Is art not valuable? Is it not worth paying for?

Obviously random emoji is not the Mona Lisa, but having pictures of your friends making funny poses or faces etc. certainly increases the value of a conversation. It's also completely optional; not being able to use such emoji won't negatively impact your experience. It will however make you really jealous of all your friends that can use those emoji, and FOMO sets in until you too join the club just so you can be the first to react with a funny emote for the situation at hand.

I also like having GIF profile icons.
If you cant find anyone else running it, and have enough people, LMK. That looks like a system I'm willing to learn.
You can buy thinkpads that just have integrated graphics. The dedicated card is a desirable feature for a lot of people - Lenovo didn't go out of their way to screw you, you just bought a product that has a feature you don't need. I'm not sure why you're so angry...

Here are 14 popular servers accounting for nearly $250,000 in revenue per year.

So where's the big revenue?
Firefox and Chrome both prompt before disclosing the attestation information of your key, adding a UX tax to asking for attestations.

The protocol also does not have a way to get the browser to 'filter' potential authentication methods to just say a google titan key or iPhone 12. So while sites might determine whether to show the authentication options by scraping user agents like they always have, they can't get the browser to handle the user tapping the wrong kind of key. Instead, the browser has to repeatedly inform the user of what went wrong and drive the user through registration/authentication.

So websites _can_ restrict things to a particular form of authentication, but in many cases it may lead to a sub-par user experience. They may also need to tune this repeatedly, for instance to allow other browsers once Apple makes this available to them, or say pushing the authentication experience from desktop to phone or watch.

Since Android and Windows Hello support the same API, platform restrictions in particular have been just asking for more rope to hang yourself with. Such restrictions have been required up to this point because the platform support has been spotty (with Android being the current third place)
fun related certificate fact, TIL that Linkedin's share does not seem to support any of the dutch government certificates - https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/inspect/https:%2F%2F...

(I wish they wouldn't bother with all the EV certificates and just accept LetsEncrypt. So much manual work for broken certificates that need to be replaced whenever the CA messes up the trust bits or Iran hacks the certificate providers again)

No Windows user ever asks me for 'tech support' to get a printer working

I wish. We do have some problems on Windows, but the Mac is so, so much worse. I get the feeling its one of those things that Apple just doesn't value.

I do wonder why there hasn't been a universal printer protocol? You would think that we could get to some set of properties that could describe any printer.
I can see what is the required download size for install and I can track how much data an app is using on iOS.

It's shocking that there's barely been any coverage in US news outlets
>>>Facts Are Overrated <<<
I believe I get the point being expressed but I think the title or the summary is wrong.

The issue is not that facts are overrated or that humans tend to make decisions based on emotions (true) but rather that humans tend to find it easier to understand if you explain logically to them how you are solving a problem they have before you get into the 'hard data' or logic.

For example, you have data that says building feature Y is better than building feature X because you have data from the number of support tickets and the fact that the tickets are growing because support is spending more time responding to this other issue leaving other tickets dangling.

An easier (IMHO) way to sell this would be something along the lines of -
a) We see your stats are getting bad. I have a way of fixing this (the person is interested cos you are going to make them look good)
b) I can see your people are getting burnt out, we can fix that issue for you

This gives an instant/emotional connection and gets the person's interest which then leads you to say - X% of the issues your team is dealing with is A and building this feature 'Y' means we automate that stuff and you no longer have to deal with it.
I remember the outrage quite well when Facebook started spamming ads to the phone numbers of people who were forced to give Facebook phone numbers for "security" purposes and promised to never been shown ads on those numbers. Or when Jack Dorsey's Twitter account was hacked because of SMS 2fA.

Last, phone numbers are general identifiers used in the search boxes of various data collection tools. Maybe you can search by the Threema ID as well, but that requires the tool to be a tiny bit more sophisticated, and that means the people who like to invade privacy of are a bit more frustrated.

That isn't "smartness signalling" or whatever, that's a real concern.
That does not necessarily have anything to do with SiwA, however.
Well, you can get access to the email on all three so it's not a huge problem for vast majority of whom only maintain single email address.
I know it's a thing and I have felt it myself in the past.

What I really have trouble with is that we all admit it's most likely a faulty interpretation, but we still expect the other person to manage it for us. If everyone gave each other the benefit of the doubt more, none of this would be necessary.
So you just dump your thoughts into a text file, and that's helps you clarify them and clean your head?

The killer feature for me is TeamSpeak's "raid leader". You can assign someone to be able to instantly mute everyone else on the call while holding a key. It seems very convenient in, well, raid settings. No idea why Discord doesn't have that.
Pretty much every single subreddit out there has a discord server at this point. Still very tech-related but much more broad than just gaming at this point.
Agreed, with the caveat that we need some regulation through legislation to codify safeguards around identity providers, their responsibilities, etc.

>Translation: Signals ability to forcefully change the software and protocol out for users without any consent (much less informed consent) renders it functionally immune to any criticism or review because any aspect of the protocol could be changed ('improved') at a moments notice.

I'm not sure if it is possible to pinpoint the specific point of crossover, but the analysis of crowd dynamics owes a lot to the study of fluid dynamics, and the counterintuitive insight that placing an obstacle like a column in front of an exit can smooth out and speed the outflow of people by adding some turbulence (preventing the jams that can crush people) is one specific example that I recall.

Interesting concept.

I looked through and one thing jumped out immediately.

There is no option to sort for either game or GM.

Is there a reason this does not exist?

Time - the time filter should be UTC or specify the time zone.
Yes, but many languages have adherents who strongly resist the choice to switch languages. And for some languages, being a diehard adherent has some signaling function.

E.g. a Haskell programmer, regardless of the suitability of the language itself, is probably serious about programming, and has advanced skills in certain areas of mathematics — you don't hear of too many "Haskell script kiddies".

Whether such programmers would accept being systematically underpaid, I don't know. It seems an unethical idea in any case, and if the language is truly N times as productive, programmers versed in it should be well worth more than a standard industry salary.
You can see the installed downloaded binary, sure. And you can see usage after the fact, but there is no reason to assume that the app store size is the only download it will use, most major apps I've seen use a lot more even when not downloading media.
I mean don't leave them on autopilot, then you get the same stump speech they have given many times. Instead push them off-trail just a bit, make them talk about some unexpected connection or comparison, so they have to think.

Agree that Cowen himself wouldn't be the right guy, at least not if you want to hear the technical side.
> It is fundamentally asymmetric style of communication. One person is forced to defend every tiny point, the other person does not have to defend anything.

That is often how people use the Socratic approach today, but it is not fundamental to it. One can make it two sided, with both sides participating and asking/answering questions.

> It is much easier to ask questions then to answer them.

Indeed. I've at least once told the other person that it takes almost no cognitive load to ask a question, but plenty to come up with a meaningful answer, and that I was done answering his questions unless he brought something to the table.

Now if the questioner is indeed trying the Socratic approach, he probably is putting quite a bit of thought into his questions. But for the recipient, it is hard to tell if he is or isn't. Furthermore, asking questions is a tactic used by people to confuse others, so the questioner can't tell if you're being sincere with your queries or not (hence why people say "Don't answer my question with another.")

> Of course there are ways to counteract that, but people will still perceive you as hostile/unfair rather then cooperative.

I mentioned a way in another comment: "It sounds like you have concerns with my approach. I'd like to hear those concerns." For most sincere people, this is enough. If they keep asking questions, I switch to responding with further questions: "Would that not mean that if you do X, then Y will result?" to which my response would be "Would it?" or "Can you explain how you came to that conclusion?" or even "I'm not sure. Can you explain why that is a concern?" If they answer, then I get to respond by questioning them.
I bought a usb laser printer for a few hundred dollars about a decade ago. It gets detected and installed on Mac and Windows without issue. It still prints without issue. I am on the original toner (to help you understand how exceedingly rare it is for me to need to print).

Inkjet Printers are such a pain to make work in general, have such high costs for ink, and rarely hold up well. I would rather buy a color laser if I needed to print color and I’d probably go find a used one that was loved before dealing with the new ones.

Reminds me of 20 years ago when people kept the early HP LaserJet models going for their needs because they were such workhorses.
Seems the gov is also helping NuScale develop a reactor in South Africa. Source: https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/US-government-ba...
>Would it really though?

If rebuilding our nuclear infrastructure was an absolute national priority, the way the moon landing was in the 60s, I don't see a reason why it couldn't be done within a decade plus change (kind of the way COVID-19 has accelerated vaccine development by years because we decided that a COVID vaccine is critical). The problem is that as a society we are not anywhere close to treating nuclear power as a necessity. In fact, the present inertia is to move away from nuclear, with much of new nuclear reactor projects being cancelled, and a number of existing reactors actually closing. There is tepid support for nuclear AT BEST by the public and representatives, and nuclear is still vilified by environmentalist and the fossil fuel lobby (i.e. natural gas companies).

Given that reality, we're looking at decades at best. Basically we need to see renewables through to the end and be convinced that they cannot power a modern economy before there can be any shift.
What kind of problems have they had (on Macs)? I've never had an issue in 14 years of OS X (now macOS) as my daily driver with printers.

Except for one HP printer because HP made everything too complicated (I was able to find a way to connect directly to it rather than through their software, I just had to corrupt my phone with their app to get the printer on the network the first time).

I mean, If there isn't a huge overlap in users of both reddit and discord, then it's an entirely different community on the same topic.

But to answer your question, plenty and not sure if they are willing to pay. Many open source projects now a days start on discord and then eventually add a subreddit. For example, deno.
I'm curious -- do you host your own email, or use a lesser-known email provider?

I am increasingly seeing failures where sites seem to be blackholing outgoing email, I suspect based on the destination domain, and unaware that they are even doing this / extremely insistent that they are not. I've gotten login-email failures like you describe from a couple of sites, and seemingly similar failures from those "email your kid this story" sharing systems on two news sites my mother uses. In all these cases, the messages simply never arrive at the destination SMTP server.
Torrents seem to match your definition pretty well. And it's a quite successfull technology.

Signal is OSS and you can start your own fork & network if you want to.

App publishing platforms not having a good binary signature verification system is the orthogonal issue that you're bringing up, that would in many ways apply to matrix for most users too. Most will never bother to sideload it.
Postscript doesn't do the printer configuration. I remember Printer Job Language, but I don't think that allowed control of printer features.
I've played a few sessions on this platform, including a session across the country with my sister for her birthday. Big fan - if you find a solid DM, this can make quarantine a lot more fun.
I've seen a bit of observational data that points at the hypothesis that one of the things that manifests as IQ is an increased need for intellectual stimulation. Googling for ""need for intellectual stimulation" iq" shows some authoritative people saying that they tend to coincide; I don't immediately see studies about it.

Now, I agree that school tends to squelch natural curiosity and such. I really can't say enough bad things about school.

Still, I can't shake the hypothesis that a decent amount of observational data connected to schooling and unschooling is done by smart people, looking at their social group (likely to also be smart) and at the kids of those in their social group (likely to have inherited smartness). John Holt formed some of his hypotheses teaching at a school with a minimum IQ cutoff (IIRC around 110-120) (researching, I think it was the Shady Hill school, the second one he taught at).

But at the very least, it seems to me that unschooling will work well with smart kids—the smarter, the better—and, furthermore, the smarter the kid is, the worse school will be adapted to them, so it seems pretty clear that, above some intelligence level, unschooling should be placed above school in the list of default recommendations (the specifics of the individual kid and the available schools would, of course, be used to tailor the default into the correct, but I am talking about the default). I don't know what level that should be, but I suspect it's something like 120-130 IQ.

A Brother printer by any chance? My Brother printer is just like the one you descibed but it is not exceedingly rare that I print. It is just infrequent.
That one's a good example, though I'd still argue that such cases are rare. I'm pretty sure that, at least as a consumer (if not as a volunteer) you could communicate with such a local group through email. Last time I've been asked to join a facebook group, I've said I didn't have an account and everyone switched to a mailing list administered via google in no time. (Though I was not the only one.) Pretty sure a bunch of other alternatives would have been possible if google didn't work nicely. Over the last half-year of online academic events, I've seen at least half a dozen different online services used (Zoom, Zulip, Gather.town, google hangouts, Cisco Webex and probably a bunch I don't remember). Most of us users don't particularly like to, but can (without serious tears) learn a new tool when it comes up and turns out to be more suited.

As it comes to reach, don't forget that email has probably the greatest reach of any service around.
The Eighth Wonder of the World
At first it sounded like isomorphic javascript, which is better as far as searchability is concerned. Then I read more about your project. Does this really use reflection to generate rpcs for all server-side data objects by default? Because that's really profound. I guess I never really considered before that the reason we design APIs is so we can tightly control what forms of communication the client is allowed to do, and that none of it would be necessary at all, if we could simply just trust the client. I hope the Internet shows your services the kindness they deserve.
AirPrint is such a protocol and well-supported. They've just moved on to network printing instead of continuing to work on USB printers.

Occasionally it is appropriately valued. A good tech writer, one who reaches out to engineers and figures out the hard stuff and plans an information architecture and documents your hardware product or your service's external APIs and tells people exactly how they work in a clear and systematic manner, can do fairly well at a company that needs this.

(But they're hard to find, and many shops are just YOLO about that sort of thing.)

> why does Signal exist when WhatsApp is good enough?

WhatsApp sends all your contacts to Facebook instead of the Signal Foundation, and unlike Signal, doesn't use SGX to keep Facebook from knowing what they are.
As a rule of thumb, if a technology truly conveyed a massive productivity advantage, one would expect its proponents to keep this a closely guarded secret (while reaping vast riches) and let the competition figure it out in good time, rather than shout it from the rooftops.
Maybe so. But how is this different than saying, "I have nothing to hide, so I'm not worried about having my car searched?" It's a somewhat pragmatic point of view but I wonder if it is a good idea in the limit.
PPD does.
Or, more likely, cooperatives. Apply the same anarchist logic to power and it breeds lethality, but I know local power coops work pretty well IME.
I assume it's a defensible question of priorities.

In spite of the many issues to complain about signal it's still a lot better than what $random_person would likely use otherwise.

Do we do the most good for the world by under-representing signal's weaknesses and overstating its security in order to maximize the people using it over choices that are worse and cheerlead its development, or do we do the most good by trying to be frank and being critical of its limitations (at least some of which are pretty nitpicky), potentially at the expense of the discussion causing people to continue using clearly worse alternatives?

Personally I answer this conflict like this: Outside of a techy venue I don't go into any details about signal's limitations-- I tell people they should use it, but don't assume it keeps them private from governments, google, or other powerful parties.
I think the intent to understand isn't a point of failure, but a potential solution (if it goes hand in hand with humility) to the problems you mentioned -- the one where we all come with our own programming and are all susceptible to various biases that further entrench our existing beliefs, and the one where we are unaware of this programming. Ideally we're all rationalists who can hear each other out and come to an understanding, but it's hard to think rationally about politics.
