Computer - Thinkpads with Linux or BSD flavours - enough to run web apps, and a capable SSH client.

Phone - Nokia 225 (dumbphone) - enough to call 911 or my partner/mother/pizza shop.

I'm keeping my iPhone SE, but it's essentially going to stay in one or two rooms at home, only used for things that need a mobile device.

The key is adjusting your expectations. I don't get apps at easy reach anymore, but I don't need them and never should have had them in the first place. My personality is far too prone to addiction, and physical control is easier than self control. That it's going to have a positive impact on my privacy/security/safety is just a nice plus.
Maybe you should speak for yourself! :)
So is heroin, crack, and meth.... at least until it's not.
Captains do not carry tasers. Some pilots are members of the flight deck officer program and carry handguns to defend the cockpit. They generally aren't supposed to get involved in restraining unruly passengers.
It probably will! I actually looked into buying a color e-ink display, but ended up using a The Frame instead for a couple of reasons:

* They are incredibly expensive if you want ~32"

* I wasn't sure that it would've worked together with the Nvidia Xavier NX.
Typically, I'll split the workspace in 2 (i3 wm), have a terminal with vim on the right, and a stack of terminals on the left. One terminal would be with the shell mainly for interacting with git, running tests, manage the directory structure, building/packaging the project, etc. Another may have a project-specific console to interact with functions in the project as I write them. Another may have a development server running and show the live log output. I may tile this last one in a small corner above the vim window so it stays visible.

Terminal windows is what most of my windows are, but typically I'll also have a browser window for looking at documentation and interacting with the issue tracking system. If it's a personal project, I may have an emacs org-mode window for managing my tasks there.

I regularly fullscreen to different windows when I want more room or to focus on them.
Definitely, the effect of algorithms gets discussed regularly - but I can't recall encountering any significant discussions about the effects of design (UI, functionality, etc) of social media platforms. As far as I can tell, the idea is almost completely off the radar.
An attempt to make Neovim as functional as an IDE
I’ve bought a Google Pixel 4a today to do some testing with Graphene OS.

I already have my data in Nextcloud so that makes the switch easier but some things like WhatsApp are going to be harder and for that it appears the Matrix bridge is the thing.

What ever path I go down my partner is going to follow so it has to just work and take great photos. If the Pixel 4a as a test device works I’m excited about the Pixel 6 Pro.

On the desktop, just got the new Mac Mini and not looking to jump yet but Linux is a decent desktop OS. All I need is Firefox, a Terminal and Jetbrains to get the job done.
The installation is impressive but the output is underwhelming. Then again, I feel the same about the pieces in most contemporary art museums.

I find it strange that people are surprised that a significant component (but by no means all) of schooling is childcare. It is also education, socialization, and general development, but having a smaller number of adults providing childcare makes sense as a society, even before we think about childcare aptitude.
Happily Linuxing on a Dell Precision 5550

Very surprisingly decent touchpad for a PC, lighter than my last MBP, same usbc/thunderbolt 3 ports & charger I've now become familiar with and have peripherals for littered around the house (plus — and this may seem dumb ̄— but something so small as the fold-out HDMI/USBA dongle included in the box just drives home that little bit further how actively user-hostile Apple are).
Can you please cite these safety tests?
It absolutely is. It's just a pretty narrowly-defined backdoor (which could always be subject to widening).
> Why is obtaining an ID "intentionally designed" this way.

Because when you make the places to get them few in number and difficult to get to, then make the lines to get them very long, you create hurdles for people who have jobs that are not overly friendly towards long or variable absences.

This is intentional, much as many places in the United States have reorganized voting locations to themselves be difficult to get to. Disenfranchisement is intentional.

> Don't you need to get a driving license to drive? ... Do disadvantaged groups not get driving licenses?

Many in the United States live in urban areas where they're not required and where they may not be economically feasible. (These folks tend not to vote for the people who are pushing ID requirements.)

> A passport to re-enter the country?

The set of Americans who never have cause to leave the country is very large.

Sure. To be more precise: you can prove this to yourself by contriving a function that has more live variables/values than there are machine registers.

I am replying to someone who pulls up numbers for all accidents with emergency vehicles, because those stationary numbers do not exist.

My remark on that is : non-stationary emergency vehicles also cause accidents, so the number is not comparable with Teslas/SmashedEmergencyVehicle.

> Wouldn't it be difficult to find other developers that are experienced using Elm?

Yes, however:

- Elm has a very small surface area (you can read through the guide [0] in a weekend)

- There are many folks who love functional programming && are willing to learn Elm

So, given those two facts, the lack of Elm developers compared to other "markets" is not a big issue.

For me, personally, the only risk with Elm is its incredibly opaque development. It's led by Elm's BDFL and a few other folks and it's almost as though they go out of their way to make Elm hard to adopt for outsiders.

For example, all you have to do is change elm's version to 1.0.0 to signal to outsiders that, yes .. Elm is and has been production ready for quite a while now (years?). Instead "insiders" will reason and rant about how 0.19.1 is fine.

Or just blackmail and/or bribe the reviewers. Presumably you could add some sort of 'watermark' that would be obvious to compromised reviewers. "There's $1000 in it for you if you click 'yes' any time you see this watermark. Be a shame if something happened to your mum."

Type checking is not a panacea. You cannot use type checking to spot and fix all bugs.

Funny enough the problem you raised was trivially solvable by creating a BNF-like checker based on the spec for "THEIR" API response data.

YOU just didn't want to do it.

I'm pretty sure there are solutions at least in C++ and Java (eg. validate at the edge and convert it into a ValidatedString type and use this type throughout), but honestly, you seem like the type that complains about missing incoherent features that can be trivially resolved (and not recognizing that the "imperfect" parts being an inherent part of the problem as opposed to being a deficiency in tooling), so I'll just leave my comment at that.
Really? They are both effectively the same, except Amazon will sell the data gathered to the government and anyone else willing to pay for it. And those companies will sell it to other companies. And some of those companies will get hacked and then the data goes s effectively public domain.

For anyone else who has experienced the frustration of trying to find a Linux replacement for the iPad, I highly recommend the Microsoft Surface.

I tried a variety of alternative tablets/touchscreen options, until finally I bought a used Surface Pro 3 for ~$100 on eBay and installed PopOS. Over the last year, it's been the best tablet I've ever owned (at least for my needs), including iPads.

The "resource curse" theory suggests that it's usually easier to bribe the leaders to let you ship in experts and ship out resources. You might get one very nice road that goes between the resources and the (air)port but the rest of the humans living there might as well be orangutans in a palm oil plantation. They're going to have a bad time and not see much of the wealth that gets extracted reinvested in their society as there's no real incentive to do so as you might if you needed to build the next silicon valley with courts and lawyers and universities and managers and experts etc.
But this was already true! I don't get why this is the thing that's made people realize that they have zero control over their phones and that Apple could have any time in the last decade just uploaded all of your data to the FBI if compelled to.
Take an Excel file and change the extension to .zip, then extract the contents. You will see that it is a collection of XML files. Therefore it should be reasonable to conclude that this approach can work for Excel sized datasets.

However it is not particularly readable/diff-able if this is part of your use case.
> Shouldn't we be placing the blame on people flushing meds down the toilet?

Obviously, people shouldn't do that. But some antibiotics go through the body almost unchanged. When penicillin was first developed they used to recycle the antibiotic from the patient's urine over and over because they had so little of it.
All sigma 1 agonists in test for covid seem to work very well to prevent serious disease symptoms and death. They appear to modulate the immune system's response to the virus (including cytokine storm) which is what causes most of the damage.
The visual presentation of the Simpson Paradox was illuminating to me.

This was a great article. I remember reading a thought exercise about how statistics can mislead us - imagine a hospital with 20% patient survival and another competing hospital with 90% survival. Your intuition knowing only that information is that one hospital is better than the other, but then, the exercise has you break down the data based on patient age, reason for admission, etc. And it can be constructed that the "worse" hospital can actually better in every scenario of patient survivability even if in aggregate they are worse.

Simpsons Paradox is a reminder that our intuitions can be very wrong.

Brazil has become a big open air experiment on the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin and/or Ivermectin, separately and together. Those specific drugs don't seem to help that much, if at all. On the other hand, they may have severe side effects. (Dexamethasone do work in critically ill patients though)

It's a tough call. I really want to support science and probably some combination of drugs in the above studies work. It's just hard to know which ones.

Great article and impressive demonstration of Simpson's paradox at work. This really goes to show how a too naive application of statistics can lead to completely wrong results.
If it's safe, then this is just a revenue scam for the doctor/insurance companies.

I hear you, I'm in the same position. I started by turning off iCloud, running Ubuntu in Parallels. Then last night I got Ubuntu dual booting on my MBP!

Once you disconnect from iCloud, or have one non-Apple device, the whole ecosystem benefit starts to unravel.
> I think the competition has too many tradeoffs.

I believe that, for example, anticorruption activists and gay people in Russia who may be subjected to state-imposed surveillance won't agree with you. Apple won't leave even the russian market in case the government demands to expand capabilities of the system. And they will never leave chinese market.

>I pay about $10,000 a year for healthcare and my company pays roughly another $20,000

Oh wow. What are your circumstances where these costs make sense? Did you/your wife give birth, and someonwin your family have surgery? Are there special circumstances that would jack up the bill?

$30k for a family is REALLY high for almost any situation.

Sure, the most powerful intelligence agency in the World has no idea what they are doing. We should instead trust some tinfoil conspiracy from nobodies like you.

How?

No way to answer that without knowing why it needs root.

especially if the hardcoded commands as strings are verified commands and do not change or induce something else

But now that invoked program becomes another weak link that can be exploited. And you don't even know what those innvoked commands are so don't know if anything can be hardcoded other than the path to the executable.

Yes, it's an improvement in security, but it's only one step that probably won't be revisited until, for example, someone finds out that there's an easily exploited buffer overflow in one of those invoked programs that run as root.
The Pinephone seems good as far as being mostly open, cheap, physical switches but... I guess the modem is not open. Anyway have I personally tested that the switches actually work/no soft switch somewhere no... I'm mostly after the potential emerging market (apps) over privacy.

I have a KDE edition Pinephone that I intend to use more overtime but primarily an Android user.

Also I get super annoyed when Android bundles stuff on your phone. I realize you can get rid of it/the cheap phone has to get paid somehow... but like having notifications that you can't slide away... things like that. Want more control over I realize Linux phones are lacking in software, pretty bad... Plasma looked really nice, Phosh not so nice (home screen) but it works out of the box though particularly detecting external screens. Anyway I'm looking forward to it improving over time, a cheap Samsung Dex-like experience is my desire.
That would be... literally all phones available today, wouldn't it? With the possible exception of the $2000 Librem 5 USA.

However, as one who's moved from an iPhone to a Nokia 8110 with KaiOS, which I in no way argue is as secure as iOS:

It has less on it. It has far less on it. It has my phone calls, a handful of text messages, and while it has email access right now, I'm experimenting with if I actually need that, or can remove it (leaning towards removing it). And my calendar.

The camera is horrible, so I just carry a pocket digital camera with me now if I care to take photos, which don't end up on the phone.

If I don't give it wifi privileges (which it currently has, but I've been running with wifi off and cell data off to see how that works, and the answer so far is "quite well"), there's simply not much it can really do to my accounts or network.

From the google knowledge graph wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Knowledge_Graph

> There is no official documentation of how the Google Knowledge Graph is implemented...It has been criticized for providing answers without source attribution or citation.

The Google Knowledge Graph is built on an internally defined semantics or ontology, which specifies different kinds of things represented online, like human beings. It's built on Leibniz-inspired companies like the ironically-named Freebase, which they acquired in 2010. They are cagey about the implementation, because they doubtless have some "secret-sauce" ontology. Feels weird when Google Engineers are in charge of defining essences.
I used to be a massive Apple fan, all hardware in our house was Apple. About 3 years ago we started switching away, and now only have an iPad Pro left.

desktop: custom PC running Ubuntu MATE 20

laptop: Thinkpad running Ubuntu MATE 20

Phone: Android Moto E

Streaming Device: Roku 3

Car: Android Auto

watch: no watch

tablet: Amazon Fire

I find it interesting that the Moto E is the cheapest smartphone you can get in America. Comcast gave it to me free with my plan. Yet it's totally fine, meets all of my needs no problem. Only thing I did was add an SD card for more storage. Similarly with the Amazon Fire tablet, it was only $75 and easily meets all of my needs. Ignoring the privacy implications of Amazon/Google ran Android devices, Android OS is impressive.
Human waste gets heavily diluted, essentially immediately, and even more so once it leaves the waste treatment plant for the local river, lake, or ocean.

Cat shit stays intact when it goes to a landfill, and thus would cause a potential hot spot that humans would not.
the thing to really highlight here is that having microinverters on the back of each panel increases overall efficiency when even a single panel is partially covered (either by leaves, poop, or damage)

otherwise you chain a bunch of panels together in series and track the max power point there. This means that you don't quite optimise for each panel

Serenity is not really designed for everyday use, but more for enjoyment and as a learning experience for the developers. It's not really reasonable to be worried about it from that point of view, as of course it's not professional crypto, it's written by someone who wanted to learn more about it, and figure out how it'd work in a modern system.
> Rumoredly according to GitHub reverse-engineers of the system, it's due to the mathematical precision of the NeuralHash algorithm being processor-dependent on ARM and not Intel.

If true, it's highly probable that Apple can just port it to macOS and have it work especially for the Apple Silicon line up rather than Intel.

But only Apple knows. But so far, it seems like ignoring the M1 hype was the smart thing do.

Personally I'm happy for opportunities to work. Just my opinion...but no employer owes me anything, other than compensation for work performed. You mention that reigning in these "exploitative practices" is the role of government, but I respectfully disagree. The role of government [to me] is physical safety against foreign invaders, and enforcing our laws. If these practices you speak of are so exploitative that they violate [labor] laws, then the governments role is to step in and enforce their laws. Otherwise, it seems like asking for government to decide what they accept/reject as "acceptable", and I don't trust my government(US) to do that.
Most misleading headline of the century.
