Plastics are so cheap and the paper industry has spent many decades learning how to make different composite blends of paper and plastic to get different characteristics. I had a friend who spent time in that industry and liked to point out how plastics could be in most paper-like products you would see every day. He also emphasized how "actual" paper can be unhealthy due to bleaching and other processing steps that leave byproducts.

I don't know if it's really solved anything, but I switched to loose leaf teas with a stainless steel "tea ball" for individual cups. Now I can instead wonder what metals the global supply chain decided to actually use in that product. ;-)
But then it wouldn't be free money.

Ok - here's my take on intelligent decisions. The European Union has 27 countries in it - each nation has a proud and often violent past, with different cultural triggers. Politicians in Hungary can put their hands on hearts and talk of knights holding back the Mongols, Politicians in Spain can talk of defeating Moors, and guess what, Hungarian voters don't give two hoots about El Cid and Polish voters laugh if the Greek Prime minister lauds over Thermopylae

What's left is politicians wanting to do something for the home crowds, and realising wrapping themselves in the flag won't cut it - so they go for stuff that will benefit everyone - build a railway from the tip of Italy to the top of Sweden ? Yeah why not that ought to provide a stronger market. We can sell that back home.

If you are diverse enough the phase space of intelligent decisions becomes fairly narrow and surprisingly good for everyone.
Yes, it's very simplistic, but I think directionally correct.

SD2 is the one that was neutered, right?

Maybe a dumb question but can the old model still be run?
I would guess all the aliasing stuff will get you. In C it's very difficult for the compiler to know whether two pointers are aliased, if we change X maybe Y changes too (because actually X and Y were the same). In Rust if we can write to it then it isn't aliased, and if we can't write to it then nobody can change it, thus changing X definitely can't change Y and the emitted machine code is sometimes simpler as a result, doing what you naively expected rather than what the C needs to do just in case you're crazy and there is an alias.

Now, in modern C you can say you don't have aliasing, but you're probably wrong and so there's a high risk when you do that you now get "impossible" bugs because you swore to the optimiser that if X changes, Y is unaffected, then created a situation where that wasn't true and now your program has no defined meaning, which is going to be tricky to debug. So, on the whole C programmers do not use this, indeed in places like the Linux kernel they even turn off the C standard's very minimal aliasing rules (which forbid aliasing objects of different types), they just don't trust themselves.

>Same thing I heard for decades about AGW.In fact, they probably make up a majority in Congress. There were decades of people out there saying the science was still out to worry warts asking about the wisdom of dumping gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

People can deny the science, but C02 concentration is the mechanism for global climate eras and we've known that for almost 200 years [1]. I don't care who believes in science because that has no impact on whether it is correct or not (only you, my fellow scientist, can determine that for yourself).

There is no agreed-upon mechanism for how microplastics harm humans, but again to the point of science, if you can point me to proof, I'd love to see it.

Long story short, you are very likely making a false comparison between those two topics.

>We don’t have to worry about someones grandchildren starving in 2060 if they aren’t going to be born in the first place.

>I know more than a few white conservatives who have had to use IVF, and the AGW-denying IVF doctor I know rants about phthalates/plastics even though it’s good for her business. We have a 100X more opportunity to convince them of plastics action than we do of climate action.

We have a 1,000,000x better chance of convincing them that Trump is an immortal demigod, doesn't mean we should do it.

Again, we should dedicate effort to things that we know matter even if it requires effort.

How do banking apps work on iOS? If my friend sells me his vase and I pay him through banking app making a money transfer, does Apple get 30% cut?
It seems like it would be fun to watch people play this. What would happen if one player cheated by using the same engine that was selected at the start and consistently picked the second, third, fourth, or fifth engine move? I don’t think that would work out for them because the game incentivizes you to win by forcing your opponent to take a high-level piece like your queen to win and then calling them out for being forced to have used the top engine move, right?
Or possibly any extra fees eBay charges on a purchase.
This is so true. Some folks in Ads also tried to explore using large language models (one example: LLM is going to be the ultimate solution for contextual targeting if it's properly done), but one of the major bottleneck is always its cost and latency. Even if you can afford cpu/gpu/tpu costs, you always have to play within a finite latency budget. Large language model often adds latency by order of seconds, not even milliseconds! This is simply not acceptable.

I think Pathways is one approach to tackle this issue at scale by making the network sparsely activated so the computation cost can be somehow bounded based on difficulty of each query. This effectively gives Google knobs for the axis across computational cost and the result quality by limiting the size of network to be activated. If it turns out to work well, then we might be able to see it incorporated to Search in a foreseeable future.
Apple has always taken the exact same percentage from developers, since the launch of the App Store, and long before the iPhone was one of the dominant phones purchased.
This has almost become a meme at this point. Anyone in the office who has a problem with their internet on the Macbook, I just send them this:

It sort of is. You get 2 developer technical support tickets (DTS). These are essentially at the level of having an engineer look at your code and help you figure it out. With these they’ve done things like review my build settings when I was having difficulty with a complex build. I believe App Store consultation is one of the available topics, but if not it would be worth trying anyway. These tickets are clearly worth a lot more than $50 each if used well.
Then i'm not sure where the disagreement lies. Domains are an identity and the CA/B ecosystem enforces proof of that.

Hey! Steve here, founder etc. The biggest value prop is having a canvas that’s “web native”, and so can render anything that a regular website can. Try pasting a codepen link, scratch project, google maps url, gif or video. Almost all of the developers who built on tldraw’s first release ended up building apps that leveraged this; for example, a spatial collection of graphs keeping track of aws cloud processes. https://twitter.com/foodybrian/status/1572784516586172418?s=...

There are trade offs for using the DOM vs. a custom <canvas> renderer, however I think they’re worth it for the types of applications that can be built this way.

We’ve also put a ton of thought (and opinions) into the interactions in tldraw. Some of this can sound pretty ridiculous, like rotating your cursor when your rotate a selection, while also counter-rotating the cursor’s shadow to preserve light direction. But especially with this sort of app, you really notice those details when they’re not there. As a product for developers, my hope is that the quality and attention to detail become part of the value proposition! Users certainly notice it.
Having second thoughts about their battery packs and chargers now. Have always been leary about the potential fire hazards.
Marrick's comment makes even less sense using a definition of Linux that includes Android, since they lists three different options: iOS, Android and Linux.

"No one is going to spend billions of dollars to get you to buy Linux.", Marrick said. Perhaps they were including the resources required to make something that is recognisably Linux that is compatible with phones, and polished enough to be appealing to the average consumer?
Even forcing competing app stores has problems. It's Apple that will be forced to provide support for those app stores. If someone installs malicious software from one and it bricks their phone they're going to bring it to an Apple store. Even if they have a policy of "competing app stores mean no support" there's still going to be the time wasted determining if another app store was used and the good will lost when customers find they no longer receive support for their broken phone.
The interesting part is that it seems like it's a flat 10%, which includes the payment processing fees:

> our payment for each purchase will be the price set by you, less ten percent (10%), unless we expressly state otherwise in writing to you. This ten percent will cover transaction costs such as payment processing fees and the cost of providing tools, features, and support described above.

This gives them an edge for cheaper subscription over the alternatives, so you can sell a $1 subscription and get $0.9.
Other similar platforms (hyper, upgrade.chat) take a fee on top of the payment processors, so you might get 0.30$ base fee + 3% from the payment processor, and an extra 3-6% from the platform itself.
And it isn't like quality Android phones are somehow niche, hard to find, or cost more. The competitions is strong and Apple only maintains its lead (in fairly short 1-2 year product cycles) with innovation. If it stopped innovating or charging excessive amounts, they would lose their market share very quickly.
> If Cash App charged a fee to transfer money, Apple would claim their cut of that fee.

They do, at least for rapid transfers to banks. It was perhaps not the greatest analogy on my part since transfers within the app are free, but I fully understand what Apple is claiming here. You don't see them claiming Cash App's transfer fees, or bank fees, or other similar charges.
Also, can you not "upgrade" but still run new models?

It's not a bad idea but there's no "simply" about it: organizing is hard. And if you're one of the disgruntled companies, you have to balance the chances a campaign like this succeeds against the odds that Apple retaliates against the first companies to sign on.
> You know what baffles me? That Apple doesn't have a separate, "VIP" review process for apps that are from established, known companies.

That sounds elitists and what is wrong with capitalism. It gets distorted by big corporations having their way with their big elbows inhibiting growth and competition. Then you have people supporting the VIP lane are part of the problem.

Corporations should get equal treatment regardless of their size or in fact small business should get _more_ help than big corporations.

It seems most comments in this thread are about microplastics. What about the poison we breath every day that comes from exhaust pipes of diesel engines as well as tires/brake pads? It's already proven it's terrible for us in various ways. We already went through smoking case which is very similar. There are more and more cars and more and more health problems. It just seems like an obvious suspect to me.
> Thanks 3$/month looks like a decent price to me. I might give it a try

From everything you said since, it sounds like you had no intention of giving it a try.
Your choice of establishment needs a capital E. You may not realize it, but a significant part of the political sphere is absolutely, cripplingly dependent on a tightly controlled financial medium of exchange with tight, inescapable integration with tax authorities/law enforcement.

If everyone were to suddenly remove all their money from banks and the financial system, and only started transacting point to point, and (lets handwave the how and just say that everyone immaculately keeps their own set of books/accounts with everyone else, not on a public ledger), the entire political/regulatory power structure of the United States falls apart that day.

Money transmission regulation cannot be coordinated/scaled to effectively service period at a population of the U.S. scale.

A) Private books means if you really want your tax authority to see them, congratulations, send a warrant. Oh wait, due process (not enough hours in the day).

B) If we assume the magical bookkeeping extends only to facilitating a transaction, but not records retention/OFAC, that goes out the window. LE integration too.

AML, gone, KYC, gone.

On the upside, everyone can send anyone money. On the downside, there's a hell of a lot that no one talks about that goes into that than anyone probably has the patience, comfort, or intellectual fortitude to sit through.

Also Wall Street dead.

I mean, for me it's a hard choice. Possible national collapse, dead Wall Street, and chance to reaffirm and rebuild a nation...

There are a lot of things than can go wrong when you order from a restaurant or coffee shop. There could be diseases, bacteria, virus, chemicals or even contaminent such as glass parts or insects.

From Matt Levine:

“Doesn’t that Journal story sound a bit like that? I mean here is a story you could tell:

1. You have 1,000 Bitcoin worth about $17 million.

2. You want to buy more Bitcoin, but you do not have any dollars.

3. You go to Tether and say “hey give me 17 million USDT, in exchange I’ll put up 2,000 Bitcoins as collateral.”

4. Tether is like “sure that’s the business we’re in” and hands you 17 million USDT.

5. You use that 17 million USDT — notionally worth $17 million — to buy 1,000 more Bitcoin.

6. Now you have 2,000 Bitcoin.

7. You post the 2,000 Bitcoin as collateral to Tether for the loan, which is now overcollateralized with liquid collateral ($34 million worth of Bitcoin).

8. More USDT have been created to buy Bitcoin, but no new dollars have come into the system.

Maybe this is fine, no problem, just margin lending. [4] But if your concern is “Tethers are printed out of thin air in order to allow people to buy crypto without putting any actual dollars in,” then this might make you nervous.”
Back in the 90s, when mcdonalds.com was owned by some yokel who thought to register it before anyone else, I used to say that they couldn't do capitalism on the internet, and look, they pulled it off! We only had to throw every shred of social cohesion out to make it happen, but hey, the attention economy is in full swing!

Rubbish, lad. These platforms manage accounts in their millions within the garden every day, and you're telling me that they can't manage to open up a hole in the API to let someone add and read posts that way, rather than through their sadistic web interfaces? After everything they've already done?

More to the point, ActivityPub is just the current popular prototype, the Bitcoin if you will, of the federated social space. We'll get it sorted just fine.
It's even worse. The majority, not of all bugs, but all vulnerabilities (of all severities) do come from memory safety bugs. TFA: "For more than a decade, memory safety vulnerabilities have consistently represented more than 65% of vulnerabilities across products, and across the industry."

On top of that, memory safety vulnerabilities are disproportionately high severity: "Memory safety vulnerabilities disproportionately represent our most severe vulnerabilities. In 2022, despite only representing 36% of vulnerabilities in the security bulletin (NOTE: down to 36% from 65% because of moving from C++ to Rust and other memory safe languages), memory-safety vulnerabilities accounted for 86% of our critical severity security vulnerabilities, our highest rating, and 89% of our remotely exploitable vulnerabilities. Over the past few years, memory safety vulnerabilities have accounted for 78% of confirmed exploited “in-the-wild” vulnerabilities on Android devices."

I haven’t found anything compelling about seed oils being awful, but I haven’t found anything indicating that we should actually eat them, though. Have you?

I’m asking sincerely. It seems to me like they’re better than some alternatives if only to reduce saturated fat intake, but generally speaking, if any refined fat is avoided it’s probably to your benefit.

I often wonder if people think seed oils are bad because they eat way too much of it in general. Kind of like, if you take a shot of windex every morning you shouldn’t be surprised when you become ill, but instead people expect it to make them healthy (not actually comparing canola with windex).
Interesting, I didn't now that. Still though, my recommendation is mostly tongue-in-cheek because even spending 5 hours with an Apple engineer won't fix OP's problem. Nevertheless though, thanks for sharing!

The feature of Google that is lampooned is called Google Quick Answer

I know that because a physics PhD friend once made a lecture for students on how to find truthful physics/engineering information on the web, with a dozen slides examples of factual mistakes in Google Quick Answer. Regardless of whether they are from other sources verbatim or transformed by Google - e.g. modulus of elasticity of cast iron is stripped of units

So it certainly could be an improvement there
