Legal and ethical are two wholly different concepts. There's quite a few things which are legal and not at all ethical.

Today in many states it's perfectly legal to shoot a native american if you're in a wagon circle. Is that ethical?

Fair use is also a positive defense, which means that only the courts can really say if something is fair use or not.
The interesting aspect of that, is what Google and other authorities do with such data. They can be unlocking all sorts of private trivia, unbeknown to any of the users involved, to an extent far beyond any are suspecting.

That could include such authorities, manipulating or interfering with events and lives, more than anybody would think possible or should be legally allowed.
What about photo and video industry? It is SO maddening to have proprietary incompatible overpriced plugs, cables and adapters everywhere!

I agree with the overall tone in the comments here: yay in general, but what a shame a law needs to specify a specific port for ~iPhones~ devices.

I really like USB-C. It's sooo convenient to charge my notebook, my headphones, my phone, my everything with the same cable. However what bothers me since someone pointed it out to me: for phones, which are used all day in all kind of situations, lightning has a big andvantage over USB-C. It's has no parts inside the port and therefore is harder to break. Maybe we get something like this with USB-D, but hopefully it will take a long time until then. Meanwhile I'll enjoy my Fairphone, which has a replacable USB-C port.
Don't use random Wi-Fi then? Or if you do, have an always on routed VPN?

Don't worry, knowing google they would build this just so someone could get their cushy promotion, then the whole thing will be abandoned within 1 to 2 years max. Corporate dystopia falls apart when met with the apathy at google, no problem.

Totally backwards. Higher operating temperatures lead to longer retention, lower read error rates, and even faster reads and writes. Every aspect of NAND performance is better at higher temperatures.

Hi there,

This might be an off beat chance, but have you had a history of or ever looked into the topic of adult ADHD?

Changing several jobs, jumping between hobbies or projects is textbook ADHD, especially if you don't feel like you can get out of it and describe it as a "huge live hurdle".

That is the same for me. Got diagnosed at 30 two months ago.

If you have a suspicion you might have it, I highly recommend doing a quick online test and listening to podcasts around getting an ADHD diagnosis as well as personal tales from people who have it.

Especially the latter were a real eye opener for me and pushed me to get a diagnosis.

The point is, no amount of effort, book reading, motivational speeches or the like will get you out of this pattern.

ADHD is a neurological dysfunction, hence medication is most effective.
> What are people gonna do with it other than charge their phones or transfer files?

It would at least save me from carrying one power brick + usb cable. Steam Deck (USB C), Switch (USB C), MacBook Pro (USB C) and iPhone is the only odd one out. This does make a significant difference to what I can take with me on holiday.
I’m kind of hoping they ship an EU Edition phone that is a normal phone, but with a dongle welded into the lightning port.

The dongle should have the phone numbers of those who passed this law etched into it.

Just let me keep my Lightning port as an American.
Have you restored any data using this system? A backup isn't a backup unless you've practiced a whole cycle.

Snapshots are incremental, so management of your retention period is an active process and may require combining older snapshots together when you drop them.

With a zfs server on the other end you can zfs send / recv the other way to restore, and it correctly manages deleted snapshots.
Drops by 66% pretty regularly. Nothing there is outside what could be anticipated based on decade-old data.
I never liked UML but I agree time-sequence diagrams can be very helpful.

This is great in the short term, but does the law covers what happens when a superior format is invented in a few years. Are we stuck legislated to the old plug?
Damn near fifty years ago, I had a multivariate calculus teacher who thought it was amusing to provide tests where the curve peaked about 49%. I was lazy and neglectful of doing the homework problems, so I don't blame him for my own performance. But it didn't seem like a good way to run a class.

I should say that he did not curve on 50% and grade on 90%: I think that a 50% was probably a B- or a C. But it was a while ago.

Straw-man argument, as the law won't require retroactively changing the port on existing iPhones.
The connector can still remain the same while the internal changes. USB-C is just the connector head. Look at USB4 that still uses the USB-C head.

Many of your examples don’t seem to fit fame. People may be known locally, but fame requires someone to be widely known which implies a wide geographic range.

Put another way, at what level is the winner of a beauty contest famous? I don’t think people would universally agree except at the extremes. Miss America is famous, the winner of a spring break wet T-shirt contest isn’t barring something unusual happening.
Being graphical is probably not sufficient for a notation to fail; electrical circuit diagrams were/are a successful notation even though there is no obvious lexicographic ordering of the symbols.
Show HN: App to Draw Silly Faces
I created a free Android app (no ads, no accounts) for kids to draw silly faces.

It's easy to use: tap a brush (eye/nose, etc) and on canvas to draw.

The game element is that you can make combinations to discover more brushes. Triangle eye + mouth = tail, etc.

- Built in React Native
- It contains no language, so for all languages
- For all ages.
- Free, no ads, no in app purchases

Created for fun, my kids like it. It has very few users, would be great to get some feedback.

(It's also a prototype for creating a mini wireframing/UX tool with comparable interace. Where you can draw boxes, buttons, etc. But what would be a seperate Show HN once it's live.)
> Why do people think it is a good thing to have this enforced by law is beyond me.

Personally, I am happy to see that some governments still care about consumer protection.
> As a buyer, why would I buy an iTunes movie from someone else and not from iTunes?

Because it is the same thing, but cheaper.

> And as a seller, why would I sell it at a lower price than what it is on iTunes?

Because otherwise people won't buy it from you, they'll buy it from ITunes.

Even if the lower price doesn't make sense for digital media that aren't degraded through use, lower price (that lets you recoup, say, 90% of what you paid) would be needed to make people go through hassle of not just buying it "new."
I spent a good couple of years working with UML and related tech and products (especially from the Rational suite). Besides the fact that I hated it, a big personal gripe I had with it was that noone looked at the UML after the initial review. Ever. We generated the diagrams to fulfill some outdated legal requirement (Sarbanes-Oxley, I think?) for getting listed on a particular stock exchange, but other than that they literally served 0 purpose.

It was a massive waste of time and energy.

Having said that, the sequence diagrams were quite useful.
I got a large power bank (Bluetti EB55) to get me through the expected power cuts this winter. Supports charging from mains or solar while supplying power. Of course at £900 it's hardly a cheap option ...
Of course some films like Fargo (1996) went the opposite direction, claiming in the introductory text that it was "based on a true story which happened in 1987" which drove people crazy trying to figure out what real 1987 event it was based on before the Coen Brothers finally admitted that they were just messing with the audience.
What's Inside a Distroless Container Image: Taking a Deeper Look
A lot of harsh words for UML, and it's not something I use myself much anymore.

But... I have used it for a few projects where I was starting from scratch, and I have to say they were some of the best and easiest projects I've ever delivered.

The act of designing the components, objects and interactions allowed me the time to think out many design problems and unanticipated interactions between the various elements and other systems I was interfacing with. Listing and adding the requirements of each stakeholder made my solution more complete and rounded for version 1.0. And since the design actually followed the implementation fairly closely (a rarity I know), it was one of the smoothest development experiences; and I had some fairly good documentation already produced that allowed me to explain to others how the system worked, and that gave them a step up when supporting it, or adding new features.

Also, since I'd spent the time doing some use cases and talking them through with stakeholders, the non-technical users and testers already had a good grasp of what was being built and how to test.

This was a fairly modest amount of UML documentation that I produced, as I see no value in designing every little detail up front, but that act of designing and thinking through the issues made these projects some of my smoothest deliveries ever. And to this day I've not seen a better successor to UML for picking out and describing bits of your solution. It sure beats the usual rush-to-code and iterate until it approximates that very often happens.
For me, this article comes around more as a designer-influencer production than a form of deep insight.

He writes polarizing content and converts the reaction to "his own service for designers portfolios". Regularly.

>One asks when the deadline is.
The other knows the answer is "ASAP,” so they propose their own timeline.

I always ask when the deadline is. Design is part of the production process. The production process even when I control it (as a PM and PD) is bound to the projected timeline.

>One designs exactly what they’re told.
The other knows what they’re told is just one idea, and explores beyond it.

Again, there is a place and time when you design to spec and exploration is not limitless. Exploration has boundaries.

>One turns in their first or second draft.
The other does as many drafts and explorations as possible within the time allotted, then shares their favorite options.

Actually in high level design thinking, designers "favorite" option has no merit.

Forming a logical design solution over a set of UX research data and actual testing is the winning method.
I don't think randomness would be an issue. Google already assume that people clicking (or not) on ads is a random process.

Randomness is fine, just get enough smart people on it to learn about the distribution etc.

It mandates Type C plug and receptacle and the use of PD. PD 3.0 doesn’t require so many modes, and since there isn’t much choice in chipsets things should work OK as long as the brick provides adequate power.

Read the directive for yourself: https://oeil.secure.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/ficheproc...

I do wish there were type C USB condoms that passed PD only but they are hard to build.

EU previously required USB mini A, and permit wireless (which isn’t completely standardized) so I wouldn’t worry about the “30 years” problem, though it’s a good problem to have: IEC 60320 is over 50 years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320
Tesla's plug support max 250kw charging, while CCS2, the standard in EU supports 350kw max.

The trade off for the CCS2 plug is mainly that it is a bit bigger than other plugs, but it's really nice to have a standard across almost all of Europe.
> By the same token what are examples of where innovation in the connector space helped out?

Power plugs (per country), audio jacks, gas plugs.

Or do you miss the experience of being able to plug your GM car in GM-Approved™ gas stations?
Does no-one remember how there were like 50 different phone connectors in the early 2000s?

AI Bill of Rights Released
There was a research C compiler, maybe related to the meta-compilation effort that became Coverity, that did something like this. It let you attach arbitrary attributes to a variable and then enforce invariants regarding those attributes. The one that caught my eye was tagging checked vs. unchecked user input, so that using such input before checking (or sanitizing) would become a type error. It's a shame that the idea didn't catch on more.
if you agree to my state seceding from the union, sure.
Well i really like magsafe :)
> Also, who cares about magsafe? Only Apple laptops have it.

I wish more laptops had it. My old work HP laptop's USB-C port started having some play, so my monitor wouldn't always connect properly to it. Bump the desk, and the screen would start to flicker. The same monitor / cable works perfectly on other PCs.

My new HP work laptop has the USB-C port so tight, that whenever I need to unplug the charger, it counts as arm day.

And while I, personally, don't do it all the time, it does happen from time to time that I grab my foot in the power cable and drag the laptop with it. I usually realize it quickly enough to not pull it completely off the desk, but it's the kind of fear I never had with my MBP.
Assuming USB-C is the last connector humans invent...
I'm on Gigalixir for my Elixir apps, and would switch to Fly.io if they had a "one-button" migration like they have with Heroku.

To make lightning cables/devices you have to pay apple. To make USB-C you don't
The law does not mandate that USB-C be the only way of charging the device. Simply that it supports it as a charging method (if it supports any wired charging method at all) and that if the device can be charged via cable at voltages greater than 5 volts, or currents greater than 3 A, that it also support USB Power Delivery. Plus there are some labeling requirements, like indicating on the box if the device includes a charging brick or not, indicating minimum and maximum charging wattages supported, etc.
> This is not about making the best technical choice...

Thank goodness for the EU parliament, protecting their citizenry from accidentally being exposed to the best technical outcome? Wouldn't want that. If people can't confidently say that the EU is making the best technical choices then the EU shouldn't be legislating technical outcomes. And they can't say that, because this isn't going to be the best choice - the best choice is flexible and context dependent. There are going to be better options than USB-C in some use cases. Possibly many use cases as technology improves. The legislators can't see the future - if they could they'd make better decisions.

I bet this doesn't have any material difference on waste. People will still lose and throw charges out at the same rate they always have. And manufacturers are going to turn out to be less efficient, the market is absolutely cut-throat at dealing with manufacturing processes that generate unnecessary waste. It won't be better than it is now, and they've locked out anyone doing a cheaper and less material-intensive charger than USB-C.
This is supposed to "prevent e-waste", but I can't imagine how. Like I've switched between iOS and Android, and I didn't just throw all my lightning cables out.

Now with them being made actually useless rather than not what I'm using right now, it's going to create so much e-waste when every iPhone user switches cables.

Seems like it's doing the exact opposite of what it's intended.
Very much agree. The port design of lightning is superior, too bad that now a law mandates Apple to sell the inferior solution. But that’s what you get when laws eliminate competition.
>as a seller, why would I sell it at a lower price than what it is on iTunes?

A seller would do this to undercut iTunes, making a sale much more likely.

>As a buyer, why would I buy an iTunes movie from someone else and not from iTunes

Because the seller would likely price it lower than iTunes.

The real question is: how does this affect the digital goods market overall? Does allowing re-sale make iTunes unprofitable? Does it make movie production unprofitable?
YIFY provides movies of decent quality at reasonable file sizes.

For movies that YIFY doesn't have, 1337x is a good site.
From what I’ve heard, no, but I remember things like Clover being mentioned to get around that limitation.
> Languages that use async/await do not require you to say "async" at the call site.

Nope, but if you start calling an async function from within a non-async function, then that function now has to become async, and all of the callers of that function have to become async. This isn't a problem with the green threads approach.
I don't use any paid streaming services, so forgive me if I'm saying something stupid, but doesn't this:

>Purchased Digital Content will generally continue to be available to you for download or streaming from the Service

mean that you can download a copy of the content you bought? As far as I'm concerned, that's about as close to "owning" as it gets, when it comes to digital media.

If you buy, say, a pair of pliers from a hardware store, and then instead of taking them home you leave them at the store and come back to use them every time you have something that needs plying, and then eventually the store needs to make room for other products and so throws your pliers away, you have no one to blame but yourself for not taking them home for safekeeping when you had the chance.

This analogy could break down if the content has DRM. I don't know if it does, or if it does when it stops working, but that's a different discussion from "Amazon deleted my movie".
Nothing happens-- most connecters on most devices have unused pins.
> do you support persistent tables

Yes

> or time travel

No, but I think the changes that need to be made in order to do so are tractable, so I expect we will eventually (I’m not an expert in this area of the code, so please don’t take this as an official statement).

"PiJuice will use up to just five of your GPIO pins (just power and I2C), the rest are free to diversify your project. The stacking header allows you to continue to use your existing HATs and add-ons with PiJuice." from https://uk.pi-supply.com/products/pijuice-standard

But sure, some people/projects might prefer to shift the hardware to not be attached to the Pi. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a product that does that too, or at worst I presume a basic plastic box (there's probably pre-made ones for the size of various Pi HATs? and of course 3D printing) and some fairly simple DYI wiring to connect the 5 pins through a cable wouldn't be too tricky.
