Their core feature is secure messaging, so I’d say this result highlights their dedication to the secure aspect of it. So an excellent feature in terms of branding, and probably has more benefits in other places e.g. attracting talent, as developers now can see Signal offers great opportunities to work on complex problems.

So I’m curious; what do you think would be better investment of their time?

Now that’s smart!

If I’m not AI, can I lie and pretend that I’m AI? I’m AI, btw.

Thank you for the explanation! 😊

I’m still in doubt of what a tankie is, even though I’ve now seen it mentioned 1000 times. Also why is it called that?

Good point!

Aha I misunderstood, thanks for clarifying.

Actually for this specific context, there’s an easy solution: I reckon for llms self-hosting would be the way to go, if your hardware supports it. I’ve heard a lot of the smaller models have gotten a lot more powerful over the last year.

This is any company, government, or other organisation with +80 employees. The two other alternatives are

1. Have all data in Excel with no data governance, robust procedures, or trust in data, as the organisation grows in size
2. Use only external tools (which in turn are owned by organisations that work like I described in my parent comment)

I’d love to hear of there’s other ways of doing this stuff that actually works, but so far I just haven’t experienced it in my career yet.

As a person working in a field close to data engineering this sounds like they’re actually honest about the process.

Tldr: it’s not possible to “just delete” everything at once, even though we’d love to be able to.

There’s so many layers of where information is stored, and such insane amounts of data in their data platform. so running a clean up job to delete a single persons data in oltp databases, data lakes, dwh’s, backups, etc, would both be expensive and inefficient. Instead what they then do is to do it in stages: flip a flag somewhere (is_deleted = true) which lets it be removed from view initially, and then running periodic clean-up jobs.

i see, thank you.

I think it’s just 3-4 in each direction, so if so something bad and you’re old, it would affect your grandkids, and if you’re young it would affect your grandparents

as rumor suggests

From Wikipedia:

Numerous testimonies of North Korean defectorsconfirm the practice of kin punishment (연좌제, yeonjwaje literally “association system”) in North Korea, under which three to eight generations of a political offender’s family can be summarily imprisoned or executed.
