I definitely agree with this. Getting people to use Telegram instead of SMS or other random chat apps can be difficult but getting them to switch to Signal is basically a "not going to happen" until Signal ups their usability. Even people I've gotten to try out Signal all abandoned it. At least with Telegram, they stuck with it and still use it to this day. It'd honestly probably be easier to get Telegram to adopt Signal's protocol than it would be to get users to adopt [current] Signal.

Did you clear cookies before signing in from the other country? As I remember, Google made me re-authenticate via text the last time I cleared cookies, despite connecting from the same IP address as my last login.
I've been institutionalized for suicidal depression a few times and aside from endorsing that video, I wanted to hijack your position in the comment hierarchy to express that a scary thing about the linked article is that a lot of people aren't going to get any counter-information; they're just going to get nudged into a lifestyle that they'll probably contemplate sweet release from at some point.

Every once in a while I see an article from a major publication that makes me recoil. And I don't know how to express it but the fact that someone's gonna kill themself (long) after following the article's advice isn't the worst part of it at all.

Most people don't actually kill themselves, they just desperately want out of a situation they can't convey to anyone, can't fix on their own, and makes no sense. It's like if someone's house got robbed and they got beaten into a hospital bed on every prime-numbered day of the month, but no one told them those rules and no one believed them when they talked about it. The day that poor bastard got fed up, burned their house down, and just started walking would be better than the thirty days before that, even excluding prime-numbered ones.

Anyway I'll be holding my breath for an apology article from the new york times so I guess I'll see you on the other side
If it's a fixed offset for a particular person, then isn't that just another variable in a simultaneous equation? You'd just need one more sample to solve for it.
Why, from first principles, should healthcare be tied to employment? Most other countries don't do it this way. That we do it here is just an accident of history (healthcare as a benefit is not treated as taxable).
After a few years in medical research I learned a shocking truth: patents in medicine are killing more people than they are save. It’s an absolute disaster. Big pharma splintering into thousands of smaller players would be a huge improvement.

> Disreputable and reputable services alike change ip all the time.

If you're running a serious mail service your IPs don't change that much. Not only will you have a pool of IP addresses just for that reason, you'll also likely need a few unused ones for when one of your users tanks your reputation and you have to roll them.

Nobody taking real money for email will use a randomly assigned IP as source. (unless it's randomly selected and then tested for reputation before use) Mailgun and other services even allow you to book a dedicated IP just for your outgoing emails.
Yeah its very much opt in so Im not sure what the real issue is apart from being somewhat granular. How granular telegram makes it is the question. From the article the way they asked didn't sound like it was "do you live at 123 something st" but instead are you by, which even if you were a few blocks off someone might say yes.

For all we know Telegram is doing some rounding. Gonna need to test some more to see I guess.

I was referring to the inflation of the US dollar. That's why property, stock, bitcoin, etc. went up.
The law that prop 22 is overriding was patching loopholes with employment law. Where companies exploited employees by making them independent contractors so they don't have to provide benefits.

The law in question (AB5) essentially banned hiring employees as independent contractors if they were performing a primary function of the business.

While I didn't support prop 22, and still think it is bad that it passed (and no, voters are dumb and did not know what they were voting for), I think this is totally unrelated to Prop 22 or AB5. Most likely after many drivers got sick and became unavailable for weeks due to covid, Vons decided to outsource delivery.
> Prop 22 wasn't unclear. The voters knew what they were voting for, which was to keep the status quo with regard to gig economy jobs, and roll back the broad, messy legislation that the state legislature had enacted.

Prop. 22 didn't restore the pre-AB5 legal status quo, which was set by the 2018 Dynamex decision which AB5 largely codified and created some exemptions from.

> The small fraction of 'full-time' gig workers would've come out ahead. The much larger majority of part-time gig workers would've lost their side job.

No, they wouldn't. The Dynamex/AB5 would require some workers that under Prop 22 are contractors to be regular employees, but it would not require them to be full-time employees. This was among the very many bits of misinformation spread to sell Prop 22.

No, because your solution will be off by that offset. eg. if the offset is 1KM to the north, and you tried the method mentioned in the blog post then your final solution will also be 1KM to the north. You can still use the information for limited stalking purposes (eg. has the person moved or not), but it's not nearly as useful as knowing their exact location.

Exactly my thoughts looking at the site. It screams affiliate link farm where the only purpose is just to make money from product affiliate links.

While this isn't necessarily bad to make money, it definitely doesn't do anything for a visitor.

After reading the blog post, I was expecting something like consumer reports or some intricate posts, but it's obviously little tid bits of information that looks like it was posted by some virtual assistant he was paying $2 per post or something.
On the "People Nearby" page in the Telegram app it specifically says

Quickly add people nearby who are also viewing this section ...

If a user is not specifically on that page, they are not listed in the section. The user most likely wants the world (or strangers) to know his position.

This case shows precise localization can be a double-edge sword. But instead of fuzzing the returned location, we should educate the people on privacy implications of showing their position to the public.
It does! I guess I was hoping for kind of a more prominent option instead of another section, but that's a nitpick. Nice work again!
I'm the author of that C program. You are correct that the programs are using somewhat different algorithms (and as an author for many other submissions on the site, I can say this is true for many of the benchmarks on the site).

In addition to what you've already mentioned, if I'm not mistaken, the programs also take different multi-threading approaches. One of the tasks in this benchmark involves reversing three very large strings. My C program took a fairly simple approach and does that reversal process for each string serially but processes multiple strings in parallel. The Rust program on the other hand does the opposite and does the reversal process for each string in a parallel manner but only processes strings one at a time. The algorithm the Rust program uses is more complicated which results in a considerably larger program size that also is a bit less flexible regarding the input (it assumes each line of input is 60 characters whereas my program will work with lines of any length) but it results in better CPU utilization, less clock time, and less memory use. I've been meaning to submit a faster C program using this faster algorithm but have simply been too busy with other things.
Does the vaccine prevent transmission?
There was distribution that costed precisely $0 in middle man fees. Software downloaded from the web (if you already have the audience, the distribution costs are marginal on the web).

Then Apple decided to cut it out. And also cripple web apps so they can't even be alternatives properly. Can you build a Mail app on the web? No. Apple didn't add the required features to Safari that developers could build on top of. And Chrome/Firefox/Edge did add them and they work. However on iOS, Apple does not allow them, instead they're forced to use Safari under the hood with Chrome/Google branding sprinkled on top.

Tell me how much publishers pay to distribute on Windows from their websites? Or the WebApps that don't need to be installed? Apple provides little value as a middle man.

The just wanted to be parasite middlemen and they don't deserve to be. They're the mafia.

Go for them under anti-competition clauses. And if there is indication that they have colluded, start trust busting on both. Google is already not trustworthy. They colluded with Facebook already. And Apple colluded to lower wages with other tech companies.

It is entirely reasonable to think that this is anti-competitive and hinders innovation.
I understand everything you said. I meant weaning the US dollar as a reserve currency gradually instead of abruptly. We are already getting some ways there by printing to pay for the massive deficits.

What I meant is that we cannot have our cake and eat it too. If we want to assemble smartphones here, our workers will have to accept the life of those workers. Those workers don't own cars, live in shitty shacks and have no wlb to speak of. But considering that so many people are clamoring for such jobs, maybe that's what we should go for.

The will of the people will not be superceded. Why would we allow legislature to overpower a ballot measure? We voted. The only thing people can be upset about is their lack of educating themselves on what they were voting for in the ballot measure. People cannot be coddled when it comes to their vote. Any undue influence would rot the inside and then why have a democracy?

Honestly, I am going to bet he looses in the end. The US government has unlimited time and will around these things (look at what they did to the mob). Let’s say he steps one foot out of the UK to another country that has an extradition treaty, US issues warrant and it starts all over again. It is likely given the fact that the UK judges only reason for not granting the request was how he would be held that the US government as we speak are drawling up a proposal that would be agreeable to the judge.

Like... Facebook can read all your messages? The encryption only protects you from entities that are not Facebook. With that out of the door, it's not really worth it to even consider other angles of attack, since you now depend on the goodwill of a billion dollar company whose sole purpose and reason for existence is to extract and monetize your data. WhatsApp is a nice chat tool, but it's nothing you should ever use for secure communication. Sending a letter via mail is more safe.

I agree - I hadn't heard of the site, but after reading the OP's blog post I was excited to check it out. However, after finding a bunch of categories I was interested in and opening them in a series of tabs, I started to review them and was disappointed. It just felt like a long list of products, and I felt like it was putting more work on my shoulders, not less.

The site needs more focus. Make some actual recommendations and tell us why we should trust them. I think wirecutter has a good formula for this. I've bought several products after reading wirecutter articles.

I don't know if this has anything to do with google's algorithm, but it did actually feel to me that the site was coming close to the line between "here is some helpful information for you" versus "here are a lot of extra links that will help me get a little bit more revenue".
But would you not be pleased to be certain who killed your dog? It's not a 1:1 concept mapping, but the conceptual space is close enough that the semantic drift of "satisfied" is completely understandable.
If you can ever determine their exact location at any time that you have the data for, you can determine the offset and then determine their exact location at all other times you have data for.

>"I’ve looked at a lot of ballot measures over the years," said Moylan, adding that a two-thirds majority is common.

>But a seven-eighths "super, super, super-duper majority," she said, "is new as far as I’m aware."[1]

It is relatively standard for propositions to include some ways for the legislature to amend the law. It isn't a full legal requirement, but it is common. The a 7/8 majority is nearly impossible to reach on anything but the most milquetoast bills. That requirement was seemingly included so they supporters of the bill could feign that it was flexible while not really conceding any possibility of it being changed. If Prop 22 is going to be amended or repealed, it basically has to be done through the popular vote.

I can't find the feature at the described location either, but apparently if you go to contacts there is a "find people nearby" button. If I click it it asks me to share the location, which I have disabled. So I guess I'm safe?

It's mentioned in this changelog item: https://github.com/Telegram-FOSS-Team/Telegram-FOSS/blob/847...

It usually takes some time for Telegram to be published on F-Droid, so the newest version on F-Droid is 7.2.1 while the newest one on Android is 7.3.1. It might contain such a menu on the newer version like in that screenshot. Or the button only appears at that place if you have enabled location sharing.
Yeah, it actually is.

Currency isn’t supposed to appreciate. If currency does appreciate, everyone has the tendency to stop spending as much as possible because it’ll be worth more tomorrow. This causes the money supply to drop, reinforcing the deflation, and dropping the demand for labor as the real cost of wages rises, triggering more savings as consumers worry about losing their jobs. Oh, and if you have any debt denominated in BTC, it’ll bankrupt you. There’s that too.

This is a classic example of there being no free lunch; you can’t have an economy based on a currency like Bitcoin deflating rapidly without there being serious side effects. The idea that currency could become 1,000% more valuable in a year without those side effects being disastrous is just laughable.

Secondarily, one has to ask why is Bitcoin going up 1000% year over year. Bitcoin isn’t a stock, it can’t generate revenue. It’s a pretty awful currency at 4 transactions a second. So what’s the underlying thing that makes it worth so much in USD? Usually the answer is “something something finite”, but rarity doesn’t confer value, it sure doesn’t look like anyone is actually using it for anything other than speculation.

When you get down to it, it sure looks like the value prop is “it went up a lot in value last year, maybe it’ll do it again”, which sounds extremely bubble like to me.
A discussion is impossible when one side assumes the other is arguing in bad faith. You started from the assumption I need sight to navigate and when I pointed out I don't you doubled down on sanctimoniousness.

Again: why should the needs of the few trump the needs of the many?

but that was in my original comment?

>[...] but if you have a known point of reference (so you can deduce what the offset is) [...]
You're trapped in the present and unable to think of a better future. This is all better horse rhetoric: "horses should be trained to go drink their own water and poop in designated areas just like they can be trained to seek food".

No. The right answer is to deregulate healthcare so that you can buy it from anywhere. You can still have your AMA-certified doctors, but if you can get other doctors as well, you'll be better off.

The reason for that is that while wealthy people like the US middle class worry about the quality of care, everyone below them merely worries about access. Even care that is a fifth as good, if accessible will be superior to inaccessible care that is currently available.
The people downvoting you are likely those you reference. Which is painfully ironic as this comment is should at the top of the thread: work is fundamentally a social endeavour, and if you expect to be promoted, you need to demonstrate the ability to think/talk/socialize/synthesize challenging problems that almost always require cooperation if not collaboration with others.

oh wow. I thought junk food might be involved with such long bouts. But I didn't correlate caffeine with this.

What I wondered originally was, whether sleep deprivation/loss of quality sleep for as little as one week could lead to death.
One way to look at blockchain technology (let's specifically look at Ethereum) is that it's an open source platform for value transfer. It's an even stronger claim than that - it's not like Stripe open sourcing all their code but still running all the servers. Ethereum is an open source platform that is totally permissionless, decentralized, and everyone can join it. In this way, it is similar to the internet itself.

What a major US Federal Regulator just announced is that all banks can use blockchains (like Ethereum) to move value, just like they use Swift or ACH https://www.coindesk.com/occ-banks-stablecoin-payments

As smaller companies now have basically no barrier to entry in the bare metal rails of payments, finally serious innovation in this space can happen outside of heavily financed / licensed / oligopolistic / connected entities. Banks can then voluntarily choose to integrate with one or more open source value transfer networks (blockchains).

Look at USDC https://www.circle.com/en/usdc This is a regulated token fully backed by audited reserves (unlike Tether (USDT)). There will be some banks, such as for international settlement, that will find this technology better than the existing. There will be some people in foreign countries who prefer a cryptocurrency wallet on their phone to paper cash USD or their (corrupt) banking system (Venezuela, Lebanon, etc.).

Even if you are skeptical of blockchain, is it clear to you why this is useful? It's the Linux vs. Windows debate, open source vs. closed source, except in finance and payments.

Finally, just as every API added to the internet increases the value of the platform itself exponentially (network effect), every new tool and smart contract on the Ethereum network increases the value of the whole network to its users. It is an operating system for finance! This is the value proposition of the Ethereum experiment.
Having access to a logged in account is definitely not sufficient evidence for a support team (at Google or anywhere else) to allow for a password reset on that account.

If it was, then someone forgetting to log out on a machine they didn't own could be a much more serious problem than it is. Rather than just temporary access to the account that the true owner has the ability to revoke, it could result in a completely stolen account.
