That's true of literally every ruling of every case in history. If you're implying that they ruled incorrectly you're gonna have to provide an actual legal basis.

A lot of court rulings are basically come down to, "I don't like the logic but it follows" and you just have to live with them.
Nah. That only works if you are logged in. It's trivial to delete and account and make a new one. There's nothing particularly special about one's account (and, in fact, I regularly delete mine and create a new one so I don't get too attached to the 'number going up' on the karma.)
I am perpetually mystified by the engagement-industrial complex.

If I want to be "engaged" by some form of media, I keep the tab open until I consume it. Either that or it ends up in Pocket, where I might happen upon it on the next visit to getpocket.com/random.

Newsletters slamming into my inbox means it's just going to get lost in the noise -- context-switching notwithstanding (though probably the biggest factor), I can't imagine being so unimaginative that my curated media intake consists solely of ~5 sources who are trying to shove their often clicks-driven (thus intellectually compromised) content into my awareness.

There's an argument that newsletters are for those creators whom you just can't get enough of, and the other more serendipitous/algo-driven content in your feeds can be a more diffused supplement to the core offerings. And sure it just comes down to who prefers what. But contending with the constant onslaught of newsletter banners/modals/whatever pushes me to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There's enough creators out there that don't do that that it's actually a premium when I'm not constantly assailed by nudges, etc.
> another important lock-free primitive is a cell where writing a value drops previous values, even if they haven't been read

More importantly, if you've read a value then that value should stay alive (not be destructed/collected) until you explicitly release it or re-read that "cell".

Then what you do is publish immutable data to the "cell".

Unlike rw locks there's neither the risk of readers blocking behind writers nor writers being starved, and it's highly concurrent.

Clojure has a `ref` for this. Linux has RCU, which is a bit like this.

I've implemented just that in a lockless way twice (see elsewhere in this thread) with this C API:

typedef struct thread_safe_var *thread_safe_var; /* TSV */
typedef void (*thread_safe_var_dtor_f)(void *); /* Value destructor */

/* Initialize a TSV with a given value destructor */
int thread_safe_var_init(thread_safe_var *, thread_safe_var_dtor_f);

/* Destroy a TSV */
void thread_safe_var_destroy(thread_safe_var);

/* Get the current value of the TSV and a version number for it */
int thread_safe_var_get(thread_safe_var, void **, uint64_t *);

/* Release the reference to the last value read by this thread from the TSV */
void thread_safe_var_release(thread_safe_var);

/* Wait for a value to be set on the TSV */
int thread_safe_var_wait(thread_safe_var);

/* Set a new value on the TSV (outputs the new version) */
int thread_safe_var_set(thread_safe_var, void *, uint64_t *);
Turns out you need several cores to match SSDs now, so it's actually quite hard to match them.
I often stumble on mundane interactions or writing from the past (usually the 19th or the first half of the 20th century) and legitimately wonder if the "society is gradually crumbling, we're going backwards as a culture" people are actually onto something.

I would've even been happy if they didn't block you from screenshotting the QR export code. This has caused me so much pain over the years but nope, they refuse to change it.

This basically means you can never factory reset your phone without someone else using their phone to help you, which means you're forced to share your entire account and all your codes with a third party who might keep them forever.

You also can't preemptively back it up in case your phone is stolen or lost.

But nope, Google thinks they know best and in 2023 they still actively block you from keeping your accounts safe. It's mad.

I didn't get why he deprecated distance/time as a direct way of determining average velocity.

Is this pedantry about "average" vs. "mean"? As I understand it, "average" is a vague word, one of whose meanings is "mean". And I imagine most of the other meanings would have distance/time as their value as well.
We use this in my lab and I think you this is a lot more complex than better or worse on the task as a whole. Certain kind sof stimuli will interact with subject memory in different ways. So even if there's research saying another species is better or worse it probably depends on what is being recalled.
> Company punts on how to actually secure it by saying "store in a safe place" so now it's all on the user?

Yes, it's on the user, who else would be responsible for that? A Google employee isn't gonna go to your house to install a safe for you so you can store it securely. You can argue all day that the average person often can't be trusted with these things but I fail to see how this is anyone's problem except their own, at some point we need to stop treating adults like babies that need their hands held through everything and let them learn that their decisions have consequences.

99% of people don't need that kind of security any way, just keep a piece of paper with the codes somewhere hidden that you can remember, you don't need to have access to them all the time unlike a normal password.
That is the key on a product like this. $5+/mo for a service to occasionally update photos on a device that is already sold at a profit is robbery.

I do not understand all of the meta-debates, don't like the debates? Don't participate in them. Simple.
Persian influence was incredibly important, in fact the Islamic Golden Age is marked by Persian customs being absorbed into daily living with the establishment of the Abbasid caliphate.

So if you're feeling like it's taking value away from Persian history, instead, try to see it from the perspective that Persians are a large part of the reason why the Golden Age is even a thing :)
And for those who don't want to do more intensive things, even just following the "pay yourself first" principle goes a long way.

For every dollar that comes in, take 10% and stick it somewhere that's hard for you to get your hands on it. Then forget that it exists.

In less than a year, you'll have a year's worth of pay stacked up that way. Then keep doing it, forever.

Updated the title, so nobody gets confused... :)
I still haven't got my citation of how the GDPR someone applies to non-PII, which is the entire point of what 1P is saying they are collecting.

Data processing of personal data is what the GDPR is concerned about.

I'm sorry for getting frustrated but for fucks sake, someone cite me something that proves my original point about the opt-out being illegal.

I don't care if I'm wrong but I'm not taking downvotes for questioning someone flatly accusing 1P of bypassing EU regulations.
Hard to believe we're coming up on 20 years soon. Crazyyyy
Don't forget that Unreal has a monopoly on their engine :), and own a huge part of the games (an other) markets itself
Just like every other law? The legal definition of a monopoly has been refined over decades of case law, this ruling comes as no surprise to anyone familiar with the specific requirements of that definition (which were clearly not met by Epic here).
> But this was not enough for the court to conclude Apple has monopoly power.

I don't understand that. How is a single company controlling more than half of the entire market not monopoly power?
It's easy:

> “Oh, here’s the trick I just used in the debugger.”

Don't ever talk to one another during debugging sessions. Pick up your bug ticket, fix it, close the ticket. Everyone else has their own work to do so they are not interested in watching you pilot your heavily-customized IDE setup, and the boss doesn't make them.

> “I’ll sketch the architecture change I’m proposing on the whiteboard.”

Don't have whiteboard meetings about architecture. If you must, definitely don't invite juniors. In fact, nobody actually writing code to implement the change will be in the meeting at all. We are architects and managers, they are merely developers. They'll write what we tell them to write. In many organizations, even the people called "architects" are left out of these meetings, and probably even line managers. These are Director Level Decisions, after all.

> “Why don’t you shadow me in this meeting or interview or presentation?”

Easiest of the three. Just never ever have anybody "shadow" anyone for any reason. They have their own work to be doing.

I'm not saying these behaviors are good, but they are pretty much the default behavior in corporate jobs AFAICT.
> And they fully considered the rights of ever bit of copyrighted material they consumed.

Yes, they considered and decided that they are big enough to violate and do what they want, since they aren't violating rights of other big entities, just of nobodies.
I don't think that works when Apple have implemented notifications on MacOS Safari for years. So it's not that Apple disagree with the standard, but they don't want to bring it to iOS.

Apple are even on the WHATWG standards body that defined notification spec: https://notifications.spec.whatwg.org/ . And WHATWG is the actual standard, not a non-standard standard. W3C ceded to them a few years ago, which is news to me.

If we were talking about other features, like Web Bluetooth or Web HID which are just drafts on W3C but Google decided to implement anyways, I wouldn't disagree with you. I use Firefox myself, so none of these are supported on Firefox either.
The office people here actually are actively politicking against the remote people whether they realize it or not. If you were their boss they would have no choice about keeping you in the loop on lunch conversations.

This sort of thing is definitely a problem with many "hybrid" situations.
If the LA River is any historical precedent, yes.
Dependency Resolution Made Simple
My (open to correction) understanding was that "Farsi" has some use in referring to the Iranian standardization of Persian (as contrasted to Dari, its Afghani counterpart).
Nope, you can't screenshot the page, so you can't save the code and can't send it to another phone. This means you can never trade in a phone for a new one and if your phone is lost or stolen you're locked out of all your accounts forever.

They actively added code to prevent you taking screenshots, which is insane but true.
If the LA River can be a river, why not?
It's a make limitation when using its native functions. It's very hard to work around this.
There's a certain set of people who by virtue of genetics upbringing or both, feel very strongly:

1. You should do your best to please authority figures.

2. You should do your best to be correct.

It's really distressing the first time they run into a clear example where those two deep-seated needs are in conflict. For a lot of gifted teacher's pet kind of kids, this is their Kobayashi Maru moment.

I still remember mine too. :-/
> This doesn’t mean that copyright law applies to AI-created works.

I didn't say that it did, just that OpenAI disclaims ALL rights (including, but not limited to copyright).
> There is nothing special about the Steam Deck. It's just another Linux machine.

That's not true. It's a read-only linux on a fixed hardware platform, which is a vaaastly different beast than the myriad of hardware/software combinations that exist out there in the wild.
It was P@ssword2022! previously
Agreed but there are some important differences that make this a harder sell to the court:

1. No one is stopping developers from selling their apps in Android markets.

2. Apple hasn't attempted to prevent android app markets from existing.

3. Apple can make the argument that they own the market on merit, therefore their monopoly on selling iOS apps is legal.

4. It has to be proven this is bad for consumers. Apple is claiming their control benefits consumers, which again justifies their monopoly.

And as mentioned elsewhere, Apple may be forced to allow side-loading, but still require their 30% on all transactions. And nothing stops Apple from enforcing security policies on things like private apis on side-loaded apps.

Unfortunately I think the likely result is going to be a partial victory no one is happy with. :(
And then how about *this*?
an OS update can at best remove the limit on how fast or how many times you can attempt to unlock the user data

Wouldn't an OS update be able to store the user password in a plain text file on the non-encrypted partitions? I don't think those partitions are hardwired to be readonly until the rest of the system is unlocked?
What's wrong with not needing a developer to implement something?
There are jobs that are predominatly held by people in the upper class, but being in the upper class (haut bourgeoisie) means that those jobs are not the significant way they engage with the economy.
Here's the implementation described in OP: https://github.com/Gopiandcode/ocamlot

OCaml is a statically-typed language. It falls somewhere between Go and Haskell on the spectrum of type 'strength'.
In simplest terms.

1P says they are collecting non-PII.

Higher poster in this thread says "I can't imagine how they're going to get this past EU regulators."

I'm saying there is no problem, and someone needs to provide proof that the opt-out here is illegal.
I run Steam in a Docker container of Ubuntu 22.04 for reasons like this. Also my actual system isn't polluted with 32-bit libs, Steam can't rm-rf my home directory and games can't steal files from my home directory (homedir inside the container is a separate directory on the host), and access to X and dbus is restricted (dbus socket not forwarded, X socket is from a nested Xephyr instance) so nothing can be stolen from there either.

OpenAI didn't provide the right type of evidence, so the trademark request got dismissed: https://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn97733259&docI... (probably until they try again).

Yes, if I can get an account invite.
I have enjoyed how quickly 1Password was adopting new technology and features while still staying stable. It just worked. Lately, that hasn't been the case. Recently, the browser extension, which is my main interface for 1Password, has been acting up.

I use browser extension in Edge on macOS. I am on a page signing up for a new website and want to save credentials. It doesn't. Keeps erroring out. Disabling and re-enabling extension, and then refreshing the tab finally fixes it. I reached out to customer support and they told me to sign out to force refresh the cache. I did it, but the problem wasn't fixed.

1Password needs to fix the bugs that their customers are already reporting, instead of alienating their users with telemetry. I don't think the learnings from telemetry will be worth the damage it will cause to their brand.

Good move . for too long usability suffered .

I have just announced the React integration here: https://twitter.com/fahad19/status/1650580700687376399

You can find more docs here: https://featurevisor.com/docs/react/

I will explore NextJS and how Featurevisor can be utilized at both SSR and SSG level as well. While of course working on adding more tests, and tagging a v1.0 stable release soon.

Regarding Swift (for iOS) and Kotlin (for Android) SDKs, I am not so sure if I will attempt those myself. But I am asking around in my network for help there, and would like to have official cross-platform SDK support.
It's possible I'm confused by GP, but there's two things being discussed here I think:

First, Google Authenticator, which is in fact just totp which can be used for both Google 1p and any 3p TOTP thing. And second Google's push-notification based auth checks which are used for only certain 1P Google apps (like logging into your gmail or youtube).
They lived an average of how long? Enough to have kids at age 18-20, and help their kids raise their own for 2-5 years when they reached that same age. Evolution didn't equip us to live much longer than that.
Why specifically those languages? Others can also target modest hardware/small resource Docker hosts.
If you bought a place that had land use regulations that you now don’t (or always didn’t) like, suggesting a move seems reasonable to me. Plenty of places have no such regulations.

Personally, I love our (small, city lot) lawn. It’s great for kids, the dog, and to have a relaxing place to have friends over. If someone doesn’t want one, I don’t want to force them to have one, but they have to take some agency in not choosing a place that’s a poor fit for their desires.
I've heard of other schemes, like a forced 10,000:1 reverse-split, with shareholders having fewer shares being paid out in cash. Then the company IPOs with a much higher value, but only the shareholders with 10,000+ shares get a piece.

My impression is that if rank and file employees profit off an IPO or aquisition, it means someone dropped the ball on pushing them out. Until it becomes impossible to recruit, these shenanigans will continue.
Same for xbox, nintendo, playstation, right?

Same for the unreal engine...

The 30% is the max they charge, so it's not a completely fair number. After a year it's 15%, of which about 2-3% is card fees, and they handle taxes.
I'm not passing judgement on this case and this comment has no relation to its facts, but generally speaking a single company controlling ~51 percent of the market is not the definition of a monopoly, at least not for anti-trust purposes. Indeed a company can have market share well beyond this and not fall foul of anti-trust law, depending on facts of the case.

It's much harder to unfairly distort an open marketplace with 51% share than say 90%, most of the time. Again, this is why the marketplace definition step of this process matters so much!
Where do you keep your passport, if you have one? Your birth certificate? Any other important papers you have?

No, it's not reasonable to expect everyone to be well organized. Life can be chaotic. People lose stuff. We know this. Some people are so unfortunate as to lose all their stuff. Repeatedly. The level of organization people have varies extremely.

But I do expect there are hundreds of millions of typical people with houses and sufficient organization to hang onto to their important papers, and it's a good idea to add your backup codes to your other important papers. It's good advice, though not always applicable.

One of the potential solutions might be to just treat youtube as a separate service i.e. create a separate account for YouTube with 2fa disabled.

It’s not ideal since you need to deal with two accounts but that’s what password managers are for.
Probably not. I have Mastodon and XMPP already. And I still use Twitter a bit as well. It's not clear that BlueSky adds anything useful for me.
Tesla is now a reluctant lithium refiner
The supply chain for battery-grade lithium has become shaky. The metal is a key commodity component in most EV and storage batteries, and Tesla’s products are no exception. Persistent insecurity around lithium supply has caused the company to vertically integrate certain links of the battery supply chain.

Most recently, Tesla announced it would break ground on a lithium refinery near Corpus Christi, Texas in May, because, as Musk put it on the earnings call, “the choke point is much more on refining capacity than it is on mining.” He continued, “We will have, by far, the most lithium refining capability…in North America, I think.”

But Musk stressed that this is not a business Tesla wants to be in. “Can other people please do this work?” he pleaded. “That would be great. We’re begging you. We don’t want to do it. Can someone please? Like instead of making a picture-sharing app?”
That's how theses cases usually work. Antitrust claimants want to define the market as narrowly as possible for their own benefit. Defendants want to define it as wide as possible for the same reason. It's up to the court to figure out what the actual market is, and not what the (biased) parties want it to be.
Because there is the other half of the market?
I suspect this happens a lot. For VCs it’s very much in their interest to hype up the startup life and indirectly ruin financially as many people as possible.
I thought Paul was the worst RH CEO until 2 minutes into Matt talking in that role.
This is why I think it's so misguided when people talk about and push for "alternative payment processors" or "alternative app stores" when what they really mean is "I don't want to pay 30%" and just hope it comes for free with the former.

Okay cool you can have alternative app stores, you still need a business relationship with Apple, have to submit your apps for review to get your app signed, and turn over I guess 27% of all digital goods sold. But you can have your own storefront and downloader. Congrats.
