tekknik··on iOS 26.3 brings AirPods-like pairing to third-party devices in EU under DMA
Pharmaceuticals have very large margins.
tekknik··on iOS 26.3 brings AirPods-like pairing to third-party devices in EU under DMA
I think the EU believes they have more of an effect on the rest of the world than they actually do. Complying with every law in every jurisdiction that has access to a product sounds like a nightmare that will only stifle innovation.

it’s your tone and an assumption that i don’t understand the definition of context. it is hateful disagreements like this that radicalize people. your response was hateful, reword it without defining words for people.

> You ever consider that it's because those people are pro-workers everywhere and not just workers nearby? So yes enabling foreign workers to improve their lives by coming here makes perfect sense.

so then by doing this they hurt the worker here in favor of a worker in some other country?

> I mean that's like saying "what do you think is gonna happen to your rights once all the slaves are free".

when the word slave wasn’t mention at all by the parent, how did you conclude anything about slavery?

this relates to the economy as a whole, individual industries expand and contract their demand and given the advent of AI we’re in a contraction moment. I vote until the economy stabilizes we terminate H1Bs

this is again loaded language. the intent is to make things seem more severe than they were. the bombing of Nagasaki was a mass killing, shooting 4 people is a shooting with 4 victims, not a mass shooting.

suicide is championed by progressives outside this country, and machines have been built to increase nitrogen to give a comfortable death. the left is not against suicide, they are finding reasons to disarm people. this is why they will lose, their arguments are not rational.

no, it’s loaded speech and meant to manipulate human emotion to promote one’s goals.

your hateful response will have no change on anything whatsoever

it’s simple, don’t use verbiage meant to manipulate emotions. so just call it a shooting. the qualifier mass serves no purpose and changes nothing about how the case is prosecuted. the suspect is still charged with individual murder or manslaughter charges, not one single charge of multiple deaths.

we would all love no crime, most of us live in the real world and understand mental illness is a thing that exists.

this definition is only commonly accepted amongst the left. as an example, would you call a gathering of 4 people a mass gathering. most wouldn’t.

> Countries with strict gun control enjoy far lower rates of firearm accidents, suicides, and murders.

So let’s define what your definition of strict gun control is. Also, if you want people to care more, stop including suicides because it drastically changes the numbers.

more like mass shooting is poorly defined

> US could reduce mass shootings by strengthening regulations?

How? without decreasing access for sane people or using any of the previous talking points that have been rejected previously. now’s the time to suggest real change that could have an effect but suggesting the tired “no black rifles” will still go nowhere.

you’re asking for people to care about something they do a few times a day and further asking people to devote time to this. it’s ok if you feel this is important but as a developer for over 15 years i don’t care if my text editor takes 10 seconds to start as i have other things starting at the same time that takes longer.

or put another way, if you care about text editor performance, or are hyper focused on performance in all cases, you miss the point of software development

why punish employees? punish the executives. most employees want to live their lives. punishing employees would mean a total stop to all economic activity. i get that you want to be the cool guy and one up the next for punishments but the path you’re on will only lead to your ideas being ignored

> In Europe all parts are marked so it takes significant effort to sell or modify such cars. It's not like people steal them and then sell it at yard sales.

This is the same in the US, at least for the expensive parts. They won’t part it out or even sell it in your country, it gets shipped out to another country where your laws don’t apply.

> But stealing connected car doesn't make much sense to me.

How so? Even if you know the location you need someone with jurisdiction to go get it. You disable vehicle, then it gets destroyed.

EVs are entirely different designs than an ICE vehicle, and Tesla in particular is moving beyond the flawed CANBUS to something more robust and secure.

> Generally, long range key fob button functions and the short range start release functions are separated, both intentionally for security reasons and due to the different problem space occupied by each.

I don’t think this is true, for instance how does the key fob trigger a start sequence for vehicles equipped with remote start? They must be connected to the same CANBUS, so the key fob can interface with the start systems. This is also how a lot of vehicles are stollen, because of abuse/misuse of CANBUS (i.e. headlights being addressable in CANBUS)

tekknik··on Self-taught engineers often outperform (2024)
I think you missed the point and have some misunderstanding that the self taught engineer doesn’t follow standards, which then points back to the elitism.

To put it more simply, you have a misunderstanding that going to school means your better in an age when every bit of knowledge is available online for free.

I’ve worked with so many engineers with degrees that just churn out code. None of them seemed to care about maintainability or anything other than checking the boxes for the next promotion. A self taught engineer cares so much about the craft to teach it to themselves. The knowledge gained is the same, and syllabuses from major colleges are available online for free. The only thing missing is passing the tests for the piece of paper that says you passed the tests. That’s it. I’ve also found that most people with a degree only care so much about the craft as they care about not having to go back to school to learn a new one, or to put it another way, they are only financially invested.

> Where I come from we'd never entertain the idea for a moment.

Where exactly is this so I know not to visit? I’m one of those degenerates that are self taught so you should let me know so I stay out and don’t offend you.

> I'd be much happier crossing a bridge built by a structural engineer who has had certain rules (safety margins, etc.) drummed into him ad nauseam.

If the bridge passes inspection and is considered safe then your attitude would be a form of elitism no? The point from some of your parents is that they can do just a good of a job or better.

tekknik··on Loss of key US satellite data could send hurricane forecasting back 'decades'
I mean CA does nothing to mitigate fire risk and still gets funding and cries when they don’t. So why would any other state be different?
tekknik··on Loss of key US satellite data could send hurricane forecasting back 'decades'
Do you realize how little people in these areas pay attention to these forecasts? Hurricanes until you hit CAT 5 are viewed as bad rain storms that may or may not take the power out for a week. There is little evacuation or prep for the majority of people there as they are consistently prepared. Even still, the real threat of a hurricane isn’t the hurricane itself but the storm surge and all the tornadoes they create. Neither of those can be predicted with any accuracy so please help me understand why pathing is important?

To what end? What is the benefit of shutting down and ignoring data when for the last decade and a half even with data didn’t matter? I didn’t matter before why would it now?
