I’m not sure how I interpret this. I am much more apt to show my feelings as I get older. As a kid I would bottle every emotion and attempt stoicism so I didn’t look uncool or embarrassed or sad. These days I will be much more likely to show emotion unless doing so would be some sort of unprofessional or faux pas. To me that feels like the opposite of control of feelings.

Sure. There are a large number of items that are national law that can have great change. But the average persons ability to impact those things is very very very small. The average persons ability to impact their own local politics and make change is much much much larger than many think.
True, but it could be marketed a bit better: "Update finishing in the background"

They also have no shortage of devs who advance crazy ideas that somehow gain adoption... like starting a new general-purpose programming language in 2007 without generics nor package manager.
I think we've been lucky.

Maybe it also helps that everyone has a financial incentive in making sure everyone else performs at their best since that means more bonus and also higher stock prices.
Delivery and route trucks really are the interesting test case for battery-powered vehicles. Assuming that someone in a government meeting room doesn't dictate their technology via fiat or subsidy, it's a case based purely on economic interests. Double bonus points for being a tolerably straightforward to calculate decision.

I really can't foresee how it turns out, hopefully the battery tech has some room to run.
Thank you for articulating this.
For the last decade we have had frontend developers trying to force the web to be an app delivery platform. We have bent over backwards to accommodate this. We have turned browsers into a giant pile of hacks essentially emulating their own operating systems. And for what? As soon as they're able, they say oh, the browser is a giant bundle of hacks now, let's implement our own app delivery system on top of it.

Next time we get a document delivery format and people start trying to make it something it's not, because oh gosh it's easier to install the app, we need to push back and say hey, maybe clicking a few buttons in an installer isn't the worst thing in the world.

"Apple fined for slowing down old iPhones"
(Feb 2020 finally brought a judgement around in France)
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51413724

May 2020 via the Verge.
Apple agrees to pay $500 million (715,000 iPhone's worth) in artificial slow down settlement.
https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/2/21161271/apple-settlement-...
We had layout managers by the early 90s, and Java was not the only choice. Delphi, wxPython, and Qt were/are pretty good. Do not use pixel positioning or hardcode colors was right in the docs.
Couldn't a software change on the iPhone side prevent it?
Unfortunately "Inflation from too much money chasing too few goods" is often in people's mind with only a focus on too much money, and rarely any thought to too few goods - especially when we know right now it's almost certainly to a huge degree temporary supply dips in goods - with waves of covid still rising in international supply, as well as the logistics of companies dropping production during pandemic (e.g. w/ automotive chips).

It's also a metrics problem - you can see inflation increases which are easy to equate to units of money, but I don't think there's as universal an index of supply. Likely some industrial output index over time would better quantify how much inflation is pandemic disruption of supply, vs money supply. I predict it's mostly supply disruption.
Volvo has already bet pretty big on Battery-powered trucks. They've actually started full scale production already, beating Elon's fantasy truck to market:

https://www.volvotrucks.us/trucks/vnr-electric/

For some reason, otherwise intelligent people seem to think that hydrogen and batteries are diametrically opposed and that if you bet on one, you can't bet on the other. The reality is that they're both awesome and have a lot of potential, and they're both worth betting on. But batteries will never have the range that is required of long haul trucking. Their research into hydrogen is entirely consistent with this. BEVs for short haul, FCEVs for long haul.

As to the rest of your post, I'm not big on pure hydrogen, but solid oxide fuel cells don't necessarily require hydrogen storage. At least not in the compressed sense. They can easily use any form of fuel you can throw at it. Synthetic fuels are the future of renewable energy for long range use cases.

There is an efficiency hit to creating synthetic fuels, and an efficiency hit to converting them back to hydrogen, but efficiency doesn't actually matter...at least not directly. For example, we have had 60% efficient engines for a long time, but we still buy cars with 35-40% efficiency. What matters is dollars per work done. Synthetic fuel production can extremely cheaply be manufactured with off-peak surplus renewable energy. And as we invest more in renewable production, that surplus is only going to grow larger and get cheaper.
My FaceID stopped working. I cannot %100 relate it to the update itself, but after the update, I also enabled the unlock with watch, after one day, I decided it it not for me and disabled it. After that my FaceID entirely stopped working. I have removed face id to add it again, but cannot add it back, it keeps saying "move iphone a little lower". Tried everything short of resetting to factory defaults and nothing has worked yet.

I find those tools much easier to get a decent GUI layout with. Getting the same layouts with HTML and CSS seems to involve a pile of hacks, because they were designed as document markup, not button and panel layout tools. (that said, a markup system for constraint based layout would probably be better, and CSS does seem to be growing some of the features, it still just seems to be hard to get something that works as consistently as e.g. Qt).
If your update system requires 1-2 days of "post-upgrade homeswork" time and slows your phone by 50% in the process, you've designed a very poor update system.
> Short haul, drayage, etc. is definitely workable with current tech.

What's a rough estimate of the size of "short haul" vs "long haul" trucking segments?
Radicalism can also be a reaction to systems that claim to be perfect but unsurprisingly fail, on the other hand.
So now how much does a hydrogen fuel cell semi weigh whats its range? How much does it cost? Where do you fill it up?

Current hydrogen fuel cell vehicles weight more than an equivalent battery powered car not not even looking at cost and power and refueling infrastructure.

I agree that diesel is most viable for long haul and probably will be for some time and still has room to improve see Frieghtliners SuperTruck.
It does, at least, mean that (most of) our work is honorable and honest: keep shit out of the drinking water, keep the lights on, provide data products to businesses or people in or people for them to make informed decisions about the (business) world around them.
> For a real life example, I knew someone who was going through some pretty serious depression in high school. Responding to which their counselor said something along the lines of "you shouldn't be sad, this is the best time of your life". Which was pretty devastating thing to say to someone.

And, for a lot of people, it's just not true. Maybe I'm really fortunate, but I can't remember a better time in my past life. I think for a lot of people, things generally get better as you age. You definitely get more autonomy, compared to when you were a child and teenager. Financially, you get established in your career, you save a little money, maybe you can even afford a home. Socially, you have better, closer friends as you get older. You can worry less and less about what other people think of you as you get older. I guess this is a little privilege showing, but generally I think my mental wellbeing is much better now than when I was a child or teenager.

High School was the absolute worst point in my life, and that's true for a lot of people I know. You lack autonomy, you're bored, you have no money, you're in a prison-like institution getting bullied for most of your weekday. You're under a lot of pressure and have to worry about grades and behaving the way adults want you to behave. It sucked! Who are these insane people where high school was the best time of their life?
One of iOS' more annoying quirks is its opacity and lack of user affordances.

The volume buttons don't seem to affect haptic noises, but the mute button does. The OS locks up for about a minute when you change passcodes while it re-crypts everything, but from the user's perspective it just looks frozen. The implications of opting into their 'find my...' and iCloud networks are not adequately explained. The devices take 15-30 seconds to actually cut power after they appear to shut down, and during that time they won't respond to any button presses.

The list goes on, using a modern iPhone feels like you are constantly negotiating with a disingenuous UI. The OS regularly claims to be done with something while it continues working furiously in the background, and it is full of undocumented exceptions to common settings.
HiPE support is getting wonky, I don't know if many people use it, and I'm not sure it supports the latest OTP versions.

The Erlang folks are looking for maintainer volunteers to continue working on HiPE support, they don't have the manpower right now to maintain it themselves.
"There still be social engineering, etc., but that is much harder to pull off."

It is? In what sense? I've always understood the wisdom to be that people are one of the most leaky bits of any system.
The municipalities agree to these rules to subsidize those who live in unprofitable areas. Those people don't want to pay for the actual cost of their service, so the town grants a monopoly and subsidizes the cost for those who live in the outskirts.
The headline is not representative:

> Apple has been fined 25 million euros (£21m, $27m) for deliberately slowing down older iPhone models without making it clear to consumers.
> where putting a picture on your résumé is more or less illegal

How does it work for models and actors?
Sure, it's fair to be concerned about that, but is it necessary to focus so much on that?

A company builds a new feature, it's useful, and even more they write a detailed article about how they built it. Isn't it fair to appreciate that and discuss the approach?

I get it, there are some issues with Dropbox, etc. but must every article about some company feature have a majority of comments talk about how they liked them better in the past, how they wanna stop using it, how environmentally problematic some of the company products are, and the likes? I think there's also a time and place to discuss those (e.g. on comments for an article about the business practices, or some medium opinion piece), but I'd prefer on submissions like this one we focus on the content at hand, and maybe have a single comment thread only dedicated to tangential issues about the company.

EDIT: TBF, I don't actually see that much unrelated negativity in this comment section.
Yes. The slow down was real and very significant and it lasted hours. It was not people freaking out for no reason.
> the upcoming travel pass will cover ... and recovered (i.e. positive antibody test of immunity)

From the linked article:

>For travellers who have recovered from the virus: date of the positive test result, an issuer of the certificate, date of issuance, validity date

EU Travel Pass doesn't care about your antibodies.
Yes. Clearly it’s measured by how much money you take by force from other people and give maybe 10% to anybody that ‘needs’ it.
Aircraft emissions come from the engines. Charge a carbon tax. If one set of people (specialist field engineers for example) are disproportionatly causing mroe emissions, they (or their company) will pay disproportionately pay more.

Google docs is their document editor. Sheets is a part of GSuite.

I've also never had trouble pasting a spreedsheet selection into a word document. Email is a nightmare in general though.

I'm not sold on collaboration personally. I've had to do it a bunch since the pandemic began and I've found it to be an anti pattern. One of the big inconsistencies is that cells in sheets don't update while being edited while collaborating, which is not great if you have a spreadsheet heavy workflow. Docs is impossible to replace that though, because it's auto formatting is draconian and always seems to reset its preferences. When editing docs we spend more time formatting them then creating the content.
>There still be social engineering, etc., but that is much harder to pull off.

I think about this exactly the opposite from you, and this is why. Humans are the weakest link in most technical systems. The only secure device is one that's turned off and buried a mile deep, because if someone has to use it, they can always leak/allow someone else to use it by proxy.
I have heard people claim that QE is disinflationary because the dollars are tied up and don't add velocity but I haven't grokked their reasons why.
The proportion of the population that will pay a ransom with a positive expected valuation will never be 0 unless you can guarantee that it is impossible to make a ransom offer which yields a positive expected valuation to the victim.

In effect this means that refusing to pay a ransom with a positive expected valuation subsidizes outcomes for those that do pay the ransom.

Whole heartedly agree with this post. I didn't start meditating until my mid-20s and am just grateful to have discovered the practice at all.

Instead of swimming in your thoughts/emotions all day, meditation teaches you how temporary and fleeting they are. This helps you detach from them and not take your own thoughts so personally (if that makes sense). It's like you have a 50,000 foot view above your thoughts as they come and go.
After a few years on the road, my votes mostly align with the stereotypes. I'd say Chiang Mai and Medellin are the best quality of life and value mix in the world for me.

I love Tokyo, but the value factor certainly isn't there.
Very late to this, but:

You sound like a machine built for a different set of circumstances. Wartime, or famine, or slavery; or most likely, a heavily religious society.

I would guess you’re mostly nonreligious. But you have a lot of mechanisms left over in your personal acculturation from when religion was important for your ancestors. You took out the formal religion, because that’s not needed so much these days, but still have a lot of underlying mechanisms, like a conviction that there is such a thing as an ultimate answer, which made sense when the accepted ultimate answer was God.

I would guess that you enjoy learning and regularly investigate new things, but one of the mechanisms that generates your motivation is actually an old outdated attempt to find God, which you are no longer trying to do. Rationally, you search for the limits of the set of ideas you’re currently investigating, find them, and move on, in accordance with modern liberal arts thinking. But there’s a twinge of disappointment because you were being driven partly by leftover religious mechanisms that were hoping for Ultimate Truth. The repeated disappointment of the old mechanism leads to tiredness, and a feeling that real meaning keeps not being there no matter how much you keep reading interesting things on the Internet. There may also be a buildup of resentment that your trust has been repeatedly betrayed.

Just a thought this morning. I recognize a lot of what you’re saying. My parents were missionaries and it has proven impossible to escape all of those influences.
Intelligence organizations would still be able to identify and surveil regions of past criminal activity.

Oh interesting. I think the same is true for thrill seeking but there is an added element which is perspective. When I was young I feared little and did stupid things, sometimes to disastrous results. Now I know I could do those stupid things if I'd like but I'm also more aware of the potential results.

Young people know some of the things they are doing are stupid but until you feel it yourself its hard to really know it right?

There is also an element of realizing that certain highs are not actually satisfying in the long term. When I was younger I thought X would make me happy. Now I realize that X is very unlikely to actually improve my overall happiness. Some people never realize this or they stumble into taking drugs which is in some ways does cause them to seek greater thrills/highs but they typically don't make it very long in that lifestyle.
No, they have other less detectable methods. Your idea shows an awesome train of thought though. Ever thought about switching careers?

As far as this method, the IC has thought about this very method for a long time. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t been used in the past.
The thing about getting older is that you come with terms with the fact that you have limited control over life. You have only control on yourself, and this not absolute because you may get a decease that's pretty random, although your lifestyle heavily affects your well being. Outside of yourself everything else is kinda out of your influence. It's good to keep tabs on what's going on with the world in an attempt to better prepare for hardship, but the more you let go the happier you become.
What's super nice about these APIs is that everything is happening off the main thread.

Flutter claims to be fully accessible: https://flutter.dev/docs/development/accessibility-and-local...

Did you actually try it?
While this might be appreciated by a small number technical people it would just be confusing to the overwhelming majority. The cell, wifi, and battery indicators all provide information the user can affect by moving the device or plugging it in. An indicator would not provide any actionable information to the user. Also progress bars and time estimates for tasks are typically expected but in practice very difficult to make accurate. So you could not even accurately tell the user how long they need to wait for the device to finish it's background work

I'm 61.

I question whether it's greater control of my feelings, as against, more recognition that feelings come and go and don't require that we act on them.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Sure, I'll do that next time I'm at work, I'll tell the frontend dev running `npm install next` to spend the next 6 months doing a code review of the 258 dependencies in the tree. Boss will have to wait.

https://npm.anvaka.com/#/view/2d/next

There's dependencies like webpack, and "dependencies" like lodash-sortby, is-number, isarray, diffie-hellman, encoding, is-negative-zero or assert. Who in good faith can argue that those are better served as standalone dependencies maintained by who-knows-who instead of being in a standard library?

I so wish someone had the balls (and good enough OpSec) to inject malware into one of those 5 lines long dependencies, causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damages, and then we'll perhaps do something about it.
Good question!

Because inflation is the sum of money supply + velocity + consumer expectations + goods production + international monetary markets?

Which explains why historical attempts to point to any one and say "Inflation is coming / not coming!" have fared poorly.
