Amusingly enough the ice cream problems are caused by a machine that’s automated and designed to run without people having to do work on it, but this causes it to be offline.
Yes, American companies love to stack the deck against their users when it comes to selecting venue, but at the same time balk when the EU requires that they have an EU anchor to allow legal enforcement.
They're all drugs, sure, no shit. But there definitely is a difference.
Much like how there is a difference between antibiotics and NSAIDs.
I don't see any basis why the complaint is interesting - there's assertion that the ice cream machine manufacturer is copying features of the competitor's device, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to do and, in the absence of patent protection (the word "patent" is not mentioned in the article) absolutely permissible; and there's some assertion of "stealing trade secrets" without asserting any actual compromise of a secret by someone entrusted to keep it, but rather an act which looks like reverse engineering a product (which, again, does not require a permission for physical devices not covered by patents or copyright; trade secret law explicitly states that reverse engineering is a lawful way of acquiring trade secrets) and its documentation, which should be considered a very reasonable thing to do for anyone with a hacker mentality. Trade secret applies only to things that you actually keep secret, all the things you sell or give to your customers aren't trade secrets any more.

"There was a concerted effort to not only obtain and copy our device and follow everything we were doing, but then also, when it hit a critical mass, to actually put us out of business," - that's pretty much textbook definition of market competition, not an indication of anything shady.

"Kytch argued in its initial legal complaint that the company didn't truly copy Kytch's device to try to fix McDonald's ice cream machines, but simply to have a competing product it could tout to McDonald's—and McDonald's franchisees—in order to prevent Kytch from fixing those machines." - again, it's perfectly legitimate to try and make a competing product to tout to McDonalds; unless they're violating a specific patent, it's their right to do so; more competition is a good thing to have.
> [10] Make your project robust to re-orgs. A company management hierarchy is inherently fragile (a tree is a 1-connected graph, after all); socialize the project continuously with managers who might take over in the future. Do whatever it takes to make sure that manager churn does not result in unfair career outcomes for ICs.

> [17] For storage systems, bias heavily in the beginning towards consistency and durability rather than availability; these are harder to measure and harder to fix if broken. Because availability is easier to measure, there will be external pressure to prioritize it first; push back.

It's kind of crazy how well the author is able to move from the very top to the very bottom of the technical project management stack.
His art was so good. Just perfect.
This isn't the case everywhere. In some countries it is the intent of the law that matters, in others it is the letter of the law, in some a mix of both.
“I sometimes wonder what a better McDonalds would look like.”

I think a better McDonalds looks a lot like In and Out. If the Founder is accurate, McDonalds was a lot like In and Out at one time and operated like it. Chick-fil-a operates similarly.

One thing that is always fascinating to me when I go to either of those two fast food restaurants is the army of workers they have on staff at any time. Usually each doing one very specific job and doing it well. They seem to make up for the extra labor cost by having higher sales per store.
Yes, Chocolate Alchemy is a wonderful resource for anyone who wants to learn how to make chocolate. To answer your questions about cleaning the CocoTerra machine...

There are only two parts of the machine that require cleaning: the mold ring and the processing chamber. The mold ring can be rinsed in the sink with warm water or simply put in the dishwasher. Our goal is to make the chamber dishwasher safe as well. But even without using a dishwasher, the processing chamber is easy to clean. You simply flush warm water through the chamber while swirling around the processing media (the balls) to clean the system. The balls on the inside of the chamber will clean the interior surface of the chamber, while the water comes out the opening in the bottom taking the remnant chocolate with it. The outside lip of the chamber can be cleaned with a small brush. The entire process takes a couple minutes.

100% agree that people shouldn't be scare to try.

Yep, just left a company where the contractors building out a core solution had just such an endpoint where you could get anyone's data, and worse, personal photos.

And of course, every API key and secret was just hanging out in the repo as well.
Tithing 10% comes from the laws of moses in the old testament, and most denominations agree that providing some material support to the church is an obligation, but dont formally specify the extent. Catholic parishes often recommend 5% to the church, and 5% to the poor / needy through one means or another.

OTOH, a nearby Unitarian / mega-style church made signing a form with your annual salary and a pledge to tithe a minimum percentage a formal requirement for membership. I heard they were active in enforcing it, but never bothered joining.

I.e. see
https://www.uua.org/finance/fundraising/generosity/185418.sh...

Note under the "collection plate" header that they suggest you give in a way that has your name on it so it can count toward your pledge- they definitely track individual tithes.
Criticism of Netflix
Not sure about OP, but I live in Argentina, and there is no Apple Pay, Stripe, or Cash App here either. Not in most of the Latin American countries, actually. I had to make a U.S Wyoming company in order to be able to use Stripe. And Latin America is a pretty big chunk of land, with a ton of people.

And with the ever-increasing inflation of 40% YoY and government restrictions on the ability to convert foreign currency to local currency, crypto P2P is a saving grace here.

I do think most crypto stuff is probably still a scam, but the ability to buy stable coins and sell them to someone local here for peso's by getting 2x more than I would with the official central bank rate is a godsend.
Indeed, a wonderland where it is OK for a 2 trillion dollar company to take 5 years to fix vulnerabilities that put in danger many of its users worldwide.

Educational technology has existed for many decades now, built by academia and industry alike. It seems to largely have played a very minor role if even that in the successful advancement of the rate of educating children. If you think you have methods that could significantly improve that, you’d have a great impact on the world. I’d love to hear these bunch of ways.

Mostly I believe it happens because 95% of tech founders have no business being anywhere near the c Suite. So they fall prey to venture bandits who will let them call themselves ceo or entrepreneur. If you're actually ceo material, use debt, private or commercial. Figure out the Toronto stock exchange.
Because it allows them to enforce policies on where and how you spend your money. In an authoritarian regime this can be abused pretty badly.

Harmonix Joins Epic Games to Create Immersive Music Experiences
Are there still public summer school programs for gifted students on advanced topics? There were in my day. And I assume those programs nowadays would teach students how to use online resources to advance even farther in math in their spare time than the summer school. Maybe extend those options to a broader range of students.

Yeah, home schooling may also get a big boost, with a stronger use of online resources that allow students to advance at their own pace. Maybe partial home schooling for math and science?

Motivated gifted kids with access to the Internet at home, and a stable home environment, aren’t going to have a problem. But they will need to pick up the ball that the public schools will be dropping. Gifted students in public schools are used to working around those sorts of issues.

Skipping grades would be problematic in my experience. Socialization and broadened perspectives have to be gotten somehow. Crash-and-burns are pretty common.
Infants tailor their attention to maximize learning
The concept is absolutely fantastic, I am very intrigued, thanks.
For EVs it's pretty simple, the faster you go, the more power you use, and the more air resistance, and the less miles / kWh. The more power you use, the more power is lost in wiring, the hotter the batteries get and less efficient they are, etc. There's probably some minimum efficient speed, but as you go faster, everything works against you to make things less efficient.

For gas engines it's quite a bit trickier, because a hotter engine gets more complete combustion and more power out the driveshaft per gallon (also more NOx, see VW) and there's a small range of RPMs where power output is best, combined with a transmission gear where efficiency is best, combined that gets you a target speed for best fuel to power at the wheels. But air resistance does get worse as you go faster. So you've got some things pushing you to go faster (sometimes much faster), and other things pushing you to go slower.
We hope that people will use it to make a variety of delicious treats... it starts with personalized chocolate from particular origins, with desired flavors and inclusions (low sugar, vegan, Keto, etc.). But we've also made the most delicious hazelnut chocolate spread as well as coffee bars (think edible coffee). More to come... We hope and expect people to get creative!

Apple sues NSO Group, company known for hacking iPhones on behalf of governments
If you were taking a photography class in the nineties, you would have probably been using B&W film: it's easier to learn to develop yourself, which meant it was easy to start playing around in the darkroom with the various ways you could alter a reel of film by playing with how you developed and printed it. Color film's a lot more complex. If not for a hurricane and a few cross-country moves I'd probably still have some prints of B&W photos I took in a college class, using the 35mm camera I inherited from my father.

If you were someone who was serious about photography to the extent of "I have a nice camera and know how to use it" - maybe it's your hobby, maybe you're somewhere on the path from "likes to take photos" to "makes a living as A Photographer" - then you would have been aware of working in B&W as a valid artistic choice that changes the overall mood of the imagery. A sharp, crisp B&W photo felt pretty modern versus a faded old one.
"Gesamtzahl gemeldeter Intensivbetten (Betreibbare Betten und Notfallreserve" chart shows the ICU stats over time. Occupied beds are roughly a flatline around 20k, with a small 3k seasonal (covid?) variation. OTOH, the total number of available ICU beds have fallen from ~32k to ~24k, 25%. We are all nervous to see how the medical system will weather the winter covid waves, sadly the covid pandemic is far from over. But I'm confused: the data indicates the system has lost significant ICU capacity, a few times more than the seasonal (covid?) utilization variation. What is going on? Is this something Germans also openly worry about?
I wouldn't call it competition since McDonald's specifically forbade franchisees from using Kytch's device.
They are simply em-dashes, if an error should occur, they are replaced with numbers to indicate the error code; they are also color-coded to indicate when I'm not for instance in an SSH session by changing to another color:

—— — true
—— — false
—— 1 sh -c 'exit 120'
120 sh -c 'exit 20'
— 20

It doesn't show the colors here of course.
I think it should be the opposite. When they were raising from just Google, I was worried they might get acquired and ruined.

If they raise so much that they have to IPO, great!
There's nix-gui: https://github.com/nix-gui/nix-gui
The evidence up to this point strongly suggests Taylor and McDonald’s are interested in milking franchisees (who must source equipment from Taylor per their agreement with McDonald’s corporate), while Kytch actively demonstrated attempting to deliver a better engineered product to franchisees. This is important, as it demonstrates racketeering and anti competitive behavior on the part of Taylor and McDonald’s, and it’s possible the FTC gets involved further besides making an inquiry.

One might expect franchisees have the right to repair their purchased equipment, even if forced to purchase specific food sevice equipment as part of their franchise agreement. One would not expect their equipment provider and franchisor to collude against them.
What I'm enjoying is their randomly changing offers post-lockdowns in my country, and how they don't communicate them at all.

Their "gourmet" burgers are now only available from 10:30am to 10:30pm, even in 24 hour joints.

Their "all day breakfast" they spent a lot of money advertising now ends at midday. This was notably not advertised. When I rocked up at 12:15pm looking for my regular Sunday McMuffin, and was informed of the new policy, I kinda understood that famous scene in Falling Down[1].

They have vanilla shakes! Sometimes, maybe. Plenty of the other shakes, but vanilla is hit and miss.

Web 2.0 was definitely a thing … the introduction of social media and targeted advertising as a revenue source changed things a lot. Not to mention cloud computing … but that’s really Web 2.5.

Web 3.0 should probably have something to do with the increasing centralization of web services, and the increasingly common subscription fees everyone is paying.

Instead it’s about blockchains … which are pretty much the only way the web is becoming less centralized.
Why take the risk? I'm fairly certain I have no files with newlines on my system but I see no reason to take the risk.
Thank you for sharing.

> To get people into coding, let them build stuff right away. […] Fry talks about one of his original motives: He wanted to create a language that let newbies a) start making cool-looking visual creations b)very quickly.

This really is a great goal. I love processing for this reason. Also Arduino - it’s the hardware version of the same thing. Same goes for ShaderToy. And I kinda consider Python to almost be a language equivalent of this goal (even though there are lots of decidedly simpler & easier languages).

But I feel like this telling of the story is leaving out the lineage and inspirations of this idea, since it long predates Processing, and there a lot of notable milestones. Logo was founded on the same concept, and I got some of the same thrill from making pictures quickly back when I was a kid. It was so much easier to get something interesting done compared to almost any other language / environment.

I’d love to hear what people consider other meaningful versions of this, before and after Logo. I’m curious if environments like DrawBot and NodeBox, which started around the same time that Processing did, share direct connections, or only share inspirations.
I know of several cases of reverse engineering of a bunch of hardware where the hardware is only available to a very limited subset of professionals. To gain access you either need to join that class and break the terms under which the devices are provided, get someone else to break the terms they agreed to or to steal a device (which for obvious reasons is at a somewhat different level than breach of terms and conditions). It is pretty clear that these restrictions exist to avoid reverse engineering of a - trivial - protection that makes making compatible products impossible, and which in turn protects a non-trivial revenue stream.

Apple is not really all that different. If they believe that suing to prevent reverse engineering is going to stop the bad guys they are delusional, I suspect that they are fully aware of this and are engaging in a very expensive bit of theater here: the NSO Group is not going to be overly impressed by this, whether they win or lose the case. If they lose they will be open to a damage claim, which in turn will have to be enforced through a court in a different country, if they win Apple will lose far more than just this case, they will lose the battle against everybody that wishes to engage in reverse engineering.

Another thing I suspect is that Apple is either very much concerned about the image/reputation damage, their supposedly highly secure platform/environment appears to be less secure than Apple wanted you to believe and a click-through EULA is not going to impress a law breaking entity, they probably should have anticipated that. And Apple may believe that other law breaking entities are going to stop doing their thing if they win this lawsuit, I'm a bit more pessimistic about that. Legal action is not a good way to recover from a technical failure, Apple needs to update their threat model and act accordingly.
At least with CR, their subscriptions are pretty trivial to cancel, and I think they even pro-rate the refunds.

I don't subscribe to them on a regular basis (I don't buy things often), but I have subscribed to them a few times to make a better informed decision on an upcoming purchase.
It worked out well for the guy who made Stardew Valley, I have to admit!
As implemented in Canada, no; all carbon tax dividends (less an amdminisrration fee?) are distrubuted equally to citizens. At least that’s my understanding. I haven’t studied it deeply.

The net result is that the people with the lowest carbon footprint make a profit and the ones with the most take a loss. Seems like a reasonable approach to me.
I prefer less tbh, less pollution of the term output.

Environmental sensors are common in security critical hardware, but very hard to get right.

The problem is that this doesn't work for high performance CPUs, so it can only really be done for things like TSEC or Apple's SEP. You need the CPU to have a large margin where it operates correctly, so the sensor doesn't have to be extremely fast and accurate (which is nigh impossible with on-chip sensors with no external reference). And even then it has to be able to detect things like microsecond-long dips in the supply voltage, or extreme temperatures, or a single clock pulse that's too short. It's really hard.

Several years ago, I got the Wii U PowerPC boot ROM keys out by doing a self contained glitching attack like this. In that case it was a reset glitch, where I pulsed the reset line for less than the required 256 clock cycles (from the ARM core which controls it). At very specific pulse widths (that varied from device to device), that got the CPU into an inconsistent execution state that eventually fell out of the Boot ROM and into code I'd placed in RAM. That one could've easily been mitigated by a reset stretcher circuit, but it's another fun example of a "self-glitch" attack with no additional hardware.
For some reason, i just can’t fathom that it would be wise for a stable economic system to connect to such an unstable system - the only reason to champion such would be to create instability at larger scale.
