But they said "didn't recognize the number", not "missed all calls and texts". I'm from Europe so I don't know how prevalent robocalls are; this story really sounds crazy to me. Sure, everybody has different life circumstances, etc. Maybe this guy was somewhat of a maverick. He said he didn't feel that lost and tried to get back on their own. But I still can't fathom how it never crossed his mind that someone might be looking for them, unless, as initially said, you get a dozen robocalls every day and this amount of calls and texts wasn't out of the ordinary to him.
The article suggests they did text
Or, given that he was going for a hike, he might have powered down the phone to conserve battery power. And if so, he did not "ignore" the calls, but rather he never received them in the first place.
You don't seem to have much interest in answering the crux of my point, which is the continual asking of why until you get to the true reasons why things are the case. Instead, you've just given another high level example.

To be honest I'm not even sure how this new example relates at all. You're simply saying that people can do bad things, which I guess is true, though I don't see how that supports your argument. I don't think anyone was suggesting people have no agency, and can't possibly make any changes in their life, the suggestion is they don't have complete agency, and their life will always be governed by factors beyond their control. Taking your point, yeh, people can be assholes, but why? "Just because" isn't a proper answer, and if it is the same can be used to dispel your argument just as easily.

> notice how you are seeing them as that, not me

Hmmmm, not quite. Your whole argument rests on people refusing to make changes in their life for no apparent reason, and these are typically the words used. You didn't use them yourself, no, but I think it can be quite easily inferred, not least by the fact you called another commenter a coward. Again, following my argument, ask yourself why I thought you would think of them in those terms.

> That actually solves the problem.

Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. I suspect you're right in part, but things tend to be more complicated. Either way, thats not my point. My point is asking why they don't do their part, for example.

> Though some flying-car makers say their aircraft will fly without pilots, most experts believe regulators are unlikely to approve autonomous flight until the end of the decade at the earliest.

No problem. All you need for scheduled air service in the US is a Part 121 or Part 135 certificate. :)

For those who don't know what the joke is, those just doubled the operating cost, and made you one of the most regulated companies on the planet.

Netjets, etc. is able to operate under Part 91k because they're on-demand for owner-passengers, not "holding out to the public" scheduled flights. And the FAA begrudges them even that, so now they operating partially under Part 135.
>I believe it's quite unusual to die from an overdose; my understanding is that nearly all "OD" deaths are not poisonings, but the consequence of inhaling your own vomit.

This is probably true but it's true of most anything. People rarely die of stabbings and gunshots but the blood loss, shock, and organ failure they cause.

The article says that they did text, as well as leave voicemail.
In Italy, rifle-armed personnel of the Army are used to guard areas at risk of terrorist attacks, e.g. train stations and other crowded areas. AFAIK they never had to intervene; I think their purpose is mostly deterrence.

In Italy there is a civil police force and a military one (named Carabinieri) and both of them carry guns. However, only when they have to raid the homes of high-risk people, e.g. mafia criminals or terrorists, SWAT-like units (named NOCS the police unit and GIS the Carabinieri unit) are deployed.
That’s the judgement call to make and sometimes I don’t ask but assume when (i) it’s easy to change later, in other words a 2 way door (ii) asking will cause meetings, scheduling challenges (need to get everyone in the room!) and delay work and (iii) the people I’m asking might bike shed it taking up lots of their time and mine.

Yes well there you go - if you keep putting your boot on the face of the person trying to help you, don't be surprised if people stop trying to help you. I find myself surprisingly in favor of the FBI's actions - good! Attack and destroy researchers and journalists that share their findings in a responsible way! Force it all underground, keep them silent, keep systems from failing a test, keep them from improving, and so let them rot, from the inside, until another presumably healthier system replaces it from the outside.

The rackmount Mac Pro isn't really a server, it's just a Mac Pro in a rack mountable enclosure. It's 4U and kind of poorly laid out for a server. It helps if you need 10 or 20 or a 100 Mac Pros specifically and have to position them in an efficient manner but a proper server would be no more than 2U with a very compact layout and little wasted space inside so you can pack a rack as densely as possible.
I'm not sure that market is so much smaller. The "recreational" market includes anyone who couldn't afford to publicly admit their use, including for instance single parents who use amphetamines to try to have energy to do necessary things after a full day's work at the meatpacking plant.
While there’s plenty of “told you so” -> “no you didn’t” being flung around here quite childishly, my read on this is:

Apple surprised people by what these actually turned out to be.

They’re better than folk expected.

We’ll have to wait and see how that plays out in the long run, but I don’t really think it’s something to get worked up over.

Yay, new cpus that don’t suck on a laptop that doesn’t suck.

The "outsourcing" metaphor is mostly true but misses something important which is compulsion. Outsourcing implies a voluntary relationship, whereas a court order combined with an implicit threat of trouble if they don't follow, isn't.

Yup, did that tonight. The test is finished now and it found zero errors. The test took 7 hours and 56 minutes to run. I used a bootable USB stick with MemTest86 v9.3 Free to test it.
Apple's risky behavior has brought both failures and huge successes.

They were the first to remove serial ports, floppy disks, internal modems, optical drives... And it turned out good even if you could say that's not what the people wanted.

The touch bar, magsafe removal, etc.. were failures alright, I bet the notch won't be a failure, however
Why?

I think the better approach is to take steps to stop the centralisation of power. Breaking up the mass media corporations, regulating ownership of media, introducing proportional representation and more direct democracy, abolishing the domestic intelligence services, etc.

Trying to ban technology just because it _could_ be used for bad things seems as misguided as it is ineffective. The security agencies and authoritarian governments can just ignore those agreements anyway.
I think the definition you refer to in [1] is apt.

"Things that exist or are used or enjoyed for only a short time."

They are used or enjoyed for a short time because the cost or burden of doing so is extremely low. They are cheap, easily accessible, transportable, convenient, disposable. These are the attributes that make them ephemera, and that Fuller saw as ephemeralizing things.
I've used watermelondb and found it quite nice to use. I mainly chose it because it has observable queries. I can live without conflict resolution and transactions on the client side because it's an electron app. Having a sqlite backend (via the electron process) would overcome some of the shortcoming wrt to the in memory database (and still allow in memory via sqlite if speed is desired). I wrote a backend sync for it which was quite easy although I haven't fully implemented support for everything because I don't need it (notably deletes).

I do all my development on a local machine. I have yet to find a virtual environment that is faster, with lower latency than a good desktop with multiple screens. Even the best internet connection is slower than a local machine. Most virtual environments are effectively sharing a single hardware resource amongst multiple users. None of that is an advantage in my view.
In what sense is Sweden infinitely more progressive? Is it the privatized retirement accounts, for-profit privatized schooling, privatized police forces, privatized public transit, privatized welfare, or having the most billionaires per capita?

Sweden is a social democracy that has generous welfare benefits, which are funded primarily via sales taxes (VAT) of 25%[2] and "high, but flat" income taxes[3] that are much less progressive than in the U.S., and much lower corporate tax rates than in the U.S.

It is also a country that respects private property and has a mania for privatizing everything under the sun. It's the home of enormous global corporate empires like Ikea, Volvo (trucks, the cars were sold off), H&M, Atlas Copco, Ericcson, Spotify, etc.

Sweden is the only country I know where private for profit schools compete for public school dollars, and for profit private companies are allowed to run welfare programs. Sweden has famously been called a "capitalist welfare state".[1]

I was a big Rails, Ruby and dynamic typing fanboy. But then my project grew in size and I changed my beliefs.

I'd not start a big project in any language without: null-safety, proper sum-types, type inference.

Hence I like Kotlin, and KTor seems to be a good Sinatra/Flask like in that arena.

Another interesting development I find no-code/low-code tools for the backend, like Hasura. This allows me to "just expose Postgres over GraphQL" with very little code (mainly configuration). That combined with type-safe client library generation for a typesafe frontend language like Elm gives me all the power I need in a very different paradigm. Something worth considering.

Small example Hasura+Elm project: https://github.com/cies/low-code-backend-dockered
The new all electrics from all the big auto companies are pretty good. As long as they do well enough to keep producing them, it will be incremental improvement year after year. I think Tesla has a good lead, but there is not going to be much value difference in a car that can go 600 miles on a single charge vs 300 miles. Or 0-60 even faster than 2.5 seconds. Once the big makers get within spitting distance of a Tesla EV (and I think they already are there). They will be able to really start eating into that market as their ICE market starts to fade.

I see. I had a hard (physically manifested) depression episode recently and had to pull myself by hair and stubborness out of it, so your viewpoint seems valid for the ones who do. But it’s not what society feels. Your anger towards “yourselfness” does a good job, but I guess you’ve been helped, at least instructed on some details. That kid may not have had such privilege, spiralling down on his own (you can’t be strong if you don’t realize that you’re vulnerable, if it doesn’t click as “I allow it to happen”). And one can OD by chance while not being anywhere near the end of that slippery slope.

I got this from Buddhism (I have renounced Buddhism, but I've retained some of the insights). The world is intrinsically fucked-up, and not fixable. You can sometimes fix some things, but in the end the world is an incorrigible mess (samsara).

It's quite a relief once you take that on board. You can go on raging against injustice, war, and political cynicism, and so you should; but there's no need to feel inadequate because you don't know how to fix it.

We do hold them accountable ... by using Apple :( It's not like Linux or Windows upgrades are drastically smoother. In fact right now I have a Windows VM that tells me "This PC doesn't meet the requirements to upgrade to Windows 11" in the upgrade screen, and their health check app tells me "This PC meets the requirements". Probably something got cached somewhere, as I had to add a virtual TPM just now. But still. This kind of experience is routine, with Windows. Like, why is the health check app not built in? Why is there a separate tool to begin with? Why doesn't it use their latest app packaging and distribution system instead of a sucky old MSI file? It constantly feels like there's nobody at the head of the ship with Windows.

A lot of people don't know what privacy is. They use the argument 'I have nothing to hide'.
But that is not what privacy is about. Privacy is your ability to control what others know about you.

A lock on a toilet does this. The ability to hide your IP address does this.

The security arguments are dubious at best. Seems more closer to direct vendor/platform lock-in.

Games like Valorant now require a TPM 2.0 chip to run. Why? It's a videogame? Why does it need to be locked down to Windows only. How long before all sorts of software get vendor locked in like this? Same kind of bs that happens on Android, safetynet and root. How is this not a ratchet for vendor control?

Also screw security if it means planned obsolescence. Microsoft has basically declared that every machine before 8th gen Intel and Zen 2 as obsolete in 5 years time. Why? Those machines are perfectly usable and fast.
Worse, by taking this position Tor has no idea what privacy is. Privacy is not anonymity.

Anonymity is the right to remain hidden independently of your communications. Privacy is the right to prevent disclosure.

If third parties can access your correspondence you have no privacy regardless of your anonymity. If anybody can assert your identity you have no anonymity regardless of your correspondence, if any.

The inability to separately define these terms sacrifices them both.

The Italian Carabinieri are a gendarmerie – a military police force with civilian policing functions – such as the French National Gendarmerie (whose name is also used as the standard English word for this type of police force), the Spanish Guardia Civil, etc.

Military police in English-speaking countries usually only have jurisdiction over military installations and military personnel; they do not perform civilian policing functions except in exceptional situations such as wartime or national emergencies. By contrast, gendarmerie are military police who perform civilian policing functions in normal circumstances.

There isn't necessarily a huge difference in practice between gendarmeries and ordinary civilian police forces; gendarmeries tend to have tougher recruitment standards, a more disciplined ethos, be more heavily armed, their members will have received military basic training which covers skill areas which most civilian police training does not, etc. However, even in countries with gendarmeries, the civilian police often have elite units which are on par with those of the gendarmerie; and, in France, much of the gendarmerie are assigned to policing small towns and rural areas which is often less challenging work than that of the civilian police in the big cities.

They used to, in Australia at least. I can't remember if it came with my iBook G4 or one of the Intels soon afterward, but out of the box I got both a two-prong stub that attaches directly to the brick and a ~1.5m cable that goes to a three-prong plug. I sold the original laptop long ago but kept the old grounded cable all the way up to my current work MBP. Personally the buzzing drives me nuts.

The first time I noticed it I was a bit worried about it all. I had a volt stick from work (a safety device to identify live wiring) and surprisingly it illuminated when I brought it near the metal chassis of my macbook. Some further tests with an oscilloscope showed that it was floating a good couple of hundred volts, but the capacitance was so low that the energy payload was never going to do any harm to a human. I don't care, I still just ground the thing.
