Sadly, I think it's a rapid change in at least urbanized predominantly white societies.

This is why recently I've been loving watching old videos of people living their everyday lives before technology oversocialized us.

Here's a recent one that I happened to find because I was researching the Boston accent:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omVFxtbZoyw

These days you'd think all these people were just actors in some 80's movie, but they were real people all walking up to each other and interacting organically. Nobody is staring down at phones, everyone is socially confident, kids are out playing, adults show affection towards the children, and so on. Some may disapprove of the lifestyle of these urban Boston Italians or certain things they say, but it's one reflection of a different time that really wasn't that long ago. This was before mainstream media scared the shit out of people and convinced them that the world is too dangerous, before people overexposed themselves on social media, before video games addicted children, before adults spent more time with their devices than with their families. Things weren't perfect in the old days by any means, but there were some good things about humanity that we've gradually suppressed in ourselves which we've been losing in a short period of time.

Like you, I grew up with a big family where the little ones were sometimes seen naked whether it was when we were running around in the dirt or taking baths together. By a certain age, our parents knew when to start having us to always wear clothes and bathe by ourselves. But there's what I would consider a precious window of innocence in young childhood where kids can exist and be themselves, clothed or not, free of the knowledge of sexuality. My sibling and cousins all were naked at one point or another as young kids and nobody feels scarred or exploited because our elders saw us naked in some vague memory.

Apparently that is your opinion.

Not even for biology/medical textbooks or forensics training content or other educational purposes from commercial publishers?

I don’t see naked as equaling sexualized and I don’t see the Nirvana cover as the latter either, but I definitely can’t see a total ban on pictures in commercially-sold material being workable.
They other factor is matching the pay bands to the market correctly. If the HR team outsources this to national averages rather than assessing peer companies, especially in software, the bands are going to be too low. Which means if want to retain anyone (not just your high performers, but your average employees) you are forced to inflate to just match market rates.
I remember around 2007 having a hard time finding colleges I could get accepted to that offered CS or CE. You are right in that "outdates" was probably the wrong word to use, but I don't know how accessible they are much less to call them "common". That's just my anecdotal experience, so if those two points aren't true outside of my experience then I'm fresh out of ideas.
The word "soul" does not appear once in the article
Yeah, quite a bit. I watch anime online 1-2 times a week with some friends from high school and it's a lot of fun to chat with something we all enjoy.

I understand a lot of the comments talking about some of the pervy nature of some anime, and it's absolutely true. Usually you can tell if an anime is going to rely on that kind of stuff right from the first episode or two, and I avoid those, as they're uncomfortable to watch.

I guess the main appeals to me are that I get to see another culture (Japan) that I find very interesting and if we consider the fact that many cultures have big domestic entertainment production, they're all going to have some good content. I spend a lot of my time with the Japanese stuff (manga included) because I like a lot of the themes they touch on, but I also enjoy Indian, Korean, German, English, etc media as well. Anime just happens to be one portion of that.

To limit myself to just American media would mean I'm missing out on all the best stuff around the world.

For anyone that maybe has a dislike for anime, I'd consider watching "Garden of Words", "Your Name", "Weathering with You", or "Flavors of Youth". All are very popular films between 45 minutes and two hours that have classic coming of age stories that are common in American culture, so I'd imagine they'd be a good place to start if you wanted to give anime a shot.
I'll do you one better - I still have a 2008 MacBook Pro that I use daily, it works fine. Also a 7 years old iPad Mini 2 that still gets security updates. Yes, planned obsolescence indeed.
Yes and no - more experienced people have more to _impart_, because they've been there, generally know what to focus on, etc. That doesn't necessarily mean they're eager to just put up with anything or just "play along" most cultures, and IMO that's key to a lot of the disguised ageism in the industry. With experience, you also you bring along your own set of practices and habits accrued through the years, which _may_ be good or bad, but do introduce "drag" on the system. When organizations talk about "strong culture" or "strong focus", that's really corporatespeak for "compliance" - "we do things this way" - and ageism is a very direct symptom of that.

That and there's no better place where you can cast a wide net to catch large amounts of people, with a repeatable cadence and well defined bar, than a university/bootcamp group/education program of any sort. If you're playing a numbers game (eg recruiters that get paid per hire, managers that get rewarded for empire building, etc), nothing can beat that "pipeline".
How is he defining market share? I find that number hard to believe simply because Steam doesn't have some of the most popular PC games like Warcraft, Fortnite, and League of Legends.
I am still using a MacBook Pro from 2013. The battery doesn't hold charge as well anymore (down to ~2-3 hours), and I had to replace the rubber feet at the bottom of the case, but other than that the laptop has been rock solid. I've never had any serious problems with it.

I am somewhat surprised there are so many people reporting issues with the newer models. I plan to upgrade to a new MacBook soon, and this gives me pause.
Each image on the left has a blob vaguely similar to the highlights in the dog image on the right. Likely the "perceptual" algorithm isn't "perceiving" contrast the same way human eyes and brains do.
My take is that the article is about this person's reliability issues with their MBP. Regardless of which party actually paid for the repairs, the fact that so many repairs/replacements were required doesn't speak well for Apple.
>OnlyFans declined to name its current banking partners, citing a desire to improve relations.

Sounds like they requested a new deal in exchange for not naming them.
I live where the median home is 900k and there is still no shortage of handymen and general contractor labor here if you are willing to pay for work under the table. It's an interesting dynamic.
> Is it possible to view the database and if so, in what form?

Not for the general public, it's also in encrypted form on the device

I can tell you how they will make it auditable without revealing hashes to all of their users: by only showing them to experts, just like you don't publish the entire databreach credentials in cleartext but hand them to someone experienced who acts as a middleman for public transparency
That depends on the company. Some do, most dont. But they will not really give you much grief over it. I know several people who did it. Usually after 2nd or 3rd time they would not do it. Because the spouse usually figured out pretty quick 'oh I am sitting here by myself when I could be at home doing the same thing...'
> That also means that very big, complex artificial intelligences run on dry silicon will produce big, complex, unhuman-like minds.

Incidentally, this is exactly what the AI superintelligence people are terrified of, and what the paperclip problem is meant to illustrate.

Yeah, I would say the best model here would be rooms at the same hotel (works out cheaper for the company and makes logistics significantly easier) and booking a WeWork office space for a week (do they do that?) or even just having everyone work out of an AirBnB during office hours a la HBO's Silicon Valley.

I personally prefer the traditional hybrid- work 2-3 days/wk in office, remote the rest.
Usually I see this in the form of bonuses, especially ones that will basically always trigger unless you piss someone off (e.g. based on boss’s performance review, where you both know it’s just going be approved unless you really fuck up). Though this still maintains the risk/burden on you; e.g. boss changes; but it keeps HR happy, lawsuits away, and employees with a proper paybump
Roam is basically an outliner

Obsidian is able to do outlining with some plugins, but is primarily designed for writing notes.

I really far prefer Obsidian. If you want to get a good primer on things, lookup Linking Your Thinking on YouTube.

Honestly, I suspect that lot of the slowdowns that people see in ~4+ year old Macs, iPads, or iPhones is in large part due to degradation in flash storage, especially in ca. 2013 MacBook Pros where the flash modules were still kind of shitty. This is all the more reason why Pro-level Macs should not have soldered on SSDs.

The original poster switched to a MacBook Pro at a bad time. The 2016/2017 machines were lousy. The 2019 models are better, but still not as good as the 2015. I think with the addition of the T1/T2 chip and BridgeOS, the machines got too complicated. Add in the poor thermals of the overly thin case, and the relatively high TDP of the discrete GPUs, and it is a recipe for un-reliability. I hope that the new AppleSilicon-based MacBook Pros will solve all of these problems. (and it will be a bonus of they back away from the USB-C only cliff.)
You're forgetting about the high sales tax of 15% in NZ. That explains the vast majority of the price difference.
> Saying "This is elegant" doesn't explain why

I never claimed it did!?
The assumption comes from this:

> If she is resorting to sex work to feed her son, what is she spending the father's child support money on?

That implies:

(a) there is father's child support (a sweeping assumption that is often wrong), and

(b) the father's child support is sufficient by itself to feed her son without needing to resort to sex work.

It's also suggesting that the mother is misusing funds somehow.

The distinction between "feeding" and "raising" you might have picked on would be, in my view, a quibble over a technicality. Child support is to contribute to the costs of raising a child, it's not earmarked to specifically cover food, and if you need extra income to raise a child, it's acceptable common language to phrase that as earning money to feed a child.
What more do they want? They've already gobbled up HGST, makers of the world's finest hard disks. I really hope some fool of a MBA doesn't wreck their ultrastar brand which used to be the HGST range.
Correct. In principle, a conveyer belt oven could produce good results by adjusting temperature and speed correctly, using quality ingredients prepared right, but almost all Americans do not want good pizza, and will be angry if they get it. They want bad pizza just like the last bad pizza they had.

It is practically impossible to teach people to want good quality when they are used to bad, and a reliably losing business strategy.

There was a movie about this: "Big Night" (1996, Isabella Rosselini, Stanley Tucci).
Right, and that's not even the difficult part of doing a startup. I did a software dev interview where they asked me if I had any questions, and I said something along the lines of "I notice that if you look at Mark Zuckerberg's reading list, he's reading books about things like the history of the Islamic golden age, whereas you're asking me questions about javascript syntax. Do you actually think the latter is more important?" And then they kicked me out halfway through the interview.
Charge it to a credit card and then the charge will get reversed when you return the item, and you won't have to worry about it. Just providing a solution here that works easily (not that the problem and solution need to exist).
It exists until the moment there are _HR violations_ - just like any other practice that's acceptable at an early stage as it grows. I've worked at 10k+ companies that still had beer on tap, and they obviously had huge HR departments.
On that ifixit disagrees. 4 is not a 1, but not a 7 either.

I was pretty pissed off to discover the HBO Max Roku app is such garbage - after paying for HBO Max for a year.
There are absolutely windows apps that won't run on your 2012 laptop too, it's just less likely you would run into them. Lack of DX 10 and higher APIs as well as lack of things like AVX instructions will prevent certain applications from running at all.

Have you heard of knitr (https://yihui.org/knitr/)? It's the gold standard as far as I'm concerned for dynamic report generation that needs to run code. Since it supports running arbitrary shell commands, it can already be used to query remote databases as long as you have a CLI to query them with. Combined with RMarkdown (https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/), which augments Markdown with support for LaTeX typesetting, it's the ultimate toolset for doing this kind of thing. You can read a blog post here on how to use knitr within RMarkdown: https://kbroman.org/knitr_knutshell/pages/Rmarkdown.html

I'm not trying to be a downer, but it seems like your product is just duplicating the functionality of these existing products but does less since it only supports SQL and Markdown.

I guess you autogenerate charts, but it says you're targeting a technical audience that is presumably comfortable calling functions in Python and R for graphical data visualization.

This is nitpicky, and I'm sure you have some command line option to choose another port (though your "get started" doesn't show how), but mdbook also uses 3000. I'm sure they probably weren't the first to default to that, either.

I hope this doesn't come across as downplaying your product. It looks nice. I just don't see what you offer here that can't already be done with existing data ecosystem tools. I was using RMarkdown with knitr to generate all of my papers when I was an ML grad student years ago. It felt back then like I was the only person at Georgia Tech who realized these tools existed, and now it still feels that way.
Why detect it, if you can plant it?
Apple’s coarse location, iirc, chooses your location in such a manner that it can’t be averaged out.
Maybe by limiting updates as well?
Our comp is above market.

And I would call it entitlement vs. “not wanting to be exploited”.

You don’t bring your needs to the market, you bring skills. The market pays you appropriately for those skills.
I'm curious why anyone would buy an Apple laptop with all the stories about unreliability in this thread...

I've had 2 laptops in the last ~11 or so years. A ThinkPad (trucked along worry-free for years) and a relatively cheap Acer Swift 3 (AMD Ryzen APU) which I still use to this day, worry-free. I don't think I've ever actually taken any device in for repair, ever, yet somehow in this thread there's a ton of anecdotes.
I built a platform for sharing git repositories: https://gitfront.io

What is your tech stack?

Backend: Golang
Frontend: HTML, Plain JavaScript and CSS
Database: PostgreSQL and object storage

I run everything on a single dedicated server on a VM. Services are deployed as containers and managed using HashiCorp Nomad.

On the backend there is a custom task queue which delegates work to worker instances. Repositories are rendered as static HTML and stored on object storage. As each repository is stored as a single object there is also a custom proxy that allows serving individual files from objects. All of this is written in Go.

The frontend currently consists of a landing page without any JavaScript and a web app which builds most elements using JavaScript. Everything is styled by hand using CSS.

Why did you choose it?

I chose to use technologies that would allow me to maintain everything years from now without having to rewrite a lot of code. I wanted to have something that would run fast, work reliably, have a small number of dependencies and that would allow me to develop at a reasonable pace.

As for the infrastructure, I wanted increased availability, more security and control and lower costs.

Do you think your choices had any impact on your success?

Yes, but for me success is being able to learn, delight customers and to satisfy my own standards on how things should be done.

My understanding is that Apple is going to publish a hash of the database, so a user would be able to compare the hash of the database on their device with the published hash to be “assured” that the same dataset is being used everywhere.
Hmm - I think the reference to Sesame Street in the title might have been confusing some readers, so I've changed it in an attempt to highlight what's unique about your approach. Is that ok?

> The Amazon app/UI is HORRIBLE, too. Like multiple seasons are separate items? WTF. I'll download series I have access to on Amazon just to avoid that app.

Not only that but I've even seen the seasons presented in no order whatsoever: i.e Season 2 followed by Season 8. It is nonsensical.
Are you saying humans cannot visually inspect the actual image that the flag is set against? If not, then how on earth do you prosecute someone if you can't demonstrate they had the actual image, and not just the derivation used to flag it?

The way I see it working is Apple scans a ton of shit, some of it shows up as possible child porn, human intervenes and looks at the source images, if there is indeed child porn they report to the police.
Really fascinating counter-argument to this view is here: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/5wMcKNAwB6X4mp9og/that-alien...

The basic idea is that, the smarter you are and the faster you can think, the more information you can extract from weak signals. It involves creativity, and building models, and some minimum amount of in-built bias, but the upshot is that the amount of information a super-intelligent AI could infer from very small amounts of experience might absolutely stagger the imagination.
> And we have no way to tell what their database contains, nor is there any avenue for redress should we somehow learn of an inappropriate listing.

Yes there is. It’s called legal liability. They are not immune to being held accountable for their actions just like any other non-profit. They may be immune from prosecution for possessing CSAM, but they don’t have any kind of immunity for damages they cause through their own actions.

Yes, I missed the distinction. On the other hand, we're talking about repairing a laptop which is nearly 10 years old and still having it be useful, so there must be some durability there.

In my jurisdiction, minor electrical work can be done by the homeowner (as long as it's a single family home). I think technically even major electrical word can be done by the homeowner as long as it's inspected and signed off, though it's possible that the inspector will require electrician signoff first.

But if a guy who is a master electrician in El Salvador can sell himself as an electrician here, then a homeowner may trust him to do major electrical work "Permits? Naa, you don't need permits for this, that'll just make it more expensive. Trust me! I'm an Electrican and I've been doing this work for 20 years back home"

Interesting statement considering they already categorically ban some sex toys and acts. Not exactly inclusive.

I refuse to accept that as an answer as to why the battery is glued in. It's just laziness by apple, there's is literally zero reason to use glue to hold the battery, and it means that if you want to ever replace it yourself you end up looking at a 50-steps long guide on ifixit where one of them is pouring solvent behind the battery - it's insane. Just have a system of tabs holding the battery packs in place, glue is not needed.

I strongly recommend this if you can install it. I did it for my tech-illiterate partner for his 2014ish MBP, installed 1/2 TB SDD. It is snappy than before and the FaceTime finally works on his MBP. Before then, his MBP will not get the FT call notification until the last ringing and then it will send the notification but it is too late. I am not sure how spinning rust have a impact on FT from loading. He is not screen recording or anything, it just will struggle so hard to load FT and often failed on spinning rust. Now on SDD, it load normally without issue. Strange behavior. I tried to find info about this but I couldn't find any information about this. Looks like it is one-off deal thing.

Is there any evidence that this played any significant part or is it just a conspiracy theory? The CEO said:
