I agree, it isn't normal, and I was scratching my head at the time as to why FCM would deliver the messages near instantly on older android models. The delayed delivery happened on Oreo+ phones. Oddly, I also noticed Whatsapp not delivering messages in a timely fashion (even when I had it opted out of battery saving). Background notifications in general started acting odd for Oreo+ phones.

> There's not enough context here ...

Sadly, actually getting context you can use to debug something like this from FCM is nearly impossible. The end result is you just take a WAG and hope for the best when the app gets in the field.
It could just be a side effect of the more focused nature of the front end web sites - the more you focus on the content, the more you feel the less you feel the need for it.
Serious question. We all realize that the economics of the internet is largely fueled by ads, so why are we so keen to block them? It’s ad revenue that have allowed technology to flourish so strongly over the last two decades.
Peronism: “Third Position Ideology”
These companies provide valuable platforms. If you want to bring competition back, you will need a way to get ubiquitous platforms without the monopolies.

The platforms are going to be provided by decentralization technologies. Such as cryptocurrency, various content-centric networking, p2p everything apps, etc. Federation, where people host open services on servers and connect them is more popular now and may be a significant factor for awhile also. I assume p2p systems will eventually be more widespread once people figure out how to do it, since p2p can scale better/more easily.
In theory I agree, but the somewhat depressing realization is that your data is not especially valuable in and of itself.
The marginal value of your data with respect to 10,000,000 other people's data is almost (but not quite) nothing. The value is in the whole.

It might work well if significantly large groups of people got together and collectively sold their data - say 100,000 or more. That would be kind of cool - "hey we are 100,000 people with X demographics and are willing to share Y data for Z dollars.

Doing it on an individual basis may be a symbolic victory, but that would likely be it. "Personal" data has a huge asymmetry in value. There is some Danny Kahneman in here somewhere - I bet people would value their own data 10x what they value a random person's at.

In my opinion people would on average refuse to sell their data individually because what it is actually worth would almost certainly be lower (probably much lower) than they'd imagine, and that sounds like it would make people sad not happy.
I feel like this is a bit superfluous fear mongering. We are somewhat in control of ourselves, and should be expected to take responsibility for our actions. And this is just another way of using ads to attempt to manipulate us. Overtime we will learn to adjust the influence of ads, just as we have done before. I don't trust the government to fix this entirely, so I think its more important to learn to identify these persuasions, so they don't influence our actions.
Is there any way to use org-mode on mobile? I feel like the best solution would be something where you can take notes on the go too
The rise of design systems, and how its pretty much a must these days regardless of your architecture, kinds of takes care of that. It does mean one of the "micro services challenges", code sharing, hits you from day 1. If one app wants to use Angular and another wants to use React, you now need two implementations of your design system from the get go, and that's likely to be your biggest, most complicated and most expensive to maintain library.

So you usually want to make a tradeoff right out of the gate and standardize the core stack around a specific core set of UI libraries/frameworks. It takes away from the benefits a little, but its worth it. If you grow to ultra large scale you can have multiple implementations (which I think many of the big techs do), but for most its a bad idea.
Wouldn't there also be risk from injecting radioactive tracers? And of course any CT radiation.
I didn't really understand org-mode for a long time either - my problem was that I would read tutorials which gave very detailed descriptions about the various theoretical abilities of org-mode, which are like tools, but left up to the reader the task of determining an overall "goal" or workflow to be accomplished using these tools. So I ended up just working in a single org-mode file, not really understanding which tools I might like to use, how I could use it as an organizational system.

For me, the lightbulb moment came from a couple of blog posts called "Building a Second Brain in Emacs and Org-Mode" [0][1], which outlined an actual workflow (based on Getting Things Done or GTD [1]) and explained how org-mode enhanced it. If you follow along, you may find it helpful to see the author's actual emacs configuration (especially the parts that relate to org-mode) [3], the templates he uses to create projects and e.g. weekly reviews [4], and a talk he gave at an Emacs meetup about his workflow. It could be a little more organized in a single place, but this is the best "tutorial" I've ever found about org-mode.

After implementing this myself, I've found that I use certain parts of it a lot, and other parts not at all. I also found that I prefer to periodically refile org-mode notes into a "knowledge repository" (a series of text files in my org-mode directory), rather than in evernote as suggested, and that this is best managed/browsed (for me) using Deft [6] rather than org-mode itself. So I've also managed to extend the system for my preferences a bit.

Sorry for the brain dump - hopefully this answers your question a bit.

Those strategic holes are probably worth more to the acquiring company than the price they paid in terms of new revenue.
This is bullshit. I regularly experience the "Firefox" example in Chrome, but only in incognito mode. Either way, it's not something Google does deliberately to disincentivize other browsers.
Both the PS5 and Scarlett sound like a console implementation of AMDs Radeon Pro SSG.

The Radeon Pro SSG has a PCIe3 x8 NVME SSD on the GPU PCB directly connected to the GPU and managed by HBCC which uses the 16 GB HBM2 memory as a first level cache to the SSD.

I haven't had a console since the PS2 but the promise of a unified memory pool with GPU decompression (or dedicated hardware like in one of Sonys patents) a desktop class CPU and an SSD as the baseline (~100x better latency, ~40-50x better peak read etc. and games hopefully not developed with a HDD in mind anymore) looks really promising.

Sadly the GPU increase will probably be eaten up mostly if they go for native 4k.
Other than using json there's nothing to improve on for the type of work I do. With jq and a few self written small programs in C I get on par performance with 'better' tools that have teams of hundreds working on them.

This is already reality. Tools like lsd do that by default.

> I think by using only text-based UIs people get used to text-based UIs and all they can imagine is within the limitations of text-based UIs.

No. One of the main reasons I like this "limited" UI is because it also means less clutter. No popups, no stupid notifications or animations, no useless and seemingly infinite menus. Just relevant information and nothing else. I can imagine a UI without these limits, I've used it for decades, and now I'm glad I can often stay away from it. If there wasn't a huge problem with horrible overloaded UIs we wouldn't have plugins for blocking ads and scripts on websites or distraction-free modes in text editors.

I'm not against displaying simple graphics in the terminal(e.g. like ranger does), but there's a point where a decrease in limitations only means an increase in eye candy.
Tableau is $850/yr per seat. Very expensive might be overstating things a little.

You are partially right. There are ads that are truly useful and those which are malicious, such as popunders which often include scammy pops. I use adblock to prevent the latter. There are popunder ad networks which are trying to fight against adblock by introducing "solutions" like anti-adblock, see here: https://propellerads.com/blog/anti-adblock-3-monetize-99-per...

I side with the adblock solutions in this war.
May have been an issue in the past. Daniel claims that modern Pixel devices (among others) use IOMMU to control which memory segments the baseband device can access, and if implemented correctly it should only allow what is necessary for device->driver communication.

Open Letter to Apple – Please add `secp256k1` to `CryptoKit`
Dear Apple,

Nice to see that you are Swift-ifying crypto functionality with the new Apple CryptoKit ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cryptokit ).

But please add support for the Elliptic Curve `secp256k1` used by Bitcoin and many other projects. Cryptocurrencies are increasing in popularity and many developers currently rely on C-libraries being wrapped in ObjC being wrapped in Swift. These solutions are bad for developers and bad for users.

For the sake of the safety of the users and convenience for developers (and the ability to sleep at night).

Also please add support for common export/import methods for keys.
> If private info is the new currency we're paying for access to these services

I would argue that it is not info that's the important issue here, it's share of attention, and the harm suffered by consumers is the unknown effects that is having on their personal wellbeing, as well as society overall.

Of course, there's nothing illegal about this, and forming any sort of a proof of harm would be incredibly difficult. I'm not sure what the proper path is from a legislation angle, but I believe if critical thinking was more valued and promoted, people would be much less vulnerable to harm.
Samsung has been running custom foundry business since 2005 when it started designing and fabb'ng Apple's mobile AP used in the iPod and iPhones until around ~2013 when Apple finally developed their own custom AP after PA-semi and Intrinsity acquisitions. QCOM and AMD have been with Samsung on and off for years now.

Global Foundries a licensee of Samsung's 14nm and, along with IBM, they were members of Common Alliance.

Sure, that's what everyone said until Apple went dual-sourcing with TSMC 16nm and Samsung's 14nm.
No humans, no US military. We're not all responsible for their actions, but I'm pretty sure the human species is to blame for the existence of destructive military forces.

I would not mind contextual ads that don't get in the way of viewing the actual content a website or mobile app is offering. But no, we get huge banners that cover the whole background, pop-ups, every click opens a new tab redirecting to an ad and "hot chicks in your area". If I'm seeing an intersting ad I'll click on it by myself, don't need your help really. Conclusion: it's not the ads themselves but how they get in your way. See reddit ads, google ads. They are part of the actual content.

Whatsapp desktop knows if my phone is on
I started using whatsapp desktop and dont fully understand how it works. After the initial pairing the desktop app can send messages on my behalf. If I turn off my phone it will stop sending messages. If I then turn on my phone but run no apps, it will continue to send messages. How does this communication work? Does iOS run something in the background?
Others explained, let's do a simple experiment instead: I see you are posting as "thorwasdfasdf".

There's some first mover advantage and some country/language limitations that can bring up costs, but the main reason is actually the easy availability of cash in the US. Successful European companies, especially startups, are bought by US players. Think Skype or Minecraff: successful European startups bought by a US giant (Microsoft). More poignantly, the VC money allows companies to exist that really shouldn't, and they in turn crowd out smaller less-funded competitors that stem from other markets. Think Uber and Lyft - two giant unprofitable startups that exist because of VC investment to burn. Or Bird. Or ..

Funny enough, that's the two strategies that US companies/gov complain the Chinese are doing.

That said, there are a few big European players, such as on mobile games (king digital), network infrastructure (Nokia), etc. Just not as significant name brand value in the anglophone world.
My interpretation of the rise of tools like Looker & Tableau is that they happened in part because of that '07-'08 acquisition spree. Neither IBM not SAP capitalized on their investments, and instead their products mostly stagnated. Cognos 11 for example looks more modern bit really isn't much more than a re-skin of a product that hasn't changed much since the release of 8.x. At some point IBM had a Watson-branded product that was supposed to be a Tableau competitor, but it never really materialized and was near completely divorced from Cognos.
This is the same case with any review where the recent data and historical could be entirely different.

Steam solves this quite well by showing recent and all-time ratings. After all, one future patch can make or break a game.

I think you're trying to talk about Independent-Read / Independent Write (IRIW) Sequential Consistency (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50462948/acquire-release...)

It seems like there are roughly 4 levels of consistency

1. Sequential Consistency -- Total ordering exists for all atomics.

2. Acquire-Release Consistency -- Acquire barrier ensures all memory operations before the Acquire "happened before" the read of the spinlock. Release barrier ensures all memory operations before the release barrier "happens before" the write of the spinlock.

3. Consume-Release Consistency -- C++11 hypothetical: has not been used by C++ Compilers yet. This weaker memory ordering is a guarantee in some older chips but very few people seem to understand it.

4. Relaxed Consistency -- Atomics remain atomic, but no ordering is specified.

---------

It seems like #2 is sufficient for most cases, #1 is needed for a few obscure cases (the IRIW / Independent read-Independent write case). #3 is (probably) sufficient in cases where pointers are being used as the synchronization point, but very few programmers have studied consume-release and its straight up not-implemented in any major compiler yet. (Some CPUs do offer consume-release, which is why it is included in the C++11 standard).

#4 is rare, but useful if anyone wants the absolute fastest and knows atomics are enough (ex: a global multithreaded counter)
I'm not sure what you're talking about exactly? What's the "new thing" in your post?

(Btw, the on-device battery meter is horribly inaccurate and always has been. Multiple values, like screen power use, are hardcoded by OEM and tracking app power use is not reliable in any case because those graphs are incapable of measuring cascading power efficienty effects coming from using the radio or Play Services.

Use Battery Historian if you want more useful battery use debugging.)

Tesla performs this stunt constantly. What they do is they don't deliver any cars for months at a time, whether because they can't or choose not to I don't know. Then they dump all the backorders on some small nation all at once and put out a press release about how they are the best-selling car in that place because they recognized a year of sales in a single month.
The best thing I got out of this is that Mercola and Daily Mail have lost about half of their traffic. Hopefully this severely impacts their financial viability.

CCN seems to have a lot of clickbait headlines. Maybe this change is cracking down on clickbait like some of the DM replies suggested. That would also be great news.
Meh, these monthly fluctuations are dominated by noise, especially when expressed as "percentage of total sales". You get both the variation in EV sales and in ICE sales influencing.

Look at the trends in the absolute numbers over time:

https://elbilstatistikk.no/
I’d be generally cautious with month-to-month stats. Tesla has many preorders and only started really fulfilling the european ones in March. So hey could easily have gamed the stats by shifting many February sales to March.

Why should there be any superpower policing other countries?
IMO, China, like any other country strong enough to put up a fight, so to speak, acts out of self-preservation. It's understandable if you look at US' decades long foreign policies.
It’s somewhat on topic as it reduces the desirability of an EV doesn’t it?

IMO, they should require either a noise maker, or a sufficiently advanced pedestrian collision avoidance safety system.

I would think that at the speed and in the scenarios a noise maker would help, a pedestrian safety system should be highly effective.
Again, you are repeatedly confusing market power and the rest of per-se illegality vs rule of reason.

Per-se vs rule of reason is much more about whether you can show that there was a pro-consumer reason to do something, or whether it is illegal regardless of reason.

It happens that a lot of per-se illegality in antitrust also did not require a showing market power, either (which is what changed in case you are citing). All you had to show was an arrangement exists at all, regardless of market power.

As i've said several times now, and even the cases you cite confirm, while you must prove market power (and a small number of other things, actually) in per-se tying, IF YOU DO, it is illegal.

It does not matter if you were doing it for a pro-consumer reason or not, the court will not hear evidence on it.

I'm really unsure why you are armchair lawyering this.
Theres opportunity cost. But you cant buy time in the past and you can not bye time in the future- only optimize it. There is only now!
The problem with CAPTCHA and the like are they seek to stop programmatic-browsing of websites, that both Firefox and Chrome support out of the box. If companies are concerned about non-human access they should make an official API instead of their website being a de-facto unofficial API. If they are concerned about fraud they will be woefully defended by CAPTCHA, it makes no judgement on the validity of transactions at all and doesn't prevent frauds signing in manually.

Ironically, Google has committed at least $75 million and likely hundreds more of fraud, via stolen refunds and stolen banned-account balances!
