Did Costco change their return policy? It's now 90 days on cell phones, which is the return policy for most of their items. And that's already far more generous than most retailers with either 30 or 14 days.

A year is crazy. I assume it was under warranty though, so Moto would have replaced it?
It's not inferior if your goal is a large amount of lower class babies growing up with few prospects outside of the military and retail jobs for the rest of their lives.
> Microsoft is working on a force quit option to close apps without the Task Manager in Windows 11 simply from a right-click option in the taskbar.

When did they put that in os x? In 1.0?
> And that would impact tiktok how?

Well, as it stands they would fall under user tracking, and thus either would be banned or they would have to change their business model and open up to regulators.

And remember, a law does not have to be perfect to serve as a deterrent for bad behavior.

> your solution would amount to nothing.

TikTok is only the tip of the iceberg, so a broader law that bans all user-tracking (including tiktok) can certainly do a lot more than just banning tiktok.

Your comment is ironic considering that the article is designed to rile up exactly the other side.
I would prefer it be banned. Most countries are able to block things built by their adversaries and the US needs an equivalent
It’s really not. The US has a little bit of a history of starting wars.

Also, I’m not sure if you’re aware, but you might want to look up what the US is doing in the Pacific right now. It not out territory. It’s not our fight. We should be minding our own business focusing on our own citizens, not militarizing the Pacific and denying a billion people access to advanced microchips every way possible.
It's also hard to claim the account in "Return to the Little Kingdom" at https://archive.org/details/returntolittleki0000mori_u2z0/pa... is derived from that in "Accidental Empires" at https://archive.org/details/1996-accidental-empires/page/185... .

> Since, in Scott’s mind, the computer gave birth to the business he assigned Wozniak number one, Jobs number two, Markkula number three, Fernandez number four, Holt number five, and Wigginton number six, reserved number seven for himself, and gave Espinosa number eight.

AE says:

> The badges included a name and an individual employee number, the latter based on the order in which workers joined the company. Steve Wozniak was declared employee number 1, Steve Jobs was number 2, and so on.

The former has more details and different intention for the initial numbering.
Obviously not true.
But people do have democratic(ish) influence over business. Businesses must please customers and have big incentives to respond to customer demand. A business that fucks over customers is going to lose a lot of money, unless there's some tradeoff at play (e.g. Apple "fucking over" customers due to hard-to-replace batteries. Except people want a sleek phone and are evidently pleased with prioritizing form factor over repairability.)
Note that International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection is a thing.

Sex education happens in 6th grade. Unless you’ve been living under a rock most kids already know what sex is 6th grade onwards if not earlier.
Yup. To put it another way, if any company back then had Woz building things with that high a capability to cost ratio, it would have been very easy for them to punch way above their weight and capture significant share with even modest marketing talent.

And arguably, Apple could have been much more successful in the 80s and 90s if they had leveraged technical excellence at an Apple II-like price point, instead of ascending into the pricing stratosphere like they did in our actual timeline. Jobs arguably realized this a bit, as he priced the iMac ($1299) a lot better than the Macs that came before it (about $1699 for a comparable all-in-one in 1997).
So it’s got nothing at all to do with the topic then, ok.
Eurgh I actually Googled that, well played.
Try Chrome and see if it’s faster there…?
I would posit that it is defamatory by technical description. I think good faith collegiality requires reaching out to the person deemed to be a fraud and trying to resolve the matter as colleagues and peers instead of assuming bad faith and invoking a pitch-forks out call for decrying the fraudster. That said, the evidence laid out by the research group against Gino doesn't leave any doubt that fraud didn't take place. The defendants should prove that Gino would have covered up her tracks had they taken a more reasonable approach. Additionally, I think a stronger case can be made by involving the funding agencies that supported Gino's work as it's their money that was misspent. Lastly, it would make sense to bring evidence of Gino's work impacting downstream research or policies bc of its fraudulent claims. The last two points are essential if the defense is that maintaining the integrity of scientific research was the goal.
It would mean that apps discovered tracking users illegally, would be banned and fined locally.

And that means any money leaving the US, or money entering the US, would be eaily seized to pay fines. Everything from money paid by app stores, from ads, to renting commercial real eatate in the valley, funds being transferred in country to pay employees, all of it can be seized.

And the apps can be banned from all apps stores, and even eventually a court order to prevent any version from being preloaded. Anyone providing binaries could be fined per count, IP addresses of servers banned, DNS blacklisted, on and on.

Plenty can, and will be done, because that's where all this is headed.

And I might add, the above is "being a nice guy", compared to what China does in these circumstances.
It was correctly flagged because there was already a huge discussion about this in another thread, which this one is simply pointing to. I didn't even see the current submission until a few minutes ago, and I commented extensively in the other thread, answering every question I saw.

We don't want this sort of meta HN-eating-its-own-tail (I'll use that metaphor instead of the more vulgar one which came to mind first) in general, which is why submissions to news.ycombinator.com itself are banned on HN. This one shouldn't have been vouched for.
I generally agree with the argument, but haven't we just swapped the institutional preference?

A library curating its inventory is effectively a ban to everyone downstream of that curation who no longer has the book available.

The government, by imposing its own list of criteria, is engaging in a form of curation (at least to themselves)

In neither case are the books unavailable for purchase to those who want them, and are freely available on the public market.
22 years later, and the only one of those problems I haven't seen on Linux recently is broken wifi.
and when you architect managing user privacy as a drawn-out process that won't even begin until another human responds in a completely manual engagement, i can immediately see the motivation of the above poster wanting administration to provide an answer without the response time being calculated in business days.

completely fair game to shortcut an outdated hostile process with your own hostility, not really an unexpected result (e.g.: web scraping VS using an inaccessible API). it's an unacceptable approach in a modern context.
Albini. Torvalds. What other two names can round out the four horseman of the surly rantiness?
Nope, that’s your phrasing, not mine. I didn’t call anything here “niche”.

I'm a Software Engineer with 7 years experience, but I've been out of the game for a while now. I also have not touched windows in 8 years, and only use Linux on a VPS, so the basic "computer" always works.
It's easy enough to implement decoding and there are packaged antenna (ferrite rod and coil) and conditioner (auto gain amplifier with Schmitt trigger output).
> Non-ionizing radiation can affect your DNA, for instance UV can cause DNA damage in skin cells.

But UV is ionizing. The article you linked to says:

> UV-B and UV-A rays are two forms of high-energy radiation that ionize (i.e., remove electrons from) molecules in a photochemical reaction that generates new molecular products.
The problem with centralizing everything like this is it becomes a honeypot and to make things worse it is expected to be run by the common non IT person who may not even recognize that they have been pwned. I admit it sounds like a dream, but realistically, I see how difficult it is to achieve.

If I'd have to choose I'd take a kinda-good off the shelf solution over a "Linux tools hacked together" solution any day.

Especially because I don't want to maintain something important like a photo collection forever. Having other people in the family being able to use it by just installing some mobile app off the app store is also a big plus.
People don’t use cookbooks. They go to McDonnalds.
When a book is actually "banned", you get thrown in jail for downloading an illegal copy from libgen or conspiring to distribute photocopied samizdat. Consult the United Kingdom for examples.
What were the decisions supporting the project's use of Buck2? Considering your team is specializing in the domain of infra automation, compile times of all of SI's Rust must be a hot topic among the team.

This is an ancient article from 2006.
Excitement and curiosity about science is a good thing, but hyping up dubious claims and low quality research is not. I don't know who to blame in this case; I'm not sure whether it's the researchers, science journalism, social media dynamics, or a combination of all those things. But it doesn't seem healthy to have the general public incentivizing scientists to rush out early results with sensationalist claims. Real science takes years to validate results and a lot of that happens behind closed doors, as it should.

I think the public reaction in this case is a symptom of a problem with our information ecosystem that extends beyond science. Just because something is fun to participate in in the moment doesn't mean it's not harmful to the underlying scientific/political/social process.
> Sadly this event showed there's a market for hyping up weak claims that people will be poor at evaluating

I don't see it as in any way an unique event, and also not unique for the enthusiasm seen on this site. The "believers" in most of the hypes typically aren't cured fast, as the article notes:

"While some commentators have pointed to the LK-99 saga as a model for reproducibility in science, others say that it’s an unusually swift resolution of a high-profile puzzle. "Often these things die this very slow death...""
If it goes off the rails, it probably is not backed by data or logic.

The reason for the complaining is the population not the farmers. Why do you think they built the retirement communities in the desert? That's right! The land was gobsmackingly cheap! Why?

There has been a case about removing books potentially violating the first amendment:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Trees_School_District_v...
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Board-of-Education-Island-T...

In brief, we hold that local school boards may not remove books from school library shelves simply because they dislike the ideas contained in those books and seek by their removal to "prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion."

ChatGPT and its ilk don't enable me to do something today that I couldn't do yesterday. Nor do they enable me to do something an order of magnitude faster than I could do yesterday.

Contrast this to when microprocessors hit. Suddenly, things like industrial control went from the size of multiple refrigerators to a PC board. When the price dropped (things like the 6502), engineers went absolutely bonkers building amazing things.

The substance produced from the paper isn't a superconductor. While extremely unlikely, there is still a chance that LK-99 is a superconductor, but the paper itself did not sufficiently describe the method needed to make it so as to replicate it properly. We will know the resolution to this once the sample from the original researchers is assessed by a third party, of which there are presently at least two to my understanding doing this right now.

You are the only one here trying to re-define ban, i.e., playing word games.

We are talking about public or school libraries, which are government institutions. When they remove books, based on narrow religious criteria, that is exactly the government prohibiting circulation (your own definition) via those govt-controlled channels of schools and libraries.

Yes, but I was replying to someone about heating.
Well they're asking it if a particular title contains porn/descriptions of sex, and then someone else is deciding whether it should be banned. The AI is not "automatically" banning books, and it's not really reading them either
UV is right on the edge of of the spectrum for non-ionizing radiation. I would bet that it still has some ionizing effects, as I'm sure the line between ionizing and non-ionizing is just just a cutoff at a specific frequency.
If you're interested in buying a Casio watch that does this they tend to be called Waveceptor, I'd recommend looking at one that's also solar powered (tough solar).
Is it really not common? I don't thing I have seen a digital clock or modern wall clock which doesn't have it. I think my Microwave has it too. Onky my oven doesn't. Is it maybe more common in Europe?
Actually you're kind of correct. Our measurement of the planet isn't complete. We don't have the ability to measure the movement of every molecule and get a perfect temperature measurement.

So imagine all that extra energy swimming around. If it gets pushed into the deep ocean we have no way to measure that, but after a while it gets pushed to the surface and it looks like the temperature spiked as it also warms the atmosphere.

So the temperature at the moment is actually always increasing but we have to average it over a longer period of time to iron out the gaps in our measurements.

As I understand it, the windows minidump contains the stack data for each thread. This is more than the stack trace: It also contains local variables.

As the slogan goes, "no government doesn't mean no governance." Anarchism is about a different way of doing governance where decisions are, as much as possible, made by the people directly effected by them, as close to the problem as possible.

Unfortunately there isn't a true, affordable (for an individual or small group) circular solution that I've found. I've taken to gathering all my scraps in a bucket (not mixing plastic types) then occasionally having a "recycling day" to melt them down into bars, rods, or sheets, which are then used for other things using more traditional manufacturing techniques. I made some very pretty swirly vases on the lathe, for example. It's not ideal.
