I have been travelling through Latin America, going through Cancun, Bogota, Lima and Buenos Aires, spent a few weeks in each city. I've been walking around these cities a lot, including at night. I've never seen any people who looked dangerous or felt afraid for my safety.

I really think that a lot of stereotypes about the region are outdated by about 20 or 30 years by this point.
> Our obsession with being informed makes it hard to think long-term.

The news today is what history is tomorrow. You can frame it as not being able to think long-term, but it just smells like fresh history-making to me.
Hot take: if you ever started again you never quit. Maybe you gave it up, but not quit.
He said that about the Model 3 as well. Turned out he was wrong, as any automotive manufacturing engineer would have told him.
Somehow, this really resonates with me. I have used an Apple Watch off and on the last three years. While I have no problem keeping it charged, doing so is still a chore. When I wake up, I remove my iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch from the charger. Some mornings it feels like my sole purpose in life is to dress myself in technology and while keeping the various integrated batteries topped off. I got the watch for the fitness functions and because I love technology. And the fitness functions are really good, closing rings have had me exercise more than I would otherwise. The problem I have with the Apple Watch is that it makes it really awkward to wear a real watch, one of the few pieces of jewellery that I as a feel confident wearing. Double wristing is not for me. It is a marvellous piece of technology can be really useful, but it limits me more than it enables me.
> Monopolies aren’t illegal. Only the abuse of a monopoly position to advance your interest in other markets is illegal.

So for example, if you had a dominant market position for a particular category of phone operating systems, and you wanted to advance your interest in the market for app distribution...
⿸广マ is indeed a shorthand for multiple characters due to its phono-semantic construction, but many simplification attempts also had similar ambiguities. ⿸广マ in this sense is just a new character that has multiple meanings from the context. Z-variants merged by the CJK unification are much more subtle than this example.
вє¢αυѕє ιт ƒєєℓѕ ℓιкє яєα∂ιηg єηgℓιѕн тєχт тнαт ℓσσкѕ ℓιкє тнιѕ! It might still be legible, but in some contexts (e.g. official) it's reasonable to want your language to be accurately represented.

Not to mention sometimes you also get kana displaying in a Japanese font and kanji displaying in a stylistically different Chinese font and it looks awful.
Unless Apple has a most favored nation clause—another legal practice that should be outlawed
"Housing first" isn't the belief that providing a house "on its own is some kind of solution". It's the belief and practice of not refusing to provide housing support until people meet certain criteria – which is often how governments approach the problem.

"We only help those who help themselves", etc.

You get people a safe place to sleep and then provide them with resources to become re-integrated into society, not the other way around.
If you are in the US, the same is true of your social security number.

But good luck with that.
Because Republicans are trying to curry favor with everyone. Hard-liners like myself believe that abortion at any stage is morally equivalent to homicide—only acceptable if the life of the mother is also at risk. The 6 week ban doesn't actually solve the problem, just delivers a pyrrhic victory to win votes.
Maybe if they werent constantly cycling through erratic meth benders and on a constant search to steal enough to afford their next high, they might have a better chance at affording housing. Im all for housing those who need it. And housing is too expensive in cities, but the meth/fent addict who cant even manage to keep their pants on has more severe problems than the going rate on a studio apartment.
This exploit doesn’t rely on knowing the contents of the notifications necessarily.

Some notifications aren’t encrypted and they’re obviously more exploitable.

But in this case, just the use of the unencrypted metadata is enough to narrow down people of interest. So even if you don’t know what it contains, you can still get valuable information like general location and usage patterns by effectively just observing that the notification happened and how it was handled.

There are also are intl trade agreements that outlaw favouring domestic companies that the USA enormously benefits from.
I don't have this problem in practise. It's not "break flow to switch modes" for me. I don't type this way. There's always as much movement as there's typing, especially while programming. Even when writing prose I exit the insert mode each time I think of what to write next making this always a good "undo point".

If I make a typo while in the insert mode I just remove last character or last word. I guess you could argue that this is something that undo should also cover but I don't see much need for that.

I'm not in the insert mode, exiting to normal mode for movement and undo. I'm in the normal mode entering insert mode to write.
> The information you consume today becomes the raw material of your thoughts tomorrow. If you want to change your thoughts, start with the information you consume.

> What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention

I fully agree, but even after not reading/watching 90% of the news, I still feel like checking HN or watching the 17:00 news

I know that (audio)books and podcasts are way more informative, and I enjoy reading or listening a lot, but still, the news is simply addictive.
Especially since Google had always had the AOSP as a reasonable way of demonstrating their commitment to the industry as a whole disjoint from the places where they thought the Google ecosystem provided extra value (which they admittedly require you to take wholesale)
If you don't mind being unable to engage with your peers on anything except historical matters.

If you don't e.g. mind being unaware of the local situation, which goes to preparedness. -By all means don't read news outside of tornado season, and don't mind being caught up in current affairs with no situational awareness.

If you don't mind abrogating decision making to others, where you have some locus of control. If you have no locus of control in the situation then being un-informed is almost exactly what those who do have some levers, wish.

Certainly, reading "news" as "olds" is somewhat easier on the mind. perhaps we're just disagreeing about how old you should leave it to be.
I don't know how the justice in US works, but I do think precedents matter there. Is it possible for others to sue Google using this case as an legal argument?
Are the results that bad? Or are the results exactly the same but more visible (i.e. homeless addicts are not just being hidden below the concrete of highway interexchange instead of being able to live in the city center)?
It works perfectly for me on Android. It even works with my phone's system language set to English, with Japanese as a fallback.
> Apple doesn’t offer an App Store market and never has nor ever represented otherwise, the app store is and always has been part of the operating system.

"Apple doesn't offer an App Store market" is just assuming the conclusion. Nobody expects you to get competing app stores from Apple -- you get them from Apple's competitors. What Apple ought to be in trouble for is interfering with their operating system customers' ability to patronize competing app stores.
My point is the same. Your text should be recorded and displayed as you entered it, especially when that can lead to confusion.

Here is my favorite quote of all time and not just because I agree wholeheartedly. Try to guess who the quote is from and fron when.

> Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live & die in the belief, that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time; whereas the accounts they have read in newspapers are just as true a history of any other period of the world as of the present, except that the real names of the day are affixed to their fables. General facts may indeed be collected from them, such as that Europe is now at war, that Bonaparte has been a successful warrior, that he has subjected a great portion of Europe to his will, &c., &c.; but no details can be relied on. I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.

One thing all these cities with catastrophic street drug use have in common is also bonkers housing crisis.

That's the closest thing to hard data we have. The only difference would be if there's some difference in tendencies between iOS and Android users to use the web versus an app.

The codepoint mentioned in the article, U+5203, is a perfect example: in most of the world it will display in Simplified Chinese, whereas there's a counterpart U+2F81E that (in practice if not in theory) can be used to reliably display in Traditional Chinese. Only the Japanese rendering doesn't have a codepoint and is forced to use out-of-band methods of indicating the desired appearance.
The benefit is data ownership instead of sending it off to a third-party who does God knows what to it.
Awful at worst, I should say. And as others said, correct uses of `lang` attributes and system-default preferences alleviate most stylistic issues. It looks awful only when applications have a mismatching preference (e.g. Japanese websites that never think about Chinese users).
I'm just saying that's JD's perspective on this issue.

Personally I think they're milking it for extra profit when they could be establishing a better relationship with their customers.
Bucks are free, just print them. Wait, no, money are digital now, press a button and make money numbers.
The issue is that the language is not accurately represented – imagine in English instead of the Latin letter "a" you see the Greek letter "α". It's still legible but it's not unreasonable to ask for an accurate depiction of a language.
Apple makes a TRUCKLOAD of money off of their 30%.
I'm not saying I agree with JD, just explaining their reasoning.

The comment from the author's original post is quite the non-answer.

"Side note: many people always ask ‘what do you think Apple is going to do about this?’ To be honest, I am shocked that everyone is so shocked by the sheer existence of a 3rd party iMessage client. The internet has always had 3rd party clients! It’s almost like people have forgotten that iChat (the app that iMessage grew out of) was itself a multi-protocol chat app! It supported AIM, Jabber and Google talk. Here’s a blast from the past: https://i.imgur.com/k6rmOgq.png."

What did they think was going to happen? Who knows? But I guess they thought it was no big deal.
Their CEO compared using Linux to moving to Canada (which historically was done to avoid military drafts). Not only did he insult an entire country, but he also implied that supporting Linux was the act of a coward.
It’s pretty interesting to read what’s basically a long series of substantive empirical claims without a single citation. All the evidence necessary to support this argument is furnished entirely within the series of loosely-connected ideas and free-associations - an incredible feat for any article, much less a stream-of consciousness. Wow!

If we existed in a world where “News doesn’t make you more informed; it just makes you more confident the information you have is all there is.” was something that could be false, it would probably be Not Good to present it as true and move on here. Luckily, since this is an an obvious analytic truth, the author is right to simply say it and move on. As a suggestion to the author, it would be helpful to list all the propositions which need to be justifiable a priori for his argument to be justified (in this case all of them), so that readers can know whether or not to take him seriously at first glance.
Seatac never had it. You actually had to go to Boeing field. That's where I got mine.

Interestingly the history of the Italian version of that page has no mention of the doge meme. However what's a doge (the political title) is common knowledge and it's studied at school. The meme is also common knowledge up to some age classes and it's undoubtedly passed on at school too.

Ironically, iMessage is not that common in Europe. WhatsApp and Facebook messenger won the game here (but they are also targeted by EU).

Anyway, I hope for Apple that they have numbers proving that this bullshit strategy really makes them sell more iPhones because it makes them look really stupid. In any sane society, nobody cares about the color of a bubble, in fact, as an iPhone user, I blame more Apple for the lack of basic SMS features than of the bubble color. I’d be a stupid friend if I pressured my friends to get a blue bubble, that’s insane.
Epic is not a Chinese company. I'm not sure why people think it is just because some Chinese investors bought shares.

If you can get Claude approved.
The first Japanese character set was JIS X 0201, which only had half-width katakanas. It is absurd in the modern standard, lacking all hiragana and kanji, and looks really awful (so much that they are used for comical effects today). I'd argue that JIS X 0201 is an extremely radical attempt compared to the Han unification---so why should the Han unification be blamed alone?

Have you ever lived next to a place with beavers? I don't recommended it.

First, if you have a pond beavers will come over at night and dig holes the width of a basketball about a meter from the edge of the pond into the water (vertically down, then sideways). They camouflage these holes or they simply overgrow, good luck to an unsuspecting human that had his/her leg fall into such a deep hole.

Then, they dig such holes and passages into earthworks designed as flood defenses. Huge amount of money goes into fixing such earthworks.

Finally, if you(or anyone nearby) happen to have drainage channels or small rivers, these will be blocked by beavers to the point of flooding the surrounding area. Various compensation schemes exist, but not everyone has documentation to use them.

Fibally,a braver can be a very dangerous animal when startled/provoked/cornered. Around here every person is told in their youth, "don't approach beavers" or if they bite you in the leg (usually groin area) you'll bled out in 20s.

No, beavers are not nice... If course they shouldn't be eradicated, but they should be managed properly, not enjoy 100% protection as they do here in Poland, for example.
Another fun complication with this is that ttf, otf, and woff all have a limit of 2^16 glyphs. Which isn't enough to include separate glyphs for all characters in all three locales, especially if you include ligatures. This is why some fonts, such as Noto have separate font files for Chinese, Japanes, and Korean.

It can also be problematic if you want to include japanese and chinese ideographs in the same document.

The rest of your post is in a similar finger-pointing parent-telling-their-child-how-the-world-works mode, but the first line is already wrong. The world is a lot bigger then just historical facts and what CNN is currently telling you. I can easily interact with my "peers" without talking about history or COVID, thank you. I am pretty saddened that you believe otherwise.
Because the few people I knew in real life that did it died and all the people I know that didn't do it are still alive. One of them was a single mom and left a 12 year old alone.

If you ask that guy who is today an adult, I can tell you he doesn't have second thoughts and would probably punch you in the face if you told him that heroine had no bad effects.

Students from other countries who do not have a good learning experience in their universities can “create their own CS degree” by taking these courses. However, even though you can learn almost everything that you would learn in a university from these courses, what really matters are your networking and your school name on your resume when you are looking for internships.

You can read the info just b4 voting instead of submerging in all the madness all year.

It's also funny how you've written 'unable to engage with peers on anything except history'. Like, do you speak with your peers only abt news and history? When we gather with friends we discuss many personal things too, and some news too, but not bc we follow them, but bc news were so big that these got to us through another channels indirectly.

Being aware with local situation is strange too. Except from some big things that directly impact me, why I should be aware about the things in the city? Most of the time it's just irrelevant except some strikes of the public service workers or some festivals?

There are ways to read news by using an rss+ some llm combo to filter out irrelevant things but it's too cumbersome
