Airlines don't sell a seat they sell the transportation between 2 airports (see their T&C's) to an individual. However ff you want an extra seat for extra-room there is a procedure (usually use "XS" as your middle name or ExtraSeat as a first name). He didn't do that, he created fake identities...
Yes. I read the article and thought "Wow. Somebody has rediscovered handler-bind from Common Lisp."
Looks cool, but requires ActiveSync to be on. I think a lot of stodgy companies are locking that down and requiring the native Outlook app and its (as mentioned) stealthly MDM stuff.

No, they totally could. They didn't because they didn't care until they decided they wanted to axe the pass, and then they went looking for a pretext.

Dude is rich as hell and probably very hard to sympathize with on most other counts, but he got screwed by AA here.
Seems like this aligns with my intuitions about what people care about.

"Inclusivity" doesn't mean anything by itself, it's a synonym for diversity, and these terms themselves essentially mean bias in favour of women. Large majorities of both men and women want to be measured on merit, not many want to feel like they got a job or promotion because of their gender. So no surprise it's not popular and indeed, never has been. The trend towards it is because a small minority care about it more than anything else and go on the attack if they don't get it. The silent majority doesn't care.

Could you give a reference for that rationale?

That does not seem to be the right lesson to be learned. They need to watch out for security holes and prepare fixes for both bundled lib and shared lib model.

The more likely reason for that change seems that it is less work to update single package than all packages. But this increases security risk, because now you're running obsolete versions of those other packages.

> On Android, there are tools that help prevent IT from reaching into your phone. If it’s allowed by your admin, you can create a separate “work” profile that contains sandboxed versions of your apps to avoid blurring the line between personal and work. The work profile can then be disabled on demand and flipped back on only when you need it, providing a level of control that iOS doesn’t yet allow.

This is changing with iOS 13 and the introduction of User Enrollment, which siloes off work data and adds restrictions to what corporate IT can access.

But I still don't want to carry two phones.

What a toxic comment. Many people would consider DeepDream and Inceptionism to be the spark that ignited a lot of creative work in deep learning, which Christopher Olah wrote on while at Google AI.
> you’ll likely be asked to install something called a Mobile Device Management (MDM) profile. Chances are, you’ll blindly accept it.

Say WHAT? That's the entire premise of the article. Any sane person who have even a vague idea of what a MDM is will answer with a resounding NO.

Is there actually serious companies who ask their employees to install a MDM on their personal phone? The moment you install a MDM on a phone, that phone is no longer your own, it now belongs to the company.

> There are people out there who are so smart that this how they feel about the people around them.

Nah. There are insufficiently socialized people who use this as a self-defense mechanism. Getting good at people is hard work, too, and there's not a lot of room to be sympathetic towards somebody who implicitly shit on that effort because of how so very very smart they think they are.

I know plenty of folks who are Actually That Smart who somehow have little trouble having a conversation with we mere mortals. They're happier, too. And sometimes--wait for it--they too learn something in a conversation. If GGP is actually as much of a bright light as his post wants us to think, surely interacting with we mere mortals in a way that doesn't clank is a solvable problem.
I feel like most/many articles such as this are targeted at large enterprises/organisations. I've never been asked to install anything like MDM on my phone for any company I've worked for if needing to/wanting to view work email on my phone. But then I've never worked for a company who has more than around 25 members of staff.
Honest question: How did GDPR gloss over it? That law is just as applicable to government as to business? And we have both GDPR and transparancy laws to aid those willing to search for transgressions. Only nit I know of is that fines to the government are fines to the public, with less of a possibility to shop elsewhere or the firm to face consequences from say shareholders (in extreme: a high fine means higher taxes).

The argument being made isn't that freeways shouldn't exist at all, but should be rammed through already established neighborhoods. Plenty of the world's greatest cities (London, Paris, Rome, arguably NYC) have no to minimal freeways running through them, yet they all thrive.

If you look at where Robert Moses wanted to build freeways in Manhattan, you'd no longer have some of its best neighborhoods, like Greenwich Village. If you look at where the highways were built, particularly Queens and the Bronx, the neighborhoods declined. The same things happened in most cities that had highways rammed through already established communities.
That's why this is such a great article: Manual Work is a Bug (https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3197520)

It creates the mindset of, let me do a little everyday to make this a more automated process.
I spend maybe $25 a year on games for myself, maybe seeing something at a re-seller at the mall. I spend hundreds on my son who just recently figured out why Garry's Mod is fun, and is finally able to play Mario by himself and not just operate the hat while I play Mario. I still don't think he can appreciate why the latest Zelda was amazing. But I've shelled out a lot to Nintendo, and he has to have the new Mario Maker. I don't know what the cool kids are into, but Steam and Nintendo are friends with my PayPal.
I just want to put it out there, that regardless of if this is a "fight worth fighting" or not. Email was a nightmare for me. I could not keep up. Coworkers would catch themselves and laugh when they asked if I'd gotten an email.

Switching to neomutt has changed everything for me. I now mmaintain Inbox Zero.

I write in markdown. I convert it into a multipart email with HTML in one keystroke for everyone else.

Other benefits:

I don't know this for a fact, but i suspect that HTML email has got to _suck_ for visually impaired people using screen readers.

plaintext email means no tracking by marketers, or facebook, or anyone else.

plaintext emails are also _way_ shorter. There is so much less crap to mentally deal with when all the marketing BS has been stripped away.

plaintext emails give you a glimpse into just how much you're tracked too. Nevermind the privacy aspects of seeing the real url, you see that the "real" url is multiple lines long because of all the tracking they've embedded in it. It makes you think twice before clicking it.

> A music minimum viable product is much more accessible than a video game.

This kind of depends on your expectations. I knew a guy who spent more than a year recording a single song. He poured hundred of hours into this, and he did the entire thing: vocals, every instrument, the mixing, everything. It was a labor of love for him, and the result sounded as good as anything on Spotify, at least to my untrained ear.

On the other hand, you have people pumping out soundtracks for their podcast every couple of weeks, using nothing more than GarageBand and a bunch of samples. A lot of these are good enough for people to purchase, too.

Same thing with game dev. You can spend years of your life, and/or thousands of dollars, tweaking Unity and developing game assets. On the other hand, Dong Nguyen developed Flappy Birds in three days.

> Most people who jump into indie development are gamers themselves, and as gamers their product ideas are not always possible even with years of full time solo development.

Business sense trumps passion here. You're right, it's totally unrealistic to expect one guy sitting in his apartment to pump out the next Breath of the Wild. But you could produce a reasonable Candy Crush type game in a few days, and polish it in a few weeks, probably even working nights and weekends.
I like the Colombians, have been to Bogota and Catedral de Sal. Cheers!
This is certainly a very good reason to not put your work account on your personal phone, but my primary reason not to is that it's my device and I pay for the service. If my company needs me to be available beyond my 9-5 workday, they can pay for it.

If there's an emergency, they can always call, but I don't like being "always on".

Interesting that this was just about spying, when the real reason to keep work email off your phone (imo) is to maintain work life balance. If I can access my work email on my phone, I will access my work email on my phone. Constantly. I'm bad enough with my phone and my personal email.

Everywhere I've worked I've told my manager I turn off work when I leave (unless I'm oncall). I've never had this be a concern, across three large companies.
A nontechnical person won’t blink an eye. Those are still sane people, they simply don’t understand the threat like we do.

The second: once a restart is invoked, the stack is unwound and so whatever was happening at the tip is forgotten. With an effect handler one is given a continuation (this might be a function or, as in ocaml, a special function-like thing which may be called only once), and you can put this to one side and do something else.

A common example for an application of algebraic effects would be implementing async/await like mechanisms. The effect handler would take the continuations and put them into a scheduler, so it’s stack would effectively be heavily forked.
Assuming the Marvel movies fall into the category you're talking about... I adore the Marvel movies, as does everyone else I talk to about them. They're fun to watch, I'm fully vested in the characters (which, to some extent, is based on my reading of comic books so many decades ago), and the shared storyline/world is great.
> But while Tinley's files worked for years, they started malfunctioning around 2014. According to court documents, Tinley planted so-called "logic bombs" that would trigger after a certain date, and crash the files.

> Every time the scripts would crash, Siemens would call Tinley, who'd fix the files for a fee.

I wonder what the code looked like. Is it obviously nefarious, like

if (date() > '2018-01-01') { exit(); }

or can it be chalked up to laziness, like

for(date in range('2000-01-01', '2018-12-31')) { process(date); // TODO, this should be moved out of this spreadsheet

Weird title. It has nothing to do with e-mail. It is the MDM that is the problem.
I have family in Saint Louis and we visited the City Museum which has various artifacts and historical anecdotes about the city.

Over and over they would show something really cool, like the old baseball stadium, townhouses, trolleys, neighborhoods and it would end with, “they were all demolished to build highways”.

Saint Louis itself is now the definition of a suburb-city, lacking character with a very small walkable downtown, and everyone has to drive to get from strip mall A to strip mall B. Very sad what the car did to that city. Even my family who lives there recommends not moving there.
Has it ever been implemented? Or is it still just a thought experiment in language design?
Our offices don't use any of that chatroom crud and I'm extremely thankful for the lack of extra imposed distractions, not to mention the horror stories of being reachable 24/7 because of Slack/Riot/etc.

Why require another medium for communication when email works just fine? What is the point in joining a chatroom to talk to one person only to be spammed by everyone else in the room? For those cases where email is insufficient, walking over and talking or making a phone/video call are IMHO better.
Yes, though some other commenters have pointed out caveats (e.g. do they really have a free choice?).

IANA moral philosopher, but I think the gender of the baby being a primary consideration in abortion also makes this a more complicated issue. I feel this is more akin to the ethical dilemma of whether to abort foetuses with non-fatal disabilities.

it's 99% psychological but I also 100% agree. Just posted a top level comment about how it has absolutely changed my life with regards to email. If you're having trouble keeping up with email and aren't afraid of the command line i _highly_ recommend using a cli client. Neomutt is a bitch to set up because there aren't any good action oriented docs, but it's been worth every bit of effort. There are other clients that are much easier to set up (like alpine) but neomutt has so much power and for me being able to write in markdown and convert to HTML for normal folks was a requirement.

the 1% that isn't psychological is how much faster _everything_ is when dealing with a plaintext client (neomutt in my case). "Power Users" use the keyboard to navigate gmail. Normal (neo)mutt users use those _all_ the time and they're faster because there's so much less for the computer to do with each keystroke.
Algebraic effects are the opposite of "side" effects: they are intentional and controlled. In haskell, the effects of a function are described explicitly in its type (and transitively to its callers' types).

How Duolingo Built a $700M Business with Its Addictive Language-Learning App
dozens of dullard derivative wannabe copycats who utterly lack the imagination to put out something novel and stimulating.

This is true, and describes one of the huge failings of the music industry. But there's more. At the same time the record labels are pumping out this dreck, there are plenty of truly fantastic artists that just aren't getting lucky. Even those that make it to what they believe is the holy grail - a record contract - aren't getting a real break because they're hard to find in the rest of the crap.

I'm a developer in real life, but a serious photography amateur as a hobby. I happen to have fallen into a lot of music stuff, being the official photographer for an annual musical in my town, and some other stuff. I've developed relationships with a bunch of musicians through this. A few that are clearly a cut above the rest have gotten signed (and I think the labels have shown pretty good judgment at this level). But even of these, I haven't seen anybody break through into real success.

One band whose album actually charted recently called it quits because they couldn't sustain it with the day jobs necessary to survive. Another guy quit his job to pursue music full time. But what supports him (and his family) is primarily sales of his paintings, plus a little income from merch and "house concerts".

I think that the awfulness of the industry is part of the problem. But it's also that we've got an embarrassment of riches. The ability to make music - and to record it professionally - is within the reach of nearly anyone who has that dream. So it's become too competitive, and the available choices for consumers is too large to cut through the noise effectively. This is where the failures of the industry hit, I think - their business model is geared toward finding the next giant star, rather than serving an incredibly diverse range of tastes, helping each of us find what we'd individually prefer.
Zoning, in particular, is a terrible scourge on communities. It's hard to overstate the social damage caused by making it essentially illegal to build a functioning "village". I would go so far as to assert that it essentially shreds the fabric of society, both directly (by robbing people of shared local activities and context), and indirectly (by forcing everyone into cars to get anything done, where they can't interact with one another).

If you've ever lived in a town where shops, parks, living quarters, and government buildings are cheek-by-jowl within walking distance, a "zoned" area feels like a desert - unable to sustain life.
This was on purpose, as "brain" is a fuzzy, complex thing whereas taking a license to use NN as a (limited) model of learning and reinforcement echoes to some much more precise concept including its behaviour and corner cases that many around here know about when playing with CUDA but fail to make the leap that our brain/mind/psychology (see? fuzzy!) works quite the same way.

A well formatted html email has the potential to be much more readable than any plaintext one. The issues come in execution.
