It really is ALL about getting stuck together with people. Friendship is more about familiarity and mutual understanding than similar tastes or whatever initial compatibility people over value. Anecdotally some of my most meaningful friendships are people I legitimately hated but were forced to learn how to get along with.

Ah, but the market is not efficient. Apple's priorities for very specific chips with specific interfaces and specific power requirements very likely don't always map to their vendors' own interests in selling fewer products to a wider variety of customers on timetables that match their own capital investment cycles. Apple is lucky to be a big enough buyer to have a lot of influence, but if Apple can spend a few hundred million to build a pipeline for radio chips that save them a few dollars each, and take less space, use less power, and are more tightly integrated with their OS and SOC, then it will pay off very very rapidly at their scale.

And if it doesn't work out, then the market will still be there for them.
After ten years maybe, I have too much of an eclectic musical taste to get away with that.
It's a fair conclusion if you're willing to accept that the phrase "low-level language" has approximately zero modern examples.

Or maybe we should relax the definition of "low-level language" a bit?

"What does it matter if Uber punishes drivers who decline rides?"

It means that the driver is unable to choose their work, which was one of the key differences between a contractor and employee.

I've played with one of these puzzles in person. They're incredibly cool but pretty difficult. I worked for 20 minutes and was able to tesselate a single piece into a different position.

I might just be bad at it though. On the other hand, the challenge is part of the appeal to me.
It's a bit of a trade. I'd say it comes down to market efficiency.

We all understand why efficient markets are good. It allows large numbers of people to affordably access a variety of goods and services. That said, people rarely discuss the downsides of extremely efficient markets.

In an inefficient market, there are lots of opportunities for someone to step in and find a way to make money. For instance if shipping and storing goods is expensive to do in small quantities, and your area doesn't have enough access to tools, you could exploit that inefficiency and make some money by opening a hardware store. You would take on the cost of storing, transporting, and insuring a large quantity of goods, and you'd take advantage of economies of scale in a way that regular consumers can't. You make money, and your community is better off, because now they have a place to buy hammers, paint, and other hardware.

In a highly efficient market, people have already found most of the obvious opportunities to make money. If shipping is cheap enough and online ordering is convenient and secure enough, it could make sense for one entity to become so large and efficient that they dominate all of retail.

It's a lot harder to run a successful hardware store in 2018 than it was in 1978. You need retail space, employees, etc. Meanwhile your competition can exploit economies of scale in a way that was impossible a few decades ago.

Is this a bad thing? It's hard to say. It gives lots of people cheap access to goods. It also makes it hard for small players to break into the scene, and local economies are probably not going to be able to adapt very quickly.
> I don't want to be presented with a confirmation box every time I change something.

That's much broader scope than what's being discussed here.

> Nobody reads them - they just click the button that will make it go away.

That statement is false. Many people read and care about confirmations.

What you're talking about is very specific personal preferences, not what is generally considered "fine".
My problem is def that I do not have enough alone time. I used to have enough alone time before I had kids.

Between work, wife, kids, friends, family, and various drains on my time, squeezing in some quality alone time has become increasingly difficult.

Therefore, I have had to turn my stoicism onto detaching from my former desire for alone-ness (not the same as loneliness, I know).

If anyone knows how to make more time for being alone when you have young kids, let me know! :) I suspect I will mostly have to look forward to that some time in the future.
Which is kinda true. Most popular languages are C like.

Circonus | Senior Perl Software Engineer | Remote | Full-time | https://www.circonus.com/

Circonus is a software company that is changing the way the world monitors both IT infrastructure and the business it powers. Our SaaS and On-­Premise solutions enable companies to combine monitoring, alerting, event processing, and predictive analytics into a unified solution. Visualize any data, in any application, from any system, in real ­time.

Listen to one of our CEO Theo's talks to get an idea of what Circonus does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh4hLIWqw6Q

We are a 100% distributed and remote company, mostly across the US as well as Europe. You are also welcome to work from the Maryland office; most employees work from home.

We build web software using technologies such as C, C++, Lua, Java, Ruby, Go, Perl, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, Scss

We're looking for a Perl Senior Software Engineer with strong server-side development experience with Perl and working knowledge of mod_perl with Unix and RDBMS experience https://jobs.lever.co/circonus/0d485785-a66d-4de5-897e-96925...

All of our positions include a discretionary PTO policy, health insurance, gym reimbursement, a generous 401K, the opportunity for a bonus and more.
The first week I had mine I was getting tons of steps while I was sitting in the office working. A little googling revealed that Fitbit uses the settings for handedness versus where you're wearing your fitbit to tune the sensitivity of their algorithm. Long story short, I set mine up to say that I'm right-handed and that I wear mine on my right hand, even though I'm left-handed.

Their resting heart rate algorithm is pretty bad, too. My RHR goes from 56 when I'm sedentary for a day to 61 during the week when I'm working out regularly. Looking at the actual chart there's a nice line at 55-56 where my RHR actually is, but I guess Fitbit just uses a moving average.

I'm excited at the prospect of insurance companies using these algorithms to determine that I'm unhealthy.
>Q: I don't want to spend any real money. Can I still create a cryptocurrency?

>A: Yes! You can create your cryptocurrency on one of Ethereum's test networks, instead of its main network. First, change the network to Ropsten or Rinkeby in MetaMask.

So you can create fake crap currency for free! Free fake crap is much better than costly real crap, because it's not actually crap, while it's actually free.
> Social media companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter and Snapchat have created a marketplace for our attention, where we become the product sold to advertisers who subtly change our behaviour to buy products and services for their own benefit.

As opposed to what? There has always been a marketplace for our attention, and our attention has always been sold for profit. The only thing that has changed is the medium. Merely stating 'we are the product' doesn't make an argument.

> This type of persuasion is most effective when these platforms command our attention with a heightened level of distraction.

I should suppose adverts are most effective when they manage to distract us from what we were doing when we weren't paying attention to the advert, yes.

> We create the content that is then used to command the attention of our peers, which is then used to sell advertising space while the surrounding content is measured for engagement, and the results are analysed to optimize the next round of ad placement.

Might be new, but unclear how this has less upside for me than me consuming content which is written by someone else for the attention of my peers with the advertising space around it being sold and measured for engagement.

As for 'microwork', haven't we always done a lot of objectively pointless stuff, norms, social customs because together they make the world we live in a little more pleasant for ourselves? Why yes we have.

> Think of a dinner party. 10 people are invited. They form the party. How many of them are needed to cook? Not all 10, thats too many cook. It would actually be less efficient to have them all in the kitchen. So what if two of them cook? Do they only get to eat? Do they get more of the food? Maybe all 10 guests would have been able to cook, so who's lucky enough to be the chef and eat?

What if they rotate responsibilities?

Extradition is an extreme example and not applicable here.

My whole point is, just because the EU makes a law doesn't mean it can enforce it.

not at all:

from pcengines, I got:

https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2c4.htm
https://www.pcengines.ch/case1d2redu.htm
https://www.pcengines.ch/msata16f.htm
https://www.pcengines.ch/ac12vus2.htm

put that together and installed pfSense per their instructions:

http://pcengines.ch/howto.htm#OS_installation

You could get their wifi modules:

https://www.pcengines.ch/wle200nx.htm
https://www.pcengines.ch/wle600vx.htm

but I advise against it if you want to run pfSense, since driver support on pfSense for these might be sketchy/difficult to get working. Linux might be a better choice for a router OS if you're going to get those modules.
My personal recommendation is to avoid getting wifi onboard the apu2 and stick with this instead:

https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/nanostationm/

or if you want 802.11ac:

https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/nanostation-ac/

and just take up one of the three ports available on the apu2 permanently for your Nanostation.

Set this up, and you'll be happy for years. I consider it the ultimate DIY home router setup and I've experimented with many. This one takes the cake. The only thing I wish for is an extra RJ-45 port on the pcengines APU2 for some of the devices that are close by it (e.g. a mac mini I use as HTPC), but since everything or nearly everything has wifi nowadays, you don't get to notice this much. Worst case, if you need extra ports, hit amazon and type only "pfsense" in the box - there's a vendor called ProtectLi (https://protectli.com/) which sells 4 and 6 port boxes similar to the APU2, but with Intel instead of AMD (I'm kind of partial to AMD plus PCEngines is run by Americans/Swiss :). Those will work just as well though you're looking at spending more $$$. If that's no objective, then just get the 4 or 6 port ProtectLi.

Reply here let me know how it works out once you've got it setup the way you want.

You will miss them when they grow up and move away. Ignore your longing for "alone" time now. You're going to get plenty of it.
Me too, and I don’t rely on cloud or streaming services. If I really like a song or article or book, I buy it some form and then download (if necessary through alternative channels) a copy. I bought a bunch of audio books from Audible years ago, and taking the time to convert them to MP3 has made my life much easier.

Streaming, clouds and DRM protection are fine for discovery, but if you love something, archive it. Storage is so cheap after all!
Wind surfing has a surprisingly high fun/expertise ratio. You can start surfing on your own in as little as 2 hours of training. I was chasing dolphins on my second day of surfing.

Of course, like any sport/hobby, it can take years to master but even for complete beginners it can a lot of fun.
You don't need to solve the general case, just the specific one - add recording to dialer.
Fedora has taken over being my desktop OS for over 3 years now after spending nearly a decade on Ubuntu. And I have never been happier.

The polish and seamlessness of Fedora is simply miles ahead than a lot of other distros. It was the first distros to support NVME RAID hardware on the XPS 13 and has always worked seamlessly. Ubuntu has always seemed forced with its attitude of resigned acceptance towards systemd, Gnome and Wayland.

Given that Redhat directly employs most of the kernel and system devs that contribute to Fedora, I wish I could contribute in some monetary way (like a yearly subscription to Fedora with inbuilt DRM+media codecs)
That is incorrect.

In the US, legally thats fine. In the EU they classify it as personal information.

Holy Christ I do not want to “engage with a book’s content” any further than reading the words on the page. My Kindle already has too many garbage features (dictionary? I have one in my phone). All I want is a physical home button, a physical page turn button, and a quality display. My Kindle is a substitute for a bookshelf, not an iPhone.
Which is still not the "public domain."
I get that. I wish I emphasized "clearly" because it seems common practice to create a false perception of justice/security/privacy with almost every single online service now. I just don't understand how this practice can be the "right" of any entity not just private. This sounds like an excuse for people who know to despise others for not knowing.
Hmm, what does "virtual machine" mean if the "virtual machine" is implemented in hardware?

And, is nothing but actual binary machine code a "low level language"? I guess it's the lowest, I don't _think_ you can go lower than that... but someone's probably gonna tell me I'm wrong.
They are just protecting their business, which is legit. It's not their fault that the flaws of the system where never really fixed since it's creation >150 years ago. Copyright was never ment to work for such long times, nor were there things like franchises and trademarks when it was created. It's time for something new, something that is more balanced for everyone. But so far nobody came up with good solutions.
If you didn't nail the "why", you certainly came about as close as one can get.

From my personal experience, I think that we may be missing the "social clubs" from past decades. There's something to being a new person to a club or group that forces people to stop thinking of themselves as special/unique and defer to the group dynamic, and I think this is (in most cases) a healthy process. I've played ice hockey with the same group of guys/gals for ~15 years, and when a person joins our group, you can tell almost immediately if they're going to last: if they keep their mouth shut on the ice and let their playing do the talking, but off the ice they are sociable and have interesting things to add to the conversation, then they will be a long-term member. If they, instead, start whining about this or that on the ice or don't want to join in some of the off-ice socializing, they typically aren't going to last very long.

To the GP's point though, are the married people who have less friends the lonely ones? The article doesn't specify and from my own experience I'm much less lonely now with a significant other and less friends than I was when I was single and had many friends.

I suspect the lack of pair bonding and childbirth is driving the majority of the reported loneliness.
