My brother's bike was stolen in college when he lived in Logan Utah. As a non-native he was shocked to find that the cops put out a description of the stolen bike immediately and it was spotted and returned within hours. I believe an arrest was also made.

There's no reason we just need to accept that you can steal anything you like and nobody will care. This is a direct response to the people we're putting in power.
> this implies that the price of a phone bill is connected to the price of operating the service. The price is set by what they think they can get, not how much it costs to run.

I am not denying that telecoms is an oligopoly, I'm just saying this guy is no Robinhood. I think there still is some competition for pricing among cellular providers especially if you consider MVNOs, but even if this fraud had no effect on the cost of cell service, shareholders in any of the major telecom companies, which probably include the majority of adults by virtue of their inclusion on the S&P 500, are out billions of dollars of dividends thanks to the fraud these unlocking services enable.

Unfortunately I have a similar experience with FF on Android. A more jittery experience and a bigger batter drain than Chrome, even without any extensions installed.

I'll plug my main mobile browser which is now Samsung's internet. I gave it a hesitant try after being disappointed by FF and I'm positively surprised. The UI customization options are even better than Firefox.
hmm, maybe the lack of originality in the joke indicates a degree of accuracy in its observation.

This idea used to be called microformats. The premise was that you send an HTML snippet, and all the semantic attributes plus a protocol definition will let you parse it as either data or a part of the UX. It's self-documenting in the sense that, if you do it right, the snippet has clear semantic meaning.

However, it's not backward and forward compatible as either UI or data, because that was never an explicit goal of HTML. It's also much slower to process because:

1) Network IO is CPU intensive, so sending more data is worse

2) HTML is not optimized for data interchange. Parsing a protobuf is probably at least 10x faster than parsing the same data out of an HTML microformat.

Everyone agrees on this. But the tight labor market doesn't exist per se. It exists with raging inflation. That turns the labor market's tightness into a policy enhancer for the Fed, since it has more room to maneuver.

Perhaps there is actually a credible threat on Elon’s life? Starlink is providing internet services to Ukraine. Elon has seemingly waded into US partisan politics and become a controversial figure. If someone told me that Vladimir Putin put a green light on him, I would not find it outside the realm of belief.

But this is a total crackpot speculation for purposes of entertaining discussion on the internet.
I see where you're coming from but

1) When I say abandoned the original redactle.com has had it's problems. There have been several days where the original was down because the hosting bill was not paid. Some fans tracked down the hosting company and paid it. Also the certificate was expired for months. Some days it loads a disambiguation wiki page instead of a real article. The dev hasn't been seen on social media since April.

2) Everything I did in redactle-unlimited is from scratch and with significant improvements like multi-player and lemma. The copycats are actually using others' content by either pulling en eBaum's world and embedding the sites or in one case cloning the source code, replacing the logo and domain and claiming to be the "official redactle unlimited" on reddit.

3) I'm hardly the only person to have re-created a Wordle or web game from scratch.
Is "pushing the bounds of what the web can do" something we should value? Given the current direction of the web, a preference for Safari's relatively slow feature rollouts seems reasonable.
Pull out 200 of each set, or whatever number you like. Email the other 1800 and say "thanks, but we have decided not to interview you for this role. We'll keep your resume and contact you again if we have a role that you seem good for". Read all the remaining resumes over the next week.

Seriously, it isn't complicated.
Chrome on iOS uses the same WebKit engine as Safari. Right now, if someone at Google wants to ship a web API they need to work with Apple and, to a lesser extent, Mozilla to implement it. If they could tell people to use Blink on iOS, they'd have the ability to ship the update and blow off attempts to change the code in the standardization process or even standardize at all because 95% of their users would be running code which they can arbitrarily update.
I'll stick with Python and HTML.
Stroika itself doesn't depend on C++17.

Stroika is versioned, so that the v2.1 branch depends on only C++17 (though if available, supports some c++20 features, like operator<=>).

The Stroika v3 branch requires C++20 (so requires features like concepts, operator<=>, jthread) in your compiler.

Stroika 2.1 is released and stable, and Stroika v3 is in active development.
Aren't those cars (McLaren/Ferrari) also horribly uncomfortable and lacking in a lot of other amenities (like sound systems or tech)? It feels like those cars are a completely different category of good, and trying to measure them on the same scale is misguided.

> Two things - not only do we have centralized exchanges, but they're also coordinating with each other... what was that about decentralization of power again?

That's the beauty of merkle trees-- you just go into your own local copy (or merely paste one from a friend's copy), check your hashes are correct, then upload it to whatever other centralized discovery service of your choice and keep doing business. Even if colluding centralized bad actors tried to append some junk, it only takes one honest friend (or honest you) to get you back to the correct level of nesting dolls. And as long as you can find one honest centralized discovery service to wrap it in, you're back to your original level of convenience.

Oh wait, that's git I'm thinking of. Yeah, these customers are absolutely fucked.

Fission means, in practice, paying enough for coal generation, over the decade, to have built enough solar to displace the nuke; and paying many times that, on top, to build the nuke.

So, no. Each dollar diverted from building out solar to mining coal or fooling with nukes brings existential catastrophe nearer.

It feels like Apple has actually been moving in this direction for a while now, it's just that you don't see it because all of the visible movement has been happening on the macOS side.

The security model in macOS has changed dramatically since 2019 with Catalina—so much so that the OS is basically unrecognizable to me from an admin level.

It is likely that iOS is going to get the same Full Security, Reduced Security, and Permissive Security options as macOS. It seems like the only thing that Apple hasn't decided on yet is whether or not they will continue to allow signed, non-App Store apps under the default Full Security policy. I suspect they will not or that this is where iOS and macOS will diverge in terms of security policy, or that possibly one other category is created under Full Security that allows this. I would not be that surprised if the next version of macOS requires you to boot into the startup utility to set "App store and identified developers" as an option and further restricts what signed applications are allowed to do.

Apple is going to go the extra mile and allow companies like Epic and Spotify to do whatever they want. But they don't have to sign their apps and let them do it under the default security policy. They can simply say, "You can ask your customers to switch their security policy to Reduced Security if they want to install unsigned apps." And then customers can decide if they'd rather play Fornite or use ApplePay.
The Twitter Files just appeared to be typical inner workings of a tech company that has to deal with sociopolitical issues related to their product. Sure I enjoyed reading the Slack screenshots but it's not some conspiracy that mainstream media outlets aren't covering this story. It just isn't that remarkable or explosive.

> Isn’t every product margin an opportunity for competition?

Yes. Which is why marginal revenue does trend towards marginal cost, contrary to what you’re claiming. High margins are a signal to the market that more supply is needed

> Trickle down isn’t real.

Trickle down is a misnomer. It’s actually more like trickle up as all it means is that people who make the money get to decide how to spend it vs. having a centralized, top-down organization (the government) decide how to spend it

> Money does get hoarded, but it’s not enough to be meaningfully helpful at purchasing power.

If hoarded money is not enough to meaningfully help purchasing power then the other side of that coin is that the increased profits of these companies is necessarily not enough to meaningfully effect purchasing power in a negative way. In both cases, it’s the same amount of money, just on different sides of the ledger

I think even more so than “If I can put things eloquently enough, perhaps they'll understand why I did what I did.", it can be motivated as “I don’t think I’m a bad person and I didn’t intend to cause harm; if people are still mad at me, it must be because they don’t understand and I should explain harder.”
Is there something like this that is a bit lighter than 135KB (source) / 40KB (dist)?
Yes, the whole point of SvelteKit is that it's SSR+hydrate. But it doesn't need Node for that. It'll run on just about any Javascript engine, including Cloudflare Workers which is quite close to pure V8 + standard web APIs.
That’s too simplistic in my opinion. Social networks have publishing aspects and Facebook is responsible for what appears and gets amplified on their properties.

Yeah, and that's a problem. But again, Python is faced with bad choices because the interface exposed by OSes for file systems is basically broken.

(But, that might also fall into the 1% case where you'd need to pay attention.)

Perhaps you might argue for a dedicated type like Rust's Path, but that too has issues, and I don't think Python had the "design freedom" to go there. (Although it does have pathlib, nowadays, so I wonder how it handles this; but it would also need to duplicate a lot of the functionality in os…)

Does google opensource their search system? Why would OpenAI do that?
I appreciate that in this they demonstrate not just rigs where a manikin is thrown in way of danger, but actual humans performing regular/irregular tasks. This to me is akin of the bullet proof {vest,glass,etc} manufacturer willing to put themselves behind their product for demonstration. With AI systems I think this is particularly important because with such high dimensional data it is possible that the vehicle picks up on things like the pull cable or that it is a manikin and not a human (e.g. pneumonia predictions strongly correlating with medical equipment within x-rays rather than inflammation). A kinda two for one confidence builder here.
But exactly, the point is not to say that there is not gray area here (there is), but that the calls of "Fauci lied" and "prosecute Fauci" is what is bullshit.

While Waymo is spending $$$ gathering driving data, Tesla has 100s of 1000s of cars doing it, for free. In terms of sheer data, in this race, Tesla wins. Now whether Tesla can actually use the firehose of data and actually train models that use it productively, remains to be seen. With the departure of Karpathy, I am not so sure.

If Tesla gave all the data to Waymo, Waymo would reach L5 in no time.
It's also worse in a lot of ways, not due to problems with expressiveness but more soundness and specification. It's pretty easy to make TS keel over during typechecking.

The other issue with the typesystem is the (soon to be obviated) need to compile to decent javascript and interact with it. That made sense before WASM existed and it will make a lot less sense once the component model is stabilized.

It's not one of those things you can sit and name, it's a 90/10 issue, and the margins are critical even though they appear small.

Bugs surrounding drag and drop is what lead me to abandon all hope of supporting the browser some months ago.

I cant reconcile this statement with the previous history you've discussed.
Yes. Eliminating or vastly reducing the head-on collisions caused by drivers drifting across the center line, and the rear-end collisions where they don't see the stopped or slow car ahead of them, are a huge win. I'd trade full self-driving for really effective lane departure warnings and auto-braking collision avoidance any day of the week. Next step (or included) would be reacting to red lights/stop signs if it appears that the driver is not stopping. Deal with those things well and you've eliminated the causes of most serious accidents.
Dependency management in go is…underwhelming to say the least. Go get? Go mod download? Go install? Go tool error messages related to the same? All a mess.

It's a usability thing, IMO.

Historically you had enterprise-grade VPNs that cost a lot of money, or OpenVPN. Both ran over IPSec or SSL, and neither were super straightforward to config/maintain, nor were they particularly performant.

Then came wireguard, which is awesome, but wireguard is just a transport. It doesn't have all the UX niceties built on top of it, like registering clients or generating / distributing keys. Tailscale does a lot of that lifting for you, so you can easily and quickly get a working VPN, at a low cost, with good performance.

Personally I manage wireguard myself, but I also self-host my own VMs, storage server, applications, etc.

Tailscale is like taking your car in for an oil change instead of doing it yourself, plenty of people find that worth it.
