This is a very common pattern (and criticism) of stratechery.
Copernicus has only revived a theory first proposed millennia before him (in Ancient Greece), but initially rejected for insufficient evidence. Even for Copernicus, his theory was based more on faith than on evidence, because it became possible to measure the stellar parallaxes only much later.

When Einstein published his theory of Special Relativity, it did not contain any fact or formula that had not already existed previously in the works of Lorentz, Poincaré and many others. It was just a new and original point of view about which is the meaning of those known relationships (i.e. that it is the speed of light which is constant in all reference systems, while other quantities are variable, instead of making other choices about which quantities are constant and which are variable).

His contribution is actually very similar with that of Copernicus, who also did not provide any new fact or relationship, but just a new choice about which position should be considered constant, Sun's or Earth's. Both changes were very small compared with the existing knowledge, but they were very important for enabling further progress.

Every progress is really incremental and it adds very little over the existing body of knowledge, even if the addition is essential for any further progress and for improving the practical applications.
It just makes no sense and has never been necessary to incentivize Americans to take business risk. I don't understand why the entrepreneur, who is presumably getting a big exit in this scenario, deserves additional tax relief on top of that windfall. That sounds like another way for the rich to get even richer.
No need to guess. There is almost a thousand year old story in Iceland which describes such a thing in Brennunjálssaga. The story goes something along the lines that they were discussing whether to adopt Christianity at the Parliament. but as they were debating somebody told them that a new eruption had started. Some assembly members wanted to blame this on the debate, that the gods were insulted that they were considering being abandoned, however others argued: “Then what angered the gods that produced the lave which we stand on now?”

In short, people kind of knew what was going on. They may not have known the exact mechanism, but they did know that this was how land formed, and was a normal part of nature, just like the northern lights, earthquakes and rain.
Unrelated to EmDrive, but similar... is the thruster based on the theory of Quantized Inertia[0]... it passed multiple lab tests on the ground, and is now in orbit[1,2], waiting for the other experiments in the satellite to be completed before they power it up. If it works as expected, they'll be boosting the orbit of the satellite by 100km without using propellant, thanks to a 1 milliNewton electric thruster pushing on its mass of 4.8 Kg.

I've long wanted something like this for addresses or contact details.

You register your address somewhere, and give access to it to companies by signing their certificate. When you update your contact details, you do so in one place and it sends a notification to each organisation to update their details.

It'd be better as well if you could revoke your permission with that company so they can't contact you.
It's also a lot harder to steal someone's car without already having the ability to get in and turn it on; you can't just pick it up and walk away.

I also think that car security is maybe not a good standard to try to emulate, given how often they have what in my opinion might be the worst security message of all time: the car alarm. I've never once heard a car alarm and thought "aha, someone must be trying to steal that car". As far as I can tell, false positives are both much more common than true positives and literally indistinguishable to bystanders, so any time someone hears a car alarm the person causing it could just claim it's their car and they activated it by mistake and no one would question it. They're also so annoyingly loud that they disturb basically everyone on the block, and they can happen at literally any time. After around 10 seconds of a car alarm waking me up from deep sleep I would probably root for a thief to get away with taking the car just to make the sound go away.

The indictment[1] mentions that he used a VPN. Given how they seem to have gotten his search history from multiple months he probably made the queries using his google account. I didn't find any mention of what got him caught but I would assume that they either traced the trail of stolen crypto to some exchange where he had traded them for FIAT or maybe the VPN he used was one that kept logs.

You can buy in the wrong part of a city but you will pay much less. Who wins, people who pay less or people who pay less? I think it depends on what they are after.
Lawmakers make and change laws, so it seems sensible to find out whether they need changing. "This isn't illegal now therefore it shouldn't be looked into by lawmakers" would be circular reasoning.

> The explicit carve-out of reverse engineering for the purpose of interoperability in the DMCA

Explicit prohibitions against reverse engineering in ToS and licenses, as is the case here, supersede the DMCA exception as per Bowers v. Baystate Technologies, 320 F.3d 1317 (Fed. Cir. 2003)[0]

> The European Digital Markets Act, which will require chat networks to provide interoperability

Only for ones that are big enough to meet a threshold, which iMessage does not. If it did it would only be enforceable in the EU, so that wouldn’t affect US users.

> There is a whole ecosystem of products built on this premise. Quicken, for example, relies on a library of reverse engineered banking interfaces to automate interaction and data aggregation of one's accounts.

The big difference with your example and this case is that in your example it leads to a new product that is sold, whereas in this case it’s the repackaging of someone else’s product, which is then subsequently sold and relies on someone else’s infrastructure.

Note that Apple hasn’t sued Beeper (yet) for reselling/sub-licensing iMessage, instead they’ve tightened access of their infrastructure.

It goes without saying that even if you’d believe that the DMCA reverse engineering exception allows for repackaging and resale of the reverse engineered product (which it doesn’t), it certainly doesn’t come with entitlement to the resources of owner of the reverse engineered product.

> Search and LLM products are also built on the consumption of other people's data and then charging for it.

Ignoring the fact that the adjudication on the legality of this has yet to be resolved for a second, this is still not analogous to the situation at hand.

Consumption of other people’s data to produce, generally, new data in new forms and context is not the same as repackaging and reselling.
It’d be different if Beeper used their reverse engineering to setup their own competing chat network, although then you get into the territory of clean rooms etc.

> State secrets can also be in one of those mailer boxes in your car, or you might have a body in the trunk you don't want people to find. Or I might be inside the car, and I want as much protection as possible (but without adding too much weight)

Sure, but nobody is clamoring for literally every car on the market to have a remote lockout only possible to disable by the OEM or if the original owner chooses explicitly to pass on the privilege. It would be ludicrous for the solution to potentially accidentally leaving some documents in the glove compartment to be allowing the original owner of a used car to retain the privilege to brick the car after someone else buys it.
Has the way Python handles this changed a lot in the last decades? I have never did it because I feared having to chase changes in Python and an ever changing build environment. Mostly a focus thing I knew I alone would not be the one to fix it across all build envs. At the time I was the lone Pythonista now everyone we hire is comfortable with Python so I made the wrong choice.

Redacting sensitive free-text data: build vs. buy
I find the explanation of logical and physical replication to be weird. Seems like only logical replication transfers changes.

I have always thought physical replication is replicating using WAL logs, which is a stream of changes. The logical replication would execute the queries on the replicating nodes, leaving WAL management to the replica.

This is also the reason why physical replication requires same pg versions (there may be diffs to the physical format of data in WAL), whilst logical replication uses domain language, which is independent from physical layout.

I have so many questions, it is a very good article!

My most important one is this: can I build a distributed k8s cluster with this?

I mean having fly machines in Europe, US and Asia acting as a solid k8s cluster and letting the kube scheduler do its job?

If yes then it is better than what the current cloud offerings are, with their region-based implementation.

My second question is obviously how is the storage handled when my workload migrates from the US to Europe: so I still profit from NVME speeds? Is it replicated synchronously?

Last but not least: does it support RWM semantics?

If all the answers are yes, kudos, you just solved many folk’s problems.

Stellar article, as usual.

>What the Kremlin says and what is actually means and does are so fundamentally divorced that it would be endearing that you think you can take them at their word if it wasn't so painful because even the slightest bit of study on the subject would tell you how dangerously foolish that is.

I think we tend to scrutinize our enemies harder than ourselves sometimes in that regard. I don't know what country you're from and thus won't try to guess, but here in the US looking at what our politicians have said or say over the years they're guilty of a similar disconnect. What's important is that there have been two decades of noise in Russia over what's happening now and we disregarded it, diplomatically snubbed them, stoked the flames, and followed up by not taking the steps to take full responsibility for Ukraine's safety when the dam finally burst.

When the situation was reversed, and Russians were meddling in our own backyard with Cuba, we were able to reach a diplomatic solution instead of escalating- we (understandably) blew a gasket over a foreign superpower encroaching on our local home sphere of influence, reached out, and they backed down with concessions that made both sides relatively happy to leave that conflict at that. Now that something similar is happening on their side of the world, we were more than happy to goad them until they invaded. Russia's actions in Ukraine are disgusting but it's understandable what the parent comment meant when he said this was telegraphed many years in advance.

We just had a thing like this in my company. A customer asked a technical question to our assistant who forwarded the question to the dev team. Within an hour (before she could reply) they wrote an angry email to the CEO "exposing" her and overall acting petty.
The CEO then forwarded that email to her supervisor who then just forwarded it to her again. It was quite unpleasant for every party involved.
It's just a hit and miss and if one does this, it definitely shouldn't be an petty/angry rant.

I didn't find this post very illuminating. It needs some actual examples of typed code and how the different interpretations would apply.

Apparently third-party resellers can still sell Apple Watches that have already been imported to the US (but Apple cannot import anymore, nor can it sell any first-party).

I wonder if Apple has been importing like crazy, and selling to big retailers like Amazon and Walmart. That way customers can continue to purchase (albeit not from Apple) for the next several months. Then Apple can perhaps release a new version in May, using different technology that either doesn't infringe, or at least would require a new trial to establish infringement.

If this is the case, I think Apple could even continue to have AW showcases in their stores, where people could try them on, see how the features work, and see which size fits best. After all, this wouldn't violate the ban on importation (assuming the store models were already in the US), nor would it violate the ban on first-party sales (since Apple wouldn't be selling the store models).

Sure, but if prices rise high enough, that high demand induces more suppliers of those services. In cities, where rent is 3-5x that of rural areas, new suppliers cannot enter the market to provide more of that service unless it involves wages high enough to pay for rent. There is a finite amount of space in a city, especially those as extremely zoning-constrained as American cities.

This "everyone will charge you the most they can get away with" doesn't always have to mean prices go parabolic forever; we can enact simple urban land use reforms that allows more housing units and commercial spaces to be built, which can reduce the price of rent for businesses and the rent of housing units that businesses pay indirectly via wages.

As an educator in every course I ever gave it was women who where all shy about bragging they could do a thing that they did for years, while men who watched a single YouTube-video on the issue acted as if they were top experts on the field. E.g. girl who single handedly run light shows at a club for years wouldn't say she knows a lot about the technology, while a guy who once connected an LED stripe would say he does. And it always turns out that the girl knows more.

Guys are just better at convincing themselves (and by extension: others) they can do a thing when they can't — and people who can do more things get more money.

But from an employers perspective you loose out if you don't see theough that.

> Design, solicit feedback, integrate, iterate, repeat.

Except people in a typical company who might provide quality feedback on the new website, do not want to "browse Figma". They want an actual website to view - dev site or the actual new live site.

> "You can't just launch a new website and surprise your team."

Yes you can. Nothing beats launching a new site to motivate quality feedback. If you expect feedback to arrive soon after launch, you can use this to your advantage.

If you like the sound of crickets, share a link to Figma and ask people for feedback. Designers and developers will respond, others like sales and non-technical staff often won't. Why? Because people prefer the security of their web browser's familiar reference point when assessing a website. As opposed to browsing an app that gives them a special window to a slippery canvas where an impression of the website is found.

Yes, some things still mysteriously work slower in Firefox or have some features disabled for no good reason which is why consumer protection agencies still have work to do but I haven't opened Chrome for weeks now I think and last time I did I think the thing I tried to access was just as broken there.
