Link. Not a shock.

Link. If one side uses human shields the other side still cannot disregard their safety. Siege is not legal (I think).

Link. Blame the GOP.

Link. For once nobody is surprised.

Link. It would kill Apple revenue.

Link. For things like this there are Nobel prizes.

Link. This is going to be very interesting. Apple is going to be embarrassed.

Link. An obvious threat that will require many interlocking defenses.

Link. A warning to left Dem.

Link. Employers have infinite choice so make candidates travel to interview.

Link. Up for Native American, Alaska Native and white mothers, Black infants remain at highest risk.

Link. ““We looked into the deeper Earth,” said Qian Yuan, a postdoctoral researcher at the California Institute of Technology who led the research. “We found big chunks of the impactor Theia.”

Link. “When backing up to APFS, Time Machine reverses the design used in High Sierra: instead of using snapshots to determine what needed to be backed up before creating a backup using traditional hard links, most of the time Time Machine determines what has changed using the original method with FSEvents”

Link. We can’t fix it and it doesn’t matter economically any more. Oil disruption only speeds decarbonization.

Asia is what matters. Containing China.

Link. Many Mozi victims in China and Russia. Sounds like Mozi’s author is now cooperating.

Link. Her review of the “obesity is not a disease” movement is as fair as can be.

The inverse correlation between wealth and weight suggests room for cultural factors (or curious genetics).

Link. Loss numbers don’t fit the media story.

Link. But no effect in a less at-risk group. I’m skeptical. I doubt the real effect is anywhere near 48%.

Link. I hope the experiments are one day feasible. I didn’t think one could use entanglement to pass information back (very small jump) in time .. seems suspiciously similar to FTL.

Link. “emerald jewel wasp both eats the cockroach’s heart out and takes its breath away”

Ampulex compressa. Your next Halloween costume.

Link. TIL the 3 different names for bonds.

Link. I’ll wait until spring to upgrade.

Link. Data freedom is the work of net heroes.

Link. This is a stub article, but is already better than what I can find via Kagi or Google today. It’s for Ventura but will be updated to Sonoma in next few months.

Link. It’s more scriptable than I’d thought but there doesn’t seem to be a home for the user scripts. #photos #AppleScript

Link. I wonder how much was COVID accelerated inheritances.

Link. “Singapore, which UNCTAD still classifies as a “developing” country, is among the very richest countries on the planet. It’s far richer than the U.S., Canada, Australia, Switzerland, or the countries of North Europe.”

There’s a lot of China’s money flowing through Singapore. The (free) essay also explains what makes a country “developed” per UN. (Hint: It’s up to the country.)

Link. Economists lose a key real-time indicator of economic activity.

Link. Worth a try.

Link. It is impossible to turn humans into good drivers. To reduce pedestrian deaths we need to limit vehicle speed and size, end turn in red, regulate trucking better, simplify roads and limit where cars go.

(If I’d stepped into the ped crosswalk this morning I’d be dead now. Instead I looked and saw the 18 wheeler roaring through the right turn.)

Link. “…. number of European iPhone users who selected Chrome could triple, …company could keep more search ad revenue and pay less of it to Apple.”

Apple and Google are about equally evil. The dirty search deal should be destroyed.

Link. We communicate with the Oracle by sending a matrix incantation.

“if I want to find related articles for a given article, I can calculate the cosine similarity between the embedding vector for that article and every other article in the database, then return the 10 closest matches by distance.”

Link. Why Eddy Cue fibbed.

Link. You really don’t want to change your password.

Link. He had the two Apple ID problem (iCloud vs iTunes). The Apple digital store and Apple email/storage worlds are only loosely coupled. Payment/subscription services cross both so they can break in unique ways. (Now add in Parental Controls, etc).

Link. Nobody should pay for Apple News standalone. Some big increases in the list.

Link. The GOP has no direction and no goals — except power, wealth, and opposition to Dems.

Link. “Many of the retail jobs are unlikely to return, as online shopping and automated kiosks continue to shrink the sector”

COVID accelerated changes. Might explain some opinion polls if this is more widespread.
