Spotify iOS automatically plays as soon as the app is started. At least, it does when connected to bluetooth. No way to disable. That was reason enough for me to delete Spotify.

I use Apple Music which is marginally better but not great for anyone who like to rewind and hear passages of music again. It’s also difficult to stay on album view.

Both apps are total pants for classical music as well. Apple acquired a player in that field but I’ve yet to see any improvement to Apple Music on that front.
That seems to be only for streaming your own files and doesn't have an existing library. That's the benefit of Apple Music to me, I don't really have a full local library of all my music. I stream what they have, and then if I find something missing I'll source it from somewhere, upload it, and then forget about it.

I don't really want to give up the built-in music library cause there's a lot of benefit to that too.

Absolutely, they can change this setting, in lots of different ways. Originally emergency services were set up by fields offered by the SIM. Occasionally these settings change, so an update mechanism had to be established.

- Android comes with a list of carriers and their required configurations; when the MNC and MMC provided by the SIM match a carrier on that list, Android uses the configuration from that list. This list updates with Android updates, and so SIM don't have to be reprogrammed.

- Modern SIMs just Java cards with a SIM app (especially if they offer IMS). The Java cards also have a secure storage element to hold subscriber keys and mitigate tampering to change these keys. They also contain signing public keys which is queried by Android whenever /Carrier Privileges/ are requested. That way, an app signed by a carrier can very against the carrier's SIM in order to get access to this configuration.

- There are remote configuration protocols, so Android will have a bare configuration for carriers just to fetch the latest configuration from them (to then use it).

This has been happening for quite a while. If you use(d) a carrier app for voicemail or setting up the service for the first time, you've used this. Except nowadays it seems Android actually /informs/ you about it.

https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/uicc

https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/carrier

One could probably write a rooted Android ROM that filters / requests user permission / logs changes to carrier settings, and there's utility in that since it may be a vector for espionage / traffic redirection (provided stolen keys or an exploit of the SIM's certificate storage machinery). SIM cards are usually directly connected to the CPU, not to the baseband.
Are you sure that any of those three got an advance from Substack? They don’t appear in any of the articles listing authors with paid advances except in providing commentary about the existence of such a system. They might have all even joined before Substack had its advance program.

You are otherwise correct about them not having a “paid gig”. They each built their own large paid subscriber base from which Substack takes a 10% cut. They pay Substack for the service, not the other way around.

> (B) Nobody needs to prove cannabis is helpful to show that it's an extreme social injustice to imprison people for its use.

The specific nature of American federal drug laws concerning cannabis makes dodgy medical research an effective method for breaking those laws down. And the severity of the American penal system makes it easy for activist researchers to decide that the ends justify the means.
In a sense AWS/Azure/GCP are doing startup investing, giving out tens of thousands of credits to basically any startup that asks for them, in the hope that most of them stay on their platform and some of those become huge (=big spenders).

So if less startups are founded, startups fail earlier and startups build less-oversized architectures we might first see the effect in the beginning of the funnel, in terms of less free credits being spent. The hit to revenue would then take a couple years to fully materialize.

In addition to advances they will sometimes just pay a writer to move to Substack.

> But the advances also had limitations. On a per-deal basis, we could never really do better than break-even. A Substack advance was effectively an interest-free loan that would never be paid back if a publication failed.

> With Substack Pro, we pay a writer an upfront sum to cover their first year on the platform. The idea is that the payment can be more attractive to a writer than a salary, so they don’t have to stay in a job (or take one) that’s less interesting to them than being independent. In return for that financial security, a Pro writer agrees to let Substack keep 85% of the subscription revenue in that first year. After that year, the deal flips, so that the writer no longer gets a minimum guarantee but from then on keeps 90% of the subscription revenue

- https://on.substack.com/p/why-we-pay-writers

Depending on the payment it's possible that a writer could lose money on this, because they would have made more from subscriptions than they did from Substack, but I'm guessing for very big names Substack is paying quite a bit more than they would have made from their first year of subscriptions.

Also, this wasn't public for a while and there's probably more that is still not public.

> We haven’t said anything about Substack Pro in public until now because we have been in a “figuring it out” phase, seeing what resonates with writers and how the deals perform over time.
These people also complain when stuff that was cheap isn't cheap anymore, and also when their own people don't want to work the crappy domestic jobs--one or two steps above slave labor--that imported labor did.

This seems like much more the result of external pressures from city dwelling corporate executives who drive competition for cheap agricultural produce to such an unsustainable level that everyone has to do the same destructive practices just to stay in the game.

There are many farmers who would love to manage their land more holistically, but recognize that it's financially impossible to do so unless they get lucky and hook a privileged group of rich people who are willing to pay an extreme premium for their food in order to buy non religious indulgences to relieve their guilt for their own contribution to the problem.

And really, to lay blame for this problem on the backs of any singular entity alone is absurd. It's a systemic problem that every single one of us participates in.

We had a very large monorepo at my previous company and building Docker images required us to set the context at the root of the directory (libraries, protos and helpers scattered around the repo). On macOS this is extremely slow as Docker copies the context into the daemon. This used to take several minutes.

Fortunately, we also used Bazel. So I created a custom Bazel rule that aggregates all the required files of a target/service then builds the Docker image within the Bazel sandbox which only contains the files we need. This massively reduced the context size and thus the image build time. From several minutes to single digit seconds.
Phone (call, data) interception is mandated in a lot of countries (i.e. operators have to do it is presented with a judicial mandate) against the wishes of user too. This setting is in the same vein, in order to allow authority controlled public broadcasts.
Understand the sentiment. On the flip side, and as noted in the post, we don't want it to serve as a "name and shame" situation. We have a lot of respect for the folks maintaining the drivers we use, they do a pretty hard job, and so we don't want to come out swinging and taking shots at them. So we're trying to walk that line.

We also think the information provided in the post is valuable as is: it's easy enough to check whether a driver you use faces any of the issues we mention.

With that said, here's a bit more color:

- the native Snowflake driver for GoLang does not implement COPY functionality (or at least it did not when we last tried to use it).

- the memory leaks are pretty prevalent across ODBC drivers. It's worth watching out for that one if you're using any ODBC driver.

- the breaking change on connection string was Databricks' GoLang driver.

- the DECIMAL one is pretty prevalent too. BigQuery only allows you to go up to DECIMAL(38,9) while most other drivers let you go to 18 on scale, and ClickHouse supports precision/scale of up to 76. Redshift complains loudly if you try to insert a DECIMAL(38,17) into a DECIMAL(38,18) column, for instance.

Hope the added color is helpful!

I reject your premise that they're "practically identical" and it's going to be on you to show that such a grand claim is true.

This entire thread is about the fact that in some case the carrier can override your decision and turn it back on.
Programming certainly can follow standardized design and implementation methodologies. I don't think there is anything fundamental about software engineering that prevents that.
It doesn't usually happen because there's not enough agreement on all levels of what is the best methodology. Software engineering is young and still sees significant evolution. Principles of software design and engineering are largely agreed upon and applied, but not in a single, concrete and consistent standard because experts still disagree too much on the specifics of applying those principles, and on other controversial principles.

And of course there is often no regulations that would require and guarantee the application of such a standard, and no standardized QA by customers.
Individual choices are not the solution to systemic problems. That’s not to say they’re not also important.

I'm baffled at what purpose there is to voice-activated lights.

Light switches are always at the entrance to a room. If I'm entering or exiting a room, I turn the light on or off as I pass the switch. This is going to be much faster than "Alexa, turn the computer room lights off" on my way out and then waiting to make sure it understood me.

The only exception is my front porch light. I usually leave it off, but turn it on when I'm expecting a food delivery at night. Being able to turn it on from my computer room remotely could be nice, but I'm not going to begin investing into a "smart home" for that one purpose.

My TV and clothes washer are both "smart", but I don't use any of the smart features, and neither have ever been connected to my WiFi.

The only smart appliance I have is a thermostat, and even that one is pretty basic. It has an app that I can use to control it and create a schedule, but it doesn't try to learn when people are home.
Oh yeah, if the app is big enough to have multiple replicas, I'll use postgres over sqlite. Mainly sqlite for me is for little apps/services. I do know people that have a setup for distributed sqlite, but IMHO when you want more than machine talking to the db, postgres is a much better fit.
I highly doubt much if any of the space exploration now is going to have a significant impact on humans being an interplanetary or interstellar species. A good analog might be the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. It was interesting, but it Amundsen's expedition never left we'd be in the exact same place we are now when it comes to exploring Antarctica.

If 200 years ago a country had decided to keep a settlement going at the top of Mount Everest in the name of progress, it wouldn't have been any benefit to the modern efforts to keep people in the ISS. Likewise, I don't expect the ISS to have any noticeable impact on efforts to have people live on other planets.

Keep in mind, this doesn't mean we won't make progress. A lot of people are excited about what SpaceX has been doing, and until very recently they've been entirely involved in non-human cargo. There are a lot of reasons to send things into space, which is why we send up a lot of stuff. There's just not many reasons to send people up at the moment, other than to be able to say we're sending people up.
And those people are in for an unpleasant surprise when this onshoring actually gets underway:

> In Morris Chang’s own estimation, the chips produced from TSMC Arizona may cost “at least 50% more” than the chips from TSMC Taiwan. Will TSMC pass on that cost to Apple or let it eat into its margins? Will Apple pass on that cost to consumers or let it eat into its margins? No one knows right now, but as TSMC Arizona starts churning out wafers, we will know soon enough.

Jobs back in America is great in the abstract, until you have to pay for it. If everything in your life costs 50% more, then your effective income has fallen by a third. Are people actually going to be ok with that? We'll see.
I think it may have been a mix. There was also a mini CD thing around that time that sometimes got used for drivers. In general, things were switching over to CDs in the late 90s but as I recall floppies were still around for some purposes.

ADDED: And as someone else mentioned, you sometimes downloaded drivers. Not everyone had broadband but Internet access was pretty common by then.
> In the same sense that breathing air is not a victimless crime unless you can prove that none of the people breathing the air are using the oxygen to help their bodies harm a victim.

No, in the sense that when you are telling people to leave an existing process which has safeguards you are then taking on the responsibility for not causing a regression in the level of protection.

Breathing air isn’t a good comparison because it doesn’t have the primary purpose of evading oversight. More appropriate comparisons do: cash, wire transfers, store credit, etc. all have restrictions to curtail criminal activity because we know that it is otherwise inevitable. Unless you can show that all use of cryptocurrency is benign we have to assume that it will follow every other financial system in human history and be used for a mix of purposes, and thus require the same mitigations.

DT fusion doesn't appear to have much to recommend it, since it still requires a thermal cycle like fission or coal, and that keeps its cost high.

It's usually the elites who inherited the colonial extractivist machine and are keeping it running. If they preach about "subjugation" it's only to avoid responsibility for failing to reform the country in a way that doesn't benefit them. People who tried actual reforms quickly found their countries intervened by foreign powers.

Musk, the Anti-Censorship Crusader, Allegedly Shadowbanned ElonJet Account
A bit of a different meaning of "hack".

I was working for a medical device company that shall remain nameless. They had a system that was used in operating rooms that had a fairly nice user interface - bubble keyboard, touch screen, good graphics. It let you input patient information and stuff. (At least part of it was running embedded Linux under the hood.)

In the source code, I saw what it did with the patient name - it used a call to system() to store it in a file. So naturally, I tried an injection attack. I put in "[Name]; sync; sync; reboot". Sure enough, it rebooted the system.

But before the reboot, it had also saved the "patient name" in the file (and, because of the "sync", it had been written out). On boot, it read the information from the file and tried to treat it like a newly-entered patient name, which caused it to reboot again...

We had to re-image the device to recover. We added some validation to user input after that little demonstration.
If the CDN is just a part of your architecture that you voluntarily setup then you’re likely the one violating. Even if not the CDN very likely has an indemnification clause in their contract which would shift that liability back to you.
