"Locked in" doesn't just mean "I use a single thing for everything".

It means that switching costs are high. With the exception of losing chat history (which I was surprised to find most people don't seem to care about), switching costs between chat platforms are virtually nonexistent.

2048 was similarly flawed (cycle up, right, down, left to win), so I doubt a new block on each turn will solve the issue any more than it did for the original.
You have spectacularly missed the point, and that’s not a good faith response.
Let's say I have a stack of 1000 hundred dollar bills.

Then an OFAC-sanctioned individual adds another hundred dollar bill to the stack, to make 1001 hundred dollar bills.

Are you saying if I spend 1000 of those, and leave one hundred dollar bill unspent, but the unspent bill is a different piece of paper with a different serial number than the one provided by the sanctioned individual, then I've broken the law?

But if I knew the serial number of the specific hundred dollar bill provided by the OFAC-sanctioned individual, and didn't spend that exact piece of paper, but just kept it in my wallet, then somehow that makes all the difference and now I haven't broken the law?

Since currency, Ethereum and Bitcoin are all fungible and mutually interchangeable, what difference does it make?

I just showed how Apple could implement exactly its method on Android. I'm not sure why you're looking for other methods.

As far as private antispam, you can imagine a hashcash-like system that takes into account how many messages you've accepted from the sender, but this is a completely different discussion.

Have you used React before? It's miles above HTML templating. I honestly don't use frameworks that have regular templating anymore, like Vue or Svelte.
So, this: "The top reasons women are
drawn to tech and IT include a passion
for computers (35%) and an interest in
how things work (33%)."

...reinforces something I have noticed elsewhere, which is that the absolute numbers of women entering tech and IT is not declining, but the percentage of all people entering tech and IT who are women, is declining.

Once upon a time, the only people going into these jobs were the ones interested in them. Now, most of the people going into tech and IT, are doing so for the prospect of a good salary. Nothing wrong with that, but lots of evidence already exists that salary is much higher on the list of motivating factors for men when choosing a career.

The number of tech and IT jobs that needed to be built went way up, far higher than the number of people (men or women) who were naturally interested. So, the salaries went up as a result. As a result of that, a lot more people went into tech and IT, but almost all of those were men.

Not sure what the logical next step would be to fix this, however...
This may not be true in the US, but in the "mobile world", Android is "most of".
> It’s really oppressive that Apple doesn’t let you install WhatsApp, Secret, Telegram, FB Messenger or any other communications app beyond their own.

Let's not turn it into a whole Boudin debate. He was recalled, which indicates some level of voter discontent with how he operated. I personally voted against recall, but it is what it is.
Money has been massively stigmatized, because that is a prerequisite for centralizing control over economic interaction.

The beneficiaries of this centralized control are any one who depends on government spending or regulatory restrictions for their job, it's your parents and neighbours, your partner and cousin. This is a massive cohort - who are over-represented in the top 10% of income earners [1] - who participate in the manufacturing of consent for restrictions on our right to engage in mutually voluntary economic interactions with other consenting adults.

That doesn't mean a whole lot.
Thank you for your detailed answer! I enjoy hearing about other programs and experiences. I didn't have the benefit of something like this growing up, so I have to guess a fair bit about what is helpful and will only know for sure 15 years from now when my former students might tell me.

> What have they done with their little computers? Anything notable? If you can share, please do.

We only really picked up the computers themselves in the last 2-3 weeks of class; we were much more into theory and logic. I provided some system calls to move sprites around on the top of the screen, so there were some simple games written using that... and one student implemented a game inviting you to guess the computer's number.

> Basically, the teacher asked is to declare what we were going to try and do and that was more about making sure we did something besides play games than it was anything else.

This sounds really awesome. This sounds like what I try to do with after-school robotics.

My (older) brothers had a really awesome educational experience where the local district had set up something they called "Independent Learning Module" and later "Kleine Schule" that was very much self directed.

Education is much more regimented now-- whether in public schools or private schools. All the emphasis on standards, unified curriculum, alignment and articulation of courses to colleges, etc, have certainly improved the depth of education and likely improved the average quality of education. But these changes also make it harder to offer an experience like this.

Perhaps the pendulum is slowly starting to swing the other way, with a lot of discussion of "student agency".

From the after-school program-- it's interesting how students struggle at first with setting the agenda. I have high achieving students who breeze through all kinds of things that I think of as difficult. But then other things, like organizing a set of to-do items onto a calendar to make a coarse schedule, often seem daunting to the students and cause paralysis.

We use Elixir at work, but a lot of us either did a Java bootcamp, or came over from Java jobs, and in some places the codebase reflects that.

I agree that Apple is annoying about this, but it's silly for Android (.com?) to complain that texting _in general_ is broken because of Apple. They've got clearly the larger market share worldwide, and wherever Android is more popular, people are on WhatsApp instead of SMS anyway.

Even a group chat purely between US Android users tends to be carried out on Facebook Messenger, not SMS, I guess cause SMS sucks even on Android.
Maybe deep down, a lot of people on HN did too but won't admit it. Not calling anyone out, but I know how the crowd around here values 'networking' and the vanity associated with it.
in my opinion fairly straight-forward but I suppose unpopular answer.. they shouldn't. Privacy doesn't overrule other interests of the state and for me it's a case-by-case issue.

https is primarily used for legitimate purposes and without it the internet wouldn't function in a secure way. Tornado Cash is at the other end of the spectrum. It barely makes sense to use it for anything that isn't crime. Private messaging sits somewhere in the middle. I think demands to be able to tap communication with a warrant are legitimate.
I don’t even know how an algorithm can tie someone to AOC and Ben Shapiro at the same time. What on earth are you browsing.
I get like two spam SMS a year. And my SMS app always properly flags them as being spam/scams. This really is such a terrible excuse.

It's also ignoring the root issue. Adding RCS to iMessages doesn't affect the spam. You'll still get it from both SMS and RCS.

Apple not adding RCS is 100% due to keeping market share.
There was a ban on foreign investors last year for two full years, but it's mainly a scapegoat. The real problem is realtor facing, with shadow bidding, cheap access to large mortgages, over zealous campaigning of the "Canadian/American dream", and my personal favorite: total lack of rail infrastructure. The GTA does it better than Vancouver, with it's Go Train system et al, but Vancouver is totally cramped with its encircling USA border and mountainous regions. On top of that, with what available land there is, homeowners and city workers petition to prevent construction of new homes. It's NIMBYism at it's finest, allowing homeowners to gladly rake in yearly appreciations at 10-30% while Vancouverites with "generational" down payments of 200-300k out-shadow-bid each other for East Van / Surrey / Coquitlam sloppy seconds.

The silver lining here is remote work. Both Vancouver and Toronto are in dire need of a physical brain drain. Allow remote workers to work from across Canada. The demand for in-city workers will lower and home prices will fall
>The Ford dealership was able to pinpoint the actual problem, which was a $25 ambient temp sensor-- but it's buried in the center of the dash requiring $1000 worth of labor to replace.

Many years ago, probably even back in the 90's, I read something online where the person discovered holding two open boxes of straws so that both ears were basically listening down the mass of tubes, which were blocked at the ends since they were still in the opened box. He called it a "sound sucker" but noted that it caused him to feel like he was suddenly disembodied, besides of course making things quieter.

This is clearly the same psychosomatic response, but invoked in a completely different way. People who go into a sound recording booth for the first time often get spooked by it initially. In all three cases, it really does feel like there is abnormal pressure on your eardrums, even though there isn't.

I think your brain is expecting to feel pressure on your external ear whenever environmental sound is inhibited - literally covering or plugging your ears. Sound canceling ear buds, super comfortable headphones, straw "sound suckers" and audio recording booths all lack that sensation while inhibiting environmental sounds (room reverberations etc.).
1. I would not call it consensus, for example the top comment on this article disagrees with that ‘consensus’

2. Here are two nuanced arguments about each that I’ve seen:

Communications privacy is good in the small and mirrors the world with earlier technology with some differences. In the large it can allow maintaining much larger conspiracies than were previously possible with private meetings. One may consider it acceptable from a privacy and free speech perspective to allow secret communication in small groups but less secret communication in large groups. Indeed for political speech in a modern democracy you generally want it in public anyway, and WhatsApp and signal have small group sizes so you get this anyway. For very large groups, leaks seem hard to avoid. A counter argument might be that militaries / companies are in some sense like conspiracies in the way they want to keep state/trade secrets. However in typical democracies there may be document release schedules/transparency laws and internal company information may be revealed through patents, subpoenas, or just plain old leaks.

The money argument is that whereas people typically have similar amounts of private speech, some people have many orders of magnitude more money than others. Privacy for communication is then reasonably fairly distributed across the population (though those with more to hide may gain more) whereas privacy for money is mostly an advantage for the people with lots of it. Giving the people who are already rich and powerful this kind of advantage in avoiding scrutiny/taxes may not be considered fair or desirable. A counter argument could be that it is unfair for the rich to be exposed to such increased scrutiny merely because of their money.
Mhh it could be tried yes! It is a small idea I need to improve!
Normally, you would not have the best solution if you rotate in the same direction, but yes it's not really fun to win even doing that :/ Thanks!
That's very interesting. I did not know that was the case.

I've thought about how the reasons VC is so important can be ranked:

1. Validation is antidote to founder burnout
2. Collaboration improves iteration.
3. Money covers founder and startup expenses.

The money isn't the most important thing in my experience.

I think there's a big opportunity to shift the validation/collaboration to early stages and for more founders and the result will be more and better and bolder startups.

I'm pretty sure there's a giant unlock connecting founder vision, community, and VC.

Google maps has been becoming worse over time. It used to show metro lines by default. Now, you have to turn that on as a layer. It used to show all the stations on those lines. Now, depending on zoom, it algorithmically decides that some aren't important enough to show. It also stopped showing things like station names and what stops there. So you can no longer use it as a transit map, and just glance at it for directions. The alternative is the far more tedious interaction of typing in your destination and waiting for the server to respond with step by step idiot-proof directions when all you actually needed was the line number.

But then it gets worse. Suppose the page is still loading. For some arcane reason, part of the interface loads, then the map, then the rest of the interface. If you can't find the navigation buttons for pan and zoom, they are exactly where you first looked they simply weren't displayed yet. The interface also used to make it easy to drop pins and measure distances. Just basic quality of life utility that a good online map should have.

How did gmaps get worse? If they did literally nothing it would be better. Someone came in at some point and decided "this isn't designed enough" and proceeded to hide or rip out features. Superficial minimalism. It's not simplification, it's reduction.
I hope they follow Go's example and maintain a "bootstrap" branch that only need a C++ compiler, which can be used to build the latest version. Otherwise it will be a hard sell in distributions that don't want random binaries at the root of all Swift packages.

Or at least make sure new versions can be built with the previous (Rust-style), and not require downloading new binaries for every release (looking at you, Mono).

See Ken Thompsons now-infamous "reflections on trusting trust" and https://bootstrappable.org for why this is important.

“We have no evidence” strongly implies some sort of extensive forensic dance was performed, and was fruitless. “We have no way of knowing” sounds much more like epistemological resignation. “Evidence” is a pretty loaded word to use.

So is python. Doesn't mean you use it for your latency critical software.
> I assume that means "efficient at runtime" - but by what metrics? CPU time? Memory usage? Power usage? Latency/responsiveness? Throughput?

Not OP, but coming from Python, I find it is liberating to say: I need to write a for-loop for things, and it is OK, not going to be the most efficient thing, but it won't slow me down 1000x and become the major bottleneck. That has been said, Julia probably do the same thing.

Honestly same. And the same thing for getting Wi-Fi calls with people on the same network and how they sound crystal clear but then you call someone who's not on your network and it sounds like a crappy phone call again. When my dad and I were both on Google fi our phone calls sounded great and texting through RCS was great. He switched to the same carrier that his new wife has and the service is just degraded.

What's really ridiculous is that iPhone _doesn't_ parse this and display the reaction bubble, so the SMS experience is better for Android people talking to iOS people than it is for iOS people talking to iOS people.
I hate using multiple messaging services. I hate the annoying point in time when conversations with someone move beyond the needs of SMS/MMS, and we have to do the annoying dance to figure out which messaging apps we have in common. And god forbid it's a new group chat, then we have to figure out which messaging app several people have in common.

With an open, single, federated messaging standard that's integrated into the stock messaging app of every Android and Google phone, all of that just goes away. If people really want to use another app because it gives them some useful benefit, they can still choose to do so. But I want the default, universal messaging standard to be something that lets me send photos and videos without quality loss to the point that videos are unwatchable.
SMS spam is real.
I may be displaying a shameful lack of knowledge about modern history, but I can't think of any revolution besides the American that didn't result in a worsening of social and economic conditions for at least a generation.
