It may meet the threshold for assault, depending on jurisdiction.

In the U.S., the crime of assault consists of acting as if you are about to hurt someone, including verbal and gestural threats. Actually harming them comes under the umbrella of the separate crime of "battery", hence the phrase "assault and battery".

So yes, if you go to someone else's house, set up a "slicey boi", and behave as if you fully intend to use it, you could be charged with a violent crime.
It remains to be seen if Discord has a long term viable business model or whether it will get dumped like Skype, AIM, etc. when they need to monetise it and users get put off by the attempts.

That said, the move will likely be to the next highly funded product in that case, not back to TS/Mumble.
There's quite a bit of news being published lately about concern on the recent and supposedly upcoming unrest, from "assassinations" to "blowing up data centers".. while enhancing security measures and protocols is reasonable, I wonder how much truth is there in that - who would most benefit from overblowing this risk, and for what purpose?
If you’re planning to take over the most powerful and militarized nation in the history of the world, and only bring a few dozen unarmed people and elect LARPers in viking helmets as leaders then you clearly belong in a mental institution, not in prison.
One thing to consider is that it takes a very long time for the 'cars first' mentality to change. Both in drivers and in planning. Ideally, people who drive a car should also cycle, to know what to expect from bikes. Same for people who plan new roads.

With respect to roundabouts, I'm not sure there is a way to do it right.
I'm not sure what your point is. I'll bet Bezos was plenty concerned about gallows outside his house, but I don't know what that has to do with literally any of this. Is he supposed to send out a memo to employees warning them to be vigilant in case gallows show up outside their houses too, or outside of amazon data centers?
> Complex trials take a long time

Especially when you're dealing with the defendants purposely scuttling evidence of a highly technical nature. The court will not treat this lightly.

It should be possible to block the IPs these Apple wares connect to. Currently the easiest solution I have found is ProtonVPN, which claims to block them - https://protonvpn.com/blog/big-sur-exclusion-list/ .

(Ofcourse, the best solution is to not upgrade macOS and stick with macOS Mojave).
screenshots are acceptable imo.
The protect app will now only work with cloud enabled. Previously you could sign in, then disable cloud, and your session would remain active. It doesn't work at all now with cloud access disabled.
> I don’t have to invite QAnon into my house, and I certainly don’t need to bake QAnon a wedding cake. And neither do AWS, Azure or Digital Ocean.

OK, but first you don't know if it is QAnon and second, are you also allowed not to bake wedding cake for a black couple, or maybe for Jewish one?

It is your freedom, right? So where is the line you can't cross?
For me it is: if you open business you have to deal with everyone, sorry. If you don't like it, don't open a business.

You just need to follow the law, if courts say that "you can't sell wedding cakes to QAnon" you follow that, but until there is such law...
Correct - The primary benefit is Consistency, but I often wonder if something with 1% chance of going to zero can be considered consistent.
That excessive. Installing a lock to which the building owner owns a key is still an improvement over not installing a lock at all.

There's a difference between "All your connections are wide open, so any malicious or compromised software can connect to the web" and "Apple can connect to the web, so you have to decide whether to trust Apple."

I mean, if you're on a mac and you don't trust Apple not to be secretly keylogging your passwords or something, I think a firewall isn't going to help you.

That's unpopular in part because it's extremely regressive. The amount you will have to change your life is going to be directly related to how wealthy you are. The rich are unlikely to change. They'll simply pay more and move on, or dodge it by refueling and shopping in other countries. The middle class will have some adjustments. Maybe running the heat less, maybe they trade in their SUV for a sedan, maybe they vacation less. They'll get by fine.

The poor will be utterly destroyed by this. Their cars are often the worst polluters because they're old (and may have had the catyllitic converter stolen in a bad neighborhood). Food costs will go up due to increased transportation costs (and possibly packaging costs, if suitable green replacements can't be found). Their homes are extremely unlikely to have modern, energy efficient upgrades (things like windows, more modern insulation, even sealing around windows might be bad). Their appliances are likewise unlikely to be modern and energy efficient. And supply and demand is not a good answer. If it was, no one would be living in those anyways. No one wants to live with a draft, but sometimes your options are a drafty apartment in a bad part of town, or a drafty apartment in a worse part of town.

I do think it's doable, but it needs to be a lot more nuanced than "tax fossil fuels until people cave". That foists most of the problem onto the people with the least means to change.
If your algorithm is designed perfectly, without the need for human intervention, and it proceeds to do shitty things, you are still responsible for said shitty things.

Just search "kill Trump" you only need to scroll a bit before you see threats to murder the president.
RocketChat looks very nice, and they claim to also have audio/video calls.

And there is also Android app! Nice, thanks for sharing!
I actually can't understand, what's happening. In Poland Its still work great
I have the exact same issue with Signal, which is sad, because it's perfect except for the lack automatic and encrypted cloud backup.
> If people can't delay gratification for something as inconsequential as "non-broken video games"

This doesn't make sense. The game was announced 8 years ago, and it was delayed 8 months. The company said the product was ready and they published a product that was not ready. I've delayed my gratification 8 years for it.
The comment I was replying to mentioned groups protesting all over America. It was not a direct reference to the events in DC. If we're talking about groups holding protests, this is not terrorism.
I've been looking for that essay for years, but apparently my google-fu is weak. Thanks for posting it!
To me, the difference between cronyism vs trusted VPs is simply whether they were successful or not in the long run.

And you're right, you lose _lots_ of brilliant talent when the helm changes hands.

I think what's helpful is to imagine you are that exec going in to a new position of a large org, 26,000 people, say Chief Marketing Officer. A few know you, but there are a lot of new faces who now have to call you boss and answer to your directions whether they agree or not. You now have to convince each major head that what you're doing is the right thing. How long does it take to build that level of trust? Typically years and a few large projects won. Some of those heads have been around for a long time and don't like the way you do things.

If you want to be effective, you don't have much time to figure out who is toxic, who is simply lazy, who resists your leadership. Some resist openly, but most behind closed doors by dragging things, sowing discord. etc etc. You clearly can't keep everyone - it doesn't do any good.

At a certain level trust and speed make up for brilliance. Just like hard work/grit can close a gap of genius.

Again, I agree with you - lots of good guys are lost. So many times at the detriment of the company, but that means the outgoing leader picked the wrong successor.

Separately I enjoy this topic. Its our human condition laid bare.
Pretty secret, it's easy to make shell companies to disguise who actually owns and operates the building. My job we have no external markings on our IT building so customers don't get confused and try to come manage their 401k there instead of our retail locations.
This kind of thing is why I have always been very sceptical towards encrypted home directories, and have always advocated for full disk encryption.
It has some IRC stylings in the UI with the #channels etc. but it's not IRC.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Twitch?
It's a lot of fun! It would be awesome to have an option to see where the line of symmetry is to help draw more accurately
Presumably the threat isn't a targeted attack by Amazon, but rather that the the hardware mute will get 'value engineered' away in the future to save money.
I'd be careful with us pretending one of these groups is less violent or more dangerous than the other. The right just got done making that same logical mistake. It's a long way to the bottom when you claim the high ground.
The State of FOSS in India
I don't want to defend that. I want to instead ask, what would the damage be if members of Congress were killed? I think the long-term damage would be much, much worse.
That is (hopefully) happening this time.

It's worth pointing out that a lot of other countries on Earth have laws that prohibit hate speech. Quite a few countries have libel laws, too. The US does not have either of those at the federal level, making it much more difficult to use the law to stop people from inciting violence and spreading blatant lies.
No, it is a deliberate business decision - they are moving towards converting the macOS into a closed sytem like ios.
The answer is “nobody”. Giving credence to fringe conspiracy theories is actively damaging society and you should consider weighing probabilities of explanations from multiple points of view before committing to one, certainly before typing a comment online.
Didn't Whatsapp start out like that?
You’re right! Sloppy and I stand corrected. Unfortunately I cannot edit my original post.
> In case of whatsapp and keeping chat history it can mean years of chat history becoming public if for example your Apple / Google account (where whatsapp automatically stores your conversation backups) gets hacked.

IIRC the backups aren't stored in plaintext. They are encrypted with a key known to the device and whatsapp. The key is restored to a new device by whatsapp after SMS authentication.

Hence only a Google Drive compromise will not lead to full chat history compromise. That also requires something like a Sim Swap attack.
Id be willing to bet discord makes more gross profit from nitro sales in one week than TS/Vent make in a year, combined.
Yeah it's relatively common for companies to restrict and even claim any individual IP as their own.

What were these people armed with?
I mean, the mRNA vaccine would work by producing specific parts of the virus so as to allow the body to mount an immune response, just like the Covid version does... So yes, you would expect HIV antibodies to be produced.

Personally, I think most people care more about having vaccines for diseases like HIV than worrying about what anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists believe.
I'm thinking about setting it up in podman, matrix is something I will check, though I must say after seeing NextCloud I might try that first, it looks very similar to Whatsapp (at least on screenshots I could see). This is something my older family members are familiar using so it would be easier for them to switch.
It's amazing to me how many comments here (even here) see this as a Liberal conspiracy. Even after the capitol and years of trump bring crazy and and a full ratified, court approved election.

> Google Talk's usage of XMPP was more of an Embrace, Extend, Extinguish than _actual_ adoption.

That would have been an actual strategy, and probably would have worked, but from what I could tell they just sort of fumbled around without really committing.

As I recall, the Embrace was half-hearted, the implementation was pretty standard with no Extensions, and they never really got around to an Extinguish phase, they eventually just phased out support for XMPP clients at all.

The only way I think Google's incoherence of multiple overlapping stabs at messaging over many years makes sense is as internal maneuvering and jockeying for position among execs playing chess with the various engineering teams and end users as pawns.
Wikileaks used to accept donations by credit card, then they got cut off for political reasons.

However, to this day many companies accept credit card payments. So those companies must have made peace with the possibility of being cut off for political reasons.
Governments run on $$$$. Look at the amount that goes into lobbying and PACs. Look at Citizens United. Social power is what can cut the money. Also, maybe these companies don't want a country run by literal Nazis.
yeah - that really would be challenging...the data streams would have to be checked for compliance with local law in both directions, in real time?

Of course, that's assuming they could ever agree on a protocol. :-P
Well, it's negative gamma from the MM's perspective (this is ultimately what they're being paid to provide in a purely Black-Scholes sense). It's less about whether gamma is positive or negative because that just depends on which side of the trade you're looking at.

The simple reason is that like delta, gamma is also not constant. Gamma is our derivative of delta with respect to underlying, but there exists another measure called speed which is the derivative of gamma with respect to underlying (gamma of gamma). This is normally distributed around the strike price of the option, so as you deviate from the strike, the gamma of an option decreases which means that MM hedging decelerates as you move away from the strike. It also means that MM hedging accelerates as you approach the strike. Convexity cuts both ways.

Let's say a MM is short a $100 call in some asset X. When we are below $100, any move towards $100 means we have to buy increasing amounts of X in order to remain delta neutral. This pushes prices towards $100. But as we move through $100 this force decelerates. So let's presume that market momentum takes us to $110, at this point, a $1 drop to $109 results in more selling than an increase to $111 results in buying. These forces can become self fulfilling whereby the selling that we have to do when we drop from $110 to $109 contributes to downward pressure and pushes us to $108. And recall that our hedging accelerates as we move towards the strike. So we have to sell even more now than we did before, which further contributes to downward momentum. This pressure peaks at $100 at which point is starts to decelerate again, providing a natural tendency to revert to high OI strikes where there is substantial outstanding gamma.
I think Discord has always used it's own thing (or at least I've never heard of this).

Twitch, on the other hand, did used to use a very heavily customized version of IRC for it's chat. Not sure if it still does.

My conclusions are based on data. Which further fuels the confusion. We can engage in an endless argument on who’s data is garbage and who’s is not
That kind of latency is routine for scrapers and archivers, and of course any time you click on message replies you get the most recent ones at the top. This doesn't seem so weird to me.

Are you saying the post was deliberately fabricated to provoke outrage? It's really not that far out of the realm of what really was happening on Parler. That doesn't mean it was a concrete threat, but assuming that Amazon is deliberately inventing threats against its own data centers seems a bit much.

I just... I mean I don't understand what's happening to discourse on the right of the US political spectrum right now. Our capitol was just sacked. The Oregon state house was invaded. The governor of Michigan was the target of a kidnapping plot... But everyone wants to pretend that none of these things should inform our priors about the potential for right wing violence?
I think the way GP said it is pretty good.

That's not the right mode of thinking. If you have an idle or underutilized workforce you want to put it to work because you are wasting it's productive output if it does nothing. Worse, it will start revolting if it has nothing better to do.

This isn't exactly a claim based in reality. Republicans get most of their vote from poorer non-coastal rural communities. Elites (educated, professionals, academics, tech workers, ...) vote Democrat.

> Note that the person who buys the 1-year devices every year pays 10x the "externality fees" as the person who buys the 10-year device.

That may not be clear at time of purchase though. You could express this as an estimated rate per year, though. Both devices have a $50 externality fee. One has a 1 year warranty, 1 has a 10 year warranty, so the first has a $50/year externality and the second has a $5/year externality. Doing it by warranty period also helps prevent claiming a device should last much longer than it does.
I believe this is saying that they run it on hardware that they own rather than a cloud provider.

However if they have good e2e encryption this should be a very minor benefit as I'm not trusting the operator anyways.
The economy cares very much about this virus. The stock market does not. The disconnect between the two is yet another sign of how vast the inequality gap is at the moment.
> Government's don't just rule by hard power; they also rule by soft power.

I guess it depends on if you see this as being driven from the top down or bottom up. Personally, I think it's bottom up but mostly I think its from within companies like Salesforce and Amazon.

Also, do you really think it was Parler's politics that was the problem? I think you know that's not the case.
I've been working at a multi-national corporation for the last 5 years (and a little more) and your description fits perfectly with what I observed. Also, sometimes the execs leave a couple of years after they start/initiate a new project (before it finishes) presumably using that as their achievement point (although the project they started isn't even finished and eventually fizzles out once they move to the new company) in their CV to their new employer. After seeing that for 2-3 times, I realized that some of these upper management people only start these overly-ambitious (impossible) initiatives just to gear up for their eventual move.
Merkel's view might be interpreted as pro-free speech at a glance, but the corollary of what she's saying is that no single entity should wield as much power as Facebook, Twitter, and Google at all. It's to be interpreted in the sense that additional legislative weight should be put behind disrupting the quasi-monopolistic dominance of these entities.
I'm not letting my kid watch any Disney. They're just content marketing for merch and theme parks.
> As much as I support this pure democratic view

Honestly I really struggle to see why this would even be 'democratic'. There's a pretty strong and convincing argument that it would be better if Twitter hadn't blocked Trump, but the notion that the government should be allowed to force at gunpoint a private entity to amplify speech that such entity disagrees with doesn't strike me as particularly democratic.

I get it, Twitter bad, I agree. But the implications of this idea are frankly much scarier than any "corporate decision" will ever be.
Sorry Teamspeak, but you lost me already. Back about 7 years ago when I spent more time online with friends in school, we tried to use Teamspeak multiple times, but the audio quality was always awful. We didn't like Skype either, but the audio was still better, so we dealt with the bloat. Discord is king in my mind, without question. Being electron based makes it a bit heavy, but I can spare 200MB on my machine for some damn good chat and call.
Please don't misread. This is not about who can read the encrypted drive. It is more basic than that.

Apple locked us out of device we paid for. We just wanted to use it again completely wiping it off. Random Harry working for Apple can do that but we as legitimate owners can't.

So with respect to owning vs renting argument, How I am owning the device?
