users device, and work with no connection to the Internet.

It also improves page-load performance in connected situations by there being no pages to load (after the first one).

While a solid approach, SPAs can suffer from long initial load times, as well as a tendancy to suffer from complexity that comes with any monolithic large app.
I think you misunderstand what a 1 of N system means here. It means out of N participants, any of them are sufficient to keep the network safe.

In any system, if N out of N participants are down, you are going to have a hard time resetting. Typically it is easiest to reset from this failure in a 1 of N system because you only need one person to recover, and it doesn't matter which person.

I'm oversimplifying a bit, but in most cases a 1 of N system is strictly more robust than a N/2 of N system. (Or any system that requires more than one honest participant).
In India, a similar thing happens for engineering admissions.

People write a national level exam, get individual ranks. No two people get the same rank.

A convention is organized by the education body, where students are called in slots, with the top rankers going first. So they have all the colleges to choose from, all the subjects, etc.

Some % of seats in all colleges are reserved for various categories of students like athletes, physically handicapped, etc. But they are also prioritized based on their rank and an additional score (like a national level badminton winner is prioritized over a state level one, even if the national level player has a worse rank than the state level one).

Apart from this, all colleges are allowed 'management' seats, which are essentially seats that can be purchased. However, even to purchase seats, the student has to get a qualifying rank in the exam.

Costs for the seats are also fixed nationwide, with govt. doling out grants to the colleges for specific indexes, like male / female ratio, etc.
The US government’s concern with ByteDance is, and always has been, a question of national security, not privacy.

But for that matter, privacy laws are stronger in the US too.

"But do we as a society want individuals taking on that much risk? If not, how can we insure against that risk?"

We insure against it by making sure there is always an alternative job they can go to in the local area paying the living wage.

A Job Guarantee.

Then people are encouraged to have a go and take the risk since there is little to lose. The Job Guarantee can be calibrated so that it will pay people setting up businesses their wage for a few months so they can get established - and they have access to that service once every, say, five years to stop Phoenix operations.

And of course having access to an alternative job paying the living wage means businesses have to pay the living wage to get any labour - and set their hours accordingly. No more trying to squeeze out profits by exploiting staff. Instead only businesses with genuine value add survive.

Having a powerful Federal automatic stabiliser isn't just good for the demand level in the economy. It ensures that bad businesses die, and the good ones survive. Just like thinning a forest.
Yes. I would recommend the fast.ai course linked above. It covers all the essentials of deep learning and some classical machine learning. You'll have enough breadth of knowledge to know which areas you'd like to explore in more depth and all the skills you need to build practical projects.
I really fail to see why it being peer reviewed is not a strong point in favor of the project. If blockchains are supposed to be something other tech is supposed to be built on top of, then shouldn't it be build with the help of the scientific method? Breaking things moving fast doesn't work all the time you know ?

Why the past tense? Seems to me like someone is still "sponsoring" racial tensions in the US. This has been in the works for quite some time, and it's paying dividends now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQPsKvG6WMI. The entirety of the US media apparatus, as well as the entirety of the political establishment is happy to play along.
This. It's not the Durov brothers who are moving the field of secure messaging onwards, or talking at conferences. They're complete amateurs surrounded by fanboys who don't understand the very basics of the field, and who think copy-pasting from https://tsf.telegram.org/manuals/e2ee-simple makes them useful as opposed to spreading propaganda.
At least those games don't take over your complete life the way big online games. And don't lead to those playing often overnight, am addicted, am sleep deprived raging gamer situations.
Agree. A system with none of your friends or colleagues on is pointless because there is no one to talk to.

I'll try to be really clear about what Plum Mail is and is not! We haven't done a great job of communicating this thus far.

Plum Mail is NOT an email client.

Plum Mail IS a communication platform using a central server similar to how an instant chat platform works.

Where we differ is that Plum Mail isn't a 'walled garden' where you need to invite users in to use it.

Users are identified in the system by their email address. If you write to someone that is not a Plum Mail user, then we send that message out as an email to that user with an option to reply. That reply button gives the user immediate access to Plum Mail in order to write back to you. We're doing this passwordlessly. Right at the genesis of this idea we didn't want to build a system that required you to invite all your friends to it before it became useful.

Revenue wise, referencing the above point, Plum Mail has to be free. We will offer premium features for a modest fee.
"What's a solar system? Why didn't they just say how far it is from Earth."
The thing being suggested here is that the campaign of the incumbent is reading all the communications of the campaign of the challenger. I don't think anything of the sort actually happens or is really that easy to (completely secretly!) make happen, but that's the proposed scenario.
This begs the question: if I could remember to renew the cert 365 days before it lapsed then I could as easily remember to renew it 45 days ahead (which, operationally speaking, is as good).

In any case, certificates can only be purchased for a one year term now, so your hypothetical "one year ahead" doesn't fit the problem. Even if buying any updated cert that far ahead creates the same validity period it's not the buying the cert that's the catch — it's the deployment of said cert.
Hi again, I answered this one up above too.

Free to all (system is open to all) with premium features for a modest fee.
> Why the past tense?

Because the Mueller report did not contain any information from the future as far as I am aware. :)

But yes, I don’t think we have any reason to believe that Russia is acting any differently today.

It can, but given Telegram's history and professional cryptographers like Schneier[1] and Green[2] saying DO NOT USE IT, it's obvious it's _anything_ but watertight.

i used to get straight to the point, but people find this offensive, like i am just using them as a google instead of treating them like a fellow human being

once i establish rapport and recognize our mutual humanity, then future engagements i can get straight to the point without people just feeling used

of course some people get offended by the preliminary niceties, but they are in the minority, so best to bet on the common case in absence of further knowledge
I can read the text in the snippet without issue, but I clicked through to some of the full images in the web viewer and couldn't read the text at all. I tried downloading a few PDFs and still couldn't read them.

Not sure if I'm just not getting the full quality somehow or if the image quality just isn't there for OCR to ever work?
The CEO gets it from above. Investors want to hold a portfolio with a particular risk/return profile. In order to do that, the individual components of the portfolio need to be running at higher risk, higher return profiles.

(Portfolio theory is why I am in favour of social safety nets. A worker wishes a relatively safe risk/return profile will voluntarily choose a much higher risk job when they can combine it with a low-risk backstop.)
Gangs of New York is another great movie, and the second floor of the FDNY museum in SoHo is a real eye opener to the 19th century crossover between fire crews and gang culture.
TIL when I buy groceries no business happens.
I complete agree. Not mentioning ICOs (a way for projects and companies to raise money) and not mentioning DeFi (a way to lend and borrow money). I can't really take this publication seriously.
IF your hardware is supported by NetBSD (to whichever necessary extent and use case) it offers the most advanced build system in my experience.

Think of it like the complete LFS, with integrated basic X11 (optional), automated. Either selfhosted from installation, OR crosscompiled even from Microsoft Windows to whatever else is currently supported by it. One single way to operate on diverse systems. Even more advanced than the build system of
FreeBSD, by which Gentoos Portage has been inspired. Similar thing for its PKGSRC, which is the package manager for anything not contained in that base system.

( http://pkgsrc.org / https://pkgsrc.se )

If you ever experienced that, you realize how big the mindfuck of any Linux is, and wish for being in a parallel universe where something like this would be the basic standard to build upon.

Skim the http://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/

edit: To be clear, this is not the normal mode of operation, you don't have to do this to use it, but it is integrated, so that you can generate install images from which to bootstrap other systems.

This seems cool, but somewhat unconstructive. Feels like receiving daily tweets about the continuous destruction of wildlife (but being able to do nothing about it personally) is a very negative overall experience, and doesn’t seem healthy. It is in effect receiving daily bad news which you can do nothing about.

How A Plan to Save the US Power System Disappeared
The very fact out-of-date security mechanisms passed into first version should tell the developers don't follow their field, or that they're complete amateurs. Both are flags so red Stalin would have a problem with it.
In some cases you have to. I'm working on a game and absolutely need separate threads for animation, rendering, and constructing meshes (it's kind of procedural - is part 3d map renderer).
Amazing news. I pre-ordered the book a while ago and am a bit surprised (positively) it's over 600 pages now. The German Amazon page still says 350 pages btw.

Worked with fast.ai for a couple of projects starting <1.0 and with the first MOOC. You're doing great work and it's really appreciated.
Number 3 makes me wonder: Do you think they have a lack of patients?! Why would we need any extra for testing?
As the lead for Chrome Developer Relations, the way I classify why it's important is: we want the web to succeed and for people to prefer and use the web over other closed platforms. To do that we need people to prefer the experiences on the web. For people to prefer those experiences, the sites and apps need to exist and and to work well, for them to exist and work well developers need the tools and references easily accessible in one place. That place is MDN and that's why we help contribute to it (too little it seems, still).
E2EE is not available at all for group chats.
SMT in general is the surprise. Is there any other ARM core out there with multiple threads? Of course once you are able to do multithreading then adding more contexts (4 instead of the 2 common on x86) is "just" a matter of finding the right trade-off between resources and memory latency.

Edit: Apparently the Cortex A65AE ("AE" = automotive enhanced) was released last year and was the first ARM core with multithreading.
The OP said it was never in a union’s interest to harm a company. And I provided counter arguments where they did exactly that. Unions reward mediocrity and the self interest of the union leaders at the expense of society as a whole. You pay a union worker more, that means that everyone else pays for it through higher prices. They also diminish the agency of the individual. Everyone is average.

The US has a union membership of 13% and France is 9%. Does France have a higher quality of life? Many would say so. Does the US have a higher quality of life than Italy? By economic measures, definitely. Switzerland has a much lower union membership than Belgium and a much higher quality of life.

What country has the highest disposable income? The US, followed by Canada, then Switzerland.

And unemployment rate? Before corona skewed everything, the US unemployment rate was below 4%. In Sweden? Close to 7%.

We get mad at businesses for monopolies, yet a union is a monopoly on labor. How is that right? The irony is that many people reading this are Silicon Valley software people making piles more money with far more disposable income than anyone working in a unionized country. If Silicon Valley were unionized, pay and benefits would decline dramatically. And productivity and innovation would decline. What’s the motivation to work hard if your pay is determined by collective bargaining and not your own merits?

Unions are the sanctuary of the mediocre.
> Not everyone is an uninformed cynic.

There are relevant criticisms of the space, but the relevant ones are exclusively inside the space and are distinctly not irreconcilable as it is permissionless to build or advocate for consensus changes to implement something that was built.

The external criticisms lack nuance and masquerade their observations as absolute limitations.
The other day I saw a CCTV video that had been turned into a bit of a social media sensation, in which an elderly fellow is walking his dog when out of nowhere, a random house cat falls from well above and lands on his head, knocking the man flat unconscious. The dog continues on about his exploring for a few seconds more before casually sniffing his owner to see what's up with the guy. It then just as casually moves its attention over to the cat, which is apparently totally fine despite its fall and rough landing (so typical of cats), and starts to play with it over in a corner of the video. The dog was wearing little red boots on its front paws by the way, just in case everything else about the video wasn't absurd enough already...

My point? That even this was a much better candidate for a far-fetched event in 2020 than this pandemic ever could be. Scientists, academics, reporters, policy makers and even some more astute or honest politicians have been predicting it for literally years as something that was probably just around the corner.
The GoW games on a PS2(console, not emulated) are amazing, especially considering it's a 20 year old system. I still prefer them to the newer GoW on PS4.
it is still a pretty good meritocracy

Imo, that is better then yelling raging online playing version of gamer. Still mindlesly clicking away for the most part.
The thing is, there's nothing to audit.

The world's best audit of Telegram would make the following obvious findings:

1. It's not E2EE by default therefore it's not private and secure by default.

2. It's not E2EE at all for groups therefore it's not safe for use of dissident groups

3. It's not E2EE at all for desktop clients therefore it's not practical in daily messaging.

Any audit of the E2EE part is meaningless when E2EE is so impractical it's not used by users at all.
As the customer, it would be more efficient for me to receive what I need today than after one month. I think same day delivery is more about that than optimising a company's operations. They are selling efficiency to their customers.
Ok, I'll bite:

Can someone ELI5 what this is about, why it's interesting, and why someone would want to learn or use this language?

(I'm coming from the perspective of someone who builds user-facing web & mobile applications in Ruby, Crystal, Python, JavaScript, Swift, etc.)

BTW - I'm asking not because I doubt there are good answers to any of those questions - but because I truly don't understand and wish to.

I read the opening paragraph and without spending an hour looking up the definition of each term, I'm more confused than when I started :)

What do I care how many Raspberry Pis I can fit in the same space as a used Thinkpad which brings a display, keyboard, battery backup, and myriad high-speed IO ports beyond just USB, when we're talking about a stationary server role?

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the average HNer already has numerous retired laptops collecting dust in a corner, all more powerful and better suited to connecting high-speed storage to than any Raspberry Pi. They're already wasting space and have already been manufactured, instead of adding more e-waste piecing together Pi-based storage contraptions just turn one on and set it up for server duty already.
And also implementors of the web specs and APIs (browsers and others) imo should fund it more effectively (disclosure, I lead Chrome Developer Relations).
(DH-ratchet is still there. 1536-bit FF-DH was replaced with X3DH etc, but the basic idea is still there. Adding hash ratchet for non-round-trip messaging was a good idea, as was pre-keys stored on server. IMO it's fair to say it's been expanded around OTR)

The automatic ballistic defense systems a tank uses would obliterate an aircraft. They are basically shaped charges that explode outwards to deflect a munition. It only works because tanks have thick armor in a dense, heavy, package.
> I think it's completely fair to characterize defi as "predominantly speculation", which I've editorialized into "unregulated gambling".

You replied to my other comment, so this is exhibit A of a useless higher standard levied exclusively on the blockchain space, without acknowledging every other asset class.

Even with you not considering that a problem, and congratulations for that, the point in caring deflects away from what is happening and every asset class in existence.

In currencies, M0 is the small sliver of the supply use for goods and services, with the entire M1, M2, MB all used for speculation and is largely illiquid.

In stocks, credit, derivatives and commodities the same distribution is seen.

Its not odd for cryptoassets to have the same phenomenon occurring.

The interesting thing is just the overlapping feature set of all other asset classes at once, as well as the additional unique nature of cryptoassets.

The DeFi space in particular is converting non-interest bearing assets into interest bearing ones. That has market traction, and it is permissionless and of unlimited size, caveat emptor and that's a personal choice which has nothing to do with the viability of the space.
CA requires that employers reimburse employees for work related expenses, so there is no issue with expense kickback taking someone below minimum wage. Reimbursement is not earned wages, it is not taxed. It is true reimbursement could be lower than the IRS rate, but actual costs are pretty close to the IRS mileage rate in practice. Depreciation has a real cost that is ignored by many
I don't do this myself, but I did consider doing it, because to some degree it simplifies work flow in the login process.

By way of background I should point out that logins can be a Lot more complicated than just "enter login and password" and critically the complexity may be different per user.

For example some users have 2FA turned on, so we need to collect user name, password And say SMS code. This is the very tip of the iceberg.

So identifying the user first can make it easier to then determine which path to follow.

Ultimately I didn't go this route because AJAX can be used to get the user-name when entered. However it can then get complicated when the user name and password are entered and the login button clicked at the same time (like by a password manager).

So multi-step input is easier to code.
Typically you don't even ask a user for an e-mail for an OAuth based login. I think you're talking about OpenID Connect, where you indeed need the e-mail to know which login provider is used. I haven't seen that in the wild for a long time though, most sites that offer "Login via X" use an OAuth 2.0 based login flow, either with server-side tokens (e.g. Github) or JWT token (e.g. Google).
Our pocket computers should have the necessary sensors to dynamically test for all kinds of diseases.
