Sky News isn't the best, but Al Jazeera is top notch.

Low as it may be, it seems like an unreasonable risk, given the recent advancements in pilotless (and remotely piloted) aircraft.

I imagine they'd be rockin' reel-to-reels.

What's your theory as to why the cable would be at fault, despite working perfectly well in a different machine?

Seems like the simplest counterpoint would be to demonstrate a M1 mac transmitting at the full data rate using a different cable.

Why bother reading the article when you can just slam out hot takes?

> Cables used included a certified Thunderbolt 4 model, and the USB-C (data) cables provided with the cases. Again, each was verified by establishing SuperSpeed+ 10 Gb/s connections to an Intel Mac.

It also built the city streets those Taxis and Ubers cruise around on. What's your point?

Perhaps, another option would be for the government to help establish a drivers-cooperative app. An app where all the profits collected had to distributed back to the drivers or invested in the common infrastructure to maintain, promote, and improve the app.

The drivers could also agree amongst themselves as to matters such as working conditions and minimum pay.

Uber and others could still exist, but they'd be at a disadvantage because they'd be ploughing billions into nonsense like self-driving blimps or whatever.

Looks like their repo has gone a bit quiet as well.

That's only in the case of you bricking the firmware though. I'm sure they'd help you get back on the road over at the Apple store if you didn't have another Mac handy.

Fossil, Garmin, and (to an extent) FitBit work in different market segments to Apple and Google. Fossil leans heavily on its brand value and aesthetic, while the other two are more fitness centric. The Apple and Google entries are general purpose tools.

That’s not actually lying though. Expressing an opinion is not lying.

Lorawan would not provide a very pleasant user experience.

To use the extra features that come with Redis Stack, you need a client that supports those features. According to the site posted, the Ruby client doesn't support these features.

So it appears that you are the one that is missing something.

... you can still do the code based flow if you want...

> premature confidences in technological understanding

CRISPR-Cas9 (the method used here) was first successfully used seven years ago. According to the article, the meat may go to market in two years pending a safety review. So that's nine years from lab to table. How soon is too soon? What makes you think doing it now would be premature as opposed to ten years from now?

> It was to be measured and wary of bare professional and institutional assurances.

From where would you like to get assurances? Do you have to conduct the study yourself?

> Regarding the characteristics of plants and animals that we should feed to our children and mass rear in our environment - I am of the mind that the characteristics should be as well evidenced by the long history of life as we can afford.

That's all well and good till climate change reduces arable land and we have to extract as much as we can from the remainder.

This is a pretty poor form of argument. You can't just make blanket statements like this without evidence.

What evidence do you have that our understanding of CRISPR and genetic modification today is on par of our understanding of CFCs and CJD in the 20th century?

It's like saying that we shouldn't release any new drugs because of the thalidomide catastrophe.

Cube

I think part of the problem here is that there are multiple incidents being conflated. For instance, people are saying that the pilots visually confirmed the incident with their own eyes, but (according to the article) that would not have been possible given the distance between the plane and the object.

Is there a source to indicate that in the specific incident being covered by this article, that there is any evidence beyond the video itself?

Got a source on that?

I feel like people just want to believe. But this is a pretty satisfying explanation.

Try and organise a workshop to set some common coding standards. Having a commonly understood standard for good is an excellent way to start the process.

China doesn't have a centrally planned economy though. It certainly has a lot of state intervention, but resources are primarily allocated through market mechanisms.

Much of its industrial policy actually resembles that of democratic states like Korea and Japan.

I'd argue China's experience presents a great argument for a mixed market economy that allows state intervention, while also recognising the importance of markets and decentralised economic coordination.

However, we shouldn't overhype China's progress. The fact of the matter is that China was always destined to become an economic juggernaut given its population size, stability, and resources.

It's just China had been tied down by Mao and his supporters managed to hijack the government for several decades and hindered China's ascent with their whacky policies. We're now seeing it snap back to where it belongs.

Two thirds of the volume seems to be dedicated to cooling. Assuming they’re not complete idiots, they must be doing something!

I don't think the Docker VM is going to phase that crazy machine.

Looks to be a mistake in the readme. The example in the docs doesn't have value being passed in.

Well, in the Google Workspace post there is a picture of a table. So it probably supports them.

They also feature a table in a little GIF they have on that page.

What we really need is a backstory for the ball. How did it end up between these two paddles? Why does it want to hit them? What happens when it goes into the void? What sort of love interest might a ball have?

You realise, if the banks go, so does the internet, right?

Russia is embarking on a war of territorial aggression against its weaker neighbour in an effort to establish its own regional hegemony (see: Eurasian Economic Union and Commonwealth of Independent States). But no, you’re right, the real injustice here is locking Russia out of SWIFT.
