It does apply. Assuming a baseline(e. g. "literate English" or "colorblind primate"), a UX designer should be able to create an interface that allows for the engineered function to operate should the operating entity desire that action by a mixture of prior shared knowledge and novel information. If the designer is unable to fully convey the functionality, then to some degree, the designer did fail.
FWIW this works with American hotels, too. Some bad reviews are normal. Lots of bad reviews all saying the same thing? That's bad news.
> We protect far more valuable property with far less fancy mechanisms.

I cannot name a single thing I own that is more valuable than the information contained in my electronic devices.

You could steal the contents of my house and the building materials and it still would not be more valuable.
OP’s article is a good start. For avionics, look up DO-178C, Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification.
On a personal level I feel the same strains, but all sources I’m finding have median wages rising more than median rent since 2020 and certainly since 2021.

However, that would not be true for buying a home especially when factoring in borrowing costs.

Off the top of my head, I foresee two problems with this:

1. It’s a big (10+ cm diameter) evacuated, inflexible tube. Not fun to install over long distances.

2. It’s big — many many wavelengths wide. It’s surely very very far from single-mode. For classical fiber, AIUI this mostly matters because the modes propagate at slightly different speed, thus spreading a signal in time and reducing useful bandwidth. For quantum communication, if your input modes get scrambled on the way through, you need a way to unscramble them — you can’t just add up the power in each mode.

3. Again with modes (and I’m not an optics expert at all — I could be wrong here), the paper very briefly mentions the fundamental Gaussian mode and gives the tiniest bit of attention to diffraction loss. But I would expect some loss due to the fundamental mode losing some light into other modes when it gets to the next mirror, and that light getting further diffracted. ISTM this should depend on aberration, and there was no discussion of lens design to minimize this.
Easily one of the most disgusting comments I've seen on this site. Having flown into and out of the subcontinent via the Middle East dozens of times, most pax are usually not migrant workers - they're Western-emigrated Indians or their families transiting through a hub in the ME. These are not lesser passengers compared to those who ply between Europe and the Middle East only (in fact, often more well-to-do).

In any case, if you're flying with Qatar, you're flying with Qatar. It's entirely fair to judge an airline based on any route that they operate under their own name.

It's only the Middle Eastern airlines who treat subcontinent flights as "second class" routes btw, with lesser aircraft, new or low-performing crew, substandard food - and this is entirely because the airline employees that plan these routes are racist. I daresay even on ME-Europe routes South Asian passengers are treated differently by these airlines.
A corresponding author (Yao Yao) wrote an explainer of the paper, which you should read together. The paper itself is pretty cryptic.

Welcome to the world of enshittification of platforms.
I partially disagree. Just as an example, the 1-4 star reviews on Amazon are usually spot-on. It's always worth spending a minute or two to skim through those, starting with the lowest ratings first, while ignoring the 5 star reviews.
Though that was a design patent, they also got a normal patent for the pythagorean formula (they didn’t invent pinch zoom, so they patented computing the distance between two fingers from two x,y coordinates).
> basic necessities like [...] food are significantly more expensive than they were just two years ago.

Here on the farm, the price I'm getting when selling food is half of it was two years ago. If I, the farmer, am selling the food for less than two years ago, while you are paying more than two years ago, then it seems experiences are you problem – e.g. you are paying more for the experience of shopping in a grocery store.
Not to put any blame on you or anything, because rents are crazy, but median wages have risen pretty significantly over the last few years. You definitely should be looking for a raise, or a new place of work.

My theory is that the shop reset the MacBook and reported it as lost with a new Apple ID in order to extort the person//Perhaps the person didn’t want to admit it, but they actually paid money to the shop, who initially gave it back to them “unlocked”. Later the shop could lock it again by reporting it as lost, as a way to ask for more money from the person again.

Wow...

Moral of the story is never take your Apple devices for any kind of internal repair to anyone except Apple authorized shops. There's a lot of tiny device shops that do fantastic work with all kinds of phone screens, protectors, fixing broken stuff...but there's definitely some unscrupulous ones out there. Really sad that these scammy ones give the tiny hard-working little shops a bad name...:(

"La réforme oui, la chienlit, non".

The french language was never "inclusive" and doesn't need to be, it's called "courtoisie". The default is the masculine gender, that's a grammatical rule, and listing feminine gender next to it is purely a matter of courtoisie.

There is no "inclusivity" problem with the french language because there is no "inclusivity" problem to begin with, only in the head of the people specialized in making grievances a business.
Nice to see the Multics book included on the Unix (related) list.

I'd like to see a non-Unix "alternative OS classics" list to supplement the Unix list.

Maybe a non-TCP/IP/Ethernet "alternative network classics" list as well.

Since these are mostly vintage (though nice reads) I'd also like to see a list of "modern (or future) systems classics" as well.
Ultimately a professional reviewer wouldn't be so easily swayed by this kind of sleazy behavior, but this is the price for having a stack of "reviews" for every gin joint in every town in the world, all written by Joe Public. Ultimately I think the old system was better: for most restaurants or trips, the "cost" of finding out whether you personally like a place is relatively small, and for bigger outlays we had the Michelin guide, Zagat, or what have you.
If you were from the future and needed a scientific discovery to be made sooner than it was originally, how do you spur the discovery without giving up the fact that the info is from the future? How to make the discovery look totally natural without being artificially juiced? You drop an apple on someone's head? What do you do when the juicing was too simple and it was missed? You try it again until someone gets it with a different group.
Lots of platforms like gaming consoles have exclusive content where the same company is both the hardware/services owner and the content creator. What would be anticompetitive is they leveraged their position as an app platform to stunt other legitimate chat apps from gaining popularity. Beeper claims that’s what’s happening to them but their legitimacy is debatable.
For anyone that enjoyed LoTR/The Hobbit and thinks this new story might be interesting or entertaining, allow me to assure you it is not. The writing is meandering, unclear, futile expository. In a word "amateurish". Being as generous as possible, it is a poor tribute. Less generously, one might call it a lazy attempt to cash in on the legacy of JRR's universe of Middle Earth.

The writing bears no resemblance whatsoever to the grand, Elizabethan style of Tolkien.

A Year at Elon Musk's X: Twitter's Top Wildest Moments of 2023
The story is 2500+ words in two different articles, to summarize:

* The author's MacBook was lost/stolen

* Because the author hadn't set up Find My, someone else was able to reset the laptop

* When the author recovered the laptop, someone else had set up Find My and reported the laptop lost

* Because someone else had set up Find My, the author was unable to reset the laptop

* Apple refused to reset the laptop for the author, despite the author having a receipt for the laptop's original purchase

It's interesting to me, because it's actually an inversion of the whole "we don't own our devices anymore" trope. The author successfully begged Apple to backdoor an otherwise effective security and ownership protection.

Apple gave the author the tools to recover their laptop in the event it was lost or stolen, and the author consciously chose not to use those tools. Possession is 9/10ths of the law, and if you don't have Find My enabled it's 10/10ths of the law.

That means if someone else gains possession of your device, and you chose not to use Find My, there is nothing Apple can or should do to save you. How would they know who the legitimate owner is beyond possession or Find My? People sell used MacBooks all the time.

Just because the author was the original purchaser, doesn't mean they are the rightful owner. In this case I believe the author probably is the rightful owner, but I would rather Apple not be the judge of that.

This is literally only a problem for people too stubborn to set up Find My, who also care deeply about recovering their laptop if it gets lost. Think about how paradoxical that is!
This needs a comedy sketch
> He has taken a decade to take 4 provinces of Ukraine that no one in Germany cares about.

Well those provinces were taken quite quickly after he started a shooting war. Crimea was also taken fast. And things are only slowing down because we're helping Ukraine. Without our support they would have been lost already.

> At that pace he will be long dead before he gets to the German border.

Things can accelerate of course. And also, this is not how Europe works. I'm from Holland, should we not worry until he gets past you in Germany? No, we're one family. The Polish are a lot more worried than you. Moldova already has the transnistria problem.

> Mental bankruptcy sacrificing the nord stream pipeline, and industry taking a giant hit to spend time planning to defend Moldova.

The effectiveness of the sanctions were indeed debatable. But we can't keep funding a regime that is causing a war on our borders of course.

> Germans have squandered away their position of strength

Germany had no military strength to speak of, most of the equipment was down for maintenance for the last decade. In fact they are in a better place now since the threat of Russia has freed up military spending.
Google to pay $700M to US consumers, states in Play Store settlement
This comment caused me to run a thought experiment about how many grandmas a person can have. I decided the answer is exactly as you described: a bunch.
Its weird to see everything but the most correct (can't speak for legal) selection here...
From the blog post, it sounded like their benchmark relied heavily on a gem with a C extension (nokogiri). It's hard to imagine a performance improvement on code that YJIT has no control over.
They were doing much better before their cost advantaged disappeared when they had to pay local taxes, and before current interest rates whacked hosts.
I agree with this argument, but it's unrelated to taxing capital gains.

Landlords should make money for the services they provide: upkeep of the building, providing living space, etc. But real estate capital gains do not come from productive investment such as in a productivity-boosting new company. Capital gains in real estate are unproductive rentierism, and are a drain on the economy.

One thing that all economists can agree on, from Adam Smith to Ricardo to Marx, is that land rent is bad and should be taxed away. Capital gains on real estate sales are a great way to do that, while preserving profit for those who productively improve land and rent it out to others.
AppleCare is perpetually extendable now. I still have AppleCare on my 2018 MacBook Pro.
I've had a similar hypothesis, but it didn't work out for me, only bloating the codebase. Please lmk if you have a different outcome :)
This seems like a problematic patent based on two of the doctrines, both of which the courts have largely abandoned. Firstly, it’s patently obvious. The pulse ox technology in a transmissive mode is very old, and so is HRM in a reflective mode, and the only difference is in the subtleties of the engineering, none of which is reflected in the patent nor the claims. The second reason, relatedly, is the requirement for “replicability by a person of ordinary skill”. The patent reveals nothing that would enable someone to do that, and certainly doesn’t add anything to the ability of a skilled person to do so. The whole thing is just an idea, not an original one, and ideas are not supposed to be patentable.
Bluntly, it's the Law of Supply and Demand at work. With inflation, it means there's more money in the economy than the goods and services, to the value of the money goes down, i.e. inflation.

Consider an economy with 10 people in it. Now double everyone's money. The prices will all double.

Where does all this extra money come from in the US economy? Federal deficit spending. The government (through various machinations) simply creates more money to cover the deficit.

This is why the government switched to a fiat money system in 1914 - then the government can just spend whatever they want with no constraints.
It is common, standard usage precisely in this context.
The currently erupting fissures are something like 2.5 to 6 km north of the town. The town is fine*, so far, but there's obvious concern about where the lava is going to travel.

> The hacker spirit is about personal use. It's not expecting to be able to turn it into a business

I reject this idea completely. The "hacker spirit" in no way excludes doing business or making money. Hackers creating businesses to bring the benefits of their hacking to the world are the very foundation of YC who created and operate this site.

> charging for a service using another’s infrastructure

Beeper doesn't get any benefit from using Apple's infrastructure per se. The resource usage is trivial. If there was a way to go around Apple's infrastructure and communicate with Apple's iMessage users directly Beeper would be all over it and more than happy to replace all that "infrastructure" themselves at no cost to Apple.

Apple has inserted themselves between their users and the world, making it impossible for anyone to send proper group or video messages to their unchangeable default messaging app without going through Apple. Beeper is simply doing the only thing that will work to fix Apple's intentional crippling of communication with Android for their own benefit.

I stayed in a hotel recently via Hotwire. After my stay I received an email asking for my review using two separate icons, presumably two different links: one thumbs up and one thumbs down. I clicked on the thumbs down and received a 404. I gave up.
Airbnb also puts pressure on guests not to leave bad reviews: If you try to leave a 3 star review they ask you to explain using their criteria. And noise and lack of space aren't on that list. And they say they'll tell the host what to work on, as if paying full price for discomfort is acceptable.

Most of the time, I just leave 4 star reviews for places I didn't like and then mention all my hassles in my public comment.

Booking is much better: They ask you what you didn't like.

(I've used both Airbnb and Booking over 50 times over the last 6 years)
They have a very slight semblance of control over the lava, in the sense that they have built some berms in an attempt to protect important infrastructure (power plant and town) should the lava flow towards it.

But ya, mostly they have the people evacuated and taken care of.
I didn't do it because while I do use a Mac, I don't need or want any of the Apple's online ecosystem.
> This is not wage inequality because these are not equal things. More productive employees are not equal to less productive ones. Productive men are not equal to less productive (article's words not mien) women. If 2 different things are not equal, then there is no inequality.

The paper is saying that higher-earning men are more likely to work for companies which pay higher wages (to all their employees). Put another way, 100 men who are equally high-earning across their work experience are not randomly distributed in high- and low- wage companies, but are more concentrated in high-wage companies.

In the HN context, maybe it makes sense to say "higher-earning men are more likely to get jobs at FAANG rather than earn the same amount at Microsoft/some non-OpenAI startup/a bank".
They don't charge that much. As per the Apple website, they charge $249 to replace the battery in a 2019 16" MacBook Pro.

Wonder if we could make a browser extension that stores and presents amazon reviews.

Could be useful to fill gaps on other sites too, for example when an uploader turns off comments on youtube.

It would be a pretty big middle finger to amazon if the primary site for amazon seller reviews was not actually amazon, but a third party site/app.

The latency of the operation will be slightly higher if we add the `sqrt`, only making the difference bigger... bigger than 2500x.

PS: Even though it wasn't intended in that specific case, square roots are often avoided in vector search, most commonly in Euclidean distance computations. Even without the square root, the triangle inequality holds, you can use it to find the closest object, it's just you don't know how close it is :)

The reality is for most people the most valuable thing on their laptop are some photos. The car on the other hand holds significantly more monetary value for many, so the financial impact of loosing a car is typically much higher

These anti-theft systems are one of the big reasons that so few users have their phones & laptops stolen from them.

I don't know how old you were in the 2000's, but even in restricted access college libraries, laptops were stolen constantly. In the first few years after iPhones came around, phone theft started becoming super common, and was eventually a constant source of news.

Back then the thieves weren't limited to professionals who had access to a fence who has contacts with shady factories overseas. Every single hard up person could benefit from grabbing a device, and doing a DFU reset or wiping the hard drive. The market and opportunity for thievery was soooo much bigger.

FYI: Apple’s pinch to zoom lets you rotate and drag not just zoom.

This kind of subtle differences matter quite a bit from a UI perspective. You could have a punch to zoom system where a pinching motion always resulted in fixed changes to zoom levels. You could describe both implementations as “pint to zoom” but one is a lot more user friendly than the other.
I disagree. The best way to counter a wall of fake reviews is one thorough, real review. Add a few photos, if you can.

I review every hotel I stay at. From time to time, I switch on a VPN, go into private browsing, and get a bit of joy when I see that my 500+ word Google reviews are the first thing people see.
Any system is flawed in different ways. The fact that apple has a course corrective measure through cooks email is a positive.
> Any evidence of a language being stamped out by a despot?

Oh the irony!

The English tried to wipe out Gaelic use in Cornwall, Scotland, the Isle of Man and Ireland for centuries. Schools were told to punish children for speaking Gaelic, and to only speak English to their students. We succeeded in wiping out Cornish as a living language (sorry!). Manx and Irish Gaelic survived, though you can argue about Manx Gaelic (there was a revival around the time the last native speaker died).
Fun historical fact: During the Civil War, the Confederacy experienced rampant inflation. The treasury was located in Richmond, VA. When the Union Army got close to Richmond, the Confederacy packed up the printing press and moved the Treasury, which took a few weeks. During those few weeks, inflation came to an abrupt halt. When they got the printing press running again, inflation resumed its gallop.
