Coronavirus (Covid-19) Testing [Our World in Data]
They’ve also quoted me more than a whole new pair to repair some AirPods Pro that I accidentally washed in the laundry. They didn’t tell me that was the case when I was on the phone with them.

Apple uses a lot of customer hostile behaviors nowadays. Recently:

* I canceled the Apple TV+ year trial that came with my iPhone. While, I believe, they require other apps to allow access until the trial ends, they ended my access immediately.

* Apple Music pulls up a slow interstitial almost every time I open it up to try to get me to pay. I have like 4 albums on my phone I listen to, it’s incredibly annoying how they’ve broken the music app to upsell their services.

I’m trying to get rid of most of my Apple devices in favor of anything else at this point.

"But the US government has been very thin on details on how serious the security concern actually is"

Even assuming that there are no vulnerabilities in Android and iOS, the Tiktok app has access to video, audio and GPS. If the infrastructure would be hosted in the US and the Tiktok source code has been reviewed, there would still be the possibility that the Tiktop application has a hidden backdoor that allows a third party to execute code within the context of the app and to locate a user (at least when the app is open) and listen to any conversion she has.
With the declining repairability of MacBooks (and other slim notebooks), I always have to think about this Pokémon comic:

I don't see a problem with this. Lunar retro reflector is $1000 part but replacing it would cost the same as new lunar mission.

Macbooks are made in factories mostly by robots in large volume. Replacing part requires hard specialized manual labor and doesn't scale.

Thirdly, they are only asking for what people are willing to pay. My latest computer cost €205.

GNU Make's documentation is actually excellent. It's dense, but that is only because there is a lot to cover.
As the article you cited points out, this has been changed in 1998. Low pressure areas get male names in odd years and female names in even years; vice versa for high pressure areas.
Point taken, but distributing a new piece of hardware to thousands of teachers does require logistical planning, and at the teacher level .. it will require training and support. Some teachers will still take time to adjust their teaching methodology and will struggle and therefore will take time.

So no, Wacom tablets are not a magic time-saver that protects teachers time. In fact, it may the case you shipped Wacom tablets and this teacher STILL chooses to use this low-tech approach. Why? Because you didn't do your due diligence and just assumed Wacom tablets will solve this problem and you have ZERO evidence for that.

Right now, we're in just scrambling to get the basics sorted out. I think you do want to give teachers some flexibility in figuring out the last mile of this process and potentially roll out things that work, into general policies later ... because there is no way a school board can think through all the challenges.
I am not sure if it was this July but yeah, there was news of them censoring content around Tianamen, Tibet and other topics sensitive to CCP
Native Americans are still suffering as an ethnicity in the US - while they are free to leave the reservations and won't be punished for doing so, many don't have the means to do so because those means have been taken from them and their ancestors in the past. They suffer from much higher drug use percentage, huge unemployment, and increased crime rates where they live, and that's something that was and is forced upon them.

So no, maybe Native Americans aren't being actively prosecuted for who they are - but they definitely haven't been made whole by the American people.

Again, it's apples Vs oranges. Native American reservations aren't as bad as Uighur concentration camps, but just because it's in the past it shouldn't be ignored. Germany pays wartime reparations to this day, even though they could easily say that Nazi crimes are in the past now.
In the US the weather channel tried to do the same thing for winter storms. No one else pays any attention to their names at all.

That is a fantastic resource. It never occured to me that such a thing would exist, but now that I know it does, I find it hard to think of how it wouldn't - since so much of the internet would rely on these kind of tricks to keep working.

> Or are the hooks there to make much more accessible PDFs, and the issue is that various popular generators of those documents (especially WYSIWYG ones like MS Word) either don't populate them, or perhaps don't even have the needed semantic data in the first place?

Tagged PDF is a thing, and MS Word supports it. THe problem is the very long tail of programs that generate PDFs and don't support tagged PDF. Even some widely used PDF generators, like pdflatex, don't generate tagged PDF, at least not by default.
While there might be eartg life that can live in those extreme environments, that type of life usually can't live at what we consider more comfortable temperatures and couldn't survive being on the probe while it was on earth being loaded into s rocket etc. That's why even though there is life that thrives in the cknditions inside an autoclave (pressure/steam cookers used to sterilize things in labs or medicine), you don't have to worry about them since they can only survive in those conditions.
I'm not sure what's newsworthy, here. This is quite typical of any place, that both sells and repairs stuff.

The cost of repair is calculated to be just below, or at, the cost of replacement. It's unusual, but not unheard-of, to have it more than the cost of replacement.

I've encountered this with TVs, phones, VCRs, stereos, non-Apple computers, cars, and I have heard stories of this applying to buildings and homes, as well.

And I find that infuriating, as it leads to waste.

Agree, about 7 years ago I spilt liquid on my MacBook Pro. They let me off the repair costs (significant, new motherboard etc..), just said be a bit more careful. Have recounted this story many times since, sad to hear things may have changed.
Though there was hardly anything that I didn't already know, I liked the movie very much for its presentation that drove the point well to people who may not have understood how these platforms work, the privacy implications and the dangers therein. I've already recommended this movie to some more people.

As for the cultural impact of the movie, I don't think it's going to be much. Cambridge Analytica had so much news coverage during its time (along with public hearings by lawmakers and documentaries about it) and still did nothing material to the bottom line of these companies. They've actually grown bigger and become a lot richer since then.

1. Most people just wouldn't care enough to give up these platforms. While I've been enraged for a long time about these platforms, the big gap here is that there is no good answer to the question, "what are the better alternatives?" Don't tell me that Mastodon and Mastodon clones can be replacements for Twitter, Facebook, Facebook groups, Facebook events, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, etc. Where are the nice(r) mobile apps (not just some website designed for desktops) for any replacements?

2. Governments will not regulate these platforms in meaningful ways that create fundamental changes. Regulatory capture is what's looming around, where the current biggies make the rules and ensure that nobody else can beat them.

I will keep pushing people to switch to better platforms (even if they seem deficient in comparison), but I'm sadly not very optimistic about big changes in the next decade or so.
How do you know? In the past people would have said, there can be no life there at all. And now people think they have evidence. The universe is so vast, and we are blind to most of it, why should life be so sparse? It's the norm, not the exception, is that unlikely? How can you be so certain.

Seems people so sure of life outside earth or not need it to be that way. Why can't people be okay with it just being ambiguous for now...

This is about as likely as guessing a 1024 bit encrypted key.

“Match” means “match”. Not “similar structure and behavior”. If it is the same DNA then the only compelling explanation is that it is from the same origin.
I'm currently having to go through a home insurance claim for a similar reason. I stupidly took one of the keys off and bent a bit of plastic getting it back on. The damaged part of the key is on the keycap itself, rather than the mechanism underneath. Silly mistake but I imagine not super uncommon.

Took it to an Apple store and was quoted £700 to fix it which is equivalent to almost half the cost of the laptop. For a single key. Absolute insanity.
I agree that many (most?) people will be back at their phone within hours, even after watching The Social Dilemma. At the same time I find Jaron Lanier's comment compelling; even if only a few percent choose to get of algorithm-driven platforms after watching the movie, it is enough to wedge out room for a different conversation, and before long "everyone" knows at least one or two people who have taken a conscious choice to distance themselves from surveillance capitalism.

In addition, even though most people will be back on Instagram in no-time, the movie offers a new reference point and some common ground to talk about the undeniable consequences linked to social media, without being instantly labeled a freak or conspiracy nut. Most people need time to digest information like this, and might come around further down the road.
There is a story that Elisha Stephens, for whom Stevens Creek is named, awoke one morning in the early 1860s in the Cupertino area, spotted the smoke of someone else's cooking fire somewhere in the distance, and decided that the area was getting too crowded for his taste.

The basic iPad is $329. It is a modern fast computer that has everything built-in. The only things you need to add is a keyboard and/or a stand/case.

Apple hardware is no longer expensive these days — I mean, they will let you spend as much as you want and take your money, but their lineup starts quite low and provides excellent value for the money.
Looks like there's some renewed importance to that rocketlab venus prove then! I wonder if they'll modify their mission parameters to look for signs of life now - part of the flexibility of doing interplanetary research as a private company is going to be that ability to modify the mission however you want without worrying about too many stakeholders, and this could be a great motivation to justify focusing that mission more on life
> Last update to Windows Linux subsystem makes you feel like running Linux natively. It's a huge step and it will only improve.

As long as the system collects and exfiltrates data without me explicitly allowing this, and does OS updates just before somebody wants to give a presentation, it is not the feel of running Linux. The feeling of running Linux is the user being in control of his/her device and his/her data. A 1990 MS DOS installation is closer to that feeling than any recent Windows.

For those interested, one can get from a uniform distribution to pretty much any defined statistical distribution using just the uniform random number generator and the inverse cumulative distribution function of the desired random distribution.

In mid-2000s there was a trial in my region's elementary schools that had students equipped with PDAs and keyboard and they could use those to write their essays on. It was obviously stupid but someobody thought like you and made the assumption that technological improvement for the sake of technological improvement is better than just using something that is low-tech and way better.

>Instead education is still stuck in 18th century

Nitpick. Education is not stuck in the 18th century.
I have an Android app that I used to charge for. It was $1.99, but then I made it free. It gained a few more users, but not many. With the right marketing it think it could have been successful, especially since it was unique when I released it.

So my impression has become - either your app is popular or it's not, what you charge (under $5) doesn't seem to make much of a difference as to it being successful or not.

Not sure this is all that typical. While repair costs can get to a fairly large percentage of the purchase price and thus not making sense in some situations, it's not always the case.

I recently repaired a Sony soundbar system for about 30% of the purchase price, so definitely not "at the cost of replacement". Replaced a phone screen for 10% the cost of a new one etc.
Out of interest, what created a 90GB JSON file?
I don't think that's what happened, though—the OnePlus charging cases have a much more rounded one than Apple's.
Wow, I had no idea about the interstitial. I happily pay for Apple Music for the convenience / never-sync factor (and, if I'm honest, to make it easier for my wife to manage music on HER devices without having to hook them up to the server and download from our library), but that's a choice I made. If they're being obnoxious with an ad for people who just want to use the music app on their phone normally, that's really disappointing.
The deprecation warnings started in 2018 with 10.13.4, not 10+ years ago.

Ditto. Whenever I see someone wearing them I make a point of locking eyes, then smirking. AirPods and similar headphones are an upscale version of a face tattoo. They are like a South Park parody come to life.

Exactly. My TL;DR is:

Company that doesn’t use fossil fuels claims it doesn’t use fossil fuels.

More nuanced. They purchased carbon credits without providing how much carbon they claim to have produced. I highly doubt the credits they purchased will actually come close to their emissions.
They don't have control over that. They can only ensure the energy required to run the services are offset.
Pretty sure the data centers and offices are counted in the all-time carbon footprint of zero. Your second quote is talking about switching to carbon-free energy, which is different from the carbon offsets referred to by your first quote.
Someone advised to put a piece of white paper near monitor when adjusting brightness, so it would be +/- as the paper.
I don't think there's anything monopolistic about Goodreads .. we just convince ourselves of it. But as we can see here, people would be highly willing to try out some competition.

It's a lot harder than people give it credit it for as well, I imagine. "why don't they get a recommendation engine already" ... that's the secret sauce of companies like Amazon and Netflix who have a financial interest in every successful recommendation. Goodreads doesn't have a profit model in place afaik to support honing the engine to that degree
The chances of this happening are extremely low.
Currently, they buy carbon offsets to be net-neutral. The goal is to buy carbon-neutral energy in the first place.
But laptops are not supposed to be designed for trips to the moon!

It is an extremely reasonable expectation that when a part of a laptop breaks or wears out, in most cases it should be possible to repair just that part. Not that you now have to throw out the whole laptop and buy a new one.

Yes, they are produced by robots at scale. But Apple designs the product. And design for maintainability is a key part of good design.

And they are not asking for what people are willing to pay. A reasonable user would not expect that a top-of-the-line laptop is completely unrepairable. Laptops have never worked like that. As such this would not be factored into the purchase price equation.
