> I don't understand how you avoid fraud. Do you accept this plan for the first payment, or the contract must have a minimal amount of good months?

We decided that the best and quickest way to help is to offer a platform that allows landlords or tenants create installment plans between themselves.

> How are you going to get money? Will you charge for a similar service once the pandemic is over? Are you going to use this to offer insurance?

The installment plan and monthly rent payment tools will remain free during and after the pandemic.

It's my understanding that the climate at the time was at the peak of a warm cycle (basically the opposite of the little ice age) which had the effect of increasing the range of more southerly plant species. We know that the one place they did have a small settlement in Newfoundland would have been forested at the time even though it is not today. This warm period ending coincides with the abandonment of Greenland.
What about responsibility? If every way is arbitrary and regretful and therefore meaningless, would responsibility be a meaningful guide?

I'm getting divorced, and, if it were just the old lady and me, either choice leads to regret, which I can accept. But our children are not at fault, so, regardless of whether I regret the choice, I'm bound by responsibility to be there for them regardless of regret.

A cynic would say that Apple manufactured the problem, and is now selling the solution.
The reliability of local data controversy was overblown. Local storage only has a 7 day expiry when the page is not saved to the Home Screen.

Unused web apps that have not been added to the homescreen will have their cached assets purged after 7 days. This is less of a problem than most think.

Also, iOS devices routinely perform better than Android devices with respect to web rendering and JS performance. Even the cheapest iPhone - the iPhone SE is more performant than any Android.
As you can see, the compiler has chosen an implementation that overflows in this case. It is not required to.
Yes, but... alcoholic mouthwashes also kill the good bacteria in your mouth, and your digestive system if ingested. So does regular drinking alcohol, for that matter. (In fact, both OTC mouthwashes and high-ABV beverages tend to kill good gut and mucosal flora in preference to the bad ones, because the good flora are highly adapted to the ecological niche that only pertains in the "normal" ecological environment of the body.) But neither alcoholic mouthwashes, nor alcoholic beverages, are prescription-only.

> and if ingested ... which is why the formulation designed for ingestion

There are all sorts of things sold OTC for putting in your mouth or other mucus membranes, that would harm you if you swallowed the active dose. Eye drops, for example. Governments generally trust people to just... not do that. They require that the manufacturer put instructions to not ingest the thing on the label, and that's usually the end of it.

Also, there is a reason that mouthwashes have child-proof caps! They are, in fact, dangerous in general if you don't know what you're doing with them!

But chlorhexidine is no more dangerous than your average mouthwash. And far less dangerous than other things you can get ahold of without a prescription.

(And, given the implication of gingivitis gingipains in Alzheimer's, it might turn out to be a lot more dangerous to not sterilize your gums. Especially if you're old, immunoincompetent, and/or have lost many of your teeth, exposing more of the gum surface to regular microabrasion. Enabling OTC access to chlorhexidine mouthwashes could very well be highly-positive in global QALYs.)

> The floor cleaner version is similar to the ingested version but it is not the same thing

Yes, my point wasn't that you should put floor cleaner in your mouth; my point was that someone can buy things that contain a large amount of chlorhexidine gluconate OTC very easily — sometimes even pure! — and anyone who cares could then just distill the active ingredient out to ensure purity. It's not like these are intentionally denatured; none of the other ingredients have the same molecular weight.

> Absolutely terrible analogy. How about instead you were denied the right to own a smartphone?

Who exactly has been denied the right to own a smartphone? Speaking of terrible analogies...

You are repeatedly conflating the iPhone with all smartphones. Saying that the smartphone is a mandatory device does not contradict the idea that the iPhone (a specific luxury brand of smartphone) is not.
While the particular mural may be in good shape I think it's worth pointing out that those Egyptian murals exist in the second best climate on earth for preservation (the first being the Antarctic desert).

Nature is trying much harder to destroy anything of archeological significance in the jungles of central and South America and the Atlantic coast of the Northeast US and Canada. We're just never gonna have great information about these societies because a much larger fraction of the stuff they left behind will be gone.
> I disagree. "source available" already has a long established meaning, and one that it far more restrictive than the TSL.

It doesn't really - it's been used to describe a pretty broad range of licenses. "Source available" means you can read the source but do not have all of the rights you'd get from an open source license. Which is the case for TSL.
Usually governments give more rights and privileges to citizens than they do to enemy combatants.
Android allows the user to prevent data from going to third parties as well. The difference is it also allows the user to prevent data from from going to the OS manufacturer. This is strictly greater privacy.

You are wrong about GPS location requests:

"By enabling Location Services for your devices, you agree and consent to the transmission, collection, maintenance, processing, and use of your location data and location search queries by Apple and its partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based and road traffic-based products and services."

It will also send your location to Apple when no app is requesting your location:

"If Location Services is on, your iPhone will periodically send the geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple, to be used for augmenting this crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations."

Unlike on Android, you cannot get your location without sending this data to Apple:

"To use features such as these, you must enable Location Services on your iPhone"

>Trusting other companies to build their own app stores in a privacy-preserving and user-friendly manner

Which app store is "privacy-preserving and user-friendly"
? None of the two big ones fit either. Sure you could argue one might be better than a Facebook made one but that doesn't mean they are good or uphold privacy.
Orthogonal maybe: but it's still hard to see it as anything other than testing the associative memory of a dog, rather than intelligence. It's a step below problem solving.
This seems to assume all of the excess deaths are directly attributable to Covid-19, but shouldn't we consider the possibility that our reaction to Covid-19 could also play a role, things like: generally increased levels of stress, suicide rate, elderly more depressed due to no in-person visitors, less exercise?

There is an important piece of information they didn't take into account. They cancelled stand-up right before the Covid lockdown.

What they are tracking is not the effect of no stand-up, but the pattern of their workers during the lockdown. The April drop in pull requests can be explained by workers feeling overwhelmed after staying home for a month.
I mean, they'd be right that my intelligence is not as well distributed as theirs. But that's a specific feature of their intelligence, that's not general intelligence.

If an octopus can beat me at Sokoban, I don't care whether it thinks with its brain or its arms, I would like to hire it as a programmer for my startup. If an octopus tries its best to play Sokoban, beats the tutorial but can't figure out the levels with actual puzzles, I won't consider it to possess general intelligence, even if it kicks my ass at say visual perception cognitive tests.

I used to teach Existentialism before leaving academia. As the other comment mentions Kierkegaard's "Either/Or" is worth a read, I also recommend "Fear and Trembling."

The other two writers associated with this term I think are must reads are Dostoevsky and Nietzsche. The former's Notes From Underground is one of my favorite pieces of literature. I highly recommend reading it alongside his "Winter Notes on Summer Impressions," a travel diary he wrote that heavily inspired his later work. In it, he vividly describes the kind of anxieties he has with modernity that influences his work.

And for those wanting a higher level overview of Existentialism and the myriad (seemingly incompatible) writers associated with the term, I highly recommend Kevin Aho's "Existentialism: an Introduction." I've read most of the popular overviews and this one is hands down the best.

It's just another way to transfer and store value.

Interacting with automated contracts is an interesting extension to that system which can make things alot more complex.

The 'dark forest' comes from a kind of man-in-the-middle attack where anyone can see the order book and exploit it, by putting their own slightly better orders in. Hence the need for co-operation with a closed order book (miner) to get the transaction in safely.

I fail to see how safety requirements and office mix. I also probably have a skewed view. I was in the military and the description in the article sounds remarkably like some “offices” in a war zone... assuming whomever was in charge had the resources in which to acquire a futon or couch, or some good poker skills.
That would be: "the fact that you have never heard of it is evidence for there being a cover up", but otherwise yes.

Dat makes it easy to update your dats (just be careful not to lose your private key). That's not possible with IPFS - you have to use IPNS. IPNS used to be slow - I'm not sure if it still is, but I'd be surprised if it's as fast as Dat.
One thing that this book mentions (and which many people swear by) is "self documenting code".

In my experience, I've found that:

(1) good "self documenting code" is typically written by programmers who care enough about documentation to write at least a high-level description of what their code is trying to achieve, what problems it is trying to solve.

(2) programmers who swear by "self documenting code" usually write code that is anything but self-documenting. Their output is usually so gloriously complex that nobody apart from them can easily read and understand their code.

Pigs are also a handy source of meat. They grow to a large mature size quickly, reproduce in large litters with an early sequel maturity, and (like dogs) can eat all type of food, like the las vegas pig farm on restaraunt leftovers https://www.agupdate.com/agriview/news/business/pigs-part-of...

Anecdote: my inlaws in Colorado 50 years ago used to grow potatoes for market and raise pigs for themselves. They showed me an enormous cast iron pot dug into an earthen stove where they'd cook potato "slop" for the pigs. To this day the family cooks with lard instead of oil.
I know A. the examples he gave do not justify his position that the "false balance" policy is bad due to his clear extreme political bias in favor of Trump and B. he has a track record of being very, very wrong about systemic issues at Wikimedia which discredits his position on this particular (supposed) issue.
The fault is always with the parent that gives a child an iPad or iPhone. Don't blame your laziness on app stores. Children grow up fine (better?) without those devices anyway. We all did so far. Grow a pair.
Just because the government leaders are elected doesn't mean a majority of the population wants everything it does to happen.

And disagreeing with specific measures is not the same as "if the other group won the vote" either.

And even if an elected government does something it doesn't make it automatically ethical and worthy of support.
This is awesome news.

This article puts up some pretense but it’s all over the place and very inconsistent. Overall it’s a pretty bad article and pretty heavy on arrogance.

Often new leaders are hired because they are unique specialists in a needed technology or new capability area.

I’ve worked in companies that had to hire billing experts, SOX compliance experts, machine learning experts, embedded systems experts, and so on - to lead fairly big initiatives and drastically restructure an engineering organization.

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t hire them to pursue a program in their specialization (what they are uniquely good at) but then also turn around and act suspicious that they are “snacking” or “preening” or deliberately seeking high visibility projects for credit.

On top of this, how juvenile do you have to be to think of your colleagues this way and generalize complex motivations and difficult prioritization into little cartoon phrases like snacking or preening. That speaks to a lot of negativity and arrogance on part of the author or anyone who would adopt these views.

Maybe that other team needs to solve a low effort, low reward task because last year they were forced to lay off a trusted teammate and everyone’s morale is terrible, and they need a quick win.

Maybe that project you arrogantly believe is all about “visibility” is actually required for some compliance reasons you aren’t aware of.

Stop wasting time with these judgments and perhaps take an attitude of trusting your colleagues and believing they are sincere, and especially trusting their judgment in their project areas of specialization.

Yeah, that's why I built my startup. Status is not a discrete event like standups pretend, but you also need a tool set that lets you raise issues without breaking people's flow. The proper way for this to work is to have your workflow system enforce some structure on severity and types of communication, and just notify you in priority order when you're ready to handle stuff.

You are spot on in where we differ.

I take only the 10,000 year historical view because I see the rise of states as a massive regime shift in human society. I don't think humans will go pre-state ever again. I can see us defeating death well before we defeat taxes. Taxes imply some power concentration which is equivalent to wealth concentration and therefore the existence of material power/wealth inequality.

I don't have any books to suggest on modern economics. I would gladly take any recommendations that you have.

I'm of two minds on this.

Fundamentally, my opinion is that Apple (or any device manufacturer) should not be restricted what an end user can or cannot do with a device they own, and that includes restricting what software can be installed. I largely switched away from iOS (I still have an iPad for drawing and reading, but my phone is Android) because I philosophically resent this patronizing approach.

BUT I also think that most of the points in the linked article have merit, and frankly the App Store has become a dumpster of clone apps and scammy pay-to-win games.

To me the obvious solution from a technical point of view would be to allow side-loading and alternative app stores on iOS. If Apple's store were just one way among many to install software on iOS (but the only one enabled out of the box), Apple could and should be much more selective in what they allow in their store, without impacting choice for customers who go looking for it.

It would also be trivial to implement parental controls to block non-Apple sources on kids' phones/school devices/etc.

Of course, Apple would then have a much harder time to justify themselves rent-seeking from pay-to-win apps :troll:
