To make the analogy accurate it would need to be stipulated that this brick and mortar store is the only place that customers can go to buy products.

edit: I wouldn't even say "two chains" like a sibling comment suggests because the reality is that customers have to invest hundreds of dollars on an exclusive membership to one or the other, picking and choosing from both is not an option.
A potential solution: give large monetary awards to people who prove that a bridge isn't built or maintained properly, that an airplane is faulty, etc. This will ensure people are properly incentivized to do it correctly in the first place, and that somebody is likely to look into the matter.
Your math seems suspect. You also appear to have a slant. The result is a reluctance to take your perspective seriously.

Apple lost their exclusivity on in-app-payments:

> Rogers issued an injunction that said Apple will no longer be allowed to prohibit developers from providing links or other communications that direct users away from Apple in-app purchasing.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/10/epic-games-v-apple-judge-rea...

So Apple didn't "lose" their 30% exactly, but everyone is now free to do what Fortnite originally did and that's link to their own site for users to buy in-app currency instead. It's likely all but certain that every game with IAP will be deploying this over the next few months.
Except that it's not. The ruling clearly stated that Apple has to allow other payment providers inside the apps, but obviously anything sold on the App Store can still attract the 30% payment fee.

In your example, it's like if you bought a TV from Walmart, took it home, and then any content you wanted to buy on that TV had to have a 30% fee paid to walmart since....that's where you bought it originally? It doesn't make sense there, and it doesn't make sense here. When epic sells you a fortnite skin within fortnite, apple provides literally no value to this transaction, other than being a gatekeeper between two legitimate sides wishing to engage in a business transaction - so that's why Epic wanted to make sure they can process their own payments within the app(and the court has agreed).
Yeah. Also, when I'm doing thinking work, I'm definitely more productive when I'm on my feet and in the fresh air.

There's wisdom to the idea of not mixing business and pleasure, and maintaining work/life boundaries. But I don't think that the principle is meant to imply that a joyless working environment is the secret to a happy life.
No, I agree social media is awful. I was talking about your rhetoric being divisive. Notably with use of words like "regime" which is often used to describe authoritarian governments. No matter what you think of our particular government in the US, it is not authoritarian and I suspect if you ever actually lived in a location where that was the case you'd still realize there's far more good about the US government than there is bad.

But hey, you can keep blaming me for your shortcomings, that's what religious people like to do.

I think with blanket statements like this it's important to define sophisticated.

I'm of course not talking about social engineering or fooling the user into typing their password on a fake system, since this is preventable.

Produce is mostly made out of natural gas and diesel, not plastic.

Those plants aren't going to fertilize themselves LOL.

As with most greenwashing announcements, the net result will be increased, not decreased, environmental damage. Burn more diesel planting and transporting food, make more fertilizer out of natgas, then wash it into rivers to cause algae blooms and dead zones...

The other environmental effect will be decreasing the amount of fresh produce poor people have access to, eventually resulting in higher profits for health care industries. Think of it like an investment in turning pain and suffering into profit.
I guess the OP must have been thinking of client certificates, which are as rare as rocking-horse shit.
Just wanted to add that this is generally referred to as the "Evil Maid" scenario in case someone wants to Google it.

It can be mitigated somewhat with secure boot, tpm technologies etc but due to the breadth of possible attacks it's really hard to do against a serious attacker.

I know, I've developed with timezone logic for international settings, I've even dealt with international tax logic which is far worse. However timezones, although they are geographical, are also social and political constructs, hence why all of China is under one timezone (China Standard Time) even though it spans 5 geographical time zones. Daylight savings time is also a political invention (there is no such thing as a 23-hr day existing, yet it exists in Daylight Savings Time, which again makes coding assumptions weird if you really need precise timezone logic which I ended up needing, take that with the fact that only certain countries implement DST and you will have a great time coding for international times). I'm suggesting removing the political timezones (those times were added for productivity and workers or legacy reasons, but really we no longer work on farms and factories all the time now) from timezone logic and go by geographical timezones so we don't have to estimate timezones and time by grabbing your current city and then comparing it a list of cities and then figure out the timezone that way.

Hello another tzdata update....
As I understand it, lowering the interest rate is one of the few tools the Fed has at its disposal. Their goal is to always be raising the rate as long as it does not cause disruptions, so they have something to lower in the future.
You're describing a 'field-programmable analog array' (FPAA), the analog equivalent of an FPGA.
I don't agree. If you are good-looking you should go for it.

It's not the job applicant's job to eliminate bias. Countless studies show that looking sharp matters, in the workplace, over zoom, in interviews, in personal contacts with friends and family, etc. Your photo is going to be on your id badge, your profile at work, your social media profiles, your Github, etc. Why not on your resume?

Racial bias based on photos is something THE EMPLOYER needs to fix with standards, metrics, and quotas, etc. It's not meant to be something to coerce everyone into no longer showing their faces in the workplace.
> its keepers are biased as well

More biased than average, in my observation. Often much more.
They tried the light-touch approach for years (i.e. the previous rulings), and it has improved things but Apple insists in, basically, respecting only the letter of the law and not the spirit - and they are a third of the market. So this time, the Commission came up with a stricter approach.

> it’s an order of magnitude more difficult to change that legislation

The previous attempt is from 2009. A review every 10-15 years or so is not that difficult, when there is widespread political agreement on consumer matters.

> Lastly, is interoperability even a problem?

Before the EU committees stepped in, the market was a jungle of custom adapters. You don't remember the last time you had a problem partially because they forced the market to stop with shenanigans, and most manufacturer complied at least in the most visible sector (phones - stuff like watches is still a jungle, but they are less popular and definitely not as essential as phones). Some convergence was already happening but EU rules accelerated adoption and ensured it would happen across the board. Only Apple insisted in ignoring the spirit of the decision, so this is meant to force their hand somewhat to play ball (while also giving them something, since the unbundled charger was at risk of being challenged as anti-consumer).

> Similarly, are these chargers a major source of e-waste?

Yes.

> And how much of that is this legislation going to change?

More than the alternative of doing nothing.
And this is why I refuse to give Apple any money whatsoever (also Microsoft for past shenanigans). User freedom matters. At least on Android, you can sideload apps (very easily too these days) if Google (or Samsung or Huawei or whichever app store you have) decides to ban an app. And Linux of course is completely free.
I disagree. You might think "gee, why should I do anything to help when no one else is?", but some of us have different philosophies.

> IMHO, the cost-benefit ratio for splitting the system isn't good enough.

If one is born in the US, it's quite difficult to leave. Even if you leave, it's a long process to become a citizen elsewhere and give up your US citizenship.

But one who chooses to work at Facebook (and reads HN) must know what goes on there; and they could choose a different, more ethical company.

The police provide necessary services. Facebook does not provide a necessary service. Some would argue that they prevent other, better services from existing because of their critical mass and financial means. So while plenty of bad things are done by some police, the service has value. Ethics aside, the value of Facebook is very marginal based on many studies.
This is what happened with the straws kerfuffle. We are absolutely willing to give up things that we don't care much about. Like what is alluded to, we don't really want to have to consume less, which would have far reaching consequences beyond plastic.
Agreed, they’re consistently excellent on all issues. One minute you’re learning about Chinese domestic policy, the next you’re going deep on advances in particle physics. And they’re underrated for their humour —- occasionally there’s a bone dry joke in there.

Probably part of what makes it great is that journalists don’t put their names on their columns. Articles are pretty much all written with the same rigorously specific tone, and if they share an opinion they make it clear that’s what they’re doing and they generally do so on behalf of the magazine. It’s about the journalism, not anyone’s Twitter following.
> Italy has different ones (Type L)

Non-ancient sockets in Italy are _bipasso_, meaning they accept both the 16 and 10 A variants of the Type L, and the 10A variant is compatible with the Europlug, making it really a non issue. In households you'll also likely find Type-L compatible Schuko (usually) sockets for higher power devices, or even combo sockets that can work as two _bipasso_ or one Schuko.

So in the end standardization ended up working anyway and no one is struggling because of this (also standards about wire gauges made extension cords safe to use)
And not just software, _everything_ is updated quite regularly because of technological advances and changing preferences: cars, clothes, beverages, laws, ...
The court made that decision under the existing legal framework. That does not mean, nor even imply, that the existing legal framework is fair & just nor that it has kept up with modern structures.
It doesn’t. But it’s almost certainly the cheapest way to assess it; doing it at point of sale would be far more fuss and administration.
> It's adorable that CA thinks that manufacuters will be the ones bearing this cost.

Its adorable that you think that a activist groups having enough money (ballot signature gathering up to the small minority needed to qualify a ballot measure is pretty tightly correlated with spending on the purpose) to qualify a ballot measure says anything about what California thinks.

Also, adorable that you think that the measure’s authors thinking that manufacturers are the most efficient place to collect the a Pigovian tax on plastic packaging says anything about who will bear the cost; the point is to make the use of the packaging more expensive to influence consumer behavior away from products with it, of course consumers bear the cost (though not exclusively.)
I do actually agree with these points, lightning is the better connector, but it's proprietary and the other one is a widely used standard, so what are ya gonna do
Seems like LaTeX also gives you unavoidable bias.

Also, you can avoid racial bias, it's not something impossible to remove. Your workplace should have standards which eliminate racial bias and not rely on people to not have implicit bias.

So have one drive with FDE and a USB drive with /boot but in no explicit way configured to boot the first drive?

Or maybe a better setup is an internal drive with /boot and a system stripped from sensitive files then somewhere in the drive an hidden partition (not sure how to avoid the vanilla OS overwriting the hidden partition), then you can either boot the vanilla OS or map the hidden partition and boot from it.

In March of 2000 the Internet was available to roughly 5% of the population. In March of this year it was about 65%.

Yep. Personally, I want a free and open internet. Mainly because I've noticed a trend where social media sites have started censoring anything except far-left opinions.
I use shreddit whitelisting a handful of subreddits that talk about programming (where I think my comments are useful) otherwise I see Reddit as ephemeral.

Reddit has started to throttle it's API though and I have a feeling they will eventually prevent comment deletion.

What I really want is the ability to disconnect the link between my account and a comment (currently you need to delete the entire account to do this). If I could do that I'd most of them up instead of deleting them.

I have previously had a test run on Guix on an old laptop with 1GB of ram, but it was clearly not powerful enough, as a guix pull could take 2-3 days (!) to complete. I guess I'll revisit it in a few months on a more powerful computer (an leave my old one with Alpine)

> how far down the stack does it go?

There are no hard rules, just values and precedents. If I were to summarize the precedent, it would be a three-prong test: Do you know about the behavior? Do you contribute to it? Do you have the power to stop it?

If (1) and (2), we're at the Nuremberg threshold. That is, if the crime at hand rises to that of crimes against humanity, (1) and (2) alone should be enough. If it doesn't rise to that level, test (3) comes into question. "Stop" is an ambiguous term, as is "crimes against humanity," so there is a lot of subjectivity here.

But to take your analogy, no, a San Francisco warehouse worker at Cisco wouldn't be culpable for e.g. their CFO bribing a foreign official. A content buyer at Instagram isn't responsible for the slave ads. But engineers deploying the ad systems, incentivized by ad metrics? Business development? Any executive at Facebook? Somewhat to totally culpable.

Yeah, no more 5.25" drivers, but honestly I haven't used my DVD drive in the previous computer in a very long time. I'll probably get an enclosure or external one for the rare CD ripping I do.

"Underutilized CPU"? It is not a server, but I do plenty of compiling and other CPU tasks. Water cooling is efficient and quiet too, so why not?

(Perhaps you've assumed a fan setup here, but I think I've configured them sensibly.)

"Over-stressed GPU...poorly air cooled"? I'd love a water block and custom loop, but that is outside of what I want to do/spend money on. The bottom fans are intake (as are the side radiator fans, the rear and top are exhaust). The GPU fans are off unless I'm playing games as it stays cool enough. And when I do play I don't notice any noise, no throttling, ... is well cooled I'd say.
