> Forget satellite SOS and the larger camera, the headline is this: Apple has completely redesigned the internals of the iPhone 14 to make it easier to repair.

I find this line hilarious because it's an example of law of the instrument[0]. iFixit and other activist repair shops treat these devices as if their(the iPhones) purpose is getting a repair and all this talk over they years about iPhone repairability was from that standpoint.

I'm happy that Apple is making the new iPhones easier to repair but I never in my life purchased a brand new device with intention or plan to repair it. Why would anyone try to sell me a device by talking about how easy it is to repair it? What I expect is that it would never need a repair and if it needs a repair the vendor will handle it. Also, iPhones were always the easiest phones to repair because specialists who repair iPhones could be found on every corner. Every repair shop repairs iPhones, so repairing an iPhone was never a real issue but something that repair nerds like to speculate on. It's almost as if the happiest they could have been if Apple shipped the iPhones broken but easy to repair using some cheap generic part.

I had my iPhones replaced, repaired or self services by buying the parts online through the years. It's no accident that iPhones always were best at retaining second hand value.

One could argue that emoji should have never been added to Unicode in the first place. Peaches and butts are images, pictures, illustrations, whatever - but they are not characters. There's no writing system which has a colored drawing of a peach as a character.
During the Bush era, my debate coach in HS made the interesting point that neocon conservatives were more 'post-modern' (a tortured term 20 years later) relative to old-school 'truth-seeking', anti-imperialist Leftists like Chomsky

Its actually scary how many people online seem to fit that description.
The solution is to generate a 960 configuration every year on January 1st, and use it throughout the year. You get to have a new configuration to study, figure out and memorize opening lines, for an entire year.
I'm not sure how much I trust those stats. If you look at parkrun results, 25 minutes is definitely not the top 10%. I imagine you're familiar with parkrun, but just in case: parkrun is a weekly, non-competitive, just for fun 5k -- with millions of participants, and all their stats are online.

I picked a bunch of random events from last week's parkrun, and for most of them, ~>1/3rd finish in <=25 mins and very few of those times are PBs. I'd be absolutely shocked if being able to do a 5k in 25 mins puts you in the top 10% of runners, in fact, I'd go as far as to say, I think the majority of runners could do a 25min 5k -- where "runner" means "someone who runs regularly" (once per week, which parkrun is representative of).

Click a town name in the "event" column on this page to see various results (includes gender and age group) you can also click through to individual profiles: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/results

If we expand the definition of "runner" to include anyone who runs at least once per year, I think maybe you'd get to the 10% figure you're quoting. The other possibility is that the page you've linked is using marathon times and extrapolating out from those to get 5k times, which is not going to produce accurate results.
How “Credit Repair” companies work
It's ironic that you're accusing the parent poster of "Disingenuous BS", when you yourself are engaging in moving the goalposts. The parent post was complaining about how a tweet was unfairly describing a political rally as a "nazi salute", but you're changing the topic to "political rallies doubling up as evangelical revivals" and "psychological manipulation". It's fair to be against this political rally for those reasons, but it's unfair to accuse them of "nazi salute".
I had a friend who went from CC->Berkeley(BS)->Stanford(JD). If you are really looking for credentials, you can spend 5-6 years and get amazing credentials by starting off at CC (this guy completed a lot of CC credits during high school and the summer so he completed his JD in 6 years).

I know, for example, many employers aren't exclusively looking for Ivys or even higher-end universities either.
People have been complaining about the non-pixel graphics but I think that's alright. It's different but it looks nice.

The best description I have seen is "type safe SQL" and it's a default choice for me too. One of the rare occasions where code generation in a Java library doesn't feel like magic and doesn't require littering your code with annotations.
I'm not in anyone's target demographic for making money on SAAS, but I do run Tor with javascript disabled for my at-home personal browsing whenever I can. A surprising number of things work. I would say there are more things broken by just using Tor, than with javascript turned off. Reddit for one, runs just fine for browsing. Plenty of blogs are readable without javascript. A lot of e-commerce sites you can still see prices, etc. If I want video or something, then I do turn on javascript. There is an unbounded amount of stuff to see on the web, so most of the time I just move on from a new site that I come across that doesn't work from tor.
Secrets About Uber's 2022 Hack
Looking at the website the 30 day money-back guarantee is for "any single course". For $1000 I can see only 3 or 4 course bundles. That's covered in the FAQ, on the purchase page and https://courses.baeldung.com/p/terms#refund-policy "In the case multiple or combined courses were purchased, a refund can only be processed for a single course, chronologically if applicable." If you emailed them claiming the courses are only worth 10$ like you did here it can be taken as insult, not the best strategy when asking for money back.
That's practical, but not really equivalent. Having the same in cash gives you a different set of options.

The proponents of the Green New Deal in the US, for example, rarely mention maintaining or improving the standard of living as an imperative goal of the project, at least from the side of the carrot; there's plenty of talk on the stick side that everyone will have a cataclysmic fall in their standard of living if the status quo stays.

For example, House Resolution 109 of the 116th Congress[0] mentions "[ensuring] prosperity and economic security" as an objective, but being sandwiched between "[achieving] net-zero greenhouse gas emissions" and "[promoting] justice and equity" it's difficult to see it as more than hand-waving and one that won't be forfeited for those other goals once the rubber meets the pavement.

Bernie Sanders' website on the issue[1] doesn't mention the standard of living at all among the Key Points. AOC's[2] does but in the same way as HR 109, which makes sense given that she was the sponsor behind it. The New York Times explainer[3] on the issue does not even discuss whether the average person's material standard of living will change.

The number one goal from all sources is the categorical imperative of going "net-zero" or "100% renewable", without asking or answering the question of "at what cost at the margins" (again, other than the undefined cost of calamity), which is what I'm really interested in addressing; because it's going to be a very hard sell to tell the people of the developed world to scale back on their standard of living, and a great moral injustice to tell the people of the yet-to-be-developed world that they cannot take advantage of cheap, abundant energy sources.

It's also widely known that if a modern super GM were to play against Tal, they would outright refute the vast majority of his play. It's hard to find a super GM that has not analyzed Tal games as part of their training, and therefore already know the answer, but many of them instantly notice Tal's blunders when presented with his games. So the Tal approach gets harder and harder every year - finding a line that is sub-optimal and therefore not analyzed to death, but also solid enough to maintain winning chances against top players.

The average person doesn't use desktop computers anymore, hell the younger generation barely use laptops.

Also a high end desktop computer might pull 400 W from the wall while gaming, but that's not something the average person does 8 hours a day. Light work on a desktop computer with a monitor should be around 80 W on average.
The idea is you need to make some suboptimal plays that you know aren't optimal, but where you expect to have an advantage over the opponent, either because you've trained on this weird type of line and they haven't, or because you're stronger than them to begin with and neither of you has trained on this weird line.

It actually is analogous to poker but not really poker as most people know it. It's analogous because poker is also done by training with engines; and you often want to make moves you know are suboptimal from your training because you believe it will exploit the opponent's suboptimal play.
I can't wait until these kinds of tools are usable live. I'd love open worlds with unique character interactions and scenery. I'm always incredibly disappointed when I've exhausted a game's content or when portions of content are obviously built on some simplistic pattern, either visual or interactive.
30 year fixed-rate is very much the norm here in Denmark. There was a period of experimentation leading up to 2007, but I think fixed rate is very popular. I'm certainly happy that's what we went for when we bought our first house two years ago.
I did not reply as if the person were being a smartass. I replied indicating the answer did not provide me the information I had asked for. The original question was utterly specific, so I asked again for an answer to that.

"Volatile or non-volatile?" means exactly the same as what I asked. Repeating it would not add any more information.

To assume I was calling anybody stupid or a liar is an extremely uncharitable interpretation. The reasonable one is that I did not get an answer to what I asked, exactly as I said.

> Did you honestly think a "pretty big policing reform person" wouldn't be aware of George Floyd?

It seemed improbable, but profound ignorance is not exactly unheard of on the internet.

In any case, it seemed manifestly true that /u/ch4s3 had either not seen or chosen to ignore the example that /u/xnyan provided because he didn't refer to it at all. "Can you provide an example?" is what you say when you think no example has been provided. It is not what you say when you are aware that an example has been provided but you think the example is deficient. What you say in that case is something like: "The example you provided is deficient because... Can you provide a better one?"

> Here's why that was wrong:

Here is why you are wrong: if you give someone an example and they respond by saying "Can you give me an example?" you should not be surprised when you leave your interlocutor somewhat nonplussed, and you should be equally unsurprised when they, being human, respond with a certain amount of frustration at your inability to communicate your intentions more clearly. It's like if you gave a homeless person a pizza and they respond by saying, "Can you give me a pizza?" Dude, I just gave you a pizza, what more do you want? Oh, this is a ham-and-pineapple pizza. I wanted pepperoni! If you think a snarky response is inappropriate in a situation like that, well, we'll just have to agree to disagree about that.
Is there an online service where I could use the features of Stable Diffusion to create images? I don't think my gtx970 meets the specs needed but I am a total noob and not sure.

To understand where the plot picks up, you should (re)play MI1 and MI2.

A few things I understand were borrowed from Curse of MI, but you don't need to know them beforehand. They were borrowed because they are charming and funny, not because they add something to the canon (cannon?).

NPR does not credulously report on such matters. Duke's claims were thoroughly covered in the original NPR story. So obviously NPR does report on racist behavior at BYU, when it appears to be true.

Have Duke's claims been put into a report anywhere? It sounds like you accept claims of racism over a report based on actual evidence and dozens of interviews. Even when that report is widely reported in media that has egg on its face for having jumped the gun.

Can you point to Duke's evidence, or share what more could be shown by BYU/NPR/NBC to change your mind?

Yes, I block JavaScript very aggressively with NoScript. I cannot in good conscience browse the web with JavaScript enabled anymore because of the insane amount of ads, trackers, and just poorly written site scripts slowing down my browser.

The main reason I do it is because of speed. Sites load an order of magnitude faster, they are not able to “scroll jack” or automatically play videos, and another huge bonus is ad blocking, since most ads are implemented using JavaScript.

Whenever I come across a website that has a great non-JS fallback (Google, NPR’s text-only, Apple’s marketing pages, HN), I think it’s a sign that the website developer really cares about their users. It’s not just for crazy people like me, it’s also paramount for users with disabilities who need to rely on screen readers (they prefer non interactive versions of websites). There are also folks who use old computers for financial or ideological reasons (i.e., opposition to e-waste or environmental concerns) who must disable JavaScript in order to make browsing modern websites pleasurable.

I applaud your efforts to maintain the lite mode for your site! It’s such a big deal to me.
> a multi-polar that in essence agrees to the best possible outcome, even as we explore it, seems perfectly within the interests of all

Multi-polarity is generally code for regional hegemony. That's great if you're the regional hegemon. Not so much if you're the hegemon's neighbor.

America is a maritime power. These (think: Carthage, Venice, Portugal, the Dutch and Britain; counterfactual: Japan) have historically relied on trade, and trading outposts, to project power. As such, they're a natural friend of small countries resisting regional hegemony.
Not just VPN providers or other paid services. Open proxies on the internet are bad for everyone.
None if it made it into EmuTOS. EmuTOS is built off the GEMDOS release that got GPL'd when Caldera released (some) of the old DR assets around y2k.

I have looked for concurrent C/PM sources before and never found them but I don't think they'd be useful at this point.
But why

The Workflow automation part is sort of cool, I'm a big fan of low/no-code tools for people to pipe data around without needing too much technical expertise. But at the same time this can also become extremely wasteful.

Here, it seems like you're automating the process of generating images and registering them as unique so they can be monetized in the event that any of them prove to be popular, which is like doing a tremendous amount of computation to pick random numbers for lottery tickets.

I see this a lot with Ethereum and similar smart contracts. There's tremendous automation possibilities, but what is this obsession with turning everything into a tradeable asset?
So why claim that America wants freedom at the expense of everyone else?
Not sure nothingness even exists.

All we know is that everything is information, whether material or immaterial and we perceive some of it.

We only exist because existence exists as a concept.

Likewise Time and space stem from heterogeneous information.
Existence introduces that heterogeneity but how?
Before existence, even the concept of nothingness does not exist. Actually, there aren't even any concepts. So no entropy. Even if it's deemed to be minimal, what drives it to increase? Why can it even increase? (and that's for a closed system anyway... And we need to reason at a meta-level rather)

So then maybe existence just is and is malleable/mutable. The default is not nothingness but infinite fullness. The infinite sum of probabilities.

Then multiple verses exists but their sturdiness depend on the realized probabilities. (our universe might not be very sturdy compared to some others).

Could be different laws of physics altogether etc.

The definition of a universe could have to change anyway... (might not be material in our sense, which is just what we mostly consciously perceive with our 5 senses e.g. Our imagination could be a universe)

Just thinking out-loud. Somewhat philosophic, meta-physic.
Not really, actually. Most ultra runners are over 40 so he is pretty young and hopefully has a long career in front of him. Still extremely impressive of course.

There's no concrete black and white answer here. I'd bet a small percentage of people might hold a startup failure against you for some irrational reason.

But the vast majority of experienced people in the industry understand that a very large percentage of startups don't survive more than a year or two and if you were able to execute technically, that's what matters.
People are discussing same graduation year, same school, same loan scenarios here.

It's more about someone who forgoes something so that they pay off the loan, vs someone who does not forgo said thing, but ends up getting both (the loan and the thing).

Eg: imagine one has an extra $1000 today and 10k of student loan. Could make 10 fun choices at $1000 each or I could pay off my student loan. If I choose to take the fun, I get both the fun and the load paid off. If I do the former, I do not get the fun. It actually becomes more exacerbated if someone did something with a net profit such as putting $10k down on a house for example. Now they have the equity in the asset _and_ the debt forgiveness. Whereas the person who paid off the loan themselves does not have the equity.
Good question, I also questioned myself why
Sounds like a way to emphasise preparation even more.
I think Naomi Wu's Big Red Switch Box is better. With a seemingly dead drive, an adversary may still try to rubber-hose an access method out of you on the assumption that there's some special sequence to required to gain access. A simply dead drive is suspect, especially given the prevalence of ideas like port knocking, etc.

With the Big Red Switch that throws sparks and emits smoke, the adversary may still inflict punishment on you, but they have no illusions that they can torture you into revealing "the secret way to access it".
