How's your score on the minesweeper? :)
Well I do. Sometimes there's a product or a service that can provide value in a way I haven't thought about, or I haven't come around to specifically seek out yet. I don't mind seeing ads for such things.

What I do mind is seeing ads for stuff I don't care about at all, and if the ads get in the way of what I'm doing.
Maybe people just don't think your claim that everyone throws away perfectly-functioning devices is true.
Another corporate Apple Fanboi spotted.
The iPhone 5S was launched with iOS 7, so this question can't be answered by any consumer.
Is data science right for you?
Agreed. The second you use `==`, now everyone else who encounters it has to do their own research to see if you indeed meant it.

It's like every time you defensively throw in a nil-guard just in case: everyone now has to go "wait, can nils really get this far into the system?"

You just start wasting the time of the people experienced enough to identify it as a potential problem.
I understand your issues... But I'm downloading your code, how it is displayed, and whether I run it your way is up to me - I already requested it, and your server fulfilled the request. If you wanted contractual obligations, they need to happen before you hand over the content.
I think all of what you’re saying can hold for people who supported Trump before his election, to an extent. Now however? I’m not inclined to cut people who still support him any slack. He’s more than demonstrated that in addition to all of his many hideous qualities, he’s not shaking anything up. The massive tax cut, continuing with the wars, involvement in Syria, etc, are all pure status quo. The ways in which he’s demonstrably different are his open racism, misogyny, and anti-democratic, anti-immigration stances.

And polls keep showing that the people who voted for him do not regret their vote. “Redneck” may be unfair, and a slur, but the spirit of it in term of cultural identity (small-minded racists) has sadly been proven through his continued support.

> Apple has been systematically and consistently working against repairability and upgradability for decades -- pretty much ever since the original Macintosh. If they want to suddenly change now that's great. I'll believe it when I see it.

You say this, but your link shows that the 2011/2012 Macbook Pro is pretty high in the charts with a score of 7/10. Even then the biggest flaw they point out is the use of tri-wing screws.

I agree that currently Apple isn't embracing ease of repairs in its laptop lineup, but to say that they've been working against it for decades is a bit of an overstatement.
Not just supply side. Decom of old wind units is difficult, and they are mostly non-biodegrading fiberglass, carbon fiber, and polyester and epoxy resins, apart from their easily recycled metal bits.

So far, we are trying to repurpose them, but its not a great solution. We can only use so many turbine blade park benches.

Personally, I think we will look back on wind power as a curious mistake, in comparison to solar farms and nuclear.

The thing smartphones is, that many people actually do want to replace them every few years for a better camera, a better screen, or for some trending feature-of-the-year, like a fingerprint reader or wireless charging. Aren't most Americans replacing their perfectly working flagship smartphones every 2 years?

“Instant” is not a concept that makes sense with relativity. One observer’s “instant” is another observer’s “back in time.”

I’m not totally sure why this doesn’t result in spiraling into the sun as you describe, but I think it’s because the sun’s gravitational field is basically constant, and it’s changes which propagate at the speed of light.

This. While I will often block off two or three hour chunks early in the week for deep dive I often relent on releasing that time to yet another meeting. Having switched employers a few times in the last 5 years I find myself taking more and more time off between. It's amazing how much you can clean off your plate of learning, catching up and self improvement in that amount of time. Ultimately I feel as though it's personal debt accumulated from not having time at work to sharpen the saw continuously.

Most weeks 3 days of work and 1 of work related projects / study would net the organization I work for more meaningful relationship and production. It would also allow flexibility for weeks that needed additional stick time.

When I was at my first corporate job out of college my employer did a 9/80 schedule. So 9 hour days for 80 hours which meant every other Friday off. The extra hour for 8 days and a normal 8 hour day the day before being off was awesome. But it can be even better, I believe.

Does it just take a large, public display of it to be considered? Why is there still such a strong focus on 8x5?
The issue usually is not whether you or I are skeptical enough of news presentation, but rather what will the pragmatic societal outcome be when you add up the cumulative effect across a big chunk of society, consisting of people with large variations in intellect, critical thinking, etc., but who can influence elections with equal weight or convict people in the court of public opinion.
Partner up with a security engineer/team. The mindset that creates is different from the mindset that destroys. The gap between enterprise software and security has a very wide gulf. Security exploitation might require intimate hardware details lower than understanding how the OS works, things such as understanding the architecture of CPU as we have seen with recent speculation attacks on CPU. Nevertheless, tons have been published on security.

Rule 1. Trust NO INPUT
Rule 2. Trust NO INPUT
Rule 3. Trust NO INPUT

Outside of being compromised due to bad inputs, the other vectors are either logical flow emanating from complex system with different moving pieces, or stemming from bad practices such as using poorly vetted libraries, encryption schemes, running on insecure platforms, etc.

As someone who works in both spaces, I can assure you that the there's a strong strain between the demands of enterprise to release their vague requirements to market and the demand of security to keep everything together. If you try to do both it's easy to end up with some blindness. Hire a security team, the airline engineers don't do the forensic, a different team does and tells them lessons learned.
It's frustrating reading about how hot the labor market is compared to my personal experience.

I worked in a technical field with a number of very skilled, very good people. These are guys you can tell "hey we need this fixed" and they're capable of learning what is needed to do the job with very little hand holding, and they're great teammates too. At their job they were highly valued people and well paid. An acquisition and layoff occurred and many had trouble finding jobs, everyone who did find a job is making less now.

You see tons of jobs out there on websites and even "desperate" listings, but the hiring process takes forever, and these guys just don't get hired. Something seems off.

These aren't guys with traditional backgrounds, mostly "tech school" types, but they've got decades of experience and are very capable. The folks I worked with were mostly hired under the idea that heir resume showed they were capable and could learn, but I don't hear anyone talk about that anymore.
The hiring process seems to demand only people with EXACTLY the skills listed no matter how absurd the list, and employers would rather gripe about not hiring anyone than actually hire someone. Nobody wants anyone to learn anymore or take the chance on someone having to learn.... even if the job would seem to require it. It's a nasty combo of the market changing quickly and seemingly the market demanding only exact qualifications.... you can't have both.

I decided to change careers and move into web development. Needless to say that was a pay cut but I was ok with it as I am changing careers (and I really enjoy the work). The process of looking for a job was brutal. It felt like there was an artificial filter of recruiters and HR whose job it was to delay hiring and filter out all but what they imagined was a perfect candidate... but they don't tell you who that is, and honestly those folks have no clue what the day to day job even IS. It's like they pick the worst people to initially filter candidates.

I remember when recruiters and HR were deferential to the actual hiring managers, now it seems more the other way where people who really don't know the job filter what the hiring managers see... and even in at least two cases canceled a hire because they didn't like something. That makes no sense.

In the meantime everyone wants a "senior" (I put that in quotes because everyone's idea was absurdly different) and nobody wants anyone who is learning.

I was fortunate and found a job, first person that I felt actually tested my skills via a take home project hired me. After being hired now I get a bunch of contacts from places I already applied, even was rejected, sometimes for the same jobs they didn't hire me for. I wasn't good enough now, but "oh man he got a job" is apparently enough to get my foot in. Meanwhile capable people aren't getting offers. It's absurd.

The news about hot job market, lack of rising wages, and wonky hiring systems all seem very weird, and to conflict as far as a narrative goes.
Some work doesn't happen any faster despite worker productivity. The 40 hour work week isn't determined by the output, but rather by the income the worker receives. People are free to work 15-18 hours a week, but they don't.
You probably live someplace sparse without too much wireless interference, for now. Wireless doesn't scale. Go to a crowded office building or apartment complex and use it, or a conference packed with other Bluetooth users.

"there is no value in media"

So much this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_medium_is_the_message

What is reported is decided based entirely on what will hold the most attention for the advertisements. If media outlet attempts to act according to any other rule they are displaced by one which will maximize eyes on advertisements. (This is much like politicians who base every decision on getting more votes against politicians doing anything else.) The exception to this rule is when the media is directly used to further other interests of the large corporations which own it.
But it would be incidentally reduced by a carbon tax since that would cause some coal plants to be shut down.
Funding Choices and Contributor seems to be good choice for small-to-medium blog/news site operators. Compared to Flattr and others I see the potential here to fund a news outlet entirely with this services.
Sadly, the article glosses over what a mess RSS 2.0 was. There were actually three different, slightly incompatible releases of 2.0. It's not really relevant anymore because so many years have passed, but it used to be that in order to parse an RSS 2.0 feed, you'd have to know when the feed was created and parse it differently depending on the creation time.

I read a post about the contentious history of RSS several years ago, similar to this one, and that bit really jumped out at me. I'll see if I can find it again.
> Capitalism isn't there to fix broken democracy, democracy is supposed to limit capitalism

I completely agree in terms of how to practically go about fixing the problems, but we're not discussing that here.

You're right that broken democracy fails to limit capitalism; this allows people without moral limits to exploit, and make large gains from said exploitation. And you're right that fixing that system is what's needed. But lauding those who have exploited that absence of limits, for their apparent morals, is what's being discussed in this thread.

`true == [1]` is news to me
Not the parent - but I think it's because it can be seen as too subjective and too open for debate. Like: Oh, so one person opines that x, y, and z are not for them, let's debate it (or outright dismiss it).

And the resultant debate might well be polarising or destructive by itself.

Without knowing what the parent experienced to cause their take on this type of politeness I'm just guessing, though.

It is interesting because I think I see a cultural thing here too: in some cultures "I feel" and "I see" and "currently" are as firm as "unacceptable until it changes" - just worded in a way that conveys respect for the author. But in other cultures it is read as vacillating. Dunno. Guesswork, as I said.
There was a period in the late 1970s when North Vietnam was undercutting the US in supplying parts & replacements to some Latin American countries, I recall.
yep I’ve found that moderation is my key to keeping up with anything like this. If I don’t exercise too hard, I’m inclined to come the next day or the day after. I’m on a very similar time restricted eating now, and it’s been sustainable because it’s not too extreme. I’ve experienced great results from it as well. I eat whole milk by way of coffee and then eat 1000 or so calories between 12:30 and 7 or 8 pm.

I think people get confused. They see people they think are hard-assed, no nonsense types, but don't exactly get what's happening. They conflate how they felt with what was said.

For instance, Bob is just starting out as a junior dev. He gets pulled in by Carl. Carl is project lead and everyone admires him. Carl is smart, quick, and insightful. He's seen as a bit of a hard-ass, but he's never wrong. He cuts through bullshit. So he pulls Bob in. And he tells Bob, "I've reviewed your last commit, and here are problems X, Y, and Z with it. X causes this. Y is deprecated and B is how we should be handling the issue now. Z gives the wrong result for this set of cases."

And Bob leaves and Bob feels bad. He feels just reamed. Seemed like nothing he did was right. So he gets this impression in his head that Carl really laid into him. Fast forward 10 years and Bob is now a project lead and he wants to emulate Carl. Because despite how hard Carl was, Bob learned a lot. He's a lot better than he was back then. Now, he doesn't think he'll ever be Carl, but he's still good.

And Bob is reviewing Dave's code, and Dave's code is just as bad as Bob's was 10 years ago. So Bob calls in Dave. And he lays into Dave, "Just what the fuck do they teach in school now? Look at what you did here. You fucked it up. Don't you know about A? Or B? You have to do better."

And Bob feels good, he gave a "Carl"-style rant and now Dave will get better.

But reread how each approached their junior. Carl didn't attack Bob at all. He focused on the code itself. Bob internalized the criticisms of the code and took it personally. So when it was Bob's turn to criticize, he made it personal. Of all the lessons he was given that day, he missed the most important one.

So, you see "This commit is bad because of [X]" as polite, because you aren't the type to internalize criticism of work as criticism of you. People who do internalize it, see it as one and the same and feel that comment as "brilliant asshole".

The kind of brilliant asshole you describe, aka Bob, hangs on a bit longer because he's not bad at his core job, it's just that he has a tendency to handle people poorly.
Maybe you ended in the "people that put too much effort in anti-tracking" bin, and you get recommendations for those kinds of people :p
It's not a direct decision to fight. It's more that the weak language opens the possibility of action where none really exists.

What they see is a chance to convince you ("I see...") or refactor ("... in its current form"). What you see is someone who is being stubborn and just not making the changes. So, it leads to a lot of friction and talking past each other.

Yup. Bad memories for sure. That's why I love the makers who put threaded holes in two places on the rotor into which you insert bolts and press the rotor off with the bolts. Honda does it; I can't remember if Mercedes does it consistently or not.
> Every new model used a different battery.

In the 90s when the phones were rapidly evolving and the batteries where huge and often incorporated into the exterior design of the phone. My first Nokia ~1997 was the size of a large TV remote, the second was the size of a king size snickers, the third was smaller than a regular size snickers.

I had the Nokia 8290, and 6590 which were about 2 years apart and they used the same battery. They really didn't have that many batteries across their line after 1999:

I don't follow the field of iOS security. I only know that, like everyone whose computing devices handle sensitive data and/or money, I want my system to be patched ASAP if a vulnerability is detected. AFAIK, Apple makes no such guarantees.

Exactly. Whether it’s H1B abuse or tying work to healthcare, employers don’t want to compete for labor. When the Chamber of Commerce supports a socialized healthcare system, I’ll believe otherwise.

I reckon we'd all be surprised by how many people are killed by a lifetime of shaking hands under a linear no-threshold hypothesis applied to Newtonian force.

I really don't understand how anyone can bring that model up seriously without adding in "and this highly unusual choice of model is justified by ...". It is an extraordinary claim in my book.
To add to that - 5.75h free time might seem like a decent amount (although you didn’t account for things like washing, cooking, shopping which eat up much of the remaining time) but much of that time is after work when I’m normally fried from ~12 hours working/commuting/doing chores, leaving me incapable of anything that’s even moderately mentally taxing

The cost per employee for benefits is definitely a key reason why full time / full benefits wages have stayed relatively level. It's been hidden as well since folks don't normally understand how much their employer has to pay for their benefits. The book Catastrophic Care by Goldhill has a good take on this in my opinion.

That said - there is a reason to be optimistic about all of this. If this demand pressures pushes to increase wages it might provide enough of an incentive to create room for real reform here, as well as transparency around what is happening with benefits that could spur longer-term cost control fixes.
