The point is that its done on our end, not apple's end.

Many reasons this is bad.

Obviously the "Slippery slope" argument around it scanning more in future and being abused by the state.

There is the possibility that its exploited/bug that sends data when it shouldn't or falsely reports you (not a collision). Eg. a bug that reports all photos as bad instead of listening to results of scan.

Obviously the possibility of collision sucks. But thats somewhat constant across implementation options.

It wastes your CPU resources and network resources to do something that only benefits apple.

It's a bad precedent because other companies will likely do this now, repeated the above arguments with increasingly less trustworthy companies.

> Vacation doesn't help. It just puts me farther behind.

Terrible way to look at it. The saying “recharge your batteries” is pretty appropriate here, you’re making an investment that when you return you’ll be more productive in the long run.

And further behind…further behind what exactly? Some artificial deadline or some arbitrary release date? That’s not your problem, if management doesn’t factor in people’s vacations that’s on them. Push back a little, get a backbone, and say “no”.
That's not the case. The energy per mile depends only on the L/D ratio and the mass of the aircraft.

L/D is a ratio of forces, and work = force times distance. Going faster at the same L/D decreases the travel time but increases the power used, for the same energy usage. Generally L/D depends on speed, but you can get an apples-to-apples comparison of the energy usage of two different aircraft by comparing only L/D.

I think we might be discussing two different figures of merit. The efficiency that I care about is "energy per lb of payload per mile." You haven't defined what you mean by "efficiency per mile," but from the reference to von Karman efficiency, I think you have a figure-of-merit in mind that includes speed - specific resistance or productivity or something like that.

But the economics of our vehicle and use case don't really change with speed. The middle mile legs that we're flying are not fully-utilized - the most important thing is to get the cost per flight down, so that we can dispatch the aircraft whenever there's a delivery ready.
I can relate to all of these feelings, and yet I’ve got a huge feeling of guilt associated as well. I’m feeling so burned out. I have no motivation at work. I’m drinking more than I like. I often don’t feel like doing anything on my days off. I don’t have the energy to change my situation.

And yet I’m getting great performance reviews at work. I work remotely, of course, and quit at 3pm most days. My burnout is almost the opposite of what’s common: I feel awful that I’m being rewarded and praised for what to me is very little effort. And I’ve got handcuffs. I just got a decent retention bonus as well as a new stock grant with a 1 year cliff for total comp that rivals FAANG but SO LITTLE EFFORT.

I want so badly to quit. I want a few months to just reset and figure out what’s next. I’ve got the savings to. But I’m making so much money and have handcuffs until next summer that it’s insane too. So instead I continue a job that I don’t hate, but instead feel guilty in how little I accomplish, and no pride in what I do. And pin it all on a plan to quit next summer. I just hope I can make it until then.

Anyone relate?
This is precisely why I cringe anytime ANY executive/HR person in a company refers to the team as a "family"

No, areyou going to fucking fire Uncle Joe for being too drunk at thanksgiving and cut him off from the family will and make him sign a non-familial-secrets-disclosure promise?

Fuck that. You are not a family. HR is NEVER your friend.

It's fair that the 'just a comedian' excuse should not work - but - it's fair to say 'he's just an podcaster with discussions of varying seriousness mostly for the purposes of entertainment'.

The overwhelming majority of his content is along those lines, to the point wherein you really have to scrape to find scare quotes. I mean, it's easy to Google because of supposed controversy, but really disagreeable stuff would be hard to find lest you to have to actually sit down and listen to him.

I wish he took a slightly different tact on vaccines (i.e, at the end of every show say 'Folks, it's 100% choice, but vaccines are safe, I've taken, everyone I know has, make the choice for you, your family and community, that's all, goodnight' kind of sign-off), but I don't think he's in condemnation territory either.

All of this said, I'm not sure how he is received in different cultures around the world where he might have influence we're not aware of.
I don't care about Rogan but that's an argument from authority and he avoids answering what he knows/thinks. Using his same logic, you would have to immediately dismiss anything he says regarding this because he's a comedian, not an expert in epistemology and natural science. It's a self-refuting idea, one would have to be a religious believer in the CDC to fall for that.

The chart is misleading because it adjusts for inflation using M3, rather than the Consumer Price Index (CPI). People assess inflation by the prices they pay, not some monetary aggregate. Using CPI, the S&P 500 has recovered to its 2000 peak. Just as important, the owner of an S&P 500 index fund would have received dividends, so her total return would have exceeded inflation.

The caption at the bottom suggests why this misleading analysis is shown. The author is pushing crypto. "Invest wisely and you can maintain or increase your standard of life. Invest poorly and the road to serfdom is real. Invest in crypto"

‘We hire old people’: Job posting for s/w developer sparks a viral conversation
Here is a popular article about the study https://scitechdaily.com/driver-identified-of-the-largest-ma...

Bad news in the sense that last time the atmosphere and oceans absorbed a lot of extra carbon (and too many nutrients from acid rain erosion running to rivers and oceans, causing lack of oxygen for marine life) most marine and land animals on Earth got wiped out over time, and it took millions of years for animal life to re-establish. It seems to have been caused by volcanic activity in Siberia and not dissolution of methane hydrates.
Yep. I was recently asked by an interviewer what burnout means to me. I said it's a function of energy and reward. High energy expenditure paired with high reward is just rewarding work. It's when there's high expenditure with low reward that causes burnout.

I used to listen to Joe Rogan podcasts almost exclusively when it was on Apple podcasts.

Not anymore. Shopify experience is so inferior. The thing pauses for couple of seconds every time you open it as it switches from audio to video even if you don’t want to. The new studio looks claustrophobic - not Spotify fault though. To get back to Spotify, even if you pay for premium to get rid of ads, it doesn’t! I thought something wrong with my account and never looked into it for months until I reached out to Spotify support and been told that Joe Rogan is not included! Very disappointing. Spotify also started removing controversial old podcasts from the before time! Now I have switched my routine to listen to audio books which is more random in term of content quality but at least you don’t fight the platform.
I'm glad you figured it out out for them, then.

Covid-19 Attack Rates by Vaccination Status and Age (Virginia)
If you use M3 (total money supply) as the definition of inflation, which is a pretty bogus thing to do.

Why is it bogus? Because we have more people than we had in 2000. We have more houses, more cars, more computers, more phones. If M3 stayed the same, that would be deflationary, because the same amount of money would be spread over more stuff.
The reputation of a university takes decades to shape and is tied to the reputations of individual professors. For the other schools to "learn to replicate" Berkeley's success, all of their professors would have to become the top experts in their fields overnight. If the professors knew how to do that, they would have done it already, and then a lot of them would have tried to move Berkeley because it has a better reputation.

I'm not saying the other schools have no experts, just that it's a situation where talent tends to concentrate.
You could be right but do you have a better idea? Without environmental impact reports it's likely that there would be nearly no natural land left in California.

Realistically, I think most of the time, if the ad is targeted well, there are no issues. I see a good amount of ads, and the most annoying ones, to me, are the most poorly targeted ones.

However, I do think there is an inherent creepiness involved in the amount of tracking involved to achieve that level of targeting. Normally, as a person who is not terribly privacy minded, I'm not thinking about this tracking that watches everything I do. That is, until I had an experience like the top comment. I ripped the mic out of my Amazon FireTV remote that day. It made me uncomfortable that my conversation left the room without my knowledge or consent. (I realize this was Amazon, not Google, but they all do this sort of thing.)

Edit: I think ad targeting has to achieve a delicate balance of serving potentially helpful ads, while not alerting the target that they are part of the Matrix.

This assumes a constant velocity of money. That's empirically false. Money supply can remain stable while prices soar or collapse solely on the back of velocity changes.
It's a reasonable question because it's hard to fathom what could possibly be the legal grievance here.

Your answer of 'disagreement / mediation / grievance / court' is frankly not very helpful, because it's simply not the case in the vast majority of disagreements.

There has to be some legal grievance for the lawsuit. As it turns out, the issue is brought because apparently UCB, according to the Judge didn't do 'a good enough job' at assessing the social impacts of their growth.

This is firstly, a very odd thing for a judge to do in my view, taking a stance in a very grey matter, moreover, the more salient issue is that the outcome of the impact assessment may not be relevant. If it turns out that the student increase will increase rents and home prices by 30%, well, so what then?

For example "This contradicted the initial agreement" - what legally binding 'agreement' would a university have to have with a local municipality? Surely they'll want to work together and agree to invest here and there, but how does that turn into something binding? I'd like to know.

Given all of this ambiguity, it's a pretty reasonable thing to ask for someone with material legal background for insight.
I feel like I’m going to get downvoted into oblivion for this, but let me try to articulate myself in such a way as to avoid it.

I’ve been burnt out. Pretty bad. Basically coasted at work for 3-4 months because I couldn’t even accomplish simple tasks. I finally pinpointed some stressors that were contributing and through time off, therapy, prayer, and a new job—found myself back in the saddle.

I was much more cynical about burnout before I experienced it. And then I was like, “Oh damn. This is real.”

However, I’m still really curious about the role of tech/software in this relatively new development in psychology.

Because I worked manual labor for several years before getting into tech and while I definitely had times where I was mentally not tuned in, or physically exhausted it was nothing like the actual burnout I, and so many others have experienced before.

It really makes me wonder what amount of burnout is simply running “the engine” (your brain?) too hot for too long?

These are just my musings however. Not saying burnout doesn’t exist, but I do feel like it’s not universal at all. Just my anecdata.
I am. will do.

Realizing that spotify was trying to "steal" podcasting in order to challenge youtube was a depressing thought to me. I always hoped that podcasting, as a free medium, would evolve to the point where it can usurp youtube... but not like this.

Luckily, perhaps, I don't think they're succeeding. I was a semi-loyal listener of most of Spotify's now exclusive content. Besides a select JRE episode that peaks my interest, I don't follow any of them currently.

It's not because Spotify's play is dirty. I'm just using different podcast apps, don't love spotify for podcasting and other such trivialities. As this article mentions, this is probably common. I guess a diverse selection of clients still counts for something.
Yeah, it kinda surprises me how many people seem okay with the current state of never seeing people you work with in person. I don't know if they are just different than me or they don't talk about it, but I really miss seeing my coworkers even if its only for brief periods.

> In a society without governments, there would be no-one able to prevent the use of violence. Eventually, organisations which provide violence as a service (whether offensive or defensive) would come up.

So basically warring mini-states, mercenary groups, mafias. We've been there before, most of history in fact. In a lot of places with little to no government control, we're still there now.

> The expensive nature of violence (nobody in their right mind would spend the money we spend on wars if the cost of war wasn't socialised through mandatory taxes) would push these organisations to negotiate contracts to settle matters peacefully

Regaining stability after dismantling the current monopolies on violence than ensure it will take a very long time, and in the interim the situation will be extremely violent. The world didn't start settling matters relatively peacefully until two massive world wars occurred, and even then it only settled matters between some major western governments, not the world as a whole.
Yes, Bretton Woods isn't a good example of a time where the US literally lacked control over monetary policy.

However, the GP stated that countries without control of monetary policy cease to exist. For the purposes of addressing that statement a period of >30 years where the US decided not to exercise any control seems nearly as good of a counter-example as a period where they literally had no control.
