I always see comments like this and they're so confusing. They just kind of assume that nobody has thought about these questions. Did you even check if they were addressed? If not, why are you asserting that these questioned are opened? For one, it's not about devices, it's about digital market platforms. That's why it's called the digital markets act.

Let's see what we get when we google this? Here's one: https://www.akingump.com/en/news-insights/digital-markets-ac...

Core platform services include:

online intermediation services.
online search engines.
online social networking services.
video-sharing platform services.
number-independent interpersonal communications services.
operating systems.
web browsers.
virtual assistants.
cloud computing services.
online advertising services, including advertising intermediation services.

> The compromise text clarifies that the definition of core platform services should be technology neutral and should be understood to encompass those provided on or through various means or devices, such as connected TV or embedded digital services in vehicles.

> “Gatekeeper”, in turn, refers to an undertaking providing core platform services that meets the following qualitative and quantitative criteria, set out in Article 3:

> First, it must have a significant impact on the EU internal market. An undertaking is presumed to satisfy this requirement where (a) it either has achieved an annual EU turnover equal to or above EUR 7.5 billion in each of the last three financial years, or where its average market capitalization or its equivalent fair market value amounted to at least EUR 75 billion in the last financial year, and (b) it provides the same core platform service in at least three Member States.

> Second, it must provide a core platform service which is an important gateway for business users to reach end users. This requirement is presumed to be met where the undertaking provides a core platform service that had on average at least 45 million monthly active end users established or located in the EU and at least 10,000 yearly active business users established in the EU in the last financial year.2 Users are to be identified and calculated in accordance with a methodology set out in an Annex to the DMA.

> Third, it must enjoy an entrenched and durable position in its operations. This requirement is presumed to be met where the threshold points in the paragraph above were met in each of the previous three financial years.

I can appreciate that point of view. It's really a matter of what you're receptive to at any given moment.

Keep in mind, however, that Tarkovsky and other innovative filmmakers from the Iron Curtain era literally risked their career every time they made a film. They had something to say and took great pains to do it. It just goes to show that there's really no excuse for the film industry to release so much slop when they got unimaginable resources at their disposal.
> If you split functionality out of one service, you end up with the old service's name implying it does both.

If you change what a class does you need to change the name, if you change what a method does you need to change the name, same for services. If it's too hard to change service names, that's your problem.

> When you make a rewrite...

Internal changes in a service must be transparent to consumers. If consumers are aware that you are doing internal work then you are doing something wrong.

I love that you used that quote.

As you so elegantly put it.

“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”

–John A. Shedd (But made famous by Adm. Grace Hopper)
It is a conspiracy story that tells itself. There is good and bad.

However, I think the demise of streetcars needs to be seen in the light of the demise of trams in the UK. We got rid of trams in the UK but General Motors were not to blame. However, the costs of rails in the road instead of rubber wheels and then diesel sealed the deal. The trams went to trolleybus services and they became bus services, that were not necessarily as frequent but had route flexibility that the trams and trolleybus never had.

People overwhelmingly chose the car over the tram in the UK, regardless of lobbying, people worked out that they wanted a car. The outcome was inevitable.

But would the outcome have been inevitable in the US where towns developed along streetcar routes? Would American towns have kept the streetcars where British cities, with wiggly roads, would opt for the trolleybus?

The conspiracy never gave us a chance to find out.

> But Facebook, Microsoft, and Google will start iOS app stores and app developers will go to their app stores because of network effects.

They might try, but it would be a lot harder than you imagine.
There is likely never going to be an approach that yields 0 vulnerabilities, so instead we should be more focused on minimizing the risk as much as possible. There is a middle ground and nuance between never update and always update, just as there is a nuance in how much and what you duck tape together.

Not sure if it's the best, but my current approach is to target major revisions/versions with ABI/API compatibility as viable candidates, and update always, but at a lagged rate, ideally allowing enough time to pass for vulnerabilities to be surfaced in those versions. Log4j is a tough case due to how far back it goes version-wise, but you simply can't win them all.

Another important way to minimize risk is to have a strong ability to provide a corrective action. If replacing the version or the entire dependency of a library you use takes a significant engineering effort, then you are arguably at a higher risk due to that than you are in your decision to never vs. always update.
It’s hard to convince people who have made up their own mind. I’ve posted links here before. It’s a complicated matter, but there is material that addresses this. Just search “compost greenhouse emissions”.

And note that my statement also included restoring native plants. We cannot survive on agriculture without pollinators, and given that forest cover has been reduced from around 70% to 20% in less than a century, it’s not hard to believe. Just look around you and notice the expanse of lawns around you. Lawns do almost nothing. They don’t support wildlife, pollinators, and they don’t capture carbon.

And like I said, this is something people can do now. People can’t magically start driving electric cars fueled by green energy or start driving substantially less or rework city and nation transportation infrastructure. It’s actually debatable how much electric cars will reduce emissions. I think it’s not much. Same for so-called green energy.

The benefits of composting and retiring native plants are undeniable.
Agreed. I feel like there are significantly different "on call" expectations being discussed in the comments for this post.
There is a great book that the main author of Chinook wrote about this. It's called One Jump Ahead[0] and it is a great combination of technical info about the development of Chinook as well as a kind of mini-history of competitive checkers. Strongly recommend!

Exclusionary zoning exists because of NIMBYism. NIMBYism exists because of the financial incentive to raise land values. That financial incentive exists because of a lack of taxation on land value.
Seems like it's adding choice, once there was only junk, now there's some healthier options.

Even if it removed the junk in favor of health food it's still the same amount of choice, now it's just the people who want junk that have to source it elsewhere instead of the people who want healthier options.

That's the world we live in now.
I am fascinated with learning about the process of deciding what topics are on the approved list for the discussion. Short 6 months ago, this is not something that people would be encouraged to discuss publicly. I am getting the sense that everybody is going by the main stream media rules. But how does the main stream media itself decide what is allowed at any given time? Does somebody actually calls around all the editors or is there some sort of social norm propagation because everybody knows everybody? Does anybody have insights into the actual process?

I worked on Objects at Nutanix for the last ~12 months. Nutanix had originally used the API server in MinIO to translate between the S3 REST API and internal RPCs. MinIO's claim on this blog post that "Nutanix Objects is built around MinIO object storage" is a gross exaggeration.

By the time I joined in June 2021, MinIO was deprecated and we were using an in-house S3 REST API server. I am skeptical that any of the APGL code was distributed because we just weren't using it around the time that MinIO changed from Apache to AGPL.
I am so confused about this. The linked Lancet study seems to make the opposite claim, as far as I can tell. Furthermore, the Lancet study seems to be specifically focused on COVID vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19, whereas the quote makes it sound like the study showed a general decrease in immune function among the vaccinated.

Am I missing something here, or is Kenji Yamamoto's paper completely fraudulent?
The biggest problem (IMO) is that it's not so simple to value land. Where I live, being two blocks over can make a huge difference. It's easy to say "you paid $500k for your house, so we're gonna tax you on $500k". It's much harder to accurately say what someone would have paid for the land were it not developed. I understand the benefits of LVT, but how do you solve this? Are there any good examples of governments that use LVT in practice [1]? What do they do?

[1] In practice and as a primary means of property taxation. For example, proponents of wealth taxes talk about Switzerland, but the percentage of wealth that gets taxed there is quite small and nowhere near what proposals for wealth taxes in the US are aiming for. In other words, what's a good country to look at to see LVT used effectively?

Property Taxes aren't terrible for old people. How the mille-rate is set is terrible for old people.

A fixed mille-rate results in taxes going up as value goes up. This might be difficult to plan for and manage. However, many cities will simply put a lien on the property and collect when the property is sold/transferred/person dies.

However, this isn't necessarily how things need to be done. In New Zealand, the mille-rate is set to clear the budget. That way, the mille-rate changes with the city's budget, not valuations.

If the city wants to do more, they put it into the budget and say "do you want to pay for it?". Then the mille-rate is changed and everyone's taxes change.

If your house changes value, your taxes don't change! Unless your neighborhood changes its relative valuation, then it might go up or down.
1 & 4 go together very well.
The biggest mistake I have witnessed, is a person putting work into a design until they thought it was "perfect/finished/happy with it" & were ready to show off.

They're going in expecting people to tell them how good their UX is, even if they won't admit it. As soon as someone struggles with it, you can see the original designer getting defensive or suggesting to the person testing to try it the way the designer intended.

I think a tool like Microsoft Excel is a great thought process for UX. I'm not saying it's perfect. But you have a product with such a wide audience experience range. You want it to be simple enough to get started with no experience & think of yourself as proficient enough to throw on your resume. Yet you also want advanced users to be able to improve their productivity with slightly hidden UX.
Kudos for the Zig and V examples (or rather example skeletons), how very un-Microsoft-like to venture into such bleeding edge territory ;)

(the actually great thing is that the engine exposes a plain C API: https://github.com/StereoKit/StereoKit/blob/master/StereoKit...)

PS: double-kudos for making the API C99 designated-init-friendly, at least as far I can see from skimming over the source (e.g. "zero means default": https://github.com/StereoKit/StereoKit/blob/1bf86b281e883041...)
They can however prescribe basically harmless pills that do more or less nothing. Low dose vitamin pills are sometimes used for this purpose.

Whether or not it's ethical for a doctor to tell a depression patient that the depression is caused by a treatable vitamin deficiency is another matter. Then again, maybe it really is caused by a lack of micronutients. After all we really don't understand depression very well.

I like codenames that have some sort of a association with the thing being named, like “igor” for the service that retrieves something, or “hoard” for the service that stores something, or whatever. Because the association helps you remember, but it’s also is loose enough to allow for things to evolve and responsibilities to be split in the future.
Sorry if it wasn't clear, that was actually my point - on Android even though banks have the ability to handle NFC payments within their own apps, the vast majority still support Google Pay and don't force you to use their app.
Actually one of the reasons Tesla got started. Elon has often mentioned the EV1 “death marches” as having convinced him that electric cars can be a superior product that customers will love.
Historically this is true, but it also seems dangerous to load up these algorithms with pure history because they'll essentially codify and perpetuate historical problems.
LA was not a product of a "pre-car culture", quite the opposite. In fact everything about "car culture" could rightly be considered in colonialist framing: immediately after arriving as a common mode of transportation, they shut off streets to anyone else except cars, using up the resources that the people already there had painstakingly refined for their needs and criminalizing their built-up patterns of behavior (jaywalking). LA was the product of an intense need for justification of cars-as-way-of-life by designing a city to be bad for everything except cars. And it worked!
Well, it's a problem for the ideology.
This is a problem with generative models across the board. It's important that we don't skew our perceptions by GAN outputs as a society, so it's definitely good that we're thinking about it. I just wish that we had a solution that solved across the class of problems "Generative AI feeds into itself and society (which is in a way, a generative AI), creating a positive feedback loop that eventually leads to a cultural freeze"

It's way bigger than just this narrow race issue the current zeitgeist is concerned about.

But I agree, maybe I should skew to being optimistic that at least we're trying
The performance was good (TeamViewer was still slightly better imho) I just took issue with the commercial detection problems and then having to go to a webpage to beg for them to unban you.

I agree given the two options I’d choose and recommend AnyDesk first.

Over a 50/50 commercial wireless link RDP over wireguard was best for most users that I had test. AD/TV a close second and VNC was so perceptually laggy that it was a no go from the start.
Stick wires in anybody's reproductive organ and I'll bet they'll sing for you.

Hook a few more of these up to a language model input, see if you can get a big enough mycelium to speak. Probably get stuff that reads like "golden shower" fetish porn.
I will write “clever” code to put constraints on the code. Clever code is hard to change and read, which is sometimes what you actually want. Sometimes you actually want anyone who wants to change a bit of complex logic to fully understand what they are changing before making that change. IOW, the cleverness is there for a reason.
Property taxes are unconstitutional and immoral. They are an implicit nationalization of all property because there is no way to own property unencumbered. Implicitly the govt owns all the land and charges you rent. The level, high or low, is irrelevant to the principle.
As an European, I dread this. Americans are not the best negotiators and some even seem to be OK with being overcharged, raising prices of all sorts up. At the same time, I myself am planning to move to Asia because it's getting expensive here. Good luck.

I disagree. It's not "inefficient" since the laptop is not meant for sustained heavy loads. That's a trade-off, not a gimp.

Want heavy loads, get the thicker and heavier one with active cooling.
Don't care about heavy loads, great have this one that is skinnier and lighter.

I would def need more info before attempting to use this.

Also, I don't have an iPhone--and there isn't a web app. I know that's common, but I personally hate things that only operate via mobile app. I think web apps should be primary for most tasks, and mobile apps second. But that's probably an idiosyncratic gripe of mine that you can safely ignore.

I agree, the trust is broken now.
Im going to skip on any AI that pulls that crap.
Eh, sometimes you aren’t ‘looking ahead’ that many moves, just that you can calculate the number of moves from a known-winning position.

This is why chess programs usually say “mate in 24” but humans would more likely just be looking a few moves ahead to get in a ‘winning position’ which they know is an eventual checkmate.

I’m not good at chess, and don’t calculate more than 5 moves ahead, but have ‘spotted’ a mate 20 moves ahead just because you recognise that a certain position is winning even if you don’t know every single possible move and response.
The Andrew Huberman podcast has a great episode on the dynamics of ADHD. The brain does not properly distribute dopamine to where it wants to send it, which challenges your planning/reward matrices.
If you (as a person) can tolerate cooler temperatures well, you can already do this to some extent using the house itself as a thermal battery.

Run your A/C overnight when power is cheaper and the air conditioner is more efficient (and rolling blackouts are less likely...). Cool your house to say 4-8F cooler than you'd normally keep it (close off some vents in your bedroom if you need to, though personally I prefer sleeping in the cold). If your house is well insulated you may be able to make it through a significant portion of the next day without the air conditioner needing to cut in again.

In the grand scheme of things wood doesn't have a lot of thermal mass, but if there's a lot of it it still adds up. Even as the air begins to warm, the floor and walls still feel noticeably cooler.
"So long as it can have some impact" is exactly what's wrong about the current situation.

What we need is a plan that solves the problem.

The current situation is like committing to go to the moon and then deciding to go to New Jersey instead because you can and not even find out how far away the moon is. It gets you nowhere and it feeds the concern people have that the cost of the mitigation is going to be infinite, that it's never really going to be done, that it is a smokescreen for something else, etc.
> The EU probably can't break up Google or Apple

The default remedy isn't break up, it's 10% of the total worldwide turnover (20% for repeat offenders). The EU can very much fine Google or Apple (and already did so).

If break-up is not possible, retricting or prohibiting access to the EU market is quite possible.

Edit: also, on my dealings with Google, I am contracting with Google Ireland Limited, a company that the EU can break up.
After reading that Wikipedia article I'm reminded of a episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent that was almost certainly inspired by Ungar's life: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0799186/ . The character appears in two episodes, although the second one isn't that great.
> The point is that ICE cars and electric cars are comparable in weight.

My point is that this just isn't true in the general sense. I didn't choose the Civic because its an "ultra light sporty car" I chose it because it's in a very similar class of car to the model 3 and moves a lot of units, but you could look at the Camry, Corolla, Accord, or Altima and see that the heaviest trims of all 5 (including hybrids) all weigh less than the lightest model 3 currently available.

Those 5 cars cover every sedan on the top 25 sales list other than the Model 3. I'm sure there are tons of luxury sedans that weigh more than the Model 3, but their total number of units is much smaller than any of the 6 cars we're talking about and their TCO is massively higher as well. So if you weigh the average comparable vehicle on the road the Model 3 will weigh more, and the Model 3 is one of the lightest 250+ mile EVs! the Polestar 2 weighs 4400 lbs!

FWIW I agree that the tire pollution thing is a silly aspect to focus on when comparing EVs and ICE, especially considering a lot of people who believe the lie that it makes EVs worse overall are probably driving a mall crawler or bro-dozer that weighs 5000+ lbs.

We picked a price that opens up the addressable market beyond late stage and public companies.

As startups, you have an unfair advantage — it’s much easier to build good carbon habits early, vs. retooling your business after having already invested large amounts of capital in carbon-intensive practices and depreciating assets.

We do offer enterprise pricing for API access for larger customers.
That is a good thing. Crunch time is due to poor project planning. Limits on employee abuse can lead to needed productivity innovation. Another thing that could help is if customers would stop buying AAA games that push graphical limits to unnecessary extremes. Nintendo has demonstrated what you can accomplish through good game design and less reliance on extreme graphics.
