We were all 18 year olds, but we (hopefully) never stalked and harassed women, as is noted in TFA.

And don't use autism as an excuse - my mother teaches autistic teenagers and none of them have committed amoral stuff such as violence and harassment.

Also, an 18 year old is an adult.
That’s correct, but it’s not a “monumental waste of talent”
> but other companies had EVs out at the same time or before

Making EV mainstream is about more then a big company throwing a few batteries into an existing car platform. It was about shifting perceptions, starting a public conversation and making people actual demand EVs. And making EV profitable.

> and the price drop in lithium was obvious to everyone who was paying attention at the time.

Ah that's why Tesla is such a small an insignificant company now, because everybody else knew everything. Brilliant logic.

> It would have happened one way or another.

That is literally what Musk has said for 20 years. Its gone happen anyway, Tesla is about making it happen faster. And his building of the Roaster, Model S were clearly huge steps. Building the Gigafactory Nevada was a huge signal, and lead to a huge amount of investment all threw the supply chains, and lots of companies thinking bigger. The biggest European battery maker is people who helped build Giga Nevada and then went and started a new battery company in Europe.

The Model 3 reaching profitability was a absolutely huge signal in the automotive industry. Tesla building it with 20%+ margin was a literal bomb in the industry. Until that point it was almost universally believed that high volume EV were just not gone be possible. After that pretty much all car companies accelerated their EV strategies.

How this nonsense claim gets repeated over and over again is just beyond me. Anybody who still argues this is just willfully ignorant at this point.

And more then 2 million people disagree with you and that number is growing.

The inherent permission in your worldview is just sad and depressing. Everything bad must happen even when most experts agree it wont happen.

And yet even decent HiDPI displays (I'm talking 300ppi+) are barely a thing outside of the Apple ecosystem, or affordable. Seems like everyone is okay with 20 year-old display resolutions and keep pushing instead for higher refresh rates. I for one just don't want pixelated/blurry fonts and care little for refresh rates.
According to the article, the insurance covered it.. does insurance in GB cover this if there was no collision with anything?
It sounds like they’re suggesting it work similarly to malpractice insurance for doctors.
Yep; everyone likes a David vs Goliath story. Then again, Y Combinator invested in the seed round for Beeper, so there's that. ;)
The real problem is the assumption race or gender are not only accurate proxies for diversity of thought (they’re not), but that they’re actually better proxies than just looking for diversity of thought directly.

You want more people from poor backgrounds so that you can take into account lower socioeconomic viewpoints? Well, the modern DEI answer to that is hire a black person. The correct answer is to hire someone that grew up poor.
As much as people hate on the EU, this is their sort of jam, EU should ban misuse of things like USB. Bam, problem solved. They even sorted out "we wer alwuz planin 2 use USB c, it wuz our plan all alung" Apple.
That sounds like railroads but worse. What's the advantage? Tunneling is incredibly expensive to do, yet you're proposing it in a situation where it'd need enough coverage so as to ban large freight transport over roads.
These aren't numbers, but a quick intuition reminder: nuclear-powered ablation drives are really good and we are really good at building them.

That's how you turn a fission bomb into a fusion bomb. If you just put LiD in a fission bomb, it doesn't squeeze hard enough. If you focus the x-rays from a fission bomb onto an ablation drive, it does squeeze hard enough and you 1000x+ the yield with fusion. Which is why fusion bombs look like metal peanuts.

Conveniently, this means we are also really good at designing x-ray reflectors and lenses that focus the primary output of a nuclear bomb for the purposes of building ablation drives. Depending on just how good, we could probably persuade an asteroid pusher to be far more unidirectional than one typically pictures from a "bomb," if we set it off some distance away and focused the x-rays in the direction of the asteroid.
They are required in China, but the hotspot functionality isn’t. At least give me an option to turn it off.

I think you greatly overestimate how big of a deal this lack of user choice is to most people.

Nobody needs to be dedicated to a lack of choice/freedom for Apple's business model to work.

Being begrudgingly ok with it works just as well, just like they don’t price their products at “oh wow, that’s a steal, I’ll take one as a spare”, but rather somewhere close to “oh wow, but I guess I don’t buy this every day, and maybe with an installment plan…”
Surprisingly it’s not easy, and depending on the field it can be quite challenging. The reason for this is that TeX captures the visual aspects of typesetting, not the semantic meaning of the mathematics.

A simple example is ‘\sum’ which provides no way to capture the expression being summed over - because that’s not necessary for typesetting. That’s not the case in, say, MathML.

Writing MathML is no fun though because mathematical formulae are visually ambiguous and we rely on the context to know how to read them, e.g. does ‘f(x - 1)’ mean function f called with argument x - 1, or does it mean variable f multiplied by x - 1?

Yeah, core 3 and 3.5 was broken. You want to make an overpowered character? Play a straight cleric, but don’t bother healing the rest of the party. I have no desire to replay those editions.
That's not true; there is nothing preventing anyone from serving ads without tracking, and I'm pretty sure there are solutions out there that do exactly that, even if they're not the most commonly used. Like I said, ads were viable in print, well before the internet.

Just <img href="/ad.png"> would work, and has no tracking and is essential the same as print media ads (or those YouTube sponsors for that matter). While this would probably net in less income than e.g. the Google ad stuff, it's completely viable and I'm sure there are people and companies doing something like that.

But uBlock will block that, because it's an adblocker and not a trackblocker, and that's clearly an ad. That's perfectly fine, but what I want is a trackblocker
I mean it only takes an afternoon if you're just making it for yourself.
Central to OOP is message passing between objects. Few languages utilize message passing, so it seems you can decouple components without OOP just fine.
> And honestly, no one wants to work on holidays.

Actually I bet some people like it (I know I do). It's not that crazy to want to dodge the whole mad rush and take lots of time off later in the year when it's actually nice outside. Summer vacation beats winter vacation, so if you have to take days off in the winter there's pressure to try and get somewhere warm where the days are longer. Besides. The "office" is quiet, even if you're a telecommuter, so it's easy to get things done. If you're not touching production, that's fine, there's usually all kinds of fun or quality-of-life projects around tech debt, tooling, whatever. Lots of important work is actually easier to do during a change-freeze or other downtime.
> I find it very difficult to believe that Apple is going to incorporate AI hardware into their device and then open it up to everyone freely.

The Core ML API for using the neural processing features of Apple's chips has been in there for a while and plenty of developers are using it.
Yep. Nvidia spent 20 years maneuvering and creating the trends and markets they are now benefiting from. Anyone saying they've just been benefiting from a boom like it was some sort of complete externality has not been paying attention. If that was the case, ATI would still be an independent company, and Nvidia would have overextended themselves trying to chase the crypto mining market. No, it took 20 years of courting academics and iterating on technologies capable of replacing pre-CUDA "supercomputers" to get Nvidia and the AI industry to where it is today. 20 years of cajoling TSMC to take the next leap of faith on scaling processes for them. 20 years of maneuvering to avoid overextending themselves while also avoiding platforms and integrators trying to suck margin away from them. And if you look at their stock price over those 20 years, there were times when the market took a very dim view of these efforts. Times that many other CEOs would have thrown in the towel and shut down projects.

Without CUDA and Nvidia silicon, I'm not convinced the AI boom would have happened any time within this decade.
> Diversity is good for business.

It's not clear to me that it is either good or bad for business. Why is this stated as a matter of fact. And please spare me links to studies funded by special interest groups.

> You want people from different backgrounds and different ways of thinking.

Define "different backgrounds". Why is only reduced to the color of someone's skin or sex? Why not people who grow up as Atheist, Christian, Buddhist, etc? Or those who grew up as a single child? Or played team sports? Don't all these things play a role in shaping who someone is?

Some people just like to worth with really intelligent, hard working people and don't care anything else about the person. And some people want to work with people like themselves. I probably fall into the former, but who am I to dictate what model creates the most success for a business (assuming that's the goal)

If you are hiring the first 5 employees of a company you started, I think DEI will be the last thing on your mind. So why does DEI suddenly become so important 50+ employees later?
> If there were no ads anywhere on the internet than everything would be on an even playing field.

In one dimension. Maybe.

Influencers would still be a thing. So would SEO. The web would be like some medieval map with vast uncharted territories and "here be dragons" but also the few known sites where everyone in the known web lives.

Unless we dismantle media and tech monopolies, they will still dominate that web.
The corporate spin on this being a positive is hollow. Buick dealerships disappearing may be good for those remaining dealerships in the short run, but not for the Buick brand. They won't sell more cars with less dealerships.

I took a look at both the Buick and Chevy lineup of SUVs and Crossovers and I wouldn't know one from the other if I saw one on the street. Same goes for most any brand right now.
I'm not sure where you're going with this. A bunch of people wrote macros for TECO. Moon and Steele collected them and standardized them. The set of standardized macros is Emacs.

Thus, Emacs originally was a set of macros to standardize key bindings across multiple editors that existed at the time, exactly as GP said.
This bullshit business theater "recommendation" is a joke lifted from a movie.
That is certainly a popular claim but I question how true it really is. I find modern development processes with this emphasis are often comically inefficient. In particular a lot of people who are used to working under those processes seem to dramatically underestimate how much drag the rushed decisions and accumulating tech debt will add to their entire project and how quickly that drag effect will be felt.
Google referring to any of this as “privacy” is deceiving.

Crikey. The last time I had a prang was around 2006.

I was driving a two year old Honda S2000. I span out on a roundabout and rear ended a road sign pole, via a flower bed - it smashed a tail light cover, slightly crushed one of the two tail pipes/exhausts and the rear number plate and its holder fell out.

The car from new was something like £35,000. I had it on contract hire, which means I rented it. The insurance was quite expensive because it is a sports car, and I had a lot of no claims bonus etc, so I decided to get it fixed outside the insurance but they were notified as were Honda etc. I got a quote from the local Honda garage and it was roughly £3,500. A friend's dad owns a garage. He sourced original Honda parts and fixed it for around £1,600.

So we march forward 17 years and things are badly wrong.
Also, the $8 billion includes building the train station under the Transbay Terminal. Train stations, especially underground ones, are really expensive.

Plus, it is digging a tunnel for the tracks.
If you disable the font rule

:root, [data-theme=light] {

it switches to "Noto Serif" that is way easier on the eyes.
Nah, I disagree.

From where I'm at, the little victories do not add up or 'scale' in SV parlance.

(Now, granted, I'm focusing on increasing a country's birthrate here, not on individuals. That's a separate discussion than the one I'm having in this comment)

Like, we see in the data that these very expensive little programs and attempts to get the birthrate up seem to not really get more babies out there. In fact, it seems that the more that a family has coming in, the less kiddos they have.

From my seat, what I see is that governments are trying to do these very expensive 20/80 rule kinda things. Stuff like 1.5 years of parental leave, Nordic birth boxes, free school meals, etc. Many countries are doing all this kinda stuff at once, sorta, for a little while. And it's not really seeming to move the needle much all the same.

That's kinda my point. It's not that you can do a program here and see a spike in birthrate, or an initiative there and see another spike. Birthrates and having kids is a whole circle thing where, I think, you're only really going to get a real change in the birthrate if you do a lot of these very expensive programs all at once. The snowball effect does not work with birthrates, I think. You gotta do avalanches. And yeah, that's a near impossible thing to make happen without tyrannical power.
> Regarding the correct "saving snapshots to a data warehouse", if there are one million web apps in the world, how many of them have the scale to noticeably benefit from either doing without foreign keys or from a data warehouse?

Yes I agree. This advice was assuming you have scale that necessitates multiple services, at which point you'll want to be able to query against data from multiple sources. I'm with you that the vast majority of teams (finger in the air: less than 20 full-time engineers working on a typical web app) are probably better off with a monolith and single database. At this point a read replica is a low effort way to safely provide access to a wide range of stakeholders.

Maybe because that particular sentence wasn't an argument at all but rather an illustration?

I dunno. The author drops 'Nazi' a dozen times or more before the footnote that clarifies its usage as the modern, political pejorative rather than describing actual Nazi activity.

I'm sure that sort of shit is there, somewhere, but this article does not actually deliver the goods.
You're not making any points.
Probably because those usually talking about "extinction" are dogwhistling a race based extinction and are parroting white supremacist talking points. I can't tell if this poster is doing so, but now you know!
I disagree in most cases of 18-year-olds specifically, but even if I didn't, I think you should amend your original post to make your point more specific. It's hard to read it as not excusing his violence to some degree based on the comment you were replying to, even with a generous reading.

There are still whole areas in linguistics and archaeology where the current consensus still exists partly as word of mouth, in lecturers’ handouts or in Powerpoint slides at conferences. That is, materials that likely weren’t part of ChatGPT’s training. Consequently, anything ChatGPT would tell you is based on more popular treatments of the subject that might reflect views that are now superseded.
This posts advice isn’t good because structuredClone performance is poor. Theres a small custom function I use for this which has much better performance.

I hear the "catastrophic implosion" argument a lot but it doesn't sound right to me. I never shot at a vacuum chamber but my guess is that it will just create a leak, which is bad, will probably stop traffic for a while before it is repaired and the vacuum reestablished, but nothing catastrophic.

A bomb would be a serious threat, the shockwave from both the explosion and rapid decompression, but I believe it can be mitagated. Bombs are bad for pretty much everything anyways.

The other problem is if the walls don't break but the pipe crumples. But this is more likely to have a self-sealing effect, and with enough overbuilding, it shouldn't cause a chain reaction.

I don't believe in hyperloop, but I think catastrophic implosions are rather low in the list of reasons why it won't happen. It doesn't even make it at the top of safety related reasons.
Yeah, I have friends in TN that are at ~1k/wk per kid. So 3 kids would cost that much. They only have one kid right now though.
I know I appear to be in the minority here, but I trust google to categorize and share my "interests" more than I do random websites (plus, I use enough Google products that they have that info anyway), and I prefer targeted ads to totally irrelevant ones (like the garbage ads on twitter). I'll be leaving this on, since it doesn't have any tangible negative impact.
Use cases like what?
I still think Apple has a missed opportunity with iMessage - dual platform support 10 years ago would mean no WhatsApp, which is universal is much of the world. Hindsight is always 20/20 I guess.
It’s not “a few”. Parallel landings allow double the throughput.
It's an extremely bad idea to go and build from scratch a do-everything game engine with AAA 3D capabilities, but there is absolutely space for engines with a very specific focus.

If you want to make a VN, would you rather open up a blank project in Unity or just use Ren'Py?

In the commercial space, RPG Maker and GameMaker continue to exist.
> They do have proper authorization because the keys in question are valid iMessage keys and they are being used by the same individuals those iMessage keys are allocated to. They're not trying to commit any further crime post-access.

Authorization in the legal sense of the CFAA is permission, plain and simple.

The ToS and EULA explicitly only allow using the iMessage service on Apple hardware, so any other form without explicit permission by Apple is unauthorized.

Spoofing device credentials to fool the server and gain an authentication blob definitely doesn’t fall under authorized access.

But even with legitimately attained credentials you can still be in violation. Ex employees of a corporation, finding a device with credentials on it, etc.

Whether they commit any further crime or not is irrelevant for criminal liability.

> Does it? This seems like a pretty textbook case of reverse engineering for interoperability.

The DMCA exception only applies to interoperability for legally acquired (e.g., licensed) software.

But it doesn’t really matter but because ToS and license clauses that explicitly prohibit it overrule it, see Bowers v. Baystate Technologies, 320 F.3d 1317 (Fed. Cir. 2003)[0]

> Probably the case they're hoping for a lawsuit on - the degree to which Apple has legitimate claim to control use of the iMessage protocol given their market presence. In the process of the lawsuit, if Apple is found to be leveraging this protocol anti-competitively, they're in trouble.
And beyond that, Apple is a highly litigious company with great lawyers and extremely deep pockets and large incentives to defend their ownership of the messaging market.
That they've been this slow to sue Beeper probably signals enough on its own that there's probably no field day to be had.

This reads like a Gish gallop with a bunch of weak arguments that border fantasy.

There is no “Apple in trouble” when it comes to iMessage and there are no signals.

I don’t know where you get this from but I suggest seeking better sources on understanding legal standards and ramifications.

I find it's good to work outside the bubble of modern web/SAAS development from time to time. It doesn't always pay as well but it does maintain a sense of perspective and an awareness of what is possible. Changing cultures is hard but working somewhere with a healthier culture can be easier.
No, it would eliminate most news sites, and little value would be lost. Frankly, net value might be created that way. People will still write about things that happen, and people will still read that, and money just won't change hands. Or people will read paid news, and the quality will almost certainly improve as a result.
I'm referring more to botched semantics here: either you steal something - then it must have pre-existed - or you generate something - then it cannot have pre-existed. You cannot generate stolen pictures.
