What an all around terrible situation. The US government has had over two decades to come up with general laws to protect personal information and maintain competition by requiring open interoperability - protecting against all attackers foreign and domestic. Instead, they've sat on their hands while the surveillance industry has been allowed to keep festering, becoming ever more entrenched in Americans' day to day lives while being championed as bastions of "growth" and "innovation".

Now that a single foreign company has gained the level of breakout popularity that had already been achieved by 20+ domestic companies, it's time for pearl clutching galore. Every single argument being levied at China and their authoritarianism is a dynamic we've already been suffering from domestic corporations and their authoritarianism. Give me a break!

Instead of hanging their hats on this simplistic election year stunt, the government could still create universal regulations that reign in the surveillance industry and give Americans control of their personal data and digital lives, preserving individual liberty rather than trying to mitigate the downstream effects on the collective. Yet apart from essentially toothless regulations by a few states regarding some very specific types of personal data, still crickets.

So I guess the lawmakers' concerns still aren't really about protecting Americans, but just making sure nominally American surveillance companies at least get paid when Americans get surveilled and propagandized by foreign powers? It seems like no matter which way this case gets decided and which way the precedent gets set, We the People are set to lose.
Why wouldn’t hotels have the right to make sure you’re not running a meth lab in the room?

According to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 447, hotel operators are permitted to inspect rooms to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. These inspections can be carried out to check for potential hazards, ensure cleanliness, or verify compliance with hotel policies.

There are similar laws in all major cities I chose to google - New York, San Francisco, Chicago.

Proof of concept in my workplace works for tech and design. It dies in the c suite who obsess with L&F and their favourite feature. At one remove, showing them prototype as mvp tickles this out but the "cost" in alienating the decision makers may be too high.

Training senior management to look beyond wireframes and lorum ipsum can be hard.

Consider that significant buildings were born from napkin sketches. I consider this problem pretty dire, but there you go.

I'd say a 3rd iteration of an mvp should be good, better at least. Holding them off from looking at it and getting permission to a/b test in public might be hard.
There is a bookshelf called The Harvard Classics.

The collection of literary works, philosophical texts, and scientific writings was initially titled "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf." It was assembled by Charles W. Eliot, who served as Harvard University's president.

Almost all the books can be read for free in Gutenberg.

> An insider observing a simple way for a bad actor to gain access to voting machine hardware is evidence.

Is evidence of what? She abused her elected position to pursue a conspiracy theory and no evidence of that conspiracy was discovered. She, a week after having the cameras monitoring the election office turned off, knowingly allowed an unauthorized person to view election machine credentials. She, a person who was supposed to protect the integrity of the election as part of being a clerk and recorder in her county, betrayed her public office and the people who elected her.

There is no ‘blatant double standard’ here. Instead, you’ve drawn a false analogy to other situations to make this seem like something it wasn’t. Even if we were charitable and said the ends justify the means, there were no justifying ends that came about.
That sounds like sour grapes from a CEO that only and very simply got out-played at a CEO's main job of overall strategy.

I thought the Fusion Drive plume also came up - but perhaps I’m thinking of a different book?

At the accelerations most sci-fi happens at (even fractions of 1G), the energy coming out the business end of any sort of drive based on extrapolations of currently known physics are going to be in the TJ+ range, and often with relativistic particle velocities.

Probably not as focused as a laser type drive, but in a vacuum such a fusion type drive would melt any known materials at multi-km distances and likely cause extreme x-ray emissions from whatever it was vaporizing when it came in contact with it. In atmosphere, it would likely just vaporize the space craft along with anything in a several mile radius.

It’s basically carrying around a directable, continuously exploding hydrogen bomb.
Word-smithing. The Beijing government can tell the TikTok management, "give us all your data" and they will have to do it. That is not true of your other hypothetical companies.

There are very few companies that (1) operate at large scale in the US, and (2) have such an obligation to a hostile government.
Honestly, I'm getting the impression you're too being too rigid with definitions: anchoring too strongly in the incidental specifics of GPL as being "free software" while ignoring its goals.

I found a solution to find the job post date on Indeed using Google Chrome and chatGPT. Note: I am in no way a tech or coding nerd so take this with a grain of salt, but I think I am onto something here:

1) Open Indeed job webpage

2) right click and then select view page source, or Ctrl U will do the same thing in windows

3) Then use the find function, ctrl F to search for "days ago"

4) You're done. You should see a number preceding "days ago" which is how old the job post is.

Here's the explanation from my little conversation with ChatGPT:

"The information you've shared from the source page contains a key detail that can help determine the age of the job posting. Within the data, there's a section that reads:
json
Copy code
"hiringInsightsModel": {
"age": "9 days ago",
...
}
This part of the JSON data indicates that the job was posted 9 days ago from the time you accessed the page. This is the kind of information that can be useful in determining how recent the job posting is.
Remember, this data reflects the status of the job posting at the time you accessed the page and it will change as more time passes. If you're considering applying for this job, knowing that it was posted 9 days ago can help you gauge the urgency and potential competition for the position."

The price is higher for two reasons, I think. One, so they can offer ridiculous incentives and trade-in values and discounts all over the place right away. Sadly, this strategy probably performs better than simply lowering the price without incentives. Two, because Pixel 10 is going to be more expensive (TSMC chip, maybe Qualcomm modem?) and they're trying to move the brand upmarket in preparation.

>I feel that proves the point. When everything is all together for $20 people don't mind.

I think this proves my point, that it's a service problem. Put everything together in a single, easy-to-use service for a low price (like Netflix in 2012), and only the true die-hards will still bother with piracy. Ask them to subscribe to a whole bunch of services (with a high total cost) or try to figure out how to save money by strategically subscribing and unsubscribing to see the stuff they want, and have to deal with shows suddenly disappearing or moving to a competing service when they're half-finished watching them, and many will simply go back to torrenting because it's honestly easier than all that BS. But instead you think people are "lazy"... A lazy person doesn't do torrenting; it's really not that easy.

>Premium cable was way more expensive and restrictive back in the day.

Back then, 1) there weren't many alternatives. At the beginning of cable TV's reign, videotapes weren't even commonly available. And 2) back then, people had more disposable income because the cost-of-living was much, much lower (particularly housing). Technology is much better now too, so people expect to pay less.

>Meanwhile, all that conversation and none of these streaming services are even profitable.

Citation needed. Last I checked, Netflix is doing quite well, and even better after cracking down on the password-sharing.

>It's also why people completely raged when Netflix and GamePass increased prices.

Some people raged, but Netflix's subscriber count has increased and profits are up, so obviously those people either got over it, or were a small minority.

I don't think the Raspberry Pi foundation needs to focus on direct IGBT drive, and there are a lot more tasks in the world than driving BLDC motors.

And yes, there are plenty of highly-specialized microcontrollers that serve a variety of industry niches quite well.

But look at the competitors from ST in RP2354A price bracket of ~$1:

RP2354A, $1 at whatever quantity: Dual 150 MHz CM33, 2MB flash, 520KB SRAM

STM32F103, $0.99 at Qty 1K from LCSC: 72 MHz CM3, 128KB flash, 20KB SRAM.

STM32L431, $0.98 at Qty 1K from LCSC: 80 MHz CM4, 256KB flash, 64KB SRAM.

There are several ST clones from China that are offering a bit more SRAM, a bit higher clock speeds or slightly more flash, like 512KB, but nothing even comes close to the RP2350.

PIO more than makes up for the lack of any digital-specific interface that you think you're missing, not to mention you have an entire extra core just sitting around that you could use to bit-bang whatever crazy interface you decide that you need.

The main area where they are significantly lagging their price-matched competitors is the ADC, and analog in general. I suspect that they are prioritizing limited die area for compute over large analog blocks that are hard to characterize and design on whatever process Sony is giving them.

And if you really need certain specific peripherals (and low-power doesn't matter to you) - capacitive/inductive sensing, DACs, etc., you're almost better off buying a low-spec ultra cheap MCU with the features you need, and then running it as a peripheral to the RP2350. I honestly don't think there's a better price/performance chip out there right now.
That was implied, and I don't see how spelling it out changes anything. The nominally domestic corporations aren't exactly sitting around fretting about how to preserve freedom.

I personally don't mind the candybar-style camera and think it looks kind of cool. It's definitely not something I actively notice or think about while using the device, and I like that when I set the phone down the entire screen is tilted slightly upwards rather than just one corner.

Having said that, if the camera bar is an issue for you, the case wouldn't make a difference one way another. There are cases that are flush with the camera bar to mask the protrusion, but those obviously extend the total thickness to be at least as thick as the section of the device with the camera bar, whereas the aramid cases are more like a few sheets of standard office paper.

The issue is not protection of consumers, worthy as that is as a goal. No one ever said it was. I'd like to see that achieved, too. But your "20+ domestic companies" are not owned by enemy countries.

The issue is surveillance by a hostile nation. It's not a "stupid election year stunt," since we have elections every other year, and that rule would preclude any effort to do anything ever.

> The principle is very clear: officers of the law are given monopoly on the use of force by the state. That state-enforced monopoly on force comes with an enormous amount of responsibility and that responsibility means that breaches of trust should be prosecuted with prejudice.

I don’t disagree with that aspect but also think it doesn’t invalidate what I said. After all, corporations operating the digital public square also have monopolies over a certain kind of power and that power and responsibility is far greater than any individual police officer given their reach.

> but creating a parallel between that and state-ordained police officers wielding guns barging into people's homes to intimidate them into shutting up is either naive, ignorant, or disingenuous.

At the scale these tech companies operate, their influence over our our political process and daily lives is far more dangerous. Freedom of speech and press are part of the first amendment in the US for a reason - a free society depends on that right and any violation of it is bad. In my view the end effect on suppressing journalism and speech is the same, whether it is a censorship friendly tech giant or a police officer breaking the law, and therefore the parallel makes sense.
> tough to say if they are being wholly by a "hostile foreign power"

> The issue is surveillance by a hostile nation

Which even without Tiktok, can be straightforwardly done by China (and every other foreign power) paying the domestic surveillance companies for access and influence in straightforward business relationships. And if that gets clamped down on in another decade, then by paying more for not so straightforward business relationships.
>> Judges are still allowed to defer to experts

> Then why is congress be denied the same latitude (via agencies)?

Come on, that's obviously false. Even in an alternative world where agency rule-making was totally abolished, and everything has to be enacted directly through legislation, Congress could still defer to experts to draft that legislation.

Also the courts themselves are supposed to be the experts at interpreting legislation. In our system of government, it's their job to have the final say about that.

Let me put it another way: do you think it would be a good idea for judges to be required to defer to prosecutors (also in the executive branch) on the interpretation of criminal law? (e.g. "Prosecutor: Your honor, the defendant is guilty because I say the law says he is. Judge: OK, your call. How long should we lock him up for?")
I don't really follow a lot of comments questioning the choice of shape, methodology, exclusion of water in the mantle etc.
