Its not possible (or feasible) to implement the key telegram features in Matrix or other always-e2ee protocols.

>It might be easier to have some sort of plugin that overlays encryption on top of Telegram [...] and everyone needs to use your custom clients.

Its against the telegram api ToS. You are not allowed to implement features that require other parties to download your client. You can only add local features that do not affect other user who use the official client.

I experienced this first-hand. Parents went through bankruptcy after my father committed credit card fraud. Both parents actually talked about money less during the period right before and after the bankruptcy.

I think the idea was that they were ashamed and did not want to worry me. But it ended up much worse as far as its negative affect on me, because the bankruptcy led to a jarring change in lifestyle for us and breeds distrust between the child-parent relationship.

If/when I'm a parent, I will be much more transparent with my kids about how the family finances work, so they can learn how to manage money responsibly.

The difference is dentists in the US cost money (unless you have a job with dental insurance which many low-end jobs do not). People who don't go to dentists regularly probably can't afford it. The Covid-19 shot is free (at least in the US).
> I'd use native Signal desktop client written on Rust if there was an option. But there isn't, thus I'm using the Electron app.

I’m not going to say anything else other than that this is exactly what Signal wants. They are actively hostile towards efforts to make third-party clients.

You can argue that this is for security reasons, and maybe I’d buy that.

But I would also bring up the fact that they implicitly control both ends in a binary distributed or web(thus- backdoorable) fashion most of the time. I’m not saying they do that, but since they have control of the clients, the servers and the protocol it is not impossible.

>As I see it now, even if the problems described in the article are real, the great majority of people don't care enough to make the effort required to change their habits.

Then it's not solving any immediate problems for them. Anyway - people get obsessed with getting the entire planet on to distributed networks. IMO that's not realistic - the mass population is always going to choose simple, corporate shit unless there's a direct need for something disruptive enough that they'll spend literally days working out how to do it - eg learning how to find and download torrents.

>Looking back at the time this article was written, I used to believe the same things, that people would rise up, mesh networks were going to change the world, and the distributed web was going to change everything.

It won't change everything but I think it will become important. General purpose computing will continue it's dying path and in 10-15 years, normies will be solely on their smartphone walled gardens and programmers, scientists, muckrakers, enthusiasts etc will populate some kind of very niche darknet (<5% population) - or an array of totally disparate darknets aligned to various niches - whether theyr'e running over the Internet proper or some kind of alt network.
As you said that article seemed to be more about the appearance of objects on a CRT than lag, and I kind of agree with the nostalgia crowd in that respect. But [raster] CRT lag is always going to be 16ms (worst case) and will never be better, while LCDs can in theory run much faster as technology improves.

If we shift the discussion to vector CRTs (which have no pixels) such as the one the old Tempest [0] game used, the CRT has a major advantage over an LCD and the lag can in principle be whatever the application programmer wants it to be. I miss vector games and there's really no way to duplicate their "feel" with LCDs.

The good part for the developer is this mindset is a huge minority. Low single digit of population if even that.

You don't need fast upload for this. You are just sending keyboard and mouse controls up and getting some kind of video feed down.
Who would possibly care that their instant messages might be made to arrive out of order? You could even claim it as some sort of feature. If you get confronted about something you said just claim that you said it in a different order. Plausible deniability though forgeable ordering. Which strikes me as sort of funny because deniability is something that often gets promoted as a critical feature but has no practical implications for anyone either.
I see a reference to GOLD in the previous message. Does anybody know how that project is doing?

I recall that it was a promising and higher performance for LD, but I heard that it had stagnated, and Fedora stopped using it. Is it getting any better? A better performing linker may be a nice benefit for large C++ projects.
I use MacBook Pro 2020, so it is probably faster. Also 1.4 GB is quite difference from 1GB. These factors can multiply the run time.

Superintendent uses the same approach (i.e. use the CSV extension).

But I don't think we should call that python ... since it essentially just calls C code in Sqlite.

I bet people as principled snd heavy with their convictions on privacy as the parent commentor is...is such a small portion of people that it won’t do too much to go over the top to accommodate them when you aren’t trying to do some crazy shenanigans any way.

The other problem with certain niches of people on Reddit, HN, etc, are that they don’t spend much money either. So they have lots of fringe requirements but scoff at paying $5 a month. Meanwhile, in the coworking community I run that has people from all sorts of backgrounds, they’re much different than HN or Reddit tech geek crowd. If something helps them. They’ll spend some money. They don’t despise subscriptions etc.
> with actual vaccine science

Who decides what that is? Plenty of actual scientists publish papers in actual science journals that conflict with each other and with official public health advice. The whole vaccines cause autism idea came from what looked like actual vaccine science.

Knowledge isn't actually that sure. Sometimes the authorities are wrong. Remember when bread was at the bottom of the food pyramid?

Seem to be or actually are? Are you using "facts" or media sensationalization to form your opinion?
> My strong impression over the last couple of decades is for journalists to take many things at face value and defer to "experts" without digging into things like potential conflicts of interests or motives etc.

A lot of it is the fact that there's no money in journalism, never mind investigative journalism. It's cheaper to have people write stories based on their imaginations or their readings of Twitter.
The subject of the article has nothing to do with decomissioning working appliances, it is about not allowing new gas links or gas stoves, entirely different subject here. Every new gas stove we add today has a working life of 15-30 years. Measured over the course of a products lifetime, yes, disallowing gas heating, stoves, water heaters etc in new construction makes a large difference.

There is money (and usually in cash) in the police line of work. It's much harder to make any money from the public in the army. So there is much less at stake.

Police can make arbitrarily good amount of money if they are corrupt. That's what is unbalancing things.
They're not. Nor does the article assert that they are. You're attacking a straw man.

Natural gas heating is the largest greenhouse gas source in my province and many other jurisdictions. Not providing natural gas hookups to new construction is one way to reduce that. The loss of natural gas cooking is a side effect.

But if you really need a gas stove you don't need a hook up, you can use a bottle and nobody will stop you. Carbon taxes might make it expensive, but nobody will stop you.
The link in the article to the original Nature paper is broken. Anyone have a valid link?

This just reads as incredibly bigoted. We're getting a decent amount of immigration influx but the majority of population rise is from out of state. Affordable housing is being developed and has been the last few years . New funding initiatives for affordable housing are in the works across the bay [1] [2], and there's a massive mixed income complex in planning for a major site across the river from downtown Tampa.

Demand is outpacing supply here. Plain and simple.

Right? All the can't "give up heating my beans" sarcasm makes you wonder if we've all become so bought in to our candidates that we just accept our politicians BS blindly. Does anyone fact check anything?

As ylermenezes mentioned cooking accounts for less than half a percent of total natural gas. So, no, we don't need to start somewhere. We need to start where it makes a difference.

60% of US electricity is generated from fossil fuels (1). 40% of that is from Natural Gas. 20% from Coal which produces almost twice the carbon as Natural Gas.

And (2) says 60% of that energy is lost in conversion. So, converting from natural gas to electricity would actually increase carbon emissions in many parts of the US.

So, where should we start? I'm not an expert, but just this quick analysis says decreasing the amount of fossil fuels used for US generation would be a much better choice.

People can choose to get their information from places other than the large platforms. To me, the "marketplace" is the internet as a whole. If people choose to stay on the platform, is it not similar to choosing CNN and not ever looking at Fox? In the end, people have many options but choose to limit which options they engage with
This is a very good point (it's my view that government has abdicated a lot of the power it did have in recent years and tech has filled the void, but that's another story). When I say "those in power", I mean the broad interpretation, not just government.

I agree that we need norms that limit any concentration of power. We've had anti-monopoly laws on the books for 130 years that serve a valid purpose. We may need to look at more laws to deal with recent constructs, I.e. platforms. I can see a superficial contradiction between not wanting government power, and giving government the power to break up monopolies or platforms. But if the overall goal is a restriction on how power can be concentrated, it's still in keeping with the idea of limiting what "those in power" can do.

I'm sure I've missed something. I definitely take your point.
Given the current state of society as it pertains to relationships between the sexes and how frequently that permeates through the sciences in a negative sense, it's generally my assumption that something like this is influenced by it
OP here.

Yes! we use Sqlite under the hood with modified C extensions, so it can be as fast as it can be. (Just try not to touch JS code for this)

However, I have recently learned that SIMD is even faster than C, but I haven't explored it yet.
well, but from security standpoint it should be fine?
It might also be naive firmware that expects the same thermal/cooling constraints when everything else is otherwise going to cool passively. Or even a design choice to actively cool so a quick wake will be in a better thermal state.
ah, the apologist argument. might as well throw up our hands and do nothing then. sheep are easier to tend when subdued and mollified anyway.

the point is that the pandemic isn't a bigger threat to our daily lives than common diseases for most people, yet we've blathered on about it like it's an imminent threat to everyone for over a year and a half. we don't do that for (other) respiratory infections or tuberculosis, for instance, which affect the same order of magnitude of people worldwide every year. this misfocus is acutely irrational (an availability/recency bias). the novelty only exacerbates the misfocus, it doesn't justify it in any way.

the pandemic isn't even a long-term threat in the way that concentration of power, as manifested by this privacy/surveillance issue, is for every person on earth (and the way climate change is for humankind on a multigenerational scale). it's just that the change is so relatively slow and incremental that we don't understand the severity of the threat until it's overwhelming. it's how we boil frogs so easily.

Well, it’s scientifically accurate that as abundance and diversity has decreased in our waters, it hasn’t been an opportunity for other species to fill in the gap so to speak.

We are seeing some warmer climate sharks moving further north, but that isn’t helpful to the foundation of our food chain. We do have invasive species of mollusks which have set up camp here permanently, but they seem to suffer and decrease in number just as the native species do. There are invasive crabs, but again, they aren’t about to patch the holes in this system.

Also, it’s important to note that our winter temperatures still hit 6 or 7 degrees Celsius. There are no warm climate creatures I know of who can move in during a hot summer and stick around for winter. That means our previously stable, temperate environment doesn’t appear to be able to be likely to host many creatures in any migratory range I know of.

I’m not a marine biologist, perhaps you know better. This ocean is a passion of mine though, these matters take up a lot of my energy and mental real estate. I want to believe it will thrive very much, but signs really aren’t positive lately.

Apart from this die out, there are a multitude of other dire situations as well. We’ve extirpated several species, caused numerous salmon population extinctions and collapses, the near extinction of a resident killer whale pod, caused the collapse of multiple species of rockfish - the list goes on.
I hope the experiment works!

It's likely you have thought of this and decided against, but curious to hear your reasoning. Why would this this not work similar to the 'Show' section? i.e. a dedicated page for YC startups.

> So if you have a set of experts saying "Epstein killed himself," even if those experts have conflicts of interest and/or were appointed by those with CoI, a lot of journalists will defer.

Journalists don't make claims that they can't back up. On net, I think this is for the best. Journalists upholding this code is what gives us useful, credible news.

> But I wish there was more nuance in coverage sometimes, to acknowledge that something weird or shady is going on while acknowledging there's no evidence for anything in particular.

I think conventional reporting on Epstein's death features all the anomalies but stopped making claims when the trail of evidence ran cold. If you can't provide any evidence that the guard was paid to look the other way, that's sadly where the story ends.

However, a really cool and interesting phenomenon is what happens to people at interesting stages of their lives. People who have kept secrets sometimes feel shame or pity when they realize they're dying or when they have children. So we could end up with some surprising revelations in the century to come.

ESOP is often at least loosely correlated with round size. You can always increase it, but there's some dilution benefits to pushing for a smaller obligation. I would probably go back (given the target ownership) asking for higher cap and 10% esop. Everything is negotiable.
You seem to have a chip on your shoulder regarding telegram. I’ve seen your comments up and down this thread and they do not merit rebuttal because they’re so dearly held opinions.

But let me be clear: all cryptography is “untested” or “unused” at some point. There’s nothing inherently wrong with making a new cryptographic method.

Criticisms I would agree with are:

1) Advertising as a secure messenger (or: the most secure) as it is stupid to say “most” and the security is untested.

2) bug bounties on the protocol as a marketing method to show that it’s not broken.

3) being of russian origin (which, obviously they can’t control, but if this was a US company doing this it wouldn’t have gotten so much negative press).

—-

What we might forget, especially as telegram marketing is so slick and the art so good: building things is hard, we might not always make the right move- it’s fair to criticise but I doubt any of us would do markedly better, we’d just make different trade offs; and some other forum for “accessibility design” would be lambasting us for making our own keyboard or something.
