You are talking about harm mitigation, and when options are made available there is very enthusiastic take-up from even street addicts. If you create a safe injection center people will come and use there, so there is medical care. If you distribute drug test kits they will use them. If you offer clean needles they will use them.

We don’t offer them in most places because (a) nobody wants a safe drug use center near them because drug users will come to it and (b) a really despicable and unfortunately common attitude that harm reduction is bad because it keeps drug users alive.
There's orders of magnitude less TV shows than books. But yes, they are usually more viral as well.
Makes sense. Other key questions would be: complexity cost of added hoop (including, possibly, increased attack surface -- the sequence of hoops is just an abstraction that reality may not obey) and also creation difficulty (it could be that improving an existing hoop is significantly quicker than creating a new one).
Same here. 9 hour time difference. Mom is 70.

I try to thank her every time I call with her, and apologize for being an ass.

But what hurts me the most is that I can't help her. I can't fix the computer, or clear the gutters. You know, things that an adult son should be doing.

Nor can I invite her for coffee.

Well, actually, she'd come around unannounced, via the gate, not using the front door. I got angry about that multiple times. But now, I would be really happy.
Its just the next SSN and we all know how great that is going

Ah yes, having both probably makes the prioritization fall apart :(

I have no idea if there's any sane way to make this work. Since I only speak Japanese, my fix on Linux is to prepend IPA PGothic/IPA PMincho (which only contains Japanese glyph) to lang=ja, which worked quite well.
Can anyone who has seen these demos confirm if they are 6 DoF (the perspective changes with viewer position) or merely stereo?

The latter is boring and easy to implement, the former much more compelling and technically difficult.
The difference is that my device isn't incompatible, Apple just doesn't want me to run iMessage on it. They don't just not care, they're actively blocking companies that released clients.
Correct. Although it wouldn't surprise me if this _was_ locked into the apple ecosystem, it would be nice if it took advantage of existing open standards (whatever those may be).
It was added to the original iPhone with iPhone OS 2.
Yes, but this is only because Apple designed the phone that way. Apple should not be immune from antitrust law purely because they decided not to allow competition.
That kind of problem is much rarer, because Unicode has separate codepoints for traditional/simplified Chinese.
Good on Tesla for taking Washington Post directly on. I'm not a Tesla fan nor do I care much about Elon. More people/companies need to do this. Mainstream news spreads a lot of misinformation.
> the harsh reality is that nobody is stopping someone from building an open ecosystem phone.

The harsh reality is that manufacturing capacity and network effects actually prevents building an open ecosystem phone. You will never be able to purchase the best chips and displays.

I think we need to stop pretending that regulating competition is a bad thing. Competition is what makes capitalism work as an economic system. Without competition capitalism is inefficient and harmful. If we can inject more competition into the system as a whole, wherever possible, it's going to be good for consumers.
I'm always surprised by the amount of human labor involved, I tend to think of manufacturing as mostly robots but there are numerous manual steps.
>I don't get it, so no company can provide a walled garden? Or at least, not if they're successful?

Framing things as you have leads to the impression that, by analogy to oppressing a person, restricting a large company is bad. But a company is not a person. Companies are legal constructs that exist because they are useful to society. A monopoly distorts markets and stifles innovation by disadvantaging potential competitors. This is not beneficial to society and so should not be permitted. So yes, a sufficiently large company should not be permitted to do things that might be permissible for a smaller company.
> They're not asking anyone to develop apps for them

Building a mobile app SDK and an app store is very much asking a lot of people to develop apps for them.
This is a poor analogy, because there is no coparable access to build other app stores, as this is not the same kind of ecosystem for a market.
My iPhone users don't know that they're being "taxed" 30% on every single app purchase.
Your fingerprint is stored as a number. The camera identifies repeating patterns, similar to a QR code, which reads like a number.
You wouldn't even need a print, if you could spoof the right sequence.
>why we limit this to humans only? In my opinion, is a bacteria, virus, ideology, hate, chemicals, drugs, pollution, technical problems, climate change, ecology causes harm to humans, then it should be equal to harm done by a human directly.

because when you go that granular it's hard to figure out who to blame. is COVID really any one person's fault, even if we narrow it down to a specific patient 0? is that harm intentional and worthy of punishment? Is having a buggy website really "harming a human directly?" And who takes blame? The web dev, the site owner company, the ISP? These start to get unnecessarily nitpicky.

>Why it's illegal to shot someone, but legal to smoke weed near to someone, which leads to addiction and further death?

depends on the drug? Secondhand smoke is a thing but even that has dubious legalities. You're usually not punished for the smoke but for violating the ruls of the premise to not smoke. But nothing is illegal about smoking tobacco in public (as unpleasant as the smoke is).
The idea of an undo “graph” in memory is something I’ve implemented, and in C++ even, so it was fun to read the article. Couldn’t agree more — once you’ve had it, going back to the linear, often truncated thing most application implement is a little sad.

In my case when state A transitioned to B, was undone and further changes made to get state C I would retain the XOR of the changed memory of the A->B transition as run length encoded bytes B’ and similarly C’ so it was lightweight and extremely fast to undo and redo (the latter being exactly the same as the former but applied to A rather than B, since that’s how XOR works). Cool stuff.
Yeah, quite the hassle. Even the big boys like Apple screw it up[1]

Why would Unicode bother consolidating code points like this...? Not like it's short on space.
> "Stability" is lacking in video editors because none are written in Rust.

And yet, somehow, all the pro editors manage to be fairly stable despite being written in C++ (or maybe obj-c in the case of final cut pro and iMovie)

Maybe you should do some introspection as to why that is, instead of blaming the language used.

PS: blender's NLE is possibly the most stable of the open-source ones and it's written in C. Maybe that's a hint? Maybe the answer is good leadership and high quality contributors?
And before someone tries to refute this part of your argument: sure, Android is an alternative... if you have a very niche app that somehow only caters to Android users, and somehow caters to the comparatively small percentage of Android users who are willing to actually pay for apps.

Ultimately if you're a sizeable company that wants to operate in the US, and a mobile app is something you need to offer, you have to build one for iOS. If you don't, you'll fail.

I would say these days you aren't going to do quite as well if you don't also build an Android app, but you can probably get away with it in quite a few markets if you really didn't want to.

Heh, I remember when Instagram was iOS-only, and that was the case for... at least a year? More?
>For a long time, the West has accused the Chinese of being lazy because of misinterpreting this term.

This statement struck me as odd. Interesting contrast to what I experienced as a kid growing up I guess, since I’ve never heard this before. I always heard the way asshole kids talked about Chinese kids was to make fun of how hard they worked (same way they made fun of the Mexicans like me) and how they weren’t allowed to talk to girls or something like that. I remember feeling like “yeah I know it’s weird man, they say the same crap to me. How is being hard working an insult?”
I blame it on my autism for not understanding at the time. I didn’t know how creative assholes could be.
That doesn't matter. Businesses aren't required to make the same deals with everyone.
Which I believe is also false. The jailbroken appstores predate the apple appstore.
Likely "cow-goal" as a play on "Algol".
Why is Unicode worried about having separate character sets? Modern computers have plenty of storage space.

If someone enters a form with these characters how can a site know what language to show it as. It makes no sense to work this way.
I am not aware of any testing that has approved vitamin B3 (niacin) as a treatment for schizophrenia. Perhaps you are thinking of vitamin B13.

At one time orotic acid was known as vitamin B13. It is no longer considered a vitamin. It is interesting that orotic acid can combine with lithium to form lithium orotate and some people believe it could be used as a treatment.

Lithium (carbonate) is sometimes used for the treatment of schizophrenia and although lithium orotate can also provide lithium, it has not passed testing for approval in any medical treatment that I have encountered.
Ah yes, this. I once downloaded an android flashcard app with a Japanese card deck for studying kanji, and was a quarter of the way through when I noticed that the characters I was memorizing had been displaying incorrectly all along.
>they have also mitigated attacks which weren’t even known to exist

I'll bet the NSA is very happy about this situation and is doing everything they can to keep the gravy train rolling.

I thought the entire point of being a good security person was that you're able to anticipate and defend against attacks before they become known... Isn't that what "security mindset" is supposed to entail?

I recently read somewhere that a paper is a small part of a long on-going conversation. I found this description aptly.

To comprehend the latest paper, I frequently find it necessary to grasp the context provided by its citations. All pertinent papers collectively shape a Directed Acyclic Graph.

Is there a tool available that would enable me to organize papers in a DAG, allowing me to formulate a structured reading plan? Currently, my PDFs are scattered across different locations, and I essentially have to rely on memory to recall the dependencies between papers.

I also want to share my organized papers with the same research group.
On what planet are they ever going to eliminate other AI? Neither Amazon, nor Google are at any risk of going bankrupt, and I can say with 100% certainty both will continue to build their own AI while solvent. That’s to say nothing of competitors coming out of Europe and Asia.
My years of reading "newspapers" and traveling with planes has taught me that this story is too good to be true. Taking a flight to US without a passport, from anywhere in Europe, is impossible.
On Linux seccomp is what provides syscall restrictions, and seccomp was originally added to Linux to support untrusted app sandboxing--CPUShare and later Chrome Native Client (NaCl). See https://lwn.net/Articles/332974/. This is why classic seccomp, as opposed to BPF seccomp, only permitted a small, fixed set of syscalls--read, write, and _exit.

A seccomp classic sandboxed process will be at least as secure as any WASM runtime, no matter the engine. Even though the former is running untrusted native code, the attack surface is much more narrow and transparent.
It was, in the old days, 16-bit, IIRC.
So just use passports? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The compression level of MMS is set by the carrier, and cannot be changed or even queried.
If you want to build a successful, growing business in the US, yes, you absolutely do.

Certainly the definition of "success" differs depending on who you ask, but if we're talking about a player like Epic, they absolutely have to sell their app on the Apple app store. They absolutely should also sell on the Google Play Store, but it's still table stakes (at least in the US) to have an iOS app.
In Vancouver the rate of violent crime doesn’t feel that high. There are lots of people strung out of their mind and they will definitely yell at you but I have never heard of anyone in my circle of friends and their circle of friends being assaulted.
Early law didn't anticipate anything. Modern law can't keep up either.

There are multiple passport controls and, unless you can fly to the plane, you can't make it.
> I don't get it, so no company can provide a walled garden? Or at least, not if they're successful?

Exactly. If you take US antitrust law as written, once you're close to being the dominant player, you can't have a walled garden.

I don’t know how you can expect English speakers to care about this sort of thing, when the vast majority of them don’t even pay attention to how their own language is displayed in software they develop.

Every organisation I’ve worked at meets attempts to correct apostrophes and curly quotes in their English copy with such an intense mixture of indifference, confusion, and annoyance, that anybody who tries is quickly convinced that they are the insane ones to pay attention to such inconsequential nonsense. Use of tabs vs spaces is easier to turn into a legitimate problem with business impact by comparison.
I often heard this argument from people learning LaTeX in academia. It's difficult and I don't have time to study it.

> Even if you make a phone that only works on the AT&T network, you still need to agree to their terms.

Prior to the 1980s, AT&T, as the dominant telephone service provider in the United States, had a policy that only allowed customers to use telephones that were leased from them. This policy was rooted in the belief that non-AT&T equipment could harm the telephone network. Does that sounds familiar?

Several legal cases (and the eventual breakup of AT&T) eventually opened up the AT&T network to third party phones and consumers rejoiced.
Yes, and we can solve drug addiction directly by giving people drugs.

What is free housing? Free as in indefinitely free with no strings attached? Free utilities, free services, free food, perhaps free transportation? Free furniture, free healthcare, free drugs, free clothes, free HOA?

Do you think the violent addicts everyone complains about just need a house, and starting from day one they will become productive members of society?
But they only get to pick 3. Also people are unlikely to watch old TV compared to read old books.

You don’t understand social mobility, it does not imply what you think it does. It primarily reflects the smallness of a country and wage compression. Countries that are neither small nor have wage compression, such as the US, will always show poorly by that metric.

You can, in absolute terms, dramatically increase your income in a country like the US and still be less “socially mobile” than a small income increase in a poorer country. People care about dramatically increasing their income much more than they care about being “socially mobile”. If you care about individual prosperity, social mobility is at best a secondary measure of success.

This isn’t a new phenomenon, the EU still struggles to produce genuinely innovative companies.
Some of the books in sci fi are actually fantasy.

Some specificity is required when discussing legal concepts like tying and essential facility.

For tying, while not a firm ‘rule’ the most common application of tying is limited to the ‘tied’ product being from another market when compared to the ‘tying’ product. Also, the current appellate court standard (worded semi-informally) is that a tying of products raises antitrust concerns when it restricts competition AND provides no benefit to consumers.

As to essential facility, the most impactful factor for the plaintiff (as in the hardest burden for the government to overcome to establish monopolistic abuse) is as follows: the plaintiff is REQUIRED to prove that the compelled permission to competitors to utilize the “facility” does not interfere or allow for detrimental effects of the dominant firm’s ability to serve its own customers.

Apple’s historic marketing speak and other ‘on the record’ statements about the app store’s exclusivity ensuring tight control for the security of Apple’s customers is directly written to advance defenses to these two claims.

You can certainly argue that Apple’s conduct is characterized as abuse of monopoly, but there arguments against that can also be compelling.

The above IS NOT and should not be considered legal advice.
I can imagine that this is required because the vast majority of people have "opinions" on the experts' field. So many people operate on gut feelings and reject science and fact. So they prefer to blanket ban arguing about the experts statement.
It’s a security feature. They’ve had this feature for more than a decade [1].

It allows them to remotely remove any malicious app from Android devices without any user intervention.

I'm lost; how does big brother play in?

> " think, is that we cannot reliably reflect/contextualize about today's news/events until it becomes history, i.e. reliability"

This is exactly my point so far:: the best approximation I have for contextualizing today's news is by examining the diff of today's history and yesterday's news.

I'm not confident in my grammar; let me make a graphic:

......................................

..........|yesterday|Today

news...| A ........ | x

history.| B ........ | C

......................................

diff(x, reality) ~= diff(A,C)

......................................

Given A, C, and x; my goal is to determine reality, with the assumption that x does not necessarily equal reality.

over repeated days:

diff(x+1, reality+1) ~= diff(A,C) + diff(A-1, B) + diff(A-2,B-1) ~= integral(diff(A,C))dt

So, over time, reading current news allows me to contextualize current news as a function of how it became history in the past; increasing my ability to evaluate >"reliability"
of current news.

Whatever improvement I'm looking for almost certainly lies in reading history, and comparing to what would have been current news at the time.

Is this where you're imagining big brother?
> How is this different from telling people to move to a different town when their town bans walmart?

I generally agree with your point, but this is a weird argument: towns can and do ban big-box stores, and yes, "move to a different town" is exactly the only remedy people have, if they want to live close to those kinds of stores. And frankly we generally see that as a good thing! Big-box stores tend to kill downtowns.

> I've invested considerably money into the apple ecosystem.

This confuses your Walmart analogy quite a bit, because there's no such thing as "investing money into the Walmart ecosystem". Walmart doesn't have an ecosystem. If your Walmart closes down and other stores pop up to replace it, you just start shopping at those other stores, and likely don't really notice much of a difference.

And that's precisely the point of the issue with Apple. If I've been an iOS user for years and years, and suddenly Apple changes the terms to something I really don't like, it'll cost me a lot to switch to another platform.
The problem is that after a decade, my choices are to continue to spend money at Apple, or spend even more money and time to leave Apple, go somewhere else, and buy all the apps I already own, all over again.

When I first started, I used to think of Apple as the best option available to me. Now I think about it as the least bad option. The cost of leaving involves so much time and money, that it’s not a realistic option.
> such as construction and remote surgery

I know there's some fuzziness between the layers, but shouldn't that be squarely in the application layer?
