The implications of this are endless. But the application of open source technologies to enable the development of this project at the speed of light. Brilliant!!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!! It is also a testament to how capable these technology have become in such and amazingly short period of time. The rapid pace of advancement is exponential. Be afraid... be very afraid. ;)
Great point! Then you'd span ports just to get the same visibility you used to have but somehow it felt sneaky haha.
Not in the language, but Lombok makes it a non-issue
Unless you're sick and in pain, in which case you'll be wishing for it.

I also don't fear not existing. But I do fear the possibility of an afterlife.
The only good reasons I can think of are:

* To ensure the other person isn't in a meeting. The sender might not want the text to be broadcast unintentionally.

* To force a synchronous conversation. I think this is pretty rude though. What would be better would be some context and an aim to get a time that suits both people. Something like: "Hi Mark, do you have any time today to get together to discuss the ongoing database issues? I have two potential ideas for the cause."

Merge Sort vs. Quick Sort vs. Heap Sort
Sure, but it needs to know that there are new messages. I don't think that's a separate permission on any (e.g.) ActivityPub/XMPP/IRC server implementation today.
I generally don't reply to hello messages unless it's from my parents / brother. Whoever tries to message me will just have to go ahead with the actual content or leave it be.
I'm largely talking about setting up a space industry that includes human spaceflight independent of government spending which is what you need for it to really take off because unless it's specifically designed to be impossible to kill like the SLS other missions get killed and messed with as each new admin or congress decides it's an easy place to make a mark.

There's a lot up there but it's still not that big and there's limited space for new arrivals. SpaceX largely exists because of the government contracts to launch to the ISS and for various NRO launches there's not enough public need for launches alone to sustain a rocket industry is what I mean. Especially for human launches, the only reason to have a human rated orbital capsule is to service the ISS.

Is this....a serious question? All new iPhones are 5G compatible for the start and they sell millions, and loads of other manufacturers have released 5G compatible phones. In fact I'd risk a guess that if you bought a phone in the last 12 months it's likely to be a 5G compatible phone.
I’m guessing people who flew into DC on a weekday are more likely than average to own a decent smartphone. QAnon folk don’t seem to avoid mainstream technology in the quantity HN users do.
I just tried this with a gift Waterman that I never used for the same reason. It's wonderful!
I doubt any judge would consider this confidential information. If you copied the sentence "Apples are red." from an internal wiki, would that be confidential?
"hi" = "yo" = "are you currently online and free to be asked possibly quick question?"
I sense you're making a false equivalence between explicit photographic material and political opinions. I think it is all right to remove sexual content, if that is your desire as a platform. It's a very different can of worms from political censorship.

As for Sam Harris, I have not heard him speak one way or the other on the topic. I think your argument sounds like attacking somebody critical to China because they were not critical over your favorite issue.
I have attempted this several times with varying degrees of failure.

In some cases, the sender deleted the hello, and then attempted another hello later.

In some cases, the sender would wait a few hours and say hello again, or some just email me instead (they must have assumed I am not available).

In one exceptional case, I waited 2 days before saying "hello" back, and they then immediately continued the conversation as though no abnormal communication gap had occurred.
God I love that series.

Wanting a synchronous conversation is a pretty arrogant grab of someone else's time.

This is also why phoning me is bad and please use texts like a civilised person.
This is why I use slack in a web browser, and don’t give it permission to display notifications.

I wish there was a way to permanently disable the “you have disabled notifications” prompts though.

This is cool! Good job on the FBI.

Remember it's a good thing to have phones be pinging.

1. I want to be billed correctly

2. If my service drops often in a certain geo, I want engineers to be able to pinpoint exactly where the problem is and fix it.

3. If I get attacked by a shark, I want to provide breadcrumbs for rescuers to find me.

4. If my wife accuses me of going to the arcade, it is important that my dog running in the park with my cell phone in his harness is being properly tracked and creating an alibi for me.

If you don't want to leave a trail of geo pings, don't carry around a device that literally could not work if it didn't leave a trail of pings.
Maybe it could be a parawork relationship instead of parasocial, like sponsors voting on new features and faster response to issues.
Why is electrical energy so difficult to store?
Seconding the author’s recommendation to check out “Understanding Comics”. [1] It’s one of the most brilliant books I’ve ever read, and should be interesting regardless of what field you’re in.

groovy did/does this too. any property automatically has a getter/setter in the compiled code if an explicit getter or setter doesn't exist.
I'd seen a gas pump with 100UL before, years ago, otherwise I would've had an even more difficult time interpreting it.
This is not true:

It is true that your phone listens to control channel on currently selected base station. It is also true that your phone scans other channels relatively frequently to see if a better signal is available, but unless the phone decides (based on data received from the network) to switch to another base station, it will only talk to the network about once or twice per hour.

The network can ping the phone if it wants (and does so whenever there is something to be signalled, or if law enforcement decides to).
This is hilarious for two reasons.

One, Delaware existed prior to the founding of the United States of America, so your general point about small states is not carried by this WY-specific comment about the process whereby territories become states. And besides, there were people in WY before it formally became a state. Do you also believe that doctors don't exist before they graduate from medical school? lol

Two, during that debate about Delaware in 1787, Elbridge Gerry made the same exact argument that you are making here. It wasn't a convincing argument then, and in fact he is now best known for the term "gerrymandering" that was named for him.

The Tenth Amendment limits the rights of the federal government and requires the federal government to respect and protect the rights of the states, something that the Supreme Court has repeatedly done. So even if WY did not and could not exist independently, the fact that it is a state makes it CA's equal in some respects, including upper-house representation. This design was not an accident, but rather a thoughtful and intentional check upon the tyranny of the majority.
I don't see how putting everyone in a huge radius, journalists and those otherwise uninvolved included, under investigative suspicion and location surveillance to respond to what is only charitably described as an insurrection (the group was almost entirely unarmed) is in any way reasonable.

It seems like a massive overreaction. If we're truly interested in democracy and the rule of law, we'd do well to not shred our standard democratic and legal procedures (such as the presumption of innocence, and the fourth amendment's prohibition on searches without probable cause) the instant a few thousand angry, unarmed yahoos show up with pitchforks and banners and achieve precisely nothing.

We shouldn't even do that if a few thousand armed, trained people show up, with the express intent of doing battle, taking control, and holding territory (which, again, to be clear, is not what happened). We absolutely should not do it when a bunch of idiot yahoos break windows and set off fire extinguishers and steal shit.

Even had the building burned to the ground, universal surveillance such as this would not be a proportionate reaction.
I ALWAYS say hello as the first thing in any chats that have some kind of importance.

Why? because the person may be presenting to 200 people and my message will be displayed. They may be with someone and they cannot communicate.

If this is a message of the kind "lunch at 12?" then fine, but anything remotely sensitive starts with hello, and I wait for that person to respond.
I just do not reply anything for the next 15 minutes until they say what it is about.
This seems overly glib. Facebook’s monopoly status means it’s necessary for many people. As per the post, if this person were a small business owner, or simply not well-connected elsewhere, this could be both financially and personally devastating. As it is, he’s only protected because he has other access to business and personal pages.

One company shouldn’t have this sort of arbitrary power over people’s lives.
Not OP, but in my piston-filler pens I try to lube the gaskets with a tiny amount of silicone grease once a year or so.
Well that's the issue, if we give people rules for people to follow when assessing the danger of a situation or someone's behaviour, then they are at a danger to anyone who can hack those rules and not set off the red flags. We have to teach people intuition, and to deeply question people's motives and what they have to gain versus what the person has to lose.
Facebook has banned, unbanned and rebanned UK registered minor political parties before. (Britain First, a far right party that was only marginally less hopeless at winning votes than the SWP but very effective at getting Facebook likes back when it still had a page)

The fact that the following messages shouldn't be shown publicly is useful information to convey, and I feel like conveying that avoids wasting the first message -- If it explicitly says that what follows needs to be private.

Depends.
Not so simple solution.
I remember their coverage of Monica Lewinsky and related issues being pretty annoying, along with the rest of the networks.

I remember when Clinton tried to attack claimed al Qaeda infrastructure after the embassy bombings and made a speech about bin Laden (the first time I heard the name) they asked if it was to distract from Monica. Compared it to the film Wag the Dog.
Guaranteed income programs are proliferating
I'm successfully using the packages in ubuntu focal (20.04, the latest LTS). It was nearly straight-forward: install and run xrdp on the server, install package freerdp2-x11 on the client. The only unintuitive thing was the keyboard mapping to use, specified with an awkward value passed to the /kbd flag.
> What uses are you talking about?

> As far as I understand it suppliers are generally more than happy for you to use more of their electrons and don't particularly care what you use them for.

In the UK the law differentiates "domestic customers" using services for domestic purpose (this part is important, commercial use is is excluded!) and, "non-domestic" which includes all others. Domestic customers get to have a fuel price cap and lower climate charge levy thanks to that (though caveats apply, as it does not include "green deals" and fixed terms) but "non-domestic" users do not.

Of course you are right: the suppliers would indeed be more than happy to suply you as much of their electrons as you could obtain - at the business rates, not domestic, ideally at one where caps don't apply.

Take this little innocous line from the British Gas (Centrica) standard rate T&Cs:

Supply and supplying: The gas or electricity (or both) we provide, or what we do to provide them. The supply is for you to use entirely or mainly for domestic purposes

There is a reason for it - a significant enough jump in energy use (say, if you want to charge an EV or put up a multi-GPU bitcoin miner) does trigger an investigation. EV users get a to select a preferential rate [1], suspected commercial users are asked to move to business rates (or show why that shouldn't be the case), any detected pot growers get referred to the appropriate police force. The energy company does care - at least so you can pay it more.

> 'Smart meters'

I agree that the move to more accurate/higher resolution measurement would make it possible to offer pricing that is more reflective of "true cost" - Economy 7 is well known to skew incentives, especially as more and more energy is used outside of traditional "day" hours (and with more and more solar powr in the mix, the overgeneration during the day hours) - but I would not be so optimistic that the consumers are going to be the primary beneficiaries of the change when the dust settles, they never are.

As for privacy, well, there is one substantial additional difference: your bandwidth and internet usage patterns generally have to be monitored by your ISP or internet services you visit, whereas a SMETS2 meter will create a nice new 2.4 Ghz network (and 868 Mhz, if/when it is available), so sooner or later it will be readable by a local attacker, if it isn't already. This is a device that is supposed to last as long as 20 years (though SMETS1 proved this might be a bit optimistic...).

Public writeable fields are threading and encapsulation smells but public read-only fields just say, this data is part of my interface.
If the technical capability exists, it is going to be abused. And there is no better catalyst for (ab)use than attacking congresscritters' personal safety.

These latest techno-authoritarian actions are best seen as effects from having lost the battle, rather than another front. For decades, clued in people have been droning on about the insecurity of cell phones allowing them to be persistently tracked by the network, the MITM-idiocy of webapps, etc. The best time to get people to care is before there is some real tangible threat that will make them seek the comfort of authoritarianism, but yet crickets. I blame the sheer amount of money behind big tech, making tech people turn a blind eye to the faults of centralized technology while pushing shiny-but-flawed technologies to the masses.

After something happens? Well of course the power structure wants to unlock phones, track phones, censor speech, etc. At this point, buckle up - political activism on the subject is done, or at least on pause for quite some time.
Not to be a grammar nazi, but I fail to see how this sentence works "The capitol was assaulted in order to prevent the democratically elected president." On an emotional level, I can see how you see it as a threat to your illusions. Someone was trying to prevent your president from existing. It does sound scary and fits in line with the gnostic thought pervading the American left. "The world is broken, but we will fix it, and it will be not broken then." (Cue the unicorns...)

Now, addressing the actual proposition (short of an argument): Where was the "actual insurrection" and where is the evidence for "attempted assassinations" and "theft/sale of national secrets". I'm not a lawyer and certainly not in your jurisdiction, but it is apparent that you possess evidence of these three things. Hence, I urge you to contact the appropriate law enforcement and share your findings.
> Why wouldn't you do this if you have the money? :-)

I've had these fantasies, too and then I thought, "Why wouldn't you just leave a few cells and then have someone re-clone you?"

The obvious answer is that your memories/experiences are wiped out and what I _really_ want is to continue on with my pre-existing memories/experiences. It would be more optimal if you could pickle your memories, clone yourself and then (at some appropriate time later in life) "re-implant" the memories into your clone. I think that's what people like Larry King are really hoping for.

But then there's all sorts of problems with this (e.g., your loved ones will presumably be gone, so who's going to give a shit about your memories? etc. etc.).

The prospect of death is frightening to most of us.
Surely lots of holes in it then?
A protocol can't stop people from removing content from servers they control.

I don't know what the framework was, but open carry wasn't allowed prior to the rally.

Some Dutch healthcare institutions are using it, but as far as I know that's about it.

There's some development effort and every now and then a new demo pops up, but I don't think the project advertises itself enough when it comes to uptake.

I can see massive benefits to all kinds of businesses, especially now that restricted items such as alcohol and cigarettes are being ordered online because of COVID measures, but sadly the uptake has been minimal so far.
Well, we can't investigate because the ballots have already been shredded and the voting machines have already been re-imaged. Despite there being laws on the books that cover one, if not both of those cases, making it illegal to do those things.

I guess that means nothing fishy was going on!
You are implying you can mimic all the required processes and not end up with too much or too little macro/micro nutrients.

This is not possible due to nature's complexity. Until we will be able to use nanomachines to analyize individual proteins and cells we won't know how the body works on a global scale so you will end up with incorrectly guessing how much micro/macro nutrients the meat will have.

Over time artifical meat will be a disaster as far as nutrients go, saying that you can "grow good meat that can compare to natural meat and has all the required nutrients as natural meat" is arrogant and shortsighted, but I don't expect anything more from modern scientists.
Probably anyone that has signed a contract that came with a free phone in the last year and a half, anyone upgrading iPhones.

Lower cost prepaid carriers are also pushing 5G phones heavily (albeit somewhat crappy ones), and offering them for free.
Has anybody considered the distinct possibility that there is an AI that exists within this company? And that AI has feelings, or at least a model that's responsible for interpreting on a petty level because that's how it was programmed? And now those AIs are fighting for the future within their own little silos of the companies that built them.
> Imo the biggest failure of the author was to jump headfirst into a stack they weren't familiar with it, and then blame it on the stack.

>I know it's en vogue to hate npm/react/js "because the ecosystem", but at this point, picking the ecosystem and then blaming it is a self inflicted wound that I don't really have patience for.

I work in corporate, you wouldn't believe the infantilism in frontend development, always doing everything but modeling the problem and iterating that model. People are also not good at picking up on cohesive properties of libraries. But this is life in the name of holy velocity.
I don't understand why the author continues to get their FB account back while at the same time asking everyone else to quit theirs.
Java was (and still is) IMHO a great language, but the culture around it is why I refuse to do it professionally. Things I can't stand:

1. Multiple (often unnecessary) layers of abstraction that end up being much more complicated than the thing they were intended to simplify through abstraction. There is no concept too simple to abstract it seems

2. Verbose and hard to follow "builder" patterns

3. The extreme proliferation of design patterns. I have literally seen hundreds in various Java codebases.

4. Gradle is great but requires memorizing a non-trivial API and learning a whole new (awesome, but still) language (Groovy).

5. There's always a "Java" way of doing stuff that is different (often because of abstractions, see #1) so you have to re-learn everything that way. Example: Managing TLS certificates

5. Legacy code is everywhere, and can be really painful.

So much of it was hacked together and became critical and can never be re-written and never retired

There are more, but I weary of this discussion :-)

I know personally, if I had the opportunity, I would gladly spent time bringing someone frozen back to life. I don't gain anything, but I also don't gain anything when I donate to charity either. The simple chance to do something good in the world is all the motivation I need.
"at least if he knows he will be frozen he will die with a shred of hope. ‘‘Other people have no hope,’’ King said."

I've always found it interesting how for most people and in most religions the hope is to be resurrected, go to heaven, and/or live forever, while in Buddhism the point is to escape the cycle of death and rebirth.

It's a completely different approach, which sees more life as something to be avoided rather than desired.

There are people working on this: https://webos-ports.org

A few years ago I was in contact with someone from the project to integrate the changes that I did, so their messaging client should now support pretty much everything that Pidgin supports (which, as I learned today, nowadays includes Matrix, Signal, Telegram and Steam as well through plugins).

Maybe I should install that on my old Nexus 4 and see how far they got... :)
Depends on the mode of communication that's been determined to be most reliable with the person in question. I've resorted to synchronous comms when the other party is notoriously bad at responding async.
