You are completely right. I actually wanted to write "vaccinates are this safe and effective".
Both found guilty seems to indicate it did.
The thing is, some percentage of your contacts will accidentally or knowingly grant permission for their contacts to go to Google. So by linking to that infrastructure Signal is making this problem worse, whether or not they actually facilitate the spying themselves.
> You are subject to a blackout when you have material nonpublic information.

Kinda legally yes, but some mid-sized companies enforce a trading blackout by contract and with a broker-level feature on everyone just so that they don't have to do the work of telling everyone that has that kind of information that they do. Twitter probably does this because of how the LinkedIn thing is worded.

The former employees could transfer their shares to another broker and sell them with no issue if they think they are on the good side of the law, which they probably will be after severance.
“Without a massive backlash?”

I’d actually be surprised if this was true.

I’m probably addicted to scrolling social media. I’m tired of it. If it was forcibly removed from my life and there was no social pressure for me to use it. I’d be happy.

I’m sure I’m not alone.
>Here's one: cross-platform GUI apps will, without exception, feel subtly wrong on every platform. Each platform has its own "way" of doing things.

You're stating as an objective fact what is you own aesthetic opinion.

Yes, different platforms are different, and the same app behaves differently on different platforms. But most people don't switch platforms or use the same app on different platforms routinely, and it wasn't an issue prior to Electron, when the most likely manifestation of this would be the use of the same browser on different platforms.
Still nuclear is finished everywhere (or on the way out except in China) and won't come back from the grave. It is like asking for cars from the 70ties to return.
Nature did a rundown similar efforts a few months ago.

The US Army/Walter Reed effort was probably the one that got the most widespread media coverage.

Yea so I thibk that's a readonable argument. And I recognize this is a news article, and not like... constitutional law discussion.

But I think the real origin of this article is: the author is upset about FOSTA, a view I happen to share. But it's out of the news cycle. So he draws a tenuous connection to a current event, making it both relevant again, and stirring some telelogical history.

But the recent decisions are not really based on FOSTA, and as far as I can tell there was no legal precedent set by these acts that had anything to do with the recent decisions.
I mean, the better (for users, maybe not for developers) alternative is to buck up and build a native client for each platform. Share as much code as you can portably, but you'll have a small platform-specific shim around the edges to call into the shared business logic and implement the platform-specific window management and bling.
Why are Germans so stubbornly against nuclear power? Is it because of losing WWII? Is it because of the Holocaust? I don't get it.
You think linguistically as most people do. Visual thinkers have the linguistic part of their brain available for processing music while they are thinking during programming. The benefits you experienced compared to us visual thinkers is that generally your type of people had it easier in school with regard to learning things off by rote memorization. The way mathematics is thought through word problems to school children suits your linguistic brain.
Wouldn't it be naive to ignore context and imprudent to dismiss lessons available in this time? You can have compassion for someone AND attempt to help them learn from struggles and correct poor choices.

> One kilowatt-hour of electricity currently emits about 372grams of CO2

Not if it's coal. 1 kWh from a coal power plant generates 820-940 grams of CO2 (down from 1130g [5])

The EV Hummer actually gets ~631g CO2/mile - nearly twice that of the Malibu - if your electricity comes from a coal plant.

60% of the USA's power comes from coal, oil and gas. [6]

In many parts of the country, going to EV does not substantially reduce CO2 emissions nor save money. We have a very long way to go until we can say that EV is always better for the environment than ICE.

CO2 emissions from energy generation are now higher than they've ever been in history. More coal is being burned lately due to higher natural gas prices. And as emerging markets have more need for electricity, they are ramping up more non-renewable power production facilities, because gas, oil and coal are cheaper/easier/more available. [1] [2]

(aside: the EIA considers electricity generation "from biomass [..] to be carbon neutral" [3], which is bonkers. Biomass co-firing generates 740g CO2, non-cofiring 240g [4])

But is subtly feeling wrong a massive barrier? And feeling wrong for who - I would guess that it is mostly people who would have done fine without a GUI that would notice, for the others (or us all?), most GUI apps would feel slightly off anyway
I doubt it will be, considering that it's Electron.
We still don't need nuclear. We have many other solutions, including reduction of power consumption, cap-and-trade carbon credits, and much more.

What's happened is that, bizarrely, people have completely conceded to the reactionaries. People have given in, and now give the reactionaries free reign, making it a fait accompli that none of those solutions will happen. If you quit trying and let the reactionaries off the hook, then nuclear is (arguably) what's left.

The anti-nuclear power position of the 1980s didn't take into account - and shouldn't have taken into account - that the American conservatives and the fossil fuel industry would prevent any action on climate change for decades, even denying climate change was happening, then falling back to 'it's not caused by humans', and now to 'there's nothing we can do'.

> Seems like everybody is jumping on the "environmentalists that don't like nuclear power do it for ideological reasons and are paid by the oil lobby" resentment bandwagon.

Again, everyone has completely capitulated to the reactionaries, like people in Vichy France. They are jumping on the reactionary bandwagon. The reactionaries are exceptionally aggressive (an obvious, unimaginative tactic) and people feel powerless against them, so like people bullied on the playground, they find a safe position: Join the bullies and attack their targets.

It is only insider trading if you are basing your trades on insider information. If your only reason for selling is “I just got laid off and need the cash” then you should be fine
> "During this call, my manager told me that I would receive a severance offer over an e-mail and urged me to sign a separation agreement to get a severance payment of one week's salary."

I think a lot of this discussion, ignores geopolitics.

If the EU really causes serious pain to the likes of Facebook/Google all that money spent on lobbying will come into play. Especially now, the US holds a lot of cards with respect to the EU, especially Germany.

My guess is that this issue will resolve with an agreement with some cosmetic changes, but will still, in actuality, allow the US to get at the data it wants.
> What other services might be run, controlled, or surveilled by the US investigative authorities?

More boringly, and more simply, they hire people who work at Apple, Google, and so forth to exfiltrate data, create constant new bugs that will at some point be called a 0 day, and it goes on and on.
Wow, I never knew that chimney air filters existed. I guess I had assumed it would be impractical for a residential size chimney.
Incidentally I tried matrix for the first time on the basis of someone recommending it here in HN, and it's extremely slow
Oh absolutely. I was careful to word things the way I did - because I get that with intimate partner violence (I believe he was "only" accused of being mentally and emotionally abusive, not physically). And it would have become an order of magnitude more difficult when cohabiting.

But if they're not living with you, and at the time, your employee, I think the "why did you not fire this person" question is pretty valid - given that she had zero hesitation in firing multitudes of people very close to her for even slightly rocking the boat.
I presume that The Expanse will return in a decade or so, which would help in depicting the last three books.
Yes, you trade commute for $$, with every 10mins being worth about $7-10k (I think), and every "point" on the school rating being another $10-15k. The heat maps tend to be centered around Google, Apple and Facebook.

I live downtown San Jose, 90min commute/day, and paid $500-$600k less, but the school isn't anywhere near as good.

Parents have different perceptions of value and choose differently.

East Bay was never an option for me - can't commute by bike from there to Mountain View/Sunnyvale.
Deutsche Telekom. I also remember it being stopped, but looks like it has been revived.

Using one of the correct path separators for the OS isn't necessary? And someone using one of the correct path separators needs a reminder that other path separtors exist?

There was no more purpose to that than reminding someone that they could have used UNC paths, URIs, 8.3 short names, ...
Of course they have agency. Many, perhaps most, of those who have been allowed to have fled the country. It is of course their right to stay and fight for anything they believe in.

When I say I don't think it's in their best interest to do so, and that I think they are misjudging Russia's determination if they believe they can win, I'm not taking away their agency. As such, I don't believe my leaders are doing them a service when they are supplying them with weapons and military intel, and if it were in my power, I would stop this supply (all the leadership, and the vast majority of the public, in my country is almost rabidly anti-Russian and pro-NATO, so this is an extremely theoretical exercise).

In the end, I believe NATO is playing chicken with Russia, but putting Ukraine in the speeding car instead of driving it themselves. I don't think this is wise, and definitely not good for Ukraine.
It will. You pay the guy who will break your legs first. Thus you will be delinquent on other stuff.
People really want a house, and the banks allow it.
Well, I have news for you: 100K in a LCOL is a type of salary that pretty much nobody in the US, let alone the rest of the world earns. It's an elite salary. The absolute top tier for employees worldwide.

It's not hate, it's trying to get people to understand that they are elite and privileged.
You sound salty. Improve the power source emissions instead of trying to dictate what type of car people want to drive.
I'd argue the arrangement of this data is pretty deceptive. They give fields like "Desktop Environments" a green checkmark even though the vast majority are still unsupported. Furthermore, none of this addresses some of the real showstopper bugs like blurry UI scaling, screen locking issues, screensharing being largely unsupported or UB/artifacting problems on legacy apps. I'd like to assume good faith here, but the arrangement of this site is really odd: the first list is comprised of applications, and the "only thing" missing is color management/HDR, which is decidedly not an application.

Do your own research. Wayland is an improvement for web browsing and text editing, but I've found it unusable for anything outside of extremely light, limited workloads. YMMV.
It is horrible if the volatility has a high chance of coinciding with the emergency you're preparing for.

Worried about medical emergencies? Emergency fund in equities isn't terrible. But if your emergency fund is supposed to support you after getting laid off due to an economic downturn, your emergency fund is going to be a lot smaller than it was right before the emergency. And if your emergency fund is in the stock of the same company that you work at, you're opening yourself up to just not having an emergency fund in the worst-case scenario that your company outright goes under.
Honestly, this is a good thing. No one should be buying mechanical watches as investments expecting them to be appreciating assets. This shouldn't hurt Rolex, Patek, AP, VC, etc, as there's plenty of demand for their products and they're not selling them on the secondary market anyway. If it does end up hurting them, it's only because they allowed their ADs to participate in all kinds of shady behavior that ultimately drove up the secondary market pricing.
Trust Report seems to be irrelevant to this (from what I can tell from the brochure without being a vanta customer), because it's a way for a company to publish claims about itself. Crucially, nowhere does it say that an independent auditor verified those claims.

SOC2 broadly contains:

- A description of what the company claims to do

- A statement that the description is complete and accurate

- Auditor's testing procedure for verifying the company's claims

- The results of the testing

- The auditor's overall conclusion as to whether the company meets the bar for SOC2.

Trust Report seems to only cover the first point.
not sure i understand what the point is.. Embedded usually means c2b communication, not c2c. The professional you're communicating with is probably already hosting its computer's data on the company's network...
Definitely agree, I probably wouldn't touch them at this point any more at all.

Was just replying to the notion that this couldn't be artificial highway robbery just because their net margin isn't great. I believe it definitely still can be, because apparently the only way these companies are even in business right now is exactly by highway robbery.
It’s using normal Matrix olm/megolm double ratchet encryption.

To track the identity of who you’re talking to we can do TOFU and/or normal out of band Matrix verification as per https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/issues/518 - but this isn’t yet exposed in Chatterbox. We’ll get it added, as without verification you obviously can’t spot a MITM.
The featured article ;)

Edit: Sorry, the winky face was meant as sarcasm. I'm pretty sure most people mean "the fucking article", but there isn't any definition anywhere I can find. For now this is an acronym with, let's say, "reasonable doubt", about what it means.
I think the premise of the article is a bit silly - not everything is "average-able". The US is huge, and many places (like SV) do have 100% renewable energy so the electric is carbon free. This is like saying that if Portugal had a 100% clean grid that cars in Poland powered by coal plants meant that Portuguese EV's were not truly "environmental".
High concentration of crooks. Particularly near Portcullis House and the Houses of Parliament.
As usual, Crypto shills push these extremely complicated technical solutions to problems which have very simple economic/legal solutions. The problem here is that companies are not selling ownership. NFTs do nothing for this because companies are still not selling ownership.
Russia was never going to allow Ukraine to become a de facto or de jure NATO ally.

Who asked them?
Unfortunately despite the track record nuclear won't make a revival. The planning cycles for new plants are just too long. Renewables will yet again half in price by the time you could just build another nuclear plant. That's why really nobody is trying anymore.
> ..the accuracy of the book and TV show is questionable

Leaving aside the TV show for a moment - most of the book Bad Blood was "overflow" and further detail from the same person who wrote the WSJ pieces, that were extensively fact checked (I realize that doesn't make them infallible) before going to press, especially after the first piece, because Theranos fought back hard.

What are the claims of "questionable accuracy"?
Yes, but etherium forked in favor of the stakeholders.
This would be a good move for the EU. If they faithfully clone a competitor, especially one more utility-focused (i.e. taking public funding) than marketing-focused, Americans would ditch facebook faster than people left Digg.

I have doubts about the EU's ability to execute on that, but all they need to do is give people the exact same shit without the contamination of Meta, and make data import from facebook seamless.
Americans are known throughout southeast Asia for smelling bad, in large degree because they do not bathe as much as locals do. But also because of their diet.
> Scientifically we already proofed that fusion works, which would be the solution for a lot...

There is no evidence that fusion is a solution to any energy problems. The central problem of fusion power is that reactions consume more energy than they produce.
It's not God given, but it is the law. The problem with having unwritten rules is that we don't know what they are.

Why wouldn't seawater extraction scale? There's 4 billion tons of uranium in the sea (a 60,000 year supply at current usage levels), and 100 trillion tons of uranium below that from which it's replenished as it is extracted.

Dont forget that there's a lot of embodied energy in everything too.

Even renewable capacity creates CO2 when it's made. So does the grid. So does maintaining these things. And so does drilling for oil, & shipping it around the world, processing it, and shipping it again.
this is like saying “i tried the web, and it’s extremely slow”. what server were you using? and which client on which platform?
> So- in addition to losing their jobs, which Twitter assured employees would not happen

I'm not that old, but even I remember a time when companies, at least in principle, would invest in their employees (via stable employment, regular raises, mutual trust) in return for employees investing in the companies (innovation, extra effort, dedication, championing the company brand). Today, we have this:

- Companies using the barest of excuses, or none at all, to lay off employees. Because it makes good business sense.

- Companies lying, deliberately and freely, to employees about upcoming layoffs, in order to "stave off panic". Because it makes good business sense.

- Companies laying employees off in the most impersonal fashions possible (large Zoom meetings, automated email, SMS). Because business sense, etc.

- Companies literally escorting laid-off employees out of the building like criminals, on the premise that a suddenly-former employee is an incipient criminal.

- Companies stiffing people on severance, based on a cost-benefit analysis which concludes that the potential legal bills will cost less than a fair and reasonable severance. Because, again, it makes good business sense.

In spite of the downsides of unions, this turn of affairs is really an argument in favor of universal unionization.

app for this. Google docs is great! I can open the same doc on my desktop, my two laptops, my tablet, and my phone, and if I need to share it it's just a couple of clicks to share a live version. I can't imagine using a desktop app for this

From like 1993 To 2008 i used microsoft office. Bought new versions often, etc... When I started using google docs I haven't touched office since. Zero desire to go back.

There are plenty of other apps I'd consider for web only if good ones existed. For example I'm not a super fan of Google Slides, just because I find the feature set lacking. But seeing it and similar sites work it's clear to me someone could make a vector drawing app for the web that I'd be perfectly happy to give up Affinity Designer for.

This sounds like a useful banking product but unfortunately in Canada and the US they mostly try and get us to pay the mortgage quicker and then borrow money back at a higher rate if we need to. I think this product would lead to people not using other loan products and never overpaying on their mortgage (why would you if you can offset the interest?)
