Open protocols is the way. Then if a client starts acting sketchy or bloaty, you can ditch it for a better one.

Plus, an open protocol changes the risk calculus for the group that manages the client implementation, in a way that would prevent situations like this one.

However, open protocols beget federation, so I don't think you're at odds with the above poster. Email, DNS, etc are all open protocols with federation built-in, but we trade away some centralization of servers (GMail, Cloudflare, etc) in exchange for nice things (DoS protection, spam filtering, etc).

In the worst case, where a server starts acting scammy (like embedding ads in your email) or tries to diverge from the protocol, you can always go back to hosting it yourself, or paying a small and trusted shop to host it for you.

In the arena where Signal is competing, Matrix [1] is probably our best bet. (Assuming irc is too barebones for your needs, in 2021). It has also supported end-to-end encryption for some time now [2].

Just as there is no stopping “crime” there is no stopping bad content.

Besides - these are evolutionary games being played between grazers (content consumers) and predators (alarmingly large group).

As long as there is signal in a forum, there will come to be a method to subvert it.

Honestly the question I would ask people is how do you measure bad behavior on a forum.

Any technical idea, such as your tree, is doomed to eventual obsolescence. The question is how long it would take, and how effective it would be, and how you would measure it.
Fair enough - to be honest I got all excited about the gunpowder timeline. Poor historian I would make.

The general point about living on the edge of chaos and it falling in either side still stands - although if you do fall, falling like the Ming / Qing is waaaay better :-)
Not sure what either of these millionaires have against each other, but I don't really care.

Have you every seen a Wix website? It is literally everything wrong with a page builder in a single application.

The code it spits out is basically unreadable, a mix of position absolute garbage and weird grid with margins??? I am fairly certain frontpage and any other page builder out there spits out better code then Wix.

They market to people who have no idea how to build sites, and you end up with actual garbage. Using their text editor is probably the worst thing I've ever had to use.

Moral of the story is I hate Wix.

> A credible decision would give your estimates of harm/benefit for delaying vaccinating people.

It seems to me that the delay imposed by a pause in use of the J&J vaccine to make sure healthcare providers are informed of and have appropriately updated diagnostic and treatment protocols is minor, its basically pulling forward by a few days the effects of the 80% week-over-week drop in J&J vaccine supply that was just in the news.
> Signal, your bias is showing, and it makes me wonder what other vendors will get your ear and be integrated in the future.

The "vendor" in this case is the creator of Signal. The rabbit hole runs very deep on this situation.

Exactly, if you're a business FOSS user and you want a feature, you hire someone to build and contribute it. Wixbro doesn't seem to understand that.
Based on the proportion of businesses that exist utilizing the latter, it indicates we are rewarding the latter. Most people are very price sensitive.
I tried googling whether these are good jobs and it seems mixed. Even with good pay it's gotta have some impact on your psyche to spend the day flagging, among more mundane content, the occasional dick pics and beheadings?
The rumor is that a 14" MacBook Pro with the M1X (4 more cores, should be enough to beat most desktop processors in both single and multi-core benchmarks) is likely to be announced at WWDC (June 7th).

To all those complaining about this feature in signal, can you answer this question- how is a non-profit dedicated to providing a safe messaging supposed to make money to drive that mission? Do you think they will be able to compete with those deep pocket ed competitors to achieve their goals? Have YOU donated significant money regularly to signal to support them? If not why the hell are you cribbing about this change?
I'm usually gaming (immersion is better in superwide) or I'm writing code (more real estate for uncollapsed visual studio windows) or browsing the web with netflix etc snapped to the side.

Your first question is not helpful at all.
> If you were a high risk individual back in January 2020 who ignored their advice and quarantined + wore a mask (an effective mask, i.e N-95), you made the right choice.

Did they? Or was the chance they'd come in contact with Covid at that point very low and those masks would be of much better use at hospitals where the chance of coming into contact with Covid was very high? At least, that was what the experts were saying at the time. I donated my N-95 masks (that I had from California fires) not because we thought they didn't do anything in January 2020, but because the experts said they were of better use in hospitals.

> Science can only explain so much and runs out of answers eventually.

You say this as if there's a better place to find answers. Where is that place?
Unfortunately, there are large swaths of jobs where the employees don't have much choice, so there is no competitive disadvantage either.
CAN is intended for real-time applications, i.e. with bounded latency. Its also intended for use in noisy environments, hence the differential signalling.
Both these characteristics are required for automotive applications.

I2C is relatively susceptible to noise in comparison to CAN. I2C is also very simple to interface with from both a h/w and s/w perspective. CAN, having timing requirements requires more thought on the s/w side.

UARTs are also simple to use and can be used in multi-drop protocols for using multiple devices and can also give good range and noise rejection in some variants (i.e. RS485, RS422, etc).

SPI is for on-board, relatively high-speed use with a handful of devices (maximum) but offers limited noise rejection.

There are also other simple protocols (e.g. one-wire) but they're less popular these days.

PJON on the other hand is pretty much unknown and is a very much higher level protocol that isn't really comparable to CAN-bus.
This is extremely short sighted. The complete opposite is more likely to be true. Privacy is almost dead and soon it will be almost impossible to hide your real identity on the internet and thus avoid consequences for your actions. That will allow companies to black list you across the internet, so if you are an a-hole in lets say Facebook by harassing people, doxing them, do child grooming, scams/fake advertisement, etc. and Facebook bans you because you are bad for advertisement, they are going to be able to put you on a black list and ban you in all other sites even if you use a different IP, browser, account, etc. There are endless ways to tell you are the same person and it's getting worst, for starters you phone, SSO, browser/extensions fingerprinting etc.

It's going to be a lot like your credit score, your criminal record, etc.

At the end of the day companies want advertisement money and if you scare the adds away the same networks that control those adds are going to end up keeping track of you to keep you away.

Once that anonymity is completely gone, the internet will be just like real life. If you are a problematic assh*le, you'll get a record saying just that that employers, land lords, schools, etc. are going to check, just like they do now with credit scores, criminal records and school records and if you don't behave, you are going to be a marginal banned from polite society like it happens in real life outside the internet.
Having to resort to trial-and-error to find the correct key is painful and completely debilitating. You can still develop muscle memory if the labels are correct.
Alright well take a look a job postings and I bet more often than not the word culture will be beside the word rockstar. Typically that means they want you to live/breath their "culture" 24/7. I rarely see the term when the job actually has a decent work/life balance.
Let's see what happens in EU. And FYI Sony and Nintendo are also wrong in my opinion for locking their devices though people don't complain as much since so far they found ways to bypass the locks.
How would you know if you were competent to determine that?
Thought experiment: If the payments feature was based on a fork of MobileCoin that distributes all pre-mined coins evenly to all existing Signal users, rather than the status quo, would people be still upset?

I think it would address some concerns, but personally, mixing concerns of secure messaging and cryptocurrency payments would still make me too uncomfortable.

Sorry for the pedestrian comment, but,

watching the cyberwars happening is surreal. Nuclear material production being attacked by Stuxnet, this current event, others I'm sure, is amazing.

The cyberwars of disinformation as well - completely surreal to see this all play out. Sorry I don't have more to add. It's hard to describe how it feels to see the future arrive like this. Pandemic. Rocket milestones, Mars plans. Nuclear-targeted cyberwar. Cryptocurrency. And flying cars are seemingly coming before self-driving cars perhaps. (Edit: And all backed by an increasingly divided America.)

What a weird twist into the future the last few years have been.
This is unbelievably cringe. We're all adults, keep it professional.
Amazing how people won't spare a minute to enter their details every time they place an order.

Just wanna say I absolutely loved reading that blog post, thanks for the link.
You claim to be judge, jury and executioner in one. I agree it all looks odd, but I can also see why no other integration might easily work. Would be good to dig for any possible issues but it might well be that that they write is actually the real set of reasons. I won't leave signal anytime soon both 1) because I see weirdness but no proof of wrongdoing and 2) because there is literally no better alternative.
I'm sure you mean "stupid people who believe in equality" so it is hilarious that you think one individual, RMS, is more important than the ideas of copyleft.

The best compliment that you can pay RMS is to say that his ideas were greater than the man, and they they deserve to outlive him.

GCC is already separate from RMS/FSF, effectively from the late 1990s with the EGCS fork, and officially now. I expect they will move further away due to the recent debacle.
Not to get too far in the weeds (as I agree with your point) but why wouldn’t holding the funds/shares until settlement cover the clearing? Especially given they control the order routing and risk systems involved?
The he said/she said of RMS and Epstein scandal “misinformation” doesn’t need to be clarified. RMS said some questionable things (to some people). The corrected version is still questionable (to some smaller subset of people). This Epstein thing is not the only questionable thing he’s done/said. He’s a liability regardless of the truth, because the truth does not exonerate him.

The FSF is an advocacy org and you can’t advocate well for a moral position (free software) if your main advocate is ensnared in scandal over morally questionable behavior, regardless of the truth.

The FSF first now has to advocate for the morality of RMS to clear his name enough that he can advocate for the morality something else and have enough people listen. Frankly, his track record beyond the Epstein mess was already dubious, so it’s a losing battle.
There's no need to tamper with anything, the specs already mention this:

Well then, why do we keep looking for technical solutions to non-technical problems.

Please make the GDPR part of US law and we can move on. :)
The Wix post above seems to contradict you, Are the tools Wix mentions for exporting data not working?
Clearly a lexer error.
It took me w while to find out what FLoC is. It stands for "Federated Learning of Cohorts". Both this post and the one from brave never expands this abbreviation.
In german, "to wix" sounds similar to "masturbate", so when their german ads say that you can "wix yourself a page" with their product, well... Needless to say, their German ads are really bad.

This response just seems to confirm that if Wix has a marketing / PR department, they should fire them.
Which ever way the Wix CEO tries to spin it, they did just do a very expensive, weird, obnoxious and confusing guerilla marketing campaign, implying it was a message from WordPress instead of an attack ad: https://wptavern.com/wix-takes-a-jab-at-wordpress-with-bewil...

And Wix also used WordPress’ editor in their mobile app, arguably in violation of the GPL license.

So this genial blankness “I don’t understand why you’re angry” is just gaslighting BS, and really makes me think the Wixxer CEO is a total douchebag.
> For those who are afraid that it will somehow affect QWERTY typing speed, such fears are totally unfounded

What! :- ) Well founded fears, I'd say: I've been typing in Colemak for 10+ years and if I switch to QWERTY I'm significantly slower than before I started using Colemak. — But I'm still glad I made the switch.

> the typing speed is not the productivity bottleneck

Yes agreed. I'd only recommend a software person to switch, if they think the learning process seems fun. But maybe if one writes novels, it's nice to type faster? Or someone who writes a lot here at HN :- )

> hotkeys are generally a MESS

Colemak: Hotkeys = fine :- )
Maybe they should rename MobileCoin to SignalCoin since it appears that was the purpose all along.

As for the conflict of interest, Moxie appears to (currently) have a "name your price" reputation so he could have chosen any cryptocurrency and they'd probably pay him the same advisor fee. When he says that he chose/founded MobileCoin because in his opinion it's the best (in his value system), I actually believe him.

Let’s say a company hired safety inspectors, and the inspectors found legitimate safety issues which would be expensive to fix. If the company fired the inspectors would you really be so pithy about for-profit enterprise? Likewise if a software company hired software security specialists who discovered severe bugs in their flagship product. Or if Bell Labs fired a physicist who discovered a flaw in transistor design.

It’s really no different with ethics. Gebru was hired by Google to study issues of ethics in AI. That was her literal job description. She was not hired to put a positive spin on Google’s business. She was hired as an objective researcher.

I seriously doubt you would actually defend the idea that (say) private-sector scientists or mathematicians should be expected to toe the company line even if they have a legitimate scientific objection: this attitude would be a disaster for the company in the long term, even if “ignore all bad news from the nerds” means they might make more profit in the short term.
We don’t have “long term data” for the next week or two, anyway. Phizer and Moderna’s chances of winning full use authorization this spring look quite good.
That were just the examples when Rust is not really suitable as a drop-in replacement for C/C++. Of course, if your platform is well-supported by Rust compiler and you don't have to write safety critical applications, then using Rust is just a matter of choice.

I don't argue whether it's good or bad language. It's a quite interesting one with its own pros and cons. If it fits you, then it's great, but you should know its limitations.
Wow, Wix took 1 week to respond and came up with this? Bizarre.

That's not how this works at all.

These single member LLC's are considered disregarded entities in most cases. Many nonprofits use LLC's to own property, do app development etc for liability reasons. That doesn't obviate their need to act in a manner consistent with their parent entities objectives and public purpose.
Kind of ironic. I'm on a 75-key keyboard, with no arrow keys. Instead, they're mapped to a layer under (drumroll...) HJKL.

So even if I ever did make the jump to Colemack or Dvorak, I'd probably keep those mappings to the same physical keys. Working in vim, I'd just use my "arrow" keys rather than the native motion keymappings.

I also try to avoid using them in the first place (instead using w/b/f/t/n/etc), but sometimes it's faster to just tap the key a few times rather than "formulate a plan" to reach my target
The risk of dying from a blood clot after receiving the J&J vaccine is six in 6,800,000 (6.8M). The world population is 7,900,000,000 (7.9B). If everyone on the planet got the J&J vaccine tomorrow, and if it is the cause of the clots, then 6,971 people would die from the vaccine.

Yesterday, Covid19 killed 8,803 people (according to worldometers).

We don't want anyone to die from vaccination, and we don't fully understand what the clotting issue is, so it probably makes sense to pause using J&J as long as the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna) have not been implicated (which they haven't). OTOH, if this being in the news causes fewer people to get vaccinated, pausing it may be a mistake that will cause more overall deaths.

Now, your risk of dying either from vaccination or Covid19 depends on various demographic factors not accounted for in my math above. But, nonetheless, the risk of dying from the J&J vaccine is really, really, really tiny.

Like, if I knew there was a 0.00009% chance my car were going to explode every time I got in it and started it, I would not be at all nervous about starting my car everyday for the rest of my life. I'm way more likely, even accounting for my age demographic, to choke to death eating dinner tonight (5,051 deaths from choking in the U.S. in 2015 of which 2,848 were older than 74).

Edit: lifetime risk of car exploding assuming I start it every day for 50 years is about 1.6%. Okay, maybe I wouldn't play that game.

Yeah, the Surface Laptop 3 was on the list of my considerations a couple months ago because it checked most of my boxes, but reports of odd problems (like those you've mentioned) along with a common hairline screen crack problem pushed me to buy a ThinkPad instead.
Kind of surprised almost no comment (no comment I've seen, at the time of writing of course) takes into account the circumstances stated in the very first sentence of the article.

The job was partly about _disinfecting surfaces_ in _schools_ in the midst of a _pandemic_ ; I'm not saying that makes it excusable, or that this case shouldn't have been dealt with better, but in the context of governmental contract tracing apps, lockdowns, constant and various limitations put on freedom of civilians in order to fight the pandemic, I think we can see how even a good willed employer might (wrongly) feel entitled to demand such a thing.

Privacy in the midst of emergencies (we can debate the exact scope of the emergency at hand of course) can be a slippery thing.
> You can't really protect the vulnerable, especially when the vaccines wasn't developed.

If true, then social distancing, masks, and lockdowns couldn't have done anything for the rest of us for the past year either.

The argument for "protect the vulnerable" is that these precautions could be more targeted and so, hopefully, more effective.

Hard to give people an educated choice without looking into the issue first. Once they know what is going on it will most likely be back to normal. There was a similar issue in Europe, but that neatly overlapped with a delivery shortage of the affected vaccine.
