What's "good"? I think it's at least OK to suggest that covid vaccines are generally good, and most people who are eligible should get them. But it's a social media shit-storm. I'm not interested.
Yep, I bought the 13 Mini and like it quite a bit. Seems like they fixed the biggest issue with the 12 Mini, which was the battery life.
Twitter is a massively multiplayer video game that is culturally overvalued and entrenched because journalism and other influential fields got sucked in. It is absolutely insane that it is taken so seriously. It's also super weird that everyone is so addicted to this game they play it out in public.

To illustrate this: imagine your ideal day. It could be on vacation, or hanging out at home, anywhere really. The key: imagine you are happy, or at least content. Now, do your imaginings ever have you reading angry tweets by people you hardly know for longer than you'd like?

I'd guess not.
I'm reading this on a 27" 5K imac from 2014. It's a nice screen. But it's eight years old now. So, what's new?
This is another example that we don't have a real democracy in the UE. It is an illusion of democracy at most.

One of the pillars of democracy, which is separation of powers, is being violated. Only the judicial branch should be able to silence a media, according to the laws created by the citizens trough their representatives in the legislative branch.

What are we seeing here is the executive branch absorbing all the powers, including silencing the media of their choosing.

We think we are better than Russia, but this is not the way.
I hate this trend in ‘ultra modern’ websites with the infinite scroll pulling you through some sort of animation. The website is near unusable as a result.

You're literally talking down to someone right now- that's not hurting other people?
The point I was making was the risk exists. Consider the scenario: Author says something interesting; I retweet; Author later says something awful which I don't even know about; My retweet is still present and can make me guilty by association.

This is very common on Twitter. It's not a place I can haphazardly navigate. I can't stay up to date on the latest outrage or who has fallen from glory.

We are mostly sourcing supplies from the US at this point.
Tampa is our pack/repack and pallet departure point. We have pallet space aboard flights from Florida through Germany to Poland and Romania, available every other day or so. We have trucks in Cluj, Romania but not in Poland. Romanian and Polish Governments have waived customs and we have a direct line for whatever other needs arise - they've been incredibly supportive - perhaps worried about Putin's further ambitions. Someone we know flies with the pallets from US departure and stays with them until they're handed off to someone else we know inside Ukraine who distributes to support and defense units in country. There is a lot of fraud involved in mass mobilization and cross-border transport so this level of accountability is important to us.

Very few people in Ukraine thought Putin would invade, and even if he invaded, almost nobody thought he would cross the Dnieper river (in the south) and make a run for Kiev. The Ukrainians we know, very "ordinary" people, have dug in. There is no concept in their minds of a negotiated peace that leaves Russia in control of Ukraine. They would rather fight it out. As a result it feels like it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. We are focused on combat medical supplies at this point but as time drags on there will no doubt be a great need for food, clothing, and similar items you mentioned.
Ah, so good opportunity for folks looking to save 300 dollars and still want to buy display from Apple.
That’s not possible. People take offense at everything. Or they will tomorrow.

That’s the real problem: the standards of “good” and “decent” shift from time to time. What is fine today may get you canceled tomorrow.

Thus, it is not safe to put your opinions out there in any form that could come back to bite you. If you want to take that risk, fine. But do not pretend that it is safe.
Have you had what you would consider an extreme event which didn't ripple beyond a need to maintain regular exercise? One time I was upset because my now wife decided to spend time with friends instead of with me on the last day before I drove off to grad school across the country. I rode my bike around a large lake (not something I would normally do). Is that somehow doing it wrong? It seems like the whole issue is "don't rock the boat or people will look at you sideways and make you an outcast". Works fine to be and express yourself in a safe place (accepting people/sound-proof walls), even if its peakish at times, just my experience.
In every war since WWII, the enemy is always painted in the image of Hitler. I am sure there's a lot of horror going on in Ukraine right now, as in every war (do you know of any war that's not pure destruction and horror?)... but to say it's close to the horrors Hitler committed is, in my opinion, grossly failing to see how the motivations, tactics and methods involved differ enormously.

Until I see gas chambers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians in mass, and innocent people being rounded up and burned inside buildings like the Nazi did, I would say we're still luckily very far from the same level of cruelty. And I pray to God we'll never see that kind of event again.

International organizations claim the number of dead civilians so far is around 400, which is in line with a full scale war where civilians are killed in the cross-fire, as horrific as that sounds.

For comparison, the USA invasion of Iraq caused around 5,000 civilian deaths in the initial few months [1], so it was actually likely much worse than Ukraine! Would you compare that with Hitler as well?

Pain au chocolat (dx2-66)
I use a non-looping white/brown noise machine to help me sleep at night and it works wonders in the city.

One thing I've wondered is the health effects of listening to that noise at ~ 40db all night over all these years. OSHA says that anything under ~ 80db is safe for 8h, but I do wonder if there are any longer term impacts to hearing or audio processing for softer sounds played over a lifetime. I could easily see the brain adapting and 'ignoring' noise in that spectrum. For now, I simply consider the extra sleep I get to be worth the price.
So? I still want to see, for myself, what the Russian Propaganda Machine is doing. Why should I be blinded by the prejudices of autocrats?

Besides which .. RT is available in Russian all over Europe, so unless you have further evidence that RT-Europe != RT-Russia, this is irrelevant.
Got attacked by dozens of people and eventually a twitter account ban for suggesting that free-speech is important and Chappelle's latest special shouldn't be removed from Netflix.
As ch4s3 and otherme123 state in sibling/niece comments, it's not bad. There is a reality here that countries on Russia's border face, that can be hard to understand if you live elsewhere. All victory against/agreement with Russia is temporary. Neighbor countries need to negotiate a space that allows Russia to save face and also gives the neighbor country room to maneuver and live relatively freely. Parts of western Europe and the US preach an uninhibited national freedom, that every country should be free to do what they want without their neighbor nations interfering. This is not reality, and I speak as a citizen of a country neighboring Russia. It's like thinking on a family level that your parents should fully respect and accept you no matter how far you stray from their traditions -- sure, it's a nice modern idea, but it's not how it works unless you have an amazing relationship where you can talk through your position with respect. Russia is just not there yet. No little country next to Russia is going to talk through their national ideals and national hopes & dreams with Putin and receive his blessing, encouragement, support, unconditional acceptance. Nah, it's more negotiating an abusive relationship where you can't get out. It's nice that the whole world tells you "leave, it doesn't have to be that way, you can do better!" but geography is geography. There is no leaving.

> the society in the United States suffers from a "disease" of alienating people from each other and isolating them

Is that unique to the US? It feels like something broadly true if I believe what I see in the news and online forums, but in my personal life it does not feel true at all.
Swashbuckling $3B company is trying to fix the supply-chain crisis
> EVs require orders of magnitude less service than ICE vehicles

I think not. I have a Hyundai Ioniq, and I still have to change tires 2x a year, fill up wiper fluid, change the pollen filter, get AC/heatpump fluids checked. I had to get an axle boot repaired for 200€ - these things happen to any car. EVs (even Teslas) also have a conventional car battery for backup power - this will die every 4-5 years. People might key your car, or bump into you. If you own a „Monday“ Tesla, chances are you‘ll spend more time at a garage in the first few years than a gasoline Kia or Toyota.

Will you spend less on maintenance? Very likely. An order of magnitude less? Highly unlikely!
Yeah, as long as you don't get a lot of calls it's great.

What I'm having trouble figuring out is if in other companies (like yours) when you are "on-call" for a week, do you work or don't work regular 9-5 M-F? Or are you "on-call" for the entire week, with no other responsabilities, maybe similar to a doctor?

I'm assuming some companies do and some companies don't, but not sure...
nonsense. you've got cause and effect the other way round.

this is akin to expecting programming tutorials to warn about autism.
Benq's is pretty good but whoever stuck those checkbox-filling speakers into the design is making a cruel joke at everyone else's expense. I get better sound out of my phone. Way, way better sound.
Natural gas power plants are relatively modular, and we can chain together units to make a bigger power plant. There is no such equivalent modular unit for petroleum processing. Each plant is highly customised to deal with a specific mix of different kinds of input oil, and to deliver a specific mix of output petroleom products. They can be reconfigured within a narrow range, but they're not highly flexible.
This is... such a weird take to me.

Imagine you are a developer who are going to talk about a product you worked on, and you are aware that millions of people[1] are going to watch you present. You're telling me you wouldn't want to do everything in your power to be well-rehearsed? You wouldn't try to do things like learn how to stand still or not stutter?

Like, that is just... I absolutely cannot comprehend that you would prefer to appear unrehearsed to people. Rehearsing is not weird, it is not unusual, and it is not unreasonable. There are soooo many valid complaints to make about Apple and Apple culture, and I just don't think "they over-rehearse their presentations!!1!" even remotely makes the list.

It is. Despite their investment in desktop hardware (finally!) they completely forgot how to do desktop software. Ten years ago all those animations where buttery smooth even if they were a weird custom "video" code that assembled them out of separate PNGs.
That sounds amazing, can you share any more details - of your WYSIWYG editor and how you use QuickJS?

You can't physically hurt people on twitter, as it's all information. So whether or not you hurt someone is (at least partly) dependent on how people react. That can be hard to predict.

Agreed, they should have gone for cube proportions. I'm sure someone will come out with a NAS that has the right height to bring it back into harmony.
Same. That chunky PC serves only one purpose now and rest of the time is unused.
I would like to highlight just how much Apple is focusing on their customers and use cases right now. It seems that they're targeting products to what their professional customers actually want. And in this case, it's a 3.7" little thing that can process 18 streams of 8k video (fully specced out). That's kinda crazy, and they're doing it at a price point that's competitive compared to all of the companies out there.

Bravo Apple. I'd love to see what they have in store for designers and programmers next.
Without hesitation I dare say there is prior art in this question. I’m thinking of the Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park.

I'm confused by your post. macOS definitely supports fractional scaling since 2012.
Yeah there was no mention of local dimming or refresh rate so it seems more like a refresh of that display with the new Apple design. Though for refresh rate I kind of understand since I don't think there are any 5k 120hz displays on the market. I also noticed that it only has a single thunderbolt port, so I'm not sure if you can daisy chain the displays. Even just adding local dimming would have been a huge difference maker but it likely would cannibalize the Pro Display XDR sales.
Why is it taking so long for the sports organizations to directly sell sports from their own websites and apps?

Is selling ads that complicated? Surely major sports leagues have had plenty of years to hire and build up staff. I even thought MLB pioneered some of the live video stream technology being used today. Why would they want to involved another party between them and their audience?
Yup, i feel like nobody cares about monitor tech, i waited for 4k/120hz IPS for a long time
I agree that he is not Saddam Hussain and we should not try to hunt him. But as of right now his back is not against the wall at all.
Confiscating money from an account and refusing to serve a customer are two completely different things, I don’t think conflating them is helping your case at all.
A corporation is a legal simulacrum of a person. Personally I think the best you can hope for is a simulacrum of morality. I really do view them as automata, without an "internal personhood," and I think that influencing their behavior with external influences is a desirable and achievable goal.

Government sanctions are applied by a democratically-elected government, which has a variety of checks and balances in it. I agree that social pressure can go off the rails. In this particular case my gut is that social pressure is encouraging them to go along with the sanctions quickly and enthusiastically.
I used to think this way. Saw too many legitimately-good people get brigaded to believe it anymore.

There's enough pile-on mobs on Twitter now with enough disagreement on what's acceptable that you can trip over any of them.

Fun Fact! When you want to control your population, you have to cover a wide range of opinions, meaning that you need to own several news outlets not necessarily agreeing with each other.

Edit: Same goes for parties. When you want to cover a lot of people, you must have several parties under your belt, making sure that no matter which party wins, it's you who always wins.

Just like how megacorporations have several daughter corporations releasing "competing" brands. In reality it's the same corp, but there's an illusion of choice.

That's a propaganda machine!

There is no critically thinking mass. You are not a critical thinker. You believe you are a critical thinker, but there is a massive amount of people who call themselves intellectuals and academics, which are constantly being played simply because narcissists are easily fooled!

All it takes is making them feel like they're rooting for the smarter side. They're all happily appealing to authority, because "obviously this person knows what he's talking about." No critical thinking, no actual fact checking. Just mindless, idiotic parroting ... and you can't have a serious discussion with these people whatsoever. Makes them, at least, really easy to spot.

The "western narrative" including discussions and evaluation is nothing more than a part of the propaganda machine. People talk about what mass media presenta them. There is no critical, or even original, thought. None. People talk about what they see/hear/read. That includes all the wannabe intellectuals.

Don't believe it?

Spend a month reading all the major daily newspapers and, after that month, start finding people to talk about it. Not close friends. Go outside of your biased social circle.

When you're smart enough, you will be able to tell who reads what simply based on the perspective they parrot. It's not even hard spotting the people who are easily misled, but first you have to let go of the idea that...

a) ... you're on the good side. You're not. Everyone believes that. It's dumb and part of the propaganda machine.

b) ... you know better. You don't. Your sources are worth just as much as the sources of the other side.

c) ... you're ever unbiased as long as you consume any of the mass media. You're not. Your feelings are being played, causing you to come to desired conclusions. Not objective conclusions, desired conclusions.

All mass media are equal. It's a science!

The only difference is how they sell themselves.
It logged you out while in "airplane mode"? How did it decide to do that?

The article fails to mention that shortly after this made the rounds in the marketing communities, eBay suddenly got a very large SEO penalty. Conspiracy theories aside, I once inherited a large Adwords account with nearly 25% of spend dedicated to branded KW bidding. Simply dialing back bids by 90%+ dropped impression share from 95% to 80%, but the paid branded clicks just shifted to organic branded clicks-- confirmed by lining up Google Webmaster Tools click level data (since Google stopped providing organic keyword data in GA 10 years ago).

Brand keyword bidding is simply a rent-seeking behavior. Sure, it can help with new entrants trying to grow their visibility (albeit likely ineffectively) as an alternative to an incumbent with more brand recognition, but the majority of brands are simply paying protection money to keep their own site, that users are explicitly seeking, above the fold on search results.
That is a bit like saying only the executor of the gang has attacked you, but they did a vote before and nobody dared stoping Clinton, and NATO shares funds don't they?

So there wasn't an outcry, let alone sanctions or consequences.

Everybody knows it was Clinton and advisors, the bombing was still a NATO bombing. You can't have it both ways, make the us hide behind the NATO skirt and say not everyone has participated.

It goes to show the institution is biased and has no teeth other than the American ones.
I specifically listen to podcasts at times when I can't watch things. I don't think there are any I'd find interesting enough to watch as a video production.

Some videos are comprehensible via just the audio, and I listen to one or two, but I think that to really attract whatever it is YouTube wants they'll have to be more specific to the video medium.
Plus they are not on sale anymore, at least when I was looking.

I am guessing this replaces it.

Not really other alternatives out there (displays in 5k).
I think the Mac Pro is almost like a phantom product at this point. Or a riff. Like they're going to say "the new Mac Pro is there is no more Mac Pro".

What can they really do, in a single machine, that is more "Pro" than the Studio? How are they going to bring developers along when most aren't developing for twenty-core machines?

I still think something else is coming. Maybe something unconventionally stackable. Something for render farms.

Whatever it is, it feels like it's going to need novel OS support.
Given the crackdown on Russian 'independent' (meaning: western) media came after the RT ban, it is reasonable to expect it happened in retaliation to the RT ban.

You say "free and open media" and refer to RT, which is state sponsored media from RT. Media from a country that kills journalist and bans independent media. You're so angry at the EU for banning state sponsored media. Where is your anger at Russia for killing journalists and banning independent media?
If I was developing a new browser today, my graphics abstraction would be WebGPU and all other graphics would be built on it. WebGL, Canvas 2D, SVG, and even DOM rendering would be unprivileged libraries on top and only WebGPU would be able to touch the actual hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if some browsers moved that way in the long term.
Yep, Face ID is miserable. I can feel myself inwardly flinching every time I know I’m going to have to interact with it. All the swiping, the double tap for Apple Pay, just about everything is slower and less reliable, for no gain at all.

That said, my wife gets quite dry hands and has never been able to use the fingerprint sensor reliably so this is a golden age for her. Would be nice to have the option of both going forward.
The lurkers have been the majority in every kind of online forum, from usenet to slashdot to HN comment threads to reddit to twitter.

I post publicly on forums with my real name and don’t endorse everything I have said.

Just evict such absolutist moral nonsense people from your life and don’t allow them to control you. When you see them do it to others, block them.

It’s exactly the same thing as when it was a certain sort of church people controlling much of society with fear of “canceling” which was just done by different people with different means in the past, fundamentally nothing changed when people left religion because they thought religion was the source of this kind of toxicity.
