Google isn't really part of Apple's messaging roadmap aside from RCS (which is also not great). For the most part, for better (and absolutely worse), Google's default messaging app on Android has always been SMS. There were no cheeky attempts to weasel Google Talk or Hangouts into my texting app; they were separate things.

It's a mistake to assume that Google wants to pick a fight with carriers just because Apple does. Their goal isn't to replace SMS or use it as an obtuse marketing stunt, and whether or not that's the right or wrong decision is a hilariously irrelevant distraction to the actual problem. SMS sucks, and replacing it is either a community effort or a regulated one. Apple chose "regulated" a long, long time ago by making an insular service their replacement candidate.

WhatsApp too is a problem in it's own right; but again, it's a strawman when we're discussing Apple's specific damages (which neither Google nor Meta copy in-full). Apple uniquely uses their vertical integration to create a less competitive environment for third-parties, which is damned for scrutiny everywhere they try it. There is no reality where Google announces that WhatsApp comes preinstalled in the messaging app without immediate and legitimate antitrust bundling accusations.

Yes, you would imagine, because without relevant WAF rules in place there would be no throttling.
Not the GP, but imagine it has to do with "Newspeak" using the prefixes "plus" and "doubleplus" for emphasis. Nonplussed may have had a similar ring to "plusungood".
Book piracy or not, IA seems to be the only source for many programming books from the 2000s. (Everyone’s go-to pirate library has a much less comprehensive collection of those.)

As a European I've never had exit or entry stamps when leaving or entering the Union. The only stamps I ever got are from (some) non-EU countries.
I don’t normally care about meaning shifts as it’s part of language evolving. But nonplussed really does bother me, as the new meaning is the opposite of the original meaning. So I often have no idea what people mean when they use the word. Is it so hard to use a dictionary? All you have to do is click on the word.
This is the EU we are talking about though?

Well I think you catalyzed a fantastic meta conversation!

I wonder if it's really as simple as your theory though...I don't disagree as a generalization, but perhaps certain classes of internal issues can be bypassed/moderated by external stimulus?
> I got roasted here for recommending psychiatrist Mary Edes' book on improving mental health with dietary changes,

This is because sadly diet, fitness and weight loss are some of the topics this otherwise very lucid website literally loses its mind over. Another is natality.
Not necessarily the case. Consider the possibility that strongly-held political beliefs correlate with software engineering skill, in which case it could easily be that a politically-active but superior engineer comes out ahead despite "wasting" some time on political issues. Yes, they're not as productive as a hypothetical engineer with the same skillset and no political beliefs - but that hypothetical engineer may not exist. Alternatively, consider that forty hours of dedicated software engineering may be beyond the capability of the human brain and that political arguments happen during what would be classified as rest and relaxation time if not for labor standards developed for physical laborers and factory workers in the 1930s. Alternatively, consider that most people work better with motivation, the belief that you are doing good is among the healthiest and most powerful motivators available, that maintaining such a belief requires continuous effort, that such effort would likely involve discussion, and that that discussion would almost necessarily happen at work. I'm not claiming that any of these scenarios are the case. I'm simply pointing out that they are possible and plausible, and thus it is not necessarily the case that an employee arguing politics at work is underperforming, either in relation to their own potential or relative to others.
Is that still true in modern times with more people, but also better technologies? They make gold notes now that are 1/1000th an oz. Two of those would get you lunch. Also...if it was the main source of currency, wouldn't the value go up to where you would need very little (example - $15,000 an oz)?

I'd even guess you could keep it in a form of bank and then have a debit card you could use where most items were tiny tiny fractions of an oz. Is it still too little gold at that point?

I'm not suggesting a gold standard btw...just curious. I'd also point out that it might be crazy, but our current system seems incredibly risky and many nations have had their currency collapse through over supply. I don't think a perfect solution exists here.
How many of them were helped thanks to Anduril products?
Yup. At least 2 clicks and you have to process what you are clicking to understand. I've seen more than a few sites where it's

"Ok" then "Customize" followed by a bunch of checkboxes to disable cookies while the "accept all button" is where typically "OK" would be and the "reject all" is often labeled something else that isn't clear.

This is also not often remembered on future visits so you end up doing this dance every time you visit that site.
It's interesting that your primary criticism is that the scientists are too diverse...truly a struggle for me to see why that's such an abhorrent error

Personally I thought they did a good job at adapting a book that I thought would be nearly impossible to transform into a "pop" sci fi series.
In this very case, the GDPR is scary enough that European carriers make sure to anonymize and aggregate analytics they sell to third parties. Even if you click OK, a data leak would be pretty harmless and wouldn't identify you personally.
I sanction this comment.
The books are very imaginative. Not always a fan of the prose, and the character development is lacking, but I think this is a great new take on the alien invasion genre that tries to put all of the current theories about extraterrestrials (or lack-thereof) into a very big plot.

Part of the draw of the first book is how much it talks about communist China from an insider perspective. I found those parts the most interesting by far, with some of the more interesting sci-fi ideas emerging toward the end. The next 2 books basically go down a speculative fiction path with the first book's ideas set in motion.

I always felt like the books were a fan fiction of certain blog posts I've read about the Fermi Paradox or the Great Filter. Any self-respecting sci-fi nerd needs to read them, and all 3 of the books. They probably won't wow you in the same way other award-winning authors have, but they should be thought-provoking.
Community Challenges Round 1- Learn Something New While Having Fun
This is not some sudden issue people are overreacting to by forking. The discussions have been going on for months/years depending on which specific issue you're taking about. What you see now is the culmination of "we've tried to fix this, but the only remaining option we see is to fork". The "younger generations do not get ..." is a silly trope. https://historyhustle.com/2500-years-of-people-complaining-a...

If you're actually interested in the non-forking ways to fix it, what are your views on the relevant RFCs proposed and the outcome of those? What's the process you're thinking of that people have missed so far?
Definitely a DJI thing since the Autel is way, way less restricted. I got annoyed that a few little barely-used airstrips seemed to enforce limitations on the entire county.
Is there much Shonen that you'd describe as "heartwarming", though? I like stories about personal emotional growth, and magic. Wasn't using "she" for virtue signalling, just as what seemed to me to be a statistical fact. There's one I can think of with a male protagonist, and his great aspiration in life is to be murderer, and he targets his classmate, who is a tall and slightly dim-witted model ... and ends up filled with protective feelings toward her, which begin when he impulsively lends her his intended murder weapon (a boxcutter) to cut some card for a school project ... and by the end of the series they're going round a mall together at Christmas, holding hands. That was a pretty good one. Recommendations for ones with male protags are welcome, if they're not full of tanks and battles and so on.
If the law were stupid, I'd expect a more robust argument about how it's stupid in the IA's appeal. They are not arguing that.

The implication is that the workers are willing to work for less pay. Any additional cost to exist in Munich is unlikely to be much more than a rounding error in comparison to the labour cost.

Which, according to Google Search, seems to be the case – with typical software engineer salaries coming in at half of what US developers realize. But perhaps your first-hand experience sees something different?

After over a decade of programming in various more and less popular languages, I became a manager. I no longer had time to write real code but I needed to be able to automate things still, so I learned Perl.

Then I discovered one of Perl's best kept secrets: it allows you to write real code, if you want to.

Now I'm back to being a regular programmer again but I just happen to be more productive with Perl than anything else.

I have written about it before[1] but it boils down to one thing: it runs anywhere with no modification or installation, even 20 years from now.

[1]: https://two-wrongs.com/why-perl.html
To be honest, it's not super clear what you are asking (as a non-english person). Do you mean you know which one is the great prize? I modified your prompt (added great before the word prize) and got this answer:

In the scenario you describe, you already know which door has the great prize and you have chosen that door initially. The game show host then eliminates one of the other two doors, which must be a door with a bad prize. At this point, you are asked whether you want to switch to the remaining unchosen door.

Since you initially chose the door with the great prize and the host's action of removing a bad prize door doesn't change the contents of the doors, there is no benefit to switching. Your initial choice was the door with the great prize, and it still contains the great prize. Switching doors would only lead you to a door with a bad prize.

Therefore, you should not switch doors. You should stick with your original choice where you already know the great prize is located.

This situation is different from the classic Monty Hall problem, where the contestant does not know where the prize is initially and the probabilities change based on the host's action of removing a bad prize door. In your case, since you know where the prize is from the start, the logic of the Monty Hall problem does not apply. Stick with your initial choice.
Th Diplomat is excellent and she plays the role perfectly.
One thing that's helped me a little bit, is to open up the spec as context, and then asking the LLM to generate tests based on that spec.

First of all, I agree this is all bananas:-) but it seems is the same with GCP and Azure. For Backblaze B2 it seems its unclear in the documentation. Willing to be corrected on this....
Software development keeps expanding in functionality and the level of detail. Twenty years ago you made a simple desktop application and that was it. Today, the same application would need to be online, which of course requires REST, authentication, load balancing, etc. You don't save information in a text or binary file, you need a database, which means object modeling, transactions, indexes, partitioning, etc. Instead of writing information to the standard output, we have log file, dynamic configuration of loggers, log rotation, infrastructure to move the logs in cloud, etc. Just editing the source code already requires several tools, including version control, which includes conflict resolution, pull requests, pre-commit hooks, etc. Nothing is ever simple; any functionality can be expanded into a separate library, parts of which will soon require libraries of their own, etc.

But ironically, instead of specialization, the trend is the opposite. Everyone is full-stack dev-sec-ops working in several different programming ecosystems, sometimes on multiple projects in parallel. You also do the testing and write the documentation, of course.

At the same time, you are supposed to be agile, and sprint, sprint, sprint, until you collapse. You can't really spend a week just sitting in silence and studying one of the hundred technologies you are supposed to master. So instead you learn everything on the fly. But as you keep jumping between thousand topics, it becomes impossible to remember them. If you accidentally memorize a library, it gets soon replaced by something new. So you keep googling endlessly, and maybe soon you will just keep pressing Ctrl+space and letting an artificial intelligence write your code... and then pray that it compiles and contains no bugs.

Makes me wonder whether it really increases the productivity, or just creates an illusion of greater productivity because people are kept visibly busy. I guess we keep writing more, but a lot of that is rewriting, or writing the supporting infrastructure.

If this keep accelerating at the same speed, in another twenty years only the artificial intelligence will be able to write code. It will use a different programming language every week, reinventing all the tools and libraries all the time. Bugs probably won't get fixed; humans will no longer be capable of that, and if the AI couldn't write the code correctly in the first place, it would be probably simpler to just throw the entire application away and rewrite it from scratch, using this week's programming language instead of the previous week's one. The resulting applications will be slow and require the latest hardware to run.
It's perfectly possible to think Hachette is being cruel and doing harm and also think IA has acted stupidly and/or recklessly.
I wonder why does not Amazon be responsible and lock these accounts clearly attempting abuse? Logically either they are compromised or malicious. At least after certain number of failed request. And thus should be treated as such.
FCC fines big three carriers $196M for selling users' real-time location data
Regardless of the legal merits of the Internet Archive's case, and regardless of Hachette Book Group's insistence otherwise, it's clear from Hachette's arguments and public statements that they would be happiest if public libraries altogether didn't exist and fair use was erased from law.

And regardless of what the law is, the Internet Archive an other libraries should be allowed to lend out a digitized copy of a physical book they own while the physical book is not in use (i.e. controlled digital lending). This is especially true for books without an official digital edition. Hachette doesn't want this, because they want to extract as much revenue from libraries as possible through continuing subscription fees for digital catalogs.

Finally, while I agree that the Internet Archive's arguments that the National Emergency Library's unlimited lending should be fair use were always tenuous, I'm still saddened that the arguments failed, and think the precedent their failure sets is much worse for society than the precedent from their success would have been.
Yeah, many people are happy with their IDE not letting them do something incorrectly (if they have extensions X, Y, Z installed), I prefer having something incorrect being impossible to exist.

I think it just doesn't really click for people most of the time. Eg for my mom no amount of showing science pics and explaining the scale of the distances conveyed things, it only really clicked when Jupiter became visible in the night sky as a particularly bright and large point of light which caught her interest, and when we moved to somewhere dark enough that the galactic plane was faintly noticeable.
Everything you allege here is misinformed as to the current state of the lawsuit and stakes.

You demonize Hachette et al (4 major publishers) as seeking to destroy a public good. In fact, they've already settled with the IA, as of last August 2023, in a manner that caps costs to IA at a survivable level and sets clear mutually-acceptable rules for future activity.

You imply IA would dismiss the appeal if the plaintiffs "could drop enforcement of the judgement". In fact, there were never any assessed damages, the parties have already reached a mutually-acceptable settlement per above, and despite that – in fact, as part of the settlement! – the IA has retained the right to appeal regarding the fair-use principles that are important to them.

Per
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachette_v._Internet_Archive#F...

>On August 11, 2023, the parties reached a negotiated judgment. The agreement prescribes a permanent injunction against the Internet Archive preventing it from distributing the plaintiffs' books, except those for which no e-book is currently available,[3] as well as an undisclosed payment to the plaintiffs.[25][26] The agreement also preserves the right for the Internet Archive to appeal the previous ruling.[25][26]

IA's August 2023 statement on how much will continue despite the injunction & settlement limits: https://blog.archive.org/2023/08/17/what-the-hachette-v-inte...

>Because this case was limited to our book lending program, the injunction does not significantly impact our other library services. The Internet Archive may still digitize books for preservation purposes, and may still provide access to our digital collections in a number of ways, including through interlibrary loan and by making accessible formats available to people with qualified print disabilities. We may continue to display “short portions” of books as is consistent with fair use—for example, Wikipedia references (as shown in the image above). The injunction does not affect lending of out-of-print books. And of course, the Internet Archive will still make millions of public domain texts available to the public without restriction.

I’m not sure what the opposite of appeasement is in this context. A great power state invading/annexing/assisting a “separatist group” (whatever you want to call it) does not lead any direct escalation with another great power/superpower in this day and age. In turn I don’t understand how Putin has been getting appeased any more than other great powers.

Galois Knot Theory
At the ill fated Portland TechShop I took woodworking classes from a retired gentleman, who professionally was a pattern maker for molding cast metal parts. This made his approach to woodworking really interesting. He had a huge array of freestanding sander machines, including a disc sander with more than a yard diameter.

For anyone unfamiliar, pattern makers would make wooden model versions of parts that were to be cast in metal. The pattern would be used to make the mold. He could use these various sanding machines to get 1/64" precision for complex geometries. It was fascinating to watch how he approached things, especially in comparison to modern CNC.

His major project outside of teaching the classes? Making patterns for a local steam locomotive restoration project. He had all these wooden versions of various parts of a locomotive sitting around.
