Was that revenue enough to keep the lights on indefinitely? I’m having a hard time Googling this, but I recall an article circa the FB acquisition which stated that WhatsApp’s subscription fee model + efficient backend programming had already become self-sustaining. Wish I could find that article now.
I see.

I don't think it's a question of pace. 20% over 90 years instead of 70% over 40 years isn't "pace." Also, Keynes predicted that people would choose fewer hours. I assume that what you are describing about Norway is an advancement of worker rights. That's not really the Keynes prediction.

It is a question, to some extent, of definitions. Does average workweek increase because more women joined the workforce? Decrease because children left the workforce? Does college count as "work? Does unemployment factor in? Should we consider Norway's average workweek shorter than Spain's because of unemployment rates? etc. There are lots of definitional issues. I'm interested in this, honestly.

The definition I'm interested is a the common sense one. What does "full time," generally, mean? Is there a normative choice, at scale, for a 15 hr workweek that is normative. The answer to this is no.

>> increased efficiency has been an enabler that allowed these reductions in working hours to happen

This why looking at old predictions is interesting. It's easy to narrate things that have already happened in ways that don't challenge our views.

Maybe there is a direct relationship between efficiency and working hours. It's just 50X weaker than Keynes (and current microeconomic theory still) predicts. That's it's an uninteresting theory. The difference between true and false is unimportant.

>> There is not a single country in Europe that hasn't seem a similar pattern of reductions

IDK... European countries are pretty different from eachother. Here in ireland, I think average workweek has increased just based on labour force participation. Historically, unemployment has been high here. In our generation it is very low. Female participation also went from very low to very high here. We also went from mostly self employed to mostly employed in that period.

Ireland was never very industrial, so the "standard" or union normative working conditions are not as specifically defined as it is in Germany, for example.
Maybe AZ should have charged €3 per shot instead of €2 and spent the extra € on a PR agency. They just seem to be constantly taking a hammering in the press, unfairly I’d say.
Even if a process re-serializes a message, unknown fields will be preserved, if using the official protobuf libraries proto2 or 3.5 and later. Only in 3.0 did they drop unknown fields, which was complete lunacy. That decision was reverted for proto 3.5.

Some of the APIs (C++ for example) provide methods to access unknown fields, in case they were only mostly unknown.
I'm aware, but alas in my domain anything above 50us is "noticeable" if it happens regularly

Sure, but that could be true or false. Granted, in either scenario people who use rBGH are incentivized to want it to be true. I assume the fact that it's on cartons at all is a loss for the industrialized farms, though.
All we know for sure if that they had some revenue. No one knows if they were reliably self sustaining. Especially as you grow, the costs balloon.
So this technology shares files on a local network? Isn't that a very solved problem? How is this different?

I spent a couple years learning graphics programming to build an iPad app for creating subtle animated effects. The idea was kind of like Procreate but if you had "animated brushes" that produced glimmer or other types of looping animated effects.

From what I've read, the technique behind most digital brushes is to render overlapping "stamps" over the stroke. They're spaced closely enough that you can't actually see the stamps.

But if you want to animate the stamps, you either have to store the stroke data as a very large sequence of stamp meshes or you can only work with the data in a raster format. The former is way too many meshes even with instancing, and the latter loses a lot of useful information about the stroke. Imagine you wanted to create a brush where the edges of the stroke kind of pulsate like a laser beam, you ideally want to store that stroke data in a vector format to make it easier to identify e.g. centers and edges.

But it turned out to be too challenging for me to figure out how to 1) build a vector representation of a stroke/path without losing some of the control over detail you get with the stamping technique and 2) efficiently render those vectors on the GPU.

I'm not sure if this would help with the issues I ran into, but I'm definitely excited to see some focus on 2D rendering improvements!

we have a huge debate about it in france right now, it's called "islamo-leftist".

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamo-gauchisme

basically they accuse some left people to have been (too) tolerant with muslim people in the name of multiculturalism, leading to being laxist toward ideologies and cultural practices (such as islamic preachers in some mosques) that lead to / encourage to terrorism (a lot of the terror attacks we had came from people visiting the same mosques..).

it's not completely unfounded if you know some french left-wing poiticians
> It's a hack because it's easier to change the fundamental concept of time than it is to change all of our published schedules.

Imagine if businesses, trains, fairies, parks, etc all had summer and winter hours.

Isn't this already a thing in places that don't use DST? The concept of a winter/summer schedule isn't too hard for most people to grok.

I should have responded to your original comment - hydrogen and batteries have very different potential range of applications and both of them have a place in the future of our energy systems.

To your flammability point - yes that is true - there are other advantages to Hydrogen being that it lighter than air and dissipates relatively quickly (diffusing the explosion risk) and that it is no toxic. Where as in the case of a car accident gasoline pools underneath the car and remains on site and a continued risk.

There are disadvantages to Hydrogen as well - the flammability has to be managed, its a pernicious molecule and causes embrittlement. All solvable through engineering.

>While Steve and Woz definitely made and sold Blue Boxes, this conjecture is entirely false otherwise. Blue boxes had nothing to do with evading wiretaps, but rather making free phone calls.

You are incorrect, blue boxes were and can be used to evade wiretaps.

"in wiretapping systems: common phone-tapping equipment was designed to be backwards compatible with in-band signalling, with the result that you can evade surveillance by using a blue box to convince the police equipment that you’ve hung up. The telephone exchange ignores this signal, so you remain
on the phone but with the police recording stopped" - [0]

>Further, your farcical story of them visiting mafia owned bars is utterly fantasy.

I can't find the exact quote where I think Woz talks about this in an interview. It is that not absurd at face value since one of the main purchaser of blue boxes was bookies. If you're selling blue boxes at that time, a bunch of the buyers are going to be bookies. Both for their ability make free calls, but also for advantages like evading wiretaps that blue boxes provide. See quote below:

"Since the early 1950s [mafia] bookies had been using every trick they could think of to make free and, more important, unrecorded long-distance telephone calls. One method was as simple as bribing telephone company operators and
technicians to place calls for them so that the calls never appeared on their own telephone bills. [..] Blue boxes were active devices: they allowed you to call people — anybody — without leaving a record that the call was ever made. It’s not clear exactly when the bookies learned about blue boxes, or from whom, but the best guess appears to be about 1 963
or 1 964. One source was Louis MacKenzie, the electronics engineer who offered to fix AT&T’s network, for a price, in the early 1960s. MacKenzie, who later became a witness for the government in several blue box prosecutions, sold blue boxes to bookies in 1965 or perhaps earlier." - [1]

Edit: Really having trouble finding that quote from Woz. I could have misremembered this. The article that inspired Woz to build blue boxes was about people selling blue boxes to bookies, perhaps I conflated those two stories.

This is not true. Whether you believe it or not, there are several reasons the government could use to ban bitcoin and say they are protecting the customer.

-It's a speculative bubble, that will cause a transfer of wealth from the poor to rich(I.E. Hedge funds will find a way to front run)

- It uses a ton of energy, with the climate accords they could get many countries to ban it at once. Why should a few bitcoin holders be allowed to destroy the plant.

Whether these arguments hold water or not( I think they both do) They both at least make sense and the majority of people can understand them.
I was referring to the cost of pruning free comments. If people had to pay, comments sections would be almost completely empty.

Any fee attached to commenting is little different from just banning comments. Few will pay to put their $0.02 on a story they disagree with even fewer will pay if they agree with it. They'll go bitch about it on FB, then bitch about the commenting system too.

As you say, fighting comment trolling and spam is expensive, news media isn't making money hand over fist. I've rarely seen comments add value to a site so why pay to keep them?

Something can be true even if there is no way to prove it. But even if the proof can not be offered volontarily, you might see other people accidentally “step in the bear trap”, so to speak, and thereby infer its existence.
So you are saying that no one would die in Germany if the vaccine would not be temporarily suspended? That's a bit simplistic. Not to mention that we go so far as to consider that every life is precious and we need to fight for every single COVID patient, but the people that could be affected by this are just statistically insignificant.
That depends entirely on the need. I would bet that any sort of decentralized chat system communicating to nonstandard servers would be closely scrutinized.

For one-to-one communication, ideally I'd set up either some sort of special code with the receiving end and just use http. If more information relaying is needed, a one-time pad would be good. I'd try to keep the messages short in case there's a hole in the system somewhere. Again, depending on your needs, relying on one protocol like matrix or pgp could be risky. Good OPSEC can make up for a leaky security system.

For one-to-many communication, proxies and device disassociation are priority above all else. You can assume interception of those messages generally.
Based on the incompetent decisions that ERCOT has made over the past few "severe weather events", I would say ERCOT and ESKOM are eerily similar.

In the old days we said, "You can write Fortran in any language", meaning you can write bad code in any language. But that is not a reason to write bad code.

Idiomatic Rust, like idiomatic C++, is faster than C. So, your C-in-Rust runs like C, slow, not like good Rust or good C++, fast.
This is simply a bad take.

Wheels have been improved over many millennia. Were they all pointless? First logs. Then the axle. Then carriage wheels with wooden spokes. Then steel wheels with rubber tires, also with spokes, but light enough for bicycles. Then aluminum wheels, again lightening the rolling weight. And now we’re seeing wheels with integrated suspension systems.

All of these are reinventing the wheel and each is a dramatic improvement over the wheel before it. This is how we make progress, by improving on things from the past.
You do have to wonder if some of this is politically driven. Germany are losing hundreds of life's a day, while in the meantime the UK has administrated 23 million doses (not sure the ratio of those that were AstraZeneca) and not recorded a single fatality or adverse reaction and are seeing infection rates / deaths drop. I can understand caution under normal circumstances, but nothing is normal right now.
Some did the math - the price Facebook would need to charge every user would be $11 a month. Sorry I can't remember WHERE I read it though.

Correct Information Management in Messengers
I very often hear from people who use two or more instant messengers (especially at work) that they are worried about the scattering of information in different places. You can communicate with the same person in Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp and so on, and when you want to find the necessary information with him in correspondence, you spend a lot of time to get it. But finding the right message is only half the trouble. Where else can you save this message so that you do not scroll again next time, but find it in a couple of seconds? Tell me, do you face such inconveniences and how are you solving these problems now? How important would it be for you to see all messages in the context of one question / problem / discussion in one place, and even saved in a structured form?
Sounds like you have a good roadmap. That offtaker piece is a tricky one and the long term storage piece is policy dependent. Hopefully other CO2 markets materialize.

Our process is 99% purity.

FWIW, I've had a warrant executed against me by the FBI. They seized every electronic device I own, and forcibly took my biometric data(fingerprints, face scan, retinal scan) in the hopes they could unlock my devices with it. They were unable to access any LUKS-encrypted volumes, and were less than happy about that situation. Can't say much else unless I'm good with 99x anxiety for the next few days.

You cannot have ever been in a room doing mining.

I switched to Telagram from Whatsapp, after the change in privacy update. I've seen a lot of my contacts switch over too.
Things I don't like:

2. The UI needs work.

Better than ever, even. For the vast majority of crap they're just deleting it sight unseen. My GMail spam folder used to have over 10,000 messages (with them auto-deleting after 30 days). Today it has 192, which is small enough to search for the occasional false positive.

(Real false positives are very rare. I do try to mark things that were legitimate law-following commercial emails, so that I can unsubscribe but signal that they're OK to anybody who might actually want them. Aggravatingly, the Red Cross did not actually support its unsubscribe link, so I gave up and let it be marked as spam.)

2008 was barely a decade ago but if that comment made you feel smart good for you.

Plus this argument is ignoring that the way the banking system is protected from such failures is with taxpayer money, so you still end up losing some of it.
In a very literal sense, that's exactly what's broken about the interview process in the software industry. The philosophy is to avoid false positives at all costs, so a high rate of false negatives is seen as OK. The prevailing advice is, just try your luck again in six months.
