Hyperloop One to shut down
This is some bizarre outrage clickbait

There's a lot of problems with android and a whole lot of things that can be levelled at Google for the shit they pull with it but the three points the article cites seem absolutely pathetic

"Google charges for Google Apps!"

Other vendors such as Amazon, Samsung and Microsoft happily ship their own app stores and competing app sets. Google develops these apps in-house and phone users expect to be able to use them. They aren't making money on hardware like Apple (unless you buy a Pixel device) so they have to make money somewhere.

Also at least unlike on iPhones you can say, change out what browser you're using (Firefox and others on IOS still use Safari under the hood)

"Google gets money from their app store!"

So does every app maker. Next

"Google makes money from Google products and advertising!"

Okay? That's...what they've always done. People want to use those apps and services, from Gmail to Maps. There's nothing directly insidious about that. If you want to use Bing Maps you can, or DuckDuckGo for search, or Proton for email. None of these functions are compulsory just because you use android
AOSP has a lot of Google in it- the first thing you'll see is a big anachronistic Google search bar.
I've got a large 15lb enamel dutch oven. If I am doing any sort of speedy operation where I have to scrape off crusted ingredients, I might do some real clattering about. I have some real good chicken curry recipes where I do this.

It's also worth noting that certain things like home canning might actually void the warranty of your glass cooktop. The extreme weight put on them during the process can actually put more pressure on the layers than they can handle. Older canning equipment might not even be compatible with the flat surface.
Ok, how often does California (or the US as a whole if we were going to do a nationwide system, or North America, or The Americas, etc....) go for weeks without sun or wind? I would think those could be known via historical data and used to model a system that works except in extreme situations.
You're correct that that is the only permanent solution, but it can be bypassed until the next reinstall or major OS upgrade on Macs like this one as long as (1) you're able to change the boot device and (2) there is not a firmware password set.

I did it a couple years ago on a last generation Intel-based MBP to troubleshoot a problem caused by a particular piece of software installed by our IT team who, for various reasons, were unable to assist.

Caveat: I don't know if this is possible anymore on Apple silicon-based Macs because they apparently "require an internet connection to get firmware and other information specific to the Mac model."[^1]

The trick was to:

1. Use a freshly created bootable installer volume.[^1] (If previously setup, management software will often inject itself into the existing Recovery volume).

2. Prevent it from connecting to the internet, including any previously connected WiFi network it might remember.

3. Get it through the installation and initial user creation without being able to connect to the internet.

After that, it didn't pester me until the next reinstall.

Android users do not want iMessage. What they want is their friends to stop telling them to buy an iPhone because Apple ignores the RCS standard and does a purposely shitty job of integrating SMS group chat into iMessage.

I'm generally pretty laissez faire about technology, but when it comes to things that have achieved high market adoption, I am more sympathetic to the EU's position of enforcing standards.

I have no idea why people support corporations creating these weird little walled garden fiefdoms that are actively user hostile. This seems to be a relatively new phenomenon. Imagine how stupid it would be to have to have an Apple phone to call another Apple user. Or to have to go to a Ford gas station to fill your car. Or if you could only send/receive email with other Gmail users.
There's usually cryptography libraries in multiple languages if the exploiter is trying to be really fancy, or as simple as a string prefix search for common blockchain wallet address prefixes if the malware writer wants to be a bit lazier and save some time. So I tend to agree with the other user, this could have been done in just about any language (if not any language) so calling out Go just seems like a pointless finger-pointing at Go.
The contrast is massive. I'm much more likely to read the html version; that PDF is deeply off-putting in some hard to define way. Maybe it's the two columns, or the font, or the fact that the format doesn't adjust to fit different screen sizes.
When I worked in cybersecurity we always joked about these kinds of articles, just waiting for one day to see "Quake PAK files found carrying malware!!!1!"
Ask HN: Best learning resource to get started in Electricity and Magnetism
The question you a reading now is a follow up question to this one[1]

The only training I have in the field of Electricity and Magnetism dates from 20 years ago when I was in University. Sadly I forgot about it as a working programmer (You know, I got busy or entertained with the latest JS framework, or some other new trend in Technology).

Lately, I am revisiting and enjoying a lot some basic topics on Mathematics. I am still curious about the field of electricity and magnetism.

What's the best learning resource to get into the field of Electricity and Magnetism? With the sole purpose to be educated in the topic to the point of being able to appreciate our world better.

What kind of path did people like Oliver Heaviside followed?

I would like for your recommendations to be in the vein of the book "Geometry" by Israel Gelfand and Tatiana Alekseyevskaya (Gelfand). That is, found the ground up, I want to "see" the forces in action.

And yes, I am still to revisit some topics on Calculus. But I am pretty sure these disciplines arise as need from the problems at hand rather that standalone topics.

Thanks a lot and happy holidays.

Google made $280B in revenue in 2022 which means this article is claiming that at least 1/3 of it (since they said over $92B) is coming from Android only.

Does that align?

Three thoughts:

1. Where “western diets” go in the world we see healthcare costs go up.

2. The US fits the bill for about 90% of the global R&D costs on healthcare. Many universal healthcare systems only fund existing methods.

3. The US is more unhealthy than most other places. This can be observed with higher percentage of the population having chronic illnesses.

While satirical, this was around the time when building Rails-like frameworks was the rage. I was doing ColdFusion at the time, and tried out the Rails clone, CFWheels. Grokking many of the Rails concepts in a language I was familiar with led me to the original, which is where I do most of my work today.

For sure. Sentencing guidelines and legal tests for criminality are usually very clearly drawn, even if the logic that brought them to conclusion may be flawed. You'll know when you're in and when you're out of their graces independently of any particular referees opinion, once the big decisions over your fate have been made they tend to be strongly deterministic.

The guidelines for mental health and danger to oneself in that context are literally the subjective opinion of a handful of appointed decision- makers who may not all be working from strictly clinical diagnostic criteria (or even training) , but who all do have every motivation to err on the side of caution at your expense, and to do so indefinitely.

There's a contract between LA fitness and someone commiting fraud with my CC. My identity can't be stolen because I still have it - LA Fitness has been defrauded by a 3rd party and they shouldn't involve me in their mess.
Guarded warehouses in the middle of nowhere give at least as wrong image as military base. The areas are mostly next to Finnish military bases and USA will be taking over some Finnish military infrastructure. And the DCA allows for permanent US troops there.

My hunch is that the word "base" is avoided because the public opinion on even NATO bases is split at best, and I'm quite sure US bases are significantly less popular.

If you operate at the scale where you consider the performance implications of foreign keys, you probably are not ok with anyone accessing the database or running just any query against it.

It is not realistic that you can trust everyone who needs to access the data with access to the database as they might easily cause problems with poorly written queries.

Additionally you may want invariants maintained, that the database cannot maintain but an application in front of it can.

Also for historical data or analytical queries postgres is not ideal either, so you probably want to move the data into some OLAP database or datalake.

> I can implement a website as a SSR app that talks directly to the db. Maybe tomorrow I decide I need to work on a web scraper that will use python, instead of adding more API endpoints to allow the scraper to talk to the database, I just talk to the database...

If the website and the scraper are just parts of the same application, it makes sense to do this but if they are genuinely different applications. I would use different databases here.
It is still pretty bad. When you look up old famous crimes, they're usually in there basically for life. Leaving aside cases like the 'I don't like Mondays' girl (44 years and still in there; temporal lobe lesion, possible sociopathy) or the pre-Columbine shooting you probably don't remember recently profiled in NYer (paranoid schizophrenia; https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/12/04/what-happens-t... ) where they had regular guilty pleas, even someone like Reagan's shooter only just got out a few years ago after his family lobbied & paid a fortune for decades. As my old professor liked to say, you had to be crazy to do an insanity defense, because usually you'd be worse off if you won that defense than if you lost another defense.
I feel like Cloudflare is becoming more of a cloud computing platform with a focus on global "instant" delivery of services than a CDN company.

Of course, they're also a really competent CDN company, but they're really leveraging all their experience in that domain to bolster up their compute offerings.
> Because that single application already exists, in my case its postgres.

This is exactly what postgres was designed for! Tens of thousands of hours of work over decades to solve the problem of relational database management. That's why we call it an RDBMS!

Which isn't to say you shouldn't make your own API ever. There are a lot of situations where you don't want things to connect directly to postgres.

But you shouldn't be afraid of having multiple systems connect to postgres. It has incredibly mature and robust features to accommodate that use case. It's the expected use case.

I think it is actually quite an interesting question, and not at all a given that outages and brownouts are unacceptable.

Living in California, I already have the expectation that my power can go out for days, because it does.

We also have experience with rolling blackouts, which were annoying but not that big of a deal.

The real question is how often the public would put up with this.
They stopped charging almost immediately, as soon as the iMessage functionality was broken, and never started again. This is a strawman.
About time. Biorxiv and medrxiv have been doing this for probably half a decade at this point?
Perhaps the wrong term, but it seemed rather dismissive of the rather valid concern that Apple won't take kindly to what they're doing and try to stop them.

Would you be able to elaborate on this and provide some examples, please. With respect to iMessage, that is.

> Only remembering now is a clear and common sign of trauma. This is one of the reasons that explain why so many sex-assaulters are never exposed. Another 'interesting' reason is the revictimization.

Every bit of this is psychobabble. Guy himself is pretty clear he was triggered (ugh) into post-hoc pattern recognition:

> I essentially forgot (havent thought about this in ages) until I read this now

He was very specific in not being surprised if he got spooged on but not recalling anal trauma. I assume wine would not be the last taste he remembered had he quaffed ballsnot. Yet you are coaching him to fill in the memory gaps with a much-worse, speculative story of your own creation.

The real reason why so many sex-assaulters are never exposed is because shit like this wasn't reported to the police (or it never happened in the first place!). This situation is criminal, but maybe it's not actually "trauma" if it was so easily forgettable. Kids block traumatic events out when they can't comprehend them. But as an adult, he could get pipelined into therapy with this "repressed trauma" story, flounder around endlessly, and never find closure for events that didn't happen. He'd keep a therapist employed for a few years though. #mentalhealthawareness

I used to advocate for domestic violence and rape victims before the age of social media. The problem existed back then too but the increase in false claims I've had to deal with ever since (and especially post-COVID, and even from family members) makes me want to stick a gun in my goddamn mouth to get the hell off this rock. I just closed yet another one yesterday; yet another fucking borderline personality ex-girlfriend stalking and harassing her "abuser," sending nudes to his work email and reporting him for it, claiming she's pregnant, threatening suicide, and--surprise--it kicked off by blasting investor relations with "hey one of your executives raped me it was totally rape fr (we were supposed to be together why did he block me!!!)." #believeallwomen

This system is fucked, but the solution is easy-- file a police report around the time of incident or spontaneous discoveries surfacing years later should be dismissed as bullshit. No more excuses. No more grift. No more NLP/reframing/psychobabble. No more histrionics. We have a functional court system where things like evidence are considered, but we've reclassified "crime" as vague "trauma" to shift the venue from public trials to rehearsal behind closed doors of therapists' offices and broadcast on social media. We can make America sane again through adherence to due process.
In my anecdotal experience the religious folks are even harsher and more hostile toward the unhoused than secular people, but that's often because they run "programs" for unhoused people which require religious participation to receive aid, and I think they're chuffed people don't take advantage despite the religious coercion.

The book "Electricity and Magnetism 3rd Edition" by Edward M. Purcell, revised by David J. Morin, has been used for the introductory E&M class for physics majors at Harvard and other universities. It's a classic but is not easy.
>I always saw it as an exceptionally low tolerance for risk.

Big laugh at the claim of intel having a exceptionally low tolerance to risk when they're the only semi company left still running their own fabs, decades after AMD sold off their own for being too risky of a venture to keep running by themselves. And every fab company out there will vouch for how risky that line of business is. Even more so to pour billions into a business like this while knowing Samsung/TSMC might beat you.

More correct would be that Intel has a low tolerance to risk for things that are way outside of their core competencies which have traditionally been designing X86 CPUs and fabbing them, and that's mostly it.

I commend them for not giving up on advancing their fab nodes despite the massive issues and setbacks(they could have spun it off like AMD did), and for building the ARC GPUs and keep improving them despite low sales.
It's hard to imagine that Wikipedia with a centralized authority to handle "validation" would be remotely the same Wikipedia.
AirMessage requires you to run a server on macOS, and Texts only supports iMessage on macOS. That's why Apple doesn't mind, because neither of those services is hacking iMessage itself.
Tech companies are the new modern day conglomerates.

Most of us weren't adults in the 70s when conglomerates ruled the business world and then in the 80s when hedge funds made bank buying them and splitting them up into smaller companies.

Goldman put out a piece about how Microsoft, Google, etc are the new conglomerates that are ready to be broken up. The moat they have now is their insane piles of cash, their profitability, and their huge market caps, which make them very hard to target or to force them to spin out businesses.

Once they start to lag, and it inevitably will happen, they'll start to have more pressure on them to break up into several companies.

Microsoft, Google and Apple all have 3-4 $10+ Billion dollar in annual revenue companies inside of them.

Goldman's thesis is that one of Google, Microsoft, Apple and Amazon won't exist within 10-15 years and its not hard to see a world where that's true.

It could be one of them being acquired(least likely IMHO), one splitting into multiple companies to unlock business protentional(most likely IMHO), or one being forced to divest by a government(probably the EU)

> the AI will make deadly mistakes that no human would make

you'd be surprised what kind of mistakes humans make.

Anyway, snarky comment aside. The biggest reason for optimism is that a world full of AI cars will remove the reptile-brained jostling for position that's 90% the cause of all crashes today, and that it will overall _slow down_ traffic. Slower, calm, tepid moving traffic, a bunch of electric golfcarts puttering around the city. That's a future of AI-only traffic worth signing up for.

You can do with VanJS in this way as well. `set...` functions in React map to `....val = ...` in VanJS (which I think is more intuitive). But the `Await` component is a good abstraction so that you can specify what to show when the resources are being fetched and what to show when there are errors while fetching the resources.
That data is known and we don't have any practical solutions for making a system that works under the expected conditions.

This is what bothers some people.
Deep learning has led scholars to ask 'can AI think like a human?'
Still, free speech is what allows such a project. And Wikipedia also explains philosophical opinions, political positions, NSFW concepts, etc., which is only possible to that extent due to free speech.

So I would disagree both that Wikipedia has nothing to do with free speech, and that it’s not about anybody’s opinions or ideas.
However, there is every chance that circumventing a service's security controls is a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
