The Supreme Court resolutely batted that down 9-0 in a few days.

>> The [District Court] order properly requires the Government to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador. The intended scope of the term “effectuate” in the District Court’s order is, however, unclear, and may exceed the District Court’s authority. The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs. For its part, the Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a949_lkhn.pdf

The only question at this point is how detailed in demands the District Court can be.

The administration attempted to push the boundaries of executive power and lost in court, as has been happening.

Turns out, conservative justices with lifetime appointments aren't too legally thrilled about an unbridled executive either.

I promise it is NOT always a good idea to follow the enthusiasts, because they are not at all like everyone else who uses your thing. Following them will skew your decisions—unless they are your entire customer base, so, have at it.

This article imo is complaining about the effect of middle management product owners at large companies. There are two dynamics that both converge on enshittification:

1. These product managers (or product designers) are early in their careers and want to make a splash. They are given lower priority projects but try to break out by making them bigger, better, more non-horse-like. They over-design and over-complicate the solutions as a result, because they don’t yet know when the right solution is just a refinement of what’s tried and true. They are incentivized to do this because they want to break out of the mold.

2. The managers above them, or a layer or two above depending on company size, are risk AVERSE. They are tasked with delivering results regularly and consistently. If you have the innovation bug or are creative at this layer, you get moved onto projects where this is required, which is not most of them. Overcomplicated is fine sometimes with you but WEIRD is absolutely not okay (the stuff that actually could be innovative), and no one gets fired for following The Metrics.

These two incentives clash to create overcomplicated but functionally poor products that aren’t helping anybody out. A healthy skepticism of complication and a healthy skepticism of engagement as the sole metric (or metrics in general) is necessary to make good shit. Sometimes it is actually understanding and using things as an enthusiast would, but you need to bring in an understanding of how the rest of your users are distinctly different from the enthusiasts, too. Using your thing yourself and actually following your own subtler feelings is what produces really useful innovation, slowly and surely over time.

For those who don't, reading "Competing Against Luck" by Clayton Christensen will dramatically improve your ability to create successful products/services.
But, you can learn a lot doing dumb stuff. I learnt a lot about compression.

If you go to google chrome and throttle the site to 3G it will still run fine.

Rendering on the server like this will be faster for low end devices than rendering on the client (as the client doesn't have to run or simulate the game). It just gets raw HTML it has to render.

Effectively, the bulk of the work on the client will be done by the browser native rendering code and native compression code.

The other thing that might not be obvious. Is #brotli compression is not set to 11, it's set to 5 so similar CPU cost to gzip. But, the compression advantage comes from compressing the SSE stream. Tuning the shared window size cost memory on client and server but gives you a compression ratio of 150-250:1 (vs 30:1), at the cost of 263kb on both server on client (for context gzip has a fixed window of 32kb). This not only saves bandwidth and make the game run smoothly on 3G it also massively reduces CPU cost on both client and server. So it can run on lower end devices than a client heavy browser app.

So server driven web apps are better for low end devices. The same way you can watch YouTube on a low end phone but not play some games.

I've seen a few news articles on arrests and the headlines are attention grabbing "Ivy League Student arrested for protesting" and it's worrisome to see.

However then buried in the article is something like they overstayed their visa, etc. Take a sibling comment's link to an article with a "second student arrested" in the title. As in that seems like there isn't a "large number". This is nothing like the reports of arrests in Russia. Especially as some of these pro-Palestinian protestors advocate violence or intifada pretty freely. I've seen that with my own eyes.

If I were a foreign national protesting and advocating for violence against any other country or people group I'd expect to be denied a visa or possibly deported for participating in such events. It'd be arrogant not to expect that outcome IMHO.

Visa applications in European Union countries often include things such as "indicators of good civil behavior". Take the quotes from that sibling comment's linked BBC article:

> The DHS statement says that Ms Kordia had overstayed her student visa, which had been terminated in 2022 "for lack of attendance". It did not say whether she had been attending Columbia or another institution.
> She had previously been arrested in April 2024 for taking part in protests at Columbia University, according to DHS.
> "It is a privilege to be granted a visa to live and study in the United States of America," said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in a statement.
> "When you advocate for violence and terrorism that privilege should be revoked, and you should not be in this country."

Checks and balances are a crucial feature of American democracy.

It's possible that the inkjet printed transistor is both replicable and impractical for building a full microprocessor.

The inkjet transistor article says "A total of 216 devices were tested with a yield of greater than 95%, thus demonstrating the true scalability of the process for achieving integrated systems." But 95% yield on the transistor level implies vanishingly low yield at the device level when you need thousands of transistors to build a full microprocessor.

Even the new MoS2 microprocessor discussed in the Ars article wasn't fabricated all at once. It was built up from sub-components like shift registers containing fewer transistors, then those components were combined to make a full microprocessor. See for example "Supplementary Fig. 7 | Yield analysis of wafer-level 8-bit registers." in the supplementary information:

https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs415...

The yield of 8-bit registers, each consisting of 144 transistors, can reach
71% on the wafer.
The only good thing about this is that it will be reversed by the next administration. Of course, that's only if we have another election...

I omitted it because I thought it was so glaringly obvious that it didn't need explaining: a factory owner doesn't care what the global or local demand for a product is, but at the demand for his factory's output. Which can increase, despite the consumer demand staying the same, if the competitiveness of other factories diminishes, like from tariffs.

Absolutely not.

There's an interesting thought - in addition to aiming for 99% of all packages, perhaps it would be a good idea to target 100% of the packages that, say, land in the official install media?

> Even the most non-technical people can tell a designer

The vast majority of people who want to make a site don't have a designer, and if they could get one the comparison is something that's near instant and costs pennies.

Perhaps ignoring the "what makes it good in the eyes of the customer", although I'd argue that point for many things, these systems often can surf the web, can locate sites, can take images as input and already know many major themes and major sites.

In entire fairness, I was distracted by you having said he and his contemporaries must all have been autistic, as if either you yourself were remotely competent to embark upon any such determination, or as though it would in some way indict their work if they were.

I'm sure you would never in a million years dare utter "the R-slur" in public, though I would guess that in private the violation of taboo is thrilling. That's fine as far as it goes, but you really should not expect to get away with pretending you can just say "autistic" to mean the same thing and have no one notice, you blatantly obvious bigot.

> why is compound interest divided linearly even though the growth is exponential?

I wish I knew. But all my "answers" are cynical statements about how all these are parts of a (social technological) scheme to enable exploitation such that the exploited don't understand what's happening to them.

or else euler's famous exponential numerical value is somehow directly correlated with gravitational constant (I say this due to my personal understanding of the nature of time and reality; which in academic terms translates into "but I'm an unaccredited crank")
I agree it's bad, and yes, the government admitted they shouldn't have done it. But regardless, the question was about if it has happened to a citizen, not a person who maybe could be a citizen one day but is not, and you responded with them "doing just that" when they did not, in fact, "do just that".

I'm not sure why there's a need to mislead when what's actually happening is bad enough.

Reproducible builds COULD fix the xz issues. The current level would not, but github could do things to make creating the downloadable packages scrip table and thus reproducible. Fedora could checkout the git hash instead of downloading the provided tarball and again get reproducible builds that bypass this.

The above are things worth looking at doing.

However I'm not sure what you can code that tries to obscure the issues while looking good.
It's a DOM render stress test. It's trying to show the network is not the bottleneck. TL;DR do this in React or any other framework compared to a one time tiny shim and see if you get better results.

That's exceptionally ageist. Looking at the analytics on some of our apps which trend towards an older audience it does not seem like they, as a class, have any particular difficulty in using digital platforms.

I also don't see how this is significantly different from their "dear colleague" letters which seem to be simply distributed on their website. I would not call this page a "better platform" for this information:

> On the call, Kerr-Davis sounded resigned as she relayed news of the changes. “I know this probably sounds very foreign to you. It did to me as well,” she said. “It’s not what we are used to, but we are in different times now.”

Yes. Expect change. In particular, use data driven decision making, and don't resist new communications technologies for parochial reasons.

That all being said, there was certainly a better way to do this, but the position that nothing should change or the audience is too old to use digital technologies is somewhat absurd. This would all be so much easier if Musk didn't have some reason to hamfistedly involve himself in government.

That guy so badly wants the world to commemorate a statue to him. I think we should just do it to shut him up for a while.

As fzwang mentions, your co-founder relationship IS the business at this point. I'd talk to your co-founder 1:1 and really have some uncomfortable conversations. If you both feel like the relationship is not salvageable, amicably walk away without burning the professional bridge (someone might ask her how you are to work with). If your heart is not 100% in it (for whatever reason) I'd suggest walking away. The opportunity cost of dragging the dead weight of a business that you're not bought into (and that you aren't seeing success with) is simply too high - and can have real life consequences (finances, stresses, etc). There's nothing wrong with walking away - there's a reason the overwhelming majority of startups fail. And most tiny startups fail due to co-founder relationships - doesn't have anything to do with PMF or anything. Think about it over a weekend - have the tough conversation(s) - don't burn the bridge. Live to fight another day. The sun is still shining outside and the NBA is still rigged to always make sure the Lakers are relevant ;)

Well, I see it sort of like, yes, people might want faster horses. And maybe they'd prefer cars to horses. But if your cars start poking me in the eye and flashing blinding lights at me, I'm going to consider going back to a horse.

Part of the process of enshittification is changing the set of needs served by a product, and, almost invariably, adding new functionality that no one asked for and that they probably don't want. And usually that new functionality is a sort of Trojan horse (a faster Trojan horse?) that offers something superficially interesting but is really just a means of wedging some kind of revenue generation into the experience the user really wants to have.

People often do want cars rather than faster horses, but they want the cars they want, not the ones that will make someone else the most money.
