I say this as someone who’s been using the Apple Watch for a few years and like what it offers. Apple is not committed to making the average person exercise. It’s committed to pushing people to a world where everyone measures their self worth by the number of exercise minutes or the number of calories burned everyday.

> The Health app is merely feeling that I appear to be taking strides. It can't tell I'm on a bike.

Of course it can’t tell the difference. It’s the same with the watch too. Do some cooking or wash the dishes and it’ll happily count that as exercise...or to put it in its term “workout”. But this is to be expected of these devices.

> Yet the insidious nature of apps is such that you can't help but go back to them. Again and again.

That’s where people get stuck, especially after they get a wearable (like the watch) that’s always with them. And Apple isn’t making it any easier although it could do it. It took Apple five years to make the stand hour targets and exercise minutes targets configurable (this has been possible only in the recent watchOS 7). People have been asking for break days in the week, but Apple is just plain lazy to implement it and pushes you (“motivates”, in its parlance) to close your rings every single day and praise you for doing it without a break.

> I'm beginning to worry it's made me an even worse, more neurotic person.

> You see, it would, at any instance, tell me I was walking less than I did the day before. Or the week before. Even if it was a 0.1 miles difference, the scolding was painful.

This whole design is downright stupid, IMO. Apple shouldn’t treat all users the same. There are people who like to push the limits and keep going beyond. There are people who just want a little bit of push but not a constant push to become the next world class athlete. If there’s one thing that sows doubt in my mind that machines can learn, it’s that Apple Watch and Health can never learn that I just want a constant target week after week, month after month and year after year. But it will always try pushing me to do more every week. When I realized that it’s designed to kill me through exercise, I stopped accepting its suggestions for the Move Goal and bring it down to what I want. It just doesn’t listen and learn though.

Tell the machine what to do, and avoid having the machine tell you what to do. These machines aren’t smart enough.

Yes it is ridiculous that an internet query is in the path of starting a local app for the first time in X hours. If it has to be done, it could be done in a daily batch for all apps when the connection is idle, and on install. Using bloom filters to check for recent invalidations would be even better.

For the most part, those "viewpoints" are verifiable falsehoods, conspiracy theories, and other types of disinformation and misinformation.

"For the most part"

But incredibly, disinformation and misinformation like "the Hunter Biden story is a Russian plot" doesn't get censored, despite absolutely no proof and in fact, evidence to the contrary.

Funny that is.

Is Big Sur compliant with GDPR? Do they list what they send and why and is it opt in? Or the OS is using a loophole that GDPR only applies to the web?

Depends on the bulbs. Our Philips Hue bulbs (ZigBee) work perfectly fine. None of the issues you or the OP describes are an issue: they continue to work as regular bulbs if the hub fails, can be paired via Bluetooth app without proximity to the hub, and seem to have a lot of range. Best thing is that no wiring/electrician is necessary.

Agree, we will likely end up with right leaning town square and left leaning town square. And because every company seems to think they need to pick a side on political topics, it may extend beyond speech platforms. For instance I wouldn't be surprised if at one point conservative leaning viewers would migrate away from the likes of netflix for been fed up of being preached woke catechism in every TV show. And perhaps calling your customers sexists and bigots isn't the best advertising strategy for shaving products. Etc.
Nobody knows me on here, so I'll have to keep it that way after I post this. Get professional help. A combination of COVID-19, a high paying/high stress consulting job, and a history OCD related stress & paranoia pushed me into a VERY bad place. I was considering suicide. I didn't go outside for weeks if I could avoid it. I'd go 3-4 days w/o a shower (out of character for me). I started subconsciously punishing myself via starvation (Shitty Life Pro-Tip - drink a lot of water & you won't feel hungry! Eating disorders FTW!) because I wasn't hungry & didn't need to eat because I wasn't really doing anything all day. I cut off from people who reached out to me.

I was fortunate to be well off financially after 5 months to walk away from the consulting job. My wife didn't see it because I hid it from her. I reached a braking point when I walked way from the consulting & was well supported by the engagement manager. I took two months off, I started seeing a counselor (virtually, thanks COVID-19), and I started on Prozac. I'm not "done" yet, but I'm an order of magnitude closer to who I was before all this happened. I've started to gain weight back. Suicide no longer holds its appeal. I can consider the idea that there might be a world after the year 2020, and that I should be a part of it.

Sorry - I know this is rambling. Let me pull back to my point: getting help is the only thing that would help. If you could change yourself, by yourself, you would have by now. It takes the push of someone else's perspective to move you, because you simply can't move yourself. Your best bet is a professional - you have your own bias and trust issues with friends & family, no matter how much they mean to you. Hang in there. No matter how bad life gets, don't let anyone, let alone you, tell you that you don't deserve to be a part of it.
I used to do a commute of around 1.5 hours each way, every day, for years. This was justified by my (at the time) reasonable salary, and all the self-reflection and podcast listening I could do. This was foolish in hindsight (speaking personally of course, I have no doubt that some people enjoy their commute). I didn't appreciate this was 3 hours, every day, of the prime years of my life. I will never get that time back. And what's more is that I didn't factor this into my salary justification. I saw salary as compensation for my hours _in_ work: this is wrong. It's also your time getting there. That's the comparison you should make, which may make that local job more appealing.
I had almost exactly the same problems, albeit on a much smaller scale of perhaps 10% the size of this person's network.

I spent years and a fair chunk of cash trying and failing to get a reliable zigbee and z-wave network set up using various bits of kit.

To echo the article, the problem with zigbee & zwave for me was that things would stop working, and it was almost impossible to work out why. The only "solution" was to start the annoying repairing process as outlined in the article which was a huge ballache.

In the end I also binned all of the zigwave & zwave bits and moved to a 100% wifi-based solution using MQTT & Tasmota firmware (1) running on very cheap hardware that is usually <10GBP per node. It is very reliable - I don't think I have had a single unexplained outage in the couple of years I've been running this now. Wifi + MQTT is mature and just works. It is also super easy to diagnose problems - you can see the devices on your network, ping them, subscribe to their MQTT topics, manually send messages on MQTT etc. Its a dream compared to the black box of zigbee & z-wave where you essentially had zero control apart from on/off.

Wifi + MQTT + Tasmota appears to be the solution for me.

My main complaint now is that HomeAssistant cant connect to Google Home/Alexa (so that I can use voice control), so I am using OpenHAB (which has a free integration that works). OpenHAB seems absurdly complex though, and they seem to be in a continual process of rewriting the software (some stuff is stored in config files, some in a databases, and the location of the config files is not in the docs/the docs have the wrong location so backups are hard, the docs are only for V1 (but don't say that they are only for V1) but the current version is V2 that is also deprecated because they are working on V3 etc, the recommended UI can't do everything you need to do to get the system working so you have to manually update stuff in a shell but the aforementioned docs telling you what file to edit are just plain wrong etc because the are referring to some different version, running OpenHAB in docker requires some odd permissions/user set up on the host machine etc - it is a mess). I am planning on ripping out OpenHAB and replacing with NodeRED at some point since that seems sane.

The response is signed by Apple, and presumably (!) your Mac is validating that signature correctly. I haven't checked if they are using stapling, but that would be the sensible way to do it, in which case it is a server side parameter (though possibility with client side limits too, but you'd need to disassemble the binary).

> No one wants to spend time on the Internet listening to a bunch of randos talking about how the Jews are secretly lizard people manipulating the elections except other such crackpots.

I don't think that is representative of users of Parler. I would agree with you if you said Gab.

This may surprise you but the vast vast majority people are joking about the likes of the lizard people. It is a bit of fun because of how ridiculous the idea is.

> Let these people go there and convince each other of their fringe conspiracy theories. Freedom of association and all that. If they will stop polluting normal places with their crackpottery we're all better off.

From "Anatomy of the State" by Murray Rothbard pages 27 and 28:

> It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any “conspiracy theory of history;” for a search for “conspiracies” means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds. If, however, any tyranny imposed by the State, or venality, or aggressive war, was caused not by the State rulers but by mysterious and arcane “social forces,” or by the imperfect state of the world or, if in some way, everyone was responsible (“We Are All Murderers,” proclaims one slogan), then there is no point to the people becoming indignant or rising up against such misdeeds. Furthermore, an attack on “conspiracy theories” means that the subjects will become more gullible in believing the “general welfare” reasons that are always put forth by the State for engaging in any of its des-potic actions. A “conspiracy theory” can unsettle the system by causing the public to doubt the State’s ideological propaganda.

When large news organisations that are owned by the rich or the state are telling you that they need to "stop mis-information and conspiracy theories" on platforms where anyone can post anything that means some of those theories might not be as soo fringe as you like to make out.

Sure, there are exceptions (there always are), but in my experience, lecturers, teachers and academics reach for formulas to "explain" things too quickly. Formulas are not explanations. They serve as PROOF that what you explained actually works.

> So you just dismiss many of epidemiological or public health experts and accused them selling out.

Yes, there is no reason to listen to propaganda funded by obviously biased sources, when unbiased sources like the WHO and all major national health agencies say otherwise.

> So you only agree the experts that fit your view.

I agree with unbiased experts, not experts who participate in privately funded propaganda. Show me a national health agency which opposes lockdowns and I'll listen (though there are many more that do).

The only one I know of is Sweden's, and there (1) a lockdown would be unconstitutional anyway, and (2) people have voluntarily locked down just as much if not more than in surrounding countries.

This is an important aspect you're completely missing: the majority of the population understands the huge risks posed by this virus, and will lockdown anyway. The majority of people don't want to go to work in crowded places, they don't want to go to restaurants, they don't want to spread disease among their employees.

Most multinational companies were in fact ahead of government lockdowns, as they also did simple math: lost productivity from employees working from home or in shifts < lost productivity from employees sick or dead or permanently impaired from a disease, at least for employees who are not easily replaceable. So most if not all big companies started observing a lockdown as much as they could in February, regardless of any local regulations.

While we should presumably take seriously everything this Arkani-Hamed character has to say on physical issues, on philosophical issues this is much less clear.

I’m actually contemplating exchanging all our halogen spotlights (as they’re no longer being sold) to IKEA Trådfri.

My rationale for it is that I want to be able to dim them, but exchanging halogens for LEDs would mean the transformer wouldn’t see enough of a load to dim properly. By exchanging everything for IKEA bulbs I save on changing the transformer since the dimming circuit is in each bulb.
