I Am Error was excellent, as was Racing the Beam by Montfort and Bogost. That's from the same "platform studies" series as the Altice book, but focused on the technical and social development of the Atari 2600.

ETH broke 0.12 ETH/BTC last narrative cycle. This is trivial to fact check. Sorry to disturb you.
Russia would make a bunch of noise for sure.

Would they actually do anything more than that?
After this reminder, I remembered his initial response. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23280137

He's since walked that back a bit (see other comments in his profile) , but personally I tend not to give someone the benefit of the doubt after they get shit on for such a terrible response.

(As a somewhat related note, people I know who have tried sourcing through Triplebyte were unimpressed with their candidates. No personal experience myself. I'm also told their cringey reddit ads had really good conversion, which feeds a narrative I'd be happy to believe.)
It's because they can see the bigger picture, beyond these 2010s-era complaints of 'user-upgradable RAM.' This is totally irrelevant in a SOC world.

Apple is indeed reducing the carbon footprint of computer manufacturing, by consolidating more and more components on a single chip (SOC) with M1, and creating smaller and smaller hardware.

There's a ridiculous amount of carbon footprint saved by not having to source, ship, and assemble separate RAM, GPUs, Processors, etc from separate suppliers located all across the world.

10 years from now when your entire motherboard and all its components sit inside a chip small enough to fit inside a single AirPod...and 20 years from now when the need for physical LCD/OLED panels disappears...does it really matter how repairable it is? Even 100 million of them won't fill a single average-sized landfill.

Hell, we've already broke 1nm [1]. This means hardware will continue to get smaller and smaller for years to come.

Hardware consolidation and physical size reduction is the bigger gain, and the goal we all should be focused on if we actually care about sustainability.

The fact is, only a tiny minority of consumers would even entertain the idea of replacing computer components in the first place. This has been true for the 4 decades PCs have been around with easily replaceable hardware, so I don't think Apple changing to Philips head screws is going to change that.

They clearly aren't sending them to Apple, because they do it while you wait.

And they don't claim to be authorised in any way. I would have thought if they were they'd make a big deal of that.
When Star Trek became a reality in 2066 they initially had a problem with hoarders and misers overusing the replicators. The hoarders would fill their place with TVs and microwaves until there was not an inch to enter.
The misers would make their houses collapse - floors can not take solid gold stacked 9 feet high.
It was only the U235 and Pu239 cutouts that interdicted fissile production.
All was solved with the dereplicator - which replaced the need for toiletss as well - yeah, no toilets in Star Trek in case you never noticed....

But being a millionaire in today's world is not being rich or wealthy. Millionaire Next Door was published *25 years ago*.

To be relevant today it should be titled "Multi-Millionaire* Next Door (* Net worth > 5M)".

I'm sure for a lot of people 1M sounds like a lot, but when a majority of your wealth is tied up in your house - a much much larger % of a 1M dollars today than even 15 years ago - it's not working for you.

(Though, I concede that today, you have the option of refinancing and putting that capital to work, as interest rates are low).

This is subjective, but my personal threshold for when "useless" is OK or not depends on what's going on in the rest of your life.

If you are making a good living, your family is taken care of, etc. etc. then go ahead and make as much useless stuff, because empirically you are making good life decisions and your useless stuff is just fun - doesn't detract from value, or perhaps even helps you learn useful skills that translate into your money-making life.

On the other hand, if you're having employment or financial problems of any sort, the last thing you should be thinking about is "useless" stuff, because there're indicators in your life that you should be focusing on how to make more value for yourself (by making things of value to others.)

I guess that's the same for everything, not just useless projects. I'd have the same criteria for watching a lot of TV - fine if your life is on track, probably should stop if there are other problems!
It is not about making them available. It is about not not making them available. Right now if you email a factory that has the parts they will say they are not allowed to sell them to you for any price even if they have them because Apple/etc said so. It is about removing that gag.

Your argument relies on the fact that the plane "had" to land where it did. It did not. There was nothing preventing the plane from returning to its origin (which is what I would guess the actual intent was).
> Which is exactly what everyone wants to avoid.

Then don't use those other apps stores.

I think that people who care about all this stuff, can very easily just continue to use the Apple app store.
So I can have time to press F2 / Del / F8 (go to BIOS / go to OS boot options) and not miss because the window is too narrow.

Well if I control enough nodes I can send you fake hashes (51% attack).

Thanks to @_Microft for posting in a sub-comment on another article. Fascinating (and exciting!).
I had the time to watch the video. He demonstrates (schematics and images) that a common anti-boneheaded design consideration Apple had adhered to in the past - spacing high-voltage traces away from very-low-voltage traces - disappeared in a more recent model (making it easy for 40+ volts to reach the CPU).

One professional EE would absolutely notice this. So there's no 'maybe' here.
Sorry, I completely misread your post. You're right. My point was actually closer to what you're saying.
> When the public is angry at the government, heads will roll. When the public is angry at corporations, heads will glide down in golden parachutes.

That's hardly true. People are rarely angry enough for heads to roll, and almost never that angry at corporations. But if they are that angry, heads have certainly rolled at corporations. Most of the time, nothing happens when people are angry at govs, and if they are angry enough for heads to roll, its more likely to be the people's heads than the government's.
This article is pretty light on details. The main things that matter when recycling is how much of a cost savings over new is possible and how much the resulting material is degraded by the process. You can 'recycle' anything with enough money and enough tolerance of bad product.
Approximate flight data from ADS-B has been plotted and is visible in the article.

Even with the benefit of the doubt, it looks very shady. You could probably argue that it's the closest airport within the airspace they're currently occupying (which was Belarus airspace at the time) but the whole Belarus narrative stinks.

What particularly stinks is the Ryanair response/reaction. I can only assume that Ryanair is being coy about the whole situation because they want to continue using Belarus airspace, but there might be more to it.
Vitalik addresses that issue in the section on statelessness and state expiry.

Graphviz is great. I just wanted something not text based. Something relatively easy for non technical folks to use. And something that has a single representation (not text and then also a separate layout view). The goal is to make it so editing a graph feels as fast as you can type, like a spreadsheet or a bullet list in a text doc.

A sane government would not, but a sane government would also not hijack the plane.
I don't think shards are powered by hashing? I think nodes participating in Ethereum 2.0 are assigned to shards by the beacon chain, and they work to grow the shard's transactions by deciding on transaction ordering and inclusion in a BFT manner.

Also, it's not clear to me that it's "thousands," nor is it clear to me that this even matters. If they're all in the same datacenter, and that datacenter temporarily gets disconnected from the other shards' nodes, then the shard is effectively dead as far as the rest of the network is concerned.
IMO, the balance in Apple disintegrated when Woz left.

I will not buy any device that does not give me control of the device. If I can't sideload apps, can't install a 3rd party store, do not have the ability to root my own device, I won't buy it. Apple has decided that's not allowed, fine, I won't buy their product. That's between Apple and their customers.

But it is certifiably insane that Apple thinks they have the right to dictate to Epic what Epic charges for its apps on their store. If Epic thinks Fortnite is worth $30, and Epic charges Android users $30 for the binary to sideload onto their Android devices, and because Apple charges a 30% surcharge, Epic sells the same app on iOS for $42.86, and Apple says, "no, you're not allowed to do that, you have to charge $30 just like you do on Android" -- no. Absolutely not. Apple does not have the moral/ethical right to do that.

That’s a company that hires based on actual knowledge and skill, rather than certificates and buzzwords.
Where are you based, and what are you watching?

I'll agree that there is too much emphasis on profit at many companies at the moment. Food delivery companies aren't making the world a better place, they're making it worse with the increase in single use packaging. They're taking an outsized amount of money, forcing the restaurants to give up some of their profit, and as a result, the some restaurants just can't continue.

But there are also companies that are doing great things, and there are non-profits also doing great things.

Walk around your local grocery store, and realize that much of what is there exists because of capitalism. Do you have a favorite product or service? It probably exists because of capitalism.

Does that mean that everything needs to be done to maximize profit? No, that's just pure greed, and a major issue in society today. But though capitalism can feed into greed, it doesn't have to be that way. Perhaps it's an opportunity for you to find a tribe with the same beliefs as you and find a better way to have an impact.

Thanks. Theres a mode where you can hide the cell borders which kind of makes more of a gutter between them. But I agree theres something probably better especially for highly connected graphs. At the moment Im opening them in mermaid (theres a link in the shortcut menu) which shows a more traditional layout.

Ive also found that navigating the graph (cmd-arrows) is a good way of understanding its shape. Rather than viewing it statically and following lines with your eye.

We don't need to invade Belarus, we just need to, for example, level the airports in the country, something that Russia can't do much against.

The model you propose is weak to sybil attacks [1] and is based on trust, while the BTC model is based on zero-trust.

There is nothing stopping someone malicious from spinning up thousands of nodes that all say the current hash is Y (with transactions that break the rules of the blockchain) while the remaining minority of nodes say the hash is actually X (the original longest chain). It is only by calculating the hash yourself, based on the full transaction history, that your node can be satisfied that it is on the longest chain. _*After*_ you have confirmed that you have the valid chain, it is possible to prune all the history to just the balances and to only validate new blocks as they come in, but in the case of a fork or malicious actors, your node may end up out of sync.

There may be other ways of tackling this issue that I am not aware of, but this problem in particular is one of the fundamental problems that Blockchains / Bitcoin were designed to solve (consensus among peers that is not disrupted by hostile actors). I have yet to see a better solution for this particular problem.

Yes if users don't validate the chain themselves the network reverts to an very expensive, untrusted SQL database

Funny for vitalik to highlight this obvious fact. Vitalik has often been considered a fraud for promotion Ethereum which is a network too large and bloated for a user to validate

Are you referring to something like graphviz or mermaid? Ya, you dont technically need a mouse. But theyre also not direct manipulation — you edit text and then have a separate visual representation.
I have often thought about this, especially in penalty shoot outs where there are 4 people who aren't the "best" penalty taker that have to take one.

As has been mentioned there are penalties that are just unsaveable and against an elite penalty taker maybe a goalie is better off just picking a side and taking a chance against them but against the rest of the takers I'd be thinking eliminate the chance they get a freebie by diving too early or just picking a side and force them to score the hardest penalty possible
Your book is set in racist times and appears to be about a racist protagonist. If you aren't careful you can allow those sentiments to propagate into the overall message of the novel.

Try to be less defensive, the editor has taken the time to give you feedback - you can take the opportunity to learn why he might have interpreted your work in that way. Even if not every reader does, you now know that some readers do.

So you don't see Saudi Arabia's actions against the Yemenese or Israel's actions against the Palestinians as crimes against humanity? I guess then you have no standards at all then since the ones I'm operating under are shared by the UN and the international community outside of the US and it's sycophants.
This is a cool idea, definitely don’t give up and iterate. I’d either add arrow tips so that the direction of the flow is obvious, or perhaps just render the connections on the cell edges or between them as others suggested.

Once you get the visuals right it’s really cool, and can be used to export to other tools.
By that standard, majority of Wall Street has no use case either, since much of the money is made entirely on speculation. Is betting on whether oil price will go up or down really that much of a use case?

Unless you count making money as not enough of a use case.

I give up though. HN will willfully ignore crypto and miss out not only on life changing money, but one of the few places in tech that is still fun and exciting and hasn’t been “corporatized”.
Costco has a minuscule inventory smaller than most corner stores.

If Costco is selling a blender, it's probably only selling a single one. The fact that it's in Costco's inventory in the first place is the review.
There are many good ideas, it look like. Many ideas are ones I had wanted, so, it is good. But, not quite everything.

Does it support customizing the interpretation of HTML and CSS? Is the web developer console implemented (it is useful for end users too, not only web developers)? Is there a split-screen mode? Can it auto-generate a table of contents? Is the jar: URI scheme supported (I used this to view EPUB files)? Form data saving to local files? Footnotes? Relative URL entry? JavaScript Date spoofing? ARIA view? Regular expression search? Better file selection? Can HSTS be disabled? Animation control? SQL (another way of sorting/filtering tables, copying them to external files, etc)? Adding or changing MIME type handlers? Does it pretty print JSON files? Disabling sounds is implemented, but can you adjust the volume or divert the sound to an external program (that will receive the audio on stdin)? Disabling scripts is implemented, but can you "partially disable" scripts (so that some APIs work and some don't or have a different behaviour)? Can you define your own character encodings? Is there any way to use extensions written in C?

Some of the things I listed might already be implemented, and some can probably be implemented easily enough in Lisp, but some might be more difficult to do.

There are a lot more things I would have it done differently, requiring probably modifying the engine significantly from common web browsers, I would guess.
I don't have a good "resource", but I'm curious as to what you think this resource would do?

Do you have a target market now? If you have one, finding different use cases or users within that target market shouldn't be difficult.

At the base of all economic systems is the answer to the question, "How do you get people to work together for the betterment of all?"

For most of Time calories have been very expensive so we are conditioned to do the least amount of work possible for the most calories. Most economic systems involve some kind of force to get humans to work and work together. Capitalism seems to be the best we have developed. We like to think that we are happy to work for the betterment of humanity but the reality is that that only goes so far. Eventually work becomes a chore and we want to give up. Capitalism works because it hacks people's self interest to work for everyone.

Capitalism has problems but it's the best we have. The best we can do, for now, is to fix the problems that crop up and continue.
As a matter of fact you can do it with just one... That would be a half wave rectifier (not that good, you miss half the cycle). You can also do full wave with just two, but you need a center tap on your transformer. I remember finding both of these in early guitar tube amplifiers schematics (those early ones used vacuum tubes for everything: rectification, pre-amp & power).
See my other replies. Standard bundles of caps by app type; limited/fake caps in place of system cap; yes it's a problem that needs work to demonstrate success at scale; ultimately it's up to the user who owns the device -- we can only design to support their judgement, not replace it. Replacing individual judgement with one central emperor of all phone software leaves everyone vulnerable to the emperor, as the recent and unsurprising news about iCloud in China should highlight.

It's not that I expect Apple to jump right on redesigning their OS. It's the claim that usable security is incompatible with universal computation, requiring a locked-down app store, that I'm objecting to. We have promising ideas about how to do better. We have actual experience of a handful of mass-market OSes, none using those ideas. If we had a lot of diverse experience of mass-market OSes and none of them worked, that would be a powerful argument from experience. But I think in our reality it's just status-quo bias.
