> > Unless you're suggesting that the DE comes with a preconfigured set of global hotkeys and cannot be altered or extended

> Yes that's what I'm suggesting.

Okay, let's use the example of music playback. If your DE handles music playback controls, how does it tell the music player when to stop and start, or skip to next track?

Does it hardcode a list of music players, each of which provides its own bespoke API, and the DE calls into the application?

Or does it provide a way for any music player to call into the DE, and listen for those play/pause/skip events?

And if it does that, then why are the list of events hardcoded? Why not allow the music player to say "I also play podcasts, and I want to provide a hotkey to speed up/slow down the playback speed, or provide a separate hotkey to skip ahead 30 seconds that's distinct from skipping the entire episode."? Why not allow Discord to provide a push-to-talk hotkey so that people on a group call can actually hear each other without dogs barking and keys clacking and people coughing?

---

Look at the VSCode Extension API for instance:

* Extensions are at least partially isolated from the main process and each other. I don't know how far this goes or how secure, but for our purposes they could be as isolated as you want.

* They can register a command which when activated, performs some action from within the extension.

* Those commands show up in the command list at the top of the screen when you hit "Control + Shift + P" (which is itself a command subject to all the same rules) and users can select whichever command they want to run.

* Those commands can also be assigned to a hotkey.

* Extensions can suggest a default binding for this hotkey, but users can go into the VSCode settings page and assign whatever keycombo they desire.

* Users can remove keybindings for commands that have them by default.

* Users can assign keybindings to commands that don't have them by default.

* All keybind editing is performed through the same UI, which is owned by VSCode and not the extension.

* VSCode itself is the thing listening to those key events, and it calls into the extension to activate it.

* There is a concept of context for when these keybinds apply, such as when a markdown document is active in the editor. Extensions provide these contexts by default and users can override them as they choose.

* Extensions themselves don't even start up until an activation event is met. These can be opening a file of a certain language, running a command, etc...

What about this model is objectionable in your mind? Who benefits from the lockdown you propose where no new ideas can be tried until the DE authority deigns to allow it?

So this is true but also not that relevant, bitcode is your architecture.
It's building on top of something that developers should be using anyway; or at least have familiarity with. I'm quite glad they ended up going this route for that reason.
The more serious question here is how do you make cures more attractive compared to chronic treatments.

Maybe we need to start paying for cures like we do chronic treatments?
Reading the comments on this (on macrumors and Reddit as well) has been funny. Some people seem thrilled with the quality options. Others point out that the difference is indiscernible without xyz equipment. Anywho, this seems objectively better than what spotify and tidal are offering, and is free. I’m happy with that. Very excited for the spatial audio in music. The way it works in video is mind blowing.

Bill Gates is famous for being cursing bully in the workplace. He has admitted it himself. He treated everyone badly. He tried to hustle his co-founder from his shares when Paul Allen became sick.

How he treated women is just side show.

The cost of producing fiat currency is not the same for everybody.

I'm torn on this comment. The guy has done some amazing things with what he's learned and he has helped a lot of people. He also went many many years on this angle and only recently hit the big time. But yes, he didn't invent or discover these things, he repackaged them.
They're transmitting things like "This device showed a 'You have been exposed to COVID' alert". You can see the full list of events they send here:

https://github.com/cds-snc/covid-alert-app/blob/97bb16034140...

But the fact that they could be tracking which citizens have and have not been shown a "You have been exposed to Covid" alert, and there's no way to opt-out, is a little scary.

> What are you able to infer about the contents exactly?

Most days, you are not exposed to covid and you don't interact with the app. So most days, the app transmits a "background-check" event to the server. This means the contents of the message will be the exact same length every day.

As a passive listener, then, you can watch for days where the length of the message is abnormal, and then because there's only so many different kinds of messages that the app sends and they all have unique lengths, you can infer what metrics events must have been sent to the server based on the delta of the message lengths. You can figure out if a user has been shown a "You have been exposed to COVID" based purely on passive listening to traffic from the device.
As someone who's been in that field for the last, uhhh, 8 or 9 years, I'd say feel free to go with Kotlin. You will understand java the moment you see it later on, meanwhile Kotlin is easier to write, understand and think it. It will get you where you want to be faster than Java. All modern examples will be written mostly in Kotlin, so you won't have trouble adjusting. But in the end, just pick one and go with it, being paralysed by analysis won't help you at all, and after you're fluent in one the other will be familiar too.
Are you talking about kernel threads or user space threads? I believe none of them were really in Unix very early, but the time of introduction varied.
It is as long as you don’t consider the footprint of the person using it. If it runs more slowly than a modern system such that a human has to spend more time working with it, then it’s almost certainly less resource friendly.
Absolutely, I'm no stranger to having a string of bad social experiences leading to becoming (more) unpleasant and then receiving unpleasant feedback.

I didn't mean to suggest it would be easy, and if you know a better way to start trying to turn things around I'd like to hear it.
I'll start. I'm working on an open-source, cross-platform app to manage Cloud Providers credentials for developers.

The project started from a work need; as a consultant, it was a daily task to switch from a cloud account to another, and I was looking for a secure and easy way.

The project grows rapidly, and I'm looking to add support to the solution for the enterprise that is adopting the solution at the company level.

In the community, I've had some requests for troubleshooting and bug prioritization and granting a certain level of continuity. I think that a support option for the enterprise is the best option.
This is certainly true, but it describes why companies don't start or continue the research. This has nothing to do with killing off a clinical stage drug because it was "too successful".

The latter, as reported by GP, doesn't seem very plausible.
In german, I think we would change "being watched" to a noun with the same meaning:

Sie hätte unter Beobachtung gewesen sein müssen.

Still a sentence with 4 verbs though.

E: Interestingly enough, google translate is just plain wrong in a predictable way:

Sie hätte beobachtet werden müssen.

Which implies that she should have been watched.

I recently learned of some research that had a human trial that looked like it could potentially cure Multiple sclerosis (MS) and even potentially many (maybe all?) autoimmune diseases. However, it was too expensive, so no pharmaceutical companies picked it up. It was only when the researchers found a cheaper way of doing it that biopharmas were interested.

From the article: "Meanwhile, unlike the CPU side of this transition to Apple Silicon, the higher-level nature of graphics programming means that Apple isn’t nearly as reliant on devs to immediately prepare universal applications to take advantage of Apple’s GPU. To be sure, native CPU code is still going to produce better results since a workload that’s purely GPU-limited is almost unheard of, but the fact that existing Metal (and even OpenGL) code can be run on top of Apple’s GPU today means that it immediately benefits all games and other GPU-bound workloads."

"Note In a discrete memory model, synchronization speed is constrained by PCIe bandwidth. In a unified memory model, Metal may ignore synchronization calls completely because it only creates a single memory allocation for the resource. For more information about macOS memory models and managed resources, see Choosing a Resource Storage Mode in macOS."

I am not trying to minimize the other engineering improvements, however I do believe there may be less credit being given to the UMA than deserved due to past lackluster UMA offerings. As I said it will be interesting to see how far Apple can scale UMA I am not sure they can catch discrete graphics but I am starting to think they are going to try.
Indeed, one of the nicest aspects of Jolie is that you can (semi-)automatically extract the definition of the infrastructure that you need from your code.

American hackers are no less careful to avoid running services or communicating through American datacenters. Everyone knows that Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon etc. are more than happy to turn over the IP address logs and any unencrypted data whenever law enforcement brings a valid search warrant, and sometimes they'll offer a dragnet of all their data when law enforcement just asks nicely.

The problem is that law enforcement is listening to local victims: Hack Colonial Pipeline and ask them to bring you a bag of cash in the parking lot, and you won't be meeting with their CFO - that guy in a suit is from the FBI. Hack Nord Stream, and you'll make some Russians angry, but they're going to have a hard time bringing that complaint to the FBI.

To make this more sensible, we need a paradigm shift. With a global Internet separating victims and hackers, while national governments only look for domestic victims of domestic perpetrators, you're going to end up with a lot of useless fist-shaking across the borders. I'm not suggesting that the answer is extradition of scapegoats at the whims of foreign powers, either, but our small, modern world has a lot of growing up to do before this makes sense.
Though I generally agree, one ridiculous thing Spotify does is suggesting new releases by just matching the artist's name to your history. Not rarely I get some new releases from a completely different artist just because they have the same name

Yes, it does. This is exactly how you pick holes at research. What factors didn't it look at? That helps us understand the limits of what we can deduce from the data. Can we think of an intuitive story about why those factors might have a causal relationship to the thing being measured? If so, we have especially good reason to be skeptical of any conclusions from the study that don't address that possible explanation.

Somewhere in the last couple of decades, the SCIENCE WORKS, BITCHES people seem to have forgotten how real science is actually done. Intuition, anecdote, common sense, hunches are very important parts of the process.
A non profit-motivated actor might well want to do this just for the societal good it would bring. I think this though underlines a key flaw in the idea that everything ought to be market driven. In some cases you end up driving yourself in contortions working out how to incentivise the market to behave in a certain way. Sometimes it better just to fund the damn thing directly.
> If there is a power imbalance it is not appropriate. And it seems that this was the conclusion of the board.

Who should Bill Gates date in order for it not being a power imbalance? Only the Queen of England comes to mind, maybe Lady Diana back in the 90s.
isn't biotech a kind of "tech"?
There is competition: Helium seems to be doing a very similar thing (although "on the blockchain" and with its own cryptocurrency to go with it, which I have not looked at in detail and can't vouch for in any way).

For a more limited use case (for now), Apple is a competitor too with their "find my..." network as well.

I'm hoping for an open alternative to show up as well.

I think this is potentially a huge part of it - I'd do the benchmark by doing a native compile and a cross compile of each, and also do the same on a RAM disk instead of SSD (a large compile can end up just being a disk speed test if the CPU is waiting around for the disk to find files).

> that nobody else in the world could create the same drug

Could create it and make a profit selling it.

If the cure generates less profit than current treatment, and if you’re currently selling treatment, then that’s not going to be worth it for you.

If you don’t, well you still need to get it to market, which requires substantial investment.

My point is that the described scenario is not entirely unlikely. For example, type 1 diabetics in the US need something like $600 worth of insulin, every single month for the rest of their lives. Say that’s 60 years, you’re looking at $430k, not even counting needles, sensors, and other stuff they might need (or absolutely need). Average patients won’t be able to cough up nearly as much for a cure.

Pharma has just been way faster than tech in realizing that the subscription model has far better yields.

I abandoned my music library after I went to Apple Music. But 5 years later I'm going back. The licensing issues and split albums OP mentioned have basically annoyed the hell out of me. Quite a lot of old music from my childhood is basically gone for good from Apple Music/Spotify. I have a smart playlist which basically lists all tracks which are no longer available on Apple Music and it has a 7 day playtime. Quite a good chunk of my library is basically greyed out and when these albums return they are basically messed up, if not outright replaced with other versions.

The reliability and simplicity of my own music library can't come back soon enough. I'll still keep AM and Spotify for discovering new music though.
Er. No?

Gate lines in the UK are manned, if there isn't someone available to supervise the gate line, the gates are left open.

There is no "red emergency stop button" on the gates. Perhaps if the maintenance controls are open there's a red button inside somewhere, but that's not what it's for. Most likely you're remembering other emergency stop buttons you saw, e.g. on escalators or in lifts?
ZeroSSL's current RSA intermediate is https://crt.sh/?id=2427368505, which chains up to USERTrust RSA Certification Authority (https://crt.sh/?caid=1167).

I was going to migrate over to ZeroSSL, but there were red flags in the form of missing documentation that you would expect from a CA, like what is the chain of trust for certificates that are being issued? If I have to issue myself a certificate to check which CA is being used to sign the cert, that doesn't feel right.
There are two things you're missing here.

The first, and more minor one, is that effective deployment of keys for encryption/signing tends to require cooperation of the email provider anyways, giving them the ability to report trusted keys for your identity that they can use to MITM you. Indeed, a few of the suggestions for key distribution contained in threads on this post have exactly this flaw (I leave it an exercise to the reader to find which ones).

More importantly, even PGP doesn't fully protect information: the headers are still sent in full plaintext. This means that your email provider still knows whom you talked to, when you did so, and the subject of your message. I suspect that most of the government's interest in your personal email isn't in the contents of the email, but precisely this metadata that PGP makes no effort to hide whatsoever. If you're a dissident in Venezuela who's worried about the government finding out you're talking to foreign reporters... well, PGP won't help you.

This ends up being the conundrum of "secure" email: it's sufficient for the job (assuming that the UX is more well-thought out than it often is) only if you want to hide what you're saying but not whom you're saying it to. And that is not sufficient for what most people who want secure messaging desire.
There could easily have been escape sequences for released keys, just like there are for non-character keys like the arrow keys. You'll have to change your terminal emulator to support this too, though. This would work fine with SSH.
The 55B debt load of this new entity is pretty astounding and makes this look a lot like a PE firm deal. Given that content production is so dang expensive, they're gonna be highly motivated to generate profits to deal with that debt.

This makes me think this merger would be followed by a rapid sell-off of low performing assets to try and pay that down a bit.

Would shorten the patent expiration on chronic treatment help address the problems? Making chronic trainer competitive and cheap would discourage the tent seeking behavior.
A nice middle ground would have been to make participation a condition for using your own client devices with the network, i.e. you can only register a Tile if you agree to participating in Sidewalk with your linked Amazon account.

That would make adoption much harder, though – a lot more people have just an Echo device than an Echo device and a Tile.

> The vast majority of technocrats in government service are political appointees chosen

"Vast majority" seems like an exaggeration. But your point is exactly the first thing that came to mind, particularly when the author said that we should study the phenomenon of technocratic power. People do study it; that's how we get terms like regulatory capture.
