> But immigrating to the US is difficult even if you're from a rich country like one in the EU.

If you are thinking like my Portuguese friend complaining about how "hard" it was because it took six months to immigrate to the US, you have no idea how hard it is for other people to come to the US legally.
The wonders of web development.
> Any connected device NEEDS continual updates in order to continue to be secure.

And I feel that updates are being abused too much by device makers now:

-allows making devices worse, say "optimizing" the UI e.g. to make you spend more time in the parts they (not necessarily the user) want you to see

-allows releasing half-finished games since they can just be updated later anyway

-allows breaking old functionality for whatever reason

-allows the device makers to choose when to do the update rather than the user, say just when you want to start playing a game

It's a shame there's no less invasive way to ensure devices are secure. It sure is convenient for the device makers that the solution to security also gives them continuous control over your device's features and when you can actually use it
Yes! "Part 3: Collision Response" is basically what I'm using as a reference for these articles.
I guess the US has more of a culture of buying new cars but here in Ireland, basically everyone I know has some form of unlimited data and no one has a car from the last two years. Our new car sales are about 120,000/yr compared to a licensed vehicle count of 2,800,000, which implies that most cars get driven for 20 years before being retired, which from the distribution of cars I see on the road seems entirely plausible. Our registration plates have the year of first licensing printed prominently on them, and there are many 2008 cars still on the road.

In short, the top ~10% might have modern cars. The top ~90% have unlimited data or data where the limits will not be reached by playing Spotify. I could see someone going "Hmm, that's 80% of the market we could sell this too".

Best would be DP alt mode. However software to send video over regular USB data lines is fairly common and reportedly works okay so long as you have drivers (which generally are not supported to the next Windows release) and are not trying something too heavy - not good enough for games but often good enough for the office type work the OP is asking for.
That's only optimal if you know you'll need 100% of the heated water (or have a way to store it). While photovoltaics are going to be less efficient than direct water heating, you can direct the energy to other uses if you don't need more hot water.
I consume a lot of Zeihan. He's a dramatic clickbait artist in many respects, but his "takes" are nonetheless often based in a lot of truth, just projected too quickly.

He's been saying China would collapse for quite a while, but only recently have I seen a lot of other geopolitical types go from poo-pooing him to essentially agreeing with him.

He still has a very strongly petrodollar/petroleum dominates the economy/alt energy isn't important, but a lot of that is because the tech churn in batteries/solar panels is so rapid. He doesn't really appreciate what sodium ion will bring to the table for example, he still thinks batteries can't scale because of limited cobalt and nickel, which is a two year old take.

He is still a bit too dramatic on open seas piracy/reduction of the US Navy, but I've seen him reduce that take. Really the open seas and global trade are going to disrupt because between Russia in Ukraine and China doing the Taiwan invasion, there's going to be a LOT of global trade disruption.

At this point I agree with his China take because it has four different fronts which are conspiring. Demographic collapse didn't cause Japan to completely fall apart, but demographic collapse + totalitarian incompetence absolutely can.

I also haven't seen as many rebuke videos of his China take, and the US and its megaconglomerates are definitely shortening their supply chain and re-shoring manufacturing already. The most public one is the fab act (which will also expose Taiwan to a higher risk of invasion).

What is interesting is that the Church never changed or amended its definition of a miracle. Miracles are still medical problems. But today it's hard for me to define something like a pancreas problem as a miracle that can potentially be treated by modern medical profession.

Sheesh - the dude sounds like he's just making up excuses now that he was caught.

> Kramer defended his actions after his role was revealed by an NBC News article. "Kramer claimed he planned the fake robocall from the start as an act of civil disobedience to call attention to the dangers of AI in politics," NBC News wrote in February after talking to Kramer. "He compared himself to American Revolutionary heroes Paul Revere and Thomas Paine. He said more enforcement is necessary to stop people like him from doing what he did."

Translation: "I only did the crime and got a large punishment to show others that the crime is important to stop and deserves a large punishment."

Ideally they should throw the maximum punishment at anyone attempting to interfere with fair elections like this.

'can have' is doing a lot of lifting. If me or you want to make a meme go viral, we likely cant do that, as proven by the overwhelming amount of people who try to make things go viral on a daily basis and fail to do so. Overwhelmingly, most people do not have that power.

It needs to be such a simple, obvious message that resonates with everyone to a point they themselves are encouraged to share it. It needs to pass the over-the-shoulder test, where someone simply glancing over your shoulder and seeing it can understand what it is and get value from it.

The author's intent doesn't matter, really, they don't have control over it at all. It is simply stumbling by accident into a message that /already/ resonates with a vast majority of people. Which is why it tends to be extraordinarily simple things like a 'cute/funny dog', a distracted boyfriend, a pop culture reference, etc.

In principle XSLT can be used to convert between HL7 V2 Messaging, CDA, and FHIR formats. I have actually done this to an extent. But it's a huge mess and difficult to maintain or even understand. Most implementers have now moved on to other technologies for healthcare data mapping and transformation. And format conversions are only one minor piece of the interoperability puzzle.

The standards bodies in the clinical interoperability space aren't accountable to the FDA (although the FDA is a registered organizational member of HL7 and contributes to standards development as a peer to other members). Services like Metriport aren't FDA regulated medical devices. The standards bodies don't inspect implementers.

There are open source libraries for dealing with the data formats used for interactions between providers and health plans (insurers), primarily ASC X12N and NCPDP. The standards documents themselves are somewhat expensive. But Metriport doesn't appear to be playing in that space so it's a moot issue.
Is there a use case for that? I mean other than that it's kinda cool

What the hell are they discontinuing? The hardware won't change. Streaming MP3 shouldn't be rocket science that requires 50 engineers.

Even if the internal API-s change, can't they just create mappings the devices need? They are not even willing to put that effort in.

So sad to see software companies treat hardware as a failed hobby project then flat out say customers to bring their devices to an e-waste dump like they do in their FAQ.

It does feel a bit odd. A better title might be "Work Faster, Not Longer".

"However, the files could have persisted from one device to another when restoring from a backup, performing a device-to-device transfer, or when restoring from an iCloud Backup..."

Very nice that means it is in general possible to recover deleted photos from old devices and backups. I guess that would also work for files.

Hopefully there will be a script written and incoperated into an app to scan, recover and overwrite files.

No root needed, but you first need to grant Tasker the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission, see: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/help/ah_secure_sett...

I granted it via ADB using the command line listed, but the other method with app might work too. If you don't have ADB, It's very easy to install by just downloading the right sdk for your OS, and you run the included ADB binary via command line while your phone is plugged in via USB, and USB debugging is enabled (which is an android developer setting).

Set your Android accessibility color correction type to grayscale if you don't have that already. The below Tasker action simply toggles it off and on.

Tasker config is-

Configure a Shake Left-Right event trigger (I recommend sensitivity 'Very Low' and Duration 'Long' to avoid accidental triggers)

Configure a 3-step action following the trigger:

1. Custom Setting

Type: Secure
Name: accessibility_display_daltonizer_enabled
Value: 0

2. Wait action (I set to 20 sec)

3. Custom Setting

Type: Secure
Name: accessibility_display_daltonizer_enabled
Value: 1

Set the Collision Handling on the task gear/settings to "Abort Existing Task", so that you can extend the color lifetime by shaking the phone again.

Of course, once you have this action in Tasker, you can use any trigger to turn it on or off, like opening a particular app, turning it on when you are only at home or away, etc.

Works pretty well for me, there is one slight issue where some type of android display layout refresh occurs when the color toggle happens, which sometimes refreshes the interface you are on in a slightly annoying way. I tolerate it, it's ok, maybe setting a longer wait period would make this occur less often.

If these steps don't work / too confusing, try using the really great accessibility gesture support setting mentioned in a reply, instead or in addition: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40462366

FYI John Dalton was a scientist who pioneered color blindness research among many other fields, so his name is everywhere in color correction settings apparently.
China “cheats” in the sense that they suppress their currency. In theory the profits from successful exports should go back into the Chinese people’s pockets and China should become much richer than it is. But the CCP cannot abide that scenario, so they sell yuan and buy dollars to keep the price down.

I do not think they can do this forever.
I agree with your "control oil prices" only if it means making sure Iran or some other country does not close the Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers.
Yes, though I'd like to point out that "scale to zero" is a loose definition to mean anything that can be transparently scaled to 0 whenever an app/service is idle, and then wake up when traffic to the service arrives once again.

The problem in practice with Cloud Run (and similar products from other providers) is that it can take seconds or minutes for the platform to detect idleness, during which you're still paying, and then seconds to wake up -- during which users/clients have to wait for a response or possibly leave the service/site.

For my taste, real scale to 0 would be: detection and scale to 0 within < 1 second of a idleness, and wakeup within an RTT, such that the mechanism is transparent to end users.

As a shameless plug, this is what we do at kraft.cloud (based on years or research, LF OSS work, unikernels, a custom controller and overall non-negligible engineering effort).

1) China won't care about the starvation of a half billion people. That's the totalitarian effect.

2) That is suicide for the CCP. They may be crazy authoritarian, but they aren't suicidal.

By the same justification, China won't invade Taiwan because we "have atomic bombs and the ICBMs to deliver them". But it's pretty inevitable they will.

Avoiding war requires both sides to reach some sort of mutual understanding.

When the aggressor stations 200,000 troops at your border -- it isn't about "reaching a mutual understanding". The only "understanding" he is asking for by that point is that you lay back and let him have his way with you.

So Lewis Carroll's method for today (May 24 2024):

The Century-Item:

The year is 2024. The century is 20.

20/4 = 5, with no remainder. Overplus is 0. 3-0 = 3. 3x2 = 6.

The Year-Item:

The year part is 24. Number of dozens: 2

24/12=2. Overplus: 24 mod 12 = 0. Number of 4's in the overplus: 0. 2+0+0 = 2.

The Month-Item: May: 1 (from the text).

The Day-Item: The day is 24.

Adding all items:

6+2+1+24=33. 33 mod 7 = 5, which is Friday.
Love this idea though not sure it's always practical. Sometimes features get so little use or are replaced so soon that the effort to maintain undo would mean fewer are affordable or ever even get to production.

All that said, for mature features, it does seem like a reasonable thing to require. Unless there are huge fundamentals standing in the way. (Like undoing forget-me requests days later.)
>You are saying you can reduce e waste by whole integer percent with a simple bit of legislation?

Well no, because not all e-waste are devices that you can conceivably reflash. For instance a monitor equals at least 10 phones in terms of e-waste volume, but I doubt legislation like this is going to make a dent in monitor e-waste. The proposal only realistically makes a difference for computing devices with short EOL periods and locked bootloaders, so basically phones and tablets.

You used to be able to predict this sort of thing by looking at the cover stories on "pointy-haired boss" magazines at the news stand.

If "CorporateDroid", "Middle Manager Monthly", and their brethren were all running cover stories on (e.g.) Java, you knew that "Java" was the buzzword du jour, and that any resume or sales pitch that included "Java" was gonna get the PHB Seal of Approval. They generally didn't even know what Java was, exactly. They just knew that they needed it.

I'd imagine you could do the same today by looking at PHB-oriented websites. Sadly, that takes more time than just sweeping your eyes across a physical magazine rack.

You could probably automate it, though...hmm..

Not sure I support that broad a statement.

Here in NY, we have had many instances of dangerous building fires, caused by cheap Chinese scooters, which are a favorite transportation mode for folks without means.

A number of these fires caused many families to lose their homes and meager possessions, because one tenant was charging crap batteries.
On the other hand, this kind of teaching was very destructive to me: I was taught it was shameful to be angry, and my main religious experience was with Buddhism, which says anger is always purely bad. Of course everyone has anger, and so did I, but because I was shameful of feeling it I just expressed it back on myself as intense depression and self loathing

There are two sides to every teaching. The Buddhas teaching may be touted as universal by the doctrine of the teaching itself, but for me it was destructive. Though as always I await a chorus of followers to tell me I was “doing it wrong”
