The seller chooses the method of shipment. It is absolutely not out of their control. They have been paid for a service, and if the package does not arrive at the destination (the post office near the destination is not the destination), they did not render that service.

It is no different than if you paid a GC to redo your bathroom, and his sink guy fucked up and didn’t install the drain pipe. It’s the GC’s fault, because they were paid for the job, and they chose and supervised the subcontractor.
Users often get apps installed for them by the store at purchase. So, while they may have 3p apps installed it's not necessarily a good signal they will install more.
I smile on reading this. I spent well over a decade hand-optimising SQL to do things like shaving a millisecond off a query, or helping (a little) to maintain a proprietary application server in C because it runs so fast we barely needed any servers to support one of the busiest web systems in the world. When you stack up the hardware and electricity costs and general bureaucracy costs of running hundreds of servers day in day out, then these economies do make sense.

That would be amazing! There's a lot of exciting bootstrapping work going on right now, largely aimed at plugging the Karger–Thompson hole; unfortunately we don't have a viable kernel to compile things on, so while we are close to being safe from Karger–Thompson attacks on GCC, we're still somewhat vulnerable to Linux, and of course Intel. My own interest is largely from other objectives.

I strongly encourage you to stick an explicit license on it if you want people to study it! Otherwise there's the risk of a Numerical Recipes or SCO lawsuit nightmare. (While we were writing this thread, Óscar Toledo G. added a BSD license to BootOS!)

I wonder—and maybe it's presumptuous to offer suggestions like this without working code, so feel free to ignore it—if it might be more flexible to go the BootOS route of including at least some kind of hex or octal† input in the initial boot monitor, and relegate the filesystem to a loadable device driver in a second sector? It would be less convenient for running apps that want to use the firesystem, since you'd need to run two commands instead of one, but it also means those 512 bytes are sufficient by themselves to bootstrap anything else you wanted. With enough work.

…holy shit, you have a scrolling full-screen editor in one sector? This is amazing.

† I like octal because (sorry, rdl) the 8086 instruction set is way easier to read in octal. Also octal input takes less code than hexadecimal input, unless there's something I'm not seeing, or you're willing to count 0123456789jklmno.
Not mentioned in the release notes, but if I'm not mistaken this update adds support for Touch ID. I thought that was coming in 5 but it looks like it didn't.

Which the court must ascertain the truth or falsehood to before rendering judgement; which given the information the court has on hand, would be dangerous ground for a lawyer to tread upon in this case.

At the most; a prudent judge would likely allow it while the case is still being tried. You'd have to deal with defamation only after the completion of the criminal probe, where a suit could be levied under the auspices of "we were deemed innocent".

IANAL, and this is assuming American court procedure; things may be different in Germany.

It is a stupid cheap halfway enforcement because of parks at night being a good place for vice activities which leave unsavory evidence later (used syringes, condoms, booze bottles).

I know because that was a shift taken after a few incidents of prostitution at night and unsavory hazardous litter prompted the change.

The alternatives are obvious (open but larger patrols at night to make it unsuitable) but that is more expensive for what is a fringe activity.

I am surprised that no one mentioned the Greenbelt Movement, a grass roots effort started in neighboring Kenya by Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai [0]. They have successfully planted millions of trees over the years to combat deforestation.

The strides that the current Ethiopian government has taken in terms of human rights and commitment to resolving ethnic disparities are tremendous [1]. Since most humans have an Ethiopian grandma in the family tree, these are accomplishments that we can all take pride in.

That's surprising? I was more surprised that anyone had the audacity to bring their children to the place, or that an elderly, limited mobility retiree would think it would be a good idea to go sightseeing there.

Humans are fragile, tiny, sensitive, and weak. We're good at building safe habitats for ourselves, but outside of those prepared environments the universe is not safe.
It seems to me that the short term solution for the runtime overhead is to have the core runtime running in the background and the applications running decoupled from it on top. Is there any reasonable mature project going this way ?

Airpods and Apple Watch are both relatively new products in Apple-terms and have many years of incremental improvements ahead of them.

If you are looking for something as big as the iPhone, I think you might be disappointed. But, it is a pretty poorly kept secret that they are working on self-driving cars and some kind of "TV".

And Apple has been pretty clear about focusing on growth in services now that they have this massive base of deployed devices.

Looking Back on Primo Levi’s the Periodic Table
The main purpose of this graph is to compare "melanopic" light, which is light in the blue-green area between about 400 and 580 nm (the gray curve). This is the sleep-disturbing blue light everyone is talking about, which also includes green, as you remarked. The vertical scale is just relative power from 0-1, for the relative amount of light at each wavelength, as you said.

Why not normalize? Because those other sources are twice as bright. We're trying to compare to a light source people would typically buy. Yes, you could use a ~40 watt incandescent at about the same lumen output, but it would still have a higher melanopic effect. The melanopic ratio for incandescent is usually around 0.50-0.54, which ours is 0.39. You'll also notice that we did not include a daylight LED in our comparison, which is something our competitors do, but we think it's just a ridiculous exaggeration of the effect.

In other words, if you pointed a spectrophotometer at the 4 light sources at a consistent distance and did not normalize, that is roughly the plot you would get.

If we take reading as a use case, there are aspects of our design which enable you to use a source that is half as bright and still read just as well. For one, the CRI and R9 (red color rendering) are very high, basically at incandescent levels. This makes the printed page look better. The beam angle is much wider than a normal LED (most LED bulbs mounted upright will shoot all the light at the ceiling, not where it's needed). And most people simply don't need a 60 Watt bulb (650-800 lumens) to read with, even if they don't yet realize it.

Why not eliminate all blue and green? It's certainly possible, and there are bulbs that do that. The problem is that blue/green-free light is very orange/yellow, and in our testing, most people found the light undesirable and impractical. Our theory is that people would go back to their old higher-blue lighting after some time. In other words, people like white light. However, we are working on a mostly melanopic-depleted source with a slightly different use case.

The point is that it comes down to both spectrum and illuminance (brightness). Everyone else in the market is only considering spectrum. There is an explicit tradeoff between color rendering (CRI, R9, Rf, Rg) and the amount of blue/green reduced. If you can balance those two, and then give someone between 100-200 lux, as opposed to 300+ lux for typical reading light, the melanopic input is much lower and the light is more comfortable to use for most people. Our light will give you about 100-200 lux in a shaded or unshaded lamp at a typical reading distance. But it's hard to explain that from a marketing perspective.

In keep seeing this devious mixing of 2 different concepts in order to support one's political ideology.

The 2 different cases the autor of the article tries to mix here are:

1 - People born poor normally have much more difficulty in reaching the highest economical levels of society.

2 - People born poor cannot reach an economical level above poverty, even if they put a fair amount of effort in it.

The author (and many people discussing the subject) usually try to mix no 1 with no 2 in order to write these kind of articles and cause indignation about a false premise.

If you have been fortunate in life, then you realize how much of your life is just luck of the draw and you start having more empathy for other people (hopefully) and you realize that we (America) are at a stage where we can afford to give basic social safety nets to people who need it the most. Hell, i think medical insurance is one of the biggest scams. I haven't gone to the doctors in years, yet i pay every month, i would much rather this money go into a pool which can pay for the health care of the poor instead of making insurance company owners rich. Just implementing free healthcare would be enormously beneficial to most Americans.
How does that dovetail with Apple’s strengths as a vertically integrated consumer electronics company? What would they bring to the table that would help them compete with the other cloud players? Amazon had first mover advantage and Microsoft had a large enterprise base to draw from and an inside and outside enterprise sales force. Apple has none of that. Google is struggling in the cloud with large companies partially because of no enterprise sales experience and no reputation in the enterprise. Apple would be even less competitive.

My case is the opposite, went from videogames to "boring" B2B web apps.

Just follow your hostname with a / to get around that. It's muscle memory for me at this point.
This is a valid opinion but a bit extreme as is. If the competitor lacks some features that would save you days vs a few minute of execution, you are trading your limited CPU, memory, and bandwith for your (unlimited?) own time.

This has always driven me bonkers about the ProofPoint URL-obfuscation 'security'. My work started enforcing this recently, and it drives me crazy:

1. rather than training you to think more carefully about links in e-mails, it trains you to click blindly, because the software says it's safe;

2. it obscures the target of the URL, so that a URL that even a novice would recognise as fishy becomes a garbled string like any other—here's an example (but safe) mangled URL:

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__escholarship.org_content_qt5dj9b74w_qt5dj9b74w.pdf&d=DwIC-g&c=7Q-FWLBTAxn3T_E3HWrzGYJrC4RvUoWDrzTlitGRH_A&r=fDFfg5N-sxMSxbW3hS6WsQ&m=giTLUqirmM6FZGAOLKIp-AHow2YDDWYuGHGz6jjxykY&s=FhP_G8aKAp6QmXR9rR0Pl8L5Z5_XlDPql2uQqmKhDxM&e=

3. it filters outgoing links, meaning it assumes that the university employees, not just outside spammers, are hostile (but maybe this is a reasonable assumption?).
Worker wages could go up without increasing the cost of a burger (or other food item), it would just mean the owners make less money per sale. If the decreased stress leads to Burger King workers being more productive (and/or more pleasant to customers), that could mean more sales and more money for everyone involved.

>I've seen 75k USD salaries commonly in London and 400k+ is not unheard of in fang companies.

You're just comparing a typical dev salary in London to an unusually high dev salary for NYC or SF. I don't see what insight you hope to gain by doing that. (The people making big money as software developers in London work as independent consultants rather than employees, by the way, as it's more favorable from a tax point of view and - lol - you don't have to worry about not having health insurance.)

>If I have money and insurance why do I need assistance?

Because you don't have enough money. There's no cap on medical bills. See for example the article I linked to regarding the $500,000 bill for dialysis. The person in question had insurance.

>Care to cite a time where that ever happened?

Holy crap, you really mean it. It happens all the time, as you can find out just by googling. Hospitals are under no obligation to give you chemo if you can't pay for it.

I share that suspicion: when you pay taxes for lifting the poor from your doorstep, it not only helps them, it also improves your own quality of life. The poor half a continent away, not so much. The same applies when you replace "paying taxes" with any other measures that reduce inequality, like a preference for level education access, a judicial system that prefers rehabilitation to vengeance, minimum health standards and so on.

The dark side of this hypothesis is that it predicts that all those civilizatory achievements will increasingly come under pressure as national states become more open and integrated. It's almost a "national" and a "socialistic" idea, if you look at the terms without blending them into one. Which makes any meaningful discussion really hard.
> A lot of people are pretty much in the position where they have to shop on price.

Keep in mind, though, that if a larger portion of money went to the workers, less of them would be in that position.

And yet, QT picked JS for the language of its state of the art widget library.
