The local hospital handles the problem like this:

Doctor 1 gathers evidence and makes a preliminary diagnosis and writes it down. Doctor 1 then presents only the evidence to Doctor 2. Doctor 2 comes up with an independent diagnosis and writes it down. They then see if they match.
The most charitable interpretation for support of municipal broadband bans is that municipalities have a natural monopoly over rights of way and telecom installation that private companies can't compete against. Not totally unfair, but the better protection is requiring municipalities lease access to last mile lines at fair rates rather than banning them from participating in the laying of lines.

I also highly doubt anyone supporting this bill is actually concerned about monopolies, since if they were they'd also be banning the non-competition between telecom companies that has municipalities considering their own broadband in the first place.

Well, a tow truck is quite niche...

Vans in the UK (almost exclusively diesel thanks to the torque) tend to be quite long geared. If you aren't hauling much you can even often skip a gear and shift up quite eagerly. I don't find manual vans very tedious, but then again, I've never had an auto van! I'd say they either don't exist or are exceedingly rare in the van rental market in the UK (I can't imagine an auto tow truck existing either)

Isotropic Systems – High Bandwidth, Low Power Satellite Terminals
Taking on the responsibility to be clear about the context of one's positions doesn't mean one would be "held accountable" for people who share the same beliefs. To me it just means taking on the responsibility to be clear, especially if it's in the context of something that quite glaringly intersects with neo-fascist or even nihilistic sarcasm rhetoric which often has the opposite goal. Unfortunately, I don't think those are fringe beliefs at the moment.

The other problem-- a whole lotta people are getting used to the social media economy of impressions and attention-keeping. Since the most effective current methods have to do with divisive and controversial content, it sure seems like there are a lot of bloggers and podcasters who go out of their way not to clarify positions that may intersect with a lot of nasty ideologies.

So at least until we figure out a way for social media to be less socially destructive, I'm going to take it upon myself to carry around a heavy backpack of context for all my online utterances. Otherwise I'm just leaving things to various dark patterns and algos which I know are up to no good.
> What price?

The price of having to pay a shady black market of "icloud unlocker" (usually through legit phone stores) to unlock of phone they have already paid for in good faith.

> the $200 MacBook from the shady person online

It's not just an online thing, and the person doesn't have to be shady (they're usually just a middleperson who have little clue). You can find questionable hardware in most open markets and second-hand shops.

> without the original box, warranty or charger?

Most second-hand hardware i purchase from legit sources comes with at least two of those missing (when not three) out of three.

> also because they're stupid.

I agree it's stupid to purchase a device you have no idea how to access/use/unlock. But i strongly disagree that good-faith people, who genuinely paid for an Apple device (after being advertised into thinking they need one), should suffer because of a lack of judgement on their part.

Seems sensible. Interestingly, there's no persistent unique identifier on a UK passport (short of the personal details, which will be unique). But there's no SSN or equivalent on them, and no address. Passport number is a relatively infrequently used thing, on account of the fact it changes on any renewal or replacement. If you have two passports, they have two different numbers.

Having a "non-ID" culture is a nice thing though - in the US, people need to show ID to board even a domestic flight. Having an app to help redact ID is a nice idea, but in my view is a fairly poor solution to a non-technical problem. If you didn't insist on having these places collect ID info, you wouldn't need the app. For proof of age, that's a good scenario where you likely do need ID (today), but in future should be able to use attribute-based authentication to pove this without disclosing anything.

Oh and polluting rivers being the only factor in this matter is not strawman? Changing entire country’s energy infrastructure takes decades, let alone absorbing that economically. Especially when you’re a newly formed country that at the same time needs to change every other aspect of itself to move from socialist to capitalist economy, society and infrastructure serving them.

I find that the real names improves the emotional impact of the story. Like when you watch a movie, it is just nice to know that "these are real events that occured to real people". Invented names hurt the story-telling, since it reminds you of the fact that "oh, this isn't totally real".

This is the same reason that NTSB reports are fun to read: you know that you're not just wasting your time with someone's imagination.

The public knowledge of their names also has positive impact in their circle of friends. Like, for example, now all their friends know that Oracle is a trigger to them and shouldn't be mentioned. It's a win-win-win: Society is entertained, the people named avoid getting triggered, and the friends avoid mentioning uncomfortable topics, triggering them.

> unable to raise the money

I think Nvidia could borrow or raise basically any amount of money if they had capital-intensive projects to invest in that would solve current or future supply constraints. Retained earnings are not the only way a company can invest in itself.

The problem isn't capital, its fundamental inelasticity of supply for semiconductors. Fabs (or capacity in fabs) can't be spun up or down quickly, nevermind cheaply.

It is now common knowledge in the NLP community that beam search only works for situations where the output space is very constrained, specifically, in neural machine translation.

I'm not sure I agree that it's not worthy of headlines.

One of the big trends I see with those 10-20 hr a week jobs, is that they are automated in terms of scheduling to try and optimize profit. In other words, they call you in for an 1hr on Monday, but then another 2 hrs later in the day. It's so chopped up that it's hard to coordinate a second job.

And part of the automation is to also ensure employees don't accidentally hit full time, to avoid benefits.

So now they hold two jobs, each chopping their day into tiny bits of unusable time (commute, prep, etc.). And neither has to pay any benefits.

It's a win win for companies, and a lose lose for everyone else.

> ordu is allowed to innately know that they are not an alcohol addict, but the author of the article is not extended the same courtesy.

Yeah, something like this. I'm not entirely sure that alcoholic addiction would be just like a nicotine one, but I believe it would be similar enough for me to detect it. If I'm right I might hope that my experience with nicotine could be generalized to alcohol.

Maybe unrelated to a discussion of "is a period of abstinence is revealing", but I rarely drink alcohol, and a year or two without a drop of alcohol is a normal to me.

> Most definitions of addict suggest they are unable to control their compulsion, but I couldn't see any indication of that from the article.

I see no indication that he is able to control it. He is like "I want to take heroin, so I'm taking it". It is a very popular stance for addicts. When I tried to control my nicotine addiction it mostly ended with "I do not want to control". Even now I do not want to control, though I now see the difference between "I do not want to control" and "I want to smoke". I do not want to smoke and do not want to control my addiction.

When plane uncontrollable falling to a ground due to a failure, a pilot could state that it is his intention, and therefore the fall is a controlled one. People often do something like this, but for an addict it is a symptom by itself.

> I'm not trying to change your mind.

You entered a lot of comments in this thread when one comment could have sufficed to get your message across. So you'll have to excuse me if I remain unconvinced of your motivation.

> Unfortunately for you, the majority of people must agree and be ok with the walled gardens provided by Apple because they continue to buy the products.

That's patently false. As I mentioned earlier, I myself buy iPhones and iPads despite the fact that I'm not okay with the walled garden as the sole method of loading software. I've also seen many, many people in this thread and in threads past express my same views. Heck, you can see it everywhere even among non-programming hangouts like reddit, 9gag, etc. There's a difference between begrudgingly accepting some sad state of affairs and actively pursuing it.

> If people wanted the freedom you're describing, they'd buy an Android phone.

That's better stated as "If the only thing people wanted was freedom of software sources, they'd buy a particular Android model and brand of phone that allows them that freedom." In other words, you're grossly oversimplifying the problem. As with all things, there's usually a multitude of competing desires driving someones choices. For the masses, software freedom doesn't even enter their minds. Instead, they decide based on their susceptibility to marketing, their financial means (price), what their friends are using, what they're used to and so on.

Luckily for me, the masses don't decide on this. Just like in Banking, Finance, Health and other industries that widely affect the common man - the common man doesn't decide the rules for those industries either. The people working in it do - and I'm one of the people working in it. Do you think common people cared that Microsoft was bundling Internet Explorer with Windows? Not really, not outside of Slashdot in that day - Netscape, Oracle and other affected companies got the ball rolling on that one. Even a small group of Linux users were able to push for getting refunds from OEMs on Windows bundled with their PCs.

With iPhones approaching 50% general market share in the US and 80-90% of the youth market in the US gravitating towards iPhones (which will cause the general market share to keep rising) - the writing is on the wall. They're going to be forced to open up somehow. The only question is what form that is going to take and where (EU/US/Asia). Apple will follow the laws of the land and the law is a constantly changing battleground, especially for a new-ish field such as ours.

This is a normal thing in any negotiation in the real world.

The first price you get is high, specially if the thing in question has never been done before.

When things have never been done before, real prices at the end tend to be higher than expected.

Bureaucrats can expect things to be perfect, because they live in a perfect world of the already known. But when you work with uncertainty and chaos like spaceX new rockets or RNA vaccines you don't really know everything and need to fail in order to explore.

So far, RNA vaccines have been a tremendous success, they are faster and cheaper to produce, but they have never been used on humans before, and never before vaccination has been applied at such global scale.
Music, acting, and dancing are much, much more difficult than you portray them to be. It's just that the people who are good at it make it look easy. The competition is also extremely fierce and ruthless. There is little demand for most artists.

In tech, there is high demand for even moderately proficient individuals. There are tons of free tools and helpful resources to help you study and improve. If you have access to a computer and the internet you are already in a great position to practice. Being a master is obviously tremendously hard, but it is far from necessary for a good life.

If I had to choose, I would pick tech since there is a greater probability of having a very decent standard of living, and tech workers are generally left alone when it comes to the rest of their lifestyle. They do not need to keep up a personal style and social life that directly feeds into their job prospects. That's why the last point you mentioned is actually in favor of tech being easier.

> Honestly with names like "front" and "wash" the whole thing should be checked by tax officials. The words probably mean something else, but ... wow

It's funny how worked up and self righteous one could get even while recognizing that they don't actually understand the concept. It's particularly amusing that you were alarmed by "front" (what, like a mafia front?) when there's also a "back".

I have never worked at Citi but I can make reasonable guesses as to what these accounts are.

Wash is a term that means "funds did not leave the firm" (you may have heard the expression "it's a wash" to mean "things net out to 0."

Front and back may have to do with direction of funds flow, or perhaps a hierarchy of accounts (like "we are pulling from account X on the back-end and into account Y on the front-end")

Not saying these are exactly right, point is that as someone who's been in finance for a long time these are totally innocent.
So, during a critical situation, you authorize business to sell their vaccines at an inflated price.
