One thing that sticks out to me is that they are fairly persistent on using "Apple" rather than something like "Apple and its security partners and subcontractors", which would eliminate most of the potential for doubt.
Curious, can you provide reasons or pointers for the suspicion other than the obvious (that they they do focused OS intelligence on specific targets)?

I'm not claiming they're not - I have no idea. Thus the question.
For anyone wanting a citation, China recently threatened to ban airlines from flying to China unless their global websites (including outside of China) were changed to list Taiwan, Hong Kong & Macau as part of China:

Several American airlines (Delta, American, United, Hawaiian) agreed to comply:

For one thing, Fooblat's wiki link alone cites a couple of dozen sources. It's not just about one book.

For another, this isn't really a matter of opinion. If I say "the widget was invented in 1979," and you've got a widget that was manufactured in 1973, then I'm obviously wrong, absent strong evidence that your widget is a hoax or something.

This is particularly scary when combined with Windows' propensity to commandeer everything you plug into it.

My only W10 machine is an HTPC in my living room, into which I've plugged a 4TB external hard-drive. That box has no other purpose than to run Kodi and serve up my media, so the primary drive inside the PC itself is mostly free and has plenty of hard-drive space.

Nonetheless, I periodically open the external itself in the file explorer to sync its contents with my backup drives, and discover that Windows decided to use my external drive to store logs, update files, and other garbage. It seems to have no concept of the idea that an external drive is for my storage, not Microsoft's storage.

That lack of separation between the OS update process and userland worries me that the same bug which wipes out user directories could extend to the external, as well.

I'd just as soon unplug it before letting Windows 10 update, but then there's that nasty habit of updating automatically without warning me...

I think the point is to assume good faith on the contributer's side, i.e. that they will follow in the letter and spirit of the OS license, so a CLA is unnecessary. Conversely, by putting a CLA in place, the subtext is "I think you're probably a scumbag (=person acting in bad faith) and don't trust the OS licenses used for billions of lines of code, so I'm going to hit you with a CLA preemptively".

As an interesting bit of context, the European legal system skews more towards the spirit of the law, allowing for shorter legal documents/contracts. Whereas the US legal system skews towards the letter of the law, meaning contracts end up being several hundred pages, littered by garbage like "including but not limited to", and things like that.
> Granted, you should be offloading most of those computations to the GPU, which will be many times faster. But I'd you're in the business of ML or statistics, I'd still way that more heavily than the difference in how long it takes them to compile code.

I don't follow the logic. It sounds like you're saying that if you care about that specific type of highly vectorized computation being fast what you really want is a GPU rather than any particular CPU. So how should that have a major influence on which CPU you choose? Particularly when the CPU which is slower at that is faster at many other things that aren't suitable for a GPU.
In addition to that, "consideration" doesn't have to mean "money" — in fact, consideration usually won't be monetary on at least one side of the contract (e.g. if I offer you $5 to mow my lawn, the lawnmowing is consideration). If your license requires people to give you attribution, that could reasonably be viewed as consideration.

(IANAL and obviously this comes with the usual truck full of caveats that all legal issues do, but this is my understanding of the general state of US law at least.)
Is this really that hard to imagine?

I am willing to bet that there are teams of spies who have infiltrated Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. Spies from US, Russia, China, Britain, Israel, Germany, etc, must have dozens of spies working as engineers are getting access to all that data as we speak.

To think that they aren't would be rather naive, in my opinion. If I were head of the spy agencies in any one of those countries, it would definitely be the first thing I would do.

Hey! Unfortunately it's a bit hard to find English resources - both in the sense that there aren't many to begin with but also the books are difficult to get hold of.

Classical Turkish Cooking by Ayla Algar is, well, a classic. People often think the recipes aren't descriptive enough. But also it's quite comprehensive and has a lot of history too.

Aegean Flavors by chef Didem Senol is a wonderful take on aegean cuisine in Turkey - highly related to greek food.

Oklava by chef Selin Kiazim is a bit more of a modern / upscale restaurant take - she runs one.

Claudia Roden's book is not only about Turkey but quite great.

Hope this helps!
It seems to happen regularly: First there were only the major studios, which each controlled their own talent from directors to actors. Then the talent became independent of the studios (I don't know when or how that happened). Then TV, then HBO and independent studios, then cable TV with hundreds of channels needing content, then streaming and also the infinite channels of the Internet, including YouTube and Twitch stars.

Not really, 2/3rds of the entire article, plus the title and subtitle are about index funds:

> Are Index Funds Communist?

> But when those thoughtful active analysts are replaced with passive index funds, the market stops serving that function.

> Indexing is cheaper, yes, but that's because active management has positive externalities, and if no one will pay for it, those benefits will disappear.

> But more fundamentally, there is an alternative view that the rise of passive investing will improve capital allocation

> The passive investors can't influence relative prices

> Their worry is that the growth in passive and quasi-passive products

> Or I guess pure indexing -- everyone passively throws money at everything that there is, with no judgment at all -- is an imaginable fourth answer, and is strictly worse than the others.
I see him as more of a Ben Carson figure personally (a legitimate expert in his field that often answers questions about things he knows nothing about), but I agree that it's a little disappointing when his critics make fun of something where he's actually knowledgable.
I'd love to re-read McCluhan with Twitter and Facebook in mind – but I'll be honest: I've struggled every time I've tried to get through his writings.
Of course, but without any software. Microsoft has done some interesting stuff in that regard so maybe there is an easier transition than getting all third party developers on board, but it's a tough nut to crack.

So if there’s a bunch of compromised boards, where are they? Which boards? If they truly are in a bunch of datacenters, and we know the manufacture and models, why hasn’t anyone just gone and looked? Or Why haven’t the leakers just provided the actual chip? It should have been as easy as ordering one.
If we are talking in the context of submitting it as a paper to a journal, then a problem is plagiarism. If we are talking about "does hitler have some non-genocidal ideas?" then like I said, not sure I care. "How was hitler so persuasive?" Interesting. "How did hitler outmanuever his opposition domestic and foreign" . Interesting.

But yes you have a fair point that just because Hilter said X doesn't automatically invalidate X. The old "the nazis drank milk so dont drink milk" fallacy

On average? Very likely. Probably.

For popular global brands in the lucrative consumer electronics sector - where good reviews are everything - I am not so sure.

> Whether the manufacturing happens in china or elsewhere is completely irrelevant to the actual quality of the product.

Completely irrelevant? What makes you think that?

Anecdotally again, most of those numerous bad reviews for Beats by Dr. Dre exist because apparently they tend to fall apart after only days of use. So much for western quality control.
It's definitely a show that unfolds in a lot of directions and that doesn't make it easy to zero in on a predictable narrative. Personally, I like that it managed to do that -- while still actually having a narrative arc and sense the writers had done their homework, unlike, say, Lost and Twin Peaks, which are probably two reasonable analogues.

Also, like a lot of character dramas, the most direct "about" is your investment in what happens to/between the characters. But I think you could fairly say the show is an exploration of
how we come to grips with limited control over our minds and emotions.

Your father's advice does not scale. Not all legal systems work the same way, and in some having the payee sign one is an indorsement by the payee that makes it payable to third parties (which will be whoever the bearer happens to be for a simple signature, an indorsement in blank). Whereas having the payee not sign checks, and having checks crossed as "A/C payee", are considered the better practices.

Or, to echo Drew DeVault somewhat: Don't sign cheques made out to you as the payee.

Mh, you're right.

However, there is a notion of synchronous Kahn networks, but maybe it is only used by functional synchronous and dataflow languages (e.g., Lucid Synchrone, ReactiveML). Compilation of such languages involve clock calculus (i.e. typing for scheduling) which I think makes it possible to compute the maximum size of a queue in the network (or maybe at least guarantee that the size is bounded?). This would mean that what you call rendezvous points would be statically computable (in the case of pure synchronous languages it should be easy as the maximum queue size is zero, or one depending on how we count).

Anyway, you're right that I was mistaken to think that it was an easy problem.

Either their justice system has incredibly low false positives (99% of people charged are provably guilty), or it's rigged.
Remember the "The Simpsons Already Did It" episode of South Park? I feel like all inventors have to have a similar "Nikola Tesla Already Did It" dread when they think they've invented something. Is there anything that guy didn't do?
I said organizations, Justice Stevens is not an organization.

Those organizations have no authority or credibility anywhere. Democrats care about what they say this week because they align with their political ideology -- which as I said should not be a factor in this discussion. Read carefully what I actually wrote.

Many people who want justices on the court who follow the Constitution disagree with Justice Stevens. That's just the way it is, and Justice Stevens was never a Constitutionalist Justice. You misunderstand him, believing him to be a "republican judge" when the concept of such a thing should not exist.

Those who hate Kavanaugh's "politics" are likely to get what they asked for if they are successful in keeping him off the court. Judge Barrett is so far to the right of him she makes him look like a communist -- and the knives are already out for her because she's a Catholic.

Judge Kavanaugh is actually somewhat of a moderate, if you read his decisions. He's simply unlikely to vote to keep Roe v Wade, and he's replacing the swing vote on that issue that has kept it in place for the last 20 years or so, and thus the knives have to come out -- Gorsuch wasn't quite so controversial (although they tried with him as well), because he was replacing an already conservative justice. In fact, Gorsuch is probably a bit less so than Scalia was. Scalia was a consensus builder, but he was famous for his absolute dedication to the doctrine that the Constitution is a dead document and it means exactly what it says and nothing further.

It does seem though that the majority of uses of "open source" describes Free Software. This is in line with the origins of the phrase as well - it was created to remove the confusion stemming from the adjective "free":

Or just reflash the firmware. They should, but most people don't reflash the bios and BMC firmware when they install a new server. In fact I routinely encounter servers that are 5+ years in service that have never been reflashed.

Fun thing, I was in the exact same situation so I told them I would only provide support if they switched to Linux (no need to buy new hardware) and got similar results: support call lowered dramatically to almost none (except when mozilla forces stupid changes on users in firefox, solved by dropping firefox for waterfox, or when systemd breaks something that work perfectly before update).

Instead of Newegg, for PC parts I exclusively use Microcenter now. When I was in Atlanta, there were brick-and-mortar stores on the north side. Now I just use their web site. My last PC build ended up being around $40 cheaper through Microcenter than through Newegg.
You might want to think about how you're selling yourself in these interviews. Imagine them sitting in a conference room going over candidates they have interviewed and talking about who they want to bring back for another interview and why. What would you want them to say about you in that discussion? Make sure to drive those points home through the whole hiring process (resume/cv/interview/etc).

With all of the well-known open source licenses, it's generally clear to the author up front what rights they are granting. With CLAs they are usually fuzzy by design: maybe the rights will be used to go closed source, maybe to sue anther entity, etc. (it generally depends on what's in the best interest of the entity who wrote the CLA) Sure, they're explicit in the sense that they say 'we can do pretty much anything we want down the road' because they have to... that's the point of the CLA: to grant the authoring entity the right to make decisions down the road without consulting those who contributed. Oracle is practically a textbook example of why this is usually a bad thing for developers/users.
Yes. Obviously.

Though those headphones are mostly in the same price range, and certainly not vastly differently priced.

They're pretty much all low-end headphones. Yes. Even the Beats by Dr. Dre who like to pretend they're not.

I don't think people realize how important this story is. Apple is about to take the single thread performance crown from Intel, who has held it nearly uncontested for, what, a decade or more? And they're doing it in a phone! Imagine what they could do on a laptop or desktop power budget. I'll bet you won't have to imagine much longer either, as I expect an ARM Mac within a few years.
>The thing about companies like Honda and GM -- they have a lot of momentum. That means they aren't likely to be on the forefront of innovation, but when they turn towards a new target, they will hit with massive resources and established global production capacity that a start-up can only dream of.

Exactly. It's the difference between a handful of dudes in a speedboat with some explosives and an aircraft carrier. Once the latter is aware of the former you can be reasonably assured who of will win. At most the former can hope to land a good sucker punch before the latter knows they're even fighting.

The core competency of GM, Honda, etc. is building cars. Once they decide what kind of cars they want to build they will do a good job building them as they intend to build them. They don't make rookie mistakes, especially in the logistics of spinning up production lines to build what they want to build. They've re-tool their factories every time a new generation or a new model comes out. They know how to do it right the first time, knowledge that comes from experience.

Shameless plug: I'm building Catch Notes (https://catchnotes.app/) for this

The idea is to capture notes/thoughts/todos quickly and send them to any service (Trello/Basecamp/Asana/etc...). For people doing deep work (programmers, designers, writers) you want to stay in flow but also be able to capture any random thought that pops in your head.

This project is a bit harder than ones I've done in the past because I'm trying to take it cross-platform (macOS first) and keep it native UI everywhere.

For the past few years I've been storing almost everything in Markdown and organizing files into yearly folders—I call it my "memex".

It ends up being pretty simple, but I end up missing some information that gets silo'd off in services like Trello.
But "a great action flick to go see if you are bored on a Saturday night" is what a Star Wars film is supposed to be. The franchise has never aspired to be anything else.

And I'd rather they at least take some risks than continue to regurgitate the OT. If you ignore all of the nonsense from redpillers about SJWs and Kathleen Kennedy turning it into anti-male propaganda, I feel like many of the the remaining criticisms of the film, while subjectively legitimate, can be applied in general to the other films as well.
