I thoroughly enjoyed American Factory's take! It presented many aspects of such a venture without taking too strong of a narrative one way or the other. Petty politics big and small, cultural mismatch, the rich getting richer, union busting. But also the very real attempts at bridging the culture gap and the stories of some imported foreigner workers who develop a serious fondness for life in America.

It's amazing how utter garbage large parts of the digital UK infrastructure are for a country this rich and developed.
That's simply false. Chrome introduced QUIC long before the standardization process, did IETF just take it wholesale? No. Look up "ietf quic vs google quic". Same here.
Not in cities where there is cheap fibre available. But in rural areas it can definitely be like this. It's at least partly because the government ordered our national telecom provider to halt their fibre rollout in the 80s/90s because it deemed it anti-competitive. It's still catching up for lost time.
Well, these kinds of technologies need to be tested at scale before being adopted. On the other hand, SPDY (HTTP/2) was given the same treatment and instead of fixing its issues / scrapping it entirely, we ended up with HTTP/3 a few years later.
Probably a complex explanation with many reasons.

I dont think there is a single reason.
When I read the title I assumed it was going to be something fascinating like 500 mile email, but it sounds like it does still work, it just pushes lower bandwidth connections to lower quality. Seems pretty suboptimal especially if the 30 fps encoding will remain into the future but not what I was expecting.

Side note: ouch on those internet speeds :( I think I’m too impatient for that now.
Same in france. I was able to watch 1080p now I'm stuck to 480p. That's a lot worse situation.

I live in one of the biggest cities but like everywhere we have a shitty connection
I seriously considered trying to move my software team onto Discord (the majority use it anyway in their personal life). The concept of always on voice channels that you can pop in and out of and see who is in is great. I'm actually a fan of Teams (which is what we're using), but that lowering of the barrier of a team member popping in to ask a question or join a chat would have been great.
Indeed. I'm not a lawyer, but clearly there are at least two routes to defending your trademark: ask people to "license" the trademark, or go to court over it. A site that clearly helps build up a brand should be a no-brainer for a free (or if the law does not allow, a £1) trademark agreement that ensures common sense things like "the site should clearly state it's unaffiliated" (which it does) or "the raspberry pi foundation should get first consideration if the site is ever sold".

I do hope Eben Upton weighs in on this, because whoever signed this off, it's a bad decision all round. Blaming trademark law is just a dishonest get-out-of-jail-free that big corporations use to justify belligerent bad-faith dealing. I hope the Raspberry Pi Foundation can show that it's different. This is not a good start.
We do it all the time in situations without geopolitical ramifications because prosecutors trust law enforcement's ability execute arrest warrants.

What "public awareness" is going to help bring these people in from Russia when we show them our hand of "we know who you are and what you do"?

Like what's specifically different about them versus Assange that makes it more likely to bring them to trial by publicly announcing the indictment?
Yes but the situation I asked for a solution is different. It is not about not seeing the e-mail, it is about sending from the private e-mail. Example

You subscribe with `private-XXXX@apple-id.com` which relays to `foo@gmail.com`. Customer support asks you to chat with them from the same ID you signed up. Your e-mail client sends email from `foo@gmail.com`. How can you quickly respond to the customer support from `private-XXXX@apple-id.com`?
Reddit Pro Tip #1: After unsubscribing from all of your original subreddits, only subscribe to those with less than ~100k users (YMMV). If there's a popular sub you like, there's probably an unpopular one for a similar topic.

Reddit Pro Tip #2: On the 'old' site layout, adding /comments to your front page or any slow subreddit will surface all of the comments instead of the submissions. This is a super handy way to see where the conversation is happening when the list of posts hasn't changed much in the past day or two. E.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/hackernews/comments
Because we have a government who doesn't give a shite arse about infrastructure. And that of BT Open Reach corruption.

I live in the city centre and I don't even have fibre. Meanwhile all the new corrupt housing developments all get "fibre" as a perk for buying a house on land that floods.
Oh there is. The government.
Unless something drastically changed shouldn't 99% of all videos on Youtube still be 24, 25, 29.97 or 30 fps? It's pretty rare that I encounter any 60 FPS videos.

Anyway for people suffering from this problem there's always https://youtube-dl.org/. It has some advanced options to download the right stream or even just grab the URLs to play the stream directly.
An ultimatum to delete all content within 2 weeks, after they've not said a thing for 8 years, linked the site from their official blog, ... seems quite heavy-handed. Yes, they might have the right to do so, but it is shitty and not the only option.
Anecdotal evidence:

Lived in the UK for five years and yes, it was bad. Virgin Media is the worst culprit. It marketed its broadband as 5G but has unreliable bandwidth. Not to mention this predatory behaviour. [0]

>for instance we haven't yet blocked any server from Matrix.org

This is stretching the truth. I remember there was a time where Matrix.org attempted to purge a lot of channels related to image board communities. Channels that started with the format of /?/ were deleted from Matrix.org. This includes the federated version of channels from other homeservers. I think it is disingenuous to say that you do not block any other homeservers when you have deleted channels from other homeservers, preventing them from federating properly. Some users have been banned from official channels on the Matrix.org server because of the homeserver they were registered on. Perhaps things have changed since I was last involved with Matrix, but from what I saw the Matrix.org homeserver was to be avoided since they did not play nice.
So it's javascript? The website does not say.
Show HN: Live online event where engineers present what they're working on [MVP]
posting here for the first time, so if the format should be different let me know

[registration required - live event on 22nd of Thursday] - we're organizing an online event where engineers from interesting tech companies will be sharing what they're working on and enabling engineers in the audience to ask questions. 5x 15 minute talks. This is very much an MVP so all kinds of feedback is welcome.

https://www.mytechtree.io/events/seedcamp/localglobe-1

Would love to learn:
1) what would you like to hear from engineers?
2) would being mentored / having a lunchclub like meetings with engineers that you've heard speaking before be interesting for you?
So homeschooling is "critical thinking" ?
I dunno, the latest Bond films, Tenet, John Wick, Inception, the Marvel Series, the Kingsmen series, etc.

I think we're moving away from it.

Maybe I just haven't seen enough new movies though, that could definitely be a possibility.
I wonder what side the Vancouver office landed on... Presumably 3dxp but you never know.
Can I ask what IDE you use/your dev setup?
Chrome has supported draft versions for the past few years already. The current spec is considered to be basically final and there are no more expected backwards compatibility breaks. Seems useful to get some widespread real-world experience in case there is actually something unexpected at a large scale.
For reference the trademark rules referred to in the letter: https://www.raspberrypi.org/trademark-rules/ and the same page from 1st April 2012: https://web.archive.org/web/20120401195820/https://www.raspb...

The basic rule that you may not use 'Raspberry Pi' as part of your company name or in your domain name has been there since 1st April 2012 (and indeed potentially earlier, that was the earliest page in the wayback machine archive) though interestingly the 'raspberrypi-spy.co.uk' domain was registered a few days before 1st April 2012 on the 11th March 2012. I wonder if those trademark rules were visible at the time?

Doesn't really matter from a legal standpoint though in terms of how you view RPi's conduct here I think it'd be very different if the trademark rules page popped up yesterday vs available to read when the creator of raspberrypi-spy.co.uk started the website.

Though it's not a good look to happily leave them to it for so long before enforcing anything. I wonder if there was an initial informal approach that hasn't been tweeted about or if this letter was the first they heard of it?

Edit: Minor typo fixes and tweaks to text.
Then authorize the usage?
Is "transfer your domain to us" really friendly?
Here is an example of Arduino's community logo:

I think sensible defaults are valuable, and I don't think Discord's approach here is sensible.

I agree that most of the time its just an annoying popup to close. But (and this was more of a thing a few years ago) when I actually want to ask someone a quick question or get a quick ballpark estimate. But They've mostly all been replaced with robots or are just a disguised contact us form for you to say what you want then enter your email.
This domain always returns HTTP status code 418 in my locale...
I think that Raspberry Pi Foundation is correct here. I think that this is just a notice to not use Raspberry Pi in the site and transfer the domain to Raspberry Pi foundation (this is questionable).

Reason why i am saying this is that i saw this article with the title

"Introducing the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Single Board Computer"

https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2018/03/introducing-raspbe...

They could have written "Review of" instead of "Introducing" .

At the end, I think that Raspberry Pi must also clarify properly the terms of usage of their assets in their website. For media usage,it is better to permit users to use some assets.
The UK has adopted the US model of "hollowing out"; services that get used by the small elite fraction of the country that lives in the right bits of London are good, everything else is quietly ignored.

It also has a pseudo-market for broadband services through LLU. The network service and billing are done through various providers which compete on price. The ADSL line is monopolized by BT Openreach, who combine the efficiency of a state monopoly with the pricing of a private monopoly.

The government periodically gives BT money to improve speeds. BT pay this money to shareholders and then fail to improve speeds. Both parties are apparently happy with this arrangement.

One of the candidates at the last election promised free high-speed broadband to the country. Media commentators agreed that this was ludicrous pie-in-the-sky.

While that's true in general, in this specific case the website has a store (= set of links) for you to buy Raspberry Pi. They have linked to authorised distributors, but also sell their own BerryClip products as well. I do think there is an obvious risk that a visitor would be confused about whether they are Raspberry Pi themselves or not.
I wonder if Raspberry Pi Spy could potentially win this if it went to court? I know years ago, a Legend of Zelda fan site won against Nintendo of America on similar grounds, as mentioned here:

The site mentioned here is also very clear it's a fan site and not associated with the Raspberry Pi Foundation too...
Hi folks, my name is Alan, I’m the founder of Smidge (previously founded BugHerd, Usabilityhub/Fivesecondtest and ahem RightGIF)

https://smidge.app

As a founder, I’ve always found it hard to find customers willing to have a conversation about our products. The vast majority of users ignore chat apps and don’t respond to emails, but we keep using these tools because it’s cheap and easy to implement. It’s a habit, but it’s becoming less and less effective. I talked to dozens of other founders and found the same problems over and over again. We talk to customers during pre-sales and during support, but that’s about it. We talk to solve and sell, but rarely to learn. I wanted to do better. So I came up with Smidge.

Smidge is instant 1:1 video chat with users from within your app. No email, no Calendly links, nothing for your users to install. Just quick easy conversations.

You install our JS in your web app and we start keeping track of who is active in your app. When you want to talk to a customer, you simply click the “call” button and we robodial users one at a time until someone answers. It sounds intrusive, but in our experience, the users of BugHerd have loved it. It’s easy for them to decline or ask to be called another time (if they decline, we won’t ever call them again). If you optionally provide user meta data, you can create call groups to segment users into buckets. Helpful for getting your CSRs on to high value clients or helping people through onboarding.

We’ve been using it on BugHerd and the response has been pretty great. Previously we’d send out an email with a Calendly link, and out of 2000 odd emails, we’d get maybe 10-20 people on to a Zoom call. So < 1%. Smidge’s success rate is around 15-20%. That means within about 3 minutes of sitting down, you’re on a video call with a user. Until now that’s never been possible (unless you collect ph number at sign up). Our product team now typically talk to 1 customer each per day. That adds up to 250 customer conversations per year that simply weren’t happening before, and it requires no planning, just some spare time to make a call.

Very keen to get some more folks trying it, and of course I’d love your feedback. I’ll be watching here, but you can also email me at alan@smidge.app

Coming soon:

- recording/transcription to help you get insights into ProductBoard or Dovetail.

- Request a call with a specific user from a link (to allow you to hook that into Zendesk, intercom or other support apps).

- Page groups (so you can get CSRs to call folks on certain pages)

- and screen-sharing/remote-control.
Takes your email address and then supplies a blank link, seems like a harvesting exercise.
I think both protocol upgrades are misunderstood:

HTTP/2

Besides the performance improvements brought in HTTP/2 via compression of headers and ability to multiplex streams it also enables full-duplex communication (à la WebSockets) [1]. This is used for example in gRPC, making the protocol far more versatile than given credit.

[1] No, I'm not talking about Server Push.

HTTP/3

HTTP/3 should bring benefits in wireless connections where TCP disconnections are frequent. QUIC handles connection identification so frequent TCP disconnects or even changing IPs would impact much less an HTTP/3 connection. I don't have the benchmarks but I would expect HTTP/3 to shine in this scenario which is bound to be more and more relevant with mobile devices, 5G, etc... In ideal, wired network, conditions HTTP/3 is probably not going to bring any improvement maybe even worse performance considering how much effort must have gone to optimizing TCP.

For me, both upgrades have a raison d'être but that doesn't mean that they displace HTTP/1.1 of all use cases. If you don't care about the performance improvements or need full-duplex no need to use HTTP/2, if you are not targeting mobile networks no need for HTTP/3. Luckily protocol negotiation should be quite seamless.
UK isn't an outlier for Central Europe, because speeds are universally pretty bad there (Germany, France, Spain, Poland, Italy etc. all have similarly bad or even worse results). Sure, it's not Russia-bad or Australia-bad, but it really ain't good.
Oh man. I posted here about this before, but almost exactly four years ago a friend and I put on a concert of our own favorite Tom Lehrer songs to great enthusiasm. By what must be total coincidence, just a few days ago I had posted some videos of that concert to youtube, keeping my fingers crossed they wouldn't get copystriked... and now I wake up to this. I knew of his permissive attitude toward copyright, but I wasn't expecting him to make it official.

Mr. Lehrer, thank you for brightening our lives.
Yes, I've fallen into the 'HTTP/1* is simple' trap myself.
To be fair, 'Raspberry Spy', as suggested in the replies, is a much better name
60FPS is also noticeably more power hungry. I wish YouTube made it optional.
well just whitelist your Public IPs or use a combo of IPset & port knockd. Works fine for me for variable IPs.
FWIW, I have encountered tons of issues in peoples' "this is easy, right?" implementations of 100 Continue (including in some at-the-time major Ruby HTTP servers), non-ASCII encoding in HTTP headers (which has a ton of subtle rules, and just throwing around UTF-8 is not correct), and chunked Transfer-Encoding (though I can't remember what was wrong); further, people often don't even realize HTTP trailers exist at all, which is a bit infuriating :/. (Note, though, that I am still 100% on the side of the anti-HTTP/2 camp in this thread.) The core problem is that somehow people think they can implement a spec without even, you know, reading the spec, which is so far past hubris as to have gone through incompetence into obvious negligence.
They do. Like most Tory initiatives, the money makes it to shareholders but not to actual improvements. https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/government-pledges-pound5b...
"knowing they had won" meant knowing the Germans would not try a land invasion. The air assaults didnt stop.

->what message.
Theres a good google talk called the "theory that wouldnt die" by Sharon McGreyne on youtube. It gets talked about in that iirc.
I also remember the CD-ROM era (and before that). It was also the time when software just worked. There was no other way.

The content on those CDs was permanent. Software rarely needed an updated, it didn't called home with telemetry and it didn't needed a constant internet connection to work. There wasn't subscription models for most of the software.

So you want to do some 3D renderings? Just install this CD with 3DStudio. It works.
Control for socioeconomic status and homeschooled kids tend to do worse in STEM subjects. Even your link which mostly doesn't control for SES and therefore is very biased says this. Therefore you can't say that it is better on every metric, if you think that STEM is important then homeschooling is bad.

> Qaqish (2007), on the other hand, examined the ACT math scores of college-bound students and found, while controlling for background variables, that the conventionally schooled performed slightly better than the home educated.
I upgraded away from my x220 because i could hear when a YT Video was 60fps...

I think its good to push boundaries but making my x220 no longer feasible for YT no.
I don't see why i have to prove anything, I'm not that Anti Doping Agency. Look at the past for example Street-cycling. Russian Olympic team, the Team from East Germany etc....lots of evidence...and even in Curling.

Thanks for the laugh.
Russia played a huge role in WWII, but at a monumental human cost.

The millions upon millions of lives that were wasted by russia is a utter tragedy.

> but it was actually the (surprise) Russian declaration of war...

its really not clear cut like that though is it? The timeline really doesn't back this up.
>Wow, are internet speeds in the UK actually that slow?

Yes, https://www.speedtest.net/result/10279588044. I share this connection with 5 other people in the evenings, thankfully only 2 of us use it during the day so video conferencing is passable most of the time.
It'd be interesting to just have it connect two chat boxes to each other, and inject just enough randomised text to each of them first to get them to start talking past each other.
> even then they can't give credit where it's due

You might as well say not enough credit goes to Tommy Flowers, a man I have always admired for his ground-breaking work building Colossus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Flowers

The popular imagination is not renowned for its grasp of detail, but the histories give due credit.

I would just say, antagonistic comments like "the Brits barely mention" and "they can't give credit where it's due" is nationalistic nonsense which has no place here.
Having lived in the UK and the US, I think a strong reason is that the copper wire is literally entrenched. There seems to be a strong (legislative? legal? political?) aversion to easily replaceable overhead wires. Underground cable is the strong preference here. At the moment I live in the city centre of Manchester (the second or third biggest city depending on who you ask) and am stuck with VDSL.

There are other problems as well - arguably there is no functional market for internet here. The UK is quite a small and centralised but for whatever reason cannot deliver infrastructure to "rural" areas that are only 50 or so miles from the largest cities in the UK, e.g. Wales.

I have co-workers who have moved into new builds with only copper to the building.
Don't be so ridiculous. You're the one imposing arbitrary problems by saying "everything should be written in awk" then writing an example that was an order of magnitude longer in both character count and execution time than the examples that you were suggesting was wrong.

All I'm doing is citing a few reasons why someone might prefer a terser pipeline but I hadn't realised this wasn't supposed to be an objective conversation and since I have no interest in engaging in pointless language fanboyism I'm just going to leave you to it.
Well actually Spoofing on a private network is trivial, but in TCP over a public network, it's another story entirely and it's not simple at all. UDP can be easily spoofed though, hence we do not treat reports in the same way so far. Beyond this, there is eventually BGP spoofing, but funny enough, CrowdSec could detect them, provided you have logs. It should be fairly easy to track in terms of behavior.
Around here at least, the fibre I've seen in new builds isn't OpenReach, it's OFNL.

But fellow city dweller here. I'm stuck on Virgin Media coax where I live, despite being about two streets and direct line of site from the BT exchange.

16mb ADSL2 is the best OpenReach can give me as a consumer.
> West just pats his own back.

It also colonised half of Europe, gaining huge amounts of territory that would have been totally unthinkable ten years previously.

The post WWII settlement for russia was spectacular.
