> Which source? The charger or the device? Because either could be at fault.

Any device acting as a power source - but you need PD for this so you can create power contracts that are compatible with the root power source, and you're not describing a PD situation, so this is not possible.

Probably your router does limit downstream power, but due to many years of devices ignoring the 500mA limit, these limits are usually very liberal so as to avoid users complaining that the USB port doesn't work with device X. PD helps with this by establishing a way for sources and sinks to negotiate a clear power delivery contract that the source can be strict about limiting.

4W is more than non-PD USB can supply, so the fact that it doesn't work is not that surprising.
Presumably just the eras equivalent of Hákarl or Surströmming was left, alongside the pizza-with-pineapple equivalent and Dr. Pepper-equivalent.
You know why these substances exist right? Because the prior substances were cutting a hole in the ozone layer. And at the time the new-then substances weren't proven bad yet.

And those ozone eating substances themselves came about because the prior refrigerants were more flammable or poisonous and the then-new substances were not yet proven bad.

It's an endless game of whack-a-mole.

I suspect the Bay Area model is more common where the dominant traffic on a bridge is two-way commute traffic that can’t easily escape the toll regime for one side of the commute. In that case, one-way tolls reduce infrastructure and operating costs, and traffic impacts, of toll collection without any significant downside.
The whole point of market economies is to let people vote with their resources. The alternative of having people vote for a representative body that regulates how they transact is far worse. Best case you get a almost as good outcome. Worst case is 49.9% of people suffer horribly under state enforced "social good".

> Respectfully, Americans can have this take because we created an environment where these companies could flourish

Flourish is a generous term.. There are countless examples of companies in all industries who will take full advantage of no regulations in the pursuit of profits solely.

And only when it's too late and they have caused so much chaos for people will they lobby for their own "symbolic" regulations.

There is a happy medium in there somewhere, but the US model is not it.
Actually, it's not only that Netflix is popular, but also that Netflix content is heavy... so fewer user are generating more IP traffic comparing to another website as popular as Netflix

Anyway, in the end, the ISP may just "limit Netflix bandwidth". Then he will lose some customers (changing ISP)... but Netflix will lose some customers too (leaving Netflix because of bad quality compared to another content provider). This would be a lose/lose game

Or both may agree to share a part of the burden of "heavy contents", most for ISP et a bit for Netflix
As the sibling suggests, somewhere like Sweden is probably closest. But yes, I'm advocating for something not yet successfully created (or even attempted as far as I'm aware).
Speaking as one of the apparently few people out there who really love JavaScript (as in ES3, it was fine), yes, this framework hype has gone much too far and has favoured a rather single-minded monoculture in web development. Having said that, well, the Web is slower now, which may be an accomplishment.
This is true, and I think it highlights a major structural flaw in our society. Our lives really shouldn't be as dominated by our jobs as they are, particularly with how productivity has skyrocketed in the past several decades.
Saw someone on a canal forum in the UK recently who documented how they'd received a letter addressed simply [Name of Boat] [Name of town they were in a few weeks earlier ] via a combination of a postman and a boater who knew which direction they were headed in.

> Free market at work. It only took the inefficient guberment to step in for competition to materialize.

Your lack of knowledge on the matter mixed with self-righteousness is astounding. I suggest you to research beyond newspaper headlines.

Insulin that's being sold today is very different from insulin that was invented a century ago. The reason it's so different is precisely because private businesses had incentives to innovate, which resulted in prolonged patient lives.

You know what slows down modern insulin from becoming cheap in the US, even after patents have expired? A government agency called FDA. By the time you can get your generic insulin to the market, it might become obsolete. Competition isn't materialized, it is artificially limited by the bureaucratic government.

(not to mention that patents themselves are also enforced by the government, but that's a much more complex topic)

In order to get cheaper insulin you need less government, not more. Evidently, that's why insulin is cheaper in India, China, or Mexico.

> Tell me why, in an efficient market, the government would need to step in and start it's own production [2] or even mandate [1] price caps?

Californian local production of insulin is an attempt, we've yet to see the results. It is quite possible that those funds would be better off spent on directly buying insulin instead of producing it.

Oh and by the way, you know how California plans to "produce" the insulin in the first years of the program? By outsourcing it to private companies. Isn't it convenient that those exist?

And, as illustrated earlier, price caps are a government "crutch" to cover a bigger government (FDA) inefficiency.

>I'm not saying being robbed is anywhere near as bad as getting sexually harassed or raped but I never thought the line of questioning was really unreasonable. Even if I've heard the advice being told it again by someone I know can be helpful because even if I'm told it constantly I still need to be reminded not to be a dumbass and go out at night dressing like I'm well off or whatever because someone will rob me and I have a bad memory with that kind of stuff.

You still shouldn't be blamed for being robbed. You're right that depending on the area and the time of night, crime can be more likely (although plenty of crime can take place in broad daylight) and being aware of that in advance makes sense. But that still doesn't make the crime your fault and you still weren't asking for it. And assigning blame or calling you a dumbass for getting robbed still isn't OK.

But being robbed, even at gunpoint, is different than being sexually assaulted or raped. And most rapes don't happen in bad areas late at night by random strangers. Most rapes are people the victim knows. That's what makes questions about "what you were wearing" and "did you lead him on" even more offensive.
Wikipedia about TT: "It is a theoretical ideal, and real clocks can only approximate it. [...] TT is indirectly the basis of UTC, via International Atomic Time (TAI)."

So, TAI is what we are able to measure. TT is a theoretical construct. Can't run computers on TT, can run them on TAI.
Um, if the stabilizer moves, it works. No need to test airflow.
In principle, repeated choice of whether or not to use a specific product is a form of negotiation, where each choice provides information to the seller, who can then update their pricing accordingly. In practice, this is an extremely weak signal, is swamped out by market changes, assumes zero cost of switching, ignores network effects, etc. One of many reasons why I distrust economist’s assertion of fairness.
that's complexity introduced by your approach to the solution (using an inadequately large computer) rather than essential to the problem you're trying to solve

> Why would you want talent that is laser-focused on specific keywords?

I think it's a bit different: the head-hunter agencies screen for these keywords, so programmers are incentivized to put those keywords into their resumes. Since programming jobs are seen as short-term investments anyways, programmers are looking at the jobs as the stepping stones to their later jobs, and so they feel pressured to look for a job where they can learn / hone the skill that they believe will be valuable in the job after this, and so on.

I forgot the name of the statistician who claimed that no matter the performance metric, if it is made known to the (human) subjects being so measured will quickly become irrelevant since the measured will learn to game the system. This is the result of applying a metric that grades on the number of years of experience with technology X, where the subjects are trying to optimize for their years of experience with technology X instead of a more complex and open-ended metric of being more knowledgeable or more talented or more dedicated etc. which aren't immediately and objectively measurable.
Those might be bad decisions for the employees, but those might be good decisions for the company.

Basically, scoop up talent while you can, then cut the lowest performers. It's basically the last step in a thorough interview process.
Both parties are with the capitalists. The Dems have been Neoliberal for quite some time, so I don't find this actually that surprising.

Mate of mine used to have conversations with the postman on postcards that while while they were addressed to us ALL the text was directed towards the postman.
It's been over 30 years. But they'd read something like;
"Hi Mr.Postman, hope you're having a good day. The weather here is quite lovely. I've been drinking quite a bit. How's your rounds going? Hope it hasn't been raining too bad? Have you broken in the new boots yet? I hear you're getting new bicycles?"

Your anecdote about your son's behavior is the kind of insight that convinces me that parents have a window into the future the rest of us don't. I'm relatively young (mid 20's), but even still it's clear to me the even younger generations are developing fundamentally different ways of operating in the world than I did.

I think phenomena like the reverse network effect resulting in isolating young people are terrifying. I don't know what will be the ripple effects, but I'm inclined to think they won't be good. I also don't know what to do about it, but I get the feeling this is going to become a huge problem modern society hasn't paid enough mind.
They want this, the interview from their CEO sorta confirmed that to me, he said some crap about wanting to release it slowly for "safety" (we all know this is a lie).

You are correct, we do not have an official answer directly from USPS. The article says they still need to review which routes will work best with BEVs.

However, it is highly likely that, for the local offices and route which they find to be suitable they will build chargers in the lots, because 1) others in this space have already done this and it works, and 2) the place where the vehicles are currently parked is the place where it makes the most sense to park the vehicles, logistically.

I guess the days when refunds were frictionless so that consumers could purchase with confidence are gone? Refunds have always been a cost of doing business - it just seems the processors / card companies want to change the rules and have their cake and eat it now that cash is mostly dead.
Did people downplay the severity in Ecuador, or did the piles of bodies make people take it seriously? Where I'm from (Northern Europe) the bodies were definitely not piling up.

If you've ever worked somewhere where there's been layoffs, you'll know that of the remaining employees, all of the best people immediately start looking for jobs elsewhere. If management is so incompetent that they overhired or underperformed bad enough to lay people off, the writing is on the wall to jump ship. It can take years to repair the motivational and cultural damage caused by a layoff. Especially when paired with "soft" layoff behavior like mandating RTO and "performance" management.
Respectfully, its mostly because anything that is successful in Europe is immediately purchased by the big US tech giants.

Mojang and Skype come to mind. As well as three of my former companies that are now owned by Oracle.

The EU market is definitely harder, it is not as contiguous and large as the US one, even the smallest required task: localisation, is hugely expensive.

So you can hit a critical scale faster in the US, sure, but any time anyone actually conquers Europe all that awaits them is acquisition.
Sadly users still expect refunds for any reason. Charging a 3% fee on a refund is a cause for a shtfit.
You can cache all dependencies in one go whenever you want. It doesn't have to be done in real time when the code is run.
I'd be fine with the EU proposing certain standards that must be met in order for an app to be used as an official messaging app, like:

[ ] - Can send and receive basic text messages
[ ] - Can send and receive rich text messages (bold, italics, underline, headings, etc.)
[ ] - Ability to send and display file formats (debatable which ones - maybe force custom animated emojis to be transmitted, cached for later use as compatible file formats (webm, gif, etc.)

Just as an example.

The EU is going to mess it up, as they likely will by forcing all companies to "fall in line" with standards that will likely not be updated frequently, instead of allowing smaller companies to innovate first, then enforcing current policies if there's too much BS behaviour in the industry.

See - current rumors of Apple creating "special" Apple USB-C cables that will be the only ones to allow faster charging and data transfers, compared to other high-quality USB-C cables that an iPhone won't permit to have high data transfer rates and will charge devices slowly. You can set the standard, but companies with enough money and legal know-how can still bypass the intent of the law! Smaller companies can't compete on the accessories market.

Unless other government are serious about this (the EU is a fairly small market segment compared to the rest of the world), we're going to see more of this regulation dodging and chicanery from massive companies while smaller ones suffer or struggle to succeed in a marketplace dominated by capital interests.

I have to say, for some reason one of the more satisfying things to do is dramatically speed up a lengthy build. It’s hard to beat taking a build that runs forever and making it take a few seconds.

I don’t know why. Perhaps it’s because it’s something you and your peers use constantly so when it speeds up the quality of life for all in the shop improves. I mean, it’s not often you get to make an improvement to your project that directly affects everybody working on it.

Perhaps it’s because of the challenge and that most developers absolutely hate fucking around with the build system. Example: the parent poster. Build systems are can be pretty archaic but have a ton of features that most people don’t exploit.

Perhaps it’s because it is easy to timebox and has a readily apparent set of diminishing returns. You can generally make a single change, push it to production and if that is the only change you made you’ve still added value.

Perhaps it is because almost all of the changes you make don’t alter how the end user (other devs) use the build system. Short of swapping the build system entirely most of the time everything you do changes nothing for the developer.

Perhaps it is because it is a good distraction from whatever it is you should be working on. You can squeeze it into spaces where you don’t have much in the pipeline or need to think something through.

Whatever it is, I love fucking around with build systems.
> Its never a burden

I watched my parents, and especially my mom, give up their entire youth caring for my dad’s excessively elderly parents.

They sacrificed portions of mine and my sister’s childhood to take care of two people, who from the age of 75 to almost 100 (both of them), were a net loss to the family since they did not speak English, could not drive, and “needed” home cooked meals 2 to 3 times per day.

It was absolutely a burden for my family, and I hope to never be the parent that needs chronic care, and I am certainly not wanting my kids and grandkids to give up their youth for my senescence.
Cat's out of the bag with family planning. If we want more kids we need to make it an option that doesn't impose severe economic penalties. You have one in America and childbirth alone can bankrupt you.
