Can someone explain to me what use case I'm missing? Why do people care about old messages?

Personally I just read incoming message and never "scroll back".
This attitude towards cyclists is somewhat universal outside a few cycling-friendly countries, it is not US specific by any means.

Cyclists are always seen as a nuisance, since they block the road for the "real" traffic. Cycling lanes are also somewhat rare outside the Netherlands and Denmark, so bikes and cars almost always share the road.

I have a particular pet peeve, which is the term "cycling city". I see it everywhere because it is sexy to proclaim that bikes are on your priority list as mayor/government. As an example, in Manchester (UK) the mayor has proclaimed that Manchester will be a cycling city, yet bike lanes are rarely included in new projects. There was a redevelopment for one of the larger streets in Manchester, obviously without _any_ consideration for bikes.

If you want cycling cities, there are a few scattered around Europe, but nothing compared to the Netherlands and Denmark. The rest is just bs.
They're doing it to prevent spam I'd guess.
Engineers, with contracts or not, have about 2200-2500 hours to spend per year. Those hours can presumably be allocated to this task (that doesn't add any new capability) or to a task that adds capabilities (which will bring in new revenue).
I'm not even sure what you are arguing. Things are not "bad full stop". The article pretty clearly points out that for large swaths of the economy things are absolutely just fine, that in aggregate things are just fine, that aggregate measures of debt and savings are both looking quite rosy.

A few months down the line literally all of the economic issues will be better off as quarantines are lightened, as things reopen and new businesses are created to replace the old. The actual issue is going to be what society does with our national debt one day including the 3T we assumed as part of our stimulus for this one pandemic. This is not a "few months away" problem but a few decades away problem.
So you're basically implying that private companies shouldn't have a right to moderate content or ban users on their websites without a court order? I don't see how this would be fundamentally different from, for example, requiring newspapers to publish every letter their receive irregardless of their editorial stance.

The real problem is that the market is dominated by a couple of huge companies that have disproportionate power and can pretty much do whatever they want without the risk of losing significant numbers of users. I don't see how legally requiring them to be content neutral can fix that, even if Twitter can't just remove your posts or ban you I'm sure they'll manage to find legal ways to make your content virtually invisible if they want to without directly removing it.

A funny semi-related story: soviet semiconductor industry existed mainly (>90%) by copying western chips layer-by-layer, which, ofcourse, included microcode. When „soviet“ calculator produced an error, it would display „error“ on 8seg display. This „strangeness“ was explained in manuals that «ЕГГОГ» (which is error transliterated using cyrillic and is an absolutely nonsense gibberish in russian language) „is a special codeword to indicate an error condition“ :)
Messages are not always transactional right? They can also be emotional and heartfelt. Some people like to revist such messages.
First of all we don't know the details here: quite possibly this could be one of the following (non-exhaustive): either a overzealous and politically motivated MAGA moderator who thought that barring Ron Paul could be a great way to make a point and cause a backlash that swings the pendulum back to giving conspiracy nuts a free rein again. Or, a politically ignorant moderator that wanted to score some points for achieving a perceived but misunderstood, objective. Or, an automated response to a coordinated flood of reports by an anti-libertarian brigade. Or, an automated response to a flood of comments calling for the execution of the VP, a flood of pornographic pictures by a community brigade or the like. Or, it could be a conscious effort by top brass on FB to punish Ron Paul on their platform for criticizing tech censorship. Out of which the last one seems the least probable, but in lieu of an official and forthright response from FB everyone is free to speculate wildly.

But agree, it is ironic that Ron Paul complains about it. It is almost as if he really wants FB to behave like a public utility type service. Maybe it's time they did.
It is in my opinion.

Social Media in its current state is to show people something emotional to drive engagement. And then drives that idea to the logical conclusion of grouping people with others that will feed off of each other, to further those emotions and engagement. Literally designed to drive each user into finding an abusive relationship to addict themselves to.

This also means that those Social Media sites are the sites responsible for sorting the vulnerable into easy to find groups. So that people who would exploit such groups have easy access to finding their victims.
Maybe those platforms can start charging subscriptions then and donate to progressive PACs.
Wow, great insight indeed! I do feel really afraid to ever ride my bike with my Dutch attitude outside the Netherlands now, especially without a helmet as everybody normally does here... Wow, "punishment passes", how inhuman!

Edit: I looked into it a bit more, apparently videos of our prime-minster on his bike went viral! [0], how funny for such a normal thing. The dutch comments are pretty telling indeed:

- "Up next: Karel (56) bumped his toe"

- "Wow, he's almost like a real human, right?"

Well, you can read the Wayland book, for instance: https://wayland-book.com/

Of course, security is subject to implementation details. But as far as I know, the protocol is sound, and I can't recall vulnerabilities.

How each implementation handles theirs is up to them. At least, we have multiple implementations of the protocol. With X, not so much.
I’ve posted this on another thread, but i’ve built a home heating oil tank monitor. http://myoilguage.com/ I can see oil usage since I started monitoring, but I also get an email at end of every day to tell me oil level in tank without having to actually be at the oil tank. This does several things, 1 it allows me to understand how much oil I actually burn and 2 allows me to not be locked into an oil delivery provider, which usually saves up to 60 cents per gallon. Quite handy when one burns through 1700 gallons per year.

Network slicing and Edge computing can change that.

It is possible to have all military traffic either terminate at the edge of the military (for example a 5G installation at an army camp) or use a dedicated slice (fully isolated from the normal user traffic) to reach a trusted cloud. Usually, they use both at the same time, so if the connection to the trusted cloud is lost, you rely on the edge cloud.

As far as I know, NATO has several such projects.

> I wanted to argue against the 'Europeans are supercilious' comment, but this comment doesn't help. Dutch people do know that the extent of their bike lanes and infrastructure is incredible.

Yet you will find many Dutchmen in this thread, including the comment you're replying to, that express that this is the first time in their lives they've given it thought.

One of the many reasons I favor the skateboard over the bicycle — it joins me in the train.

Well I have never been at a London train station. I've been at Belgian, German, and French ones, and I did not notice any particular difference that stood out.

> Lin wood had a call to execute pence up for over a week. Not till apple threatened to remove Parler from the store was it deleted.

I don't think it should have been deleted at all. Let concerned citizens sue Lin wood (whoever that is) and present his threat as evidence. Why should we expect people's words to be deleted from a public platform?

If nobody sued him, or went to the police, maybe it wasn't a real threat. Or maybe it wasn't illegal. Who are we to judge? Let the "neighbors" take it to the police and to the courts.

I really wish today's social platforms functioned like Slashdot. Their philosophy was to never delete anything posted by users, unless compelled by a court of law. That's the right thing to do.
Yes I have a 1972 VW Beetle, and a 2016 VW Beetle. I can safely say that the former is far simpler and also doesn't require a computer to diagnose or repair. It also doesn't have any firmwares that I can't update, eg. the bluetooth controller in the modern Bug, or the stereo. I can't enable the telephone button on my steering wheel without paying VW. I can't enable Android Auto without paying VW £200 here in the UK. (They couldn't even get it to work when I asked them to).

As for the mechanical components of the car - the modern Bug is a diesel (non-PD) so has a common rail fuel system. I can read fault codes with the OBD2 mechanism but not everything is accessible.

Both tremendous fun but the modern one is 100 times more complex and I would struggle to maintain it single-handedly. But I don't feel the need to reduce the modern car or "fix" the issue of its complexity simply because it is more complex.

My wife has a Mini that has developed a fault but who knows what sensor has failed according to the OBD2 codes?! I don't feel the need to "fix" that and reduce it to the old 1991 Mini Cooper I had (which had its own set of baffling problems, like in-line fuses for important things like the injector but a fuse box for non-essential things like the interior light..... but that's another story).
> But, may anyone reasonably assume that centralized data has any protection against intelligence agencies at the end of the day?

To save myself from vague, inchoate paranoia about them I prefer to concretize such speculation. What is and is not possible?

General rule: don't give anyone data you care about keeping secret or private unless you have a clear understanding of their security procedures.

I assume any data I hand over to any organization is available to anyone else, particularly a mafia or government, unless extraordinary, auditable measures are taken: e2e encryption, open-source, 2fa, etc and the organization has an incentive to keep its clients data safe and/or secret. I trust my personal bank to keep my data safe from the mafia, but I also trust that it will hand over data to law enforcement if warranted. I doubt the NSA has a dashboard that can just look up my spending habits but maybe? I'm not really worried about their looking at my grocery bills, personally, more the effect of unlimited surveillance on society as a whole

It's unpopular because you're doing harm by perpetuating this behaviour. Lots of things make sense when viewed from the right context (f.e. genocide as a "solution" to world hunger), but that doesn't tell you anything about why it's seen as undesirable behaviour.
Long Term Installment
Sometimes it gets absurd. You can hardly buy any modern laptop with a hardware camera switch. It's as if laptop manufacturers were completely blind what number of people uses a hardware solution in order to render their laptop cameras unusable when they want it. The same group of people would love to be able to do the same with their built-in mics (not just in laptops, but also phones). We're not talking about clueless folks but all kinds of people, including tech-aware ones like Zuckerberg. Nevertheless, mobile device manufacturers remain deaf and pretend the problem doesn't exist. And Librem is the exception that proves the rule.
>What is weirdest about this whole thing is that Trump remains one of the most speech empowered people in the world

Most people I know don't like Trump at all but are deeply concerned with the coordinated censorship and narrative campaign being waged by the tech monopolies, banks, payment processors and other corporations. Thoughtful people understand that this incredible, unaccountable power to erase people from society is incredibly dangerous in a democracy, even if there are many, less intelligent people, who are okay with it because right now they perceive this awesome power as being used against their perceived political.
Maybe because real political independence of European and similar countries is too small? This leads to military, technological, and ecnomicall dependence as well. Until recently, this dependence was not a big problem, but as situation in the US started to slowly deteriorate it started to show more and more drawbacks.

The other country in addition to China with a certain level of political independence is Russia and it's also quite sensitive about nurturing its national infrastructure. It got certain level of success here, though due to its economic capabilities and population size, it's far from China's level (e.g. they don't have viable YouTube and Twitter competitiors). The other country which could fit here is India, but I am not familiar enough with its national IT infrastructure.

Not really... I mean sure you can make an argument about the mechanics of a business being the same. But how you do actually position an organization to build products that people actually want to buy? That is a non-trivial problem that has very different answers depending on industry, depending on maturity of both the company and the industry itself, depending on sales model and competitive landscape. Successful business leadership needs to make the right strategic decisions and that is not a trivial problem.

I just don't think US _companies_ should morph into 'national' anything..

1) Good question. There's a tendency for implied vols to be higher than realised, so you'll tend to lose money holding options. This is a central element in Taleb's Black Swan stuff. The people he was talking about were people like me, and I actually met him in the office for a chat about options stuff once. Basically if you're incentivized to be short gamma, some traders will act on that and blow up now and again.

2) I think so, firms I worked for threw around a fair few index futures to hedge. quantifying it isn't too easy though. A lot depends on how close you are to the strike and the expiry.

3) You can't avoid looking at open interest, but I guess you can weight it by the gamma.

4) Vanna is a cross greek of vol and price. The other missing piece is interest rates, and from that you can imagine a zoo of greeks. But mainly it's the connection between vol and price that matters, there's a slidey thing you use to move the volatility surface when the price moves.

I guess if I were you I'd scrape all the open interest info and see about the relative size of presumed gamma to liquidity in the market. It's a bit of an exercise.

Or stuff like "remember when you told me X?" - just to have evidence to clear things up, or to be able to refer to conversations in the distant past from time to time.

Ans: Yeah, we're working on it!

Q: Hi, is it possible to backup chat history?

Ans: Thanks, we know this is a big deal and think about it a lot. We're working on ways to do it that would be privacy preserving...

Q: These things would really make the experience for my family and I complete

To wear a tinfoil hat for a moment:

> The SOC (system on chip) controller seems to be connected to the flip flop resets

> The 'mute' button appears to be very real and functional. When the button glows 'red' the power is removed from the microphones.

Does the microphone take any time to boot up? How far could a malicious SoC get by toggling "reset" on and off very fast? If you toggle the microphone on and off at 96kHz with e.g. a 1% duty cycle, then you'd be able to sample the level from the microphone at 96kHz, and the LED would still be glowing at 99% of its usual current (which would be visually indistinguishable from 100%). This would allow the SoC to record audio at full quality, and still leave the LED glowing.
