"asymmetry of injuries" is just anodyne enough of a phrase to seem obvious and fine, but it doesn't follow at all from GPs post. GPs post is about how men face _symmetrical_ injury, thus it is unfair to say it's an _asymmetric_ issue and only females are affected (if you need convincing on this, note their invocation of how unfair it is to LGBTQ people that the debate is reduced to gender...the opposite of your claim...)

I'm in a similar type of place (Boston surburb) with extremely high mask adherence outdoors when walking by. But studies show that walking briefly by people outdoors isn't actually how you get it in the vast vast majority of cases. So it's a little bit of covid theatre.

> We use Glue extensively, but we have a rule of thumb not to use any of the 'special sauce'. That means is using it purely for 'Spark as a service'

This is spot on IMO. I use Glue internally (opinions are my own) and still believe that the best course of action is Glue should only run managed Spark. We provide an empty Scala "script" that does nothing, and load a compiled JAR file with the Scala code that actually runs our job as a library and have Glue exec into that.

We can version the ETL in git, run local tests outside of the Glue data plane, prototype in the Spark shell, and much more.

So, it's $4,200 in China, but the base price in the US is $17,499, before rebates. That's a pretty big difference; is it because of design changes required to be legal to drive in the U.S., or largely just shipping and tariffs?

On their website, they list the bigger K23's battery type as "Ternary lithium" whatever that means. They describe the K27 battery just as "lithium". I wonder what they actually use; is it lithium iron phosphate? Or "regular" NMC lithium-ion? It would be interesting if they use different batteries for the US version and that's a big part of the price difference.

It's a lot easier to roll out charging stations than gas stations, and it's already fairly well established in the urban areas where people don't live in homes. I think it's entirely realistic to have more charging ports in California than gas nozzles by 2030 if not 2025.
Thought experiment: These biases are mostly shared among people so you got them in yourself. Instead of thinking "What is the ideal software engineer", think "what is the ideal feminine software engineer" and "what is the ideal masculine software engineer". The picture in your head will be very different. If you are a woman you will be compared to the ideal feminine engineer while as a man you get compared to the ideal male one.

The prime example is the term "bossy", women get called this since they are expected to be much more cooperative than men. I think a very big issue right now is that we use men as a standard and say "when women use male strategies they get pushback for being too masculine", instead to gain individual success they should try to be like successful women. In an ideal society this wouldn't be the case, but as is these biases exists and so you have to work with them.

And as a personal anecdote, when I looked for jobs as a new grad when I used more cooperative and less personal excellence I didn't get any callbacks. I got lots of callbacks when I focused on personal excellence though. Its as if companies assumed I was less competent just because I talk about teamwork, because their ideal masculine software engineer wouldn't talk like that. You can see here how it works:

https://hbr.org/2018/10/how-men-get-penalized-for-straying-f...

Edit: The moral of the story is that when we tell men to be more feminine and women to be more masculine we just hurt them. Men and women aren't evaluated by the same metrics. People told me "Companies expects you to be a teamplayer, try to highlight that!", but it was clearly wrong and didn't help me at all.
Electricity is everywhere. Deployment of charging infrastructure is going to be trivial, especially in parking lots with existing light poles.

That's not to say there won't be growing pains, but we will deploy. Over the course of 2015 I went from always being able to find a charger to not being able to ever find one, and then since 2017 I haven't had a single problem because more chargers were added. For a couple years, I lived in an apartment where the landlord was a dock and wouldn't let me install a charger at the car port, and I had to charge at public chargers. It worked out, even though it wasn't ideal. And when the laws finally reign in the rapacious landlords, we will have plenty of charging at apartments too.
This is just not true. It's up to individual content providers to decide what resolutions to supply via L3, and for Netflix and Amazon Prime, that resolution is 1080p.
It would be great for developers and users if there were real competition in app distribution. That way people can decide if the 30% fee is truly worth it compared to the competition that might be more efficient or offer more value, or that might charge less.

I've opted to purchase the new MBAir, and will only use it in conjunction with a travel router, on which I have root, and can default-deny all network traffic from the laptop except for the stuff I explicitly permit. Dual-Wi-Fi, small travel routers will run for quite some time on a USB battery pack.

I've been meaning to do this for some time anyway, due to the pervasive spyware that's embedded in most iOS apps, which Apple explicitly permits in the App Store. One travel router device should serve me for phone+tablet+laptop. I'll probably have it just do LTE+WireGuard back to a server I run, and then do all of the filtering/monitoring on the VPN server.

It sucks that it's come to this. Hopefully Apple can find their way back. I have a machine running KDE Plasma, which is worlds better than it was in years past, but still has enough rough edges compared to macOS's mirror sheen that it's annoying to use. I'm keeping my intel rMBP 16" I just got as it's likely the last machine of this quality level that will be able to run such a system.

This is mostly Herman Kahn redux.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kahn

When there were 3 TV channels in the 1960s, in prime time programming you would often hear discussions just like this, from Kahn himself at times. Topic and people inspired the movie Dr. Strangelove and was at the forefront of the national consciousness in the late 1950s and early to mid 1960s.

As a set of ideas and concerns, it was beaten to death at the time, revived a bit during the “nuclear winter” thesis of the 1980s, and always was and continues to be an active issue at the Federal level. Mismanage nukes and you can be booted out even if you are the Secretary of the Air Force.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-airforce-idUSWAT00960...

It is a very, very deep rabbit hole. Could be fun to see how far you can get with unclassified sources, for various peculiar values of “fun” until you turn into a character from Strangelove yourself.

The classic starting point is On Thermonuclear War, 1960, Kahn.

Now that I think of it, Kahn died in the early 1980s. If he reincarnated immediately, he’d be in his mid 30s.

How old are you, landfish? Is that you, Kahn?

Those ballots were rejected as part of an orderly process. There's no evidence that the people that cast them were ineligible, just a decision that the process used to accept them was not technically correct.

That they were segregated and ruled upon by a judge before being included in the election results arguably counts in more in favor of the election being secure than anything else. And it was on a simple technical argument (an extended deadline during a pandemic isn't fraud).

Lenovo might be known that way, but they are exceptionally bad at supporting Linux. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-admits-ThinkPad-CPU-thr...

As far as I know this issue is still not fixed so I have to use this hack: https://github.com/erpalma/throttled

I’ve also had tremendous Thunderbolt-related firmware issues that could only be fixed in Windows. If you use Linux, there are much better options than Lenovo. I still use my T480 daily but I miss my old XPS 13, which gave me no issues ever.
If that's the case, then I'm honestly curious what point you were trying to make, because I see no other way to interpret it. How is saying "put the heads on pikes" substantially different than "should be beheaded"? Are you suggesting that there's some way to "put them at the two corners of the White House" without any beheading?

Is this really an example of the "fake news" you love to demonize, or are you just arguing in bad faith because the truth makes you look bad?
I mean, it wouldn't but that is the way it works. Ex:

$ file /usr/bin/ssh
/usr/bin/ssh: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e]
$ file /Applications/Numbers.app/Contents/MacOS/Numbers
/Applications/Numbers.app/Contents/MacOS/Numbers: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64]

It's probably nice to have a single release for both platforms. And the installer and a clean install is only 12-14GB, not that heavy a lift.
> If you disagree with that chain of reasoning, what is your disagreement?

I don't disagree with this at all. I never said I disagree with the ruling anywhere. I am happy the Courts did their job. I am talking about the electoral system not the Courts. I am saying that if it needed a Court to rule that the ballots needed to be discarded then the electoral system, by itself, is not robust enough. Court must be the last resort. Imagine if the Trump legal team hadn't challenged this in the Courts. What would have happened to the ballots? Would have been counted right? The crux of the matter is the subject line: "November 3rd election was the most secure in US election history". Not secure at all if you are changing the rules illegally. The Secretary of State's decision to change rules should have been overturned by the Electoral system itself. It should never have gone to the Courts. It went to the Courts because there was a failure to overturn the decision when it mattered.

And think of it this way: It not only doesn't favour Trump but also doesn't favour Biden. Many might have not sent in their ballots on time thinking there is still time (till November 6th). Now have those voters been disenfranchised?

> My understanding is that the ballots in question are not part of the current vote count in PA and so this ruling changes nothing with regard to the electoral votes from PA.

Yes because those ballots were "not allowed" to be counted. If the Trump legal team hadn't challenged it in courts, it would have been counted inflating the numbers even more. This is just one instance. The more lawsuits are filed the more the mess gets uncovered.

It’s more complicated than this. Covid is barely worse than the average flu for healthy young people, yet even those with no contact with at-risk groups must still disrupt their lives for seemingly no reason. IMO this is unfair to them and also prevents herd immunity from developing. Furthermore outbreaks are happening in places even with more strict protocols. Overall I think the damage from the reaction to the pandemic is worse than the disease itself.

> It worked out, even though it wasn't ideal. And when the laws finally reign in the rapacious landlords, we will have plenty of charging at apartments too.

That's cool if you live in apartment buildings with designated parking.

I don't. I live in a place with only street parking (don't give me the "charge at work" thing - street parking there too). As evident by how many cars are on the street at any given time, you can bet that that population is very sizeable.
The fix to obesity is caloric restriction. As an extreme example, look at pictures of people in concentration camps: no obese people there. The reason why it’s a good example is because it’s “forced” caloric restriction, and it shows that it works. Obese people make the choice to consume more calories than requires, hence being obese.

> you don't even need to use ANY smartphone

You don't even need to live indoors either. You don't need a telephone, you don't need oil, you don't need to make things out of steel. You can live without any of it.

Antitrust isn't about how much you need something, it's about competition. It's illegal to abuse a monopoly on cotton candy, regardless of the fact that nobody actually needs cotton candy.

Moreover, the point of the analogy is to demonstrate switching costs. Phone platform transitions are costly. You not only have to replace your device but all your apps, your operating system (which incurs training costs), any services that are only supported or well-supported on one platform including those with network effects that are used by other people, etc. It's not at all trivial and can involve tens of hours of labor. So if that's what you have to do in order to have a choice in where you can buy a $1 app, that isn't really a choice. It's not anywhere close to cost effective to do it even if the competitor is charging $0.70 for the app instead of $1.

And you would have to do it every time. Even if you switched to Android, now you're stuck in a different market -- Google Play doesn't have to worry about you buying the next app from Apple, because to do that you would have to pay to switch back.

> Next, we'll see people complaining how google.com should be displaying alternative search engine links on their frontpage because it's too hard for people to type bing.com.

I'm experimenting with Linux these days. There are some minor annoyances with using an outdated version of macOS. Unfortunately those apply to not just one or two apps, but every part of the OS when using Linux. Basic things like WiFi drivers or sleep support. I'm encouraged by the trackpad driver project, but it's not there yet. So I'm still hanging on to my 2014 Retina MacBook Pro using 10.13, until some Linux distro catches up. I feel like that will happen soon though.

Very true. I have used Ubuntu and Fedora for a while, but when I switched to Arch, I never go back. Arch is described as bleeding edge, but another way to put it is it always has latest software, which is what a dev machine should be. My experience with installing Nvidia driver in ubuntu is nightmare. Tried official repo then failed, and tried different ppa and then failed again and again. At last, I found that I have an older kernel version and I need to compiled a latest kernel which is not in official ubuntu repo. I gave up at this point because I don't want to compile kernel every time I need to upgrade. With Arch, you always get the latest kernel and you won't usually missing feature from using an old LTS kernel.
What makes it good at media creation? AFAICT almost all the major creation apps are cross platform. Further, there are entire media creation industries that are majority non-mac.

This is what I meant by selling data.

The only data I know of that they sell directly is to NSA where they provide access to data and get money for it. They are largely compelled to do this though and I expect anyone in the US with data would be forced to as well.

Interestingly since google could deanonymize if they wanted, I wonder if nowadays NSA is just sucking in all our profiles from google and then deanonymizing to have de facto profiles on every human on the planet.
This is DeCSS all over again. Was that ever resolved? It seems to me the original DeCSS complaints were more or less dropped because technology moved on and they couldn't mount a defense in a real court, and had to rely on bluffing.
