Agreed. Now both projects can more forward for whatever someone's definition of forward means. I am just glad it happened.
People fleeing WhatsApp is basically fleeing from it because it is owned by Facebook. So it's usually for political reasons (especially in the USA) and/or for privacy concerns.
A minority of tech-savvy users are leaving it for the reasons you say.
I don't know French at all (I'm one of those so-called monolinguals, aka 'American'), but I can generally understand enough of any romance language to get by, at least if there's subtitles.
Ask HN: Does your employer want you to state pronouns in email signature?
Disclaimer: I am LGBT / neutral regarding the the use of pronouns.

I work for a large Tech US multinational. We are now being recommended (not compulsory) to include our preferred pronouns in our email signature going forward.

My case: my social circle is all politically left leaning to various degrees, however I don't think any of them use pronouns on social media. Most of my team were completely bemused when this was raised in staff as they genuinely did not know that stating pronouns was a thing.

I am interested to know peoples thoughts:

How widespread this is across industry? Do you think this is a good/bad initiative?

Eh, Apple had profit from the start and was on the path to profit as long as Jobs was in charge. Selling regulatory credits to attain profitability isn't a sustainable business model, nor is it novel in the least.
This solves this problem for me quite well: https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher

It asks whether an AppImage should be integrated (with .desktop files, etc.) upon launching one and does everything automatically, even on my system running Arch+i3 where I except little to work automatically.
Decentralised content moderation
I find it pretty interesting that Martin does not mention the kind of community member-driven up/downvote mechanism found on this site (and elsewhere) as an example of decentralised content moderation.

Edit: now I see Slashdot and Reddit mentioned at the end in the updates section (I don't remember seeing them on my first read, but that might just be me).
IMO, it looks like fairly constructive feedback delivered in a reasonable way. If I were OP, I'd want more posts like this, not fewer.

I don’t think this is true. Even if a penguin is the biggest penguin [0] and enormously fat at twice their normal weight, that’s only 90kg and not going to break much ice.

He could potentially also lose his pension. Given how strapped he is right now, this could be quite painful for him.
Interestingly, the guidelines say nothing about non-English language submissions. I think every now and then this is okay although obviously it would become a problem for moderation if it happened all the time.
Ideologically far right doesn't mean 'racists take over capitol hill'.

AOC could be considered fairly 'far left' she's not exactly a radical.

To the OP's point, I think Parler was trying to legit be an alternative where they didn't have Jack Dorsey in charge, but I'm doubtful if they were actually looking for the holocaust denying crowd.

I suggest probably their comfort zone would have been 'Fox News'.
Pfft okay - if you only consider Apple's purposes I guess lol.

On an M1 you can run exactly one OS - macOS. And in that OS you have to get permission from Apple to do all sorts of simple things, from running programs to blocking network calls that go back to Apple.

I can run any OS I want on my hardware and I can run my OS on any truly general purpose hardware. Every time I run a program, my OS doesn't go ask the manufacturer if it's okay to run it. That's a general purpose computer.

More that nobody buys any USDT with $ at all, and then Tether announces that there are two billion new USDT, which are then used to buy BTC.

The trick is that lots of exchanges don't have any way to convert from crypto to real currency at all so use USDT as a stand-in, USDT's supposed backing 1:1 with $ means it's a stable place during crypto volatility, and it's next to impossible to actually get $ from directly exchanging USDT.
I don't disagree. That still exists to some extent. I don't think I could tell a Brooklyn accent from a Bronx accent, but i think some can? (Can they hear it in 20-year-olds not just 60-year-olds? Not sure).
Thorough? Their comment is noisy snark.

A huge number of models are "small". I'm currently training game units for autonomous behaviors. The M1 is massively oversized for my need.

Saying "Oh look, GPT-3" just stupidifies the conversation, and is classic dismissive nonsense.

Surely we can widen the issue from state-backed manipulation to lots-of-money-backed manipulation.
Right and regulation based on evidence would be a political principle and further we have to regulate nuanced situations all the time. Hence an entire branch of government usually set up to deal with the nuance of it.
It's not hidden at all. On the left pane next to search there's a "New chat" button on both chat list and contact list, where you can select "New group", "New secret chat", "New Channel".
Not exactly sure what you are talking about. People are fleeing from Whatsapp because it's owned by Facebook (which has one of the worst privacy reputations), because it's closed source and because facebook can replace your E2EE private key if they want so the E2EE is pretty useless. Facebook could also use the metadata if they want, which is pretty valuable.

Signal on the other hand is a nonprofit run by trusted people like Moxie Marlinspike, it's accessible to casual (non-IT) users as well (unlike XMPP) and it's fully open-source. It also minimizes metadata, like with the Sealed Sender functionality.
An accent is an indication of the extent of communication beyond a group.

The world wasn't bigger back then (or even today). People were less connected and their speech patterns were not influenced by audio-visual media.
This resonates with me. People like to talk about simplicity, and I get that, but to some people simplicity means “just use org mode”, which is a whole different axis of simplicity from “my partner can use it without redirecting their tech-related-frustration anger at me”.

There’s yet another axis of complexity/simplicity, which is that trying all these different note-taking systems means any time I want to look up a note, I have to check half a dozen different places. Recently I’ve been dropping everything except for code snippets into apple notes, and I’ve had a much easier time finding things later.
I suppose this is a matter of opinion, but for many the worst feature of WhatsApp is the fact Facebook has access to most of your stuff and its E2E encryption barely worked.

Signal being centralized and tied to a phone number are design choices to make things easier for users. That's a far cry from the presumed reasons WhatsApp did things. The only reason that Signal has gained what traction it has is because of those features.
UK Here. Keep salary how it is, give me free education including University (as we had 10 years ago), give us free healthcare (which we're clinging onto), give us decent pensions (which have got a lot worse over the last couple of decades), give us affordable housing. Let us choose our work location, so we don't have to commute to London or anywhere (COVID may actually improve this!).

Unfortunately UK doesn't highly value technical skills - real engineers (civil, electric, mechanical) are even worse off. To improve things many have been forced to go to Asia, US or Germany.

It would be nice to earn more as a SE, but not without retaining the stuff in the first list.

Maybe it's too obvious to point out, but Apple, in which Jobs pioneered the Reality Distortion Field, is now among the very most profitable companies in the world.

The term was originally used in either awe or derision depending on the person, but in that case it heralded exceptional success.
Supposedly, the front seat headrests of most cars in the US can be pulled off and used as glass breakers. I haven't personally tried it, but the prongs on the bottom definitely seem like they could do the job from the inside, at least.

I find Matrix to be super abrasive to use. Weird popups asking me about encryption, missing messages, and a confusing UI. I'm a nerd, and I find it baffling. Feels like it needs a UI stripdown. Something like Telegram is way more intuitive to use, but obviously not fully free on the backend.
This is all just semantic. I can do the same - plenty BLM protests included rioters and looters, so anyone supporting the protests supports looting, associates with rioters, courts their votes etc.

Trump didn't say the Fascists at Charlottesville where "very fine people", he said "you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides", making a point not applicable to the whole group, in general, and in fact that applies as much to antifa/the opposition.

Instead this nuance (and the context that he was talking in the context of both sides) is dropped in paraphrases such as yours. I can't say what Trump really feels, or if a broader context suggest he's just playing dangerous politics anyway - but you are twisting his word, or at least his meaning via selective quoting, in a pretty obvious manner.

As a parent, is there really any difference between "saving for your own future" or "saving for your kids"? I do some saving for my future (e.g. retirement or rainy day) but I don't have specific savings for my kids, or any particular goals for such saving (such as enough for higher education). Lots of people here save money for their kids so they can get their first apartment which is suddenly really expensive. But I'd rather improve the house we live in now, or take them on trips, and if they need $20k down in 10 years to move out, I can probably solve that.
I started with 0 savings from my parents, they started with zero from theirs, and so on. I don't know anyone who received a significant amount of money from their parents that wasn't an inheritance.

You can't count on politics being constant, but "there is a large welfare state here also in 15 years" I consider about as likely as the sun rising tomorrow.

Avi Loeb: The Mystery of the Oumuamua [video]
I think owners who are not security pros may be more common because when somebody knows enough and have been doing it for some time, he may realize that with all his skill he still can be owned one way or another (and he will be given long enough time and high enough incentives).
The appeal is:

1. The driving experience (fast acceleration)

2. It’s different and unique

3. Owning one seems to have cachet

It’s not the worst manufactured car I’ve ever owned but it’s not the best either. The service experience varies but doesn’t match the luxury brands. With as many as are on the road people regularly want to talk about my Model S like it’s a Ferrari or something. The rise in my electric bill is a fraction of my old fuel bill but I can’t say it justifies the cost. The model X is particularly ostentatious with its gull wing doors. A couple families at our children’s private school drop their children off in one. The cars get far more attention than the more expensive luxury cars in the drop off line.

So it’s purely an emotional purchase. Something car manufacturers have been using to their advantage for some time now.

Thank you for the clarification, I wasn't able to tell from the link if it was backlit or used ambient light.

It's funny to me that they skipped over that feature, but instead talked ones that few of us here probably care about (like thickness). Just another reminder that HN is a far from average sampling of the world.

I hate Tesla fanboyism as much as the next person, but I bought a Model 3 as a midlife crisis car (joking, I think?) and it’s the best car I’ve ever driven. Probably most of this is the improved acceleration and handling of an electric car in general, meaning that it isn’t Tesla-specific — except that when I tried to buy another brand there was nothing comparable. But elements of the Tesla experience really are light years beyond and other car, electric or not: the supercharger network is ubiquitous and it “just works”. I can’t imagine buying another electric car and having to worry about where I’ll charge on longer trips. The UI and navigation makes other cars (including my friend’s newish BMW) look like a 2009-era Blackberry. Last week I scheduled a computer upgrade, and Tesla showed up at my house yesterday and did it in my driveway. Yes: the interior is more basic and probably it doesn’t have the excellent build quality of a BMW. But I wouldn’t trade back. In fact, I’m never buying another ICE car again, which means other brands had better get their act together and start shipping something that competes.

The TL;DR here is: people who rave about finish are like people who complained about the iPod based on storage capacity. Tesla really is doing something very right, and ignoring that based on the (very real) perception of fanboyism is cutting off your own nose.
I would rather internet platforms censor only on their own platform than have the government censor all of us.
> When developing ML models, you rarely train "just one".

Depends on your field. In Reinforcement Learning you often really do train just one, at least on the same data set (since the data set often is dynamically generated based on the behavior of the previous iteration of the model).
Personally, I think that WhatsApp has an excellent user experience (including their encryption which is fine) and the only reason I am leaving is because of privacy concerns.

Signal also has an excellent user experience (much better than I was expecting) and most of the privacy concerns are alleviated. Decentralised would be better, but I have not found Matrix to be a particularly smooth experience.
This piece may be the single most intelligent thing I have read all week (though this perhaps does not speak well of my usual information sources...). :)

I feel like one of the defects in most of our discourse these days (from any position, on any subject) is an almost complete disregard for trying to understand opposing views (and even a lack of concern that ones assumptions about the opposition might not be entirely correct).

Dependency Injection vs. Service Locator
Totally agree, and we'll be downvoted for our opinions. The Cloud brainwash has achieved "common knowledge" even though it's an expensive farce. Creating and operating one's own data center is easy-peasy and literally saves millions - but nooooo....
Yes, i would and have. In my own participation in (left) political organizing, I don't believe that we can rely on corporations to make it convenient for us, and say so. To be sure, the corporations convenience/inconvenience matters. But the inconvenience of having to access the thing in a browser instead of an app??? This seems like nothing to me.

The site actually getting shut down entirely is of course a lot more significant, I see much more of a point there. It's complaining about "oh no it's just so hard to access it via a web browser instead of an app" that seems ridiculous to me -- if you are organizing against the system -- and it's pretty clear to me that's what parler was doing; I am opposed to the politics they were doing it from, but not to organizing against the system -- you should expect and prepare for attempts to suppress. If "oh no we have to access in a web browser instead of an app" is all you get, you are doing great.
... and the social media giants have lots of money, and are in the perfect position to manipulate.

Motivation and opportunity ...
It's the interior that does it for me. Model 3 is the one I find the least appealing. I doubt as many buyers would have accepted that if it was from another manufacturer at the same price point.
> Family and friends often are distressed by the state of the world

I see this a lot too, and I have seen it the other way around as well. Where people believe everything is either Armageddon or a non-issue. Ironically I think this effect is applied to itself. Are we distressed because we think our world-view is wrong so we seek to the extremes for validation?
Ah, I stand corrected. It used to be back then (very visible webkit process tree), long time since I moved to the Swift one.

You can get the same backups you would have if you never rooted it to start with. I agree in some cases that's not enough but it's not no backups of any sort. Mostly just more hassle to restore.
I don’t know if you’ve watched what happen to Gab. They have been banned from everything.

They built their own browser, media, host their own servers, working on a phone, etc

My concern is when IPs or DNS is blocked. There are distributed DNS solutions, but they aren’t there yet.

I personally bought a pinephone this last week and plan to try and stabilize it enough to hand to family members. Possibly I’ll even start selling tech support for it.

I’m not by any means a supporter of either political establishment either. But I believe we can’t have a two tiered system. If corporations are going to exert power over the population, it can be combated.

My concern, is what happens when they get in government. Remember, Trump banned lobbying his administration.

https://time.com/4652703/president-trump-lobbying-ban/

Biden’s adding them to his staff now. That could be a good thing (know the industry, etc). But it could also be used as a governmental hammer on alternatives.

At that point you have fascism.
Has anyone got any samples that show off the screen quality?

I'm struggling to find out who makes the screen and what specs it is.

Is it true e-ink? (as in, it doesn't need power to display images)

what bit depth is it running at?
That's the problem though: car interfaces shouldn't "look modern", they should provide access to features in a maximally safe and ergonomic way. Tesla seems to be going in the exact opposite direction, mirroring the trend of web and mobile technologies.
Using the novel technology of the time (gramophone) to record hyper-local accents and witness someone discovering his own accent, probably one of the first ever to do so.

It's an interesting turning point in the history of modern technology, a bit like the first time someone saw himself in a picture or in a movie.
>I should also say, just because you raise money in the bay doesn't mean you have to run your business in the bay. Should you choose to do so remotely, you'll like take a bit of a discount, but it's worth mentioning this year's YC class was entirely remote.

I see a lot of parallels between ML/DL and cryptocurrency research.
The "market cap" of a cryptocurrency is a meaningless value. If I create a million coins and sell one for $1 that doesn't mean there's a million dollar market suddenly.

If the BTC market was really $600bn you wouldn't see the price regularly rising or falling 10% or more in a single day based around small numbers of trades.
A few years ago the government in Estonia raised taxes a bit too much on alcohol. The result was that Estonians started going to Latvia to buy alcohol. I believe even a lot of Finns are (or were) now buying alcohol from Latvia. Even alcohol that's made in Estonia is cheaper in Latvia.

There were some additional effects to this as well. Food is also cheaper in Latvia. Some people ended up doing a lot of their grocery shopping in Latvia as, because they were already there for be alcohol.

Politically, the Social Democrats got most of the blame for the tax increase. They had a large drop in votes in the most recent parliamentary election.
