I've got to say I completely agree. "I know I'm going to get downvoted for this" is for me a cue to downvote it. Make it a self-fulfilling prophesy. I don't downvote a lot, but this gets a consistent downvote from me.

Every comment that has that line can be improved by leaving it out.
"Details" is not intended to be centered -- it's left-aligned inside the right pane. You can faintly see the pane dividing line to the left of it. I haven't tried the app but I'm guessing that divider is resizable.

Is any of it factually incorrect[1]? Does it mark a change in tone for The Guardian in re. Musk or Tesla? How does it compare to articles about similar subjects?

“Hit piece” is a low-effort drive-by dismissal that reeks of news hate endemic to my friends on the other side of the aisle - and not unbiased analysis.

Exactly I hate the industrial revolution. I much preferred getting a splinter and then dying of a bacterial infection a week later.

Edit: in case anyone was wondering, the industrial revolution, namely the dye industry, started mass production of antibiotics, without the industrial revolution = no antibiotics
I still have my MP2000, and it powers up just fine. Although, it could handle year 2000...it seemed to hit the wall from a date range perspective soon after. Anyhow, I was soooo stoked at the time to get one. Back then, there was not a small, useful, handheld device. People that carried them were weirdos. I doubled-down and carried a giant Moto flip-phone too. As fun as the Newton was, it never became my killer device. Why? No one else had one. I could not easily share all that clever stuff I had in my Notes or my Calendar. I firmly believe that if more people had them...you would have seen more adoption. Casio made a few very colourful WinCe devices, too...same fate. And they were huge... may as well carry a real computer...a laptop.
As soon as cell phones got "apps"... calendar especially, then I knew PDA's were dead. When iPhone was launched...well, I knew that it was the smaller, smarter, more connected Newton that was imagined way back then.

We have found the enemy, and his name is JavaScript. Even on a fast laptop or desktop CPU, you can very readily feel the difference between Electron apps and e.g. Qt apps written in C++. But on the business side, using native code is a fair bit more expensive, so we use slow chunky “maximize development speed at the user’s expense” frameworks instead.

Scale that down to the anemic Cortex A CPUs in TVs, and then stack 3 years of software updates that target the current gen TV instead of the 3-year-old one and… Yeesh.

Somehow my super old Roku has maintained about the same performance over its long life. It’s got to be coming on 10 years now. It has never been snappy, but it’s been reasonably tolerable and has been very hassle free. Dunno what they’re doing different!

Vehicles have built-in hotspots and LTE modems in Europe for years now. Pretty much any german luxury brand car these days will come with builtin LTE modem for navigation traffic and other similar systems.

Also, use of your home internet modem to transmit a ISP-only open wifi is also legal according to many EU laws.
That is an example of someone who chose to shut down due to perceived risk. There is no argument on the linked page that that perception of the risk of running a free non-profit website under the GDPR is based in reality. In particular, the does not seem to have been any GDPR enforcement against said site.

It looks more like someone who does not like the GDPR (because it affects them in some other way, because they are mislead, out of principle or who knows what reason) who then chose to sacrifice their pet project to make a statement.
A rational anarchist believes that concepts such as ‘state’ and ‘society’ and ‘government’ have no existence save as physically exemplified in the acts of self-responsible individuals. He believes that it is impossible to shift blame, share blame, distribute blame… as blame, guilt, responsibility are matters taking place inside human beings singly and nowhere else. But being rational, he knows that not all individuals hold his evaluations, so he tries to live perfectly in an imperfect world ... aware that his effort will be less than perfect yet undismayed by self-knowledge of self-failure.

[...]

“My point is that one person is responsible. Always. [...] In terms of morals there is no such thing as ‘state.’ Just men. Individuals. Each responsible for his own acts.”

> "Ukraine’s ports are at MARSEC (maritime security) level 3 and remain closed for entry and exit. Sea mines have been laid in port approaches and some port exits are blocked by sunken barges and cranes."

So yeah, this quote literally says that ports are blocked because of war Putin wages on Ukraine.

Putin just loves this logic. "I'm not blockading anyone! Feel free to pass to a war-ravaged occupied region with active warfare going on. Everyone who is saying otherwise is a gay Nazi and should look at both sides".
Same. But capitalism's driving force, profit above all, is simply going to consume everything in the end.
I stayed at a place last week just like this, but the max was 9, not 10. If you get to 9 and press '+' again, it resets to 5! From there, pressing '-' goes down to 4, not back to 9, so press '+' another 4 times to get to max.
When I worked for an advertising network (a little guy compared to the duopoly of Google/Facebook), we had a request from an advertising agency for: Women, 25-35, Latino, in the greater Los Angeles area, who have 2 children and are expecting their 3rd child. Creepy is an understatement.

The other part of the industry which was extremely upsetting was the amount of racism. Ad agencies will make blacklists of both domains and/or keywords where they don’t want any of their ads to run - regardless of campaign. There are many things on the list which are related to terroism/crime/etc, but there are some which are directly about race - keywords like “black”, “ebony”, “asian”. It is depressing to say the least.
Imagine how much we're wasting with inkjet printers.
I recently reported a bike theft to the police in the UK. A few days later I received an email from someone who "screens" incoming crimes. It said "I cannot send the matter for further investigation as the value of the item stolen falls below our threshold to investigate". They didn't even check if there was CCTV coverage in the area.

I'm guessing that the bike thieves in this area are well aware of the value of this threshold and operate accordingly.

It feels like I'm living in a Discworld novel where petty crime is "designed in" to society. There's a mutual unwritten agreement that the thieves can do what they like, as long as they stick to lower-value items. If you're too poor to afford a replacement, tough luck. Even my home contents insurance was pointless, as the excess was greater than the bike's value.
In the pediatrician's advice I link to in this subthread, there's a "Common mistakes to be aware of at all ages" section, and about that:

"Goat's milk contains very little folate and its use as a primary calorie source causes megaloblastic anemia."

Cows milk over 32 oz/day will cause iron deficiency, and "In children this is a hypercoagulable state and can cause cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. I have see this."

Substitutes for human milk designed for human consumption turn out not to be trivial.

> I could never do that because I just don't care about other humans like that. She had a different type of intelligence to me. She wasn't better than me, we were different, but it was a fundamental difference that could not be learned.

A beautiful thing about us humans is that we are more similar than different in many ways, but our interests, tendencies and experiences draw us to certain individual behaviors, so we develop diverse skills, knowledge and temperaments. This duality is what I think makes us so powerful.

For me, the most dispiriting thing is that the UK is codifying a broken "meritocratic" system, with the flaws you identify, along with dubious rankings into international law.

What you're pointing out — that individuals should be allowed visas based on whatever merit they can make an argument for — should be the obvious thing. Why it gets buried in these layers of sociopoltically dysfunctional nonsense is beyond me.

I would go even further personally in opening up national borders, but I increasingly feel a political anomaly. A strong state in my opinion should afford opportunities for everyone to demonstrate contribution, and only take that away when someone has become a demonstrated risk.
Uhh... um, that's cough looking to change sometime soon.

I have used these (preinstalled or installed them myself) on several bicycles for years now, and none of them have been stolen yet. Mind you, that might also have something to do with the bicycles not looking very desirable (while being technically sound of course). For some added safety, there is also a version where you can attach a chain or cable which you can thread around a bike stand (https://www.amazon.de/Abus-11263-8-Fahrradschloss-St4850-sch...)

Long Term Capital Management is an interesting related story. They severely miscalculated the potential risks of what they were doing (both illiquid and very leveraged at the same time).

I was reminded of this because Bear Stearns was actually the only major player that refused to bail out LTCM [1], which pissed off a number of other firms. I don't know if the institutional memory was long enough for this to impact Bear 10 years later, but it is ironic they were looking for a bailout after being so adamant about not participating in one.

To your point, the main LTCM crew raised money to start a new fund only a couple years after their disastrous failure. People were willing to gamble millions on these guys still!

Short version: Alexa supports third parties extending it with "Skills" apps which may be commercial. Paid functionality may be enabled via verbal confirmation via an in-app purchase[1]. Paid functionality may be one-time or recurring.

Her sister caught the corresponding email just before the paid subscription would have started. The documentation says developers must mark skills targeted at kids and those aren't eligible to have this flow enabled.

[1] https://developer.amazon.com/es-MX/docs/alexa/paid-skills/ov...

edit to add -- that was all presented without comment. But having a device that can start up a recurring subscription if anyone says "yes" to one prompt exist at all, and having the toggle for the feature on by default and in options is in the "no thanks" column for me.

Steam implements DRM: https://blackshellmedia.com/2017/06/28/steam-employs-drm-mea...

Non-joke answer: DRM wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Steam Engine. That argument is central to anarcho-primitivism - industrial society will enslave people more and more through technology, and there is no way to prevent it, therefore industrial revolution is a mistake.

I was thinking the same initially. But I've been using my Yubikey for 6 or 7 years now, haven't lost it, haven't lost the recovery key which you create during initial setup, and it survived three times being machine washed. I don't know your full situation, but I'd say people are generally much better at not losing things than they think they are.

I think most folks call this vacation. A lot of employers have unlimited vacation policies to minimize their employees time away from the keyboard. It's very generous of them!

More seriously, taking time away is a good thing for any career path. I think some of my best work is done when I've had time away to actually live life. Somewhere in the deep unconscious mind I'm still designing systems and compiling algorithms that might solve problems I'm working on.

I might be somehow miscounting, but it seems to me that for the slow implementation a loop iteration issues 6 instructions, for the fast one it issues 21, but it is unrolled 4 times (compare the loop counter increment), so it iterates one fourth of the times and for the whole loop it ends up actually issuing slightly less instructions.

edit: to be clear, I'm only arguing about two things that the original parent quitestioned: whether vectorization is not free (it is because wider ALUs require less instructions) and whether the second loop used more instructions (it does not as it is unrolled by 4).

I watched a recent YouTube video from ADVChina where Winston explains that situation with the fonts. He disproves the theory that traditional Chinese is being used in the document. It is a fairly long explanation but the gist of it is that some simplified Chinese fonts bear more of a resemblence to traditional Chinese.

Firefox has image rescaling that doesn't blow chunks at non-integer scales.

I don't think this particular incident is any kind of big deal, though it's funny. It was only a £1.99 a month and there was a 7-day free trial anyway. Amazon say they emailed about it as confirmation. I think the issue it shows is how you can't trust voice control for anything important. It's just a bad interface for buying stuff particularly. If I am buying some dog food, I search dog food, glance over the options, check prices and delivery dates and reviews then plump for one. Thinking of doing the same by voice drains me.

"Alexa, order me the cheapest best reviewed dry dog food that will arrive tomorrow". Could that work? Would I trust that it had worked, if Alexa just said "ok" without me running off to a computer to check the order details and defeating the whole object? More likely it would turn into an exhausting game of twenty questions with the device narrowing my selection iteratively.

(I actually tried that sentence just now. Alexa remained in a stunned silence.)
I want to build a screen-less computing system that has a high-degree of affordances for people with different abilities. I want to be able to write software specifications in maths on an e-ink tablet, or a white-board, and have them interpreted and sent to an interactive theorem prover that displays the result back to me (or dictates it).

A system akin to https://screenl.es or https://dynamicland.org/ that can be assembled from existing parts as much as possible and extended to the needs of the user.

But the focus is to move away from keyboards and glowing screens and this fixed notion of computing that we've been stuck in since the 90s.

Nice to see projects like this. It makes me wonder if there are others out there with bigger budgets. As much as I enjoy hacking my reMarkable on the odd weekend there's a lot of work to do to get good gesture recognition capable of recognizing maths as well as hand-writing that is fast and can run on low-power devices. Plus the software stack to run the computing system on needs a lot of work to adapt to a screen-less paradigm. If I could dedicate myself to it full time I'd probably get much further than I can right now which has been... several years and mostly just have some hacky stuff running on my old RM1 and some email scripts.

Just one of those projects that probably won't see the light of day because it's not capitalist enough.
Nor would you, in all probability.
> And they appealed and then Twitter decided to uphold the decision.

Does Twitter ever not uphold its own decisions? I have serious doubts whether an intelligent human ever looks at these cases.

> Let's also not ignore the tweet and the thread is a really shitty joke. Then you go on to make a huge deal out of it? Just delete your dumb joke and move on.

There are several problems. One: "By clicking Delete, you acknowledge that your Tweet violated the Twitter Rules." This is a forced confession of an innocent person. You don't see a problem with that?

Another problem: You're forced to hand over your phone number to Twitter if you haven't yet. The same thing happened to me last year. https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/twitter4.html

Just a few days ago, Twitter was fined (not enough) by the FTC for abusing the 2FA phone numbers of Twitter users for advertising purposes. https://www.engadget.com/ftc-twitter-targeted-advertising-21...

That’s how the world works. How much of a Twitter following do the CEOs of ULA and Boeing have? Do their C-suites have legions of followers who will spring to their defense when they don’t care for the tone of a news article? Boeing has a market cap 10% of Tesla’s. How do ULA and other companies compare?

Putin's media will go into a frenzy. You will have Petersburg trolls posting all over the Reddit "spiteful gay Europeans leave refugees to death, so much for European tolerance!"

On the other hand if you let them in, Putin's media will go out of its way to stage provocations or pay some of the refugees to wreak havoc. "Your governments are letting in rapists, so much for European tolerance!"

They'll love it either way. The only way around it is to sink Black Sea fleet and prevent the whole famine from happening.
