Nobody ever rides bikes on the road, you're right.

I think you need to see the problem in terms of "bigger, more protected bikes" rather than "tiny cars"

He's serious. The new multitasking workflow which is the major feature of iPadOS 16 is not available on non-M1 iPads, for example

Except that syntax requires infinite lookahead to parse.

It's feasible when you're running a preprocessor on your own code one time, but not feasible for the browser to do on unknown code on every stylesheet it encounters.

The simple '&' requires infinite lookahead to parse.

Lots of crying in the comments over an EU mandate which says in its opening pages that the limiter must be able to be disabled by the driver. If you don’t like it, just turn it off.

In that case though, why wouldn’t all Googlers working at offices in Spain already just declare fully remote for the 100% salary increase?

Not OP, but isn’t that the reality of labour markets? The alternative is that everyone in non-SF areas of the world is competing for SF salary remote positions.

It’s even worse at established tech giants like FAANG, where everyone working at anywhere other than SF would optimally declare fully remote for the free salary increase

stops only need to be adjusted for total photons gathered, not for photons per unit square

Is storage a problem for a big country like the USA? If you have a connected grid, can’t you be reasonably sure it’s windy and sunny in some places and bring power from there?

I actually don’t know

Because council tax and business rates get paid to an entirely different entity than road tax (local government vs state government) and you can see your council's spending breakdown

I'm not sure what you're trying to say? Who are "these people"? The people who write Fuchsia's documentation? And they can't stop what? Adding DEI messages to the header of their website?

Their stance seems reasonable to me. They seem happy for works to be GPL, but frustrated that it means plugins or extensions or things which are not the core work themselves are then hampered.

Why would it be exhausted over time? When things come close to the magnet it uses its potential energy to pull them.

When some force acts to remove those objects from the magnetic field, that energy is converted into potential in the magnet again.

Are you claiming that the alignment of the magnet will fade slowly over time when the field is interacted with, more quickly than it would if it were left on a proverbial shelf for millions of years?

Tesla still don't have a public FSD. All they have is traffic aware cruise control with lane assist + stop signs. And some other bits and pieces.

At level 5 that makes sense - there is nobody in the vehicle responsible for the safety of the vehicle.

The vaccine isn't doing anything in your body to fight COVID-19 infection actively. Your immune system is doing the fighting regardless.

I think the parent comment was being pedantic/correct that Europe is not a customs union, country, or set of laws. Europe is a continent, and the EU is (among other things) a customs union.

I think so, because the spec prevents "death by a thousand cuts" and makes it crystal clear what's allowed and what's not.

If your marketing department want one more tracking script and your execs want one more pop up banner etc and each change is bad but not egregiously so, then your average "web guy" at most non-big-tech companies will just do what they're asked to.

With AMP they get to say "it's not possible"

AMP allows tech people at non-tech companies to push back against all the "just one tiny little thing it won't effect load speed much" requests.

Your marketing department wants another tracking script? no can do. Your exec wants a javascript "click the monkey" promo? not on the AMP site. The UX folks want parallax webGL spinning logos? Sorry AMP doesn't allow it.

It puts people who were previously not in a position where they could push back against decisions which effect load speed in a position where they can push back.

This seems a bit short sighted. Should we not require accessible entrances to shops, banks, etc in law because it should be up to the people who own the building to decide if it's worth the massive expense of making the building accessible for only a few customers?

Why would it be time to switch to another browser because Google is disallowing apps from embedding Google oAuth pages in their own WebView? This seems like a security win for users - you'll no longer have to trust that the app isn't phishing your credentials.

This just seems like fixing a security bug? They're saying that they'll no longer allow apps to embed the oAuth login inside their own embedded WebView, right? Seems like this is in the interest of protecting users from malicious apps that pretend to show Google's oAuth screen but actually show a phishing site.

Apple allows cloud gaming apps (they don't care if the game is delivered by streaming when you play it) but they don't allow game store apps which can stream lots of different games and where that selection of games can change outside of an app store update.

I'm not sure that's relevant to this discussion.

The government continues to reduce the amount of money they send to the BBC, which continues to produce world-class television and is struggling to find the money to do so.

They've decided that they will no longer offer the complimentary license to the elderly.

None of that should have any bearing on the accuracy of their environmental reporting.

I think you do have a right to hold a controversial opinion in public and not have your belongings destroyed because of it.

"That person said something I disagree with" doesn't imply that you have the right to demolish their property and their job.

I'd love to hear when you open source this - it sounds perfect for me :D

I think such a value system is fine in as much as it preserves the safety of the driver.

I'd like my car to make value judgements about what's safer - braking and colliding with an object or swerving to avoid it. I'd rather it brakes and collides with a child than swerve into oncoming traffic, but I'd rather it swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid a truck that would otherwise T-bone me.

As long as the system only acts in the best interest of it's passengers, not the general public, it's fine by me.

I'd also love one if you have one spare. adam.copp geemayl

If the house was your primary residence, and not an investment instrument, you didn't really "lose" anything - other property is now also cheaper, and you always need somewhere to live.

Sure, you're paying more than you would have if you waited, but you were happy to pay XXXXUSD per month to have somewhere to live, and your relative mobility has actually increased if we assume that the housing market fell by a flat percentage.

So many apps would require internet that users would become desensitized to the permissions box and just say "yes" every time the box comes up without even reading it maybe?
