It is reasonable to believe Apple builds a better phone. While I can't speak for the mass of Apple customers, it seems unlikely that they secretly want the European Commission to design their phones.

This is a bad decision, because:

1. The European Commission doesn't have the time or resources to make consistently good decisions about phone design. It is a minor miracle that Apple managed to gather enough talented people together in one spot to give us the iPhone. The EU can't replicate that level of ability (observe the quite remarkable failure of EU phone manufacturers).

2. If (when, really) technology improves, progress will be slowed.

3. Heaven help us if we need a bureaucratic response to protect indifferent customers from nonuniform chargers. There are actual problems in the world they could be focusing on.
To add to it, Civ 1 graphics are actually quite beautiful in a pixel art way. With Civ 3, you could use for example a watercolor art pack for the terrain, which was great. And still very legible.

The 3d art just looks like a console game aesthetic - it's extremely kitschy - I guess I'm just not in the target demographic.

Makes you wonder why this was not properly done 10 years ago.

It’s like, on one side we pay taxes to people who build roads and maintain databases and maps of what they have built (the government)

On the other side, we (indirectly) pay for Google to run around with car to re-map everything as if the data did not exist in the first place.

Seems quite inefficient, no?
Congratulations on an interesting family then!

I guess the public will eventually learn some things. Personally, I'm not so much concerned about technology that I don't see as much as about technology that is cheap and effective enough to be out there: remote controlled sniper rifles, bomb-dropping drones, chemical weapons.
My biggest gripe with lab-grown meat is the use of processed vegetable oils for fat. That stuff is killing us. The military-ag-industrial complex - which continues to obliterate our soil health and disperse roundup/glyphosate as far as the eye can see - is the nucleus of all of our health problems.
Most of the more populist news & podcasters tell you where to go. I can easily follow a link on their website.

In contrast, go to CNN or MSNBC, you won’t find any links off their website. Their sources are “anonymous” as well, so real sources are more difficult.
You can break anything if you try hard enough. I make no claims of lightning being indestructible, but USB-C is genuinely fragile.
I think it helps against dust getting stuck inside though.

Also, more ports on USB-C make for better "alternate mode" functionality, where some data lanes are re-purposed (with an analog mux) for another use, like displayport, or audio DAC.

So you're saying that Apple won't be forced to comply with the anti-steering ruling because Epic's appealing, even though Apple didn't appeal? (and seemingly indicated that they won't) So Apple can indefinitely keep the anti-steering provision, until all appeals are exhausted? That would make sense.

Otherwise, I believe the court gave Apple 90 days to comply, and I can't see anything in Epic's letter that shows they want to be let back in immediately, so I'm unsure what this changes.

edit: I base my idea that "Apple hinted that they won't appeal" from this: https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/17/22679724/tim-cook-epic-ap..., and also based on the fact that Apple, in practice, didn't lose anything (they can still force devs to pay 30% on "steered" purchases made through the dev's website). But it seems some lawyers believe it's possible Apple will still appeal, so I shouldn't have been so definitive.
Perhaps the more interesting question is whether or not it can extend helo service.
I love lightning for this exact reason. It’s very difficult to break the actual port in the phone by design.

Because it's an unusual spelling. It's a latinisation of the German surname Fuchs (after the botanist Leonhart Fuchs) and is neither pronounced consistently with the surname (Fooks) nor spelled consistently with other words containing the same "sh" phoneme rendered as "sch".

I think you have a point. They should adopt a pricing strategy similar to Jetbrains where they have a non-transferable cheap individual license that can be used commercially, and a more expensive version for enterprise.

I believe many React Native, Electron and other hybrid solutions are made by people like me, who don't want to spend huge amounts of money to test an unknown piece of tech. These people also make recommendations to the companies they work for, which would actually afford to buy these licenses.

Why not think of a "discount" as part of the marketing budget? How much money do they spend on marketing and sales to get new customers? They will get new developers who will improve the branding and gain new "leads" organically.

This is true for AirPlay, but not really for Google Cast: While a Cast-capable device is required to initially launch Spotify, the Spotify Cast app is a full-featured Spotify Connect client.

For example, you can launch Spotify on a Google Home and control it from any device logged in to the same account, regardless of whether it understands the Cast protocol, is on the same network etc.

I suspect that once Spotify offers HomePod support, the situation might look somewhat similar for AirPlay (since being able to continue streaming with your phone out of battery etc. is possible on Apple Music on a HomePod already).
Even charging from cable to cable is completely different. But I do not believe at all that regular people do not ever have the need to connect their device to a computer. They might not most of the time, but that one time they do they'll be kicking themselves over it.

Also, $40 per cable is completely and utterly ridiculous. That's 5-8% of monthly salary of Bulgaria (EU country) for a short cable.
The daughter of a coworker of mine has an elementary-school friendship with a blind girl. When she wanted to write a letter to her, I embossed the text for her, because, you know, I can write braille. I was told the little girl was very thrilled to receive a piece of paper she could actually read. But I guess this sort of human interaction isn't worth the effort, right? :-( Sad to read your attitude.
If you want to save state for the counter to the server you would do a round trip. Otherwise you’d use some light weight JS lib, most popular one for simple interactions is Alpine.js.
So simple ui JavaScript use Alpine and something like form validation and showing errors will do a round trip and save you writing validation twice (on the client and on the server).

Also, we don't pick the time we start or finish work based on what the clock says, although the weather definitely has quite a lot of input!

Instead of moving the clock an hour forward in summer, we should move it back an hour, at least here in northern Europe. Call it Moonlight Saving Time.

In summer the days get very long and with rising temperatures it's just not comfortable outside until later in the evening. At night, it takes a while for things to cool down and be comfortable enough to sleep. DST makes the problem worse by moving the clock forward.

Beef is the main target here, it has much greater carbon intensity, it is responsible for methane, and it uses a huge amount of land and feed for a single serving of beef. It's just a highly inefficient process to get beef. If we focus all our efforts there, we'll yield the greatest outcome.
You don't have to know the actual speed to say, "whatever the (classified) speed was, we will double it".
Ok, so the trade off is a less snappy UI as soon as you have a state, because you can't do optimistic updates on the view, send the request, then deal with the error.

But you write only the code of the validation, and the vue, once, so it's more productive, and the state is always consistent.

I assume this means no PWA mode, although I don't really miss this.

Not really comparable. Apple could both innovate and comply by having two charging ports, one EU approved and one Lightning. Come to think of it, I would love a phone like that — maybe government intervention can force innovation.
I’m always amused at people who upgrade to the latest phone regularly and then keep it in a bulky case. Around iPhone 5, I switched to buying 1-year old used phones about every 2-3 years and enjoying them without a case.

Only non-minor damage I’ve suffered is I broke the volume down button (the spring behind it, really) on my Xs Max. Minor scratches I don’t care about. I’m pretty amazed at how durable the phones actually are and, if I break one now, it’s probably an $85 screen and an hour of my time or worst case a $400-600 replacement phone.
> So you never travel?

No. Why would I ?
> The male lightning connector is a single flat piece; the female connector is a hole with the contacts on the top + bottom of the port.

Which means that the part which wears over time (the springs) is on the port instead of the cable.

On USB-C, the springs are all in the cable; the port is a single flat piece (the tab in the middle) surrounded by a metallic shield.
This is good as it will end up an example of what a government product looks like. Soon outdated and inadequate, and the only thing available--infinite wisdom, stifling innovation.

Sounds like a good idea, but probably not. However, this also looks like a "problem" they feel capable of solving, so that makes the idea more attractive when their world is littered with real, difficult problems yet unaddressed.
Yes, indeed and we'll probably do that after publication. It probably also opens us to accusations of mishandled data / bad interpretation by the company, though?
It depends on your definition of "top speed": on the Blackbird and other supersonic aircraft, higher speeds mean higher temperatures. It's possible to sprint for a short time and absorb some of the excess heat, but have a lower limit for continuous operation. The shorter the duration, the higher the speed.

There is very big, fundamental problem of flying at mach 4+ anywhere in the atmosphere: heat from aerodynamic friction > heat dissipated.

For a reusable craft, it will mean big disposable heat shields.

>> Also, $40 per cable is completely and utterly ridiculous. That's 5-8% of monthly salary of Bulgaria (EU country) for a short cable.

That's why you don't buy a $40 usb cable for charging. You don't need all the pins in usb-c standard for all purposes. You can have a few USB-C cables for various purposes. Fully-implemented ones are easy to identify, just by their weight difference really.

>> Even charging from cable to cable is completely different. But I do not believe at all that regular people do not ever have the need to connect their device to a computer. They might not most of the time, but that one time they do they'll be kicking themselves over it.

I wouldn't say they will be kicking themselves over it. If they really cared and knew about transfer speeds of different cables, they would be one to invest in a better cable ahead of time.
If they didn't know about those details, they will have no surprises to begin with. Because it works on par with USB2.0 at least.

I've got ~40 hours a week during which I have to work, and right now I have to spend them stuck in a chair.

Outside of that time, particularly on weekdays, I'm generally pretty busy with house and child care. That means that my time for just walking in the forest generally has to be crammed into the weekends. Usually on no more than one day per, since, on the weekends, even if I've got nothing else keeping me busy, I've still got to convince a couple other people who would much rather just play in the yard to come with me before I can go. And then, even if we have done that, I still can't really daydream much, since I've got to pay attention to and manage them.

Not so much the work time, though. A lot of it is spent sitting and thinking and reading and taking notes. The only thing about those tasks that's tying me to a place is the awkwardness of doing them while ambulatory, and that's really just an equipment problem. With the right tooling, that could happen anywhere. I wouldn't even need to sit or stand still to do it. Which means that I could perhaps get much more time walking in the forest than is otherwise possible. I could perhaps even make it a daily thing rather than a once-a-week-if-I'm-lucky thing.
late reply, but I know for Google they're required to start participating in interviews to be promoted to L4 (?) and above, whether they have interest in it or not. Maybe there is a disproportionately harsh performance penalty for recommending someone for hire that shouldn't be hired, vs the other way around, and the easiest way to "tick the box" for the promotion is to do the interviews and reject everyone (unless they're seriously impressive).
Maybe, I don't know enough about this, but I've been using this veracrypt disk on 6 machines, now, and I have the problem with each of them.

Also, I don't have any problem with non encrypted data.

I am not totally convinced with insect farms. Creating food in the ocean has a unique aspect of not using land, which would allow for more of those carbon binding trees. With 71% of earth being covered in water there is a lot of unused space.

Promising technology from aquaculture are algefarming which can be used for carbon capture or ecological alternative for animal feed, seaweed farming which can either be used directly in human diet or as animal feed, molluscs, shellfish and fish farms. Some shellfish are already heavily involved in water treatment and water quality control.

Insect farms in comparison seems more limit in use, and harder in terms of cultural change. There has already existed plenty of cultures that have depended on the ocean for their diet, similar to cultures in the past which primarily depends on vegetarian diet. All that might be required for a cultural shift is a nudge in the right direction with economical incentives.
Maybe the government should get involved. Is there a model that could do for lab grown meat what DARPA did for computer networking and VLSI chips?

> Some corners of the community tried (unfortunately successfully to some degree) to paint TPMs/Trusted Computing/SecureBoot as generally evil technologies that stop us from using our systems the way we want. That idea is rubbish though, I think.

It's not as rubbish as the author wants to think. Just look at the current state of Android SafetyNet attestation - a myriad of apps refuse to run entirely (banking apps, games) or with reduced quality (Netflix) on unlocked bootloader / rooted systems. There are workarounds but these are a) a constant cat-and-mouse game and b) the only known workaround against online SafetyNet attestation (pretending that the device does not have a TrustZone element, forcing SafetyNet to Basic attestation) is bound to fail as soon as Google is reasonably certain that there is no hardware floating around that has the latest Android but no TrustZone element.

Additionally, look at what happened to Microsoft's ARM adventures. Locked down to the point of being utterly useless, on top of MS not providing a Rosetta equivalent.

The problem is that here the interests of hackers (who either want as-open-as-reasonably-possible devices or, like the author, as-secure-as-possible devices) and big corporate interests (who want to keep license holders happy like Netflix, want a way to reduce successful "my device got pwned, someone stole my money, refund me!!!" claims like banks or fight against cheaters) collide in a position that's hard to make something decent out of.
