Yes, I'm thinking about the question more because I think that the use of marine mammals is somehow different emotionally even if not different semi-objectively. Maybe part of it is that horse and dog are domesticated as almost extensions of people (and the pigeon doesn't have the mammalian emotional resonance).

In a larger than dolphins specifically sense, it is something significant to think about since autonomous machines will be asked to perform similar tasks and since no war is "anything goes" it will be advantageous to think about how people perceive these other methods of execution.

My Pixel 2 will be the last Google phone I own. I really shouldn't continue using it but since I take excellent care of my electronics it works just as well as the day I bought it so I'm reluctant to ditch it until it actually develops problems.

It's going to be far more cost effective for me to move to an iPhone and I never thought I'd ever say something like that non-ironically.

How about improving software standards so it can last longer?

Why must software always need to be updated? Software can be stable.

This industry makes throwaway software just so it can keep pumping hardware forever.
I have a phone for 2fa (sucks) but I don't have a phone number and rarely take the device with me if I go out.

I think most satellites just unfurl solar panels. This one had to wrap up the big sun shield as well, and the lens pieces were kinda crammed together and then spaced out after deployment too. So the rocket couldn't fit something nearly as large as this as a payload going up.
Demand for better pay and conditions has been bubbling for a long time, the Fight for Fifteen has been going on since $15/hr was a livable wage and then the mass layoffs of 2020 radicalized workers. And business owners are pissed.

Bernie Sanders ran 2 presidential campaigns and got a lot of airtime for worker power. And layoffs screw people over for short-term gain and then incur more costs when staffing up again. It is an embarrassing place to be in so businesses jump on the narrative of a great resignation.
That's one of the things that's interesting about it being a private company and censoring things. The whole "free speech" vs "not free speech" issues. I certainly understand both sides of the aisle on that one but tend to lean against censorship.
> If they wanted to maintain a policy of ignoring IP, etc., they they should not have joined the WTO and signed conventions that hold them to obligations.

Entering into agreements with another party that doesn't share your values or over whom you have little power or leverage is a restatement of the advice to avoid being unequally yoked.
> Everyone works for the company, from the most entry level all the way up to the CEO and is thus "staff", and there is thus no indication in that sense of the word as to what its level is.

Absolutely. It has no bearing on seniority, and because of that I'd assume a neutral level of seniority.

>So in a title it must mean something different than just "works for the company".

I mean, that's what this whole discussion is about. In the context of the English language, this is a rather new usage of the word, and I'm trying to illuminate how its use is changing. I totally accept and appreciate that language is constantly evolving — I'm not sticking up a fuss and calling this wrong — but I'm trying to answer the question of what the word implies.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, this largely seems to be initiated by the "Staff Engineer" book[0], and I take at least part of his marketing is creatively "misusing" a word, or redefining a word, in order to distinguish his brand.

If you want to transfer contacts from the main addressbook you have to go through iCloud and export to vcf for a full take, last time I checked on iOS 12 I wasn't able to copy between addressbooks. Sorry if this has changed.
Good point, but it's one major reason why SpaceX makes the news (also Crew Dragon) and Arianespace doesn't, even if it doesn't apply in every instance.

If SpaceX was simply doing the same thing as everyone else has for 60 yrs, no one would care, I don't understand why people think they're the same thing
In a lot of European countries, you're required to take most of your vacation, and 6 weeks a year is not uncommon. Taking 6 weeks would be significantly frowned upon in the US.

Also, again, what you're calling "most tech companies" I assume is "a few on the west coast", and while that's a useful perspective, it's difficult to fit into a discussion where the granularity is "the US", where it certainly is not standard.

While I had a lower salary, I explored the world in my 20s by having a moderate amount of disposable income and a lot of free time.
It used to be that people talked to their local techies before making technology purchases.

> In 2021, an estimated of 57.4 Mt of E-waste was generated globally [1]

This is an increase over 2019 and before. The way things are designed and companies drive for profits on electronic things leads to more and more e-waste.

In the EU, that depends on what you use cookies for. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX...! Article 5.3:

3. Member States shall ensure that the use of electronic communications networks to store information or to gain access to information stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned is provided with clear and comprehensive information in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC, inter alia about the purposes of the processing, and is offered the right to refuse such processing by the data controller. This shall not prevent any technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out or facilitating the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary in order to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user.

I don’t think what you propose covers “and is offered the right to refuse such processing by the data controller”, but if the cookies are covered by the last sentence (for example if you store ‘is logged in as Foo’ or the contents of a shopping cart in there), you don’t even need to tell the user.
So, basically everything.
Exactly. Google played the "pay Apple prices for an Apple experience" tactic and already reneged. They're in a tough spot because I won't trust them again with anything not priced to be replaced in three years. So when you get to the question of wanting a device that lasts longer, the answer seems to be Apple.

I've been curious about the KaiOS phones for a few years now... the OS is derived from the old Firefox mobile OS, but most KaiOS devices seem to be candybar/flip-phones; the OS is "smart"ish, but the hardware looks "dumb".

It's kind of hard to find information about them, but if I could get a basic flip-phone that has a maps app, I'd be reasonably happy. I used to get by with a dumb phone and just write down directions before I left the house, but now that I'm married, plans tend to change more often.
> 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.

There is a lot of real usage which is not "banking/payments/secure messaging". Besides, stopping security updates does not mean the phone suddenly becomes open to the whole world. Many vulnerabilities might be exploitable only when running code natively on the device, or only when within radio range, or only when plugged directly to the USB port.
TLDR; other than >>> Specifically, many of us see NFTs as a 'circle jerk'

What do you think of tagging old growth trees on private property with QR codes linking NTFs as a way to protect them from the logging industry yet still extract the potential value of a literal growth asset?

Sometimes the early stages of a market do not reveal it's full potential, in the 1970s and 1980s many dismissed personal computers too.

I sometimes think that people with degrees should know better than to arrogantly conflate their google searches with actual knowledge and insight and so easily dismiss emerging markets they do not understand.

I am not a huge fan of digital NFTs either but then I really don't understand why anyone would pay for imaginary items in a game regardless of it being an NFT or just some vanity item yet people do it all the time.

The exact same arguments made against digital merchandise could and should be made against the perfume and makeup industries I suppose, as it is all just fake and has no tangible value.

Sorry if my words weren't snooty enough to rise to your level, I lost my thesaurus.
I wrote a thread[0] on Pixel 3 (trying to convince Google to extend the support) a few months before it went EoL[3] (Oct '21). Here's the important bits:

- 10M+ Pixel 3 devices that were sold worldwide

- 72% of Pixel 3's estimated lifecycle emissions are from its manufacturing[1]. Using your phone is _not the source of most of the emissions during a phone's lifecycle_.

- It has gotten worse over time, but Google hasn't offered better guaranttes. Pixel 5's emissions-over-lifetime are 30% higher than that of Pixel 3.

The alleged reason Google can't offer support beyond 3 years is because of Google's dependence on Qualcomm for the support[2]. Apparently Qualcomm asks for a ridiculous amount of money to support any chip beyond a measly 2-3 years. Apple gets away with it by building their own chips, and Pixel 6 is guaranteed to be supported for 5 years as a result.

However, the fact that Google - one of the world's richest corporation can't convince or pay Qualcomm to support a perfectly functional device in 2022 is astonishing.

You seem to lack the simplest terms when talking of IP laws. Copyright is something you infringe. You don't even say what you are referring to here by talking of "IP". The important stuff is always in details.

There's a large amount of misinformation and people lacking an understanding on the differences between copyright, patents and trademarks. Making these threads repetitive to read. Always such a pointless anecdotes such as yours, truncating all IP systems under "IP laws".

For example. The patent system came to existence to ensure that inventions were not hidden, but published to the public in a form patent. Instead of the inventor hiding the invention, the society grants the inventor sole rights to the invention thanks to them making it public.

Copyright and Trademark are different beasts to Patents, and all these are very linked to the laws of single countries, bar signed treaties. Please distinguish what you are talking about. Otherwise your point is moot.
Recently it seems that tickets to some concerts are only available via a mobile app.

Ironically, Ticketmaster is kind of ok, as they let you access them using the mobile web browser. Some other vendors seem to be only allowing it through their proprietary apps, though (e.g., AXS).

Not only must you have a smartphone, but you must also use the Google or Apple app stores -- it's not like they'll just let you download an .apk from their own website or anything, of course.

I'm almost ready to just say fuck it and give up on all this bullshit, but when it's one of your favorite bands...

I guess there are two camps. The people who see a story like this and go "hell yeah the underdog strikes back!" dispute how true any evidence may be, and the people who see this story and go, "Stop whining."

If this tweet thread gets massive amounts of traffic, which it looks like it has, and a whole slew of people in the first camp discover Bolt and become potential future customers... Mission accomplished.
how about the Wikipedia definition?

> Science fiction (sometimes shortened to sci-fi or SF) is a genre of speculative fiction which typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life. It has been called the "literature of ideas", and it often explores the potential consequences of scientific, social, and technological innovations.[1][2]

That definition doesn't really fit The Martian. If your headcanon definition of SciFi does include The Martian then that's fine, but I don't really understand how you think excluding it from the category is an insult when for most common definitions it doesn't really fit well.

In my mind, SciFi is Asimov's Foundation series, or Star Trek, or Dune. It's set in the future or an alternative universe with considerably different, more advanced technology than modern-day reality. The Martian is set 13 years from now, using today's technology.

That's only half true.

It's true that we don't know everything there is to know the brain, and critically we have zero idea where consciousness actually comes from; where 'you' exist within your brain.

But we do know a whole hell of a lot of details. A bunch of the different chemicals inside of the brain, how they influence behavior and mood. We know a whole bunch about different receptors and have drugs to modify their behavior. We're now able to use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to stimulate nerve cells in the brain and are able to use that to help people suffering from depression, OCD, and to help mathematical cognition [1].

Our knowledge is hampered by the difficulty of research in this area. The cost of imaging techniques - specifically SPECT scans which use 5-7 Tesla machines which use liquid helium which is super difficult to work with. This means there's not really a way to test exactly which medication will help a given individual other than to give it to them, but don't mistake that for a total lack of knowledge about how things work. We do actually know the method of action on how those drugs work, which ones are agonists and which ones are antagonist and which don't mix.

Better real-world treatment options would be really awesome! It sucks that we can't do any better. Cheap and better imaging options would really change the status quo and allow better real-world treatment for mental illness. But what we do know takes years, if not decades for a person to learn, so even though things are still changing in the field, even though we can't answer some fundamental questions about consciousness, we understand a whole hell of a lot more than "it's located in your head and weighs a few pounds".

I am somewhat confused by all the love for mechanical keyboards. Don't get me wrong I absolutely agree that a good keyboard is a great investment and think that about 99.99% of all keyboards are complete garbage.

What I don't understand is how someone can spend so much time and/or money getting just the right key switch and researching the right amount of lube to be applied on the inside of those switches, but at the same time not get/build a keyboard that fixes the two major defects shared by 99.99% (probably understating it) of all keyboards.

Instead of telling you what those defects are I invite you to notice them on your own by moving away the keyboard and mouse and what else is on your desk and instead place you hands on the plate and looking at them for a few minutes.

Once you notice those two characteristics of your hands you should also see how your current keyboard (be that an apple/dell/logitech or fancy keyboard for $1000) completely fails to take those into account.

Sure, lube you key switches, I am sure that improves your typing experience too, but compared to fixing the two defects of most keyboards those improvements are only marginal.

I got nothing for a couple of years in a row, then less than 1% the next; the HR guys said this is because there is a very low turnover, so there is no need to pay better. Companies to what they can, as much as they can.

AFAIK, Azure only alerts when a threshold you specify is reached. For instance, you set a budget of $10k and you specify 50% threshold. So when you have consumed $5k, Azure will send you an alert. However, suppose your daily run due to some bad selection is $400, in this case, Azure will tell you only on the 14th day that you've consumed 50%. On the other hand, CloudAlarm doesn't need threshold – it just takes your budget and see whether your daily burn rate estimates to exceed your budget. In the above example, CloudAlarm can thus notify you on the 2nd day itself because $400 * 30 is $12k.

Yes, CloudAlarm, as of now, depends on Azure's pricing data API to do this calculation. It's easy for Azure to do what CA is doing but their threshold based design is a problem, which only prompted me to create this service.

CA also has 'new resource' alarms as well, which are almost instant (a few mins after creation of a new resource), which helps you monitor and fix resource created with unexpected, expensive tiers. This can often happen with automated creation of databases, for example.

I just did it because Azure wasn't doing it, despite people complaining, including me, had faced multiple such issues of unexpected expensive resource got created without intention/knowledge.

The problem is usually complexity and opportunity cost.

Once you have a team that can keep Android patched, someone at Google is going to use them to speed up another product or create a new one.

Why not add another team more? First, the situation will repeat itself, other needs would be prioritized higher. And there is a limit on the number of teams an organization can manage without non-linear manager cost increase.

Linux runs on old hardware because big corporations own old hardware and are willing to pay to not have to replace it. Replacing a phone is a cost for the individual owner. And my experience with company phones is that they are seen as a retention perk. So newer flashier phones are worth the cost, it could be different in other industries, thou.

One common solution to these problems is regulation. The government forces phone makers to patch the software for X years. Now there is a strong incentive to do so if the phone makers want to continue operating in that market.
"All while the world's elites have doubled or tripled their fortunes. Great Robbery would be a more apt name than Great Resignation."

I don't get it. Why does what they do have anything to do with what you or I do? Why does anyone begrudge someone else for being lucky, harder-working, in the right place at the right time, better looking, fitter, smarter, better at business, better at making connections, faster at learning, or anything else that helps them acquire more wealth? Was it at your expense? I've certainly been passed for hiring because someone found a better candidate. I've receive smaller raises than a co-worker probably because they did more impactful work. I'm sure I've missed opportunities due to office politics.

I guess this is where we should all whip out the "U mad bro?" meme.
Apple makes some really nice devices, but there's a lot of people (myself included) that have a strong aversion to their "you don't want this, you want this other thing that we decided" mentality. Their software commonly does something totally different than what you tell it to do, because they decided it's better. Because of that, I will never own an iphone.

Its frustrating that all the big companies act like "we're big, so we'll do what we want, no matter how annoying it is to the end user" ... and the small companies really can't compete/disrupt the market because they're not big enough.
What is the relevance of tax brackets? Earning more nominally while standard of living going down is the same as earning less in real terms.

“Moving up” in a tax bracket never means earning less in nominal or in real terms. It just means you get less in your pocket of the extra you earned, not of the total you earned.
Lets not forget the fact that OP is white. I am not a race baiter, and hate identity politics. But as a non-white person, I would rather live in US than Europe. Forget about the social media takes, and lets talk about ground reality. US (and probably Canada), with all its fault, is one of the few countries on earth, where immigration and immigrants are normal and expected. I can also practice my religion with freedom, unlike most of Europe (UK is one exception with caveats of course) that are hell bent on restricting religious expressions. Lastly, I have to confess, all my takes are also a bit generalized but roughly hits the tone.
