> I'm more curious as to _why_ our decisions become dominated by one factor as we approach abundance.

I would speculate that it comes down to the availability of too many different "classes" of products and services, which are often self-exclusive. There is only so much time in a day to consume a limited amount of these products and services. People's time and attention span is the limiting factor.

Let's say that you are in the market for entertaining yourself in some way. You can entertain yourself by riding on a rollercoaster, by watching movies, by driving a sportscar, by hiking, by doing photography. There is too much choice, and you eventually pick only one or two of these activities and they eventually become your "favourites". You become addicted, you prefer buying only high-end, specialised equipment, and you skew the market of that product accordingly.
I use Facebook. I can't help myself, it lets me see what people are up to, especially those that live far away.

But it's a swamp of virtue-signalling, one-upmanship, and best-foot-forward deceptions. It's like high school all over again, except more so.

I wish it weren't available.

Right, but again, it means you're implementing two separate interfaces. You can implement IList without implementing IList<T>, and you can implement IList<T> without implementing IList.
That's a mess. How do you measure patient outcomes of, say, using a radiology software package (which is typically designated a Class 2 Medical Device)?

By the way, every medical device will have a registry number that you can certainly use to browse for things like recall notices.

I referenced "Crest vs. Colgate" to suggest that quite a bit of marketing is a zero-sum game. If people drink more Pepsi, they'll probably drink less Coke. If they eat at McDonalds more, they'll probably eat at Burger King less. How much money do these companies waste shifting consumers between equivalent products?

I'm not against ad-supported businesses, but I'll bet Google would have made plenty of money off plain old search ads, probably enough to make Gmail free for everyone. If not, they could have charged a few bucks a month, or shown untargeted ads. In any case, they wouldn't have had an enormous database of PII, just waiting to be hacked or mined in more malicious ways when the ad bubble pops (e.g. credit reports, insurance).

I am also grading books in my kids library. They don't have a librarian and they have a stack of 1,000 books that have been donated.

I am grading them by reading level A-Z. Currently I am googling the book and then adding "reading level" to the end and then if it has it, it will show up, or I can find the Lexile number and use that as a grade also. I am using the speech to text command in google, so it doesn't take that much time.

This is a hassle and am looking into other ways to speed up this process. And or get other parents to volunteer if it was an easier process.
I don't think that really compares. The main way to use social media - at least to my observation - seems to be looking often for short intervals. That would be the opposite of binge reading as it is very superficial, always in the background and seldom with a real focus on it.

When I've got extra time I like to take $5 or $10 and go to the local GoodWill. They've got rows of great books (fiction, instructional, illustrated coffee-table books, etc.)

Sometimes I buy something, sometimes I don't. But it's always fun looking through the titles for treasures.
When I did this for my (admittedly medium sized) collection, I used Booxter (https://www.deepprose.com/) and a cuecat scanner to catalog all those books.

Was a simple process of having enough boxes and labels, and I did that anytime I had some free time. Scan a bunch of books, drop them in a box, slap a label on the box, wait for booxter to find and fetch the metadata, update the label in booxter and repeat.

Will take time, but is easily doable.

"Sex tourism" is usually implied to mean sex with people who are either underage or somehow unwilling.

Travelling abroad as a tourist for sex, with willing and legal participants, is obviously fine.
The article also omits regional protectionism, local laws, and severe financial penalties that were being levied against Uber.

Uber was basically pioneering a new model of doing business. You can't really patent a new business model. (Though companies try.) One can only try to compete in it.
BTW the conductivity of silver should make for an excellent frying pan. I saw one at Tiffanys but could not afford to find out.
If this author's conjectures are correct (and I think there's some truth to them), my honest response is not care about anything. Because I'm not willing to be price gouged. If I know that something priced at the top end for the sake of it, I won't pay. I don't need to care about Taylor Swift that much. I don't need the latest smartphone.

This doesn't work with everything; for example, I could need access to health care. But for the vast majority of non life-or-death purchases, I'll opt-out.

I don't think I agree with the rationale: the bifurcation is more likely based in economics. Niche appeal at 10x the cost might be more profitable that reasonably priced, mass appeal products. E.g., when it comes to things like Taylor Swift tickets. I'm unwilling to spend a few hundred dollars to see her. These live performances are for people who are.

"UX is based on research and science"
I’ll chime in too.

My experience with OpenWrt and hardware acceleration is that it matters once speeds gets high enough.

I’ve had some TP-Link Archer c7’s I’ve used as a main router in the past.

When all it has to do is switch packets on my local network there’s literally no load (as inspected by using htop). Gigabits ahoy.

However when routing stuff out to the internet, it needs not only to switch but also to do software NAT, and then the SoCs performance starts saturating between 350 and 380 mbps. Doing 500mbps is not happening.

For that reason I changed my main router to a Linksys WRT 1900 ACS (with a Marvel-based SOC) which has hardware NAT.

It runs symmetric 500mbps without seeing the gauges in htop even move. It’s a night and day difference.

Once speeds get high enough, HW offloading isn’t just nice to have, it’s a requirement.

And when you do have that, almost all those other tasks the router has to do becomes trivial because you have wads and wads of CPU to spare.

Imo PC-based solutions are overkill, but yes, you may end up with a more open solution that way.
I found out last year the root cause of my CFS is life-long mercury toxicity (a well understood neurotoxin). I am responding very positively to treatment.

I think you’re thinking of sex trafficking. The John being a tourist is orthogonal to the prostitute being a victim of trafficking. Many sex tourists visit Germany, for example, where prostitution is a safe, unionized profession.
It's true. Asking users what they want is not that useful. Users don't know what they want and any suggestion they make probably won't scale to others.

On the other hand, understanding your users, how they work, what they hate, what their pain points are is incredibly useful.

A battery replacement for your 6 - which may be over four years old at this point - is $79.

Chinese Fund Backed by Hunter Biden Invested in Repressive Surveillance Tech
From reading articles on here for years about Teslas, it seems one of the major selling points is that you are expected to not have you car in a shop getting maintenance unlike ICE vehicles. I think most people forget about all the other stuff in that conversation then never considered what it takes to actually get a Tesla serviced because you'd expect it to be like every other car getting repaired.
That's not a useful reply. People travel to countries where prostitution is legal for that purpose, and so someone who doesn't necessarily know the extra connotations that phrase carries for you.

I for one did not immediately equate sex tourism with child slavery or pedophilia until I saw your sibling comment.
I think this is close to standard. The local BMW dealer doesn't really do anything on Saturday except accept/enroll cars for work that will happen during the work week. They have loaners, I'd guess a fair number of them. So if you get a Saturday appointment, unless it's something like a bulb swap, you'll be getting the car back Monday, but you'll have loaner. The loaners are mostly 3-series.

The local Honda dealer told me they don't have loaners, but it's in a cluster of dealers that has an Enterprise agency.

Yes, both countries have a concept of probable cause, but they have different definitions of what constitutes it—of which only a little is what is spelled out in the charter/amendment; most of the effective criteria come from case law.

In other words, just because this kind of profiling wouldn’t constitute probable cause in the US, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t constitute probable cause in Canada. (I’m not sure that it does constitute probable cause in Canada; I just don’t know for sure that it doesn’t.)

The laws were on the books, and the public's opposition to what the movie-maker was doing seems to fit in with the intent and scope of the laws. Maybe you can blame him for selective enforcement, but I don't think that qualifies as a miscarriage of justice. (That is, of course, assuming we take at face value that his denial that he didn't steal and ship a copy of the movie to Oklahoma.)

The prosecutor took measures to avoid normalizing what he and the community saw as deviant behaviors. That's one of the key purposes of law: it allows society to express its condemnation of certain conduct.

In most parts of the world, sex workers don't exactly have strong human rights protections. In a poor country, it's generally worse.

A relatively wealthy, privileged person going someplace poor for sex is probably doing it because it facilitates doing rather nasty things in a way that is comfortable for them. They don't need to be ugly about it. Someone else will be ugly about it on their behalf while making them feel great about spreading their money around.

This often means they are raping children or otherwise indulging sexual predilections too unseemly for sex workers in more well-heeled parts of the world.

So sex tourism is generally understood to be a polite term for exceedingly depraved behavior with a veneer of civility.
It makes sense to use a programming language for the rule logic. I'm just suggesting you need to conceptually separate the software code from the rule code. Have the rule code in a separate repository that can be deployed independently (by people with different roles). You can't just deploy new code. You'd perhaps want to apply previous versions of a rule.

In any case. The people maintaining/using the rules might not have a debugger available. They still need to have some kind of "rule stack trace" on how the system came to a certain answer.
The Commodore 8520 Dual Drive Floppy Disk – Pagetable.com
There is actually a Canadian Border Patrol TV show you can watch, and they don't even try and hide that they do this. They very openly show when they check someones phone and laptop. I have seen it on the show, and they have shown them "catching" people. They'll usually use it to check if people are intending to stay and work in Canada, such as seeing in their texts or emails that they were arranging work and/or places to live.

They have shown this very thing on the show where they found on their device that they were making these arrangements. It seemed very invasive and disturbing. They got their password and were looking at their phone and laptop in a backroom. The traveller didn't even get to see what they are doing or anything.

I don't have anything to hide, but I would never feel comfortable with ANYONE having free reign over my unlocked devices, especially not a government border agent doing it behind closed doors.

>We can see, too, that these bifurcations are driven by a shift from a world of scarcity to a world of abundance.

To me all these bifurcations seem to me to stem from a change of a world of more evenly distributed wealth (for working, lower middle, and middle class) and one with wild inequality.

It's a world where a 10-20% can afford the "whatever" (e.g. best phone, live in NY/Bay area, university degree, etc) and the rest have to scrap by and increasingly pinch pennies (while still doing some desperate wealth-signalling purchases, like poor urban blacks that buy $200 sneakers to feel like they have something nice and can participate in the kind of society they see in ads).

Back in the 50s and up to the 80s a signle-income middle class household could still send a kid to college, buy a house, and so on. And living in NY or the Bay are was still very affordable (to the point that both areas had large artistic / bohemian communities living there, and not of the latte sipping urban wealth variety, but the penny pinching / stick it to the man / junky variety).
I’m surprised the ACLU or an analogous force didn’t step in to set a precedent to get the law off the books. The interstate trafficking charge might have complicated that. But were there really no liberal First Amendment NGOs in the 70s?

100%. But given that I want automatically - the barcode scanner integration with varying tools just doesn't do it.

The flip side is that I have books in English, French, Hebrew, and Arabic. The religious Hebrew books don't have ISBNs, unless they came from a North American publisher. The same is true of the Arabic books I have. The French on the other hand went ISBN furiously - or at least enough that it scans true :)

Fair enough, the driver may not have perceived it that way though. Just because it's a fancy neighborhood doesn't mean it's a desirable drop-off location for the driver's purposes. Just because there is a Lyft pickup spot out front doesn't mean it is easy to get there from where the driver currently is.

Another possibility is that your ride wasn't subject to a primetime fare and they thought that they had a good chance of getting one that was by canceling and waiting for the next request. That doesn't justify poor driver behavior, but I'm just being realistic.

Apologies for implying that you were doing anything wrong, I only meant to give a driver's perspective of the valid reasons for avoiding rides.

That said, I've gotten the impression that I'm more 'honest' than most drivers so it's possible there are some scams or strategies which create weird incentives/behavior that I'm not aware of.
The short-term alternative which Boeing has settled on, and which most people in the media seem fine with, is "a system that changes the pitch of the plane automatically while relying on sensors that are known to fail at a high rate". I don't buy that the average person (or the average reporter) could identify without guidance that the first system is terrible but the second system is okay.
