Agree 100%, this is a hill I will die on. The usual counter point is “well you don’t have to use it”, but once it’s there developers will inevitably start to change their software to account for it.

Not to mention that reaching out to touch a vertical surface is clumsy and unergonomic, even if the UI is designed for touch, like an iPad in a keyboard case (which I expect is why they added pointer support).
That can’t keep a project alive.

Next year something else is the new hotness and the people who like that move on.

That's basically the problem, isn't it? In order to address this behaviour, the West would have to admit that it was bad, and that it was also bad when done by western companies, and have a coherent theory of privacy.
Correct, but it is much more typical and common of them than any other nation.

This has been a major issue for decades across many countries, all of whom have been lobbying (for instance in the WTO) to crack down on Chinese IP theft, their use of non-Chinese citizens' data for censorship training purposes, etc
I wonder whether absolute pitch in the sense we consider it today is even applicable to Mozart’s time. Pitch standards are a creature of the 19th century, and before their adoption, pitch varied considerably between cities, orchestras and even buildings.

In that context the timbre of pretty much every non-keyboard instrument would be the only real reference point for how a melody might sound - a bassoon from a maker in Vienna may have been a quarter-tone sharper than one made in Dresden, but they would have had a recognisably similar tone colour when playing eg an E flat.

That’s not to say a freakishly good ear might not have been able to distinguish a Dresden pitch from a Viennese - but as you say, that’s not material to composition. Knowing whether that that E flat will sound confident or mournful would be way more relevant to how it’s used in a phrase and ultimately what key to set the piece in.
> If China wants to use protectionism to wage digital economy warfare, let's respond in kind. No more Wechat, TikTok, Alipay, or League of Legends or Valorant, until China gives equal treatment to foreign internet firms.

That's not how the US Judiciary systems works. You can't ban dozen of apps based on "suspicious behaviour". You need to start an investigation , then you need to collect proofs , then based on those proofs prosecutor we'll be able to decide to sue or not , and ultimately a judge will decide to ban those apps or not.

It's why our western constitutional democracy are doomed to fail.

Our democracies move and react slower than authoritarian regime like China , Russia plus we have many economic interest with them. It's unlikely any politician would ban those apps .

Trump tried with Tik Tok, a judge blocked the order[0], and I agree with the justice. You can't block an app because you don't like it. You need some solid evidence to prosecute and stop a private a entity.

Large part how these Apple's ARM chips are so fast is integration. Just removing DDR4 wires improves memory latency by multiple CPU cycles due to speed of signal in copper. For servers you probably wouldn't want integration, you'd want DIMMs to replace just the failed parts, with ECC.

As Java/.NET consultant I deal with both stacks since they exist, so it is always kind of funny see one side throwing balls to the other one, without realizing their own glass roof.

Doesn't Apple generally make worse cables than the competition?

It is very rare for a PC laptop power cable to break. There's a rubber grommet which protects the cable as it enters the plug from extreme and repeated bending.

For supposed aesthetics, Apple don't include this, and their cables fray easily.

(This is based on my experience managing hardware for a small organization, <50 staff. After about 5 years, Apple laptops come back with damage to the shiny screen from rubbing against the keyboard, and usually a wrecked power supply cable. Sometimes we have to replace the PSU within the 5 years. The rest of the laptop is usually in good condition, i.e. the case, keyboard, ports.

Dell/HP/Lenovo/etc business laptops come back with the cables in good condition, the matt screens suffer less even with similar keyboard marks, but the cases usually look a bit scruffy. Depending on usage, we might have replaced the battery after ~3 years, which is either easily done by the user, or takes 5 minutes with a normal screwdriver to remove the back case.)

Unrelated, sort of, but I was watching Venom the other day and noticed QQ was heavily marketed in the film. Also sponsored and funded by Tencent. This made me feel a bit dirty. I’d never knowingly use any software by them.

Interesting. Can you give an example of a "huge and horrible" abstraction that stems from your usage of DRF?

I remember having the same sentiment a few months back, but investing a considerable amount of time planning the structure of serializers and sticking to DRF's patterns did reduce the amount of "fighting" that I need to do to make my API work as expected.

Offshore wind takes off in China – China Dialogue
I imagine it's "universal" in the sense that it's part of most people's capabilities, but there are disorders that could affect it. One is called Amusia, which is a disorder affecting the ability to perceive music and difficulty remembering music.

There are people who can't imagine pictures in their head, such as your example manipulating 3D scenes in your mind. They couldn't do that. That's known as aphantasia. There are also people without an inner-monologue, so they don't think inside their head. I couldn't find the name of that.

It's an alien world to think of any of those possibilities, I guess you would work around it. I knew a graphic designer with aphantasia, and she was just as capable as the others!
> Hopefully MagSafe in this case means wireless iPhone charging

That would require a massive change, since you can't transmit power through metal. I can't really see the top surface being made out of glass, thus the only other place for charging would be the touchpad.
I guess the people who loathe it (not me though) are very well aware of this particular benefit and still think isn’t enough justification to enable it by default.
The problem with the TouchBar is that it disrupt the flow of attention towards the keys. The cool thing about having just ONE screen is that you can forget about looking your fingers because the content is fixed (not dynamic) and therefore can be internalized. The TB doesn't solve any problem, and by the way, it created a UX's hiccup because:

Attention is limited.
Focus is limited.
Flow is limited.

Relax dude. Tencent QQ does not represent China. It’s just one company.

There is no technical reason or requirement for Apple to be the ultimate gatekeeper of their walled garden just to sandbox file access. But I'm sure they are more than happy to conflate these things in the name of "security".
In the Bay Area at least, there has been a movement toward walkable spaces and car-free boulevards as a reaction to COVID. A number of 'main streets' on the peninsula have been closed to cars, to provide space for struggling restaurants to have outdoor dining.

People are already talking about saving some of these arrangements post-COVID, but we'll see if it actually happens. I imagine the businesses will worry about parking.

As a frequent cyclist to my nearby (now car-free) mini-downtown-and-farmers-market, I'm all for it!
The article says "no, QQ is not stealing your history, you just need to disable the rule and it stops". I guess that's how they cover for themselves.

Others never use SD and have a USB-C to A dongle permanently plugged in (me). The ideal exact connectors probably differ a lot per person, and at least USB-C+Thunderbolt can support everything.

HDMI is probably the least controversial, although there will also be people who never connect external displays.
No, this was exactly my point.

It is a company behind and not a foundation backed by multiple interests. So profit is the main driver. You want to have it open enough so you get community maintained connectors. This pattern is common.

People wouldn't know or care which to pick. They would see the pop-up asking to select a phishing protection provider, would get confused and angry and think "where do I click to get past this pop-up, I want to go on Facebook and this stupid computer is nagging me with stuff again!"

Phishing protection is mostly needed for people who have no clear concept of phishing or technicalities. They just want to do things on the internet, like social media, they don't care about things behind the scenes, that's boring uncool nerd stuff.
Ahh the "universal background checks", that depends on the polling question

Q: Do you support universal background checks?

That will get you a large amount of support

Q: Do you support requiring gun owners to sell, gift or transfer their privately held guns only through licensed dealers?

Your support drops considerably, and that is what "universal background checks" are, an effective ban on private sales of firearms, and that is what the NRA opposed

There is not wide support for banning private sales, but the anti-gun propaganda machine in full force to confuse the issue with things like "Gun show loop hole" and other misleading statements

When in reality if you are a firearms dealer you have to perform a background check universally today, it does not matter if you are selling in a store, a gun show or a back alley if you hold a FFL you must do a background check

The only time a firearm can be transferred with out one is between 2 private citizens and one of the most often way that is done is via gifting. If you are going to tell a Father he can no longer gift a gun to his Son, or a Husband he can no longer gift a gun to his wife (or vice versa) well you are not going to get wide support for that.

>BTW, using a term like "Gun Grabbers" might appeal to those who agree with you, but isn't going to convince anyone on the other side or in the middle of a topic.

Well in times of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. I call it like I see it. After decades and decades of "common sense" gun reform, it is clear that people that advocate for said things will never be appeased until private ownership of guns is prohibited.

In many countries outside the US the term University is protected in law for institutions meeting some very rigorous criteria, so clarifying on what basis it’s called a University on a very international forum like this is useful for those not aware and who might make assumptions about what is meant by University.

Do you have a source for this? I tried signing up on Gitee (Chinese GitHub alternative), and it did not ask me to prove that I had WeChat or a phone number.

Mirroring their projects on GitHub might be fine, but given the current relationship between China and the US (where GitHub is hosted), Chinese developers would be better off hosting their main repo elsewhere.

In general, where there is a touchscreen, there is a dumbed-down UI with significantly reduced functionality.

Touchscreen devices are great for content consumption and communication. But not so much for creating anything.

General purpose computers, with precision input devices, are still required by many for getting serious work (and play) done.
Most games are still optimized for hard disks, sometimes duplicating assets multiple times to sequentially read them when necessary.

The latest consoles have SSDs+APIs that outclass anything available on PC today, so you might see fast NVMe SSDs as a requirement in the future. Even then, games will be optimized for the latency of SSDs, not Optane.

In short: No, that's not a market.

>but otherwise I'm not sure why you claim it doesn't deserve the title "University."

Just because they can use that title doesn't mean they necessarily should, especially an organization rooted in academia that wants to be taken seriously. Even if it is legitimate and well intentioned, spuriously using the term 'university' and having a disclaimer like 'Singularity University is not a degree granting institution' in fine print definitely doesn't send the right message. I don't think it's an issue of whether they deserve to use that term but it gives the illusion that they're in company with other dubious non-accredited 'universities'. It's just bad optics.

Forward secrecy isn't really an issue with email. There are few that would be willing to delete their emails after reading them. Keeping old messages around for all practical purposes negates the value of forward secrecy. Most people like to keep their old messages in an easily accessible form so forward secrecy is not very important for messaging in general.

>...metadata secrecy...

This is not a huge problem with a medium like email where you can be more or less anonymous. Contrast with things like instant messengers that insist on a phone number.

>But it provides a strictly lesser degree of secrecy than modern e2ee messaging applications.

Most of those applications take the form of instant messengers. Since such things by necessity have to leave the private key material exposed all the time they are generally less secure than something like encrypted email where that key material can be kept very locked down.

>...modern SMTP-TLS (which is not e2ee, but does provide some metadata confidentiality and forward secrecy) may in fact be an improvement over PGP.

True enough. SMTP-TLS does provide even more security to the encrypted email user. Most importantly, it prevents passive listeners from detecting that an email was encrypted and thus worthy of further interest.

I can't help but point out that this sort of discussion is an excellent example of the state of denial that exists with respect to end to end encrypted messaging these days. Rather than addressing the broader overall issues we are quibbling about obscure technical details.
