Again, isn't this "the youths these day" argument again with no data to back it up? I mean, to put a quick example, Tenet requires a level of attention that other movies don't require.

Also, from the movie it's not so obvious that shields only block fast things. To me it looked like they work like a strong fabric held by a force field, but that can be penetrated if enough force is applied.
I wish that the damage of lithium mining would be specified and put into specific terms about what the damage is and what's it's doing.

For example, fracking in California results in 26 acres of toxic storage pools that are leaking and contaminating ground water with specific toxic chemicals:

https://grist.org/accountability/fracking-waste-california-a...

However, every single story about the toxicity of battery production remains vague and I haven't been able to find any that specify what the damage is. I have found that indigenous people are having their land used without much permission or process, but the damage has never been specified.

Does anybody have some specifics about what's going on? Presumably there must be an environmental cost but it's really unclear what it is, or how it compares to the regular destruction that we embrace from fossil fuels.

This wasn’t a cliffhanger ending, it really wasn’t. There were so many points where the movie could have ended on a cliffhanger and it didn’t, instead it ended on a propre “pause”: things aren’t over but they’re also not left hanging.

I was really afraid of it ending like the golden compass movie’s cliffhanger which left me with such an awful taste in my mouth and then didn’t get a sequel…
Not sure they were wrong about the future of laptops, rather wrong about the future of pro laptops that have specific needs that favor function over style. Most of us I think thought once they removed ports and MagSafe, and added Touch Bar, etc there was no going back and we had to get use to it. Haven't been this excited and love using in a long time. Always has been a great machine that rely on every day, but now it's a true joy. Sure would have loved FaceID and CFExpress and if MagSafe was also thunderbolt data cable (since many of us use docks), but otherwise it's incredible.
Why are you talking about healthcare in a thread about AWS and intelligence agencies?
I upgraded from a 2014 MacBook Pro (dual core), it is at least 2x faster for both full and incremental Rust builds.
This is why I think a Framework Laptop is a better option as you can customize the kind of ports you want to have for your needs instead of being held hostage to design decisions that require USB docks/adapters.
Moosh means mice not rats but otherwise correct. This is a Persian idiom that we learned in my Farsi classes.

Mice are considered cute in the culture ("my mouse mouse" is a term of endearment) but I don't think that changes the meaning substantially.
I actually like my share of scifi books. I love the hyperion series, a fire upon the deep, lots of books written by Isaac Asimov, and other books, but I really struggled with Dune. I think the prose just bored me.

I also found Blade Runner 2049 terrible. It felt totally empty. The original movie had an interesting story and built an interesting world. I don’t even know what 2049 was really about.

I felt the same about the “Joker” movie. Good acting and production but ultimately not interesting .
It doesn't ease the limiting of movement though - it actually restricts the ability of countries within the EU to limit movement, easing the movement itself. If the EU had taken no action to create the EU DCC and the associated regulation, countries would be freer to limit movement than they are now.

>Imagine if Taylor Swift sold a limited number of mp3 NFTs of a new song of hers.

Several artists have created "limited" or 1/1 NFTs, with full knowledge that whatever media contained therein could be easily digitally replicated. It's not about legality or tangible qualities, it's a pure digital ownership model.

The most recent example is David Lynch and Interpol: https://twitter.com/DAVID_LYNCH/status/1453013551241744394

Whoever wins this auction isn't paying money for an actual object (the film), it's buying the digitally-provable representation of the film that exists in their wallet, that they got (almost) directly from David Lynch.

I've had mine scanned a few times now, only when eating in. I'm in Ottawa FWIW, people seem to be doing it mostly right here.
Kind of annoying that I have to show my ID too, but luckily they accept an OHIP card as ID, saves having to find my passport.
That raises another difference between Hydro One and Hydro Ottawa: Hydro Ottawa has sensors on primary all over the network (something like every 3-5 km). The sensors make it possible to locate faults within a fairly small part of the distribution network almost instantaneously.

In contrast Hydro One has very few sensors, maybe one every 15 to 20 km in parts of the network, and sometimes no sensors at all on rural lines that can require driving 50+ km of line to find the fault. We routinely have 4-6 hour power outages, and a good chunk of the repair time is spent finding the fault. Again, Hydro One could install more reclosers on rural lines to isolate faults, but that doesn't seem to be the design philosophy they follow.

It's not entirely Hydro One's fault. Building a sensor network in rural Canadian shield geography is challenging as getting radio signals through rocks, hills and trees can be almost impossible, but I still think they can do better.
See what you did black mirror? you gave them ideas.

Honestly though, I be surprised if advanced militaries already didn't already something better than this.
I don't even care about those benchmarks. It's more about the user experience and in Windows, it's horrible and user hostile.

Even if it wasn't slower, it's literally worse in every way compared to a modern Linux distribution. We live in the browser these days. The operating system we use should not bother us and control us and treat us like idiots.

> "Again, we've created a situation in which the law only applies to some."

That is partly the problem. The law definitely needs to be changed to address the fact that the people who have generated massive amounts of wealth have done so by avoiding taxes, and then lobbying for favorable outcomes for themselves that are in direct contradiction to the welfare of society—e.g. increasing the price of insulin making it difficult for people to afford it, when the cost has not increased and it is purely for profit.

The law only ever "applies to some". That is the point. Driver's license laws only "apply to" people over a certain age. Accredited investor regulations only apply to people of certain means. Citizenship laws apply under a specific set of conditions. The list goes on. That is literally the point of "law". Conditioned restriction on behavior to sustain order and welfare amongst mass amounts of human beings.

This elitism is, frankly, embarrassing in our industry.
I find all those streaming I/O libraries (and lazy bytestreams as well) to be more neat-looking than useful: they can produce slightly cleaner code when used for basic tasks (such as those in examples), are fun to play with, and generally seem nice at first. But once you have a bunch of dependencies with their own (byte)string/text types, errors/exceptions, and ways to do I/O, all of which should be combined and work together, those become rather annoying. Additionally, it becomes easier to shoot yourself in the foot (which is mentioned in the alternative title, but doesn't seem to be expanded on much) -- say, by closing a Handle or even merely not draining the input before proceeding with other I/O, if the outside system expects you to.

At the same time, it's not a big deal to handle potentially infinite streams with strict I/O and explicit chunks.

I imagine it is possible to build projects around such libraries, possibly wrapping all the other I/O into it. Similarly to how in principle it's possible to unify all the error-yielding functions, and those working with text and/or byte streams. But I guess it doesn't happen often.
I think nobody would have complained about the Macbook's lack of ports if Apple would have offered (and promoted!) a portable docking station and a Thunderbolt screen equivalent for USB-C. Unfortunately that never happened, and most users don't even seem to know that there are docking stations and USB-C screens with power delivery from third parties.
So lots of people used Apple's ridiculous adapters and plugged in 3 or more cables for power, external screens and USB-A devices like webcams.

Tiny nit, but it bugs me that the word "admit" has been bastardized and is now a standard tool in the clickbait-writer's toolbox. I know that language changes and I'm no prescriptivist, but to admit something means to acknowledge it. The most common use I see, in headlines at least, is along the lines of "Notable Person says something which, if you analyze it, suggests they are a hypocrite." Or worse, "Notable Person stumbles over words during an interview. Zing!"

This headline would imply that there's a high-level Apple exec on record saying the Touch Bar was a mistake. This is the opposite of that: Apple is pretending like it never happened.

Its the same for airplanes, appliances, and everything execept computers.

We haven’t even stopped building new kinds of nuclear weapons - or reviving old ones.

China recently launched a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOB) with a hypersonic glide vehicle which is a new spin on an old Cold War idea.

Edit: which is to say, believing the average person has moved on from Cold War thinking is probably wishful thinking that would be immediately dispelled during near peer conflict. We are in every bit as much danger now as we were then.

Online website builders are not for everybody. If you need something custom added, most of the time, it is hard to make it work, you know, Pareto 80/20 rule. Your files are hosted in their cloud. If you run into issues you have to deal with their customer service. They are also slow compared to your file system. Regarding what you said about VSCode with extensions, there are a lot of use cases and user types out there. I, for one, wouldn't touch VSCode with a ten-foot pole.

For the average developer, yes. As for someone who troubleshoots all of my families tech hardware / software, I don't let anyone under 60 get a pc, they are limited to iPad only. I tried to get two of my younger cousins on Linux. One worked for a while replacing a virus ridden pc, but when he upgraded, he went back to windows. It's not that windows is better, its the liability of their expectations that something will go wrong. I still get windows issues on my locked down pc computer, but when they get a small bug on linux, it confirms their biases.
No, that makes it a common implementation or even a de facto standard. It does not make it standardised because Reproducible Builds is not a recognised standards authority.
The newest unsupported laptop is from 2015. I mean maybe there has been longer support for previous operating systems but I'm not sure anyone would be calling "six years old" "pretty recent". Six years, incidentally, matches the age of their oldest phone that is still supported by the latest iOS, the 6s.

And... different people buy devices at different times. What are they supposed to do to satisfy your standards, release one laptop every eight years?
That law is as unscientific as can be. In fact the very wiki article says that it has been empirically disproven.

The entire college phd system is toxic and self serving.

At my local college the guy the physic department building was named after was obsessed with some weird thing that no one understood and when he died they just mothballed all his "projects" equipment. No one had any idea what it was or what to do with it and it filled a good part of the building. He was not easy to get along with and shot down anything that he didn't like without even discussion. I'm told this is not in any way uncommon in the field.
