Did we read the same article? Without security updates, you really shouldn't rely on a phone for banking/payments/secure messaging. Google has effectively killed the Pixel 3 for real usage.

You should be able to throw LineageOS on there as long as you don't have a locked Verizon bootloader. But there are a lot of caveats to that, in terms of which apps will work when rooted, which won't etc. etc.
> For me by the way that sounds like a good reason to 'buy local'

You're right, the perfect reason even. Thanks for making me see.

I was under the illusion that locally made business-casual style clothing would be difficult to find. A very quick search was all it took to bust that idea, and make me feel ridiculous for thinking it in the first place.

More expensive, naturally, but the price difference is minimal - not much more than a small uptick.

This is enrichment :)
Risk is always estimated impact times probability. The impact of automatic weapons is low, compared to nuclear weapons. The probability is much higher.

It's almost as if both were problems that need to be tackled in different ways, not issues to be used for whataboutism.
The first sentence I saw when following the link:

"Before “offering solutions,” sci-fi must actually grapple with the material realities of our present"

makes me think that the author has never read any SF or perhaps has only seen recent mass market blockbuster entertainment on video. An enormous amount of SF uses the 'permission' that the genre affords to focus closely and discard irrelevant detail precisely in order to 'grapple with the material realities of our present'.

You can see this as far back as Jules Verne in 20 000 Leagues under the Sea and most likely much earlier. How about Accelerando by Charles Stross for something more recent. What about Brunner's Shockwave Rider, Karel Capek's RUR, Light Of Other Days by Baxter and Clarke. All dealing with real social issues amplified and illuminated by SF.

I, and many others, could go on at seriously boring length on this subject
20 years ago I would have expected that most printers were connected to a parallel or serial port on a PC and any network printing functions would be handled by the PC. But then I think, wait, that was the year 2002 (which seems like yesterday when I say it) so maybe printers with direct network connections were pretty common then. My sense of the passage of time has really gotten compressed as I get older.

I think it's meant in contrast to kids drinking sodas from an early age.
It's not unfounded, and they knew about it before it ever flew once. A family member was in the CIA at the time (later at NSA and RAND) and played a role after they were sent to the USSR after graduating college to study Russian (paid for by CIA, they know 8 languages). They translated the technical Russian Buran plans/documents and decoded them for our scientists to compare to their own, as well as help slip design flaws into plans they knew would get stolen (because they knew who was stealing them from Nasa). They met with the president over the issue multiple times. True story. They were also involved in every stealth program until they retired in the early 2k's. They were in the pentagon when the plane struck on 9/11. I really wish I could get them to talk more or write a book lol. [Using "they" to avoid gendering family member]

The Soviets (at the time) didn't "copy" it. They stole the plans and made it from them, adding in a few alterations, although the plans they stole were purposefully flawed.

If you're up for it, you can visit the Buran's in their final resting place in Baikonur. They're just sitting there rotting away. Here's a video of some kids who broke in and had some fun exploring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q7ZVXOU3kM

Interesting thought that audio clips (rather than a comment in text format) may remove some of the anonymity in social media situations, which would hopefully lead to slightly more civil discussions and a less toxic environment overall.

Is there limit on audio clip duration? Any controls on decibel level? I would hate if one clip ended up being like 4x louder than the rest out of nowhere.

Last item that bugs me in terms of social media audio -- Do you have any autoplay enabled? I truly hate when I unmute a single video in a newsfeed, which then unmutes all videos in the newsfeed and proceeds to auto-play them when I start scrolling again -- very, very frustrating (happens on Insta and Google News iirc)
Would add Bolt's unique fundraising strategy to the equation. They raised at $500mm post in July 2020, $850mm that December, $4.8bn in September 2021 and $11bn just now. If WeWork was the smoke signal for an overhyped pre-pandemic IPO market and Clover Health for SPACs, Bolt Financial is the post child for the runaway valuations of 2021. Blaming Stripe for its fundraising difficulties is absurd.
Doesn't Google publish the images for their phone, making it easier to load custom ROMs?

Done, now your phone will be supported damn near forever.

----

I get that Google themselves should be supporting their phones for longer. I completely agree. I just can at least say that they've given you the tools to still use the phone after the updates stop.

That's a damn sight better than other manufacturers... e.g. Nokia 6, the bootloader is locked, and I had to pay some kid in some random country to unlock it for me with his reverse engineered tool.

So no, I give Google a lot of shit about their behaviour, but phone updates? Could be longer but I won't hold them to it.
Sure, I'm all for quick wins; get lead outta houses, I'm all on board, but we also shouldn't forget the circumstances that caused black people to disproportionately be in lead-filled houses (presumably mostly economic).

I guess what I'm trying to say is that lead poisoning is a symptom of a bigger issue. It's perfectly fine (and encouraged) to treat the symptoms, but I feel like the comment was replying to was acting like we shouldn't attribute things like this to systemic oppression.

> That sounds like what someone could say about Linux:

So? The problem is both Linux and a Custom ROM take a few orders of magnitude more technical skill and effort to install and maintain, which is completely unreasonable to expect from a typical non-hobbyist retail technology user. Such users should be able to click "update" on their system, get up-to-date with patches, so they can go on to do what really want to do (which probably isn't "maintain their technology"). I'm even someone who's capable of doing that, but I don't want to because I've got much better and more important things do with my time now.
At least as long as their main competitor, which currently has a phone that has been supported for 6.5 and will probably remain supported up until 8 years from its release date (iPhone 6S).

Now when dumb phones also have internet connectivity, is this really sound advice? Having no updates only means that vulnerabilities are not getting fixed. Since 4G connectivity and WhatsApp have become the minimum requirement for the bulk of the market, dumb phones have become Linux pcs with always-on internet, too.
Well, what the business will pay for you declines the longer you stay.
Back in the day, the downvotes here would flow like a river at the suggestion that an engineering career behooved one to understand Calculus and Linear Algebra with Statistics and Differential Equations if possible thrown in for good measure because Peter Thiel said college degrees were worthless and he was even offering $100K to some lucky winners to prove his point. Admittedly, I would have probably taken that offer had I been 18 and then gone to college afterwards, but it seemed to deliver mixed results.

For the above math comes up again and again writing software. Pure math like real analysis, graduate level algebra, number theory and topology not so much. I'm guessing the rise of AI demonstrated the previous mindset against math was poppycock all along so now we've gone to the opposite extreme and made it a religion? I think people are bringing their own biases into that interpretation and you are right about which biases.

But, also, not my problem. My personal bias is that I recognize this problem as exactly the sort of thing that gets brought up as a gotcha interview question by people who couldn't come up with that exact solution themselves yet understand it just enough to use it to make an interviewee squirm.

That's a bit hyperbolic. Your point stands, otherwise.
You keep moving the goal posts. I never said better, I said most successful. If you want to say better, then you need to say better "for what".

> OOP and FP are both turing complete. That means Every OOP program has an FP and imperative counterpart. In addition to this many Non-OOP software solutions exist in the real world. Linux for example is NOT OOP.

Right so there could be non-OOP counterparts to the overabundance of OOP applications but they don't exist. You argue that everyone in the world is an idiot and you're the one sane person -- think about that.

Linux has plenty of OOP design patterns.

Google has actually started extending its security update policy for its hardware to 5 years. I don't know what "enough" is, but as someone who has to do these updates (ironically, for Fitbit devices, yes we are owned by Google now) I will say that continuing to ship updates for products you shipped 5 years ago is far from trivial. It forces you to develop in ways that are not natural for people that work with hardware (the natural thing is to branch per product, but good luck managing that if you need to land a security fix on the 15 or so products we shipped in the last 5 years). This is manageable now that we're owned by Google, but prior to the acquisition it was a serious drain on my team. And folks on my team would tell you that they don't love it even today -- having to support 5-yr old MCUs when you're trying to keep your BOM down can be very challenging, especially managing available memory.

I recently switched to an iPhone 12 for this reason. It's been almost a year and I still hate iOS. It's significantly dumber than Android and has some truly baffling UX choices. However, the phone is undeniably better than any Android phone I've ever used so I can't convince myself to switch back.
> The salaries are shockingly low. Really ask yourself if all the comforts of Europe are worth cutting your salary in 2 or 3, and that's before...

Exactly! No amount of health-care and vacation can cover for that. And that's why as for a skilled immigrant, USA is top destination.

> Taxes. The top tax rate here is in the low-40s, comparable to the US, but unlike the US, the top tax bracket starts below $65k.

It's funny when I see Americans on reddit complaining about how they have to pay so much in taxes. When you show them exact numbers, then they start talking about how they don't get "worth" of their taxes.
This is sort of what I wonder about the Tensor in the new Pixels... but after Pixel 3 I'm not willing to gamble that much money on what looks like yet-another of Google's attempts to shift blame about why they can't support their phones. If Pixel "6a" has Tensor and is priced like a phone that will only be supported for 3 years, I'll consider it.

But frankly it's really hard to justify not getting an iPhone anymore. I have three kids and they all want iPhones and all their social life is on iMessage. Not to mention that all the apps I have to use for work are better supported in iPhone and have issues on Android but IT doesn't really care. It's becoming really difficult to justify not just getting my wife and I iPhones in the next cycle and planning to hand them down.
I started a project with a Deno backend and Svelte front end last week and it was painful trying to share types between the projects. Deno not allowing imports without file extensions '.ts' and the Typescript tsserver not allowing imports with a '.ts' extension is really annoying, and neither group seems to want to budge. I ended up having to create a shared types folder and a script that copies the files to each project stripping out file extensions for non-Deno projects.

Does anyone else have a better solution shared Typescript code?

Counterpoint: not everything on Github is software. The linked instructions use the phrasing "let them cite your work". You might use Github as a canonical source for, say, a data dump. Or really any kind of non-software information. This would be a useful way to allow folks to cite your work.
Be aware that as long as you're a US citizen you will still have to file a US tax return (in addition to local taxes) wherever you go! Most countries have reciprocal tax agreements with the US (you basically deduct taxes paid in one country from the other) so you don't have to actually pay twice, but you definitely do have to file twice! There are all sorts of peripheral headaches related to this, for example the UK tax year does not align with the US tax year.

Still totally worth it IMO. I moved to the UK for a few years, got cold and moved back to a warm part of the US, but missed it and moved back to the UK. I have no intention of moving back to the US again.
My take on /r/antiwork is that people not working is the end goal, which is the hope for a true futuristic utopia right? Obviously we can't reach that yet, so people compromise by wanting better working conditions in the meantime.

hey, I loved The Martian too (the book moreso than the film but only because the book was so great) - but it really isn't SciFi, or at least what I'd describe as SciFi. It's set in the modern day using modern day technology. That's not an insult, it's just a categorisation.

I had attempted to use Deno not long ago, but I learned that (apparently, I might be wrong) you can only get proper intellisense/error checking support if you're using a VS Code extension. I write my code in Vim/Neovim almost exclusively, and the import declarations really screwed up my TypeScript plugin; it didn't know how to handle the URLs and so I had no intellisense/error checking.

I gave up after searching around for a few minutes and learning that for now I'd need to use VS Code to write Deno code, if I want those features.

I thought that his point was "there's no substitute for understanding why" ?
Around the time of our invasion of Iraq the South Korean President of Korea criticized the Bush administration’s fixation with Iraq. A day or so later Rumsfeld announced that the U.S. would withdraw from South Korea in the coming years. Their stock market went into a downward spiral and they quickly recanted their criticisms. The U.S. has done a lot of good and a lot of bad. An Australian once said to me, “If someone is going to rule the world you could do a lot worse than having it be the U.S.”

Far better to neutralise these people by moving it offshore.
