Actually, the answer to your question is 100% of packages will be missing.

Jeff Bezos (and I’m no fan) the hungry entrepreneur only went through the massive life disruption of starting a company because of the possibility that he might one day become Jeff Bezos the (m/b)illionaire.

Take that juicy end state away and suddenly you’ll have nobody willing to go through the decades of hell it takes to create these big companies.

Resulting in no jobs and no packages.

What would the alternative be - the method of installation is the App Store, and Apple's compliance was removing the public and private presence from the App Store within that country.
You don't need the breach, the DB is already public (in encrypted form).

So yeah, all you need is either a currently unknown mathematic weakness in the encryption scheme, or bug in implementation, or as you suggest some future quantum or other technical advance that defeats the encryption.
Great summary and informative graphics. I wish it was interactive!
The interactive rendering looks cool and fits his area of expertise. The underlying library appears to be PixiJS [1].

> Who knows, maybe there will be some way to verifiably move your Steam library over to an Amazon account?

The library is the #1 reason people stay in Steam. Lots of people just buy games in other places and just add it there.

Amazon could, for example, offer different royalties (say, 10% instead of 30%) for publishers willing to have their old games "moveable" to Amazon's hypothetical new platform and I bet a lot of studios would take the deal. This is not unheard of: it's how Apple does iTunes Match.

This article touches on the one major unanswered question I have about R2: CloudFlare's CDN ToS make it clear CF is meant to host websites and APIs, not content downloads [1]. Does R2 have similar ToS? It's reasonable that CF doesn't want R2 customers that use 500MB of paid storage and 500TB of free bandwidth, so what is acceptable use?

Ferarris don't contribute at all to global warming relatively. The many Gulfstream's and 747's the wealthy own are actually statistically significant in terms of impact.
SPARC is aiming for Q_plasma of about 10 in 2025, but not to generate energy at all: it doesn't have any of the required 'blanket' system for breeding tritium. SPARC is a physics test, to make sure our theories of burning plasma are correct and to test the stability of these high field tokamaks.

ITER is (among other things) supposed to be a physics test, but won't come until 2035. So SPARC's goal is to 'leapfrog' that by 10 years.

You're right that there's a lot of work to be done between Q_plasma = 10 and generating energy. A lot of this work on the materials side, to engineer materials that can last for years in a fusion reactor environment.
> In countries like Norway, that kind of data is publicly available. It makes for less second-guessing and less suspiciousness.

It might work in Norway where there is basically zero violent crime, but in many parts of the world outing yourself as a millionaire is a great way to get yourself or your family kidnapped.

Can anyone comment on the heat > electricity conversion ratio? My understanding has been that modern multi-stage steam turbines used in power plants are around 90% efficient, not 50%. I might be missing other energy losses along the way, though.

As an aside (mostly to add some perspective around Scandinavian comments), my Swedish friend moved to America and became a citizen exactly for this version of the American dream. As far as he's concerned, it's FAR more difficult to become wealthy in Sweden.
This is why I moved into frontend development about 8 years ago. People thought I was nuts to do so, but I got tired of trying to explain architecture and ideas for projects, where people claim to understand, but then so clearly not.

Making the visible part of software really helped to cut through the blah blah blah and get real understanding and feedback on what was meant.

Because they are naturally uncommon and localized or because they are policed heavily?
Meshtastic is a good project that seems a bit more mature.

It's designed to run on ESP32 LoRa devices, which are cheap and low power draw.
I also tried colored LED lighting in my computer space. I turn it down and red, kind of like those rooms where people develop photographic film. It works wonders for getting me to feel tired after a while.
I disagree.

If someone provided a simple service for friends and families to share photos and updates, it's possible Facebook could be disrupted. I have no evidence to back up my claim, but I think those are the only things people truly care about.

It is the only thing I miss after deleting it two years ago. I certainly don't miss Messenger, the Feed, or news.
Weather conditions only contribute to ~16% of fatal road accidents. https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-...

So, that doesn’t actually change the near parity question much. Further, the question isn’t if the 100% self driving is available today for all roads and weather conditions, the question when is it good enough to start saving lives.
Does it move? I tried clicking on it and nothing seemed to happen.
Defining account will be interesting. One definition might be:

The 'account' consists of the credentials required to add or modify data associated with a human.

In that case, the person deleting their private key would suffice for deleting an account.

There are plenty of things this doesn't cover, or even backfires. Just interested in what other perspectives people may have.

---

Scuttlebutt actually could allow for 'deletion' in the sense that a 'compliant' scuttlebutt client could choose to interpret a 'delete this account' message as a filter for any messages that match said public key. Many client's UX understand that the state of messages may be incomplete due to the P2P nature, so thats kinda nice too.
Sorry, but I just recently watched a crowd of angry trolls sell memes and Internet in-jokes as facts to droves of angry Facebook users, and then they combined forces to elect a fascist. I no longer believe this kind of crap is inconsequential.

> It appears that reports are going to be attributed to actual accounts, which should enable Apple to identify abusers more easily.

I don't feel X == Y in this case. Account creation is not a high enough bar to block abusers IMHO. Amazon reviews require accounts too, but that obviously doesn't stop the negative review attacks which GP mentioned.

I think the charitable take is that the comment is in jest.
There's a tricky balancing act here. I agree in general that it's good to not air dirty laundry and I personally would be very unlikely to publicly write something like this about a previous coworker.

At the same time not sharing information widely about a toxic member of your community can create a "missing stair"[0] effect where those with inside info know to steer away from the person. Meanwhile, newcomers to the community don't have that knowledge and end up getting burned.

I don't think there's any perfect solution here. We each have to judge for ourselves where to draw the line between public shaming and the duty to protect others from potential harm.

You can have decentralized p2p systems that respect users (allow deletes). One example would be Gun which allows you to “tombstone” your data. Just overwrite it with a blank.

A new version of Scuttlebutt allows tombstoning too.

I think mutable should be the default. Make it all ephemeral with optional permanence.

People need to learn to just use registered mail. Yes, it's ridiculous that it's necessary, but the postage and hassle is probably less than dealing with those intentional hurdles.

Alternatively, if the US legal system allows it and you can find a number: Fax. This has the advantage that it can be automated on your end so it's not much more hassle than a quick e-mail, and the delivery receipt (yes, trivially spoofable in theory, but I would assume it's widely accepted in practice) also shows what the content of the message was.

My son's speech therapist described ABA as horse breaking, and the (way more humane) approach she uses as horse whispering. The approach she uses is JASPER: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34348479/

Edit: a part of the criticism I've heard for ABA is that it doesn't generalise, so kids know how to function only in a very limited set of circumstances and are often frozen with anxiety outside of them. It is also an all consuming lifestyle for the whole family.
I used to work at an OCaml company and it wasn't nearly as much of an issue as one might predict. You can (it turns out) build a very successful business even if there aren't a lot of existing libraries, or if the language lacks certain basic features like native multithreading (same with Python of course). I don't have a great model for why this isn't devastatingly expensive, but it's probably some combination of

* Most existing libraries are kind of bad anyway so you're not missing out much by not using them

* If you write everything yourself you get system expertise "for free", and gaining expertise in something that already exists is hard

* You can tailor everything to your business requirements

* Writing libraries is "fun work" so it's easier to be productive while doing it
But it's 'or', so who cares.

Is there some clever argument they can use to avoid admitting that they process data that they process?
There has been a similar big bump in the uk (to 17% not 100 but still...). How much of this is that a lot of legacy companies can't produce anything because they can't get chips?
This can quickly become untenable depending on the availability and contractual requirements you have. You're literally building on a single point of failure. And if it's really big and you design wrong, recovery could take weeks.

Horrific. Autism is about neural difference not deficiency. The problem is neurotypical societies pathologising and disabling neurodivergent people. What this article discusses is analogous to treatment for homosexuality. Shame on you, Duke university.

Unless they programmed it to go bad as soon as the warranty expires I wouldn’t be so worried about it. The Tesla model S is about 8 years old now for the earliest models and I don’t think I’ve heard about them going bad.
Norway has been doing a relatively good job of investing their oil revenue into technologies and infrastructure that will carry their economy through the end of oil and hopefully help reduce global warming.

Given their relatively contribution to the total global production and OPEC's supply management to control prices, it is unclear if a halt in Norwegian oil sales would raise prices significantly enough to matter. There is an argument to be made that is is better for Norway to capture those profit and invest them into the research we need to reduce oil dependence and sequester CO2.

I don't think that the electric car adoption is purely driven by environmentalism. Norway has extremely cheap energy that makes electric cars much more economically attractive.
I think there is a point there. “Soft” deletions are relatively common in relational databases. Do we know that Apple means a “hard” deletion of data? Apple says to include your retention and deletion policies in the App description, so maybe that’s where people would need to come clean on soft deletions?

In other words, Apple has been ignoring blatant fraud like subscription fraud for years and something has now forced their hand.

I wonder what it was. Maybe someone realized that Apple should be considered complicit if they pocket 30% of the proceeds of the crime and continue to enable it?
Fitch's paradox has an incorrect assumption about conjunction: if I know that all digits of pi are between 0 and 9, that assumption then suggests that I know all digits of pi, because they are a part of known truth. Or it's used incorrectly.

The House of Saud, for some time, has attempted and failed to diversify away from oil wealth for when the time comes they can no longer rely on it. Norway, arguably, will reach that point soon (as they’ve bootstrapped electric mobility and can now deprecate existing petroleum supply chains, both for domestic use and for export).

Be like Norway and use the time you have left selling a natural resource wisely, because bans and cross border tariffs are coming, and you’ll be left with what you could build during your transition when the revenue dries up. Hopefully as a country, you don’t end up empty handed.

(Norway also supplies the UK with a large amount of clean hydro power, roughly 690MW continuous, through a newly commissioned underwater HVDC transmission line, so it’s not all dirty fossil exports)

This is a rebuttal to the “he’s in over his head” argument. If he personally is in over his head, the obvious solution is to quit and let someone more capable run the company.

> Last week, some recruiter told me the max he can pay is 75 per hour. Just for fun, I said the min I would consider is 90 (my rate is not that much). He immediately said yes. Then I found out that this was for a FAANG company, I am pretty sure he is charging much more than 90.

I'm from the UK so perhaps I'm missing something here, but how would the recruiter benefit from putting you forward at a lower rate? Do they not take commission as a percentage of your rate?

Here in the UK recruiters are pretty decent imo. They've helped me negotiation higher salaries and day rates in the past. They take a decent cut, but that gives them more incentive to get the best rate possible.
This is bad advice, so don't do this, but here's what I do when I have a big project to tackle and want to work through it: I basically bribe myself with snacks or other stuff I like. Two more hours and I'll go make a peppermint tea with honey and lemon. Four hours in, I'll sit with legs up the wall in yoga pose. Six hours have some gummy bears. Etc etc.

It's not a good practice for all-encompassing stuff like the job overall, but for specific dreaded projects it tends to work well!

The other thing you might like to check out is Cal Newport's book "So Good They Can't Ignore You." His premise is basically that all jobs suck and are just jobs, and how you train yourself to "enjoy" them is to become the expert at the processes and things you do and do them so well that you end up enjoying the work for the sheer satisfaction of it. I don't know if I'm explaining that part well but basically you kind of learn to enjoy the frustration parts by learning to master them.

When all else fails, become friends with your coworkers and now you have friends at work to bond with and that makes it enjoyable!
Really? Your response is, “What about fat people?”

If we could dramatically reduce the negative impacts of obesity with a shot you better believe I’d want that mandated too.

As a Norwegian I totally agree with you. It is not just unethical, but stupid to invest so much in searching for new old fields. When demand for oil drops, Norway could have a Kodak moment.
Does directing you to go their website to create the account then count as the app offering account creation?

I guess the precedent would be that they didn’t used to allow redirecting to a website with the purpose of avoid in-app charges. Although I think that’s over with now.
That's me. I discussed why we (I am no longer at Wallaroo) made the decision about 5 years ago to use Pony to build a product that is no longer what Wallaroo is selling.
Mistake or not is hard to quantify without presenting what qualifies as success first. Is "it was able to achieve our initial goals" success or is "it was able to grow with our business" success? For each of those how much ability is enough to call it "not a mistake"?

I think it's fair to say looking back it was a mistake to pick Pony on the assumptions it provided marginal benefit for the exact needs of the business day 1 but at the same time I think it's fair to say that picking Pony was not a mistake as it allowed them to get where they are today.
Aww, firefox makes the page scroll with arrow keys :( I'm not sure if I would override that though, maybe have alternate controls like "wasd" or something similar.
