If these private companies have such power, it's because you handed it to them.
Thanks, that article links to an earlier one https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/10/22666146/apple-epic-korea... which says:

Apple, however, maintains it’s under no obligation to let Epic in the App Store at all. “As we’ve said all along, we would welcome Epic’s return to the App Store if they agree to play by the same rules as everyone else,” an Apple spokesperson says in a statement to The Verge. “Epic has admitted to breach of contract and as of now, there’s no legitimate basis for the reinstatement of their developer account.”

So it sounds like it was in a statement to The Verge that was split into parts for the article and Tim is cherry picking the part that suits Epic. Seems impossible for Epic to play by the same rules as everyone else and be allowed back in since they broke more rules than the one that has now been changed. They really should have tried a legal approach first before sneaking their app store in.

I live in an area of New Zealand surrounded by hydroelectric dam's, and I've often thought it would be a great place for a datacenter. They'd be electricity savings from avoiding the transmission losses to get the electricity all the way to Auckland, and land is cheaper, but mainly because there ought to be a way of using the cold water for cooling rather than electrically powered coolers. The data center could even be built underwater, possibly in a canal to benefit from the existing water flow.
You are right that I didn't address that part of your question. I simply don't know much about it. I am not following a lot social media (outside Hacker News) or regular media, and I'm simply not in the loop with the topic.

The only thing I have noticed myself was that the CDC and the FDA (and the NIH) are quite conservative institutions. If some drug does not have the solid evidence showing it is effective, they will not endorse it. Sometimes this is frustrating, but if you put yourself in their shoes, what else can you do? When you judge a drug for yourself, you have a lot of information, you know everything about your own body, what it tolerates, what it doesn't, etc. But these organizations have to make a judgment that potentially affects the lives of hundreds of millions of people. They will err on the side of being conservative: it's better from their point of view if 1 million people die because they don't use an unproven drug than if 1 million people are saved, but 100k other people die of side-effects. For the simple reason that the 1 million who are saved will become invisible, and only the 100k who die of side-effects will be the center of attention in the media. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.

How China's Twitch Scales Out Databases and Gets Big Data Queries 6x Faster
Not sure if you're intentionally trying to misunderstand to make some weird point. All I said is that there exists land that is not forest, and is not otherwise suitable for agriculture, but that can be converted by cows into food. This is not only not provably false, it's actually true.

The fact that a lot of cattle production does not do this is not proof that this is not possible.
1. Thanks! You are right Phoenix also great for APIs, and this story is pretty much baked as far as Phoenix specific features go. There's absolutely a place for SPAs, and the JavaScript ecosystem has number of great options. Anything requiring offline support is obviously out for LiveView, as well as highly complex UIs, tho that is pretty vague. For example, I wouldn't build Google Docs or Google Maps with LiveView, but as we've seen with Livebook, you can do a shocking amount of complex things with a LiveView application and a few escape hatches to JS. We're still finding out where the bounds are.

Our goal isn't to replace SPAs, but I do think we'll obviate them for a large class of applications.

2. VSCode with VIM keybindings. I bounce from vim/emacs/vscode (all w/ vim emulation), but vscode has stuck pretty well for the last couple years. Much to my chagrin, it's faster than terminal emacs.

3. No news quite yet, but we're working on it. Stay tuned!

This person uses a Fuji digital camera, but they don't mention what software they intend to use for photo editing. I shoot with the same camera and do a lot of hobby photography; one of the things that keeps me from seriously considering Linux for personal use is the lack of Lightroom/Capture 1 for editing photos. Are any of the Linux apps (Darktable, etc) reasonably intuitive/comparable in terms of features now?
In New Zealand, dairy cows, no. Probably 80% - 95%. Many, perhaps most, herds will be 100% pasture fed (grass/clover mix, or just grass.)

There is often supplementary feeding of palm kernel (the solid bits of palm oil seeds left over after the oil is pressed out) maize, and/or lucerne.

Beef cows, these days, yes, almost all. It's part of the branding the country's big meat packers are going for (100% grass fed).

One problem is that people are self-treating with it. Eyeballing measurements of medicine bought at a farm supply store and sticking it in your child's mouth isn't good.

Furthermore, enabling random unproven treatments is on the same level as saying we should stand by and support homeopathic treatments as a valid alternative to vaccines during a pandemic. We don't let people choose between a tetanus shot or a cup of green tea and olive oil when they step on a rusty nail. It doesn't make sense to let them choose between worm meds and a vaccine when it comes to covid.
My colleagues and I discuss, off and on, what it would be like to introduce chavruta learning to other domains. We dream of an environment like that for chemistry, physics, etc.

I think I've seen it develop in Math circles (two folks going at it on a blackboard for hours on end), but there's something really powerful about the format which doesn't seem prevalent elsewhere.

As many social systems evolve and optimize over time, Jewish Beit Midrash learning has evolved over millenia to be an effective educational tool, and I think (/hope/suspect) there's a lot which can be extracted from it and applied to other learning contexts.
A large part of the actual answer is that they are doing a build in for their first party services like Amazon Prime Video.

Those services don't want to be sent intercontinental because it's just an enormous amount of data, and they will incur back-haul charges. Same is true for customer multimedia services.

The other reason is data governance/sovereignty use cases. With a bit of ultra high latency on the side.

The easy answer would be to compare it to the first video games right? It gets better over time.

I think the right answer is that the space is so early, it's risky for established, great UX people to drop their comfy salary at an established company to work on a decentralized exchange. Once the incentives align better, the products will get better.

My hope is that in 5 years time the UX will be so good, we'll be able to get loans, provide LP and borrow against a variety of assets with our eyes closed.

Is it called a plug if you're not shilling your own stuff? Well, anyway, if you're interested in this, you might also want to check out the recorded talks from the recent RubyKaigi.

Specifically, there's two really interesting talks on JIT:

- @k0kubun's talk on why Ruby's JIT was slow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db3GHHllRyQ
This is about the MJIT engine built into MRI.

- @maximecb's talk on YJIT - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBVLf3yfMs8
This is closer to TFA, which as written in the README was an experiment the author worked on to get comfortable working on YJIT.

You can also check out the full con playlist here, but about half the talks in Japanese. They're pretty great, though, so if you do know enough Japanese to understand a bit, it might be worth your time. I personally recommend the opening keynote on Typeprof. The playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLeLW-p43bc&list=PLbFmgWm555...

The talks in this playlist are a bit out of order, so you can refer to the schedule: https://rubykaigi.org/2021-takeout/schedule

Not 100% but a very large majority of their feed would be fresh grass or silage[1]. If you can't make a profit feeding them grass why are you raising cattle? The economic calculus changes a lot if animal feedstock is highly subsidised like soy or alfalfa in the US but for all its many, many flaws the EU's common agricultural policy is mostly about things people want to eat.

[1] Less confident about this for Australia but I still think that's true.
Weaponizing Old Apple iOS Devices
Apple refuse to change their policy of forcing you to enter your macbook password into new iPads ... so anytime you want to plunder an Apple users account, all you need to do now is load a keylogger onto a rooted device, and "gift" it to them (you can't update iOS until after "activating" - entering your macbook password into it)...

It's always nice when Apple trains all their users to accept insecure computing practices for us :-)

While setting up my freshly-wiped (2nd hand from eBay) iPad today, it forced me to enter the master password for my Macbook, into my sketchy-2nd-hand iPad.

You know it is NEVER SAVE to require users to key password for anything, into something else.

This is an important security error, which makes it extremely easy for malicious actors to steal passwords from others.

The correct procedure for authenticating an iPad by using a Macbook - is for the user to login to the MACBOOK and approve a request - NEVER to key any macbook credentials into any potentially untrusted device.

An easy example for how anyone can steal someones password:-
a) obtain an older iOS device not using the current iOS,
b) exploit any of the flaws within to capture passwords and maintain persistence (this step cannot be later defeated, since (1) the user probably won't update before setting up, and (2) iOS cannot be updated until activated anyhow),
c) gift this to the victim

Please fix!

Also - I suggest you allow iOS updates without any kind of barrier, especially on new iPads, to further reduce the risks of the malicious gifting of compromised devices.
Considering Google has forfeited a lot of money over many years for resisting Chinese censorship I would say they're more trustworthy on this issue than Apple or Microsoft which have both publicly caved. The remnants of the "Don't be evil" culture is what allowed Dragonfly to be resisted. No such culture exists at Apple or Microsoft.

This is great but I've noticed newer regions do not have feature parity with older ones.

For example, me-south-1 and af-south-1 still do not support AWS DataSync fully automated transfers. When this feature has been announced, it was put into 16 regions. Why not all regions where AWS DataSync is available?

There is more. This is just last example I've noticed.

As a result, when building cross-region service on AWS, it's not enough to just check whether AWS product is available in desired region, you need to check whether every single feature you need within the product is available in desired region too.
It’s x86-64 only. A quick look at the https://github.com/tenderlove/tenderjit/blob/main/lib/tender... linked from the README reveals heavy references to x86-64 registers. The “Fisk” library used appears to be a x86-64 assembler in Ruby.

I guess that’s to be expected with “pure ruby” — all the cross-insn backends you can use (Cranelift, LLVM) are written in not-Ruby.
Have you considered adding support for other container systems like systemd-nspawn or Kata Containers?
Guessing Weta moving to AWS may have something to do with this.

Disadvantage of this is that the DAC in the echo dot is quite low quality. On a quality HiFi it doesn't sound very good. I started with this, and then moved to an Echo Link, which allowed me to output digital and then use the DAC in my amplifier, I may upgrade to an external DAC at some point, though I suspect I may have diminishing returns here, given the source is Spotify.
I'm not convinced that cattle ranching is always or necessarily the best use for much of that land, but I think the second point made was the more impactful one -- "growing animal feed." Much of _that_ land is either land that would be better suited for other purposes, or is land that we're intensely farming at high costs to the environment.
darkroom is kinda janky as OSS software tends to be, but the amount of control and the feature set is incredible. Nothing on the market comes close to it.

There is absolutely a they. There are many, many plausibly neutral choices involved in choosing how to collect and analyse data. There's no view from nowhere. Science is a process more than a result.
The real problem is that forest is not being economically valued for its carbon sequestration capability.

> The day that this complete protein tastes, looks, and behaves exactly like meat..might be the day it's accepted as a substitute

While I'm sure there are people who won't accept anything less than that, I suspect there are many more who, like me, would be quite happy with "fairly close" to meat instead of "exactly like". There are plant protein products on the market now that already meet that goal. Even if such products don't displace 100% of meat consumption, they might still make a huge dent in it.

> We’re mad that the Bidens profited from coverups

In the area of $1 billion from the CCP and Ukraine, with Hunter flying with Joe Biden on official business to those countries. The US was literally for sale.

Also, the Clinton Foundation took over $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, which stopped when Hillary lost the Presidential run.

> the Trumps haven’t ever benefited from the same type of coverup?

No financial benefit when in office.

> Do people really think Trump became a billionaire by just being a sweet person?

He inherited around $1 billion from his father, a major NY real estate developer.

> Do people really think that Trump hasn’t ever used his influence to squash a story or report that he didn’t like?

Not for monetary benefit.

The major incentive for Trump to run as President was patriotism. The major incentive for his Dem. opponents was wokeism and Marxism.
> Now if they can get the excessive salt content down...

As I understand it, that's not a necessary part of the process, it's just what fast food places like Burger King do to all their meat. I don't see why something like ground Impossible Burger meat substitute that was sold in a grocery store would need to have the same salt content that the BK version does.
The headline is part of the article. You could say “so you think you know better than the author” by quoting the body or “so you think you know better than the subject” by quoting the headline. Both are quoting the article to react to other parts of the article. The fact that the single most salient and most read part of the article sucks is plenty worthy of criticism.
I think that’s just more a result of the game style/architecture. I don’t think there’s much hidden state that’s not encoded into the map/entities, and even things like AI is I think ultimately preserved as a simple stack of pending tasks.

So being a proper simulation, and combined with the lack of replay, you can almost entirely discard the past events. The game is largely modeled as f(world-state, sim-rules) -> world-state, and so you simply take the old save and continue running it under the new simulation rules, and no one has to really care how many rule sets the world has seen. It only matters that they produced a valid world-state, every time.

would cause fewer problems than

I have no idea what you are proposing or what voting-with-your-wallet you think is possible right now. I see very very few options available to consumers that provide any long-term possibility of being supportable. To propose this as a rational choice that market consumers must consider, weigh, & make a decision on sounds ludicrous to me: there's no options to pick from, & telling consumers they must find the 0.000001% of devices that won't screw them over long term or else it's their own fault sounds perposterous. Please, be clearer: what do you think the options are here? To me, right to repair seems obvious & essential.

Thanks it looks neat. I'll check out your scripts - especially interested in the power draw part for myself. I had setup the 80% cycling before but that was on my n-1 installation and haven't had chance to put that back on.

I have a friend who I convinced to buy a Thinkpad and stick ubuntu 20.04 on it. Unfortunately he got a more expensive X1 one with an Nvidia Graphics card, it strangely overheats when he needs to charge it and plugs it into the AC. I suspect the power settings are all over the place. I've not had chance to get a log from him yet. How did you "power down" your nvidia card?
No, they're separate baseband chips with Qualcomm-designed Snapdragon ICs running Apple-signed firmware with their own build flavors of Qualcomm's RTOS. Apple has to verify that the fab produces the low-level hardware exactly as designed, but nothing is going to sneak into that firmware.
The "secondary processor exception" is abhorrent, it creates a perverse incentive for vendors who seek RYF to lock down firmware instead of leaving it open to reverse engineering and reimplementation by the community.

A better approach would be to require public documentation of which components are proprietary (for all processor ISAs, processors, other hardware, all firmware and all software) and what roles they play.
