I have been an Android user since the iPhone 3g and I have never considered moving back or to something else until Android 12. More and more it feel like Android is getting in the way. The app drawer/recent app swipe up is annoying and confusing, I can't do simple things like setting a timer via text unless the assistant is turned on, the driving mode is trash etc. I am really thinking of buying a pinephone pro and trying my hand at that.
No one wants that to happen, and I think Valve's asking price would be in hundreds of millions of dollars - given the recent Activision price tag.
I'm not, but far too many folks do as a matter of course.
> Actual people with real jobs were repeatedly refused, while insiders who knew how to fill out paperwork, and apparently knew where the blind spots were, filed hundreds of claims in the early pandemic days.

This is simply how every bureaucracy works at all levels. And Unix systems as well :/ Your system comes with cron and tar, you just have to know they exist and how can they be used. And to know that, you just have to read up relevant man pages, and to pull up man pages, you just...

... well I guess you can also hand couple grands to that dude over there mixing a peanut butter jar with fingers who apparently knows how to write a backup scripts and how to run it as a cron job.

I guess it's some sort of unsolved hard problem to make systems that are self sustaining, fair, and easy, that works reliably.

I wish it were this simple... but given that there's ~5250 O2 molecules for each CO2 molecule in the air, this will result in the production of 5250x additional CO2 molecules. Our CO2 capture process would then have to be 99.9999% efficient for this to pencil out.
Exactly this - camming out as a protective feature is hugely over-blown and possibly totally false. In my experience, only the very cheapest of cheese-grade screws (a la Aliexpress) chew up without camming out.
>Nope. You’re mixing numbers. Both the trials and independent national studies found vaccines like the Pfizer-BioNTech one to be about 95% effectiveness against severe disease and hospitalisation, not infection.

Nope. Please click and read either of the links I sent.

Here, I'll quote them for you.

>The trial enrolled 2,260 adolescents 12 to 15 years of age in the United States. In the trial, 18 cases of COVID-19 were observed in the placebo group (n=1,129) versus none in the vaccinated group (n=1,131).

>A total of 43,548 participants underwent randomization, of whom 43,448 received injections: 21,720 with BNT162b2 and 21,728 with placebo. There were 8 cases of Covid-19 with onset at least 7 days after the second dose among participants assigned to receive BNT162b2 and 162 cases among those assigned to placebo; BNT162b2 was 95% effective in preventing Covid-19 (95% credible interval, 90.3 to 97.6). Similar vaccine efficacy (generally 90 to 100%) was observed across subgroups defined by age, sex, race, ethnicity, baseline body-mass index, and the presence of coexisting conditions.

>The first primary end point was the efficacy of BNT162b2 against confirmed Covid-19 with onset at least 7 days after the second dose in participants who had been without serologic or virologic evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection up to 7 days after the second dose; the second primary end point was efficacy in participants with and participants without evidence of prior infection. Confirmed Covid-19 was defined according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) criteria as the presence of at least one of the following symptoms: fever, new or increased cough, new or increased shortness of breath, chills, new or increased muscle pain, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, diarrhea, or vomiting, combined with a respiratory specimen obtained during the symptomatic period or within 4 days before or after it that was positive for SARS-CoV-2 by nucleic acid amplification–based testing, either at the central laboratory or at a local testing facility (using a protocol-defined acceptable test).

>Major secondary end points included the efficacy of BNT162b2 against severe Covid-19. Severe Covid-19 is defined by the FDA as confirmed Covid-19 with one of the following additional features: clinical signs at rest that are indicative of severe systemic illness; respiratory failure; evidence of shock; significant acute renal, hepatic, or neurologic dysfunction; admission to an intensive care unit; or death. Details are provided in the protocol.

Primary goal, symptomatic infection. Secondary goal, severe infection.

Please stop the gaslighting.
> Also you're talking as if there's some just policeman who runs the world and thinks of "just" and practical solutions for everyone. There isn't any. Jews found out the hard way what could happen to them, no one offered them jack s*.

The partition of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state was designed by the UN and the British Empire, which retreated from the territory and let the dice fall where they may. Just another in the long series of insane borders the British Empire traced all over the Middle East, the cause of so much bloodshed over the years.

Of course, this wouldn't have happened if the Zionist movement hadn't lobbied for it, so I do agree with you that it was ultimately every man for himself. But had they petitioned for a piece of Germany, and had the European and American and Russian powers who re-drew the world been more wise, this entire situation could have been avoided. Alas, history can't be re-written, and who knows what other problems would have occurred.
Are you suggesting that legal products/services always win over illegal products in a capitalist market? Think again: Uber, AirBnb, etc.

> Why are people honestly against ID requirements for voting?

I think a better question is why folks are against ID requirements but are for vaccine passports and photo ids to buy cigarettes, booze, get into rated R movies, drive, or fly.

Just that you're doing something "possibly harmful", you're "a sucker", and you're "just satisfying your urges". But, sure, not evil.

Yeah, they were shit comments, people aren't over reacting by asking how they could possibly be helpful.

Hopefully the consumer marketshare has some influence on business decisions, which might make it worthwile for them to keep non-business customers. This kind of strategy certainly works for some professional software, which is often even free for students.
Microsoft does decently well here, and you can navigate this if you basically give individuals enterprise software.

The problem comes in when you try to cripple the home version so that small businesses, etc don't just use that.

I can't blame Google for this, but this is a pain. I'm likely a low-value customer and being intentionally churned out with this change (that's fine).

Google really needs to figure out their customer support. I've always been hesitant to commit because I've feared I'd not be able to get support if I ran into an issue.
Literally everything is a partisan issue including the voting ID. The general argument against it is that proposed valid IDs are not free to obtain, and this would equate to a voting tax which is forbidden in the constitution.
I dislike the phrase 'dynamic language' and especially dislike the phrase 'static language'. We should say 'dynamically typed' or 'statically typed', because 'static' languages are the site of major dynamism.
Shader languages are also hellbent on avoiding branches too so if is frowned upon and often not used. I could easily imagine not having it in a shader language.
Can definitely recommend Tiddlywiki. Ive just spent several weeks implementing a mini ZettelKasten using Tiddlywiki. It is created in 'exploded' mode in NodeJS and then a script runs to re-assemble it into a single html file (with the images in a separate folder) and then I push it to GitHub where it is published on to a personal domain. It is visible here: https://chloetiddlykasten.chloegilbert.me

I used the template (TZK) created by Soren Bjornstad to build it.
I guess the general premise is that any national ID number, SSN or otherwise, is liable to be used in all the wrong ways by untrustworthy institutions both inside and outside the government, damaging privacy and opening you up to exciting forms of fraud against your name (/ ID number); it is often treated as a secret, but it is not a secret at all.

— Unfortunately, with enough computers and enough tracking information, bad actors can often do the same thing without a number, anyway, and you can get different kinds of fraud.
The problem I have with iCloud+ isn't the product or price, it is how terrible Apple's web/cross-platform experience is.

Say what you will about Google/Gmail, but it has always worked extremely well just in a browser let alone all their app offers.
> That's actually eliminated/reduced the needs for translators

This is a radically misinformed statement. These are the real-world experience I've had with translators:

- translator with degree in languages, occasional translator: never mentioned Google Translate

- semi-professional translator (significant source of income coming from it): said that most professionals nowadays use GT as first pass; never mentioned GT being a threat

- multiple gigs I've requested for official documentation: those can't be done via GT, as they require a certified translator

- realtime translation I needed: again, can't be done via GT, as a certified translator is required

The idea that GT is eliminating translators is nonsense. It actually augments their capacity (re-read above, this is a real-world opinion of a translator).

> The jobs replacing it are much fewer and higher skilled (software dev).

Even assuming the (wrong) argument that GT eliminates jobs, SW devs are just one of the options. This actually reflects the ancestor comment: "Lack of work is only due to lack of imagination". Computer translation surely helped businesses around the world in communicating on a global scale, in a way that previously was not resource-effective (e.g. lookup on the dictionary); while this can't be quantified, it's the opposite of "reducing jobs".

Automation started around 300 years ago, not 30. If the automation-pessimists were right, essentially no jobs would exist by now. See lump of labour fallacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour.
Even if the polio vaccine isn't fully sterilizing, would you put our current COVID vaccines in the same league? Imagine we're living in the 60s right now, and we have a polio or smallpox vaccine with 70%+ uptake in the adult population, but the infection rate remains virtually unchanged. Would you consider this good enough?

I mean, take this quote from Dr. Fauci himself:

> As a physician and as a scientist and a public-health person, I think it is not entirely correct to make this very strong dichotomy between waning protection against hospitalization and death and waning immunity against infection and mild-to-moderate disease. It is an assumption that it’s okay to get infected and to get mild-to-moderate disease as long as you don’t wind up in the hospital and die. And I have to be open and honest: I reject that. I think we should be preventing people from getting sick from COVID even if they don’t wind up in the hospital.

My favorite video on this topic:

They first go to Berkeley, California and ask a bunch of white people their thoughts on voter idea laws. "They're racist, african americans don't know where the DMV is, don't have access to the Internet" type of answers.

Then they go to Harlem and ask people's thoughts on it.
My state engages in actually illegal data sharing and retention that violates state law. Nobody does anything about.

> I can't use my editor/IDE to "go to definition" of bar/baz

I use "Find Usages" on foo to see where it is used. Once you see where it is used, you know what the types can be. It's not great, but it's also something that can be progressively remedied.

In the event that the function is not as trivial as your example suggests, the author should have written a docstring to help you understand what it is trying to do, in addition to type annotations that will make it more readable.

In this example, bar can either be a function, a class, or any object with __call__(), so the type information is less important in this case, than actual docstrings that express intent.
This is a bad take. The problem with Google analytics is that it allows Google to surveil everyone's movements around the entire internet. This is enabled by the fact that for a long time, Google analytics was the best analytics product and it is free. I've been in the position myself with personal project websites of trying to decide whether I'm just not going to know anything about what my users are doing, whether I'm going to try to hook up some janky open source alternative, or whether I'm going to give in to the surveillance machine.

The competitor that put up this site appears to be a company that provides analytics that are not centrally collected and analyzed to serve ads across the internet. Their entire selling point seems to be that they do not engage in mass surveillance. Equating this to what Google analytics does (if this competitor's claims are accurate) is a false equivalency.

To me, this is no more objectionable than a foam insulation manufacturer capitalizing on asbestos bans.
That's not a philosophy, that's rigorous observational results from a plethora of psychology studies.[0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7] (and so on)

This isn't opinion, and these are just easily accessible sources. There are a lot more, and a lot more rigorous sources, if you're actually interested.

The alignment of incentives and the perception (or lack thereof) of choice does a lot more work than you apparently are aware of.

At this point, it seems like I'm trying to reason you out of an opinion you didn't reason yourself into, which is both sad and futile, so I'm going to stop.

IMO, this seems like a lawsuit territory. "Start paying us or we'll hold your purchases hostage".
Typora killer? I think that's overstating it a bit. I'm sure more than a few people using Typora (or who might use it) don't have the complex workflow that the author has. Some people only want to write something simple like articles or blog posts. Using Obsidian is a bit much for them. They probably won't use a fraction of Obsidian's features.

Anyway, why does everything need to be the killer of something similar? Can't all these apps just exist beside each other?
What's the solution then? Block my website for European visitors? It is not a bussiness, just a blog.

Is this statement true? I don't watch a lot of entertainment myself, but even I have heard of The Squid Game drama on Netflix. And that counts as a new content.
They have algorithmized TV production.

They collect shit-ton of data on everything of the users, and track eyeballs (not literally, I think)- what are people watching, what are people binging, etc.

They are forming clusters of users based on demographic, purchase power, etc, and mapping those clusters to features in content.

And if a certain overall kind or discreet feature is worth the amount of eyeball it is attracting, a designed, soulless series gets created with those features, or two.

This is what modern, app-TV feels to me. No art, no quality. Just content tailor-made and factory produced to match the taste of favored demographics with purchase power. And they not only want to match. They want to maximize.

They want the maximum amount of people to watch something, not small amounts of people finding their niche.

I cannot tolerate this kind of content, and I am unsubscribed to all services except Amazon Prime for free delivery of goods.

That doesn't mean there aren't some good TV. I would consider Bosch to be quality TV, and Ozark is okay-ish. The Expanse, too.

But I am done with conveyor-belt driven app-TV.

I will just binge The Wire when I am sick. Thank you.

Netflix is not especially quick to cancel shows. The modal broadcast show got 1 season pretty consistently during the entire broadcast era. Most years the first cancelled broadcast show occurs after 1-2 episodes have aired. Netflix does tend to leave shows with fewer episodes than traditional broadcast runs because the new norm is 8-10 episodes per season rather than 22-26; this has been reflected in significantly higher per-episode budgets, a much broader and deeper talent pool on screen, and a move towards serialized storytelling that started with HBO.

Netflix actually has extremely diverse programming on all levels. By genre, by budget, by language, by subject matter, by age rating, by quality, Netflix covers absolutely every quadrant.

Africans will find a vibrant local culture often welcoming, Arabs and Indians may get some looks from xenophobes. Think of it as Connecticut: lots of greatness, some backwardness in places. The Swiss are aware of their dependency on foreign skilled labour.
Not OP, but I feel compelled to answer. I have lots of my own thoughts and feelings on the topic. I'll leave it at two framing thoughts:

If you literally can't find time to eat, how will you even be able to function to execute work, let alone anything higher level than that? I know you probably didn't mean literally no time to eat, but my broad point is how can you work hard indefinitely without caring about your physical self reliably?

If your workload will never end, what exactly are you racing against by working as hard as you can every day? Even if you 100% everything for one day, you're guaranteed to have just as much or more the next day, right? What are you gaining by battling every day until you give out?

I love my wife a lot. She's like my shadow, evidence that the sun is in the sky.

If she got really sick I would stay with her and care for her. A huge chunk of that is because I'm attached to her, the little human pattern that the universe mumbles out. The other mind that looks at me and convinces me I actually exist.

I personally think it's irresponsible to set up these weird transcendental expectations. If anyone reading this has yet to fall in love or be in a long term relationship, it's all flowery and cute and lovey at first and then one day you fart for the first time in front of her. There's like, non-subjectively evident demands that you agree to impose on yourself when becoming a union. Physical. Social. Emotional.

I would not leave my wife if her mind was gone. Besides my irrational human attachment, I can't imagine putting my family, her family, our friends, through the experience of seeing her be abandoned by her life partner. Of having them experience evil unmask itself through the act of relegating her to a meat body, which we all are.

I don't know why I felt such a strong urge to express my cynicism. I don't believe in souls, I guess is part of it. I also don't like when people get hyped into expecting the universe from others. My wife loves me deeply, I feel it when she randomly puts her head on my shoulder or I catch her staring at me. She would also yell at me in embarrassment if I farted loudly next to her at the grocery store.

The radar altimeters came first, so the FCC should never have been allowed to sell that spectrum or allow the power levels it did.

It’s not like they could reasonably use other frequencies: Those in use for radar altimeters are defined by the physics of radar signals and this band offers the best, safest, most accurate results which is crucial when landing massive airliners full of people.

Every other country in the world has solved this by limiting 5G spectrum sales to below the bands used for radar altimeters, limiting power output, having restrictions around airports, and mandating things like downward-angled antennas.

Blame the FCC for this, not the FAA and the plane manufacturers.
