Maybe not the best example. Except for some Orthodox Christians (who even then only for religious purposes -- which is why Orthodox Christmas and Easter are celebrated on different dates than what others celebrate it on), the Julian calendar isn't used, having been replaced by the more accurate Gregorian one.
Similarly, does Google suspend payment accounts to get your driver's license photo?

Google knows FULL WELL that the card is valid through the month but locks any payment account associated with it a month prior.

I suspect there's a lot of this going on, though I mind the phone number less. Having dealt with fraud on the other side, requiring a phone number is one of the few (mostly) universal things and costly enough to acquire enough numbers that it really helps slow down spam and fraud.

I honestly don't get the hate for modern cars that some people have.

I recently got a 2023 Corolla, and it's fantastic:

* Android Auto gives me a great GPS to navigate anywhere, anytime. It watches out for traffic, accidents, speed traps, etc. and keeps me informed and on the fastest route

* I can have my phone's whole music library to listen to instead of fiddling with another copy on a USB stick that I'd have to keep in sync

* Automatic headlights and brights

* Automatic climate control (no more adjusting!)

* Amazing MPG (I can get 48 on the highway)

* Tire pressure sensors

* Automatic parking brake so I don't accidentally ruin the transmission

* Automatic lane centering and adaptive cruise makes hour long drives effortless. It's even great in the city.

* All the safety features like brake assist, pedestrian detection, etc. It hasn't saved me from an accident yet, and hopefully won't need to - but it's great to know that it's there

I basically never need to touch the screen except when initially setting up my route. Everything else is on the wheel or sticks.

Seriously. Cars have never been better.

Yes, if you're an enthusiast who wants a fun, sporty and unique car you're eating expensive scraps at the moment. But for MOST people, it's never been better.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is a political attempt to stop the legislation being amended to remove the powers. I would hope that it fails.
Rockstar released Razor 1911 cracked binary of Midnight Club 2 on Steam
A modern digital cluster is pretty much all operated off one little computer. Nobody's used hard wired speedometers in probably 20 years or more. And I can tell you that even back when we did have such things, it wasn't unheard of for the cluster to freak out. Had a ground wire crack on my '95 car and the gauges all started making very random readings. Some even looked plausible at first glance, which meant it took two trips to the dealer before they realized it was an electrical problem and not an actual malfunctioning cooling system.

In the case of the Tesla, BTW, the infotainment is 100% separate from the computer that controls the car. E.g. you loose the turn signal sounds, but the signals themselves work, etc. AP will continue to function, but you can't turn it on without the infotainment screen running. You can reboot the infotainment as you're driving down the street without it affecting your control of the car.
In other words, tracking finfluencers and doing the opposite of what they recommend is (in the short term) a money-printing machine.
Wolfram is able to write it in such a way that somehow it is mostly about him. :-(

There is some overlap between Cyc and his Alpha. Cyc was supposed to provide a lot of common sense knowledge, which would be reusable. When Expert Systems were a thing, one of the limiting factor were said to be limited amount of broader knowledge of the world. Knowledge a human learns by experience, interacting with the world. This would involve a lot of facts about the world and also about all kinds of exceptions (Example: a mother typically is older than its child, unless the child was adopted and the mother is younger). Cyc knows a lot of 'facts' and also many ways of logic reasoning plus many logic 'reasoning rules'.

Wolfram Alpha has a lot of knowledge about facts, often in some form of maths or somewhat structured data.

What you do is what Hindenburg did, short them and make money!

As an investor in Indian markets I was spooked when the Hindenburg story broke - did some research and figured total Indian markets exposure to Adani is about 1%.

This is cool. I'm not sure if I missed it, but did they address how a signal is generated by the array in the first place?

My current understanding is that the device will echo a signal back to the source, not propagate it forward or create a signal.

Is it right to assume low power sensors exist and would be hooked up to this array, and then when the sensor triggers the array echos the signal to the other receiver?

Everything you need to know about the Google Coral USB Accelerator
You know, for all the whataboutism going on in defense of Thomas Jefferson, I’d like to point out that his contemporary, John Adams, never owned a slave. Neither did Thomas Paine, Alexander Hamilton or Roger Sherman.

People were capable of understanding that slavery was wrong, it was just an inconvenient truth for most of them(them being the wealthy land owners in America).

I’m not going to go so far as to say it’s a good reason to forget about him, Jefferson was a great thinker, but the whole “product of the times” is kinda BS. People who act shitty don’t deserve forgiveness because they could get away with something immoral through the contemporary legal framework.

I say this because very rarely are people lionized for being ahead of their times in important practical moral ways.
Which number do you use for online banking and similar? Sometimes it is hard for me to figure out where to draw the line. Then you have PayPal and CashApp and other things in more of an in-between area. And then you have certain services like iCloud where it might make more sense to use your Real Number for some of their features and exceptions to the rule have to be made
I'm guessing you're not UK based?
I think you also mentioned “reasonable” and I’m pointing to the reason. You have to remember who makes the rules and also that this is an old business that’s rich with protected interests.

But there’s also a lot of concern about stolen jewelry and even diamond swapping for seemingly legitimate businesses. So, not too hard to make it also sound like it’s for the consumers best interest.
In other words, tracking what finfluencers say and doing the exact opposite of what they recommend is a money-printing machine (at least, until too many investors adopt that strategy).
I'd take that bet. The only controls I use muscle memory for are some of the steering wheel buttons (not all, e.g. I still have to look for the cruise control on/off for my F250) and the stalks. And even then, when I switch between cars I sometimes have to glance to remind myself which functionality the right stalk has. For climate controls and such, I pretty much always glance. The only knob I can reliably hit without a glance is the volume.

Maybe I've just been driving so long that the variety of cars has impeded my ability to develop muscle memory. But I doubt it.
> As I write this, there's only one way to start using React Server Components, and that's with Next.js 13.4+

I don't understand how this is acceptable to the React user community, that only Vercel gets to be in this privileged position. Why did they not include other companies, or the users themselves, in the discussion and development of this feature.

> Since Server Components are a new React feature, third-party packages and providers in the ecosystem are just beginning to add the "use client" directive to components that use client-only features like useState, useEffect, and createContext.

> Today, many components from npm packages that use client-only features do not yet have the directive. These third-party components will work as expected within Client Components since they have the "use client" directive, but they won't work within Server Components.

The arrogance of expecting all third-party packages, React-related or not, to buy into the "use client" directive. A humbler approach would have been a "use server" directive to opt-in to this behavior, instead of expecting the entire rest of the ecosystem to adapt to it.
Extortionist medical insurers coupled with regulatory capture.
Okay, it's not "skirting incredibly close" to write those reference books, because they are in no way a substitute for the underlying fiction, which is why they would probably be considered a fair use.

>There are at least four books so far in the "unofficial" series, and if you believe that the companies involved wouldn't copyright strike it if they could, that's protected by the first amendment.

You have no idea what you are talking about. The first amendment isn't a defense to copyright infringement. transformative fair use with a de minimis copying is.

> Do you care about safety or the safety of your passengers?

One could make an argument that modern vehicles have gone way too far in the "protect occupants at all costs" direction at the expense of safety for literally everyone else.

E.g. Very thick A-pillars are a major cause of pedestrians and cyclist getting hit. "I literally didn't see them :(" So many cases. All of this nonsense so that the passengers can have 40+ airbags cushion their special asses - and only if they screw up. All of that lack of visibility and tons of extra mass just in case. Pedestrians and cyclists almost universally suffer more for every extra safety measure added for the occupants of vehicles.
No, it shouldn't.

The car can feed media and mixing controls to the amplifier; there's no need to send that elsewhere. Strict separation of concerns. You want to play a "door is a jar" announcement? Tell the amplifier to reduce all the other channels to one-third their current volume and raise the announcement channel, then undo that. No need to involve the phone or tablet or mini-PC or MP3 player or subether radio.

I'm mostly fine with the Tesla approach. The few tactile controls are basically enough for me, especially with the last few updates effectively adding more.

However, the voice controls have been basically useless for me. I wouldn't want to depend on them.

Gotcha. I misunderstood the keeping up context.

I chased TF version updates for a while before being annoyed at having to retool significant parts of my long existing scripts. I gave up and just stuck to a version for what I needed. My only concerns is I may neglect a security update, but this is for personal stuff and not for anything that others use/consume.
Ron Paul rode a crappy, racist, "financial newsletter" into a congressional dynasty and near presidency. This monster wasn't created by social media, but it certainly has flourished with its help.

Edit: correction as Paul Sr was never a senator. He still published a racist newsletter. It bore his name. He profited from it willingly.

Plenty of philosophers and other learned men of past centuries were chattel-slave owners or ruled serfs. But to claim about some non-slave-involving practice that their slaveowning is “essential to understand their worldview”, is not productive. It tells us little about the merits of the practice in question, and on an internet forum it allows parties to derail the conversation towards a political theme for prestige points.

I have no problem with giving my phone number in exchange for a free service. If that changes in the future, there are a lot of self hosted Fediverse options. I just don't understand the charade of suspending a user and needing to go through an "appeal" process which automatically approves you. Just ask for the phone number during registration. I can't help but wonder if this is a plausible deniability thing where they can tell EU regulators they only collect phone numbers when they suspect fraud, and leave out that they've engineered their systems to suspect fraud by default for all new accounts.

The question is, how many mutually disjoint digital domains will the planet eventually split into?

Countries have their own everything (laws, regulations, money, taxes etc) given that this is how the world's political power is managed.

Digital tech and information flow spread like if it is a universal something, but that is not how the worlds political power is managed.

At most you might have coalitions of allies that trust each other enough to have a joint info-space. But there isnt much trust even between EU and US, and ultimately its every truly sovereign entity for itself.
