I find articles such as this one to be absolutely fascinating. It seems that people like those in this article appear to be trying to gentrify what is mostly unskilled labour, adding some sort of intellectual doublethink that they pulled off from the chip on their shoulder which comes from not fulfilling their path to become a certified academic intellectual. Based on the title of 'owner' of these ventures I am quite curious how they financed these businesses.

Ultimately I think articles like these fail to highlight the strange mindset required to turn what was a defeat, and even possibly a likely scam based on the way most universities operate, into some sort positive outcome where they reclassify what was once a boring menial job into one injected with some supposed millennial intellectualism.

Apple really doesn't like repair shops that aren't "Apple Authorized Service Providers". They tried to sue a company in Norway that was sourcing "counterfeit" parts.

It looks like the Apple authorized service program may be dead, or at least on it's last legs. Their website makes it hard to find these companies, I couldn't figure out how to get a list.

This has always been the case for libel and slander and other misinformation. High-profile people have more resources to fight bad information (devoted supporters, real life social networks, money, lawyers), and they're more likely to have detractors who've tested their capabilities already. The risk to them is great, but they have more tools to recover.

The ones least equipped to defend against misinformation are people who have suddenly broken into the public sphere but lack the support systems to help their case. Typical sorts of people in this situation are fresh politicians (often local), viral 15-minutes-of-fame celebrities, and internet randoms who are called out online.
Even assuming that's true, the laws could change and the moment they do, Apple would need to comply with the tax laws. If Apple doesn't collect anything more than country-level location, and states start imposing taxes on digital sales, then Apple would have no way to comply with the law.

The repair process forces you to walk into the store, past all the new models, and wait for 10-20 minutes for your genius, while your eyes dance around all the wonderful products you could buy.

The repair isn't just about the revenue, but getting foot traffic to the stores. With a third-party repair model, like Samsung, all of that potential foot traffic goes to somebody else.

This is statistically true, one of the curious paradoxes of PhD work is that students continually consider themselves to be an except to the statistics.

Im not saying 'why publishing?'. Im saying 'why publish if I barely know if what Im doing will have some positive result?

Think of this example:
we are researching for a few months whether an arbitrary compound X has relieffing effects on people with headache, but since we are still researching, there is no concrete result or any slight evidence yet. maybe the compound will relief the headache in 30min but maybe it will make your nose bleed.

but there is this conference about headaches that is approaching and why not submit a paper about the work with some results? WHAT RESULTS? You will spend countless hours reading (more) about headaches and compound X to write the background of the manuscript while you still have to figure out the tests you will perform test your assumption.

you will work for weeks (under more pressure) with the hope you could publish something that is very uncertain at the current state.
Genuinely shocked that graduate programs remain stuffed to the gills.

You live off a meager stipend for about a decade and then, in your mid-30s, you go on the job market for the first time. Unless you're somehow in the top 0.1% of your field, you're probably going to be fighting for a tenure-track positions at any institution that will take you. Big dreams of teaching in the Pacific Northwest? Too bad, the only place that wants you is a state school in the middle-of-nowhere Arkansas. Once you start, you're now going to spend the next 4 years grinding and busting your ass to make sure you actually get tenure.

Meanwhile your peers are well established in their careers, have families, making 2-3x as much as you.

But they don't get to be Dr. So-and-so, so there's that.

Ah, I have fond memories of staring at pages of Xv6 code. I took the OS class, 6.828, which uses Xv6 as a reference, while an undergrad at MIT. While relatively simple compared to most anything else you could think up, it gave great insight and intuition into code style and idiomatic OS patterns for working on JOS, the more substantial OS you end up writing in that class.

As you do that, try also to understand the political/ethical worldview of libertarian ideas with respect to unions. Because I don't understand it.

With a strong union, there is no need for a minimum wage, as in the Nordic countries - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_wage#Collective_bargai... .

Many of the accounts I've seen about libertarian views of unions in the US are because the laws can give a union the monopoly right to negotiate on behalf of everyone covered by the union, even if not a union member.

However, that analysis always seems incomplete - the unions are also prohibited from many practices (including those legal in other countries) which, under a free market, they should have.

Why shouldn't a union be able to negotiate a closed shop arrangement with an employer? It seems little different than, say, McDonald's making a deal with Coke to only provide Coke products, and requiring that all its franchisee go in on the deal.
This is a late reply, but thanks for your input. I'll look into them further. What interests me is your replacing Dovecot + Sieve with your MUA; I'll have to see if I want to do that or not.
USGS: Kilauea Multimedia Chronology
That's pretty much happening in computer science in the US. Pay for CS faculty members has been rising significantly faster than inflation, and faster than other fields, although still not nearly as fast as in industry. A brain-drain of people at all levels of seniority to high-paid tech jobs is a big part of it, although increase in demand is another part of it (the number of incoming freshmen declaring a CS major is exploding, driving lots of places to expand their departments).

The same effects have also made long postdocs less common, and it's even possible to jump directly to a tenure-track faculty job from a PhD with no postdoc in between. Alternately, people seem to be doing a kind of "industry postdoc". You get an industry job, but one that lets you publish (DeepMind, Facebook Research, some startups, etc.), and after a year or two you either find you like it and stay, or you use that as a springboard to apply for faculty jobs, treating it as having been basically a high-paid postdoc.

Still plenty of stuff to complain about, but the job market looks far different than in the natural sciences or humanities.
If you are happy with Arduino or MicroPython, the M5Stack [1] blocks and ecosystem are pretty nice (and Lego-compatible). It is basically an ESP32 microcontroller with a display, speaker, sensors, and connectors in a 5x5x2 cm case. Documentation and build quality are not yet perfect but good enough for most applications.

> The T2 chip for what I understand it's a proprietary CPU that executes proprietary software, how can you consider that secure ? It's not different from the Intel ME in that sense, just another secondary processor that have access to all the hardware on the computer and that runs code that the user cannot control.

If it ran open-source software that wouldn't make it secure. Proprietary software means it can't be independently audited for security, but whether it can be audited != whether it's actually secure.

> Also for a security prospective it's not good, the main principle of cryptography is that the only secret to decrypt something should reside in the user, not in the obscurity of the algorithm or the hardware

Your "main principle" is incorrect, but you are correct that obscurity of algorithm is no defense. However the T2 does not rely on obscurity of algorithm. It relies on having a private key that nobody besides the T2 has access to (not the user, not Apple, nobody) and it combines that key with the one derived from your password. This means decrypting any of that data requires two things:

1. The user password, and

2. Cooperation from the T2 chip

This is strictly more secure than just relying on the password alone.

> This system is NOT secure, if someone finds a flaw that permits to extract the key from the T2 chip, and it's only a matter of time and resources before someone does it, your data is no more protected, they can decrypt and extract what they want.

This is incorrect. You still need the user password. If someone manages to extract the key from the T2 then they've reduced the problem back to what you'd have without the T2; namely, you need the user password to decrypt anything.
I used to get my distributions from Walnut Creek, then bought a few boxed editions of Mandrake and SuSE, for several years subscribed to Linux Journal since the yearly days, occasionally bought Linux magazines with CDs on them, did FSF donations a couple of times, nowadays every time I download Ubuntu I always donate donations.

Likewise on Windows apps that I use regularly like Notepad++, jAlbum, Sublime Text, Paint.NET, Thunderbird, Firefox...
The Vox article is also making a nuanced point -- that memory is constructed subconsciously.

So the insidious thing? Creating 100 videos with only slight political position adjustments, and thereby (even if the videos are later revealed as fakes!) shifting a voter's "gut" impression of a candidate.

I'd be amazed if we don't start seeing audio & video cryptographic authentication in the next 10 years. The subject of an interview gives me a box containing their private key, and video is looped through it and signed as we record.
Ok, so you don't see any use for TPOP when using 1Password then?
In the eighties, all engineering students at my university had access to an IBM 3090 mainframe. There were some CS kids who were way better than the admins at exploiting the system. (I don't remember the details, but the student newspaper once wrote about an exploit that required a coordinated attack with the mainframe of a different university.)

The admins were smart enough to befriend those kids and let them help manage the system. Better to have them to your side than to have them as an adversary.
Nice project :)

1. It will be nice to have the possibility to add videos to notes. Not just links to files. I mean video files that are inside notes and can be played inside micropad.

2. Are there plans to add premium (paid) features besides paid sync in your clouds or all functionality will be available to everyone?

Apple’s hatred of third party repairs isn’t because of the impact on revenue. It’s because of the possible impact on brand, and Apple is maniacally protective of their brand. If the repair shop does a bad job, or uses a non OEM part, then the phone now sends a bad message for Apple. Your friend picks up your phone and thinks Apple displays are dim or that the phone is a little rattly.
I kind of knew that people took Ambien for recreational use, but for the life of me I can't see why. The thing I hated the most about it was that I acted completely blackout drunk, but I felt perfectly normal and in control. Only to wake up the next day embarrassed about what kind of rediculous things I did or said online.

I can't see why anyone would want to do that intentionally. After it stops being able to put you to sleep, it is just a burden.
A good way to fight this is to cryptographically sign videos/audio. Might be a bit computationally expensive compared to a text message, but for very high-profile people, having a copy of the video/audio and it's cryptographic signature will be absolute proof against fakes. We don't even need AI algorithms to learn how to detect fakes in this case, it just becomes a matter of comparing hashes.

>If you mean something like whether it's just picking up ancestry markers for families which happen to be rich etc, there are a lot of methodological components which try to minimize the more obvious ways of population stratification affecting results.

Yeah this is actually what I'm interested in.

>The most iron-clad part of showing direct gene->trait causation is the 4 sibling-comparison studies, where you see whether you can predict the difference between 2 siblings; as they have identical ancestries, families, locations etc, their environments are near-identical in the first place, and since meiosis at conception randomizes genes between siblings, success in sibling comparison shows the genes must be causal. IQ GWASes have always passed the within-family test since Rietveld et al 2013, and this is no exception.

Couldn't this still lead to an overstating of the effect? So two brothers John and Jim have different builds due to genetics, John is a bit shorter and stockier and Jim is a bit taller and leaner. When they play with each other as children John usually wins when they wrestle and Jim usually wins when they play basketball. They both like winning so in highschool John joins the wrestling team and Jim joins the basketball team. Now if I do some gene testing wizardry on them as adults and try to determine the difference in basketball-skill I'll predict a large gap due to height genes and I'll get one. But part of that skill gap is due to environment (4 years of basketball practice) yet still getting attributed to genes.
I have a masters degree, bailed on a phD, and even then I didn't realize it quite quickly enough. My MS program at Berkeley was quite flexible, and it was easy enough to get the requisite math. I dropped courses like Intellectual Property (cross listed with the law school), Product Development (cross listed with the business school), courses I was enjoying and would have done quite well in, to take classes like "advanced nonlinear optimization", which were a bad match for me.

Yes, nonlinear optimization will help you understand how neural nets work, but trust me, you don't need to take an advanced graduate class full of PhD students on the topic. If you have the prerequisites to the prerequisites, you understand math well enough to read about gradient descent on your own.

To be clear, there are people who belonged in this class, I just wasn't one of them.

For a lot of people, the sooner you realize a PhD isn't a good match for you, the better. The problem is, the sort of person who has the grades, test scores, and academic mindset to get into a top PhD program is almost certain to be slow to realize (and accept!) this. Add in the fact that PhD programs have astoundingly high attrition rates compared to professional doctoral programs (atrition at UCSF's med school is below 0.5%, whereas many PhD programs have attrition rates about 50% - yes, literally 100 times higher!) and you start to get a sense of why a lot of seemingly smart people get kind of snookered on PhD programs.

One big difference here is that people who masters out of STEM PhD programs can often still have a career in this field, perhaps a better renumerated one anyway. Though from what I've seen, getting a PhD in lit isn't necessarily a good path for someone who loves literature or theater, either.
> This is a bit of a tangent but it seems to be a common trend now among labs to arrest trainees (particularly phd students and post-docs) in their positions as long as possible

I've witnessed this as well. One of the worst offenses I saw was a master's student in a 1-year master's program (basically supposed to be a post-bac / used for switching fields) who spent around 4 years in the same lab instead.
