>Actually, now that we're digital, the economies of scale of music are similar to software, in that they are massive

Is this the case? It seems that there's the fundamental limitation of 10 musicians not being able to record a song in 1/10th of the time. Certainly there are SOME economies of scale, but it seems a little incredible that music would be as "factory producible" as something like a bookshelf or a car.

> The advent of physical media and distribution control enabled them to form these cartels, and extract rents to enable luxurious "rockstar" lifestyles for a select few.

This seems incongruous with the rest of what you are saying. Yes clearly there is an entrepreneurial component of music, and absolutely eg. SoundCloud and BandCamp is enabling independent artists in new and important ways. That doesn't change the fact that massive financial institutions are rent-seeking the bejeezus out of the bulk of the industry in a way that (to me) would appear to hurt competition.
I posit that people are primed to use words and phrases they've seen recently. Especially terms that are known, yet uncommon, because they stand out so much.

> The western world can't.

I'm not sure if you've been paying attention, but supply chains have been moving to Vietnam/Malaysia/Indonesia/India/Mexico for the last few years, and the trend is only increasing.

There's literally a growing military alliance (US, India, Australia, Japan) against China right now. Also not to mention other countries (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, US) actively incentivizing their companies to onshore or move out of China. And because South China Sea is crucial to the growth of SE Asian economies, now France/UK/Germany along with Japan/US have warships sailing there to stop China's expansion.

So yes, the western world can.
Yeah, I had to use Chrome on my old Macbook 12' before I got my M1 Macbook Air (now everything is instantaneous with Firefox).

This is kind of deceptive. Approving location data to be saved or used during a web search is not the same thing as approving location data to be used for advertising and product personalization. Same with contact information, same with browser history, same with search history and unique IDs.

Also, none of that data is harmless.

> I think DDG is exaggerating here

Google shouldn't be basing advertising off of individualized browser histories in the first place, I don't think it's an exaggeration to call that a massive privacy issue. It's a single category, but one that encompasses basically everything you do online.

And while you can technically turn this off in Google settings, doing so will break a large number of Google products and features in other apps because Google ties access to browser histories and app data into other products in a way that is impossible to disentangle from normal functionality.

Back when I used to use Google Maps, turning off location-based advertising disabled my ability to save locations. Like, I couldn't mark a place on the map as my home on my local device unless I gave Google permission to advertise to me based on my location. Every time I wanted to navigate there, I needed to type in the full address. Even weirder, turning off web history took away my ability to use voice commands with my contact list on Android phones. I couldn't tell my phone "call mom", because that feature required access to my search history.

So this phrase "we're not that bad" creates this impression that Google isn't perfect but is still basically respecting privacy choices everywhere, and that any violations are just accidental -- when in reality trying to opt out of these systems is met with outright hostility from Google products, and giving an inch in any area is often interpreted by Google as permission to use that data in any way they see fit.

The system is a lot deeper and more deliberate than the parent comment suggests.

I agree with this argument, and this is THE reason why I don't pay for a streaming subscription. I have no desire to see my money to go to the likes of Justin Bieber (who I don't listen to), whereas I would much prefer it goes to the smaller ambient and indie artists that I like to listen to while working.
I'd say that now with 15 adding records and instanceof pattern, Java 8 is finally looking pretty dated!

You're also missing out on var and switch expressions, which are very visible features (as are records and instanceof patterns), so the difference should be obvious between a Java 8 codebase and a Java 15 one.
That article completely proves my point.

1. Russia has sufficient leverage. Most smaller countries do not.

2. “These pre-installed apps will also be deletable after setup is complete, just like any other third-party app that is downloaded from the App Store.”

That’s as far as Apple was willing to go. The Apps also don’t have privileged access to anything private.

If the US or EU forces Apple to allow alternate stores, both of these protections will be gone, forever.

And once they are gone on Apple devices, why would anyone imagine we’ll ever again have a widespread platform that doesn’t have government mandated software?

Apple’s dominance is at best a transient problem. Let’s not trade it for a permanent one that is far worse.
Fractional reserve banking doesn't actually model how banks work in the modern economy though - they don't lend out deposits, they just add a figure to the customer's account and add a matching loan to their assets, literally creating money. They could do this without any deposits at all.

Google opted out of the Chinese market because it violated their principles? They didn't try to make a censored Chinese version of Google?
It's a little bit of a lot of things - academic vs industrial incentives, tunnel vision, and the necessity to prove 'impact' for grants.

I mean, why publish a paper on a battery technology if it isn't going to upset Li-ion or revolutionize grid storage?

I'm not familiar with this specific instance but GP's point is exactly the sort of technical oversight or omission I'd expect.
I opened them up. I spoke to S76 support and they charged me $9 for a new screw kit...

I am quite familiar with breaking down/working on all types of machines...

they had lock-tight paint on the screws, which didnt work.

and the sad thing was that the connector type between the two broken machines had changed, even though they were the same model "Gazelle" - they are also a super pain in the ass to work on. The screen connector requires you to basically dismantle the entire machine...

Obviously this machine was a white-label Clio machine, and S76 has more recently started designing their own machines (supposedly - so I dont know how much of that design is in-house vs them spec'ing things out to other design services...
Do you have any idea how much bloat Spotify has that it can cut? Have you ever seen the NYC office? It's padded with hundreds of overpaid "creatives" poached from every NY agency who do nothing more than create unnecessary traditional marketing campaigns, all of which serve no one, while spending 80% of the day snacking on premium goods and watching insider music acts in their gigantic, swanky, luxury office space.

Source: Been there, seen it, a long time. Spotify needs to be nothing more than a functioning music utility. Instead their US offices are structured like a massive, bloated, 90's style agency party zone.

Trust me.

There is room to cut costs.

I question whether 4K on the average laptop screen size is worth the added load on the GPU (and so, lowered everyday performance and battery longevity). On big screens, sure, but at 13 inches? At that point you're stretching the limits of perceptibility, and given the other compromises you're already making to have a laptop instead of a desktop, it seems like a doubly silly one to add.
Most people are not at risk for being unjustly harmed by law enforcement due to their online data. The people that are at risk are outliers, and still worthy of concern.

I'm not clear on why Librem would need to add an in-app purchase option under app store guidelines, and their article doesn't really explain it either.

App store guidelines on this topic are:

> 3.1.3(f) Free Stand-alone Apps: Free apps acting as a stand-alone companion to a paid web based tool (eg. VOIP, Cloud Storage, Email Services, Web Hosting) do not need to use in-app purchase, provided there is no purchasing inside the app, or calls to action for purchase outside of the app.

So are they offering purchase inside the app? I downloaded it, and there's a bare login prompt with no mention of purchasing outside the app that might get them in trouble.

It is not NixOS vs Docker, it is NixOS vs Docker/Ubuntu.

Most of the day-to-day OS problems don't come from Docker, they come from base linux distribution. And Ubuntu was released in Oct 2004, and it is in big part Debian, which was released in 1993.

There is a big advantage when you run the same OS on developers' desktops and on server. It is also great when all sorts of weird third-party packages already know and support your OS.

This is the advantage of Docker I suppose -- it does not "get in your way" and lets you use the same things you used to do before it.
I would love to. Unfortunately, I am maxxed out.

I have a Darter Pro 2019 and I also have two ThinkPads (T490 and W510) and I can say the Darter Pro is not half bad. The layout is "different" but not bad once you get used to it. The feel is pretty good. Not as good as the W510 but comparable to the T490. Even the trackpad on the Darter Pro is smooth.

I agree with the overall sentiment though that it's time for a premium-designer-made-for-linux-laptop!
The only way to prevent large, billion+ dollar corporations from existing is via highly intrusive state regulation, so people who are appalled by the monopolistic and authoritarian behaviors of big tech should really be asking themselves (1) whether they are against capitalism, because there isn’t a model of optimizing economies for market freedom and profit that disallows the existence of billion/trillion dollar companies, and (2) whether they are okay with breaking up the concept of a “nation-state”, since its size requires it to have large economies.
I'd guess the average English proficiency also varies a lot by the country.

I've had lots of elderly relatives who were born before WWII (so in their 80's or 90's) who have or had, to my knowledge, almost absolutely zero English skills. They might have known "yes" or "no", but that's probably it. You wouldn't have been able to ask them a question and get an answer. Most of them aren't alive any more, of course, and I think most of the ones who are slightly younger than that (those born close to WWII to baby boomers) actually do have at least some knowledge of English. Some are probably fairly close to zero, though, and I wouldn't count most of them as knowing English as a second language.

Elderly people living in smaller cities or towns or even in the countryside aren't who you'd be likely to meet as a visitor, of course. But as citizens they exist.

You'd probably be hard pressed to find a young person who can't manage to speak any English here, though. I guess that might be more likely in a country like Spain where the local language is globally large enough that you can get by in working life without knowing any English.

Which is why it says they reject the "requirement". No one is denying that a 2 parent home is better.

But if you are a kid that grew up with one parent, we need to have alternatives to help those kids thrive. Harping on the fact that 2 parents are better than 1 does nothing for kids with only one parent (except maybe make them feel defective and disadvantaged).
I think HDMI only exists because HDMI cartel keeps pushing it for patents profits. There is no real need for it because DP is much better. But since they make HDMI only equipment, we are still stuck with it.

I don't believe "quantum computing" will get us any step closer to breaking RSA. Similar how complex number theory didn't allow us to draw a square with area of -1.

To break RSA-N you need a superposition of all the numbers up to 2^N, AFAIK there is even not a hint how to approach it physically.

I don't think you have much to worry about in the US. From my experience, those who call themselves "Marxist" have a hard time organizing a barbecue, let alone a revolution. They are mostly revolutionary LARPers. I think the internet and media sometimes magnify the size and power of these groups and it warps with our perception of reality. The largest Leninist group in the US is the PSL and they're a joke. A bunch of weirdos with no friends but the ones they found online

That Q&A is very careful to avoid stating that location data is not sent to Google when "location history" is turned off. You really think that by flipping a switch on your account page, they are going to start discarding some of the data they are sent from client devices?
You're correct that this generates a false-positive! This is a really interesting feature. Would love to see more static analysers/compilers implement this.

You might be aware already, but the examples aren't the same (I know it illustrated the same idea tho) as on the Psalm post. It might make sense to align them with the PHP example so people don't get tripped up on that (esp if they're not too familiar with TS and PHP quirks)! Additionally `!a` and `a !== null` (or `!=`) aren't the same in JS/TS, so maybe change those in your example too, just to get your point across better.

BTW, Psalm seems really cool! I've not used PHP in a long time, but I always felt it lacks tooling, so it's great to see people are making progress in that area. Keep up the good work!

Okay. I just had to recover my father's iPad account; he's alive but lets just say aggravating at times getting him to do what he is told to do.

Since he bricked his iPad I had to submit a recovery through iCloud and that invokes a twenty four hour delay before it sends recovery information to his listed authentication device; as in his telephone.

So that comes in which directs you to apple.com/recover or such and when you put the id in you have the option to get a 2FA code back to the phone which we did. I then simply put my phone number into the account so all future recoveries would be simpler.

Apple will allow for more than one authentication method, use it for ANY gift you give to an elderly parent or such. Frankly the best option you have is to get yourself on their email account recovery page as well.

Its just common sense in this era of identity theft that you do your due diligence so you can protect those you care for.

If your iPad is asking for a passcode and you don't know it you are lost unless it was backed up which brings up the second point.

When giving gifts like these out make sure to help the recipient learn how to back it up to a computer or have them let you back it up to yours when they visit.

This is probably true, but such a laughably small number of people use Workmail that I doubt it has any material difference to AWS's reported numbers, so while they might not reflect the true AWS marketshare sans-Workmail, it's probably still in the same ballpark. The reason people bring it up in regards to Azure is because it does likely artificially inflate Azure's reported numbers a material amount and makes them harder to trust.
