> That is a personal choice, and I choose to not have spam on my phone.

The problem here is that we are talking about a (possible, hypothetical) measure that blocks spam, but requires phones to be 100% locked down and unmodified from the factory. I categorically refuse to accept that sort of thing. If you will accept that, then you are a part of the problem.

In reality, though, there are plenty of ways to combat spam that do not require us to have locked-down phones and move closer and closer to a corporate nanny state. Your shitty telco is actually fully capable of blocking spam like what you've received, but they have chosen not to.

> Corporations, such as Google, make decisions for users without getting their consent nor without informing the users.

Sure, but at present I can wipe my phone and install GrapheneOS or CalyxOS or whatever, and Google will not be able to make any decisions as to what I do on my phone.

I get that they make other random decisions for us. Sure, that's inevitable. If I want to use Google Docs or whatever, they will make decisions about how my data is used, and what features are present in the product, etc. I accept that, and am ok with that. But if I'm sold a piece of general-purpose hardware, I expect to be able to do whatever I want with it.

> If you sign into a Google account in a web browser on your phone, for instance, the sign-in will also silently and non-consentually sign you into your Google account across all Google apps installed on the device without informing you.

Maybe if you use Chrome, but... I don't. So that doesn't happen to me.
That's my point, we don't have much more than that. Even a 2-arg function is missing. You can supplement with something like Vavr or just write your own, but even then it's not pleasant to read "Function3<A, B, C, D>".

Typescript, Kotlin, and Scala all do this way better. Here's an example from Kotlin (it's an extension function, but focus on the combiner lambda):

fun <T, R> Collection<T>.fold(
initial: R,
combine: (acc: R, nextElement: T) -> R
): R {
....
}
I find the easiest way to set it up is using docker. Running openvpn or wireguard in a docker container (they often have a killswitch built in), then having my transmission and other docker containers use it as its network. The docker image I use for wireguard with PIA is thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia
It certainly only appears like I am "self-promoting" but I was not aware of that until you pointed it out....Which, even so, I don't care whether someone cares or not about it.

There are a number of "well-regarded" figures in history--Columbus is one, the Americans even celebrate a day in his name--who should be condemned in fact...

My comment is of service to the intelligent reader and its main purport is: it's ok to find fault with the seemingly intelligent "well-regarded historical figures" if they do not match your objectively-finetuned assessment of what it means to be intelligent.
Depends on the question. I agree that the argument for a random person giving money to try to reduce AI risk seems dubious, and touched on this in another comment - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32394429 - although I'm not up to speed on the "longtermism" debate as such.

But I think the argument for a policymaker or ML researcher to be worrying about this is at least better than Pascal's Wager (and remains so whether or not you buy any particular whiff-of-Pascal claims about simulations, "acausal trade", etc).
Like his other work, Crafting Interpreters, this is so much more approachable, understandable, and actionable than any academic textbooks or courses on the equivalent subjects are. It sometimes amazes me that one can learn anything at all without material like this.
Please tell me where I claimed it wasn't.
That stickwiggle has fused itself into the fiber of my being, so I’ll be right there with you.
There’s over a dozen different versions of RCS, hand who knows which carrier supports which parts. It’d be more fall-through (the cracks) than fall back.
Even if Google didn't implement it, which I think they would, somebody else would do so and put it on the Play store. That's all it would take to make this issue go away for everyone.
I grew up with both hurricanes and tornadoes. Tornadoes freak me out.. I remember watching The Wizard of Oz.. the tornado scene with the funnel in background really freaked me out as a kid. Also, read Night of the Twisters in the early 90's.

The one thing that freaks me out about hurricanes is the human element leading up to, during, and the days/weeks after the storm... all kinds of people come out of the woodwork and law enforcement usually has their hands full. I had a friend get a gun pulled on him for "buying too much gas" leading up to a storm. Issues with theft, roving bands of people, etc.
It was probably MMS, not SMS. SMS does not support group chat, but MMS does.

AMD's Zen 2 Apus were not made (widely) avaialble at retail, and Zen+ APUs only went to quad core. If you wanted 6 cores and an integrated GPU, you had to buy Intel or from Aliexpress or wait until August 2021 for Zen3 APUs to launch. The two 4650G chips I got in late 2020 work great, but having to call my card issuer to get them to turn off all fraud production for an hour so I can get an order in wasn't ideal.

> something goes wrong with, let's say, DNS

I ran into exactly this issue for the cert-manager to obtain a LetsEncrypt certificate for our cluster. (The ACME URL was failing inside the pod: no route to host). It took me quite a long time just to figure out it was a DNS related issue because K8s buries technology behind so many layers. How can I make a simple edit to /etc/hosts? Who knows? Ohh and you are not supposed to do it that way anyway. The solution ended up being forcing the cert-manger to run on a node with no DNS issues using such Byzantine terms as "tolerations". Its that bizarre vocabulary where they are obviously trying really hard to abstract something away from you that you would just rather be able to get your hands on. It reminds me of other absurdly complex technologies from the Java world like J2EE and whatnot.
Never knew it wrapped shell commands - good to know!
Pretty sure 5150 refers to the IBM model 5150, the original PC, not to a law.
I just commented about this. I get the impression large investors are using other lesser known companies to make acquisitions probably to conceal financial records somehow. It's like a shell corp but one that is legitimate enough to not be called a shell corp outright.
IIRC with RCS, carriers don't run the infrastructure, Google does.
Have been looking for something like this for several years to replace the custom UI/orchestrator for a science gateway. The other options I've seen don't do auto UI generation or don't allow self-hosting or aren't open source. This looks great. Thank you.
>>The paper doesn't speak to anything about OFAC,

Not sure why you're trying to whitewash the Treasury's actions. The release they put out highlights the allegation of TC being used for money laundering, and sanctions enforcement is one of the objectives of AML programs.

So the paper is relevant.
Sure, but I'm talking about simply having the capability. If Google started getting ridiculous, regularly censoring apps, deleting data off people's phones, stuff like that, I can easily believe that there'd be a push to make installing an alternative ROM or OS a simple thing to do. Regardless, the option is there. I think there's a ton of value in that, even if the vast majority of users don't avail themselves of it.

With iOS, you live with what Apple lets you do, and that's that.
I dont imagine implementing their own imessage clone would work as hardware vendors such as samsung will remove the stock app and ship their own.

I agree totally, and it's worth highlighting part of the problem for those who don't write Go. http.ResponseWriter superficially looks relatively simple, but it has a number of optional interfaces attached to it that allow for things like "hijacking" the connection (for things like websockets, that initiate an HTTP connection but use it to transform into something else). Writing a wrapper around the easy and declared use case is not that hard, but blows up in weird ways if you don't also handle all the optional interfaces, and that gets even more fun if you start having frameworks trying to layer multiple of these together.

Go interfaces are fun and all but optional interfaces can get a bit spiky when you start trying to use the decorator pattern on them. And in Go, decorator is a fundamental pattern in the toolkit used quite frequently, not an obscure novelty to pull out once every few years.
Explain how please.
Did you think”no spam ever” was the pitch? Then you misunderstood.
I think you're misreading the above comment.

He's pointing out that Apple considered green originally the best background color for texting, and then added their own protocol with a blue background.

So it's not like they deliberately relegated SMS to green because they were certain blue was better; if they believed blue was superior, they'd have used it from the beginning.
That's a really good point. Certainly you don't want either to go down, but outages are more tolerable if customer requests are still getting serviced regardless.

Could be country specific..
They could be using it to verify your phone number is being spoofed overseas. If location data on your device indicates you are currently in Texas, but suddenly a charge is made originating in Malaysia, it would trigger an alert based on a geo-location mis-match... They can also use it against you to find out where you go when you are paying in just cash, or for other nosy reasons. That's why the overreach is bad. When you consider other companies in insurance, the IRS, THE ENTIRE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY, and even CVS tracking you through apps, the harmful secret data they could compile on us to better fleece and police us is potentially outrageous.
Sure, I mean, finalizers have been deprecated as long as I can remember. But -- as you say -- they still work, and I expect will continue to work for quite a while. And, as you suggest, probably forever for existing bytecode that targets older JVM versions.

You can disable Secure Boot on a Mac and still use iMessage.

In this state, it would still be theoretically possible to attest to some kind of unique hardware ID, as the Secure Enclave is still locked down. But even if it weren't, it would be good enough to just distribute a unique key with each device. Sure you could take it off the device, but who cares? If it got banned, you'd still need to buy a new device for a new key.

…But given the sibling comment (by pxeboot) about using iMessage in a VM, I'm not sure whether any of this is actually done.
> As this type of reactor does not require water for cooling, it will be able to operate in desert regions. The Chinese government has plans to build more across the sparsely populated deserts and plains of western China, complementing wind and solar plants and reducing China's reliance on coal-fired power stations.

Good news for reducing CO2 emissions around the world. Shame there's an evolving rift in international relations that will keep this technology out of the western sphere and it's allies (let alone political anxiety about Nuclear power)
Something that isn't appreciated enough is how reliability issues demolish your teams throughput. Got a random cluster restart heisenbug taking customers offline? good luck debugging it for the next 6 weeks. Alternately, ignore the problem while your engineers get woken up at night until they quit...

The progress of software has been towards managed offerings for a reason. A company can make it their entire business to own fixing these reliability issues for you, and keeping them at bay. Do you really want to be int the business of managing a cloud on your cloud?
Why is that cheating?

I honestly don’t see why focusing on the strengths of a tech and avoiding the weaknesses is considered “cheating”. The whole point of my initial post was “k8s can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it”.

It’s not “cheating” to focus on the parts of k8s that make it simple. It’s not “cheating” to use a tech for it’s strengths and not it’s weaknesses.

You could technically use (and some people do use) redis as your primary data store. Is it “cheating” to suggest that’s not a good idea? Is it a bad idea to pull it in to your infrastructure even though it’s not a great at permanent storage?

K8s biggest value add is stateless applications. I’ve never suggested otherwise. You can get in the weeds of managing volumes and state if you like, but that adds a fair bit of complexity that, IMO, isn’t worth it vs something like a managed db instance from your cloud provider.

I honestly don’t get the “you are cheating by using and benefiting from the simplest features and setup of k8s like you said others should do!”

Just the same as anyone else: you figure out how much house you can buy, save a down payment, then start talking to your bank and a real estate agent.

No it’s not that weird, I love cars and car culture. I want to live outside of dense urban areas, have a lot of land and feel generally uncomfortable traveling in public transport. I’m not alone. People will generally look the other way when it comes to things they love.
I feel this so much, been working with F# in some sub projects. C# is hard to go back to. Though Microsoft's route of stealing wholesale from the former is making it gradually more palatable.
I think edge computing and CDNs might be what is making this all more interesting. It is not just where you render (Server vs. Client), it is where you render (Dallas vs. Rio). If you can get your app to re render small sections and have the framework figure out that these sections are static and can chuck them in a CDN (or they are not and need an edge server, or a central server) then you can get lots of optimizations that way.

That said, for most side projects and commercial projects the complexity may not be worth it. It probably makes the most difference to very high traffic sites where money is lost for each millisecond delay in giving you the page (or the ads). And in this sense it may be premature optimization.

I like using Next.js, but I often wonder if it is "too much" and adds complexity I wouldn't have otherwise. An old fashioned rails app, and some caching / CDN done in front of it as a separate concern is probably more than enough performance for most people.

Twilio's VPN does use a certificate. I have no direct insider knowledge related to this specific incident, but I suspect the VPN wasn't breached. My guess is someone phished their way in through Okta SSO, and then was able to access something like Salesforce, or some other third-party hosted app that Twilio uses.

I couldn’t agree more. I like the walled garden. I don’t care if some messages are green. If I wanted to have granular control over everything, I’d buy an Android phone. I really struggle to see why some regulatory body should be able to force a company to alter their products unless it’s something that impacts customer safety. There are plenty of alternatives in the market.

I suspect most iPhone users are of a similar opinion or no opinion at all. Sure, here on HN you can find plenty of strong opinions, but the average iPhone user doesn’t care and is happy with the ecosystem and hardware.

Why should Apple (or anyone) be on the hook for implementing proprietary extensions? Once you peel back the marketing schtick this is just demanding that Google be able to determine which proprietary services are included on an Apple product. That's ridiculous on its face.

If the issue is interoperability with Android users, fine. Google had successful messaging apps on iOS (I used a few) and they destroyed them through their own mismanagement. RCS doesn't solve that in the slightest.

> This... isn't really hard?

If you want E2EE the demand is now that Apple spin up its own Google-RCS servers and/or rely on Google's infrastructure. If you want Apple to rely on the carriers you don't get E2EE. Rather than work with the carriers Google fragmented RCS making implementation that much more difficult.
> I get the impression large investors are using other lesser known companies to make acquisitions probably to conceal financial records somehow. It's like a shell corp but one that is legitimate enough to not be called a shell corp outright.

That's simply not correct.

It's an all stock transaction, so AppLovin can issue stock equal to $17.5B and transfer that to owners of Unity stock in return for their Unity stock. Then the two companies merge and the AppLovin stock owners now own both.

You can read details here:

> in a transaction where each outstanding share of Unity common stock would be exchanged for 1.152 shares of AppLovin Class A voting common stock and 0.314 shares of AppLovin Class C non-voting common stock. Under these terms, current Unity shareholders would receive approximately 55.0% of the outstanding shares of the combined company, with the Class A shares representing approximately 49.0% of the outstanding voting rights of the combined company.
