I left home when I started university and never went back. It was awesome to have the freedom and I think most young people cherish that moment.

I love my family and after my father died my mother and I were forced to live with my grandparents. It wasn't terrible, but there are generational conflicts that you have to consider. That can get exhausting and my mother was relieved when we got our own apartment even if she loves her parents. We are still near each other and there is no drama in my family. But I don't think anyone of us would like to share a house again.

I don't like the popular cry for abolition of the nuclear family in favor of some comittment-less commune. But the other model to live within a family clan isn't attractive either. And you can still handle it as you like, because nobody is forcing you in either direction.
We've barely been able to get people to stop referring to all Android devices as "Droids". The average person doesn't even know about alternate app stores, yet alone have the will to seek them out, install them, search for an app, and then pay for it (likely having to enter payment info this time). You might as well tell developers to release their apps on the dark web.

I'm sure you can release niche apps on these stores, but the general market isn't moving away from the Play Store any time soon, and that's where the money is.
The Only Proven Method for Success – Luck [Based on Daniel Kahneman Research]
I love the twitter metrics how paying off all student debt would suddenly creat jobs, people would be all middle class, and gov't taxation would soar. What these 1st semester economics majors forget is suddenly you'd have an influx of people seeking degrees. Employers know that so they'll either A. Decrease wages, or B. Increase the requirements/duties because of heavy competition.

Another thing, wiping out debt just doesn't magically make jobs. People who make more than you but don't have enough time to do something do. Somehow I fail to see how a few noisy self entitled afflueza stricken college kids who wanted a degree it bullshitology now deserve a kickback because they were dumb and didn't make a right choice in life. While I agree with another commenter, banks should be able to feel the sting of the default as well as the federal gov't in terms of backed student loans.

Not only would college degrees not be required for many jobs simply due to the lack of them in general, but students wouldn't waste their time with nanny state experience of college anyway. Nor would they have absurd debt with a worthless degree. And colleges are just as complacent. They market this stuff to be "rewarding" and whatnot but lie through their teeth about the sheer economics about it.

> I don't do home banking on my xbox.

You probably could do this, as the console includes the Edge browser, including a Private Browsing feature. (At least, the Xbox One includes a pre-Chromium version of Edge, I'm not sure about the new Series consoles.) It doesn't strike me as a particularly bad idea, other than in terms of the user experience, likely with no support for keyboard and mouse.
You could try and see if you are allowed to spend the money on hours to work on a side project. If there's something you really feel like doing, but never get time to do, you could maybe spend a week working on that. Because it's a passion project it'll probably bring you more than any class can do.
If choosing to certify the more proportionately anomalous Livonia and not Detroit, disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of Black voters while accepting White voters, is not a form of racism, I don’t know what is. I don’t throw the word around lightly, but it is the right one in this context. I realize you’re unlikely to agree.

And, instead of providing APIs to help make those apps less sketchy... Apple decided it would be easier to just ban them.

You're making the mistake of assuming that the only purpose of IQ data is to represent negative frequencies after downconversion. This is not true. The IQ representation is extremely useful for certain kinds of processing, even if you're working in baseband. There are plenty of reasons to take a real baseband signal, run it through a Hilbert transform to get a Q, and process it as IQ data.

It just so happens that audio DSP algorithms happen to almost never care about those exact kinds of processing, due to the way our ears and brains work. And thus, IQ data is not used in audio. But it's not because it's baseband. It's because our ears don't care about phase relationships (which is one thing you can more easily preserve in the IQ domain) and because frequency shifts like downconversion are not useful in music since they destroy the harmonic relationships in the sound.
Well given that the vast majority of schools can and do teach it effectively, the idea that it can't be done seems excessively fatalist.

But if we do accept that it's just too high of a bar to ask schools to contextualize To Kill A Mockingbird in such a way that the literal lynch mob killing a man are not presented as role models to be emulated, then shut the school down. The kids are better off at home staring at a blank wall 8 hours a day than being exposed to that level of incompetence.

Banning books to deal with teachers who can't teach is like sticking a "0 Trans Fat" sticker on an improperly stored barrel of radioactive waste - it is worse than not even addressing the problem.

Newport did not mention "agile" per se, but in writing "Consider instead a system that externalizes work. Following the lead of software developers ..." he is clearly referencing that set of systems for organizing work. Agile, in the way that Newport is writing, is a way to shift autonomy and accountability to teams. The team collectively owns the mission articulated by management. Bosses are in the background. The team is an intermediary between bosses and individuals and acts as both a smart way of allocating work committments and throttling device on inbound work requests. Merlin Mann is a straw man for a limiting philopsophy of "doing it all"; systems that externalize work represent a philosophy working deliberately. The unstated assumption is that organizations will perform better this way too.

I think the consenus here is that working deliberately and concentrating deeply are ideal ways to work. That is not a new idea to the New Yorker audience either. I think of that what is different in this time of the Big Weirdness is that are we are focused on adjusting tactically and situationally, and that we lose sight of the norms that are sustaining and strategically valuable. What's happening is what's always happened - we're adapting, some organizations faster and better than others. With all that said, turning off most of your feeds for most of the time still seems like a good idea to me.

The greatest challenge when considering colors and accessibility is dealing with more than 2 colors. I wrote a tool to solve for all comparisons in a color scheme: https://github.com/prettydiff/colorContrast

In every real world scenario there will be a multitude of colors present that impact accessibility. It is almost never so simple as a single text color on a single background color.
A seeker is someone without a legitimate reason or medical history nevertheless trying to get their hands on prescriptions for controlled substances.

It's annoying as hell, because if you make the unfortunate mistake of associating with an onverly nervous doctor and you're on a controlled substance, it can lead to a life ruining adjustment of your dosage. (Happened to me right after a job loss.)

Showing up with a 20 odd year file of history of successful treatment history on something helps, but you still have to be hyper vigilant about finding a prescriber willing to work with you without being flaky. Yoy can't even think of moving or long term visitation somewhere unless you're made of enough money to do some recon work ahead of time to find a doc at a new location, or return wherever your old one is for the interim to top up fill your prescriptions.

As a person with a valid medical justification, I'm basically already in a gilded prison created by DEA where I have to essentially mother-may-I either the insurance company or physician anytime I want or need to relocate for more than 30 days.

And God help you with tolerance built up. Then you're adding a new monthly family member unless you figure out how to nutritionally supplement for your particular body chem to get around it.

I will shed no tears over massive fefunding of DEA or restriction of their Draconian scope, but I have the feeling I'll never see it, because there is too much self-destructive potential and black market incentuve for illegal trade to ever become small enough without an organization putting pressure on it. That may be some level of Stockholm Syndrome talking though, as I'm not sure I don't just tell myself that to keep myself from wasting my time shouting into the wind.
> I just read that Pfizer reports its vaccine as 95% effective, even though pharmaceutical originally reported its vaccine as 90% effective

I think, "originally" is not the right term. "Pfizer’s Early Data Shows Vaccine Is More Than 90% Effective".

Now more data is in, and it is indeed more than 90% effective, more like 95%.

They already have sold the vaccine, and it won't be sold over the counter. I don't see any gain in telling to have 93%, 95% or 98% efficacy, if you don't have it.
I agree, it's highly unlikely they would give away their competitive edge. A lot of their speed-ups may even come directly from dedicated silicon anyway, and that would likely be under lock-and-key for quite some time (until hackers of the future reverse engineer the M1).
Apple Slashes App Store Fees to 15% for Smaller Developers
>Is the better version of this take "I won't fly Boeing anymore"?

I'd love not to, but that basically means not flying domestically anymore ever, only directly out of the US, and even then it may still be Boeing.
The fundamental reason these planes have killed so many people is because of structural problems at boeing and the FAA. Technical band-aids have fixed none of the factors that caused such an unconscionably unsafe aircraft to be produced and rammed through certification in the first place. Engineers are still taking a back seat to MBAs on critical design and safety decisions. Every step of the way in this saga Boeing has shown itself to be a bad faith actor unworthy of the public's trust. They know they are too big to fail, and are cynically exploiting their position.

Johnathan Blow had an interesting view on it [1], he talks about the idea of the Cell being you somehow refactor your game to be parallelized across the SPEs. But the whole point of a game is that you're simulating a cohesive little world, and anything that is easily separable from the global view of the world is probably not core to the gameplay.

One example is sound effects, if you're generating sound effects, you can't do a good job of that without the context of the environment and what is making the noise, so you necessarily have very deep data dependencies.

TL;DR - Yes, but after few years. And will be indirect.

So - before M1 announce ARM market was reserved for battery devices when huge limitation is power for them. Performance was important, but most important is power consumption.

There was also some niche server-side ARM like Marvell ThunderX, Qualcomm Centriq or Amazon Graviton.

Actually Apple acquire P.A. Semi company in 2008 and before that they're known for PWRficient processors.

Now M1 release shock whole industry.

First PC manufacturers like Dell or HP - but for now they're tied with vendors as Intel and Microsoft.
Second Cloud operators like Digital Ocean and Google - only Amazon have their own ARM CPU.
Third OS vendors like Microsoft - they're having a Windows RT in past and need to revive it ASAP.
Forth are CPU vendors like Intel, AMD that providing x86 and Broadcom, Qualcomm that are ARM - because first can seen how their x86 product line is outperform from ARM products. And other can seen how even their top ARM products are outperform from niche player as Apple.

In result - expect shortly a HUGE investments in post-x86 for different chips architectures and as result RPi will be improvement. But not today!

They're only "the only authorized place to sell your goods _inside_ an iOS device".

Which is different - if we really want to compare apples to apples.

Clinical trials like this are subject to an enormous number of regulatory and statistical controls, particularly if they're in the public spotlight as much as this one is. It's unlikely the true effectiveness of the vaccine will be very different from what they're reporting here.
> “Living with parents” is a wildly different experience if you have enough space.

> My parents live about a mile away.

Living with parents is indeed great especially when you're not actually living with them. You live alone. In-laws in another house, parents a mile away.

Living with family means sharing the actual facilities of the house not just technically being on the same property, or in a house where you never have to cross paths. Having parents in another house on the same property doesn't mean "living together" more than a neighbor on the other side of a 30cm wall is living with you.
Not flying at all for the next 6-12 months seems reasonable too, in light of the ongoing pandemic.
I think that other laptop and desktop manufactures will bring their own ARM-bases offers in a 2-3 years. Intel is not yet doomed, but this will be a harsh blow for them.

While the solution may be valuable, there's more value in reading the work to get there. Rarely is the value a decision, inasmuch as the path to the decision. By first declaring a solution to a problem, you're priming the other individual. Depending on their personality you're priming them to be for, or against your decision.

By articulating the reasons, methods, and considerations that went into a decision, you're slowly and softly building an argument. Individuals are less likely to have an instinctive reaction to something this way. At the very least, it's proven (yes, as in measured) to be the case here.
> they'd never reduce their app store cut, for anyone, ever.

Why not 50%? 75%? 100%? 150%?

It could also be that they are seeking the optimal rate of return, balancing developer incentives, bringing in new developers, etc.

I think many factors play into the decision, including lawsuits and public scrutiny.

I think it will be really interesting to watch and see if google mirrors the pricing.
They crashed because they made an unstable airframe and tried to make up for it with sensors and software. They've presumably improved the sensors and software, along with training, but the airframe is the same.

I am not sure what you said makes any sense...

The food product producer is not selling to me directly, they sell to the store, who then sells to me.

Apple is not selling me the app, they are very clear about this, my relationship is with the App Developer, they are just a "payment processor"

So comparing the App Store to traditional retail store is no where near a proper analogy

>Even you seem to agree that Iran suspended their nuclear weapons program for a decade and sanctions didn't improve

>four shows nothing

We have very different definitions to 'nuclear weapons program'. My definition includes creating massive stockpiles of enriched Uranium, especially for countries with acknowledge weaponization programs and no other reasonable motive.

According to your definition, if someone built an empty bomb, set it aside, and started working on creating some explosives that someone 'suspended the bomb program'. Perhaps the explosives are just for fireworks! Right.

>Two ignores Iran's status in OPEC

That only strengthens my point. OPEC gives a maximum export quota which most states are easily capable of exceeding. Might as well use it for internal purposes given the marginal price of extra production is zero.

>Disliking the imperialist policies of a state that regularly bombs you makes sense.

It's usually Iran which inefficiently does the 'regular bombing'. It's Iran that supplied EFPs to insurgents during Iraq war, and whose sellswords fire rockets at the Green Zone regularly. A rocket killed an Iraqi child just yesterday.
That's a good start, then they need to send it into the ocean.

The negligence of that group of individuals led to the deaths of over 300 people.
Median salary globally is around USD $10k, so for remote work presumably everyone's salaries should be similar. Given developers are high skilled and in demand, maybe they should be paid 3x the global median so $30k per year.
