Hey, here's the red flag:

> unrelated cognitive tasks

The tasks should be very much related! The stuff you learn in math class should directly apply to stuff you learn in physics class and in the economics class, and what you learn about economy and civics should dovetail with your history class, which should go hand in hand with your geography class, etc, etc.

The terrible thing is that they are taught in such a way that many kids don't make many of these connections. Much of my self-education was learning connections between things I learned in school and in university; much om my self-taught math, for instance, showed me important connections between different parts of math, physics (including pedestrian things like weather of metal cutting), CS, and daily programming practice. Much of the reason I love to read a random Wikipedia article is that it often shows me a connection between two things I was aware of, but hand no idea they are related, and how.

Th school system is ripe for a reform, and I hope whatever other approaches will be tried will include more connections between things, and more teaching how to look for and find these connections.

Ricardo's going to be a fun one, then. I think you'll find he doesn't make quite so broad a claim re: the benefits of free trade as free-trade advocates tend to imply he does, in his study of comparative advantage. (there's a trend here, since similar things happen with Adam Smith)

There is a divide between political philosophy (and adjacent economic work) and social science proper, that's analogous to the divide between the theoretical side of modern physics and the experimental side but cranked up a few notches. As in most other sciences, journals, low-print-count and narrowly-scoped books from academic presses, and (to some degree) textbooks, are where the scientists really work (this doesn't mean it's all good work, of course)—though the standard reading (which you seem to be working through) is standard for a reason, and guide the vocabulary and context of that work.

> possibly selective bias of examples.

Heh, when you're lucky there are a good number of even biased examples. The really painful ones are mostly "suppose if..." fairy tales spinning fantasies based on some questionable premises and definitions, the odd bad syllogism, and a very small number of cherry picked examples that, if you dig, aren't even presented accurately. Whole schools of political and economic thought can be based almost entirely on this, as their adherents sneer at the illogic and idiocy of those who aren't convinced.
people can downvote this all they want, but if you’ve ever had a friend who smoked too much weed, or fallen into the habit yourself, you’ve seen the same behavior that Musk exhibits. too many ideas, not enough follow-through, and the ideas tend to be wild and unrealistic —- he’s a textbook case.

Do you keep track of what you eat during these tournaments?

I would assume you would have at least a somewhat different diet during these days and your mind would be more focused on the tournament then what you are going to eat, and you might forget to eat enough. It's like going into survival mode when you are focusing on something important to you. Most likely it is a combination of eating less calories and burning more, if you are losing a noticeable amount of weight in a couple days.
I really doubt that they're NOT already gathering data as if I accepted the policy. The guy I called said I'm the only person to complain about this. So I don't expect much to change.

Yeah I'm not sure what the solution is. Maybe, I'm naive but I never expected this. I know better now. Regarding the smart t thing, I 100% agree, my vizio smart tv started getting ads on startup that I need to manually exit out of.
There is compliance, and then there is overcompliance.

Would it have been against the relevant laws to send him a notice that his accounts are going to be locked/deleted within a week, for example?
I’ve never hear of ‘protocol.com’ before so I went to look at their about statement:
‘ Protocol is a new media company from the publisher of POLITICO. We focus on the people, power and politics of tech, with no agenda and just one goal: to arm decision-makers in tech, business and public policy with the unbiased, fact-based news and analysis they need to navigate a world in rapid change.’

I’m fairly certain Politico is widely considered to have an agenda of some sort. See one of their strange publishing decisions from wikipedia:
‘ In March 2019 Politico was again accused of anti-semitism when it published an article depicting imagery of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders next to money trees. Sanders, one of two Jewish candidates for the 2020 US presidential election, was targeted for the amount of wealth he accumulated over his lifetime.[63] Politico staff writer Michael Kruse wrote the article detailing the senator's wealth, writing that Sanders "might still be cheap", according to one of the senator's friends, "but he's sure not poor", which was criticised as combining two anti-Semitic tropes (Jews are cheap; Jews are rich). Politico's official Twitter account used the quote to share the story; the tweet was later deleted.[64]’
Apps can change behaviors to preserve battery life though. Things like disabling prefetching will likely reduce radio time and thus preserve battery.

Delaying maintenance can help too, and that also helps reduce occurances of power failed during complex data operation and the resulting difficulties of resuming from a partial operation when the state may not have been fully persisted at any point, because filesystems and abrupt power loss don't tend to go so well together.

There are other ways to accomplish that without a microphone. Hint: there was another party on your call other than yourself, and their behavior (on the web for example, where you may be linked as friends on the same social media sites) can provide signals you are unaware of, that suggest things about their friends including you.

This is a defeatist view. Fedora and the author are not violating anything here and the ban is indefensible. It's a broad sweeping spineless overreaction, and we can do better.
You can have some semblance of decorum and not use the work of someone you just banned.
Defending CP and revenge porn is such an odd hill to die on.

Please tell me what was wrong about the NYT's opinion piece? That it painted a visceral picture of a literal child whose exploitations continued to be put on PornHub to profit off of?

You give a lot of generic accusations without anything substantial.

Are you upset that companies now have to answer for their actions? Why is that a bad thing? A private company isn't a government, if MasterCard or Visa doesn't want to do business with certain risk prone sectors why should they be forced to?

Your reason for being upset is frankly odd and extremely dismissive of real issues, that companies are profiting off of CP, but decide to get upset that a news story can effect the public zeitgeist?

This is what I thought it alluded to... I thought there was an "Android Automotive" phone app to support in-car "Android Automotive" system to unlock doors, remotely control AC, etc... I was thinking "oh no" looks like Android Automotive was short lived. Polestar owners are going to be pissed.

>They tried to do something quite crazy with manufacturing and it didn't work.

What did they try to do that's "crazy with manufacturing" that hasn't been done by every other car company on the planet?

>fixed their production, reached their production targets

Have their plants ever reached production capacity?

>To the point where Tesla are quite competitive in terms of weight and ease of manufacturing.

And here we have the point. Tesla are competitive, fantastic. That's a long way from all of the early claims about upending the entire manufacturing industry through factory automation the likes of which the world has never seen. Funny how that part of the narrative disappeared.

>They are not doing so bad it seems

Looks to me like legacy car makers are catching up, no?
The implementation also means Apple has plausible deniability if the “CSAM” in their database actually contains images associated with political enemies of whatever regime supplies the source material. How would you know the hash you are testing against isn’t just a Winnie the Pooh? You really can’t.

The atomic commit thing is just a means to some ends. Some ends are indeed easier to achieve with monorepos. Security audits/patching is one example I've dealt with in the past (dealing w/ supply chain vulns in a multi-repo world is a goddamn nightmare). Cross-package integration testing is another example.

The thing about projects getting bigger is orthogonal to whether people pick monorepos or not. Many project feature sets are simply complex in a way that you can't refactor your way out of. When I hear this argument that projects could somehow be made smaller, typically it's from someone who's never had to deal with the regressions of such a decision or someone who's never had to be accountable for their estimates. I've seen firsthand projects that got rewritten with the benefit of hindsight, proper staffing, management blessing and all the jazz, and still struggle to meet feature parity of their older counterparts. It's clearly not a question of being interested in putting in the work, or even having the budget for it.

From what I've seen, messiness is largely a function of experience. A lot of people simply don't have experience in writing libraries and/or architecting systems. I find that once they acquire the skills, quality of encapsulation improves a lot. FWIW, I think monorepos help with that transition because it provides that fast feedback loop of single repos while a developer is learning the ropes of how to librarize, instead of getting bogged down waiting on slow code review/CI/publish feedback loops.
Yeah, I don't know about that. Wouldn't it be that the query strings differentiate the two links?

I assume so, because of an old trick where query strings are used for ad-hoc cache control as in /style.css?1629472765
> long expiring certs deployed via an automation system

If you're already automating it why stop halfway? I don't see your point.

> setting up even more automation ... would probably cost 5x in labor [than the cost of 3 year certs over 12 years].

(0. 3 year certs are going away for operational security reasons, but lets skip that for now.)

1. Are you sure it costs more in labor to automate? Are you factoring in: a) the opportunity cost of lost sales and customer dissatisfaction when the certs expire in prod? b) the time it takes to train new employees how to change the certs [which at the average turnover rate is paid at every cert change]? c) the recurring labor of finance and operations professionals and management expensing, accounting, reporting, and reviewing this irregular cost? d) the opportunity cost of avoiding setting up new https-enabled services because it's such a huge pita for the organization?

> Automation is great when you have scale.

2. Lets decompose your scale argument into "vertical" vs "horizontal" scale that is hopefully familiar to people provisioning infrastructure. Here, "vertical scale" is one company needing many certs. I agree that if your vertical scale is low (say 10 certs) then it may not be worth it to spend 200h of labor automating it by yourself. But automation can also be scaled "horizontally": if 100 companies need it they can amortize the labor cost of creating the automation between them and have plenty of hours left over to implement it. This is the central ethos of open source and the reason why it can work at all.
All the houses with grandparents in my family have lost landlines since all the grandparents have phones.

When some other animal species starts building libraries and exploring space, I'll consider them exceptional, too. Humans, a kind of animal, are quite distinct from other animal species. We can't fly by nature, but we can build machines where not only we can fly, but we can fly to space. Most all other animals live today in the same ways, and with the same capabilities, as their ancestors have for centuries; but, humans have adapted and advanced in ways that hardly a generation lives the same as the one before it -- all from human-driven, intentional advancement. We're a quite distinct species (judgements aside).

I don't see the harm in recognizing our superior differences; in fact, it's as important as recognizing our similarities and common bonds.
If only the EPA could slap that hard!
I hate to say this, but it sounds to me like the sanctions are in a way doing pretty much what they were intended to do: make it harder for Iran to have good engineers and technology scene, that could later be used for other things. It sucks for the average Iranian for sure, but that's true for all sanctions. What's the alternative? How do you put sanctions without hurting the people?
According to that post, "fixing it" was quite a lot of effort:

> And separately, we took our case to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), part of the US Treasury Department, and began a lengthy and intensive process of advocating for broad and open access to GitHub in sanctioned countries.

Over the course of two years, we were able to demonstrate how developer use of GitHub advances human progress, international communication, and the enduring US foreign policy of promoting free speech and the free flow of information. We are grateful to OFAC for the engagement which has led to this great result for developers.

And I bet that if Fedora wanted to do the same, they couldn't simply invoke GitHub as a precedent, they would have to do the whole process again.

On the other hand, there is a tendency of projects to massively overshoot the target just to be on the safe side - see Project Gutenberg blocking all access from Germany because they got sued over 3 (three!) books.
Okay, then sell a hardware token with the bitcoin on them, or the coins as QR codes printed on artisinal paper or whatever.

I had a similar problem with an iPhone 6. The battery page in Settings said the battery was healthy but the phone wasn’t lasting long and was benchmarking at about half the score it should have.

Coconut Battery said the battery was around 65% of its design capacity.

After replacing the battery the phone went back to normal, benchmark scores improved.

It’s really scummy that the phone was downclocking itself to lighten voltage but not informing me. This was all after the iPhone 6 battery scandal and software updates to show battery health.
Doesn't the Iranian government deserve at least some of the blame here?
Wow, take things litteral much? The numbers were just used to demonstrate, and not meant for actual comparisons. If the other party has a lower bandwidth than you, you are limited to that lower bandwidth. Fat pipe connected to little pipe means fat pipe can only move little pipe's worth of volume. If the other party has kids that are playing games, streaming youtube, listening to music, downloading torrents, etc, their bandwidth is fractioned too. If no QOS is enabled for ensuring mom&dad's phone calls are good before little Timmy's Fornite and little Suzzie's TikTok videos, then mom&dad can get the short end of the stick. Let's also not forget those IoT devices and Ring doorbells, and blah blah all cutting into that available bandwidth. People forget and take for granted how many things in their homes feed on that bandwidth

Yes, with 1.5Mbps one should hear crystal clear audio, but you have no idea how much bandwidth is actually being used.
IDK what blogs you're reading, but many of those sites are a confederation of ads with small islands of content interspersed between.

Many bloggers are trying to do it as a way to gain income at this point, and the ads are either all over the site or inserted directly into the "content".

Just three days ago I've set up my 93 year old grandfather on a Lenovo Smart Display 7. I think it has multiple benefits over an iSomething:
- Always plugged in - no need to remember to charge
- Shows our family picture albums that I can remotely update via my Google Photos
- It is loud. Left the volume at 3/4
- Sits on a table and you're never holding it wrong™
- No settings to mess up, two previous tablets were too complicated

The truth is that to most users of software “free” means “free of charge.” The subtleties of the FSF notion of free software escape them. See, software is a product of one’s creative mind, like a piece of art or, say, the design of an airplane engine, so how and, especially, why it should be “set free” remains unclear.

We still have no laws preventing another greedy person doing the same.

Exercise and calorie reduction don't have the same effect. Running stresses the body which promotes muscle growth and reduces resting heart rate (among lots of other physical benefits). Calorie restriction forces to body to fill an energy deficit, usually by burning fat but potentially also muscle mass.

Permission controls are a bandaid as someone else wrote.

Let's use the location services example.

So some communications app asks me for permission. Do I grant it? Well, as an unsophisticated user, maybe it wants this info to optimize the quality of my connection in some way. So maybe I ought to give it permission?

Instead, maybe it's going to broadcast my coordinates to everyone else on the call which is not OK in general.
In 99% of cases complying is cheaper and easier than going to court, sadly.
