Wouldn’t surprise me if EU forced them to.

This kind of thing was available (although more difficult to find) well before the EU started on their Apple quest - e.g. I had the dimensional drawings for whatever phone I had in late 2015 (6 or 6S, I forget) because I was making graphical inserts for my clear case using my Cricut with dimensions from the Apple PDF.

No, this is to attract accessory manufacturers, and then corner them into buying an MFi/connector license: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MFi_Program

But they won’t compete here.

Are you sure about that? Google is probably one Trump bribe away from being tariff exempt for these.


My wife often says the Dyson v8 vacuum is the best purchase I have ever made, that was 8 years ago.


I wish I could be that happy. I have two V8s and both of them are prone to becoming stinky. Changing out the filters doesn't help, and dismantling and cleaning out the interior does make it better ... for a time. Then the smell comes back.

But for a cordless stick vacuum I do like the basic design. For real vacuuming I choose my Sebo E3 every time, but it's not nearly as quick to use as a cordless stick.

One of the best things you can do for a Dyson stick vacuum, in my humble opinion, is get an adapter so you can use something like a Milwaukee tool battery.


I bought mine because my coworkers were over the moon about it. Apparently i had a far different experience


But nobody asked him to buy a house, have a kid etc. He came here supposedly with the intention of not staying permanently.


Sure, he should just have lived as a slave and not socialize with anyone until he left.

H1Bs have been used as a path to citizenship for a long time. You can't just change the rules like that without destroying so many lives in a senseless act of cruelty. But the cruelty is the point.


Is it not cruel to Americans to replace them with said slave labor through legislation? The people who built this prosperous modern nation that so many people wish to flock to for a better life are just kicked to the curb -- talk about cruel.


Your premise is flawed, so your argument is worthless.

* America was built by immigrants.

* None of the Americans currently alive "built this prosperous nation". They were born into it.

* Welcoming immigrants won't "kick Americans to the curb".


* America was built by pioneers and colonists who tamed the wild continent and helped create the modern civilization we enjoy. They brought their experience and culture from the Western civilization from which they were launched.

* There are Americans currently alive who are direct descendants of the pioneers and colonists who created this great nation who deserve to prosper from their ancestors' sacrifice(s)

* Resources (housing) and opportunities (jobs) are finite -- if Heritage Americans have to compete with the entire developing world for their birthright, there is a non-zero chance they will be "kicked to the curb" so to speak.


* America wasn't "wild" when Europeans landed there, it was already inhabited. The previous owners were genocided and their land seized.

* I utterly reject the concept of "birthright". Birth alone does not entitle one to anything. You want prosperity? Work for it.

* Housing can be built, opportunities are created as the population grows. Immigration is economically beneficial to the country that harbors them.


Not even remotely close.


For natural disaster emergency annoucememt it is more reliable than whatsapp.


Cell Broadcast yes, SMS no.


Isnt the one just "mass usage" of the other?

Like Cell Broadcast just duplicates the SMS on carrier level?


Nah, Cell Broadcast has a lot less overhead since it does not have to do any routing or delivery confirmation and such. The load does not scale based on recipients which makes it far more reliable during an emergency.


Sorry, maybe I did "carrier replication" wrong - I used the word in a sense of "it is duplicated at the local cell by the towers", instead of getting "fed with 1mio receivers in region X by the telco servercentral HQ"

Im wrong, I guess?


Cell broadcast, depending on the emergency level set by the sender, also makes your phone vibrate until you read the message, and may also cause it to play a loud siren noise. Which is the sort of thing you want in a real emergency.


Why, because it can't be monetized by Facebook?


Because it doesn't do the job well. It's difficult to send any media, group chats are a pain, international messages often incur fees, it doesn't work on wifi-only, and so on.


Whatsapp is used by a lot of "neighbourhood watch" groups, so you'd need an IRC-like channel to replace it.


What logs though? They had to make multiple deployments to get the right log traces in the first place.


Was wondering the same, doesn’t mention if they tried checkpointing less frequently


To be fair, it’s not unreasonable to take your safety for granted when in the presence of the US president. I do find it odd Trump decided to go though.


I'd categorize it as "sounds reasonable, so long as you never actually reason about it":

In that last one, glance at the map of "Locations struck" by Iran & Co. Notice how many of 'em are in Turkey?


It doesn’t have to be a foregone conclusion that GLP-1 causes muscle loss though. The primary reason for the muscle loss is the reduction in calories and protein intake. If you want to keep most of your muscle mass you can just make sure you keep up with your daily caloric and protein needs.


Muscle requires protein, yes. Unfortunately, we don't get to keep unnecessary muscle just by eating protein. The body requires a lot less muscle to lug around 200 pounds than it did when lugging around 300 pounds.

We have to do the strength training. "Use it, or lose it".


Correct, that goes without saying. I meant GLP-1 alone doesn’t cause muscle atrophy.


exactly. Usually legacy code forms when people lose context and confidence in parts of the codebase due to staff turnover etc and ppl avoid touching or enhancing those parts for long periods. Six months is a short time to accrue that much tech debt, its enough time where most of the people who created that "legacy" are probably still around. As you said indicates bigger problems.


So basically any LLM codebase of sufficient size is immediately legacy.
