That's not true for me, I can hear higher frequencies just fine. It can cause problems sometimes! Besides the usual annoyances like transformers in old CRTs, there's a video game whose soundtrack has these horrible piercing tones left in, and I've only found a few other people complaining about it online. Most—including the composer, I assume—can't hear them, so are unbothered.
The growing pace of new papers, especially in CS, is a hard problem to solve.

You can't have it both ways. The solution to a tragedy of the commons is to manage the commons. How can you say that you dislike master plans, but you want a planned design!? Architects pouring their heart and soul into a building's design is a good thing, but city planners pouring their heart and soul into a neighborhood's design is a bad thing!?

One reason it's impossible to do anything is because large-scale planning is unfairly villainized as "inefficient big government intervention", and here you are villainizing it, while simultaneously wishing for intervention (from, who else? Government!)
We have already made big improvements in using SpiderMonkey on WASM, and have more work in progress that will enable SpiderMonkey to have "native"-like codegen for WASM: https://cfallin.org/blog/2023/10/11/spidermonkey-pbl/

An additional benefit of using a fast JS runtime inside of WASM, even on a WASM engine that natively supports JS, is to use a Wasm Component as a security boundary around JS code. This could be used as an means of isolating supply-chain security issues, or allowing users to provide (untrusted) JS code that extends an existing system while having a clear and strong boundary on how untrusted JS code can affect the host JS code.
Personally, I don't think this works in real life. Consumers catch on to dishonest business practices and want choose new market options if/when they becomes available, and do not need a nanny state to pick winners and losers. If anything, excessive regulation and legal hurdles impede and prevent this market force from working as it should. Internet providers in the US are a perfect example of this in action: why would these virtual monopolies want to provide a better product if it's so hard for competition to materialize? They are incentivized to offer a less than ideal product while also lobbying for increased or maintained regulation to ensure the status quo. This isn't capitalism, but cronyism.

Tell them you need a main enterance to access a building: Wide doors, fire safety regs.

Next you need wide hallways, leading to atriums, with smaller doors, leading to apartments, individual rooms, cupboards, shelving, etc.

A building is hierarchical, and similar to a file system. You can explain flow of people, flow of stuff, storage, whatever.

Sincere question - why does this matter? From what I understand, all iOS browsers are basically just safari with a different skin on top. I don't see much point to me using Firefox on iOS except for the syncing. I'm probably missing something though.
> Why isn't iOS devices a market?

Same reason "McDonalds hamburgers" aren't a market. They're just a branded product within a larger "smartphones" market.

> How do you define market, then, if that's not a market?

Same way the FTC does:

> all goods or services that buyers view as close substitutes

An Android is a close substitute for an iPhone, just like a Ford is a close substitute for a Toyota. People switch between them all the time.

> Gaza has a sizable coastline, and China has a large number of amphibious assault ships available. They can defend themselves against Israel air attacks

Sorry but this is goofy fan-fiction. No, China does not have the ability to forcibly land in Gaza without huge losses, and then being completely trapped there with no hope of resupply. That's an incredibly long supply line.
Trans exclusionary radical feminists are socially conservative. It's eponymous; any group that has to exclude people by definition is conservative in nature. They're not traditionalists necessarily, but they are defined by a shared conservative belief. No educated TERF would argue differently, unless they're somehow convinced that femininity is a liberal concept.

You're correct that some mostly-liberal individuals hold conservative beliefs, but that's not proof of bias in the language. They're using the most accurate possible word, and if you disagree then you should take it up with Merriam Webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conservative

> Gaza has a sizable coastline, and China has a large number of amphibious assault ships available. They can defend themselves against Israel air attacks.

Chinese warships will never be allowed anywhere near the Mediterranean in the first place - if there is one thing that even the split US Congress will agree on, it is that China already has too much influence and that they need to be stopped.

Additionally, China's army hasn't seen actual combat in a loooong time. It's likely that their army is in just as bad of a shape as Russia's is, and getting that demonstrated on the world stage before they have a chance to snack a piece or the whole of Taiwan would be pretty foolish.

You've been posting repeatedly to this thread in a way that has been crossing into flamewar and breaking the intended spirit that I tried to express in my pinned comment at the top. Could you please stop doing this? It leads to hellish flamewar, and we don't want that here.

I am certain that you have very legitimate reasons for feeling strongly. Whatever your reasons may be, I respect them. At the same time, posting in a thread like this has to do with how one manages one's feelings: do they express themselves in (let's call it) a weaponized way? if so, that's against the intended spirit here. Or can you post in a way that is somehow larger than that? No one can be asked to do the latter, but I do think we can ask commenters to refrain from posting if they can't get there.

It's also just a massive time/money sink to have your own legal team review all of that stuff. You don't want to send anything to another party before you have reviewed it. In addition, there are often conflicting rules there, where there is private information of unrelated parties in the messages, so the review process just becomes unmanageable if it is an archive over a long period of time.

Meanwhile, we now have people putting stuff into their own personal information management systems, training various models on the data, etc. When the company ceases to be a valuable library of the information necessary to do your job, people start specifically archiving things that might be useful at some point in the future, and the discovery process becomes unbounded.
Yes, but in terms of:

> I am getting too old to have time to fiddle with this stuff and just want something that works.

I definitely find the iPhone great.

It _generally_ just works. If shit does break there's no fiddling... it's just broken. If it doesn't work the way you want there's no fiddling... suck it up or get a new phone.

They probably just saw the title of the article and assumed that it was talking about allowing alternate browser engines on iOS.

Can’t blame them, the title is rather misleading. I originally thought the same thing until I read the actual article.
That’s working correctly. Stop looking at your phone while driving.

Buttons on a screen are a bad idea and should be highly discouraged for drivers. Big buttons almost make that worse because of licensing, i.e. people see a thing labeled car mode and assume that means it’s safe to use in a car.

Voice interfaces are generally safer, partly because of eye line but also because they significantly constrain the space of things your phone can do and thus use less attention.
I think the idea is that they'd genuinely be providing humanitarian aid, with military presence genuinely being there for self-defense.

They would simply be stepping into the role on the world stage the US and other Western countries have fulfilled for the last few decades. Israel probably wouldn't be foolish enough to attack them, and their allies definitely wouldn't aid them.

And in the unlikely event Israel does attack their humanitarian convoy, it would only give China an opportunity to do some live-fire practice and score extra points on the world stage as the innocent defender.
I didn't say they would find a market, just that it is the best bet left if you need one. Airlines don't want this. Maybe a government, but for the same reason a billionair would want one: flying the dictator around.

That is a great theory, but where is the proof? I've read the article.
As much as I don't like apple's walled garden, reliability and consistency are exteremly valuable for users like my mom who's currently a pixel user.

I hate being worried about her calling from a neighbor's phone one day because her phone is unusable. I'm aware that this issue doesn't affect all pixels, but an issue like this affecting even 1% of devices is not okay.

I'm holding on to hope that google hasn't agressively pushed out this update, and my mom's phone won't auto update until this is resolved.

Agree with everyone on the weird mouse focus. I read this expecting/hoping for a discussion of how the appification of everything is impacting users (like why are the youngins not running circles around millennials when it comes to computers?) or maybe a discussion about how complexity in modern systems has gotten so great that it’s becoming roughly impossible to tame in a reliable long term manner or something.

Precise control.

Don't forget about the back though: I had a driver slam into me while stopped at a light. She wrecked 4 cars including her own and sent me to the hospital with a $25K ER bill. Took 2 years to resolve that.

I get so sick of hearing people say "It's okay: my car lets me talk hands free!" It isn't just the hands that are a problem ... it's your brain being disengaged that's the problem. No hands-free phone fixes that.

The bottom line is, no one should be using their phone and driving. If you have to use the phone, pull over.

Buried in Wegovy Costs, North Carolina Will Stop Paying for Obesity Drugs
I was in my 20s and remember the feeling in the air after Al Qaeda members hijacked commercial planes and flew them into WTC in 2001. Fear, Anger, A bit of revenge.

Many of Americans, including soviet immigrants, enlisted in the army driven by that feeling.

Israelis lost significantly more of their population percentage-wise during October 7 attack perpetrated by the official government of Gaza AND as we know now, some Gazan civilians. Over 200 Israelis were taken hostage.

With that in mind, its fairly simple for me to empathize with the Israeli public who are angry at the death of their fellow citizens and want Hamas to be punished.

Might be. Here in the US, as a cyclist who has to look at drivers to ensure that they see me, something like 1 in 10 are using a phone with one hand, texting or swiping Facebook/TikTok with their thumb while driving with the other hand. An even larger fraction pick the phone up at any stoplight to check messages or scroll, and occasionally need to be honked at to realize the light has turned green.

It's not quite a lethal problem when their peripheral can notice a car in front of them (which is probably moving with traffic), but it could be lethal for me. Car drivers are used to looking for cars, they're not looking for me on a bike - even with a florescent yellow backpack, flame orange helmet, and obscenely bright red blinky rear light.

I've given up hope on people not talking on their phone or occasionally dialing a call with their fingers or updating navigation apps or starting a voice-to-text or using their phones at stoplights. But could we at least get a few of the most-used OSes and non-driving apps to not work when they're being used by a driver? If there are no other phone Bluetooth beacons continuously in range (you're known to be not a passenger), there is a car stereo Bluetooth beacon, and GPS says you're in motion on a road at road speeds, don't play video. Don't allow new social notifications. Don't allow Tiktok or Facebook or Reddit to run. At least make an effort at it, stop the easiest 80%.

I'm convinced it's going to take a horrific accident going viral - someone plowing through a class of elementary students on a field trip while live-streaming or something like that - to cause change.
As she argues, there are all sorts of uncertainties regarding the effect upon voting behavior. All academic results are inconclusive at best.

Yet, politics are a lot more than that. Surely we all read Gramsci at some point?

"Ultimately, most research suggests that fake news is more likely to enhance existing beliefs and views rather than radically change voting intentions of the undecided."

But that is long-term priming, isn't it? Didn't we learn anything from the Cold War? Decades-long campaigns.

Yeah it's never OK but do you also think Finland should get Viipuri back? That was the second-largest city of Finland, the Soviets took it in WWII and kicked out all the Finns and that was that. It's now Vyborg, a sleepy Russian town of little importance. That was a catastrophe too.

Do you also think Lviv should be Polish? And Wrocław German? And Trabzon Greek? No wait I mean Armenian, which do we even pick, seriously everybody wants Trabzon! Should the entire Arabian peninsula be Turkish again?

Where does it stop? Why should Palestine be restored to its one-time borders but not the rest? All this happened in a time when moving populations around at the whim of a few imperialist rulers was considered a super normal thing to do. That doesn't make it right, but the Nakba isn't a particularly unique historical event. Get over it, and focus on the actual current events that are also bad, such as the settlements, decades of effective imprisonment of everybody in Gaza, and so on. There's plenty of good arguments! But "from the river to the sea" is a far right revisionist talking point and in my opinion it does an enormous disservice to the Palestinian case.

Yeah.
Currently used? Probably quite a bit. But usually still a net emissions win for using an EV vs a fossil fuel vehicle even with current grids.

Required? None. There's nothing in EV battery production or charging or usage that requires burning fossil fuels. That fossil fuels are a major source of our current energy is part of the problem that we are also working to solve. And mass production of economical batteries is part of how we do that with renewable energy.

Building grids and vehicles that burn fossil fuels means you need to keep drilling, refining, and transporting that fossil fuel for every future kWH generated or mile driven. Forever.

A battery is made once and used for its lifetime, and most of its critical materials can be recycled at end of life into new batteries.

If you want current stats on total lifetime emissions of manufacturing and using batteries vs fossil fuels, search for "EV cradle to grave emissions" and there are a few studies. My recollection is that the results show that an EV will have lower lifetime emissions than a fossil fuel vehicle even with today's mostly dirty grids in most cases, and break-even in the worst grid mixes. As grids shift to renewables and recycling increases those numbers should only improve.
Not all, sorry I should have qualified that statement. I was just trying to point out that when Israel claims that it stands for all jews, it can backfire and actually end up causing more antisemitism. I have added some qualifying statements.

None of that requires "new". Architects that are caught up in having to be new make the most monstrous creations of all.
Smaller systems tend to tick over faster. Compare a fly heart with the heart of a mammal and the heart of the child with the heart of an adult. Or an elephant... Neural pathways will be longer and so slower, they may have more synapses in them. Overall it would be highly surprising for a larger system to have a higher clockrate than a smaller one.
