I don't like what this does for repair, but on the flip side, I don't like how the pro-repair "side" completely ignores the legitimate anti-theft and anti-fraud implications of part locking, and acts as if it were from pure spite ignoring that these are among the most stolen objects ever made - and with some of the most widely-circulated fraudulent parts ever made.

It started with iCloud Locking, which made sense - you couldn't just flip a phone that you stole. So, thieves turned to selling the parts instead or trying to social-engineer people into removing iCloud Locks, and there is actually a lot of corruption within phone repair stores (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ws3YptLmLQ). So, the next step is... serialize. Make the parts obviously unsuitable for a fly-by-night swap.

Could Apple do a better, more pro-repair job of it? Absolutely - but they aren't going to be motivated to do so when the pro-repair side acts as though it is pure unmitigated spite and hatred for repair that they are doing it.

Same situation with the self-repair program. Apple stated it was the same parts, and same tools, and same prices they and their partners use, on a non-profitable program. People are apparently shocked that owning tools makes repairing in bulk cheaper, and that Apple doesn't use cheap prying tools to remove screens. Who would've thunk? And now they are angry that the tools aren't provided for free, that the prices aren't cheaper than the Apple Store gets them for, and that Apple doesn't just provide guitar picks for screen removal. They're never going to win any legislation with that attitude.

Edit for @lopis:

For your first point, I would say that implementing that was redundant, because how are you ever going to unlock a stolen part anyway without their "system configuration" step?

For your second point, there's really no way to know whether a part is authentic, unless Apple knows that they shipped it out or received it. Any fake part can lie, and say "I am part XYZ123," or use a borrowed digital signature from a real part. The serialization lock has an anti-counterfeiting value by greatly restricting where legitimate parts come from, regardless of what I think of it.

> In over 8 years, that space and sat empty in the downtown area.

Empty properties that once had a grocery store in them are often that way because the property is under a restrictive covenant preventing any use as a grocery store for some absurdly long period of time (decades, usually)[1]. It's a weirdly unique thing about grocery stores, and can be really harmful to communities where it's just not practical to build new grocery store buildings (and grocery store buildings don't always translate well to other kinds of retail).

It's a common enough problem that it's banned in some places[2].

I am not sure your software has been assimilated into a proprietary blob. Rather, it's been sliced into its constituent parts and those parts have been tagged by the proprietary blob.

Your code isn't being run by Copilot, as such; it's been categorized in a way that allows partial retrieval without the license or attribution. This might seem like a distinction without a difference, but it's kind for a ship-of-theseus problem; probably nobody is running any of your programs in their entirety, but it's very possible that bits of your code have found your way into other people's programs. How do you distinguish between contributions that are uniquely yours, and those which are just helper functions or cobbled together from other example code, eg in documentation or from a book or Q&A website?
Please just be careful. I'll be delighted if I can save you from the situation I ended up creating with knee braces.

Returning to running after an injury, I did the same thing with a brace on the damaged knee, and it was a real life saver at first. Then after a month or three, my other knee started hurting. I realized my body naturally compensated for the first brace by putting more strain on the unbraced knee. Then I tried two braces and it was good at first, then things deteriorated further and both knees would hurt when I ran.

Now I run without any braces.

Of course, it completely depends on your situation, but the best general advice I received about running:

1. Listen to your body (duh!) and don't ignore signals

2. Be relatively gentle with your body and ramp up slowly over a long period of time (months). I am a distance runner, ideally 4-10 miles.

In hindsight I wish I'd gone to a sports medicine doctor or some kind when the pain first started. Stupid stoicism.

Well ok but people have been making games forever and its still hard to make games on certain platforms. We need to democratize assembly and calculus.
It is very common to see API keys in urls for access to what are essentially flat files. Thus, fairly trivial to change from:

https://127.0.0.1/file.csv

to

https://127.0.0.1/file.csv?apikey=abc123

This could allow client specific quotas, and easy adoption with maintained projects in minutes. Thus, defective and out-of-maintenance projects would need manually updated or get a 404.

- Try to build zig program

- Wrong zig version... Ooops

Docker is (also) useful because you can declare all your system dependencies, no programing language alone can do that.

That said Docker is more or less useful depending on the language. If you need many system libs or external software for test / deploy, it's a god send.

I've been playing with Zig for a few months... Don't have a strong opinion, but I generally use containers for dev and CI.
This is not a different use case. This is just an example how pushing for BEVs makes no sense. It does not work and it does not scale. BEVs are pushed only by nonsensical policies of people who lives in gated communities and have no idea about real world. BEVs are surviving on subsidies and are dead end technology without future. Like 3DTV. It used be hype too, now nobody knows that it even existed.
There are 2 causes of diffraction spikes:

1. The hexagonal mirrors. Trade off is larger mirrors, and the ability to fold the telescope.
2. The struts holding the secondary mirror. Basically can't get rid of this without a very different telescope design.

Causes of both are the best design for getting a lot of light into a space telescope's sensors. In practice has less impact on the science than you might think. The diffraction spikes are much fainter than the main image. It's only bright foreground stars - which the James Webb isn't trying to image anyways - that cause visible spikes.
yes because there are always will be some criminals in population, and you want to keep the system bad so that others' wont ever think of committing crime, especially juveniles and first time offenders
Right. The problem as I outlined for me, personally, is that the various IMAP clients I've tried on Android show me the "deleted" folders. So whatever they are named, they clutter up my folder UI. My only hope is to add some additional folders/organization I don't really need, tucking them away in a somewhat less annoying place. I've been using Outlook for Android, which expands all folders in the UI, which was fine with the system I had, but with the additional folders, is getting to be unwieldy.

It's also wrong. There have now been large-scale initiatives to reproduce papers, and they're getting higher failure rates than 14%.

The statistics underlying all of this make a number of implicit assumptions that may or may not be true IRL (for example: that journals publish papers independent of the salaciousness of claims made within them). If Science picks out only the top-5% most-sensational claims for publication, then you can't assume that a 95% CI is a safe threshold. You've probably got to increase it to a much higher value to have any prayer of getting past the inherent bias in such a process.
Also, there's a LOT of illegal streaming services now that are much more convenient. They offer all shows and movies from any platform, better interface than Netflix and lower subscription cost, if any — often they are completely free and are monetized with ads.

May it's something that is blocked or just not so popular in first world countries, but most of my Russian acquaintances use these services almost exclusively.

This is so hilariously untrue I’ve never even seen anyone make this claim before. Tens of thousands of engineers are known to have died digging canals with their bare hands.

Sure some folks like Mikoyan got lucky, but forcing scientists into slave labor is hardly an accomplishment to be proud of.

How would we use a US merchant fleet during war? Maybe I just don't understand how that fleet would be useful in a war. Does the US merchant fleet really have military grade vessels and military grade weapons systems?

> All I'm left with on your list is congestion, and that'll remain

Smart car sized AEVs, rather than Hummer sized AEVs. Individual "pods" the size of motor cycles, rather than cars.

Today we all buy "peak usage cars". i.e. "Once a quarter I drive 300+ miles", "Once a week I drive my whole family to the park/hike/...", "I'm not yet an off-roading type of person, but might as well spend the extra $10k just incase I wanna get into it. (never gonna get into it)", "What about something that will go fast on the track, just incase I need that". Then 99% of the miles this giant 5+ person car with storage will ever drive is 1 person trips to and from work bumper to bumper.

When the car isn't owned, you don't need to buy "peak usage cars". You can order a car sized for the usecase.

This will reduce a lot of congestion!

Page 20 shows net income (profit) was $4.002B, which is not far from $3.541B revenue from membership fees. I expect profit to be a little bit higher for 2020 to 2022 years due to volatility in consumer goods prices due to all the stuff going on.

But as you can see, these are increases measured in the tenths of a percentage in profit margin, which would not indicate that Costco leadership is trying to fleece customers any more than they have been in the past.

Nah I don't have kids I am way happier working from home. I can spend more time with my partner, and when she and I both have a quiet moment we can make tea/coffee together and have a short break in our work day. I can do things like fold or hang laundry during meetings. I save money and so much time and energy by not commuting. I like going into the office occasionally for a change of environment and to have access to some of the things in the city after work, but I want that maybe one day out of every two weeks

One of my friend groups has established a nose touch as a similar (though perhaps less...rude) signal. If you have a point you'd like to make while someone else is speaking, touch your finger to your nose and keep it there. The speaking party is expected to relinquish the conversation soon so the nose toucher can speak their point while it's still relevant.
If you're good with risk/reward you generally don't do crime (at least, not the kind that doesn't already leave you in the kind of minimum security-style prison being proposed here).

In 2015 the average robbery netted less than $2,000 while the average sentence length was almost 10 years.

Risking 10 years of your life for $2,000 isn't something that people who understand risk/reward will do, how bad things are while you spend those 10 years is basically a rounding error compared to just how terrible of an idea it already is.
Contribute to documentation, that's a good place to start and constant effort is needed to keep things up to date :)

I'm not saying I'm going to hand my kid a horse and say good luck, nor that you should do so, but the downside of freedom is generally exactly what you say: that the potentiality for danger exists.

More free kids probably means more dead kids. Get a bad dice roll and the kid is dead and now you're in jail for some form of neglect induced manslaughter. Get a good dice roll and the kid gets life experiences, confidence, and more ability to navigate the world. Don't roll the dice at all -- maybe the kid locks up and can't rise to the challenge later in life when they meet challenges that threaten their life.

Life is a gamble. What I find ever more frustrating is the legislation and the child welfare organizations and courts increasingly take it out of the parents hands to determine what level of freedom and risk is appropriate for their children. I'm not sure there is any 'right' answer, but if there is a threshold I think we've long past moved beyond it towards the point of paranoia.

I can't relate to this statement at all. I actually enjoy grocery shopping. I look forward to it every week. It gives me an opportunity to pick out what I want to eat or make during the week. I love cooking and discovering new food, so it's a bit of a hobby. I know its incredibly inefficient and something that I could do faster ordering online, but shopping for food is weirdly nostalgic and human to me. Procuring food, even though it's still within the structure of industrialized grocery, is the last thing in my life that hasn't been completely digitized and I find it pleasantly inefficient and archaic.

I mostly shop a Trader Joes, aside from other specific things I may need at a specialty store.
The contemporary need for dual earners is bad for child raising, but that's because the amount of work does not leave time for child care, not for any reason of gender or sex; The vast majority of time spent raising children can be done a person of any gender and/or sex. Also, child raising being done by a couple is itself sub-optimal; Communal child-raising is a better approach.
They mention unprotected left turns. I'm really curious how this will be handled in LA because there are a lot, and if you aren't at least a little aggressive, you will miss lights constantly.

just ban all Indian IPs from the website on firewall.

proper solution would be to use DNS to forward all Indian traffic to one of the local VPCs.

The idea is to rate-limit users - let them pull blacklist.txt only once a day, so you serve the file and add requestor's IP to denylist on the firewall. So that any subsequent requests are blocked by firewall

> But the whole of their nuclear industry and several others were built on NKVD theft.

What do you mean? They didn't have world-class scientists? They didn't compete in thermonuclear weapon race, with test of their own design (Sloika)? They didn't built world first nuclear power plant for the grid in Obninsk? They didn't participate in particles research, e.g. with invention of Tokamak? Did they steal all of that? Or you're just saying that whatever they did, early on they used most important data from spying? Learning from others, and spying for your adversaries both predate USSR by millenniums.

> And the all of it was fueled by grain stolen from Ukraine

You mean, different part of the same country specialized in different activities? Which grain was stolen - and by whom - from Ukraine (you mean, Ukrainian SSR?) when nuclear research was going on, mostly after WWII?

Then you read nearly nothing of the closed city system, which was also part of GULAG. Was there a lot of idiotic suffering involved and a lot of people killed by the system? Yes. It doesn't mean they had nothing left and had to spy for everything.

And the reason I mentioned the "euphemism" is that they got really lucky - other teams also went through the same system, but for example Yakovlev OKB wasn't censured, whereas MiG OKB probably avoided digging canals only because MiG-3 cleaned some of the bad reputation they got from MiG-1 and for a time both were the major planes for certain categories of air war available in USSR (high altitude intercepts).
Is there a way in which the monopoly is causing food to be denied to individuals?

The way I see it is that any food desert either exists because it is not profitable or because nobody has taken the initiative to offer a profitable service. Obviously I could be wrong, but I have a hard time seeing how a megacorp is denying access to food.

If you're complaining about unit tests and your unit tests arent unit tests in the first place, then no wonder you won't like TDD as a design approach.
