No, it doesn't. Almost all my devices (macbook, camera, speaker, phone, headphones...) use usb c pd and I am using the same three cables interchangeably for all of them, no issues.

If Apple choses to intentionally break this compatibility it's a user hostile company.

They don't even manage to provide adequate content reviews for the .1% (probably an even smaller percentile) of YouTube creators that bring in the big advertisment revenues for the platform. Providing good support for them would easily pay for itself, and is the single biggest issues creators have been raising for years but nothing has substantially changed.

> Higher level abstractions = less labor required (e.g. serverless), plus additional supply of labor = lower costs.

I've been hearing this about new technologies also since the 90s - going to make programmers obsolete/need less programmers. What ends up happening is what's required expands. I'm sure there's some quippy law here.

> Wages are always defined by the equilibrium point between supply and demand of labor, never by the value add of the job.

Your analogy is only focused supply while keeping a fixed demand. In fact, 'value' drives demand. The reason why demand keeps outpacing supply is the value of technology is enormous.

Will the demand side eventually slow? On a long enough timescale I have to say yes, but a lot of people have gone broke betting against the pace of technology.
As another commenter explained, the only problem here is that the pin pad is doing any logic at all. It should only be sending key presses to the internal controller safely inside the safe body, there is no reason for it to do anything else
But you won't be paid 100% for 40 hours, you will be paid 100% for 32 hours. And people that work 40 hours should get more than those that work 32 hours.

By the way, it is common to be paid far less for 40 hours than you should receive as well, and plenty of people work unpaid overtime who would be happy just to work the 40 hours they get paid for.

Salary negotiations are always tricky, especially if you don't know your true market value. Given the difference between compensation at different companies one way you could attack this problem is to find a company that will match your current salary but at a reduced number of hours. Employees have the same problem that companies have: it is hard to charge by value if you don't know your value.

As a gardener my work is worth less than as a computer programmer than as a financial advisor. Because each of those domains values time entirely differently, and because there are different levels of competition.

If you can show your boss that if you work less that your productivity will likely remain the same or that it will go up they will probably wonder why they've been paying you for all that extra time in the past... so instead I would just argue to try moving to a different company at a better salary for the same amount of work or for the same salary with less work.
I thought they were called buffers because they buffed and polished your text.
And you should go into the dealership with clear alternatives to each.

There are lots of dealers to buy vehicles from, lots of people to sell your vehicle to, plenty of alternatives to "add on", most of which are unnecessary, and lots of banks and credit unions to loan you money.

When you have alternatives and can use them at the dealer, you'll get dealership down on prices. Understand the incentives the dealers have (how they make money, especially extra money), understand their cost structure, etc. and you'll have even more bargaining power.

For example, you can often leverage financing to get the price down. The dealers get extra cash by bringing financing deals to their partners, so they might take a few hundred off the vehicle if you finance. Even if you want to pay cash, take the financing (make sure no origination fees or early payment fees) and pay it off before it accrues any interest.

I've also walked into dealers before with print outs of the same vehicle priced lower at other dealers and magically they become more flexible. I've ever tried this before where I didn't present this info and they let me walk out of the store, refusing to budge. Then when I came back with the info, they became more flexible.

The service departments pull this nonsense as well. I've negotiated service prices down 40% in the past and know that you can use things like recall repairs to get a better deal on repairs you actually need done (if you do x repair for $y, you can do this recall repair as well).

I think dealers are an extremely bad component of the vehicle market, but eliminating them will lead to people who can exploit the system to pay more. It will be an overall net benefit for the market though.
This is a tool with a clear benign use, along with a bunch of malign ones. If you create something with significant potential for harm, then you should at least think about that, the potential consequences, and possible mitigations.

I wouldn't term it a failure of empathy to ask that people consider the impact of their actions on others. I totally get why they have the disclaimer, and I wouldn't ask them to remove it, but I don't think it's enough. Given the clear potential for harm here, the potential uses and misuses of this tool should have been addressed directly.
Fair enough about your existing cables, but cables would be thrown away if we enforced Lightning, as well (probably a lot more, but I have no numbers on that). I don't really get the arguments of durability and ease of plugging, both cable types seem very easy to plug. As for durability, that seems to depend on cable quality and not on the USB C standard.

As for evolution/innovation, sure, that's a real downside. Seems like a quite small price to pay though because it is just about charging. And if I understand this correctly, you can still innovate and add Super Charge 3000 to your device, it just needs to have USB C charging as well, and you need to be able to opt out of getting yet another charger with your new device.

As for working on actual stuff: They can do both - Regulating mining would be great, but this is also good.

With all due respect ... this is basic probability theory. It's not really controversial what the solution is. The article's failures are mainly pedagogical.

We can agree that "the entire structure is wrong" because the "entire structure" is giving a wrong formula for the EV and saying "this is the formula for the EV."

Yes, switching and not switching have the same EV and you can always switch.

Release/don't release is definitely the choice with the highest impact, but it's not the only thing that can be considered.

Who you release things to, in what form, with what framing - all of these impact how something will be used. You can never eliminate bad actors, but you can encourage responsible use.

Have you thought of the chilling effect this might bring?
> Defenders have to always win on all fronts, but terrorists only have to win once on any of n fronts

It depends on how you design systems and processes.

Let Mn denote the nth defense mechanism of a system. We can build architectures in which the probability of breaches is calculated as:

(M0 is pwned) AND (M1 pwned) AND (M2 is pwned) AND (M3 is pwned).....

You can see the total probability can become small quickly, as it's computed as the product of all probabilites. The collorary is: it's possible to design secure systems from insecure building blocks (as long as those are reasonably uncorrelated!)

Insecure systems are generally designed the way you suggest in your post: if a single defense mechanism is breached, the whole system will be breached. So you basically are as secure as your weakest link.
The only advantage with type A is that it's large enough you can use a set of flat pliers to straighten it out. Type-C is nearly impossible to do that with.
Completely replacing the character design is still an odd odd choice for an example about improving pixel art, even if the author acknowledges that that is what was done.
> “Obviously the more potential someone sees the more they will be involved”

This sentence summarizes why crypto is so peculiar. It’s all about belief in some potential, not utility or returns. And you’re supposed to get “involved”.

When you buy a stock or a bond or a derivative or a currency hedge, it doesn’t usually become a way of life. But crypto isn’t a practical financial product so much as a club membership. Bored Apes figured this out and took out the financial pretense completely.
this is a really interesting article that explains how diabetics use insulin, and different types of insulin.

https://maori.geek.nz/the-unreasonable-math-of-type-1-diabet...

The tl;dr: is that there are longer+shorter acting insulins, and you want to mix and match them to roughly match your blood glucose levels (so taking short acting insulin shortly before meals when your blood glucose levels spike)
> Your tone in this and the AMA thread is combative, and wouldn't lead to a productive discussion.

That's mostly your impression. But that may be because you believe that I have a position with regards to this particular software, which I do not, I just see this as an opportunity to gain insight in the position of the author which I find interesting and which may help guide me in similar decisions in the future, because it's something that I've been wrestling with for a long, long time. Since 1995 in fact.

> It would be much more interesting to discuss the technical merits of this project than any particular moral concerns you might have, especially on this forum.

What you find more interesting and what I find more interesting do not necessarily have to be the same things, and you are totally welcome to ask your technical merits questions.

Finally, I don't like to be told what I can and can not discuss, especially not in a thread started by someone who wrote 'AMA' where the third A stands for 'Anything'.

Sure, but the people 4600 years ago were the ones that paid the price for building the pyramids. How do 15M people visiting it today help them?

We're talking about using everybody's money for these science projects. And this is not money that's voluntarily given, it's taken.
It's not just Mathematics.

I've heard of Science professors who use English scores to sift through PhD applicants. They reason this to be an effective way to find the strongest amongst otherwise equal candidates. (There is also a benefit in terms of writing papers, but writing strengths cannot make up for scientific weakness. Thus, writing is not the central point, as mathematical ability is not the central point in this econlib.org essay.)

I've not seen "gold standard" (large, randomized, double-blinded, ...) studies of the effectiveness of this selection strategy. And I don't know how such studies could even be done: in research departments, it costs a lot to take on PhD students, and a lot rests on their success.
You haven't brought any of those cheap Chinese cables, haven't you?

I have such cables, which can't be really used for charging as well as for fast data transfer. They are good for my development hardware kits, I have. Because those kits don't have any high power requirements. But I cannot use them to power my notebook.
The “ftp://“ is a protocol/scheme and not part of the domain’s definition, hinting that the client should connect to port 21 of the A record. With a put ftp client, defining the scheme/protocol is not necessary.
I don't think anyone so far has called for this to be unpublished, just for it to be more carefully considered and for the ethical aspect to be addressed when publishing. That's part of 'building a culture of distrust'.

Knee-jerk refusal to even consider thinking/talking about the use of technology is far more irresponsible than any other stance.
I predict the true result (probably masked) will be reduced production, resulting in scarcity of goods, resulting in increased prices.
It's probably worth noting that iPads and Macbooks charge with USB-C, and that seems generally fine.
> I understand the complexity for data, but for power I wish it was as simple as power & ground wires and that's it.

The minimum requirements are that you have to support the USB 2.0 protocol:

> While BC1.2 is still supported over USB Type-C because it depends on the USB2.0 lane, a significantly simplified and higher power current capability mechanism is also implemented. This simplified approach involves resistor pull-down/ pull-up relationships. These pull-down/pull-up resistors are connected to the CC wire and the upstream facing port (UFP) must monitor the voltage on the CC1 and CC2 pins in order to detect the current sourcing capability of the down- stream facing port (DFP) it is connected to. This is a substantial improvement over the complicated handshake mech- anisms involved with USB BC1.2.

> The basic USB Type-C current capabilities are Default USB (500mA for USB2.0 and 900mA for USB3.0), 1.5A@5V, and 3A@5V.

This almost certainly prompts a USB-C iPhone followed by a portless one. (I don’t think they’re thin enough yet for USB-C to be structurally compromising.) In the box will either be no charger or a wireless charger with a USB-C port, thereby technically meeting the requirement.
Disappointing and misguided. It’s especially sad to see Bruce Schneier indirectly advocate for back doors.
In many, if not most, countries, if you don't pay your property taxes, if you don't do "adequate upkeep" of the property, or if the government decides it's needed for something more important, it can be forcibly bought off and you'd be lucky if they pay you current market value and not the price you paid when you bought it. Or, in less developed places, they just confiscate it.
Oops; I meant to say 2013 iMac...
I'm wondering the same thing. I was surprised they even released a public API. I thought for sure it would be limited to iOS/macOS apps only. It does require a developers account now - which means an upfront cost for anyone who isn't in the Developer program. And the pricing tiers aren't as friendly as before. But the free tier is much higher now (500,000 now vs 31,000 with DarkSky). Hopefully they don't jack the price up in the future.

> No location permissions needed to get basic weather data, to reduce location permission use by apps when it's only for weather.

This seems tricky. The response currently returns the latitude/longitude, so it could be a possible way for an app to get around requiring location permissions. Even if they excluded that, there are other data points that could probably help narrow things down, particularly when there is an active weather alert, because those tend to specify locations.
This is still a lot harder than just using the deepfake application in the OP. But I’ll admit the arms race might not be over yet.

Oh well. I just returned 3 USB-C hubs in a row, one almost fried my computer. Since the introduce of USB-C, I have more cables than ever. There are virtually so many types of USB-C cables with different capabilities and all looks almost exactly the same. Some cannot handle charging current of 2A or less. Some might be able to do 3A, some maybe 5A. And some of it is USB 2.0, some are USB 3.x 5Gbps, 10Gbps, 20 Gbps or maybe even 40 Gbps. Some have DP-Alt mode, some don't. It's simply a random combination of any of the previous stuff. I wish I had read the specs and labeled them correctly. Now I have a whole bunch of them and I cannot tell which can do what except very few long thick ones for my monitors.
Just curious. If there is a seemingly better connector emerged in the future, could vendors experiment it on new devices on their own? Or do they have to first submit a proposal to the regulator and then deploy it to the device after the proposal has been accepted? I am afraid that the latter could harm innovation.
The 13” MBP is $1,299 and has better performance and better battery life than the MBA. The 14” is too expensive at $1,999, has inferior battery life, and weighs more.

They sell 1 TB iPhones that shoot 4K ProRes video. It also has terrible quality when used for video out connecting to a TV for e.g. a presentation. Lightning is wholly inadequate for modern devices.

While my observation is that most other Python packages don't import all subpackages.

"import urllib" does not also import urllib.parse, so you can't do:

import urllib
urllib.parse.quote("A&W")

but instead must explicitly import urllib.parse.

scikit-learn supports essentially the same use cases as NumPy and it doesn't import all its subpackages:

>>> import sklearn
>>> sklearn.linear_model
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'sklearn' has no attribute 'linear_model'
>>> import sklearn.linear_model
>>> sklearn.linear_model
<module 'sklearn.linear_model' from '[...]sklearn/linear_model/__init__.py'>

Thus leading to my earlier comment:

> The NumPy developers think "practicality beats purity" is more important, and their main use-case is long-running programs where startup costs are slow, which I interpret as meaning their special cases is special enough to break the rules.
Other than in a tongue-in-cheek manner or by the occasional inveterate prescriptivist, neither variation is considered poor spelling.

Not if the camera includes metadata like focus, shutter speed, accelerometer, GPS, etc. I don't really know, but I imagine the hardware security required wouldn't be too far from what's common now. Cameras are already unrepairable, so I suppose the arguments would have to be more from the privacy and who-controls-the-chipmakers perspectives.
A lot of sites allow you to create backup codes that you can print out and use once instead of the security key.

As someone who recently traded back to Apple a whole pile of older machines, don't sleep on that option. I had some fancy stuff like an iMac Pro, and some stuff as far back as the first Retina iMac. I'd been sitting on them because 'I can use them for something' (and there was software I had perpetual license to that wasn't offering free update to Apple Silicon).

Even the oldest stuff got me a couple hundred bucks from Apple in trade-in. The iMac Pro got me nearly three thousand dollars in trade-in. Don't sleep on the trade-in, you're feeding their 'refurbished' market and even if it goes to landfills it's not normal landfills, they're very interested in recycling some of the materials out of the machines. They wouldn't be offering that much in exchange if they weren't serious about it.
