There is one but the premium is the same as the gold plan.
For the "big data" stuff under discussion, you're probably spinning up an instance for some training then turning it off again. $7/hour for an hour or two a day, is about $4k/year. Maybe you retrain weekly and it's only $500/year. At that kind of price point, who cares? As the person making these algorithms, I'd hate to have to wait to order new machines for me to run something new, or to schedule time on the cluster or whatever, instead of just throwing an elastic amount of money at it.
If he could afford to bribe all the necessary parties in China I'm sure that some other nation could be found as well. Would that even be required? Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, where naval reactors are developed, is in a suburb of Pittsburgh (surprisingly, it appears that Cyrus K. Bettis was no relation to Jerome) and has always been run by defense contractors. Lots of nuclear facilities in USA (e.g. the one in Paducah where my grandfather was exposed to radiation) have been hazards to surrounding communities. The whole point of these micronukes is that there is less nuclear fuel involved. I'm just not seeing the obstacle here, which makes me suspect the real obstacle is as yet unmentioned.

Sure, you should be annoyed, since it's caused by them using DRM ;) I pointed it out very explicitly in the original comment. I.e. it's not like they are specifically anti-Linux, they are simply DRM obsessed. Which of course doesn't make it any better for Linux users.
The problem is probably your TV. All TV manufacturers try to get away with the cheapest bill of materials possible for their “smart” components. Roku’s CEO said during a Recode Media interview that it’s their goal to make their platform run well while only adding about $20 to the hardware cost. You really can’t expect much from a low cost streaming stick or the built in components on TVs.

I got two free AppleTV 4K’s by taking advantage of a promotion from DirectTv Now, the difference in performance between them - with an Apple A10x chip - and the built in Roku TV is noticeable.

But if you have a smart TV that’s not a Roku, it’s probably even worse.
It makes cows sad.
>But what if your coworker likes attending KKK rallies and you're African-American? Or your co-worker is out there on the weekend holding signs that say "Death to Gays" and you just happen to be gay?

Yes yes, we can all dream up the very worst case scenario and other outliers. As someone else pointed out, companies generally have contract clauses that even govern social media whereby if you represent the company poorly you'll be fired. I'm sure that easily extends to your proposed sign waving homophobe.

The point the GP made was that most people have a lot more in common than they differ on, but in this hyper-politicized era those differences have been magnified to become an issue of pure division and likely shouldn't be brought into work with you.
>The main thing I would worry about is actually not Apple; instead (1) what information might Apple hide in plaintext in the image that a third party could extract?; and (2) what identifiers might there be that a third party could use to correlate multiple images as from gorgoiler?

A lot, actually. But why Apple would take the engineering resources to implement this, and risk all the reputation damage? If they're doing it for the money, how would they monetize it? If they're being coerced by the government, what's the government's motivations? In both cases, is smuggling bits in screenshots really the most plausible way to do it? Surely there must be some better way stenography in screenshots?

>But honestly it just feels odd to upload a screenshot without doing something to scrub it. I find it helpful to practice good security even when, as you point out, the probability of it being necessary is very low.

On the flip side, if you do unusual obfuscation of your uploaded image (eg. heavy post processing), that in itself is an identifying characteristic. You're going to be that guy who uploads his screenshots in greyscale, with heavy compression and blurring. https://xkcd.com/1105/
Israel is not a good location for a Middle East factory. Most countries in the region will not trade with it, and even those that will, like Jordan and Egypt, do not have free trade or good transportation links with the country.

The studies you're linking and the conclusion you're reaching are based on the general idea of eating fruit. Dates have a much higher sugar content by volume/weight than fresh fruit (and are higher than a lot of other dried fruits too I believe).

> "A major point is that most fruit isn't sweet enough to dramatically sweeten a product."

Yes, dried dates are not like "most" fruit. They are sweet enough to "dramatically sweeten a product", that would be the reason they are used for that exact purpose.

Edit: I googled it; dates are anywhere from 40-80% sugar, depending on the variety (https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Sugar-content-of-fresh-a...).
Even undried dates are at least 40% sugar, which surprised me.
It’s the TV. The built in apps on all smart TVs are subpar.
They're not even remotely substitutable. Different plant milks aren't even culinarily substitutable for each other. It's like substituting vinegar for cooking wine: broadly speaking, it'll usually work, but they're really not the same thing.

"milk" is more of a visual descriptor than a culinary classification.
I guess this is just another flavor of claiming one's kid was a top rower for their high school crew team. But I guess many parents will use whatever means then can ( legal or illegal ) to give their children a leg up.

Also, I find it interesting that many schools ( in the US ) will do away with SAT scores because it is unfair to disadvantaged students. But they will not get rid of their legacy admissions program which is the most biased criteria against disadvantaged students. The irony here is that the SAT score was used to counter bias against disadvantaged students in the first place. It was viewed as the only "objective" part of the admissions process which could not be "bought".

My solution to end unfairness in college admissions process is a points based lottery. Each college publicly sets out a points system for GPA, extracurricular activity, SAT, athletics, legacy, etc that they will apply to an applicant and derive a score. Each college publicly sets a "mininum/cutoff" score. Every applicant with a score above the cutoff will enter an independently monitored lottery. The lottery will select the freshman class out of the pool of candidates.
Something that confuses me about the corporate culture at Microsoft where stuff like this happens all the time. Let's imagine that an entire team of people worked tirelessly to design, engineer a $1.5-2k device, and manufacture something that most likely took a couple of years. Now how on earth did they release this thing and not have an earnest plan to also ship their own first party ARM64 binaries with it?

I cannot think of any other company where this is remotely acceptable. I'm not even comparing them to Apple that sets the gold standard for all the various organizations working together.

Can you imagine if Google released their Pixel 4 but instead shipped the 32-bit Android OS with it because the 64-bit version required some extra drivers?
Yes - for the software they (disclaimer: we) build. We don't provide healthcare. The comparison with Disney seems misleading.
It's not really about that, so much as wanting to avoid what happened to the Bay Area. Massive gentrification, something Berlin has already struggled with for about 10 years (almost its defining issue in modern times IMO), is a serious problem if the rest of the city is rather poor, which Berlin actually was in the 2000s compared to the rest of the country ("poor but sexy", as it was sold).
> this lays the grounds for a surveillance state

We already have a surveillance state in the USA without the convenience of good digital authentication with tokenized opt-in data-access authentications, as described by GP.

I'd rather have the benefits of a more mature authentication system. We in the USA pass around 3-4 strings (Social Security ID, Full Name, Date of Birth, Mother's Maiden Name, sometimes Street Address and/or Zip Code) and that is used as a proxy for Authorization (not even authentication).

It's ridiculously easy to get defrauded of your entire life savings (or more) in the US because knowledge of those strings (and sometimes a few more) is enough to someone to get access to a loan, mortgage, a cell phone (possibly porting/transferring from your existing SIM/line) in my name.
I tried to play the about PeerTube video and selected 1080p and got about a second, then spent most of the time waiting while it buffered... very slowly (100-200KB/s), whereas YouTube 1080p is near-instant. I would have thought there (probably) most popular video should be well seeded, but I only see like 2 seeds on it.
On the other hand, if I was at the head of a company the scale of Facebook I'd just admit my past mistakes, apologise and do my best to regain people's trust. To the best of my knowledge, Zuckerberg hasn't done any of that and tried to cover up other potential mistakes by deleting all his past IMs from people's messaging histories [0] (something normal users still can't do).

From the article you linked, a man had his fingertip severed when a shelf he was helping install was lowered too soon.

I cut the tip of my finger off with a chefs knife last year, luckily just took off about 1-2mm. The man in the story looks to have lost a bit more than that - but still has a fingernail on his right index finger. I’m not sure where the official line is drawn between cut and amputation when talking about fingertips. Once you’re cutting through fingernail though I would say it’s around there.

The fork lifts are automated. The wages are an average of 4x minimum wage, they hire at-risk college dropouts and train then to become techs while paying their tuition at community college, and they even housed a homeless employee at a local hotel while he worked there. All from the same article.

Property assessments are up 80% but TFA claims there’s no new tax revenue to cover the cost of services which a factory that large requires.

It’s a typical hit-job piece against an incredible factory which employs 7,000 in an extremely safe environment which is unfortunately not a utopia, but involves on average 1 emergency call per day for anything from fighting, DUI, chest pains, pregnancy related, and yes, occasionally workplace injury.
If you look at the founders’ documents and writings on the subject, “well regulated” isn’t about “regulations,” but about the “proper functioning thereof, as the parent said. There is plenty written about the right to bear arms from that time period by those that wrote the constitution. Words do mean things and those meanings can’t be interpreted without historical context. The purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to protect against a tyrannical government — it’s illogical that the regulation by a potential tyrannical government was intended by the Constitution; it’s the fox regulating the henhouse.
Wouldn't that just corrupt your own program? If there is a security flaw you could demonstrate it.

Depends on the organization and I suspect (although I really cannot prove this part) industry. Done wrong, they are words on a board, a hollow chant, or pretty, colorful illusion. On the other extreme, they are the reason some folks in the military didn't flee like sane people and held their ground against some really awful odds. Thankfully, most businesses don't have to deal with the later.

I work at a place that cares about its values, because they are the cultural aspirations of the people we serve, and we are one of the organizations that are trying to preserve those values.

I dearly want those words to succeed and not be empty platitudes, but the only way that works is if they actually provide guidance and the individual decision maker considers them with each decision. Often they become empty words when folks are "too cool for school" or just have other goals.

I've seen leaders who believe in an organization's values and those that don't. For myself, I do like those that follow the values better because they provide one bit of stability that I crave: predictable decisions. Chaos is fun sometimes, but a damn pain when work is concerned. Its interesting to me that often when describing a failed corporation the "getting away from core values" is often cited.

They also provide a bit of self examination. Do I actually have a set of values? Would I cut and run if my values conflict with my comfort? Are the values as acted upon by where I work compatible with my own internal values? If not, then you might not find your career fulfilling at that organization.
>A “watermark” is simply a version of that designed to be invisible or imperceptible to the human eye, for example by embedding information in the least significant bits of the pixel colors.

In this case however, it's hard to imagine how you'd do this without being detected. If you loaded the screenshot into mspaint and used the paint bucket tool, any color differences will become apparent. You could limit your modification to the edges, but detail there is going to get wiped by jpeg compression (if any).
That’s not my interpretation of the message at all. That was certainly not my intent.

My point was that the shaping of children by the world to hate, or judge, or otherwise adopt the beliefs of any given adult is exactly what corrupts them from who they truly are.

OP on the thread and actually I'm a former disney dev for disneyworld.com. It's a sweat shop. They had me working 100 hours a week the first 4 months I was there. They would order me food so I wouldnt have to leave my desk. Many times I slept under it.

Then I had 6 months of pretty normal hours working on maintenance, then I went back on another project and they had me working 60 - 80 hours (with some 40 and some 100 sprinkled in) for 18 months straight before we finished the project and I bailed.

Great resume builder but be prepared to put in hours.
Apple made Mac’a in enterprise and education near impossible to justify. Server app is crippled, imaging is now discouraged and works only with MDM profiles. Good luck imaging the entire OS, Catalina firmware upgrade make that impossible. Open directory hasn’t seen any love from Apple in many many years, we all use AD to manage logins. NetBoot has lost UI is further crippled with Sierra ... the list goes on and on.

ZeroTier is cool. With it on, I can just grab a file / test something on my laptop without needing to expose it publicly and either setup dyndns or grab my laptop's assigned IP address. I can just keep one bookmark for each service.

> Alternatively, you could have a system like a lot of the rest of the world, where medical care is simply provided as needed, hospitals are public entities, and health-care has no price (since there is no market), just a cost, that is payed for from taxes.

Almost no countries have such a model. The closest one is the UK. But the U.K. still rations care aggressively to control costs. (The government uses formulas to decide whether the benefit from a treatment is worth the cost.) In Germany, where the government subsidizes multi-payer insurance, more than 2/3 of hospitals are private. Even in Sweden, which had a system like you’re describing until 1995, more than a quarter of hospitals are private.

It wasn't that hard for me to be a co-author on a scientific paper in high school. I just walked into some research hospitals, asked if anyone there wanted some help, and worked with some researchers after school a few times a week. I did the lab work, the charts and graphs, and the first rough draft of the paper. The researchers provided the analysis and conclusions and finalized the paper. And voila! A few months later a paper appeared in a journal with my name on it.
