>22% failed to have cameras on for "use of force" incidents

IMO that's a an oversimplification compared to what the report actually says[1]. The 22% number isn't how common it was for officers to not have their cameras on, it was how common it was for officers to have cameras that were off OR the camera was on but they were late in hitting the record button[2]. Situations where the officer just straight up didn't record were more rare (that happened 3.7% of the time and if you exclude one instance that was considered justified it's only 3.2%).

Funnily enough, LAPD is the department whose data I was tabulating (over a slightly different time period than this study). I think there's 2 main discrepancies between my numbers and the OIG report: I only counted if at least one officer present had body cam footage, not if every officer had body cam footage. Also, I still counted it if the footage of the shooting/use of force was in the 2 minute buffer.

[2]: Keep in mind that just because they were late to hit the record button doesn't mean the shooting wasn't captured on camera. If an officer talks to witness to ask where a suspect went, radios for help, activates the camera, finds the suspect and then a shooting occurs, they'd be considered non-compliant (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDThHbrtQE4&t=355s). And even if the officer doesn't activate the camera until after a shooting, it'll still be captured in the 2 minute buffer (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT4Ss6ASOrE&t=3m30s)
> That's the hard part for all of this: if you are building an unlock mechanism the first question you need to ask is how you build a UI which clearly communicates to a user that they are likely giving control of all of their data, location/camera/microphone, etc. to whatever they're installing.

Nah, thats a win2k era cop-out. The hard part is balancing secure by default and granting privs only when absolutely necessary (and authenticated)
You’re talking as if the W3C or even Mozilla don’t exist. This isn’t an Apple vs Google thing. This is an Apple vs web standards thing. That’s why Safari is outdated for developers.

Reddit is a multi billion dollar product and one of the most trafficked sites on the internet.

And traditional carmakers are also (except for GM) still getting the advantage of federal EV credits, unlike Tesla.
"Big pockets" isn't really true in this aspect. Part of the problem with the automotive chip crisis is that car companies are stingy customers and treat their suppliers badly, with insane contracts. So when production was stopped, they cancelled orders. When they restarted production, not having any stock, suppliers gave them the middle finger because they had other less stingy customers to serve.

Automotive is influential, but all their suppliers hate them with a passion.

I hope the lack of background sync stays as a #wontfix, because I view it as a feature.
Even at first thought, it makes sense why the IDF would be well equipped for such a mission, given all the turmoil in the Middle East(mentioned in the article), they have much more experience in this situation. I can't imagine all the horror that those volunteers may have seen through their lifetimes, and they find a way to use that experience to help others thousands of miles away.

I can imagine that for a typical volunteer, pulling body parts out of rubble would be a fairly life changing event, and the number of people in the world with the experience and grit to tackle this gracefully can't be a long list.
I remember when I was coding form verification and couldn't rely on the HTML5 form validation because Safari, and only Safari, had no user UI to signal errors. (weirdly enough they had the JavaScript API for it... they just couldn't be bothered to show anything to the user)
The counterfactual is "if I had flipped the switch, the lights would be on." That is a situation with changed facts, and therefore counterfactual. The tricky bit is the causality. We have to construct an alternate history, with a counterfactual cause and a counterfactual result. And we can't actually know that. Maybe the bulb is burnt out. Maybe there's a power outage just now. Maybe we've blown a fuse. The causality is just conjecture.

Now consider the opposite. The lights are off because the bulb burnt out. That's a lot less ambiguous. If you want to doubt the causality you've got to get all mystical.
Actually, pretty sure it's only one reason, money.

If they made Safari on iOS actually good (re: PWA notification support), it would burn into their App store profits.
> Progressive web apps

I don't want PWAs. Apparently Google is their biggest promoter and Chrome has the best PWA support but the apps still stuck. I prefer to leave them open in a Chrome tab than have it pop out and pretend to be a native app. So good on Safari to not support it properly, it does not provide any benefit at all.

> Lagging support for WebRTC and other features

Again, I don't care. Just write a native app if you want to do video/audio calls, or send/receive files. The worst native app for these purposes is better than the best WebRTC implementation.

> Bug and infrequent updates

All software has bugs. When Chrome has one, webdevs are forced to hack up a workaround. When Safari has one, they complain.

Please leave safari alone. It is very good as it is. We don't need any more newfangled web "standards" which are mostly pushed by Google so that they can justify not writing native apps for any of their products. Enough is enough Google, just write apps for the platforms you want to sell on.
Aside: If you have a Mac and complain about your computer overheating or fans spinning up constantly / “while doing light browsing”: start using Safari for anything video/audio encoding/decoding related, like streaming music and video, or just in general, especially for longer battery life.

It helps immensely with no noticeable loss in performance. My fans no longer spin up watching a video on YouTube or DRM protected content from a streaming service, and the computer isn’t hot to the touch either.
And my phone's battery life appreciates that.
There is less of a liquidation risk regarding tether precisely because the major lending protocols (Maker, AAVE, Compound) do not let you use tether as collateral. You can deposit it to lend to others. And borrow it against other assets. But you cannot directly borrow against USDT as collateral.
I've been in crypto for a while and never met anyone who likes Tether, it seems to be novices that use it that don't know any better. I don't know why anyone would use it over a decentralized stablecoin like DAI.

https://www.theregister.com/2021/06/16/apple_safari_indexedd... this bug is still not fixed, which is kind of nuts. Well, they said they fixed it in dev but have not actually deployed the fix yet and won't comment on when that might happen.
There isn't any evidence at this point and it could go either way. Though if I had to place a bet, I wouldn't bet against Intel as they will likely have an influx of business/R&D funding from the U.S. govt as well as favorable policies/legislation to help ensure the outcome. In other words, it is Intel's to lose.

Backdooring the modem firmware is far more useful, and reliable. Not to mention undetectable -- not only is the user unable to recompile or replace this firmware, they can't even get a checksum of it. Qualcomm's modem chips get their own private NAND flash that they can use as they please.
Why do they continue to degrade the mobile/desktop default web experience? Promoting the app is one thing, but then actively harming the user experience? Do most people not care? Insane either way. The day old.reddit dies Ill blacklist the site permanently.

This has been my experience over the past several years as well. My particular issues have been with the Canvas element and with SVG support (which is insanely buggy - even the dev tools are bugged) but there are also occasional layout issues.

I definitely feel like comparisons to IE are apt.
I honestly don't think there's enough similarity there to be considered any sort of trademark infringement. I think if Ansible tried to test that in court they'd likely get shut down pretty quickly. Just for starters, even if you mirror the A like you say, they're not the same font when overlaid for direct comparison. There's also the difference between an A in a black circle and four letters (APSE) side by side in a black rectangle. No judge in their right mind would see any sort of trademark infringement between those two logos.

If you've ever used their mobile site, it's clear they go out of their way to sabotage the experience so that people will use the native app instead
The Olympics are the monopoly. They are the ones who auction off U.S. television rights to a single entity. NBC is simply the company which won that auction.

I'm curious what you think NBC is doing wrong here. Should they call up CBS and offer to share the coverage that it just spent hundreds of millions for? Should it invite randos to Tokyo with their iPhones to stream the games on Twitch? Should it just make the entire Olympics pay-per-view?

As always, if you don't like it, start your own world-wide athletic contest.
You’re talking as if it’s an either/or situation. For a company the size of Apple it definitely isn’t. They could fix long-standing bugs, implement web standards others have had for years and improve security, privacy and battery life. They just don’t.

Perhaps in theory, but USD has proven to be a far less volatile store of value than Bitcoin and Etherium, which have both been through the equivalent of hyperinflation and hyperdeflation over the past decade.

> Subject to censorship.

Currency is not subject to censorship, such a thing would be impossible. Certain payment providers have refused to process payments to various individuals, but such a thing would be possible in the crypto space as well.

If possible, it has happened, or are we saying there is no future state yet?

In what way can PWAs be abused?
The quote is 'In all, the Israeli team found about 84% of the nearly 100 victims.' and the realization that they might mean that they found 84% of the body parts vs 84% of the people.
It can be both. Caring about the user experience is obviously going to increase their profit. But then they can also try to push people towards their store.
Broken HTML+CSS in Safari? Examples?

I started using Safari as my daily driver because I use all apple devices and I like extending my battery life. Before deciding that, I did stints with Firefox and Brave, both of whom had poor sync'ing.

I can't remember the last time a site had broken HTML/CSS with Safari. My impression is the desire to have good mobile support keeps Safari support alive.

I think I encountered more broken CSS when I was using Firefox.
>1) False positives lead to under reaction. This is the "boy who cried wolf" issue.

Alert fatigue is a big problem for any alerting system, but here the baseline is 911 reports. If they receive a 911 report for a shooting, they're going to arrive after the report. If they receive a ShotSpotter alert before a 911 report for the same incident, then they're probably going to arrive as soon or sooner than they would have otherwise. If they receive an alert but don't receive a 911 report, then any response time will be faster than no response.

Not sure if these are backed by data, but there are many quotes of law enforcement saying response times are decreased. I could paste a bunch of quotes but I know it doesn't really mean much.

This study used "gunshot victim prehospital time" as a proxy; arguably a more important proxy:

>Use of ShotSpotter detection technology decreases prehospital time for patients sustaining gunshot wounds - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31425474/

Some other studies indeed found it did not seem to decrease response time, though.

Another factor is that it tries to precisely locate the source of the shot. It's hard for humans to infer the location and direction of a supersonic bullet's source if they're going just by hearing and didn't see the incident, while in theory an automated system could determine it more accurately. I don't know how helpful this is empirically, though.

So you may be right. I think most of the value probably comes from cases where they otherwise wouldn't have received a 911 report, or only would have received one much later.

> Don’t get me wrong, Safari is very good web browser, delivering fast performance and solid privacy features.

OP indicates Safari prioritizes speed and privacy. Speed and privacy are often in conflict with the proliferation of features and web APIs that you see in chrome (web MIDI fingerprinting anyone?). I'm not sure it's fair to equate this difference in focus to 'the new internet explorer'

I started playing Badminton after day is over and it is helping me a lot.
Okay I hadn't thought of that :)

I guess even after all this time using these functions I'm still not entirely comfortable with the lazyness. I think a more explicit method in Clojure is to use `eduction` (if I'm not misunderstanding!)
https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/eduction

This allows you to be more explicit and say you want to chain these transducers together.

The lazy variant makes it more difficult to reason about performance (and this being a "math" language - that seems a priority) b/c you need to read the tea leaves to see where the sequence gets realized. It really requires a gear shift in reasoning about your code b/c you need to think "okay, I'm writing this huge reduction, but I don't care about its size b/c it won't all get realized b/c I did this other thing later on". My gut feeling is it's a bit hard to keep track of everything :) But I'd be curious to hear an alternative..

I remember writing some math code and finding it was really challenging to get the lazy operations to chain together well. It was over a year ago, so the details are a bit hazy.. but I needed it to run down an array of numbers and do some operations and this lazy method ended up being incredibly slow. Unfortunately I don't remember the ultimate cause, but I'm guessing it thrashed the cache. It could also just be a limitation in Clojure internals when it comes to compositing lazy seq's - but again, I'm not quite sure.

The reason I modeled an 8 hour charge is because this would be what most people would have available after they get home from work.

I modeled a rolling scenario where 1/8 of the fleet starts charging every two hours. It isn’t a perfect model, of course. The intent was to simulate both time zones and people coming home from work at different times.

If we accept the above and add the idea that people will charge at work for an additional eight hours, for a total of 16, then power requirement is cut in half. This would still require a massive increase in power generation and delivery capacity.

And then, of course, there’s a percentage of the population that will need to charge fast. That means half an hour.

The problem is power. Energy can be delivered over time, power is instantaneous. We don’t have enough power.

While I agree that entrepreneurs often find a way, we still haven’t come up with a way to violate the rules of physics. That’s a hard limit.
Apple is telling developers to make an app, because then Apple gets to steal the customer relationship and take 30%.

They prevent other browser engines and run times to yield total platform control. They shut down any attempt to gain a foothold or alternative.

Let me tell you an anecdote from history,

Microsoft attempted to control the entire web platform. They embedded their browser into Windows, rapidly introduced non-standard features, had authorship tools (FrontPage), publishing (IIS), and were trying to force ActiveX and other tendrils to gain a complete dominance.

They might not get in on every customer interaction or payment (who would have dared to dream?), but they would own 90% of the platform and exercise their control to profit massively.

But they were distracted, shut down by the DOJ, and ultimately failed. Today we celebrate this.

Apple dreamed a different dream. Instead of getting every smart phone customer, they'd enforce total commercial control of their platform and then gradually increase the size of their pie.

Apps, subscriptions, movies, music, Apple Pay, Apple login, no outside payment, no runtimes, no alternative distribution...

It worked like a charm.

Apple has an ecosystem that plays well together, services that are compelling, and people love it. Half of Americans use an iPhone, and many use it as their only device.

The unfortunate problem is that by growing their pie so big, Apple crowds out the entire computing industry that gave rise to their capabilities. Half of everything we do now has an Apple tax.

Apple was crafty and played nice just long enough to build a wall around their customers. And now you'll never reach them without being taxed. And they have so many customers...

Apple customers. The most locked in of all, and Zuckerberg is steaming with jealousy.

Apple owns computing. Half of it, anyway. And they won't dare let it out of the box.

The DOJ breaking this regime is our only hope. That, or a new tech cycle that might (but probably won't) upset the incumbents.
This is great:

"“Given our portfolio composition in commercial paper, we believe that it is quite important to respect the privacy of the banking partners that we work with.” That’s not a thing! That’s not a thing at all! Every money-market fund just lists all of its holdings, by size and issuer and CUSIP! Tether has broken new ground in the concept of commercial-paper privacy rights!"

...

"Tether has traded between $0.9996 and $1.0009 over the last seven days, including during yesterday’s interview. That’s a pretty tight range given that, you know, anyone can watch the interview."
You must be halfway intelligent!

With regards to PWAs, I’m curious:

Say I’m FunCorp and have two apps, FunTrack and FunRate. FunCorp doesn’t believe in native apps, or App Store at all.

Could FunCorp submit a single dummy app, FunStuff in the App Store that allow FunTrack and FunRate native functionality without the App Store?

E.g if you install FunStuff it’ll have some dumb functionality like be a calculator but also send you native notifications of FunTrack and FunRate which are web apps.

I imagine not but if so I’m surprised it’s not done more

Speaking about Safari bugs I got concerned with lately: you cannot use Content-Security-Policy if you use web sockets with Safari: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201591

I don’t understand why this doesn’t get more attention.

It is just infuriating if you can’t use a security feature, just because some browser doesn’t follow the specs correctly. Oh well, time repeats itself just like with IE.

And just for a moment we thought we are behind all of this.
