A Chrome extension that sends web content to Telegram Bot
I have developed a Chrome extension that sends web content (text, image, current tab) to phone with Telegram Bot. This service does not need any third party or self-host server, so it is reliable and you do not need to worry about your privacy.
Source code can be found at: https://github.com/phguo/Send-to-Telegram-Chrome-extension
Install the extension at: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/send-to-telegram-for-goog/dgblfklicldlbclahclbkeiacpiiancc
Sending files will be supported in the next release.
It's been so frustrating watching people celebrating UK governments who have repeatedly failed to really tackle the supply side issues while propping up the demand side with tweaks that just increase the prices.

The most amazing example of this was the stamp-duty holiday to help stimulate the market for a few months during covid. The maximum you could save was £15k. The average house price increased during that time by about £16k...
This is brought up all the time. There is frequently huge opposition from locals anywhere regarding increasing housing supply.
We didn't really start calling it "The War on Terror" until after 9/11/2001. That's my guess as to where that comment is coming from.

I don’t understand how software engineers get away with browsing the internet for fun at work when nobody else can
Sure, at the cost of having something that usually has a higher latency for lookups, that only works online, that could have outages due to data center or network problems, that could get hacked and made to return corrupted data, and that may or may not be available forever.

Those seem like pretty high costs to me mainly to avoid processing a local database. Especially if someone could wrap the local database with a library that has the same interface as the network API! (That library could stop being maintained, but the failure modes are much narrower than the failure modes of a network service.)

A lot of the comments in this thread are suggesting that an API to search small public data is not a very productive approach compared to having that data present locally in programs that will use it. I can think of lots of advantages that network APIs could have:

* querying nonpublic data (including nonpublic data that the end user is fully entitled to access all of, but doesn't want to cache on a mobile device because of its sensitivity)

* applying a sophisticated algorithm to the data

* offloading computation or storage to a more powerful device

* dealing with frequent updates or edits to the data

* ...

However, none of those seem to apply readily to the case of searching a specific religious or literary text, because downloading the complete text is usually a very practical option. (I guess the "nonpublic data" part could also apply because some of the translations and transliterations and associated information might be under copyright, and the copyright holder might choose to authorize the API but not authorize bulk downloads of the database. That could also be true for modern commentaries and annotations.)

The only other one that comes to mind for me in terms of people's enthusiasm for this API approach (and indeed in the comment I'm replying to) is

* developers are very used to querying web APIs (and don't like writing their own parsers)

That's fair, but I feel like it's best mitigated by having someone develop a reliable library for parsing a particular database or dataset, with a nice API that the developers will be happy with.
The photos ML search from spotlight or whatever they call it is creepy accurate. Maybe just my brain bias but it seems to find context in images that aren't labeled. Adding OCR adds to that.

But it doesn't have the same search within the photos app itself?

Forfeitures also really help out the DA office. If you take all the persons cash, freeze their assets and kick them out of their home -- good luck getting decent legal counsel. Defense attorneys know if you are covered in forfeitures - it will be difficult to see any of their bills paid.

I doubt it will happen. Apple is not known for that sort of interaction. Whatever will happen it will happen silently without Apple admitting to bend down to any backlash.

Also, the pressure to implement device scanning is coming from governments. So it is naive to think Apple will ever surrender. Most probably in the near future every single electronic device will try to leak your data as much as it physically can do.

A very large chunk of motorcycle accidents are single party (about 25%), the rest involve a car, usually at low speeds such as an unprotected left turn or bad merge.

I did some quick googling and found that motorcycles are less likely to be involved in pedestrian accidents than cars, but I think the the onus is on you to support your claim.

What competitor btw? I tried to open a link from your profile but it does not work.
There's that old (apocryphal, I think) chestnut about someone asking JP Morgan what he thought the market would do in the future, and him answering, "It will fluctuate." Back when I was working at a trading firm, it became particularly apparent to me that both bad days and good days were a dime a dozen.

Whether or not that's newsworthy depends, I suppose. In the USA, mass murders seem to be more common than major market corrections, but I wouldn't want to say that they're not newsworthy simply because they happen a lot.
Cops ask people they pull over if they have any weapons or cash in the vehicle, and people are either intimidated or naive enough to answer truthfully. The last time I was pulled over, years ago, I had about $50 in my wallet and the cop asked me if I had any cash. He was visibly annoyed when I responded with "uh, your asking me if I have a wallet?" and gesticulated with the wallet I already had in my hands to show him my ID. He could already see that I had cash in my wallet, but that's not what he was asking about.
Me too! I think the average American thinks "increase supply" means skyscrapers with apartments, rather than lower impact multiunit, mixed-use apartments/street shops that are more common in Europe.

Another issue with increasing supply/density: where is every household going to park its 2-3 cars?!

Side notes: The more I thought about it. In case anyone is interested:

- The setup is stupid easy. Place dish outside, plug in. That's about all.

- It's weird having a dish that points straight up, used to them all pointing south (hemisphere dependent of course)

- The router box (thing?) is a bad design. Stupid little triangle that tips over all the time. Seems cheap.

- Shipped with no wifi encryption. I thought that was weird. I bet this changes to for real release.

- Got a few "outside your home area" messages without moving. Errors.

- It is good for streaming or websites, but currently I have it on the ground and it seems like it loses connection fairly often. I'll put in up on a poll now that I know...

- The dish is heated. GOOD. I was worried about this with the amount of snow it's going to get.

I don't really geek out over these things. It's good. It's exactly what it should be I think. We'll see how it lasts the winter. I expect the reception to get better when it's mounted, but it'll be interesting to see how white-out snow effects the performance.

Is there a plan to ever include them? I check in on GIMP every other year or so to see if it's there.
Can't you just implement a turing machine in Excel by using the cells in a row as your tape?

* Store the initial internal state in A1.

* Store the initial head position B1.

* Store the initial state as boolean values in the rest of row 1.

* Write simple lookup formulas in row 2 to compute the next state from the previous row.

* Fill down. Look for the halting state in column A and your output will be written in that row.

What am I missing?
They get lucky when it’s there. There is no reporting of cash that’s grabbed when none is found. So I think sampling bias is part of it.
My 2nd attempt at android was a Samsung Note 5? Or 4? I forget. Anyway when it arrived it was crazy fast!!! Loved it. After 2 months it was annoyingly slow. Reset it. Fast. Downloaded no apps. Got slower and slower. After 1 year I switched to iPhone for the first time (6) never had an issue ever since. (I did have an iPhone 4 at one stage which made me go MS Phone cos the crashing was so bad)

> that whole search engine scandal

Tell me more!
Not directly relevant to the article, but it's probably a public service to have this here:
If you're in the U.S., do not consent to a search! Ever!

If the police ask permission to search you, your car, or your house, say "I do not consent to a search". Followed by, "Am I being detained?" If the answer is "No, you are not being detained." then leave immediately (unless at your house, in which case go inside and lock the door).

Police are good at making you feel as if you have to consent. They might say, "We're going to search your car now." Makes it seem like you don't have a choice and it's happening one way or another, yeah? Well it's not the case. That was your cue to say, "I do not consent to a search". Saying "I do not consent to a search" might prevent a search or make evidence obtained during that [illegal] search inadmissible. Or it might be found that the police had probable cause or other reason to make the search legal, in which case you lost nothing.

Record + immediately upload such an interaction if you can.

As an aside, I appreciate like 90% of the work the police do.

I understand the noise in the video is fairly unpleasant; however, others within the thread with more experience with the technology have testified that they are not, typically, perceived as this disruptive. (Whether due to the rotors straining less when not countering a raven/crow, or simply due to the frequency band of the phone microphone exacerbating the worst qualities of the sound.) Many express rancor about the very concept of delivered coffee--not merely the practicalities of it, and this is intriguing to me.

I know this is a common belief in the hilarious world of crypto enthusiasts. But, y'know, we measure inflation, and what you're suggesting is just flat out not true. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-cpi
> On the housing side, I suspect consumers purchase the house that their cashflow can comfortably support, not necessarily the one where they believe it is correctly valued, because the assumption that house values only increase means purchasing a well constructed house is almost never a "bad deal."

I'd agree with this. I think housing in my area is wildly overpriced, but I still bought a 100 year old condo for a solid million. Compared to renting, I got double the space, plus parking, plus a private garden, plus an outdoor patio, and my monthly costs went up about 25%.
>There's a particular problem with that hypothesis:
>> Over the past 5 years, single-family home prices are up 150% in London-St. Thomas [Ontario], but down in Regina. They've barely budged in Edmonton. Monetary policy provides no explanation for that phenomenon.

In the short term effects other than those caused by monetary policy can be overwhelming (e.g., London-St.Thomas, has had a huge influx of people from Toronto over the last 5 years that would have driven up prices regardless of whatever the monetary policy may be). But this doesn't change the fact that the dollar has lost 95% of its purchasing power and that the average house price in the 1930s used to be 1X the average yearly salary, whereas now it's 12x.

Thanks for taking the time to explain the rationale. I guess there are always subjective motives when moderating.
As described by Freakonomics and general economic education, this is more or less right.

However keep in mind there's two kinds of rent. You can rent a house, or you can rent money and buy a house.

Historically and across countries there's been some willingness to restrict mortgage LTVs and interest-to-income ratios. At least in some European countries the interest ratio depends on a fixed interest rate (eg 5%) rather than the current interest rate.

We can create and destroy money more easily than we can create and destroy homes, maybe that's a worthwhile lever to try.
I consider 2020 to be an outlier of volatility. You might consider otherwise. But if I must make qualifications to my answer to "doesn't it happen all the time?", then it would be "if you consider only 2020, then yes. Otherwise, no, it is not common".
You keep arguing from the perspective that the school/company necessarily has the "right" to spy on anyone using its loaned equipment.

I thoroughly reject that right as being valid. It should never have been invented as a concept, and you should not be defending that supposed "right".

If I loan a friend something I don't have the right to spy on them, I trust them, and I expect the article to be returned to me in good condition.

And you keep arguing that "surely you understand that they must have right" which is exactly what I'm rejecting, and its very frustrating that you can't even seem to comprehend that someone would strenuously object to your premise to begin with. You just keep on restating that I MUST agree with you that they have that right as a premise to the argument. I reject the premise. If we can't get past that there's no point to this any more, we can't even have an argument about the beneficial effects of rejecting that premise and the horrible effects that keep getting worse and worse of being brainwashed into accepting those "rights" like they're physical laws and not something that we can choose to change.

And if you get pissed off at some point in the future about our surveillance state, take a good look in the mirror and figure out if you're part of the problem or not and if you might have been flat out brainwashed to accept things that never should have been accepted.

Linguistic curiosity: why would these expressions not be translated into English?
Well, you'd have to show that murder rates correlate with rates for other crime. But more important is digging into the thorny issue of what — and who — defines "crime". Because there are a ton of aspects to it: what laws are on the books, what laws are actually enforced, what various special interest groups want to legislate, what people analyzing data choose to include.

For example, as of 2017 feeding pigeons was a misdemeanor in Las Vegas [1]. That will show up in crime data, but you'd be hard-pressed to convince me that it correlates with the murder rate. And if you wanted me to compile a report on crime data, I'd probably ignore it altogether (which is essentially what people are doing when they refer to "violent crime" states).

For a slightly more charged example, let's say property owners push a law against sleeping in public. If they succeed and police don't enforce it, are they "gaming" the metrics? What if most other locals actually oppose the law?

I benchmarked ClickHouse vs. Timescale, Citus, Greenplum and Elasticsearch for a real-time analytics application. With a couple hours learning for each (although I’ve used Postgres extensively and so Postgres-backed databases had a bit of an advantage), ClickHouse’s performance was easily an order of magnitude or two better than anything except ES. ES had its own downsides with respect to the queries we could run (which is why we were leaving ES in the first place).
Above I suggested that reducing space could sometimes be relevant -- I think interactive maps are a very familiar example, although offline maps are great for privacy and for being able to use them in the wilderness.

Even though I don't think that the Quran API will benefit many applications, you could probably envision some, like very tiny embedded systems that don't have even megabytes of spare local storage (but do have some kind of user interface).
I submitted that one too :)
By that definition, there are close to zero native applications out there. Just about the only code that truly targets a specific CPU architecture, is assembly code. Even C++ programs don't target a CPU architecture, they essentially target a C++ virtual machine. Much like the JVM, recent versions of the C++ language define their own concurrent memory model. It's the C++ memory model that the programmer much reason about, not that of the target CPU. (Again, the same thing goes with Java, and with C#/.Net.)

The build model isn't the whole story as to whether a GUI counts as native. We don't much care whether Electron uses a caching JavaScript JIT, when discussing whether Electron UIs should be called 'native'.

'Native GUI' is one of those imprecise/overloaded terms that can't really be given a single definition. It could be understood to mean written using the language and toolkit preferred by the target OS, or it could just mean uses the GUI toolkit preferred by the OS, or these days it might be understood to mean doesn't use web technologies. Using the latter definition, even a JavaFX program might count as 'native'.

Live in America, _cannot confirm_ your little anecdote about all Americans assuming the worst.

It's funny how Quail's front page seems to be filled with glowing reviews from cynical aggressive Americans but none from the cheery French. Weird.
I have a similar story; I finished about 1.5 years at FSU, and due to a lack of motivation and depression (and the two feeding into each other), I decided to drop out when I was 21. I was extremely lucky to find work as a software engineer really quickly, and I managed to piece together a pretty awesome career making a pretty reasonable salary, but there's been several occasions where not having a degree made my life measurably worse.

Since then, nine years after dropping out, I managed to complete my degree at WGU (which has its own share of valid criticisms). I don't know if the degree will "help" me more than my experience has, but at elast it's one less inferiority complex I have to deal with.
Increasing supply can help some. But when you do that, you increase demand for material and labor, which can negate some of the benefit depending on what markets we're looking at.

The real problem isn't supply at all, it's the distribution of supply and the choices of people to live there.

It would be crazy to give the bonds vs equities question much later than October-November this year. We've had more than enough sitting around in equities and other assets and way too many technicals are all showing uplift incoming, even if it's temporary. If your trading scope is less than 1Y you are smart to look at equities IMO.
How much of this is a result of our "don't tax the rich" policies that created a staggering amount of wealth at the top that has nowhere else to go? So many ultra rich investors are looking for something, anything, to invest in. Plus there is the feedback loop of massive growth you get as the bubble inflates.

Is this a direct result of our fiscal policy? Have we destabilize the economy in order to create the richest muilti-billionaires?
Thanks for the feedback :)

I share the same view that I don't really want/like to get burdened with management responsibilities and try to get as far as possible in the technical career path while I still can.

I understand that (maybe) sooner or later I may reach a bottleneck and will have no choice but to switch to a more management role If I want to keep advancing in my career, and that's the source of my hesitation. But lets keep that a problem for the future
> Is there anything in this pile of complexity that might turn around my impression that civil forfeiture exists in flagrant disregard for the American values expressed in the 4th and 5th Amendments?

I mean, there's clearly a need for something akin to "civil forfeiture" -- what if Bob steals your car and sells it to Alice? The cops have to literally take it back; that's civil forfeiture, as Alice might not be criminally liable, but the car was still stolen and belongs to you.

Law enforcement, of course, might abuse it (as it often abuses just about every other power it gets). So there's need for oversight, but civil forfeiture is very obviously needed for remedying some harms.
>Civil forfeiture is an outgrowth of the war on drugs (which was itself an outgrowth of anti-black racism)

Where did you get this ridiculous counter-factual? As a group, Black people,by fact of being concentrated in poor and urban areas, where drug violence did its greatest destruction to the public realm, were some of the biggest proponents for the war on drugs.[0] This spanned all levels of government, from community organizers in New York City to the Congressional Black Caucus.

In a surprising turn of events, sometimes mistakes are just mistakes.
