TL;DR: sell your CA house, keep documentation on all ties you cut, CA tax board will come at you if you have money, and talk with a financial planner.

Other guides have a lot more detail (like being timely with and documenting moving, changes in auto registration, insurance, utility bills, etc., and prep about what CA’s legit about and what’s grasping).
Yes I agree. In fact Apple do that with the MacBook Air.

I’d like to see that mandated on all devices.
For the love of God, we do not want a government to be in charge of the innovation. When government declares specifically what technology is mandated then we can be quite certain that there will be no more progress in this area. For example why bother working on a better port than USB-C, if there is this new risk of not being able to even use it.
It'll be interesting to see what happens to gas stations. Part of what makes gas cars so popular is the easy ability to refuel, since stations are ubiquitous.

Once a tipping point is reached, most new homes will have the ability to charge cars, and old ones retrofitted, so people mostly charge at home. And gas stations will begin to dry up, making gas cars less desirable.

That same pattern should follow in every country, so it will be useful to have Norway as a data point on what actually happens.
Rimworld made me forget all my DF keyboard menu commands. From 2009 I had mastered DF keyboard shortcuts like a total maniac.

But then I discovered Rimworld, I bought it when it wasn't even on Steam yet so the author e-mailed the download link to you. But I stopped playing when they introduced a bunch of royalty, ESP and religion. Now I'm waiting for the new DF UI in Steam because I wouldn't want to re-learn all the shortcuts.
What amazes me is that we know HN is full of FB employees/devs.

How can someone work for a company that has such a history of doing or allowing dirty deeds, often suppressing the evidence.

Starting from the very top of Facebook, it is a completely amoral company.

Google, on the other hand, is just moreso just naive and seems to believe it can solve problems with AI, without human judgment or oversight.
Possibly. Larger containers may need to use thicker plastic to be more sturdy, so there's likely to be some trade-offs.
That may, but Apple broke a formerly working API. If Google can't figure it out, that's a signal.
(Author here) One photo had a bare NVME right after I installed it, before I put the heatsink on that came with the motherboard. This is my first NVME in a desktop; while I haven't done any storage benchmarks, I certainly don't find myself waiting much for anything to load. HDD --> SSD might have felt a more impressive change though.
I think some automotive holsters do this so you’re not plugging/unplugging it, but still using it for nav/music/handsfree calls.

Which is even more of a waste given the inefficiency of wireless charging and the kWh cost of electricity in an ICE.
Firefox and Chrome both had this feature first, Brave just inherited the feature as a consequence of being a fork of a better browser.
The standard financial tracking of cash, which is almost none? The standard financial tracking of a single bank account, which requires a subpoena? The standard financial tracking for a single person, which requires many requests to different data-holders and then a fair bit of work to unify it?

In contrast, Bitcoin has a public global pseudonymous ledger. No warrants needed, a copy is freely available. Letting you trace flows of money from account to account instantly with no vendor issues and no judge to convince. Sounds powerful to me!

The article's phrasing is both correct and reasonable. And the reason to not explain every detail in a general-audience article is that most people don't care about the details. If they did, they wouldn't be reading general-audience material, but more specialized stuff.
> long evenings make socializing outside so much better.

I agree, which is why would should move the clock backwards.

Right now, it’s impossible to be outside comfortably before 20:00 at the earliest. Having to get up early the next day means you can have 3, maybe 4 hours of socializing outside. Barely enough to have a decent BBQ.

If we moved the clock backwards you could be outside from around 18:00, so you’d have 5-6 hours of outdoor socializing time.

> we should stop trying to decide what's best for others, both by moving the clock forward and backward, and just use the closest full-hour approximation to solar time.

That’s fine and dandy, but my employer still expects me to be in the office at 9
> MacOS is strangely more customizable than a lot of things

Let's see... it lets you change accent colors, which puts it just ahead of my toaster but behind my car's infotainment dashboard in terms of customization. So you're not wrong, unless you're specifically talking about the context of operating systems.
If Facebook is responsible for the content users see on their site, how is Apple not responsible for the content users see on Safari? I really don't see how you can argue for banning the Instagram app while the Safari app still allows users to visit the Instagram website and view the exact same content.

Ultimately, this is the textbook definition of virtue signalling. Apple was never going to ban Facebook; they just want to let people know they oppose slavery (their own factories excluded of course).
Your analogy is that FB is like the park where an assault happens? So I assume you are saying that FB has no responsibility whatsoever?
Did they finally get rid of the can't charge very fast while the screen is on and gets hot enough to cook eggs while charging issues with QC5? Because at least with QC3 and previous that was a major issue.

> How can Safari be a defender of the free web, when iOS explicitly prohibits any other engine?

If you look at my post above you'll see that I mentioned that this is more or less voluntarily :)

Maybe it is not their intention at all but as long as they exist it makes it harder for Google to pull the carpet underneath the free web and ad blockers in particular.

> They are the new IE, in that they keep users hostage, but this time you can't even run a campaign to try to get users to use a new browser.

No. Safari might be annoying in a number of ways, but the "new IE" title goes to Chrome.

IE became the old IE not because they lagged behind from the start but because they "innovated" new non-standard features until they had crushed competition, then stopped development until their market share was rapidly shrinking because of both Firefox and Chrome.

If you don't think Google will stop Chrome development as soon as they have crushed competition and "sadly" had to kill adblock then we have different views of Google.

(Please note: I don't think individual engineers at Google will push this agenda but I am fairly sure that "maximize shareholder profit" will over the course of a few months or a couple of years push this agenda with a weight that will easily crush even the most idealistic team. See WhatsApp for a case study of how a company and an engineering culture I loved was crushed.)
Apple created very profitable side business of licensing its proprietary connector to anyone who wants to create an accessory to iPhones. Uber-strong commercial motivation will never incentivize Apple to do the right thing - which today is switch to USB-C. The amount of electronic trash that this side business generates has a huge tax on the environment, not to mention inconvenience and extra spend for iPhone users.

While government regulation is usually the road to hell paved with good intentions, nothing else will force Apple to do the right thing. So, I guess, we'll have to choose "lesser evil"?
It honestly feels strange that this hasn't arrived earlier.

Think about going back to every device having its own proprietary charger, as it was in early 2000s:

- mobile phone? branded charger, incompatible with everything else

- mp3 player? branded charger, incompatible with everything else

- boombox? branded charger, incompatible with everything else

- cordless phone? branded charger, incompatible with everything else

- cassette player? branded charger, incompatible with everything else

That was dumb.

With USB-c/thunderbolt able to do both power delivery and power-negotiation, there really is no honest reason to use a proprietary connector.
Good point! The motherboard I have apparently allows for this but it never saves? I tried playing with it for a week before giving up. Ultimately, I ended up dual-booting windows and using the official brand tool to do something to the motherboard to save the correct colors. Been working since, even when booting to linux.
Sadly too true still, but same with Nvidia, and even older gen stuff. Hopefully things improve, but at the very least would be helpful if manufacturers and stores had good bot measures, queuing, or some waitlist function for real humans.
When 640k was all you could reasonably buy as a consumer, it had to be enough for anyone if you wanted to own a computer at the time. It was never thought of as some fundamental limit that could not be broken or utilized in larger quantities, however.
Does anyone feel it is a little strange to have a government entity mandating a physical interconnect?

Yes, absolutely.
Exactly! Patents severely harm innovation by preventing iteration on an idea and competition by directly limiting it.
If you use a screwdriver or similar to open the socket covers (shove the screwdriver into the earth socket) then you can indeed use a CEE 7/7 in a UK socket.
Apple is holding Facebook accountable for the largely automated, but exclusively revenue-driven, decisions they make on whether to amplify or to suppress any given piece of information/content/advertising. It's insidious and goes beyond editorial control. They have the power to control the national dialogue.

Facebook signed up for this scrutiny when they decided that not all posts were equal. If all posts had an equal chance (i.e., were exclusively sorted chronologically) then I think this would be a very different conversation. But that's just not as profitable so `viva la sedition!`
It's a two iteration learning process, and this time they need to learn people don't want ads and telemetry. Windows 12 will be privacy first.
So apparently pointing out ridiculous claims is starting a religious flame war.
A street in my town (in Canada) already has 4 gas stations and there are 3 new ones being built. Granted, it is close to a major highway... but 7 gas stations in a 2km stretch seems crazy to me, especially given the (seemingly) inevitable shift to EVs.

Before Covid, every booth at every trade show would give you a free wall charger. Some of them were just 1-port 1A 5W throwaway, but also some better stuff, too.

I can't imagine buying a charger together with the phone is a thing. You either lose them nonstop, or you have so many of them you don't need anymore.
> The fact is Lightning is so widely used in practice that force deprecating it would drive an awful lot of kit into land fills.

An awful lot of kit is already going to landfills due to being rendered useless for depending on non-standard components to work. Personally I had to throw out a couple of phones because their chargers stopped working.

Also, it's not as if lightning-to-USB-C adapters are unheard of.

To top things off, even if we somehow assume that USB-C is unable to meet anyone's needs in a few years, and in the process ignore the fact that USB-A has been meeting all needs for some decades now, why would we jump to the conclusion that whatever port format comes next it will be technically impossible to get it to work with USB-C, or offer it in parallel with USB-C?
Okay, so the app's running.

Except the app is remote-controlled by a malicious “display driver” that waits for the user to do all this authentication set-up, transfers the money away, “are you sure”s it, then prevents the user from seeing any of the on-phone scam warnings until it's too late to reverse the transaction.
It doesn't upset me - you're thinking of the other commenter, I think.

I was just clarifying a little.
I don't get it.

Apple went all-in with USB-C on their computers (starting 5 years ago with the macbook pro). And that was a pretty unpopular decision at the time.

Now that the mobile phone industry has standardized on USB-C, they want to stick with lightning? Are they doing it just to be contrarian?
The saddest bit of that is that mobile app stores would not exist if it weren't for the web. The only reason we got smartphones was to browse the web on the go.
Amazon tried to make their own phone and failed. And they already had an "app store" ecosystem with their Kindle Fire tablets. If Amazon can't make it work with all it's advantages, I don't see Epic succeeding starting from scratch...

> Charles Doyle of the University of Georgia, my coauthor on the forthcoming Yale Book of Modern Proverbs, has found that this expression is now commonly applied to economic or diplomatic crises that can be exploited to advance political agendas, but he traced it back at least as far as 1976, when M. F. Weiner wrote an article in the journal Medical Economics entitled “Don’t Waste a Crisis — Your Patient’s or Your Own.” Weiner meant by this that a medical crisis can be used to improve aspects of personality, mental health, or lifestyle.

I obviously was not saying you made it up, quite the opposite. I was accusing you of parroting a proverb you thought sounded smart and edgy but never gave any serious thought to, and ridiculing the idea that anyone actually follows this proverb.

I understand Apple's decision to do this. They want to stick it to Epic. Completely understandable desire on Apple's part. But, sadly, Apple is letting their desire to get vengeance outweigh the interests of their users in having all the games they want to play on their devices.

I have been realizing lately that my loyalty to Apple has been waning over the years after having invested heavily in the ecosystem. This is another representation to me of how Apple's ecosystem is something you have no control over, and you are at the whim of Apple's legal team in situations like that to be able to play the games you want to play on your devices.

Apple remembered their corporate games they were playing and forgot who their real customer and focus should be: the end users. This decision doesn't benefit their end users in any meaningful way. It hurts end users to score points in their feud with Epic.
> You just listed how Apple is not acting like a government: they’re retaliating.

Responsible governments doesn't retaliate, oppressive governments tend to retaliate a lot. So you are right, Apple isn't acting like a responsible government, but the argument was that it is acting like an oppressive one.
And more food would get discarded and wasted. If one wanted to buy 1.5kg+ tomatoes, one would today. But people don’t.
I think the author misunderstands the Italians' attitude (based on the people I chatted to while I was there recently). The "novaxers" as they're called are seen as dangerous kooks, and would lose a popularity contest against… against almost anything.

The laws aren't seen as dangerous to liberty, but rather as a defense of it, in the sense that practical liberty was significantly constrained during the lockdowns and the kooks are risking another corona wave.
I feel like it’s an overstep too. I don’t feel comfortable with bureaucrats determining which technology we should use.

Going to stick my neck out, and some might say this is just a slippery slope fallacy, but should governments mandate choice of programming languages? It would certainly help interoperability and longevity of code - just like with connectors.

Anyway on an emotion level it just feels wrong.

OC can afford good corporate housings most people can’t. I am very sure OC’a median rent apt is great, but it is only made available, by corporations, to those that can provide the biggest profit margin. Also, OC fails to even consider the long term price impact of privatization of the housing supply. The bubble is large.

> I would argue slavery in the US was far less brutal than that of the ancient Arab world and Rome

And your evidence to support that is..?

There were essentially no limits to the brutality that could be inflected on a slave in the US, so any brutality that you find in the ancient world is easily matched by a brutality inflected in the US.
> meaning most people would lose an hour of daylight, and one of the best things about living so far north.

I disagree completely. I’m not that far north (the Netherlands) but in the middle of summer it usually too hot to be outside until after sunset. You’d lose a useless hour of daylight and gain an hour of comfortable twilight/nighttime.

Are dongles for audio actually noticeably more power-hungry than a wired connection?

The device is still a digital audio device, requiring a DAC for output and an ADC for input to connect to your analog headphones and microphone. I don't see why putting the DAC and/or ADC in a dongle would use more power than putting them in the device.

I'd argue that the DAC and/or ADC are best placed as close to the headphones and mic as possible. If I'm using very high quality headphones or mics I'm going to want a very high quality DAC/ADC. If I'm using low quality headphones or mics I'm fine with a lower quality DAC/ADC.

With the DAC/ADC built into the device I'm either limited by the quality the device maker chose or am paying for more than I need.
Because Facebook amplifies or suppresses all content based on revenue implications. You're not seeing user content as submitted by users. A post with 10 likes from a day ago will be presented ahead of a post with 15 likes from 20m ago if Facebook thinks it has a better chance of getting you to engage (i.e. infuriates you because it's ludicrous misinformation)

Apple doesn't make revenue based on some StumbleUpon-like Safari experience where they dictate the content in your Safari window.
I think we're interpreting that in different ways. I'm assuming you read it as something like "words can't be used to communicate (knowledge)", which you're seeking to disprove by showing me that I only gained that knowledge through Wittgenstein's words. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That's not what I meant though. I meant that words are like signs; they point at the real thing. We must be careful not to confuse the sign for the thing itself. We can't simply rearrange words and assume that what this new sign, this new combination of words points to, is "real". Not all words or sentences point to anything, or anything meaningful. And the trap we sometimes fall into (as philosophers especially?) is assuming that they always mean something.

Edit: First the thing exists, then we use a word to refer to it. The mistake is reversing that, by thinking that by creating new words or combinations of words, we can bring something into existence.
> but try explaining the differences to your parents.

Wheh my Boomer parents first got computers as adults, the number of radically different cables with the same connectors (especially DB9 or DB25) on the end was dizzying, as well as the set of different connectors, and remembering what each was for (or attaching tape and labelling whatever wasn’t the most common function with the same combination of connectors) was the norm. That's also been true (though the set of common connectors has evolved) for most Gen-X and early “Oregon Trail generation” Millenials.

“Almost every cable is USB A to USB micro-B and fully interchangeable” was such a narrow slice of time that it's really only going to dominate your parents experience if they were late Millenials or early Gen-Z.
Also, once you've got per-user encryption on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys you'll need some other mechanism for users to log in.

And don't think of having the users do their own backups - locking users' home directories mean they won't be able to run their own cron jobs.
But not Safari?
