>Neither the space shuttle nor Starship use ablative heat shield tiles.

They are effectively ablative in the sense that neither vehicle has (or will) be able to complete successive missions without massive replacement of damaged and missing tiles. The fundamental approach is not suitable to reusability, as we learned with the shuttle.

Your phone isn't Apple's storefront. Their storefront is. Prohibiting their customers from patronizing any other store is clearly anti-competitive.

It's not legal just because you agree with the philosophy of a closed ecosystem. "A closed ecosystem" is inherently anti-competitive and should be illegal.
I can say that in all the reading I've done about Taoism, I've never seen this accusation. I bet OP can't name 3 examples of blaming wu-wei, by name, for 'Chinese laziness', which span at least 3 decades (much less 'for a long time').

I lived in Austin (grew up there) until 2016.

When Google Fiber began its rollouts, I remember the cable providers simply NOT ALLOWING GOOGLE ACCESS TO THEIR UTILITY POLES (they owned <10%, but in vital places this essentially crippled gFiber rollout for the first few years of litigation).

I got google fiber (Austin) in 2015, and when I chose to leave The Violet Crown, fiber internet was an absolute requirement... which is how I found myself in Chattanooga, Tennessee (thank god)!
> I distinctly remember stories on NPR during the crisis that browbeat homeowners who did this or thinking about doing this, claiming it was “unethical”.

Whatever one thinks of the rest of the book, everyone should internalize the part of Graeber’s Debt in which he explains that connecting moral duty to personal debt under impersonal capitalism (if not, perhaps, to debt owed someone you know) is grade-A bullshit.

It’s just business. Make the move that is best for you, period. Sometimes that’s default! It’s probably nice for lenders if people believe there’s some moral duty attached, but that moral duty is only ever gonna go one way, so don’t fall for it. They’re not doing you a favor. It’s business. They make profit because there’s risk.
Even with adblock, I've had hijacked channels end up as the top search result. Most recently with the last SpaceX starship launch. Trying to find the livestream, I just searched SpaceX and the top hits were all fake channels with lots of subscribers, hosting the actual livestream, but with a big QR code to a crypto scam overlaid. It happens every time, with the same things, and has been reported many times. There's no way they don't know about it.
It's always going to be a touchy subject, a lot of people will see attacks on Doctorow as a denouncement of his ideas. Most people probably agree with what he has to say, just in simpler terms with less sensationalist framing. His use of manufactured phrases like "enshittification" already puts him on the back heel, while his other contemporaries have written licenses or software that spoke for itself.

Cory Doctorow didn't do anything wrong, he just hasn't reached the levels that a lot of people were hoping he'd reach. I'm with the GP comment too, Doctorow's writing feels less prescriptive and more rhetorical. I'm almost worried it does more harm than good, at this point.
Not factually wrong at all - the dosages, ingredients, diagnosis and even the language are all strikingly accurate. Naturally, the "fake" 1680s doctor didn't write the same prescription as the real one (Sydenham). But a different real life doctor would've disagreed with Sydenham, too. In other words, if you had 100 physicians in the 1680s write out a prescription for hysteria and "hypochondriacal passion," this would be (IMO) indistinguishable from the real ones. What's different is that this is interactive, so you can change elements at will. Again, this isn't reflective of historical fact. It also isn't simply fan fiction. This text isn't an end point, but a starting point for jumpstarting your own thinking about the affordances of a past world.

In other words, I think this is a new method for thinking creatively about history -- one among many that already existed, like historical fiction, historical re-enactment, various forms of experiential learning like debates and roleplaying, etc. But it's cool that there's a new one!

Yes, they are a mafia. And yes, they want 30% of the gross income, just like other mafias (that historically has been the mafia cut in New Jersey and New York).

> They want money from my app when I want money from their store!

Apple is a mafia because they want money that they do not earn. They didn't do anything that deserves 30% of gross to help me write my application, and they are not promoting it for free.

All they do is they provide a shitty autoupdate service.

ISPs and Pharma companies get subsidies from the government, I don't think your argument holds up here. Just another area that Republicans are happy to be hypocrites on. I would love to see Republicans set out "small government" legislation that removes subsidies to the core businesses in their states but you and I both know that will never happen. A child getting food stamps is an example of our 'welfare state' but it's never the billions that go to agriculture or pharma companies.

About a decade or two ago, turbulence seemed worse. My uncle told of a time when he saw people hit the ceiling. I've rarely had issues, although plenty of smaller pockets where service does get suspended. I fly out of SEA, but in my opinion, DEN is much bumpier because of the sheer winds from the Rockies.

My rule of thumb is if the drinks didn't fly into the air and spill, then turbulence is minor.

Also pilots largely avoid microbursts now:

I didn't know either, I only really checked because I was curious if they had a completely different etymology and only happened to be spelt^ and used similarly.

(^or if, like spelt and spelled, the same root had just come to be used in two ways for the same.)

So, note to self, slither is not a noun! (Except to mean limestone rubble apparently, but I think I can ignore that.)
Likewise the indication (if any) on a sheet-fed scanner tray that tells you whether to put the paper in face up or face down.

I've taken to just writing instructions to myself on that type of thing with a sharpie, using actual text, and/or an actual diagram. It works well with the usual beige plastic. If it's black, I usually put it on a small piece of paper and tape it somewhere it won't interfere with the operation.

allowing to use and what it does with them are different issues. AVISynth was an 8bit pipeline even if you fed it a 10bit source. there were various attempts at getting the pipeline to 10bit, but by the time I moved away from using it, it was all experimental builds. there were also plenty of filters/plugins that were also 8bit only.

for its day, AVISynth was an amazing tool. it was just one of those code bases that was "written in a weekend" that became bigger than ever anticipated and had nearly unsurmountable tech debt. it was pure magic in what it could do though, so it lived far longer than it should.

This is an interesting story. With simple supply and demand, we have massive oversupply for office real estate and significantly reduced demand - prices should drop, right?

Except we have the bag holders, the landlords who retained leases and the banks who own the mortgages, they are going to fight tooth and nail to maintain the value of their assets, and they have deep pockets.

I've seen one story where the writer made the argument that this is why we've been seeing "you must return to the office" stories - big business must have line go up, line must never go down.

We'll see what happens but I sure hope there are no government bail-outs for this sector. Investment involves the risk of the asset depreciating.
“Business interference” and “harming a competitor” are awfully vague, though. Who’s considered a competitor? Is it “business interference” for example to protect one’s character designs with Nightshade, with the tool serving as a sort of compliment to copyright protection that can be enforced without court involvement? What about using it with landscape stock photography as an AI-proof counterpart to visual watermarking?

It is thoroughly documented, yet alot of people make spelling mistakes and we sometime make up animals to mock people who spell stuff "as it sounds in their heads". And then there's people who are good spellers, whomst wouldn't blink twice or use Google when asked to spell "accommodate" or "nausaeus". Do you think that these mega spellers can document _how_ they spell correctly all the time? Or do you think they have some good intuition/tacit knowledge?

English is my second language so I tried to make some funny mistakes above due to the topic, but there might also be some unwanted/undocumented ones thrown in for good measure.

I hope this encourages Mozilla to focus more on page archiving support on the web. I feel as though they missed a huge opportunity by not making it easy to archive pages with DOM snapshots, or easy to snag videos or images. (Go to Instagram and try to right-click -> download the image; you can't.) Would have been a very good way to differentiate from Chrome, as Google wouldn't want that available for Youtube. And "our browser can download videos and images from anywhere" is pretty easy to sell for potential users.

Well, we started talking about drug policy. If you would like to do a comparison between American and European right across a range of issues, then I will subscribe to your newsletter :)

But at any rate, I think European healthcare systems either cost as much as the US (e.g. in Switzerland), end up being two-tier public/private (Czechia), or are near collapse (the NHS).

Union density is higher in the US than in France. French unions make a lot of noise, but don't represent that many people. Unions in many other countries are not very powerful (and the mainstream right is generally opposed to them).

I think there's a way these things are presented for the outside world, that doesn't always match the reality on the ground. I also think there is a tendency for people to pick the example out of a group of 28 countries that best supports their argument in the moment: Swedish unions, Swiss trains and French retirement, as it were.
Eh, there's pretty famous examples that don't.

For instance, the RPi5 cut out the H.264 decoders versus previous gens, and now only do H.265 decoding in hardware.

If people prefer to install apps from Apple's store they're free to do so. That doesn't require them to prohibit other stores -- let the customer choose.

> the huge variety of apps available definitely contributed to the iPhone’s success; see the Windows phone for an example of a phone without a good App Store.

You're referring to the platform's selection of available apps. That is something different than the method of distributing them or whether it has competitors.

Our housing market typically "lags" national markets by a few years (up & downs); but the recent whiplash effect has made the median homesale about 2x what it was in 2020. Also, inventory is lagging massively, and NIMBYism has prevented recent citywide attempts at allowing ADU's / increased density (e.g. see St.Elmo Historic District, which even though part of Chattanooga, exempts itself from most density rules by "being historic" — BS).
