From the article:

"But experts say the problem isn’t with lack of discernment on the part of site publishers but with an extremely complex online advertising system that makes it hard for publishers involved to detect, let alone weed out, misleading and malware-laden ads."

Which is crap. It's your site, you're responsible for what you run on it. If I ran a store, and the guy from the company that cleans the floors occasionally stabs customers in the face, nobody would accept me shrugging and saying "well, it's really hard to tell which companies employ face-stabbers so I guess you're just going to get some face-stabbing every once in a while. Sorry".

If you go to a site and you get malware from an ad network, it's because the site owner doesn't care if you get malware from an ad network. Full stop.
I interact with my phone regularly throughout the day. It’s usually the last item I interact with at night (aside from bed, blankets, etc.) and it’s the first item I interact with in the morning. It’s the one item that consistently travels with me wherever I go, whether that means room to room in my own house or state to state on an airplane. So it’s an item I don’t mind spending a little extra on. The cost difference with smaller phones just really doesn’t matter to me; never mind the fact that the larger phones often have better specs in other areas as well.

As for dropping, I disagree. I’m way more likely to drop a smaller phone.
In critical situations where the a bad outcome is really, really negative, checklists are fine.

I've seen checklists abused, however, in project management. Where some folks are apt to generate a "one-size-fits-all" checklist for every project large or small. It ends up becoming boilerplate, and worse, people take their tasks less seriously if trivial, nebulous or non-applicable stuff is grouped onto the same footing as things which take hard work. Everything ends up being a checklist item with check-box and a date on it.

I'm probably the smartest guy in Romania and can tell you I got my certification that I can do 99% by making sure my usual cognitive load stays at 1%.

I was also poor, which means there was no way to enforce my internal policy which means today, 20 years later, I'm using 99% of my brain power to solve issues a simple state/high-powered enforcement checklist would do.

At my 90%+ I still dreamed of a better future. Now I only wish my own death. Tomorrow I hope and make sure you all die.

If "the market has spoken", it seems like its words were dictated by the manufacturers.

As a consumer I don't remember even being given the option of buying any small phones (besides the now discontinued iPhone SE) for the last handful of years.

> I also believe that some portion of people who are vocal about the inevitable, eventual disappearance of the 4" screen aren't necessarily even using these small phones

I'm using my SEs as much as possible, but due to the limitations of iOS it's not feasible for me to use them as my primary work phone. This means I can choose between carrying two phones, carrying one that's too large, or significantly reducing my access to work resources on the go.

Transport security & confidentiality makes sense (though at first I was trying to work out how an encrypted yum package would work).

Yum with CentOS 6 and above does support SSL for mirror sites and a handful of global mirrors also support it (HEG being one).

I suppose there's a slight race condition (eg how do I update the CA-Certificates bundle when I need the new CA-Certificates bundle to connect to the mirror site to download the update), however I tend to agree there should be some privacy as default.

While i use SFTP a lot using sshfs, it is a terrible storage solution in general. If you don't know, SSH does its own flow control on top of TCP (that is, you have TCP flow control outside the SSH sleeve and SSH flow control inside it). The result is SFTP often bogs down and has dismal transfer rates. You can do much better using e.g. WebDAV and dav2fs, which lets you use https to authenticate and transfer.
The exception you're referring to is this one in Part 97.113 (3), which is part of a list of prohibited communications:

(3) Communications in which the station licensee or control operator has a pecuniary interest, including communications on behalf of an employer. Amateur operators may, however, notify other amateur operators of the availability for sale or trade of apparatus normally used in an amateur station, provided that such activity is not conducted on a regular basis.

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2002-title47-vol5/pd...

It appears that the exception is limitied to notifying other amateurs of equipment for sale or trade, not making the actual payment over the air. For example, if I got a one-time virtual credit card number and read it over the air to another amateur to pay for equipment, I don't believe that would fall under this exception, so it would be prohibited.
This is a beautiful, and much-needed, sentiment. All of us have our own struggles. Unless you’re that person, it is not for you to judge if it is small or big. It is enough to know that there are struggles.

Well also the fact that the stabilizer can get trimmed far enough that the aerodynamic load on the rear stabilizer exceeds the pilots ability to move it manually. In that case the only real solution early in take off would be to re-enable the trim system so you could use the trim motors. The other solution to that situation is to nose down to release some of the pressure on the stabilizer so they can be manually cranked again, this isn't really an option early in the flight though because you don't have the altitude to slowly undo the erroneous trim while diving.
Ok, here’s one for you. This is almost too painful to repeat it’s so bad. When I went to college, the university implemented at 4 digit prefix that students would use when dialing from a campus phone so they could charge long distance calls directly to their university bill. With only 9999 numbers allocated to 6000 students, it was comically simple to use a random number and make that long overdue call to mom.

I think we give Google way too much credit for their talent. This is the same company that didn't feel like finishing their website for two decades and subsequently stole $75 million from their users even when Google knew [1].

> I find smaller phones annoying. I’m never quite sure if the mic can pick up my voice if the earpiece is near my ear. I’m also much more likely to drop the smaller phone.

This is funny because I feel like mic quality has only gotten worse since the days of the Nokia candy bar phone where the mic fell about mid cheek.

Maybe it has something to do with the way you had to hold those phones and your hand naturally cupped from the mic around to your mouth.

Or the miniature mics in modern phones and thier reliance on noise cancelling with multiple mic arrays.
Most people in both groups seem generally happy but the latter group thinks the world is ending because climate change/trump/microplastics/etc. The poorer group definitely has the more positive outlook but one could argue they're not thinking long enough term (but who could blame them). Generally speaking the sources of anguish for the rich group doesn't even make the cut to be considered a problem for the poor group.
And no one is disagreeing with that. There needs to be intermediary steps between now and 2050. That was the entire question, "what are they doing in the next 1-2 years".

Just saying "we'll do it within 30 years" is easy, saying "and here's our year-by-year plan" is a lot harder. If there's not a year-by-year plan, when 30 years is up there's no one left to take the blame if we fail.

You're arguing that everything can be subject to exploration via scientific method, and he's arguing that some people reject this anyway. Here is a quote about an ideological split that happened in the anthropology community:

>The divide is trenchantly summarized by Lawson and McCauley (1993) who divide between ‘interpretivists’ and ‘scientists,’ or, as noted above, ‘positivists’ and ‘naturalists.’ For the scientists, the views of the ‘cultural anthropologists’ (as they call themselves) are too speculative, especially because pure ethnographic research is subjective, and are meaningless where they cannot be reduced to science. For the interpretivists, the ‘evolutionary anthropologists’ are too ‘reductionistic’ and ‘mechanistic,’ they do not appreciate the benefits of subjective approach (such as garnering information that could not otherwise be garnered), and they ignore questions of ‘meaning,’ as they suffer from ‘physics envy.’

It's a beautifully sunny day to day and rather windy.

That or using discontinuities in impedance intentionally. I've designed and had built a handful of successful UHF planar PCB filters using Sonnet. In a lot of them I use very small changes in trace width as the place to put resonating elements. ie, http://superkuh.com/stepped-impedance-bandstop-filter.html

The difference between square corners and compensated is real. And it gets more real if you're working in generic FR4 with 1.6mm thickness and 2-3mm wide traces for the sweet spot between 50 and 75 ohms.
Other manufacturers are not failing, you’re just blinded by Tesla’s flashy marketing.

For example, Volvo’s current breed of cars has everything that Tesla has to offer. However, their approach is “no person killed by Volvo by 2020”, so their tech is rightly called assisted driving. Other manufacturers have similar tech and approaches.

A few years back European truck manufacturers even had a competition that involved autonomous driving on general roads across multiple state borders in Europe.

However, Tesla’s marketing keeps insisting that their tech is full autonomous driving, and their lawyers correctly insist that its not.

Now, back to the “not realistic to work on”. Because it’s not realistic. Real autonomous driving is decades away. And “state-of-the-art” is barely semi-autonomous (requires driver’s attention at all times), barely works under ideal conditions (read: sunny California weather with good roads, signs and road markings), can barely handle a very restricted set of road and weather conditions etc. etc.
The 757 and 767 do not have identical airframes, they share a type certificate. The Airbus 320 and 340 do not have identical airframes, they share a type certificate. I think you do not understand type certification.

The 737 MAX airframe is substantially more like a 737 NG airframe, than a 757 is to a 767. Etc. It sounds like you have a problem with how airplanes are type certified, not a problem with the airframe.

In the late 90's I was doing a lot of IT work as a college student. One of my clients was an accounting firm that was still on a Novell Netware network. All of their apps were ancient terminal-based programs. Lotus 123 was one of the most important. I switched them over to a Linux server and NT workstations. The nightmare of getting captured LPT ports and print-servers configured to emulate Netware-style print queues was enough for me to lose it most days. Finally I asked, "why not just use MS Excel?" Then I watched one of the accountants. He completely flew around Lotus in a way that was inspiring. I imagine forcing him to learn a new tool would have introduced one heck of a hinderance to his daily grind. To this day, I have a serious affinity for CLI apps because of how well that team was able to zip through their work.

This has always seemed inevitable to me. TV studios are producing content at massive expense, and they’re only doing so because they expect massive profits. $100/mo cable bills do the trick, but there isn’t enough massive profit it everyone “just” having a Netflix subscription.

The market is going to test ways to continue to charge $100/mo or more (total household expense), and will only keep producing this “golden age of TV” if they find they can keep raking in big bucks for it.

If we did end up stabilizing on “most people just buy Netflix,” over the long haul, I would expect to see studios quit producing blockbuster TV, and for content quality to look more like it did in the 80s/90s.
My issue was never with the content on the front page. I don't use it enough to judge how much of its feed is quality or otherwise, so I'm not qualified enough to have an opinion on that.

However, having looked through the comments again just now it still is clearly a place for people with ideologies that shouldn't exist in a modern society to circle-jerk each other - and almost everyone replying with a contrary opinion is down-voted to hell but not debated in the slightest. Just personally insulted. I see more genuine debate on the Reddit's default sub-reddits for Christ's sake.

I'm literally reading through a comment chain now of people agreeing with each other that Jewish people should be banned from working in the US government, and shipped to Israel regardless of their nationality. There's another that is calling for a crusade against all Middle Eastern countries. It's baffling. Hell, in the UK and many places in Europe they'd be fined or arrested for hate speech. If this were public discourse, and not just inside this bubble, the people saying these things would have their ideas ripped apart - because people realise that a modern society can not function with mentally deluded people calling for the culling of a demographic just for existing.

It's not about stomaching contrary opinions or learning something new. There are plenty of quality places to do that, and places for civil debate both on and off the internet. Voat is not one of those places.
The same way they already force signing for iOS programs. I don't know the details but you can write iOS apps in C#, Java, and Python today so clearly this solution already exists.
What's there to "recognize" about the statement that "some people really have it better because they fall on the right side of a normal distribution"?

To a good degree of approximation, the talk about one group having it better than other is a discussion about one group's mean and/or right tail being greater than the other's. The statement you want the author to recognize is equivalent to that in a probability distribution, some samples really do fall on the right side of the mean.
So you don't don't think any social network company is good, because they all do this to some extent, some more explicitly than others.

On a different note, maybe I just see this differently.

> “In this specific case, community flags triggered a temporary suspension."

It seems like the comments this user was making did not resonate with users of the site. This is the reality of having a social site: you have to deal with people's actions, decisions, and opinions, however rational or irrational you view them to be. It's the same kind of thing that happens almost anywhere else in any other social situation.

A brilliant mind. His thoughts and ideas are extremely relevant to this day. In his letter 1304, Dijkstra said: “I would therefore like to posit that computing's central challenge, viz. "How not to make a mess of it", has not been met. On the contrary, most of our systems are much more complicated than can be considered healthy, and are too messy and chaotic to be used in comfort and confidence. The average customer of the computing industry has been served so poorly that he expects his system to crash all the time, and we witness a massive worldwide distribution of bug-ridden software for which we should be deeply ashamed.”

It is also what gives Apple the power to lock older iOS devices from getting new apps - regardless if those devices would be able to run those apps or not and many of those devices would be able to run a large number of applications they have not access to - and force users to upgrade their devices to newer models.

Also Android is not wild-west freedom, the entire idea behind "side-loading" (which is not available everywhere) is a sign to that - or even worse, the inability to gain root access to your own device. If you want an example of such freedom, it would be something like what you see on desktop systems such as Windows or Linux (though Windows 8 and later did piss in the pool with their Metro/UWP efforts).

macOS can become a development and productivity platform while at the same time being locked down. For example you'd be able to install Xcode and even a (user-only) Unix command line environment that will autosign any executable you create for use only on your own machine and a few preapproved others. AFAIK this is how it is already done with iOS devices, except Xcode doesn't run there (but that is mainly an issue with API availability, not it requiring anything that couldn't be provided on a locked down macOS). Since this would require an annual developers' fee, it'd make any source-based releases impractical outside of developers and even that only for as long as you pay that fee (again see iOS: it isn't like you cannot download some iOS program in source code form and install it on your own device, but to do that you need to pay Apple for the privilege).
