Yes it matters. My current scenario right now is our internet is down. The fastest way to reach ISP support is through Twitter DM. Twitter is not an option since their app is way over 300MB. So I download Tweetbot for only ~20MB.

I am also an Android dev and maintaining APK size has always been part of the dev process from the start. Apple is just so bad in policing their IPA size. And it is getting worse.
That’s bizarre but I’ll assume you don’t know how American public schools are paid for. It’s property tax, which is money the government takes from you when you own a house. Those property taxes were paid annually by definition.

You were.
For context, French law doesn’t have a “5th”: you were already required to expose decryption keys of encrypted data if requested (e.g: give a password for a locked zip file)

The law:
https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/loda/article_lc/LEGIARTI00003...

This specific ruling is about wether the lock screen of the phone was subjected to this law as well. Basically, is the lockscreen password a decryption key ?

The Cassation court judgement comes from the disk encryption mechanism being now attached to the phone locking mechanism: full disc encryption is only unlocked when the phone unlocks, so the passcode screen can be seen as a mean to unlock the disk.
"This product lets you express your ideas on the spot in vocal form while producing music." sounds pretty direct to me. If they'd said "this is a voice synthesizer" you'd complain that they were just expecting you to know what that is.

> So, he's destroying all of the institutional knowledge, the brand image, and the existing business relationships, while pivoting to a radically different market.

Sounds about right. Also, I don't think he values the institutional knowledge much, and thinks he can replace it quickly, because he thinks Twitter employees were idiots and he makes reusable space rockets something something.

Now he has to find a way out of his predicament. First step, fire a lot of people to stop the monetary bleeding he caused. Second step, find others to blame - activists organizing boycotts - or have his buddy the founder take public blame for him. Third, bring in his "A-team" of super rocket EV tunnel software engineers to fix it all up to work better with 1/5th the people. I don't think he cares if he has to do institutional and human damage to achieve it.
Yeah I would worry without some very strict policies you could slowly end up with your CI taking on insane dependencies like requiring a full numpy and scipy install because someone years ago wanted to make a chart as output. Google went deep into python as a build system and it burned them enough they built Bazel and starlark as a python-like build system but without the rope to hang yourself in full python.

Yup. I've been that guy twice on projects. Started a contract. Oh all the other guys were fired/left! I laughed inside a bit, took the 6 months pay and watched it tank both times because there was fuck all I could do about it but was contracted for butts on seats only.

Ground beef is simply steak ground into smaller pieces, so there's no difference.

Go to a nice burger restaurant (Red Cow in Minneapolis: I'm dreaming of you) and the ground beef could be ribeye or another really nice cut. Supermarket ground beef is usually a cheaper cut though.
I've hosted my own email server for almost a decade now.

My DNS provider offers a free email account for your domain, but that's the easy way.

I rent a VPS for like $15/yr and run everything myself. Setting up an email server takes like half an afternoon if you follow a good tutorial.

I can't say that Gmail being the biggest provider has had any effect on my email server. I'm not really sure how it would, apart from Google deciding to block private email servers somehow.
Languages with first class effects, like koka[1], require you to declare up-front what side effects (sample randomness, do I/O, abort, etc...) your function might cause.

Then from another outer function, you can't call the effectful function unless the outer function also declares those same side-effects (or you provide handlers for them).

This way you can easily isolate non-determinism and I/O to the top-level part of your program, while keeping the interior business logic pure.

The "first-class effects" part is what lets you easily compose effects and inject custom handlers. Ideally in a way that's more ergonomic than juggling with Monad type system Jenga.

I do think hard times are coming for Musk. As well as burning billions on Twitter, Tesla is no longer the vangard of the EV market, Boring seems to be a dead end, and I haven't heard anything about the solar enterprise for years. Space X seems to be still innovating, and I hope Musk isn't completely cleaned out so his Mars aspirations still bear fruit.

“Chip War” by Chris Miller describes how Silicon Valley first successfully pulled this off, when Robert Noyce spearheaded the selling of chips at or under manufacturing cost in the 60s to wean off dependence on government contracts and get regular customers interested. It did work in that instance, but I guess the real question is when & how that framework should be applied.

A tempting idea is to judge whether or not the final good/service is indispensable for the users (and how likely monopoly can be established), such that prices can be raised to recoup the losses. But that alone doesn’t seem to be sufficient as shown by the MoviePass collapse. Lots of ingredients to get right!

I agree with a lot of people in this thread, vocaloid music can be really great and a lot of the great music takes advantage over the slightly robotic or unusual sounds it can produce. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M92c6pl10u0). But it almost never actually sounds human, my favourite example is very good but still not quite there (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_QoqcsrRgc)

I have recently found Synth V, which uses AI trained on a singer and it can produce shockingly good results. It can also still used to produce similar sounds to vocaloids as well.

Here are some of my favourite Synth V covers and songs:

You have 5A rights at the border but I can tell you from firsthand experience after exercising them, I now get tossed in a cell every time I cross including spending 16+ hours in detention. IMO it's best not to have a phone at the border, I don't take anything across the border I don't want destroyed and documented and examined to the Nth degree. If you're not a citizen or green card holder they'll also send you packing for invoking the few constitutional rights you have at the border.

Oddly they have always been incredibly scrupulous in returning money as long as its under the 10k limit, thoroughly counting it in front of me and placing it in chain of custody.

This comment just sums it up for me. You said it perfectly.

It's definitely an acquired taste. I'm about 50/50 on vocaloid songs personally.

IMHO, the best gateway drug is this album/series this is from, though that may just be my personal nostalgia:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_lGrcOtzck

Another interesting vocaloid artist is SOOOO. However, anyone who has struggled with depression/self harm or has suffered abuse should not look them up if they think there is any possibility of being triggered by a mention of it (to the degree where I opened youtube in a private tab to find these links so that I wouldn't risk them being recommended while I'm in a bad headspace).

That being said, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUIelJYMO4U, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OOWWNFTguY, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGZ0I71Yawo encompass many of those feelings better than any other songs I've heard.

I personally like the chaotic quality that many vocaloid songs carry, and much like other somewhat experimental genre's you start to be able to follow more after listening to it over time.
Yes, but I wanted to foster this exact comment thread so it worked perfectly.

As for the chipmunk sound, it's not unusual for female j-pop vocalists to operate one or two octaves higher than the unfamiliar western ear would generally consider pleasant.

There's also plenty of music directly derivative of the vocaloid scene that maintains a similar aesthetic with 'organic' vocalists and dispenses with some of the awkwardness of vocaloid-oriented compositions. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjJMIWyl_l4
Or, read it anyway, it's truly wonderful. I particularly love "The Boy Who Talked With Animals" and "The Swan".

Twitter was losing money but for years they would have been profitable except they were handing out executive stock compensation like they were Facebook.

That wasn’t great but there was an obvious path to profitability. Musk just added somewhat over a billion in new annual debt servicing so it went from “stop going to nightclubs every day” to “sell the furniture”.
Some franchises are basically scams against the franchisee- subway and Quiznos were famous for not caring much at all and being willing to sell a franchise to anyone with some money (normally franchises are protected from similar franchises within a given area).

4th Generation AMD EPYC Processors, Code-Named “Genoa”
> He wants answers that get down to the fundamental laws of physics. One thing he understands really well is the physics of the rockets. He understands that like nobody else. The stuff I have seen him do in his head is crazy.

This seems like a weird thing to highlight, to me. Like, I don’t know anything about rockets, but we all know a bit about CPU design here, right? If someone said that Tim Cook really knew his stuff and wanted answers about the M1 that got down the the fundamental laws of physics, we’d probably say — well, that’s pretty stupid, right?

You’d have to talk about thing like pipeline stages, decoder width, memory bandwidth, branch prediction — obviously these parts have to follow the fundamental laws of physics but that isn’t really the interesting part. Fundamental physical limits aren’t the bottleneck yet.

Maybe rockets science is just much easier but that seems surprising to me, given the expression.
That person is president and COO of MMA global, huge marketing firm, given the fact that he was in a call with Elon, along with that class of people regarding brand safety; he is an important person and his comments describe the situation. He mentioned that their concerns are brand safety and moderation, and that’s why people are pulling out.

For them to pull out it seems that associating with twitter harms their image, and that’s - according to them - related to moderation.

As for “proof” that twitter is more toxic;

> In the week leading up to Musk's acquisition, researchers said there were no more than 84 hostile tweets an hour on the platform. But from midnight on October 28 – the day Musk took ownership – to noon the next day, there were 4,778 hate-filled tweets. That accounts for more than 398 tweets an hour, about 4.7 times higher than the seven-day average leading up to that day. The potential reach for those tweets was more than 3 million, researchers found.

> Researchers also said there was an increase in negative sentiment, with more than 67% of the tweets sent after Musk's takeover having a negative tone.

Kind of pathetic. Note that twitter would never parody any tumblr misfeature.
> Why didn't we end up with SGML -> XML "compilers"?

We did; both the osx command-line tool of the venerable SP/OpenSP package, as well as sgmlproc (sgmljs) with output_format=xml does exactly that: output canonical XML markup with shortrefs resolved, omitted tags inferred, attribute values put in quotes and attribute names preprended where not already present, conditional marked sections included or omitted depending on parameter entities, and also entity references expanded, etc. But SGML can also output HTML proper, unlike XML.

SGML mostly has additional authoring features over XML indeed, but a number of additional concepts as well: much more powerful notations (used as general extension mechanism such as for math or parametric macro expansion) and stylesheets ie. link process declarations with state-dependent assignment of attributes and pipelining to yield markup projections, transforms, and views.
I doubt Twitter would be fixing much of anything even if you knew someone still there.
I mean, the semantic web had a good try. The farce has been going on for 25 years now, it had its chance.

Your example of 10^8 combination, a 8 digit passcode on an iPhone 4, means a policeman would have to sit on a desk and try combinations for hundreds of years. This is likely to be determined as unbreakable protection by a court.

The document in page 11-12 goes into what may constitute cryptographic conventions.

It considers all recent iPhone and Android phones to be. It considers all systems for unlocking a mobile phone to be, as there is no other ways to access data on the phone otherwise, given normal technical knowledge and no specific software or hardware.
Bitcode could never really help with big architecture changes, there's too many #ifdef / #define'd integers and enums that have different values on different platforms, which would cause platform-specific integer values to be embedded hardcoded in the bitcode

They're both in vary nascent stages in terms of having a comparable dataset in my layman's understanding. Both look extremely promising, some may be better suited to different classes so that's what larger studies will hopefully help detail.
Then let’s limit the discussion to alternate web browsers. If the only reason that Apple is keeping alternate browsers out is because of losing App Store revenue, then we should have plenty of successful “apps” that are iOS/web only instead of iOS/Android/web.

I think that's a very easy question to answer, but I'm going to do so with another question: who do you think employs more stateside? Apple's profit margins obviously come from their use of overseas manufacturing - certainly an ethical problem too, but not the same problem. I'm concerned with the people building their phones as well, but Amazon employees are in my immediate vicinity.

I really can't think of a more apples-to-oranges comparison (pun not intended). The only thing Apple and Amazon have in common is that they're the A's in FAANG.
