Akka's new license is highly likely incompatible with the Apache Software Foundation requirements for third party licenses. "Additional use grant" might mean a OSS project does not have to pay, but it still puts heavy restrictions on forking that project.

So Apache projects depending on Akka, like Flink or Spark, will probably have to fork it or be stuck on the current version.

Emergency SOS via satellite on your iPhone 14
It sounds simple enough but it's not so easy actually. I found myself spending some time doing it, and there were enough annoyances to abandon switching to firefox.

I really want to like it, it just doesn't click for me. There is just no practical incentive at the moment to switch (for me), just the more idealistic ones about privacy and so on.
I don't get it. Are lobbyists in control of congress? Aren't politicians the ones who pass bills? Or not pass bills in this case.

What are some good “international banks”? Does Schwab count?
This is it right here! The "emergency" part is a feel-good on top of the real service, which is location updates every X time even when off in no cell service land.
Yes really. There were of course wealthy families that had business interests looked after, but nothing like today where you have corporations whose power eclipses the state and calls the shots.

The lack of parties is even more black and white, those alliances did not exist at all. Advancement in their political system was based on individual accomplishments and if anything they were incentivized to sabotage each other, which is one problem they had.
If you're only looking for search and rescue, you can get a personal locator beacon for around $300 with no subscription fees. they last around 7 years before you'll want a new one in case of battery failure. They operate on the same NOAA systems that ships use to send SOS signals.

I wear one a lot since I live alone in the woods without cell or internet service for several months out of the year.
Second sentence from The Fine Article: "While the duration and temperature alone aren’t records, the simultaneous achievement of heat and stability brings us a step closer to a viable fusion reactor – as long as the technique used can be scaled up."
I'm a software developer and I had been trying to raise funding for my startup projects for over 10 years but I never managed to raise a single dollar.
During this time, I was also working on open source projects on the side.

One day, someone from my community who I never met gave me $10K worth of crypto because they liked what I was working on.
They later made more donations over the following year; the total amounted to about $25K in crypto. It was 100% free money, no strings attached, they didn't get anything in return except a special thanks mention on one of my projects.

These donations have been life-changing.
I was able to stake the cryptocurrency tokens to gain a special position on a blockchain project. Over the following 3 years, I was able to earn over $100K (just in 'dividends') from that initial $25K investment. I am still earning decent passive income from that original gift (though now it's not enough to live on after crypto crash).
The income allowed me to work on various cryptocurrency and open source projects full time for 3 whole years. I completed several major open source projects during this time.

Now I finally understand the expression "A gift that keeps on giving."
> if they were suddenly deprived of good adblocking on Chrome.

Ok - but that won't happen (at least not yet, given the m3 api available, who knows what google will do long term).

The majority of users won't genuinely notice any difference between an adblocker running on m3 vs m2, and plenty of companies are going to make them.

My point is that despite the push back from the UBO dev (and I sort of agree - this does limit some capabilities, although not nearly as much as he claims) M3 is absolutely not going to kill the adblocker extensions available in chrome.

It just makes them... slightly minus. Which is why I think the name is a good call. I don't approve of the direction google is going, but this is not the deal breaker for any sort of public audience - it's just a talking point among the tech literate.
Coal gas isn’t petrol, it fills the role of natural gas.

I carry an InReach mini in my airplane when flying over wilderness areas. Unfortunately I don’t think I could trust the iPhone. With the Garmin you can press one button and it’ll send out an emergency beacon without having to aim it.
It's not firmware - the issue develops very gradually rather than all at once. This is part of what makes it such an insidious fault, like the boiling frog analogy.
Is there an existing open source effort to recreate that tool?

Are the algorithms open? Does the tool work reliably?

I find it very sad that potentially revolutionary progress is lost like this...
This is correct.

Obviously this will have to change at some point since physical sim is going away but I am unsure how long it will take Google to make the change.

Technically, iOS support on Fi is still in beta even though it works quite well.

Box out competition.

The title is misleading. The filing doesn’t say Apple will “use” 85%.

The actual filing says

“Allocate 85% of its current and future network capacity to support the Services (see further discussion of capacity below)”

This could simply be that Apple is buying up the bulk of the capacity to box out competitors from offering same functionality.

Just like what they do with TSMC.

It isn't lost though is it? Just slightly delayed. Honestly this seems like the lightest possible "our developers need to eat" solution out there. More relaxed than GPL or AGPL or open core. If you're against this then honestly I think you're an unrealistic radical who can be safely ignored.

I agree. That's why, whenever I meet recovering alcoholics, I always send them a few cases of booze, because I know it will help them quit faster.

Same with smokers. If I meet anyone trying to quit, I always leave them with a few boxes of free cigarettes. It's very counter intuitive, like you said, but the more temptation they have, the easier it is for them to quit.
They aren't.

Your missing the point. Spammers call you from a spoofed number so that you think its someone near you based on the area code. I lived just a town over an invisible line in 2009, and ordered a new phone, and got an area code that the only other person I know that has a number in that area code is my wife. (920)

the ONLY calls that call me from that area code are spammers. if I get calls from any other area code, only 20% or so are spammers. Others are sales/marketing for IT companies, etc, and calls from one of the 2 area codes that cover my area where I actually live are usually all local businesses, etc. If I had to guess, I would say 85-90% of the 'spam callers' call and spoof the 920 area code when they dial me. that drastically cuts down on my automated messages about a car warranty that is about to expire.
This prompted me to think about oversizing pv and solar gains, then using a heat pump to extract the excess heat in the summer.

I'd never ask about this, the number of bumps on someone's head, or if the candidate still beats their spouse. However, the best response would be a candidate who would laugh and say, "I think you know enough of my capabilities and personality from this interview process, already"
If I remember my experience correctly, you can only set up an iPhone with esim first if you are a new Fi member.

No, he also makes barbeque sauce.
Thanks for that. I'd always just taken them at face value, since they seem authoritative.
This is where I don’t fully understand what “trust” means here. It kind of sounds like it’s “trusting” that users will be able to profit from the software in perpetuity at the expense of the developer.

Isn’t one of the core ideals of FOSS forking? If you’re certain that no other person could possibly fork a piece of software and provide bug fixes and new features, isn’t that a tacit admission that the primary maintainer is the only person on earth that could do so?

If I were the only person on earth that could write a bit of software, I would not do that for free. It would be downright weird and entitled to expect that from me.

If I wasn’t the only person on earth that could write such code, I would happily watch and encourage the people that prefer to have an Apache 2.0 licensed derivative of the original work.

> So unless you call people in that particular area, you won't be matching their area code, so you won't look like a spammer

You're misunderstanding them too, I suspect. One could equally assume that a call coming from an area code they've never been to, 5 states away is spam - so this trick works if you do not make a lot of calls.
Only the US models have no SIM slot but yes, US iPhones will not be usable without an esim.
If uBlock doesn't provide a compatible extension or if their extension is worse than possible I'd likely just switch to the best alternative which will pop-up. I imagine most users will do the same.
That's not the inverse of the multiplication though. The inverse would be '33' / 2 = '3', and '1234'/2 should then probably raise a ValueError.

There are third-party wireless chargers that can charge your phone, airpods and watch concurrently, but I agree, it seems silly having to deal with many small batteries on a daily basis.

The only long-lasting battery is the iPhone's, but it gained that capability years after it became common in comparable Android phones.

Would it be more ethical if they could but never did release this feature? Because that is essentially what you are advocating for, considering no public company could foot the bill in perpetuity.

The way this probably plays out is by the time the 2 years is up or shortly thereafter this will be subsidized by the gov.

Apple is leaving quite a bit of money on the table here, while simultaneously spending quite a bit. Wipe the entitlement from your eyes and recognize this for what it is.

> I don't see much room for a new language that isn't memory-safe in 2022.

IMHO these are the only valid reasons for unsafe code in a systems language:

1. interfacing with unsafe external code (e.g. call the kernel directly)

2. implement the language runtime/GC itself

3. access hardware capabilities not exposed in the language (e.g. SIMD, GPU, memory-mapped IO, memory barriers)

These are semi-valid to bad reasons for unsafe code:

4. generate new machine code to, e.g. implement a guest language

5. explore the performance ceiling for a very specific code pattern that would otherwise be inline asm

For Virgil, I am at reasons 1 and 2. For Wizard, I am at 4 and 5.
Millions of tons...? It's orders of magnitude less than that.

It's 56.1 grams for both buds and case. For comparison, 2 AA batteries is 46 grams.

They're tiny. In terms of e-waste, they're not even a rounding error. In terms of all devices to worry about, they're essentially last on the list. They're roughly the mass of the most popular consumer disposable batteries themselves.

(If you want to do the math, they sold ~90 million units in 2021.)
I mostly agree with you, but I like the idea of being able to give reasonably smart but unskilled people a bunch of these boxes and an Ikea-style "how to assemble this house" and telling them to get to work. Seems like it'd scale very well for situations where you have a bunch of volunteers and need to build several houses but maybe don't have many experienced builders around.
The ones that are going to be hurting right away are Garmin with their InReach line and Zoleo. This covers the most important thing that backcountry types pay monthly fees and carry an extra device for, which are emergencies, but Apple didn’t mention anything about two way texts which is a secondary but important use. Backcountry hunters will still pay money for now to be able to text home or send a message to the floatplane pilot but that’s not going to last for long. Overall what they showed in terms of positioning the phone to get a good satellite connection looks about as reliable and cumbersome as using an InReach, which is fine.

Today was a real shot at two of Garmin’s profit centres with the Apple Watch Pro also targeting their GPS sports watches.

Huh, yeah, turning on "Reduce motion" does indeed disable bounce scroll in Firefox. Definitely a strange choice on their part! (It doesn't affect it in other apps.)

> I changed my system settings, as I don’t like the default speed and acceleration

I see, that could make sense, if Safari was honoring those changes and Firefox wasn't, in some way. I've got mostly stock settings (slightly bumped up speed and three-finger drag) and it feels spot-on.
It is definitely hit or miss, but I don't find it too annoying to just clean up the small mismatches that crop up sometimes.

"as long as the technique used can be scaled up."
UV umbrellas for summer. People love getting tanned, and you'll see almost nobody protecting themselves against the sun in summer. In 20 years, with 50 degrees Celsius during summer for consecutive weeks, you won't get out of your house in summer (and if you have to, you'll go out using long sleeve t-shirts, a cap and a UV umbrella). Now you're probably laughing... exactly my point.
I'm still working on the landing page, but you did get a rather good idea of what the app does. Essentially you can store in it any information, organized as you whish.
The article is indeed meant for very non tech savvy readers, that's why it's overly simplified. It is meant as a more in depth analysis of the "Secure" card on the landing.
I'm pretty sure Apple uses the TSMC capacity they pay for. To do otherwise would be financial mismanagement.
Did it ever repeat "developers!" loudly?
I stuck with an iPhone SE of the first generation until I really needed multi-sim this year. The form factor is great, no other phone is that small. Battery life was ok, too. Why not stick with hardware that does the job? If it works for him, great. Better for the environment, too. Cheaper as well.
Those devices do not communicate via satellite, so it's really a different thing.
Because there’s a bunch of legacy wiring out there that doesn’t have a ground wire, only hot/neutral.

So if you’re designing an appliance that has to work with these two-prong outlets, especially if it has a metal housing, you want to know which wire is the “shock your customer” one and which is the “probably don’t shock the customer” one.

Not really. In the US you can get standard 92-5/8 and 104-5/8 studs, this is the correct length for 8 and 9 foot walls, you can get a house built with any other size walls if you want but it will cost extra. The drywall comes in panels that will fit (4 foot, the other is 4'6). Doors come in standard sizes widths in 2 inch increments, but they all have a standard height. (bi-fold doors have a slightly different set of standard sizes). There is of course some material that needs to be custom fit on the way, but most of the material is already pre-sized.

This is innovation that has already happened and taken a lot of time away from what is needed to build a house. If you want to innovate, you have to innovate on top of what has already been done.
As a newbie in nuclear fusion, this explanation is the most interesting part:

> Lee Margetts at the University of Manchester, UK, says that the physics of fusion reactors is becoming well understood, but that there are technical hurdles to overcome before a working power plant can be built. Part of that will be developing methods to withdraw heat from the reactor and use it to generate electrical current.

> “It’s not physics, it’s engineering,” he says. “If you just think about this from the point of view of a gas-fired or a coal-fired power station, if you didn’t have anything to take the heat away, then the people operating it would say ‘we have to switch it off because it gets too hot and it will melt the power station’, and that’s exactly the situation here.”
