> "It’s also not clear how often AirTag locations update. I gave my partner an AirTag last week for her to take when she went on an errand, driving about 20 miles from home. Since she has an iPhone, I expected to see frequent updates in the Find My app, but that wasn’t the case."

This is almost certainly a product of iOS battery management. Presumably there was only one iPhone in range during the drive (GF’s). If the iPhone isn’t plugged in, then it generally doesn’t update its precise location unless it detect “substantial movement”, which is normally triggered by thing like switching cell tower.

Net result is the AirTags location only get updated when the nearby iPhone thinks it’s power efficient to do so.
"We find that tracking the smoke levels inside a house using the smart fire detectors gives firefighters an early warning system. For the safety of your pets and your children, who may not know how to use 911 or may not have a phone they can reach, and since you don't have a landline they can use, we are requiring all houses to be equipped with a FireProtection 2.0 capable smoke alarm."
Users don't need to be in the loop here. ISPs should monitor their reputation (e.g. by using their own service) and fix it without being nagged.
Where the "full assessed value" is still only 5 or 10% of the price paid though? Doesn't seem like it hits at the heart of the issue.

Seems like the sales price should be far more of factor in these ultra-luxury sales; the market says a house is worth $100m and an assessor looks at that and says the value for tax purposes is $5m, how does that make any sense?
Really nice samples! Sounds great.

I completely agree that students in other countries need this too! We decided to start with just the US for two main reasons: 1) we thought the more narrow focus to start would increase our chance of success, and 2) we don't feel we're knowledgable enough to effectively execute on this idea in other countries yet. For example, to offer UPchieve in another country, we'd have to know how to identify if a student is low-income in that country as well as how the typical high school courses in that country match up to the current tutor certifications on our platform.

Since we're open source, I think it'd actually be awesome if someone in another country decided to start their own version of UPchieve for that country!
Funny to see this as I just got back into reading SCP articles again.

TSMC would blow their fabs up if China invaded. China might not mind though since some the us government has forced TSMC to not sell to some Chinese companies. Probably would be good for their semi industry.

I don't. This sentence serves no purpose other than distraction and needs to stop being used: "there is presently no evidence of the vulnerabilities being used".

Democrats lead by 22 points (57%-35%) in leaned party identification among adults with post-graduate degrees. The Democrats’ edge is narrower among those with college degrees or some post-graduate experience (49%-42%), and those with less education (47%-39%). Across all educational categories, women are more likely than men to affiliate with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic. The Democrats’ advantage is 35 points (64%-29%) among women with post-graduate degrees, but only eight points (50%-42%) among post-grad men.
The author of the tweet exaggerates a bit, writing "Guess what does not require user opt-in: Apple knowing every single transaction made on its devices and using that information to target ads".

He's clearly trying to insinuate that consists of payments on websites, Apply Pay, etc. but is simply app store and in-app purchases. Apple's "Search Ads" that the tweets refer to are literally for the app store search bar.

I can only speak about a France here, but the salaries seems low because it's after most taxes.
When you get 200k in US, you have to pay for your healthcare, pension, etc...
In France when you get 80k, which is a very high-end salary (~94% of the french are paid less than that), you still pay some taxes on it but the company already payed the healthcare, pension, 25 days of mandatory vacation, etc...

All-in-All you get the same value, numbers are hardly comparable.
I mean, their whole raison d'etre is to manage disease outbreaks, and at the start of the outbreak they were caught with neither basic supplies (PPE, respirators, etc) nor plans for provisioning the same. They also tried to roll their own tests which proved faulty and labor-intensive rather than using the WHO standard tests (though as luck would have it, testing capacity doesn't seem to have been a strong predictor of success in combatting the virus). So I'm not entirely surprised that the CDC is struggling to communicate effectively during this outbreak.

I have the board game "pandemic" which came out some years before COVID, and I remember thinking about how cool the CDC was, as though it was one of the few agencies that had its shit somewhat together (the only other which springs to mind is NASA though no doubt NASA also has its share of mismanagement). Boy was I wrong.
From my own experience with TP Link routers I don't expect them to update at all.
Because they are freed from the liability of the business's actions by way of the state allowing liability limiting corporate entities to exist. When the business assumes liability from the owners, it also assumes tax responsibility. If you don't want to pay corporate taxes, don't form a corporation.

Maybe, the children of the watch are a subgroup of 'Death Watch' if I have my lore right (primarily concerned with 'foundlings' or adopted war orphans). Deathwatch was a much bigger deal around the end of the clone war. I think 'Clone Wars' covers them pretty well, however I've never fished through all of it to find the episodes to complete the storyline. At one point they pledge themselves to Darth Maul and take over Mandalore for a time.

The Mandalorians that Din Djarin primarily concerns himself with in season 1 are all children of the watch. I'm not sure that you ever hear it uttered by Bo-Katan or her friends or Boba Fett, who are not children. However Bo-Katan was part of Death Watch before she broke away with her Nite Owls, so if it was a Death Watch thing she may have uttered in during season 2.. I don't recall.
"If you account for the high efficiency of natural gas power plants and the high efficiency of electric vehicles. We could immediately replace well over 50% of vehicles with electric without producing one more cf of natural gas, just using instead of throwing away what we already have. Combine that with intermittent sources like solar and wind, we could electrify all surface transportation with no additional natural gas production or CO2 release from natural gas, just using what we throw away (burn) right now.

I'm suggesting that Mars may be a more hospitable place than the moon, not more hospitable than Antarctica. Antarctica is a much easier place to survive than Mars or the moon, but the long-term benefits of establishing a permanent human presence are less. We also already have a lot of people living in Antarctica; according to wikipedia, there are about 40 year-round bases, and the population varies from about 4,000 in the summer to about 1,000 in the winter.
This is anecdotal but in the past ~5 years I've noticed foils popping up in more and more places (in Oahu).
My favorite way to buy is when manufacturers have their own store on amazon and maintain inventory in Amazon warehouses via Prime.

On Amazon, I can see the seller's name at a glance and I can tell if it's the official seller. Buying it via Prime means I get free shipping and it often comes in the mail literally the next day (since I live in a major city with Amazon warehouses).

If something is wrong, I know I can just drop the package off at the UPS Store down the street to return it and the refund immediately shows up in my Amazon account without any hassle.

Buying directly from the manufacturer's web site, on the other hand, is a huge hassle. I have to create an account, enter my address and shipping info, and add my payment info (great, now my credit card info is stored in yet another place that could potentially be hacked), and the pay for the item. This whole checkout process is unique for every vendor web site, and when the item is shipped, I'm lucky if it arrives within two weeks, much less next day. Returning the item (if something is wrong with it) is also a huge hassle, and many third party vendors won't cover the return shipping costs, and may only replace the item for an identical one.

I've never once encountered a fraudulent product when ordering directly from an official manufacturer on Amazon Prime. That only ever happens when I buy from third party sellers or buy used products.

Open Source Funding, Kim and Rancher Desktop with Matt Farina
That last bit about politics/laws is exactly where I fear the internet will be a decade or two from now. Virtual borders will be controlled by nations as strictly as physical ones. Every byte going in or out will be monitored and regulated. "Removing [xyz] from the internet" will be a matter of a government clicking a button rather than the laughable scenario it is today. And they will be assisted every step of the way by companies like Cloudflare, Amazon and Microsoft.
I had Matt Farina join me from Rancher to chat about the two new open source projects that came out of Rancher at KubeCon EU including Rancher Desktop and kim. Expect demos and some chatter on open source funding.

kim surprised me and I think it could potentially make building images for openfaas and K8s clusters a much, much faster workflow by bypassing a registry and going directly into containerd.

Disclaimer: This is not paid or promoted content, just two developers chatting. As you know - I developed https:/k3sup.dev/ so keep an eye on what's coming out of the community over there. Hope you enjoy it.

If you develop APIs that requires feedback and testing, what forces you to keep it secret instead of making it public and clearly marking it as beta / experimental?

> There is no benefit to the world in me just cloning Zoom

There is no benefit in preventing you from using these API. What if you clone Zoom, with a better business model and/or making it open source?

Or if you create a product that finds an unforeseen application to these new APIs? Your feedback is valuable too.
Does anyone else remember EPIC 2014? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPIC_2014

I thought it was crazy how many of these turned out to be mostly right (even if the explicit stuff about mergers and lawsuits was wrong)
Ahhhh, makes sense. Also, after reading further, it appears I was wrong - TSMC has some operations in the US including some in Arizona - plus their interest in maintaining friendly terms with the US in order to preserve the existence of Taiwan is also an angle.

What still worries me is that ramp up time for fabs like these are on the scale of years - if we assume a fab started right now, we'll be making semiconductors in ~2 years at the earliest (very optimistic)? It seems like the root of the issue seems to be the inventory tax and accounting rules - perhaps an exception for the semiconductor industry would help rather than even a single domestic fab (which could be impacted by natural disasters as well).

$15 doesn’t seem like so much to give for software. I understand you’d already paid, I just don’t see how panic is supposed to thrive if they can’t create new versions and get paid for the effort.

The product I work on is $10/month and worth it to many people, and by my own admission, considerably lower quality and utility than any panic product. I just can’t make it for any less, realistically.
Sherlock Holmes is not in the public domain in full. Most of the things we think of as 'Sherlock Holmes' are from stories still in copyright. It's why you see Elementary as a property and Sherlock as modern day. Counterintuitively they had to come up with new ideas because the existing ideas are locked up with copyright.

Couple of other issues.

"Small studios and independent artists could use the original Mickey character"

"Other manufacturers could make Mickey Mouse merchandise. This is probably the biggest direct harm to Disney, but I don't think it'll make much impact on their revenue."

The reason you've seen them make Steamboat Willie LEGO and the current "old-style" Mickey Mouse cartoons is because they're setting up a copyright argument if someone tried. They're also setting up the same arguments that Sherlock Holmes uses which is that the elements of Mickey in Steamboat Willie have been used recently and are thus still locked up by copyright. You can distribute Steamboat Willie, but can not otherwise use the property. The Sherlock Holmes case is here: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=163248743572192...

"Which is exactly what copyright was supposed to encourage."

No, copyright is an exclusive distribution right. It's a government granted monopoly to provide protection to creative works. The history of copyright is pretty interesting in an of itself and starts with the printing press in the 1500s. Long story short, though, it's always been about commercial exploitation of a creative work.

> I have to ask. Why do you hate freedom?

When we talk and discuss modern, powerful, high level languages it's not due to adding more freedom to a developer's ability to express intent - it's about restricting it. Often times with tools we find more strength in tools that prevent us from making errors (thus making the tool simpler to apply and require less oversight). There is nothing you can do with a table saw that you can't do with a knife - that's pretty similar to comparing assembly code to rust or your preferred modern language. Tools gain strength by restriction actions - not adding them.

I personally strongly disagree about applying this to browser engines since I don't think we've reached anything near to a consensus on what a good web browser should do and due to the involvement of companies that want to harvest a lot of user data - but the point isn't irrational, there is some power to be gained by locking down devices to a single browser.

I would agree that the validations of the App store are entirely security theater though - that approval process adds nothing of value and it amazes me that they haven't been sued somehow over failing to actually enforce the rules they promote.

I must have missed the "inciting a riot" trial. How long was the jury out?
Hi, no problem, just wanted to clarify. The price is 250 00 euros, which indeed is expensive for a 25 foot boat, but still about 100 000 euros less expensive than conventional electric boats that can go fast - but not that far.

The price stems from a high production cost, the whole boat is built like an aircraft, in carbon fiber (the designer used to work at Eurocopter) to be as light as possible. The weight of the hull and deck is about 240 kg. So our main goal for the future is to reduce the costs - by a lot. But think about C-7 as the Tesla Roadster. But our foiling ferry for the city of Stockholm will be launched next year, and then people using the Stockholm public transport system can go foiling for 2€.

From someone mostly out of the drama loop, here's my brief recollection:

Generally in the security sphere we consider it the most ethical and responsible to give vendors plenty of time to patch vulnerabilities, especially critical ones, before publishing details or anything that could lead to a working 0-day exploit.

Theo de Raadt was one of the people notified of a previous WiFi exploit, and there was a set length of time intended for the vulnerability to be made private, in order for the (inordinately slow) vendors to create and push/prepare patches. If the patches were released early, it'd be easy to determine what the original vulnerability was.

So, Theo de Raadt decided, in the interest of keeping OpenBSD secure, to push the patch early, effectively letting the whole cat out of the bag. I'm not going to get into the drama of whether that was right, wrong, foolish, wise, whatever, but because of that, he no longer receives these ahead-of-time notifications of vulnerabilities.

Their local governance situation is much easier because their platform only does like two and a half things.

Once they add enough to become a full fledged cloud provider that an enterprise can lift and shift their SAP and Oracle bare metal servers and whatever else onto with guaranteed performance and availability SLAs, then they're in the same boat. Until they do that, they'll continue to be a niche player for things that fit those two and a half use cases. It's not like enterprises are going to rewrite all their enterprise apps around Workers.

I think this is just a matter of people getting tired of the self-driving cars story, and a reach for some other reason to pump up share values.
