You're holding a grudge over a product that came out 9 years ago, never mind that it got 5 years of updates. The vast majority of new iOS features are supported on older products. The few features that aren't supported by old devices are probably disabled for good reasons that came up while engineering.

For instance, I publish a kext that patches the macOS kernel to enable you to use certain Thunderbolt devices that are blacklisted. They are probably blacklisted because they do not follow the Thunderbolt spec properly, and could destabilize your system. Just because I can hack it to work, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
> In old radio serials, sometimes the actors would break character right in the middle of a scene and do a commercial.

Jimmy Kimmel does this occasionally, with a full-on commercial as a skit in the middle of the show (clearly marked as an ad for broadcast purposes). The humor value generally comes from his sidekick Guillermo always being featured and always being pretty bad at it.

Oh man, I'm glad i'm not the only one. Please let me know if you have a solution. It is really difficult to, in a kind way, tell my generous friends and family, "Please don't buy my kids anything. We have more clothes than we need, more toys than we need. They are just going to play with it today then throw it in front of the already overflowing toy box because we literally have no place to put it"

The closest solution we've gotten is to not do that, but instead use it as an opportunity to talk to the pre-schooler about charity and sharing with the less fortunate, eventually leading him to the "lets give our extra toys we don't play with very much to other kids" thought.

If it can be done efficiently in asm then it can be done in C, C++, perhaps even Rust. But there are sacrifices to be made: unmaintainable “clever” code without clean abstractions.
I have my doubts in people's ability to assess their own emotions. I'm fairly conscientious, but I often have trouble boiling down my thoughts and feelings into simple words like "happy" or "satisfied". If I were asked if I'm satisfied with my personal life, I'd say yes, but only because saying I'm dissatisfied is negative and gets interpreted the wrong way. People assume too much and make judgments when you give them even the slightest hint that not everything is perfect with you. Life is too complicated for me to actually satisfied or dissatisfied.
I can't ignore the UX of this as simply not conducive to an article. It gives off such a strong PR vibe. Maybe it's just me
I think it's a stretch to get from what they wrote to what you're suggesting, but maybe I just didn't pick up on the context.

There's a continuing destruction of social safety nets in America, and it appears ensuring you have enough money is the only way to even hope to provide your family with security.

Saying 'No' to burnout as an open source maintainer
Lived on the west-side for a few years in the '10s, so my anecdata may be dated:

The stops are variable in terms of nice-ness. Generally, if there is a shelter (mostly just for lightly falling rain), there is a bum there. Generally, those bums have lived in/about that shelter for a number of years and tend to have mental health problems [0]. Generally, if you an able-bodied male, you should be alright around them during the day. If the stop has no shelter, it's like any other patch of sidewalk.

The Big Blue Busses were mostly ok for commuting. You'd get to work about 10 min later, so with waiting, you spend about another 30 min/day commuting. Most of the time, the busses had sitting space even during commute hours, but not always. You can't count of getting work done on the bus and having a seat the whole way. Also, if your plans have to change in the middle of a Tuesday (your kid gets sick at school, dentist appointment, etc), likely you have to go all the way home to grab your car and then drive to the shindig. That said, I was a LOT calmer than my co-workers that drove in. LA traffic is terrible.

Busses were intermittent and not always on time. So you have to plan for that. Sometimes the piss bus would come along and then you're an hour late, so that sucked.

Generally, if you have to be at work on time, have kids, or are female, taking the bus on the west-side is going to be very very tough to finagle.

Why Detrimental? Why is it bad that I skill I have never needed to use is not developed? I don't juggle well either- have never needed that skill.

I am not sure that the published work provides anything of value other than teaching us that people who use GPS or even live in cities are not used to navigation without a grid of some sort. Which does not honestly seem like much of a surprise.

I'd look at it the other way - when you have hundreds of millions of dollars, the utility of a million dollars is basically nothing, so almost certainly the utility of your children attending college where you want is higher.
I've recently made a present for myself on birthday - behringer umc22 + sm 58 mic. previous to that present were m40x headphones.

After using those headphones for couple years, I now see the difference between audio output of a laptop and simple interface like umc22 (which has own DAC + amp as I understand).

I have not found much use for mic yet (guess no one has called me since), besides recording birds outside, and generally having fun with it :D but I definitely love how headphones sound after getting audio interface (or DAC+amp part of it)
I am also concerned so I reoriented my career to support environmental advocacy. Forget sorting your recyclables.

CIA Mystery: Did Iran Kill ‘Ayatollah Mike?’
It seems like most of the top level responses are responding to the title and not the actual argument. The argument Dan is making is that you can easily get relatively good at most activities. This is because most of the people doing those activities aren't actively trying to get to get better.

95th percentile is probably not the best way to put it since there are tons of activities where nearly everyone is trying to actively get better such as competitive sports. Dan's thesis doesn't hold true for those activities and he knows that. That doesn't change the fact that there are a ton of activities out there where you can easily get better than most people by practicing.

> I suspect this is because they consider the work that an engineer does as auxiliary in nature and that Taylorist presumptions can be applied to them (modern day factory workers).

I have an anecdote that somewhat fits your point. An old colleague of mine told me he was alone in the office one night, working away at something when the director of the program walks in and sort of surveys the open plan office and empty desks. He walks around and starts talking – ostensibly to the colleague but possibly to himself – about Henry Ford and the assembly line. He made the point that he was some sort of modern day Ford and that these desks were his assembly line.

It really motivated my colleague to avoid working unpaid overtime, so something good came out of it at least.

I'm not saying the problem is that people are made satisfied by different things. I'm saying that I don't believe the concept of "general satisfaction with personal life" is a useful or meaningful concept because of the English language - because of the different interpretations of what it means. For a counter-example, I think people have a much more consistent feeling of what it means to be "happy" in general.

Can you tell us more? I'm really curious about this.
On the other hand, if FSD is treated like software, you should still own a license for the FSD software, and be able to use it on a new Tesla without paying for it again.

But somehow I suspect Tesla won't allow that either, and they'll try to argue that every buyer (even used) has to pay them for FSD on every car.

Or they'll switch to a subscription model where you have to pay every year.
You should get into baking if you want to see where precision matters and how it can be expressed in cooking.

Generally, things you cook on the stovetop don't need strict quantitative controls. Exercise your own judgement and experience- you can understand how the onion will taste based on how it looks. Mix it, heat it, season it, eat it.
The density of the LA MSA is 2,744/sq mi, the New York MSA is 4,432/sq mi. The average commute in each area is only about 1 mile longer in LA (https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Srvy_Jo...) And yet, there are vastly different commute patterns. (And still over half of people in the NY MSA commute by car). It's not at all clear that density plays nearly as much a role in this as you suggest.

The 2016 poll was not off, what was wrong is the prediction models which did not take account of electoral college sufficiently. Poll and prediction are two very different things.
People keep referring to the Monroney sticker here. It’s irrelevant. Yes, when the car was new, it came with FSD. Then Tesla took it back as a trade, and while it was in their possession, they deleted the features. They are well within their right to do that, since they own the car.

There is no Monroney sticker for used car sales, so the one the article shows is a reprint of what the car had when sold new, which is no longer accurate. Just as it would be inaccurate for a gas car if someone had done an engine swap from a V8 to a diesel.

The one and only issue is whether Tesla represented that the car came with FSD in the sale at auction to the dealer. If they didn’t, then the dealer doesn’t have a leg to stand on here, unfortunately.

Another analogy - I might buy a car at auction where the Sirius radio works, because the old owner forgot to disable it. If they disable it later, then I would only have a claim if the seller claimed that the car came with lifetime free Sirius. Just because it worked when I bought it, doesn’t mean it will keep working, if it wasn’t intended to be included with the car.

As others have noted, Tesla does not remove features except when they are the owner of the car. The only exception being, “lifetime free supercharging” does not transfer with change of ownership, except on the oldest Model S cars out there.
I agree that I can’t imagine what genuine benefit an internet-enabled fridge could have, but out of curiosity, what benefits do they list in the manual?

The problem is PHP calling an ordered map an array. Array in pretty much every other language means a sequence indexed by integers.

Ideally the maintainers of PHP would rename it and deprecate the use of `array()` over a long period of time.
I use ordered maps to keep track of state snapshots/patches of redux/mobx-state-tree stores.

It allows me to both apply them sequentially as generated, or to "jump to" a particular point in time.
Is it silent? I've found recent Thinkpads to be a hit and miss in terms of good thermal cooling and fan firmware.

Sadly fan speed is not adjustable by the user in the last few generations.

> do Tesla pay the same trade in regardless of software features?

Yes, they do not give you any value on a trade-in for things like FSD. This car in particular, however, was a lemon buy-back, not a trade-in.

Not only is it pants on fire crazy. Most options will almost certainly NOT work. Sequestration, iron seeding, accelerated weathering, and sulfur areosols all suffer from huge scale issues that no one has a serious answer for. I can't keep up with all the crazy ideas, "cloud brightening?", launching 100 MM nanosatellites to dim the sun?, but none of these can scale to the problem. LUCKY FOR US, the problem can be fixed by dramatically lowering emissions. We shall see if we actually come together in time.

I’m on a neighborhood council in LA, and this is not consistently the case. You often see this flip when it comes to supporting denser development, especially where it intersects with removing single family homes or rent controlled apartments. The willingness to remove parking to get some other benefit for the community evaporates. They’re making tradeoffs that make internal sense, but it does mean you don’t just see soccer moms saying no to removing available parking. It’s sometimes hippies vs urban planners.
I've got two kids still in the "target range" for all these attacks.

We combat with several approaches. 1) we watch what they watch and have them tell us if their preferences change so we know. 2) No YouTube, even YTkids - except on AppleTV - and we can monitor - and that's infrequent. 3) we keep them really busy on other stuff (pet, homework, family projects, outings, afterschool activities, even select videogames)

This is not ideal or possible for everyone, but this has resulted, I think, in a good outcome so far.

I am sorry to read that you have problems with Google Pixel, but I wouldn't extrapolate it to all phones in general. I'm writing this on an almost three year old Huawei P10, and frankly the device works as well as new. I do miss its original camera and alarm apps, which were replaced with more generic versions in Android 9, but speed, stability and battery life are OK.

I did have an awful experience with the original Google Nexus phone and its updates.
I still fix my kids' toys. Hot glue guns tend to be great for this.
If you want recipes that are a bit more precise, check out baking ones. I've frequently heard people say that cooking is easy, just throwing ingredients together. The same people went on to note that baking, however, is like a precise science: add exactly X grams of that, cook at specifically Y degrees, mix by rotating counter-clockwise for Z seconds. It's all very delicate and precise.

As for regular recipes, I really don't think this type of precise writing is popular because everybody's got different tastes and palates so it would be tough to say precisely how one should 'brown an onion', although I get where you're coming from. Personally, I've gotten in the habit of finding recipes, trying them out, and saving them with personalized tweaks. So when a recipe calls for a 'dash of salt', I replace it with 'exactly 1 tbsp of salt' or 'no salt necessary'.

> Is the purchase of autopilot linked to the person and not the car

No, it goes with the car. It stays with the car indefinitely unless you trade it in to Tesla, in which case they will give you no value for it (because they are the license grantor, it has zero value to them). As long as the car never gets owned by Tesla again, the feature follows it around until it meets the crusher.

Look into the case where a Christian film company fraudulently claimed a tons of videos on The Bible Reloaded YouTube channel. They went to court. They 'won'. Kinda. They ended up settling, but their case was as iron-clad and perfect as anyone could dream. They didn't include a single frame of the movie they were talking about in their video, didn't include a single nanosecond of audio from the film, but the company still filed a claim. But when they went into court, the company blamed the actual employee who filed the claims and for some reason the court just decided that the company can't be held responsible for the actions their employee took while doing the job they were hired to do. I would expect the same thing to happen in any similar case. They just throw the one person under the bus and move on.
