lol the CSS Box Alignment Module spec started in 2012[1]. it's not exactly cutting edge. it is a bit hard to properly nail down this behavior, sure. but this is far from cutting edge. even when the spec was made, it was more trying to quantify what most of the browsers had already steered towards. apple is a serious foot dragger in every manner on the web. there's endless complaining about the web and "back in my day web pages were pages damn it" (aka demanding we all write & download native apps again for everything on every platform) and griping about modern capabilities (usually notifications (cause they're overtly terrible. and someday someone's going to write a browser that deals with permissions ambiently rather than with modals & Google's going to look like a real shit for permission spamming the web)).

the truth is safari is a terrible dragging scourge and really basic stuff like box model isn't implemented until apple absolutely positively has to, and even then they break their stuff regularly.

trying to be all "the spec isn't finallliiizzzeeddd" doesn't make me feel any better.

I am sad that Safari doesn't have ~33% of CSS Box Alignment Module after a decade of it being reasonably well expectable. I am mad Apple roadblocks the web by refusing to allow other browsers to run or compete.

Probably because IRV is easier to actually do and doesn't really have any "free variables" in how you should behave. For example if I strongly like candidate A and I like candidate B a bit less then I should obviously rank them first and second. What about scoring? Should I give them 10, 9? But will that penalise B when A is eliminated? Similarly should I give them Good, Good, or Good, Approve?

You kind of have to keep the whole voting system model in your head to decide.

You might not think it's very difficult but even ranking candidates is too complicated for most people. Anything more complicated than that has no chance in the real world.

> why is there substantially less innovation in Europe?

I know people who started start-ups and spun out side projects here in Europe (both the UK and the continent).

One thing I noticed was that when it came time to raise money almost of all of them ended up needing American investment. We don't have anywhere near as much VC capital here in Europe and the banks are incredibly conservative.

Plus depending on the country the taxes/fees for being self-employed or starting your own business can be incredibly punitive.

> One interesting thing is that Europeans benefit from American innovation.

While we do benefit from American innovation I'd also argue it's a sort of 'digital colonialism' for want of a better term - we don't grow our own huge firms like Yandex, Baidu etc. and instead just hand our cash over to American ones (Google, Facebook etc.)
Quote from Apple Platform Security > Hardware Security > Secure Enclave:

"Devices first released in Fall 2020 or later are equipped with a 2nd-generation Secure Storage Component. The 2nd-generation Secure Storage Component adds counter lockboxes. Each counter lockbox stores a 128-bit salt, a 128-bit passcode verifier, an 8-bit counter, and an 8-bit maximum attempt value. Access to the counter lockboxes is through an encrypted and authenticated protocol.

Counter lockboxes hold the entropy needed to unlock passcode-protected user data. To access the user data, the paired Secure Enclave must derive the correct passcode entropy value from the userʼs passcode and the Secure Enclaveʼs UID. The user’s passcode can’t be learned using unlock attempts sent from a source other than the paired Secure Enclave. If the passcode attempt limit is exceeded (for example, 10 attempts on iPhone), the passcode-protected data is erased completely by the Secure Storage Component."

I like the "What's PipWire" intro, I had no idea what it was, and now I get it. It starts with this nice explanation:

"PipeWire is a media processing graph, this might not ring a bell so let me rephrase. PipeWire is a daemon that provides the equivalent of shell pipes but for media: audio and video."

I've so many projects that still made no sense after reading the ABOUT or README, this one does a nice job of explaining.

I'm also fairly sure it says 'mobile' not 'maple'
(1) your biggest problem is yourself (which means it’s in your control, possible to change)

Not in your control, and can't change, hence the question. A common and dangerous trap. "I can change" may be as treacherous an approach as "say no to drugs". If we locked up all the people that failed to change, our prisons would be full(er). I'd be there too.

Now with the modified premise that "you can't change", "your biggest problem is yourself" becomes horrible news. It's the one thing you can't solve. But that's where many people find themselves.

But if you can't change, then what?

This spares you of all the self-criticims, self-help, self-motivation, and can help you reframe your narrative:

- A therapist doesn't help you "change". You're giving yourself someone to talk to. You're paying someone friendly, that wants to be your friend, has a lot of knowledge about struggling people, and can give you drugs. That's a great deal for anyone who can afford it.

- Drugs don't change you. They medicate you. If you take asprin for a headache, nothing about you changed apart from a less aching head.

Just talking this way will make you feel better already, and it helps that they're true.

I mentioned therapy and drugs because they work and are also mentioned by many other comments. But without "changing yourself" there is a ton you can do. What you have control over and can change are your people, your relationships with your people, your location, your job, how you spend your time, how you spend your money, what you eat, etc, etc.

If you insist people can change, okay, but you have to agree changing these things is far easier than changing people. It's easier to change the relationship with your manager or even replacing him than "changing" your manager. Same applies with yourself.

But the best part is, if you do all these things, you will feel better. You will change. You're one with all of these things. Because, ultimately, that's all you is.

Capitalism as practiced in America is a meritocracy... As long as you stretch the definition far enough to include "being friends with, or descended from, a billionaire" in the tent of "merit."

Edit: to paraphrase Hannibal Buress, you can boo me, but I'm right. ;) Some people succeed by having a better idea and executing on it with technical proficiency, some succeed by convincing someone with a lot of resources to support their endeavors. Most succeed through a mix of the two, but pretending that support of entrenched big-money interests has minimal impact is disjoint from reality.
The effects of testosterone in the womb and during puberty have extremely profound effects on the body that do not ever go away throughout your entire life. Bone density and neuromuscular efficiency are vastly different between the sexes and do not regress with the introduction of hormones later on. The level of testosterone on competition day has by comparison almost no effect on anything. National women's teams in many sports regularly compete with and LOSE to normal boys' high school teams. The lie that MtF people have no significant advantage in sports is just a lie agreed upon. You know it's a lie, so don't agree with it. It's a lie for purely political purposes.

There's a whole field of Positive Psychology studying happiness (and pleasure) and yet the article doesn't mention it once.

The researchers have uncovered a tremendous amount about this topic (see Paul Bloom's "How Pleasure Works: The New Science of Why We Like What We Like", "Stumbling on Happiness" by Daniel Gilbert and the multi-author paper "If Money Doesn't Make You Happy Then You Probably Aren't Spending It Right"), and philosophers have thought about this topic for centuries.

The best reconciliation of philosophy and (recent studies in) psychology of it all is by Michael Bishop and his book: The Good Life: Unifying the Philosophy and Psychology of Well-Being

I just hope that they really don't collect data or profile users, as there could exist the concern that it would get shared with Hubert Burda Media. Or if Hubert Burda Media sees this as a way to shape the search experience in favor of publishers, once it has gained a big enough user base.

It's very simple. If you want to do (professional) sports, you cannot take steroids/testosterone.

Being trans isn't a choice, but taking testosterone or whatever definitely is. It does not matter if you're male, female, trans, chinese, african or american.. Nobody should be allowed take banned PED's in professional sports.

It is very important to keep this integrity in sports. You could argue that you can let a FtM take testosterone because else he wont be able to compete with the others, but what if he started winning. Will people say he won because he's so good or would it be because he's allowed to take testosterone?

No ifs, no buts.
> One interesting thing is that Europeans benefit from American innovation. They have iphones, windows pcs, use google, etc like everyone else.

Until the iPhone, Europe dominated the mobile phone business both in handsets and wireless network equipment. And this wasn't just the manufacturers; texting was pretty heavy and ubiquitous in the mid 1990s while it was still a novelty for the US a decade later.

Europe was a significant player in the early PC revolution and other technologies ubiquitous today; consider, for example, that the ARM processor was developed in the UK.

There was an interesting discussion in the Economist that appeared in HN a week or so ago discussing how Europe has fallen behind economically over the last couple of decades. It's rather surprising.

> I wonder if their focus on mind-numbing algo questions in interviews also contributed to this? Somebody willing to spend months grinding Hackerrank, Leetcode or the like to get a job probably isn't a bastion of criticial thinking.

Fwiw, I didn't practice for my tech interviews and found my Google new-grad interviews pretty easy. IIRC, the questions were "implement a cache" and "turn a sorted array into a binary tree". I haven't done work similar to algorithm problems for a decade now, and I'm pretty sure I could ace that interview again with my eyes closed, using skills that are relatively useful for a general SWE job. Though obviously I was much closer in time to the algo questions of my CS education, and most of the complaints I've heard about the process are not centered around new-grad interviews.

Though perhaps that's your point? As the size of the organization scaled, perhaps they moved away from the type of interview I got, towards interviews that more closely match your complaint. Conducting an interview that accurately predicts job performance is basically an impossible task, so I wouldn't be surprised if, speaking generally, the quality of their interviews suffered from their scaling just as much as their candidate pool did.
That's correct. I haven't used graykey for a year or so, so I can't speaj to any updates that have happened in that time. This article wasn't very interesting, and all this information can be found by calling grayshift sales support staff.

I wonder. With these floor plans being so vague, could the defendants being sued for copyright infringement just argue that these copyrights were so vague that they accidentally copied them?

That is, say there is a plan on their site for a 2BD/2BA house, the floor plan is very simple and a builder that is unaware of this company ends up copying the floor plan for no other reason that it happens to be a very common floorplan. Could this company still pursue damages?

When we think of copyright we often think of companies like Google copyrighting the word "Google". Now you can't go out and use "Google" in your own work, it's pretty dang obvious. But what if Google copyrighted the "Google Grilled Cheese Sandwich" which is just a regular grilled cheese sandwich, could they really go after folks who just happened to make the exact same grilled cheese sandwich just because making one is pretty obvious.

Yep, just a set of antiquated laws that punish people for using their bodies as they see fit. Worst part is that they do the exact opposite of what they are supposed to do, which is to keep citizens safe(ideally).

I'm glad people are slowly coming around to the idea that victimless crimes should not be a thing, whether prostitution or drug crimes. It saddens me that there were millions of lives ruined in the process, but that can be said for so many puritanical rules that all countries still have in place.

Copyright trolling cost me a fairly successful blog my wife ran. The ads paid out more than hosting cost! She had shared an image from a girl who took the photo with permission, but then that girl sold the photo to a copyright troll who then sent a demand letter. Either pay a yearly license of $1750 and a back-pay for the 4 years it had been hosted, or get sued. I retained a lawyer to prepare for lawsuit because we were given permission by the author to use the photo, had email proof. But after a few months of back and forth, we ran out of money to keep fighting and had the lawyer negotiate just killing the site.

SB is an interesting design, but more of a statement from MS "that we can."

The prime majority of laptops of the market don't come with original engineering. It's almost always outsourced to no-name Taiwanese engineering shops, which largely copy-paste designs for internals, and mechanical engineering for every brand around.

SB simply doesn't look to me it went through any of such design shops, and the engineering school feels very American (it's "one and done" assembly, they tried very hard to use less fasteners, and subassemblies.)

At the same time they repeated the same mistakes that Taiwanese had 20-15 years ago.
Hyakujo, the Chinese Zen master, used to labor with his pupils even at the age of eighty, trimming the gardens, cleaning the grounds, and pruning the trees.
The pupils felt sorry to see the old teacher working so hard, but they knew he would not listen to their advice to stop, so they hid away his tools.
That day the master did not eat. The next day he did not eat, nor the next. “He may be angry because we have hidden his tools,” the pupils surmised. “We had better put them back.”
The day they did, the teacher worked and ate the same as before. In the evening he instructed them: “No work, no food.”

The best thing about Google is that if you're on a website - say a travel website looking at hotels in Thailand - and then you Google "USD" it automatically completes "USD to Thai Baht" and then just gives you the answer very user friendly automatically. The same is true if you'd search "Best p" - you get "Best places to visit in Thailand" immediately, with a bunch of cards that are easy to read and use and get to more relevant things you're looking for.

Sure - this invades your privacy. But it leads to good results and a better experience.

You really don't want to give up your privacy in exchange for nothing. But this doesn't feel like the case here.

It's also just as good for location things. If I'm in different neighborhoods - I can type one letter in - and Google will pop up the right restaurant - and then in one or two clicks I can make an order.
