My car was behaving strangely recently. Sometimes when I gave it the beans it would pop up a flurry of scary error messages about the engine, that I had to take it to the mechanic to have it checked out and so on.

500 € later and the mechanic could not fix the issue.

Other times, just turning on the engine it would complain that some filter was almost full. And once, on a longer than usual trip, it gave up on me in a pretty steep incline and I had to stop on the side of the road, let it cool down a while, and turn it on again and it worked mostly fine if I didn't accelerate too much.

Then a few weeks ago it did not start at all. So I measured the battery and it turned out it was toast. I had a friend bring me to buy a new one and swapped it in.

The car started fine. But incredibly, it never again displayed any error messages and seems to be completely fixed!

Not really phone related, but yeah, sometimes it can be (surprisingly) just the battery...
But running (compared to sprinting or weight exercises) is not exactly good at building up muscles.
From the link in the article to https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/7/18535644/google-assistant-... , this "Google Assistant driving mode" looks like yet another "ML"-style the-product-manager-thinks-the-computer-should-tell-the-user-what-to-see experience instead of one that just shows the user stuff they ask for. Maybe that's just the homescreen and the actual UX for using it isn't that bad, but it's not promising so far.
Thanks for the heads up of Person of Interest. It sounds right up my alley, and I'm sure I would have given it a pass if not for that.

As I said, it’s in public documentation you could easily check.

Your comment applies equally to the Apple techs or the policy they follow, that says Battery Health indicator is a necessary condition for there to be such battery problems, leading to the spurious "it's the logic board" claim. That's the complaint.
People didn’t understand the horizon. What do you think went over the horizon until we had ships? Many people would have never seen the sea or other large bodies of water as they didn’t travel far.

They could simply automatically raise fees depending on chargeback rate. It’s not a particularly hard problem to solve.
> I'm sorry, you clearly are an apologist in your phrasing

This frankly sounds like some authoritarian ideologue phrasing.

I disagree with Apple's choice here, but the commenter asked how Apple enables CSAM.

While your response disagrees with my assessment of how Apple enables CSAM, it doesn't prevent any alternative theory.

How do you believe Apple enables CSAM?

> It's at best a hollow symbolic gesture against child porn

I have to address this: It's at best an effective measure against child porn, considering Apple is hundreds of thousands to millions short on reported CSAM images compared to other tech companies. There are clearly drastic privacy consequences and potential future overreach, but you can't clearly analyze a policy without acknowledging its benefits.
I can believe the tabloid trash is what people want: I've seen supermarket checkout aisles and daytime TV, the depths of the lowest common denominator have been plumbed before and it seems reasonable that youtube would arrive at much the same place. I can understand occasionally wanting to check the popular content for neat trends that you missed out on, but the idea of seeking out the pop / tabloid experience as your main interaction mechanism is foreign and slightly revolting to me. It's not an escape from the algorithm, it's just another side of the algorithm, and not the best one.

IMO the curated youtube experience is far better. Yes, it recommends similar content and will push you down a rabbithole if you let it, but that's what recommender systems do. The flipside of discovering good content from good choices is discovering bad content from bad choices, and I don't think those can be automatically separated. On occasion you have to actively and firmly tell the algorithm "no" in the form of "don't recommend this channel," but once you do it respects your decision. A tiny bit of curation goes a long way, and if if I didn't let youtube work with me to figure out what I liked I imagine I would wind up doing the same thing but worse by keeping a list of interesting channels that I periodically checked.
What inspired you guys to go with such a long time window? Most of the timeshares I know are like 2 weeks out of the year, but here it looks like you get (for most properties) almost 3 months!! Do people really take 3 month vacations? And even if you broke it up into what seems like a more manageable vacation (something like a month max) that’s still 3 vacations a year!

Also, are the prices on your site the entire price of the house or the price of the share? Because if that’s the price of the whole house that is an insane commentary on how ridiculous US urban housing markets are!!!
You mean Picture in Picture or split app screen?
You should have read the post before commenting.

> By the same logic, XBOX and the OS that runs it should be separate,

That's kind of the case, nowadays; XBOX runs a slightly modified Windows 10, and you don't need to buy a Microsoft brand computer (the XBOX) to play XBOX games (you just need Microsoft Windows 10).

> and the PlayStation and the OS that runs on that should also be split into separate legal entities.

https://wiki.debian.org/PS3

And that's besides the point. Games consoles are for playing video games on, but Apple is selling a general-purpose computing device (according to the adverts, at least). Their smart watches, yeah, I can understand treating that as an embedded system, but the iPhone‽ When they're profiting from their App Store monopoly, they have ulterior motives to keep it locked down, and antitrust should swoop in to save the day.

If you can only put one OS on a device,
Also, they need to view the footage before it's published. Studios do this when they're editing it. It's literally part of their process. A big one will deal with processing four 60 minute videos a day maybe? Onlyfans would presummely be dealing with multiple minutes of footage per minute of the day they would need to screen.
Well, you say "of course" - I'm not sure how that's so obvious. Bluetooth can easily do 1mbps, and that's enough to send some encoded video, which AA does anyway, even with a cable connection the display gets really fully of artifacts and choppy sometimes, whatever compression they are using struggles. If you limited the number of updates per second I'm sure it would be fine over bluetooth alone.
I wonder how could you make a Telegram video call with no device. Or android devices are free?
How do you handle the situation where one owner refuses to make any investment in the property or doesn't pay for investments / costs?
The problem with that kind of argument is that these rules are what everyone pushes to deter traffickers. No one has seriously managed to come up with a viable alternate policy that averts this kind of collateral damage on bona-fide sex work. It's much like saying that all the efforts that are now saving elephants from being poached to extinction are just some shadowy "anti-ivory agenda" rather than being undertaken for the sake of the elephants. Terribly bad faith argument.

> This sort of causal argument is why I tend to cringe at rationalist theory, because not only is it not necessarily true, there's no way to even tell if it were true.

I mean, to be fair I'm leaning myself out the window a lot with that claim. But it seems plausible, and more importantly, the argument is resilient to why reason arose. I'm not saying this in a sense of "this is definitely why we have reason, and that's why I am right"; I'm more saying "even in this case where we don't necessarily have reason because it's useful," (note the alternate theory I list) "that is still no reason (heh) to expect it to mislead us." And I think we can confidently say that reason is useful today, at least, and submit as evidence approximately the last 10000 years of planetary history. I think it's not a big stretch to claim that the reason that reason is useful today may be the reason that it evolved to begin with.

> Ironically I fully agree with this statement, except what I would mean by "historical context" is "the events in your own specific life that influenced your current sentiments", rather than history viewed as a totality.

And again, I don't see why it has to be one or the other. Of course, even and especially in "events in your own life" it is ironically very easy to make up pat just-so stories to justify any reaction or sentiment. In comparison I honestly think evpsych is on a firmer footing, particularly given I don't think psychotherapy needs particularly to be correct about the causes it posits in order to function as therapy. Whereas if you are mistaken about the evolutionary cause of an emotion, you will completely misconstrue it and probably behave badly.

> It can be done, but most rationalists never achieve this, in that it requires understanding the cause of emotion as it relates to one's own subjectivity. This often involves admitting hard truths about oneself

For instance, I am very leery of the notion of "hard truths", because it imbues an argument with value based on the emotional work performed in reasoning it out. This is the exact sort of thing rationality says should not be expected to work. - Something does not become more or less true by being hard to admit; an untruth can be as hard to admit as a truth. You need to have a cognitive mechanism that is in principle capable of producing truths to begin with, in order to even arrive at a hard truth that you can emotionally reject. Without that, you're liable to just admit hard made-up claims as a form of catharsis.

Is something being hard to admit evidence that it is true? Yes, but weakly - if it weren't convincing enough to outweigh being hard to accept, you probably wouldn't even entertain it. (How to be convinced by things that are true but hard to accept is actually a core tenet of rationality - see How To Actually Change Your Mind linked above.) But you still have to do the work to arrive at a true belief about yourself to begin with.
I checked, my reasoning doesn't really apply to global positioning satellites, as they have orbits far outside the LEO, about 20000 km. There's not enough mass there yet to ensure a Kessler cascade. They would have to be targeted individually, a far more difficult task.

Most people don’t even have an option at home in the US, but it would make it harder for them to lobby politicians by not being able to claim everything is fine.

For home, you chose fiber if you’re lucky to have fiber. Most people only have access to coaxial cable internet. If you’re unlucky, you do not even have that.

For mobile, you have Verizon, ATT, and T-Mobile so it is not so bad there.
What I like about regex is that it's kinda "cross platform".

I always though that one could make a markup (like markdown) based on regex . Then you could almost directly parse it in any language environment. I'm not sure what the major drawbacks would be though. I guess the expression could get hairy pretty fast as you handle edge cases :)

I'm still wondering how many "stylists" are good enough for the job. Or maybe I'm just too picky and thus find it hard to imagine that many stilists would be able to find what the other person would like without it being too obvious (hey, I noticed you liked blue things. here's another blue one!). In my imagination it's a very thin line between obviousness and misunderstanding (and the fine line being the absolute understanding of the customer).
Key statement there is 'used to be'. Now that phones are ubiquitous, it makes no sense to just go over someone's place or even call them, when you can just send a text that lets someone respond asynchronously. I also just have a policy of not picking up calls from unknown numbers except if they leave a voicemail or call several times.

Most people that I know only use calls for time sensitive/urgent needs. Most other things, aside from chatting with family etc, are really best handled with a text. For whatever reason the culture around phones has shifted to "don't force people to drop whatever they're doing and respond to a call unless it is actually necessary".
Let's see if I can expand and work through what you wrote. Someone else may need to correct parts.

So the Fed/Treasury passes over the void, and in this vacuum forms a dollar and a T-bill, a particle/antiparticle pair. In this transaction, the Treasury sells a debt obligation (the T-bill), which someone buys with dollars. Then again, and again: We now have a few T-bills and dollars.

There are a few purchasers involved -- a few places to which T-bills flow, and from which dollars flow.

One: A T-bill flows to China. A dollar flows in the opposite direction (they used it to purchase the T-bill).

Another: The Federal Reserve buys a T-bill. This is "quantitative easing", or colloquially "money printing" (as it can be done within the current system). The Federal Reserve gets the T-bill, and the Treasury gets dollars, which then fund US government spending.

The T-bill/dollar current to China is superposed with an opposite current: Simultaneously, a different stream of dollars impinges on China, prompting another current of cargo ships in the opposite direction. These carry iPhones, and flip-flops, and everything else sold at big-box stores.

Enter countries in the US / IMF / World Bank sphere. These have dollar denominated debts (they used the loans to build (hopefully useful) infrastructure). Now they do something to acquire dollars, like accept a stream of tourists, or export coltan or palm oil. In the case of the raw materials, some go to the US (palm oil to food processors), and others to China (coltan to whoever makes tantalum capacitors, which eventually end up in iPhones).

In a net sense, then, dollars flow into the "developing" world, and resources flow out to the West, with those needing industrial steps of the "value chain" traveling via China.

And each of those dollars has a corresponding T-bill "antiparticle", held either in China (or another country), or at the Fed. This prompts another flow of dollars to the holders of all those T-bills, which we call interest. Those dollars now, can come from the sale of yet more T-bills.

Now here I realize that my metaphor is wrong. T-bills and dollars only exist in "pairs" when they are created by a QE transaction. Other T-bills attract dollars from outside (e.g. those sold to China).

Finally, I have left out the commercial banks. I'll need to work fractional reserve banking into this somehow.

This is all becoming pretty complicated. But it still feels like a simplified stock-and-flow model is within reach...
Wow, they had 1500 employees? That's a lot of ... shipping? shopping? customer service?

I'd laugh if the shareholders fired the CEO over a boneheaded move like that, since (at least in my mind) it would seem replacing 1500 people is not a good use of the organization's time and energy and such an exodus was self inflicted
Except when certbot fails (silently) for some unknown and different reason every three months, and you have to ssh in anyway to fix it. Out of all the software I run on my tiny hobby VPS (a few web sites, E-mail), certbot requires more babysitting by an order of magnitude. Even more than spamassassin, which gets wedged regularly. I'm not a professional sysadmin, so something is probably configured incorrectly, but certbot's error messages are so cryptic and non-actionable that I've never been able to solve it. So, I have a calendar reminder every three months to log in to the VPS and figure out what went wrong this time...
Very similar model. We are currently operating in different markets (US vs. Mexico) and are targeting different properties (Pacaso is going after ultra luxury homes). We also have slightly different approaches to splitting up the properties. Pacaso only sells 1/8 shares for all properties, where we also offer 1/4 or 1/10 shares for certain properties based on demand. On the properties side we partner with developers in addition to acquiring existing homes so we are able to sell interest in homes that are not yet built, where Pacaso is only going after existing homes.
This is the heart of the question. My return period is long past. And it's a pretty expensive device.

In my mind: I purchased the washer/dryer with these specific features in mind. Now I no longer have access to what I bought and I'm being locked out of using these features unless I accept the new terms.
The post isn't really comparing apples-to-apples, with the 1970s workspace being a fixed place in an office, and the smartphone being a mobile device that may be used in the field.

No productive office has replaced all those rolodexes and notebooks with just a phone; most have had them replaced for the past 20 years with a desktop computer which has long satisfied the "components operated simultaneously and independently of the phone" requirement.
an iCloud account is free, a Telegram account requires a device. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This question could be very interesting, but they took the straw-man argument route and interviewed people who were clearly underpaid:

> They weren’t surprised, since the starting pay can be as low as $11 an hour, while “you could go to any of the fast-food places and get at least $4 more,” Marcus says.

So… mystery solved. The company is forced to pay higher wages and the market corrects itself.

The more interesting discussion would be around what happens in these circumstances where low pay isn’t an obvious issue. A few jobs ago we had an employee exodus despite above-average compensation. Many people were leaving to jobs that paid less and they didn’t care. They just wanted out. I stuck around for a while under the foolish thought that maybe management would see the exodus as a wake-up call and reverse course on some obviously bad decisions, but instead they doubled down on the bad choices. Eventually they switched to laying off remaining employees and opening a new office somewhere else because the remaining staff was too demoralized to do much.

Strangely, there were a few die-hard employees who sided with management on every move, no matter how obviously bad the outcome. These were largely junior employees who saw the exodus of senior employees as an opportunity to move up fill in the new vacancies.

In some cases, they were right. One of the more combative but inexperienced coworkers I had is now running his own department. He capitalized on the turmoil to advance his own career. However, the department’s progress has ground to a halt and they haven’t had a good software release in years now. Doesn’t matter much for him, because he can now pivot to another company and show a track record of rapid advancement.

>imply they read your mails regularly.

No, but the point is they can. And if there is anything they feel they need to protect themselves, they can investigate. Most corp employees are just too damn busy avoiding doing their regular tasks to be bothered to snoop other employee emails. Yes, I agree that it's not like someone is just tasked with reading all email every day. The point is that they can and do when necessary. Once they start reading, they have no idea where the trail ends so they will be reading a lot.

It all comes down to the same thing stated here multiple times, don't send any messages on corp equipment that you wouldn't want to see read aloud in front of your manager/boss or worse a courtroom.

How about the argument that if prostitution is legal, it's possible for an illegally coercive (trafficked) business to pose as legitimate; whereas if prostitution is not legal, any appearance of prostitution can warrant scrutiny.
Pretty prevalent, and they're supporting far-right parties in Europe and US as well.
There's a difference between asking uncomfortable questions and asking loaded questions that misrepresent reality. The description of the CSAM & revenge porn issue in mainstream media painted the picture that this was a substantial portion of the site's content. In reality few would ever encounter such content, and PornHub did everything feasible to try and remove and report it. No joke, outlets highlighted the fact that "dozens" of instances of this kind of illegal content was found as though this was some kind of epidemic. The fact that incidents measure in the dozens, when 6.8 million videos were uploaded to the site in 2019 alone[1] strikes me more as testament to the rarity of this content.

I don't know if it's actually a plausible outcome, but take advertising out of the equation and you probably end up with a significantly more limited Internet that's mostly accessed from institutional accounts (as was originally the case) and by individuals who are fine with a fairly expensive subscription fee.

ADDED: I do tend to think the commercialization of the Internet with advertising was probably inevitable, but someone could probably construct at least a vaguely plausible narrative around a less commercialized post-NSFNET world.
Not sure it’s reasonable to search an international search engine with a regional slang and then complain when it doesn’t recognise it.
