Given how expensive arbitration is, I'm not surprised they are changing this. When you have 75k disputes, it's probably cheaper to get sued through the regular judicial system than to pay arbitration for everything.
Arbitration really only works when the two parties need speed. Like two large business entrenched in a multi-million dollar contract issue. Not for when you have disputes with your customers.

My guess is that this is a problem caught through an audit. They realized they were siphoning millions of dollars of arbitration fees to solve menial conflicts.
There are no simple solutions here. I do believe the homeless ought to be assigned housing by making California’s Project Room Key permanent and national. If you can prove some connection to the location where you’re sleeping rough, you get first crack at local housing. Otherwise it’s back to where you have that connection — could even be where you were born.

These motels will be slums. There will be prostitutes, and drug dealers, and crime. But it will also be a central location for service outreach without the prerequisites of other places.
Looks like DARPA's budget is about 3.5 billion a year vs. the overall defense budget of something like 715 billion. I'm betting that a lot more people would feel ok about paying taxes if more of it was going towards these types of projects rather than empire building in far away parts of the world.
This is a fair thought. It's why some wonder why people use Vim, emacs, or keyboard shortcuts in general...

However, one of my reasons is that I work out of coffee shops a lot. Not having to bring an extra piece of hardware that takes up space is a big deal for me and not taking my hands off the keys is a big deal.

I was a gamer (Counter-strike), and as precise as I believe my mouse-clicking to be, it is far less precise than the correct sequence of keystrokes to get to some parts...

Readline shortcuts available in most shells, i.e., ctrl-a (beginning of line), ctrl-e (end of line), meta-b (back a word), meta-f (forward a word).

In Vim - I can delete entire code-blocks with a quick sequence and have my cursor ready to type, and I can move chunks of code with their delimiters far more easily than my fairly precise mouse clicking and highlighting then moving my hand back to the keyboard to hit backspace. I can also switch to a "tab" (buffer in Vim) with a few keys without having to cycle through tabs or use a mouse to find the tab I'm looking for with a mouse.

There are many benefits, it's why even though text editors have come so far, people still continue to write Vim plugins for them -- think VS Code, Atom, and all the IDEs that Jetbrains produces...

"pointing at the screen" can be done a lot better, a number of different ways. My personal favorite is the Trackpoint, IBM's nifty little nipple that lets you use a joystick from the home row. You can actually type while using your mouse, and it's a a very jarring experience. Barring that, a touchscreen is also a great interface for quickly interacting with specific UI elements. I like Apple's trackpads, but the rest of their input peripherals are pretty terrible for ergonomics.

The idea of a mesh network is not what concerns most people. It’s the idea that devices from Amazon connect to it automatically and can do whatever they want with it.

The canonical anti-example is this: You buy a smart TV, but don’t give it your WiFi password. No problem, it connects to any Amazon device whether in your house or next door, and now it can sell information about what you watch, how many people its camera can see are in the room, words you say aloud in its presence, &c.

At the engineering level, Apple’s mesh looks like Amazon’s mesh in exactly the same way that at the engineering level, an iPhone looks a lot like a high-end Android phone. What’s different between them is what Amazon uses its mesh network for, just as what’s different between an iPhone and an Android phone is what Google uses its access to your devices for.

Apple obstructs adtech and tracking. Google builds its business on adtech and tracking. Apple uses its mesh network to find items. People fear that Amazon will use its mesh network to spy on you in the name of revenue.

> These can help against GPS spoofing / jamming by identifying false signals

Hrm, it would definitely stop a spoofer from misleading you about what time it is.

If you care about your position: given the fact that GPS satellites are so far away and the signal is so weak, I don't see how it provides any defense against jamming specifically. If you can't hear the satellites, you can't hear them.

Regarding spoofing, it really only defends against spoofed signals emanating from other satellites. This is a big concern for the military. For everybody else "spoofing" means spoofed signals from other land-based or atmospheric transmitters, which once again are close enough to easily drown out the true signal completely.

TL;DR: useful if threat model includes attacker-controlled satellites.

"I've said this previously, if you for a second think Apple is protecting you against evil "Social Media company" or "Evil X Advertiser", you are wrong. Apple is only looking out for Apple. "

How are these two sentences at odds with each other? Apple is absolutely "protecting me against evil social media companies" because I give them a lot of money for their products that offer privacy as a feature. They are looking out for Apple by providing a high value, sadly unique service in the industry, and their users obviously appreciate it.

It is possible for there to be aligned interests between a user and a provider. Pointing out that they're doing it for their own reasons (which in this case is their product positioning) isn't the slam dunk you think it is.
More devs should know about Intl - it's a great resource for a HUGE number of tasks as well as being a great way to smooth localization. I only became fully aware of it in the last 12 months, so I'd wager there's a lot of other devs who've missed out.

One helping hand is that libraries like date-fns (http://date-fns.org) use it liberally under the hood.
I don't have a link right now, but I recall seeing at least one study within the past few months that showed just that: that despite the increased intrusiveness of data collection and ad tracking and targeting, conversion rates have not increased appreciably over simple context-based ad placements like we had a decade or so ago.

> How many are in a position to make an informed decision?

State TV was not very popular even when I lived there some 20ish years ago, and now everyone and their grandma gets their news from Telegram. Telegram usage dropped a bit because many are afraid of having it on their devices, but it is still by far the most popular way of getting news.

It's really hard to estimate the number of those who continue watching state TV. The least educated and people with disabilities watch easy-to-reach Russian propaganda channels as much if not more. Those are at least captivating ;-).

I don't know why you were downvoted because this is a valid question.

Most NVMe expansion cards ('carrier cards') do not integrate any extra IC (or just a retimer) and instead rely on motherboard feature called PCIe bifurcation which essentially turns a x16 slot into four 'virtual' x4 slots. These can be fairly inexpensive ($50-$80), e.g. Supermicro AOC-SLG3-2M2 which provides two NVMe x4 connectors or Linkreal LRNV95NF which provides four.

If your motherboard does not support bifurcation then you need a more expensive ($150-$200) card with a PCI switch (e.g. SuperMicro AOC-SHG3-4M2P or Linkreal LRNV9524 which use PLX PEX switches).

That's why I posted an article that describes what the complications are, reference number [3] above. It's mainly a game-centric and people-centric view of problems with quaternions, not a list of technical problems with the representation. In short, many programmers don't understand quaternions, so using them puts an education burden on the team, a burden that is most frequently un-met. Quats can be less efficient, if you're not paying attention to what you're doing.

> ...not implemented inside quaternion libraries using quaternion exponentiation like the article does, but by computing angles explicitly...

How else would you compute quaternion exponentiation? I don't think there's really a dichotomy here. When you compute quaternion exponentiation, one natural way to do it (as with complex numbers) is to think of the quaternions as a real magnitude multiplied by a phase. For complex numbers, the magnitude grows according to exp(x) and the phase evolves according to cos(x)+isin(x). This just falls out of Euler's formula. If you know that the magnitude is 1, you take the exp(x) term out, and you end up with a point that moves in a circle.

The same thing applies to quaternions.

I'm aware that there are other ways to compute quaternion exponentiation, but this is just a natural way to do it, especially for people who aren't experts in numeric programming.
What about the rest of the browsers? Safari has over 30% market share in the US.

> If we decide that taking an experimental vaccine should be necessary for free and unrestricted travel across borders, what's to stop governments from implementing the same thing domestically?

Regarding restriction your movement, as GP states countries have had rules for vaccination during travel for a long time. You have no right to visit another country and countries are free to restrict your freedom of movement within their laws. That's not a liberty you possess, and you're making up scenarios to maximize your potential persecution. Unless that's seriously in discussion, which it's not, it's being dramatic for drama's sake.
