I agree that they should be subject to whatever consumer protection laws are in place for the regions in which they operate; I disagree however that they should be viewed as utilities for the purpose of legislation. I’m unconvinced that access to those libraries of movies, music or photo storage could be considered along the same lines as electricity or running water.

I’d agree that there’s too tight a coupling between account access and access to purchased media, but it’s unclear that government intervention is needed to mitigate that. At the very least it’d be useful to know the frequency at which this kind of thing happens before making a judgment call on it.
That’s not at all accurate. Blaming yourself for having depression is like blaming yourself for having epilepsy. It’s not your “fault”.

It’s important to note that while you might be taking meds, but you might not be taking the right meds, in the right amount.

It took me a while to find the right combination for me. This is very, very common. Everyone is different. People react differently to different antidepressants. Finding the right med(s) is a process. It sucks but it’s worth it. You are worth it.
No that logic is completely wrong because covid-19, and especially Delta, transmits during the asymptomatic phase, so logically there is no inherent advantage in becoming less lethal if the lethality is independent from the transmission.
Whoever is asserting that covid-19 WILL become less lethal is simply spreading misinformation.
Cloud Service Provider security mistakes
Sure, you can plug a hard drive into a computer. But....

What about when that hard drive fails and you lose all of your data? Do you have backups? Do the backups _work_? Do you regularly check the health of the hard drive? What if you want to access the system from outside of your LAN? If it's accessible to the web, are you handling security yourself? How often are you applying patches? Kernel patches? What if you go on vacation and there's a power outage and you can't remotely turn everything back on?

No, but I also have never seen a self-professed christian come out to call those folks out. I was raised christian and one of our new pastors was forced out because he was gay, and some of the charities our denomination supported got canned because they also ministered to gay people.

I don't think it's at all weird to point out that christians have a long and robust anti-gay streak going for them, and that's just one type of intolerance.

My advice is to sit yourself down and try to write about some of the things that you are thankful for. If you can sit down and make the post that you just did telling us all about how you feel, you also have the ability to try sitting down and finding a few things that you are thankful for. Maybe just start it out as a little practice a few times. No pressure. Start writing and just let it flow for a little bit but try to focus on some of the things that you feel like you might be thankful for. Even if it's the silliest things. I bet you can find a few things that you are thankful for... It may sound corny and to be honest, it's truly an obvious ploy to trick your mind away from feeling the way you wrote about into finding the foundation of at least something that you like and feel good about even if it's just in this moment. Perhaps maybe there's something that you can focus on that does make you feel good. Start there. You might even find some things that you are passionate about.
If you're not already, I also recommend getting some fresh air and exercise. Even if it's just going for a walk.
I don't know, but have you considered taking some of your time to contribute somewhere helping others, either humans, animals, or nature around you? There are even things like the Rewilding movement where you don't really need to interact with anyone in person, and you can make a very tangible meaningful change, at your own pace.

In California at least it's actually tortious to offer certain illegal contracts of adhesion. That right is rarely exercised, but you do in fact have standing to sue simply because you were asked to sign a contract with clauses that oppose California public policy.
Another logical fallacy here.

Fun fact: despite the fact that China has (had?) the One Child Policy and Singapore didn't, Singapore's fertility rate is around 1.14 vs 1.7 for China (2019 figures, since I'm guessing the Pandemic years are outliers). Singapore is much closer to One Child in practice.

Singapore needs constant immigration to stop its population from dropping like a rock. This is good for their economy since they've effectively outsourced many of the costs of raising children to other nations. But I don't know if I'd want to live in a place where raising kids is that difficult.

I get it. I self host everything. I'm simplifying, but I'm not naive about it.

The problems you say, connection/power downtime are the biggest ones. And they're frustrating, but not near as frustrating as things you paid for going missing, forever.

My point though is, if we can get workstations out of the box ready, we can get home servers out of the box ready. The software already exists, the hardware already exists. The problem is not that people don't want it, that they're lazy, that the tools don't exist, the problem is that mobile devices are deliberately built to herd people to these services. Once they're hooked they're hooked. They're fundamentally disempowering.
I checked this, the logic is as follows. The following suffixes are mapped to the equivalent driver flags:

{"clang", nullptr}
{"clang++", "--driver-mode=g++"}
{"clang-c++", "--driver-mode=g++"}
{"clang-cc", nullptr}
{"clang-cpp", "--driver-mode=cpp"}
{"clang-g++", "--driver-mode=g++"}
{"clang-gcc", nullptr}
{"clang-cl", "--driver-mode=cl"}
{"cc", nullptr}
{"cpp", "--driver-mode=cpp"}
{"cl", "--driver-mode=cl"}
{"++", "--driver-mode=g++"}
{"flang", "--driver-mode=flang"}

`clang++-x` matches none of these. Then the same logic is applied to the name with any of "0123456789." trimmed from the right. Still no match. Then the trailing `-component` is stripped, and `clang++` matches.

It works by chance...

I think it's wonderful this show is happening, and I'm an atheist. It's also wonderful to see, on this techie platform, people aren't afraid to call themselves a "believing Christian."

I'm going to check The Chosen out. The bulk of Christian movies or Old Testament bible stories are unwatchable, as a lot of people have noted.

I went to Israel four years ago [1], and there was something really special about actually seeing the Jordan, the Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, the sites of the loaves and fishes, and the Sermon on the Mount. Places I grew up hearing about. (Yes, I know those last two are only the conventionally believed sites, and no one knows for sure.) I've gotten really interested in the rise of Christianity since going there.

Swimming in the Dead Sea was worth doing once. You come out feeling all oily and you have to take a shower. But you can float on your back and raise both arms up in the air, and you don't sink. Getting lost in the Old City and having to ask directions was fun, too. Google Maps was no help.

By the way, I think the best genetic estimate of what Jesus looked like is: what people in Syria and Lebanon look like now. Darker skin than, say, Swedes, but not black.

The overlay of Singapore over the map of Bay Area is striking. I have visited the island nation but would not have guessed that its geographic area is so compact.

As another measure of size Singapore’s population was 5.45 million as of June 2021. [1]

I wonder if one alternate approach could perhaps be to do image segmentation on the original image, decide what segments are important enough to be preserved, and then, using other techniques to do the downscaling and color choosing, but while enforcing an additional constraint of sufficient contrast between the downscaled versions of the different segments?
Like, if some detail would, if scaled down proportionally with everything else would become too small to make out, but where by making it a bit bigger than it should be would remain both recognizable, while still fitting ok within whatever larger thing?

E.g. converting lips into a row of pixels when necessary. Similarly with eyes.

I'll assume from your tone that you're not an Apple user?

Like it or not, being signed in everywhere with iCloud is an amazing experience. I know this because I recently tried a second user account on my Mac that wasn't signed in to my iCloud account. It was jarring.

As an Apple user I take it for granted that my watch unlocks my computer. That text copied to the clipboard on any device is immediately, invisibly available on the others. That all of my contacts and messages are just there. That my Safari history and state synchronises.

You can't 'selfhost' this stuff. You may not like Apple -- I'm not trying to convince you -- but the fact is that there are a ton of benefits that their integrated ecosystem delivers that you just can't emulate yourself.
It's not about the code, it's always been about the data over spacetime. You have a data problem, not a code problem.

Interesting. How about these:

- your sleep (how deep) and meal quality (how healthy)

- your sleep and meal patterns (what hours, how consistent)

- your personal hygiene (haircut, shaving, cutting of nails)

- your presence (punctuality, quality of clothing, how you dress)

- frequency of physical activity (sports, exercise, do you still get sunlight)

- frequency of you spending time with your family, friends, lovers, and pets
Every company (Apple, Google, Amazon, etc) is guilty of pulling this non-sense on customers. It is too easy for them to wipe out thousands of dollars of value with no meaningful explanation (read the Terms and Services and go away? seriously Apple?) and no accountability.

IMO, states should enact laws where you can take the company to court in your local county and no contract can override that right. If the termination is found justified, the company must refund all account assets at fair market value and any remaining balance. If it was not justified, the company must reinstate the account, pay all court and legal fees, and a reasonable amount of mandatory punitive damages.

Also, I don't get why Apple et al pull these stunts anyways. They already have a huge "regulate me" post it on their back.
Most large open source projects would not exist if not for the companies that created/sponsored them. MediaWiki is funded by Wikipedia, Jupyter is funded by Microsoft and Google, Kubernetes is from Google, etc. I get sick of hearing open source being falsely proclaimed as an example of the virtues of social systems when it is usually the direct product of capitalism.
I also recommend going to bed and getting up earlier: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/05/210528114107.h...

I'd also suggest try cutting out all caffeine and stimulants (if you take any). For me, the transition took several months and caused a bit of irritability, but getting through it changed my life. No more crashes, no more anxiety, no more headaches, and now I sleep easy.

Funny that you talk about statistics, data, logic, when there's heaps of empirical data about racist outcomes in American society.

I read this whole thread and your responses remind me of myself earlier this year. I dont have anything new to add, but I would like to repeat what others have said that worked for me: see a therapist, change up your environment, and come up with some long term goals. Seeing a therapist helped me identify cognitive distortions (look it up) that were problematic for me. Therapist taught me how to identify negative thoughts and behaviors through various journaling methods. Turns out negative thoughts and behaviors lead to negative emotions. I was also fortunate enough to be able to crash at my parents for a month. The change in environment was monumental in helping me break out of the negative spiral. It also helped me realize how much I love my family and gave me a long term goal to help my parents finish paying off their house. That goal drives me every day to work hard on my career and my health so that I'm around to see it achieved. I think most people see children the same way. I talked to my dad a lot about life during that month and he confirmed that was the case for him. Which is impressive considering he grew up poor, one of 12 kids, to an alcoholic father and uneducated mother in Mexico. Personally, kids arent for me, but it just highlights the human need for purpose, whatever that may be. I hope you find some meaning for your life, it's hard. Really hard. But it gets easier, just gotta keep at it :)
Not all debit cards are linked to a bank account, some are just top-up cards (like this one – I wrote "online bank" for brevity).

Yes. It should be illegal to lock someone out of their account with no explanation nor recourse. A company is free to lock you out, but you should have a right, even legal, to ask them to have a human review the case and explain in text why and what happened.

We have become so helpless that AI/ML takes decisions for us. We have put those AI in place, yet we behave as it they have taken over the world and once they have deemed you in the wrong, there's nothing you can do.

Why are we tech people not protesting over this? Everybody is quick to take Apple's side in this thread, or Amazon or Google in others. I don't get it.
Nature, rendering a service to others, whatever your understanding of service is, and art are the only substances I know of that are powerful enough and work at a basic enough level to console the despondent. Think about what this excludes. It excludes the pursuit of money. It excludes accolades. It excludes interminable self-analysis. If you seem to find a high functioning service, like contributions to open source projects, or a startup, purposeless, try offering the most basic types of service. Give the hungry food. Give the naked clothing. When you speak with someone next, do not merely interact in a way that leads expressly to your purpose and the conclusion of the encounter, but rather take their present experience into consideration and say something they will remember because it comes from a place of care. Offer care and you will find yourself fluent in the language of caring.
While true that economies in their various forms can form unsympathetic relationships between producers and consumers, it seems that, broadly speaking, producers who align more strongly with consumer satisfaction tend to ‘win’ and those who broadly speaking don’t tend to ‘lose’ on a long-term basis.

To their credit, Apple seems to get this mostly right.
When my mother's eye sight started declining she began sitting with closed eyes in direct early morning sunlight and claimed it helped her significantly, seems like science is finally catching up to folk medicine.

>With a paucity of affordable deep red-light eye-therapies available, Professor Jeffery has been working for no commercial gain with Planet Lighting UK, a small company in Wales and others, with the aim of producing 670nm infra-red eyewear at an affordable cost, in contrast to some other LED devices designed to improve vision available in the US for over $20,000.

Seems like the free therapy of sunlight is a better alternative to all the proposed commercial offerings, especially when considering patient compliance. Asking people to drink their morning coffee while outside is much more attainable than making them wear a headset with LEDs.

Please give me the winning numbers for Euromillions since apparently you can see the future and you absolutely know that everyone is going to get covid.
That's the thing, the paid apps, music, movies, etc. are actually just licenses. And, although I didn't read the contract myself, I'm pretty sure the Terms and Services all users agreed to during the purchase of said license (or even just during account sign-up) stipulates that the company reserves the right to revoke any license purchased for any reason, etc.

Though I do like your way of thinking. Potentially, if there really is a violation (which there was not in this case, but just an example), then, in theory, the company can implement a system that allows users to still access the content, but remove interactions (e.g. in the case of fraud, remove the ability to transact, etc.). Of course, this requires resources to implement and maintain, so it's unlikely to happen.
That might be what they labeled it as, but it really was to prevent companies from buying the cheaper GPU for AI training.

They need their datacenter GPU numbers to look good at the end of the Q, they can't do that when all they are selling are 3090 that are perfectly fine to train the majority of AI models.

> So I no longer recognize ‘open source developer’ as part of my identity. It is now a thing I do, rather than a thing I am

This is something worth trying for most aspects of one's life. As soon as something is not in one's identity, it can change or be questioned without hurting so much. Being questioned, the thing can even be stronger since one can explain, with reason, why they are doing something, instead of "just" it being who they are.

It also helps avoid locking oneself up in predefined boxes, categories and perspectives.

Getting older, it probably allows one to adapt more easily to an ever moving world too.

By the way, suppose you put "open source developer" into your identity, go somewhere people don't know anything about software and computers. Now what? "open source developer" is not relevant to them, it will be hard to explain who you are. Do you cease to exist there? No, obviously. That's because something deeper into you, touching your core values, lead you to participate in open source as a developer in your world. But those core values could have lead you to something else too, in a different world or another path of life.

My opinion is: don't let too many things be in your identity. It makes you vulnerable and inflexible, without many benefits and probably blocks you access to useful introspection.
