i think maybe better advice is "work really really hard and find the closest commercially viable approximation to your dream"

there are plenty of stable, well paying jobs for all sorts of different skill sets in the entertainment industry. becoming a key grip or an audio engineer isn't a high risk career trajectory. the bigger problem with creative fields is that most of the advice kids are getting is misinformation coming from people who have to idea what the industry actually entails. the quality of art education in the us is fucking abysmal. imagine if you had english teachers who only cared about slam poetry and discouraged students from learning functional writing skills or a music teacher who never taught meter. i never had a single art teacher who taught any representative drawing fundamentals or even hinted at what was required to become an employable commercial artist. anything even remotely representative or commercial was frowned upon.

>Putting out advice, "don't do risky stuff" also doesn't harm real risk-takers because they won't take that advice anyway.

maybe but when you're only ever told not to do something it doesn't exactly give you a strong footing to take smart risks and further sets up passionate but under informed kids to be exploited because no one ever taught them how to value their work.
It seems pretty reasonable for an internet-famous blogger/tech evangelist? Why shouldn't bloggers communicate with a willing audience? Their fans like to pay attention to them, and such people do at least informally participate in their company's public relations.

Also, there are a crap ton of people who think lazily: “i love playing video games / i am so good at playing video games, that i should be a game designer. Look at how stupid these developers are compared to me!!”

Ive known several of this type. And they are terrible at understanding the grueling tediousness it takes to develop a good game.

Basically they operate on the superficial end of things and think they can grok the actual reqs to develop something.

(Same thing with pipe dream “app designers”)
I used to have a spotify subscription, but it felt weird to have nothing at the end of 6 months. I cancelled it and just started buying music regularly. I spend a lot less and I actually 'own' (ish) a decent sized library now.
Yes, but in a very different way, with a very different dynamic. While before, it was as OP said in that it's based on an aggregation of speculative sentiment from traders, it's now a pebble in pond ripple effect, where a panic of a few can trigger a runaway snowball effect MUCH faster than organic trading (algorithmic trading happens on the order of milliseconds).

Also, I didn't say it was better. IMO it's probably just as volatile/dangerous. It's just harder to predict as it's not as rooted in actual emotion/speculation.
It's important to not confuse Lambda for Lambda@Edge. Lambda can be executed in a total of 18 AWS regions (if you don't count GovCloud). More importantly, actually running your code in every region would be somewhat tricky, their architecture is built around you deploying to each individually.

Lambda@Edge does run on their CDN nodes, but it isn't quite for general-purpose compute, there's a long list of restrictions you can find here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/Develope...

If you're interested in the performance differences, I ran some comparisons using Catchpoint a while ago: https://blog.cloudflare.com/serverless-performance-compariso...

Lambda and Lambda@Edge also deal with things like cold-starts which impact performance irrespective of the breadth of the network. You can see some of those numbers here: https://serverless-benchmark.com/
This is pure ad hominem and says nothing about the substance of his argument.
I don't understand why everyone keep saying touchpad works bad in linux. I have 2 laptops:

* Acer Chromebook 720 with pretty bad hardware touchpad, but it works with linux OK (I prefer using mouse)

* Thinkpad T420, good hardware, works with linux really well. Supports vertical and horizontal scrolling, some gestures (laptop is from 2011, I prefer using touchpad).

I suspect it's because Apple line of products don't have good linux synaptics support or something like that?

Here is a guide on how to set up touchpad on linux for most desktop environments, xorg along with some troubleshooting tips -- https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad
You don't seem to understand what a union is. It's a group of people getting together to "say no to ridiculous work conditions". A union is literally how you join together to say no when you don't have individual power. The level of straight up anti-union rethoric on here without really understanding what a good union does is revealing.
I received those notifications like everyone and they were all sent purely by the app itself. Meaning you could turn them off just like any other app.

Seen no evidence that Apple is sending effectively system notifications masquerading as Apple Music.
> They are not building at the scale of the large automakers.

No, but they're building at the scale of the small automakers, for whom you don't seem to be predicting imminent death due to their inability to scale.

If Jaguar (which was your example!) isn't about to collapse under the weight of their low-volume inefficient processes, then neither is Tesla.

To wit: you're spinning. Pick a different argument, this one is old.

Neat. Hopefully it gets adopted. And hopefully it uses its own file-extension so I can actually tell them apart - I'd love to have, like ".svgn" for native svg.
The difference from software-rendered Quake 2 to hardware rendering was massive, not least because of the colored lighting. In some places, it definitely bordered on overkill.
The federal reserve would print the money. They probably have an even bigger interest in preventing the collapse of America's financial institutions.

It's still a part is the government, just one with extra layers of separation from the executive. Like the FBI.
And so does Google on Android.
Sure you could argue about side loading apps using other Android app stores, but do they provide timely updates and security as Google Play Store?

Not all transwomen are like this, but autogynephilia is a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanchard%27s_transsexualism_t...

"TERF" is also a word used to describe anyone who understands human sexual dimorphism.

There is no accounting for people's tastes. "Amateur" YT'ers may be upset about Google de-emphasizing their vids on the Recommended panel, but I'd wager that there is a significant audience that absolutely despises the low-quality, middle-school level "drama" content that fills the "Trending" page.

I appreciate early YT's role in bringing unconventional content to the fore, but we are way past that point. People are on YT today to make money. That is why so many videos are the same formulaic garbage as cable TV, just tweaked to reflect YT "culture":

"Kids react to [something]"

This isn't a particularly contrived analysis. Year-over-year quarterly financial statistics are extremely common, especially in company analysis since many filings are quarterly.

First, it makes perfect sense to have more general and more specific words. Second, fashion implies clothing and quick change. Gender identity is something very important to people, they don't throw it just like that. They get more offended over others having wrong gender expression. Small kids treat gender as something super important and get more relaxed as they grow from kindergarten.

> For instance, do you think that most females are statistically attracted to males just because it's normal, or that females can be conditioned to be homosexual if society worked differently?

Homosexual acts are more common in single sex groups like prisons. So yeah, humans have certain flexibility. Bisexual people would be more likely to choose opposite sex partner in homosexuality tolerant society then in the one where it is frowned upon and illegal.

> If not, then why not also apply the steps you use to reach that conclusion to gender expression?

Cause there is this neat trick where some or unknown amount of hormonal impact is extrapolated to all of gender differences as you are trying to do here. Or something completely unrelated being extrapolated at gender as you also do here. There was no biological change that would influence writing affinity, just social one. When women were all expected to be stay at home, some of their behavior was influenced by the lonely-whole-day stay at home person experience - that would lead to different gender expression too compared to males who went to work with other people.

That is why.

none of that is hard to believe. it shows clearly that apple uses its position to cause favor for its own apps.
I run mostly FF dev & nightly and I've had it happen to me multiple times. I'm assuming the Pocket getting re-enabled problem is the result of an internal update to the extension that caused it to re-populate all the defaults in the config.

The other config settings I'm going to be less charitable about considering there would be no rational reason for an update to ever change those values.
It wouldn’t immediately cause inflation, but eventually they would start spending that money under their mattress, causing the amount of money in circulation to increase.
> I might buy an argument if full Apple Music were bundled into the purchase price of an iPhone or Apple blocked Spotify

You mean like Siri only offers music from Apple Music and no other service?
This could be done by the system. Caller ID and a timestamp. Caller ID(s) tied to account(s). All transactions (interactions) logged.

I've always assumed this isn't the norm because incompetence, purposeful obfuscation, or both.
And it just occurred to me that if you have good cable bearings, you can anchor them to the bottom of the vertical holes and cut downward from the surface instead of upward from horizontally-drilled shafts.
> Like: did you want to write this, or did Cloud Flare reallllllly want you to write this?

Isn't most of this networking and self-promotion? It helps to announce if you have any kind of audience what you're doing so when the next opportunity comes long people will recognize who you are, what you've done? That's how I view all these posts.

It's the same when a startup posts a blog about a technology they've decided to use. You never hear a carpenter write a blog post about why he picked a specific type of hammer to do his job, but in SV/software/etc it seems pretty affordable (i.e. free) to kept yourself relevant in the eyes of strangers.
In addition, there's no shortage of competing services readily available. The only thing they might have to do is make it a separate, must-be-downloaded app. Anything else is kinda tyranny.
On the other hand, I am a bit annoyed that nearly every TV show feels the need to push an agenda down my throat in one way or another. Does every sitcom really need a gay couple now? Is that even representative of the population as a whole?

I may have a skewed view because of where I've lived (mostly the SF Bay Area and Seattle area), but yeah, it seems to be the norm -- both at work and in my small circle of friends, I see homosexual couples.

Even in my small (~30,000 people) hometown in Ohio, homosexual couples are prevalent and don't need to hide - my nephew recently came out as gay and I was surprised when he said how accepted it is in the community, it's been nearly 30 years ago since I last lived there, and at the time, being gay was a huge stigma that had to be kept hidden.

So in my view, what you're seeing in the media mirrors what's happening in society - homosexuality is becoming mainstream. It's not an "agenda" they are pushing, but normal life.

Alternative gender identities are slowly gaining acceptance, but even in the Bay Area it can be hard for a trans person to be accepted.

>This strategy makes you more susceptible to phishing

One mitigation is to use Firefox account containers.

If I navigate to what claims to be Bank of America, but the tab doesn't open in my "Banking" container, that's a huge red flag.

Also, as another poster mentioned, Lastpass sometimes fails to autofill. Unless a manager can achieve 100% error free operation (unlikely), even autofill managers will also have a risk of phishing.

I don't think there's one correct answer. For me, as an expert who's confident about my security posture (2FA, verbal passwords for vendors that can reset 2FA, backup codes stored securely offsite), I value the simplicity of Keepass.
> The idea that gender is binary is fairly reductive

Yes, that actually is the idea about having a binary. It's reductive. At the end of the day, a sperm and an egg have to meet for a population to propagate, and seeing as how the vast majority in a population that sexually reproduces have either set of organs that make sperm or eggs, it becomes naturally efficient to rule out who is mating material and who isn't.

For instance, a mostly heterosexual person is going to almost always be interested in copulating with the opposite sex, and it's convenient that most people of the opposite sex display gender that is mostly in line with the opposite sex. It's just that most of us really don't find it mostly useful to be using the word "most" when we're talking about things most of the time to acknowledge that mostly nothing is binary, so we decide to fit everything in to categories so we can assess them. If someone falls within a certain circle of a Venn diagram, then pragmatically they are considered within that category even if they don't perfectly match it.

> This is similar to the old way of approaching race science. X people are good at Y, and A people are good at B. We've pushed back on categorizing people by race and it's been beneficial.

We pushed back on "race science" because it's not scientific.

Right, but it's not appropriate for Google's AI ethics board. It runs counter to the corporate ethos, and that ethos of course has weight on the counsel they retain.
It's similar to all cloud companies. They provide infrastructure services first. Then they observe what services built on top sell best. Then they provide software as a service that competes with similar services on the their platform.

I think there's probably a middle ground here where there is a meaningful percentage of the ownership stake that is set aside for the workforce as a whole, with rebalancing as the company grows, and internally as people gain seniority or leave the company.

I'm not sure how those two things are connected, exactly, but all I'd prefer to say right now is that I am quite pleased with it. Negotiating compensation was one of the parts of the job search that I was least looking forward to, but it was quite pleasant, actually.
I find this to be pretty elucidating on the situation of Apple/Spotify. I'll admit Warren's suggestion had me raising a bit of an eyebrow but taking the time to understand Spotify's position a bit definitely gave me some clarity and I'm certainly less incredulous than I was before.

Given the debate at hand, this link is definitely worth a read.
At least he's saying something. You can be cynical and argue he's just trying to get out ahead before the poor decide to eat the rich. But either way, the US needs more people with a platform to be saying this kind of stuff, whatever their motives are.

EDIT: I would also like to point out that he's calling for a national state of emergency to be declared and for the government to step in and try and do something about the worsening inequality problem. A person with massive personal wealth who is able to enact things with their own resources calling for the problem to be tackled in the public sphere is a good thing too, I think.
I just noticed that.
Weird placement.

I guess it has to do with the layout of their hardware below it?
It's also not very deep. The unemployment rate has been at record lows for a while.
> Would you rather have hit all of your targets on time without working ridiculous hours?

I don't know. Would I have rather run a 15 minute 2-mile instead of a 13:30 2-mile on my APFT in college and been less sweaty? Would I have rather gotten a B instead of an A on that digital design project while getting more sleep? (Obviously, no one but me could possibly really "care" about either of those scores at this point.)

Taking it specifically to that work topic, would I rather have worked sane hours and shipped an acceptable demo on time or worked ridiculous hours and shipped a stronger demo on time? Even though I know that nothing about my life changed as a result of the latter (because we didn't exceed our minimum units sold for the "monkey points" to pay anything), I'm happy I spent those nights in a sleeping bag at my cube and shipped the best demo and product we could.

For things that I care about at the time, I feel happier and more proud in doing more than the minimum (perhaps even my best), even at the expense of extra time and effort for which incremental compensation isn't tightly/directly linked.
Not to mention, laying off people has a non-negligible impact to real peoples lives.
By "not all," you should say "nearly none." I can tell you must not know any transpeople.
> Even if betting markets can accurately forecast whether a hypothetical policy would increase welfare, that would last right up until they actually affect policy.

Or until there was enough money at stake that corrupting those involved in outcome measurement was deemed worthwhile given the probability and consequences of being caught and punished for that.

The more policy is at stake, the greater incentive to try to distort market price; the more money is at stake, the greater the incentive to manipulate the measures the determine settlement.

Plus, once you think you’ve detected someone manipulating settlement, sure, you could report your concerns to law enforcement. OTOH, you would perhaps be better off to not do so, and instead factor their interests into your own market participation.

I'd say Apple's iOS apps are mostly the best, and sadly also because of access to private APIs.

Never really digged the über dark theme of Spotify, used to be less dark —and nicer to my taste— when I started using it back in 2008 on macOS –when they _did_ have a native app.
They probably have seen enough bank robberies in movies to know "your money is insured"
It's probably something like a bimodal distribution.
When you look at the numbers you will see that it isn't so simple and other factors clearly come into play (social security disability is likely one factor).

For example, Georgia is the second youngest state with only 9.6% of the population over 65 years-old, but they have a below average laborforce participation rate of 62.8% [1]. Pennsylvania, with 15.6% of the population over 65 is the second oldest, but has a 62.9% participation rate.

Iowa is the 4th oldest state and has the 6th highest participation rate (68.8). North Dakota is 5th oldest and 3rd highest rate (69.3%). South Dakota is 8th oldest and 7th in LFPR (68.7%).

"From the days immediately following the Lion Air accident, we've had teams of our top engineers and technical experts working tirelessly..."

If they've been working tirelessly, then they should have understood the risks and grounded the fleet.

Either they understood the risks, but neglected to ground the fleet, or they didn't understand the risks and hence we can't trust the fix.

I also find it sort of nauseating that the CEO implicitly gets the message through that the fix already has been worked on for a long time, has thus matured, can now be fully trusted, and we are just weeks away from flying with a safe plane.

I don't buy any of it. Let's analyse this critically.

The MCAS still needs to augment the flight characteristics. There is nothing that can be fundamentally changed regarding this fact. We can only change the conditions under which MCAS activates and the conditions under which it is deactivated.

It still has to have the same authority for a nose-down and recovering from an erroneous high-magnitude nose-down will still be mechanically hard or require additional pilot knowledge and actions. The latter should be impossible without recertification.

The operational characteristics of the airplane are not matched with the operational controls offered to the pilots, by design constraint. The plane is thus unsafe and will forever be unsafe, without redesign and recertification, because with the constraints in place, they can only add additional information on displays, add more reliability by having the MCAS utilise input from more sensors, add more conditions under which the the MCAS deactivates, etc, but none of this attacks the fundamental impedance mismatch between characteristics and controls, as well as the lack of education for it. Deactivation also simply exchanges the risk of stalls for nose downs.

All-in-all, the MAX is simply an airplane with a worse flight envelope as far as safety is concerned, and nothing can be done about it.
