Why would you want to introduce complex, hard to move storage technology that produces and consumes enormous amounts of explosive gas, and has much, much higher energy loss than both thermal and electrical storage?

Whenever hydrogen turns up in discussions about energy storage people tend to forget physics and the infrastructure reality of dealing with electrolysis, compression and liquefaction and powercells ... which ultimately charge batteries so you can buffer energy to deal with varying consumption.
Oh please. You're complaining about technical person evaluating technical product on technical level, on a technical forum.

E2EE is the bare minimum for security these days, as so carefully explained by the message you're replying to.

"If someone were to come to me and offer me E2EE by default without those features I would say no thank you."

This is such a loaded and unthoughtful comment. It assumes you have to make a choice. You don't, at least per technical reasoning. The only situation where you can't have E2EE is massive groups, and it's obvious those have no expectation of privacy. Anything else, I can explain to you on a technical level why it can be done in a privacy preserving way, and the only reason its not, is because Telegram's team lacks the know-how. Signal has already shown they can pull off pretty much any feature in a privacy preserving way.

So the question is not "what features do I need", but "should all my features be actual features". A feature that doesn't protect your privacy by definition can be used to spy on you, and I'm sure we both agree that is not a feature.

So ask yourself

Group chat with end-to-end encryption (Signal) or
Group chat without end-to-end encryption (Telegram).

Which one do you choose? The answer is obvious.

>What I don't want is a corporation behind my chat app

Also, you should know Telegram is not a non-profit like Signal. Telegram is a limited liability _company_. It's a for-profit entity, and the LLC only means, the owners are "legally responsible for its debts only to the extent of the amount of capital they invested".
It is not just about solving bugs, it is also about gaining mindshare. If a user comes to me and (politely) says "I want to use your product, but while issue X is not solved I will have to stay with your competitor", guess what will get prioritized in the backlog?
Brilliant!

The hackerweb.app site seems very good for accessibility. It uses nested lists as others here have suggested.

hn.premii.com is a little more difficult to use (in terms of getting from the list of posts to the comments), but still quite usable. It uses a slightly more complicated layout of divs and lists.

The military generally doesn't hand off this kind of gear to contractors or to any but the most reliable allies. If they can get all of their own troops out - which the US did in Afghanistan - they can get out a high-value piece of equipment like this.

(Militaries also have a long history of training troops on how to quickly disable gear in danger of capture.)
I need to second this.

The ubiquitous language alone, is highly valuable.

Even if you dislike the ideas about software architecture that DDD introduces, having a clear, broadly carried, living dictionary, helps a lot! No more EntityTreeSectionBatchBuilder, but CompanyDivisionBuilder. No more 'yea, the ActorModel is really what should have been the User, but since User has legacy in the Authentication part (which also does some authorization, it's on the backlog), we needed another model name.

But also, learning about your domain, writing that down, outside (or before) patterns, frameworks, libraries start enforcing their domain, is very liberating and valuable in the long run.
Indeed. And you find yourself so often just talking about the wrong things instead of really looking at the problem.

I know this is going to sound controversial, but I think some of the most successful people in the world are the ones with the most stable emotions. Some people are able to harness what emotions they have, and damp the rest (or damp them most of the time). The most successful and "happy" people I know are the people that remain the most neutral (with slight positive affect).

Also I think this is why sociopaths are so successful. I believe they are not subject to the strong ebb and flow of emotions like myself and the person I am responding to.

Also I'd like to state that some exceptions are entertainers/sportspeople as many of them are notoriously mercurial but overall they are still largely successful enough at "harnessing" their emotions to profit from it.
That's the "No True Yorkshireman" fallacy.

In my experience it's extremely safe to assume that, even with the best intentions, DDD code can become stupid big balls of mud.

This principle is a key flaw in the idea: "A complex domain can not be efficiently expressed as a single universal model and language, and must therefore be separated into Bounded Contexts (ie. an internally consistent language and model) by the system designers". We humans understand how everything we experience is part of a wider world. So if you are unable to know how things relate, as all things do, you do not yet understand the domain.

Corium is absolutely dangerous - it take heavy equipment and time to break it apart and use it, and the stuff tends to be so massively radioactive it'll kill most gear and people who try to do the job.

The shielding, in this case, serves to protect innocent bystanders who aren't trying to pull the thing apart. Though I would still not want to live close by - intentional "safe" meltdowns are not a well-explored technology.

There can also be a huge genetic component. I believe that family history should play a bigger role in determining one's risk. Some population live a long and healthy life even with high cholesterol (I believe Iceland is one area). But I'm not a pharma salesman (nor doctor), so what do I know.

It's not practical to build insulated buildings at forward operating bases. They don't have the time, materials, or equipment. Everything has to be flown in by helicopter, or transported in truck convoys over terrible roads under constant threat of roadside bombs. Tents are light and can be erected in minutes.
Tom DeMarco talks about modelling-based estimates in Waltzing With Bears, mainly to break people out of the error they fall into of treating the soonest possible time something could be done as a realistic estimate of when something will actually be finished. There are also approaches like Function Point Analysis which provide an explicit model that you can calibrate your team against.

It's doable, but what people tend to forget is that it's work. If you want an estimate, I need to be able to expend effort providing it. It's an engineering activity that needs organisational support to do it at all well, but often you find an expectation that people will be able to pull an estimate out of a hat just having heard the faintest description of the problem, and there can often be a tacit belief (usually but not entirely from non-technical folks) that not being able to do so makes one incompetent.
Linux has had 64 bit date-time since the beginning of last year even on 32 bit architectures.

Clickbait title. The article defines mindfulness as directing one's attention to an object. The act of directing and redirecting attention is a practice that develops mindfulness, not the mindfulness itself.
Per retired brigadier general Steven Anderson, who did logistics for Petraeus in Iraq:

* https://www.npr.org/2011/06/25/137414737/among-the-costs-of-...

The DoD position:

> Defense Department spokesman Dave Lapan says that in fiscal year 2010, the Pentagon spent approximately $15 billion on energy for all military operations around the world. The Pentagon says when it comes to Afghanistan, it spent $1.5 billion from October 2010 to May 2011 on fuel. That fuel was used for heating and air conditioning systems, but also for aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, combat vehicles, computers and electricity inside military structures.

On Anderson (at the time):

> Anderson advocates for increased energy efficiency for military structures in order to cut down on the need for long, dangerous fuel-transport missions. […] Anderson says experiments with polyurethane foam insulation for tents in Iraq cut energy use by 92 percent and took 11,000 fuel trucks off the road. […]

> In February 2011 Gen. Anderson has joined the Relyant corporation as Senior Vice President, in charge for the company’s presence in Washington, D.C., managing the organization’s strategic planning and military business development. Relyant is a global provider of construction and insulation projects, life support, demining, logistics/procurement, security, and IT communications. It should be noted though that these additional costs are spent regardless of the volume of supplies sent over supply lines, as the convoys do not carry only fuel, but also food, ammunition, batteries, spare parts, building supplies etc. nevertheless, a green approach could significantly reduce volume, and costs and risk of such operations.

Two separate things: first, you're correct, there are lots of attributes that can be accurately inferred from appearance (for varying accuracies). I don't see a point in pretending otherwise.

Second, unless demonstrated otherwise, most determinations you could make, e.g. wealth, are not causal, they are effectively a computerized stereotype that looks for some common features the majority of each class share. To me this means facial features are not a suitable basis for a decision anywhere you wouldn't feel comfortable stereotyping.

Put another way, you can easily propose rules that are correct on average but horribly unfair to those that don't conform to the rule. This is true for ML as it is for any other rules. The only ML specific thing here is maybe the basis for the predictions gets obscured to some as something deeper than it is.

"But. Under the hood is a centuries-old tradition of self-investigation and awareness. It's often laid at the door of Buddhism,". Could you be more precise? Which Buddhism? And which buddhist (meditation) practice? I am getting more and more the feeling that this is as true as 'ikigai' being something rooted in japanese culture (which it is not). People know little in depth about Japan, and/or Buddhism (but perception is positive), so somebody might just have come up with some amalgation of something and sell it with 'but we know from thousends of year of buddhist practice...' and so on.

So which one is closest to mindfullnes: Theravada, Mahayana, Zen, or some other smaller branch and which meditation practise exactly?

I realize I sound very confrontational, I dont mean to attack you (I think it is important to have this precise question though)

I wonder if this will impact productivity in an unexpected way.

When you disclose the numbers by which you "track" people, people will find ways to maximize those numbers without necessarily maximizing output.

But then, is there a good alternative? Big tech asked for this by being extremely non-transparent and mistreating people.

This is something I think about a lot. Taking what the mathematicians are doing, and putting it in a programmer-friendly type system (which is a fundamentally different paradigm) is the best idea I have so far – but I haven't really used Haskell, so I don't know if that's what they've already done.
Show HN: Tape It – iOS recording app for musicians
Hello HN,

Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2].

We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality).

I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time.

Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young indie company like us can use at this point :). And of course, please go and try the app!

Best,

Thomas

Compromising people through their sexuality is pretty solid lever for influence. Always has been, always will be. I think Epstein was more or less a high society pimp that got caught, which is rare because in such a position there are many that protect you.

Basically I can understand this yearning for a messaging service with the ease of SMS in the good old day - no need for an app and everybody was able to recieve as this is just an infrastructure protocol. Indeed, RCS looks promising to let this principle live further.

RCS has a long lasting history but is driven forward mainly by google during the last years. [1] One mayor flaw is that it comes basically without end-to-end encryption which - again - google announced to add an roll-out slowly. [2] Furthermore its unclear in how far Apple will implement RCS [3]. And last-but-not-least there is lack of some feature we are used to by messenger apps, like avatar picture, status message, live location etc.

With 473 M users worldwide [4] it seems to be everywhere an nowhere. I'm checking from time to time with my contacts, but I've not seen the lock symbol in the Android Messages App on by up-to-date Pixel phone.

The American evacuation was going on for weeks or months; e.g. by the time of the Afghan government's collapse, Bagram (giant Air Force base) had been quite cleanly evacuated.

The logistical problem of exit is something the US has always been very good at. It's the political aspects it has problems with.
Not really.

Despite "domains affiliated with right-wing politics comprise less than 1 percent of [Epik's] users", the focus was emphatically on Epik's "right-wing" and "racist" users. There was zero reporting on the consequences to non-affiliated and left-wing users.

Admittedly, the featured victims of the breech are unsympathetic characters, so it's hard to really be upset. Which is upstream's point: the article invites us as readers to indulge in schadenfreude which, let's be honest, is a kind of cheering.

The downside of such articles for people of all political stripes is that it seems to imply that online anonymity, such as that supplied by Epik, benefits only reprehensible people peddling reprehensible views.

It's easier to call for legislation that limits online anonymity if it is generally perceived to help only those who everyone can agree are awful.

Throughout history, good people have needed anonymity from the government and even from popular consensus. The Underground Railroad, homosexuals, Jews, civil rights activists, anti-war demonstrators, to name just a few prominent examples.
We're talking about two different systems: the criminal justice system and the national security apparatus. The first system rarely gets help from the second, and the second may even be happy to see such litigation misleading adversaries about the government's real capabilities.
Stop following idiots, I don't see any of that.

I have to disagree: OpenSSL shares the blunt of the blame. (Whilst saying that, it doesn’t help that both projects are under resourced.) The Debian maintainer contacted upstream about the underlying issue, but received no response. Nor did the patch break any tests.

We've also seen since then just how broken OpenSSL was generally, with Heartbleed. And why did OpenSSL have its own RNG that invoked undefined behaviour, when it could just read from /dev/random?

Moreover, in hindsight, we have a much better understanding of undefined behaviour than we used to. Undefined behaviour is not “occasionally the optimiser might bite you” but “sometimes you'll get (un)lucky in that it’ll appear to work. Don’t do it”.

Paying lip service is not the same as practicing what you preach. I'm not saying Mark Zuckerberg is on your side. I'm saying WA team managed to implement Signal Protocol before Zuckerberg et. al. realized what was happening wrt. WA's data aggregation capabilities. Also, Durov isn't called the Mark Zuckerberg of Russia for nothing. Also, it's not like VKontakte users Durov made his fortune with, had too much privacy. Why is Telegram suddenly a magical fountain of privacy when on tech level it's worse than WhatsApp?

"the user has no control over the keys"

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

"everything goes via their servers"

Kind of the central point of centralized messengers?

Also, with Telegram there is a guarantee 100% of group chats, and 100% of Win/Linux desktop chats go through the server in the form that allows the server to spy on the content. All Telegram clients also leaks the metadata that you specifically enabled E2EE with some person, i.e. you disclose your desire to hide data from all third parties. That type of metadata is extremely valuable, and something WA -- due to ubiquitous E2EE -- is unable to collect.

"I still think the WA privacy story is more suspect than Telegram’s at this point."

Your opinion doesn't override that of Matthew Green, or Bruce Schneier who have explicitly advised to NOT use Telegram. I have never seen a security expert recommend Telegram, and don't expect you to provide evidence on the contrary, either.
