There are two additional recent ones mentioned in the article:

> On Oct. 15, the Post heralded the military's push for a new generation of smaller nuclear reactors. "No 'microreactor' currently operates in the United States, but it's a worthy gamble that could provide benefits far beyond its military applications," the Post wrote in its editorial.

> A year ago, Amazon bought a stake in X-energy to develop small nuclear reactors to power its data centers. And through his own private investment fund, Bezos has a stake in a Canadian venture seeking nuclear fusion technology.

and

> Three days after the nuclear power editorial, the Post weighed in on the need for local authorities in Washington, D.C., to speed the approval of the use of self-driving cars in the nation's capital. The editorial was headlined: "Why D.C. is stalling on self-driving cars: Safety is a phony excuse for slamming the brakes on autonomous vehicles."

> Fewer than three weeks before, the Amazon-owned autonomous car company Zoox had announced D.C. was to be its next market.

Edit to respond to your edit: these are the opinion pages, not reporting.


The PSF and several other organizations that provide public package registries wrote an open letter [1] announcing a joint effort to make this situation more sustainable. I'll be interested to see where it goes.

Thanks! I want to bring this up as a discussion point when I get the chance at work.

I can't find a date on this letter - is it recent?

It says "September 23, 2025" right at the top.


The website hides the date on mobile


The date is at the top of the letter and in the url...

September 2025.


I'm rather baffled at the spike in HN folks missing obvious dates. You're not the first..


I wonder if they're mobile. Here the URL is truncated and over on openssf.org/blog they don't show the date unless you switch over to desktop view.


I'm on mobile and missed it. My bad for the spam.

From the tail end of the blog post:

> The technology that underpins this initial version of secure backups will also serve as the foundation for more secure backup options in the near future. Our future plans include letting you save a secure backup archive to the location of your choosing, alongside features that let you transfer your encrypted message history between Android, iOS, and Desktop devices.


Thanks for this cod piece.


This is the same dude who brought us the butterfly keyboard, so I'm anticipating a form-beating-function failure (if they actually ship something).


It's also the same dude who brought us beloved products in Apple's lineup. It's almost a meme at this point to say that Jony Ive's genius needs a containing force like Steve Jobs. Perhaps Sam Altman can fill that role.


Jobs, for all his faults, understood where aesthetic, functionality and user experience intersected extremely well.

He got stuff wrong too, don’t get me wrong, but I have yet to see another CEO (heck any business person of note) with the same pattern of deep understanding of how those things intersected as well as he did


People say this while outright ignoring all the outright failures Jobs had because he DIDN'T have that understanding.

The Lisa, the Newton, NeXT computers, trying to dump Pixar pretty much right before they made it big right as the tech was finally catching up to their ideas.

The reality is Jobs got to roll the dice a bunch of times, and if you get to roll the dice a lot, you will have some wins. Looking only at the wins is not useful.


I don't have the time or space to write up a proper rebuttal, but I will suffice to say, after reading an incredible amount about not only Jobs, but Apple, NeXT, the Newton, Pixar, things about tech, especially early home computing, the man performed well above his peers with regards to where aesthetic, functionality and user experience intersected. Note, I am not talking about how he ran the businesses otherwise.

He wasn't always right, as I said already, but he was far better than most at this. More importantly, he was far better at most at getting others to shave their vision down to the simplest of ideas.

If you look at the competitors to Apple or NeXT during their respective eras, they were not very thoughtful in their deliberations.

It doesn't mean every idea he had was successful either, but I'm speaking specifically to the fact he intersected the three points extremely well. At a certain point, someone is good enough at something its more than luck


Altman can't fill that role for himself, I don't think he could do it for Ive...


I'll be curious to see how these handle the gridlock caused by motorcades.


D.C. has plenty of gridlock even without the motorcades. It is one of the worst cities I’ve ever had the misfortune of driving in. Not enough street parking, expensive parking garages, flex lanes that change direction depending on the time of day, and one way streets that don’t alternate traffic direction in any conceivable pattern.

If you go there do yourself a favor and just take the metro.


Street parking causes much of the traffic because people double or triple park or drive around endlessly trying to find a subsidized spot. The problem DC has is simply that too many people are trying to go to the same places, and there just isn’t that much room for cars, especially with the limited river crossing points and reserved federal space.


Sounds like Waymo will fit right in, then.

We just got them in Austin. God help us all.


Wow, this brings back memories! This game had such a fun online community. My secret weapon was my trackball. The minute I entered a duel I'd spin it rapidly and mow down whoever I was fighting.


Do you have your terminfo set up properly? I used to experience bad glitching when working with vertical splits, but it went away once I applied this. https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/lua/config/term.html


My TERM is set to xterm-256color.


The fact that, many months after this app update, I still don't have play controls in the notification shade is appalling. God forbid I need to pause my music or need to skip a track.

Someone had to make a decision as to when the updated app would ship. They did not make a wise choice.
