If it's more than 60s or 90s, depending on whether the microwave starts when you hit +30s, you just use the actual time, which is usually 4-5 button presses including hitting start.

For many things, I agree that dials are the easiest. The only downsides are needing to be careful if you want exact times and not having adjustable power levels. A microwave with a dial for power would be awesome though.

This should also entail – but is not limited to – ensuring that the citizen’s consent in the use of their data is really informed.

As far as I can tell 'informational privacy' == embellished 'data privacy', and the article seems to go in the direction that privacy should be automatic even when users are uninformed.

The graph of the distribution for value per person must be wierd, and definitely not flat. Maybe based on a power law, but I am unsure how to model the people that provide negative value, for example bad managers.
True but offtopic or supportive of parents point, which is that running off on tangents is not the purpose of the corporation.
Laws that provide meaningful mechanisms like this would also be a good signal to keep companies from being in such a powerful position. That is good for everyone.

As I've said, I think Apple is too big. I hope we can find an argument to use against Apple.

However, I think you are misremembering the MS case. As I recall from the time, a lot of that case hinged on the fact that MS was a software maker, not a hardware maker. So "the market" was defined as "all PCs," and a lot of what got MS in trouble was leveraging their dominant market position with Windows to force PC manufacturer to pay them license fees even for computers that didn't have Windows pre-installed.

Since Apple makes their own hardware, the situation is not really analogous to the big MS case. As far as I can tell, Apple doesn't seem to be leveraging their market position (in any market) to force suppliers to pay Apple even when Apple isn't involved. That is, they aren't demanding any percentage of payment to Epic on non-iOS devices, right? So that's the center of the MS antitrust case with no obvious parallel.

As far as imagining, I think it's really easy to imagine more direct parallels with Epic's case. Sony makes their own gaming hardware and exerts tight control over the PlayStation sales channel, including demanding a large cut of both initial sales and IAP. Microsoft makes their own gaming hardware and exerts tight control over the Xbox sales channel, including demanding a large cut of both initial sales and IAP. One question that has come up in court already is why Epic is fighting against Apple on this, but not Sony or Microsoft. I think it's a good question.

Look, I've said repeatedly: I think Apple is too big. I believe something needs to be done, and maybe the iOS App Store is a good place to start. But I don't think Epic's case is any good at all, and I'm not sure there is a strong case against the iOS App Store other than: "we need to do something, and this annoys me." Which... I guess we just need to make that sound better.

Bankers have an interest in discouraging work from home because its decimating commercial real estate, on which they undoubtedly have a lot of loans outstanding. So naturally their solution to reduced tax revenues, out of all the options just accidentally happens to penalize the shift that’s harming their business interests. Funny that.
Even if it doesn't answer every question it gives you at least some insight into the scale and scope of what they did. Sure numbers can always be fudged but it's better than no numbers.

That's not what I'm getting at. Regardless of the details of the cloud offerings, migrating from Linux to Apple Silicon would help the MacOS and iOS developer experience, because it'll all (MacOS, iOS, Apple's rack OS) be using their BSD-derived Unix OS under the covers.

Right now Apple's cloud engineers are to some extent helping Linux be a better OS by filing bug reports, creating PRs, etc. That activity, directed toward an Apple Silicon rack OS, would redound to those of us sitting behind MacBooks, typing into the terminal, treating it as a Unix box with nice driver support.

Again, your faith believes false accusations against perceived heretics are acceptable tactics; your word against them is less than empty.

Your ancestors and plenty of other examples throughout history are proof where censorship and book burning lead. The principle of sunlight is the best disinfectant has proven time and again to be true and the only people who argue against it are those being shown to be wrong under the light. Yes it permits the odd crazies to exist on the fringe, that's fine; flat earthers anti-vaxers and the rest were pointed at and laughed at long before the recent desperate grab for censorship by authoritarians was made.

Open access to information is only a problem in the eyes of those who want to misslead.
>I always advocate against opt-outs for security features like this [...] Because most users are not capable of evaluating the impact of opting out of a security process.

I agree fully with the author's characterizations of the dangers of disabling features or ignoring warnings, but I can't possibly agree with the conclusion that users should not be given a choice. So what if the user cannot understand the technical terms of a popup warning them about malware risk? How does that justify taking away their freedom to proceed anyway and run the program? The author's attitude is patronizing (and also intellectually dishonest as explained already by another commenter [1]).

There are lots of domains in life where we're out of our depth and make decisions anyway that might be dangerous, and we don't have anyone trying to hold or hand or to stop us altogether. Imagine you get into your Apple Car and plot a course on the GPS. The computer's voice says "there is a dangerous stretch of road on the plotted itinerary; please wait for your assigned Formula 1 driver to drive you to your destination". The car refuses to move no matter what you do. Half an hour later a small guy with a thick neck shows up, enters the car (because they've got the keys apparently) unlocks it so it can finally move and explains to you "oh yeah, a car fell down a cliff on that road back in 93". You complain about them not even apologizing for the delay. "You accepted the Terms and Conditions, didn't you?"

I get that the lack of freedom to run potentially malicious programs might be a feature, not a bug of Apple's systems. But I don't see them advertising it as what it is in practice. The notion of "false advertising" is well known and understood, but what about the notion of absence of advertising for a feature that might be unwanted to the point of making at least some potential buyers balk? Is there even a name for that?

Whether before the purchase of an Apple system or later at program startup time, the user should be able to make a decision as to whether to give Apple control of their computer in the fashion we've seen. All the necessary information and data should be provided to them. Whatever choice they make should be respected and they should not be judged for it, even if they did not understand the provided information. But the decision should not be made by some security nerd on a massive ego and power trip, imparting their enlightened guidance to "the lowest common denominator".

Stop arguing with a false premise.

The issue here is whether courts in Austria have the right to constrain people's public statements to some standard of demonstrable truthfulness, or not.
Some of those proposals are good, others are terrible and totally unrealistic. In particular requiring law enforcement to always give a warning before using deadly force and ban shooting at moving vehicles will put them and the general public at greater risk. Sure police should issue a warning whenever possible but there are always going to be exceptional situations. For example terrorist attacks, mass shootings, and hostage situations.

Buried a few paragraphs deep in the article: "The revised semiclassical theory has yet to explain how exactly the information gets out..."

So maybe the old paradox has some life left in it yet.
This article briefly touches the real explanation:

> When we listen to prestige, we're often opting for a path of certainty, while foregoing whatever promising thing was just around the corner.

But it doesn't quite dwell on it as the important component of the answer that it truly is. Prestige and credentialism certainly have to do with peer pressure, but they also have a lot to do with risk reduction. And this is true on both sides of the equation.

If your job is to obtain a top 0.01% quality engineer, should you just hire from a top tier university? Probably not. That's not to say that a top 0.01% engineer wouldn't go to a top tier university. They well might. But it's not a very strong filter for that level of quality. What it is, however, is a very strong filter for say, top 30% quality.

When you hire from a top tier university, you aren't getting the very best. What you are getting is a very strong guarantee that someone is at least a certain level of quality. A Harvard or Stanford degree most certainly does not guarantee excellence. But it does guarantee a minimum standard of competence and work ethic. When you hire from one of these places, you can be reasonably certain that you are not hiring the human equivalent of a lemon.

The same is true on the flip side for an employee seeking jobs. If you go work at FAANG, one of the big three consulting firms, or Goldman, you are almost certainly not choosing the absolute best possible career path at that moment for yourself. What you are doing is selecting a career path that will be very good, with very high certainty.

In finance terms, these choices are optimal, because they maximize the Sharpe ratio of your career/hiring process. That is, they maximize the risk-adjusted return of your decisions. People who go to top tier universities have already demonstrated a preference for a lower risk path in life.
Perfect example of why Musk’s no silo rule helps his companies so much.
Disclaimer: I’m a chip design enthusiast and not a professional, but this is how I understand things right now.

If you read the anandtech article describing the A14/M1 chips, it seems that the ARM ISA lets Apple do some things that are either exceptionally hard or impossible on x86, like making individual cores much “wider” in terms of instruction decode, allowing the A14/M1 cores to do significant parallel execution. This allows their cores to be significantly more efficient in terms of instructions per clock cycle. To be clear this isn’t just the benefits of ARM - Apple is far ahead of other ARM designers as well. On the other hand, the wider the execution pipeline, generally the slower the cores have to be clocked (Im actually not sure why this is, to be honest). This is part of how Intel is able to produce chips in the 5.0+ GHz range.

So it’s not that every designer converges to the same design (internally, they’re quite different). Instead, what’s happening is that all the relevant trade offs (pipeline width and depth, ISA, fab tech, power targets, etc) are leaving competitors within an order of magnitude in performance. And the question of who’s going to take the lead is a question of who’s executing best on all these fronts, and who’s currently got a lot of talent working on areas that will see continued improvement.

But whatever happens, I wouldn’t bet against Apple. Their team has been delivering improvements like clockwork, year over year for quite a long time now.

Samsung is not that bad. They just announced a 5nm chip; it's not as good as TSMC but it's not as far behind as Intel either.
Learnings from a 22-year-old girl building a business
The pixel devices last at least 28 days on battery when all default services are enabled, the phone is connected to 4g and WiFi, and is otherwise idle (including no emails received).

To achieve this, you need a mobile network supporting the standards allowing it to sleep for X number of beacon frames. There are also some things the mobile network needs to support.

The minute you install any apps, or start syncing any changing data, that 28 days goes down to 1 or 2 days...

Nobody has mentioned it in the comments: because their money maker is in 5G modems (and of course LTE et al before). The ARM SoC is a bonus they throw on for their customers that need the integration (Android vendors, but not Apple).
@Latty points out a very valid point that this is a concurrency bug. However, you can recover it in the same way that other concurrency system use optimistic concurrency (e.g. most STM implementations).

You have a `numberOfOperations` field in your model that is incremented every time a message is processed and then check that your incoming new model has a `numberOfOperations` value that is exactly one larger than the current value. If not you then fire off a `Cmd` asking for a recomputation of the original message.

However, that can get pretty hairy pretty quickly (since you may not have a nice way of asking for recomputation) so I'm not sure if it ends up working out in the end.

> American individualism so often deflects the responsibility of dealing with such trauma on those who are subjected to this kind of harassment because it's not impacting the vast majority of the population ("not my problem").

It's not individualism, it's constitutional rights. The idea of american individualism is not true. We are a collectivist people - racial, native vs foreign born, protestant vs catholic, confederates vs union, etc.

> In fact, has there been another Western democracy more tested and compared to Orwell's 1984 in the last 5 years than the US?

"Last five years". And what happened?

> The worse that harassment gets online, I believe the more segmented and walled off and commercialized the internet will become.

No. As sneaky politically driven people use the death of children to demand censorship, that's when the internet will become more segmented, walled off and commercialized.

People like you are why there is ever more censorship, segmentation and commercialization. Clutching your pearls and screaming about the children while you only care about political censorship. Do you ever clutch your pearls and cry over the millions of children who are killed in wars? Or do you only cry for them when they serve your political agenda? It can't be an accident that in the last few years, a small but vocal contingent has used dead children at every opportunity to push for more censorship.
One of the problems is that "measured by Y" often does not exist, so if it is included, it is misleading, lacking context, or just whatever number could be found.

A colleague of mine probably doubled the speed of an API by deleting a feature on that page. The only reason we know is that it is noticeable how much faster it is in manual testing. Took him a few minutes to remove the function and run the tests. "Cut API load time by 50% with optimization of Hibernate queries" is true, but also ridiculous.

On my own resume, I have played with the words to arrive at the largest number possible for the scale of what I did. As we didn't numerically measure anything, so it was massaging of a number into a number that was large. Recruiters seem to react well to it, but it is absurd that they do.

I don't disagree that this works. I use it on my own resume. I don't think that is the problem HN has. It is just expressing annoyance that we have to play another stupid game to get hired.

Or compliance, because having already taken the corporate position that certain electoral messaging is so misleading and damaging it needs content warnings, shadowbanning or even deletion, it would be frankly weird for Facebook to sacrifice its Austrian business on the altar of insisting that actually a series of courts are wrong and memes accusing a leading Green Party figure of being a fascist are not libel but an important truth the world must know.

> The rate of violence in those with mental health issues is the same as the general population.

But what about the rate of violence among mental ill people who are committing some action that warrants a 9-11 call? What exactly leads to someone calling 9-11? It isn’t that someone is sitting in their house mentally ill — they are doing some action that is concerning enough to warrant a callout. So among that group of mentally ill, what’s the violence rate compared to the “general population.” It’s going to necessarily be higher.

I honestly think most people opining on the subject have never worked as a front line first responder before. It’s like news pundits talking about battlefield tactics when they have never been in combat. Lethal force should obviously be a last option, but when some literally insane person starts lunging at you with a knife all that theory of “the best way” goes out the window. There are thousands of mental health “dangerous” 9-11 calls happening every day and the vast majority end peacefully. Police on-duty firearms discharges are very rare but people act like it’s an epidemic because these incidents get magnified and broadcast to make people think it’s a frequent occurrence. How many mental health 9-11 calls end violently? 1 out of 10,000? 1 out of 100,000? Without knowing that number, any implication that this is a systemic problem is grounded in emotion rather than data. There are also unintended consequences. Saving that 1 out of 10,000, could result in an increase in risk that would offset any gains from such policies.

If NYC wants to experiment, good for them. I am not opposed to a better way. I am concerned about unintended consequences of policies — consequences that are often ignored.
Hey, it just hit me: Is there a search engine (meta or otherwise out there) where I can up/downvote sites (or otherwise customize the rankings)?

Let's say I search for something HTML/JS/CSS related, I would generally want to prioritize MDN over W3Schools, but now I'm at the mercy of whatever the search engine decides is higher relevancy.

I realize dynamic search results could be quite heavy, but it wouldn't necessarily have to be...

Or if I'm just tired of CNN results when searching for news topics I could just downvote them and get other news sites prioritized.

I don't want a search engine to choose these preferences/filters for me, and I don't want "unfiltered" stuff like conspiracy theories in my top hits either just because they're popular.
