If I were in charge of Apple, I'd coax a few other big names in tech to join forces and fund some sort of "search consortium." Considering the ad-ridden, privacy-hostile, customer-service-less and unfocused state of Google today, I don't think Google would survive that. A browser made by a "search consortium" with deep pockets whose sole purpose is to provide a quality search engine... would steamroll Google.

All of Apple's business models are based on a walled garden philosophy
which is incompatible with a successful search business

That truly is the problem: if Apple makes a search engine, Apple's instincts will guarantee that search engine will remain niche. An Apple search engine is a search engine with a consumer company logo plastered on its homepage, an inherent privacy conflict (regardless of their privacy initiative, not good to use the same company for both your OS and your search engine), and a question mark as to how much attention Apple will pay it, and for how long.
uhm, no, no you won't.

Climate models are very conservative in terms of the coding and approaches, but the old Fortran is used because 100's of eyes have picked over it for problems and it's as accurate as it possibly can be.
Just got told about tinygo on another thread where I was saying rust is the obvious only choice. But tinygo looks nice. I've written very little go professionally, and rust only for a few months more. Go does seem super easy. But rust doesn't really seem hard either. And the fearless concurrency is really attractivento not have to think much about data races too much.

Either one is nicer than c++ which I have a quarter century of experience at.
The same way we did in 1995?
Nation states don't get hungry. Similarly to 'target neutralization' being called inhuman description of murder, both terms are about exactly what they say they are.

People being hungry near you is an 'individual problem', but with police intact you're roughly fine (under assumptions). If your country is facing food security crisis, it will likely spread to other domains and you are not fine.
The only reason? Really?

Is Biden putting forth climate proposals that would actually change things? No, he isn't. Is OAC? No. Is anybody? No.

Why not? Because they all know that nobody will put up with the pain it would cause - not even the blue states.
One of the bigger complaints about AI art generation is that "oh, it'll become a closed loop system, and then we'll all be sitting at our chairs watching a neural network spew art all day while human artists starve to death". This is kind of funny because, if Public Books' article here is even remotely true, the existing publishing system is already a closed loop. Publishers only commission or purchase works that match the particular taste profiles that are already trained into the sales data. If you want to make something new, the publishing companies have already boycotted and cancelled you.

I agree with you that not wanting to see transphobic content is a reasonable position. And yet, I've had a number of people tell me that I'm against free speech for this belief. Heck, I've got a nonbinary friend who teaches at a local university and TPUSA kids all take their class specifically so they can harass my friend with bigoted speech and then whine about their free speech being under attack if anything is done about it.

People are weird.

I agree that that's what Arduino thinks the market is, but I disagree that their conceptual market will buy this.

Arduino-branded hardware is typically 5x the cost of the clones (remember, it's OSH) at no noticeable improvement in quality. DIN-rail mountable arduino clones and modules with I/O isolation that run on 24V power already exist at very reasonable price points, and from reputable dealers such as Automation Direct. I've used ruggedized modules such as Industruino (although their prices have definitely gone upmarket) and they're nice. IME, the only people who buy actual Arduino hardware are either beginners who don't realize that the much less expensive clones are every bit as good, or business buyers who don't really care, because it's not their money.

But maybe I'm wrong and there's enough of a price-insensitive market to make this a success. I certainly hope so. I'm a freelancer, so the bigger the market, the better for me :-)

I have designed & built an arduino clone-based product that mounts on DIN rail because the hardware it communicates with also does. Multiple installations running large machine control applications without a hitch. The clones are fine.
No, courts have made it clear that sending EU IP addresses to the US is illegal unless you can prove that the US government can't intercept it or someday force you to log them. No one the US is immune to subpeona, so no one can comply with that requirement.

This point is invalidated by looking at the schools their employees went to.
Seriously? Analyzing data at the country level and claiming to have achieved decoupling is an egregious logical error that ignores our global trade network. Yes the US economy can grow without burning fossil fuels because someone else burns it for us. Decoupling can only be analyzed at a global scale and anyone who claims otherwise is trying to fool you.
Interesting comment on gluten consumption. In my case, it appears cumulative. (I'm not celiac, so far as I know.) I've been following a non-gluten diet for fifteen years at this point, and I can now tolerate at least a small amount of gluten without the effects I used to have.

I used to get injections to diminish my hay fever symptoms. I finally mostly grew out of hay fever around the age of forty, though I'm still allergic to horses and cats, if I have direct contact.

Don't those injections comprise increasing challenges to the immune system using the allergens themselves, to make it less prone to mount a histamine response (i.e. runny nose, itchy eyes)?
There is an option for a service provider not to store the IP address anywhere.

For users with accounts the standard ToS can handle it.
Maybe I’m getting confused with GDPR, anyway I think interpretation of these laws that the stop the internet from working completely is usually incorrect in my experience.
If you enjoy reading Rust code, you can see some examples I have...

1. This example [1] compares a SIMD-accelerated implementation of an algorithm vs the naive implementation. This is usually referred to as an "oracle".

2. This example [2] tests an XML document object model library. The tests construct a sequence of operations to apply to a document ("add an element", "delete an element", "move an element" etc) and then assert properties that you expect to be true for a DOM tree (a parent and child are always cross-linked, for example)

50% savings to replace a managed service with a self-managed instance (trust me, even if things are fully automated there will still be gray failures, weird hiccups, congestion events, etc) doesn’t sound like a great idea for most companies.
I don't know about that. Siemens S7 PLCs are not capable of online edits and they have a massive install base.

In the Rockwell / Allen-Bradley world, almost all PLCs support online edits.
How do you collect consent from people before you receive their IP addresses?
I've tried both sides of the "id" naming issue when designing databases and I can say from experience that using plain "id" as a column name is not a good idea.
This is a huge oversimplification but my recollection is, there is a design arm of the IKEA structure which is a non-profit. They create and own all of the designs and IP related to products, which a different IKEA subsidiary then licenses and pays royalties on, essentially negating much/all of the margin of the finished good.
Anthropomorphizing animals is probably a good thing. Maybe we can gain some sympathy for fellow living things. The people like Joe Rogan that say it's 'dangerous' to anthropomorphize are, well, people like Joe Rogan.

WARC.
I'm... honestly not sure. I think I got the right word, but I don't know a breath of Japanese, so I might have copied the wrong one. At any rate, the results of trying it just now were seriously underwhelming.
+1 for music. I have observed that every day that feel unproductive (self-interruptions, getting up for nothing, start-and-stop on work tasks), it's because I forgot to start a good playlist in the morning.

In contrast, if I have the music blasting (rap, techno, rock, anything really) then I can accumulate hours of consecutive work, and get into the flow state.
Espressif has an advantage that they don't have on board flash. That boosts yield and volume per wafer. At this point I won't be doing new designs with STM32 because ST can't deliver.
So, to clarify, I am not arguing that food insecurity and hunger are two separate things (even though to me it still sounds like some sort of newspeak). My question was more about the speed with which that term became deployed everywhere.
That is not the comparison at all, and while I have to assume you are commenting in good faith, it is really hard to do so here.

The difference Levine is pointing out is between the type of person operating the exchange. It is not the comparison between janitor and CEO at a fortune 500 company.

A "true believer" will cause just as much (or per Levine's assertion: more) damage as a "sophesticated crypto cynicist", but one will at least understand financial fundamentals while the other brings none of the learnings from running any kind of investment or banking firm.
Honestly, I think if the GDPR had been around before HTTP, we would have seen HTTP as the unreasonable part in this system.

You don't have to make a direct TCP/IP connection for two people to communicate. We had systems like Usenet and UUCP that replicated data through a series of servers. Even today, when you use email, you talk to your email provider who talks to the recipient's email provider, and they have no need to share your personal IP addresses in the process. Some providers used to include this in Received: headers, but many today do not, rightly seeing it as a privacy concern. And even on HTTP we had (and still have, in some cases) mirrors, where legally-unrelated entities host copies of each others' data. Someone in the EU can visit http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/linux/Documentation/ and never have their connection known to the US-juridiction host of TLDP.

It is both socially sensible for these providers to consent to sharing their own infrastructure IP addresses with other providers (but not share their customers' IP addresses) and legally practical for them to make that consent under the GDPR.

Why should it be the case that when you visit my personal website, which I happen to self-host, I have access to your IP address? I don't want that information. I don't even get that information when using higher-level services like Hacker News or Twitter or GitHub, even though those services operate over HTTP. It's weird that I get it, honestly.

I understand there's a huge planetary investment in HTTP, and so the collision of abstractly-reasonable privacy rights with that reality is an extremely hard engineering and policy problem. But that doesn't make the privacy rights unreasonable.
Apple isn't starting on the same planet in terms of infrastructure. The actual search stuff would be the tip of the iceberg in terms of what they need to build to get to parity with Google in search

I am only 50. I have only been legally working for 34 years. I have been advised by HR at various companies to avoid relationships with coworkers for more than "the last ten years".

While I find the notion of "inappropriate relationships" amusing and only really serving the interests of employers, I still consider it all-advised to have sex with coworkers. This really only matters where people have power or have a career to think about. People with low-accountability roles need not worry about it.

Regardless, I encourage single people to look outside of the workplace.

My own experience is that there is more than "a minuscule minority of bad bosses" that lead to problems.
Is there any pathway to creating something that's like Arduino but suitable for professional use? The primary benefits of such a solution would be 1) Freely reuse code and open source ecosystem 2)"Professional Grade" technical viability and reliability, and it would be suitable for people who want to handle support by themselves and do not want to pay the entry price for professional software and tooling.

Right now there's a lot of new IoT devices being put on the market and a large number of them are undoubtedly based on Arduino, but of course, there are supposed reliability and code issues with it.

However, people write and open source so much drivers and example code for Arduino. Wouldn't it be nice if the Arduino platform could become "production ready" so that people can actually leverage these drivers and example codes in their own projects instead of having to rewrite drivers for every combination of MCU and peripherals?

Ideally, making a product with Arduino shouldn't be a derogatory statement about its quality.

OK, if the people running the show are no better than "you" than does that imply merit doesn't rise to the top? If we aren't in a meritocracy, what does that mean for wealth distribution?
It's amazing that some people are so arrogant that they think humans are the only species capable of playing and being anything but bots that respond to stimulation.

It's equally ignorant to assume they don't have emotions as it is to assume they do. We literally don't know, but the harm in assuming they don't is people get a free pass to be cruel without guilt. If you assume they do then maybe you'll think twice about torturing animals or destroying their habitats.
Iron Maiden's adaptation of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner comes close. You have to get into the original work and perhaps have similar life experiences to appreciate it I suppose.

This started me wondering how Shorts/Reels/etc play into that paradigm. They're a major part these sites these days.

But they're shorter, smaller videos with tighter compression. 1min ~= 5MB, and it's easier to mix people through a pool of these (even allowing for content skews) with a little 200TB edge cluster able to hold 76 years of contiguous programming. Probably more efficient than full-format videos.
Chile is already being ruined. Pay close attention to the lithium triangle as it expands and the state the planet is left in after being mined

https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/02/01/south-america-s-li...

Why is lithium extraction bad for the environment?
Any type of resource extraction is harmful to the planet. This is because removing these raw materials can result in soil degradation, water shortages, biodiversity loss, damage to ecosystem functions and an increase in global warming.

But when we think of extraction, we think of fossil fuels like coal and gas. Unfortunately, lithium also falls under the same umbrella, despite paving the way for an electric future.. Lithium can be described as the non-renewable mineral that makes renewable energy possible - often touted as the next oil.
> If you believe otherwise, where's your data?

A gross but meaningful estimate could be per-capita evolution (though there are other factors, such as not leading the economy which gives you advantage to catch up).

> going to work when one isn't able to work at full capacity is called "presenteeism"

I do not fundamentally disagree with this. I do know performance is not exclusively tied to the number of hours worked. And also burnout can do bad things to you. But if you have a whole country doing more in a sustained way, probably the cost/benefit is not proportional to the extra hours but it will show a trend overall.
It's a law that deals with privacy of data both online and offline. As a result it's only 11 chapters written in a surprisingly simple language.

As laws go, it's fine.
The idea that this type of information would be shielded from a legal warrant (or local equivalent) is silly.
Ironically, before Twitter validated people, people relied _more_ on "these fools" because no one trusted anything outside of university and media websites

And in the copernican revolution I probably wouldn’t have believed in heliocentrism and lost almost nothing in life, but it wasn’t casual observers who changed that world either, it was people who dedicated their life to it, akin to the “ checkers, journalists, and other so-called authorities” you mention.

Cool! What about a model based completely on the "history" as a list of states of the document over time?

There is no "undo" or "redo" operation, we only have "browse backward/forward in time".

If you are browsing at a point in the past history, you can just start editing. Then the document state is copied to the end of the history (i.e. the current point in time), followed by your edits, etc.

This removes the 2^n problem. It could be a bit inconvenient if you want to do a lot of tree-like changes, but could also better balance convenience+usability+power.
In the last 10 years the cost of small PLCs have plummeted. This is obviously a play to get users to buy into an ecosystem. You can buy one of these with a small amount of I/O for $1k. It includes a local distributor who will show up to your door and help you spec out equipment as well.

The largest cost is the plant support techs who can troubleshoot and potentially modify PLC code. Many plants rely on electricians for this role. Electricians who can nearly follow ladder logic, which is modeled after wiring schematics.
Things I didn't know even though this is one of my favorite songs:

1. The person the ship was named after died 27 years after the ship named after him did (he hadn't wanted the naming, the board overruled him).

2. The wreck is in Canada.

3. Gordon changed the lyrics of his live performances to take in new information not available at the time of writing.
But it's not an either/or. The mining and transport of metals also releases carbon dioxide.

To give an example every day I see convoys of trucks coming from Zambia to South African ports. These should be transported by train!

The solution is smaller, more efficient cars, electric bikes, public transport and things like that, not expensive 3 ton Tesla cars.

AWS is owned by a US company subject to subpeonas, so yes, regardless of where you are, you are technically not allowed to receive EU PII (including residential IP addresses) without prior consent or unless it's necessary for the performance of a contract or to take steps requested by the Data Subject.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. SBF had enablers who knew what this was from the beginning but kept mum about it. They actually helped hype it up then exit with profits.
This happens in a similar away at the small architecture company I work at. A client will pay for work, and then it will then become clear the work they have asked for is infeasible. However we are still contracted to do work. It benefits us to do this work and bill for it. I find it totally unethical to do any work after finding out that it will never result in a building, but my managers know that if we do the work we can bill for it. I think this story is the same, whereby the managers know the client will not benefit, but also that they will pay.
A recent HN post spoke about how employees are either aligned with a company (profit) or the overall goals espoused by the company. These goals appeal to the client. This story is an example of the OP being aligned to the client but not the company, and essentially how our economy is not aligned with ethical practice.
I hope the result is worth the wait!
