If you are going to recount what he said at least mention the quote: “Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous ultra violet or just very powerful light”

What the original post mentions is directly hitting the virus. If we hit the body with enough UV light to destroy the virus inside us we would destroy the body too.
Uh? I'm not sure I understand your question. The argument doesn't apply because we're talking about the quality of the phone, not the generic freedom of its users. Of course the users are free to use a different phone. Actually, they might be forced to because the phone they bought will refuse to do what they ask it to. Which sucks.

It's more complex and nuanced than this what you've stated of course, why it's so confusing. Arguably, aside from security risk of the CCP having access to the data, banning apps is an leverage against the CCP having economic access to Americans to help influence the CCP to stopping their human rights abuses.

If the CCP had allowed the United Nations to visit the prisons/concentration camps to interview prisoners (etc) then this could have all quickly gone away, assuming the CCP was being honest about what was happening at these concentration camps and the UN could confirm that on the ground.
I don't have a problem with this, at all. With that being said, my phone (OnePlus 7T) has a "Zen Mode" which locks you out of the phone for a set period of time. You can make and receive phone calls, and take photos, but that is it.

I don't use it, as I am not a heavy phone user, but I can see where it may be helpful for some people.

If we take a color-only cube, the only state information that is aliased away is the rotation of the center pieces of the faces. If we add orientation marks so that the solution has to have the center faces in a certain orientation, then we get what is sometimes called a "supercube":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube#Centre_faces

There are simple moves that will rotate pairs of centre faces.

Cubes from rubiks.com have a logo in the white centre, which gives it an orientation. Using that you can demonstrate moves which flip that centre 180 degrees while keeping the cube solved.

All other pieces have an orientation that is visible; they do not have multiple orientations that are indistinguishable by color.
First of all, with the caveat that, as is so common with psych studies, this was performed on undergraduates only. There is no reason to assume that this would necessarily extend to a 30-year-old mother, a 40-year business executive, etc. (To the contrary, one could also imagine that having their phone on them increased their capacity to think about other things, with the peace of mind that they can get things done efficiently.)

But secondly, the headline to the paper "reduces available cognitive capacity", while written to sound bad, isn't obviously bad at all.

Your overall cognitive capacity isn't reduced -- it's just some is being taken up by thinking about your phone. One hypothesis could be that if you're able to be reached, then you spend time worrying about the things people will be reaching you for -- if you've sent that e-mail, if you've finished that report, if you've decided whether or not to go to that event.

That these are things you have to figure out or do anyways, and if you're not worrying about them now, you'll still have to later. Yes, removing the smartphone lets you relax for now, but that's just temporary. Otherwise it might be happening later over dinner instead.

What would be more interesting would be to find variance in the data -- which participants had reduced cognitive capacity and which didn't -- and then correlate that with other reported differences, such as their stress levels, to-do's, obligations, etc.

I'm quite sure the answer isn't as simple as "smartphones make us dumb", but closer to the truth that in being instantly connected to other people, that's something our brain is busy managing. But you know what? That may very well be a net benefit -- that being connected allows us to achieve our goals better, more, faster. That the cognitive capcity it's using is a good use.
We've gone from "it's a service to share photos with friends" to "Sure, the camera is on, but it's not recording or transmitting!"

Advocating for the Devil generally gets you sent to hell. At this point I don't even really care to hear legitimate technical reasons for this because time and time and time and time again, Facebook continually acts in antisocial ways, and it does so with impunity. I'm so sick of it, and I'm so sick of the apologetics.

Facebook is incentivized to do bad things. Facebook indeed does bad things. Any action they take needs to be examined through that lens. Facebook started out as a social network (well, originally it was a tool to stalk women), and rapidly grew to be a democracy-ending ad machine.

So please don't sit there and make excuses for this company.
> I'm surprised people are taking this ban at face value.

Yeah, it's astounding how quickly these discussions focused in on "well, what are the pros and cons of banning an app? When is an app a national security issue? What is an appropriate trade retaliation?" and completely missed the fact that - hey, the US government is, for the first time, using the Commerce department to dictate what code you can execute on your own device. It's absolutely disheartening how many people are getting distracted from the real issue here.

This is another trial balloon to expand executive power, and they're going to get away with it because "national security."
Maybe "the best" person behind these decisions wasn't making an emotional play but a business decision that will pay off.

Maybe (and very likely) your armchair analysis just makes a lot of presumptions that aren't accurate. By drafting this kind of analysis with your comment on "the best", you've basically claimed that you're the best, and you're scratching your head why Apple isn't making decisions that seem obvious to you as an HN reader who is well-read in the articles about Apple.

Not trying to be mean. It's just a weird read like those long financial analysts back-splaining or predicting stock performance based on a graph.

React can be added to a page with just a script tag in the same way as Vue:

https://reactjs.org/docs/add-react-to-a-website.html

Having said that, React is normally used with JSX syntax, which requires a compile step.

You _can_ use it with "raw" `React.createElement()` calls, but that's generally unwieldy and almost no one does that.

However, there's a very neat library called https://github.com/developit/htm , which is an almost-JSX-compatible syntax that uses JS template literal strings, and requires no compile step.
> No, I'm suggesting that their tactics are neither anti-competitive nor draconian. Epic violated the terms of a store that they willingly entered into. Apple owns the App Store.

I think perhaps you don't know what anti-competitive means, or are thinking of it purely as a portion of monopolistic practices. Apple's actions in multiple levels of their platform are by definition anti-competitive.

> They do not have a monopoly on ...

A monopoly is not a prerequisite for anti-competitive practices, it's just something the U.S. identified in the late 1800's and early 1900's as something that makes anti-competitive practices very effective, so laws were made to combat them because they are easier to identify and classify. Stopping anti-competitive behavior that harms consumers (though increased prices and reduced options) is the goal. Stopping monopolies is just a side-effect.

I had a similar misunderstanding when I first saw it, but globally declaring reactive variables and passing them around isn't really what it's about. Take, for example: https://github.com/antfu/vueuse/blob/master/packages/core/us.... Any component that wants to use a reactive reference to mouse coordinates can `const { x, y } = useMouse()` in `setup`, but `x` and `y` will refer to different objects in each of those components (since the `ref()` is instantiated inside the call to `useMouse()`). The functionality is what's shared between components, not the state/references.

That said, if you want to use the composition api to share state you can, and you can pretty easily set up some structure to restrict mutability:

// useStore.ts
import { reactive, readonly } from 'vue'

export const useStore = () => {
const state = reactive({ count: 0 })
const increment = (val = 1) => state.count += val

return {
state: readonly(state), // Readonly so state can't be mutated directly...
increment, // ...only through the mutations provided, like Vuex
}
}

// store.ts
import { useStore } from './useStore'
export const store = useStore() // Now components can share this instance

// MyCounter.vue
import { store } from './store'

export default {
setup: () => ({
count: store.state.count,
onClick: () => store.increment(5),
}),
}

Or you can just keep using Vuex for sharing state and use the composition API for sharing self-contained bits of functionality. Or, if nothing else, using the `setup` method instead of the Options API just gives you much more control over how you organize your own code within a component.
I think all of those differences (time-scales, capital intensity/efficiency, credit access) are accounted for by the translation between the type of company that would buy a combine harvester Vs the kind of company that would buy a SAN. I totally get the desire from consumers for a right to repair, but ultimately I feel that this shouldn't override the freedom of economic actors to make voluntary agreements in the marketplace. And in the case of agricultural equipment I can see why some vendors would want to move to a Trusted Computing model whereby every component authenticated with every other component via HSMs, addressing the problems such as theft (which is widespread in some parts of the world) by making stolen devices/parts practically useless, which would obviously conflict with a Right to Repair (as well as any purposefully user-hostile ambitions that they had).

Palmer lucky literally did built the first Occulus in his garage. I don't think it's fair to compare this technology to the moon landing.

You're right that some sort of ready player one metaverse thing is probably on that level, but creating genuinely interesting, fun VR experiences that may in many ways be more interesting and unique does not to me seem beyond the scope of small scale business.

In a sense VR is one of the purest versions of that sort of cyberspace idealism, it's an escape hatch away from curated, corporate products to whatever people want to make. So I'm not pessimistic that creative people find things to built.

They didn't target the hospital:

It was a long time but the ARM1 didn't benefit because of the development of Moore's law over that period - if you look at the process, die size and clock speed it's all comparable with the 8086 - the ARM1 was built with very mature (and cheap) technology.

As has been said elsewhere the ARM1 wouldn't have worked commercially in 1978 because of code density and bus width.

It could be market manipulation. If you have an open driver, you can use the hardware any way you want. If the only well performing or functional driver is a blob, they can decide to charge you for using specific features. Like with some enterprise use cases and etc.

The whole value proposition of emulation handhelds pretty much assumes rampant piracy of old titles, which gets especially murky when you have, say, a SNES game which is abandonware, clearly unavailable except at collector prices, whatever, but then it got remastered for the GBA or DS, and is definitely still available for purchase in the 3DS online store (alarm bells).

Besides that the population of these devices is relatively small, it seems there are a lot of subtle incompatibilities between them too, in terms of button quantity and layout, number of analog sticks (ranges from zero to two), etc.

So yeah, I'm sure someone will try it at some point, but it's not hard to see that this isn't a super appealing target for trying to stand up a paid app store. The best-case scenario I could imagine would be an all-you-can-eat Netflix-style affair where you pay $10/mo for access to a rotating catalogue of titles that are a mix of native ports, emulation under legal license, etc. On the other hand, if legal emulation was part of the pitch, it's hard to imagine it going anywhere without classic NES and SNES titles, and Nintendo would have basically zero incentive to legitimize such an effort by playing ball with it, when they're actively selling those titles under emulation on their own storefronts for their own hardware.

Taiwan: The threat that the world ignores
An auditor was fooled while he was in the room watching while the ceo downloaded bank account statements (pages 10/11 of https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/press-release/file/1317641...):

d. As part of its due diligence process, the Audit Firm had an employee
(the “Auditor”) conduct a physical site visit at NS8’s offices in Las Vegas,
Nevada. The Auditor was directed by a more senior Audit Firm employee to have
someone from NS8 log in to the online portal for each NS8 bank account, display
the current account balance, and download monthly bank statements for fiscal
year 2019.

e. Based on my interview with a member of the NS8 finance department
(“Finance Employee-1”), I have learned, among other things, that on or about
March 11, 2020, Finance Employee-1 and ROGAS met with the Auditor in ROGAS’s
office. The purpose of that meeting was for ROGAS and Finance Employee-1 each
to log into the online portals for the bank accounts to which they had access
(for ROGAS, the Revenue Bank Account) and download monthly account statements
for the Auditor. During that meeting, Finance Employee-1 logged into the online
portal for the Expense Bank Account -- to which Finance Employee-1 had access
-- and downloaded monthly account statements. Finance Employee-1 understood
that ROGAS was doing the same for the Revenue Bank Account during the meeting.

f. Late in the evening on or about March 11, 2020, the Auditor emailed another
employee as follows: “Attached please find the bank statements and
screenshots that I observed [Finance Employee-1] and Adam [ROGAS] download this
afternoon.” Attached to that email, among other things, were the
Fraudulent Bank Statements for the Revenue Bank Account for the period from
January 2019 through February 2020.
