> your peripheral vision gets distracted by irrelevant stimuli (for some reason I automatically have to look when it seems like something is “happening” all of a sudden, an urge I have to repress)

If you figure out how to do this, please let everyone know. I don't think it's possible. I think humans have it baked in to them to pay attention to, for lack of a better word, information.

I used to have a long commute driving along a highway with trees and mountains along the side and, some mornings, the sky would light up from the brilliance of sunrise. Billboards tracked the highway for kilometres. Billboards were always in view and somehow they were louder than everything else. Like, if you looked at an entire landscape and the billboard, with its clickbaity text, was an absolutely small area of your vision -- it would disproportionately occupy your attention and space in your mind. Just like how you can hear your heartbeat when it's very quiet. It's not gone when you can't hear it -- the quiet things are still there and unchanged but you can't experience them when something else is being loud. In the very same way you can no longer travel down that road and experience the joy of not being sold anything,
I disagree. I will never trust a non Apple or Alphabet entity more than Apple or Alphabet to connect to my phone.

I like and will always prefer that I can get into any vehicle with CarPlay/Android Auto and trust that my phone is not giving out any information.

They do enforce their cut on in-app purchase but since you can sideload app I see it at less of an issue (suppose all games would become free with a 40e in game purchase otherwise).

Edit: on the price parity while the policy might be listed as applying only for Steam key it's possible they engage in anti competitive practice since :

"The new policy was not formally announced but appeared sometime over the past few days on Apple's publicly available law enforcement guidelines. It follows the revelation from Oregon Senator Ron Wyden that officials were requesting such data from Apple as well as from Google, the unit of Alphabet (GOOGL.O) that makes the operating system for Android phones."

This sums up Apple's view on privacy. So essentially they were fine handing over the data without warrant until this was exposed. Now that it has gone public they are "revising" the process to make it inline with their competitor Google.
The 25-year rule is part of an EU copyright directive (which Iceland, as an EEA country, has adopted as well). Also, this isn't technically a copyright, but an equivalent right. (And the right is not 4000 years old.) The EU directive says (in English):

> Any person who, after the expiry of copyright protection, for the first time lawfully publishes or lawfully communicates to the public a previously unpublished work, shall benefit from a protection equivalent to the economic rights of the author. The term of protection of such rights shall be 25 years from the time when the work was first lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public.

> If a police officer comes to your door without a warrant, you can still tell them "hello, please come in and look around the house". I'm not sure why you would, but you have the freedom to do so.

Nice example. I also work as a legal advisor and had that two times with a client. Second time my client invited them in, because my client doesn't want the neighbors to hear about it (he'd rather have them guess). Police know how to play this game. ;) Another game they played every time is this: one officer talks with the client, the other police officer is listening and suddenly interrupted him with some minor detail. They do everything to bring you off balance.

They never brought the so-called 'problem' to trial. It's just about letting him know they're paying attention and showing up at his doorstep (although they have his phone number). It's a shame they never did something with the false complaints against my client.

And yes, me and my client are from The Netherlands. ;)
Holy smokes! I wanted to build the exact same website about COVID (the reason i decided not to is because of the "downvotes" - people don't like seeing something uncomfortable).
I lent there many times a couple of years ago.

I always insisted that I was only paid back what I had lent. I stopped doing this when I was not paid back several times in a row.

As a frequent reader what I noticed was that people were repeatedly coming back. They might ask for £250, they repay with whatever 'interest' was asked, and then they post again asking more money. As the user's payment history is posted, and they seem trustworthy, they get the new loan. Repeat and repeat.

They are forever trapped in a cycle of paying more back and from what they ask - it's never for what might be called luxuries - they slowly sink.

So while I saw it as useful, and indeed it may be for some, there are others who are effectively being financially abused and they have no way out of that loop.

It actually seems understandable to me. Many politicians in the US are former lawyers, judges, etc. They could easily have learned lessons of how much privacy protections can get in the way of "real" investigations. They're also part of a government that has been handed more and more power for the better part of 60 years, privacy laws are a problem if your honest view is that the government is there to protect us by whatever means are necessary.
This is a nice timeline animation.

I have heard that the previous driving automation on a Tesla while not as advanced was generally solid for what it does and might be still a plus for those vehicles.

I’ve done the same exact thing but for Latvian diacriticals (āčēģīķļņšūž).

The default behaviour of the Latvian layout in macOS is to make apostrophe a dead key, which really grinds my gears. So I made it alt+whatever letter instead. As a dev I use apostrophe way too much to be okay with typing '+space for it.

> Because Israel as a state 'for the jews' is an ethnostate, it must keep a jewish demographic majority. So long as that is the case, there is no way for Palestinians to have rights without having their own state.

Yes, we agree on that point.

> Second, that suffering is directly caused by Israel. You can't blame the political projects of the Palestinians for the actions of the IDF.

No, the Palestinians suffering is far more due to their own governing bodies, UNRWA, and Arab states' actions to deliberately subject the Palestinian people to oppression and to prevent the establishment of viable population-focused (instead of state-focused) institutions. The Israeli state (not the IDF specifically) may be responsible for some percentage of suffering, but it is dwarfed by the aforementioned bodies.

> Thirdly, what form of self-determination would actually be acceptable to Israel? Would it include the banning of settlement activity, and the settlers having to live under Palestinian law? Would it include palestinian's right to border control? Or a military?

Good question, and every Israeli's idea of an answer is different. For the most part, the vast majority of Israelis would like the Palestinians to live in their own productive state alongside Israel. Productive, happy neighbours make for good neighbours.

> The reason why people call Gaza a prison is because the Palestinians had absolutely no ability to leave, import, or export, because it did not have control over its own borders. That is obviously just as intolerable as an explicit military occupation.

Borders have two sides. Gaza controls one side of her border, Egypt and Israel control the other. No state has control over both sides of its borders, not even in the Schengen states or the US.

> Like insisting on eating exclusively vitamin gruel because it's optimized for nutrition per minutes.

That is actually a thing and perhaps a growing industry called "meal replacements".

It's not surprising given that meals for many people are already just plastic wrapped matter heated in a microwave and slurped up from their laps on the couch.

Part of it is politicians who seem insistent on treating productivity as a primary goal. If we were struggling to produce enough food then, sure, productivity would be a big problem. But we produce an excess of food. So much so that obesity and diabetes are a problem now. This goes for everything: I can't think of a single thing in life where I think "if only we were more productive I'd be happier". At some point we really have to learn to just be happy.

The other part is the tendency of people to focus on simple metrics and neglect anything with nuance. Things like number of books you've read this year, how many people you manage, how much money you earn. All simple numbers, all essentially meaningless outside of a much broader context, but all pursued with laser focus for no particular reason.

At this point in my life I earn more money than ever, I have more stuff and, yes, I'm more productive. But am I happier now than when I got my first cheap car (that I could now buy every month without even sacrificing anything)? Am I happier than when I first had sex? Am I happier than that day I cooked a splendid boeuf bourguignon for my student house? Of course not.
There is no publicly known archive of Tesla software images, at all. Which, with the benefit of hindsight, do sound wrong.

One of the best Indian candidates I interviewed was the one who had the worst college grades... probably because they focused on internalizing the material and actual problem solving. The other candidates all studied Leetcode, and was dumbfounded when asked a simple, non Leetcode question. The question was to bruteforce and guest a password to a website. I provide them the API definition to Login with a Username and Password. All they had to do was generate every possible password between 8 and 20 characters. There is no rate limiting and we don't care about optimality or runtime. The only tricky bit is that there are a variety of business/password words such as password strings can't start with a number. If they call the API with 5 passwords that don't satisfy the password rules, they get locked out. This isn't worded as a Leetcode problem, but it's really just generating every permutation and filter out strings that don't match some condition checks (which I enumerate for them. It's not a blackbox). Asking people to program against this API: boolean login(username: String, password: String) was enough to trip up these people with Masters degree.

The problem with people cheating the system is that it harms candidates like this.

I sympathise with myself.

I don't want to have an infotainment system in my car I need to spend hundreds of euros to update the software for. Or order a Totally Legit Upgrade DVD from Slovenia via eBay for only 50€. That just happens to require me to insert a CD that says "unlock" on it first :D

Then the upgrade took two hours, 1h 50min of which the device was totally unresponsive and I wasn't sure if it would be OK to turn off the car or not.

Oh, and the maps were always out of date. It cost more to get the "update" (which was always old) than it would've been to buy a separate GPS unit.

And this was a premium VW car, albeit a bit older at the time.

I'd much rather use the device in my pocket that has eons more computing power than all the CPUs in all the cars I've ever owned combined, with up to date maps, traffic data and regular free software updates. The device I can upgrade separately from my car at any time I want.

If a car doesn't support CarPlay, I'm not buying it. (One of the top5 reasons I haven't bought a Tesla)
Both Jews and Palestinian have legitimate grievances, going back over a hundred years, and they are so numerous that it seems pointless to enumerate them here. And these grievances have consistently been used by both sides to trivialize of deny the grievances of the other side. Its is the ultimate Oppression Olympics.

The problems are also much deeper than just "Netanyahu and Hamas". Not only does Netanyahu keep getting re-elected, these ultra hard-right Religious Zionist people have also gained quite a lot of ground, and these people are utterly bonkers, having expressed views that are nothing short of genocidal (even before the current war). And at the same time Hamas also has fairly wide-spread support among the people of Gaza, and Hamas has also expressed views that are nothing short of genocidal.

In short, it's a cultural problem, not a "Netanyahu and Hamas"-problem. Conflicts like this ends when people get tired of the violence and stop caring about who did what to who, and just want it to stop. This is why the Good Friday Accords in Northern Ireland have held, in spite of some opposition, as well as lingering grievances and even outright hatred, from both sides.

I'm not seeing this willingness here. The last time this was really present was the 90s, a hopeful period in general, and the Oslo accords between Rabin and Arafat seemed to be the start of the end of the conflict. It was not to be, and things didn't end well for either men: one got murdered by one of his own religious nutjobs and the other eventually got side-tracked by his own religious nutjobs, and things have only gotten worse since then.

I'm not hopeful for a resolution any time soon. Solutions for fundamental problems like "Gaza has been an open air prison for 15 years and we need to do something with these people" are barely being asked, and even the question itself is met with hostility by some.

Maybe someone still has a savegame from a few decades ago and we can try again? That seems the most plausible solution.
I believe one major difference between GH issues and Jira tickets in an enterprise setting is the lack of time estimating and work logs in GH.

This is not useful for the Economist as it currently exists. They'd have to charge a significant amount for an article so the engaging articles also cover for the 'boring' ones, and at that point you might as well get that full package. Which you can already buy at the store, or read at the library, but either way the entire edition is funded. The occasional $0.25 is nothing when they're looking for $209 per year from Americans or €300 from Europeans, the single issues are for the people who want to occasionally buy or gift it. The people only interested in single digit articles per year can already get given gift articles from people with a digital subscription.

No, there is no requirement under US law to preemptively block non-US users, or under NZ law to block non-NZ users. German courts held that there was jurisdiction over PG because they had content in German, and PG decided to comply. But you can, in fact, pick a server location with lax laws. But you may be susceptible to get sued elsewhere (in some cases), and the local country can force ISPs to block your site, too, if you don't respond.
Like every programmer before me, I created a to-do list app of course! However, as a programmer, I prefer trees to lists so I made a to-do tree app. I have been using it religiously every day since to manage all aspects of my life in a way that I couldn't previously with tools like Wunderlist (RIP) or didn't have the time to make work in this way like Notion.

Shockingly there aren't many other options out there for tree-based to-dos so when I posted it to my personal Twitter some people really liked it and started paying for it which turned my weekend project into more of a full-time side project.

As of today, I've been working on it for almost a year on and off and in fact yesterday I submitted my first iOS app to the app store for approval (a quick rejection but easily solvable!).

I think everyone should build their own to-do list app not least because it encourages you to actually use a to-do list app but also because I've learned so many interesting lessons from it along the way. Through this project, I've learned Svelte, iOS development with SwiftUI, lots of things about PWAs, and much more that is not easy to convey about engineering solutions.
