Yes, so we should move to a source-based package manager and build system, like FreeBSD ports.

Especially for non-technical users, they've practically implemented a system where Apple decides what software you are and aren't allowed to run on your own computer. For non-technical users the choice is simple: either Apple de

Meanwhile, generating heat with resistive heating is literally just the cost of wires. And the electric current you need to run through them. Resistive heating has a COP of 1.0 by definition. A modern, cold climate, air source heat pump c

But in either case if the IT department/management actually wants to destroy the devices, no procedures from Apple will affect that decision. Either way, as it stands now it doesn’t cost the company anything to have the devices shred

Yeah, if we’re starting with the “1 in a million” unfair coin then most of the input strings are going to be all 0 or all 1 which means the cipher is going to give the same sequence every time. Not useful!

Question is: can this be learned from and applied to other industries which are not focused on extreme growth, such as more traditional industries or B2B work? I’m not sure.

If activation locks didn’t exist then companies would have to pay the recyclers to shred the devices. Otherwise recyclers would actually be able to recycle them into usable parts/whole devices to sell. Keeping that stuff off the used m

The recyclers don’t have any way to contact the IT team? The job for the IT department is to ensure all company data is wiped from the phones before dropping them off at the recyclers. Nothing more than that. Heck, I bet some managers even

Some businesses just dump loads of devices into the arms of recyclers without offering any further help. If their IT team isn’t doing a proper Apple-sanctioned MDM-wipe then all those devices may still be activation locked. What can the rec

Honestly, the more photos I take with my phone, the more I find myself craving a film camera. It's not just the look of film which I find more appealing than digital photos, the physicality of the whole thing. Operating a film camera (

Suppose instead your great grandfather had an iPhone back then and you now had access to his library of 10s of thousands of food pics and random selfies in bars, on vacation, etc. Would you still be as excited?

I graduated recently and have been looking ever since. It’s abysmal. No replies at all. Compared to co-op where I was interviewing a dozen times a week and getting half a dozen offers, it’s post-apocalyptic. No one’s interested in taking on

The example way above was NVIDIA. Suppose the person who passed away was one of the founding researchers at the NVIDIA worker coop. They developed most of the key technologies that go into a graphics card, but they died during the later sta

And how did they come to own their land? You trace the claims back enough and it'll resolve to "some ancestor took it from someone else at the point of a spear". Yes, this falls under the same umbrella of theories that Nozi

Nonsense. You can’t feed people with machines. You need raw materials and you need land to produce those materials from. That productive land is already owned by a bunch of people who currently use it to grow food and sell at market for pro

What if they pass away? I assume their shares are sold immediately and the money paid out to their estate. Now suppose that all the work they did was in the R&D phase (and fundamental to the project) but the final product had not been r

Math functions are not total, in general. Computable functions are a subclass of all functions, so lots of functions are not computable. Purity doesn't apply to functions, it applies to algorithms which compute functions. In software p

There is no general algorithm to symbolically compute all integrals. All we have are partial algorithms which consist of big rulebooks for the cases we’ve already solved. It also turns out we can’t even verify, in general, the result of int

And newspapers decide every single word they publish, because they’re liable for it. If a newspaper defames someone they can be sued. This whole case comes down to having your cake and eating it too. Newspapers don’t have that. They have fr

The second option isn’t really meant for social media anyway. It’s meant for traditional publishers such as newspapers. If this goes through I don’t think it will be such a big boost for Google search as you suggest. For one thing, it has n

You're mistaken as to what this ruling is about. Ultimately, when it comes right down to it, the Third Circuit is saying this (directed at social media companies): "The speech is either wholly your speech or wholly someone else&#x

It sounds like a lot of this is due to Psychology Today misreporting a study they link to in their own piece which directly contradicts their own conclusion. People complain a lot about science journalists but this seems exceptionally bad.

Yes, one way we could fix supply/demand is by scaling up the density of detached and semi-detached neighbourhoods. This means mandating narrow one-way streets (6m wide) and banning wide two-way streets (15m wide), forcing smaller front
