Which point?

Your claim was that the NYT was reporting on mundane events. In fact, the New York Times in that sentence is reporting on how the Chinese media manipulates and guilts the public by normalizing & praising extreme usage. Perhaps "manipulative" is a little strong, but it is indisputably an advertisement/endorsement, and all advertising involves some degree of scripting/manipulation.

The "whom do you trust more" is relevant only because the NYT did not quote from specific articles or broadcasts, so we're stuck trusting their synopsis. (And, as you've been saying, filtering out / correcting for their habitual biases).

And -- I wouldn't sign onto your strawman suggestion that one should ignore bias if the targets deserve it. The current US president deserves far worse than stilted reporting, but that doesn't stop me from being peeved at the media for throwing out their duty to truth whenever there's any slight chance to tear him down. My visceral reaction is to how you turn around the article with your initial "How many Americans...". This feels like deflecting the issue with a false comparison.
I’m utterly unconvinced that meat eating is inherently bad for the environment. The initial studies decrying meat production were fatally flawed and had to be withdrawn.

Better animal husbandry is needed, but not mass scale conversion away from meat.
For sure iMessage is huge in the US, and teens are at a time in their lives when social inclusion is pretty much #1 on the list of priorities. I buy that argument. It's that Apple Watch is likely only third on the list of purchases after iOS device + wireless headphones, and has much less social inclusion value, and at that point you've spent many teenagers budgets.
Why wait?

Indeed. I made the switch years ago and there's less hassle on the Linux side. The big vendors are just so control-oriented now.
Or anyone else’s for that matter.
Historically attempts to create a modular, universal OS that runs on any hardware haven't ended well. Such projects tend to collapse under their own weight due to scope creep and the resulting software is usually too poorly optimized for any particular hardware to make a compelling product.

Many voting machines being used still have USB ports wide open. It's absolutely horrifying!

I also don't like the new design of Macbook in which they merged the USB port and charging port into one. This really opens up huge security risks in my opinion.
But I swear these X-ray specs are legit and that you can learn to be a ventriloquist in only 5 days!
Unless you read and thoroughly understand the script first.
The whole idea is stupid. There's only two outcomes: the state votes the same way as the national vote, in which case this doesn't matter, or the state doesn't vote that way, in which case you're spiting your own state's voters in favor of voters elsewhere. Obviously they're all hoping to trick some other state into spiting its voters, but there's a bit of poker going on: if you can't spot the sucker at the table, it's you.
> (1) Apple has delivered software which rips CDs with the OS for 18 years now

I would be surprised if iTunes survives this one.

> (2) this feature not only doesn't block any number of ways to block ads, but Apple provides an API for blocking content (including ads) with both macOS and iOS.

Apple's content blocking API is less flexible and useful than the more powerful general purpose API it replaced in the Safari 12 lockdown, which proves the parent's point.
This is just one of the more convenient installation methods, like homebrew, of course, we can also compile and install directly.
If I recall correctly, items are priced based on their rarity, which doesn’t change. So an uncommon thing is 800 vbucks (~$8) up to 2000 for a legendary item/skin.

"generate native makefiles" (I prefer Ninja myself) - this is what used to build software
That would make sense. Maybe someone on their mailing list will take note (I'm just a lurker). If you want to see something really cool, look at the APL video for Conway's Game of Life on YouTube. If I recall correctly, Jon Scholes made that video a few years ago. I don't know him, but he was supposed to be an APL wizard and an all around good guy from what I've read. I was sad to read that he passed away recently.
Now we just need a better DSL that can generate Cmake files.
Micron and Intel: Fishy?
Given what happens to USB sticks in my household (needed fairly often), you may still be at risk of a family member opening it and using it should they need one in a pinch.
But the jailbroken phone comes with iOS and the custom Android home screen doesn't. I'm not seeing your argument here, unless it's "stock iOS isn't flashy" or "jailbreaking is cool".
Fascinating and if you think about it, it's hardly a surprise.

Kids want to be cool in front of their peer groups (I think all of you have experienced that period in your lives, don't bring up yourself as an exception, it's not contributing to the discussion).

Kids want to be part of social clans and groups.

It's hard to dispute the above 2 statements, so the conclusion that iPhones are the preferred choice due to
a. Coolness factor
b. Everyone else is using it / walled garden / iMessage

is hardly a surprise.

I would love to see the discussion project onwards to the future -- what implications does this have for when these 13 somethings become 23 somethings with a job and have to buy a phone.

Are they going to switch to Android at some point?

Does majority of the growing population get used to iPhone at an early age, which means we will see an uptick in iPhone adoption in the coming decade?

I find these questions far more fascinating.
> It would be nice to have a conversation about where capital efficiencies lie generally in technology. My feeling is that it is still in some sort of user-generated content.

If this is right then the recent EU directive with the link tax, upload filter and censorship machine provisions will kill consumer internet startups in the EU, permanently.

> Maybe there are investors who want to line up outside your door to do your thing capital efficiently.

Another way of putting this is that operational excellence is a good moat. Pg talks about this repeatedly with his insistence that most startups fail through poor execution than anything else, through avoidable mistakes. This boring focus on operational excellence, on putting best practices into practice reliably and repeatedly. That’s what software private equity portfolios like Constellation Software do. Make big boring profits.

I stopped reading when the author complained about being able to "buy reposts and shout outs from feature accounts and influencers." Isn't that exactly what being an influencer means: people paying for shoutouts? So it's ok when you're getting paid, but it's fraud when you're paying someone else for the shoutout?
While 4B people don't have access globally, it's astounding to me that affordable broadband access is still an issue even in the United States.

Hermetic Builds. ... Our builds are hermetic, meaning that they are insensitive to the libraries and other software installed on the build machine. Instead, builds depend on known versions of build tools, such as compilers, and dependencies, such as libraries.

No P.C. BS, why are you leaving? If you can get them to speak candidly and you gather a few of these "exiters" observations, you will typically find big problems festering which are keeping an organization from growth and meeting strategic targets.

> a formatter that contains zero options

Why must the formatter be opinionated? Why should a single form of vanity be forced on users? If my software were so opinionated nobody would use it.
The FCC says that I have seven possible ISPs at my home. Never mind that three of those are just different levels of service from AT&T. And one of those is Sonic that just resells AT&T for more money at lower speeds (not their fault, they have to ride on AT&Ts lines because AT&T won't let Sonic into their cabinets).

And two of those are wireless broadband providers who don't actually service my house (although they do service within a mile of me). So really I have two choices -- AT&T and Comcast. And I'm one of the lucky ones that has two choices. And even luckier that one of those is Gigabit.

So even for my house, with Gigabit service, the FCC report is still grossly overstated. I can't imagine how bad their data in rural areas is.
I have no doubt ECT is very beneficial for many people with refractory depression, but I suspect the memory loss may be correlation and not causation.

I think the memory loss might be unnecessary collateral damage, perhaps due to a lack of precision, and future ECT advances may reduce the memory loss while retaining the antidepressant effects. I'm also not aware of any research indicating that the antidepressant effects of cannabis or NMDA antagonists like ketamine are connected to memory. But I'm definitely no expert in either field.
Where did I say that was my position? My comment was purely an accounting claim; there is little opportunity for spin.
FWIW, your compiler will not sign the code so notarization doesn't come into play at all.

I got a question:

So lets say you visit a website p0rn.xxx without a VPN, but this target website indeed gets HTTPS version of encryption, in such case, does your ISP know which website u visit?

Another case, when you connect to a VPN, your ISP indeed know you connected to an IP right?

Any more similar cases to let me learn more about what data gets encrypted and whats not?
A lot of the drivers behind Brexit have a tenuous relationship to facts. There are some legitimate reasons to leave, but there are also self-interested parties telling people the lies they want to be told. And "mistaken people believe this" is no support for a position.

The thing about rich people moving to places with lower taxes and poor people moving to places with more services is that it's the sort of thing that seems intuitively obvious until you actually think about it, and you realize it's like arguing that lakes are impossible because water evaporates.

It's not that water doesn't evaporate. It's not that poor people don't prefer more services and rich people don't prefer lower taxes. It's that everything is not one dimensional and there are other factors that outweigh that one by enough that the lake is still full of water.
Python also has version compatibility issues, such as: python2.x, 3.x. Also need the user to install the specified version of python

Either the vendor needs to invest in support, or you need the community to come together and build support like with Allwinner chips (which are dirt cheap, hence people building mainline, blobless support). Apple doesn't invest in Linux kernel support, and their userbase isn't motivated to do so either :/

i see latency is still on the roadmap, when i test it in my roadmap, it didn't behave so badly but there was still room for improvement when compared to older terminals like xterm derivatives. there wasn't a release back in may 2018 when i made my review, and it seems you made three (!) since then so congrats on that. any word on how latency improved or worsened since then?

Interesting that DuckDuckGo has it first.

Increasingly I've found if I know what I'm looking for (ex: a specific article or web page), DDG is quite good at finding it.

Google still excels where I'm looking for info on a topic but not sure what I need. (You end up treating search terms like labels on a venn diagram whereas DDG is more traditional, using search operators to prune the list of possible sites)

> Personally, I don't care about people's subjective opinions or what makes them happy. I just want to be able to easily understand what the code does.

I read that as only caring that people are forced to do what makes you happy. To me that sounds extremely selfish, perhaps psychotic. Different things make different people happy. I try to be objective about that.
Because selling drugs are hard and risky? You get caught and puff gone all your money, you also go to jail. It really suck to be in jail. That's why.
I see how this can help protect against outright malware. However, what if there's a flaw in the heuristics, and some malware slips through the cracks? Sure, they can fix their malware scanner, but will they take the time to retroactively scan all software with their new and improved scanner? Will they even store every single notarized app on their servers for this to be feasible? Or will they mandate re-notarization every now and then?

So many questions, hopefully Apple answers these soon.

Edit: phrasing
That's true in a very short term sense.

Over the long term you can either find some freelancing hours or get a job that offers a different expectation of worked hours and a different amount of pay.

So if you're out of balance you can fix it to do more of the job you want and have more leisure hours too. Or less of the job you don't want.
Absolutely. I was just thinking, perhaps naively, that a high-level Secret Service agent would be a bit more cautious and would think "I better report this thing to my superiors and not touch it at all, just in case", even if they know nothing about technology. You want cautious and paranoid people in a job like that.
> The 15% of income has a cap. It's something like after 60k EUR in wages you don't pay anymore.

...at which point progressive income tax starts kicking in badly.

> Also, only 7.5% comes out of your paycheck, the employer pays the other half.

Guess what, the employer pays 100% of your paycheck, including your vacation, pension, healthcare and taxes. It doesn't really matter to the employer how the cost is labeled. That's why you get to charge more when self-employed.

> The final cost is comparable.

Comparable? It's almost double if you don't take any care. Also, what if you don't have children? It's apples and oranges.

> The 15% is only if you participate in the public system - the private is not tied to your income.

Caveat: You are forced to take part in the public system unless you earn well or you are self-employed.

Huh, I did not realize that.
I really do love what Alacritty is doing. I've been using it as my principal TTY for a few weeks now, and it has been a joy to use.

Thank you for all the hard work. It might go unsaid sometimes, but it is not unnoticed!
But it’s not extreme usage! It’s perfectly normal usage. I don’t think it’s healthy to go straight for the smartphone in the morning before even getting out of bet, but lots of people do it. That was the point of my “how many Americans” comparison: using an app before getting out of bed is completely unremarkable, so why is the NYT calling it out, and why are they using such bizarre language to do so?

If you’re saying that they’re just repeating the People’s Daily in an attempt to show that China is manipulating people with weird language for mundane things, I think that’s way too subtle to belong in ostensibly objective reporting without something explicitly calling that out. I also don’t trust the translation to accurately portray the character of the original. It’s extremely common for English media to use stilted translations of mundane Chinese phrases (and I’m sure this happens with other languages too) in order to portray something as exotic or weird. See the recent “Breed Ready” nonsense for an example. That bad translation originated with the programmers, but none of the reporting mentioned that it was in fact a really bad translation of a fairly mundane term.
The whole northern hemisphere is already experiencing things like extended winters/delayed spring, unusually wet and dry seasons, more intense summers and winters, more frequent and stronger typhoons etc.

It's here, it's happening. It's going to start driving up prices of fruits and vegetables, and impact other economic activity very, very soon.

It's not "if" but "how much" it's going to effect us
Delivering to resellers or dealers lots may count. Their accounting is known to be... creative.
"When" is also a big question. Or what else is occurring "when" the when occurs. Or even how accurate the models are this time around. Yes, there are big questions.

Folks seem to talk as if doom is imminent, where to buy property inland to survive. Mad Max talk. That's ridiculous.

I remember going home from a college class in 1990 and breathlessly informing my folks that yes, global warming was occurring, it was imminent. 30 years later its obvious that what was predicted hasn't happened. Not even close.

Not denying the science, don't make any mistake. But I'm not a huge believer in imminent catastrophe anymore. If what they say is going to happen happens it's generations, not decades we are likely talking about. Not that this makes it any better, not that we shouldn't do something, not that what scientists overwhelmingly believe won't come to pass.

But the hysteria has been overblown, I've seen it. Maybe it isn't this time but cherrypicked appearing video with scary music doesn't really convince me at this point.
Maybe you can do unemployment:

https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/ei/ei-regular-ben...

It says the following:

You may not be entitled for benefits:

if you voluntarily left your job without just cause

Just document when your boss berates you and then use that as cause with the Unemployment office. That will give you more time to look for a job. Maybe you can contact them and explain your case.
By 'work' I mean including the tradeoffs. Most of those took a good chunk of money for ever-smaller value. A headphone jack costs a very small amount of money, a very small amount of thickness, next to no weight, and still has a lot of value.
I, too, entered a search query, pressed go, and witnessed absolutely nothing happen. Turns out, you just have to wait a bit. It scrapes Craigslist in real time from the client, so you have to wait a bit for results to pop up. It'd be nice if they had a loading/progress indicator.
