Taking advantage of this post to ask about this -- can anyone explain to me why Signal can't be implemented as a completely offline-first/PWA web-app.

If we throw away the more advanced requirements of perfect forward secrecy, non repudiation, ratcheting for groups, non repudiation, why is it a bad idea to get 80% of the way there with basic offline-first/WPA (+/- secure enclave, WebAuthN, whatever else) messages that are stored on peoples' devices, encrypted before being sent out etc.

Excalidraw is an excellent app that's actually already written about this[0], so we know it's possible in some form. There's exciting p2p technology in the browser (ipfs, gun, etc). To reach all the platforms you could use Electron and in the future Tauri (which purports to be less of a drain on system resources), etc.

What am I not seeing about why this fundamentally can't be done and I can enjoy relatively simple encrypted chat without worrying about installing too many things, in a throw-away shell somewhat similar to pastenow.me? Is it just that no one has built it? surely not

NOTE -- I don't mind too much about not having to be online at the same time to share information with someone else, I don't think it's too hard these days to coordinate a time to share initial contact information/status

[EDIT] correct "offline" to "offline-first/PWA" since it was leading to confusion, didn't include the "-first" enough places, clearly.
That data can't really be trusted, because various sensors often have large offsets or are just bogus on specific hardware. E.g. lm-sensors reports both a sensor with 0 °C and one that's usually something like 90-100 °C on my desktop, while also misreporting the CPU temperature due to not taking the AMD offset into account (might be patched in recent versions).
Ah, I see. I was thinking more about the neurological side, which seems to suggest that similar mechanisms apply in addiction and withdrawal between nicotine, heroin and cocaine. (see for example [1])

As far as sociological consequences go, there's of course no comparison for various reasons. I don't know the role withdrawal plays, though, which is why it would interesting to get some first hand account.

Alcator C-Mod has been setting records like this for a long time, only with Pressure and Confinement, instead of Temperature and Confinement. IIRC, you need Pressure, Temperature, and Confinement time to be above the critical threshold. (eg. high temperature means nothing if your density is very low, you've barely got any gas)

So it's not clear this actually can be scaled to fusion.

I'll note that MIT's ARC reactor design (SPARC first), seems on track to deliver all three, and in a much more compact body, and with a liquid molten lithium salt blanket design that might actually be workable, and maintainable (e.g. serviced).

However, there's still the problem of helium "ash" and other by products produced by fusion, and how to remove them. It's not a problem now because after 100 seconds, you're emptying the entire chamber, but this means you can only "pulse" the fusion reaction, you can't run a continuous reaction, unless you figure out a way to clean out the products of the reaction, and no one has demonstrated that as yet I'm away. Perhaps the divertor design the Chinese have come up with can do that, but I feel like they would have publicized it as it is a long standing problem.

You don’t inhale solely through the cigarette until you’re a seasoned smoker. You suck a bit of smoke in as you breathe in, gradually more as you get used to it.

Smoking never made sense to me until I spent some time in an English winter. It warms the air up when it’s so cold it hurts to breathe. The nicotine feels nice as well.

I only ever smoked a few times though. It started to feel normal and I took this warning sign to heart and stopped forever.

If you have a good cooler with lots of thermal capacity and good fan (like an Arctic Cooling or Noctua, nothing at the extreme end), the increase is very gradual. Also, short spikes in loads are well absorbed with minimal temperature changes.

Nevertheless the numbers you mention are neither unrealistic, nor impossible in stock cooling and/or sustained load scenarios.
It's the ratio of "usefulness of this feature" Vs "effort to setup and learn to use this feature".

The oven clock isn't very useful, so if it takes more than even a few seconds to figure out how to set, it isn't worth it.

An antipattern is to force the user's choice. For example to make an annoying nag screen "you haven't yet set the clock!" before any action the user does want to do to tip that ratio in favour of seeing the feature get used.

Ethically though both are the same act, this is the point. A lawyer might say "well achually" but that by itself does not make the western actions any better morally although it might give them a justification to pat themselves in the back.
> The real revolution would be open data which is wholly and exclusively owned by users (or user groups for collaboration) and loaned to proprietary software for specific limited tasks.

How would that work in practice? By its very nature open data would also be accessible to proprietary programs although the reverse need not be the case.

Seems like we will need open data and code. Either one open will not do.
> I live in Belgium where we already have eID and SSO apps that work okish. But I fail to see the need for an EU wide ID. I don't think most EU citizens use services from other EU countries than the one they live in. Not services where they need to ID themselves. How much of the population would be in the category needing something like this?

Is there reason why this isn't used because noone needs it or because it's too inconvenient to use because we don't have such a system?

The person you're replying to literally gave you an example of a decisive battle, the Battle of Tsushima.

And there are many others, depending on how decisive you mean.

The battle of Sedan in the Franco-prussian war resulted in the loss of most of the French army, their emperor and government. A siege and a few more battles had to be fought before France surrendered, but it was a foregone conclusion.

The battles of Tannenberg and Masurian lakes in WWI were decisive and stopped Russia for up to years, and they never recovered in the north, their only successes coming against the Austria-Hungarians.

In WWII, the Bagration and Manchurian strategic operations were pretty decisive on land. Midway was on water. The invasions of the low countries and France, Denmark and Norway, Yugoslavia and Greece, (present day) Malaysia and Indonesia were decisive and swift as well ( even if they indeed resulted in a war of attrition ultimately lost to allies of the decisively defeated countries in question).

Although not working class by any means, I experienced a similar kind of culture shock after going to state schools until I was 16, then spending two years doing my A-levels at a very expensive boarding school. I was the commoner, surrounded by people whose parents own diamond mines in South Africa, investment banks in Hong Kong, large country estates in Scotland. There were some nice people there and I made some good friends, but there were also plenty of other people with the unquestioning belief that Rebanks describes - effectively that they were born to rule. It could be really intimidating, to the point where the belief was so strong that it bent reality and could convince other, less-well-off people to play into the submissive role that their confidence implied. However, if you started not to play the game, they became really unsettled, like they didn't have any flexibility - it was all based on a fixed set of scripts that most people didn't deviate from.

Also reminds me of that school report of Boris Johnson - "Boris really has adopted a disgracefully cavalier attitude to his classical studies. It is a question of priorities, which most of his colleagues have no difficulty in sorting out. Boris sometimes seems affronted when criticised for what amounts to a gross failure of responsibility (and surprised at the same time that he was not appointed Captain of the School for next half). I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation which binds everyone else." Plus ça change.

Agreed! And in cases where the convolution kernel (bokeh, but in frequency space) is something more complicated than gaussian, FFT can definitely be a very good option (kernel/bokeh-res can be near-ish to the res of the image-to-convolve, for example, and full-colour kernels/bokehs too).
But but but you can control it with an app! And your voice!
Equally. I haven't wanted a cigarette for a few years now, the first 2 or 3 months were very challenging-what worked for me in the end was cold turkey and a strong will to quit and someone who believed in me to help me through it. If you don't want to quit, you won't. Try next time until it works. The first 2 or 3 years, I kept finding myself reminding my brain that I don't smoke, I missed my smoking-buddy (myself-it's a different kind of lonely when you are with a cigarette, it's a kind of comfort). Some years later I forgot I even used to smoke. Deprogramming, exactly as you say. The addict just stops visiting and you forget about her.

I understand this example to be of historical note because it was exceptional. Many people came over for the promise of farmland or gold or something that they could capitalise on.
In Belgium, we have several different regions ( Flemish, Brussels and Wallonia)

For some integrations with Wallonia, we are currently forced to use the federal integration, since their implementation hasn't even started yet :(

You are correct about eidas, it seems to be handled by the federal government currently, but there's not much documentation on it ( Belgium) and i have seen some applications integrating that way. So i suppose the issue is documentation and discoverability.

And the partial conflict of interest with itsme
> Just to mention Belgium's example despite having an eID, you can't even change your address online in most communes and you need to physically present yourself and demand the address to be changed.

I don't see why this should be done online. The registration/change of address requires a proof. Many services like bank accounts, pensions, tv tax etc. are linked to one's registration address. A one time physical presence (or a similar variant) is a reasonable tradeoff between verification and convenience. You create a meaningful hurdle and make people liable for their statements. Convenience is not the only metric to decide what should be done online.
>>the only real hope of change is that a higher power takes more control.

A more durable solution would be to move. If sovereignty is ceded to that higher power, and that higher power subsequently becomes corrupt, your range of options significantly narrow.

I think the recent attack against the Irish health services agency shows the need for something like this

Once you have an EU wide digital identiy+authentication (with multifactor and biometrics and all that)
You can then move onto implementing fine grained authorization for people to manage what data various government agencies get and can share

They will probably create a system very similar to what Okta does which is great as it would save 27 countries reinventing the wheel, and one thing about security that is important is not to reinvent the wheel.

You are right that Chinese people don't like talking about politics, but not because they fear the government. They tend to avoid confrontation in general. And also Chinese media spends very little time bashing foreign countries, so most people have very favorable opinions about foreign countries even if there are political tensions.

Research by reputed western institutions show conclusively that it is false that people are afraid of the government.

This paper by Harvard shows that in 2016, 93% of the people are satisfied with the central government. It also shows that people are not afraid to complain about the government. https://ash.harvard.edu/files/ash/files/final_policy_brief_7...

This other Harvard paper about censorship shows that censorship's goal is not to remove criticism, but to limit collective action, regardless of whether the speech is pro or anti government. The paper shows that many people are not afraid of, and do, complain about the government, and that if their comments do not instigate collective action, then they are unlikely to be removed. https://gking.harvard.edu/publications/how-censorship-china-...

This video by a Canadian expat shows, with concrete and verifiable examples, that despite censorship, people complain about issues, and that the government listens to grievances and even actively addresses them. https://youtu.be/i6jBayUuB4A

Plenty of people have made more money from home appreciation and downsizing than working. That's a problem imho, but you can't blame others for wanting to do the same thing...

And of course, if you buy in such a market, you are all the more desperate (quite logically) to keep it that way.
I think it's the result of rising inequality (especially in America).

The rich get richer and the rest just keep sinking lower and lower, with stagnant wages and ever growing inflation.

As for around here in Seattle, there are immigrants everywhere. I jog through the park most days, and I hear languages from all over the world. They have their stereos blasting away, and large families with kids running around, and parked cars line the street. The smells coming from their cooking are delightful, I wish they'd offer me a bite :-)

Looks to me like they're doing very well.
I have no idea how you can conclude that the American door to immigration is shut, or that they are doing badly.
So much this.

Excellent.

There is a shift from university for its own sake, back to skilled work in making things. A more rational motivation.

I was far too often, far too much like the arrogant snots the author encountered at university; I had been conditioned to be the smartest guy in the room. But I was passionate about computers and the engineering that had created them, and I worked hard. Not sure that the space I was taking up would have had more benefit to someone else.
That's the "smart" in "smart remote control" apparently.

Given that it's 2021, I wouldn't be surprised if their tech was that the remote control first connects to their servers to do <something> and you're actually subscribed to a cost plan in order to control your devices.
> Did you know that the reason the Titanic was built was to en-masse ship poor people to the US? The first class bit was mostly window dressing.

Third-class passage was £8, approximately $1000 in today's currency, i.e. more expensive than an equivalent trans-atlantic flight today, and too expensive for poor people to typically consider.

> Middle class and rich people rarely immigrate. It's the poor that do.

"The median income of foreign-born households in 2016 was $53,200, compared to U.S. born resident’s median household income of $58,000."

That seems like middle class people to me.

Do we have different definitions of poor?
Yes, you can't, but there are lots of indicators you can use to judge how much you can trust any service.

And a service that has been sold countless times and has engaged in shady behaviour in the past scores pretty badly there.

> The thing about smoking is that when you quit smoking you quit it every day. [...] So do yourself a favor and avoid any substance that creates such light switches in your mind

Unfortunately there are switches that one cannot just avoid - like food.

I was watching a West Wing episode last week, where a character says "An alcoholic cannot have 'just a drink'." It's the same for a food addict, except s/he must have 'just a portion'. I have a decent record with shaking off addictions, but with food I just can't go cold-turkey and it kills me.
This is what resonates with me, I went to a declining secondary school inthe UK and the amount of clever, clever kids who were written off because they were poor, or their parents were from the wrong side was scary. They just didn't bother with them. So much wasted talent and potential. Think of how much they could have contributed to society.
I would't say that any of these approaches have inherit advantages, the broader use case context would dictate which approach is more practical long-term.
If you're worried about surveillance you should probably know governments already have your data right now... they issue your passports/ids/etc...

This is to just allow you to sign in to other parties with your government ID if needed. (instead of other parties asking you for passport/ID for compliance/KYC)
The problem with ssn is specific to the US. Other countries have sane ways of authenticating citizens and the personal id number is just used as a global foreign kes for all government or public or bank database where you need to uniquely identify a citizen.

Do these externalities also affect thermal solar power? It tends to be a bit less efficient than photovoltaic when it comes to power production but probably avoids the rare earth metals.
The point is, a contractual obligation is not the same as "what your job is".

Your job contract does not state the details of your day-to-day job, but that is definitely "part of your job", so it is clear that your contract does not define what your job actually is.

Conversely, your contract having various obligations in it does not mean that those obligations ARE your job. They are just obligations.

There are also sex differences in sodium handling ability.

Older women who have taken blood pressure medication for many years, e.g. 10 to 20 years, have risks of losing the ability to control well the concentrations of sodium and potassium in the blood.

If they follow a low-sodium diet, they have a high risk of hyponatremia (too little sodium in the body). Depending on the diet, hypokalemia (too little potassium in the body) is also possible.

If these conditions are not diagnosed promptly, severe illness or even death are the consequence.

Unfortunately, I was not aware of these risks. My mother belonged to this risk group, but nobody knew this and her periodic blood tests were perfect, because they included many other tests, except the sodium and potassium concentrations in blood, which are mandatory to detect this problem.

My mother had very serious problems because hyponatremia was detected too late, so I believe that more people should become aware of this risk.

There are a lot of old women taking medication for high blood pressure, so all should know that a periodic cheap test for sodium in blood can easily prevent reaching a stage when complete recovery becomes difficult or impossible.

Also, any low-sodium diet should actually measure or compute how much salt you eat, because too low sodium is even more dangerous than too high sodium.
