Years ago I had "Fraud" detected on my Apple ID. Because of this, Apple locked my account and disabled all of my paid applications. I'm a pilot and this included an iPad program called ForeFlight which was critical for flying. I had to wipe my iPad, create a new Apple ID, and pay the $300 subscription for another copy of ForeFlight. About a week later my ID was reactivated with no explanation.

I'm assuming someone hacked into my Apple ID, but not sure. I was never told.

> How did YAML get so complicated

YAML has both more syntactical options, and broader semantic coverage; particularly, it includes the concept of schemas defining YAML profiles.

Also, the YAML spec has much more informational content. Examples are a stark illustration: RFC 8259 has 5 example JSON documents (3 of which are simple scalar values). The preview chapter of the YAML 1.2 spec has 28 examples, only a handful of which are single scalars.
> People with no money problems don't need anyone.

> Poor people know who to trust because they've had to trust them before.

I feel like this is what's been contributing to collapsing communities in the US more than political tensions or whatever other specter one could point to. The lack of real, repeated need of others. A relative abundance on wealth leads to using money-based services to fix issues instead of relationships (which have cumbersome overheads). That leads to the creation of more services and until we've generally forgotten how to have a community, only services and consumers.

How do you whether Xiaomi's spyware doesn't bypass Blockada ?
All this speculation about whether or not it's true, or what might or might have happened. If only there was some format one could use on the internet that was useful for discussing something in longer-than-240-character statements. If only.

I canceled Twitter so that I wouldn't have to see these tempests in teacups. Once you do this, your eyes open to just how much of our news cycle is being carried by Twitter, and how much it bleeds over into everything else now. Half the "front page" of Imgur is Twitter hot takes now, so I don't go there any more either. Half of serious news articles seem to either be ABOUT a Tweet, or carry at least one Twitter quote to further its narrative. I think this encroachment should alarm everyone.

I mean, this example was pretty poor because it combines him being an asshole and his interpretation of the word "drug", Dictionaries disagree with him.

Thanks for the response. It's definitely a tough question on what is fair.
It requires both hard work and luck, and neither will really come without the other. To discredit either one playing part in success seems to be looking at only half of the picture
Something similar recently happened in my kids school district.

In a staff meeting they were talking about what books were and were not allowed to be taught from. A teacher brought out a book and said roughly "So this book, written by a black author, stocked in our school library I can't teach in class because it contains the word n**."

Cue rich white people fighting over who was the most offended by this in our school district that is is ~1% black, and most of whom have fled nearby schools that were majority latinx.

> Honestly, is there anything at 10 USD/EUR per month?

Well you can have an Intel Atom N2800 / 4GB DDR3 / 2Tb HDD dedicated server at OVH for 8 EUR / month.

And, like all their entry level servers, it's 100 Mbps max, which really hurts when you've got fiber at home.

But in some cases they can be convenient.

They have a lot of different offers at various prices (Kimsufi / So you start / OVH: all the same company basically).
I think this is true when someone is speaking--liars often try to hide behind details which they think makes their stories believable and explains the discrepancies that they see in their own fabricated story. But I have the opposite perception of this narrative, I think it was written with the intention of being precise, and either his background as a journalist or the public nature of the issue are reasons enough to explain why he wrote with the detail that he did. I often try to write with precision and detail too, and it certainly doesn't mean I'm lying when I do.

We nearly had something like this happen to Fastmail many years ago:

https://fastmail.blog/2014/04/10/when-two-factor-authenticat...

Scary stuff. Basically we had 24 hours to dispute via email when a fax was sent to our registrar with a faked up Australian company registration and a fake passport asking to remove 2FA and change the owner email to an address @qq.com.

At the same time, our hostmaster email address had been signed up to hundreds of non-double-opt-in mailing lists, so that there was lots of noise for this email to be lost in.

We had to fight very hard to be allowed to see the fax that was allegedly from us, so that we could see what they had done.
I believe they've started requiring phone numbers and some form of SMS two-factor authentication on new accounts.

(I've gone through this recently when I created a new, separate account.)
Oof, yeah, relatively low ping is important. Not like FPS important, but still important.
I’m not disagreeing with you but I would say that to make this less prevalent the in-group should also shun its use internally. If you sell something as part of popular culture, don’t be surprised if you see it used in popular culture.
Perhaps you are not thinking faster, instead you're doing an excellent job at focusing all of your resources on one problem.

It is the sum of all your thought that is (apparently) fixed, so moving all that thought to one task will have that single task complete faster. It doesn't change how much "thought" you could do at once overall though.
I don't like your take, either, as it suggests we shouldn't push young people to make good decisions where possible.

I think what both approaches miss, is the biggest underlying problem is Cost Disease:

https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/02/09/considerations-on-cost...

Reeling in out of control price increases on the most important expenses like health care, education and housing would do more to improve the lot of the poor than any redistribution scheme.

Now, redistribution may be a necessary part of lowering costs. Like establishing government run health care to control cost increases and investing in public universities to radically reduce or eliminate tuition.

This approach helps everyone, but disproportionately helps the poor. And controlling costs will help the poor more in the long run, I believe, than any redistribution scheme that doesn't address skyrocketing costs.
I for one had heard nothing of this story before seeing this article (though I'm neither a resident nor citizen of America, so this is not that meaningful). We also don't know what the story would have been had he apologized as they wanted (again, I'm not saying he had any obligation to do so! His reputation was rightfully more important to him than the desires of the NYT PR team).

Also, I don't agree that the context is wholly exculpatory and makes this a complete non issue. He was wrong in using this type of language with this particular audience, even if in a NYT article it would have been perfectly acceptable. He was misunderstood by the teens and seemed shocking to them, despite how he (or I, or you) views his own words. It would have actually been right to apologize to them, as he clearly failed in communicating the nuance he was trying to communicate. That's not to say that he is a racist! But he obviously misjudged his audience and caused them more harm than good with his words, even if he had the best intentions behind them. Especially since he was payed to be there and teach them, this is not some case of some teens finding someone's blog and taking offense at what they think is being said there.
> 2. How much can one reasonably expect to earn per user per month or year in your experience? (My extension is by no means mission critical but it solves a (simple) problem rather elegantly IMHO).

There's no way to tell for sure! It really depends on the value the extension provides, your market, exposure and reviews on the Chrome store, etc.

I can say that one of the extensions that uses ExtensionPay is a really simple utility that allows switching between recently used tabs in Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/alt-%20-q-switch-r...) but users love it and it makes a surprising amount of money!

But all that is ultimately speculative for your extension. One reason I made ExtensionPay was to lower the barrier to making paid extensions enough so instead of speculating you could just try it out and see what happens!

> 1. Is there a socially acceptable path to go from free to non-free?

From what I've seen there will be a very loud but very small minority of users that will get angry and leave bad reviews. I think if you try to make these users happy (maybe by giving them free access?) and let the others know why you're asking them to pay then it will go alright. Here's what I wrote about charging for a previously-free JavaScript library: https://github.com/Glench/fuzzyset.js#license

How about a reality hat: the world does not offer everyone equal chances. You live in a country surrounded by fences and border patrol exactly to keep those that were less lucky from trying to get some of that luck.

Even when born in the country, there are better and worse schools, better and worse social infrastructure, a billion different glass ceilings according to color, gender, age, accent or faith.

Your comment perpetuates the eternal lie that everyone can rise to the top, but we all know that some have a 50% chance and others a 0.0005% chance to 'make it'. It's absurd to blame the kid with a bad school and no breakfast for not living up to the highest moral standards and take all the right decisions when they have probably barely to no good advice, guidance or role models.

Its easy to judge, but try to empathise. That's not a policy hat, it's acknowledging reality.
Legitimate interest can be for anything (user, business, society as a whole) but it's still highly questoinable whether sharing peoples PII for ads alone is a legitimate interest (It's not clear it isn't either - the text is deliberately vague). What's clear is that you can't show people "by entering you accept to". You have to show them an opt out and if they opt out they need to get a service that is as good as if they opt in. Binary choice shouldn't help - if that has been a judgement it's very dubious imho.
>That never fails to completely throw financial institutions for a loop; they can't conceptualize it.

They can conceptualize it. No one has come up with an automated way to adequately predict someone's ability to repay a loan other than the current credit reporting system that greatly factors in one's history of repaying previous loans. If you have a better idea, it's probably worth a lot of money.

>Ironically it means that if I was to apply for a credit card it would be very difficult to get it.

It wouldn't be very difficult to get. You would just have to submit proof of your assets and possibly history of expenses.
Are the speech models sufficiently generic across all languages?
I tend to think trying to speed up thought in general is a fool’s errand.

However, as others have noted, there are clear exceptions, and training a pathway does indeed speed up thinking on that pathway.

I’ll highlight another example of thinking speed changing:podcasts. Given that I have to listen and comprehend most words, and listened-to words use the same pipeline as thought words (I can’t listen and think words at the same time; at best I can context switch quickly) I think it’s reasonable to say that listening (with comprehension) is thinking.

When I first started listening to podcasts, I started at 1.25x. Then 1.5x. Then 2x. Now I’m at 2-2.5x on everything. I’m disappointed when things like YouTube don’t let me push past 2x (a silly limitation you should fix if any YouTube engineers are reading).

It seems I did train myself to do general-purpose symbolic thinking at 2x. Recall is pretty good, too. I tend to go on walks while I listen, so I get a natural IRL memory palace effect.

Which begs the question: is thinking rate fixed? Probably not actually. I think people tend to underestimate what is possible until they see/experience someone doing it; a self-imposed tyranny of low expectations.
Isn‘t VoIP at such low data rates already dominated by the overhead of UDP, IP and whatever lower layer? Multiplexing it with a low-bandwidth video stream would be possible, though.

I was thinking this could be most relevant for something like digital wireless transmissions.

You don't even need payment problems, someone can call into the support and have your account disabled.

My mom's Apple account was disabled with the same message, thought it was billing related as well. It turned out that someone with a similar surname had called in and requested their account to be disabled, but the call had cut out. The support rep happily connected the two dots and disabled my mom's account.
I dont understand, what was wrong here?
Not that I disagree with the notion that "you can't arbitrarily set rent prices", but this is an incredibly simplistic example and does nothing to address literal rent seeking.

If the pandemic has shown us anything, it is that grocery store workers, meat packers, and the supply chain workers that get food (and toilet paper) to our tables are far more important to society than most high paid white collar and knowledge jobs. Does anybody care how well rested the brain surgeon is when you can't even buy produce or rice or meat at the grocery store? Do these employees not have a right to live 20 minutes from their place of employment?

There are ways to address these issues without devolving to some simplistic "capitalism or socialism" (with no in-between) argument.
>>So what is the difference?

Your expectation that a policy or rule would be enforced evenly across the organization..

I think at this point it is clear that Big Tech do not have any policy, rule or terms of service that is enforced with anything that could be reasonably be considered "uniform"
> So far the only big projects using .NET have been Bing (of course lol) and StackOverflow

Those are definitely not the only "big projects" using .NET, just the biggest with HN awareness. Scott Hanselman calls it the "Dark Matter Developers" phenomenon: .NET is used in a huge number of places in Enterprise development that often isn't "sexy" enough to grab HN headlines, but gets work done. How many of those are "big projects" is generally under-reported, but certainly a larger number than is obvious reading the average HN thread.

What if you are traveling and Apple decides they really need another identifier, and locks you out of your stuff?
This is not a false claim. I didn't miss a payment, but complained about a $10 WaPost recurring charge via their chat support and they went ahead and locked my account (I think they were trying to be helpful but this fucked things up royally). This was many months ago. The support has been nice, but completely neutered. I have screenshots. I've spoken to 8 people and no one can figure it out. I can't log in, pay, or close the account. The only way I still know there is some account in the ether is I get notifications on my phone that I'm being charged interest and letters in the mail I'm being charged interest.

For the record, I always pay the balance in full and until this I loved the UI and the product. But boy what a fucked up support experience and they should probably end relationship with Goldman and just stick to apple pay. There are about 6 points of total failure in the support experience. I could only spend so many hours holding their fucking hands before I had to give up.

I emailed TCook about this on 11/10/2020.

I greatly regret signing up for Apple Card and please DON'T. It was the best card until it stopped working, then it's the worse card I've ever had. I stick to Apple Pay now with an amex.

I'd also recommend using PayPal for recurring charged. 1 click to see all recurring charges and 1 click to cancel. Apple needs this ASAP.
