It's a deception.

Apple is not technically lying, but they are being deceitful.

It's about the bigger picture - the purpose of the communication. As much what it leaves out as what it leaves in, instead of it's technical correctness - the press release fits into the definition of propaganda.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

>Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented.
Of course they can, the person above was alluding to the fact that keeping an inventory of parts often costs more than the parts themselves.

Some of it is a desire for socialization mediated by a computer. Some of it is that PC gamers were getting online to play games and necessarily ended up having to talk about it (servers, patches, mods).
> Likewise CNN made fun of Joe Rogan for taking Ivermectin because we don't want general public to experiment with alternative medicine. It's better to just stick to the proven stuff.

Ivermectin is not alternative medicine. Ivermectin used for COVID symptoms is off-label use.

CNN made fun of him because he dared stray from the official narrative and he dared try doing something through his own research rather than doing exactly as the government and media told him to do.

According to https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/

Take this with a large grain of salt, but possibly about 1/3 the size of coinbase and nearly 1/15 the size of binance by volume.

Using https://etherscan.io/gastracker#gassender to see who spends the most gas in ether (not the best metric but it's something) they're somewhere in the realm of a quarter the gas spending compared to binance and coinbase in the last 24 hours.

IMO - they're relatively tiny. They are not a common name in the crypto space outside of their aggressive marketing, and only recently have people really talked about them at all (in the crypto space).

They are not well established in the crypto space, I think they're going for a brute-force marketing approach to force their way in.
There are at least 4 crypto trading apps advertising during prime time on Dutch TV, a country of 17mm people. Insane. It just feels like it's 2000 all over, in so many respects. I look at my stock brokerage accounts every couple of days and it's all up up up, at insane rates. The only thing I wonder is not if but when the music will stop.
It doesn't help that ".com" is in their brand name, especially now that there's going to be a physical place named after it. "Let's meet at Crypto.com Arena" is hard to understand and sounds lame at the same time.
This is the most tone-deaf thing I have read today. Logging in to a website is miles easier than waiting hours in a phone queue.
> AASPs and IRPs do NOT get access to 'tools, manuals and parts'. They get access to batteries and screens at significant markup and repair manuals that say "mail device to Apple" in case of other defects. Yes, AASPs are Prohibited from component level repair.

It may depend on the territory and the specific AASP but this isn’t universally true. This is understating what AASPs have access to and the types of repairs they can carry out.

Not to unduly support Apple though - they are admittedly very restrictive on all this.
> This is the main reason I keep using Emacs for my everyday use.

This might be my number two reason. I learned Emacs in 2000. Meanwhile, I've not had to learn, over and over again, all those other editors and IDE's. To be sure, I've honed my Emacs skills, installed and learned new tools in it (hello flycheck, elpy, SLIME, org-mode, TRAMP, CEDET), and just generally get on with whatever I'm working on ATM.

My number one reason has been the power though, especially after reading things like this: https://blog.vivekhaldar.com/post/3996068979/the-levels-of-e...
To get ahead of the obvious question I had and I’m sure others will, this is from the README:

> Cython is a programming language whose goal is to facilitate writing C extensions for the Python language. In particular, it can translate (optionally) statically typed Python-like code into C code that relies on CPython. Similarly to the considerations made for Nuitka, this makes it a powerful tool whenever it is possible to rely on libpython (and when its overhead is negligible, i.e., when dealing with sufficiently large scale computations), but not in the context of interest here.

I.e., it’s a python-like DSL that does not depend on the Python runtime.

Thanks for sharing OP, this is pretty cool.
Almost anything any government does is extremely complicated, and yet most of the developed ones succeed in ways our fails at. Why are we unique? Countries poorer than us, less dense than us, smaller than us, still manage to provide many basic services, rights, protections, and guarantees that ours does not. This is American exceptionalism gone awry.

Those things you mentioned aren't recent developments. Yes, there was a time when our government was capable of producing good output. What happened? Why are we still judging today's government by its successes of decades past...? Most of what you mentioned is literally last-century tech. The world has moved on; our government has not.

> You can blame the Government for not solving all shorts of issues, but people complain while at the same time they largely don’t want state or federal government internet.

Maybe there's one class of issues that government can't deliver on because the public mandate isn't quite there yet, like single-payer healthcare. But there's another class of issues that the public DOES want, the government already wrote the laws and allocated the budget for, and then did absolutely nothing about (like rural broadband grants basically going to corrupt telcos, with zero real enforcement). That has nothing to do with the lack of public will, just sheer incompetence and corruption.

Then there's the outright unconstitutional things, like warrantless wiretapping or drone assassinations of US citizens... to say nothing of recent developments, like Roe v Wade.

It's not that our boondoggles our more visible, it's that we fail at providing basic services for a huge portion of the population -- things that most other developed democracies can provide without much issue or controversy. By that measure, we fall far short.
I suppose that ultimate control will lie with whoever owns the most resources, and how badly those people want to come back to Earth. If you have more carrots or sticks available to you on Mars than other people there do, then you can influence them, making you the de-facto ruler. If you declare yourself supreme leader of Mars and then go kill a bunch of people, when you land back on Earth for your friend's cousin's grandma's birthday party, you'll just be arrested.

Realistically, corporations will probably get to Mars first, but governments won't be far behind. I would recommend keeping your rage-killings to a minimum for that reason.

I don't think you have to go to Mars to do this. Many factions have claimed convenient islands on Earth as their own and have built highly functional societies even though other entities claim that they're the actual government. But of course, those societies watch the power struggle very nervously. If you can do it 80 miles off the coast of China, you can probably do it 230 million miles away.

> She recalls how AWS “aggressively” recruited her, offering a quick path to higher-level roles and better pay

That is sexism on Amazons part by definition. It also directly contradicts her discrimination assessment.

At this point I have what some would call prejudice against people wanting to reshape me for inclusion and diversity. I would call that experience though.

Of course you will have difficulties if they plant a diversity hire in a high position just because she is a women. That reaction isn't sexism of course and the hate should ideally be directed at those promoting "positive discrimination" instead of her, but it isn't surprising.

I accepted my culture as terrible by now. Sue me please.

If she wants to syphon sympathy of unrelated groups for personal career, firing her was a good decision. This is no management quality.

Is there a way to push content directly to Pages instead of having it pull from Github or Gitlab? Many teams have their own deployment tooling with pre-existing git integrations, and would rather add a Pages target to that. For example Netlify lets you bypass their github pull feature. Does Cloudflare?
I do not think so no; I am from a CRT generation and I never noticed even with burnt in amber or monochromes(green). If you cannot stand that, eInk won't work for you I guess.
One of the principles of the Outer Space Treaty [1] is that "outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means." So that seems to prevent existing nations from claiming the rights of government in respect of Mars (in whole or in part) and the people on it. Whether it prevents new indigenous nations from forming there is (I assume) anyone's guess. And it may just be ignored anyway.

I suspect that if and when people eventually get to Mars and get to stay there, the various stakeholders (earth governments, blocs, and corporations) will initially cook-up something similar to the Antarctic Treaty [2] that has regulated human conduct in Antarctica for the last sixty years. And that'll stay in-place until it hits it's scaling limits, whereupon it'll be replaced by something with more involvement from local people and institutions. What that would look like, I don't know.

Geography is history and Mars isn't anything like Earth, so it'll have its own historical development. The people there will still be people, but they'll be changed by their experience. I'm not sure that templates from Earth (perhaps even including the concept of constitutions) will be useful beyond the short term.

I have a question about this. I don't use unencrypted storage and RPis have no hardware accelerated extensions.

But modern SSDs do, and IMO it is good enough for some stuff even considering the issues. They call it Self Encrypted Disks but I don't know if this feature requires some BIOS specific instructions or special devices like TMPs or if there are special parameters one could pass to GEOM or LUKS to use those encryption capabilities.

Anyone could give me a brief explanation on SED and if they could be used on RPi?
Ah interesting point. I meant it more like: height is a trait, some are tall, others short.

Its not that I think an ancestral perspective is a bad one. Its just that:

- existing hunter-gatherers have a bewildering array of different diets, many of them high in carbs and vegetation.

- wild meat is very different from farmed meat (yes, even grass-fed beef) - it has way less saturated fat, to begin with.

- When do you stop the clock on evolution? My ancestors were almost certainly peasants. Probably so were yours. So while they weren't eating modern ultra-processed food, they were probably eating closer to a whole-foods based vegan/vegetarian diet on a daily basis, with meat on special occasions - for thousands of years.

My pet theory is that, to the extent that Paleo, Low Carb, but also Whole Foods Vegan diets work, its because they all cut out ultra-processed foods. However, to the extent that sellers of ultra-processed foods can catch up and start selling you processed keto foods etc., these diets will stop working.
Thanks for filling in the details.

The article would be more interesting if it was able to include a breakdown of the types of vaccines in the population for the period of time it's referencing.
the diet of the future is disordered eating
Typescript… Hated it as first. But once I realized it was for writing JavaScript with a C# flavor, I don’t think we could go back.

The only thing that makes me scratch me head about TS is that you declare your types backwards compared to C#. Ex. value:string vs. string value.

Is there any good reason for why Microsoft did that? Or can that be updated so a C# developer can jump into Typescript and write TS and TSX components with less friction?
If the path keeps being bumpy you probably took a wrong turn.
The four "marks" of the Church that are listed in the Nicene Creed are that it is one, holy, catholic (that is, universal), and apostolic. The hierarchy of bishops and the Pope (the Bishop of Rome) are the apostolic part; Catholics consider them the successors of the apostles.
Typing text into this box on HN seems pretty easy.
And evolved creatures are incomplete machines.

We didn't just evolve to a diet from 300,000 or 30,000 or 3,000 years ago. We accumulated adaptations suited to all of those diets -- and genetic drift that made us unsuited to anything else -- and then our diet shifted and we began adapting to new foodstuffs instead.

There's no factory default diet for us to reset to. It was always a moving target.
Nice design indicates high-value information. The high-value information is what I was expecting, given the nice design.

Yeah, I feel your pain. I hate Windows more and more every day, but whenever I try to use a Linux Desktop for anything serious I find I hate that even more. Some day Microsoft will achieve a level of awfulness that makes Linux Desktop's awfulness the more tolerable alternative for me, but it won't be today.

Maybe if I get really really lucky Haiku will be usable for my use cases by then, but that doesn't look very likely.
> emacs users just live in another world entirely, this whole interaction I find typical of users who evangelize for emacs

It's not that emacs users "live in another world entirely", it's that some things a very difficult to explain to folks who don't have first-hand experience of those things. Try describing what minus 20 degrees Celsius feels like to someone who's spent their entire life in Florida, or Brazil. You can't really, it has to be experienced to be understood.

It's no different with emacs. Emacs doesn't really make any sense until you use it for a while, then all of sudden you "get it" and don't want to use anything else.
Typescript is far far superior to Python's type annotations. It's not close.

1. Probably 90% of the JS ecosystem has type definitions. Python is more like 40% so you're constantly hitting issues with dependencies lacking types.

2. Python only describe how to write down the annotations not what they mean. So you have several different type checkers that sometimes disagree on quite basic stuff like whether a variable can change type or not.

3. There are some holes in the annotation system, e.g. you can't properly annotate `kwargs`. It's a really bad idea to use kwargs but Python programmers don't usually write the highest quality code, and they often end up using kwargs a lot, so it would be nice to be able to type them.

Don't choose Python.

Mortal Cities: The Irreversible Disappearance of Mostar
Correlates with my experience of late 2013 MBP batteries (it might be the same model actually). My original Apple battery lasted until 2019. Both of the iFixit replacements have lasted a year until not holding original charge, and just last night I noticed a cell starting to swell.

I doubt I'll ever find factory original cells again for the 2013 but if Apple sells them I'd consider buying a MBP again.
You can grab few books on the topic or attend an online course. Both will give you an idea, or a taste of the different issues at play.

> Dogs do find some smells repulsive;

Growing up I had a dog that would eat anything. ANYTHING. He was a shop dog and lived with a few other dogs in my fathers shop (they came home on occasion). He would lick the stainless steel chips out of the milling machine trough and his poop would sparkle in the sun. He enjoyed chewing on razor sharp contiguous spiral steel chips from a stainless job we ran on a lathe. Loved eating leather work gloves, and chewing up buffing wheels and the buffing wax. He would find stray cat poops in the yard and merrily chew and play with them. Eat a dead squirrel carcass and stink like it for a day? no problem! Unclog the toilet and lick the poop off the plunger? Delish! My mother bought in the remains of a chicken dinner and he got a hold of the whole chicken skeleton when no one was looking and ate the thing in under 2 minutes, bones and all. He also once got into a bag of little balloons and was pooping out rainbows. He would let himself out (sneak out) and roam the neighborhood once eating the groceries of a neighbor who set them down on the porch to unlock her door. Never had to go to the vet for eating anything. He was a Shepard mix and died at 16 and a half. That dogs stomach was stronger than anything in that shop, truly a shop dog worthy of the title.

What didn't he eat? Anything you'd put Sweet and sour sauce on. Found that out after trying to give him leftover burger king nuggets. The one thing the dog wouldn't eat was actually something delicious. Probably the vinegar.
The article addresses that directly:

"Note that this is a very different challenge from the “replication crisis” that has most famously plagued social psychology.

> So while it looked promising, sadly the next day I was already back to using gmail addresses

I know this pain point well. Some sites, instead of using a blacklist of every single disposable e-mail service, just use a whitelist of 'popular' email domains like gmail.com, outlook.com, yahoo.com etc

This is why I have accounts with gmail and other popular e-mail providers. That's the only reason. Sad that you have to conform to be a normie just to use a website. Thank all the bots and bad faith actors for that...
What makes me incredibly cautious is every time I log into teams from my personal (only) computer it presents me with the option (defaulted to yes) to "Allow My Organization To Manage My Device".
