You misunderstand. Chinese users in China connect to Dropbox and Google Drive servers outside of China, where nothing is available to the Chinese government. Non-Chinese users in China connect to Chinese iCloud proxies in China, which handle data that has already been decrypted using the storage key, which remains outside of China, so anything the user accesses is available to the Chinese government. Chinese users in China have their iCloud data stored in China, where it is all accessible to the Chinese government at any time. Aside from that, there is no meaningful difference in privacy among the services.

In capitalist system the only concern is acquiring capital.

America pushed hard for that efficiency in thought. Now it has little thoughtful redundancy and resiliency to deal with the outcomes.

Exceptional people full of grit staring at screens like Wall-E characters. Good grief, the epistemological objects people conjure to feel like their carrying on matters.

Less polishing of grandpas storied history would provide the time necessary to write our own.

But being a baby sitter of hand me downs is easier than self guided learning and development I guess. Whittling down a capital distribution engine to optimize extraction for a smaller cohort. America works hard at dismantling itself.

Thanks for sharing. Helped me to realise BASIC is the language I was looking for. It just flashed that it is simple and effective for interacting with displays.
It's uncommon throughout human history for private organizations to have such concentrations of wealth and power. Typical such concentrations have been reserved for the state.
The characterization is that Apple is breaking out the big guns to stomp all over a tiny company, as opposed to them filing a routine piece of paperwork and not showing obvious signs of doing anything more.

This story is that “they’re taking the fight to Canada”, which begs the question that there’s even a fight. Instead, sounds like Prepear filed for trademarks in both the US and Canada, and Apple filed a similar response in both places.
Emporio Armani Smartwatch 3 Review: Feature-Rich and Elegant
I am not sure how well this strategy will work out in the long run. Personally I look forward to replace my Amex card with Apple’s card, once available for me. Here in Thailand many shops, hotels don’t accept Amex, so it’s harder to save up points for benefits, effectively reducing the value of the card.
Over the last 5 years I have had the same acceptance rate of AMEX in Europe and I've had in the US.

As in, the same distribution of restaurants accept them, or more obviously the same distribution of places that told me they didn't accept it.

Its not a quantitative analysis, but one user experience. I am aware AMEX did a big push for more acceptance, my point is that I think it worked, and public perception is just lagging behind.
The fact that ketamine is also used by veterinarians is unremarkable. Almost every common human antibiotic is also used for fish; are broad-spectrum antibiotics “fish drugs”?

Ketamine is routinely used by paramedics, I think more routinely in Western Europe than in North America.

The real question is whether it is appropriate for police to request the use of sedatives while effecting an arrest; and you could argue in some cases that it is entirely appropriate even if your only priority is the wellbeing of the arrestee.
The PM-UX Relationship
Needs more “slams”, as in “Prepear slams Apple for filing paperwork”.

Well, when it’s only robots doing the killing and getting killed, we can let IT managers run the wars.

On meetings, it sounds like a traditional hierarchical mgmt structure. Briefers are a subset of the staff. If members of the staff are unable to get their material or point of view into the powerpoint then they aren’t effective at their jobs or their minority view is not of interest to the majority. That’s where politics and persuasion become important and if you aren’t any good at it you shouldn’t be there.

What makes large acquisitions unmanageable is probably feature creep, and software people should certainly be able to relate to that. Imagine every minority view getting their say on every program. We can’t afford ($) that.

IMO, the military is not heirarchical enough. The Navy has ~230 Admirals and only some 490 active/reserve ships.
I wouldn't recommend it. Jio has too much of a load issue, especially at nights. Airtel isn't the top provider in India, and thankfully so. Airtel is much much faster than Jio, even if it's slightly more expensive.
I do a lot of app dev and recently looked into Uno to see what it was because I was also confused.

Uno is sort of an alternative to Xamarin.Forms aimed at windows developers that aren't happy that Xamarin.Forms uses a non-standard XAML. Uno uses UWP XAML, which is preferred by these users.

The way I like to think of the two frameworks is that Uno is a cross-platform framework that aims to align systems to the Windows way of doing things, while Xamarin.Forms is more of a "do iOS/Android" in same codebase and just happens to also support windows. There is unique value props in each framework (e.g. Uno also targets WASM and Xamarin.Forms targets Samsung Tizen).

Here is a good high level of Uno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyo2BI4rn0g
Police in the U.S. are usually extremely overweight. They might not know that a healthy 5'10 adult should weigh 150 pounds.
FWIW: My wife work in health care and just a couple of months or so told me how difficult it can be to estimate the weight of a person. She had recently seen some pictures with examples of persons and their actual weights and it had surprised even her.
I recently (5 months ago) went this way targeting Windows and Linux and was very satisfied in the end. I might add:

- Very small executable (I shipped around 10 MB executable)

- No dependencies

- Handling HiDPI screens (4k+) was OK

- Very fast (Opening felt like restoring a minimized application)
Deaths And 5,800 Hospitalizations From Covid-19 Misinformation
Personally, I favor hitting people with billy clubs,
because it leaves evidence of what happened and it
requires the police to actually take physical action
against another human

Like you say, there's not really a "good" choice, and I am not defending officers' actions during incidents like the killing (murder, IMO) of Elijah McCain.

But those police batons break bones. Also, there's evidence of ketamine sedation: they need to summon paramedics to perform the injection, etc.

So, I don't know. I'm sure we at least agree that the answer is to avoid letting things escalate to that point so frequently.

While I don't disagree in general, worth pointing out for anyone who hasn't used Twitter "threads" that you can now write all your threaded tweets before posting the first one - so it's not quite as bad as when you had to write a tweet, send, reply to it, send, repeat etc
8 cases across three years in one city, where some of those cases were just paramedics asking for a second opinion, does not seem to indicate a very widespread issue across the US, especially when the city being investigated is know to have a bad police department.

First of all, it's a big jump from "the article only mentions 8 cases across the US" to "there were only 8 cases across the US". The case of Elijah McClain, for instance, is in Denver.

And the issue seems to be one of cruel and unusual punishment. At least in the US, people expect the police to use and carry guns. They don't expect them to order paramedics to inject you with weird sedatives when you're under restraint, and especially not to make broadly reasonable decisions while doing so.

Look at the McClain case, he was 140 pounds with six officers restraining him, and they needed to inject ketamine? I wouldn't blame the paramedics for miscalculating the weight, they probably thought this was some enormous muscular man that six police officers couldn't hold down.
There is an entire movement of Skia-based renderers now that Flutter has shown it possible. I'm not a fan of that approach because I don't think its _practical_ long term, but I think its theoretically the best way to do things. Otherwise, I argue that UI should be native and everything else is shared business logic between platforms.
As a Navy brat who's spent much of his life on the periphery of the culture described in this article, I find it utterly familiar and darkly amusing. I don't envy the people who will eventually be tasked with changing that culture; there are real security concerns with opening up as the writer describes is necessary. Yet, it is necessary, and the effort will face powerful headwinds from officials who are in no way prepared to separate legitimate concerns from their own obstinacy and bias (e.g., in my brief stint as a contractor [again, admittedly on the periphery], I saw at least two egregious examples of wholly qualified individuals being passed over for promotions, robbing the service of their expertise). The military demands so much from servicepeople, one's center has to be "set", which often means a disconnect between current leaders (who are not to be questioned) and would-be future leaders (who must know when to question anyway), and that's before "politics" come into play.
Its like watching a replay of the decline of the British Empires War and Colonial Office.

Imagine that your boss orders you to commit a crime. The way which you and your boss normally communicate is going to effect the options which you can choose from for avoiding committing that crime.

It is not an accident that the military is both the strictest and most regimented of hierarchies, and also commits the lion's share of war crimes; the hierarchies help enable war crimes by obscuring and diffusing ethical responsibility.

Edit: As usual with such quick downvotes: Add your reply below. It's cowardly and unpatriotic to dodge criticism of our empire's blood-soaked military tradition.
I've been on that little sleep for months. It takes away from any clear thought. Very unproductive. Not something anyone should do on purpose.
Yeah, the DoD is designed and structured historically against super power-ish nation states, not insurgent, highly distributed, and non-state actors and modern threats. This is part of why the whole “war on terror” initiative was another forever war effort from the start. Similar to re-orgs of companies as they grow starting to mirror their customers, DoD’s structure (albeit with privatization masking its massive manpower now) in the back office grows to meet perceived threats only from a militaristic view because that’s its entire purpose.

As for the warships and physical warfare, they’re essentially a combination of a federal jobs guarantee and supply chain independence exercise we’ve long lost. In the event of a total war, I don’t think we’ll be able to get a lot of equipment we need made anymore. The situation is true for most of the other superpowers except arguably China
Holy smokes. This shouldn't happen. Ketamine is also an amnesiac, which means this could be used to erase the memory of your violent arrest and abuse by police.

If I were a Facebook employee with typical bay area California politics I'd just selectively apply my bias and be over zealous with the fact checking when I find something is being shared amongst folks who are being swayed to the Republican side

Recently I saw a story alleging mailboxes were being taken away in a conspiracy to manipulate the election. All the facts are true but they can be assembled to fit this kind of conspiratorial narrative, which is weak because tend of thousands of mailboxes are moved all the time.

You could rate this "unproven" if you were being consistent but it doesn't help Democrats so why would you?

As long as people are in charge of these things it's never going to be fair and they'll always have the power to influence swing voters.
Idea: A Google Keep clone that keeps data in a git repo. You can share todos, notes, pics etc by allowing friends to sync your repos (and by syncing from them).
Data is kept in files as yaml; hence hand editable.

This is doable in the browser as a PWA (via JS git libs) or using native apps. Maybe $1.49/month.

If you think about the scientific lifecycle: Gather Information => Form Hypothesis => Test Hypothesis => Analyze Data => Interpret => Repeat.

Then I would say the hardest parts are the "Gather Information" and "Test Hypothesis" phases. But its like this in every scientific endevour and this is nothing unique to data science.

One interesting point is, perhaps, that we as data scientists are aware that our sources for gathering information and our means for testing hypothesis are often tied to man made software or hardware systems - as opposed to dynamical real world structures. This means that theoretically and practically there is only ingenuity and will-power keeping us from building better and less time consuming ways for automating away the tedius (data cleansing/prep/etc.) parts of those processes.

How does having a logo which is obvious not the Apple logo related to claiming to be Apple?

Do you really believe someone could accidentally confuse a diagonal bright green pear with an empty inner area drawing style which has a leaf in the same color and drawing style and no bit with an apple logo which is a horizontal black apple with a noticable bit mark on the to right corner and a leaf with the same drawing style and color.

See how when you describe it there only overlap is that they are both fruits and have a leaf...

Also Apple apps don't even use it's logo as icons for their app, they all have their own trademarked logo. So if you want to do what you implied you don't even need to infring on the Apple logo but the iTunes one, and then 3rd party music services are totally legal and heck you can't upload a "knock off" anyway due to reviews.

So no they is 100% NO potential danger for Apple users involved.
If I had infinite money I would use something like Xamarin.Native (aka Xamarin.iOS/Xamarin.Android aka Xamarin.Traditional aka Xamarin) to write a 90% shared codebase and develop my own UI dsl with the rest in native code. Codesharing for everything but the UI is a _huge_ maintenance win. The mechanism that Xamarin uses to do its cross platform means that you don't pay much of a performance cost to achieve this, because its mostly just a binding layer to native code (NOTE: not talking about Xamarin.Forms here).
Heck, it sounds like the military equivalent of an 80's Bloomberg Terminal would be revolutionary.

> To use a powerful animal tranquilizer on a human being just to make some cops' job "easier" is about the most abhorrent, sickly thing I have heard in years. I don't want to read any more of this.

I used to drink. Heavily. Enough where I would lose control and neighbors would call 911 because they were concerned. I was removed from my home and handcuffed and brought to the ER more than once. A couple times I went smoothly, but a few times I fought back, hard. One time I was told it took 5 people to subdue me and I kicked an ambulance driver in the head. Another time I fought so hard against the handcuffs that I have permanent nerve damage in my right wrist. I also have shoulder problems that may have stemmed from being restrained by police.

I would’ve rather been ketamined than kick an ambulance driver in the head or have nerve/physical damage to my body. If you’ve never completely lost control of yourself and fought against multiple people, you have no idea what they’re dealing with. Once I got to the ER, they dosed me with haloperidol anyways shrug Might as well have been ketamine when I was being detained.

I hate cops, but I think ketamine could potentially help in some situations where someone has lost their goddamn mind and is fighting back hard.

huh ... You'd think this could cause interference, but I guess not if they have different SSIDs and passwords.
In most of these police death stories, there's at least a _tiny bit_ of a rationale for the police behavior.

In the case of Elijah McClain there's absolutely nothing I've seen or read in reliable news sources that indicates the police had any reason to be forceful with him or even to arrest him. It is simply outrageous.
The state enables corporate entities to violate law as they provide a useful distraction from the people taking up needed political reforms.

The stateful nature of a state is to be whatever those in power wish it. James Madison warned against “innovation” in government. The state he defined is to be protected forever. This is what Senators like McConnell believe.

Apple acts like that, essentially, because the police and state are there to guard them from you. The public is fine to sit and ignore it, not protest it. As are the public officials who prefer to do as little as possible.

A politicians real job is to admonish and denigrate the public for being entitled.
