It looks like they defined what they meant by “normally” elsewhere in their comment. Why edit them down to one word? Seems like that is bound to lose important context.

Yeah it's definitely more than just monetary phenomena. I'd argue that bad fiscal policy makes it happen and jiggering the money supply is what we do to fix mistakes by terrible leadership, but that's certainly also an oversimplification.
> Why didn't Masimo counter Apple's offers and pay their employees what they are worth?

Was Apple paying them what they were worth, or did they pay them more than they were worth in order to damage Masimo? I don't think we know enough to say one way or the other. There must be some level at which poaching employees with inflated salaries crosses the line into anticompetitive territory.

Masimo is a profitable company, but that doesn't mean they can survive a bidding war against Apple.

Well I haven't systematically recorded the instances and cross referenced it against the prevalence of dog presence, obviously. Nor do I feel the need to. It's ubiquitous and absolutely not accidental, at least in most cases. The only two possible explanations I can think of are that a) people are under the impression that forests have janitorial staff that will collect the bags or b) they believe that the bags will somehow keep the environment "cleaner" by containing the germs?
Sounds like a rollplayer, not a roleplayer.
I would readily agree with you (part of PLA, recruiting brightest minds with RoboMasters competition to build future AI driven drone swarms), except for the fact DJI sells top quality products at bottom dollar prices. If anything DJI is flooding the market with product so good and cheap it destroys any potential margins for western suppliers, forcing companies like Skydio into expensive niches.

Same thing is happening with high quality cameras, Im sure GoPro is not happy, and neither is Blackmagic.
I agree. And for this reason I also think that people show hypocrisy when blocking ads on YouTube, saying that they support creators via other channels. Because everyone cares about price, and supporting creators individually gets expensive fast.
> Figma’s founding vision was to “eliminate the gap between imagination and reality.”

While this is the first time I’ve seen their vision written down, it feels like they’ve done a great job in fulfilling this initially for software product design. Excited to see what comes with a renewed independent focus!
The fact that one company had a chat bot mis-configured doesn't mean they all are useless.

There are a lot of lonely people who call companies just to have a chat with a human. There are a lot of lazy and/or stupid people who call companies for stuff that can be done online or on an app. There are a lot of people calling companies for information that is available online. Chat bots prevent a ton of time wasted for call center operators.

The people who buy Apple products or subscribe to Apple services already paid for Apple's infrastructure and services.

Beeper (theoretically) exists to allow Android users to communicate with iPhone users, so one of the two users in the conversation already gave Apple hundreds of dollars. They'll survive.
Sure, but those costs (including land costs) are reduced with triplexes/quadplexes/townhomes, which require moving a mountain to get approved in most zoning districts.
Google's True Moonshot
I guess the field I was imagining was greener than that. But yes.

In many cases you can just interface to the C libraries. But cross language coding has never been perfect, and yes, sometimes it's better to continue using the same language.

It's not hard to write an RAII wrapper around a C library, and the careful allocate/free is code you have to write either way (e.g. I'd write a wrapper in C++ if I need to use a C library with resource handling).

C is the easiest to interface with. Every language has to be C-compatible.

I would not choose C or C++ just because I depend on libfftw, or simdjson, or most other things. If the code that needs to talk to the library is less than 10% of the total program (exact percentage just made up), then I'd still use Rust.

Yes, 100%. I DMed during the 3 and 3.5 era, and the “bullshit player option supplements” were a major problem. Players want to ask for the most out of pocket stuff they pick up from the splatbooks. It was beyond difficult to build a coherent party of players when everyone was using radically different concepts to build their characters. Game balance went out the window. 3 and 3.5 had terrible game balance to begin with, but once you bring in books like Exalted Deeds, it was even worse.

4E fixed a ton of problems here. Character classes were much more balanced and there were not many supplements with new classes and options—partly because it takes a ton of effort to make a new 4E class.
I think to avoid ambiguity it should be always written as social media platform called "X" (formerly known as Twitter). I don't think I will ever be able to get used to the name.

If apple wants to shut down beeper, there is a very very very easy way.
Release iMessage for android.
And suddenly beeper is dead overnight.
All they have to do is build the product people want.
In my experience, it only really works if you do it within 5 minutes or so — but if you do it's absolutely magical.

It's even better for bee stings.
Batching helps throughput and anyone running in production will be doing batching.

Investors give Apple 500x more value than their opponent in this battle. I mean market cap (or maybe the more accurate enterprise value) is a pretty ordinary way or comparing the size of companies.

Apple could acquire Masimo in a stock swap and it would be barely a blip on their share dilution.
Yes, it's quite possible twitter platforming certain unsavory people is part of the reason the EU is perusing litigation, but that also somewhat de-legitimizes this action as a legalistic inquiry.

As an aside, the idea of "disinformation" is fundamentally political/partisan because it defines a grouping of conflicting people and ideas. Furthermore, one of the core principles of liberalism is that people in a society will never be able to agree on "hard questions" (i.e. religion, culture, values, economic system) so the government should not take stances on them. If the EU is a liberal institution, then it is totally contrary to be perusing something as arbitrary and difficult as defining what is and isn't "disinformation". They should be leaving that to individuals and private organizations.

Oh I'm not referring to road trips here, they've been mostly fine in my EV. The issue is for people without a garage or a readily accessible charger then can use. My brother lives in Brighton, MA, and to charge his car he'd need to go out of his way to find a CCS charger and then sit there for 40 minutes about once a week. It just removes an EV as an option unless he moves elsewhere.

> To get more Ukrainians killed for no gain of territory?

How do you see alternative options?

I don't see "okay guys, let's wrap it up" as a thing invaders will accept. It will also mean "you will never return home" or "your family is under occupational regime right now, good luck" for a lot of locals, and that's unlikely this option will be accepted by them.

I think some context may help. Russian government media clearly wrote that Ukrainians should be eradicated as the idea with language forbidden (they say it's "Russian spoiled by Polish" and civilians "suffering the hardships of occupation for the support of nazi regime (with further clarification that everyone is a supporter)". I'm not paraphrasing or exaggerating. I'm almost quoting.

So it's not like they plan to stop on "already captured territories". It would be more of a delay before the next round, like the past few years long ceasefire before 2022. This way the question gets reduced to "at what rate do you want to see your country being dismantled?".

> EU should really put more cash on table to help UA.

More high-tech weaponry like rockets, drones and other stuff will lead to lesser Ukrainian casualties with bigger territorial gains, so that's a better option compared to the current state of things.

Large scale wars usually go on until one of the sides can't continue anymore. Ukrainian government don't have plans to stop anytime soon and surrender may shatter the rest of the country in multiple ways, effectively ending somewhat normal functioning for years or decades to come. Also, military draft goes on and enlisted soldiers will go to battle. So it would be nice and wise to give them some technological advantage.

> People talk lightly about the lives of others when its not theirs on the line

Also, people talk lightly about giving up territory when it's not the territory with their homes on the line.
The amount of money was increased by a factor of 6 since 2008:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/BOGMBASE

The amount of products and service we produce probably did not.

Most people think that M0 is only a small factor in price increase and other factors like credit given by banks, the speed at which money moves and spending/saving behavior play a bigger role. But I doubt that. To me, it seems those are all indirect, delayed outcomes of the money supply. So we don't see the prices increase linearly and instantly with the increase of the monetary base. But we see it eventually.
Hauser was made more famous by Werner Herzog's dramatization of his life "Jeder für sich und Gott gegen alle" (English release: "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser"). Herzog was seemingly so taken with the story that he gave his own autobiography the same title.
I don't get the angle from these lawmakers. Beeper could be doing nothing illegal, but Apple has every right to block unwanted access to their server. Just as Reddit has the right to block all third-party clients and YouTube has every right to block ad-block users.

I thought what Beeper did was fun at first, but now I consider their work dangerous, since it rationalizes a push for remote attestation, which is what Apple has been meaning to do for a long time. Now they have a valid reason to fully utilize it, after which Google may try to follow suit and probably face less backlashes.
OH yeah, thank you for saying that. Gemini was a short 1 month obsession of mine. I just hit this brick wall of "... oh... this is it?".

I do think HTML is a fun standard though. There's so much "big business productization" chained to it. Web companies announce updates to frameworks as if it's an apple keynote now. I think that gives a false impression of the "bones" of the web though. HTML/CSS is still fun! :) Nothing beats the visual-focus and short lag time between code->website in browser.
Apple can be a very insular; just license the technology!
The problem is that Photoshop is actually pretty good (although Affinity definitely gives it a run for its money and is as good for simple things).
To be fair I’ve never heard Helion explicitly claim they invented direct energy capture, that was my interpretation only, not anything from their PR. I’m not aware of it ever being used in a commercial power reactor design until now.
I'm surprised by the cost. Is it really $23/month in the United States? I paid €13.50 a month, which seems to be about $14.50 for the ad-free level. And even that is a big price increase on what it used to be, which is why I unsubscribed...
It looks like their service only works on MacOS, which means they're probably just using the local iMessage db like others have done. They're not integrating with the API or providing access for other platforms, it's a totally different (and limited) solution.

If you have a Mac sitting around, airmessage.org has made this work cross platform for a while now.
It was suggested to my wife to get our daughter's tongue tie taken care of when she had trouble with breastfeeding. I said it sounded like bullshit with no scientific basis, but we were desperate parents with little recourse and lactation consultants were unhelpful with suggestions like suffocate your baby with your breast until they latch. So I said if she felt like it would help she could do it, because sometimes science doesn't have all the answers. It didn't help, and our child still struggled with breastfeeding. I felt really angry at the medical establishment after that, and my feelings towards the medical establishment have not improved. This is just the first incident in which the medical establishment failed my daughter, and I think that pediatric care in this country is in absolute shambles. The only thing I can figure is that the doctors who go on to become pediatricians must not have been good at any other specialties so they decided to work with children because they couldn't screw it up too badly. Remember, this is still the same field where doctor's claimed babies couldn't feel pain until the 90s.
I don't even know why Catholic leadership even bothers keeping this up. We completely ignore most of our holy text anyway and plenty of Catholic priests will perform gay marriages against the will of the Vatican. There's as much theological backing to support same sex marriage is there is to call it sinful.

Jesus didn't really say anything about it, the best you can say is that when he talked about marriage (which was sparsely little) he only mentioned men and women but that's not really the same as exclusion. And given the rest of what we know about Jesus he totally would have married two dudes if he had ran into a couple asking for the sacrament.

The Bible is full of examples of gender nonconformity Jacob & Esau, Deborah, Tryphaina and Tryphosa, Euhodia and Syntyche. To say look at all these women taking on male roles and men taking on female roles and it being totally fine but then saying no no you can't do that for marriage (or the priesthood) is drawing a line for no reason. A man taking the role of a wife or a woman taking the role of a husband isn't really out of line for the bible.
Is this data taking into account language differences? Most people would Google such things in their native language.
How much of that cost is the browser vs the cost of the browser engine?

Servo currently describes itself as a "web rendering engine", so I don't think they are aiming to become a full-featured browser, and I'm not sure if there is an important distinction between "browser engine" vs "web rendering engine". It makes it sound like they only want to focus on the rendering part itself.

Dropbox has hidden third party AI settings, not disabled them
You are probably aware of the Dropbox third party AI sharing kerfuffle discussed last week.

If you login to your Dropbox account today you will see that the AI sharing tab in account settings is no longer visible.

This morning, through my university's IT contacts with Dropbox, we learned that the AI settings have now been hidden but are NOT off by default.

This is highly concerning and suggests that Dropbox is trying to sweep this issue under the rug rather than address the real privacy concerns that their AI sharing raises.

I can't find the essay now, but I once read a very well argued historical essay that put forward the theory that the reason that the church focused _so much_ on homosexuality is that because priests are supposedly _celibate_ and had to swear off relationships with women, a large percentage of priests were (and are) gay, and so it seemed to the church organization that homosexuality was both far more prevalent than it was and also an that it was an urge that was especially hard to suppress.

You should learn about the Gemini protocol! It's an alternative to HTTPS that uses a document markup language similar to Markdown instead of HTML, and uses a deliberately simplified, feature-frozen protocol with the explicit goal that anyone should be able to write their own Gemini browser "in a weekend". No scripting or styling support, just documents with links and images in them.

Here are some informative webpages on the topic, neither of them mine:

Alright. Where I live, phone numbers are public info and not secret so here they are not used when authenticating yourself against a bank or similar.

Using a phone _number_ to authenticate yourself against the government seems completely bizarre to me.

I understand that leakage of phone numbers become a problem if you use them for those kinds of things. But honestly, using them for authentication seems crazy from a security point of view.

Yeah, interesting, good answer! I think that is the answer, and it actually does make sense to me. Often while gathering data I develop a better intuition for what I'm unable to gather data on, which definitely impacts my gut feel for things. The available data might point in one direction, intuition about the unavailable data might point the other way.
