Funny, that's almost exactly how long it takes for the promo video to start auto-playing.

I know for myself I try to skip past titles before getting barraged with the promo.
Apple decided ports 5000 & 7000 were free to be reserved by OS-level services, and once you upgrade to Monterey, you're not going to be able to run anything on these ports as a developer.

Seems like an oversight. Will probably end up being a common annoyance if you're in ecosystems which default to one of these ports for running a project locally.
> Form controls, since the very invention of them, are terrible. It has cost the world billions, as worldwide every single developer and project has to reinvent some of them, often breaking basic accessibility in the process.

We're close to being down to two browser engines that matter, one of them with well over half total market share, and they still don't bother to fix forms. You're right about the costs, they're immense. Billions isn't an overestimate for ball-parking the figure, I'd say.

Shit, Firefox, you want to do something to stay relevant, be the first to do that right. Go nuts with some (well-considered) non-standard extensions, behaviors, and tags, worst case no-one uses them and no other browsers adopt them, best case you achieve arguably the greatest thing your project ever has (which is saying something—early FF, especially, was awesome). It may be too late (like every other idea I can come up with to save FF, they should have started at least a decade ago) but it's worth a try.
The US has one as well. Similarly, it has a key focus on accessibility.

Let's see how T-Mobile's security compares to life in prison, criminal.
But that's not the case here, it's still 5s to copy 1GB of data unless the cache fills up, which many people won't normally do.

So the parent post's analogy with an undersized radiator is still appropriate, you need to understand the whole system to know what its impact on you will be - you can get one good 0-60 run, then need to let the car cool down at idle for 15 minutes before you try it again.
At 5000 Hz, you could probably just rig up a sound card with a mic input.

No, you're wrong like I was. It's not just the hardware parts that are closed (what's under libhybris). It's also the entire UI toolkit (the library that they have on top of Qt) and most of the built-in applications that are closed source.
If you give it back to the population, then you can't use it to pay for sequestering. That prevents doing something about the problem, and just brings you back to "pay to pollute".
That's a different question. All over this thread, you're repeatedly saying that 100% of web apps are feeding marketing machines. I have a counter-example.

It's a separate question of how a patient can be sure of that fact. There's actually not a really reliable way a patient could even become aware of the existence of this product, since they would never see it or be informed of it. Patients are not users of this product. Users could ask their IT department for a log of outgoing internet-bound requests from the servers. Or ask whether those servers even have the capability of contacting arbitrary third parties.
I first used the WWW in 1995 (after seeing a fellow student in a computer lab looking at sports scores in a browser and asking him what he was looking at) and, of course, it used blue for links at that time. That fact that it took this article, 26 years after I first saw the WWW and 25 years after I built my first web page, to question why hyperlinks are blue makes me laugh. What else have I never questioned because it was always that way?
But it only does that if you have "display current activity as a status message" selected.

“man, if you grew up in middle America, hearing about a Maserati, you might not even know what it was, let alone that it existed”

I assure you that even a rural kid like me knew what a Maserati was. We had movies, TV, and car magazines. People's assumptions about information delivery pre-internet are horribly warped.
There is still some truth to this. But the os does not phone home like google and apple phones do. Not even close. Package signing is usable but still not widly adopted. App jails are still in beta, since, 4. Luks passphrases are almost ready for noobs. I decided to work on it since it only calls home when you ask. And ui.
It's not any easier to be sympathetic to the point when the first victim in the article is someone who owns a vacation home that largely sits idle in a city with a housing shortage and problems of homelessness. Not that it's not a problem, but damned if that's not as tone deaf as anything I've read in the past month or two.
nice read, thanks
Destroying Google dominance in search market will thoroughly damage the company, reducing it to a husk of its former self. This would enormously weaken Apple competitor, strongly improving its market power. It’s most definitely worth to Apple more than $15B/year, as long as they can pull it off, and can avoid antitrust.
A workaround with Firefox container tabs is too complex to bother. Not to mention it doesn't work on mobile?

POLITICO averages 26 million unique visitors per month to their U.S. website and more than 1.5 million unique visitors on average to POLITICO.EU.
I think it's a bit disingenuous to use 2008 as the point of reference. Bitcoin didn't really reach the point of public consciousness before the 2017 boom (which was largely attributable to price manipulation. Prior to that the main use-case was buying drugs online, and prior to that it was a niche hobby for libertarian futurists.

Given the increasing prevalence of ransomeware attacks, and the fact that they have touched higher and higher profile targets, it's not impossible to imagine the regulatory hammer coming down on cryptocurrency at some point in the near-ish future.
Only ~33% of my 27", 1440p display is used for this article, which makes the images very unclear unless I zoom in, since they don't get their own paragraph and the text wraps around them. Not sure if this qualifies as irony for a blog article on UX.
Exactly. It's like game balance: you can have a game scenario where there's an exploit, and everyone ends up simply going with the exploit or being crushed, causing the game to become simplified to an uninteresting, uninvolving mechanical process whereupon it just dies, because it's no fun. There are a few people who think they are the big winners because they're the masters of the exploit, but they're whales in a tiny pond and are themselves stifled by how dead their environment is, and may themselves die off, still being the biggest whale in the drying-up pond, and insisting they've mastered everything that matters.

That, but capitalism.

The NCMEC database is large and graded to distinguish types of photos. There’s evidence in the false positive calculations that Apple is only using a subset, presumably the one where photos are graded as depicting active abuse.

It’s not reasonable to dispute the 1 in 1e12 false positive claim on mere speculation.

Even when DDG does well, very often I'll still add in a second search with !g in case Google has an even better result. Some searches have one answer (what's the population of Paris), whereas some searches have multiple answers and you want to pick the best result(s) (how to do x).
> Without rent control, those who are more wealthy can afford the housing, those who are poorer are out of luck.

I prefer that. It's not just about wealth, but also about how much you want to live there. I know people who earn about as much as me and spend > 30% of their net income on rent because they want to live in a trendy area. I don't need to live there, so I was able to choose differently and pay ~12% of my net income.

Also: with wealth, there's at least some correlation with merit. With a lottery, there's none.
If The Department of Agriculture cared at all about illegal immigration, they would go out today and arrest or shut down the largest employers of illegal immigrants.
It should be mentioned that their reasons were mainly developer convenience/productivity, and not “correctness”.

I think people severely overrate the value of the language when it comes to avoiding bugs. We already know how to minimize bugs: Extensive testing regimes (automated, manual, or both) and a general focus on correctness over “shipping on an artificial deadline”.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with this subject.
I'm not the typical iPhone owner (since I don't own one) but DDG is not "terrible" by any metric, especially compared to Google. I've used DDG nearly exclusively for a couple of years now, and every time I'm unhappy with the results and try the query on Google, it's no better there.
By the way, given the fact American science is universally recognized, I actually wonder why won't all the counties and the EU countries in particular just recognize everything FDA approves. It is scientifically, clinically and time-proven Adderall helps with ADHD and hardly does any harm. Yet they stubbornly refuse to legalize it.
I don’t see that anywhere in the post to which I replied; they were telling a story about something that happened to a family member. I think you are being hyperbolic.

Look, it’s rough out there, but if it continues to be hard for the small-time owners—squatters are just one facet here—the only landlords left will be megacorps with 43-page contracts[0]. This will cripple one of the best paths for people from humble origins to build wealth.

If you are some form of anarchist and don’t believe this is a good cause, well, we have nothing to discuss. But if you understand that there’s no way property rights are going away in the West, and you think the common person should share in them, the zeitgeist should concern you.

It's doubtful the focus would be there, it'll be on how locked down their ecosystem is, the app store, API's, proprietary ports etc.
One of my concerns with using an SDR is that the FCC basically requires DRM[1]:

> ...importers and marketers should ensure that [two-way radios] are properly certified and labeled as FCC-compliant and cannot be easily modified to operate outside its grant of certification.

So if you use an SDR for LoRa, you have to make it hard for users to modify the code to emit a different frequency.

There’s really only one way out of this mess, and that is for cities of the world to get serious about housing supply.

First, in most cities, it is far too difficult to bring new housing units to market due to slow-moving non-deterministic regulation. Replacing that with efficient and deterministic regulation is the most important thing, so that over time the market can supply enough housing to bring prices down.

Second, in strained housing markets (most major cities), property taxes need to go up significantly to reduce the utility of housing as an investment, and there especially needs to be a substantial tax penalty on vacant and semi-vacant (second, third homes etc.). There’s no reason a housing strained city shouldn’t use that mechanism to raise funds from the wealthy and discourage vacancy.

Finally, cities that are sufficiently strained should impose significant hotel and vacation rental taxes. That’s harder to implement ordinarily because it’s not actually that easy for the government to tell the difference between a normal rental, short-term rental, and vacation rental. Also, short-term rentals are actually a healthy part of a local economy. But assuming that they started by making it much easier to build new supply and reduce the housing shortage, in the short term the city should be profiting wildly from tourists rather than letting tourists displace local residents. That tips the economic balance by lowering the demand for tourism to levels that don’t distort the local housing market.

Over time that should be able to bring housing supply and demand to an equilibrium that is affordable to the locals, and at that point taxes could be adjusted over time (likely reduced) to maintain the equilibrium.

Sadly, most people who work in City government have a really poor understanding of economics. They lean utopian socialist and are really offended by things like low income housing which tend to be ugly, and so they strangely and unintentionally ally with the hyper wealthy to try and exclude anything that offends their aesthetic (ie the poor), then fail at providing state housing that has the aesthetics they prefer because it’s economically infeasible to provide luxury housing for all. I wish this would change, but I fear that things will have to get much worse before this deeply entrenched dysfunction can be rooted out.
how on earth do you have 3 lines with unlimited data for 32 a month?
There aren't plenty of affordable housing when you have large swaths of the population with unstable and low income.

The spanish legal and economic setup is just bad. In fact I'd bet that most social spending done by Spain is basically useless, in that it helps basically nothing on social mobiity or capitalization of anyone depeding on them.

My region, which I consider sloppy/clumsy at organizing anything, typically does a better job than the central state or other regions.

My sister who lives in Ibiza requeted this new "basic income" for the pandemic, it only got a couple of months, and then got tangled into some administrative BS, and fined afterwards. So she has no income, and the rest of us (basically me, a low income worker and my dad, a pensionist) have to provide for her.
Yeah, the traffic isn't bad enough so let's just shoehorn in multifamily units into single family zoned neighborhoods that aren't remotely close enough to the jobs people work for bicycling to be a realistic option. Virtue signaling the housing crisis isn't useful. If you're going to talk about housing you can't just rail against "NIMBYs" and clamor for more housing. You have to actually explain how the infrastructure and transportation to/from jobs will work with your assertions. Otherwise you're just arguing for cramming everyone up each other's asses and let the chips fall where they may.

Most people are not going to ride a bicycle to work. Some of us have kids to drop off at school on the way to work. We have to buy enough groceries to feed a family, which don't fit on a bicycle. Let go of your hipster fantasies. We can't all be single people living in a flat, riding a bicycle to the farmer's market and the book store.
US is smart enough to retain the cream of the manufacturers. I think some smaller western countries are really in the danger of a complete de-industrialization.
> That is ignoring the trillions of dollar this industry has spend on think tanks for the downplay of climate change

Hahaha oh my. Hyperbolize much? It's difficult to take the rest of your comment seriously after this.

> This is beyond "people don't want to pay more", this is "we could get the same energy but cheaper, but that wouldn't allow the very powerfull to exhauste an available resource to depletion before they move on and leave us all with the externalised costs".

You don't understand economics. If you make a bad thing cheaper, people will consume more of that bad thing, depleting it and screwing over the environment even faster. Fossil fuels need to be much much more expensive so people stop burning them. You can't have it both ways. Oil companies may be bad and evil, but you don't even have a tenuous grasp on the topic.
More people die (and have major medical/quality of life impacts) from car driving than do die from COVID by an order of magnitude.

If we want to solve problems most efficiency, it must be by selecting causes in Pareto ranked order thus cars should come before COVID regardless.
I don’t necessarily think it’s a “right” to live in attractive areas, but I do see the point of having all kinds of people in a city.

My point was merely this: housing politics isn’t simply solving an economics/allocation/optimization problem. It’s also the sociological problem of creating a city.
What, have a "main thread" for stuff concerning everyone/whoever is able to contribute?

No. It's over complicated. They need a better solution.

Perhaps you only use Slack as a followup to meetings/todo items. We use it for all communication and the workflow is about opposite: someone raises an issue, someone or everyone discusses it, someone takes ownership and it turns into their TODO item.
I was hacked by IE (viruses on Windows), Firefox, and Chrome.

Few years ago, at revolution, Chrome told us about MITM attack and refused to connect to Google servers, while Firefox noticed nothing.

Few years later, attackers used my Chromium, which I used for work, to spy on my Firefox window, which I use for private browsing, by capturing of whole screen when Chromium sit unused. (I have it recorded on video).
In this case, in Spain, squatters can be immediately taken out of the property.

Spain distinguishes between:

'usurpación': That's what usually is called 'okupación' and refers to invading a building/house/flat which is NOT currently serving as a home for somebody.

'allanamiento': When you invade a place which IS a home. i.e.: while in your office, in vacation, shopping, or even when you're inside.

The case you're talking would be the second one, and in that case, the police could act and vacant the invader immediately.

well, its not a strong enough signal then...
Isn't that just capitalism? Replace "oil & gas" with any other for profit organizations and the same would be true, no?. E.g. if being privacy focused could make Facebook even more money than what they're doing now, they'd do it, etc.
Your wiki link doesn't say anything about muscular dystrophy. It mentions treatment of wasting syndrome (e.g. from HIV or cancer) but that's a metabolic issue rather than a muscle issue.

A quick googling reveals a 1965 paper that says anabolic steroids are ineffective, and some follow-up papers that talk about oxandrolone being modestly effective but mostly through glucocorticoid mechanisms (e.g. like Prednisone, not Testosterone)

It's much, much less efficient if you measure the utility of the banking system vs. the utility of cryptocurrency.
Depends on what you mean by high-end. If you want to run the latest AAA games then you will need a decent machine. If you want to do >1080p gaming then the requirements are even greater. But it's actually not that expensive, if you play 2 every day for 8/10 days, then you will play 584 hours/year. If your gaming setup costs $3000 every 5 years, that comes out to $1/hour. That's a lot cheaper than most hobbies.

The popularity of eSports is because pretty much anyone can play those games not that high end gaming is becoming a niche. Plus eSports & low-end gaming are super popular in less wealthy, non-western countries where as high-end gaming is going to be limited to developed countries. Within developed countries, high-end gaming is not a niche like VR.
I always used the hex codes for the web safe colors. I’ve been building web pages for 25+ years and I’ve never used color names.
Because if there's something proprietary running on it, how are you going to "install anything" without breaking the proprietary parts? You will not be able to replace the kernel, you will not be able to upgrade any library (not even libssl when the time comes, and it will come), you will not be able to customize the software to your liking, etc.

You lose half the benefits of having an open system in the first place. I will have exactly the same issues than I do when a run Google Android: no control over the device. You're 100% at the whims of Sailfish.

And as for "OSS Android" still having unknown Google stuff, I disagree.

Well, Microsoft became quite a big company off the OS and their business suite.

Of course it will be hard to find corporate clients for a mobile os, but may be doable.

But, you're right, aside from Microsoft and Red hat, and maybe CoreOS some time ago, people don't seem to earn money from OSes, unless I'm missing something.

Really, if people read everything they'd never get anything done. They see dozens to hundreds of things marked visually as important that they'll do fine ignoring, every single day. Of course they often miss the one or two per day that they actually needed to read.

Then there's the way styles are so different, especially on the web. Horribly user-hostile. How does this site mark something as important, assuming it bothers in the first place? Who knows. And if I'm only planning to be on it for 30s, I'm not going to learn that.
That's only true if people are actually willing to pay that much in fees though. If the amount from fees doesn't keep up then eventually some miners will have to stop mining.
Be careful with that thinking. It has undertones of ignorance and a blind faith in violence. The law is there to uphold the social contract of peace. For every crime, 'just' punishment.

Looters don't carry guns because they don't intend on murdering anyone. They are petty thieves. The moment we start to think everyone should have a gun, the unscrupulous - who would be a harmless petty thieves otherwise - can be transformed into the devils you imagined.
