That same thinking is what led me to build [Primo](https://github.com/primodotso/primo) - a SSG in a desktop/server CMS. It’s the only thing me or anyone I know who’s uses it uses to build normal websites anymore bc it’s so much faster to get a site up and easier to write code/content.
RCS doesn't inherently depend on Google servers. However Google doesn't see eye-to-eye with anyone. The carriers want their own version of RCS and Apple doesn't want to deal with it. Of course it's easier to get clicks by bashing Apple than by holding the carriers accountable (or supporting your own deprecated messaging platforms).

https://pocketnow.com/why-you-should-probably-avoid-googles-...

Google has exactly zero credibility here. Look how many messaging platforms they've created and killed off. Who's to say Google won't kill off RCS when they get a chance?

The question was about phone numbers, not apple id.
It's really weird how cars get a pass for so much.

It's really weird how trucks get a pass from people who don't give cars a pass. If tire wear is proportional to road wear, the majority of tire-originating microplastics is from semi trucks, not commuter sedans.
Google's server with Jibe Mobile only exists because the carriers weren't doing anything at all and they needed to have something that worked for everyone.

If Apple implemented support, they would have their own server, they wouldn't use Jibe or the carrier's.
Show HN: Tuesday Triage, weekly crème de la crème of the Internet
For the past two years I curate a newsletter with ~10 posts I've enjoyed reading and ~10 things I didn't know before, as well as a tad of my ranting and a book or two.
In the US we are a bit more liberal with driving training. Any parent with a drivers license can train their children to drive. Schools have driving classes but you are not always required to take them.
One of the problem's with MDM software is that corps want you to login and use your personal phone, I guess to save costs, and to make it easy for you to do work out of your regular business hours.

If a company asked me to use MDM software and set themselves up as a device owner on a phone I purchased and used every day my answer is: hell no

If they want that, they can buy me a phone, and pay for the mobile/data plan. I've worked places that have done this, having 2 phones is a pain, but you only use the corp one at work or if you're oncall.
Google maps has gotten worse in that it doesn’t remember that my default search is for driving, not walking.
yes, since that is about how you handle the offsets most of the time.
At most you just have an instruction for source side, and one for target side.
I will say however, this is useful for files, but not for deltas, as it makes delta composability much more complicated, and also makes streaming harder.

(IE with only original-source copies, and a->delta1->delta2->delta3->b, composing delta1/2/3 prior to applying them is easy and simple to reason about.
If you allow target side copies, it is a lot messier)

Way back in the day, when i upgraded subversion's delta format, i did a lot of work on testing out various mechanisms - in practice, target side copies were much worse, and much more expensive to process, than doing source-only copies and then zlib'ing the delta instructions + new data ;)
Which is why regulation needs to step in. The "free" market has failed.

Are they, though? Sure, if you're an iPhone user and everyone you know is an iPhone user, things are great. But once one person uses Android (or, god forbid, a feature phone), your experience gets much worse. No more E2EE, no more read receipts, no more typing notifications, no more reliable delivery and message ordering, no more sending videos at a watchable resolution...
I guess you've never hit a JVM bug, then? They happen.

If Discord would make it so forums can be indexed by Google (but keep the chats private), that'd potentially help with the "black hole" effect that is communities moving to Discord.
I don’t think it was a darker green, but the text was black until sometime around iOS 7, I think?

The gist of the article has been a soapbox of mine for years. We wouldn't stand for "you can only send Gmail email to other Gmail users" (Fidonet people know), and shouldn't settle for similar with messaging. That said, this spam angle is an aspect I hadn't fully considered.
Hm, that’s strange since they break down fine in my home compost bin. I wonder what’s the difference for them?
Snarky and pointless reply. It's still interesting information in the United States, where CGN is rare and residences can keep the same IP address for months or years.

I've heard that they have become less user-friendly in later iterations, but I'm using a 10-year-ish old Brother (PDF user manual is dated 2009, so the design is at least that old), and all I've done in that time is feed it paper and change the toner once. They were (and may still be) well-built and inexpensive, and they're reasonably fast (mine is 22 ppm, vs my previous 1994-design LaserJet 4+ that was far heavier and did 12 ppm). Somewhat ironically, the old 12 ppm print speed would be just fine for anything I needed to do these days - I don't do big prints - but the Brother has a very-low-power mode that the HP didn't, so it costs very little to keep it on and ready to accept AirPrint jobs.

> But that wasn't the argument you made.

How is it not? TornadoCash is used for laundering DPRK's ill-gotten gains, so we sanction it. Now anything they sent through TornadoCash is not usable. If anything else is used to launder their gains, we should sanction that too.

> When I use my credit card to buy say metal bullion online, I'm charged a huge markup if I pay with credit card.

Bitcoin does not remove the reason (fraud risk) you are charged that markup. As soon as regulations apply, everything that causes that markup to exist also applies to Bitcoin. On top of that, you have Bitcoin's high transaction costs, and completely public transactions.
No, it clearly isn't.

There is no taking of organs. It would be merely removing the parasite from the body of the host.

Quicksilver is most excellent! I made this account to share it before I saw this comment.

I have used it for a decade. I use it primarily as a launcher but it supports a usage model of select thing then select action to perform on the thing which makes it a versatile and powerful way to drive things by keyboard.

It also has a plug-in system with integrations for other apps.

I recommend the Yosemite theme.

I wonder if Discord's strategy is to reinvent ye olde on-line service in vein of AOL or CompuServe. This looks to be a step in that direction.
In theory, yes, but when you run low on memory (heap, PermGen space, whatever), you can run into unusual situations. You may have a bunch of threads spinning with exceptions, continually retrying, making no progress. You'll have no choice but to kill -9 your process and restart.
You answered the question yourself; People are better off financially. Yes, that is due to entrepreneurs and workers, but the government is essential in creating the environment where that can happen.
> the current state of affairs is just a result of an anti-consumer corporate pissing match.

This would be true if Google didn't want to implement the iMessage protocol as you predict; but in the current state of affairs it's just Apple being anticompetitive.
That will depend on the risk of using green-washed hydrogen in your supply chain, which depends on enforcement (both regulated and social).A bit like keeping child and slave labor out of your supply chain. I suspect it will require requiring certified steel providers for government or certified projects, who are required to use certified hydrogen suppliers. Maybe some countries will do that.
Also discrimination might not have even been why you didn't get the job. Maybe they filled the position or decided they just didn't need it, but didn't update on the site.

RCS has zero carrier support (in fact carriers are trying to develop their own competing standard). Why would anyone (Apple or otherwise) buy into an already fragmented Google "standard" knowing full well that Google has a pernicious habit of killing off messaging products?

Something wrong with Israel isn’t racism or bigotry.

Why would the left be the ones that put Asians on a pedestal? Fox, and alt right places put Asians in America on a pedestal enough already. It’s a regular thing when shitting on black people or brown migrants need to be kicked down by the [hard] right. I’d be curious of even minimal widespread hard left caring of Asians in a specific way.

Also, “almost as bad as whites”? Are you saying the hard left finds white people to be [really] bad? That’s something I specifically called out as an incorrect thing. It is a random talking point that to stir things up. I wish people wouldn’t take bullshit peddled seriously. Knowledge of hard left principles and people would show this is wrong.

Finally, some people everywhere of any kind are always saying something. A small portion of hard left people saying X is rigged is not comparable to the significant chunk of the moderate and extreme right doing the same.

I hope I have been able to keep the record straight that the extreme left isn’t the same as the extreme right and most assumptions or accusations of what the hard left is, have not and are not correct.

But seriously, we all know spam and abuse from bad actors is a huge problem for any sort or platform. Email, phone calls, physical mail. Sometimes people will put fliers on your car window to spam it.

Same with VPS providers. Even my router gets random pings and port scans. Forums have to fight bots. It goes on.

I have even gotten iMessage spam, which can easily be reported.

It comes in waves and goes away.
No, you miss the point.

My point is attacking the central belief in this civilization, which is that human convenience is more important than everything else.

What is more important: a) the extinction of a mammalian species, or b) a few people not being able to see their family? To me the response is very clear: a)

If a) is more important then if 2% of humanity cannot see their family that's OK. It's the cost of sharing the planet with other species that also need to survive.

I don't care if a few million people cry at night, that's better than a species going extinct. Extinction is forever.

In perspective, none of the stuff you mention really matters. Your convenience is not as important because there's 8 billion of you. You are not as special as you think.

The Society of the Statistic: Where Does Science Fit?
I know what the words mean, but I don't know what the ends are doing. Facebook practically controls either end, unless users are reverse-engineering.

I also don't know what the middle is doing. Client still trusts the server to give the correct identity aka pubkey for the other clients. Server could give its own and mitm, like a corrupt root CA for TLS. Yes this requires more deliberate action on FB's part, so it's at least better than non-e2ee, but not trustless like people often claim. This issue isn't at all unique to WhatsApp.
Idiomatic is the wrong word here, because it's certainly not idiomatic to do extra allocations when unneeded. Most APIs let you give the length explicitly if it makes any sense. A not very well-known fact is that even printf format strings let you do printf("%.*s\n", 3, "Hello") which only prints "Hel\n". This is in POSIX C, just not sure when it was standardized.

For various reasons, in the US to qualify for tax advantages and guv contracts, some firms are required to post any & all opening for X days/weeks/months. Often enough, if it's a good job, they already have their future hire decided before the post goes live.

As to the discrimination possibility: would you want to be a part of that environment, if it were true? Well intentioned or obfuscated toxicity is still toxic.

As always, YMMV.

Tell us who you are and what your company is. You truly sound like a terrible employer based on your shocking responses. You came here to ask for feedback and then when you got it you didn't like it. You are clearly the issue of why you can't hire developers. I'd wish you good luck but I won't.
> To keep your identity as veiled as possible, we recommend not adding a publicly known phone number or email address to your Twitter account.

I had to look up whether this was actually official communication, since it sounds like a kafkaesque fever dream, but yes it's real.

Tech CO's have been doing everything in their power to get your number and email, used it for advertising, and deliberately disabled non-regular phone numbers. And now suddenly you're being gaslit that it's your fault for complying with their demands.

The cream of the cake is the vague "if your phone number is publicly known" stuff. Well yeah, every single phone number is publicly known because it's enumerable. Even if it weren't, almost everyone's number is harvested and resold by gray-market data brokers. Sounds like they want to muddy the waters and make it sound like a targeted vulnerability when in reality it is indiscriminate.
This is a complete non-issue. I have no idea why people are complaining about this, except as another way in which Android users are trying to force their ecosystem choices on everyone else. The majority of people globally don't even use built-in messengers, they use WhatsApp or a similar application, most of which uses similar stylistic design choices as Apple uses for SMS, so it's hardly an issue.

I'm well aware that high schoolers get bullied for being poor and not being able to afford an iPhone. High schoolers were getting bullied for being poor and not being able to afford fancy clothes before cell phones were even a thing, and prior to smartphones were bullied for being poor and not being able to afford pagers or a cell phone (or a car, or ... or ...).

High schoolers are assholes and will find some excuse to torment each other regardless of what aesthetic and design choices somebody in Apple's UX team makes for their built-in messaging app. This is a massive nothingburger and I honestly have no idea why the media gives this any credence other than the shift of the media generally towards being anti-tech.
Let's step back for a second because we are losing focus. The original Twitter thread had people claiming that Tornado could not be removed from GitHub because it is protected constitutionally. My original comment was pointing out that this is not even remotely true. I think we can agree on that?

Second, and this is just my opinion, but if I had to make two sets with the nouns 'book', 'poem', 'manual', 'hammer', 'jacket', and 'program', the partitions would be thus: book and poem would be together, with manual, hammer, jacket, and program in the other category. I'm having trouble describing it but in my mind the purpose of the first category is to communicate an idea (speech) whereas the purpose of the second is to enact a reality (tools). A program doesn't express something specifically human any more than a toroid, or the wave equation, or a chemical bond, but a poem about love certainly does.
Probably a lot more than 600 in the Vancouver area if you consider that a good chunk of Shopify's 1000 laid off were in Vancouver, not to mention all the other layoffs with Vancouver offices (Coinbase and Meta had Vancouver presences off the top of my head).

Regardless, I don't think there is any shortage of demand for software engineers in Vancouver/Canada... if anything I'm under the impression that Canadian companies basically weren't able to hire for ~1 year as the drought of talent from U.S. employers had them reaching across the border.

I think average salaries may go down a bit, but I don't expect decent devs with some experience to have a hard time getting employed (at least not at this point in the recession)
> It's cleary Apple nerfing the video to make it look bad.

The site itself contradicts that claim. From the FAQ (emphasis added):

> When people with iPhones and Android phones text each other, Apple relies on SMS and MMS, outdated systems that cannot support large media files. That means photos and videos are often compressed and come through blurry. The severity varies by location and carrier based on compression and size limits.

We used to have pre-paid plans like that in the US, but they've fallen out of favor in the last 10-15 years. They were complicated to use, and very expensive: many MVNOs had rules such has having at least one top-up a month to keep the line active, and money used to top-up had time limits before they'd expire.

Now pre-paid is often just paying for a month before usage rather than after usage. Even cheaper providers like Mint sign you up for 3 months at once, which can get expensive if all you want it for is just satisfying Twitter.
For a modern nation to function requires the efficient deployment of capital and technology. That is what ultimately drives up the quality of life, makes people happy and prosperous. It doesn't even require democracy in the political sense.

Incompetence and corruption are likely the enemies of such progress that are incredibly hard to root out. A lack of competition in politics is also a problem. Sure, the current mega party sucks, but who's going to do better?
I will agree that one of the few places that the imperial system is hands down better than metric is that on the highway it's roughly 1 mile per minute. That and it's just barely possible to run a mile in under 4 minutes, so makes for a nice clean time barrier. But these are just coincidences and are the exception not the rule
There is some wisdom to what you say. I've experienced some Java apps that basically enter an exception/logging loop, quickly filling the system with gigs of logs full of 100 line stack traces. Eventually someone is alerted and has to clear the logs and kill -9 the app.
Also, you can't really use Twitter with just an email. Sooner or later, anti-bot misidentifies you, locks you out, and asks you to "verify" by entering a phone number.

I mean, "make the fastest CPUs and GPUs and charge a premium" would be a great strategy if they could deliver. But in a world where they're struggling to keep up on the CPU side, pouring resources into GPUs could lose them both markets.
These comments are a firestorm. It would be nice for apple to adobt the rcs standard, would benefit native communications.
