To be clear, based on what I've read: "no end-to-end encryption" simply means that Apple is not going to either a) develop their own, proprietary E2EE system for RCS, or b) pay Google for theirs.

And good grief, get over the bubble color thing. Of course RCS isn't going to have blue bubbles; those specifically indicate an iMessage message. Maybe they'll be green, or maybe they'll be purple, orange, or red, to differentiate them from SMS. That's all the different colors are for: a useful indication of what messaging system that user is currently using.

If Apple didn't color the bubbles differently, you'd see people moaning and complaining that there's no way to tell who you can and can't make a group chat with, or whether you can send them stickers and reactions.
The author didn't say it, but I'm pretty sure for-loop was meant to be pseudocode to help the reader understand what it does and not the actual implementation.
Weird, I've never had the experience of a physical store being cheaper. I usually take note of stuff from stores I want and then buy them on Amazon.

Now Aliexpress, that's where you can get it for half the price.
If you're a Linux user, "KDE Connect" is actually by far the best desktop interface for texting and more. It's changed how my phone and my laptop interact and I think might be my favorite open source project. You can use your laptop as a keyboard, reply to messages from any app that sends a notification, and so much more. The file sending functionality is also far better (and faster) than anything else I've used. It's everything open source software should be.
So that they can seamlessly upsell you on upgrading to a new phone that you'll pay off in installments over the next couple years.

Also, many postpaid plans (like my home ISP) require SSN because they are providing you service on credit. Postpaid cell paone plans have been the "default" in the US for a long time, though prepaid seems to be gaining market share.

I couldn't find independent use of the term "Frutiger Aero" outside of this article when it first blew up, so I guess this coined it. Why "Fruitger" Aero. This basically smacks of being a forced meme by underageb& zoomers. But that's only half the reason this hits me as being frivolous and tiresome, I also echo the other comment here that's beginning to find "hyper-specific genre-mania" boring now.

>The issue isn't "online buying."

The issue (for many) is things like negotiating, financing, trade-ins, and car availability.

Aside from the availability thing (especially the past couple of years), you can largely make the rest go away by no-haggle cash on the barrel and deal with your own trade-in. But most buyers don't actually want that.

When I bought a car the summer before last, it took a while to get the car delivered (and the dealer wasn't exactly candid that "in transit" actually meant "not actually built yet"). But I was paying cash and they actually offered a ridiculously good trade-in and a few upsells were mostly about saying no a bunch of times and ultimately getting the price of "factory options" added to my trade-in. It took a couple hours and a few phone calls while waiting for the car to be delivered, but honestly not a big deal for an expensive, rare purchase.

Being pitched fabric protection or GAP insurance is no big deal. Just opt out and move along. I actually opted into fabric coverage on a lease because my kids were little and BOY was I happy I opted in after they destroyed the back seat with a ruptured bottle of hand lotion.

The process might be onerous but it's far from a "rip off" or some sort of scam. Every car I've bought dating back 20 years had very helpful sales and finance people willing to explain everything. In one case they even disclosed their profit margin in the case of the GAP insurance (6%).
> QNX had this right decades ago. The microkernel has upper bounds on everything it does. There are only a few tens of thousands of lines of microkernel code. All the microkernel does is allocate memory, dispatch the CPU, and pass messages between processes. Everything else, including drivers and loggers, is in user space and can be preempted by higher priority threads.

So much like a well structured main method in a C program or other C like language where main just orchestrates the calling of other functions and such. In this case main might initialize different things where the QNX kernel doesn't but the idea or general concept remains.

I'm no kernel dev but this sounds good to me. Keeps things simple.

I've been thinking about moving in the opposite direction, actually. ADHD meds like lisdexamfetamine/adderall have been moderately helpful.

But I am starting to think that I might do better treating this from an anxiety/depression angle. ADHD is so comingled with anxiety for me that I can't tell them apart. When I'm falling behind on tasks I get anxiety, which is the literal worst thing for my ADHD, so that exacerbates the ADHD, which increases the anxiety.

I'm curious (if you're open to sharing) if you're still treating the anxiety/depression side of things?

My personal experience as someone diagnosed with ADHD is that they definitely make me more effective. My attention gets grabbed and redirected in inefficient ways, and being on the meds allows me to keep my focus fully on a task. But when I'm working on something I find exciting or fun, like a production failure, or a video game, I don't think my meds help me. Sometimes I wonder if my ADHD is even real.

My sister got married and changed her surname. PayPal has inexplicably also changed my surname to my sister’s new surname.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why, or why they would do that without notifying me. At least no good reason. It’s the strangest thing.

I haven’t even fixed it. I just stopped using PayPal because I don’t trust them any more.

I agree 100%. Style is important but it’s the personal identification with defining and policing its microscopic fluctuations that ultimately leads nowhere but back at the snakes head. The older I get and the most first-hand experience I have, the more I realise it’s an obsession of those not burdened with this. The broad strokes are there but it’s ultimately myth making – seeking to squish the square peg of history into the round hole of a neat narrative.

I totally agree. My personal opinion here is:

1. They're stressed and therefor eating less, especially if they're spending the daytimes of the tournament playing games - hardly conducive to appetite, and in fact I expect many will avoid food purposefully to try to not get that sleepy-full feeling.

2. To a much lesser degree, increased stress == increased heartrate == increased BMR.

3. Maybe, and I hate to speculate because of the stigma (personally I don't care if chess players are doing drugs), some amphetamine use, or at least caffeine, all of which can suppress appetate further.

I personally very much doubt that it's the thinking hard that's actually burning calories.

I have been hearing about small scale nuclear since I was a kid. Still waiting for someone to successfully build one.

Also, this proposal is challenging due to issues with nuclear proliferation. Nuclear plants will need guards.
I'm for more nuclear (a decent amount is generated in the UK), but I think your statement:

"So we need something to replace coal, which provides the grid’s base load. That thing can basically only be nuclear at this point."

doesn't take into the impact storage (both stationary and in the form of EVs) will have in the future.

The last time I checked was in 2021 when they launched the feature, and it was only for 1:1 chats. Google might have extended e2ee to group chats (I would hope so).

Pretty sure everyone would still have to use Google Messages.
Regulations are written in blood. Remember Chesterton's fence. If you cannot articulate the reason for why dealerships exist, you are not equipped to argue for their deregulation.

The current model increases safety. People have bought dangerous devices on Amazon before. And people have used these dangerous devices irresponsibly. We shouldn't encourage their proliferation.
I doubt they'll give the messages the same background color though.
I think, equally as important as investment, is reducing third-party obstructionism. Environmental justice and anti-nuclear activists Continue to thwart these kind of projects with frivolous lawsuits.
>But at this point, you are right - Ohio can safely be written off, like Florida.

You can't truly interoperate with products that don't support all the features in the "originating" product.

For example, iMessages long had full-resolution media support, encryption for multi-party messaging, and with addressing not tied to a phone number, which many other messaging products did not.

As a user, I absolutely do not want a government forcing the vendor of the product that I have purchased to enshittify it by removing or breaking good features.

And, if that government does force some sort of limited "interoperability" that causes a downgraded experience (e.g., no encryption, reduced quality media), then the "originating" app should absolutely indicate those issues and concerns to its users. I'm sure that there are lots of governments that would love to break Messages' encryption without Apple being able to tell users about it. And there we are with the difference between Blue Bubbles and Green Bubbles.

If people want to use WhatsApp or SMS or WeChat or one of 15 different Google messaging products, they should do that. But don't f-up a product that works great for those who choose to use it.
Depending on your usage it can be prohibitively expensive to use datadog for everything like that. We have it for just our prod env because it's just not worth what it brings to the table to put all of our logs into it.
Yeah I feel like I sleep great at night w/ modafinil.

To be clear: I can't sleep well at all for about 8-12 hours following a dose. It has killed my ability to take a lunchtime nap.

But as long as I don't take it after noon, I get great sleep at night. I fall right to sleep in minutes. Plenty of dreams as well, which suggests to me I'm getting in some good REM sleep.

> You can divide realtime applications into safety-critical and non-safety-critical ones.

No. This is a common misconception. The distinction between a hard realtime system and a soft realtime system is simply whether missing a timing deadline leads to a) failure of the system or b) degradation of the system (but the system continues to operate). Safety is not part of it.

Interacting with the real physical world often imposes “hard realtime” constraints (think signal processing). Whether this has safety implications simply depends on the application.
Your division puts audio performance applications in a grey area.

On the one hand they aren't safety critical.

On the other, I can imagine someone getting chewed out or even fired for a pause or a glitch in a professional performance.

Probably the same with live commercial video compositing.
I would love to save a few hundred thousands a year by running Otel collector over Datadog agents, just on the cost-per-host alone. Unfortunately that would also mean giving up Datatog APM and NPM, as far as I can tell, which have been really valuable. Going back to just metrics and traces would feel like quite the step backwards and be a hard sell.
They were paying on-demand ec2 prices and reserved instances alone would save them ~35%, savings plan even more which would apply to egress and storage costs too. Anyway, they're still saving a lot more (~55%), but it's not nearly as egregious of a difference.

Classic example of the 99.9% not being able to lobby enough to beat the 0.1% of scalpers.

Highest priority is to take down the ~5 US medical cartels. After that, I imagine only real estate matches anything that has anti-consumer and pro-business as US medical. Then.... after that, dealerships?
It is interesting how closely the proposals of Gesell are to current US Fed policy of 2% inflation.

The main difference seems to be the current system runs on the Cantillion effect, where those in favoured positions (close to where the money is created) benefit from the inflation, while those farthest away bear the cost. In effect, it is the rich who are able to borrow direct from Central Banks and Government Treasuries get negative effective interest, and are able to parlay that into charging more interest to those farther down the chain, until you hit people paying 20+% on credit cards and payday loans.

But as far as the perishable money, there are currently places like Turkey and Argentina where inflation is far higher than Gesell's proposed 5% inflation. Are those countries flourishing as a result of local inflation? It doesn't seem that way.
Is there a way to hide all of that Rewards, Wallet, and Money bullshit?

>Ticketmaster merged with LiveMaster, a promoter and venue owner/operator.

Yes, but when other promoters (not Live Nation) book artists at non-LN venues and use Tickemaster as the ticketing agent, all the extra convenience fees are still there.

E.g. Taylor Swift's promoter for Eras Tour was AEG, not Live Nation. And in Dallas, she performed at AT&T Stadium which is a venue owned by City of Arlington, not Live Nation. Ticketmaster was only the agent selling tickets for that Dallas show and it still had all the extra TM service fees padding out the price. In that case, Taylor Swift + AEG + AT&T Stadium got their slices of the pie by using Ticketmaster fees as the "bad guy".

Live Nation acquiring Ticketmaster in 2010 doesn't fundamentally change what Ticketmaster is designed to do: take the public relations blame for artists, etc charging the higher prices.
I mean, it could be an ugly, convoluted solution to a problem. Car sales seems fairly broken these days - horror stories abound, not just about dealer markups in general, but time-wasting nonsense like dealers allowing folks to factory-order a car at an agreed-upon price and then changing their mind - demanding a markup at delivery time, or selling the ordered car to someone else who is willing to pay more.

Automakers have been trying to coerce dealers to cut it out with the markups, threatening to allocate fewer vehicles to dealers who play games, but at the end of the day if enough dealerships refuse to comply, automakers are going to do what they have to do to keep moving metal.

Idealists have been clamoring for changing dealership franchise laws en masse and allowing automakers to sell directly, but that seems unlikely in the near term.

So if Amazon becomes a mega-dealer and forms a tight bond with one or more automakers, essentially guaranteeing good behavior (up-front pricing, no deceptive fees, etc), then the automakers can tell the PITA legacy dealerships to take a walk, sell the cars online in a high-quality, nicely branded portal with consistent pricing, and everyone is happy (except for the legacy dealerships).

Cool, so you can hire one additional engineer. Are you sure your bare metal setup will occupy less than a single engineer’s time?
So, they essentially saved the cost of one good engineer. Question is, are they spending 1 man-year of effort to maintain this setup themselves? If not, they made the right choice. Otherwise, it’s not as clear cut.

Are you suggesting that direct-to-consumer sales would somehow result in unlicensed buyers from obtaining motor vehicles? Because it seems a trivial thing to verify that you have a valid drivers license before transferring ownership.
It also appears that you're legally allowed to purchase a vehicle without driver's license already, so this is a moot point: https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/can-you-buy-a-car-without-a-...

As to direct sales somehow uniquely exploiting customers: Have you ever tried to actually buy a card from a dealership?
> So you need a really really stable base load, and one that you can turn up a little and down a little whenever you want: to account for the wildly varying input from wind and solar.

But nuclear isn't very good at quickly and continuously ramping up and down. It wants to run at mostly constant output[1]. This makes it a poor companion to renewables.

[1] Except for the couple of weeks a year when it's down for maintenance, refueling, or its river's water has gotten too hot or there isn't enough of it, then the output is zero. Actually, it's negative because you need to provide it with energy or it self-destroys.
The hydro power is located in the far north(west), meaning that there is a bottle-neck in the hundreds to thousands of km of transport lines needed to bring it to the big cities in the south.

The capacity of these lines is simply not enough to supply the cities in the south with only hydro power base load, which is why Sweden had the four major nuclear power stations built in the south, in the vicinity of major urban areas.

It was a really well thought out system, that has been degrading over the last years for political reasons.
