That ended up requiring the ability to charge from a micro-B cable, even if it needed an adapter to the lightning, USB-C, or other proprietary port on the phone. Probably a good thing too, or else USB-C would have been dead in the water for phones.

It's not clear to me whether they simply want to update the regulation from micro-B to USB-C (which would require development of a lightning to female USB-C adapter, but would probably reduce the number of phones that still have micro-b ports), or whether they want to really mandate the port side this time.

There are about 30 different vaccines for COVID-19 around the world. Only the most "luxurious ones" such as Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca are nucleic acid vaccines which use mRNA or DNA.
It's a "superior" technology because it costs less and our own bodies do the work so to speak. Viruses or subunits of viruses don't have to be synthesized in a lab, so the challenges which come with that don't have to be dealt with.

I'm pretty sure that this is the future of vaccines anyway.

>>tomorrow it will be like Amazon fufillment centers in the Call Center no time to take a potty break

That's already two decades back.

I remember back when I started out in the 2000s. I worked at a call center here in Bangalore. The breaks were one 35 mins(lunch), three 15m breaks spread over the shift, which most people took to use rest rooms. Many times you need to call the floor manager, and they turn it down. You need to hold your rest room emergency until they let you go to the toilet for 15 minutes. You got penalised if you over shot the 15m rest room break.

They even had metrics like resolve rate, calls per day, escalation count, data collection metrics(if you made 3 mistakes entering the user email, you were fired) etc etc.

I had a few and then switched last time to a Nokia 6.1 which is simply brilliant (the industrial design for a cheap end of mid-range is amazing - as is the build quality).

If anything Nokia cocked up, they made a phone so good I haven't seen the need to upgrade and since it's AndroidOne I'm still getting updates.

I had to laugh at the clear piss take of the Jonny Ive Apple videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmJitfThItk at the time it got my attention and they are that tough.

> ... because the law is fucking dumb, and my rights matter more.

If they aren't _everybody's_ rights then they aren't really your rights either. They are at best a privilege, and at worst something you have just been able to get away with (so far).

> The law can ban E2EE, cryptocurrencies, and privacy, but so long as we have some degree of technical freedom we can and will give it the middle finger.

Sure, in that scenario techies can secretly give it the middle finger right up until the authoritarian government they idly watched grow notices them.

If someone is seriously concerned about that happening, they could always consider trying to divert the government away from such disaster by participating.

> When the governments of the world demand that Apple become an arm of the dystopia, Apple will comply, and its users will have no choice but to go along with it.

Government demands of this sort are normally referred to as legal and regulatory compliance. Corporations, which are a legal concept allowed by the government, generally have to conform to continue to exist.

> Apple, knowing that it is a private company completely and utterly incapable of resisting serious government demands (ie GCBD in China) should never have developed this capability to begin with.

IMHO, having some portion of a pre-existing capability doesn't matter when you aren't legally allowed to challenge the request or answer "no".
Sure, that criticism might apply generally and previously - but i don't think its applying all that much to covid vaccines.

I don't think it's strictly true, but I can make a case for how HR should shield certain things IT might collect from my boss.

In practice, companies only have humans look at IT use if there's a security problem or a performance problem.

Anyway I’m not going to seriously discuss with you because it’s clear from your post history that your replies are avalanches of pedantry.

Testing for color blindness and contrast is an area of accessibility where the tools are actually very good. Even the built-in tools in every browser will tell you about contrast levels. There are enough variations of color blindness and visual acuity problems that relying on manual testing probably won't catch much.

> I keep hearing this argument and I don't understand it. The entire world would know within about 30 minutes if Apple ever pushed some malware update that did an end run around security and started grabbing files off people's hard drives. I don't trust them, I know they don't do that - and we would know pretty quickly if they did.

Do you know this for certain about any vendor? If a company the size of Apple were pushing the same update to everybody, then it would likely be known about by the world pretty quickly. But... if a targeted signed update is sent to a handful of selected devices, that's harder for the world to find out about. It's risky, but it's definitely technically possible.

Facebook shuts down dumbfuck German research
Some years ago "universal" in EU was USB micro B. At that time, Apple had 30 pin.

Some years later, Apple changed to lightning. Some years after that, "universal" changed to USB-C.

They've both changed once.
Disclaimer: I work with this stuff and might be a little biased to certain vendor solutions.

A good CGNAT implementations have support for static blocks: the subscriber always ends up a a specific ipnumber+portblock combination. (Each subscriber is assigned a specific number of exit ports and this all just logged once during startup so you always know where each subscriber ends up).

Should they run out of their assigned portblock, there are pools which you can borrow from (these need then to be logged who borrowed at what time etc). So all in all there is less logging than when everything was dynamic.
The idea that Apple would fight this is a farce, as they regularly give up customers' data without a fight when the government requests it.

There are laws regarding this, so they don't have a choice. If they get a subpoena from a FISA court, there's not much they can do, but that goes for every US-based company.

Whatever fighting is going on is behind the scenes, so we wouldn't know about it.

Yes, new iPad Air and Pro models have USB-C. iPhones, iPods, and iPads used to have the 30 pin dock connector:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_connector#30-pin_dock_con...

So, since the start of the iPad in 2010, Apple has used three different connectors.

What's even more embarrassing: for a long time you would not be able to connect a brand new iPhone to a brand new MacBook, since the MacBook would only have USB-C connectors and the iPhone would come with an USB-A to Lightning cable.

What the Chinese do is different in that when the government orders the people to do something, they actually do it.

In Siege of Baghdad (1258) [0], "...Mongol soldiers looted and then destroyed mosques, palaces, libraries, and hospitals. Priceless books from Baghdad's thirty-six public libraries were torn apart, the looters using their leather covers as sandals.

The House of Wisdom (the Grand Library of Baghdad), containing countless precious historical documents and books on subjects ranging from medicine to astronomy, was destroyed."

I've moved from Australia to the US and found the US is much worse at nitpickiness.

Sure, you won't get pulled over for going a little bit faster on the freeway in the USA. But in daily life, people much more often will treat you like you're dumb, incompetent, or don't belong somewhere.

A couple of examples came up in recent news opinion pieces (both by Americans who have moved to Australia and, coincidentally, both mentioning swimming):

https://www.smh.com.au/national/where-the-hell-is-he-what-au...

"It went on like that for a while. Praise for the boy. Not a drop of concern. I looked to my right. Baz’s Nippers instructor, Al, a brawny former professional rugby player, was smiling. So were the rest of the Australian parents all around us.

I was confused at first, but I could also see in everyone an exhilaration that reminded me of my time covering the war in Iraq during its most violent months. It had been years since I’d experienced that mix of feelings – the electric shock of appreciation for life, the confidence that comes from transcending danger with others, for something that feels bigger than yourself. And it made me realise that, despite a journalism career filled with hazardous assignments, I still had a lot to learn about risk, not to mention child-rearing."

"Taking the kids for a swim at an outdoor public pool in New York felt more like a brush with the penal system. You are not allowed to wear any colour other than white, such is the fear of a poolside eruption of gang violence. Men have to wear bathers lined with meshing, and prove to the guards at the gates they are in compliance; a guard carries out inappropriately intrusive inspections.
[...]
"Any form of reading matter – newspapers, books, copies of The New Yorker – is strictly prohibited. In all, there are more than a dozen regulations that have to be adhered to – and even if you comply with those, there is the Kafkaesque possibility of being confronted with new ones that have seemingly been invented on the spot."
Do you have a public reference for this?
Yeah, I mean, I get what you're saying about the API design. That's probably more important to people because it's fun or novel, but it basically does have retained state about individual widgets. Not literally every individual widget, but it needs to store something, or it wouldn't know what you hovered over, or were dragging and dropping, so it does this with IDs. That's state, and it's retained. That is, it's not flushed after every frame. There's a global state used to track this, but it's just hidden from you. The IDs are probably generated based on call order, since the design requires you to "check" by drawing.

Like you said though, even immediate mode rendering in reality worked a bit differently than people really understood. Today we're not actually performing a DMA transfer with every single call.

You're generally right about how compositors do effects layering, since you have to continually reference existing texture data to composite layers without limits, though as far as I know, web browsers do this a bit differently, and I'm not sure what the limits are with the major implementations, or if they exist.

Human nature, like nature, abhors a vacuum. Surveillance capitalism is expanding exponentially in the new space created by digital technology. It is shaping the amorphous silicon with software, behaviors and business models that reflect the distorted morality and deficient humanity of a narrow clan.

This land grab is only possible in societies with no countervailing forces, either in government, judiciary, journalism, business world or civic society. Alas the US is very nearly such a failed society, as evidenced by its still smouldering Trump period. This is disastrous for the Western world in general (and Europe in particular) which for decades has simply followed the US lead in tech.

Tech is not just another cog in eternal societal struggles. Things are coming to a head. The challenges are compounding and the sustainability of our entire (eco)system is at risk. Tech should be at the forefront of shaping healthy social contracts to help us transition to a viable state. It is one of the few levers left that have a positive range. Instead it is abusing and eroding the most vital ingredient of a healthy society: trust

To paraphrase: Monitor your own keystrokes and combat soul theft. Make sure you program the kind of future you want to live in.

> This has resulted in a breakdown of the elephant family structure

Recovery from this kind of thing is actually quite quick in terms of generations, usually one or two. In this case, that's tough to observe, because one elephant generation is quite long in human terms.

(And of course, if the old ones keep getting poached, the problem will keep being refreshed rather than recovering.)
unless a profit can be made...
I could be wrong, but I think the moment of reward (among other things) actually also does cause certain kinds of neurons to release dopamine and then adjust their configuration depending on the relationship between the prediction and the reward, novelty, intensity, and other factors.

I believe both the "chase" and the "getting" release dopamine; or, at least, different sets of dopaminergic neurons will adjust their firing rates, spike thresholds, and other things based on chasing, reward, and more.

This dopamine neuron research by DeepMind is pretty interesting: https://deepmind.com/blog/article/Dopamine-and-temporal-diff...

Dopamine itself probably isn't the most important component; the complex inner and interconnected workings of dopamine neurons may be the crucial bit. Dopamine is just one way for them to talk to one another and get them to adjust (or not adjust) what they're doing. It's only one particular form of message-passing; dopamine neurons can also directly send electrical signals to one another.

Maybe kind of like an alien species trying to understand Earth's digital machines and deciding photons are the most important unit of functioning because they observe photons rushing back and forth through fiber optic cables and notice the timing and transmission frequency of the photons are closely correlated to the behavior of the systems. In some sense this is true, but in another sense it's a very superficial view.

And this analogy definitely isn't remotely close to accurate, but maybe there could be something going on where electricity is like a "link layer" and dopamine is like an additional transport and/or session and/or application layer. Or perhaps not that, but another surely inaccurate analogy is that perhaps it's a separate communication channel entirely, like a router's ethernet port for data vs. its console port for management.

(Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken about any of this. I am definitely not an expert and a lot of this could possibly be bullshit and the analogies are purely silly, contrived, speculative hypotheticals.)

In most US states you a free to discriminate for any reason except for certain protected groups. Eg, in many states you are free to discriminate on the basis of political party membership. See https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/can-employers-discri... .

So, absolutely you may require vegan-only employees. (Check local laws for exceptions.)

Furthermore, this is specifically a job advertisement for the group Save Animals From Exploitation. They would very likely have a bona fide occupational qualification to discriminate. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bona_fide_occupational_qualifi...
