I assume the large car makers are paying apple a huge amount to be able to install lightning cable adapters in the cars.
In the US South when I was growing up it was common for white parents to whip their kids with a belt.

However, in every culture where this kind of beating is common there are parents who do not engage in it, who recognize that violence is the weakest form of authority.
So why not do that with Lightning too? It's still proprietary to this day.

I'm still waiting for Google tasks to be able to have a duration so that I can visualize the time commitment in my calendar. I can't believe this isn't a feature yet...

Just a number. Remember ICQ? They simple had a number increasing for each new registered account. I mean, if the users still get to set an arbitrary display name, then just give everyone a number as user„name“. Sorted by registration date, this would be the most fair process.

And then yes, there is no validation that someone named „@verge“ is really from TheVerge – simply because there is no such name, and users just need to tell people that 3728348 is their handle. Like a phone number. Unique, easy, fair.
>>It generates demand for finite electrical resources that have a net negative externality on the climate.

The expansion of any industry does that. Singling out crypto suggests something else motivating the measure.

>>The argument "But people would be using the electricity for something else if not for crypto" is unsupported; given the uniquely mobile and speculative nature of proof-of-work crypto,

That argument is not necessary. The point is any non-essential activity that uses electricity has this environmental impact, and said impact could be reduced by taxing CO2 emissions from non-essential activity.
This kind of punishment was very common in most western nations two or three generations ago as well. So if you talk with people from my father's generation it is very common to hear stories of physical punishment by parents and teachers.

Fifteen years ago the common opinion there was "well it didn't hurt me because everybody got it". Only, people realized that it actually did hurt them, they just buried it deep down. They realized that the "strong hand" of their elders was actually a sign of weakness. If you cannot guide a kid without beating them, you are an utter failure as an adult.
Apple should push Lightning iPhones onto UK for next 20 years just to piss brits off.
If this kind of thing interests you: late-2000's/early-2010's Apple had some fantastic documentation, but it's all hidden in the “documentation archive” (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/navigation/).
C'mon there's like a thousand threads on these already.
Ah, a crowd sourced NSA. Very clever.
I use the apple reminders on Mac and tasks.org on Android synced with nextcloud. I don't love the apple reminders app but until nextcloud tasks supports recurring tasks I'm kinda stuck with it.

I took a look at implementing it a year or so ago and it's a decent amount of work even to just have the non UI parts working (so that checking a task doesn't delete it if recurrence was set elsewhere)

>Strong user safety features are at odds with a federated protocol.

The whole philosophy behind Mastodon is the idea that literally the opposite is true. Servers that are aligned in their safety feature preferences are able to federate with each other and de-federate with servers that don't share those safety features.

For all of the dissing of Mastodon, one thing even its critics begrudgingly admit is that it has better and more granular controls for privacy and controls that mitigate harassment. Normally when people say Mastodon is bad for this or that reason, they say that these controls are unnecessary or too complicated, but I don't think anyone seriously doubts that they are there. And those controls depend in a fundamental way upon federation. If there's one thing to understand about Mastodon it's that it leverages federation to improve strong user safety features.
The last time they changed their connector (to lightning) they invalidated a lot of third party accessories designed around the old connector. Not simple stuff, like cables, but docks galore; many in expensive long-term purchases like luxury cars and stereo equipment. It stressed a lot of partnerships that define Apple's luxury brand status.
It is not the charging cables, but the actual chargers itself. They are eye watering expensive if you buy them from Apple directly.

Amazon and eBay are flooded with fakes that can be life threateningly dangerous. I can see why some people prefer to buy from Apple rather than figuring out what brands are actually not going to burn your house down.
Are you saying all of them are appropriate tools for the exact same set of problems, and their only differences are up to subjective taste?
Thanks for responding - I obviously don't have much idea of academia but this is seems like an area ripe for "disruption" (as much as I hate the tech-jargon). So if the core issue is being reviewed by respectable peers (the publication is mainly the easy to understand condensed outcome of that review), what is stopping the editors of a reputable journal to get together, tie-up with tech solutions and form their own editor boards? Or is there some sort of exclusive contract between the journal and the members its editor board that they can't review outside of the journal?

Because if there is no such restriction, instead of paying £2,700 to Elsevier, they can pay the new platform significantly less and still get the review done by the same quality of editors. Sure the platform name isn't as reputable as Elsevier's is but the editors are the same and the only way to build reputation is to spend time and effort on it - it is obviously not an overnight task.

It is definitely a hard problem - obviously our armchair discussion can't solve it. But it is a very interesting problem.
Hey!

First, wazero is awesome, thanks for building it!

I saw initial steps of a Cranelift Wazero backend in your organization. Any plans or ETAs around this?
It’s going to be interesting in the cases where the security researchers cause denial of service conditions, data corruption, or just weaken or breaks a security control totally leaving systems and data wide open.
> The value they add is questionable at best

...or detract, one might add. I know of a researcher who has been meticulous about editing and wording, only to have the submissions "corrected" for publication to use the wrong word (existing, and meaning something different) for key concepts.

I'm guessing incompetence combined with standard dictionary computer spellchecking at the publisher's end.

I understand what you're saying though. But I think the answer should be to work harder at blocking Google and Apple, rather than capitulating to <new thing>.
Damn, I was hoping for a MacOS version of SysInternals.
>If USB-C is mandated,

USB-C doesn't have to stay mandated. Once every single device and charger is using USB-C, they can let the law expire and the market will keep it a de-facto standard because no one is going to buy a phone that doesn't have USB-C unless it has a lot of advantages. Notice how micro-USB is no longer mandated in the EU?

Also USB-C isn't mandated the only port on the device. Add multiple charging ports. Plenty of laptops do that, even a few phones. It'll make the transition easier for people too because they can continue to use their USB-C chargers if they decide the new technology isn't a necessity. Just like how plenty of commenter here want to keep using Lightning cables.
Not true. Every (decent) journal has someone who goes through the typesetting process again is very time consuming. Whether that plus the review process, website maintenance etc it is worth £2,700 is a separate question.
The most secure option is probably Password Store with a PGP key on Yubikey, in my view.

There is also Passage, which is a similar offering, but I have problems with Yubikey PIV PIN caching (and prefer CV25519 to NIST curves).
Well, there is the stealing part.
I don’t disagree with you on shitty UI, but I’m going to question “a treasure trove for thieves”. I just don’t believe there’s some sort of house thieve’s Union running attacks on boiler infrastructure in order to work out who’s on holiday this week, especially given the low penetration on those things meaning you’re going to get visibility into one in a hundred homes. It just seems so low value compared to driving round the block for a few days and seeing who’s car hasn’t moved.

> My usb-c ecig won't charge from that

Sounds like a "Fake" usb-c. Actually not fake because the usb-c is the connector, not the standard behind it

So I'm not surprised it doesn't charge, it's a "pretend USB-C" thing from China
The iPad already does usb c so there is no excuse
Maybe it should stay invite-only?

I’m not on and am waiting for an invite, but if opening the gates means it ends up being a place I don’t want to be, what’s the point?
Apple many many dongles. Adapters to iphones, cable adapters to macbooks, cable adapters to 3.5 inch headphone jack, to hdmi. Too many Apples dongles exception. My dongle collection is larger than yours.
> you have to experiment

You don't have to. You can. As the previous comment mentioned, nothing stops you from buying all the accessories and cables from Apple at a premium like you used to with lightning.
Apple devices do exactly the same, and has been for many years. I charge my stuff with a third party chargers, all I need is a lightning cable.
I just had a look. The charging bricks they use are USB-C (the phones come with a lightning to C cable now) and cost $30 AUD. That seems very cheap.
How much CO2 german fossil fuel energy production is putting the air compared to the others?

Maybe Germany could go energy martial law, that to build and deploy wind/hydro/solar/etc production plants to shut down their fossil fuel energy production plants. In the meantime, if France is ramping up on nuclear energy, Germany will get some from the EU electric grid.
But how will capitalism survive without private companies stealing whats public?
One of the cruel ironies of the human experience is that making children is almost as easy as breathing.

You'll be surprised how many scientific papers published in reputable journals are not "properly reviewed". In many cases there simply isn't enough time or knowledge to go through every detail of a paper. One example -- if a paper says go to a github repository to look at our source code, guess how many people actually review the code as part of the peer review process? Very few. There could be serious bugs in the code that would affect the results, or maybe the code is difficult to set up and run, but nobody would notice them for a long time.
> “I don't have enough data to draw any conclusions myself.”

The field of psychiatry exists to collect this kind of data and draw conclusions. Doctors agree that physical abuse is traumatizing to children. Not all of them certainly, but a significant amount.

Think about whether you’d want to perpetuate this kind of treatment onto your own children. Would you hit them knowing that there’s a non-negligible chance they’ll be working out that treatment decades later with a therapist? What would you actually gain by doing that? There’s no productive reason to hit children. If the only justification is “I was beaten too”, then you have the power to stop the cycle.
Thanks for pointing out the dark mode issue. Hope to address it soon.

Regarding trigger i meant there is no standard scheduled system like a cronjob.

Deep, grounded answers are lacking because we don't have something like a theory of social/cultural evolution.

Many potential factors are clearly not relevant: was not a major population center like Egypt, was not particularly rich in resources, was not a serious military might like Persia (except, though, in maritime context), was not centralized (quarreling city-states). Economically it was based on slave labor like the entire region. It was an extrovert society (trading a lot, establishing seaside colonies all over the Med etc), but so were the Phoenicians.

Maybe in the end it was just a non-linear cascade that is hard to explain "linearly" after the fact. Maybe using their interactions to copy and cross-fertilize what all the pre-existing cultures had to offer created a domino effect where one thing led to another (eg. improved script -> better education -> smarter logistics -> more spare time -> more philosopher-scientists -> more mathematics, you get the picture).

Its equally important to understand what caused the eventual decline. The depressing fact that "progress" is not monotonic. Could we be heading toward a new middle ages?
Other than charging cables, none of those are the average person uses on an iphone. The ipads now all use usb c.

Wow, in 1983 I hadn’t even seen a hard disk in person!
Complete BS study. Increased exploration reduces reward learning rate. That’s the whole point of explore-exploit trade off which is at least NP hard.

The way they refer to RL dynamics as “RL rates” is also a give away that these people don’t understand RL. I’ll leave the evaluation of their cognitive science merit to people knowledgeable in that area

There are many things in OSTEP that I found really eye opening. One thing that stuck with me was that at some point, when discussing virtualization, it referred to an OS as a virtual machine, and that really changed the way I look at operating systems now.

> That is, the OS takes a physical resource (such as the processor, or memory, or a disk) and transforms it into a more general, powerful, and easy-to-use virtual form of itself. Thus, we sometimes refer to the operating system as a virtual machine.
I did some WebAssembly targeting with a toy SQL to WASM compiler recently and imo the ecosystem is still not that mature.

There's no real multi-module linking right now, which means that for I.e. a runtime library you'll end up 1. Compiling the runtime library to wasm 2. Editing that wasm code in place to add your generated code (that uses runtime functions). And that's a bit hacky.

Fingers crossed for the component model to solve this, but LLVM is definitely much more mature (and can compile down to WASM, and vice versa). In the end, for toy projects, both are great fun, and WASM is definitely more "cutting edge".

Btw. I do recommend using Rust for playing with WASM. Wazero is awesome (and it's what I used) but all the experimental features of WASM that are very useful (like 64 bit memory support) are not available here yet. Wasmtime and wasmer are probably the most popular engines (other than V8), both are in Rust, and both have a lot of experimental features implemented and activatable. Their bindings in other languages aren't as complete in that regard.

Ah but you see, it takes a few years before a new journal even has an impact factor, the sole number with which it is evaluated. To have a high impact factor means that other journals have cited your journal for years in high numbers.

It's a chicken & egg problem - you need a good decade for a journal to be come influential/high IF, but for that to happen you need people to submit their papers to your journal. And they won't do that if there's no or a low IF.... having good editors might help as they'll be able to choose or attract highly influential papers, but that's the least of your worries! Those papers will go to high-IF journals and there's little reason for those papers to go to your journal.

Why do so many commenters on HN always sound so confident, yet none of them work in publishing?

First off, if the only publisher you have a problem with is Elsevier, you have already shown your hand. A half dozen other publishers are more expensive, but you can only name Elsevier. That means you're just repeating a meme that started on forums like this one. So take a moment and ask yourself why any of these publishers shouldn't take the same flak?

The "value" expensive publishers provide is clearly real, as customers are willing to pay for it. And there is clearly no monopoly; dozens of other publishers could make a similar journal at a lower price. Large publishers like Elsevier have thousands of journals, which isn't easy to replicate. But their profit is still in gold toilet territory. So why isn't a competitor able to take their business at lower profit? Answer: Prestige.

Louis Vouitton sells a handbag for $2k. Is it worth $2k? You could say no, that any other bag would be just as useful. But value isn't utility alone. People find that the bag is worth the price because of the prestige that the brand imbues the owner with.

Expensive publishers are still getting business because their customers still find value. Can you do it cheaper? Of course. Can you charge less profit? Of course. But will customers pay for it anyway? Of course. Because they're not paying for utility. They're paying for prestige.

Academic research is addicted to publishing in prestigious journals. Their entire system of grants and research positions is completely dependent on it. They simply have no alternative system. It's the industry dirty secret: prestigious journals are like coca cola with real coca leaf extract. You pay for it largely because you're dependent on it.

Of course, the customers complain about the price, so the question is, why not just buy something cheaper? Because that would defeat the whole point, which is to buy prestige. You can't just pay a kid in high school to run a web server for PDFs and say you have a prestigious journal. You have to have a brand that carries prestige, like that Louis Vouitton bag.

Until academic research no longer depends on prestige, no amount of walk-out stunts or individual universities walking out of deals will change anything. People still buy Louis Vouitton even though there are knockoffs. Because prestige is what they're buying, not a handbag.
