Sure is! On my iCloud account, Apple has my address, my location, the location of all of my devices, my Apple Card is tied directly to purchases, and much more!

Did you know iMessage specifically even used to be linked directly to Facebook's evil social graph?

Citation? I would bet a large amount of money that Apple is trying to increase engagement. Why do you think they make products like memoji or features like pinned threads?

Did you know the App Store has a recommendation system to suggest apps to you? It's based on the other apps that you purchase and possibly other signals that I'm not aware of. Apple, of course, gets its 30% cut of that.
Honestly I think most of the OOP world simply doesn’t “get” interfaces/protocols/contracts/etc. Sure, there’s polymorphism (but it’s typically inheritance-based) and inversion of control (but it’s typically used for testing). But like you said, cargo cult.

It’s hard (okay it’s not hard, it takes study and practice) to know what the “right” abstractions are, and it doesn’t produce IDE solutions (unless you’re working from a strong theoretical foundation).

It certainly doesn’t help when the type system doesn’t help. Lots of great abstractions are available when you can derive and infer meaningful types and derivatives at the end interface without a lot of fuss. It doesn’t just improve DX for library and product devs, it also improves design instincts.

A more functional style often fares better in my experience. Functions just accept “some data” and return “some other data”. Even without Haskelly algebraic data types, “some data” in a function that isn’t explicitly tied to a concrete type is a good prompt to think about the kinds of things that are common or disparate about the data and how to handle them.

It doesn’t necessarily lead to fantastic patterns. Most functional-style-but-idiomatic TS is not as well designed as equivalent code in an ML, error handling can be hell. But at least in my experience it has better outcomes than the OOP equivalent.

So is the UK, last time I checked they're not doing so hot either. You can add this kind of argumentation to the list of ailments. Geographic or some other sort of fatalism as an excuse for what is social failure.

Where you're located when a disease hits gives you either an advantage or a disadvantage, fair enough. But it doesn't explain away repeated and continuous inability to act. If NZ had acted like the UK, they'd look just the same. Once you've got community spread the virus doesn't care if you're on an island.

But we're not speculating about what would happen if Apple did that explicitly.

We're trying to understand why did the existing M1 Mini perform worse in some of those tests than the M1 Air did, while there is no known reason for it. Some speculate that they inexplicitly sell subpar/low freq chips, which would mean that they were selling an official 7-core, an official 8-core and a faster but otherwise non-advertised version of 8-core. And on top of that, the latter would be installed in Mac Air that has the worst (passive) cooling solution from all current M1 offerings...

That doesn't make sense on any level and is just something Apple could not do and successfully hide from everyone, especially that they already have an explicit binning process.
If you think your right to virus-free air trumps the rights of others, you’re in for a rude awakening.

Funny how similar it sounds to the argument for “restricting carbon emissions”, another thing that people naturally exhale.

> "we should re-evaluate people in a race-neutral manner"

Cough, no. This is where I know that's not even a rough paraphrasing because racially-neutral or sex-neutral hiring practices are not okay these days. They lead to a meritocracy and that's also not okay. That's how we got where we are. In fact, in hiring now resumes more often have pictures and HR tells us that people are intersectional and to try to hire them. They try to be subtle but they fail. (They don't tell us what intersections.) All interviewers are given the racial statistics and we're told that it's a very serious company priority.

> if a company has had racially-biased hiring and promotion processes, there are unqualified people who benefited from the bias just as much as there are qualified people who lost out because of it

This only stands to reason if the company had racially-biased hiring policies.

Instead big SV companies seem to reflect the later years of tech fields in school. And if we look at sex, not race, we can see that the gender-equality paradox from scandinavian schools suggests that not all groups may be equally interested in all things. Perhaps this is society telling those groups not to be, or natural consequences of their upbringing in different areas and circumstances.

We should definitely try to stamp out any racism we find, but let's not cry wolf and label everything racist. Let's actually try to make sure first.

Immune Sensing Mech_ That Discriminate Self from Altered Self,Foreign Nucleic A
I have gout and when it flares up it is the worst. I am in serious foot pain for anywhere from a week to a month or longer. Currently I'm dealing with a buildup of gouty tophi on my heel that has been there for a few years and finally surfacing and causing real issues. I thought it was just a callous from walking with flip flops for too long or something, but nope, just more gout coming around to ruin my days.

It is very depressing that, on top of the pain, I feel like I'm constantly making excuses why I can't do things with my family. Often times I will "power through it" and just make things worse.

Nowadays I am quick to get on my crutches and keep my foot elevated at any hint of a flare up.

I did not know of Eric but can certainly understand taking too much Tylenol for foot pain.
> Even where you can show statistically significant between-group differences, they are almost certain to be swamped by variability between individuals. Example: Women are, on average, slightly older than men (because of higher life expectancy). The p-value here is as close to zero as you'll get in the real world.

> But, given two randomly selected people, one male and one female, knowing the above is close to useless! The probability of the woman being older differs from 0.5 by no more than a fraction of a percentage point.

True, but sometimes it is the edges of the distribution that are really interesting, and there small differences in the mean can have a big impact.

For instance, what is the male/female ratio in nursing homes, or among people older than 100? I don't know, but I'm willing to bet that it's a noticeable difference.

Similarly true with the difference between male/female aggression as it pertains to the prison population.

If you don't capture the value you create, you don't become staggeringly wealthy.

If you capture value you don't create, you become staggeringly wealthy.

Note that I am not claiming that value isn't being created at all in that second scenario, just that the entity capturing the value isn't creating it.

If you capture value while destroying some, the picture gets more complicated, as it depends on the nature of the feedback loops involved. It isn't too hard to see examples in the wild of organizations pursuing strategies aimed at getting a larger slice of the pie, or at getting slices of more pies, rather than strategies that are aimed at getting the size or number of pies to grow overall.
But don't you realize it's completely circular? You have the right to have me not have the right to infect you. But don't I also have the right to have you not have the right to have me not have the right to infect you? The point is. How much do we want to limit _individual_ freedom in order to achieve community/global safety. This is not a black/white question with a right/wrong answer. As much as you want it to be a cut-and-dried issue - "you're rights end where mine begin", etc. - it is not. It is trivial to disassemble any argument along those lines. At the end of the day - it's all about freedom vs safety. It's fine if you don't draw your line in the same place. But trying to imply/suggest that your position is somehow objectively more right/true is ridiculous.
Ooh...I missed that.

If a one way trip takes X amount of fuel and supplies (let's assume it is the same for an outgoing one way trip and an incoming one way trip, for simplicity), then a two way trip has to carry an extra X outgoing to use for the return trip.

Since X is going to be many times the mass of the ship and crew and non-consumables, having an extra X as cargo massively ups the fuel requirements for the outgoing trip.

>Civil Asset Forfeiture is one of the greatest constitutional crises of the modern era United States.

Civil Asset Forfeiture (CAF) goes back to 17th century Britain[0], and such laws were first enacted and ruled constitutional from the very beginnings of the United States.

You won't get any argument from me that CAF is a serious issue that needs to be addressed, but the idea that it's somehow a recent development doesn't comport with reality.

>It's existence is evidence that the federal government plans to continue furthering its encroachment on civil liberties and I truly hope that the people can find a way to get rid of it.

While the Federal government certainly engages in CAF, they took action[1] in 2015 to reduce (woefully inadequately, but action nonetheless) the incentive of state and local law "enforcement" to engage in CAF.

As such, while I agree in general (CAF is antithetical to liberty, is routinely abused and should almost never be used), your characterization of the history and main offenders/benefactors is flat wrong.

It's states and localities that engage in this sort of abuse much more frequently (and much more capriciously) than the Federal government.

OpenID Connect, like others mention, but there's more in life, than only SSO? Organizations also want to automatically deactivate of user accounts?

There's something called SCIM, "System for Cross-domain Identity Management", that does this, and which you can use together with OpenID Connect (OIDC).

SCIM can automatically deactivate a user account, if the person leaves the organization or moves to a different department. And can auto add and remove him/her to/from various user groups.

But with SAML, managers / admins still need to micro manage the user accounts, e.g. place the user in the correct group, if s/he gets a new job role. SAML only syncs user accounts upon login, from what I've understood. (So if the user stays logged in, then, with SAML, his/her account permissions can get out-of-date?)

SCIM: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/app-...

Azure AD uses this, and Okta, OneLogin, Github and some others too I suppose.

If anyone has tried SCIM it'd be interesting to hear what you think about it? (I've just read about it)
I think the 6502 was less 'general purpose' than the Z80 (which I've seen huge banks of in Honeywell FEP's, years ago, f.e.).

I imagine they're similarly sought-after now, though. I've never played with the Z80, so I don't know if it offers easier integration with arduino / RPi and other basic systems now.

FWIW I see they're available on local ebay for few dollars:

It also reminds me of an image from early 2010s about the supposed progression of iPhones - something with a similar aspect ratio was an intermediate stage before turning into a full sized mat, and then Steve Jobs' head.
For context, there was a recent case on civil orfeiture in the Supreme Court (Timbs v Indiana 2019), but it was on whether or not the Eighth Amendment was incorporated (i.e., required to be upheld by the states and not just the federal government).

Not sure why the downvote! Yeah, I've noticed whole gobs of important subjects effectively ignored by politicians. There are really big issues around data rights and privacy that get no focus. The thing that gets me is that this is deeply connected to our nations cyberwarfighting capability, including our ability to control our stuff.

If your whole society is riddled through with ignorance, delusional thinking, lazy consumerism, and privacy holes, eventually an adversary will put together enough information to blackmail someone powerful into putting their finger on the scale, just a little bit. The more this happens, the more corrupt the system becomes, and the more cynical the population. The adversary has won.

No, we need defense-in-depth, and for that we need citizens willing to learn more about computers in general. Now would be a great time to start a National Guard but for cyberwarfare, and open to anyone with a browser.
