I disagree. Apple is monopolistic at every turn.

Example: My Garmin watch is not "Made For Apple" certified, probably because Garmin thinks that revealing their secrets to Apple, a direct competitor, is a bad idea. As a result, the Garmin Connect App does not get the same priv level and first class treatment on iOS.

Besides, all Apple has to do is say, "if it's not a MFI accessory, then you're on your own, good luck, but something with the MFI tag next time". Actively shutting down the competition is a monopolistic behavior.

Selling shovels in the goldrush…
This brings us back to feudalism.

Reminds me of how princes of old used to sell the right to collect taxes on all sorts of things to the highest bidder.
If you are buying at MSRP, the RAV4 Prime almost never makes sense without the federal tax credit (that it no longer qualifies for). If you buy one, you are doing it for the increased performance or your own desire to have a PHEV. If you are simply in it for the most economical RAV4, get the regular hybrid trim.
But no one said Dravidian. Thank you for clearing that up.

Same question: Are you saying they are based off of a Dravidian language?
Not communal idyll but a shift in expectations.

The internet, social media, higher living standards, globalization, etc. all of these things have moved people out of their local bubble and into a global worldview. It's much easier to be depressed when your expectations are 10x those of your parents or grandparents because you are now growing up in a more stable time and have more exposure to what is possible.

There will be exceptions but talk to older boomers or ideally the silent gen then talk to a recent college grad. I'm not playing "whose suffering is the greatest" or "greater suffering invalidates lesser suffering" but there is a massive difference in perspective and expectations.

I fall into the expectations trap myself and talking to older family members helps me get grounded, avoid doom-spiraling, and appreciate the freedom and opportunities that exist today.
More than a decade ago I submitted my DNA to the National Genographic Project [1] which was an attempt to trace ancient human migration using Y chromosome and
mitochondrial DNA from a sampling of people around the world.

My paternal Y-chromosome line showed an ancient mutation (>50K year ago) carried by humans who had likely spread through a coastal migration from Africa around coasts of the Arabian Sea down to South India and eventually thousands of years later to Australia. My ancestors are from the west coast of India. About 5% of Indians carry this mutation (shared with indigenous australians) according to the data that was available at that time.

As we gather more data our understanding of human migration inevitably clashes with identity politics/nationalism and previous simplistic pre-scientific classifications based on skin color and facial features: Aryan invasion, Dravidian etc. Human migration appears to be much richer. There have been many migrations of humans groups both in and out of the Indian subcontinent going on for more than 50K years.

> The USB-IF won't certify a cable

And so? How many people know that USB-IF exists? How many people know how to tell if USB-IF has certified a cable? If you don't have the packaging, how do you know if the cable is certified?

The USB-IF is pretty inadequate here, even if we ignore the existence of fake certifications. They can't even work out how to mark the different USB-C cables so you know which ones are what kind, leading to all sorts of problems and confusion for users.

> And WHY haven't we advanced beyond the human/computer interface introduced 50 years ago? Quite simple really: technical innovation is not seen as driving shareholder value.

Well, in of itself it doesn't. You need to come up with technology that has applied uses that people are willing to pay for.

The Xerox WIMP (Windows, Icons, Mice, Pointers) UI was (and still is) very well adapted to desktop computers with increasingly large screens and increasingly powerful CPUs (multi-tasking - windowed UI), as well as to humans that are very visually driven as well as adapted to use hands (mouse) to manipulate things.

Finally, in recent years we are moving past WIMP, especially for mobile, in the guise of user interfaces driven by gestures, voice and now (ChatGPT) natural language interaction. These are again things that play to human interaction modalities, but have only been enabled (as well as demanded - mobile form factor) by technological advance.

Product Design

Hiya. I’m a Designer who loves crafting user interfaces and bringing them to life.

I’ve had the opportunity to work on some great projects with amazing people at companies like Apple, Sunshine, and Zynga. I’m a fun team player that’s had the privilege to work directly with industry pioneers at their startups – like Marissa Mayer and Mark Pincus. One startup, superlabs, was even acquired. No matter the environment and team, I thrive as a valuable teammate committed to delivering a great product. I’m excited to explore new opportunities for growth as a Designer. Let's chat!

I’m simply pointing out that it’s not obvious how to implement teachers proctoring other classrooms’ exams in order to prevent the home room teacher from giving out answers for financial benefit. It’s not pragmatic when principals, guidance counselors, other-subject teachers and permanent subs are shoring up massive shortages across the country.

If someone wants to try then go for it. But there are a lot of other well-researched interventions that are hard to implement in classrooms for similar pragmatic reasons. If we are going to ignore facts on the ground, then those would be the obvious ones to me.

Federal, state and local tax dollars that school principals probably have a better idea on how to spend.

"Classical" chess engine (those based on alpha-beta search) are indeed better because they calculate faster, although so insanely faster that there is probably not enough time in a _lifetime_ for a human to win a single game against it.

The more recent chess engines (LeelaChess, and the latest versions of Stockfish) use neural nets to allow for more shallow calculations without decreasing game quality. In this case the engine is better because it's just "more intelligent" (and nobody understands how).
The evidence for not being a lab leak was just as weak as being a lab leak.
But only one of these scenarios was ridiculed, cancelled, censored, banned by the media. We also know that senior people in the US medical establishment responsible for funding research at the Wuhan lab had a strong motive to discredit the lab leak hypothesis.

I agree we may never know the truth with certainty but we can be 100% certain that the media is garbage, pure and simple.
the point i am trying to make is about 'vehicle integration'
most of the oems don't make their own emotors. they 'engineer' vehicle attributes and provide the suppliers like Bosch with system level targets. this process is generally referred to as target cascading. if i want motor to sound xdB at driver ear, my vehicle needs to provide ydB isolation and then source needs to be at zdB, if this process is not hashed out well, you end up with poor isolation. you also have to consider variability in source and your manufacturing.
This is the area where an automaker shines or crumbles, doing this poorly results in poor experience and hence poor reliability/quality. most of major oems think rivian is struggling in this area and just now laid of most of the sme's lol

You know how Apple has those ridiculously sized power bricks that make it very difficult to use standard power strips with? I once had someone tell me that normal power strips had their ground faced horizontally, and that it was 'unusual' for me to have the vertical power strips (which are nearly unbiquitous, as far as I can tell) - that was their reasoning on why Apples massive bricks posed no issue for power strips.
The limit was 150mA on connection then 500mA after enumeration. A compliant USB 1.0 device had to conform with a variable load 25 years ago just as much as as today's do.

From what I can tell, this language builds on the learnings of Eve[1] without any investor money (Eve ran out of funding[2]). The state of the project is questionable, as can be seen by the dates on this page. Their active repository seems to be on GitLab[3] despite the links on the landing and in the README. It doesn't look like it has a lot of contributors or even people observing it, so I thought the HN crowd might want to look into this. I tried to find a Discord server or something like that, but it looks like they just communicate over email, so I have no clue as to what use they're making of their potential community involvement.

Thanks to solar panels my EV charging has no ongoing cost.

Frankly even if solar were even with gasoline I'd still prefer solar because I generate it myself. No supply chain issues, refining problems, or oil disruptions can stop me from driving or increase my cost to drive.

If you keep saying "infrastructure is not there" then it will never get there. You need demand to kickstart infrastructure deployment. Maybe infrastructure isn't good where you live but for a lot of people it exists and continues to improve. Lots of parking lots in the bay area have electric charging points now - there were approximately zero just 10 years ago.

Electricity has the benefit of an existing grid everyone is already connected to, large chunks of time when that grid runs at a tiny fraction of its capacity, and really easy capacity upgrade paths that operators already do all the time (eg when an industrial plant expands or a new commercial facility is built).
It was faster to do a SPAC than an IPO.
In Texas the state government does not want the toll roads to become public because the revenue collected from gasoline taxes and vehicle registration is not enough to pay for their upkeep.
How does this work? This means the consumers have to somehow know the IDs of every message that's been sent and if it's been processed.

Either you have a shared database and all consumers are local, in which case why are you passing messages at all, or you have a distributed system somehow. If you have a distributed system, you've got this problem, and going recursive probably won't help much.

Or I've missed something.

> Something like 80% of Australian languages are from Indian-derived language families and developed from around the time of the Dingo introduction (only 4000 years ago)

I'm assuming you're referring to the Pama-Nyungan family, which predates the dingo by nearly 2000 years?

I can't find any documentation of the Indian language families connection, do you have any?

This reminds me of the Tamil nationalists who, like some Serbs, like to claim that their language is the ur-language.

I can tell you that I'm not bothered by this at all.

The same thing that causes a squeal when your rubber shoe rubs along a smooth floor. That's not a smooth rub. It's 'grab-release, grab-release, grab-release, ....' until friction finally stops the movement.

The number of 'grab-release' cycles depends on the starting force and the amount of friction. The amount of starting force depends on the amount of movement in the tectonic plates.

Fast tectonic plates rubbing together cause lots of earthquakes, slower tectonic plates cause fewer earthquakes. Some places have earthquakes so rarely - very little tectonic movement, and some places seem to have them all the time - lots of tectonic activity. See 'Ring of Fire'.

WunderGraph | Senior DevOps Engineer | Full-time | Remote in EMEA | https://wundergraph.com/jobs/senior-devops-engineer
We are building WunderGraph cloud, the infraless API developer platform. Without a single thought about infrastructure, developers can integrate any back-end in seconds and deploy to production in minutes. The underlying technology makes deployments insanely fast, but at least in this case, we do need to create and maintain a robust infrastructure, so our users don’t have to. :)

As a DevOps Engineer at WunderGraph, you will be in charge of

- Helping the team to implement, deploy and maintain the necessary infrastructure

- Operating and orchestrating our cloud infrastructure

- Defining adequate monitoring of our cloud services and virtual machines

- Implementing and deploying measures to make our cloud even more robust, secure and scalable across the globe / on the edge

- Automating as much as possible

- Efficient use of our cloud resources (traffic, load, provisioning)

- Documenting and planning new solutions

If the recipient fails after telling the deduping machine what it has seen, the recipient's failover will be in an unknown different state. And now the failover machine has to try to figure out what its state should be, what is going on, and so on. You can add ways to addressing each possibility here, and you'll get ever more obscure chains that again can result in failure. At the cost of ever increasing complexity, you'll make failures ever more complicated.

Frequently developers who implement these manage to do two bad things. First they introduced a lot of complex code which rarely triggers except in disaster, and so whose bugs tend to survive. And second, they manage to convince themselves that they have accomplished the impossible, and make reliability promises that other developers unwisely believe. Exactly how unreliable most systems were and how much the documentation couldn't be trusted was underappreciated until https://jepsen.io/ came along and started proving how bad most distributed software was.

Now it may seem bizarrely unlikely that you'll ever see this kind of situation. But failures often start from network congestion due to a packet storm. And the failures lead to chatty Byzantine fault tolerance protocols adding significant traffic. This causes cascading failures. And so a small, simple outage can escalate into a series of outages as ever more confused servers continue overwhelming the network with their futile attempts to discover what is supposed to be true. So complex combinations of failures occur together more often than most of us would expect.
The federal government pays pretty well for scientists and engineers.

I've got a few friends at JPL and they are paid around that.

I was a researcher under UC Regents many years ago, run by the state of California. That pay, however, was terrible. When I left for private industry I asked for double what I had been making and they considered me a bargain.

It's an emotionally charged subject, which is unfortunate as it's objectively fascinating from a purely historical perspective.

The simplified and (generally) commonly accepted narrative is that a cohesive group arrived here 45-60,000YA, lived peacefully and in harmony with the land right up until Europeans arrived.

There's some debate about the megafauna extinctions, but no conclusive evidence either way. (I did appreciate Dr Yuval Noah Harari's summary of the phenomenon in his book Sapiens.)

If it turns out that the original population was partly / mostly replaced (linguistically, culturally, genetically) relatively recently, that potentially complicates a lot of the cultural positioning.

As I say, it's a shame, as the migration (including ethno & linguistic) paths over the past ~100k years are just amazing.
> you had to factory-order it.

Nitpick. You don't factory order a Subaru (or Toyota, or any other Japanese automaker for that matter). You can put your desired specs on a waitlist, however, for when one that matches comes out of the pipe. This is distinct from a domestic manufacturer like GM, where you absolutely can place an order for a car exactly matching your desires, and it will get allocated and produced with your name already on it, configured exactly as you want.
That's not lobbying. That's 'business' /s

I'm not religious but I think about this often. I know multiple young families that aren't "very religious" but seek out a church as soon as they move to a new place, for the community.

There are some secular community groups and activities but nothing that really replaces organized religion. Especially in the way that a church community cuts through a cross-section of society while most other communities are organized around more specific subsets and interests.

Source is I run a library. We pay outrageous prices for eBooks which 1) aren't actually owned, 2) can't be bought used or donated, 3) may expire after a fixed term or number of circulations, and 4) generally have to be managed within vendor-specific eBook lending platforms which in the not-that-long run are going to cost any library more than a set of shelves.

Some useful commentary here: https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/sta...

[Edit] As for whether this makes sense for libraries, we have to meet the demands and expectations of our users whether it makes sense or not. The hope (HOPE) is that given enough time and changes in the market, some of the terms under which we now acquire and pay for digital resources will become more favorable to libraries, but that could be a long way away. What I can tell you is that there are probably about 0 universities (in the US) who are actually prioritizing physical collections development over digital in spite of the costs.
This is a really interesting counterpoint that I hadn’t considered. The fair value would be roughly somewhere between a 3x multiple of what the city could make by operating the meters (low value), and a 3x multiple of what a private operator could make (much, much more with higher prices). That is a huge range and the city wasn’t in much of a position to negotiate
