So, essentially, they require the company to pretend that they destroyed the "algorithm" (I think they actually mean machine learning model). If they don't, or they do but they had a copy, or they had used the knowledge to know which if several general purpose algorithms worked better at approximating it, there's essentially no way for an outside enforcement agency to know, and even with a whistleblower there's a real problem trying to enforce it. How do you prove, even if you have the database seized, which data the machine learning model came from?

It's the same problem with saying "destroy that data", which is also difficult to enforce (and probably isn't), except that it's an additional level of difficulty in enforcing.

I'm not saying they don't have a point, I'm just saying I don't see how they will be able to enforce this, even with whistleblowers.

Whistleblower: "that ML model came from illegal data"
Company: "No, it didn't."

Blue chip companies need to get better at spinning off internal units into startups.

Every blue chip that I've worked at had internal products that someone eventually founds a startup to copy. Sometimes, it's even an internal employee that leaves to start the new business.
Even if browsers did this, you can still execute this attack. As long as not all of your users know what the expected behavior is, you can trick them with a fake UI as long as it looks believable.

It’s so much nicer than Linux.

Whatever version of windows you make your software work on it just works on all future versions.

If you don’t like the old APIs don’t use them.

Being able to put software on a website and have people download and use it immediately is kind of amazing compared to Linux.

COM is very annoying tho. I’ll give you that.
The late changes to daylight saving time rules pretty much always mean that for several days to potentially over a month, users will be encountering systems with the incorrect time. Often times they will try to "correct it" by manually changing the system time but then time sync services might undo that, and if not, then once the time zone package finally makes it to the system, it "breaks" again, because the user should not have messed with the clocks in the first place.

The authors of the time zone database strongly encourage long notice periods for changes, as there are plenty of programs that use this data that have a month or more of delay between when an updated database is published, and when end devices will realistically get the update. And that is for people who don't habitually put off updates!

When DST rules were last change we had about a year and a half notice, which is realistically what this bill also provides.
I'm late to respond to your comment, but I qualified my statement with a reference to how we commonly refer to intelligence. Speculating about what's in the universe while ignoring what data we have is fooling, imo.

There are an estimated 8.7 million species on earth. The common interpretation of intelligence puts the ratio of intelligent-to-non-intelligent species we know of at about 1:8,700,000. Nothing I've seen in the literature on evolution suggests that evolution will lead to intelligence under than definition. Mammals led to humans, and only after the dinosaurs were wiped out by a mass extinction event.

So while I can't say for sure that intelligent life is more or less common at a universal scale, it makes far more sense to assume the rest of the universe and the mechanics of evolution are consistent with what we see on Earth. I don't think we'd be that unique in the cosmos, which seems to me to be an egotistical thing to think, anyway.

Have you checked the trackers and data loggers build into that app that directly or indirectly call home when you interact with your lights?

I have an aquarium and I use a water quality tester when I suspect something is wrong. Before it was a colour stripe you have to compare with a reference printed on a package. Now it uses a camera and matches the color better for a better analysis. However, that app calls home directly to JBL, so they are building a profile on how I abuse my fish because every time it logs, it logs a bad situation. It also leaks the usage to jquery, google and crashlytics without notifying me or asking my consent.
Career healthtech worker; opinions are my own; focusing only on the provider-specific questions you're asking:

Biggest problem (w.r.t. provider overwork and availability) is regulatory capture by AMA and hospital groups. The AMA has for decades induced an artificial shortage of MDs by limiting the number of available residency slots. In particular, there's an acute shortage of slots for primary care providers (gen practice, family med, internal medicine, OBGYN) - which combined with financial incentive, leads to an oversupply of specialists.

AMA is also very assertive about keeping alternative providers (e.g. nurse practitioners) from having the rights to perform certain procedures - again as a form of financial protectionism. I'm picking the worst possible example, because it goes wrong all the time, but in many LatAm countries for example, routine x-rays and ultrasounds are often read by technologists rather than radiologists. Broadly speaking, there's a chilling effect of provider liability, in that your PCP may not be a dermatologist, so instead of doing a mole screen themselves during your annual office visit, they send you for a specialist visit instead of doing it in house (to avoid the unlikely chance they miss something subtle the derm might've caught) - costing more money, fueling the oversupply of specialty care, and letting the "general" skills of GPs atrophy even further.

TLDR: The American Medical Association kills people.
How... does that play nicely with signing and notarization on Windows and Mac? Asking for a friend :-)
Obviously something wrong with the driver for that camera. The same camera produces very good video in the iPad Pro.

As for the rest of the Studio monitor, it is a huge relief to finally have a true 5K display from Apple. The only other maker, LG produced a half-hearted effort that suffered from ghosting, backlight bleed, wobbly stand, and loose ports. Those quality control issues are usually things that Apple gets right an has done so in the similar 27" iMac for several years. No one else makes an equivalent monitor. Yes, there are lots of cheaper 4K displays out there. Some smaller, some larger. 4K is never quite right for a Mac OS display larger than about 24 inches.

I see a lot of recommendations for wide-screen monitors instead. I've tried a few of those and they almost always have limited vertical resolution and the text rendering is soft enough that I have to enlarge the text to read it clearly. I do this on the Samsung widescreen that our office supplies.

I know that the trend is toward higher refresh screens, and I have a couple of screens with 120hz refresh. Both of those are much smaller screens. It might be nice to have higher refresh but I don't actually miss it. 60Hz works well and if the alternative is a higher price, then, no thank you.

Similar on the HDR for the screen. This IPS screen has a really great image and reasonable dynamic range for this kind of tech. It might be nice to have more, but everything suggests that mini-LED would be more expensive at this size and OLED is still subject to burn-in for the kind of static images on a computer screen. Maybe if I was trying to watch a lot of movies on this screen, I would value the HDR more, but I don't. my computer is a work device. Entertainment happens elsewhere.

The price is higher than the typical mass market 4K display. It is a little more than the only other comparable monitor, the LG. Yes, it would be nice if it were cheaper but it could have been more expensive and easier rumors had the price considerable higher. This is a price that I could afford. Of course not everyone can, though Apple customers do tend a little higher on the income level than a Windows user for personal purchases. If I were going to use this for work, I would definitely invest the money. For just personal uses, I'll probably stick with the existing monitor, but keep on eye on this and maybe look for a refurb unit in a year or two.

FYI the Ars Technica review of the Studio Monitor is a much better look at this product.

Right, those are router features, if you don’t use the Shaw router you won’t have those features via the Shaw router, but those are pretty basic basic features for modern routers. (I use Eero, which has the features you listed via its app.)

It is surprising how easily companies will fund this change in buying habits when the entire company's existence depends on it. The CEO needs to have a come-to-Jesus moment though.

We've spent several hundred thousand at "Win Source" broker in China, and haven't had a problem yet (knock on wood). We X-ray and test to verify though.

Mostly, Chinese brokers are a den of thieves/a pool of sharks. If they can counterfeit it, they do. Use a credit card to help with clawing your money back in case of fraud. And never ever buy IC's from Amazon or Ebay. Those are ALL fake.
Rich people can buy nice things but they can be scammed like anyone else.

The way it works is that some developer bought the plot, built a condo and sold it in advance to wealthy people. After pocketing the money they delivered something and that's the end of their obligations.
If the finish is crap, what can the rich people do? They likely don't have ground to sue and they were probably aware of whatever materials they were buying.

I've seen this happen with so many developers, I don't understand why people buy from developers at all.

Ok, they buy all the plots and normal people have a hard time buying plots, but I'd still pick an existing house I can inspect now compared to buying the idea of a finished product which doesn't exist.

I suspect the flow is something like:

1) Check real estate market

2) All the properties are crap

3) I don't want to deal with blue collars fixing my house!

4) This intriguing new developer with an ok track record is building something, we're going to have a new luxury home!
Wow - after 20 years of phishing variants, I've finally seen one that I'd 100% fall for.

"Modern" design is so opposed to any skeuomorphism that every item on the screen has been totally drained of color and detail. So many UIs are frustrating to use because everything is an abstract monochrome glyph. The extreme of fashion over function we're suffering right now is mind-boggling.

In the early 2000's we had books like Steve Krug's "Don't Make Me Think"; but now, for some reason, decades of design and engineering knowledge are being totally ignored, to society's great detriment.

The article describes several ways that various seemingly simple mathematical objects like integer are defined in set theory using complex combinations of sets and I believe the inelegance of such constructions is the main motivation.

The thing is, any constructive definition of (almost)all mathematical objects is likely to share this kind of inelegance imo. But I don't think anyone has come up with an alternative to this.

I think this should be stopped. I have a ton of water bottles, mugs, shirts, USB chargers, pens and other stuff I will never use and often just throw away. Not only do I not need the items but usually they are just cheap crap that breaks if you actually use it.

Just stop. It's wasteful and harmful for the environment. If they want to make me happy, give me some cash :-).

I think you’re right in a way, but the problem is multifaceted.

If true, the idea that 1-1 tutoring pushes an average student two standard deviations above the mean where nothing else does today is compelling evidence that this is an element missing from today’s apparent lack of genius. Imagine what pairing inherent talent with a talented tutor might do for results — it might be enough to produce the high-sigma results that we seem to be lacking. It would also be massively unfair, so I recoil from the idea a little thinking that some modern robber baron gets to also buy their way into contributing to the world’s greatnesses through their children and wash their hands of how they acquired their wealth (it’s better than naming a building!)

I think you’re right that we probably have a lot more geniuses today than before, in an absolute sense of talent, and that obscures their greatness. But I also think the author may be onto what we may have to do if we also want the outsized geniuses of the past that seem to make the normal geniuses pale in comparison.

My experience with the classroom is that a class size of 15 is barely better than a textbook. Simply not enough individual attention is there to go around. And yet we’d consider that a ‘small classroom’ at any top university, and you’d have to likely go to a graduate level class for that.

Considering that ~everyone was tracking device or installation IDs before Apple cracked down on it, on iOS, I think it's a safe bet that ~everyone is still doing it on desktop, and yeah, generating at install time is probably enough for most use cases and makes your build and distribution processes simpler.
One thing I like about the psychology of random is you can tell what numbers are true random vs what numbers are human generated if you know what to look for. For instance humans will avoid closeness (1 next to 2) and runs (1 next to 1 again). They will also usually avoid starting with the lowest and highest number in the range (asking for random numbers between 0 and 10 will almost never result in the first number being 0 or 10).

If they are aware of this and try to compensate they’ll start creating patterns that give them away.

There are like a zillion different phones available, so I am not sure what your argument is supposed to be.

There are also alternatives in search. However, search engines and smartphones are complicated enterprises, so it is not too surprising that their number is also temporarily limited (both have only been around for a very short amount of time).

> working hard to build quality products is more likely to be profitable than working hard to make money.

This seems like a short-term vs long-term thing. You are often going make more money in the short term by chasing the money (e.g. financialization); but if you aren't careful you will undermine the core value of your company.

It's pretty clear that people have made many companies more profitable by this sort of approach, at least for a while.
Apple earns EXTRA £5B by not providing chargers and earphones with iPhones
I suppose you're not concerned about the misery they inflict on their own citizens? While they don't do ethnic cleansing per se (not many ethnicities to cleanse in North Korea), they absolutely do wipe out entire bloodlines for crimes of a single member. And I won't even get into the rest of their human rights record.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, they also semi-regularly engage in armed conflict with South Korea, killing usually tens of people, and they occasionally kidnap foreign nationals. Admittedly small fare for a rogue state. They also have nukes but it must be fine since they haven't used them yet.
If I could afford this monitor I totally would buy it. I purchased one of The Verge's recommended monitors and returned it immediately for a replacement. The replacement had the same issue the first one did, albeit less severe (bad color uniformity in the bottom half of the screen). It also has a design flaw: like with most monitors, the matte coating is easily visible, in the form of what appears to be very fine sparkly dust on the screen.

Given that The Verge isn't high on the Apple Studio Display, quite frankly I'm more inclined to believe it's an excellent monitor.

All of these review sites are getting quite tiresome.
