You misremember. It was Facetime which Jobs promised Apple would make into an open standard, in 2010. He died the week before Apple released iMessage.

Aren't you worried about side effects and addiction?

Say you find some really bad side-effect in the future, can you live a normal life without it, and then you have to think how has your mind changed since getting used to the drug compared to before? And then if you have some other health problem, you always have to worry is it because of the substance or not...so you will think maybe I need to stop just in case...and then you realize you are addicted.
That kind of doomer prediction would be more interesting if we did not live in time period with historically high employment rates.

Out of curiosity, what upcoming regulations?
>You need WhatsApp anyway, you’ll have several apps whatever you do.

Do I? Not being snarky here, I just really don't understand why I need WhatsApp.

No one I know uses WhatsApp to communicate with me. No business I deal with uses WhatsApp to communicate with me.

In fact, I'm not sure what value WhatsApp provides as I've never used it.

I'd appreciate it if you'd elucidate on your point. Mostly because if you're correct, I'm obviously missing something extremely important.
No one was physically hurt but they were certainly hurt psychologically and financially.
You ever tried that? It's a horrible experience. I love Android but you definitely need to spend much more to get something out of it. My advice is to get a second hand Samsung flagship - I have S9+, that's a great phone you can get for $200 - but don't go for anything less, you'll be very sorry if you do.
Ha. On a hunch I watched that video and hunch confirmed in the first second: I used to work for those guys, but not in the Centrifugation division :-)
This is what I'm switching to. I would have suggested Textra, but when I downloaded it just now, TrackerControl told me there are a bunch of tracking libraries in it. Simple SMS Messenger, on the other hand, not only doesn't have any tracking libraries, but doesn't ask for internet access!

I've used other tools in the Simple suite and I love them.

Although I like using F-Droid, this app is also available on the regular Play Store as well.
Americans, do people not use whatsapp over there? In Europe everyone uses whatsapp for literally everything, with a sprinkling of Telegram if you are into something a little subversive and Signal if you actually care about privacy.

The only time I use text/sms is to recieve codes for things, and I'm doing that less and less.
> it's criminal that a vast reason they have so much market share is because of imessage and the fact that it's "broken" with SMS to some degree.

That's just speculation, though. It's entirely plausible that the fundamental reason they have so much market share is because people agree with you:

> I just want a phone that works.

I've gone back and forth between Android and iPhone myself, and what draws me back to iPhone is the lower TCO and more appliance-like nature of the phone. I have enough tech toys to play with every day, I don't need my phone to be one of them.
Exactly, we need computer-equipped neural nets. Models need to use traditional UIs (including programming languages) and then we can talk about how to stop them. :)
Telegram has existed for a good number of years and despite all the hate from HN is the Ukrainians (and Russians) preferred way to share news (not military secrets, obviously).
You can buy a new Android phone for $20. A $400+ phone, with a $19 charging cable that is not included, is a luxury for many people.
Yep, the problem is the burner Androids bringing down the average. Basically every phone that I've used in the past decade has had a decent camera, but I'm aware that the premium Androids have some superlatives in that department.
I'm ok with the rebranding part. "Starline" sounds like a space Titanic.

This is more like a big TV you can sit close to and other people in the room who move slowly from left to right will be able to see a parallax effect on the screen.
Again: these aren't punitive damages.
The bigger debate would have been whether the matter should be pursued through the courts or if the defamer should be challenged to a duel.
I know some of the 1970s patents on LWR involved methods for controlling water chemistry so that the thing didn’t corrode. Those are certainly expired by now. There are a lot of great ideas in the AP1000 but since the time scale from conception to getting them into production is so long the length of patent protection seems short.

The Chinese for instances have derived the CAP1200 from the AP1000 but they seem really excited to go forward with the Hualong One which is similar to the AP1000 in a lot of ways but believed to be more cost effective.

> If Coca-Cola manages to reduce their bottling costs

If glass reduces costs the market would likely go in that direction quickly, but we already agreed that glass is more expensive, hence primarily why plastic is preferred by the consumer. They don't actually care how the liquid arrives, they just want it cheaply and conveniently.

But let's say, hypothetically speaking, that Coca-Cola wanted to pretend to be more environmentally friendly and started making glass bottles more accessible, but also kept plastic bottles around to satisfy the actual customer demand. What reason is there for us to believe that Coca-Cola would simply eat the cost of glass bottles rather than pass that added cost onto consumers? It's not going to happen. At best you might see a short-term loss leader-type offer as a marketing stunt, but soon glass will cost more.

I mean, you suggest yourself that they will put profitability at the forefront of their decision making, profitability that is driven directly by consumer demand, so there is a contradiction here to think that plastic won't be sold for comparatively less. Glass costs more and they will, without question, pass that added cost on. Coca-Cola exists to serve the customer, not to give away things for free.

I do, indeed, assume that the added cost of glass will be passed onto the consumer because, well, why wouldn't it be? Coca-Cola isn't a charity and the price conscious consumer will just buy the lower cost plastic bottle anyway, so there is no risk to their market by charging more for the luxury of glass. In fact, it would only serve to harm Coca-Cola and its shareholders if they compelled consumers into choosing glass at the same price as plastic.

To think that Coca-Cola would sell glass at the same price as plastic, temporary marketing stunts aside, is even more silly than thinking that consumers would legislate their ability to buy plastic bottles, where they have shown a clear preference towards, away from themselves.
Yeah I think the object here is not to enrich the families but to make the costs actually matter instead of being a line item on his annual financials.
There already is a way but it does require an apple Mac or virtual machine:

It's hard to get to a point where VR is ubiquitous enough to use it for all of your meetings, because you must first get to a point where VR is useful for a few of your meetings before it starts to spread and become popular. And that isn't happening for me at least, because it's too much work to start.
Calling what Jones did "say the wrong words" is not anywhere close to reality.
I really doubt this anecdote.

The entire point of being in a union is for collective bargaining power. What incentive would an employer have to bargain with individuals directly, only to then get raked over the coals by the union for everyone else too?

Treating you special is a liability for the employer when dealing with unions.

When you joined a union you stopped being an individual and you became part of the collective union. That's what you signed up for... and these are the consequences of that decision.
I'm curious if this decision will play any part in the current defamation suit between News Corp and Dominion.
> We have now reached the point where SMS support no longer makes sense

I'm curious, are these guys lives in a bubble or what? I think they should try to travel around the world a bit.

> we’ve heard repeatedly from people who’ve been hit with high messaging fees after assuming that the SMS messages they were sending were Signal messages, only to find out that they were using SMS, and being charged by their telecom provider.

So in essence, they fuc*d up UI/UX and now the simplest approach to fix would be just to remove it. Sounds like a brilliant idea from an MBA guy or whatever-evangelist-title-is.
1. Echoing all the comments here, can’t see google keeping this around for 5+ years

2. I feel like the main thing holding back a normal video meeting or even voice call is latency - latency leads to the awkward pauses or interruptions that for me cause the most “connection friction”. If anyone here has talked on an actual landline recently, it feels qualitatively better than a teams voice call for example due to the decreased latency and ability to both talk at once. Solve this, and you solve 90% of the problem, imo
And that is in fact not the case.
Well, I am not really interested in cookie jars. But I am interested in, for example, particle physics. There we need need simple ways to communicate point estimates and the associated uncertainties for various parameters of nature. Intervals are a convenient way to do this. Frequentist confidence intervals have the virtue that they will cover the true parameter at the nominal rate. Bayesian credible intervals in general have no such guarantee. In many cases we can find Bayesian-inspired interval estimators that have good coverage properties. But in some cases there is an irreconcilable conflict. And there you have to choose between long-run correctness and being Bayesian.

You might claim that we should do away with intervals and just report posteriors for all physical quantities. This complicates matters slightly without solving the problem. If the true parameters, when ultimately known, consistently end up in very low density regions of the probability distribution (such as far in the tails), we would regard our uncertainty estimates as poor. Again, it is not hard to construct examples where Bayesian methods have poor coverage properties in this sense.

(Also, a minor point: Regarding "Do you need to select a strategy up front which gives at least a 70% chance of being right about the jar over iterations where the jar is fixed but the data varies?", one does not need to fix the jar for frequentist methods to have good guarantees. See Wasserman's simulation with the median.)

Re: "Given that I drew a cookie with 2 chips on the first draw, what is the chance I draw a cookie with 0 chips on my second draw?", this is not a question about estimating an unknown parameter of a distribution, so it's not statistical in the sense Wasserman is talking about. It's just an elementary probability question that requires knowing something about the jars to answer. Both frequentist and Bayesian statisticians agree on the validity of Bayes rule (and hence how to answer this question once the relevant information is known or assumed); where they differ is on how to conceptualize and estimate unknown parameters of probability distributions.
Which is weird, because the web is the one place where you can hit any OS mobile or not. I mean, yeah that adds complexity but not developing concurrent versions of apps has to be a win.

Depends on if it's total compensation or not. The money in your pension is "paid" to you when you're old, but it's ideally being released to you from a annuity that is already paid up. Business-friendly laws usually enable companies to keep these funds insolvent, and instead to maintain their retirees as creditors indefinitely, but that's not the model.
If the situation goes on, the US will go back to the spot when ATT was a monopoly for anything telecomms.

can you actually share what "current AI models" are then? Not trying to be rude, but you just said "na ah" and then refused to argument any position.
This always confused me, if someone is wiped out in this way how are they able to survive in the aftermath? Isn't this effectively sentencing them to homelessness forever, or is there a floor value in these wins that's always respected which accounts for some minimal cost amount of food+rent?

And doesn't the responsibility to pay up remain for money made after the bankruptcy event? Or does declaring bankruptcy ensure a clean slate such that income from new ventures is safe from being confiscated?
I don't know, for a good while before Ryzen came out Intel CPUs were widely regarded as the best choice, so the marketing may very well have helped move machines.

Am I the only one who likes this change?

I'm tired of explaining to my relatives why they can send their picture to one person but not to another, or why it requires wifi for some contacts. Mixing two incompatible messaging standards communicating via two different channels in one app is confusing for many people. Sure, it also has advantages and I think you could make it work, but the app actively asking users to make it the default SMS app is not a great idea.
This reminds me of Cisco's Telepresence. Anyone know how this is different?
A PC and an 11" Samsung / Android Tablet. Sadly, my ReMarkable is still in the drawer it's been in for the last couple of years. The user experience is just to un-compelling.
Correct. That's the point. If free speech is based on how much you make or how many people listen to you then it's not free speech it's a system for extortion.
Well, that doesn’t quite work either. Energy and time are also conjugate variables, so there exists an uncertainty relationship between them.

And since you can relate energy to momentum in a well defined way…
(1) No, again, the damages announced today are compensatory, not punitive.

(2) If we're talking about the "actual malice" standard, then the standard is recklessness, not negligence.

(3) None of that matters here, because Jones lost the trial by default (the evidence would have clearly shown Jones to have met the actual malice standard, but it's a moot point).
But points being:

1. RCS is now available and a standard. iMessage already "degrades" to sending SMS messages to those not on iMessage. There is no reason they can't better support RCS.

2. While MMS groups were missing a ton of features, there are just things now that are much worse as an Android user interacting with an iMessage group than it was previously in an MMS group. I.e. I never used to have issues with dropped images before, but in an iMessage group it's like a crapshoot whether my photos get delivered.

Who said unions decreased lifetime earnings?

Fortunately, an iPhone isn't strictly a luxury, as there is still a healthy market of second-hand and independently refurbished models available at a variety of price points. Apple's actions over the last few years threaten to seriously undermine this, though.
What a great read. Saving this for additional research later. I also saw something related to harvesting some energy from the tides, which I think would fall under lifting or sinking stuff and virtual batteries. I wasn't convinced on being able to scale it, or get too much of significance out of it, so i didnt read too much into what the exact technical implementation was.

The bureaucracy exists to serve the bureaucracy (a play on the infamous Oscar Wilde quote).

It's inescapable and unavoidable for any sufficiently long-lived bureaucracy. By the time you have full-time, professional union employees running things, the disconnect between what actual workers need/want grows uncontrollably.
many serious applications back then built by developers who cared about performance and latency made use of mod_perl. it put the entire perl interpreter (which then loaded perl modules that defined the application) into the preforked apache httpd processes.

often times you'd put a proxy in front, serving static assets with a lighter weight http so that slow loads wouldn't tax limited server capacity for big httpd processes that included full perl interpreters and all application code loaded.

so it seems it's almost exactly the same?
The union systems in the US and Europe are vastly different

In the US you can only have one Union per workplace and job classification. Employer must treat the union and non-union workers the same. In most States employees have the right to not join the Union, but they are still obligated to pay partial fees to the union.

For example, they cannot pay non-union workers a higher rate wage then the union worker.
In the budget range it's the other way around though.

For €300 you get a decent phone with bezelless 120Hz OLED screen. The iPhone SE that is almost €600 doesn't even have any of that. Cool that it's made from finely crafted aluminium but the screen is what I interact with constantly.
Steel workers were unionized, and there are less US steel workers now. Textile workers in the Carolinas were not unionized, and there are a lot less Carolina textile workers now.

The difference is Larry Page's grandfather was at a union job in Michigan in the 1930s and sent his son to college, and then his grandson started Google. Textile workers in the Carolinas got less education, and then the factories closed up.
