With Xboxes you have dev mode so you are definitely buying the Xbox. The Switch technically doesn't have a web browser so I wouldn't define it as a general-purpose computing device. The PS5 should definitely get a dev mode like the Xbox, otherwise while it can do general computing tasks like email, messaging, document editing by plugging in a mouse and a keyboard and you can't run your own code on it then you don't own it and are simply leasing it.
> Individual action does have a significant effect, as the highest numbers of microplastic/nanoplastic particles are found directly inside of plastic containers like plastic water bottles

If I limit my personal use of products like these, will this keep microplastics from entering my body? Or is there an effect from the broader environment, regardless of my personal initiatives?

Also, will there be enough products that eliminate microplastics that it won’t be a huge cost/effort burden to go without?

Rational or not, that gives me the heebie-jeebies. Random people working to attract the attention of aliens, when we know nothing of what the aliens' intentions might be, seems like such a bad idea.

I more or less agree that most people just don’t care. It surprises me that maybe I don’t care anymore either. It has been years since I was a FSF member, and even though I have 3 Linux laptops that I enjoy occasionally, so much of my digital life is spent on a very nice iPad Pro, with just a few apps, besides Safari, that I use: a Mosh client because I always have a few screens open on a powerful remote server available with a perfect tmux and Emacs setup, the Chess.com app, ProtonMail and Calendar apps, and entertainment: YouTube and YouTube Music apps, and the Disney and many other streaming apps.

Apple’s walled garden is most of my digital life, and at least for now, that is good enough. I can imagine switching to a Samsung foldable phone with a good docking story, but that will probably not happen.

EDIT: another things that keeps me from caring about being in a walled garden is that so much of my Intellectual life is serviced by the cloud: Colab Pro for most deep learning experiments, the web based Leanpub authoring system, etc. Choosing devices and operating systems seems less important. When I travel, it does not matter much if I grab my smallest Linux laptop or my iPad Pro to take on a trip.

For comparison, going to school at a large research university will mean many of your classes are taught by TAs who are themselves PhD students right out of undergrad who may not have taught before or have any interest in teaching. They may also grade most of your work and provide most of your feedback, at least until the highest level classes. Someone who at least has industry experience with mentoring and giving feedback might be preferable.

Russia’s Technocrats Embraced the West, Then Enabled Putin’s War
I argue that the examples--preferably more than one--should always precede the idea, principle, or definition. A fitting audience, then, will arrive at/or could smell the actual idea themselves, before it's presented.

The idealistic view of scientists as unbiased arbiters is just not true. Science advances because:

1. Some of the time, scientists behave in an objective manner

2. Theories that are correct have predictive power and are therefore useful (i.e. get results, enable new technologies) and therefore tend to win out

3. "Science advances one funeral at a time" -Max Planck
Emphasis on young. Older ones are basically inedible
We know for a fact that Putin thought it will take less than a month. There were russian propaganda articles posted russian state media accidently that celebrated the "succesfull take-over of whole Ukraine" stating that it only lasted few days.

So yes - it was a blunder.

And yes - they are counting on useful idiots in the west now, but that wasn't the plan, it's russians trying to save whatever they can after that initial blunder. You can know that by looking at how long it took for russian propaganda targeting the west to catch up after the start of the invasion in 2022. Usually they prepare the western audiences. This time they didn't bothered because it was supposed to be a quick thing and it was secret even for many russians in the government.

Also - useful idiots are in many countries, not just in USA. EU is hugely important in this war, especially Germany, and they were ruled by useful russian idiots for last 30 years. I'm not sure they stopped being them even now.

> The only reason Russia started this war is because they believed their useful idiots in the West will save them

This is just wrong.
"We're nicer to some of our allies," is an interesting take, but I also find it amusing that two of those we care deeply about needed a military occupation to naturally align to our interests.

Yea but Apple is a company too…
I have a 5-year-old son. I've always known that it would mean less "me time" and less "couple time". Still, you don't really know what this means until you have to live it on a day-to-day basis.

Besides, having children is rarely a very rational decision. You do it because "everyone does it". There's a strong biological and cultural pressure to have children. And if you have one child, there's a strong pressure to have a second one.

Anyway, I find it's really important to find a way to have "couple time", as well as "me time". Grandparents, if they're close and available, are a solution. My wife and I regularly take child-free trips and weekends. I also regularly take days off to have "me time" and work on my personal projects.

I know this might sound judgemental, and maybe this is because I'm an introvert, but I don't understand people who do everything with their wife and children.
I wouldn't say so. Let power users have their iPhone equivalent of F-Droid or Aurora Store if they care while most users will just use the default App Store. I personally download apps off the Play Store as a last resort if they don't work on the former two.

Agreed.
Community college probably lifts up & allows people to better themselves more than most 4 year universities.

My dad put himself through community college then did 2 years at a university with some work in between.
He was the first of his family / only one of his generation to go to college.

These days given cost & competition, most people going to a 4 year university come from a family that has already done the same and is following the prescribed path.
Community College is for people who are busy getting things done. The stigma around community college is that "You weren't good enough for 4-year, let alone Ivy League" when simply that's not true and a stereotype.

I started at a community college. This was a long time ago now but I remember having to dance a precarious line between explaining where I went to school and explaining what I know. To this day when people ask me where I went to school, I riddle off a long explanation on why that kind of thinking isn't helpful and instead should be asking yourself, "What don't I know?". I've been to a 4 year college. I've been to an Ivy League school. The humbleness and "Let's do this" attitude of community college is still the best education I got. Don't feel bad for having these things on your resume, show them with pride. If YOU see someone applying for your positions and they are proudly showing their community college, I'd definitely want to talk to them over someone spoon fed from Harvard. Show me the people who take initiative. Regardless of where they went to school. I'm hiring for aptitude and attitude, everything else can be taught.

Yeah one of the two is constantly brutalising its neighbours, while the other is busy building tech and defending smaller, but freedom loving, countries. Our grandparents told us stories about the russian army that many found hard to believe. And here we are proven that they were right all along.
> There is a great tool to increase security: the browser and its sandbox. You don't need to install anything fishy on your phone, and the sandbox rights coukd be sufficient for many apps.

To this day the browser is still a second-tier experience to native apps. But that's fine, because anything you get from the macOS and iOS app stores are sandboxed too. So are non-App Store apps on macOS that choose to run in sandbox.

Is this a joke in Russia, i.e. people referring to him as black in order to lessen the view of Russia's outlook to foreigners? I've never heard people refer to Pushkin as being black (and his parents indeed aren't), besides his great grandfather.
90ss Russia I grew up in wasn't pretty, it was indeed dangerous. But still less dangerous than current Russia. It was free, full of hopes, developing.

By 00ss we got to much better life.

Last 10 years, while regime got worse and worse, people started to do interesting and succesfull projects in many areas. It was not just copy west as before, something unique started to happened.

So yes, USSR before it's fall was stagnant, hopeless swamp of misery. And it's gravitating to the same direction now.
From the first paragraph of the article:

> In our study we performed short term uptake studies in mice with orally administered polystyrene micro-/nanoparticles (9.55 µm, 1.14 µm, 0.293 µm). We show that nanometer sized particles—but not bigger particles—reach the brain within only 2 h after gavage.
Enough to defend. Not enough to win decisively. Timing matters. If EU and USA provided the help that they did but in the first 6 months - Ukraine would have already won. But the help is drip-fed to Ukraine, supposedly to "not escalate". The result is that the war that could be already over is dragging on, and eventually people will stop helping for one reason or another.

If we want a quick win for Ukraine we should send weapons much quicker and without silly distinctions like (offensive vs defensive weapons in 2022 or like long vs short range missiles now).

If anyone from CF is here, could you please add a standard “X to close” button (reject all) at the top right?
I can. I have used them extensively while travelling (always local offers - I never needed a sim for multiple countries but a European one is barely more expensive than a single EU country one for example). Airalo sells local esim for something like 200 countries with prices which are competitive and offering which are often better tailored to travellers.

In plenty of countries if you try buying straight from a local provider you can’t buy low amount of data or have to get voice with it. Meanwhile Airalo allows you to buy 1, 5 or 10GB for very cheap and topping up is pushing a button in their app.

I meant it when I said it was insanely more convenient.

Sideloading will hit hard for Apple's pro-privacy brand.

You lose transparency and quality control for the apps. They don't need to tell you about their data collection practices. They don't have to do actually anything at all, since you can't ban those apps anymore.

Phishing is still a problem of Android and that will become a problem on iOS too.
On Android there is still business for anti-virus engines because of the sideloading and Phishing. On Apple devices, there isn't really need for anti-virus but it will become relevant again.

If the sideloading will become very easy, big players who make money with data collection, will leave the platform. You won't find Meta apps soon from the App store. They are so big that people will download these apps regardless.

If that happens, how many fake Instagram apps we will see after that?
And you can't ban them from the App store anymore.

While discussing RAM, can someone clear up another minor conundrum for me: How does a current x86 chipset map RAM modules to linear adresses? They can differ in size, so the mapping is probably dynamic? But I suppose an adder causes latency? Or is everything just mapped with big holes between modules, with CPU paging fixing up the mess?

Why do this science? Are we just feeding mice plastic for kicks? Like yeah who would've known that nanoparticles pass the blood brain barrier - who cares?

Can't we just do some scans/biopsies on humans to assess if we have plastic in the brain and start from there?

How does this experiment further anything? I'm kind of appalled that this is some people's job - it's pointless, stupid and cruel, and done by scientists who get paid the big bucks doing it.

I know I'm a little ranty - but I'm serious. Why do people do these experiments?
What? You can both believe that “people don’t know what’s good for them” and that “liberty and freedom is necessary for a functioning society”. For example, insects is a pretty good source of nutrient and protein but is there anyone within a 100 miles from you that will willingly eat them daily? Even easier, we all know, deep down, that we could be doing something better, but how often do we rise up to that ideal?
I recently got an iPhone and I still don't understand the integration bit. If you don't use iMessage (everyone here uses Messenger, Telegram or Signal), barely make phone calls, use OneDrive for cloud storage (because it's way cheaper than iCloud), and use BitWarden for passwords there isn't really anything left. I guess being able to AirDrop a file is nice? But then also my Macbook and my iPhone have different chargers so from a hardware PoV they're less integrated. Is there anything I'm missing here?
> The greatest Russian writer ever was black, Alexander Pushkin.

Is this using the Elizabeth Warren native american logic ?
I was thinking along the lines of maybe it reads the digits as individual tokens and reading from left to right it get confused. That's why I thought it might be about notation. I have learned it's definitely not the case (read a bit about what tokens actually mean)

I also tried the show your work methods. I will not paste my conversations here as they are so long but even with showing it's work it doesn't give the right answer. Two funny things I noticed

1. It either uses a completely wrong method to calculate it, or it shows the right "kind" of work and then gets the wrong answer

2. If I tell it it was wrong and it will just agree with me. I multiply two huge numbers and tell it no the answer is actually 42, it will just apologize. Then when I ask the reason why it thinks it's right it will give the most bullshit things lol. Once it even said "I read the number wrong, the second number should be x I read y". The thing is if I had actually given x in the input it would have gotten the answer right.

It's all very confusing.
Of course, or at least massively reduce it, if we found alternatives that were good enough! Not “just” stop, but mandate some % of the savings go to R&D when Coca Cola or Snapple switches to Plastic. Tax that stuff!

Look at what we did with CFCs globally when we came together — that is a massive success:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol

We can also help reduce meat consumption gradually with more products like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods etc. but it is far better and more effective if the government gets involved and taxes factory farms.

As a side note, I know the alternatives have to be good enough before people switch, because I have been building https://qbix.com for OVER a decade, and only now we are ready to present an alternative to the Big Tech monopolies no one can exit because they lack viable alternatives. This problem is everywhere in capitalism.
