Yes, TCP/ip and SIP, no magic packet, but:
1. You need to do challenges with the SIM card for authentication
2. On most carriers, "ims" is on a special IPv6 data connection that can't be used by apps.

The specifications are public, but yeah it requires a lot of work to get into.

That being said, I think neither of those limitations apply to Google's "RCS" (which bypasses carriers, so they can't get their own IPv6 connection and I don't think they can use SIM challenges for auth), so I think it should be possible in a 3rd party app.

> It forces you to change, maintain a good relationship w/ your partner, be a good role model, etc.

No, it doesn’t actually, as any kind of even approximately universal effect, force any of that, and even a casual look around at society would demonstrate that pretty clearly. It may or may not have motivated that in you – but plenty of people who would describe themselves as having those traits in their own relationships / parenting objectively don’t, so self-assessment is pretty clearly not a reliable gauge here. I would agree that there are people whose combination of innate personality, life experiences, etc., will lead them to actually be nudged in those directions by having children, but there are plenty who won’t be. And there are plenty of people who will be nudged in much more negative directions by the experience.

As a parent myself, it amazes me how many people who are parents are drawn into a bizarre evangelization of parenting as some kind of universally ideal vocation, with stories about the effect it will have that are trivially refutable by looking outside of one’s own internal narrative of their own experience with their own kids at the rest of the world around them.
Signal is not a publicly traded company and does not have shareholders; it's a non-profit.
So he just got $6000 once for saving $600k/yr? Let's say the company didn't overspent on that, especially if you factor in that after 5 years €3M has already been saved. I don't know the incentives for sales, but I can imagine that theirs look better than 0,2% (if you just limit the projected savings over 5 years).

I really love the versatility of my iPad as well but this single use case you mentioned I can't understand:

> + I want to play some music (great speakers)

Yes, the speakers are fine for their size and certainly good enough to listen to a podcast or talk-heavy Youtube video but I couldn't imagine listening to any music on it. Any budget bluetooth speaker for less than 100 bucks or headphones will sound much, much better.
Tipp: I usually go to bed with my 3y old son at 8pm. Then I usually wake up at 4am (or earlier). Between 4am and 6.30, I can do all my personal stuff, self-hosting, reading HN, trying technologies etc. We eat breakfast together and then head to work/Kindergarden etc. Worked really well and I totally enjoy the calm morning hours to slowly prepare for the day. That said, having kids is still the biggest challenge I ever encountered (I worked abroad, got a PhD, went to UC Berkeley and still, all of this felt super easy compared to a kid).
I think that differs very much per country. The last time I have received an SMS from a human in NL must have been a decade ago. In many European countries, sending SMS was quite expensive, leading to early and very wide adoption of WhatsApp.
They don't go out. Kids go to bed and now you've got from 7:30/8pm till bed time to do whatever.
Given the (apparent) income level, the other option is hired help.
This is the problem I have, I'm quite similar, but my job doesn't allow it.

Working from home has helped me dramatically as I can get up a bit closer to my ideal time, but whenever I have to work from the office, I might as well write off the whole week, it's really hard as most days I need to nap to recover lost sleep.

It's a shame society isn't more flexible. It's very much aligned for the early birds and shortish sleep cycles.

What is "traditional reporting"? If you refer to these profit driven attention seeking media outlets which love to label themselves as "traditional media" I'd be careful assuming that their selection of news is any sensible indication of what is really important. As said, they have to make money first and foremost, and this entire CV19 topic is burnt to a crisp by now, i.e. "ROI" is low compared to other topics.

Fact is that Germany has seen a jump in people being infected, hospitalized, and generally being on sick leave, which triggers and triggered already a number of consequences from that. This includes operations being shifted around, and other (localized) health system overloads due to staff shortages. "Traditional media" actually covered the more official complaints coming from that direction.

Are you accomplishing anything during those 8 hours or do you sit in meetings all day listening to people qualify their existence? I changed employers because of this and sacrificed compensation to do so. That resulted in a quality of life improvement for me.
We agree on the intended use of the app being more about passive consumption of a feed of interesting content, not active, thorough exploration of particular topics.

I'm not sure why you think the whole hashtag system was trash because of this one aspect. Most of the evidence I see is contrary to your statements.

To reiterate, the strength of the tagging system is the relationship between the tags you interact with, not any given individual tag. Also, individual tags are not exclusively literal descriptors for their content. They may be, or they may be used like: 'people who like #jenniferlawrence will also like #...'
I think it would be good to be able to enable and disable this column (as well as the others since you prefer some column for some research and vice versa)
In my experience, people who are having kids because they want to be better have something broken in their lives that they ought to to work on fixing before having kids, and the consequences if they don’t can be…quite bad.

I've had to sign an NDA several times before interviewing; it covered information shared about the company's product or proprietary technology (games industry in this case). I've always thought that was fairly common, and it allows the interviewer to talk more openly with you about what you'd potentially be working on.
We do generally pay extra for international calls, though text messaging is often free (assuming you’re talking about international states. US states, of course, are all treated as the same country).

Almost all phone plans have unlimited (domestic) texting and calling and differentiate themselves with data, reliability and ”free” perks like subsidized Netflix. You really have to go out of your way to find a plan with limited texts/calls.
Linux on desktop still sucks massively with even basic things. No per-display scaling in GNOME in 2022 is ridiculous. Power management on laptops is significantly worse.
I never understood Telegram. It's insecure by default, runs in a different jurisdiction. It's not even anonymous

But somehow people started using it because it was "more secure" than whatsapp.
I've only had one experience with azure support, Back when i was first getting into cloud/playing around with servers, I had forgotten to shut down the VPC i rented there, and I ended up with a bill of ~100$, which is a decent chunk for a student.

Wrote to support, explained my situation, and they removed the bill without any hassle.

In terms of time you have the time based on your profile. Plenty of time spent on HN. You're also gaining the equivalent of work+commute every Saturday & Sunday.

Not sure that can be said as a blanket statement for the whole of Europe. In the UK SMS isn't common at all anymore.
Which countries? It has zero use in the UK (apart from for stuff like parcel deliveries and 2FA). We're 100% WhatsApp.
Automated messages are pretty much the only thing I get via SMS. Other than the occasional message from my mum who likes to randomly flip between WhatsApp and SMS depending on which way the wind blows.
You're forgetting that there's more than just person-to-person SMS.

<<It's only in the US that iMessage is so prevalent that Android users have to use SMS, the only other way of messaging iOS devices. And the US is quickly becoming a de-facto iOS only country. It already has more than 50% market share, even 80% among young people.

Do you have any data to back it up? I have trouble believing that, but I am admittedly biased against Apple devices.
SMS is still very common in India.

That's obviously not true. I live in a European country where a lot of people are still using SMS.
No, my phone plan in the US was unlimited call and text. So it was either imessage with everyone or text.
> Did you ever think about how you'll never again be able to stay up all night and research new technologies, or have a hobby like kayaking, or .. All because of parenting?

No, because I'm one of those people who makes every effort to not be a parent :)

(Not that I have a queue of people with any desire to partner with me in the parenting process ATM!)

Though parenting isn't the only thing that can get in the way of late nights playing with new tech. As I'm getting older, all-nighters generally are getting harder, my running has spun into endurance event territory which requires a lot of training time and sleep in between, I do some martial arts too, my parents aren't getting any younger and if they need/want some care & attention that bumps other priorities, …, … Not having enough hours in the day or days in the month is something most people have to contend with in some way, shape, or form.
That was ages ago. Most people have unlimited text messages these days (SMS, not MMS).
Read the EULA, not the marketing copy, next time.
I'm sure if the tech were up to the task, they'd have a robot you could walk around with and look at things. But it'd need really good resolution and dynamic range paired with flexible and fine motor control to lean into an engine and look for tiny bubbles. This is a research field of its own. Not something they just have.

For example: Humans improve their visual perception by lightly shifting their heads to avoid reflections, gauge shadows and mitigate obstructions. If the tech can't follow, you have an inferior solution. A solution where bubbles will be missed. Just staring at a screen is not the same. Even if you can tilt the camera.
Apple maps was horrible...at first (and still is in parts of the world). A full-throttled attempt at Apple search would likely go the same way: not great in the long tail, but acceptable or even good for a decent proportion of users.
My first reaction (as a Dutchie) was "only 2/3?". If I had to estimate the number at my old school it would be 90%.

(edit: I see that number is for primary schools, that makes more sense, for high schools it would be higher)
No I'm not. I receive automated SMS messages all the time. 2FA codes, parcel tracking, my appointment at the dentist reminder etc...

But that's pointless to have inside the Signal app, which is for person-to-person communication. I wouldn't even want those messages in WhatsApp even if it could do it.
Surely that twirl effect isn't made using AI but just a geometric function, right?
Definitely, and I absolutely love what I am doing. It's only that I really miss the whole communal and social aspect around it and feel few other people do.
I suspect you are misperceiving the lay of the land there.

It's true California does tax fossil fuels, but much of those taxes are more than offset by subsidies that go right back to the industry. The state did recently (as in a few months ago) ended one of their subsidies for fossil fuels, saving ~$160 million/year, which is a huge deal.

That said, there's still substantial subsidies for fossil fuels a the state level, and the feds chip in close to $15 billion/yr. The overall subsidy picture for fossil fuels dwarfs the subsidies for renewables.

Twitter app is similar. Those Silicon Valley giants treat users like cattle.
That does not match my experience.

First, you might have more than one child, so it might take a while between the birth of the oldest one and the time the youngest one is 1.5 years old.

Second, having a full-time job + commute + eating + running errands + actually spending time with your children + X is not only time consuming, it is also very tiring. Of course it depends on how old you are when you become a parent - and only a few years can make a big difference - but I can tell you, after a full day, you're toast when the kids are in bed.

I'm regularly getting up very early so I can be done with my day job early in order to maximize the time I get to spend with my children. But that means that in the hours I have "off", I wouldn't be capable of working on, say, a hobby video game the way I used to be able to when I was in my 20s or even 30s and single.
Homoscedasticity and Heteroscedasticity
In statistics, a sequence (or a vector) of random variables is homoscedastic if all its random variables have the same finite variance. This is also known as homogeneity of variance. The complementary notion is called heteroscedasticity.
Kinda like the idea of using NFTs as tickets (for concerts or stuff like that). We recently had an issue with false tickets during a football match in France, I'm sure you can use NFTs here, with a good UI (so unlike 99% of crypto) (not necessarily on a public Blockchain tbh).
I have yet to encounter a predictive text system that handles more than one language well. I type a mix of Dutch and English on my phone, because that's how I talk. But there is no reliable way to say "use both". It's one or the other.

The is one problem with letting Americans design things. They don't understand that the rest of the world regularly speaks more than one language, and that in different environments they're mixed up in different ways.

It sort of reminds me of a video I watched some time ago where some guy explains how he was cutting costs, by instead of having a high memory server they used one with nvme SSD and cut on memory usage a bit (I believe they used it to host some redis instance). Was like 1700 dollar difference per month, although I couldn't help but think if the time spent on the project was actually worth the manhours paid to the guy for cutting those costs.
I think market expectations and presenting like company is doing something is even more important. The laid off people are just pieces in this, like they were when they were hired.
This is very interesting. Unlike BlueSky it seems it uses the ontologies compatible with ActivityPub federation, which might prove a good compromise for interoperability in the future.

I noticed it too. Somehow, typing on earlier iOS-es produced much less mistakes. I also remember some version where it broke substantially, and I realized that just over a week or so (well, another explanation is I got old that week). Now it’s unbearable and I often leave my typos in chats as is, giving up after 2-3 attempts, or immediately because I foresee the struggle.

I also tried an android phone (and gboard on ios). Same shitty input, but better correction, especially for qwerty-typos. Sadly, the board itself feels like shit and I returned to apple one, plus I don’t trust google to handle my input pii/ads-wise.

Another apple keyboard quirk is that it is stubborn for the first letter of a word. E.g. if I type fouble, at no time it will suggest double. Fou -> For, foubl -> found, ends up with foible. These letters are not even close, what were they or their NN thinking? “Double” is a simplest, qwerty-levenstein-nearest word for this input. I don’t even know what foible means. Since that change I began to pay attention to first letters, otherwise my text turns into complete gibberish.
One thing you need to keep in mind is that if you want an app with strong security, the less code you have, the easier it is to achieve the goal.

By definition, Signal is not going to have bells and whistles and niche features, to keep the codebase lean and easier to avoid security weaknesses.

If you want an app with many features, use Telegram.

(They did however ship emoji reactions in Signal because most people actually like it and the other apps do have it; curiously missing in Telegram).
You're right. I messed up the naming and I can't edit the comment anymore.

Sadly I'm guessing the seamless interchange (we've seen the ads where people writing something in MS Word on their desktop continues on the sofa on a tablet) requires you to sign in to a cloud service. I'm still a cloud-skeptic (e.g. with Google randomly blocking access to files because of presumed hash-collisions), I guess if I really cared about the seamless integration I'd have to look into OwnCloud.
I have a very similar natural sleep cycle, it's actually a struggle for me to fall asleep before 23.00 even though I need to be in bed at 00.00 to get a proper 8-hour sleep on a 9-17 job.

It sucks, since I'm a kid, I'm more productive and alert from 20-01 than from 13-17. I've tried multiple times to adjust my schedule, be more of a early morning person, ultimately I always fall back into my natural cycle. I feel like the accepted schedule in society does not suit me, it's a small struggle everyday to adapt to it.

I'm now 34 and just accepted I will live my days a little bit tired while holding an office job, and accepted that I will waste the hours I feel are most productive to me so I can fit into the general office hours schedule.

"...copyright was 10 or 20 years"

Nice thought but unlikely give the copyright bloodhounds about. A better short-term approach would be to change copyright to make access to orphan and neglected works legal so long as one has no pecuniary interest in them. This would free up huge swathes of copyrighted works.

Whilst that makes sense, it is opposed by new/existing copyright holders who see the freeing up of these works as competition—even if the orphaned works bear little resemblance to the new works (which is usually the case)—on the grounds that making these works available 'dilutes' the market for newer works (a spurious argument if ever I've heard of one). Another objection comes from a mob of carpetbaggers who want access to them for commercial purposes, that is if said works ever become available (all sorts of strange arrangements have been proposed). Thus the stalemate continues, nothing is done.

No wonder piracy exists.

BTW a while back I posted a link on YouTube to a 1920s audio recording whose author died about 80 years ago only to get a note from Google that someone still claimed copyright over the work. Seems this lark is done automatically by the mischievous copyright lobby even if there is no such claim by the original author. Incidentally, Google didn't remove the work (presumably on grounds that they were already aware of the 'scam' but were obliged to advise me anyway in case I objected).

Right, the copyright system stinks as presently constituted.
