I mean, that's 12x, but last I heard you also make about 8x as much money on iOS as you do on Google Play, so dickering over $274 is still petty.
The problem, is the same faults of religious movements happen with these religions-without-the-supernatural, but as an atheist you don't have the same supernatural to mock as a defense.

You see faith based reasoning and very strong emotional reactions to things that are not real.
Your American example is exactly what occurred. Working for Gulf/Shell, downtown real-estate holders, and Cooper factory owners in Toronto, moved to Calgary to continue at Gulf/Shell. Claimed to be mavericks.

Absolutely, which gives me a chuckle when people trivialize biology, but run screaming from a (gasp!) 20 year old legacy codebase.
How much cellular data people use is dictated far more by data caps and usurious overage charges than by the speed of their connection. With overage charges of >$100 a GB in some parts of the world, usage per person isn't going to increase just because speeds go up.

Unless the carriers have a sudden outbreak of generosity, data caps won't rise under 5G, so usage per person will stay the same but improved efficiency will allow the carriers to extract more profits from more people per cell simultaneously.

5G doesn't solve any problems for end-users. It solves the carriers' problem of 'how can we get more people to use up their data cap faster.'
My phone camera can't really even capture the effect. The color correction algorithm doesn't think the sky can be this color.
Naive question here - is the 13bn years relative to the surface of the Earth? I assume this matters right? If we're in a bit of a gravity well wouldn't the vacuum of space experience this time a bit longer?

According to [1], the ratio is about 5.56E-10, so I guess this would contribute about a year to the age of the universe, so.. not that much. I guess I answered my own question.

However, this does pose an interesting question about the age of the universe in extreme gravity wells doesn't it? Or am I misunderstanding something?

It's very likely the EU will find those contractual provisions to be illegal at some point within the next 3 years.

Apple also has noncompetes in its employee contracts, even though such provisions are illegal in CA. Should we prevent Apple employees from moving to Apple competitors in violation of those illegal non-compete provisions?
Well yeah, I agree but even in the most locked down system people will still (involuntarily) find ways to get screwed or otherwise not be able to discern what's good and what's bad for them.

It sounds a bit nuts and I'm being slightly hyperbolic on purpose but I think the way to go is to slow digitalization in the public (i.e. our everyday lives) down a bit and properly educate at least decision makers, children (or young adults) and teachers about how this sorta stuff really works and how their rights are being undermined in the digital world.

Alas, the pandemic has been a big blow to that as well.

I think there is some stimulating, contemporary stuff. But I agree it can be difficult to find conveniently. I mostly follow a lot of you-tubers and subreddits that follow this stuff and then use them as a filter for it. But even then it's like something good once a month or two. Though I prefer the contemporary stuff for some reason and can't really give it up, so I am willing to put in that effort.
I bet we haven't even come close to realizing the potential of having extremely fast/high bandwidth cellular connections. Streaming 8k video to a phone seems silly but there are some brilliant and clever people out there who will find a use for that kind of mobile bandwith and apply it in ways you or I never thought of.

Bill Gates infamously said sometime in the 80's "640K is more memory than anyone will ever need" , and for the scope of computer applications at the time he was correct.

A Multi-Organization High-Level Compilation of Latest Climate Science Info
Iowa has a projected 9.5% GDP hit. New York has a projected ~14% GDP hit, and due to its density and reliance on elevators and public transit, will of course have a higher case load, and require harsher measures to control the spread.

Half of the population of Iowa can fit in the 22 square miles of Manhattan. Oh, and infection rates in Iowa are climbing, whereas infection rates in New York peaked five months ago... And they are currently neck-and-neck in per-capita cases.

So, how did a mostly rural state get a case rate that's as bad as a state that packs half of its population into a single sardine-can of a city? Is their strategy actually working, if they are getting the same outcome, despite having a much easier set of starting conditions to deal with?

Meanwhile, in Canada, BC is projected to take a ~6% GDP hit... While having 1/10th the per-capita case load of Iowa, and higher population densities.
I've commented to the same effect at least 2 or 3 times over the duration of this lawsuit, but just to keep repeating: if you get too picky about who is and isn't allowed to advocate for you, eventually everyone will stop advocating for you.

A billion dollar company is completely necessary to tackle Apple. This stuff is important, and advocates for user-freedom and device ownership can't afford to put every company that's criticizing Apple through a purity test to make sure that they've never done anything anti-consumer themselves.

Think back to Google vs Oracle. You don't need to like a company overall to agree with them in one specific lawsuit.
IMO hospitals are your worst target. They have seven figure deployments, maybe eight, and they have an army of HIT techs. THey also have a vendor relationship you cannot break.

However... hospitals have partners, contractors, vendors, processors. In your shoes I would be looking at people who want to interop with hospitals.

Some ideas:

- State Medicaid agencies. Generally do not have the tech staff, but they do have money and contracts, and much of it is set-aside for small business.

- Anyone with an NQIIC contract. All tasked with reducing provider burden and imprving care transitions. FHIR to the rescue. https://www.g2xchange.com/statics/cms-awards-25b-network-of-...

- Case in point. I need a legacy data dictionary transposed to FHIR elements so that instead of manual record abstraction I can ship an HL7-ready spec for data abstraction.

- Case reporting. There are FHIR-aware case reporting frameworks, no-one knows how to use them. There's a global pandemic on at the moment, so lots of case reporting is needed. Public health agencies exist in just about every county and city in the US.
I had an amazing experience with 5G home broadband in the UK...while it lasted. I paid £29/month and always got the promised 300+mbps (sometimes up to 500-600) down with ~10ms ping. It was 100% rock solid and seemed to be truly unlimited, e.g. in the first month I downloaded >500GB and never noticed any throttling whatsoever.

Then they took down the tower nearest to my flat for "improvements" a couple months into the pandemic and from then on it basically didn't work at all (it was supposed to switch to 4G and it theoretically did but the best I got with that was an extremely flaky 10mbps). They originally said it'd be fixed in a week but it was completely unusable for at least a month. So now I'm back to a cable connection.

I still miss the 5G though -- there was something pretty amazing about just plugging it into the mains and suddenly having super-fast wifi with 0 installation. I personally remain optimistic about its future, unlike pretty much everyone else in this thread I guess.
I have heard this opinion from some other people as well. I'm wondering what are the particular needs that call for a custom website vs. staying with wix/squarespace or another similar service?
Is Semi-Autonomous Safety Technology Breeding a Generation of Bad Drivers?
Review:

Consider replacing:

return function(method) {
switch (method) {
case 'getFullName':
return getFullName;
case 'setFirstName':
return setFirstName;
}
}

With:

return {
getFullName,
setFirstName,
}

And leaving client code unchanged.

This leaves callers with a struct but is cleaner and more direct. So far as I can tell, modules and closure usage are objects in JavaScript.

I'm curious if you might have insight into what this approach might block other than exclusively using functions?

Not ELI5, but the position of prime numbers on the number line can be thought of as atoms on a 1 D crystal.

The interesting thing about quasi-crystals, are that they can be modeled as higher dimensional crystals projected on a lower dimension....

(quasicrystals are super stable, which is why we find them in meteorites, we have no known way of manufacturing bulk quasicrystals).

Do you find that boiling everything down to a soundbite or small phrase helps you improve your critical thinking and logical reasoning skills? Or do you find it is valuable just for the dopamine hit and feel-goods of cementing your already established worldviews and perspectives?

The reason I read books is because the author's perspectives are, often, wildly different from mine. Because of this difference, it helps me understand other people, and understand my own actions.

I feel like taking everything down to one-liners and ignoring "anything that doesn't resonate" is just avoiding the real work of thinking about yourself and your place in society. For example - Lao Tzu's perspectives about technology and how to balance external desires with my own personal views on how to integrate technology into my life have been immensely helpful in raising a family - I'm not sure I would've gotten that with just soundbites.

This seems like a wonderful idea that the world needs. But until I can see a list of companies that are "accepted", it's hard to know if it's all just lip service.

You're focusing on wealth inequality/relative living standards, which while important, is secondary to absolute living standards.

Kind of. When reducing power there's a buildup of a particular Xenon isotope, which is a powerful neutron adsorber. So until that isotope decays away sufficiently you might have problems starting the reactor back up again. Unless you have enough excess reactivity, such as by having fresher fuel loaded.

AFAIU France primarily uses reactors which are earlier in their fuel cycle for load balancing, and ones which are near the end run with a flatter profile.

This is what Slack really screwed up. We use 12 different meeting tools, it's absurd I know, and if Slack worked it would be great.

You start a chat and you can't add someone to the chat once it's started. So you create a new chat and add a member to it. Now you decide to hop on a call and you need to invite someone else, and that wasn't an option. But today, you can add another team member to the call. You figure out it's a vendor issue but you can't get your vendor on the call because they don't have a Slack account, and there isn't a link to share for just that one screenshare/conference.

So you are left with inviting your vendor into your Slack space which you don't want to do or move to another solution.
> The problem is that ProtonMail could violate your privacy by sending you Javascript that gave them your keys and you'd never know about it.

I think we don't agree on how proton mail works. As I understand it, they already have my keys. You can't even give them just a subkey, it only works if you upload a set of PGP keys including the master secret key. What is your understanding of how it works?

As for your other concerns, unless I am conversing only with myself, the attack vector for my data is the entire e-mail ecosystem. Even if I only talk to people who use encrypted email, they are also part of my threat model, even if I don't trust a provider with my keypair. e-mail is simply not secure. It wasn't meant to be secure; security cannot be bolted on top.

What is your threat model and how do other providers or self hosting achieve your desired level of security?

why would it?
in fact the judge suggested they do that so their users aren't impacted.

In fact, the judge did not suggest they do so because absent economic harm Epic had no standing to sue until Apple retaliated. The judge simply pointed out that they couldn't provide injunctive relief forcing Apple to allow Epic to have its own store before the case was decided on the merits. (Judges rarely grant injunctive relief to change the status quo, especially in commercial cases.)
We just found this the other day! It seems great and my kid's really into it!

But I tried to give you money to access more than the demo lessons and couldn't. Hit the 3-month sub on my kid's ipad, sent request to parent ipad (mine) to authorize, authorized it, and... nothing. No payment occurred, no access granted, and now even after a re-install that middle option and "restore" both seem to be non-functional. Can still select the other two, but I don't want those and anyway I'm not sure they'll do anything.

[EDIT] I just went to try it again but I created an account a couple days ago in the process of trying to fix it (though it already had one, I think, but I have no idea how it got set up; I guess my kid must have just clicked through some things, so I replaced that nonsense with a real account) and it seems to have reset progress, so, to be allowed to try to pay, now I have to go through some lessons first, unless there's some secret way to get to the payment screen.

Minor issue report uncovered in the process of the attempt: the app uses both portrait and landscape orientations depending on the view, but seems to hardcode which direction is "up" for both rather than letting them flip with the physical device orientation, which is annoying if, say, your device is connected to a charger and needs to sit a certain way. It doesn't even seem to use the current up/down orientation on initial render and then stick to that, which would at least be better than just having up and down hardcoded to specific sides of the screen.

[EDIT 2] Made it through the free part of Human Body, confirmed, 3-month option is still not responding to touches at all.
I was a programmer at that time and I was even reasonably well-versed in the rather arcane dialect of C++ that was used in Symbian programming.

Making a non-trivial change to an OS and deploying it successfully to a device on my own would be a challenge, though. Once Nokia stopped paying the internal developers and Symbian programming forum was closed, there were no gurus capable of answering questions.

And in case of a very complicated OS whose internal workings were very different from other OSes out there, having no vibrant community of experts = death, unfortunately.

>Systematically allowing companies to take a long term view without being punished is what the market needs.

Why is the default that companies are "punished" for long-term thinking?

I'd bet that there are far more cases of long-term investors "punished" in the public markets by short-term thinking executives than vice versa.
