You could do this yes. But I think efforts to fights these laws will fail.

The digital markets act is already almost guaranteed to pass in Europe, and once Europe has a law on this, the effects will go global.

Whats Apple going to do? Pull out of all of Europe? Do a failed attempt to segregate the market, by making an unlocked EU phone, and a locked USA one (What happens when people import the phones? Sounds pretty easy to get around...)?

Once the floodgates are open, you aren't going to be able to prevent people from installing whatever app store they want on their own phone.

> that I've seen that target the iOS App Store are bad for me personally.

Fortunately, you'll still have the choice to only install the iOS app store if you want. You just won't be able to prevent other people from installing whatever app store they want on their phone.
Yes, gay male dating culture is also quite bad with its focus on superficialities and appearing normal, as you put it. Talking mostly about lesbian and non-binary/trans culture here.
But why not? Washing every other day takes too much effort. Underwear is small and packs efficiently. I always travel with extra underwear and extra pairs of socks.
Honestly, this sounds like tumblr was crazy dependent on both apple and a porn-like business. That's a weird combo and not one that makes me feel particularly sorry for them. There's a reason facebook, youtube, pinterest and, ultimately, apple don't allow porn. It's a messy business.
I know that, but we are talking 3-4 cars at a time entering the intersection during the moment all the lights are red to make a left turn.
Apple's business is for the most part selling me things. They are not trying to capture all my data in order to drive their product.

FB and Google are using my data to sell to advertisers.

With that said, I'm not a Google hater. For my personal ranking Apple > Google >>>>>>>>>>>>>> FB. And following that model I have Apple devices, use Google, and haven't logged into FB in years.
Unfortunately it seems that catskull has stopped selling them, otherwise I would have loved to play around with my old megadrive again!
Well that doesn’t seem appropriate, but Reddit’s app never struck me as one that was particularly respectful to its users or valuable to its own brand. Are there any others?
I had an experience as a child where I _suspect_ my parents and I may have been taken advantage of by a dentist, and this article makes me think that it's not such an improbable thought. Every single time my parents took me for a 6-monthly cleaning, the dentist found new cavities. I'd have to get at least one new filling after each cleaning, sometimes two. We were told this was pretty common because I had braces and wasn't as diligent as I should have been with flossing. My needle phobia was especially bad at the time and every visit was like a nightmare.

When my last cleaning came around, they of course found another cavity. When I was taken in to get it filled, I panicked in fear of the needle and threw up in the chair. They told my mom we'd have to do the procedure on another day. The dental practice did not know that we were about to move to another country, and wouldn't have time to come back. My mom decided to just wait until after the move.

When I was taken to the dentist after moving about the tooth that was meant to be filled, they had no idea what we were talking about. They didn't see anything on the x-rays and said my teeth were fine.

Ever since then I wondered how many of those filling I even needed.

I'd avoided dentists ever since and didn't see one almost 15 years until a couple of years ago when I had a wisdom tooth that needed to be taken out. I was worried that when they'd take a look at my teeth they'd find all sorts of things wrong after all that time. But aside from the wisdom tooth and a tiny cavity that they said could heal on its own, they said my teeth were fine and I didn't need to do anything else except for being better about flossing (which is when I finally got really diligent about it).

(And for the wisdom tooth extraction I specifically found a clinic that specialized in dental phobia. They let me opt for a "Wand" device to do the anesthesia of the tooth instead of a traditional needle. It looks much less like a needle, and the release of the anesthetic is entirely controlled by the device itself and not by the hand of the dentist [though of course the dentist is still the one configuring it]. That somehow made me feel better about the whole thing, since I knew the device would release anesthetic at a stable and "ideal" rate. I trusted it more than a human.)
It's the other way around right? If you think about performance, you won't need to orchestrate a fleet.
"I think we need truly open hardware and someone with money willing to stand against "status quo" of industry, like Elon Musk did with cars."

I- huh? Open hardware? Elon Musk?

I can only find a vague legalese pledge that doesn't seem to be very attractive for real world use according to many, and I know that Tesla is starting to really enjoy being an Apple-like company with such hits like proprietary chargers.

I'm also seeing no Teslas are listed on the supported page for projects like openpilot.

What we need is general opinion to be against such closed ecosystems run by industrialists with world records for wealth concentration. Not dreams of Captain Save A Pleb.

Anyone have thoughts about the privacy and security aspects of TunnelBear? I've been using them for a few years, wondering if I should switch to Mullvad.
Very likely it's your SSO vendor or IT department to blame for this (and in the latter case, probably due to policies they have to enforce but they aren't allowed to control).
yep yep I have it :)))
You can "pre-initialise" the JavaScript VM so that your JavaScript code starts much faster at the cost of some small ongoing performance penalty.

I think the main use case is "serverless" or "edge compute" where start-up time is often hugely important.
Are you saying because bodybuilder use bloodletting that it's a good solution to blood pressure issues?
An interesting contrast to Alberta where you pretty much have to have a car to get to the mountains for hiking, climbing, skiing, biking, scenic dining...

Public transit in the mountain national parks is limited to daily hostel shuttles and a bus between Banff and Jasper. However I have been able to finagle a ride on a tour bus to Takkakaw Falls and come back a week later.

As for provincial parks and trailheads, forget it.

Back in the '80s, a two lane highway was sufficient. The lack of transit has necessitated an extremely expensive twinning of the Trans Canada highway from Alberta to British Columbia.

The Swiss fares and timetables enable people to get their recreation without having a car and paying gas, registration, maintenance, parking...

That's one good way to limit global warming - brought to you in large part by the car centered North American suburb.
Camera aside - people will do wonders for their video presence by putting some effort into their background and lighting. If you’re not going to use a blur or picture background, clean up the area, consider how it functions as a backdrop (including wash lighting, etc), and what impression it’s making. Lighting is king - be deliberate about it.

I get that live-streaming on twitch is a whole thing, but many streamers would be really happy to get 30, or even 3 viewers, and don't stream anywhere near 30 hours a week. If you have a good home connection with a decent, no-cap upload, there's no need to pay a cloud provider either.
thank you for the clarification dang -- as usual your calls to order and insight here make sense. I will keep striving on that
And here we see that even this discussion is political; a summary rejection of the premise of the article! At the end of the day, we're all people, and a lot of what we are boils down to politics. You can't exist outside of it.
I suspect, just a theory, that qualia are the result of a process that occurs in the brain. So they're not a static symbolic state, they're a feature of the evolution of a dynamic process.

We are aware of our own thoughts through processing a mental model of ourselves, this mental model of ourselves includes introspection on our experiences, while we are having those experiences. That's qualia. A static symbolic state would be the equivalent of a memory of experiencing qualia.
Calling people end users doesn't make it acceptable to waste their time.
The counter-argument people will make, which I'm not sure if I agree with or not, is that regardless of what Apple's customers want, one company having that much power over its own ecosystem is bad for the market as a whole.
Been looking forward to 1.0 for a while. :)
This is such a common trope I have to push back. FB absolutely depends on user growth so you are a customer as well. Advertisers would leave if you left. If you go to tiktok because meta’s products aren’t as good/fun/cool that is a huge problem. It’s possible for companies to have multiple customers, in fact it’s pretty common.
I only take long distance trains for fun. Flying is way more convenient at all other times. Show up 45 minutes before the domestic flight and get there at least 5 times faster.
Money is kind of like that; it's a delusion. The problem is something is always breaking that delusion by printing more of it. But not everything can be printed. If you can't print, the delusion can be pretty hard to break. If the delusion is never broken, it's actually a good thing to use as money.
Or delete Facebook (Meta) and now you have MAGA!
The original post just highlighted the very high cost of imprisoning people relative to other things one might do with the same money. I see no suggestion in it that it ought to be cheaper, though there's perhaps an implicit suggestion that the US might want to reconsider having the highest per-capita prison population on the planet, since it's so expensive.
I was trying to figure out what you mean by trimming. On one end of the spectrum is smooth shaved. On the other end is completely un-managed. Somewhere in the middle is where "trimming" would come into play.

I like this take. A lot of times for an experienced team there are multiple solutions to a problem that will work and you can quickly start with the one that seems to best fit the circumstances... if circumstances change (and you'll notice if you've been doing it a while) then you can often (and with some hard work) transition to a different solution and still hit timeline (or immediately warn of the miss). If they team works together well, this happens quickly, if not seamlessly. If you don't have experience, just figuring out which way to start is a huge effort and changing direction even a larger struggle, and you're almost guaranteed to take longer, with higher risk, or worse product.

What I found making a few hundred sourdough loaves over the last 2 years, is that there is a recipe (or several), and you should follow it... but then unexpected things happen (changing starter/temp/gluten, humidity/hydration, forgot something or want to add something, different size loaf or tools/oven, not enough time, missed alarm) and the skill is in knowing quickly what to do and how to work with it to make things right. Rarely do I make what I consider a perfect loaf, because I don't make 100/day every day... but even though I often make one/two mistakes or changes, recovery is automatic and almost imperceptible in the final product.
If this is the Vitalik I am assuming he is, he is a bit of a celebrity, so he probably has to fly to conferences, talks, etc often.
GBTC is an entity that has proven the existence of it's BTC. You can see it as future BTC where the future date is undetermined, possibly infinite at the moment.

GBTC being low just means that the stock market thinks BTC is going down for the near future. To the point where it is willing to trade GBTC at a discount to it's book value.

We all know GBTC is good on it's BTC holdings. We just don't know when it's regulators will let them sell and act as a fully functioning ETF.
I use grams instead of cm^3 but otherwise I agree. I just don't want to carry heavy things!

I will recommend 1 specific thing that is rarely mentioned which is soap slices, sometimes known as camping soap. They're super portable, light and small. They are perfect for situations while traveling where you just need a little hand wash. It happens more often than you'd think.
But if we are comparing apples to apples, you would just use AWS provided stuff for EKS right?

> K8s can go a lot of different ways depending on the type of LB

k8s flexibility shouldn't be counted against it here. If you are considering k8s against fargate, you should only be considering ALB / NLB ingress and not the many more ways you could. Just use what AWS provides and be happy with it :)

> ECS you just configure a log group and get persistent logging and basic aggregated searching with Cloudwatch Insights

You can log to cloud watch with EKS as well. Fluentd can log to cloudwatch with very little configuration.

I agree that if you are already "all AWS" and just want to put one more thing in there, Fargate might match your existing patterns better. But saying "Fargate is easier than managed kubernetes" is very wrong.

In general I've seen people have an easier time understanding kubernetes manifests for declaring their services instead of the equivalent terraform to get fargate up and running to do the job.

Reading more would be reading problems. Doing practice problems is equivalent to writing and having someone/something point out if it's good or not.
I’ve seen this advice so much over the past month or 2 that I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s being promoted by companies who have figured out how to effectively push their stuff on reddit. Or some contractor who runs Reddit campaigns or something.

I totally agree with you, but it should be noted that not all kinds of asbestos are harmful. One safe type is used today in apartment building with no measurable consequences.
It's really pathetic to see EFF side with the likes of Fb and Zuckerberg. They seem like a one-trick-pony only caring about vintage software licenses, everything else be damned, like compensation for F/OSS developers and artists, innovation, developers sick of giving "cloud providers" tools for mass surveillance and monopolization (and for free), and focusing on open standards as opposed to open-source implementations. They should wake up to the world they themselves and their attitudes and outdated pseudo-socialist dogma have created in the first place, or make place for younger people to care about problems we have today.
I too do it, although occasionally an hickup occurs. Last week, I signed up for something, and their system was unable to send an account activation email at theirCompanyName@myDomain.com I spent about 30 minutes with customer service on chat, and they were like, no, it's impossible to have them@my domain email. If I have, I should send them an email. I did it, sent email, and they were still not believing it.
All fair points. I assumed utility scale solar in the US.
If you think about it, you're probably glad they do this. Consider the damage that a stray "f*ck" could do if you didn't mean to type it and didn't notice that you did. Could even spell a lawsuit I bet in some cases.
Kinda ironic, this comment caught some drive by downvoting, to drag it back down to zero, but you'll notice no one has refuted me or told me why I'm wrong.
Sure, you could spend 3-4 hours driving from Brighton to central London and paying £65 to do it.

It doesn't come close with season tickets, hence the reason so many people chose to commute by train rather than driving. Also why people take the train rather than commuter bus services which tend to be cheaper

> Are you a software engineer? Imagine you demonstrated your new code to the team, it didn’t go well and afterward your manager took you aside and recommended you read Chapter 6 of “Coding for Dummies”?

I've been in that situation more than once, and none of those situations made me want to fire anyone. For example, last fall I was in a project where I implemented some frontend features without considering accessibility. A designer in the project told me what I did wrong, and recommended to me that I should take an "introduction to accessibility on the web" course. I thought it was a good idea. I took the course, I learned a lot of things, wrote down notes, and still refer to those notes every now and then. At no point did I feel like I need to fire someone for recommending I take a course on something that - frankly - I was supposed to know how to do in the first place.

> I’ve been in software engineering for decades and I can tell you a rounding error of 100% of every software engineer I’ve ever worked with would spend the rest of their day looking for alternative employment after that.

Ok, well after this discussion you will hopefully adjust that percentage down a few points from 100%.

> I think maybe the other thing you’re doing is skipping over all the other immature and unprofessional things the OP said he did. Did you read where he created a user story explicitly for the purposes of mocking his manager to the team? There’s a lot to unpack in this train wreck.

No I didn't skip over those. I read OP. But I wasn't commeting on OP here. I was responding to a comment made by kcplate. According to his comment, just the book recommendation alone was sufficient grounds to not renew the contract. That's the comment I was arguing against. Not the totality of OP.
I disagree, I can never get them to feel quite clean enough from the sink, so if I’m away a week, I prefer a new pair every day. Quality of life preferences!
I don't know about the US, but in the EU, aviation only contributes 3% (that is not a typo. Three percent) of the total greenhouse gas emissions (measured just before corona--so there was a shitload of aviation going on).
The major greenhouse gas emitters are electricity production (30% - mostly gas generators!), road transport (20%), industry (20%). Source: European Environment Agency

So I wouldn't worry much about the climate impact of flying.

Maybe in the US. In Europe high speed train tends to be more convenient.

I live in Madrid and I can travel to any major city in the country by train in less than 3 hours. I don't have to show up early. I depart from the city centre. I arrive at the city centre. 500% more convenient and (mostly) cheaper.
That would be an interesting study.

I'm pretty sure daily walks (no heart rate elevation, not HIIT, no muscle being built, etc.) didn't contribute significantly to your mother's weight loss. Moving around is not a significant contributor to weight loss[1]. Diet is the most significant contributing factor to gaining or losing weight. Moving in with someone new, new environment, new dietary changes, etc. might've done significantly more.

Maybe there are security benefits? If every site has both a unique email and PW I figure automated attacks are a bit less likely. Could someone figure my clever email scheme out? Easily.

My thinking is it's like being chased by a bear when out hiking with friends. You don't have to outrun the bear, just one of your friends. I'm probably not willing to achieve perfect security, but if I can be slightly more difficult to figure out than <next person on the list> maybe that helps?

I'm not really a fan of 1 line per sentence as the default, but agree with more breaks. Also know your audience. My default structure is:

- Ask for what I want/why did I sent this email.

- Explanation why using logical breaks.

Which usually means I write my email, take the last line and make it first.

If I'm emailing a technical colleague I'll include more details. CEO, 1 line bullet points.
I don't think so. Us privacy and control freaks abhor subscriptions, the mainstream just shrugs and pays what they're told to pay. I can even see them adopting rental models for a lot of stuff we purchase outright now (the "you will own nothing and you will be happy" great reset promoted by the world economic forum). I think this is pretty exploitative but I'm pretty sure I am in a minority. Obviously big business loves this because they have to do almost nothing and still get guaranteed income.

But to me their arguments sound too much like blackmail "With this model there is incentive for us to make longer-lasting products which is good for the environment". Well, sure but if you actually cared about the environment instead of money you'd be doing that right now. Why do we have to pay them more for less in order for them to do this?

To me this really sounds like a "pay us what we want or we'll mess up this environment of yours even more" extortion scheme.

The older generation is more against it but they tend to not trust tech very much anyway. They're not the ones buying a new phone every year, they use it for many years and even get it fixed when it breaks.
Come on, $5-10 month per user for ad-free, supposedly scanning free, enterprise-level reliable email is a very very reasonable expense. I’m not even a business, or a Google fan, and I’ve paid to have gmail on my own email for what feels like almost a decade now!

Random aside - advanced protection is one of my favorite Google innovations, I really don’t have to worry about my gmail getting taken over and losing access to primary web identity
I tried Mulvad, I love their outlook on privacy. However, maybe this is just my experience but the speed I was getting with Mulvad was slow, for some reason. Much slower than my regular ~200 mbps connection. Had to switch back to Nord (would not recommend it, though) again.
