Digital scarcity and sound money cannot be the same, as scarcity and money are at odds with each other.
Tesla owns EV charging. No other experience compares. What better ad for Tesla than pulling up to a supercharger in any other EV, watching Tesla owners watch Netflix on their car while charging insanely fast, and then watching them leave before you.

It's a smart move. Like releasing iTunes for Windows.
Europe is not a country. Or do you mean all countries in the EU have a 10% tariff?
Disagree. Things that start as "optional opt-in toggles" can eventually become quasi-mandatory, for example if you're a student, employee, or citizen, and your school, workplace, or government creates an app that needs this.

In 2020, lots of universities required students to install fairly invasive stuff on their computers for remote learning, but -- thanks in large part to Apple's policies -- their phones remained pretty much untouched.
Thank you. I have no idea what these people are talking about. They obviously didn't actually do development back then.

> Apple took years to finally add WebRTC support to Safari, far enough behind Chrome and Firefox that it practically became a running joke among developers and even industry observers.

Really? Because no one I know uses WebRTC and would rather use ffmpeg and sockets to do serious work like that over a desktop application.

> But at the same time, the lack of support for key web technologies and APIs has been both perplexing and annoying at the same time.

Yeah, what we all need is Web Bluetooth.

@dang, would be nice to add the year (2015?) to the title.
It would also be interesting to see how many millions of taxpayer dollars the DOE labs have funneled to Mathworks, and whether Mathworks could survive should DOE decide to investigate cheaper solutions.
I have <div> elements with background-image assigned via CSS. Those divs require different CSS settings to get the height to layout correctly that FF/Chrome do not need.

Those same divs have border-radius applied, and are nested in another div with overflow:hidden. In FF/Chrome, the image scales as one would expect. In desktop Safari, during the CSS transition, the border radius of the overflowing element goes away and the element with the scale suddenly has square corners outside of the overflow. Once the transition ends, the corners disappear again.

This is on the Safari Technology Preview version
It’s really unfair to suggest that people with disabilities shouldn’t be eligible for education. God forbid you or someone you love becomes disabled.
Average car drives 12500 miles a year. Or about 35 miles a day. Typical electric passenger car gets 3-4 miles per kwh, call it 3.5 miles/kwh

That's an average of 10 kwh/day per car.

275 million cars X 10 kwh/day --> 2.75X10^12 wh/day.
Per hour, 1.146X10^11 wh/hour --> 114.6 gigawatts.

Needing 115 GW extra generation capacity doesn't seem insane. Air conditioners in the US probably use 200 GW.
I don't disagree that self-reported happiness may be meaningless, but I strongly disagree with any implication that experts have some reference point to evaluate objective truth about mental states.

Psychiatric drugs are developed by surveying how patients feel. If there was some source of objective truth, based on understanding the mechanisms behind illness and medications, they'd use that.

Common sense tells you people are complex and unreliable, but that difficulty doesn't give experts a crystal ball to replace self-reporting.
I feel like Web USB and Web MIDI always come up in conversations like these and I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that cares too deeply about either. Don’t get me wrong, I know there’s a market for them, but in the context of this conversation they just feel like diversions.

When I talk about Apple dedicating resources to Safari I mean that IndexedDB was broken for years. And was broken again just last month:

https://www.theregister.com/2021/06/16/apple_safari_indexedd...

This isn’t engineering that priotisises battery life. This is flat out neglect. Aren’t there unit tests for these kind of things pre-release?

I don’t want to be able to interface with a MIDI keyboard on my site, I just want to be able to store data reliably.
Meditation is the best way to calm your mind but few people have enough discipline to do it everyday and learn how to control their thoughts. A great alternative is to focus on a hobby that makes your mind focus on the hobby and the hobby only. Painting, gardening, croshe, photography and chess? A hobby is a great way to slow down and get away from the stress of life. Your goal is to immerse yourself in the details of the hobby but not to compete to be the best. A hobby is to relax the mind. As a programer, I wished I would have known this before. It was difficult for me to let go of programming problems so my mind was always active trying to figure out that day's problem. It sucked.
That's a restriction placed by Amazon itself. They could remove it tomorrow if they wanted to, and doing so would be a lot easier than creating their own currency.
Yes - phosphenes can be caused by cosmic rays and other sufficiently energetic sources. Astronauts see such sparkles when they're not shielded. And such cosmic ray interactions are a mutagenic factor in changes to DNA, resulting in cancer and evolution.
If you live in a surveillance state, Apple is happy to hand over the keys (so long as the market is big enough).
LOL sorry, I was just going off your comment:

> There are, apparently no super-chargers between Cincinnati and Indianapolis
high inflation countries have low credit. Argentina hasn't had private mortgages in decades (minus a little summer).
It was dead when I mentioned it in a different discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27949787) that may have brought a critical mass here.
Sounds like waterfall, but with tests, instead of documentation.
If your users sincerely have a pain point and think you can solve it, they will usually be happy to give you lots of input and feedback. This requires two things- intending to solve a real problem that users care about and being credible. You can increase the second aspect by communicating with and listening to your core and ideal customers, and getting to know not only if the problem matters, but what they care about in the context of that problem. There's a maxim that the value of your product is what your customers think it's worth. Learning from them why they care will increase your chances of building strong early relationships.

Mechanically, regular communication that offers value via email, plus actual conversations that are informational not sales-y.

From being the person doing this at both B2B and B2C companies in early stage.
On paper, there are some great Tesla competitors. For most people and their use cases, Tesla wins. Commuting? Autopilot is the best driver assistance. Road trips? Meet the supercharger network. Racing? $56k for an absolute track machine. Double that for a literal hyper-sedan.

I can see other manufacturers gaining market share, and I think Tesla will eventually fall into the niche that Apple occupies for phones—not necessarily better on paper, but much better design and execution.
> iTunes for Windows

Sounds like we've had vastly different experiences with this piece of software
Oh for sure, I started out doing molecular biology so I dealt with missing methodology details all the time there - certainly some things make sense to leave out, but there were also cases where it took trial and error to replicate because details on intermediate steps were left out.

That is what it is, but in the case of theory I think the alternative proofs could actually be really educational. The exact details of a biology technique (and hyperparameter searching type stuff for that matter) don't have the same inherent interest to me.
Yeah. You are right. The EU imposes a tariff.
Oh wow, their marketing pages are very misleading. They list the best stats for each model, but no model exists that has that combo of stats.
From the perspective of a goods importer, the EU is effectively one country.
You will likely never have Apple support functionality behind a PWA flag other than cosmetic things, because it is still the same overall security model - one of dynamically-updated web content without any third party auditor or enforcement against abuse.

Thats not to say they shouldn't support additional web functionality for everyone, just that "Add to Home Screen" is likely never going to unlock additional native hardware capabilities or exclusive background processing modes.

This is also why every browser implements web extensions via a store model. The store model allows the browser to serve as a port for auditing and revocation on abuse, because that is what the capabilities of web extensions require.
Reading about "pidfds" makes me wish CloudABI fully became a thing.

This is a kind of writing I think of as Silicon Valley mythos - in it, a plucky entrepreneur, a lucky angel investor and a hacker get together, and fail their way into an IPO. At the end they tell the reader he just needs to believe in himself more, and the SV myth will come true for him.

There’s a lot of hate in the comments here, but I am personally more equivocal - it is definitely true that absolutely no centimillion or billion dollar companies get founded by people that refuse to found companies. And, I think the real moral of the story - persist and get lucky with a good team and a good market angle at the right time - is a very potent moral.

But, I prefer the grittier SV myth stories a-la Ben Horowitz which mention all the times you’re vomiting in your bathroom worried about making payroll and fighting with your co-founders while your spouse is like “so, about that day job..” - I’m not sure there’s any company that gets truly valuable without some very difficult times.
I am pretty sure it does not mean that you get a price that’s “far” worse. You would need to quantify such a claim — a number I see from the SEC comes down to $1 per user (as a _lower_ bound on total extra cost, weakening my argument).

I’m not a day trader — almost all my money is in long term held stocks and crypto — so margin interest rate is all that matters. (For options, I don’t think I suffered any execution issues, because it almost always has involved a limit order in a low volume option.)
Safari is still the best mobile web browser in terms of performance and usability, and I'm using Firefox on Android, it's great, but Safari is the fastest.
> This is true only if the school administrators are cowards. The law doesn't say...

It doesn't matter what the law says.

"Autism-spectrum student sues [college] for discrimination" is a bad headline, even if the school was 100% justified.

It's also expensive to fight in court.

> School administrators being afraid to do anything involving someone like this is cowardice that we shouldn't excuse.

It's more an issue with the massive and insane costs of litigation.

> I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know the laws for a classroom situation, but in a workplace I think you'd have grounds to sue.

Workplaces have different protections than classrooms do.

Also, no one is saying the other students can't sue the student who's on the spectrum. But it's not something the university is likely to push themselves.
The EU is a customs union. Import tariffs are set by the EU, not by individual member countries.

The 10% import tariff applies to vehicle imports from countries that do not have a free trade agreement with the EU, including the US and China.

Imports from countries such as South Korea (Hyundai, Kia) and Mexico (Ford) are exempt from the tariff thanks to bilateral FTAs. Japan also has an FTA which phases in over the next decade.
I now wonder if it could have been deliberate. If the goal is to create confusion and mistrust, that’s one interesting way of doing it.

It's funny how some of those things are just relative. I've been in a group at university where everyone else began a meeting by talking about the latest sports updates while I just waited. Nobody gave me any guidance on how to deal with sports fans as teammates. I've also been shouted at and sworn at by otherwise normal classmates. This stuff is usually treated as acceptable when the higher social status people approve of it and not acceptable when they don't.
> the Israeli one happens to be a division of the IDF, probably for budgetary reasons.

Given that Israel has mandatory military service, it may have something to do with allowing that service to count.
Right I have it, Vimeo paid just sucks no one watches it haha. I guess that's why you put it on a website or something that people already go to.
This is kind of irrelevant since you can pretty easily override everything about the XSS payload to make it look like a legitimate login page for the site you're looking for.

Depending on the nature of the site, it's possible it won't even stand out as odd even if it loads a login control at a non-"login" URL.
How did Mozilla lose interest? Firefox for Android supports PWAs. Firefox supports push notifications on both Android and desktop.
Signing a peittion earned me so spam one time that it helped motivate me to move my email from gmail.com to my own domain, so I'd say it's not useless.
Even then it's not really true. I'll grant there's a significant outlier of Indonesia, but after that it's places like China, Russia, and eastern Europe that lead the way.

I'm also not sure why you'd care whether it's men or women doing the smoking, given that the data shows that the risks are similar. If you correctly include the whole adult population, there are no "Muslim" countries other than Indonesia in the top 10. This is just a pejorative and it really needs to be quashed.

The top 10 is:
Kiribati,
Montenegro,
Greece,
Timor,
Nauru,
Indonesia,
Russia,
Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Serbia,
Chile

Oh, it wasn't good, but that was the point. You had to wrestle with your Window 7 laptop to get your songs onto your iPod, which Just Worked™. It gave users a peek into the walled garden.

Supercharging will obviously be a hassle for non-Tesla owners, but they'll sit there and watch people effortlessly using the system as it was meant to be used, and that will have an effect.
I use nb https://github.com/xwmx/nb for both bookmarks and notetaking. nb <link> downloads a copy of the link and stores it along with the bookmark.

All notes (and consequently bookmarks and their contents) are stored as plain-text markdown files - so there's no dependency on a proprietary format, and all the content becomes searchable.

If you're a vim-user, you can also get the notational-fzf-vim plugin (https://github.com/alok/notational-fzf-vim) and point it to the notes/bookmarks folder, and have full fuzzy search over all the content.
The resource control aspects of cgroups actually improve this situation, if you take advantage of them.

You'll still see that page fault thrashing but it becomes isolated to the cgroup experiencing the memory pressure. It doesn't bring down the entire system in my experience.
Similar to how javascript is a toggle, or how accepting third/first party cookies are toggles?

Because the web is mostly useless if any of those are turned off now - even easy cases like static forms commonly break with javascript off rather than degrading to just server-side validation.

I had to look up this hand-written resume thing, and I found this: https://blog.gaijinpot.com/write-japanese-resume/

Some gems:

> There are plenty of photo booths, not unlike the popular purikura, that specialize in taking photos just the right size for resumes… The booths can be found on the streets of business districts or at most major train and subway stations. In fact, many machines let you pay with your train pass.

> Unlike most western resumes, you don’t need to elaborate on the duties and requirements of all your previous jobs or try to explain how it is useful for the job you are seeking.

> you should write any accomplishments that you have achieved over the years such as licenses or certificates. This even includes a driver’s license. In a city like Tokyo many people do not drive, however, some “paper drivers” get a license anyway just to appear more impressive on their resume.

> The final major section is for desires, hopes, and dreams which obviously will include for you to talk about the kind of salary that you want.
Cool down Mr. Cook. We will buy your overpriced sweatshop artifacts.
I’m not predicting this, but if the Fed has to chase inflation by raising rates that would be very detrimental to housing prices.

Heard from a friends dad, he bought a 1.2 million house in the early 80’s. He had a $10,000 a month mortgage.

Can you imagine? Obviously early 80’s rates were incredibly high, but that’s what high interest rates can do to mortgage payments.
Whenever I see: ‘XYZ is hard’ on any product, I cannot help but universally say ‘That is tough’.

Let us not hide the thorns from this or pretend about any of this; like I keep seeing on projects ‘Written in Rust™’:

We need more of these detailed to the point, brutally honest un-safety audits of Rust crates to ensure more secure and high quality crates have minimal or ideally no major safety issues.

Otherwise, I could import this crate among the thousands of others and it risks compromising the safety of my application and the user. Oh dear.

I’m sure nobody wants that.

Prediction: The US would be unaffected by Covid 19 because we have plans and procedures in place to track and contain the spread, much in the same way we were spared Ebola

Unpleasant surprise: The leadership spent all its time deflecting blame and denying science, focusing on getting re-elected more than actually Governing. The resulting lies and distortions created a level of distrust that has resulted in an unconscionable level of death and suffering.

Prediction: I'd keep wearing masks long after I was required to do so.

Surprise: I can't believe how quickly I accepted the CDC statement that I no longer needed to wear a mask in most places. (We're all vaccinated)

Prediction: If I got infected, I'd die.

Surprise: I didn't die, it wasn't even that bad. But now I'm perpetually fatigued, a "new normal". (The 2 most dreaded words in health care)
>> u're literally quoting on an article where they moved the location of a sound by over a mile, and reclassified it from a firework to a gunshot. They tried to use this obviously falsified evidence to throw a man in jail, and had to withdraw the evidence once this was pointed out. Sure seems like an example of it not living up to what it was designed to do.

You're saying people took the data the shotspotter gave them, falsified it in a court of law in order to get a man falsely jailed?

Again, the technology did what it was supposed to do - notify when it detected a gun shot. The people tasked with analyzing the data are completely at fault here, not the technology which you are passionately claiming was at fault here.

>> Also, 86% of the time it detects a gunshot police find nothing.

Last month, for instance, a ShotSpotter detector directed officers to 82nd Street and Coles Avenue, where they found and rushed to the hospital Swaysee Rankin, a 15-year-old boy who had come to the aid of his 10-year-old friend when she was shot a block from the same location just six months earlier.

If that was your 10 year old child, how much is the technology worth to parents whose child was saved from it working properly? Can you put a price on your child's worth?

>> Ooookay? This is practically the definition of how the plurality of anecdote is not data.

If you're going to take a shot at me, maybe at least get your quotes right?

You may have heard the phrase the plural of anecdote is not data. It turns out that this is a misquote. The original aphorism, by the political scientist Ray Wolfinger, was just the opposite: The plural of anecdote is data.

Wolfinger’s formulation makes sense: Data does not have a virgin birth. It comes to us from somewhere. Someone set up a procedure to collect and record it. Sometimes this person is a scientist, but she also could be a journalist.

>> When it's being used to send armed representatives of the state to arrest and prosecute people? The difference is a lot of people arrested and prosecuted based on faulty evidence.

Ahhh yes, the real money quote is this one. They're not cops or police, or law enforcement, they are "armed representatives of the state" to you? This terminology says all I need to know about you - enough said comrade.

I’m sorry to be that guy, but the myth of bipolar people being super productive during mania needs to die and posts like yours reinforce it. Some bipolar type 2 people may be slightly more productive while hypomanic. For serious cases, mania is much, much more dangerous than depression and if someone tells you they’re manic you should rush them to the hospital, not give them more work.

how is it dishonest? the numbers are basically arbitrary anyway (the only metric even close to these figures is fin width, which is not really a metric of primary interest), and they've chosen to realign to numbers that more closely match comparable TSMC nodes and acknowledge that it doesn't really measure anything by dropping the 'nanometer'.
Yeah, and I have been thinking good job of them sucking from Zoom a la Autonomy or Qualtrics.
