At the end of a glacial period the temperature changes rapidly e.g. it took 100 years for the land ice to retreat from the Eifel range in Germany (at 50°N) to above Oslo in Norway (at 62°N), a distance of 1200 km at the end of the younger Dryas some 12.000 years ago:

There are plenty of non-Apple alternatives to the MBP. Plenty of laptops with a 6800U or 6800H. None of them have better trackpads, but plenty have nice ones and significantly better keyboards. And some have OLED or 240Hz screens which I'd say are better than the ones in the MacBook Pro. Any laptop with that processor and a reasonable 65Wh+ battery is going to have great battery life.

Some even have great graphics cards, or touchscreens with pen support, or mechanical keyboards, etc... ASUS even makes a few laptops in this category (some of them are branded as gaming laptops but really do everything you want).

The issue with PC laptops isn't that there is no competition for the MBP. It's just that it's very confusing and that there are literally hundreds of options and only 5-6 models that will do what you want.

> The idea that Uber drivers are "independent contractors" was always a tissue-thin fiction

The truth is the opposite: the idea that they are employees is a tissue-thin fiction. They supply their own equipment, set their own hours, and can drive for multiple companies. Though some individual states have tried to adopt different rules, they absolutely meet the IRS' federal definition of contractors.

This too makes it hard to take the author seriously.
First, it’s China’s policy that US claims to adhere to.

Second - yeah, your point being?

Third - yes, it is a democratic nation, and the prevalent majority of that democratic nation wants to keep things as they are, as evidenced by polls[1]. This nation doesn’t want war. Compare this with the standard modus operandi of US. Sometimes they are the good guys, sometime they kill a million people in Middle East, but it’s always about a war somewhere far away from US.

I live in the UK and travel regularly in Europe. I've very rarely Googled a phone number. The only times I can think of is when I've had an unknown number call me and I want to try to figure out who it was. (Of course, doing it the reverse way, Googling an org's name to find their phone number, is common).

I'm suddenly curious as to why anyone would search for phone numbers regularly.

Regarding pets: I decided to give a cheaper Eufy RoboVac model a try a couple years ago to help keep things under control with a dog in the house. The maintenance on it to remove entangled dog hair was just too much in the end. Sure, manual vacuums have a similar problem but seem easier to maintain. The RoboVac had no computer vision (local or cloud) to help with obstacles, but that wasn't really as much as an issue as mechanical failures.

Also, my dog wanted to kill it.

> Never going to happen unless regulators do something about Qualcomm's monopoly. Apple is pretty much the only company with the resources to fight them, yet they still can't get away from Qualcomm parts even in their latest iPhones.

The regulators would be hard-pressed as they have nothing to regulate. Qualcomm doesn't have a monopoly on the ARM ISA. Samsung, Mediatek, Fujitsu, Intel, Nvidia, AMD, etc. all have licenses. Even Microsoft and Google have designed their own ARM processors.

Qualcomm has nothing to do with ARM aside from being a licensee itself. Apple's contentions with Qualcomm center on, inter alia Qualcomm's already awarded patents on cellular modems and the licensing fees it charges Apple.

> If it wasn't for Qualcomm, I think powerful ARM workstations would've arrived much, much sooner (among other innovations). But of course, monopolies are an enemy of innovation.

Intel already tried with StrongARM/XScale to little noteworthy success. Nvidia has achieved limited success with Tegra, but mainly in automotive dashboards and their Shield boxes. All of this is the free market at work. Qualcomm isn't necessary for ARM laptops to fail and his historically had little to do with it.
Or possibly he is just passionate about a project that he believes in, just like others in the larger Presto / Trino community. Personally, I think both Ahana and Starburst have interesting takes on how to monetize the original Presto platform. And like many, many other data projects, there is room in the market for different platforms. Long gone are the days where everyone was just stuck with a single RDMBS to do everything!
I'm also really interested in hearing more about processes that people have been maintaining or making subtle improvements on over a long period of time.

I think that there's an issue of people being less likely to talk about their long running projects or processes because over time they forget the what and why behind it and/or their enthusiasm for it fades away. Accordingly, maybe we should pre-register our thoughts about a process or project at the outset and not publish it until later on, when we can retrospectively talk about our success with it.

> No, neither I nor the parent were talking about "legality" just sovereignty

moving the goalpost much?

I specifically talked about "sovereign countries recognized by the UN"

So yeah, I introduced it, because it's the only thing that matters.

Nobody cares about sovereignty outside of legal borders and international recognition.

Are Catalans sovereign in Catalonia?

Nobody cares unless they can get international recognition.

Are Lombard sovereign in Lombardy?

Who cares?

Nobody, unless they can obtain the recognition of the UN.

I'm sovereign in my bedroom, too bad nobody cares.

Anyway you wrote "Taiwan is a sovereign country by definition", no, it's not.

It's a disputed territory, the matter is very complex, there are strong opposing interests of various natures conflicting over it, for a part of the World there are humanitarian reasons to support their claims, but technically it's still part of China (PRC), the one the international authorities recognize.

Why is there the US army to defend them against a Chinese take over, if there is no way to enforce anything internationally?

Also, go and read about the 2021 referendums

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on the island of Taiwan has been criticized for selling the interests of the people of Taiwan out in exchange for US support of its secessionist political pursuit

[...]

Taiwan residents have expressed great concern over the import of pork containing ractopamine, an additive banned by many countries, as this issue impacts the health interests of every Taiwan resident, Zhu said.

Thousands of people flooded Taipei's streets in late November for a protest march, with much of the anger focused on the DDP authorities' decision to ease restrictions on imports of US pork.

The DPP authority has allowed the import of thousands of tons of ractopamine-contaminated US port since January 1, according to media reports.

This is enough to expose the fact that the DPP has ignored the interests of the people on the island, and is aimed at currying favor with certain political and economic forces in the US

What do you think would happen if at the next elections a President pro reunification with mainland prevails?

So their sovereignty is still not "by definition" in any sense.

No matter what side you are on.

> There is no world government, after all

There is, however.

The fact that you don't recognize it, it's irrelevant.

If tomorrow New Yorkers declare themselves sovereign over the NY territory, do you think the US government will let them print money and elect a president?

Enlighten me on why not, please.

> No, neither I nor the parent

the parent wrote

"Imagine if Apple told Ukraine employees to label Russia on their badges"

and I explained why it would be different.

Made in Ukraine it's a thing, because Ukraine is recognized as sovereign Nation, while Russia is another country, currently trying to occupy Ukraine by force.

Made in Taiwan no, not legally, it's like made in Palestine, made in Catalonia, made in Sicily or made in Calgary.

If it's made in Taiwan, it's made in China, if it's made in Ukraine it's not Russian (at least for now)
You can test the response to a signal that way, but testing whether it was sent when it should have been can get arbitrarily hairy. I've worked places where we had to do things like rig up relays to push physical buttons (or in one case physically pull a cable) to do this level of testing. An adjacent team (in 1994!) had an actual robot that would rove over the a disk-controller circuit board delivering small electric shocks to get the same kind of test coverage on the other end of the SCSI bus. When your code has to deal with devices, which can misbehave in arbitrary ways from the voltage levels on single electrical pulses up to complex protocol violations, simulating purely-software behaviors doesn't cut it. Maybe preach about the cost/benefit ratio of different kinds of testing after you've had to literally build the tests out in the physical world.
I don't disagree, but it doesn't only have to go in this one direction. One of the most interesting things about Rust for example is how it tackles experimental implementations and has concepts in the compiler etc. that make unstable language features "first class". I'd say this will definitely yield better results than "well a couple of guys hacked around on some prototype forks of a compiler, and now we're stuck with the result".

Of course, they also make very impressive backwards compatibility guarantees for stable stuff (cf. Rust's "editions").
This is the true and underappreciated answer.

People do not trust technology and technology companies.

That's exactly the right solution to the issue. As it stands, any client can talk to the modem and mess up connectivity.
And as it turns out, simple switches with VLAN capability aren't expensive either.

The magic of VLANs then allows putting everything on one physical interface for the router. This essentially turns the switch into a port multiplexer for the firewall (10GBe comes in handy there). Also useful in case the router is a VM, since only a single NIC needs to be passed to it.

So right now the Twitter market cap looks to be about $12 billion dollars lower than the standing offer.

I'd naively assume that the price to settle starts at $12 billion dollars, and maybe goes up rather than down -- right now that $42 stock price is at least anchored by the probability of Musk being forced to buy it at $54, so if this ends without a sale, we might expect the stock price to go down.

How is it any different than any other startup compensating its employees or vendors with equity instead of cash? Generally it makes sense for an early stage company to convince its partners to take equity or equity like instruments instead of cash. This is preferable for a number of reasons including:

* Early partners are probably optimistic on the project (and hence why they're partners), and therefore want to participate in the upside.

* It aligns incentives, where early partners are heavily invested in the success of the project.

* It removes the cost, distraction and uncertainty of having to raise more cash to pay early partners by selling the equity to outside investors.

> I doubt it's my fault. I'm not "special". I think PHP is prone to bugs and bad practices both due language design and bad documentation.

Not in 2022. I avoided PHP for a long time. I got back to it and found that the Internet and books are full of best practices and I have not had an issue with documentation either. Would you please give me an example of how PHP is more prone to bugs vs. other languages in this area? I have found it to be really difficult to write buggy and insecure code. For example if you have not heard of PDO and you do not prepare, bindValue/bindParam, and then execute, that is your fault (make use of filter_input() as well!). It is advised literally everywhere today. Regardless, my return to PHP was pleasantly surprising. I finished my project pretty quickly and I have not used any frameworks. Security vulnerabilities? Perhaps, but so far so good. We will see. I tried my best and I have done my research. Every time I mention that it is written in PHP, people frown because they are stuck at PHP 5 or so. That said, subpar defaults in php.ini is still a thing though.

I got a lower end one on sale and even it has made a positive difference for us. We vacuum less often, but the floor is noticeably cleaner.

My wife was positive we’d be vacuuming just as much, insisted it was just a novelty, but we went from pretty much daily to weekly manual with the bot running daily.

Probably obvious but we realized letting it run in the evening after dinner while we clean made the most sense. You wake up to a clean floor. Prior to that we had it running in the middle of the day while we worked. Effectively it never seemed quite as clean.

I definitely recommend getting one.
Interesting, here in Sweden air is always free, however vaccums cost money (but way less stations have vaccums).

> Why do you think Iran is just toying with the idea of building a nuke?

After 2003's Iraq and Libya in 2011 (and Russia in 2022) it's straightforward to prove that autocrats need to have nukes (or be a staunch ally of a country with nukes) as it's the best way to prevent international sanctions escalating to military action; and conversely Ukraine shows us that not having nukes is a good way to get invaded by certain kleptomanic historically-revisionist irredentist kakistocracies.

> Doesn't it make sense that if they had the capacity, or if they had the capacity to make one in 6 months, that they would?

Consider that these countries need to build "real" nukes: whereas if Iran/NK/etc had only developed a couple of Hiroshima-sized fission bombs (~15kt) then the destructive potential is really limited and I imagine it wouldn't be a credible deterrent. But if they focus on getting 100kt+ fusion bombs (not just boosted bombs) working then the regime in charge can sleep easy at night.

> For 50 years Iran rules have been on the fence?

Iran has been actively trying to produce a nuke all the time - they just don't talk about it - nor do they talk about Israel's often successful clandestine air-strikes to their bomb production facilities - nor does Israel talk about it either. No-one talks about it.
