Also, parallel construction. Also, data laundering - you drop DNA test data into a business analytics third party, and two data brokers later this arrives at your insurance company as a personal profile "created from data about your shopping habits collected on-line and off-line", or something like this. Don't know for sure if that's actually happening, but I assume it is.
Firefox did the same recently with eg Pocket, if you'd removed it from your toolbar they added it back (and they made the plugin unremovable). Very similar behaviour IMO.

"If your data are associated with your identity, they may be made public or released to insurance companies, which could have a negative effect on your ability to obtain insurance coverage."

This is about data breach but within, they acknowlidge the potential usability of those data for insurance bussiness. I wonder who would buy them if they go down...

I went down into dark depression 2 years back. Wife just had our first baby. I was 38. I used my kid to draw me out of depression so I didn't do anything stupid to myself. Went to therapy over a year ago, was diagnosed with ADHD. At the same time I started doing crossfit and lost 90 pounds in 3 months. My PCP prescribed me Vyvanse, and just being able to focus a little better and see my life change for better and maybe some of the coping stuff I picked up from therapy and I've not had any depression really since day one of therapy.

Honestly, I think therapy had the least effect except realization what was wrong. Drugs I think helped the most.. lately it feels like they're not as good though, or I feel like I'm in a funk. I don't know if that's just life or being overworked or just I need a dose change. Maybe if I cut it cold turkey a week, then get back on it'd reboot or something.

TLDR: I just feel I'm getting off track a lot more lately than I was the previous 14 months. Not sure what I should do, maybe go back to therapy? Maybe focus more on mindfulness/stoicism? Up my dose of Vyvanse? Go back to the gym? All the above?

> no mention of special do not disturb handling

There's a section on setting manual statuses, including one specific example of "focussing - do not disturb". The animated screengrab below suggests that if someone wants to contact you with such a status set they will get a window informing them and the option to bother you anyway. Not sure how special you would want your handling, but something is definitely there. Though it isn't really clear to me if the example in the screengrab is based on a status or on a calendar entry.

I do agree that this isn't something I would want to work with, and as I wrote elsewhere, if my company had this I would set it to perpetual DND or just not run the software at all.
Let me recommend you just keep practicing, and keep trying to do your best every day.

If you read aloud for 1+ hour per day, after a year you’ll be a whole lot better. Anecdotally, reading aloud a variety of books (including some that push your kid’s abilities, some that are easy, and some familiar favorites) is far and away the most important thing you can do for his or her language development and development of reasoning.

If you really care about improving you can try to film yourself and watch it back, and you can try to come up with specific aspects of your performance to focus on.

But if you’re just trying your best and enjoying yourself, and you don’t intend to make performing for groups a career or something, just regular practice and a little bit of effort (and focusing/staying in the moment, rather than devoting half your attention to thinking about something else) should also be fine.
I think it's still fine. My experience with many-to-many conversation is that there is always someone whose computer is configured in such a way that it causes everyone's speech to echo and makes it difficult to understand. With a walkie-talkie approach, you bypass this problem entirely.

I think probably the commenter's startup failed because of competition from big hyped, well funded players like Slack. Maybe when the hype settles, they would have a chance. Timing is everything.

Only a handful of lucky few who are well connected don't have to worry about competitors, everyone else needs to assume a competitive landscape full of noise and misinformation.

True. Orthogonal to religious views, churches served as community anchors and people talked to their neighbors. Furthermore, most people under 40 don't own their own homes, don't have any wealth, don't have roots to the place where the work paycheck-to-paycheck. Unconcerned, uninformed white collar workers buy the narrative by repeat factoids like "the economy is the best ever" while denying real inequality such as the gutting of the middle-class, pervasive lack of net worth and the many hundreds of thousands more homeless people living on the streets than 30 years ago... this lack of solidarity and lack of empathy with the people who are hurting but feel screwed is what let Trump win.

And also the corporate inverted totalitarianism, mainstream media, social media and political animosity/puritanism atomizes people with 300 Facebook friends who they never talk to into real-life groups of 1.

I don't think any individual colour can be ugly. Ugliness depends on context, on combinations with other colours. For example, yesterday I was wearing two different shades of purple. That was ugly. Any one of them would look great with black, but combine the two and it's ugly.

If they want to make ugliness mandatory for things they want to discourage, they should prescribe ugly colour combinations, not single colours. Although I doubt even that will work. Things that are considered ugly in one decade can often become popular in the next, and vice versa.
Yes, if social media displaces other forms of communication that were previously uncensored.

Don't get me wrong. I think Twitter's turn from "free speech makes us stronger" to censorious partisan prop is terrible, but, it could only be making people weaker if Twitter had completely replaced other forms of communication of the same scale that were less biased. I don't think that's really true. Before Twitter there were blogs, TV, radio, newspapers etc. All still exist and doing fine. Twitter and other sites have been additive.
Consistent naming does not mean “use the same word for all similar things”. It means using one word every time you have the same thing.

Words stop meaning anything when you use it all the time.

Use a thesaurus. Naming everything “handler” or “node” is just naming them “function” and “object”.
Also in case of these materials and their use largely they just have been switched to some alternative. In case of surveillance (and tracking online) each use-case have to separately disrupted so we can move away from this large scale dragnet surveillance/tracking.

Though regulation undoubtedly helps to allow the development of these alternatives.
I used to work at TripAdvisor, and I can corroborate—while I was there the focus was really heavily on fighting back fake reviews and presenting the ones we got as effectively as possible. You can ding them for a lot (the UI has always been kinda painful) but, unlike Yelp, I don’t think they are or have been dirty.
This is why its better with open source and open standards. With open source less chance of bricked hardware. Ie with climate change i agree its better with simple long lasting devices.
I read architecture B as a single server scenario, the question was why use Node in that case instead of handling everything in nginx (if you are set on using nginx anyway) for a minimal setup.
Of course the same can apply the other way around, but I gather Node is just not good at some of the things nginx is.
>The technical space moves so fast at times, that reality has been made before the law can even start to think about what is okay and what isn't.

In general I think this is exactly how it should work. You cannot stop all technological developments early on and make rules for imagined problems that may or may not arise.

Imagine it's 1995. The Web gets banned for five years so that a government committee can meet to figure out what could possibly go wrong with that technology.

There are always groups that stand to lose when new technologies are introduced. And these groups are inevitably very powerful at the beginning of any new development. You can be pretty sure that nothing would go ahead without great resistance.

That said, we have to find a balance. Of course there are technologies that are so dangerous that they must be regulated fairly early on. Making some rules for face recognition and similar technologies seems entirely sensible to me.

But as a general principle I think problems should be solved when they arise. Solving imagined problems before they arise is impossible and prone to misuse of power and influence.
It largely depends where you live. Singapore without car is no problem at all. Groceries is delivered, playgrounds are in walking distance. I have a house in rural Japan and would be dead without a car there.
Interestingly enough, I’m in Italy this week and here Apple Maps sources most of its data from TripAdvisor. I’ve visited their site (clicks on Maps go to it) more this week than in the last five years.

They’ve been a lot more helpful than Yelp reviews etc., too.

PS: I rewrote PTAPE in PostScript for NeWS, so it makes a window with actual holes punched into it in the shape of a piece of paper tape with the text you pass in as a parameter:

https://www.donhopkins.com/home/archive/news-tape/fun/ptape/...

Can anybody write that for X11 using the SHAPES extension to punch the holes in fewer lines of code? ;)

(The comments about an elliptical canvas and round shape must have been copied from some other old code, because the shape of the window (and icon) it makes is rectangular with lots of round holes punched into it.)
What is the temperature of nuclear war? It seems to me to be nonsensical. The boiling point of water at atmospheric pressure? Why not the boiling point of iron? Or the surface temperature of the sun? Or the temperature of a nuclear weapon detonated on the surface temperature of the earth at t=10us? What is that anyway, does the average american know?

Thermonuclear war is and always will be a possible event in time, not some random value of temperature on the celsius scale.

It gave Americans (and the rest of the world) an answer to the question, "How close are we to nuclear war?" The nuclear scientists could say "The midnight clock is set to 7 minutes." And people could understand what it meant if it moved forwards or backwards.

It was never about measurement. It was always a symbol.

The resigned me would accept that DND mode because somehow it would be made hard to work without this software, possibly with HR involved.

A lot of forest fires just starting are actually reported by small airplane pilots who notice them from the air. The controllers pass the information along to the proper authorities very quickly. I've reported a few. I note that half an hour later, there is already a response. So I guess NorCal approach calls the right people pretty quickly. So in a way, this is already being done.
Actually, the title claims something, what the study doesn't. It states:
"More nurturing home reading environment prior to kindergarten may stimulate brain development supporting language and literacy skills, reinforcing the need for further study."

It is an observational study, which tries to correct for various obvious factors, but they cannot separate the environment, where more home reading is happening from actual more home reading (vs screen time).
I know we're a long way off, but a device should not require constant software updates to keep working. I think that just highlights the relative immaturity of the software industry.
While I largely agree, one similarity I see to software engineering is that a beginner (i.e. a day one white belt vs a fresh grad) can work with a purple belt or a senior-level developer and be amazed at the gap of knowledge, when in reality that person might look at their superior and be wondering the same thing. There are levels to the game, and ultimately you don't know what you don't know.

One of the reasons I like BJJ is because it's hard. There is no substitute for time on the mats, in the same way that you cannot become a good software engineer by simply graduating from a top-tier university or by reading every book on the subject.

I don't want to take anything away from your comment, because it's absolutely right. It's just a nice lesson to consider that you can perceive something, and it not being the case.
Can't believe this list doesn't include revision control systems. So many benefits. Without these, you can't easily work with others. Never again break code then scratch your head wondering how to return it to previously working state (we've all been there). Have a documented history of changes over time. Support for branching. Also amazing for efficiency and not so frequently used are pre and post commit hooks for CI/CD.

Basic inline documentation. Who wrote it, when and why. What else did you consider. How does it differ from other solutions. Why is it designed the way it is. Brief history of design changes. What state did you reach in testing. What are the forward looking goals. Takes 5 minutes, pays for itself many times over in future. 90% of effort is maintenance.
Our heads are good at mixing colors, and we register those as colors too. Brown isn't on the rainbow either.

The most interesting color on the rainbow is violet. It registers in our heads as a kind of purple when objectively it's super blue. But the cones that register red in our eyes are also slightly activated with this super blue light, which makes it register as purple in our brain.

I'd love to see an experiment where people are shown both true violet and purple mixed from red and blue in proportions that make it register as the exact same purple as violet does. And then check how many people see a difference between the two colors. That might finally answer the question of whether red in your head looks the same as in my head.
Does it set us apart, though? Crows, apes and dolphins have all been known to teach both their offspring and fellow animals.

Screen time can be great for kids. It's just not a substitute for playing with peers, interacting with parents, playing with physical toys, doings crafts, singing and playing music, reading physical books, experiencing nature, eating, or sleeping.

But assuming your child is getting more than enough of all those, it's great.

I don’t remember exactly how it was shared at Trip, and I think it was “Google Travel” or something rather than just a hotel booking platform, but that story generally lines up with my recollections from 2011-2012.
