"Signal is a nonprofit because a for-profit structure leads to a scenario where one of my board members goes to Davos, talks to some guy, comes back excitedly telling me we need an AI strategy for profit." So true!

Well, maybe in russia but not in the USA. At least not yet. Check the history of PGP as an example of strong encryption the government was not happy about.

Well, this is the consequence of Telegram's poor privacy choices. Most chats are not end-to-end encrypted, and they could have access to their content. This makes them liable when they refuse governments' requests for such informa

Nice job! This is something I would use. However, the pricing plans are not friendly for occasional users. I maybe use it 10 times a year, but the only option is a monthly subscription. I wish they also had pay-per-use plans. This illustrat

You know, someone can also capture your face while you just walking on the street? Given, the different people require different levels of privacy.

I don't care much about Chromecast hardware, but I wonder if the protocol and application support for casting in apps will survive. I imagine third-party hardware vendors could step in to produce compatible devices. Example use-case: I

He mentions 100 API calls per day. If Yelp offered him a rate of a fraction of a cent per call, it might be a negligible expense that could be offset by past or future sales. If the app has outlived its lifecycle, the end of the free API mi

Just killing your app is an emotional, not a rational, decision. You have a human responding to your emails, so here's a business way to handle this situation: Dear Yelp, Your decision to discontinue the free API was unexpected, and it

Drama aside, the guy signed up for the free Yelp API 10 years ago, which has since been discontinued. He was offered the option to switch to a paid API, which he chose not to consider. Yes, Yelp was a bit clumsy in handling this, but discon

This is a good idea, but it needs more use-cases. Besides helping to write or summarise emails, which is more convenient to do via an email client plugin, the only novel feature it offers is sending reminders. I want more! For example: 1. M

I call this "LLM inbreeding." It's a vicious loop where new models are trained on AI-generated content, resulting in the quality degenerating with each generation.

The title is clickbait. If they did this intentionally, it is much more scandalous and will cause more outrage than just a stupid mistake.

If you go to russia there is a chance of you being arrested on made-up charge just to be used as exchange fund for russian spies or arm dealers arrested in the west. Look up Paul Whelan, Brittney Griner, Michael Calvey, Trevor Reed, and mos

Clickbait title: USPS did not share anything intentionally. They negligently allowed tracking pixels from certain companies on their Informed Delivery page. Of course, it's terrible from a privacy point of view, but let's be hones

I grew up in the USSR and used these things. But I find the dreamy nostalgia in some comments revolting. Ah, funny EГГОГ message! The Soviet regime killed millions of its own people and forcefully subjugated nearby nations, but hey, they ma

Coming from maths, I am confused by use of the term "idempotent" here. Unless we are talking about bootstrapping a compiler and I do not see how it applicable here. Am I missing something?

As someone who routinely formally verifies code, I can confirm that you should not trust yourself. I keep finding bugs and hidden assumptions in the most trivial code or even in code covered with unit tests. In my opinion, formal verificati

This may be a task where LLM (AI) could do a reasonable job. Of course the results need to be reviewed by a human.

Unlike some other commenters, I believe having alternatives to coreutils is beneficial. Since I started using Unix, I've worked with HPUX, IRIX, SunOS, Solaris, *BSD, Linux, Xenix, and probably a few others I've forgotten. This di
