> I would like to eventually get rid of the concept of teams, gradually through expanding and integrating other teams into one huge team until there are no "other teams" left, and also getting back on the same team when we get into conflicts.

This is how you kill a hundred million people without breaking a sweat.
It's jarring because I've never seen advertising on any of the dozen substacks I've visited before. This one has so many ads.
The amortized cost is not that expensive. What's big is the price tag on a new fab with all the new tech gadgets from all the vendors (for example when you buy one big EUV machine from ASML and it takes 40 rounds with their special 747 to deliver it).
Good. And bad.

I am not sure that Apple deserves this power. What if Apple is the next evil megacorp?

For me this sounds like science fiction. Megacorps waging subtle war against each other. What's next?

I never use AWS or Azure privately. Everything I test I do on company or customer credit. You also more or less have to believe what they say you used in CPU time, storage is a bit easier to check.

But even with a simple webservice you quickly get to 50 - 100$ alone from testing and deployment.

I heavily recommend to rent a server for private use. They are always the cheaper option at fixed costs. Of course you don't have those fancy services... I only use a virtual server right now and pay $45 quarterly with domain. It still does have quite a lot of power though.
Many of you haven't noticed yet, but contemporary AAA devs realized years ago how much easier to make something compulsive than compelling and substituted addiction for fun, taking inspiration from slot machines and abandoning past masterpieces.

Shooters aren't enjoyable enough to justify this shit. Other genres are more respectful of your time, money, and efforts than to dribble content you purchased at a rate just slow enough that you'll keep playing. Your time and attention are valuable non-renewable resources. Consider how well you're spending them.
SF has less than a million people. Its budget is 12 billion (10 without the airport). You know how if you leave your cat food out, you get a fat cat? We left the cat food out and now he is ever ravenous, never satiated.
The motor will simply turn freely without power, there's no need to disconnect them. Tesla is literally going out of their way to prevent the neutral equivalent from being accessible.

But should we really expect anything else from a company so desperate to eliminate steering wheels from its cars?
Not to mention Apple's amateur-hour, dogshit-stupid policy of forcing everyone to use an E-mail address as his user ID.

How many people probably think they need to use their E-mail account password for every one of these idiotic organizations that forces them to log in with their E-mail address? I'm guessing a SHITLOAD. Your grandma definitely is not going to understand the difference.

And that makes every one of those organizations the gatekeeper to every user's E-mail account. One disgruntled employee, one poorly secured system, or one nefarious forum operator can now access untold numbers of E-mail accounts and steal identities galore.

You don't see banks or brokerages forcing people to use a goddamned E-mail address as a user ID, but Apple has doubled down on this bullshit policy even after being called out on it. No excuse.
Thanks again for your input! Yes, the app remains fully functional forever, with the limitation being that you cannot add new notes. Sounds like I need to make this more clear in the docs.

There is no free account. You pay with your data. Recent right to repair legislation in Germany makes the concept of "paying with your data" explicit for the first time even in law text. So courts can no longer doubt that it is paying. But of course it has existed implicitly for years in many contexts. Not sure whether there have been high profile cases whether giving data is "paying" or not. A contract does not require payment by money.

Whether a contract is formed when you register and agree to their terms would depend on locally applicable law. I don't recall stories that courts would have deemed registrations on the internet invalid in general. Certain terms in the aggreement definitely.
Nigeria to launch its digital currency, eNaira on Oct 4, says Emefiele
One of the mind blowing downsides of electric cars I recently experienced (with Leaf) is inability to shift to neutral once the car dies. This happened to me at the middle of the intersection - many people stopped and offered to help me push the car out of the way but this wasn’t possible! How is being able to shift to neutral even when the car is completely off is not the legal requirement???
Oh yeah?! Well, we paid $4.5 million to build the BART canopies so there.
> GDPR do make a lot of things cumbersome, not only if you are doing "bad" things.

That's a far cry from "they make these cookie banners necessary". Tracking people without consent on first visit is what makes them necessary. The anger is consistently misdirected at the people who violate the boundaries of others, not the law that requires consent for it.

> So let's say you have a printed list where kids and their parents signup with name and phone numbers, you should probably have a data integrity policy and someone akin to a DPO. In your small non-profit soccer club!

"We'll ask them if it's okay to store it, and once they leave the club we delete their contact information after N months." Now you have a policy. The person who does everything else, the person who is already secretary, receptionist, accountant, project manager, janitor, coach, counselor, CEO, is now also the PDO.

Human rights being trampled on with an ever increasing mesh of surveillance by big agencies and corporations as well as little informants are such gross violations, such a terrible trajectory we put society on, that mere complication and discomfort is not something that can ever trump them in my book. I would even say if you can't put food on the table without ignoring the human rights of others, just don't put food on the table -- because that's the negotiable part, while the preservation of human rights is not. We need human righs, we don't need ad-hoc low-effort soccer clubs. Like, at all. Just get a ball and some friends in that case.

Clickbait in all the different publications that run it. Is there any chance that glass skyscrapers will be painted over? Can it reduce a 90 degree F and 75% humid day to easy-to-do-office-work in?

I could use a primer on the science for the effects it does have. I was under the impression that black bodies radiated most efficiently, not white. Is the premise “reflects all the sunlight, plus allows radiation of heat from the surface being painted”? Suppose the air temp is 90 degrees and the surface temp of the painted material is 85 degrees, how does the radiation work?

> Most vehicles in addition to this have a mechanical "emergency" or "parking" brake for actuating the rear calipers mechanically.

> Teslas are just annoying.

Well, not any more, electric parking brakes have been a thing for some time and nowadays you can find them in very mainstream cars (like the latest Škoda Octavia). So it's not just Teslas that are annoying.
> it's complicated, but not complex

These are synonyms. Please disambiguate with contextual examples, if you believe otherwise.

There are various features provided by Snapchat (camera, filters, games) and FB (marketplace, messenger) that nobody would ever compare to a BBForum/Wikipedia. They are inherently complex and valuable to the majority of their users.

Unfortunately there are studies that show that building the battery of an electric car pollutes as much as a ice car in 8 years of use. That's not very helpful unless you find the way to greenify the extraction and building process.
As a sibling comment said, the notion is "Personal Data".

It is very wide and email address definitely fall within it. Also note IP is personal data, and an identifier like a UUID of the IDFA is personal data. The key point is that it must be related to an identified *or identifiable* data subject, ie even if that information is not enough to identify the person, the fact that it can contribute to it makes it personal data.
We had a similar problem my last startup job. The back end was a complete house of cards. I spent months trying to convince leadership we needed to shore it up. I could have done it myself in a week if they let me. But they kept pivoting from one concept to another on the front end and weren't interested in fixing the back-end.

I convinced myself that if we got institutional funding as they hoped, the cavalry would come in and tighten everything up. But then I asked around and found out that institutional investors don't do that. I started just collecting a paycheck instead of trying to build something, got discouraged and left.

The process of developing the formalism would actually surface a lot of those issues. The distinction between "pistols" and "rifles", for example, raises many practical questions...
I feel like Apple could afford to staff a security program like this. Much, much smaller and less wealthy companies manage it.
Same reason it renders U+F8FF as something (I've seen it render as the Klingon logo, as Tux; currently some font on my system is using it for a stylized 't' surrounded by brackets), because someone wanted some glyph available not in Unicode. You'll have to ask Apple about the why.

Just bear in mind that those glyphs have no meaning at all without the font that includes them. Without the font, you get a □ or better, a block of Unicode tofu — a square filled with the numbers and letters of the hex code for that codepoint.
The sliced wafer is small, but due to the precision and process requirements everything else is big. Chip fabs have a complete chemical plant in them because they need high purity solvents and deposition feedstock.

That older level of cleanliness is still above a typical pharma factory level cleanliness. (Where there's no laminar air flow and no need for bunny suits, but everything is sterile and consumables like containers, pipes, feedstock is unpacked right before. And there are a number of verification (QA) steps before the finished lot leaves the factory. Just like with chips, just in the pharma/chemical case it can be done in bulk if it's in a homogeneous liquid phase.)

No, it isn't. Snow Leopard was awesome. Mavericks was also pretty solid. In fact, I'm still running that on my machines today.

Neuro (YC W21) Is Hiring Engineers to Build APIs for ML Compute, £40-100k Bath,UK
In the case of emergency, the car can either lock the brakes up and die, or do nothing and die. There's no other option, there's no mechanical backup, no braking pawl, no gear to shift in. Do you consider "being unable to secure the car in one place" the safer option?
Oh that's exciting, NVidia have open sourced their driver and put it up on Github?
I mean that the traditional cars have either an automatic transmission with locking mechanism, or manual transmission which has significant resistance when coupled with the engine with a small gear. The traditional car is truly freely rolling only in specific configuration (neutral engaged).

Electric cars have none of that. The wheels are connected to the motor with a fixed gear, and the electric motor without power can't prevent the car from rolling. Thus you can say the system is "free rolling" by default. There are no mechanical configurations, just a fixed single one.
Sadly, Apple always gives the "latest and greatest" version all the security updates, and is more selective about backports, see here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212814 for stuff you're unprotected from if you stay on iOS 14.

This includes arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges.

This has been the case for a long time for Apple, which forced me to break my Catalina boycott (remember the macOS Vista stories here?) because I don't want unfixed, publicized 0days on my machine.
Tips for Outsourcing Work to Drive Growth
For market forces to work, we need to attribute some monetary value to the quality of life of animals.

Eggs from chicken that have more space and can go outside suffer less but are more expensive to produce.

Ignorance or questionable ethics should not be rewarded by monetary gain. That is why relying on consumers to "vote with their wallet" is a fundamentally broken design.

External costs should always be included in the price of a product.
> never pay attention to the cost of prototypes. It's just not related to final product costs. It's a little like software: the first one's very expensive and the following ones are very cheap.

Well, except the first question presented in the article is "why are we paying for any prototypes in the first place, instead of just using cans that already exist?"

Prototype costs seem pretty relevant to that question.
Right, you’re only missing one important detail:

> on top of the most secure monetary network

Because eth is a circus: major cult of personality issues, major scalability issues, monetary policy is all over the place, changed at a whim of god knows who or in reaction to past shortsightedness and a planned transition away from the one thing that keeps at least some semblance of stability - PoW towards even less politically stable rich-get-richer PoS, being sold as scalability solution without having anything to do with scalability at all.

It’s a joke.
Because it’s beating a dead horse.

I done this with Affinity Designer and now when I successfully leaved marketing and public relations driven Apple, this decision is paying off nicely.

Running Affintiy Designer under Windows 10 VM is non issue.

OS-agnostic path is the only long-term way of working.

Now under Linux I use Resolve, BitWig and Reaper, Blender, Inkscape, Krita, Emacs and I feel confident that no corporation will dictate my workflow in the endless pursuit for world domination.

The reality is that we are living in some form of economic stagnation, worldwide changes are ahead and people will be poorer, this will drive Apples vision for 1000 dollars + smartphones and overpriced computers out of place. I have converted my business to ARCH and in the process saved a ton of money (previously dedicated to buy Apple Silicon).
Now this money will be spend on my engineers not on some half-assed marketing plan from company out of touch.

The only software that kept me inside Apple Ecosystem was Sketch. Since pandemic started for good or bad Figma is taking Sketch market-share, I don't like SaaS for design paradigm, but we adapt to clients requirements not to our own taste. I used Inkscape for interface design long before Macromedia Fireworks to offer a specific solution. So I am set for the future.:)

Not sure as we don't see the actual implementations, but it should be unambiguous for the compiler given the method signatures are different.
>If the car detects a problem in power supply circuit, it's perfectly rationale action to engage the electric parking brake as "last wish" when the car has stopped

Perfectly rational as the default action perhaps, but Tesla should still provide a way to manually override that behavior. We have the technology.
Just putting out my experience with spam. I have a generic gmail email since 2008, & bought few dozen domains over these years for personal use, with varying tlds.

Since 2018 I am getting almost a spam rain, see statistics & logs of spam in this published google sheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSdZyRvDd0ES...

Almost every email has no text, just an image, with a text footer with Unsubscribe. But clicking each unsubscribe tells spammer this email address is hot & live. I made this mistake of clicking Unsubscribe few times in 2018. Now about few weeks ago I loaded images on one of the email by mistake.

Domains these emails sent from are typo, subjects are stupid offers.

A filter adds a label to these emails & deletes them. A google apps script runs once every 24 hours, fetches data from these emails with label X in trash, adds that data to Log Sheet I linked above. Then script removes the tag.

I spent hour or two trying to find anything running and didn't find a damn thing. Yet Amazon decided to charge me a buck or two every month for "storage" so I just canceled whole account. I mean, if I can't find what I am paying for when not using it, how am I supposed to understand the bill when I actually have a dozen of instances?

WHO recommends antibody treatment for Covid patients at high risk
Similar to how hard it is to clean MRSA or prions. Hot high pressure CO2 does it. (It's cheap, readily available everywhere. It's a process problem. It's hard to do it in hospitals in a safe and automated way because humans, but in a factory the pesky humans are not a problem.)
An automatic transmission is effectively decoupled when the engine is off despite being left in drive. Without the engine spinning, there's no functioning torque converter. So the most ubiquitous ICE configuration, the auto with a torque converter, defaults to a neutral equivalent when the engine is off and the operator doesn't explicitly put the trans in park.
As a new engineering manager (recently, part-time hiring manager) I'm now spending lots of time looking through resumes and scouting candidates.

When someone leaves their company, even after being in their role for many years, the company pays a cost. First in the form of knowledge loss, then they lose money in the time it takes to hire another candidate, and then again when they need to hire/onboard the next new joiner. New-hires multiply this cost because as a new member of the company you are basically an investment... the moment you join the company you are a net financial loss. The expectation is that you pay for yourself after you start being productive in your role, and this takes time. If you leave after 6 months then not only does the company pay the leave cost, but they probably barely covered the "hire" cost too.

This work has progressed a lot since 2019, although the blog post here describes the original spurt of work on it. Nowadays Matrix has MSC3079 to formally spec low bandwidth transports: https://matrix.org/blog/2021/06/10/low-bandwidth-matrix-an-i... and we’ll be building it into clients & servers by default in future.

The final major unsolved problem is that the sync API doesn’t support pagination yet, so on a big account you can end up burning bandwidth (and cpu) syncing data for rooms or room members that the client doesn’t care about. This is the final piece of the puzzle, and the lowbandwidth team is working on it right now - and will probably be the most exciting and fundamental improvement in Matrix in years :)

I tend to downvote jokes or non-substantive comments about systemd (although I haven't downvoted any of the comments on this post).

Like any other software system, anyone is welcome to question or doubt or disagree with systemd's design decisions. But some people seem to have an almost irrational hatred for it, far beyond what a mere software package calls for. Even if a person making a joke about systemd isn't themselves like that, being reminded of it all makes me want to reach for that downvote button. And the topic gets tiring after a while anyway, it has been done to death already.
