I’ve been thinking about how regulations for EVs require them to make a sound at slow speeds, and each manufacturer tries to create one (BMW commissioned Hans Zimmer for example), but why bother when the perfect sound already exists.

@tirath Only the global *test* infra? You need to dream bigger. (Also, congrats on the job!)

@stephentyrone @beached_whale At least you didn’t get a message complaining about lack of Flash…

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

The author has written great articles for all three disastrous decisions of the SCOTUS this week.

The decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will go down as one of the worst in the court’s history, @NoahRFeldman writes https://t.co/34Z3t3mJum

@barrelshifter Maybe talk to @ipistol and see if he has anything that could help.

@marcan42 What’s the nature of the filesystem inconsistency you’re coming across, out of curiosity?

The world’s smallest violin is playing for ISPs complaining about “a piecemeal approach to net neutrality”, when they were the ones who lobbied the federal government to drop its own net neutrality protections to begin with.

@barrelshifter Yes, yes it is

@_argp Haha I know right, all the cool CompSec kids like to hate on Signal, it’s a tribal thing. Thing is, I’m neither in CompSec nor cool, and as a result I see nothing wrong with it. Feel free to suggest better alternatives. (And no, Twitter DMs don’t count as better. 😛)

With Apple Silicon support finally coming to Dropbox (beta only for now) and Signal, there are very few Intel processes left on my system at least. Next up: your move Logitech.

@isosteph Buy a scale, only attempt weight-based baking recipes, watch your baking woes disappear.

It’s more normal for an American adult to be vaccinated than to use Facebook

The darker aspect of this is that it's almost always women who are taken apart this way for how they speak. Happens in the US too with things like upspeak and vocal fry. This American Life had a great segment about this at some point.

@oliviasolon A not uncommon one on rail/tube in the UK: “incident on the tracks” (someone jumped in front of the train)

The Webex Meet app on iOS somehow managed to go from a stylish, memorable icon to an absolute train wreck of an icon, it's really quite impressive.

As the article says this ruling would have cleared Aaron Swartz, who tragically committed suicide while being prosecuted under the previous, wider interpretation of the CFAA by the government.

[Vasilis @vvas]

Thankfully in the end the Supreme Court did limit the CFAA (with a majority opinion by Amy Coney Barrett!), in that it cannot be used to charge someone who already has access to the computer system, regardless how they use it. (cc @triciawang @binarybits)

@triciawang According to the Ars coverage, incredibly even the DOJ's own argument goes against precedent of how the CFAA has been used in the past against scraping. So there's a reasonable chance the ruling will limit the CFAA's scope regardless which way it goes.
