Dear platform creators for Bluetooth, Please implement a privacy and battery saving measure. Where once I turn off the paired device, such as a car or headphones, the platform automatically turns off the Bluetooth radio. This prevents tracking with-in stores or offices. Saves battery power. And prevents the device from auto-connecting to my car during ignition. Just because I was using Bluetooth before I arrived does not mean I want to use bluetooth once I depart.

I currently manually do this everytime.
Article 101 and 102 from the "EU Antitrust policy" already protects against anti-competitive agreements and abusive behavior from those holding a dominant market position, I don't think that will change.
Side note -- I know a lot of early YC startups like to play things fast and loose, but you really should compensate your engineers for after-hours emergencies if they are already working 40 hour weeks. Morally and employee-retention-wise it's the obvious thing to do, but beyond that in certain states and jurisdictions you can easily run afoul of local labor laws if you try to require employees to do things outside of their regular hours without compensation. Another very important angle to consider is you want to incentivize your employees to answer the call to deal with these issues. If there is no incentive structure in place, they might not take it seriously, which in itself can be a security and stability risk that could threaten things like your SOC-2 compliance, if you have it.

When I worked as a full time DoD scientist, there was a very set-in-place system for dealing with these situations, and it was normal to pay double overtime for any hours spent by an employee on after hours emergencies. This is the right way to do it. Pre-series B startups largely don't do this, but once you get to series B and C suddenly it becomes a thing because companies realize they either have to legally, or have to to prevent their employees from churning and to protect themselves from people not showing up to put out the fire.

Just do it, and do it early. Do it before Series A. That's the advice I give my consulting clients, and the approach I take with my own companies. By compensating your employees for this time you also take what would be a red flag for many would-be employees and turn it into an exciting perk.
It's not just anecdotal evidence, the whole anti-antidepressant hype seems to re-emerge every few years, like a plague.
After trying a few different anti-depressant the vast majority of people do improve.
And the people bashing antidepressants fail to come up with any proven alternatives.

Is there a conspiracy shutting down depression curing alternatives all around the world?
all pretty sound, aside from 'interoperability on instant messenger', which would be incompatible with privacy / security obligations from the providers.

How do you prove it if the performance difference is noticeable but small?

And I don't think any of the big companies is afraid of yet another fine.
The metal versions use the Nitro card, but run all of the virtualization on the Nitro card, so there is no hypervisor running on the machine. VMWare has had ESXi doing similar virtualization with the help of switches for a while too (although I think ESXi still has a tiny hypervisor).
Yes! Screen resolution on new Windows laptops is 150%.

This gave me trouble on my last job, a jira extension didn't work at 150%

(HAHAHAHAHA Jira.. i know)
But it's not exploitation if the participants are willingly choosing the option. The immigrant worker receives a higher pay doing what you call "humiliating labour", than they could in their own country. If this continues, at some point, the wealth of the migrant would increase, and eventually, they will also demand a higher wage.

This will mean that wealth of the wealthier country hiring migrant workers will slowly osmose. This is what seems to be happening in china (where labour is slowly becoming more expensive overtime - not to the point where outsourcing is not worth it, but many companies are looking at south eastern asian countries as a new source of cheap labour).

The only scenario in which this breaks down is when the migrant is defrauded like those in Quatar and Dubai, where they are indeed treated as slaves by having their passport confiscated etc.
Excellent reply. Thank you to provide clear counterpoints that "France nuclear power is cheap". My feeling about out of control costs for nuclear power comes from the audit requirements. Each part must be carefully inspected and its origin must be fully documented. Compared to fossil fuel power plants, the cost must be 10x. As a result, nuclear power becomes unaffordable when considering this important requirement.

Real question: I know nothing about the actual realised cost of China nuclear power plants. So far, their safety record appears quite good. However, I assume their audit requirements for each part are much lower than highly advanced economies.

Lastly, you wrote "everyone else in the Western Hemisphere": Let's be real. If Japan were to ever build a new nuclear power plant the audit plus safety costs would be absolutely insane and unaffordable. I guess Japan will run down all of its plants in the next 25-50 years, then replace everything with renewables (including batteries).
Did the speaker have a source for that claim beyond their own word?

Surely there would be issues with such a scheme.
Actually this is Hetzner’s second attempt offering Arm-based dedicated servers. They launched the AX10 model[1] in 2015[2]. It seems like they started to use the “AX” prefix for the AMD-based line later.

It is OK being on call on your servers and your software.

I think it is also why less and less people having stuff on premise and going for SaaS/Cloud solutions.

If someone wants to have my software on their servers and me not having any access better they have dedicated person for running it and I don't care even if they pay $1000 per hour - I am still not dealing with server I don't know talking on the phone with admin that has no clue how my software should be configured.
People are free to choose something different from Apple, something more open like Google or even more like a Opensource Linux Phone.
But are free to choose something closed like Apple if they want it and better fit needs. After the ACT a closed option such Apple ecosystem cannot exist anymore.
TCEC is forced to choose very imbalanced openings to make sure there are some non-drawn games. From starting position it'd be 100 draws out of 100 (also all very similar o each other)

> it's hard not to occasionally get angry when people keep talking about life-or-death issues as if they're some sort of abstract galaxy brain

I think that's the only way we can talk about life and death issues when we disagree. Of all the death I've been close to in my life, let's pick my father who died at least partly as a result of years of incompetent medical care in my hometown that wasn't uncovered until he landed in an ER in a different city. Does that give me the right get to angry and shut down conversations about medical care if people say something I disagree with?

I think there are a lot of people who would answer "yes," because they assume that a personal emotional connection to an issue, grounded in experience, always pushes people towards the truth. They love the rule that if somebody present has been personally affected by an issue, then they should get angry, and everybody else present should shut up and accept whatever they have to say. But they believe that because of the bubble they live in. On the rare occasions I get outside my bubble, I find that people's personal experiences most often deepen their commitment to whatever they already believed, even if it's something I think is wrong. For example, I met a conservative Christian who blamed permissive liberal culture for their gay brother suffering from drug addition and periodic homelessness (instead of thinking that maybe growing up gay in a conservative Christian household had something to do with it.) And of course you meet the people who consider themselves authorities on global warming because they grew up on a farm and remember how their family suffered during drought years. You don't know shit about the weather unless you've lived through that!

In truth both sides of the political divide in America tend to think that the other side must be emotionally disconnected and inauthentic, and emotional growth would naturally lead them to the truth. Growing up in a small town, I was frequently told that the reason I didn't believe in God was that I wasn't emotionally open to him. I was repressed and disconnected, too cerebral, and that's why I didn't feel His love. Most conservatives think that one reason liberals are able to believe such crazy things is that they derive their emotional sustenance from ideology instead of authentic connection with their neighbors and their community. Most liberals think the same thing about conservatives. Everyone thinks that their side's views are more grounded in authentic experience.

There is also a minority of people who value intellect over emotion, and those people believe the opposite: that their side is more rational and fact-driven, the other side is blindly emotional, and their side would triumph if emotion were excluded from discourse. That's not what I'm saying. I'm only saying that a personal connection to an issue shouldn't be treated as a trump card that can shut down a conversation.

I agree that companies must have the legal right to provide potential customers with information about their products.

But essentially every advertisement I’ve ever seen is so far removed from “providing information” that characterizing them as such is a joke.

What they provide is a made up story of how good your life will be with this product (it bad it will be without it). That isn’t providing information, it’s manipulating people.
You already can have a phone running GNU/Linux (Librem 5 or Pinephone) though.
I think the main problem is exactly as the article states - there no standard for how things connect to each other. If they could just make the connection standard everywhere, that would get rid of a ton of the silliness.
What do you mean skip the first move? Like play a neutral move? Why would such a move exist?
The thick, heavily reinforced roads with stabilized foundations generally have much nicer surfaces to cycle on than narrow cycle paths though, at least around here. Probably because a lot of the deterioration is caused by weather rather than traffic and the cost reduction is mostly through having lower standards and accepting more deterioration.
My cars are all older, but my Android pairs up with a Kia Sportage almost immediately after starting the car. My wife's iPhone 11 sometimes takes several minutes. She ended up getting an adapter to connect audio to the 3.5mm jack.
Chess' centre of gravity is increasingly online centred now. Carlson himself has a lot to do with it. So do other charismatic super GMs like Nakamura.

A light hearted, unplanned and unadvertised naka-carlsen bullet match can attract a lot of viewers. They both stream, and lots of other chess streamers will switch to watching and doing commentary when these matches happen.

They'll play silly openings like the double bong cloud and have fun.

Carlson's into this new egaming vibe. He's good at it, and it's good for chess. Meanwhile, high-level classical is brutal. The level is so high that the game is hard to follow. It takes forever and is draining. Most games end in a draw.

I feel like Fide should focus more on rapid, and get more involved in the online scene. Maybe this is the opportunity.

I suspect the most anticipated, spectator matches of the future will be rapid matches and alt formats like team tournies (go Norway gnomes). They're just more fun for everyone but your cranky old chess instructor, and even she loves it in secret.

This approach assumes a moral equivalence to all gun violence. I believe people tend to assign a significantly higher negative moral weight to the murder of children in general, and children at school in particular. You may disagree with that weighting, but it’s an entirely consistent and valid model.
Fascinating character. I ended up reading the whole Wikipedia article [1] because of your comment.

Sounds like he was very skilled and continuously getting better -- which is of course impressive. At the same time, his overall life story turns out to be tragic. Two choice quotes from the article really jumped out for me:

> Ungar told ESPN TV... that the 1980 WSOP was the first time he had ever played a Texas hold'em tournament. Poker legend Doyle Brunson remarked that it was the first time he had seen a player improve as the tournament went on.

> Ungar is regarded by many poker analysts and insiders as one of the greatest pure-talent players ever to play the game. But on the topic of his life, Stu’s long term friend Mike Sexton said “In the game of life, Stu Ungar was a loser.”

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stu_Ungar
I don't know the exact quote but it goes something like - there is no human issue that is not a political one.
> Shouldn't their support care about the customer's personal info being shared with you?

I agree. The company is pretty large and has a support team. I'm guessing here but I think I'm a challenge for them because I'm not a client. They don't have a defined process for how to field my question.

> show up there looking for MyName and tell him/her about all the info you have on them...

The events are in another state (I'm in US), I'm not going to travel to chat up the individual. I have looked through the info to see if there's a way to contact them directly, its not a straightforward path. Thanks for your suggestion.
The answers here focus a lot on improving collaboration. Almost all challenges in running a company come to this and there definitely is a lot you can do there. But it's hard and few companies pull this of and no one really wants to admit it. You usually get vague suggestions like "better communication" or "work less in isolation"

I've taken a different approach and I have become extremely conservative in extracting out responsibilities in a dedicated role.

I no longer try to build teams with the design role externalized in someone else, I just focus on finding developers who are also good designers. This is hard but I'd rather fight this battle than the collaboration one

If there truly is a 10x designer that wants to work with me then it's worth it, otherwise it's synergy of having one person be able to fully ship on their own outweighs the overhead of collaboration
While this is certainly a problem, I don't accept it as an argument for why we all have to be locked in the walled garden. Just add a system setting that controls the walls. Let people disable it if they want, and tell your mother-and-law to never ever disable it no matter what. If you're worried that they'll be tricked into disabling it, then they probably should not be in control of a bank account or anything else serious anyway.

Anyway, this isn't really relevant to this regulation. People already get scammed on iPhones all the time. It's silly to think that anybody would be more vulnerable as a result of the DMA.
Beyond some of the autoplay issues - which are software based and not the protocols problem - I haven't had any truly major issues with Bluetooth since 4.1

Honestly since 4.1 it has been overwhelmingly a positive experience. Yes I need to manually click the bluetooth icon in my toolbar on my mac every once in a while to re-establish a connection but that is the extent to which I have troubles.
>I glanced at Wikipedia earlier to learn about the California project and they claim that despite costing x2 or x3 what similar European and Chinese efforts cost

This is based on an outdated cost estimate that's roughly 2x lower than the current projected cost. From Wikipedia:

>In July 2014, The World Bank reported that the per kilometer cost of California's high-speed rail system was $56 million, more than double the average cost of $17–21 million per km of high speed rail in China and more than the $25–39 million per km average for similar projects in Europe at the time.

That was in 2014. Costs have ballooned 2x to $125M/km; this has not happened in Europe or China.

>the cost of land and 3 mountain ranges being in the way

If you want to control for mountain ranges, consider the Suseo–Pyeongtaek branch of Korea's high speed rail network, opened in 2016. It's a 38 mile line, 31 of which are in a 50 meter deep tunnel. It cost ₩4.18T (approximately $3.2B), which comes out to ~$85M per mile. Again, 80% of the line is in a 50 meter deep tunnel.

That's still less than half the cost per mile of California HSR, which will not be 80% underground. There is simply no excuse for the inflated costs of CHSR.

>It also mentions that it's costing less per mile than HS2 in London. So if this is extravagant waste, it's not that extravagant.

HS2 is notorious for being a boondoggle with massive cost overruns. Not exactly a flattering thing to compare to.
If implemented properly and adjusted for mileage, this would have interesting impacts on both the cost of EVs as well as the cost of liquid fuels.

EVs tend to be heavier, so they'd pay more on average.

OTOH, fuel transport trucks are very heavy and fully taxing based on the square of fully loaded weight would increase transport costs significantly. This would end up getting passed on to ICE vehicle users.

This solution works, IMO.
I agree with what you said about the Internet Archive and similar initiatives, hopefully they will do a reasonably good job at retaining important information in the future.

> Also, the games that my parents once played are unplayable now.

I don't understand this point, in my experience pretty much every game from the 70/80/90's is still playable with some kind of emulator, but many games from around 10-15 years ago are no longer playable because the servers went offline.
Why is it unavailable?

You can easily outbid the miners, since your idea is so much more superior. You might make billions.

Mister Martin: Another great post! Thank you to raise the idea of change. When I talk with people from developing countries, they frequently despair about the state of their environment, including air, soil, and water pollution. I tell them that Japan, UK, Germany, and the United States was a dirty mess in the 1960s and 1970s. Then, all of them awoke to environmentalism. Today, these are some of the cleanest countries in the world. In particular, Japan and German are still major industrial power houses (steel, chemical, manuf, etc.). Their air, soil, and water pollution declined dramatically in the last 50 years. Yes, sadly, some of this pollution has been exported to poor(er), developing countries. However, a lot of industry remains onshore and people and companies are fully committed to a clean environment. Really, I cannot stress enough how large are chemical companies in Japan. When you fly into Haneda (Tokyo) Airport, it seems like a 50km continuous line of chemical plants on the waterfront in Kanagawa-ken! The environment regulations are incredibly strict. Places that were an environmental disaster 50 years ago are now a "factory neighborhood", but no longer a polluted mess. Recovery and change is possible!

For other readers, I assume "TMI" means "Three Mile Island" nuclear accident. You can read more about it on Wikipedia.
Correct move at the wrong time.
Possibly stupid question from someone who is traditionally not webdev but has started trying to build small tools. I think sunmao is something I can think about using to quickly put together a frontend for things I'm building with FastAPI? Is that what this is?
Can we just skip the inefficient electric market phase all together? It's not gonna last and its not any cleaner than fossil fuels so stop kidding yourselves... The military already uses nuclear power for their ships why not the cargo ships?
I'm very interested to see how this will affect closed gaming platforms like Nintendo, Sony, etc.

Personally I'd love to be able to install an itch.io app on my switch and play some silly indies.
For sure. I've read some really interesting stuff under the "medicalization of deviance" label. A classic example being how homosexuality was treated as a psychological illness because the dominant group saw it as a societal offense.
Taxing negative externalities works to reduce those externalities even without mitigation though. I’d much rather have a government that taxes things we want less of than things we want more of. The status quo is income tax, which is far worse than any Pigovian tax.
I don't think a comparison with murder rates is valid. The "whistle" is much more likely to be blown for a murder, as there is a corpse or a missing person. Additionally, those committing financial crimes are mostly people with some combination of wealth and clout, better allowing them to fight the accusation and investigation, and there is the revolving door effect between the regulators and those they are supposed to regulate.

Plus, why would that comparison be useful? Everyone is capable of murder, not everyone is even in a position where they could attempt to commit the types of crimes that get announced via the whistleblower program. So if we were to compare, it would have to be some kind of per capita comparison, where the population for financial crimes is members of the financial industry. In which case the numbers start to look more damning.
I agree. Although I'm using the term DAW it's really a loop arranger pulling from the server.
I had a Mercedes lease for three years with the same problem of automatically playing the first song as sorted alphabetically. In my case, it was "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash. That song loses its humor after you hear it a few hundred times.

Anyone know why qemu is so slow vs. the others?

The article discusses differences in floating point handling and GPU passthrough, but I don't think the 7z benchmark uses either of those.
