> And this is also a gross miscarriage of justice, and basically is uncontrolled rampant taxation.

I agree wholeheartedly. The world you appear to want (similar enough I think to the one I want) isn't the one we live in though, so it'd be weird to grant SpaceX special privileges. This won't be the start of a grassroots movement to fix that injustice; it'll be one exemption to let SpaceX fuck over their employees, customers, and shareholders a bit more easily.
Should there be an expiration date on grandfathering of airliner type certificates? Should manufacturers be required to update designs for new production airliners after, let's say, 30 years? The original Boeing 737 entered service in 1968 so even working at a slow pace with minimal resources they could have redesigned and recertified it multiple times in that period.
> which, in case you forgot, Microsoft won on appeal

I was under the impression that Microsoft won in the sense that the punishment was undone, but merely due to procedural issues in the trial: that they seemed to have done the thing they weren't supposed to have done stood after the appeal.

> Ultimately, the Circuit Court overturned Jackson's holding that Microsoft should be broken up as an illegal monopoly. However, the Circuit Court did not overturn Jackson's findings of fact, and held that traditional antitrust analysis was not equipped to consider software-related practices like browser tie-ins.

> Start there, and work through those emotions.

Do have any advice for how to deal with the associated negative emotions?

They seem kind of endless, and I'm not really sure what to do with them. I've tried things like mindfulness, meditation, journaling, talking about them and so on. But they just keep coming back, it's like they can't be resolved. It's quite painful, and I'm at a loss.

It's not like progress will get to a certain point and then just stop. If terorists reach the point of being able to bomb anyone they want, an insane amount of resources will be directed at stopping that and new countering methods will be developed.
> The EU has an average density of 112 people per square km compared to 36 in the USA.

Isn't that a misleading statistic, though? It's not like the USA is an evenly spread wasteland in comparison to Continental Europe. It's more like pockets of high population density throughout, which trains can handle perfectly well. Russia and Ukraine are similar in that they're pockets of cities separated by miles of steppe. Both are known for heavily using rail travel.

Hell, wasn't the USA built on the back of continental rail travel during its industrial revolution?
if it's a human factor nightmare, it's not a valid solution, because there are humans involved.
The father of my kids disappeared 3 months ago. We couldn’t track his whereabouts as he was not even picking his calls. We filed a missing person’s report in vain since the authorities had no news about him. I didn’t know what to do, I was scared and angry at the same time so I got an online private investigator to trace him. To my surprise, this man was well and kicking. I got to access his phone and learnt that he is New York living a completely different life, as evident in the conversations he has. I still spy on him so I know all his moves. I worked with Cyberpunk Programmers and they only needed his phone number to get this information. Email them cyberpunk@programmer.net
They've directly implemented a classic design of a DAC by using an external component. You can buy DACs that are exactly this. You can also implement a DAC with digital IO and some resistors. But, having things integrated is nice, and often cheaper. :)

The Ukrainian drone frames are almost all 7"-10" carbon fiber pieces machined out from a sheet in China. About $15. Speedybee (Also China) took over the ESC and controller market by undercutting everyone by 50%. The blades can't be 3D printed because they need to be smooth and strong, but China again sells them for $1. Motors, China. Ukrainian volunteers are assembling them en masse.

China is also selling the same stuff to Russia. Some local manufacturing is being attempted (for instance I have seen a Ukrainian made ESC board and Russian steel frames) but China pricing and quality is really difficult to compete against.

Russia is beginning to ramp up drone production in real factories and I suspect they will eventually out-produce Ukraine, who is easily building 10K/month right now.

The thing about Xcode and associated tools is that they heavily rely on the entire Apple platform stack and would be quite a bear to port to other platforms. The iOS simulator, for example, simply runs the iOS userland on top of the core shared between macOS and iOS rather than emulating a full device. It might be practical to release CLI tools for cross-compilation but anything beyond that would be quite expensive.

Apple could afford to do this work of course, but the ROI of doing so is questionable. Ignoring the hit to Mac sales, it opens their platforms up to vast amounts of low effort shovelware — far more than already exists on the App Store. That’s the natural consequence of access to a platform being a single tickbox away.

Of course the actual problem might come down to lack of tools and services that push junkware into the gutters where it belongs while putting quality apps in the spotlight, but I’m not confident that this will magically appear should iOS as a platform be opened up.
Er, no, not really? I live in Sweden and a large slice of society take the trains. Ditto everywhere else I've been in Western Europe. Is it possible that your train network specifically is mediocre?

It sounds kind of like the online dating dynamic: One side spams requests into the void, knowing they're going to get MAYBE a 0.1% response rate, and the other side is inundated with requests and are overwhelmed with the task of sorting through the 99.9% unacceptable ones. Everyone is looking for drinkable water. Candidates are in a desert with no water in sight and employers are in a swamp full of water--none of it drinkable.

Apple launders the location features of Apple Maps through platform location service controls. iOS will never, ever prompt you about Maps' own background location access. The controls for Maps' background location access are buried in System Services, and are defaulted on, and do not produce the tracking nag. The fact that the first-party Weather app is not also immune to the nag doesn't seem material.

The whole situation is in stark contrast to Android, where if you throw the phone in a drawer for a few months the platform will automatically revoke all of the privacy allowances of Google's own apps. Which is maybe not great, since resuming the use of such a device is sort of impossible (it will prompt you for shit like whether Phone is allowed to record audio), but you can't say it's anti privacy.
It's so seamless that I was racing someone through Belgium and only realised I'd entered the Netherlands when I got a text telling me I was on a Dutch phone network!

You really don't need to be so cynical, some things just need time. Light bulbs were patented only after 40 years of work by multiple researchers, and it took another half a century of work to achieve decent efficiency. Neural networks themselves have been in development for 50 years before taking off recently, and for most of that time people working in the field were considered nuts by their peers.

But if you have concrete criticism on the idea feel free to articulate.

Isn't 30% standard across pretty much every App Store? Steam does not have lock in and yet I thought charged 30%, GoG is 30%, etc.

Obviously other app stores could in principle charge lower amounts because they don't actually have to do any development work, unlike google or apple who both actually do real development work for products after they've been sold. Despite that GoG and Steam seem to charge 30% anyway.

I'm curious what you think the development model for companies that aren't just store fronts should be if they aren't able to make money from development, especially given they appear to be charging that same amount as those companies that aren't doing anything other than providing a store front? Maybe software updates should cost money again? Or you should only get one year of updates for a device? Maybe free apps should be banned as well? After all supporting those costs money but makes none?

I'm genuinely curious how you think development should be paid for when 15-30% is too high for developers but fine for store fronts?
I'm sure there are a mix of reasons. It's definitely significant for us and as we went to Cornwall this year we spoke to people on the way there and way back who offered this without promting for why they took the train. Different people may choose trains for a mix of different reasons.

Wonder if the Co-pilot feature will map to a "normal" keystroke; similar to how you can pull up the Start Menu on a keyboard without the Start button with a Ctrl-Escape.

re: delaying purchases. Someone I worked with years ago told me about how they shop for stuff that I found immensely helpful.

When they find something interesting online, they add it to their cart but do not check it out for two weeks.

If they're still interested in the thing then, that means that they are more likely to use it, which justifies checking it out and buying it.

If they are wondering why that's in their cart by then, then they avoided an impulse purchase for something that would likely go unused.
>I think you may be underestimating the number of takedowns that are impossible to appeal.

Maybe. I have never received one, nor do I know anyone who has.

I am also very careful about what I upload. I have paid a lot of money in fees to license content when it’s been necessary, and otherwise I would rather not take chances.

Despite that, on one memorable occasion I had to fight it out with Sony Music. That dispute almost went to court, and I had a university’s First Amendment legal clinic defending my side. Fortunately, Sony Music backed down. That wasn’t fun, though.

>That description seems slanted to the most favorable possible case for Sony and YouTube, there. A very common case is "used two seconds of footage for fair use commentary on it", or "used no footage at all, and the claim is a mistake", and those claims can't be appealed either.

You might be right, though I was trying to describe the reason I think those contracts exist. I wasn’t saying anything definite, nor was I saying they are a good thing, though I probably implied it.

I do have personal experience having my company’s content infringed by a YouTube channel run by someone in Vietnam, and who filed a counter-notification in response to a takedown notice, despite their infringement being blatant. Suing someone overseas is ridiculously expensive, and they were probably judgment-proof anyway. It sucked.

Regarding your other point, I don’t think it’s possible to have Content ID automatically match audio that is less than ten seconds long. It used to be, but it’s not anymore.
In my experience, you get 10x to 100x gains easily switching to something lighter than Rails, like Roda.

There is not a lot of money in interoperability, so this is not an issue with the technology in itself, but the manufacturers will to implement it.

Distributed embedded computing isn't new at all, and one can run any sorts of fancy software on an ESP32 if need be, e.g. AtomVM.

HarmonyOS is a shot at technology independence, which is a fine goal in itself, but the chances of it being successful in Europe or the US are minimal at best.
I gave my friends the following advice.

Push yourselves away from AI trend tools and learn what is what before falling into this trap.

In the era of AI those who can think, draw, write, code and be the best in their craft without it will rule the rest. Simple and clear. Prompting is not a skill which will differentiate (except for AI devs, as a part of fine-tuning the model's output).

The real danger of AI is not getting agency ang killing us (yet).

The real danger, in my view, is normalization and trust into technology which "hallucinates" and obtains a formidable property with a name "The Black Box".

The AtTiny85 had a great setup for it though, a high speed PWM clock which gives you a 250khz carrier, so just use another hardware timer interrupt every 20khz or so to calculate the waveform and change the PWM duty cycle and boom - music on a pin!
The article doesn't actually quantify them going downhill at all. Only that they've lost some luster with their fans. I honestly attribute it more to them being a victim of their own success. A Wirecutter endorsement is now so valuable that I suspect brands are deliberately gaming the system in some way to get a plaudit from them. I've bought more than a few items they've endorsed in the past few years and they've all held up very well.

> This EOL date is a generous one. Like my organization, most others I know have already completed their migration from CentOS to RHEL/Fedora/Rocky/Alma/etc during the early part of 2023. Thus, these 6 months are mainly for the few outliers who have not.

I can't disprove your anecdote but do you think this is really true? Orgs who ran CentOS likely did so with the idea that they'd have a very long time to migrate to something different. CentOS 8 nominally had support until something like 2032, so it seems like a really major change to go from almost a decade to a little over a year to migrate away.

It doesn't change the risk (benefit) side of the cost/benefit equation, but it does change the cost side.

To illustrate why this matters, imagine a more extreme situation, where it was somehow discovered that a similar flaw existed in all Boeing and Airbus jets. If a single new jet were being developed that had a similar risk, it could be enough to prevent certification, but we wouldn't stop all air travel because of it - the cost would be too high.

Grounding just MAX jets obviously wouldn't have that degree of impact, but the cost to airlines and to passengers would still be significant.

Aren't plane just as often late ?

My hypothesis is that planes are just as often late but people complain less because :

1. They have already taken the whole day because getting to the airport, booking, security... so they don't care as much about a two hours delay.

2. They have some respect for the fact that we are allow to fly and see that as big technical challenge depending on weather and good security practices. On the other hand a train *seems* trivial when in reality it's not. Psychologically for most people it's just putting some cars on rails and it will basically drive itslef to its destination.
I am skeptical of anyone making grandiose claims.
My understanding is that the real problem is twofold:

First, some proprietary software only supports a subset of distributions. Debian is rarely on that list. RHEL, for some time, has been a safe default.

Second, IT organizations only want to support one distribution when at all possible.. As such, RHEL and CentOS made a lot of sense. RHEL and Debian means twice the work.

That said, it's going to have to change. $349 for every 2 VMWare images (as I understand it) plus $2499 for every 2 processor sockets adds up.
The responses here feel a little jaded to me. I'm not a fan of the corporate-driven nature of the change, but I do think "could we do something more useful with the menu key?" is a fair question and the answer is almost certainly yes.

AI has limitations and yada yada but use cases for the Menu key seem slim, and I'd get more mileage out of an "answer a stupid question where I'm okay with a probability of it being right" button.

How long would it take to swim from Florida to France? Why is the hole on cans of soda indented? Why do some fundraisers collect tabs from cans instead of the whole can?

I'm sure you can configure a keyboard to do that now (and likewise, you can likely restore Menu's former function), but for the average user who doesn't even know that's an option Menu is a waste of space.

AI might not even be the best option to replace Menu, but I do think it's worth talking about replacing it.
