It sounds like what you're saying is that Apple should not list any company that does not create a direct contract with them and guarantee provision of accurate information?

To me that would imply small businesses that can't afford the time to go through such a process would be hard pressed to stay listed.
Sadly this is often not enough for me to reconnect.
Isn't ML moving towards low-precision floating point anyways?
Hah, saw that you edited the url. These government naming schemes are designed to fail. Why do they pick these absolute terms like "free" when there will clearly be some new thing that will be better? I'm waiting for the next version of REAL id, a realer id.
Reportedly that’s the answer they got in focus groups when they tried to figure out why it failed.

4 > 3.
> People are so bad at statistics.

Yes! Your comment confirms that!

> You know who else self-certifies their safety? Car companies.

False. They do not.

> 30,000+ people die every year in car crashes in the US but that’s totally fine

That's not how the probabilities work out. Most of those people are drunk/high, speeding, drowsy, or very old. Then, the car that you drive, how defensive you are, and how much you drive comes into play. My personal chances are astronomically low compared to someone who drives.

> You’re wildly more statistically likely to be shot by a police officer in the US than to be shot by an actual criminal in the UK because that’s how dumb enshrining the rights of killing appliances into a constitution is.

This has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment. It has to do with the militarization of the police, the war on drugs, the long history of violence and racism by police, which are totally different issues.

> I’m all for the customer’s power to boycott, but the actual solution that will save lives is for the government and the FAA to tighten regulations and be more thorough.

So your solution is to do the thing that has failed over and over and over again? The thing that Congress refuses to do? (fund the FAA). I have no words.
The business is actively harmed if you list them as closed. I don't see how this is the fault of the business.
> If AT&T and AWS went IPv6 by default, most of the US would convert over quickly.

Comcast and the mobile carriers went ipv6 years ago, that's already something like over half the US endpoints? It hasn't sped adoption (Github STILL isn't ipv6 for git).

Another example, I've been trying to get Georgia Tech to fix their ipv6 linux mirrors for over half a year, they advertise they support ipv6 and publish AAAA records that don't work. http://rsync.gtlib.gatech.edu/ < check it out.

So yeah, even when it's deployed nobody checks to see if it's still working when ipv4 is fine.
That is indeed a fair point.
You seem to misunderstand. My objections to the change are minimal. It is the incompleteness of the change that is remarkable.
Cloudflares main day job is blocking malicious incoming packets used for RCE exploits on unpatched servers.

Remember Apple is a fashion company and not a tech company. Their marketing plan and expectations are entirely different than other companies. Their pictures demo isn't coders simulating four monitors, it's coaches on the sidelines getting instant replays and notes from the box. It's movie stars popping it on after a scene to review the various takes. Doctors in the OR getting an endo-feed. The idea is to make something that's trendy and useful, charge a premium then push it to mass market from the top down and let all the non-brand conscience people buy the alternatives that emerge. Many of which will be cheaper and better just like with any other apple tech.
Yeah this ad has been running a lot.

I was pretty sure when first seeing it that they'd already gotten in trouble for their last ads that used the word "free" a lot, and this was a very direct response to that... I guess that's just the final decision that's being reported on here.
>having a private ip = definately not publicly reachable.

What component of your router prevents a packet with destination IP 192.168.1.2 arriving on the WAN interface from crossing over to the LAN interface and reaching a LAN machine with that IP? Hint: It's the same one that prevents IPv6 packets from making that same crossing.

To give some more context, Fleming's job was an antibacterial researcher, and also molds were also previously known to have these properties. In some ways, the lucky part was others finding his work and developing it. I found this video on the development of Penicillin a pretty interesting watch:

When I read beej’s guide to network programming I was confused when he said you have to call close() even after you call shutdown().

Some plastics melt at a certain temperature (thermoplastics like PETG/PLA) and others don't (thermosets like resin/epoxy). Its possible you just attempted to melt the type that just burns when you heat it.
Famous sales pep talk: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wVQPY4LlbJ4
I always feel a little stupid or strange reading a lot of these science headlines and introductions. I wasn't aware that people considered there to be a symmetry between heating and cooling. I thought that the entire point of thermodynamics is that they are asymmetric. Even the article mentions that it's been known that heating is more efficient than cooling.
One of the reasons I feel that way is that Apple Maps is free.

Yes, you do need an Apple device to use Maps, but it's at least a viable alternative to Google that casual users pick (versus, say, OpenStreetMaps).

How much is the cost to continually verify every business on Maps? I would expect it to be a very large amount. If it were very expensive, would Apple have created Maps, or keep Maps operating? I don't know.

I guess what I'm getting at is that Apple doesn't get much direct gain (as far as I know -- maybe they get some money from Yelp?) from Maps, and I'm rooting for Apple because at least they're not Google.
Do you know when people talk about aliens coming to visit? We only discuss whether they exist or not but nobody seems to have a problem with the fact that beings that can traverse solar systems also crash.

I once noticed a potential problem (I have zero expertise in the subject) on a commercial flight; I walked to the galley and privately, calmly told a flight attendant, emphasizing my level of expertise and that I'd leave it to them. The flight attendant later stopped by and said it was nothing.

On my next flight, maybe a week later, the pilot announced that passengers may see this thing and that it's fine.
In general the days of the App Store gold rush are long gone. The only ones making any real money from the ecosystem now are large corporations selling subscriptions/ads for their existing services and crapware games pushing microtransactions and/or fueling gambling addictions. I don't see how any independent developer could even be convinced to build for the Vision Pro. What return would they get for their time and effort? It's instead YouTube, Facebook, Netflix, Spotify, Fortnite etc. that will decide its fate.

>And have questions like: 'Why don't we have a device like a microwave oven for fast cooling?'"

Isn't that... just a blast chiller? (AKA a convection oven in reverse)

It's not commonly found in households, but that's different from saying "we don't have a device" that does this.

EDIT: Yes folks, I do understand how the principles of operation differ. Point being that the humble countertop convection oven definitely qualifies as "a device like a microwave oven for fast heating," and a blast chiller is just the reverse of that.
How does the sound change if you use a candle or some other analog light source? (or even a DC battery with a non-LED light?)

Hi pests, I don't think the criticism in the comments gives a full picture.

I wrote about a particular flavor of datalog, in common use today. [1] [2]. The earliest representation I know which matches the syntax of my essay, was in SICP [3]

There's another, more academic form of datalog which looks a lot like prolog. There's lots of similarities and [2] mentions them.

> Nobody wants deflation.

I hear this argument regularly, but I’ve never understood why. Hyperinflation is historically a bad thing, but whenever I ask about deflation, I just get hand-waving about the Great Depression. Is there any reading that lays out the dangers of deflation?
Worth noting this is an expired draft. Anyone can publish drafts with no vetting. This particular author is also a frequent flyer of nonsensical IETF drafts that make no sense to anyone with a shred of understanding of how the Internet works. Genuinely not worth spending the time to understand, any more than you'd try to read a treatise about how the sky isn't real.
... yes? just like you need a google account to use google's business services

So you weren't unable to do it, you made a choice to rely on automated systems getting the right information through scraping or whatever they do. That's your choice, but you don't get to then act like it was not possible to do the task.

That's like saying "I tried to rent a car from hertz but that's no actually possible. They asked for a 'license'".
Do any of these books reference studies that provide causation for the observations? If not, it’s hard to judge how reliable these are. Maybe more than “I saw my boy frank go vegan and lose weight” but even then…I intimately know frank and can be reasonably sure the diet helped him lose weight. Can’t say the same for all these observational studies.

This has always been a major concern for me with a lot of studies. People seem ok with it and I’ve never understood why. It’s like trying to understand a bug by looking at the broader logs / data instead of reading the code (which is absolutely a useful tool, though the more complicated the code - like with the human body - the less useful it is. And I certainly wouldn’t be advising any fixes based off of it). And far too often reading the code tells a wildly different story.
Along with plastic welding and epoxies (good things to say about JB Weld) also using baking soda infused with cyanoacrylate glue (the very thin kind) can build up material and becomes approximately rock hard. Can be filed. Just be careful around transparent pieces as the fumes can haze them up.

There's also a commercial product called Q Bond that I believe includes a plastic powder as the "host" material but is used in the same way.
did the unpaid intern do that before or after the insecure database server accidentally got given a public ip address?

did they also check and update that old office use only IIS server no one uses before the department all got public ips, or wasn't there a lunch budget for that.
I mean there has been a new entrant in the past few years, the fairphone, which arrived with a vision and an ethics, and is slowly getting market share, and better products, that are repairable, or new entrant like frame.work, which arrived with a vision, ethics too, and is slowly improving and getting market share. I am not sure why as a society we need to accomodate small vendors who arrive without a plan or anything selling shit shipped from China that is going to last 30 days and just become e-waste, like PinePhone or Librem comes to mind, I am not sure why society needs to accomodate any cowboy who wants to become a manufacturer to sell low effort china phones
> Offering commercial support doesn't really help unless developers also take a hard stance at that point and immediately close all filed issues that aren't bugs.

I am not sure whether such a hard stance is necessary. Why not rather strongly deprioritize filed issues that are not bugs (i.e. it will be left open, but only worked on if ressources are available, which might be months to years)?
Geez, what about all the other studies telling me to fear for my life? I don't know what to believe!
Counterpoint: they charged nothing to plenty of researchers who were willing to mention their hw provider when they published.
I didn't know this. Thanks for bringing that up. I wonder how much that kind of manual verification costs, and how, for example, they collect all of those phone numbers.
> Yes, car makers self-certify. You are not correct about that. Government crash tests aren’t a prerequisite to being allowed to sell a vehicle.

I love when people don't read the very source they cite.

> Some untested models are new or redesigned and merely waiting in line to be evaluated. About 97 percent of all new vehicles sold are crash-test rated by one or both of the independent organizations.

This is for niche models and make upgrades that will be tested soon. It's perfectly correct to say that cars are tested when 97% of them are.
Better to be unlisted than have a third party use your trademark to authoritatively claim you've permanently closed.

Yup, and if kids can take a bus, then so can adults. I realize this isn't the case for everyone, but in the case of the tech professionals that likely make up the bulk of the HN audience, living in a place that's a 30+ minute drive to work was a choice that person made.

The second someone graduates college (usually around 22ish), they no longer need any social interaction? That strikes me as a fairly bold claim.

> With Google Maps, there's level system, where people with higher level can fix these issues easier...

I'm level 6/10 in that system (several hundred contributions, a few million views) and it's totally hit or miss for me. Some edits go through instantly, others take a few minutes, some take a few weeks or months. Some are peer reviewed, others aren't. It's not a very transparent system and there's no way to track them once you submit it, you just eventually get an email (or not) if it goes through or is rejected.
it might not even need to be noted and scheduled.

It may be the case that some failures are expected and tolerated between periodic inspections, and the period is designed to catch anything before it gets too far.
> On the other hand, cooling at the microscopic level involves the release of energy from individual particles, resulting in a dampening of their motion. This process corresponds to the system losing energy, leading to a decrease in the intensity of particle movement.

It actually makes sense, doesn’t it? Heating the object adds energy constructively. In cooling, energy removed from one particle may in fact be absorbed again by neighboring particles, so it is not ‘efficient’. So I’d venture a guess at saying the object cools from outside until it is entirely cooled.
Correct, hence why more people going to college (instead of just the top 50% or whatever) brings the college-goers' IQ closer to average.
Businesses can lobby for their own self-interest without taking such a staunch anti-consumer stance. Technically, you're not wrong. But Intuit happens to own MailChimp, QuickBooks and Credit Karma beyond TurboTax.

There's no reason they shouldn't be able to find a way to remain a profitable business between most of what they own. To go above and beyond with such an anti-consumer perspective with regards to filing is absolutely egregious.

Put simply (or reductively, take your pick) - there's "advocating for the interest of their business" (nods head) and "advocating for the interest of their business" (shakes head).

Their phrasing is specific to align themselves with the current supreme Court review of deference.

They'll likely delay until that decision has come down and they hope they can just claim the laws were unconstitutional in the first place.

Normally, a browser window has a rectangular area of the display that is "visible" and used for the Web page, with browser controls and scrollbars and window decorations around it.

To a company that wants to identify who the person is (such as to build a profile of the person and sell that information) one way is to "fingerprint" the browser and how it's used. The dimensions of that visible display rectangle help with this, since individuals will often tend to end up with a window size that's more particular to them than of all possible users.

One browser anti-fingerprinting privacy feature targets that telltale rectangle size, with "letterboxing" (different from movie letterboxing). Which means that range of different visible rectangle dimensions of what could be many users get reduced to the same smaller rectangle dimensions. Which (like movie letterboxing) results in large unused margins for all users.

So, say that you have a 1920x1080 native window size, including all the decorations and controls. That's a pretty common size, and doesn't fingerprint you very well at all. But your particular preferences for things like window decorations and font sizes and such narrow that down quite a bit. And if you don't have a common display size, nor a maximized window, but you tend to have the window the same size, that can fingerprint you even more.

With letterboxing, your 1920x1080 native window might give you, say, a 1600x800 display rectangle for the browser page. And a bunch of other people's native windows, of various sizes in the vicinity, and of various desktop settings, will also get the same 1600x800 display rectangle.

With letterboxing, everyone is wasting precious screen space, but they're supposedly harder for adversaries to identify.

I'm not thrilled with the tradeoff here. Though it's easier to stomach when so many Web sites make poor use of the display anyway, I've been desensitized.

(Sorry, I'd make this explanation shorter, if I had more time.)

> I am not saying that valuing family is not normal, I am saying that because a person does not do so, given certain circumstances, does not make them abnormal

I'm abnormal, in various ways. Some of those are (at least partially) my fault, some of them are entirely the fault of people other than me, some of them are nobody's fault. Everyone is abnormal, in at least a few ways. All families are abnormal–in some respects. Whether anybody should be ashamed to be abnormal depends entirely on the details of the specific abnormalities we are talking about.

People don't have relationships with their families for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes, their family deserves all the blame, and they are an innocent victim. Sometimes, they deserve all the blame, and their family is an innocent victim. Sometimes, everyone is to blame. Maybe, sometimes, nobody is to blame. All those situations are abnormal (in the sense that normatively they should not occur), and a person or family in an abnormal situation is (in a certain sense) themselves abnormal. But, as I said, whether anyone ought to be ashamed of that abnormality depends on all those details, of how exactly they ended up in that situation.
