And for me, that sounds super exciting. Imagine going into a room and you have apps on the wall. You go into your home office, you have apps ready to go (picture a big status dashboard covering a wall, your music app to the left of your desk, stuff like that).

Sure, you might also be just as interested in a society capable of working towards something like the LHC or ITER, by taking care of its citizens and through diplomacy. I think it's a more interesting goal than controlling the seas so that people can get cheap trinkets from China.

And don't get me wrong, I'm just as addicted to my trinkets from China as anybody else, and I benefit from US hegemony. Just trying to think from a total outsider's perspective.

> Rust's obsession with performance above all else confuses me.

It's kind of a requirement if they hope to replace C/C++ as a systems language, as those remain the goto answer for "I need maximum control", short of assembly.

And they want to replace C/C++ to fix all their safety problems.

I work in embedded systems, where C remains a holdout, with all its problems. Rust's performance-oriented direction makes it a viable consideration for us.

The “declassified” UAP videos so far are rote footage containing easily debunked garbage. Why would the military release lens flare videos and claim they’re UAP? They could be blithering idiots not knowing they’re looking at lens flare, which is probably less likely than knowing it’s BS and claiming it’s UAP with some ulterior motive. So, psyop.
I lived in SF in the 2010s... QR code adoption was abysmal. I'm not saying China wis why we adopted QR codes, but because the QR code function was part of the main UX of their main platform (Wechat app), there was massive adoption of QR codes before the US started doing so in the late 2010s because our major platforms (Android, iOS) started integrating it into the core UX.

Incorrect.

Apple didn't ignore it because they cannot ignore it. Apple is targeting both gaming and for work just like how the Meta Quest Pro has done so.

One problem to solve is that probably we don't want people to stand for hours and having to walk through the city or the world. They might not have the space at home to do it. They could sit on an office chair and rotate themselves 360°. If they spend 3k on the visor they can spend $100 on a chair. However you don't even have to do that kind of exercise on a screen.
A friend of mine got PTSD from piloting huge nuclear subs in subsea ravines with a clearing of only one inch on each side of the sub. One wrong move, and the entire crew is gone. He also had to do this in conditions similar to surface storms. Looks like autonomous or automatic systems may be developed for those kinds of manoeuvres now, if it is truly that precise. Seems like a huge leap in navigational systems.

If you are fine with Windows, then do it.

That’s technically true of most domain names. Bing would be more accurately named “bingsearchengine.com”, Apple would be “applecomputers.com”, etc.

That said, Native Seed Search is a non-profit here in AZ (Tucson, specifically) that works to maintain a seed bank for native plants from the Southwestern US:

> Native Seeds/SEARCH (NS/S) is a nonprofit seed conservation organization based in Tucson, Arizona. Our mission is to conserve and promote the arid-adapted crop diversity of the Southwest in support of sustainable farming and food security. Native Seeds/SEARCH seeks to find, protect and preserve the seeds of the people of the Greater Southwest so that these arid adapted crops may benefit all peoples and nourish a changing world.

You’re not wrong that the domain or group name could be more specific, but at the same time the context is understood when you’re down at their brick and mortar location or buying seeds from them as myself and my family do.

I'll flesh out my comment a bit more with a small example of what I mean.

We have an inbox list that is a combination of three different entities (direct message, job request, support message), we display all of these in a unified inbox, rather than pulling all the data with REST and sorting through what fields to use to display as a title and what status maps to which styling/label etc. I can just use my InboxPageQuery and render exactly what it tells me to, being able to build or change entire pages just by pushing new server code really helps with speeding up our dev time.

> We need to implement a global market for CO2 emissions.

This isn’t going to happen soon. The developing economies can’t get out of poverty without burning cheap fuel.
The article mentions that:

> Stratospheric SO2 rains out of the atmosphere after a year or so, so unlike CO2 emissions it is relatively easy to control the dosing and the magnitude of the desired effect

Is this not true? I'm curious about where I can read more about research about the lifetime of atmospheric SO2.

Edit: The best source I could find about stratospheric SO2 was based on measurements after Pinatubo at

I see that the concentration declined to roughly 1% after 180 days (Figure 7). Volcanic aerosols seem to last a bit longer but seem to go back to background around 4 years (Figure 10).
> Microsoft has no shame

They never did.
The UK Electrical Engineers institute wrote up Ferranti's deployment of DC and the cutover to AC in London about 50 years ago. I don't know where a copy is but it's very interesting.

For a while there, Stepney had street lighting in series which faded as the resistance rose down the path. There must have been a time with Gaslight, DC, and emerging AC all at the same time in the cityscape.

Australias electricity reticulation in Victoria is a fine story too. Gen. Monash who was one of the "victors of WW1" along with the NZ and Canadian equivalents was in charge post-war. He also got caught up in a ridiculous right-wing coup (he refused the offer of being the titular dictator)
Your point is valid, but that ... diversity? ... comes at a _very_ steep price. Not only for the manufacturer, also for the consumer! With Apple I _know_ a couple of things about any future purchase, without ever having used, held or felt the particular product. Namely: 1) Build quality will be significantly higher than competitors, 2) It will hurt my feelings to look at the bill after checkout, 3) It will work as advertised (or slightly better).

Yes there also will be quirks I'll be unhappy with, which I _could_ (given enough time and experimentations) find a better solution for. But fundamentally I'll be getting a solid product, that works well enough. It is _that_ promise, which fundamentally allows Apple to do an online store and do a mostly directly-to-customer retail operation.

If you increase diversity, you make this "buy any product and you'll be fine" thing so much more complicated, loosing more sales than the niches even contain.

I'm surprised we don't see more military research for SAT-NAV alternatives. In any big conflict SAT-NAV is trivial to turn off.

I went to Austin City Limits in 2018 and 2022, and in that period I noticed one major change - there was a marked difference in the number of younger folks drinking Liquid Death as a social signifier that they were on something else (mushrooms, mdma, lsd, weed, etc).

In the past few years it's become much more socially acceptable to take alternative substances, and it's probably not a coincidence that a "cool" repackaging of water has taken off as one means of indicating that choice.

That's probably driving more of this trend than just kids not drinking but remaining sober. Alcohol has real competition now... but venues can't sell 2cb.

Regarding the ads situation, Google Search has been the same in my experience. install UBlock origin and that should take care of that annoying fucking crap.

Regarding Bing - I am still yet to meet anyone who uses Bing on a day to day basis for reasons other than adult content, and the fact that Microsoft "still" has a rewards program for people who use Bing itself makes it very clear that it cannot get enough user growth after all these years and is trying to hard to force it by incentivizing it.

> If you were to simply connect your mouse pointer to your gaze, for example, any sort of hover effect on a web page would be activated simply by glancing at it.

I’m curious about how they deal with apparently not doing this, in terms of how do you know what button is going to be clicked if you click? The product page under privacy says that websites and apps don’t get eye tracking data, only knowing when you click, so I guess that means a website won’t display its active/hover effects on a button you’re looking at. Because if it could then it could just link that to analytics in JavaScript and defeat that privacy protection. So if you don’t have that, how do I actually know what’s going to happen when I click?

This seems like a gag that wasn't intended for production. Like an inside joke for an internal app used by MS only, which was then forgotten about when converting the system to be public-facing. QA happened to not run this code path (most likely), or overlooked it due to lack of awareness of antitrust law and lack of anticipating the bad vibes.
The market is hedging it's bets.

If Vision Pro will succeed Meta could be seen as the cheap-ass alternative. 3500USD vs 500USD is like Ferrari vs. Kia. Not everyone can afford the former.

If Vision Pro doesn't succeed, the market will likely move on from VR completely, leaving Apple and Meta in the same place. Money spent, product introduced, tried, didn't work. Move on.
I used to think this, but if you look at the history of environmentalism, many unprofitable changes have been made (e.g. CFC production reduced, leaded gasoline replaced)

This is a dangerous idea to spread, because if you truly believe it then the only solution is dismantle capitalism. The irony is that regulated capitalism in the West has been the most effective at reducing emissions. The places with the worst emissions have the same economic incentives, but different policy (such as China).

1 & 2 are essential for one of the main functions of this thing for now, which is to replace or extend a laptop. I am buying it simply for this purpose. I hate working at my desktop and my Air doesn’t have enough screen estate for efficient dev work on the couch or bed lol.

Proper, well integrated passthrough that seamlessly works with my laptop is crucial for this to work and judging by the marketing material it seems to be extremely well implemented. I simply can’t work with even the quest pro, because the clarity (resolution) simply isn’t there and all the implementations are cumbersome (yea I’ve tried all apps including metas own).

All the other features like 3D video recording are gimmicks to me, but it doesn’t matter.

Not in the way he would have liked. He leaked information on compromised Chinese systems to China, hoping to gain asylum in the then relatively free Hong Kong, but China told him to take a hike. He then got on a Russian airline to try to get to Ecuador, but Russia detained him on pretense of invalid travel documents, which China didn't care a whit about. "Lucky" for Snowden that he didn't reach Ecuador, as Moreno would have given him up like he did Assange.

Relations between employees and company are based on contracts and labour laws. Change of company ownership or executives has no bearing on that.

It therefore varies by jurisdiction but in general companies have been very careful to word WFH policies so that they are discretionary and not a change of T&Cs because they did not want to make employees contractually remote.

Here the article suggests that employees were told then would become remote, which may very well mean that they de facto changed the employment contracts and cannot now change them back unilaterally. I suspect lawyers and courts will soon be involved to settle the question...

They think they can avoid the worst effects of climate change, but I'd wager they're shockingly wrong about that. They'll more likely only delay their misery for a while longer than the rest of us.

The size of the daily Usenet feed is up to over 200TB a day now, even more than the 9TB number in your link. Although I imagine the total daily amount transferred by users is going to dwarf the size of the feed, one might still note for reference that total daily internet traffic is about 3EB which is around 15,000x that of a single full news service.

In other words, good point! I hadn't realized that in nominal terms, Usenet was still growing like topsy (albeit likely shrinking as a total proportion of global traffic).
