People really make it as if it’s a better solution. there are multiple reasons why apple still doesn’t like allowing third party to take control. One reason means that trusting the third party applications means trusting privacy on the sub applications and apple have been trying to be more transparent on every app in their store.
Another is how the payment system works. Yes, apple takes a big chunk of money and it may be absurd, but I wouldn’t want applications to end up being like google play apps, where i have to trust the company for not stealing my payments info or using their own payment method to track costumers without apple knowledge. not to mention if the company got cyber attacked and they store my payment information.
Opening things up for third party may make things better if you read privacy policies and trust companies that you know are trustworthy, but it takes the privacy and security out of apple hands. Add to that how certain companies will definitely exploit that system, Facebook would probably hide their app inside an appstore to avoid privacy policy being transparent.
Apple acting as a middleman for every app in the store isn’t that bad if you consider all that, and i am sure we would see many articles blaming apple if things go bad in a third party app.

In any case, can you comment on the impact to the essential desert biomes you propose to dig up? What about the cost of safe transport from the power plants to the more remote areas where you say it's safe? How about security to keep out the curious or malicious? What sort of protections would you propose to prevent problems like those at Hanford?

I highly recommend reading both.
What I was questioning was that it shouldn't be taking weeks because the write speed of a single disk is enough to fill it in a day or two with sequential IO. I.e. the sequential resilver alone should be enough to fix the "can take weeks" problem.

Additional speed on top of that is nice of course, if you're using such wide pools.
> Only responsible and healthy individuals should self-use drugs, generally speaking.

The funny thing I've been reading the article and the tone of it reminded me of heroin addicts who was not hit by their addiction heavily yet. I mean, Carl Hart thinks he is a responsible user, that he have an ability to decide for himself. It doesn't seem so for me. It is hard to tell, having as a data only one interview with him. But... you know, I'm an addict also, a nicotine one. I know how it is. First ten years of my addiction I though that there is nothing wrong with that, it costs some money and gives an urge to smoke sometimes, but it brings some benefits too. A few years ago I stopped smoking, after a month of abstinence I saw no benefits in smoking at all. My abstinence lasted for a couple of years, now I'm smoking again. Seeing no benefits at all.

I know what I'm speaking about, I know the signs, I see the signs, and I see Carl Hart as a fellow addict, though with a different substance.

I drink alcohol sometimes, and I know that I'm not an addict. Even despite the fact that sometimes I want to drink. A wish to drink is a warning sign of course, but I see no other signs. Like a despair coming with the thought that now it is not the good time to drink for some reasons. I have no ideas about benefits of being drunk: it is a funny state of mind, but mostly annoying, I'm really stupid when drunk, I see my stupidity and can do nothing to it. An addiction is a special state of mind, I believe one (i.e. me) could feel it as distinct from other states. Though it takes some learning, one needs to become an addict and to stop using an addictive substance of his choice. If Carl Hart wanted to prove that he is not an addict, he should stop using heroin for a couple of years, and then try to state his freedom from an addiction with a straight face. While he is using heroin for just five years and didn't tried to stop, I'd never believe his words that he is not an addict. When it would be 10-15 years or 5 years of abstinence, I'll probably believe his word on it.
Amazing. Thanks for the feedback. With your help we can get better.
No. There's a large body of research.

Here's one showing only 5% of people filling opioid scripts go on to long term use.[1]

Another older study citing 2% of US adults regularly using opioids, while a further 29% use them infrequently. Other more recent studies I seen hold this pretty constant. [2]

Here [3] only 13% of elective surgery patients fill opioid scripts beyond 90 days, and "mental health disorders, and tobacco dependence or abuse were associated with prolonged opioid use". It's well known that people with one substance abuse issue tend to be at higher risk for developing others.

You could go on and on finding studies that show that relatively few people with high risk medical/mental health history go on to develop opioid addiction after using these substances. There doesn't seem to be any support for the idea that the average person can take these drugs once and become "hooked".

All that said, they are dangerous and have strong addictive potential so caution is warranted.

In my case, I have INC_APPEND_HISTORY enabled. It appears I get 0 in the duration column because it's writing to the history file before executing the command. I see there's the alternative option INC_APPEND_HISTORY_TIME to append to history after the command finishes in order to include the duration.

It makes sense. It's preferring to add to history immediately so that it's available to other shells without having to wait for the command to finish.

From the manpage:

> INC_APPEND_HISTORY_TIME This option is a variant of INC_APPEND_HISTORY in which, where possible, the history entry is written out to the file after the command is finished, so that the time taken by the command is recorded correctly in the history file in EXTENDED_HISTORY for‐ mat. This means that the history entry will not be available immediately from other instances of the shell that are using the same history file. This option is only useful if INC_APPEND_HISTORY and SHARE_HISTORY are turned off. The three options should be considered mutually exclusive.
> It looks like you got off easy since your "drug" of choice nicotine has entirely negligible negative effects on an organism of the size of a human

You are right. I ended up with easily maintained hypertension and the urge to smoke that probably will never go away.(While on it, I also had significantly worse anxiety, decreased sleep quality, and bubbly urine. I definitely don't recommend trying it)

But the social dynamics between it and heroin are the same. If we normalize its use and downplay its risks, more people will use it. And the physical and social harms from heroin use are far worse than nicotine.
Why not? If they have product-market fit, they can build the infrastructure they need.

>> of course Amazon is going to keep that and use it to personalize my results. Frankly that's part of their value add

You think it is value add because you assume they are using the data to send you more relevant content. That's just not how data is always used. A google customer (eg an advertiser) might want to hit you with deliberately non-relevant ads, ads to divert you away from a competitor product. You might want to book a trip to visit family in Hawaii, but the Florida resort advertiser doesn't much care what you want actually. They will hit you with Florida ads in hopes that they can divert a potential traveler to a different destination. You will miss out on relevant Hawaii content simply because Florida has paid more to put content in front of you.

Ha - whatever OSS licences say, when you're dealing with terms written by Oracle lawyers, you're getting even less chances of successfully suing them if it goes wrong. You can argue about their technology, but the legal part of Oracle is quite capable, so much that I would assert that Citibank does not have a case against Oracle no matter what the software did. Pretty much all commercial software contracts includes similar idemnification clauses - they can't include the "not fit for any purpose" but the "if it goes wrong, it's not our problem" part definitely is there; and if it turns out to be not fit for purpose (which is ridiculously unlikely to prove for any actual product that's not totally made-up-nonexistent-fraudulent thing) then you might get back some of what you paid for it, but not for the losses you had due to it failing, assuming the licence/contract wasn't written by incompetent idiots.
> But, it's important to also point out how bizzare this exception is, how did this even get included as the one and only exception?

It is question how exactly the law is written. I would not bet on legal details to be exactly right in non-law-expert journal.

Here, a receiver or an errorneous wire transfer is not required to send them back based on the fact that wire transfer was unintentional on the sender side, but is required send them back based on the fact that the receiver do not have valid claim to that money.

If the law in NY has been formulated this way, the 'bizarre exception' would be just natural result of the law and not explicit exception. If a debtor unintentionally sends money to the creditor while the debt is due, then creditor has valid and legal claim on that money.
Read this thread [1] at the Zsh mailing list to the end.

It looks like either share_history or inc_append_history break recording duration in a fundamental way. The TL;DR is that the history line is written out before the command in question completes. I guess the thinking is that inc/shared history with some very long running command is not as useful if you wait until it ends and you have elapsed time data to append that line. I feel like that might be a personal issue - like if you almost only ever run commands 1-90 seconds then you are fine with the delay.

Anyway, this also explains why it is available from the `history -fD` command but not in the file.

It blows my mind that Oracle gets paid huge sums of money for the garbage they put out. I went to a CUNY school and they rolled out a "new" administration system called CUNYfirst. Literally a several $100 million dollar contract and Oracle provided a slightly modified version of Peoplesoft. The UI looks like something that should have never existed on this earth.

Most people investing in stocks gaining high returns seem to think they are great investors but well, anyone can invest and get high returns in such a bullish market.

Most people would find it difficult to tell when the next bear hits but given that more people are investing now more than ever, not knowing when the bear market comes can be painful and a lot of average joes might panic dump their shares. I might be ( and hopefully be ) wrong tho.

> and so everyone’s just typing with much more force than necessary

This is interesting!. I learn typing in a VERY old mechanical typewriter, then in an electronic one, then in a computer keyboard.

You need to hammer the keys in the old typewriter, like hitting with all the force in the world. But in the electronic it was so soft! Then the computers come and was like in the middle.

I made my own mechanical keyboard, and looking at it, I bottom up around the "middle", not going full force. Also, I HEAR if I hitting it too hard, so I can "lower" the sound mid-tipyng! Cool to have feedback!
It’s not anecdotal, and he’s not just talking about heroin. He’s been involved in pharmacology studies for over 20 years.

I wish people didn’t dismiss Carl Hart immediately out of hand. Prohibition has never been a successful strategy. People are going to buy drugs no matter what. The biggest problem we have with drugs in the US is that people are uninformed about safe drug use and they are unable to easily verify the purity of the drugs they buy.

A lot of people are pointing to the UI here but I think there’s a more fundamental problem of using a system in a way it wasn’t designed to in the first place.

The need for transferring principal to your own “wash” account in order to make an interest payment to other parties seems unconventional.

It’s violating the problem domain. Similar to using special int values like -1 or -2 in an orderId DB field to indicate that order was cancelled or in progress instead of creating an explicit orderStatus field.
Sure, in that sense it’s “fair”. It’s also meaningless, as this example shows most people will not make a really great product if there is no upside for them so they will mail it in. So sure you can try to squeeze your employees but maybe if you gave them some more you would get a smaller percentage of a much bigger pie giving a win win. It’s very unlikely big corporations can do that for the precedence it sets.
