Real spaceships do not and will not have humans in the control loop except to specify a destination or target.

Jim Lovell would like a word.

Can a human be found liable for this?

A father in Georgia was just convicted of second degree murder, child cruelty, and other charges because he failed to prevent his kid from shooting up his school.

They were probably close friends because they weren't business competitors.

Until the Heritage Foundation succeeds in dismantling Wikipedia.

They're trying to provide an alternative to normal invite system - one that's been established and battle-tested over decades, one that works okay-ish across any device, real or virtual, on any platform, and one that people know how to use.

And if the people who try Invites discover that it isn't, in fact, superior to this "normal invite system"—whatever you believe it to be—that you claim is "established and battle-tested," they won't continue using it and will go back to what they were doing before.

An alternative that gives some bells and whistles exclusively to the Apple users, and perhaps even is more ergonomic in practice.

Do you believe that all vendors should be forbidden from shipping any new application or feature that doesn't offer full interoperability and feature parity with everybody else or is that a limitation you believe should be applied only to Apple?

Opinions regarding masking mandates and criticizing COVID-19 response in general, for example.

So they were cracking down on people spreading dangerous disinformation in the middle of a public health emergency. Okay.

What are some others?

Yes, that was rather my point.

Before Musk takeover certain opinions just weren't present and/or were actively silenced.

Care to provide some examples of "certain opinions" that were "actively silenced?"

They can make stuff up, but saying "60% of the time they lie to you" hasn't been true for years.

If you're using them to fill knowledge gaps, what scaffolding have you set up to ensure that those gaps aren't being filled with incorrect-but-plausible-sounding information?

I'm curious about the rationale behind this choice when nuclear power seems like a far superior option. Can someone shed light on this decision?

India’s plutonium has already been spoken for.

The economics of higher education in the United States are definitely ripe for reform—especially for public institutions—but I think we have much better places to be looking for ideas than the health insurance industry.

That Patreon is even considering keeping the app is proof of this.

No, that Patreon is "even considering" keeping the app is evidence that they get more valuable information about users and their habits from the app than they could from a website.

You could level similarly-contrived criticisms against humans where machines could do better too.

You’re not even going to build an actual strawman before claiming to have knocked it down?

that's why it all over the place.

The last sentence explains why it's all over the place quite succinctly.

Plus a very expensive (relatively) subscription. I loved Dark Sky because I bought it and then I had it.

Ongoing customer value (hyper-local precipitation forecasts) that has ongoing costs for the developer (weather data) is unsustainable without ongoing revenue (subscriptions). This may have had a thing or two to do with Dark Sky ending in an acquihire.

There should be a lawyer-free portal where you can upload their threat letter and your responsible disclosure letter, and get some kind of legal order blessing your work that you can throw back at them.

Who's going to check it to make sure that "your responsible disclosure letter" actually is a responsible disclosure letter and not just nonsense?

When you purchase a ticket from them and resell it on their marketplace, once someone purchases it, they(Ticketmaster) hold your funds and only give you the money ~7-14 business days after the event is over. They say this is to verify the validity of the ticket.

I imagine it's more about discouraging scalping, regardless of what they may say about it.

This is worth filing a Computer Fraud and Abuse case.

No.

Very few of them are carrying openly (why make yourself the first target?), but I stand by my statement that I'd be shocked.

This is an extraordinary claim that demands at least some evidence in order to be taken seriously.

A youth league bowling tournament would be an exception, given the preponderance of children.

To the contrary: if you honestly believe that somewhere between 10% and 25-33% of Maine adults are carrying for protection—and, once again, there is literally no way that this is even close to true—it would make even more sense that the adults there would have been carrying To Keep Our Children Safe(TM).

In northern New England, for example, like Maine and New Hampshire, I'd estimate 1 in every 3 or 4 people in most public spaces are armed. I'd be shocked to find out it's less than 1 in 10 in any specific gathering of 100 or more people.

I've lived in Maine my entire life—from the most rural parts to Portland—and this is just nonsense. There is absolutely no way that even 10% of people are armed in public.

Do you start shooting when the odds are that high that someone might shoot back? Maaaaybe, but not as soon as you might if you were surer that you would get away with it.

Perhaps you'd like to consider what JUST happened in Lewiston last October.

So Qualcomm is onto something here.

Yeah. Using 12 cores to get 16% more performance than an 8-core processor gets.

The output turns blue and nothing happens? Update Terminal and then winget will work.

such a bizarre world Apple lives in

A world so bizarre that people keep trying so very hard to access it on their own terms.

They should call them Windows.

The implication that residual stock or friends across town could influence the situation.

Yes, that could explain why McDonalds execs would try to discourage franchisees from using Kytch.

It doesn't, however, explain why McDonalds execs seem not to have a problem with 20% of their locations not being able to sell a product that people apparently like enough to complain when they can't get it, which is what the top-level comment was talking about.

often groups also sell you the inputs/ingredients and force you to purchase through them to "maintain quality/consistency"

QSR franchisees are famous for cutting every corner they can get away with (as well as cutting even more corners until they get caught by the brand or local health/labor inspectors), so maintaining quality and consistency is a very real concern for these brands.

they get paid all the same

I haven't looked at a McDonalds franchise contract, but every QSR franchise contract I've seen requires the franchisee to pay the brand a percentage of each location's gross sales.

Broken ice cream machine = less gross sales. Less gross sales = less money going to the brand.

It's also not great for customer satisfaction.

X2 and K56Flex were two competing standards for 56Kbps dialup connections that predated the eventual V.90 standard.

I think there was a lot of "pre-802.11n" hardware sold before that standard was ratified as well.

Yes, Apple is 100% going to ship the same silicon in 2028 that they decided not to ship in 2023.

Great analysis. A+

People who became parents have supposedly already reached a baseline of stability and security (otherwise they wouldn't have the resources to have children).

"Supposedly" is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, as is your parenthetical note.

And we're focusing on parents because this article is about melatonin use in children.
