But my dna can now be matched to me - That is a breach of privacy today, or at least and end run around legislation that attempts to limit the spread of genetic information.

We should think really carefully about this! My uncle’s right to check out who his long lost cousins could put my genetic information in the hands of a potential employer, insurer, or government. That could be really bad.

This is similar to the Facebook scenario, where it’s not just your privacy you are trading away for whatever benefit, but those of people related or near you.
Ah, I took several sellers to mean target, jet, etc. My mistake.
Sure, in the same way my neighbors infringe on my rights to blast music at 4am.
Not to mention white collar workers have to the luxury of being able to request standing desks, mats, anything for ergonomics.

It absolutely is. See this animated chart of birth rate vs child mortality rate since 1960 (press the play button in the lower right).

https://www.gapminder.org/tools/#_state_time_delay:172;&mark...

African nations (blue bubbles) are lagging behind the rest of the world, but the trend is clear: declining infant mortality results in declining birth rate, often with a delay of just a single generation.
Two come to mind immediately. For one, they don't allow you to say 'NO' to their constant update nag prompts. The only options are install update or remind me later. The second is the sneaky update prompt during the unlock screen. It is designed to look identical to the regular unlock screen and the 'remind me later' option is designed to blend into the background. Indeed there is no easy way to even tell if the text is clickable. There are plenty more in MacOS too.

>As for phones slowing down as time goes by, no shit - they're hardly likely to get faster as iOS becomes more complex,

Heres an idea to NOT slow them down - Let the user reset them to the factory state.

> but Apple goes to extreme lengths to support older phones in a way that no Android phone manufacturer - including Google itself - even comes close to.

If slowing down phones to the point of becoming unusable is "supporting them", then I would gladly do without their "support".

>Personally I think it's ridiculous that Apple doesn't at the very least allow developers (i.e., people who have paid the $99 yearly fee) to downgrade their devices to a previous iOS version,

I don't feel like extorting another $99 (on top of the insane profit margin that ends up in a pile of cash - i.e. not invested in creating more products or towards apple employees) is an acceptable solution in the slightest.
Swedish historian Peter Englund, writing about French and Belgian WW1 front-zones in the early nineties, claimed that the risk of tetanus-poisoning was still highly elevated if you happened to cut yourself in such a place, and that in damp weather the smell of rot decay was still discernible.

I always found that hard to credit, but the man is otherwise always sober in reporting, so perhaps not.
No, they explicitly made this a conditional handout this year, which is very much a termination of the original plan. UBI researchers have generally considered this a failure already (not to mention that many economists think UBI cannot work, anyway).

"Finland has actually reversed course on that front this year, adopting rules that threaten to cut benefits for jobless people unless they actively look for work or engage in job training."
Not sure about DNA testing.

The other two examples are true. Across the Atlantic polygraphs are regarded as a comedy technology and breathalyser tests are sufficient grounds only for arrest and an actual blood test.
This kind of screening is extremely fucked up because average people are terrible statistical reasoners. A 99.999% accurate DNA test will find mostly innocent people if applied to a database of tens of millions of people. And even without corroborating evidence, juries will convict on the DNA because average people aren’t wired for this kind of statistical reasoning.
That's a shame. I have had a few generations of Airports. They were always very reliable and easy to setup. Any idea of how long they will provide security updates?

Closed because Stack overflow is not for discussion.

What SO needs is a forum - not an ephemeral chat but a forum whose topics can be linked to the questions that people want to discuss.

Dude seriously what the hell are you talking about?

Almost anyone who gets employee-level equity in a standard DE C corp will receive such a small piece that the voting rights are largely irrelevant. I was a sub-1% shareholder in a recent M&A transaction where a place I'd worked was getting acquired. I didn't like the terms. Too bad it mattered exactly zero what I thought.

The real question is why a company that's taking a bunch of capital is incorporated as an LLC? That's a rookie mistake no founder associated with any reasonable incubator or investors would make.
What “we” want is a bunch of kinda aligned stuff to accomplish reasonably similar goals.

I don’t think SO wants people to treat people the same by starting with the assumption that I am like you. I think they want the opposite. I think they want you to stop assuming things about the person you’re talking to altogether, and start baking that caution into your interactions.
This is a very careless thing to say. Most health problems are probably due to accident, contagion, sedentary lifestyle, and old age.
I've actually had this argument with someone who was attempting to force the use of a framework because "I just feel it's easier."

As a good faith speaker, I agree with you. A native speaker should be self aware enough to not confuse an unsupported opinion with a "feeling", nor should we dismiss feelings.

However, frequently, feelings are used as a poor substitute for rationality. Therefore I reject the argument that feelings can't be debated or argued.

Does this mean they will eventually quit supporting Time Machine over the network in macOS since they don't sell their own Time Capsules any more? Or will they continue to support the feature on third party NASes?

In any case I guess that means no hope for an APFS update to Time Machine to make backups faster and more stable.

I really appreciate the SO team in bringing this up and considering this as a priority issue. Many people have been the "third group" as mentioned by "sigstoat" above, just because of the hostility.

>there's also the third, silent, probably much larger group, who neither asks questions nor answers them.

>it seems as though the single authoritative, comprehensive answers is what helps those people the most.

I hope something good comes out of this effort from the SO team.

However, I just hope that this effort to be lenient though doesn't lead this site from being a fairly reliable site for learning purpose, to becoming "Quora 2.0". i.e far too many duplicates and far too many low-quality questions, that it actually drives away the current expert crowd away from the site.
Your post either doesn't really get what's going on with the engine thing, or is misrepresenting it.

If you're an airline and you want a 787 from Boeing, they'll offer you a choice of engines: you can get either the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000, or the General Electric GEnx.

The current issue is corrosion and fatigue in the blades of RR Trent 1000 engines, which has nothing to do with the bleed-air versus bleedless thing. And isn't the first time Rolls-Royce engines have had problems in recent years. The Qantas incident in 2010 involved an uncontained engine failure of a RR Trent 900 on an Airbus A380, and similarly triggered a massive surprise maintenance burden for A380s fitted with Rolls-Royce engines. That's what 787 operators who chose Rolls-Royce are facing now, though the majority of 787s delivered have had GE engines.
When I tried an early beta (of 10.04) I was unable to find the mosquitto client tools in the software store. Neither does it show up in either list you linked. I guess it was left out for other reasons.

At one point there was a setting in the software store to show all available packages. It has been removed.

At present I am only aware of command line tools for finding S/W that includes all available packages. (`snap` and `apt`) I guess Ubuntu are dumbing down Linux. They have succeeded. I think it's dumb.
I don't know if this is the commenter's intent but isn't there a potential false positive issue with DNA testing?

Something along the lines of if only 0.01 percent of the world's population can match a DNA sequence found that still leaves us with a million matches where I just made up both those numbers.

Electricians typically have a five year apprenticeship and apprentice pay is a percentage of the journeyman rate, for example I think a fifth year makes 80%. I think getting in unions can be hard, some more then others. NYC's Local #3 for example is notoriously difficult to get in.
>European cities seem to have a less difficult time.

European cities had the good fortune to lock in a healthy level of density as "neighborhood character" thousands of years ago, so that the same sorts of structures Americans read as the rapacious excesses of a new era of unfettered capitalism and runaway inequality (i.e. 5-story apartment buildings) are instead seen as historic. They also aren't in a position of having to unwind the "mistake" of certain neighborhood communities existing.

>In other words, go back to what the world was like before cars.

The places we would invade to "go back" to, and the places we would abandon to "go back" from, are now all occupied by humans with voting rights and a preference for the status quo. Not to mention that the population is simply larger, and more concentrated in metro areas. The city centers abandoned during suburban flight were quickly claimed by low-income people of color, and also a bunch of extra people were born in (or migrated from farmland and small towns to) suburbia.

>We practically used to, until cars encouraged development to spread out.

The tenements of pre-car industrial cities were so traumatic that we still have the scar tissue today, in the form of wildly overbearing zoning and building codes. The Progressive movement's obsession with making sure buildings have enough light and air and open space, which holds back San Francisco from even European-level density today, is rooted in the outrage felt towards living conditions 100+ years ago, which the car saved us from.

Obviously there's a healthy middle ground and it's frustrating that we don't take it, but our culture has the memory of what it was like to live too close together, and quite likes the ability to spread out.

Can AI help us defeat nimbyism?
I have a slightly different take on this.

While I agree with the general idea that there are more ways than wages to earn wealth, I think the advice is more general: focus on ownership. Figure out how to buy or create an asset and work on improving its value through your labor, capital, or other real (non-financial) forms of investment: time, attention, promotion, whatever. This advice is surprisingly general and has made a lot of fortunes. Think in terms of the business being an economic machine, and you as its tuner (devs will be surprisingly used to this view of things).

House flippers focus on ownership by buying a house, improving it, and then selling it.

Private equity acquires companies, "fixes" them, and then sells them, often back to the public markets.

Venture capital acquires promising stakes in young companies. They put in a lot of sweat equity in board meetings, advice, introductions, and follow-on fundraising to make their portfolios worth more.

Anyone who owns a house gets rich if their house appreciates. Especially if they use leverage.

You can do this all sorts of ways. Build vs. buy is an important dimension.

Where I disagree with JL is the general idea that investing heavily into a single company with high uncertainty and little control rights is a great idea. The main reason YC took off is largely Jessica in my opinion, marketing the program exceptionally well to talented people who knew no other way than to work for wages at a company. It worked great for them (the YC partners) because they became investors in 1000+ companies, so it's virtually certain that, given the caliber of people they're able to convince to apply, that they'll have a few billion dollar "hits". The situation of an individual employee with only one company's (startup's) stock is quite different, and in my opinion, much worse. So maybe not such great advice at face value.
Or maybe they just closed their eyes.
I think this article is wrong wrong wrong. because it’s putting equity first.

options are a lottery. do what most inspires you. it will give you the most satisfaction and also the most skill (doing what you love and being really good at it go hand in hand). Then figure out if a startup is right for you for all other reasons.
That's part of it. The other part is that it has become a pop-knowledge meme - Reddit & Imgur style - that DNA tests are nearly worthless, are almost never a sound means to convinct someone, and that they mostly just convict innocent people when used by the police. That immediately becomes the go-to parroted premise anytime discussions like these occur, without exception. It's bumper sticker forensic science knowledge.
Mm in my view they don't need a forum, they just need to get out of the way of the community. The tools are all there; they've designed them well. It's just their imposition of arbitrary unhelpful rules that's the problem.
Yes, it's mentioned in the video mentioned in the article.
Prior to this, it was increased from $79 I believe.
I'd be guessing they'll be pushing iCloud for this kind of thing in the long term. However, Time Machine really only needs to be client-side dumping to a disk of some sort, so there's no inherent reason it couldn't work on any networked file share (other than Apple crippling third-party file shares on purpose, which I don't believe they do any more)
threads like these make me despair about ever dating ever again. as a society we should be concerned about what tinder and bumble are doing to us, but -no one- has the power to stop it because it appeals to such base instincts.
yes but by the time they are newsworthy they aren’t option lottery ticket worthy. unless you are coming in as VP.
There are public databases that allow you to specify your DNA haploids and will show you matches. I linked to one in another comment. They likely used that specific site, although there are other sites that provide the same functionality.
Not an argument against, just an observation that it's unlikely to be part of a realistic solution to the problems we face in healthcare. Interesting point about emergency care costs. Do you have a source you could share?

Your kind of answer is precisely why I find SO useless.

When a user asks a question on X, it would be better to first assume that he knows what he’s freaking doing.

E.g. yes there might be valid reasons for inserting 500 MB as a string, and myself as another user desperately searching for an answer to it, I get pretty annoyed when I see answers for a Y instead.

SO contributors should answer the freaking question first. Can it be done and how. Otherwise the answer is of no use to people having the same question but for a different problem. Not to mention that I’ve seen questions closed as duplicates.

This is why I rarely go to SO for answers. I don’t want an opinionated forum, I want a mailing list where people assume you’re a grownup that really wants a solution to the question and not something else.
It doesn't even have a favicon!
Just read the article and LoL there's zero effort on bi/gay hook up apps... just post the hottest pic of your 20 to 40 (maybe on up to 50)yourself .. face or body pic and boom filter through to find the ones your into.

Another interesting thing you can become old news(after months of having the same picture in your town) yet if you travel 10 to 20 miles down the road your new hot news and the instant gratification of lots of prospects continues.

Hiring a ghost writer to do the work on a bi/gay hook up is laughable. Though wow str8 app dating has gotten so hard guys are hiring ghost writers and fakes of himself to chat up/seal a date. WOW thats ridiculous lets kill these apps and meet the old fashion way!!!
Congrats with the win!
It was an enjoyable demo!
Well, I guess I won’t be renewing after this year.

Walmart just recently started doing online ordering with next day pickup, and my wife loves it. We never shopped at Walmart before, but it’s so convenient now that we don’t have to go into the store that they’ve lured us back.

I find there’s fewer and fewer things I need from amazon, and video seems to have more and more upsell movies mixed in with the actual content you’re getting with the price of admission. Not to mention that I can’t filter “I want real books only” now that I bought a Kindle.

Once you’re not using Amazon anymore, it’s amazing how you can get great deals from whatever the number 2 website is that sells whatever you’re looking for. For example I was looking at buying some Pemmican bars today, they have “free” shipping on Amazon but are ~$2.60 apiece. The second site on Google has them for ~$2.00 apiece with free shipping on orders over $30. Starting to feel like less and less of a good deal.
This isn't my opinion, it's more like "business physics". Any company without network effects is going to have escalating acquisition costs as they have to convince more highly indifferent users/customers to come onboard.

This is why Weebly is a 360 million dollar company and Uber is a 30 billion dollar company (100x difference). Uber is building a monopoly that almost completely precludes competition. There simply isn't anything close to this in Weebly's business model.

Blue Apron is a good example of what happens when CAC gets out of line. Check it out.
Some people are using "just looking for friends" as a filter. They want the person who talks to them to be ok with being friends first before they switch to being romantic.

There is often an element of self-deception too. "I'm not the sort of person who would use a dating app, I don't need it" You see a lot of "I'm just trying out this app to kill time" people too.

Other people use it as a built-in refusal. They can say "Sorry, I'm just looking for friends" when they are asked on a date by someone they aren't interested in. When someone more appealing asks them out no one will complain that they aren't following their "just friends" rule.

Dating is full of interesting meta-behaviour like this.

Subject: Resignation (2008)
It really is unfortunate. I’ve owned two Airport devices: an Extreme from 2004 (UFO shape, opaque white model) and the current model that I bought back in 2015.

Both have been entirely painless and have performed extremely well. The older of the two served for a decade without so much as flinching the whole time. Software support for them has been great and as far as I know, no Airport has ever been subject to mass exploits.

I’ll keep using my last gen extreme for the time being, but I don’t look forward to shopping for a new router when the time comes. There are plenty of options with great specs/performance but with nation-states and botnet owners exploiting huge numbers of routers with increasing frequency I worry about getting caught with a vulnerable unit. The firmware quality that many mainstream router companies ship their routers with is shockingly bad.
Thanks for clarifying that. You are right. Feel free to correct anything else.
(I ran out of the time limit to edit the post with your corrections.)
Hmm. None of the major software companies around here track time. I know that it’s common at enterprise software shops where you are billing hours against CLINs and things like that. But it’s definitely not at all common at SaaS companies to track time.

I think your confusion comes because online dating isn't dating. A date takes potentially a couple of hours at max. Online dating refers to the process of searching for someone to date via the internet. A date can take an hour or two. Looking for a date online can take hundreds of hours without any results save for a few catfish scams.

They explored a lot of factors to do with gender in a data set of several years' worth of public pull requests on GitHub. One of the more interesting findings was that women's pull requests get accepted more often, but that a couple factors can strongly affect that, including whether the person reviewing the PR knows the author of the PR is a woman:

For outsiders, we see evidence for gender bias: women’s acceptance rates drop by 12.0% when their gender is identifiable, compared to when it is not (χ2(df = 1, n = 16, 258) = 158, p < .001). There is a smaller 3.8% drop for men (χ2(df = 1, n = 608,764) = 39, p < .001). Women have a higher acceptance rate of pull requests overall (as we reported earlier), but when they are outsiders and their gender is identifiable, they have a lower acceptance rate than men.

Dude, all improvements to modern life since the middle ages have been due to capitalist advances. It predates and I would claim was a key factor in scientific revolution as well, in making resources available to clever gentlemen of leisure and learning.

If you don't like capitalism, may I suggest it is not the process of prosperity creation itself, but the lack of percieved fairness that troubles you?
I'm a little offended that you'd assume my question to be tautological, by which I in turn assume you mean rhetorical. Seems to have generated some good discussion.
