Personally, I think Supreme courts justices shouldn't be receiving these kinds of gifts. Pay them more!!

I don't care if Sotomayor or Alito is getting the gifts, they shouldn't take them. If you have rules for receiving gifts for regular government workers, they should have the same for judges.
And yet, you don’t have the stomach to reply to me about it — or to discuss the procurement failure regarding munitions outlined by CSIS.

The LCS is the fault of the Navy in at least three ways:

- they didn’t bother to make sure the gearbox worked

- they didn’t bother to make sure the structural framing was sufficient, leading to shoulder cracks

- they didn’t design it to have sufficient arms or ability to perform ASW roles

None of which has to do with Congress, and every bit of which has to do with military design, procurement, and contract management.

Congress doesn’t design ships for the fleet: the Navy proposes what they want and Congress funds (or doesn’t) the project. The only role Congress played was forcing the Navy to keep them after it became clear they were such a total failure, the Navy scrapped the class while still in production.

But keep making excuses for abject failure — that’s sure to fix the problem.
I'm healthy and enjoy a good walk, but I wouldn't really want to bring luggage a mile from an airport, especially not if the weather isn't nice; it seems rare for foot traffic out of airports to be particularly easy.
If you're doing any work on classified (secret) materials then those have to be kept inside a secured facility. HN comments tend to ignore such issues but in the real world this is a huge industry.
It does have that ability on the HomePod minis that I have around the house. If a timer is set on one of them and then I want to reset it or add minutes to it, I can do so (but only when that HomePod mini hears me).
Typo fix: I meant "apps you can'T block from doing this" of course.

Addition:

I also hate apps and gadgets using "clouds" for jobs which can perfectly be done locally.

E.g. I want a vitals tracking device to record my heart and sleep data but I am not buying any because they send that data to their servers, I want them to only send it to my PC where I would do the data science myself (and/or to my smartphone to a purely local app). I would pay a lot (up to e.g. what a beefiest new MacBook costs) for such a device if it were purely local and well-made (wouldn't break soon).

I also want a vacuum robot which would build and use my apartment map without sending it to any cloud but there are no such models no matter how much I am willing to pay (I know a solution[1] for vacuum robots - some can be hacked to run the server part on themselves but I don't really have time for this). And there have recently been a leak of pictures made by vacuum robots which proves my paranoia is legitimate.

Some genius has even invented a WC which analyzes your pee and stores your hormonal changes log in their cloud which is a great gift to conservative maniacs (I don't mean all conservatives are maniacs, some are awesome, there are many flavours of conservatism) which have just banned abortions and can now subpoena the company to find out you if you have secretly undergone an abortion in another state.

Surely insurance companies and banks will also find a way to get your data and make your insurance and loans prohibitively expensive as soon as they find some clues you might have health risks.

I am almost sure the problem of privacy negligence, every serious actor spying on people hoarding data, is going to become more and more serious up to a catastrophic point and hope it will get more and more attention soon.

I used to be called a paranoid loon by fellow students for covering my laptop camera a decade ago, now almost everybody does this and my new laptops (HP EliteBook and ProBook) even came with built-in curtains on the cams.

We used to teach people to accept others, and ourselves for who we are - flaws and all. We used to guide people into being comfortable and accepting of themselves - we are always our own harshest critic.

Most people undergo some period of time where they are unsure of their self, their future, their purpose, and perhaps even question their existence and the meaning of it all.

Now we teach people being uncomfortable and uncertain is unacceptable and that it obviously means you are the problem and must change. In doing so, we doom these people to a lifetime of hardship and uncertainty.

Imagine a world where having blue eyes was viewed as bad and had to be surgically and permanently altered to look more brown. Would these people feel any more confident after the operation? Why do celebrities continuously get plastic surgery over and over? They are never comfortable with themselves, and the further they go down the path of altering who they are, the more uncomfortable they become - ignoring whatever actual problems they may be experiencing in favor of cosmetic and superficial changes.
It is every bit as bad. QUIC streams could map nicely to the SSH model of discrete channels. Sure, you can run it over tcp/443 and have it look like a normal TLS connection to anything that isn't monitoring the traffic patterns, but it's effectively just adding a TLS pipe which only achieves the use of QUIC's congestion control algorithm and handshake but nothing else. I would love to see an SSH implementation which uses QUIC correctly; this isn't it.

edit: it also has a hardcoded parameter to not validate certs which defeats the whole purpose of it using TLS in the first place... (https://github.com/moul/quicssh/blob/5f5a17c3431a39a8287467d...)
While obesity hits an all time high, one wonders if we traded one vice for another? Is it better to smoke if it means you eat less? Or vice versa? What's the tradeoff in health?

Off topic, but I deleted the Lyft app last month after I rode one of their scooters home. Apparently, they have a geofenced area around downtown, and any ending of the ride outside of that area is considered "bad parking" and they will charge you a $50 fee. They put the fee on my receipt, along with a $50 credit, as a warning I guess.

The issue I have with this is that there are many "no go" areas downtown, like the pedestrian mall, and the scooter will simply stop working if you go into those areas. You have to manually push the scooter back out of the area before it will start working again. Great, perfect, fine, good, so then why did you let me drive it outside of the valid downtown area to begin with?
If one could run this alongside with Wireguard and H/3 on the same port, that would be very interesting against analysis.

Having the working set present on app servers means they don't put load on a precious centralized resource which becomes a bottleneck for reads. The peer model allows app servers to service reads directly, avoiding the cost of contention and an additional network hop, allowing for massive read scale.
I've started taking taxis from Airports instead of Ubers. There is often a line of idle taxis waiting for rides, and then a bunch of people on their phones in the corner refreshing Uber/Lyft competing over the same handful of drivers.

People have the impression that Taxis are more expensive than Ubers, but that's actually rarely the case. I've found they are pretty close most of the time. I find that Uber/Lyft is cheaper for short trips (< $10) and Taxis are cheaper for longer trips ($10-50).

Also, LPT for everyone. Many/Most airports actually have flat taxi rates between the airport and the city. Be sure to ask about this. A lot of big cities will have a flat price for taxies of like $20 or $30 between the airport and city. I really like this. Also, all taxis nowadays take cards and most take ApplePay too.
First, "free market competition" is NOT a cure-all for everything.

The "Free Market" does do a far better job of rapidly and semi-accurately allocating resources and labor than central planning.

However, the "Free Market" is absolutely horrible at solving other problems, starting with the Commons Problem, and including the tendency towards monopolies, which are the problem here. It is a near-mathematical certainty in a 'free market' that the big get bigger, and weild that power to crush any upstarts. Even if there is massive demand for something new, the entrenched monopoly/near-monopoly/cartel players will crush it. This is the case here. Also, in regulated markets (i.e., all of them, see next paragraph), the large players will often succeed at regulatory capture, which further enables them.

Also note that the "free market" is an absolute fiction. It does not exist. Every market has rules, spoken or tacit.

The only question is what are the rules and how are they enforced. Wise governments will set rules that minimize the tendency towards monopoly, and protect their institutions and citizens from regulatory capture. This is a step in that direction.

Another tack to answer your question is to observe what actually happens in these "free" markets. There has been enormous demand for this, with pressure provoking legislatures to attempt to act for decades, yet no competitor has arisen. Similarly, it took literally most of a century, and major legislation to get car companies to even start installing safety gear like collapsible steering columns (replacing the ones that impaled the drivers in small collisions), seat belts, airbags, etc. Plenty of demand, but a cartel-ish industry fails to meet it.

Re-examine your libertarian tendencies more closely. I also used to find it an attractive concept, but it is full of glib answers that are not actually realizable in the real world (and often not even in toy models). Actually working through the consequences of many of the concepts shows that they are just a mirage, and sticking to those ideas simply enables monopolists and oligarchs to thrive.
No, it doesn't. It's a fair comment about external arms supply intensifying conflicts, without apportioning blame.
Sure, though you're using the community definition of the term, while the US government definition encompasses anybody from those countries, regardless of ancestry. So a Lebanese - Mexican or Chinese - Mexican with no Spanish ancestry could be considered latino by the government.

I think Siri could really benefit from some LLM goodness. It's just too stupid. You have to deliver every command in bite-sized exactly worded chunks. Really annoying. But the tech is at a level where it can really improve it now.

It also needs some persistence. It needs to know that I never want to play music on my homekit. I tried deleting all the music from itunes but that stupid free U2 album keeps coming back and it often thinks I want to play music instead of doing automation actions.

And it should be able to read my texts and tell me if something important comes in. Stuff like that. AI models should be able to deliver those things. All this manually scripted stuff is a dead end.

Because I am also a human. I think I could still use the money (if anything, very few people want to be principled idiots who refuse $1m), and if I spent several years determined to understand it, perhaps it's worth spending some more to understand it fully. As I explained, it creates an atmosphere that prevents collaboration - it's incredibly hard to find anyone to talk about the problem with. Anyway, I am writing about my approach here, and I am about to write about it more. Still, people dismiss it outright.
The shops in my area that used to be cash only mostly switched over to tap / card only. For a while, the cash only places were the targets of choice for break ins and robberies.

Because there are no sidewalks out of the airport. This is depressingly common. Airport designers only think about cars and busses. Maybe the train if it is near a city that has it, but even that is far from a guarantee. Usually the only access is a high speed road that connects to an even more pedestrian unfriendly highway.
I definitely feel like that sometimes. I'm so grateful my "problems" are choosing between polarized and regular sunglasses.
I use Siri to turn on voice control when I drive. I have voice control number every item on the screen.

This lets me have 100% control of every feature/button and every app whilst I drive.

I can swipe on the screen using my voice.

I can write notes and messages.

I can switch to any app.

Voice control is a world leading accessibility feature that is a complete touch replacement controlled via voice.

Once I no longer need voice control I turn it off via Siri. The entire action of turning it on, using it, turning it off occurs with no touch at any point.

Also it's great for when I am cooking or doing diy and don't want to touch my phone.

In comparison Siri is better at a few narrowly defined actions but has less than 1% of the scope of voice control.

Reading people's complaints about Siri in this thread I feel what most people actually want is voice control.

But no one outside the visually impaired community knows about it.
I was about 15 years old when Quake came out.

I had read an article in a magazine which said it was the first truly 3D game which I (naively) disregarded as hype as I had played loads of Duke Nukem 3D which seemed as to me to also meet the definition of 3D.

But I still vividly remember playing it for the first time and using mouselook to actually look around, only then did I actually understand it was mind blowingly more 3D than Duke or DOOM, especially when I saw a monster for the first time.

Another interesting fact which young gamers may not know: Mouselook wasn’t an option which you could turn on or off in the game settings, at most you could bind it to a key, when you let go of the key mouselook stopped.

It seemed to me it was conceived as an opt in keybindable option to merely “show off” the true 3D nature of the game. A lot of people just played the game with keyboard only and there was also joystick support.

However, it soon became common knowledge that you could put “mouselook+” in “autoexec.cfg” (if I recall correctly) and it would keep mouselook enabled permanently. Once you became practiced enough at playing with the mouse and keyboard in combination with each other you could run rings around slow keyboard turners in multiplayer who didn’t stand a chance.
I can think of plenty of reasons:

- lots of luggage

- traveling with family/kids

- area was designed for cars and is not pedestrian friendly

- too tired after long travel

- late night arrival makes walking unsafe

I'm surprised there are more Apple TV users than Apple watch users. It always felt like a fairly niched device.

On a somewhat unrelated side-note, as a hardcore Plex user for the last 5-6 years, Apple TV has been an amazing Plex client. Second only to a Nvidia Shield Pro downgraded to 8.2.3 firmware.

Honestly with the quality of their TV boxes, screens and the "ecosystem", I'm kind of surprised they didn't dive into the TV business.
DV camera capture via 1394a was once available across several Linux distros but then suddenly disappeared way back, I'm guessing probably due to licensing issues. Tools like the raw1394 driver, dvgrab, and kino often would no longer work as my hardware changed and kernels updated. For pulling video from DV tapes I played around with an ancient Mac Mini but then ended up buying a cheap, used HP PC with integrated 1394a port running Windows 98, transferred that data to a Linux box for editing, moved the files to storage, then retired that old PC. Several external 1394a drive cases performed excellently for me all along but have long since been retired. I still have a bunch of 1394a cables in my collection.

This is one of the things that bothers me when it comes to prohibition - whether it's marijuana, vaping, or even more obviously harmful drugs like opioids.

Cigarettes are some of the best evidence we have that we don't need prohibition to change behavior. We actually are capable of using regulation, taxation, and education to help encourage people to make smart choices on a society-wide scale. It's rare, it takes decades, and boy oh boy do a lot of incentives have to align. But it can be done!

I once got suspended because I figured out how to bypass my schools lockdown policies on the computers in the lab and wouldnt tell them how i did it.

(Hint: i learned they kept the "bypass" code in clear text in the registry, and later simply killed the processes from a command prompt with a batch file).

I also had a small apache server and ftp box i would tunnel though or get executables from i wanted to play (like pinball, the monsters blocked pinball). Since it was the very early days of the internet my morning routine generally consisted of waiting for folks to leave, firing up the server and taking over the fax line for the day and getting the IP before heading off to school.

I used a scheduler (probably cron, i dont remember) to bring it all down around 3pm before my parents got home.
