Ya no I’ve always thought a little bit different since I was a kid. Then I got locked up for a few years and I had those years to think about the world for what it true you is. But you just got to accept it. Which is also the variable that should be set for. Everything is going to continue moving on as long as time itself lasts. So that veriable is adaptivity. Say I wanted to do as you say and build a utopia. A utopia is something that you perseve as “your” perfect world
But my question I guess is. Would there be control over you in your utopia? Then why would you put it there in the first place. I mean that as control in a way how cops control the streets. Gangsters and drugs. As I said I think very differently and if you read it several times and still don’t get it:),,, but from there. I have my adaptive variable. And now comes my constant, manipulation. And persuasion. You may think but that’s wrong..... well that’s true but then again that’s how cops and lawyers stay in control. So my theory I wrote a while back is the stack theory;) I wrote it idk I named it so yeah....

It’s all about the people around you to start with. You have to trust the first group to the fullest to have your back 100% . And I know I’m getting off the path of technology. But idk if you ever were younger not knowing anything about bloods and crips and there is always that one kid that’s like . Yeah the rulers of each gang is the same guy, or best friends.. well same is true to any concept. There cannot be peace without chaos I hear sometimes.. well actually that’s a little true in stack theory. Because...to have your utopia you have to be willing to do anything to get it. In stackz theory you structure your business like your adaptive variable.. which is the goal in which your company heads. But has to be fluently. For example how a tree trimming service could sell their wood to a lumber mill. So keep that tree service . The profit. Open up a lumber mill and continue to “stack” with the same normal responsibilities or average employees. You hire as you expand. Move as one organism. Starting off with the first stack.

And this isn't a fair characterization of how ads work. They don't magically change people's minds and stop people from forming their own conclusions. It doesn't mean the vote was "tricked" or "bought. Try spending $200MM on a nonsense bill and see how much support you can actually buy.

Like any endeavor, ads & marketing can be dishonest. If you actually thought any part of Uber's campaign was dishonest, I encourage you to say what you mean rather than cast vague aspersions.
Yes, 100%. In the parent's example the system should be fixed so that no one can push directly to prod. Failing that, some sort of standardized checklist/process should be put in place. That's true regardless of who personally pushed something they shouldn't, and would be true even if no one ever made that "mistake."
The number I saw thrown around online was that it'd cost $500m/year, so if you consider their campaigning to be an investment it'll definitely pay off and reduce their unprofitability.

Progressives are widely known for their enthusiastic use of forcing people into public apologies for perceived crimes against the faith or for not acquiescing to unreasonable demands which can then be framed as a perceived wrong. I think a lot of the kickback against apologising that we're seeing is coming from the numerous public examples of this tactic and the follow-up where any good-faith apology will be used to make a further example of the heretic.

Well said. It's just a big witch hunt. If you don't apologize, you're in the wrong; if you do apologize, clearly you are a bad person because you were in the wrong, and the onus is now on you to demonstrate you're no longer that "bad" person. It's guilty until proven innocent and either way you lose.

Not to mention how many of these witch hunters have never said or done anything wrong themselves, ever? If you're a saint, then sure, by all means call out people for their wrong doings. But I have a hunch that 99% of progressives would be EXTREMELY uncomfortable if someone said they were going to pull every tweet, post, interview, statement, etc that they'd ever made and scrutinize them for harmful statements.

Finally, it's completely biased and partisan. The most famous example is Alyssa Milano, who really brought the Me Too movement to the spotlight, defending Joe Biden because he was "a good man". If you're not their friend, you don't get the same benefit of the doubt. The hypocrisy is unbearable.
You're highlighting the feedback mechanism that this disease uses to maintain itself. The spiral of doom.

Yeah, the emphasis was on a public mistake and thus a public (external) reaction.

A few years ago there was talk of the Cairo API (not necessarily the Cairo library implementation of that API) being adopted as part of a C language standard.

That seems not to have happened. Consequently, if you program in C or in a language that depends on C libraries to get stuff done, there's still no go-to library/API for 2D drawing.

Also, the scope of "2d graphics" is not fixed either. Does it include a scene graph or not?

The problem with authoritarianism is transfer of power.

When installing Windows, I had to unplug the ethernet during a particular setup screen to avoid having every login checked against my cloud account. It put Candy Crush and Farmville ads in my start menu without consent. I remember having to spend effort to get Cortana to go away and (maybe) not send my searches to the cloud.

In MacOS, we've recently seen: pushy siri, sending search results to the cloud, and yesterday the OCSP failure made it obvious they were sending logs of every app launch to the cloud :/ . It's the same direction, even if they aren't yet quite as lost as Microsoft.
Ask HN: How to Block Apple's Spyware on BigSur?
With BigSur, Apple is getting a hash of every executable you run, and it's changing the way kernel extensions work and VPNs work to prevent blocks from happening.

Immediately, I think the quick answer is to block outgoing requests to apple's server using an external firewall, but how does one identify which requests are carrying the spyware?

On the Mac system, how can we remove the spyware functionality?
I am the last person to ask about the merits of Ma's argument. I'm firmly in the castles in the sky camp, that all finance is intrinsically suspect, and that all the belligerents retcon their dogma as needed (went up because I'm a genius, went down due to unforeseen circumstances completely beyond my control).

Like I tried to say, poorly, I'm just surprised Ma spoke up, and can only guess why.

Not all the mistakes are the same, no? I assume the focus here is factual inaccuracy, and the proximal cause of that is not following a rigorous sourcing and fact checking process. But the advice here also relates to mistakes of interaction - unsuccessful collaborations on a page, or non collegial communication. Hurting someone's feelings is different than a reporting error. Apologize or correct, right? Are there more flavors of mistake, and courses of action?
I still like having CD's of local bands. You never know when they'll come or go online, and it's a nice momento to have from "a place and time".

As a musician myself, I just last night recorded on cassette using a 1970's Magnavox personal recorder I have. I do modern recording techniques too, but for B sides or just a novelty, it is so nice to just press a button and record. No DAW, interfaces, amps. Just a cheap mic in a 1/8" port, play until you run out of tape.

In my personal experience, the U.S. military - Army in particular - firmly drills “loyalty to the Constitution, not the President” into every soldier. The top U.S. general gave a speech to that effect earlier this week. You can draw your own conclusions as to the timing of his remarks:

>” We are unique among militaries. We do not take an oath to a king or a queen, a tyrant or a dictator. We do not take an oath to an individual. No, we do not take an oath to a country, a tribe or religion. We take an oath to the Constitution. And every soldier that is represented in this museum, every sailor, airman, Marine, Coast Guardsman, each of us will protect and defend that document, regardless of personal price," Milley said during remarks at the opening of the US Army's museum.

> Which media are we talking about? There have always been left, neutral, and right-leaning media, but in the last four years the neutral media was painted as being biased against the president because they reported the facts. The facts, they're very unflattering. The president has brought the pro wrestling 'heel' character into national politics and reporting on that reality is not bias.

I think it's more the way they are playing both sides. The best example being the New York Times — a well-beaten, but still-living horse. They get painted as biased for reporting the facts about Trump, but simultaneously they engage in palace intrigue journalism that softens the administration's image and run it well ahead of page 6. That's not neutrality, it's duplicity.
That's almost backwards from my understanding of those terms, but oh well ....
Life is full of situations where no one acted unreasonably but something undesirable still happened. It's especially common for no one to see a potential problem, and thus for no one to be assigned the responsibility of dealing with that problem. If you have any stake in the overall success of the team, it doesn't matter whose fault something is, you just want the problem fixed.
How about a software dependency.
So you're assuming that the marketing has zero effect on the revenue. If that's the case why not cut it to zero? While you're at it you could probably sue the marketing department for defrauding the company. /s

Can you please elaborate, because, in the case of Uber/Lyft, it's simple, if you force when drivers go, they can't refuse clients, etc. Then you are not "just" a platform to connect driver and people looking for a ride. If you are imposing rules, other than local regulations, to the drivers, you are an employer, and you should follow labour law.

If you use Stripe API for examples, if you follow the law, and their T&C of services, they can't force you to sell to some clients, etc.
> If governments enforced COVID restrictions as well as they enforce speeding and DUIs, we wouldn't have to rely on people being smart and considerate.

odd comparison to make. I find that in the midatlantic US, speeding and DUI are not enforced very consistently. with speeding, there seem to be only a couple days of the month (usually the last few days) where a bunch of cops are out with radar/lidar pulling people over. with DUI, you are quite likely to get away with it if you aren't intoxicated to the point where your driving is noticeably erratic. the exception would be the few times each year where they actually have checkpoints on certain roads.

> It's the easiest thing to enforce, too. In my city alone, a single police officer with two functioning eyes could probably issue hundreds of mask violations a day. It's not like you have to search someone or go out of your way to see they aren't wearing a mask.

this seems like it could be counterproductive. for one thing, issuing a ticket is necessarily a close physical interaction. for another, what if the interaction goes south and the cop has to grapple with the offender, arrest them, and take them to jail? does this really serve the goal of preventing covid transmission?
Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known. Despite extensive vaccination and humans being the only reservoir for the virus, it has proven to be difficult to eradicate. It is very effective at spreading through the air even when there are few susceptible hosts.

Exactly. JSON is benefitting from the fact that it can ride on top of existing non-dedicated tooling in an ad hoc way. Protobuf/gRPC needs dedicated tooling designed to replace what JSON can do with cURL. But that tooling has the potential to be much better than what can be accomplished with JSON, because it can actually type-check your input (e.g. catching typo'd field names) and maybe even let you explore the schema interactively. E.g. imagine having bash tab completion for these APIs -- easy if you have the schema.
Thats exactly my thought too. Makes me wonder if it will support two monitors in clamshell mode since the mac mini supports two. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Maybe it's something they can patch in.
I own a Fit. The only time you're at or below 2000 RPM in a Fit is during cruise, deceleration, or creeping along at 15mph in school zones on flat ground. Just going up my quiet residential street with a slight grade at 20mph, I'll run it out to ~3500rpm.

Also, that torque curve isn't as relevant as it used to be -- a new Fit has a CVT, so the engine will continually operate at that peak power RPM when at WOT.

Operating on a grade will have a significant impact on that top speed. You can probably do a 65mph highway in the slow lane as long as the road doesn't have a grade and there is significant merge area.

The first gen Prius actually had this problem in San Fran. In reverse, they only use the electric motor, and it was not strong enough to go in reverse up some hills. It had a 40hp electric motor.

Apple's "universal binary" seems dubious

There is absolutely nothing even remotely dubious about universal binaries. They were used during the PPC->Intel transition and again for x86->amd64. You can create them right now.
wow deep.
> If you want to convince me about the graphics/ML capabilities, compare it to a 3090 RTX using running Vulkan/Cuda.

You can't really compare a laptop SoC with a dedicated graphics cards like the 3090 RTX. One is using a battery on a laptop and the other is plugged in to a power source with dedicated cooling.

Yes, Apple is claiming this is a better solution but that's mostly for laptops. While they did release a Mac mini, they still haven't released an Apple SoC Mac Pro or iMac. Those would be fair game for such comparison.
Thats how flat earth became a thing.
Consider that Madoff did go to prison though.

Given the level of lockdowns we've seen so far, that is minimal. Especially if the government is smart enough to simply pay the wages of people who are forced to not work (which would also give a massive boost to the economy).
One thing to note is that measles is a lot more contagious [1] than sars-cov-2 or any of the flu strains [2]. Measels is also an airborne disease [3], which is distinct from respiratory droplet transmitted diseases [4], like the sars-cov-2 virus [5]. As a result, many of the precautions that people are taking for the sars-cov-2 virus, while also effective against the flu, are not effective against measles. The measles boom in 2019 was driven by an anti-vaccine movement. The current reduction in vaccination is much larger and more widespread. I therefore don't think that we can conclude that measles cases will decrease in 2020 without data. I also wouldn't be surprised if we see an even larger measles boom when current precautions are phased out.

I think a lot of the kickback against apologising that we're seeing is coming from the numerous public examples of this tactic and the follow-up where any good-faith apology will be used to make a further example of the heretic.

This is rarely about the apology itself, but about establishing that something wrong has happened to begin with. The fact is, a lot of pretty messed up stuff routinely happens and is simply taken as a given. The apology is simply a marker that some behavior will no longer be considered acceptable. It's hardly even a measure of accountability, unless someone is so egotistical that taking responsibility is personally harmful to them.
Probably because the announced hardware is clearly entry level. The only model line that gets replaced is the MacBook Air which has been, frankly, cheap-is and underpowered for a long time.

So you have a platform that is (currently) embodied by entry level systems that appear to be noticeably faster than their predecessors. Apple has said publicly that they plan to finish this transition in 2 years. So more models are coming - and they'll have to be more performant again.

It seems pretty clear that the play here runs "Look here's our entry level, it's better than anyone else's entry level and could be comparable to midlevel from anyone else. But after taking crap for being underpowered while waiting for intel to deliver we cn now say that this is the new bar for performance at the entry level in these price brackets."
Anecdotally I'm assuming this equation must be breed-specific because I've had a number of dogs 8+ years old that did not appear to act or look very senior.
IMO talking about API design as the focus is stuck in the past. If the last 20 years has taught us nothing else it has taught us that protocols won the whole http://wiki.c2.com/?ApiVsProtocol debate. No one can argue the complete dominance of HTTP as the dominant RPC mechanism in use today. We should be talking about how we can structure new, higher level protocols on it or create new protocols to improve on it. Not how to replicate all the previous mistakes on HTTP instead of TCP.

Also large developers like Adobe, Microsoft would have had retail units months ago to help with final testing.
