They shouldn’t be allowed to place them without notifying people beforehand, preferably by getting those people’s signatures.

According to the article, they’re nowhere near that level of notification. They certainly didn’t notify the local emergency response personnel, which is just negligent.

These things have the same failure mode as landmines: If forgotten, they might kill some random person years later, and at that point, locating and removing them costs orders of magnitude more than placing them.

At the very least, there needs to be a public map of where these things are, and an 5-10’ ring of signs at eye level around each one.

The tiny sign they place at ground level on top of the trap could easily be lost or overlooked, and it won’t inform people with pets to stay out of the area until it’s too late.

Things I've wanted from Spotify, or from another platform:

* Album playlists, with "shuffle by album/entry"

* Disable song in album

* Tags for albums/tracks, sort by tags

* Genre block lists (they have artist block lists, let's go one step forward)

* Download n-minutes of a playlist (for when they're 16 hours long)

* Block tracks over n minutes on shuffle
And a police officer murders 3 people a day on average, then, in comparison?

Late at night, I usually design stuff to 3D print, and I figured I should live-stream some sessions. However, since my wife is asleep at that time, I had to be quiet, and the livestream turned out to be ideal to listen to while trying to fall asleep, which was the opposite of what I intended:

I worked for several large companies where the on-machine (not containerized) development was very clean.

That hygiene required a large team of dev tools engineering to support it. For the smaller companies, dockerizing individual projects for development was... a regrettable but easy shortcut to not having to wrangle with local setup.

This post hints at something that I've thought might be Apple's potential answer to "how will it make economical sense to make workstation-grade CPUs for the higher end of the Mac line, given the amount of such units sold?"

The potential answer is to go AWS. Build up a cloud platform using the same CPUs, move all Apple cloud infrastructure onto it, rent the rest of the capacity out to the public.

With this, plus the sales from high-end Macs/MacBooks, the R&D overhead for high end CPUs might make sense.
I've always wondered what portion of those crowds are actually customers.

It doesn't really matter, though, because as the OP pointed out, Apple Stores are massively profitable. This is well known in retail circles.

Landlords fall all over themselves to get Apple Stores. Real estate developers will include Apple Stores, or Apple Store lookalikes in their renderings even before the buildings are built, just to get people interested in their projects.
Going from domestic ownership of domestic resources to total economic isolationism is a complete non-sequitor, and dangerous misinformation.

The IMF has been around for the better part of a century and has done exceedingly little to address global economic inequality. Maybe it has something to do with it being dominated by the representation of wealthy Western interests.
Imagine saying this about a CD store a few decades ago. It would be ridiculous to say that a store was responsible for promoting indie artist CDs. If you want to get listens or sales make good music, it's pretty simple.
As a user I am glad that Apple pursued this strategy. Flash did have its use cases, that’s for sure. I still believe that the web is better off now without it.
The online digital textbooks and homework, Cengage’s MindTap, requires flash for their statistics portion. Flash is also used for their digital textbook.

I’ll assume this carries over for any type of assignment page that requires input from the user.

Historically, wasn't this the case?

Companies like IBM, DEC, etc. built highly-proprietary systems that weren't compatible with each other, and were able to set high prices because of it.

Only later, in the late 20th century, did computers become more compatible, as open standards for hardware interconnects, communication protocols, and file storage formats were adopted. And the rise of FOSS in the 1990s also did a great deal for this.

You probably missed what i meant with "self-identified", in context of an online community.

A better analogy than the one you provided:

If someone comes to an online community and announces that they are cisgendered and must be referred in way X, i don't want to work with them, either.

This isn't a question of gender, race or sexuality.
Its a question about not being self-absorbed prick that forces everyone around them to walk on eggshells.

Experiencing gender dysphoria is a driving force for engaging in this kind of behavior, this is why my complaint is focused on these few trans people.
> That is a 7 years old iMac. Apple is not forcing you.

This attitude needs to stop.

If a user's needs are met with a 7 year old machine and they are happy without upgrading then artificially obsoleting it in the name of capitalism is not progress, it's irresponsible.
> “A soldier is reasoning agent,” a military court explained in the 1991 case U.S. v. Kinder, in which a soldier who killed a civilian was convicted of murder on the grounds that his superior’s order to do so was obviously illegal and should have been reported.

This reference appears to be completely wrong. The case it links to is an appeal of drug dealing convictions.

The phrase "A soldier is a reasoning agent" appears in the 1973 case U.S. v. Calley [1] appealing Calley's conviction for murder at My Lai.

Honestly, its quite problematic.

There are vested interests with a great deal to lose if no counter narrative to the origin of the virus turns up... and they’re already seeding all kinds of conspiracy theories all over the place.

So, while I’m all for “science”, under the circumstances, the burden of “prove this isn’t a false positive” is overwhelmingly higher than the due diligence taken here.

So, yes, it would, but no, it doesn’t.

Exactly this. One example would be the difference in how pronounced reverb and delay effects are on headphones versus most speaker setups. Each ear is much more isolated, so the separate audio tracks for each ear don’t blend.
> Chelsea Manning was not involved in the "collateral murder" leak.

True, he testified and said it was an unclassified video. You're right. However, the ire of the State was such that you'd think it had been, and that's the point.
How can whistle-blowers like Manning or Snowden be treated in this manner when all they're doing is exposing the material that should be afforded to every citizen to scrutinize, and if I'm honest if we did we would stop calling the US anything but yet another Empire with all the Human Right's violations that they all commit. Moreover, he isn't alone: so many from Binney, Drake etc... This is systemic Imperial decree that is masked as Law when in reality we've been here before with the Pentagon papers and Daniel Ellsberg.

In short, I don't think there are 'good guys' in this narrative of Police vs Military and both need to be vastly reformed.

From the very inception of this country, its General who led the Revolution stated that Government is a necessary evil, and should be regarded as such with certain vanguards that protect the People from the eventual Tyranny (even his own) that they all succumb to. Jefferson then went on to enshrine into the Deceleration of Independence and his philosophy leading up to his presidency, which was underwhelming by his standards of radical, and fringe Idealism he had supported up until then.
You're right, I was thinking Old Businesses who actually bought their real estate (long-term thinking, such madness!)
Yeah I think mostly it was a desire to transition out of my day job (which of course didn't pan out), but also because my friend and I just held each other accountable and sort of shamed each other if the other started feeling lazy. Not the healthiest way of doing it, but it sort of worked for that period of time
Because it was not about going after Adobe or Flash. It was about the performance of the iPhone. He detailed this in his public letter to Adobe after he gave them 2 years to get it working and they failed. The letter was public because Adobe was crying about being shutout and making shit up. The fact is that Adobe never got Flash "working right" even on the Android platform which they had full access to every part of the hardware. "Working Right" means not draining the battery after a 30 minute video.
Applesoft BASIC also only supported numeric single line functions.

The first BASIC I used was Tandy TRS-80 Level II BASIC which shipped on all but the earliest of the TRS-80 Model I's. Microsoft wrote this BASIC also and it didn't support any type of user defined functions. Microsoft created a Level III BASIC for the TRS-80 which was their first consumer product. This did support single line functions and I think but am not absolutely sure that it supported string as well as numeric functions.
You've managed to describe exactly what annoyed me about these two posts. OP's argument is that whatever is cheapest this year is the only thing that should ever be done. We definitely need something better than current farming practices.

If this slows or stops the use of Docker in local development I’m all for it. Docker for development is a plague on this earth. It burns battery, slows builds, makes fan noise, eats huge amounts of bandwidth/HDD space, makes debugging a nightmare. All for what? It’s marginally better at setting up a self contained dev environment. Oh wait, Docker can’t do that; you also need docker compose.
Out of curiosity, are you able to provide any examples of these aggregated data repositories?
The problem isn't one of not understanding comparative advantage. The relevant industry often is physical located within the country, likely due to cheap labor costs. The challenge is that this industry is likely has foreign ownership. The prevents the reinvestment of capital in moving up the value ladder. The strategies to cope with sometimes involve domestic protectionism (bad idea, for the reasons you outline); China's % foreign-ownership partnership idea (which probably doesn't scale down to smaller markets; and doubling down further in zones with economic growth, to encourage even more investment (both foreign and local).
I'm also excited about a non-x86 architecture on the desktop again. Monoculture is bad, and I find x86 to be especially ugly...

As for switching... I'm increasingly unhappy with Microsoft's complete disregard of user privacy. Apple isn't perfect with that either, but IMO much better at least. For my use cases, Win and Mac are the only credible options due to software availability. So to get away from Windows.. there's not much choice these days.
> a sergeant who apparently never sleeps

Isn't that a public safety hazard? I'm not sure I'd want to trust the judgement of a sleep-deprived workaholic with a gun. Either that or if indeed his working hours are nigh super-human then maybe that sergeant isn't human at all and that salary in the budget is being embezzled.
> My projects have fewer and smaller dependencies than typical

Taking a look at your at your github projects and build.sbt... this is quite an understatement.
I think you missed my point, obviously you should get paid for your monthly listens but it's not Spotify's responsibility to drive listeners to your music. You are obviously free to market and promote as much as you can, hitching your success or failure to Spotify including you in Discover seems like a sure way to fail to make a living.
No, that’s a problem with their sentence construction.

All it means is that among African American blacks, males were the majority.

The key is:

""African American males made up the majority of protesters in the four observed cities vs. females,”"

vs. females (when looking at male-female distribution in the African American pop of protesters, in those four cities the majority were men).

Until they show full genome sequencing of a novel strain under controlled conditions, I’d assume this is contamination or a crappy primer set. If you’re running a bunch of PCRs, especially of the same thing, there is a good chance of environmental contamination from older sample (shipping containers labs for testing have split partitions because of this). There has also been times reported where there has been primer contamination at the synthesis company because they were also building SARS-CoV-2 controls.

Also, there is a very easy way to figure out if it’s real - why didn’t they just Sanger sequence the outputs of the RT-qPCR? Such a simple experiment.

Interesting blog post.

Off-topic question:
When a song gets covered/made into an instrumental version by a 3rd party on Spotify , who gets paid for the plays?

The original recording artist or the 3rd party?
Make sure you backup your Bandcamp purchases. I know of at least two artists whose Bandcamp accounts were deleted. The artists claim that Bandcamp never notified them of any copyright claims or policy violations.

There is an album I purchased which no longer appears in my collection. I am only able to listen to it via mobile app because it's still cached on the device.

In the course of writing this response I realized that I had not contacted customer support so I now have.
>They are often paid quite well

Big cities, yes. Small towns and rural areas, not so much. National average is around $60k/year - but the variance is high (from $30k to $120k - depending on the area).

>But how dangerous is it?

The numbers don't tell the entire story. There's a difference between danger coming from negligence vs from a chance of murder by another human. Soldiers coming back from Iraq suffered high numbers of PTSD, even though the mortality rate would probably be similar to one of the dangerous jobs you listed. Not only that Police have to deal with the darkest sides of society, including scenes of murder, rape and violence even against the most innocent of our society - like children.

'Police' is a type of job that is closer to the military example I gave, than to a logger or fisherman.
Do you think they have the kind of culture and experience inhouse to pull something like that off? I'm skeptical that it's in Apple's wheelhouse but it'd be interesting to see.
Youtube suffers from the same bias in their algorithm. I bet it's just a bias setting or a single falloff that would help things.

It reminds me of Cronenberg's "The Fly" where Brundle had to teach his teleporting pod to reproduce living tissue rather than interpret it.
Surveillance should be banned instead.
That's a good point. I hate going to the Apple store because you pretty much have to get in line behind a dozen other people for the privilege of buying a $1000 phone or $2500 laptop. The Microsoft store down the block was always super chill by comparison...
==Hoods and glasses only work if everyone is doing it. In certain parts of my town you can tell the drug runners by their "uniform", primarily pulled down hoodies and a hand down their trousers.==

I'm not sure I follow your logic. Your experience seems to prove the point that pulling a hoodie down helps conceal your identity, I assume that is why the drug dealers do it.

The focus of the article is facial recognition, which is commercially available today. Your examples all require some type of initial identification to know where to check for someone's mass, scent, DNA, etc.
I'd be happy with just a simple Incognito mode. Not so much that I'm embarrassed about listening to some things, as I am "I wonder what that sounds like" but don't want my recommendations poisoned.
Why not just listen to one of the many curated playlists in the genre you like? Go to music review sites and find a few albums that sound good and add them to your saved playlists? I find myself doing these things more often when I want to discover new music. The discover weekly gives me a lot of stuff I've heard already.

You could queue up an album in the same way you queue a song then it will go back to your playlist afterwards. As many others have already mentioned there is an auto play feature.

You used to be able to like or dislike songs on radios, but iirc spotify switched it to only favorite a couple of years ago. I don’t understand the reasoning, as it would help tailor their data much more.
US terrestrial radio only pays out to the composition side (whoever wrote the song) and not to the master side (who performed and recorded the song). Internet and satellite radio pay both sides. Non-interactive radio uses rates set by statute across the board; this is all separate from on-demand streaming like Spotify.
