I wonder more about their routers. For their specs they are extremely price competitive. Their AX6000 features a 2,5GBE Port, 4*4 5GHZ Antennas with supposedly 4800mbit/s max throughput over all clients for 120€ with shipping to the EU. The Netgear Orbi Pro is the only AP I could find that is similarly equipped and costs a handsome 400€.

The mostly chinese and russian reviews on YouTube seem to show those numbers to be at least not ouright lies, but people on the OpenWRT Forums talk about the Routers talking quite a lot back to China.

I really wish for somebody credible to do a teardown to look into these boxes.
Okinawa Flat Belly Tonic Review: Scam Supplement or Powder Tonic Recipe Works?
A problem that many agree upon, which is a nightmare that plagues women and men alike, is abdominal obesity and is difficult to get rid of easily, usually fat accumulates in this area more than in other areas of the human body, most medical scientists believe that the cause is mainly due to genetic factors, hormones, food quality, stress, sleep, and physical activity, all this is very confusing.
There is no technology possible that removes said responsibility. This is how peer to peer systems work. Your criticism is something that no peer to peer system claims to solve.
Awesome! Rolling quantiles were a major bottleneck in my work a couple years ago, so much so that I ended up removing them and using approximations instead. It'll be good to try this if I ever go back to that code.
This is just false, Rust is much easier to use than Python (just the package management situation is so much better)
Looks like a great idea. I wish that this project supported a third option: RDF data and SPARQL queries. For my work I almost never touch property graphs and Cyper, but use RDF and SPARQL everyday.

Anyway, I am happy to see this project because it fills a great use case.

The objection is that spending more time thinking about something doesn’t guarantee more accurate responses. Often people’s first reaction is correct and they second guess themselves into making the wrong choice, thus so called shortcuts are just as valid as any other kind of thinking.

For the muscle memory example try really paying attention to walking and your going to be less stable.
Retro computing communities are pretty active at the moment. You should be able to get copies of software via disk drive emulation. There’s various SD Card options out there for the C64, so I imagine the Amiga is similar. I was playing with a racket c64 compiler the other day, so I figure the amiga has something cool.
Yeah. During the lockdown I was stuck by "chance" alone at my parents' old house, the one were I grew up. I found my old C128 (which I'd use in C64 mode all the time) and cleaned it, cleaned its disk drive, cleaned my floppies and tried them. To my surprise about 2 out of 3 were still working (they're a bit more than 30 years old). Heck, I even found a "New In Unopened Box" of 5"1/4 floppies and started making a few copies of some of the disks that were still working (out of boredom and curiosity more than to save data).
It's not about attribution. It's about learning from success, because we can't learn from luck.
If you are in the US, you may be observing a local trend rather than one representative of the whole country. It's very difficult to measure, but this site has an estimate: https://www.statista.com/statistics/555795/estimated-number-...

It shows about a 12% drop in homeless people 2007-2019. The US population overall grew just under 10%, too, so the drop on a per capita basis is higher than that. I imagine 2020 led to a large increase again, though. I also can't vet their sources without registering so take it with a grain of salt.

> How many times have they turned off your water?

Like anything else, this isn't a perfect metric. I know folks who have kept their water on all the way to eviction for non-payment.

That said, the author nails it when noting the dichotomy of "feeling broke" vs "being broke." I knew a lawyer that complained about "being broke" (feeling broke) because he "had to" sell two of his Porsches and couldn't make as many real estate investments as he would have liked to make that year.

The world isn't split into liberals and the far-right.

It's split into tolerant people and intolerant people.

Some people wear a thin veneer of tolerance to cover their intolerance. These are the people doing the canceling. These are the people you don't want to associate with anyway.

But there's still plenty of tolerant people around in society.

The virus/malware could change your $PATH or create an alias for some command that normally prompts you for your password (even sudo itself) and trick you into revealing your password to the malware. Maybe even install a keylogger depending on your OS.

Basically, if you have malware running as your own user, I'd be surprised if it couldn't find a way to trick you into typing your password to invoke sudo. Even then, it can probably do quite a bit of damage without sudo.

So then the only scenario a sudo password could possibly save me from is when I have malware already running as my user (and it's unlikely that it would help anyway due to the tricks I just mentioned). Of course everyone should do what they think is best, but personally if I were in this scenario it's pretty much game over anyway, so it's not something I'm going to worry about.
Ummm, Xaomi also has a high valuation, and Google gets called out on privacy all the time, including many times in this very discussion.

Russian Oligarchs are called that because they are about two dozen people who looted about 95% of the country's wealth and are basically a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a govt.

It seems like the issue had nothing to do with Apple Card and everything to do with an extremely overzealous defaulted payment policy at Apple Store. It seems like anyone who makes a trade-in purchase with Apple Store using a credit card that may not be a valid payment method could be at risk. Terrifying.

I think you make a good point about how this can be read uncharitably. You're right that I read it literally: a list of specific things which sound good on paper but which can lead to disparate outcomes (with links to explain how each one can be problematic). I also understand that someone who was interested only in criticizing teachers for perceived racism could weaponize this list against them. As a teacher, I have not had that experience, nor am I afraid of it. (The only criticism levied against me by "woke" people has been by students, and the criticism was immediately rejected by my superiors.) But I understand that people are afraid of it, and I know colleagues who fear that happening to them.

I personally am unbothered because this is a document for curriculum designers with real explanations of their arguments, and I doubt that it will encourage a culture-wide opposition to, for example, "right answers." I'm not sure how someone, meaning to avoid racism, would problematically de-emphasize right answers. To my mind, the only likely negative result would be ineffectual scolding. But I'm open to being proven wrong.

(Please note that one or two examples of teachers being unjustly fired is not terrible persuasive, in the same way as one or two marijuana-related deaths is not evidence that marijuana is a society-wide epidemic.)
Personally, I doubt that luck plays a major role. The bothersome part is that some people seem to assume that success is replicable if you follow some sort of recipe.

The thing is, socioeconomic status affects our outlook. It doesn't matter if you're poor, rich, or somewhere inbetween. A simple example is taking advantage of opportunities. You may be unaware that they exist, view them as being out of reach, or simply see the risk as being too high. Only one of those even imply that chance plays a role. It is also worth noting that values may play a role. Some people like to blame being poor on bad decisions. While it may be true that some decisions are bad in the sense of generating wealth, they may be good decisions in other respects. Many jobs serve have social value or serve the public good, yet are woefully under compensated. Some people will choose that path simply because they are more intersted in serving others and simply don't have the will to be selfseving.
It's times like this when I wish Apple would be more transparent with their customers. Their lock-and-key approach generally does a good job of assuaging security fears (regardless of how secure they actually are), but it obviously doesn't do a great job of resolving issues like this. Making matters worse, it's hard to tell what kind of failure this is; is it Apple's fault, or Goldman-Sachs? Either way, I hope Dustin can sort it out without losing anything critical. This whole situation raises a lot of questions, and I fear that we may never receive an answer (or much less, an explanation) from Apple.

No, I'm not saying it makes it better. I'm in fact explicitly stating that the reaction to Isabel Fall was ridiculously overblown. However that's still not true that she's banned from the industry. Just because she's a victim doesn't mean we should misrepresent the manner in which she was victimized.
I think its about seizing the opportunity once luck strikes. According to sociology its very rare to switch class. If you start out upper class and make some bad decisions you will still likely be upper class. Same with poor, you can make the right choice every time and still end up poor.

For whatever reason on my iPhone (on the latest version of iOS, hasn't been fixed in 12 months even after a restore) whenever you swipe down on an iMessage in a notification, the popup always has the "report spam" box whether or not I have the contact in my phone (which is supposed to mean that they aren't spam). I've definitely accidentally pressed it before on people I know, I suppose since they still send me messages they haven't been blacklisted.
Seems to me a combination of really poor quality[0], meandering writing by McNeil and obsession with the “cancel culture” narrative by many approaching the story is obscuring that real story here, talking McNeil at his word, is “management anti-labor negotiator leads effort to force out perennial labor negotiator who was a long time thorn in the side, and when the pretext on which that effort was founded fails to lead to the target handling the situation quite badly enough to justify firing, the details of the internal investigation (with additional embellishments designed to be provocative) conveniently leak to an outside media org, providing pretext for another round of action in which the target is finally forced out”.

If we accept McNeil’s narrative, and cut through the weeds of the meandering explanation, it seems very much to be a story of repeated attempts to find a way to leverage whatever material was available, including especially McNeil’s known prickly, defensive lack of tolerance for what he sees as BS, especially about himself, to maneuver him into a situation where he could be fired or forced to resign, not something genuinely driven by offense at him using a particular word, or disrespecting tribal shamans, or telling stories about his encounter with partially nude dancers, or any of the other incidents cited in complaints, together or separately.

[0] EDIT: arguably, some really poor quality writing on my part is obscuring my point here: in regard to McNeil’s epic, I meant “poor quality” only in terms in efficiency in conveying his side of the narrative of his being forced out for the benefit of readers looking to be informed about that, which superficially seems to be the putative intent of the piece.

Why do Wealthy Parents have Wealthy Children? [pdf]
Exactly, this is pretty much the definition of flow. It amplifies productivity on the task at hand, which seems to be one of the things the OP claims is impossible. On the other hand, even if the article is taking the banal position that your IQ doesn't change, this also seems false - your day to day cognitive ability does vary (even if the average level is stable).
Limewire had an interesting protocol for exactly this back in the day, over its Gnutella network. I don't know if it scales to search engine sizes (most things don't, especially distributed) but there's at least some prior production grade work in this space.

Edit: having just double checked it looks like Gnutella predates limewire; that's just the avenue through which I came across it.
> If you call you get no option for general assistance, if you intentionally call the wrong one to simply speak to somebody you get stonewalled looking for order numbers that don't exist

This is a trend. So many companies selling a supposedly premium experience insist on ramming you through their AI phone trees and assume knowledge of every possible reason for your call.
> Apple ID was a different department, he said, and they could only be contacted by email. He emailed them. I continued to wait.

While a step up from Google it still worries me that they hide behind email and you can't call (or live chat) and have someone on the line and stay on the line until the issue is resolved. Can't even raise a ticket to at least confirm you're being ignored, just email and hope someone shows mercy.
Why is CF distasteful?
Yeah, I hate when a financial transaction gone wrong locks me out of my personal online accounts.

I didn't accuse anyone of being dishonest; you should probably retract that.

Also, since you seem so very certain about this, I offered 10-1 odds on $100 elsewhere in the thread if it's proven Apple is doing this intentionally as a policy. Nobody took me up on it. Would you like to? Easy money, if you're right.
The real story is - why are you so comfortable giving up your consumer due process and protections by giving everything to one company? Even if the experience is incrementally better (and I don't think the experience of using an Apple CC is much better), surely it is worth diversifying your life platform?

It is alarming to me how many people would be totally comfortable living in an entire cocoon provided by Apple - watch you Apple TV, Drive your Apple Car, Pay with your Apple Car, Call with your Apple phone. Never give one company that much power over you!
Thanks for Dtrace!
>the Apple account re-activation team can only be contacted by email and the process takes at least 3-5 business days. He emailed them.

This trope of one team being unable to contact another team except via email seems to be popping up more and more in my customer service interactions - it feels like an active and intentional impediment to actually getting anything done. Why do companies do this?
Apple will also completely lock you out of all your movies, music, etc if you owe them any balance, even $1.

For some reason when you purchase something, it’s not instantly charged to your card. It takes a few days and if it doesn’t go through, they lock all your prior purchases, and demand you use a computer to remedy the situation (I was using Apple TV).

Apple is not a company that messes around when you owe them ANY money. They will shut you down with no mercy.
> By supporting freedom of association I support that company’s can ban you for saying things they don’t agree with

The US already limit companies "Right of Association" by virtue of things like Providers of Last Resort (that's the extent of my knowledge on this topic in the context of America) so it's not an alien concept.

Do you feel that the electricity company should be able to cut off your power supply because you made a blog post they don't agree with? How about your mobile phone provider? And if not, why are online services treated any differently?
Like usual you focus on the few dozen Americans that it happened to while ignoring the millions of South Americans and South Asians who were murdered for being communist. Which is the point of identity politics, and the reason why more black panthers were murdered by FBI sponsored police raids than blacks were lynched.

Particularly these days, Apple's scale and power strikes me as monopolistic. I know that's a bit of an unpopular opinion around here, but I honestly don't know what else to call it. Their negligence on the behalf of the consumer borders on intolerable, and their treatment of developers has been the topic of discussion for years now. If they continue to integrate like this, I fear they'll lose sight of the finish line.

I'm particularly nostalgic for the older days of the Mac, where integration was between my apps and my operating system, not my operating system and my life. Part of what I enjoy about computing is that it isn't all-consuming, so it strikes me as suspicious when I hear that Apple wants to take control of my finances.
Exactly! Fully agree with you pid_0.

I’m really confused.

1. There is no quick action to report as spam, so how is it even being triggered?

2. You regularly delete your conversation with your wife?

3. It seems implausible that Apple would disable someone’s iMessage account based on one person’s spam report.

Personally, I’ve never seen “report as spam” show up unexpectedly. In fact, I’m not even sure how to get it at all. AFAIK it’s only offered as an inline option when receiving a message from a new sender.
