Yes, I do think it is unjustified.

In your quote: "It involves restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to members of another group."

Apple is restricting people who are not black or brown from this opportunity.
No, it does. In some cases (think dictatorship) - you not only want the secret police to not read your messages - you don't want them to know at all, who are you talking to(and how often and when!).
Otherwise you might all go to jail (or worse), if they are after one contact of yours. And then you can try to feel save, that they don't know your encryption password.

If I'm paying for something I don't want to be engaged. I want to be efficient. It's incredible just how bad UIs have gotten in the last 10 years.

I use Nextcloud and there are parts of the UI that defy logic. For example, when I select a file it brings up an "Actions" menu that's hidden via a hamburger button. It has 4 options and I have about 3000px of horizontal whitespace on the same row.

TLDR; It's all hamburgers and whitespace and I don't understand why.

We're the "product" of services like advertising, but I've seen very few individuals express opinions on Google's advertising product (beyond "stop," or at best "stop tracking me"). Our opinions tend to be on services like Gmail and Drive and Reader and Hangouts. In that case, we're closer to a customer - or more accurately, we're a positive externality. Google does offer paid support for most of these services, including an account rep that you can actually talk to in person. But you have to be paying for them. Individuals who use Gmail for free are effectively just publicity for Google so they can convince large employers to pay them for Gmail.
> rather than passive-aggressively re-writing it after the fact.

At this point I would start questioning you instead:

- first: have you taken the time to read up on what passive aggressive means and how it usually plays out? IMO it is used way to often, just like micro-agressions etc.

- then: why are you so sure that he is not trying to help you?

- why would a tech lead do this silently if not to shield you?

I've written most of this elsewhere and you haven't even commented on it.

I say now is a good time to you to stop and think really carefully about the situation.

His way to handle it might not be perfect, but you might be about to bite someone who's trying to help you.

Don't do that.

I believe that species loss is inversely proportional to wealth. The poorer the country the faster its loss.

And due to advances in agricultural technology, since the Population Bomb book was published, global population has doubled while hunger has greatly diminished.

So wouldn’t the answer be more technology & wealth, not less?

Then stand up your own d@#n servers. Youve got the code. Nobody is stopping youfrom editing a config file.

The problem with a central server? Is centralizing Trust in it. A correlate problem with decentralized servers? Is establishing trust for one (or more) among the several options.

Especially when there is a protocol which "stirs the pot" of messages to throw anyone off the trail of who-is-messaging-whom? Larger, more centralized servers provide a better use-case for this.

What appears to me as partially racist formulated views should I open my mind up to?
The manufacturers are mostly run by people who were trained in "standard" corporate governance. This includes the ways to protect corporate revenue streams by suppressing (legally, of course) competition, delivering a range of products by producing the top end model and crippling it to sell at a cheaper price point, and repeatedly reducing costs to increase profits in a "race to the bottom".

Until a new set of management philosophies is adopted for teaching, a large number of companies will keep doing the same thing, because in general corporate managers have a lead time associated with them, and we won't run out of the old school ones until 20+ years after philosophies change.

This is an opportunity for anyone who can do things differently, of course.
Because none of the comments (yet) reflect the content of the article, here is a useful excerpt that should help refocus us:

> The results show that high job demands at work are strongly associated with work addiction risk but the job control level does not play the same role. The prevalence of work addiction risk is higher for active and high-strain workers than for passive and low-strain workers. These two groups of workers appeared to be more vulnerable and therefore can suffer more from the negative outcomes of work addiction risk, in terms of depression, sleep disorder, stress and other health issues.

I had a WRT1900AC for several years. It was a very nice product, with very good community support.

Official support, however, was not good in my experience. Several years later I finally bought a Ubiqui Dream Machine Pro, and absolutely love it. Kinda miffed that they suffered a breach a month after I bought it, though.
Even though I've since switched all my networking gear to Ubiquiti stuff these days, I still have fond memories of using DD-WRT on the WRT54GL. Being able to configure dynamic DNS and host a VPN server was an amazing thing when you had a handful of routers to remotely manage (parents, etc). And the replacement firmware made them so much more stable than stock. Gone were the days of the Internet dying and having to reboot the router to get it back.

I still have a few unused WRT54GL lying around that I never got around to using. Funny to think they're still selling on Amazon for the same price they were a decade ago!

In case anyone doubts my adoration for this router, take a look at https://tfvlrue.wordpress.com/2010/01/08/lego-router-wrt54gl... :)
He didn't become CEO of VMware until 2012 which is 6 years after AWS launched. Even if VMware had decided to directly go after AWS, they would have started way behind. Also, for good reasons and bad, it's unclear to me that would have been a great move. IMO, you can look to other trends they could have latched onto more quickly that would have been better fits.
I find it disturbing that the focus of the article is on the wolf culture of Huawei, and the discussion here ignores that and veers off into nonsense about Apple. I've worked with former Americans who worked for Huawei here in the US, they confirm this behavior.

Huawei also filed patents around facial identification of Uyghurs, who are of course being held in concentration camps.

But go ahead talk about R&D investment in Europe and ignore the behavior of the firm.

A mere 20 years ago Google did not exist at all. Within 5 years of its start it was extremely popular. Things happen even faster online now. If a search engine that was much better than Google came out, Google would be dropped by almost everyone within a year.

If you give the government the power to decide who a private business has to allow in, that's a power you will probably never get back. And the government is far more likely to use it in nefarious ways than a private corporation can.
If there is one thing that the pandemic should have taught us, it is that remote work and remote schooling are, in most cases, not adequate replacements for in-person. There is no doubt in my mind that we could do better, and we should, but also no doubt in my mind that there are fundamental limits on how well remote can ever get.

Also, the longer you are "remote only" (as opposed to a temporary remote session because of snowstorm or whatever), the worse the remote option becomes. Lots of things happen in person that help to strengthen teacher-student understanding, and they gradually atrophy the longer you are remote.

Plus, some of what happens at a school is education in dealing with your peers, which is even more deficient in remote mode.

That's three reasons that remote learning, while a valuable addition, is not a replacement for in person schooling, and I am way more convinced of that now than I was before the pandemic.
You can formally verify a finite state machine by simply testing all state-transitions.

You don't need to do an exhaustive check of the 2^8^15 all 15-byte combinations. You just check all state-transitions of the state machine.

Or to put it another way: you don't need to test all 2^8^15 byte combinations. You just need to check all invalid-instructions that have ONE invalid byte, to prove the attributes of the finite-state-machine.

Thinking on this more: There's a high level of self-direction required of students in a flipped classroom model, and by my experience in the US public school system, the kids who're already doing well will do just fine in a flipped (or otherwise self-directed) model, but the at-risk kids are the ones who would need more attention--just like in the classroom.

Old internet was more centralized. Your site essentially didn't exist unless AOL knew about it. There were only a few big webhosts a long time, and it was nontrivial to run your own server -- especially because a lot of ISPs banned it unless you paid a lot more every month.

So for a long time, you options were: host on one of the big services (Geocities, for example) or run your own server.

Now there are potentially millions of hosts. The centralization problem is exclusive to search, but you can still change search engines if it bothers you.
Patterns That Eventually Fail (2018)
I'm confused how that's related, the issue you're talking about is in the file manager, not GTK. I don't believe any of the primary nautilus maintainers are also primary GTK maintainers, at least not anyone in that issue. (Please correct me if I'm wrong about that)

But, since I've said this before, I'll say it again: If the other people who use the toolkit want to have input, they need to contribute more. AFAIK there are zero non-GNOME devs working full time on GTK. I hope that changes, i.e. I hope the other desktops can find funding to send more designers and developers to collaborate with the GNOME people so everyone can have their say. That is the real issue here, I think it's incorrect to suggest that anything was "taken." It's open source, there isn't anyone who's going to take the code away from you unless you blatantly violate the license.
The difference is that Google or Facebook (or now AirBnb) are unilaterally deciding to make my choices for me. There is no message saying, “We discourage you to go to Washington,” there is only, “We decided for you that you shouldn’t be there.” Add that to growing monopolies and suddenly you can’t make any decisions for yourself, because there are no alternatives available.

Not to mention the fact that there are a perhaps infinite number of ongoing issues that said companies don’t decide to involve themselves in which would have a much greater effect.
I expect common carriers to have a duty to neutrality and defer to at least some government agency with oversight before deciding to pull the plug.

There is one rail line to carry grain in and out of a community. That rail line is a common carrier. It shouldn't be able to arbitrarily decide whose cargo to carry or not.

There is realistically only one ISP at my home. That should be a common carrier. They shouldn't be able to arbitrarily choose which IP addresses I can connect to or not, or what ports I can choose to talk on. I realistically have no choice on who to choose for that, so there's no market for alternative providers for me.

AWS is not a common carrier. If you get dropped from AWS there's still Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle Cloud, IBM/Softlayer, Hertzner, Digital Ocean, Linode, Hostgator, Dreamhost, and so many other smaller cloud/VPS providers out there. And that's assuming you're for some reason entirely unable to roll your own hardware and move your app into a colo, of which there are literally hundreds of providers in the US alone. There is lots of competition in the cloud hosting industry, and if you widen it to the hosting industry in general its extremely wide.
The ISA is pretty nice, simple, and well documented. And since it's "open", people can create their own implementations. Like this guy, who is creating a RISC-V processor from scratch, without using an FPGA.

Well there are two good reasons, maybe they're good enough?
> The question IMHO is, if people want to have a discussion, do downvotes without an explanation help to facilitate it?

And the answer is ”yes”.

> Therefore, downvoting a comment should always require either upvote to a direct reply or another reply.

If something spurs productive debate which deserves an upvote, or supports a response which is worth having, it doesn't deserve a downvote. Requiring a downvote to be accompanied by things which only make sense if the thing being downvotes doesn't deserve a downvote in the first place is nonsensical.
Most that are complaining about this just want something reliable.

Raspberry pis are very popular as audio streamers, media centers that streams of the network, home automations etc.

That sounds close to an ideal learning situation. Small-group individual attention (as close to tutoring as possible) allows teachers to constantly evaluate who's getting it/needs help, and to tailor the rate of presentation for best results. Congratulations, and I hope you're able to share that news of success, and the details, widely.

There’s no such thing as “uninvited criticism” in FOSS (or open mic night). Merely by exposing your project to be acquirable by end users, you have invited criticism. And if you go further and promote the project, give talks about it, recommend it, seek sponsorship, seek contributors, then you’ve invited criticism even more so.

Of course you can ignore that criticism - that was never in doubt. But users are fully justified to make the criticism and it would be rude and wildly unreasonable to reply by saying, “if you don’t like it, leave.”

My wife's school is on a 2-week remote learning due to COVID flair ups. Yesterday afternoon, while teachers were at the building, 3 youth (caught on camera thankfully) went to my wife's school and physically cut the internet cabling going into the building, it was unable to be repaired by today. The servers hosting their various learning software are inside the building(s) at the middle and high school, today they had to use a waiver and completely cancel school since teachers can't actually assign work and the like.

Practically they end up being really different. SD Cards end up being bottom of the barrel flash chips (even from the 'good' brands), whereas eMMC uses flash good enough that you can count on it being non replaceable.

You want "industrial" cards from a vendor tailored to the space. I wouldn't trust even those new industrial sandisk cards.
Ok, sure. But what do you propose? It's still a much better situation than what we have with Whatsapp. Is there something that the Signal Foundation could do to alleviate that concern you have? There's no technical solution in any technology for preventing the other side being compromised, as far as I can see.
In my experience, something like 90% of content on Instagram Reels is not originally created there. The recommendation engine (accessed via the search page) is almost exclusively bot accounts that steal and repost low-effort attention-grabbing content from other socials. Even the original content direct from creators usually has the TikTok watermark on it since it was originally created and posted there. In my experience as a casual Instagram surfer, it is wholly terrible compared to tiktok.
Depends if your goal is to sell ASAP. I know that in my part of Europe the government agencies that support small businesses with grants etc hate when they sell to foreign competitors as most likely outcome is IP transfer and breakup of a potential competitor. If these policies select for those unwilling to do this that’s fine as far as they’re concerned.

I'm one and personally I have a lot of pride in my work, no matter what I'm doing, so it takes me longer to do things than someone else that just scraps things together. This leads to me spending way more time on work.
I think many out there that are a victim of social cooling. Probably way more than we realize due to their silence.

You have to think twice about posting or messaging anything because you have to assume that the service will later be breached and your privacy exposed. Similarly, you have to weigh the consequences of simply signing up for a service in the first place due to the risk of the service or company being breached later.

I also think the archiving sites that want to download and archive everything add more to social cooling than anything else.
There should be a middle ground. The main issue with operator overloading is that every overload exists in the global scope. Thus, you get issues and surprises with unknown or competing overloads. Sometimes, a workable solution would be to have overloads restricted to a kind of named scope that the calling code can enter explicitly. Maybe something like operator_context(mz_vector_ops) { ... } which makes all operators defined in the context of my_vector_ops apply to expressions within the block, but nowhere else.

Lots of fungi and bacteria that aren't human pathogens can nonetheless infect us if they somehow get past our skin. Since they haven't evolved an equilibrium to maximize spread these are some of the deadliest diseases out there - or were until we learned to control them with drugs.

https://aeon.co/essays/when-bacteria-kill-us-it-s-more-accid...

We tend to think of the adaptive immune system, antibodies and such, as what protects us from disease. But it isn't nearly important as the automatic immune system that quickly dispatches most potential pathogens that find their way into our body without any period of learning. And that isn't as important as the barriers like skin and mucus that prevent all the critters of the world from getting into us in the first place.
As far as Third Point's public commentary goes, you're right. [0] (Who knows what they said in private.)
