It is pretty risky publicly betting on some technological progress not happening :) At least if no known laws of physics would be broken by achieving said progress.
If the question is "could you", then the answer is yes. Apple has full control over those APIs on your device, and could choose to stop serving them with the press of a button.

If the question is "will they" though, I doubt they'll go that far. Apple is super wary of tipping their hand when they're holding all of the cards, and an action like this would raise a lot of concern, even within the walled garden.
That's gles. It's in vulkan too.
Lets get Glass-Steagall back for finance first. . .its affiliation clauses were totally defanged in 1999 (and likely the contributing cause for the crash of 2007-2008). After that let's work on identity.
I experienced this to incredible extremes. It was taking our clients two hours to load their data into an external tool that they use, daily, to view that data. This was caused by our use of a data store that was only half supported by that tool. I showed that if we took two weeks to switch to the other data store, their load times would be 30 seconds. It took two years, and a new manager, to get that implemented. Unfortunately, most of the clients are still using the old data store. They haven't had time to switch to the new version...
Inheritances are not taxable (for the recipient), but IRS data shows similar patterns.

What it really comes down to is that the upper tail of the "reliable income" distributions is thin enough that a large fraction of the people who end up in various "top N%" buckets are there due to various windfalls, lumpiness of income (e.g. a writer getting an advance that they live on for a few years while writing the book), etc, etc.

Which is, by the way, why the way we do progressive taxation is a bit weird. Progressive taxation with tax brackets based on lifetime earnings, as opposed to current-year income, would make a lot more sense in some ways...
Tree-sitter uses JS for grammars and I'm sure there are others:

There are a lot of people that would get fired and worse if they simple stated their actual opinion instead of repeating the "popular opinion".
Not difficult at all to get film from Freestyle Photo, or B&H, Adorama or any other company online which sells 120 film. I'm sure there's somewhere near you which will allow you to send the film for development.
The part with four 10Gbps ports is nice. I wish there were more mini-itx x86-64 server boards with such. The vast majority of mini-itx boards are not designed for front-to-back server airflow, and are intended/marketed more for consumer enthusiast small gaming PCs and stuff.

Ordinarily in a x86-64 intel or AMD chipset server if you wanted 4 x 10Gbps SFP+, in addition to whatever NICs are on the motherboard, you'll end up using one of the Intel chipset, low-profile PCI-Express interface cards in a slot. Using some 1U long depth Dells as an example you might get a motherboard that has 2 x 1000BaseT and 2 x 10GbE SFP+ in daughtercard plugged into the motherboard, and then you'd have two or three low-profile PCIE slots to add more NICs. Or some combination like one full-height size PCIE slot and one low profile slot.
Where do you move the hundred million people in Bangladesh?

OPs context does not touch on safety nets at all, so where are you getting this from?

Seems like such thinking is a symptom of our current political BS. Having experienced some pretty crappy times, would you honestly think I’d oppose NOT subjecting others to the same misery?! Of course not, no one should experience these and everyone deserves basic dignity.
This is exciting, the best part in my opinion would be the downsampling function:

> SELECT lttb_downsample(time, value, num_buckets=>500) FROM data;

I cannot tell you how many times I've reimplemented downsampling for time-series charts. This would be incredibly useful!
I don't grant your premise that the U.S. government's level of access to Google data is the same as the Chinese government's access to Xiaomi's. I also don't grant that the two governments are equivalent threats to privacy. You would need to demonstrate both of those things for me to be on board with your argument.

But, the point I actually want to make is that this implies that people aren't concerned with Google's use of their private data, which I think is demonstrably not true, given that they've got multiple open lawsuits against them over it.

That's not a big deal. Bank of America will close your account based on your social media score.

Because to a first approximation, that's not what ever happens. "Steve" is far more a political talking point than a real person.

FTA:

> The night the program aired, the C.E. Hooper ratings service telephoned 5,000 households for its national ratings survey.

From [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._E._Hooper]:

> Compared to the earlier Crossley ratings, Hooperatings had the advantage of not depending on respondents remembering what they had listened to earlier in the day. However, they still only sampled an urban rather than rural population. They also failed to account for the millions of households at the time which had a radio set but no telephone.

Seems like the answer is somewhere in the middle.
How do you get to we should base our system on the failed Germany model? Do you want to pay ~triple the avg US price for electricity? What do you think happens to the not small segment of the population struggling to make ends meet?

The Germans invented a new term in the context of this issue - energy poverty.

Do you want to pay more for your electricity, produce more emissions so we can virtue signal that our electric production is solar & wind?

This approach means that you are depriving a billion people on Earth of reliable access to electricity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_a9RP0J7PA

>How do you get from there to 'and therefore we should give up on making more'?
I do not claim this. I am stating facts in the face of unreliable energy dogma. Let the free market compete.
I can only pull from my experiences, but I have witnessed many in my family and other poor families that only work hard enough to get what they need. And very few go beyond that and work for what they want. It’s hard, exhausting work. I regularly slept less than 4 hours because I’d be up all night working jobs, projects, anything to get a better life. My mom is mixed and my dad is white, I look like my mom but with really light skin. Being mostly white and not having my moms Arabic name helped get interviews and my foot in the door. What some see as luck is others using absolutely every advantage they can muster to go further than they would be able to otherwise.

It is, but there are a huge number of web sites. And I don't think automation is possible unless you are only allowed to use an approved consent script.
I like your analogy but I’m not sure it’s perfect. In the finance world I don’t think anyone would presume to say more work === more success. There is a talent component that is not perfectly replicable across hedge funds. BUT in real life more work very often does equal more success because so many careers really do not require a high level of ‘talent’.
Another accidental method I found was leaving Javascript off by default. It's a bit more granular since websites experience different levels of breakage (if any) without JS. But it makes me similarly thoughtful. I can't count the amount of times I've clicked back on personal blogs (via HN) that don't load because of JS. And IEEE. It seems to be a good filter so far.
Best of luck to you! If you ever want us to interview you for Orbital Index, feel free to reach out to me.
Neat! We're totally on the same page--incremental view maintenance not only makes materialized views a useful building block for data pipelines, it can make them much simpler, too!
"Some companies" not working with you can be the end of your career in some cases, especially with an online record of it that will come up forever in the future.
I agree, this could really be improved. I'm going to make a github issue so I remember to see if there's a solution to this in the coming days. Thanks for the feedback!
This sounds outrageous, do they really think this is worth the bad PR? Or the lost revenue from not letting people pay with another card while they work out the issue. There has to be more to this story, this can't be the first person to miss a payment.
I haven't seen a dearth of people sharing their unpopular opinions, so I'm not sure I really agree with the sentiment that people are _actually_ self censoring in any more meaningful way than they normally do.
No one (on the Left, obviously the Right does this), including people who critique Leninists (who I assume you are referring to as MLs) for supporting “state capitalism”, calls Leninists “liberals”.

Or, at least, approximately nobody; you can find examples of anything, but it's not like a significant thing.
They're basically the only company allowing you to root a phone without loosing warranty. And it's not like other manufacturers come without FB installed as system app - yes, they're a bit worse on privacy by default, but it's not like they're the black sheep within a pile of innocents.
I agree with you. However, the point of the parent comment is that you should not use scanf to do this; it is not designed to parse a small part of a large string. And indeed, I would say it is bad for more reasons than just this performance cliff. You should really prefer to use strtod or strtol on the exact scanned token instead. Even then, these functions may be impacted by C locale settings, which means you should probably instead prefer using implementations of this algorithm outside of libc...
Ok, thanks! I didn’t know you could use the device with a disabled account.
I don't understand how someone can write this much without knowing the difference between neoliberalism and leftism.
> C and C++ code CAN be secure

Anything can be secure (and conversely anything can be insecure). The theoretical potential doesn't matter because real life is never the theoretical best case. What matters is the overall risk (is liklihood * how bad < benefit?)
Great - if you are a contributor, I'd recommend hoisting that HelloWorld example up to the home github page and talking the arriving new user through it.

I have a hard time framing what this does exactly even with the examples and need subtitles. :)

> I don't use an Apple ID on desktops at all, save for one that has its own disposable one for certain essential apps that are not available elsewhere (Apple Configurator 2 is required to restore M1 macs).

I don't get how this works. I feel like you need an Apple ID on a macbook to do the most basic of crap, and unfortunately, they make it SUPER hard to log out of one Apple ID and into another one on the same computer. You have to do it individually in 4-5 different places for it to actually work.
Really? Seems like a typical parenthetical elite, with all the connections and intrigue that go with it. His history is a standard playbook of actions benefiting himself and his people over everyone else.

Company to start building private Voyager space station with artificial gravity
On the flip side, there were municipal governments literally giving Amazon powers over taxation and spending[1] to get them to set up their headquarters in their city. I think this is quite a bit of political power myself.

Are [computers] spyware? Yes, they are (2000) should be the title.

If you use a computer, smartphone or IoT device then yes, it collects data, just as Facebook runs ads.

What's collected these days:

Your social circle,

every time you connect to the mobile network, when, which tower you connected to, tx/rx bytes, who you phoned, where the callee is located

Whether you're in a car, walking (sensors)

Whether your sleeping...(a recent Google blog post talked about a new "sleep tracking" API).

You generate data as a human, interested parties (governments) collect that and will store it for the rest of time. I suspect there's a database of every URL visited by any human in the last 20 years.

This is not surprising and should surprise nobody.
Paying Steve $100 isn't the only option.

If my alcoholic friend from college came to me because he was short on rent or needed to buy them groceries, I wouldn't give them $100. I'd offer to buy them groceries or write a check to the landlord directly.

The government can do the same thing. If someone needs healthcare or education and can't afford it, pay for the healthcare or education. A social net doesn't mean a blank check.
Their platform their choice, right? If you don't like it, don't use it..

Frankly, who cares whether this is new or not? Why does that even matter?

It's negatively affecting people (for this article, the young authors who are self-censoring), and should be fought against.
This would be egregious behavior by Apple, and the Apple Card has been out long enough that there would be numerous reports of this that gained steam by now. It's also been out long enough and distributed to enough people that someone somewhere was likely to encounter two issues with Apple at about the same time. So it's much more likely that Apple doesn't just suspend all your accounts until you pay up.
Just listened to this whilst eating dinner. I like his early point about how many data science projects fail because they fail to establish a clear value link. His points about pricing are similar to what we do but his are in a different context (insurance) and we're hoping to become much more of a turnkey solution.
Literally just talked to a friend a few days ago who did this same exact thing. He carried a balance for about 2 months and also did not have his account disabled.

It's a stupid and ridiculous critique, I agree, but yes I have seen people call MLs liberals. It is quite wild.
I'm fine with taking things calmly. But what your advocating is the ostrich approach to problems.

That's just being blind about the problems. Nuclear war is all one of the biggest existential threats to civilization. It didn't end with the cold war.

Think of all the close calls we've had. Now look forward 100 years, what's the odds it happens? 1000 years? 10000?

We're our own worst enemy and our civilization is the biggest threat to civilization.
And you know this.. how?

Or are you simply following a chain of assumptions to a place that meets your opinion of Apple?
I stopped doing this after realizing that all the extra work was just taking time away from my family. The last time I did anything out of work hours was when I told my manager that I was doing some optimization in my free time and he responded "I don't want you working on that in your free time, you could be working on this instead!". I don't plan on doing anything out of work hours again. He left, and now we're hiring more people, instead, since I can't get everything done. Win for everyone.

Perhaps so, but it sure seems to be a weapon that's used indiscriminately. It's used against (almost[1]) everyone it possibly can be used against.

That is, this guy wasn't someone that the woke were perpetually looking for a chance to attack, and he finally slipped up and they got him. This guy was just someone that the weapon could be used against, and so it was used against him.

[1] I presume that there are people who would not be destroyed for using certain racial epithets. Rappers are certainly an exception (or else they just don't care). Politicians that the woke like seem to also be exempt, but the right tries to use the same weapon against them. But the weapon doesn't seem to work when the right wields it...
oops... this post is correct: «Berlin, Dublin, London, Madrid, Paris, or Remote» (in Europe). Thanks for catching the error on the web listing!
You can't say racist words. Not even to ask "did she really say <bad word>?" because then you said it yourself and hence you are a racist. It's woke America.
Exactly. The downside (or upside) is that it is a very boring language.
Interesting to hear this, when I modeled “Steve” after two people I personally know. One is my family member, and the other is my middle school acquaintance. Their lifestyle is exactly enabled by the money they get from government. Should I believe you, or my own lying eyes?
