The "classic" Harry Beck London tube map is widely considered by design experts to be a masterpiece of map design, and it appears in design contexts, not just in the context of a map on the tube.

Over time this has caused TfL to attract people interested in designing for users of public transport, and they created a design system that is now licensed, and they do consultancy, so you will see "TfL style" design in other cities. The tube "roundel", map and advertising poster archive is all considered key commercial IP assets.

Many other public transport entities try to mimic TfL as a result, either by licensing directly (Dublin buses do this IIRC), or trying to look a bit similarly abstract and "clean" but with their own vibe. Weirdly this just makes the TfL design system even more recognisable to some people.

Another transport related design system from the UK that's worth looking into if you are interested in such things is the road signage system that was overhauled in the 1960s. It also highly regarded in the international design community: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15990443

> they could tweet-by-neutrino in near real-time

We demonstrated in 2012 a neutrino-based link which “achieved a decoded data rate of 0.1 bits/sec with a bit error rate of 1% over a distance of 1.035 km, including 240 m of earth” [1].

To put that into perspective, a through-the-core beam would reach its antipode about 24 milliseconds before its circumnavigating partner [2].

That's somewhat the nature of sports: the actual results always have some amount of variance. The differences between athletes are often minute enough that with slightly different circumstances the result would have been different. Yet the pressure of a smaller number of contests with outsized prizes does make for dramatic highs when winning for the competitors as well as drama for the spectators.

> the way he publicly disparaged people who were killed by their Tesla using telemetric data that are supposed to be confidential

In the cases I've seen, Tesla pulled data showing that the people "killed by their Tesla" were either not paying attention at all (contrary to Tesla's explicit warnings), or were driving without the automated features enabled after all despite initial media claims to the contrary. Is this what you consider "disparagement" or do you have more egregious examples?

I have been pretty amazed by Tubi, which has gotten very far with little buzz in the media compared to the struggling subscription streamers.

Tubi has a crazy deep catalog including shows like Ranma 1/2, Accel World, My Cat from Hell, Kitchen Nightmares, and The People's Court.

It's like broadcast and the lower tier of cable TV died and went to heaven. On other FAST services like Pluto and Plex you will also find multiple MTV channels that really play music videos and South American soccer.

I'd imagine it puts some pricing discipline on the subscription streamers.

The current ad load is currently pretty light but they have a good chance to improve on the TV commercial model with personalization. They ask for your email address to save your viewing state across devices and after I did that I began to get what seemed like retargeted ads for brands I had engaged with before. (To be fair, after I bought a big bag of cat litter at PetSmart last month I've heard their jingle almost continuously on YouTube... Anything for you!)

It was not. I saw it maybe a decade ago and those are a year old. It was also not a YouTube documentary. I might give that one a watch, though.
>> something as simple and obvious as cut and paste had to be invented.

Which is was. A few hundred years ago. Cut-and-paste began as a manual process. Arranging material for printed often involved very literal cutting and pasting of text and images. Entire trades (typesetters) were dedicated to the task. A more accurate description of Tesler's contribution was that he was the first to implement the concept in the digital realm. The person who "invented" the delete key did not invent the concept of deleting a character.
Who actually needs a map? It seems to me that an app that tells me which route to take is a faster and easier way to navigate the underground.
Redhat might need to rename their orchestration product
The wording of the article suggests that he came up with the term "cut and paste", rather than the concept:

> In 1969 Tesler volunteered to help create a catalog for the Bay Area’s Mid-Peninsula Free University. He and Jim Warren, founder of the West Coast Computer Faire, did the paste-up for that catalog. Around the same time, Tesler saw a demo of a computer command that allowed you to bring back something that you had deleted. The command was called “Escape P Semicolon” (or something similarly arcane). Several years later, when Tesler was at Xerox PARC writing a white paper about the future of computing, he drew on the memory of those two experiences to predict that you would be able to “cut and paste” within computer documents.

This is the thing people forget about maps - any map is a falsehood, because it's not the thing mapped. It has a purpose and will bend various things to best serve that purpose. A subway map is NOT a walking map; it's (usually) a guide to the transit system and how to get from station to station.

I'm not trying to use my own monopolistic definition. I'm using the generally accepted one, which cares about markets and where you can't narrowly define them, but you instead have to look at what services/goods are provided for what purpose. It's like saying that Sony has a monopoly on PS5 games distribution, it wouldn't really fly, though it might if there was a market where PS5 games were 80% of games.

The point I'm making isn't that Apple is doing good here - I absolutely hate it, actually. The point I'm making is that the issue isn't that there's a monopoly, strictly speaking, but that Apple engages in anti-competitive and anti-consumer practices which are harmful even without a monopoly.

How is generally the signal in your region? Because here in Dublin it is generally pretty good, being in 5G most of the time and generally with high speeds. And I think signal is the most important thing in Pixel phones, because of their bad Exynos modem. So if your overall signal is bad I can see the battery draining faster and your experience being much worse than mine.

We're now fairly sure someone does. That's the whole story.

I don't currently self-host Vaultwarden, though I do have quite a few services running on my home server.

I lean on Tailscale to avoid exposing the server to the public internet. That doesn't handle the backup and restore concern, but unless I'm missing something I should be pretty well mitigated on network security issues since I avoided firewall and port configuration all together.
