If they were covered in Nazi tattoos, would you be saying the same thing? Tattoos don't make you into a bad person; bad people get bad tattoos, like ones glorifying ruthless comic book vigilantes specifically designed to appeal to the 70s law-and-order Dirty Harry audience.
true, but i actually turn that explicitly off on physical network settings in windows.

My guess is windows will apparently not let u control such things, as the advertising data pipe has to be alive no matter what. Microsft seems to be both google and apple at the same time, selling ads and hardware.

Plenty of companies are actively working behind the scenes to stop anyone at all from repairing products. That's what right to repair is all about (it's not an obligation to repair). Here's a better example https://www.wcvb.com/article/5-investigates-ads-over-massach...

I'm trying to imagine how much bigger this "phone" is going to be now that it has, say, a socketed CPU and slots for RAM. Will cargo pants still cut it, or do I need to go to a messenger bag for carrying my new "phone"?
Deep Learning's Diminishing Returns
The main problem with this is it would basically hand the market over to Apple. They're the only company with the vertical integration to be capable of supporting all their hardware and software properly for this sort of time span. Hence their ability to already support their devices solidly for twice as long as the longest supported Android devices.

All the Android manufacturers, with the exception of Samsung, rely on their parties for hardware components and therefore device driver binaries that would need supporting and patching. And all of them including Samsung rely on Google for OS patches (well, except Google). Third party firmware is why Google struggles to support their devices for more than 3 or 4 years.

A lot of manufacturers wouldn't even exist after 10 years. Blackberry, Nokia, Palm, all gone in the last 10 years. HTC were big back in 2011 but gave up on phones a few years ago. I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.
I'm not talking about old, forgotten code.

I'm saying that, every time, there is a "${old-existing-thing} in ${current-language-of-the-day}", people upvote it, start it on github, and continue using the old one, written in c/c++.

A few months will go buy, and people will continue using mgba/visualboy/vbam or whatever was popular before.

"Independent Fact Checkers" is a rhetorical persuasion play. If you think about it, what does "Independent" actually mean? Does it really matter if a cohort of "fact checkers" aren't owned by the same conglomerate when they are cut from the same ideological cloth?
Python and Rust as well. C# invented a large part of the design of async/await that has been adopted by other languages. I figure if there's a better way, it would have been improved on by now since those other languages had plenty of time to see the issues with C#'s version.
How is .NET fighting against JavaScript or Python? Java or Go, I can understand but not JavaScript or Python.
The "fast startup" cause a lot of problems for us. If you "shutdown" you're not doing a full shutdown.... You’re really only doing a full shutdown when you select “Restart” instead as evidenced by the uptime clock in task manager.

Reminds me of the issue I remember with old Dell gaming laptops where the cups just had an insane amount of thermal paste on them so they always ran way hotter than they should.

You really can't trust the manufacturer to know what they're doing, especially if the potential problem is unlikely to be covered under warranty.

> The discussion about forest management was valid and important, it should just be happening at the same time as discussion about climate change.

I disagree. From where I sit, if you want to have a discussion about forest management, you first have to address the "it's all climate change's fault" smokescreen. Otherwise everybody shrugs and says "climate change, what can you do" and nobody will talk about what you actually can do.
I got a new laptop earlier this year and I was eyeing this exact one. I was going to wipe out windows and put linux on it(as is tradition with me) but I ended up settling for an Asus once again. It seems like you can get a lot more bang for the buck with Asus in Europe. Can't say it has been an entirely smooth ride for one or two reasons(running a patched kernel driver for the screen backlight) but after reading your comment, I am glad I made that call.
> Kind of like when you accuse anyone pointing out the holes in your argument of being ignorant or apparently unconcerned by atrocities?

Yes! This is exactly the kind of behavior you did in your previous post. I'm glad you acknowledge it.

Of course, I did not do what you state here, since I wasn't actually responding to anyone nor were there any "holes in my argument" since I didn't even make an argument being refuted. (I entered this thread here far down the chain of the discussion, if you actually read it.) But it's cool to see that if I had done something like accusing people of such things without any substantive retorts, you'd agree your behavior was the same kind of dodge.

I realize this isn't the main point but the uke is kind of famous for being beloved by famous guitarists. George Harrison had a lot to do with that. He supposedly would keep a bunch in his trunk. I believe he gave Tom Petty two to get him going; as Tom told it, George came back to give him the second one because "you never know."
Your example doesn't exactly compare that well. If Subway was one of 6 places you can get a sandwich (or any food at all) I think most people would not want Subway to ban them. That would be crazy.
Same. I'm on my sixth smartphone (if we're only counting post-iPhone). The author could be a tech reviewer who carries three phones around at a time to review them. Not sure if that counts as ownership, however I'm not the person to define that.
I have an Inspiron that differs from the same issue.
Worse is that it has an Nvidia Quadro that overheats the moment I put it on a flat surface.

The fan is loud, and it just won't go to sleep, so I end up always shutting down.

I rarely use it, and instead brought my own laptop to work. It's a shame because the Dell that I used at a previous employer also suffered from thermal and noise issues.
I was 27, living in the Southern USA with a MS from a State University, feeling very similar to you. I decided to push through my comfortable malaise and got offers at early Amazon AWS & Facebook back in 2009. It changed my life trajectory completely. I worked a little bit harder but got exponentially better payoff and interesting problems. Recommendations:

1. Getting into a more prestigious company is likely your next step. You only need to stay there 2-4 years but, since colleges are more corrupt, it's really the modern grad degree that proves your worth. FAANG or a reputable startup is your best option (LinkedIn Top 50 or Breakout List). The crazy hours you hear about are more self-imposed than you think, not mandatory.

2. If FAANG isn't calling you back, this means that you likely weren't even close on the interviews (Medium to Strong - No Hire). The interview algorithms are a heavily game-ified system and these companies expect you to study and game them so hard that answering the questions are second nature. I used to resent this, then I realized that it's actually a really good way to filter a large group of people with less class bias. If anyone can pass but they have to create their own 2-4 month gradual study plan to ace it, who is competent enough to pull that off? Often, in a larger org, you are encouraged to ignore your instincts and game-ify on arbitrary metrics to achieve larger-multistage company goals anyways. Adjusting my mindset this way helped me get the fortitude I needed to be better here.

3. Coding Competitions are another good way to get noticed by companies. The existing algo interviews started as NP-complete puzzles and Coding competitions and many people came to Facebook from that route (https://github.com/robertdimarco/puzzles/tree/master/faceboo...). Kaggle is the new equivalent for ML. It's a great time to get into ML via a non-traditional route and will likely turn into the existing algo interview frustration as it matures.
Germans wrote their own Grundgesetz, it only had to be approved by the Allies.

Are you possibly confusing Germany and Japan? Japanese constitution was mostly written by Americans, though with some review and input from the Japanese, and with a lot of respect to the previous Meiji constitution.
To add to this, the boy at 3 o'clock, whose head is split in two equal pieces, is the key to the sleight of hand.

Does his head stay or does it move?

If it moves, the boy at 2 o'clock should count as 2 heads in position B. If it stays, then he should count as 2 heads in position B, since the head below him moves up.

But because it's ambiguous, we count it as both moving and not moving.
I see they added another camera, should be 13 on there, one per year
Not LA County, but SFPD - I was hit by a car that ran a red while out for a run. Hard enough to knock me down but not break anything. I managed to remember half the guy's license plate before he drove away, so I called SFPD. An hour later two officers showed up to my house and took a report. They said someone would follow up. No one ever did.

A couple of weeks later there was a report of a hit and run on an SFPD officer. Very similar circumstances - he was not in uniform, he just happened to be a police officer who was hit by an inattentive driver. Hard enough to knock him down but not break anything. They caught the guy within a couple of hours.

Cops care about cops. If they can protect the citizens that they're supposed to, that's a nice little bonus, but given the choice between protecting other cops vs. non-cops, they'll always choose other cops.
I bought my previous smartphone 5 years ago. I would still use it, if it wasn't for very serious Android security issues which are not fixed due to support expiry (3 miserly years).

I don't perceive any difference with my new one, which is a newer generation. But maybe it's because I don't spend my life glued to a mobile phone.

I'm pretty sure though, that I would have been very happy to use it for other 5 years. Heck, I'd be happy even to use my very old Galaxy S3 (but not the S2 ;)), which unfortunately broke.
>At some point, the people in the apartment next door to me figured out my wi-fi password

That seems implausible.
That almost happened to me on an Asus, Windows waked it. I put it to sleep, put it in my backpack, left work, some hours later it was incredibly hot, lucky I saw it in time.
After that I started to use hibernate when leaving work.

But at home I would still notice the laptop on by itself in the morning, or the fan starting at 2am, at some point I was just furious, that the PC would not respect my settings. I disabled wake timers, updates, schedule tasks...

Now I keep all my Windows inside boxes ...virtual boxes
If leather is optional, then they are already building interiors without leather
Quality leather lasts forever, smells better, and is very comfortable. The downside is that it requires maintenance -- you do need to break it in, and it will form around your body. You also need to treat the leather every six months or so otherwise it may crack, and many don't do that. But if well maintained, it will last over a hundred years, much longer than the life of the car. And it will fit to your body like a glove and accumulate pleasing stains. The other downside is that it's not as quiet as cloth.

Most leather car seats are not made of quality leather, they are made of what can best be described as leather paste, bits of leather dust kept together by glue and pre-stained. The problem with this is that it doesn't last as long as actual full grain leather and degrades with sunlight. It is much cheaper though than full grain leather.

The modern vinyls used in the fake leather are softer than the earlier vinyls and also address the odor and cleaning problems with cloth, but they don't have the feel or durability of full grain leather. There is a real difference sitting on vinyl versus sitting on leather, even for the modern textured seats as in the latest BMWs with leatherettes (BMW has the highest quality fake leathers, but it's still the less popular option). They are also cheaper. Whether or not the leatherette seats last longer than the leather paste seats is primarily a function of the quality of the pastes/plastics/vinyls used in each. You can get expensive versions of both that should last longer but none will even begin to approach the longevity of full grain leather that is regularly cared for. You can find leather thousands of years old in museums -- there is a 5,500 year old leather shoe. Lather lasts forever and becomes softer and more pleasing with use. That is the appeal, but it's not for everyone. Like other consumer products, people want more disposable things that don't require maintenance or time to break in. The idea of buying something a bit tough and rigid that becomes more soft and supple over time is something most consumers don't want. Even when they buy leather, they want to buy the pre-stained leathers that are artificially stained rather than letting the leather naturally stain with age. Real leather is a truly old-fashioned material, made for the era when you bought one jacket and kept it for life, letting it change with your body. Or one belt for life that became more supply with time, something that you took care of and maintained.

The main thing cloth seats have going for them is that they are more quiet and cheaper to produce. In the very early days of the automobile, cloth seats were very expensive to produce relative to leather and so were the luxury option. Also the wealthy would reupholster their seats if they got stained or smelly. But that changed very quickly, and most still consider full grain leather seats to be the most luxurious option in terms of durability, odors, and feel, even if they are less practical than vynils or other materials that don't require treatment.
So it's your contention that the current traditional financial system "don't scale well (an understatement!)"?
If you have a developer account that you are willing to sacrifice and don't mind the possibility of legal action, you can try that. I've managed to upload the binary built from the source code from gamed exploit repository on GitHub to App Store Connect and installed it onto my own device via TestFlight. I didn't submit it for review, but if the functionality would have been concealed, it would easily pass.

As far as I know, how the review happens is that reviewers just install apps onto their iPads, tap through all the screens they can find and make their decisions based purely on that. So if an app connects to server and asks what it should do, it's possible to make an app behave differently for reviewers and all other users.
His shtick is to express a contrarian viewpoint on anything and everything. It was mostly harmless 40 years ago. Now it feeds into right wing trolldom and he's notably cozied up to his new core audience. I wouldn't value anything he does these days.
The joke here is that they advertise security.

This is their main claim atm.
We know that humans had boats by that point due to their presence in Australia and the current dominance of the coastal migration hypothesis. The problem is that our current understanding of the climate is that the coast was too ice-locked by glaciers for coastal foraging. If there's something this old, either they were doing some very impressive and unexpectedly long distance nautical journeys, or there are gaps in the details of our paleoclimate models.

It's not that either is impossible or even improbable, it's just that it forces us to revisit everything again to try and work out the routes if these (and other similarly early dates that have been proposed in the last couple years) hold up under review.
But VPN A has to relay the request for facebook.com to VPN B, meaning that VPN A has to be aware of the user's final destination. If my interpretation of this is incorrect, then how does VPN B become aware of the request for facebook.com?
Maybe. All approaches can be tried, that's part of the fun. I'm just saying that the best algorithm we know of for solving games in general requires a model, and so if a model is made available to everyone it will save people some work.
My first thought was, "3 hours of driving; really? That's it? Then why am I on the fence about buying $LATEST?" I really did think it would have been a higher number.

> Mods didn't detect your satirism when you spoke of a golden age of domestic terror.

I'd agree the positive connotations are a juxtaposition but everything else fits the descriptor.

Based on experience, I'd guess the downvotes are from folks who advocate a mindset that we live in a dangerous time of imminent terrorism - one that demands endless heightened awareness.

In contrast, I found that historical US domestic terror stats show that since ~1975 we have been about as safe as is possible. I suggest we math-up and embrace our ongoing safety.

Where is the nuance? It opens by mocking politicians for blaming the fires on climate change, then it spend the rest of the video explaining that forest management is the cause of these large fires. Facebook's brief version is an excellent summary of his video's content. What is this nuance that it has left out?
Let's see:

"Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that"

"investment fraud" - "induces investors to make purchase or sale decisions on the basis of false information"

Major cryptocurrencies do not present "false information", therefore they are not "investment fraud", therefore they are not Ponzi schemes.

Yeah I wish YC or someone could provide some anonymized data on this across companies. And it's true that out of all startups, only probably 1% make it big. But the markets are growing fast and just this year there has been ~200 IPO which I think mostly are $1B+.

From a tax perspective, RSU are probably worst. They are taxed on your W-2, effectively a bonus. If you make a lot, you pay max bracket federally and in your state. In California I think it can be ~54%.

Joining seed/pre-seed company that hasn't done a priced round likely is the best. Employees get to buy shares, not options, at the nominal price, often $0.0001 per share. There is no taxes as there is no gain. After a year those turn in to long term shares, and you can hold them forever without paying any taxes. When the company is public, you can borrow money against it so you don't have to sell. If you sell, you pay long term capital gains, and if QSBS still exists and you hold the shares for 5 years, you have $10M tax free federal credit.

With options, it depends on the timing and the cost to exercise. Joining early, and exercising options early, is usually also good since now you own the shares and only had to pay the fair market value which is 20% of the investor valuation. Again now you can hold the shares forever, get QSBS or pay long term capital gains when you eventually sell.

If you join late, likely you should still exercise if you can/want to. If you don't exercise early, then you might have to pay taxes on the gains of the fair market value from the time you were granted the options and the time you exercised. Or you could just hold the options if the company allows. Then after the company is public you can just exercise and sell, and pay the short term capital gains similar to RSU.
I encourage you to test this theory at your earliest convenience.
