We did not say that there is no wind at night, but it is possible to have no wind some nights. And since at night there is no sun, that is why the price of electricity would go up, if there were not nuclear (or gas/coal) to run during those nights.
I always buy as much Pseudoephedrine as I can since I get regular head colds. It's always funny to ask for "as much as I can get".
I changed my last name when I got married, and at the time I had a work email address that looked like oldlastname@company.com on the company's Google Workspace. Given that oldlastname was no longer my name, I changed my email address to newlastnmae@company.com.

This worked fine in Google services and some of the many work applications using Google for auth, but some of them were using the email address as a global identifier in a way that broke down when I changed my name. The services that migrated successfully were using a more stable identifier that persisted despite the address change.

The other replies already brought up that WhatsApp is not common in the US, but I'll also add that if your beef with iMessage is the evil corporate overlord, moving to WhatsApp kinda seems like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
That’s true, but also one of the selling points of some AI tasks. As a non hypothetical example, the DoD hired a company to train a software dogfighting simulator with RL. What surprised the pilots was how many “best practices” it broke and how it essentially behaved like a pilot with a death wish. Possibly good in war, maybe not so good on a public road.
That's a huge indicator to me that Fedi is wayyy ahead any of the other "alt social media" projects. That normal, non-technical people use it to talk about normal real-life things in their day wayy more than they use it to just talk about how much they like Fedi / the thing / related thing. At least Bluesky as reached that bar too, but Nostr and none of the other crypto-y social media have.

This is sadly so true for many many categories of consumer products; by the time sufficiently enough people discover the product is bullshit to turn general public opinion the original sales already made the "innovator" enough money to make the whole endeavor worthwhile.
> very strongly autistic & doesn't understand the complex nuances of what is acceptable and what is not acceptable

This is a popular framing of autistic people but this assumes the problem is complex nuances. Most of the time it's not very nuanced at all. The problem is that autistic people are less likely to follow rules they don't agree with or see as arbitrary - in the positive this is sometimes described as a "strong sense of justice" but that phrase ignores that the perception of what is or isn't just or unjust can vary.

Studies have actually shown what is dismissively described as "moral rigidity", i.e. autistic people are more likely to follow ethical rules they profess even when they believe they can get away with breaking them and when nobody would find out. The problem is that "normal" people are much more "morally flexible" and thus share an implicit understanding of what rules are important (i.e. actual rules) and which ones you're supposed to say you follow but aren't expected to.

To be clear, they aren't being locked up for being neurodivergent. They are being locked up for committing crimes and refusing to stop if released.

Sure, not committing crimes is part of "playing the game", but it is a game you must play to go free.

If someone can't avoid sufficiently severe crime, that is a completely valid reason to lock someone up. It doesn't matter if they can help it or not
This just isn't a factor anymore, Big Meth produces a product so cheap that it would be ridiculous to try to produce it at a small scale.

Moreover we already have the most draconian and well funded drug agency of any OECD democracy, surely they could cope with some trailer park meth labs without having to hassle everyone with allergies or a cold.

High Speed rail attempts have failed everywhere in North America, it has nothing to do with Musk or Hyperloop and everything to do with how incredibly poorly HSR fits into the existing urban fabric of North America. There have been many studies of building a HSR line between Windsor and Quebec City and you just can't make it work.
Caveat: I have gleaned bits and bobs from across the web, but I do not work in the UK power industry.

I believe there might be a lot of wind power, but the UK grid doesn't yet have the capacity to transfer it, with London and the SE being a key user of power. Until then a proportion of wind power needs to be curtained, and gas power generated near the South East.

A coming link from Scotland to Norway should allow power to be exported, in addition to the England Norway link.

The main issue I believe is the Scotland to England link, a second interconnect, this time on the Eastern side of the British isles is being built.

Batteries can only soak up only so much extra wind power, and currently there isn't much call for desalination plants in Glasgow.

"Real men have fabs!" - AMD founder and CEO at the time, Jerry Sanders [1]

He said this some time in the 80's to early 90's as a defence for their expensive commitment to still be running their own fabs when most big semi companies like Motorola were selling off their fabs and going fabless because it was eating their resources and it was impossible to compete with the likes of TSMC on node shrinks and value.

So even without Intel screwing with them in anti-competitive ways, they could not have kept their fabs competitive much longer. The writing was already on the wall way back then but Jerry Sanders was just being stubborn.

Hmm, maybe a hybrid approach would work. The traditional pinsetter has 10 pins ready to go in a holder that lowers them all down from above. That part seems simple enough. The complex part is creating order out of chaos and loading pins into that holder.

Suppose you keep that holder, and then do this:

(1) After the ball comes through, take note of which pins are standing, then immediately sweep them ALL away into an area back behind.

(2) The holder, which already has 10 pins in it, lowers and releases 1-10 pins as appropriate.

(3) While the bowler is taking their next shot, the robot arm works on picking up pins from the back area and refilling the holder.

This way, the robot arm can work in parallel with the bowler taking their next shot. If the bowler is really fast, the robot might still not be able to keep up, but at least it doesn't have to do all its work super quick in a narrow window of time.
Waymo drives better in San Francisco than I do, and I live here. And it drives an order of magnitude better than I did during my first few months in the city. I have friends who live in the South Bay who are still reluctant to drive when they visit SF.
> Suppose you have renewable sources that on average generate 100GW. Well, some weeks they're going to average 90GW

Renewables' fluctuations are way, way bigger than 10%. Solar, by definition, is going to be producing 0% of output 12 hours a day on average. Wind has fluctuations of over 10x as well:

https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S03062619173083...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03062...

It's more like, you have renewable sources that produce 100 GW at their times of peak output. And for a couple months of the year they're producing 10GW. If you built 90 GW of nuclear power, then you could just scrap 90% of your renewables and run your nuclear plants all year round. Again, nuclear power plants are just as cheap to run constantly as it is to run them intermittently.
Because the tech had advanced in 110 years?

Apparently not, I suppose is your point.
These are a good examples of the self-reproach Waymo is exhibiting. Contrast to Cruise which appears to have attempted to suppress information about dragging a pedestrian under one of its cars.
Haha well in that case, I’d say the ground had right-of-way :-)
> The only reason it works is that they have mapped out cities with straightforward roads and sunny weather to millimeter precision, and have hardcoded vehicles to operate in those conditions.

Yet it actually works. Going to level 4 and slowly adding areas prioritizes safety and reduces the risk of project failure. You can argue the Waymo approach is slower, but is the only one that has worked so far.

> There's no overhead to introducing Autopilot in a new city it's never been in before--it just "works,"

Yet it doesn't. For all their grandstanding, Tesla has remained stuck at level 3 for years. I wouldn't say that trading cheap deployment for public safety is something we should praise.
There is a world where we dig tunnels under federal highways, and stick freight trucks down there. They'd run on a monorail, at 120+ mph. Surface vehicles would be dramatically limited in terms of height, width, and length. Maybe people buses could go down there?

In my imagination these tunnels are, like, 200' down. Like mole people.

There was a far more productive reading you could have taken.

Free speech allows Wikipedia to publish unpopular or controversial speech, but that's not the same as having an editorial policy that contributors are allowed to express themselves on the platform, which would obviously be inappropriate.

Wikipedia documents opinions and ideologies but that's not the same as supporting the expression of the opinions and ideologies of its contributors. (See above.)

There is technology for fast rapid mass transit: high-speed rail. Technology was never the issue here. Political will to fund, approve right-of-way, and build it was always the problem, and Musk never even tried to address that part.

Search "Apple v. Samsung" for some litigation that Google was on the hook for. I went to a day of this trial in Lucy Koh's courtroom in San Jose. If you sell Android phones, you're liable for patent infringement, which Google indemnifies you for.

Same here, but it's over 30 on my dad's side; My mom only has 10ish cousins. I have a single cousin.

You know how kids go through phases of what job they want when they grow up? Every time I switched, my dad would say "Oh! My cousin so-and-so does/did that!" To the point where when I said "fighter pilot," I was, perhaps, less surprised than I should be when he said "My cousin flies an F-16 in the Thunderbirds. We should go to one of his air-shows"

To play the devils advocate - its important for leaders to know how their companies/efforts are generally perceived - whether or not the analysis itself is accurate is immaterial.

Is this about Asse? Then no, they were not surprised when some containers rusted. The waste was primarily meant to be contained by the salt, not by their metal containers; and it was meant to remain there permanently.
Corroding containers was never the issue with Asse, the general instability of the caverns and water ingress is.
This, again, gets to missing the point. If a disproportionate amount of cars are nuisance brake checking, it increases the level of uncertainty in driving behavior. I now have to overcompensate on average to maintain the same level of safety.

The little victories matter in the same way that the Snowball Effect works for paying down debt. It feels good to see marginal improvements and those improvements allow for even greater improvements in the future.

The problem comes when we stop at the first improvement or use that as an excuse to not fix new problems as they arise.
This appears to work with new reddit only. It says "It's meant only for the main Reddit website www.reddit.com, it won't work on old website old.reddit.com and new website new.reddit.com." but I use www.reddit.com with old reddit forced ("Use new Reddit as my default experience" is unchecked in my preferences) and it doesn't seem to work.
Regarding your first point… 15 year olds learn the basics of driving in a day. Generally speaking, it’s not that difficult. A scenario where humans forget entirely how to drive and are unable to learn again is incredibly far fetched.
Oh, I agree. $1,200 monitors are mostly better than $300 ones.

A more interesting comparison here IMHO is with panels using the same technology, sold around the same price (IPS or VA) and lacking Mini-LEDs backlighting.

Rtings seems to conclude that Mini-LEDs backlighting is far better than full panel back lighting.

Hell, I'm using one right now (KTC M27T20, paid 330 euros) and it's just amazingly good... even if not as good as OLED.

I think not wanting to live in Seattle is fine, there is much to offer in the Midwest, although I lived in Toledo almost a lifetime ago. More to the point, we are pretty full, our growth should have ended and we should be losing people ATM until we level off, we can’t grow like this forever. It’s time for Charlotte and Raleigh to grow, or maybe Cincinnati. Or Texas. It wouldn’t be Seattle’s loss, we can stand to be less popular for awhile.

Consider the opposite
Beeper wouldn't have any arguments to stand on had they initiated the lawsuit - after all, Apple is allowed to make changes to their protocol as they see fit.

However, the regular pattern we've seen is that companies use copyright and/or ToS as basis for C&D'ing (with threat of litigation) developers that produce adversarily-interoperable solutions.

If Apple did so (and Apple would've absolutely done it if Beeper wasn't a reasonably well-funded adversary), Beeper would suddenly have an argument, as well as the support of the media ("Apple sues small company for opening up iMessage to Android") and the potential to establish a legal precedent that would threaten not just Apple but the tech industry at large.
It would be like if a laptop came with no ... preinstalled apps to do a bunch of things that you might want to do with a laptop.
There should be a length of time attached. Even in the US “life” means a limited amount of time that can be stacked over and over again, and we would totally call that excessive for these crimes or lack of remorse.

This is really foreign and sad what the UK is doing.
Apple is such a shitty organization. They make excellent hardware, but everything they do is just an attack on its customers.

They want to keep people in their walled garden so bad, that they'll transparently attack attempts to make things better for everyone.
CO2 is not a pollutant and when it comes to nuclear I am pretty sure the nuclear waste is what is being referred to.
You either end up reinventing foreign keys, your support volume will scale faster than your data, or user experience will suffer.

There may be situations where foreign keys become too much overhead, but it's worth fighting to keep them as long as possible. Data integrity only becomes more important at scale. Every orphaned record is a support ticket, lost sale, etc.
Or not? One example is that there are more OSes than there are for example kernels.

There were (even before Android) _multiple_ Linux-based operating systems designed for PDAs and/or phones (remember GPE? Qtopia? etc), and there are (even after Android) multiple non-Android Linux-based operating systems for phones.

Frankly, evidence seems to point that Google borrowed from the community much more than they gave back.
Thanks for this, I"d been meaning to work up the energy to deal with their retention ops, but this was super easy.

They missed the thing with storage. Android makes it difficult to route pictures and videos anywhere other than Google photos. Which pretty quickly fills up your free 15GB storage quota. It then nags for paid storage. Technically savvy folks find ways to get around this. But, it traps a fair number of people into paying for storage they don't really need.
This is called creating friction.
"Nuisance braking" is, like jaywalking, a phrase that prioritizes one party's use of the road over another party's. The best policy is still to leave the vehicle in front enough room to brake for any reason. Mostly because "nuisance braking" hasn't been solved in humans either (ever been behind someone who panicked when they realized they were falling asleep behind the wheel? I have.)

I'm sorry to see them pull the plug so quickly, but it was mostly expected.

As a developer of a "companion" communications app, I understand Beeper's frustration all too well. I really look forward to a world of interoperable instant messaging one day; email is amazingly ubiquitous and it's because of open standards. There are pros and cons to this and, sadly, the biggest "con" is one can't completely control this to monetize the hell out of it (although Google did a pretty good job with Gmail?) and that's why IM is so siloed.

Google is pushing the hell out of RCS, but there is still no API on Android for developers to hook into this. Why am I not surprised?
Because the arrogance of modern Silicon Valley thinking is that "We are better, in every possible way, than older engineers, because we know code." And Elon Musk seems very, very prone to this sort of thinking (or, at least, his companies do, and I think it comes from him).

One example of many is the weird conversations he was having about sonic velocity robots and "lights out dreadnaught" sort of auto factories, which just about every other automaker has been trying on and off since the 80s, and has worked out that it doesn't work. So Tesla's modern lines, after quite a bit of fooling around with that sort of rubbish, look just like everyone else's lines, because as soon as you have humans in the loop for the things robots can't do well, you may as well run the line at human speeds.
