I normally like Google blog announcements, as they are usually heavy on technical details. But not this one. Quoting, the meat of it is:

> Fine-grained hardware-assisted round-trip time (RTT) measurements with flexible, per-flow hardware-enforced traffic shaping, and fast and accurate packet retransmissions, are combined with multipath-capable and PSP-encrypted Falcon connections ... flexible ordering semantics and graceful error handling ... hardware and software are co-designed to work together to help achieve the desired attributes of high message rate, low latency, and high bandwidth

So like QUIC, but designed for low latency. Maybe. There is no indication of how they achieve it if it is, nor is there a link to further details. The bulk of the article is literally name dropping. Protocol names, FAANG company names, standards organisation names. It reads like C-suite bait. "Come join us boys - all the big guys already have. So it's a sure winner."
Darn this is neat - thanks to the developer !!!!.
Ah, that is interesting, thank you.

It's simple; the web becomes a much nicer place when you block javascript by default. Some things don't work, but they never compromise you, or bog down your computer, and throw huge ads and banners in your face. I could go on. I obviously see that JS can be used for good things, but it seems like people can't constrain themselves to that.

It's possible to recognise them without giving them a special place in the constitution, thereby enshrining race in the constitution (the opposite of the concept of justice being blind to race).
I lived on a boat with a 1972 Atomic 4. I had to set the points and jet the carb every so often. I truly enjoyed working on that thing. My car needed a freaking mechanic with a computer. It was nice to hear it start chugging incorrectly, pop the cover off, measure a few things, then start it back up. No technology required, just well timed explosions.

Similarly:

> Lastly, I = AC means that we can’t tell the difference between doing nothing at all, compared to adding an egg and adding nuts on top.

But test 0 and test 2 are doing nothing and adding an egg & nuts respectively. What are we missing here?

On further reading, it seems like "doing all three options" should be interpreted to mean "the interaction of all three options"? So we aren't able to tell if an improvement of taste comes from B alone or from the interaction of A, B, and C. I'm mostly guessing though.

Once i worked for a company which had to lay off some people due to reorganisations. Management told and wrote to us that these people would be chosen based upon their performance only.

It was quite the weird coincedence that people who had an excellent performance, but refused to renegotiate their old contracts in an earlier stage, were all laid off.
No one is "already using Shor's algorithm". Wikipedia lists the largest numbers factored using Shor's algorithm on a real quantum computer as follows:

- The number 15 (5*3) was factored in 2001

- The number 21 (7*3) was factored in 2012

- An attempt to factor 35 (5*7) was made in 2019 but they didn't succeed because of accumulation of errors in the quantum computer.

Quantum computers today are very bad, so changing the algorithm probably won't change much.

Ex-pat Australian who didn’t/was not allowed to vote in the referendum:

Watching this play out, was reminded of the Australian Republic Referendum from a while ago now. The feeling I had then was that the population was broadly in favor of Australia becoming a republic, but differed on the structure of that republic (popularly elected President, President appointed by parliament etc). In the end, the question put to the people was about a specific type of republic and the people said no. The rejection of that referendum was used to demonstrate that Australians didn’t really want a republic when, in my opinion, they just didn’t want the one served up in the question.

This time around the no vote is being used to suggest that Australians don’t want reconciliation or recognition of Indigenous people in the Constitution. I don’t buy that, either. I feel like there was a rejection of the specific idea of the Voice, but not a rejection of reconciliation.

I’ve been away from the country for a long time but it seems to me that if a plebiscite question was something like, ‘Do you favor an Australian republic?’ or ‘Do you favor recognising Indigenous Australians in the Constitution?’, you’d probably pass both easily. The details - and it’s always the details that trip you up, I know - could then be hashed out afterwards with the new baseline being ‘We are going to be a republic so let’s figure out what sort of republic will get broad support’ or ‘We are going to recognize Indigenous Australians in the Constitution so let’s figure out how to do that in a way that’ll get broad support’.

They are recognised and acknowledged to the point that it becomes tiring hearing about it all the time. The referendum was whether there should be a constitutional change, and the country decided overwhelmingly that there should not be. Several prominent indigenous Australians voted no. There's really nothing to see here.
You can not truly call the practice of killing most indigenous people then saying “Now we vote!” a democracy process.

Most of the Australian politicians pushing for this don't give a crap about Aboriginals, they just wanted a way to further weaken the already weak Australian constitution by adding a section that special interest groups could take advantage of.
The hardware limitations are what makes the demos what they are. If it were not for them, we'd all make pre-rendered animations.

> In the US federal law does not allow that

If I understand correctly, this isn't true. There are laws that make this effectively true, but that's not quite the same thing.

For example, secondary boycotts are banned. This limits the rights of workers and unions to freely associate and mobilize for their interests. That little doozy was rationalized by the excuse of protecting the economy (read: the status quo).

Ianal, and idk if this is a distinction without a difference; but it seems worth pointing out.
> forces companies to make it possible to contact humans within a specific time frame.

Some EU countries do require this and it works a charm. However it doesnt seem to affect meta. That company, along with google and amazon and any other company that only relies on ai for customer support should fined into bankruptcy.
Honestly I feel like it would be a reasonable decision to have the government step in and give us a website to request unbanning accounts.

Privacy for everyone includes privacy for people you don't like. Having literally everyone know about ways to have secure and private communications would actually be a good thing.

Do the bad guys use these technologies? Yes, but so what? It's like saying that we shouldn't educate people about knives because some guy can use it to kill people.

This whole fear of educating people about privacy tools because some criminals will use it is so tired and irrational. Criminals do it already and have done it for a long time. It's inevitable that more people will use them in the future, including the "bad guys". How about we just accelerate it and instead think of why people commit crimes in the first place? Nah, too hard, let's try to ban math instead.

In theory the GDPR means you should be able to request all your data as well as opt out of automated decision making (which would address the "why was I flagged?" and "stop being stupid this is clearly not a snake") side of things.

Of course, that's only in Europe and it's not a very easy law to avail of, sadly.
> Where I live in the US, the only grocery store near me has four self-checkout machines and only one other cashier on duty.

I'm not sure why that is, but it isn't the fault of the self-checkout machines. They are smaller than normal checkouts, and they could have 20 of them and still need only one cashier on duty.

Where I live, when they replace normal checkouts with their conveyor belts, lolly stands and backing areas, they typically get 2 self service ones per normal one replaced.

>giving them a special place in the constitution

I would like to put emphasis on "special" here because specifically mentioning the "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people" and giving them special treatment is, by its nature, racist. It's positive racism, yes, but racism is still racism.

While I support their endeavours for further and stronger recognition (presumably since it's not equal to the rest), they can't declare how they want to fight racism when they are asking for special treatment based on their race and heritage. Hypocrisy is a great way to kill a message, no matter how good its spirit actually is.

> The more interesting question is why tab users haven't noticed that we use mandatory auto-code-formatting these days, to make sure all your tabs are belong to us.

I'm guessing they're using an equivalent of `M-x tabify` running automatically after opening a file.

Excerpt from documentation on `tabify` in Emacs:

Convert multiple spaces in region to tabs when possible.
A group of spaces is partially replaced by tabs
when this can be done without changing the column they end at.
If called interactively with prefix ARG, convert for the entire
buffer.

Personally, I'm a "space user", and I only have `delete-trailing-whitespace` run on save (`before-save-hook`); at work, we have a pre-commit hook that untabifies committed changes (and then another to run language-specific autoformatter).

What I find most frustrating about this is that they straight up lie to you. They don't actually review your account and the ban isn't permanent. The minute people in this situation get through to a human (one with any autonomy, anyway) the ban gets reversed. So it's all about the cost and efficiency and convenience for Facebook/Meta.

I definitely think there need to be laws made about this. Because it's really clear that the market has no power to correct this behaviour - yet it can be utterly devastating to individuals when they have life long bans put in place on what are (whether you like it or not) pretty much essential online services.

Well yes, obviously - it's the same here. I just read what OP said as a requirement that you have to extend your mortgage by another 30 years. Here you just get a now mortgage of any length you want - if you fancy 9 years or 12 or 38 that's fine.
> but OP is jumping to conclusions on pretty thin evidence.

But that's all he has, given the brick wall nature of the way Meta (and Google) work in this respect. You broke the rules, we'll point to a vague document about it but not give you any details.

I had a similar thing (with far less consequences) recently, getting a new Mobile Phone contract in the UK. Failed the credit check three times. No reason for it - I've got a good credit history, own my own home, and have a reasonable bank balance (certainly enough to pay for the contract 20x over on hand, plus other savings). And the response was "You have failed the credit check. We can't tell you why because of sensitive business operations. If you attempt too many times, this may alter your credit score".

Phoned them, got an account without issue in about 5 minutes.

When you get a new job, you fill out some forms that tells the government how much money to withhold from your paycheck based on your expected earnings, deductions, etc.

Later, at the end of the year, you file your return of what you actually made, what your actual deductions were, etc. And then the government will either pay you if you paid too much or they will ask you to pay if you did not pay enough.

I have been very interested in this. Sadly, finding hardware that supports it (both HW and SW) seems quite hard at the moment. This stackoverflow answer mentions a few, but I have no idea about software support: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54214808/3795597

I tried poking around the Linux drivers and userspace tools (which required reading some source code, the documentation is pretty bad), I summed up some of my finding there: https://superuser.com/a/1786039

So far, I only encountered two phone series that supported NAN: POCO and Google Pixel. So much for interoperability.

you can just pay off the loan faster

In the US mortgage market, this is called curtailment. For example, if you make one extra payment per year, you will shorten a 30 year fixed rate mortgage by about 4.5 years. Also, for most US mortgages, you are allowed to prepay 100% with no penalty. This allows for refinancing.

What I do not understand: Why don't more countries do this? Have large gov't financing companies that guarantee certain fixed rate mortgages? Overall, it is a huge win for the middle class home owner in the US.

Ugh. I've been saying for years that the EU Commission's approach would eventually lead to stuff like this but nobody was willing to listen. The assumption EU bureaucrats and "EU citizens" make is that there are no limits to the punishment beatings executives will take to avoid bans in large geographical areas. This isn't actually true and has never been true, but for some reason a lot of people are in denial about it. The stream of tech firms giving up on China should have been a wakeup call, the way new products like Bard and Threads launched with EU blocks in place from day one should have been another.

The EU is barrelling head first towards being a tech backwater. Unlike China it probably isn't going to implement internet censorship muscular enough to stimulate a set of competent home grown competitors; the Commission always likes to make other people do its dirty work so they'll expect the products themselves to do blocks but the incentives to make those blocks stick aren't really there beyond tickbox compliance. People stuck in member states will just use VPNs or other workarounds, and nobody will pony up the sums needed to build genuine competitors. In turn this means that the EU won't develop home grown replacements to unavailable services or any of the other products people already use, because it's just far too risky to invest the huge sums required when at any moment the Commission might arbitrarily change its mind (something it does regularly) or your target market just gets used to convoluted workarounds.

IMPORTANT: To all US tech firm employees reading this. Please remember that not everywhere in Europe is in the EU. The UK, Switzerland, Norway, Ukraine, Serbia, Iceland, Lichtenstein and a whole host of smaller countries are not. Over-blocking is already a big problem for people living in these countries due to things like the GDPR.
