Multiply that by millions of people and 10s of millions of devices and it is a pretty big deal. How is advocating for a standard so that every purchase wasn’t a crap shoot a bad thing? Having to sort through reviews just to attempt to determine basic functionality is ridiculous. I don’t read reviews to find out of a table lamp will plug into the wall because the basic standard of delivery power over a power cable is a given because of a set standard.
A simple pictorial system for showing these capabilities should have been part of the spec, like how USB-A connectors must have the USB logo on the top. Most manufacturers complied with that.
Aha - you may find that this is not true at all.

Not only has the Switch always charged safely, later revisions are also more compliant. The issue has always been with the charger and dock. Never PD compliant chargers straight in the switch.

The thunderbolt 3 + usb C thing is true though. My Thunderbolt 3 dock won't charge a non-TB3 device. I'd consider that a minor issue though, especially as USB4 fixes it entirely.

> I think its advocates should just man up and admit it: UBI is communism rebranded.

It isn't at all!

Communism is a lot of central planning and giving you what you're not allowed to choose for yourself.

(As a result, you have to curry favours and engage in politics and deals to get good things, which you can just buy in non-communist countries.)

UBI is literally giving you flexible resources, to choose for yourself what to do with.

(The entire point is to support personal freedom and self-determination. It's very much a "personal enterprise" sort of culture.)

In that way they are polar opposites on the political map. And UBI is much more aligned with the ideals of USA culture.
From my understanding it's a motherboard layout/cooling issue. Not going to fix that with software.
Cool stuff. Does Gebug support other runtimes in addition to Go?
> That's just not how people make decisions at that level. If you want a kid you get a kid and you roll with it. You know it's gonna be expensive but you just deal.

The way I think about it as that these laws only need to affect some families that are on the margin. Are there some families that are just on the fence and tossing up whether to have a third child? It seems likely to me. As long as this cost is a significant one, it just needs to move the needle for these groups to show up in aggregate effects. Lots of people will make the same choice either way, whether it's to have a third child or not have a third child. Our predictions are for people right on the margin.

>Controlling for income is really really hard since basically everything about lifestyle has some relation to income.

We use county-by-year fixed effects to take out the average effect of birth rates in that county and year, whatever form that variation takes. So if it's just that Cook County in Illinois got richer one year and so had more children, this will be absorbed by the fixed effects, and our car seat impacts are considered relative to this baseline. We also control for birth rates for that number of children and age combination, so we're comparing essentially two families with a six year old and a three year old, but in one state/year they both have to be in car seats, and in the other one only one child has to.
Sorry, but that’s about as stupid as ferry companies only being profitable due to the duty-free shops.

I understand it’s as simple as that, but it seems incredible wasteful to operate a transport company only to be able to make money on credit cards or cheap alcohol.

And is that why US airlines appear to be better of finacially than the European airlines?
Not OP, but I learned MIG at my local community college about 15 years ago. It was mostly pipe-fitters getting certified in the class and I was able work on whatever projects I wanted. I started with stick, then went to MIG, and then did a follow on class where I told them I just wanted to do Oxy-Ace. I think now they offer a more variety of classes, for people who want to do art and such.

If I recall, flux core is dirtier, and having a tank of argon on your cart isn't too expensive for a shielding gas. I lived in a studio and luckily my neighbors were cool with me running a chops saw.
Yes, that's the point. These organizations holding my PII haven't historically given half a damn if all my data gets exfiltrated or not. By electing to pursue the other side of the coin these attackers provide incentive for those companies to batten down the hatches, causing my PII to become more protected as a side-effect, thus leading to a greater feeling of safety.
Three things I love about USB-C

1. Charging is like 90% of what I use cables for, and I can just have the same cable for everything

2. USB-C displays are fantastic, one cable to my MacBook that handles charging, display output, USB-A ports etc

3. The only time I ever use USB-C ports for anything other than charging is from my MacBook, and so far every adapter/display etc has just worked
The internet needs our love
Oh! Well, I'm embarrassed... ^_^

Makes much more sense now, thanks.
> At the end of the day, it is the government's responsibility to say no.

That right there should be a huge red flag. Any time the citizenry gives the government the option to behave wrongly, the rights and freedoms of citizens are eroded.

Right, that's what I'd call a mess. The purpose of a standard should be that if a product conforms to it, the consumer can trust that the product will work.

That isn't the case with USB-C.

I've had some "USB-C" cables that can charge but not transmit video, some that can transmit video but not charge, and some that can do both. It shouldn't be possible to sell a cable that can't do both and call it USB-C.
> TLDR: Testing assumptions is very important. Lives depend on it.

100% this! Masks are one of those "obvious" things. But scientific inquiry has repeatedly shown we need to test obvious things. Preferably before making legally binding policies.
I haven't read this entire blog post in detail, but I've worked extensively in the past with improving page load times. The approach that works best:

1. Have your initial landing page load and render as fast as possible, and cut stuff out to make this happen.

2. That initial page will usually take the user at least a couple seconds to read. While they are doing that, you can load stuff in the background that is needed for other parts of your site, like larger JS bundles. There are a number of ways to do this.

50 light years is the generally accepted distance that would cause problems. There are no candidates this close that could cause a type II supernova (this is when a massive old star, like Betelgeuse, collapses), but there could be potential type I supernovae lurking closer. These are binary pairs of a white dwarf and another star where the white dwarf is accreting mass from the companion and reaches a limit (the Chandrasekhar mass) where runaway nuclear fusion spontaneously occurs.
Thanks! Currently it does not.

A compendium of invented words written by John Koenig, that aims to fill holes in the language—to give a name to emotions we all feel but don't have a word for. The author's mission is to capture the aches, demons, vibes, joys and urges that roam the wilderness of the psychological interior. Each sorrow is bagged, tagged and tranquilized, then released gently back into the subconscious.
Neither are you or I. We're just expressing opinions. Like Cicero.
In the world before centralized MDM systems which were independent of their other enterprise operational/transactional systems, some organizations treated the data in their core enterprise systems as "master files" (I'm talking about quite a while ago).

"The concept of master files was transferred to some corporate computers as early as the 1960s and gained popularity during the 1970s and 80s when computers became more abundant. Master files contain essentially the same descriptive data – such as names, addresses, and basic summary information – as master data. Master files continue to be used as a part of some system databases and were a precursor to master data." [1]

meh... I asssure you a bunch of that its only impostor syndrome... we need only keep doing it. Mastery comes later

It happens to my here and there.
If they do, they don’t enforce them.

Which makes sense to me, because “licensing the port design” would involve trying to extract money from the wrong people — it would target the bulk parts manufacturers producing the USB-C connectors. Those parts manufacturers would have to pay per connector-part produced in such a scheme. Those businesses 1. operate on razor-thin margins such that there’s no margin to extract there, and 2. don’t have nearly the tight logistics pipelines that consumer-electronics companies do, so there’d likely be huge bins of USB-C connectors laying around awaiting an order, where they’d have to eat the licensing fees in advance of receiving payment for the parts (which puts a big hole in their cashflow.)

Much better to go after the high-margin device manufacturers and OEM integrators. But you can’t really pursue them for infringing on the part; they didn’t make it, they just bought it. They’d tell you to go chase the people they bought it from. (And, as said above, you don’t want to do that.) Instead, you have to pursue them for something they’re doing. Such as adding the USB logo to their product.

All you really need to do to get a 100 perf score is to cut out any unused elements, only load the CSS you need, load any JS you need as late as possible (defer the <script> at least), and optimize your fonts and images. If you're using a decent host that has a point of presence fairly close to where Lighthouse is running then you should get a decent score. My own website has a 4x100 Lighthouse score.

The problem with that is most people don't keep USB cables in their original packaging. How am I going to know the specs of a particular cable when it's sitting loosely in a drawer with 20 other USB cables?
> the political stuff never is about anything that Google does

Huh? https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/27/18114285/google-employee...
Yeah I have to say I share that sentiment.

Now when I travel I use my Lenovo charger to charge my Android phones and tablet.

Unfortunately work provides me with an iPhone so that's still one more charger. One more piece of plastic floating around the ocean in the future. God damnit apple...
The Pixel phone setup was very, very good. It copied all of the data off my old phone and was off and running. I don't even think I had to re-enter passwords.

I like the Google assistant. It's useful for "set timer 15 minutes" while my hands are dirty from cooking. (I had an even better use, "Remind me at 8 PM to take out the trash" while I'm driving, but for some idiotic reason "Reminders are currently not available for GSuite users"[1]).

Agreed, explicit is almost exactly opposite from the truth for owners. I guess if you're a hardware implementer and poke around you'll find people saying it's not USB-C, but that's not in any way Nintendo being explicit. Why they might have been explicit about would be to never use anything that wasn't Nintendo branded at a major markeup. After the last few decades of profiteering a lot of users have been trained to assume that the only reason is money.
One of the interesting things about the feedback we've gotten on the paper has been the number of people who report that this problem is a pain for them, even if it doesn't rise as far as stopping them having another child. To us, this makes it more likely that this pain (if real) is actually deterring some people who are at the margin.
I own a 4k @ 60Hz monitor. If I were to buy a laptop, I'd like to connect it and a bunch of USB devices via a single USB C cable. Easy, right?

Except that the monitor only supports DisplayPort 1.2. 4k60 requires a bandwidth of 12.54 Gbit/s. DP 1.2 consists of four data lanes, each providing 4.32 GBit/s, so my monitor requires four full lanes. DP 1.3 and up provide at least 7.48 Gbit/s, so 4k60 would only require two lanes for that.

USB C consists of 4 data lanes. When using the DisplayPort alternate mode, it can assign either 1, 2, or 4 data lanes to DP. The other lanes can be used for USB. In addition to that, it also offers a single USB 2.0 lane.

If a dock - even an expensive one - supports a resolution of 4k60 via DP and provides USB 3 ports, will it actually work for me? It could use DP 1.2 by assigning four data links to DP , but that means USB gets downgraded to 2.0 and I don't think any hub actually supports this. It could use DP 1.3+ and assign two data links to DP and two to USB, but if it outputs that same DP signal, it won't provide the bandwidth my monitor needs so it must actively convert two-link DP 1.3 to four-link DP 1.2. Again, I don't think any hub actually supports this.

The hardware I need can definitely exist. It's a pretty normal thing to ask for. A lot of docks, even the expensive ones, will claim to support what I need, but as far as I can tell not a single dock actually can. Because USB C has so many protocol options, figuring out what is supported has become nearly impossible.
