> If Google started to detect the pattern of someone slipping into madness and did what they could to start to refute things, to sprinkle in some helpful counter-points with their diet of pure nonsense, maybe we can save people who'd otherwise be lost.

To which the response is who are Google to influence how or what people think?

It's easy to make up pure-nonsense examples that nobody believes - like Soros suppressing the truth about the flat Earth - and say believers should be saved.

What if someone questions the official version of 9/11? What if they believe/d the NSA taps internet, social networks and world leaders? What if they think an omnipotent sky fairy watches over us all and blesses America?

Google's "did you mean" is irritating enough when applied to assumed typos; its purpose should be to give people what they're looking for, not tell people what they should be looking for instead.
Certainly, Android is more open than Apple's mobile OS. Google does hold some important bits back. But, still, it is "more risky". Hence the question. I may be missing other areas where Apple was open sourcing things that were more core to them.

Android is "more open" except for the parts that Google cares about - Google Play Services, and all of the other open source components that Google is abandoning.

The article seems particularly hermetic, especially wrt "bilocal causality" which doesn't seem to occur as a phrase before Dec 2016[1].

The piece tells us "bilocal causality" is

> a concept that is related to the more standard local causality, except that it accounts for the precise way in which physical systems are initially generated.

and later references

> a new type of Bell inequality that accounts for the fact that the two sources of states used in the experiment are independent, the so-called bilocality assumption.

If, like me, you find this non-obvious, you may like to get some background from an earlier paper[2] (different authors) which has a seemingly less opaque description of bilocality than the phys.org article:

> Nowadays, fast progress towards advanced demonstrations
of quantum communication networks, involving quantum repeaters [10] based on entanglement swappings [11] and quantum memories [12], are underway in many labs around the world. In these future quantum networks, several independent sources of entangled qubit pairs will distribute entanglement to partners who will then connect their neighbours by performing joint measurements on two (or more) qubits, each entangled with one neighbouring qubit, as illustrated for the simple case of three partners in Fig. 1. Such experiments have an interesting feature that has so far received little attention in previous works on nonlocality: the multipartite correlations between the measurement results at each site do not originate from a single multipartite entangled state, but from a series
of bipartite entangled states that are initially independent and uncorrelated from each other; i.e., there is not a unique initial joint state (the analogue of λ in a locally causal model) that is responsible for the observed correlations, but these are instead created from smaller systems through joint measurements.

"Spotting Bullshit" should be a mandatory elementary school class. First lesson is assume every statement spoken, written or thought by anyone, including yourself, no matter how charismatic, smart or authoritative they seem, is false until at least some small amount of first-hand evidence is presented. Second lesson is the definition of "evidence".

Maybe they just want someone to do some of those things and say they "did" the others. Saying "Fine tuning" probably is just for the position advertisement and it really just means not clunky, junk, hardly running code.
I feel that in many ways, there is a take-a-side mentality bred into all of us via social cues from a young age. Your football team, the city/country you are from, the education provider you attended. And as I've gotten older, I've become more and more convinced that in many instances, people view position switching as some sort of deadly sin. So they stay locked into their opinion. I have a mate who is pretty smart, but a lot of his ideas and beliefs come from his Dad, and as a result, you are no longer just breaking down his opinion, you are attacking the Father figure's. And over the course of our friendship, we have always had running debates on various things, and I was struck recently by his comment of "Well, you didn't always think that". The comment was made in a pretty smug way, like I had somehow lost the debate because at some point, realised that I was probably incorrect. I think this is the most damaging thing, like there is a certain level of pride taken in just taking A position. Not necessarily arriving at one through debate or critical thinking.
I wonder what the pay is for this position.
If it's usable, why would you recycle it? You can sell used devices. Apple even sells refurbished ones themselves. The only reason to actually recycle it is if it's broken, or so old that nobody wants it anymore.

The problem with taking stuff that's sent for recycling and harvesting it for parts instead is that's a huge quality issue. Usable devices should be re-used; if it's being recycled, there must be a reason. And unless you're going to do an exhaustive quality assurance pass on every single component of the device, you shouldn't be reselling it to other people. And doing a full quality assurance pass on every single component is not something that recyclers can really do. Apple doesn't want its users to end up with devices that have faulty parts, and the only real way to do that is to require the recyclers to actually destroy the devices instead of salvaging them.

Also, I find it really strange that the article expressly mentions that hard drives are shredded. Of course they're shredded! You don't want any risk at all of someone else recovering data off of those things. Plus the whole quality issue as mentioned above.

This may extend he computer's usable life but what happens to those computers once the student is done with them?

In my affluent neighbourhood, computers are often dumped at the roadside. Our council does have a recycling program for e-waste but I'm not sure of the transparency of the operation in terms of what percentage ends up in landfill.

I'm not condoning Apple's actions from the re-use point of view here but in the longer term, shredding computers at an industrial scale may be better for the environment than having a graveyard of 20 year old computers buried in a massive hole at the municipal tip.

One thing I learned is that you more and more have to act as an a-hole when dealing with customer service. Otherwise they just brush you off, even if you're have a completely valid complaint or problem. Probably because of the mindset that all complaining customers are part of that 5 percent.

I'm not happy with that evolution, but that's the reality that we're living in. Now when I'm dealing with customer service I start with being myself, nice and reasonable, but as soon that I notice that they're trying to brush me off, I switch to full assertive mode. I will not yell or berate the employee, I know most of the time they are just following standard scripts or procedures, but being really persistent and not letting go is more and more the only way to get a fair treatment.

That's really unfortunate, but I guess it's the logical conclusion of outsourcing to the cheapest call centers, viewing customer service as a cost only or paying customer support employees minimum wages. It forces genuine nice people to act a certain way they wouldn't normally do and don't feel comfortable with. For me personally, I know it's just an act, it's not personal, but it takes more energy than it should be. And it helps to have worked in customer service before to put things in perspective.
Depending on how far it's taken, the carbon tax could replace every other regulation of carbon-based green house gas emissions.

Of the twin vices of heft and tiny print The Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary has both. I've had my used (two volume) flea market copy of The Compact for over twenty years. The magnifying glass and slipcase were absent when I purchased but back then I could read the tiny text. These days, I default to +2.0 reading glasses and a 100w equivalent lamp though I could probably get by with less...I think.

It would be great to have as an ebook, but such a thing does not exist and if it did, I suspect the price would close to two magnitudes more than the $8 I negotiated for my copy...heft perhaps had the virtue that the seller was less inclined to lug those many pounds back to their car.

The format gallery has some lovely examples. I was initially skeptical, but this is quite nice.

For other people who might not look as far, it seems that the main advantage of this over other solutions (PB, Cap'n Proto, Flatbuffers, etc.) is that you can describe types that don't originate in the Kaitai ecosystem, and come out with code that can correctly read and manipulate those datatypes.

One slightly unfortunate item -- I don't see anything about using the generated code in a zero-copy situation. The docs are not very detailed on the point of the generated API, so perhaps this capability is present and just not documented in an easy-to-find way. This is not fatal, it's just a slightly less than optimal state of affairs.

Reading the stream API ([1]), it seems this is correct. There is nothing like Cap'n Proto-like direct-access semantics, nor even anything on the level of ZeroCopyInputStream [2].

Can you elaborate on any of these issues? I've been using vagrant for a similar amount of time and don't find that there are really that many problems with it, nevermind to find a daily increase with them. There are certainly alternatives, but if you're having issues with vagrant to the extent that that your question implies, then you're likely to have have issues with those as well.
Solar and wind cannot meet demand. Neither is there enough hydro storage.

The population will peak. What causes the peak? Lifting from poverty. What results? Much higher energy demand.

Regardless, current demand cannot be sustained by wind and solar. Not even speaking about future demand.

Gas is fossil. I prefer nuclear to meet demand for the foreseeable future.

I have found 10 fully-functional MacBook Pros (2009-2012) in my building's electronic recycling bin. I imagine that's fairly common.

One of those (MacBook Pro 2012 13" Core i7 2.9GHz 8GB RAM) became my main computer. It's sad to think it would have been shredded had I not saved it.
>The problem with taking stuff that's sent for recycling and harvesting it for parts instead is that's a huge quality issue.

Some people will accept lower quality at a dramatically lower price. I'm one of them, I buy used and broken items and repair them. That's the free market at work. Apple would prefer that I buy a new product from them thus this policy.

Now I have no problem with this policy if that's what they wish, but you can't have it and scream about how "green" you are in the same breath.
Yes they're usually right about whether it's going to rain or not, but often they're completely wrong about how much it's going to rain. They can tell you whether tomorrow will be warmer or colder than today, but the exact temperature still eludes them. Since the whole climate debate is about a matter of degrees, it's natural to be skeptical.

It may sound odd, but this is standard practice in most "recycling" environments. When you recycle an aluminium can it doesn't get refilled. It gets melted into new aluminium. Even if the can is perfectly good and could be sanitized, to ensure constant quality it is best to start anew from the fundamental ingredients. Seeing a macbook shredded looks horrible, but if those bits are being properly recycled into new components then I can see apple's point. Rebuilding from the ground up is probably much easier than picking and testing every little component to ensure quality.

If you own a car, it has steel parts. Some of that steel is recycled metal from old cars. We consider it new. But would you be willing to pay the same price for a car with a chassis harvested from an older car? What level of testing would be needed for you to pay the same price as the car with a chassis built anew? If that testing costs more than a couple hundred, the logical thing is to melt.

The article does mention that one of the big issues Google encountered was logistics.

It's one thing to scan a few dozens/hundreds of books. It's a completely different thing to do it for all books. Assuming you'd want to digitize 100 million books in three years, you'd need to process 91324 books per day, or roughly one book per second, assuming no breaks and 24x7x365 operation.

As the article said, Google poured hundreds of millions of dollars on this, so I'd wager it's not as trivial as it sounds.
Yes, Marina Square. I usually enter at City Hall and emerge at Suntec (there used to be a great Vietnamese crab and tomato soup on the 2nd floor of one of the towers, in the days of Carrefour), and so much stuff is called Marina around there... it just ended up being "Suntec" in my mind. That being said remembering which escalator to take out of the Fountain of Wealth was confusing until I remembered it was next to Entrecote.

The bowling alley itself was easy to find, but trying to get back out, I always ended up in the overground footpaths to the Ritz. Where it gets really special is when the F1 is on, at which point none of the ground level options apply and you need to reroute vertically. This is how I discovered some of the hidden rooftops: there is a line of Thai and Japanese restaurants out of the second floor of one of the Suntec towers, on the roof with trees and a pond.

It is, though, much easier to navigate than similar 3D areas in Tokyo or Osaka; in particular despite having been there over 30 times I still get lost in Tokyo Station, once emerging a full mile east of the track. I am sure the maps make sense if you are Japanese...
