Ben Thompson had a good comparison of messaging apps [1, $] yesterday. He ranked them as follows:

1. Signal
Signal encrypts your messages end-to-end, and does not back up your messages to either iCloud or its own servers. This is the most secure option (and also the option most likely to lead to data loss or getting locked out of your own account — it’s a tradeoff!).

2. WhatsApp
WhatsApp encrypts your messages end-to-end (with the same protocol as Signal), and does not back up your messages to its own servers. By default it does not back up messages to iCloud either, but that is an option. If you enable that option then your messages can be accessed by Apple (who has the keys for iCloud backups) and, by extension, law enforcement with a warrant.

3. (tie) Telegram
Telegram does not end-to-end encrypt messages by default; they are stored on Telegram’s servers where they are secured by Telegram’s keys, which means they can also be accessed by law enforcement with a warrant. However, you can turn on end-to-end encryption for one-to-one conversations (but not for channels).

4. (tie) Facebook Messenger
Messenger does not end-to-end encrypt messages by default; they are stored on Facebook’s servers and can be accessed by Facebook and, by extension, law enforcement. However, like Telegram, you can enable end-to-end encryption for one-to-one conversations.

5. iMessage
iMessage encrypts messages end-to-end by default; however, if you have iCloud backup turned on, your messages can be accessed by Apple (who has the keys for iCloud backups) and, by extension, law enforcement with a warrant. Unlike WhatsApp, though, this is both on by default and cannot be turned off on a granular basis.

Google 'throwing its weight around' by burying links to some news sites
I'm helping to deploy the Mainnet for Ultra.io, a Steam competitor.
I'm also working on a todo app, mentioned elsewhere in this thread, and I see the same problems you do. Good luck with yours!
Why do I need to go to Stack Overflow? Being sympathetic I would say that because the Node JS Installer makes the assumption that you know what the PATH environment variable is and you know how directories work.

Why do I need to fire up the terminal? Your OS doesn't do things via GUI like you do, so you need to validate that what it needs is available in the manner it will use.

Too damn hard and too opaque.? How did you learn that Node js was even a thing? You weren't born with the knowledge and everything has a learning curve to it, very few things are truly easy to do starting at the very bottom.

I agree that things need documentation and onboarding. I think we can view the Node js docs similar to a shop manual at a auto repair shop - it will expect you to know what tools are what and how to do certain things.
This guy is a clear bitcoin maximalist and is making exceptions saying that anything is good for PoW and taking that same thing and saying it's bad for PoS.
It’s meant for a worst-case scenario. Of course if we somehow happen to keep ourselves together and progressing technologically we’ll look back at ourselves in the 21st century as buffoons who created highly valuable materials and buried it as waste.
It seems like your frustration is over the name of the list, and you would prefer it is listed as "The greatest books of Western Civilization". Is that an accurate assessment if the title was different you would be fine with it?

It isn't what people are search for either, the organic volume on that search phrase is through the roof.
The ingredients do not have the same density, therefore it will not work to go from a volume-based to a mass-based measurement system by simply replacing the unit.
I'm guessing it's selection bias on your part, but that may be selection bias on my part.
When you buy mining power you are bringing money in to gain influence. There's literally no difference so I'm led to believe there's a bias making you think there is.

To be fair, fully half of the top ten books were not written in English. Non-Indo-European languages can be translated just as well as French and Russian can.
It worked better than intended! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=512280.

I don't think the two cases are comparable really. One was a uniting move while the other turned out to be a dividing move, though we didn't mean it that way. I bet if we appealed to HN to band together against some Redditesque adversary today, it would work just as well as it did back then.
This approach is really exciting if Apple successfully implemented in Apple's way.
There are install shields and tutorials for this. He's right, most tooling sucks and require arcane incantations. They do allow later flexibility though.

Steve Jobs if he was a programmer would slam today's tooling.

No; however, drivers are pretty easily portable among the distros. The differences are mostly userspace details and driver selection. I can't imagine they have difficulty navigating their own setups.

As an American who has lived abroad, I honestly will never understand this attitude. I sympathize, but honestly if I went into a .com.au forum and complained because the people there were talking about Australian politics, I'd be ridiculed mercilessly. And for good reason.

It's the same as if you complained that we're all writing in English, and you'd prefer that we didn't. Porque todos los articulos y comentarios estan en ingles?!? Debemos tener mas contenido en español! Es un comunidad global, no?! La gente aqui asuma que todos los lectores son anglos? Es un barbaridad!

Oh, wait. No it isn't. HN is an American website hosted on American servers catering to Americans and there is NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. You're insinuating there is and requesting the mods act accordingly. I disagree.

Seriously, I don't speak for the mods, but I don't recall it being stated anywhere that HN "serves the global community". In fact I just double checked the FAQ. It doesn't. HN has mostly been a site meant to cater to Silicon Valley tech startups for as long as I've been using it.

Let me know when ycombinator.com.au is up and running and we'll join you there and not talk about American laws. Until then...
As motherboard designers and HFT firms will tell us.
FWIW I've often thought of building a cold storage cloud for this type of stuff. Basically the same functionality of [api, web gui, etc] that everyone has except, files need to be requested and may take some time to become hot/available to the user. It's really just because I think it's silly that the only reason I pay $100+/year to my provider is because I have some archived videos/photos that put me over their free limit. I never touch those files but don't want get rid of them either (I realize I could store myself but them I'm the one responsible if they get lost :))
Thanks!

Wish you all the best in your app, I think a touch of css would change it drastically (I'm sure it's on your list)
With all respect Doctor, but I'd rather not. Could you say you or all your peers would gladly do so in my place? What do you imagine the outcome would be?

For whatever it's worth, the testing and arrangements were to solidify method and location, whereas the timing still remains uncertain, caused by me being the fool that I am. But I can reasonably guarantee you will not be affected in either case; at some point you'll scarcely remember this conversation and soon enough you'll have forgotten it in it's entirety as just another post on the internet. So best not to think on it.
Australian politics has been pretty boring of late.

While not as polarising as a Jim Jordan or Ted Cruz, people like Christopher Pyne and Paul Keating made Australian politics mildly interesting. We seem to have two very centrist parties right now which is a welcome change.
This is true. It's also one of the reasons that search phrase is cluttered with lists that look startlingly like this one.
That would work if the interests of social media platforms are aligned with the interests of its users, but that is not the case. Rather, social media platform interests are aligned with their monetization vectors. This is a classic agent problem.
>The author appears to have conflated "Linux" with the "kernel"

I don't think he conflated it (in his mind). In the post he's quite clear which is which.

He probably just reused an ARM Linux example code (probably from his book), made some changes required for macOS ARM, but forgot to change the name of the kernel.

I'm still in validation step, wanted to know if people are interested in such service before I jump in to development.

Honestly I just wanted to dive into development and dealing with code, but if I want a proper product I need to validate it first and I need to deal with people and make them top priority rather than my personal interest in coding :)
> The Intercept definitely did not try to suppress anything.

I'm a little surprised by that response. It's so easy to check.

https://greenwald.substack.com/p/emails-with-intercept-edito...

"It would be unfortunate and detrimental to The Intercept for this story to be published elsewhere." --Betsy Reed

So that is stating very clearly: No we won't publish it. No you can't publish it elsewhere.

Now the rest is kind of separate but relevant.

For what it's worth now that the election is done, nobody actually disputes the content of those emails and that they are genuine. Do they? I've missed that if so. I don't think the Bidens ever suggested they were forged, which would have killed the story pretty quick. But that is an /entirely/ separate discussion. Hatchet job? Well that's an opinion and I don't think so at all. I think Hunter Biden's conduct was always going to be an issue for Joe and that it will be again. There's not a lot of doubt in /my/ mind that Hunter Biden has been paid large sums for something that isn't the honest, fair value work he has done. Maybe he took the money that was paid for the sake of that appearance and that's all he did? If his last name was Johnson and his father was a moderately successful professional he's not getting those jobs and that money. It STINKS. And you can hate trump and still have that stench penetrate your preference for "not Trump."

Make of the story Greenwald wrote what you will. There's been plenty of opportunity to falsify it and discredit it. Maybe that's still coming? I want to see it if so. It's certainly something we should know about if so. Something is not right there.

The idea that it should not be published is, well, not something I'd agree with any more than I'd agree that the NYT should not have published Trump's tax returns.

In my view Glenn has integrity. That means something. I don't doubt he would have written a similar story if the facts related to any powerful politician. Trump, McConnell, Pelosi, anyone. Do you?

> "we haven't built a nuclear power plant in 40 years" to "we could build 10 at a time continuously for the next half-century" in a convincing way?

The same way we were like let's go to the moon, build the transcontinental railroad or some nuclear bombs. Everything is a hell of a lot easier and possible if you have alignment.

As with most technical projects, the technical problem is usually not the barrier to achievement.
Tesla and Boeing appear to do the same...
You pretty much just explained why they're right and how it's not built in bitcoin.

Definitely not a fan how you're trying to bend reality for marketing benefits.
Absolutely, but even within the states I suspect that a lot of things relating to zoning, taxes, etc, vary.

I hear people talk about "Proposition XXX" restricting "stuff", and I wonder if other Americans from different parts of the country would even know what that was.

"This is the most important slide in the entire talk. So, if you want to leave after this slide, I will not be offended, because it is all downhill from here."

https://youtu.be/oTugjssqOT0?t=1256 (Timestamped link of the "Time Management" talk by Randy Pausch, which is what the OP PDF is from)

That part in the talk is about the "Eisenhower Matrix", popularized by Steven Covey in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", on the importance of prioritizing important, non-urgent tasks over urgent, unimportant tasks.

You can read about it here as well, but I haven't seen it put as well as Randy Pausch did in his talk. https://evernote.com/blog/work-effectively-with-the-eisenhow...

PS If you haven't seen his "Last Lecture", it's also fantastic. I watch it about once a year to re-center myself, and remember to focus on the truly important things in life. https://youtu.be/ji5_MqicxSo
Here is another example of a project or feature users did not use at all, or used less than was expected / wished for. This one is from a Google Talk:

Relay nodes are unobjectionable. Nothing interesting happens as far as your neighbours are concerned, traffic passes in and out of your node, but that's true for any number of application protocols of no interest.

However the comment you're replying to talks about exit nodes, these are potentially obnoxious for your neighbours, as from them of course emerges traffic that somebody else didn't want to admit to sending.

Now, perhaps it's a young gay guy in a country where homosexuality is illegal, reading an essay by someone who has been in a similar situation.

Or a fourteen year old looking at pornography bypassing a "family filter"

But more likely it's vandals trying to replace every mention of a pop star they don't like on Wikipedia with the words "Jerk Poop-head", a spammer sending piles of unsolicited commercial email, or a botnet operator trying to send C&C packets to direct a DDoS.

For this you will of course get blocked by various services, and explaining it isn't actually you might prevent getting arrested in many jurisdictions, but won't mean everybody lets you use their services from this obviously tainted connection.

So, doing that on your personal ISP connection is probably a bad idea.
I believe its sugar and caffeine which are so popular in today's world. Caffeine and sugar both raise cortisol which leads to decreased testosterones levels.

Not for twitter, but on a european reddit: Starting at about the refugee "crisis", I have seen regularly postings using the following script:

- newly created account (or, in the more sophisticated variants, an account created some time ago with a few meaningless postings)
- ask for help, or ask a question to distract from the actual goal
- somewhere in the text, throw in some association that should stick (like "refugees steal", or "refugees sexually assault woman", as a fact that doesn't need discussion)
- when confronted, the only answers were contentless excuses, like "but I am really asking this for my mother, who can't use a computer". Never any attempt to engage in actual discussion.

The reaction to these is that people usually address the question, don't address the baseless association, which probably then starts to stick in the unconsciousness of at least some of them.

And on the political side, at the same time there was an increase in support for extremist and nationalist, anti-foreigner parties.

Though of course how much such messages contribute to that is difficult to say.
Maybe it's related to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_field_entoptic_phenomenon .
I tried to make meringue from aquafaba while it worked it tasted awful because of the salty beany taste. Since then I gave up hopes of saving aquafaba for something.
That's pretty much a click track. It works, but it's a bit boring that way. You can't make phrasing choices as freely.
Honestly, I like the idea, although I'd prefer a pure L2 for security rather than a sidechain, which is what this appears to be. Unfortunately, I don't think this is a tech problem. How do you get the devs to move en masse from Ethereum back to BTC? The network effects are just so enormous, it feels like a catastrophic failure needs to happen to Eth at this point.

I'll check it out and play around, will never say never. I'm just generally skeptical of sidechains because why can't Eth just be a sidechain to BTC, or various incarnations of the same end like atomic swaps, BTC collateralization, etc?
In my experience taste is not as good.
Fujifilm discontinues its Pro 400H color negative film in 35mm, 120 formats
I don't think there'll be any issue since it's a separate chain and just submitting checkpoints to bitcoin so they can pretend they're a sidechain for marketing hype.
Twitter+FB+ a single-digit handful of other platforms are the only mechanisms for a private individual to share an idea and have it spread to a wide audience.

Yes, you can make your own blog and post whatever you like on it (actually these days even that is questionable with cloud vendors deplatforming blogs they don't like), but the chances of your speech reaching a wide audience are millions of times smaller than if you just posted on one of those established platforms and your speech was allowed to spread without censorship.

The problem with your analogy is that your megaphone makes it virtually impossible for anyone else to have one. This was not the case in the early days of the internet prior to these hyper centralised platforms emerging. This is where both the law and just general public mindset hasn't yet caught up with the implications of modern social media. In business, we have anti-trust laws specifically for this scenario. In information and social media, we have nothing.

A cafe owner refusing service to an individual is not comparable to a global-scale speech platform selectively suppressing ideas that the owner doesn't like from reaching a wide audience.
We have hundreds, if not thousands of vms running Debian in our datacenter, none of them have popcon installed.

So yeah, I think this statistic is orders of magnitude lower than in reality.

What I like about Debian is that they don’t really force you to install this.
Judges can usually see intent behind laws like that, similar things have been tried with abortion, attempting to make it harder/more expensive or similar, with not great success.

As a JavaScript learning exercise (OK mostly because it was fun), I started writing a simple bot to play the Paperclips game[1] for me.

I was really surprised with how easy it was to do stuff like add in a third party graphing library and then write a bit of code to graph interesting metrics on this page, directly from the console of my own browser.

I've also used greasemonkey for years to inject interesting scripts to improve usability on a couple of key sites. I think there are tons of options to do this kinda stuff, but I'm sure the tooling could be improved a little bit in some areas (e.g., to easily take advantage of npm packages).

So i'm a 'troll' now. I believe Ad hominem attacks are in violation of your TOS, who do I report your post to?

Good luck at your attempts to create a walled garden of civility while the world burns. I'll admit to being more antagonistic than needed be at times, but this idea that you can stay above the discourse happening everywhere else is silly.

But you're small enough to ban your way to a nice uniform echo chamber of non-controversy. You will drift further away from accurately representing the world we live in, but I don't think that was ever your goal.
