It is easy to explain. As people become more privileged socially and economically they become increasingly retarded mentally. Young people that grow up in a bubble simply don't experience the real world, they are never challenged or corrected. The ONLY thing that is surprising is that whole house of cards is still standing at all. It is why AOC can be taken seriously when she demands free health care, university, housing, basic income etc. because her generation sees the vast amount of wealth present but has no conception of how it was generated.

I think we are on the edge of a second dark age. All it will take is for an AOC to get elected, cut the military to replace it with hand outs and a China or Russia to step in to fill the void. I just hope I get to stick around long enough to see the fall of western civilization and be smart enough to profit from it. Right now that means going long on corn and soybean futures and buying gold and Bitcoin.
The autopay typically comes out the last day that you can make a payment in the current cycle, which is 20-25 days after the cycle closes. You’ll always have a minimum 2-3 weeks to review the charges before the autopay goes out.
Then we are very different people. I would struggle to stay motivated in an environment where everyone is grumpy.

Corruption seems hardly to bear any consequence. Sigh.
I grew up upper middle class, our car had no air conditioning, my father was doing car repairs himself. I'm from Eastern Europe, a relatively wealthy country compared to much of the rest of the world.
Somehow the French have never made pretty cars. On the other hand, you have the Twingo.
You're moving goal posts (and accusing me of not reading the article on top of that--that's an impressive feat of self-confidence!). You claimed that it would put your career at risk. Being passed up for a promotion isn't putting your career at risk. You still have a career after being passed up for a promotion. There are actually people whose careers are at risk--who get fired even--because leftists pressure their employers into firing them (I'm less interested in painting leftists in a bad light or otherwise risk a flame war; I only mention it because it's relevant).

But anyway, accepting the new position of the goal posts, can you demonstrate examples of people who were passed up for promotion. Of course it's harder to prove these things causally, but if it happens often enough to have a chilling effect it should surely be trivial to identify one-or-two cut and dry cases?
He was just discussing blackface, racial slurs, and systematic racism with a bunch of teenagers who ended up thinking he was a racist asshole.

Something makes me think this was not a calm, two-sided, conversation amongst equals. It sounds more like he lectured them and belittled their opinions.

If that's the case, it doesn't automatically make him racist, but it does mean he misjudged the situation and what he was supposed to be doing.

An agreement goes both ways.

If a company makes you sign something that it knows or should know is unenforceable, how is the company and its representatives being ethical?
That's a hell of an exception.
People like you are incredibly dishonest.

Yeah, people are just imagining the waves of deplatforming and online censorship, being fired from their jobs for dissenting from the orthodoxy.
I don't think this is all that unprecedented. I think a fair number of curse words today were perceived as much worse in the past, especially when they invoked a sense of blasphemy in some contexts, or dishonor in another.

Fuck is not much of an effective curse word in many contexts as people don't care if its said.
Pardon the ignorance but isn’t there a significant difference in how you pronounce this word? There is one way to say it that is the taboo version (phonetic spelling sort of) and another - with -a in the end which is how it’s used in songs etc.?

I have never heard the first pronunciation used in the US, but the second, accepted version is used everywhere, mostly by black people, but by white people too.

Even though white people using the accepted version may raise some eyebrows, it’s nothing compared to what I imagine would happen if the first, phonetic pronunciation was used.

Asking this because it seems many people here refer to rap / movies / street use of the word, where in 100% of the cases (besides maybe some historic prose) the word has been used in its modified, accepted form.

As for the first, historic/ phonetic pronunciation, it seems unreasonable to use it in any context, besides maybe speaking of some historical usage in prose etc., unless, of course, one actually intends to be offensive.

there are many electric vehicles in europe: bmw, seat, vw, hyundai, audi, porsche, nissan. these probably sell better than in the US because they don't have the best range but that's OK for some EU countries.

also, some countries have good charging infra (non tesla), so you're not forced to buy tesla for the infra.
I've got a feeling that Elon is the kind of person who would only be happy with death on a battlefield, bested by a worthy opponent.
I was just warning people. Depending on something like umatrix that also uses "lists" that aren't being updated should at least be known about. I wouldn't recommend using it without combining it with something like noscript or ublock (depending on how aggressive you are).
Just read this this morning before work and thought how I can relate to having to fix my own cars and now I am better off and don’t car stress any more but if forced me to learn a lot along the way. Then at work my coworker is telling me she was at the transmission shop and Toyota and car still isn’t running well. I look and knew right away she had a bad air filter. 25$ back on the road full power
What is an Apple Card policy?
If anyone is looking for what opennebula is, Wikipedia says: OpenNebula is a cloud computing platform for managing heterogeneous distributed data center infrastructures. The OpenNebula platform manages a data center's virtual infrastructure to build private, public and hybrid implementations of Infrastructure as a Service.
Have you tried PlantUML? It provides means of adjusting the layout.
I use it often, most of the time the adjustment is good enough for engineering communication within minutes of adjustment.
It could be better if there is more cohesive documentation of its support for the adjustment.
I had to search on Google many times to figure out how to add the adjustment.
The adjustment consists of directives of placement and direction of links, the length of links, grouping of notes, etc.
I feel that it's very promising with more popular support.

But why? Sure, it doesn't cost that much to store terabytes in a data center (plus bandwidth to distribute the chain to other peers, validate new blocks etc). But any cost is something, considering there is no reward for running a node. AWS S3 standard charges $138/mo to store 6 TB of data. Who gets $138/mo of value out of running their own full node, rather than just piggybacking off the existing network? As I mentioned in my first post, exchanges are the only ones I can think of.
Sometimes you pull a short straw and end up with shitty coworkers. I've worked with groups of people that were uniformly high functioning and understanding, and other groups that dwelled on political positioning and avoided work at all costs. Happens in every industry, some more than others.
If you believe that nobody has tried to cheat me, steal from me, take advantage of my ignorance and inexperience, steamroll me, threaten me, con me, etc., you're very mistaken.
You gave five examples of state violence to maintain existing social order. “Cancel culture” is not being done by the state.

I agree, ideas can cause upheaval, and there will be resistance to those ideas. But have you considered that your resistance to the idea of holding people to account for their actions and words might be a resistance to a social change?

I’ve heard a lot about cancel culture, but most of it has been rich successful people being deprived of continuing to be successful for something they have said or done that was actually harmful. The few examples of miscarriages of justice have not amounted to much other than a few lost sales and some clapbacks on social media. It feels like we’re doing an actually pretty good job at judging when to all-out-destroy someone (harvey weinstein) and when to just be critical (almost everyone else)
It’s not, at all. I have an Apple Card. My Apple Card account is totally separate from my iCloud account.
A chess grandmaster knows better than to consider every option to the same depth. Pruning is choosing what not to think about. I wouldn't expect grandmasters improve by increasing their positions evaluated/second throughout their career.
If you're referring to that other guy whose social media accounts were terminated, it was because he incited his followers to storm an important government building, which left five people dead. So it's quite a stretch to suggest that may happen to anyone...
Roku to acquire Nielsen's advanced TV advertising division
Doing less thinking to reach a conclusion quickly isn't the same thing as thinking faster.

It's a meaningful distinction because there are physical and mental costs (calories and stress) to trying to "think faster" that don't accrue the same when making decisions based on learnings.

It requires a lot of work from the user unlike something like ublock. It's fine for power users and hardcore privacy adherents but I would never recommend it for your general internet user as they'll just get confused.
Nope. Even if the "seller" pays taxes on that 6.6M we still won't know if he just paid himself that money. If you have 6.6M of dirty money, this seems like a nice way of washing it clean.

I've unfortunately have discovered that the people who I thought to be friends (smart, funny, kind) have completely changed their attitude once they found out my employer. Now I have to watch out everything I say around them because it's all assumed to come from a place of evil intent and interpreted in the worst case possible.

Lesson learned: do not share your work place with anyone you want to keep being friends with, at least not people that aren't similarly employed/earn similarly.
Really cool!! Can you post it on GitHub ? I can use it while making documentation

"At that point deflation stops."

Not unless all economic growth stops, too. More people in the world + fixed number of bitcoins = deflation. More cars/computers/thingys made + fixed number of bitcoins = deflation.
I think the true answer is pretty cut & dry: They didn't sell your data to everyone.
If you read Tim's tweet, it says in the policy "Ability to ENABLE Apple services [like] Sign in with Apple". This makes sense as Epic no longer has the ability to enable SIWA on new apps.

Says nothing about termination of SIWA on current apps as SIWA will continue to work on existing Apps.

I think Tim wasn't being too honest here.
Thanks, and I agree with you. But policies can change, so it's a fair conversation to have if in fact the stated thing happened. People seem to think that "is there evidence for what you said" is some kind of abusive reply but that should be table stakes for most claims. The guy in the tweet already said he'd write something up, but the people who said he is probably stating falsehoods just came up with that based on a gut feeling.

Me personally, Apple repeatedly locked (not disabled) my account earlier this year when they weren't able to process a payment. PayPal had authorized but not charged an M1 laptop I had ordered with a non-English keyboard, and somehow the order hung. My bank and PayPal showed the authorization, but Apple showed it as "hold" due to unsuccessful payment. Customer service wasn't able to push the order through without taking credit card information directly, and I ended up canceling the order, which means I lose my place in the order queue.

Based on my recent experience, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple had some issues with payment processing. The reason that I care about this particular topic is that I'm considering doing the re-order of the M1 laptop with Apple Card financing. That's why chaff like "it feels false lol" is not useful information for me.
The ones I've done contracts with were all willing to negotiate. Have you tried it?
> I don't think this is all that unprecedented.

If you can point to a time in American history when one's livelihood and reputation could be utterly destroyed for uttering a 'magic incantation', I'd like to hear about it.

Oh wait - I remember now, something in Salem in the late 17th century?
> Jerry Seinfeld, a mainstream comedian, stopped playing at college campuses years ago already because he was getting picked apart and no longer welcome. at precisely the place that is supposed to be the most transgressive and open to ideas! a place to expand minds, remember? now it fully embraces orthodoxy and censorship.

Was Jerry Seinfeld banned from any campuses? Or did he elect to stop performing at campuses? From everything I've read, it was a choice he personally made.

So, why did he make that choice? Well, because people didn't find his jokes funny. And moreover, they had reasons that they didn't find them funny. He couldn't stand the heat, and left the kitchen.

Free speech is not freedom from critical response. This isn't some failure of free speech on campus, it's a failure of one comedian to keep his material fresh.
This has nothing to do with the Twitter complaint. Are you locked out of iCloud? If not, then it’s not the same at all.
Ah thanks for the clarification.
I have never been Poor, but the kinds of reactions you describe can take root with even pretty transient financial stress.

I had a couple very thin years -- savings dwindling, and then gone; work was scarce. Collectors were calling. I was afraid I was going to lose my house. My power got cut off.

I scraped by, and got out of it, and find myself now in a very fortunate position -- better off than I was before, excellent income, minimal debt (and zero consumer debt), etc. -- but even a couple years of that kind of instability leaves a mark. It's not as much as throwaway's, but I'm very debt-averse. I'm very risk-averse. We save a LOT. I'll never be in that position again.

I find that most people never consider how precarious their position really is until an object lesson comes along.
The main issue with this games controls apart from the usual touch screen key sloppiness is that left and right changes with the cars orientation. This is an absolute no go and makes it a chore to control. Games 35 years ago already figured this out.
I can see why most other corporations would behave like this even if it's not quite ethical, but the NYT crudely sweeping this kind of thing under the rug seems to more directly contradict their values and goals. I don't think it can produce honest, critical journalism if this is how it evaluates speech under attack. Journalism more than any other industry is vulnerable to this kind of shallow smear but it must bear it to do its job well.
you'll never know if you're speaking to the Blight.
It is a function of privilege. The more privileged the more the person feels confident being outraged. Something weird about people is the less problems they have the more problems they make up.

Hence the Karen meme. It is pointing out how the most privileged class of humans in the history of the world (35-45 year old white women) are also the most aggressive and easiest to be outraged by "injustice".
Seeing this thread I understand why the "U"SA have become so fucked. Sorry to all those 90s kids who grew up in the illusion of a middle-class society.

Carrot for the well-situated, stick for the rest. The truly amazing thing is how this system creates its own proponents without any diction or explicit coercion like ideologies of old. And by obfuscating its workings with complicated black boxes in the form of financial and legal entities it can stay diffuse and difficult to pinpoint.

Gratz to those who made it, could have been much easier in the rest of the first world though.
>If you think something "feels false" but you have no evidence for it, that's not a particularly strong basis for reasoning.

That's true, but an extraordinary claim without extraordinary evidence is also not a particularly strong basis for reasoning.

and from the original post...

>I consider it worrying that a claim wholly lacking evidence is getting so much attention.

That is, the conclusion reached by twitter is not well-reasoned, which gives kevindong the well-reasoned conclusion: it's probably false.

>It's classifying the first instance as false.

>This *FEELS* (not saying it is) like a false claim.

I'm not clear how you can read this as anything other than a probability. It says nothing about the premise, and it clearly specifies that the conclusion has not been [definitively] classified.

Otherwise, if that ain't the money-quote, I don't know what you're reading but it's not what I'm reading.
Huh? He mentions nowhere in his first paragraph, or first couple paragraphs for that matter, the reason for why he was fired, which seems like a rather important detail.
I got some downvotes on this post but it's a genuine question and I'm not trying to troll. Not sure what's going on here.
>The barrier to entry is much lower

Very true and i blame it entirely on the rise of "Web Programming". When it started off with HTML/CSS, a whole lot of non-programmers jumped into the industry and thus a lot of frameworks/libraries added layers of abstractions to cater to them to make it "as simple as possible" to write a "Web App". But then things only got more complex with the need to recreate desktop app experience within a browser and the explosion of mobile devices. The non-programmers were now out of their depth but since the software market had expanded exponentially they "upgraded" their skills and continued churning out "code" with predictable results.
> He currently has fears that his turning away from religion may have been a mistake and that he could be damned to hell for this. He also fears punishment for compulsive masturbation, which he says he engaged in daily for ten years prior to his loss of sexual urges these last few months.

This reminded me a bit too much of myself. Never actively religious, unlike the author, I developed (pure obsessional) obsessive compulsive disorder in my teens and fixated on the nominally Catholic identity I'd been introduced to as a child. I was never happy about what little religion I had, but I came to the conclusion that it was absolutely true, and I took everything I knew about it to its (seemingly) logical conclusion. The years of shame, guilt and loneliness that I experienced as a result aren't something that I'd wish upon anyone. It's worth pointing out that my beliefs were far from mainstream, but if you'd pressed me on it, I would have insisted that no, I was right and everybody else was doing it wrong.

Thankfully, I got on antidepressants a few years ago, and anafranil works like a charm for me (Fluoxetine, aka Prozac worked as well, but I've found the anafranil to be more effective with less side effects. That's just me though, and there's no reason to assume it would be true for others). I can look at my past obsessions as deluded and wonder why many of the things that bothered me actually did. That, combined with regular cannabis use[1], therapy, and making extra effort to be critical of my thoughts and feelings has given me my life back. Despite covid anxiety, I'm in one of the best mental states of my life now.

I'm not advocating for anything here. I haven't discovered some sort of cure-all treatment, just a series of interventions that I've associated with improvements in my mental health. Talk to your doctor before trying anything, don't use cannabis if you have a history of psychosis (and start low if you don't, anxiety, paranoia, and possibly even psychosis in the middle of a mental crisis is the last thing you want), etc.

If there's a moral to this ramble, it's this: even if it feels hopeless, even if you think you're damned, you can't know for sure. I've improved, maybe you can too.

[1] My hypothesis as to why it was useful to me for stopping episodes of rumination is because of the way it reduces short term memory while high. It's hard to obsess when it takes effort to remember your most recent thoughts.

From the reporter fired by the NYT following an unflattering daily beast, albeit full of apparent fabrications, story[1]:

“. ..But we’re still jackals. We can befriend you for years, and then bite off your arm just as you’re offering us a treat. We can’t help it. It’s the nature of the job. At the highest levels, like Watergate, it’s about digging for the truth, no matter what corrupt government official it hurts. At the basest level, when even the crummiest scandal erupts, you have to repeat the accusation, even if you know it’s untrue or half-true, in order to explain the truth — no matter how much you may personally like the source you’re hurting.”
