I think is impossible to standardise everything. You can do it only with products with limited use cases, like Bluetooth devices, USB HID devices, some "standard" USB devices like cheap mouses, sound cards, disk drives, or WiFi NICs.

I won't ever happen a GPU standard in a short or medium time, because deciding how it would work were giving their R&D to the competition, and AFAIK, Nvidia, AMD, and Intel have totally different types of architecture.

Printers maybe could have some kind of USB standard, but I don't think the different printer making companies are willing to do that, the same happens with some kind of "gaming" devices. That would mean not showing ads of cartridge or other products and letting the users be more outside of their "ecosystem". QMK keyboards are a honourable exception to this btw.

I’m pretty interested but ignorant in the security detecting industry. It’s not mentioned in the article but would a big company like Microsoft be expected or obligated to pay Wiz a bounty for the discovery and disclosure of this vulnerability?
Here's another possible entry for a class action suit, I had a arachnoid type game on Appstore under 'Arcade' category for couple of years and one night I received an email telling Apple is moving my game from 'Arcade' category to some X category because it's naming it's new game subscription as 'Apple Arcade'.

I'm sure every other game in the Arcade category was bolted out unless it could be part of their subscription service. I'm in that part of the world where I can do nothing about it, But was hoping those in U.S. or EU sued the Apple for this.

Power users mourn features lost in Windows 11 'simplification'
I was like this for a bit, kinda loosing touch / interest in the latest fancy whatever. I used to get excited about new tvs, phones, whatever I could make an impulse purchase on and satisfy a need for a moment.

Still watch WWDC and other Apple keynotes but meh... I am excited about the new M chips. Had an M1 Macbook Pro until I quit that job and had to turn it in lol. It was hands down amazing / best Apple laptop experience I've had in a long time. Holding out for the next chip revision until I get a new personal one.

What excites me now - I've gotten pretty heavily into 3d printing. Have 2 printers working side by side now (thinking about a 3rd) Started out as just something to print random crap for around the house - under cabinet coffee mug holder, wall hooks, pen holder, etc... Now, I've gotten into (back into) RC cars and robotics - finishing up a motorized Wall-E Replica and an F1 RC car (based on OpenRC). I plan to design my own RC car soon. Have designed some of my own parts and am thinking about getting into production / trying to sell some stuff on Etsy or whatever.

Will it evolve into a career change of some sort? Not sure. But the path I'm going down is similar to how I got into web development; casual at first, then got an entry level job and been doing it for 20 years now. After 20 years, web development is blah. Constantly chasing the next best JS framework; trying to 1up the next candidate looking for the same job to stay relevant. Just getting exhausting.

It’s intuitively a reach, because photons don’t move.

From a four dimensional perspective—which is the correct one, let’s not forget—the distance between a photon’s emission and absorption event is always zero.

“Tired light” would require the photon to spontaneously lose energy based on the Manhattan distance of the path it takes. That distance can be arbitrarily large, sure—a photon can cover the entire universe before absorption—but it isn’t the path the photon actually takes, so it’s difficult to imagine why it would matter.

There's a difference, though, between simply not liking some kind of humor, and publicly making fun of it.

I generally think that this advice is over-simplistic, but this tends to be a situation where the, "If you can't say anything nice, just don't say anything," principle really is a good rule of thumb.

Back in the 1980s, the quip was that Delta stood for Don't Ever Land There Again. I believe that one incident had a pilot mistaking the Ohio State University airfield for the Columbus airport; the other was somewhere in the mid-South.
Property values have risen 30x in the last century in PPP terms. Colonialism might have had an impact on the starting value back then, but the other 97% of the current value was accumulated since then and came from somewhere else.

If you think the UK has an advanced economy due to 19th century colonialism you then need to explain the development of countries like Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. Japan went from feudal backwater to major global power in 80 years, and it completed that transformation 80 years ago. If you don't believe the UK did anything worthwhile in the last century to earn it's way and is free riding on the profits from stolen Zimbabwean tobacco from 1910, ok fine, now explain Japan.

Note that IPv6 doesn't necessarily have static addresses either. Also note that IPv6 support on the client side is gradually increasing. With current trends we'll reach the 100% in the next decade. At a certain point, some services will go IPv6 only.
> If entrepreneurs can already do this, why the fuck are they paying so much money for engineers in the bay area?

Because these people are scarce and companies can't automate that type of job. Yet.

But, just look at what happened when Facebook decided to not pay SF salaries to those that moved out of the Bay Area. That was just Zuck saying "if you want be anywhere in the world to work here, then I can also look anywhere in the world to hire people", which instantly made them realize that they are not that scarce anymore.

> How would you measure your scarcity?

- My employer finds someone that can do my job for less money than I am asking, so they replace me. I am not as scarce as I thought.

- Some other company will offer more money to do the same job I am doing currently. I am more scarce than I thought.

- I work on new things, show experience or an ability that not everyone in the company can - let's say I am now able to manage a team of developers or I can work on both the backend and do devops. My scarcity increased.

It's not that hard.
I was confused by this as well until it was cleared up in the first sentence of the article.
I don't think the bounds are tight or it can ever be. If you don't know something, you just don't know. We don't know much about negative mass or if gravitons exist yet, two things which could make apples fall upward. There's nothing that allows us to say with absolute certainty that it isn't possible, especially on planets billions of light years away that we have no visibility into at all.

Is this enough to open a competing store?

* Put your app for free on the appstore, but with a paywall

* In order to activate the app, you must buy it on an external site

* A web-based store allows users to browse and purchase apps, and "download" links send them to the appstore

* Customers can link their Apple IDs (or another account) so that purchases can be confirmed without having to sign in to every app individually

Or is there still something in the developer contract that prevents this?

Reminds me of Cyclic Conformal Cosmology theory (backed by Roger Penrose).

As far as I can tell, the CCC theory says that the big bang did happen but that the universe is cyclical. i.e. once the universe reaches 'heat death' another big bang happens.
While I get your point and would agree for some stories, I also don't think that's always necessary or even productive in a bigger picture sense. Sort of excusing away accomplishment by listing every advantage someone has or doesn't have is a good way to prime society to over index the effect of advantages/disadvantages and under index the effect of hard work.

You could probably spend half the money on rent there and live off 200 dollars a month.

For anyone wondering why they cant access their ipv6-addressed pi box from public WiFi networks: those public networks still use ipv4 and assign you only a lonk-local ipv6 address.

To go from 4 to 6, the public WiFi box will need to use a 4 to 6 "broker" and there are surprisingly few of these around and they're not usually free.

So basically, your home network and Pi is future-ready, but public infrastructure might need a moment...
To me the most important thing about IPv6 is how it enables reliable peer to peer networks. IPv4 is the bane of existence to p2p networks since you have to so much extra shit to make it work (Public address discovery, NAT hole punching, relaying connections through some machine with an open port).

With IPv6 you can just stick your address on a DHT and peers can connect to you 100% of the time, no matter what.

The only thing that sucks is that you can't count on an internet-connceted device having IPv6 yet.
Upvoted and do like the idea, its an interesting question to see how many languages do we really need. I remember some paper from the 80s suggesting in the future all we would need is Ada and Lisp. This is somewhat echoed with the GNU projects attempt at C for low level dev and Guile for higher level dev and scripting. With no judgement of suitableness or not trying to exclude just tossing out examples, I'd guess it looks something like:

Small footprint systems language - C, Zig, Ada/SPARK;
Higher level dynamic language - CL, Scheme, JS, Clojure;
Full Spectrum Language - Rust, Red + Red/System;
Basic low level embedded - Forth;
Higher level static language - Haskel, SML, Java;

But already these start breaking down, particularly static languages are a minefield. Lazy vs eager evaluation, nominal vs structural typing are two major axis of differentiation there. Then for both static and dynamic languages the question of immutable by default vs immutable as an add-on. Further there's a question of do you need 3 languages for system, high level, and full spectrum vs picking one of the two approaches? And even this binning of 5 completely ignores to what degree concurrency should be a first-class concern of the language. Then there's the whole question of VMs and is there value to building your whole ecosystem on a shared VM? And further, now there's the problem of exposing functionality to non-developers. Should we include a tool like Lua or R that targets non-devs, use a tool like Racket or Red with their very explicit support for creating small custom DSLs, or is that a total non issue because the correct solution is to write GUI tools for that market?

Then the bigger question is, to kitchen sink or not. Languages like CL, Scala, and C++ have taken an approach of implement a ton of features and then trust the developers to sort it out. Other languages are laser focused on a single feature and then take it to its extreme, kinda like how Clojure does with immutability or Pony with actors. Yet if we don't embrace multiparadigm languages, we're leaving a ton of research on the table or accepting the zoo of programing languages.

Yeah programming is a shitshow.

Isn't normal usage scraping in this case? Looking at whoogle-search/request.py it's "scraping" google urls via the python requests module.

You’ll get a few ipv6 address two of which may be local (link-local and routable unique local). The global one will be randomized too within your block for privacy.

Now with that in mind, the implementations do all kinds of funny things that don’t seem to meet spec when it comes to router advertisement (the dhcp replacement) and routing. Use the wrong kind of address for the gateway and nothing works for instance.

The risk is being taken primarily by the employees and the shareholders, but many of the rewards go to the CEO.

Boards of directors are scared of getting it wrong, and they memorialize that fear in contracts that throw tremendous amounts of money at their preferred candidate, often making guarantees regardless of performance.

But it’s not like boards have a spectacular record on picking CEOs in general. Well-regarded people blow it as CEO every year, but they still get tons of money. Why? Because of this deep belief that “CEO-quality” people are extremely rare, so every plausible candidate is incredibly precious.

To be fair, business boards are not unique in this failing. Professional sports teams fall into the same trap all the time.

> That’s when Lebanon’s cryptocurrency market took off, along with the OTC system run by traders like Awad. The OTC ecosystem here largely operates using Tether, a cryptocurrency pegged to the U.S. dollar and therefore subject to fewer price fluctuations. The process works like this: A client who wants to buy cryptocurrency will usually open a wallet on an exchange (the most popular in Lebanon being Binance) and then meet with an OTC dealer to hand over cash dollars. The dealer will send the same amount of Tether — minus a commission ranging from 0.5%–5% — to their account via a peer-to-peer transaction. The client can then pursue whatever crypto-investment strategy they see fit with the USDT in their digital wallets.

From the frying pan (domestic currency in shambles), into the fire (crypto waiting to implode).

Tether's many problems have been documented elsewhere. What this implies is that the funds being spent by the Lebanese in this story are very likely going into financial speculation, not day-to-day requirements like buying food. And they're using the absolute worst vehicle for doing that.

A ticking time bomb.

It has been noticed that resource rich countries in Africa actually do worse on average than those without. There's a lot of theories as to why: a common one is that it leads to brittle economies with all their eggs in one basket. If your country is rich in emeralds let's say, it doesn't take the entire countries population to mine enough to sell, so what does everyone else do when the whole economy is built around emerald mining? This leads to higher unemployment that's been seen in the mineral rich African states. It also means the economy is very sensitive to the market of the few goods they are rich in.

In essence: it is the effect of the entire European world coming in, taking whatever they want, and then absolutely ensuring that independence would be doomed to fail. These economies fail because they're not modern. If Europe wanted Africa to succeed post-colonialisn: it could have helped train people, build infrastructure, etc. Instead they secured rights for foreign companies to continue the work of imperialism even today.

>Empirically, some ISPs route IPv4 more efficiently and some route IPv6 more efficiently.

It is so refreshing to see this written down somewhere. All of the academic papers I've seen comparing the empirical routing performance between IPv4 and IPv6 show a negligible performance difference. However, in the two states I've lived where I have looked at IPv6 vs IPv4 performance I see consistently higher pings with IPv6. Traceroute reveals that each individual hop adds the about the same amount of latency, but there are ~15% more hops for IPv6.

If I play a competitive game then I don't want to be adding 10 ms of latency unnecessarily. So I just disable IPv6 on my gaming rig? C'mon. We can do better.
Not refreshing for me either.
