I believe you are mistaken. It clearly states in the title and post that he purchased a Verizon version of the phone and not a factory unlocked version.

From Apple's point of view, the phone IS unlocked. However, since its tied to Verizon, the phone is carrier locked because of the FCC ruling, linked by another user.

This is a sucky situation and Apple could have made people aware of a Verizon policy that could influence their decision. However, in my opinion, the outrage is misplaced.
Well, he defected. Please understand I'm trying to understand him better myself, because his actions don't match the high-minded platitudes he claims to espouse: he didn't file a lawsuit, write criticism of his bosses, policies, etc, run for congress or started lobbying to improve the system. He bypassed all those mechanisms and dumped programs. We can't have the public oversee every method to gather information, or it wouldn't be very effective.

And judging by the posts/comments I read on here and news sites, I'm not sure people understand the difference between information gathering, criminal investigations, and consumer / medical / etc. privacy. Don't you think it'd be better to agree on a common ground that these are different purposes before engaging in a dialectic on it?

I bring up him having workplace / life stress, because he's human. He fits a model very similar to traitors who worked for their gov that spied for other countries, except he replaced his handler was a journalist. What he says here is spooky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9yK1QndJSM&t=70

Put is this way: Why should I get my safety as a US person put at risk so someone can publicize their story that someone leaked something again? In that video at 1:00. He's trying to make it so classification basically no longer has meaning, if they defect to a journalist.

> Besides the unconstitutionality of inwards-facing spying it is also a red herring.

I'd think a normal person would expect that: if you're a national, your government should be protecting you, not targeting you with those tools. Unless it's your intent to destroy it somehow.

For the sake of encouraging understanding: I think constitution is used as a way to imply subjectivity of what feels right. Unless you have court decisions to mention. The constitution hasn't been updated much and the case law is porous. Example: Unopened email after a certain time is treated as abandoned.

Don't you think the policies around the use of the data gathering tool / method is more important than the tool existing or not? Based on how Snowden evangelization goes: if we took its philosophy to its logical end, people will just leak every source / method, the system will never improve, and it wouldn't be very safe for us!
I used Amtrak a lot in that era and I've never seen that.
Hmm. That’s a lot of location info there.

Hey, I watched the video and found it interesting that the guy interviewed people in Berkeley and New York - places where voter suppression is not an issue.

Ah, but the capital cost of p->g->p is very low, per kW of capacity, compared to a nuclear plant. Like, an order of magnitude cheaper. Combustion turbines are so damned cheap compared to nuclear plants.

(The p->g part can be spread out over longer time periods, with the gas stored underground.)
> Gmail on iOS is especially annoying because we often have to open links that require sign-in (e.g. Github) and there's no way to make it open Safari, but it does have an option for opening "Chrome" (also a shell around an iOS webview).

This is false. GMail has settings for choosing chrome or safari - settings > default apps.
> Education is overvalued, Capital is under appreciated,

Capitalists downplay the importance of capital and highlight stories that distract from it because recognition of the importance of capital would lead to intolerance of the concentration of capital.
As a non-citizen I think it is fair to expect enforcement of only one vote per citizen and to verify that the right person votes.

Your assertion on how common voter fraud is contradic former NYC Democratic Commissioner of the Board of Elections Alan Schulkin which says it is prevalent in New York City, and he thinks there is a need for Voter ID laws: https://twitter.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/117511800314022297...

Lots of things prevent someone from doing that, and certainly there's a very good reason why everyone can't do that. I mean why do you think no one is doing that? It can't just be because it painful or unpleasant, lots of people have terrible hobbies.

Try to actually think about what would be required, what resources they would have had available to them, instead of just putting hunter/gatherer in a magic box. There are a bunch of different reasons why you can't do it these days, poaching laws being one of the most obvious.

Who's land are you going to hunt/gather on? I feel like you haven't actually thought about this.
Indeed. They are also additionally constrained by their knowledge and understanding of the universe of possible solutions rather than being able to draw from the larger combined knowledge pool of themselves and the builders.
I find it humorous that the comments on that post so ardently defend Apple's disclosure fail by citing disjoint Verizon policy and/or brushing off as obscure operator switchology.
Like gun ownership and free speech, you have the right to vote in America.

So, if the government wanted to make it harder for the bad guys to own a gun... why should the good guys have to suffer for it?

Similarly, just because the government wants to prevent bad guys from voting, then why should the good guys have to suffer the consequences?
I suggest you take a look at the books by Michael Pont and the offerings through his company "SafeTTy Systems". His/Company's work deals with hard real-time systems with all the associated standards.
He didn't pay for an iPhone. He 'upgraded' and is most likely on a payment plan. He stated he used the 'upgrade' program.

If he really wanted an unlocked iphone 11 pro max, he could have REALLY paid the $1500 to Apple to get the generic unlocked phone that is an option to EVERYONE regardless of carrier.

Look at the apple store, anyone can get the generic unlocked phone straight from Apple. Yet he chose the Verizon version.

All I'm saying is I have no sympathy for this. He tried to circumvent the Verizon unlock policy and failed.

He could have chosen the generic unlocked version. This at best was just a dumb choice on his part. Not Apple's fault
Can you elaborate more? What do other languages have over std::variant/visit?
> Other countries were able to figure it out, so can we

I mean the solution to #1 is obvious: forced registration. I think you'll have a hard time getting people on board with passing a law for that.

It just seems like an hour at the DMV would solve all 3 problems at once: provide address, current photo, and reduce fraud/abuse. Seems like a good system to me.

Can you give me an example of what other country(-ies) system you're thinking about? I'm curious how it's handled elsewhere as well without the need to appear in person to get an ID.
I am sure anti-union folks would spread that propaganda, yes.
> The only responsibility proposed here is to present obviously illegal union-busting as grounds for terminating a contract.

What of the alleged anti-union activity is "obviously illegal?" As far as I can read, USW accuses HCL of scheduling mandatory meetings where it makes anti-union statements. That is not illegal. USW never in its press release claimed that any of HCL's actions were illegal, nor did the article claim that any illegal conduct had taken place.
Interesting. Your view, except for that towards Chinese judicial system, aligns perfectly with Carrie Lam. Literally everything she said about the movement is found here.

I'm providing views from the movement's supporters' side, and it's nice to have the ruler's side for others' reference as well.

But then your generic array of generic dictionaries needs to be mapped to whatever data structures make sense for your application. ORMs save you that step.
What information is the registry supposed to contain? What if I don't want to put my information there?

The last time I checked my credit report, it was a (false) list of ex-employers and ex-addresses.

The credit agencies use "undisclosed" methods to verify their data. What would the government do instead?
The Tau lepton is ~3000x more massive than the Electron lepton. I see no reason to doubt that there are more massive leptons or bosons. I speculate that they can be predicted along something called the Regge Scale.

I imagine the black hole behaves like a supermassive accelerator, and the energy actually escapes as extra-super-massive "elementary particles" which we can't build telescopes big enough to sense, and basically flow through our own bosonic field like bigger waves. (Perhaps we can see them decay-spiraling through the "gas clouds".)

And at various harmonic reaches of these singular mass-energy units, they decay into the more common and stable particles, feeding stars and fuzzing up Magellan.

Another reasoning: When you put quarks together, and put the results together with some leptons, you get more massive things like atoms, molecules, and all "matter". Quarks are stackable. Leptons are cumulative. The Higgs Boson is already very massive, and isn't stable on Earth, but maybe it is stable in the black hole, and can scale to whatever mass the fabric of that energy-space requires.

Personally, I think the black hole ultra-collides quarks and leptons into highest energy "elementary particles", and that energy feeds these bubbles, which can be described as ultimo-massive bosons decaying, into lesser boson and also leptons and quarks, far out away from the black hole. I would not be surprised if one day it was found that astral bodies tended to form along some predictable distances from galactic center; where the bosonic field is decaying very predictably into the stuff that fuels the creation of those same astral bodies.
A discount for a 60-day carrier lock? I feel like that could only be worth a few cents at best.

And, even so, exactly zero of those, AFAIK, were so early as to have raised their first million that way, underlining the grandparent’s point.
Meanwhile NGOs like the http://www.hilfe-tschernobyl.de/ fund the removal of tumours of kids from Belarus who suffer due to the accident and support local hospitals and hospices where victims are being treated or live their last days.
There are plenty of known GC algorithms with arbitrarily bounded pause times. They do limit the speed at which the mutator threads can allocate, but per-frame allocations can be done the same way they are done in a non-GC'd environment (just allocate a pool and return everything to it at the end of each frame), and any allocations that are less frequent will likely be sufficiently rare for such algorithms.

I know people who have written games in common-lisp despite no implementations having anything near a low-latency GC. They do so by not using the allocator at all during the middle of levels (or using it with the GC disabled, then manually GCing during level-load times).
Psst...you can easily keep reading Bloomberg, just keep opening articles in incognito windows.

I agree with what the Glassdoor recommendation. Besides that, maybe for your position's "compensation ratio". If the company is big enough, they'll have a ratio that compares your salary to the average (or median) for that position.

Edit: grammar
My wife is the opposite of me in that she's never met a stranger. I like it, because I get to occasionally have these unique experiences that I'd never find myself in on my own.

So we're waiting to catch a train back to Prague and she ends up chatting with this other American who was there with her daughter. They continued talking the whole way back on the train and we ended up having dinner and romping around together for the rest of the night.
It's not shitty. There is a generic unlocked version available on the Apple store if you pay full price up front.

He could have chosen that option, bit he wanted to use hos Verizon upgrade credit. I'm sure he saw the policy on the verizon site & thought he was being smart, no he's crying.
You are probably talking about a Cafe Car, not a Dining Car. A dining car is (was) a fully self-contained restaurant. This move is essentially replacing that with your stale bagel vendor.
There's still the Amtrak observation car, which is fantastic for striking up conversations.

One time I got seated on the Coast Starlight observation between two model train enthusiasts.

One had sold his business manufacturing extremely authentic model train cars and had gone to work for Dell, but when I met him had just left Dell to go work for the person he sold his train business to.

The other was a day laborer who saved up money to take train rides as vacations. I still remember what he said as he was disembarking: "People ask me why don't you ever get married, and I tell them, 'I am married! I'm married to the trains.'"
Nonetheless, Go has many advantages over C that are not related to GC.
> but most power sources' failure modes don't include "render a large area uninhabitable for a century".

Large scale hydro is probably the closest to nuclear in this respect.

And is notable because it's success mode also does something similar.

(Of course, the “success” mode of fossil fuel power renders the whole planet uninhabitable, but not from a single average-size generating station.)

What about Pascal, then?
I adore dining cars. There is something SO COOL about a self-contained restaurant which takes in power, water, and ingredients in one side and delivers fed people out the other. For people who don't know the first floor of these cars is generally a kitchen, the second a dining room where folks order (ordered) off a menu and were served food by a waiter. They've been a part of American trains since at least the mid-1880s, but no longer...
I wonder why the author didn't mention Pascal. Hmm...
In fairness to the hypothetical manager, there are plenty of people with the title of programmer who are unwilling/incapable of such translation. If it were merely sufficient to speak with Area Programmer(tm) then outsourcing would be perfectly fine.
You are conflating the name of the program with the concept of "upgrading" an old phone. If you read the thread, he didn't "upgrade" anything. The "iPhone Upgrade Program" is the name of a program that Apple runs, that allows you to upgrade your iPhone every year. A bank that Apple contracts with loans the money for the phone - it is similar to putting it on a credit card, and is not tied to any carrier. It appears that he signed up under the program for a new phone for his girlfriend, which going forward could be upgraded every year under the program.

It doesn't appear that he tried "circumvent" anything, as he was told by Apple that the phone was going to be unlocked.
That is still a somewhat dramatic move, since it constitutes a taxable event.
I suspect this person has spent more time at this point raging on the internet than it would take to exchange the phone, or otherwise solve their issue.

Apple Support will mail you pre-paid packaging to return these if you don’t want to drive 120 miles (which they cite as a key problem).

They have a great 14 day return policy which I used today for an iPhone 11 Pro Max. No hassles. Full refund with no questions.
Articles like these ultimately say nothing new either. It points to the uncertainty in the implications of genemoddings future where essentially the stakes are higher and often so far less reversible than digital debugging. Okayyy, but the average folk would take this less as a warning and more of an endorsement towards an idea of a bioethical imperative to slow or obfuscate any progress imo(after all people buy into gmo skepticism and that's based in ignorance to basic biology).

He wanted to use his Verizon upgrade credit, so Verizon's 60 day policy applies.

He could have paid full price up front and got the generic unlocked version available to everyone.
That tweetmap is impressive
Definitely. I rode the California Zephyr earlier this year and really liked the dining car. The staff was great and the food was decent. It wasn't the best meal ever, but it was definitely my best meal in a moving vehicle. And I liked the structure the fixed dining hours gave to the day. This change seems like a loss to me.
I'm pretty sure that you need an ID in order to buy a gun.
I've traveled on that train a significant amount of times; there's multiple models. The old one has the nice dining car - the newer trains have like 4 tables.

Most food eaten on that train is actually eaten by people in their seats, and this is true across most European train routes.

I should note, that I love the dining car and nothing is better than a good coffee and watching the scenery go by.

Doesn't legacy admissions have a racial impact since the racial mix of students has been changing so rapidly? That is, white applicants benefit the most simply because the % of white Harvard alums (relative to all alums) is greater than the % of white applicants (relative to all applicants)...but in a steady state system where race was the same over a couple generations, that impact would cease. I'm not a fan of legacy admissions in general but if you wanted to keep it in place, the fairest way might be to silo its impact within each racial group, so that a white legacy has an advantage over non-legacy whites but no advantage over non-legacy applicants of other races.
Incorrect. Apple asks users to select a carrier, however the site clearly states that all iPhones sold by Apple, including those under the IUP, are unlocked. That is a misrepresentation by Apple.

Many people buy the unlocked Verizon version of iPhones, regardless of their carrier, because only that specific version supports both CDMA and GSM. The issue is that Apple has not updated their website to reflect Verizon's 60 day policy. The thread clearly states that he bought the phone directly from Apple.
This is sad, some friends of mine recently booked a cross country train trip for their honeymoon, the spoke specifically about being excited to experience the dining car.
I've definitely had it before where I was alone at night and it sounded like I was listening to the radio or something like that. Like nothing directed towards me, but voices cutting in and out about different things.

I suppose it's not hearing voices that makes you crazy, but when you start listening to them and doing what they say...
Coffee shops that wish to encourage socialization can provide large tables which seat 6-12 rather than two-tops.

I was a regular at a coffee shop for 7 years, and this was one of the reasons. (RIP Rebecca's Coffee House.) I met lots of people by striking up conversations with someone seated at the same large table.

(Some people don't want to talk, but if you have the social skills to read the signs, it's no big deal.)
To be fair, talking with customers seemed terrifying to me when I was a new developer. But eventually I realized that the job was only done really when they were happy, so the best thing to do was to learn to talk with them.

Getting rid of this buffer is literally nothing. There is no free upon the individual objects needed. You just forget there was anything there and use the same buffer for the next frame. Vs. Waiting for a GC to detect thousands of unused objects in that buffer and discard them, meanwhile creating a new batch of thousands of objects and having to figure out where to put those.
Assuming that you're right that 96% have an ID, then what problem are we solving by forcing the other 4% into getting an ID? Is it even a problem? Do you have data to show that it is a real problem?

Trump set up an entire committee to investigate voter fraud in the 2016 election and apparently found so little they were disbanded and never released their findings.

And I’m not basing much of my world view on that guys unsubstantiated claims or three video clips posted on Project Veritas (a Conservative non-profit which receives funding from the Koch brothers).

There’s a tweet from Governor Abbot talking about investigating this issue from 2018. I conveniently see zero follow up as to the results of that investigation.
Light gets slowed down whenever it passes through any medium. For example, it can take thousands of years for the light produced by fusion in the Sun to reach the surface of the photosphere. Neutrinos, on the other hand, can pass through the Sun largely unimpeded and reach us far more quickly. This is in spite of the fact that neutrinos do not travel as fast as light in a vacuum.

The same possibility holds true for gravitational waves, since they are unimpeded by matter as well. They even have the advantage of propagating at the speed of light, unlike neutrinos.
I'm on a desktop though - no GPS/wifi.
