It’s still technically a nonprofit, they just created a (capped) for-profit subsidiary with the nonprofit as the sole controlling shareholder. This was done so it could bring in enough money through VC to pay competitive salaries while supposedly meaning the for-profit section will still be responsible for following the nonprofit’s founding charter.

That last part seems to be what has failed with the big question I have being what in that setup wasn’t done correctly such that the current reality wasn’t prevented.
Certainly the internet brings new problems that we have to grapple with, but overall I can't agree that it's net negative. Riffing on your phone example, are you really claiming that dealing with spam calls is bad enough to counteract the huge gains you get from being able to talk to your family and friends whenever you want? Imo that's not even close to true.

There's certainly a lot more bullshit to deal with today than there was in the past, and I can respect how leads to some level of existential angst and mental health issues, but I can't agree that it has overall made life worse.
They can potentially do it for data and certain accessories such as various addons and audio devices however not for charging.

The EU regulation requires that any device capable of charging above 15W to also provide support for USB-PD.

The TLDR is that between 0-15W any USB-C cable and charger should be able to charge @5V up to 3A as per the base USB-C spec.

For charging above 15W or above 5V any USB-PD certified cable and charger should be able to be used up-to the maximum allowed charging for that device or up-to 100W.

This has also impacted a lot of other handset manufacturers with proprietary fast charging solutions such as Samsung and Huawei.
The PASemi team took two years from acquisition to first Apple silicon. I'm guessing the Intel stuff was a lot messier. It's not like Intel was a streamlined company that excelled at embedded SoCs.
Could it also be, with the advent of Satellite SOS, that Apple is starting to explore non-conventional mobile RF protocols, and that Qualcomm's product offerings are only really geared towards generic, standards-based mobile networks.
I presume "grade level" was defined by the median student some time ago and has not been adjusted since. The fact that it's going down seems like bad news.

EDIT: It seems the headline is misleading and my take is not accurate.
Had a network drop in a VIP office that worked fine for 10 years until we upgraded to gigabit (this was around 2010). Our very, very crappy cable testers (basic continuity testers) all said the line was good. Had a low voltage guy we used test the line, he ripped it out, and found out half way up the wall, the wire was cut, and then each strand was spliced with electrical tape back together.
“Jumps” is somewhat of an exaggeration; it is never out of contact with the table it is on. A more truthful term might be “moves”, since it does move – i.e. achieve locomotion – by leaning over and sort of dragging its foot forward.
Unless she was doing those things in an AirBNB to other people there, I still find it creepy. These rules have nothing to do with the service. You don't get banned from a regular hotel for any of these reasons.
I think this issue is extremely complex and not something we can just address by saying, "You make more money. You're better off." It's factually correct to say we live in much more materially-abundant times today. In that respect, I think that the easiness of life has caused many to become more mentally weak. I don't think the solution is to go back to scarcer times. I think we need to recognize this and voluntarily introduce challenges into our lives; dare say I, a little bit of adversity.

My second thought is that we have weaker homes today than we did in times past. No, I don't think our ancestors were perfect. I could go on and on about how we've improved so much on many things. But homes were more stable in the past -- and that too is factually correct. I also think this weakens a teenagers support system and overall sense of love and security.

My third thought is that even if someone comes from a good home, great parents, and well-off, today -- we have social media. Anyone can recognize the mental struggle this has catapulted humanity into. That too is factual. And for teens, they probably have it worse than anyone because the need and desire for acceptance is at the absolute strongest during these years. And being excluded or bullied is a harsh reality for many teens; not to mention being in relationships, introducing social media, and combining that with a lack of real education, experience, and emotional maturity.

I don't have the answer, but if teens are offing themselves, something is wrong. And those of us who have already passed through that age should reach out and help.

Wow, thanks for visualizing this so vividly. I've never thought about it, but this is probably one more reason why Europe is as deforested as it is.
It is different from saying, "If we teach people to recognize ways they've been harmed, then they feel bad, so we shouldn't teach them how to recognize harm"?

Framed another way, it looks like the language of harm is winning in the marketplace of ideas and the language of "those aren't actually that bad," is losing.

Resume: https://github.com/hlfshell/resume/raw/master/resume.pdf
Portfolio: https://github.com/hlfshell/

I am an experienced backend cloud dev currently finishing my Masters of Robotics Engineering. I have extensive experience with backend systems. I have recently built remote data pipelines for multiple robotics startups and automated deep learning train/evaluate/deploy pipelines for machine vision products. I have built software that configures, coordinates, and manages fleets of robotic devices deployed across the globe.

Mostly recently ran the Infrastructure/Backend team for a robotic arm setup, acting as both senior engineering and team manager. I have ran multiple feature and product teams as team lead/tech lead in the past as well. I am interested in individual contributor focused roles, though I am fine acting in leadership roles.

I am looking to either continue applying my skill to interesting problems or work more directly with robotic software such as motion planning/vision.

I reside in San Diego but would be willing to relocate for the right offer. I am fine with remote work and have done so for the past 3 years.
If Apple allows baseline charging (5V @ 500mA) with an unmarked cable, that's not the worst thing either. That'll get you at least most of the way charged overnight, which would be good enough for a significant portion of users.
Right now, life expectancy in U.S. is dropping, not rising: https://datacommons.org/place/country/USA

The fact that some individuals survive longer than the average isn't an indication of the average outcome.

I sincerely hope that the trend does change direction, but I am currently skeptical.
Spaced repetition is particularly effective when it comes to memorizing a large volume of information quickly and retaining it for the long term. This is applicable to a wide range of subjects, including history (facts and dates), physics (formulas and laws), mathematics (formulas and laws), and many others.

There is often a misconception that subjects like physics are solely about understanding and reasoning, but at the school level, it is necessary to have a solid grasp of the laws and formulas. Without this foundation, it is like attempting to write a program in a programming language without knowing the syntax. You have to stop and look up the syntax for each line of code, slowing down the entire process. Some things simply need to be memorized to achieve a certain level of proficiency.
But at the same time, we are learning more about different pathways.

I think Ozempic and other similar drugs that target the hunger/metabolic pathways will be game changers. While they are expensive and inconvenient now, looking at a horizon of decades, you could easily see them becoming widely adopted.
Yeah, mark ups like that are why I canceled my Mach-e order in 2021. Tesla charged me what I saw on my order, which was refreshing at the time.
The article is very bad. But this specific point is because it tries to say that it's not because life got materially worse. It implies the problems is with culture, socialization or something like that.

Of course, all the evidence it has is that suicide trends are not correlated with short term noise on general measurements of the economy. Or, in other words, it's bullshit. But the hypothesis itself is valid and worth looking at.
In reality, you’d shut up and save the damn baby.

Apple really can't be told to do something against their will. It always has to have "the last word" and this behavior isn't new, the Korean Appstore debacle is just an example.

Of course there are "reasons", but let's be honest if Apple really wanted to comply and move on to better things this whole problem wouldn't even exist because Apple would have fixed it.
I haven't checked it thoroughly but would be grateful if you can share. Can you create a single app for mobile, desktop and web in capacitor?
They're also the reason behind the shitty Arm PCs. I despise Qualcomm.
I fumbled on an interview once when asked “tell us how a security initiative you led brought value to your organization”. I rambled on about average breach/downtime cost but i couldn’t quantify anything on the spot. In retrospect, I should have focused on manhours saved through prevention system. It’s a hard sell!
Phoenix being unlivable is such a fearmongered point. Much of Arizona is already out of extreme drought, and is set up to be extremely livable due to solar & nuclear power plus innovations made in air conditioning and pulling water out of the air.

They control the software for those platforms, and it can be updated.

Thanks for the links! Interesting to compare and contrast locations with this in mind.

In Indiana, seems 75th percentile electricians earn about the same as 25th percentile software engineers. In Nebraska, it's 90th electricians and ~35th software engineers. A lot to take into consideration, and a wider gap then I expected in non-tech hubs.

Grade level comprehension is an expectation set by the state. Having some standard to aim for gives us a better understanding of if students are generally regressing or progressing.

We're able to see tread lines over time, and raise alarms like this headline, when we know that students now are not learning as much as students of the past.
Low levels of parental involvement in education.
I'm surprised Nikola is even being treated as a valid company, with all the shenanigans they pulled.

Fisker seems to be aiming its sights a bit lower. I remember walking past their showroom in Bellevue, and oohing and ahhing at the supercars, therein.
It is a high impact high volatility opportunity. It’s not for everyone. If you can’t pass a drug test or a SF86, or need a ton of income, it might not be for you. But it is for some. Accept it for the tour of duty it is. Instead of an equity lottery ticket, you’re getting paid to improve public goods at nation state scale. We all seek different comp.
This data is from the California Dept of Education. I wonder if other states track this also.

My guess is that some states don't even bother, and their students likely don't perform as well. Then there are other states, small ones like Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont, whose students might fall on the high side of the curve.

Just a guess. Anyone know?
Yes, and the only reason the stock isn't already 0 is that people expect the Saudis to buy out the rest.
> Then there's the issue of cables that claim to have the E-Mark

And cables could also claim apple certification.

Fake certification isn't an argument for certification.
Expecting more moves like this.
I think that climate scientists are making accurate, reliable predictions when it comes to climate change- however, I have not heard any climate scientist saying things this extreme. It's important to not distort the situation in either direction. The earth will likely heat by 3 degrees C or thereabouts but it will take 50 years or more to get there, from what I understand.
This is true. But the comment above is true as well.

It depends on who you are and where you are at. I have certainly developed a habit for those one-turn attacks you describe. But going from short games back to slow chess and puzzles has been nice because I learned to manage how to think under that pressure.

I’m now learning how to play tennis (another cliché gentleman’s game, I know). What I’m discovering is that it is very similar - there is the simple repetitive and purely textbook aspect of hitting the ball at just the right angle to make it go where you want. And then there is the energy management under time and pressure. So you sort of have to straddle this tension between these two and you gradually descend into just barely holding it together.

My thought here is that ideal chess is very similar. There are the routine strategies, tactics and perfect moves. And then there is this raw impulsive fast paced aspect of just making the least awful move to just survive what is thrown at you with the bits of focus you still have left.
This particular Apple leaker does not have a great track record. They "leaked" a dual pill/hole camera design (and claimed to have actual photos) for the iPhone 14 that turned out not to be true.

While I would say it's certainly possible it's not a guarantee. Apple doesn't have a MeFi program for their USB-C enabled iPads so enforcing one for the phones only doesn't really make sense.
I wondered this a lot when I was a student in the 2000s. What fraction of kids take the tests seriously? What fraction put in the same effort as they would into their academic tests?

I had some friends who were poor students and didn't care much about school. I doubt these people put in much or any effort at all into these tests. I was a good student, but at a certain point I got burnt out too. It wasn't worth reading the 10th literature passage extra carefully, nor checking my work on each math problem. These tests are long and don't impact me: why should I give it my all?
Those are all individuals who had access to the finest health care on the planet, and teams of folks at various periods of their lives to focus on them and their health. Access to health care, and personalized health care on top of that is just one other aspect of the degree of luck it took them to reach those ages.

Whether it's a car accident, an earthquake, or an aggressive oncogene that gets activated by a cosmic ray or cup of diet pop, there are way too many things that will straight up kill us despite our otherwise healthy or privileged lifestyles.

Treating diseases does have an impact on extending the average lifespan, but early health interventions (that is, vaccinations, fewer babies dying from preventable illness or malnutrition, and women's pre- and peri-natal health care) has been far more impactful. Stretching that long-tail out in the future is going to require significant advances in treating and remediating aging and it's related indignities.
So... You don't have one? And don't personally know anyone who does? Sounds like "we" don't really have them, then.
You need to ignore dips and look at long term trends when reading graphs. If the end of your graph ends in a dip, that in no way implies the start of a downward trend.
You like sharing that you’re a reliable citizen with anyone. You (presumably) don’t like sharing every bit of information that goes into making that assessment, such as what you buy, when you sleep, where you go, how your heart rate fluctuates, whom you interact with.

What’s missing, in my opinion, is being able to prove that you have a good credit rating without revealing your bank statement. That your life insurance should be cheap because you live a healthy, low-risk life without revealing biometrics. That your car insurance should be low because not only did you never have an accident, you never break suddenly or travel near where accidents happen, but without revealing GPS or acceleration data.

And so on.

Zero-knowledge cryptography is not mainstream. I hope it will be.
As a California resident, I'm surprised there's no mention of % of ESL (english as a second language) students. There's a very large population of ESL students in California that drag down these statistics as the students catch up.

If english isn't your primary language, learning math that is taught in english will also be more difficult.
The failure of public education in this country is a national scandal. It should be the number one concern of everyone, and yet there's no outrage, no political wedge issue, no media -- what's going on?
You are picking the wealthiest people in the world as an example. Most of the population to even wealthy do not have access to this kind of health care, which is going to be exacerbated by health care rationing as populations explode due to international immigration.
There is a sophisticated scam targeting apple iPhone users, that starts with stealing the phone and ends with draining all financial accounts, there are hundreds of cases with damage in the five digits and apple doesn't care.

The remediations recommended are:

- alphanumeric passcode

- different passcodes for financial apps

- not using the native password manager

- not storing credentials for financial apps in any password manager

- if you have to enter the code do not do so in public or hide it

How an alphanumeric code helps defeat this adversaries is beyond me, because the video describes the attackers recording the code from over the shoulder.

Why MFA or tokens are not recommended, I do not know.
Won’t Apple have already encountered this with their iPads and MacBooks? Shouldn’t the fact that Apple already makes USB C accessories and devices make this much smoother?
I hope not. Anki did not work for me at all. I genuinely got worse at remembering things trying that spaced repetition stuff. Definitely not the way I learn things.
Looking at the history this doesn’t seem abnormal, and it hovers around 49%. This implies to me median is determined to be grade level (essentially) and it hasn’t moved materially beyond this point since the data was compiled and the entirely arbitrary definition of “grade level” was declared.

Would be interesting to see other states but it wasn’t immediately obvious if a similar dataset exists for anywhere else.

Given all this it seems entirely unclear if this should be viewed in some subjective sense as “good” or “bad.” It just seems to reflect things are “normal.”
I would imagine that a phone could also check for the E-Mark and limit charging power accordingly. (Presumably this is how USB-C already works, but maybe not. Certainly something tells the power sink the current limit, but I can imagine that the source queries the cable, computes (potentially incorrectly) the limit, and tells the sink, which then blindly trusts it.
Healthcare in america is also too expensive
> Do this for a decade or two and gain experience and you'll be making like $80K/yr

Hey, that's good evidence that the supply isn't actually very constrained. (But yeah, apprenticeship terms are bullshit.)
> there were lots of people, each with lots of time

I bet tons of Human innovation came from people just having time and nothing to do. I wonder, throughout history, if this was a privilege or if even ordinary people had time like this (obviously not the resources necessarily).

This is good to see, but it seems late and lacking by the time they'll come out. Bigscreen Beyond is the new VR benchmark. Hedging VR on AR might not be a winning formula vs choosing one. Apple may win AR and Valve/Bigscreen/etc can win VR with Meta lost in the middle.
(if this is true) it is like Apple is dead-set on destroying all the goodwill Apple has in the EU.
