I have been using Android for a very long time and have never had this issue with the phone "popping up the keypad when it thinks it hears the other end ask for a PIN". Occasionally a webpage will be coded such that the cursor is in a text box and so the keyboard will pop up, but this is not an Android problem per se. Maybe my experience is unique but I can't tell you the last time I've hung up a phone with my face or had issues like you describe. I have been using Pixel phones of late and Nexus phones before that. All in all they have been pretty solid for me.
Satellites in general when de-orbited are targeted to de-orbit over the south indian ocean normally, regardless if any pieces may survive re-entry.
This is another reason why I Remote Desktop to corporate machines from my personal ones. Fully insulated access to corporate stuff (I turn off file and printer sharing, obviously, although they’re usually disabled anyway), but I get to use my monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc. and don’t have to physically plug in anything.
I mean on some level i agree with you, but since skepticism about climate change is likely leading to a massive humanitarian crisis it’s pretty reasonable for people to be angry at those who say “well actually according to MY research…” when there is such an overwhelming body of evidence pointing to disastrous climate change consequences.
Very lucky that the new ceo took over just as they became expendable...
Removing non-water from water is literally processing, but it's not what people imagine by "processed food" which involves chemically altering ingredients, adding something, or taking away something essential (along with, or rather than, an impurity).

Slicing bread is "processing" in the strawman sense, and so is putting it into a plastic bag.
"Since the deadliest virus mutations kill their hosts, weaker virus mutations can spread (without killing their hosts) more quickly."

The problem with the SARS-COV2 virus is that infected individuals are infected before they're symptomatic, let alone dead. Thus there is no evolutionary pressure that would make this virus less lethal, as is the case for viruses that kill their hosts early in the course of infection.
Size is only one factor of weight. Safety improvements have also increased weight, even if the car stayed roughly the same size.
The reduction from 825 days to 1 year was instituted by Apple. The same people apparently forcing you to perform a manual step every time you replace the certificate.

Some people might look at that and conclude Apple is the problem, but you apparently decided it's "the CA ecosystem".

You can get proof you "are the company you claim" from CAs today, both OV and EV support that capability, but let me guess, Apple doesn't make any use of that information and so once again rather than spot where the problem is, you'll give Apple a free pass and blame everybody else.

Edited to add: As to "actively removing support for anything that tried to provide that… " EV doesn't do what people expect it to do. Maybe Apple knows whether they want to do business with the Ohio Funky Rabbit Pizza or the West Virginia Funky Rabbit Pizza, but the customer has no clue that those are even different companies, much less which is which, so the whole "Let's show the company name in the browser" doesn't achieve what its proponents wanted, not least because of course it'll turn out the "Funky Rabbit Pizza" restaurant actually in Coolville Ohio isn't run by either company but instead by Generic Food Holdings Inc. registered in New York, so with an EV cert their legitimate web site says "Generic Food Holdings Inc." which is even more suspicious, not less.
> but they've worked on them for 30 years

Yes and Boeing worked on rockets for 50+ years, General motors worked on cars for 50+ years and so on. I don't get why people seem to have such a limited memory of the past.
... which seems not to be the definition the author of the linked article is using.
This reads like a food-processing industry pamphlet. Suspiciously so.
It doesn't seem to me that overall, either supply or demand of houses should be more correlated to e.g. the stock price of Alcoa as compared to the price of aluminum.
> The presumption of ML is that compressions of X are representations of Y. This is just false.

The whole point of modeling is that without a doubt compressions of X are indeed representations of Y, because the whole reason X was picked was that it is clearly represents Y with an acceptable degree of accuracy for the use in mind.

If a proposed model fails to reproduce and predict a model with acceptable accuracy, it's scrapped in favour of those that can. Why are we discussing this?

I frankly do not understand why we are wasting time explaining the very basics of what a model is and why they are created and how they are used. This is not up for discussion. Just ask yourself why people, specially in engineering and physics, bother with models.
It’s arrogance *ingrained in the culture. I guess that’s what happens when you tell people that they’re special, constantly, while at work.
An important detail which this guide leaves out: The "actual location of the row" is usually the leaf node of another B-Tree. That is the primary B-Tree and it's indexed by the primary key.

The major consequence is every non-primary index query involves dereferencing N pointers, which could mean loading N pages from disk/SSD to get leaf nodes spread out across the primary tree. Whereas if you query a range in the primary B-Tree directly, the rows are consecutive so you would only load N/M consecutive pages based on the ratio of rowsize to pagesize.

That's why some people use composite keys for primary key, to get better data locality in the primary B-Tree index.

See "How We've Scaled Dropbox"[1] to hear the same thing.

At 48:36 they explain why they changed from PRIMARY KEY (id) to PRIMARY KEY (ns_id, latest, id). ns_id is kinda like user_id. So that change groups journal entries for users together on disk

Specifically. PRIMARY KEY (id) orders things by creation date whereas PRIMARY KEY (ns_id, latest, id) orders things by ns_id primarily.

That was flagged as bogus by a number of people from Apple.
Health goes beyond taking nutrients (although they might help). Here we're talking about exercise, nutrition, mental health etc:

- None of those were advocated by governments during this pandemic.

- Some measures (lockdowns, etc.) were detrimental to individual health and (imo) contributed to complications we've been seeing.

This is generally backed up by common sense (which - just like the flu - has mysteriously disappeared in the past 2 years)
There are lots of valid reasons besides "I can't afford to buy" to rent. I've been a renter for most of my life because I liked the freedom of being able to move to a new area (either locally, or in an entirely new region) with little hassle. I'm a homeowner now, but I was renting even when I could afford a house.

In an economic downturn many people get stuck with a house that's underwater and unable to sell while also needing to look outside of the area for a new job.

Also, if your income (or family size) changes, its a lot easier to trade up (or down) when you rent than when you own.

Instead of mandating that everyone buy a house whether they want to or not, I'd rather see renter protections, particularly in capping rent increases.
That video is pure nonsense. What you describe isn't possible.
That could probably be the plot of a cyberpunk RPG campaign.

"My client, who has to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, wants you to break into this facility and fire the space-laser at the targets stored in this drive."

"To deflect attention, you are to pose as cyberterrorists for the duration of the mission."
I'm not sure about the more equity part. You mean you would put down a higher down payment?

Because once the house is paid off there would be more equity for the more expensive house.
Some fermented foods are better than the original ingredients.

Some sun-dried foods, likewise.

That sort of thing.

Though I'd still count that as "natural".
I do get the impression that Starlink is extremely competent at managing their constellation.

Ultimately I think the biggest risk is going to come from poor coordination between large operators, as we already got a taste of in that ESA/Starlink snafu a few months (?) back. I'd rather see some kind of distributed consensus framework than a single corporate entity managing it all, though.
1. Nowhere indicates Elon Musk believes "he can easily repeat that success in other areas."

2. So do you believe you know better (than Musk) about

I would hold my tongue and meanwhile, wait and see.
I'm not sure what people picture as processed foods even makes sense at times...

I think there's a lot of unknown about what our foods even are, what 'natural' means and so on.
>Does bad UI make more money?

You may have a point there.

Netflix has got to be the absolute nadir of bad UI design: horizontal scrolling as a feature, majority of content hidden, some content which reveals itself on rollover --other content which has to be clicked on, autoplaying videos on hover, elements which push other elements aside if you accidentally mouse over them, etc. etc. It's almost like someone decided to deliberately combine every element of bad user interface design into one atrocious lump of crap.

And what makes it worse is that, not only is Netflix hugely successful, but everyone else now is copying their fuck-awful design, seemingly in the mistaken belief that it's a "winner". Amazon Prime has similar [lack of] usability and the BBC has also crippled their iPlayer interface, of late, by changing it to ape Netflix.

And, if we're talking bad UI design in general. You'd also have to go a long way to beat eBay. In addition to various interface 'quirks' which seem designed to deliberately annoy the user, their site reminds me of V'Ger in the Star Trek film [0]. It seems to be an accretion consisting of various mis-matched elements, many dating back to more primitive times.

Not only is it crazy small, it's impossible. Kessler syndrome doesn't result in "space junk barrier" nonsense. That's from media and movies, not a possible reality.
> it's good because it keeps people motivated

But what is motivation, really, and do we really need it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc short answer: motivation is not what we think it is. Does motivation matter more than happiness?

> You need some inequality of outcome to incentivize people to do what they are good at -

Most of those people are paid about the same anyways. All professions should be paid about the same. I don't see why inequality is necessary when so many are paid the minimum wage. There is no job that is more worthy than another.

> the Soviet Union has showed us that.

The soviet union was a political disaster. Corruption will cause problems in any economy. There are no proof that communism is bad because the soviet union was corrupt and collapsed.

Even the notion of merit doesn't really exist. We just disagree and I honestly don't want to spend time arguing about this eternal debate.
Depends on Google's philosophy. Are features a means to an end or the end itself? It's not surprising that Google would decide not to do something if it doesn't serve their goals.
You're ignoring ideologies that are specifically about rejection of coercion, though. Structure doesn't always have to be imposed.
I'd invest in something more efficient. If I can find a better way to turn the natural resources into something else can make a profit.

Or I'd invest in games/movies/art. People are always interested in something new even if the plot 3000 years old.
> Growth means that things get better.

Growth does not mean that things get better. Growth means that things get more. More is not always better. More humans, for example, seems to destroy habitability of the Earth. Is that better?

What matters is the Housing Affordability Index, not income levels. Houses prices might rise in price more than income plus it needs to be in the area where you live/work. See my post in this thread.

Ok, we've put "a third" in the title above. Thanks!
There is no way for you to buck the pattern here since it is using a statistical estimation for whether you like something. You could very well be an outlier datapoint rather than someone in the median, at which point the model fit for you is extremely poor. If you had an actual person on the other end you could tell them explicitly what you want rather than have some likelihood estimation based on metadata that might not have any relevance to this particular decision you are making at this time.
In time didn't save nine, it seems.
Would it been better to keep firebombing the hell out of every japanese city then? Have you seen "Grave of the Fireflies?" Don't you think that the people of the 40's had a conscience too, only us the awaken 2021 homo sapiens have it?
To be fair, people don't have that much control over home values either.

The biggest reservation I can think of with housing as an investment is that it's singular in terms of economic sector and geography.

With the market people can diversify, although there's no guarantee they will.

Being able to leverage a small down payment for a more valuable asset can also be advantageous or disadvantageous depending on what the value of the asset does.
It’s kind of like comparing a dog to a baby, saying, “wow, a dog is much more sophisticated than a human, it has fear of heights, can accurately catch a ball, and has a lot more mobility.” These are all true, but that’s not the whole story. The human baby has far more capability, it’s just untapped at the moment. The dog, it’s basically peaked already.
We get shots for the flu every year (or at least we should). That's the historical precedent.
I would like to do the same but I don’t want to run my employers vpn software on my machine (they don’t need to see my local machines network traffic). Does your work not use a vpn?
What ever happened to the future we all predicted or were told was coming a few years ago where we ran our phones like a hypervisor, and could actually segregate different controlling accounts into separate phone VMs? I imagine it was probably because it was too power intensive.

She's entirely right IMO with the advice. Separating work and personal time is already so hard to do in some cases, and having my phone be a pseudo-work communicator does not help with that problem in any way. Disentangling them at the end of a employment relationship is likely much much harder (luckily I've only had to deal with this minimally).
A big part of the reason the housing market collapsed in 2008 was adjustable rate mortgages. People took on loans at affordable rates and then when things started going south for the banks, the rates were ratcheted up on the high risk buyers who had been getting easy credit.
To add to the other good comments, I think the best strategy is to find a really small organization with a laser focus, just a few million in run rate and less than a few dozen key staff. A small number of focused and passionate people can move mountains, just like in a startup. One you have vetted them, give them just enough to reach their next level of effectiveness, but with lots of strings and accountability. Think like a VC, is this team capable of getting the job done? Can their work be scaled with more capital?

There are good giant charities, but you're too small a fish for them. The "membership" programs at most charities are just lead gen pipelines for major gifts and breaking even on marketing cost is pretty normal no matter what the little expenses pie charts say. If you are wealthy enough that the CEO of MSF is talking to you then you then disregard what I just said and consult your staff who runs your personal foundation.

What does this mean? Its an example of a business in addition to politicians, how is that the reverse?

Everyone should put a lock on their credit.

Also since it takes a few days to remove the lock, you can't impulse buy a car ( or another big ticket item).

At this point the only thing I'll ever need to do a credit check for is a new apartment.
FWIW, when I was some 3 to 4 years old I remember I was a flat earther and even had nightmares about that.

My mother had to actually explain to me that the world is an spheroid so I would stop having those terrifying nightmares where I fell off the edge of the world.
There wasn't any close miss. The "close miss" was a press blast operation by a competitor. The two companies were in coordination and because the competitor couldn't trust SpaceX to avoid their satellite spacex disabled their avoidance intentionally so that the competitor could move their satellite. Then said competitor went on a crazy press tirade about "dangerous starlink" even though SpaceX helped them out. If SpaceX had done nothing Starlink would have successfully avoided the competitor's satellite.
I'll point out that, like it or not, the sort of money you're talking about is in the range of many CEOs or other senior execs of large US companies. Yes, some of these do have security services especially those at the high end of the range, but tens of millions of dollars pretty much puts you in the wealthy but not Uber-rich in the US.
> Are you able to hum a song you've heard before? If so, I think that could potentially require a kind of ability to represent the song in your mind

If I pay attention I can tell that a sound is higher or lower than another. I can also count. It often requires a lot of concentration (and many repeats) to hum a song I have heard.

> Are you able to think about a note with some pitch frequency and then about a note with a higher pitch frequency right afterwards?

Yes. I can also tell the names of tones (as in keys on a piano) in some cases, but it requires a lot of focus to do this quickly, and the tones usually have to be pretty simplistic or extremely rhythmic.

> If so, then what's happening when you're thinking about these pitches?

What do you mean? If you have ever played SIMON you have to memorise a sequence of red blue yellow and green lights. The repetition starts slowly and gets faster. Then it can become so fast it is overwhelming. Do you memorize the colours or the names of the colours? If you haven’t played it maybe you could look at a YouTube video and get the idea.

> it seemed like you were saying you didn't have an internal monologue

I said I can’t hear one.

> I simply suspect that some percentage of people who report aphantasia may not actually have it, based on dozens of peoples' self-reports that I've read before.

That’s not what I asked. I asked you why you gave your opinion, not why you have an opinion.

I have noticed people do this quite often, and I do not really know why. I wonder if you can sufficiently self-reflect to explain your thinking to me.
It's a capacity issue. The bandwidth of the amunas is enormous compared to a reservoir.
> I want to start by pointing out I use two-factor authentication just about everywhere and Facebook is not an exception.

I wish he'd mention what kind of 2FA. The reason you _really_ should use U2F/WebAuthn is because it does origin binding which, unlike entering a TOTP, a code from your hardware token/authenticator app on your phone/SMS/etc is not phishable, i.e. you can't enter it by accident on accounts.google.com.totallylegit.ru and then have them enter it on real accounts.google.com. This is so because the U2F/WebAuthn security key signs a request, sent by your browser, which embeds the requesting page's domain, so a signature on attacker.com will not pass victim.com's verification checks, whereas a code from your authentication app is trivially copied.
Interesting...I've also been using it a long time but only noticed it in roughly the last year. Pixel user as well in the US. If I hold 1 to dial voicemail (which calls carrier voicemail via cellular service), when the lady says "Please enter your password," my keypad pops up. If I call somewhere else, it doesn't pop up. I'll have to call someone who can play that clip back to me and see if it's responding to it.
Just like any vaccine, I suppose better generation of vaccine will emerge. https://athometest.com/blog/a-next-generation-sars-cov-2-vac...
It isn't. People keep credit (aka bank money) in their bank accounts even at negative nominal interest rates. The problem is the insistence on positive interest because of moral attachments to the idea of frugality.

Central banks target positive inflation because of the inability to cut interest rates below zero.
A union is definitely the gold-standard defense against nonsense like this. But a lot of places have significantly higher employment protections that the US.

Remember, it's not always you that has to go to court to fight an NDA clause though. If you've resigned, and the company is insisting that it can search your devices because the NDA says so, the company is the one that needs to convince a judge to grant a court order allowing it to do so. (Again: not legal advice! But my understanding is that's how most contract rights need to be enforced.)

Who is buying ARMs? The fixed rate is near all-time lows and is lower than 5/1 ARMs
Heh, well, no.

Unfortunately some companies interpreted "equal pay for equal work" as "everyone makes the same". In effect, polyglot engineers that work on infrastructure-y applications make the same as someone who only works on a web app backend. Infrastructure teams have tried to fix this by promoting quickly or hiring ultra-senior only positions, but then that breaks the promotion model, which has some specific steps and outcomes to it.
