>but the problem is that such sanctions hurt the population the most.

This sort of coexistence has been attempted and patently failed.

It's their population, not ours. An important distinction.

We (rest of the world, but particularly Europe) need to get stricter.

Welcome to HN. You see these kind of posts on every topic (I have had first-hand knowledge of a certain event, and you come on here and someone will tell you with authority that you are wrong...and actually X/Y/Z happened...this place is very unique).

What people also underestimate is how hard professionals hit the ball, without looking like they are hitting it hard. I had a relatively hard shot, I have injured GKs in pens, I trained with a guy who was once a reserve keeper for a lower division professional side (retired a few years)...I didn't come close to scoring because my shots were nowhere near hard enough. Free kicks are the same, you see the shot in slow-mo, it looks like they are swatting the ball softly...in reality, their technique is so good/efficient that they are crushing it whilst aiming it carefully.

Most professional clubs employ people who just look at penalties. They look at techniques, they look at strategies...saying that the keeper should wait for the ball when it is going 70mph and you have under 100ms to decide is...ludicrous.
The quote says 'went by before the last', i.e. counting from introduction to adoption; not adoption to present ('have gone by since').

The Gregorian calendar was introduced in 1582 according to Wikipedia, so less than 200 by GP's comment.
Those would still be the exception rather than the rule. Not the ‘standard.’
No, it's certainly not. If the bomb threat wasn't real (and I would definitely doubt that it was) that's a violation of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, Art. 5.
The joke used to be that Best Buy was just a showroom for Amazon. That is definitely no longer the case.
Civilian aircrafts actually have somewhat stronger protections than government/military in that regard. So it is worse than Morales'

I have some points to use, so I tried to find an espresso dosing funnel on Amazon. This is a metal ring that sits onto of the espresso basket to make grind less messy.

It's shifting through loads of absolute trash.

* Many with "product tolerances may be 1cm to 3cm off". This is a device that's about 2inch (58mm). 3cm is half the width. Perhaps they mean millimeter....

* Magnetic and non-magnetic ones mixed together. Seller even communicates they have mixed stock and will not guarantee which one you get. I want the magnetic one.

* Misleading claims on nearly every description to suggest the product has features of much more expensive funnels.

I'm only willing to tolerate it because I don't actually need this item and I can get it for free from Amazon. But...it's getting to the point where I might as well pay more and wait to get it from a reputable seller.
I got offered a $40 gift card for a positive review of a $50 product.
I might buy into that theory if they didn't have Apple Pay in the browser.
Surely they'd have to prove intent?
> Most penalties are poorly taken.

According to a study of over 100,000 penalties by InStat, about 75% end up in goal [1]

It's easy to argue therefore that they fulfill their objective within the rules of football: to concede significantly positive scoring odds to an opponent who has otherwise been denied the opportunity to do so.

From what perspective are most penalties poorly taken? Classical mechanics, aesthetics...?

Fun fact: George Lucas named Ahsoka Tano after the most famous emperor of Maurya Empire: Ashoka.

This historical character is fascinating to me especially, as someone who lives on the banks of river Daya where Ashoka fought his bloodiest war: the Kalinga war.

Ashoka blamed himself as the cause for destruction. In repentance, Ashoka decided to devote the rest of his life to Ahimsa and converted to Buddhism.
> There is no hidden design reason here - it was clearly changed to stop people like him from repairing macbooks, because their specific chip revision is not available on the open market.

This is an assumption. It's an assumption based on the assumption that designers would put time and effort into making a simple replacement operation somewhat more difficult. I can make an assumption too: that the designers wanted a new chip revision to fix some small errata, to have a custom pinout to ease routing, or to break out an additional pin or two to allow more reliable testing. This assumption is based on the assumption that Apple wants to make good quality products and puts time and money into DFT/DFM.
Anybody remember the “last samurai”? : “too many minds” when they parry.
Competing harder for the limited pool of competent security people might redistribute breaches away from your company onto others. From a local perspective this could be rational but as a society we want to be less vulnerable in aggregate.

(Although there I think the IT operations side is vastly overblown and not nearly enough attention is paid to quality control on the most popular software packages. Want to make every business substantially more secure at once? Take a hard look at Windows Server, Exchange, etc).

Pretty hard to know who the minority is in this case. Based on other HN opinions about Apple products, there seems to be a consensus that Apple customers are mostly not tech savvy. If they were, they wouldn’t buy Apple stuff.
> It's still very fucked up that the US signed a treaty with Iran saying "we'll lift sanctions if you do X", Iran did X... and the first thing the US did after the next administration change was to say "Fuck the treaty we signed, we're putting sanctions back".

Yeah it is fucked up. What is the word of the US worth if it's going to flip flop every time the party in power switches. That's going to have ramifications.

> Also, I don't see how the US has any sort of moral legitimacy to unilaterally decide which country is a "good actor" and which country is a "bad actor", even against the wishes of its allies (including western democraties). In a fair process the US would only be one of several countries deciding together, and would only act with common backing.

Every country can decide for themselves who are good and bad countries, and they're free to take whatever action they feel is appropriate, including war. That's how nations work. Now some actions have consequences, and some nations have more or less power and influence. The US does have some moral authority in that it sometimes stands up for what's right rather than what's in their best interests. For example, bans on buying conflict minerals.

The UN is supposed to function like you're saying, but in reality it's quite dysfunctional. Because of the veto system the default action is no action so it's hard to agree on anything.

> But don't act surprised when other countries start banding against US hegemony.

They can and they will, but such is the nature of things. Nations rise and fall.
Apple critics like to watch content produced by someone who regularly critisizes Apple. So what? No surprises there.

Yeah, he often talks about things outside his wheelhouse. He has an entire series about real estate in NYC. That doesn't make his actions and commentary regarding right to repair any less legitimate.
I first learned about this from Mythbusters, where they proved you indeed can polish a turd.
All CBDC transactions will be centralized and tracked, allowing perfect understanding of what they're used for. When the government disallows bitcoin/etc because of constant scams, changes to its structure, or just to various cryptos from manipulating monetary policy, all of the transactions will be tracked and the government will know who spent what on bitcoin.

CBDCs are literally just government currencies with a million times better tracking than the current banking scheme.

It isn't going to make bitcoin easier, it's a direct threat to every advantage bitcoin has, while still having the utility of being exchangeable for actual goods and services, something bitcoin lacks except maybe on the dark web.

CBDC are what is going to kill the wild west of crypto, the way the centralization of everything on the internet has killed much of the wild west of the internet.

Imagining that centralizing and improving tracking will somehow make the wild west come faster is not paying attention to how things have gone so far, and the actual aims of making a CBDC. It's not to give up control of monetary policy, it's to get it back.
> I can buy a game from a store as well.

Console games sold in stores pay a licensing fee to the console maker, so the maker still gets their 30%.

> I can choose which console I buy to consume these games on.

Not really? You can't play the new Demons' Souls on an Xbox, no matter how much you want to. You also can't get Gamepass on a PS. Console sales are driven by exclusives.
I'm not sure why you would say that. Some critics on this thread have given pretty good reasons for why they "dislike" Rossman. while it may seem like some (not most) of those points are attacking Rossmans character, I don't see how some of his character doesn't have a direct impact on his arguments. If he always goes for clickbait titles, has a tendency to exaggerate, prefers to perpetually rant/glorify himself or likes to talk about things that he clearly does not know a lot about that can obviously taint the core of his message to some.

FWIW, personally I've watched Louis since the very beginning and he knows a lot about repairing electronics. But I also think the way he kept getting more and more attention as he ranted about Apple really changed the channel and his character at least on video.

Also, I honestly think it's more childish to use the "if x is getting criticized it means it's probably right" trope here than it is to criticize the personality of a public figure.
First Freedom of the Air: the right or privilege, in respect of scheduled international air services, granted by one State to another State or States to fly across its territory without landing (also known as a First Freedom Right).

If you look at the numbers, a decently hard shot has the ball travel faster than 20 m/s, so the ball is at the goal line 0.5 seconds after the shot. Now, that means the goalie has to travel at something like 7 m/s. For comparison, the long jump world record traveled at 10 m/s, but not from a running start. [0] So allowing for reaction time and some delay because the ball need to travel a bit distance before one can see which direction it travels, it is simply not possible to react to a well shot penalty.

However, that is numbers for professional sports. In amateur, the ball will be shot at a somewhat lower velocity, and importantly, amateurs are a lot less likely to actually shoot a well placed penalty. So in lower leagues, it is a more reasonable strategy to try to react to the ball.

Most messaging apps are centralized. Some form of server side checking can be easily added to make sure the client is legit and not tampered with. Same form of checking thing if it's P2P but it would be very cumbersome.

Now it is possible that someones has cracked the encrypted messaged payload and figured out how to fool the client authenticity checking part but at that point you are probably dealing with a state actor and even apple with their secure app Store cannot save you.
If you’re like me, after a while, your home gets filled with cheap Chinese stuff. Some go into the trash and some go to the ‘Free Stuff’ pile outside.

Unwinding my life without products is a daily/monthly/yearly occurrence and I greatly appreciate quality and thoughtfulness that goes into a product over simple function. I’ve also shifted focus to software and cloud which helps a bit to declutter. I no longer run a lab full of hardware at home.

Deploying a half-assed encrypted transport in front of a full-assed encrypted transport because you're afraid you might not know how to configure the full-assed encrypted transport is pretty funny, which is why I thought it might be a joke.

Port knocking, fail2ban, nonstandard SSH ports, all of that stuff is theater.
I think your problem is arising from your approach to it. It sounds like you see it as a less regulated version of shop, rather than a more regulated version of eBay.

In a shop, you might buy the cheapest option, and be fairly confident it will work.

You wouldn’t, or at least shouldn’t do that on ebay.

It’s the same on amazon

Maybe something like this could be created comparatively easily and inexpensively.

NASA tested optical communication to Moon in 2013 already [0], so the technological readiness level of some highspeed transmission technology should be quite high already.

If such an optical communications module were installed on a sat that could also talk to off-the-shelf Starlink sats, this satellite could serve as relay that connects Earth to a (very?) small constellation of Starlink satellites. Beside the bespoke relay satellite, this might be a rather inexpensive solution (Starlink satellites are cheaper than $500k per piece already, as far as I know).

A counterargument I can think of is that Starlink satellites might not be hardened enough to work outside of Earth's protective magnetic field.

I disagree, I found it very funny. Unprofessional perhaps, but funny.
Talking about it in the review is annoyingly likely to get the review removed for being "off topic". You're supposed to report the merchant to amazon directly and only review the product.

One use if GMO is to engineer a plant, that is resistant to a specific herbicide, which is typically sold by the same company (see e.g. Monsanto and Glyphosate).

Another use is to engineer plants that produce insecticides themselves, which raises the concern if those insecticides affect other organisms as well.
Why would they close profitable stores instead of unprofitable stores?
I don't mean to nit pick, but it's seems like the only way to iron this out. "Theft is defined as stealing" isn't right. Rather: theft is defined as stealing property (or services). Property means real possessions in this context, not intangibles like IP.

A person can steal an idea (or market share) and it wouldn't make them a thief.

The fact that a victim of copyright infringement may end up disadvantaged to the exact same extent as if they were a victim of theft does not magically equate the two, even if the two involve stealing.
GP said they're not using the app. This is about uploading photos via the web browser.

You’re right. The counter examples here are comparing the availability of non-Apple approved apps to matters of life and death. It’s disingenuous.

What is a neutral country? The flight started from Greece (NATO country) was going to Lithuania (NATO country) and the plane is registered in Poland (NATO country).
Good. The "browser is a mini-OS" metaphor has proven to be an absolutely terrible experience for both developers and end-users. Time to find another way.
Given that tons of people blindly mash through any vaguely worded permission box, you either have to have so many strongly worded permission boxes that genuine competitors cry foul (like what Epic alleged Google was doing) or you have to make it easy for people to install alternatives, making it ripe for abuse.

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

Amazon reviews are just another metric. If you do not have personal accountability, the measure will always be gamed.

The reason that reddit is the only place on the internet where you can get general purpose recommendations, is because it relies on the personal accountability of the users giving feedback have between each other. As the subreddit gets to large, this is lost. Treasure small communities.

There is no way to improve the system. The more you improve the metric, the more the metric is gamed. Stop relying on metrics.

> Who feels ostracised in their job? I’d say generally it’s the hardcore right-wing people who lean towards being poor communicators

I feel ostracized in my job. Of course, no one actually knows I'm right-wing at work, so they'll openly trash talk straw-man caricatures of my beliefs in front of me, which leads to further self-ostracism. I think that's the big lie of the progressive elite we have today: it pretends to be inclusive and preaches "bring your whole self to work," but in reality this is all just another status hierarchy to climb.

But I likewise haven't been a fan of Parler and Gab. If I were to guess, one of the YouTube clones will succeed first before something like Parler or Gab.
Such articles got banned in major social platforms such as Twitter or Facebook until recently. Are conspiracy theories now becoming mainstream?
I had a similar experience with a USB-C hub I bought from a brand recommended by wirecutter (not the exact model as it was "replaced by a newer model". I plugged it into a brand new laptop and I got a warning about it drawing too much power, which persisted when I plugged several other devices. I returned the hub and have been getting spammed by these emails ever since. That has made me very wary of buying anything from Amazon now without a good recommendation from someone I personally know.

If yes, instead of boosting all submissions, the user decide the boost, with quadratic karma cost, or similar.
Depending on the game the error is often much larger. Especially when you have things like free player movement and obstructions. A little error can become a big error if one client sees a player move around a wall and the other see's them hit the wall and stop.
Bitcoins are entries on a ledger, which you can transfer by signing a message with a key. The keys are typically a master key encoded as a 12 or 24 word seed phrase, from which the actual keys are then derived.

What this regulation is targeting isn't the holding or sharing of the keys itself, but the use of exchanges to convert between cryptocurrency and fiat (regular) money. They want to restrict/regulate (mostly monitor for now, but more regulation is likely to follow)

a) the ability to send Bitcoin that you bought on an exchange to your own wallet, i.e. your ability to get Bitcoin that you actually control yourself with said text file

b) the ability to send Bitcoin from such a wallet to an exchange to turn them into "regular money".
Top executives and superstars can make lots of money. There are also very few of them and there's a winner-take-all mechanic. I wouldn't choose that as a path to wealth unless I have some unfair advantage. It's not a path available to your average person.

> Odds are a doctor making 7-figures will become more rich compared to an entrepreneur who dropped out of college.

The only doctors that make that much are either superstars with a brand of their own, or entrepreneurs with their own practice.

Doctors these days don't make that much money, but it varies a lot depending on location and specialization. I'd rather be a programmer or a lawyer from a money perspective.
Apple requires developers to offer sign-in with Apple if they use other sign-in systems (like FB). They could have the same requirement with payments.

Users should be given the option of using Apple's system if they want to.

After all, It's Apples' argument that their payment system is light-years better for consumers. If true, then users will naturally gravitate towards Apples' payment system. Right? This would result in a cycle where Apple (and other payment systems) are incentivised to continuously improve. What's wrong with that? Why not let the consumers decide what is best?

Let Apple's payment system compete on its actual merits. Apple says it's a much better system after all. I say - let them prove it. They should "put up or shut up", so to speak.
