Well, in my experience in traveling around the world, Spotify is available in every country I've ever been to (according to https://support.spotify.com/us/article/where-spotify-is-avai... at least), while others are spottier coverage.

Sure, not all songs are available everywhere, but there is at least some coverage. Apple Music seems to have pretty widespread coverage too (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204411) but I could find at least a few places I visited recently where it wasn't available while Spotify was (Bangladesh and Haiti are two examples)
Oh and what's this year's fastest Apple Silicon chip?
This would be nice. I don't track users on my personal blog. I don't give a flying duck about what people do there.

However I make money from running a website which is really useful to a lot of people. I absolutely need to know what works and what doesn't. I can't write and edit in the dark, possibly missing by a mile what my readers really need. It would be like flying a plane without instruments.

For instance, I see that a lot of people use the search to find a single guide, which should definitely be linked on the home page. Without basic tracking, I wouldn't even know which pages are important to my users.

There are many gaping holes in your website that you could be completely blind to without a basic sense of what your users do on your website.

I also caught many illegal copies of my website through referrer tracking. Three of them were phishing websites, and I got them shut down.

So there are many legitimate reasons to have basic traffic counters, and you can have those while respecting your users' privacy and following the spirit and the letter of GDPR.
" I’m all for some kind of universality, but this authoritarian method does not strike me as a good idea."

Rent to high? No problem, make increasing rent illegal. Got a homeless problem? Make it illegal to be homeless. Don't like changing your power cord? No problem: illegal. All these ideas would be like playing chess with the ability to only think one move ahead. It would be like having a 12 year old king pronounce today is ice cream day [all while facing certain thermonuclear war].
If the whole world adopted this stance maybe I wouldn’t an overflowing box of useless, obsolete cables. Maybe I wouldn’t need separate chargers and cables for my phone, tablet, ebook reader, and other assorted devices.

The amount of waste produced because companies are incentivized to produce incompatible devices like charger cables is staggering. The additional cost burden on users is unnecessary. The theoretical benefit of a better cable is not worth it.
I believe security keys are the offline version of passkeys you're looking for.

I am afraid that websites will somehow disable support security keys and only support passkey implementations from big tech (similar to how websites only offer signin with google, fb , etc).

Can someone clarify if WebAuthn protocol allows for this filtering against hardware authenticators?
Maybe to put you mind a little bit at ease anecdotally, I never had a USB-c plug or socket fail on me even with intense (ab)use. The same is true for my immediate family

It probably happens though.

I had cheap-o cables break but this is hardly the fault of usb-c
Were there really significant similarities between the N64 and the PS2 architectures? My understanding is that all the "first generation 3D consoles" had substantial weaknesses in their architecture, due to lack of experience, which were ironed out in the next generation.
HN is subject to all the trials and tribulations of any social media, it just hides some of it better through excellent moderation and consisting mainly of identical people.
Having three computers of different brands in the family (an HP, a Lenovo and a Microsoft Surface), it's certainly been useful in the past to be able to share a single charging port for all computers and most phones in the family.

In fact, USB-C and magsafe are complementary. USB-C is commonly used by displays to provide docking station functionality, so I can buy any display and use it with any computer (instead of having to buy a proprietary docking station that is different for each model). If I'm travelling, I can enjoy the more robust magsafe connector but I can also use USB-C if needed.
>basically just marketing operations.

"Just" might be a dangerous reduction here... You can reduce a lot of things to "just marketing."

Prestige unversities attract students, teachers, researchers & grants with prestige Just marketing. Publications, conferences... also.

Whatetthus pretige/marketing/perception thing is, it's very central to how we operate.
Probably not as serene as the star-filled countryside they replaced.
I don’t think it is destined for obsolescence. They were presumably installed to charge phones and other low power devices, which they will continue to do.
I have a different experience with lightning. Almost all my lightning cables show burn marks on the connector on one side and charge only in a particular orientation. This behavior reproduces with new cables and new iDevices. Anecdotally, I never had any issues with USB-C charging.
Also we are locking down a technology in law, so then now improving the standard is no longer about technological advantage but lobbying power.

Heck it's not even hard to imagine a world where the EU was a little bit faster and phones would be stuck on micro or mini ports.

But today these concerns get heavily suppressed. Funny how open and free never quite mean that. Anyway we shall see in ten years.
This EU regulation diminishes the incentive of researching and developing a new technology in this area. This is a fact.

And no, innovation usually does not come from a bunch of companies sitting down to cooperate on a new version. First there is individual innovation, then there is consolidation, even if these come with changes from the original.
5G is preliminary sensing infrastructure. Don't take my word for it, go read and watch all the IEEE and 5G/6G industry literature that spells this out in great detail.

"Integrated sensing and communication" is the search term to get you started.
You think they mean antibodies when they say adjuvant? Are antibodies part of vaccines or do you mean antigen?
The fair use right that you have is the right to make copies of works for your own use. If you own mario party on the switch and would like to play it on your computer you are allowed to do make a copy of the work to do so.

Tools that facilitate this legal use shouldn't be an able to be taken down. It doesn't matter if you think they're using those tobacco accessories for something else.

But a tool that allows you to break say HBO's streaming DRM wouldn't get this protection.
I’m being sincere here, is this satire?

It seems like you’ve found the fatal flaw in the fatal flaw definition.
For the people saying "this isn't affordable," decent thermal cameras range in the thousands of dollars.
Not necessarily - I've been prototyping a fork of tcc that does both. It's multi-threaded rather than multiprocess.
Which journal do you mean? "The Lancet"?
Thanks for the insight. I was robbed in Spain and the only thing of real value they got was my passport. Since you need ID to buy a sim card I just assumed there would be a huge market for stolen identity documents.
I'm not saying the American justice system doesn't suck.

Just that the GP's story might start with "after explicitly refusing the services of their public defender, who'd normally be tasked with filing the paperwork for an appeal....".

It also sucks that people literally starve due to poverty, but if you're starving after explicitly refusing food stamps your story's going to sound very fun different.
Its not only that, its also about the data collected.

Real time data like visitor data and heatmaps aren't allowed, also IP tracking is not allowed too.

Because matomo can be very powerful, more powerful than Ganalytics.

You can let it assign a unique id to every visitor if it visited a subdomain and logged in, so you can now exactly who each visitor is on all of your sites.

The university I work at wanted to make a video archive of performance art openly available on the web. Some of this can be 'challenging' (their preferred term) so we wanted to ensure people didn't just stumble into it. On the other hand we didn't want any form of mediated access which is a barrier for potential users, and also a maintenance burden.

I remembered PICS and hoped something similar had stepped in since it seemed an ideal solution: we describe our content, users make a choice based on that metadata. However we found nothing.

(We ended up adding a ~7 second explanation / warning at the start of every access copy, which is ... ok)
Isn't the regulation now different for usb-C than it was for microusb? In that, Apple could ignore microusb, and still sell their phones in Europe? What if Apple now comes out with a new standard much better than usb-c for their newest iPhone? They could not ship it now in Europe. So, all these examples referring to microusb are just really sloppy thinking. Which is exactly what I would expect from a huge bureaucracy.
I would argue that the mobile communications device called the "iPhone" is one of the most significant technology innovations developed in the past 100 years.

Love it, hate it, whatever, but it completely revolutionized what is practically access to "everything". You will be hard pressed to find an American consumer, from the richest guy to homeless people on the street that don't have a mobile communications device on their person with a touch screen and instant access to the collective works of the world.

The iPhone by itself as a stand alone business would be larger than Microsoft, Coca-Cola, and McDonalds among other revolutionary businesses.
Twitter was not going up in flames when Mastodon came out, so that wouldn't make for a fair comparison.
They weren’t chilling for the other side a few years ago.
ChatGPT is pretty easy to spot (in some circumstances). Just look for text that has absolutely no voice and reads like a high school essay where what should be a 20-word answer is stretched out to meet a 750 word count. Example: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-maximum-data-capacity-for-...
My name would be a moot point considering your company likely couldn't afford to hire me. It is also likely that if I met someone like you during the intervieww process that I would end the interview. I have better things to do.
lol

the article author clearly has never worked anywhere in the industry, and you're here defending the uninformed opinion of someone by dismissing those who actually have (and/or do)

thanks for the laughs this morning, mate :)
Absolutely not true.

There's still an incentive to be the company that replaces the technology.

FUD.
Okay, ELI5—why does the EU care so damn badly about a charging cable providing the same speed no matter who manufactures it?
Is there adequate scholarly video with explanation and critique of U.S. justice system?

I do not understand what U.S. justice system even doing all this time, waiting for her to collect pay check from autobiographical Hollywood epic so she can buy off even more free time outside jail ?
Ultimately, the taxpayer funds the researchers' salaries, and the researchers spend some of their research time on peer review instead of advancing their research.

But these hours dedicated to peer review are not the issue: something scientifically useful gets done. It's the tax dollars that go to Elsevier, in exchange for literally nothing*, that we should worry about.

* sometimes they charge you, the taxpayer, in exchange for access to the research output
The only reason the status quo works is that 90% of scientific research output is worthless; unreviewed, unreproducible, and unvalued.
yes, there's an attestation cert as part of the register request
No need to worry. EU laws concerning iOS only apply to products sold within the EU. Apple is within their rights to keep their operating system locked down outside the EU, and all recent reports indicate that this is exactly what they'll do. So unless your country decides to pass similar legislation, you're free to enjoy Apple's restrictions.
I guess this shows how cynical I am, but this title really confused me. Here I was thinking Google was going to do away with their calendar.

I mean, if it meant that they started working on interop features and standards again maybe I'd be excited...
nice double entendre on "zero interest" :)
Case in point: Look at how much innovation Apple managed to squeeze into Lightning after its launch… right?
Excellent. Don Knuth instigated a similar walkout 20 years ago at the Journal of Algorithms.

Wikipedia has its own section on these walkouts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsevier#Control_of_journals
Apparently we discount everything The Lancet says now based on one retraction.
Better to enjoy your life before your debilitating disease than to be miserable up until your debilitating disease. The fisherman was going to die anyways.
My personal experience is just the opposite; I have a number of children (more than the average number of kids), and I replace lightning cables more frequently than USB-C cables. And I do buy both Apple lightning cables and 3rd party ones. In my experience the cable case between the cable and the metallic connector tends to crack and degrade faster than USB-C equivalents. And the USB-C cables tend to be cheaper too.

Yes. Once my mum told me to get a test for the HLA-B27 gene, which was positive, my doctor referred me, while still being doubtful. Consultant didn't second guess at all, she looked over my x-ray and family history and said it was pretty clear. It might seem like bad news but it's such a massive relief knowing and having a path forward treatment wise as I get older.
The iPhone is 15 years old, so it wasn't in the last decade.
"Imagine what it would take for the executives at Apple, Samsung, Motorola, etc. to come together and all agree on some new format that perhaps one of them developed. Now consider that the EU would still have to approve it. The conclusion made from that Herculean effort might just be null and void."

The EU does not really care on the standard and does not judge the technical decision - it cares about that there is one standard.

So if Samsung, Apple and co come together for the next improved standard, then this is exactly the purpose of this legislation and no one has to fear if the EU is in a good mood afterwards.
We just used it the other day to easily walk us through filing a trademark application, and saved money on lawyer fees.
It isn’t out yet.

Does Apple upset you, yeah?
Yes standard sensors have a IR filter that can usually be removed. Raspberry PI sell thier camera without the filter as removal is tricky. However this is only very near IR nothing close to the capabilities of this.
why? Having gone through a few SOC-2s, I don't see any value it other than it being a racket.
Please elaborate. Whatever onerous issues I have with a lightening port pale in comparison to the usability of any USB port of comparable size.

I understand standards and think many are great.
There's this new feature on some phones that might catch on. They have cameras. Now granted those cameras aren't great, they can only take 20MP photos in low light and record 4K video, but some people are using them as their main camera! It's pretty crazy.

Some people that go to festivals or concerts take pictures so I guess for them a bad camera is better than no camera.
TJ Miller made Silicon Valley outstanding. Without him it wasn't the same.
Hm, I really don't get Toucan.

So it's doesn't appear to even attempt show the grammar of the target language, including the very basics, such as the word order.

Even for vocabulary acquisition, how is one going to learn noun classes (genders), case endings and articles, things like German separable verbs etc?

A debate that's been running ever since it became possible to reuse code from others (the current iteration seems to be "is using game engines in demos ok or not?!", whereas using libraries for specific tasks is widely accepted by now).

The "would be used by quite a few groups to kick-start their Amiga demo-game, including the legendary Fairlight." part is IMHO telling: such a generator is not enough to produce truly outstanding work, but it is an on-ramp into the scene. Demos are usually made great by code and art.
yea unfortunately all these diseases have a lot do with cellular dysfunction from ageing. I ate mcdonalds and soda for 4 yrs in college everday but never had any diabetes.
In almost every instance of stuff like that it is caused by the manufacturer not reading the specifications and implementing it improperly. Usually the cause is them trying to save literally $0.001 by leaving out a component they think is "optional".

The specification is very clear with regards to chargers: a charger with more watts is always better than one with fewer watts. For any pair of chargers, if charger A provides X watt and charger B provides Y watt, if Y > X every device which can be charged by A can also be charged by B. This means a laptop charger will always also charge your smartphone - although the opposite might not be true due to the laptop having a minimum power requirement.
The Scoop on Solar Geoengineering
prolly not for room temperature; planck's law tells us there's a rapid exponential dropoff of spectral radiance with f/T, and room temperature is about a third of the draper-point temperature, so you'd expect undetectably low radiance below about 2000 nm, three times the 700-nm limit of visible light

silicon's bandgap of 1.1 electron volts corresponds to about a 1100-nm wavelength; is that the minimum photon energy a cmos sensor can detect?

if i did this calculation right, the spectral radiance at 1100nm should be a couple million times dimmer than the 700nm radiance at the draper point

You have: h c / boltzmann 700 nm 300 K

11³/7³ is about 4 and 54/4 is 'a couple' to me

so it's not literally impossible to detect but it seems like you would probably need special conditions like a light-tight darkroom or a thermal emitter switching on and off at a particular known frequency for millions of cycles
Not just that but not retracting fraudulent research is much worse than that?
This looks like it got some sort of silent ban hammer. It went from high on the first page to nowhere on the first 4 in about 15 minutes.
I agree with most of what you've said here, except:

- Code signing. It's incredibly frustrating as a developer to try and codesign an application to pass gatekeeper, requiring multiple steps with very little information as to what's _actually_ going on or going wrong in the middle of it, including uploading your entire bundle to Apple and waiting an arbitrary amount of time for them to notarize it.

> It's very weak that the OS has no way to keep apps up to date except via the store, which then introduces tons of other problems. Sparkle does a great job of patching up this gap, but it should really be a core OS service in this day and age.

App Store _is_ the solution and a core OS service. You may not like the limitations that implies, but it is the OS level solution for keeping apps up to date.

> And the lack of any high level GCd/managed language for their platform continues to be a major weakness.

I think swift fits this gap nicely, no? It's not technically GC'ed, but it is refcounted, which for end user case achieves the goal of "ignore memory mangement for small tasks" I like this blog post [0] which shows a desktop app in 11 lines of code.

The second one sure looks like it is.
Actually it does have one in one-to-one calls, and in groups they have been saying jitsi will be replaced "soon", but this "soon" appears to be more than half a year.

I feel like I pissed you off inadvertently, I certainly didn't mean to. I am putting together a memorial for my mother and had been thinking about whether to be honest about the abuse my sister and I suffered when we were young. I know my mother too was abused as a child by her mother so I have decided it is worth telling because her abuse toward us illustrates as much her own abusive childhood.

I simply wanted to make it clear that the pattern of abuse is not a cultural thing, it is a human thing.

I worry that my adding "but you probably know that" came across wrong and I wish I could go back and edit/delete that part. I added it because I thought my comment that non-Asians can show patterns of abuse was kind of obvious and I was acknowledging that it was obvious. It reads to me now like a snarky attack on your motives but it was not intended to be.

I'll take your word for it though that this is a prevalent pattern in Asian culture. I have worked for 26 years alongside Asians in the Bay Area, 50% of my managers in my career were Asian, I hosted an Asian as a foreign exchange student for a year ... I have never heard of this darker side of the culture.
Placebos in psychedelics studies are rightfully often laughed about, but if the placebo group never took LSD before, it may indeed not be obvious to them if they got the drug or not.
Compete the democraticunderground Boring Company's hyperloop to CCP's China challenger on all dimensions of qualia in machining workmanship. Faster, stronger, richer, &c. Smells like the US looking for Saudi Arabia to foot the bill.
Apart from all the existing answers - usb-c did not come to the phones first either. It was available and tested in many other places first. And it makes sense, because if we ever need over 40Gbps of data, or over 200W power, it's extremely unlikely we'll need it for the phones.
I agree—I should have edited it. I’ve responded to the sibling comment.
If you’re looking for a good read, pick up a copy of Tony Fadell’s “Build”. There are a few interesting chapters where he writes about the process of selling Nest to Google.
Unsubstantiated non-measurable opinions are not true in any valid sense. The words you are looking for are: "not even wrong" !
