> You can't use a volatile cache ...

I really don't think I've misused the cache! I didn't use SQLite because ordinary admins need to be able to inspect and occasionally fix the database. That decision can be revisited down the line.

> Companies don't want to host heir own email servers

TMTP is more like HTTP than SMTP. There must be many ways to host a service, just like a website. Any admin must be able to bring up a TMTP server. (It's nothing like getting a new MTA host to work with the SMTP network!)

I discuss the E2EE issue on the mnm website FAQ. Only certain kinds of TMTP sites will want it to be the default. If a consumer tech brand offers an online TMTP client, it would present a proprietary API to the browser, as Gmail does; TMTP can't protect those messages.

Client sync is implemented already \o/ - that's the replicas feature.
It already has simple, user-defined groups. Admin-defined groups is on the roadmap; need user input to chart a course here.
I've implemented OpenID Connect auth for new account registration. It could also be required per login, if there's demand.
JMAP offers a model for how to do non-persistent connections on mobile devices.
The demo is just the browser-based UI to the client, reconfigured to use canned data. (The client is a localhost web app.)

And, hey, can't a protocol can be a work in progress? I'm only willing to spec what I am ready to implement!
It's pretty regional. Southerners tend to use "chili" for both the pepper and the dish in my experience, while southwesterners almost exclusively use "chile" for the pepper and "chili" for the dish. I've only seen Brits/indians use "chilly/chilli" (two ll's).

> but the diagrams don't say what those other lines were for, so if anyone knows...

Telephones. Telephones are why. Those other two pairs were often used for voice communication. If you had four-pair station cabling, the pairs were provisioned on the modular jack from the inside out. So line one was the blue/blue-white pair on the inner pins, line two was the orange/orange-white pair on the next two pins, and so on.

Ethernet comes along and lots of places where you'd want a network connection already had a phone jack with two pairs unused, so for signal integrity reasons those are moved to the outside and used for data, leaving the inner two pairs where they were to be used for voice.

But why 4 pairs in the first place?

Just about the time that Ethernet was transitioning from coax to twisted pair, the digital PBX was taking over from key systems (1A2) and reduced the number of wires required for a business telephone from 25 pairs (or more ... secretarial sets often had 100 or more pairs) per station down to 4 (for HORIZON[0]) and later two pairs (DIMENSION and eventually Merlin, Definity, etc.). So if you're wiring a new building, you can just run one CAT-3[1] cable to each desk and use the first two pairs for voice and the second two for data[2].

[0] OK, for the pedants out there, HORIZON wasn't ever very popular and really pre-dated Ethernet, but the telecom world moves kinda slow
[1] Wasn't really CAT-3 until the early 90s
[2] Not on the same jack, but by using pins 1, 2, 7, and 8 for data, you can plug the wrong cable in without risk of hurting the phone or your computer's network card
I think this may be a mischaracterization. Germany believed that, knows really, that it is richer economically and has a tech gap thanks to NATO over them.

Germanys stance was that Russia will piss and moan as it’s elite slowly lose their autocratic regime to a Republican one (similar to South Korea and Taiwan.)

I’m not convinced this has changed and it is my opinion that German policy is a pretty obvious open secret that Ukraine and Russia is there problem.

You can see this in their reaction to the invasion where they stalled with hold off rhetoric because they couldn’t believe we’re taking this seriously.

So it wasn’t ignorance that Russia would bully the two smaller “Russians” it was a calculated risk and an accepted cost of doing business.

I feel like GM has had a pretty good mix in recent Volt and Bolt vehicles. There are physical buttons for the HVAC controls and volume/mute. The radio controls and settings are on a largish touchscreen. The most you really need while driving might be to hit one of the large preset for stations. the rest of the things you do with the touchscreen are settings that you do while the car is stationary. the steering wheel & stalks have physical controls for volume, cruise control, manual regen, turn signals, wipes.
It is a lot easier to get a court order for something than you probably think. Dragnet versions of court orders also exist, such as geofence warrants. Also, that data is often sold packaged up and sold to third parties via data brokers. The FBI has been known to buy data from data brokers instead of getting it by court order.

While differences do currently exist, China is increasingly similar to the west in many ways (source: lived here on and off 20 years, also lived AU/UK/US). One of the main differences is entrenched centralized political control not subject to electoral terms, although that comes with really significant downsides it also creates a truly impressive potential for rapid change on critical issues (eg. environment). The disconnected peoples are effectively systemically marginalized and increasingly irrelevant as "societies". They will likely suffer from climate change, sea level change and other coming catastrophes more than the global society. I see only one path forward, a hegemony of global capitalism unbound by political will and environmental destruction. One of the few avenues for potential resolution is private sector mitigating technology development. If only people would stop going to work for FAANG and selling ads.
You can combine two photos outside the camera, pretty easily.
You are right about solar panels being built in China, but windmill components are usually built in local factories, because they are very hard to transport.

You might call the dominance of the Chinese solar manufacturers a national security risk, but as long as we have the knowledge and resources to theoretically build them in the West (albeit more expensively), they are easier to replace than for example Saudi-Arabian oil or Russian natural gas.
"even the rich don't really have sufficient surplus to help more than a few people"

This wildly underestimates how rich some people are in the US. For example, just 5% of the wealth from only the 20 wealthiest Americans would cover all federal, state and local funding for housing support in a year.

It doesn't actually require the ABS (anti-lock braking system), but uses the ABS wheel speed sensors to count wheel rotations, so it's essentially a free way to add TPMS, no additional hardware required since ABS is already required, just need software to track wheel rotations.

Disgusting behavior. IMHO, the second action by Google is even worse than the first.

Some busy body at google acting as morality police over what they see as "problematic" behavior.

1) The antitrust hearings are literally dog and pony shows. Nothing has come of them, except slightly increased lobbying spending by Google and Amazon.

2) Other people give it to them, not just you. I tried for years to keep my face off Facebook, and finally made a page to take control of my "shadow profile" because people kept putting it there. Companies often give it to them too, through data brokers.

3) Google's ad auction technology will make authoritarian government much more efficient, the same way IBM's census technology did in the 1930's and 1940's.

> The trouble is that all these pollution speech are always about disasters, they give no hope for future generations. This is the main issue in my opinion, there is no dream to look forward at the moment. Where are the dreams about flying cars and great cities? Robots serving us while we spend our lives at the beach?

Good dreams don't sell, but bad dreams do. I just finished watching a series with slum people living in slums where the air and the water is toxic. It was a huge Netflix success among a young cohort. I admired all the innovation and art that went into the visuals, but the story was cookie-cutter-forced-tragedy.

I just hope we don't end up in the dystopia we are painting in so many colors at each step.
You have to consider that everything you have on any platform can be taken away at any time for whatever reason and there is nothing you can do about it.

With that in mind you can decide if the convenience is worth the risk of losing it all. For some things it will be but not for others. You should ensure that everything you cannot afford to lose has at least one backup that you fully control.

> No need to violate the first law (which is irrelevant)

That's preposterous. Of course it is relevant. Nothing on this planet can happen without answering to the accounting it demands.

I've seen arguments posted such as "the earth has unlimited access to solar energy". This is usually followed by a hand-wavy "and then a miracle occurs" type statement that solves climate change in thirty years.

Nobody --ever-- bothers to explain how, in no particular order:

1- We convert solar energy from from photons to something else without converting, say, 80% of it into heat (solar panels). That is brutally basic conservation of energy.

That doesn't even account for the energy required to make, ship, install and maintain solar panels.

2- How it is that we REMOVE all of that energy we are going to use to save the planet from being utilized by system A to put it to work in system B and not kill all life on earth in the process. We don't get EXTRA solar energy. All life on earth has evolved and functions under this mostly constant beam of photons that hits us every day. You can't muck with that at a planetary scale without consequences.

Simple example: Cover all ecuatorial land with solar panels. Fantastic. Everything under them dies. Not so great. That energy, hitting plants, land, water, etc, was actually doing something for the planet. It isn't some magical thing that has no purpose until we decide to save the planet.

3- How we are going to violate fundamental realities of efficiency (more like inefficiency) in everything we do.

To do ANYTHING you need energy, time and resources (materials). Most of the processes being touted as solutions are horribly inefficient. This means most of the energy --no matter where it might come from-- will be wasted as heat. No material or resource is used with 100% efficiency either.

Everyone conveniently ignores reality when suggesting magical PLANETARY SCALE "solutions". What does "planetary scale" mean? It means more energy materials than one could possibly imagine. It also means manufacturing, moving, installing and maintaining things at a never-before-seen rate and scale. It means producing things OVER AND ABOVE ANYTHING HUMANITY MAKES TODAY at a rate and at a volume that might equal or dwarf the entire industrial output of the planet today. Everyone ignores the --likely-- billions of gallons of bunker fuel, diesel and gasoline we will have to burn just to make, move, install, operate and maintain these magical solutions.

It's easy to think-up magical solutions that sound great. It is impossible to build them if they don't pass basic physics.

There's a simple reason for which none of these things are being done outside of politician's imaginations or laboratories living off grants to conduct research that feeds said politicians so grant money keeps rolling in:

They don't survive the test of deployment at scale because none of them pass physics. Not one. They can't.

If we're looking for a founding mistake, it's probably the British (and French) betraying the Hashemite king [1][2][3], thereby permitting Wahhabism to take hold. That and the absence of a Marshall Plan for the post-WWII de-colonised world.

> every country plays this game, and they all play it dirty

The Mujahideen plotted attacks on Soviet military targets in Afghanistan. They're analogous to the Taliban post invasion. To my knowledge, the U.S. wasn't knowingly supporting terrorism in e.g. Moscow the way the ISI has supported militants striking Bombay.

This reminds me, it's Chile season in New Mexico right now!

Every year we get 2 boxes and have them roasted, then clean and freeze them. Towards the end of the year the stash gets a little low and have to start rationing.

The boxes are big, but much smaller after roasting. They then put the roasted chiles in plastic bags so you can carry them home. You then have to wait a few hours to peel and de-seed the chiles because they are so hot from roasting.

It's a tradition here and many people from all walks of life are out buying roasted chiles from now until the frost.
Nah, it's probably not slight wheelspin because that would be a normal case that's handled by traction control. It wouldn't make sense for the system to both control wheelspin with traction control AND report it as a low tire pressure condition. Presumably the TPMS alert would be triggered by a longer term rotational difference. It happens for all kinds of reasons (eg, going into colder temps).
> GMT and UTC are the same timezone.

I got one for OP, too: UTC is not a timezone in the first place [1].

> UTC is not a time zone, but a time standard that is the basis for civil time and time zones worldwide. This means that no country or territory officially uses UTC as a local time.

The difference is subtle, but a standard is not subject to government whims while a timezone is.

I think the problem here is that the Germans would rather have war in Eastern Europe (people of which they probably don't consider important) than more expensive heating.

I had a similar experience (S20) and one of things I wished I did more of during the batch was to connect with more people, not for the sake of selling something but to just meet people from all over the globe. I'm working on a new idea now and most likely will apply for YC again as well.
Aside from a few Apple TVs I don't know many people who do that, especially not Roku which I presume is some American thing, but I know a lot of people who use the apps on their Smart TV. The rest are hooking up the TV to their computer. I also know a lot of people (me included) who wants a 4K TV just to watch Netflix in 4K so I don't think that's generally true. Don't know anyone who uses Blu-ray.

The elections you refer to had PTI winning 46% of the vote, while PMLN won 39% of the vote. This is far too small a difference to be characterized as a landslide, even if this difference resulted in a 15-5 seat split, given that the winning party has less than 50% of the votes.

Generally the cars that have direct TPMS with sensors in each wheel report pressures (and also throw a warning when one is low) whereas the indirect systems that infer it from rotational speed only throw the warning and give you no more information (eg, which tire is low).

My wife's 2008 Subaru Impreza had the worst of both worlds -- the cost of direct TPMS and no more information than the idiot light.

Not really a hypothesis that the British lumped unrelated and rival ethnicities in Africa together for a magnitude of reasons. Most of these were geopolitical to the interests of the metropole and almost none of these border decisions were (initially at least) designed to accurately represent cultural and ethnic identities the way America was colonized for example or the way Europe was shaped by feudalism and war.

That’s the “they weren’t being actively malicious end” with the nation this thread is discussing having been the go to example of this being done. Pakistan only exists to be a thorn in Indias side
One of the hardest programs you could ever have to write would be historical times taking into account all the time zone and Daylight Savings Time changes over the years. It might be impossible. Just look at Indiana's history with time zones and DST.
How could they? The big draw of cable TV was rebroadcasting network OTA channels that had commercials. They then added superstations.

If you look at the earliest basic cable channels, they also had commercials from day one.

They're not unrelated, there's both the exact opposite bet on the same issue: should the west take Russia at face value?

Saying "Germany needs to look after it's energy independence" is synonym with "the west cant trust Russia", and saying "I'm taking the USA out of NATO" is synonym with "the west can trust Russia".

So he just claimed two opposite views and his fan it's pick and choose.
Well, we put Georgia on a NATO membership action plan after years of meddling in their politics and that triggered the invasion in 2008.

Ukraine isnt the first time this happened. It's just this time stirring up ethnic conflict along Russia's border is causing us to really suffer.
I came up with this format 10 years ago to document running our regression test. It was a complicated process (for reasons) and I had four major sections---one outlining items to do once, such as:

[ ] Check you can log into Jenkins
[ ] Check you have an account on lab1
[ ] SSH into account on lab1
[ ] "mkdir bin"
[ ] "mkdir conf"
[ ] "mkdir var"
[ ] In shell configuration file, export following
[ ] export FOOBAR=...
[ ] export PATH=$PATH:$FOOBAR/bin:$FOOBAR/install
[ ] export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$FOOBAR/lib64b:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[ ] Ensure you can run "sudo -u root foo"
[ ] Ensure you can run "sudo -u nobody bar"
[ ] Check you have an account on lab 2
[ ] SSH into account on lab2
[ ] ...

A second section outlining the steps needed to prepare to run the regression test. The third section was actually running the regression test, and the final section about shutting down the regression test. This list was then checked into our repository and any new hires were given this check list to do (and update it for any steps not clear or not specified---such updates happened a few times).

When I came up with this system, I didn't know about ORG mode. Nor did I expect anyone to use a tool other than a text editor with this. Heck, a person could print this out and use a pen to mark items off the list.
