This is pretty shameful. It is clearly a cynical move to save face in the right-to-repair debate. If Apple was committed to the environment and repair there would be a "Repair" or "Support & Repair" link in the top header of apple.com that gets you to a store with every major component for recent Apple products. When a product becomes "vintage" they should release all schematics and CAD designs so 3rd party part makers can sell aftermarket replacement parts.

In a year or two Apple will end this minimally visible and confusing website saying not enough people used it (some BS like "less than 0.001% of all iPhone users ever placed an order") and so it is not worth the time and effort. "See? No one cares about repairing their devices. People don't want to own and care for their things anymore!"
Tesla shares slide could put Musk's Twitter takeover at risk
Apple takes a >50% margin on everything else they sell, why should parts be any different?
Boomers refusing to retire is why Millenials can't earn money.

at some point, somehow, medical care stopped revolving about 'healing' and medicine became all about 'treating'.

the health of the patient became subordinate to the economic incentives of the hospitals and the other involved institutions (insurance providers, pharmaceutical corporations, etc...)

and so I have the hypothesis that this happened because people (young adults) going into medicine because of a vocation to help and heal others become disheartened when they find out it's all about institutional profit; only them who get into this becuase "doctors make good money" really make it to the end (which is not terrible, as they usually do learn the methods and techniques of medicine, but that in the long run prioritize money over health).

health care should have never been allowed to become a capitalist marketplace.
Let's assume that all iPhones that are "repaired" by an Apple Store are actually replaced by the Apple Store. This matches my experience - go in with broken phone, walk out with brand new identical phone.

Then assume all the old phones are shipped to India/Vietnam/Sri Lanka/China where apple pays the smallest achievable wages for laborers to either:

1) swap out the broken displays, mainboards, etc. to produce a working "Refurbished" unit. Who does Apple sell these to? I don't see refurbished phones for sale on their website. Maybe to T-Mobile/etc who do sell some refurbished iPhones.

or

2) Disassemble the unit, throwing out everything except 100% known-good components, which get used for...what? Maybe new iPhones? Would apple ever include refurbished components...probably not. What do they do with all these known good but used components?

Either way, you can imagine that Apple might only be paying $10 or so to ship all these phones in a giant container to Asia and $20 or so for the labor of repair/disassembly. So maybe the "Self Service Part" really is being offered at the same materials price, minus Apple's straight internal labor cost.

I somewhat doubt this, but it's at least plausible.

> If there was a law that said "white people get 10% off of every purchase."

If a state had such a law would be pretty clearly unconstitutional ab initio.

Assuming the law not only existed on the books but was enforced by the state prior to the repeal, yes, they would obviously be being harmed for an unconstitutional purpose in violation of their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

(If any remedy was available, it wouldn't involve preserving the policy, because that policy is a violation of other people's Constitutional rights, but since we haven't been discussing remedies in the Florida case and no one has argued that the special district exceeds Florida’s Constitutional power, that aspect of the hypothetical is not relevant to the discussion.)
Yes, this is probably the bigger impact, to be honest. Teams have limited resources and more and more of it is cannibalized by regulatory compliance work.

A good friend of mine was a nurse practitioner in cancer care here for 17 years, and quit last year to do contract work in interesting places. She's unmarried, no kids, etc., so I think it's a little bit of a "shake things up" thing but also a little bit "make hay while the sun shines."

The problem of selinux getting in the way of being able to boot/login has been going on for years. Tossing selinux=0 on the grub/kernel command line anytime the machine fails to boot is common for most people running rawhide. Which itself is a problem because relabeling can take a _long_ time if the system in question has a large filesystem.

Selinux has stopped a number of active exploits, but OTOH, its probably stopped 100x as many perfectly functional systems from working.

So more selective enforcement is probably the right path, and one that systemd seems to be going down as it attempts to secure services it manages, but right now welding the door shut to stop the bad guys seems like the solution we are stuck with.

for America fans, American exceptionalism relies on comparing America to the worst managed countries in the world. So you walked right into that. Stick with the comparison to Western and Central Europe because we need to normalize comparing America with developed nations.

The US uniquely has the resources to implement 21st century advances, and just doesn't. This changes when acknowledging what other developed nations have and ignoring the developing ones, let China focus on them thats working out pretty well for them.
This is of intense interest to me - I had no idea you could do this with an existing jpeg. 20% would be a world-changing difference for an application I am working on right now, assuming the added encoding/decoding stages do not add substantial latency to the process.

> Wouldn't this just be spending the stimulus money?

Most likely it is being spent. Slowly. Like you said, some of it has been spent already. It is unlikely that stopped. It just hasn't been blown all at once.

> What I'm saying is that most of it hasn't been spent

Me too, more or less. If it were already spent then bank accounts would be tight and people wouldn't be able to spend more. However, if they're only dipping in a dollar or two at a time, they can both spend more and leave their bank accounts almost untouched. At least for a while. Give it enough years and it may eventually erode to nothing, but in the short term you don't have to spend much of it to pay more at the store. Inflation is a little higher than usual, but not that high in the grand scheme of things.
> Hear hear! Building bona-fide compilers that have interesting concepts, or just for fun, is a worthwhile thing to do. But these one-off languages are becoming ridiculous.

I don't understand this mentality. Some programmers enjoy writing programs and some enjoy learning about programming languages. No one is telling all programmers they they need to learn about every programming language, but why paint the whole endeavor as frivolous?
I suppose we could also frame the question as which tech companies and industries will NOT do well during the recession.

I think that streaming services will not do well. People will return to torrenting and piracy. Same with crypto trading platforms. Basically any place where Joe Average can't afford to spend more than he has on hand. Tesla will see a big drop too, as people will cash out to buy their groceries.

As for what will: free for the end user services that get by on ad revenue and data mining. Alphabet, Facebook, stuff like that.
Great points!

To add, also take into account that there were almost no state school CS programs until not that long ago. Many of the graybeards I learned from along the way had English and Music degrees, they autodidact-ed the rest through trial/error and collaboration with peers (and official systems manuals).

These are the cats that ran anything from VAXen to high-end CAD workstations and whatnot, wrote internal mission-critical applications with no formal CS background. Just passion.

Take also, the generation of COBOL jockeys whipping up reports and maintaining ancient stuff (also mission-critical) who learned on the job and were never taught algorithms and beyond.

Even at the AMZN gig mentioned by OP, whatever he was working on was a cost-center. If a team at that level can create its own stack, guidelines and the like, mistakes will be made.

Fixing that requires investment, and I can't imagine that any resources were invested in that app, because cost-center.
It looks like malicious compliance.
It sounds nurses just need to be paid more, or travel nurses need to be paid less. Equilibrium is probably somewhere between the two extremes.

Hmm.. how about instacart?
I don't think it matters if the BIV is a physical brain or a simulated brain or a spirit or soul. I also believe that an accurate simulation is indistinguishable from reality, and this is actually the crux of my argument that a BIV wouldn't work. Simple wires hooking a BIV to a simulation are not sufficient to trick it into believing it is in reality.

For the BIV to not know that it's connected to a simulation, the simulation must be physically accurate. To be physically accurate, the actual brain in the vat must be simulated as if it were embodied in the simulation so that the proper and accurate feedback can be presented to it through the interface that attaches it to the simulation. Completely ignoring the physical embodiment of brains leads to dualism. Laggy, incomplete, and inaccurate simulation will cause the brain to feel disconnected from what it thought was reality.

Contrast BIV with "a magic spell could make a person believe they are in the real world, but actually they are not." and see if there is any more or less explanatory power in the phrasing. Connecting a brain (how) to a simulation (of the world plus which parts of the brain?) so that it believes (how, why) that it is in the real world requires explaining the how and why and what without magic.

Contrast BIV with dreaming where it is often pretty easy to tell that we're in a dream, or when we can't tell consciously that we are in a dream it still feels different when we remember it later. Dreams that are very hard to tell from reality are very accurate is my claim.

Contrast BIV with the history of souls, spirits, and other supernatural explanations where over time we have determined that physical brains are what give rise to our conscious experience via a host of physical evidence and experimentation. That process of scientific discovery is precisely what would require perfectly accurate simulation of the real brain by a BIV+simulator otherwise science would reach the (correct) opposite conclusion that our BIV-experience happens outside of the physical world.

EDIT: and finally, if the simulation is accurate enough then the brain in the vat is extraneous. The conscience experience will (also) be happening within the simulated brain, where the feeling of being embodied in the world will be accurate. A BIV in this case is simply a physical duplication of another brain.
I brought this up before, but the US government has been known to conduct experiments in regions on people, animals, land.

It's so strange to see the right concerned about corporate personhood. Swipes like that don't advance the conversation though.

What I do think is that this is the first major case of a fascist pushing the limits of the first amendment. The revocation of the special status was explicitly a direct consequence of Disney's protected speech.

I also believe that corporations should not govern. I would support revoking this district for basically any other reason. But that this targeted punishment due to the content of speech is undeniable, both because of desantis' statements and because The Villages, another special district that is very conservative did not have its status revoked.
This seems to make sense to me as a better medical system.
I am from Pakistan and have been in UK for last two years and it feels very weird when people start screaming "too hot" on 25C~30C

I used to be the same when I moved from the U. S. south (OMG hot) to the Pacific Northwest (Seattle), which has a climate similar to the U. K. Oh, how I'd mock the natives as they whined about the oppressive heat of the 25C day. Until about ten years into living here, then I, too, got used to the mild climate. And now I, too, complain when it hits about 27C/80F. ("Complain" is a bit strong; "damn, it's hot today" is more like it, I still like a nice 85F day).

>100F/38F was not all that uncommon in North Carolina, and it was damned hot when I lived there, but I'd still ride a motorcycle in full protective gear (yes, it was kinda miserable). When it went over 100F in Seattle last year, leaving the house was an exercise in survival, and riding a motorcycle in anything other than shorts would have likely killed me.

So give it a few more years, Pakistan native or not, you'll be as heat-intolerant as your neighbors in no time!

A tangential nitpick. Since the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, the month of Ramadan/Ramzan maps to different months in the Gregorian calendar depending on the year. [1] It has been and will be in the winter months during some of the years.

This is a topic near and dear to me:

the problem:

2022: https://www.bakerinstitute.org/media/files/files/3fb2c64b/bi...

1. U.S. population growth has been slowing for years, and in 2021, the population grew only by 392,665—or 0.1%, which is the lowest rate since the nation’s founding.
2. The U.S. will be older and more diverse but also unable to meet the workforce demands of a dynamic and competitive economy.

one of a few sources:

https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/12/no-kids-no-ca...

3. Of the 92.2 million adults ages 55 and older in 2018, 15.2 million (16.5%) are childless, defined here as having no biological children...childlessness is more common among the younger cohort of older adults. This suggests that childless adults will make up an even greater share of the older adult population in the future.

In addition to what other people are saying, there's also district heating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_heating Heat can be generated efficiently in some centralized location (from geothermal heat, power plant waste heat, solar, or whatever) and then distributed to nearby homes.

There's lots of ways to heat homes in ways which use way less than 1 joule of electricity for 1 joule of heat.
Still inefficient, but I guess that's power you were going to draw anyway.

You sure it's drawing 700W? Are you running multiple GPUs or what? Is that a server? Have you measured?

It's going to depend on which programming language you are examining, if that programming language is standardized, and how much of the development process is publicly available (open development process vs. proprietary languages with closed source development).

For Python, it looks like everything is on GitHub:

https://github.com/python/cpython

https://github.com/python/peps

It might take some exploring depending on what you are trying to find (over 100k commits in the git repo), but it looks like it is all there going back to Python 2.0 and earlier.
I'm curious how something like Chemistry is going to work. I was able to take 3 years of it at my high school and can't imagine not having a full hands-on lab component as part of the experience.

> is this the supposedly high quality treatment that U.S. citizens get that is so much more expensive as opposed to the „socialized“ insurance we get in Europe

I am an American who has lived in several countries and had experience several medical systems.

The US has the best care… if you have access to it. This access can be limited by geography, insurance, money, awareness of the specific doctor, etc.

In a random provincial area with no university medical school nearby, the treatment will often be quite sketchy.

In other countries I’ve lived in, the best medical care was still in the large cities, but the standard in provincial areas was to a much higher standard (imho) than in provincial areas in the US.
