Cool, I'm glad to see planned obsolescence is actually enforceable.

"This is the angriest $1500 I've ever spent on a brand new iPhone, but I will probably do this again next year," says one iPhone user.
I've never quite understood that argument that only little people benefit from jail time and important people do not. Surely if we can put someone in jail for a year for having a forbidden plant in their pocket then we could put someone in jail for - how about a week? Three days? An hour? - for choosing to cut corners on safety and smashing two planes full of people into jelly?

The root cause here is "Boeing management wanted to get a plane out quick so they didn't lose market share". The way to examine the system and make sure this doesn't repeat (for now...) is to put someone in jail for it. Then the next time that some plane company wants to cut corners and get an unsafe plane out quick, some manager who doesn't want to go to jail will put a stop to it.

Show me the flaw in my logic.
Meh. It looks like the UK's measles problem at least was mainly caused by the mainstream media acting as a vector for disinformation back in 1998, before most people had internet access: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... Current childhood vaccination rates are much better than they were back then, but unfortunately there are still a lot of people who're now in their teens and early twenties who have no immunity because they missed out on vaccinations.

This obviously does vary from country to country. Greece's big problem is more the complete destruction of its economy over the past decade and the vast damage this has done to healthcare access there.

Don't them all? Once you get to niche products, there are even web stores out there that only list their parts in PDF.
It doesn't just send a list of libraries, it actually uploads the libraries [1].

You seriously think that's a good use of bandwidth?

Strangely, it doesn't do that on any machine I have access to, despite the fact that I can find nothing in my .vimrc file that would suppress it. If I run `vim -u NONe` as the sibling comment suggested then I do see the message.
I actually do. I have a couple of different silicone plugs with different capabilities, including hifi, low att, etc.

They work, but it's annoying wearing them in all the time. I also have Sony XM3 adjusted to reduce most (not full) noise with anc and that helps quite a bit as well.
Technically correct is the best kind of correct ;-)
>Here's a great guideline for "best by" and other dates: if the product has one, don't buy it. I don't think I've bought a product with one in several years.

This doesn't make sense to me unless our locales differ greatly in labelling practices. Virtually everything but fresh produce comes with a date. Even independent butcher shops close the wrapping paper with a date sticker.
I grew up pre-Internet and I don't regret not having had access to it when growing up at all. The schools I went to had good libraries as did the town. I'm not sure I would have got more out of the Internet than I did out of books; I'm also not saying that I wouldn't, just that it is not a foregone conclusion that having access to a firehose is necessarily a better way to slake ones thirst than from a less dramatic tap.

I had no trouble finding textbooks, I could ask my high school teachers, my university tutor, my friends, classmates, and so on for help. As for the esoteric subjects, well they are esoteric precisely because not many people are interested in them so I don't think I lost out there either.

The amount of information available to me in the late sixties and seventies was already many orders of magnitude more than any one person could consume.

Let's use reheated rice instead of chicken.

Cook rice. Chill the rice. Store it correctly. Reheat it thoroughly.

Sniff it at every stage.

Can you smell the bacillus cereus, can you smell the toxins they produce? The toxins are not destroyed by heat from cooking, and this is a very common form of food poisoning.

Stop telling people they can smell food poisoning. They can't.

> It disingenuous to ignore the parent's very next sentence,

No, because parent poster is talking about ignoring the "arbitrary" food safety dates. If you ignore the date you significantly increase the risk of food poisoning, and not all of those are fixed by thorough cooking.

For many people food poisoning might be a few days of unpleasant illness, but we need to remember that it can also be a life-changing illness.
Is this really a thoughtful or useful comment? It's a completely unsubstantiated smear of the writer because you don't agree with his take on the case.
In an ancap utopia you mean? Point is that if you control the courts and police then whatever you do can be declared legal. And you can make money not necessarily lose money buying a controlling stake in all the courts and even renting them AirBNB style to your rich buddies. There are no other institutions left, that have any teeth, you bought all the major ones. If they come after you, your police will just rebuff them.

The point is people band together to create larger and more powerful organizations. But it still doesn’t solve all instances just pushes the corruption to a higher level.

In my website, to complete a course a user has to submit a project which can be anything related to the course. Companies use this and tasks they have completed in the past to figure out who to give the task too.

Would this be counted as personal project or would companies think that users are just submitting a project to complete the course rather than because of their passion

This doesn't seem to follow from the sentences that proceeded it. The remedy to inattentive parenting is doomsday prepping?

Gardening and other "fundamental" activities can be great ways for parents to spend meaningful time with their children, but the goal isn't to prepare our children for the impending collapse of civilization, right?
That's really helpful; thank you! I'm going to borrow a few phrases and ideas from your post. Your "two questions" approach is a really good insight for the kind of information that needs to be present and obvious in whatever we go with. I appreciate the feedback.
I'm pretty guilty of food waste. In particular fresh produce. But to be honest I'm unrepentant about it.

The health benefits of a diet high in fruits and vegetables are just enormous. I'd much rather over-buy than under-buy. If someone in the household ends up eating junk food because there was no fruit/veggie option, that's a disastrous failure condition. The solution is to make sure that we never run out of fruits and vegetables, which necessarily entails keeping excess inventory that will eventually be thrown out.

Is this financially wasteful? In a very narrow sense, sure. Yet even in just economic terms the health benefits from a diet high in fruits and vegetables overwhelms any grocery bill considerations. At the end of the day produce is much cheaper than insulin.
I experienced burnout the first time I went to college. This was after years of school though having changed majors and transferring/lost lots of credits. And I mean a LONG time was spent I really should have taken a year or two off. Busting my rear end while having to be broke and slumming it for years on end with no rewards took its toll. At the end I was just pulling myself out of bed and going through the motions and not really caring about grades anymore. Burnout never crossed my mind since it's always something you associate with high stress jobs. Turned out it was a very expensive misunderstanding.
> “big dog” is an idiomatic phrase

Not a super common one though, and even if you were using the idiom you wouldn't write "black big dog" because it still sounds incorrect and makes it less clear you're using the idiom.
I was perfectly fine with Chrome's usability until I started getting a `Hold Command + Q` to quit` prompt on my Mac. Before then, I hadn't even considered the possibility that an application could block me from quickly and easily quitting out of it. Now I have to hold the key combo or double tap it to quit Chrome, and it is the only application I have to do that for. It's so annoying.

How to get the attention of a busy person
Makes sense but most of these aren't really actionable unless you're at the top. Other than quitting to find a better culture of course. For example, 3. Manage your digital distractions, mentions Tim Cook. I'm sure he can decide to cut down on his notifications, but if you're working at a place where Slack is used, there's 100 channels and you're expected to respond quickly by the management, your only choice is to leave.
Advertisements are designed to make you feel informed, rather than to actually inform you. When a product is bad, inferior to the competition or just generally harmful to you (think: sugary soda pop ads), advertising professionals will promote it with just as much vim and vigor, if not more.

(To the extent that bad products get more enthusiastic advertising, in a perverse sense viewing ads might actually make you a more informed consumer if you deliberately avoid any product with slick marketing. However I cannot advocate for such an approach because I think the theoretical advantage here is washed out by the practical reality that advertising will effect you in ways contrary to your own interest, but in line with corporate interests.)
One thing that wasn't clear to me from this post is why they still need the C++ interpreter at all. I assume there is some non-obvious cost that makes it not worth it for the coldest of code, but I'm having a hard time guessing what it may be.
Naming a learning platform "Sugar" is like naming a rehab clinic "Heroin"
The translation is correct, but your interpretation is wrong. "Spießbürger" is a medieval term, referring to citizens enlisted in a city's defense forces as spearmen, and was originally used derogatorily by the upper classes, who were mounted on horses instead. Later, it was mostly used by students to ridicule the "uneducated" masses. See famous German poet Heinrich Heine (translated from the Wikipedia article):

"In general, the residents of Göttingen are divided into students, professors, philistines, and beasts... The number of philistines of Göttingen is rather large, like sand, or more precisely, like shit by the seashore; truly, when I saw them in the morning, with their dirty faces and white invoices, before the gates of the academic court, I could barely believe how God could create so much scum."

The modern use of the word, referring to somebody who is petty, obedient to any authority, bland and unpleasant, was probably shaped by Ödön von Horvath's novel "Der ewige Spießer" (The Eternal Philistine). The pejorative was popular among German students in the wake of the anti-fascist protests of 1968, referring to those set in their (Nazi) ways due to lack of critical thinking.

Note: Most of this comment is just me summarizing the German Wikipedia article on the word. I am not a philologist.
This would sound fresh if it had been written in 2011. Now, it just sounds like it was written by a republican senator.
Most smartphones that are out of a battery can give you magnetic north if you also have a big rock (smash phone apart), and make a compass leaf out of a piece of metal in the phone, something like a leaf and a patch of still water. The phone most likely has a magnet (e.g. in the speaker) to magnetize the metal.
As a human being (that happens to be a US citizen), I find OP's comment really disturbing.

The whole comment is whataboutism, so maybe this was just an intentional red herring.
Almost all of those points are true of any mainstream architecture (x86, ARM aren't going anywhere, your skills are valuable today, you don't have to throw away any code anytime soon, Rust works today on both) and the others ("chip of choice for AI", "defacto standard", "simplicity means less bugs") are either entirely arguable or outright naivety, they don't say anything unique. The ISA being experimented with and extensions being made is certainly an undeniable plus, though.

People on this website just hype it to outrageous levels because the ISA is all 95% of them interact with at any level, and sometimes not even then, so all other factors/considerations are completely ignored in favor of just believing it's really The Best (and I say that as someone who owns real RISC-V hardware and am writing my own emulator, and want it to succeed.)

But you don't have to just make stuff up to sell it. You can just say "It's a pretty good ISA, it's freely available/modifiable, and there's a ton of good tooling already available for it". That's a pretty good sell on its own, to be perfectly honest.
This bugs me big time, I wonder what was the decision behind such inconvenient UX.
I'm sure that will be the case for certain companies. For companies who routinely deal with PII, PCI, or other regulated data the security teams are likely to be much more worried about the potential for sensitive data to be inadvertently shared outside of the company. Even if it is communiques about only business sensitive matters (e.g., iPhone 12 XXL release) that is not something very security conscious companies will be happy having in the hands of a third-party without an appropriate security review.

Having run a security program at such a company, at the minimum I would expect a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit of your company before I would allow my company to utilize your services as it is tightly integrated to our internal communication platforms.

This isn't to say you need that now but you should understand there are segments of the potential customer base that will not work with you without being able to pass that level of scrutiny.
I'm surprised that functionality isn't possible to disable, but tbh I really like it. Too many times a finger slip turns Cmd+W into Cmd+Q and suddenly I'm lost a whole pile of tab state, possibly even half-submitted forms. Yuck.
If it's authed all the way down to your SSN, it means that government owns the identities used in the system.

What exactly do you need a blockchain for in such a scenario? Ah right - the unchangeability.

Well, then it means that in all scenarios with the stolen identities we would need to provide for a mechanism to delete the reviews, based on the government-provided data on distrusted SSNs.

In a scenario where we don't allow the reviews to be post-deleted, we are rampantly increasing the value of stealing an identity, which means that the motivation for that goes up a lot.

Now, it means that the only entity that is actually responsible for the correctness of the data in our database is the government.

Now, why do you need a blockchain for that if you could simply have a database backed by the government in the first place?
I agree, and yes, we do the same when that option is available.
I first learnt of network namespaces from configuring WireGuard. They offer a very neat way of ensuring all traffic uses your wg interface, in brief:

- create a new netns, call it 'physical' say

- move your physical device's interface to 'physical'

- create wg interface in 'physical'

- move wg interface to init ns

It works because it 'remembers' where it was created and remains bound to it for sending encrypted packets over the physical device, but is now the only interface available to processes by default (i.e. without a superuser making them use 'physical' ns directly).

Not long enough; want to read more: https://www.wireguard.com/netns
Totally.

FWIW, I built all the functionality into rqlite from the very start, for exactly those reasons. In the real world a database must be operated.

>Well, mcDonalds draws maps of where their workers put their feet, and then designs the kitchens to minimize the number of steps the workers needs to take to complete their jobs.

In a completely different field (architecture, public spaces, parks) it has become common (and I find it a particularly smart approach) to create a new garden/public space/park with no "paths" and open it to the public.

And put some benches "here and there" semi-randomly.

Soon the grass will be worn out where people actually walks (i.e. people that needs to cross the park because it needs to go from point A to point B), so there you make the actual paved paths and the same goes for benches, some will have a path in the grass leading to them and some will look like never used, etc.

But when it comes to Excel (or similar software) there is a difference.

In the case of McDonalds personnel are instructed on exactly what they have to do and how exactly do it, i.e. their footsteps are their own optimization of an exactly specified chore.

In the case of the people on public parks there is no need for instructions, as people actually needs to go through the park to get from point A to point B and knows where they love to seat down.

In the case of Excel (or similar software) the issue is IMHO that most often than not the user doesn't actually know what he/she is doing, in the sense that user may (and often does) take a "wrong" or exceedingly convoluted path to get to the actual wanted result (when/if he/she actually gets to the result AND the result is actually correct).

I often deal with people that (most probably in good faith) bluffed their way in "familiarity with Office" on their resumè and never actually learned to work in Excel, the spreadsheet they make are "terrible", with material (and sometimes also conceptual) mistakes that are all fine if you are using Excel to - say - keep your monthly budget under control but that cause (big) issues if you are using it at work to manage a project expenses/production/forecasts, a bid offer or similar.

Feedback/telemetry from these users would "dumbify" the product and probably even make it much worse.

I'm not sure that would actually be that big of an issue.

Let's say you have some sort of model where a monthly subscription gives you an MIT license for all commits made that month. Who is actually going to go to the trouble of mirroring every commit or release from upstream to their own public repository? If somebody actually did that gratuitously, the copyright owner could just decline to renew their subscription the following month.

I'm sure there's some issues with this that I'm not thinking of, but I think generally if somebody is willing to pay you for a license, they're not going to be a jerk and try to undermine your business.
