> I don't even see how this one even helps anyone even in theory. Is it even any faster than dialing 911?

How do you dial if you can't see your phone? One of the things I miss about my old landline phone is that I could dial it entirely by feel. In any kind of accident or medical condition that makes me lose my vision I would not be able to dial a smartphone on-screen keyboard (or even pull up the phone app in the first place).

I realized this a few years ago when I suddenly had a black spot appear in one eye. The black spot expanded over the course of a few seconds until I could no longer see anything in that eye. Aside from one eye no longer working, I felt fine. As I was trying to decide if this was a "call 911" thing or a "drive to the emergency room" thing the black started contracting and went away. I felt find and did a few cognitive tests and coordination tests and passed so I decided to wait a bit and see if this was a one time thing. A month later it happened again, but since I was less surprised by it I was able to do some experiments and found that if I looked at a bright light I did see the black lighten and there was a particular spot off to the side where I could actually see (barely) the bright light. After that second incidence I did go to the doctor...and he found nothing. An MRI also showed nothing. So, still no idea what the hell it was, but it has not come back.

But it definitely made my realize it would be very useful to be able to summon help without having to see.

> If I were in an emergency, would I remember some weird trick like that at a time like that? Are they thinking that people in duress will rapidly and repeatedly squeez their phone naturally and so it dials when needed without you consciouly needing to?

I definitely remember at some point during setting up my iPhone (or maybe when I upgrade to the first OS that supported emergency calling?) there was a dialog that explained it and told me how to enable/disable it.

On my iPhone (iPhone X...I think there is some variation among different models) the settings (which are all on/off) are

• "Call with Hold" where if you hold the side button and a volume for a few seconds you get the emergency screen. If you continue to hold you get an alert sound and a countdown to calling 911. The emergency screen also has a slider for calling 911 and a slider to view your medical ID and a slider to power down the phone.

• "Call with 5 Presses". Press the side button 5 times to bring up the emergency screen, and sound the alarm and start the countdown to calling 911.

• "Countdown Sound". Turns the alert sound during the 911 countdown on or off.

BTW, when you dismiss the emergency screen the phone locks and disables Face ID until you enter your passcode. If you have to hand you phone to someone such as law enforcement, it is pretty easy when reaching into your pocket to get it to trigger "Call with Hold" if you have it enabled. Hold until you get haptic feedback, and then release before the 911 countdown starts so that you won't get an alarm. Then press the side button again to exit the emergency screen.

In general, it’s on the engineering users to do their due diligence and develop the right validation cases for their design products. The code developer can get as far as coming up with the mathematical and numerical verification of the code, but the possible end uses are too numerous for it to be feasible for them to develop validation cases for anything beyond some basic industry benchmarks.
The thought process of apple is that every saved person is worth whatever cost it might have especially if you as a company don't get to carry it. And the topic is fairly hard to discuss given that justification. You only need one single case where the feature was helpful to win the argument.
If using the OpenPGP applet over NFC is possible, then it's almost certainly possible to use the PIV one with age keys too!

The Andorid password-store app is working on an implementation of age in Kotlin (https://github.com/android-password-store/kage) and I think they already support passage stores. Maybe you could open a feature request for age-plugin-yubikey compatibility? If you do, feel free to tag me, and I can help make sure the formats are well specified.

The pros of modal editing is well documented, and I'm not even arguing about the superiority of vim over the likes of emacs.

People who believe using cursor to select, move, copy stuff are better than modal editing, even after all the argument, is probably not going to be swayed ever. As an almost pure vim user, I know how my own speed are significantly improved ever since I adopted vim and its modals, and I don't need to mentally construct keystrokes just like most people don't need to look at a keyboard to type.

The demonstration are mostly some edge cases that don't really happen, but the general speed over general editing, some `V}y` here, some `ci(` there, some `Vjj2>`, `c-vwwGx` etc is what makes vim really shine. And no we don't have to dig a dictionary to type those things, all I had to do was to open vim since that's how muscle memory works.

You can take a look at the abstract and then look for related articles in English.

You are dismissing articles that contradict your beliefs on the basis of lacking the capacity to read them, not of their content.

No comment on the other 3 references, thus that response does not contribute to the discussion, except for showing that you do not care about reaching some truth. But then again that account is only a few minutes old.
So why are some Apple fans complaining? They keep their chargers and will need a new cable when buying a new phone, is Apple exploiting this and selling cables at giant prices ? Also if iPad and the laptops already use USB then you might share same cables now if you are out of battery and you do not have a phone charger with you.
Partly IT but “network” to them means the entire operation including equipment, personnel, passengers, and cargo.

My understanding is this:

The greater the amount of working memory you have, the more efficient your cognition is. You can reach more conclusions / insights, and connect more dots per unit time than those with poorer working memory. Hence fluid intelligence mediates the rate at which crystalized intelligence can be acquired. The more crystalized intelligence you acquire, the more efficiently you can make use of the working memory you have as you have concepts that effectively compress a tonne of information you would otherwise have to load in and out of working memory if you didn't have them. Regardless of other factors, that particular feedback loop is going to operate the same for everyone, right?

I looked at simple examples (counters, fibonacci generator) of hardcaml in the github repo, but I don't see any obvious advantages over systemverilog, verilog, or VHDL (the industry standard languages). Why would one use hardcaml over these?
I also note the part about "I’ve felt like my emotions have gotten stronger except for anger."

So far as I'm aware, there's zero evidence that women's emotions are stronger (what would that even mean?), and certainly not that while the other emotions are stronger, anger is excepted. I'm pretty certain that women experience anger just as strongly as men.

As mentioned down-thread, this could be placebo. But there are also lots of other potential explanations, ranging from the simple passage of time, maturation, and aging, to immense relief at having achieved their transition, and so on.
You are right in many senses. Modern organisations do value specialisation, and tend to perceive the organisation as a legible machine with specialist components. This tends to be particularly prevalent among HR, professional management, outside consultants and such.

That sense, I think it's a false perception. Organisations don't really run on specialisation. Generalists are what make the organisation run, with the mist important specialisation being specialisation in the company itself.

Realistically, very few of the supposed specialists really are specialists. There are, of course, a few roles where specialists reside. Roles that require deep or intricate knowledge, but these tend to be few.

IMO, many of the failings in modern organisations are related to this tension between theory or ideal and reality.

People are handed specialised roles, and then expect to be handed tasks that map to this speciality. Very often, the real problems don't fit this mold. This is where we get team where no one can do anythibg unless everyone is doing. everything. It's where we get busywork, because middle managers job becomes finding tasks that fit neatly into roles.

Musk real achievements has been convincing people that he is better than he actually is.

Without the nazis Wernher Von Braun won't have happened and consequentially the v-2 rocket engines and the "now working for the Americans" Lunar landing.

Without Musk we would not have Musk, which is a net benefit per se, if you ask me.

- Nov 21, 2022 - The Twitter boss laid off the workers late Sunday, further trimming a staff that has lost almost 5000 workers since Musk took over

- Nov 17, 2022 - SpaceX fired 9 employees who organized an open letter describing Elon Musk's tweeting as a 'distraction and embarrassment,' report says

- May 20, 2022 - A SpaceX flight attendant said Elon Musk exposed himself and propositioned her for sex, documents show. The company paid $250,000 for her silence.

- In December, former SpaceX engineer Ashley Kosak published an essay meticulously detailing alleged sexual harassment at the company

- in June by a group of SpaceX employees releasing a statement saying Musk’s frattish behavior was “a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment” and asking Musk to stop being, well, a creep

- ‘How Many Women Were Abused to Make That Tesla?’
Seven women are suing the Elon Musk-led company, alleging sexual harassment

the last one is particularly interesting as a story, the billionaire frat boy pretending people to love the company, love him, never openly criticize what he does and says, like he's an Egyptian Pharaoh (actually they were more tolerant towards their people)

I'm not honestly convinced.

I will never understand the tendency to idolize bad people just because they had enough money to pull together something of dubious usefulness at best for the general public.

I often read heavy criticism against China here, but China is actually solving problems by manufacturing their affordable EVs, without having to rely on a billionaire deus ex machina to sell to the people as a savior.
“You have to respect the interests of other people, care for the environment and take responsibility for your own actions.”

My experience is the (few) individuals that struggle with this (leaving litter, leaving gates open, trampling crops, letting dogs into animal pastures, interfering with other peoples recreation) really do spoil it for everyone and irreparably damages relations with landowners
That multiple government wanted to secure supplies is logical. That multiple governments decided to do so by lying about the effectiveness of the face masks is suspicious.

It reminds me of a time where multiple governments were really sure that Irak had WMDs.

Could you specify which "useful practices and tooling" do you mean?
I use vim keys everywhere I can, so from my standpoint “stupid” UI choices are the ones that don’t support modality. I would really prefer having vim keys optional built ins everywhere. Your situation is simpler though - you can just avoid using vim or whatever, there’s plenty of other options available.

Also calling personal preferences of lots of people “stupid” is far from reasonable. I’ve met a lot of smart folks who used vim and emacs, so from my personal experience it’s not correct.

Taking sex differences in personality seriously involves taking the reality seriously that women are treated radically differently than men in almost every society on earth, and that radical difference is generally that women are a permanent lower caste, and are victims of violence far more than they are perpetrators of violence.

These goofy exercises in the eugenics of common sense and the obvious all require us to believe that if I raise one mouse in a dark 6 in^3 wooden box, and let another mouse run free (or even in a different kind of box), that at the end of that process I should still have two identical mice. The fact that men and women have different personalities and cultures is no more necessarily genetic than the fact that the English and the French speak entirely different languages.

Apologies, I'll formalise for you. The issue is that a person is doing something the entire scientific community says is a bad idea, and I belive the race and gender of the CEO lead to what I think is a incorrect sense of entitlement to use the world as a test-lab.
This is not a good faith argument. Nobody needed nutritional science to tell them a malnourished mule didn't do mule things very well, physics to tell them water flowed downhill, etc. People of the past believed in witches and superstition for things their senses, experiences and intuition could not explain. Likewise the achievements in science have mostly been in explaining what we can't observe with human hardware. For example replacing miasma theory with germ theory, understanding and harnessing electromagnetism, etc.

Beyond Primitivism: Toward 21st Century Anarchist Theory and Praxis for Science
Schools have their issues, but children learn essential skills and knowledge of the world at schools. Without public schools, most children would learn almost nothing in comparison and society would absolutely deteriorate.

There are scarcely any other institutions, parents included, that are capable of teaching children how to read, write, do math, science fundamentals, etc.

We should be dumping 1000x the amount of money we currently are into public schools. Teachers ought to be among the best paid members of the middle class. Yes, schools have their issues, but the solution is to recognize the critical function they serve and the massive underselling of what they could do for us if treated properly as an asset, and to start funding them correctly.
> if there is some new better standard can we ever move to it?

It seems inevitable that phones and most tables will move to all wireless eventually. The only thing holding it back is faster charging. The EU standard doesn't prevent Apple from moving to a wireless charging method as I've understood. The regulation only covers the case where you have cable for charging.

So yes, since the new standard will likely be wireless, or semi-wireless (like MagSafe), Apple can probably move to it.

My pet theory for why Apple hasn't moved to USB-C already is they didn't want to send the signal that USB-C is getting long term support on phones from them. Sticking to Lightning forces makers of peripherals to use Bluetooth or WiFi if they want a solution that works for all phones and is future-proof, and I think that's exactly what Apple wants. The problem is the transition has been delayed much longer than they hoped for, since wireless charging technology hasn't developed as fast as they hoped (see the last-minute cancellation of the AirPower charging mat for a dramatic example of their miscalculation there)

It's not a very well-designed experiment. Aside from changing hormone levels, there's a slew of other variables: Relief at having achieved their transition, aging and maturation, actual memory of past feelings and experiences, and so on. Further, simply using one's self-reported perceptions doesn't provide a very secure footing for a serious result. Sure, use it to drive curiosity and do further experiments. But don't believe your deriving too much "truth" at this point.

Forty-two percent of California's workers in science, technology, engineering and math occupations were born in a foreign nation

Digging deeper, we see that 20.7% of foreign born with bachelor's degrees are in STEM occupations compared with 11.4% for similarly educated USA born

As of 2017, over 40 percent of the U.S. doctoral-level workforce was foreign-born. In computer sciences, mathematics, and engineering, nearly 60 percent of PhD holders in the U.S. workforce are foreign-born

What happens when these people start to go home? Why don't American kids want to prepare themselves for these high-paying jobs?
