I constantly have to verify my iCloud password, despite having 2FA and Touch ID enabled. At least once a week on at least one of my three iOS devices. It's such a constant chore I would probably fall for this phishing attack.

I believe it is because my email address is a relatively common firstname@gmail.com, and people are trying to recover or guess the password. Perhaps there's some misguided attempt on Apple's side to increase the security if there's lots of failed attempts. I also get constant Facebook recovery attempts (at least they have a "Didn't request this change?" link), mortgage emails, bills, appointments, intra-family email threads, etc. I don't think they're malicious, tons of people are just fundamentally unable to type their email address correctly into a field.
That's like running everything as root or passwordless sudo. Seriously: don't do that.

It was mentioned in the article about the lack of formal education (specifically within the field of study) within software development. I would be curious to see what this would be like for a HN audience? What is everybody's story of how they got to where they are?
> It's possible to be a billionaire on paper and starve to death.

While "possible", the kinds of scenarios that lead to a starving billionaire are the kinds in which _everyone_ starves (ie widespread famine). If one's paper is actually worth $1B there are some sane people who would pay a large sum to buy it for a discount. Say $500M. I would argue that billionaires are able to live fundamentally easier lives than non-billionaires and most difficulties they face can be solved by 1) paying money or 2) accepting sub optimal outcomes (eg, not working on their business to make it outperform the S&P 500).

I do agree with a good chunk of your sentiment about socialized skills that allow the elite to recognize and interact with each other and the basic idea that managing large amounts of money is not fraught with perils (scammers, sales people, poor advice, open hands wanting "their share"). A simple example of that is lottery winners. They know how to spend millions, but not now how to make it last or make it work.
Windows Phone is now officially dead: A sad tale of what might have been
Such applications are not necessarily a problem - take a look at this Android one, for example:

In any case it should be up to the owner of the device if they wish to do this sort of thing rather than Apple.
I think a big thing people miss is that people like Gates and Zuckerberg dropped out because they already had a promising product. They still took a gamble, but they were past some of the hurdles and already had a lot of the needed education.

Which means your strategy should be going to school so no one gets on your case while you develop your product. And use that school to gather connections and talent. Foregoing school before you have even a mostly developed idea is idiotic. Not saying people didn't make it, ~2000 is a pretty large pool to draw from.
I don't think running a native application on a desktop is similar to running a sandboxed app on iOS. The security implication is wildly different IMO. I think a webapp is a more apt comparison.

Agreed, but it's a bipartisan habit to invoke the word "science" when you're in effect trying to call your opponents stupid. And it's a bipartisan habit to crush your opponents arguments under the weight of "history". As in "standing in the way of progress" or invoking historical bogeymen to end arguments (as opposed to making valid points).

All of the above are fallacious yet effective. Of course, good science and history classes would help explain those fallacies.

Point being, we need to be careful that we're not just indoctrinating people into our particular bad habits.

Can evolutionary theory even be taken seriously? It seems some people, especially in the ‘manosphere’ accept it as Gospel.

Yes. I hate testing in-app purchases, I will never do it on a device I actually use because it becomes a nightmare, especially if it is a recurring subscription. Endless password prompts.
Yes in a way. I have a parent LLC for all of my small ventures. That way, you don't need to go through the hassle of creating separate legal entities for every project. If the side project grows at that point you could also just spin off as a more formal dedicated entity for tax purposes and write offs, but then again, at that point it may no longer be a side project.
Hehe, same here. It wasn't so bad actually.
Here's a workable example that I came up with:

CREATE TABLE mt2
(
whatever Date DEFAULT '2000-01-01',
key String,
value String,
first AggregateFunction(min, DateTime),
last AggregateFunction(max, DateTime),
total AggregateFunction(count, UInt64)
) ENGINE = AggregatingMergeTree(whatever, (key, value), 8192)

insert into mt2 (key, value, first,last,total) select 'www.google.com', '1.2.3.4', minState(toDateTime(1498241729)),maxState(toDateTime(1498241729)), countState(cast(1 as UInt64));

insert into mt2 (key, value, first,last,total) select 'www.google.com', '1.2.3.5', minState(toDateTime(1498242729)),maxState(toDateTime(1498242729)), countState(cast(1 as UInt64));

insert into mt2 (key, value, first,last,total) select 'www.google.com', '1.2.3.6', minState(toDateTime(1498242729)),maxState(toDateTime(1498242829)), countState(cast(1 as UInt64));

select key, value, minMerge(first), maxMerge(last), countMerge(total) from mt2 group by key, value;

optimize table mt; -- compact the table and merge multiple rows with the same (key, value)

You have to add the date column, but you can ignore it.

The last query can be a view or even a materialized view.

It's unclear whether Vision uses machine learning behind the scenes though. It's kind of implied in their docs that it uses CoreML behind the scenes (which makes sense with the other things it does like Face recognition and object tracking).

The nice thing is it detects "projected rectangular regions" so even if the puzzle isn't aligned with the camera it still works.

I do wish I had more control though; it runs into trouble sometimes and there's not much I can do other than apply heuristics afterwards to determine whether I should throw out the sample or continue.

TLDR:

EPA top administrator Scott Pruitt announced he will formally sign a proposal to repeal the Clean Power Plan, an Obama-era rule aimed at slashing emissions from the power sector. A draft of the repeal argued the Obama administration's rule was illegal because it directed utilities to reduce emissions only achievable "outside the fenceline" of individual power plants, such as purchasing renewable energy or closing coal plants in favor of natural gas investment.

I doubt we all know all of them. But they tend to persist for long periods, and so are easily discoverable by reverse engineering speeches. It helps that some people are quite explicit about it. Either in historical retrospect, as with the Atwater quote here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy#Evolution_.2...

Or with "saying the quiet parts loud", where people who aren't as good at dog whistling drift into being more explicit. Or people who are explicit get pushed into saying things where the racial connection is more easily denied. The Trump administration's Muslim ban is good example of that. They started out advocating for a ban with strong religious and racial components. When the public and the courts said no, they iterated to something less blatant. They will keep rinsing and repeating until something gets through.
From the same boat, I concur with everything in TFA. Funny detail to me, I've been at this exactly twice as long as the author. Ten years together for my partner and I, now two married on top of that.

I'll add my experience in the hope it helps others. We should form a meet up, or at least a mailing list. I bet there are a lot of us here.

The Absolute Best Thing You Can Do in this situation: Learn to recognize and manipulate your own emotional states. Take control over what you bring into the room.

On the worst days, your partner will have little no of this ability themselves. Pick up that slack and things get better faster.

Read Covey, Carneige, and Cialdini for starters. They will together persuade you that you're much more susceptible to the emotion of a moment than you thought you were. And, you'll learn to see how others have controlled the emotions you've felt in the past, to drive your behaviors. It feels like magic, like cheat codes, when it clicks. And that click is the beginning of a real empathy for what you're seeing in them.

You'll also learn how to get someone talking effectively about emotions in a way that loosens the hold, and gets the logical part of the brain re-engaged.

Reading and talking are great, but there's so much more. Find a hobby or group that forces your hand to work nonverbal communication skills. You need somewhere to practice reading others' cues and responding with your own.

Work that long enough, and you'll start to see impending anxiety before your partner experiences the brunt of it. You'll also see the anxiety states they weren't telling you about, some of which they didn't recognize as anxiety either.

At that point, you've leveled up your own emotional awareness you can start leading your partner (mostly nonverbally, sometimes in detailed conversation) to raise their own. That inspires confidence. Confidence is what you want, it's the long con (ha), and a few victories in a row will let the both of you reach for new goals: things that seemed impossible months or years ago just aren't anymore. IMHO, that's the best life.

>>If you don't live in Capitol Hill or Pioneer Square (which face issues of rapid gentrification and homelessness), the local crime stats show that you are vanishingly unlikely to be facing even property crime. Now I really wonder what NextDoor looks like in my (predominantly black, including African immigrants) neighborhood...

This makes it sound like we live in the same area (Rainier Valley). Property crime is definitely a thing here and gun crime has been consistent - though limited - in the Columbia City area.

Pioneer Square is also a different animal since it is highly commercial and not residential.

Regardless, the Rainier Valley has plenty of crime. I've had my car stolen, my car broken into, and a townhome next to mine being burgled in the few years I've been down here.

We are, of course, undergoing rapid gentrification as well.

I honestly don't remember which OS they used, but not this wasn't something built into any existing OS already. The point was that the code that displayed the password prompt was outside of the kernel and kernel control entirely. The UI wasn't the important part, it was that the OS never got access to the password in the first place.

I imagine if you had a password prompt LED on your device that could only be lit up by the separate chip that does password prompts, that would help create an off screen UI.
Sorry, I was pretty hand-wavy with that because it was basically just trial and error until it worked sufficiently well.

I've seen this anecdote about 20 times now

https://www.google.com/search?q=bernays+egg+cake+mix
If they only report strangers that don't match their own skin tone (but not strangers that match their skin tone), then I agree that it's quite likely racism.

I was just curious how someone would address the issue in the way least likely to be misinterpreted as racist really. I mean, if the only strangers that show up in the neighborhood are from a different group than you and you alert on all of them, can you really tell if the person is racist? You can't simple say "mind your own business" to those people. They are just being alert to things going on in their neighborhood, which is prudent. Perhaps they are a little over-zealous, but that's arguably better than letting your neighbor get robbed.

All of the above is assuming the person isn't actually racist. If they are then screw them, they should be ashamed of themselves and ostracization is a perfectly valid response to their behavior.

Living in a vehicle can cost as little or as much as you want. It depends on your budget and wants/needs. You can build a simple van for a few hundred dollars or a huge overlanding rig for hundreds of thousands.

An inexpensive, decent van build can be done for <$5000. My bus cost somewhere around $50k so far, including the vehicle.

...and wealth is also correlated with marriage rates. The thread replying to you goes on about socioeconomic indicators, but a lack of parental resources could be influencing both poverty and lack of educational success.

To put it another way, if there are more single parent households this year and educational indicators didn't change, that actually sounds like a success to me.

That's not to disparage single parents. It shouldn't be controversial to say single parents on average have less time, money, and energy to review homework, go on enriching family trips, go to PTA meetings, or fight the school district when they make bad decisions. Single parents deserve a lot of respect for parenting through difficulty, but the difficulty does exist.
