I will also propose separating transport planes.
There is no excuse for mixing cars and pedestrians in an inner city. I see no viable excuse for traffic lights and forcing petrol-burning vehicles to idle.
All car traffic that crosses with living spaces should be in tunnels etc, and all flow controlled as in highway entrance/exits and roundabouts, etc.
But still, there is proof that people in that time believed that Yvonne had been sick, and died. Would they have buried Jeanne under her daughter's name and no one noticed?

> Yes, all that Substack really is is blogging but with better monetization.

That's not even true. Some people enjoy receiving newsletters. Substack gives me a free newsletter platform. I can send out to 100 or 10,000 daily recipients all the same, at no cost. That's actually quite nice and you simply don't get that with vanilla blogging. Newsletters at scale are expensive if you want reliability + frequency. If I just want to operate a free blog and newsletter with eg 10,000 subscribers, with no desire to monetize it at all, I'd otherwise have to eat that cost from my own pocket.

Mailchimp wants $1,200 per year for 120,000 sends per month (10k subscribers * 3 newsletters per week) via their transactional offering. Most people can't justify that if you're not going to monetize.
It already happens when that enterprise and consumer software is deployed in high integrity computing scenarios.

That's if you assume a static set of readers and writers and fixed prices.

If every reader gets to choose which writers get their money, the least popular writers will get nothing and the most popular ones will get much more than they expected.

Then the writers who got nothing will presumably give up, thus increasing the average attractiveness of content on the platform. Meanwhile, the most popular writers can adjust their expected compensation upward but still lower the price per reader, thus increasing their readership even more.

On the other hand, if you're paying a flat fee to read anything you want, you'll be subsidizing a whole lot of crap you don't want, without a feedback channel to correct that.
I'd add small stand-alone executables. IIRC it was also quite popular in Europe in general, due to Pascal or Delphi being used at universities etc.

In recent times your average Delphi application has gotten rather bloated, but that's mainly due to RTTI, generics and certain standard library stuff. It's still quite possible to make small executables.
>There is one important difference: Substack has better, more flexible tools for payment than blogging ever had.

There are two more key differences: Substack has serious marketing effort behind it. Big scale, well thought ought, multi-channel and multi-platform. It's the proverbial tide that rises all boats - the ones that docked at the Substack harbor, that is.

The other substantive advantage is uniform and clear user (reader) interface. The value of which cannot be over-stated for ease and please of focusing on the content, for comfortable familiarity, and for fast, smooth performance. It stands in stark contrast with ad-laden, noisy and ad-hoc interface of most online publications, be it newspapers or blogs. Its structure is very clear "flat trees", giving an almost linear navigating experience - as opposed to the multiply linked graphs of typical publications. The constrained options of Substack allow it to be, and remain, great. It even passes the "works just as well without adblock" test.

At the risk of doing it disservice by the way of risky comparison, Substack is everything that Google Amp ever wanted to be - and without the warts.
I disagree. The article author is likely referring to the period when IE version 6 was the major browser on the market (from 2001 to 2009), a time many of us fondly remember as the web development ice age. It absolutely did lack features present in other browsers, such as SVG support, transparent PNG support, the full scope of CSS 2.1, countless standard JavaScript APIs (remember jQuery), etc. Rendering bugs added insult to injury, but the lack of features was real. Microsoft didn't release IE7 until 2006.
I don't know as much about them, sorry.
Quick Google search showed that there has been some claims of selection bias and "not telling the full story". My take is that they're doing a disservice to both sides.
Those required prerequisites in the form of the VB runtime, so AFAIK not so popular. Also more limited or difficult to use in terms of writing malware.

Hi, I'm the creator of <https://sumi.news>.

Why create another reader?

- Sumi.news has a per-feed view, showing only the latest entry, ordered by most recent update. I couldn't find this in other readers.

- Sumi.news is simple. There's a single, clean, chronological feed. Unread counts stress me out, tags and bookmarks are better left to bookmarking services.

- Sumi.news is fast and light. Many other reader webapps are slow, heavy, client-side JS apps.

- Sumi.news is affordable. It's $33 per year. No limits, ads, or business plans.

- Sumi.news lets you follow newsletters and microformats2 blogs (indieweb blogs).

Tech stack: Sumi.news is built with Haskell and PostgreSQL. It uses Warp/WAI, blaze-html, and selda. It's hosted on Linode.

Court orders US Capitol rioter to unlock his laptop ‘with his face’
Here in EU, that is not entirely true. You can buy a VW iD3 or ID4 today. I see a lot of Hyundai Kona EVs on the road. Some Kia ones. Porsche Taycan.
I’m more excited for the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

I personally don’t like the “all touch screen” interface of Tesla. I like tactile buttons at least for climate control. Also not a big fan of being dependent on Tesla’s interface for everything. I happen to like CarPlay.

I also think “Autopilot” is a wilfully deceiving name for a barely functional “copilot” that a driver always need to baby sit.

So, I’d rather buy a Hyundai Ioniq 5 with slightly lower tech specs than Tesla, but with better ownership choices.
So many CVEs are due to their bug bounty program, hackers are incentivized to sell vulnerabilities to Google rather than exploiting them. CVEs are publicly disclosed after they are fixed, of course.
>If Tesla owned the entire auto market globally in five years, it wouldn't be worth half that $4.3t forecast. That's every car, truck and big rig sold everywhere on earth. Add up the value of all other automakers, now or five years ago, or ten years ago. The fantasy projection dissolves instantly when you shine light on it. It'll be a small miracle if Tesla is able to maintain their present valuation while pushing earnings up to $20b in five years, that will require extraordinary market-conquering continued growth across all product lines. They have to become akin to another Toyota in five years just to do that.

Do you realize that Tesla might not sell cars but rides in the medium term? And if their fleet drives more than 2% of the time (current usage of privately owned cars), they'll generate many, many time the profit the industry have been getting from car sales? And I'm not talking about energy generation, grid services and charging (the oil and gas of the auto industry)...
> Progressive web apps are really cool, because they can give you the following capabilities that you would normally expect with a native app:

> - Run full-screen (no visible browser UI)

> - Ability to use the app when the device is offline

> - Local data storage and retrieval

> - Install an app icon on your smartphone’s home screen

> - Access to hardware functions such as the camera, microphone, USB port, etc.

None of this functionality belongs in a web browser.
C++ can be safer but that does not mean it is safe. The fact you have out of bounds accesses, even if it is rare, is not really acceptable in a language that would like to be considered “safe”.
It's not even that, he has a nice office (with a door, and a big desk, and an Aeron, of course) and can't physically watch us work anyway. He just has this idea in his head about how an office should look, and U-shapes are not it. I guess it's the management equivalent of bikeshedding.
Mainly messages getting delayed or undelivered (often on the IRC bridge), everything getting randomly very slow, encryption randomly breaking... sadly what I consider the usual for Matrix.

I recently had a particularly vexing issue in a small encrypted room of 3 people, new messages were shown as undecrytable and then only readable a few hours later, we never figured out why.

I re test it every few months/years because I hear it's getting better, the server is properly configured now, encryption system was remade, there is a new client, etc...

Losing my whole chat history each time made the endeavor even more frustrating. I know not everyone keep logs but I can search my Mails and Irc logs from 20 years ago and I find it really useful.

Sorry for the rant but since you asked. Like I said I fully support your work on Matrix, I just find it so ... frustrating and it make me sad because I really like the idea.

Nick Foster's matrix might be revealed in a mix of principles:

Technology is the study of means, as John Stuart Mill put it. (Mill contrasts this with science, the study of causes.) A technology is a verb, a process to obtain a result. We often see the manifestations (tools, mechanisms, products), but those merely support and guide the process.

- Any intervention has both intended and unintended effects.

- Effects may be manifest or latent, similar to Robert K. Merton's notion of manifest and latent functions.

- Effects, whether manifest or latent, may be short-term or long-term.

- The overall process may be readily communicated (learned, sold, advocated, adopted), or difficult.

- Implementations and interactions may be simple or complex.

That's five dimensions rather than two, though there's a strong correlation between most of the last five might be collapsed to a simple/complex or easy/difficult axis. And of course, the distributions aren't binary but continuous, though they're probably not strictly normally distributed.

Optimists deal with the intended, manifest, short-term, and readily grasped.

Pessimists deal with the unintended, latent, long-term, and that grasped only with difficulty.

In discussing latent and manifest functions, Merton makes the observation that:

Discovery of latent functions represents significant increments in sociological knowledge .... It is precisely the latent functions of a practice or belief which are not common knowledge, for these are unintended and generally unrecognized social and psychological consequences.

Robert K. Merton, "Manifest and Latent Functions", in Wesley Longhofer, Daniel Winchester (eds) Social Theory Re-Wired, Routledge (2016). https://www.worldcat.org/title/social-theory-re-wired-new-co...

There are other elements to this, including positivity bias and the power of denial over unpleasant truths. These seem fairly evident in the futurist trade.

I read Alvin Toffler's Future Shock for the first time last year, on its 50th anniversary. My overall impression was that the book actually holds up quite well, though its best points are generally those looking at the long-term complications of technology. Individual technology advocates are most likely to be wrong, almost always because they were grossly overoptimistic (again, with a few exceptions). Many of the social predictions seem quaint, but that's almost always because they did in fact come true, and we're living in the world that's resulted from this, such that the view from the other side seems naive. The psychological elements, the ongoing psychological strain of dealing with continuous change, seems highly apropos.
Do people really think any of this is ever going to change? Governments don't give a shit, they time and again say they won't do something only to later do it in secret.

We should at this point accept that this isn't going to change and move ahead with the belief that your data is already hacked and is not private anymore. We should discuss more on the exact consequences of this and take actions accordingly.
A couple other interesting points:

- You get that same coverage level at any income.

- There's no co-pay on anything (with some exceptions for higher-end elective dental work, e.g. if you want an implant instead of a bridge). What something costs is never a factor in treatment. The doctors simply decide what they think is appropriate.

- Prices, again, at the same coverage level, drop down to next to nothing if you have no income. I paid €1,400/year when I was living on savings and starting my company.

> Apple took years to finally add WebRTC support to Safari, far enough behind Chrome and Firefox

"Far behind Chrome" should never be used in a sentence. Ever. Chrome releases up to 40 new "standard" features once every two months, many of them are just internal Chrome APIs with a "standards spec" in the form of a draft.

Specifically for WebRTC. It was shipped in Chrome 23, in May 2012.

Guess what? Here's the timeline:

- In 2010 Google buys a company called Global IP solutions with some proprietary tech

- In May 2011 it opensources this tech

- In October 2011 publishes the draft spec

- Just 7 months later ships it enabled by default in Chrome

Do you know when the final stable spec arrived? In May 2018, full seven years later after Chrome enabled it by default.

That's why Safari had it implemented since September 2017, because the spec was finally in a proper shape.

No idea why Firefox rushed headlong into it though.
Only one way to find out I guess.

Ask HN: Dreading Work
Good morning I've been at the current company for ~12 months. Over the past 3-6 months things have changed (for the worse) - hiring a ton of people, which means more layers MGMT, and more dog and pony shows for them.

I'm not learning as much as I'd like as we now have sprints and ongoing meetings at the end of the day... 5/6pm.

I think the change (for the worse) has kinda got me keeping my eyes and ears open.

Anyone ever gone through this? How did you handle it?
Most exploits used in a jailbreak are developed only after a public patch for the underlying bugs appears.

Once the patch is publicly available, an exploit has much less commercial value. (Attackers don’t like having to call their target and tell them not to apply the patch.)

It therefore makes sense to donate such exploits for a jailbreak.
Here is a better quote[0] from Robine in Le Parisien:

> On a eu accès à des informations qu'elle seule pouvait connaître, comme le nom de ses professeurs de mathématiques ou de bonnes passées par l'immeuble. On lui a posé des questions sur ces sujets. Soit elle ne se souvenait plus, soit elle a répondu juste. Sa fille n'aurait pas pu savoir ça.

"We have had access to information that only she [Jeanne] could have known, such as the name of her math teachers or of nannys who passed through the building. We have asked her questions on such subjects. She either didn't remember them, or she answered correctly. Her daughter [Yvonne] wouldn't have had how to know these things."

Things like math teachers' names and nannys seem much more convincing to me. It's not impossible to know them, but I can tell you for sure I don't know such things about my mother, and I am about the age Yvonne was when she died (or when her mother would have died if we believe this theory).

Above all else, it's because core functionality is frequently broken and issues like this[1] languish for months and years without updates. When things don't work, it's rarely transparent to users whether this is due to a bug on Element's end (or on the server side), user error or misconfiguration, or operator misconfiguration.

Further, there's virtually zero documentation for end users. There are no in-app explainers as to what E2EE is or why anyone should care, leaving the onus on operators to document and explain these things to non-technical users.

I totally get it, but I still disagree. Getting more users on the network should be a #1 priority. You don't want to keep another 10 chat programs, just because matrix is "not" a plain chat app. If the element foundation doesn't do this, who will?

As a tech user, I still don't find the element UI great. It's clunky, quite slow and generally not intuitive, and wastes a lot of screen real-estate.

I'm using slack and discord and I find both to be _significantly_ better for group work.

But actively trying matrix on mobile, I still found the simplified FluffyChat UI much more usable on mobile anyway.
Element is this sort of annoying middle ground which is not great for either.

The third point is also important, because matrix is one of the few systems where you can have a private network for your work. You know, just like slack (again, the "group" they're apparently targeting?). Great feature. But if you, like me, would like to use matrix for both work and other communications, you're stuck.

So in the end you run two clients. Element for work, fluffychat for everything else? And maybe shildychat for your other private group (I wish this was a joke).

The goal was simple and achieved: awareness of how Wall Street gambling led to the global economic crisis of 2007 and 8
It was ahead of it's time, and will later be seen as such.

What is puzzling to me is how easily that anti-elite message was hijacked by Trumpkins and his elitest of silver-spooned back-scratching politics, which certainly goes against the spirit of Occupy.
The takeaway is that there is a public for anti-elite messaging, but that it's now possible to weaponize that in order to innoculate that very same public against targeting you...Trumpkins public is rightfully socialist, just brainwashed by the very elites they think themselves against, lol
