I was working with drones for a while and one issue with carrying weight was distance. If you want a drone capable of carrying weight it has to have a specific size to accommodate the heavy object as well as batteries that get heavier the longer you want to fly and the more power you need to transport said object. Outside of that rules about line of sight were a thing, so you couldn’t just let the drone fly a pre-programmed path but you also needed to see it. There is also a risk of being shot down. I think at the end of the day search and rescue or coast guards might use drones to deliver something very quickly if there is no other way but outside of that I see challenges that are rather hard to overcome.
Perhaps the intent is to create impediments specifically to reduce support requests....

Science is indoctrination now? What's the point of an education then?
Macbooks use unified memory and ARM SoCs and substantially outperform Intel machines with nearly double the battery life. The MBAs can use two external displays either 4k@120 or 6k@60. There’s also a big usability difference between a 15 and 13 inch display. My MBA 15 w 16GB memory 70W charger and 512GB SSD (you need that for the full speed IO) cost me under $1500, granted w the educational discount. I also got $150 gift card, which I used to buy a discounted iPad Pro and then I got another $100 gift card again. So Apple is pricey sure but still very affordable. I think framework laptops are a gimmick but to each their own
You have an expectation of privacy for the contents of your trunk, but it's less firm than that of your house --- your trunk can be searched without a warrant to "inventory" it if it's merely impounded, without suspicion or an arrest.

If the police had a device that enabled them to see into car trunks, it would likely constitute a search requiring "reasonableness" to use it.

Are you kidding me? It was all basically vaporware that disappeared when the free money ended. The Kiwi food delivery robots were basically fake -- they only went about 1/8 of a mile automatically. So they'd drive a car to the end of a street with your food and a robot, and then get the robot out of the car, put the food inside, and then the robot would hobble over a couple hundred feet to your door. Absolutely useless.

From https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Kiwibots-win-fa...

> The Kiwibots do not figure out their own routes. Instead, people in Colombia, the home country of Chavez and his two co-founders, plot “waypoints” for the bots to follow, sending them instructions every five to 10 seconds on where to go

> On the ground in Berkeley, people also do a lot of robot support. Traveling at 1 to 1½ mph, the bots would take too long to chug to local restaurants, so Kiwi workers pick up the food at restaurants and take it via bikes or scooters to meeting spots around campus to insert into an insulated bag in the bots’ storage compartment.

> The average distance a robot covers for a delivery is about 200 meters (656 feet, or one-eighth of a mile) which makes them fall short of a “last-mile” solution.

I believe the primary appeal of a 12” laptop is that it’s the smallest that one can make a laptop while still having a full size keyboard. Any smaller and you have to start shrinking keys, which has strong negative effects on usability.

This is part of why the 12” MacBook and its spiritual ancestor, the 12” PowerBook G4 were popular.
I love the vagrant UX, I’d be thrilled to see a refresh for 2023. Box management is odd. Weaveworks ignite/footloose are also good but don’t quite scratch my itch. I think vagrant UX with ignite style kernel/rootfs as oci image is a nice flow.
It does. Your car is on a public street. You have no expectation of privacy on a public street. Also the law explicitly addresses tint. You cannot tint the windshield and front windows past a certain poknt.

Your home is private . You have an expectation of privacy there.

My thoughts too. If you buy a car with cash, the only costs are $1k for insurance (or less), $1k for routine maintenance, and fuel. If you have an EV, the fuel costs drop dramatically.

But most Americans have a car payment; the average amount totaling over $400/mo. So in that respect, I guess 10k isn’t too far off.

You're missing the point.

Even the poor do better when there's more jobs available, more job mobility, more housing, more stores, etc. All things that are created by wealthy companies and individuals.

Everyone, including our poorest, benefit from a growing economy.

We just have to examine our average poverty-level person, and compare them to poverty-level persons of other nations to understand this point.
Simplest way to avoid using a valet service is probably to not turn up in a car.
I understand and empathize with your frustration, but I did specifically say that there are some prerequisites for car-light city centers to work well. But I felt that you in turn unfairly generalized the unfortunate NA situation¹ when in fact in, say, Europe there are dozens of cities with pedestrian/transit-first historical centers and hundreds more where it would be perfectly achievable – and is slowly being achieved – if not for ideological opposition.

This isn't accurate. You do have some enforceable expectations of privacy in a motor vehicle parked on a public street --- the trunk, the contents of the glove box, the contents of closed containers in plain view in the passenger's compartment. What you don't get is privacy for any of the parts of the car that would ordinarily be in plain view to someone outside the car.

> ...the Touch Bar is a Power user’s dream.

I would say I'm a "power user" and the Touch Bar was the most anti "power user" move Apple has ever made. The first iterations with no physical escape key were atrocious. Then they gave in and brought back the escape key while still keeping the Touch Bar. I've had it on about a half dozen work machines at this point and I'm so sick of it you couldn't pay me to own one as a personal machine. I'm so glad it's finally going away and you can get machines without. The Touch Bar is a prime example of a solution in search of a problem.
Just to chime in with a different take from the rest of the comments: there’s lots of tools that aren’t really appropriate to use during an interview. If you’re being asked to do (say) tree traversal, then in real life it’s totally fine to Google it and copy/paste a code snippet. But during an interview, presumably they want to know how much you can do on your own without “help”.

It’s not that much of a stretch to say that a debugger is a level of “help” that they want to see you do without during an interview. Using a debugger is a sign that you’re not sure what your code is doing and so you need “help”… maybe the interviewer was looking to see that they could fit the exercise in their head well enough to solve the problem without a debugger.
It's billed as a gaming laptop, but I'd say that the ROG Flow X13 fits the bill as well as any 13" laptop could in 2023.
Meanwhile my (new in) 2016 macbook pro overheats if I plug the charging cable in the wrong side, have a bunch of keys that don't register and only moved a total of maybe 300 feet after reaching the office.

>What does Twitter offer Wikipedia that Mastodon does not?

Though it may not seem like it to the highly-technical terminally-online, twitter is still very much the Schelling point[1] for social media communication. People, by default, will look for communications from (and attempt to get the attention of) large entities on twitter (especially during events like the main website going down). This is a huge deal that needs to be accounted for when listing what the platform "has to offer".

(Of course, the way things are going, this may change in the future. This is by no means a bad move by the WMF. The future is uncertain, though, and it's just worth being realistic about the value twitter still holds in the present.)

I don't remember where, but I read a lengthy comment from someone in the industry which said there were two main things preventing delivery drones from being a viable market:

1. FAA regulations - delivery drones can't operate within X miles of an airport (technically they can, but it requires a much stricter degree of certification and compliance nobody wants to bother with)

2. Drones need a landing space, so people without yards (like apartment and townhouse dwellers, who make up a lot of the population in exactly the densely populated areas where you'd want to use drones to begin with) can't be served

And it turns out that once you exclude "houses within X miles of an airport" and "houses without an LZ", there aren't enough customers left to make delivery drones worth it.
As it stands, this comment contains no information. Can you explain what about Lua is problematic?

IF you replace "mistake" with "choice" I would agree with you completely.

Something what might be terrible for you might be wonderful for someone else. I would actually go so far as to say that we decriminalize all drugs.

I say that as a non-user of "drugs", as in, heroin/cocaine/lsd, the kind of stuff they taught us about in DARE. If you or someone else wants to become a cokehead or a heroin addict, then you should have a method and a path to do so that allows for the safest way to do that with the least amount of life-damaging consequence possible for you.

Would legalizing heroin turn the world into an opium den full of depravity? No.

It used to be legal in America and was even sold as a cough syrup that also came with a healthy dose of marijuana and cocaine, and America did not suddenly become or stop being anything other than what it was.

Some things are going to be done by people no matter what barriers are put into place to stop them. Murderers murder. Alcoholics get DUIs, and even with cigarettes costing $10 a pack poor people still smoke them.

If you accept that as a universal rule you can then pivot to find methods to take as much harm out of the inevitability of the event as possible, not only for the person doing the event but also for the people caught in their wake.

For instance, the illegalization of marijuana has caused hundreds of thousands of children to grow up whose fathers are in prison for the non-violent offense of getting high, and has caused even more poor children to grow up in households where their funds were taxed by the harrowing expenses of probation and having a parent who would be automatically excluded from the majority of good paying jobs for the crime of consuming a plant that the second worst president in human history, Richard Nixon, didn't approve of.

Those are social costs that we all have to pay every single day, that is the world our grandparents left for us. Legalizing marijuana and other drugs would put an abrupt end to that social tax, and even though the consequences will continue to be felt for generations, if we stop re-filling the bucket then eventually it will empty, and wouldn't that be a sight worth working towards seeing?
Miyazaki movies are the ONLY anime where the English dub is anywhere close to good enough. Most anime dubs are done by either A) people who can't act their way out of a paper bag, or B) competent actors who don't bother to pronounce Japanese names properly. Miyazaki movies don't fall into A but do have some major B clinkers. At least with the subtitles I get to work on my Japanese a bit.

I'd go for Modernist Cuisine At Home by Nathan Myhrvold, then his Modernist Cuisine set for a more thorough look at food science. Neither is exactly cheap ($90 and $500ish, respectively), but your local library might have at least the one for you to take a look at before committing. Generally, modernist cuisine/molecular gastronomy related resources can have some good info on food science, though a lot of them focus on being flashy.

Which it should be noted, they do. Semi-truck sized x-ray machines exist, especially at border control, but also elsewhere, and is used to see inside of semi-trucks. Using that same device against a car seems entirely feasible. But as you point out, if they impound the vehicle, they can just inventory the trunk directly, assuming they have the key. If you have a locked safe in the trunk, I don't think they're (legally) allowed to x-ray it to find out what's inside of that, although they can parallel-reconstrution their way to having a reason after the fact.

> For most products, the customer should have the power decide when that hardware reaches EOL. In other words, it should be illegal (and severely punished) to disable or downgrade devices remotely, whether by abdicating the responsibility to maintain their software or by shutting down network services that those devices require to operate fully.

I mostly agree, but the severe punishment for not keeping software or services updated and running should be to release as much of the software as you own and a full hardware spec, well before you turn off the lights. People have to be allowed to get out of a business.

Ahhh very carefully worded indeed. I know you desperately wanted to refer to NATO, but that would mean conceding that "Russia" (since you're conflating the USSR and Russia, and assuming modern day borders) had invaded Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary after WW2. All three countries who leapt at the chance to join a pact which meant they wouldn't meet the same fate again, as did Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland who had also been subjugated by Russia in some form in the past

I mean if you really want to keep score we can continue, and we can explore what happened to some former USSR or Russian Empire countries who didn't join NATO (Belarus being the last dictatorship in Europe and under Putin's thumb, Georgia/Russia wars, Ukraine and the very war we are discussing right now), but I don't think it ends well for your argument...

Edmonton's original light rail line was good for connecting the home of the Oilers with the home of the Eskimos, the former home of the Oilers, as well as the home of the Ooks, the Golden bears, as well as the Saville Sports centre and the Claireview rec center.

The light rail line is not so good for connecting people from their home to their place of work. It was built a long an old industrial rail corridor 40 years ago and the area around all the rail stations is still zoned as industrial.

They've since built massive expansions, which is good, although they are now nearly 4 years behind schedule on the first major leg expected to open. I'm looking forward to an lrt system that's good for more than getting quickly from one sports complex to another.

Cops are basically plumbers. They are blue collar workers, making mediocre pay and working insane hours. (Plumbers actually make MORE than cops for their 40, cops just work a lot of overtime...) Cops are most likely to just not really chase an investigation versus doing twice the work to use some kind of illegal evidence gathering.
