This is not a feature, though, especially not a new one. This is just asking for payment for the software to not do something to your machine. This kind of behaviour so far was only present in ransomware.

All the code required for this to work was already there. They only spent developer time changing it to only be available to Pro users.

You can rationalise this all you want, but this is just hostile, desperate and lazy behaviour from a company that's too desperate to make money, but is has continuously proven to be unable to come up with better ideas for attracting paid users. As others have mentioned, they got millions in funding so far but still have no idea how to make money.

Had it been announced a month earlier people would be sure it was an April Fool's joke.

The headline, I believe, is misleading. SpaceX was told to suspend work while the government considers the merits of the protests and decides whether they should reverse the contract award.
> (...) while the "couple of libraries that nobody else used. Literally nobody" should obviously be statically linked.

I disagree. The main value proposition of shared libraries is being able to upgrade them without requiring to rebuild the application. Sure, libraries need to be competently maintained to ensure that patch releases are indeed compatible, but that still opens the door to fixing vulnerabilities on the fly by simply upgrading the lib that sneaks in the vulnerability, which shared libs allow even to end-users by simply dropping in a file.

I’ve recently come to see this truth. Like reading the vintage ads recommending cocaine to help your tooth ache.

I just hope the future finds a way to undo so much of the damage.
How the screw of the wine press was the central part of Gensfleisch/Gutenbergs invention which allowed all the other previously existing ones to finally come together (though I also read that certain advances in metallurgy were also essential). Also see the previous video on screws, a much underappreciated invention.

It then describes how the availability of books made propagation of existing technology and newer developments possible and faster.

The only other comparable moments in history are probably the evolution of spoken language, the invention of writing and most recently the internet.

Also much recommended from that Chanel are the videos on the "Origins of Precision"[1], and "The 1751 Machine that Made Everything"[2].

> putting powder/liquid directly in vs contained in a water-soluble capsule is.. the same

Assuming you mean putting it directly in the "tub" versus in the compartment, no that's not true.

The initial fill - which will dissolve anything put directly into the tub - drains fairly quickly. The detergent in the compartment is only released after this point.

If there's nothing in the compartment, there won't be any detergent being used for the bulk of the washing - so regardless of form factor, it's important to use that.

But in addition - rather than instead, putting a small amount of powder in the tub will make the initial rinsing much more effective.
I call this class of thing "antifeatures". Vendor bloatware tends to be made of them.

Another thought, an advanced bitcoin miner type thing uses new physics where the environmental destruction used to power it is basically to increase the progress of the Big Rip (perhaps only locally though), but maybe the reason we always thought expansion of space was always happening is because older aliens were already doing the same thing for their blockchains.
It looks like the tradeoff is the angle/rise. The Kuonen bridge requires a 3,000 foot rise in elevation as you walk up it, so it has a sort of in-built tower on one end. The one in Portugal looks relatively flat in comparison.

My company does dropshipping when we can’t fulfill things directly. This has an order of magnitude more shipment errors and our vendors have no incentive to improve their reliability because shipping things isn’t a core competency, but rather an annoying necessity.
I don't think UK dishwashers typically have such a compartment, but no need for it anyway - same result achieved by putting the equivalent detergent directly in the tub, though you lose the convenient dosing

I'm probably missing something here. CPU/GPU cycles are irreversible, you can't get them back after you have used them. Storage space is reversible, you can get it back at any time by deleting what has been stored. I'm sure they have a way of detecting and preventing this, but wouldn't that imply that constant network connectivity is required to check that the storage is still allocated?
What consumer problems this solves depends on who the consumer is. For me as a dev/consumer and a long time Linux user it solves a lot of usability issues. For people used to Android, who don't want to develop anything, or don't care about software licenses, or being able to debug and control their devices when issues happen, it solves little, compared to a random locked down Android phone. For people who just want to phone people/send receive SMS, it solves nothing either, because they can just use a dumbphone.

So the answer depends on who the consumer is.
Arguably the U.S. operates on persistent "consensus" e.g. containment, free-trade, isolationism etc. These aren't so much orchestrated strategies as they are operating principals.

The business consensus for the last 3 decades was to outsource the supply chain to the cheapest bidder. That the cheapest bidder had no environmental regulations was an ignored outcome. That the cheapest bidders were all closely related and existed within a new competing network of suppliers was likewise ignored.

I suspect the lack of direction that's been apparent for the last ~8 years is partially due to a general view that one or more of free-trade, free-enterprise, environmental protection, or national security/international posture needs to change.

Sodium hydroxide is only dangerous if concentrated. Diluted, and especially if it is mixed with wastewater, it'll just react with the various organics to form soap-like chemicals.

If anything, it'll help clean your sewage pipes!

PS: Most draincleaners are just a concentrated NaOH mixture. Consumers pour them down their drain all the time and nobody worries about this either...
The whole point of a dishwasher though, is that you /don't/ need to do that. Strongly recommend watching Technology Connection's video on the subject; the takeaway is to put powder/tab in free for the first cycle, and powder/tab in the compartment for the main wash - first cycle takes away way more dirt that way.
So uninstall it. On your way out the door, do the decent thing and thank the people that have been providing you free stuff all this time.

Geez.
But that's if the libraries are going to be used by another package (and even then it's not a prohibition - packagers should use common sense). Linus said this applied to a single package so it wouldn't need to ship *.a files at all, as everything would presumably be linked to binaries. I'm going to check out this subsurface diving program to find out what really happened here.
I bet they didn't check with the FTC before doing this.
it's very weird seeing a request to a naked IP address(192.95.30.65)
Luckily, there's no need! Anything you'd put in a prewash compartment, you can put directly in the "tub" for the same effect

(Note this is not the case for the normal compartment - that does work differently)

(I'm the creator of spaCy)

If you want to email me at matt@explosion.ai , I'd be interested in the specifics of the algorithm and why the implementation was slow.

The idea for something like that keyword extraction algorithm would be that if the Python API is slow, you should just use Cython. The Cython API of spaCy is really fast because the `Doc` is just a `TokenC*`, and the tokens just hold a pointer to their lexeme struct, which has the various attributes encoded as integers.

I've never really done a good job of teaching people to use the Cython API though. I completely agree that it's not productive to have slow solutions, and using too many libraries can be a problem. The issue is that Python loops are just too slow, you need to be able to write a loop in C/Cython/etc. Thinking through data structures is also very important.

I get very frustrated that there's this emphasis on parallelism to "solve" speed for Python. Very often the inputs and outputs of the function calls are large enough that you cannot possibly outrace the transfer, pickle and function call overheads, so the more workers you add, the slower it is. Meanwhile if you just write it properly it's 200x faster to start with, and there's no problem.
I've rented flats outside london for years, always come with a dishwasher. I'm on a high salary though, so it may skew my world view of what is "standard"
> Like I complain about in a comment below, the cost of shared libraries is that an upgrade is all-or-nothing.

It really isn't. At all. For example, let's take a notoriously egregious example of C++, which doesn't really have a stable ABI, and a major framework like Qt, which provides pretty much the whole platform. Since the introduction of Qt5, you can pretty much upgrade even between LTS releases without risking any problem: replace libs built with the same compiler tool chain, and you're ddone

This is not an isolated case. Shared libraries and semantic versioning is not a major technical hurdle, and one which in practice only has upsides.
I really believe that especially for something like a GUI, you should have a screenshot(s) on the readme.

Not trying to defend Apple but this was said by an “expert” hired by Epic and neither 9to5 or Bloomberg have any data associated with this claim. While I’m sure the profit is nice and cushy, I have a feeling this number is like “the average server cost is X and Apple probably needs Y of these. With their revenue, they’re making more than 78%!” Which isn’t exactly how you calculated profit margin…

2.4 GHz is used to heat your food in the microwave. Pulses that increase the fluence by an order of magnitude or more could probably boil water for a microsecond inside the brain and cause some strange reactions.

What is unproven though, is how one would ever shrink the size of an electronic weapon like this.
They all have multiple elevators and escalators, are sturdy enough to handle hundreds of people simultaneously, and were constructed over some of the busiest roadways in the world. Not really apples to apples.
Yeah ok, the 30 minute wash admittedly is very poor. But the quick wash + Vario speed so it's done in 1:05? Still perfect.

And we have cheaper electricity between 00:30-4:30am so I just always schedule that 3h long eco wash for then.
I remove frictions. An IDE is a friction, so I'll use the interpreter directly to write snippets of code and play with a library or prototype a feature or something. Small functions. This works just like foreplay or messing around because after a bit of doing this, I'm turned fully on and possessed and banging much more serious and fully fledged code. It gets me fully in the zone, and I regain situational awareness some time after.

This is akin to playing a game in a half-assed way, and before you know it, you take off your jacket to really play. If you were told to come with the proper attire, you probably would have declined or postponed or procrastinated, hence removing friction works.

I recently have tried putting on sounds. Nature sounds. There are tracks that go for more than 8 hours. These cover "Dirac impulse" like sounds in my physical location, which can burst my bubble. I'm fine with noise in a bus (I've coded entire projects while commuting).

One 'hack' to improve productivity is to work disconnected from the internet and with an unplugged charger. I had a laptop that could only hold about two hours, and boy that was greatly motivating to code something up before the laptop shut down. Even with my crurrent laptop, there just is something about working with 'finite energy'. Removing frictions and adding restrictions seems to work.
You might have hit on a solution here: Electron, or, ideally, a really nice mobile-first web browser with access to APIs provided by the underlying Linux OS.

I’m essentially imagining a phone OS that decouples the front-end and backend design. Implement the apps as APIs. Implement the UI using HTML5 so more designers can use their existing skills to contribute & the GUI layer can be replaced more easily. The experience would be a refinement of pulling a Docker image and opening a browser to use it on localhost.

Edit: a mobile OS also needs a really nice mobile-first shell app. People do so much with text messaging now that I think they might be open to it…

The insight about starting from the public odds is so important. It's like running from a polar bear: you don't have to outrun the bear, only your buddy. Not counting the track take, any deviation from the public odds in the correct direction makes you money.

(And the public is often reliably biased -- this is why they say sports betting is more about betting on gamblers than on games.)

A smaller deviation makes you less money that one time, of course, but it also saves you lots of money if you're wrong, ensuring you live to bet another day.

Also in real life: people in aggregate aren't dumb (just a bit biased), so using the public opinion as your prior and then adjusting it Bayesically with private information gets you a more reliable edge than guessing wildly.

Because free market is predicated on a business setting its margin to whatever works, aka the delta between what customers are willing to pay for the products and what it costs to run the business (salaries included).

Workers get paid based on market price for their work plus some premium for skill, depends on the worker. Why should a company pay more than what workers demand? How would that make sense as a strategy? Why not use the money to expand the company instead? Or pay the shareholders?

Insulin lowers blood sugar, rather than raising it. For T1s, I would imagine an insulin pump would help prevent mistakes where you misjudge how much insulin you need - but I'm not a T1, so can't comment on real-world effectiveness.

In my particular situation, the best way to manage things has been to go keto - any more than around 5g of carbs causes me to have a hypo, presumably because my body over-compensates and releases too much insulin. I switched to keto a few years back, and my life has been so much easier since then - I went from having a hypo multiple times a day, to very rarely. It's been several months since my last one.

If I hypo (or in the more general case when a T1 takes too much insulin by mistake and hypos), the "healthier" option is to use glucose tablets or a glucogel tube (a measured dose of glycogen, often carried by T1s).

But when you're having a hypo, you don't always think clearly - it's fine if you catch it early enough, but otherwise it really is like you're under a magical compulsion to eat as much sugar as you can; I'm not sure there is another experience I can relate it to. And once you eat some carbs, it's 10-15 minutes before you even start to feel better - believe me, you can eat an obscene amount in that time!
