Why a 19th-Century Plan to Replace Black Labor with Chinese Labor Failed
Probably a good thing, considering how generally useless and obnoxious the Académie Française is. English speakers around the world have no need for a bunch of snooty, self-appointed busybodies trying to police language.
There are plenty of "right of woke" comments in there, but as far as proof, what would you like to see?

There are plenty of folks who haven't been banned, so clearly it's not everyone. Do you have records of all of the people who have been banned so we can directly test the assertion I'm responding to?
It really depends on what you define as natural abilities. The ability to work hard for 12 hours without break every day IMHO is as "natural" as having a good IQ.
As someone with no relevant diagnosis but who considers their memory and attention to be occasionally questionable, I find a solution (not always attainable, but I try) in mustering up the energy to create [recurring, if applicable] calendar entries with reminders. Anything to streamline and reduce the friction associated with doing so, such as using voice assistants as much as possible, is super helpful. The slightest bit of thought along the lines of "I'll probably remember" to get out of documenting the reminder is a major catalyst for failure.

Therefore, I'd consider the quantity/frequency of such reminders (detectable by cloud calendar/reminder providers) to be an early indicator of such issues.
I believe this is the case. Engineers level up primarily based on experience, learning from their team, etc. Because security is:

a) Often not prioritized

b) Handled in the shadows by some other team

the engineers don't get exposed to it. Security hasn't gone through an 'operations' evolution where it melds with engineering so these problems aren't getting better.

I don't know... Seems your own post has missed the mark pretty sharply as well.

To me, it was abundantly clear that the purpose of this tungsten cube is not for engineering or practical utility.
Not the cheapest. Rent would be more like $900.
Yes, we can. But from a public health perspective, many people will just short circuit to "I had the sniffles some time in the last year so I got covid. So I don't need to find a site, fill out a form, wait in line and potentially lose a couple of days of work due to symptoms. Plus, you know, those microchips - it could be true :)" One of the biggest challenges we have is picking public health messaging for a broad audience that does the most good and the least harm.

I'm still frustrated that the decision was made early on in the pandemic to say that masks don't work. And the convoluted reasoning that if you didn't have a perfect fit or if you touched the outside of the mask that was somehow more dangerous than being unmasked in a location with a sufficiently high viral load for the other stuff to matter. I also understand that the concern was that if we told the truth (masks do matter, and respirators are even better, but please don't buy them to protect yourself and your family because we didn't stockpile enough, so we need them for the doctors and nurses) we'd have had even more supply challenges.
On the contrary. Discovering that life is nothing but advanced molecular nanotechnology - even if not designed by us, and too complex for us to completely grok - is one of the most profound achievements of the last century. Magical thinking is preventing us from growing as people.

You're missing something all right
You make my case for me right here

Every example you give here is of intra-left debate within a tiny overton window. Opinions around palestine haven't yet crystallized, because WW2 wounds of the holocaust are still fresh. Similarly, Biden was the most hated of the democratic choices on the left. The far-left is still trying to squareoff between their opinion of biden vs hatred of trump vs hawkish liberal empire building vs mistreatment of afghans by Taliban. The opinions around these topics have still not concretized in the culture war. That being said, I certainly see the direction in which the winds are blowing.

__________

On the surface social propaganda dynamics function in a way that is wonderfully elaborated on this post : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20183001 (I Can Tolerate Anything Except the Outgroup)

However, under the surface, real propaganda emphasizes the an insidious ostracization of another community member : the in-group-contrarian. (IGC) (read more here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23596617)

Propaganda mods will often allow the stupidest of opinions on climate change and racism to stay on. In part, because the community does their job for them by heavily downvoting these opinions.

But, the IGC is far more dangerous. They start making too much sense (are usually thoughtful & polite), have a proven 'correct' identity (can't easily be dismissed with adhominems) and have some level of credibility (professional stature in the correct circles). Classic examples of IGCs would be black conservatives (Glenn Loury), Anti-woke academics (Jordan Peterson) or atheist ex-muslims (Ayaan Hirsi Ali). Don't read too much into the examples, I don't endorse or even totally agree with most of these people. (The fact that I feel a need to say this, shows the soft fear I have of being called an islamophobic transphobic trump-lover by association, despite aligning with none of those groups)

The IGCs are treated far far worse than any outgroup member. Classic gives are that they get called stupid, opportunist, sell-outs,self-help shills and the like. I have heard some vicious anti-semitic and racist stuff being thrown at IGCs by the left-woke establishment, to shut them down before they get too big. The fear of these people is palpable. I feel like I got insta-banned due to having the trappings of a prospective IGC.

If a member is too prominent at the time of them expressing an IGC opinion, then they get de-platformed (Bari Weiss, Matt Yglesias). The smartest IGCs know to sandwich their IGC view a ton of qualification, express IGC views as a way to point guns in the direction of common ideological enemy and express it sparsely enough to not aggravate too many people. (Contrapoints, John McWhorter). The most dangerous IGCs are those that cannot be deplatformed by a minority, whose ethical compass and merit cannot be dismissed, and are practically pillars of their community ( Total Biscuit RIP, Noam Chomsky, Scott Alexander, Chapelle, Paul G to a lesser degree). This last group is a total pain in the ass to deal with for propagandists.

The way I look at it, luck is a very important variable, but it's one outside your control almost by definition, so it's not worth writing about how to change it.

So if you can't load the dice what can you do to get those high rolls? Well, maybe you can roll the dice more often (try more avenues, work harder), maybe the dice aren't all equal and you can observe many dice and pick the ones that happen to be paying out higher than you would expect if they were truly fair (market research), or something else.. I think people write about all those things not to claim that the dice rolls don't matter but because there are things that are both controllable and matter.

I agree with the burnout though, it can be hard to keep playing when you feel like a high roll is "due" but can't get one. I feel like some part of this is how we are wired, to solve the multi-armed bandit problems that life present us.

But what do I know, my rolls haven't been very high. I wish you luck in beating the burnout.
Ukraine — almost in any city. I recommend Kharkiv and Lviv.
I think we are seeing that leaders really make a difference.

Microsoft made some leadership changes - game changing.

Apple - they have done a lot of supply side management (own chips, great supply chain). Has let them continue to pump out insane quantities of cutting edge parts (ie, watch / macbooks / M1 etc) on cutting edge nodes etc at insane margins.

Cook is more of the financial / supply chain guy? So we've seen optimization on that side (vs huge new product catagories). The payoff $ wise is amazing, not sure though if he can do the jobs -> new product catagory type move.
This makes a lot of sense as Bosch make so many automotive parts. In Europe, it doesn't matter whether you buy a BMW, a Peugeot or a Volvo, under the hood they are all using Bosch electronics to control the engine and many other parts of the car.
Lol. All I can say is that if you’re Muslim or of African decent it’s not gonna be the same as a Caucasian. Many do not believe in political correctness. Not that Europe abides by that like the US does but also not something you’d see in the UK, France, or Germany. Even Indian coworkers had "issues" there.

I have childhood friends who came to the US during the Yugoslav wars in the 90s. When I mentioned them my coworkers they would quickly point out the last name was Muslim and not Serbian. Also they would point out the one or two Albanians that worked with us.
Which levels of security will you find in Croatia - including appropriate behaviour of public officers, such as the police?

The discussion does not involve you, so kindy butt out. I asked the OP a question not you.

Burden of proof is on the commenter. They did not provide proof. The burden is not on me to Google anything when someone else spouts a claim.

Your first article is literally just a guy saying it has changed with nothing to back it up.

From the second study which I'm guessing you haven't even read-

"Climate and other environmental changes are expected to increase the risk of ticks and TBDs in a number of ways."

"Prolonged extremes values of temperature (high or low), low humidity and intense rainfall could adversely affect tick development by reducing their activity and increasing their mortality rateFootnote 5. These changes in temperature are expected to have less of an effect on ticks than on mosquitoes because of the tick’s ability to find refuge in their woodland habitats"

"It is important to note, however, that the relationship between tick-borne diseases and climate is not linear."

Notice the key words EXPECTED and ANTICIPATED.
Transaction costs, taxes, maintenance, interest opportunity cost, etc. all of the same reasons that it might be cheaper to rent in the USA than buy.
The key thing here isn't that trump was a political opponent of Twitter/Facebook, but he was encouraging his supporters to overthrow the Democratically elected government of the US and put him in the office of POTUS.

It makes sense for US companies to ban people trying to overthrow the US.
Lots and lots of places. Plenty of the world is safe, cheap and easy to live in for a few months.

Do you have any specific time zone requirements? That makes a big difference if collaborating with anyone.

The length of time you can stay on a tourist visa has a big impact. It is limited to 90 days in most of the EU where there are open borders. You would need to fully exit the schengen zone countries for 90 days to be eligible for another 90. This is one of the things that makes Croatia and Bulgaria popular, since they are within the EU, but outside schengen. A few countries are starting digital nomad visas, so if you want to stay longer you can look into those.

Not sure what your vibe is, but check out Bansko, Bulgaria as a nice summer and winter destination with a good set of coworking spaces, extremely cheap cost of living and expat/digital nomad community. Lisbon and Chiang Mai are also very popular in the DN community. Really a lot of this would depend on the time of year for me since I like being places when the weather is nice.

And an obligatory mention of health insurance in these covid times. Travel insurance can be quite cheap and the health care systems of other countries can have vastly reduced prices as well, just make sure you have looked into this and made a plan.
Pichilemu, Valparaíso (Viña del Mar) or Santiago of Chile are actually pretty good, safe and cheap, and there's a Google node just a couple of streets of the port in Valpo.

The latter. You can look up videos of "phosh" to see what it looks like.

If you want a mini-laptop OS because you always run it docked or something, you're of course free to use a desktop-first shell that provides that. Though the phone-first shells also support that already ("convergence").
Looks very very useful. Does it work on desktop only ie offline mode?
It's a tendentious, provocative and clichéd claim followed by a couple of Wikipedia quotes. There are many valid criticisms of Chinese actions and objectives in Tibet, but describing it as "exactly the same" as the Nazi approach to lebensraum which was most notable for involving the systematic extermination of the residents is insulting to the intelligence of the average HN reader as well as being likely to attract the ire of Chinese people participating on these forums.
Just to add to that, consider the hacker (technically cracker) only has to be right once, the security team has to be right 100% of the time and with 100% of the attack surface. There could be a new attack surface that wasn't even a thing at any given moment. Also consider a lot of the attack surfaces are software not even written by the company being attacked (Windows/Routers/etc).

It's like the 2000 era adage, the terrorists only have to be right once.
It's kind of a double edged sword- I've worked with a few people that "work hard" and "get things done", only to find out once they leave (or go on vacation) that now we have to untangle a 600 line bash script that's integral to production.

I'm being a bit hyperbolic here, but the gist of my point is: not everyone who works hard is worth keeping around, especially if their hard work leads to an un-managable mess in the future.
No credit risk from the tenant.

You can safely assume that for any critical external dependencies, Apple is working on one or more Plan Bs.
I got one as well, around the same time actually, as a gift. I also fell into a strange fascination with it and find it fun to hold in the exact same ways as the author. Folks tend to get me 1" element (or sometimes non elemental but interesting in another way) cubes as gifts now which works out as it gives a great range of price to choose from while maintaining surprise with the guarantee I'll enjoy it.

I've had my sites set on something this size https://midwesttungsten.com/tungsten-cube/ for a while now. (about as much as I would feel safe setting down or handing to people considering the hard edges and chance of accidents) I've more than had the spending money to do it for a long time but much like the author I've just had a hard time justifying it. I suppose it's still less ridiculously than what many spend on car hobbies or whatnot. I'm sure I'll eventually get something of the nature.

I'll also add I was extremely surprised others enjoyed it as well. Of all of my desk toys/models/prints it's generated the most talk amongst friends and coworkers.

I'd like to experience a sizeable amount of iridium some day as well.

Edit: One of the most fun gifts I've received (beyond the tungsten cube) was a 1" magnesium cube. Apart from being a ridiculous fire/blinding risk capable of easily melting through the tungsten cube if set off it is even lighter than an equivalently sized aluminum cube.

Can we? Sure.

Is it a massive waste of resources versus "just get the fucking vaccine"? Also sure.

It's probably moreso the hardware that will bug you, not the software - Linux on System76 machines is probably the closest to "it actually just works" that I've seen and it's super cool, but at the end of the day it's still rebranded Clevo shells.

I like their desktop towers and I remain hopeful they can do their own laptop one day.
We still create extremist personas, that don’t exist in real life. I know in France this tactic is used very often to trigger a demonstration of “the good guys”. When you interview the opponents, they’re 1 for 10.000 (=insignificant).

For example with feminism, when asked precise questions, you notice they are afraid of people that don’t exist (meanwhile the actual rapists are still free to roam).
I don't really agree with "they aren't at all". If anything, engineering skills are extremely undervalued in infosec.
It gets applied to roads because people keep trying to “solve” traffic without pricing roads. Nobody likes being stuck in traffic, but unfortunately it seems most people are also angrily opposed to tolls which would balance supply and demand and allow roads to flow smoothly (for those willing to pay). There’s a faction of people who _swear_ that if we just built one more highway we’ll _solve_ traffic. That’s who the “induced demand” argument is aimed at.

To your broader point, all services work like this to a point; if you first suppose there’s insufficient supply to meet demand, then adding supply can induce more demand. There’s an eventual saturation point for everything though. Tear down all the buildings downtown and replace them with parking lots. There will be plenty of unused parking and no more rush hour as there’s no longer a reason to go downtown.
Their threat model[1] states:

> This feature runs exclusively as part of the cloud storage pipeline for images being uploaded to iCloud Photos and cannot act on any other image content on the device. Accordingly, on devices and accounts where iCloud Photos is disabled, absolutely no images are perceptually hashed. There is therefore no comparison against the CSAM perceptual hash database, and no safety vouchers are generated, stored, or sent anywhere.

and

> Apple’s CSAM detection is a hybrid on-device/server pipeline. While the first phase of
the NeuralHash matching process runs on device, its output – a set of safety vouchers –
can only be interpreted by the second phase running on Apple’s iCloud Photos servers,
and only if a given account exceeds the threshold of matches.

We should also take account the way how blinding the hash works from CSAM paper[2]:

> However, the blinding step using the server-side secret is not possible
on device because it is unknown to the device. The goal is to run the final step on the server and finish the process on server. This ensures the device doesn’t know the result of the match, but it can encode the result of the on-device match process before uploading to the server.

What this means, that whole process is tied strictly to specific endpoint in the server.
To be able to match some other files from device into the server, these are also required to be uploaded into the server (PSI implementation forces it). And based on the pipeline description, upload of other files should not be possible. However, if it is and they suddenly change policy to expand to scan all files of your device, they will end-up into the same iCloud as other files, and you will notice them and you can't opt out from that with the current protocol. So they have to modify whole protocol to include only those images which are actually meant to be synced, and then scan all the files (which are then impossible to match on server side because of the how PSI protocol works).
If they create some other endpoint for files which are not supposed to end up into iCloud, they need store them in the cloud anyway, because of the PSI protocol. Otherwise, they have no possibility to detect matches.

It sounds like that this is pretty far away from just policy change away.

Many people have succumbed to populism as it benefits them, and it takes some knowledge and time to really understand the whole system, so I am not surprised that many keep talking, that it is just policy change away. Either way, we must trust everything what they say, or we can't trust a single feature they put on the devices.

We've even see law enforcement blast copyrighted music to prevent video from ending up online. I think you're right, the ability to synchronize clients via playlist versus streaming is going to be the path forward.
Just for the record, I don't think that South Korea is particularly cheap. As OP demonstrates, one can live there for USD 1000/month, but that really holds for most countries. While the US is in the top 5% in terms of nominal GDP per capita, South Korea is in the top 15%. For cheap, yet comfortable and safe, I'd aim around the median, eg Indonesia or Georgia.
