Is that true? In my state the financing bank has a lien recorded on on the title, but they are not the owner. Maybe that is the exception?

Edit: reading some other comments ... I'm talking about the traditional financed purchase of a car, not a lease. Agree that for a leased car (which is quite common now though I've never done it), the ownership stays with the leasing entity.
I was never expecting to wake up to all of this.... nor even expecting to get noticed with all of the amazing content and everything that's already shared.

This tech news/blog of mine is a fun project for my friends and I to do... I just want to offer good tech reads to people about the subjects which we know best.

The support overall here is amazing. I was suggested by a good friend of mine to share it here to see what happens. Wow. Just wow.
Does this happen enough to be sure it would be cheaper for them to fix it than to just pay a settlement every time it happens?
That and the endless link rot.
How did the laws or rules for that process come about?
Apple knows who owns any given tag, even if they don't know who located the tag, and an iPhone is required to set up the tag. If they hadn't thrown the tag away, looking up the associated ID would have been trivial. I'm not sure if Apple's system will let you pair a tag to a phone that isn't on a cellular network, but if not, that's yet another point of identity for a potential thief or stalker.

So the potential thief/stalker is using a cellular handset that can identify them on an account that can identify them to use a $25 tracker that can identify them. Or, they've stolen someone else's phone, assumed that person won't trigger the lost phone kill-switch in time for them to complete whatever task they've set out for themselves, paired a tag to the stolen phone (which I believe requires the account password and phone passcode to do, but it's been a while since I've done it), and then tracked the victim. It seems like a massive risk compared to buying a plain GPS tracker & pre-paid SIM, but then again, criminals don't tend to be the smartest.
It looks like we are going to get into a "if-by-whiskey" argument. By "left", I meant the American "liberal" left, the EU-loving social democrats and so on. If you don't want to consider them "real left", fine. But the overall point is that these groups are by and large supporters of increased centralization and keep defending their policies on the grounds that "all it takes is a government with good intentions and people will be nicely living in Kumbaya-land".
Yes, you really own the vehicle, and that is why if Tesla intentionally just bricks/locks you out of your car because they feel like it, you would sue them and almost certainly win in court.
You seem to be confusing two things (well, really just you're being hyperbolic):

TRUE: the dot BEING THERE is useless (and undesireable and bad)

FALSE: the dot makes Macs useless for live visuals

Just because something is 100% bad design, bothersome, 100% negative, and should never have been allowed to happen, does NOT mean it destroys a product entirely.

When Mini Coopers were made with the stupidest turn signals ever (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28661282) that doesn't make the car undrivable even though there's ABSOLUTELY no defense of the design.
I just updated straight from macOS Catalina to Monterey, and one thing that's really bugging me is the Microphone Usage indicator in the top right corner. I have this app called "Background Music" to help amplify the otherwise terrible audio of my earbuds. I know it's using my microphone; I don't need this constant annoying overlay. Anyone know a solution?

Your smartphone does that just fine and has been done so for years now.
The Statue of Liberty does not dictate complex public policy. America provides more (no strings-attached) aid to poor countries than any other country, and it also takes in more immigrants than perhaps the rest of the world combined (almost every country in the world has a net positive emigration rate to the USA).

In the film editing space workstations use dedicated video I/O hardware which fully circumvents the display/video stack of the OS to be able to input/output exactly the pixels you want in exactly the format you want (something that's essentially impossible using OS facilities, much less in a cross-platform manner). This seems like a very good application for those cards (they're not particularly expensive, around 200 bucks [1]).

I'm in a similar boat. 1.75x is probably the best speed for me for most speakers, but until I was able to speed up audio/video I also had a really hard time paying attention in lectures / watching informative content.
What exactly do you mean with "edge cases"? For what it's worth, the decoder has been fuzzed[1] and the benchmark suite[2] with 2800 images en-/ and decodes without losing any pixels, as checked by qoibench[3].

In theses cases, is audio being input into the Mac and that's why it shows up, because they're "recording" into the application generating the visuals? I don't understand why the Microphone notification is there at all if it's just outputting audio/video. Are these applications recording audio? Or is it just a result of the APIs/permissions they end up using?

Seems like there should be a compromise where apps that are using line input instead of the physical microphone could be exempt from the dot.
Other investors back in the day passed on this and told him they believed it to be a scam, but that did not stop Pieper from taking the CEO role in the company that was to commercialize Jan Sloot's 'invention'. Pieper did a lot of stuff that was questionable (Ring!Rosa for instance), but the list is much longer.

The biggest thing he messed up was probably killing Philips as a viable brand (but to be honest that giant was already on the way down for a while).
Because it's not part of the visuals, which should be the only thing on the output. Maybe it's because I've actually run systems for this exact purpose, but I'm kind of surprised at how difficult this seems to be for some to grasp.

Hyper IOTization. I'm coining the term.

- pots that tell you when they are hot.

- bikes that say their tires are flat.

- weights that track how many reps you did.

- shoes that tell you: stop landing on your heels so hard.

- pillboxes that shove pills down your throat.

- pillboxes that shove politics down your throat.

- chargers that tell you their pronouns are he/him.

- coffee mugs that tell you weather.

- pants that say you've worn them too long.

- windshields that tell you to stop texting.

- food containers that tell you maybe you shouldn't eat that leftover casserole.

IOT is gonna be the next big thing, get on the hype train cause this ones for real. Don't be left behind still writing SQL.
Well done for persevering, but it sounds like you missed the obvious. If you want to start a business, study business (and marketing).

Since you spent time marketing there are 2 conclusions: nobody cared, or you didn't manage to find people who would have. Learning marketing should have taught you both those things.

The classic marketing line is: find a gap in the market or an undeserved niche, understand their needs better than the competition so you can solve their needs better. Then tell them and they should be delighted, becoming your customer. Then work hard to maintain their custom.

Coders think they just need to spaff out products, but you need to build something people actually want if you want to start a business.

It's not too late. Seriously, take some marketing courses at a university.
http://captive.apple.com was my go to just because I'd see it flash in the url bar before redirecting when connecting to airplane wifi. I like the subdomain, it's an apt description of the state your in before passing through the login/payment flow for these kinds of networks.
For the same reason why you may not want to see an orange dot when you watch a movie in a theater and also the reason art galleries don't put orange dots in front of artworks.

It is a special case where Macs connected to a projector are used to display live visual. The microphone is on, most likely so that the visuals can respond to sounds, and you get to show an ugly orange dot to your audience.

Macs are used a lot in the entertainment industry so it is not an insignificant problem.
These listings seem limited from a cursory glance. And what does European mean?

If a German company hosts everything on Google or AWS is it still considered European? Or if a Romanian company moves HQ to New York and still does development mainly in Romania like UI Path?

Or what if you are an American company with all or most of your dev team in say Sweden or Hungary? Does that make you European?

And if you are say a non-European company but meet all the European data protection and compliance requirements and the European counterparts do not?

How to leverage security frameworks and libraries for secure code
> it just works.

Going to push back on this line specifically, HN has a number of issues. They're not dealbreakers, but they're also not particularly hard to fix with modern HTML. HN has generally kind of bad accessibility/semantics, it's pretty frustrating to use on mobile, and it degrades kind of poorly without Javascript (collapsing thread buttons still appear even though they don't work, also, collapsing thread buttons don't work without JS).

HN is (unironically) a great example of how kind of hacky you can make something and how little you can iterate on it while people still are mostly able to use it for its intended purpose. And (with the exception of maybe its blind accessibility problems) it should be held up as a great example of that.

But it's not a good example of "do things simply and they'll just work well." If anything, HN is a great example of why stuff like tables were abandoned. And the HTML isn't even that simple, this must have been a royal pain to build, everything everywhere is another embedded table. It's a weird dig at how bad some major websites have become that people don't see HN's HTML as bloated or convoluted.

Ever really dug into how HN threading works? Everything is a top-level comment, and it inserts transparent images to create the illusion of indentation. It's a wildly out-of-left-field solution that makes parsing out and styling threads way harder than it needs to be. Seriously, I've spent way too much time trying to figure out how to make CSS selectors for custom user-styling work on child comments/replies on a site that is supposed to be displaying a comment tree in the DOM tree. There's a one-to-one mapping there, you don't really need a complicated visual slight-of-hand to display this information; just put the comments in the tree.

Again, not to get mad at HN; but I think people use it as a positive example in the wrong situations. HN has bad HTML with obvious downsides that would be pretty easy to fix, but it turns out that creating an elegant website and filing off the rough edges is actually a really small part of running a community, and doesn't matter that much in the long run when compared to other things you could be doing to foster that community (like moderation/curation), and that is a very good lesson for tech people to learn from HN. But nobody should praise the HTML on this site, there are much better examples out there on the web of sites that use simple HTML to great effect.

> (Applications are a different matter obviously)

Much more minor push-back but I actually would love to see more applications embrace the interactive document model even when fully native and fully offline. Not all applications, but a bunch of them. Stuff like calculators, calendars, even bigger applications like database software/image viewers/file browsers, etc...

User-accessible stylesheets for applications, user-accessible scraping tools for applications, etc... I think there's a lot of potential for user computing hidden behind a willingness to say, "no, many applications are just text displayed in tree/table form when you think about it, and the app/document divide was always sort of nonsense."
I think that's a great extra credit question.

A real-life version is, Bob's reactor was scheduled to be shut down in a few years, but now he's applied to extend its lifespan by another 20 years. Should that be allowed? If so, are there any conditions under which he should NOT be allowed further extensions?
> seeing car's location on a map when it's being driven by someone else, viewing live dash cam (sentry) footage while the car is parked remotely...

I'm concerned these features in specific may be used by abusive spouses to track and control their partners (or extract revenge upon them). It's honestly pretty grim when you can't even use the "shared" (abuser likely would be the sole 'owner' on the title) vehicles to escape an abusive situation. Any upside of this kind of feature is very must overshadowed by the abuses enabled.

Additionally, I'm sad that if I do something stupid in a parking lot (say I fall and hurt myself) that the video can be recorded by any number of vehicles and posted to facebook/youtube/etc for yucks. Nothing can be done about it, there's no way to stop it. I hate it, though, and I hate that people are excited for these terrible slipshod "features" that won't help them as much as they hurt others.
And nature (maybe with our hand) will catch up. It's playing cat and mouse with a mouse that stands still once the plastic is produced.

Is this dot anything more than a software feature? If so, its absence doesn't actually prove that sound isn't being monitored.

What you want is a dedicated LED that is routed directly to the sound input being on at the circuit board level: like the amplifier is on, or that path is enabled by hardware or whatever. Even then, if the meaning assignment is "LED glowing = sound monitored", you cannot trust it entirely: the LED being off could mean that the LED itself is faulty. But at least you know that the mechanism cannot be tampered with by software.
I think the webcam light is completely controlled by the hardware signal, so the only way to turn that light on/off is by turning on the webcam itself, which I don't think is desired either.
The dot absolutely makes Macs useless for live visuals. Nobody worth a damn would ever use a system that required an orange dot to appear on the live output.
My temporary fix has been to use an expensive hardware scaler to crop the output when I run into this. You’d think Apple would have plenty of production experts beta testing, I’m sure this will eventually affect their own live events.

Mic input is very useful for receiving timecode to keep production gear in sync.
I know many teachers, and none that would agree that what they're doing is filling a cup. None stand there lecturing students, and expect them to recite it back. They all work hard to come up with different exercises, presentations, etc. just to do what the author says is necessary: creating direct experience. It's a core precept of modern education theory that experiential learning is best. His discussion of schools is a strawman.

So we agree that Bitcoin is more like a stock than a currency. Nobody calls Apple stock "most democratic type of currency/money/property in the world". There's a reason why SEC heavily regulates issues of security which promise future upside - regulations that Bitcoin circumvented.

"Live presentation" like "the visuals on the video wall behind Mariah Carey while she sings live for 10 million people on TV", not "live presentation" like "your PowerPoint presentation to your 4 coworkers".

This is a news site for professional digital musicians and animators. The kind of people that are in charge of making the digital visuals behind a live performance like I described. This is not a "principle of the thing" argument, it's a "this update stops us from doing our job using Mac hardware" argument.

You can go 2 ways, neither of which are hard.

You can file your accounts (which are trivial for a micro entity) directly with Companies house, or, when you do your CT600 corporation tax return (which is the 6 or so numbers) there's a checkbox marked "also file to companies house".

You absolutely do not need an accountant.

You also get a great deal of time (extra on your first year) between year-end and when you have to submit, so there is no panic.
I felt the same way until I decided that I needed to understand what was happening with every dollar my wife and I took in, in order for us to make decisions like how much we should invest or keep in savings for emergencies. I ran into all sorts of issues reconciling different information and had to revisit my modeling several times.

Only after discussing with my brother, who went to business school, did I realize I was gradually discovering my own half-assed version of accounting. Then I started reading Wikipedia and Investopedia about accounting topics, and it seemed a lot less dry.

I have been exposed to many different tech stacks over the years. This https://github.com/gengstrand/clojure-news-feed repo contains the code used to evaluate thirteen different stacks which is what I can share publicly. What I can say is that the best choice of tech stack depends on what is being called for. Is this for an early stage startup or an intrepreneurial greenfield project? Is this for an MVP or just the next component in an already formalized microservice architecture? What are the skillsets of the developers that you will have access to? Have you reached agreement that you can throw it all away and start over or are you expected to have to live with the choice of tech stack for the life of the product? Are you mobile first? These are all important questions that very much shape the decision.

That's my gripe these days, long term used to be 20+ years. You can still get DL400 series PLC's from Automation Direct (rebranded Koyo) which are from the 90's. Now I see many embedded micros and processors advertised with 10 year long term supply. To me long term is around 20 or more years, basically someones career span. And dont get me started on all this industry 4.0 PC based control crap. Not everything needs millions of lines of Linux kernel to turn a few io points on or off. And the bloated systems that these platforms utilize is nauseating.
Welcome to CORS errors, so sorry you made the trip. :)

I have an unpopular answer. Back in the oughts, companies like Google and Facebook started running charter buses that stopped illegally at public bus stops to ferry their employees to the south bay. If those people had taken public transit instead we would have pumped billions of dollars into Caltrain, enough to fund vastly improved services.

There would definitely have been an adjustment period where more people would have driven and made traffic even worse. But that discomfort would have helped create the political will to improve public transit.
There aren't any well curated package managers for normal users.

Linux distributions like Debian barely make the cut for technical users, folks who are used to going to forums and finding alternative packages. Even so, Linux packaging is filled with drama, contradictory standards, alternate sources required for specialized applications, and occasionally downright bad decisions (like shipping insecure CAs). The only way to scale such a model to normal users is the way Apple and Google have done it on their mobile platforms, and frankly, those stores still have a fair amount of malware in them (Android especially - it's sandboxing that is actually useful here, not a package manager) and come with pretty massive anti-competitive downsides.

And some users liked the toolbars. Just like some users like Facebook. Toolbars aren't actually the problem - it's the way they slurp up your data - it's not a problem that needs a technical solution, more of a user education solution (just like Facebook).
There is no 'web3', it's just another bullshit marketing word.
