>Zooming the screen from the accessibility settings probably gets you half way there already

It gets you there all the way. If some cop wants to screw you over, that's more than he needs. Taking your eyes of the road to look at some small smartphone is not just illegal, it's dangerous. People die because of it every day. Most cops just don't give a fuck because almost everyone does it. Doesn't make it legal though. That's also why all navigation apps tell you not to use them while driving. But while these apps have other legit uses, CarPlay literally only exists to be used while driving. So it makes no sense to offer it without integration into a car's systems that allow you (in theory) to use it without looking down. If someone screws this up it's the car maker's fault.
duration is how long the storage will last which is related to the energy storage which you could call capacity but they already used that word so I guess duration makes sense... I'm not a grid operator though
That's surprising, even more surprising, for me at least, 48.1% of the portfolio is in 1 stock!

(It's Apple)

"Apple has repurchased in the neighborhood of $600 billion worth of its common stock since the start of 2013. These buybacks are increasing Berkshire's stake in Apple without Buffett or his team having to lift a finger."
Indeed, it is. And yes, Lisp is only marginally relevant to the point beeing made. It's just that the question "if X is the best why hasn't it won" and similar variants of it spring up so often around Lisp and are not quite resolved or even close to being resolved.

The essay is thus attacking the question form a different angle. Thanks for the kind words.
Betteridge Law was never so obvious.
> Nice, just like in the good old days with serfs and feudal lords.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Serfs were largely agricultural workers bound under the feudal system to work on their lord's estate. Foreign workers aren't serfs. They're not bound to a particular estate, nor do they typically execute agricultural work. They have the right to collectively bargain their salary, working conditions, and benefits. They are free to resign their position and leave the country.

The O-1 visa is a temporary worker visa. The expectation is that folks on a temporary work visa work temporarily. That is, there is no intent to immigrate.

You are also not bound to a particular employer. You're only bound to that employer on that visa instance. You can, if you like, apply for another O-1 visa sponsored by a different employer.

There are, in some cases, restrictions on work even for folks that have the right to work and live in the US. For example, if company A contracts out work to company B, it is often not permitted for company A to offer workers at company B full-time positions at company A because of the existence of the contract. If someone freelances for company A they often can't also hold full-time positions at a competitor to company A. Is this feudalism? Of course not.

TL;DR: Freedom to work does not imply or mean, "I can do whatever work I want for whoever I want." There are rules, regulations and laws present for a reason. We can debate whether or not those reasons exist in good faith, but equating "I can only work for one specific employer on a temporary work visa" to serfdom is awfully disingenuous, in my opinion.
I sincerely hope they lost their license over that one.
The Guanche, native inhabitants of the Canary Islands, deployed both slings and cast stones (incl. boulders) against the Spanish very efficiently.

It is a rather unknown fact, but the worst colonial defeat of the Spanish ever didn't happen in the Americas, but on the island of Tenerife, where a Guanche chief called Bencomo trapped the Spanish at Acentejo and killed several thousands of them.

It is doubly remarkable, because the Guanche at that time were really living in their Stone Age. Their civilization was nowhere near as developed as the Aztec Empire.
You can still call dlopen from your static binary, if you really want to.
Thanks for this perspective. It's mind-boggling that a company with such resources, talent and presence in the whole world is unable to innovate in such a simple thing and it seems they're going similar route Microsoft did with its smartphone, which they eventually killed.

Let's look at it from a different perspective. Google is unable to properly launch a phone worldwide and the decisions are incomprehensible to a thinking human. They support Pixel 8 in Ireland (5 million population), Norway (5.4 million), Denmark (5.9) but they don't in Poland (38 million, part of European Union for 20 years) where they bought one of the largest offices for over $600 million USD to support 2,500 employees. Poles consider Pixel's price a fair price, not an expensive one. Not to mention lack of Pixel presence in at least some Asian countries with at least several hundred millions of potential customers.

As for the technicalities, they even did not enter all radio frequencies and countries in their version of Android, so that 5G or some Wi-Fi bands don't work in some countries. When you roam from supported country to an unsupported one, you may loose part or all connectivity. They did the same in Chromecast. Multiple layoffs confirm it's all about money at Google, so why they don't reach for an easy money from smartphone market? Lack of vision, lack of knowledge, name it however you want.
I hope this is real -- how long is the cycle?

Seeing them performing the polymer album at a small venue (where some instrumental parts where performed live) right after Nils Frahm is a fond memory of mine, and I agree that there is not really much out there that compares to their unique sound.

Ultimately though, we need to remember that mice, keyboards, touchscreens, et al. are all merely compromises that were developed to let humans who speak human communicate with computers who speak computer. If we figure out an overall better way than the means before, it's natural they will be superceded.

I do agree with the author that the mouse lends itself very well to precision control, though. Touchscreen is easy and readily available, but it leaves much to be desired for precise control.
Perhaps the sentiment is just that, built out over decades of anti-government media, and doesn't accurately reflect reality.

I think recruiting is potentially one of the best roles for a smart person (depending on level of extrovert) who can suss out bullshit and domain expertise rapidly; your comp is maximized by your ability to sorting hat folks into roles, tied to per candidate placement fees. Far more enjoyable than grinding out code 8-12 hours/day 5 days/week imho.

Insightful comment btw, more true than people admit.
Yes?

The transaction you know how to track is the unlawful one. Some ransomware requires you to pay them, so you do, and they take possession of whatever untraceable commodity and then give you the decryption keys (or don't). Or they buy a commodity on a stolen credit card and have possession of it before the fraud is reported. Then the victim goes to the police or files a dispute with the credit card company. The KYC/AML data is just going to give you the name of the account holder, i.e. the victim. The criminal didn't receive government currency, they received something they can anonymously resell for government currency, which could be anything with a market value.
Its just a matter of time before some LLM will transcribe them and log your calls though. It might allready be happening.
> > The court ruled that Israel must do all it can to prevent genocide, including refraining from killing Palestinians or causing harm to them

> Sounds like a ceasefire to me. How else would they do this? Definitely not with any of the military tactics Israel is currently using.

Reading the actual icj ruling it seems like it only forbid it when done with genocidial intent. The court did not forbid collateral damage.

The specific wording included the line "...take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II..."

Earlier in paragraph 78 they said "The Court recalls that these acts fall within the scope of Article II of the Convention when they are committed with the intent to destroy in whole or in part a group as such (see paragraph 44 above)."

So basically it is only forbidden if the intent is specificly to kill Palestinians and not if it is collateral damage to some other military objective.

I don't think this order will affect anything israel is doing.
Apple is restoring Mac users that were banned after using Beeper on iPhone
If there's a tool that an officer can use that retrieves this information, I'd have a problem with that. If the phone is demanded as evidence with proper warrant/subpoena, then sure. However, in the cases of a car wreck, I think confiscating the phone as evidence does seem warranted. And admitting that has me in a weird state. With such little consequences for blatantly being distracted, it will not stop. But looking at history, draconian punishment is not a deterrent in other aspects. Addicts are going to do whatever for their fix. Admitting phone addiction exists is probably something too though.
There is also a notebook to test your own configurations!
Agreed. My favorite part is that you don’t need any special consideration for local/WAN splits in DNS. Your DNS address for your homelab server is the same address on your LAN as it is on the WAN, so your DNS can just be the same. Thus “ssh hostname.fqdn” works whether you’re on the local network or remote, and your packets just automatically stay on your LAN when you’re local (they don’t even have to hit your router… they can directly unicast if you’re on the same switch. No “hairpin NAT” or anything like that needed.)
1. Apple: $175,384,746,776 (48.1% of invested assets)

Not much I can say. Sounds like Warren did his homework, made a big investment, it took off and never stopped taking off. Not sure if he is to thank. Like does Tim Cook call Warren and ask for advice? Do they interact a lot with board decisions? Does Apple take outside input? Is Warren 100% hands off silent investor?

2. Bank of America: $33,278,491,633 (9.1% of invested assets)

Interesting why Bank of America and not JP Morgan.

3. American Express: $27,770,51,919 (7.6% of invested assets)

What would America look like if credit card processing fees were closer to 0.1% instead of 1-2%?

4. Coca-Cola: $23,932,000,000 (6.6% of invested assets)

I know they have a lot of brands but I'm surprised they have a $23b bet on basically a company whose brand name is associated with unhealthy drinks that are bad for you.

5. Chevron: $15,681,716,627 (4.3% of invested assets)

I know energy companies truly do mean "energy" and not "oil/fossil fuels". I wonder how this investment will do next 50-100 years. Energy companies obviously have resources and infrastructure to pivot from fossil fuels into whatever the next best thing is. I doubt they'll get left behind?

6. Occidental Petroleum: $13,750,445,662 (3.8% of invested assets)

Is this one company where Buffett + team did something the average investor can't: negotiate with company under duress using his globs of resources (money) then gain from it?

7. Kraft Heinz: $12,074,539,051 (3.3% of invested assets)

Top brands:

Oscar Mayer

Ore-Ida

Mac & Cheese

Velveeta

Jello

Kool-Aid

Lunchables

Maxwell House

Caprisun

I'm surprised they have this much in 'assets' tied to 'not sexy + boring' things like "not the best foods/drinks for you"
> In the days of fast networks, embedded OSs, emphemeral containers, and big hard drives, a portable static binary is way less complex and only somewhat less secure

If what you're trying to do is run a single program on a server somewhere, then yes absolutely a static binary is the way to go. There are lots of cases, especially end user desktops, where this doesn't really apply though.

In my opinion the debate over static vs dynamic linking is resolved by understanding that they are different tools for different jobs.

I ride a motorcycle ~daily. I'm acutely aware of drivers on their phones. Probably one in six drivers that I see are holding their phone, looking at their phone, or otherwise distracted by their phone. Besides being aware of what folks are doing around me, I routinely use my shoulder checks to peek at whether the drivers adjacent to me are distracted so I can be more prepared if they do something stupid.

The fix for this is easy: pull people over. When I was a teenager, cops met their quotas by watching for people with a phone (back then folks were talking, not typing). This is a big part of what drove people to get bluetooth earpieces: you wouldn't get pulled over for having one and talking on the phone (and cars didn't have microphones yet, so there wasn't another option).

People will be pissed that they're getting pulled over for using their phone while driving. But if there's no expectation of punishment for breaking the law, people will continue breaking the law. And texting and driving is breaking the law. And if I can spot half a dozen people texting and driving on my way to the gym, cops can definitely spot folks texting. Hell, if I could apply for the special cop job of "pull people over for texting" and nothing else, I'd do it purely out of resentment for distracted driving.

The US is very different from Europe in this sense. My house uses a small fraction of an equivalent family home in the United States. On the coldest days in winter I might go through 10 KWh of electricity and 15 cubic meters of natural gas. During a summer day gas usage will be < 0.5 cubic meters (mostly for shower water) and electricity will be 60 KWh or more returned to the grid.

Someone with smaller service won't be able to create as much variability in load as someone with a much more beefy hookup.

In my anecdotal experience, the more someone talks the less they know.

A common sentiment I have heard in the US is that "TikTok causes antisemitism".

What I believe is actually happening is that TikTok debunks a lot of Hasbara talking points about the Israeli occupation of palestine (because people can see the violence with their own eyes), but then people are not educated further about the nuances of Zionism and Judaism, the different political movements within Israel like Gush Emunim and how they are not related to Judaism at large.

Because Israel has so successfully conflated Zionism (a political movement) with Judaism (a religious one), it increases the possibility that when westerners stop supporting Israel they can adopt antisemitic viewpoints.

It's still bizarre to me that this has become the industry standard in the US.

Sure, it's all legal and perfectly reasonable at the micro level considering that every stored email increases the legal fees (due to making discovery more expensive during any hypothetical future lawsuit), but at a macro level, the outcome "companies legally delete all written communications as soon as feasible" seems baffling.

At the opposite end of the spectrum is the financial industry, where regulators effectively require recording every single bit of business communication (by taking a very liberal interpretation of some quite old law, as far as I understand), written or spoken (unless it was in person, of course), and under threat of massive fines.

It seems to me like there should be some pragmatic middle ground somewhere between these two extremes?

Your critique... strikes me as hostile and reactionary (and you are fingering others as rightwing?).

> The "founders" of this appear to be a single crank

I presume the "single crank" to whom you refer here is the author of the piece whose headling you've partially quoted, Kevin Bardosh, who is a professor of public health, expert and front-line responder on arbovirus epidemics (the threat of which still loom large), and widely regarded as an up-and-comer in this field.

The actual founders are unassailable - Sunetra Gupta and Carl Heneghan are Oxford powerhouses, among the top minds in the world on the subject matter, and have published many of the most influential and enduring pieces over their decades of professorship. Other than crude trolling, I cannot fathom what might drive you to the conclusion that their are either invisible (per your use of the word "single") or that they lack the expertise required to take the positions they take.

You'll note that the editor in chief (who happens to be a friend of mine) is a professor of epidemiology at Stanford and a senior fellow at The Hoover Institution. In addition to his work at CG, he has also worked closely throughout the pandemic in his publishing and advocacy with professors from the other three of the top 5.

Like... I hate credentialism too, but if that's your angle, it seems bizarre to attempt to smear the top professors at the world's top medical schools as cranks.

As for your quote:

> Anthony Fauci is finally facing his reckoning

...this strikes me as roundly true. Fauci was a respected professional in his field, albeit surely a PITA bureaucrat for those who depend on NIH grants for research (and perhaps already with one strike given his half-assedness and homophobia early in the AIDS pandemic, but that was fashionable then I guess).

He threw it all away in the past 3 years. His response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been almost all wrong at almost every moment. He misinterpreted the significance of the Diamond Princess dataset. He misled the public about the empirical foundations of social distancing. He unambiguously lied to Congress about the presence of gain-of-function research, which he personally greenlit. I mean... that's pretty bad.

He's not going to be sitting at the cool kid's table anymore. And yeah, he is facing a long road of reckoning ahead for what he's done.
