Apple advertises for stuff as well. I never installed adware, but Apple installs it, and I don't know how to shut if off.

A fullscreen add after you go into Music, and apparently no way to turn it off permanently. I've had this happen to me this year.

I had this happen after I went to play music, and this popped up for me AFTER selecting a song I owned to play.

So, if we are going to go after Steelseries for advertising for free software specifically used for the hardware the person owns, let's make sure we call it out wherever it's happening.
I'm not aware of these laws being enforced for covid-19. I bought some masks over the summer and they were much more than $10 per.

[EDIT] To be more specific here. Price gouging laws apply to retailers, not manufacturers. Price gouging basically covers retailers hording supply to artificially inflate the price during an emergency. That's not what's going on here. Manufacturers don't have capacity to meet demand. They are free to adjust the price in response.
Those are basic cloth masks.

This article is about N95 masks, which are mostly used by doctors and nurses.
I wanted to write "in its current form". I don't think it will dissolve, but people will realize that some countries have different ideas about government. Especially with the planned addition of new countries. Many countries favor democracy a lot less and we are blindly expanding.

Many people believe we need the union to defend our values, but it becomes more apparent that we might loose them on the way.
> Maybe in Germany an architect can make a flawed building and get away with it

That is quite unnecessary attack. The comment you are responding to was literally about those buildings NOT being flawed. The suggestion was that usage of design principles and materials and following the regulations lead to non-flawed innovative buildings.

Also, Germany actually has pretty good legal system, there is no reason to imply they can be innovative only because law system does not work.

> The motivation of making a building that impresses other people is dangerous -- the Ancien Regime in France was motivated a lot by that but they found that that "track" leads to losing your head.

The French revolution did not happened because of architecture nor because of trying to impress other people. Really, there were way more important causes.

Every time I break out of its ecosystem, I'm simply horrified. Using an external service from AWS or Google is a nightmare of configuration. They are both preparing on day 1 for your application to become Facebook and Amazon, forcing me to make decisions I don't even begin to judge, and opening pathways through security that might be right or might be complete disasters. The "happy path" for a new user is rarely clear, and the documentation is bewildering because it's aimed at much more difficult cases than mine.

Netlify does a great job of simplyfing to a small number of likely paths. At some point I'd surely break out of its use case and be forced to swim in the much deeper pool of a more general provider, but at least I'll have some grounding to start from.

1. Automation: you made everything correct. It is intended to work that way - if it failed - it is a bug!
2. Would be useful if after upload the file/folder appear on screen: I agree! I opened an enhancement ticket on GH. I will fix that part in next release.
3. I didn't get the Inbox folder meaning. I suppose I can send emails with attachments and the attachments would be stored there?: Correct! Even more, you can import documents from you local storage and all imports will appear in Inbox.
4. Should the "Documents" folder appear in a tree-style on the left pane? Maybe collapsed from start? Well, in theory yes. In practice it will take some time until UI will look like typical desktop file manager.
I was very struck by this when watching Citizenfour (the documentary on Snowden leaks). The newspaper journalists had little understanding of good procedures (even "don't have a very short password") and thought Snowden hiding his keystrokes from the camera (and anything else) was funny, rather than good practice. And these were the best people Snowden could find. Hopefully, among journalists, there is now more awareness of how important this really is.

As regards Harding/Leigh giving away the password in their book - I find it very hard to believe that this was an honest accident on their part. The defence that they and the Guardian newspaper gave is just not credible ~ 'oh, but we didn't realise'. And beyond that, if you were going to publish the password and somehow thought it was ok, you would at least consult someone who knew more on the topic that they claim that they did.

This is mostly incorrect, and a really bad take at understanding fires in semi-arid climates.

The fires we are having are a human caused problem, and by human I don't necessarily mean PG&E. Trying to put this blame on one company is going to accomplish pretty much nothing and just lead to more deaths in the future as we piss around looking for the wrong people to blame and avoid solutions.

Also, underground cables still cause fires. I know this from experience.

Complete n00b question -- you can do that?

The last time I touched anything .NET was about a decade ago. My somewhat old-school superiors were unimpressed with the ability to come up with a plain .exe at the end of the process. My lack of familiarity with how Visual Studio had evolved certainly played into it; the IDE made me feel like a chimp dropped into an airliner cockpit. I had the worst time trying to figure out how to turn off the "of course you have an enterprise server dedicated to delivering upgrades!" setting. None of it seemed to, uh, scale down for our piddly purposes.
>... their plastic mesh isn't readily counterfeited, which is happening now with 3M

Speaking of 3M and N95's, can anybody with some unbiased knowledge explain what exactly is the chinese manufactured 'KN95' mask?

Are they just conveniently using the name or are the KN95 masks made to standard, to be P2/N95 grade masks?
If that was actually a reason, don’t you think the article would have mentioned it? Also, if it is a reason, can you please cite to which law? I’m not aware of a law saying a manufacturer can’t set the price of n95 mask. A re-seller, however wouldn’t be able to hoard supply and then do a 10x price increase, which would be price gouging. If there was a competent firm that could offer n95 masks at any price to any of the hundreds of hospitals, I’d wager they could charge whatever price they want at this point.

Removing price gouging laws wouldn't fix the problem. Setting up new N95 mask production lines takes huge capital investment. Manufacturers won't make that investment unless they have assurance of long term sales beyond the current pandemic. State and federal governments could solve that by issuing long-term purchase contracts to build up stockpiles.
> $1 per mask to $10 per mask would still be very much affordable for everyone who really needs a mask

teachers and many essential workers who need masks the most are also most vulnerable to unexpected expenses like PPE costs. and the organizations they work for typically have strict budges and can usually only provide limited supplies.

that statement feels wildly out of touch.
Who pays for factories to purchase new equipment and hire more workers to produce more masks then? The companies selected by the government to do so have more or less flopped, as they had more political connections than skill in producing masks.
This honestly reads like an undergraduate understanding of “the invisible hand” and “market forces” to me.
What powers would those be? AFAIK there’s no state level Defense Production Act, for example.

If you mean just putting out guaranteed orders, not every state has the capacity to manufacture PPE, even fewer have money to pay for it.

One might suggest that multiple states get together and induce manufacturing in the states where they have capacity. We did that. It’s called the federal government, and it’s choosing not to utilize those powers.

No, but I believe you should doubt the public position of whatever country you live in, on principle. They might be right, they might be wrong, but usually they don't care about being right or wrong, they care about their agenda. I find it a good idea to keep that in mind.

Meh, a hive mind that fights itself isn't a hive mind.
I had a similar experience this weekend. My artist friends are very open to the idea of moving off of Google, because tracking doesn’t fit with their ethics. But they also want confidence up front that the alternative will work for them and is a popular, polished service.

My experience is that the name ‘DuckDuckGo’ gives a bad first impression and is holding back growth for the product. IMO the brand is in an uncanny valley where the individual words do mean something to everyday people (unlike, say, Google), and there’s a vague allusion to a children’s game, but the concepts don’t come together or inspire confidence. It’s not so much about being ‘childish’ (re: other threads on this page) as it is about being unpolished and a little nonsensical.

They would be better off with 1) a simple one-word name or 2) a more complete name with an obvious and thoughtful layer of meaning, even if more than one word.
Learn not to give a shit about money and find a job that you enjoy.
How do you define outrageous? The shortage is because of how short they last (and the massive spike in demand). If that is the price it takes for supply to meet demand, I can see calling it unnaceptable, but I don't see how it is outrageous, unless you can point to some other decision that led to the cost being nessasary.

In practice, I don't think $10/mast is unnaceptable. That is about 15 minutes worth of an ICU nurse's time[0]. In terms of costs that this pandemic is causing, even "expensive" masks are a cheep.

> Innovative architecture does not equal problems, it is commonly done all over the world.

I believe PaulHoule's point was not that innovative architecture will always be problematic. But, rather, that all buildings will encounter some problems, and those problems will require regular maintenance and solutions. If you have a "normal" house, then those maintenance and solutions are common and there are plenty of people out the in the world that you can hire to fix it. If you have a unique (or rare) kind of building, less people know how to help you.

I am also confused about the train shed example, though. I'm curious to hear a clarification on that point.

Again, I call bullshit. What social norm says a company can’t put together a business model of making n95 masks and trying to sell those? The only social norm is against re-selling for massive gains during a pandemic. Not manufacturing and making a profit.

I also use a spreadsheet.

I only budget for my own finances. I can't make a combined budget because my wife's income is somewhat variable and she doesn't want to make a budget. I guess that's ok since I pay all the bills except for her hobbies, gas, and tires (and when she needs to buy a new car). I tried to get her to chip in for utilities but she doesn't want to, even though she makes roughly 30% of our combined income. She spends as much on her hobbies every month as I do on our mortgage. I also hate my job but can't quit since she won't help with the finances.

Sorry, I guess that turned into a bit of a rant.

Not saying it’s a guarantee — just a good signal. If that signal increases the cumulative probability that you’re someone who’d maybe want the full control panel, to be greater than the probability that you wouldn’t, then it’d make sense to show the notification.

Then again, recalling the marketing of Windows 7 way back when, centralizing notifications like this was supposed to be what the Windows Action Center was for. But they just never added support for arbitrary third-party “actions” to it. Kind of perplexing.

I get what you mean, but it's a civil service with constitutional powers :). And it's designed to 'one day' be 'Presidential'.

Von der Leyen, in her first speech talked about her want to create the 'United States of Europe'. Not only does this hint at the Presidential nature of the role, but also points out the problematic issue with 'lack of democracy' in that voters were told after the election that their leader has a plan for 'existential transformation'. This is not what a bureaucrat does.

As a funny example: imagine waking up in Nov. 2016 and being told that the 'US state delegates' had not actually decided to go with 'Mitt Romney', the official candidate, but they 'changed their minds' and went with some 'outsider' from New York named 'Donald Trump'.

All of that said - the EU is actually more thoughtful about tech legislation than the US gov for sure - that said, the EU is for the most part making rules that ostensibly 'protect' them from outside parties, it would be a different story if MS, FB and G were HQ'd in London, Antwerp and Lisbon.

> Without those laws, the price going from $1 per mask to $10 per mask would still be very much affordable for everyone who really needs a mask, and factories who can successfully get decent production underway will earn lots

Friend owns a textile factory in India. They immediately began production of masks, which they sold at something like a 10,000% premium. (Re-tooling is expensive, so their profits weren’t exorbitant. Though they were larger than normal, which incentivises the work.) Once the premium diminished, they went back to making clothes.

India has anti-gouging laws. But they are loosely enforced to the point of non-existence. In America, we not only have such laws, we also have a media circus and cancel subculture that strongly discourages such responses.

If you’re not a reliable partner how can you expect people to invest? If someone builds a factory in the US, as soon as masks are available from China again the administration will just drop them like a rock and start ordering from China for rock bottom prices again.

I do feel like there are situations where you're creating artwork as a public good, and the artist should lose copyrights in exchange for the notoriety/impact/visibility associated with the project. Things like massive buildings, lighting the Eiffle tower, or creating Happy Birthday should fall under that.

It might sound unfair, but as an artist, creating a iconic piece of art that will be around for generations should really be worth more than money. Perhaps governments around the world could set up a fund to compensate/honor artists who achieve this.
The critical thing is that Fusion 360 and similar tools use a non-destructive parametric workflow. Everything is defined based on sketches with dimensions and constraints like "this angle is 30 degrees, these lines are parallel, this is a right angle, this radius is 3 cm" and you can go back in at any point to change a previous dimension, even if it was on the very first shape you started building from. The whole object recalculates from the new design.

The CAD addons for blender are helpful for doing some more precise drawing actions (like finding the intersection point of two edges, which blender doesn't normally give you), but they're still fundamentally in a destructive mesh workflow. You have a pile of vertices/edges/faces, you do some editing, and you have a different pile of verticies/edges/faces. There's some stuff doable with non-destructive modifiers, but they're for very limited specific tasks.
I have been using fusion 360 as a hobbiest for a few years now, and this is certainly disappointing to see but unfortunately not surprising. I am not a fan of having online based file management either, but that is how a lot of these tools extend themselves to be more of a "service" and then get subscription dollars. Circuit maker by Altium is another example.

One possible alternative is Solid Edge by Siemens- they've had a "community edition" which is free for hobby and education use. It isn't as popular as Solid works or Creo but it is a full featured tool. It does have a full featured price as well of course once you go commerical (these tools are $5-20k per seat per year generally)
