I don’t disagree with comment guidelines. Their platform, their rules. But my point is if it was my platform, I wouldn’t moderate it any more than the law requires: Imminent threats of violence, illegal pornography, libel, etc. I guess I would probably go beyond and ask people not to Dox others, and ask others not to bully or disparage one another. I find it no different from two people discussing communism in a private bar or restaurant, provided they are not harassing other customers

Ultimately, as a business owner, it’s not my (our?) job to direct culture. In fact it is kind of disturbing someone with enough money could change society to their whims.

> Apple can shutdown your account for owing money

Owing money to whom is the question.

Apple can't shut down your account for owing money to Bank of America. Or for owing money to Goldman Sachs for a credit card not associated with Apple. In the case of Apple Card, who is the money owed to, Apple or Goldman Sachs? The latter is supposed to be the bank.

Weird. I had a different, but similar issue -- also related to a purchase of an M1 laptop. No Apple Card involved, though.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up, dcurtis.
The legal question is definitely interesting, but I don't see how it would be unethical to use the most powerful set of signals available. The situation seems to me a bit similar to how grocery stores and cafes package what's essentially the same product under a large range of price points to let the more price-sensitive customers self-select.

If I find anything unethical, it's knowingly continuing the practise of writing job postings that put one group of people at a clear and documented disadvantage.

Wow, so because of this one example you conclude "So the Chinese are no worse than the Americans and, apparently, the Japanese in this regard."

You are saying that if you can find a single example of X happening in domain A and a single example of X happening in domain B, then "apparently" A and B must be "no different" with respect to X. People are murdered in Japan. People are murdered in Brazil. Thus Japan is no different than Brazil with respect to murders.

Please please tell me that you are just being inflammatory and that this "find one example" criteria isn't how you go about making assessments of things.

As the article says, it does account for it. It just can't account for unknown constant asymmetric latency.

what does it mean for your clock to be "correct"? If you need your time to be precise to more than a few 100ms you probably shouldn't be getting it from random NTP servers over unknown connections, but for most people that's an acceptable error.

So would you father have respected someone who kept his word and judged a man by his color by not selling a house to him? Or would he have respected someone who willfully broke an unforceable agreement to discrimintate on the basis of race? I couldn't tell from your answer.

If I sign a contract with a non-compete clause in CA, where it's unenforceable, then move to TX with the same job, is that clause now enforceable?

If so, then how is it unethical to sign the contract?

I'd also need a new credit card, I'm pretty sure they link accounts via shared CC. And even then, I'm pretty sure they still link accounts via other means. Did I link my gcp email in my android gmail app? Did I use the same IP address for both accounts? Or any of the thousand ways google has to know two accounts belong to the same person.

Honestly, creating a second google account might itself increase the chances of getting banned. Nobody knows with Google, and that's the problem.

Rust is more complex than C. It's not a controversial statement.

You're arguing past that, saying that Rust is more ergonomic, or has more built-in functionality, or is more cross-platform, or has one true package manager, etc. All of that may be true but it doesn't make Rust simpler than C.

In any event, if Rust wants to take over the world but disdains "weird architectures" or "dying" hardware, well, we'll see how that plays out for them.

I hope we do get safer software one way or another, so I wish the Rust folks well. That's why I'm pointing out that this is lousy politicking. I'm not trying to hate Rust.

> As an example, type anything(for instance, '.conf') + up arrow, and there you see all the completions (for instance, 'less /etc/postgresql/10/main/pg_hba.conf' shows for me) based on the shell history. You can then cycle through them with up/down arrows. It is the same as ctrl+R in bash, but so discoverable and plain. I found tons of similar details in fish.

Fun anecdote: my school's crappy homebrew distribution had a bash plugin that did exactly that (it was the distro's one redeeming feature, honestly).

After I moved to other distros, I missed that feature for years (I hate Ctrl+R).

Looking for plugins that implemented it was how I found fish, and I never looked back.
That's ludicrous, misleading, and extremely unhelpful almost to the point of dishonesty. Look for the documents leaked by Glenn Greenwald and informatin on PRISM.

An orbital collision would not cause an object to change direction 90 degrees. Satellites are not billiard balls. They are traveling at ten thousand miles per hour plus. Collisions at that speed result in two debris clouds that are largely traveling in approximately the same direction as before.

I would hazard a guess that you saw two objects that appeared to cross paths at the time one was disappearing and the other was appearing. Could be planes or satellites. Both can abruptly appear or disappear as they enter or exit shadow, or as they turn and reflect light in a different direction.
In machine learning lingo, you'd have better 'embedding vectors' for the world at large.

Yes, this is very important. We need to break up and regulate the large firms to make room for competition. Many of the benefits of capitalism are actually destroyed by monopolies.

We also need to continue to regulate monopolies, because if we lapse again and let the mergers flow we’ll be right back where we are again. And again.

dcurtis had said in the comments on the other submission that he would write up the details, so I guess this is more like a follow-up than a dupe.
Huh. I've had dreams "in Russian", Greek, Latin, Japanese, and Arabic. I know none of these languages beyond a little counting or a few words, but they seemed very real at the time!

I still think that being able to crack an improvised joke based on the situation one is in is a stronger sign of fluency. But it rests on similar assumptions: having internalized the basic structures of the language to the point where you can spend your cognitive resources on execution.
We already have the legislation that makes what they do illegal. We just need to enforce it.

I wasn't aware of that, but are you aware that very little time has passed? The post was written based on the the incomplete information available to the author. Do you expect the author to have rewritten everything based on the accounts suddenly having been restored after the post was published? Most likely Apple itself scrambled to reactive the accounts quickly when they saw this going viral. Maybe the author will have a follow-up later.

If you want the ability to pipe commands more natively, Kakoune does that. It also improves on vi's commands syntax, and allows multiple selections.

I switched to Kakoune after trying to find something more Acme-like for the terminal. In fact, I still use all the scripts that I wrote for Acme. To insert the results of a command, you can use `! <command>`. To pipe, highlight and use `| <command>`.

Can someone explain what "proactive I/O is?"
Totally agree knowledge worker's brains need time to percolate on problems, tapping into the subconscious definitely leads to better outcomes on one individuals thought.

However when it comes to organizations, deep thought reaches its limit because one person can't synthesize the whole thing alone and you need to operate as a team. In this environment there's no limit to the amount of wheel-spinning that can happen when you have the wrong people thinking about the wrong things and giving them more space to think just confuses things more. In this case, setting some guardrails in terms of timelines, strategic business, product and technical constraints, and other leadership guidance are key in effective execution. The article does a poor job distinguishing these positive forcing functions from clueless management browbeating people into burnout out of sheer arrogance and ignorance.
I saw a similar thing when I was a child, during daytime though.

A bright white spot moving over the blue sky and suddenly doing a 90 degree turn. It really scared me at the time.

Or like the UK did it - separating the service from the infrastructure. Yes, it's not ideal and has issues of its own, but the rolled out infrastructure can be used by many competing providers in that model. Actually it's in the interest of the infra provider that it happens.

In this same thread people are reporting a similar experience when their PayPal account was unlinked. Even more evidence that Apple Card is primarily incidental.

In addition, the reason in the article is a speculation qualified with “it appears.”
And timbre is itself technically defined as all the aspects of a sound that are not pitch, loudness, or location.

So, it doesn't really explain anything. It's kinda circular. Timbre is itself the word for "sounding different" (without being different in pitch, loudness, or location).

My simple answer: "different frequency spectrum + consistent patterns of change over time in spectrum, loudness, and/or pitch"

E.g. it's not the loudness of trumpet vs piano, but it is partly the fact that trumpet doesn't consistently have the loud to quiet fade timbrel temporal pattern of piano
I used a Compass agent when buying my condo but had no idea they were masquerading as a "tech" company. Their online presence was a lot better than other agencies in the area which is probably what sealed the deal for me, and FWIW the agent ended up being great.

The real estate industry is interesting since it's such an old practice and basically none of the old players (Keller Williams, Re Max, etc) capitalized on the tech boom from what I can see. Instead, companies like Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, and now Compass, all swooped in and established a presence. The MLS database is the last hurdle and it's inevitable that will solved in the next ten years IMO.
I mean that has been the norm for almost all laptops prior to USB-C, being only able to charge on one side of your laptop? Due to there usually being a proprietary power port.

>In your BofA card, the credit card could decline the charge if it put the holder over their credit limit.

Yes, but when charges are declined, merchants don't ship the products.

This is a weird case, because it was a retroactive charge not explicitly authorized by the card holder. That kind of thing rarely happens.

> For all we know, that might be why the Apple Card charge was declined.

What do you mean "For all we know"? The whole thing was explained in the article, we know exactly what happened.
Please, educate yourself, what follows are my observations, not opinions, presented in a provocative way.

First of all, radical alt-righters aren't milquetoast cuckservatives (which is the majority of rightwingers actually caring about kapernick, safe and non-risky way to express your opinions about a thing that is at most just a result of rotten system), so to speak. They more often than not see the police just as a form of evil government. Respecting heritage and family rather than inanimate objects is also one of their main ideas.

Radical right hates cuckservatives more than lefties. They have conserved nothing, better vote honest communists over them since the outcome is pretty much the same anyway. Maybe those commies would even have the balls to actually break the oppressive shitshow known as FAANG into small pieces, something that Trump was too weak to accomplish (or maybe he was just busy sending money to Israel, we may never know the truth...).
> Owing money to whom is the question.

Today I can put an App Store charge on my Chase card and do a chargeback making up some stupid reason that I never got my app in which the chargeback would be successful. It's not entirely out of the question that Apple would lock my account until that charge is resolved.

Similarly, Dustin could have used a Chase card to buy the M1 Mac, supposedly "tradein" without sending the device back, Apple erroneously crediting that CC, and then Apple locking down the account until that's resolved.

Both situations result in owing Apple and both are totally plausible situations.

Well the blog post states they use a generative model. If that means what I think that means, they are doing in audio what folks have done in images which is sketch where a rabbit should be and have the model generate a rabbit there. Great encoding because the notion of 'rabbit-ness' is in the model not the data.

Again, assuming I understand correctly, that isn't a "trans coder" that is "here is a seed, generate what this seed creates." kind of thing.

Another way to look at it would be to think about text to speech. That takes words, as characters, and applies a model for how the speech is spoken, and generates audio. You could think of that as really low bit rate audio but the result doesn't "sound" like the person who wrote the text, it sounds like the model. If instead, you did speech to text and captured the person's timbre and allophones as a model, sent the model and then sent the text, you would get what they said, and it would sound like them.

It is a pretty neat trick if they are doing it that way since it seems reasonably obvious for speech that if you could do it this way then the combination of model deltas and phonemes would be a VERY dense encoding.

They don't. You can use Aqara-branded zigbee devices just fine with Home Assistant (open source), no propietary cloud services required.
