> Hashim Yasir, 19, is an NFT project founder and crypto trader who lost “a good amount of money” in the recent crash. He tells VICE that it affected his mental health for some time: “[Up until then] I felt like I was finally getting pretty confident with this new skill, but it really felt like the market was officially going to drop to zero.”

I'm curious what he, and others like him, perceive this "new skill" to be, and exactly what led him to believe he had any degree of control over the outcome.
No, we are a sovereign nation. We've build it over hundreds of years into a place of great stability. Apple is only a corporation that has been around for ~60 years.
Ironic that you find that the frequently actuated button is the prime source of failure but refuse to adopt the newer models that require no button actuation, no?
I said the Eastern countries had the right to align their defense strategy to NATO's policy and values, even if for joining they had to meet certain requirements.

But the decision to apply or not was theirs and other NATO members welcomed them exactly because that was conforming to NATOs values and principles.

Most tellingly, these were countries that were in a similar treaty before with Russia - the Warsaw Pact. The one that crushed the Prague Spring. They knew exactly what the difference between the two treaties were.

Can you set up your router or PiHole to block the tracking domains? There has to be list of those.
I know, but in this case, from what I read, the antitrust authority said something about that in its original ruling, too, but a follow-up court case concerning that ruling scrapped that part of it, implicitly saying the 30% cut is not problematic/the antitrust authority didn’t argue well enough that it is (IANAL, and I don’t think the full history is online, so corrections welcome)

Because of that, I can see why Apple isn’t giving up the golden goose at the moment.
> I don't understand why you'd charge extra money for a 1k device to last 3 years

A question to the lawmakers.
I am not, you can add it as a data point. Its just work, you are probably not caring about your manager outside of your performance review. And thats fair.
>Perfectly inline with their attitude around the world ( apart from China ).

That's because the Chinese would shut their market to Apple if they would misbehave.
Europe is composed by 44 countries, a subset of those countries are part of European Union, more precisely 27, which also makes the Schengen Area with agreementes with external EU countries like Switzerland.

It is an exercise in geography to track down down which 16 countries don't care you have an ID card.

Eh yes and no. I’m a firm member of the function over form camp.

I’ve had Androïd for a decade after Apple forced an update to the iPhone 3G that made it so slow you couldn’t even dial a number anymore.

But a couple years ago, I bought a used iPhone 6s because I got tired of the Androïd flakiness and lack of quality in general. All my trust in google also eroded over time.

I don’t regret jumping ships again. The iPhone works well, I can still block all ads (except in the YouTube app) using nextdns.io, my 6 years old iPhone still gets updates and runs well. The only thing I miss is newpipe but the trade off was worth it.

The 50$ China androids you mention are riddled with spyware and provide few or no updates once the phone has been released. Then you have to deal with alternative roms if they exist which means you’re spending more time making your phone work that actually being able to use it normally.

Not saying it can appeal to some but it’s not for everyone if you want something that just works and is affordable.

I paid 200$ for my used iPhone 2 years ago and I’m keeping it until they stop proving iOS updates AND then new features in the new iOS would actually be useful to me.

I replaced the battery myself last year (cost 10$ + the ifixit tool set for 70$ which I’ve used many times to fix other things). It’s not quite 50$ but it’s not 1000$ either.

Edit: not talking about MacBooks. This is a completely different story with brain dead decisions to look good even if it fails constantly (their shitty keyboards of the last 4–5 years) or refusing to even acknowledge let alone fix serious issues (like that MacBook with the gpu desoldering itself and failing in groves while apple was saying lalalalala and ignoring the problem for YEARS. I won’t ever buy a MacBook, they’re not good value and I don’t trust Apple to make good decisions about them or own up their mistakes with them. Plus they cost multiples more than a decent used laptop or workstation on which you can run Linux and upgrade components whenever needed so it can last you 5–10 years.
Avalanche-based Atom rug pulls within a day of its launch, claiming a bug
Does your warranty period re-start when your device gets repaired or replaced?
Hah! from the point of view of the user, this is already possible even with password-based sites. Instead of logging-in with your previous password (which of course you forgot), you just claim that you lost it and request a recovery email each and every time. I do this almost systematically and I'm happy with that.
The Dutch authority has send a message between the lines in their public statements: this is just their first step, build a case, test the legal waters etc. They aren't intending to leave it with just this market and just these fines.
I'm sure many users don't use Home/End/PgUp/PgDown, since these keys are the first to go on majority of nowadays laptops. Even if there is plenty of space. And yet, I use these keys all the time. When I'm considering a laptop that's the first thing I check. Am I in a tiny minority?
The better approach is to escalate this from just the Netherlands to the whole European Union. Then Apple can ask itself to pull out of the whole EU market (which they aren't going to do) or to comply.
>No, we are a sovereign nation.

De jure or de facto?

I disagree. Obviously there’s no single rule, and we can argue about what causes what and what is just a correlation, but I think a lot of unhappy people are cynical, and cynical people are less likely to try and change the world, whereas a lot of optimistic people are happier people, and optimistic people might be more likely to be crazy enough to think they can change the world.
You're right but for the people who are confused, it's because of the semantics of the question. If you specify the question a little more and ask "What came first? The chicken or the chicken egg" then the question is how do you define a chicken egg. Is it the egg that comes from a chicken or the egg that a chicken hatches from.

In the first case, the chicken came first and in the second case, the egg came first. I think it's obvious the the second case makes more sense but some people might argue.
My 2 oils of choice are EVOO - fresh, for salad - and rice bran oil for frying. When researching smoke points and other oil related health issues I found bran and grapeseed to be the best for high heat cooking, with bran winning the tie break by affordability. What did I miss?
> What I mean is, if you look at a block of C code, it's very easy to understand what the machine is doing.

So they simultaneously understand what the machine is doing but don’t know what assembly will be generated? Both can’t be true.

If everyone understood what the machine was doing, everyone would be able to look at a snippet and agree - “that’s UB, let’s not do that”. But they can’t agree. Because few people understand what the compiler and the processor will do.

The “thin layer of assembly” was true for the first generation of C compilers. But it hasn’t been true for a long time. It’s a complete black box now. Anyone who thinks that it’s straightforward isn’t being upfront with themselves.
This sounds trite, but just sitting staring at nothing while waking up helps. I made it a point that my first cup of coffee is not spent in front of a screen or anything stimulating. I just try to blank out as much as possible, looking out the window or stepping outside helps. I find starting my day in the calmest manner possible helps me have better days, and picking up my phone first thing is guaranteed to make me miserable through the day.

I don't follow any sort of meditation practice, but having 10-15 minutes of just staring out at the sky helps tremendously. Honestly, staring at a wall would be about as helpful, it's mostly just about having the first bit of your day being calm and unstressful.

If I pick up my phone, first thing I see is email and slack notifications about what emergencies are happening, and that's not what I want to deal with when I've been awake for 5 minutes. Those things can wait, spending enough time to get slightly bored in the morning seems to be a better use of that time. I moved my alarm up 1/2 hour, and I feel less tired simply for being less rushed in the morning. Having to rush out the door and do things just makes me crabby all day. So simple suggestion, just try to allot a few minutes of calm at the start of the day.

I'm not a parent, but the parents I've suggested this too seemed to appreciate it even more, since early morning was their only truly calm time.
Exercise doesn't have to be at the gym. You can do fairly high level calisthenics with a weighed bag and/or Olympic rings

Not if the fine is directly proportional with income or profit. I believe fines in most of the world are stupid. Why pay $100 or €100 if you did something wrong? Pay x% of your income.

> I guess the scam is on the folks that took on the jobs and lost money over it. Some of the folks in the story upended their lives over this scam.

But that's what I don't understand, what was the scam? People upended their jobs, sometimes even quiting salaried positions, to sign a contract to work on commission for a 6 month probation period. And because their sales were zero, the commission was zero. That's not a scam. A scam is something which is a deception or a lie, not terms to which you openly agree to.

If you quit your job and go to work for a new company on commission, and then don't make any sales, you were not scammed. You made a poor job decision.

The only thing I can see approach a scam was all of the nonexistent people on the staff page, and I don't really see the point of that or how it contributed to anything.

To me this looks like a lot of people making poor job decisions, some out of desperation and some out of greed, but I don't see the scam or fraud element.
Care to give the part number?
Apple understands something many retailers have lost. The way you deal with the customer when they’re not happy turns you into a lifetime customer. And if it doesn’t it’s a small price to pay.

Costco, Nordstrom, Marine Layer, etc.

To me this is a winning strategy. Even if it’s 1 in 5 or less.
As someone taller than 6'1", I will say this advantage is, well, shrinking with the advent of WFH culture.

Multiple people have told me I surprise them with how tall I am when we finally meet in person, mostly because I keep my camera at the top of my computer, which gives a slightly down-leaning angle, as if they were looking down at me.

This could be used to a real advantage by putting the camera under the monitor. It's also not quite a flattering look so I avoid it, but I wonder if this is to my detriment...
I think any attempt at replacing the latin alphabet is doomed to fail. However, a spelling reform could easily standardize on a few letter combinations and perhaps include a few diacritics and make it much easier to spell and read English. It's never going to be possible to have a phonetic writing system given the variety of accents, but a phonemic writing system may be achievable. English writing also has many constructs that are not phonetic in any accent, and never have been - such as the s in island.
For big corp, illegal means possible increase of costs of doing business to a value calculated in advance.
On the other hand, you also have languages like Danish where the pronunciation is just as messy as English.

Because in lessonable stories it aids understanding to have only one lesson to assist in reducing confusion. But it's hardly a hard-rule and is often broken.
From the article:

> One man – a 33-year-old from Russia, who asked us not to share his name – told me he feels addicted to crypto, and is stuck in a cycle of trying to recover his losses but only losing more in the process.

We are at a point in time where everyone needs to be honest with themselves and acknowledge that crypto in general is, at best, just gambling, and should be treated accordingly, including acknowledging the problem of gambling addiction.
> If you have to pick a doctor or lawyer on looks alone, I recommend picking the shorter guy

Well, there is a consideration for management positions that says an appearance that evokes deference is a genuine qualification for the job.

And while it would be difficult to make that argument for doctors, it's not at all difficult for lawyers.

Treaties are not even needed.

They pull the same stunts in all countries and courts in a neighbouring legislation (e.g. Germany / France) could very likely impose similar fines.

The Dutch are just the first.

There are several EU wide directives in the cooker which aim to address such problems (DMA and DSA).

Apple probably sees the writing on the wall and tries to extract as much money while they can
Reality of how management creates a happy force:

1. Create company where you say u care about happiness but you don't actually do anything to make ppl happy. Due to randomness, some ppl will be happy, and those who happen to be treated badly will be unhappy.

2. Measure happiness (perhaps with an "anonymous" employee satisfaction survey)

3. Retain ppl who are happy.
No. False advertising can get you sued, hence advertisers are usually careful about any claims they actually make in an advertisement preferring not to claim anything and imply everything.
>You might dismiss these results if you believe that military data somehow doesn’t apply to the business world, but you would be wrong to do so. After all, the U.S. Department of Defense is the single largest employer in the world, dwarfing Walmart by nearly 1 million employees

I don't think anyone dismiss the data taken only from the military because of their workforce size & variety of positions (as indicated later) but because their task/goal is very unique to other private companies where the (primary) goal is making a profit, and the fact that at the military, sizable proportion of the employee might be in a high stress, life-or-death situation (the data was taken under Iraq/Afgan war) .

All in all this seems like a "checked all the boxes for a good study; but still whimsical result" kind of study. (I guess that's why it went to a low impact factor Journal)

I still would prefer HR people take recommendations from this article, such as: "Measure happiness in both employees & job candidates" at face value rather than wasting their time in BS Personality-type and pseudo-IQ tests for hiring/managing project groups

Edit: Might also add that (to me) it makes no sense to equate "getting a medal" to performance, when they also claim "Military also have non-combatant jobs!" as the basis for generalization of the study; yea but your success metric doesn't take that in to account? Does military-chefs get medals for extra-ordinary dishes? Does safety technicians get medals for "extra-ordinary safety"?
That part about how some people have strong opinions about what absolutely needs to be in a proposal, but if you look at a handful of successful ones, there's no clear winning recipe, really resonated, having recently gone through this for a similar ERC competition.

No way! Tools like meditation, working out, micro-dosing, sleep hacking, running, mindfulness, etc can only be beneficial, just like a hammer can only hit nails and never fingers. /s
This is very persuasive. Right now I don't know how anyone manages more than one. I currently feel like I have zero free time. The thought of adding a new born to the mix fills me with fear!
Are you sure they're getting the idea that they can look down at you from the fact that your camera looks down on you from above your screen, as opposed to the fact that they themselves literally look down on you as you appear on their screen?
I have multiple crypto trader acquaintances who send me pictures of complex dashboards showing the ‘moon’ predictions for FLURPCOIN2 and going ‘all in’. When the market slips down, they pop over a meme with something something HODLING diamond hands. This is the skill; mindless optimism against all odds. It works for them as they got in early in 2016 (some even earlier) and from then to now, they all made a killing. For some of them it would literally have to drop to 0 for them to make losses. But I can see that it would be a drama for the ones who got in last year and went in with the same optimism.
The Maxims of Ptahhotep (circa 2350 BC)
Sure, you can technically call other rust code from async rust and thus you can also technically call C code via FFI, but if that code blocks you have a problem. There are ways around it but they are hard to use and create the pressure towards just rewriting the whole thing in rust.

I could be wrong though. The reason I like to discuss these things here is the opportunity to be proven wrong by someone who knows more and offers a counter-example
It's a shitpost-- blockchain wouldn't even have helped him here because he posted number 12 after hers.

But now I'm wondering who exactly is upvoting the comment.

To be clear-- Bitcoin is an energy-gobbling database sync party trick. We would have been better off wildly exaggerating the potential of sleep sort for the past decade and a half.
>I see little or no evil intent

Evil in its absolute form rarely exist.

Most evil are created by those who think themselves as so righteous.

My definition of evil includes hypocrisy.

Most of these so called "clumsiness" has been here for years. Most of the current strategy of services revenue growth started in 2014. We are coming close to a whole decade. I think we have given enough benefits of doubt to Apple.

I have been suspicious of Google even in 2005 when they started building their own browser, it took the whole world 10+ years to turn their view from media darling to privacy invading company.
Some other instantly recognizable flags include Alaska (Big Dipper, though it’s hard to see from far away), New Mexico (sun symbol), Arizona (sunrise), South Carolina (palm tree), Tennessee (weird circle with stars), DC (white with 2 red bars + 3 red stars, Washington’s coat of arms), Maryland (nightmare that it is), and Puerto Rico (blue triangle with a star, 5 red/white stripes).

And avoid their SSD's too with the the 980 Pro, Samsung has just changed the components but kept the same model number.

Samsung have removed the Elpis controller from the 980 PRO SSD and replaced it with an unknown one, and also removed any speed reference from the spec sheet.

Take a look here for what's changed on the 980 PRO:

Fighting for change profits from desperation at the state of the world, which tends to be incompatible with happiness. It can work out, of course.
Maybe that's an exaggeration but t definitely seems like a whole order of magnitude extra difficulty.

If you play a wrong note, you can slow down and practice more. If you do it ten times and still get it wrong... all you can really do is... just practice more. How long will it take? Who knows?

It's like programming for a computer that randomly inserts errors on 1%-5% of lines.

With programming, there is near zero challenge to implement something. Once you know what the bug is, you almost always know how to fix it, and are able to do so.

And once it's fixed, it stays fixed. The whole industry has collectively worked for decades to move as much of the work out of the coder's head and onto the CPU.

With any other activity, understanding means basically nothing. You have to somehow get your hand to physically do it. And you have to be able to remember the whole thing.

You have to learn one part, and then learn the next part. But if you forget the first part you have to completely start over, and none of it goes anywhere unless you know it all at once.

With programming... I have no idea how the code I wrote a month ago works. I might not look at it for a year. It's done, I've moved on, no ability to put anything beyond the most vague overview in long term memory is required.

I have no idea how people do ANY real life activity to a professional level.

Programming seems like not a challenge at all compared to even normal everyday things, even grade school level math, or any other occupation.

Even being a cashier requires being able to see the number on the screen, figure out how many dimes and how many quarters that is, all in just a few seconds, then physically count them out, with close to zero error rate. You could be fired at 5% wrong change complaints.

An accountant could probably be in trouble if they wrote down the wrong number 0.5% of the time or less.

Programming is one of the only professions that has the ability to retry your basic mistakes.

Every other activity relies on some inherent capacity to practice and become reliable at something.
