I never used to wear a helmet, and I don’t think anyone should be forced to, but countless anecdotes about people being in comas and becoming permanently brain damaged due to no-fault accidents, combined with peer pressure from everyone I know, and finding one I don’t actively despise the look of, means that now I do. If I’m going grocery shopping I simply don’t take it off in the shop. I’ve incorporated it into my own punk self-image - can’t fuck with the system if I’m in an easily avoidable coma!

Don’t really care for requiring one at all really, our bonces inside out are our own business and if people want to take that risk it’s on them.
I glanced through the manual linked in answers elsewhere. The Apple manual is very detailed and lays out the risks you could potentially get into - and thats a good thing. At this point, iFixit criticism looks more like a rant. FWIW, Apple must be going through this process - its not like they have shortcuts they arent willing to part with.
I recently bought an escooter to get around easily in the suburbs where I live. One concern I have is theft. It seems that no lock can withstand 30-60 seconds of lockpicking/brute-forcing.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to mitigate this risk?
for content you have purchsed (ie: prime) there is nothing stopping them from giving you a file in case they delist the content (Bandcamp is a good example of a service that offers exactly this).

this may be more of a political stance, but most of this content is produced by huge media corporations with deep pockets and histories of nefarious business practices. do i really care if disney gets paid for their content? no not really. if they amortize this loss by paying their employees less than that says more about them than it does about anyone pirating from them.
And/or allow Safari to be updated independently from the OS. Chrome/Firefox/etc. and Android WebView are updatable as normal apps outside of the Android lifecycle, there's no excuse for Apple's self-imposed limitations here.

Bold of you to trust an opaque corporation with access to your network and the data they can log through that. I wouldn't even trust Synology with their account quick access thing, as seamless as they claim it to be.

I'm very impressed to learn about Snowy 2.0. Of course, it's not a silver bullet - in a renewable world, storage will have to be fairly distributed across the grid to maintain frequency.

For comparison, it seems Germany uses nearly 2x more electricity than Australia and currently has about 10x less pumped storage (including wip) than what Snowy 2.0 will have alone.

SELECT itself should be optional. Languages with expressions are fairly intuitive, e.g. "int x = foo.bar;" where "foo.bar" is equivalent to the "SELECT bar FROM foo;" SQL statement. I don't breathe SQL every day, so I'm struggling to come up with a case where removing SELECT results in parsing ambiguity.

People who spy on metadata make dishonest claims like "it isn't an invasion of privacy since we are only collecting metadata".

No. Your metadata is my data; that's the point. "Meta" is an additional contextual characteristic of some (I'd say most) data.

With the release of the Phylum Community Edition, we have added support for Software Supply Chain Extensions: scriptable extensions to the product that enable a layer of automation and customizability on top of what Phylum provides.
The article and manual everyone is talking about explicitly say that the top case situation is temporary and that Apple will offer battery-only parts in the future. Stop making mountains out of molehills. They're attempting to cover as many repairs with the same parts as possible. This is a supply chain issue not an intentional requirement to force people to replace parts that don't need replacement.

Clean clothes: I can afford to, have the time to, and the will to bathe and wash which are morally correct things to do and which reflect my good character when it comes to cleanliness in society.

Clean air isn't political.
I think the article's second part is missing the point [where a bunch of tools are recommended to remove metadata from eg. pdf files].

I suspect by "metadata" the general meant: A is a verified terrorist, B communicates a lot with A or maybe is often co-located with A, fits the demographic of a terrorist and some other coincidental "metadata" is enough to put a high-ish probability on B being a terrorist and target B; or at least treat him/her as acceptable collateral damage.
Sticky tape trick led to Nobel Prize (2010)
It is disappointing to me that most of the comments that talk about personal accountability are being reflexively downvoted.

We probably shouldn't have bailed out the banks in the GFC or more recently forgiven PPP loans to business who didn't need it or previously spent recklessly on buybacks.

We also shouldn't have working class people, or people who responsibly paid off their loans, subsidize others who made unfavorable economic choices.

Socialism for both individuals and businesses comes with extreme moral hazard. Real capitalism means business go under - you get the wins and the losses. Similarly, part of what made America great is the individualism that you are responsible for your own outcome. Clearly we have structural issues, but this was a real thing - this sends a terrible message. Why be responsible if the government will bail you out? Why take accountability for your decisions when our leaders are telling you that other people are at fault for your bad choices?

This also directly leads to the extremism in politics. Liberals go to the Bernie camp because they see how big business gets unfairly subsidized. Conservatives go to the Trump camp because they see socialist policies stomping down and belittling the non-college educated working class, and to add insult to injury, they are now directly paying for it.
But why make this political when the parent didn't say "Democratic" California or specify democrats as being responsible for the brown outs? Maybe they live in California instead of Texas? How do you know what their politics are?

> there would be hours-long lines for chargers

I think the common misconception here is that chargers are often compared to gas pumps. Do you visit the gas pump every day with your car? Most people don't. Most EV owners charge at home, often during night hours, to take advantage of cheaper TOU electricity rates.

The clear difference here is that with an EV, you can wake up every morning with a "full tank". That eliminates the need to use a public charger unless you 1) forgot to charge 2) are on a road trip or 3) drive a lot. The average commute is ~15 miles the last I checked, so I think #3 will happen, but it won't be very common.

tldr: You can't really leave for your destination in an ICE with a full tank. With an EV, you can.

YET. The manual and the article itself acknowledge that this repair is only possible with a top case replacement and that battery-only parts will be available soon.

What's up with those comments in the comment section
Maybe. That's not what he did, though.

If you think it's a good idea to allow a former POTUS to retroactively and implicitly declassify information he is caught with after leaving office, or to issue a sweeping declaration that any documents he takes out of the Oval Office are automatically declassified, I suspect you won't be as blasé when someone of the opposing political party does it.
I echo this sentiment--you don't need an electric bike for what you describe. I would suggest, however, not starting with a $300 single-speed. Get a city bike with an internally-geared hub, maybe eight speeds. Take your time getting used to it. Around where I live, it took me a couple weeks to get comfortable.
We get about nine and a half hours of sun in January, assuming no clouds. That leaves around 14-15 hours of no production, assuming there isn't sufficient wind (also often the case in January).

Panels operating at 30% capacity for 9 hours cannot be offset by 5 hours worth of storage. It simply isn't enough storage, even if the panels were operating at 100% capacity. Adding more storage really isn't a great solution either; I'm guessing that you would be hard pressed to get 15 hours worth of storage out of 9 hours of sunlight when the hours of darkness start at 4:30 PM, especially if everyone moves to electrical cooking, water heating and clothes drying, which some states are starting to compel.

So, the two obvious solutions remain- import stored energy from out of state, or using non-renewables as a base load a few months out of the year. We'll need to pay for burying tonnes of HVDC lines (stringing them up in tornado prone areas isn't a great call, imho) or the expense of more nuclear plants (unpopular and, currently at least, uneconomical) or pulling CO2 out of the air to offset natural gas (also expensive).

HVDC lines seem the cheapest, though sourcing the energy will take years of production and inter-state agreements to get to the point where the south is producing (and storing!) enough to send the excess north.
Why should the marketcap be of any concern to me?

Is that how you evaluate technologies? By their marketcap?
I feel like PoS has always had this problem, it will be interesting to see how this goes. Certainly PoW has some hairy details as well, but the backbone of "you can only run computations so fast" makes it simpler to reason about.

The question being asked is also a harder one to answer than just explaining PoS. Similar to a PoW scheme where only one or two people control all of the hashing power, it could be decentralized in theory but not actually in practice, and it doesn't seem like there are any super hard numbers on this aspect.
Note that this is from the head of marketing at bitcoin.com.
> What's the point of working hard? What's the point of making decisions, responsible decisions in my past, what's the point of studying day and nights, skipping parties, skipping fun, but working and studying to provide for my family?

So... your assumption is "if other people aren't forced to pay ridiculous amounts of money for education, that put that education out of reach of entire populations, then there's no point putting effort into anything"?

Working hard should be done for (a) personal growth and (b) to provide for others. It should not be done to pay off punishing costs that shouldn't exist in the first place. That's just what it's forced to be done for in our society, and that's what needs steps to fix.

I ran into this too, It was a bug in my view because according to the service description ads would "sometimes" show up during live programming. I guess it doesn't say that ads WON'T show up elsewhere, but my assumption was that they wouldn't.

I had signed up in '20 or '21 and I am curious if this is still the same way.
Yeah, my acquaintance does something similar, collects ebikes and scooters with a GPS jammer, takes all the parts and dumps the frame.

A big waste imo, though newer models have trackers inside the battery - smart considering it's quickly becoming the most valuable part.
Article seems to draw an overly narrow conclusion that metadata only means extra data attached to document files like pdf, etc. When CIA says “metadata” they mean things like who you talked to (vs. what you said), where you were (vs. what you did), etc. I mean sure watch out for metadata if you are leaking document files or whatever, but it’s much broader than that.
I am reading "a peoples history of United States" by Howard zinn. It highlights US in a very negative light so with that caveat out of the way, it appears we are continuously ashamed of things we did just a century back. Always.

Maybe in a hundred years we will also talk about the current era as dark times (as long as we are the top dog or maybe number 2). But at that point we will have something else to be ashamed of (but that will not be talked of at that time).

If we spiral out of control or break up, then the story (in hindsight) will be even more amazing.

But then I look at other countries and apart from some good European socialism which is quite recent, there ain't much to be proud of, when you look at any country, of any era.
That's a false equivalence though and not what the alternative option is here. The government was killing its enemies 100 years before the word digital was invented and will continue to do so as long as government exist. They will use every technology invented in the pursuit of doing so. Blaming metadata signature based approaches is no different than blaming their use of satellites, metallurgy, hell the wheel is a big part of their war machine. It has always been this way and it will continue to always be this way.
This is only viable when viewed as an economic game. As soon as a real war breaks out or national security is threatened, privacy invasions from foreign powers and literally anyone not whitelisted, will be ended quickly and be treated as acts of war.

Assuming all private companies are bent is pointless. People should be allowed the choice to keep their data private and give it whomever they please. This is a 'free market' after all.

>Do Blu-rays and VODs just not exist anymore?

Yes. My mom watched an episode of Ted Lasso on a flight recently, and was interested in watching more. It is straight up Apple TV+ only. No physical media release or VOD. Subscription only.

Same with a bunch of animated shows that HBOmax axed recently. They were streaming only with no other releases, and it is now impossible to watch any of the past episodes legally.
Yes, an ingress resource will typically create a load balancer if you are in the cloud, but not a service resource.
Yes, Trump definitionally cannot have leaked secret documents while he was president, because he had the authority to declassify them and the act of distributing them would have been a form of that declassification.

Reality Winner had no such authority to declassify documents.
For the cost of 5kW nameplate of new western nuclear (>$10/W) you can get, right now, at retail, as an individual: 50kW nameplate of solar, and 8kW nameplate of wind, and 75kWh of storage and a 5kW generator (which will almost never need turning on) and a biogas digester.

And it will produce enough excess power to replace itself (with a cheaper version) or just triple the batteries if you can get 2-3c/kWh for the surplus well before the reactor is built

Mentioning nuclear as an option is about as sensible as a generator bicycle.

HTML vs plain text is a distraction; it's not the 1970's anymore and saving a byte or two here and there just isn't the computing world we're living in. Not when images, video, or audio files regularly get attached to email.

Quote chains are why it's both email and email clients that need to improve. Without consensus on what's "right", we're left with poor solutions with poor UX, and implemented in a fragmented way, because all clients need to agree. What's more, how do you loop someone into a conversation they weren't previously a part of, if you don't have the history of the thread in each mail? This is something Slack gets right, and because they control the client as well, they can unilaterally make changes that support their view of how message history works. The strength of email is in its decentralization but here, it becomes a shortcoming.

Wow, that's a lot of hydro and nuclear power!

Thanks for sharing. I wonder how the New England and upstate NY power grids compare, since they also have a lot of hydro and nuclear?
Installing a 240V or 208V outlet should be just as simple, although the result will be less convenient for anything someone might want to do with a power outlet in a parking lot.

Although, if you are wiring a 240/208 circut, you should be able to use the same wiring to drive a 120V receptical.
Your post history is public and people can judge for themselves if your account is pushing this single issue. I'll be popping up whenever I see you post to remind people that you don't want to say where you work in the display industry. Again, people can make their own judgements about that.

"Bajo" in Spain
Yeah, but that renewable hydro is unlikely to grow much in the USA, while wind and solar will be growing exponentially. Hydro is cool, and works well with solar/wind/nuclear to help match supply and demand, but ...

If you look at global renewable output, the big chunk of hydro production that's been flat for decades, somewhat obscures the recent sudden rise of solar and wind.

I don't see anything to suggest that this policy will change in the future, they probably don't want to risk someone burning their house down while trying to remove a glued in pouch battery and then blaming Apple for it.

Incidentally on the flip side of this, I got a free new battery out of the keyboard replacement program because they replace this whole top case assembly for keyboard replacements as well.

I hoped that whole keyboard warranty extension fiasco would encourage Apple to stop gluing everything together so much and design for individual components to be replaced again, but I guess not.

It is implicitly true. There used to be an informal social contract that the dollar had value, that the government would protect this value, and that there would be a free market that would provide a time value of money.

Governments, businesses, individuals and reckless borrowers of all stripes - not just students - have been massively rewarded by our current policies from both the left and the right where there is no longer accountability. We make money free so the market doesn't crash. This is so sad and leads to the cynicism and distrust so many of us have towards our institutions today.
Trump's duty as a civil servant, whose role included "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" -- that ended on January 20, 2021. Along with the end of his duty, ended all of the power he wielded. In terms of real legal powers, he's just like you and me.
"ordinal" is preferred to "index", as "index" doesn't naturally suggest starting at "1", or even restricting the key to integers. "Ordinal" starts from 1, everyone agrees (except mathematicians, of course :-) ).
It's always up to the President, but in this case there's very little grounds to pardon her. Her actions were pretty cut and dry example of leaking classified material.

If anything, a Presidential pardon from the current administration would be seen as a highly partisan move in an already politically-agitated climate and make everything worse.
Twitter's Practical Security
I go the other way. No docker, just bare metal server with 4 cores and it can handle a shitton of traffic.

- Debian OS, fully locked down (all ports closed except SSH, with limiter).

- SSH + rsync to deploy app. I don't have a risk factor of managing dependencies between dev and prod, so I eliminated docker.

- SQLite db that gets thrown on S3 every hour using a python script. I don't want streaming anything. Just hourly backups is good enough.

- Cloudflare tunnel to connect to outside world and serve requests.

It is fast, cheap and requires not much "infra" knowledge. Of course this is for solo devs and small companies.
The pool is mostly concentrated in Bay area & I would assume the general quality of SWE skills don't differ by much. Its more about what the company priorities are.
It doesn't even need a crack, it "just" needs more accurate emulation.

It may turn out that cracking is the path of least resistance, but making emulation more accurate is less of a legal issue - I for one would feel comfortable working on it "in the open" (which I may well do, depending on how much I care about the first Denuvo'd switch games to come out).
