I’ve seen this with telegram on iPhone. A few weeks ago I had a drastic argument with a female friend on telegram and immediately Instagram (meta) started showing me breakup memes and Rumi quotes. There were other recent examples. I don’t know what to make of it.
Keep in mind that it is borderline impossible to show iPhone photos in full fidelity in a web gallery. The benefit you get out of iDevices is the wide gamut and HDR photo format. Converted to sRGB SDR JPG images, there's not much difference compared to every other phone manufacturer.

This is my point: Apple is far above the lowest common denominator.
Without nationwide regulation to homogenize the network, it looks like it can be very perfectible (looking at the US).
It's amazing how cutting into corporate profits is now considered unethical. Educated people from first world countries wanting a living wage and benefits? How greedy of them. If there's one thing missing from every 10k it's how prosperous "everyone" is becoming.
It's not, but it's very good for writing system software. Modern C++ is also good, probably good enough for the majority of the cases, but Rust is there for you when you can't afford a GC and you must be absolutely right you're not introducing memory management errors.

By accessing the device. It is not only E2E encrypted, WhatsApp servers are only a middleman, as soon as they arrive (double-check) they will be deleted from the server. Undelivered messages are retained up to 30 days, according to their privacy policy:

<<Your Messages.

We do not retain your messages in the ordinary course of providing our Services to you. Instead, your messages are stored on your device and not typically stored on our servers. Once your messages are delivered, they are deleted from our servers. The following scenarios describe circumstances where we may store your messages in the course of delivering them:

Undelivered Messages. If a message cannot be delivered immediately (for example, if the recipient is offline), we keep it in encrypted form on our servers for up to 30 days as we try to deliver it. If a message is still undelivered after 30 days, we delete it.

Media Forwarding. When a user forwards media within a message, we store that media temporarily in encrypted form on our servers to aid in more efficient delivery of additional forwards.

We offer end-to-end encryption for our Services. End-to-end encryption means that your messages are encrypted to protect against us and third parties from reading them. Learn more about end-to-end encryption and how businesses communicate with you on WhatsApp.>>

> “I was asking him, ‘Is this all going to end up shaking out like radio?’” Snyder told me.

> In other words: a media business that mostly revolves around high-profile talking heads. Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern for radio; Joe Rogan, Alex Cooper, and the trio of Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes (who reportedly signed a deal with Amazon worth as much as $80 million) for podcasting.

I don't know how radio is in the US, but this description of radio would be completely wrong here in France. There are tons of high-quality programming, in-depth debates by experts in various fields (you get Nobel-prize winning physicians discussing with Nobel-prize winning economists about COVID for example), series of documentaries on single topics, hilarious shows... Many of my favorite podcasts are literal radio shows that get uploaded to spotify &co.
Google is passe now. It's all reddit.

Reddit even selected people from NATO for it's content role.

Their algorithm automatically pushes to front page anything that the US would like to focus on.
Then I was wooshed, thanks for clarifying.
Ubik ... Safe when taken as directed.
Hey if you really liked the vacuum cleaner you just bought, you definitely want to buy another one.
And since china seems able to manufacture 7nm chips, they won't need to buy x86_64/ARM tech, and if china goes risc-v, even if it is US based (berkley), it is worldwide IP "safe", and if successfull will enable A LOT of code reuse/sharing without compilers in the way and the planned obsolescence of computer languages.
Europe’s electricity market: the scam of the century?
Only if you prefer to program with someone breathing down your neck, with a 15min deadline, and often not being able to research stuff.

Otherwise I'd say programming interviews are more biased against people who like programming but hated closed-book tests in school where there is a single correct answer and never some "it depends...".
“I'd treat the 3.5 from UCF, Maryland and UNC as roughly the same, but think MIT probably was slightly harder to achieve.”

Are you sure about that? Private, prestigious institutions have a habit of grade inflation beyond those of the nation’s reputable state schools (although all of the schools have inflated grades compared to previous decades)

I would probably view an equal or higher GPA from a top tier state school as a better distinguisher than one from an Ivy.

That is the exact target the commute time "morning radio show" used to have, but the radio became too lame to listen to, so now there's podcasts capturing the same market.

Back when I had a commute, I found it a million times more relaxing to listen to anything OTHER than the technical stuff I was doing at work during my commute. Technical podcasts seemed to fit in pretty well at the gym or doing menial labor (yard work, etc)

Audiobooks about contemporary issues that should have been a podcast don't work well; same with podcasts about issues that should have been a permanent audiobook.
I don't actually believe there was anything technical there in the value prop for art over simply having a centralized organization attest to purchases.

My feeling is that the odds of anything useful coming out of this are small. After insane money and over a decade, nothing useful has resulted. Perhaps conditions will be right in another decade for something useful to emerge, but at this point it's all scams imo
In this regard, the truth is truly stranger than fiction.

(PS - yes, there are crazy religious zealots in Americas upper ranks.)
So in fact, you do want the same government to “keep social media in check” that in another story that was on the front page was the government encouraging social media to censor speech? Would you want that same government to force HN to allow political topics? Would it apply to religious organizations that set up a social media platform?

You said yourself it would be a “negative outcome”.

The state pushing this is the same state that tried to force companies not to speak about diversity. They literally named a law “Stop Woke”.
IMO the way to do it is to make certain tasks a bit more enjoyable.

I mainly listen to podcasts when cleaning, washing the dishes, doing the laundry or driving long distances.

Compared to the vapid nonsense coming from radio DJs, many podcasters are verifiable geniuses.
The AI Writer
The interesting twist to me is that waking up a phone and opening the Google Docs app is the same time length or a tad faster.

We haven't progressed in speed, but versatility is theough the roof compared to 10 ~ 20 years ago.
There are multiple possible lessons to take from this. On the one hand you could say that "aliasing is the issue, clearly things should not be just allowed to alias each other willy-nilly". Or on the other hand you could come away thinking "I always mistrusted optimizers! They are just too brittle and unpredictable! Placating them is a never ending treadmill. I'll manually vectorize key parts"
Local radio (especially AM?) has really gone to trash to the point that, if, hypothetically, people started broadcasting over-the-air pirate radio consisting of a curated list of back-to-back podcasts ... I would start sweeping the dial again.
This really deserves the "made with love" attribute. That guy is insane!!!
Nah bro you're wrong, I swear to god this is the last time we do that, we'll find a solution _in the future_ (maybe) /s
podcasting is radio.. but much easier to create your own pirate radio and have success, without having to join a big corporation or having to fit in the mainstream. Just watch the fight between CNN x Joe Rogan to see why podcasting is the real deal.
Seriously, back in radio times I could here something super interesting maybe once a month (if even that). Now, I have so many things that I can listen to that specifically interest me at any time that I don't even have time to catch up.
... but browsers are grotesquely and absurdely massive c++ coded software you have to compile with similar c++ coded compilers...

There is ample evidence pointing to the harm porn has on people and families.
The only iPod I ever owned I had to plug in to sync.

Cellular (and to a lesser degree WiFi) connectivity was a game changer for topical mobile content. The lack of same made things like the Palm Pilot far less useful than they would have otherwise been. For music, it didn't matter so much because people were mostly fine with having some 10s of GB of MP3s that they just updated from time to time.
I agree. But I'm old and pedantic for whom the word Radio means on-air broadcasting. I love podcasts and often think, wow, these would make awesome broadcasts. Unfortunately, in the UK at least, VHF FM is, in my opinion, commercial drivel. As is Medium Wave (AM) band - same few media companies playing super safe music and content to fill the gaps between ads. The BBC is closing down MW transmitters and syndicating content to the remaining ones (esp. in the evening) thus loosing local community programs and forcing listeners onto DAB or online.
Port explicitly specified in at least one URL. Was HTTP without a standard port back in '94?
Rooting for you guys. If anything this should cause some people to question the very educational structure they've set up. If people are attempting to evade homework it's because it isn't interesting to the student, which hints at a deeper problem that the school/teacher/entire school set-up and structure needs to address. They essentially need to throw out everything they've set up because they're operating it more like a police state/prison "Ooo let's CATCH the cheaters! Let's CATCH the plagiarists! That'll show them!"

Instead of saying "What are we doing that isn't capturing the students interest in these tasks? How can we connect this subject to the students most meaningful, important, and immediate concerns and goals? What concepts from this subject can we teach the student that'll help them achieve those salient goals?"

The creators of these companies seem less concerned with actual long-term meaningful learning and more concerned with playing policemen.

Educational institutions need to be way more student-driven and student-concerned, allowing the student to shape their journey, as opposed to turning out cogs for the system like military training.

Alternatives exist like behavior analysis's programmed instruction, but even that needs a radical upgrade or integration with AI.
It does use other parts like RedHat’s RESTEasy implementation of JAX-RS.
I should have realized that, thanks. After I posted that random thought I realized another which I think needed more time to flesh out but when I'm done would you like to read my report?
> Can you name something that is not damaging to someone?

Kind of a bad excuse to be honest. I do think the damage is exaggerated and at some point users are responsible for themselves and their media consumption and many are probably happy with that.

I don't use Facebook and in my county Whatsapp is sadly very widely spread and it is noticeable that people express concern about missing something if they don't install it.
I have a copy. I wouldn't say it's "too light" because there's nowhere else to easily get this type of information, especially not all in one place. There's no "heavier" alternative. Most documentation doesn't include pictures, much less cross sections.
That's because the political arena is supposed to have limits. Those limits in America are clearly expressed in restrictions on the state's power, in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

If ordinary citizens and their duly elected representatives are all clambering to remove those limits during times of turmoil, we absolutely have a right to decry politics crossing a line it was never meant to cross.
Houston is hot, but wet bulb temperatures > 35 C (95 F) -- different from standard air temperature -- are a different story.

Afaik, for healthy humans, staying outside > 35 C (not 36 C) for even long durations is physiologically impossible. Even healthy humans have trouble from 31 C (87.8 F).

I don't have access to historic wet bulb data, but Houston appears to be in the mid-70s[1].

Places which have wet bulb temps > 35 C essentially shut down outside. You can use air conditioning indoors, but unless you have a Fremen-esque suit for outdoor workers, you can kiss outdoor activity goodbye in the daytime.

In reality this mean the place essentially shuts down during the day. E.g. in Pakistan last year[2]. Being interested in history, I'm particularly mindful many historians speculate that climate change was responsible for ending the earliest known civilization in this area[3].

Even on Canada (only a few hundred years in the new world), we have microfiche going back hundreds of years in many libraries.

Much has been digitized, I hope they kept the microfiche for longevity.
Yeah, gave me pause too. Maybe they mean ubiquitous like radio, mainstream like radio.
Let's take another example. E.g. if you have a progress bar for doing a set of 5 git operations you don't know whether the 3rd might start some housekeeping. For some tools (such as git) it might be possible to force this automatic housekeeping off in order to make a predicable progress bar. But in others it might not be. In some tools you may be able to predict if it will happen, and in others maybe not.

Another example (from the real world this time): I make a progress bar for an iterative optimization of an design in a program. The number of iterations until the design completes can't be reliably estimated. It's not completely underterministic of course, but the complexity of making that estimation isn't just high, it's likely to be so high that it approaches the complexity of the optimization itself.
The level of detail put into this project was an unexpected surprise, I've got a new bookmark after tuning it to a nice 3d blue color gradient!
You're right, China now has nets to catch their suicidal workers.

"Privileged" worker? The cult of the robber baron really has spread its wings. Not everyone is willing to talk themself out of a livable wage and benefits, but you do you.
> Fortify’s inclusion of Facebook’s Pixel isn’t just a privacy issue, it’s a security problem. While testing the app, we also noticed that the password to our account was sent in plaintext to Facebook in the URL of the tracking requests. Facebook claims to have filtering mechanisms to prevent its systems from storing this type of personal information, but Fortify’s apparent oversight is still concerning to experts like Galperin. “That’s a huge vulnerability,” she says. “It’s the sort of behavior that makes me feel like they don’t have security experts reviewing the app or its policies.”

> After being notified of the password issue, Olsen said Fortify would stop transmitting users’ unencrypted passwords to Facebook. As we went to press, the issue had not yet been addressed.

Oftentimes lost in these discussions (even in the posts here so far), is the fact that what is discussed is often done so under the implicit assumption that these tools are written perfectly. But a key consideration with regard to privacy is precisely that that is rarely the case. Even if you think these tools are hypothetically useful, you have to bake into the equation the relatively high probability that all this information will end up hacked and leaked to the public. Under those conditions I feel that it becomes pretty hard to defend these apps.
Sadly, I agree. It's a lot like C#'s quest against nullability: the feature was introduced too late into a stable design in a form that is obviously incomplete, tries too hard to maintain compatibility with existing code and fails.
For technical content, it looks like the burden of processing information was outsourced from people making content to people consuming content. Is it really scalable? Podcasting is one-to-many communication, so wouldn't it be more efficient if the 1 person who has something to say invested some time up-front to pre-process information to be more consumable for N people?

With all that said, I still listen to non-technical podcasts when I just want to get my mind occupied with random ramblings.
I mean you can snap your finger and throw 2+ trillion dollars to go fuck up the middle east.

Train tracks are much much much easier and cheaper to build than your planes and bombs, albeit less profitable
Shhh... This is a way to people to stop skipping training their calves.

It's funny how they call it a soleus pushup but this is the basic movement called seated calf raise.
On a playlist of about 27 thousand videos (me and my cohorts links to each other over ~8 years) I observe about 10% missing, its a lot!

Most of these are not information but amusing, random, short videos, and of course some of it is account deletions/disabling - copyright strikes - and people taking down their own stuff, but still, a lot!
Yea agree! Would you mind sharing the bookmark?
Yes, that is what I was trying to point out. With Yubikey or other 2FA devices you can not see the transaction details of what are you signing unless the device has a screen so a screenless device does not protect much more than this virtual yubikey.
I like that the "See Also" section links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corythoraptor

Indeed, cassowaries are the closest things to bipedal dinosaurs that we have.
I work on documentary style podcasting for one of the most respected and artsy podcast production companies in the world.

In my small country we have maybe 2-3 shows i respect right now, across radio and podcasting (i dont really differentiate). The rest is awful. And not to offend, but the stuff you listen to is most likely awful as well. In the sense that Godard (rip) is a whole lot better than Marvel movies. Both are necessary and valuable in many ways, but the tentpole audio productions are few and far between.

The reasons are obvious if you think about it: There is no (non-commercial) funding for great podcasting and there is no institutions that educate in this space and no one listens to and get inspired by the truly great and deep history of radio. No one knows what radio montage even means. Journalism, sure, The Daily is insanely well produced, but if you want "art" and great "storytelling", no dice.

And here's an inside scoop: The people producing the "awful" stuff as i dare call it, they don't understand. They are not trained like the greats in film or music have been trained, so they do not have ambition or capacity to make truly great radio.

I am speaking in bold and broad terms, but it is my conviction that most everyone is underestimating the format, even the ones on the inside.
Yes, radio has gone to shit in the U.S. as well.
That's amazing, I don't even care if its true.
> On March 1990 they published the document RFC1060 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1060) where they listed the well-known ports at that time. In that list there wasn't a protocol assigned to port 80. It went from 79 to 81:

79 FINGER Finger
81 HOSTS2-NS HOSTS2 Name Server

> So, at that time port 80 was officially free.

> In 1991 Tim Berners-Lee issued the first version of HTTP in a document about HTTP 0.9 (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/AsImplemented.html) where he stated:

>> If the port number is not specified, 80 is always assumed for HTTP.

> Then in July 1992 was published RFC 1340 that obsoletes RFC 1060 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1340) where appears:

finger 79/tcp Finger
finger 79/udp Finger
www 80/tcp World Wide Web HTTP
www 80/udp World Wide Web HTTP

> That document makes official the port 80 as www or http. [...]

From https://superuser.com/a/996843

So at 1994, 80 is pretty much the default, but sometimes it was specified anyways, just like some addresses you see around still prints/shows http:// / https://. Not everyone know what part of the URI is important or not.
In my country, explicit laws were setup to protect ppl from those religious networks of ppl. It seems, they take over whole chunk of the economy, no room left (or as an economic slave).
Dude are you OK?
It's a funny bit of musefulness, but again I disagree on terms. The subconcious layer of my mind does not merely generate plausibilities. That is part of it, yes, especially at the bounds of my senses colours will shade in that aren't there or shapes will look like people or characters. This is especially prevelent when I'm learning something new. For example, I'm learning how to read and write Traditional Chinese right now and when I move my eyes fast symbols will briefly look like Chinese ones that I know, even if they're actually Japanese characters that closely resemble them.

But the subconcious also handles two other major functions that are not involved in plausibility generation.

1. Prediction. Not just "predict something plausible" but "predict the time down to the second" or "predict what people are about to say on this podcast I'm listening to" and when it gets it uncannily right or surprisingly wrong it generates laughter of some kind.

2. Tacit learning. The type you only get by bathing in a topic for a good long time so that connections can form that are below a linguistic layer and to surface them requires abstract philosophical pondering after the fact.

There are other functions (snap judgements, feeling generation to guide strategic choices, creativity[0], and um, "connection"[1]) but those three together I would say comprise the bulk of the subconcious experience from my perspective.

[0] Some disagree that this subconcious. All I can say is that they're 100% wrong for me.

[1] Something I wish I had a word for but it's essentially the feeling and thinking generated by joining yourself with a piece of technology like a bike or a computer or a car. Its as if ones exoskeleton is donned and the neural pathways update to take it on.
Canada's tipping culture is flawed and there's no clear fix in sight
That's a good point. You or I could whack together a show that'd appeal to a hundred people across the globe for almost nothing. And if we enjoyed doing it there'd be no reason to stop.

That bit of the conversation seems mostly lost in the comparisons.
