I have a similar but different take on the weighting around politics.

Our politicians are influence (unavoidably!) by the people who have the most time and money to spend lobbying them. Even if you reformed lobbying, this would still be the case - even if it was all just letter-writing with no money attached. Wealthy people could send way more letters than harried poor ones.

So the more you have, the more influence you get. BUT the more you have, the more you can fend for yourself, so also the less you need much of that influence! And then the government being unaligned with the needs of most people starts making a lot of sense, without even needing malicious conspiracies.

There's neither profit for businesses nor politicians in giving poor people what they need.

For sure, but they're not all novels. There's lots of factual graphic books and lots of conceptual things that can be learned from those books.

It's also notable that the NYT did not mention any of the differences between US and French or Belgian "comics."

> Not ludicrous at all - Trump was open to Japan and Korea acquiring nukes. [1]

Don't link to paywalls. Who is talking about Trump? I'm talking about the US. Also, Trump was open to a lot of things. Including Mexico paying for the wall.

> That was at a time when India's wasn't clearly aligned to the US. Subsequently it was the US which drafted the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) exemption for India.

Countries like india, china, russia are never "clearly aligned" with anyone. They are too big for that.

> What liberation? People hold favorable views of the West (compared to China) in East Asia, South East Asia, or India.

That's because we are the dominant occupying power with dominant propaganda and wealth. The leaders of these "subjugated" nations could easily turn the propaganda against the US. Look how quickly our propaganda was able to turn the sentiment against china. How easily do you think Japan, Korea, Philippines, etc could turn their nations sentiment against the US.

> Many of them are now in disputes with China, which often involve violence.

What disputes, violence? The only real dispute seems to be with the US and the west ( aka china's and asia's former european colonizers ). That's another danger, that asians, africans, etc are going to pick up on.

> The situation is different in West Asia - but it's always been that way.

What violence? Is it china that invaded afghanistan, iraq and sanctioned iran?

> Modern western influence is largely positive compared to the alternatives.

No. It hasn't been. Not for the aborigines. Not for the natives. Not for the africans. Not for the indians. Etc. That's the point. It's actually modern chinese influence has even been more positive. Considering the wealth of japan, korea and much of asia has been due to trade with china. And that's why we are "pivoting to asia" - a place we do not belong. A place, btw, we caused the deaths of tens of millions of innocent people.

But we shall see how history pans out.

I also think it's wrong to assume that the example of the Soviet Union proves anything.

Maybe Free Markets were the best you could do with the quantitative decision-making tools available to Stalin, and maybe central planning with modern AI/ML/Operations Research techniques would be more successful than a free-market approach.

Or maybe, the Soviet Union would have done just fine if there were no United States trying to thwart it at every turn.

Ah man I had such a bad experience with ubuntu with my 3700x and 5700xt. Years ago I had issues with Nvidia and purposely went AMD at recommendations of AMD cards being better with linux.

However most of the issues are just ubuntu. Switching to manjaro resolved 95% of my issues and steam out of the box ram games much better.

Never tried fedora tho. No one has ever recommended that to me.
Just a note - the link to the position is broken, and I'm not able to find the position on your careers page.
Dollar tree used to sell everything for $1: I don't know if they still do or not. The products they sell are limited, and very, very, very cheap. It is amazing, really.

Dollar General and Family Dollar both sell things over a dollar.

>Workers rights is a separate discussion in which the entire gulf region is shamefully criminal.

It's not. It's a human rights issue, which has led to many deaths. Qatar has a far worse record than the rest of the Gulf.

>Remember, this is a person who we host in the White House to shake hands with a smiling president

So you don't want to do any diplomacy with unsavory regimes? With this standard, the US couldn't even talk to most of the ME, not to mention Russia and China. The world is unlikely to survive that.

>I asked about the unparalleled brutality of a Crown Prince ordering the dismemberment of a journalist.

Well, it's a separate issue that almost the entire ME is guilty of. Just look at the case of Zahra Kazemi[0]. And we have diplomacy with those people!

Sorry, just used your argument for a sec.

Sounds like you need a new MBP?
Reduced latency. Which has an apparent performance boost versus sending data to Google for processing and waiting for a response.

Potentially improved privacy (this is how Apple tries to sell it). Less data has to leave the phone to gain the utility of the ML models.

Improved device performance. Reduced network use and better specialized chips leading to better performance. Either in terms of better battery life or better time to get the result.

Are you asking what is the advantage of having ML optimized hardware on device? Yes, running inferences is expensive too, especially for video, photo, and speech processing. I would expect this phone to have user noticeable improvements in those three areas.
Maybe some of this is regional. I listen to WNYC from New York and WHYY from Philadelphia, maybe the coverage is different in other regions.

To give some examples, Bob Garfield and Brian Lehrer were openly hostile towards Trump in such a way to disparage all of the people who voted for him, which was half of the country. Now, this isn't actually the thing I have a problem with, and I think I actually prefer it when hosts wear their hearts on their sleeves. But, you could never find the level of distain of Obama for his drone strikes, surveillance and massive wealth transfers to the rich that you could find of Trump for his racist demeanor, xenophobic immigration policies and massive wealth transfers to the rich.

A lot of my opinion is from working on the inside. Public media in the US, at least in the urban areas where I worked, is staffed _exclusively_ by Warren-type Democrats. They really believe that there is a correct view of the world, and that it is to be socially liberal and economically conservative - manifest through complex policy. Any other opinions - notably Bernie-ism or Trump-ism, are populist and to be dismissed as unserious.
I don't think any sophisticated intelligent beings could evolve without their primary social interaction being cooperative. You can't build a spaceship if you don't learn to get along with others. You wouldn't evolve complex thought or even language without social pressure. This doesn't necessarily automatically translate to cross-species cooperation, or even intra-species, as evidenced by our own history of wars and subjugation, but in the grand scheme of things, our baseline is trending towards more peaceful existence. I expect the same pressures that would make aliens follow the same form factor as us would also drive them towards similar social constructs.
Not real culture it seems
I wonder about the baseband (radio - wifi & cell) component. Are they using Qualcomm / Intel standalone chips? Or did they buy an IP core to integrate onto the SoC? I somehow doubt that they did it in-house, as it's a massive effort to match current state of the art.
Windows 10 + WSL2 + VcXsrv is now my desktop setup of choice - I love running server side and workstation style linux setups (workstation as in "give me fvwm2 and ALL the terminals") but have no interest whatsoever in figuring out what would make an acceptable 'normal' desktop setup.

Plus, as the author says, games :D

Who's alone? I've got people around me all the time who understand and support my decision.

It may be hard for some people, but if you really want to do it, keep at it and don't give up. Seven generations from now, do you think smartphones will still have this hold on humanity? We just can't continue this way; it's an unsustainable form of society. Even movies made in 2021 do not depict smartphone usage anywhere close to the frequency and intensity they are used now. People will wake up from this collective dream one day; I'd rather wake up now and get started early on building something that works, wouldn't you?
....and these security levels are irrelevant when the OS manufacture is the worry for data harvesting.....
Interesting.

Authorizing the CPB to support local reporting could be a bit of a game-changer for the current status quo. I don't know that the rest of the idea would work (there are an awful lot of reasons why Internet media isn't anything like broadcast media), but "subsidizing local reporting as a public good" is an idea I hadn't seen before.

Alternately, consider postmarketOS for your older devices. Though I doubt that any device which shipped w/ Android 2.3 or earlier would run pmOS all that well; even if you managed to get all the hardware working with free drivers, tight limits on RAM and internal storage are generally a showstopper.
I think it's a collaboration with Samsung so would imagine they're using the Exynos stuff
Hopefully this translates into the phones being supported for longer since they are an inhouse design.

What does manual intervention look like? Are all downstream consumers blocked until the DLQ is emptied or do all consumers know how to deal with late-arriving events?
Note the other stores mentioned: Walmart, Target and Costco--all discount stores. When you compare prices to convenience stores or drug stores the Dollar Stores are much cheaper.

And when you look at Walmart, Target and Costco remember time is money. And it takes significantly longer to shop at Walmart, Target and Costco (the long walks to and from your car, the long walk in the store itself, the waits at the cashiers).

When dollar stores replace grocery stores in a community it reduces the quality of nutrition available. Potential vicious cycle there. Economic downturn --> worse nutrition -> decline in mental and physical health of community -> more downturn
It's always odd to me to throw Dollar General into the same category as Dollar Tree.

Dollar Tree is an actual "dollar store" where literally every item costs $1. Dollar Tree's items are generally no-name discount brands that wouldn't be found in big grocery store chains, or familiar brands in unique very small packages.

Dollar General, at least in the two parts of the US I've seen them in (areas of California and the Midwest), is as you describe: something between a convenience store and a traditional grocery store sans produce. They have all the normal big brands: Oreos, Doritos, etc. in the normal package sizes at what seemed to me to be normal grocery store prices.

Unrelated to this article specifically, but the biggest thing I'm looking forward to with the Pixel 6 is the improved updates timeline, as Google has said they will provide updates for at least 5 years, which puts them more in-line with Apple.

Previous Pixels worked great but then inexplicably lost OS updates after only a few years.
That type of 'dollar store' is basically defunct (edit: must be a local phenomenon) Family Dollar and Dollar General are essentially small Wal-Marts and sell products for approximately the same price.
That's typically an argument that "iDevices have more value because you can use them longer than Android". You can't have it both ways - "old android devices" in this context are devices older than iPhone 4s, and iPhone 4s themselves are not very much in use today, so it's that much less likely that Android phones would be.

Realistically, very few people will be affected, and the business backlash for Google is going to be 0. BUT, on the other hand, if anybody at all is going to be affected - those are probably some of the poorest and most vulnerable members of the society (which is also why they're going to not have a strong voice). The social cost, if any, will only be known by Google.
> Life seemed pretty good and simple in the days of System V init

Nope!
To your #3 - in my (US) city there have always been those cheap goods stores. There was one in the (2000 person) town I grew up in, too. The big change I'm seeing is that the independent, mom-and-pop ones are being displaced by major chains.
It's a sad state of Android ecosystem that on 10 years old hardware you can run only 10 years software because vendors rarely provide updates after end of sales date and at the same time they make it very hard to install something like LineageOS (e. g. use locked bootloader and closed-source drivers).

I have a 15 years old notebook and can install a modern Linux/FreeBSD versions on it, but I cannot upgrade 7 years old smartphone.
Yes, absolutely.

Personally, I have always approached interviews as an opportunity to either teach or learn. I pick a subject and drill down until either the interviewee reaches their limit of knowledge, or I do. Why is it like that? How does that work?

Then, we have a discussion. One (or both) of us is learning and we work out the whys and hows together. If I'm the one learning, and I hope that I am, I fact check the discussion after the interview. If not, I get a strong indicator not just for the technical level of the candidate but also how they operate at the edge of their comfort zone. I've found this can be a strong predictor of future growth.

First gen unlikely unless life can form from the elements created during the Big Bang and w/e minute amounts were created due to solar radiation during the life of the star.

And most importantly first gen stars can’t form planets other than gas giants and even gas giants are questionable because our current understanding that other than a few failed stars these also usually require a heavy element core as a seed.

2nd gen stars are a possibility in a region of space that had a lot of 1st gen stars to nova and there might be sufficient amount of heavy elements already there to form a solar system.

So unless life can form from hydrogen, helium, lithium and beryllium then no life in 1st gen stars.

2nd gen is highly dependent on the region of space although I would posture that any region active enough to create sufficient amount of heavy elements would probably remain too active during the 2nd generation for life or at least complex life to form.
The problem as I understand it is that products aren’t priced in a grocery store to all have the same margin.

So the prepared foods and toiletries get marked up to make up for low margins on fresh fruit. Wealthier customers are fine with this as they want to not have to make two trips and they will pay for the fruit.

Dollar stores ditch the fresh stuff and just take a lower margin on the toiletries and prepared food to make up for it, resulting in lower prices. A bit of extra savings matters more to poor people, so they shift those purchases to the dollar store. The grocery store’s business model fails.
The Google TPUs were made at TSMC, I wouldn't be surprised if the phone Tensor chip is fabbed there too.
There is something to that. But consider household tools like Craftsman (had lifetime warranty). Now Craftsman is cheaply made with poor metallurgy and has a limited warranty. People will buy that at the HomeDepot. Sure, you can buy more reliable brands, but most people like you say won't know which ones to buy since many have been shipped overseas.

Furniture is now disposable. Clothing is disposable (even if you didn't mind fashion, it will end tattered after a couple of seasons. You can still buy excellent clothing, it just costs 5x.
I imagine I'm in the minority but I'd rather have a phone a fraction of a millimeter thicker that has a flush back. At this point it's getting out of hand.
It's practically nonsensical. I had a "dumbphone" up until 2011. I'm not even a luddite, I just did everything on my computer (and still pretty much do) because the general early phone OS experience was vastly inferior. 'Life before smartphones' was thus almost essentially the same going back to like 1996. I still spent all day on the internet, except now I can read it while I take a dump I guess.
