This may sound overly-dramatic, but I think Twitter is to blame for many of the problems in the world. The "cancel culture" and lack of real debate that stems from Twitter is all due to a race-to-the-bottom environment with people competing to get the most blunt/sarcastic/outlandish statement distilled into a tiny soundbite to try increase their engagement.

So many important topics are "discussed" on Twitter with the outcomes of these discussions often leading to financial, political or mental ruin. Complex topics such as politics, inequality, racial issues, or gender diversity should never be discussed on Twitter. It's impossible to adequately to condense these complex issues into 240 characters.
I made the switch over to “customer facing tech savvy person.” Think Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, Technical Account Manager.

Pays slightly less (until you get 5+ years experience, then tends to catch up if you’re good) but my lord it’s so much less taxing on your brain.

You’ll realize that most customer facing folks may be charismatic, but they aren’t very organized or willing to learn on the job. It’s easy to be top 1% while coming in at 9 and leaving at 5, with plenty of time and mental energy leftover for whatever hobbies you want to pursue. Including programming.

It seems to me that Touch ID is slightly less secure, given that it stores your fingerprint on the device and you rely on the Apple module and crypto to be implemented securely.

With a Yubikey, the only thing you have to do to stay secure is to not lose it or let others use it.

The in-app purchase system is the one which takes a fee, and is only sometimes required (and only _usable_) for services or digital goods consumed in the app itself.

I bought my iPhone 5S used in December 2013, and sold it in mid-2017, in part because I expected that iOS 11 that year would drop support. Nope; both it and iOS 12 supported the 5S, meaning that it could run the newest iOS until September 2019. As mentioned elsewhere, iOS 12 still gets security updates today.

(Based on the difference between the purchase and sale prices I ended up paying about $10 a month to use the 5S for 3.5 years. I sold it after replacing it with an SE that I made money on at purchase because of an insane promotion at Best Buy.)
Pretty much that, yeah. Thanks for the link. That kind of article sets the intuition, and papers like these give it a better theoretical treatment:

A (large company) CEO has the wealth to give them the freedom to not be an employee. The wealth to pay others to do anything they don't want to do. The top of the pyramid status and respect, and power that comes with it. Ordinary laws and things like parking fines become trivia they can dispense with. Other laws become things they can bend by buying a sufficient quantity of lawyers.

Time becomes less of a sticking point as they can buy a waiting limo and direct connecting flight, other people become less of a concern as they can rent any Penthouse suite with bodyguards in any location.

Influence over others becomes a matter of spending - donations, philanthropy, employment, high status connections.

The returns on being a (sufficiently) wealthy (American) person are much more than just the material stuff they can buy and own.
In my Android 10 phone, if I copy a piece of text that looks like an address and open Google Maps, Google Maps will immediately offer the copied text as a search option. Google Maps doesn't do this if I copied, say, some random numbers.

... and i'd never think to try! that's why i mentioned using it in a REPL and called it a hack :) it's just fun. i played around with bytecode-rewriting too, doesn't mean i'd use it in production.

PS. for a less extreme version, the 1-elem-tuple trick is useful if you need an intermediate variable in a listcomp:

[
y+y
for x in my_list

but it's (obviously) ugly & only useful if you're in a REPL and don't want to rewrite the whole thing.
The iPhone 3GS was released in June 2009, and the first iOS release that didn't support it was iOS 7 in September 2013.

4 years is much better than current Android phones, though it's true it doesn't quite live up to the current Apple lineup where iOS 14 is going to support the 6S which will be 5 years old by the time it launches.

In the real world, impractical is the same as impossible.

It's easy to enable a third party to read encrypted data, simply give them the key. That is not and never has been the problem.

The problem is ensuring that only authorized uses occur. There is no algorithm that can determine good guys from bad guys. Keys are notoriously hard to keep secret. Any mechanism that tries to transmit them now adds a third party, and we have enough problems trying to keep things secure when they're only two parties. Storing them securely is highly improbable to occur in practice. We cannot even store simple data securely. The OMB breach showed that employees were unwilling to apply basic security practices to protect data about themselves... why would they securely store data when they won't be hurt? Splitting them helps a little, but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem.

And this ignores the fundamental problem that groups like terrorists can simply use a different algorithm. When somebody says please think of the terrorist children, they assume that somehow they will use the bad encryption everyone else is stuck with. If someone is willing to violate one law, they will be willing to violate another.

You care about social change but you’re asking why they’re getting more instead of why you’re getting less? And people wonder why there is so much inequality out there. You lot would rather circle jerk each other for renaming obscure software features rather than align with other workers.
True, but I think it’s fair to assume that when they’re happily sucking on a finger, suddenly rip their hand away from their face, and then punch themselves in the face repeatedly before starting to cry, that is not deliberate.
> but they sure didn't feel like the cesspool of anger that twitter and facebook seem to represent

Not that that's a defining feature of social media (at least it shouldn't be).

But I would say that traditional forums and ones like this and Slashdot fall within this (somewhat arbitrary) definition:

> Websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.
Would that explain the large difference we observed in the "branch-misses" statistic when we ran it under "perf stat"?
They can up until someone says they don't have a smartphone or their battery is dead.

The reality is that most parking lots do need to have fallbacks for these cases rather than telling people to drive off, and those fallbacks are often more expensive in terms of staffing/maintenance (which is why they added the app in the first place). Something where I point at a code on a sign, it pops up a payment button without me knowingly downloading anything will increase the cost savings beyond an app.

I normally define high vs low fantasy as a setting, differing by the level of magical infusion to the fictional universe -- a world where magic is thoroughly embedded into its structure is high fantasy (eg magic is not simply a power source of wizards, but a system that influences all things, and magical creatures/objects are the norm, not the exception).

The closer you get to reality -- the more magic becomes a tool, rather than a rule ala gravity, the "lower" your fantasy gets; the lowest essentially being the one guy who stumbles into magical powers, but no one else has anything close, or a portal dimension opens and thrusts magical creatures upon our universe for a bit.

tolkienesque would be more specifically the tropes of LOTR, as you've described.

But essentially any modern high fantasy film/tv/game (I don't read much fantasy, so I can't comment on books) either mimics tolkien's systems and races (elves are slender long-lived creatures of the forests, dwarves are short hole-digging mountain-men, glowing weapons and runes scattered throughout the lands, wizards as wise-men etc), or it is best described as a reaction to tolkien -- deliberately trying to be NOT-tolkien.

In my mind, the failure to detach wholesale from tolkien, but still exist as "high-fantasy", is because few attempt a more holistic attempt at it -- to craft the rules of the universe, run the (mental) simulation, to set the stage for whatever plotline. Instead the world is crafted in the void, but because the rules are never clearly defined, it naturally defaults to similar rules as tolkien (randomly broken to fit the story, because they were never defined well-enough to review).

However, there are stories more derived from gods & myths that would fit my given definition of high fantasy, though I'm not sure I'd put them under the same umbrella as tolkien
Here is a part that I personally have to wrestle with:

> "They never even asked him any questions before arresting him. They never asked him if he had an alibi. They never asked if he had a red Cardinals hat. They never asked him where he was that day," said lawyer Phil Mayor with the ACLU of Michigan.

When I was fired by an automated system, no one asked if I had done something wrong. They asked me to leave. If they had just checked his alibi, he would have been cleared. But the machine said it was him, so case closed.

Not too long ago, I wrote a comment here about this [1]:

> The trouble is not that the AI can be wrong, it's that we will rely on its answers to make decisions.

> When the facial recognition software combines your facial expression and your name, while you are walking under the bridge late at night, in an unfamiliar neighborhood, and you are black; your terrorist score is at 52%. A police car is dispatched.

Most of us here can be excited about Facial Recognition technology but still know that it's not something to be deployed in the field. It's by no means ready. We might even consider the moral ethics before building it as a toy.

But that's not how it is being sold to law enforcement or other entities. It's _Reduce crime in your cities. Catch criminals in ways never thought possible. Catch terrorists before they blow up anything._ It is sold as an ultimate decision maker.

I bought a "Lenovo" USB hub that was a shitty knockoff, the manufacturer claimed they had licensed the Lenovo brand. The listing never mentioned that it wasn't an authentic Lenovo device, but the packaging did. The device was poorly made and just flat out didn't work.

I think electronics and luxury items have a higher chance of being counterfeit. Obviously most people are getting legitimate goods, otherwise Amazon wouldn't exist.

I read reviews before I purchase anything expensive though, if I see several people claiming the same product from the same vendor is a counterfeit, I find another vendor or another item.

Scientifically, it's not a robust conclusion. The kind of person who wants to delete FB etc is the kind of person who will feel better after they do it.

Personally, I just use FB in a pretty restricted way. I unfollow most friends unless they post stuff I like engaging with. I give FB the bare minimum of my own personal data, and block all the ads they serve. I mostly post questions for discussion, rather than highlights of my life.

I don't use Insta, although I'm considering it. Lots of friends have described really fun, healthy little communities they're part of. (I still think of Instagram as a photography community, which is how old I am.)

I don't use WhatsApp by choice, but occasionally it's someone else's preferred way to communicate. I don't have a problem with it.
> if I buy a Bose product "Sold By" Bose, it could be a counterfeit?

Yes, because Amazon co-mingles item of the same SKU. A legit item could be shipped to someone who buys from a scammer, and a counterfeit could be shipped to someone who buys from a legit seller.
The Machiavellian treachery needed to raise money like this is probably why the few big successes that are run by non-sociopaths are far more likely to be bootstrapped. While pitching investors has a lot in common with pitching customers, playing them off each other like Mean Girls has nothing to do with the core business mechanics of building products, selling them, and hiring employees.
Considering the book was written in 1967, that is a strikingly insightful observation.

Taken in modern terms - “soft skills” (which were valued and expected in women, and not valued if not actively discouraged in men) are often at least as important as raw programming ability.
> But that's not what an abstraction is! UNIX pipes are maximally low-level

To put a spin on it, maximally low-level within it's particular domain, perhaps, sitting on top of the transistors below them, sitting on top of quantum physics.

Thinking a bit further, an abstraction appears to be the mapping in both directions between two domains. That being said, the two domains themselves, are independent, and don't appear to be the abstraction.

The verb "abstract" would mean we are mapping from one domain to the other.

I think "homomorphism" is the mathematical term for what I'm describing.

What's my point? We can always go lower. :)

There's simply no indication that these aren't statistically valid priors. And we have mountains of scientific evidence to the contrary, but if dared post anything (cited, published literature) I'd be banned. This is all based on the unfounded conflation between equality of outcome and equality of opportunity, and the erasure of evidence of genes and culture playing a role in behavior and life outcomes.

This is bad science.
