Epic agreed to no jury trial in the Apple case. They requested one for this Google case. I imagine they knew the battle against Apple was a much bigger hill given the lack of any evidence of direct harm to Epic, besides in the payment processors argument (which Epic won).
The study in your first link seems fatally flawed. They should compare photos of Android vs. iPhone users with their phones in the frame vs. photos without phones. It could just be that iPhone users are more likely to be fashionistas, and Android users are more likely to be schlubs. Or that iPhone users are just richer, and wealth is attractive more generally.

The mental gymnastics outplay here are wild.

Google is anticompetitive because they allowed users to install third party apps, but paid big players not to develop app stores.

But if they had just done what Apple does, and just ban third party installs all together, that'd be what? Hyper competitive and fair?

It absolutely pains me to see Google essentially punished for having the only phone platform that allows users to install their own apps.
Why is that a problem? A hijacker getting into the cockpit at that point can't really do all that much. The wheels are still blocked, and no tug is going to come along and push you back from the gate. There are likely still fuel lines and other umbilicals connected to the plane, not to mention the jet bridge. A flight attendant or other airline employee could pop down into the avionics bay (there are often access points outside the cockpit and even external to the plane) and start disconnecting things, making it really hard to get that plane moving.

And even if you could get past that, no one at ATC is going to give you taxi, runway, or takeoff clearance. I guess you could just go anyway, and of course ATC will get other planes out of your way, since that's the safest thing to do, but in all the time it takes for you to taxi and take off, the nearest Air Force base will have a lot of time to scramble a fighter to take you out as soon as you're airborne... or perhaps even before you take off.

I was thinking about this the other day as well, I wonder how much pet ownership in general also has a direct impact on fertility. Not fertility rates (as in, couples choosing not to have kids get pets instead), but rather toxoplasmosis effects. One counterpoint is that in previous decades, many families in certain western countries had some sort of pet but also had many children, but I wonder if living spaces becoming smaller (esp in cities) has amplified a minor effect.

Anecdotally (tiny sample size of course), we know several couples trying without success, but those without pets seem to get pregnant moreso than those with.

I thought the drug laws in question were, or rather had to be, enacted at the state level. Why does the issue seem to be most pronounced in Portland but not as significant in the rest of Oregon?

What would be different if the experiment was done on a national scale? It seems to me that you would still see the worst impacts confined to a few major cities. I would hypothesize that other factors come into play like lax enforcement/penalties for petty crime, availability of free support services, and general sentiment/tolerance of degeneracy (though it sounds like that is changing.)

Sociologists recently performed a large multi-region study of homelessness, drug use, etc.

It turns out that there’s no real correlation between having drug addicts on the streets and the level of drug use in the area or even mental illness. Unemployment doesn’t even predict homelessness, and neither does weather, or laws pertaining to the homeless.

By far, the best predictor is housing affordability and availability.

I wonder how this may have impacted world history. Something along the lines of humans have grain storage >> rats are attracted to grain >> cats are attracted to rats >> humans are attracted to cats >> human populations with cats become slightly more schizoaffective (which in most premodern societies is not really pathological) >> these societies commune with the divine more/tell the future/develop more complex religious institutions >> these religious institutions help stabilize society

This could lead to real Play Store competition. I think that's grand. I'm familiar with managing multiple app stores because I'm a Samsung user and there's been an integrated Galaxy Store on every phone I've had going back at least 10 years now. There's nothing wrong with the experience. I've still got the Play Store, which is front and center, presumably because Google is making it worth Samsung's while. I've gone back and forth between having apps installed from one, both, or the other only and right now I'm on Play Store only (but Samsung's Android skin, OneUI and various Samsung apps and services update through that Samsung path.)

This is not a big deal. Multiple or alternative stores should be the norm, and celebrated.

That's a (very) simple way to describe what rqlite mostly does (and similar systems, many of which are listed below), though it depends on how "quickly" you want it.

Bad assumption. It's an integer for all b=0, for a start.

Also, among the multiples of √3, as you keep picking higher and higher values of b, you'll keep finding results that are closer and closer to (but never equal to) integers. And from them, you can choose any value of a to get a result equally close to any other integer. So you can also find an infinite number of combinations of an and nonzero b that get you arbitrarily close to any integer.

The formulation for the Einstein tile grid points uses integer a and b, so those are the only cases of interest ('irrational' a or b doesn't matter)

In the context of the Einstein grid, go look at the tiles and it makes sense. They have sides that are integer multiples of a unit length. They have 90 degree angles in them. So you can place them up against each other so you can walk along the edges taking only integer steps and 90 degree turns - staying on the integer cartesian grid.

But once the tiling forces you to take one of the 120° angles you veer off at an angle and you're going to be an irrational distance from the grid. You might then find yourself turning back onto the grid and moving integer steps again - but those will not bring you back to the gridlines. To get back to the grid you have to take exactly the same number of irrational steps in the opposite direction.

It makes a lot of sense to me. If a kid keeps breaking something, stop giving it to him.

Kids (and adults) often have an impulse to make problems worse once they know they are in trouble. If they don’t have the opportunity to do that then there is a shorter path to calm down and talk.

Like if you know your kid cheated on a test, don’t ask them if they cheated and give them a chance to lie. Just start by saying you know they cheated and why.

Is there a current meta for OpenBSD exploit developers?

What's the right way to go about hardening the system if there's no meta to observe?

My very naive take would be something like: A successful exploit depends on jumping through a number of different hoops. Each of those hoops has an estimated success probability associated with it. We can multiply all the individual probabilities together to get an estimated probability of successful exploit -- assuming that hoop probabilities are independent, which seems reasonable? The most efficient way to harden against exploits is to try and shrink whichever hoop possesses the greatest partial derivative of overall exploit success probability with respect to developer time.
I could certainly agree with that. Just take a page out of alcohol management. Many cities across the world already have pretty strict laws against public alcohol use. And they send more police to places where drunks are more likely to congregate and cause issues, like around bars at Saturday and Sunday.

What’s an unmentioned but relevant issue to me is how things like MDMA and ketamine (users are less harmed and harmful than with alcohol) are lumped in with hardcore opioid and meth abuse. There’s “hard”drugs and then there’s HARDdrugs.

I’d rather see the really hardcore stuff not even sold in specialized stores with the other stuff, but rather directly distributed through places similar to methadone clinics. They can give whoever wants the drug the full PR on how this substance very likely will get a grip on you and demolish your life. Clinics themselves are quite grim, making the whole atmosphere around recreational use less enticing. And you can put a higher age limit like 21 or even 24 on it.
It’s okay — everyone else seems to be dropping the ball, too. And Tesla bought itself a great deal of time while literally every competitor in the US market fumbles the transition to NACS / SAE J3400. I’m cautiously optimistic that TELO’s offering will end up filling the need of people who want minivans. Or maybe Rivian will be inspired to make a smaller and more van-shaped R1S.

(Damn it, CEOs of competitors: don’t wait for the final SAE publication and for the UL to figure out whatever weird paperwork they want and for whatever else you’re waiting for. Tesla launched this thing (apparently mildly different on a protocol level but physically identical) over a decade ago. If you need to, sells cars with two entirely separate charge ports, and make the NACS port modular just in case you screw up and need to replace it. But stop pretending like waiting until 2025 for launch makes sense, and stop telling customers that it won’t be annoying to be stuck using an adapter to charge the car.)

The level of regulation is only a small part of what makes a market free or not

I don't know if you remember the days where each phone had it own OS. It sucked, and beside playing snake there wasn't much you could do with it.

you got to take things in context, the current market for mobile OSes is a duopoly shared between apple and Google, there were two cases against each of them, but the outcome for each one them was different.

One verdict was that apple get to stay the dictator in its fiefdom and the other, more open platform got punished for trying to do the exact same thing.

What every company will take away from this is that, they either got to go full throttle on the control or no throttle at all.

Guess which side the companies like when given an ultimatum between theses 2 choices?

Is it possible for someone to make a better store than Google ? sure, I don't think any one is arguing that.

Friend of mine worked in an adjacent industry (not TSA, not in the US even, for a contractor doing "mystery passenger" testing for major airlines I believe. Many countries require airlines to do their own checks at departure for international incoming flights, and levy big fines if a traveler with invalid documents is let through, so airlines do care about this a great deal.

He once tried to travel internationally without a Passport / ID, I don't remember if this was within Schengen or not. He had a sob story about his mother dying and him trying to get home to her funeral. He was let through, partly because of people believing him, partly because of incompetence and people just not checking. A good few employees were sacked because of this.
Although this isn't about the 6502, this reminds me of how I had to write x86_64 assembly for class, and was trying to use LEA to avoid a multiplication. After I wrote it, I wondered if the compiler did the same thing I did, but it didn't; the compiler's version used a register unnecessarily. Compare:

;; Goal: r8 := 10 * r9

;; Mine:
;; 10x = x + 9x
;; 9x = x + 8x
lea r8, [r9 + 8 * r9]
add r8, r9

;; Compiler's code:
;; 10x = 2 * 5x = 5x + 5x
;; 5x = x + 4x
lea rdi, [r9 + 4 * r9]
lea r8, [rdi + rdi]

At first, I wondered why the compiler introduced a temporary.

However, I had just done the exercises from the book The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs that ask you to create recursive and iterative routines that multiply integers through successive doubling and halving, by taking advantage of the fact that Cx = C + (C - 1)x, if C is odd, and Cx = 2 * (C / 2)x, if C is even (although that's not exactly how they explained it; I don't perfectly remember and I don't feel like looking it up, even though this wasn't that long ago).

I realized: the compiler must be using a variant of the Russian peasant method of multiplication (which was the name of the method, as the book had explained) as a form of strength reduction. I was impressed, but I also realized that this meant that it was suboptimal for minimizing temporary registers. However, I couldn't think of some algorithm that would multiply it the way I did when I wrote that assembly, since I hadn't really had an algorithm in mind when writing it.

On the contrary the epidemiological interpretation of the study's conclusion would be aligned with the chosen headline, for once.

"Kids with cats have double the risk of developing schizophrenia" seems to line up with the study's conclusion that "Our findings support an association between cat exposure and an increased risk of broadly defined schizophrenia-related disorders". The odds ratio is greater than 2 which translates into a doubling of the risk (eg odds) and >25 years is an excursion criteria. The lower bound CI is > 1 so it's likely to be a real association. PLE is Psychotic Like Experiences that seems to be a broader definition, which does not have a significant association. This can be due to lack of studies with said definition or imply that the effect is specific to schizophrenia-related disorders. However, the causality part is not investigated.
