> Netflix is at the point where adding customers and wowing people with the latest shiny is secondary to controlling costs and being profitable

Netflix won the streaming war [1]. Their competitors need to control costs to become profitable. They don't [2].

> It didn't say that there is no genocide, and it didn't say that there is a genocide.

It may change, but CURRENTLY, it does not think there's sufficient evidence to rule in favour of provisional measures, i.e., it does not think there is a genocide.

Resorting to legalese isn't changing this fact.
> Personal gossip has absolutely no reason to be published as part of a lawsuit, in my view. If it's relevant to the case, make it available to its parties, read it out during the (usually public but non-broadcast) trial etc., but don't put it on an online case filing platform. Get rid of that, and the incentive to delete literally anything that's not legally required to be archived goes away too.

The sentence "This seems like a really shitty way to treat our customers," is going to both look bad and be relevant to lots of lawsuits. On the other hand, if a company doesn't have a communications channel in which people can freely say this, they're going to end up treating their customers in shitty ways a lot more.
I was really hoping for the Astro Slide. Then the fxtex. Both turned out to essentially be a scam. All other "pure Linux" phones out there have hardware that is so laughably bad that I almost take it as a personal insult.
This is a strange take given that the headset supports iPad apps (like the Netflix iPad app) by default, no “bothering with it” necessary.

> What's the ICJ's actual ability to enforce this?

Zero, the same as most courts.

Enforcement is a matter for (ordinarily) the Security Council, or, in the case of deadlock, potentially the GA acting under Uniting for Peace. Well, decisions on enforcement; actual enforcement is left to individual UN members, acting on direction of those UN bodies.

Note that enforcement in practice is often a problem, as with the provisional measures adopted against Russia in the Ukraine v. Russia genocide case.
Or maybe users will just get "subtle" product placement in their AI assisted output.
God it's gotten worse. Last time I looked they had flights to PHL and DTW.

As it is now there is fierce competition for bus service from Ithaca to NYC (budget to various grades of premium) and I find it almost unimaginable that I'd fly to NYC to get to NYC because flying to JFK or atrocious EWR (never once made a transfer at EWR that didn't involve re-entering the secure zone) wouldn't save time to get to Midtown.

If you try to take the bus in the other direction you find you can't get from here to there. A friend of mine who used to ride the bus through Canada to get to the Detroit suburbs now takes the bus up to Syracuse, then takes Amtrak and gets out at 4am. On the way back one time there was no room on the bus although he paid for a ticket ahead of time.

The real significance of the regional airport is that it connects to a hub that goes everywhere. As it is if I have to fly somewhere I'll probably have to go up to SYR where at least I can fly on Jetblue and know I'm flying on an Airbus.

ITH used to get

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Canada_Dash_8

which I really enjoyed flying in, but they got replaced with 50-seat regional jets because regional jets are less likely to break down at a small airport requiring a crew to travel two hours to repair them.

As it is, academics at Cornell and Ithaca College will struggle to bring in speakers and it's just one more bit of "stave the countryside" that will drive knowledge workers to go to blue cities where their votes don't count -- it's how you hand the next election to a Demagogue.
I'd say you are looking for problems rather than value, a form of critical reading appropriate to contracts, public affairs, etc. The Bible and similar texts are generally not contracts you need to accept or reject as a whole. They are not literal. If you look at them as literal and 'contracts', there are far more flaws than the ones you point out (including the sexist story I posted originally). They take a different form of critical reading:

They are sources of inspiration. Don't look for the flaws, look for the benefits. Imagine you go to an art museum or you play a computer game. Do you look for the worst paintings? Scour the museum for mistakes in the paintings? Do you read the game's code for bugs and poor coding practices? When you go to a bookstore, do you look for the worst book? What a waste of time that would be - you want the best, the most enjoyable and inspiring, not the worst.

> That Christians worship an unreasonable, malicious or mad, god with unreasonable standards. "Even when you were a gullible idiot and faced an influence I'd not accounted for despite being all knowing, I'm still going to punish you and all your offspring forever for what you did wrong, especially the woman and that's why childbirth hurts."

FWIW, that passage is part of all Abrahamic religions.
"X in Rust" to me mean that I won't have to fiddle with it when installing it and it'll work out of the box. This isn't unique to Rust, Go does this very well too. It'll also be reasonably fast, not just because of the language, but because the community likes performance. For example, a few years ago I tried the tldr command. It was in Node.js and unbearably slow. There was a Rust implementation, tealdeer, that was way faster.

> not a single country will accept a soverein Palestenian state, because they're ruled by terrorists.

You yourself say that Palestinians can live completely peacefully, why can't they have a sovereign state with a better government? I hope that after years of Israeli government / Netanyahu supporting Hamas [1], they will change the strategy.

> 20% of the Knessest is Muslim/Arab. Have you been to Israel? Muslims, Jews, Christians all coexist peacefully you have no idea what apartheid means.

The apartheid regime is instituted in Gaza and West Bank, not in Israel proper.
You are intentionally missing the point, despite all the obvious evidence against your argument. You can deny or rationalise it like most people do, but using mobile phones while driving is bad and the lawmakers have every right to male it illegal. Companies like apple are not getting dragged into that. Neither is google btw if you look at their version.

> it just works, but...
A means for tuning friction on a flat surface without the use of math
It shouldn't be terribly surprising that humans incorporate signals beyond pure denotational content of message? Text is a pretty low-bandwidth channel, so we infer as much meaning as possible from the bits of information we receive. All the stylistic choices encode additional information about the sender; part of one's job as an effective communicator is evaluating the effect of all those choices and adapting the entire message (not just its content) to convey the intended impression (not just the meaning).

Incidentally, this is why AI-writing isn't necessarily better communication. The robot can help translate intentions into prose, but it can't decide what one should actually intend to say.
... and if AVP is a big hit they can do something about it then.
Seconding the Conquistador recommendation.

If they made it into a film, it would be about as believable as a John Wick movie.
I do use my phone for other things but I could use a "mobile Linux device" just the same and without the snooping from cell towers, which is my primary concern (for trivial, self-inflicted reasons to be fair). In practical terms, my phone stays in my pocket until I'm home anyway. To disincentivize me from using it outside my home, I turn off mobile data, which has made it obvious to me that I never use it in public and only carry it around for fear of some emergent situation which would otherwise be trivialized by the ability to communicate over a long distance.

Also, something weird happened when I regained the ability to avoid looking at a device in my hands: I started to see that everyone is addicted to their phone. Used to be that any time I had to wait for any length of time, my first instinct was to pull out my phone. Now I just look around and see everyone else do that. The decision to leave my phone at home (with exceptions) is an extension of that change in my habits.
Absolutely a culture issue rather than a technical one!
Yep, and Steam is 30% of revenue.

Why aren't we screaming about how unfair that is?
Software has its absolutes - and those are often good things. Security, ability for backup, redundancy, scalability. We value these things.

Whether those attributes are applied toward authoritarianism or freedom is largely up to the developer and the backers and users.

And over time we may have started with systems that are centralized because our abilities were young at the time, but distributed systems are very popular and often the goal. One example is version control systems: all the systems prior to Git/Mercurial and those after.

With social networks, the network effects are dominant, but I am hopeful that distributed systems will eventually dominate.
Batteries are great, but some of those charts look off.

Where are they getting batteries that are 500Wh/kg for commercial applications? Even state of the art NMC cells in the 21700 and 46800 form factors barely scrape at 300Wh/kg, and everything else (LFP) is significantly below that number.
So what if that's true (and it's not entirely true - there was forced takeovers of land, and there continues to be land theft in the West Bank today).

If I sell you my land, does that make it right for you to form a separate state with it? Perhaps I would rethink that decision with the advance knowledge of your intentions.
Lots of software licensed as MIT is distributed under a proprietary sublicense, which is as restrictive as it gets. That isn't the case with GPL licenses.

It is a matter of fact that it's a matter of perspective.
> SA does not really present itself as an earnest or true actor in the sphere oh human rights.

Adversarial justice systems are an approach to dealing with the fact that individual actors in a system (including states in the international system) tend to be self-interested rather than earnest or true consistent advocates of the notional rules of the system.
iPads run iPhone apps by default, but it's terrible. How does Vision Pro running iPad apps compare?
Yes but a solar panel literally feet from the EV it is charging avoids massive transmission infrastructure.
> given how they still don't support the Apple TV app

The people buying Apple Vision Pro are developers and the rich. Neither is particularly relevant to Netflix–they don't have a platform nor premium product. They're also not ad driven, so a competitor slicing their highest-earning customers away isn't an existential problem.
And? You can say the same about pretty much anyone that sells anything. Why does a restaurant charge $15 for a cocktail that costs them 50 cents to make?
F-Droid should be a case study for Apple on how alternative stores do not bring malware but actually improve the user experience.
Because not checking a box costs a ton of money...

This is 100% a spite move. They could have let their iPad app run on the Vision Pro but instead disabled it.
> The Norman Conquest brought French kings

I stopped at the first sentence. It's historically illiterate to say the Normans were 'French', in particular William I. If that were the case, then Edward the Confessor was just as 'French' as the Normans who replaced the house of Wessex.

The etymology of the word Norman tells you all you need to know.
I would argue there has been massive condemnation of Russia by much of the west. The west is lobbing missiles at Russia. It's giving missiles to Israel to lob at Gaza.
>Turns out in order to unlock the bootloader you have to fill an online form and get a code that unlocks it via email.

This is to combat groups of people who flash malicious OS builds to phones and resell them to innocent people who have no clue the phone they got is compromised.

With the caveat that the "standard library" they depend on is multiple GBs and provides more features than entire Gnome.

Also MS always worked in some tech to avoid library duplication such as WinSxS or now MSIX has autodedupe even at the time of download.

> what does the perfect programming education platform look like to you?

A series of loosely guided, non-interactive tutorials that require researching/figuring out on your own with some pointed hints when one gets stuck. Many of the online platforms are too hand-held and gloss over a lot of pretty important details about the how/why of writing, building, running a program. It'd be nice to see something that introduces a lot of correct vocabulary for unknown unknowns that equips someone with the tools needed to find answers on their own by knowing the right words to punch into a search engine.

Even just referring to the opening pages from K&R it says: "you have to be able to create the program text somewhere, compile it successfully, load it, run it, and find out where your output went. With these mechanical details mastered, everything else is comparatively easy." Jumping right into "hello world" that runs in a fully abstracted web IDE glosses over so much of the basics that a complete programming novice wouldn't understand.

My experience with being self-taught was that struggling with really basic things like installing the language/runtime/whatever and actually getting a hello world working to then write more involved apps was just as valuable as actually building a project because it required learning how to find answers and discover the correct vocabulary to articulate the language, system, tools I was using
My first thought was something along the lines of "great to see these young kids doing this kind of work." Doing that math hurt my soul.
Not only that, it proves the opposite of the claim.

Suppose there were multiple app marketplaces for iOS. Then some of them could be extremely selective by finding a niche, and thereby be more trustworthy than any unified store that has to carry a million general purpose apps with only cursory evaluation from various publishers of little or unknown reputation.
China has no ability to project much outside of its own territory. They might be able to invade taiwan, sure, but anything farther off is still out of reach for them (even if they wanted to, which I highly doubt). They really couldn't stage much from their one support base in Djibouti.
> It may change, but CURRENTLY, it does not think there's sufficient evidence to rule in favour of provisional measures

False, it ruled that provisional measures against Israel were warranted and adopted four provisional measures against Israel by 15-2 vote, and two by 16-1 vote (the latter including the Israeli judge ad hoc in the majority.)
Am I to understand then that a member of the UN could decide that intervene? Or would they need to be “allowed” to intervene on behalf of the ICJ?
I'm not arguing there shouldn't be two states. I see the best path forward as likely Israel existing as a Jewish state and Palestine existing as a Muslim state. I don't think either side has a majority population willing to exist in a state with absolute freedom of religion and no religious policies. Far fewer people live as oppressed minorities if there are two states than if there is one.
Your best example is people can't easily install this spyware that misled them about spying, until forced to come clean?

"Based on these Google representations, throughout the Class Period, Plaintiffs and Class members reasonably expected that Google would not collect their data while in Incognito mode. They reasonably understood 'You've gone incognito' and ‘Now you can browse privately’ to mean they could browse privately, without Google's continued tracking and data collection.

Google could have disclosed on this Incognito Screen that Google would track users and collect their data while they were browsing privately, but Google did not do that. Instead, Google included representations meant to assure users that they had ‘gone incognito’ and could ‘browse privately’ with only limited exceptions, none of which disclosed Google's own tracking and data collection practices while users were in a private browsing mode."

John Gruber says they work great. I guess we will see.
Anyway, Apple is conflating the concept of AppStore with ContentFilter. There's no reason why you can't have either one of them, or both from different vendors. Let them provide the bare hardware, and there will be a flourishing market of OS providers, some of which perhaps even more secure than Apple's software offerings.

both of which stopped manufacturing circa 2020. We used to get the DASH-8 which I liked to fly more but they stopped using it because it breaks down more often which is no problem if it happens at PHL but takes hours to get a crew to fix if it breaks down at ITH.
Why would they?

Companies will gladly pocket the difference between what they charge the customers and their $100/KWh bulk price.
Are we assuming they developed those for free?
It's not just a matter of reliability: mainframes allow tighter coupling between different parts of your application, thus faster performance, since everything is (or can be) essentially on the same hardware that is optimized for data processing. Cloud services are getting closer to bridging the gap, but for some applications mainframes will still be the only way to go. One main advantage that cloud has is you can distribute things into services that can be hosted anywhere: the same cloud service, a different cloud service, etc. Yes, you can do that with mainframes, too, but in the past mainframe software wasn't written with that flexibility. Today, everything is all about distributed microservices.

As to the article's premise that people are getting locked into cloud services as they used to get locked into mainframe services, you could make the same argument about any tech: write your app with language X, and you'll have a hard time translating it to language Y. Write a low-level app that runs on Intel chips and you'll have a hard time porting it to Motorola. That's the nature of software development.
I mean... the very first few sentences of the Multics paper intro say it:

1. Irrelevant. You’re not receiving unlimited distribution rights with that particular purchase.

2. The directive gives end users the right to reverse engineer, modify, and make PRIVATE copies of intellectual property for the purposes of interoperability. It doesn’t create a new avenue for the redistribution of intellectual property.
I feel like this is an over-simplification that's not going to be well understood by people not familiar with Israel's judicial history and systems.

He has some influence but I don't think "loyalists" (or the other terminology used in your earlier comment) is that accurate. The supreme court justices today have a range of opinions and are largely independent and interpret law (and some other universal principles, like human rights, is really what Barak brought to the table).

The interesting bit to me here is this signals that if those cases were brought in front of Israel's supreme court the outcome would likely be similar to the ICJ (except Israel's supreme court's rulings must be followed, it's not optional or requires security council approval). I think that was partly the intent in sending Barak and really the main argument that people that oppose the government initiatives to restrict the Israeli Supreme Court have. And so there's really no need to take Israel to the ICJ since its independent supreme court would e.g. enforce the same standards anyways.
They also have a quest app but it is awful and clearly abandoned.
