Before defending it too strongly, take a look at their article on where the pickups are being placed [0] and in the section on Chicago zoom in on the map. It's ASTONISHING how well it lines up with the demographics. Looking through on the map, it looks like the census blocks with both ShotSpotter and >=50% white are one in CA-17 (Dunning), two in CA-60 (Bridgeport), two in CA-61 (New City), five in CA-41 (Hyde Park, University of Chicago area), five in CA-56 (Garfield Ridge) and four in CA-64 (Clearing). Those last 9 census blocks are part of a little largely-white enclave around and to the west of Midway airport and just north of the rail yards. (CA refers to Community Areas in Chicago, see [1])

I think it's notable that there are a total of 19 majority-white areas in the city with ShotSpotter tech - not with widespread installations, areas that have them at all. If you want to shoot someone in Chicago and not have it picked up by these devices, just head to Lincoln Park - looks like it's a couple miles from there to the nearest audio pickup.

Autism refers to Autism Spectrum Disorder. There is nothing wrong with using "on the spectrum" for people with ASD. There are also several usages of "Autism" by itself, so I don't know where you got the idea that it is being treated as a bad word.
I would think iPhone SE is part of "iPhone 6s and later".
Yes I have, to take your examples.

> We have to have IDs, because people might lie about who they are.

Not every country makes these mandatory. Additionally there usage is usually directly tied to risk associated with someone lying. I don’t need to prove who I am every time I sign up to a new service.

I would argue the risk of large numbers of people cheating this specific interview step is quite low.

> We have to have an entire (very expensive) criminal justice system because people might commit crimes.

Yes, a system designed to deliver justice, not punishment. In most countries that means a systems that takes extreme measures to avoid punishing the innocent, even if it means allowing some guilty to go free. A perfect example of what I mean about not punishing the innocent minority.

> We have to have locks on the doors to our homes and vehicles, because people might trespass.

People can choose not to use these. No one compels me to lock my front door, it might be unwise, but I’m not going to be denied employment because of it.

> We have to have cashiers and overly-complicated automated registers (with someone watching) because people might not want to pay for everything that they are taking out of a store.

How do these systems punish the innocent? Apart from the occasional complaint about the wrong item in the bagging area? They’ve certainly never prevented me from buying groceries.

> You show up at a closing for a new home, they want a cashier's check, not your personal one. Why? You might not actually be good for the money. Plus they do all the title work.

Again risk weighted. Also in my country we just do instant bank transfers. None of this old fashioned paper gubbins.

> Every bank has a giant safe. Every country has some weapons of war.

Again all of these things are heavily risk weighted, and cause little to no impediment to innocent parties. I’ve certainly never needed to manually open the vault at my local bank. As for war, the US is the king of defence spending.

> It's very idealistic to say "well only a few people will cheat so it's fine." It isn't, and it never has been.

It’s perfectly fine to say this. The entire world is built in the premises that a small amount of crime will always happen, and systems should be robust to it. There’s no point spending ludicrous resources trying to prevent a minuscule amount of crime. Everything is, and should be, risk weighted.

Just like when you build a distributed system you expect parts to misbehave or fail. Why would you expect any human based system to be any different?
Halium is interesting because it comes with the potential of building a pmOS Generic System Image (GSI). While this would be relying on vendor-shipped proprietary drivers and kernels, literally everything else could be Free and run on mostly any GSI-supported device with a full feature set.
If you sign your commits, you can't claim that somebody else rewrote the Git history with you as the author. Plausible deniability...
Could be, was informed (on HN) that Intel 10nm was more like Samsung 7nm and this is sort of adjusting to that.
Well, if you collect commits on a feature branch you can just create a new one with a slightly different name - all the commits on your branch are rewritable before you push it in and create a pull request (deleting and pushing it again with different history does not work for me). I often do this for rebasing, I doubt anyone would have ever noticed if I changed the authors.
No questions but one suggestion - it would be great to ease the process of making PWAs for the Linux space. My background is designer -> JS -> node -> mucking around with C/C++, and I think this would be a great way to seed experimentation and creativity around apps - essentially hooking into the curiosity of someone chancing on the project but then being able to pick through examples, boilerplates etc and getting excited at prospect of experimenting with some core HTML/CSS/JS skills for a side project - also specifically outside of the cloying business space of android/win/iOS. The problem with Electron is you embed an entire browser with each app - perhaps some sort of version manager that links PWAs + GTK webviews?
Nice to see that he linked to rust as a safe alternative to the C's (C, C++, Objective-C). There is a place for Go and Java as well above the system level. Both perform well and are safe.
Anti malware software is worse than malware in itself.

By the way the reason we have malware in Windows is for how Windows works: unlike Linux distributions Windows doesn't have a package manager (yes, now there is the Windows store, but practically no one uses it, even Microsoft itself since you don't find Office on it!), and thus users need to download executables from the internet.

But users are stupid and will probably download the first link they find on Google that probably contain malware. In Linux that is not possible, not because Linux is more secure (it's not), but for the simple fact that downloading executables from the internet is not something you commonly do, you install software from trusted sources.

To run a file you downloaded you even need to add a permission that is not enabled by default. That is enough to avoid people executing by mistake with a double click a file they received by email named invoice.pdf.exe (where of course Windows hides the .exe extension by default...).

Microsoft is addressing a problem the wrong way around, instead of establishing a trusted source of software, they are still developing antivirus software that not only slows down the computer, but they don't even work so well with modern malwares, that are so sophisticated to bypass easily an antivirus protection.
It's good but on production branch rebasing will change the commit history with it.
Less Amazon than the content owners: NFTs give them no additional revenue, still have the same hosting costs, and dramatically increase the odds of a compromise leaking their material permanently.
You're right! I just went with an example that used to be the most relevant to me personally (the "work visa" part, fortunately not the "abusive employer" part).

Let's throw in one more reason: health insurance being tied to current employer also means people may be forced to stay, at least until they line up their next gig.

Cherries and apples have seeds with traces of a cyanide derivative that can be converted in the stomach.

> Cherries have a small, hardened pit that surrounds their seed, also called a kernel. The kernels of cherry pits and other stone fruits contain the chemical amygdalin. Amygdalin is a cyanogenic glycoside — a chemical that your body converts into the toxic compound hydrogen cyanide.

Not only is it not insane, I'm fairly certain a similar protection was provided for the vaccines during the Spanish Flu epidemic.

> Back of the napkin

I used an approximately 1.8% fatality rate for infected individuals at present, and extrapolated to eventual 100% infection of the population assuming a hypothetical scenario where no major company had stepped up to build a vaccine and so the only immune protection available would be natural. You are quite correct and that it is not great math... certainly epidemiologists tend to use a more conservative approach under the assumption that somebody will develop countermeasures. But honestly, with no vaccine it's probably in the ballpark unless we had done something drastic like a sufficient quarantine of infected individuals to zero out the spread (which never seemed in the cards based on behavior I observed among my fellow Americans).
> Writing tests makes me a better programmer

Writing bug free software without writing tests also makes you a better programmer. Practice helps, and practicing creating architectures that are easy to make correct without tests really makes you a better programmer. If you can't both do well with tests everywhere and do well without tests then you aren't a great software engineer. The reason is that first you create an architecture that is easy to make correct, then you add tests on top of that, and now you got something great, using tests as a crutch prevents you from ever reaching that stage.
> What is the vision for 2025?

Why not wait and figure that out when we get there? The world is changing too fast now; consider that any vision for 2020 written in 2015 would probably have been useless by the time we were actually in 2020.

Edit: Also consider that updates to Rust probably don't have nearly as big an effect on your customers as changes to .NET, especially the old .NET Framework which was shipped as a shared runtime environment on the customers' machines. Assuming you ship binaries to your customers, Rust probably isn't even visible to them.

Offense beats defense.

This OC's advice is completely, utterly, logically, emotionally, psychologically, economically, and in all other ways thoroughly correct. Any one who disagrees has obviously not done any policy work.

Other perks when advocating for progress:

Messaging is generally easier. If you're explaining, you're losing.

Focus! Avoid getting dragged into pedantic slap fights, distracting side quests, arguing about details and semantics.

It's hard to win fights on enemy turf.

Everyone is already complaining about everything. Be the one who has a plan, something positive to say. Honey vs vinegar.
Concentrate on customer value and stickiness first. This is not the same as "more features"! Rather, what are the key things that customers love about your service which will cause them to stick around? How can you improve those specific things?

Right now you have freedom of motion. You can make experiments and you are mostly insulated from negative effects due to the small customer base. It's harder to make changes later.

Any investments in customer acquisition are likely to be a waste. If you churn customers every 6 months, any new cohort is a time-limited boost to revenue which will quickly disappear. If you improve retention to 12-24+ months, now you have better revenue over time AND you're able to capitalize on marketing. Same thing with increasing spend per customer: find out how to hold onto them first.

My nephew's name starts with the same letter as my own name, and consequently, only he and I can consistently get the two names straight. It's a bit of an extreme case, but anyone with a decent-sized family can probably attest to the inability to get even their immediate relatives correctly identified 100% of the time correctly, and this is far before anyone starts getting senile.

I heard this is really a big thing in the US yeah. Here in Europe iMessage isn't really a thing at all. Probably because apple's marketshare is so much lower.

I know many people with iPhones but nobody ever tried to invite me to an iMessage group chat. Nobody even tried to message me with it directly, because it would have switched over to SMS and I've literally never had an SMS from a person. Just automated notifications and spam.

Not that we're much better off here because we're still stuck with proprietary stuff like WhatsApp but at least it's not locked to one platform.

Einstein was a patent clerk. A patent office is basically a library of ideas. So he was paid to study ideas in detail day after day for years. Likely some of his ideas on relativity came from train scheduling patents frequently requested at the time since railroad companies were going pan-European.

FYI: Elite VCs pay people to basically do what Einstein did: study new ideas and trends all day. There are a few US market intelligence companies like 451 Group that can write mind-blowing reports.

> hundredth comment saying "you got the shape of [MY STATE] wrong, you idiots!"

Funny enough, when I see either the USA map or the California map in Mercator projection, the first thing that comes to mind is “wow the shape is completely wrong!” :-)

> favorite Asian projection?

Asia is huge, so you are necessarily going to get a lot of distortion of one kind or another. It’s a close-enough-to-circular blobby shape that you might be fine with some azimuthal projection. If you want to preserve local shapes but don’t mind variation in scale, you can use a stereographic projection centered roughly on the circumcenter. If you want to reduce distance errors while allowing a bit of local shape distortion, you could use an azimuthal equidistant projection.

(In either case, you could probably get away with either an assumed spherical earth, or you could properly correct for the ellipsoid. The difference between the two would not be too obvious at a glance.)

There are various other projections you could try. You might find one or another aesthetically better. For example perhaps some oblique conic projection would fit the region slightly better than the azimuthal projection. Or you could try something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamberlin_trimetric_projectio...

Here’s e.g. a nice comparison of some possible projections for Europe:

At a certain point you just have to accept it happens, and build systems the deal with it in a reasonable way.

With some imagination you can build systems that handle it without punishing minorities. To do otherwise just shows a lack of imagination and compassion.

I like to think Mobian is one of the "mature" Pinephone Distros, i.e. if there is something that doesn't work on Mobian, it will not work on any Pinephone/Librem 5 Distro.

> Should I use it?

I mean...of course i will say "yes you should!", so I guess I am more curious what you are expecting or if you have specific expectations?

> What should I expect my experience to be?

Mobian uses Phosh as the default environment, so if you have used any Pinephone Distribution with Phosh, that's about what to expect.

If you have not used Phosh....well to be honest I do not know of any good Video reviews for it, but I imagine such videos exist.
There are police officers who work full-time in a hospital. If they're wearing a body cam and recording constantly then they'd be producing 40 hours/week of footage.

I don't think it's fair to say it isn't entered phonetically. Fundamentally typing in Japanese is grounded in providing the phonetics of a word which can then be converted to more precise characters.

As for Romaji based input, certainly there are some liberties taken based on the logical structure of kana that have been to applied to typing for convenience, but for the most part the Romaji has been chosen for phonetic reasons.

It's also worth noting that from an English perspective the sound you associate with <ti> might be different from the sound a Japanese person might associate with it. Just because the usage isn't strictly the English phonetics, doesn't mean the symbols aren't being used phonetically.
