FWIW, most monthly contract plans in the UK have unlimited calls & SMS. The main differentiator is the size of the data cap. There are charges for MMS etc though.

Even the cheapest of plans from the main networks (3, vodafone, EE, o2) - as low as £4/mo have unlimited calls & SMS now.

edit: this has been the case for quite a few years now, too.
Do they just scrap the cars they trade in? Isn't that a huge waste of material or do they re-use much of it? Is the benefit from taking a car off the streets greater than the pollution caused by throwing away a large amount of plastic/metal/toxic stuff?
There are services that offer bots that increases your listening count on Spotify. People with dirty money create a bunch of artists and songs on Spotify, and use the services to increase the listening count. Spotify pay out royalties based on those numbers. So they pay the service with dirty money, and get clean money from Spotify

> In the end, trust is Still Required™

This entire section is FUD. Trust is "Still Required™" - unfortunately HN doesn't support underlines so I can't get accross the full obnoxiousness of the original formatting - therefore having your data in someone elses database is no worse then using an app that someone might add a backdoor to?
It tries to be, but in practice as I say you mostly just end up with the worst of both worlds, because of perverse incentives (the software provider wants to charge a monthly figure and doesn’t want their server to be fungible).

Anyway, it’s still much more commonly a limitation than an advantage. Perhaps the most obvious example: I want to be able to search through 10GB of emails without needing to download them all (or a not-much-lighter index), because downloading it takes a long time, costs a fair bit (traffic isn’t generally), and requires that I have that much spare space on whatever device I’m using at the time.

The fact of the matter is that E2EE in all its forms is consistently inconvenient—and double racheting makes it even worse than earlier non-key-cycling techniques. In some situations it may be worth the inconvenience, but I wish there was more acknowledgement of the fact that it’s seriously not the ideal goal, and I wish the innovation would head in the direction of proper and deliberately thorough decentralisation instead, because if you run your own server, you don’t need E2EE: its purpose disappears completely, leaving only the inconvenience. (Reduce it instead to just encryption at rest and transport encryption, which are still useful and entirely sufficient.)

Glad we can agree it's proprietary.

So the question is if Google was willing to deviate from the standard for encryption what else will they do in the future.
I don't think it's being framed as an XOR situation. I think the article is trying to say that RCS is a shit standard (it is) and that Apple shouldn't adopt it because that would essentially solidify it as the replacement for SMS. Apple and Google should come together and make something better.
It does it relatively OK with the daily mixes, but daily drive and top of the year don't. That's why I don't really get it, they already know fairly well what kids music is so let me just toggle it off?

> Straightforward grants that do not hinge on scrapping a motor vehicle have also been raised from €200 to €300 and up to €300 for lower income households and people with disabilities.

Emphasis on "lower income", the cap is 13k euros per year, which is under the annual min wage if you work full time. If you earn above that you get nothing at all

Also, all the options (lump sums and trade-ins) are capped to 40% of the price of the bike. So you'd have to trade your car for a 6000+ euros electric bike to get the full 3000 euros

Yes, you do need Apple hardware to use iMessage. But as your quote states, there are no other monthly fees associated with it. You don't need a cellular plan, or indeed even a device with cellular connectivity at all. And you can still send/receive iMessages the same as anyone else.
No they didn’t.

More people voted against the conservatives than voted for them, but due to the first past the post system they got a massive majority in Parliament and can do whatever they want.
Funfact: The only spam I got was by my phone operator (Magenta / T-Mobile Austria, the same guys that save passwords in plaintext). Never by someone else though, but im wary where I publish the number.
I think it is time to go a bit Meta here, bit I start to subspect that many HN posts are to influence such things, including popular replies to @pmarca etc... when one says Netflix falls because it is not a tech company, the next day at HN comes an article saying how cool and techie it is, etc.

The reach of HN on the tech world is highly influential, and for sure it is weaponized in "communication wars" across actors with different interests.

EDIT: that doesn't mean that the given information is necessarily false, it is just presented at the right time, to promote one view of the world. Also when Twitter hit bottom some years ago several HN submissions remind us how they declined being purchased by Facebook etc, and social network giants have a large track of understanding how such information flows and influences people.
>But as it is nobody outside the Apple ecosystem is even considering it.

You'd be surprised. There are communities using Swift on Linux and elsewhere...
I get the feeling that it is highly subjective how widely adopted people seem to believe these are. It would be interesting to see some actual research on this.
While many may have a whole bunch of those apps installed it says nothing about their actual usage.

My own personal view (Denmark based, age: mid thirties):
In my group of extended friends and family almost everyone uses SMS/iMessage.
SMS has been (basically) free to use here for many many years (or so many included in your basic plan you would never reach the limit). I believe this has slowed the adoption of the various chat apps here significantly - at least for people my age. Most of my friends share the same habit of calling each other if you want to know something that is time sensitive. If you don't need an answer right away you can text.

New acquaintances are first added on Facebook/Messenger since you can find people by their name and then if you actually communicate with them on a regular basis you eventually get their phone number to make it easier if you for example need to call them. Almost nobody I know use Messenger's voice calls.
My family (and some friends) has resorted to sending SnapChat images instead. Sharing something without it ending up in a "permanent" chat history seems to be getting more common as it is somewhat informal.
I never watch people's "stories/reels" in whatever format they might take as they are not sent directly to me and they seem to expire after a short while. I hate that pressure to constantly check in not to miss anything so now I ignore it completely and I'm happier for it.
If anything I have a lot more to talk about with people when I finally meet them than if I already knew everything they had been doing.

I have a few WhatsApp groups going with my international friends and various local volunteer-based organizations.

> But that's not a function of the language itself.

It is tho, SQL is a declarative language, so the execution model is largely opaque, by language design.

But even if it were solely an implementation detail, Closi would still be wrong: they literally stated that “it’s not any better” to try debugging a 100 lines python script than a 100 lines query.

> As it is, you often have to take the whole damn thing apart from the inside to see what's going on, then put it all back together again. That's... suboptimal, to say the least.

Which is the point? Sounds like you agree that it is significantly easier to debug a 100 lines python script than a 100 lines SQL query.

This one is worth a closer look for scheme / common lisp devs. It's really not the same thing.

Dynamically scoped, first class environments, fexpr instead of macros. A corollary of that feature set is interpreted, not compiled.

What we have as a result is simpler than scheme. The function/macro distinction is gone and the module system is first class environments. I haven't got as far as working out whether they've done away with phase separation.

It's then tied into a database which seems pretty weird to me but that could totally be my limitation.

Google Photos whole premise is that they analyze, categorize, scan, and classify the photos for you. They find similar faces, put your photos on the Maps timeline, etc.

If you don't want Google to do that, there's no point in using Google Photos. The entire benefit disappears.
Because taking any of those services into use requires you to take those services into use. RCS requires no action from the user. That's why. Before you ask a question, please spend 15 minutes thinking about the answer.
> I don't think the city is writing them off.

Maybe not officially, but the people certainly have given me the impression that they do.

> With a homeless population of 7,754 (according to [1]), that $600m works out to $77,379 per person.

I highly doubt most (let alone all) of that money is actually going toward the homeless people themselves, though (even indirectly, e.g. for healthcare). I'd best most of it, rather, goes toward bureaucratic overhead.

> The median income in San Francisco is $54,549.

And the median rent for even a studio (let alone anything better) is $27,000/year - i.e. $8,817 more than what's generally deemed affordable via the "one third of income" rule. Factor in all the other things more expensive in SF, it's no wonder why homelessness is so rampant when wages don't keep up with the cost of living.
So we (Apple brand fans) must adopt a garbage standard (RCS) just because the brand you're a fan of (Google/Android) created and adopted it?

RCS is crap and needs to die. Apple and Google should work together on a better standard.

I was wary about Google pushing AMP to "help the web", and I am equally wary about Google pushing RCS to "help people/messaging". Because Google.
And SMS is slowly but surely dying.

So why throw it a lifeline with RCS when there can be a better standard.

> I think this response actually illustrates my point quite nicely

Absolutely. From a surface-level read it may sound sensible but it all falls apart very easily.

The lines of reasoning for each attempted rebuttal are practically non sequiturs.

Out of curiosity, I’d be interested in seeing some attempts using prompts intended to induce CoT reasoning (“let’s think step-by-step“ etc.)
Migrating to the United States or Europe for these desperate souls seems the least risky option.

Sure the journey is difficult and you might die, but this isn’t worse than the alternative of starvation or enslavement in the place from which you flee.

The boat migrant is risking everything. But it’s a calculated risk and he doesn’t have much to lose anyway.

You’re confusing people who are naked in public in some special occasions with nudists. The tribes you speak of are not covered 100% of the time in public either.
It's important not to forget that certain Twitter users share incredibly sensitive data over Twitter, increasingly including nudity and sexual acts (sometimes on private profiles or in DMs, so they're not meant to be public).

While one may (not wrongly) think that this is a bad idea in general (unless you subscribe to post-privacy), I think it is our duty as a society to protect those who don't have a full grasp on the implications of bad IT security.

In my opinion, fines for cyber security violations should be swift and harsh (GDPR goes in the right direction in terms of how high the fines are, but it is barely enforced). From my POV that is the only thing that will force companies to actually invest in cybersecurity. Maybe there should even be a law mandating security reviews if you handle any PII.
>one or more current employees may be working for a foreign intelligence service.

I don't doubt this, but the source is someone with fairly deep ties to the US intelligence services. Why should he be allowed a job and not people with ties to foreign agencies?
(Not) Luckily the US healthcare system is already collapsing without social medicine, so it’s not a great talking point. Staffing and supply shortages paint a bleak picture over the next few years.

Your dentist example is a bit weird - you're comparing private provision with NHS provision, and that doesn't work. If you want a private dentist, or a private psychiatrist, you pay and get rapid access.

If you can't afford private treatment you go on the NHS. At the moment NHS dentistry is simply not available for very many people. Those people cannot get treatment at all. But for psychiatry, the vast majority of people who need a psychiatrist will get same day or next day access. This is one of the problems - that's a statutory function, they must provide it, and so community care has been cut in order to meet the statutory function.

> Because that's the current wait time for an NHS psychiatrist.

This is untrue in the way that you've presented it. I'm not able to find this statistic any where - what's your source for it please?

There are long waits for some community mental health services, but these are mostly caused by decades of underfunding of MH treatment. Also, your argument says that this problem would be fixed with competition. We've competition and right to choose for first episode of mental health care since 2014[1] and that competition has done nothing to improve things and in many situations has made things worse.

For Early Intervention in Psychosis services (these are services for people with their first episode of psychosis) the current numbers[2] are that 83% of people were seen within 2 weeks after referral.

The number of people in contact with specialist mental health services has increased[3] since 2019 from 1.3m to 1.6m people. This is combined with a decrease in bed numbers and a complex change from CCGs to ICSs. New referrals data is complicated (one person can have multiple new referrals; someone already in contact with services can have a new new referral) but the trend is increasing[3]. The number of young people accessing MH services has increased a lot over the past 12 months, from 575,000 in Mar 2021 to 690,000 in May 2022.

> Shipping an app without auto update in 2022 is a no go.

I don't agree with this at all. Shipping an OS with no auto-update mechanism for apps is a no-go. Applications don't need to re-implement such basic functionality.

Imagine if every single desktop application had to re-implement this. The burden on developers would be huge, applications would be enormous, and the system would be a mess to manage or use.

It would be very useful if this or some other library came with Captcha solvers or a way to add Captcha solvers to the scrapers. Even regular users get Captchas sometimes.
It depends on the car, in the short/mid term the least polluting vehicle is the one you already own. But I feel like people won't trade a newish (ie less polluting car) for a e bike. They probably will trade in shitboxes which barely pass inspection, in that case it probably is a good move.

That being said electric bikes aren't the greenest thing out there, I've heard people boast about being ecological because they bought an ebike to replace their regular bike, or bought an EV to replace public transport + bike, in both case it's a net negative pollution wise.

With child protection that isn't true. Social services will take your child away while they investigate.

I’ve lost count of how many times good sounding government programs turn out to be lame once you read the fine print.

I really can’t see many people fitting either of those categories, unless they were already going to get rid of their car. And I’m a big fan of e-bikes.

Most e-bikes cost around $2-3k so it’s basically a $1k subsidy where you pay the other $1k for a bike.
