I'm of the opinion that until I retire, I do not have the "extra money" to do anything for my job out of my own pocket. They can pay me for their requirements if they go against my better judgement.

My current job does not require that I put anything on my phone, though I've chosen to check my work email there. I could take it off at any time, though, without repercussions. They've treated me well, there's nothing in my contract about their data on my devices, and I like to keep up with what's going on. If any of that changed, I'd remove it from my phone.

That is insane. How are they even getting away with such a scheme? Did they start out at a 1:1 ratio and change it once network effects and lock-in happened.

I had an argument at the retard bar at my local Apple store over something similar. There was a lighter part of the screen and they said I’d damaged it and it wasn’t covered by their warranty. Basically fuck off or pay up.

I put it flat on their surface screen down and it spins round and asked for them to do the same with a display model. It didn’t. Battery was swollen and screen damaged. They didn’t take this seriously if I’m honest until I explained the shit they’re in if it blows up in my pocket.

They tried to replace the battery and screen. The screen recalibration failed twice causing two screens and the original handset to be written off in the end. After that they gave me a completely new handset. My daughter still has the 6s now and the battery is fine. So yes sometimes it’s just a bad battery.
Obviously anyone who have visited Finland knows they are way behind the rest of Northern Europe.
The study that comes immediately to mind is Paul K Piff's Monopoly experiment. In it, one participant of each game was given twice as much starting money, twice as much Go money, and twice as many dice as the others. Consistently the "affluent" player would become more aggressive and less polite as the game went on. Other experiments conducted by Piff indicate a lack of empathy associated with increasing wealth. High wealth individuals being shown to be more likely to cut people off in traffic, lie during job interviews, cheat on tests, and in one experiment even more likely to steal candy from children.

One could, however, claim that Piff is biased, and for sure Psych studies have come under fire in general for being irreproducible. So I guess take it all with a grain of salt.
I wouldn't worry about life itself. Life is not like a single-player games, the challenges thrown at you usually are not meant to be fun.

The more worrying part is the deteriorating social network. You go through life surrounded by friends and family, who are mostly in similar circumstances to you, face mostly similar problems. It's one of the biggest group-binding force. After a big windfall, you'll no longer have the same problems as other people in your life. That'll make it tricky to maintain relationships.
> and engagement was never correlated with quality anyway.

Well it's a different style of engagement and a different standard for "quality" from what we colloquially think of those terms to mean. Traditional media needed you to engage with the media. Social media needs you to engage with the comment section associated with the media. The qualities the system is optimizing for, then, isn't the stuff we typically consider to be good for that medium. Instead it's the stuff that's good for making people talk about it.

This is almost certainly to blame for things always gravitating towards largely subjective evaluations of where something falls on some axis for a highly charged metric. Is this racist or not racist? Queer friendly or unfriendly? Liberal of conservative? Arguing about how to 'keep score' with which boxes any specific bit of media gets is a good way to say something about something topical that keeps people engaged and arguing.

Even in the days of the old blogosphere it was well known that you needed to have a comments section to get the page views. You can only crank out so many articles as an individual. But you can make your site "stickier" and encourage people to keep clicking the bookmark for it if you can get them engaged with talking about your article. It's not surprise that the most noxious elements of the modern Internet were more-or-less born on Reddit and Tumblr. These were two sites that basically thrived on creating selective pressure for this sort of content.
Most people lived near water for most of human history. As to seeing stuff across the horizon even static objects along shorelines show the same effect. You can’t see the base of trees across a large lake.
People believe what's comfortable/convenient, not what's true.

In very early 2020, when I was following the news of the virus development in Wuhan, China, I felt like a conspiracy theorist pointing out to friends and coworkers that a bad epidemic spreading in one of the most crowded parts of the world. They thought it was ridiculous to say that hospitals were getting overwhelmed, people were being quarantined etc. Don't even think about suggesting it'll spread outside of China, or that the virus may have come from the lab that just so happened to also be in the origin of the epidemic, a lab which specialized in highly infectious diseases.

Not even 2 years later and where are we now? The entire world got sick and pretty much every country has done lockdowns/quarantines/shutdowns. Not to mention the lab theory of the virus origin still can't be ruled out.

Even after the pandemic started, people still had no problem sticking their head in the sand. It's not a big deal; it's 2020, we have technology and medicine and we'll just make a vaccine and get back to normal. Well now it's almost 2022 and somehow things just keep getting worse.

We can reasonably say the Black Death killed 30% of Europe's population. We can't reasonably say covid won't do the same. All optimistic projections so far have been proven wrong, so all we can say for sure is that humans are terrible at predicting the future.

In the rechargenews article they mention the need to have lots of renewable electricity to really get rid of fossil fuel:

"But to produce sufficient hydrogen to make SSAB’s current iron and steel production fossil-free would require 15 terawatt hours of fossil-free electricity. For SSAB be able to source those volumes, Sweden must first speed up and simplify the permitting procedures for the expansion of its power grid and electricity production, Vattenfall said."
Obviously the OP is referring to West Bank and Gaza.

> Compared holding the phone with one hand and flipping through an address book with the other it's much less flexible to me

My point was that we didn't replace address books with just smartphones. As address books disappeared from our desks, computers showed up. Emails showed up. It was a strange comparison between a single phone and a whole ecosystem of doing business.

"I'll send/email/fax all the information to you in a second." largely replaced "I'm going to read this to you from this piece of paper." especially in a business setting. More efficient, formal, traceable methods have been invented and adopted.
Right. I'm always checking statements to see if there is anything fishy. If I don't know what it's for, I probably don't need it and should investigate further. There are even features to notify you when pending charges post just to follow up on anything weird going on.

He has shipped 1+ million electric vehicles, transforming the auto industry, which will contribute massively to reducing global emissions, etc.

A lot more than making "stock plays". The blindness of the haters is astounding. There are very legitimate critiques of Elon Musk, but denying his self-evident accomplishments is beyond delusional.
A lot of cars sold in the past would not be legal to sell today because of new safety regulations.
Elon is willing to commit a lot of capital and effort into his ideas. the production capabilities of Tesla are improving at a significant clip, and incorporating many state of the art techniques. Elon's approach to innovation is a lot of hype, but there is a lot of hustle to it too. I think he would consider it a waste and not fun any other way.
Deaths are down because we vaccinated all the old people who were dying in the first waves
No, they work by being able to issue a cert for the specific domain that is pointed at them.

It does not work by allowing them to issue a wildcard cert for the entire domain.

For example, `nrmitchi.com` is pointed at Netlify. Netlify can obtain a certificate for `nrmitchi.com` (and `www.nrmitchi.com`, which is also pointed at them). It does not allow Netlify to obtain a cert for `*.nrmitchi.com`, nor should it.

The cost of entry should be expressed as the difference between lower cost or used iPhones and iPads vs similar android devices. Even though there is a cost premium for iOS devices the proven longer longevity of arguably makes them cheaper for most people, especially light users who are happy sticking with a device for 5-8 years. The family members who do tech support for them can mostly rest happy with automatic security updates turned on.
I find that the use of "logical fallacies" to be an intellectual smell as well.

For example, the ad hominem fallacy, where we might trust a doctor just because they are a doctor. Or when we might avoid a restaurant just because of popular opinion (bandwagon fallacy). It's strange that people would seek out these fancy words when we can just say credibility.

Similarly, we culturally expect that judges are not receiving re-election funds from the parties that appear before their court, and not because money necessarily damages their judgment, but rather for the sake of judicial credibility.

The effective judgment of credibility is not as simple as logic.
As long as you aren't giving them money to piss away on drugs or something similar, so what? You would give your family and/or friends an easier and happier life.

Yours is a short question to make, but it requires a very long answer, not fit for a comment box. The negative consequences of prostitution are deeply personal because the effects of sex on the participants go deeper and last longer than the effects of the act of copulation. If you want a good argument against prostitution one route could be to understand the link between sexual expression and: intimacy, self esteem, love, relationships...

So... you don't care if your family never talks to you again? I would.
What I don’t really understand is how we ended up at the point where invasive MDM is even acceptable. People mix their work and personal lives all the time: even if I take my work laptop home and use it, it would be a massive overreach to show up at my house and demand that I let them search it. Why do we accept the equivalent for phones? Ok, I put company email on my phone: you should be able to wipe just that and retain a copy (which, running a central server, you do of course). Why should you have any right to do more than that?
Friends and family have been entering into these type of agreements for years. If you have a group that agrees on the same property we think that's awesome. Our solution isn't for everyone. But we are trying to make this co-ownership opportunity available to everyone. Especially those who want to invest in a property but don't have a group to go in with them.

In terms of disputes, we agree that most can be handled through simple communication. Our platform allows for this. Many of our owners like the idea of having Ancana there to act as a go-between for issues that do arise and to set rules that everyone can agree to.

> Yes, but those structural priors have nothing to do with race, gender, or any other protected attribute.

This seems like wishful thinking. If fed a data set containing 'race' or 'gender' as one of the fields, most models have structural priors that will make them assume all correlations between race/gender and other fields are meaningful. Worse, just because an input data set doesn't have race or gender recorded doesn't mean that the model won't predict them, and then use the results of those predictions to bias its output
Yeah, I agree with your assessment.

I thought you had written that sentence as an example of some Markova chain non-sequitur, and i was just musing that it doesn’t seem like a super unlikely sentence.

“The movie was like ticket” maybe makes the distinction clearer?
Let's also keep in mind that brain size is not a proxy for cognitive ability. Ravens appear to be broadly as smart as chimpanzees despite their brains being 1/20th the size. Likewise neanderthals had larger brains than homo sapiens, which didn't stop them from being outcompeted.
glancing at the code, it appears to just be SVG. and pretty cleanly at that
Why would you vaccinate a dead person?
Do you have a source for the recent data on ADE? I searched and didn’t find anything suggesting this. The only thing I see are studies that more vaccinated people are dying in Israel, but that is to be expected because the older people are, the more likely they are to be vaccinated and they have less immune response to the vaccine.

I think Black Death had quite a bit higher mortality than any version of covid we will see
It provides good security for most people and is a big ease of use trade off. Hardware can be lost, software is difficult for most people to install and use. You need solutions that account for 95% of people. Ideally there’s non SMS for the other 5%, but unless Apple/Google/telcos come out with something better that’s built in, integrated, and dead simple, we’re stuck with SMS for a long time. Security is a spectrum.
300% is still a lot of room to grow. Delta is only about twice as bad as the wild type strain.
The avid hikers I knew in SoCal and WA never made this mistake. They always knew how much to bring, usually bringing extra and dumping out what they didn't need at halfway. In SoCal I brought 2 liters minimum. You must have a different definition of "avid."
Delta-infected patients seem to be 1.8 times more likely to be hospitalised, compared to Alpha-infected patients [1]. Since the covid virus takes two weeks plus to kill its host and also spreads while the host is asymptomatic, there really isn't much selective pressure to make it less deadly. So far infectiousness and severity of disease has gone hand in hand with this virus.

Relax, it's just a discussion, one among countless other discussions around the world about all kinds of topics that may or may not be offensive to you.

Personally I find mysteries like this to be riveting. I'm sad about the family, anxious to find out what happened, and I'm interested in peoples' ideas here. Nothing wrong with that.

EDIT: I'm going to be really unhappy if this turns out to be poisoning by algae. That's a risk that I've never had to account for in life, and it's why I'm particularly interested in this incident.

I've used Mathbox quite a bit, it is flat out incredible, a jaw dropping artful simplicity to use. So I am wondering if this is worth even looking into...
It is. And you're right to be skeptical of such arguments.

But such arguments also happen all the time. For example, if you join a company as a junior developer, most people would trust an existing senior developer.

I was about to write "I think it's fine to mislead kids into thinking they can make money." Then I reconsidered.

After reconsidering, I think it's fine to mislead kids into thinking they can make money. Lemonade stands and lawnmowing for neighbors are examples of this. They may make a little bit, but unless they're exceptionally lucky, no one would be under any illusions that it would become their full time profession.
Anyone else remember when journalists were on some strange anti-SUV crusade. "SUV crashes into pedestrians", "SUV runs off bridge", "5 killed by SUV". The titles really read like SUVs had been co-opted by Skynet and were causing all sorts of mayhem.

I would have a very high opinion of him if he lived by his own standards. It's not special or rare; there are plenty of Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, (etc) ascetics who renounce everything from income all the way to even clothing altogether.

Or if he acknowledged his own hypocrisy, like another philosopher (Diogenes? don't remember) who said something like "if you ask me directions, I'm not obligated to go down that way myself."

I made my comment because I find it worthless to reference someone who doesn't practice what they preach. You might as well quote Bezos or Zuck for some PR statement about how it's important to love your fellow man and donate. It's just cherry-picking a quote from somebody with status that already fits with your predetermined conclusions.
Soviet apartments were constrained by resources (the economy was balancing guns and butter for a long time). I think we can do better.

Also worth mentioning, much of our housing stock, especially rentals, are totally falling apart and unmaintained. Soviet housing was of higher quality to at least some of our existing stock -- especially in poor areas.
They get away with it because it's all kids that doesn't know any better.

I'm not addicted to YouTube. I don't spend that much time on it. It's not my go-to source when I go online. Maybe I'm in the minority, but when you treat it only as a video hosting service where you can follow specific feeds, I don't think it's really problematic.

An argument from authority isn't inherently a fallacy, as your own wikipedia article mentions.

But, like you, I do think it is inherently a flag that suggests other inputs are necessary. And that all opinions that solely reference the authority are equally lower weighted until additional inputs are found to match, or further negate.
In California, most companies that require after hours duties because engineers are on-call, provide a company issued cell phone device because of California Labor Code section 2802: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...

The companies that do not do that are exposing themselves to unnecessary legal risk in the future.
Both the worst-case and the best-case scenario are on the table. Only time will tell what happens. As you seem to be focusing on the worst-case scenario I will talk about the best-case scenario. The best-case scenario is that the human immune system is getting used to corona with even vaccinated people spreading the delta variant with little chance of getting very ill. This will turn covid-19 into something like the common cold or possibly the flu. Who knows what will actually happen? Both my best-case scenario and your worst-case scenario can happen. I think, though, that one should not only focus on the adaptability of the virus. The immune system also has been doing defense against various pathogens for many millions of years.
