> Must we justify the right to a speedy trial

Yes.

> by the argument that indefinite detention would unfairly limit our ability to obtain an auto loan?

No. It is justified by arguments like without it the state could delay your trial indefinitely keeping you in legal limbo (and possibly incarcerated) for as long as they want which would effectively negate your right to trial. They exact justifications used vary by country.
Something like you describe really does sound like an ideal terminal stage defense system, with 20 or 35mm autocannon covering longer ranges.

Purely theory crafting, I think the final piece would be small, standalone AESA radar units perhaps the size of a man-carryable generator that can be distributed across a given area and networked to likewise distributed shooters, spreading out the targets, adding redundancy to the system, and reducing the odds of your dugout-with-air-defense-asset getting hit by an anti-radiation munition that homed in on a known emitter.
Some of the largest companies in Europe are co-ops, and they don't require employees to become CEOs overnight. Those companies still have recognizeable structures, just that the profits don't get sucked out at the whim of a small group of 'owners'; the employees have a stake in those profits and some say in how the company (that they maintain, and likely helped to build) is run.

I ended up making an MS account to store the license info but I just use it once per install to log in/activate then create a "real" local account. Hopefully this still works.
"An archive may not be available directly to the public"

Well, then, most files that call themselves archives can't be legal under that definition. Wipe your computer of every archive you've downloaded, that would also include Linux ISO files.
I'm not going to quote a definition to you, the only winning move in that game is not to play, but there are certainly more interpretations of "archive" than just the one. I certainly didn't assume you meant the narrow legal meaning in your original comment, and if you were only willing to entertain a single definition it would have been nice to know that upfront.
> I genuinely believe that the decisions they make are what they believe are in the public good

Time and time again leaked emails show the decisions they make are what they believe are in the interest of money. They have some "do good" ideas, but they don't represent the interests of any public body of people, nor is it their main interest.

If they did, their products would be designed around repairability, for one. And the way they steer general computing into whatever restrictions make them more money (when they could just make general computers like they used to) is definitely not in the interests of the public.

All in all, I don't have a problem with Apple. It's a company, it serves its own investors' needs. It functions very well in the capitalistic system — very successful. But the idea that they, all in all, make decisions for the best of the public is contrived and reaching.
I am still in awe that nobody has told a16z that they are the only ones playing this musical chairs of crypto and everyone has stopped pretending that web3 is the 'next best thing'.

It is not, it is a scam and only filled with non-legitimate speculative use cases, building a 'web3 company' is only contributing to this snake oil grift, web3 companies are built to be shut down in months.

> Also, I’d argue this barely qualifies for the boy scout rule: does migrating the code to a more modern form of itself count as leaving it “neater than it was”?

"Barely" is an understatement. You just shouldn't do this as part of a big version migration. It's noise, and introduces more changes that could cause bugs, and then you end up wondering if the bugs were caused by the big version migration, or by all the little changes that were supposedly cosmetic.

Arguably you shouldn't make those types of changes on their own at all. If you're later refactoring the code for a "real" purpose, or making other type of changes in that area, sure, go ahead, the code that you're working on to their more modern forms. But otherwise they're akin to rewrites: the existing code works, and has been tested and debugged, and changing it just so it "looks more modern" is pointless.
If only government secrets were just their grandma's recipes.

Why do governments are given special treatment when some of their secrets are crimes that are disclosed too late to get anyone involved in a trial, and happened too long ago to do anything about it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...
That the policy or similar existed previously doesn't make what happened to those kids a crisis.

Quite telling you think the government separating children from their families and losing track of a lot of them isn't considered a crisis. I don't care who does it, it's bad policy and losing them is unacceptable.

Also, while "kids in detention facilities" happened in other administrations, the direct tactic of specifically separating families with no intention of later reunification was something unique to the Trump administration. The "kids in cages" during the Obama administration came across the border unaccompanied, the Trump policy was to separate families and then not tell the families where their kids were.

I'm sorry you don't have the humanity enough to see the policy of child separation is wrong. I'm sorry your media brainwashing led you to think the cages built during the Obama administration was used for the exact same policies as the Trump administration, because they weren't.
Yes, and we do hear sometimes of a massive pile of taxes due, coming with the building.
Sure, go for it. Price points won't change, consumers are only willing to pay so much for game systems, so we'll see just how close to the FUD price the market will get. I doubt prices will change much if at all.

Have you written about this anywhere? I can’t decide if it was mindnumbingly boring or the ride of a lifetime (leaning towards the latter).
How consistent are ifixit repair scores? I find it's hard to predict the score. There's a "reviewer effect" common to many tech reviews where scores tend to be relative to whatever previous device was just reviewed.
A government tribunal is probably one of the very few ways to make the experience worse than it already is.
Allowing government bureaucrats to oversee the app store review process seems like quite possibly the only single thing that could make it even slower, more frustrating, and more arbitrary than it is now.
I'm not convinced. One of the biggest factors these kinds of programs ignore is the ability for people to circumvent the rules for free money. It assumes that the right people will be targeted for the help, when in reality it will attract many, many more that will do whatever they can to qualify for the free money.

The program would need a 90% success or it means that the rules are easily breakable, there are no strings attached to the free money, and people will absolutely figure out the loopholes.

This could be a step in the right direction if there is some form of filtering out people who will misuse the money, potentially making their situation worse by buying even more drugs or other bad decisions, and like anything else it will spready by word of mouth and the damage could be much worse than the current problem.
There was an incident a week or two ago, where one chess player demanded brand new computers to be unboxed before the chess match[1] begins. Every day of the match, to unbox new computers, because he didn't want the software to be tinkered with by no one.

So they unbox the computers every day, and they have to wait an hour or more, a team of 10 people, for windows update to finish and start the match. Windows update could not be cancelled by the user anyway.

I thought, if he doesn't trust software from other people, maybe he could carry with him an OS in a flash drive the size of a gum. Also, linux was not traditionally great for games, but a chess game can be supported even on a live boot.

>But it’s none of America's business. I don’t think it actually affects someone in Ohio if the French were speaking Russian tomorrow.

It does affect someone in Ohio if any single government manages to get control the entire European Plain from France to Russia plus the current territory of Russia because a country with those natural resources and that population stands a decent chance of becoming stronger than the US -- maybe not right away, but after a few decades -- so it is good realist politics for the US to try to prevent that from happening. (Americans are significantly more secure than they would be if the US had only the second strongest economy and the second strongest military in the world.)

The reason the US shouldn't spend much money helping Ukraine is that the current Russian government does not want to expand that far (much too risky for its tastes) and that it almost certainly would fail if it tried. (It also should have stayed out of Iraq and Afghanistan.)
You don't have to use it, but iCloud Drive and Sync is a fairly commonly used feature:

> Desktop & Documents Folders: Keep your Desktop & Documents Folder in sync with iCloud and access them from other devices and iCloud.com

But easily has issues reconciling files on different devices, and then, if you turn it off, things get messy and need a lot of moving things around.
> Are you claiming that the government can do no wrong regardless of what laws they pass?

I'm not claiming that, but I agree it is an Uber problem. Uber chose to enter this market knowing the rules in advance. They didn't petition the system to get an exception to operate as they wanted, they just "disrupted" and did what they wanted operating under the ask for forgiveness not permission mindset. If you're not going to play by the rules, you don't get to cry to your mummy about the rules being unfair.
It’s changing the subject in order to narrow the discussion.

Fair for 2nds. yes.
Some instruction booklets are completely BS. I recently tried out a Coleman 8-people tent and the booklet is just a 4-picture page. The official setup video on YouTube is less than 2 minutes...

I mean, it's completely useless for people who has zero experience with camping -- exactly the people who need those instructions and videos and exactly the people who buy these types of tents from Costco.
While I heartily agree with nearly all of the suggestions here - particularly ToC and Code Blocks With Origin (which I really should implement on my own website) - FWIW, I disagree on the need for Progress Bars and Dialogues.

Progress Bars seem like an eyesore to me, a distracting visual feature that's trying to goad me into finishing the article. As other commenters mentioned, the browser already has a scroll bar, which indicates the amount of content I have read. A progress bar just seems unnecessary.

As for dialogues - while they can be cute and interesting if done well, it usually just gets in the way of the content I'm trying to read. The problem that it solves - "ask[ing] questions from a less-experienced point of view" - can often be accomplished with regular prose instead eg. "But you might be asking..."

A feature that I'd like to see in more blogs is a 'Tech Stack' page[0]. I've often stumbled on websites that look very appealing, but have no description of how they were created. This page would describe the technologies and tools you use to write your website. Things like static site generators, CSS, JS framework (if any) could go in here.

I'd also like to add 'Site Maps'[1] to this, which I've implemented as a list of all articles on my website.

i really hope this man will be free. there's still a really bad precedent set that they will imprison you first, make you serve your term, then get your day in court to go free.. its a bit crooked and i really dont like this

part of me thinks this is happening now because the presiding dominant western political establishment is losing power everywhere and they don't want the growing adversarial camp to hold freeing him as a victory while being able to set the precedent of his guilt to someday have in their back pocket the ability to do this again without the perceived unfairness

I mean, $1000 is less than half as much as they need, and if they gave it to 800 or 900 people, that is out of 9,000 homeless.

I think they should try doubling the payments and multiplying the number of recipients by 10.

Probably don't have the money for that though and won't consider it even if they did have it.

That's true and what's more is that's what so fucked up about this discussion.

They would literally rather suffer with the kind of impressive surveillance and advertising that Microsoft heaps on them rather than change themselves and the tools they can/could use for the better.

It's the epitome of learned helplessness.

Yup, I remember that too! Back in the day, about 30 years ago, people actually interact a lot online, even in those guest books, and more sincerely.
Often enough, Apple's and consumers' selfish interests overlap. That's ok, they're not a nonprofit organization, and this type of win-win is a great example of capitalism working out well!

But I'd never mistake that for altruism or "taking decisions in the public good". They're a for-profit corporation, and these sometimes have the unfortunate habit of turning to rent seeking to keep supporting the profits expected of them even in the face of changing market realities. That's why we have regulators.

Orins are fine. If your use-case is robotics and edge compute, your alternative is exclusively worse ARM boards or x86 boards. Strictly speaking, it is the "pizzabox computer" disrupting everyone else's acceleration racket.

And my point isn't that I resent people insulting Nvidia; I think the world would be a better place if CUDA didn't exist. But there literally are not HPC alternatives that exist in the mainstream today. Seriously, what are you suggesting? 20,000w Beowulf clusters that accelerate everything on 10-year-old Xeons? A few thousand Macs running GPU-shader accelerated int8 inference? These solutions just aren't out there, and it's why Nvidia owns the industry right now. The sheer incompetence of every other commercial hardware vendor has cemented their dominance for the foreseeable future. The industry would rather watch each other die fighting Nvidia than work together to stand a solitary chance.
> He's also not a journalist by traditional definitions

The year is 2024 and we've had the internet for a good while now.

I think it's safe to say that "tradition definitions" are long, long dead and we need to get on with what the reality actually is.

Who cares what "journalists" were defined as in 1980.
Hmm, this is the definition — https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/journali...

>I'm not claiming that, but I agree it is an Uber problem. Uber chose to enter this market knowing the rules in advance.

but the law in question (ie. the one mandating minimum pay for workers) were passed in 2023, well after they entered the market? Moreover, despite all the vague gesturing that they broke some sort of existing law, I'm not aware of any successful lawsuits against them[1]. At best you could argue that the broke the spirit of the regulations.

[1] from wikipedia: Taxi companies sued Uber in numerous American cities, alleging that Uber's policy of violating taxi regulations was a form of unfair competition or a violation of antitrust law.[80] Although some courts did find that Uber intentionally violated the taxi rules, Uber prevailed in every case, including the only case to proceed to trial.[81]
It's more than just your ear. The way we use language to describe individuals versus groups highlights a divide between personal responsibilities and collective rights. All too often individuals use the group as a means to avoid personal responsibility.
You don’t have to pay Apple a penny to run a website. I’m talking plain HTML5 / JavaScript and a URL.

Perhaps you’re assuming I mean a PWA, Apple sign-in, or Apple Pay? I believe those are non-standard integrations with the OS provided by Apple, for the convenience of developers.

It would be great if everything was standardized from the start, but standardization can also hinder technological progress and creativity. It’s a trade-off.

Perhaps I’m in the minority here, but I don’t bemoan paying for development tools. I pay about $60/year for a JetBrains IDE because it makes my life easier and that’s how I make money. Devs pay for APIs and SaaS to make their lives easier too.
