Until Apple decides to use some dark-patterns to make you activate iCloud in a moment of inattentiveness. At that point, your own CDs and other data might be wiped from your computer, as has already happened to people.

Oh man. Lack of proper debugging and diffing is a _huge_ problem with jupyterlab notebooks. In several cases I've seen, data scientists don't even realise that these tools exist.

I know VS Code has been making progress recently but a good jupyter competitor with some halfway decent software development features would be a game changer.
Meat is not a problem, and it doesn't need to be "solved". You are the carbon they want to reduce, don't let them.
You could say the same about any other service work. If I have the internet guy come out there's probably 50 admin job positions that bill for that time too. Internally they bill the installation department. Hospitals are just complaining to make it seem more complicated than it actually is.

Wouldn't need to purchase new hardware and "fundamentally overhaul your technical life" to the exact same extent in order to switch to the Apple system?

Ok but this is just another variation on a dialog. You're describing another dialog that asks you to input a passphrase.

>I can see why if you think I was talking about mobile. I'm not, I'm talking about desktop personal computing.

I suspect these concepts will make their way to the desktop eventually. Drag and drop is pretty bad for a lot of things because it has poor discoverability. And auto-saving/auto-backup with version control is way more desirable in most situations than having to keep hammering Ctrl+S.

>I am not aware of a single mobile OS that comes with a file browser.

Well my Android phone has one built in. Here it is on the play store if your build doesn't have it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...

But even on iOS you would just open the "photos" or "docs" or "music" app or similar and that will let you browse all files of that type and open it in any app that handles it.

>Le sigh... only because that's the expectation they've been trained to have.

No no, this is not how it is. You have to assume the user has no expectations at all and has no understanding of what the security model is in any way. So you have to explain it to them, if you want to make this fool-proof then you can do it either through some dialogs, or forcing them to go through a tutorial or some other help feature. Just throwing them into an app that isn't functional until you press some unknown buttons outside the app isn't training them.

>Dear god why would I want to do that automatically? Does Office throw up a dialog telling users how to save a file when they first start it up? Or how to copy and paste?

I haven't used a fresh install in a while but yes, I believe the first thing Office does is pop up a dialog offering help, tips and tutorials. Why wouldn't it? It's a complex program, you wouldn't expect everyone to understand everything about it on first glance. Edit: I just tried to make a new file in a new account in Office 365 and it basically does this exactly, it shows some dialogs explaining that files are stored in the cloud, and how files can be copied and shared to other users.

>No, they're expected to understand some basic concepts of how to use the computing environment they're working in already. Treating all users like illiterate idiots is a practice that continues to prevent us from having nice things.

Please make sure not to assume that everyone has the same computer knowledge or interest that you and I do. This is a common mistake I see among techies. Unaware users aren't being treated like idiots, it's not their fault they don't understand the way a computer was designed.

While in principle I agree with so much that the author has said,I think they miss a large advantage of social media,at least for my digital life: I am an author and I use social media to advertise my writing. I also run across cool tech, and I share that. I also use Twitter as a source of links to reading material and open source projects.

I use https://freedom.to to only allow access to social media during a few short pre-specified times during the day.

I'm talking about the x-ray, nothing more and nothing less. If they have a broken foot and need a cast, the cast should be an estimatable line item based on where it's broken, age/gender/size of the patient, and materials used. If a doctor has put a cast on 1,000 broken feet on men aged 12-16, they should have a very good idea of the material and time it will take and the number of nurses or whatever else they need to put it on.
Here here. People at the FDA should be resigning over them banning the COVID vaccine for kids under 12, for example. But we don't see behavior like that.

It's just a sign that the FDA is so horribly broken, it probably can't be recovered.

One note that I think would be important is that we should stop using the term "approved" or "not approved" and instead used "banned" or "not banned", as this is a more clear way to describe the situation. For example, in Sep 2020, it was completely obvious that taking a covid vaccine if you were elderly was dramatically better than waiting for COVID. But you could not, because the government said no. It didn't matter how informed you were, how much your doctor would agree, the answer was no. You go to jail if you try to take it. That should be called "banned".
If I could find them, maybe. The ones worth reading mostly link to…longer pieces. The Guardian has plenty of other stories that follow the inverted pyramid, and they serve as a gatekeeper for filtering out the rest of Twitter.

Point me towards a “simple facts” version, and I’ll submit that link instead. This is the first I have heard of it, and I want to know more, but I do not want to read a spy novel to get the primary info.
No, Apple stands in the way. If you mean browser engine, still true: WebKit was forked as Blink on 4/3/2013 and diverged on both sides since.

The time for a new engine may come, and I saw a clean room one go by on HN the other day. It's very hard to get to webcompat. Gecko loses compatibility as Firefox loses market share. For now, the more important fight is a level up: tracker blocking, users dealt into the economics, intermediaries and big tech dealt out.

Future Meat Technology can already produce cultured meat at roughly the prices quoted in the article ($4/100g, which would be $18.14/lb). It seems unrealistic that the industry would have already reached its lowest price point considering large scale facilities are just now being made.

That's only a portion of it, though. That area could be used for something other than agriculture, and a significant portion of arable land is used for growing crops that go exclusively toward animals that are later slaughtered, e.g. soybeans.

Moving away from meat is the right way forward - ethically, ecologically, and economically.

1) A gigantic private company operating across most of the world/laws/jurisdictions/precedents etc...is in charge of determining (with little to no human oversight) what can and can't be shared between individuals. Who might even be in competing legal jurisdictions. Seems wonky.
2) that it's commonly accepted that they get to look into it period. It's similar to having every package/letter you ever send opened and looked through and judged (ik postal services sometimes scan) but I can't imagine they open every single envelope

Look at how hard vegetarians and vegans have worked for decades and decades to try to convince people to replace foods they like with other types of food that they already eat but just don't like as much. The amount of success they've had is small, and the amount of backlash high.

With insects you're trying to convince people to replace foods they like with foods they literally find disgusting and have never eaten in their lives. Yes I'm sure it makes sense on paper, but I think you're drastically underestimating the cultural barriers on this one.
> In the late 1990s, pharmaceutical companies reassured the medical community that patients would not become addicted to opioid pain relievers and healthcare providers began to prescribe them at greater rates.

> Increased prescription of opioid medications led to widespread misuse of both prescription and non-prescription opioids before it became clear that these medications could indeed be highly addictive.

I assumed this was well-known.

If you are in the apple ecosystem an airport express provides a similar feature set (airplay to analog stero line out) and can output to multiple airports (in different rooms) simultaneously.

Granted its not as headless. a iDevice (or airplay compatible source) needs to be running.

I have analog stereos in a few rooms and the airport express provides a nice way for anyone in the house to cast music from whatever app they like. and with modern iOS you can even output to different zones for different apps.

The airport expresses are roughly $50 a pop, less if you are patient.
Optimizing and subsidizing. And that’s to say nothing of the cost of the negative externalities.
I have never tried out one of these, though I have seen the adverts before and thought they looked quite cool. I wonder how useful for the Art of Writing, however, going "backwards" really is. I am all for distraction-free writing, and think that ignoring some (if not all) of the attention economy is a wonderful life decision. However, wouldn't the lineage of writers look fondly upon certain aspects of technology? To put it another way, I would love a device like this (or even just an updated Alphasmart from back in the day) that could also include something like gemini network connectivity, allowing the fruits of my distraction-free writing to be incorporated into my life here in 2021.

Will certainly be on the lookout for such 'revolutionary' devices.
I use all three of JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebooks and VS Code Notebooks.

What I love about VS Code Notebooks - it's almost zero context switching to jump from the the code you are working on to a REPL and back.

What I don't love about VS Code Notebooks (and why I still spend a lot of time in JupyterLab) - the context gets confused as to what cell you are in frequently - so your Ctrl-Enter keys don't work, and you have to manually run each cell one at a time.

One issue here is that there’s no economic reason for the home planet to mount the sort of resources it would take to fund an interstellar trip. Stars are farther away than you think. The only way I can see that it would happen is for religious reasons, if the belief system of the religion required them to do it. Because there’s no economic reason.

The other issue is that it’s not clear how long technological civilizations last. We might be close to exhausting our own planet just 150 years after the invention of radio. Maybe technological civilizations bloom in the dark like beautiful flowers, then burn out quickly before they can spread to other systems.

Unlike many commenters here, I came to praise Swift. Of course there will be regrets -- nothing's perfect -- but on the whole I think the designers (and community) did an amazing job with Swift. I say that after having written multiple apps in Objective C -- I would never consider going back.

Optionals and null safety, first class enums, first class functions are just lovely in swift, all in a language that is super readable when well-written.

I thought it was astounding that the media wrote this off so quickly and thoroughly. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. As soon as it might be "Russian disinformation", everyone except the craziest far right people immediately stopped wondering about the meaning of "10 points for the big guy". It was right on the cusp of providing some conclusive evidence that Hunter Biden's international antics were part of a family scheme of corruption as opposed to just fishing his last name around for perks. But because the story was essentially buried, it seems we'll never know.
97% of the cattle is grown on feedlots, not grass IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. So massive amounts of corn and soy are wasted IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (as the original article THAT EXCLUSIVELY TALKS ABOUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA notes growing soy for cattle feed leads to massiva amounts of deforestation)
We could tax cow farts.
I've been on the other side of this - going more toward regenerative ranching as the other way away from the industrial food supply. I can't really beat Diana Rogers on explaining this, so I'll just point you here.

https://sustainabledish.com/fake-burgers-make-no-sense/

Also - before folks say that we couldn't feed everyone that way, I always like to point out that before the Europeans decimated the American bison, there were more head of bison roaming the west than there are head of cattle today. Just turning our monocrop soy and corn farms in the midwest back to prairie (by actually doing nothing to the land - just leave it alone), we could have regenerative ranching and cows and more food for less energy input than we do today.

There's a brief discussion of that: "Harvard political theorist Michael Sandel suggests that the most exclusive colleges should move away from tournament-style admissions. Instead, he’d like to see them set a minimum competency bar and then accept everyone who clears the threshold." You could apply this thinking society-wide: if you're competent enough to do your job then that's it; there's no rankings.
There's R&D, and then there's the actual manufacturing. Sure, prices go down after a while, but you can track costs accordingly.

If you know (because you have blue prints) that the materials will cost 1,000,000 to build the plane (because your suppliers gave your price quotes), you can have a very good idea of what that plane will cost before putting it on the assembly line.

I don't think this really deserves to be downvoted does it? Even if it's simplified. And I say that as someone who is in a tiny fraction of the population in terms of having my own fairly serious business TrueNAS system at the core of my data story, behind an OPNsense firewall on a fairly fancy network setup and with also my own offsite backups and Backblaze B2. I'm working on upgrading my ESXi system too, continuing to take more stuff self-hosted. And I'm pretty happy with it all, as well as any other benefits it's just plain faster to do stuff locally.

But it's definitely fundamentally more expensive because there are tons of fixed costs that would be much better amortized across more parties. The hardware could handle far more than I throw at it, and importantly the incremental cost of expanding the setup is much much lower then the setup cost. My NAS could easily have nearly triple the storage space at "only" the cost of the drives themselves and maybe a bit more memory (which is dirt cheap). It's not processor or bandwidth limited. I don't need that much space, but if there were another few folks joining me on using it and we split the cost between us we'd each pay less for more. And the whole thing as-is leans heavily on my own personal amortization and professional knowledge, I can justify some of it as a business expense and I actually already knew tons of the basics before doing anything for the first time. A larger group could have someone devoting even more time to it.

That's the simple relentless logic behind "cloud services" really behind whatever layers of fancy marketing or conversely outrage. It really is cheaper at a basic level, but unfortunately the way it's often been implemented lends to centralization and perverse incentives.

Efforts to address it have to tackle those head-on. Ideally at a minimum there'd be legally mandated offering of standard "cloud APIs" for every platform so that iCloud or whatever could be slotted right out for something else compatible. It does seem like there is potential for more decentralized sharing and discovery, but the UI and reliability challenges are quite significant. We'll probably see a lot of gyrations back and forth as everyone searches for the right balances depending on their own situations along with whatever semi-ignorant semi-opportunistic bumbling responses governments come up with. Unfortunately even on HN lots of people tend to reach for sledgehammers over scalpels when it comes to the law.
