Based on a cursory google search, domestic extremism results in ~40 deaths per year.[0]

With that in mind, I'd like to pose a related question; would you be cool if the government monitored our speech to help end the scourge of death by lawn mower? Probably not, because it's not a serious threat, right? And yet, you're 20x more likely to be killed by a lawn mower than to be killed by a domestic extremist.

This isn't a matter of precision, it's a matter of scope. And given that these people are, collectively, 95% less deadly than the fearsome lawnmower, I'd say the appropriate scope is zero.

Ideally yes, but is it a hard-enough responsibility to mandate? If not, it seems like there is a financial opportunity for a company to fill that request. Especially in the case of time-sensitive emergencies, it seems like "informing the public as things happen" isn't the number one priority.

CIP: Living in downtown Portland, I have way better luck searching recent "#portlandprotests" tweets than I do checking the PPB Twitter feed. The latter usually shows up within 24 hours, but doesn't really solve the immediate curiosity of "why is there a helicopter hovering above my house right now".
Why not? Everybody benefits from open marketplaces. The PC has been like this, and though Steam is dominant, it's not even close to a monopoly.
That's just factually untrue.

The percentage of the world population involved in script adaptation and language translation is really quite tiny. Consumers vastly, vastly, vastly outnumber producers.

Not to mention that we have things like automated translation that are "good enough" for many cases as well.

Whereas learning a new language to fluency, for most adults, takes about ten years.

I did not mean to say that producers were doing this intentionally.

Energy storage entities would only really profit in extreme circumstances where the prices are driven up so high - where production has decreased to the point where the grid is in danger of destabilizing.

The rest of the time they'd be operating in the margins, picking up the solar and wind excesses to sell later. Given the investment and operating costs (battery farms, taking over hydro (or constructing new hydro), etc), I doubt it would be worth picking up given the current incentives.

There's a certain lifestyle aspect where my high school friend dropped a pulled junkyard engine in the bed of his truck and shoved it into place and strapped it down and he doesn't care about the interior of his truck bed, its "outdoors" for hauling "outdoors" rated objects.

Technically my wife's van could carry that engine very easily but the process would almost certainly destroy the carpet and leather seats and maybe some windows and the bumper cover etc.

My buddy had hoists on each end of the trip to insert and remove the junkyard engine. This is widely understood in industry and construction in general and using a crane with a pickup truck is no big deal. With a van I guess you could use a forklift and pray the inevitable damage to the interior doesn't turn the vehicle into an instant insurance writeoff, but ...

Imagine for example how easy it would be to wipe out the stereo speakers or the wiring for the GPS in the back of a van vs a seemingly indestructible truck bed. The older the truck the tougher they were built and the more likely the owner doesn't care if its beat up, so you can toss bricks into trucks and similar behavior that would not be tolerated with a van.

I will say the best way to haul 1000+ pounds of yard landscape rock is to pay home depot $59.99 to have truck delivery with a forklift drop the pallet within inches of where I asked. I could have bought a $75K pickup truck and loaded and unloaded all that rock myself by hand, but sixty bucks sounds like a better deal LOL. If I had a full time landscaper job the numbers would be different...
If I want an alternate store, it’s not to safe ~$20/year in commission, it’s to gain access to functionality to which Apple restricts access.
EitherOwnedOrBorrowed and AtomicReferenceCountedPointer, but that'd be annoying to type once you know them.

code is read more than it is written, so having those longer terms helps with reducing mental load and providing self-documenting code

and with most modern ide or even text editors providing autocompletion, (imho) i think abbreviations not really neccessary (though they can be fun in the case of kotlin ^^)
But I can also fund a Robinhood account directly from my bank account through the iOS app and buy cryptocurrency.

Or I can go on the ebay iOS app and buy a PDF ebook from a seller.

The mechanism of "in-app purchases" doesn't scale to ebay or Amazon or any other store where you might have millions of SKUs. Not to mention that you can't even buy Kindle books on the iOS app, even if you already have credit on Amazon (gift card, rewards points, etc.).
And as a note for everyone else, Electrify America is just one brand of chargers. Other brands currently exist and as more CCS compatible cars hit the road I imagine even more chargers will spring up.
Instead of harassing the ancestor for not perfectly optimizing their use of resources (which has zero impact on the climate one way or the other) or harassing me for suggesting that an 80/20 solution to a problem is better than no solution, perhaps you should try to take a broader perspective and realize that most people are selfish: they aren't going to massively sacrifice their quality of life in order to help people in the global south that they don't have relationships with. Aligning incentives to help them do the right thing (e.g. by creating a vehicle with a form factor they can readily accept while still being an EV) is the smart way to go at the problem. Brow beating people for not being totally altruistic and demanding they make massive cultural changes is the dumb, ineffective way to tackle the problem, although it does allow the participants to feel morally superior as they fail to convert anyone else to their cause.
In practice, the difference is that consoles tend to be sold at loss, they wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the 30% cut. And in my experience, another big difference was that when I had consoles, I could easily borrow my friend's games, or buy cheaper games used. I don't know how it works with digital goods on modern consoles, but Steam actually has a feature to lend your library to a friend, so there's precedent.
>Modern electronics, at least the bulk that are in daily use are much more shielded, higher quality, and resilient enough to not bring down civilization.

Does the same shielding required for consumer electronics to meet FCC Class B requirements also protect them from solar events?
I bought my truck used and somehow missed that it had the extended range tank, which is 36 gallons. I was so confused when I filled it up for the first time and it just kept going and going...
You can, there are plenty of development environments on iOS. What you can't do is distribute those apps. They are stick on your phone.
Right, that particular example was posted 10 months ago. Instead of providing manual documentation every time there is a multi-page discussion, why not let a simple UI affordance do that for you? Seems easier than repeatedly promising performance improvements for the better part of a year.
But it’s got photos of some fine keyboards made by IBM and stuff!
Yeah, the $40K version of the F150 Lightning is the "commercial use" one, which will presumably be utilitarian. I think they plan to reveal more about the commercial version on Monday.

If the $40K commercial use version is the right truck for a given consumer, great. But most consumers will want to step up from that for a personal vehicle. I think for most people, we will find $53K is the real starting price.

It feels as if the $40K commercial-use version was added in order to capture some headlines that group "$40K" alongside features of the more expensive trims such as "4.4 second 0 to 60," and I believe they have been successful in that.

For someone not overly ear to the ground culturally this is a rabbit hole. The Youtube one fascinates me. I've not heard of most but imagine there are hundreds of interesting stories behind every item. Interesting work and concept. Well done.
Very fair point - they do have jobs. I certainly don't mean to diminish the legitimate work of people doing social media, etc. It is work. I guess my point more broadly was that there are certain types of celebrity (sports, acting, music) which take a lifetime of dedication to a craft, which at least to my mind is more justifiable than folks who become famous on reputation/relationship/inherited status alone.

But of course, now that you have me interrogating my own biases, that's also true of someone like Lebron James. What other reason does he have to perform well on the court other than to maintain or improve his celebrity? Is he fundamentally different than someone like Kim K? I usually would say yes, but I'm not entirely sure now. I'm sure you're right that to some extent gender comes into play. The ways by which women become famous are scrutinized much more than the ways that men become famous, and that is pretty fucked up. I still believe that the "job" of celebrity has a lot to do with being mirror/punching bag for society, but I think the way in which I said it probably fell into some gender bias issues.

Your points are really good ones, and I appreciate you saying it!
It seems that you think I'm referencing a contrived example to prove my point, when in reality I'm referencing the actual donation gifts for the vast majority of Hot Tub Streamers (which, please note, is not "people that sometimes stream in a hot tub", but is now a specific genre of stream of which many people exclusively stream).

People have been sometimes streaming from hot tubs for years, and it's always been the exact grey area you're describing. Only very recently has it turned into a hypersexualized scenario, which is why Twitch is putting out more content condoning it.

> You seem to not understand that there is gray area.

I do. You don't seem to understand that the vast majority of the streams this change will encapsulate are not grey at all.
It's a nudge in the right direction. The amount of driving is not going to change in the near future, so making transportation cleaner is the only way to make it sustainable.

Now we need to figure out how to make sure the electrical grid is able to support the new load (hopefully with clean energy solutions), and deploy public electrical charging destinations across the entire US to make it feasible.
> Charlotte and Narayan are not the uptight fundamentalists or ugly, embittered feminists of stereotype: they’re members of the Ivy-educated jeunesse dorée.

1) In what context would a focus on sexual monogamy and a traditional marriage have been a sign of an "embittered feminist"? Neither has been a focus of any of the major American feminist movements.

2) When have the Ivy-educated elite not been also the uptight fundamentalists of America, at least as it pertains to everyone else's choices?

It's all just the usual garbage of rich people trying to elevate some social signifier more accessible to them than others as a moral virtue.
I mean, you can use the amazon website on the iphone and circumvent all the limitations for example. They want to use the platform apple provides to create apps (good user experiences). So, this analogy doesn't seem apt to me

...but that's not a need - that's a preference, a habit, with no root in any utility or tradeoff.

That puts you in the minority of tech users, at least, if not computer users in general.
Yes, age distribution matters as older people are at higher risk. As some signal for this Florida is USAs old people home, so you would expect that if masks had a large positive mitigatory effect then Florida with its low mask use would do worse than CA and NY that has low mask use. However, we do not see this.
I think if Tim Cook announced he was stopping iPhone production, he would find himself unemployed by the end of the day.
The first part is an introduction and the rest of the content is from Bennington so that makes sense.

I'd generally agree with the advice but would add an advice number zero: don't work in the financial sector. Unless you're a psychopathic serial killer who wants to kill all your co-workers, in which case you definitely should and if I'm ever on your jury I'll find you innocent so you can remove more of these pricks from the world.

I lived in London for a few years so I may be a bit biased.
Not having lived through McCarthyist hysteria but having lived the War On Terror(TM) hysteria, I'm thinking that the kind of comment from OP is premature and not really founded on evidence.

There is a very real threat of domestic terrorism in the US and by all accounts most Western governments (with the possible exception of Germany) haven't been paying enough attention.
The Byzantine General's problem states that messages can be corrupt, missing, misinformation, or otherwise unreliable. Thus to avoid exploitation by the few, we need some PoW mechanism.

The Bitcoin network is not this. The Bitcoin network is everyone meeting at a central square, fully able to communicate - all having a full list of all transactions - and the dude with the password takes the reward and decides which transactions make it in.

But they have no messaging problems! Bitcoin is not the same difficulty as Byzantine Generals! The work is meaningless when everyone is always communicating. There is no possibility of any miscommunication. The rules of a miner are simple: Add all transactions to the list. Make sure no one spends more than they have. That's it. If there is ever a merge conflict(a double spend) based on those rules, first transaction wins. It will most likely be known that it fails instantly, but if not by the time the memoization happens it will be known.

Consensus becomes whichever one has all the transactions. If there is a firewall issue such that you can not reach the main chain, you can simply not issue any transactions. Same as today.

I can see a potential that I am in the wrong here, not knowing about a crucial detail, but I don't know what that detail is.
At this point I think Tesla's future in the automotive market depends on just two factors. Their DC fast charging network, and their supply of batteries.

I'm confident they currently hold the upper hand on both fronts right now and for the next couple of years most likely. I am not at all confident that they can hold onto either advantage much longer than that.
The language on the site talks about requiring a whole house manual or automatic transfer switch. Plus the thing has a 240v outlet. (presumably split phase, 240v single phase is not common in US residential settings).

I wonder if the wiring is basically plug the 240v split phase into a special outlet in the house that feeds the transfer switch. The 80amp charger is then just a charger.

Could be completely wrong though. We'll know more at launch.
Most phone users aren’t interested in developing software on their phone. They aren’t interested in developing a better systemd. They have no idea what malware actually is.

All that is going to happen if Epic gets their own store is Epic will be collecting the 30% rather than Apple, and the user will get apps that are poorly designed, chew battery, and don’t conform to the UX standards that Apple has set (eg: accessibility) and exploit undocumented APIs which change from iOS version to version.

Epic will blame Apple for all these problems, Apple will blame Epic for not doing sufficient QC, and we’ll be back in court with various store managers demanding that Apple stop changing things.

If you want third party stores, there’s the Android ecosystem. Keep your grubby mitts off the Apple ecosystem.
The pretty obvious solution is to not buy Apple devices

I have never owned an Apple device, but they clearly believe locking them down is part of the appeal of the devices in the first place.

If you want an impartial platform get an android; if you want a curated ecosystem get an apple
Ford also has a hands free driving mode called Blue Cruise. It relies on highly accurate mapped roads as well as on-board sensors so it probably mostly works on just major highways. Still though, major highways are about the only time I'd really trust technology like this at the moment.

Why does Apple restrict access to certain functionality?
App is not necessity good, you can not impose price controls for apps like you can for food for example.
> Introduce an app whose only job is to act as a content player but has no content of its own, then have customers go to your website to buy the content, and then download it to your app. Epic can sell one game that is empty and make every actual game DLC.

I believe this accurately describes Epic Games Store, or any other games storefront like Steam, as they work on desktop platforms like Windows. The Store is free, then all the games are paid (or sometimes, free) "DLC". Is there a fundamental difference I'm missing?
Just clicked for me that someone on Fiverr living somewhere very cheap could pilot an internet connected drone that can return to a charging pad and it would replace a lot of these use cases.
Should Taco Bell be legally required to let MacDonalds set up stall rent-free in their stores?
Every single near-miss I've had while walking in Minneapolis has been due to the driver not paying attention. There wasn't a single time it was due to lack of visibility from inside the vehicle.

My yelling at one driver who was staring at her phone while driving out of a parking ramp and across the sidewalk where she nearly hit me, probably woke her up enough to avoid driving into traffic and being hit by a bus!

No, it's not the vehicles, it's the people driving them.
Basically every other comparable store charges the exact same 30% rate

Google, Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo

The ones that don't just prove that charging a lower rate doesn't actually change the price the consumer pays in any way.
> if they can't sell 100,000 Mach-E's in the next 12 months then they're doing something wrong.

Specifically, the thing they are doing wrong is not having enough capacity to make 100K Mach-Es this year. It's not that demand isn't there, but rather the supply can't meet demand. Same problem Tesla has, just in smaller numbers on the Ford side for the time being.
That extra trip there and back cost an hour out of your day, though, and usually during prime hours.
The only "issue" is the cost will passed down to consumers.
It's clear the pricing is far above what a fair market competitive rate would be.

I would guess their margins on the app store are 90% or higher. If somebody has the number, please provide. But it's clear the fee is significantly above the investment required to keep it running.

Legal precedents regarding private spaces are going to have to change in a lot of ways over the coming decades, as we now live in a world where a single corporation can control major aspects around your entire life. I've been a strong free market proponent myself, but at a certain scale it becomes anti-competitive, which ultimately becomes anti-consumer.

This may not be the case that alters regulations, but I would be very surprised if we don't see big changes to regulate social media/big tech "private spaces".
Academia is dead.

What Austen is doing with lambdaschool.com (and similar) will be the way forward.
This argument was made and their response yesterday was that there is an unacceptable level of malware on macs because they are not locked down the same way.

Wouldn't this hinge on what precisely "entire program" means? A definition for write(2) may not appear in the source code you wrote, but if "entire program" includes e.g., libraries dynamically linked in then it's quite feasible for the end result to be fully defined.

For example, 5.2.2 Paragraph 2 starts with (emphasis added):

Sure, but sometimes leaving out Polish diacritics makes the whole sentence ambiguous, or at the very least harder to read. I personally despise people doing that.

More to the article's point: there were countless times where I accidentaly sent unfinished email by trying to type "ś".
Judging from the comment by Hixie on Feb 20 it seems like it is not trivial to fix. For now I would just avoid animations. If you're building end user applications that have high aesthetic requirements then you should be coding using iOS and Swift. I say that as a Flutter developer.
Huh. I hadn't thought of this before. I'll have to give it a try, thanks! That's a super flexible and cheap option, and I imagine some of the opaque nail polishes would probably nearly block it.

> why a minivan couldn't tow like a truck

Length. The size of trailer you can pull behind a tow vehicle is very dependent on the stability of the tow vehicle, and a lot of that comes down to wheelbase. As long as people want to tow 30+ foot long RVs, they will have to have tow vehicles the size of HD pickups.
>So sure, it's good to make easy adjustments if they lead to big reductions in deaths, but it's not reasonable to care a ton about seriousness restricting the form factor yet think cars are fine in general.

unless the form factor has some very significant upside that I'm not seeing, preventing deaths should be prioritized over people's aesthetic preferences.

>It's clear consumers in the US value the large truck format and are willing to pay for it.

no, it's clear that consumers in the US don't value the lives of pedestrians, and therefore we cannot trust the free market to determine what types of things get made.
I just replaced my phone battery using an iFixit kit a few minutes ago. It's probably extended the life of my phone by a year.
No more uncharitable than saying that modern developers suck at their jobs because they can't make Sublime Text in the same time as it took Ken Thompson to make ed.
Response time isn't zero, though. Likely the attacker would be long gone before these people show up.

I agree it's unpleasant being physically assaulted on the street (happened to me 8 years ago and I still think about it often), as is the utter lack of interest from the police in helping in such situations, but I don't think a private security force is going to do much better.

And to your other point, there is already a thing for tracking someone down after the fact if the police aren't helpful: private investigators.
Not when they're on the clock.

Not for the purposes of the law, nor their employment. The state has much more power in how to bring them into line than it does for private citizens (it just chooses not to use that power in the US).
