Information being false or libelous is another reason to ban someone. That makes it more hypocritical that LibsOfTikTok was unbanned but ElonJet was banned.
I've also driven a Subaru with EyeSight. I think it's pretty good too, and kinda follows the same philosophy as my Honda, but with different tradeoffs. The Subaru doesn't lane center, so it's less relaxing to drive on the highway because you have to pay more attention to fine tuning your lane position. On the other hand, my Honda deliberately won't automatically come to a stop to avoid a collision (it will only slow down in the last few seconds), so it's more annoying in stop-and-go traffic.

Sweeney's personal account has also been suspended: https://twitter.com/jxcksweeney

Some additional info: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/14/elonjet...

> On Wednesday evening, the account was briefly restored, with Twitter outlining new rules seemingly designed to prevent Sweeney from posting the real-time locations of planes used by Musk and other public figures as long as he included a slight delay. Sweeney, over Twitter, asked Musk how long he’d have to delay the data to comply.

> But Wednesday evening, Musk threatened to escalate the conflict against Sweeney, saying a car carrying Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, had been “followed by [a] crazy stalker” in Los Angeles, implying without providing evidence that location data had been a factor in the purported episode. “Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family,” Musk tweeted.

> Sweeney, 20, shared publicly available information about Musk’s flights, not his family members or his cars. The records stopped and ended at airports, and Musk has provided no further detail as to what legal basis Musk would cite in a lawsuit.
I spent 12 years at KMFB FM on the Mendocino coast (show host & Control Op), and it was a rare commercial station that had specialty shows where the host would have to get their own advertisers to be on the air.
How do you integrate tailwind and django? As far as I know (which isn't very much), tailwind encourages the use of "components" which comes very naturally with other frontend frameworks. But with django, do you put each component into a template, like `<button class="rounded xxx"></button>` and `{% include "button.html" %}` when you use a button?
Yes, because the other headlines implies there's no reason to continue research
How could it cause more store fragmentation? You mean, like giving people options to do things that will likely be hidden behind flags and warnings will cause more apps in the Apple Store or a third-party store? I wouldn't hold my breath for Apple to provide much freedom here. I don't think you'll have to worry about fragmentation either. There aren't any apps stores for Android that have any major exclusives.
Well for instance in California this is literally impossible since the law mandates that property taxes fall in real dollars in perpetuity.
Seems pretty easy to qualify their headline with one word
Extension for required core functionality is surface area for an exploitable security issue.

The Edge development team has been adding features to their browser just to limit that surface area: don't need extensions if its built in.
You can do this fairly rapidly, as long as the tab has enough cycles at its disposal. The real problems start when you try to do a lot of display, computation and other interaction at the same time.

First off, you are obviously confusing IATA and ICAO airport codes: ICAO are the 4-letter ones. Second, I do not know why anybody would consider IATA codes a mess. These are just some arbitrary IDs that appeared one by one since some pre-historic times, are insanely informationally dense (just 3 letters, and I cannot remember from the top of my head the exact number, but there are definitely more than 3000 of IATA airport codes) and are very hard to re-assign or organize because of how global and distributed the system is. If anything you should be happy and astonished they resemble city-names in any way at all. Personally, I always found this pretty incredible, that hundreds of small cities with long (and often similar) names manage to have pronounceable and kinda "intuitive" 3-letter codes assigned. They could've been just numbers for that matter (it's not like you have to know them if you don't work in travel — any ticket has city names printed on it nowadays).
Edge has them, and so do other Chromium-based browsers.

WeakMap also works really well for that, because it means you don't add any extra properties or symbols to the object itself. Instead you store it in the WeakMap with the object as a key, and it'll still get garbage collected with the object as if you'd added it to the object. I've found it's occasionally useful when you're trying to get things from different frameworks to interact with each other, both of those frameworks want to do things like assigning extra fields or setting up proxies, and then they start conflicting.
> Most affluent European nations have seen net negative economic growth for the past 15-20 years, and in some cases for a generation (France and Britain).

Economic growth is a meaningless term in itself. There was so much growth in the US, and what did it do for the majority? A tiny ~1% or less got extremely rich. But the majority are not able to feed themselves.

> They're in deep shit and it has little to do with Capitalists taking over their healthcare systems.

The capitalists took over the economy of entire Europe starting with Thatcher/Reagan.

> The math was always going to take them here

This sounds like religious sermon. There is a magical 'math', which makes everyone happy when there is 'growth'. Like how it obviously did in the US.

...

That has nothing to do with it. Growth, or contraction, has nothing to do with people having public healthcare since public healthcare is run over the fraction of the GDP that people generate. If there are less people, there is less GDP, but less need for healthcare. If there are more people, you need more healthcare spending but there are more people that generate GDP.

Its capitalism. Unequal distribution of wealth can never be sustained even with gigantic growth. Like the US demonstrated since Reagan.
Suburban development requires new infrastructure to serve a relatively small number of homes so it is logical that we'd see more of them if more people are living in suburbs.

Translating non breadboard circuit schematics to a breadboard is definitely something some people struggle with, It would be useful to have a tool that could do that for you.
No, that's quite accurate. Apple is now giving you permission to use the device that you own and paid money for, and before today, you couldn't use something you owned and paid money for.
>It's my impression that the hardware for newer android phones is pretty much on par, no?

No, it isn't; the iPhones are a dramatically better value provided you're not looking at the high end. The SE 2 and Pixel 6A have as much useful life remaining in them- they'll leave support at the same time and are competitive in terms of performance. The problem, of course, is that the SE 2 is half the price of the Pixel 6A.

At the same price point, you have the SE 3, which is an iPhone 13 inside; Apple just happens to be 2014 Intel compared to the 2014 AMD of Qualcomm/Samsung/Google (yes, they really are that bad at CPU design). 90Hz screens aren't an advantage if the hardware and software can't keep (or stop keeping) up, and Android only has disadvantages in those areas.

The only things I wish my iPhone did was block ads on YouTube (and play videos with the screen off) and not require a hundred dollar subscription fee for the privilege of not arbitrary expiring my applications after 7 days. NewPipe, uBlock Origin, and being able to install whatever I want are massive boons for the way I use my phone; provided iOS had those things, I would likely never consider an Android phone again barring significant hardware changes that Apple intentionally fails to integrate (like the foldable screens).
Updates on-device are also an essential technology. Many apps are hamstrung by delayed updates due to a policy change from the app store.

Interesting article that describes in numerous examples how strategic bulk purchases of books are used to artificially boost their ranking.

Books that both quickly appear on and vanish from the list are practically guaranteed to have doctored sales.

For example an author might give speeches before the publication date and stipulate that his fee is to be paid in book purchases. When the big day comes all those pre-sales count and the book is an immediate hit.

I’m not that interested in the New York Times best seller list itself but it was exciting to find out what happens behind the scenes.

Anybody have similar articles for the App Store ranking lists?
The general public barely have any idea of what fusion is let alone that it will likely be a few decades out at best. All they'll hear is "safe nuclear" and "limitless energy" from the talking heads/skimmed article
Yeah, IDNs should have never happened. Homograph attacks alone are reason enough for IDNs to be a terrible idea, and they cannot be fully prevented even with special rules, because different fonts might render distinct characters similarly that are not normally considered "homographs".

I feel IDNs are part of a larger trend of "Unicode should be everywhere", without any consideration for whether this is actually a good idea. Programming languages are guilty of this too, with many allowing almost any Unicode codepoint in identifiers. This has created an entirely new class of security vulnerabilities that are serious enough that VSCode now flags such codepoints by default if they look similar to certain ASCII characters.

Basic ASCII Latin characters are the only characters that can be entered using almost any input device in existence without additional tools or configuration. This makes them a universal baseline, and software should carefully consider whether deviating from that baseline is really worth the security vulnerabilities and incompatibilities it may introduce, just so people can write their source code comments in Vedic Sanskrit, for a programming language where every keyword and almost every function name is in English.
OpenBSD had a similar issue with pkg_add, later it used caching (and anyway, curl connects much faster than ftp(1) ) and package updates are much faster now.

Because we are not there in terms of Physics! They generated 1.5x the energy input through laser, but 0.0067x the energy consumed from the wall plug. That means we need more Physics, not just engineering!

(In the case of Canvas) This is done surreptitiously without the student's knowledge. As far as I know, there is a separate lockdown proctoring browser which is for actual exams, but then there are some other quizzes which do not require using the locked down browser, but they nevertheless log a bunch of stuff that get sent to the instructor, who often may not know what they actually indicate and proceed to accuse students of cheating.

On your second point about the comparison of human proctor and this:

Lots of things are fine to do on a small scale, but becomes terribly invasive when you do it on a massive scale with the aid of computers. You may accept that the person driving behind you may take a note of your license plate, but would you say the same if someone installed a high resolution webcam on the pedestrian footbridge to see every single car that went through forever? The general issue with computer-assisted surveillance is that it is cheaply scalable and nearly impossible to erase.

Lastly, is there really a point in preventing the use of external information aids (textbooks, notes, Google) in an age where information is so widely available? Rote memorization has never been a good way to truly learn things, and maybe we should do away with this tradition of tests based on information reproduction.
GuitarPro 5 is an absolute masterpiece for quickly throwing together ideas. Version beyond 5 are just not worth it and I say it as someone who actually paid for 8.

Does anyone have more info of where these will be located?

The article doesnt say if the public chargers are intended along highways or in more urban locations. I'm actually not sure which would have more of an impact on adoption - or which ones requires more public dollars to incentivize.
This is such a ridiculous take. It’s widely considered doxxing if you republish public information that makes it easy to find a person’s actual location.

Without getting into the weeds on this specific issue, the idea that any public information being republished on social media can’t have safety consequences is absurd. If, for example, the information about where someone lives is buried on a buggy government website, packaging it up and broadcasting it onto Twitter to millions of people is a very meaningful event that has safety consequences to the person involved.
GPT can be better explained as a compiler and collator, because it collates and compiles whatever you ask for. It can understand grammar though, and that's the only part we need to understand about it.
Basically. I think Elon is a blowhard idiot who succeeds despite himself and have thought so since 2017.

But I purchased my Model 3 in 2021 because, after cross-shopping many car models and trying to optimize for the characteristics and features I wanted, it was the best thing at its price-point. And even now, even after the Twitter debacle, I still enjoy driving it every day. I couldn’t care less about the man who made the car; the product won on its merits.
This hasn’t happened on Android. What we will get is an alt store for foss apps, an alt one for stuff banned like emulators and sex games, and another one for 3rd world countries filled with cracked versions of paid stuff.
The scaling is non-linear, which is exactly why ignition is important. By showing that fusion heat is actually leading to more fusion reactions, to get double the amount of energy out of each shot, they won't have to double the amount of laser light. In other words, higher gain should be relatively straightforward scaling of the system.

(Also, the laser inefficiency is a complete red herring as they just used plain old flash lamp pumped lasers, not the much more efficient lasers we could have used and which are available now, with efficiencies about 10-20 times that of those used.)

They achieved a 1.5x gain. To get useful electricity out (without heroic efforts) will require a gain of 20-50.
This will cut revenue. If twitter-class apps move, and if Apple cannot contract enforce the 30% cut on some component of payment. So, I expect some reaction in terms of future earnings from this.

This will weaken the defences of the walled garden, unless Apple mark-sweep the 3rd party stores. If you value a walled garden, and some people do, then the walls got lower. This isn't necessarily good.

I expect to see ringfences go up: Safari and Mail and like apps may well stop doing open file on content from side loaded apps, if they can't prove they are safe. (proof.. whatever that means)
> Any proof for this?

Its amazing how people are still unaware of this after so many documentaries, reports, advocacy on the matter.

Just google. "Neoliberal privatization tactics", "Economic hitmen" (that was a pretty popular take), neoliberalism etc.

> more (old) people are using health care.

Irrelevant. The number of older people in any country is not enough to bankrupt healthcare systems Healthcare is a function of the percentage of national GDP spent on it. If there are more people, you have more GDP, you can spend more. If you have less people, you cant spend more but you also have less people.

Blaming the problems on irrelevant 'reasons' is one of the ways in which privatization is hidden from sight - just check how many cuts have been made to the healthcare spending in your own country in the past 40 years, and how much. There you will have your answer.

I play Xbox Cloud Gaming. On iOS. As a web app saved to Home Screen. Works fantastic, iPad Pro with Xbox controller is the bomb.

(Btw, SetApp app approach works too.)

Meanwhile, Steam competes with Gig on PC and charges 30%. All this 'allow alt app stores to break apple's pricing' (zero other real benefits are cited) has not happened on PC.
Is there an archive/screenshot anywhere of the posts from the ElonJet account immediately before it was removed? I'm curious what recent info (if any) it showed.

The only people I know side loading on iOS are developers.
I'm not saying it can't happen, but those fuel pellets are awfully expensive to make.

Even if you fix all the other issues (laser efficiency, actually generating all the energy that was released - the blanket needs to absorb and produce more power than was put in and therefore will not be as efficient, waste disposal and fuel pellet replacement), the pellets themselves sound like they take MejaJoules to even make, in the form of extraction transportation, refinement, and housing.

Gold is a rare earth, diamond is not as rare as it once was but even CVD methods take 1000 deg f Temps, hydrogen is relatively cheap but still costly to produce and store.

Perhaps there is another combination of materials that are cheaper to produce/manufacture, but this is the first and largest question to be answered, energy ratio and mechanics questions aside.

Until then, it's far from inevitable that this can be done, the hidden costs are probably many order of magnitude higher than directly estimated.
Right so to approximate the capability of human eyes you would need multiple coaxial cameras with varying apertures. Then stitch the images together in software.
That seems to be the most common fear, but I can't see devs moving their apps off the default app store - that would be a terrible move for sales.

The only apps that are going to be available on third party app stores but not on the official one are going to be apps that would have never been available on iPhone at all in the first place if not for this change.

We already have a real world example of this exact situation with Android, and there's no real store fragmentation there.
I really don’t understand complaints with Xcode.

I been developing with iOS for 7 years straight.

My workflow: Open Xcode, open a bunch of files… write code… navigate symbols… build simulator… test code…

Sure.. I’d like if my builds were faster, and my unit tests were faster…but this is not a Xcode exclusive complaint.

But, “trash”? My workdays feel pretty smooth. I really don’t feel like I’m battling the IDE if at all.

Could you expand on your complaints?
Its not. Its a percentage of GDP. Shrinking populations produce less GDP. But they have less people to support.

There is no country in the world where public healtchare is failing without getting DEFUNDED intentionally.
Trust and Safety is an extraordinarily difficult problem to handle at scale. Ideally guidelines should be public and applied consistently. That's a high standard.

Elon came in saying he was pro free speech, even saying ElonJet wouldn't be banned. But he fired moderation teams and replaced them by personally making individual decisions. Twitter can't get consistent application of public guidelines from that.
Some "street art"is beautiful. But most graffiti is just an eyesore. It is even worse when it is vandalizing a public at exhibit.

It is important to note that, reasserting control has to be done at a browser vendor level -- trying to spoof APIs with extensions or whatnot as I mentioned may be a good mitigation for a specific behavior, but it is often detectable in a way that makes it an excellent fingerprint.
I hate HOAs and would never, ever buy a house that existed within a HOA-mandated community. (This, however, is difficult to do. Many localities mandate that new developments have HOAs.)

However, I also think the government shouldn't step in and invalidate legal contracts that two parties entered in to. When you buy real estate, both sides have representation, and both are fully informed. There's a formal closing process and everyone has ample time to read everything. If someone is foolish enough to enter into a contract that isn't in their best interest, the Government shouldn't invalidate it.

I lived in Florida (outside of an HOA) when the State invalidated CC&Rs and HOA contracts to explicitly allow a person to fly an American Flag, and to permit solar panels. I happen to like both of these things, but I'd rather the market make these restricted properties worth less money because of these restrictions and let the market fix the problem.

I would have no problem if courts ruled or state government passed laws restricting what newly formed HOAs and CC&Rs could restrict. And I'd certainly love it if government mandates of HOAs for new construction was made illegal.
