> According to news sources, Wallet became Pay around February, and this email was received months later.

I think Pay replaced Wallet when you say as an app upgrade, but not everyone upgrades immediately or automatically; that may have been about decommissioning Wallet after the upgrade was available.
Time for some anti-trust regulations on the app store.

In the "mobile apps" market, Apple is an overwhelming monopoly with 66% market share [1]. Some stats:

- Total app store market revenues for 1st half (1H) of 2018: ~$33B

- Apple's app-store revenue for 1H-2018: $22B

- Apple's market share: 66%

They constantly abuse their power and stifle competition by:

1. Banning apps (this app, steam streaming, ....)

2. Stifling the iOS browser's compliance with W3C spec, to force developers into their app store.

The EU and FTC should have ample data to stop this abuse.

Please make a prediction about what you think the current carrying capacity is. Then, assuming you live 40 more years, it'll be long enough for you to see you were wrong.

People love their doom and gloom, but truthfully there is a lot of room left for human growth on this planet.

So maybe "carrying capacity" is not a myth, but "human overpopulation now" of the planet as a whole certainly is.
Although it's right that most GEMMs are for large-ish, sqare-ish matrices, small and skinny ones are actually important and targeted for some HPC applications. The relevant comparison would be with libxsmm [1], which also targets deep learning (on x86_64), though I don't think the released version does reduced precision.

These are wildly different businesses. Virtu is a global electronic market maker which in reality is more like a mature technology company than a risk taking hedge fund. Renaissance (Medallion specifically) is a weird fund that manages employee money. Citadel is a large, diversified financial services company that happens to have overlap with both of the previously mentioned firms. They have a large market making operation and offer a variety of different hedge funds that they market

Restaurant reviews are always a moving target because of the nature of the business. So many of them go broke and disappear over the years that some restaurant with legacy 4.5 star reviews might not be anywhere near as good as a new trendy one that just opened up that has no reviews.

Vice versa too.
As an aside, I've been working on accessibility on the side, as part of my work on sway[0]. My current goal is, as a sighted person, to be able to comfortably and productively use my computer for all of my normal tasks without any displays plugged in.

To this end I've been making plugins for Vim and WeeChat, and a script for sway:

OK I think I managed to find a good example for this: South Korea and Spain have comparable GDP's and population sizes (about 1.5T/60 million to 1.3T/56 million), yet South Korea is WAAAY more advanced technologically than Spain.
> the ability to select other users whose tastes are similar to mine that Yelp would then use to influence the ratings I see.

Google maps started doing this a while ago, I don't think their algo is perfect yet, but the personal match % has been more accurate than the general rating of the restaurants.
But don't conflate tough with what frustrates people. I spent 2-3 years designing and building 3D CAM software that presented MANY challenging problems from abstracting platform API's to optimzing toolpaths for cost effective manufaturing.

Not once did I get frustrated with the learning or implemention process. The frustration in a sr devs life (in my experience) usually comes from uper management putting "really cool" features on the back-burner to never be seen again.
The crowds bug me too, so I go to national forests instead. Lots more area, lots more freedom, many fewer people, likely to be much closer to you, and free every day.
App doesn’t care if you use a Notes competitor or not. What they care about is Rescue Time is using persistent location when it doesn’t need it. Lest people forget, Apple makes money from the App Store and doesn’t directly make money from Screen Time. Considering this an Apple conspiracy is ridiculous. Otherwise, why allow Fantastical or Bear or any number of apps that compete with Apple’s own?

This case is because of the performance implications of persistent background location services, not because it competes with Apple. That logic makes no sense anyway since Apple makes money from this app! And, admittedly, similar apps haven’t been blocked, so clearly this isn’t a business “strategy” but one of technical implementation.
Most gasoline cars will get pretty low on gas with a full day on the track. I track and usually end up topping up some after lunch. Most tracks have gas there, and charge like $6-8/gal.

Often with Tesla, year people leave at lunch to go to the nearest supercharger. If tracks added some fast DC chargers, it would be a nice boost.

Well I had to try this "Man or Boy" test. I do get -67 :-)

k = k - 1
return A(k, B(), *x1, *x2, *x3, *x4)
}
if k <= 0 {
return *x4 + *x5

return B()
}
}

print A(10, 1, -1, -1, 1, 0)

Only a few languages can do this without some form of explicit wrappers in the top-level call to A.

> Raising one kid yields far more purchases than a Tinder Plus subscription and a pack of prophylactics.

That was described by the parent post. That's why the push for immigration can be traced back to increased capitalistic opportunity.

> It is certainly not the "capitalism" strawman pushing aggressive gender politics.

Again, he did not describe that.

> You're also ignoring agency completely

No, he described it in sweeping generalities eg Why would someone have a kid in the current environment? - a direct reference to the wealth-education of the middle class, where you're smart enough to maximize, but not able to ascend leveraging those choices.

The primary issue with the rant is how he starts with "You" to mean a nebulous powers-that-be and then asks questions and makes statements from the perspective of the middle class.

Read it again for clarity. There's nothing about his comment that hasn't been said before.
And Isle Royale which is currently closed for the winter. The park is free to enter two days a season but that wouldn't include the $136 ferry ticket (unless you take your own boat).
> They're admitting to using background location to infer screen time

They use it for location data to display where you are using your phone. They also use that location data to infer other things as well. Your comment makes it seem like they aren't using it for location data at all.
As someone outside the tech sphere on either coast, that's all ML seems to be.

What I've seen from companies marketing to Higher Education is - we have a lot of data, you set arbitrary flags to the data that you believe indicate 'x' (or even better, they have pre-built data expectations) and you will get 'y' outcome.

And none of it is actually based on anything real. It's all anecdotal applied to extreme amounts of actual data.

And when I read about ML on here, it seems to confirm my experiences.

The Physics of a Perfect Pizza
My thought was that maybe this was a difference between British English and American English, so I looked up the word "fertility" in the Cambridge Dictionary.

It turns out that while the dialects share roughly the same first definition ("(of animals and plants) the quality of being able to produce young or fruit:"), British English has a second definition: "(of land) the quality of producing a large number of good quality crops".

In that sense, I can see why they used the word. They sort of invented a new definition, "the quality of producing a large number of good quality humans."

> The fall in fertility rate is not down to sperm counts or any of the things that normally come to mind when thinking of fertility. Instead it is being put down to three key factors:

- Fewer deaths in childhood meaning women have fewer babies

- Greater access to contraception

- More women in education and work

In many ways, falling fertility rates are a success story.
A state that has something like the GDPR is, by that very fact, overreaching.
I wonder how that works for something like the MotorCities National Heritage Area (that I learned about just now). One of the things they list are the Diego Rivera murals in the Detroit Institute of Arts[0]; is the DIA going to waive their entrance fee Sunday?

The article seems to suggest that the victim wasn't suspicious because he wasn't knowingly bitten or scratched and could have either simply not noticed or caught it via a saliva path.
It looks like they’re using the location API for both (1) screen time inference and (2) screen time and location correlation; and they’re using (2) to justify use of location while ignoring that (1) violates Apple’s TOS.

I agree that users ought to be able to use the app without granting access to location data (opting out of #2). But unfortunately, if Apple provides no way of inferring screen time without use of location, this category of app is impossible.
Maybe it is "periods with higher birth rates", such as the baby boom.

I don't understand what most of these points have to do with accessibility.

just as likely to disagree with you as anyone else.

That's mostly what people have been doing for the last most-of-a-century, and

Recently some strong evidence is going the other way - and should have been mentioned. For example, collagen disorders are highly associated with a marfanoid phenotype, i.e. extreme ectomorphy, and it turns out, do correlate to personality:
"Joint hypermobility syndrome was found in 67.7% of patients with anxiety disorder but in only 10.1% of psychiatric and 12.5% of medical control subjects. Patients with anxiety disorder were over 16 times more likely than control subjects to have joint laxity."

Donald Trump has testy exchange with reporters at White House
I'm hopeful that people can occasionally evolve and progress social systems for things that humans value. An AI is likely to have more intelligent defenses against people trying to change it.

Also, nearly all human social systems have some kind of human values as the goal. Even the worst social systems, such as a dictatorship that tries to make a society that never contradicts the dictator, if it achieved its goals, would result in a world where humanity survived, friends met, lovers loved, and people continued to have interesting (though suboptimal) lives. In a world where an AI uses humanity to bootstrap itself into a universal paperclip replicator, then the AI achieving its goals would probably result in the destruction of the biosphere of possibly the only planet with life (or maybe the destruction of many planets' biospheres), and the total eradication of anything we would attach moral weight or value to.
Nothing, in and of itself. Like most social problems, more than one variable affects gun violence.

>It's really crazy how crowded national parks are.

On the one hand national parks are usually national parks for a reason. They're often at least somewhat unique compared to other areas. It's also often possible to avoid the worst of the crowds.

That said, in a lot of the country there are often wilderness areas/national forests nearby national parks that have a lot of the same natural beauty with a fraction of the people. They may not have the singular attraction(s) that define the national park but they still have a lot going for them.

The nature of how we browse the web has fundamentally changed since the days when Flash was king. What is the point of investing in a gorgeous website if the audience has moved over to FB/Twitter/Insta and are now acclimatized to scrolling through endless content feeds for a slight hit of dopamine.

By Googling "cool sites", you've stumbled upon the crux of the issue. The site that ranks at the top is the SEO-optimized, but incredibly cookie-cutter, template-heavy Awwwards, which is a back-patting congratulatathon of creative directors at design agencies. So of course the websites featured are their own.

I'm sure at some point they wanted to feature real client websites, but chances are those were mini-sites created for specific campaigns, and were taken offline after the campaign ended.

Thankyou for this.

I make heavy use of HAProxy and use the silent-drop capabilities on my own personal sites. In addition to stick tables, I also use it heavily with acl's that pattern match on common attacks and enumeration.

My favorite stick table uses http_err_cnt to block enumeration attempts.

stick-table	type integer size 127k expire 30m store http_err_cnt
acl	abuses sc0_http_err_cnt gt 6
http-response	silent-drop if abuses

I also find it useful to define known bot user-agents and IP addresses, then add conditional ACL's to enforce my robots.txt, since many search engines just ignore it.

acl BOTS src -f /opt/.ha/bot.txt
acl BOTS hdr_sub(user-agent) bash url get lack ing team oog lurp ook rawl bot map dback ltx pider scan bmast robe ithub hatweb ansci rchiv null isco =

acl FILES url_sub /post /upload /images
acl PROT hdr_sub(host) site1 site2 site3

There's probably a more cpu efficient way to do the above. It was just a quick hack to make robots obey and is not seo friendly at all. Maybe you have ideas how I could optimize that.
The Rock didn't feature any parachute drops. Hummel came over by ordinary ferry, the mercenaries landed via helicopter, and the SEALs arrived underwater.
The app has a feature that allows you to see where you are spending your time on your phone. This could be helpful to get an idea about time wasted at work vs. commuting by train or whatever.

I'm not going to say it's super useful, but it has a use.. I would categorize this in the same bucket as Snapchat needing your GPS.

Anyway, the complaint is that they are using this data for more than features and functionality.

Their side of the story leads me to believe this is not the case, and only Apple knows why they think this company is abusing the data they are collecting.

With the next wave of automation, we're going to need far fewer seasonal farm workers, fewer cab drivers, fewer truck drivers, etc. etc.

I don't recall pinning them all on capitalism. That is a typical false classification someone engages in who wants to dismiss any real world analysis of the underlying causes. Then you go on to argue from this basis for the remainder of your commentary. I won't engage you further because you have misclassified my framing on purpose I could imagine and are falsely arguing against something I never stated. I detailed a range of different reasons why Birth rates are down. If you want to accurately refute any particular point you're more than welcome. But I will not engage your falsely framed retort in the least.

> You are pointing out some real problems

And yet.. you're trying to falsely refute them.
Meanwhile, you present nothing but 'Yeah you pointed out some real problems ... but dude.. it's totally nothing"

Agency is framed by social context. Does someone have the same Agency in America as Canada, Europe, Sweden, Japan, China? Do they express the same cultural/social trends? What happens when a country like China bans certain social activity? What about your agency then? What happens when China bans certain apps that have no social value whatsoever and will lead to a more impoverished state? What happens when a country is steeped in nonsensical divisive idiocy vs a mature country that doesn't tolerate it socially? Agency means nothing without context. Cultures are pushed through mainstream media in the west. If you deny that, you have something cognitively wrong. Agency means nothing when you don't exercise it and live your life based on populist trends which is what the majority of people do. Thus the term :

This is pretty backwards. If you want fewer people to visit, charge more. Charge extra to non locals if you’re so inclined. Don’t allow advertising, sure. But making parks free doesn’t make the problem better.
Agree entirely. If I had to do it all over again, I'd want a co-parenting website, to find a partner of sufficient character and grit to have kids with, but we'd both be free to date other people while raising our kids together. Who I want to have kids with, have a casual relationship with, or enjoy activities together with might not be the same person.

Social networks are part of the problem, but people not knowing what they want is also part of the problem. People are hard, and cannot be solved with engineering.
My intuition is the opposite of yours so I'd need some sort of data to get at the truth.

I think people tend to date people that look similar to themselves, similar features, similar faces, etc.

My guess is there's just generally a mix.
That is quite rad. Thanks for the tip!

Slightly related. Only a month ago I deleted my RescueTime account and the app from my Mac. With all the privacy issues lately, I finally realized how much data I'm sending RescueTime, and a made a decision.

I don't have a reason to mistrust them, but I also don't have a reason to give them this much of my trust either. A breach of the RescueTime database would be insanely invasive.
From this article https://www.motortrend.com/cars/tesla/model-3/2019/tesla-mod..., linked elsewhere in the thread, it seems as if the jaguar was using track tires while the Tesla came in with standard equipment the first time.
