Let's not delude ourselves: he's not complaining that they have a slant, he's complaining that their slant doesn't always go his way. He also complains when Fox News reports facts he doesn't like.
Different 500 GB models have different capacities. They're just guaranteed to hold at least 500,000,000,000 bytes.
Yes. The one in pole position.

Until now.
Yes. It's the Jevons' paradox enabled and amplified by the corporate web abusing JavaScript (bloat, ads, trackers, and other attention-grabbing shenanigans).
If your company is incapable of structuring things to get done when you set reasonable boundaries about the amount you're going to work, that's its fault, not your coworkers'. If you choose to set those boundaries tightly and your company tries to put more than a fair burden on you, that is not your coworkers' fault. If you choose to do more and your company proves incapable of recognizing you stepping up to the plate in the absence of your parent-coworkers, that's your company's fault, not your coworkers'.
People love talking about their state being immutable when in 99.9% of the cases it is not.

Here's a simple test: if your runtime container infrastructure is immutable, you should be able to run your container with a file system being read-only. If you cannot do that, then you do not have an immutable infrastructure and hence you will need need something to manage the state. Ignoring it is akin to kicking housekeeping tasks to some point in future and hoping that before you get buried under the multi-year backlog of tiny corner cases before your entire product is replaced with something else.
Casual users' confusion about the presentation of technical details is a different conversation. This one is about actual filesystems.

It may well be that end users are abstracted away from their filesystems, but you seem to assume both that 'The Cloud' is the natural end-state of systems evolution and that everyone comes along for the ride.

I don't think either of those are true.
Just like game consoles have been doing for the last 40 years.
Exactly, I very much doubt when OP was planning to have children they considered that very well established social norms that make our modern society possible (like traditional schooling and daycare) would not be an option in the future.
> When parcels show up [...] with that 'Prime' label

Alternatively, it could be that you ordered the product from another seller, e.g. on eBay, who is then using their Amazon Prime subscription as a fulfilment mechanism. (A form of drop-shipping.)
I'll put in a good word for https://olt.com

I've been using them for years. It would cost most people $10-20 for fed 1040a and state taxes, extra help is available for extra money. In an income tax-free state I paid $0 to file my federal return and have it direct deposited to my bank account. No dark patterns.

And their privacy policy was decent. I was not happy with what I saw on Intuit's site, especially given the data I'd be trusting them with.
My companies first 5 hires were junior developers. This cost a fair packets (because there were 5 of them!) and led to pretty low quality software (because they were all junior and didn't know what they were doing).

They could have shipped higher quality software quicker by hiring 2 senior developers for similar cost.
What if we stored it as a liquid rather than a gas. Hmmm ... I've heard some things about C8H18 ...

Parents chose to have children with the assumption that childcare, schooling, etc. would exist. Almost no everyday citizen could have predicted that there would be a pandemic that would bring those services down for 1+ years.

Life during COVID is not what parents expected (or reasonably could have expected) when they chose to have children.

In UI design, I've found that "idiot" is not that useful a concept. I think its more useful to think through particular thought processes.

A mask is

1. A constant reminder of the presence of the pandemic.

2. Fallible in ways that humans can easily visualise.

Vaccines on the other hand are indistinguishable from magic.
> The unexpected nature of a pandemic isn't really an excuse for me.

Companies, Governments, Healthcare System all failed to prepare for this pandemic but parents are expected to? Should they be considering breast-feeding during a nuclear winter before having children?

What's a sufficient about of global life-altering change before they get the free pass?
Yes, I stopped reading as soon as I found they used gradient descent. Our brains does not uses gradient descent to learn. If you use any sufficient complex model, and fit MNIST by defining a loss and minimizing it directly, it will very likely work. Even simple linear model of logistic regression on 784 pixels gives good accuracy of around 90%.
A job in big tech is not a job. It's half a job, half a privilege.

Perfectly capable s/w developers fail big tech interviews for the tiniest slip-ups in a day long coding marathon.

Big tech response: "We can afford to lose perfectly capable s/w developers as false positives during interviews, cz the supply for filling up our positions is abundant."

A significant number of capable s/w developers even acknowledge that, and accept it as the nature of the beast.

Big tech can definitely grow some balls and apply the same rules to those who get in and then decide to go on baby vacay sprees.

(Oh, and btw, this also goes by the name of "an effin company doing its effin job!")

Parents can switch to minimum wage jobs with full parental coverage, PTO, what have you.

Don't think minimum wage is high enough to support children? I agree, let's raise the minimum wage. I even support government funded childcare.

If a big tech company decides to run like a baby-producing country club charity, it's only a matter of time before it'll be taken over by an actual big tech company that gives a shit about its business.
I mean, maybe?

I only say that because I saw him on Rogan, and there was some odd tap dancing going on, imo. There were a few topics, including the donations and business model, where he seemed to just be oblivious. 3rd parties handling of the donations and his 'I don't know/I'm not involved' kind of aloofness. It came across strange to me; avoidant, I guess.
>Since divorce became acceptable, it became a huge liability for women to exit the workforce and permanently

You're mixing up cause and effect. A married women trying to resume her career (which also happens for many other reasons in addition to divorce)is going to have the same problems as a women who is trying to resume her career due to a divorce.

Or historical/current practices and attitudes to relationships and child rearing is what created the liability, specifically the societal pressure for women to leave/not pursue a career and thus lose highly valuable work experience relative to men. Divorce just highlights this.
After the pandemic is over, should you then lay someone off when everyone is 100% productive again? Otherwise, you would just be wasting money.
If you don’t care about the future of humanity then why care about progress at all? Why care about any species. Why care about pollution or climate change or anything?
I don't understand this sentiment.

Farming is critical for society. However, we don't require everyone to pull on their overalls and work the land.

Security is critical for society. However, we don't expect every person to pick up their machine gun and jump in a trench.

Society is nowhere near a population level that is dangerously low. In fact, we are more concerned with overpopulation and overconsumption.

If you have children, that's great! Congratulations! Enjoy! But it was your choice - not one forced upon you by some dire social need.
The average wage in Washington is $55k in 2018. Google L4, when I searched, is $133k. You earn 241% of the average pay and live in a middle class suburb. To me, middle class implies average. The reason you can afford to have a SAH partner is because your salary is top 10% but you live a 50th percentile lifestyle.
The entire disk (all 10s of GBs of it) was cloned and backed up as a disk image, and can be re-imaged whenever necessary.

The data is copied off daily via floppy (don't get me started...) and is backed up on local network shares. The specifics of that weren't in my need-to-know and was managed by the IT group.

The system was essentially stateless, so spinning it up from the image wasn't an issue, but the PC itself is essentially part of the "equipment", as it ran the custom drivers and it was specifically designed for that PC and a one-of-a-kind ISA card.
Consider that Chef Infra has 2 core developers and its not surprising why.

DOS had several reserved file names. Back in the BBS days, I remember kids uploading files named "CLOCK$" to lock up BBSes.
That's arguable. For the top developers it's about 48% more on app store see https://www.valuewalk.com/2019/06/ios-app-store-vs-google-pl....

And Google's play store has value to Epic too - they started by only allowing Fortnight to be side loaded, and moved to the play store.

I suspect that the reason lots of people prefer these devices are precisely because of the app stores. They have confidence that they won't get viruses, confidence in the payment process, ability to lock down devices for kids etc. The ecosystem clearly has a lot of value.

This whole thing is about money. In the first year Epic made $500m from fortnight on ios. Of course they want a larger piece of the pie - Apple got $214m.
I agree with you, for me the main limitation of this system is that you have to be sure that the temporary file exists in the same fs as the target, which in general involves creating the temporary file in the same directory. It works well, but I always feel icky creating temporary files in the middle of the filesystem (which may end up lingering if my program crashes before I could issue the rename syscall).

But beyond that I'm not aware of any portability issue, except maybe with weird filesystems like NFS in some non-standard configuration that doesn't implement strict locking.
Yeah, the worst vaccine mortality rate ever was still not remotely as bad as that, and you're not considering that a vaccine given to a 20 year old is helping to protect all the other people said 20 year old comes into contact with, who will have substantially higher mortality rates from COVID.
>The government already heavily subsidises child-rearing.

Ah yes, the lofty government subsidy of x < $600 on average per family that has enough taxable income to receive the CDCTC (x < $100 all families with children)[0]. The cost of raising a child for an average family is $12,000 per year[1].

> Child-rearing is given an arbitrary pass that other equally charitable actions wouldn't get.

Raising a child is spending 20-40 hrs a week for 18 years and a boatload of money to create another person in the workforce who will spend ~40 years generating GDP and paying taxes. Considering GDP per capita in the USA is ~$62,000 and rising, I think it is pretty safe to assume that your average-ly skilled single childless person contributing anything less than 20 hrs/week to just about any charity isn't even in the ballpark of "equally charitable."

>This model might not be viable forever as the world population keeps growing. This is a whole other can of worms.

Yeah, this is the "The Population Bomb"[2] argument that could possibly be the case but so far has no real evidence beyond hypothesis to support it... since 1968.

Just trial and error on a couple of devices now, then found a few more people suffering from it on a reddit thread.

I discovered the issue by connecting my phone to my home VPN and then trying to access services that are only accessible from my home.
> Maybe I am making assumptions here on the general political leanings of those here, but if you are talking about supporting anything like Medicare for all, UBI, BLM, PPP or even just support the Democratic party in general, pulling a little extra weight for those in a time of need is IMHO a relatively small ask that you as an individual can implement compared to those agendas.

I suspect a fair number of the complainers are people with Democratic leanings, and I think I can describe their thought process to you.

I think their problem is that a private company is doing this, not the Government. Suppose someone has to be a caregiver for an elderly relative during COVID. Facebook probably won't offer them 10 weeks for paid leave for doing this, because Facebook's internal cost-benefit metrics tell them that it's not useful. That's why people are resentful – a private company should not be in charge of deciding who gets time to deal with changes as fundamental as this in society. Policies like Medicare for all, compulsory maternity and paternity leave, or caregiver leave implemented by the Government (ideally) take into account the wishes of society as a whole, not a large private company like Facebook. For example, I think caregiver leave would be very popular due to the aging population of the US being a large section of voters, there are already tax credits starting for the same thing.

I am personally fine with giving as much time as is needed for people with families as well as people in a bunch of other situations. Life is complex and we need to help out each other as much as possible. But I fear that the ruthless utilitarianism of most American corporations doesn't play well with this worldview, leading to resentments like the article describes.
For navigation to a known address, OSMAnd works great. Google Maps is better at search, particularly for commercial destinations, and has a slicker interface. For everything else, particularly navigation off road (on trails or otherwise) OSM excels. OSM has much more detail than Google Maps for things like parks and trails, frequently even having the locations of water fountains (this has saved my ass a few times.)

I guess my point is the alternatives to Google Maps aren't perfect but they have a lot more to offer than many people assume. When I drove across Canada, from Ottawa to Anchorage, OSM never let me down. It's a viable alternative.
> “Apple denied wrongdoing and settled the nationwide case to avoid the burdens and costs of litigation, court papers show.”

That's literally the text used by everyone that settles. Apple employs enough lawyers to populate a small country. Nobody with that kind of legal firepower gives up a lawsuit by settling for a million of $300 million and up to $500 million for no good reason.

They settled for the same reasons everyone settles:

1. Because they can afford to pay.

2. Because they know they're going to lose (and they would probably have to pay more and may even be punished in some other ways, on top of that).

It's obvious I can't prove this myself, but they didn't disclose it and only did so when their hand was forced by third parties investigating and after this settlement.

I mean, what would they have to do to be assumed malicious, in this case? If basically losing a class action lawsuit is not enough, what is? Tim Cook coming up on stage and admitting it?

It's not even their first example of thinly veiled for-profit malicious moves, such as the removal of the headphone jack (presented at the time as due to space reasons, reason immediately debunked by many people disassembling phones).
> however a mobile phone is a phone first,

To you; to me, it's a means to access the internet first.

But I still agree very strongly with your post. Smart phones have become this jack of all trades, master of none devices. So almost everyone hates how smart phones don't do well enough The One Thing they use it for the most.
> Coming back into the workforce 20 years later when the marriage deteriorated was nearly impossible.

But - isn't giving up work for 20 years her choice?

For the men I know - the payments turn into about 1/3 of their net income. For the ultra rich and even the higher up FAANG, it's not really the end of the world. For the startup software engineer, it's devastating because they can't even exercise their options anymore. The payments AFAIK aren't for 11 years - it's longer. Some of them weren't with their partner for 15 years. I think it falls all on what judge you get.

$22000/yr is a lot for someone only making $75000. Especially when you don't actually get $75000/yr and you still have to pay $22,000 net.

> It can be different if a high earning person marries someone who has limited earning power, but that’s the exception these days.

Maybe more people would marry between incomes if the high earning partner wouldn't be out at least 1/3 of their income for over a decade. I'm currently in a relationship with someone who has no hopes of making any money close to what I do - marriage ain't happening and they know why.
Anyone who's been getting flu vaccines surely has a pretty good idea how ineffective they can be.
Its par for the course. You can't buy a Kobo book on a Kindle.

The question of course is an iPhone a specialized device or a general one. I would say Apple has worked as hard as it has to keep things locked down so it can say, with a straight face, that its platform is no different than a Kindle or a Leapfrog.

Its just a very successful specialized device that 3rd parties have decided to come and join the party (hosted by Apple.) So much like Xerox successfully fought off becoming a generic term, Apple is fighting off becoming a legally generic platform.
You are right; probably I have to state the question in a more precise way, which would be: why is it such that this model seems only to be used in huge "enterprisey" contexts? The model of course depends on a certain modularity of the software in question, but hasn't that been a core concept not just for the biggest players, but also the smaller shops for a while now?
>This is, incidentally, why it pisses me off when people complain that their pets don't get the same kind of accommodations that children do e.g. on airplanes or in restaurants, or that tax breaks exist for children. Your pets are optional. Children are mandatory.

I'm just glad someone decided to step in and say you were the person who should have children. Mandatory to who? Nobody asked you to make such a noble sacrifice.
Kids are not a choice in aggregate. Kids are fundamental to the survival of our species, the only intelligent life we know if in our universe. How myopic.
The closest thing I can think of that emulates a similar feeling today is the "group buy". Kids (of all ages) see new/interesting things online that aren't mass produced and they can kickstart or otherwise pay for a spot on the next/only run of this item.
No surprise - the entire NYT comments section refuses to accept that Barak Obama continued these policies for a solid eight years.

> Blocks are not organized into merkle trees in Bitcoin. Full nodes pick the longest (PoW wise) valid chain and discards any other competing chains and their blocks.

That's pretty much the definition of "rebase" and again, that's a functionality of the algorithm on top of the data structure (Proof of Work) not the data structure. The raw data structure is still a merkle tree even if in practice the algorithm suggests to people there is only one rebased trunk. But even that isn't entirely true in practice because there are still multiple rebased "branches" among the Bitcoin forks such as Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin Gold, etc. All of those are branches that share the same conceptual merkle tree. Even if they aren't "Bitcoin" that's more of an algorithmic and political distinction at that point, not a technical one by means of data structure. It's not the data structure that makes it a chain, it's the algorithm and the politics, hence why I think blockchain is a misnomer for the data structure itself.
In the second paragraph, yes. The first paragraph pretty clearly explained the difference:

"The inside/outside dynamic is not the only part of the location that matters for the dangers these events present. The big protests mainly occurred in big cities and were mainly attended by locals. The Sturgis rally happens in the middle of nowhere, people come from all over, and then head back home to places that are generally more rural. Sturgis is therefore much more likely to spread the virus to people and places who wouldn't have had much exposure otherwise."
> talks like these really should be used to help your team members with anxiety. A bit of low risk exposure therapy.

> You are supposed to train your employees and sometimes that means making them a little uncomfortable.

Reductio ad absurdum only applies if the source does not already convey that message. This literally says that your employer should be providing therapy for anxiety. (Not providing a therapist, literally performing therapy) There's no ambiguity there. It's in the original text, right there.

Anxiety and soft skills are related but soft skills are a thing to learn and be taught and anxiety is a condition. If anxiety is in the way of learning soft skills the solution is not for the employer to provide therapy.
Specifically, performance optimizations and reliability improvements. More generally, applying my most unique and valuable skill set compared to the people I work with and advocating for good design decisions toward those ends.
