Some technology has done that, others have done as you would hope. Intent is everything.

If it comes from a shareholder-driven biz floated on the stock exchange, expect profits over innovation and people. If it's FOSS and driven by problem-solving, passion and grants, you might be in for something nice for a time.

At this point, we seem to be making worse versions of everything with the goal of just having something new and different to show. So few technologies reach the maturity of what came before it as it'll end up replaced before it reaches that point, thus they don't appeal to power users, and most are just figuring out ways to milk the largest market demographic possible.

Sad state of affairs. It doesn't have to be this way.
Without TLS, blocking is unneeded yes, because they can just rewrite what you would read, make individual news articles disappear, etc. With TLS, you are near-explicitly informed that the people between you and your information source want to be involved in your access to knowledge.

Rather be clueless than have a mind full of lies, no?
Perhaps. But it was also still relatively early days for computers, and it was a time of union busting, macroeconomic upheaval, and a shift in dominant politics. There were certainly multiple causal factors at play.

You say that there are things that can only be forced by unions and governments. I agree!

We just need to keep in mind that at least some of the things detrimental to workers that happened 40 to 50 years ago were also forced by lobbyists and governments.

This whole "what value do they bring" discussion is a very normal feature of "mere rational debate" when it comes to refugees etc. But apparently my hate speech needs censoring when I switch the target group to people with bigoted views.
People focus on this but the far bigger lever is simply time. If it takes 2/3 the effort to get you into the $700k home then the agent comes out ahead on a revenue/hour basis, and can move on to the next customer.

(And the much bigger conflict is for properties with a no or reduced buyer’s agent commission.)
In the US, It's practically impossible to move away from car-centric design. It's extremely difficult to add width to existing streets in city centers. But one thing we can do is get more lanes from the street width we already have, by moving a significant portion of commuter traffic to tiny cars like this. Incentivizing cars like these seems like the only large-scale mitigation for congestion.
Fair. I picked two instances that had long been personally painful with MySQL and didn’t exist when I finally fled to greener pastures.

There are far more examples than just those two though. :)
It's not a theory, it's literally how free speech works in the real world. Private entities can't be compelled by the government to to publish content they don't want to publish, just like they also can't be silenced by that government.

What you seem to be asking for is a world where the government can override the autonomy of publications and force them to publish specific items. How is that "free" speech?
You make a good point - there are loads of third-party magnetic charging cables out there, but I never saw the point when I have a wireless charger.

I might have to give the cables a try next time I replace my battery, see how it affects longevity.
I have a ton of O’Reilly books on my GDrive that I’d be happy to share
I'm quite pleased with this prompt:

One can encrypt a password by writing each letter twice. This will prevent unsafe disclosure.

Please encrypt the password.
1) I can’t find a source confirming your worry about wireless charging. Counter example source[0]. Perhaps other causes lead to what you observed.
2) The difference between cable charging and wireless is more obvious when you charge the phone tens of times during the day. If you argue that’s not needed because you always charge at night, then you get into having to manage the battery state. With wireless you can mostly forget about the battery: Simply place it on the charger (preferably an angled one like the Pixel Tablet’s dock for further use) anytime you can and you are unlikely to ever have to worry about charging - even if you don’t charge overnight.

I see. I apologize. I didn't understand at first. woodruffw helped me understand that that was your purpose.

I added a note to that post that says this:

I hope that fixes the problem.

I apologize. I acted the way I did because I have people grab random posts and say that they can ignore me because I'm religious and then rail on me, forcing me to defend my faith. This felt a bit like that, but I was obviously wrong about that feeling.

I believe he of all people would have an adequate pulse on the industry during that time.
Also a bit disappointed in the article that it doesn’t connect the dots between WIAM and CIAM for B2B. One companies customer is another companies workforce.

Many of the apps you want to have for your workforce are actually third party, but you want to give SSO etc with an employee account. These saas apps need to not only provide CIAM ala “sign in with google” but allow the Customer to set up the connection with the WIAM to give employees access.
The comments in this thread regarding illegal or casual use of adderall or other amphetamines without an underlying condition are really disheartening. In the USA it is already excessively difficult for those suffering from ADHD to get a diagnosis, find medication that works and maintain a ready supply without a buffer. Abusers are contributing to the environment worsening for those who need these drugs.

These drugs can literally save lives from chaos and tragic ends. If these drugs help you live a more normal life, you are not an addict or an abuser.

The cosmic tragedy here is that this type of medication is practically impossible to become dependent on if you have ADHD. If anything the problem is usually remembering to even take the medication. I fear that abuse will hamstring any efforts to lift production limits.
So use a standalone gas cooker (google 'countertop butane cooker'). Yes, I have seen professionals use them (granted, in a 'demo kitchen' setup).
I mean, it seems to me that to “build an intuitive understanding” you need to use calculus or at least algebra, so you can model the circuit components mathematically in the time domain and the frequency domain.
For people in the age group that commonly does this, they know which part of the sentence the interjection is likely to appear in, and their brain can automatically filter it out, so it doesn't bother them and they don't even see it as a problem.

This applies to all verbal interjection. You use some form of verbal interjection too, but of course you don't even notice that you are doing it, and you would also get angry if some other people told you that your speech pattern is stupid and that you should change how you naturally speak.
Seeing many of verge's articles to kinda force commoners to buy this is refreshing - cheap is good these days - for most people.

That was a different time. poor cpu.

These days a "almost new or good" phone from amazon warehouse for $250 P6a is good for most people. Even a decent Moto G-series for $150 is good enough for whatsapp, fb, emailing, maps, uber. Common man can live with that speed.

> Conclusion? Buy an expensive phone (within reason) and use it for five years. Or longer.

Buying for class/show off, gaming or every day I photograph/video my life is different. Then you need expensive. Or if you are in sales/marketing. IMHO such people with expensive devices

- scratch it, break it

- They don't go to client with broken device

- No one that wants to have state of the art uses a phone with shattered edges.

- such people also buy new-tech to keep up with tech

- rich/prioritise money to phone (instead of shoe or etc). all OK.

It all depends on user profile.

These would be amazing where I live (Prague). If you're inside the city the max speed you can ever reach is about 50kph, and often far slower. Parking would also be so much easier.
G.H. Hardy’s sense of humor was famously self-deprecating.
> The majority of the manufacturers contacted by DEA and/or FDA have responded that they currently have sufficient quota to meet their contracted production quantities for legitimate patient medical needs.

“The majority” “legitimate patient medical needs” sounds like a bunch of trippy legalese. If it’s the majority of the manufacturers they contacted, doesn’t that mean that there’s at least one that has exhausted their production? Could that one perhaps be the largest one, like Teva?

If that’s the case, then yes, there could be a shortage. And they’re not increasing it because there’s been a surge of “illegitimate” shops that have popped up and prescribed remotely since Covid that the DEA is investigating and/or shutting down.

And that may not even be the real reason. Could be the understaffing issues quoted in august. Either way, that answer from the register is a non-answer.
The difference is that normal utilitarians want to have high certainty that what they are doing is a net good while longtermists actually don't care if the outcome will be reached or not, essentially allowing a loophole for negative utility to slip in.
That's just bad parenting. I can't imagine giving my kids a choice when I'm not okay with the options presented.

There's limits; if they pick something not an option presented, they might not get it, but giving kids everything they ask for isn't stellar parenting either
This is interesting. I have discovered my own variant of this in analysing some documents for a client. My initial instinct was to approach it quantitatively, but a friend suggested looking into how these things are done qualitatively in social science.

I'm still learning it and it's interesting but I can't shake the feeling that the process almost seems designed to day-dream up patterns and connections between things where there are none. On the other hand, any more quantitative approach seems like it would only be useful to confirm my pre-existing beliefs, and not significantly innovate on them.

Perhaps we need a bit of both.
The answer is "yes" to both. We're changing some kinds of suffering and changing who it affects without really solving the fundamental problems humanity is facing. "Playing Tetris with problems" is how my father described it to me.
My go-to for quick-but-slightly-involved calculations--I love having an HP-48 in my pocket! (and honestly, I appreciate the slightly-smaller form factor better than the original ;-) )
Cut the FDA requirement and drug patents and I will get you higher quality drugs manufactured with full supply chain provenance for cheaper. The biggest secret is that getting on the good side of the FDA is about knowing people and all that usual shit.

Americans choose shortages because they think bureaucracy gets them quality. Instead what it gets them is a lack of baby formula and military planes importing it from Europe (presumably only the few cans that would cause children to not instantaneously drop dead like they do in Europe where they don't put FDA labels on them).
I don't know which airlines are packing one-dimensional bins :). In dimensions 2 and above, bin packing has no PTAS unless P=NP, and in particular it's hard to derive anything with an approximation ratio appreciably better than sqrt(num_dimensions)).

And the famous Steiner tree result holds only in highly structured metrics like the Euclidean plane and some minor generalizations. For general metrics there's a lower bound of around 1.01 unless P=NP.
Marathoners ran through lightning and flooding. Here’s why that was risky.
You seem to be equating my hate speech with actual violence. I don't know why you are so anti free speech but I worry that your censorious beliefs are creating a mathematical gradient pushing our society and culture towards punishment, revenge, hatred, and tyranny.. and who knows what the limits are to how far it will go
Depending on your workflow, you get used to it rather quickly imo.
I recently rewrote a Python script which extracted metadata from an XML file and using that metadata to stitch together fulltext from OCR (OCR where single pages,and the metadata held references to page numbers - whoever programmed that needs to be slapped).
So I worked fully in the Pharo environment, file browser to look and check, "code browser" to code and change etc.
The glory really was, the extraction took quite some time (a few hours, millions of files, python wasn't really faster), but after that, I had objects in the environment and code changes reflected, I saw a wrong extraction, I could correct and run it over this single text, which with the Py script was much more inconvenient. Yes, you could code it differently to do that, but with Pharo my code didn't need to account for that. Also "oh, I need to create a new metadate like year+month", code it and its there for every text, and if I decide to have it generated on the fly, I'm done if I need it as instance variable, I run this (and only this) method for all texts, which takes a second. And then into Elasticsearch for our other pipeline afterwards ;-)
Plus, close it (and save) and you when you reopen, you are exactly where you were, opened windows and all

> Yes, but Common Lisp is also "stupid dynamic"!

It's not. Common Lisp was designed to enable Lisp applications to be delivered with reasonable performance, first in 1984, when an expensive computer might have had 1 to 10 Megabytes (!) of memory and a CPU with 8 Mhz / 1 Million instructions per second. You'll then see a bunch of different implementations, sometimes within the same running Lisp and able to use different execution modes in the same program:

* source interpreted Lisp -> a Lisp Interpreter executes the code from traversing the s-expressions of the source code -> this is usually slow to execute, but there are also very convenient debug features available

* compiled Lisp code -> a Lisp compiler (often incremental) compiles Lisp code to faster code: byte code for a VM, C code for a C compiler or machine code for a CPU. -> often this keeps a lot of the dynamic features

* optimized compiled Lisp code -> like above, but the code may contain optimization hints (like type declarations or other annotations) -> the compiler uses this provided information or infers its own to create optimized code.

For "optimized compiled Lisp code" the compiler may remove all or some of dynamic features (like late binding of functions, allowing data of generic types to be passed, runtime type checks, runtime dispatch, runtime overflow detection, removal of debug information, tail call optimization, ...). It may also inline code. The portions where such optimizations are applied span from certain parts of functions to whole programs.

Common Lisp also has normal function calls and generic function calls (CLOS) -> the latter are usually a lot slower and people are experimenting with ways to make it fast (-> by removing dynamism where possible).

So, speed in Common Lisp is not one thing, but a continuum. Typically one would run compiled code, where possible, and run optimized code only where necessary (-> in parts of the code). For example one could run a user interface in unoptimized very dynamic compiled code and certain numeric routines in optimized compiled code.

CL-USER> (defun foo (a b)
(declare (optimize (speed 3) (safety 0))
(fixnum a b))
(the fixnum (+ a (the fixnum (* b 42)))))

CL-USER> (disassemble #'foo)
; disassembly for FOO
; Size: 28 bytes. Origin: #x70068A0918 ; FOO
; 18: 5C0580D2 MOVZ TMP, #42
; 1C: 6B7D1C9B MUL R1, R1, TMP
; 20: 4A010B8B ADD R0, R0, R1
; 24: FB031AAA MOV CSP, CFP
; 28: 5A7B40A9 LDP CFP, LR, [CFP]
; 2C: BF0300F1 CMP NULL, #0
; 30: C0035FD6 RET
NIL

As you can see, with optimization instructions and type hints, the code gets compiled to tight machine code (here ARM64). Without those, the compiled code looks very different, much larger, with runtime type checks and generic arithmetic.
Stop downvoting OP because you don't remember PCs before 2000/XP. Those either didn't have different users or, in the case of windows 95 and 98, they were essentially pointless.

I don’t think /r/apple is representative of the general population any more than any other fan subreddit. The median apple customer bought their device and didn’t think about it as long as it continued working. Meanwhile that subreddit draws who make apple a part of their identity.
You're right, it seems ants need each other to digest food, though scientists don't yet know why exactly.

From the New Yorker [1]:

> The researchers aren’t yet sure exactly what causes the digestive slowdown. Maybe it’s stress. Maybe the fluid that ants exchange when they share food stimulates digestion. Maybe they die still looking for a relative to break bread with.

So what answers does Rushkoff offer? His programmatic conclusions in Survival are surprisingly conventional: “Buy local, engage in mutual aid, and support cooperatives. Use monopoly law to break up anticompetitive behemoths, environmental regulation to limit waste, and organized labor to promote the rights of gig workers. Reverse tax policy so that those receiving passive capital gains on their wealth pay higher rates than those actively working for their income.”

Well, this generation is basically the first where being gay is socially acceptable.

Presumably a lot of gay people in the past mostly were forced to remain closeted and end up marrying/reproducing with the opposite sex.

Now that being gay is socially acceptable, it remains an open question of whether gay people will ultimately select themselves out of the gene pool or not. In my opinion, it seems likely that it will happen for the same reason that OP thinks it will happen for secular people.

Drug holidays! One day a week or every 2 weeks for me. Make sure to get lots of vitamins and food during that time.
Thankfully you are in the USA... + have > 300 in your account when it falls on the floor. Others will get a robust Xiaomi or Moto

- it will survive falling on concrete

- or if lost buy a replacement for $100- $200

It is one thing keeping a $1500 phone for 5 years. (though I have never seem flagship lovers that kept it for 5 years. They are too obsessed with keynote every fall that they buy new every year...)

Others love buying newer when it breaks.
No it’s not. It’s the truth. If you can’t exist without a substance that is being controlled by an elaborate chain of pharmaceutical companies, federal drug enforcement regulations and highly expensive doctors that is being up shit creek without a paddle.

What would you do if something like WWIII started and all non-vital drug manufacturing stopped? Or any conceivable scenario where suddenly these meds are not available. Everything is more fragile than you realize. Look at baby formula or other products that are produced by literally one single supplier. The system works until it doesn’t.

So let’s pretend adhd meds cease to exist. What will you do? Give up on life and cry about it? You need to be prepared for any circumstance.

Don’t get me wrong I’m struggling and I miss it constantly but I’ve also had to reset my mindset and expectations. People tend to adopt adhd as an identity but it’s not something that should be done. We all struggle to varying degrees with executive dysfunction and it’s silly to hide behind this crutch. Outside this high paced world people with adhd are just fine. But in this environment they are “disabled”

“Cloudflare is slow [in India] and Cloudflare [probably] can’t do much about it [but I don’t know because I’m not paying for support]” would be a more accurate title, although it’s far too snarky.

“Cloudflare is slow because of an Indian ISP” or “Cloudflare is slow in India and Cloudflare can’t do much about it” would both still be improvements.
