The '80 were a period of continuous economic decline and increase in nationalist sentiment all over USSR and satellites. Mostly an implosion. The US won by simply sustaining a level of prosperity that the Soviets could not match. Arguably pop music, blue jeans and Hollywood movies were the primary driver of the destruction of the morale of the average soviet citizen, especially the young generations for which the carnage of WW2 was a distant memory. Militarily speaking, the Afghanistan debacle was the largest contributor, though that was mostly the doing of the Afghanis.
I've had similar issues with all Pixel phones I've got too :(

I do like the fact that nothing fancy gets installed on the phone (unlike Samsung, the rest), but my Samsung N9 Note has been working for 2-3 years no issues! (yes, I don't like the crap that they add, but got used to it... by ignoring it)

> And if that individual doesn't get their $0.25 of water, they die.

And in reality, people usually are willing to steal for things when they are desperate for them (which markets may or may not price in thru higher prices) before they are just willing to die.

> How is that a reasonable outcome in any functioning society?

I think the issue here is that I don't think we as people can all agree as to what is reasonable, or what "functioning society" actually means, though we are much better at coming up in aggregate with states that are possible in a given society (despite how unlikely some of those states are). In this, society is comprised of a combination of more or less likely "reasonable" and "unreasonable" states.
ASCAP doesn't take kindly to unlicensed public performances, and I imagine they would love to shake down police departments with deep pockets for licensing fees. There might even be a reward for the person who informs them about it.

'uses your data models' as an alternative to API is really interesting -- risky in some ways (you're including code), less risky in others (you own the data). Also leans on sophisticated ORM + migration features that aren't standard in every language / framework, but probably will be some day

Can you support that belief with any evidence or a coherent argument? What good does FB do that offsets the great amount of evil it does?

What offsets FB's choices that connected millions of extremists and gave them protected spaces to radicalize each other? [0]

What offsets FB's decision to rush into regions it can't moderate, leading to FB being used as the platform that spreads genocide-inciting misinformation? [1]

Personally I've had to work very hard to keep my parents safe this pandemic, disabusing my parents of dangerous COVID related misinformation that they saw on Facebook. I've had to research some really deranged stuff that they picked up on that platform.

I see a pretty deep debt on the evil side of the ledger, but you're asserting FB is net positive. So what am I missing? Where is the good stuff FB does that offsets all of this harm?

Put this at the discretion of the uploader.

Remove the allegedly infringing music, with a notice that audio has been filtered due to copyright claim, unless the uploader permits a revenue passthrough / share with the copyright claimant.

(This still doesn't address the issue of erroneous claims, e.g., the Adam Neely / Kate Perry fraudulent claim, but it does mean that neither YT/Google nor the claimant automatically profit by the appropriation of another's work and audience-development.)
The only known ways to detect the defect involve x-raying the battery or destructive disassembly. They could theoretically send the batteries back to a centralized location for testing and refurbishment with 2019-2021 models, but it isn't clear that would save them any money, and they already promised new batteries to owners of 2017-2019* models.

My understanding is that what they are really working on is a cost effective way to check for the defect on new batteries leaving the LG plant, so they can be confident that the replacements don't have the same problem.

* Some 2019 models were included in first recall, others in the second, based on where the batteries were manufactured.

This is good on the face of it, but there must be a tiered secure way for Australian techs can access and learn how to use and implement.
One like to think that Australia, as one of the 'five eyes' has this down pat, but I have read of stories where low level data stores of unimportant stuff are maintained on servers that also hold several other tiers of data up to top secret, and data can be moved laterally, bypassing the security needed. Cloud storage can and has been penetrated, often in a way that does not reveal the loss.
So what is needed in a 'vaults within vaults method, like the
matryoshkas dolls are nested. Each time you open a doll, the security differs, the encryption differs etc etc, so a hacker can not go 1-2-3-4 through all the levels.
They also need 'canaries'. (canaries - the small birds, are exquisitely sensitive to poisonous mine gasses and miners would take down a small cage with a canary in it. The bird would stop chirping, fall off the perch or even die far quicker than a human, so they watched the canary - anything happens, get out now).
In data stores, the canary would be a complex set of files that used the nomenclature of the target company, file names, project names, people etc. The contents would be well encrypted, but would have no valid data, just stuff deeply encrypted so the crooks think they found 30 gigs of data, movies etc - they would grab and decode later. This would give the impression of a hacking job well done. Of course, the canary implementation scripts collect whatever data they can, pings, IP numbers - all the baggage they can get. The canary would 'lose the connection' from time to time, to see how/where it is reconnects.
If all goes well, they only get canary guts to eat - if not, they may get data. This would be deeply encrypted, so the true data in there can not be winkled out.
This is serious business. You can bet Russia, China, Korea make it hard to steal their data, so the 5 eyes need to be even better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
Equal pay for "equal work". Two people have the same job. One is 2x as productive as the other. But they would be paid the same, due to a drive for pay equality.

The Pixel "a" series is solid. The features that Google reserves for their flagship level is laughable (hey Soli) when all most people want is just a reliable phone with a decent update story and maybe a few "premium" features like water resistance and a headphone jack.
> We found amplifiers that, once triggered by a single packet sequence from the attacker, will send an endless stream of packets to the victim. In our testing, some of these packet streams lasted for days, often at the full bandwidth the amplifier’s link could supply.

>>I'm also puzzled by the fact that EU is funding this. Usually states and state-like entities are exactly the ones who don't want people to use decentralized technologies, because they often make laws difficult or impossible to enforce.

Ideally, the state represents the interests of the people, and it's in the interest of the people for decentralized technologies to be better funded, so that abusive government and corporate power can be checked.

Therefore, one of the activities of a truly democratic government will be to contribute to the creation and enhancement of technologies and institutions that act as non-political checks on government and concentrated corporate power, like privacy and decentralized communication protocols, physical and electronic cash, etc.

It seems the letter from Apple that the dev posted on Twitter (which was cropped, excluding the date) was actually from 2019 and not sent recently -- it was his initial rejection before the app was finally approved. A bit misleading, whether intentional or not -- if it was intentional, it cleverly fanned the flames. Props to the dev for gorilla marketing skill.

There probably aren't going to be even 300 kerosene-burning Falcon 9 flights ever (this was number 127 or 128), because Starship is likely to start lifting commercial payloads by 2023 or 2024, and it burns methane, which could more easily than kerosene be part of a solar-power-to-rocket-fuel pipeline, recycling environmental CO2.

Oh no, that wasn't my intent at all. I was just saying that things in court can get pretty messy when you try to define things precisely with laws that don't directly address edge cases. That's why you see headlines about rulings that seem so counterintuitive and ridiculous upon first glance.
What role did Apple have in establishing it? It's not like people are installing the Kindle app thanks to the app store alone. It's thanks to Amazon's own marketing. Apple made the hardware and the OS, and developers are only publishing their apps on the app store because they have to in order to get them onto iOS devices, not because the app store offers such a great service. I'm pretty sure that given the technical capability, many would bypass the app store with its ridiculous policies and serve the app package straight from their websites. Which, by the way, is exactly what's happening on macOS. Apple is going out of its way trying to make mac app store happen, but developers are clearly having none of it.

> It should be noted that devices that are hard bricked and in Sahara mode (Qualcomm USB PID 9008) and have secure boot enabled (pretty much EVERY production device) will only accept signed programmers. This means that it is not only device specific (i.e. MSM8x26,MSM8974,etc) but vendor specific as well (i.e. LG, HTC, etc) since OEMs generate their own private keys to sign all firmware images, including EDL images.

Google have _not_ released the signed firehose files required to be able to fix this.

I was preparing to replace my Pixel 3a screen and even got the kit from iFixit when I realized that this would never work.

I took it to the local repair affiliate (ubreakifix) and let them break the screen instead. They were apologetic but I wasn't surprised and I got a new screen and glass for next to nothing.
Short answer "not really".

While it could be used to recover the phone, it requires a "programmer" program, which is signed by the vendor (Google, here) that hasn't been leaked.

Or, really, I should say that these programs should be made available as "software rights to repair".

They still degrade over time and until they become more modular like the Ultium system GM is putting into their next-gen EVs it's still a big costly single point of failure.

The article references two studies. One was looking at pediatric populations and the other adult populations:

> The authors of the paper out this week took a different tack to answer a similar question, this time for adults. Instead of meticulously looking at why a few hundred patients were admitted to a pair of hospitals, they analyzed the electronic records for nearly 50,000 COVID hospital admissions at the more than 100 VA hospitals across the country. Then they checked to see whether each patient required supplemental oxygen or had a blood oxygen level below 94 percent. (The latter criterion is based on the National Institutes of Health definition of “severe COVID.”) If either of these conditions was met, the authors classified that patient as having moderate to severe disease; otherwise, the case was considered mild or asymptomatic.

> The study found that from March 2020 through early January 2021—before vaccination was widespread, and before the Delta variant had arrived—the proportion of patients with mild or asymptomatic disease was 36 percent. From mid-January through the end of June 2021, however, that number rose to 48 percent. In other words, the study suggests that roughly half of all the hospitalized patients showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely, or had only a mild presentation of disease.

> This increase was even bigger for vaccinated hospital patients, of whom 57 percent had mild or asymptomatic disease. But unvaccinated patients have also been showing up with less severe symptoms, on average, than earlier in the pandemic: The study found that 45 percent of their cases were mild or asymptomatic since January 21. According to Shira Doron, an infectious-disease physician and hospital epidemiologist at Tufts Medical Center, in Boston, and one of the study’s co-authors, the latter finding may be explained by the fact that unvaccinated patients in the vaccine era tend to be a younger cohort who are less vulnerable to COVID and may be more likely to have been infected in the past.

Knowing that almost 50% of the hospitalizations in both children and adults that are classified as COVID hospitalizations aren't really for COVID totally obliterates the narrative in the media about how (mostly unvaccinated) COVID patients are overwhelming the hospitals.
