Apple has very little interest in your $300. They want to make big, premium, high-margin devices that sell for $800+.

It's the same reason they will never make a modular, upgradable desktop (no, the new MacPro does not count), the margins just aren't there. Apple only competes in spaces where they can make a lot of profit

It's funny because I am usually not interested in those types of products, but I still admire their commitment to their strategy.
Perhaps, but I think sometimes we are very eager to label people as abusive or toxic as a shortcut to understanding them. So I would avoid being too casual with permanently categorizing behavior of abusers.

I have also seen mental illness lead to behaviors that one could call abusive, gaslighting, etc. The wrong kind of label doesn't get those people where they need to be.
On the other hand, what about autism and vaccines? Or wifi emissions?

and I wonder what they will say about cellphone radiation in 30 years? (or some time in the future where there's not a strong litiginous cellphone industry)

PayPal handles this pretty nicely, in a way that iOS seems to be happy with.

They have both fields in the HTML, but the password is hidden until the email is submitted. My 1Password iOS integration handles that fine - when I go to the second step, password is there.
There is an Indian treatise in living called Brihat Samhita by Varahamihira. There is an entire chapter on crows and how to find omens from crow calls and determine weather from their flight path. I think humans have been observing crows/corvids for a very long time. I think they turn up in Norse mythology often too.

fivethirtyeight.com did a really insightful series of podcasts on gerrymandering. Everyone agrees what North Carolina is doing is bad, but it's actually quite difficult to say what "good" is. Definitely worth a listen:

Canada Teams Up with Tech Giants to Counter Extremist Content Online
They ignored a key detail in their benchmark. They did not include the time it took to transfer the input file from memory to the GPU, (the GPU cores can only operate on graphics memory). This is easily going to be the most time consuming part. They also didn't include any IO operations in their timing, so instead of a 10x speedup, it is more likely to be a couple of percent faster as grep is going to be IO bound. This is a neat project, but there is a reason we are not using the GPU for regex matching.
"The only benefit I’ve ever found of a small phone is that it fits better in a pocket."

That's why I have an SE.
I'm in the same generation.

I actually feel like it was easier in many ways back then. There were fewer resources, yes, but also fewer distractions, fewer decisions to get stuck paralyzed on, and fewer giants to compare myself against.

I wanted to make games that looked and played like the best games I'd played. Well, that was SimCity, which had 16x16 pixel 16 color sprites. I could draw those — not as well, but at least I had the technology available. I didn't need to be able to model, texture, rig, light, and render a 3D model.

I needed a language to program in. Well, my local Waldenbooks only had a couple of books on QuickBASIC and C. I did the former at first and then switched to the latter once I realized the former was too slow. I didn't get stuck trying to decide between C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Rust, and Python. Unity, Unreal, Löve2D, Godot, GameMaker, etc.

I needed time to focus. I didn't have Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, HN, and an endless parade of free-to-play games only a couple of clicks away. I was bored and coding filled the time.

It was lonely and limited, yes, but I believe solitude and constraints are often the most important ingredients in creative work.

Same with Brave: I'm logged in into a gmail account and a custom domain hosted on gmail, yet every time there's a reCAPTCHA widget on the site, I have to do it 2 or 3 times before I'm let in.

One trick that seems to help fool that awful piece of tech: click slowly on the images, as if you were thinking a second or two before each click. Maybe click a wrong image and deselect it again. In other words, behave like a slow human, and it seems to work better than if I solve it as quickly as possible.

The local variants are actually older than standard Arabic (they all seem to stem from a common source). The standard Arabic is a synthetic language invented by grammarians who selected what they considered the best of all Arabic dialects at their time and formalized it. The general wisdom that the local variants are deformed form of the standard Arabic is not supported by linguistic research.
I ran the production systems for various Google products and this was an interesting challenge there because there were many engineers and many changes done every day.

One imperfect but helpful technique is to use release notes for your application.

Ask the team to write good commits when changing code, and aggregate all code changes done to the application into a page that describes what went in that release. GitHub releases do that for you automatically. When a release is pushed that breaks something, it's easier to scan the release notes and find who changed what.

Another technique is to use explicit feature flags to protect all code changes. Then use a dashboard that shows recent changes to feature flags – again this helps tracking down the culprit.

It could also be the other way around: iPhone SE users don't "live" on their phone and are less likely to download third-party apps beyond the bare necessities, so there are more of us than show up in these statistics.

I wish one of the big players like WhatsApp or Google Maps would publish their statistics (or Apple itself, of course).
I'm not sure whether this is a good decision for the country, but it's a good decision for protecting the integrity of the federal judiciary (which is the whole point of the political question doctrine):

> In considering whether partisan gerrymandering claims are justiciable, we are mindful of Justice Kennedy’s counsel in Vieth: Any standard for resolving such claims must be grounded in a “limited and precise rationale” and be “clear, manageable, and politically neutral.” 541 U. S., at 306–308 (opinion concurring in judgment). An important reason for those careful constraints is that, as a Justice with extensive experience in state and local politics put it, “[t]he opportunity to control the drawing of electoral boundaries through the legislative process of apportionment is a critical and traditional part of politics in the United States.” Bandemer, 478 U. S., at 145 (opinion of O’Connor, J.). See Gaffney, 412 U. S., at 749 (observing that districting implicates “fundamental ‘choices about the nature of representation’” (quoting Burns v. Richardson, 384 U. S. 73, 92 (1966))). An expansive standard requiring “the correction of all election district lines drawn for partisan reasons would commit federal and state courts to unprecedented intervention in the American political process,” Vieth, 541 U. S., at 306 (opinion of Kennedy, J.).

One of the cases underlying this Supreme Court decision involves egregious Democratic gerrymandering in Maryland, my home state. The Congressional district my house should be in looks like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland%27s_3rd_congressional.... It's shaped that way to dilute the republicans in Annapolis with democrats from Prince Georges County, and push the rest of the southeast Maryland republicans into district 5.

This is clearly bad. But the question is, is it the role of the federal courts to do something about it? What do you think the reaction in Maryland would be if a Trump-appointed federal judge invalidated this district on constitutional grounds? This decision protects the federal judiciary from the inevitable shit show that would ensue in that and similar situations.
Hmm. That is actually an interesting argument. It's like when Žižek and Peterson were debating Capitalism and Peterson talked about how you have the separation between those with wealth and the workers, but what happens when you try to fix that? Trying to level out the field will eventually lead to other injustice based on your previous position in the system.

Gerrymandering is a symptom of a broken system: badly proportionate representation due to First Past the Post elections. If we had order of preference voting with instance runoff, or Mixed-Member Proportional, policies would be much better at reflecting the opinions held by the people in the regions where politicians are elected. (I did a post on this a few years back: https://fightthefuture.org/videos/does-voting-make-a-differe...)

Maine has ranked voting now, and I hope we see it in more states. I think the solution to our broken political system is not fixing district lines, but to move to voting systems where those lines don't matter, where votes cannot be thrown away and where elected officials come into power representing many different viewpoints of their electorate.
Ok, I'll bite: mind addressing the legality issues many of the other commenter have brought up? Because this looks like a great way to get a FCC fine.
Absolutely not. We don't even understand larger scale phenomenon such as turbulent flow in fluids, so there's no way we could understand the interaction between turbulent flow and quantum phenomenon in our brain. Given that gap, the insistence that physics provides the determinism that means all our outcomes are predetermined is just your desire to believe you know something.
This is a bit different, in my opinion. If you're interacting with someone over text message or phone call, things are very different in comparison to interacting over Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

In one case, you're directly interacting with someone. In another case, you're interacting with someone over the context of a Facebook post or a tweet or whatever. The former is an actual interaction (arguably, a simulation), the latter is quite literally a simulacrum of one (or many). Thus my point about this being a post-modern phenomena.

This phenomena was aptly described by The Invisible Committee's call to insurrection in one of their manifestos titled "Now"[0].

> The necessary condition for the reign of the GAFA (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon) is that beings, places, fragments of the world remain without any real contact. Where the GAFA claim to be “linking up the entire world,” what they’re actually doing is working toward the real isolation of everybody. By immobilizing bodies. By keeping everyone cloistered in their signifying bubble. The power play of cybernetic power is to give everyone the impression that they have access to the whole world when they are actually more and more separated, that they have more and more “friends” when they are more and more autistic. The serial crowd of public transportation was always a lonely crowd, but people didn’t transport their personal bubble along with them, as they have done since smartphones appeared. A bubble that immunizes against any contact, in addition to constituting a perfect snitch. This separation engineered by cybernetics pushes in a non-accidental way in the direction of making each fragment into a little paranoid entity, towards a drifting of the existential continents where the estrangement that already reigns between individuals in this “society” collectivizes ferociously into a thousand delirious little aggregates. In the face of all that, the thing to do, it would seem, is to leave home, take to the road, go meet up with others, work towards forming connections, whether conflictual, prudent, or joyful, between the different parts of the world. Organizing ourselves has never been anything else than loving each other.

You miss my point. I don't disagree that events are unfolding in the manner you describe. But you have a preference it seems, to the way in which you would rather have them unfold.

Biometrics has always scared me. The thieves will take your finger for a fingerprint scan, your hand for a hand scan, your head for a retina scan.
I think any reasonable / rational human being could use the single word "equality" as the criteria and decide unequivocally that what is being done with gerrymandering is not that.

Looks like SCOTUS needs congress to hold their hands and spell everything out in laws that will almost certainly contain loop holes.

Why is this supreme court unable (unwilling?) to think for themselves?
Yes, it is out of 1.

> reCAPTCHA v3 returns a score (1.0 is very likely a good interaction, 0.0 is very likely a bot).
Yes I always love reading these. Despite all the recent politicking around the SC, I think it remains the least political branch of our government.

Many people think the SC's job is to decide what is "good" for our country, but actually that is the Legislative's job. The SC's job is to interpret the law and apply it fairly. The opinion actually says that gerrymandering can reasonably be argued to be unfair, but just that deciding that is IS unfair is not within the realm of the federal courts.

The opinion is well written and I think it was correctly decided. That being said, I do think Gerrymandering is a real problem, but I think it needs to be solved with new laws, not with a SC decision.

Did you vary your code, or just try the same code until it was the correct one?
Sure, but it must be relatively simple to identify, pre-compilation, if the regex is regular or not; there's only certain constructions that break regularity. Why couldn't Perl's engine fall back to a more optimized regular-language-only implementation for those cases, if it has such a big impact on performance?
I bought one not too long ago on clearance, it's a great phone.

I love the size, the headphone jack, the price, and I get iOS and don't have to worry about the security and update issues of Android. What's not to like? :)

TBH, I probably would have upgraded to an iPhone XR had I not grabbed the SE on clearance but I ended up saving ~$500 so I'm happy how it turned out.

There's definitely a market for phones that are affordable, that can fit in your hand and run iOS. /shrug
Be careful ignoring those "private" signs though. I ignored such a sign in south Texas, took a dirt road (in a 4x4) that was mapped as a public road (both on paper and Google), only to have a rifle shot cross my path about 5 minutes later.

Ended up having a fairly civil conversation with the "owner" before turning around, but he was adamant that I was on private property and would not be allowed to continue.
I think they both tell a similar story. Someone on the tour (a machinist) played with the safe and got it open.

Well, for my part, I kind of fell on the side of your posts representing more "idealism" than anything else. But, yes, I think "romanticism" works as well. Since romanticism is marked by the imaginative or emotional appeal of what is heroic, adventurous, remote, mysterious, or idealized. Romanticism is not all about being happy. There are romantic heroes in comedies as well as tragedies. The history of literature for instance is replete with many examples of both. Your idea is to make the heroic effort to fix one's mind. Which can easily become a tragedy.

I think pragmatism fits least because of your clarification. Managing one's mind, or ridding oneself of desire, and especially dealing with reality without bias or judgement, are just not terribly realistic in nature. We should certainly strive to deal with reality without bias or judgement for instance, but, I mean, we obviously don't do that in practice. None of us do. Despite the protestations of the number among us who would claim to be completely non-judgemental. Especially not when we find ourselves at a pragmatic extreme. In combat for instance, there is a whole lot of bias and judgement because people start to become almost too pragmatic.

But we can just agree to disagree. No worries man. Just wanted to explain my thinking.
The only way that happens is a union. Unless people expect the aura of moral expectation to do anything.

I just had this happen the other day, but with Google bicycle directions. It looked like a good shortcut, until I was deep in the woods hiking up a trail with my bicycle over my shoulder, and only then did I realize what a lemming I had become. It was the hope that there was a good shortcut (and it would have been if it had worked out) that kept me going.
