Yes, agreed when circumstances change. What about when circumstances were never going to work to begin with? That is where my curiosity lies, where people are setting themselves up to fail, never able to cover the costs they’re locking themselves into.

Basing anything on false or inexact beliefs won't leads to lasting desirable outcomes IMO*. Some argues to read religious texts as metaphors but I think it's just a way to circumvent the reality.

I think for open group chats it doesn't really matter. Because anyone can join anyway. Nobody complains that IRC isn't E2E encrypted and still many people use it every day :) That usecase doesn't benefit from it at all.

For closed (invite only) group chats and 1:1 chats I think it should be encrypted by default though. Like WA and Signal. There's the secret chats of course but they only work on one device and not on group chats. Of course key management is hard in those cases but the others have worked around this very well.

I agree that encryption issue doesn't really have any bearing on this bot ban though. This thing wasn't really about surveillance. But the best way to make this appear in the comments is Telegram fixing it :)

Edit: FWIW I really like Telegram because they're open to integration with other networks (eg Matrix) and that they actually allow and embrace bots. But it would be so much better if they did have E2E.

Totally agree. Web apps are actually more efficient in the long run because there are so many apps people use infrequently and yet use storage and receive updates.
Better option would still to get fairly deep into the technical underpinnings of your org’s platform, and be the guy who can bridge both sides — deep understanding of the business, and one of the few understanding of the tech stack that enables it.

That’s probably the best place to aim. Few people in your org will accomplish that successfully, so being the one who can will set you apart, help get things done faster (help developers gain domain context, help the business understand how things work under the hood), and keep yourself relevant and useful.
In US we’ve moved from first to invent to first to file. This makes prior art a lot less relevant.
They do all kinds of other stuff nowadays. First they added desktops than smartphones and now they review even vacuum cleaners.
Disappointed that this is downvoted. You are absolutely right: most people don’t actually investigate the origins of their beliefs and just adopt whatever their social tribe believes. The average urbanite atheist knows as much about evolution as the average rural creationist. It is almost entirely a social phenomenon, not an epistemological one.
Cool roadmap, but a focus on Flatpak basically turns me away from ever having a use for the distro now. Really, sandboxed software is nothing but trouble on the Linux desktop right now, and frankly I think it's a distraction from larger issues that could be solved easier. Nothing is less attractive to a user than opening an app to find the ugly Adwaita interface instead of their distro's choice, and then finding that your WM can't map the resize controls properly because the window forwarding isn't working. Does your app use MPRIS? Good luck getting it working! You want configuration files in sane locations? How about we make it a pain in the ass to access your own files instead. It's death by a thousand papercuts with Flatpak, all in exchange for a modicum of developer convenience.

I always lose karma for espousing this opinion, but it's one I'll happily parrot until the Linux desktop is finally dead again: if your software is exclusively available as a Flatpak, good luck getting me to use it.
Are you claiming there is such code? It would be a bizarre and pointless thing to add.

Edit: To be clear, we are talking about different things. I assumed you meant placing a licensing requirement of only 5 users, which would not be possible for the reasons I explained. You appear to be talking about putting a restriction into the code, which as you say would not be prohibited by the GPL, but which would be entirely pointless for obvious reasons. It's an interpretation of their pricing plan that I hadn't considered, though, and I'm curious if that's what they're doing.

Bandwidth is a major wholesaling VoIP provider. If you're using a VoIP or other non-traditional phone service provider that isn't big enough to directly interconnect with incumbent carriers, they likely work with Bandwidth (and possibly others).
One of the inventions of McCarthy (and team) was that EVAL can be defined in the core language itself (!) and thus serve as a relatively simple model of computation. Thus the particular EVAL is important, not that source code can be executed at runtime by some api call to execute code.

That's part of the core of the language.

Sure: Many other aspects from Lisp can be found also in Lisp-derived languages and other languages. Like all or some of runtime code loading, symbolic expressions, using symbolic expressions to encode source code, saving and starting heap images, garbage collection, managed memory, source level interpreters/debuggers, self-hosted compilers, read-eval-print-loops, macros, fexprs, integrated interactive development environments, ...

Is it unpleasant being shown experiences that differ from yours? Can you elaborate on this with an example from the text and your own experience? I think it would help me understand where you are coming from if I could relate to it.

The way I see this - you are asking the author to write in a 'universal' style, that respects and acknowledges all view points without preferring one over another. I have two problems with that. 1) it defeats the purpose of sharing your experience and the preferences you have learned. 2) it is difficult ranging to impossible.

I'm not trying to put words in your mouth there, merely give you an opportunity to correct me and my impression.

This is something I've thought about a lot, and I say this as a diehard atheist. Historically (and even now), religion has served two useful purposes:

1. As a provider of community. There are of course other ways to socialize with wider groups. Sports clubs, going to the pub, classes, that sort of thing. But it's a lot more interest-driven and haphazard.

2. As a provider of and enforcer for a moral code.

Here are some things I believe to be true:

1. A lot of people like being told what to do. This isn't necessarily unhealthy or bad. I also believe in decision fatigue. We defer decisions to others all the time;

2. Fear is an easier tool for keeping people in line than any alternative. There's a carrot and a stick with religion. The carrot is paradise in the afterlife (depending on your flavour of religion). The stick is partly eternal damnation but much more important than that, it's the fear of losing that community.

3. The majority of people only act in an ethical manner out of fear of the consequences.

Now looking at the political situation in the US, we have the rise of Christian conservatives. Just the name "conservative" is worth examining. It is of course derived from "conserve". The intent is obvious: it is to resist change, to maintain traditions and generally to keep doing things the way we "always" have. It almost seems like to be a conservative requires you to believe things were better in the past and changes are just making everything worse. At least that's how it seems.

It shouldn't really surprise anyone that religion and conservatism tend to be correlated but does one cause the other? I honestly don't know.

But what I find fascinating is that the desire to be told what to do combined with the mistrust in government fomented by religions (as in, the person is to put their faith in [deity] and the church rather than government) means these people are so easily manipulated.

Take the Covid vaccine (and masks). Every current and former president (including Trump), every governor, every Senator and all but a handful of Congressmen are vaccinated. I'm also sure every Fox News host is too. Yet these same vaccinated people are quite happy and willing to pander to whack job conspiracies as a means of control.

I find it ironic that the people who I'm sure genuinely think they're standing up for "freedom" by fighting against mask mandates are in fact least free because they're so easily manipulated.

So I guess my point is, I'm not sure these problems go away if, say, religion goes away.
The article's author isn't saying the book is morally wrong for only taking about white european males, they are only saying that might be a contributing factor to explain why this book is not often read, namely that few people can relate to the characters of the book, which is pretty important for self-help.

>The internets "landlords" didn't decide these comments have no monetary value, we did.

I disagree. The value of my "creative" (I'm using that in a very broad sense) output is real and belongs to me.

While that may not be translatable to a pay day, not everything is a commodity to be bought and sold.

There are a variety of issues which created the current (dysfunctional, IMHO) landscape, none of which have anything to do with monetization.

Firstly, there's the huge barrier to entry that comes with the prevalence of asymmetric internet links. If I have (multi)GB symmetric network links, I can host as well as consume.

Secondly, there's no broad-based mechanism for individual control of creative output. PGP or a similar mechanism would be great for that. But instead, we have centralized platforms (see my first point) that dictate how and to whom data is shared.

With symmetric network links and strong cryptographic access controls, barriers to an individual having control of their creative output are significantly reduced.

Some folks will want to monetize that, others will not, with a mix of both being the norm.

But claiming that there's no "value" in something because you can't assign it a monetary equivalent seems a pretty narrow view of value, especially WRT to social interactions with friends and family.
I could go along with the idea of it, but the idea of the US mandating what I'd have to include in a browser is a bridge too far for me. If the US, EU, and Asia (like, all of Asia, en bloc?) want features, they can develop 'em themselves.
YMMV. My background is in financial applications and there it’s a quite common problem popping up, especially (but not exclusively) in analytics.
I would be curious what deployment would look like here…
Would it be uploading the model back to the cloud to run inference for other users - like a marketplace?
"Preventing abuse" is generally equivalent to surveillance - identifying a session as being associated with some longer lived identities. Their explanation makes me less comfortable for why they're doing it!

Redirecting to the https site is a bit less secure than the hidden service, in that your traffic will only go over 3 hops (TOR client) rather than 6 (TOR client + hidden service circuit). But AFAIK they could also write a modified TOR client that served a hidden service without any additional hops. Those additional hops are best seen as security for the hidden service rather than the user. Also, a hidden service for a well known business is kind of a pointless marketing gimmick.
A very objective article, actually, and goes well to explain how this request to block the "voting app" isn't at all as controversial as portrayed in the Western MSM:

> Second, this particular demand of the Russian authorities wasn't obviously unconstitutional, as they referred to a law that restricts campaigning after people start casting their votes. Laws against political campaigning while voting is underway exist in many countries and the Russian counterpart had been introduced a long time ago. Had we received a similar demand from any European country, we would have complied with it. On the contrary, had Russia or any other country demanded something that is in clear violation of human rights, we would rather face an outright ban of Telegram in that country than compromise our values.

This is why the web is so important: no app stores to pressure.

It looks to be like this particular telegram bot could have been a web site?
What's even the point in making native apps work over the web? Just use native apps, period. You can install native applications on most operating systems already (iOS notably lacking support for persistent "sideloading").

If you want, I'm sure you can cross-compile WASM into some kind of native application or even just leverage a WebView component to make your "app" an HTML page with just a <canvas>.

All of this is already possible today, and yet this problem still persists. Open access to your own hardware is important, but it doesn't solve political problems like these. Web applications can quickly be blocked by censors as China and Russia have shown. The technology arms race doesn't solve the political root cause of the problem.
You're welcome to think that about me, but health sharing is almost entirely scams using "religion" as a cover. See my other link in this thread.

We now have flatpak, appimage, snaps, among other things. It’s yet another layer of confusion.
We don't have a free market for food in the US or Canada. Very few people outright starve here, but that's largely due to food banks, food stamps, other government or charitably funded non-market forces that prevent starvation.

Yes, we have a lot of food here, but in a pure market, without money you don't get any of it.

> that worker will starve

Nobody is starving in America. Jobs are going begging. I needed some work done on the house, and I called the outfit that usually does such things. They are overwhelmed with work, and can't find workers.

Besides there are around 250,000,000 jobs in America. Am I to believe that it is commonplace, or even ever happens, that an individual somehow has managed to find the only job opening in America?
Lower class (financially) people tend to have kids that grow in to more lower class people. The bottom ~50% don’t pay taxes.

I agree with the spirit of your post; however, I don't understand why it needs to be drive-by, browser-delivered-and-run apps. It almost seems like you're proposing a cross-platform sandbox and app store, which I'm all for! but I'd like it to stay as far away from modern web browsers as possible.
So to be clear, if you ignore all the awful stuff that (almost all) religions have promoted for centuries: racism, sexism, genocide, slavery, child abuse, extreme hostility to science and free thought… meditation and some religious swaying may make you a little nicer. Sure. Okay. Moving on.

Edit, to add: and hostility and persecution of any and all non-heterosexual relationships.
> increase my odds of landing a c-suite position over time

If you are in banking and your goal is the C-suite, and that is at all realistic given where you arr now, programming is probably a costly distraction.
I understand their choice, their hands were tied by the distributors; apple and Google. At least for Android phones they make it easy to sideload an apk so I'm little less empathetic on that end but for iOS, you're pretty much at the mercy of apple.
> what is the data that is worth backing up in a really futureproof manner?

A futureproof encoding would have to be something like images at a scale visible to the naked eye engraved in a substance that cannot be corroded or destroyed. Stainless steel is probably fine for the material, but you run into limits on the amount of space (and steel) you're willing to devote to the project. And most information just can't be represented pictorially anyway, so the theoretical possibility of futureproof storage isn't even there.

I’m sure the price is a surprise to plenty of people. I knew childcare was expensive but I didn’t know how much until I actually looked for a provider.
I trust Telegram E2E implementation more, than Whatsapp. I'm sure that there are no cloud backups (for me and for other person), I'm sure that there's no sync happening (any sync is potential threat to security). All data stays on device and that's about it. It's true end-to-end. Whatsapp and Signal implementations are not End to End. They're something like User to User or Account to Account, with some encrypted copies floating around. They have many ends. That blurs responsibilities.

I hope that their implementation will stay as it is. I'm all for implementing better security for ordinary chats, but they should keep secret chats feature as a restricted high-security channel.
RCLEC (RingCentral's CLEC) does not seem to host the majority of RingCentral's numbers despite being fully capable of doing so, RingCentral seem to sprinkle their numbers across Onvoy & Bandwidth.com if memory serves.

Makes for some really fun port out requests, when a client with 6 numbers has those numbers sprinkled across 3 or 4 different underlying telecoms despite RingCentral generating one unified bill for their service.
I’m not familiar with the company ’bandwidth’ but do find it a little funny they’re experiencing an outage.

But then I feel guilty seeing they have a 911 call service which is offline. This is really serious - I wonder what kind of tech they rely on for this, in order to even provide this service for people to rely on shouldn’t it match what major telcos need to use (in terms of resilience)?

There you go. Big statements about hypothetical expectations and pessimistic predictions for the future treated as though they were obvious, but really just re-statements of your own misgivings. Classic 'yelling old man'. You can hear dire predictions of that sort at any time now thanks to the internet. My favorite recent example was a round-a-bout coming to some rural area and the facebook announcement (?!) getting dire predictions of chaos and doom with the same sort of structure as the second example.

An insightful testimony. I'll be spending some time looking for books and talks about this, because it's very possible I'm misjudging this and having too much faith in the average person drawing the line if anything bad happens. Certainly I haven't thought deeply about where I would draw that line, and I'm no longer satisfied in my vague feeling that the line is far from having been crossed. I'll give it some thought.

I would rewrite this as "Short term focus is pretty standard for those not making the product."
