Private prisons represent only ~8% of the US state & federal prison population[0]. Private prisons, while bad, are a distraction from the larger issues of policing and incarceration in the US and aren't the reason why we have so many people locked up. Almost half of all federally incarcerated people in the US are there for drug-related offenses[1] thanks to the "War on Drugs", that's where you want to be focusing your efforts on change.

Well I don't know what to say apart from this is incredibly selfish.

You can't find a product suited to your particular esoteric requirements so you want the government to force someone else to perform labour to build the product you want.

Can you see how wacky that sounds when you write it out like that?

I absolutely love Asobo studio. I do not really play games but many years ago I bought their Fuel game for a single purpose of driving around that vast terrain and exploring. Also in a hope of guessing the ways they created this large world as I had similar project in mind at that time.
> Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner’s team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. “The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy,” said the expert.

How is this different from murder?
You mean Apple removing apps that literally let a third party control your phone and spy on everything you do?

Were you also against Apple disabling enterprise certificates when Google and Facebook were using it to spy on users - not just their own employees?
I think you're seriously exaggerating the extent to which the average cheap Turkish resort package tourist cares. The area has already been occupied by Turkey for decades, whether they're building there or letting it rot is not particularly consequential (unless you have pre-invasion property claims, of course).

The suggestion isn't that they are independent variables, it's that the causality goes in the opposite direction. If you have poor health and/or fortune, your relationships will deteriorate as a result. It's a deeply uncomfortable hypothesis but seems quite plausible.

What gets me is part of the '95 quote about computing in the 70s

"About 25 years ago, an interactive text editor could be designed with as little as 8,000 bytes of storage"

Such a text editor likely couldn't handle lowercase in English, let alone any other Latin script language, let alone cjkv or bi-di. The bloat in software of 95 and the present day is real, but there is no real effort to make an apples to apples comparison in what our expectations of software are, and it massively weakens the argument

Parallel arguments can clearly be made for compilers etc.
Ah, they certainly don't have my loyalty, or any company for that matter. I try to diversify the devices/services I use so that one company doesn't have power over my daily life and I can switch over easily if I want.

Today bloat doesn’t matter, tomorrow you’re are a fat dinosaur
Didn't down vote you, but you are quoting a biased source. Maybe Apple pays 0.005% in the EU, but since 2011, Apple's paid over $10b/ year every single year (and many years it's been higher).

This is on public record: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/total-p...

> I would not say a corporate tax rate of 0.005% is high.

I'm not sure what that number comes from so I can't say, but since they paid $10b/ year for the past 9+ years, they'd have to have 2 trillion dollars in profit in a single year for that rate to be accurate.
Well, for starters, Judaism never really left the Levant. When the rich were captured by the Babylonians and taken East, about 80% of the population stayed, and when the descendants of those captured returned, they called those who stayed Samaritans and refused to recognize them as being the same folks. Same story when the Romans destroyed the Temple and scattered the rich. Whoever got to write the histories got to tilt the discussion of who mattered as a real believer and who was an imitator.

What you see as a complex and nuanced affair, I see as thousands of years of misled believers of Abraham and Ishmael carrying out fulfillment of myths and legends by committing violence upon each other, with this latest installment of violence originating in precisely the mid-40s relocation efforts that the article is detailing and critiquing.
Sure let the same idiots who put on the dog and pony show with tech CEOs design the SilhouettePhone just for you....
The “Java bloat” mostly has nothing to do with the language itself, but is caused by the ecosystem around it. On one hand you have overly abstract frameworks and on the other you have inexperienced programmers who don't understand how such frameworks are supposed to be used and write code that actively fights against the framework...
Neither is the iPhone the only phone you are allowed to buy.

Chipped cards 'solve' physical card use fraud (assuming they actually do the crypto they can do - there was another article about it not always being enabled).

If processing networks just allowed it to be easy to generate one-time codes to replace putting in CN, exp, and CVV, then online fraud would be solved too.

We have the tools to solve the problem, card networks just haven't deployed them.
It's conjecture from an anonymous source. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
I was a windows phone dev. It was friggin -AWESOME-. Really sad it never materialized. I had worked on android before and M$ really knows how to treat a dev right.
I checked 2019. That promotion started mid July (so after Q2 ended), and was for Beats only with a mac or iMac which start at > $1000.

my point is this started before Q2 ended and includes much cheaper iPads. Again, this gift is 33% of the cost of entry level iPad Air. Also Airpods are much more broadly desirable than over the head Beats.

You mean the apps that Apple was fine hosting on their platform and taking their 30% cut from up until Apple decided to create a first party app that can control your phone and spy on everything you do?
> In the absence of maintaining the ratio, the length of duration is meaningless, since the same person can just check out the book again.

That only makes sense if you assume the ratio is infinite if above zero. This matters in any case where the ratio is not infinite.

> Again, without maintaining the ratio, what control does this achieve?

Combined with limiting the time period the lending is allowed, which you conveniently left out, it's controls the scope entirely. Even if you allow unlimited copied, you can change that and if the copies are all limited to one week and are cannot be copied by users, in a week you can have effectively reduced number of items lent to zero if you want. Without these constraints you can't. They are integral to the whole idea of CDL.

> This is a difference without distinction. Sure, they could be loaned at a ratio less than 1, but they cannot, by definition, loan at a ratio greater than one.

Sure they can. Their justification for why they believe it's legal does not allow a ratio of above one, but almost all the other criteria still applies when it is above one, and specifically, what the IA did was lend at a ratio above one. Your other points about how stuff doesn't matter if the ratio is one are specifically avoiding this point.

My point is simple. CDL would not work from a legal perspective if there was not some way to limit the time in which the item was lent and prevent copying just as it would not work if there's not a physical copy backing the lending. To say it's uncontrolled because only one aspect of all those parts that make the whole makes no sense.

That's akin to having a dog restrained with a leash, harness and muzzle, and after the muzzle is removed, saying the god is unrestrained. The dog is restrained still, just less so than before. The IA lent books in a controlled manner (an account is required, there was DRM, there were limits on length), it was just less controlled than before, because they did not back each digital copy with a physical one.

That there were clearly some controls in place means that it's erroneous to call it uncontrolled.

Feel free to respond and refute as you see fit, I'll read and consider what you say, but I won't respond on this particular thread anymore. I think we've spend enough time on this that it's unlikely to tread fruitful new ground that will change either of our minds, and we could probably go back and forth on minutia for quite a while.
This[1] feature? The current file dialog was added[2] with GTK 2.4 in 2004.

RAID-5 bug spray, presumably?
No. They wanted to "work with Apple" on developing proposals that favoured their specific app.

And then kicked up a fuss when Apple said no.

When actual APIs were released Spotify never bothered to implement them for quite some time.
I'm voting with my wallet to have an iPhone where there's no Fortnite Installer instead of Android where there is.

Believe it or not I had an Android phone before and decided I like Apple's system better.

If it were my only computing device and I needed to run a bittorrent client I acknowledge it would be a problem, but like I said elsewhere in the comments, it's a trade-off.
I agree with the decision, but I can see cyberbullying and suicides going up.
This article is weird. It was published in six months ago, but the author recently expanded on the argument in a piece for Palladium[0]. Palladium of course being the Thiel-funded long form magazine co-founded by alt-right anti-semite Jonah Bennett[1], who has since moved on from the magazine. What's interesting is that while the blogpost feels like a more personal narrative about disillusionment with a specific institution (Harvard), the Palladium article concludes with a much more concrete point: "Elite stagnation," "institutional decay," etc.

Which is to say, fair cop. HYP+MS produce too many consultants, finance bros and tech PMs is not exactly a unique POV. What is interesting to me is that Palladium has seemed to have cornered the market on "Student/new grad disillusioned with <elite institution>" articles[2].

the "Your Phone" app on windows 10 does some of this. At least I can look at SMS and my pictures and stuff! Over wifi even!
It may be that viruses are simply less of a concern: perhaps at that depth viruses have difficulty surviving outside of a host and so can't spread very easily?

It could even be that they lost their immune systems first due to a lack of genetic pressure to keep them, and this allowed their "fusing" behaviour to evolve.
I'm not sure how it is easier either. I would expect it to be easier to corrupt one single centralized count then many decentralized counts.

In fact, the votes that I've seen brought under suspicion are precisely those were ballots were collected in a central location before being counted.

“Didn’t anticipate retirement of COBOL resources” is what you said.

That's very different than “anticipated and have been dealing with retirement of COBOL talent with strategies that didn't accommodate an unprecedented black swan event creating a massive simultaneous nationwide demand surge.”

> Policy changes are never able to be timed more than the duration of the election cycle.

Yes, they are; it's very common for new laws that would have system impacts (either to the adopting government, or externally entities, or both) to come with implementation timelines that are long to provide time for system implementation, which certainly often cross election cycles. Sure, intervening elections sometimes change those plans, but almost exclusively to eliminate the requirement or extend the timeline, not accelerate it.
But AirPods have to be close to free for Apple to manufacture. Functionally equivalent clones retail for under $10 on AliExpress.
He has such an account because he wants to remain anonymous because views such as his are such that people like you would censor and ostracize him. Such is the hypocrisy of one who cries for freedom and free speech.
While I'm entirely unversed to discus what the law actually achieves, I do think it's interesting to note that it's almost entirely to fulfil new obligations placed on them by T-MEC/USMCA (the can-mex-US agreement replacing NAFTA)
I'm not a GTK developer so please spare me the shooting of the messenger. All I did was read their documentation. From what I've seen there are very few paid developers actually working on GTK. Everyone else is volunteers and none of them are interested in maintaining deprecated APIs for any protracted amount of time. Even with the removal of a lot of deprecated functions in GTK 4, there is still a ton of untested code sitting around that nobody really maintains. You're welcome to write tests for these and maintain an external compatibility layer yourself if you want, but it makes no sense to expect other volunteer developers to do this for you when the old versions are considered stable.
Well, Murdoch always support the liberals/conservatives but if he doesn’t get what he wants then he starts enthusiastically encouraging a good stabbing/knifing (rolling the prime mister).

In terms of the tall versus short keys... Look for one that you can get/build with either Kailh low profile "chocs" or their even lower profile "choc mini" switches. The "linear" versions will be most like the feel of the Apple keyboards.
Welcome to democracy. As the previous person said, maybe enough people flagged it. Democracy and majority rule can be a convenient cover for the oppression of the minority - just look at slavery in the early days of the US.

I actually tried to comment on it asking for a TL;DR since it seems to stereotyping people from my perspective and was too verbose. Concisely writing about a topic is s virtue in my book.
So why not build a standard mechanism to install and update 3rd party software into the OS? It's hardly a radical idea. There are plenty of solutions to that problem that don't involve monopolising the distribution of all software on the platform.
My son is reading a book about conquerors and came across the portion on taxation, how the conquerors would tax the conquered and send the profits back home. We talk about what he is reading on our daily walks.

He said "there are no more people to conquer, so we tax ourselves"

I said "maybe we are the conquered"

Both of our minds were simultaneously blown.
Not sure if you know how journalism works but almost everything is based on anonymous sources since they fear reprisal.

Most journalistic entities will corroborate sources before publishing.
LinkedIn’s Sales Navigator when paired with Dynamics 365 is a very viable competitor to Salesforce in the ERP/CRM space.
Update: 18 USC Section 5038 (Juvenile Justice Act) generally prohibits the publication of juvenile delinquency records, including the identity of the accused: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/5038

That's already the case with chat clients, or social media, and many other categories of app. Such is the price of competition and variety.
Authoritarian copyright maximalists like yourself are the fringes of society and are an enemy to a free society. People just want to enjoy the content they purchase with out having layers up on layers of DRM and other broken non-sense blocking that enjoyment at every turn and spying on their every action

>> the EFF claims that the DCMA is an "unconstitutional" law because it enshrines the right of an IP holder to utilize digital copy protection mechanisms ... .Ignoring that copyright law is one of the few areas of law that the U.S. constitution specifically empowers Congress to legislate (Art I, sec 8 cl 8).

They are not ignoring that at all, while Congress was given the power and authority to enact limited copyright laws to promote the useful sciences, that authority does not extend to violations of Bill of Rights, or other provisions in the constitution or other Amendments

For example using the copyright law as a justification Congress could not pass a law saying general warrants could be issued for an entire apartment building to look for copyright infringement, as that would be a violation of the 4th amendment.

The EFF is making that claim the some sections of the DMCA violate the Bill of Rights, namely the 1st amendment

> Luxury cars often have high maintenance requirements and poor reliability since cost is not a concern to their owners.

This is absolutely a nit and does not disqualify your overarching statement at all, but generally these attributes are due to the constraints of technology-- for example, fitting large, high performance engines necessarily increases the frequency of maintenance intervals as well as the difficulty (and therefore, cost) of maintenance. If luxury car manufacturers could make cars with the handling and performance characteristics of their flagship models but with the maintenance costs and intervals of a Toyota Corolla, they absolutely would.
I could be wrong (I'm not a finance guy) but this isn't my understanding of how fractional reserve banking works.

If Apple deposits $200 billion and the ratio is 1/10, then the bank can loan out $180 billion of that 200; it must keep $20 billion in reserve - 1/10th.

In your scenario, the bank has negative $1.8 trillion in reserve.

Fair enough, thanks for your reply and clarification. I think "PR nightmare" scenario might be more likely than you suspect.

1. What if an AI therapy bot tells a depressed person to kill themselves? How do you get a language model to obey confidentiality rules? How do you prevent it from memorizing and regurgitating someone's mental health conversation to another patient?

2. I think the implications of replacing journalists with far cheaper automated systems (with substantially less fact-checking capability) have not been well thought out, and I worry that some VC bro is going to rush a product to market before policy makers / stakeholders have thought carefully about whether this is something that we want.

It's telling that GPT-3's best writing successes have been of the "philosophical musing" variety, not of writing accurate articles. I'm not sure whether that says more about AI or Philosophy.
