I admit the 'big button for most frequent operation' was a good idea.. but a failing one.
You're painting a rosy picture. For example, how many Blacks were ever friends with Klansmen? How many Jews were friends with Nazis? If someone's opinions include the idea that I'm less than human, I can't be friends with them. It's impossible to bridge that gap if the other side sees me as an animal, or a monster, or an enemy agent actively working to destroy the country, if not the world.

I doubt there are any more hate groups now than there ever were; the difference is, these days, people are more willing to call them out for being what they are.
While this is great advice, it doesn't solve OPs problem of worrying about offending someone.

The larger problem is an offended person can do a lot of damage. In extreme cases, offended people have SWATted their targets causing all sorts of physical damage and emotional distress.

Personally, I don't want to worry about getting SWATted because some nobody from my high-school disagreed with my Facebook post. So I'm not going to post anything on Facebook.

"economically viable (it is possible to generate a reasonable level of income from it)."

The second part of that sentence, is not really the same as the first. By his own admission, his book is a real outlier on the high side (second highest in his peer group of O'Reilly books), and it only basically compensated for lost income. This strongly suggests that the median case, is you lose money.

Now, there are lots of other great reasons to write a book. The satisfaction of helping others, the space to focus and expand your thinking on a topic, the increase to your reputation, etc. But, "economically viable" doesn't really equate to "at least one or two people didn't lost money doing it".

The definition of "training" evolved.

Tech employers usually offer reimbursement for online training, conferences, books, etc. That seems commonplace and enables business models of PluralSight and alike.

Some also bring outside consultants and training firms for in-house seminars, some pay for conference expenses, and some even reimburse tuition for a professional development course.
Or avoid Smart TVs altogether if you're a cord cutter anyway, and opt for what I believe is called a "public display".
My experience matches yours: users will say yes as long as they don't have to pay for it and don't have to alter their existing workflow. In other words, no.

Eliciting what users actually want is very hard. The best way is to actually be one yourself. A distant second is to spend time with them, watching their work flow.

A distant third behind that is trying to imagine yourself into their place, reading up on their jobs, learning their tools and environment, learning who their customers/clients are and what they want, etc. That's not great, but it's better than trying to elicit the same information with a brief question about what they want.

The better you get to know the users, the better you'll be at providing their needs. That turns out to dominate the job of most professional developers. The actual "computer sciency" part of the job is less than half of it.

Rather than digging through giant marketplaces that often have hundreds of thousands of music tracks, and dealing with confusing licensing, people can subscribe and get emailed a pack of 10+ creative royalty-free music files each month - all covered under one simple license.
> There is no way - not even a theoretical way - to allow blocking of illegal content (for any definition of illegal) that won't allow for blocking of any other arbitrary content.

Well, there is: take the person or body that ultimately determines whether content is illegal, and have them review each request and proposed response and decide whether to allow the content through to the requester.

For slightly better scalability, have that body review all content outside of any request-response cycle before it can be published and sign any approved content, then block any content they haven’t signed.

Somewhat more generally, as long as the specific blocking methodology is itself part of the definition of what content is legal, any blocking method can meet the standard of “allows blocking illegal content without allowing blocking of other content”, since any content blocked by the method is, ipso facto, illegal.
If this isn't OT...

Could you kindly advise what kind of computer would make sense to purchase to begin learning about ML? I was assuming I'd get a 3080. Should I get a case that could potentially house 2 x 3080's?

In theory. But in reality, every contractor I know (including myself in a past life) bills for time on specific projects. The industry that has built up around IR35 insurance seems to think this is OK too.

Seems like they're all pretty low cost as the infrastructure is already there. The government already know your employers (tax records), points on your license (DVLA), have whistleblower systems for below minimum wage, have MOT system for car testing.

Moreover there are online systems for sharing your license details (used eg when hiring a car), checking MOT details, checking tax (HMRC) and company info (Co.Ho).

Would you pay 1% more to know your driver hasn't got points for drink driving, wasn't driving a vehicle with an unattended brake advisory, and hadn't been forced to work 14h straight by an errant employer?
ISPs should help LEAs find illegal content all day long, but developing this sort of blocking technology is not the same thing, and neither is using it. There are legitimate uses of it though, namely in employers' networks, for example.

There's no reason BitBucket, GitLab, and GitHub couldn't scan all of the unmerged commits on pushed branches to look for impending merge conflicts. BitBucket at least does once you start a PR. They could be more aggressive about that without changing any underlying algorithms.

The main difference would be that the PR check only compares with master, and you'd want to compare all branches. But a low-constant-factor test for collisions would make that cheap enough (conflicts can only occur for commits that contain the same file names, which is an O(mlogm) set intersection test of short text strings)
A long, long time ago, I had a boss who was nutso about this stuff. One day, he comes to me, and tell me to turn on read-receipts.

"Sure thing, boss." I let it work for a few days, then turn it off. Turn it back on before he comes to check why it isn't working.

"Gee, boss, I dunno. I don't even notice that, now." He goes away to 'think' about it. I keep it on for a few weeks. Then I turn it off, for the last time. I never heard from that PHB on that subject ever again.

Read receipts aren't something people ACTUALLY want. It's something they want to want. Or want you to want. Either way, nobody actually wants that unless you're trying to externalize your coping strategies onto those around you, which is maladaptive and very no bueno.

Just in case anyone is reading this later: IR35 isn't actually as simple as that, and whether you charge fixed price or T&M is likely to be a relatively minor detail in whether you are considered a disguised employee. The "doing whatever is asked of them" in the parent comment would be a bigger indicator that someone isn't truly independent and is instead operating under direction and control like an employee.

Microsoft windows on mobile failed. One of the biggest reason was lack of external services and apps. If Adobe stop working on MacBooks, they won't be lucrative to many people anymore. And Adobe won't build for an OS without users. It's the same problem as social media but worse.

Early market movers have an advantage and that will keep growing.

Another reason why many hospital systems, military, etc department pays microsoft to support XP. Those OS aren't "better". Most people using them won't choose them over windows 10 or Mac if given the option.

I'll also add that he must have one heck of a deal with ORA to get those kind of royalties because the standard ORA contract based on his sales, would not come to anything like that much money.
That would not surprise me. One might be able to recover the cost of the education at a state university. I suspect the return on investment would significantly lower at a private school with higher tuition. My daughter teaches at a high school with many students from lower income households. One of the exercizes the class did was to have each student pick a career that interested them. They had to find the cost of the degree and the median salary. Next they were to make a budget that for their living expenses based on that median salary, including repayment of the student loans. It was an eye-opening experience for these students.

Higher education can be a ticket to a great career. It can be a cost it takes a lifetime to repay, especially if penalties and interest accrues.
If you are going to hold regular people to the intellectual and emotional discipline of supreme court justices, you're gonna be disappointed. I think we can use our empathy here and understand that these systems we have created have successfully disrupted information flow, its social verification, and the tools and processes we have to mitigate fallout from this are immature. It will take time for society to filter in the social processes needed to suss out truthful information. Sadly, like those who dealt with other disruptive technologies like the printing press, I dont think this will be fixed to our standards within a generation.
Just invoke accessibility as an implicit benefit of the multitude of email usage possibilities and slack etc should be almost taboo.

Part of the cause is the US birth rate fell after 9/11 and stayed lower for a couple of years, and so we are now 19 years later and seeing lower enrollment.

Why is “market share” an incentive to reduce prices? Companies don’t chase market share. They want profit. Market share doesn’t pay bills.

That's perfectly reasonable; there's nothing to say that `/` has type `int -> int -> int` even in a strongly-typed language. I wouldn't bat an eyelid to discover that `/` had type `int -> int -> float` in any language. The problem is when you discover that `+` does not have type `int -> int -> int` (e.g. when you try and increment a very large integer and floating point stops being able to represent it).
My college said I should spend at least three hours studying for every hour in class. So in a sense, three of my four years at college were getting "a quality education remotely. Also, most of college can be learned free online or in books these days."

There is a pedagogical and psychological question of how much one learns from reading books on ones own, at one's owns pace and reading order - and how much one learns from lecture, from speaking to the professor before, during and after class and during office hours, and from working with and talking with other students taking these classes. Plus access to the library, the computer network and different servers, computer rooms, internships, student computer club meetings and open talks etc. Plus the usual of making friends, growing as a person, having access to a nice gym and swimming pool etc.

Does the unguided student even know what to study? I took graph theory for a semester and wondered why it was a prerequisite until my data structures course where I dealt with trees, graphs etc. How many people without a Bachelors in Computer Science can explain the difference between O(n) and O(log n), other than maybe they know O(log n) is faster? Yes, having a BSCS doesn't guarantee you can, but I rarely meet people without a BSCS who have any kind of theoretical basis in computer science. Maybe they went to a bootcamp for a few weeks/months and can code CRUD apps in Javascript.

I can go on...I took a writing class from a very good teacher. Although this would probably fall off the path of any focus on STEM, it improved my writing skill. Reading e-mails, instant messages, documentation, code review comments, code comments, architecture plans, presentations etc., I think a lot of people can do with a good course in writing, and it would help more IT projects get on track if people knew how to write and communicate clearly. It is not something on the clear path of STEM, but in a sense it is, and is just another thing college helps at. It can refine people in a way that helps them go on to professional work.

> If you feel you are being watched, you change your behavior.

I feel like this has been known for a long time. For example: If you walk into a Kindergarten class and watch the children play, once they notice you watching them they change behavior away from "natural play" to "observed play". I believe Cory Doctorow made this observation a spell ago.

Edit:
I'd like to add that one of my parents was a teacher in a school with two-way mirrors for observation. People could secretly observe a given class in session either for observing the teacher and//or observing the students live but without the "observer effect". The entire school building was designed for this purpose and whilst everyone knew it it appeared to work as intended. "Out of sight is out of mind" is real. Yes, this particular parent was on both sides of the glass.
I don't think "cars cost more than just the price of gas" is mental gymnastics, but an exact $ figure we can all agree on will be tough.

> You can reduce alcoholism and drug use by giving people interesting and useful things to do.

My personal experience makes me doubt this is the case. To give an example, my grandpa was an alcoholic and had a family of 7 and was the lead accountant at a major pharma company. Did he lack things to do?

I think the main cause of drug use is availability of drugs. That's one reason why doctors tend to be addicts more than the general population. My anecdotal experience is that the people that used drugs were not people that lacked "interesting and useful things to do", they were rich (and accomplished) kids with money to blow and drugs were always just a phone call away.

I'm not against people living motivated and interesting lives, but I just think you are vastly oversimplifying a major public health problem.
You are so right about private networks.

What's interesting about highways is that they produce a politically durable coalition around a combination of public ownership of the roads and private ownership of the cars.

Psychologically there is a double dose of the "feeling of ownership" because "we all" perceive the roads belong to us (e.g. a socialist feeling of camaraderie) but we also have a sunk cost in a vehicle we own that is tied to feelings of "I've somebody special because I drive a special car and such".

In contrast, investments in public transit are seeing as benefiting "special interests" in most places, except in California where normally skinflint taxpayers are notorious for ballot initiatives to fund public transit that they don't actually use.
Snowden provided an example of this in his book.

Receiving specialized clearances is both time-consuming and expensive, but the federal government happily covers the bills. The day after the clearance is issued the employee leaves the government job to return as a security contractor.
