You go find a new clothing store.

>You're entirely missing the point. Tech companies don't get to dictate what we can do with their products.

No, I'm not, and yes, sometimes they do, if you agree to it. Lots of enterprise vendors dictate how their customers can use their products.

>You think that going to a competitor is the answer but the competitor is doing the same thing and so would every company over time

No, they aren't doing the same thing. I can use other app stores (or side-loaded apps) on Android right now. Why is this SO hard for you to understand? No, there's no evidence this is going to change. If it does, then you have a very good reason for government to step in and force changes.
No, I made the claim that Von Neumann lacked ethical wisdom, if his reported positions are accurate. I didn’t say I had more ethical understanding. One can point out the flaws in something without involving oneself. This is…not complicated?

This is exactly the sort of criticism that arises from hero worship. “Who are you to criticize the genius?”

And no, a council did not launch nuclear weapons. They advised the president, who made the final decision.
I don't think they disappeared because the vehicles were in bad shape. These companies realized they could charge the same hourly rate for the rental of a $500 scooter as they could for, say, a $20,000 Smart ForTwo car. I expect the same race to the bottom here.
They are both fabulously expensive.

> In addition to the financial costs, research suggests that not sorting and managing electronic records makes it more difficult to put together the information needed at tax time, or for other high-stakes situations, such as loan applications.

I understand this as difficulty of finding information which came in emails.

An issue with emails which I didn't find in the article is that actively sorting emails by hand takes time and effort, which would better be spent elsewhere. I'd like to see better approaches to emails which won't ask me to do something - after all, email is for me, not I for email.

Minimal actions are none - so we should consider fully automatic approaches to email-related records keeping. Emails are obviously sorted by time and "from" address, which already helps a lot. We learned to deal with spam to a much better extent than some 30 years ago - we'd still have it even better, but it's already something. Next, we can sort emails into "responded" and "not responded". Information in emails should be easily searchable, and we're quite capable in that too. Emails should be backed up - that's a significant personal DB which we can't afford to lose. At the same time it shouldn't require us to read all the emails - some of those emails are for future references which may never become needed.

I'd liked article more if it focused on these issues as well.
X11 was absolutely not the way to go since the day it was released on 15 September 1987, but that never stopped it.
> It was so ingrained in Soviet leadership that it was sometimes counterproductive - one famous example is Beria's insistence on strictly following the atomic bomb designs lifted from the Manhattan project which probably didn't make the bomb makers' jobs any easier.

That's because because they had realized they were behind already. And it's not like the Americans and the Soviets were going to open their nuclear bomb blueprints so they world got to laugh at the copy-cat design.

> It's not really how the Soviet Union operated, this sort of "technology transfer" was fundamental to Soviet development from the start.

As far as computers went in the 1950s and 1960s the Soviets initially did pretty well. Their BESM-1 machine was the fastest in Europe for some years. They even had revolutionary designs like the Setun with its famous ternary logic. So they had the brains and the capability do build them. But due to planning and political hubris they lost their lead.

But once they were behind it was considered better to copy than not have the technology at all, but yes, those were made by political appointees and people who did not listen or take the scientists' or engineers' opinions seriously.
Yes, never noted that!
What is the upside of opening a company there if you can incorporate in a EU country with much much lower taxation say Cyprus or, you have a EU citizenship and the company is in IT field, Malta, and pay just 5% tax (and 0% tax on dividends from it if you move there and become a tax resident)? It effectively means increasing your income 2x-2.4x depending on how high the revenue is, vs paying 30% profit tax and then on dividends, 45% personal income tax in Germany. While still enjoying all the same access to funding and open EU market as in Germany.

Another much closer and cheaper to run option is Hungary where company profit tax is 9% and personal income tax is 15%, still providing up to 2x higher net personal income on same revenue vs Germany.

Bold and utterly wrong statement
I've been in that situation before, but I'm starting to get to a point in my career where I've basically plateaued. And before you tell me that I just need to buckle down and re-engage, the company I'm currently at gives across the board 2-3% raises every year to their top performers and my team has delivered some really key strategic projects, so there's not really any point to doing anything else at this company. It doesn't meaningfully change my compensation.

Theres only so much the filter in a dishwasher can take before it clogs, and it is easier and a better clean to simply rinse the bulk off quickly then pop it in the dishwasher for a proper clean.

The article addresses this by saying just to scrape it off first, but I am convinced I get a better clean if the bulk of the sauce etc., is washed off too. Maybe I am imagining it.
Every dishwasher manual and the instructions for every dishwasher detergent I've ever bought/read pretty clearly instructs you to scrape debris off and then put them in the dishwasher dirty. I never understood why people feel the need to wash their dishes before washing their dishes.
I keep an old spice shaker loaded with dishwashing powder by the sink. For pots and pans that I hand wash, when they're particularly dirty, sprinkling in a little, running some water in them, and letting them soak even for just a few minutes makes the cleaning so much easier.
Implosion design would have been worked out eventually with JN or not. Computer models make this a lot easier and they probably could have gotten there even without via trial and error.

ACEEE factors in the lifetime emissions of the chemistry of the battery.

Some batteries, like NCA, have worse emissions than others.

Also: the grid is mostly coal and nat. gas today. Case in point: the Hummer EV burns more fossil fuels on electricity because it weighs 4 tons.

EV doesn't make anything automatically more efficient. Only the smallest and lightest EVs, like the Leaf, have high environmental scores.
The article is wrong. The drain hose from my air gap to the garbage disposal became clogged over time where it bends slightly, so I had to remove it and clean out the collected gunk. The gunk was just coagulated food particles, so I believe pre-rinsing dishes would have slowed this down considerably.
And it has used AI to minimize collateral damage globally, but perhaps maximize acceptable collateral damage of a certain sort. It kills not just the target, but those who love them most... and who might feel the strongest sense of loss, otherwise.

I fear for this world, where any movement that challenges [illegitimately-held] power can die in a cradle of strategically bombed relationships. The Geneva Convention was not designed to grapple with this level of micro-targeting...
> You want to make sure to scrape off any chunks of remaining food that could potentially gunk up or clog your machine, but go ahead and leave that last layer of food soil, sauces, and grease on the dishes,”

If scrapping is needed, straight rinsing is faster and efficient, and probably keeps the outgoing water cleaner by filtering the junk chunks at the sink level.

So no, but actually yes.
I'm assuming there was no gamma ray burst detected at that time, or else the press release would have mentioned it.

The fuck, this is literally just an ad with a clickbait headline:

“Thinking of my home’s aging, and perhaps fragile, plumbing, I asked Eberhard how dishwasher soaps like Cascade break down the food, sauces, and grease left of dirty plates sitting in the dishwasher.

“Super-packed dishwasher detergent [like Cascade Platinum Plus!] has a powerful combination of cleaning ingredients that hydrate and scrub tough, dried-on food resulting in virtually spot-free, cabinet-ready dishes,” she explains. “The dual-power cleaning formula is composed of starch-fighting and protein-fighting enzymes that break down tough-to-clean foods better than ever before.”

I probably should, but so far, there's only a few articles I've saved this way (long-form writing that get saved to my read-later list). Most of the links I've saved are objects-related (apps, libraries,...), and will only be useful if I need to interact with the object. If something is useful to me (techniques, recommendations,…) I put it in my notes. If the whole site is useful, I archive it.
I've heard people say you don't need to rinse, but from experience this just doesn't seem to be true, or at least it's based on the dishwasher you have. I had a dishwasher 15 years ago where I tested the idea of not rinsing vs rising, and if I didn't rinse, I would sometimes have dishes that weren't completely clean (ie, hot chocolate residue in a mug, cheese from mac n cheese on silverware, etc).
It's often remarked that American bread is reminiscent of cake, in that is loaded with sugar. I wonder if they would like it better on more traditional, wholemeal bread. I also note that the post falls to mention butter, which is a key ingredient in any Vegemite-on-toast preparation.

Also, the article compares Vegemite to soy sauce. While Vegemite is salty, black and umami flavoured, I think it is more similar to Japanese miso soup.

Every dishwasher and detergent company will also tell you that their product is really good, will save you time and money, and brighten your life.

The claim on the efficiency of their product ("just scrap the bigger chunks and it will be fine") is biased, at best.

> Two types of PBDEs were voluntarily removed from the US market in 2004. However, the US Environmental Protection Agency did not regulate decabromodiphenyl ether, or DecaBDE, a flame retardant linked to cancer used in textiles, televisions, computers, building and construction materials, and imported articles such as automotive parts, until January 2021.

Great, so you can have an older car without telemetry or a newer one without carcinogens.

> In some cases, the industry has replaced these chemicals with newer phosphorus-based flame retardants, Trasande said, adding that researchers are now concerned these chemicals may be linked to cancer as well.

Of course. So no point in ditching your old car, since the new car will just have upholstery stuffed with a new type of carcinogen.
it drives me bonkers so I'm following it semi closely. The obvious solution is the provinces stuff something like a simplification of residential zoning to 2 zones, one which lets you build everything up to some story (lets say six) and have some high lot coverage (say 80%) and a zone for everything else. Everything within the spec in the first zone gets a mandated approval in some short time period (say 2 weeks) everything in the second gets a mandated approval in a longer time but still fairly short (say 2 months). Have the list of allowed no's be very restrictive and approve everything else. Feds should phase out new CMHC lending over some reasonably long time period (say 20 years) and do a better job of matching immigration to skills shortages and limiting immigration to a smaller number outside the skills shortage areas until the shortages are addressed. Just get it done already guys!

Wow, I love this thread. Tons of expats talk to each other how bad the country they choose for living actually is. And on top of that, words like legally entitled fly by. If you don't like Germany (who is?) then move on. It was never a country particularily friendly to expats. Berlin might be different if you find your flock... Heck, I had friends from .at move to .de and totally fail to connect with people. Really, if you can move out again, go for it. But whining about the paperwork is pathetic.
What "amazing things" are you referring to?

I am not too familiar with the matter, only aware that self-employed people often generously use deductions and a company car to ease tax burden.
I agree. I recall the first time I used an Apple device after the "corner swipes" became the norm. I was shocked at how challenging it was to get right, then puzzled by the lack of any labels on what I saw. I recall thinking, "this really isn't a simple or intuitive design".

Apple designs are certainly gorgeous and well marketed, but there are multiple instances where their design seems to stand in the way of utility and practicality.
It is a mistake in logic to assume that because someone is successful they are talented or deserving. There is a huge luck factor and even larger "pre-existing advantages" factor i.e. rich parents, being born in the right area, etc. This is a fallacy very common in America in particular (though by no means only found there).

If you have money, buy a sports team, and the managers of the team turn it into a champion, that does not inherently make you a gifted owner or manager - it means you had the capital to get in.

It's sort of "raw flux" but it's still in the digital domain. The drive's pre-amp, gain control, and ADC are still in the loop. Tapping the direct output of the heads would really be raw flux (and would allow creating a completely software-defined "floppy drive").
> My emphasis is more on what we can do, or not do, as participants in a technological society that chooses what technology to make.

The laws of physics do not (or are not known to at least) prevent people from desiring to fix this hilariously suboptimal "democracy" we live under and most everyone seems to hate (well, except when they're gushing about how great it is), but something does.

I often wonder if propaganda and culture play a role.

> I don't think they are fooling any of us.

I believe the opposite - I believe at least 95% of people are adequately fooled (to sustain indefinite disinterest), and most of the remaining 5% are "conspiracy theorists" which we all know can be safely ignored.
I’m glad you can believe this is true, genuinely. I have hope that maybe this means things will change.

But as a white guy from middle American (in that I lived there for 40 years) who has voted Republican and Democrat and has enough conservative ideas that people are often confused about my political leanings, I can tell you there is some truth to this.

I’ve been in the room more than several hundred times when people who were working in the American bureaucracy openly "decried the horrors of the Mexican invasion ". I will admit the majority of that was my ex’s father but it wasn’t only him. I’m certain he did not make things easier on his Mexican applicants (dmv in his case).

I’ve also heard racial slurs used hundreds of thousands of times, very few people engaging in this voted democrat.

I’m sure there are endless stupid conspiracy theories in progressive echo chambers, I hear them from time to time they are just as silly as republican ones and I would love nothing more the above comment to be correct.

In the end, their experience definitely does not match up with mine and we should all be sad.
Wouldn’t a neutron star orbiting a black hole be an aberration though?

In Finland I can't remember the last time I filled a paper form for anything. And I've gotten new debit and credit cards, opened bank and stock holding accounts for me and my family, renewed _very_ expired passports, applied for multiple loans (200k€+), started a company and worked with medical services (recipes, doctor appointments)

The only things that required physical presence were getting my kid's first debit card and fetching the passports, everything else was fully digital and remote.

What a bunch of bullshit. I was there when they called Dilma's impeachment a coup, they protested it just as vigorously. Hell they still call it a coup and they seem to be rather keen on memory holing any fact to the contrary now that they're back in power. You don't see me calling them terrorists. Even the most communist parties in Brazil denounced that narrative for obvious reasons. Things are not going to end well for them if protesting gets you labelled a terrorist.

Violence? Nobody was even hurt. Well not at the protest anyway. Some people have already died in the quasi-concentration camp they set up in Brasília for the political prisoners. The judge-kings haven't even finished dispensing their "justice" yet.

Coup attempt? If only. Maybe then they would have actually deserved those 20 year sentences. Maybe they should have actually tried to seize power. It's all the same to the judges anyway, why not go all the way? Who knows? Maybe they would have succeeded. I for one sure would enjoy not having to live under the rule of literal communists.

> Moreover Brazilian law allows content to be removed online for reasons of investigation, hate speech or unbased defamation.

LOL what does it matter what brazilian law says? It's not even a civilized, democratic country anyway. Just anger a judge with your opinions and you'll see how far they'll stretch those "brazilian laws" to hang you. We have journalists, YouTubers fleeing to the USA to escape persecution. They banned Bolsonaro from office over wrongthink. Not even the incredibly dumb shit he said during the pandemic, over his perfectly reasonable criticism of the voting machines. He questioned the unquestionable.

Brazilian law? What a total joke. It's like saying "but North Korea's laws allow its dictator to..." as an argument. I'm not even convinced this land has any laws to begin with. Says on the little paper they call a constitution that censorship is illegal. The judges ordered censorship anyway, political censorship at that. The censorship actually happens, despite supposedly being unconstitutional. You vote for guys to pass laws to bring society in line with what you want it to be, then the unelected judges come in and just "vote" on that law so as to decriminalize abortion, drugs, you name it. So do these mythical laws even exist? I don't think so. Whatever whims the judge writes on his paper becomes law, and only because it actually makes police go out there and enforce it. I don't even know why they bother to keep up this charade. Why even waste all this taxpayer money on all these useless politicians?
