There's No Such Thing As A Free Lunch, or a government policy that is only upside without some downsides.

Containerized Garbage is something that sounds really good, but there's always unexpected consequences to new policies.

Here's a quick stab at some of them.

1) Less Safe Roads. New Yorkers in many areas have to drive around for half an hour or an hour or more sometimes to find an open parking spot. This already leads to deeply frazzled nerves and unsafe driving as drivers scoot around oblivious to traffic and pedestrians to try and find a spot. I've seen drivers down main streets see a spot open up and immediately try and do a U-Turn into oncoming traffic, or just gun it through an intersection to try and be the first one to grab an open spot. Remove 5% of parking spaces, and this stuff increases. Maybe more people will get hurt in pointless accidents.

2) Fewer Spots lead to more parking tickets. These are of marginal impact on the well-off, but a struggling person who receives an unexpected ticket is completely fucked. The same people who claim to be on the side of the downtrodden and struggling classes truly ignore the actual impacts of their social engineering on those people. And as much as you might not like cars, many people have employment or childcare needs that depends on them.

3) Air Pollution and waste of gas. Garbage on the sidewalk is unsightly and horrible to see, but there's more than one kind of pollution. As mentioned, there are areas in the city where it's routine to drive around 30-60+ minutes to find a parking spot. Now increase all of this by a percentage, and more cars will be spewing exhaust fumes for longer. Is it a real win to tradeoff cleaner sidewalks for dirtier air? Maybe that's the best tradeoff, but I think it's important to recognize that there might be a tradeoff.

Despite all of this, I'm not saying that containerized garbage isn't a good idea. I'm just playing a little devil's advocate here. But just wanting to point out a different perspective that there's always some ignored bad that comes with every good.
People have to use "the internet" to install Chrome on a fresh Windows install. So I don't think anyone thinks that Chrome is the internet (that's actually something Chrome had to overcome when IE was dominant and installed by default).

Microsoft problem now is that for 15+ years people have been told and essentially trained to install a new browser if they want a good internet experience on Windows. And that is Microsoft's fault for shipping a shitty browser with their OS for multiple decades. That's why they had to drop the "Internet Explorer" branding. It became synonymous with "browser you can't use if you want to use any modern website" during the late 00s/early 2010s.

Obviously, Edge uses Chromium now but that is a relatively recent develop (and a technical detail that the average user isn't even going to know). So it's not enough to undo 20 years of "the browser that comes with Windows is crap" inertia right away.
If it's not supported by Libreboot (yet?) then I'm afraid that it won't fit your (and my) criteria of open.

I can assure you the original packaging didn't make this explicit.

It was absolutely nefarious. The only reason the device stopped working was because the $2 coin cell battery died, and it was explicitly designed NOT to be replaceable. It's beyond wasteful and I would guess I'm not the only former customer left with a bad taste in their mouth.
Nah, amongst dozens of other incidents: Google mocked the suicide of a close childhood friend to me, then put me into a nonconsentual undisclosed matchmaker algo with a schizophrenic felon to discredit me, ostensibly/clearly on behalf of some wealthy folks with google exec connections. Any attempt to seek clarity on this from google has been ignored. I refuse to go forward in a society where ubiquitous technical surveillance is wielded by irresponsible malicious unaccountable entities like Sundar Pichai’s corp.

I was stalked and harassed using my private iMessages during the death of a parent. I refuse to go forward in a society where such coordinated bullying is allowed to occur. America is supposed to be first world but it’s a total shithole filled with low class, unaccountable scum. A lifetime of experience confirms this. Looking at the next generation, American culture will become far worse by 2030, 2040.

Python has been around since early 90s and it’s main implementation was written in C though. It’s always had first class support for writing C extensions so it’s not illogical that wrapping functions written in other languages interface with it by targeting that C API.
WebAuthN is great, but I can't help but feel that Passkeys are actually a step backwards.

At least on iOS, there is no way of preventing them from being synced to iCloud, which is the opposite of what I want for high-stakes credentials like bank accounts or government e-signatures.

I've tried to raise [1] a related issue (i.e. the inability for relying parties to opt out of credential syncing, if not an explicit requirement to opt in to it) to the W3C WebAuthN working group, but it seems like the working group itself is strongly pro cloud synchronization as well.

Today, Google has sent me an email about their intention to deprecate their (device-bound) iOS authenticator in favor of (iCloud-synchronized) Passkeys, and I guess I'll begrudgingly have to switch to using an external FIDO authenticator instead.

>> because there is demand for the currency, itself

> No.

Actually, what the OP wrote is true: the use of the dollar as both a reserve currency and as a trading currency between non-US countries means there is a demand for the currency itself without actually wanting to buy goods and services from the US or invest there.

What you describe, investing in the US, also happens. But it isn't the only thing that happens, the demand for dollars without such investment also happens, and as far as I know is the larger part.

If it didn't happen the de-dollarization that the fine article talks about couldn't be happening.
> that passkey will also be available on your other Apple devices if they are signed in to the same iCloud account

I am not sure I like this. Unless the passkeys are only transferred directly device-to-device, each OS vendor's user cloud storage now becomes the keys-to-every-kingdom uber-target.
Apache 2.0 caught my eye! Great to see open source making cloud security more accessible.
I'm glad most people here are recognizing that this is a stupid, stupid idea.

Here is some simple old-school ammo against it (or perhaps in favor of it, if they were to be so bold) Some good old-fashioned "skin-in-the-game" e.g. Nassim Nicholas Taleb style.

I will gladly use (and pay for!) this, but only with indemnification.

Insure me to the tune of, say, $100,000 in the event of a breach or a problem and not only will I use it, I'll pay for it.

Otherwise, no deal. If e.g. Google wouldn't take this theoretical (or practical) deal, then they are completely full of it.
Oh yeah, I forgot that the default browser app, should be under the settings for a different browser. Putting that shit under the Safari settings is deceptive and hides it while keeping it in plain site.
> It's because it's objectively harder to reason about performance with lazy evaluation as performance becomes non-local.

This is off-repeated, but has two interpretations. If you mean performance as in number of steps needed to reduce an expression, lazy evaluation is superior to strict evaluation. If you mean the indirection needed to access a thunk, well someone -- either the producer (strict) or the consumer (lazy) -- had to do that anyways. If GHC can determine that the demand for the value is strict, it won't generate the thunk in the first place. Instead it will provide a specialize calling convention via the worker/wrapper transform, which is standard. On the un-optimized case we still have dynamic pointer tagging (which is a transgression on the T of the STG machine) which serves as a tag to check whether we are dealing with a value or a thunk quickly. So if by non local performance you mean the indirection, modern GHC shows that is not true.

If you means that space leaks are a non-local property and they affect performance, well you are sort that right. But as with all programming, we have defensive patterns against that.

There are 2 types of space leaks: liveness leaks and strictness leaks. Only the first one are a non-local property, ie the appear as a consequence of the composition of different code pieces. But given the default purity of Haskell, those can only appear on long lived data references with are syntactically marked by:

- IORef, MVars, TVars

- get/put pairs over a state environment

So what you do is to specify in the types that values stored on those environments are to be evaluated before being stored, so references don't leak. I speak about this on this

https://epicandmonicisnotiso.blogspot.com/2023/04/how-to-avo...

and how to specify the a specific evaluation level on the types at here

Last I looked into this, those 18-wheelers are among the worst as far as not paying for the damage their vehicles do, despite what they do pay. They do a lot of damage. We effectively provide a huge subsidy to trucking.
But they’re not locking you in, while other vendors clearly and deliberately are. Definitely the lesser evil. So even a utilitarian like you would choose Framework, provided all else is equal.

They even promote 3rd party enclosures for the mainboard in this post so you can’t even say they’re not fostering the ecosystem when they can. It’s not incumbent upon Framework to actually provide competition. That’s a competitor's job.

The nuance is that being open is the ”right thing to do”. It’s not fair to criticize Framework for doing the right thing because no competitors have stepped up yet. Or because nobody else has come around yet. It’s fine to comment on the situation and say “effectively I can still only buy a Framework mainboard”. Thats true, of course. But that's in no way Framework’s fault.
> Around the topic of allowing apartment builders to not necessarily build parking for every single unit, there's enormous anxieties and fears around a resulting explosion in people parking on the street and people not being able to find street parking.

This already happens where I live, but the buildings provide plenty of parking and most of it goes unused. The reason is because a spot in the garage is not free, I think it's like $50 or $100 a month. So people just park on the street and the garages are mostly vacant.

My city is now looking into paid street parking via permits, I'm sure if that gets adopted, people will start using the garages more and streets parking will become much more available. The way it works is that if you live in one of the neighborhoods that requires a permit for street parking, you can park anywhere as long as your permit is paid.
It’s a story that could have gone in different directions. Mostly Facebook was lucky to be in the right time and place and didn’t have an entrenched competitor. You could have the kind of brain Eliezer Yudkowsky is afraid of and try to start Facebook in 2023 and fail, fail, fail.

Sheryl Sandburg deserve a huge amount of credit for making Facebook a sustainable business, something Zuck floundered at previously.

A person who could brilliantly take advantage of a an opportunity once might have no generalizable talent to create another opportunity out of thin air.
This was not my understanding so I looked it up and found this: https://www.reuters.com/business/legal/us-supreme-court-nixe...

Wherein it mentions passwords are considered testimonial and therefore protected by the 5th, but device passcodes were ruled to be exempted under the “forgone conclusion” exception to the 5th (TIL about that).

Is this kind of thing you are referring to?
Teams is just odd about wanting to do things in its bubble. For example if you click a pdf file it opens a preview. Then you click download button on the preview and you get a Teams specific notification (which has multiple layering and positioning issues compared to native notification) with a list of your recent downloads. Then you click the file and it opens a preview in teams again so you close than, go back to the downloads list, select to open it in a folder, then open the file and it actually opens in a real PDF reader.

Bad enough in itself but that's only half of it. Instead of fix this behavior to just work the official path is to install a teams app for Adobe Acrobat that handles the redirection, but only for Acrobat. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/adobe-acrob...
It does blow my mind how many times the easiest solution is a garage.

In San Francisco, there's was a proposal about ten years ago to convert a street that was full of shops near the water and already had a bike path to a proper pedestrian promenade. A bunch of shopkeepers flipped their shit at the idea of not having parking spaces in front of their stores. The mayor's optometrist was on that street, so he had the whole project binned.

They could have easily eminent domained some disused building nearby, built a parking garage, and made everyone happy. Instead they went "cars good, people bad, cancelled."

How is this different than a password manager with encrypted cloud backup? Your recourse if someone breaks passkeys is legal, not technical. Security must be a balance with functionality, and this is a huge improvement over passwords. (Tangentially, it would be great if we got cryptographic digital identity cards like Estonia has for signatures but that’s more of a long term goal)

Cloud sync (encrypted!) is important because your average user needs that convenience and durability of authenticator.

I can't find evidence it really made it out to consumers, & even less evidence there was any followup, but Intel did have a Xeon + Arria 10 GX FPGA chip, back in 2018: Xeon Gold 6138P
with Arria 10 FPGA. https://www.anandtech.com/show/12773/intel-shows-xeon-scalab...

At the hyperscaler level there's been a lot of adoption of SmartNICs, which are often FPGA based. That makes me feel like there's a pretty big market here already for integrated FPGAs. I think the other requirement is that these FPGAs need to be made broadly available if we're going to see a real shift. Selling a couple many-thousand-dollar high end chips isn't going to create new audiences clamboring for these things, which is required for the tech to actually get interesting & well adopted, instead of existing only in a small but important niche.

Intel has 160 Gbps of throughput available for connectivity. You might be able to physically get data to all the same devices with AMD, but at much reduced bandwidth, and the job wont be as easy. And you won't be able to use thunderbolt peripherals like external GPUs, if those are available.

a number of projects aimed at this exact problem - one of them is/was called Tyrion - there were probably a dozen because the concept is quite obvious. but the usual blockchain problems frustrate its success, namely that blockchains are not independent of human control, but only obfuscate it behind unprovable promises of decentralization.

if it was one lane it would be a reasonable public good for everyone, as public transit and delivery doesn't use that much, but it's a lot more than that.

The reason we have 8 lane highways etc is because of private automobile use, and the enormous space inefficiency of automobiles, of private vehicles being driven back and forth with single travellers in them.

We've gone too deep into fundamentally inefficient private automobile use and are having to spend a fortune on the infrastructure to keep that paradigm functional.
