Cyberpunk can easily be reinvented if writers take their heads out of the 80s. At its core it isn't about people with neon hair shooting lasers out of their eyes to paint fluorescent graffity with Japanese letters, but about trying to imagine all the ways that current technology can affect the human society in the near future and answering the question of 'what can even go wrong?' with 'everything'.

If there is anything we have in abundance today is tech that can be horribly abused by those in power.

Counterpoints for Linux:

- Compose key blows your "ABC - Extended layout out of the water." It's more powerful than anything else.

- ... I never really use my XPS 13 without a charger, because I don't really travel around much, but it also has USB-C like all the "cool stuff." I would imagine with some tweaking I can get better battery life but I know it does last a while on standby.

- You won't get mainstream-mainstream stuff on Linux, which is probably a problem for some, but for day-to-day usage many Adobe alternatives exist (Blender, Inkscape, Krita, GIMP), along with commercial and professional things (DAWs (eg. Renoise, Reaper, whatever), and DaVinci Resolve)

- /shrugs VNC maybe? Although there are some pretty small monitors out there that should work. (I use HDMI monitors). Advantages of not being in the Apple ecosystem is that there is more freedom.

- Use a keyboard and mouse. It's faster. And more useful. There are only so many things you can do with a trackpad.

- You don't need to do much customization on Linux either (especially something like Pop!_OS or Ubuntu). Things are a lot better (not perfect, but better) than they were before. Nothing like Windows where you have to uninstall the bloatware though

That's the way normal SIMD loads work, yeah.

But the scatter/gather instructions do random access memory operations. You have one SIMD register with a 8 (or whatever the width is) indexes to be applied to a base address in a scalar register, and the hardware then goes and does 8 separate memory operations on your behalf, packing the results into a SIMD register at the end.

That has to hit the cache 8 times in the general case. It's extremely expensive as a single instruction, though faster than running scalar code to do the same thing.

Ah yes, how could I forget the damn display. It had so much ghosting, that for a while I thought I had the transparent terminals feature (this was a xcompmgr + gnome(2)-terminal feature) enabled. Imagine my huge surprise when it turned out I didn't had it enabled. It was just ghosting from when the window had been in focus, and it would stay for minutes!!

There is only one other display which I remember comparable in terrible quality: the early color Palm(Pilot)s. With viewing angles measured in arcminutes rather than degrees.
Thanks, this is pretty close to what I'm looking for!
That’s a non sequitur. What do you mean “too?” What does this have to do with the claim that “it’s not censorship if it’s not mandated by the government”?
> it's not absurd for a product manager to want your desktop zoom app to inherit your browser login

Of course not, and there are many ways to do this while respecting the application boundary. In no particular order: passing a token in the launch URI, a bundled WebExtension, a local WebSocket/HTTP server, on-demand executable customization.
Because they don't consider people who disagree with their political views legitimate, and wish to wipe them out via any means possible. The fact that the fediverse is small is neither here nor there: indeed, starting by picking off smaller players is a good way to establish a precedent and desensitise employees, so the next round of shutting down bigger players doesn't seem so bad. Boiling the frog, right in front of us.

As for why they do it, this essay may prove enlightening:

I didn't know about Darktable or Kdenlive, so I'll have to check those out. Peek is awesome for GIF recording.

I've been using a ThinkPad X1 Carbon running Xubuntu since 2016. Before that I was using a MacBook Pro.

The things I like about this machine/Linux are
- It's light
- The keyboard is great/better
- The battery is really good coupled with the low resource usage of Xubuntu (except when I have Zoom, Docker, and lots of Firefox tabs)
- Don't have any trouble with audio when using Bluetooth
- I don't have to worry about MacOS breaking my dev environment
- Setting up dev environment is a breeze

Things I dislike
- CPU is not as powerful as a MacBook Pro
- The most recent X/Ubuntu broke wake up from sleep
- Some software doesn't have a Linux equivalent (Webex)
- If you want to dual boot Linux and Windows, getting full disk encryption on X/Ubuntu is challenging
- Plugging into a non-hidpi monitor is janky because it can't change dpi per screen
- Speakers on this machine suck

For me doing strictly software development, the benefits of a stable and easy to use environment outweigh the warts of Linux.

If I were to get a new machine I'd consider Lenovo again. The new Dell XPS also looks great. I might also give Windows and WSL2 a try in my dual OS desktop. Windows feels a lot smoother compared to Linux (on a very powerful desktop though), but it's constantly notifying you about things which is a distraction.
The distinction here is that Kroger doesn't allow 3rd party retailers to sell in its stores. Amazon allows 3rd party retailers to sell in its stores (it may or may not handle fulfillment for them). Totally different scenario.
If they didn't intend it, they were being incredibly naive. If your defining characteristic is that you don't censor things that are banned on Reddit, then your site is only attractive to people who want to do things banned on Reddit.
your listing of 737's isn't quite correct:

737-600s, 737-700s, 737-800s and 737-900s are part of the 737NG/Next Generation series that debuted in 1998. They are still flying and are safe. 737-8s are part of the 737MAX series (which includes 737-7s, 737-8s, 737-9s, and 737-200s), and they are all unsafe/grounded. As far as I know, the 737-8 is the only MAX variant to actually have been delivered so far, but I can't find a proof of that at the moment.
Interestingly I found out about Boeing's N.C. plant quality control issues from an Al-Jazeera report on the 787 [0] way back in 2014. The part about the plant has an interview with an employee recording other employees worried about safety, training and other issues. There is a Q&A with a Boeing VP that is interrupted by some PR/legal aide when questions about quality issues in Charleston start.

It's an ongoing issue for quite a long time...

> to the point where some apps that fork apps with ban lists and republish them without those ban lists, sometimes get removed from F-Droid!

Do you have links? The only example I could think of was Freetusky, which was unmaintained while upstream Tusky itself got regular updates. That's what I'd guess as reason for its quite recent archival: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/commit/f9b7a9540f368f...

Latest version is 8.0.7 while upstream Tusky's latest version is 12.1.

Back when it was new, the F-Droid devs actually defended Freetusky and didn't follow demands for its removal. https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/1736

I don't think that F-Droid should pander to people who don't care about FOSS or maintaining software, no matter their views.

Disclaimer: F-Droid maintainer/contributor (but gotten inactive for unrelated reasons).

Edit to add: note that another Tusky fork had been uploaded to F-Droid (Husky) before Freetusky got removed.

But is Reddit a community, or is it infrastructure to create communities (which would be the subreddits)?
> I wonder then, why would the vaunted CDC change their policy to no longer test everyone? If we aren't doing this, then why bother with masks?

Great question. The CDC is an arm of the Executive Branch and beholden to orders from their bosses; I have disquieting hypotheses (people want to pretend COVID-19 is a solved problem because masks and social distancing are inconvenient, it's an election year, being popular wins elections) but no hard evidence to confirm or deny such a hypothesis. It's unfortunate to observe that such positioning of personal political goals above public health has happened in the past; Philadelphia was the site of an unusually deadly outbreak of the 1918 flu (that killed so many people the city ran out of coffins) because the mayor decided not to cancel a military parade due to federal pressure.

> No one is going around the country forcing at-risk people out of their homes. Those very few should stay home and let the rest of us get on with our lives.

As we are a deeply-interconnected society, it's not that simple. People need food. They need medical care, they need trash taken out. They need repairs done to their homes. Plus, I think a case can be made that it's a lot more humane to spread the pain out a little by having everyone wear inconvenient masks for awhile than for most people to go about business as usual and a few to live like they're incarcerated. China and other countries did the latter, and Americans I talk to aren't a fan of the "your door gets welded shut and martial law is declared" solution. We like to think ourselves better than that.

That's to say nothing of the fact that we're still not clear how at-risk anyone is. There's obviously a curve of probability, but it can strike young people down badly enough to cause permanent damage and, in some cases, death also (https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas...). It's unclear to me that we know enough about this disease for individuals to actually make an educated guess as to whether they're "at-risk."

> And besides, if I've already had COVID, I wouldn't need a mask either way.

Hey, if there were a hard-to-forge mechanism for easily identifying people who already had the disease so that store owners and service providers could know quickly whether they're extremely low-risk to move around without a mask on, I'd be in favor of it. We should write our Congresspeople.
> The lungs from patients with Covid-19 also showed distinctive vascular features, consisting of severe endothelial injury associated with the presence of intracellular virus and disrupted cell membranes. Histologic analysis of pulmonary vessels in patients with Covid-19 showed widespread thrombosis with microangiopathy. Alveolar capillary microthrombi were 9 times as prevalent in patients with Covid-19 as in patients with influenza (P<0.001). In lungs from patients with Covid-19, the amount of new vessel growth — predominantly through a mechanism of intussusceptive angiogenesis — was 2.7 times as high as that in the lungs from patients with influenza (P<0.001).

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2015432

This is a study of the lungs of people who died. Obviously more study is needed, but it's not unreasonable to infer that people who survive COVID-19 would experience symptoms that most flu patients do not.

> there is no evidence COVID is special wrt long term complications.

Since this coronavirus is novel, and COVID-19 is a new disease, of course there are not long-term studies yet. The lack of long-term data does not provide any support for (or against) the idea that its long-term impact is similar to the flu. So we have to look at what we do know so far, which is that it is different from the flu in many ways.
It was the first one that came to mind, forgive me.

Apple implements things which differentiates the iPhone and makes the experience better. If they see search as a way of doing that, they might well do it. There are a lot of services which are accessible to iPhone users which are completely free for years. The App Store, Find My iPhone, Find My Friends, the iCloud APIs (not the storage you buy for backup, but the API servers used by 3rd party developers). Maps is the obvious/ big one which is extremely expensive to offer.

They also offer content services like Music, TV+, and News+... services which they pay 3rd parties to use or develop content for. These are all quite distinct from Apple most other Apple services in that they are about the content someone else creates. Search definitely doesn’t fit into the same bucket as Apple Music and Apple TV+.

Apple News and the App Store itself are the only parts of Apple which get some revenue from advertising platforms.

If they see search the way they see maps, it could be free. It’s possible they will push an advertising platform with search. I don’t think it’s anywhere near a slam dunk though, and it’s possible it will have a small advertising load to support some costs like the App Store does.

Apple doesn’t need Search to be a profit center. They might put advertising on the platform (in fact I’d say it’s likely). But they don’t need it to look like Google’s pile of adverts with a few organic results at the bottom.
Since the FED lowered interest rates to zero and started buying corporate bonds [0], I predicated dollar inflation would rise. How should someone like me (a blue collar working lower class) prepare for the storm? Should I invest in stocks? Buy property? Buy things like cars? How should I prepare for what's about to come?

It might seem speculative, but OP's comment is based on how economics works, so the storm is about to hit. The big question is when? And how should we prepare?

I use the api and there’s none of that in the api which is why I ask. It sounds like you’re just guessing it’s something it can do. The only thing that allows the car to be driven with is summon mode but that requires you to be within a set range and as far as I know hasn’t been reverse engineered.
I've been running a Thinkpad X1 Carbon with those specs for about two years. They're pretty cheap on the used (ebay) market.
That assumes it is being presented as real - deepfake porn of popular actresses is basically more about fulfilling the demand for lusty imaginations than "look <<actress>> is a slut!".
> there is no evidence COVID is special wrt long term complications.

It is impossible to establish evidence for long term complications of a novel virus that has been with us for less than a year.

> you shouldn’t believe something without evidence

This is an OK heuristic but absence of evidence is not sufficient to conclude falsification of the hypothesis, especially when faced with novel phenomena.
I like that idea. I use Fastmail, in fact. So I could use hn@yourdomain.com or any address specific to a service.

I guess the risk would be potentially not remembering that was done or exactly what was used. Also, could keep you locked into Fastmail or limited to providers who have this same feature.
Well, Red Cross sells the blood to hospitals to recoup costs (not for profit) and from there it enters the regular for-profit American healthcare system. So I guess they do, yes.
I don't think that is the case. Media is biased but I am not sure why Media wants to exaggarate atrocities on Muslims but convinently skips atrocities on other ethnic group mostly by the Muslim extremists.

I understand all Muslims are not involved but what stops Media from highlighting the atrocities of Muslim extemist group. Plenty of these groups exists but barely reported.

I am not sure if this is because of White guilt or Media houses are scared of Charlie Hebdo like scenario.
No, because stores like Kroger aren't building a marketplace platform, they are building a single thing to sell their products -- this is evident in the fact that there's aren't grocery monopolies. A single market is not a marketplace.
This looks excellent.

In my opinion, these kinds of apps are the future of data science / data analyst work. Forget no-code, just enable these professionals to work in a single programming language that they're familar with and give them visualization superpowers. The Python ecosystem has https://www.streamlit.io/ and https://gradio.app/ now. R has https://shiny.rstudio.com/. I think we'll see more.
Please stop gatekeeping and politicizing the discussion. We all understand that influenza and SARS-CoV-2 are different viruses. However there is significant overlap in symptoms (for example both can cause viral myocarditis) so flu provides a useful baseline for analysis.

Human society operates just fine with the risk of flu despite the high annual death toll. How much worse does another virus have to be in order to justify a qualitatively different approach? Is there a specific numeric threshold in terms of fatality rate or QALYs lost or severity of long-term effects?

> fit their custom hardware, eg. a TPM designed for user security instead of vendor lock-in.

Just here to point out that they use a standard commercial off-the-shelf TPM manufactured by Infineon. It's not custom hardware. As with all TPMs, it is the firmware/OS that decides whether to use it for lock-in purposes or freedom.
Honestly, a blog should just generate itself from plaintext, like Markdown, so that you can always keep the data, and even put it in version control and diff it easily.
Oh interesting, I've only looked at some scenary and the announcement trailer because I didn't want to spoil anything for myself. I mean if that's the case then their goal isn't really to make a modern adaptation of the Cyberpunk themes, it's to stay faithful to the themes presented in that RPG and criticizing it for not modernizing the genre is a little silly.
This is an interesting point!
However, I also note that there is a limited number of “genuine civil libertarians” (or, of people in general I guess), so I am not sure that having more of these would necessarily improve the ratios between the two within any particular town/site ?

Also if people are spread sufficiently thin, some of the sites will die from “no one is using this”, I think.

I don’t know how this all balances out, but what you brought up does seem like an important force/mechanism to take into account.
So, I’ll say “Further work is needed in order to understand the behavior in this area.”, haha.

I don’t know the app, but from your description I’d follow the same reasoning, yes.
The hardware on Mac is unparalleled. I can't hardly stand using my Thinkpad touchpad after having a Macbook work laptop. I know the keyboard on the recent macs have drawn criticism, but for me they work fine and I have fewer mistypes than when I am on the thinkpad. And battery life on macos is great, when not on Zoom. And Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't recognize my 2018 Thinkpad camera.
I use remote VMs too, but they aren't good for FinalCut Pro and Ableton Live.
The Play Store is not really part of the phone. The phone just has a client that connects to it.

If they deleted the apps already installed on your phone, then I'd agree.
And yet the rest of the category is still there. This is a great opportunity to put on your thinking hat.
