Does someone know more about the architecture of Signal's group calls? From looking at the ringrtc source, it seems that the calls are not fully meshed, but use some kind of group key and a SFU for server-side media distribution. Is that correct?
The resource curse also exists in software. I've seen so many comments that try to justify excessive RAM usage with "RAM is cheap". It's only "cheap" if you don't waste it. Otherwise your consumption will increase to match whatever is available even if the additional value the additional consumption provides is close to zero.
> See how little resistance from the EU, VW and other EU major car manufacturers face with emissions.

The EU consistently puts down very strict regulations regarding emissions and with the new 2021 laws it's predicted VW alone will have to pay 4.5 billion euro fines to the EU for not reaching the emission targets. It's one of the reasons they started selling the ID.3 when it was only half-finished.
That's also the case if there's an official Debian package; you can build whatever package from whatever distribution (you may be missing dependencies, but it would be the same with an upstream debian directory). If one is going to contribute a debian directory, maybe it's more efficient to contribute it to Debian directly.

Note also that making "a" .deb package is not the same as making an official Debian package that satisfies the Debian Policy and passes the automated linters (lintian, piuparts, autopkgtest, etc). The second will have the minimum quality that Debian expects.

If this comes to pass as described, this is a landslide shift in mentality. Paying fines for shady practices will no longer simply be the cost of doing business, but there's a real risk of being locked out of a major market.
No, because it's $200 on top of what you would otherwise spend on the stuff you buy. The cost of marketing has to get baked into the price of goods or the sellers would be losing money. If they weren't advertising, or could advertise for less, they'd be able to lower prices.
I wrote this for a related article yesterday:

---

If we know that humans have all sorts of cognitive biases, how come it's ok to use that fact while at the same time we insist there's some kind of free market?

Say you discover that putting good-looking women next to cars causes the sale of cars to increase. Why does nobody question whether it is legitimate to do so? It's as if there's a line between actively lying ("Studies show that men who buy this car will find many many women attracted to them") and just putting it there suggestively, for some as yet undescribed but working cognitive bias to do its magic.

Some advertisers even make a joke out of it, eg the Lynx ads where the dude is thronged by a huge horde of women. It's a cliché, for a good reason.

I suppose most people will just say you have free will and it's your own fault for thinking what was suggested, but I sense this is more of a grey zone than most people are willing to admit. How can the free market work if everyone is so easily affected by suggestion?

---

Of course this also applies to the free market in ideas. In what sense are people free to make up their minds if it's decided for them what they should see, whether or not the government is doing it or FB? Isn't this the same as the authoritarian nightmares that we've been pointing fingers at?

Apple’s Anti-Tracking Plans for iPhone
Futurists were the most punk rock artistic movement before punk rock happened in the 70s. They even invented Industrial noise before Throbbing Gristle with Russolo's "Art of Noises" and orchestra of noise makers. The interesting thing about them is while they enjoyed shocking people and beating up their artistic rivals, they weren't nihilists like punks were: they were punk rock for technological progress rather than sticking bolts through their noses in defiance of de-industrialization.

This is always a good idea; it fosters better teamwork throughout the organisation and makes the abstract work we do more concrete. The last time I did this I remember asking the person if the page load (on the internal system) was always so slow, they replied "yes" - next hackday I optimised it by a factor of 100. That's not something ops people will generally even know to ask for, but when they're dealing with a high call volume, that speed up is like an extra person.
I was hoping you would say education for both men and women so that women realize they have better options than just staying at home but what you said will never work.

The sequel to borat was basically about borat lying to his daughter about what women can and should do and her seeing through the lies eventually. Some countries are really behind the times and "backwards" ideas that were common in Europe 200 years ago can still be found there today.
That's a general issue with trains, the infrastructure costs are massive and don't scale very well compared to planes.
Florida Man Foots Utility Bill for 114 Neighbors Ahead of Pandemic Christmas
I'm lucky to live in a city (Hanover, Germany) on the intersection of many night train routes. Back when Deutsche Bahn operated their night trains one could travel to Amsterdam, Brussels, Warsaw, and Prague. Now with ÖBB operating them one can ride to Hamburg, Vienna, Innsbruck, and Zurich.

Some years ago I did Hanover -> Warsaw and Hanover -> Prague. It was very chaotic to board at night and all the confusion which one of the train parts goes to which end station. Clearly other passengers had the same problem. Seems to be part of the adventure. You also have to get used to sleep in those trains. When ÖBB started to operate them I did Hamburg -> Hanover to ride back home (which continues to Vienna) and Munich -> Venice.

Of course your riding experience depends on whether you book seats, beds, cabins, or just the train ride. One time when I woke up I saw the polish worker standing by the window having his first beer. I didn't even notice him enter the cabin in the middle of the night. We talked for hours. Another time I just booked the train ride and when boarding the train spend minutes to cross the compartments full of people to find a nice spot. There were even some sleeping on the floor. I was lucky to reach the Czech part of the train, which had a lot of empty seats. The ride on the tracks next to Elbe and Vltava rivers is very magical.

For the train ride to Venice I reserved a single cabin which was very comfy. And the one departing from Hamburg had a delay of 120 minutes. I entered the train a searched for a cabin and was greeted by someone who smiled at me. So I entered the cabin and had a chat with her. She told me the delay was due to ÖBB having problems with loading all the cars and motorcycles on the train, and added there seems to be a delay between 60 and 120 minutes every day, because the problems don't go away.
> I'm tired of having to...

Weird, I manually opt out of everything on most websites I visit and I find it pretty straightforward. There's only a handful of flows that most websites use, so it's not that difficult. There are some egregious exceptions (Yahoo being a particularly annoying one), but that's a small number of cases and, in most cases, it makes me realise I didn't actually care that much about reading their content, so I just move on.

Also, the dark patterns are not a result of the law, but a result of insufficient law enforcement. If the EU comissions starts going after a few websites that employ particularly dark patterns for consent, you'll see everyone fall in line.

> Is this freedom?

Yup, it's that website's freedom to block EU traffic.
This comment always comes up and the answer is always the same.

The dark patterns are straight up non-compliant with the law. The GDPR mandates about 0 of those popups, it's the shitty companies that "comply" because they want to abuse your data that make those popups.

Same with the foreign newspapers, they're _not_ required to block anything. They just chose to because it's somehow easier to block traffic than to not track them.
> "ugggh.... annoying modals about privacy on every website"

and most of them use dark patterns to not let us disable analytics.

There are websites with hundreds of "partners" that you have to disable one by one if you don't want to get their cookies.

For once the EU is fighting the good fight, but they have no teeth. Look at the quagmire that is Google privacy options list.

I agree that some laws miss their effect. Especially the cookie law turned out horrible. But I do consulting in multiple big enterprises in EU countries, and since GDPR each of them is very careful when dealing with user data and what data they collect. I didn't expect this big of an effect when GDPR got introduced.

If that was the mindset you started with, then my attempt to give a nuanced answer the question was doomed from the start.

Yes, identified a deficit in myself which, much like lactose intolerance or celiac disease, applies in some situations. This whole thread is additional evidence that trying to communicate with PHP developers about cognitive processes is one of them. The right response for me is to avoid that.

> So there's something else going on. To cut to the chase, it's publishers being ideological and idiotic: they are trying to make some point about EU imperialism and US sovereignty, by pretending that the EU has powers it doesn't have.

Could be, but another explanation is that the newspapers have heard of GDPR and don’t understand it (detailed legalese that they can skip by not serving EU citizens, I can’t really blame them), while Four Seasons Total Landscaping hasn’t even heard of it (weird foreign thing about tech — who cares? We sell spades, not computers!)

I recently used the Libre Sense continuous glucose sensor as an experiment (I don't have diabetes).

Spotify complained that apples uses its market power as the app-gatekeeper to promote its own services over Spotify's.

* Mastercard and Visa cut off Pornhub, declining payments from customers who wanted to subscribe to its premium adult entertainment.

* The move came in response to a searing New York Times story that showed instances of children engaged in sex and women being assaulted in videos on the site.

* Pornhub changed its policies to clamp down on abuse, and today said it was accepting crypto only as its default payment.

> The technology exists to take your likeness and morph it with a face that is demographically similar to you. The result is a face that looks like you, but that you don’t recognize. If that turns out to be more persuasive than coarse demographic targeting, is that okay?

I have wondered if in the future, movies/TV shows will be personalized with your name. I have found that when I watch a movie where the main character shares my name (and therefore other characters say the name a lot when talking to/about him), it makes the experience more immersive. It would seem fairly trivial to substitute in other names in a pretty smooth way (it would get tougher if you had to also adapt things like a business card that is visible on-screen, however).

Of course, this could be taken to the next level if you changed the faces of the actor via deepfake-like technology. I don't know how actors would feel about this sort of thing, but hey maybe it would open up the door for a bunch of new actors, who would essentially be a blank slate for customized faces. Imagine a world where Hollywood actors don't have to be good-looking!
They have a point, the eu is forcing themselves between service providers and citizens.

As a European citizen, I don't want this.

It also costs money to implement GDPR
We should distinguish having above average mental faculty, and above average skills.

I vastly overestimated the impact of the former until university. Engineering classes kicked everyone's asses. Everyone was equally smart, but some people studied harder than others.

On the other hand, I know I am well above average at certain things because I've been doing them for many years. I have an above average interest in those things, and put an above average effort into learning them.

This is also true for other people. My dad is an average dad, until you ask him about cars or motorbikes. I knew he liked cars, but I didn't get to appreciate the breadth and depth of his knowledge until I started wrenching on vehicles. He spared me the details out of politeness, because I wasn't into cars. Now, he doesn't spare me, and it turns out he's a mechanical grandwizard. It was right under my nose this whole time.

I suspect most people are like that. They are average, except at one or two things. We tend to judge others based on the one or two things we value, and fail to appreciate them for what they're good at.

> Let's not kid ourselves, the main reason EU is pushing against them so easily is that they're not European so they have nothing to lose.

Data protection in the EU goes back to before Facebook was even founded. Google was still a small startup. The GDPR was just the next iteration of it.

In any case, even if that were the case, then recognizing the right to one's own data as a fundamental right would just be an empty pretext.

> See how little resistance from the EU, VW and other EU major car manufacturers faced with emission cheating/scandals and the amount of lobbying they do.

It's possible for someone to do well in one area, and to perform badly in another.

As a counterpoint, the GDPR has been enforced just as strongly against European banks, for example.

Edit: here you go, the first EU incarnation that recognizes the rights of individual to their data, published in October 1995 (when none of these tech giants even existed):

The ISP provides a Fiber 10G-EPON ONU which plugs into their all-in-one. [1]

It is my understanding that subscribers with a Freebox Delta only receive this, since the Delta is SFP+ capable. Since I have the older Freebox Revolution the ISP provided me a media converter which accepts the ONU and provides a normal SFP port which can be plugged into a normal device with an SFP port.

wait, so now all cars in the world have to optimize for a fraction of roads in Germany? or having a universal ability for everyone to take their Chrysler Pacifica or Chevy Equinox to a private race track? This explanation makes zero sense, tons (if not most) of cars that have 120-140 mph on the dashboard (such as the two above) will never go anywhere near Germany or a private race track. I'd rather go for the "acceleration" explanation elsewhere here - but what do I know.

Why would you ever eat uncooked pasta?
Uncooked.
depends on the pasta type though.
Spaghetti can be easily 180g.
Penne, Fusilli or Rigatoni, let's say 150g.

My sauces are generally quite light. I'm vegetarian, so they never involve calorie-dense ingredients such as guanciale or pancetta. (I know, I know, what am I missing and so on... :D)

For me pasta means less ingredients as possible, at the highest possible quality.

Examples: Fresh Tomato-Basil Spaghetti.
I use only spaghetti from selected Italian brands such as De Cecco - low end but extremely good in my opinion - Rummo or Gentile, organic Tomatoes from a fresh food store, my own home-grown basil, extra virgin olive oil from Calabria, chili also from Calabria, extra-fine tomato extract from Mutti.

Fettucelle burro e limone: Fettuccelle DeCecco, Irish butter, Bio shallots, Phu Quoc black pepper, organic Lemons (from Sorrento when in Italy, just bio when here in Germany) for the juice and the zest.

Fusilli or Rigatoni alla Norma. Organic tomato sauce from Mutti with pieces of tomatoes, organic aubergines from Italy, same olive oil from Calabria, same chili from calabria, my own basil...

And so on: Aglio e Olio e Peperoncino, Arrabbiata, Puttanesca, Pasta all'aglione, ecc.. The sauce is never heavy, and the pasta itself can shine.
As you can see I also never cook pasta as an afterthought. This way, you can definitely control how much you eat.

Not necessarily. I don't know what percentage of advertising revenue is from political advertising, but that's money that Facebook makes off of you that doesn't come out of your pocket. Essentially any time you're shown an ad that aims to convince you to support some idea, or vote for something, or change your behavior in some way (like going vegan) instead of trying to get you go spend money, you provide value to Facebook that doesn't come out of your pocket.

I suspect that this is a lot of the value of "the next billion". Why bring Facebook to people who have little disposable income? Because there are still ad buyers who will pay to reach those audiences if they have votes to give, or even just public support for some cause or another.
