There is a grocery chain store in my country and since ordering food is kind of hot this year, they started accepting orders and deliver groceries. Via an app. They have an app for this. You can't order anything through their website, you have to use your tiny surveillance rectangle for that.

That's an awful trend.

> I think he's saying in base 16 you can make a trick to check divisibility by e.g. 15 in the same way you can check divisibility by 9 in base 10.

Yeah - I misunderstood there and thought they meant divisibility by 16 or 256 not in base 16 or 256. Should've had my morning coffee first :D

Despite the long words in your sentence, this comment amounts to "you foolish binary thinker!"

This study has little predictive power and is hardly distinguishable from noise. It has a poor experimental design and is not a good example of how to do research.

It deserves a complete do-over with a better design and more subjects.
Inspired by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25170078.

This is pretty much a simple Python script and a bit of scaffolding that will create a single-page website by faking different pages using anchors.

The main advantage is that by doing it manually it can become a little bit cumbersome when you start having too many "pages" on your page, so this will let you split those pages up into separate files, the same way that you'd do it if you were writing a regular site.
Are you sure people would have saved the money versus buying a better car, house, electronics, etc..

Are you sure inflation is the reason people live a 'consumptive lifestyle'?

I'd argue it is 'cheap' access to debt - student loans, housing loans, credit cards, etc.. that has prevented people from saving.

Historically though the savings rate to today isn't much different than 60 years ago - around 10% in 1960 down to around 7% today.

Bitcoin is an asset/investment like any other, including the dollar, and all can go to zero under the right circumstances. That is why no single asset should be HODL'd in spite of others, diversify.

How Grand Juries work is up to the states. They vary a lot. Even how regular juries work is up to the states eg: Oregon doesn't require unanimous verdict. I am sure you can dig into 1st amendment and find differences across the states. I am sure states have laws on how and where you can petition.
Most of the games I see now are more technically impressive, sure. Hell I remember years ago trying to find a decent client side first person shooter without much success.

So, to put it more simply, you're saying that this study should increase his confidence in psilocybin as a miracle cure for migraines from 0% to what? 0.1%? Whatever that updated degree of confidence is, it's very small. It's safe to ignore this study.

OC isn't saying this is unreasonable research. He's saying it's not attention worthy due to low statistical power.
Indeed. I think this wasn’t a matter of Apple or the employee paying a bribe, but of the employee receiving one in exchange for stealing hardware from Apple.

I read the story as:

- Head of security team contacts police to get concealed carrying permits for his employees

- Police officer says “if Apple gives us 200 iPads, that can be arranged. On top of that, you’ll get $X”.

- Head of security team agrees, signs of for the Apple hardware, and receives a bribe.

If so, Apple was the only one paying, but the company probably wouldn’t have known about that (possibly, multiple employees would)

If this were the police asking for iPads in exchange for permits, I would call it extortion, not bribery.

Yeah. The training I've taken has been in the context of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act but it's made clear that even if certain practices are considered business as usual in some places, they're absolutely off-limits. Even if this was ostensibly in the context of what they believed was needed to do their job, Apple (properly) does not have their back--and hopefully did not encourage this in any way.
Yep. At this point we shouldn't be thinking of a migraine as a singular thing. Sure, singular symptoms, but there are so many different varied causes and conditions that it can not be a single illness.

Sometimes when migraine medicine does not work for me, it's because it's a headache not a migraine. I have some over the counter "migraine strength pain killer" pills which are acetaminophen, asprin, and caffeine, which works most times the migraine medicine does nothing.
I don't have infinite resources to care with.

Even if everyone is willing to spend an extra $100, a duopoly can ignore them and lose no money. That's not enough money to bootstrap a competitor desktop/laptop CPU.
It's always a bribe. In places without a fully-functional rule of law, it may also be the necessary payment (i.e., the payment of bribes may be expected to conduct business or get through a checkpoint or whatever), but it's still a bribe.

It's actually pretty common for bribes to be requested by the official - the first answer at https://www.quora.com/What-should-I-do-if-the-customs-office... has a description of how this sort of thing usually works.

It was the intent of that line and I totally agree with your comment.

C is definitely not the right tool for every job. And in fact, I don't write that much C for that reason, the cognitive load of tracking every bit of memory is high and not always justified.

I wouldn't put C and "modern" C++ in the same class though. They are actually very different from a memory management perspective.

You can write C++ like you write C, there are plenty of valid use cases for that. However, the "standard" way of doing C++ now implies things like containers, RAII and smart pointers. It means objects get allocated and de-allocated automatically, dangling pointers and buffer overflows are less likely, but it has a cost in terms of performance and control. Another tool for another job.
That is also true for religious groups.

I have no opinion what is the right approach, I merely presented both sides of the argument.

To elaborate on the why not:

The problem is rarely the intent of affirmative action .it is in the execution, same problems with big / small government , and the idea behind UBI or give cash instead of subsidy is sometimes bettee.

I grew up in a country where affirmative action is codified in the law and about 50 % of job openings, promotions university seats are reserved and has been for the last 70 years. Was it and still is there need for it ? Yes absolutely,

however the efficiency of allocation is a challenge , some groups who needed it 70 years back don't really need it anymore , however it is political suicide to even propose a reduction or a reallocation to reflect today's problems.

It doesn't mean we should not do anything, however to ignore the misalignment of incentives inefficiency of allocation and stickyness of any action is not good either.

...And ironically, OP was falling into the exact same hysteria machine that his/her friends have fallen into.

OP was so eager to regurgitate the popular news narrative that Facebook is ruining the world, he failed to see that in this particular case, Facebook is being banned over online leaks of documents proving government corruption with Covid-19 funds.

The government in this case isn't doing this because they want to protect people. They're doing this because they want to freely steal money without public scrutiny on social media.
I don't know if it's just a bribe either--who knows what they did to those iPads, I'm sure information from the police could be used for political gain.

I've gone through various "International Training" sessions at my company and one of the things they teach is that if a foreign official says something like, "hmmm... your papers are invalid, but I can help you out for $100" or similar, you should pay and immediately report (and expense) it on return. I know one coworker who went through this traveling through a small country.
> User experience is everything

It's very important, but it's not "everything".

> and without a good profitable business model FOSS can't afford the massive investment of time and effort required to bring a competitive user experience.

By that logic, most FOSS should not have existed at all.

> Making stuff work is only maybe 20% of the work required to build a product... sometimes less.

That's often true. It's certainly true for some of the software projects I maintain.

> Commercial closed source and SaaS vendors have the resources to leave FOSS and open ecosystems in the dust in terms of features and user experience

That's not possible even with infinite resources, because FOSS software is sometimes great, often good, and also often the only thing available.

> this study should increase his confidence in psilocybin as a miracle cure for migraines from 0% to what? 0.1%?

Had I ever thought about this question before, I would have started out at higher than 0% because I think a lot of migraines have psychiatric/psychological causes, which psilocybin can help with, I think.

So maybe an increase from
~10 to ~11 percent confidence in this hypothesis, for me.

Your company trained you to pay bribes? That sounds...unusual, and not at all lawful (according to US law, if you are based in the US).
But you don't need it to be concealed at that point right? Non concealed license is not hard to get in CA (I beleive).

Edit: Reading up, you can only transport firearms in CA loaded if you have CCW. And loaded weapons is kind of needed to protect VIPs.
You don’t, only for free text type searches. A majority of my searches are other !foo searches, like !w Napoleon to find wiki info on the topic, same for YouTube, Python docs, different dictionaries and thesauruses. You learn to use these, just like you learn to use any other tool.

There are plenty of extenuating circumstances. For example, if you were a spouse of a corrupt law enforcement officer who's already facing domestic violence, would it be racketeering if you did not report your spouse's conduct? I am willing to bet it wouldn't (you have a credible fear of being assaulted, or worse yet, losing your life if you did so).

This is why things like anonymous tip lines and whistleblower laws exist. You are encouraged, in general, to report misconduct. But there are very specific situations where it's illegal to not report misconduct.
There was a time when reporting malfeasance to the federal authorities was the obvious right thing to do.

Now it is clear that reporting criminal acts to eg. the FBI is very risky; if the officer is politically aligned to the politically and societaly dominant party, and you are not, you're toast.
Hidden carry is never essential for security teams. It is about looks. They dont want the guns appearing in potential photos of Apple events. The guards can carry guns openly just like every single street cop.
Only if you insist on carrying it on your person. Otherwise you can carry a weapon, unloaded, in a locked case, in the trunk without a permit.
Will this be virtualisable so multiple VMs sharing a host will see separate, independent devices?

On desktops and laptops, will this device have a hardwired user-presence sensor, like Yubikeys do?

Would it be performance-oriented enough to perform disk encryption? What about memory encryption?

Thanks goodness (and Darwin) that there was NOT a mass shooting at Apple Park headquarters. I hope the employees that secured these weapons illegally are let go.
The court will take into account more than just the lack of the landlord's signature on an electronic document. They will look at the intention between you two, as well as any correspondence between you and the landlord's agents.

A contract does not have to be written to exist, although it certainly helps. An oral agreement that you'll continue in the lease and will treat the document as a formality would suffice.

There will be evidence you will be able to adduce in your favour beyond this signature service.

Furthermore, there are strict rules around eviction; the landlord can't immediately evict even when you're not on an AST.

Having weapons for your security officers is quite essential, especially for a company as high profile as Apple.
> It's not marginal at all at the same price point

This review appears to be comparing a dual core Intel i3 to the 4+4 core M1, which are only the same price because Apple doesn't sell any laptops for less than $999 even when they're a dual core Intel i3.

We are talking about a high-ranking Apple executive who needed concealed carry permits. This guy literally runs a private global army. Let's not pretend he was scared for his life. He just chose to do what was easy for himself and the company (pay some pocket change) rather than take any possible legal route.
Yes Caddy is fantastic. My favorite unexpected use case has been testing Apple webhooks and sign in, which requires TLS even for local development. Caddy made this so easy! I just set up DNS for my home address, configured my firewall to serve on public port 443 and fired up Caddy. Would have been endlessly more annoying to configure TLS for local development before Caddy. The config file for this is literally 3 lines:

my.public.hostname {

reverse_proxy localhost:3000

}
In public, yes, but presumably that doesn’t apply to security guards on Apple property.

What should happen is the company also contributes libraries back to the community, although Nintendo doesn't seem to https://github.com/Nintendo. The reason that the internet is as big as it is and as accessible to small and scrappy development teams is because of open source.

It worries me that the local sheriff thought he could extort bribes from a multinational company and get away with it. And Apple is very much top of the list.

Of course the cops are corrupt, but this degree of corruption is something you'd have thought would happen only in Brazil. It's either more common than we know or this individual is unusually stupid.
It also fails at a more practical sense too - "The freedom to swing your arm stops at my face." People "choosing" to not wear a mask and to go to restaurants where the staff can't similarly "choose" to not be there is just subjecting everyone else to infection. For its other merits, libertarianism absolutely fails in a pandemic when the only possible response is collective action. Americans have such a limited definition of freedom it's almost comical.
