Well, the problem with using file names/URLs for unique identifiers is that they might change. So either you don't do that or you need some piece of software to update this. With a note title (and thus file name) of "[2020091149] Conversation about Note Taking on HN", I can just reference the part within brackets, and it also gives me the timestamp if the file metadata ever gets lost in sync.

But yeah, I don't have that many cross references now, this is one part where I'm looking for better solutions that don't depend on too much technology. Thus my Zettelkasten research. Probably will implement a lot of this with scripts and shortcuts (I'm quite fond of tools like Textexpander/atext for this).
Pretty much. I didn't copy and paste the quote, but those are the words used.

You and I understand what you just wrote about GDP in relation to Hong Kong and London, but a vast majority of the population is severely limited in the way they consume information. Internet is widespread, but it is severely underutilized for any useful purpose, and the Serbian web scene is also flooded with pro-government portals. Also, a great deal of population (I can't say how much, but just empirically) has little exposure to any kind of western lifestyle, the only foreign countries they might visited would be Bulgaria or Greece on holidays. It's easy to convince people that life is good in Serbia. Especially because the government doesn't use Hong Kong or Austria to compare, but Croatia or Albania.

I agree, you're going to get downvoted but it's just true. This _is_ why people use MacBooks. It just isn't the same experience in other cases, especially now with the extreme quietness and performance of M1, but even before the standby behaviour was extremely reliable.
>Does the population of Serbia actually buy into that sort of rhetoric?

By and large, yes. Serbia has an aging population and especially older people (who constitute a large part of the current regime's voter base) are susceptible to this narrative of foreign powers trying to keep Serbia down. It's a tried and true authoritarian spin, persisting for decades in these areas. It doesn't help that historically, foreign powers were prone to aggressing against Serbia.

Younger people obviously don't fall for this (better informed, Internet-native), but they're more apathetic than anything. One cause for this is a lack of good alternative political options; the opposition is mainly people who've been in power before and were just not much better than what we have now.

If you could rally people behind an uncompromised, clean-slate political option you'd break the apathy, a critical mass of voters would emerge quickly and I believe Vucic and his cronies would fall in a heartbeat. But sadly nothing of the sort exists.

I have a 64 GB Mac with SSD and managed to trick it to use true hibernation (Apple does not want you to know it but you can still achieve true hibernation by enabling disk encryption (FileVault™) and forcing key material erasure from MEM on standby with `sudo pmset -a DestroyFVKeyOnStandBy 1`). I just timed it and bootup from hibernation to UI took 25 seconds, out of which maybe 5 seconds were taken by inputtting the encryption password.

Certainly not a show-stopper, if this means not accidentally killing my €2k+ laptop because it decides to randomly wake up in my bag.
> Besides starting up fast, another important value standby modes add is freeing you from having to open, position and initialize (open the documents/locations in them) all your apps manually every time. But this seems trivial to be reached by adding functions to just save the list of opened apps, their windows positions and the actual documents which were opened in them. This will require some coordinated effort from both the OS and the apps developers though.

I just gave up on OS and app developers and implemented a half-assed solution myself using scripts. It works mainly because my setup is fairly fixed so I just fire everything up and fix any differences manually if needed.

My father is getting up there now, and lived surrounded by older people for a while.

He kept saying "whenever an elderly person starts sitting down in a wheelchair for the first time, they're not getting back up".

Even just breaking a bone and sitting down for a few weeks just completely shatters the patterns of regular movement, and the patients just end up becoming more and more sedentary, then getting more issues due to that, and it spirals out of control.

(Anecdotal, obviously.)
Data collection is standard procedure as well. Most ISP's keeps a record of every website you visit, most net providers keeps a record of all locations your phone has visited etc. Only difference is that most companies just sells these to some data broker like Equifax or similar while Google uses it for their own purposes.
Amazon and other retailers are free to not sell products if they don’t want to. Entirely up to them. The relationship between booking sites and hotels is vastly different to Apple and app developers.

I doubt Apple would have had a problem with developers noting the 15/30% store fee if it wasn’t being done for such obviously disingenuous purposes. It’s all well and good to argue the reasonableness of such allowances in theory, but here, context is everything.

I think it's the phrases 'some coordination' and 'company the size of Apple'. It's rarely the case (well, hopefully?!) that a fix is as trivial as 'oh yeah, oops, let's delete that `leak_data()` line' - it's going to involve multiple teams and they're all going to think anything from 'nothing to do with us' to 'hm yes I can see how that happened, but what we're doing in our piece of the pie is correct/needs to be so, this will need to be handled by the [other] team'.

Not to say that people 'pass the buck' or are not taking responsibility exactly, just that teams can be insular, and they're all going to view it from the perspective of their side of the 'API', and not find a problem. (Of course with a strict actual API that couldn't be the case, but I use it here only loosely or analogously.) Someone has to coordinate them all, and ultimately probably work out (or decide somewhat arbitrarily - at least in technical terms, but perhaps on the basis of cost or complexity or politics or cetera) whose problem to make it.

Did they change the meaning of "hibernate"? Showing it in the "power" menu has also been disabled, though you can assign it to the power button and then press the button.
It's funny how the competition tries to copy the success of the Macbook line but fails on such an elementar design. I really wish they would succeed and make laptops not made by Apple suck less.
My Toshiba Libretto seems to have it built into the BIOS. The computer displays a full-screen animation of the Laptop dumping its system memory to disk, and after a few seconds it powers down. Its all very seamless and jank free.

Dell has always been a mid-to-trash brand but this is hilariously awful
It was frustrating how my Dell XPS Laptop would frequently wake up in the laptop bag. When I open the bag, the laptop was near smoking hot. I fixed it by disabling Modern Standby but a Microsoft update killed that registry hack and I was forced to fully shut down the laptop.

Then my work Dell Precision 5530 started doing the same thing and I'm forced to shut it down. The problem was that particular laptop took several minutes to boot due to a slow BIOS post and corporate bloatware.
My wife and my favorite charity is the Heffer Project that sets families up with, for example, a breeding group of chickens to make money selling eggs and a protein source for their families. Similar projects with larger animals.

A friend and his wife used to (my friend died in a traffic accident) collect money and once a year make a huge buy of practical farming tools, appropriate types of seeds, etc., charter a cargo flight, and deliver to somewhere where their research showed a need and where they were able to make local contacts.

So, I totally understand your point but there are options.
If the SF71 was like many other military aircraft, then it could be flown far beyond the long-life envelope. Overclocked, if you will, getting extreme performance for an hour at a cost of years' wear on the engine and body. You can see how this approach might make sense for an SR-71 where one might sensibly want to sacrifice the aircraft to get some pictures out. You can also see how this complicates defining "top speed".
You’re not really supposed to bring a phone that close to your skin, otherwise you might exceed safe radiation levels.

I have some doubt with respect to whether what author claims is "medical data" is indeed medical. Practically speaking, the data he mentions seems like the things collected by Apple Watch and stored in the Health app. There is indeed heart rate tracking, but can we really label this data as medical? IMHO "medical" would relate more to professional diagnosis, treatment etc. which according to Apple is stored in an encrypted form [1]. Garmin devices also collect heart rate, sleep stats etc. and I have never thought of these as medical (health-related yes, but not medical). The line is thin though.

Since you work in the industry, perhaps you could share your opinion how such data should be treated?

Intellectual property is a total mess.

IP has tumbled, stumbled and bumbled to its current state by way of haphazard precedents and half assed legislation. To the extent that it's intentionally tweaked (designed is too strong a word), it's adapted to protect high value industry or companies. What we're left with makes no sense.

Concepts like freedom of expression, the public domain, rights of artists and such have a part in IP's history, and rhetoric... but I can't think of any legislation, reform or regulatory/enforcement actions that actually set out to defend these.

I don't know if there's a one paragraph solution, but IP is central to a lot of centralisation phenomenon one way or another. The economic and legal dynamics of copyright, for example, centralize control over music revenues and often discovery. That's spotify now. It was record companies at one point. The first step in any commercial music endeavor, before a single note is played, is to separate artists from control and ownership of the music.

What the hell is the public benefit of giving social media sites these rights over content? If we accept T&C click throughs as valid contracts, the whole concept of determining content usage rights by agreement is absurd in practice.
I have given it a thought, but it doesn't make sense to me:

Nobody wanted to target a well paid dev with small kids and holiday plans except the cheapest of the cheap?

The explanations I find more likely is either

- my account got grouped up with a demographic 14 years ago when I worked in an environment that certainly did have those kinds of signals and that signal was too strong.

- scammy dating sites like expensive credit cards pay extremely well and Googled fudged their data to make me fit the criteria.

It's also Macs.

Computers are complicated, some things are probably released with a tight schedule, things are not formally verified, and therefore have bugs. Hardware or software. It's sad but we have to deal with it.

Sleep has been working well on Linux on the machines I've been using for the past years (especially after removing a defective RAM stick from one of them - and the computer is built in such a way I could do it myself easily!). But yes, once or twice, the computer won't go to sleep because I'm running updates (that I launched manually, mind you), or some other shit.

I've taken the habit of checking that the computer actually went to sleep before putting it in a bag and you should, too, for the one time your Mac won't go to sleep because who knows why.

My wife had a similar problem with her XPS-15. Randomly during the night the laptop would warm up and cause the fans to spin up. Apparently this is caused by windows waking up. Initially I thought it was windows deciding to do an update, but even disabling that (if it is possible at all), the laptop would wakeup. Random trailing through the internet pointed to the useless Killer network drivers, or better the management application, to be the cause and uninstalling them was supposed to fix the issue. Anecdotally it seemed to have worked, but when I last checked the drivers seemed to be back.
