Nice analysis. I'm certainly not suggesting that this is a coordinated campaign by FB without evidence to suggest it, but the net result of these viral news events could be FB getting the regulation that they want.

If one did want to coordinate such a campaign, there's a certain society-wide informational/narrative vulnerability that makes such a campaign potentially attractive:

-You have a public who loves latching onto 'good vs evil', 'david vs goliath' stories, and in this meta-narrative, we the public shall vanquish the evil goliath by any means necessary!

-We also have a public who at large isn't terribly interested in questioning their own biases, thinking through the higher abstract principles at play, thinking through externalities from vanquishing said evil, and in general going against the grain in these 'good vs evil' battles

-You have a news media environment who profits off such engaging meta-narratives and stories, and is more than willing to push these stories out into the public

-The companies and their employees in the news media environment also have their own in-house biases against certain 'villians' such as FB, which further incentives the spread of such stories and meta-narratives. FB has been a competitive threat to media companies. FB has also done or been accused of things which have frustrated media employees of all political persuasions.

FB is a perfect villian in this meta-narrative, regardless of any of the facts at play. They know it too.

> I believe this to be correct.

That's the thing about of posting bare conclusions without support. It appeals to those who already agree with you, while doing nothing to convince those who don't.

One targets a group and excludes them from the institution in question, the other a

No, DEI isn't about sticking it to people that the advocates don't like.

> They justify it with oppression.

No, German racial exclusion want justified by past oppression it was justified by racial supremacist ideology (in no small part inspired by American White supremacy.)
No, they just wanted to cover both "what caused it?" and "why did it take too long to fix it?" since both are topics people were obviously extremely interested in.

It would have been surprising and disappointing if they didn't cover both of them.

I too am against hate speech (who isn't?), yet that doesn't mean I am for taking prohibition of hate speech to absurd extremes.

Bitcoin is just the gold standard but worse. With gold you can at least dig up more of it as your economy grows. Bitcoin doesn't care about the real economy.

I think the take-away from the article makes sense - if one is running a critical mission, he or she must be trained to do the job (though I doubt self-learning should be the way).

The reason to hate it is clear: Not having any. The excuse to hate it will have to change though.

What will it be? There's always "inequality", I guess, but that is a bit too transparent and lets us see through to the actual reason.

Thanks for the even-handed reply, which I imagine is much easier to have after diving into all this stuff first-hand (I assume you're the same 'marcan' who wrote the progress report).

As much as many of us want to attribute positive or negative reasons or motivations to things companies do -- especially secretive companies like Apple -- it's a nice reminder that most decisions are made without malice, because they make the most sense based on the requirements at hand.

Having control over the entire hardware and software ecosystem means that there's no reason to follow standards to the letter when those standards get in your way and make things harder, more expensive, or even just not possible.

Anyhow, just wanted to finish by saying all of this work is truly impressive. Obviously there's still a lot to be done to support everything to the same level as, say, a Dell XPS machine, but the progress made so far is pretty amazing, and even though I have no plans to buy an M1 Mac any time soon, I'm always excited to read these updates.

Makes me wonder if people even remember that SMS is a thing. Seems to me like the most obvious solution when your communication app is temporarily unavailable. Instead of the annoying process to look for an alternative app, download it, sign in, add contacts… just for a few hours. Or people thought Whatsapp & Messenger were gone forever and they were looking for a long term replacement?

I disagree that the middle class is hurt the most.

Whoever can leverage the most debt for assets benefits the most under an inflationary scheme. This tends to be banks and generally wealthy people.

Stated inversly the poorest are hurt the most as they are least a part of this wealth generating scheme.

Cash savings is largely irrelevant. Most Americans are net negative cash wise via credit cards. So stating the middle class is most hurt doesn't follow logically.

I'm basically middle class, but to keep a substantial cash savings would be financial idiocy in this inflationary system.

Ok, so then I think your question is, if my DNS request for whatsapp.net makes it to the seattle1 PoP, will it only respond with a seattle-1 IP? That's one way to do it, but it's not necessarily the best way. Since my DNS requests could make it to any PoP, sending back an answer that points at that PoP may not be the best place to send me.

Ideally, you want to send back an answer that is network local to the requester and also not a PoP that is overloaded. Every fancy DNS server does it a little different, but more or less you're integrating a bunch of information that links resolver IP to network location as well as capacity information and doing the best you can. Sometimes that would be sending users to anycast which should end up network local (but doesn't always), sometimes it's sending them to a specific pop you think is local, sometimes it's sending them to another pop because the usual best pop has some issue (overloaded on CPU, network congestion to the datacenters, network congestion on peering/transit, utility power issue, incoming weather event, fiber cut or upcoming fiber maintenance, etc).

Right I was hoping the DNSs of FB ought to be smarter than usual and let's say when DNS at Seattle-1 cannot reach backbone it'd respond with IP of perhaps NYC/SF before it starts the BGP withdrawal.

Thanks for the write up and I enjoy it.
This, plus any sort of live data (think stock market, tweet feed, etc.), plus any sort of form input (input fields should survive since like Firefox 3.5, but then people discovered you could also dynamically build forms with Javascript and the rest is history).
Public blockchains have way more transparency than existing systems. Please provide an example of an existing democracy you consider to be more transparent, i.e. every single action that is made is public.
Well, let's not fall prey to thinking that we, in doing what we are doing right now (talking on the internet), are too much smarter or less corruptible than most of our fellow man, including those of our fellows who spend too much time doom scrolling.
"Except what you are saying is not really true. Most conservatives want to reduce government power, not extend it. The left, on the other hand, universally wants to extend government reach."

Well, except for abortion. And official support for Christianity, in various kinds. And, of course, the military, the biggest part of big government and big government power. And keeping the poors and minorities in their places. And conversely, the rich in their place.

But yeah, they'd want to get rid of Social Security, Medicare, the Postal Service, the EPA, OSHA, and all that froo-fraw that gets in the way of true Americans.

("But, but, but, no true conservative..." Don't go there. Trust me.)

"A small number of leftists—college-educated, coastal, and uncompromising—have not just taken over the Democratic Party but our corporations, our universities, our scientific establishment, our cultural institutions. And they have used their newfound power to silence their opposition."

I'm just going to leave that one lay there.

No, I'm not.

Darn those leftists with their college education and science and their book learnin' and their economic productivity! They've squashed anyone who disagrees with them, oppressing us right-thinking, red-blooded Americans past the point of tolerance! Why, we've had to gerrymander the hell out of the place to keep them from crawling in and hiding in the pantries!

This is bubble sort

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort

This should be in the standard college level CS classes.

Edit:

As mentioned elsewhere, this is not exactly same as the textbook bubble sort

When I wrote this, I am saying in the sense that each outer iteration "bubbles" up to its correct place, by swapping.

Thinking twice this also appears to just be a selection sort, as it indeed swaps in each iteration the smallest element

But overall, the algorithm is not surprising at all to me. It seems unusual indeed though.
The difference is that Telegram has better UX than Signal. Actually Telegram has even better UX than WhatsApp.
> You might as well advocate for the abolition of taxation to "even the playing field." The resulting societal disaster be darned.

No, not at all. Taxation is another broken system that needs to be fixed, not abolished. Voting has proven to do nothing. The act of protesting has done little, and continues to be attacked with nonsense bills.

All that's left is what everyone has been repeating for the past five decades: To vote with our money.

Now people are creating ways to remove their money from systems that are controlled by regulators that continue to disappoint. It's a consequence more than it is anything else. Obviously this, too, has its own set of drawbacks, but "societal disaster" really is not the one I'm worried about, because we're already headed that way with what he have right now.
Apparently not, what should I have learned that you think I didn't? Because I'm not understanding what you're referring to (of course I know of the CA thing and that it used Facebook data, but that would mean we agree I think?).
Messaging systems "working well" primarily means "the people I want to talk to are using it". Operational failures are a level-zero hurdle to pass, and after that it's all network effect.
>For example, Keynsian economics requires everyone to be forced to save through a central banking system.

Where did you get this strange idea from? You can literally buy anything with your money to save in real assets or at least non monetary savings like bonds. If anything, low interest rates tell you you should stop saving in money but they don't force you to save or stop saving in money. Nobody is here to tell you what you should do as an individual actor.
I've returned to the office for the two days per week that have the fewest meetings, and it feels like the right balance. There's still an opportunity for whiteboard time, getting up early 2 days in a week feels more like adventure and less like a slog. I'm actually surprised, since I thought I'd be one of those that needed to be in the office every day.
I think I got that part. I was referring to the book the tragedy of the commons (very interesting small book that I recommend) which basically says that when you have N users of some common, even if game theory says that it's in their best individual best interest to protect the common as it is the strategy that maximise satisfaction, if N becomes large enough, someone will start damageing it and soon everyone will do the same. So the tragedy is that you actually have to enforce the behaviour that's in everyone's best interest as a law.
I'm not outraged or surprised by the revelations. Everyone knows there is toxicity on Facebook and other social media products.

Social media is sometimes toxic because people are sometimes toxic. Moreover, people are drawn to toxicity because it is grotesquely fascinating. This is also the case for movies, video games, and other media; much of it is anti-social and misleading.

Condemning Facebook for the toxicity of some of its users is like condemning the manufacturers of mirrors because you don't like what you see in them. If you are appalled by society's propensity for producing and consuming toxicity, then consider directing your attention to shortcomings of our education and healthcare systems rather than a company that is simply providing a useful service to its users and value to its stockholders.
> because it hurts smaller competitors more than it hurts them

Is this always true? I always thought that these companies do want to fix themselves but fixing yourself when your competition won't means that you lose. Regulation helps force everyone to fix themselves.
Mark Kettenis has been working on the OpenBSD and U-Boot ports with us, and we'll be relying on U-Boot for our end user installs :)

We're also dual licensing all our bespoke drivers, so the BSDs can take code from there (particularly important for the GPU driver, as there is already a lot of shared code in that subsystem).

I'm actually thinking I'm going to rewrite the WiFi support patch for Linux from scratch, based on the OpenBSD version, just because they did a great job distilling what matters out of the original messy PoC patch that Corellium dumped earlier this year.
It’s laughable for Facebook to point at Congress now and say it’s their fault for not acting, when they know darn well that if there’s one thing Congress is incapable of doing, it’s “acting.”

Telegram offers the absolute best user experience IMHO.

I would love to use Signal, but I can't really stand it.
On top of that I would say he's also looking at it from a grey tribe[1] bubble. People in the red tribe and the blue tribe have analyzed the current situation from an ideological perspective and have missed the larger picture -- the analysis in this book is step 1 in disabusing people of the notion that this problem breaks down along purely political lines.

You're misusing the term proprietary here.

Telegram's protocol might be custom, but it's well described and there are open source client implementations.

Whatsapp is totally closed and non-interoperable.

And whatsapp is made by an US company, that's an assurance for data collection and massive surveillance.
