First violent conflict between protestors fighting against injustices (in their view) and police institutions, followed by overthrowing democratic institutions and replacing with a single-party dictatorship (which hasn't happen so far in the US, but I've heard of democracy being eroded and people fearing that Republicans would overturn the ballot results in 2020).

I mean isn't it a lot more manageable than things like PCIe that support DMA.

Given the seemingly extensive support for doing emulated USB passthrough/redirection to VMs, I'm assuming people have looked into the security implications to the host.
Or look in the network tab too?
Do you work for Apple?

"Blissfully live safely in their walled garden"

I'm sorry to call you out, but this sounds ridiculous. It has nothing to do with safety. If you care about safety, you shouldn't be satisfied with a curated experience. You should demand it from the OS capabilities regardless of where the app comes from.
It's probably age-dependent of course. Does your experience relate to older folk?
I think what this points out is that the problem isn't government regulation, it's incompetent design, engineering, procurement, and construction.

The stories in the US about VC Summer and Vogtle construction failures do not point to government regulation being the problem, they point to basic flaws throughout the construction process. Design of the AP1000 that is "unconstructable" according to the EPC contractor, who then goes on to build their own unproven design, which then requires an external check. The problem wasn't that the design had to be certified by the government, the problem was that design wasn't in touch with construction.
The big difference here is that Android doesn't mandate the use of the Play Store. You could as well serve an apk from your own website with no rules whatsoever. You could completely ignore the existence of Google if you so desire.
Jean Marc Jancovici is one of the most vocal of we can call "Nuclear ecologist" around in France, the content is amazing and he definitely have a point if you want to follow [0].

He is a realist, but in this field we need to go beyond and to open big money for the research into small and decentralized nuclear power.

Every citizen have to know the pros and the cons, and be educated to the risks. Energy provide good living standards, but we have to know the drawbacks and we have to account for externalities in every business model.

This will be the only way to keep our standards of living and keep an habitable home.

GNOME Web is officially recommended by Apple for testing WebKit on Linux. The devtools even look identical to those on Safari.
> Just because the electrical signals carrying a private conversation pass through wires that are owned by a third party does not make the conversation public

Without data protection laws that data isn't your private data, that data is the company's data. And you are free to do whatever you want with your data, and since the company owns this data the company can sell it to the government, it doesn't matter if you consider it to be your private data the company still owns it. Europe has GDPR which clarifies this, the data is yours even if it is stored on company servers, I'm not aware of USA having anything similar except for health data.

So to me it sounds like you'd want USA to create something akin to GDPR.

I think the floating aliens are fun and add environment. I think it could be a fun way to add bonus points (or multiplier!) when hit!

There aren't many elements to the score HUD. It seems straightforward to just have a "pop up" at the top of the screen when a multiplier is increased and/or a big score increase happens. Maybe with a bit of a shake.

I don't know what "regular" planets are. Maybe different colored outlines akin to RPG item rating would be helpful.

The justification for the camera options makes sense. Maybe you could show the change when adjusted. Shake the camera or move it around when a change happens. That would at least make it more obvious, and the user wouldn't have to mess with it, play the game, and see what changes happened.

You've inspired me, and thank you for that!

Good luck.

Or we could use fission instead of fusion? We already have examples of countries using it successfully: France, Sweden, South Korea, and increasingly China. And the US during the 60s and 70s.

Geographically independent power, no carbon emissions, and no intermittency. It fulfills anything we'd get from fusion, except we have 70 years of experience using it in our power grids.
First, Black didn't sell the gun to Rittenhouse. He bought it with Rittenhouse's money and allowed Rittenhouse to use it.

Second, Black has been charged but not convicted, and I don't think the charge will stick: the argument is that while this was technically legal according to the letter of the law, the law in question was written with only underage hunters in mind, and should not apply in this case. Since the law itself makes no such distinctions, I don't see this as anything more than an empty gesture. Maybe I'm wrong.
Exactly, hence the implication should be that _Safari_ is the IE6 of 2021 rather than, according to the OP, Chrome.
A lot of the air pollution from cars is from brake dust and tire micro particles. EVs do result in less brake dust, but the tires are still a problem.

And if you live on the West coast, it was recently discovered that an essential chemical used for tire durability and safety causes mass deaths in salmon. (Or rather, the chemical breaks down into another chemical, which causes mass salmon death, and probably other fish death too).

I will appreciate never having to hear a damn diesel truck again, however. Those things should be taxed heavily for noise pollution in addition tk their massive particulate emissions.
Not just money; I've read that political scandals have a much larger effect size on who wins political elections than all of campaign spending does[0]. This suggests to me that there's a huge political incentive to fabricate scandals, and to get a large cohort of people talking about it and spreading it as fast as possible.

If we take your reasoning and apply it to other situations one could make the argument that electric vehicles are not vehicles because they don't use gasoline and jet aircraft are not aircraft because they don't use piston engines.

The judiciary doesn't just rule on the constitutionality of laws (actions by the legislature) but also actions by the executive, for example vaccine mandates.
This kind of stuff can make sense when you consider "enterprise" environments like school labs.

Notice on the bug report that the reproduction steps include setting a "DeveloperToolsDisabled" registry entry. Curl / wget wouldn't always be accessible in this kind of locked down setup (and they're probably trying to make it difficult even if it's impossible to block completely).
The economics of using OS X for VFX work just doesn't add up. When the machines from Apple are easily double what a machine built by an integrator will cost. Add to that the hardware support has always been flaky (see: Nvidia/Apple spout causing new cards not to work).

When your house requires you to have a large influx of contact workers, you want to have the cheapest most efficient setup possible. Apple just doesn't cut the mustard here.

A more reasonable approach is to code to standards then do these things:

1. Tell customers it will cost x more money to fix bugs on Safari (likely zero will pay this premium)

2. Put a notice or banner for Safari users that they are using a non standards compliant browser and they may see minor or major issues and maybe should use Firefox or Chrome.

3. Educate customers on standards and show them alternatives so they can do the same for their customers.

4. Record actual brower useage data and demonstrate the low count of actual Safari visitors and star back at #1 above with this newly applied info.
Naval Ravikant once referred to the culture wars as white on white violence.
This makes me think of that ridiculous case in the US with the SSNs on the state website.

I'm not sure what's been debunked. The US does not have the construction capabilities of 1970s France. And for that matter, neither does France, as is being proven in Flamanville and in Olkiluoto, Finland.

Perhaps we can invite Slovakia or Russia to build in other countries, but there's no knowing if they could train local workforces accomplish what they have.
Seconded. Learned this the hard way when I bit off more than I could chew aka I took on the sun.
"illigal online workers" is going to become a term. Why hire a junior in the U.S. for 80K when you can hire a Junior in India for 15K? There isn't some magic difference. Programming is a universal language, the only difference in who can program and who can't is funding of education. We are doing very, very poorly on education funding in the U.S., with only the top uni's with impossible tuiton costs providing anything of value.
Speaking of Wikipedia, nearly 100% of the time when I Google something medical related I want to get the Wikipedia page for it. Not WebMD or Mayo clinic or whatever. But Google never includes the Wikipedia link (at least on the first page of results), so I have to append “… wiki” to the search. I can only assume this is intentional.
I imagine (good) insurance would pay the owner and then file the lawsuit. Don’t think the owner would need to sue directly.
This is for the chromeos devices/managed chrome browsers [1]. From the bug [2] it looks like this was relevant in a school setting, where this is common. So the school hands out some chromebooks and wants to use that managed environment to prevent kids cheating on quizzes by looking at source code.

DRM and related technologies are an effort to wrest control of devices away from their owners, and give control the manufacturers and software companies. For managed devices, this is a bit more reasonable (a school should be able to manage its devices I suppose) but the technological framework here also eliminates software freedom.

You've used the word "execute" to cast Grosskreutz as the aggressor. He didn't even shoot, did he.

The culture war is not a creation of those selling ads. (It's fueled by the outrage machine that the ad-sellers drive, but they didn't originate it.)

"Winning" would look like the other side being marginalized, and everyone else agreeing that you were right, and agreeing with and implementing your political and social program. But since this involves the utter capitulation of the other side, which is north of 40% of the population, that's not going to happen. Instead, the threat makes the other side more outraged, and therefore more extreme.
Is it? I've never seen anybody in the field claim that.

What has been learned at Flamanville that could be transferred elsewhere?
Bootstrapping!
Chrome uses a `view-source` scheme to trigger showing the source of a web page. This change allows Chrome Enterprise administrators to add `view-source:*` to their blocklist so Chrome instances governed by an enterprise policy with that enabled (like at a school or company) wouldn't be able to visit those pages and so wouldn't be able to view source in the browser.
It’s such hyperbole that it’s difficult for anyone to believe that it isn’t simply a statement made in bad faith.
MWh makes solar look very good because they can pump cheap energy during the day, but none during the night.

33% capacity factor is unheard of, US is around 25%, and even that is higher than most of the world. Not even excellent desert states in the US don't break 30% https://www.statista.com/statistics/1019796/solar-pv-capacit...

Currently the West has massively inflated prices because there is no economy of scale. A planned economy + economies of scale might just pull it off. Especially if they're going to build the nuclear plants in factories, like the west is trying to do now. We'll see.

I'm personally rooting for all the technologies, except coal. Even gas is good as a temporary measure - it allows us to get off coal faster.
You can't have it both ways.

Either allow the government to turn down most of these loans and charge higher interest rates based on credit-worthiness or make bankruptcy very difficult. What you want is the bankrupcty rights of a non-government guaranteed loan in which credit worthiness is taken into account, but interest rates and credit availability of a loan in which the bankruptcy rights are substantially reduced.

That's not possible. I agree we should abolish these lending guarantees entirely and let the private sector provide loans and charge whatever interest rate they want if people can just walk away from the loan. But that's not the interest rate people are paying now, so that's not an option for existing borrowers.
But why? I would like to be able to text my wife while she’s at work. Shouldn’t I be free to do that without sacrificing my right to privacy? Or should we just keep technology the same as it was in the 18th century?
How high are they?
Sounds like these students are learning more in the process of cheating than they'd learn from the multiple-choice quiz.
I would argue the opposite actually. If the US had embraced trains as people movers early on, with local subway systems, I'd imagine we'd have seen even more economic growth than we did. Our cities would be far more prosperous, our people healthier, our energy footprint lower. Better social mobility..

It seems likely that cars actually hindered average GDP growth from '45 to today, rather than helping it.
The solution is more offensive to Americans than the problem. Stricter controls on online content including ads. Alas, that would be censorship.
Hmm, so I'm assuming from this post that this same Safari CSS bug is present in GNOME Web too?

So they're serving the answers with the questions, and get annoyed when the students figure this out. What a lark. How about using a system which doesn't do that?

Straight to jail. Assets seized by insurance underwriter.
For context, this is is not allowing websites to prevent View Source for all users. Rather it is a setting that administrators can set on Google Chrome installations within their company/school/etc.

That said, I highly doubt that Google would take this feature request seriously if this were not associated with another Google property. For example, I can't imagine that if Typeform users opened a similar bug ticket that it would see any traction. To me this highlights a danger I had not considered before around the monopoly power of Google - inane requests that would benefit properties within the Google ecosystem get undue consideration despite it harming the broader ecosystem.
Sure, but the CIA has existed since 1947- if it were illegal for them to gather information on citizens from companies who willingly give it up (for free or for sale), it would've already been decided and would apply to today's data.
It's your opinion that Safari is inferior and broken. IMO desktop Safari is better on UI, privacy, and features like autofilling SMS 2FA codes. It's "behind" on APIs like WebUSB or Idle Detection, and that's another plus: I don't want that stuff.

> Chrome became popular and is popular because it works.

Google promotes Chrome by leveraging the most valuable real estate on the web: the google.com homepage, and GMail popups. This ad space is unavailable to everyone else. They also bundled Chrome with Adobe Flash installers.

I agree Chrome is a good product, but Google uses their influence in search and email to gain Chrome market share. That's fine, it's their prerogative, but it means Chrome's rise is not pure organic growth based on its technical merit.

Yes, those words were said, but you are ignoring the context and assuming it means something that it does not. The broader context is that the judge is justifying why Apple's actions do not violate the Sherman Act. The immediate context is as follows:

> Indeed, while the Court finds no basis for the specific rate chosen by Apple (i.e., the 30%
rate) based on the record, the Court still concludes that Apple is entitled to some compensation for use of its intellectual property. As established in the prior sections, see supra Facts §§ II.C., V.A.2.b., V.B.2.c., Apple is entitled to license its intellectual property for a fee, and to further guard against the uncompensated use of its intellectual property. [...]

The judge is not here determining that Apple is due any percentage of non-in-app purchases given the current contract, the judge is determining that (as far as the Sherman Act goes) apple is entitled to create a contract licensing it's intellectual property in that manner. Apart from the lack of any language finding such a contract exists, finding so would be wholly inappropriate given that it isn't a question on trial in the case.

> BTW, everybody in Arizona has A/C. Amazingly, A/C demand peaks when the sun is high in the sky.

Here in California, peak AC demand is late afternoon.
Environmental thermal mass means peak outdoor temperature happens a fair bit after peak insolation. Structures take even more time to heat up and add additional delay. Finally, people arriving home from work means increased AC use, too.

Demand stays fairly high after it gets dark.

(And it's my understanding most other places keep daytime heat later than here).

EDF has been quietly acquiring land around existing nuclear power plants for many years (like Cattenom, near Luxembourg), with the unstated but likely goal of expanding them rather than going for brand new sites.

In some cases EDF even planned building more reactors from the very beginning, for example at the nuclear power plant of Belleville-sur-Loire: everything was planned for 4 reactors, but only 2 were built. So they can build two extra right there, no need to find a new site.

The current not so small problem is that EDF needs to learn how to build nuclear reactors again. That's what they are currently doing, at great cost and great delays... But if the political will is there, they can start to break ground quite literally tomorrow.
Yep, and the context here is complex.

Couldn't Rosenbaum, Huber and Grosskreutz also claim self-defense?

Simply speaking hypothetically:
Rosenbaum tried to disarm an armed a teenager.
Huber tried to stop someone who already shot someone.
Grosskreutz tried to hold someone at gunpoint who already shot two people.

Could it simply be that both sides saw the other as threat?
