https://www.apple.com/ca/batteries/maximizing-performance/

I recall seeing another document on apple.com (that I can't find) that described the behaviour where leaving a macbook plugged continuously cycles between back and forth charge and discharge between something like 90-96% to avoid trickle charge and prevent wear due to heat.

Anecdata: my work laptop has been basically stationary and therefore plugged in for the best part of the last three years, and the battery is in outstanding condition. My personal one has been mobile more often but still plugged in for extended durations, and at four years old its battery is in a similarly awesome condition.

> The concept of intellectual property [...] provides a social good. There is no doubt about that [...]

There's definitely a doubt about that. Not only about copyright but even about patents. Nearly all most influential discoveries were not patented.

And when it comes to copyright there is vast amount of data how disregarding copyright improves peoples lives and economy developments. Outside US there are whole industries running on pirate software thay wouldn't exist if copyright was enforced.
> Dont be naive, things like this happen already even with paper votes. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_train

That's weird. I don't understand that "filling" paper ballots. In France, we get to pick N papers with only one candidate's name printed on each. We then discard and seal in the envelope the papers we want once we're in the "isolation room".

> I agree that's a problem that needs consideration, but we've solved many such issues before.

No, we never had the entire destiny of any one country rely on a single piece of tech running on untrusted devices. Banks can contact any individual if their logins were leaked or if their money transfer appear suspicious; but as votes cast must be kept secret, you can't do anything similar with voting.

> E-voting is a general term that describes methods of voting that involve electronics. While some solutions are indeed terrible, that doesn't mean all are.

Still waiting for a viable solution - so far I don't know of one.
Your solution generates a certificate and leaves it up to the user to setup https.

There are other steps involved, like adding the cert to the trust store (so you don't get invalid SSL warnings). And also changing your application code to use these certificates.

Even if you do that, you are still exposed to a serious security threat: if a bad actor gets hold of your certificate file, they can pose as a legitimate website and steal sensitive data. This security flaw is present with all other script solutions mentioned in this thread.

To overcome these issues, I have built a mac application called HTTPSLocalhost (https://httpslocalhost.com).

- It offers a user interface to add remove local https domains

- Has an inbuilt proxy so you don't need to change your application code

- Is much safer because it deletes the certificate and private keys as soon as the proxy server starts

- It creates a new certificate each time you start the app, to enhance security.

- And of course, like all good things, is free (there is a video demo on the website, the app will be ready soon).

Just like programming languages can only have two out of three concepts ( soundness, completeness, decidability ), the creators of the internet had to choose two out of three concepts ( openness, robustness, security ).

It's theoretically impossible to have a language that is sound, complete and decidable. It's probably also impossible to have an internet that is open, robust and secure.

This could have been a big factor.

I live in Berlin and have not followed this topic closely, and only heard about this not being a typical Google office days ago when Google changed plans. The talk on the street over the last months was always centered on Google wanting to create a big office and the residents not wanting any big corporations there.
The older MacBooks with Firewire had target disk mode where you pressed T on boot, and the MacBook then acted as an external disk to the other host Mac. Very useful for backing stuff up!

I wouldn't call it NIMBYism.

- Most residents in Berlin (and in Germany for that matter) rent their apartments.

- There's a fairly good supply of newly built homes. It's still not enough to absorb the population growth, but it's much better than in many German cities.

People complain because they can see the downside of this influx of tech workers very clearly, while the benefits aren't obvious, at least not yet. Rents have doubled in some areas. Government offices are understaffed. So are kindergartens, schools, ...

While the government is partly to blame, a lot of startups haven taken advantage of Berlin's situation in questionable ways. The time where you could hire cheap developers is definitely over, but it's still very common to underpay and abuse people in non-engineering positions, who very often are interns and freelancers.

Kreuzberg is maybe too emblematic and Google is a scapegoat here, but I can understand the resentment against tech incubators.

Needing that kind of recognition seems unhealthy.

I'm pretty sure both London and Switzerland have cultures (OK, UK culture is mostly just drinking but still...).

Large software hubs generally need to pull in people from around the world, not just USSR. And that's the crux of the problem. London, Berlin, Paris, Zurich are all major international cities - it's easier for people from all around the world to settle down there than in places like Warsaw or Perugia.

The funny thing is that it may have also been an advantage of sorts in hunter gatherer days - as in actually able to survive alone in the wilderness without plenty of prepared tools which is actually a very hard task long term. Bands of people cooperating boost it ensure survival. Given what I know of sensory capabilities in addition to things like lost autistic children in the woods being extra hard to find - while not being prepared to survive.

Given that it is on a spectrum and a slow learning process of coping occurs underdiagnosis is likely - especially among women and girls.

I suspect the case in Silicon valley is a higher degree of traits converging and the social masking being less imbued in addition to concentration. Although if pollution was a provoking factor it would.

Tech is a pretty good setting although people with autism and they may thrive there I think it is way too fast for evolutionary impacts short of massive selective pressure - like the Black Death or pretreatment endemic malaria.

As noted elsewhere, the study accounted for those variables: "Participants in the French study also provided information about their general health status, their occupation, education, income and other details, like whether they smoked. Since people who eat organic food tend to be health-conscious and may benefit from other healthful behaviors, and also tend to have higher incomes and more years of education than those who don’t eat organic, the researchers made adjustments to account for differences in these characteristics, as well as such factors as physical activity, smoking, use of alcohol, a family history of cancer and weight.

Even after these adjustments, the most frequent consumers of organic food had 76 percent fewer lymphomas, with 86 percent fewer non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, and a 34 percent reduction in breast cancers that develop after menopause."

Berlin has a very different attitude to all of this than the UK.

I'm not sure but what is a party if not radical communist when its leader proposes a ban on private flights because "normal people should not be able to afford it", supports nationalization of private property and so on?

I know the leader has departed but obviously he had the party's support. He lost support because of bad election result, not because they didn't agree with him. From my discussion with other significant Green party members that want to nationalize infrastructure companies, ban cars, increase taxation a lot, redistribute wealth in large amounts etc I'm not really sure what else should they be if not radical communists.

Please don't call people who aren't actually fascist "radical fascists" ever again. It's a huge insult here; the fascists killed a lot of my family.

Fun fact for others: We call the Green party "The Watermelons" - because they're green on the outside but red on the inside.
>Pure capitalism specifically doesn't rely on government with anything - even courts and enforcement would be private.

Doesn't make sense to have private courts since anybody with a large enough power (e.g. hired thugs) can take them over.

If you mean that the individuals in such a scheme would agree to pay each to have a "private court/police" enforce their contracts etc, then that's the same as government, just one without voting (and presumably there would be some way to settle how those courts/police would operate too, which might end up as a contract itself, but people will have to agree to its terms first, so there's some voting there too).

>If the government helps a company it's definitely not pure capitalism regardless of what the exact definition is.

How that makes it anything more than wishful thinking though? If the government officials pocket money to favor one company, that's fully compatible with the greed and egoism that's essential for capitalism (according to Adam Smith and co “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest").
