What mentality? I did not say it would be worth the price, just that there are things to gain from it.

I did notice nobody outright challenged the actual claim (except for the Facebook comment that touched the topic).
Yes, but most of those were made by slave labor. The drop off in state capacity also made it impossible for the state to afford large armies for war, which further improved the quality of life for the average citizen.

The focus on the decline of public works and art is fundamentally an elite view, since they were never coerced to labor for them or die in the fields protecting the empire. For the common man the empire was much worse, but the common man doesn’t write the history books.

> not having any friends

Not having any friends is unlikely. But if their friends are connecting and coördinating on their phones, the odd one out will be at a disadvantage. Depending on how close they are, this could be resolved by them finding a workaround as a group. (For example, buying a prepaid smartphone.)
> While it is true that poorly coded Kernel extensions can make an OS unstable, this is just another example of Apple taking away more control from its users and further crippling macOS to make it more like ios.

It isn't. They are making it (very) less likely for average simpleton users like myself to expose or fuck up their system.

And for the more elite hackers such as yourself who absolutely want to load third party kernel extensions, they require you to disable SIP. The knowledge and work it takes to do that is a very nice "I hereby declare I know what I'm doing and I alone bear the responsibility if things go wrong" entry barrier.
I know, but surely they had to consider the possibility. There’s no mention of it in this article or the car’s Wikipedia article.
Although clearly the real problem here is that "my list" isn't a clear enough description to show you manually control it (but I don't have a better suggestion).

That's the hard part about designing software for anyone - there is no average user & you can't really make assumptions about their understanding of your system. After all, I think the intention of "My list" is clear and fairly obvious, so that makes 3 people with 3 different ideas about the feature.

> Wikipedia says the President is the "head of state" and the Prime minister is the "head of government"

I grew up in the USA and this is exactly how those terms were defined for us in school.

The head of state is the leader of the country. They deal with other heads of states, and typically are in control of the military.

The head of government is the top bureaucrat. They do governmenty bureaucratty stuff like meet with their cabinet and manage the executive branch.
Exactly: as a politician myself, it is extremely common for me to be frantically adjusting the notes on my phone for what I intend to say based on what I am hearing other people say and what I am finding online or quickly fact checking with my various connections. (And also: I am more than capable of zoning out without a phone, thank you very much ;P.)

"Cars wait patiently as a Jumbo taxies on the runway"

The photo caption under a photo of what is clearly some sort of regional narrow-body.
It's the next stage of capitalist indoctrination. As a society, we aim to turn our children into consumers as quickly as possible.

We advertise sugary, fatty, fast food to them on the TV shows they watch. We get them addicted early to the dopamine hit of a the next big toy, an obsession which carries through to high tech gadgets and cars in adulthood. My local grocery store even has a tiny child-sized shopping cart with a flag on it that says "Future Customer in Training", so kids can mimic their parents as they consume.

In that context, debit cards for kids are a logical next-step. As soon as they hit 18 and can earn an income, now companies will have a nice fat history of buying habits and consumer behavior for these kids that makes them easily targetable.

>They are clearly not using the ratings based automatic recommendations any more. It's not even relevant given the limited and generally low-quality content available. It's just about keeping enough people paying.

For those of us old enough to remember, it's not much different than going to Blockbuster. All of the new releases were along the walls with lots of copies to support the high demand. That's where everyone started when entering the store. If you found what you wanted, you grabbed a copy and left. In the middle of the store, the shelves were full of stuff you'd never heard of with one, maybe two, copies available. Both of those copies were covered in dust. You'd see people doing the physical version of endlessly scrolling to ultimately settle on "something" just to not be scrolling any more.

Really, the only difference now is at least you don't have drive somewhere to do the scrolling. I'd also say that there's at least the advantage of being able to do it in your PJs, but Blockbuster (any video rental place really) was the first public place that I noticed it became acceptable to not have to get dressed to visit.
That doesn't make any sense. There's WAY more money in commercial satellite internet than there is with niche US military contracts.

I don't understand why people are so committed to assuming there's a nefarious "real motivation" behind Starlink. Global telecomms is on the order of $2 trillion in revenue per year and growing. The US military's GPS budget is about $1.5 billion. So we're talking about addressable markets 3 orders of magnitude different in size.
You can definitely make snapshots on APFS. It also use checksums for filesystem integrity.

I mostly use CROSS JOIN when I need "one of every combination".

Suppose we have a log of events, and each event has a user, a date, and an event action associated with it. Now I want to transform this log into a tabulation, where I have one record for each combination of user, date, and action type with an associated count. I can do something like:

WITH tabulation AS (
SELECT
user,
action,
date,
COUNT(*) AS num_events
FROM events
GROUP BY
user,
action,
date
),
combinations AS (
SELECT
users.user,
actions.action,
dates.date
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT user FROM tabulation) users
CROSS JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT action FROM tabulation) actions
CROSS JOIN UNNEST(
SEQUENCE(
(SELECT MIN(date) FROM tabulation),
(SELECT MAX(date) FROM tabulation)
)
) AS dates(date)
)
SELECT
user,
action,
date,
COALESCE(num_events, 0) AS num_events
FROM combinations
LEFT JOIN tabulation USING (user, action, date)

Better than a ban would be to make public whatever the politician is looking at on the phone during a public meeting, in real time. If it is private or secret they can simply not look at it during the meeting.

Of course politicians in meetings like these would be the ones to vote on such a proposal, so don't bet on it.
Is it that shocking? I can count the number of times I used cash in the last 2 years on one hand thanks to covid. Everywhere that was a hold-out was forced adopt the "tap" cards. By the time I have kids and they grow up enough to start having an allowance will be 10 years from now and I don't think we'll be using cash more than now. The people making these apps obviously see that trend too.
Well, don't know how to respond.

As an inveterate vim user, I jumped to neovim in hopes of a leaner, meaner and faster editor with an easier configuration process ( i don't like vimscript as compared to emacs lisp).
After 5 years, neovim has hit a lot of milestones and I see it going places, yet the only thing that still attracts me to it is the energy and enthusiasm of the community.

I still don't fancy learning an entirely new language to configure my editor, but that's the fun part! ymmv I guess.
> The prices in the US and Canada are ridiculous from that perspective.

The prices in the US aren't actually a serious problem any longer (they were if you go back 10 years, before T-Mobile's climb changed the market). Americans can trivially afford it given their disposable incomes at the median are among the highest on the planet. US plan prices have declined over the past ten years in nominal terms, while inflation has eroded another 30% of the price. $50-$60 is a nearly meaningless part of the average person's monthly budget in the US now (the median full-time income is $50,000, and Americans have low taxes at the median, which is where the high disposable incomes come from). Nobody is better at wasting money than Americans, they're thrilled to do it, you can tell judging by how they so willingly vaporize their disposable income on consumer garbage. And US plans typically have plenty of data with them these days, whereas Canada gets the worst of both outcomes (terrible data packages and very high prices).

People come on HN and say things like: well I'm in Latvia and I pay €12 and get unlimited data. Well yeah, adjust that to the US and it's €48 (~$56). Now you've got a T-Mobile plan in the US at that price, so what. Or someone will say I'm in Britain and I pay £25; yeah that's not cheap either, that's about $50x when you adjust it to the US for USD and incomes.
But they do not plan to move their own out, which is the point. That would require significant rearchitecture.

cross joins create data (facts) that dont exist in real life

you will probably never use them, except in rare cases for example

return employee sales by products, show 0 if no sales
in a normal db, you will only have records for products with sales above 0

you will need a cross join to join every employee with all products even those with no sales

and full outer join will not work, because it will only return products with some sales for at least one employee

only a cross join will return all products

i will do this in two steps
1 cross join emp and product
left join the result from 1 to product sales
replace nulls with 0

rare case, stupid case too
I wish there’d be more initiatives to make roads “legible” by self-driving cars: distinctive computer-readable markings, machine-readable codes on signs, etc.
I will give you three reasons why it will happen:

- ChromeOS

- Project Fugu

- Microsoft collaboration regarding Chrome and PWA adoption
I think the reason of security is a bit fishy too. I've never heard of wide-spread exploits from kernel extensions before.

Seems they just want to lock it down to squash developers making kernel level features for mac...

I'm sure someone will find a back door to allow extensions somehow, but we can't keep fighting forever :(
>your argument does not seem to be made in good faith

I'm not exactly sure what this means. I used to be all for total privacy, but I found that future to not be sustainable. Perhaps I'm just jaded, but privacy just gets in the way.

>This whole thread is about surveillance based advertising being bad.

Well this part of the thread isn't. It's talking about how surveillance improves services by allowing them to deal with abuse.

>In no way is using an IP address in a firewall a form of surveillance. It isn't. The IP address isn't being associated with any other data, it's just some numbers floating in space, disconnected from any human being.

Wrong. I am using your IP as part of a scheme to fingerprint you. I want my rate limit to limit each person separately. An IP address is just a somewhat decent way to approximate that.

>The idea of Proof of Work CAPTCHAs is that you can actually make it more expensive for an attacker to solve those than it would be for the attacker to solve Google CAPTCHAs.

Compared to x nm VLSI, TTL and ECL are ridiculously low density. And soooo sloooow.

DEC were very pleased with themselves when they got to ~40VUPs in the later ECL models, but a full modern VLSI - not FPGA - implementation wouldn't break a sweat at 1000VUPs.
I'm having a hard time interpreting that because I don't know enough about the Affordable Care Act. Is this making an apples-to-apples comparison? Are Silver ACA plans roughly comparable in terms of quality of coverage?

One anecdotal experience in this area for me is that my employer recently switched health insurance companies on us. On paper, the new plan is equivalent to the old plan, but appreciably less expensive. In reality, I would gladly pay even more than the old plan cost, just to go back to it. And probably save money (certainly be able to hold onto my hair color a bit longer) in the process.

> It is kind of hard to implement a mikrokernel without any kind of drivers on the kernel.

Well, that is kinda the point of a microkernel (or at least one of the points).

Sure, you're not going to have a kernel whatsoever without say an CPU/MMU driver in the same address space. Maybe a driver for the timer.

But when you have graphics, sound, storage, USB controllers, filesystems, networking and most of a BSD kernel (providing all the syscalls) in the same address space, now that is not a microkernel by any definition of the word.

XNU is called an "hybrid" kernel in part because in the original design the BSD parts implementing most of the actual system could have been spun off as a separate process (similar to Windows NT's original design), which would have been an actual microkernel, but in practice they were just stuck together in the same process, making it a monolithic kernel in all but name (just like in Windows).

> So, then it becomes a balancing act how many are allowed the priviledge to be part of the main act.

Yes.

The problem is with the match of partial virtual profiles with individual-specific identities.

That A is Adrian Oberweller of Tamaxa, MT and his individual-specific identity is associated with his private concerns, that is "you must be joking" swinging at the edge between dystopia and ridiculous.

a lot of iPhone apps also try to collect information from the environment they are running in to try and fingerprint a user. this can be used to track a user even when the apps do not share keychain access. this article on nshipster has a good summary of the technique: https://nshipster.com/device-identifiers/

i've seen extremely high quality fingerprinting being used by some apps and they are going to extreme lengths to hide the collection of this data from apple or other interested parties. over 48 bits of entropy being recorded which should uniquely identify users.
