The fact is that every year mobile data consumption is increasing significantly and it is expected to continue this trend. I do not have an opinion on whether more data equals better user experience.

> I just disabled 4G on my phone, which fell back to HSPA+ with a fast.com result of about 7mbps. I then successfully tested a Zoom test meeting with video (worked fine) and watched a YouTube video at 1080p (buffered for three seconds at the start, noticeably longer than usual, but then played fine).

Without knowing the context of your set up, I can only guess. I would say that not that many people use 3G in your area, so you used an uncongested cell.
Which is exactly part of my point. I can play DRG for hours at a time, and it's a pretty one dimensional game. So there's no reason why something as complex as CIV can't thrive. His point that players don't have the attention span or a willingness to commit to a game these days is just wrong.

I don't think wireless electric spacecraft are really viable for getting into Earth orbit, at least not in the foreseeable future. In order to escape Earth's gravity well, a spacecraft must be accelerating at more than 9.8 m/s (1 g), and realistically at double or triple that rate to minimize fuel consumption.

Imagine a spacecraft with a mass of 100 tons (including fuel and payload). Let's also assume a specific impulse of 2,956 (the highest thrust version of VASIMR according to this source: http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/enginelist.php#...). If we require an acceleration of 2 g and assume that our engine is 100% efficient we would require about 28 GW of electricity. This is approximately equivalent to the average electricity consumption of California. I don't think it would be possible (with current or projected future technology) to build a receiver that could handle 28 GW of electricity and still stay under 100 tons. If we could build such a receiver I don't think it would be able to survive accelerating through Earth's atmosphere.

The silver lining, though, is that wireless power transfer is a very useful technology for use in space after getting to orbit. Lasers are probably a better technology than microwaves for transferring power over interplanetary distances, but the concept is the same. If we ever travel to another star there is a pretty good chance that the journey will be at least partially powered by an array of very large lasers.

You're going to call this more "politicization" but the reality is the US government ignored and downplayed the pandemic until it was too late. This isn't really a debatable or left/right viewpoint. After that, criticism of the response was inevitable, leading to the claim that the pandemic was "politicized".

The only way it would have been not "politicized" was if the initial response had been even halfway competent.

Mark Cuban says that you can't outsource your critical business acumen nor your critical tech.

If you strictly want to stay in the App Store then nothing changes for you and the situation is neither worse nor better. If you just want to play Fortnite on your iPhone and don't care about the App Store then the latter option is a better.

No, all the websites I seen that offer mobile apps have 2 links, one for Apple and one for Google store . I never seen an app forcing a different store but I know Epic is trying to do that and offer some needed competition.

The top 100 apps on iOS need to do a 'blackout' and pull their apps from iOS for a week. That will make front page international headlines globally and involve the entire planet. That's the kind of scale necessary.

Legislators from around the world will take notice whereas right now, probably very few know or care.

Don't discount how little the public knows or cares about these kinds of things, most people are busy with their lives they are not paying attention. Few even know or understand the terms of the iOS store let alone what it means.

So a focused PR campaign and 'major action' by a lot of players is what is needed. FB, Wikipedia, Netflix, CNN etc. etc..

Are you sure? From https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/:

> Either specify both ports (HOST:CONTAINER), or just the container port (an ephemeral host port is chosen).

It sounds like you get a random publicly accessible port unless you specify a non publicly accessible IP. I'm not sure whether having a DNS server listening on a non standard port would be an issue though.
They might even fire you for running unapproved (unmonitored) hardware/software.
Not necessarily. Even if you comply with the law, doing so and demonstrating that you're complying costs money. This cost doesn't scale much with usage (it's not O(1), but probably closer to O(log(n)) than to O(n)), i.e. it costs the big players much less in terms of "percentage of revenue".
Not really digging it.

Really liked Lynch's, even though it's a bit off in a few aspects(weirding way changes, trying to 1:1 a book:movie, etc). But just the amount of passion and effort that went into it(costumes, practical effects, sets, etc). How strange and unique everything was and looked.

This really just feels like a SciFi paintjob on a modern SuperHero movie. Kind of sterile.

Also not really feeling the StillSuit's looking like motorcycle and airsoft gear slapped together. Versus the old rubber looking ones in the original.
One would think, but that does not seem to be the reality thus far. Once one of those markets can be fully substituted with the other, then we can see if they truly compete, or if it somehow forms yet another abusive oligopoly

Just to present another view, I enjoy Murakami's books despite agreeing with you that the style seems pretty flat (I've read some in English and some in my native Romanian, but I didn't notice any big differences of style, though I have no idea how well either translation holds up to the original Japanese).

The thing that keeps me coming back to his work are the stories themselves, I am usually quite curious how events will unfold, and I do find that, despite remaining mysterious, there is some sense of revelation.

On the other hand, I still prefer other works of magical realism, especially those by Marquez and Rushdie - of which I feel both have a much more interesting style to their writing.

Apple is in this for profit - if they can adjust the rules within legality for more money - the will.
>We already separate people into performance levels - why not do that irrespective of 'gender'?

I'm not sure that this is possible while affording women a chance to compete.

Men's physical advantages over women lend them a huge advantage in sports. We rarely see men compete against women, so the degree of the difference might not be very clear.

Consider that, in 2017, the US Women's national soccer team (the best female soccer players in the US, who went on to win the world cup in 2019) was defeated by FC Dallas (a team made up of the best 14 year old boys from Dallas, TX). If there are eleven 14 year old boys in Dallas who are better than the best female soccer players in the world, how many grown men are there in the US who are better than the best woman? Thousands? Tens of thousands? With that in mind, how would you arrange a soccer league, arranged by performance level, in which women were able to compete in meaningful numbers?
That's pure genius. Wow.

I've been using their meat in things like pastas and tacos and it's slightly tastier. The thing that hit me is that we consume so much meat in a heavily processed way that it seems silly a creature should have to suffer and die to make it. I'm all for aged steaks and prosciutto in moderation, but a large portion of the meat is consumed in nugget or other forms that don't really respect the sacrifice of the animal or pollution created.
The closest thing to this are probably the seals or "chops" used in East Asian countries to authenticate contracts, invoices, and financials.

>Consider who Saddam Hussein was, how he came to power, how he stayed in power and what his dictatorship was like

Though Hussein's power grab was later, let's not forget the US support for the Ba'ath party takeover. They were willing to purge communists, they must be good guys.

Then we gave Hussein billions in aid, because if they're willing to kill Iranians they must be good guys. Even after hearing he was gassing Kurds, we tried to blame it on Iran and continued aiding him.

>Does he strike you as someone who can maintain a dynasty?

His reign, as terrible as much of it was, at least kept the country functioning. Succession likely would have led to problems, but it's nonsense to say that justifies US action. We ensured it caused major issues to avoid a risk of it causing major issues?

>That almost sounds like your average dictator blaming all civil unrest on "foreign meddling". Sure, you can blame the US or Wikileaks for exposing these regimes, or for running a couple of covert support operations, but it also takes a huge part of the people to actually do the uprising

The US is not the main reason the people were willing to rise up, but US action unquestionably influenced when and how they rose up. If you change your original sentence I quoted to "the regime may well have collapsed over the past twenty years," I think we're in agreement.

Or when I put in the contract tips go straight to the business. You don't put your tips in at the end of the night, Boom! Fired!

You can't expect me to keep you employed if you don't follow the contract.

Hell I've even had some of them come up to me and say those terms are illegal but I put in the contract that you can't complain about the conract, so... Boom! Fired! They knew they would be so why are they even complaining, idiots?

> The law is not about what wasn't originally sold in the USA. Instead, it's specifically defines "grey market" imports and the whole purpose of the following text is for resellers to disclose the product's grey market status to inform the buyer.

That's what I'm trying to say. This law only applies when there are distributors or other parties that were sold the product outside the US and import it into the US.

> Read the actual text excerpt: "1797.81 (a)(1) The item is not covered by a manufacturer’s express written warranty valid in the United States "

That text excerpt says that if a product meets that criteria, it must have a label stating so. It doesn't say when that happens. "Every retail seller who offers grey market goods for sale shall post a conspicuous sign at the product’s point of display and affix to the product or its package a conspicuous ticket, label, or tag disclosing any or all of the following, whichever is applicable"

> You're inadvertently trying to say something else here but it's missing a word. I will correct your statement to be: "If it ever had a [VALID] US warranty, that warranty will not be invalidated by any selling or reselling."

Okay, I guess? I would say that an "invalid warranty" is not in fact a warranty, so the use of the word "valid" is redundant. But pretend I said "valid" if you want.

> The "grey market" products such as cameras/pianos/watches through side channels never had a valid US warranty in the first place.

But the "grey market" that we're talking about with AMD processors is largely composed of products that were sold in the US, with a valid US warranty, that are now being sold off later. You're using a much narrower definition that doesn't fit this entire conversation.
Yep, all good points!

I don’t think what epic says here is entirely true. Apple said that they were going to remove / revoke Epic’S developer account which would probably revoke the certificates for Sign In with Apple as a result Apple would have emailed them about it. I think epic is just spinning it to suit their narrative. You wouldn’t want apps on the App Store with expired certificates to be able to use login and registration systems.
> With that in mind, how could you possibly arrange a soccer league, arranged by performance level, in which women were able to compete in meaningful numbers?

I don't really understand your question. We can have as many levels to our leagues as we want. As many women can play as they want. Maybe all the women will be in lower tier leagues, maybe some will be in the higher tiers. Why's that a problem? They're still getting to play the sport with opponents around their level.

Isn't that the point of playing a sport? Playing a game with people who can challenge you. You can still play at the highest tier your ability will support. We can televise a lower tier if we want to. You can still support and follow a lower tier. What's missing from this model in your mind?

A lot to unpack here. China's response to Covid is maybe not the best, but Taiwan provides an excellent example of how a democracy can responsibly react to a crisis. The author's point that western governments have become woefully ineffective can be seen in other examples. A lot of civil institutions in the west are languishing and this should be improved regardless of what's happening in some foreign country.

Finally, the Sweden example is pretty demonstrably false. Compare the death rate between Denmark and Sweden (very similar cultures) and you will see the effect of doing nothing. The reality is that the US has broad bipartisan consensus to do very little about Covid and consequently we have seen very little progress in putting a stop to the disease and getting things running properly again. There are loose regulations, but they are not enforced. Most of the country's response has been purely voluntary on the part of citizens.
