They were a little more hesitant to engage in airstrikes because they knew that Serbia would step up the ethnic cleansing if they did.

The US was more concerned with there being instability in Europe than any overriding moral concerns.
I respectfully disagree. I’ve worked on products where field serviceability is a design goal. It absolutely can add complexity and cost - after all, it’s another design constraint. Rivets and glue are faster, cheaper, smaller, and often more reliable than screws. Soldered-on connectors are more vibration resistant and smaller than pluggable ones. Access panels can introduce structural weakness. Gluing or welding cases shut provides environmental protection that’s difficult to achieve with screws.

Even making parts available can be a pain. I might want to spin a new rev on a product where the old parts aren’t compatible with the new - but now I have to warehouse the old in case anybody wants them. I might not actually warehouse anything myself (contract manufacturer ships directly to retailers), but now I have to find a way of warehousing spares of everything. I might not have any good way of packing/shipping some of these loose parts.

That’s not to say R2R is a bad idea or anything (rather, I think it’s generally a good idea) - but it is not free, and we should be realistic about that.
It's pretty awesome, I just learned regex and found it useful
Can you post a screenshot? I'm not seeing any flight path when I go to that link.
There are 2 repair programs:

Apple Authorized Service Provider - the existing one, which has significant barriers to entry and doesn't seem profitable on its own (most of the ones I see around town either sell refurbished computers on the side or provide IT support), though I believe they can at least stock parts as they advertise same-day turnaround on some common repairs. This is the one you're talking about.

The Independent Repair Program, for smaller shops to be able to obtain genuine parts and perform authorized repairs on Apple devices. These don't allow you to stock parts and have a lot of ridiculous restrictions (Louis did a video on it) and is purely a PR thing when the whole "right to repair" idea started taking off and regulators were started to look closer.
Putin's ambitions seem like a geopolitical risk. Maybe on both sides; it seems Autocrats right now like a good 'buffer' - e.g. North Korea. Plus a new forming 'axis' vs 'democracy' power struggle

Hard to argue with the second when looking at the past 2 decades, but looking broader in the past century I think there are many more arguments the other way. Most of Europe for one.
I don't really follow this. Ideally, the spelling errors should fail the build and ordinarily I wouldn't expect PRs to be able to be merged with failing CI checks.

Presumably it's possible to suppress false positive typo reports too and flesh out a per-project dictionary to help all other developers?
I don't think it's different. I think game console makers are also being unfair and should open up their consoles.
So you're annoyed by a few dozen apps you've installed sending notifications that "clutter your screen", and the solution is to allow the thousands of sites you visit do the same.

Okay.
The GOP just wants people to show ID when they vote. If it's so easy to get vaccinated that anyone can do it and we should expect people to show vaccine cards to travel or go about their regular lives, people like you need to stop acting like minorities aren't smart enough to figure out how to get an ID to provide in order to vote

The Democrats want illegals to count in the census to boost their own voting power in places like California. They count for representation but can't vote. Remind you of any past compromises? Democrats always liked getting to vote on behalf of disenfranchised minorities in their state.

Just curious why 7 days is the optimal week-length?

Makes sense for your Range Rover, but Trabants are arguably not road-worthy. Bakelite-like brittle plastic body, 20+ second 0-60 times, no rear seat belts, 26hp smoky 2-stroke, etc.
> The US is rarely interested in affronts against democracy unless there's a geopolitical advantage to be had by leveraging it.

Who are the countries who are willing to intercede militarily purely to liberate a country?

> From a practical standpoint, US interventions almost always make things worse for the people who live there, and in a lot of cases less democratic.

I think this is a fair criticism—intercession is hard—but the question isn’t whether things are better or worse than they were, but rather whether they were better or worse than they would have been under Soviet influence. And you can analyze this as “whether or not a specific country is better or worse” as well as “whether or not the world is better or worse for the diminished soviet influence that would have been afforded by that country falling under Soviet influence”.
>The absolute dream would be to live off 2 or 3k a month , but still pull down 10k or so from a remote job. I want to retire early.

I've done that for a few years with an even bigger difference between income and expenses :) I'm set to quit working for money this year (see post history for more on that).

>Do you contract Corp To Corp?

I have a foreign corporation and invoice my US clients through that.

It sounds like you're a US citizen so a foreign corporation might not make sense in your case. The IRS is after your worldwide income and a foreign corporation isn't necessarily going to help avoid US taxation given that you'll have to disclose the ultimate beneficiary (you) to your US clients with the W8-BEN-E form.

A US LLC might be a better fit for you. Also look into the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion[0], which allows you to earn ~$100k free from US federal taxes if you spend the majority of the year outside of the US. You'll of course have to pay taxes wherever you reside as well, but it's a bit of a grey area if you don't spend >= 6mo anywhere. In that case, you could likely get away with only paying US federal taxes on the amount above the FEIE limit and pocketing the rest. But do consult professionals, don't trust me!

Good luck!

Sorry, 'blockchain' is a corporate buzzword or shitcoin scam. People who spend time to understand the significance of proof of work get it - I mean this with sincerity and hope that you will take the time to understand the implications of pow.
My point was the in-camera software doesn't matter for my use case as long as it stays out of the way. The person I replied to didn't specify what kind of camera. The brands in the list implied non-phone cameras to me.

Oh yeah, the niche channels are pretty good, but we don’t have personalities like Sam Harris, Joe Rogan etc. the closest that comes to mind is maiLab but she’s not exactly polarizing or unconventional.
I don’t think that’s analogous, with cryptocurrency you generate the text file from a random number generator or rolling dice, there is no issue with copyright for private keys. The courts have already ruled that copying DVD decryption keys is allowed under free speech.

You just contradicted yourself. The Magna Carta exists to limit the power of the king and thus serves to benefit the common people. It was one of the most important documents for putting the tyrannical age of kings to an end. Like emperors there were few good kings.
In switching mode power supplies like this, the mains AC is rectified and then chopped up into higher frequency pulses and fed to the transformer. The higher frequency allows for smaller transformer. It also allows for voltage regulation because the input pulse width (in this case via the UC3842B controller IC) can be altered based on the sensed output voltage.
He is in impossible situation not because of Russia, but because of corrupt and violent regime he created. Majority of population in Belarus is pro-Russian, so the alliance between countries would persist after the transition of power (see Armenia, Kyrgyzstan for recent examples of how this works). His personal risks are loss of all assets and the fact that the new government will likely demand his extradition from Russia for criminal investigation. Probably the only reason why Lukashenko is still there is that Russia will not revoke its support until there are signs that opposition wins.
Lying through his greedy teeth
30 seconds is the default “time step” (4.2), but in talking about the transmission delay window (5.2), which the RFC recommends “at most 1 time step”, but also says that validation should occur for both the previous and next time step window. However in practical implementations, 5 minutes on both sides is typically used.
> I've a business of shipping industrial parts and we regularly ship median weight of 50kg

There's the crux. Ebay is not about regular e-commerce retailer, but it is about avg next door Joe selling surplus items that they have. That's the scenario you painted.

These avg Joe will not have 'Delhivery accounts' to ship. EBay is for infrequent non traditional online sellers.

I have friends who have their own e-commerce shopify storefronts, and you are absolutely right they have a hassel free shipping experience (more or less), but I know that they in their dreams will not use eBay if it was there in India.
Not EU, but some of the EU member countries (France, Spain, Portugal and Italy). They denied flyover permission to that aircraft, causing it to divert.

Since it was heading for Bolivia it obviously had enough fuel to go back to Moscow, if needed - for instance if Snowden had actually been onboard.

The thing that happened today (faked bomb alert and landing order accompanied with a fighter jet escort) is not on the same level.
I once tried to used vector tiles from mapbox, they were zipped protocol buffers in a sqlite database, quite a nightmare.

That's easy. Can you run spreadsheet programs, image editors, IDES, etc by default on consoles? Just approved software, no jailbreaks, hacks, etc.
I assume it's that for most apps, the hosting/payment processing/... costs outweight the revenues they make from their cut, but not for games.

It's easy to call for a Hail Mary strategy from afar. Protest is becoming more common[1], but protests that successfully topple regimes remain rare.

Living in Shenzhen, it’s shocking how easy it is to go out and repair stuff. Living in Palo Alto, it’s frustrating how hard it is.

I’m thinking maybe, just maybe, introducing repairability laws won’t solve the problem.

I am perfectly happy upgrading the memory on my MacBook Air with a reflow air station rather than swapping out some dims if it means my laptop is half as thick and twice as rugged. I’m also just as happy dropping my phone off at a corner shop to replace the glass (while preserving the same electronics) using an industrial laminating machine.

My problem today is not that repairability laws impede my progress here (they certainly don’t exist in China either).

My problem is I can only get the chips and schematics I need to effect the repair on the Chinese Internet (WeChat/Taobao) or find someone to do the repair for me for $40 on the Chinese street markets (Huaqiangnan in Shenzhen). When I go to a corner store in the US the “solution” to swap the whole sub-assembly (glass+electronics) not just glass in case of a screen repair for $100+
Sales price: $100

Apple's cut: $30

Costs (including dev and mktg): $40 (60% net profit)

Profit: $30
Visa charges you 3% but doesn’t have an online store that I can find your app on, and don’t run security checks against your app to check for malicious apps, etc.

So I think we can agree that a realistic number for Apple is definitely above 3% for the service they provide.

We can argue about 30%, and that’s a good discussion, but 3% is no way comparable.
This seems like the challenge with things like github marketplace. Devs rarely hold the purse strings. Managers can't be bothered with the minutia. Indie devs that do care about such things, well, already either spell well or have spell check in their editors.

So there seems to be limited utility for github to even have a marketplace. Enterprisey all in one solutions seem to be the only thing that can succeed there.
Its the same on the S21 Ultra, you can't uninstall the app but you can disable it.

I wonder if circuits printed on paper would yield themselves to the same specialized applications as flexible PCBs.

For example, there are many variations of custom-made Dactyl keyboards, most of which require hand-wiring to accommodate for the curved shape of the design: https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard

Innovative designers have come up with alternatives that rely of flexible PCBs. The most recent example I recall is the Bastyl keyboard: https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/jvacs6/gb_basty...

I don't know how to even begin prototyping with flex PCBs, but that barrier to entry may be lessened with paper circuits like these.
> It renders everything on the GPU, even axes and text.

Yeah, DOM needs immediate mode graphics. Like the one I've added to Sciter, this for example:

element.paintForeground = function(gfx) {
...
}

allows to custom draw a) on top of default element's content (note: any element, not just <canvas>), b) with the paint frequency (60 FPS) and c) on GPU directly - gfx there is the same graphics that HTML content uses.

So you can still use Context2D for GPU drawing without the need for WebGL.

Even you can push vertices on WebGL fast enough there are other problems, text measurement and rendering for example.
WebGL simply have no means for drawing texts.

So I've added Graphics.Text - attributed text layout that caches chars-to-glyphs and layout calculations...
A major problem with Rossmann I have is that he leaned into a strong anti-Apple PCMasterRace crowd. For them, listening to him rant against Apple gives them a fun confirmation bias that they were right to buy PCs. They enjoy listening to that, but his very long rants aren't very interesting to newcomers or for spreading right to repair to new audiences. Does my mom have time for a 45-minute rant full of complex technical details about how Apple is bad and we need Right to Repair?

The other problem I have with him is that he always assumes Apple is nefarious because Apple is nefarious. He never addresses ulterior motives that Apple may have had for a decision, nor attempts to consult with engineers about why Apple's engineering might have some reason to it. Apple is anti-repair because they're a big company and because Apple hates noble honest people like him, not because there are any other logical explanations.

Finally, my last sticking point with Rossmann as a Right to Repair leader is that he is constantly missing the forest for the trees. He constantly picks on Apple because that gets clicks, but he mostly ignores all the BS that other PC manufacturers are doing or experiencing. When's the last time you saw him talk about a Surface Laptop 3, a laptop with a repair program because the screen was spontaneously cracking? Or the Surface Pro 4 with the battery inflating issue? Or a Razer Blade that spontaneously died on Linus Tech Tips after only a year of use?
I generally think of a switching power supply as a PWM damped by a capacitor. Never knew exactly how oversimplified my thinking is.
50/60hz requires a large transformer core. Switching power supplies rectify to DC, then drive the transformer at potentially megahertz which increases efficiency and substantially reduces the size and weight of the core. For similar reasons aircraft use 400hz 115v supply as it makes all of the power conversion electronics dramatically smaller.
Except android has multiple app stores and most people just end up using the main one.
There is no good reason to restrict user choice
Cybersecurity drastically varies depending on the actions of a business in a way which physical security doesn't, short of the business failing to lock its doors at night. And if the business does fail to lock its doors, the business is directly hurt, giving businesses incentives to treat security properly, while security breaches often hurt the customers, but not the company.

Also, you don't generally see the police demanding that retailers have windows that are easy to break because the police might want to rob them themselves someday, but the equivalent is routine with the government and cybersecurity.
Has it occured to you that maybe those other OSes and devices are shit precisely because they give unfettered access to developers/scammers/adtech on their platform?
You should use requestAnimationFrame and inspect the timestamps passed to the callbacks to check how much time has elapsed (a setInterval of 1 second may not run every 1 second, so I would not feel safe!)
They have no choice but to gain more control over it. Crypto could very well be a make or break factor in whatever strategies they have planned to stop inflation.
It might be. But political actors are good at leaving plausible deniability regarding their true motives: "We've dispatched a fighter jet to help you find your way to the landing strip."
As medical cannabis patient, I certainly avoid any routes that could potentially land (e.g. because of technical issue) in a country that is anti-disabled people.

edit: why is this being downvoted? Certain countries have harsh drug laws and couldn't care less whether the use is legitimate or not. Even if you don't have any medication on you, but you have metabolites you can get yourself in prison. This should be called out, but it seems like people have succumbed to prohibitionist propaganda.
Prolog might also belong on that list as another "weird" paradigm to explore.
His grandmother already has an iPhone, so it's unlikely that she was using Android 10 or 11 (which made it fairly easy to install an apk file). Until Android 9 you had to go through some menus and allow sideloading, something that "clueless" people usually don't do. It's more likely that the "malware" came from an app installed via the Play Store.

Three or so years ago I was asked by someone to see if there was a virus on their phone. The "virus" was in fact a religious app, installed via the official store, which was opening a popup with ads every few hours.

Now, I could be wrong and it's possible that his grandma actually sideloaded an apk. If she did, I still think that you should be able to install an app that isn't allowed by Apple on their store, after all they block more than just malware: apps with free licenses, some VPN apps in some countries, torrent apps without any illegal content in it, etc.

If Apple wants to continue on this path, hopefully they'll go a step further and also remove the web browser and the ability to receive calls. Scam calls are a problem after all and we don't want people to send all their savings to "Microsoft" or "Amazon".

Looks like this is a better article:

https://spacenews.com/esa-awards-study-contracts-for-lunar-c...

The European Space Agency has issued contracts to two European industry groups to begin concept studies of lunar satellite systems that would provide communications and navigation services.

"to begin concept studies" ... afaict they have no satellite hardware built and no rocket launches booked. The NASA HLS Starship selection really has thrown the entire Artemis program and associated space pork into limbo. If you're landing 100 tons of payload on the Moon on a reusable/rapid launch rocket stack this entire sort of proposal "let's put together a working consortium to study launching one pathfinder lunar comms sat in 2023 and then study perhaps launching up to a handful more undefined years later [at a cost of $100 million per launch]" is just going to become "SpaceX dumped 100 spare Starlinks into lunar orbit as a rideshare on this week's mission, so now we have Moon internet"
> Poland and Hungary (not to mention Turkey a bit further away) are already leaning dangerously close to the kinds of abuse of power only seen in dictatorships

Please show me examples in Poland or Hungary of opposition voices being silenced or arrested.

The worst that has happened is withdrawing government financing or grants to entities that aren’t pro government. That’s not exactly a dictatorship.

In Hungary almost all the online press is anti government. No one gets arrested. Their are 5 opposition parties now uniting against government, no one is silenced.

Yes the state TV is pro government. But this is not unique to Poland or Hungary. In fact I’d argue the pinnacle of state TV, the BBC is very much leaning to one side of the political isle right now too.
