> the worst that can happen is being ordered to refund the original amount. Behaviour-correcting damages do not exist under German law.

Maybe if they want to change the laws anyway, this is what they should fix instead. In particular, there should be punitive damages for everything illegal that are high enough that it's almost never profitable to break the law even if you get away with it a significant proportion of the time.
One argument would be: Because beyond a certain size your service becomes a public platfrom and you are no longer competing with other platforms through your features, but through the fact that you have an existing userbase. So there is A) public interest in accessing, archiving, displaying, etc. the things users do on your platform and B) forcing your service to become more open the bigger it becomes keeps the competition of services going.

It's really... not. I've used MBPs for years (three generations of them) and they've literally (like, literally literally) Just Worked.

But I'm sure you'll find stats and horror stories that say otherwise, as if, somehow, Apple (or anyone) is capable of producing hardware and software that's impossible to break, never fails, and lasts forever.
> 1. The Reels algorithm is simplistic as fuck. I was scrolling through Instagram recently and a three reel “ad” came up. I accidentally tapped on the center one and it turned out to be a pimple popping video. Now every reel I see is that. No exceptions. I am sure if I actually watched more Reels I would get better content but that’s work.

OMG this... a million times this :/. YouTube has similar issues--where you watch one video from some sitcom or cartoon not because it was from that particular show but because it happened to be about something interesting and suddenly YouTube is SURE you LOVE that show and want EVERYTHING IT HAS about that show--but it isn't quite so bad as Instagram, where I've heard a ton of stories about ending up pigeonholed by its algorithm into something they have a phobia for or past trauma related to, and now they are afraid to use the app, because it really does feel like you click on one pimple popping video (which has come up as the SPECIFIC issue for MULTIPLE people I've talked to, INCLUDING MYSELF a while ago) and BAM the app is now nothing but pimples being popped, 24/7.
It's more to do with the relative consequences. A car engine goes out and you cal AAA, an airplane engine goes out and you have a serious problem.
I've tried to sign up for instagram, but it always said "email is already used", including for emails that I had just created.

Maybe they're losing users because nobody can sign up?

Or maybe the web sign up doesn't work, and you're only allowed to sign up with a facebook account (now they have your data) or the mobile app (they also have your data).

If so that's the kind of abject dishonesty that might also lose you users.
Do you have a source for this? I would love to have this in my back pocket for future discussions about this topic.

I have been ridiculing people for years trying to defuse an argument by saying "it's just a matter of semantics"

'that for once in your miserable excuse for an existence you have finally used the word "semantics" correctly.'
That's the excuse. Basically the real reason is that they only care about safety of the planes, not of the people handling the fuel (e.g. pilots, ground staff), or breathing the toxic fumes (everybody on or near an airport). So, they only care about safety when it is a very narrowly scoped notion of that concept.

Bureaucracies are weird like that. This is fundamentally not about people's safety but about covering their own safety (i.e. ass coverage). The problem is not something bad might happen but that they'd be held accountable for it.

Never mind that something bad has been known to happen for the last half century or so that they are not being held accountable for. People actually get sick and die because of leaded fuel but it's not their problem. And never mind that the bad thing that might happen is basically some ancient engines not running that well with unleaded fuel. That's why certification processes exist for engines. You can test this and decide to not certify certain engines for unleaded fuel. Ensuring people fly around with certified engines definitely is their problem. Any modern engine is basically certified for unleaded fuel already.
IcelandAir gave me a credit instead of refund when they canceled my flight in early COVID days. I called asking for a refund and was refused. The credit expired before I could use it. Why is there an expiration? This was in excess of $2000. I’ll never fly IcelandAir again.

Many (in fact I would bet most) other AWS services themselves use DynamoDB under the hood for various control-plane and data-plane uses-cases. It is not unimaginable that the actual traffic to DynamoDB service in total at regular daily peaks would be in the nine or ten digits per second.

Granted, these are across different AWS accounts, across different tables but still delivered by a single logical service.

In (un)fairness it sounds like what all airlines do.
Isn't it weird that we allow home/land ownership to a family/individual in perpetuity and then complain about high prices and scarcity for newcomers?

Just think about it for a second, we in the west allow people to buy a piece of the Planet Earth, and hold on to it forever, virtually tax free(in Western Europe at least).

How is this nothing else but blatant feudalism? And how is it still allowed? Royal families and landlords were beheaded in the past by angry mobs over abusing this system for their personal gain.

Why don't we have taxes or a system in place to prevent this accumulation of land by those who got in the game early? Why can't we just lease land instead of allowing land ownership in perpetuity? Like, "this land is leased to you/your family for the next 100 years, after that it goes on to the market again where your offspring will have the chance to lease it again if they wish at the future market rate". Something like that, as our current system is basically a zero sum game which just encourages land hoarding through inheritance.

Those who's families go cheap land for peanuts ~100 years ago, are now leveraged to acquire even more of it while those born now without family wealth have no leverage to buy anything. Insane!

Imagine you have to start paying Monopoly from square one, while others get to continue where their parents left off. How is this fair? Why don't we have a system that resets this real-estate monopoly board every generation or so?

With our current ways, instead of creating a system that rewards individuals through hard work and innovation that contribute to society and human-kind, we're creating a system that encourages asset hoarding and rent-seeking that contribute nothing to humanity, rapidly going back to feudalism, where a few landlords, both corporate and private, will own all of the available land, and most of the people will be serfs for life, without the chance of ever owning anything, no matter how hard they work.

So, again, why do we allow people to own pieces of Planet Earth in perpetuity, virtually tax free?
The temptation is to have the message date and/or ranking number in the message table. This is fine and good.

The next temptation is to have the index on that date or (date, rank) and use that for displaying the list of messages. This is bad.

For the list of threads (messages without a parent) you want to know which to show… but there are a lot of calculations that would make this inefficient. Is it a root message? Is it deleted? Is it marked by spam or other content filters? Is it approved?

You can start to see how this gets messy. How do you show messages that are approved for one group of readers and not for others? And what is their order? So separate the concerns… in the db. SQL is your friend if the db has the right data packaged and indexed the right way.

It’s a different problem and has a different solution. Now mind you, I cut my teeth on this in the late 1990s and early 2000s when we grew quickly into the Alexa 1000 and farther up. China blocked us as one of the original dozen sites on the great firewall (via dns resolved IPs, not the domain itself… hahaha, oh the chaos they empowered!). Databases were more expensive than engineering time back then, so efficiency mattered. People do dumb things now and use giant clusters when a single machine would do, but I digress…

I would think the biggest problem with JSF would be hiring new people. There aren't a ton of frontend developers who are happy to jump to Java in my experience, so putting this to production might prove challenging.
I think criticizing them is fair. GitHub is a well established code repository which does something and does it well.

Microsoft endlessly tinkering with the product shows a lack of stability in it's lifespan, what if you adopt a new feature they add only for it to be removed in the next cycle. But they paid 7.5 billion dollars for the website, and need to justify the salaries of dozens of VPs of marketing and PMs, so here we are.
You know I just had a look at Reels and of the four on my screen, three have a tiktok logo. People are making "reels" already by just taking someone elses popular video and uploading it as a reel.

Which has the effect of: Advertising tiktok.

TikTok is banned in India now, but when it was active, my feed was filled with content from daily wage labourers, farmers, and people living in small towns and villages. It was unpolished stuff but delightfully sincere and fun.

Reels just feels way too urbane and polished. Just not the same vibe.
At the process level, I don't think it's a good idea to work on particular implementation traits when comparing very different systems. One will complain that in China parties are banned, the other will complain that in US third parties can't win anything anyways and so on.

I think it's better to look at more broad goals. Can ideas or people get represented in each system? The actual mechanisms may be very different, but I think comparing the end results would be more interesting.

An anecdote from my country. We have a left-leaning party that constantly wins the poorer areas. At first glance, this means they're popular. In practice, it's a bit different - since they already have a stable majority, and they have an old tradition of only supporting their own people when it's their turn to govern, what happens is that each individual potential candidate simply decides to go with this party instead of swimming against the current. So the real election is inside the party, then their candidate wins in 70-80% of the cases.

Is this a good system? Well, this strongly depends on the process to select the party candidates. It's surprisingly non-shitty on average, in that it tends to select competent people. It's shockingly shitty on occasion, when it fails basic integrity checks. Judging the end results is far from straightforward.

Btw, I'm definitely not advocating for more of this inside the existing western democracies. It's definitely a horrible idea, because we definitely do NOT have the institutional processes to select consistently good candidates inside each party. China is not mixing them.
Isn't Vaadin paid? The last time I took a look, I got denied because of licensing.
Part of the reason is that USB isn’t one linear timeline of newer versions. There are so many optional features that you are really naming a branched tree of USB specs. But even then they seem to have done a particularly bad job.
Allowing punitive damages would be a major change to the foundations of German civil law. German law (mostly and traditionally) thinks of damages as a means to make the other party whole rather than to incentivise a certain behaviour of the injurer. Hence German law is utmost reluctant to give anyone more than they suffered in losses.

Adding some obscure consumer protection rule is a much less controversial change to the law.

The traditional German legal doctrine sees the enforcement of fair business practices rather in the hands of the authorities than in those of consumers. Of course, there is little evidence of this to work in this or similar contexts.

I've been using Apple for a decade now and my experiences with the Apple Silicon machines reminded me of the Windows 95 -> Windows 2000 transition only with no way of actually getting things to work.

It does a lot of things right - especially sleep - however I'm constantly running into problems with buggy software which is unfixable because Apple don't do compatibility.

Also not having a battery which can be replaced or storage which can be user-upgraded is absolute garbage in 2022.

EDIT: if I was still a gamer I'd be laughing the MacBook out of the room.
Tangentially related but when I have lived in countries where English isn't the first language I'm amazed how many big companies ignore the language set in my web requests (English) and serves me content in the county's native language. Google for example and they really hide the button to chsngethe language.

I suppose they assume a lot of people have devices incorrectly configured to English but its very frustrating for a tech literate person who travels a lot.

Ok, it's obvious why they want to restrict developer mode (because it would allow sideloading), but that's a sure fire way to cripple your mobile developers - I assume the "sample phones" expressly marketed for mobile developers would be rare and much more expensive than regular models...

Ah, that's interesting information. I've been a (paid) user of Kagi these last few weeks and I'm really enjoying its snappiness.

VS Code loads slower than Sublime or Kate (though they're a bit lighter on features than Code, not sure it's slower than Qt Creator). And Google Docs takes many seconds (worse on older hardware) to load 100-150 page documents (4 seconds for warm load on Firefox on a top-of-the-line (for single-threaded) Ryzen 5600X) than LibreOffice Writer (just over 1 second on warm startup, 0.6 seconds if Writer is already running).

That just isn't true. The airlines often pretend that isn't the case, but just linking to, e.g., the site below usually make them pay without too much hassle.

> Agreed, but sadly it's still a niche fuel. ... I think that unless a large number of GA airplanes can run on true automotive gas (which means gasohol now) in the near future, GA is doomed.

There are several problems with gasohol outside the core engine, from compatibility with fuel systems (bladders etc.), to phase separation, to vapor lock, to hygroscopicity. I'm sure that can be designed around, but it's not a drop-in replacement in planes designed for avgas.

If you want an abundant and affordable fuel, in the aviation world that's Jet A(-1). There's some limited success with Jet A burning diesel engines for the GA market (Thielert (or whatever they're called today) and Austro mainly).

Personally I think it would be cool if turbines suitable for GA would be developed. Currently turbines cost an arm and a leg, but I think partially that is an effect of development focused on power/weight and fuel efficiency, cost be damned. That might suit commercial and military use, but not GA. And yes, turbines don't scale down very well either. Still, a turbine that would have an upfront cost competitive with current GA engines would be very attractive, even if it would come at a cost in fuel efficiency. That would be, I think, more than compensated by the power/weight and safety advantages, as well as fuel availability and affordability. I think there are a couple of companies working in this space (TurbAero and Turbotech that I'm aware of, maybe others as well), we'll see if any of them ever come to fruition.
Why this wont work: must be done on EU level, not in tiny little Germany. This wont get momentum on EU level, hence, the (actually great) idea will die.

great idea or populism to mask the absolute failure in German politics in the past 20-30 years. If we didnt have the old industries (that the post-Nazi generation built), we would be doomed.
Hard to understand why anyone thinks gentrification or foreign buyers/renters are the problem if this is the case. Put people in the houses you already have, and build some more if needed, and you will likely find the price drops. But perhaps the people with decision-making power are hoping the price continues to rise.
I worry that this would essentially make it easier for airlines to drop passengers in the long run.

Right now if your EU flight is cancelled you're entitled to a monetary compensation[1] on top getting your ticket money back. I worry that letting the airlines simply not charge you will allow them to wiggle out of this, or make the process to get it even more Byzantine than it already is.

Backwards compatibility doesn’t seem to be the issue. It’s that new devices designed today don’t and won’t support the full spec.

Most of all the daily requests I get are for everything but language X. Out of the ~10 messages I get each week, maybe one is related to language X.

Don't think what's happening to you is unique to "web3" but rather that people just skim read the profile on LinkedIn. They simply check if past experiences include whatever they are looking for.

About the concert thing: people tend to interact in the queue to the concert venue. People tend to talk after a concert. Extra perk: you already have a topic to talk about.

Hacking camps are sure not a typical source of women, but what I said was not "search places where women are", but rather "put yourself out there, but in places that match your interest". If it turns out that place has no women at all, sure that won't help for that purpose. Keep in mind that I cited examples that worked for a young (35-ish) person like me.

It is not easy to find someone you like, regardless of gender, but putting yourself out there is one of the best ways to do it. Even if your thing is IT, there might be places that need it. E.g. a friend did IT for kids in need and he certainly met one ore another women his age there.
It has everything to do with socialism, because the state is the main beneficiary when electricity is tripple taxed (Taxed on buy, sale (double) and transport) and are making billions while people are becoming homeless (requiring welfare to survive). If you also remove businesses that drive tax to pay for welfare, who's then going to pay for everything?

They where open during times when electricity cost was at the lowest and yes, of course such hours would never work, it just drives in the point even more, restaurants are unsustainable at high energy costs. Keep in mind that low-pay jobs are non-existent in Sweden due to high lowest-salary regulations, a huge difference from US.
