I was replying to someone asking if it was "exact"… and no it isn't… You listing a bunch of simulations, that are notoriously not 100% correct proves my point, thanks.
You assume that it's the same type or level of documentation, official communication with regulatory offices might require a lot more work than answering a passenger.
Yeah, using your own domain name is an interesting solution to the nomadic identity problem. I still want to look at how Mike Macgirvin from Hubzilla/Zot is handling it, because he seems to be obsessed with solving this particular issue.

I was still naively thinking in terms of redirects from your old instance to your new one, but that's not going to help you if your old instance vanishes in thin air.
Either way, Threads runs very lightweight, and can easily go 10 years with no revenue.
Yes, this is one of many reasons why Snap sucks.
Credit card penetration doesn't say much in a country where banks are giving them out for free. Usage rate is quite different from penetration rate.
Thanks for these tips!
But - I suspect there’s something of a tension in your advice between ‘wanting to treat people like humans’ and ‘wanting to scale communications to achieve business goals’- that you haven’t resolved. I’m not going to feel more connected with your product/ firm because you sent me an email tailored to the middle-aged somewhat overweight bloke segment, for example. There’s nothing wrong with announcing your fantastic new product to a million (segmented!) folk in the hope that 1,000 of them will be interested enough to take a look. But that’s a different thing entirely from genuine connection, no?
Since you are a Unix develope, listen to the guys that invented the technology we are talking about. Release your huge ego and read literature on AI alignment and problems. I will not talk with technical terms to a Unix dev. Know thyself.

I will leave you with some food for thought. First read some of the relevant literature, don't argue with shower thoughts. Second think: car manufacturer comes and tells you if you overheat the car it may explode. Wife is a teacher says "nah I know better than the manufacturer it will not". You put your kids in trusting manufacturer or wife? In this case, all top level ai lab heads have a different opinion than the Unix guy.

> I can't see what's so destructive about snaps

The implementation is shit.

Things take 10 times as long to start.

There are annoying 'Turn off firefox so snap can update it' messages. Nothing happens when you stop firefox, you'll just get the same message a few hours later.

Shutdown is going to take ages for some reason because it's waiting for snap to do something.

I don't give two shits about whatever snap is trying to do, but having to wait 10 minutes for my workstation to be useful whenever I want to reboot is not what I'm about.
The CCTV thing is general to the EU due to the GDPR. It happens in Spain too, for example.
Let the West ban that movie too, it won't happen again.
I just deleted it.

The last time HN said "Time to ditch Evernote!", I figured I should take a look at what I've stored and see what I should keep and what I should junk. After looking at the data, I realized that these tools are black holes of information. Things go in and never come back out again. Habitually storing information I'll never look at again is the digital version of hoarding. It was a compulsion and I needed to stop. So I deleted it.

I "replaced" it with obsidian in the sense that I still need somewhere to keep track of things I'm actively working on. I don't much like it, though. I wished there was a WYSIWYG note taking app that allowed you to easily embed images and videos.
By that Logic, Windows is the ultimate winner in the console wars. But people don't seem to compare hardware to software that way.

It's quite funny that you take a theft from a store as your example but I am not so sure this is something "normal people" care about, only store owners. Especially when impoverished "normal people" rely on shoplifting to get clothes and food on the table. Stores are not a one person venture or family owned anymore, a franchise at best or part of big group. They're capital. Most "normal people" don't own capital in my little corner of the world
I guess most of us see normal people as a collection of our self.

As a normal person, I don't care about petty shoplifting but I would expect from the state for example to investigate murders.They're poorly investigated in general because they are hard to clear and you can't put them in your stats whereas arresting a youngster and taking his weed counts as a solved case.
If you mean for personal use? I tried various note taking apps before I settled on Joplin.

I like that its open source and has a community that is helpful and people are always wrting extensions for it. Also the cross device syncing works really well with dropbox and I was already using that service.

Its not perfect but I much preferred it something like notion personally which felt overkill in terms of power/features, fiddly and had an awful mobile experience
> By your logic, people who call emergency services when a building is on fire are "alarmists".

By my logic, people who call emergency services when the room temperature rises 1 degree are "alarmists". The building is not on fire. We are not headed towards extinction, not even close. How do you explain that the world has gotten significantly better over the last century despite warming over one degree?

My position is that this "extinction" fear you speak of makes absolutely no sense. And any attempt to prevent warming through economically harmful policies will likely have a greater negative impact on humanity.
Least worse option probably.
Blaming the researchers for whatever sensational and misleading headline apnews puts on their work isn't really fair. Be better.
The multiple notifications often bother me, but I think it's a problem with the messaging app, not with the sender. It shouldn't send a new notification for each message if it just sent one a few seconds ago.

The worst are the bots that can't figure out what you're trying to ask about and _refuse_ to turn over to a human because you the end user clearly aren't in what they are good at.
I wouldn't say it's unnecessary. Owning your identity is the worst problem in modern social networking. You have one identity. You. The idea you need to keep registering, providing emails, phones to everyone, picking usernames (often different) which can be impersonated, in order to create account which then can be banned at whim by private company moderators and so on... this is not the way.

I don't know if domains are the way either, but at least they're a name reservation system that's established and works. At the current price of a domain, it comes down to $1 a month, which is a great value if you can use it to identify yourself with, authenticate, authorize and own your own digital identity.

It can also be cheaper, because if this is a mass service for every person out there, scale will reduce some of the cost.
Ummmm... It sounds like you booked SEA-CDG and CDG-NAP as separate tickets. Huge mistake. In that case, Air France is not obliged by EU law to make arrangements for you to make it for your CDG-NAP flight.

One of the reasons they mention is that "our pricing is confusing".

I didn't see it before, but it's definitely confusing now. The stuff under "Pricing" broadly makes sense, but leaves me wondering about managed database pricing, and then the "usage based pricing" further down says "pick a plan" (I assume from the first section) but then has its own pricing that is significantly higher than "pricing" above, so I'm not really sure how they combine.

Apple compiles the baseband firmware itself, they have control and it’s really doubtful they’d allow the network to just listen in. This is more likely about the use of spyware that is installed on the phone using vulnerabilities in the OS.
>and its why we continuously drink Coke even though there's so many better healthier, tastier drinks

mostly because it's cheaper and everywhere. Even water these days can cost $2 in a standard 16.9 oz bottle. You don't go out to buy a coke because you want the finest drink in the land.
Sounds absolutely awesome haha. Mind if I ask what your job was at the time? What were your interactions with the gun boats like? What exactly were you surveying in the Spratly Islands? Did you ever run into pirates?
A lot of these solutions don't actually mitigate large DDoS attacks, or have enormous loopholes that can be bypassed by a novice attacker. I've heard that OVH's DDoS protection used to let in other OVH servers, for example.

When I checked, some of the equivalents to Cloudflare's lower plans cost hundreds of dollars a month.

You know it's funny that I never noticed this, I always turn off the voice directions since I found them annoying.

But yeah that's an annoying experience if you use voice directions, and in some instances I could see it as really degrading the directions app, since "taking a left at the intersection" may be more clear than "turn left at the kfc"

my first wife back in the 1960s was half Native American, and she introduced me to some tribal shamans. they told me back then what was going to happen; so far it has transpired exactly according to their predictions. when i asked them how they knew, they said, “our grandfathers heard it from their grandfathers, and so on.” when i shared this with my friends back in what is now silicon valley, no one believed me.

yesterday i happened to tell this same story to a friend on the island where i live in south asia. he responded, “oh yes, it is the same with us. our ancestors knew, but nobody listened.”

the powers that be seem determined to fly this thing right into the ground, while we stand around idly discussing it.

Don't jump to conclusions.

They're likely not launching in EU because EU requires user data be stored in EU, and their current launch stack is hosted elsewhere, look at this datacenter map of Meta:

They're mostly in the US, and most outside the EU. Given the record timeline from concept to launch for this app, it's normal they can't whip up a datacenter from nothing overnight.
> My itinerary allowed for just an hour to disembark the first segment, go through immigration in Paris, then board the international segment. This connection was going to be tight—doable, but tight.

Yeah anyone who has been to CDG (Paris) knows that that is very much not doable in normal circumstances. CDG is honestly one of the worst airport experiences of my life and many others say the same. I happily pay more for flights to avoid going through paris.
