Right, that's the trade off. If we wrote low level software that can make efficient use of the hardware, I bet these cloud services would need significantly less hardware and thus significantly less power usage than they do today.

But what we have today is companies using inefficient tech to crank out janky products as quickly as possible to hopefully one day make a profit, or to be able to quickly throw out "updates" to give the marketing department something to brag about. This whole web 2.0 start-up culture has turned the software industry into a get-rich-quick scheme, rather than a industry about engineering and craftmanship.

I would gladly pay: a) limited platforms b) slower and slightly more complex development process c) money, to get native software again.

No, I’m not. Again, by not mentioning that ammonia is made from hydrogen (and not mentioning that ammonia is by far the largest use of hydrogen today and also that almost all hydrogen is made with fossil fuels now but not historically), we are obfuscating multiple things. It seems implied that ammonia based fertilizers actually need hydrocarbons in particular (which isn’t true historically, technically, or in the future, BUT you’ll have many Degrowther types argue we have to use fossil fuels for fertilizer) AND it makes it easy to exaggerate the benefit of hydrogen cars (or the “hydrogen economy”) because it becomes unclear that hydrogen is actually by far made from fossil fuels. It’s not a simple consequence.

(Finally, green hydrogen is currently competitive with grey and blue hydrogen in Europe due to high gas prices at the moment, but that’s totally beside the point.)

I think this is a bit of a mischaracterization of my position but I do think you are arguing in good faith. I don't have a low view of the public or democratic processes, I have a high view of it!

I look at the American political system and imagine a version of it where the president was the president but did not in fact operate the executive, that person's only job was the power of the veto - it seems like a nightmare.

The idea that a PM has some incentive to manufacture a crisis is true I suppose, but that is a very high-risk strategy. Real-world experience indicates that popular support is a product of good economic conditions and the rare exceptions to these instances (i.e. GWB post-9/11) stand out because they are very extraordinary. (And usually end very badly!) Every political body at every level has the power to manufacture a crisis and benefit from it, but that isn't very effective because the electorate understands that they have the power to address the crisis, or prevent it in the first place so the existence of that dynamic doesn't prove much of anything from my perspective.
I don't think it's accurate though. It says I'd be at around half of the DUI limit after 2 glasses of wine in one hour. That's certainly not right.
We are currently on AWS, and we have several dedicated servers on LeaseWeb that we offload computational work on. These are cheap beasts.

Still, I'd not run my RDBMS on an unmanaged, non replicated dedicated server and I'd not bother setting up multiple servers with failover, automated backups etc and keep updating them. Fuck that, I'll pay whatever AWS says RDS costs.

Ugh. Failing to see why lua isn't a better choice than this. Even a subset of lua augmented with those funky ^? stuff to achieve what you want to achieve in terms of safety.

Feels like "the whole everything is looking old we got new keywords! Metaverse! We need new languages...".

The older I get the more I feel like languages are just as generational as developers come into the market. They don't want to write Java, even python is getting old. We need new fresh languages every 5-10 years which frankly just feels like the same walls with a fresh coat of paint.
With Eurotunnel Shuttle services you drive on with a road vehicle, remain with the vehicle for the transit and then drive off at the other terminal. Europorte runs freight operations through the tunnel. Finally Eurostar is the pure passenger service running the likes of London to Paris.
This needs more emphasis on the "correlation is NOT necessarily causation" part. In my experience trying to use SHAP and other "interpretable ML" techniques for data science analysis, trying to identify relevant drivers for a metric based on SHAP-like techniques is a recipe for disaster. You'll get results that look on the surface to someone that is well versed but not an expert in the business like they're legit but to an expert they're obvious garbage.

The way I and many others were taught in school is that you get some dataset and you throw it into a predictor and get results, but what they should've taught is how to find things (among hundreds of possible attributes, or even attributes that aren't collected yet) you think would be causal predictors first without looking at the data and then explore and build a model based on that.
I just recently signed up for some stupidly low-priced VPS on OVH and encountered no problems at all with the sign-up. The only issue I had was when I went to increase the RAM - it said the price was $1/month, but when I bought it I was charged $5 and it took support a week to get back to me to tell me I didn't read the small print properly and that it said they would have to upgrade the Windows license which was an extra fee.

tl;dr: watch the small print and their support is slow as fuck. otherwise, incredible value for money.

Serious answer: influence your representatives with political donations. This assumes you can afford to donate a five figure sum to a PAC and get invited to exclusive donor events. But if you make big bucks at a FAANG and deeply care about climate change, become a donor. Tell your representatives that you are willing to contribute to their campaigns but only if they promise to support climate bills.

Play the game. Just don't break the law. But play dirty if you have to.
You're wrong to say that the element of security it provides is low because, even with this workaround, you still don't have access to the data on the device. All this "workaround" does is keep the chain of trust from the original device. You'd still need to be able to unlock the device in order to get anything from it. It doesn't reset the FaceID information or bypass it in any way.
> Therefore raising the price of fossil fuels does raise the price of fertilizer.

Yes, but how much does this impact the total retail cost of the food we eat? Would it be a difference of 2%, or a difference of 200%?

That's the only number I (as someone who eats food) care about.
My understanding is that AVX512 is not all that it's cracked up to be anyway, and that it also clocks the CPU down while it is executing those instructions. So my understanding is that a program (even if not a particularly heavy one) that constantly executed AVX512 instructions could cause a noticeable drop in performance to the entire system.
> The monopolists did squeeze the farmers. It was still profitable for the farmers, but under what a fair market rate would be. Just because you're getting paid enough to keep going doesn't mean you're getting a fair rate.

Obviously it paid better than other crops, so it is not about getting paid enough to keep going.
Potatoes and Tomatoes are very similar plants. You can graft them together and have a living plant that grows tomatoes on top and potatoes in the roots.

Potatoes also produce fruits that are similar to cherry tomatoes. They taste like gross tomatoes and are indeed poisonous in relatively small quantities.
That's probably for maintaining older machines. I doubt it's the bleeding edge of verified Russian CPU clones.
Billionaire (AU$27B+) and former CEO of Fortescue Metals Groups Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest was recently in the news here in Australia with plants to build ammonia plants here in Tasmania and Queensland.

Tasmania has a lot of hydro electricity, but Hydro Tasmania claimed not to have any surplus supply to power the proposed plant because it's all presently being used by mineral processors Nyrstar and Temco.

“ The developmental primordium that produces the premaxilla in nonmammalian tetrapods rarely contributes to the upper jaw in therian mammals but rather forms a motile nose. We propose that these previously unrecognized rearrangements allowed key innovations such as the highly sensitive tactile perception and olfactory function in mammalian evolution.”

It never occurred to me before that mammals, or specifically the placental and marsupial subset, had the most developed olfactory sense. Perhaps then a sense of smell is more complex to develop, in evolutionary terms, than sight or hearing? A strange idea indeed since sight is typically considered the most sophisticated sense.
Let justice be done though the heavens fall.
Enough to keep going with that crop versus others.
> This is either a disingenuous attempt to downplay the important of hardware security or an extremely ignorant analysis of the situation being described.

All of those examples have to do with one primary concept: DRM.

DRM doesn't serve the end user. Nor does the coffee pods with Keurig, all the stupid stuff around inkjet cartridges, cat litterbox cleaner, and more. They ALL do have to do with customer capture and profit enforcement.
My friends in Switzerland 30 years ago thought corn was only for animals. It took some convincing for them to try American-style corn on the cob (which is delicious!)
If you check ARC code in a profiler, there's a shocking amount of time spent in the retain/release calls:

https://floooh.github.io/2016/01/14/metal-arc.html

There are ways around this overhead at least in Metal, but this requires at least as much effort as not using ARC to begin with.
Yes. If you can replace the microphone jack, or any of the other hardware you mention without verifying its integrity, you can add surveillance hardware to the device. I could replace your microphone with one that records everything and sends it to me and you'd be none the wiser.

They were a revision of the first gen Raspberry Pi. A bit more stable and seemed to not corrupt the root filesystem after a few hours, which the initial one seemed to invariably do for me.

They're not offering it any more, no.

Honestly I would just doubt OSHA's authority and absolutely fight that.

A lot of this discussion is "there should be consequences" and neglecting to consider "who is the authority to bring consequences and what are those consequences". This allows for cognitive neglect that seems to simply be "any consequence from a private person or the government is a good consequence" and that's just categorically false!

so, yeah I'd take the general stance of "fuck that regulator, in particular" and it would look like "apathetic capitalist fighting thing they are responsible for" but that wouldn't be my stance at all, where I would be totally open to a more convincing authority with a more convincing case. state AG or the DOJ coming in guns blazing? Oh shit completely different calculus! Passionate labor regulator with the weakest tangentially related civil lawsuit that also has the off chance of causing more civil liability just because I was too worried about a PR hit? Gtfoh
It is how the bill is paid for. This is new spending, so they had to come up with $1Tn of new taxes, without actually adding any taxes. They assume that people aren’t paying taxes on their crypto transactions, then whip out a big stick to make those people pay up. Then make some assumptions about the market cap of crypto adding to government revenues.
I personally think that Oliver Sacks' "The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat" should be required reading in school for providing an understanding of how seemingly illogically our logic engine works.

It's made me more understanding of 'how people work', and as a result has helped me deal with difficult people in a less combative manner.
That's why this exists, though. You can't compromise the person if the hardware signing/check are done via software that's connected to a server. There's nothing a person can do to override that if the hardware doesn't send back the right key.

You are bringing in new users and locking them into Steam.

Steam only allows it because they want to be one centralized hub with more and more people locked in through social features, existing libraries, recommendation traffic, etc., but it is only allowed if it isn't price competition so that consumers can't feel the weight of the 30% directly.

Retired people provide a lot of useful labor, it’s just much of it is in the home and therefore both unpaid and invisible.

As an ex-lawyer (though not in the US), I know this is a common case.

When taken individually, it looks absurd that a company would do such a thing when it is obvious that it is an economic loss.

In reality, though, most companies just look at those kind of cases in "bulk". When analyzing things at that level, those kind of outliers simply dissolve in a sea of other more economically viable legal challenges.

Those make good news stories, but in the end it is just a byproduct of scale.

I once had to go to a hearing for a 2 dollar case (converted from BRL) in a small court claim for a big Brazilian telecom. The sued company paid 10 dollars for my taxi, 50 dollars for each of my hours and about 20 dollars more for the other expenses. In the end, that single 2 dollar lawsuit cost the company about 500 dollars.

Looking at just that case, it seems absurd. But considering that that same company had 2000+ small court claims every single month, it makes sense that simply hiring someone to approve our analysis that those cases were not worth it would cost 100x more than just moving on. It was just cheaper to just keep going than to do a cost/benefit analysis on each of the thousands of suits they receivd every month.

This is specially bad in the US where the system is common law and that can set a precedent (in my case my country uses civil law, where precedents are not that strong).
True. But again, since if I understand lives of Americans are counted as their worth in salary, Walmart also will be happy to keep low salaries.

If you're going to about Microsoft's ethics, it's probably also necessary to complain about Facebook's ethics since they own React.
> You claim most slaves in Roman times were not freed, do you know the history or are you just assuming with no evidence that's the case?

Honestly, I think you're the one who needs to be providing the evidence, especially if you're claiming anything close to the opposite of that (i.e. that most slaves in Roman times were freed).

The parent comment wasn't talking about simple DRM. They were making a specific point that Apple's motivation for hardening the hardware security of phones had nothing to do with actual security but was "anti-competitive garbage" and then compared it to devices that don't need security. It's not the same thing.

I agree that all those things have needless DRM but that doesn't support or prove the parent's point at all.
Buses would be way better if roads were designed to prioritize them over single passenger cars. Instead (in the US), you're just stuck in traffic with extra stops, so you might as well drive.
No, this reasoning doesn't convince me because it's still "but what if". Like when people keep on telling we just have to travel the stars to planet B and it's possible because maybe we'll pretty soon discover FTL.

> When the stakes are so high that this kind of agencies are trying to get your data, that would be a risky bet to assume they won't be able to crack your encrypted partition.

I do agree. Even if I knew the NSA was after me and I knew how to secure my laptop with custom Libreboot and other things I strongly believe the laptop should not be used to discuss matters or store data related to activities that got the agency on my back. I will do an humane error and compromise myself before they need to use strong tech against my laptop.
That sounds like criminal negligence causing death if the facts are as you say. Perhaps OSHA should bring that case.

How has Walmart shirked responsibility? Seeking independent review by an unbiased party is hardly shirking responsibility.

I understand both sides - the one laughing, and the upset ones. It really would be interesting for what reasons they fired him.
And I also think it's quite possible to get a match for being a good fit to a vacant position, which has been shaped by oneself earlier - and with the offerer having realized and see the necessaty of adapting the vacant position's description/needs&wants to just like it was shaped by oneself earlier.
So if oneself have bring in a sophisticated workflow in development, the employer might want to have that further after firing the one for being jerkyfishmoledog.

A (digital native) recruiter doesn't know that. He/She should, but it's not tragic. To see that Special needing and linking both is the job. Not valuing and guessing which company might fit and which not - it's not like with the actors/agents/movies ... "Yeah that might fit to you, Tom..."

So I think it's a little bit a FAIL he shouldn't even have say yes to the interview. That would be a sovereign solution - no one pi*ed and the door isn't closed completely. Just a lifehack:
1. you're a number
2. One see each other twice in ones life
3. Never say ever.

I don’t see how comparing the performance of a two different phones in 2021 can say anything about comparing the performance of a single phone now and years ago.

The new phone just is faster. Compare https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/10853484 (about the best I could find for the iPhone X) with (about the worst I could find for the iPhone 13 Pro), and you’ll learn the newer one is almost twice as fast as the older one.
