You could build the entire Nike Lookbook as a Judo experience and deliver it through the primary Nike app. This is one of our most common use-cases.

Marketing teams often want to build engaging experiences like the Nike Lookbook and use them to engage with their core app audience. But an experience like this is ephemeral—it's only relevant for a short period of time. It wouldn't make sense for the core engineering team to build it by hand. By the time it made its way through the app release cycle and (hopefully) users updated to the new version of the app, the experience would no longer be relevant. And you'd need another app update just to remove the code they wrote for the experience.

This is a great use case for server-driven UI. Judo enables teams to design, build and deliver experiences like these through their native apps without writing code and without having to release an app update.
You are ignoring how the parts of the technology are used to separate responsibilities.

No, Apple doesn’t run the database. NCMEC does.

I think I prefer physical textbooks for many reasons I wont get in to... but I do really like the interactive and visualization elements computers offer.

I feel like teaching kids some amount of coding to be able to play with math could be very helpful.
Devolved? Have you seen the headlines from a 100 years ago. What golden age of media would you suggest we have devolved from?

The media is what they always were alarmist who selectively report in order to maximize profits while carefully falling in with the most powerful but always trying to appear distanced and at odds with.

I dunno, I went to college. I've seen what it's like on the inside. Before I ever had political opinions it was pretty easy to see that people came out kind of brainless and all thinking the same things. It did not seem like an institution that really developed peoples' ability to think for themselves.
Perfect is the enemy of good.

This is a solution to a problem. It may not be the perfect solution to the root cause, it may just be treating the symptom, but it's still better than nothing.

No, I really don’t give a damn about whether others accept it. I can post my opinion simply as food for thought.
how long until ccp or any other regime uses this to completely censor any picture or text they don't want. it's the worst thing apple could have done all their "privacy" claims are completely undermined now. especially after they've pretty clearly bowed to government pressure in the past.
Gave it a try. I enjoy writing readable code but it's hard to judge one's own work. What do you all think?

def monotonic(arr):
"""
Turn an unordered list into a list of lists of monotone
sequences. All sequences are converted to increasing.

Start reading the list in chunks of two to decide if we're increasing or not.
"""

if len(arr) <= 2: return sorted(arr)

gen_arr = iter(arr)
new_arr = []
sub_arr = [next(gen_arr), next(gen_arr)]
increasing = sub_arr[1] >= sub_arr[0]

for m in gen_arr:
if m >= sub_arr[-1] and increasing \
or m <= sub_arr[-1] and not increasing:
sub_arr.append(m)
else:
new_arr.append(sorted(sub_arr))
n = next(gen_arr, None)
sub_arr, increasing = ([m, n], n >= m) if n else ([m], None)

new_arr.append(sorted(sub_arr))

return new_arr

Edit: thanks for the feedback. Changing `<` to `<=` has fixed some edge cases. Also swapped an if statement with a sort.

I think you could make it even more readable by traversing the list twice and keeping track of the runs.
Such idea excludes that progressive taxation can be used for the same purpose - and "wealth cap" is near to being a special case of progressive taxation (0..20%; 0..50%; 0..99% ...)
Well in the spirit of a friendly flame war, I'm going to put my stake in the ground and say that Carabao mangoes from the Philippines and specifically the Galila, Tablan, and Fresco varietals from the island of Guimaras are the best in the world. Twice I've been lucky enough to end up in Guimaras--a tiny island off the southern coast of Panay--once I ended up there during the annual Manggahan Festival just by lucky happenstance. And my god, are the mangoes amazing: perfumey, floral, intensely sweet; they're the Sauternes of mangoes.

They are quite delicate and my understanding is that almost all the exports from there end up in Japan. I've certainly never been able to find them on either coast of the US. They've somewhat spoiled me for mangoes now as everything you can get here is rather insipid by contrast.
Yeah, yeah..

Hah, Donald Trump is a terrorist leader.
> Dodging taxes. They specialize in dodging taxes.

Not really. Their Schtick is to move to a different low cost of living country and live there.

Preferably several - one for the summer one of the winter and another for fall/spring.

It’s more radical lifestyle design than “dodging taxes”.
I can't fathom how anybody still advocates for this industry unless they're getting filthy rich off it. For example I always see overlap in climate change denial and advocacy for these fuel industries. Like, okay fine, deny climate change science, but how can you still argue that this crap is fine for the environment? You want polluted waters, polluted air, polluted everything?

I'll probably be flagged for this post as it contributes nothing, it's just an emotional outburst, but sometimes man I just feel hopeless, helpless, and have no idea what to do when humans are just short-sighted apes.

>First of all, ADE is a concern for anyone infected by a virus, whether through vaccination or natural infection.

That's a false equivalency. Immunity in the unvaccinated but previously infected is broad. The immune system reacted to all parts of the virus, and the variants the unvaccinated were infected with are diverse. In the vaccinated the immunity is narrow, only to the spike protein section of the original Wuhan strain.

It's a reasonable suggestion that the vaccinated are at greater risk of ADE (with very narrow immunity to the original strain's spike protein only) than those infected naturally from a later variant of the entire virus.

Also, the data shows rising COVID cases in areas with more vaccination. I haven't heard a rational explanation for this phenomenon beyond political spin.
The BEST Todo app – Focused and effective prioritization
Or so I think haha

https://www.KissTodo.com

Yeah yeah, another todo app . But not really.

KissTodo spawned from my dislike of the currently available task management tools.

It combines focus, flexibility and simplicity to offer an improved experience over the other solutions on the market.

Most developers try to create a todo app as their first app and as such does not come from a real need and provides no real value.

I was truly disenchanted with the current task management apps out there and I am truly satisfied with KissTodo (been using it for close to 6 months).

I don't know if KissTodo is for you or not, but I believe it can bring value to those that like flexibility, simplicity, minimalism and nimbleness.

That being said, I'm ready to get roasted

I welcome any comment, discussion, suggestion or insult haha
>what's going on in journalism programs around the country that is allowing for so much unabashedly propagandist content to be pushed out under the guise of "journalism"?

It takes two to tango. People get propagandist content because they willingly consume propagandist content. They like it. If people really wanted to be informed, they would watch C-Span all the time and the usual networks would be relegated to niche interest.
I think the title is bad and you're missing details due to skimming. The author walks through the entire process the mangoes he is purchasing go through, including irradiation at a USDA-approved facility.

Applying your grandfather’s story to the cafeteria worker example, a more apt parallel would be working their way up over the years to head of food service for the all the buildings at a site.

Similarly, a parallel for data center staff would be being able to take a job that has a path to roles in either management for data centers or a increasing scope towards sysadmin and devops/SRE roles.
Right, but this isn’t a bad thing. The bad things people are claiming are things they imagine could be done in the future.

Exactly like an Invisible Pink Unicorn.

If you go after imaginary bad things, you will never stop. That is the problem with paranoia.
The problem with that is not really to do with equality, it's to do with who runs companies and where investment in the economy comes from, and how everyone's basic needs are met. This would take the ownership of huge swathes of the companies in the world out of the hands of the people who created them and operate them and into the hands of random executives with little or no track record. You're not going to meet anybody's basic needs to you destroy the economy that provides them.

For example, Elon Musk would be forced to sell all but a minuscule sliver of his shares in Tesla, SpaceX, etc and give the proceeds to the tax man. He'd be out on his arse and replaced by an executive hired by whoever bought the shares. It would be the death of Tesla and SpaceX as we know them.

That's just a highly visible example, but the effect would be to take tens of thousands of companies out of the hands of the people who currently run them, and into the hands of random investors. It's not clear to me this would actually be any good for those companies, or the economy, or the people working at those companies, or their customers.

Finally, if everyone who's currently an investor in these companies, but has more than $20m also get taxed down to $20m, who is going to buy all the shares? You'd also tax out of existence the vast majority of the source of investment and capitalisation in the economy. There's be functionally nobody left capable of making significant investments.

These things matter. It's nonsense like this that is why Marxist experiments the world over have caused such havoc and misery on unimaginably vast scales.
Correct, because you live in a society and the society imposes some obligations and constraints on you, as all societies have done since the dawn of humanity.
Other than the materially false statements? Gee, I guess nothing.
One step farther along the path to the root of the issue: Cars are incredibly expensive. That people in cities often choose to own cars and pay those prices reflects that they get more value from the car than the costs, often because alternative transport solutions are not cheaper, are way less time-efficient, and not nearly as convenient.

Fix that and many people will quickly pivot away from cars, reducing pull-through demand for oil, tires, brakes, lubricants, etc.
Can someone explain what the difference between this and pulling stuff off the AP machine is? I see almost identical news articles all the time across major news outlets.

My partner used to work at a company and would write all their news, spotlights and press releases. They commonly would see paragraphs taken by major news outlets without attribution. She tells me that’s just how it was.

I’m not in the industry but I thought copying from press releases and AP/Reuters sources was fairly standard. I’m sure there is a lot more to it here but I’m asking what the distinction is. Certainly I feel like plagiarism in the news isn’t quite the same as it is elsewhere.
Oh it gets better - the populace is turning on you if you weren’t as gullible as them in taking an experimental vaccine. How dare you think you’re above us, they snark.

But it’s all gravy, it hasn’t even been a year and the same extortionist racket that plagues the country’s lack of affordable healthcare has already pocketed $22B from this. Booster shots? Already turning it into a subscription model.

There isn't a 'right' way to speak, but there are accurate facts against we can measure bias.

> Recognizing that "everyone has an accent" and "everyone has a bias" is about learning to think in greater depth than the simplistic tendency to believe "I'm right, and everyone who sees the world differently is wrong." That endeavor is not useless.

I'd add that the most important step is understanding one's own, and understanding that you always have biases that are invisible to you.
> Wages are stagnant and certainly haven't kept pace with productivity

Wages have never been tied to productivity. They're derived from supply and demand for labour. Gold miners are very productive fiscally speaking, but they don't make any more than coal miners.

> Metrics don't capture "having to pee in a bottle" because of work demands.

Why do you think people shouldn't have to pee in bottles? Or be exposed to dangerous conditions? You seem to be operating from a moral ideal that gives a very clear idea of how things ought to be. Where do you derive it from?

> Was it true in 2500 BC that they had the resources to feed everyone on the planet consistently? 1500 AD?

You'd be surprised how much grain was hoarded by ancient Pharaohs and Medieval Lords. It was likely enough to prevent much of the starvation their populations experienced. We could always feed more people than we do, and people with wealth and power have always preferred expensive trinkets and shows of status to feeding the hungry.

The US is fundamentally build on individual liberty. This idea is in opposition to involuntary social obligation. If a person doesn't want to use their wealth/time/energy to the benefit of others, do they have to? Should you force them? To what degree? Are people entitled to be helped or should they have to ask? People disagree axiomatically on these things.

In absence of an oracle to tell us who is right and who is wrong, and given that we are all morally equal, it seems to follow that no one has a strong case to impose their answers to these questions on anyone else. Why are you so sure that helping people is "right"? Why do you think everyone has to work towards your idea of a "healthy society"?

> So why do we structure society to encourage and reward these behaviors instead of trying to mitigate their effects?

I'd say our current social structure is the best we've got for mitigating these effects. Entrepreneurship allows people to harness their self-interest to the benefit of others. Democracy limits the effects of corruption. This is why our society is able to innovate as much as it does, and therefore prevail in the ongoing competition with other societies and other ideas.

I read a series of novels called “The World Made by Hand,” which take more of a slow collapse approach to post-apocalyptic fiction. One part of the books that stood out was how important it is, both in terms of overall health and hygiene as well as morale, to have clean clothes. Some members of the town opened a town laundry where they would boil clean the clothes of their customers. Great series overall.

"irresponsible to give people what they want to see"

How do you know what people want? Because someone in charge told you so?

'Maximising engagement' is like how airports force you to go through a shopping mall on the way to your flight, through a windy path. Or imagine you design a really confusing shopping center where people get lost. They measure time wasted and call it 'engagement'

They waste your time in hopes it will push you to buy something / click on ads.

It's not the first time business leadership chases a fad on bad data, they do it all the time on bad data. Developers do the same 'fashion chasing' with their tech stack.

We have proof that'sex sells' is a myth, open plan offices are harmfull to productivity, working remotely is more productive,'saving' on IT equipment nets losses to the business, moving to microservices or agile or to NoSQL doesn't save money

Last time I condicted a poll, not a single person said their preferred content is misinformation and clickbait.
Build LXD yourself. It is not that complicated if one updates go to something beyond 1.14. Only downside is that you may need to create your own init scripts and a lxd group, but that's not complicated either.
We don't have much, no dish washer, no dryer, only one car in the extended family but I wouldn't want to let go of the washing machine. The reality would be a lot of drudgery traded off against wearing clothes long after they became dirty.
> Distrusting everyone is as unskeptical and illiterate as trusting everyone.

I hate to take the wind out of your sails because you do have a good point that I think people should pay attention to it but in a literal sense what you're saying is incorrect with respect to the both history of philosophy[1] and just the dictionary definition of the word[2]. What you're talking about is critical thinking, not skepticism. Skepticism is literally a position of general distrust within some domain or even globally. It's probably best not to conflate the two concepts.

It's interesting that pre-acquisition Android seems like it was very much tailored to high-end feature phones. There was no touch screen support, and even "apps" themselves seemed to be a bit of an afterthought, although of course better planned than the 'J2ME profiles' mentioned in OP. The closest thing to it today would probably be KaiOS, even pure Linux on phones is aiming quite a bit higher. (Albeit with sxmo https://sxmo.org/ https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Sxmo being a bit more minimalistic, even that is way above most feature phones.)
Right. My argument against the slippery slope argument is not that governments won’t make demands.

It’s that if they do, this technology is irrelevant.

The meta-conclusion is that natural immunity is at least as effective as the Pfizer/Moderna, and more protective than the J&J vaccine.

There isn't a collection of billion dollar multi-national pharma companies pushing studies on natural immunity, nor are public health experts talking about it, creating a false impression in the mind of the public.

Trust me, I got the "redneck vaccine" in February, before I was eligible for the real vaccines. I still haven't recovered all of my sense of smell, and don't recommend it. That being said, I am also at increased risk of complications from the vaccine due to having a sky-high level of antibodies in my blood according to my doctor. I visit him monthly, and at his recommendation I will be getting the shot as soon as the antibodies wane.

Edit: Here is clinical evidence of worse side effects for previously infected individuals getting vaccinated

Really obnoxious that my comment is getting downvoted with no rebuttals.
No one is suggesting taking the means of production and distributing it to the proletariat, so no you won't. It is literally impossible to get to Marxist communism through taxation. Communism is much more than simple wealth redistribution. It's about collective power and collection ownership of the means of economic growth. Progressive taxation is absolutely not that unless maybe it's a 100% or higher ... but that kind of ceases to be a tax and starts looking a lot like the state seizing people's property.

Just because Apple didn’t attend Alex’s mini conference for his contacts does not mean they didn’t engage any privacy experts. Furthermore, Alex is a security expert and not a privacy expert. Finally, if that conference was really pushing the envelope on privacy, where are the innovations from those who did attend? The status quo of CSAM scanning is at least as dangerous as an announcement of an alternative.
If I have to make a guess it’s much more likely that their deep learning algorithms learned nudity is more engaging (without them using that as a feature).
This obviously doesn’t mean the platform isn’t responsible. I agree we need to have regulations that require these companies to ensure their algorithms are “inclusive”.
So they can silently change stuff without the ability for someone to go back and look at what it used to say.
