You're viewing trust in apple as a binary choice. It is not. Trust is a spectrum like most things. You need to get away from that digital thinking. It's the whole reason we have to challenge government and be suspicious of it. It's the same with companies.
There are other alternatives beyond "spreading out" and "sitting on our hands".

Solving world hunger does not need expansion. Stopping climate change does not need expansion. Preventing the upcoming antibiotics crisis does not need expansion. To the contrary, expansion makes all those things worse or has even started them in the first place.

Are you in Canada by chance? I have fond childhood memories of smuggling cheese across the border from the US because the dairy protectionism has resulted in prices that are 3x higher. We used to do that with electronics too, but Canada has no electronics industry so it's weird why it was so much more expensive. The gap has decreased in recent years.
This is exactly what I'm working on at https://www.inngest.com. You can write statically typed workflows, run any code as an action (if it runs in a container, or use lambda otherwise), have complex conditionals, and coordinate between events (eg. pause until an event comes in that matches a condition, with TTL paths). There's a debugger to step-over workflows, and see the input/output as it happens. Coming soon, the ability to run actions locally during debug mode.

Workflows are statically typed in that they have event triggers - ideally with an event schema (which we generate for you) - and each "action" has static typing of inputs/outputs (plus additional workflow configuration for reusability). They're defined as code, and can be viewed or edited visually.

It also bundles an event hub, so you can automatically run workflows when events happen in real time. For example, if you want to run a churn flow on signup, create a workflow with a `signup.new` event trigger. The workflows can also coordinate between events, too, so in the churn workflow you can wait for an "interactivity" event from the user for up to 1 day, then time out and run some other flow/logic.

It's workflows, generalised. As if you put Github Workflows, Lambda, Segment, and Zapier in a blender.

It's really weird, but you're right, I noticed the same thing.

Anymore I try to avoid using GPS anywhere in my city, and it's both taught me a lot and also 'explore' a lot. My wife always asks if I'm afraid of getting lost, but I always tell her 'ah, all roads connect somewhere', which makes me feel better at least. I can only think of a couple times I truly felt turned around enough to pull out GPS.
Yea, I agree with the Google bit but this part made me think GP is being sarcastic…. Those 3 elements are part of the same Ecosystem and in a way, the same product.

The author seems to make some grand philosophical point. Instead here is my take :

a handy list of things we know markets can't solve in societies best interest ( 1: at some specific scale , 2: given a certain moral framework )

-Healthcare(/insurance)

-Currency

-Transport / Infrastructure

-schooling

>Are kids still even active on facebook?

10 years ago in college, about 90% of my friends were using Facebook every day.

Today, we're ~30 y/o. I'd estimate about 10% of my friends use facebook every day, and more than 50% of them use it less than once week.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that many people younger than me are barely using facebook at all. Most of the people I interact with on facebook these days are older relatives.
Who said anything about fake porn hashes? China can just say to Apple: We want everyone whose phones contain XYZ subversive content.

Don't like it? Don't sell phones. Apple will cave.

Note that you don't even have to arrest everyone. The fear is enough to prevent thoughtcrime.
It's essential because people aren't going to stop doing recreational drugs when you tell them they need to stay in their houses. You just push them to using the informal economy which won't comply with spread prevention guidelines.

They tried to declare dispensaries and liquor stores non-essential in CO, and the run on stores caused a couple super spreader events within hours before they reversed their decision. A brewery near by made some awesome glasses that say "Denver Prohibition 3/23/2020 3PM - 3/23/2020 5PM Never Forget".
If the problem is a lack of understanding of the status quo, then it isn't fair to criticize Apple alone. People ought to demand answers about the state of server-side scanning from Facebook and Microsoft and everyone else that employs PhotoDNA as well. The most popular article submitted to HN with "PhotoDNA" in the title garnered hardly any interest at all, even though someone there implied that a hash collision might be possible five years in advance.

>that includes a definition of wage theft

AFAIK it boils down to "amount that employees should have been paid but haven't". That might sound comparable to regular theft, but it's not, because it fails to account for the intent component. If you forgot to scan a bag of potatoes in your shopping cart and you walked out of the store with it, it's not theft because you didn't intend to do it. I'm not saying that all wage theft can be excused this way, but I'm not a fan of the combination of naming/definition.
True, but the analysis was done on files downloaded over the span of two or three days. If someone had decided to change the CSS class of an infobox during that time, I'd have noticed, investigated and adjusted my code appropriately.

> After suffering significant failures during this critical transition period, Facebook found that it lacked the business talent and engineering acumen to quickly and successfully integrate its outdated desktop-based technology to the new era of mobile-first communication. Unable to maintain its monopoly or its advertising profits by fairly competing, Facebook’s executives addressed this existential threat by buying up the new mobile innovators, including its rival Instagram in 2012 and mobile messaging app WhatsApp in 2014.

Man, I hate FB as much as the next guy, but this argument is weak as hell.

FB was still the #1 mobile app in the world when they bought up both of these companies. Hell, neither were even direct competitors any more than Oculus was.

FB's play is clearly a horizontal integration - they want as many different types of products to fall under their single advertising pane of glass as possible. The FTC is going after them for doing the exact opposite thing.
That depends on average rainfall, land area controlled per person, the variability of rainfall, and usage patterns.

The simple answer is to look at average per-capita or household water use, average annual rainfall, and determine how much surface area (often a rooftop) is required to supply residential needs.

Example: 15" (380mm) of rainfall over a 3,000 ft^2 (280m^2) roof is 28,000 gallons (100k litre) per year. That's 75 gallons/day (290 l/day). And would be typical of amounts that a Northern California suburban household might expect.

Since rainfall is mostly in the winter months (November -- May or so), you'd likely want to have storage for at least half of that, which would be roughly the size of a typical backyard swimming pool (10' * 20' * 4' avg depth).

Keep in mind that in many parts of the world, high populations corresponde to very high population densities, and the actual land-surface area per person is low. There are also regions in which residences are ephemeral or unstable, such that long-term investment is not attractive or individually sensible.

Many high-population areas are also located in regions in which there is high rainfall (east, southeast, and southern Asia especially, also the Philippines and portions of South and Central America). Water may not be a limiting factor in those places.

Water availability and access tends to be highly localised. There is a lot of water on the planet, the problems are having it where people are, when people need it. Household usage is one question, but if you're looking at agricultural water, the quantities and other requirements (when and where irrigation is required) scale up tremendously.

Which is a long way of saying "it depends". Which is what I said at the beginning anyhow.
You can't buy a car in EU that doesn't have a sim card. All Tractors have a computer that locks out the machine if it doesn't like something and phones home. Almost every TV on sale is 'smart' and spies on what you are saying.
Coffee machines, lights and toasters are now internet connected, and all of them send data to a server that will be scanning for the 'wrong' material. in 10 years there will be nowhere to hide.

> Chef Infra is a powerful automation platform that transforms infrastructure into code. Whether you’re operating in the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid environment, Chef Infra automates how infrastructure is configured, deployed, and managed across your network, no matter its size.

In an imprecise nutshell: You specify what needs to exist on the target system using Chef's DSL and Chef client will converge the state of the target to the desired one.
There's always the Office Space approach. I would add crypto mixing before it drops in a bank account though. ;)
In my opinion, a lot of these problems are organizational in nature as the tech industry wrestles with how to integrate data science into product development.

Too often there are siloed "data science teams" who do the best they can to field asks from tons of different business areas. Within those teams there are handoffs to labeling teams run offshore in MTurk style, handoffs to data engineers to build ETL to feed the modeling efforts, and then when models are finally trained there's a handoff to machine learning engineers to implement them!

Clearly data scientists need to be better integrated into product development flows, and not treated like a strange specialized black box.

VScode sometimes shows me the wrong file for the function definition (very nasty also when it's the 'right' file from the wrong git worktree).

Remote view loose all the opened tabs very often.

Once, I suspected a bug in the logger due to truncated traces but it was VScode which truncated the line (nedit a very old editor didn't have this issue).

Also I had regularly to ask my colleague to stop it's VScode because it was using >30GB of RAM, fortunately this doesn't happen anymore either VScode or its plugin is fixed or she has given up configuring as an IDE I don't know.

And no CLion isn't better C++ IDEs sucks..

He said that Afghans visa applicants didn't want to leave. I'm not talking about the ANA here, I'm talking about interpreters who for three years have been trying to get out of Afghanistan because they and their families are targets for assassination. He blatantly lied. The backlog is enormous and the process has been incredibly slow.

>Obviously from your vacation comment (he was at Camp David which is like 30 mins by heli from the White House)... you're just being partisan and a troll.

It doesn't matter where he spends his vacation, just that he went back on vacation. 10,000 Americans and nearly 80,000 Afghans who worked with the US against the Taliban are now in the hands of the Taliban.

Your comment is identical in its deflection to Biden's retort to being asked about Afghans falling to their deaths. "That was four days ago, five days" he said, (incorrectly by the way as it was the day before), as though when they were falling was issue and not that they were falling.
Multiculturalism is kind of the holy grail, but it requires that all participating culture value multiculturalism above all.

It is similar to democracy, you must accept and yield to the fact that everyone should have an equal say, and deserve basic rights, irregardless of your own beliefs and judgements.

You have to value live and let live above all else. You have to value having someone else do as they please as long as it doesn't prevent you from doing as you please above all else, even above your belief of heaven and hell, of how God wants men and women to act, of what you think is decent or not, good or bad, fun or boring, smart or dumb, etc.

I think this is often abridged as valuing Freedom and Liberty above all else. Where freedom is the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do; and liberty is the absence of arbitrary restraints, taking into account the rights of all involved. That means your top most value is maximizing Freedom while respecting the Liberty of others.

And traditionally, a Liberal is someone who has this as their top most value.

And this is the paradox, because values are often a big part of one's culture, but for multiculturalism to work, all must share this one value, and so you could say that makes it they must share culture to some extent, as they must all share this one value and have it as the most valuable value of all, that means multiculturalism only works if everyone is a Liberal.

I just described the underpinning of multiculturalism. It only works if everyone shares this one value, which means it doesn't work to just put a bunch of people together that don't share this value. That makes multiculturalism its own culture.

In practice, it will make for a very diverse place, but in terms of value, everyone will value this diversity above all else.

Edit: Most of the time it also helps to value fraternity, which is that you value mutual support within society. So you'd want to maximize freedom while respecting other's liberty, and provide support to others when in need. I think this has to be the commonality between all members for multiculturalism to work well.
No, "US Government" means government at all levels in most uses.
I don't think so. The success of this would all hinge on an un-easy trust between the organizers and the individuals. Backstabbing your partner would ensure that you would never get anyone else to do this for you again. That would be the end of your operation. You need the world to know that yes people really do this for you, and yes they really do get paid.

A similar dynamic is at play between ransomware attackers and their victims. Why would ransomware attackers restore files from a successful attack after the ransom is paid? Easy. The attackers need the world to know that paying the ransom will work, otherwise no one would pay it.
I didn't mean to imply that it was any less arbitrary (the arbitrariness of the numbers is disputed in other threads), only that I view the feds setting that number as overstepping.
