Note that apparent cost and actual cost are not the same thing.

The purchase price is lower without a warranty, but the actual incurred risk cost is higher.

Absent a warranty, that's not only a risk shift from the manufacturer to the consumer, but a real cost shift, as steps which might increase reliability are not taken and the consequences of those decisions (made by the manufaucturer) accrue to the purchaser.

There is also the incidnece cost and the cost of liquidity or credit required to front a repair bill in the hundreds or thousands of dollars. Given that much of the US cannot meet an unexpected $400 expense in a month, this is a significant consideration. MacBook owners may represent a more affluent portion of the population, but a $10k repair bill over four years remains significant. That's a constant $208/mo reliability tax on that particular unit, for this owner.

Note that in this case, Apple did eat the cost as the repairs were covered under the AppleCare Protection Plan.
They did this for a number of years on Wii/Wii U. You could buy Smash 64 from them for $10. It wasn't nearly as popular as their current games. Paper Mario 64 for $10 was sick, though. Loved it after having played TTYD.
Regarding that background, I agree that the scale does require more consideration.

For a similar example, Apple's Airtags have a number of protections against using them for nefarious purposes. Tile, Samsung SmartTag, and similar devices don't, but Tile users are about 2 orders of magnitude less common than Apple users. You could get pinpoint tracking of a person just about anywhere by dropping an Airtag in their bag, but you'd be lucky to pick up one or two pings if you dropped a Tile.

I think the NeuralHash client scanning approach is overly invasive, but at the same time I think it's a good thing that Apple has someone who's thinking about bad things that can happen while people are using their products.
The animated console demo in the README is actually an animated SVG file: https://github.com/DannyBen/bashly/blob/master/demo/cast.svg

Anyone know what tool is used to create that?
I subscribe to Spotify but I dropped Rogan when he left. I have all my other podcasts in one app, listening history and all.

Now I have to drop that because Spotify want to play monopoly? S** that.
And don't forget the abomination that was DIVX.

It's probably being done for ease of manufacturing. The bots can handle glue better than tabs and straps. Also, they can put batteries in every dead space available in the machine to maximize system battery life. I agree it's ridiculous you need to use a solvent, carefully, in order to remove the batteries. I suppose this is the state of the art for now?
This is the weakest analysis I have ever seen for an article. It's just noise. The sample size is too small to make any inference. A combination of people quarantined due to covid , the election, and BLM hype is why 2020 was such a big year. Joe Rogan is still hugely influential. His comments in 2021 about vaccines made headlines everywhere.
Is anyone actually pretending it’s different?

Most people I talk to buy VPN services to avoid legal threats from pirated movies or to avoid traffic surveillance from their local ISP / workplace / institution.

I’ve never heard someone describe it like a hard-to-denonymize tor node or anything.
Several of the issues were with the keyboard, which on this model was the infamous butterfly model that has well documented reliability issues.

Apple sacrificed durability for thinness and it came back to bite them in the ass with many many AppleCare claims. On the plus side it probably didn't cost Apple a full $400 each time they had to replace a keyboard.
that's a very narrow definition that excludes a lot of mediocre works which are typically classified as art. I m not interested in that discussion as much in why porn and prostitution are lumped together.
What's the web browsing experience like on Haiku? Really if it could run a modern browser and IDE I'd try it out.

It looks like there's an OpenJDK port - that'd open up a lot of possibilities[0].

I kinda wish this stuff was saved in a warehouse somewhere in a deep cave. In a post-apocalyptic world, even a z80 microprocessor can put our tech tree 1000 years forward.
Yes, more speech is always the answer. Which is why the unmoderated internet is a such a bastion of enlightened, thoughtful discourse.
Equating any criticism of the strategies pushed by the medical establishment as "antivaxx" is just as counterproductive as calling everything "racist" or "transphobic" or "homophobic" or any of the other epithets being bandied around by the new puritans. Words have meanings, these meanings can change over time (language evolves) but forcing them to change to fit a given narrative leads to an unhealthy political and social climate. It is what Orwell wrote about in "1984", what Solzhenitsyn wrote about in "The First Circle", what Bradbury wrote about in "Fahrenheit 451", none of which were meant as user manuals for a healthy society.
Apart from Britain and its empire itself, loans and leases on generous terms from the United States.
Other than the show changing since the move Spotify just isn't a good media player, and it's a shitty podcast app.
You should downgrade it back to MacOS 10.x version range. I'm still on 10.13 myself, I don't feel any strong urges to upgrade to Mojave or Catalina. If I stopped using homebrew and started using macports or pkgsrc I'd probably be even less bothered by needing to upgrade. (homebrew is pretty shitty with older OSes)

I'm also on a 2015 MBP that's still going strong. It's snappy and I'm happy. I upgraded the SSD last year, and that made a dramatic difference as well. Upgraded to 1TB, write speed jumped from 282 MB/s to 1321 MB/s, read speed jumped from 964 MB/s to 1505 MB/s. (2015 is the last year that Macbook Pros had upgradeable SSDs)
Maybe this is perhaps one of the greatest artistic ironies ever?

The 'barely born baby, into the world chasing the dollar on the devil's rod' ... has come to life in the 'baby adult demanding money for something he's probably not owed, making hyperbolic claims of 'child porn'.

I think if he were not naked, he would have a much harder time with the 'sex crime' hyperbole.

Nudity isn't porn.
> Everyone who is eligible and medically able needs to get vaccinated. I'm getting super tired of all this garbage; the US has had the vaccine supply and capability to be out of the pandemic by now

That's a rather polarized position... what facts or experienced led you to this conclusion you stated? Specifically "the unvaccinated are screwing over the rest of us who are doing the right thing".
Are they? I can lease a VPS for under $12 a year. I don’t know of a VPN service that cheap unless it’s free and has limitations.
That sounds interesting. I'll send you a mail tomorrow
That contributes massively to readability.
There are a few companies using old salt mines for preservation. I am sure they'd be happy to include a tech time capsule if you reached out to them.
There are tools to do that sort of feature generalization. https://github.com/migurski/Skeletron is one that comes to mind.
You see an equivalency between discussing new vaccine technologies for a novel virus, and discussing whether the Sun orbits the Earth?
I fail to see how scanning my photos on my device is a win for privacy. What’s the point of E2E encryption if there’s access to the device? E2EE is meaningless in the presence of this backdoor.
No need to repeat step 3. Code for each command (in case you want a bash script with subcommands), is placed in `src/<command_name>_command.sh`. Running `bashly generate` will always read it and re-merge it.

I think this is a good minimal example:

Say I'm an interviewer running a podcast about SaaS startups. Which is more useful?

1. I interview a handful of people who have differing opinions on what it takes to lead a SaaS startup who have all had successful exist, but have differing opinions on key issues. Maybe throw in a few people who have experience working in that type of environment, but maybe not leading, if you want a little more variety.

2. I interview someone who has led a successful exit like in (1), but I also interview a full time commission visual artist who has never worked at a SaaS startup. I give both their ideas on how to run a SaaS startup equal weight, even when the visual artist isn't making any sense in the context of the conversation or is spewing nonsense in the context of the conversation.

Joe does (2). They are both "free speech", but only one is actually useful.
Thanks. I was under the impression that the hashes were easier to get.
Lately it is getting harder to get an episode I want to listen to. 70-80% are comedian friend episodes which I have 0% inclination to listen to (I wonder how many people listen to them compared to other episodes) and then there are 10-20% guests either from MMA or boring 20x already told story about gender/vaccines/masks/invermectin/etc. And then there are 10% of interesting guests. Previously on youtube it was much better. I even enjoy listening to some quacks, like Graham Hanckok because he has interesting stories, but he does not even has that lately.
Joe Rogan is a professional comedian, among other side gigs like his podcast and commentating UFC fights.
I think information and land have salient differences. It's not fair to say that I must be wrong because I just don't "get it".
Well, we haven't proven you're not an (insert horrible slur here) so let's have an endless stream of guests speculate on whether or not you are!
For me, chatting online for hours on end since ~1997. My impatience to get a message out naturally resulted in typing faster.. I also played piano since childhood which I'm sure helped.
> And how do you propose that all of these evil regimes are going to get their images into the NCMEC database?

All they have to do is say: in order to sell iPhones in this country, you must do what we want. Apple will capitulate.
To me, Joe Rogan is permanently and fondly associated with the episodes of Chappelle Show with Tyrone Biggums.
Turkey: The Rising Tech Talent Hub
Turkish developers’ progress is making the country a rising tech talent hub - let me explain how.
That's fine. An uneducated guy bringing on other uneducated guys that talk about something as if they're experts. Joe is an "average dude" who loves his disinformation and nodding his head to whatever BS someone says. People like words, personalities, hand waving. That's not where truth comes from. Truth is a hard fought battle that doesn't come to you in a podcast. It comes in written words, proofs, and is filled with uncertainty. Actual experts dont give black and white answers, they provide the information and context. People don't like that because it's complicated.
They do recycle SSNs! I had a project where we used the death master files (they use to be more free/public, now https://ladmf.ntis.gov looks like they have a fee ). It was really interesting data pull sequences of users with the same SSN, similar names, and different birthdays. The users with typo SSNs were interesting too.
>Milo Yiannopoulos is a self-proclaimed white supremacist

Pretty sure he said that while married to a black dude, so unless you can come up with something specific I think its comedy/trolling.
This gets brought up here lots, but the whole "leave for 20% more pay" thing only is true earlier in your career. You will eventually plateau. Your next job switch will maybe be 15-20%, your next one 10-15%, etc. until you reach the inevitable compensation plateau. I'm over 20 years into my career and my last job change was for +1% or so, and I looked! No company would offer more.
I'm a tiny bit disappointed to see that the tool itself is written in Ruby - writing it in Bash (with a command-line interface that was generated by itself) would be deeply nerdily pleasing to me.

Totally understand why you would write this in Ruby instead though!
I was looking for who these listeners were switching to, or what the change was relative to overall podcast listenership, and was totally surprised the authors didn't include a base rate in their analysis. Not including base rates in references to anything quantitative is like writing spam emails with spelling mistakes because being dumb enough not to notice is a good proxy for being dumb enough to buy what you are selling. Though I doubt whether the people at the Verge have the sophistication to be intentionally fraudulent. They just need enough noise or to craft a conflict around. However it's a good example of data-horoscope journalism, where you backfit your narrative to points on a line.

Rogan is probably the most successful podcaster in the world by a variety of possible metrics, and I'm not sure what a reasonable expectation of how that plays out would be. Does he transform into a being of pure light and ascend into space, or, does he just do a job he likes until he doesn't anymore, and moves on to something else?

The Verge should just say what they mean, which is that Rogan talks to off-brand people and you shouldn't be tempted by how good the conversations are because it will not align you with crumbling mainstream narratives, and instead you should spend your time engaged with their clickbait talking points factory deciphering their adolescent purple sophistry.
For a long time he thought the moon landing was fake. That's not a position you arrive at with reasoned science and understanding how the world works. He's stated he thinks Bigfoot could be real. He does the same thing on a myriad of other topics. He presents some random quack as just as valid as real science.

If he was just some random dude none of this would matter. But with 11 million followers, sometimes this "my youtube research is just as valid as your scientific research" attitude can do real harm, as it did with vaccines.
There is no real legal distinction between entertainers and journalists. The separation of news and editorial content is purely a matter of ethics and not law. Journalists don't have any special statutory privileges.
My parents still have the Mac LC that boots fine although I think the 40MB HDD is starting to have issues.

The hardest part is getting data off of the machine since all of the I/O options are obsolete. I had to use floppy disks last time.
On Board Diagnostics
Speaking of Anbox, development has almost halted after their kernel modules were effectively made worthless so that any "host" system's kernel has to be built with Anbox's required features. I love the fact that it's starting to come back with these Linux phones. :)
Four kinds of professionals:

1) mechanic-like workmen in the classic mold of the "blue collar" work ethic but don't pretend to be better/worse than others. Often produce better results that the "IQ" tests would suggest.

2) Usually competent but imposter syndrome people that sometimes lose focus due to lack of faith in training and ability. Capable of high achievement (probably better than #1) but often struggle with consistency in end results. Often undersell themselves, so it's hard to tell if they know what they are doing.

3) Status seekers that hide subpar ability or even downright incompetence with degrees and arrogance. Kind of a high functioning "Dunning-Kruger" subtype with conman/sociopathic /social abilities.

4) The frighteningly competent that case #3 pretend to be, #2 might be able to do, and are basically #1 combined with real talent.

Sounds like you ended up with #3.

Whenever I encounter an "expert" in a field, it comes down to diagnosing whether they are a 3 or a 4.
There is a story to tell here beyond just conventional recycling computers...

One could be on the digital divide. For example, there are plenty of computers that may not even need recycling which could be given new life by installing a lightweight linux distribution. This opens up opportunities for folks on the tough side of the digital divide...because perfectly functional computers can be repurposed for lightweight use and donated to folks who can not afford computers.

Another approach could be for Dell to acknowledge to donor, "hey, we noticed that yo wish to recycle that computer...did you know that your machine can run Ubuntu, and maybe given new life? We even sell you a $10 support package for ubuntu, etc.?" Maybe this is not always possible, but there are cross-selling opportunities for Dell and Ubuntu here. (I say ubuntu not to exclude other linux distros but simply because Dell already sells computers loaded with ubuntu, so there's precedenct for support.)

I'm sure there are other options beyond the above...because just having a web form for conventional recycling almost feels...i don't know "disposable"? Am i crazy for thinking this?

> you've picked a side and have your ears shut

OP doesn’t claim Rogan should be de-platofrmed. Just that pushing batshit theories is an explanation for his declining influence. I enjoy watching flat earthers from time to time. But I’m not going to make it a part of my information diet.
Yeah, when they spout obviously false, easily-checkable things like "it alters your DNA" that are clearly intended to scare people.
I think we all know JRE is not about two people having shit conversation. I used to listen to it since 2016. In the past couple of years, JRE is all about let's bring out what triggers the other side; no matter what the other side is all about.

I have friends I have lost because of this, whom I have no idea how to respond to their messages anymore; Intelligent and educated ones.

Regular people argument doesn't apply in here.
There's an older thread linked inside the thread that indicates that the rental stores would rewind the tapes. Unclear if they would then rent them out again.

> the stores had special machines that could rewind the red tapes, but those weren't sold to customers.
It's amusing in light of the later "be kind, rewind" campaign Blockbuster shoved in our faces for so long.

the health experts a year ago said vaccines would make this go away, and before that they predicted that masks and social distancing would flatten the curve. With the exception of a few countries, none of that happened. At this ponit, I don't think anyone knows anything.

due to rampant downvoting, I will respond to individual replies here:

"This worked perfectly basically anywhere people actually complied. "

Italy had among the strictest lockdowns in April but saw a huge resurgence at the end of2020

" Largely it did happen, we just don't see the counterfactual. It could have been a lot worse. "

That is moving the goalposts. The claim by the experts was that the vaccines were 95% effective at stopping the spread. It seemd that way until a few months ago when Deltacame along.
Joe is "regular people"? He's a sitcom actor. He makes a couple hundred million a year on podcast ad revenue alone. He only presents himself as a "regular" person because that's the demographic he's targeting.
JRE is not a comedy show though.
Guide to master JavaScript types: part 1
WebPositive is based on modern WebKit but quite a few features have not yet been enabled (because they depend on platform code that is not implemented) or function not so well. But there is potential for sure.

Nothing prohibits porting Chromium or Firefox, they are just huge projects with a massive surface area. (Even WebKit, smaller than both of those, is larger than all of Haiku itself.) So we have put our time into WebKit instead.

There is Qt Creator already in the package repositories, and I think someone got Code::Blocks to at least build if not start. I've heard NetBeans used to work, though I'm not sure it still does. Eclipse would require much more work.
Joe who?
Being a comedian does not magically relieve a person from their responsibility to not credulously spread around dangerous pseudoscience during a pandemic. Plus, that's simply not very funny. By the way, GP did not say "be more serious", as you likely know. They said he should take his enormous reach more seriously.
> The pf firewall is much easier to use with confidence than iptables

Tell me more! I cut my teeth on ipchains/iptables back in the early 90's, and feel very familiar with it. That said, I know that doesn't mean it's the best/easiest at all. I've tried to grok Pf once or twice, but never ended up getting very far. I wanted to ask you if you began with Pf, or if you came from something else? More or less, I'm trying to figure out if Pf was difficult for me just because it wasn't my first.
Who is Joe Rogen and why would I care?
Joe's anti mask bullshit has caused people to die. Yea, I'd like him to take that seriously.
Stop. The problem is you need to feed your kid today. Not when the judge or law gets around to deciding you’re right. Just stop arbitrating other people’s lives. It’s not hard.

haha, the genesis library is about 90% just different hacked versions of Sonic 1, with different sprites replacing Sonic.
And one I found particularly cute, "Sonic's Unexciting Quest", which starts in a level called "Straight Line Zone".
Yeah! I actually dropped an old secondhand SSD in mine and it makes a huge difference. You'd never guess the machine is over a decade old other than the slightly bulkier form-factor and mediocre resolution, haha (and in fact I actually really like the keyboard compared to newer models!)

Yup contracted is the word I mean.
If your position is something along the lines of, babies cant consent, young children cant consent, why dont we just live in a world where we dont include them in media so we dont have people growing up having to figure out how they feel about how they were presented to the world... sure, that would be a pretty consistent world view.

If its just that you think a naked baby is pornographic then I guess its an entirely different conversation. Its not really clear what motivates your statement here though.
I've seen so many different grand theories proposed in this thread, but to me this seems like it was the most obvious one from the start. My guess: yes, it was intended to achieve an effect; no, it wasn't built on false pretenses / a viral marketing stunt / a way to avoid negative press from the BBC. It was probably a way for them to respond to escalating pressure from financial intermediaries with some pressure of their own.
Is this a joke? How many different things have scientists said about every single thing that has happened in this pandemic?
If you name too low of a price, they'll think you're clueless or have self esteem issues or something, and won't hire you.
WebPositive uses WebKit, and recently updated it. So it's fairly functional.
