What I understand he’s saying he did stop before the stop line, but a little too early, so when he then made the turn it appeared as is if he hadn’t stopped.
I suspect it is a deep seated human tendency to look up to and defer to the experience of those who are older than you (parents, community elders), so people are naturally uncomfortable with "senior underlings". Junior bosses will inevitably feel their decisions and position threatened by people older than them, especially in more general settings.

Throw in the conflation of skill with seniority, leading to an expectation of adjusting wage to age (not skill), our culture's infatuation with youth and the reliance on heuristics to save time and you have a situation highly unsuited to our present job-hopping lifestyles. Finding a job is more about "who you know, not what you know", which just makes things worse since age groups tend to cluster. This then gets explained as "cultural fit".

IME HR is all about risk avoidance. HR is not about finding the best candidate, it is concerned about finding the safest. The older folk may be the best, but they are not the safest, because they tend to have empty patches in their resume and the soft skills like wisdom, communication skills, tend not to be expressible in resume form.

It's never easy going against ingrained norms, especially when they are held by other people. Until the current millenial tech companies hit middle age, I don't see things changing much. Business opportunity?

If you've been around on the planet for a while, you'll notice that the signal isn't reliable. Big names go bankrupt with regularity - especially banks.

> 100% of them drink boiled tap water. But isn't this proving my point? Not like it's poisoned with heavy metals?

Clearly not 100%. Not a huge fan of these random percentages haha. And we don't know if the tap water isn't poisoned with heavy metals. The effects aren't immediate so it's not like locals would necessarily notice. There's at least one source that claims they are indeed poisoned with heavy metals [0]

> As for pollution, of course they have a long way to go, but the dystopian picture you paint is hardly fair. It's not perfect but you make it sound like Blade Runner 2049. It's not. I live in Bangkok right now and it is WAY worse than Shenzhen or Shanghai. But I never hear Thailand invoked in one of these "pollution hell" threads.

I dunno man, Shanghai on a bad day is pretty comparable to Blade Runner. When I go to China, I get a headache, my mouth tastes metallic and I definitely have a reduced lung capacity. Also, I was actually impressed by Bangkok's lack of pollution. Maybe I caught it at a lucky time, but the air was very refreshing compared to Wenzhou. Even right now, the air forecast is decent [1] compared to Wenzhou [2] or Shanghai [3].

China is definitely not the worst place to live, but it's dramatically different from most western countries. In most western countries, you can talk about Winnie the Pooh without getting banned, while enjoying a nice refreshing glass of tap water :D.

Until we get actual AI, this question seems premature.

Not that it is not worth consideration. It is, because we will get real AI at some point.

Today however, what we do have is powerful, but it lacks simple agency even a toddler has. And like the toddler, it needs supervision.

To me, the lack of agency, lack of ability to perform consideration in the moment, and put simply, do what real intelligence does easily, renders what we have down to a sophisticated tool.

The laws on tools, their operators rights and responsibility is mature and applicable, and I would argue at our present state, indicated.

Once I started really paying attention to security I thought I was being quite paranoid; you're right, there are threats that exist at every level, and tradeoffs to be made. Once I started learning about things like this I realized that tradeoffs are a must:

I totally agree with you, it's great to have federal funding for public advisories stateside. I also agree that big icefall triggered avalanches like you describe are a different sort than what weekend warriors like me encounter in the US, where the vast majority of dangerous slides are triggered by humans.

My broader point, intended more for those interested in if avalanche forecasting is even possible than the Kanchenjunga set, is that there are methods for assessing conditions and evaluating risk using both observations in the field and tracking conditions over time - relying on stats, estimates, and deep noises as you note.
It's honestly shocking to me how people can continue to behave like this, especially in the aftermath of #metoo. I suspect there's just something about being in a position of ultimate privilege that conditions you to think you're invincible until you're not.

> they were proven to degrade old software to strong-arm users to update

I don't recall this being proven. I recall Apple stating the power consumption was limited to prevent the devices over drawing power from the battery and self-resetting. They subsequently added a battery status overview so users could judge if they could simply replace the battery.

I won't argue that they couldn't have done this sooner or handled it better, but it's quite different from software degrading old devices.
I think that what applies to a cougar or a bear or a chimpanzee or some other predator animal applies to humans. It is the natural course of things. It's why I still eat animal meat.

But it is one thing to kill an animal to eat it, or to kill another person to eat what he has, in the course of survival. It is another thing entirely to construct an elaborate global mechanized system in which we impersonally breed, grow, and wantonly murder animals on the scale of hundreds of billions. The entire process from fertilization to slaughter to grocery sterilized and clean, the majority of the citizens in industrialized nations never have to feel the moral weight of the acts done in their name. They never have to consider the perspectives of their quarry, of the lives they end to further their own. All the gifts that we have cognitively above the rest of the animals come with, I think, the burden of knowledge. We have the ability to see before and after our actions, to see what effect we have on every other living and unliving thing.

When I think about what made the holocaust evil -- it wasn't the killing. We make war, and justify it, endlessly. So surely it isn't actually the killing that bothers us deep in our consciences.

What made it different was the industrial scale, and perhaps equally horrific, the way the act was done in the name of the people without their true knowledge or consent. They never even had the chance to justify it; because through the technology we developed the citizenry didn't have to feel a single effect of the acts taken in their name. They never had to be the ones to pull the trigger. They only had to sit unseeing and unfeeling and unthinking, numb and dumb, while mass murder happened only miles from their homes.

So yes. Clearly murder is okay. If only we sit and consider the acts that sustain us and then judge whether that suffering is equivalent to the value we extract from it.

I think if everyone truly understood what was happening they would not tolerate it so easily.
I was referring to iPhones if it wasn't clear before. I don't remember users being able to replace the battery in those.

I doubt they’d have to bother - I doubt that the police will do anything even if you provided them a location.

I dunno. The Huawei foldable looked considerably different as far as the tech, and it fold the other direction. I think it's going to have even worse issues than the Samsung if it ever actually gets released.
In terms of UX, I'd argue shipping the cars software locked in the first place would have been strictly superior to shipping SR+ and downgrading it after the fact.

The rational part of your brain understands why, but I think some pretty fundamental loss aversion emotions kick in when a product you own is downgraded, even if you chose not to pay for the extra features.

Of course, that may be exactly what Tesla is banking on, considering you can just get your credit card out to get it back. I wouldn't be surprised if future SR models come with a one month trial even now the downgrade has been developed.

Parent has a point, IMO, and your reply doesn't really address it.
Radon inferior to radium for electric dipole moments searches
Yeah, no. That source is a complete misrepresentation: Apple didn’t intentionally slow down devices so you could buy a new one: they throttled devices with weak batteries so they wouldn’t shut down randomly. The issue was that Apple communicated this to users somewhat poorly.

Feels really weird. These are the earliest customers for Model 3, wouldn't it be good & cheap PR for Tesla to say "these customers got more than they paid for, but we'll 'grandfather' them into the perks"?

Anyone would like to comment if my age and my lack of experience programming will compound and make extra hard for me to get a job?
Refer what other comments says about un-repairability of Apple hardware, or software slowdowns, or the inability to replace the battery on phones/tablets.

The answer seems to be that Apple doesn't have a monolithic pro/anti consumer opinion, but just whatever is better for their business profits.

- Do whatever they can to push people to buy more devices and more expensive ones.

- Do whatever they can to make their iOS devices seem preferable to Android.

Apple is not a special snowflake, as far as large corporations go.
It's worth noting that MSNP, the protocol Microsoft used for MSN messenger, was actually submitted to the IETF as a draft:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-movva-msn-messenger-protoc...

From a technical perspective, XMPP never really appealed to me --- the biggest turn-off being its reliance on XML, whereas MSNP was a line-based textual protocol closer to a mix of IRC and HTTP. I found MSNP simple enough that I wrote a client and used it right up until Microsoft shut down their servers.

Also, don't forget that the original chat protocol, IRC, is still in (limited) use today.
Seems almost too fast? Reports of the leak were published in November last year [1]. It doesn't say when the leaks took place so unless they were leaked at least year before would it even be possible to construct a foldable phone in that short of a time frame (Feb when Mate X was showcased)?

It's built into their culture. There was one time when the lecturer left the classroom during a break in the lecture, the china exchange students swarmed over his laptop, which he did not lock down, inserted USB drives, copied files had lookouts posted at the door etc. It was so shockingly spontaneous. They did not know I was not a student but another lecturer auditing his class.

Later I told him that his laptop was raided and left it up to him to decide whether to pursue it. He just said they have an integrity problem. Later I heard they made it non-examinable for them so they did not feel a need to cheat.

I think it's just built into PRC Chinese culture. Maybe for them repercussions aren't that bad. But Singaporean Chinese stick to the rules pretty much (google no U-turn syndrome)
For articles and reviews like this, is it responsible journalism to not link and therefore promote the product? I’m genuinely curious if this is an oversight or something else; I see this a lot. It’s not hard to cut n paste the model number and on Dell’s site; but linking to the thing you’re reviewing is convenient; on the flip side Amazon embeds wirecutter reviews and wirecutter almost exclusively reviews products but links to Amazon instead of a manufacturer.

Yeah, but a dependency attack is a rarer issue than out-of-date dependencies that contain known security vulnerabilities.
It's kind of funny to speak of "stealing tech" when it's the foreign companies themselves who give Chinese manufacturers all that's needed to set up production lines to make the tech. Like, what did you expect, that they wouldn't run third shifts or sell the stuff to whoever paid them for it?
I think that telling you that my 2002 PPC iBook actually had remplaçables batteries, as well as all Apple laptop of that era, is pretty much proving misrepresentation...

They were very practical (especially when video playback autonomy was limited to 2h and word processing to around 5h) but clunky. We could discuss for ages if, now a common choice across multiple manufacturers, moving for internal non-moving battery was clever or odious. But the verifiable facts remains that Apple once sold replaceable batteries out there.
Absolutely. Add to that the fact that the inside looks different at different times of the day due to which windows accentuate the inside.
I'm not sure. Me and my coworkers have been saying similar things for a while, and it's not really that deep of an observation. Abstraction can't always magically make things easier. It just moves the complexity around, and often increases it if used unnecessarily.

I am looking into classloader isolation solution and it seems OSGi, especially the Classloader specification is wonderful. The whole OSGi spec is a 400+page book if you are into services, security, etc... but the Classloading isolation spec is small and very useful.

I am in need of a way to allow plugins/integration with other teams. If we use standard Java package sharing mechanism, sooner or later teams will run into dependency conflict hell. More often, microservices (IPC) is suggested, too. But, the nature of our application is sensitive to latency and require high throughput. That throws IPC out of the picture.

Then, I remember the servlet API and how the servlet spec dictates classloading isolation at the container level. I rolled my own classloader to isolate the plugins/integrations but it is not as nice as OSGi implementation.

At this point, I am very inclined into using OSGi just for the sole classloading purpose.

One question that bother me is: since we are not that hardcore OSGi users, would it make sense for us to just bundle every plugins' into a fat jar and use bundle-classpath to resolve the plugin's owned dependencies? I know that by doing so, we are not strictly adhere to OSGi classes' sharing but it would lower the friction for independent teams to integrate with us.
None of the provided links as much as mentions Huawei or provides anything but uncertainty that there were any bugging devices found at the Nortel offices.
Not being able to repair your device is anti-consumer–in a vacuum. In the real world, there are trade offs: making devices repairable makes them thicker, more complicated, etc. Those that understand this and feel that Apple is compromising in the wrong direction have a reasonable opinion.

However, there is quite a bit of misrepresentation as you mention: often “right to repair” people forget that this compromise exists. In particularly egregious examples (YouTubers in particular) they willfully neglect to discuss this. Off the top of my head, Louis Rossmann has literally lied to people to stir up controversy: see the media outrage about “Apple confiscating batteries”, which was completely orchestrated.
