I use the Apple leather case and after 2 years, the case may have worn a bit, but the phone itself is pristine.

There is a set of people (like a friend I have) who doesn't like using cases and feel that the point of having a case-less phone is that the phone is meant to be shown off in its bare glory.

We are only just starting to experiment with quantum systems and I have hope that there are still many things we can discover. Our understanding of light alone is kind of brain breaking in some ways. It acts like a particle and a wave, but it always has a wavelength even as a single photon. And a photon is more of a quantized description of a certain amount of light energy than an actual particle with mass, as I understand it.

It all stems from a certain fluctuation in a specific quantum field, so we may be able to discover properties which allow us to manipulate these as well as other quantum fields. For me it kind of boils down to the more we understand reality, the more complex it becomes, and it always has more layers. We don't truly understand what reality even is, and can only experience certain parts of it with our senses.

So have no fear, the drive to understand what is going on around us is a very human trait and we have built some of the best tools in the history of humanity in only the last 60 years. There's a lot of runway left on science :)

This part is really unnecessary. Parent is most likely not "unable to distinguish" and name calling poisons the air and cheapens your other point which I think is good.
There is a reason many places do not allow glass bottles. It is because they turn into a hazard that is difficult to remediate completely when dropped, and dropping them is probable.

There isn’t plenty of cheap fossil fuel available, it’s becoming more expensive to extract what’s left with each decade that goes by.

The high price of oil is a huge drag on economy, with every spike causing inflation and reducing economic growth.

The USA has already developed technology needed, and renewables are now the cheapest energy source. The countries that scale them up quickly will enjoy smooth economic growth and cheaper energy than ever in history, and the countries that keep using oil will stagnate.

To this day I consider TONC (https://www.coranac.com/tonc/text/) to be the greatest software project I have ever worked with. It touches everything you need to develop games for the GBA. The documentation is awesome on many levels. The book is great. I am just thankful that I found it when I was younger as that introduced me to a whole lot of critical knowledge.
Do they modify where all the registers are and the meaning of their bits with each new generation? That seems like an extremely wasteful way to do things.

I'm not familiar with AMD's GPUs, but have done some "bare metal" Intel GPU programming, and there's definitely a lot of commonality between different generations going all the way back to the i810.

LGPL sets out better, clearer boundaries. And it allows some things that might arguably be derived code, while the GPL would hedge much closer to that line. So it has a use.

If a security feature was required by law and car manufacturers decided to not include it then I can at least see a case, but as it stands this is ridiculous. The courts aren't a way to enforce unwritten legislation.
Demand is inelastic for oil so you’ll just end up with inflation. Ordinary people just trying to heat their homes and drive to work will probably be hit the hardest.
I was rather thinking of buying a tree seed that magically absolved you of a few tons of CO2, never mind that most don't grow to maturity, that it takes a century, and that after that century it falls over and releases that CO2 again. With that kind of math, you can make jet flights fully offset for something like 2% added ticket cost.

Just look at the greenhouse gas compensation airliners offer for an example of what Shell could reasonably have been up to.

I may also have had a classmate that worked at Shell and put on a really good show of how they're not all evil but also spending <insert objectively huge number> on good things. The last strand of that is severed now at least...
lol, have an upvote.
Nice, so that's another scenario. Not sure if we should rank it higher in terms of probability though - at some point they would either have had to survive some catastrophe while all others died (basically the bottleneck scenario?) or go out and kill all the others (no archeological evidence).
> We might say what is really be evaluated is the ability to get good grades (duh) - whether through wealth or work.

Isn't that a good thing? Grades shouldn't be an IQ test. It's pretty much meaningless if you're not significantly below average or using it for super specialized tasks. Getting good grades means you can sit your ass in a seat (be it at a public library or a private tutor) and learn enough to do well on some task.

Yes, good grades doesn't mean you would be necessarily be good at some task. But it shows you can succeed in something that requires effort.
I disagree. Americans think that this is charity for which you should show gratefulness and humility but in my country a social safety net is a right that is given to each citizen.
>I think you need to revisit the definition. There is nothing accusatory about "Why didn't you do it this way?"

okay:

>indicating or suggesting that one believes a person has done something wrong.

I believe the definition is apt here. You believe something is done wrong so you open it up with an accusation of not doing it "this way". It's almost textbook definition. There could be room for context, but in a vacuum it's not best to open up your review with "why didn't you X?". You should have established X while triaging the task.

>ChatGPT gave the following answer:

If there's one thing I'm not going to rely on an AI for, it's for human tone. Even advanced sci-fi sentient android have the stereotype of not capturing tone properly. So there's little point in trusting 2023 web scraping.

It says it's a neutral tone because somewhere in its training data there is a person who assumed a neutral tone. Which in and of itself is subjective. It's based on the AI's limited experience on the internet, and the Internet is also infamously horrible at conveying tone.

back in reality, I've been asked "why" so many times in an accusatory tone IRL that it's always going to put me on the defensive. "Why are you here?", "Why is this not done?", "Why are you late to this meeting?". It's not a good idea in general to do a cold open with that.

>If you're receiving 100% negative feedback, the first place I'd look is internally.

If you get negative feedback from everyone, sure

If you get 100% negative feedback from a few specific persons, then it's probably personal. Especially if those few people are not your direct managers. Something we seem to both agree on is that we shouldn't take things personally in the workplace, but there often is a few people like that no matter where you go.

Oh, that one's easy.

You are entitled to no adaptation from others. Your reactions to their "errors" are your problem, and your responsibility, although of course you can choose to start a fight over whatever you want.

On the other hand, if you do not adapt to them, sometimes they will choose to start a fight over it, or be offended, or whatever. As such, if you want to improve your social outcomes, consider allocating energy to adapting to others.

See? Simple. No centralized decision-making necessary. Each person can ruin their own life however they choose.
I don't exactly understand how you could use it for commercial use in the original license quoted in the thread:

>You may download or copy the Content (and other items displayed on the Services for download) for personal non-commercial use only, provided that you maintain all copyright and other notices contained in such Content. You shall not store any significant portion of any Content in any form.

Does personal non-commercial use allow use for work purposes somehow?

P.S. Just curious.
Do cities have the right to block the sales of certain items based on this kind of logic? Do cities have the right to restrict what its citizens can purchase? What other methods would cities/states have? Pass local taxes on specific brands to "cover the costs" and encourage its citizens to purchase something else?

To quote my all time favourite HN comment quoting Plautus (presumably taken from R.R.J. Rohr's 1970 Sundials: history, theory, practice):

> The gods confound the man who first found out
how to distinguish hours! Confound him, too,
who in this place set up a sundial,
to cut and hack my days so wretchedly
into small portions! When I was a boy,
my belly was my sundial — one surer,
truer, and more exact than any of them.
This dial told me when ’twas proper time
to go to dinner, when I had aught to eat;
But nowadays, why even when I have,
I can’t fall-to unless the sun gives leave.
The town’s so full of these confounded dials
the greatest part of the inhabitants,
shrunk up with hunger, crawl along the street.
— Plautus (c.254-184 BC)

It feels different this time though. Top companies these days have built an intellectual and infrastructural moat that no one can compete with unless they can go back to the 2000's and buy up all the communication pathways.
Pickleball, it’s the only recreational sport I’ve liked as much my entire life, and I’ve tried many: tennis, soccer, judo, golf, basketball, biking, hiking, snowboarding, etc.

Things I like about pickleball are: it’s relatively cheap, easy to pick up, fun to play, highly social/community driven, and just the right intensity level for me.
I'll go a bit further. If this sort of behaviour from politicians is tolerated, it will lead to perverse incentives. Why proactively create legislation when you can wait until there's a problem and THEN take action to garner support for reelection?

No, it would be like suing a couple bottle makers whose bottles are the source of the vast majority of broken glass people are stepping on, even though those bottles are just a small fraction of the bottles in use, and the reason their bottles are so much more likely to end up as broken glass is because there is a simple ingredient that can be added to bottles to make them much less likely to break but they only put that in about 25% of their bottles, whereas the other bottle makers put it in 96% of their bottles.

The cars in question are so much easier to steal than nearly every other car that in several cities insurers will no longer cover them.
> which is why the bills proposed at the state and national level on this issue are trending to disrupt rather than uphold the status quo here.

There are no state or federal-level laws under consideration or that have been passed that will or even intend to reduce housing prices in line with, say, median income for millennial home buyers (the largest cohort currently affected by the housing shortage). That would require massive, state-directed housing construction on a scale that has only occurred in command economies and possibly pre-war Vienna.

Things like Builders Remedy in California are just intended to shuffle millennials into the perpetually-fleeced asset class I mentioned before. This is obvious from the blatant, algorithmic price-fixing by landlords that was recently exposed and which is much easier to do in the context of large property investment firms, without risking similar backlash.

For crimes where the criminal's "happy path" result is to take somewhere from $50 to $50,000, you'd expect that the most important cost element would be risk of getting caught and punished, although I have the impression that enforcement is not actually that strict.

I mention this in the article.

And unlike Xorg, Wayland didn't have it hacked on. There was an actually decent library available (PipeWire) and portals that made it work nicely, and fit with the vision of the Wayland developers.

> It's really not. I've written software that unconsciously targeted both x11 and Wayland perfectly fine. Even native applications in xWayland run... like native.

Ford has a problem where all (?) their cars from around 2012 that have a physical door lock can be broken into with a screwdriver [0]. When I joined the Facebook group that I've linked, there were about 500 of us.

I don't have concrete evidence of this, however since criminals started breaking into our cars, the prevalence of crime related to identity and fraud increased because criminals suddenly had access to information on sometimes unencrypted hard drives.

My laptop bag got stolen in 2017, I parked at a shopping center to go pick up something at a store. I was in there for about 3 minutes, they took my laptop. It had my passport and other docs as I was on my way to apply for a visa.

A few weeks later I got alerts about someone trying to get credit with my details.

From my anecdata and hearsay, I'd accept that convenience crimes in this case increase other crimes.

I mean, if a getaway car is easy to find, it ups your chances at a robbery. Criminals have gotten good at the cat & mouse game with tracking companies.

The Technology Productivity Triad
As far as I understand it, the bottleneck idea is based on a back-calculation of "effective population size" in the past from existing genetic diversity in the present. (This is definitely the case in the article, which specifies "the population of breeding individuals".)

There are a couple of things that tend to be miscommunicated:

1. An effective population size of N means an actual population size that is significantly larger; children too young to reproduce, adults too old to reproduce, and nerds too awkward to reproduce are all not counted in effective population size.

2. If a group gets demographically wiped out at time T, their ancestors at time T-1000 vanish from the effective population at time T-1000, even though those same ancestors were part of the effective population at time T-1000 if you did the same calculation at time T-200.

(This is true to the extent that the vanishing ancestors don't also have other descendants in groups that survive. But the effect is quite significant - the effective size of the pre-Cherokee population in the year 1000 was much larger in the year 1450 than the same quantity, the effective size of the pre-1450-Cherokee population in the year 1000, is today. Was there a bottleneck? Sure; Amerinds in the region of the United States got wiped out. How long did that process take? When did it happen? We know a lot about the shape of the population over the relevant time period - is it something we're comfortable calling a "bottleneck"?)

So we might estimate our group of 1300 effective individuals as reflecting maybe 430 men of reproductive age, 870 women of reproductive age, plus 220 more women of reproductive age who fail to reproduce, 650 more men of reproductive age who fail to reproduce, and a few thousand children and elders not of reproductive age. And if this group later loses a war, their population could be a lot higher than that.

Tell that to Putin. There's plenty of oil. They've been saying its going to run out for 50 years. Dead fields have replenished themselves.
How so? One of the ROCm layers is opencl which does runtime target compilation, and there is also the various intermediate language representations.

So, presumably much of this is just lack of sufficient resources to assure that all the different combinations are optimally being compiled down on all the independent HW devices.

This was always the OpenCL problem too back before everyone just started using CUDA rather than trying to use it. It worked in a lot of places but the higher level code needed to be adjusted for individual devices because each vendor would do a reasonable job maintaining optimal code generation for their target given code optimized for their target, but switching vendors (AMD<->nvidia) would result in needing two different versions of the code tuned for the individual vendors ideas of how code should be tuned for their platform.

If that wasn't clear say you wrote and optimized code for vendor A's device X, when vendor A released device Y, things tended to work well, but moving that code to vendor B's devices basically required retuning/rewritting things.

I assume they chose -00:00 because ISO 8601 forbids it, so there isn't an issue of a compliant ISO 8601 stamp having a different meaning under the RFC.

Does anything in practice care about + vs. - 00:00, though? Seems kind of unlikely to be widespread. Among other reasons because people don't know about it. I think if anything I'd have just left the concept out entirely.
> Yet, something electric would take a very long time to "break even" on the footprint

Of course, replacing a fossil car that is still nearly new is the greater evil. I fully support driving on gasoline if that's genuinely the better thing to do.

What one can do in the meantime is use one of the available options to suck the CO2 back out of the air. It's expensive, but if you say you're happy to pay the premium given your income if only there were options, well, that's an option, and can be applied to the computer purchase or electricity production, too. It does get prohibitively expensive when including every emission, but it's not all or nothing, and also, with solar panels reducing the electricity need, a green energy provider covering the grid demand (that's the best one can reasonably do after solar panels), etc., it should be possible to reduce the need for carbon capture quite a bit already today, and more in the future as more industries greenify
