I've always wondered what the best way to prevent this is. There is clearly little motivation on the company's side to prevent this.

One idea that keeps coming to mind is that the company should be forced to pay for the customer's time. I don't know how to handle this in the general case but for things like cancelling a subscription, making a warranty claim or fixing some other service issue that isn't the customer's fault the company should be required to pay for any time spent. You ask me 30min of questions before letting me unsubscribe? I look forward to my $50 in the mail next week. My warranty claim requires 3 calls and 2h to resolve? I'll take $200.

Obviously implementing this would be super difficult. What if the customer talks slowly or ambiguously to get more money? But I feel that the core idea has merit. If the company is wasting my time they should be forced to compensate me.
True, AI is just the tool and not the perpetrator. Murder has also exist since the dawn of humanity, but a murderer with a stick is very different from one with a fully automatic rifle.
I always find these discussions funny, we are putting so much time and attention to a problem that is solved: moving many people, multiple locations, in a repeatable way safely, while maximizing for people and speed. They are called trains
Preview is great on Mac, but does not exist on Windows. If parent uses Windows, perhaps they must resort to MSPaint (which is much worse for this purpose).
Apple blackholed my SMSs from certain people for years.

I'll never forgive them for that. From the very beginning they decided to be hostile to users.

I think you may not have used induction.
I don't know about your specific circumstances but for Indian cooking, gas is just miles ahead. We have electric at home, It just takes forever to cook anything and it's hard to control the heat. Our friends with gas cooktops get done in half the time.
A notable difference is the liabilities usually have a due date, while technical debt usually have none.

Just a though: would assigning a due date to properly refactor the shortcuts we sometimes have to take be a useful exercise to better evaluate the trade off and help it not accumulate too much debt over time?
“Never had a chance”

Because of anticompetitive behavior by Apple, yes.

That’s literally the whole point people keep missing.
I would classify myself as a vim power user and I agree with this take.

I think I'm probably equally as productive as a person that really knows their editor of choice. The productivity benefits mostly just come from knowing what things your editor is capable of.

However, I subjectively feel a twinge of frustration whenever I need to take my hands off the keyboard to reach for a mouse. So using vim makes a massive impact on my day to day wellbeing.
This is a feature, not a bug. Anyway, what is to stop someone who owns a domain from doing this with actual forwards to do this sort of ban evasion?
Not even remotely true. Renewable account for 59% of subsidies. Nuclear, 1%.

> There is some internal tool that rewrites the serial number and apparently nobody ever overwrote the serial number on the removed unit.

How could that be possible?

Apple's internal systems won't allow a second motherboard/computer with the same serial to even pass the post-repair diagnosis.
Exactly. They paid for a detailed example they can point to of why one should follow the docs. Lot cheaper than a tech writer.
> autonomous driving and vehicle electrification are control strategies by an oppressive deep state

Wait.. what? That’s definitely a new one to me…
I have a good gas (propane) stove top and the big burner definitely is good for stir-fry. I'm sure many cheaper gas stoves are not as good.
This is a stretch.

Ray Tracing was the next frontier of visual quality. The compute was at a level where something like this was possible.

DLSS was not a "huge gambit". It was an application of AI models (many of which train and run on NVidia chips already) to the gaming space.

Making it sound like it was a "genius move" is great for promoting NVidia as being an innovator.
My RHR baseline(average) is 51. HRV baseline(average) is 95. I sleep very well & consistently but wake up feeling wired & tired (common in chronic fatigue I suppose). My cardio fitness averages to 52.9 which is a measurement of my VO2 max.

I have read thousands of covid / long covid papers. I think you would be surprised at what symptoms persistent virus in the gut lead to:

https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(23)01034-6

The books "I contain multitudes" and "Gut" are excellent recent titles helping bring light to the power of the gut. I personally think some other organs may be involved too and even the vagus nerve. But none-the-less covid is hijacking mitochondria:

This is why login is a horrid mess. Because if it's too easy then people who don't know what they are doing set up websites.
The ability to differentiate blue and green bubbles isn't inextricably tied to keeping iMessage closed. Apple could allow iMessage to interoperate and still only allow apple users to have blue bubbles. But they choose not to. Requiring an iPhone for a blue bubble is reasonable. Forcing everyone to use insecure chat just because one of them isn't an Apple customer isn't.
Microwave works pretty good too.
Two things to think about: say they make a big product direction change you don’t want – how many people are going to contribute to a community fork? Or say random, senseless acts of MBA happen and nobody is employed to work on it any more.

Those big companies are inconsistent so you can’t count on that, especially if the change doesn’t affect them or they’re already maintaining an internal fork. It’s not mission critical for them so I would not be shocked if they decided that some other approach was best for their businesses and their engineers spend time migrating instead of taking over maintainership.

I’m not saying that will or even is likely to happen but I would think about how hard it would be for you if it did because the odds of Cisco screwing up a popular project are a lot greater than zero.
> A lot to be said for not defaulting to data frames, in both r and python

I would even add especially in Python. The main issue I have found is that pandas heavy code is just not as easy to integrate into other Python tools/features/abstractions as code using mostly numpy, dictionaries and various comprehensions to do the vast majority of your work.

As a heavy pandas user for several years, I decided about a year ago to not import pandas by default and instead treat most data problems like regular python problems. I've been genuinely surprised as how much easier it is to create useful abstractions with the code I've been writing, and also how much easier it's been to onboard non-DS devs into the code base.

There are a few obvious cases when Pandas is very helpful, and I'll pull it out in those places, but I've been able to do a tremendous amount of data work in the last year and used very little pandas. The result is that I have an actual codebase to work with now rather than a billion broken notebooks.
The actual display has a pretty much zero turn-on-time (probably under 20ms).

The thing that takes ages to boot up is the 'smart' functionality, on screen display, hdmi link training, etc.
Is it a disregard for the law, or a disagreement?

The law is unjust to begin with. I don't blame anyone for breaking it twice. Would I recommend it? No. That doesn't mean I have to judge them for it.

The scary behavior here is his violence; but that violence was clearly a reaction to the violence he was confronted with: being arrested and threatened. I'm not convinced that he is a threat to society.

Sure, I can agree that it was wrong for him to react with violence. But what else could I reasonably expect from someone with Autism being punished for technically-illegal behavior?

Have you ever spent more than 10 minutes with someone who has severe Autism? If you have, then you know not to expect them to be great at following arbitrary rules. That doesn't mean they have to be institutionalized!

The solution to this problem is well-known: treatment. It's clear that that is not the goal in this case.
Are you using an induction stovetop?
The reason is because the application knows what’s actually happening with the data.
I developed severe exercise intolerance after taking ciprofloxacin and have been told by several doctors at Pacmed in seattle, Kaiser, Scripps, and UCSD in San Diego that I developed deconditioning and just needed to exercise. I forced myself to walk up to 5-10 miles a day over a one year period to “correct it” since 2021. I still cannot run without extreme dyspnea in a very short period nor lift weights in 2023. I recently got diagnosed by an older cardiologist at Cedar Sinai with dysautonomia. I have gotten my VO2 max up to 42, however there are some cardiac abnormalities during exertion. I used to bike 20 miles a day and ran 7 minute miles on repeat the week before the ciprofloxacin. I didn’t “decondition”. I was poisoned by a well-known mitochondrial toxin in research. Any drug that causes peripheral neuropathy should be highly suspected. Really hard to trust the vast majority of doctors in this day and age.
Yep, I'd describe myself as not into really anything fashion-wise, although when I think about that harder it's inevitable regardless of what world someone occupies. For me, I'd notice things like outdoor gear and computer peripherals as signals (intentional or otherwise), and much as I'd like to pretend those don't exist, that layer is ever present, for better or worse.
Wow - I checked the Internet Archive and you are correct, the "sentenced to life in hospital prison" headline was used when the article was originally published. I stopped reading BBC a while ago because of their sloppy standards but this is unusually bad.

FWIW in this case I would suppose the BBC online editor was careless and fixed their mistake, versus "A/B testing for clicks" generally. If it was A/B testing, the "A" headline went too far: there's a fine line between clickbait and outright lying.
People are so weird: it used to be that using the Internet a lot was seen as anti-social, now everyone's addicted to phones and if your message bubbles aren't the right color you're the weird one. It's just a stupid chat app.

It's completely awful we're strong-armed into having 6 different chat clients that send text messages because of gate-keeping. Chat has been fully commoditized since about 2000 or so.
+1. When I started in the industry, it was common for more experienced developers to drill the “data outlives the application that generated it” principle into you. Somewhere in the transition to NoSQL and back we lost this.
it was entered as evidence in the process.. you can forever get it from there..
The title is misleading.
Only the fairly new and surprisingly expensive SMRs were taken into account, the much cheaper traditional nuclear power plants weren't.
Which could be fine, but then don't generalise your findings across the entire nuclear landscape.
Nuclear is not a replacement for peaker plants. They have to run continuously just to reach their already abysmal economics.
"U.S. workers say banned weed killer in 50 countries is giving them Parkinson's" could be interpreted in several ways: that the weed killer is banned in 50 countries, or as "Banned weed killer giving US workers parkinson in 50 countries".

By moving banned, it makes it clear the weed killer is banned in 50 countries, not that it's killing people in 50 countries.
In my experince, adding proper constraints will not only ensure code can never write invalid data to disk, it will also help you realize when business rules are lacking or failed to consider edge cases.
It is. The intent is to demonstrate that motives of the Beeper developer are not better or worse than those of the rest of the industry.
Cooking food over an open flame has been the standard since prehistoric times.

Possibly the idea that a hot electric coil is just as good is the propaganda?
Eh depends on if the person is financially stable. The tongue and cheek number may stand out stronger on a resume.
This is the one and only argument needed. Everything else can be met with some degree of philosophical discussion and back-and-forth. The bottom line is that Apple didn’t invite them to use their (Apple’s) resources.
it gets even better when you consider that pharmacists are allowed to refuse to fill prescriptions here for "moral reasons", or in fact any other reason. C2 scripts are an absolute joy to fill here (/s) because you're constantly dealing with some tinpot dictator at the pharmacy window who is upset you're filling it on the earliest day you're allowed as opposed to waiting for the last day and finding out it's out-of-stock (because of the constant shortages).

the argument is that pharmacists are a "last line of defense" against the fractured system or mistakes from doctors (or clerical errors etc) but their authority is absolutely not limited to correcting errors or double-checking with the doctor's office. In practice the pharmacists here are incredibly full of themselves, they'll refuse to dispense birth control, etc, and there is no duty for the pharmacy to ensure someone else will service you, they can just say "no" and that's it.
Why not just use whatsapp?
But are you then implying that once the UK left the EU, all power transmission wires were cut as well? Because I don't see a reason why England wouldn't still enjoy low prices for wind energy even if Scotland were independent -- if Scotland has overcapacity, they'll have to sell at any price anyway to avoid disrupting their power grid.

Besides, the European electricity grid is much larger than the EU, it spans all the way from Ireland to Turkey, and from Finland to Morocco.
Literally importing the wind from one place to another. What a time to be alive!
Have a single application clearly owning the data. All access to the data is done through that application. Why would you _want_ multiple applications deciding how to handle data in a common store? What about access authorization to sensitive data?
Not sure exactly what you’re trying to get across here? I’ve seen this happen more than once.
Okay? Not sure why you're bringing up a what-if that didn't happen. Beeper Mini didn't hack into Apple's servers.

I was responding to someone who said the extra overhead for running a chat service that has more people use it would be notable for Apple. A business argument - not a legal one.
Wow, we've gone a long way since the era of assembly viruses on DOS.
Does Apple?
Pretty well, I guess. There's plenty of snow outside my apartment and I'm still seeing them pass by every day, about every 20 minutes or so.
I've worked with many productive people and the speed they write code at never was a big factor. The first thing you should optimize for is the speed you read code at, that makes a big difference, so look for tools or IDE's that helps you explore and read code faster. Debuggers, jump to reference, lookup usages of symbols and so on are all very important things to have.
It shouldn't, simply because it always knows where it's going well ahead of the lane change.
From the article : "But it’s not enough to answer the most important safety question: whether Waymo’s technology makes fatal crashes less likely."

Wouldn't the most important safety question be "whether Waymo’s technology makes fatal crashes MORE likely?" Why assume Autonomous Vehicles have to perform better?

Waymo less fatalities == Win

Waymo same fatalities == Draw

Waymo more fatalities == Bad Waymo
From what I understand, it's annoying for iPhone users to text Android users and vise versa. When an Android number is in a group chat it degrades all of the iPhone users' experience.

Likewise, as an Android user myself, whenever an iPhone person texts me a picture or video it's always a potato. This makes me not want to text iPhone users.

I wonder if there are any studies on how this causes people to subconsciously exclude Android users.
The question is, which perspectives did he expose himself to during that time, and what did he conclude from those inquiries? Data is easy; interpretation is hard. It's not enough to say he had an accurate model, it has to be reasonable, too.
Stupid prizes are not a good thing, and we should not be excited out our public institutions handing them out.

Stupid prizes are a predictable but negative response.

Like mouthing off to the police and then getting a beating - a predictable and stupid prize. But that doesn't mean we should endorse and accept that as an appropriate response from our institutions.
It's the opposite where I am. People tend to avoid gas. I've even seen people go to the extent of having gas service physically removed from houses they've bought.
Yes, that’s the dream but it hasn’t worked out for most usage because few people are going to spend their time and money hosting other people’s content. If you want it to stay up or have dependable service, you almost always have to pay for hosting.

Adding to the other answers, there are also -besides Photoshop, Gimp, etc- specialized tools to draw fantasy maps. The site mentions Wonderdraft [0], but there are a bunch of others though not all of them support using external brushes.

Some other tools in this space may be Watabou's tools [1], Azgaar's tools [2], Inkarnate [3], Mapforge [4], or quite a few more which you can find links to in this list [5]. Again: you could use these brushes with some of these; not all support external brushes.

> As far as “siphoning off resources” is concerned, it’s not that different from sending emails to an iCloud Mail address, which also makes use of Apple’s servers.

Which is the intent of running those email servers. These are the “public-use” servers. The iMessage servers are private.
No. Just plain electric.
This has certain downsides depending on the container you are using.
My local west coast newspaper (Owned by USA Today) used to pull this crap. Offer a $8 subscription for 6 months with a simple click, then automatically switch to monthly billing at $15/month and you had to call, during east coast business hours (again, I live on west coast) and if! they answered, they would work very hard to make sure you didn't cancel.

I started using the virtual cards from Privacy.com, and only authorizing the original purchase. its been a game changer.
How relevant is it being cross-platform given that a lot of malware exploits OS specific weaknesses? Although I suppose there's no reason to have a core malware with multiple exploits for multiple OSes.
Given the magnitude of his continuous hacks, and his verbally expressed desire to do it again and complete lack of remorse, the alternative is prison, either now, or on repeat offenses.

The chance of a more rehabilitation-oriented stay is probably worth it.
Honestly, I’m not sure I have a point. I was just commenting on what I’ve observed as a double standard on here.

If I were to comment on the Beeper thing specifically, I think they were wrong to make it a commercial project (something they’ve now rectified). But I think Apple are wrong to break Beeper too (though I get why they did).

I think there is enough blame to go round to all parties involved.
What is the base rate? WIthout the base rate, relative risks aren't informative.
"The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long"

I don’t think that would be a fair comparison because the whole idea behind these things is that humans operate suboptimally a LOT.

Removing the mistakes from the human data makes the whole exercise futile. The whole idea is people fuck up. A lot.
It's more abuse because of a) the market position and b) the extent of the othering.

One of the goals of making an API is to be able to implement multiple frontends on top of it.

In Next.JS server side, whether you query a database or a remote API with `fetch`, there are not much differences. And you'd still want Server Side Rendering to avoid having slow "first display" time.
> A consumer gas range simply doesnt put enough effective power into the cookware.

I like both gas and induction but are you really comparing the equivalent equipment in your anecdote?

The cheapest induction range on us-appliance.com (FCFI3083AS) is $1000, and has a 3600w "boost" burner, or ~12K BTUs

A $1000 gas range from the same company (Frigidaire, FCRG3062AB) has an 18K BTU burner. That's significantly more power.
One, it's not just an issue of 12 hours for diurnal storage. There's also seasonal fluctuations, where weather is drastically reducing output for weeks or more at a time.

Second, the US is averaging total storage costs of over $500/KWh [1]. So 12 hours of storage for 2 GWH (total, 24 GWh) would work out to 12 billion dollars. And this storage needs to be replaced every 10-15 years.

Estimates don't include storage because it's incredibly expensive. Renewables are cheap when they're supplementing a primarily fossil fuel grid (or hydro), but they're incredibly expensive as a primary source energy. But they're the cheapest short term carbon reductions, so naturally that's what politics rewards.

Ask HN: How to start a software consulting company
I work as a software engineer and I recently finished my Ph.D. in Computer Science. Programming is not just my job, it has been my hobby for as long as I remember.

I always wanted to have my own software consulting company on the side where I could help other people solve their website or cloud (Azure or PaaS) problems. That has always been my dream. I am not sure where to start or how to approach people or which meet-ups I should attend. Especially after finishing my Ph.D., I have a lot more free time and I don't like to waste time, instead, I could help other people.

I appreciate any guidance or feedback. Thank you
The asymmetric upside of being positive
The main tenet that undergirds the "why are centrists like this" argument is that viewing the world's political alignments on a 1D spectrum is an impoverished and naive perspective. Maybe that helps you to better understand the critiques.

Imagining that your personal politics are something that everyone would agree with if only the veil could be lifted and a mysterious "they" would stop suppressing the truth is the lowest form of political thought.
