That really sucks, but I do hope you have a local backup and/or offsite backup and not mentioning that for effect?

It's still amazingly evil by Apple, but I hope you still have your files.
It highlights a very serious issue, though - an increasing number of services use all kinds of crazy DRM that only result in great inconveniences for the paying user.

Compare that to the relative simplicity of having your music, books, etc. as a plain file, and you can see where the problem is: paying gets you less, rarely more.
Apple are re-distributing. And they're doing as part of business, which usually tips it from civil[1] to criminal[2].

The killing was 19/05/2014. iOS8 came out on 17/09/2014, and the iPhone 5S launched with iOS7. It’ll have been iOS7, and hence unencrypted by default in a way Apple (and presumably attackers) can access.
I believe SCL refers to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_Linux

These are hard to read, and I'm assuming people often "give up" and assume they're missing something and defer to apparent authority

But that could be a point: Whether you, faced with such a sentence, conclude "I'm too stupid to understand this but it sounds like it probably means something important" or ask yourself "what is this even supposed to mean" does show something about your attitude.
Similar what happened to me years ago - i got new iphone, installed itunes, it synced all local files. Few weeks later, i de-synced the phone or something like that, and all my local files were gone! Still not sure how or why, there were no warnings or anything. From that day, i stay as far as possible from iTunes and similar "smart music sync" apps. Spotify doesn't see my local music collection, and vice versa. All music streaming services and their apps are total crap, they try to lock you in and manage everything like you're an idiot.

In that case they should copy, but not delete, the files.

And they should have better content matching so they don't destroy user data.
My university offered "intro to unix". It wasn't required for anyone, but it did fill a general education requirement.

It was also one of the most practical, useful classes they had. A CS student who didn't take it (probably most of them) would still pick up most of the material by osmosis, but I think that class was a great idea.
I'm not angry =)

They're public bankers. It's an arms-length institution wholly owned by the UK government, which has mandated them to set monetary policy to meet statistical targets as a means of de-politicising monetary policy.

It works quite well, certainly better than when it was directly run and the UK had a lot of inflationary instability.
That’s slightly like arguing that TCP is not IP but an extension of IP.

This needs to be very careful to avoid the mistake of taking "a sentence disagrees with science" as equivalent to "a sentence is pseudo profound bullshit" or you will get results that simply divide people into belief clades some of which are scientific and some of which are not.

An example, if I were to say, "a daily routine of banishing prevents the accumulation of low-level negative entities" that would be starkly in disagreement with science and a true statement in the belief system of western occult magic.

Unless of course you simply wish to detect scientificness versus not, and label the whole of "not" as bullshit.

I imagine their thinking (as flawed as it is) is that it frees up local disk space for the user. If you've got a base level MacBook Air with just a 128GB SSD, maybe it seems beneficial to have a 40GB iTunes library stored entirely in the cloud on demand, and suddenly have 30% disk space freed up.

Apple have a similar philosophy with Photos, where the photos on your device are just low resolution versions, with the original hi-resolution versions kept on iCloud, if you choose the Optimize Device Storage setting. [1]

Not a philosophy I agree with. I like to keep my data local so I can use it offline. It's one reason I bought a 2012 MBP - I could get 1TB of storage cheaply, and I can upgrade it to a 1TB SSD myself for half the price of what Apple charges (Apple charges $800 for a 1TB SSD in Australia).

Trump's campaign personality is not exactly a bullshitter, and that seems to be a major component of his appeal. The things he says are often stupid, dangerous or wrong, but they're not bullshit in the sense of the OP's study.

"We should build a wall and make Mexico pay for it" is not bullshit (and therefore it's easy to evaluate how wrong it is). "There needs to be a strong resolve to promote intergovernmental dialogue which can meaningfully improve the lives of millions along the border" would be an example of bullshit about the same topic.
A long time ago I started to use the iPhone music app. Then I quickly discovered that songs sent to the iPhone could not be sent back the other way. This was just the beginning of Apple's lock-in. I got out of it right then and there. Now I store my music on my own server and use one of the many third party music apps to play them.

If a service smells of lock-in, you can be sure things won't become better, they will become worse like the issues people get with Apple Music and iCloud. You care about your files? Then you manage them, don't trust some service you have no control over.

I believe there's a setting when you initialize your library that allows iTunes to manage your library. If this is turned on, when you drag a file into iTunes, Apple copies the file into its own local storage so you have two copies of it. If you delete a file in iTunes it will delete it's local copy. Usually digital collectors will have this turned off if they're using iTunes since they like to organize and name their files elsewhere and they don't want to have two copies of the file. If you manage the library yourself i'm 99% sure you would avoid any funny business, even with an Apple Music subscription. The interplay of Beats, Apple Music, iTunes Match, audiobooks and iTunes was definitely a blunder. In my opinion they should all be separate apps.
Wikipedia has a nice illustration of the amount of power stored

For example, 1000 kilograms of water (1 cubic meter) at the top of a 100 meter tower has a potential energy of about 0.272 kW·h (capable of raising the temperature of the same amount of water by only 0.23 Celsius = 0.42 Fahrenheit).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricit...

Given the much smaller height of a rooftop tank, every 1000 kg of water pumped would support a number of minutes of normal household usage (a decent refrigerator would need several thousand kg per hour).
The 1.5B cash is already calculated into the market value. So that, plus the $500 mil the company is worth equals $2B.

There's no doubt that C-sections etc. have saved huge numbers of lives. On the other hand, the US actually doesn't have great maternal mortality rates for childbirth for a developed country: http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/apr/12/materna... (slightly out of date but not ridiculously). It also has a high C-section rate for a developed country. Not necessarily causal, but once you've covered the clear emergencies, it's often not clear when to intervene and when not to (and I say this as somebody who was very glad that there there were obstetricians down the corridor even though both my births were natural!) and there are measures that matter beyond maternal and baby mortality.
Homework doesn't really teach self-discipline, because it is an external motivation. If anything, I think it can work against that goal, because once people finish their mandatory work, they have no energy or enthusiasm left to learn for their own sake.

Perhaps I'm projecting, but mostly homework taught me how to do the minimum possible so I could get back to playing video games.

I had a non-English song on my Mac and iPhone prior to Apple Music subscription. Now, my iPhone has a very different non-English song altogether.

What seems to have happened is, Apple incorrectly matched the original song to another non-English song. Later, it deleted the original song on my iPhone and gave me the incorrectly-matched version.
Looks like RMS was onto something after all ;)
They have to make money somewhere. If it's free checking account, then maybe the account interest is low, or maybe the connected credit cards have high interest, or maybe they do a hard push on loans, or... Basically banks are not charities - in the best case, the everyday banking is simply a loss leader for something else.
It's worth noting that Google Photos actually does something similar... the photos are "backed up" even in their "original" form... but I don't believe it's possible to actually restore (download all) from Google Photos.

I thankfully have a local backup of the photos I took, but when a phrase like "backup" is used, it is implicit and understood that there is a "restore" mechanism.

Google Photos lacks a "restore" mechanism, and it sounds like the same is true of Apple Music.

Google Play Music also does the matching/mismatching thing.

An uploaded Ladytron - Gravity the Seducer was replaced by a remix album but remains tagged as if it's the original. This is probably due to them not having the original, and this was a 90% match based on tags... but 90% is not good enough. I worked in the music industry and have so many demo tapes, master cuts that were not subject to post-production, etc. I want the version I have, and not some approximate guess at something similar-ish.

This isn't just an Apple issue.
> Variable costs are scary, but they are scary because they may change at a future date, not because they are variable.

For most psychological research you don't need a very random sample, nor do you need a very large sample. It's got to do with the fact that our brains largely function the same. Your sample has to be large and random enough to be fairly confident that you didn't accidentally pick a significant amount of people with some sort of mental divergence (i.e. very low IQ, very high IQ, autism, psychopathy, etc..) that could be relevant.

I don't think picking nearly 200 people from Amazon Turk is going to risk that. But perhaps someone should research what kind of people are on Amazon Turk.

Fun exercise, let's modify the conclusion to reflect the specific population bias we think the paper might have:

People working for Amazon Turk are more likely to support conservative ideas when they also are susceptible to bullshit.

What is a much more important question: What is the distribution of conservative/non-conservative supporters in the group, and how significant is the measured correlation?

edit: Just as a disclaimer, I made this comment based on the psych master thesis presentation I've attended of a friend when I was at university where I posed the same question (N was only 16, and only local students were surveyed). He explained to me that for his particular research (pertaining correlation between auditory senses and motor skills) a small group was sufficient because of the fundamental brain structure we (mostly) all share. Whether that holds up for more complex research like this I don't know, I'm not a psych student.

> I'm not sure where you live where doctors do not wash their hands,

This is a massive and well studied problem in the US and around the world. If asked about the risks, sure, doctors admit they know them. They still don't wash their hands at safe rates. The CDC claims that medical professionals still wash their hands only half as often as they should. The Lancet found poor handwashing practices by medical professionals due to low compliance with recommendations worldwide. In American ICUs, handwashing compliance baselines at about 26%.

> The solution isn't to add arbitrary checklists and make doctors more busy. The solution is to use the scientific method

The scientific method is exactly where these measures come from. Atul Gawande's work on checklists and the discussions of handwashing are more publicly known, but proper interventions against bedsores through patient turning and proper cleaning in hospital facilities by maintenance staff contribute to patient outcomes too, along with a hundred other boring procedural improvements. All of them are adopted or recommended only after examining outcomes with those procedures according to some scientific study.

I unsubscribed from apple music when I found out about this and discovered iTunes would not allow me to sync music I bought from bandcamp onto my iDevices whilst using the iCloud support.

Does seem to be working times for apple, product wise they are making of decisions.
Yes they are (under the well-intended banner of "quality"), and I'm no fanboy for google, but the real theme is monocultures:

It seems so great to have one-size-fits-all solutions - penicillin, Hollywood, iTunes, U.S. Government, "just google it," Microsoft Word, single strain of bananas. But, flexibility and divserity are needed to endure and survive the long-term.
2008 was certainly bad.

As for getting rid of cash, I'm confused by your comment. I live in Europe (UK) and have free banking; free, less than 2 hour online transfers; free debit and credit cards; and free and convenient contactless payment. So does everyone else. Not having to carry cash is great!

Part of me wonders where the banks are making any money, but there are mortgages I suppose (and 2008).

I can't speak to earlier elections because I don't remember them -- but by election time, Nixon's pardon wasn't nearly as present in people's minds as Chevy Chase's SNL skits about Ford stumbling and falling.

Ford may have pardoned Nixon, but his handling of the SS Mayaguez incident more than made up for it.

Carter did actually seem less embarrassing as a leader because of his southern charm combined with the fact he hadn't "fallen and I can't get up".

And yeah, Reagan won because of his charisma. Hands down. Yeah, I remember "America held hostage -- day n" -- but I also remember the Camp David Accords. What did Carter in, IMO, was his malaise/crisis of confidence speech.

Though to be fair, he was 100% correct.

More importantly, I met President Reagan and though I was against almost everything about the man, he 100% won me over with a 90 second conversation and some candy. Idealistically I still disagree with almost everything Reagan while at the same time can't help but smile whenever I think of him.

On the phone, "freeup device storage" is an option that is prompted (and sounds like a wonderful idea)... whereby the phone copy is purged if the original file has already been "backed up" to Google.

It isn't possible to restore the backup.
>For most psychological research you don't need a very random sample, nor do you need a very large sample.

Heck, as long as you get published and get a grant, any size or representativeness of sample will do (even straight made up statistics, if there's no big fear of being found out).
That's not the only reason.

If I'm given the choice between a free proprietary, inflexible system like Apple Music, and paid DRM-free content that I own and can keep as long as I want (basically, paid pirated content), I'll choose the latter.
Apple iTunes Match (and Apple Music) subscriber, with 23,000 hand ripped songs, only about 18,000 able to exact match by Apple, 5,000 are less common versions.

Also have enabled iCloud Music Library. Note these are three different services, and iCloud Music Library has been the most likely culprit for monkeying with your music, not Apple Music.

The combo of all three has deleted or auto-replaced exactly zero of my custom rips. I can use a series of steps (smart playlist to find matched songs, then manually delete that set) to shift to using Apple's high quality unprotected version, or not.

I wonder if the key to everything working as you imagine is the Match subscriptions:

http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

If using Match, then after matching, manually deleting local, then re-downloading, you end up with a very high quality file without DRM that will continue to work fine and be portable, even after you cancel.

I'm not sure what happens if using only Apple Music without Match.

The linked article sounds a lot like the iCloud Music Library beta problems in July 2015:

I looked, whilst photos appears as a folder in drive, there is no option to "download all", and it would require me to load them into the browser view, select them, and then choose to download them.

For reference, I have 125GB of photos since 1994 in there... it would take a very long time to select them all.
