Unfortunately, T-Mobile, like every other mobile phone provider, has a mandatory binding arbitration clause. It does come with an opt-out provision but requires that someone have opted out within 30 days of the first time they opened their account. If a subscriber did not opt-out back then, even if the terms and conditions subsequently change, the agreement is very specific that a new opt-out opportunity is not created.

I opted-out when I signed up a decade ago but I have no proof of having done that other than a website I barely remember visiting. They do not display my opt-out status anywhere and customer service claims they have no access to know whether or not I did.
I don't disagree with you — Both theoretically and in reality where success means forking over your money to a massive corporation in order to shut your kids up. Do I sound cranky? :-)
Me three. I definitely have opted out of analytics and ad tracking before, but I just rechecked my settings in the T-Mobile app and both were enabled. What a slimey thing for them to do.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a better cell carrier in the US?
Hertz explicitly stated that shareholders were highly likely to get absolutely nothing. I think it's also highly obvious to even retail investors that this is an incredibly risky bet with potential for a total loss. I don't think there's a strong argument here that buyers didn't know what they were getting in to.

Besides, how is this different than any other shareholder selling their stock, also knowing full well it is entirely likely to be worthless?

I've been reading Jason Hickel's book "Less is More" [1], which talks a bit about energy use, in general, and how it must be reduced, regardless of what technologies we wind up with. And one of his points is examining how much energy is just flat-out wasted. ~50% of food is just wasted, for example—whether because it's ugly, or left in a refrigerator too long, and rots. Think about how most American cities are designed, and how it's just normal for most Americans to own and drive personal vehicles for hours each day. Those resources and the energy needed to extract those resources is largely just unnecessarily wasted.

Consider countries like Costa Rica, Finland, Taiwan, etc., where quality of life is better than in the US. Life expectancy is higher. Infant mortality is lower. Education is better. And they need a tiny fraction of the energy the U.S. does. Clearly there's room for a lot of improvement with how we use energy.

Even though it is supposedly "two different systems", they still manage to interact in annoying ways.

First, you can't use the same email to sign up with the prepaid system that you used for the postpaid system. I'm not sure what people do who only have one email address.

Second, assuming you keep the same phone number when you switch from postpaid to prepaid, once you login with your second email to you prepaid account and associate that phone number with it, you can no longer login to the postpaid account.

If you try to login to the postpaid account by phone number, it knows that is no longer a T-Mobile postpaid number, so it does not work. If you try to login by email, that works, but then you get stuck at a screen asking you to provide your T-Mobile phone number (and it means T-Mobile postpaid phone number).

Frankly, if I had known this beforehand I probably would not have went with T-Mobile prepaid. I probably would have went with Mint, which is a T-Mobile MVNO. My T-Mobile prepaid plan is $15/month with 2 GB of data. If you pay for a year at a time, Mint has a $15/month plan with 4 GB of data.

The only reason I went with T-Mobile is I assumed that since I was going from T-Mobile to T-Mobile, there would be no need to change SIMs and port my number. I'd just be billed differently.

Nope, new SIM and a number port.

Mint also handles data better than T-Mobile as far as I can see.

I've got WiFi at home, and most of the places I go to when not home either have their own free WiFi or there is an Xfinity hotspot near which is free to me since I have Xfinity internet, so almost never use even a gig of cellular data.

But it is nice to have as a backup. Last summer, for example, there was an accident that messed up lines on a nearby utility pole, taking out my internet. It took a couple days for Comcast to get that fixed and I relied on my mobile phone hotspot.

As far as I can see with my T-Mobile prepaid...once I hit 2 GB in a month, that's it. There doesn't seem to be any way to purchase additional data. With Mint, you can by extra data.

In short, T-Mobile prepaid is essentially like a T-Mobile MVNO, but not a very good one (no mobile app, can't add extra data on demand), and due to their systems sharing some data with T-Mobile postpaid, switching to them is harder for T-Mobile postpaid customers than it is for customers of any other carrier.
> This vulnerability affects platforms with case-insensitive filesystems with support for symbolic links, when certain clean/smudge filters are configured globally (e.g. Git LFS).

Can we get the title changed to "on macOS and Windows?"

I was worried for a second, but this is meaningless.
Before Windows XP, any application could open a file with a case-sensitive flag to request the operating system to not do any case folding. Starting with XP, the same feature exists but requires a registry key set (and a reboot) to instruct the kernel to allow case-sensitive operations.

Starting with Windows 10, the aforementioned key still works, but there's also a per-directory case-sensitive flag that forces all DOS and Windows programs to have case-sensitive operations unconditionally. This is made to great effect in both WSL1 and Cygwin.
Nuclear energy is very eco-friendly. Even when it catastrophically melts down / explodes Chernobyl-style -- the outcome is creation of "no humans allowed" nature reserves (exclusion zones), which are sorely needed.
Distributed computing. Customer's electricity is free for you, so whatever you manage to mine, is pure profit (and invisible to IRS if you're clever).

Higher interest rates will hurt the consumer economy and asset markets. We’ve been living in a bubble for a long time, and will need to inflate the currency to get through it.

That’s one of the reasons the previous administration’s “America First” bullshit was so dangerous... acting as the worlds source of money gives the US a strategic advantage, and squandering it can evaporate that advantage in a short period.
As someone who spends a fair few weeks a year in hospital, the idea of internal hospital security cameras being connected to the internet at all is absolutely fucking horrifying. It's people at their most vulnerable, and FTA it says it was even cameras aimed at the beds, not just hallways and public areas.

The fact that ANY internet-connected camera system can be considered HIPAA compliant is ridiculous. Anyone who's had any exposure to the internet in the last 20 years has seen dozens of stories of cloud-connected cameras being exposed online... baby cameras, security cameras, etc. Combine that with the number of big hacks increasing, and the idea of any internet-connected camera being "secure/private" should basically be laughed at.

What will happen? Nothing. The hackers will be blamed, not the managers/executives who thought this was a good idea in the first place, or the multiple tiers of people who are responsible for security in these companies.
It's barely even a joke to me anymore -- it's just too real for me to laugh.

(Cache invalidation is essentially the same problem as managing mutable state -- "Out of the Tar Pit" frames mutable state as either essential or incidental, the latter being rederivable in principle from essential state. Incidental mutable state is no more and no less than a cache, and usually one with an informal and undocumented invalidation policy.)

(And naming things has a very real technical counterpart in addressing, which comes up obviously in networking, but you can also see its shadows in quite a lot of concerns around architecture and modularity.)

You've just described in very basic terms how linear downsampling works (filter -> decimate). It's orders of magnitude more expensive than what is described in the paper, and a crappy sinc interpolator (equivalent to zeroing FFT bins) is not going to be much improvement over the nonlinear approaches described - either objectively in terms of signal degradation due to ripple effects or subjectively, as the paper has explored.
My understanding of the parent and grandparent comments are that they are lamenting that boys are being diagnosed and/or dosed with ADHD medication just because they aren't given time and space to work out their energy. So schools and society are dealing with fidgety unfocused boys by giving them false diagnosis and inappropriate medication.

This is all distinct from people who actually really have ADHD and in which case medications can be appropriate.
Yep. I hate interviews as much as everyone else but I'll take grinding Leetcode or Interview Cake for a month or two over having to deal with law school and the bar, for example.
There are many options for case-insensitivity on Linux. The common one would be FAT, which can't handle symbolic links, so that is moot. There is also ext4 and ZFS that can have case-insensitive modes enabled (they aren't by default), which do support symbolic links. ntfs-3g also has an option to mount as case-insensitive (though said option can actually subtly break access to an NTFS volume, since NTFS itself is always case-sensitive and it's just the OS's VFS layer that pretends otherwise).

Digestion doesn't work like that. A great deal of food is not fully broken down by digestion. In fact, many functions of the human body rely on various nutrients/whatever surviving their passage through the gut.

Most, but not all collagen is broken down into collagen peptides in the gut. Most of those collagen peptides are then broken down into amino acids. But not all collagen peptides are broken down, and the peptides that remain can enter the bloodstream where they can be utilized as needed.

(The collagen that doesn't get broken down in the gut tends to come out the other side of the digestive tract intact, because unlike collagen peptides, collagen is too large to enter into the bloodstream and there are no organs after the intestines that can make direct use of collagen.)
The British government opposed the creation of the State of Israel and its armies fought alongside the armies of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan during the 1948 war in an attempt to destroy the state. The US disavowed the 1948 partition plan, which in part led to the Arab and British invasion. The country that provided military support to the nascent Jewish state was not the capitalist West that had previously exerted military authority over the region: it was the USSR under Stalin, as part of an effort to destabilize the British. The USSR was in fact the first country to recognize the State of Israel (ironically, given later alliances in the Middle East). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union_and_the_Arab%E2...

The OMEMO killer feature is that it can deal with clients that are offline. Unfortunately it needs access to cryptographic state stored on a server to do that. So it can't be used in a generic way like OTR. In the case of OMEMO it uses a generic XMPP persistent data feature to store that state. So OMEMO causes a requirement for a particular feature enabled on the server ... which is slightly tacky in the XMPP world.

You go out each day and pigeons have shat (pooped) on your car.

Today you go out and there's a pigeon sitting on the branch over your car, you scare it away.

Your friend is like "what did you do that for, you have no evidence this pigeon poops on cars!".

Your [asdfasgasdgasdg] position is "this pigeon might be fine" the OP's position appears to be [or at least, mine is] "pigeons are probably going to poop on my car". You're saying his position is insubstantiated ...

It's the difference between treating Google as unique, and treating them as a member of a class of businesses. It's not insubstantiated, it's just a different form of substantiation. If all advertising businesses the OP has dealt with before were underhanded then your position looks to them like "today is unique, maybe the sun won't rise".

tl;dr you can substantiate a position based on general behaviours of items in a class, it's not necessarily wrong, and can be just a different model.

>Your first comment was phrased in present tense and was about current Israeli aggression.

What about Israel regularly attacking the Syrian territory near its capital using Lebanese airspace without permission and allegedly using civilian aircraft to shield its warplanes from return fire? Yes, Israel and Syria are formally in a state of war, but so are Russia and Japan.

Iranian forces on the Syrian soil pose a threat to Israel? Sure. But they stay there with permission from the internationally recognized government (does not matter if you like it or not), so those strikes is a clear act of aggression against Syria and violation of its sovereignty.

And I haven't even touched the Golan Heights, continued occupation of which is clearly illegal under the international law. But who cares about the international law if it's your best buddy in the region, right? You may as well recognize its sovereignty over the territory with zero repercussions.
The analogy doesn't apply. If you want to judge software by metrics, judge the code, not developers. The code does the same thing, over and over. Auto workers did/do the same thing, overr and over. Developers don't.
That is true. I guess what I meant to say is that mobile/manufactured are considered personal property separate from the land, while modular is considered attached to the parcel in the same way that site-built homes are. One result of this is that for manufactured, lenders have much more restrictive terms. Typically 10-15 years max, min 30% down, and a significantly higher interest rate.

Another factor that reinforces your conclusion (you can't prove who did or didn't buy them) is that a smart botmaster would have their fake reviewers also review random businesses that did not pay them.

Yes, but no sensible people use case-insensitivity on Linux, and the amount of other people that do in a relevant context can probably be measured with four digits.

Besides which, stop marginalizing the 5 civil libertarians you insensitive clod.

(The Aphorism goes: Make a country where witch hunts are illegal, then the population will be 5 civil minded libertarians and a million witches).

Of course nobody wants to discuss that the 5 civil minded libertarians might have a point, and the unsaid snicker that reverbrates in the ensuing silence is that if you make something easier, you select for it, therefore one should not make undesirable things easier. Therefore the implication is left that the one being persuaded is too dim to realize the consequences of their decision.

This goes completely out the window when one takes into account that there may be a legitimate, though unpleasant need to tolerate the existence of something unpleasant due to the greater damage that could result from doing something drastic.

Not saying I disagree with the sentiment, but I think there are other environmental impacts to consider besides just climate change. Hydroelectric dams have in many cases destroyed complete ecosystems. There have been case studies of how getting rid of existing hydroelectric dams have revitalized otherwise decimated wildlife populations. Check out the Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River in Maine as an example.

> his job is mainly to teach you stuff

I see the role of a teacher as someone who helps you learn, rather than someone who only teaches you things.

If a student finds a particular method or approach easier to comprehend, shouldn't the teacher adapt to that rather than forcing you to use the "correct" method?

If a teacher is dogmatic in their approach, I would call that poor teaching.

For those relying on babel - what are the options?

One thing I haven't seen yet is support for SCSS and CSS Modules. It looks like projects on those would need to switch to emotion+styled-components or styled-system, which would be a big move.

If anyone uses relay, I started an issue here about using it with next-gen bundlers like esbuild: https://github.com/facebook/relay/issues/3319

For those who don't know, relay is a graphql system by facebook. It seems dependent on babel (to my knowledge?) Two developments on this front:

1. @sciyoshi built an esbuild proof of concept for relay: https://gist.github.com/sciyoshi/34e5865f2523848f0d60b4cdd49...

2. Meanwhile, the compiler has been being quietly rewritten in rust: https://github.com/facebook/relay/tree/master/compiler. They're also claiming that it will include type generation.
Is this pretty much a drop in replacement for babel-loader or does it lack certain features?

Edit: Kind of. It was really simple to switch over and build. But the optimizer example actually makes my output much larger than the webpack default settings. Also it can't seem to handle the "implicitly assume I have React in scope for each JSX file."

It felt maybe twice as fast, but not 10-100x to really game change my dev loop.
