I'm saying it because I've actually read the spec. The spec

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-images/#the-image-rendering

says

> pixelated:

> The image is scaled in a way that preserves the pixelated nature of the original as much as possible, but allows minor smoothing instead of awkward distortion when necessary.

The spec does not say "use nearest neighbor". In fact in specifically allows not using nearest neighbor (end of first sentence). And further, it doesn't specify the algorithm used.

So there is no true definition of what you'll get. There is only a general definition of the intent.

6th gen fighters are still in development and aren't anywhere near ready for anything in a movie. The 5th gen planes are all single seaters and the Navy didn't want to risk the new shiny planes.

But as you know, the Eagles could have flown the ring to Mordor, but it would have been a boring story.
> The only role of naval ships in modern warfare is to carry attack aircraft.

That's not true - naval ships are also used to launch missiles, to land marines, to sweep for mines, to fight other ships trying to do these things, etc.

It's not even true that carriers only do attack. They also do fighter roles, anti-submarine, helicopter platforms, air defence platforms, etc.
I would guess it was to add suspense
I don't think apple is the company to talk about pixel perfect. They don't even support native resolutions. It's either tiny, unreadable text, or you have to scale.
Naval catapults don't apply force to the main gear either. Mostly is to the nose gear now, but it used to through the use of bridles to points on the wing (and wing spar). The bridles were a pain though, so they transitioned everything to the nose gear attachment. You can tell when a carrier transitioned, because they took the bridle catchers off the bow (the little narrow ramps at the front).
Yes that is a problem. And the worst part is because the heuristics are a black box there are no developer controls to fix it yourself. You are the whim of Google’s ability to correctly interpret what it sees. Sometimes its wrong
You can also sell your plugins, but it does feel less "good" to be adding value to a commercial product that you're not a part of. By that, I mean there is somewhat of a sense of community around OSS that you can't replicate within a commercial space.
I was a hardware repairman, working on 8080 based industrial control/comms equipment in the 80's.
I started to suffer from what I knew was an irrational fear, of "logic radiation". I kept presenting this notion to myself despite knowing that it was wrong.
Eventually I had to give up my trade for fear of the irrational effects of the work on my state of being. Of course there were other factors involved.
Since that time I've healed pretty much, and I've learned somwthing... that overwork and mental strain can hugely distort my perceptions.

Yet the lesson to be learnt well here is that some day, somebody like this Google engineer will give an AI agency, and then we truly will be in trouble.
You can send IMs via GPay. There was even a short lived "groups" option
Apple shows products, including new OSs, that ship just around the corner or that very same day or week.

I was surprised how many "products" presented by Google were merely "concepts" or has a 2023 "estimated" ship date.

That's like car prototypes in car shows: they are not real cars, only concepts and divagations. From a professional point of view, there's not much interest in that comparing to real-new-car launches.

You can't bet on Google effectively delivering the products they announced in Google I/O. Or if they really launch some of them, they can be sunsetted in a really short time, like a coupe of years, or languish without progress like zombies (as Google Travel, comes to my mind).

That's a problem as a user, because Google creates increasing uncertainty over their new products and launches, even with some old ones (like the free Google G Suite under your own domain). And as a developer, it's hard to invest heavily in most of the stuff Google presents.

In contrast, Apple presentations are interesting as a Developer, as any other kind of professional who uses Apple products, or even an average normal person who uses some Apple devices. And they present REAL stuff and when they do present it, it's because they are committed to it.
Aircraft carriers for force projection. The US Navy has more aircraft carriers than the rest of the world combined. The US Navy broken out from the US armed forces would be the second biggest air force in the world.
Copy pasted from a Reddit thread:

> The main differences are Navy pilots focus on maritime strike missions and anti submarine warfare. Strike missions involve the carrier air wing which is embarked. All of the squadrons in the air wing are responsible for supporting the fighter aircraft in their strikes off of the carrier. It is essentially a forward deployed force.

> As for ASW we have P-8s which do strategic anti sub warfare. These focus on strategic issues and tracking subs.

> Air force isn't a maritime strike operation like the navy is. They can focus more on single operations such as bombing, air to air, etc. The navy uses on strike aircraft for a multitude of missions while the Air Force uses multiple aircraft for different missions.

> Air Force is also responsible for something called Internal Air Defense (IADS). This is basically intercepting aircraft that try and attack the United States. If anyone tried to bomb us and crossed into our air space the Air Force would be ready to scramble and send fighters up to stop them.

>which doesn't really care about the economy

I think investors don't buy this because long term population health and state capacity are significantly more important 10, 20, 30 years down the line than short term disruptions, and that is why investors are bullish on China.

Shutting a port down for one month is bad, having a hundred million people struggle with long covid is a lot worse. The bull case is pretty simple. The country has governance that is effective enough to tackle problems that most other places have given up on, even if it isn't particularly pretty in the short run.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Steve Jobs didn't believe in responsive webdesign and the browser on iPhone originally didn't support RWD. He believed people should access the full website and use gestures to zoom in and out on the website. Part of the reason apple.com was so late adapting to mobile breakpoints.

So saying that the iPhone was responsible for RWD is too much credit I think.
F35s are single seat, and Tom Cruise can't fly it (alone) for live-action shots.
In a word: showmanship.

Apple makes its sales events (WWDC is a sales event) feel like something big, an occasion, something special to look forward to, like the revealing of a secret to the in-crowd.

This focus on the spectacle, the presentation and the perception, is a huge part of the company’s DNA.

People love this. Google is pretty terrible at it. Like Microsoft, they are getting better by watching Apple but showboating is not in Google’s DNA.

This isn’t just about Apple presentations. It’s all through the products and everything the company presents externally (internal tools are sometimes ugly and shit though).

Go back and look at the release of the original iMac; an outdated computer with a shoddy OS, built into a curvy, shiny, colorful case… people literally lined up to buy them. I refused on the grounds that I knew what was in that box… yet I still want one today. Mmmm shiny…

WWDC is the same. It’s not an accident. They think and work hard on making it happen.
This is support for web push notifications in safari it seems. (https://web.dev/push-notifications-overview/) - and it plays nice with macs. I guess it is useful if you want to support Safari for your webapp + use push notifications.
The F-35C (Navy variant) has barely been deployed out to the fleet. I think only one squadron is using F-35s and they’re still working on training/integrating the platform into carrier operations. Didn’t Top Gun 2 get filmed 3-5 yrs ago? I don’t think any F-35s were operating with the Navy then. Another point is that dog fights and exciting maneuvering is dead in 21st century air-to-air combat. Planes are basically sniping each other from 40-60+ miles away with missiles. Not as exciting to watch.
To be blunt i would trust an engineer making a system that said there was a security concern in a system over a security engineer.

The only time you might want to listen to a security engineer is when they percieve a problem that the builder doesnt and even then my professional experience with security engineers is way too many are boys who cry wolf and parrot whatever the sweeping tools say.

Phrased another way i would trust an engineer who put up a bridge if they said the bridge had issues over an inspector whose paycheck is very much dependent on not finding issues.

Kids walk to and from school at like 5 years old in Europe. In some countries they also walk home for lunch, since there is a break with no childcare where they have to go home to eat.

If children are never allowed to learn independence, then you end up in this never-ending feedback loop of required supervision.
I'm not arguing that the sun isn't good for you or that bright lights don't make you feel of more awake. Of course they do.

My argument is that you can override this with good sleep hygiene, which teenagers don't have. You have to fix the hygiene problem, not the clock problem. They are trying to fix the symptoms and not the cause.

However, the ironic thing is you are arguing for teenagers to wake up early and NOT sleep in. It's the long wavelengths of light at sunrise and sunset that reset your circadian rhythm:

It's just completely unrelated to why the aircraft passes you before you hear it.
Some of what you say in your second part makes sense, although it has absolutely no bearing, nor is it a counter argument to the post you are replying to. It certainly doesn't refute the parent poster's statements about now, today, right now, instead, at best, maybe over 30 years, change could slowly be enacted.

However, as a Canadian, some of what you say is just plain gibberish. My rural county, not province or country, but county, is on its own larger than some European countries, with a population of 20,000.

If you tried to put schools within even 10 miles of every kid, you'd end up with hundreds of one room schools, with a teacher teaching 4 kids.

The problem here is, there is no one size fits all. Trying to make suggestions needs to be more location specific.

Because when someone starts talking about rural living in the US and Canada, Finnish experience has no parallel.

I mean, come on, I've seen farms, just a single farm owned by one man in rural Manitobia, larger than massive cities!

Millions of acres of land, with just wheat and rye on it! Owned by a dude, presumably larger than some countries!
They've gradually broken it over the years, but it still runs in some limited form. It's barely interoperable with modern XMPP, but occasionally I hear of people still using it.

And yet, excepting two countries (IIRC), altitude is normally in feet for ATC. Which means instruments are in feet.
The main issue is not cost, but safety and the disturbance of others.

Safety: If you crash in a car, its very likely that you survive. With these a crash is very likely deadly. To reach safety levels like commercial airplanes costs will need to rise tremendously. A commercial jet needs maintenance and checks after each flight by trained personnel, high quality parts that can be tracked from the refinery,...

Privacy: You dont want these flying over your house 7/24. They fly much lower than commercial planes, with a mediocre camera you could spy on anyone.

Crime: What if you divert one? Will there be security checkpoints at the entrance?

Weather: I'm no aviation expert, but these look... flimsy. Are they able to run on cold weather? (batteries last much less in cold) Are they able to run in storms? Likely not, even commercial planes avoid them. Then I guess they suspend the service during storms, since with their "local" distances as big as the circumference of a storm cloud?
There's likely a reason they picked Switzerland, Munich, New York and California as examples ;)

I'm interested in how those prices break down. Without any more details, it's hard to know if they're realistic at all.
Granted I don't know the context of the given quote, but I definitely agree with at least one interpretation of it. If you need communication and synchronization between teams to achieve your goal, there's a lot more room for missing memos, misunderstanding etc. In that sense indeed, communication between teams is terrible in the sense that it adds extra drag to the whole process. Of course, there's ways to spin this quote in a number of other ways too, which is why I think the quote without any additional context doesn't really illustrate any one point.
It was a movie making decision. The flight scenes are not flown by the actors. Instead they are in the back seat while actual pilots fly them.

The f-35c is a single seater. The Navy isn't letting actors fly their jets. So the only choice is the super hornet.

The f-22 is an air force jet, not Navy. Top Gun is Navy. The f-22 is also single seat.
Dude, I Want To Believe™ just as much as you, but citing the NYPost does not constitute “truth” at all. We all know that we are subject to propaganda, all know how Cambridge Analysis manipulated public opinion and political agendas. Robert Murdoch [spit] and his disinformation newspapers. NYPost is barely a step up from the Weekly World News and their Bat Boy.

The story is hilarious. It is plausibly true: the Russian frontline has a lot of folk from remote, impoverished provinces: poorly educated, subsistence-farming, expendable farm boys.

One notes that you phrasing reads opposite to the story. It claims Russian troops posing as Ukr terrorists left behind absurd “evidence” based on misunderstanding their commander’s orders.
Ironically it's the wavelengths at sunrise which have the greatest affect. If teenagers are sleeping in they don't get to see these:

In my area they swapped high school and middle school times to help HS teens. My 7th grader got up at 5:45am to get ready and catch bus at 6:45am.
> Is that actually the case?
> I always thought they were trying to copy Apple's "power nap", for checking email and whatnot while asleep.

I think it's both, or that the latter is part of the former - "instant on" includes things like e-mail being already received etc., essentially a smartphone experience.

But it's not a smartphone, obviously, I've never got burned and had battery swelled on my smartphone simply because I dared to put it into my pocket. Laptops, on the other hand, are not supposed to be mobile devices anymore and should stay stationary, at least according to Microsoft.
I have tried this. In fact, I have lived for several months consistently waking up at 7AM because I had to. I functioned, it was okay, I was productive and I'd say happy, but eventually I drifted back to my natural schedule and I realized ALL that I was missing out on and had forgotten about.
People change. My mother used to be a "party girl" and she says that her life completely changed when I was born. She started waking up early, like 7AM, and that was far out of her schedule (I think she lived like me, to be honest). So I'm sure I may one day change, but that hasn't happened yet, even after living for the aforementioned months in a very different way[1].

But I can very confidently say that while I can certainly function, be productive at my job, be liked by my peers, and be happy waking up at 7AM, I can be much better at everything, and much happier (and even creative!) if I just follow my more natural rhythm.

To be honest, I've grown particularly tired of some morning people insisting that if I just "tried it", it would "work" and that the morning is so much better and we can adapt. That I "need" to change because that's how "everyone works". I did try. It didn't work as advertised. Functional, even happy, but in nearly every way inferior to what I am now. Moreover, it's been obvious for a long long time, in many ways, that I'm not like "everyone else". Look at it from whatever angle, and I'm not. It's life, I live with it and enjoy it, and I guess that's what ultimately matters.

[1] Someone below mentioned this is based on the environment and context, and not genetics. I can certainly agree, but my environment won't change overnight, nor do I want it to. My life right now works much better, and makes me happy with my current schedule. Perhaps in the future it won't be like that.
It’s not related to light, it’s related to over focusing, especially in peripheral vision. Keeping things close to the face keeps things in focus, making the eye thinking it’s over focused, so it grows longer to defocus. It’s called emmetropization and it’s how the eye grows.
> Just the fact that the homepage was minimalist

Sure, the homepage of Altavista was a relic of the 90s. The SERP however wasn’t as radically different. If a minimal homepage is enough to be “category defining” to you, we can just agree to disagree and move on.

> most people don't even create burner emails for every new site, and that's pretty trivial in comparison)

No, creating an email account is not "trivial". Either you have to run your own domain or you need to go through a fairly lengthy process with different email providers. An alternative would be something like Mozilla Relay, but the it is too new and too late to become a feasible alternative for identity management.

An example that I would accept (even though not really "trivial") would be the idea of creating alt accounts on reddit. If you look at those you'd see a lot more people creating separate accounts for different interests, and I could challenge you on the notion of how easy it would be to correlate accounts. Unless you work at reddit, I doubt that you can consistently identify accounts belonging to the same person by analyzing any type of patterns.

The only trivial system currently in use for identity generation is Hierarchical Deterministic wallets. One single passphrase can derive infinite key pairs. To get a new identity you literally press a button.

> All those identities are going to need funding

Nope. It only needs funding if you want to make some transaction on the Blockchain. If all you need is a signature (to login to a website, or decrypt a message or publish a software package on an repository), any crypto wallet can do that for you.

> there will be immutable, perpetual records tying all those identities together.

See point above, it is not true. Moreover, even the data that would make sense to be in a blockchain can be encrypted.

> web3 is about making people pay for every single thing they do.

Careful, your blind prejudice is showing.

Can you do me a favor? Could you stop with the strawmen and try to argue by considering the strongest and most charitable position from all the people that have been working and researching the space? If you have given 5 minutes of thought before barfing up your response, perhaps it would be more useful for both of us.
