I don't know about the US, but here in the UK prepaid mobile isn't necessarily looked down upon, but it's significantly more expensive than a contract. It's the main reason why people just go with a contract despite being locked in for 2 or more years. Even sim-only contracts are considerably cheaper.
Because it's on the internet!
The Chinese have figured out how to use a VPN. I'm sure you can too!
And if that owner of an "independent share" decides after purchasing the share that they don't want to do business with you? What about if they can't make it out to Mexico that year, and they want to AirBnB the property for those weeks?
Exactly. American open source developers shouldn't be blamed for things the American government does.
I think he means maintenance costs. I own several rental properties, and I'm always coughing up large chunks of cash for water heaters, furnaces, AC units, rotting decks, and the like. What if an owner can't pay? Is there some sort of management reserve?
long time r/the_donald and patriots.win reader. it was coordinated essentially, many online users were saying and planning worse, but in a very effective distributed grassroots way. you had several leaders and influencers saying similar things. it was not hierarchical like a criminal conspiracy. more like bitcoin nonsense.
Looking at my feed i only see posts my connections like (although these are often cringy posts) and pages i follow. I do use an adblocker, so perhaps the random posts you see are promoted posts?

There are a lot of churches in the US, though. If we only paid taxes that went to churches - who knows - it might reach Afghanistan levels. Plus, there would be even more “private contractors from god” getting into the game.
Privacy can only be maintained by policies and regulation, not by technology. This hashing and scanning client-side, broken as it might be, is merely a technology. Technology to ensure privacy, as established by corporations, can always be legally circumvented by governments and what they allow or require by policy for their region, if said government is part of a large enough market that companies have to pay attention to it. Therefore the only solution is global agreement to privacy as a human right… and that seems unlikely right now. Runner up would be individual alternative apps for privacy (such as a camera app) but those can be banned by policy depending on the region you’re in, or potentially subject to the same rules/policies. In a democracy, if you disagree, your only option is talking to lawmakers, those who decide on policy. But again, it would likely only affect your region…
But not amazing to be called spontaneously.
Interestingly, I find myself subject to the opposite quite often. It's a common cliché in the US to describe superlative athletic ability as "defying gravity." Would you consider that a thought-terminating cliché?

I'm happy to continue to discuss this with you, but I would ask that you please refrain from name calling.
One aspect I find frightening about interpreting prositution as a "real job" is that women could be denied unemployment benifits if they reject a job that would involve them selling their body and their consent.

> The same argument could be made about IT. Prostitutes sell their private parts, programmers sell their brains.

I don't think this works, because a brain is a "tool" used to "produce" a service, while a prositute is actually just providing their body to be used. They are competing with puppets and animals (e.g. https://www.vice.com/en/article/dpdnp7/yo1-v14n10), and are as such reduced to objects potentially beyond human dignety.

Your opinion may be unpopular, but I appreciate the perspective you bring to the table.

I do think there is merit to the idea of market segmentation and value offerings in different ways:

1 - Eyeballs : Give us attention in exchange for browsing

2 - Premium : Pay us, and we will omit all ads

3 - VendorCosted: Vendor pays, and we omit all ads from certain content

Another way is to publicly protest. If enough people are loud enough, this goes away.
> As for bias on white faces vs. black, its my understanding that it just is harder to recognize black faces because of lightning effects.

If humans can manage it, then it's not harder a priori. It's harder with respect to certain algorithms – i.e., the choice of algorithm is introducing a bias. (Though in reality, this is usually more a problem of training data issues.)
Something that is true in 98% of cases is not absurdly wrong.

You corrected nothing.
For real, does the device have a camera or microphone? I don't know what else could be using that much data.

A quick Google seems to show they don't have built in voice control. That's just a huge amount of data if it's not sending some sort of media back home. Could always be poor programming for logging or something, but that wouldn't be my first suspect.
Why? 99% of Reddit is a dumpster fire.

What was amazing about it? In my experience phone calls are composed of ten percent the reason you made the call, ninety percent time-wasting greetings, farewells, and pointless smalltalk.
It’s ok. You were just being a little crypto.
You're repeatedly asking this question, and asking people to justify their stance, while offering nothing yourself.

Sorry - not going to play that game.

In what part of the world do people live as their ancestors have for centuries? I witnessed that a few decades ago in rural China. I don't think it's true there anymore. I can't imagine there are enough places now to constitute "most of us".
> I can rightfully see this leading to questions about how "free" Red Hat really is

I think it's a very apt question. Free Software isn't free if you can only use it as long as the US doesn't deem your country as hostile. (Note: your country, not even you as a specific individual. It's that crazy). Free Software isn't Free-as-in-friendly-to-the-US, or at least it shouldn't be.

All my sources seem to disagree with you.
I used to work at Kollmorgen — they really are top-notch for this kind of work, but there is a relatively large used market available on eBay. No need to buy direct from them, unless you want brand new stuff at a markup.

My uncle uses Kollmorgen drives and servos on his homemade CNC, all sourced from second-hand machines and people, so it's totally possible to do!
Right, so we should all just sit down, shut up and wait for Apple's implementation to be used nefariously.
It seems apple devices are a black opaque box:
support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
Every thing is encrypted except imap email storage. They have no access to anything except that. They can't do anyting with any data except imap emails stored on their server.

The governments want them to do some thing preventing CSAM, so now they can match a perceptual hash--not content--to known images from an non-governmental organization. That is about the minimum invasive CSAM prevention anybody can do.

Can someone suggest an alternative CSAM prevention which is less intrusive?

It seems the alternative would be to continue to be a black opaque box, or NOT encrypt you photos and rumage through them.
Stick an animal, even a human, into a room of non-realistic objects, misleading proportions etc., and see how well it orients itself: it will be very bad. That is because sight and orientation rely heavily on intelligence: we can tell how far something is because we recognize the object and can tell whether it is small and close or large and far away. Even if one object is misleading, we look at other objects around and can usually tell if we're looking at a toy car on a real road etc.

But betting your FSD on doing object reconition and physical intuition seems like a bad bet.
> To think they’re a part of this mass conspiracy to take powerful entities down is laughable.

I agree with your overall sentiment, but the fact that a journalist may make $20/hr is all the more reason for motivating them, individually, towards uncovering mass conspiracies. In other words, a large scandal no matter how true or not that garners a lot of attention is sure to lead to potential writing prizes, more compensation, bonuses, etc. So while I don't think every media company has some grand Murdoch-like figure that can play individual journalists like puppets, I do think there is a lot to be gained by an individual journalist leaning towards being overly harsh.
But that’s not race.

Race is explicitly about using visible differences to mark a group of people as a “lower” class. Race has nothing to do with genetics; it’s a sociological invention. There are some correlations between ancestral heritage and disease prevalence at the population level, but because genetic disease susceptibility is generally are not visible to the naked eye, conditions cannot be “racist”.

Skin color was chosen because it made it easier to identify escaped slaves, as all previous attempts to enslave people were difficult when the escaped slaves could blend in to the population. But other things like “Jewishness” or red hair have also been racialized at various points through history.

There’s also the interesting phenomenon how the definition of “white” keeps changing. At first it meant only English immigrants, but was later extended to all Protestant immigrants, and much later to Catholics (Irish and Italian minorities). Its absolutely a made-up distinction, and we just group people with dark skin together because it’s a lazy shortcut.

Ah interesting, so you're saying that GMail is not likely to be avoiding the POST requests if they're in the JS code? I have a passing, non-professional familiarity with Web practices, so this isn't something I have a great intuition for.
You begin your comment by addressing the failings of “technically sophisticated critics” but then you go on to list a number of legal and policy questions that have very little to do with technology. As a computer scientist I can’t tell you with precision exactly what legal and extra-legal mechanisms could be used to compel Apple; what I can tell you is that Apple’s technology does not prevent that compulsion. I can only assume you meant “technical critics” in some broader sense that doesn’t include technologists.

Regarding extra-legal compulsion, the only thing I can point out is that there is no US law on the books that requires Apple to deploy this on-device scanning system. But Apple is deploying it anyway. If you speak to anyone at Apple off the books they’ll tell you bluntly that they’re doing this to satisfy pressure from law enforcement and regulators (along these lines [0].) So the existence of powerful extra-legal compulsion is not debatable. The question is how far it might extend? Only Apple can answer that question, not “technical critics.” Unfortunately Apple’s public communication has been to mostly avoid addressing the existence of the pressure at all, even though everyone agrees it exists in some form.

We're humans. We do that even when we're generating those coefficients in our own brains; it's irresponsible to teach a computer how to find lots of correlations, show the results to humans, then try to say "but we didn't mean to imply that the correlation was meaningful!".
I think it is not quite that simple. The key insight isn't realizing that you don't love yourself, or whatever, but realizing that your behavior today is seated in specific reinforcing memories from your past, which can be specifically re-framed in a way that causes the present behavior to dissipate, as if by magic. Assuming that is really the mechanism for what's happening, I don't see a reason to think, a priori, that just 'loving oneself' is sufficient, as it wouldn't exercise that exact mechanism for self-transformation. Anyway, my particular case did not involve anything to do with loving myself, but the same machinery seemed to work for a very different neurotic behavior.
BNF is pretty standard, no? Maybe I just haven't seen enough of the ways it is surely abused in the wild ….
Min wage workers for hotels and restaurants other service sector employees have been in sufficient supply that those businesses have not had to consider that.

It might also be true that a lot of the products and services of those businesses simply are not valuable enough to be viable without extremely low labor costs.
This is a junk article. Why is it even on the front page?

60 years ago, before even the ARPANET, there was Newton Minow giving a speech [1] about how TV was garbage (the "vast wasteland" speech). If you want to read something timeless, read that instead.

Woof, that was a lot of marketing speak to wade through to basically say "Timeshare-as-a-Service". I know you're 'different' (every startup is), but maybe honesty is really the best policy here. I feel like if you said this was a digital timeshare outright, it would feel less scam-like to the average person who doesn't know/care about this in the slightest. If you establish an honest basis of communication, then you can delineate all the ways you're different from the rest. Otherwise, this unfortunately reads kinda like a newspaper ad from a never-before-seen company.
It's also amazing (but maybe not really surprising) that "conspiracy theory" isn't in the Wikipedia article. I wonder if someone tried to add it already.

They certainly anticipated it and in all likelihood hoped for it. I doubt they plan on replacing every employee that left.

This reads like an advertisement for peer to peer apps like Manyverse[1], Iris[2], or Capsule[3].

He mentions mirror.xyz in the footnotes, but I can't figure out what that is. One of those annoyingly exclusive projects like Clubhouse. The fact that not letting people in was a "feature" really just turned me off. Sour grapes, but oh well.

Pocket is an offline reader (and content reformatter), like instapaper, it's a rather different use case than bookmarks.

I don't bookmark articles I intend to read, but I do shove them in pocket, from where I can access them later then mark them as read.
iMessage is exclusive to iPhones and works in the same application that does SMS, seamlessly.

The problem OP is alluding to is that some people avoid talking with people who don’t have iMessage, because SMS costs money. So there is a bit of peer pressure to use it, and a lot of people are stuck in iOS because of that.

It’s not that different from Signal/Telegram/WhatsApp, those apps are also closed and rely on network effects. But they are free and work on other OSs, while iMessage requires a relatively expensive phone.

Ok. I am wrong in my predictions a lot but this seems way more complicated than just having a computer interface on a bulldozer or whatever - especially given a lot of the cost to operate them is already one of liability

I’m not saying the rally was the only cause, I’m saying it’s silly to phrase a description of the rally as if it were an unrelated event. It was related.
I've heard so many people say they think iPhones are 'listening to them talk' because they'll talk about some product then go on Instagram/Google and see an advertisement for that type of product. Obviously they were just targeted really well and missed some other data connection.

Humans are good at pattern matching to notice trends but non-technical people always tend to blame something higher up in the stack, like the device in their hand. Or jump to something more malicious by the all-knowing powerful big tech companies.
Yeah I should have put "right-wing" in scare quotes.
I thought the classical period was earlier than that! Thanks for the correction.

I use that same sort of menu in XFCE for quickly accessing a folder in a deep hierarchy, and I really like it. A lot faster than navigating through a file explorer.

That said I've used another application on Windows that had deeply nested menus, and hated it. The difference was in how the menus were implemented. The menus for this application would close if the mouse moved off the menu at all, while the GTK ones do not - they only close if you hover over a different menu item (opening it instead) or click off the menu. That made navigating the application's menus a tedious exercise in "threading the needle" with the mouse cursor.

I assume BeOS didn't make that mistake.
YC Company Abstra.app – Thank You
Perhaps some of you hang out here, but I just wanted to say I love your product and your vision. I've been playing with it over the last few days, and it feels like a game changer in terms of being able to rapidly turn out little web app experiments I do all the time but don't have the patience to make public and accessible online.

Lowcode/nocode is going to democratize so much of development, allowing so many more people to do it, but from my perspective an equally big benefit is hopefully a massive increase great interactive content that help showcase all these amazing emerging technologies, especially in generative AI.

Lastly, they gave me some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. Truly above and beyond. YC, you guys have a real jem here!

Minimum wage works well for a bit, but eventually inflation wipes it out, right?

I think what is more likely here is that businesses are betting that people will eventually burn through their savings and pandemic money and come back. It is a competition to see who remains solvent longer.

If the people and government really wanted to play hardball, we'd do something like a basic income. Then businesses would have to provide a working environment that people are actually willing to voluntarily show up to.
Calling it (or instapaper) a bookmarking tool is rather underselling what they're doing. They're not a list of URLs for you to find later (possibly repeatedly).
These were clothing style pickers, and it sounds like the CEO intended to get rid of many or most of them.

It wasn't just quitting. They were offered $1000 in severance. Only a third of the workers took the offer.

It seems like they're trying to get consistency from fewer staff that are more focused on the job. And less costly to employ. That, or eventually replace them with algorithmic picking.

The company missed revenue targets, lost multiple senior staff, and the new CEO is from Bain capital. They're doing this on purpose.

I'm surprised the post didn't mention Operation Choke Point, an Obama era regulation that put more restrictions on payment processing for certain categories.

I think it's easy to point to "religious groups" and op-eds and not to the overall regulatory push into more aspects of the economy.

That seems like a silly thing to suggest.

I would be interested in knowing what these researchers developed, and how it relates to what Apple has done.

If their work identifies technical weaknesses that apply, don’t you want to know what they are?

Edit: I found their work, and it doesn’t apply.
Property management = upkeep of the property, cleaning the home after each visit, handling of any issues that arise with the home or between owners. Each property has a reserve fund that all co-owners pay into (somewhat similar to an HOA). For small improvements and repairs, we'll take care of the work and pay for it out of the reserve fund. For larger home improvements, co-owners can put the issue up for a vote and if necessary will contribute their pro rata share of the costs.
I use Stitch Fix and personally I don't care. So far the selections have been great.

It sounds like the stylist is provided data from an algorithm already any way and just fine tunes the selections.

Not only that they have a lot of ways to build out the style you already received which is great.
What does need to change federally is the min wage for workers exempt from overtime pay. At $36k, it is far too low for even the cheapest states.

I think it should be at least $100k if not far more, since a lot of employers rely on a couple of $36k to $50k employees who do not have better options in life to work 60 to 80 hours per week and on call to fill in the gaps caused by having a rotating, underpaid staff. They are “managers” only in the sense that they are on call and liable for jumping into work for whatever position is missing. They do not actually manage anything.
