Yeah I did this with Swiftkey but was quite disappointed. I regularly communicate in four languages and the iOS version only allowed two or three simultaneously so had to constantly switch. On Android I'm running four without issues (might be able to add more, haven't tried).

And the "long-press top row for numbers" option wasn't available so had to switch back and forth between keyboard and "numpad" when typing something like passwords or strings with a lot of numbers.

And the default SMS app being fine? Such an annoyance every time I had to use it. Don't remember specifics (as I was just trying to get away from it ASAP) but there was at least some kind of cringy emoji bar always visible.

Horrible experience all in all and I'm so glad to be back on Android.
Forced automatic updates are a dealbreaker for me as I need an OS to run on a slow satellite connection on a ship with 35 people. I need total control over updates. I guess Ubuntu is designed for an idealised sort of user that does not need total control, and that's OK, no Ubuntu for me
Not sure I'd consider this a proof. Maybe it's just some weird dude :)
Widgets will significantly improve in iOS 14.
I think lots of anarchists are perfectly fine with putting some people in jail.

Chomsky usually defines anarchism [1] by saying powers and hierarchies have to justify themselves. Keeping people safe can be a reasonable such justification. The point is just that such powers should never be taken for natural, and always be questioned. If jailing doesn't probably make people safer, then it loses its justification.

I think this is a better sign of your own hygiene than it is the apple product. Perhaps the oils, sweat, etc are more visible on Apple mice, but they are still collected on other items.
In the US there is no mandated time off, paid or otherwise, for any reason and employers can fire employees at any time without any reason or penalty.

There's also no minimum paid hours, only a minimum hourly wage; which is below the poverty line even for someone fortunate enough to work 40 hours a week for 52 weeks in a year without end.

If employers had more to lose from commiting to an offer of employment, like they do in Germany, then employees might have room to negotiate. The reality is that only a few very exceptional people have that luxury.
It's worth noting that you can use Arch and various other distros on wsl[2], not just Ubuntu.
Your comment ties into the idea that some large percent (1-5%) of the population are sociopaths. (Link has some sources https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-people-are-psychopa...)

Quite simply many people behave without remorse of empathy and those traits are useful for gaining and taking power and using it against other.

I suspect the downvotes are because everyone knows there are alternatives to iMessage out there. It isn’t relevant to this particular topic.

“All you have to do is convert everyone you’ve ever known to use a different app” is... not the proposition some people think it is. Kudos to anyone that’s pulled it off, but I won’t.
One day I hope we can get this tech large scale enough to recreate the bath scene from space madness. Maybe we could even use waves to remotely oscillate the water so you don't need a large enclosed chamber (Although that probably wouldn't be very good for your body)
thanks, that explains .
is it okay if such users get rid of all snap stuff from their Ubuntu 20.04 installation ? would the Ubuntu continue to work fine ? Browser, terminal, vi, java, python, etc mainly .
An open letter from FreeTON Community to the game developer, Epic Games
I can share why I used it for 2 products (and regret not using it in 1):
- if you are using an ORM library, it avoids unnecessary sync/migration steps by moving the schema definition only in the ORM (as opposed as in the ORM and synced to prostgres/mysql)
- It is the fastest while used in-memory. I run the full suite of integration tests for a medium complexity api in 30 seconds. On one product (w/ postgres) we did run tests on sqlite but it's much slower (10x times).
- It includes a lot of small features common in web sites or apis: media storage, queues, auto removal of old rows, full text search, geo queries. A dedicated solution (solr, s3, redis) would be better, but for small scale projects mongo was just fine (and a single thing to maintain, backup, monitor)
- easy to learn, never hired someone with previous mongo experience, but it was never a problem: having a less expressive query language means that's easier
Access control is a good idea, sandboxing on top of it is saying its too nuanced a problem so heres a kitchen sink of overhead.

Linux has had some of the best software security through MAC (SELinux, Apparmor) and cgroups. The problem is that there is no culture in free software to actually write specifications at the point of development, it generally falls on distros / maintainers to try to sort out MAC profiles or cgroups restrictions on a per-package basis.

That is why the packagers largely went with the Snap / Flatpak route of saying screw doing the grunt work heres a total sandbox with all the libraries built in.

It would be great if we could convince the whole ecosystem to start provisioning access specifications for libraries and binaries so upstream could start building apparmor / selinux profiles from provided files rather than having to do learning mode auditing that drove distro maintainers to not even bother.
When the good guys practices anarchy then the bad guys are free to create huge violent organizations. Our modern societies aren't perfect but violence is lower today than ever before.
The difference is deception.

A recent practical example was the runup to the Iraq invasion that had the entire US punditsphere (with the rare honorable exception) convinced of a wholly fictitious need.

The result was $5T+ spent on invasion that could otherwise have been spent on, e.g., replacing the coal- and oil-fired power system with renewables, including energy storage systems, with plenty left over to provide college education and medical care for everyone.
I actually think the “delegates” syntax for kwargs or something like it is worth adding to the standard library. The rest feels like it’s either covered by dataclasses or not something I personally want in python. Except pre_init and post_init instead of calling super().__init__. But that’s up there with if __name__ == “__main__” for being an annoying idiosyncrasy that’s too hard to change.

Well when you consider that just over 30% of the population of the US and the UK are overweight, it's not something to sneeze at.
Not IT-wise, but there are still a few fire lookout/lighthouses that are manned. Look for jobs to maintain stuff like that. Rural electrical, microwave tower, pump station, pipeline survey, earthquake sensors, road snow plowing. Anywhere there are long stretches of infrastructure and low population. Live in a trailer.

Trucking industry is doing well for mobile loners.

Land surveyors in places like Alaska spend a lot of time with just their backpack, equipment and rifle. I think there are still jobs for population surveys, like counting penguins/birds.

Leidos would be another company that does Antartica, satellite grounstation stuff.
That is really disappointing to read. We put a lot of effort into making Chrome start quickly. Back when I was responsible for Linux Chrome, I gave a lighting talk at the Ubuntu Developer Summit about it, and demoed Chrome starting faster than Gnome Calculator.

> Not a problem with the article, just peoples critical thinking skills.

I'd say it's a problem with the ways news outlets and articles in general phrase headlines. "Post-Covid syndrome" implies it happens after getting covid. Yet if you read the article: "[MIS-C], believed to be linked to COVID-19..."

So really headline should say something like: "MIS-C, a syndrome linked to <1% of children post-covid, damages children's hearts."
>were obese or overweight.

Like 60% of America is obese or overweight, that is way over 200 Million Americans [1]. I don't understand why people try to use this to downplay (I'm not saying you are) COVID.

This is a misunderstanding of the EMH. “Efficient” does not mean “rational” or “always right”. It simply means that, at any time, the difference between actual prices and “rational” prices is random.

It’s important to understand that efficiency is something that markets approximate. The EMH may be more “true” for you than for someone with a dedicated fiber line between the NYSE and the CME.

Here’s Burton Malkiel in more depth about what the EMH actually means: https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2014/06/13/what-does-the-...

Norway. I live in Sweden, our police has gotten a bit worse lately but still very good.

USA has problems, but you don't solve them by becoming an anarchy but by fixing the issues it has. For example instead of 3 months police academy maybe do 3 years like most of the rest of the developed world.
Here's a perhaps weird take that I'm not convinced of myself, but it's interesting food for thought. Maybe the big companies pay so well the floor is just that high.

Let's say you, a hopeful founder, could get $0.5M/yr at a BigCo. Instead you're going to start a company where you'll earn maybe $0.15M/yr for a decade then either get a payout (10%) or fail (90%). To make them even in expectation after that decade, you need $5M = $1.5M + 10% * payout, so payout = $35M. Maybe you and your cofounder each have 25% (?) of the company at that point , so the valuation needs to be 4x that $35M, so $140M.

To take a paycut from a really good alternative, you need a giant incentive. Maybe that just means that if you would start a business that'll "only" make you $0.5-1M/year if you succeed, then in solely a financial perspective, you should just join a BigCo.
I think that’s the point of the article. There are better, safer, kinder, and more efficient ways of coercing people (with kindness and strong social ties and obligations and contracts, for example) than using top-down laws.

If you believe that the threat of violence isn’t the only way to organize a society’s rules, you’re most of the way there.
The smart part is that this doesn't require a middle man since it uses your own Mac to receive messages.
Hi, I'll have to look into why the site crashed.

Thank you for the feedback. I still have a lot to learn and your reply definitely helps put things in perspective for me. Will look to use this information moving forward.
Our universe isn't perfectly described by mathematics. Parts of our universe can be described by mathematics on limited timescales while also assuming inherent randomness.

Math can't even predict the fate of the solar system out to infinity. Planetary systems aren't unconditionally stable, and the effects of limited precision - presumably relevant to any hypothesis of computability - make very long term predictions not just unreliable, but impossible.

This pretty much kills Tegmark's thought experiment, which is in any case a perfect example of begging the question - in spite of the increasing improbability of the examples.

Platonists need to explain if they believe that consciousness is possible on clockwork hardware. If Platonists actually believe that, they may as well dismiss everything that's happened in science since the days of Newton, because that's a very extraordinary claim with absolutely no evidence to support it.
When I say it is insignificant, I'm saying that it is not nearly as big of a problem as the other risks from COVID. When a million people have died from COVID, and millions of children have been infected with COVID, I view any COVID symptom that affects less than 1000 people worldwide as insignificant relative that.

Now it is very possible that we will realize that over the period of years, some significant percentage of children with COVID are affected by this. But so far the data doesn't support this.
It's not just the software, I can root and load a custom ROM on Android just as I can jailbreak iOS. The issue is inferior specs on iPhone X vs the latest Android in almost every category for around the same price. No notches and 120hz on the S20 for example, or even cheaper devices.

I'm still not sure why I'd go through all the hassle of iOS when I can clearly do the same in a superior fashion with even non-rooted Android. Is it just that you like iOS more than Android? It seems by your comment history that you're only commenting on Apple-specific threads and topics.
Yeah, it's probably less of a concern for text tasks, where the data per example is relatively light (though there is a whole internet worth of text data...)

I mostly work with audio, where individual examples are ~2MB, so the dataset sizes get very heavy quickly.
No offense, but I obviously haven't read the novel and can't follow at all. Otherwise I wouldn't be asking.

And no, what I said is not what you said. Having read the novel, maybe you're
interpreting your own words and/or my words in terms of that novel? That is, maybe you're oblivious to how your words/my words get interpreted when you have not read the novel?

Back to the original discussion:

> This has everything to do with computation, because the mind is just software running on a funny kind of computer.

This still doesn't explain why computation should be subjective.
The police are the ones who are practically preventing the redistribution of the wealth.

Without them, 1/30th of the vacant residential stock in the US would be filled with 100% of the homeless people in the US, for example. (There are approximately 35x as many vacant houses/apartments in the US as there are homeless.)
Some luxury cars have solar panels embedded on the roof that can run the fans when the car is in the sun so it is not so hot inside when you get back.

I thought about bolting my own solar panel onto the roof of my car and diverting power to the fan but you would need some kind of transfer switch and the electrical system isn't partitioned to make it easy.
If you run a pub, either you're tougher than any challengers or you employ bouncers. Maybe you even have the local community on your side because they like how you run the pub.

The problem is if someone amasses enough capital to pay a gang of thugs to do his bidding. Then you can just take over properties, which earn you more money to pay more thugs. You can easily scale that to a global organisation. That's basically what drug cartels are. They run just fine, trade with other illegal organisations etc. It's just that the overhead of building infrastructure and providing security is enormous, so it only really works in extemely high margin industries like illegal drugs.
Thanks for the answer, but what does that mean practically? Anarchy is only for anarchists (which the correct mindset)? What about all the other people?
I agree that something based strongly on principle rather than convenience is less likely to drift from them, for better and for worse.

Free software doesn't need to be copyleft, though. The MIT license, for example, is a free software license, even though it's not copyleft. Projects such as the various flavours of BSD can have pretty strong principles regarding their software distributions remaining free even though they don't prefer copyleft.
In less time than it takes to read those papers, a tyranny would rise in place of whatever power it succeeds, and that would be insurmountable monopoly.

Imagine the American government disbanding. The kingpins would be Silicon Valley and other West Coast Tech executives because of the sheer convenience afforded by us depending on their hardware (their ideas too) for most communication. People would adapt over time, but that's the issue: over time, people would adapt, not imminently. And the Tech executives would have far fewer barriers to implementing controls than the people would have the means to obstruct them.

I don't doubt for a second that Jeff Bezos would announce Amazon as a leader in "keeping us united as a society," while implementing a new policy in their warehouses that requires Safety teams to lash employees with a bamboo reed each hour if they have not met their rate.

The problem with anarchy, Libertarianism, socialism, communism, and so many similar-veined structures argued for is that these arguments so deeply idealize the end goal that they almost entirely are void of planned action during the transition.

We are physiologically engineered to take the path of least effort. Whatever minimal effort ensures the most survival. The downside to technology is an exponential drop in effort necessary for survival. We need look no further than how far off Reagan was about giving rich people more money in American capitalism (it worked until it snagged on steadily increased market instability, which has since caused massive crashes in 1987, 1996, 2001, and 2008, each time in different sectors and each time due to extremely risky and obviously absurd liability risks taken by the highest brackets of networth wherein any net loss on those decisions was guaranteed to be distributed, whereas any net benefit was guaranteed to be isolated in impact.) We can see this in social justice as well: Feminist organizers are struggling a lot right now after having envisioned a world where "misogyny" was eradicated, yet numbers across the board are going up... more sexual violence, more abuse, more online bullying, more conflicts with other civil rights' movements. The emphasis on a perfect vision has led some amazing women leading the movement to be targeted with abuse from other intersectional groups.

This is just a cursory perspective, and so much more nuance and detail is necessary to get a clear picture, but it is absolutely not as simple as saying, "Anarchy wants/doesn't want to abolish ___." Anarchy is one of a number of social philosophies that by nature are self-cannibalizing, and thereby illogical.

I wonder if the author should feel honored or dejected that Woz took the time to read the book and write a detailed article explaining why it's a terrible book.

That's the question of how the author should feel. I'm sure that if he found out about Woz' review, he would dismiss it by saying "who is this Wozniak guy anyways, he probably knows nothing"
In the latter case users could write the name in comments.

> Since you seem to have totally missed my point, let me try again.

"Even if you think you're saying that in good faith, don't do that here."

> The North had tariffs for its dealings with other nations.

Not the north. The united states. Tariffs are applied on a country to country basis. It's called protectionism in the united states, not northern united states.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protectionism_in_the_United_St...

> But internally, the North was a good approximation of a free market.

"Internally", both the north and the south had the same tariff situation because it is ONE country. Tariffs are set at a national level. In the united states, neither the north nor the south had "tariffs" against each other because they are constitutionally prohibited.

And neither the north or the south was a good approximation of a free market because the united states was a protectionist nation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protectionism_in_the_United_St...

> And yet, you argued with WaltherBright that you can't tariff yourself, when he clearly wasn't talking only about tariffs.

"It did have tariffs on trade with foreign countries, that's right. Tariffs don't automatically make a country "not free market", any more than taxes do."

That's what he wrote. He claimed that tariffs doesn't make it a "not free market". But by definition, it does.

> He was talking about internal (non-tariff) restrictions that make a market non-free.

No. Once again, he was claiming that tariffs didn't make a market "non-free". But it does.

I'll leave it here because clearly you guys are just making up your own definition, making up your own histories, making up your own economic ideas, etc. And then moving the goalpost to suit your needs.

My advice, go read my links about "free market", "tariffs" and protectionism in the united states. It's hard to discuss anything when you/him refuse to accept the definitions of these words/concepts/history.
> It is really a very simple notion.

Really says it all.
How does it make me ”special”, if the majority is exactly the same as me? I think that’s the opposite of special.
Sure. But we are talking about inflated asset prices. Printing more money just makes the truly valuable things take more units of an inflated currency pool
I've seen iOS 14, it's still inferior to Android. Widgets in iOS 14 will still have to conform to the size of the home screen apps, which is a 6x4 grid. In Android, you can make them whatever size you want and place them wherever, especially with Nova Launcher or similar.
For what it's worth, anarcho-capitalists substantially agree with this collectivist anarchist, but still consider police worthwhile for your edge cases. They just want to voluntarily pay for private policing instead of having a monopoly impose it.
The serial, how did you get it working? I tried generating a few of them and they never worked. I got one from my MacBook to put on another computer, it worked for a while but one day clover (osx bootloader for non Mac hardware) updated and it stopped working. I am not sure if the serial had an issue or something, did you have a similar issue? I ran it on bare metal and my use was different (just to have my messages and iPhone synced) so it worked ok for me until i updated it and stopped using osx.

A lot of things were done in h the past despite people not knowing why. The because should be read as a retrospective reason. The originators of the practice at have just found it dealt with odor and so they did it, in retrospect we can add the actual reason it helped.
