I think we are talking past each other. When you said “The supply in walkable areas will, by near definition, be lower than places you have to drive to.“ I interpreted that to mean there is less total supply. You seem to be speaking to available supply.

> What places are we talking about that are a) highly walkable, b) expensive, and c) not at capacity?

I don’t think there is such a place. If a place is walkable it is going to be at or near capacity which makes it expensive.

The lack of these areas seems to be a result of an unwillingness to increase density.

I believe we'll just be the testing ground. Apple has no doubt to capitulate and use this for China so they can track down Pooh memes and similar anti-Chinese content for thought crimes against the party.
“totalitarian” sounds like propaganda

This is from the country responsible for the patriot act
About a week or so ago the Greek PM (I think it was the PM) strongly advised his fellow Greek compatriots to use less air conditioning because the electrical grid was very close to collapsing. No way one can add a few million EVs to that grid.

And Greece is a EU member with a resonably well functioning economy (ignoring the financial crisis from a decade ago), I fail to see how poorer countries will be able to make all this work.

Good to know, thanks! I plan to reinstall LineageOS since I stupidly relocked my bootloader last time and can't upgrade without wiping the phone. I'll try out microG this time!
I'm not usually the most idealistic when it comes to FOSS, but it's stories like this and Apple's stance of "trust us, we promise we know what we're doing and that nothing is going to go wrong" that makes me think all software should be legally required to be open source.
Fascinating as it looks like kind of sacret place, and social behaviors of early humans didn't differ that much from other wildlife dwellers. Perhaps one could anchor origin of some religions from this behavior? ie. consumption, hoarding, community, continuity.
Thank you! I am glad to see people are actually reading the articles. Last time this was published no one even bothered to note that there was no intervention from China whatsoever. Following the same logic a hotel worker losing their job because an American tourist complained can say that the United States got them fired..

The comments critical of the CCP in this thread prove that confirmation bias is alive and well. There are many things to critique about China obviously but this particular instance is not one of them.
This is actually vaguely what I came up with, which is: "no Apple user is a practicing pedo".

Which is a very scary statement any company to make (the means to get to that point?!). But I am sure some countries see this is as a great technology to push for slogans of their own: "no citizen of Nonhomostan is a practicing homosexual!", "no citizen of Oppositionkillerian has any mind-corrupting western banners on their phone!"

This technology will allow large powers to make sweeping statements about data kept on private devices.
Let us check it again: I understand it is more like "There exist operators in Swiss education who are in a weak position, e.g. for the need to obtain visa which could be critical to perform their job".

It is not that there is not an influence (it could be China as much as many other entities), but given the above it is transversal to the job.
don't do it, i did it last year and bought a top end mini and new iphone. They burned this bridge though, I guess it's back to Android and using adb to degoogle it and use open source apps to replace the google apps
But unofficial relationships matter in science. For example, I am currently doing an unpaid internship in the hopes of getting a paper out of it. If the professor cancelled it, I might be left with nothing to show for months of hard work, similar to the guy in the story. That kind of thing is not uncommon at all at the PhD level.
The mistake here is thinking iphone is your own device. If they can view anything stored there, remove anything from there, control anything you install and run, disable it at any moment they wish - do you actually own it, or you just granted the use of it as long as Apple approves of it? Apple certainly doesn't ask your permission to do anything on "your own device" - but you have to ask theirs. Is that how ownership works?
Isn't just the language or clothes. People feel inferior/discriminated to eat with their hand (traditional Indian food) as opposed to using forks / knifes, which somehow is supposed to be "civilized". People feel that even when they speak English, their Indian accent is somehow bad / funny. Its not uncommon for people (specially from the western world) to make judgements how Indian/Asian food smells/tastes bad. Wonder how much of these stem from the colonial past of systematically being subjugated and being told you're inferior for 100s of years.
What the author tried to implicitly say, and what many readers seemed to miss, is the fact that how the concepts of "dating" are uncharted and carry so many risks for people in the lower classes even after you take away the money factor. Their families and societies are tied up in such a way that makes indulging into such "modern" or "western" acts a huge taboo, with the youngsters facing severe punishments if caught. For many parents with such mindsets, their children "dating" someone is seen as an act of dishonor.
The trouble I have with AOSP of all flavors isn't lack of Google Services, it's lack of access to the app store.

I can do fine without Google Services, but I occasionally need an app that's just not available on F-Droid, and Google is doing their level best to make it harder to get APKs any other way. You used to be able to download them from the store; no longer possible. They've announced some other package format, support for which I assume won't be released to AOSP.

They're locking Android ever closer in to their store, and it makes any alternative Android distribution ever more dependent on Google.
Google Photos and Gmail openly and heavily scan server-side, and I'm sure a lot of us use them, how do we reconcile that?
there's nothing stopping them from scanning on their servers, google and dropbox already do it.

Previously Android phones were allowed to be released each with modified unique kernels. All new phones which ship with Android 12 however must use the same generic Android Common Kernel, and any device-specific drivers are then attached via kernel modules.

So basically from September-ish all future Android phones should be able to boot off the same image, or at least a Generic System Image.
Google does the same with Google Drive. Apple is just late for the party.
The good thing is that the source is always right there and you can read it or set breakpoints and step through it to see how things work.

> how to handle async code (e.g. how magit runs a command, and then refreshes the buffer after it completes)

Emacs's primary mechanism for async code is: spawning an asynchronous process and interacting with them using a process filter/sentinel. This allows you to do things like detect when that process has emitted a certain output or signal and run some code based on that.

For example, magit user the process-sentinel for a pull/fetch command to call (magit-refresh) to refresh the buffer. (How to fish: I guessed that magit-refresh was probably the function refreshing the buffers, set a breakpoint in it, and voila now I have the entire stackframe.)

It's not a mistake, it's a rhetorical trick - to present somebody opposing your actions as a misinformed idiot that just doesn't know what they're talking about, and once proper technobabble is deployed every reasonable person would realize their mistake. And if they don't, they must be much bigger idiot than we thought, there's no other reasonable conclusion.

I'm obviously not Doreen, but I was a military brat and military myself and can relate some of what I saw. First off, there's a sense of impermanence to everything. Your best friend is often someone you will only know for ~3 years of your life. You have to meet people and become friendly with them quickly or you will have no social contacts outside your family.

If you were a military spouse, you may have had a job, but rarely a career. You move at the whim of your spouse's job (every few years) to places you don't control. You generally don't get to pick your neighbors or even your friends - you just adapt to the situation that constantly changes.

Spouses of military members that go on unaccompanied tours have it even worse. They are at home alone, often for months at a time. My anecdotal observations of Navy spouses, for example, was that cheating was a standard practice - not because the marriage was necessarily bad, but because they were so lonely. This is based on limited exposure (I was Air Force, both as a brat and active duty), so may not be as universally true as I observed.

This can all sound horrible, but it really wasn't. Just different. Different enough that sometimes it is hard to explain.

Correct, US universities are Marxist/Communist.

That doesn't mean we want even more of that influence on-campus.

Hi there, I'm the author of the post.

I want to clarify that the post/report has been agreed with the consultancy. Some of you would consider this as bad behavior from my side, and I'm sorry to hear that. What would you do if you ever find something like this? All this has been reported, and it’s being fixed. DISCLOSURE accepted, and that’s why the post/report won’t contain names ever. IMHO bad behavior is having all this information available "open to the Internet.", waiting for someone else to come with really unethical purposes. If you ever find a vulnerability and keep quiet about it, I don’t think that makes you any more ethical.

The incentive structure in the military is completely different from normal American society. Imagine a parallel, "socialist" society that exists inside the U.S.A. That's the military in a nutshell.

It has its own government-run housing authority, its own government-run medical system, you don't always know where you will end up on your next tour, you may not be allowed to quit and leave the military when you would normally expect to under some circumstances, etc.
I'm pretty sure child abuse is a criminal offense everywhere. That's quite a disincentive.
There's information on his Swiss PhD program in the article. The Swiss University advised him to de-register so he could maintain years of eligibility or whatever, and the Swiss advisor continued to supervise him obviously. The University had told him that re-registering upon his return would be "no problem" with the support of the advisor. So he kind of got caught in a transitional stage where he has no options if a dispute with the advisor arises. Maybe it's not fair to criticize the University administration for this, but it's not accurate to simply describe him as unaffiliated and making up fake news or something.

As for the Canadian student, the quotes from the professor herself are what say the complaints came "from China". Perhaps she meant from the Chinese student in Canada, but if so that's her error, not the author's.
I don't see any reasonable way here. Either somebody looks at the images - i.e. they have some underpaid poorly trained grunt to look at horrible abuse images which is probably illegal to look at whole day, having about 3 seconds to make a decision on each - or what they're doing is just a sham, "Did the computer say 'it matches'? Yes it did! Review complete, match confirmed!" I don't see any non-horrible way of doing non-sham reviews here.
That experience is not exclusive to Emacs. I'm a VIM brat and simply cannot use any text editor that does not speak at least a basic VIM dialect. Thankfully Jetbrains' IDEs have IdeaVIM.

I firmly believe that text editor proficiency is handled in the same part of the brain that handles language. I notice very similar obstacles when switching or learning or trying a new text editor as I do when switching or learning or trying a new language. And those are both something that I do every few years.

At this point we need to be doing more than signing open letters to companies that are completely free to ignore them.

If you work for Apple and don't stand up to this, you should find it extremely hard to find employment or acceptance anywhere. If you're a hiring manager, throw the resumes of anyone that worked at Apple in the trash.

It should be a black mark on you if you continue to work and contribute to Apple after this; If you continue to work for them or support them, you should be ostracized.

Give it a few years. I live in Bucharest (Romania), located at ~45 Northern latitude, and I’ve first started seeing fig trees around here about 10 years ago. In the last few years I’ve started seeing more and more of them, so much so that I’ve started taking photos of almost all of them and I’m thinking of putting those photos on a map and exporting the geo-locations somewhere on GitHub in a .kml or geo-json file for other people to look at.
I had to go search for that image. Love it.

I find the overhead of selecting a pop up, having it appear, often then using the mouse to select something, then pressing do is just clumsy compared to the low overhead command structure of Emacs. Search is a primary cursor move operation, for example.

That's very cold comfort. Gruber himself says that this applies to most customers.
The story goes: dude studies in china. Is in Switzerland bc of corona. Starts posting anti CCP on Twitter. Posts racist picture, some chinese PhD student in Canada sees it. Emails his supervisor. Supervisor sees it and decides that she doesn't want to work with someone who posts racist pictures (for the wrong reason not bc of the picture but because she fears she will get excluded if she publishes with him). This is all very plausible imo if one could actually see the picture which conveniently isn't included.

This is not saying anything about the CCPs control over research which is a very serious topic. As long as I don't see the relevant picture. It's a researcher not wanting to publish with a someone who posts racist stuff.
If there ever is a showcase of the slippery slope fallacy this comment would be on it.

Step back for a second and think about why perhaps falling for the ‘but the children’ trap tells you Apple wants to go in the absurd direction you are pointing. Think about if it makes any sense at all they would want to go that way, think about why they would even let you know and think about how plausible it is for these steps to lead to each other.

When people say this, my main gripe is that it's used to legitimise anecdote, rather than well structured citizen science.

I'm in the same boat with my Fairphone and /e/. ;)

For me, re-flashing wouldn't even be that much of a hassle since I have contacts and all in my Nextcloud instance and would only have to make a backup of Signal (I barely use my phone - about 2-3 hours total per month), but I just can't get myself to do it.

Should have sticked with my trusted ol' Nokia 3110c I used for a good 13 years, but alas I sent that in to Fairphone for recycling after I bought my Fairphone 3 last year (which I only bought in the first place because finding CNG gas stations is such a hassle here in Germany).
How would OSS help in this case? Someone can run a hash, find an “offensive” photo and jail you. Shit, if someone is out to get you, they will dig up any photo on your phone, put it in the “bad hashes” database and just wait for Apple to catch you. And then you’re effed, because no court will want to publicly display a photo that may contain child pornography, so you’ll be jailed without a fair trial.

OSS won’t help here. This system must be shut down, and the gov should deal with pedos in a different way.
sadly, there is a thirst for it.
