They might, but a significant chunk of that body (and of the electorate) is philosophically opposed to the idea of them doing their jobs.

Also fundraising, public communications, and case-work are all bigger determinants of them getting reelected than legislative acumen or policy-making skill so big surprise what kinds of people the job selects for.
If Apple is having this kind of success, it seems they should look to compete in the data center with this or the following generation of chips. I wonder if it is a good time to invest in Apple.

The fight against facial recognition will be a back and forth between the facial recognition itself and algorithms trying to prevent it (like this one).
One issue is that parties using facial recognition have a big advantage: They can run new algorithms against old pictures.

Tools like these might be useful in some cases, like preventing stalking _right now_, but can't (sadly) guarantee a prevention in any way for the future.

I assume this tool will be marketed differently.
It was public health orthodoxy that travel restrictions are some combination of ineffective and counter productive.

Which there are infection scenarios where that might be true. This obviously wasn't one of them.

A standard line is that we couldn't restrict travel in the US because we aren't an island. But we didn't do much of anything, our travel was much more extensive than necessary.
I recently heard Denmark has negative mortgage rates for natural born citizens. Losing money if you don't take it.
I've seen too many people say stuff like this then go on to blatantly discriminate to think people who say it are self-aware enough about unconscious biases to not discriminate. There is stuff everyone picks up along the way to becoming an adult that they didn't have any say in picking up, but it's there anyway, and it's not going to go away if you pretend like it's not there.

Personally, there's a part of me deep down that does want to discriminate, and I have to kick that part's ass any time it rears its ugly head. Even being part of several marginalized identities is no guard against it.
> place statements in context

I've studied those wars in some detail, and had decades to read followup news on them.

It would be fair to say the US public was misled about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

But looking at those wars in context, I don't think there were alternatives besides doing early, successful attacks on the leaders involved (Hussein, OBL, etc.), which didn't happen.

Hussein wanted to be the new Suleiman, and conquer the entire Middle East, and OBL likewise.

The biggest regret is that American distraction there allowed the CCP to quietly build into a very dangerous superpower. While the USSR was mostly inward-focused during the Cold War, the CCP is challenging the US on the global stage.

According to Dr. VDH, 75% of the time when there is a new rising power, there is war. My estimate is this will happen in the next 24 months.
Even earlier than expected. Perhaps my suspicion to skip M1 to go for M2 was completely right.

It doesn't hurt to wait a little or perhaps skip the first gen versions due to the extremely early software support at the time, rather than getting last year's model (Nov 2020) and suffering from the workarounds and hacks to get your tools or software working on Apple Silicon.

I won't have a wobbly software transition unlike most M1 early adopters. Afterwards, I'll most certainly skipping M1 to something higher. (Likely M2)

Like I said before, wait for WWDC and don't end up like this guy. [0] Those on Intel (Especially those on 2020), no need to run for the M1, Just skip it and go for M2 or higher.

Downvoters: Here's another foot-gun Apple hid behind the hype squad. [1] For the iPad Pro, if you bought the 2020 version, your keyboard is incompatible with the M1 version meaning you have to fork another $350 for a new one that works.

At the time of the Macbook Air M1 launch (Nov 2020), tons of software issues, even the recovery system fell apart for most people for M1. Even upgrading to this on launch day right here with those issues was an instant no deal.

Once again Intel Mac users, plenty of time to migrate to something even better. (M2 or higher)

It’s a little surprising how much effort went into things early in the pandemic that didn’t pan out.

Official contact tracing in the US is a complete dud and had negligible impact on the spread. People informing their fiends/family “hey I just got Covid you should probably test/isolate” was what practically can make a difference.

Ventilators were the critical thing until we realized they were a very sub optimal treatment.

All the surface cleaning was a massive waste too... and the chemicals used in some places destroyed a bunch of furniture.

Masks, fresh air, don’t go out when sick or after close contact with someone when sick. Simpler things that make the most difference.
I like the idea. Have these been put through stress tests? i.e. Wind tunnels, simulated forest fire, floods, earthquake, cold / hot weather, powder actuated projectiles and how do they compare to traditional wooden framed or steel framed homes? What is the thermal insulation rating? I would expect thermals to be pretty good. I've seen similar designs using aircrete [1] and those are fire-resistant. How strong is this compared to aircrete?

I didn't mean just Apple. I just meant the fastest laptop money can buy.
I don't know about Unikraft, but as far as I know, a unikernel is an application specific OS.

Think of it as if Node.js could be directly installed on a PC and no Linux is needed.
I'm really curious how this will play out. DataCenters haven't been apple's market for a long time, and the requirements of datacenter customers are kinda anti-apple these days.

More likely I would see Apple making an exclusive server chip licensing arrangement with ARM or something similar.
Do we know why? Is it for Bing?
The case in point is what you said: "Both caves and shipwrecks are allowed with Open Water".

As a rule, they absolutely aren't.

In this specific place, PADI allows some of them to make a supervised dive at a certain site following a specially installed line. This doesn't change the rule, which is "Open Water Diver certification does not qualify you to dive on shipwrecks, nor caves".

At some other place, there may be an option for a person with Open Water certificate to drive a semi-trailer truck, while under supervision from a trained professional, and over a course specifically crafted to minimize any possible collision. This doesn't change the rule, which is "Open Water Diver certification does not qualify you to drive semi-trailer trucks."
The examples you’ve mentioned are quite egregious and I understand how you would hold a negative opinion about such efforts. However, I’d argue they come from leaders in a lot of organizations not understanding why inclusivity is actually important, let alone how to implement it.

The scope of creating a workforce with more representation is not small and probably requires long term planning, constant feedback, and buy-in from stakeholders on all fronts.
Companies who only want to appear inclusive are bound to take unilateral, drastic measures in order to meet an observable target without considering the higher order effects.

Basecamp’s approach is just avoiding the problem by pretending it doesn’t exist. Employees who felt unwelcome at work won’t suddenly be happy when they can’t even talk about it. Power to make changes will be concentrated at the top with people apparently determined to keep the status quo.
While pipewire still needs a lot of work and some people will see regressions in their workflow, this change is so much better than the pulseaudio disaster.

It already enables things like more reasonable Bluetooth access, BT codec/profile switching, close to real-time audio, etc. With updated pipewire you can run jack applications like guitarix and ardour and they just work. With pipewire updated from copr repositories and iRig I can use guitarix OOTB and the delay is low enough to ignore.

I can also watch movies with audio going over Bluetooth - pulseaudio had 400+ms delay, pipewire is pretty much synced up. (That's on standard codecs, not aptx) It's better than what either windows or Mac can achieve here.
Sounds very interesting! However, I am very curious on whether this works for simple workarounds such as taking a screenshot of the picture or reducing image quality. Since the original and the altered images are visually identical to the human eye, from the limited knowledge I have on the topic, I infer that the changes made by the algorithm are all in the high-frequency side of the spectrum.

Is Apple going to be affected by the chip shortages we have been hearing about?
Yes and no. There are lots of public interest lobbying organizations out there as well. For example, I donate to one that's just focused on making cities more bike friendly. I used to work for one focused on improving how the Census counts people. There's a galaxy of nitpicky, nerdy stuff that's supported by very nerdy volunteers and part-time lobbying efforts (and usually a bit of pro-bono work from one of the big lobbying firms).

But even though they outnumber the "big industry" lobbys they just don't have the money, connections, or influence.

> I can't imagine a world where we chose to waste massive amounts of resolution in the normal case just so we don't need to sample as intelligently as we do today.

It is already happening, see e. g. [1]-[3]. And the more common will be HiDPI displays - the worse would be support for low-res (say 96 DPI) displays. It is not uncommon to encounter an opinion that tricks used for high quality rendering on no-HiDPI displays are legacy and cruft, but more common is just to tread rendering issues which not visible on HiDPI as low priority.

It is the same old mantra - programmer's time is expensive, hardware is cheap, let's not spend time on creating efficient software and focus on making development fast and easy.

So, basically, Google Docs is a keylogger?

Would that go along with the common consensus, or perhaps water down the term to near meaningless? Maybe Firefox is keylogging my input as well; and in fact, so is Linux. Keyboard itself, definitely.

Once I had X11 enter old keystrokes (so it had missed the read position in the input ring buffer and every stroke entered a key from the past); keyloggers all around.

Kidding aside, I believe it is important to use terminology all parties agree on; after all, words are a tool for communicating. Even if an individual finds a deeper or "fundamental" meaning in a word outside the typical use of a word, attempting to use and understand it in such a way hinders communication.

> The optimal level of alcohol intake for health and longevity is zero

The whole "little alcohol can actually be healthy" meme is a good example of corporate sponsored research combined with publication bias. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publication_bias It went on 15-20 years before better and larger studies debunked it.

Alcohol use and burden for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2016: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

>Alcohol use is a leading risk factor for global disease burden and causes substantial health loss. We found that the risk of all-cause mortality, and of cancers specifically, rises with increasing levels of consumption, and the level of consumption that minimises health loss is zero. These results suggest that alcohol control policies might need to be revised worldwide, refocusing on efforts to lower overall population-level consumption.

For those that don't know, VSCode Insiders seems to be some beta/alpha channel of releases with features that are under-development. So I guess that means it will end up in VSCode stable in a little bit.

Surely not every mbp has been the fastest laptop ever made. Has this in fact at any given point in time actually been true?

This could be it tho, but there are probably some desktop TDP chip current gen laptops out there.
M2 seems very unlikely to me because that will create product misinformation easily. Imagine the following

M1 -- 4 A14 cores

M2 -- 8 A14 cores

M3 -- 4 A15 cores

That "third generation" sounds better, but is actually inferior to the second generation. X1 or M1x seem much more likely. It's the same reason why they made an A12x instead of calling it A13.

They probably need 3 designs, but economies of scale begin to be a problem. A14 and M1 are now selling in the millions, so they get a huge benefit. More importantly, they are in devices that get replaced a bit more frequently.

M1x (8-16 cores) will be in bigger iMac and laptops. They don't sell nearly as many of these. In addition, yields on the larger chip will be lower. Finally, people with these devices tend to keep their machines longer than phones, tablets, or cheaper laptops.

The 16-64-core chips are a major potential headache. If they go chiplet, then no big problem (actually, the M1x as two M1 chiplets seems like a desirable direction to head). If it is monolithic, the very limited sales and production will drive prices much higher. A logical way to offset this would be bigger orders with the excess being sold to Amazon (or others) to replace their mini cloud, but that's not been mentioned publicly.

Ask HN: Who is your VPN provider, and why?
I'm 24 hours away from the end of my three-year NordVPN subscription. I've been mostly happy with it from a technical perspective, but given the time that's elapsed since I subscribed, I'm scoping out options for alternatives.

The commercial VPN space is affiliate- and referral-heavy, so I'm checking here for war stories, advice, perhaps brands or services to shortlist or avoid, etc.

Thanks in advance.
I think if they ever released the servers, they would want a total control over what you run on them, so you couldn't just upload your service, Apple would have to approve it first.

Tile trackers compare to AirTags, and why so upset with Apple
I think he meant 16GB.
Also the relatively low number of cores.
Cool idea, the lack of discussion of longevity seems pretty glaring. While we would all love to not cause any stress on the environment, we also have to live though heavy rains, snow, and wind. Maybe this structure is designed for dry environment and can with stand a couple of rains a year.
>>The architect studied how a building’s shape could impact its efficiency, in relation to its climate and latitude.
hopefully someone also studied materials the house is made of, because that seems pretty important.
Dirt is a very good insulator of both heat and sound, so maybe they could build something like this a put some sort of shell around it, like siding on current houses, to protect it from weather.
> it is a legitimate version 2

Maybe, but then the previous one was version 1, not a prototype. I've never seen people actually write prototypes, nor management accept time invested on writing prototypes, in any job I've had.

Prototypes always directly become version 1 on production, unless of course the whole project gets canceled mid-development.
Technical debt not only makes it harder to add features, it makes it harder to remove technical debt and make technical improvements. Choosing not to pay down technical debt is fine, but at some point it will be such a mess you won't be able add features or fix the technical debt issues without a total rewrite scale project.
I think you mean 16GB?
The bulk of a house (and its major cost component) is the structure

Using current pre-fab techniques a half dozen builders can raise the core structure of a single family house in a few days. A friend of mine is in the process of building a house and raising the core structure was the fastest and easiest part of the whole process. I don't see this being either cheaper or faster.

The bulk of the cost in many cases is things independent of the actual house, like purchasing the land, doing the ground work and the foundations and pulling in water and sewage.

A silly thing. As others point out, if it spreads, photos altered by it will quickly become part of the training set, and the method will be defeated.
