This seems reasonable to me. Plenty of malicious apps on the play store too

Even things that aren't directly malware can be malicious if installed unknowingly on someone else's phone, ex - child-lock/tracking/recording apps. It also would allow parents to pass a phone to kids and not have them add junk.

Would love to just have all app installs require auth.

> Well, not really. The physical justification is, the multitude of observations that appear consistent with the theory that there is some form of matter out in space that does not interact with photons. It's not something someone just had a dream about one night - it's a real-world observation, with telescopes.

This is it. Everything points towards it being some kind of invisible matter. Scientists know that the very idea is preposterous!

But you can't make up some 'cleaner' hypothesis without also holding that idea up to the same standards as Cold Dark Matter, and to date they have tended not to.

Ideas do matter, but they're also a dime a dozen. Also, a mediocre idea executed well is far better than a fantastic idea executed poorly.
For most companies, the unstructured 'data' is barely information, let alone data, let alone valuable.

Most companies have internal training videos, recordings of meetings, PDFs of policies, and basically all of these are worthless within a year from a business perspective. Some things are useful for longer, or for reasons of historical interest, but the half life is short. The real thing that contains value is what those could potentially represent, like decisions or events that would benefit from action. If a meeting has a decision that some executive would want to know about, maybe a summary of the transcript could be useful?

Turning the random memorandum generated as part of business into valuable insights without process re-design is a pipe dream in most scenarios. Not all though.

Proposing new competing hypothesis is the very nature of scientific progress.

Dark matter and cords theory are still imperfect working draft compared to other paradigms.

Unless you can link to a systematic study proving the CCC+TL is flawed there is no guarantee you are on the good side of scientific progress. Flat earthers where once convinced they were not on the side of crackpotery.

I've always found "Dark Matter" explanations unsatisfying. No-matter how deep you dig you always end up at a point where dark matter is nothing more than a contrivance.

it's the other way round for me - if there's nothing stuck in my gums, flossing feels no more painful than washing my hands. whenever it hurts, it's because there's something stuck in the gum causing an inflammation. once I manage to clean it, either with the floss stick or a small metal brush, the next time I floss it doesn't hurt in the slightest.

All true. But that's the Great War, not the World War.

Also worth noting that it had been eleven years between the Wright brothers' first flight, and the outbreak of the Great War. By the time WWII was on the horizon, US aviation was a force to be reckoned with. By the end of WWII, it was about the size of all European aviation industry combined, but certainly not before.

To address the sibling comment as well, yes that's accurate as I understand history. The big benefit of the prewar orders was that it gave the US a head start on ramping up for war production, which was nonetheless a basket case for the first year or so after the US entered the war, just before 1942. Without that head start the entire timeline for winning the war would have been pushed back, I don't think it could have changed the outcome but the additional suffering would have been immense.
Worth mentioning here that the SpaceX Falcon is the world's most reliable rocket, with a full success rate of 99.24% out of 394 total launches, 325 successful launches of the current version, and 98.5% successful booster landings of the current version, something no other orbital launch system even attempts.

Yup, shades rotation is on the roadmap: https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/30. Hope to get it done some time today/tomorrow. Most pieces are ready, just need to figure out a good UX for the rotate handle. Worst case scenario, it can be also an input field.
Background photo rotation - could you share what would be the use case? The output would be a bit weird, since it has to be square, so either it needs to be cropped (so now there needs to be crop feature ;)) or there will be blank spaces. Honest question, I might be missing some interesting use case! But hopefully, rotating the shades would solve for most of these.

OPs article heavily covers Vertex Amplification. I didn't realize VisionOS used Vertex Amplification for this, but it makes sense since the hardware supports it.

For those interested in Mesh Shading (a few good videos released this week [1][2][3]), Vertex Amplification is a key tech for Mesh Shading, where one writes Object/Mesh functions (names in Metal API, called Task/Mesh/Amplification shaders in other APIs). Introduced by Nvidia in 2018 and only really available en masse for the last couple years, Vertex Amplification was the first time a GPU could create vertices (or "destroy" them by not emitting anything), versus the fixed mesh inputs. It's so cool and powerful and a different way of thinking about the pipeline.

This article shows the same concept, but in Vertex Shaders for multiple render targets. While you might not make a Vision app, it could be worthwhile read to further understand this architecture. I've spent a few months in Metal Mesh Shading and hadn't realized this application of it at all.

I hadn't thought of it that way. My personal explanation for the Fermi Paradox is that it's darn-tootin' hard overcoming our economic and political systems' unsustainability: once a certain amount of hurt and/or distrust is exchanged, people are almost irreversibly coaxed on hate spirals.

We're not smart enough — collectively — to recognize we need to work on our feelings... even if our collective existence depended on it.

> Why does this question always come up?

Because that's the only question that matters. I have just a few apps installed, some of them are easily replaced, like TOTP apps, others are impossible to replace and without them I might as well get a feature phone.

I'm down to one app that I really do need, MobilePay, but it's a payment app, heavily controlled by the banks. That is not going to be installable on CalyxOS or anything without either Apples AppStore or the Google Play Store.

Phones doesn't matter, they are mostly the same, the operating systems are interesting, but without a widely supported app store, it does not matter, the phone will be useless for the majority of people. More and more people are using their phone as their only computing device, they need to have access to banking apps, mobile payment solution and government application, none of those are not going to exist on some random Linux phone.

These seem in disagreement to me. The vast majority of videos on the web are simple video elements going to static video files. It is not usual for each frame to pass through JavaScript before being displayed.
Ozempic seems to have a large number of positive effects for virtually everyone. It's a little premature to think everyone will be on it "soon" and there are plenty of people who won't take something even if it's universally beneficial.

> The cargo capacity of the airship shown appears to be four 20-foot containers, or 4 TEU.

Either that's a smaller airship than his articles describe, or it's just artist's discretion. They always talk about 500 ton cargo ships - as in "delivering 500 tons of cargo", not "500 ton total mass". And 500 tons of cargo are at minimum 25 TEU.

If they are competing with 747 freighters, those containers will almost always be "cubed out" (the container volume is full long before reaching its maximum legal weight), meaning the airship would load several times as many containers.

This is another advantage they have against air freight. Those 747s are frequently cubed out themselves, flying lighter than they would like. And you can't easily build much more volume into jet aircraft (well, you can, that's what the Airbus Beluga XL is, and apparently several air freight companies are pestering Airbus to re-open a production line for those). Airships, on the other hand, will be practicably impossible to cube out.

I've personally been on the receiving end of "the data we collected shows...x" (in a non-medical setting), but when I asked to have a look at it, it turned out that while this was true for a large part of the population sampled, there was a material difference between that population and a smaller population that can be clearly identified and for the latter, the data showed the exact opposite conclusion.

You might be going at it too hard. Please see a dentist or get a second opinion from another dentist.

According to my dentist, you can damage your gums by brushing them too hard. I don't floss so he didn't address that, but in both methods, force is being applied to delicate tissue.

The point of brushing and flossing is to remove food particles. You don't have to abuse your teeth or gums to do that.

If you change the input text to something well-formed, the graph seems to update immediately. But if you change it to something ill-formed, the graph doesn't update immediately — and then if you click "Generate" manually, it blanks the input box. Either this is a bug, or the "Generate" button doesn't do what I think it does (i.e. generate output). Again, adding a noun to the verb might help. Or just adding some usage information somewhere on the page.
