I'm not the person you're replying to, and I don't have the evidence you're asking for. However, China isn't stupid. Rather, they've often shown to be rather cunning, and it's impossible to know all the ti

I agree. However, this article crosses the line IMHO. With some lines as: > Zuckerberg in particular has minimal capacity to communicate the way human beings naturally do. > For every question directed to him, he paused for several se

Like climate change, the problem isn't just extinction itself, but more so the rate. As you note, animals have gone extinct all throughout history, and well before our ancestors stopped dragging their knuckles around. The problem is th

I'm not sure I'd call it solid, but it's an interesting take. However, I believe there's a very good reason that the various markets have went to the subscription model- there's a difference mentally between payin

Yup. So there is undoubtedly some bias / ulterior motives in here.

I don't think that's caused from the culture around unions so much as it's caused by the culture around capitalism. There are plenty of scummy niches that people have found ways of getting paid for. Everything from consultant

The problem is that the other guy is saying the same thing you are. The radical left and the radical right both think each other's points are dangerous. And the moderates are pointing at both sides and claiming the same thing. From

I can't speak for globally, but a quick search online says that around 43 million people in the USA don't have broadband. "Broadband" meaning 25/3 service. I'm willing to bet the true numbers are significantly

Since they use regional pricing, doesn't it make sense that it would require a service address before they can show you the price? Besides, it's not like if you click that Order Now button that it instantly places an order and a S

Companies like Intuit have successfully lobbied our government to halt any sort of bill that would make it better. The entire thing could be easily automated; other countries have proved that. But then Turbo tax wouldn't get to rake in

Google the corporation? Sure. Many of the managers and workers at Google? Quite likely have a stake in what goes down on Wall Street.

I don't think they remove the reviews outright though. They detect it, label it, and offer both a "recent reviews" and "all-time reviews", as well as a visual graph to show you the trend. A far better approach than

I agree that it's technically feasible but that's not going to help me right now. It would require all services use the same encryption (or at least understand a common, compatible one) and I don't see that happening, ever.

Because that's not how this works. The bridge has to have the unencrypted text, because it's the bridge that is communicating with WhatsApp/Signal/IRC/whatever. The client isn't the bridge, it's not comm

by TheCraiggers 6y ago
Wait, how is this possible? There's an obvious integration point between your bridge server and the other service. They don't talk the same encrypted protocol, obviously, so you have to send plain text at some point in that proces

Because I can install Signal on my Grandma's phone and it "just works". Sharing pictures, phone calls, etc, all work the same way she's used to. Matrix is just not there yet. Hopefully soon, but not now.

I suppose this is a matter of opinion, but for many the worst feature of WhatsApp is the fact Facebook has access to most of your stuff and its E2E encryption barely worked. Signal being centralized and tied to a phone number are design cho

Toppling is not always instant. Sears took decades to finally die (and if not for some questionable management decisions, might not have). And like I said, it's not always absolute. A large company can still continue on as a shadow of

Take a look at a game called DRAG. It's still in beta, but it has good reviews so far and does have a native Linux version. The devs seem to be pro-Linux. It looks to be very much in the simulation category of racers.

Usually it's the other way. I don't know of any studies (although I'm sure they exist) but after a certain size, companies stop being agile. Too much management, too much protecting what they have rather than seeking out the

Synchronize the clocks how? Last I knew, this was still impossible, unless you employ hand-waving. If I synchronize two clocks next to each other, and then move one away, they are no longer synchronized as one was moving. And we still don&#

Probably way easier to just fire up the web browser in that case.
