was talking about voice chat only

Quick, ad-hoc voice chat with minimal hassle is one of the most important features of gaming voice chat. A big reason discord is more successful than other solutions in the space is that they recognized this. You can try to define 'voice chat' down to something mumble is good at but it doesn't end up being a very interesting way to compare things.
> Mixing is a foundation of cryptocirrency, cryptocirrencies don't make any sense without mixing.

I'm going to need a citation on this one. Many people who are still stuck on Bitcoin maximalism these days seem to have gone the "nothing to hide" route, and actively denigrate the idea that privacy tech should be implemented at all.

> Who wants their entire transactions history to be public?

Use Monero.
In USA? I’m not even sure. In France there are many circumstances where you must reveal your phone password or any hard drive’s encryption key, if there is legit suspicion it has been used for general criminality (case in court with a cannabis dealer).

This might be what gets me to pull the trigger on tinkering with hardware, between this and the JS on firmware project I saw on HN, I've definitely felt the call recently!
> They are the products of a period and locale in which white supremacy was more or less unquestioned by a large proportion of the English-speaking population.

By that standard, James Baldwin's writing is a relic of white supremacy and homophobia because he wrote when both were more or less unquestioned.

Or, by a more sensible standard, you have carelessly besmirched a writer's reputation by associating him with white supremacy via a vague claim about historical attitudes and no reference to his beliefs or the content of his work.

As a strategy, I suppose it has the benefit of not requiring much thought or evidence.
Why is it, whenever Signal is brought up on Hacker News, we get inundated with the people who object to the core decisions of the Signal Project? Would Signal really be better if, instead of having a secure messenger available to the masses, it spent massive amounts of time implementing the things these people want? No. I would be comfortable recommending Signal (or WhatsApp) to a nontechnical friend and communicating with them on it, with the expectation of a certain level of privacy. I spend a lot of time on Hacker News and consider myself a very technical person, and I'm not sure I trust myself to use Matrix in a forward-secure way where it's at right now. If everybody spent the time they spent complaining about Signal working on getting Matrix or whatever to a point where it was usable... well, frankly I don't think it'd be much better off than it is right now, but it seems more likely to bring about results to me than endlessly lobbying to have Moxie do _the thing he thinks cannot be freaking done right_. Right now, Signal exists and can be used securely (given certain common threat profiles) by the typical smartphone user. I'm really tired of people comparing the security that Signal offers to the security of imagined hypothetical messengers.

I use Ripcord[0] on my desktop/laptop, a Discord client which provides easy switching between accounts. It's lightweight and supports slack, too.

I suppose it is a mixer, but with more modernized protocols.

In earlier days AFAIK, a central coordinator was required to take custody of coins.

Now its mostly trustless.

There was a slight glitch while viewing the site from mobile. Sorry if you faced that. Fixed it.
Maybe Facebook is nobody's favorite platform because it's the one most people have.
I agree overall with your economic analysis, just one thing to point out:

You might be able to get _some_ economies of scale if you homebrew your own adventure and reuse it with multiple groups.

In terms of other ways to scale your per session income is to allow people to just watch the sessions you're DMing(a la Crit Role), but at this point you're a content producer (not to mention the players might not like being watched by others).
This is quite wrong. To log in to Discord, I have to provide my e-mail address, be logged into a Google account (because of reCAPTCHA), and possibly even open my mail box to confirm to Discord that I am, in fact, me.

This is the Web experience at least, on mobile they presumably already have all of this (or the equivalents) right after installing their app.

EDIT: to add to this, I once created a Discord account associated with a fake e-mail. After a while they presumably figured that out, but instead of, e.g., letting me log in and change the e-mail, they just locked me out.

Outside of doing it for the heck of it (which is a valid enough use case , IMHO), what practical use do you see out of this ? To me, it looks like I can do all of the same things mentions (perhaps even waay faster) on a x86 processor in the same size factor.
I don't know many people who would just go "eh, forget it" for a Macbook at an anonymous repair shop whilst it was still laden with emails and photographs and other personal content. Even if he can shrug off the cost of the laptop itself, I'm reasonably sure that Hunter Biden - long the target of the GOP ire, remember - or at least a lackey would have been back to that shop about 30 seconds after someone realised what had happened.
Thanks a lot for sharing all this. I'm a geek for efficient farming and this is great! You've provided content for months.
Because that works so well on Reddit. /s
Per update. If the users only visit your website once to initially download the app, you would be losing money after the third update.

Using a CDN will drive down your delivery costs.
I use a VPN to access my work's corporate services which are not available outside of the corporate network.

This is probably the single most common use of VPN software.
It's already pretty hard to compare them, but really, does the FBI shoot/kill more innocent folks than local police?

The recent protests were not against the FBI, but against local police. The FBI has some checks and balances built in (Office of Inspector, Congressional oversight), whereas it turns out mayors can't even fire the police chief (without cause), and the police unions are pretty damn powerful.
Thanks for answering - not sure why someone would downvote someone directly answering a question!
Do you really think a company the size of Apple is going to separately negotiate terms of service with every developer that wants to publish an app?

Contracts of adhesion are just a part of life. We agree to them practically every day whenever we do business with a third party. And if you were in the other party's shoes, you'd do the same thing; otherwise you couldn't practically run a business.
You need to learn how these systems work before commenting further. First, you're wrong about the current biometric systems' sensor design — Touch ID and Face ID are not simple single frame cameras[1] so while spoofing is not impossible it's nowhere near as easy as you're claiming — and, more importantly, you're missing that the biometric is used to authenticate to the local device, not the remote service. If someone steals your phone, as soon as it's removed from your account the attacker has no access or way to gain access to your resources and they also do not have a copy of your biometric data. If I do get a full biometric from you, I cannot use that to add a new key-pair to your account without already having fully compromised it.

That means that you're left with really unusual situations like someone stalking you with drones with 3-D infrared scanners who can't figure out how to have the same drone record your password when you type it in many times per day.

I get a little mad every time I ear about IKEA environment concerns.
Traditionally made furniture could last for hundred years, finished with beeswax linseed oil, or something similar. You can easily sand and reapply finish, you can easily reglue a broken part. And when everything goes wrong with an old piece of furniture... you've got firewood.

IKEA furniture is built to last just enought time, it's full of composite materials that for sure are really hard to recycle.

This is the same BS speach as Apple not providing a charger.

If you want to provide greener solutions, provide things that can last longer, are easy repairable and upgradable. It will hurt your profits because you won't be able to shove as many products down the consumers throats, but that's the way it has to be.
I'm finding it rather unlikely that decentralized institutions like blogs, forums (the PHPbb kind, not subreddits), personal websites will disappear as a class. What has been happening is that people have taken the parts of their communication that does not require such tools into the more convenient walled gardens of Facebook, Twitter and Reddit -- commercial entities that (for perfectly valid commercial reasons) focus on the 80% of communications that they can service with 20% of the work. If these behemoths were really trying to become universal content archives, they'd behave very differently. I don't think they're losing any sleep over the existence of 4chan, Dreamwidth or Simple Machines Forum; it's a different world, and not one they could easily make any money in. They have centralized the internet to the extent that helps making them money and no step further.

I wouldn't be surprised if states start playing this game, but if government IT so far has been any indication, the results won't last long. Most likely, servers in rogue countries will be used for all sufficiently hot potatoes (just as Library Genesis and Sci-Hub are operating from Russia but used all over the world), whereas the rest of online activity that doesn't fit well into the big walled gardens will keep happening semi-anonymously as it is now. Governments will probably keep downloading and hoarding everything, but this has been going on for years and everyone just adapted. Downloading is but a first step on the long road to controlling (and, unlike the former, the latter cannot easily be automated). Encryption bans will be undermined in practice by steganography, surveillance by fake data, and censorship by various forms of illegibilization. I'm not saying it will be a great world to live in...
Main use case might be doing whatever you would do on 10 year old laptop reused to be your home server. Similar performance, similar power usage.
I’ve never used Discord. What is it? What other things is it similar to?
I'm 38 now. I have been on the pump/CGM (MM670G) for just under three years. I was on pills for 2-3 years, at first the metformin and glimiperide were enough and I got my A1C back to the sixes; but I maxed those out and it was climing agian. Then maxed out Onglyza, then maxed out Invokana at which point I switched to the pens.

The problem with the pens is that I would need 25 units of basal insulin and 25 units of the rapid acting insulin. You can't "undo" your 24 hour basal injection; so if you don't eat enough carbs or exercise too much you can go low. The pens are also not nearly as precise as a pump for delivering the rapid insulin.

After my A1C climbed back, my endocrinologist prescribed the pump and CGM closed loop system. We did a blood test that showed I was T1, which was enough for United Healthcare to pay for the CGM and not just the pump.
A bigger problem is tree structures, it is particularly egregious for HTML and JSON where the output tend to be a complete mess of red and green. I think a good solution would be for git to call out to the respective language servers (the VS Language Server Protocol) and render changes based on AST and syntax specific diffs.
yeah I feel similar... there's a weird bloat factor to discord that never left.
Discipline Doesn't Scale
I checked stats. For women, 2 or of 5 murders are be partners. 15 times as many women were killed by someone they knew then by stranger. These are data from 2013.

So, if you live in place where kidnappings are the biggest danger, that place is outlier place. It is not so much that i an privileged for not worrying about it, it is that the city you are in is really bad.
That's impressive, and sounds like what I was thinking for my future children.
I just have no idea where to start. Got any resources for me to learn how to do these things for my children?
The Mueller report clearly left unfinished business (not an exoneration not indictment), and a senate report went further - if there wasn't collusion it's by a technicality rather than the spirit of the law.
China doesn't have to control/centralize all of the internet - just enough that the vast majority of people cannot access content that cannot be policed. VPNs still very much work and are used by tech savvy there - but they are effectively useless for most people, thereby just making them not attractive.
> I'll be home late tonight

>> Okay.

The only way in which that strikes me as "weird" at all is that the second person responded in a different style than the person they are responding. That is, there's nothing inherently weird or awkward about the period. Imagine, for example, this instead:

> I'll be home late tonight.

>> Okay.

I don't think anybody would bat an eyelash at either part of this exchange, because they "match" in style.
> This is just fear-mongering.

No, it's 100% not.

It's taking him at his word.
FinCEN hits Bitcoin mixing service operator with $60M penalty for BSA violations
Well, there's unconditional goto (jmp) and conditional "goto" (branch).
From stories that Gabe Brown has shared there are many farmers that are afraid to take a leap to an entirely different way of farming from one they know well. He recommends farmers do a trial field so they can prove to themselves that it works.

Watch any of Gabes talks on YouTube. They are usually to small crowds of farmers looking to improve their operation. People are learning but the easy path is to continue doing what you know. Gabe has said he would have done the same if he wasnt flat broke when he inherited his farm. He simply didnt have the money to buy inputs. His choice was find a different way or sell the farm.
My main nit with Discord over Slack is lack of threading. After that, the voice/video did not feel suitable for a business setting - the PTT format works for coop play but it's annoying to have it on constantly at work. I prefer explicitly scheduled video calls there.

Beyond that, there is a somewhat long tail of little features like integrations, LDAP, etc.
For what it's worth, it's been said (by anonymous sources, no one on the record) that Apple did not threaten to terminate Epic's "Sign in with Apple" accounts/features, and they spent extra effort to maintain their access to that after their account was terminated.

I do not know if other terminated accounts get this "luxury".
Assuming "1 million" is a proxy for taking the limit to infinity, i.e. the usual asymptotic setting, if you are willing to accept that the algorithm will "only" work with probability 1, then yes, I can.

Let N be the size of the array. Create N new empty lists, numbered from 0 to N-1. Divide [0, 1) in N equal brackets B0 = [0, 1/n); B1 = [1/n, 2/n]... BN-1 = [(n-1)/n, 1). For each element, determine the bracket it falls in and append it to the corresponding list. Sort each list.
Because of the uniformity hypothesis, for n -> infinity, the probability that each bracket contains O(1) elements goes to 1, therefore the running time is O(N) with probability 1.
That's a per-server controllable setting. The admins can set it such that only users with a verified email (and phone number if they desire) are able to send messages.
Great timing!
You could say that about anything -- nothing is completely static -- but it's worth mentioning that Apple vs. Epic is a counterexample; Epic wants apple to change their policies (lower than 30% cut) while Apple wants to maintain the same structure since the inception of their app store.
So your question what's the advantage of cluster comparing to one processor unit?
I don't. Authentication is a pain, and the later in the stack you try to solve it the harder and hackier it gets. We have the gross hack of certificate authorities because we failed to deliver authenticated information via the domain name system.

> their host caches for that domain

Hm, would this trip a MITM flag if someone switched hosting providers? Like, if example.com is http only and is moved to a new datacenter, is there a way to distinguish this from someone MITMing the traffic?
Hmm, interesting, thanks, and I see now there are PCIe expanders based on that idea. [1] I think the CM-4 + reference IO card + expander + PCIe versions of stuff I'd want are getting more expensive than makes sense (in comparison to say the ODROID-H2+ that has more built in and I'm finding hard to beat lately) but maybe someone will make a single IO board that's more appropriate for a NAS or NVR. This hackaday article [2] suggests the CM-4 would be good for that.

I looked up those bandwidth numbers:

USB 2 = 480 Mbit/s
PCIe 2.0 = 4000 Mbit/s
USB 3 = 5000 Mbit/s

I keep looking for lower-cost machines for a fully-functional open-source NVR. I don't think I'd be likely to use more than 4000 Mbit/s between a couple SATA HDDs, a second Ethernet port, and a Coral or two. But the Coral can use more than 480 Mbit/s by itself. The USB accelerator product page [3] says "* Compatible with USB 2.0 but inferencing speed is slower."

Stoked to have you on the platform.
Signal’s recent (not even yet out for many) implementation of mention-only notifications has reinvigorated my investment in them.

I am a bit more confident now that usernames will eventually come.

But the fact that it’s so slow to change is quite ironic, considering that the whole point is “the ecosystem is moving”. Well apparently it moves like molasses.
Yea, I remember quitting dev, and never regretting that. JEE wasn't as bad as what lead up to it though.
You're assuming a lot, especially about the willingness to install an app at all. I won't install an app unless it couldn't actually have been a webapp and I use it really often.

Give me a proper website with a proper email/password/WebAuthN & SSO signup. I don't want the app, I don't want any of it.
> They force you to use a non-voip phone number for account creation now in some cases. Or joining some servers.

Some servers can opt into extreme "are you a human?" validation and SMS verification is a good, universal signal of that. It helps prevent botting, alt accounts (frequent reuse of that number shouldn't be possible IIRC), and ban evasion.

Also, if Discord itself notices weird activity coming from your account that looks like a selfbot (a program pretending to be the client via Discord's private API) or automation, it can pop up that verification flow. I'm guessing extremely abusive shared IPs can also trigger this.

But AFAIK you don't have to attach your phone number to continue. (I don't remember if it only suggests to link your phone for 2FA or that it auto-links and you can remove phone 2FA afterwards) Discord have outright denied selling or forwarding your info, and they don't show or plan to show ads. In that case, what's the issue with one-time phone verification in some cases?
It's great that you're offering a mentorship program, but I would have been one of those students complaining. In a business setting I understand the need to optimize onboarding, but in an educational setting I think inclusiveness should rank higher.

In our student organizations (at university) we've settled on Teams, which is what's available through our university accounts. I'd guess most universities have an equivalent, but let me know if I'm wrong. This has the benefit of requiring no sign-up, and separating work and personal life.

If you're talking about HS students, then I'd be surprised to hear that they're unwilling to install your preferred chat app to join the program.
Collusion is not a specific offense or theory of liability found in the United States Code, nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law. For those reasons, the Office’s focus in analyzing questions of joint criminal liability was on conspiracy as defined in federal law.

We are! Trying to figure out the best way for Virtual Play with them, with things like Virtual Tabletop Simulator and Vorpal Board.
> you have your details there for good and they don't go away accidentally like with the browsers.

But when it does go away (app reinstalls, phone upgrades, phone breaks etc), it causes a disproportionately catastrophic event: complete loss of access. Providing a simple email address would prevent this, but expecting the common user to have the wisdom on account recovery strategies is too optimistic. That's why many apps ask for email during registration.

That can be tolerable for Discord, because your loss is just your friends list and access to some servers, which can be recovered easily through social means. That's not possible or feasible for every kind of app.
I’d say that’s poor workmanship rather than flooding as defined by NFIP. Sloping an addition away from a structure is pretty basic. The contractor might be bonded, but you don’t own the property, so I wouldn’t say there’s much recourse for you, unfortunately.

Generally speaking, residential construction is very high risk for meager returns. Market incentives just don’t align with spending an additional 2-3X on labor to use expert craftsman.
Didn't even need to read the article to know this. Radar is a joke and Apple clearly doesn't take public bug reporting seriously.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has a Github repository asking every day developers "what about Windows gets in your way of development?" and all issues are responded to personally by the Microsoft team and they have addressed quite a few long-standing issues people have in the OS in the form of automatic updates.

I logged a Radar with Apple about 3-4 years ago (maybe longer) about an API failure about their recycle bin. I've followed up, pinged them, etc. No response.

I don't like either company overall, but Microsoft really has been trying on this front, and it seems to be paying off. Apple is decades behind (it feels like the savannah days, if savannah were completely behind closed gates).
Lol now that is weird! Wow... here's the source code he obfuscated. Very clever

for(b=i=[X=3772];i--;)b[i]=68*i%9%2;setInterval('for(a=b,b=[h="<pre>"],i=0;i++<X;i%w||(h+="\\n")){for(d=j=0;e=[1,91,w,93][j++];)d+=a[i+e]+a[i-e];h+=".#"[b[i]=3==d|a[i]&2==d]}document.body.innerHTML=h',w=92)
You're definitely right that it's hard to compare them, but it seems likely to me that the FBI would shoot/kill all sorts of innocent people if there were like 700,000 FBI agents instead of 35,000 and they did all the stuff that local police do...
I do notice, that PulseAudio shows me that the audio stream from Firefox is labelled "AudioCallbackDriver", which is unusual: most Firefox audio streams are labelled "AudioStream". I think this is a little-tested feature in Firefox at this point. Somehow it also manages to activate the speech (espeak) dispatcher too.

Not cool.
Mentioning that those charges were dismissed without providing the reason or context seems rather incomplete, at best.
