> not being a general purpose OS. Sony actually took at away that ability in the PS3 so they aren't trying to pretend they do more than play media

This is just assuming the conclusion. They're general purpose computers that could run arbitrary custom code if their owners weren't locked out of them.

And so are appliances and HVAC systems and so on, which is exactly why the owners shouldn't be locked out of them -- this has significant implications for the entire concept of ownership, right to repair and environmentalism etc. They're all general purpose computers, and they should be.

> the hardware and software is ephemeral. In 10 years IOS and Android will exist. We will likely be on the PS6 and 2 more generations of Nintendo in that time. There's less incentive to bother opening up an OS that is abandoned every generation.

But this is making exactly the opposite argument -- it should be opened up because otherwise it will be abandoned and no one else can support it. Likewise, the newer system should be opened up so people can make it run the older games, or the games from other systems from other vendors, whenever possible.

> due to the model of consoles, most of them lose money on sales so they can invoke more software sales. And on top of that, larger studios get direct support from Nintendo/Sony. There is negative incentive for a studio to ruin this relationship unless more companies start making consoles themselves.

This is called a predatory business model, the equivalent of printer makers selling the printer below cost so they can stick you for the ink. There is a serious argument for banning it outright; it's certainly nothing we need to worry about protecting.

For me the only truly compelling C++ features are RAII and generics (not classes or virtual functions), and those are compelling enough for me to not consider C when I can choose C++. From what I can tell, the Rust designers seem to have felt the same way.

How the hell is someone supposed to review your pull request if you don't take the time to clean it up?

I normally go through every single individual commit when reviewing something and find the commit messages extremely helpful to understand what some change is supposed to do.

Yes, cleaning up your commits takes some time butt I don't see an alternative if you don't work alone and want your code to stay maintainable.

What you are describing is a textbook case of no irreparable harm.

Legally, if later money damages suffice to make someone whole, it is not considered irreparable harm. By definition:
"Irreparable harm is a legal term that refers to harm or injury that cannot be adequately compensated or remedied by any monetary award or damages that may be awarded later. "

Irreparable harm is like "they are going to physically destroy the i'm trying to save".

Not "we'll lose money".
A typical US residential breaker panel is rated for between 100 and 200 amps so probably around there across all circuits without major electrical work.
Maybe Tesla is just hyper-focused on Silicon Valley? I could see brakes fluid lasting that long in such a nice climate. In Northern Europe where lower part of the car is in salty water bath for 6 months a year… Checking brake fluid LEVEL every 4 years feels like looking for a trouble.
Nothing grim about it, it is not "enshittification" but actually offering value in exchange for a fee.
It is. Just like when lots of outlets published puff pieces on how Patagonia "gave away the company to fight climate change". Don't get me wrong, Patagonia definitely is working to help the environment, but the 98% of shares owned by the charitable trust have no voting rights and the transition offers big tax benefits for the owner's family.

You are assuming that the only reason Barnawi went to the ISS is because of her ethnicity. I looked her up, and turns out she is conducting experiments on ISS in her field of biomedical research.

You might counter that she was selected by the wealthy Saudi authorities as a PR stunt.

That's probably also true to some extent, but how is that different than the than how space travel was used for PR/patriotic purposes in the US and Russia for in the past?

A lot of space travel throughout it's history is openly about selling aspiration.

That implies having a choice to buy less or more of a service. Healthcare often does not give that choice.
Except that, in basically every other developed nation, healthcare is _more_ regulated, if not nationalized, and has better performance for substantially lower cost.

The invisible hand(job) can't save you from areas where there is no significant profit to be made. In many cases, it's most cost effective to simply let people die. That's the problem with focusing exclusively on profit motives in healthcare.
>Reducing barriers so that anyone can pursue their dreams seems like a worthwhile and humanistic goal.

Sure, and what you treat as a positive reward signal towards this goal is important. If you treat having 10% more of X in field Y, as a positive, then why not 20% or better yet 50%? It leads to artificial results.
The ED is the primary source of hospital admissions so I don’t think the two are that separable.
Is it good for conversion when I give up out of frustration at your broken store and decide to just get the thing on Amazon instead?

This isn't just hypothetical: for a while I was using QFC (Kroger) for grocery pickup, but after one too many instances of adding an item to my cart and then only finding out at checkout that a third of my items weren't actually available, I said to hell with it and switched to doing all that at Whole Foods instead, since their inventory counts are actually correct.

According to the article, this penalty is more than half their annual profits last year.

From the press statement[1]:

I was confused by this, since Volkswagen has paid over $20b over several years because of their Clean Air Act violations from 2015, but it's not clear to me how much was paid to the government and how much were costs incurred from recalls, customer lawsuits, legal fees, etc.

Agreed, mostly, as Id like to point out that the iOS software is abandoned/shut down at approximately the same cadence as new consoles are launched. Rare’s the still-available app that was last updated pre-iOS 10…let alone iOS 5 or pre-retina iOS.
I made one of these ESP8266-based clocks[1], which has a little web UI to configure it, including the brightness of the LEDs. I commented out some of the code (Octoprint, Bitcoin etc.) since I wanted it to be a simple as possible. Even at the lowest brightness the LED matrix can do I found it too bright for my bedroom, but covering it with a thick sheet of paper worked well, in daylight you can't see it's on at all (which is fine, I am not looking at it), at night it's just readable enough.

Please explain, outside of searching for population level patterns, AI will help here.

Population level statistics has lead to a large number of algorithms that have been proven wrong for medical conditions.

BMI, dietary cholesterol, vitamin D, etc...

Auto differentiation is an incredible tool, but I don't see how it will truly be a 'miracle' like vitamin D, which in hindsight is clearly over fitting combined with a correlation that wasn't acausal connection.

ML is extremely powerful, but not for individuals for the same reason statistics is great for populations but not individual.

This is the 'common sense' problem that both fields struggle with and need to correct for. Ethical problems with empirical testing in humans complicating the problem when applying ML or statistics to medical problems complicates that too.
The problem is that if I write

struct Foo
{
int Bar(const Baz& b1, const Baz& b2) const;

The compiler can't reasonably do anything helpful with it _because_ of the above rules. Once you peek behind that curtain, it kind of crumbles.

Is there any solid proof of this? It seems that Flutter is not used in any notable apps and React Native is used even by the big players in the field. I have yet to see a single high quality app made with Flutter and literally the only app I’m using that is made with it is the one I’m working on. React Native seems massively popular in comparison. It really feels that the stats that show Flutter being popular are not really measuring real life use. The Flutter ecosystem seems especially tiny and it has close to no support from 3rd parties, even Google treats Flutter as a second class platform when it comes to libraries like Google Ads.

One big problem I see with this, is it sounds like you're proposing we dramatically expand the scope of registrar duties while also proposing we stop paying them.

Where are they going to get the money to fund their nuanced and mindful enforcement of usage based rights? Is a team of legal specialists going to review domain applications for less than $15/y?

It sounds like your concern is that private companies are making a lot of rent off public goods. I could have an incorrect understanding of this, but isn't it all run by ICANN at the end of the day? A solution might be to make sure the rent captured on domains goes back into funding public goods. Like a digital land value tax.
A successful company needs to sell something scarce. Open source software is by definition not really a scarce good, so you need to find something adjacent to it that is, and that can be a lot trickier.

There needs to be a focus on competitive markets instead of free markets. Competition is mostly good for customers but competition needs to be created by regulating the market to some degree. Otherwise markets will almost always be taken over slowly by the biggest players that don’t like competition.
I think a lot about how hard it is for us to imagine a better world. My foot kind of hurts. It’s been this way for years and I’ve changed shoes to something that’s better but I’d love to have it looked at by a podiatrist. But also every time I visit the doctor, despite having insurance, I end up having to pay a lot of money. So maybe I don’t see a doctor about my foot. It’s fine.

But in a better world I wouldn’t have any reason not to get my foot checked up on. Maybe there is something that could be done for it and maybe it makes my life better. Or it’s fine and I get peace of mind and stop worrying.

Now multiply this across the entire population. What if everyone had lower barriers to health care. The amount of population wide well being would increase a lot. And that’s the part I think we usually have a hard time conceptualizing when we think about a better world. But it’s a very real possibility!

Doesn't that have more to do with Michael Milken pioneering junk bonds, which then vastly expanded the available credit?

As in: The fact that the 80s had comparatively high interest rates doesn't matter to the argument, as the necessary infrastructure to issue and trade high yield corporate debt quickly didn't exist - so in some sense effective interest rates dropped from infty to something, enabling the entire LBO model.

And since then, with the exception of the recent hiccup, the long term trend in interest rates has been downward?

What's your read?
Android has moved to a file system model that generally locks app out of having full control of any folder but the one created for the app. The only way to let your app have read-write-create permissions is to request access to the whole file system. And IIRC, you have to get permission from Google to even request it.

It makes it very difficult to have something like a Git client on Android as well, as the permission to request file system access is not easily granted.

For a typical house in my parts (Finland), it would be 230V and 3 x 25A fuses, so maximum power draw is 17kW.

Most houses would be able to upgrade to 35A without extensive reworking of cables, getting to a 24kW maximum.

Also 50A and 63A are available for consumers in most locations, but would require re-evaluating the cabling coming to the house.

There is nothing wrong with Marlin, especially not for the purposes Prusa uses it for.

Marlins biggest weakness is needing to recompile for some things because they are defined by compile-time. All other things like active input shaping calibration can be added relatively easy.
Or how about just non-profit? Regardless of the options, private equity seems like the worst one and should probably be illegal.

> Nobody while having a heart-attack stops and thinks about shopping around for a lower price. "hmmm, about to die, let me see if I have any coupons".

Well in theory that's the point of insurance. You comparison shop insurance before having a heart attack, then if an attack happens you're covered.

Of course many people just wouldn't buy insurance unless forced ... many breadwinners die leaving their families nothing because they don't think of buying life insurance.
I don't know about floundering either, but Bambu has absolutely changed Prusa, but imo it's for the better.

"Apple disagrees that they violated any of Masimo’s patents (and most of them were indeed dismissed in court so far). If they can win that legal battle, that will be the better outcome for Apple long-term. So that’s the route they’re going."

It may surprise you to learn that it's totally common to have patent settlement agreements where you retain your right to appeal, and only owe money if the appeal fails.

So they can in fact likely both get things back on the shelves, and still appeal.

Quarto, I think, is definitely a step in the right direction. It allows for publication quality rendering into pdf, and various html flavors including Confluence. You can write fluently in it, mix-in actual running code, and you've got options for sophisticated graphics, tables and mathematics.
