All those free repair and decent Apple experience are all from US. Worldwide Apple Services tends to be crap.

In a similar way, the problem with democracy is that people can choose bad leaders. The problem with freedom of religion is that people can join harmful religions.

These aren't theoretical. Adolf Hitler was elected. There have been many harmful cults and religious groups. There are extreme examples in every society.

These freedoms and rights are dangerous. They are controversial. That's why they need explicit philosophies, constitutions and declarations in order to defend them broadly.

I think defending free speech with "the bad speech isn't that harmful, actually" is a bad road to go down.
The Broadcast app offers three AI-powered features:

Noise Removal: remove background noise from your microphone feed – ...

Virtual Background: remove the background of your webcam feed and replace it with game footage, a replacement image, or even a subtle blur.

Auto Frame: zooms in on you and uses AI to track your head movements, keeping you at the center of the action even as you shift from side to side...

These features can be used beyond game broadcasting as well — from video conferencing at home with Zoom, to gaming with friends on Discord.
If I had to guess it's probably because not everyone attending the webinar needs CLE credits reported. I can imagine people intentionally selecting no if they're not an attorney or if they're licensed in a jurisdiction that doesn't require it.

Or perhaps it's to teach the most valuable CLE of all - too hasty a response risks a critical mistake. I can't even recall the specific topic of the webinar but I definitely learned a lesson!

I think we should talk about how to design systems such that preventable deaths happen less often (supposing the costs to prevent them are appropriately scaled). I think hitting PG&E with arbitrarily large fines in this situation will not ultimately have much beneficial effect on the rate of preventable deaths. I think that their negligence happened to be the spark, but if not something else would have caused it. Like a tree falling on a line, a lightning strike, or a gender reveal party. Even if the fine led to perfect compliance on their part (it wouldn't/won't), that would not substantially reduce the rate of preventable deaths. This is because their negligence is not the central cause that most significantly raises the probability of large fires.
It seems like a lot of the discussion surrounding DOD that gets popular interest is centered on a small set of patterns that you can apply. And the implication that DOD is the application of these patterns usually follows.

Taking this article as an example, it frames DOD as an optimization technique and explicitly states that these patterns are the main concepts of DOD.

But while these patterns are interesting and often show up in data-oriented designs, they are not themselves foundational to data-oriented design.

This is interesting to me because it seems to obviously be missing something. If the article went through a list of the design patterns present in the GOF book and framed them as the main concepts of OOP, I would imagine people would be a little bit suspect, right?

That's because it's kind of the reverse, isn't it? The main concepts of OOP may result in certain common PATTERNS of code structure and layout -- which have usually been given names like "Strategy" and "Visitor" and "Singleton" -- but those patterns are not themselves the main concepts of OOP.

Likewise, data-oriented design might lead you to convert an array-of-structures into a structure-of-arrays or avoid branching on a hot path but those patterns are not themselves DOD.
They also have a massive global team of really brilliant people working on NX and the related components. I'm talking former NASA employees who worked on components for the space shuttle or Mars rovers work there. That's the kind of expertise you can't really buy or acquire as an OSS project.

Plus, they are not shy about acquisitions. It's how they maintain their dominance. Any company that builds a remotely useful product in that space will find themselves sitting in front of a Big Fucking Check that's going to be hard to turn down. Anyone who turns it down will probably find themselves sitting in front of several patent lawsuits all over the world.
> people who used to gossip to a small audience down the pub now have equal platforms to newspapers.

I'd say they have a bigger audience than newspapers. "Gossip" and "fake news" have higher engagement rates than boring real news, and thus are more likely to show up in the news feed on social advertisement platforms.
India and Pakistan suffer from the lowest life expectancy in the world and diabetes is exploding. They do in fact have a fair amount of obesity, but the rate is not as high as it is in the west because it is overpowered by poverty, so they are on a low-calorie version of a poor diet. There is also much more manual labor happening in India, which keeps the weight off.
This is a solved problem and the solution is virtualenv.
Learning how to use venv's would have likely taken less time than the tinkering described in this post. If you're going to regularly develop with python and use 2nd/3rd party code, it's worth knowing.
Exactly the same. Original airpods were fitting my ear like they were molded just for me. I ran and jumped with them in my ears multiple times, they pretty much didn't move at all.

Airpods Pro are awesome in terms of sound and features, but no matter which of the included eartips I use for it, they always tend to wiggle out. Never fully to the point of falling out, but plenty of times it got to that weird in-between stage of falling out and staying in. No idea why. Hopefully there are more third party eartips available for Airpods Pro now as opposed to the last time I checked (which was just a month or two after the release), so I can finally find a pair that makes them stay in.
In other words: "tax anyone who doesn't follow my fad diet"

I kind of understand the backlash against the skinny-chic look foisted upon people by the baddies in the fashion industry, but now there’s an equally bad movement which kind of says “it’s cool to be overweight, don’t sweat it, this is how we are”. Yes, true, for some people there is little recourse, their physiology is such, but a majority could become healthier with a better lifestyle choice.
Is there truth to the fact that there are many body types and that each body knows what the correct weight should be and they reach that weight by consuming what is necessary?

For example, when I diet and reduce weight, I gain it back in few months. May be I am meant to be at the higher weight. Many say that greedy corporations have set up the numbers for diabetes and it’s okay to have higher A1C.
If they used to recommend a good mix of content, what do you feel is the issue with recommendations now? Not enough variety? Not enough relevance?

As a US native, this a thousand times. When I started doing meal prep for an exercise program, and really loading things up with protein, I was surprised at just how little I needed to eat throughout the day to feel satiated and energized, even while beginning a workout routine that was quite tough for a beginner.

Sometimes I still like to eat out, but it's a rare treat, I can't do it every day like I used to when I was younger. Even then, I'll usually look for the junior portions, which are plenty filling.
> Second, we need better food labeling. "Server size" is too arbitrary. Instead use ratios: ratio per N calories, and ratio per weight. That way we can easily compare across product types. It can be worded as "X units per N calories" and "X units per gram", or the like.

In Europe labels need to have nutritional information using standard units (e.g. 100g or 100ml). It seems very odd they don't require that in the US too.

>There are new forces at play which will calcify current software stacks and make it extremely hard for existing or new entrants to see similar success without a massive coordinated push backed by big enterprise companies [...] enterprises no longer trust their developers and SREs to take care of security, and so protocols are being implemented top down.

The security community got exactly what they asked for.

Security people were selling fear of insecurity with limited actionable advice for security to come into products/systems bottom-up, so the business has to solve it with process. Breaking into computers is fun and all, but throw around words like "risk analysis" to sound like hot shit for too long and you end up with comprehensive risk analysis process that spans beyond the bits of tech you want to play with.

I work in a highly-regulated domain so software security is just another type of risk analysis we do. So shrug whatevs this doesn't calcify us more than we are already calcified. I just think it's cute that infosec people thought they were hackers, but didn't realize they're another flavor of boring business analyst telling the kids to turn down their music and develop software to their requirements.

> If there were populations with significant relict Neanderthal DNA, you'd be looking at more like the Celt/Gaul populations, and talking at least a thousand years before that -- think the British isles, before the Angles/Saxons moved in. And even that is very... speculative history.

Very speculative indeed, considering there was plenty of movement of people between the British Isles and the continent before the Anglo-Saxons arrived (who themselves had surprisingly little impact on the genetic makeup of the British people [0]). And if there was significant Neanderthal DNA in the British Isles 1500 years ago, it would still be detectable among living generations (it isn't).

If picking up a 3DS, I highly recommend a "New" model. They include cameras that track your eyes, making the 3D effect much better.

It's true the 3D effect is just a gimmick, but it's a very neat one. Games like Metroid Samus Returns are much better in 3D IMO. The game feels like an actual mini diorama is in front of you.
> Nothing good comes from shame.

While this may seem harsh at a surface level, are you really sure nothing good comes from shame? Is shame always an unhealthy emotion to experience? It seems to me that it is effective in focusing attention on potential personal misjudgement or misbehavior, and can strengthen resolve to break bad habits or otherwise ensure a better outcome for oneself going forward.
I am not disagreeing with you, I just think that the "grammar" still works even with terrible naming. It is harder to read, it is harder to maintain, but it is still real. Perhaps I am missing some subtler point here...
What makes a food "low quality" vs "high quality"?

I would argue that the answer is the nutrient to calorie ratio. Many nutrients for few calories is good, but few nutrients for many calories is bad. By this analysis, plant-based food is "low quality" and animal-based food is "high quality".

So if calories are what make you gain weight then it makes sense that people following a plant-based diet would gain weight compared to people following an animal-based diet because they will need to consume more calories to acquire the same amount of nutrients.
I think in general it’s considered rude to mention that someone is stupid, unattractive, poor, etc. Overall, people are already suffering from low confidence due to these issues and pointing them out only hurts them. Unless someone is seeking out honest feedback in these areas, it’s probably better not to volunteer any. On the other hand, it’s fine to talk about how society has a problem with education, poverty, or obesity and suggest society-scale solutions.

"This opinion seems to be highly uninformed about how the EU and it's actual bodies work."

" the european commision and the council consist of either parties elected in the national elections"

For lambasting others as uninformed, you should check your facts first. The EU Commission is not made up of elected officials, moreover, the EU has no obligation whatsoever to follow the results of parliamentary elections.

The 'proportional' makeup of the assembly is irrelevant if they are mostly powerless - by far the most powerless legislative assembly in the free world.

" The way of elections in the EU is roughly the same as what happens in most if not all EU member states"

This is really not true. The leaders of various parties, their platforms etc. are all well known during the course of EU member state elections, moreover, EU member state legislative bodies have the power to sanction, remove the executive, and of course to actually legislate.

Edit: EU members states have some of the best and most representative democracies in the world, it's such a blatant contrast at the EU level, it's hard to forgive people for not seeing why things are the way they are.

There is going to be some of that as part of what they do is demonstrating new technologies and techniques for old problems.

The scale of the renovations has definitely grown exponentially over the years, so it might be worth revisiting some of the earlier seasons where their projects were more modest. I remember some of them struggling more with budget then the more recent projects seem to.

This is why I wish we'd done more basic research on the immune system long ago. Maybe if we'd invested more time and money into a vaccine for HIV/AIDS, a disease which attacks the immune system directly, we'd realize we need to do this basic research on how our immune system works in order to even begin to understand a pandemic and our response to it. But at least I have hope we're getting it now so when something worse comes along we'll be more ready for it.
That's my experience as well. It will only recommend videos that I assume are popular globally, and old videos from channel I've watched in the past (including videos I've already watched), until I watch enough of something new and it suddenly switches to only recommending that. There's gotta be some middle ground...

I don't understand how the recommendation algorithm seems so brittle, given that advertising is their core business, and that I am manually doing so much of the work by subscribing to channels I enjoy. A simple feed of recent updates from channels I subscribe to would be an improvement; in fact I think I mostly find videos to watch from Twitter.

yes, masks are marginal at best, and as long as you're not spending a lot of time breathing another's direct exhaust, even indoors, you're at negligibly low risk of transmission.

i get super frustrated with the random corona rules at supermarkets in the US (like one-way only aisles, exit only doors), especially trader joe's, which is as draconian as it is arbitrary. for a while they weren't allowing you to take in your reusable grocery bags. later they relented and switched to just bagging your own groceries outdoors, leading to an awkward triple handling of your purchased items for what amounts to nothing other than safety theater.

for 6 months i've worn the same useless surgical mask to play my part in that misguided spectacle, when required. folks are slowly starting to realize their lack of utility, but have nothing else to latch onto because the obvious solution of modest distancing seems so mundanely unbelievable (and lacking obvious and spectacular conformance).

I think you're saying, "But they're not a good example of the things that can go right," and I'd have to agree. As a cautionary tale memories of that show delayed me buying my first house by almost five years. And I should have vetoed some things my partner was okay with that bit us even though I knew better.

I recall thinking for instance how unrealistic it was how often they knew a guy who knew a guy who could get them a nice reclaimed piece to greatly reduce the money:quality ratio for a bathroom, a staircase, a fireplace or a gable. From a standpoint of normalizing recycling and reclamation, thumbs way up. But nobody is that lucky when the cameras are off. I'm sure extra favors were returned off-camera (in addition to the brief infomercial)
