I was set to be all libertarian about this, but your suggestion is probably more level headed.

There should be some common ground. Regulations that encourage innovation (perhaps even with timed financial incentives) while also ensuring that the best ideas are eventually freely adoptable across the board.

Seems like, as with most issues, people take one extreme or the other, when a common sense middle ground could be found with proper planning and forethought.
This is so absurd and disrespectful to the Native American warriors. Only a person completely ignorant of basically anything to do with Native American history would say something like this in this context.

Fair enough. I think it's time for those who do to make their case. We've run the experiment. The downsides are documented and tangible. There should be a way to thread the needle whereby the downsides can be limited without strangling all of the upside.

Interesting, as an engineer, I wonder what explains that.
Some IAPs are silently sabotaging p2p protocols: for instance, by default, in my country, with my IAP, only a limited range of the TCP/UDP ports is available on a dynamic IPv4 address. The p2p signaling server (tracker), won't be able to guess that the port it allocates for a peer is in this range then working.

More than a bumpy ride.

But I guess it depends heavily on the design of the p2p protocol (presuming UPNP availability).

But my IAP is providing, by default, unlimited full native IPv6.

The service is for businesses. For them, tens of millions of characters per month is not much at all. And they'd integrate the API and provide services to end-users/consumers. I can see how one could find it disingenuous, though, although I don't 100% agree.

I am also brazilian, and we are living a hell of time. Economy is ruined, inflation is getting high, food cost is sky rocketting, and a lot of people are starving (for real). Getting the best tools is clearly way down in the list of priorities in this country.

> Innovation is overrated. And standardising is not blocking.

Hard disagree? Both lightning and USB C were massive improvements in durability compared to Micro USB - I'd argue lightning is still better in that regard, because there's no thin piece inside the phone that can break (did phone repair, and 99% of the time a "broken" iphone port was just stuck lint).

USB C is not universally better then then Micro, namely it has a much larger footprint both on the connector side and the PCB.

> Will EU block innovation?

So my question is - if there's a new USB standard connector that's smaller, or is inside-out for better durability - is it now prevented from being used?
No no no you can’t replace the COBOL because then the COBOL programmers won’t have jobs. Perhaps the government should offer a basic amount of support for its citizens so that this isn’t a problem.
I'm all for stopping Apple,Sony, or other nasty megacorps from including deliberately 'unique' cables that cost a fortune to replace -- but when the bureaucrats get involved in anything, particularily technology, it frequently ends up being a disaster. This is for a few reasons not the least of which is that the types who are in government are not the types who can make anything useful let alone novel. Even worse the types who influence government are also mostly useless except for their ability to influence government.
More Venezuelans used Zelle with dollars than crypto. I was able to donate dollars without issue directly to the Ukrainian government.

Crypto proponents trot out these edge suboptimal use cases as excuses to allow an entire global Ponzi scheme to continue, when the discussion should be “what mechanisms can be provided to support refugee value protection and transferring value to friendly nations under attack using existing fiat rails and the laws that protect users of them?” That’s not hard to do using existing systems, but crypto proponents are so wrapped up in the thought of their digital assets rapidly declining in value that it isn’t an option to them. “Crypto must be the way.” when the evidence is clear it is not.

How to Become TikTok Influencer: There's a College Class for That
You need to distinguish design trends from what the regulation enforced.

The most obvious examples that come to mind:

- Small cars aren't that small anymore to stop them from being blatant death traps.

- A lot of the edges have been smoothed and curved to make impact with pedestrians less deadly (also killed pop-up lights and hood ornaments, which is kinda funny considering the Mercedes Benz hood ornament was sometimes jokingly described as a sight to aim for pedestrians)

- Thick A pillars due to crash tests regulations

While I can blame these for killing out novel or even trademark features of some vehicles lineups, I don't think alone they made everyone homogenize their design, it's just what the industry eventually converged on by themselves.

Look at phones, there's no regulation on what a phone should look like, yet today phones are just a fancy screen, nothing like the incredible variety that Nokia alone sported back in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Those solutions aren’t very good, so I doubt Apple would go that route.

Frankly, I’m expecting the lightning port to be replaced with a purely inductive/magnetic solution eventually, there probably will not even be a receptacle for it, just a wireless contact to the phone from the wire like how the Apple Watch can only charged.

I’m guessing in that case, they would be exempt from providing a usb-c port since the phones would be technically purely wireless by that point. At that point, other vendors will follow and the EU will mandate Qi as the standard wireless charging solution since the USB-C mandate will be obsolete.
Super PACs have to report how they spend their money and where they got it from. As long as they don't communicate with a campaign, how they spend it is free speech. This is very different from not reporting where you spend your money or where you got it from.
I know several ppl who need to use several devices because of that limit.
You open yourself up to a much more devastating attack vector though: sim swapping.

If someone can convince the human at the other end of the line that they are you and that they lost their phone, in most countries and with most telco's, they will be able to get up and running with a new SIM with _YOUR_ number.

Resettting your Authy password via SMS is then just a step away.
Thank you!

Great question, There are quite a few differences, namely in our product design focus. We've taken a more configurable and flexible approach that focuses on plugging into a companies existing stack and their process. Often times we'll have customers send us their entire playbook on what they have now and ask us to automate that as a starting point (e.g. rename Slack channels to my Jira number for incidents, etc). We do this to hopefully reduce the amount of change required when a new tool is brought in. As a result we focus on features such as our Workflows engine that allows for this customization. Another big area of focus for us is unsurprisingly Slack, we think of the other areas of Rootly such as our Web platform to be the backend that powers this.

FH does a lot of things well and has great customers too. They have a sleek UI, strong security posture, and more. Their approach is more opinionated in guiding you through incident best practices. There is no wrong answer here as we hear plenty from customers that want both.
Or when the 4-th awaited ring-of-fire event (9+ earthquake) will overflow the Diablo nuclear power station at the coast at 6m height above seawater. This is directly located at their major fault. Could be in the next 2000 years, but the latest 3 9+ events on each corners all happened short after another, just the 4th is missing (chile, indonesia, japan => california).
The automaker financing is often subsidies. In the past you could choose a rebate or their low interest financing, if you ran the math the rebate was basically the difference between the interest rate they offer and what a little more than what a fair market value interest rate would be. I seems the rebate option as disappeared though, so financing is probably your only option to get these rates.

Of course in the end if you have options you need to run your own numbers. Things change far too often to give general advice.

Are really the non-standard cables to blame here?

How about non-removable batteries and unrepairable phones? Many phones would be still ok, but the non-removable (cheaply) battery means that they get replaced prematurely, because the cost of replacement is overlapping the price of a low/mid tear phones. Back in the day, you pulled the back cover off, put a new batter in, and the phone was as good as new. Same with other types of repair, especially the kinds where manufacturer just replaces the whole assembly just because of one small part malfunctioning.
Financial risk relative to what?

This is the truth of the matter. Apple has been dragging their feet on switching away from lightning.

Why? No idea. It's a much slower standard, and puts the wearing parts in the port instead of the cable. USB-C is designed by committee, sure, but the port itself is better than lightning in nearly every consumer metric there is.
I do t get the pricing on things like this and pingdom. This stuff seems like it should be cheap, like $5/user/mo. But everyone seems to go expensive.

> Cost for nukes is not falling.

This is not a law of nature. Nukes are technology. The cost of technology goes down in times as people make progress in that area. But if people stop building new stuff, they stop making progress, and they even regress.

America and the West stopped building nuclear power plants 30 years ago. Except for the naval nuclear reactors. America still churns them at a steady pace. Roughly new Virginia-class submarine is being commissioned every year, and a new Gerald Ford class aircraft carrier every 4 years. Columbia class submarines will be build at a pace of about one every 4 years too, the first one is being built now. All in all, the US is manufacturing between 1 and 2 nuclear reactors per year. The costs are classified, but you can infer indirectly that they are around $2-3 BN / GW. That compares quite well with the more than $10 BN / GW for civilian reactors. It is even cheaper than the capital cost for a state of the art coal power plant.

If we just increase the manufacturing of naval reactors from 1-2/year to 10-20/year, then why would we not see a decrease in cost?

That's the whole idea of the Small Modular Reactors. NuScale estimates that their levelized cost of energy will be $40-65/MWh. The average price paid by the US consumers last year was about $140/ MWh. In New York State, the average price was $220/ MWh.

You could say that the levelized cost of energy for solar is only $30/MWh. But that is based on the existing plants, and guess what, there are lots of plants in sunny California and few in New York State. If you want to build a new solar plant in NY State, then the levelized cost of energy will be higher. That cost cannot continue to decrease indefinitely, for the simple fact that the price of solar panels can only go to zero, but not less. After that, you're still left with the cost of land acquisition, of hooking to the network, with the maintenance, labor, etc, etc. Those costs won't significantly go down. The cost of land acquisition will actually go up, as you built on cheap land first, and then you need to move to more expensive one.
The mistake here, is that 2FA is used in a circular logic hence it's not useful to use it. If you must avoid 2FA being a problem in a situation like this just don't use it; remember a password or otherwise keep it secure; never lose it.
> Lightning is physically thinner than USB-C.

The thinnest smartphones on the market currently are all USB-C phones so that does not really seem to be an issue. These are a good 2mm thinner then the thinnest iPhone ever made.
The specific Dark Sky feature no one has cloned adequately is the microforecast that says "it will rain on you in 8 minutes". There's a zillion apps that do a decent job of hourly and daily weather forecasts. But the particular rain warning was something Dark Sky was uniquely good at.

Rain Alarm on Android comes close, and even uses Dark Sky data (for now). But the UI isn't as good and the predictions aren't as accurate.

PS: understand that if you join Apple your work will be consumed and digested by the company in a way that renders your personal identity invisible. This is true both for companies like Dark Sky and for individuals.

In the US, auto insurance policies are split into 3 buckets: collision, comprehensive and liability. Comprehensive kicks in for events which are “not collisions,” so tree falling on the car, theft, etc.

You are required to have liability and collision coverage in most states, but comprehensive is optional. People often drop it from their policies to save on the premium. I have tried doing that on one of our vehicles over the years but have barely realized any savings so I’ve ended up keeping it on the policy. Seems like others have fared better.
