That's a fine definition, but puts middle class in at least the top 10%, if not comfortably the top 1%, by wealth and income.

My question was whether we have different definitions of poor - if you are distinguishing poor as everyone below middle class, and this is your definition of middle class, then you're simply claiming that everyone is poor.

Saying "poor people do X" now just boils down to "some people do X" [for example, the claim that poor people buy $1000 retail iPhones]. To me, that's not a very useful or interesting definition for this purpose.

One example for this that i have been thinking of is chat. Instead of having 15 different apps, we should be able to choose which UI we want to use, and then that opens the chat streams. Kind of like email, where you can use any client.
However most big companies would fight this every step as they loose control.

Edit: I envision it a bit like streams of data that you can subscribe / push to. Think RSS mixed with a pub/sub type of model. You would subscribe to the hackernews datastream, and submitting articles and comments are done using push. The push message would have some predefined metadata fields that are obligatory (article url, title, summary or comment text).

I can’t understand why Doge is the brunt of all cryptocurrency criticism. It is fair to call it a joke, but it’s very different to call it a scam. First, there was no genesis allocation. Second, the creator didn’t even mine at all (well, I guess we don’t know). Third, there was no promise made that it would do anything it didn’t do at genesis, and even then it was one of the fastest adopters of what was considered new technology at the time.

A scam would involve a genesis allocation to the founder/promoter, tax or staking rewards to them, aggressive early mining, promises that it would do something that it didn’t do, aggressive promotion to investors at inflated prices, minimal investment of founder rewards into development, and personal use of funds raised.

That describes almost every major crypto project, including Doge because of large early rewards, but far less than almost anything else, and that was somewhat mitigated by constant inflation. It may also be fair to say that Doge was hijacked by just a few miners or wallet scammers on Reddit, or social media personalities. There are big problems with its distribution like any other crypto. Maybe your concerns are warranted, but if so, you should take a hard look at every other crypto, or startup, or stock.

Tell me about it. The amount of YouTube videos where talking faces proclaim what Apple (or whoever) will or should do next with no understanding of what they just said is overwhelming my feed.

Maybe I’m ageing towards being a curmudgeon, but it really seems like the voices that are loudest online are by far the least informed across the board.

Watching Rene Ritchie try to explain what “pro users” need from an iPad, or how the M1 means it’ll soon run xCode, is really disappointing when you think about how many people believe that if someone has a YouTube channel or a blog they must be a subject expert.

What do you mean by "software based rendering"? I was under impression that all of rendering is on GPU; first with point clouds being calculated in a compute shader, and after that the points being converted to 'splats' and rendered as quads.

It is strange that Dreams didn't make a bigger splash. It is the first time an engine focused on making low-polygon assets look as aesthetically pleasing as possible. The ability to turn up the rendering roughness in some early sketches, and then tune it down once more details are added is incredible. I expected a small revolution with many competing engines reusing the tech, but nothing happened so far?

2^10 is 1024, so hundreds of requests. Not a very high number. And since it’s a counter, even less. Easy to disguise; the official app is likely to do more requests in a one-minute session. And obviously, sophisticated attackers aren’t limited to one IP.

I’m suspecting you meant “easily guessable” in the human sense, not the cryptographic/security sense. My bad if I misunderstood you. Again, I’m not saying Instagram has any security problem, I’m just saying that this ID scheme in particular isn’t a security feature.
> The problem with web apps is that doing timing sensitive stuff such as encryption and decryption in javascript is risky and difficult. Javascript also takes a serious toll on performance and battery life.

This feels like somewhere WebAuthn and/or Emscripten/WASM help a little bit here? I'm most worried about vulnerabilities to the underlying protocol and less about perf/battery life (maybe some side-channel attacks?).

> I'm assuming "completely offline" means that it still sends some data somewhere, otherwise the messenger wouldn't make any sense.

Yes, I did a bad job of explaining this, but online-when-you-need-to-be. "offline" was meant to mean "offline-first", a common frontend terminology for PWAs.

> Adding encryption (proper encryption) to the Telegram client would net you a fully native experience that works cross-platform without issues. Going native also allows you access to stuff like TPMs, although you can assume most desktop machines still don't have them. You also have much more control over the security properties of the code if you stick to native code.

> The folks over at Matrix are experimenting with running their Matrix servers in a peer to peer configuration on the device itself. Stuff that server into a cross platform client like Fluffychat or Element and you've got yourself a chat app with federation and cross platform chat support without relying on any specific server.

Well that would be great, I'd love to just do that.

> If you want to stick to a browser only solution, I'm not entirely sure how you'd go about making that talk to other clients. IPFS requires access to a third party gateway, as do most peer to peer solutions. I think you can make WebRTC work as a means of full P2P through a DHT but I'm not entirely sure how.

I think you can get away with signaling (STUN/TURN) here -- if you have WebRTC you can go STUN-only and even if you have to TURN if you're sending encrypted data then it shouldn't matter. Honestly I think IPFS is actually overkill for this (though it has it's upsides), the only technology you really need for this to work is WebRTC + a STUN/TURN server.

> The problem with a simple, offline, encrypted chat client is that it's not simple. Security is very hard; if you're willing to give that up, there's plenty of IRC web clients for you to choose from. If you've got any good ideas on how to build this, I encourage you to work it out and make a proof of concept, because it sounds like it could be very useful.

But at this point we have methods that work, there's no need to rethink the primitives, we've got good well-tested schemes for sending simple messages. In the desktop world simply gpg encrypting and sending files is good enough (even a basic scheme with asymmetric crypto + nonce + symmetric key + symmetric crypto), why is messaging so hard as to be unattempted even in the 1-to-1 case?

Maybe the only way for this to really get it's tired kicked is to just build the thing in a weekend (if I'm right about it being so simple then it "should" be easy, right?) and post it to HN.

> The digital wallet will securely store payment details and passwords and allow citizens from all 27 countries to log onto local government websites or pay utility bills using a single recognised identity, the newspaper said, citing people with direct knowledge of the plans.

Does it seems like solution in search of a problem?

I'm sure there's a % of people who deal with multiple EU governments at a time or frequently move. But to me that seems like a tiny fraction. Would be good if they published some stats around this i.e., y% or x million would use this on a daily/monthly basis or some such. Would be a shame if such a mega undertaking would end up useful to a niche customer base.

> China turning away from communism...

If you were to ask the Chinese Communist Party, whether or not they "turned away" from Communism, I think the answer would be a hard "NO".

China has a complicated economy. If anything, China demonstrates that Communism and Capitalism can be made to co-exist in a weird disconcerting way. I don't think it's a particularly good model for how to run things, especially when mixed-in with authoritarian leadership.

Let's not forget, however, that China is far from an "affluent" country. If your definition of affluent is focused on measurements like income and net worth of the population, China as a whole still falls well outside of affluent.

Yes, there's a sliver of population that is wealthy even by international standards, but the bulk of the population has income in the low $100's of dollars per month. That's what enables China to be the factory to the world. Is it going to stay that way? I don't know, but I think the CCP wants to keep it like it is.
The documentation is excellent, and the Programmable I/O (PIO) is a unique feature. Still, the lack of WiFi and Bluetooth makes the RP2040 uninteresting for me compared to the ESP32 in a DIY project. With the ESP32, I can quickly throw in a web interface and use Over-The-Air updates. I think they missed the opportunity to position them against the ESP32.

This YouTube channel has recently done a number of great teardowns of electrical outlets (receptacles).

Go with Commercial grade.

I would add, if you can afford it, install AFCI outlets as the first outlet in the circuit, or an AFCI breaker in the circuit panel. These are required for residential (non-commercial) bedrooms for new construction in the latest revision of the NEC fire code recommendations, but they are way more expensive than you'd expect to pay for the he dead-simple outlets.

Frankly as much as I read it (twice now) I find nothing good or bad to say, I don't seem to get the point and maybe someone can enlighten me? Is this a piece about how people became fragile at the face of delayed gratification or when something doesn't go their usual way (it seems a twitter unfollow initiated this whole thing)? So many questions.

I understand that for some, that represents a drama which surely begs the question of what the person who wrote this thinks a friendship means and what the boundaries of that friendship are since a benign online transaction shattered their world view. I also don't get the parallels to other people? Am I missing the point? What is OP trying to say?
I have friends I haven't talked to for ages and that friendship is not quantifiable by the amount of likes they give me on twitter/ig/fb and even less on the amount of messages we share but it's qualitative, when we meet we always have a blast and I can count on them if I have to move to another place (well some would help, others I am damn sure they won't lol).

To me this comes over as a bit hollow and a tad whiny? I don't know. Again, I might be missing something crucial here.

(As a sidenote I'm getting a few GPT-3 vibes but seriously there surely is a function that states "any article has non null probability of being written by GPT-3" so you can ignore this last part...)
> With 264KB of RAM, you can concentrate on implementing features, not optimising your application for size.

I love this comment.

Anyone old enough to have coded for 8 and 16 bit home computers, or older mainframes knows how this is true, but it feels quite funny on the day and age of multi-GB heap sizes.
Some people do, but not everyone, and I'm personally not interested in an app that does it perfectly but no one can use.

Also, I did not mean to imply that the features could not be done -- they ostensibly can, it's just that I am not willing to accept the lack of them or possible lack of them as a reason, because a lot of people don't even know it's happening/don't know when it's missing. More interested in increasing the base of people who use more secure messaging that is more independent and simpler to understand where possible.

The iPhone 4 had a 3.5" screen but was 5" in physical size. iPhone 12 mini is 5.4" screen with ~5.7" physical size. So a bit larger, but not by that much.

On the other hand, C# + postgres is a super sweet combo. I don't use EntityFramework, so I don't know how well they play together, but if you write sql queries and run them from c#, it's super nice. I typically have a generic repository class that generates all the statements and it works great (I recently made the query generator able to generate inner join if I pass it filters that are not found on the table/object, based on a naming convention (any property that end in "Id" that is not the main entity Id and not a direct property, use the part before the "Id" part as the join table name) - it works great too!).

I also cache certain prepared statements in a static concurrent dictionary, so I can short circuit if the it the query/insert/update has been run before for the specific object type. That way all of the string manipulation can be avoid for each query - I just use a previous statement but with different sql parameters. On every deployment the cache gets cleared because the app basically get restarted, so it won't go stale. It's very cool (at least in my mind). The only indirect rule I have is that nothing else should modify the main schema besides my migrations and not while the app is using it (using FluentMigrator code that execute on app startup).

If I may ask, why don't you like C#? I totally get the php thing - I cannot stand it at all either.
> Note that we have a right to equal treatment under the law, but that is not the same thing as a right to fair treatment.

In practice at the aggregate population level, that is such an important distinction, and leads to the kind of pay-for-play judicial system the US increasingly practices, which weakens the US' internal signaling on important inefficiencies to root out. The more money tokens you put into the system, the more "fair" treatment you obtain, regardless of the negative externalities imposed. This is not new in history and around the world, but US rule of law has been declining for decades [1], and I believe it bodes ill for the US.
