I don’t know if there’s an Android version, but I use “Scanner Pro” by Readdle on my iPhone to scan physical documents, then use airdrop to move them to my Mac where I later file them under ~/Docs/ORGNAME/YYYY-MM-DD with some description of what it is by at the end of the file name.

Looking at the settings just now, there’s an auto-upload option in there I haven’t taken advantage of yet, that allows for popular sync services as well as WebDAV. Which means I could configure this to auto upload docs to my NAS. I need to get on that…

Anyway, that app is pretty great in my experience. I think it even does OCR when converting to PDF automatically.
Not about you specifically, but most people underestimate how different European countries can be from each other and how "moving a 10-hr drive away" can actually mean "not being able to understand anyone for the next 10 years, eating a completely different cuisine and being totally out of touch with the traditions and culture for some time".

Moving to a different country in Europe might not even be an option for quite a lot people.
Aternate hypothesis: the rise of more subjective terms parallels increased social justice movements, and thus reflects the attempt to soften language to appease those who might vehemently disagree with “conclusions” that you might draw.

Thus, it is not the authors have declined in their own rationality, but are instead increasingly choosing to rationally avoid the increasing levels of conflict now present in every aspect of discourse.

Certainly, that explains why I avoid making statements without couching them in such doubt, even when I rationally know that such diminishes those statements potential impact. I’m better off falling short than getting knocked down.

I'm talking about steam accounts. There are many cheaters our there, who just dont care if they lose an account. They will cheat on an alternative Account and when they get banned, they will buy a new one. They dont even care spending some bucks on the Game again.
Edit: Take Rust as an example. A year ago, the Developers made some stats public: 12 Million copies sold, 600.000 Banned Accounts. Thats 5% of all sold Accounts.
There is even a Twitter Feed, showing all the Bans:https://twitter.com/rusthackreport
Most of the Accounts will show a Playtime of under 30 hours in the Game, mostly no Friends or other games, indicating they were only made for cheating.
I think these kinds of difficulties with dealing with people are a common but "normal" and "intended" part of life, and my 0.02 is that it's better to learn how to navigate and live with these situations instead of solving the issue by removing people from the equation.

I brought up bad people in part because some people do just suck, are toxic, etc., and often just cutting those people out is the right move. You're not really getting anything by letting them influence or affect you; it's just negatively affecting your quality of life.

But I think ~most people have some good and some bad about them. Things about them will annoy, bother, anger, or distract you, but other parts of knowing them will be rewarding and fulfilling to your life overall. So I think it's valuable to learn how to weather the bad so you can benefit from the good.
> Definitely yes, but let's not kid ourselves. Valve is not doing this from the generosity of their hearts or love for the Linux community, or the gaming community,

GOOD! That means our incentives are aligned, and the arrangement is much more likely to survive long-term.
The tech of "online dating" adds basically nothing over other means of being social online, while at the same time removing a huge amount of key affordances. Most sane people do not want to pick "dates" by swiping on shallow "profiles" of complete strangers in your general location. It's a hugely suboptimal model even for casual encounters (because even the most casual encounter is ultimately someone you'll need to trust and be friendly & playful with!) let alone anything "more serious" or longer term. Bootstrapping is the name of the game. Make friends you can trust via non-dating venues, and maybe ask them about their friends.

I don't really know if it explains why America became "less liberal" in that period, but it is also the period when the Republican party took back control of Congress in the 1994 election, which is known as the "Republican Revolution". It is also the period when Republicans controlled a majority of state legislatures and governorships. They did so by adopting a national strategy for the entire party, regardless of state, and this probably intensified some conservatism. When some state elections might have been localized, independents could choose either party depending on local context and issues. It used to be common to have a state with democratic senators and a republican governor, and vice versa. When the state elections are all "nationalized" as it were, you get intensification of political sides. In many respects, America is still in that situation.

You are also seeing backlash to Bill Clinton and his attempts at healthcare reform (this would come again during Barak Obama's term and the rise of Tea-party style conservatism against health-care reform and the ensuing spiral into present day conservatism).
43% more, in point of fact.

If an IAP is $15, then $4.5 of that goes to Apple. If you priced the direct payment option at $10.50, then $15 is 43% more expensive.

And this is the whole reason Apple doesn't want developers to be able to offer both IAPs and direct payment at the same time... it would make Apple look like the bad guy (a horrifying thought!), and they might feel pressured to lower their percentage to something more reasonable.

If Apple would switch to a usage based model more like AWS's where they charge for actual resource consumption (review requests, app store bandwidth, etc., maybe even with some kind of "free tier" to help very small developers who are still paying $99/year) then that would make more sense... but a 30% surcharge for every transaction is just absurd.

If credit card companies tried to charge 30%, the uproar would be so loud that no would be able to sleep for days, and you know businesses would instantly be offering steep discounts for people paying in cash. Apple has demonstrated that they want to eventually charge a 30% tax on all economic activity[0]... the App Store is more than just a place to download Angry Birds these days. Apple's 30% transaction fee is unsustainable. (I feel the same about Google's Play Store fees too, but at least Android allows sideloading and PWAs support push notifications there, giving developers and consumers some options.)

I looked into the case with Maddie, and it seems like there is NO published information on this case substantiating the claims made by her and her mother. Why is that?

--

Kids have gotten sick from the vaccine - but a lot more kids have gotten sick due to Covid.

You obviously feel very strongly about this, but no I don't see any evidence anywhere here that there was any intentional wrongdoing.

> Is it a problem, yes or no, that the adverse events that could be reported by participants in at least the Pfizer mRNA clinical trial for 12-15 year olds limited what could be reported by highly specifically creating a relatively short list of relatively minor potential adverse events? Yes or no?

It is hard to parse some of what you're saying, but what I think you're saying is is it bad that the app only permitted selection of certain things.

First, I don't know this is true. I haven't:

1) Seen the app

2) Seen multiple people talking about the app

3) Seen other apps used for similar trials

From what I know of end-users of software, and also what I know about parents and people who are politically motivated, I have a lot of skepticism about the claims in the video. Note I said skepticism, not that they are lying. I am skeptical.

I don't know if this claim is true.

But, let's assume it is true. There is another list of things I don't know:

1) Were there other ways to report these effects?

2) Is there a clinical reason why the app would be designed this way?

3) What else don't I know that should stop me from jumping to a really big conclusion? (that the entire world is in on some vaccine conspiracy).

Even if the answer is definitively "the app was designed to limit selection of adverse effects of the vaccine during the trial" there is a set of other things that I just don't know:

1) Was the app designed this way intentionally, or was it a consequence of poor planning? Or a bad software team? Again, being familiar with software, I'm skeptical that if we get this far (see all my previous points...) it was intentional

2) What else don't we know that we can't get from a ten minute video?

Your claims are remarkable - they need to be remarkably substantiated, and you're not doing that.

You're being a classic conspiracy theorist, just like I said in my first comment.
> Artists for the majority of history learned most of their trades on the job. We mythologize the education system as the only legitimate venue for learning when it's a fairly new invention.

People in this discussion keep bringing heavily educated individuals as examples of "schooling not needed". I don't know about Shakespeare specifically, but people use Bach or Einstein or Mozart as examples. People who had top education and/or came from families that made sure they were learning from early age - with teachers, tutors and formal schools.

If there is mythology alive, it is that these people had no schooling and went by raw uneducated talent purely. People just assume so and are so certain they dont even bother to verify.

> I would love to know what percentage of Legos revenue is now from adults buying the incredible large, complex and expensive sets to build themselves.

Small enough that I still can drive envy from every child in the store when I buy big Technic sets. Like the huge CAT Bulldozer (https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/app-controlled-cat-d11-bu...) from last year.
I think this setup illustrated ridiculousness of both sides.

You confront authentic (troubled) person doing what she wants with another human so meticulously styled, plucked, tanned and dressed at corporate expense, walking at extremely shot leash with every one of his words tightly controlled, with all the scripted emotions. He looks as if he was a voice box made of plastic.

With this contrast you see how bad the work is, even if antiwork is not perfect either at the moment.

You usually watch news as if it was normal. You look at news anchors as if they were people, not corporate half-robots. Only such contrast gives you a chance to see them for what they are.
20x more deadly per mile driven, all-weather, is a death trap.
Sure, I'm not going to tell you otherwise. Just that "ignore debt collectors" might be very bad advice with real-world consequences following people for years. Around here a mark in your negative credit report from courts means you're last in line for rental apartments, can't get a new mobile subscription, and a plethora of other nuisances.

>Engineers can become interviewers inside of their first six months at the company

I started this after 1 month at a company and it sucks. I think it makes sense for leads/managers to do interviews quickly after joining if they were hired to build a team, but seniors are sometimes not team leads at companies.

Key reasons why this will make your new employee uncomfortable:

- They probably don't know the company very well. You're intentionally choosing someone who doesn't know the company to represent the company. That's going to make them uncomfortable and it appears to be a bad decision on the company's part

- If you hired someone primarily for coding, you're throwing interviews in along with learning the code base and company and other teams

- If you didn't tell them they'd be interviewing soon after joining (they didn't tell me), your company appears deceptive

1984 is not boring; it takes commitment to read and think about the idea of "Power" it paints. Once you "get it" it can be Worldview altering. It may talk about "The Party" but that is just a stand-in for any Group; for example, think of any "Religion" and its hold on its followers.

Here is O'Brien's monologue on "Power"; read it and see how widely it is applicable - https://artist-tyrant.tumblr.com/post/69668613937/obriens-mo...

Honestly I think people also underrate how fun it is to add on to existing sets. This is harder to do with technic sets, but for the traditional block stuff it was easy enough to build the set to instructions and just keep building.

I've been doing more of this recently as I picked up some knock off mech based lego sets and adding more arms/building them more weapons/other things is fun way to make them look better.
You missed my point completely. It is only conservatives that pretend they do not cancel people. They constantly cancel people. Maybe even more than liberals.
I can think of many ways of 'sharing valuable memories' (etc). Facebook seems to have very successfully convinced many people ('hundreds of millions'), that they are the only service that can provide such.

The way I read this is that they had tech experience (e.g. not mowing lawns) but that it wasn't related to Shopify tech, so something other than Rails, JS/TS, etc. Still, it seems to me like as good a reason to get downlevelled as any. If you join a Rails company without Rails experience, I would expect a downlevel but an articulated path to "get back" to your current level faster than normal.
honest question: have you ever worked in a place that really pays attention to versioning?
It probably has to do with the post incentives. On Reddit, if you get downvoted into oblivion, your post disappears even if you get thousands of comments. On 4Chan, the more active the post, the more it gets bumped to the top. So being inflammatory on one makes your post disappear, and on the other it sends it to the top of the feed.
It's important to understand that there is a separate movement with some overlap in users called r/WorkReform that is the more "hey, let's fix shitty employment problems" while AntiWork is supposed to be a far anarchist position.

Of course, having a position does not make a plan tenable.

> So the claim is it was deliberately ineffective at getting kids not to take drugs because …?

The claim is keeping kids off drugs was probably never the real goal, and even if it was the program continued to expand to new places and be funded in existing places long after it was proven ineffective as anything but pro-police propaganda, which wasn't an accident by decision-makers.

Which reveals that even if keeping kids off drugs was once part of the motivation, it wasn't what sustained the program.
Thanks for the nice feedback :)

Other way around. The E cores run at 1GHz nominal, when processing low-QoS tasks the Pro/Max will ramp theirs up to about 2 in order to provide similar throughput to the M1 with half the cores.

The Pro/Max will ramp their e-cores even further when running high-QoS tasks (spilling over from the P-cores).

The M1 can turbo slightly when only 1/2 e-cores are in use, but under full load the e cores remain a hair under 1GHz.

I think you miss Valves motives entirely. They want to sell games.

Windows 8 was bad for them selling games. Microsoft showed their hand at wanting an Apple-like walled garden. They made their own OS to sell games. They want to sell games.

There are a lot more Mac users to sell games to than Linux users or even potential Linux users. Mac users are far more willing to pay for software. If you can sell more games to Mac users, that’s money from selling games for Valve. They want to sell games.
The BCD processing was indeed a big advantage of the V20, which is why Casio used it in graphing calculators like the AFX 1.0 and 2.0.

One point about comparing to the 8087 is that the 18-digit packed BCD format the 8087 used was converted internally to binary before doing any calculations. This lost the advantage BCD has of avoiding rounding errors between decimal and binary and was no better than regular binary calculations. The V20 BCD instructions didn't have that problem.

I sometimes read articles like, "why I left Google," or "why I left Facebook," and they're mostly a teardown of the company.

This article is generally positive. The author liked the people, had a positive sentiment of the interview process, was impressed by the tech stack, had a solid manager, etc. It just wasn't the tech stack they wanted to be working with.
It's awful but I know three of them that do basically that and they are earning quadruple the salary the PhD:s I'm working with.
+1 for an optimistic vibe of your comment.
Firstly:

* Python : Guido van Rossum

* Ruby : Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto

* JavaScript : Brendan Eich

The idea, as is clear in the submitted article and in the works it references, is that the best designs come from a single mind. Collaboration increases the amount of work that can be done, but also increases the amount of work that is needed to be done.

It's not claiming that changes should be made unilaterally and without consultation, it's claiming that designs are cleaner, clearer, and more elegant when there is a single mind guiding it.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the vibe I get from the article is that Lego has become less creative and more about marketing/profit; sort of faulting Lego. I think this shift to complex, structured sets says more about the parents than the company though. Unstructured/unguided sets are still available.

It seems many more parents today want brag about what their kid did, want some Instagram worthy end product, or instill that structured/conforming result-driven mindset today. Again, I could be wrong about all this. This certainly isn't every parent, but I just feel like it's a larger percentage than the past, just like the amount of time kids spend in structured groups/activities vs self-organizined friend groups running around the neighborhood.
It says in the quoted paragraph that they downlevelled him due to his answers in the interview, particularly soft questions. Soft skills are extremely important for a senior, much more than a mid.

Yes. Insofar as trading helps reveal the "true" value of a stock and thereby helps solving the allocation problem, it creates public benefit. And the companies financed by the equity markets create huge value, of course (parts of which they distribute by dividends or stock buy backs). But if you look narrowly at the gains and losses of trading, it's strictly a zero-sum game (well, negative sum, as the exchanges and market makers take their cut - though that cut in the good old equity markets is minuscule and far, far smaller than in the fancy new crypto exchanges which charge outrageous fees.)
No they wouldn't.

This reminds me of "Defund the Police", wherein supporters would try to convince others that the slogan did not literally mean what it says.

Like AntiWork, It seems to have been started by those who genuinely wanted to abolish the police. But as time went on people joined who instead wanted to reform the police by dramatically cutting back what they were meant to respond to. But the slogan stayed, and was very misleading and puzzling to most people.
This is kinda weird, CSGO has spinbots and xp-farming bots: one moves faster than is humanly possible, the other moves on the spot or in a circle with exact constant rotation ... the only conclusion I can make is CSGO want these bots, because auto-blocking them seems trivial.

Why use deep learning when so, so many bots (and their host accounts) could be blocked with trivial heuristics? My only guess is allowing spinbots/farming somehow provides a financial gain in CSGO?
