I mean, what are you really going to do? Apple has $4b ad revenue and you aren't moving. I'm sure just like now you'll have a reason "oh it's not actually X" or whatever.

People make all these dramatic commitments but they never go through with it, or they leave out the true caveats that would weaken the statement.

> After much discussion, we determined that we can no longer continue to invest in accommodating SMS in the Android app while also dedicating the resources we need to make Signal the best messenger out there.

I did not need emoji's, groups, gifs and all the other neat stuff that signal has introduced throughout the years(to varying degrees of success). I had been using it, while none of my friends were. What I did need was a single messenger to handle sms/mms with the default being secure when security was available. I have multiple friends now using it and sadly will revert back to a 100% insecure messenger for my phone for 99% of my messages. The new one will do everything better than signal does except security, so it will have some benefits.

I will be on the lookout for a replacement. I hope signal continues to bring security for entities that need it through the future. I have not looked at tox in a while. I'll check that out again.

Yeah, I like Chomp. As I recall, I first installed it because it had an optional emoji pack with the old blob emojis in it, which I was miffed to have had taken away from me in an Android update.
UN Climate Change Report: “Time Is Not on Our Side”
This isn't meant to target hires. It's meant to target investments which fuels alot of this. It's complicated legal stuff, and i'm just an engineer, but I think they're tackling from the mindset of "If you didn't invest in this company because it's not diverse enough, but it met every other metric on the good investment scale, then the company doing the investment went against the goals of their shareholders(more $$). The idea is that alot of the companies doing this are doing it for investments from outside parties, so by removing that incentive it should stop it.
Well, it certainly is offensive, but I don't think that's what you mean. (Offered as humor not criticism)

Just as an aside, I was very skeptical of tech even like zoom rooms. It's simply a camera mounted on the display that has AI that focuses on people in the room and splits the display so you see everyone in the room individually. Why would you need this? Isn't it creepy?

The reality is that our remote meetings without zoom rooms are definitely less engaging, so we try to find the rooms in our office where those are enabled/installed.

However, the difference between that and what Meta and Microsoft are attempting is that the zoomrooms are an incremental improvement to an existing collaboration mode. Can you imagine mixed-mode meetings with VR?

Unless you have tons of people who WANT to VR meet then it's going be a flop.
Depends on your definition of success. Their burn rate is tremendous to match. FB engineers are not cheap.

Sure, they have apps, but no killer app that will make non-nerds want to use their product yet. Workrooms IMO is a solution in search of a problem. Would anybody really rather use that than a regular video chat?
That's almost suspiciously similar to the Tunguska event, [1] a 3-30 megaton event from 1908, which flattened a large area of Siberian forest. Airburst meteorites hit fairly frequently in our solar system.

I don't even know if you could detect a difference between an extrasolar high-velocity (60,000 km/s) low-mass (10^-2 kg) airburst and an interplanetary 'low'-velocity (27 km/s) high-mass (10^+9 kg) airburst.

Importantly, these events are purely thermal, not nuclear, so there would be no radioactive fallout.

Brian Krzanich was cancelled/fired for sleeping with a coworker, so the then-CFO Bob Swan was made CEO after Intel tried to hire "externally" for a year or so. After MBA'fying Intel for a couple of years, he left to a16z, a perfect place for people like him. Pat Gelsinger then joined, probably too late, to try to steer the ship back in the right direction. Intel as an organization is finished. (I worked at Intel for 5 years through these changes)

Your last sentence is true, but somewhat irrelevant IMO. That is, even if it takes 1,000x as much water to grow a tomato as ends up in the final tomato, that's all a sunk cost. That water was going to be used either way in order to make ketchup.

The question is: can we recapture some of the water that would have otherwise been wasted in the tomato processing/ketchup producing step?

If we can, and as long as doing so doesn't take undue resources (electricity, etc.), then it makes sense to capture the water, right?
Hello. Long time lurker, first-time poster (because this question resonates with me).

I accidentally stopped drinking after 30+ years. Three factors helped get me there.

1. I have been practicing mindfulness for 20+ years. Alcohol disrupted my practice.

2. To prioritize my health, I modified my diet (keto), and drinking no longer fit into my food-related health goals.

3. I started exercising, and drinking didn't support this habit.

Takeaways: if possible, add important things (i.e., habits) to your life. Sometimes these habits force alcohol out of your life. So, instead of "Stop drinking," start "something(s)" and let them force alcohol out.

Of course, this may not work for you, but I wanted to share what worked for me.

This is what I used to do and is definitely the best part about cable to streaming.

People now complain that the services resemble what cable used to be - but there were entire movies and countless sitcom plots about people tryng to cancel service. It was terrible for customers. Free trials of streamers have mostly dried up but rotating can still provide value - and probably better for your own time.

It's well-accepted in psychology/sociology that moral development extends beyond simply following the law, i.e. using the law as a stand-in for moral principles. E.g. in Kohlberg's stages of moral development[1], there is a post-conventional stage where an individual develops a moral code independent of laws, and views laws as a social contract that can be disobeyed if it violates his/her morals. Laws are a good guideline, but are not an absolute moral framework.

> I don't feel like it's worth giving up control over your user's authentication to an intermediary in return for saving a week of work.

The market is tested, though. Auth0 is a notable player in this space and they seem to be making money.

Like you, I've been pretty unhappy with this class of product. Auth0 provides just enough to be dangerous; upload Javascript with no way to unit test it to gate auth (that broke!), support for multiple social providers but no built-in way to unify accounts (do that yourself), etc. They also have an insanely low limit for OAuth client applications; so low that we had to buy an enterprise contract to scale out to production.

(BTW, the way I tested auth hooks after an outage caused by a faulty one was to implement their API in Go, embed a Javascript interpreter in our Go tests, and then execute the hooks against an in-memory version of our API server. That eliminated any server-caused auth hook breakages. But I have to ask, why am I paying them when I have to do all the work?)

A competitor could be good here.

While Intel has had it's own shortcomings, the PC market is cratering [1] and Intel among others is very exposed.

Hi please reread. It was a reply to the comment about an all young white nerdy men team being bad because they are all white and male, saying "But they make horrible teams". Second, I used statistics, not opinion. You straw man with this "everyone in those countries are" followed by describing how no 2 people occupy the same space-time.

I'm unclear on what you think they could do. Is your idea here that Google is so smart that they can break end to end encryption? If so, we've got bigger problems.

It isn't fair to presume that everyone shares your lack of knowlege on a subject, and it's simply incorrect to presume that because you don't understand something that it cannot be safe or reliable.
Ah, I see. In the UK, "upper class" generally means peerage and royalty. It implies familiarity with certain manners and customs, and having relatives that share those manners.

It's not a question of "politeness" - the upper classes curse like troopers, and generally can be very coarse. It's just a particular kind of manners, that they recognize. It's not a question of wealth, and certainly not a matter of exceeding some annual income threshold. Many people that would be considered upper class are not very rich, and most very rich people certainly aren't considered upper class.

Really, the UK upper class is defined by blood - who your mum and dad were. That affects where you go to school, which determines what manners you learn (and might influence how much you get to earn).
That is strange.
Not really, once it evaporates into the upper atmosphere it goes where the weather cycles it to.

That's why you have places with incredible evaporation and far less rainfall over water, if the water stayed local you'd expect that rainfall and evaporation to be roughly the same over large lakes and ocean, however that is not the case locally.
That's a link to deregister a phone number from iMessage without an iPhone, which is good, but I don't see any text on that page that confirms that they'll deregister you automatically, or if there's any user-visible indication of the issue. If that's the case, then I'm glad they finally addressed it, because it was definitely a problem for far too long.

In that case, Signal's current behavior would be comparable to Apple's, if Apple also deregisters you after a period of inactivity.
I don't know a lot of the details, but everything I've heard over the last couple of years indicated that AMD was absolutely crushing Intel.

A recent laptop I purchased, as well as the last desktop I put together (~2 years ago) each have Ryzen chips. I forget the details but in addition to performance issues, didn't Intel CPUs also have some major security vulnerabilities? And was it that they were related to instruction-level performance optimizations that, when disabled to address the security vulnerabilities, led to even worse performance?

So if AMD isn't doing great at the moment either, I can't imagine how hard Intel has been hit. I don't know anyone who is buying or recommending Intel CPUs at the moment.
I watched the Creedence Clearwater Revival (most successful band in the world in 1969) documentary on Netflix, and it's striking how "uncool" they seem, especially John Fogerty. It's not surprising that savant-like weirdos would create better music that social media influencers.
Harder to fire, harder to hire, without fail.
Ouch. Very sorry for those affected. I worked at Intel for >8 years, and I still have a lot of friends there.

I have little faith in Intel's management. They apparently plan to continue increasing their dividend payouts, while cutting back on investment in fabs according to https://semianalysis.substack.com/p/intel-cuts-fab-buildout-...

... and in the context of the recently-passed CHIPS Act...

I wish they'd be more of an engineering-driven bottom-up company. IMO there's a huge company culture to contend with that is primarily top-down. So much scar tissue in the company prevents changing things for the better. So many good people capable of making these sorts of changes get burned out and leave the company. Intel's compensation compared to FAANG certainly helps to push people out of the company.
> despite a large number of techies using Android

I use an iPhone. Not for any philosophical reason. I tried switching to android 3 times over the years since the first iPhone came out. Same plan, same provider, grandfathered in, same house, same spot. Each android phone did not get the same level of cell service in my house as the iPhone. I have side gigs I do contracting for, I have had cases of missing calls where the androids have literally cost me $100's of dollars, phone didn't ring... just a voicemail notification showing up hours later.

After the 3rd attempt, last being a nexus 5, I gave up. I'm sorry but I draw a line when a device messes with my income regardless of my ideological stance on open source and not having a windows device or even an Apple laptop in the house for the last 13 years.

With that said the Pixel 7 Pro looks nice, and I would love to give it a try but I'll only do that if I have it on a separate dedicated line to try out besides my main one that have had for 20 years. Not sure it's worth the effort at this point.
Not a lawyer but I thought perjury was false statements under-oath, like in a trial. That's a very different matter than being wrong in a casual interview with the cops/feds.

Do you have any examples of laws about "giving false statements" to local police? Seems like a rather blatant 1st amendment violation.
The biggest problem with current dating apps is that they limit swipes behind a paywall.

Sure, you can pay to get the opportunity to swipe on more profiles, but you can't pay to give everyone else the opportunity to swipe on yours. That means paying for more swipes doesn't really get you more matches.

Dating is a numbers game, and Tinder/etc. are rigged not to play.
The handshake involves telling the camera which IP address to stream the video to so this can be done on any IP address whether local or not.
This rule states that it will happen "by itself", in that if you look at any large organization, the dynamic described happens to be true. Of course, it happened because somebody thought that the organization had to be kept "in shape", in accordance with some "shape" he envisioned. But organizations that don't do this fizzle out and don't exist as such, so you never get to observe them.
It happens. Data center computing is profitable, and Intel mastered the sales motion long ago. IBM never really got off mainframes for similar reasons. It's a variation of the Innovator's Dilemma.

> I am one of those people

Do you have any friends who have attempted suicide, failed, and now regret the attempt immensely?

Do you wish they had succeeded in their suicide attempt?

I am talking about a situation where they regret the decision, are alive now, and are glad that they are alive, and that the attempt failed.

For that situation, do you think they should have died, even though now they admit that it was a mistake and are glad that they didn't go through with it?

> I have been for the last 15 years

This wasn't about a situation where someone has made a decision, and been certain of it for years.

Instead, if you read the conversation, it was about if someone should be able to make a quick, decision, within literally 5 seconds.

Do you understand how giving someone a decision, in this short a period of time, is extremely different than if someone has thought about the situation for a long time, and is very certain?
I wonder if it did? Who bought a laptop because it had an Intel CPU? I know I always bought Intel laptops because Intel laptops were the only things available, not because I have some high view of Intel as a brand. I imagine the vast majority of laptop buyers wouldn't even know what an Intel is.
Thanks.

Sounds like an ugly place, but I doubt there's too many places like it. Addicts in early Recovery are not an especially reliable workforce. I think that SynAnon was like that, in the early days.

The problem with addicts, is that society hates them, so it's fairly easy to do what you want with them.

Also, a lot of rehabs and detoxes are run by addicts, and many of them have not progressed too far in Recovery, themselves.
It was something I intrinsically knew, from the moment I became remotely cognizant of the differences between men and women (about 5 years old). I didn’t have words for it, and frequently any mention of the notion either by myself or in popular culture was met with instant derision or comedy. So with the social brow beatings accumulated, I kept quiet, and tried to live as a man. The depression got worse, the drinking got worse, etc. The things that helped me most:

- My spouse, who was supportive and understanding the moment I came out

- My family, who were largely unsurprised by the news (my grandfather made an oddly supportive albeit sexist joke, saying “I knew that kid was a girl the moment she learned to talk and wouldn’t shut up!”)

- My friends, who were also completely unsurprised

- My own physiology, in that I discovered in the process of obtaining HRT that I am intersex, which honestly explained a lot.
Yes, because Android is only for the poors and the rich universally use the iPhone without exception.

You're on HN. Half of us use Android.
"...to stay online" is relevant in that clause.
> Microsoft ignoring AMD in their latest Surface lineup is a hint for the people looking for answers

I think the entire new surface line-up is a giant conspiracy.

The Surface Pro 9 5G has a Qualcomm 8cx Gen 3 with some tweaks called the SQ3. It does not match the performance of 12 Gen intel in a 15w power envelope, which is important because the Surface Pro 9 non-5G (intel) uses an i5-1235u, a 15w chip. But the last Gen, the pro 8 used a 28w 11th gen part. This means that the y/y perfromance is actually about the same (but better power/heat). If they used a matching 28w CPU it would have been a much bigger jump comapred to the ARM SQ3 5G.

But then, it gets WAY weirder.

The new (FOUR THOUNSDAND DOLLAR) Surface Studio 2+ ? 11th gen laptop CPU (11370H)...which is as fast as SQ3 will be.

Surface Laptop 5? Exact same specs as Surface Pro 8.

Casual reminder that the now two year old Apple M1 still smokes every single chip I just mentioned, all in a fanless iPad Air. The would-be Surface Laptop AMD Ryzen 6800U would be right on par with M1...which would make that SQ3 look like a bad deal.

Microsoft is sandbagging the lineup for ARM.
> Most recorded data from satellites is also NOT open source.

This is false. NASA and ESA science data is free.

There is often an embargo period for very novel sensors, and always a delay of hours-to-weeks to allow processing to catch up, but it's free.

If it's the source code of the analysis pipeline you mean -- even though you said data - that's a harder lift, because the processing is complex. But even that is changing (https://science.nasa.gov/open-science-overview).

Even in the absence of the open science initiative above, today you can always get the raw data ("Level 1 radiances") or sometimes even uncalibrated straight-off-the-sensor data ("Level 0"), if you want to process it. (https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/engage/open-data-services-and... -- "All EOS instruments must have Level 1 Standard Data Products (SDPs)")

And if you want to look in to how the processing works, there are detailed documents ("ATBD's") that explain how the pipeline works, for each data product. Also free.

Wall Street is metonymy for the stock market.
Letting employees keep computers seems pretty rational. It generates goodwill, and if the company demanded the computers back, they'd have nothing to do with most of them (except newer ones that could be given to existing employees who happen to have older machines).

They could sell them used, but not for much (especially after paying for prepaid shipping boxes).
