Apps can be side-loaded directly from websites. One doesn’t need another app store - the reason why competitor app stores fail is because they’re untrustworthy and crap. There isn’t a need for another app store if what one wants is already on the play store. The only secondary model that makes sense is direct downloads from websites, which unfortunately is also malware territory.

This is why the EU rules fall on their face: it’s all the security holes with none of the perceived advantages, only a few big names will make bank because they’re big and trusted enough to advertise directly to consumers.

As i said before, the EU should have just mandated that approvals are spun off to a 3rd party entity. That way it would solve the usual line of attack “apple didn’t approve my crashy spyware calculator app because they want to get rich on their own free calculator.”
Yeah, it is self centered, but it is fun.
‘No evidence that PFOF harms price execution,’ finds new research

It would be interesting to repeat the experiment and look if YouTube's algorithm was responsible for "disproportionately" recommending Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections to users more "skeptical of the election's legitimacy to begin with."

The problem is who decides which topics should get more diffusion and which less, and indirectly, which topics are true and worthwhile and which are just crackpot misinformation.
I had thought until now that Amazon primary revenue stream is running a good chunk of the internet. Quick research tells me, you are right.
Are digits gendered? What about numbers in general?
Nobody ever wants to open source Pornhub. Wide consumer interest, no physical products to worry about, lots of advertising potential - and your not competing with Amazon, Wal-Mart, Google, Apple, or Target. Sounds like a better deal to me.
It's quite easy to find websites that claim it is, do you have something more authoritative that claims otherwise?

Eg. https://www.tiretechnologyinternational.com/news/regulations... cites a UK study.

Not a ton of experience biking in the region, but I rode from Barcelona to Montserrat and it is quite lovely. There are a few sections where you're on a road busier with cars than one would like, but I've found Spanish drivers to be fairly respectful of bikers*. It was about 3.5h there, 2.5h back, with a nice 600m climb up the mountain at the end of the trip. The views up there are simply stunning.

* Fun story, I rode 1500 miles throughout Spain ~10 years ago, and had not a single bad experience with a motorist. When I got back to my home in NY state, literally on my first bike ride back, within 2 miles of my starting point, a man in a truck threw a beer can at me.

Does this guy lives in the perfect spot to do these things? Making clay seems to be easy. Large quantities of metals in the ground. Never cold, plenty of wood everywhere.
But they can just continue making old USB2 cables
Where to start…

Metalwork is a big subject and there’s some great videos on YouTube. “This Old Tony” is the king.

Really the easiest way to start is probably with a pen kitI think.

They’re usually very simple and fun (but maybe a bit boring.)

With kit pens you’re only making the cladding of the pen. That’s usually wood, acrylic or ebonite and shaped by hand on a wood or beed lathe with chisels.

For steel you’d need a beefier metal lathe. To knurl the grip you need knurling wheels. They’re pretty cheap but it all mounts up.

I like to work with rod bar stock. I’ll work up a design in a notebook and cut/bore the various parts.

Holding up the work is really important. There’s various ways to do it but I’d suggest either an ER collet set or a 4 jaw chuck.

With aluminium instead of steel I can just about shape the metal with a high speed steel chisel. Steels too hard.

I don’t use CNC which limits accuracy and repeatability. What I end up with is “good enough” and I’m ok with that.

I’d suggest getting a second hand lathe, which will come with some accessories, and turning some metal into scrap. It’s great fun, especially if you’re a software engineer.
The US economy industrialized in the 19th century. 1700-1800 would be pre-industrial.

Besides, America did try fiat money with the colonial government, and again in the Civil War. Particularly in the Confederacy.

Each of those instances suffered from galloping inflation.

Interestingly, in each of the two gold rushes, the US had inflation due to the influx of gold.
If you have a green card (I do) you're subject to US tax laws and a holding company doesn't buy you anything. You may want to put them into a trust, though, however you can decide when you want to do that (if you are single it's in almost every case not worth it) because putting your assets into a trust for your benefit isn't a taxable event.

Incorporate your companies in the US. Since 2017 the US is a "low tax" regime for corporations and anyway, you'll presumably be actually doing business here so you'll need a US (delaware) corp. Don't make your life unnecessarily more complicated.

I have lived in Germany but only had to deal with German salary. I didn't need to tell them anything about my assets outside German. Of course tax law can have changed. But if you don't intend to go back to Germany then only the US tax case matters.

In general I make little effort to try to minimize my taxes. Instead I just live my life.
There are definitely economies of scale when it comes to farming and weed is no exception. That, and taking advantage of cheaper labor costs elsewhere (like Mexico)

That, and it may be easier to grow in a laxer jurisdiction and transport it to a stricter one, than just trying to grow it in a strict one.
No current country has been able to resist the lure of printing free money. They are also unified in denying that such printing causes inflation.
> all the cables are fast

Wouldn't that be massively expensive? I don't need my charging able to cost that much.
And what are they building toward if most people are consistently losing wages under inflation and the wealthy keep getting wealth injections from the government? Many people sees this only going two ways, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer so they will likely spend their lifetime just barely surviving, or there is a huge economic crash from the top heavy economy in which case anything they built gets smashed to pieces anyways.

Most people these days have seen multiple large economic crashes and swings and have very little faith that our economic systems are stable or sustainable. Prospects for the bottom 2/3 of the population are negative, stability is questionable, long term sustainability isn't anywhere near feasible yet.

You get one life, might as well enjoy it while you can. Not just labor your days away for the short term benefits of the few.
other people are answering you with more knowledge than I have, but a slightly little off-the-wall suggestion, depending on where you need to be, there is a great tax incentive within the US to set your business up in Puerto Rico, but you need to spend a significant amount of time there. However, being an island in the Caribbean, that might be considered a bonus.

The default setting on iOS is to immediately upload every new image (photo or screenshot saved to the camera roll) to iCloud. Screenshots default to saving to the camera roll (and contain quite a bit of auxiliary data, btw). On the web, the default and sometimes only way to save an image is to add it to the camera roll.
I think they meant "in the West". Which makes sense: US and UK sold us to Stalin in Jalta, so they had to wipe the memory of Polish participation in WWII (or at least downplay it), so their societies could feel good about themselves.

What, why? Floods can be prevented and it is fine to expect that we work towards that ideal. Nothing wrong about that.
IF you want to take it in isolation, and assume that no-one uses GPFS, then yeah?

The general gist is that unless you've worked in a place that has setup a "proper" network, that is roaming home directories, mapped posix storage, kerberised user account, and some sort of multi-machine graph based job dispatch system (ie airflow, grid engine, large scale k8s with a batch plugin, aws's batch pixar's tractor), then you will have not seen a need for a large clustered filesystem with a posix-like interface.

moreover, given the "filesystems are hard and bad, use object storage instead" noise that we've had since we joined the cloud era, why would you _try_ to use a clustered filesystem? Especially as most of the "free" ones are shite.
Excellent. My background is computer engineering who enrolled shit load of computer network classes, interned for a Cisco gold partner, but then switched to software development. At some points my network engineers friends (and hardware stuff engineers) turned into software development, mostly web development.

I'd like to add one more factor here. It's transferable knowledge AND cheap cost of building your own business. When I was an intern to install and config a bunch of switches, routers, firewalls, and realized a switch is so expensive that I wouldn't be able to build my own business like this. So I got into software development job. It's way easier and also able to do side software project. IaaS or PaaS is so cheap, no needs to mess with data center myself.

They could licence the magsafe tech to other brands without allowing them to sell cables/chargers for Apple devices, maybe even alter the size/shape as a requirement.
Because there is nothing backing it. Normal bank loans are not inflationary because collateral must be supplied to back it up. No collateral, no loan.

For example, if you take out a mortgage, your house is collateral.

The government just issues more debt to pay off the old debt.
How does this relate to Thunderbolt, if it does? Is it daisy-chainable?

What a PITA this has become. Does USB still impose excessive processor overhead?

Then there's the unavailability of any USB hub that doesn't suck donkey balls.
The consumer experience is that unregulated "open" markets fall prey quickly to abuse of many kinds which bewilder, mislead, and defraud.

Consider the now-standard criticism of Amazon wrt cookie-cutter phantom brands with identical products; false reviews; etc etc.

If they were able to cause the pacemaker to fire when they wanted they could time it during the repolarization, which could possibly cause a fatal arrhythmia even in a heart that doesn't need a pacemaker. It's called R-on-T phenomenon and it's usually caused by malfunctioning pacemakers.
I wonder if this is going to become the new normal for websites
Director-level here. Given enough notice (let's say weeks, not days -- but hopefully you have months of notice!), I will figure something out. This is not your problem -- it's my problem.

I always encourage people taking mat/pat leave to take the entire time alotted by the company. It's just a job. I can deal without you. If I can't deal without you, then I haven't been doing my job. As a leader of a lean organization, I am constantly thinking about the bus factor.

It's not just mat/pat leave, but what if you got COVID and were out for a week? What if you had an emergency health situation and had to be out for six weeks? What if you just straight up quit tomorrow? How would I handle that? Well, it turns out that's the same way I would handle mat/pat leave. If we're down, we have to fill in the gap somehow. We'll manage. We have to.

Maybe that means hiring contractors temporarily. I've done that. It's a fine solution. But truth is that the only true thing to do is to work to make sure the workload is distributed across other people, deprioritize the least important things and put them in the backlog, and make sure that everyone is aware that any projects this person is responsible for will move slower until either this person returns or we can bring more resources to bear on the project. We can't overload the rest of the team, but we also can't operate at 100% capacity -- the business needs to realize that. And if they don't, then that's a Big Problem that has nothing to do with your paid family leave.

Right now there are currently 2-3 people in my org that are so critical that if something happened, we'd be totally boned. Fortunately, they are all healthy and happy and not expecting children at the moment, so it's not an urgent emergency, but I am still spending a chunk of my time getting some cross-training in with other team members to make sure that the bus factor is at an acceptable level.

Long story short: it's not your problem if your teams can't handle your absence, it's your manager's problem. And if they can't handle that... well, it's just a job. There are other jobs out there. You can find one that treats you like a human being worthy of respect and time and energy.

I wouldn't stress out too much about it, honestly.

I think this is exactly it for me. It is teaching me that everyone has an interesting story to tell if you just take a moment to listen.

I understand how a psychopath could take the book and do damage - but the core message seems to be genuine and solid advice.

People are living an experience just like you. And, likely just like you, most seem to want others to be invested in that experience. Going on that journey with them makes making friends easy - you learn fascinating stuff every day and they feel good when they walk away from the conversation.
given the shortage of Pi's available on the market right now, and the fact that you can get Bluetooth adapters for speakers on Amazon for a few bucks, it's probably not applicable anymore for real world usage.

But, it's a cool writeup and a nice learning process that is documented well.
I think those deleted scenes are hours upon hours of tedious labor.
There is no reason they make the transfer speeds as hard to read/decipher as possible. However there is a reason that features are separated. These do cost money in implementation in regards to the cable, the host, and client.
I know that, and if monetary cost is the only thing you're measuring it's a perfectly good explanation and it's totally worth it to knowingly poison people for that.

The hardest job I had paid minimum wage when I was 16 in the UK - 3.98 an hour. I make more money taking a crap as a software engineer than I made in an 8 hour day as a developer. That's not a joke, I did the math the other day. People work much harder jobs than sw for much lower wages all over the country and world.
Bush's Memex and Engelbart's mother of all demos hint at something much more powerful than HTML and the premature optimization that we got as a result.

In reading the pdf linked by Jtsummers, I recall how some of the sales people I supported had 20+ gigabytes of email in their inboxes... which drove me nuts (Exchange Server really didn't cope well with it back then), and now I know why, they were building a hyperlinked database (well, threaded) that they could search through.

Here in HN, we do the same thing over time, building a tree structured database that preserves context and is searchable. The main limitation here is there's only one possible tree, and it's the privileged view.

There's at least a billion dollars of knowledge captured here in HN. Yet, it takes Dang and a strong community to keep that one view rational, due to the corrupting forces of human nature and profit motives from spam and scams.

There's got to be a better way.
Land value tax solves this (as they say).
They are the first government that openly buys votes. They focus on their core groups, that is mainly elderly people, and promise them money if they vote for them, at the same time scaring them saying that if they vote for the opposition, this money will be taken away. It is one of the main reason that in spite of universal hatred they still have 30% support, mainly from the elderly.
Oh, Samsung. I just went through the most insane account recovery process I've ever seen. Tried to register a Samsung account, but my email was already taken. Guess I must have had an account at some point. If you forget your password, you have to provide your name and date of birth to reset it. If you fail to enter the correct details many times, which I somehow did, eventually they will send you the recovery email anyway. When I received it, it was in a language I'd never seen. Then I discovered that it was actually somebody else's account from Indonesia that was using my email address without me ever knowing. So I now have a Samsung account that was someone else's but it was using my email so it was really mine?
> Simonyi mistakenly used the word type in his paper, and generations of programmers misunderstood what he meant.

Simony actually distinguish between two meanings of "type":

(1) A set of valid operations for a value
(2) The storage representation of a value

For example he suggest the "sz" prefix for a pointer to a zero-terminated string and "st" for a pointer to a length-prefixed string. Both are represented as the same storage type (a pointer), but obviously different operations are valid on them.

Hungarian notations is a way to represent types-1 in a language which only support types-2. It is obviously bad to mix up the two kinds of string-pointers, but since the type system cannot represent the distinction we have to use Hungarian notation and then very carefully review the code to make sure the operations conform to the type-1 type.

But the types which Simonyi encoded in the variable names is clearly what would be represented as types in modern languages.
You should talk about this with an ophthalmologist. It could depend also on the lighting. Check that too.
But then why make them USBv4? Just make v3 cables. Has it truly been politicized by the industry to add so much complexity so crappy manufacturers can sell bad cables/hardware with the latest version number instead of just making stuff that consumers can use?

Minister: All French nuclear reactors to restart by winter
It became a thing at my elementary school in the 80s to try and sell iron to hobby shops for cash, so kids were tearing out the big magnets from speakers and digging into the sandboxes at school to pull iron out of the sand.

I never did it because I doubted you could really get money for a few ounces of iron and it looked pretty tedious to dig in a sandbox all day with a fist-sized magnet, and they were ruining speakers to do it. Who knew there was an even more tedious way to do this with clay and water?
> The most carbon-neutral trip is the one never made

The most carbon-neutral consumer is 6 feet under. Or, better yet, processed into biogas.

> A grid mostly powered by thermal electricity is going to struggle when it gets hot.

Maybe slightly. Britannica says (https://www.britannica.com/topic/coal-utilization-122944/Coa...) that most power plants limit steam temperature to 1000 F (540 C, 813 K). The efficiency difference when ambient goes from 300K to 310 K matters... a little.

I think it's more a case of "A grid that powers a lot of peoples' air conditioners is going to struggle when it gets hot". That is, the issue is demand, not supply.

> Your entire comment was a clever way of turning the tables on software engineers. Please don't insult my intelligence by pretending otherwise.

Thank you for calling me clever, but getting personal in a comment section isn't exactly amenable to discussion. Not to mention, ignoring all of the other points mentioned in the reply. I will accept your compliment, however.

> It has everything to do with why they don't want to do software engineering. I can't tell you how many of my educated peers think it's "lame" or "selling out" to work in a skilled career rather than being a bartender, activist, starving artist, etc.

What does that have to do with them not wanting to work in semiconductor manufacturing, which generally pays less than median software engineering salaries and is less sought-after? Do you actually have any comments germane to the discussion at hand? Are your educated peers actually eschewing well-paid skilled careers, either in software engineering or not, in favor of those other professions you've listed? What other careers are they pursuing instead? Are you attempting to establish a link between them calling those professions '"lame" or "selling out"' and downwards mobility? How old are these peers, and do they actually exist? What is your actual point here?
Sure, then have a charging flavor and a data flavor. Put a special little logo on the connectors. Why do we need such a complicated spectrum of things that plug into each other but don't work well for data or power?
