> he was consistently naive in not looking out for himself, which is surprising for someone with experience

He was obviously very keen to continue being associated with the franchise, either out of love or professional interest. Waiting 2 years in silence while a counterpart slandered him on the web and lawyers played hide and seek, shows a lot of patience; continuing to propose to work on the OST project, even after all this, seems to indicate he really cared about it.

Love can blind us all.
What's the case law on this? Has this been ruled constitutional? Looks like it was created in the run-up to WWII, and has only been modified to change the fine.

I'll refrain from expressing my opinion on what a load of horseshit the mere existence of this law is.

I agree, but maybe we're the weird ones? I'm not a very emotional person, and the death of my father hasn't thrown me off balance, so maybe that's just a fundamental thing, either you're strongly affected by such things or you're not?
like most EU law it's badly written, but it states "to such data subjects in the Union"

given "within the Union" is used separately in the next sub-article to mean physically located within, it's arguable that "in the Union" could mean citizen of
It's basically Qualcomm's legal department trying to keep their patents; they can't actualy do anything to other AV1 implementers now that they have implemented it in Snapdragon 8 gen 2. If they try to sue let's say samsung, they will be sued back (most likely) by the whole AOM who hold way more av1 patents than Qualcomm. Thier patents are just marginaly more valuable now as they aren't shared between all of AOM. Essentially they are screwing everyone else over that contributed.
That sounds like a nightmare of complexity to get right, and I don't see why Apple would want to Frankenstein together cores when they could build something like Rosetta2 instead.
Right, so you give some leeway but have oversight. It very well could be that the PBA cards are given out too freely. Maybe officers let too many people with broken lights off the hook or tear up too many parking tickets.

I definitely would like to see better parking enforcement and more official cars get towed. I'd be all for that, no question.
This is cool. I want to ask to how is this different from Zapier?
I was waiting to see this comment. These two are very popular in US markets but are world's apart in the opposite direction. Gala are straight mush. TBF they do caveat: "You MUST buy Gala’s that are grown where it is currently Autumn... for an off-season Gala may be nothing more than a six-month old, previously frozen, grain silo in a fruit jacket." Which is 75% of the time...
Which you're free to so as long as you've never held a security clearance and/or signed the NDA.

I wonder how many fewer clicks the article would have received had the title been “Ranking apples”
My house has been raided multiple times by local police (Victim of a senseless drug war). They have never let me get dressed. I have always assumed it was a safety issue. How do they know, I'm going to actually get dressed and not pull out a firearm or push a hidden button to blow us all up. Not excusing their actions, but this seems to be the norm.
I currently use cron.app but I expect that will die since Notion acquired them. One feature you should consider adding to the premium plan is calendar blocking across calendar. That way if I add multiple calendars, and I am busy on one, it auto blocks that time on others. This is a surprisingly complex tech problem to solve, but if you can do it, that's a meaningful feature for power users of calendars.

Best of luck with Tweek!
I don't know what's with the hate on Granny Smith. I love Granny Smith apples. They are especially good for making Waldorf salad. They are also my favorite to eat with honey at new years. They have a nice crispy texture and are delightfully tangy.

Another major war will be far worse for the climate than a few additional airliner flights a day. Investing in the development of technology that makes a challenge to American global hegemony untenable is a very efficient method of preventing that outcome.

If you really want to cut back on flights, it would be more efficient to cut back on luxury travel. Tax flights to tropical islands at 1000%. That wouldn't be very popular, but Janet airlines is utterly inconsequential compared to casual vacation travel.

I remember reading a detailed story of a guy in Arizona who experienced this. He ended up suing the state (he was arrested by state police) and the doctor and won, but it was a long battle. I wish I had a link. Sounds like a horror story, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
>people are there for a paycheck

I worked at a company where all 4 founders were still there (15 years in) and that was very much our reality. I think the founders still cared, but that didn't matter - beyond a certain size (>100 employees), the majority of the people in the org didn't care the same way.
The details of the warrant were not disclosed in this article, but it appears to have something to do with images of area 51 and the possible disclosure of classified information. A similar warrant, also involving possible mishandling of state secrets, was recently served on former president Donald Trump at Mar a Lago.

The differences between how these two warrants were carried out are staggering. The idea that the law treats everyone equally in the U.S. is so manifestly falsified by this that I don't see how anyone can continue to claim it with a straight face.
Care to explain? From where I'm sitting, it looks like private equity firms and hospital networks have created local monopolies/cartels in healthcare by buying up lots of little doctor's offices, and running the same playbooks around revenue maximization.

I guess it's hard to defect and run a smaller office, because of the demands of dealing with insurance, as well as doctor licensure, but afaik the AMA isn't a governmental agency so much as a professional organization interested in keeping doctor salaries elevated by restricting the entry of new doctors into the field, and they seem to be one of the major problems.
I agree and disagree with this article.

I just bought a new smart phone after 4 years. My old phone was running Android 9 and stopped receiving security updates in May, 2021. The battery was also shot and I had about 30-45 minutes of phone use before it would just shutdown. Did it feel snappy while using it, yes. If it had Android 12 and kept getting security updates would I have probably continued to use it? yes.

People have been saying time and time again for years that the race to have the slimmest X was stupid. There is no reason why phone companies cannot do a plastic phone back that pops on and off and lets the user upgrade their battery like the phones use to have. There is also no reason why we cannot have longer phone support, other than time and money.

There are some big upgrades that happen every 4-5 years or so that would probably make some people upgrade like 5G, AMOLED screens, 120hz, or 4k resolution.

I do find it personally funny that most people shell out money for the latest iPhone year after year for the most part, but will have some shitty macbook air from 5 years ago. But that is because we have attached status to phones and not computers.

In the end, it is up to the companies to make these changes, but having a longer lasting phone goes against the idea of selling more phones per year for more money. They would rather ditch chargers and the plastic wrappers and virtue signal they are environmentally friendly so people feed good instead of actually saving the environment by making a phone last 5+ years.

As it stands, without crypto, you are pretty much a hostage to visa, mastercard, discover, and amex to exchange money effectively, and those companies are opinionated to a disturbing extent about who they deny business with when it comes to something so important.

While those companies are not operated as some sort of common carrier of transactions crypto is essential for a free global society.

Somewhere between "internet nerd project for buying drugs" and "every single Super Bowl ad" regulation should have stepped in.

Sure the trend is down. However Nvidia's is designing the cards to be cheaper and have less bandwidth, while charging a significant premium over the previous generation (1.7x or so). The cancelled lower end 4080 has less memory width then the previous gen low end 3060 Ti.

So the RTX 4080 TFLOPs are higher, but require you to be more cache friendly then the previous gen.
Yep. I live in New England, and in the fall it is easy to get fresh Macs and Cortlands, and always so much better than what is in the supermarkets most of the time. Honeycrisps are just too sweet (don't get me started about sweet corn!).

Are you replying to the right comment? I have no idea what this is supposed to be an answer to or a comment on, and I have no idea what system you think is working, or who you think has the authority to assign journalists a "purpose."
Sure, back then. But I’m guessing these are not 50+ year maturities still paying out.
Broadscale, crypto seems to have had an "Eternal September" moment and I think that's where the problems really began. Back in the early days before crypto entered the mainstream, it was pretty much like any other internet project. It was cool to be able to buy a pizza with internet funny money but by then it was still pretty small and everyone knew the inherent risks.

Then came the "Eternal September" where cryto went mainstream and many people started pitching this formerly niche project as a real investment vehicle. And people bought in thinking it was like any other investment. IMHO cyrpto itself isn't bad, it's all the people that pitched it like an old school investment vehicle.

> Are you saying it's actually possible to get an Apple user to subscribe without clearly displaying the payment amount or frequency?

Both are displayed by a system-controlled modal but even with that there are many stories of people not realizing/noticing the frequency. Apple has forced developers to place the frequency more prominently on their info screens but it's only helped so much. I have a hard time seeing a legitimate use for a weekly subscription other than to trick users. I almost think that Apple shouldn't allow that frequency or they should have extra vetting/restrictions/alerts for users. I know Apple sends out an email before they charge a recurring subscription (or at least I've gotten them for my yearly subscriptions) but maybe a push notification on the phone/tablet (that you could disable per-app) would be a another way to help prevent this type of fraud/scam.

Here’s the text from the image in their post, as transcribed by my phone anyways:

We reject the distortion of the truth and selective presentation of incomplete "facts." We stand ready with full and complete documented evidence to disclose in an appropriate venue as needed.

>Why would there be any grief from a layoff? It’s just a job.

While the juxtaposition seemed off to me as well, layoffs can have serious consequences. Not everyone (in all situations) can send a few emails and have another well-paying job in a few weeks. I've known especially somewhat later career people in the dot-bomb era who basically never really recovered from a layoff in terms of either career or finances. So, yes, it's just a job with the caveat that you probably want/need to get another comparable one and probably would prefer not to move across the country or even move countries (depending on visas) to do so.
Ah, thank you! I'd tried to find this for implementing BQN in NumPy (never finished) and didn't. Maybe I thought it only worked with a scalar for the number of repetitions.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apple_cultivars

There used to be more than the current 7500 cultivars. Many went extinct. There are groups that scour abandoned homesteads looking for surviving trees of lost varieties.

One reason there are so many is that apple trees are readily planted, but each new tree produces a completely different variety of fruit. Rule of thumb is that 1% of trees produce something edible, 0.1% something good, and 0.01% something commercializable.

For this reason, almost all apples you eat come from clones. (As they have been for 100's-1000's of years.)
The part of Mick's (exhaustive) post where he notes that he has only seen his awards through glass, at a distance, once, at id's office broke my heart.

It reflects poorly on the management--the actual people who are in management, not the vague "corporation"--when they treat their contractors this way. If Mick won the award, Mick gets the award. To do anything else is the behavior of a person of very low character.
No, but for retail, yes.

It's going to be a long time before the retail $16bn + contagion try it again, and they probably won't trust it for growth, interest bearing accounts; It also may not be needed for interest bearing accounts as the Federal Reserve seems to be on a path to offer meaningful rates for the long term.

So it's likely the end of mass market crypto? or effective advertising for major sporting events (F1, Miami Heat, LA)
And to needlessly complicate the discussion: I would argue that the reason why climate and environmentalism are issues in the first place is because of us refusing to expand into, thus offloading potentially contaminating activities to, orbital settlements fabricated and operated in space.

Make silicons, do nuke tests, operate heavy machineries, indulge in vehicle races, in satellite scale cylinders up there in heliocentric orbits, and if anything goes wrong in one of them, just throw it out of the system or into the Sun, to whichever preferred.

That was the future that the humanity envisioned in the 60s-70s, that we stopped following almost altogether(due to radiation hazard and lift capacity problems with assumed manufacturing on Earth surface). We should get back to that.

Years ago, my friend and I had a tumblr called Loo York City where we reviewed bar bathrooms in NYC. We had some fun nights drinking at bars and writing up grandiose assessments about life based on where you go pee. The page received no traction whatsoever and we eventually took it down, but I still have local copies of the reviews and reread them more often than I care to admit. The writing is more entertaining and memory-triggering than any free-form journal I ever attempted.

Nowadays, I write beer (and sometimes wine) reviews in a similar matter. I would never post them on untappd or elsewhere because the thought of someone who brewed the beer actually stumbling across something so self-indulgent makes me uneasy, but I have found it to be a fun, low-stakes creative outlet (even if my wife dislikes me writing notes while we're out)
The hype cycle is not applicable to every technology. Some, probably even most, technologies are eventually found to not be useful or valuable, and never recover once the hype bust happens and the technology is forced to compete in the marketplace based wholly on its merits.

Then they should guard you while you get dressed. The risk of getting shot is rather low for most cases and people deserve dignity. They are only accused of a crime not guilty.
> They repeat the same scam-artist lies, crypto is somehow an innovation in "trust", somehow more "efficient" than existing infrastructure, somehow "smart contracts" are more reliable than actual contracts. Things "become possible".

I can't read the article through the paywall to read any clarification on these points, but some of what you mentioned in that list above is arguably true.

* Say what you will about crypto, but it is an unbelievable accounting invention and innovation in trust. Crypto the technology is distinct from centralized exchanges.

* In terms of electricity usage and transaction speed, most crypto might not be very efficient (yet), but what efficiency are they talking about? If crypto-adoption can replace many bankers and finance employees because the network automatically does a lot of their day-to-day tasks, then there's an argument that crypto is highly efficient in some areas.

* Are smart contracts more reliable than traditional contracts? Well, that's highly debatable: you have the existing legal system that can sometimes be used to enforce contracts, but not always. But if the conditions of a smart contract are met, there's probably no conceivable force on Earth short of either a gargantuan cyberattack or the electricity going down network-wide that can stop it from executing. Sure, you might argue that smart contracts have numerous potential flaws (unreliable data, bugs in the contract, no possibility of rollback, etc) but there are good counterpoints, improvements in these areas, and some similar flaws in existing contracts. For instance: people intentionally cheat on traditional contracts all of the time and just dare others to sue: that's much harder with smart contracts that automatically execute once the agreed upon conditions are met.
> Crypto as a currency - I can't directly buy food, water, shelter, transportation, energy, or anything fundamental with it.

Not surprising, considering the technology isn't there yet. Scalability (and thus fees) are still unsolved. UX has so much to improve as well.

It's advancing, but it takes time.
I publish them somewhere I have control, like my website, and ask archiving services to archive that page. I don't need them to be under nobody's control.

> The whole innovation behind Bitcoin is to eliminate the need for trust in a centralized entity

Err, nope. That's the scam.

A blockchain is a kind of database which requires no single machine to be nominated as the single-source-of-truth. that's it.

This has nothing to do with centralisation, power, trust, or anything of that kind.

The sense of "centralisation" in blockchain means computer network centralisation, as in how one connects databases. And "trust" in the sense that entries in that database are "reliable" in some academic sense.

This has absolutely nothing to do with eliminating the need for "trust in centralised entities" -- such a claim is not only absurd, but the premise of a scam. A scam which continues to be perpetrated. And this article participates.

If a GPU card has a GPU chip size of 59% and a DRAM size of 67%, do you expect its price to be 75% ?

(Moreover, the cost of big chips grows non-linearly, so the expected price ratio is actually less than the size ratio, so even if one would accept $1600 as a price for RTX 4090, RTX 4080 should be at most $800).
