> There other countries where incarceration works, for example Norway [1]

The Nordic model works in Norway because of Norway's society and culture. It wouldn't work in US, or South Africa or El Salvador because of what level of violence is deemed acceptable in those countries.

You can try to transpose the Nordic model in US all you want it is not going to work because these are different societies bound by different civil contracts and cultures.

Plenty of societies and countries have a prison system that doesn't focus on rehabilitation,at all, yet the level of violence is still inferior to US by a long shot.

No we don’t because those are not allowed on iOS devices, if you want to use payments you need to integrate with Apple Pay.

Apple Pay even supports travel passes these days any use of NFC for payment authorization is supported in currently the most secure implementation we have with high assurance for privacy.
The point is that Euro is dysfunctional because there is not a enough fiscal capacity implemented in the design. Some of us think that it's probably politically implausible to implement that capacity because the narrative of the 'lazy neighbor'.

Presumably some lands in Germany are deficitary (or states from the USA) why the population there don't experiment the same problems? Because they have a real union.

Currently the ECB is covertly financing countries of the European Union buying their debt in the secondary market [1]. This is against the agreements [2], but if it's not done will be the end of the Euro. How is not that a dysfunctional currency area?

What if Apple comes up with some new invention for the charging cables in a year or two, for example some even faster Quick Charge that USB C can't handle?
Not true. PDAs used mini USB way before the first iPhone came out (and a lot of PDA users were very unhappy with their proprietary plug). The threatening came way after the plugs were already standardized on USB. Remember that smartphones are not evolution of mobile phones, but PDAs and MDAs - that had mini USBs for a long time before any smartphone has existed. This started at least around 2003 and around 2007, it was already clear that not using USB is a disadvantage, and in 2008/9 it was irrelevant what "dumb" mobile phone manufacturers are doing as it was clear that smartphones have won in the long run.

Regulating something that is not a problem anymore is typical EU propaganda move. After they did it, they flooded our TV and newspapers with ads saying "we saved you" - they forgot to say that dumb phones wouldn't be a problem anyways, though, and no one else was interested in proprietary plugs.

Why is having several different cables and adapters a greener configuration than just having a single charger?
survey the moon for good locations to build a habitat, possibly inside some cavernous natural structure, or simply by digging on the surface. develop machinery to build said habitat and possibly launch it to the moon and build a habitat there complete with solar cells for energy and some sort of life support system.

operation of the base probably does not fit into this budget. or at least not for long.

lots of possibilities for unforeseen complications here, hard to know how far you'll actually get on a given budget. this might be entirely optimistic.
If we keep pouring software development resources into such silly things, I can totally understand why we're in an automation crisis.
I think Apple may have even been eyeing a migration to USB-C for its phones and tablets, but held it back to avoid pissing off their customers after the (relatively) recent switch from the old 30pin connector.

This provides them with the perfect excuse for going ahead while avoiding (or redirecting) a bit of customer rage which would result.
How about your Smart TV? There are more devices than just phones.
The "51,000 tons of waste" number comes from the original 2009 EU campaign that led to the near-universal adoption of USB you see today. It's outdated and doesn't fit in an article written today.
The point is to make people to pay for what they wanted. In my case if a fast charger were optional, I would skip it. Each day I need to sleep for >=7 hours and fast charger does not change that.

>, or it could mean hundreds of fatalities as the poor job you did caused the tanker to collide with a shopping center.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. The vast majority of the time mechanical failure results in the vehicle coming to a stop on the shoulder without anything spectacular happening. Think about all the trailer blowouts where the only damage was to the underwear of whoever was nearby. We do things (like install cotter pins, on steering, not in tires, or not intentionally at least) to prevent those sorts of failures because there's a small chance of something spectacularly bad happening (and because downtime is $$ and if you're broken down on the side of the road the DOT vultures will turn up out of nowhere and find a reason to make your downtime even more $$).
Depends on what content-addressable storage you mean specifically. IPFS (disclaimer: I work on IPFS) handles this by using IPNS together with your PeerID. As long as you have the ID of who the "someone specific" is, you can listen for their published changes. The changesets themselves are immutable, but IPNS provides a mutable naming layer on top of that.

Correct. This strategy has been used before but I mentioned Putin because he has perfected it. I see the same tendency in Trump with his "fake news".
I agree with this. Lightning seems like a mostly dead standard, being kept on life support because it allows a slightly thinner device. I seriously doubt I'll ever buy another Lightning cable to charge a device; the ones I have now are high enough quality that I expect they last longer than the devices I have, and the next generation will charge wirelessly.
Goodness, why can't Facebook just be a site used to connect people together? Nothing more, nothing less.

How is sharing financial information helping me to connect with my high school buddies?
That seems like the perfect plan, in my opinion, and I'm surprised why Apple hasn't done it already. Those who already have an Android phone with wireless charging quickly find the USB port useless, especially since Google removed USB mass storage support a few years back and replaced it with some awful MTP implementation that never fucking works. It would certainly fit Apple's image to have a sleek, futuristic looking device like that.

That automatically puts pressure on manufacturers to standardize things and made them think twice before introducing incompatible charger/cable.
I have heard that in Japan a "foreigner" might live in Japan for forty years, be fluent in language, culture, and custom, and yet still called a foreigner and not Japanese; I have heard likewise that that is not the case in Taiwan, ie to be Chinese is to act Chinese. What do you think?
The pictured adapter is the standard one. What do you think you're imagining exactly? Kindles don't come with a charger? That seems a bit silly, for a device that has to charge...

You can use this adapter to charge your phone, or power your chromecast. It's not automatically junk if either of the two aforementioned devices should ever become junk, like the traditional "wall-wart" with randomly sized barrel plugs, or some other standard.

If anything is strange, it's that seemingly this law takes no account of non-USB devices that don't have any reason to plug into a computer, and may have variable power requirements other than 1A or 2.1A provided by USB at 5V. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to have a common standard, it's a shame there aren't more of them /s

Also wondering what happens under this law when USB-C comes around? It's been a while since I've seen a new phone that doesn't use USB-C here stateside, but according to this law I would think that to be impossible and illegal. (So how does that shake out in practice?)

Not necessarily. It is true that more money in the hands of tenants means landlords will try to increase rent as much as possible. But the introduction of any significant basic income would have wide-ranging knock-on effects, changing the price of pretty much everything. It would increase the influx of money to deprived areas, and at the same time make people a little less dependent on moving to where the good jobs are.

The result could be that today's high demand areas see less demand, with rents actually going down. Or it could be quite different. What I'm sure of, however, is that any simple model fails to capture the changes.
The name "open source" had not even been coined at the time. "PD" was a popular contemporary prefix for things, although their actual public domain status was legally questionable, irrespective of the FSF's objections to the idea.
Or what if they invented a better wireless charging system than Qi? The EU is basically saying innovation is dead. At this rate they'll be requiring all phones to support Adobe Flash and 3.5 inch IDE hard disks.

I think there's an argument to be made that the canary continuing to live is not sufficient to establish trust, for the reason you outlined. However, given that it is in fact dead, this is sufficient to revoke trust-- as you also pointed out, none of the scenarios are good for them.

As for why they would kill the canary and then backtrack, I think a plausible story could be that the canary was killed by an engineer, and then the backtracking happened by management because they don't want to own the consequences. This could explain why there was a delay between removing the canary and putting out a cover story.

Collectively as an organization, they're either acting in bad faith for whatever reason, or else they're incompetent.

it is not like we forced them to adopt the euro. they wanted it very much. they wanted it much more than nations with stable currencies.

i remember when i was on holiday as a kid around 1999 when the banking euro was introduced there were all these signs with prices in ECU (European Currency Unit). Back home everything was still in Guilders. My dad told me it would yet be a long time before greece would be financially stable enough to adopt the euro. yet they wanted it so much they used some creative bookkeeping to get in the same time we in holland did. was that the smartest thing ever? maybe not. but it was their choice. perhaps if the books had not been cooked, we would not have accepted them into the euro. And they would not be in this situation.

It was entirely because of the EU as to why most smart-phone manufacturers switched to USB. It wasn't really a law per-say but more of a MoU[0] (which means it's entirely voluntary). Apparently, having them comply with it voluntarily didn't work out so well, which is why they want to enforce it as a law[1].
