I'm American and I grew up with many perfectly nice people (including family) that have held morally repugnant beliefs. Same for people in many other countries. Only exception are cab drivers - they get talkative quickly with no filter. I think the US is veering in the direction. People are complex. It's only when you get to know them beyond superficial conversations / introductions that this becomes apparent.

>I don't understand why voice calls aren't just a standard and required part of the 4g and 5g specifications??

They are, it's called VoLTE/VoNR. For whatever reason telcos add whitelist schemes to prevent phones from making voice calls, even if they actually support it.

That would certainly be a less clown-world explanation. Thanks for the insight.
Very heartwarming. I have an "android named" video uploaded to YouTube a few years ago, and because there is copyrighted background music going on (which I didn't realize at the time) YouTube is threatening to delete it. I don't know if they will or not, not sure when they put the "will delete" tag on it.

My late wife is in it. She died recently. I didn't know that video was still up there until I read your post. And now my heart breaks.

Visiting my parents and having to watch linear tv made this more apparent than anything. MTV seems to just have a show on repeat for hours called "Ridiculousness". The commercials blare (and were split between political ads and random drugs for obscure conditions) and the 'news' channels have bright colors and everyone yelling at each other.
A related example is image editing software like Adobe Photoshop on the Web. Large images can require more then 4GB in many cases.
Thanks to Enron being stopped from causing artificial blackouts by creating electrical supply constraints through shutting off power plants.

Here's hoping LLMs stick to the naming trend used for telescopes like the ELT:

• Large Telescopes → Large Language Models (LLM): Solid start, foundational capabilities.

• Large Telescope (VLT) → Very Large Language Models (VLLM): Major upgrade in size and skills.

• Giant Telescopes → Giant Language Models (GLM): Multimodal, smarter and more specialized.

• Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) → Extremely Large Language Models (ELLM): Expert-level, cross-domain.

• Overwhelmingly Large Telescope (OWL) → Overwhelmingly Large Language Model (OWLLM): Theoretical AGI, huge power, ethical dilemmas.

> Safari: ?

What an understatement.
I don't buy the raising speed limits thing because the tech is actually much easier to regulate and enforce than human drivers.

I guess the example is Uber/Lyft, but remember that those went to a vote and the vote passed. And if non-AVs are banned from cities, wouldn't our cities be much more bikeable and safe? How many pedestrians are killed again by human drivers?

Trains are not magical, they also suffer from congestion issues, in fact moreso than roadways because they generally cannot pass each other. If a city were pure AVs, you could absolutely have train-size AVs for key arteries/events and still enable much more flexible point-to-point travel.

AVs can and will have pooled ridership in the near future.
Traffic cameras should be used to figure out why people are doing what they're doing at a given intersection. A lot of the time they can be used to figure that out, and eliminate the need for them.

Like I feel like the standard for traffic cameras is they should be temporary installations used in an investigation to figure out why so many people speed or run red lights or something. And yep, they do eventually figure out interesting tricks.

This one's dumb, but an observation I noticed lately is lots of intersections will change to all red and then light the pedestrian walk light before they change the car light to green. Why? Probably to lower the amount of people crossing the street getting hit by someone turning right in their car. Neat trick.

- Australian carriers are blocking 4G phones based on whitelists, citing government mandate/ruling/whatever. Consequently many 4G phones are getting stuck in No Service state.

- Previously, phones that weren't whitelisted could connect to 4G for Internet, and disconnect & fall back to 3G for calls.

- Voice calling on 4G is finicky, and carriers don't like supporting random customer bought contraptions trying to do it.

- (you can whine all day about how calling is the sole defining feature for an object to be a "phone", doesn't change the fact that calling on 4G is a carrier-grade ever-beta duct tape hack).

I still use Firefox, but on macOS it's a second class citizen. There was a HN post months ago about Safari being the new "IE6" (sorry, can't find that one). But when it comes to UI, on macOS, Firefox is the new IE6. And people see the UI, and web devs test against Safari even with its flaws, so they experience is still good.

In general, my UI gripes:

* Bookmarks dialog from the 90s, various usability issues

* History dialog, same

* Lack of Tab Groups, still, and no plugin has given me the experience as Safari

* Profile switcher UI is also terrible

* Still no vertical tabs

* Still nothing like Safari "tab overview"

* Miscellaneous UX fails like not being able to hover over a Tab preview and close it without switching to it (like the 'x' on List All Tabs) or close a tab by hovering over a persistent x without switching to it

* Create bookmark dialog is limited so a small size and can't fit more than a few location folder entries

* macOS : after all these years, still can't full-screen like a normal macOS app (all app bar toolbars / chrome shift when mouse)

I can't remember an interesting UI feature in at least several years.

Well, yes. It was released as a part of JDK 21 a year ago. So far, the adoption has been spotty. They are also implemented not in the best possible way.

> Xmx is mostly a thing if you have very small RAM, or some sort of grievously misconfigured container setup. By default it grow up to 25% of the system RAM, which is a relatively sane default.

Other more sane runtimes (like Go) do not even have developers care about the heap sizing. It just works.

Assembly Optimization Tips by Mark Larson (2004)
You've created a beautiful alternative timeline. One that posits that the Firefox team had the technical chops to compete. Money isn't a panacea: Microsoft clearly threw a lot at the Edge redevelopment and that team apparently failed. Also the Chromium team are 10x superstars in my eyes.

The glimmers of technical hope within Gecko like Servo and Rust were chopped.

> but no, they blew it on obvious boondoggles (like Firefox OS)

I agree they wasted money on a heap of useless things (as we see plenty of failed companies do - like Borland).

But I thought Firefox OS was one of the most promising ideas. I'd still like to see a vendor try and produce a phone that supported browser-tech for Apps - the idea is clearly valuable for Apps delivered using WebViews on iPhone and Android.

Personally I think the rot is throughout the org - and blaming one section is pointless - it weren't just management or tech. Watching previously successful corporations die has a similar feel to me.
Firefox OS is something that should have been developed by an organisation that wasn't beholden to it's main competitor for finances(and still is).

Mozilla should have done everything in its power to gain it's independence(and still should).

I have been a Firefox user since day 1. I rememember, it was Phoenix, then Firebird, and for the last few years, Firefox.

I still use Firefox, which makes me so sad to see how incompetent(or potentially just greedy) the Mozilla leadership is.

Great product, poor stewards.
As I post here on HackerNews (subtitle: News for Nerds. Stuff that- wait, no - nevermind) I'm kinda ashamed that it took me until now to switch to Firefox. I can't count the number of geeks and IT professionals who have told me to use FireFox over the years, and I'd never followed their advice. Chrome was great, until they killed whatever it was that made ad blocking work on YouTube.

But ad-blocking seems to be going strong on Firefox, so maybe that's an option for folks?
It's kinda over. Firefox is a dying browser on desktop, desktop is a shrinking platform, and mobile is app-based, not browser-based. Mozilla almost exists because of the endowment effect. If it didn't exist today, would someone fork Chromium or port Konqueror to Windows?

Mozilla's leadership might have even made the right move by dabbling in other platforms and with other value propositions, but it neglected the browser to the point that it doesn't matter.

And I'm still a Firefox user.

I feel like that might be embedding some questionable assumptions, such as:

1. That CPU computing work completed is directly proportional to joules of heat emitted.

2. That stymied active cooling measures don't themselves generate heat, such as all the fan motors spinning at 100% and the AC/DC conversion to power them.

3. That even if performance was improved by removing thermal-throttling, demand would still push everything to run at full-tilt rather than allowing some machines to idle.

Software Testing and Formal Specifications: a turbulent history [paper] [pdf]
We can further caveat that it wasn't "anywhere that had a 5G service" since the radio altimeter is not needed except on low visibility approaches into an airport.

Either way, it's about interference with aircraft systems from cellular infrastructure/devices. Certainly, if a tower talking on 5G can interfere with a radio altimeter, a bunch of cellphones onboard could do the same thing or even amplify the effect.

> it might become a Federal offence not to have your phone in airplane mode, for example - but obviously it’s not

Violating directions from the flight crew can be a federal offense. There is a chain of authority from the FAA to the airlines and to the PIC. The airline and PIC delegate part of that authority to the rest of the crew. Unless you are very aware of every regulation and particular company policy, I highly recommend that you don't test this.
I suppose at least you get to check off a lot of boxes when another formula passes all test cases :)

That doesn't really surprise me.

Here in San Francisco some of the city transit system's bus tracking equipment that they use for real time arrival predictions was still using 2G when the 2G network shut down in 2017.

Then a different part of it was still using 3G when the 3G network shut down in 2022.

Your link isn't working for me, do you have a doi?
It's been more than a decade since I was involved with emergency services, but ~15 years ago there was a requirement (in Australia and elsewhere) that phones must be able to call emergency services from any available network even if the preferred carrier did not have service in that area. I assume that is still the case.

That requirement forces phones to have some degree of special handling for emergency calls. It may have required (or been interpreted to require) that a phone make emergency calls over 3G if VoLTE was unavailable. I can imagine someone deciding that means "lets just use 3G for all emergency calls" because who ever expected a case where 4G was available and 3G was not.

This is not about exercise. Extended periods of inactivity are bad for your health, even if you are physically active.
