> if someone eats a "tofurky" for Thanksgiving, they're engaging in something similar to eating meat, which reinforces the norm that eating meat is an acceptable thing, or suggests that there is a genuine (superior) non-plant-based version of the facsimile you're eating. The objection isn't purely "you could be eating tastier stuff", you think the end goal of more widespread veganism is actually undermined by the existence of meat substitutes.

Yes, that's an excellent summary of my thinking! Thank you for helping me articulate it.

I don't think people are literally fooled by fake meat, but I just believe we should be moving away from the concept of eating meat imitations to eating vegan dishes which do not attempt to replicate animal products, but stand on their own, because ultimately the notion that we are still replicating flavors and concepts around meat I find very sad. Specifically, it is upsetting to me that people still view animal consumption as desirable, if objectionable. It is deeply upsetting to me any time I hear other vegan friends say 'man, I wish I could have a burger' or 'that bacon smells soooo good', because this still perpetuates the desire to consume meat.
This is somewhat misleading information.

VAERS is an open database, it can be easily submitted to by anyone, it's not a good source of truth and may contain statistical bias.

Parent's ARE vaccinating their children, millions of kids age 5-11 have had the vaccine: https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine-trac... Depending on the state, the total % vaccinated in that age group varies between ~20-50%.
Students are already made to use iPads or Chromebooks with apps installed using the Apple Enterprise tools that don't have to pass the validation process and can collect all of their information.

Same is true of employers and their employees.

So what you are talking about is in fact already there, and Apple is fine with it and facilitates it.

> Why even involve the cops - if you have an airtag, you should be able to scan it's code and it reveals the account holder's name.

That's easy. If you find my house keys, I'd rather you couldn't just look up my address.

I don't know if Apple makes it easy or not, but I'd certainly like to be able to push a notification to the AirTag owner if I have found one of their things. At least so I can send them a message "I dropped this off at the local police station so you can pick it up" etc, or something along those lines.
It must. There's no functional difference.

If it doesn't, there's grounds for injunctions and lawsuits aplenty.
This one is pretty simple. All the communication with the sonos device happens in the clear and the protocols are actually pretty well documented.

Honestly I was worried I would have a knock at my door from this. The AirTag will make it quite clear who owns it.

But I expect someone familiar with returned items will say "Oh, someone forgot to remove their AirTag again. Throw it in the garbage." So hopefully no knocks at my door.

Its how you handle and rectify those mistakes which defines you.
Back before we discovered viruses, nobody died from them (that we knew of.)
The EU has approved Pfizer for children 5 and over. Moderna is still being reviewed for younger children. Exact guidelines may vary by country.

Overall, Pfizer has been approved in 137 countries and Modern in 85.
The FCCs primary concern is devices not interfering with each other. Part of that is cutting up areas geographically and by spectrum, so you know that the 100MHz FM station in one area won't over lap with another's and both can transmit. My guess would be that mobile transmitters are required to fill out paperwork about how they won't interfere anywhere in the US. I could be wrong though.

"Requires separate approvals" does not always mean that approval is hard to get. It might require a version of the dish that doesn't do something v1 or v1 and v2 current do however.
I don't agree with the parent commenter, but in some states/countries net metering is being turned around to having to pay a flat fee per kWh of solar generators. For example, my electric bill is around $160, I can net zero it out with 8kWh of solar costing me (installing it myself) about $8k total, but then if I get charged the $8 per kWh per month that is being proposed, I now pay $80/month to maintain a grid I rarely use as opposed to $0/month. Shifting my ROI from 4 -> 8 years. If you get solar installed with an installer, you would probably pay something like $20k for that same array, so your ROI goes from 10 -> 20 years, where your warranty might stop at 10 or 15 years. If you instead threw that $20k lump sum on the stock market and got 5% per year, you would match the amount you would have saved on solar.

Edit: Math is hard, that's $64 a month and the numbers change slightly but the essence of what I'm saying still holds
A resolution for the iPhone remote access vulnerabilities
The main vulnerabilities exist because of a clickless load that happens largely when a user is sent a text message and either views it or the message contents are parsed to cache the link. Resolving this vulnerability is critical, and yet should not be the main focus for the developers at Apple.

Mainly the "True" vulnerability lies in that the messaging app "iMessage" and the contacts app "Contacts" are not unified and do not handle permissions well. Let me explain. When the user is sent a message from the attacker which leads to the exploit phase, this is because the user is not empowered to inherently reject messages that are incoming. A user that is not present in the contact or address list for an iPhone user should not be able to send iMessages to the user. In other words, the users Contacts should act as a default block list. This would not be sufficient normally, as there are use-cases where the user needs to receive messages from an unknown number.

This is one of the core ways to defeat the vulnerability: making it impossible for the user to receive unsolicited messages, and instead to receive a "Message Request(s)" from unknown numbers, which would be stored in the settings or the main section of the message app "iMessage" as an approve/block list. These users would not be able to send ANY information to the user, whatsoever. They can only initiate the approve/deny process, after which, the user may add them to contacts or allow them to remain as a "temporary contact" -- while also using PBX/callerID discovery to add information to the request, i.e. "Maybe: Alice", or "Maybe: Bob". Unknown users or users that have no association to the user would be either subject to further research on the user's part or result in a block action.

The block action should be defined in 3 pieces. Block for 1 day, Block for 1 week, Block permanently. Clicking "block" should allow the user to select the option as a pop-up menu.

The second way to resolve the vulnerability is to have more strict handling with the contacts app "Contacts" -- instead of the standard user process of "text me" or "call me" to get a number, there should be an easy way to transmit contact information either via an electronic process (scan the QR, contact the devices, etc.) but also by means of knowing the users phone number or contact number. "Text me" should be initially handled by the contacts app, NOT messages. A user that is not validated who sends SMS or a similar message to the user should result in the data not being parsed whatsoever, and the number being sent to a validation step. This solves the issue of users needing to add others via phonecall/texting process while also protecting them during that process from an outside attacker who may have gained their number.

Same, I had $4K of camera equipment stolen in the Bay Area and police just closed the case.

I wouldn't be surprised if the next 10 car smashings were the same crooks because the police department won't do its job. They keep letting the crooks go, and we wonder why there are so many thefts in SF these days. Well maybe don't let the crooks go!

That said though I wonder if AirPods are having success in other countries with more competent police.

For the US I really wish we could commercialize some kind of tracker that releases fart spray, honey, flour, ink, glue, and other annoying substances if stolen. If the police won't do their job we need to do it ourselves.

Every city in the US. Between 'are we the baddies' and relatively meh pay most municipalities are short of officers.

I'd link an article, but googling 'police shortage' would seem to do the trick.
Probably not, national economies would just have to function more independently. The only way I can see how trans-oceanic trade results in better health and mortality outcomes is that it makes the various world superpowers more dependent on each other for trade, reducing the likelihood of large-scale armed conflict.
US trucks have a more ornate design, while European ones are blockier

I find this very similar to US vs EU fridges: US ones are metallic, rounded and bulky, European ones are, in new kitchens, integrated behind cabinet doors that look the same as the other cabinets, a more minimalist design.

But then why does software/apps from the US look so minimalist like the European fridges?
I am working on a game that hits some of the main bullet points. Being a duo developer and aiming for a low end hardware demographic, it won't have the high polygon visuals many want, so I wouldn't call it equivalent. Hopefully I can carve out a niche that's enjoyable for a number of people.
I have not had any issues like this with mine, and I use them all the time to find things. I would buy more if I had anything else to attach them to.
This was expected and its been a supply issue for a while, also they had to do this last year as well.
They've never responded for things like this, be it now, pre-pandemic, or 20 years ago. It's never been an understaffing issue.

An iPhone will eventually notify you about a tag that is following you. You can get a "Tracker Detect" Android app that will do a similar thing. There's also plenty of apps that'll just tell you all the NFC devices in your vicinity.

Yep, owner operators repair their own trucks. Sometimes even fairly major engine work.

However, you can have well-engineered simplicity, too, and that seems to be rare. (As opposed to poorly engineered simplicity or highly engineered complexity.)
Money is practically free these days, so a bunch of college dropouts can secure a few billion in pre-launch funding to build their own mega-whatever.
Ugh. This is true. When I was at the US Embassy getting my fiancee visa I started talking to an African woman. She was very excited. She had just been called up to get her visa after being on the list for 18 FUCKING YEARS.
Depending on how important power consumption is, might consider experimenting with fuel injectors and PWM (maybe into a small reservoir to smooth out the flow).
Oh, stop and go traffic is real, real bad for me (10-12 mpg). I was talking about matching speed with the person in front of you on the highway. That number doesn't necessarily correspond with the speed limit.

I might have gone to a hybrid or an electric car already if it wasn't for the fact that I lived next to my office and walked to work. Then the pandemic happened and I rarely go anywhere :(

Felt real weird having an apartment right next to your office but working from home because it was closed. Ended up just getting rid of it and moving in with my parents because living alone while not being able to see anyone was not doing kind things to my mental state.
Yeah a bunch, I worked at Amazon but I'm sure its similar everywhere else. Basically, the scientists were way more familiar with notebooks, and they'd code their models there, but when we needed to deploy it, we needed a proper python package that we could store in git, build, test, run in a container, integrate with data engineering tools, and deploy on some internal tools and AWS Sagemaker later. So we'd usually end up converting it to a Python package once it was ready, which worked OK, but you could tell the scientists were more comfortable in notebooks.

Funnily, there were a bunch of internal MLOps type frameworks there (at least 4) that tried to let the scientists deploy to production w/o engineers, but they all failed or semi-failed. I've heard Netflix made it work and I follow MLFlow so I'd be curious what sticks here.

I don't work in the space anymore but it was an interesting space, definitely could use more standardized tooling.
Portland, of course, definitely belongs on the list.

I live in a small town outside of Portland and it's not bad, we haven't cut the funding for our police.
China is taking draconian measures to protect people from game addiction. While I generally don't agree with their politics I feel they are doing the right things to protect the society.

I feel the occidental states are not doing enough to protect people from game addiction and protect children from tablet addiction and bad contents.

These thing are slowly eroding our society and making people more miserable when they are not able to help themselves against all these forms of addiction.
I think symfony developers are still good professionals, given the size of the project and the amount of contributors, having an error or not having a test case for something specific could be forgiven, I would reply that errors and bugs can slip in a codebase, I guess it's more important to create a test case to double check that a bug doesn't re-appear in the future after it has been fixed?

I mean I fail to understand what are you trying to say, someone stops being a professional as soon as it hasn't covered a test case?

Or are they kids just for having slipped a bug? Despite their work powers a lot of companies software (including the ones I work for)

Are you just trolling?

It’s not a game, it’s a simulation.

Perhaps that’s what needs to be communicated better.
Since they used the tests this is not something you can do if you don't have a rich battery of tests.

Perhaps many problems are something like finite automata and the program discover the structure of the finite automata and also an algorithm for better performance.
Maybe. But if I buy a third party GPS thing for $50 that also works with my Android, PC etc. then it is cheaper than getting the apple devices plus airtag.
It'd be interesting to know the "true" price of that energy. That is, what the utility would pay you for what you feed back into the grid vs. acquiring that energy from another source. Essentially impossible to calculate given all the regulations and subsidies, but my guess is that it would be quite low relative to your metered rate, and thus the actual "offset" of carbon-based fuels is small.

> See, the intelligentsia have already chosen Marxian socialism as the successor to the liberal democratic system.

From the article

> Although he sustained a seldom-stated bond with Marxism he was not primarily interested in political economy, nor did he have any real talent for the topic. Instead he was drawn to the inspection of lived experience in all of its exquisite detail.

I'm not sure what "intelligentsia" means in your phrasing but your assertion does not apply to Adorno. His writing is generally skeptical of anything that is systematizing or totalizing. Reality has depth and is complex. Systems elide much of that depth and complexity, replacing it with shallowness and false simplicity. What I wrote is a limited summary, for sure, but more accurate than implying endorsement of a particular ideology.
This is a commonly repeated trope that is completely false and based on very questionable accounting. Namely the omission of opportunity cost and the comparison of static parameters to temporal parameters.

I'm banking on a bike theft being a crime of opportunity and not necessarily being done by someone who has thought things through completely.

But against a professional thief an AirTag probably won't do much.
For me personally, I had to stop using my airtag (a singular one), because I notice that my phone has started draining battery much quicker than it was supposed to, for weeks on end. I checked the battery management page, and it turns out that the airtag functionality was draining most of it (despite my airtag being always near me, pretty much). Neither software updates nor disconnecting and re-pairing the airtag from scratch helped. Once I completely disconnected the airtag, the battery issue went completely away.

I realize that this might not be a common experience and that it could be just some particular quirk about how it works with my phone specifically. But I gave up after that.
I think AirTags are only the right choice for casual stalkers who haven't really thought their plan all the way through. Anybody who is properly motivated will easily find better options.
