I think the author knows, since it is mentioned early in the article, twice. But the availability for SCSI Ethernet cards with Mac drivers is not what it used to be...

And if they hadn't, I would hope that this discussion we're having would include what sanctions Google should face for not backing out. I'm having a hard time following how folks in threads related to China are not seeing that this game is being played by two players with completely different understandings of the rules. Player 1 spends an inordinate amount of time with the rule book, complaining to others that player 2 isn't playing fairly. Player 2 continues taking territory knowing that by the time player 1 realizes it's not about following the rules - it's about winning - it'll be too late.
'Western' in this context presumably means the binary model of man/woman dominant in the West (e.g., Europe, North America) and gradually exported to be the default worldwide (via colonisation and later cultural exports).

There have been, and are, exceptions to this model in what might broadly be called 'the East'. Think of the Hijra on the Indian subcontinent, or the Kathoey (Ladyboys) in Thailand.
CVE-2020–14979: Local Privilege Escalation in EVGA Precision X1
Sure you CAN, but Erlang/Elixir makes it really, really easy. The primary purpose of a programming language is establish pretty paths to solve problems. When you're fighting those pretty paths, your code gets bogged down with cruft and workarounds. When you're writing code with the pretty path, your code becomes clean, elegant, and painless.

To use a specific example, look at establishing independent processes that communicate through message passing. In Erlang/Elixir, it's trivial. 2 callback implementations and you've got yourself a GenServer running independently and expecting messages. A quick function to wrap the message call, and boom, you're off to the races. You want supervision? Bam, 2 short lines of code.

If you try to do that in, say, Python, you'll be bogged down by a language structure that is, by design, encouraging of serial code.

If you are interested in this, you might want to read the well-researched article of OurWorldInData on food production and its impact. Some things like producing meat locally are, maybe surprisingly, worse solutions than replacing it with vegetables even when these were shipped around the globe.

Transport has a low impact on the total emissions (and also producing beef is sooo bad) that you could e.g. ship a kilogram of peas several times around the globe and the peas would still win emission-wise against a kilogram of locally produced beef. If you pick another metric, like energy content ('calories') or compare emissions per mass of contained protein, beef is still worse.

I’m glad you brought that up. There was a minor renaissance we saw on cable tv with shows like Pawn Stars, American Pickers, Storage Wars, etc., that brought up collecting old americana and the like to a younger generation. I think though it’s as you said, the dollar amounts were at the forefront of what was shown off more so than than the items itself.

I make good faith attempts to pass things like Franklin and Kennedy half dollars to younger folks in my life, while explaining some of the facts around them, hoping it plants a seed, much like when I was young.

In psychology how we define a thing is constructed from a series of observable characteristics.

The problem is, there are multiple situations that can cause the same series of characteristics. "Are there leading candidate hypotheses for the cause of autism?" is like asking, "Are there leading candidate hypotheses for the cause of a headache?" There is no single cause.

What we do know is most people with autism do not process facial expressions as much as the average person. This causes a lack of paying attention to body language, which then ripples into most of the characteristics that define autism. Studies have shown eye training on infants can completely remove symptoms of autism.

But a root cause is more complex when there are multiple. Some people get overloaded when they look at people's faces. Some just didn't pick up the proper habits of looking at others when interacting with them. The root cause can vary from person to person.

Last week I watched the movie Interstellar and I still don't get why the main character could be younger than his daughter when he returns from space.

And I also don't get your comment. Probably because I don't get relativity.

That's sadly the thing - you can't. Not until you have community-owned companies providing services being directly competing against tech giants.

It will have ticked away less seconds. Time runs slower the faster you move. From the perspective of each individual person they wouldn't be able to tell the difference, but when they come back together they'll have passed different amounts of time.
From my comment history you will see I am pretty much into commercial and dual licensing, so I do agree with your point, however kind of feels like the way copyleft licenses have been managed has brought us back to the commercial licenses with source code, just under a different name to make them more appealing to younger generations.

> It’s amazing how much the Special Relativity and General Relativity influence our daily lives.

I mean aside from the obvious one of it being an underlying theory for how the universe works and without it a lot of stuff would break it is really not that huge a part of most people’s lives. Sure, the GPS example is a fun one to bring up, but other than that there’s just a few things that we interact with that actually have a noticeable effect due to relativity, like some of the very characteristic properties of heavier metals or the design of particle accelerators, which many people used to have in their house until recently. And I guess you could go out and look at Einstein’s cross. But other than that it really doesn’t affect us that much.

I think your argument is the start of a very important and stimulating discussion, and you've worded it perfectly. I think the negative aspects of the "digital revolution" definitely exist and starry-eyed Silicon Valley positivism will never find the solutions or even detect them.

That said, I deeply disagree with your conclusion. I think, barring politics or pandemics of course, the world is objectively better due to the digital revolution. It's not only a positive force, but it's an overall positive one.
Opus decoding in earbuds is totally doable. I've been working on an Opus mode for Bluetooth A2DP, it is a bit of work getting two implementations going, but I don't think Opus on earbuds is any more unreasonable than AAC.

One big benefit to Opus on Bluetooth devices is that a lot of content, particularly Spotify, YouTube, and Netflix, is already in Opus; so presumably if one application is playing then it should be possible to just proxy the frames right over the wire without reencoding; switching to decoding and mixing when system sounds play is also pretty straightforward in that case.

AptX HD is probably the most reasonable Bluetooth codec deployed right now, but it is proprietary to Qualcomm. LDAC is by far the silliest codec, it is very Sony, and designed for audiophools, but at least it's free and deployed on every Android device.
Well, I wasn't just hallucinating: https://www.cnet.com/news/ebay-drop-off-locations-coming-to-...

But the program does seem to be dead.

I found some interesting forum discussion taking the opinion that eBay strangled consignment businesses by choosing to heavily discourage auction sales (as opposed to fixed-price listing). They did that because customers on average strongly prefer fixed-price sales, but I'd be open to the idea that this could be a case where giving the customers what they want turned out to be a mistake for the business.

eBay saw themselves as competing with Amazon in the "buy things over the internet" space.[1] But by emphasizing fixed-price sales so much, they arguably made themselves much less distinct from Amazon.

[1] I was surprised to learn this, as I had always thought of Amazon as being for buying things new and eBay for buying things used.

There is a couple of things to keep in mind.

First, like others mentioned, they are way off in the effect size, for this kind of time dilation you need 80% the speed of light, not 8%.

Second, when looking at time dilation caused by velocity, it is always necessary to say who observes what since observers that move relative to each other won't agree on which clock runs at what speed. If the star moved at 80% of the speed of light, someone on that star would say "When a 100 minutes pass here, only 60 minutes pass on Earth" while an observer on Earth would say "When 100 minutes pass here, only 60 minutes pass on that star". So both observers would say that the other's clock is running slower than their own.

This answers a part of your last question - time dilation always makes clocks appear to tick slower than your clock if they move relative to you.

There are other effects that can make things appear "sped up", there's all kind of odd things happening when you go to high relativistic speeds ...
It’s simple: You are familiar with how temperature works, right?

Imagine the same volumetric difference exists in 3d space, but the different regions are not hotter/colder, but time goes faster/slower.

So You get two identical clocks, showing the same time, and move one of them into a “slow time” region (which would be a star moving very fast (8% of lightspeed). Let some time pass, then re-join the two clocks.

Since they spent some time in regions with different “speed of time” they’ll show a different time.

I might be wrong though, I’m not a professional.
"Don't screw it up!"
That it's relative.

There is no "universal time", no absolute time.

> RISC-V allows companies to make closed systems, but it also allows them to make open systems

True, but can you recall any moment in history, where market forces did not actually make producing "open" devices unprofitable? So, (imo) in theory, you are right, but in practice, (successful) companies will use the technology to create "even more closed" system, and worse: Make systems, where the user can't even tell, if he got an "open" system.

Think about the starting positions on a track.

The track is divided into lanes and each player is set backwards based on their lane by a fixed distance, despite the fact the finish line is in the same position. This is because of the curvature of the track - if everyone started at the same "line" across all lanes, the runners at the outer lanes would be running a further distance than those on the inner lanes!

Gravity does the same thing to time itself. The curvature is not of a track but of spacetime.

In Gravity, the main character starts at an inner lane and his daughter at an outer one - but the starting line is the same across all lanes. Gravity bends spacetime, such that the inner lane is shorter than the outer lane (in terms of distance in time). So when they ultimately arrive at the finish line, the daughter has traversed a longer path in the time dimension than her father.

> It is rare enough to find people with good electronics and software skills.

That should be my niche (if it's small enough to be called one), but I've worked firmly in software since graduating a few years ago, and I'm increasingly worried that I'm unhirable for anything else, even if I brushed up with some hobby electronics at home, despite it being electronics that got me into CS.

Is there any truth to that? Would I have to start over in a grad role for anyone to hire me for hardware? (I'm not actually looking, I just don't like the thought that the road's closed, my next job has to be software.)
If anything is badly written and full of "straw men", "ad hominem", and dishonesty it's your comment.

1. The article doesn't say if you don't support Epic you don't ship apps. It says if you didn't ship ads, your opinion on the 30% cut will not impress them:

> You are entitled to your opinions, but if you have no experience lecturing people that have worked in the industry for over ten years and managed to be one of the few among Millions to be profitable in this tough environment, your opinions is about as as important as your butterfly technique to Michael Phelps.

2. As you say, the Android claim is valid, even more because the authors have actual experience there, as well. This is rare and valuable information. Sure, you can always ask why, and why again, as a 5 year old child will prove, but contrary to your claim the article's weakness definitely is not a lack of thought or depth, or writing skill, and contrary to your disingenuous and one sided comment, it doesn't lack humour in presenting its argument:

> Running both an iOS and an Android app, we know that the stats are right. Android users do not want to spend money. If you offer your app for 5 Dollars per year you get called a megalomanic. This is why Google hands out more than 7 Billion Dollars per year just to be the default search on iPhone. Android users don’t spend money on apps. Not spending money is the Android brand. Android is not an alternative, it’s an alternate reality.

3. The main line argument is "Lower the share, Apple!", not "Epic is right". When it comes to Epic the article it destroys Epic:

> "Of course, Epic is not an immaculate saint. Fortnite is not the hero, it’s the heroin of games. It frightens parents, especially those who are addicted to Fortnite themselves, to death. Fortnite has an appetite for time that would devour years of childhoods if not stopped. Epic doesn’t want a reduction to 5%, it wants to pay nothing and run its own store on iOS. Which, let’s be real, has to be a negotiation tactic. On its own store, Epic charges 12% to developers. As some will point out, Sony demands a similar share and it’s not entirely clear if one can get around it. And, to make your head spin a bit more with corporate ping-pong: Let’s not leave out that Sony has a stake in Epic Games."

Every second comment on HackerNews tries to go meta and claim uses "Straw Men" and "Ad Hominem" and "Hypocrisy!" That rhetoric is getting old. Where is ad hominem? Which hominem is unfairly attacked to disqualify their valid argument? That people without experience can have an opinion without experience, but it is not relevant. That's just logical. Straw men? Where is the straw man. What argument is made to disqualify another that is valid? And how is it disingenuous?

I give you one thing: It is one sided though. It's fully the perspective of a developer dealing with Apple for over 10 years. And it doesn't pretend to be above it all. It can't be and doesn't want to be. It's also rare to see developers speaking out against Apple.

I know that this doesn't matter. But it had to be said. Have a nice Sunday.

Growing up, my house had a laundry chute. In retrospect, it was probably installed by my dad.

I remember crawling up and down it all the time as a kid while playing hide and seek or whatever. In fact it had a flaw of a weak latch. Sometimes when you closed the bathroom door, The laundry chute door would fall open, blocking the bathroom door from opening. When this happened the only way to resolve it is to send a small child up through the laundry chute to close its door.
