As thermal budgets get pushed with more power in smaller packages, replacing the OEM thermal paste/pad is almost becoming a standard operation. Recent AMD/Nvidia GPUs have experienced thermal throttling issues due to poor or outright missing application of the thermal interface material on RAM and GPU components.

At some point after warranty expiration, as a "hail mary", I replaced the OEM thermal paste in my Precision laptop and saw peak temperatures plummet around 20C, where it was previously bouncing off the CPU thermal throttle limits with the fans on max.
Cute output! Very nice.

> consumers have accepted an Apple/Google duopoly over mobile computing

Consumers don't have any choice. Apps are typically only available for iOS/Android. The difference with Xbox/PlayStation is that those aren't general purpose platform. Nobody needs an Xbox to access their bank or government functions. But people do (realistically) need to use smartphones. Regulation is absolutely appropriate here.

My question to you would be: why not regulate? What concrete harm do you think it would cause?
That's a debatable point but the result either way doesn't change the point of my comment. They were dismissing the parent comment because they didn't understand the true nature of what they were talking about.
> What's important is to look at whether the constraints have changed at all.

Right. Discuss it. That's my whole point. Maybe they haven't changed. Maybe you are correct and you are completely correct to aggressively fight the idea. That's fine. But if you don't engage people on the team you're not a useful team member.

Saying I saw this in the 70s and it didn't work is the least impressive argument possible, and frankly is just begging for ageist biases. It looks like you haven't considered that things might have changed. If I tried last week, I would still emphasize the reasons why it didn't work rather than when it didn't work.
The key statement there is "if" - you have to try to contact the merchant first before you issue the chargeback. And even a successful chargeback doesn't prevent the merchant from reporting the missed payments on your credit record or sending it to collections.

In contrast, with Apple Pay it's a quick subscription cancellation via one simple interface.
PlantUML[0], which is built on top of Graphviz, does have support for UML and other services such as Gitlab do support direct embedding of PlantUML (which also means you can embed Graphviz, since PlantUML is an extension of Graphviz).

The problem is that we've gotten used to devices which turn us almost exclusively into consumers instead of using computing devices more as Douglas Engelbart envisioned them: human intellect force-multipliers.

Part of the problem with phones is intentional (massive centralization), but some can't be helped (input capabilities are very limited on a phone).

We should probably be part of the solution.
May I highlight this is your _very_ first comment on this website. Why did you suddenly decide to make an account and post your first comment here? Do you work in technology?
There are private doctors in Canada and the UK and they don’t make as much as their American counterparts.

Anecdotal evidence. My wife has $400,000 in med school debt. She needs a $300,000 salary to afford paying that debt off whilst also maintaining a “good” lifestyle. Med school, residency, etc. were hard and sacrifices were made to go through them. It would not be worth it to go through that without a reasonably high salary.

She’d gladly have gone through the process for a $200,000 a year job. It is certainly the case that highly motivated, highly intelligent people take into account the ability to service med school debt when deciding to become a doctor vs. another going into another field. It is obvious that high med school debt has an effect on the salary needed to attract talent.

David Carr won the Nobel Prize in part for his work questioning the traditional supply/demand view of labor economics. Here is a link to an interesting (to me) paper.

https://www.jstor.org/stable/24695058
Brimble said "If you have advertisers (or just standards) you'll also need to check it for horrible stuff that's not illegal. And by "you'll", in the case of a place like Facebook, I mean "some other people'll".

But you could... not do that."

Hacker news and Facebook:

1. Have advertisers (and just standards)

2. Check it for horrible stuff that's "not illegal"

3. Using "some other people'll" that are paid with money.

Now, here's the thing. Facebook and Hacker news are not equivalent in quality or quantity when it comes to how much illegal or horrible content is uploaded to them. But they both have advertisers, a risk of bad content, and use at least one paid moderator to prevent bad content from existing. Brimble is saying that Facebook and other hypothetical services could "not do that", which either means that:

1. The website / service will not exist or

2. Paid moderation on that service will not exist or

3. Moderation on that service will not exist or

4. User created content on that service will not exist.

That would affect Facebook and hacker news. No, I do not believe that hacker news is exposed to as much illegal and horrible content as Facebook. However, it is exposed to some, and it seems like the remedy in both cases is for the website to not exist. I'm pretty sure that if someone asked dang whether they had ever, in their years of moderating this site, seen something that disturbed them, he'd answer yes. I'm certain of it.

"Very easy" to me would be that Apple provides support for an Android variant that runs on iPhones.
Reaction icons on Slack/Discord posts are actually useful. Adding a "+1", "agreed" or "done" react on a message is far less intrusive than a reply message to that effect, especially if you don't have threading (like IRC). You could even use them as an additional input/output signalling channel for automation or bots, if you were so inclined.

That aside, communication tools facilitate human to human communication first and foremost. In natural person to person communication, there are many additional information channels than just the content of your speech. There is your tone of voice, body language (however overrated that might seem), gesturing, scribbling a quick diagram on a napkin, laughter, winking, and whatever else. A good communication medium will strive to let you communicate as many of these things as possible, by analogy if needed. A reaction GIF can communicate a great deal about the non-tangibles of the other person's state of mind, and help you both understand their intent better, and know them better as a person.

If you want to keep your communication serious, establish channel rules that forbid certain types of expression to change the tone of discussion, or use a client that doesn't implement such features/lets you disable them. Don't limit it at the technology or protocol level.
If they want such apps they can buy an Android. Or move to the Netherlands.

> From the livestreams it seems clear that this is an authentic and peaceful working class protest, not some sort of far right "insurrection" (a word that has also been chosen for political reasons). The most fascinating aspect of this event is what it reveals about the class divide in Canada, or the West in general, since each country has its own version of this right now.

This is actually quite disingenuous. All it tells you is the general comportment of what people are doing around those livestreaming (who are almost all clearly marked).

What you aren't seeing or being exposed to in this way are the countless complaints of harassment, death threats, and rape threats the people living in this area are facing on a routine basis, even when the person being threatened was trying to help the protestors.[1][2][3][4]

As I've mentioned in other places, there's a lot of protests in Ottawa. It's the nation's capital and it's often a symbolic target if nothing else. Ottawa's citizens are familiar with protestors. This is a whole different ballgame.

In terms of it being working class, I think that's also a disingenuous label. As you can see in this walk through of the stopped convoy, there's VERY FEW actual big rigs participating, and the people here are largely driving recent pickups.[5] These are not put-out truckers, these are anti-vax/anti-mandate people from across the spectrum, and not a lot of them.

On the contrary, these are, in my opinion, excellent examples, although not a comprehensive list, of where Fortran shines compared to other languages that do not have such advantages or new languages that desperately try to copy, mimic, and rebrand the decades-long existing features of Fortran under their names.
People make the game console comparison, but there are crucial differences that don't make these scenarios comparable - first, there is still a completely open, viable platform to write games for (PC), and much more importantly, I do not run my entire life through my game console, and a game console is not effectively a requirement for modern life like a phone is.

Phones are ubiquitous, and the vast majority of businesses have a Compelling Reason to have a presence on these devices. Allowing two companies to make any decision they want regarding what nearly every non-trivial business Can and Can Not Do, is the very definition of anti-competitiveness.

When you are a monopoly and you can influence other businesses in such an overarching way, it is Extremely Appropriate that you have to follow a Different Set of Rules than other people, rules that are more closely regulated to ensure that you are not abusing your position
The last two laptops I bought were XPS 15s and they worked totally fine for the years I used them 2011/2015?. I'm planning a refresh this year for a new one. I have a 2019 MBP sent to me for work and it crashes at least 3 time a week. Like it or not, there is no objective value to how well or long lasting these products last, and the best we can do is require manufacturers to report defects/returns so that the public are informed, so.. probably never happen unless the EU mandates it.
I gave quick answers to your numbered questions in a separate comment. Regarding your "question to the broader HN community" about getting salary info, maybe the best way is to ask companies to provide it themselves, and offer evidence that this will lead to a higher number of quality applications (assuming it does).

Crowd-sourced salary info is really useful for the industry as a whole, but not for specific companies. It's common for salaries to vary by up to 2X for people at the same grade level.

Yeah not to mention no mens rea is needed for statutory rape. That is a 17 y/o could show you a passport and DL with her age as 18, and tell you and look like she is 18, yet you would still be convicted. Hardly any other crime has this kind of strict liability where honest and thorough due diligence doesn't absolve you of the crime.
"Reader" apps, broadly construed, can already offer outside subscriptions. Apparently, Spotify does not pay a 30% fee to Apple, but only 15%, and that on less than 1% of its paid members, so only around 0.15%. That does not seem to constitute unfair competitive advantage.

The science is not saying anything like that. I am the one saying things will be worse because the models have consistently underestimated second order greenhouse effects like ocean acidification and the collapse of the transatlantic currents and general slowdown of other ocean currents along with their effects on global weather patterns.
Firefox makes poor decisions. I've been trying to use firefox for years and just gave up this past weekend. As far as I know, there's no way to customize your firefox home view on android so that you have a permanent, customizable set of links, and nothing else. You can have "recent bookmarks" which disappear eventually, presumably once they're no longer "recent".

Can you imagine being the one to approve such a bone-headed design? I gave up and downloaded opera instead and it's been perfect. I have my desired links up when I open a new tab, nothing else, and life is good.

For me personally the difference is that with social networking I'm reacting to something someone else posted or vice versa, which makes it organic. Being cold contacted on the other hand generally results in exchanges that feel stilted and weird to me.
"Pedestrian deaths should really be automatic negligent homicide charges unless it can be proven that the pedestrian just ran out in the road and got hit or something through their own negligence."

This I why I'd like to see the stats/breakdown. There are more laws that apply to pedestrians than many realize. Like walking on the left side of the road, jay walking, not obeying traffic signals. This could be seen as negligence or recklessness.

There are a ton of irresponsible or unknowledgeable drivers, and those same people are also likely to be pedestrians at some point and exhibit similar actions.
Legislate them into allowing sideloading until the day their market share drops below a quarter. Hell, I would be fine with letting Apple automatically wipe phones with sideloaded apps and revoking the user's warranty post legislation the moment their market share goes below the threshold. They can abuse their customers as much as they want, they just shouldn't be allowed to make the rest of the market unhealthy.

Firefox is losing marketshare because Chrome is the default browser on Android devices and Android devices are the number one device in the world. Most people don't even know how to change their default browser.

I don't think Firefox needs saving. Those who use it are active and committed to it.
The people I want to communicate with don't have Signal or any other messaging app. They have iMessage, which only allows you to communicate effectively with other apple devices.

Sort of true, but also credit card numbers are useless without the PII metadata. If you're storing credit card info like this then you pretty much have to store the sensitive stuff that can be used to dox people alongside it. The metadata isn't a requirement in the Bitcoin case. In fact, the way that bitcoin works, you wouldn't even end up with a centralized list like this of all the donors to get leaked in the first place. Some interested journalist or activist would have to go and manually compile it by looking at all the transactions themselves.
In Europe, big tech pays very little taxes, provides very few jobs and exfiltrates mountains of personal data to foreign intelligence services.

It's politically very easy to bring out the big guns here for European politicians.

At least the US government can be brought to the negotiation table if it turns out to be a problem.
I complain about that because Apple has (deliberately, I suspect) crippled Safari PWA features, making it impossible to deliver a good experience through the channel. Now, they have recently made some small changes and I really, really hope that is a sign of them changing this strategy but I want to see it before I believe it.
If I read https://kinsta.com/browser-market-share/ correctly, the global market share of browsers is 77% Google Chrome.

Safari only makes up 8.87% of the global share (and Firefox is 7.69%).

From a mobile perspective and limited to the US - https://www.statista.com/statistics/272664/market-share-held...

Safari makes up only 54.87% of the mobile browser market and chrome makes up another 38.95%.

Another set of graphs - https://backlinko.com/browser-market-share

Even if every safari user switched (desktop and mobile), it still wouldn't do much more than double the marketshare and yet remain a small fraction of what Chrome has.

I find it difficult to say that iPhone safari is the reason that Firefox is having trouble when overall, iPhone safari has less of an overall market share than Firefox currently has.
That's about what I expected — nothing warranting “very popular”, and most of the gap shown is going to come down to what percentage of even people who do want some or all public health measures suspended approve of doing so outside of the democratic process.

I just read the MoU (https://web.archive.org/web/20220122173201/https://canada-un...). It is a ridiculous document, suggesting that CU and the central government will form a joint committee to set Covid policy together. But nowhere in the document do I see anything about calling an election, dissolving the government, or being beyond any constitutional powers. The Wikipedia quote upthread does not seem like an accurate summary of the MoU.
It appears that submitted data is not available on some open license, right?
>Presumably, those households without internet connection don't really have the option of a laptop or desktop then, no?

While this probably leans to yes more often than not, however, it is 100% totally possible to own/use a laptop/desktop without using the internet. See all of computer history before the internet as an example. You can totally animate, "paint", create music without being online. Again, see all of art history pre-internet.
That does not seem easier to think about, which address was this process on, you now have 1 interface with possibly 100s of addresses, need to keep track which address is for what application..

Seems more logical to just do the IP+port tuple. Maybe having TCP and UDP on separate port "namespaces" is the confusing part here and someone above mentioned could be simplified.

You can? In the Netherlands? Which is what this is about?

That makes sense if they are the same problem. In this case I think we've just linguistically bundled them together as "homeless" but they are actually completely distinct problems and groups.
This is my personal opinion only, so take it with a grain of salt.

Mozilla can't save Firefox. It's not that Firefox can't be saved, but rather that Mozilla as an organization is not capable of doing so.

My take is this - Despite a history of being relatively privacy friendly, the vast majority of funding for the organization comes directly from Google (To the tune of ~90% of their total funding, straight from Google so that Google can maintain its position as the default search in Firefox).

That leads to insurmountable conflicts of interest - They claim they are for people and for privacy, but they are funded almost entirely by Google, and have to secure search deals for their continued existence (the latest just this year: https://www.pcmag.com/news/mozilla-signs-lucrative-3-year-go...).

In this light - I believe it actually BENEFITS mozilla to keep Firefox relevant, but not good enough to replace Chrome. If the browser genuinely becomes good enough that customers start switching from Chrome to Firefox en mass, Mozilla needs a replacement funding plan because Google can essentially turn the lights off at any point by simply refusing to pay them for search at next contract renewal.

While they've dipped their toes into paid products... most of them are not particularly relevant or compelling on their own merits (that's not to say they're bad, just not all that innovative or likely to drive enough revenue to replace the 500million a year google is paying them)

So not only do I not believe that Mozilla is capable of "saving" Firefox in this way, I don't believe they have the right incentives to even seriously try.
Seems like it:
