It always irks me that discussion of space debris invariably talks about their high velocity relative to the ground, which is completely meaningless.

What really matters is their velocity relative to each other, which of course will vary, especially for objects on different orbits that happen to intersect.

The closing velocities involved can still be very high, and the "bullet" metaphor still applies in most cases, but it's misleading to label them as travelling at "17,500 mph (28,160 kph)".

The other thing that always bothers me is the graphical depictions that show a "point cloud" of debris in orbit around Earth. These always underplay the size of the earth and overplay the size of the orbital objects.

When discussing space debris, it's always worth remembering that there's approximately 10,000 planes in the air at a given time, and yet if you look up, how many can you see in the sky above you?

Since orbits are much higher, they're consequently much larger, providing even more available space than there is to commercial aviation. Not only that, but there's a far greater altitude range available for satellites than for planes, making the available space out there even more massive.

I don't doubt that space debris is an (emerging) problem, but the current severity of it often seems overplayed by the mainstream media.
There is no doubt Microsoft is in cahoots with all US 3 letter agencies. They have connections and systems in place to make it easy for data collection.

> What's important is that pretty soon Chrome will be the only choice for iOS users as websites migrate over to requiring it

Meh, people say this, but what exactly is Safari doing to push back against Chrome hegemony? Supporting Chrome/Safari is still less work than supporting Chrome/Safari/Firefox. And in the meantime, Safari has a more restrictive adblocking API than Chrome (which is saying something), is pushing device attestation in the browser for circumventing captchas (which would be a death-knell for Firefox), and can't be run on non-Apple devices. And it gets billions of dollars every year from Google to influence its search engine (which weirdly enough, is a criticism that only gets lobbed at Firefox despite the fact that Apple gets way more Google money).

I'm convinced that the only thing that Safari exclusivity is going to guarantee is that websites list 2 supported browsers instead of 1, as well as giving Google more ammo to use when it inevitably tries to push device attestation for the web a second time. "But Apple did it" was already a common refrain during Google's last attempt.

Apple doesn't play well with other standards-makers and isn't taking a proactive role right now in the web standards process. In that vacuum, Chrome dominates and pushes anti-user specifications. So yes, Safari is an alternative to Chrome, but I'm not convinced it's a useful one or that it's doing anything to push for progressive enhancement or to push against user-agent sniffing. Does it really matter if there's an alternative to Chrome if it's only available on iOS, has a terrible extension API, and leaves every single other device to be Chrome-exclusive?

We need to break Chrome off from Google and examine the anti-competitive privileging that Google performs in Chrome. Safari isn't a substitute for that. Relying on Safari to hold off Chrome is effectively the same thing as ceding control of the web to Chrome.

Which is why they are offering a managed service as well. Even people with the technical skills are not always inclined to selfhost.

Privacy is for criminals and storing CSAM, right? Why would you even want Dropbox at this point, Google Drive is all you need. Unless you wanted to help diagnose your child[1] and unfortunately the photo was synchronized to Drive and flagged.

You have every right to expect your photos to stay private. Even if those are just a landscape. Why should you be obligated to have an AI scan them for offending content or scan them to detect who you met and when (surely so they can build a yearly recap for you, how kind!)? Did you ever get consent from everyone on your photos for this sharing and processing?

You may not be interested in E2EE or open source, and that's absolutely fine. But you shouldn't actively undermine it by associating encryption and privacy with crimes.

I thought MOND only kicked-in in regions of a galaxy where acceleration was much lower than in the Sun's region.

These guys appear to be reasoning that because the Oort Cloud is far from the Sun (i.e. relatively low acceleration) then MOND might apply. But isn't part of the reasoning for MOND that its effects can't be tested anywhere near Earth, because this whole galactic neighbourhood experiences much too much acceleration?

The article was very thin on explaining how MOND could explain anomalous orbits of Oort Cloud objects, or what kinds of anomaly they are trying to address.

Where hard to understand? You don’t have to sell on Amazon and deal with their commissions but people do.

A news website doesn’t have to allow Google to crawl them since they complain that Google takes their ad revenues - yet they do.

And Apple would get no cut if Candy Crush were on the web and even the cut they would get from using Apple Pay (not in app payments) are standard credit card payments.

But kids who probably don’t have access to credit cards still can use in app payments along with people who don’t have credit cards at all who can use Apple gift cards. I gave up a reliable reference from a well known analyst about Aggregation Theory.

Outside of the App Store, parents aren’t going to give their kids unfettered access to their credit cards compared to parental controls that are available within the App Store.

If so many developers are in such a hurry to leave the OS providers App Store, then why don’t the same developers leave the Google Play store where it is allowed?

How did that work for Epic with Android?

The fact is that game developers - who make up 90% of App Store revenue according to data that came out during the Epic trial - complain about the 30% cut. But they want access not only to Apple’s customers but also to in app purchases so they can use every psychological trick to take advantage of the whales.

Neither Google nor Apple care about the Indy developer and the little revenue they make.

Are you fighting for the independent developer or the slimy pay to win game developers?

She does not express this fact in the right way.

Whenever the facts predicted by a theory do not match the experimental facts, one could say that the theory has predicted the existence of an unknown factor that has affected the experiments.

Nevertheless, until there is an alternative way to determine the existence of that unknown factor, the right way is to simply say that there is a mismatch between predictions and observations and the reason for this mismatch must be determined in the future. For now, the current theory is not accurate enough.

For instance, when some planetary movements did not coincide with the predictions, it was supposed that perhaps there exists an extra planet which explains the discrepancies between predictions and observations.

This supposition was confirmed only when Neptune was also observed with a telescope. If Neptune had never been observed, perhaps it would have been discovered that the mathematical model of gravitation must be improved.

For now, there are discrepancies between observations and the predictions of the current mathematical model of gravitation. Like in the cases of Neptune and Pluto, there is a supposition that perhaps there exists some kind of dark matter that would be the cause of the discrepancies.

Until the moment when an alternative way to determine the existence of dark matter will be discovered, like the optical observations of Neptune and Pluto, the existence of dark matter remains just a hypothesis that cannot be used for any practical purpose, because it cannot predict anything. Dark matter can be added arbitrarily in any place and this can make any theory of gravity match the observations.

Therefore now we have galaxies that are supposed to be rich in dark matter and galaxies that are supposed to be poor in dark matter, in order to fit the observations, but without any a priori rule that could be used to predict this.
I agree with you on the cloud-native stuff, I'm sure it's great after a certain scale, but I think people switch to it way too early, and now we're running our three apps on a huge stack not many people can know unless they spend a lot of time understanding the configs.

If your terminal exposes an API screen readers could access, there's nothing stopping it from defining escapes to allow you to assign aria roles, etc. to spans of text.

But there's a bit of a chicken and egg problem there - you need a terminal to expose it, and a screen reader to support it before there's any benefit for any applications in adding it.

One way of pushing some support for that, though, might be that if terminal apps annotates their output, it also opens the door for selectively letting users override presentation of it.

GitHub doesn’t really allow nested or even related organizations so it would be a nightmare to have all repos in a single org.

There is a GitHub for government [0] but it relies on contribs and isn’t very complete.

GSA started code.gov under the Obama administration with the aim to create a single index of all government projects. It withered under Trump and was basically defunded under Biden so they don’t really do much other than link out to major agencies and there’s no longer a requirement to timely index.

My org has like a 1000 repos and we’re one of hundreds of agencies so I can’t imagine collecting all these together without a little effort. The original code.gov worked pretty well as everyone just dropped a code.json file onto their web site and GSA scooped them up and combined them into a single. So it’s a real shame they stopped doing that, and stopped asking people to publish their code.jsons as it was a good idea.

This is an awesome feature, combined with appropriate type and bounds checking and prevents so many errors. It can also avoid resorting to a heavier-weight map type.

Ada has this as well, including using any arbitrary continuous range for array indexing which handles remapping indices for you. e.g. if the key range is 20-40 the language handles associating it with array indices for you.

> What are some examples of standards-track features that they implement that Apple doesn't?

Lack of any obvious method to actually install a PWA is probably the biggest blocker to PWA adoption today. They aren’t yet a web standard but citing standards always feels like a very convenient argument: there are a great many web features implemented by most browsers before they become standards. Multiple implementations are often part of the standardisation process.

When iOS finally implemented Web Push they gated it to only apply to Home Screen installed apps and those who defend Apple lauded the decision. Yet there’s absolutely no mention of that behaviour in web standards. Apple, like every browser creator, takes web standards as advisory and implements the parts they want, in the way they want.

4ad's comment has the right general idea. To explain in more detail:

They compared pulsed light to continuous light with the same average power [1]. This means that the light intensity within the flux was much higher than the intensity of the continuous (since the pulses were short compared to the repetition rate). The proposed mechanism (and their result) depends on the square of the light intensity (because it requires simultaneous absorbtion of two photons), so the effect is scales quickly with increasing peak laser power, but (I'm guessing here) doesn't depend as strongly on average laser power.

Additionally, I expect 4ad was right that sufficiently-intense continuous light would damage our eyes.

My guess is basically that the timescales of two photon absorbtion and human perception are so different (i.e. two photon absorbtion is much faster), that the effects of the pulsed beam (which was repeating at 76 MHz in the experiment) can be treated basically continuous when considering human perception.

The radius of the i_th disc is the absolute values

On the flip side, I think past actions are a better indicator of intent than assuming good intent.

Having a closed ecosystem has been baked into Apple's DNA since day 1. Not just software, but even the hardware was sealed to prevent modifications to the hardware in an age when upgrading and modding PCs was the norm.

Over the past few decades there have been a lot of changes at Apple, but preventing user customization has been intertwined with their design-first philosophy. It seems naive to think they are doing anything but the minimal required action to maintain their hermetically sealed ecosystem.
That’s not a counter argument. Market cap is a metric that indicates demand for the stock, not the product.
