You seem to be confusing extradition and extraordinary rendition? The former is a legal process built on treaties. The latter is a euphamism for a kind of government kidnapping to circumvent legal restrictions, hence the "extraordinary

I didn't say (or at least didn't mean to imply) that any of those were originated at apple, but that they are high volume ongoing contributions to open source from apple and they could do less on them. I also don't know why

Apple contributes quite a lot to open source (WebKit, llvm, clang in particular but there are other high volume projects), though not so much in the Linux kernel. There are some patches by Apple in Linux though and they've made quite a

Likely a lot of people just never update their employer on linked in after they leave. Especially if they retire. That'd be a different kind of problem than bot accounts.

Then we have to pick some people to choose the person. I guess we could vote on those people. We could call this body a Parliament. Oh woops we're back where we started.

Historically in Westminster systems that hasn't actually been that unusual when the majority party has lost as much public trust as this one seems to have. At a certain point, presiding over an unpopular rump can be more damaging in th

I guess this is why "former bank building night club" is kind of a genre.

Put another way: jwst sees both the clouds and (many of) the stars, while Hubble seems to have been able to see one or the other more clearly at a time. You could infer from that that the thing jwst is doing better is having a much greater

Excel is probably the world's most popular programming language period.

I mean, I agree! But it is, and this specific thing is only part of that.

a lot of people in this comment section seem kind of confused about the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia? This isn't at all surprising, why wouldn't you hire American military to go with your American military hardware

This is true for power but it's not true for energy in total. A lot of energy is used at night by burning fossil fuels for heat directly in the home. This is something you have to factor in when reading boldly optimistic claims about h

by stormbrew 4y ago
I mean if you want a wider thing with multiple ports you can just get a usbc thing that does that and plug it into the usbc module? There's lots of those out there. The Ethernet one sticks out a little but a multiple usb-a port one wou

Introducing a whole new structure for modules would be a huge self-defeat for their reason for existing. I didn't get a framework laptop with the expectation they'd obsolete it in a couple years.

I have no interest in a trackpoint at all but I do really want the other things. The keyboard being replaceable is great in theory but until they put some effort into making alternatives, it's not very useful.

Democracy exists at all because people did not follow a blind adherence to law. At any rate, "the law" is a body of rules so large and complex that likely almost no one actually manages to get through a month without breaking it a

In this case it's as if you can only drive on certain roads if you have a Honda Accord, and maybe in the country you're in the Honda Accord isn't even available to buy legally but there are still roads you can only use if you

Productivity here doesn't mean "how much you get done" but "how much money is made off you". There may be some ways in which the two ideas correlate, but it's a complicated relationship and it's not even a

In theory people are supposed to use the most charitable interpretation on HN. Interpreting the post as talking about a timeline of months or a couple of years, as it seems some replies have done,is definitely not that. That said, network e

I mean, I think it suffers the same problem as lisp on that front. If you're coming into a codebase would you rather read boring C or try to figure out the mind of the person who crafted the lisp/macros in it? Even C codebases can

I dunno about cp/m binaries in particular, but static translation of machine code from that era can be really difficult because of mingled code and data, self modifying code, and unclear bounds on jump tables. So it might not be very e

No one thing is going to power the whole world. Even "renewables" isn't one thing, and it can't and won't be deployed the same way in every climate or environment. It, as a blanket set of things, should be deployed

Please point to me saying anything about "powering the world" with nukes. What a ridiculous strawman. This isn't Mortal Kombat: Energy Edition.
