>The power in the USB cable is DC. There shouldn't be any significant RF component.

Well that isn't even remotely correct.

Any time you have switching, which this does, in DC you have VERY high frequency components in every rise and fall time. Much faster than your period or switching frequency, it's all about how fast you rise/fall. You switch, rapidly, through anything that has inductance, and you have RF.
What are those "other approaches".

> In Pijul, there are two kinds of conflicts inside a file:

> When two different authors add lines at the same position
in a file, and it is impossible to tell which comes first in the file.

> When one author adds a line in a block of text or code, while another author deletes that block.

I don't think this is true. Two different authors can modify the same line in different ways, which is a conflict that's different than either of these categories.

> It is important to note that conflicts in Pijul always happen between changes, for example we might say that “change A conflicts with change B”.

I also don't think this is true. Conflicts can occur in a history (lineage, sequence, etc.) of concurrent changes, which are different than the delta between any two independent changes.

I've suggested that if a book/software/song/movie has not been sold by the copyright holder for > 25 years, it should lose copyright and DMCA protections (but not trademark protections). But the more I think about it, the less I think it could actually work. If something hasn't been sold for N years, chances are the copyright holder doesn't consider it valuable, and won't go after pirates. For example, Nintendo, before they realized that people like old games.
Another estimate from a known crypto skeptic puts an upper bound at 3% illegal activity.[1]

My friends regularly have to have their Pixels replaced/retired due to hardware failures around the 2 year mark. The 7 years of support is nice, but these phones don't last anywhere near that long.
At our company, most of the greenfield projects (with a high-performance profile) are in Java. So, for what our anecdotal example is worth, I can confirm that Java is used for new projects.
IMHO, Java fell a bit behind with the rise of the microservices/lambda paradigm because of its memory footprint and slow start. On the other hand, it's an amazing piece of technology, and I would expect that with ahead-of-time compilation and JVM snapshots, it will become more appealing for these use cases.

I don't want a cheap charging brick with my $1,200 phone. And I don't want to pay more for a nice brick to be included either because I already have one. Good bricks outlive phones. No brick is much better. Buy whatever brick you need whenever you need it.

The only argument is "well, then they should have dropped the price of the phone." Okay dropped it relative to what? "Obviously relative to last year's price." Why? There is/was heavy inflation and other products became more expensive but the iPhone didn't. At most you are complaining about shrinkflation.
> My position is de-facto true - if it weren’t, after the Snowden leaks (among others), the next round of representatives/President would have as their top issue disbanding the NSA/CIA no? As freedom from an abusive gov’t surveillance apparatus would have to be a major concern!

So you have no evidence. You're just vaguely gesturing towards the lack of something.

No smoking gun. No causal link.

And you dare call this a de facto true stance?

> Or at least there would have been a serious investigation with large scale imprisonment of gov’t employees on the top of the list of issues?

What list of issues? Oh, you mean the monthly plebiscites where the citizens vote on what issues the representatives are supposed to be working on?

What are you even talking about? There is no “list of issues”. There are two parties, they decide the issues, and if the public doesn't like those issues then they foment some Culture War nonsense while the election is underway. What choice does the people have?

Vote third party? Get a rogue candidate inside one of the two Party Machines?

The US is democratic to a certain extent but it's pretty indirect.

> The US public wants to be ‘safe’ and know their government is ‘protecting them’, and ‘the bad guys are getting punished’. If you don’t believe me, look up the polls for those in favor of torture after 9/11. I certainly overheard it a lot! Gitmo became a common term.

Uh-huh. And you think the major issue that people have with the War on Terror today was that they went after terrorists? Not the fact that they invaded Iraq illegally and occupied Afghanistan for two decades despite having weak ties to Bin Laden?

And what does keeping people safe have to do with doing underhanded/clandestine/illegal shit? Precisely nothing. No one is mad about a government actually protecting its citizens. People are mad when a government agency goes so far against the credo that it has to actively hide what it's doing.

> That doesn’t mean they wanted to see or know about the reality of it though.

No evidence.

> MKULTRA and ARTICHOKE before it existed because ‘The Russians are figuring this out so we need to figure it out first’. A natural response, and if they panned out, all the sins would have been forgotten. The US would be a world power from more than just Nukes!

No evidence.

> They have to be clandestine about the sins, and the failures though or it gets folks worked up and then they get actual problems (Church commission, funding cuts, etc.). Which as long as they hide it (and they are allowed many tools to do so) no problems.

No evidence.

> I certainly haven’t seen any public discourse or overheard any conversations about getting rid of the ability to classify things. Have you?

Again the proof by omission.

> It’s the ‘he’s not cheating if I don’t know about it’ response.

No evidence.

I like that you simulteanously believe that

1. The US government conspired against all Americans by spying on them

2. The People was of course oblivious to this

3. The people of the US are so all-powerful that this would be immediately solved after the revelations if there was only enough interest to solve it
I agree, that's how I ended up buying the P7P through TMO -- it was a ridiculously generous offer.

With the Pixel updates, at least, the updates come through Google but the carrier (at least TMO) can prevent this from happening even if the phone is unrestricted.
Yet another app to install is not particularly enticing.

OP appears to be Finnish judging by the OH callsign - perhaps his regulator cares about all the interference to the amateur bands from cheap electronic devices. As a fellow ham I can assure you that the FCC does not care about interference from these devices if they are only causing issues for amateurs. If all the cheap switching power supplies and other devices were actually tested, almost none of them would be RF quiet (or even compliant). However the large majority of the public is not impacted by these things and so there is no real constituency to get something done.

Don't you think that three phones in six years is the issue?

I'm still on 2019 Galaxy S10, i.e. fourth year, single phone. The hardware is still in great condition, no malfunction of anything.

There are few problems with the anti-money laundering regimes, but these two are the main problems

- They do not address the underlying crime: prevent the crime in the first place, instead of moving funds

- The focus is on compliance, not on the crime prevention: make sure banks checks all the boxes on the form, so that no one will get a jail card

Furthermore AML tends to mix sanctions (we don’t like China) with organised crime (drugs). The political sanctions themselves are not always direct result of a crime.

What could be done to improve the situation

- Making all company shareholder data public (was in the EU, but then a crook who worked for Russian oligarchs got this overturned https://www.investigate-europe.eu/posts/luxembourg-businessm... )

- Make real estate agents criminally responsible for selling real estate for criminals

- Focus on the largest asset flows (Danske Bank, London real estate) instead of setting up paper compliance procedures for consumers

- Transparent funding flows (public blockchain)
To be fair, they did include a USB-C charger with the iPhone 11 for one year. But yeah, people on a two-year upgrade (or longer) cadence will likely not have had an Apple USB-C power adapter included with any of their devices.

The first case makes sense to me. These both are perfectly valid but mean different things:

Everyone who is money laundering lies on the AML/KYC forms. The banks know this, the government knows this, the criminals know this. The point of all the AML/KYC stuff isn't to prevent money laundering, but to replace a difficult-to-prosecute crime (money laundering) with an easy-to-prosecute crime (lying on bank forms).

It's creating a paper trail for the prosecution when the feds decide they want to take someone down.

It's not money laundering per se that the feds have an interest in prosecuting. They have an interest in prosecuting sanctions evasion, tax evasion, black mail, drug smuggling, etc. It's the source of dirty money that they want to stop, not the dirty money itself.

What happens is they think someone is smuggling drugs. They see they have money, the money looks suspicious, they get a warrant from the bank, they give them all their AML/KYC forms, and the feds go and track down the real source, and find out that the forms were full of lies and now they can get the drug dealer on bank fraud charges -- which means they don't need to connect them to drugs or murders or anything else, even if that's the real reason they're interested in them.

AML/KYC stuff only prevents crime in that it forces criminals to commit other, easier to prosecute crimes to cover up their original crimes.
That is really, really cool! I'm not but I look forwards to hearing more about it in the future. Really curious about how you move the brush. Pointillism? Filling polygonal regions with lines? Some sort of interesting "imitate real brushwork" algorithm?

Do you do color change by swishing the brush in water? Ooo, does it mix colors? Because that'd be super fun if probably impractical.

This is explained in the OP article linked here...

Although I guess not everyone actually reads the articles so reiterating in the comments is useful.

> Still, why can’t a third-party seller offer a lower price outside of Amazon? Good question! That’s where the scheme gets very clever. Originally, Amazon imposed contracts, as the FTC noted, “barring all sellers from offering their goods for lower prices anywhere else.” But Europeans, and Senator Richard Blumenthal, complained about these price parity agreements, so Amazon dropped its explicit contractual requirements in 2019.

> However, this change was a farce. The firm simply did through code what it couldn’t do through contract. "Amazon,” claims the FTC, “has implemented an algorithm for the express purpose of deterring other online stores from offering lower prices.

> Today, Amazon tells sellers that if it detects a lower price for their products on any other online store, they will be punished, which is to say, their ability to get their products onto a place on the Amazon website where customers click will go away. The net effect, as Amazon itself wrote, is that "prices will go up."
They have beef with ES since they took the software, made a bunch of cash on it, then never contributed back. ES called them out and it started a feud.

I'd go on ES over Amazon-built software any day. I worked on RDS and I've used RDS at several companies, it's a mess.

Longer story:
One day one of our table went missing on Aurora, we couldn't figure out why, it was in the schema, etc. Devops panicked and restarted the instance, and then another table was missing. We ended up creating 10 empty tables and restarted it until it hit one of those.

We contacted RDS support after that, and the conclusion of their 3 month investigation is: "Yeah, it's not supposed to do that."

There's some really smart people working at Amazon, unfortunately the incentives is to push new stuff out and get promoted ASAP. If you can do that better than others and before your house of cards falls, you're safe. If the house of card crumbles after you're gone, it's their problem.

Sure, but said calipers are quote often the same the maonABS brakes use. Hence interdependecies between parking brake and normal brake systems. This dependency cannot be ignored by engineers, and if the choosen trade-off is, for reason ranging from cost over weight to reliability and beyond, an electronic parking brake, well, them that is what it is. And there seems to be something to it, as almost all new passanger cars have those today.
It feels more and more like we need to rethink what scoring schoolwork means.

Worksheets and exams can show how familiar you are with the material, or they can be gamed or useless in some other way. But the best they can ever do is show familiarity.

What I really want as a consumer of someone's grade or academic history is how well they WORK in the subject area, along with how well they work with other people, not just a score that may correlate with regurgitation of facts.

I feel cheated by my school years, because I was led to believe that regurgitation of facts is very important. I also feel like this previous comment will be very emotional for some people.

Comparing this to the regular Pixel 8 it doesn't look like you get an awful lot more for your extra £300, I'm surprised there's such a delta.

Bigger screen (which for many is a minus not a plus), an extra 4GB RAM (still seems absurd to me that we need this much RAM on a phone) and more capable/additional auxiliary cameras.

I suppose the charitable take is that £700 feels like a pretty good deal for the non-Pro one.

To what degree is this a "tech economy" problem vs a "business" problem? Perhaps the businesses use tech, but then most do. A cable internet/TV company like Comcast is more purely tech.

Completely disagree. Let's re-use the example in the article. You need to travel 300 miles. Which one is better? Live in the mid-1700 and work 8 hours a day for 12.5 days, or live in today and work 8 hours a day for 1.25 days?

BatchRendererGroup sample: Achieve high frame rate even on budget devices
USB Power Delivery has been pretty stable; even my oldest charger, bought in 2017, is capable of fast charging the latest iPhone and Android devices – except for those exclusively using some proprietary "fast charge" crap (which is strongly discouraged by the USB-C specification).
The 3310 has a literal IP rating of 00.

Compared to a modern iPhone you can throw in a pool and dig out safely a few minutes later.

Batteries post 2007 have gotten REALLY good, the capacity/weight ratio has gone up so much that swapping batteries mid-day isn't a thing people do. Drones weren't a big thing in those times because you couldn't get enough power to lift one up. Now a 249 gram DJI drone can fly ~45 minutes on a single battery that's about the size of 2-3 matchboxes.

I still remember the laptop I had around that time that had two batteries so that I could swap one and still keep it running with the other.

On the other hand my current M2 MacBook lasts for two full workdays without charging easily, even more if I just sit in meetings and don't do anything CPU/GPU intensive.
But I don't want to choose. I'd like there to be only one option.
Let's say you have more fine-grained capacity in a given metro than Cloudflare has in an attempt to provide additional value in that metro than Cloudflare can offer. You are blocked from doing so if endusers are using Cloudflare DNS.

I don't know if this is happening at the moment, but it's pretty clear that there is no real incentive to even attempt this given that you simply will not be able to offer any benefits because you don't have the data.

I strangely feel these totally contradictory pieces of advice are somehow both true.

Though “easier” might not mean the in-the-moment-act (of exercise) but rather the ability to start an action and follow through with it. That consistency makes it easier, but consistency is also hard.

In the show though I think it’s more a metaphor for getting clean and putting your life back together.
