> you should read the actual article Apple wrote rather than Tech Crunch's summarization. It is not an apology. It's explaining battery chemistry: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208387

I'll do one better, I'll dig Apple post before they changed to a non-apology one:

https://web.archive.org/web/20171229000007/https://www.apple...

First paragraph:

> We’ve been hearing feedback from our customers about the way we handle performance for iPhones with older batteries and how we have communicated that process. We know that some of you feel Apple has let you down. We apologize.
The big question here probably is regarding compensation. Are you offering sufficient compensation to "buy out" these personal projects? If you're offering half the compensation that he expects, then you can afford half of his time; This post does not have enough details to tell if that's the case here, but it's a possibility.
> That's just ridiculous.

Depends on your definition of 'hypnosis'. There are some pretty prosaic definitions that are clearly and repeatably demonstrable. There are also, at the other end of the spectrum, some pretty extraordinary claims for "what it is" and "what it can do". The former is riduculous, and for the latter, skepticism seems to be prudent, pending further articulation.
Yes! It's not a surprise that the cloud companies like Google or Amazon or Salesforce want to cancel events. They don't lose much -- and might even gain by encouraging more digital interaction.

It's the waiters, hotel workers, cab drivers etc. who are really going to be squeezed. It's going to be rough for them.
Not OP but:

- incredibly expensive

- political gridlock preventing the city and region from taking action on common sense livability issues like:

- housing supply and affordability

- homelessness

- drug abuse

- transportation

- sanitation (see: "San Francisco Poop Heatmap")

- persistent drought and wildfires

All of the above create a city with a transient population that can only afford to stick around for a few years, which leads everyone to treat the city as a temporary playground.

I made a lot of fond memories of San Francisco, but it's always been a gold rush town: young men come seeking fortune and adventure, but they tend to leave a few years later with their pockets empty... if they're lucky, perhaps a little wiser for the wear.
I wish these engineers would simply have some empathy for those of us working support.

Our intention is _never_ to aggravate you. We make mistakes, we miss words and sentences. Support is fast and hard and to put it lightly often looked down upon.

We want your shit to work, too. Being an engineer for every company that is your customer with few details is insanely difficult.
This is the big reason why you don't need to test everyone - the results of the test change nothing.

If you have a mild case of Coronavirus and are able to self-isolate, then just do it. Testing and confirming you have it doesn't change things, you'd still be asked to self-isolate.

I can see the value in people who are very sick - confirming they have the virus can inform the need for isolation in the hospital.

I do agree that initial impressions are important for a language and "perceived" learning curve does make a difference. Things that scare people away initially do hurt adoption; things like Clojure's syntax and that it is a dynamic language on the JVM (i.e. how does that affect interop/performance/etc) all raise questions. Even if there are answers to these questions and justified reasons just like most sales pitches you've already lost a lot of people who have doubts and are already productive as they are.

As an example I remember a presentation done some time ago where the presenter was showing code in F# and many non-technical people understood the code thinking it was a pseudo code at first (i.e. business stakeholders/BA types/etc). That was a win for them. If I showed F# and Clojure code side by side to an ex-coder manager as an example syntax I'm sure would matter and they often have a say in this decision. Buy-in is an important criteria in language selection for sure, as well as current skilled developers. If the pool of devs is small how easy it is to train people and get people wanting to be trained in it thinking it may be dead end skill with no jobs? I don't have that opinion personally but some dev's definitely do. Especially because jobs in these languages are scarce; if learning curve is small then it could be used even then.

My cynicism shows marketing and perception of a tech stack are equally if not more important than other factors in tech selection in many companies. No one got fired for picking IBM or in this day and age Java?

I've been programming for over a decade, have been a founding engineer at a YC startup, and a lead software engineer for a 3D printer startup. During the past couple years I've mostly worked on a contract basis, helping clients develop web apps centered around interactive 3D graphics and geometry. I'm interested in a wide range of domains though—it doesn't need to be graphics/geometry related. I have more experience on frontend, but I have good CS fundamentals and am comfortable learning whatever is necessary/useful.

I'm primarily seeking a remote position with a small to small-ish company, but I'm also open to contract work.

I have long experience with a wide array of UI-related tech on web, mobile, and desktop, but I am fairly new to React. I'm currently learning it more thoroughly by building this: https://github.com/westoncb/mymex

I'm currently working on hacking Netsurf to turn it into a portable, lightweight Electron-like base for programs. I've also been doing RE work recently, having reverse engineered both the Marvel Universe API and the Lex API. I haven't released those APIs publicly yet though, they're not as polished as I like.
Show me where Apple said "battery life does not cause your phone to slow down". This is what was alleged - that Apple denied battery life causes phones to slow down.

Apple wrote this letter to appease customers, because they don't understand battery chemistry and the canard that Apple was slowing down phones was proliferating and they needed to make some gesture.

> We’ve been hearing feedback from our customers about the way we handle performance for iPhones with older batteries and how we have communicated that process. We know that some of you feel Apple has let you down.

This is a far cry from what was initially alleged: that Apple denied that battery life caused phones to slow down. This "apology" essentially amounts to "we're sorry you don't understand battery chemistry".
I'm afraid this just muddies the waters.

> Amid warnings from public health officials that a 2020 outbreak of a new coronavirus could soon become a pandemic involving the U.S., alarmed readers asked Snopes to verify a rumor that U.S. President Donald Trump had “fired the entire pandemic response team two years ago and then didn’t replace them.”

Even though Snopes rates this as "true", the article itself only cites the departure of General Ziemer. It doesn't seem feasible that this one man was "the entire pandemic response team."

The tweeter cited by the article also makes the claim:

"Trump also cut funding for the CDC, forcing the CDC to cancel its efforts to help countries prevent infectious-disease threats from becoming epidemics in 39 of 49 countries in 2018."

https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1232051346796371968

Snopes goes on to say that this claim is only partly true.

I'm just as shocked as anyone by the abysmal response from the administration, but putting out half-truths doesn't help the cause.

Edit: the Washington Post article includes this phrase:

> The top White House official responsible for leading the U.S. response in the event of a deadly pandemic [Ziemer] has left the administration, and the global health security team he oversaw has been disbanded under a reorganization by national security adviser John Bolton.

The Snopes article would be clearer if it quoted or otherwise cited this passage because the departure of a head of a team doesn't necessarily mean that the team was disbanded.

The Washington Post article later confusingly notes:

> Another administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly, acknowledged it was only one of many administration priorities. “In a world of limited resources, you have to pick and choose,” he said. “We lost a little bit of the leadership, but the expertise remains.”

If the team is gone, how does the expertise remain?
Waymo is wholly owned by Alphabet.

So in a normal case, Waymo itself wouldn't have a separate filing for incorporation, or tax status etc... which means it's wouldn't have it's own stock.

So, quite literally, doctors are already guessing as to what to do next once you are in a recurrent cancer setting (even before, really).

If they have data on different therapies, they are not guessing. The data might not be perfect, but it's all we have, so it guides clinical decisions.

On top of that there is a mountain of clinical evidence that high dose intravenous vitamin C (IVC) has an incredibly low risk of adverse events in healthy patients and there have been clinical trials and case studies indicating that it improves quality of life in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

I think we have different definitions of "mountain of clinical evidence". There is more data to back up the standard of care than the use of vitamin C.
TLDR: Use a complicated SSH proxy instead of a VPN.

This has some serious downsides for non-SSH applications. For example, to connect to a production database cluster, one would need to ssh through the proxy to a bastion host, and then set up port forwarding from the bastion host to the database. Setting up a simple database connection now requires shell access to a production server. This is less secure and more complex than using a traditional VPN.

Auras that precede migraine headaches do resemble these, and also apparently resemble the patterns people see when they use hallucinogenic drugs. This narrative around things being revealed on drugs seems less plausible than your ability to cohere sensory data is impaired by poisoning, and the remaining signal/information is reduced to crude geometric patterns that resemble interference patterns because when you mess with sampling rates between two eyes/hemispheres, you get artifacts that resemble geometric forms.

Constructing stories around the experience is how we reconcile it after the fact. I can't explain the DMT elves, but these forms could have an explanation as simple as poisonous mushrooms impairing the rate at which your brain samples sensory data and attempts to normalize and cohere it.

Merely watching videos of these patterns doesn't change self perception, so drugs probably do a lot of other stuff, but revealing the underlying structure of the universe seems less likely than these being equivalent of a guitar effects pedal on a signal.

You're going a step further in the case of cloud though.

Before you'd at least hire the sysadmins. Now you rely on probably dirt cheap offshore consulting.

It's just more outsourcing. It comes with scale and as cancer it is just a reality. Eventually it will have to be burned down.

Validation of Waymo's valuation provides data for Alphabet stockholders and (hopefully) shows that all the money Alphabet has poured into Waymo has generated significant value. If you never show this validation, some shareholders become angry and demand you stop pouring cash into other bets that just chew up cash.

Not the parent poster; but yeah, that and also because of the expected resistance (possibly violent) by the population; it seems that the Chinese have mostly been compliant with the quarantines and it seems that Americans will not be as compliant, so any quarantine attempts will be less effective, bring less benefit.
> Working from home will be mandatory... due in part to government restrictions.

What government restrictions? Not sure about South Korea, but to my knowledge, there aren't any government-mandated measures in Hong Kong or Japan that require non-government employees (except school teachers) to work from home. It's up to businesses to decide what they should do.

> This has been demonstrated ad nauseum a priori with loads of toy chat apps that reconnect and retain state. It's not really a challenge. EVERYTHING else crammed into it, should be the reasoning for 1.7M lines of code, but as they demonstrated TO THEMSELVES AND EVERYONE, it wasn't (360k now)

Yes and they figured out what was needed after first writing a 1.7M line of code thing that worked. That's the process of reiteration and a process of initial LOC bloat before LOC stripping.

Without that process by thinking it has all been demonstrated ad nauseum a priori with loads of toy chat apps that reconnect and retain state you end up with deciding that if Friday was Feb 28th then Monday is certainly March 3rd because date/time handling is simple and end up being Robinhood, down for a day.
They won’t admit it, but many companies move to the cloud not only because they don’t want to deal with administering servers but also because they don’t want to deal with server administrators.

It’s not like on prem server administrators have a great track record when it comes to security.

No, no, no. The whole point of a VPN or SSH jumpbox is to airgap critical infrastructure with unknown vulnerabilities behind a hardened point of access. Putting production infrastructure on the public internet is beyond idiotic and regressive, and an invitation to be hacked by an unlimited and unknown number of exploits. It took forever to get departmental firewalls at a big name university where I worked because systems put in before my time like nutrition/meal planner, housing lottery draw, facilities management system and retail POS systems were getting owned left-and-right by remote malware.

I'll keep using fwknop-protected OpenSSH on OpenBSD and WireGuard, others can do whatever they want without thinking about the security vs. convenience.

But how does anyone know they have a mild case of Coronavirus? It looks just like the cold or flu. Now that there's community spread, you can't assume that you only have Coronavirus if you've recently traveled or had contact with someone with confirmed Coronavirus. People who think they just have the cold or flu are going to maybe stay home a day or two, not self-quarantine for 2 weeks.
