> That might be a temporary technical issue,

It's temporary technical issue if Apple were to support RCS; otherwise, it is a long term issue. It is due SMS limits. This is why Google is trying to pressure Apple into supporting RCS. Apple certainly won't loosen control of iMessage.

> I presume adults would just call each other

We are talking about a large group chat. Easily 15+ people. Calling is not really an option for replying there.

> switch to Whatsapp

Not going to happen. We are talking about people who only recently became comfortable with messaging. Trying to throw them into a new application would take too long and cause too much frustration. The better answer is for Apple to support RCS.

Which, to be clear, the claim that a standard component is actually unsafe is absurd.

Go look at the road bikes people are out riding on a Saturday morning. At least half of them will be disc brakes with quick release skewers. And these are bikes that people are putting thousands of miles on and ripping down mountain descents.

I don't have any information on this bike in particular, but that setup is common and widely used.
That's very interesting re Hetzner. When I signed up Hetzner about two weeks ago, I wasn't asked for any kind of ID, in fact I was quite surprised how little friction there was. Experience hasn't been good though, so you haven't missed out on much. Downtime and connectivity issues have meant hours of time wasted on an issue that wasn't even at our end.

I don't believe that what Mudge is saying there is all that well quoted or explained. The argument I've heard him make, in other settings, is that companies that are interesting enough will get job applicants that are really moles for intelligence agencies. This is very difficult to stop, and once your company has enough employees, downright impossible. His recommendation however is not to make it impossible for people with ties to foreign agencies to join the company. Instead, it's to minimize the access than any individual mole might have. This would also apply if you consider US intelligence an attacker!

TLDR; Someone like Twitter, Google or Facebook should have 'some of our employees are malicious and sophisticated' as part of their threat model.

Have you game-day-ed various failures? How long does it take you to restore everything from backup? What order do you bring your systems up?

What level of monitoring do you have on your systems? Can you spot unusual activity? How quickly?

What sorts of firewalls? Say "system X" is compromised. How far could damage spread from there?

> Yet it's not putting the cart before the horse to jump to seeking an ADHD diagnosis?

No. It's not.

There is a huge difference between seeking a diagnosis, and seeking a positive diagnosis. None of us here recommended OP just walk to a psychiatrist and say, "I have ADHD, now give me meds." No one told OP to lie about their symptoms to coerce their doctor into giving them meds.

> And it is over-diagnosed

That is absolutely not true. In fact, the opposite is true for adults. ADHD is a lifelong disorder, yet the overwhelming majority of diagnosed people are children. It's expected that most adults who have ADHD have not been diagnosed.

> and stimulants are overprescribed.

Some people who do not have ADHD are mistakenly diagnosed. Some who do have ADHD are mistakenly undiagnosed. Many who are correctly diagnosed do not have stimulant medication available to them, despite it being the first line of treatment, all because there is so much fear and stygma about them. It's a complicated situation involving millions of people that won't be solved by OP avoiding a diagnosis.

The fact that mistakes happen isn't a good enough reason to just avoid diagnosis and treatment all together. There is a significant chance that OP has ADHD, and if that is the case, they need treatment for it.

> Of course stimulants will work, it's basically just speed. You can give them to anyone and they'll feel great.

There's a reason that coffee and tea are the most popular drinks in the world: caffeine. It turns out that everyone can benefit from a small dose of stimulants. Those with ADHD see a much greater benefit because we reuptake dopamine too quickly.

Having too much of a stimulant, on the other hand, can be harmful and lead to a substance abuse disorder. Thankfully, some formulations - like the prodrug Vivanse - cannot be abused.

> There's a reason overachieving students buy them off the street for exams.

And no one is recommending OP do that. Yet here you are equating a diagnostic visit with a psychiatrist with buying drugs from the black market!

You distrust the diagnostic ability of trained physicians, yet you take prescribed medication yourself! Are you the only one allowed to benefit from Ann ADHD diagnosis? No. OP deserves the very same opportunity.
Thanks for the recommendation. It is nice to see. I have read both of the novels myself, as well as at least one of the Penumbra novellas (it's been a while). I really enjoyed the Penumbra stuff; I have to admit I remember feeling slightly unsatisfied with the conclusion but I was definitely hooked and kept turning the pages and it was the first time I had seen a fictional book refer to Ruby programming. I really enjoyed his characters. I recall enjoying Sourdough as well, perhaps not as much as Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore, but that was an absolute pageturner for me so it's hard to compete with.

I see this kind of pushback from engineers quite often when advocating for privacy first technologies. I think this comment is a good example of the sort of reflexive dismissal many developers have to changing how they work, from being asked to move a bit away from the dominant paradigm of the last 20-30 years (cleartext private data on servers).

1. The idea that it’s impractical to download the data. We are talking about searching text notes. 10gb? That’s nearly 7 million pages of notes. Doesn’t seem a reasonable figure. Even hundreds of megs of text would require a lot of time to acquire and even that would rarely need to be downloaded in one go (new device).

2. The idea that tech that tends to live on the server is somehow magical. Search would take “a few seconds” on a “slow” phone processor you say. Phone professors are incredibly fast these days, but in any case, since when is text search slow? I feel like many developers treat text search as a scary magical black box but it’s rather straightforward. Read about inverted indexes and consider that the servers of the mid 90s were serving at least tens of thousands of text searchers apiece with processors probably slower than what’s in your phone. There are libraries you can use locally to make text search pretty trivial. Apple supports text search (spotlight) across the data and apps on your phone. It’s not rocket science.

3. The idea that anything other than conceptually perfect encryption is useless. “first-party end-to-end encryption is snake oil” - assuming you mean crypto where the user does not handle the keys directly and a first party causes them to be generated, first party e2ee describes some of the biggest privacy wins of the last 15 years - iMessage, FaceTime, Signal, WhatsApp.
This looks really great. However, I can't find examples of how to handle scraping behind a login or a paywall, without having to 'type' credentials every time.
I don't agree that having a CSAM detection algorithm running in your messaging client is a violation of privacy.

If it detects something and alerts the relevant authorities, there will then be a proportional reduction of privacy while they investigate, but this is true of any criminal investigation.

Doing it this way strikes a reasonable balance. Other alternatives include doing nothing at all, or sending a copy of all private communications to a third party - neither of which are desirable.

> variable length instructions have their advantages as well, such as code density

Variable length instructions in general do have a code density advantage, but x86 is a particularly poor example. For historical reasons, it wastes short encodings with rarely used things like BCD adjustment instructions, and on 64 bits often requires an extra prefix byte. The RISC-V developers did a size comparison when designing their own compressed ISA, and the variable-length x86-64 used more space than the fixed-length 64-bit ARM; for 32 bits, ARM's variable-length Thumb2 was the winner (see page 14 of https://riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/riscv-compresse...).

GDB has some pretty good Python scripting: https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Python-API.html#Py...

That should get you somewhere useful for time travel systems based on GDB. You can also use Guile if you'd prefer a Lisp - https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Guile-API.html

Depending on your debugger of choice there are other options - e.g. WinDbg (which has time travel debug) can, I think, be scripted with JS.
> over a typically 6-11 year timeframe

The dates there are just when the street view photos were taken. All of those smaller apartment buildings can be built in under a year, and 1-3 years for a highrise.
Yeah.

Especially if they are being implemented by commercial banks. (The other obvious alternatives are accounts with the central bank, or some form of distributed crypto style setup, where normal banks just act like the exchange, and probably run the mining/staking nodes).

Would they just be bank accounts where you can only access fully settled funds, that probably lack many normal bank features (like atm or debit cards), an affiliated transfer mechansim that instantly settles but is irreversable? (In order to properly simulate cash?)

After all, if it offers reversible payments that settle with a delay, then that is no better doing ACH transfers with a normal bank account, and banks would refuse to offer service to people with extremely poor credit (just as they do now).

If the payments are instant and without recourse, then the system is just as risky for the user as actual cash, and probably even more so, as people cant "hack in" from the other side of the planet to take the paper money out of your leather wallet. Even if implemented with say digital signatures held on your mobile device, with all transfers needing to be signed with such certs, surely this would just result in phone malware being developed to steal the keys, (or if an HSM is used, malware that imitates the normal app, but signs transactions stealing your funds instead).

Would there be transfer fees for this digital cash? If so, then that makes it less appealing for users. If not, then who is paying the costs for the infrastructure?

In any scenario, I would expect the likes of PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, Mastercard, Visa, etc to be opposed to this system, unless one of them is actually administering it, since whatever it is will likely meaningfully eat into their transaction volumes, and thus profits.
The larger wheel definitely handles challenges better than a OneWheel, it's one of the "known advantages" of EUCs. That being said, the advantage only applies in the forwards/backwards axis. Ruts and hitting things from the side may challenge and newbie. Many EUCs have shock absorbers.

Upfront cost, maintenance costs and access to non-motorized paths and parking are the big advantages to ebikes over emotos for the average commuter case.

Where I’m at my 10 mile commute on a bike path is both faster and safer than via car or emoto.

Emotorcycles also (usually & rightly) require higher levels of certification to ride because they are more dangerous to the riders and other road users.

Yes, I agree in general.

However when I was taking a $300k+ CAD comp package at Google for a (relatively low ladder) SWE position, it was really hard for me to sympathize with people griping about anybody being overpaid in the public service.

Pricing irrationality is one of the usual critiques that libertarian types have against state-run anything. Thing is that the US health care market also exhibits similar distortions. I think it's a constant struggle.

I think the Canadian system (and probably UK NHS) is due for major reform. I just do not trust the people in power to make the right kind of reforms. Again, foxes and henhouses.
If we're willing to accept higher labor intensiveness, there's plenty of very realistic farming techniques that could be reintroduced. For example:

- Off-season cover crops like legumes, etc both can fix nitrogen and out-compete weeds.

- Intercropping, where different crops are planted in proximity (like alternating rows). This is less susceptible to pests and disease than monocultures, and the plants can be chosen to mutually enhance each other's fitness.

In general, a lot of these techniques also give a healthier ecosystem, with more pollinators and predators of pests. The yields can be excellent and sustainable, but it is more labor. However, there's plenty of bullshit jobs[0] out there, and many people in them might find this kind of work more meaningful. I think a future society would do well to allocate labor with these goals in mind.

Putting aside micro-design trends that come and go per decade given this has been happening for longer than just for one or two, my bet's on:

a) corporations skewing towards multi-use capabilities (your camera is not just your camera, it's a phone, mobile computer, app machine, and camera all at once) and

b) corporations trying to capture the maximum amount of dollars (said more uncharitably: cater to the lowest common denominator).

They had already plateaued in 2014/2015 with Haswell/Broadwell. They've basically been releasing that same CPU with minor tweaks to power consumption and codec support for 8 years now.

At the time, it was hard to notice, but reviews at the time absolutely noticed the minor CPU update (https://www.theverge.com/2015/4/9/8375735/apple-macbook-pro-..., search "Broadwell"). Another funny aspect of that review: it mentions out 10+ hour battery life for the MBP as a nice, but hardly astonishing spec. 9 hours 45 minutes with Chrome was the worst case. It's amazing to think how bad the 2016-2019 MBPs were in comparison, to the point where getting back to 10 hour battery is an amazing Apple Silicon feature!

I'm sure this is part of the deal with considered corp-speak, as in the stuff that ends up in formal documents. But honestly a big chunk of it is just the sort of specialized jargon that always develops in a specialized industry. It's not like doctors or plumbers or anyone else don't end up with little idiomatic expressions like this after a while. It's just that we all somewhat resent office work for being bullshit so we resent the signifiers associated with it. It's "cool" to not be corporate, so corporate behaviors become cringey.

Also, a lot of the surrender to it I think just happens because people are tired and not always paying close attention so when they're put on the spot in meetings to respond it's much easier to just spit out some vague but related sounding jargon salad than to actually make an incisive point.
