I would be more tempted to explain this by saying that apartment managers don't care or think about this sort of thing.

Ask the same question to a realtor and they'll know exactly why you're asking.
Funny you say that, because ARM is actually suing Qualcomm specifically over this issue.

The Nuvia designs Qualcomm bought were made under an ARM architectural license that specifically restricts all designs sold to only go in servers - not phones, laptops, or anything else. They also weren't allowed to sell the company without destroying the designs first, because Nuvia got a really sweet deal on the architectural license. Qualcomm thinks that doesn't matter, because they have a (much broader) ARM architectural license already - you can't force someone to buy the same license twice, under the principle of rights exhaustion.

ARM furthermore has an incentive to keep architectural licensees from competing with ARM's in-house design licensing business. Apple Silicon isn't a threat to that business because Apple will never sell their own components to third-parties. In fact, that's why they hate right-to-repair so much[0]. They're better off licensing ARM patents and having Apple continue to work on LLVM than trying to squeeze them for more money. Qualcomm on the other hand sells phone chips to other companies, and currently spends a lot of money to package ARM's licensed designs into their own SoCs. Nuvia designs going into those phones would be a significant movement of money from ARM's pocket to Qualcomm's.

[0] To be specific, in a right-to-repair world where individual components have to be sold at the same pricing arrangements available to the OEM, Apple would not be able to have exclusive parts in their phones that other vendors can't have. Apple can't say this, because it's hilariously self-serving and the general public correctly doesn't give a flying fuck about IP law, but you can infer it from conduct.

Apple is perfectly willing to sell you assemblies, of course. Because no vendor is going to buy 100 unrelated parts to get the 1 they care about.
> Then they have to withdraw from one of those countries.

This is equivalent to saying that no company can have operations is more than one country. Countries have so many laws that there will be a conflict between them somewhere.

The obvious and longstanding solution is for the company to set up a foreign subsidiary and then the subsidiary in that country complies with that country's laws. But that's not the same thing as expecting the subsidiaries in other countries to comply with the laws of a country they're not in.
And your response is code for "I'm unfamiliar with the concept of oligopolies, and believe that every consumption choice should be based on logic alone." Come on.

The devil is in the Details. Usually a licence is applied to a single library or compilation unit.

> I'm not sure where computing would be today if all software was marketing-driven

Basically just look at the 80s and early 90s. Video games, C compilers, NAS software, operating systems and hardware sales were all almost entirely marketing driven. Before any serious Open Source revolution, you paid for almost any code that was perceived to have value. Functionality built-in was not something people took for granted.

Open Source won not because you can't market it (in fact, you can - it's just that nobody is paid to do it), but because it's free. The ultimate victory Linux wielded over it's contemporaries was that you could host a web server without paying out the ass to do it. It turned out to be so competitive that it pretty much decimated the market for commercial OSes with word-of-mouth alone. It's less about their neglect of marketing tactics and more a reflection of the resentment for the paid solutions at the time.
There's a lot of emotional weight behind every PR I do on Github. They're generally the result of dozens of hours of work, discussion with project developers, etc. After all that, it could still be rejected, or need to be reworked, and discussion tone might not carry well over text, etc.

When I see Twitter-style drama on Github, it makes me sick to my stomach thinking that one day I could be the target of an impromptu dogpile.
Strongly agree... then how can we demonstrate what you’ve mentioned in an overhyped AI market?
There's a lot of room for nuance. If you "just read the fucking file" but the file isn't a "real" configuration file then isn't it just a "mock?" If you replace all network calls with an interceptor that forwards all calls and responses, and just check what's happening as a "listener," aren't you mocking out the network calls to a non-real implementation?

At the end of the day, tests are necessarily a mock-up of what's real. You just happen to disagree with where some people put the abstraction layer. I also would like to make my tests more "real" but I have a lot of sympathy for folks that are trying to test something smaller without involving eg a file. After all, the whole point of "everything is a file" in Unix is that we shouldn't need to worry about this detail, it's an OS concern. If you write to a file that's not actually a file on disk but actually a device, that it should fundamentally be okay and work as expected.
Which seems fair enough. There’s already a year difference between the youngest and oldest student in any given class; if you want your children to do well, make sure they’re among the oldest.

The problem is it might come too late to change their self-perception. A year is a lot of time when you’re nine
^ all of this is completely correct. I'll also add that many virtual credit cards that have "limits" or that let you "turn them off" work by not allowing transactions to auth, but merchants can almost always force an authorization that cannot be blocked. If you don't want to pay someone for a service you signed up for, you really do have to cancel your agreement with them, you can't just stop paying them.

I'm very excited about the new click-to-cancel rule for this reason — hopefully doing the "right" thing will be really easy and actually work.
Kind of conveniently cut off the first part of the statement there. The basis of fundamental valuation, discounted cash flow analysis, looks at all cash flows, forever, into the far future until the company dies. For a sufficiently mature company, current earnings are reasonably considered a good approximation of future earnings. For a newer company that is growing rapidly and spending most of its cash on long term investments rather than current year operations, it is not. Otherwise, every new company that has no earnings yet would be worthless, or if you consider losing money to be negative earnings, you're saying they should be paying you to own them.
For once the date of the article is rather relevant. But even then the simpler mechanisms are useful to be aware of if financial planning is a concern for you. And the most complex mechanisms completely irrelevant to the common mortal.
You do not pay property taxes to the IRS, or report the value of your property to them unless you sell it. Federal property tax is unconstitutional. It took an amendment for the feds to be able to do income tax, which has been broadly interpreted to include things like capital gains and income taxes.

There is one more case when I'd argue that AV software are useful: for money-less kids (and adults) who want to play PC games. Just because you have no money to buy a game, it doesn't mean that you can't play it. But frequently free games come with unwanted extras - and that's when an AV is not useless, in the optimal case.
I’ll put this out there, currently there’s no better platform than macOS on apple silicon for developing ai systems.

I’m not a stranger to Linux or the command line. I own, use, configure servers as part of my business, including the dreaded on metal cuda install. In fact, the terminal integration in macOS is one of the biggest things over windows for me.

But, every time I try linux desktop, for the past 20 years, it’s been a horrible time sink and has driven home the point that building a competent and most importantly consistent gui based os is harder than everyone gives it credit for.

I stopped using Linux mint after installing it on my desktop and having the screen saver require a hard reboot -sometimes- when trying to wake.
If you kept reading to understand the context of that image, you'd realize that it could be any size, but that you need to enable "partial virtual environment." That was the entire point of that chapter/image, to showcase the three different modes (full virtual, partial, and full pass-through with collision).

I'm no fan of the AVP, but it is inane to post a comment on a picture from the article without taking the time to read the text surrounding it to understand the context. The blog went to great pains to set out the pros/cons, limits/advantages, just to have people half-read it or just look at the pictures...
My place has full floor to ceiling windows.

I invested in automatic roller shades. It was expensive but worth it.

It's amazing and way better than traditional windows. Winter isn't anywhere near as depressing anymore. I can control the amount of light that comes in far more than someone with normal size windows.

Since the windows are new glass with multiple panes I notice very little difference in insulation performance.

I think it's more a matter of companies just having different focuses. If you're wondering how to grow your userbase, you're thinking fundamentally differently than if you have an established one and are wondering how to monetize them.
There are no big pushes into nuclear power. These are all tiny deployments that may never even happen.

And those dumb turbines and solar panels produce power at a fraction of the cost of nuclear. And every year they get cheaper and more efficient. Which is why the market has continually decided over and over again to go in this direction.
> Relatedly: What's the threshold for you for body count before someone loses credibility? 5? 10? 100? 1000?

I don't think any of those necessarily makes someone lose credibility for their writings.
Yeah, as a first-gen Quest owner I got no idea what they're going on about. My favorite feature is how light it feels with the battery included - I can use it comfortably with no wires for 2-3 hours, then take it off and let it recharge. If I need more runtime, I plug it in.

If Meta made new versions of the Quest without the battery built in I think I'd actively avoid it.
The article says it is like a gap year, but during secondary school.

Clearly not the same as taking time off before university when you are already an adult though. Participation in some activities is required, so it's a bit more structured - and I don't think you can take off on your own to travel the world!
Leon Panetta, the former head of the CIA, said that the indiscriminate nature of these attacks makes him consider these attacks to be a form of terrorism:

https://thehill.com/policy/international/4893900-leon-panett...

Volker Türk, the UN commission for human rights "explained that international law prohibits the use of booby-trapped items used in daily life, and 'it is a war crime to commit violence intended to spread terror among civilians.'"

Also covered by Human Rights Watch here criticizing the indiscriminate nature of the attacks means they were against IHL:

I just... how did that culture coexist with the buttoned-down ex-defense and law enforcement types?
Credibility for what?
The big difference here is that this was created by an act of Congress, not the result of a regulatory body straining at the limits of its remit. That makes it much more likely to survive administration changes or court challenges.

Even now the CAN-SPAM act feels outdated -- I do like the unsubscribe button, but I would like to see email verification made explicitly required. That in order to start emailing you, you need to send an initial engagement email saying that the organization wants to start emailing you, and requiring you to actively opt-in to emails rather than just start sending them.

This would both cut down on marketing spam as well as mistaken email addresses. Most reputable websites do email verification where you have to enter a code or click on a link, but I have a surprising number of emails that get sent to me even though I am not the person the emails were aimed at.
At the same time, I feel you are being dismissive of the beauty around us every day. I used to bus the same route every day for months; and every day I would look out my window and just take it in. People watching, seeing buildings grow under construction, the changing of the trees. The sunset is always beautiful, imo.

My choice is also bad. Zero of them are good. All constantly have stupid quality problems or fail to operate as well as they should.

It’s a choice between hamburgers that are 30-50% shit, and one that’s 10% shit. Every single one has way too much shit in it. All of them deserve loud, angry complaints about the amount of shit they contain. But if I must eat a hamburger…
Sort of. Headsets have limited FOV per eye. You can blow up the screen to be huge, but you'd only be able to see part of it at a time. But yeah, 110 degrees FOV can accommodate a very big screen.

yeah, they seem to be planning on using them like gas peaker plants (because they have little gas). For backup and filling in load gaps. If their renewables keep growing like they are today, the coal peakers will barely ever be used. They wouldn't make sense economically in the west, but they dont have to in china - the single state apparatus can socialize the cost without consequences. A dictatorship fears disruption, so they build them as a backup.
A timeshare is purchasing fractional ownership. That's different than purchasing a service.

Because you and I both know Apple will never be price-competitive with the commodity segment. They are a luxury brand that relies on luxury margins, so I want to know why their business model will succeed.

If plane seating is anything to go by, most people don't want a luxury experience but a practical and cheap one instead. Most seats aren't reserved for premium passengers because they are a minority, maybe a profitable audience but not at all the primary one.
In Ireland -- with one kid in Junior Cert and one who did Junior Cert, then had an external Transition Year, then self studied for A levels, and one who's done home school/self study through GCSE and now doing A levels.

It's an optional, definitely not universal thing. Not all schools offer it, and even then I get the impression that it's well less than half the students take the opportunity. The implementation is also highly school dependent, which is either totally expected or a complete surprise, given that the rest of the curriculum and tests are all national level standards.

This article paints a far rosier picture than I've really seen from the local experiences, but that's probably as much the lack of drive at the school than anything else.

My eldest's TY experience with us was great -- we took the opportunity to AirB&B around Europe, at least till Covid hit. But we were totally comfortable with dealing with the home schooling part of that for the three of them.
No, it's just the trading multiples derived from them that are totally wrong for the purposes of valuing the company today, because the Ks and Qs pertain to the past, which we cannot visit.
I agree for the most part, but I've still had lots of problems with them. I've found unsubscribe links that go to domains that don't resolve, or to pages that 500 or 404. I've hit unsubscribe pages where tapping the unsubscribe button doesn't actually do anything. I run into one of these once every few weeks or so.

Despite the requirement for a link in the email, of course they're going to put it at the bottom, using a smaller font, often with a font color that's closer to the background color. This is garbage. Instead we should have a standard for an email header that specifies how to unsubscribe, so that email clients can present their own unsubscribe button in a conspicuous place, and then unsubscribe the recipient without any extra interaction required. And if these links fail to work too many times, the email provider can use this as a signal to stop accepting mail from that sender entirely. (And we do have this standard header! It's called List-Unsubscribe-Post.)

But this still doesn't really go far enough. I want a full ban on sending me unsolicited marketing emails. Signing up for an account somewhere should not mean they're allowed to send me marketing emails, and any checkboxes authorizing that along the way should be initially unchecked. And they shouldn't be able to dark-pattern me into checking them by making it look like a required consent type checkbox.

Absent that, any entity that wants to market to me should have to send me an initial email confirming that I indeed want to receive their marketing emails. If I do not reply, that's considered lack of consent, and then they should not be able to try again, at all, forever.

I've literally never run into the problems you are describing. It might be true (it seems implausible but I don't know), but it is not a significant factor in day to day ergonomics.

Text crispness, page turning speed, battery life, physical dimensions are all much bigger factors in an ereader IMO.
Those are good points. If FF can diversify the sovereign funds its tied to then it can cancel out some of the problems.

I knew where you were coming from re: fully free software. My concern was more how its sovereign donors could influence that.

I didn't know about Naenara. Checking it out.

And yeah I agree about gov't support for journalism, but in the case of NPR (I work for one of their member stations), when large entities like X decide to label them "Government Sponsored" or whatever it indicates that there are some who see a conflict of interest. That could carry over to browsers.
It may be different now, but Planet Fitness used to ONLY allow you to set up ACH payments (e.g. bank routing and account number) and then only allow you to cancel in person. You can't dispute because it's ACH.
They didn’t “tune each other out” nor did they tune out the world entirely. Any of them could have resumed the conversation if they wanted to. Heck, I could have easily started up a conversation with them if I felt like it. That’s not tuning out, it’s simply not interacting.

Have you never sat in someone’s company, be it a pet or another person, each doing your own thing yet the presence of another made it more pleasant? That doesn’t mean tuning out the other person, quite the contrary.
I was going to say the same. Incredible to see how quickly Mistral went from “magnet links casually dropped on twitter by their CTO” to “PR blog post without the model weights” in just a year.

Not a good sign at all as it means their investors are already getting nervous.
Hey I agree 100%. We live in a time and place where we could put about 10-Refridgerators-worth of computer and storage into the basement of every library in the world, and fill those drives with every book, painting, movie, song, etc... EVRYTHING all in one place, replicated around the world a million times over..

We could do this. The technology exists. But we, as humans, as a society and as a race of beings, have collectively decided that we will not do this: It doesn't make anyone any money.

For the first time in history, we could store all of human knowledge in a safe replicable way, world wide, for everyone. But we specifically choose not to do this.

Hold on a second. That's not the second half of what they quoted. It is in a separate section. I'm having trouble figuring out what it actually applies to, because Article 7 is written in a very confusing fashion.

It has 3 sections. Section 1 looks like this:

> 1. Without prejudice to the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict relating to treachery and perfidy, it is prohibited in all circumstances to use booby-traps and other devices which are in any way attached to or associated with:

and then lists 10 categories that include a wide variety of things, such as internationally recognized protective signs, dead people, children's toys, kitchen utensils (not in military locations), animals, and several others.

Then there is section 2, which the person above quoted:

> 2. It is prohibited to use booby-traps or other devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects which are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material.

That is the entirety of section 2. Finally there is section 3, which I'm going to quote in full:

> 3. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 3, it is prohibited to use weapons to which this Article applies in any city, town, village or other area containing a similar concentration of civilians in which combat between ground forces is not taking place or does not appear to be imminent, unless either:

> (a) they are placed on or in the close vicinity of a military objective; or

> (b) measures are taken to protect civilians from their effects, for example, the posting of warning sentries, the issuing of warnings or the provision of fences.

So..., #1 and #2 both prohibit a bunch of booby traps. Then #3 says that it is prohibited to use weapons covered by this Article (so everything in #1 and #2?) in places with a lot of civilians unless certain precautions are taken.

If this means that the #2 items can be used in civilian areas if those precautions are taken, does it mean the same for the #1 items? With #3 being a separate section I'm not seeing how it can be limited to just modifying #2. It does say "weapons to which this Article applies".

That would result in some truly weird restrictions. It would mean for example that I cannot booby trap a corpse except in the case where I'm placing it in a place with civilians and have either placed it close to a military objective or taken measures to keep civilians from tripping it. If I wanted to place that booby trap in some remote area where only military is around I'd run afoul of #1 without the #3 exception to allow it.

It would make sense if it is an additive thing. If I say booby trap a corpse I might be charged with a violation of #1. If I do that in a civilian area I might additionally be charged with a violation of #3 unless I took the precautions listed in #3.
