Large transformers are built to a very specific custom specification. Each one is a custom engineered unit. A transformer is basically a sealed vessel full of volatile oil that you pass an extremely large voltage and current through. The machine has to be perfect. The smallest clearance issue, insulation problem, etc and you have a bomb. And that's just making it safe. We haven't even talked about making it effective.

Transformers are the sort of think that are not rocket science to build, but every single detail is very very important. It requires a team of people to design, construct, and validate and all these people need to have the skills from doing it many times before. These people and facilities simply don't exist in large enough numbers because they are very expensive.

There are also supply chain issues to consider - the steel used in transformer magnetic circuits for example is a very specific metallurgy and construction. During COVID it was quite difficult to find. Poor steel means poor efficiency which at the scale of these machines can mean millions of wasted mwh of power over time.
The Tech Industry Has a New Plan to Stop Proliferation of Right to Repair Laws
An Israeli munition would have left a crater.
I am still very confused as to why Ford decided to brand this very-much-not-a-Mustang as a Mustang. They should have resurrected an old model like the Torino or Elite before sullying the Mustang's good name like this.

Geoff Manaugh, author of this blog, has a fun book called "A Burglar's Guide to the City", discussing how city layouts influence the types of crimes committed there.

One example that I remember talks about the differences between Los Angeles and New York City: at one point in the 1990s, LA was the bank robbery capital of the world, averaging over 1 per day for a while, but bank robberies rarely happen in NYC. When you compare their layouts, it makes total sense: LA was built around the car. The pattern of "highway offramp, bank next to the road, highway onramp" was everywhere throughout LA. Robbing a bank in NYC would be just so much harder: parking is more difficult, traffic is slower, way more people around to identify you, etc.

It's a good read.

In this day and age, why would someone like Jon Stewart need Apple anyway? He could just do exactly the same thing on his own. Granted you need money to pay for his staff and the platform, but it's probably within it's reach anyway.
> still not sure what to believe on that story

Do this. A lesson from air crash investigations: wait a week. Until then, discount everything.

> story would look the same no matter who did it

This is not true. Too many countries with disparate motivations had eyes on the area. We haven’t had time for intelligence to be scrubbed for public release. Again, give it a week. In the meantime, observe the meta story; who concludes what with high confidence.
>I don't think a day or two off is going to take someone from the verge of a mental breakdown, to 100% mentally healthy.

Fuck this attitude. I've avoided burnout by taking short-notice leave, a day at a time. I have used it to get clothes ready for the next work day, cleanup house, take care of my dog, play video games, or pursue hobbies. It keeps my mental health at a reasonable level. Maybe not 100% but you can't really put a percent on physical health either. And it's easier to take one day to recover(going from e.g. 20% to 80%) than to need months of recovery when you do get totally burned out.
Breaking news: People like different things about different products.
It could also just be fun for the other commentor, the feeling of getting pushed into your seat, roar of the ICE, etc. They could do it on a track or some rural road where it wouldn't bother anybody, though of course it's unsafe to go ripping around on public roads.
I just find this all so pointless.

News organisations can't be expected to verify every claim. And so all they can do is report the claims of what should be trusted sources i.e. governments, NGOs etc. And to be fair every country spins the truth so it's not like this incident is without precedent.

So you get to choose. Either you have breaking news or you don't. But you can't ask for breaking news and have them verify each claim. It's just not possible.
Not everybody wants to pirate their content. Some of us even make their living from copyrighted material.
Fair point, lol; for now I'm imagining it's magnets. The other thing they could do is pneumatic pipes. There's the Space Exploration mod, it had special space belts, but they were still just belts.
My guess is this will be 90% marketing and tie ins, and 10% product, and that there ia no ‘OS’. Just a wrapper for
an Android platform.
Yeah, that's not the problem here. Stewart can get good distribution on his show elsewhere, especially if he doesn't need to make millions.

It's a problem for Apple TV+ if anyone. Apple will use their earnings from their hardware business to ensure they continue to mint money in that business. Apple's streaming service has plans to be a standalone revenue stream, but so far it's only there to burnish Apple's hardware business, and it's not allowed to undercut that.
Yes, I'd love to do that. There is in fact already an app that does this on macOs (https://github.com/johnste/finicky). And you can chain them so that finicky runs first and then calls a chooser UI "browser" as a fallback. But I would like to incorporate it into my app so that I don't have to run two apps (and so that I can make it work cross-platform).
It was a different animal altogether. But some of the finest interviewing Jon’s done.
Regarding the store, mostly because it is the only way to reduce malware attacks from non-technical users, although this is debatable in Windows, as Win32 store apps have anyway full priviledges unlike UWP ones.

At least for the time being, as the UWP sandbox model is in the process of being extended to Win32, in upcoming Windows 11 versions, and there is already some support on Windows 11 latest.

The other factor is basically money, Windows is no longer a profit center, Azure and XBox have replaced it alongside Office, thus the store is the only way to still make some money out of Windows in a world where everyone doesn't want to pay for Windows updates.
https://www.freecodecamp.org/ has been pretty effective for some of my adult friends. Might be worth a try for kids too
I imagine the issue is less that it is a “developing story” and more about the speed at which certain stories/headlines are published and how they are framed.

In this case one has to ask whether there would have been a NYT subscriber news alert had the first reports been that it was an errant Hamas rocket.
I expect people not to be pieces of shit.
Understood. You want to escape curly braces and let the last expression be the returned one. F# does implicitly return the last expression.

I tried Space Exploration and honestly it became rather tedious; it looks like this is a lot more ergonomic. I'm itching to play Factorio again but I know if I pick it up now I won't want to play when this expansion is released.
Having to tell your employer what your sickness is in order to get sick leave approved (or not) is ridiculous at the outset. This is the exact kind of thing people are lobbying against. My employer should not have that much reach into my work/life balance. You give me PTO with minor stipulations and leave it at that.

My desire to maliciously comply with your company's policy would have me stating things like, "I have this red, oozing puss on my ass cheeks and would like a day off," or, "My balls are really itchy and red and it's spread to my fingers."
I really wish there was another way to scroll.

A lot of scroll wheels are, if you can believe it, not made for scrolling dozens of pages worth at a time and some even make noise while doing it!
> So, debit and credits.

Debits and credits can be seen as a type of resource flow in REA, but not all resource flows are debits and credits. A debit-credit architecture does not require linking resource flows with their duals, and those that do are likely a limited type of REA system. This loses important information.

Assessing value need not be any different in most cases. The point behind REA is not to change established methods of evaluating such questions for domain experts, but to show how traditional accounting abstractions are not core information abstractions and so shouldn't be modelled directly in computers, but should be derived views of a more general architecture.
It's called a flattened AST.
Here's a modest proposal. If you do significant business in the PRC or have assets there, that's fine, but you cannot simultaneously own a media or social media business in the US. I think (very uncertain) this solves the root cause of these problems, the foreign leverage; and it doesn't infringe on constitutional speech rights.

E.g., Apple TV would be compelled to be spun off as independent entity, with no ties to the phone manufacturer. And Elon Musk would be compelled to either sell Twitter/X, or pull Tesla manufacturing out of mainland China. &c.
>I’ll probably cancel here in a few days and maybe in the future just subscribe for a month and binge some shows after they’re out.

I've heard a lot of people suggesting this and I've done it myself a couple of times. I wonder if the streamers will catch on and require a 12 month minimum subscription.

The Mercedes EVs are beautiful and really do a good job of representing the brand.

I did not SEE a Mustang in person until I moved to the U.S. The sound of the powerful engine was like a rocket ship to me. I do not wish to disturb anyone with a loud engine.
The simplest metaphysical thing to be amazed at is that we are all conscious and ascribe theory of mind. Be amazed. Also we are all connected evolutionarily as well and we evolved with other organisms so the whole planet is basically connected. That we have paleolific components of our brain and we can use meditation to calm them. All great stuff that doesn’t require the psychedelic. Also recognize that We are social animals so human connection is vitally important. I can regulate your behavior via mirror neurons.

Religion is community at its heart.. but maybe we need an abstract idea of god to foster that community.
I wonder if we are currently not monitoring something similar that we should be.
Or staying in Q, encode your program as an integer N, take 1/N and mark that fraction on a stick of unit length.

Use the stick as long term storage for your code.
How do you scroll right?
> It could also just be fun for the other commentor, the feeling of getting pushed into your seat, roar of the ICE

It could be the roar, but EVs are much better at giving you the feeling of being pushed into your seat than ICE cars.
Somehow expecting someone to see a doctor and supply documentation of the result to be allowed to take off a day for a present illness seems somewhere between draconian and impractical.

How about something simple, like providing a fixed number of personal days off or making them unpaid leave instead of trying to administer an insurance system susceptible to exploitation? As a contractor I find the idea that someone should pay for my days off - for whatever the reason - to be more than a little bizarre.
They only give the illusion of providing a better development experience if you forgo dealing with errors.

Indeed, there is a class of programming, known as scripting, where errors actually don't matter. If something bad happens you simply fail, deal with the problem through human intervention, and try again later. It is not unreasonable to carry errors up the stack using exception handlers in this type of problem domain. Arguably communicating an error state this way is the best solution we know of to that problem.

However, there is another class of programming, known as systems, where error handling is the most important code you will write. This is the domain where exception handlers are just plain not suited to the problem. The idiomatic Go solution is not pleasant, but a huge improvement over dealing with catching exceptions everywhere.

As before, because catching exceptions is so painful, many applications that probably should be systems are pushed into being scripts. Which may very well be a good engineering solution to the problem of dealing with a quirky language, but idealistically a programming language will not shape your application requirements like that.

But, yes, Go is not at all designed to be a scripting language. It has been quite explicit about that since day one.
A lot of people don't know how to use these ingredients. For offal, I would need a lot of videos showing me how to make really delicious things with some of the parts before I would even bother trying. Also, whenever I see organs at ethnic markets, they're whole organs, and I don't really have much butchering experience since everything I normally buy is already precut into appropriate sizes (eg single chicken breast/thigh/leg, steak of appropriate thickness).
No, I completely disagree. You need to design accessibility in from the start, it's almost impossible to retrofit. Very few systems manage to add high-quality accessibility later on.
just a heads up on the privacy aspect: other than possible cross-site 0-days, tracking usually occurs with your browser fingerprint which by default doesnt change w/ Containers (its extremely hard to properly and accurately change it anyways, there are leaks even in the network layer) so it doesnt have too much of an effect except for unsophisticated ad networks/analytics
That's a really good point. When I click on a page and see the top post is from 2021, my first instinct is to assume that they no longer post there.
It would be interesting to hear the real story here. These cars tend to have artificial power restrictions for reliability.

It is possible that they did test it, but there were late software changes to reduce the power restrictions for marketing reasons. And maybe things weren't retested as much as they should be?

It could be as simple as them doing the engineering analysis, finding the potential problem, and then being overridden because someone thought it wouldn't happen in the real world.
If the device is nonfunctional, and has encryption enabled (e.g. Bitlocker or FileVault) you MUST give them your password if you want it repaired and cannot afford to lose data. That is the COMMON CASE. A lot of shops/businesses aren't going to agree to a "stand over my shoulder while I work" clause least of all because your repair goes into a backlog until they can get to it.

> backup your data somewhere else, and wipe the device clean before handing it in.

Well over half the devices going in for repair cannot do that, that's why they're going in for repair.

> safe to assume that people who take their laptops to service shops know _nothing_ about security

Safe to assume that the people being judgmental online know nothing about the technical expertise of the average device owner.

I'd never take a device into somewhere with personal/sensitive information on it, but I recognize I am in an extremely privileged position in having the knowledge and expertise to do so. Even a fully broken screen wouldn't stop me from backing up/wiping. That isn't typical at all.
It's like the observer effect.

"Strawman. Nobody ever claimed that the only carbon or water is found on earth."

My point, you found it. Congratulations.

It is not often talked about in the ever-popular "logical fallacies" articles online, but you do need to do slightly more work than just seeing a fallacy and immediately trying to score points with an accusation. There mere presence of a fallacy does not quite mean an error is being made.

You might also want to try to finish reading the content before reflexively jumping up and yelling FALLACY, as you clearly did not.
This is the thing I'm finding frustrating. I don't care what "team" people think they're on. The reality on the ground is for regular people there are no teams and it's just tragedy.

But I'm seeing a lot of vociferous blow-back on the Gaza hospital thing -- maybe rightfully so -- but so much less on the other "side." When concerns were brought up about the beheading things, and other claims of veracity it was treated as callous quibbling.

This is not whataboutism: The fundamental reality is it doesn't in the grand scheme of things matter who caused the casualties in the specific instance in the hospital. What matters is that a cessation of conflict is not being considered, and that civilians are being murdered by political actors as a result.

Any ethical grown-up in charge would be working to de-escalate.
Tim Apple doesn't rock the boat. He's a lot of things, but an expert bean counter the most.

I’m not sure what your second comment means exactly, can you elaborate?
Other than the ties to the phone manufacturer - where Apple can use its profits to subsidize the creation of prestige media during the initial creation of its streaming service - would Apple TV exist?

This looks really intriguing, although I don't think I could justify spending $350. I assume the cost is primarily due to the relatively high resolution e-ink displays that are probably necessary to represent characters at the necessary scale.

Was pretty clearly obvious his heart wasn't in anything last season. Not to mention that trying to do a topical show in a pre-recorded season format is absolutely insane. He would be covering things the news cycle had moved on from months ago, and not like it was some kind of well thought out in depth analysis either; just the same old gotcha type stuff. I'm glad they stopped the bleeding on this one, it was honestly hard to watch (and I blame Apple entirely for that). Here's hoping he finds a home at HBO with Oliver.
Wow. 35,000 recalls. Each recall is estimated to take ~25 hours -- requires dropping battery and accessing the relay inside. Even if a service department can streamline this, this could be a very, very costly issue.

I wonder if the "fix" will be to sharply reduce maximum power draw and reduce charge rates, instead of replacing the under-spec'd part. That would make for a lot of unhappy customers, but they likely wouldn't have a lot of recourse.

> Another concern is just how swamped Ford's techs might be with replacing the HVBJBs in nearly 35,000 cars. The part itself is located inside of the sealed battery pack, meaning that in order to replace just the part, the 1,300-pound battery pack must be dropped from the car and opened on order to access the HVBJB. According to another user on Mach-E Forums, a high voltage battery swap takes approximately 25 hours on a warranty replacement.
As system admins we have access to everything. Passwords are a programming construct.
Nope. That right there is a solution in search of a problem.
Yeah, I do wonder as well, how come Trump can't hire better lawyers? Wait, I'm getting a weird brain wave. Could it be because any lawyer representing Trump will get targetted, disbarred and destroyed? No, that can't be it, it must be something else.

Also, what Man? I have no idea who that guy is, it's enough that he's a Trump hater, you don't need any conspiracy, jsut the one guy who doesn't like Trump. You don't like Trump, so you went and google for whatever link you could paste here as "proof" and that was it, that was your process. Youtube-lawyer-guy's process doesn't necessarily need to be much better than that.

Plus I asked you how can you tell the difference between "actual crime" and a political witch hunt. You haven't answered. Do you think Navalny's lawyers won't be found guilty with all the trimmings in a court of law? Do tell me how would you explain the difference to the proverbial just-landed-alien.

He's not wrong, but there seems to be an issue of the Gell-Mann amnesia going on here. The mass media has consistently been terrible about reporting unverified claims, and this is nothing new. And numerous cases were even worse than the Gaza attack, with no effort to correct things or verify what happened at all.

Here's just one example off the top of my head. When the last Democratic primary began, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders held a meeting. The New York Times reported on it, and said that it was cordial[1]. A year later during the heat of the primary, Warren's poll numbers started dropping and Sanders' started rising, and her campaign suddenly claimed that Sanders' had said during the meeting that a woman couldn't be president. The New York Times was happy to report her claims[2], and didn't even mention that their reporting of the meeting when it happened showed no evidence of this.

There are plenty of other examples where the New York Times and other members of the media have either made an article about unverified accusations, or made fairly misleading reporting that would lead readers astray.
