What a stupid article.

>XMPP and many other technologies were already there

This is so obviously far from the truth. XMPP is lacking in so many different features that Matrix has.

>Matrix is not a community-based software, it was born [00] in Amdocs [01], a multinational corporation founded in Israel.

>On the Internet we find many pieces information connecting Amdocs with Israel’s Intelligence]

Ah here comes the "its the jews" argument

One thing I never understood. I can run a chat server hosted on the computer next to me. It is e2e encrypted. I can use any number of clients or servers, some developed by New Vector, some not. I can easily send images, text, voice, etc. I can bridge it to dozens of other services. I can federate if I choose to, with other servers. Or, I can not federate if I decide not to.

What the heck is insecure about that? Other than vague promises that the Jews have my data?

Did I simply miss the crux of this entire article?

Who cares about Matrix.org? Seriously. It's a technology. That's one implementation of the technology. It's not mine, though. That's what makes Matrix special. Did people harp on XMPP for Google collecting data over it?
You assume correctly

"As the employer, you may deduct the entire amount that you pay for the employee's educational costs as a business expense. However, only $5,250 is not considered wages and therefore, not subject to payroll taxes. Amounts over the annual limit are subject to income and payroll taxes."
Another data point:

When Windows 10 just came out, many of apps in start menu had a label next to them, which in Russian version said "Создать" (~Create). It took me some time to figure out that it's a poor translation of "New" (~Recently added). Proper Russian translation would be "Новое".
The platform is essentially getting a cut -- their own ad revenue -- from content producers who are financially supported via sponsorship/paid content. Right now it's just economically not feasible for the platforms to force themselves into that sponsorship relationship without risking an exodus of their most profitable users. And Google doesn't really want to be in the business of individually managing influencers' relationships with brands, anyway.
Not really, or at least the license would be very unappealing.

You'd need a method of determining revenue and then apportioning revenue amongst the many parts of a system. Then there's transfer pricing issues. Not to mention audit requirements. See also Hollywood accounting.

One of the ways open source gets adoption is because using open source with an acceptable license is often much less hassle than paying for commercial software and complying with commercial software license requirements.
This is the comment that points out the issue.

perf is licensed under GPL v2 only and libbfd is a GNU tool that is licensed GPL v3 and higher.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911815

Really wish the Linux kernel would start mandating new patches to be GPL v2 and higher and get buy in from the largest contributors. A decade later new code would like replace the smaller contributors code and we could consider the software GPL v3 compatible.
Different companies being shitty in different ways is not "bias"
I'm always surprised by companies like Apple that have so much money that paying out bounties should be no issue at all. It feels like Apple doesn't like being on the weaker side of a negotiation.

Maybe I'm a little naive, but I would set up a bounty program at Apple that was very lucrative for security researchers to report their bugs. The main goal would be to make the holders of security vulnerabilities concerned that someone might submit a bug report and make their million-dollar bug worth zero.
Given that the whole point is to perform script-like operations as an atomic unit in the kernel, it seems to me you'd be reinventing a lot of script-like stuff by exposing a "bare" API for generating a "program" to be run.

For example, consider what the API must support to make a channel program that lists all the child datasets of a given dataset, and takes a snapshot of each child dataset that has a certain ZFS property.

The looping cannot be done by the user program, as that would introduce edge cases when datasets are created or destroyed between listing and generating the snapshot commands.

As such, picking Lua as the API isn't a bad choice I think.
I think it's an automatic thing if the user is banned or suspended; like a shadow ban. So, there may very well not have been a number of down-voters and was simply dead from the start.
Microsoft warns Azure customers of flaw that permitted hackers access to data
OWASP shakes up web app threat categories with release of draft Top

That just means they're shadowbanned, as I understand it. And that tracks with all their other comments being dead.

You might like to give 10xplannerapp a go. Full disclosure: I'm a co-marker of the app which was created because we're not really fans of you know using paper and carrying a journal with for us a digital version is way better!

Rewatching Silicon Valley and the scene where Erlich hijacks Gavin's discussion with some reporters comes to mind.

"Was I brutally assaulted? Yes. Did Gavin Belson have anything to do with it? Unclear. (...) This and all other Gavin Belson rumors are unsubstantiated: the alcoholism, the sexual impropriety at work, the impending crash of Hooli stock."

Calling it FUD while repeating it doesn't nullify the effect it has on the listener.
Spam is something nobody wants. The influencers videos quite some people want to see despite their sneaky ads. So youtube gets views, too.

Animatrix was a set of ~9 animated shorts adjacent to the original Matrix film.

Most of the shorts were mediocre, but 3 of them were excellent.
The line is not difficult to draw. Again, you’ve never experienced it. There are states of existence where it becomes a simple and plain object in your mind that you must die because of the objective and real factors of your circumstances and not because of a feeling or notion. Until you experience that, it will all be fuzzy, grey, wushu washy fluff in the sky. Because it’s never been real to you.

You know how people will sometimes change their mind when confronted with reality? You know how some men scoff at a dangerous activity until they are pushed out from the crowd to do it themselves? The reality of the situation sets in. All of a sudden your mind is revealing to you things that you had not considered before. Revealing intuitions and details that it had not performed for you because your brain doesn’t consider things in detail until they are perceived as important to you — until they are in front of you. This also happens for death. All of a sudden, details fill in that have never been emphasized in the idiot internet threads. All the details of how a suicide attempt can go wrong, where the line of death really is, all the ways that you might feel pain. It’s completely overwhelming if you are suddenly in desperate need of death. It’s the experience of the most marginalized and abused group of people to ever exist. Forced to die in gruesome and terrible ways and in horrific home made contraptions that very often create a huge amount of pain before fulfilling their purpose.
"Genetically fully human": having 2x23 chromosomes with the full complement of DNA that normal human cells contain; that is, not haploid like spermatozoa or ova.

"Distinct individual": Genetically different from the parent, and not just different with a transcription error.

Why it's relevant: Because "it's her body" and "it affects nobody else" aren't relevant arguments when it's not just her body, when there's another individual there. Now we have to have a real moral/ethical discussion, and we can't short-circuit it with dismissive strawmen.

But I'm fairly sure you knew all of that. I suspect that you just want to keep using the strawmen to avoid having the actual ethical/moral discussion.
Even if you're specifically targeting Germans. I don't see how international influencers could be judged against.
It turns out that it is not enough to pass a law; it must be enforced, and it must be enforced even-handedly.

I totally misread this and rolled my eyes about MasterCard getting into the cryptocurrency business.

It's to the point where we need to start labeling cryptography as such. Crypto now means cryptocurrency because the crypto folks like to shorten it in every conversation.
That's why this was not my first choice... but it was just far too hard to implement it otherwise... and then again, once you really think about it, you must keep ALL tokens/AST nodes in memory to be able to analyse and type-check/lint any decent language... so keeping a big Sring in memory while all nodes just point to slices of it is not nearly as wasteful as it might appear at a first glance.
Because then they would have to pay content creators themselves.
Does this mean, Element, Matrix and Synapse are all compromised?

If so, I want nothing to do with the Matrix ecosystem and would be searching for alternatives, I hope this isn't the case.
If you wanted to submit a change to a page back in the day, you e-mailed someone a patch. That required "signing up" for an E-mail account (unless you were a weirdo who telnetted to an smtp port and hand-crafted a mail delivery) and using someone's e-mail service, after you used a local application to craft the patch.

The big difference today is that we don't use native apps, so we have to have accounts, to use somebody else's apps for free, because they want to track us and make money from us.

On the web today, we don't use apps, we generate revenue for others via their apps.
Right. I don't think conscientious HN readers should have to check this.
I believe people can always redeem themselves, but corporations need to be held to higher standards since they're 90% of what determines the quality of life in this country.

> You assume everything good is done in bad faith by people you've labelled "bad" and then judged them to be bad based on acts you've assumed were done in bad faith.

I assume what Amazon does is bad by default, but I'm perfectly willing to accept that it's good if I'm proven otherwise (maybe someone convinces me, or I do my own research and come to that conclusion). I'm just always going to assume the worst, and that's going to put them at a permanent disadvantage when competing for my patronage. That's like, peak capitalism: penalize bad behavior through the market.

Idk why I need to explain this, since I'm pretty sure everyone understands the concept of a reputation. Is it "intellectually lazy" to not invite a registered sex offender to your child's birthday party? This is basically the same thing, but less dramatic.
"The pandemic has been a major topic of disinformation under Mr. Bolsonaro, with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube all having removed videos from him that pushed unproven drugs as coronavirus cures."

This is interesting. I assume they're talking about Ivermectin, which I believe is part of Brazil's official medical strategy and response to covid[1].

American health authorities issue guidance that conflicts with Brazilian health authorities and so American social media companies censor Brazilians? I wonder if there is a group at Google that reaches a position based on research or if they're just taking guidance from authorities.

Their dominance in the ad space means content creators aren't able to make a living without sponsorships and other sources of revenue (merch, patreon).

Sponsorships on Youtube exploded when ad revenue cratered.

Cut sponsorships away and you're basically killing the ecosystem.
While the post itself comes off as a bit rambling the mentioned research from a third party is mildly interesting:

https://github.com/libremonde-org/paper-research-privacy-mat...
Random comment, but hoping someone may have an answer for me:

Has anyone here managed to deploy multiple workers sites as part of one worker?

Using KV storage, it should technically be possible to have one worker addressing multiple domains, so then, if you wanted to deploy multiple websites using one worker to serve static assets to multiple domains, could that be doable?

I am only mentioning this, as it still doesn't seem possible to just buy additional workers. You are still limited to 30 sites on workers sites. Which seems quite prohibitive, if you wanted to build a bunch of sites for clients for example.
Many people aren't very bright. Does that mean we should let them be abused?
That is, maybe the problem is who we decide are "well qualified capitalists"

I don't think that's a problem, as I don't think the decision is "well-qualified" as in competent, but rather "won't end up on the dole if this investment falls through". Henry Kissinger isn't signing up for food stamps/EBT because his Theranos investment went belly-up. The problem is that many thought, "well, if Henry Kissinger is in...", without asking about Mr. Kissinger's qualifications to evaluate medical claims.
Government actors are not really interested in what you write (probably because it would be too much information to handle), but they are very interested in where you are located and who you interact with, in order to create a ("terrorist") network graph.
And according to the article that is what Matrix collects (the company behind Matrix - allegedly Israel’s Intelligence according to the article)
Obviously, but Open Banking has been pushed instead of pulled.

For a lot of markets, that isn't ever going to fly given regulatory capture.

Consequently, any standard has to also offer a compelling feature over the status quo.
I think in future servers will ask clients to solve a small computation. It can be theoretically incorporated into the handshake and if it takes something like 100ms, human users would not notice but botfarms will feel the pinch. An additional benefit is that servers can monetise the computation offsetting some of their costs.
Denmark used to have a system for reusing glass beer bottles. There was one standardized size that all the breweries used, and they were reused.

At some point in the last decade or so, the system was changed so now the glass gets recycled instead. The bottles are thinner now (lighter to transport, less material used) and allegedly it works out to less impact, based on some model.

(Though I've also heard it was mainly because breweries wanted to be free to decide the look of their bottles, for branding reasons, and something about EU harmonization to make it possible to sell imported beers.)
Can see this being used by non-Facebook users
They died
I noticed a trend of youtube now where the entire video is some sort of setup for a product. It will start off with some emotionally charged story about some personal struggle, and you're like okay this person is being so genuine sharing, the hard time they're going through. And you're feeling empathy. But it ends with some ad for some bullshit online coaching. Its just so off putting. Reminds me off that hot waitress in Mexico that does a shot of Tequila with you because you think she likes you. Later before you leave you find out it was like $40 for that shot. And the bouncer will kick your ass if you don't pay. The betrayal is real.
There's probably some selection bias at play there. The last time I used crypto for anything but hodling was to buy the starting seeds for the cannabis company I co-founded. I felt so much like a cyberpunk character!

Stories about use cases for crypto do sound unusually romantic or risky, but that's probably because sectors underserved by the banking system tend to be viewed as romantic or risky.
I don't believe the author has come anywhere close to providing enough evidence that "(...) Matrix was created by an Israeli intelligence agency."

Heh, interesting. That is news to me as well.
It's completely doable. My mom went back to school at 40 and retired in her 60s with a Masters. Was it hard on her... yes. Most things worth doing take hard work.

A lot of people always find a way to blame their issues on something external. Oh it's too expensive! Oh there's not enough time! Oh someone should do it for me! Oh that person just got lucky!

Maybe some of that's true, but it doesn't really matter. Take the cards you're dealt and do something with them. Or.. you can just fold and keep blaming it on something else.
> No app stores, no install/uninstall process, no access to system internals

the problem with app-stores is lock-in, but there's nothing wrong with repos in general e.g. linux package repositories.

What we really are missing is good sandboxes. We got there in browser/js-land, but it was hard progress; the constant attacks on web architecture and the value in overcoming it for e.g. online banking and purchase incentivised the effort to provide a solution.

If we had properly isolated executions environments, with whatever permissions model that implies, then that could be the basis of proper remote/auth-less execution; but even VMs/containers can't meet that guarantee.

Then we wouldn't need so much review process around app, or locked-down stores; installs could be pre-emptive and automatic, and system calls managed.

I suppose than rather make just a single one-off language, it would make more sense as a abstract/virtual-machine on which bytecode is executed, as the basis for other, proper language (ala the JVM).
Why wouldn't they? It doesn't really hurt them.

When viewers see Youtube ads, they'll be annoyed with Youtube. But when viewers see sponsored content, they'd be annoyed with the content creator. So Youtube won't get the extra flak.
Reminds me of the Snapchat Spectacles, but i guess getting another form factor for glass cameras is hard with the limited space.
An interesting review from Katie Notopoulos at Buzzfeed:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/faceboo...
The camera was the controversial part
Some comments on YouTube have suggested that the brighter look to the Matrix is because at the end of Revolutions, Sati makes a beautiful sunrise for Neo.

Resurrections will apparently occur in the seventh version of the Matrix, the one at the end of Revolutions.
US law already requires influencers to disclose ads. (And the FTC says that US law includes foreigners whose audience is reasonably likely to include Americans)

Facebook wants me to wear a camera. That is a really hard "nope."
His fiction books are great as well.
I was just thinking that if these are going to be used by perverts, its going to be trivia to paint over the light with something like nail polish. At least a proper audio cue like the camera snap noise which has been forced on at least in Japan, would be a bit better.
It wasn't.

It's a spinoff of a company that at the time basically did accounting software for cinemas then went on an acquisition spree because they had more money than they knew how to use.
I'm going to get vaccinated once the monoclonal antibodies wear off. I don't know if it was just bad luck that caused me to get infected a second time or if there's something particular to me, but I want to do what I can to prevent a third time.
So if I understand correctly, the benefits of Web 3 are largely payment related.

It still doesn't sound like something the general public would adopt. You have to learn a whole new way of doing things, in order to get paid in a currency that has no use outside of asset speculation.
They'll just do away with hard quotas and tell them they are "slow" or "could be doing more". This is what happens at my company since they aren't allowed to count story points, but they just do it behind the scenes anyways.
That's not how the real world works though. I was raised by the internet because both my parents had to work nonstop just to keep a roof over our heads. We'd need to make a lot of changes to how society functions to allow for that level of parenting.

But hey I turned out okay! (Not really)
It's not politics its just that there is a dispute between ARM China and its parent, this is well documented. This complicates IP licensing concerning the ARM ISA in the world's largest market. I personally wouldn't want to develop a product with uncertainty around the IP in a major market.

Insecticides are the main vector of attack of course, they're designed for that. The problem is not identifying properly other substantial vectors.

As a hobbyist beekeeper can confirm the impact of EM pollution. EM fields are a big deal for bees. I see trends like 5G-based satellite internet growing which are amazing technologies, opening fantastic use cases. But we should be more cognizant of its impact in the long run over the environment. BTW, high correlation with insect population collapse.
