That's clearly the end game. Windows runs in their walled garden cloud, and you can stream it from any device. Zero customer control, zero ownership, you rent Windows and MS keeps all your files in their cloud, locking you in their platform.

I imagine we'll soon see very cheap, maliciously marketed devices that can only connect to Cloud Windows and be locked down from doing anything locally.

No thanks.
I think there's one major root cause of this: Google. Search has two problems, relevancy to a query but then the sorting of results returned. In Google's early days they emphasized sorting by relevancy/authority related to a query. If you had the foremost site about stunt kites on the web searches for stunt kites would find your site.

But then Google started weighing results for recency. If you wrote a textbook worth of prose about stunt kites and published it all in 2000, there was little need to update the content unless amazing new stunt kite technology was introduced. But when Google started weighting for recency, the definitive stunt kite site dominating results in 2000 started dropping down the ranks for no other reason than its pages didn't have recent dates on them.

This has led to a bunch of problems. For one it punishes anyone that dared to make a website and then not constantly update it. There's no new seasons of Space Above and Beyond so there's no reason to constantly update a fan site about the show.

Second it punishes sites for maintaining a history of content. It's super difficult in Google to search for a topic more than a few years old unless it's got a Wikipedia page.

Third it helps bullshit SEO where some old blog post just gets a new timestamp and maybe a few words changed and Google thinks "oh boy brand new content!"

This powers combine to form a shit Voltron with an inability to find anything that doesn't abuse the shit out of Google.

There used to be some good ways to aid in discoverability before everyone decided XML was icky. If small web search engines actively support such things they could greatly help discoverability.

The Friend of a Friend[0] (FOAF) project is a decent solution to this problem. Not only could you define data about yourself but links to other people. It was useful in that it made distinct the difference to a person's homepage and blog which might not be the same. The Sitemap XML spec[1] is useful for providing a map on your own site to the benefit of crawlers.

Why not support both?

Let one communicate from a computer (or phone) with a username+password account, with people who use the service with phone number account.

This without the mechanism Whatsapp uses, where you can use it in a web browser, but it's still linked to your phone.
A bit handwavy, but allowing sign-up without a phone number could massively increase bot/spam traffic and ultimately increase hosting costs for Signal.
Now the question is how do you do effective profiling for this kind of project? The performance is a little iffy.

What would you recommend to use instead of Signal?
> Since they e.g. don't really get hurt if their customers' private info is leaked

I don't know, that could depress future customer retention and hurt the business. Seems like it would run afoul of the Matt Levine Everything is Securities Fraud theory.
It would have very particular ethical trade-offs, but they could just make signing up without a phone number a paid option. That has the advantage of actually turning a cost center into a profit center, at the distinct disadvantage of creating a moral hazard by the exact same virtue.
The cloud tax is crazy (especially bandwidth). Pretty sure Signal has reached the scale where they would be cheaper by building their infra, maybe starting with the most expensive (storage + bandwidth), and then doing others.

SMS is (unfortunately) core to the product, so I'm not certain how they could make it cheaper, while retaining the same properties (user+pass registration would be a nightmare for spam and change the UX).
Don't forget media!
I hate the settlements as much (or more) as the next guy, but I respectfully disagree. West Bank is not Gaza. Israel FORCIBLY removed all of the settlements from Gaza in 2006, and look where this got us. There is nothing going on in Gaza, and that's still the source of the conflict, the West Bank is chill in comparison. Also, when Israel left the settlements in Gaza they left behind factories, crops, housing, everything. Did Palestinians move there? Use the resources? No, they turned them into terrorist training grounds. :|

I think the settlements are terrible, and we should destroy all of them, but this is just classic PR switcheroo. As I said, West Bank is not Gaza, they have a different government, the West Bank is flourishing and the quality of life there is great. Leaving Gaza and removing all the Israeli forces from there ended up being worst, not better for the people of Gaza.
100% true in my experience. Literally anything else is far better when it comes to bloat, including C#, RoR etc.

Increasing the Java heap size just makes it so that when garbage collection eventually hits, it causes an even more massive slowdown across the entire application.
Killing people that “happen to be in the way” is actually a war crime FYI. Should that be changed?
SPAM story time:

Years ago I was involved with a very quirky woman. One day, apropos of nothing, she blurts out, "SPAM bounces!". I asked her, do you mean like the emails bouncing? And she said that no, she meant the canned meat. It was jiggly, it bounces. So, being the experimental physicist that I am, I felt this needed to be tested. Immediately we went to the store and bought a ruler, a can of SPAM, as well as a can of Treet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treet , per Wikipedia not to be confused with an actual treat) for use as a control and drove to a nearby parking lot.

I opened both cans and held one of each can-shaped meat chuck in each hand, with SPAM jelly dripping down my fingers. I held the ruler upright under one foot, while my girlfriend got close to the pavement to eyeball the bounce height. On a count of three, I tossed both meat-bricks at the ground with what I felt was approximately equal force. The SPAM did not bounce. It splatted on the asphalt and broke up into a dogfood-like consistency. The Treet on the other hand, bounced like a rubber eraser, getting more than 2 inches of bounce height.

Of course, this was a very poor experiment. The acceleration force was not calibrated, and eyeballing the bounce height with a ruler was not very accurate. Using cooked SPAM or a non-canned meat may have made a better control item than Treet. And it is impossible to calculate the standard deviation with a single test. Nevertheless, I feel like I learned something.

To clarify - iMessage does not use SMS if you're going from Apple to Apple device and both devices have data/wifi available. iMessage refuses to support messaging to Android clients and defaults to SMS for these messages.

I've got an Android phone so all iMessage transmissions come across as SMS (or MMS).
It said "while being cared for in a healthcare facility." You can watch people and not leave dangerous objects around the room.
They need to dump sms entirely. Use on device private keys. If users mess it up, it’s on them. People need to get educated about how to manage private keys.
or cloakatively clichéd.
Using phone numbers as identifiers (and by extension users' phone books as a contact discovery mechanism) is probably at least equally significant as a factor for WhatsApp's success.
I think there are bus services that run between the Algarve and Lisbon, I've had friends use them before.
I prefer ordering via software and busing myself. Save a bunch of money not feeling like I should tip and the order is more likely to be accurate. And I save time not having to wait for waiters.
If the team that came up with the prototype assumes that responsibility, then no, I don't. I'm sure an AI will understand how to refactor the codebase on an adhoc basis without creating any problems down the line.
Pretty cool to see this quantified. Although they're judging each model with a different model, I'd be curious to have some accuracy on that. I'd also be really interested to have the task done by a human (or group of humans, say MTurk) and see how the accuracy compared.
You could do both, no?
But the US is not the only first world country.

I live in one and my salary is a little less than 30k and I'm not a junior. My junior colleagues are at around 20k, so for them it's actually 10%.
QR code menus are just annoying. Scrolling is significantly worse than pages, because at least with pages you can have a page bookmarked with your finger and flip back scan quickly if you saw something you liked. And trying to do a shared order for a table on a phone sucks.
In the US, shafting customers as hard and fast as you can is the current business model. What are they going to do? Move to 1 or 2 remaining competitors with the exact same business model?
I agree broadly with the article’s position but I think locks are more harmful than helpful. When I was a Quip user (2018) it was super frustrating to get locked out of a paragraph because someone’s cursor idled there. Instead just allow LWW overwrites. If users have contention and your sync & presence is fast, they’ll figure it out pretty quick, and at most lose 1-2 keystrokes, or one drag gesture, or one color pick.

Notion is “collaborative” and we don’t use a CRDT for text, it’s all last-write-wins decided by the server. However our LWW texts are individually small - one block/paragraph in size - and adding/moving/removing blocks is intention-preserving if not perfectly convergent.

As the article says, the downside for LWW is that “offline” / async collaboration isn’t so great. That’s why we’re working on switching to CRDT for our texts. If you’re interested in bringing CRDTs to a product with a lot of users, consider joining Notion’s Docs team - https://boards.greenhouse.io/notion/jobs/5602426003 / @jitl on Twitter / jake@makenotion.com

Once upon a time, I was furious with my 4th grade science teachers for teaching me LIES... the Niels Bohr Model of the Atom, bringing coathangers and styrofoam balls to school on the bus when TRULY the atom was an electron cloud of probabilities, etc. etc.

All that time wasted, all those coathangers and styrofoam ball USELESS because that wasn't what was really going on.

Cue several years later and I'm trying to model my kitchen in sketchup to figure out if something is going to fit, or if some remodeling project is worthwhile or even feasible.

I start measuring and modeling the countertops, and question: do I need to account for the countertop overhang, or can I just treat them as cubes? I needed the overhang.

Do I need to account for the "toe-kick" (cutout where your feet go instead of banging the cabinets)? Maybe?

What about the cabinet doors? Further: what about the inlays? The handles? What about the insides? The supporting structures, the screws and studs?

I then thought back to the humble "Niels Bohr Model of the Atom" and forgave my teachers, because I had just then realized: "A model must be just good enough to be useful, and sometimes too much detail isn't helpful (or useful)"

It's an extremely useful perspective to have: First decide the utility (the questions you'd like to answer) and then choose the most effective ROI to get there. Further: having varying levels of "zoom" or detail with different acquisition, maintenance, or usage costs isn't out of the question!

Getting rid of phone numbers would make anonymity easier, but it wouldn't affect privacy. Signal is explicitly private but not anonymous.

In most countries, you can get an anonymous phone number anyway.
but what does this mean in terms of VISA vs MasterCard?
Sounds like a good zoom background, haha
I would pay a subscription fee if only to get back SMS capabilities.
Same people who use WhatsApp for example.

The SMS issue was mainly a problem in the US where people used it for SMS and therefore never mattered since that communication was never secure. Those people probably never even cared for security since they, as you said even went out there and actually uninstalled an app. Something people seem to rarely do.

I use it for friends, family and colleagues. People now started asking me for it (or safe alternatives to Facebook Messenger) since Facebook started asking people to pay for non-targeted ads recently. They actually got people to think about the data they share with an outdated social network.
It’s the building a social network part that’s frictionless not creating user name process that’s frictionless.

It's easy to say that "you should do x" from the bleachers but when you're in the arena you run up against reality. For example, Signal had a blog a while ago about how they tried to avoid the sms features, actually for privacy reasons, but they found people just didn't use other alternatives. Here's a reddit thread of users advocating for SMS support https://www.reddit.com/r/signal/comments/y3ymfl/keep_sms_sup... .

So it was the best of all the available options practically, if they wanted to grow and retain the users.
We did something like this at Weebly for stats. The app sent the stats to a local service via UDP, so shoot and forget. That service aggregated for 1s and then sent off server.
out of everything here, I think it's this line that bugged me the most:

"in a book (or movie or tv show) the reader can either keep reading, or stop. that's it. that's as far as their agency can go."

At best, this is overly naive. At worst, it feels like intellectual dishonesty.

I can start or I can stop. I can rewind a chapter, forget about it for a month, pass out listening to an audio book. Some times, depending on my mood, the book, and my interaction with that book can be dramatically different. And all these things are going to change my perception and interaction with that book.

Even if it's a book I've read before and know how it ends, there is a lot more that feed into "agency" than just 100% on or off.
Well for one, virtual threads would be implicit blocking and this style is explicit.
It has nothing to do with the browser, it has to do with how opinionated your framework is.

VB was highly opinionated; it made native windows-style UIs and nothing else. Nobody was taking arbitrary mockups from designers, with a wildly custom look-and-feel, and replicating them down to the pixel in VB.

Today, most product GUIs are part of the brand. For better or worse, every company wants a distinctive look and feel and set of UI behaviors. This requires the tools used to build them to be much more complicated.

You could replicate VB in a browser. Many people have done roughly that. But nobody uses them to build products, because their company doesn't want boring/generic UIs.
There is no problem if things are consistent.

Im saying it is a problem if the "presentation" is adapted to have inconsistent or contradictory messages based on the target audience. Surely you would agree that is an indication of propaganda, opposed to a true statement of belief.

Once you agree that, then the question is if different Al-Qaeda statements are consistent across different audiences.

The US letter answers(Q1) "Why are we fighting and opposing you?" Bin Laden gives about 30 reasons, none of which have to do with the religion of the US.

Q2) "what do we want from you?" is a mixed bag of religious and political demands.

I primarily addressing your question:

>what's propaganda about adapting your presentation to the target audience? Just in general?

My answer was it becomes a problem IF you are contradictory.
I think I understand your comment, since iMessage isn't SMS, but defaults to SMS for those not using it.

There are opensource self hosted solutions like BlueBubble that allow reasonably secure communication through iMessage to the other chat platforms on desktop/Android etc. I have zero affiliation, but I know others who happily use it. There are also less secure and paid solutions I can't speak to.

https://bluebubbles.app/faq/
much agreed. I used deadlocks as an extreme example that's easy to reason about and straight to the point of "something independent of cpu cycles". something more realistic would be IO operations taking more time than expected. you would not want this to be blocking execution for hard rt tasks.

In the case of the kernel, it is indeed too large to be considered hard realtime. Best case we can make it into a firmer realtime than it currently is. But I would place it nowhere near avionics flight calculators (like fly-by-wire systems).
In the case of GP, I believe they're referring to legitimate intent of the bot owner.

I personally don't believe the suggestion of over-reporting is an issue at all. I recall reading that in the VAERS back end they can see which entries are made by individuals vs a doctor or doctor's office, so this could be easily verified.

I also recall reading that the majority of entries made in VAERS are by medical professionals but I can't locate the source for that.

> stubbornly use iMessange.

Personally, I prefer it over downloading yet another client, dealing with additional credentials, wondering about who can access my messages, and so on and so forth…

And all that just to message the handful of people that I know who use <popular in other country third party app>.
Exactly. Open doesn't mean "we will pay all of the bills so that you can enjoy these resources for free".

Open means "we will not take any legal action against sharing and/or modifying these files".

Open projects can have all the ratelimits and paid APIs that they want, as long as they are okay with people setting up mirrors and re-hosting content for free.
As I understand it, you have to often use multiple gateways based on which one is cheaper and can deliver your message to the recipient, and also take care of handling retries in case one gateway fails. This is not something you typically want to handle if you're not aware of it, and the process of having to talk to each vendor and figure out their limitations is tedious.
As a customer, I view customer loyalty programs as being hostile to customers and view companies that use them in a dimmer light. They're just used to make it easier to spy on people.

Why not both?

If I want discoverability, let me provide my phone number.

If I want privacy, just assign a random identifier.
Sure, preference is subjective. What is objective is that JSX is very constrained. Both because it lives inside another language (JavaScript) and by design.

It must only return a single element, you can’t add arbitrary attributes, its control flow syntax seems (subjectively) bolted on, etc.

When you’re coming from a language where you can print anything, it's very frustrating.

Ah, I see what you mean. That's not what I'd call iMessage though, that's just SMS:

The iOS application is called "Messages"; iMessage is the over-the-top Apple-exclusive messaging service.
FTA: "Signal spends around $2.8 million dollars per year on bandwidth to support sending messages and files (such as photos, videos, voice notes, documents, etc.) and to enable voice and video calls."
This is the right decision for now. gov officials have access to lots of data that should not en up in OpenAIs servers. Long-term they should have their own inhouse or some ministry of digital infrastructure.
I agree to an extent.

I agree that for you style is getting in the way of the message.

I don't agree that it's clear from the writing that the author is desperate, or wants to impress you.

Instead I speculate that the author does not care what > you < think: I believe that the author is not writing for "you", at least not the you that is in your current state of mind. I speculate that they are writing for somebody who's in a more freeform kind of word poetry state of mind.

I mean that's the only kind of conclusion I can come up with reading the article because it is clearly non-strunk & white english. So that leads me to think okay this is probably poetry or prose of some kind of whimsical or rhyming form.

And then I reread it and I see the words are closer to a stream of consciousness, as is talked about in other comments here. They're a little bit more structured than a stream of consciousness, in my view because the words appear to evoke feelings like notes in music, to a degree.

The overall point of the article, as it appears to be overtly stated in the footer, to help writers to be effective at writing for video games. And this post specifically is about pulling emotions from the writer into the video game that are appropriate to the meandering experience of a player.

So I liken the presentation here to be less conventional technical structured writing and more a song or a tune. And that's how I find this article useful.
