> Lemme guess, you're in the Netherlands.

No, Spain using Digi, which is a Romanian company. 10Gbit is only available in cities where Digi has their own fiber/equipment. When you’re in an area where the fiber is shared it’s 1Gbit max for same price.

> You folks have awesome internet because you force the local loop to be unbundled.

I don’t know what this means (although I can maybe guess). Can you explain it for sake of clarity?

> Nobody with bundled local loops will get pricing+performance like this; please don't raise peoples' expectations.

10Gbit sure, it’s not available everywhere. However, symmetric gigabit fiber is standard in many countries in Europe and elsewhere. Typically with 5+ major providers and local ISPs to choose from.

I lived in the US for a long time. I had to suffer the sub-par quality of cable, arbitrary price hikes and random downtime from shitty cable tech. You should absolutely raise your expectations. Complacency will do nothing but entrench the abysmal situation.

Iirc, there are several of studies that imply that if you have the same developer working 40 vs 32 hours, the difference in output is often negligible, since not all hours worked are the same in terms of effectiveness.

You might not be aware of that effect, since you deny it explicitly when it comes to your own work, but you might view it in a different light if you turn it around:

Would you produce twice as much if you were to work 80 hours? Probably not, right? You'd maybe produce about 1.5 times as much, and the quality of your work would suffer greatly, leading to more work in the future.

The same effect might work in the other direction, up to a certain point.

The 40 hour work week is not god-given, in fact it has been reduced quite a number of times in the past (mostly due to unions, like most working condition improvemens). So I can not understand why so many people act as if it were set in stone.

As long as it’s actually cheap that’s not an issue. Swapping to a resistance heater when electricity rates cost less than natural gas is a cheap and straightforward way to suck up excess electricity in the winter. Unfortunately, UK fees may prevent ultra low retail rates even if wholesale power is cheap.

A more elaborate system can use predicted rates and thermal mass with heat pumps to dramatically reduce energy costs while also shifting demand to peak production periods.
Sorry that you feel we haven't done a good job of communicating on this. Personally, I think that https://element.io/blog/synapse-now-lives-at-github-com-elem... was pretty comprehensive in explaining the rationale.

> This offers no protection against Element dropping open source entirely the next time they hit a "budget crisis."

IANAL, but I think you have this completely wrong. The clarification to the Apache CLA was added to ensure that if Element ever distributed contributed code as proprietary (i.e. by providing an AGPL exception to someone allergic to AGPL) then we will also have to distribute that code as FOSS. It is *LITERALLY* stopping us from dropping open source.

> the consistent failures in communication constantly make it feel like things are going to implode

I wonder how much of the "consistent failures in communication" are due to FUD, and how much is due to bad comms in the first place...
It's not at all novel. Small businesses in the US typically have a choice (C corps do not AFAIK) to use cash-basis accounting rather than accrual.

Which makes sense. If they're not making large capital investments that they hope will result in revenue over time, they're largely cash flow businesses.
> Essentially, the question is how do you negotiate splitting the rewards of an continued ongoing venture, when both parties already benefit from success.

Close: it's not "both" parties, it's all shareholders, so way more than 2 people to pay. And the "how" is already decided: shareholder vote. And the rewards are already split amongst the shareholders, of which elmu is a large one.

Theoretically, elmu might be able to get even more compensation than that, via shareholder vote. But the court said elmu can't lie to all the shareholders to get them to vote yes (which he was found guilty of having done, thus voiding the previous shareholder vote).

For further discussion, I'd like to focus on the substantive points of the judgement. Some may have personal opinions on the matter, and the judge considered all those personal opinions, judged them, and came to the below conclusions:

- elmu's stock ownership is enough to motivate him, even without a 50 billion dollar additional stock/option grant;

- elmu improperly interfered in Tesla governance to exert undue influence on his own compensation at the expense of shareholders and the company;

- elmu defrauded shareholders to personally enrich himself at the expense of them and the company.

Are these arguable? Well, they were before the judgement, and were indeed argued about. Now that the case is over and the judgement rendered, they aren't. So, I'd like to hear your thoughts on these points now that they've officially and formally been confirmed true.

To your point; we’ve been dealing with a variation of this for decades (maybe even millennia?).

I don't need scaling, why do we need to "scale" everything?

Scaling (and the efficiency that comes with it) is part of the problem, as a matter of fact, it's what normal people actually hate when they see articles about stuff like these bike gizmos, they know that they target scaling- and efficiency-obsessed tech guys, guys that have created much of the problems that most of the normal people are now in. It's the "Google bus guys in San Francisco" situation extended slowly and surely to the whole planet.

Normal people hate that simple and enjoyable stuff like bikes were until not that long ago have become a topic of interest for tech-oriented media entities like Ars Technica.

I wish there was a browser add-on that could regex-replace html source of the page. Then I could write my own deshittfier list. Since I couldn't find any, i'm guessing it's because the plugin APIs won't allow it.

It's not about the IP. They have plenty of resources - Novo Nordisk is the largest cap European company. It's just that scaling of production is hard. It's hard because it's meant to be hard. No need to look for scapegoats here. They are doing everything possible to produce as much as quickly as possible and IP certainly helps them do it sooner (because patents are not infinite duration), rather than harms. If anyone has resources to shore up production facilities, components, people etc. it's them because they can get the most out of it, so it's not like "if everyone tries to do it they will do it sooner".
“ PDF is a fabulous format”

I will never forgive the pain PDF caused me when I worked on a project to parse millions of PDF files from various sources. Just reconstructing paragraphs was a huge effort not even mentioning parsing tables. I think we should do better for something that’s basically a standard. PDF manuals also suck big time.

Cory Doctorow McLuhan Lecture on Enshittification
Really interesting to read about how people change over time. Sometimes I actually try reall hard to stay the same too
Counterfeits have nothing to do with copyright though. Counterfeiting necessarily refers to tangible products which exist in the real, physical world.

There is a huge difference between a genuine product and a counterfeit. There is no difference at all between the original data and copies of it, they are exactly the same. In fact, there is no such thing as an "original" piece of data, they are indistinguishable from one another. You can literally check the authenticity of data via cryptography. Doesn't matter if it came from an "official" source or some "counterfeit" website.

Their use of the word "counterfeiting" to describe copyright infringement is just like their constant attempts to equal it to "piracy". It's part of their propaganda. It's intended to give such "counterfeits" the connotation of being lower quality products.

Ironically, it's the corporations who peddle lower quality goods to paying customers while "pirates" get the high quality products. A 6 MB video game gets blown up into a 100 MB obfuscated mess due to SecuROM, then the "pirates" write an unpacker and release the small and optimized version without any DRM whatsoever. Streaming services send you shitty compressed video with artifacts everywhere, meanwhile "pirates" get uncensored blu-ray remuxes.

Part of the confusion might be that it's pointing in the direction the phone is facing. Which is kind of obvious, but notably doesn't work if you put your phone in an upright phone holder, as many people do in their car.
Being able to feel the state is best. It means when you hit caps lock you know if it is in the wrong state and can hit it again.

What is this comment trying to prove? Having read the article, I don’t see anything in your comment that makes “small criminal being preyed on by the big evil company” any less accurate. It certainly doesn’t flatter Bowser or present him as an antihero, it’s just a sad tale of how cruel and unbalanced “justice” can be in these cases.
I'm one of the grown men who disagree. I don't think treating half the population as pre-criminals, when in reality it's an extremely tiny minority who act in this way, is a particularly good solution. If we were to apply this kind of "solution" to all undesirable behaviours exhibited by deviant minorities of both men and women I doubt there'd be any time for any actual K-12 formal education.

It's a nice applause line though.

And plenty of locals will go elsewhere too. I for one. The morons that effected Brexit should be enough of an example that any other EU country that wants to go the same route has been amply warned about what that will do your country. It's amazing that so many people are utterly blind but then again, live long enough and nothing really surprises you any more.
The hack that worked for my hacking wasn't a hack.

Turns out I have asthma and my bouts of chronic coughing like what you describe seem to have been a symptom of it.

Basically, one cough would trigger more coughs and more coughs would become a coughing fit.

Treating my asthma seems to be working.

Which is to say, treating my previously undiagnosed asthma seems to be working. And in my fifties, it was weird to have to learn how to recognize I was having an asthma attack and hard to develop the habit of hitting a rescue inhaler.

To be clear, I went to various doctors many times over the years to get symptomatic treatment without being diagnosed with asthma. Going all the way back to childhood.

So on the medical questionnaires I would always check asthma-no because I wasn't diagnosed. It's only because my insurance had teledoc and a random doctor said my description of my cough sounded like an asthma symptom that I got diagnosed and began treatment.

So basically my hack for chronic hacking is competent medical treatment. Which is easier said than done.

Good luck.
OpenHermes-2.5 Datasets
I agree (as project lead for Matrix) that we've ended up going much slower than I'd have hoped. The sibling probably has it right that we bit off more than we could chew. However, we've kept doggedly chewing, and after hitting 1.0 back in 2020 we're now gearing up to 2.0 which brings both performance & stability to mainstream levels.

The problems you've described on (presumably) Element Android are precisely why Element just rebuilt the app (as Element X) on a rust SDK which solves encryption & push problems in one place, rather than being split chasing bugs in triplicate across iOS, Android and Web/Desktop. In turn, this explains why the old apps have stalled.
I know that share value is what drives the enshittification. But realistically, what's the role of a regular shareholder in the management decisions? How do they control or even influence such decisions? How do you become criminally liable of management decisions if you buy their share expecting its value to grow? Pardon my naivety. I'm ignorant and curious about the power dynamics at play here.

Good points, they are more similar than I had perceived. The fundamental objective in Bitcoin is the decentralized construction of an immutable ledger (through consensus attained by proof-of-work). It basically is a persistence layer. Whereas the fundamental objective in Nostr is to prevent central censoring of messages, so it's more akin to a communication protocol. However, censorship resistance is also a property of Bitcoin.
Hope of change isn't rational because it more than likely will be change for the worse, not change for the better. The idea that a demagogue is going to come along and as a strong man solve all of your problems is infantile at best and irresponsible at worst. Those that vote in wannabe dictators will get exactly what they deserve.
Yeah, replacing the hash would take a fork. Note that this implementation spends only about 20% of CPU time in SHA-3, so the gain wouldn't be massive. That proportion would probably grow after optimizing the field implementation, but almost certainly not enough to make it worth using a non-standardized, less-tested mode.
> but frankly it is so unrealistic as to border on untrue. It’s a lot to remember.

> you still need to interface with a computer of sorts

You flee a nasty place towards a nice place. Nice places have computers and internet.
I never said it was perfect. I'm saying that if you invest resources, you can accomplish a lot - even if it isn't perfect.

China would be a perfect example of my point: they've succeeded in vastly reducing the amount of censored content available, and the average person has no real desire to work around that.

I really don't get how you think your example disagrees with me - do you think China hasn't accomplished anything there?
We do this where I work and have gotten better results by having each team lead record a Loom video where they talk about their department’s work and purpose with accompanying slides. The new team member watches them and then there’s a meeting calendared with the team lead (sometimes entire department) to do Q&A about the video.

Gives the person more time to digest and think of questions.

We have like 5 departments and aim to get all 5 meetings done by the end of the second week, roughly.

Character rendering and recognition breaks with characters outside plane 0 (BMP), however, normalization seems to still work correctly.
