I use a lot of Apple devices and I’m not picky, so Apple Music works well for me. I highly doubt Apple will get a monopoly since Google is also in this space with YouTube Music, so there’s another option for you.

A lot of the smaller players have dropped out of this space, which might be a hint as to why Spotify is leaning in to the podcasts: maybe it’s hard to be independent here with Amazon, Apple, and Google being willing to not make much money on this as they build their moats.
Not at all. None of the smartest people I have known have worked for a FAANG company. Most of them haven't worked for startups, either.

They tend to work for companies that are on the forefront of whatever flavor of tech they are interested in, so they work for a variety of different kinds of companies.
Is there any trade where people actually use appropriate safety precautions? Our culture seems to be actively anti safety.

It's horrible. Any attempt to protect yourself is met with shame, even if it's something as simple as not wanting to eat a sugary snack someone offers, or wearing earplugs in a dangerously loud bar, or wanting to go get a hand truck instead of lifting a piece of furniture.
They use Google Picker API and I think it utilizes `drive.file` scope to give app rw access to a single (picked) file.
> This did not result in any policy changes.

Right, and why would it? The headline of the article you linked is:

"Driver of N.Y.P.D. Tow Truck Is Charged After Killing 7-Year-Old Boy"

Meanwhile, Cruise is a giant corporation who are performing research to fuel their for-profit business on public streets, which means they therefore answer to the authority of the state on the bounds of this research.

The state, seeing that the for-profit corporation is behaving in bad faith within the guidelines they've set up, are going to update policy / use the punitive actions outlined within that policy to answer to this bad faith behavior.

Can you explain to me why these seem to be comparable situations that should be treated identically to you?
Heh, if that's your reasoning on why something should be the way it is, then that is what it is. Somewhat reasonable, but don't be surprised if any reasonable person quits that day. The argument is not grounded at all in computer science or anything else objectionable. It doesn't allow the team to grow and change what is in front of them every day and forces them to live with old mistakes forever. Doesn't sound like a good place to work. You don't get to a 10x solution overnight, in a single PR, you get there in increments.

I also disagree with it being "the team's code":

What you write is your code (and copyright law almost universally backs this up), what gets merged is a maintenance burden for all time. It very much matters what you like and don't like, and it very much matters that it is maintainable (whatever that means).

The team ... doesn't matter when it comes to code conventions ... they'll all be gone and moved on to other parts of the code/company/industry outside of five years. Most code lives long beyond today's team.

I don't necessarily disagree, but this article doesn't talk about any of that. It's talk about picture setting, like motion smoothing, dynamic range, local dimming, etc.

Because this article is about pulling heartstrings, not rationality. Stone countertops = rich people, rich people = bad, and rich people should feel guilty about doing said bad thing and spend massive amounts of money on plastic product instead.

If you instead just switch the headline out to concrete it wouldn't generate clicks because everyone has concrete. Also the safety protocols in homebuilding around cutting concrete are just as bad as stone cutting.

If you are cutting anything with a spinning blade you should be wearing PPE. Metal, rocks, plastic, wood, etc. That's where we should demand both laws and enforced requirements for these workers so we're not exploiting and cripping an entire class of people.
Holy crap, that one that flat out says 'We are not responsible for what you do with this camera'. Usually that is something they slip into the fine print, not make the main point of the advertisement.

secondly, if you count the major economies of the world, each major economy has a different, negotiated settlement regarding the legal rights of creative authors. These are legal outcomes of a thousand years of social evolution. The laws are quite different.

> And I'm not convinced we need a wild west either, at least if it's also more or less impossible to trace responsibility back to the producer.

I don't think it's wise to try to end the wild west. At the end of the day, we've been able to send money overseas and get things of questionable quality practically forever; some of the earliest writings are complaints about quality of foreign sellers. It's unreasonable to expect a courier to accept full responsibility for the packages it delivers, and it's usually not feasible to take effective action against a foreign seller.

It might be reasonable to require a registered agent for a seller who is realistically subject to the legal jurisdiction(s) where products are warehoused/shipping originates though. It's generally pretty easy and inexpensive to find registered agents for incorporation requirements, but I imagine if there were real consequences for registered agents of products being warehoused, costs would be real as well. If that drives people to Aliexpress, so be it?
I assume people are less shocked and more upset in, you know, that weary and disappointed way. Sometimes it's good to loudly complain about bad things happening even if you're not surprised about them happening!
I assume it's for the obnoxious activity of hand washing that some of us have to deal with
Enu author here. I taught it to a group of 11 year olds at a community coding club a few years ago, with reasonable success. At the time Enu didn't work very well, but by the end the kids were able to code simple structures and make monsters chase them around. I just started teaching it to my 8 year old and he's picked up a few things, but so far he's mostly interested in building things with blocks. We've only been at it for a couple of hours though.

Enu was designed to be usable by non-readers and new typists. There's a shorthand version of common commands, and as long as you're happy with 90 degree angles you can specify direction without numbers. For example, a box could be:

f 10 # forward 10
r 10 # right 10
b 10 # back 10
l 10 # left 10

or:

4.x: # 4 times
f 10 # forward 10
t r # turn right

It can also be configured to interpret both `;` and `:` as `:`, which makes it possible to type a lot of common Enu code without needing the SHIFT key.

Enu only recently got to a state that I'd consider usable, so whether or not this is enough to make it work for younger kids, I'm not sure. But I'm hopeful.

Ah, ok. Given that we're deep in a thread, I assumed you were talking about my arguments.

In any case, that one paragraph in the article wasn't even intended as an argument against passkeys, since the HTML email ship sailed long ago (though I still use plain text religiously).
Honestly, given that it seems like tons of retailers are trying to follow Amazon's lead with a marketplace system, I think we need a consumer protection law to require companies to make it very clear to consumers when they are buying from third party sellers. The issue is rampant. Here in Canada, CBC did an investigation about Best Buy's marketplace listings on their online store [1]. It's greed, pure and simple: these large retailers are willing to mortgage their reputation for some risk-free sales commission and absolve themselves of any liability by blaming their marketplace sellers.

But their point is that your comment doesn't have anything to do with what the article is talking about. TVs having picture settings have nothing to do with connecting it to the network.
To be more precise, those mid-budget films all did well relative to their budgets. Marvels still made far more money, but the budget was so bloated that Marvel took a loss.
There should be a basic simple form of "Center this thing" and the user shouldn't have to care whether it's an image, a header, text, or buttons.

Obviously there are edge cases and complex behavior needs to be handled as well. But there should also be sane defaults and the computer should figure everything out automatically. The default behavior for an image that is larger than the screen should be to automatically scale it down while maintaining the aspect ratio.

CSS just does not have that level of usability right now. Flexbox is a huge step in the right direction but it's still not enough.
A lot of animation is still drawn. Some CG anime is also combined with 2d drawn elements (like in SpiderMan into the Spiderverse).
Just get a modern Sony TV and be done with it. They perfected Motionflow to the point where you no longer think about framerate (choppiness nor soap opera). It's clearly a priority, probably because they are the only manufacturer with their own studios (Columbia/Sony pictures). There is a reason people pay the $800+ Sony tax over any TV that has the same panel.
> 2023 had a lot of big-budget bombs. Ant-Man, Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible, Transformers, The Flash, Fast X, Blue Beetle, Elemental, Shazam!, and the Marvels all underperformed somewhere on the scale from "disappointment" to "disaster".

And rightly so. The so-called special effects in those superhero movies are really getting exhausting. What's the point of having superpower yet battling like a peasant in medieval times? What's the point of having super intelligence yet making so many illogical decisions? What's the point of having the best technologies on earth yet having your tribe living in dirt and fighting with rhinos and using duels to elect your leaders? I can even tolerate such plot holes if the movies have good stories or interesting characters, but do they?
> Are there many games played today

Most of Valve's own games are (still!) 32-bit only on macOS, including all of the Half-Life games, both Portals, Left 4 Dead, and Team Fortress 2. The only major game of theirs which is available for 64-bit macOS is Dota 2. (Underlords and Artifact were both market failures, so I'm ignoring them.)

Really, the way Valve has handled the 64-bit transition on macOS has been pretty terrible. Up until today, their recommended "solution" for running 32-bit games was for users to downgrade to Mojave or install Windows through Boot Camp. (Never mind that neither of these is an option for users with newer computers.)

Forecasts can also be useful without error bars. Sometimes all one needs is a point prediction to inform actions.
But sometimes full knowledge of the predictive distribution is helpful or needed to make good decisions.

"Point forecasts will always be wrong" - true that for continuous data but if you can predict that some stock will go to 2.01x it's value instead of 2x that's still helpful.

But that's not really what the graph plots; it doesn't try to estimate revenue expectations or even production costs. (Although, that would be interesting to factor in production costs.)

Comparing 2006 to 2023, I see more sequels early in the list, and fewer originals.
fair, though I was thinking the context that "old money" is usually old because there's a lot of it... but new/old signaling quantity is probably less true now than ever

there's also some behavior involved, traditionally it would be a major social faux pas to ask for special treatment in a traceable way
The thing I hate about "advice" like this is that it assumes that everyone likes the same things and feels the same way, and it comes across as an attempt to shame anyone otherwise.

I like motion interpolation. I always have it turned on, and I chose my TV based on the quality of its motion interpolation.

Screens are so big these days, that if you're watching a 24fps movie, any panning movement becomes a horrible juddering shaking movement. Judder judder judder... ugh. I can't stand it.

With motion interpolation turned on, everything is silky smooth, and I can actually see what's on the screen, even when the picture is moving.

So no, I won't be turning it off, and I suggest that the next time you watch a shakey-cam action movie, you try turning it on too!

This depends a LOT on both how, and how much the display in question is used.

You can make an OLED visibly burn in within a couple months if you max the brightness, cover it in static content and then leave it running constantly.

Or it can last a decade if used lightly, on lower brightness, with good burn-in compensation software, with few to no static images.

Yes.

That statement is correct.

Literally, actually, and factually the techniques and technologies used in the 1940s and 1950s that led to the Windscale fire at Sellafield, which is the root of most of the cost are gone. Dead.

The bulk of the cost are the remains of the Windscale Piles (1950/1951) and the Legacy Ponds (1960). Little that people did 70 years ago when it comes to nuclear waste storage and disposal is acceptable or legal today.

> rural areas where fiber will NEVER be laid.

> broadband satellite internet, which is the ONLY way rural Americans will ever get broadband internet.

What's your basis for "never" and "only"? If you mean that universal fiber will be "never" (hyperbolically speaking) happen in the US due to subsidy fraud by large incumbent ISPs paired with lack of subsidy enforcement by the federal government, then I would agree with you (again, only hyperbolically).

If you mean that internet access is not affordable enough for poor rural Americans, then fiber is the most sustainable in the long term for ISPs and hence makes it harder for ISPs to justify maintaining high prices. (Comcast and the like will continue overcharging, but ISPs operating within states or municipalities will be able to undercut them.) I don't see how satellite broadband would be cheaper than fiber in the long term for residents.

If you mean that building out fiber is not technically feasible then you would be wrong, considering that rural electrification in the US was almost completely successful in terms of physically reaching homes. (I say almost because there might be a number of households without physical access to electricity, but not on the same order of magnitude as households without physical access to internet.) From the Wikipedia article on rural electrification [1]:

> By the early 1970s about 98% of all farms in the United States had electric service, a demonstration of REA's success.

Note: REA stands for the Rural Electrification Administration.

Rural Americans are disadvantaged because the lower population density means that ISPs need to wait longer to get returns on their investments, but in the long term the situation is the same as in urban areas. From a TechCrunch article regarding broadband access:

> Approximately 28% of Americans in rural areas do not have access to or cannot afford broadband — the rate is 23% in urban areas.

The article doesn't distinguish between people without physical access and people who simply can't afford service. However, there are some Americans in urban areas, not just rural areas, who lack physical access to broadband.

Noise reduction and dynamic brightness aren't too bad if done tastefully. But it's really up to the TV manufacturers to do it properly which is why there is just general advice to turn it off.
1) you can know how to navigate filter bubbles but the moment you do, you’ll be shoehorned into things that interest you. Which is how it works. Which is fine, but it’s a bad tool to discover things you aren’t interested in.

2) this is the kid of comment that makes me feel more confident. Like… shut up. No, you won’t better understand the youth by ingesting garbage and calling them media illiterates just talk to people and ask questions.
The big difference is that before, the tip you picked before placing the order directly reflected the offers that the dashers would see. If you put no tip then very few dashers would be willing to take the order. This is what effectively made it mandatory.

Now dashers won't see tip variance in offers, it'll effectively be post-service from their perspective.

From the consumer perspective, yes, you can tip before you have the food in hand, but it's no different than if you had gone back after delivery and added a tip.

I don't really see what your remaining point of contention is here.
>What's the point of having the best technologies on earth yet having your tribe living in dirt and fighting with rhinos and using duet to elect your leaders

Yes, Marvel is shit now, but escapism and fantasy entertainment doesn't work on real world logic. If I want to see realistic battles going on I just turn on the news. I go to the cinema because I want a dose of escapism while I turn off my brain for 2 hours.
A couple years ago, my Samsung TV slowed to a crawl. Each click through a menu took multiple seconds. I eventually discovered a new setting buried deep to turn off "real-time anti-virus scanning". That immediately fixed the performance problems.

Your numbers literally turns a scenario where 200,000 accounts are hacked into one where 200 are exposed. Or one where 30 hacked accounts turn into 0 hacked accounts.

I'd argue that _both_ should necessitate policy changes. The argument that there shouldn't be changes for one if there aren't changes for another is a flawed one.
The only exception that I would tag on to that is documentation. "I can't understand this documentation/comment" deserves more attention than I think most places give it.

It doesn't directly relate to execution today, but it might later on when someone misunderstands the docs or just gives up on them and tries to hack it together blind.
