He specifically says "and of course the production budget was tiny, less then $100k)" and further down the thread "Although we didn’t work with a traditional ad agency I’d be remiss not to mention the creative firm we worked with who actually created the ad, commissioned the song, got the clearances etc etc. Honestly, felt like we were all one team so I didn’t fully realize it, thank you!" so it sounds as if they paid a creative firm <$100K to create it which isn't hard for me to believe if they couldn't do it in-house.

Ah right, I had overlooked that, never having seen the word "lorawan" before.

I honestly have no idea how widespread LoRaWAN is, but I would be very surprised if it came anywhere close to the coverage you can achieve using Apple users carrying your uplinks around unwittingly. (Especially if you are attempting to track an Apple user.)
Yes, sadly. Google is operating on a “what can we get away with?” attitude vs a “what is possible?” one. No single 3P has power to change the system.

That syntax is important. It's specifying that the the collection `Elements` contains values which are the same type as `Element`. Sure, those are probably bad names for the generic types (though better than `T` and `U`). But you need some way to express that the `Element` type is the same as the contents of the `Elements` collection.

The SQL analogy is a good one– what the function signature is doing is specifying a constraint between 2 otherwise unrelated values. Otherwise you could call the function with an array of `String`s an ask it for the index of an `Int`.
I'll Be Against the Next “Good War” Too
You'd also need a LoRaWAN network to hook into.

But most importantly, I doubt you could build a LoRaWAN tracker as compactly as an AirTag. A beacon would use significantly less electricity and therefore require a smaller battery.

Below is one of the smallest LoRaWAN modems on the market, which by itself is marginally bigger than an AirTag. Now add batteries, GPS, antennas, and an SoC to drive the whole thing.

> people defending yelling at people.

The probability is unusually high that they personally yell at people in collaborative meetings.
Yeah, that's the way the commenter I responded to wants me to view it, but I'm skeptical of that way of looking at it. I view it as specialization, where two people each utilizing their strengths can accomplish more together than they would by simply aggregating their separate products. Why would I demand that someone who excels at research must necessarily be a fantastic writer, and why would I exclude a person who can make meaningful contributions to human knowledge but nonetheless needs help communicating? If results are freely shared (which is why open-access is so important!) science is not a competition because "less wealthy" and "wealthy" institutions but rather a collaborative process working toward shared goals.
Yep. Definitely shows opportunities for getting value out of zero-day exploits next Superbowl. If you can find a straightforward-to-monetize attack that works on either of latest iPhone or Android, I'd imagine it would be easy to cover the cost of running the ad. And behaviorally, I have to assume that folks would consider a QR code on their TV a more "trusted source" than, say, an unsolicited e-mail, so you can probably even get some behavioral co-operation.
Ultimately, you ran into reality: That no matter what story these companies sell you on their mission, a 30% profit margin is a 30% profit margin, and not a single person is going to stand in the way of that much profit.

Since you're a groupie perhaps you know and could share -- how are these concrete block homes doing almost a century after Wright started using the system described here? Are they known to have serious structural issues from rusting steel / cracking concrete? Especially because this article says "relatively unskilled labor could easily erect the walls", and because it was a new approach, I'd wonder if water would have gotten in and damaged these walls more quickly than with modern reinforced concrete (which often seems to not last long).
Web apps cannot use certain features, eg. Bluetooth, and it will for sure be less user-friendly and responsive than a native app.
The way that scientific publishing has evolved into a cartel-based business with insane barriers to entry has a lot of parallels to the healthcare industry in the US. The core problem with both is a disconnect between users and payers — in this case, readers vs. libraries.

What makes the whole situation bearable, in my opinion, is sci-hub. Nature or whoever can charge whatever prices they wish, it makes no difference to my point of access. Even during times when I have legitimate access, it’s still often simpler to just find a paper on sci-hub.

Thank goodness for pirates.
I heard that the first approach of google was using/adapting an published algorithm which was used to rank scientific publications from the network of citations. Not sure if this is the algorithm you mentioned though.

I suffered from anxiety too in my 20s. Between 14 to 29 years were the worst years of my life (so far). Since then, life has been getting better.

Something that caused me a lot of suffering was a feeling that I was running out of time. I see that now, but back then I couldn't even describe this anxiety. I couldn't even realize the anxiety in me. It's like there was no life after 30. This made me make a lot of mistakes and waste a lot of time because I was obsessed with achieving results instead of focusing on the process.

I've been thinking a lot about 20 year old me lately. To the point that I'm even considering writing a book, a newsletter, or something.
From the wikipedia page of Robin Li, co-founder of Baidu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Li#RankDex

> In 1996, while at IDD, Li created the Rankdex site-scoring algorithm for search engine page ranking, which was awarded a U.S. patent. It was the first search engine that used hyperlinks to measure the quality of websites it was indexing, predating the very similar algorithm patent filed by Google two years later in 1998.
lots of solid research work on distributed consensus, layered voting, and "deep democracy" existed 20 years ago, on paper. Yet we got a decade of Facebook and spy-oriented DNS tricks, for the masses.

I love, love living in Finland. It has brought me much joy. In a way, when I go back to the US to visit, I have a weird feeling that I'm leaving a more civilized place to a one that is still quite civilized, just, a little less civilized.

Finnish is not impossible. It is difficult in some respects, but really a good half of the difficulty stems from the fact that nearly everyone speaks English and experiences myötähäpeä (vicarious embarrassment on your behalf) when you struggle with it, so they will step in immediately with English rather than watch you dangle on the hook. It's a rare treat when someone refuses to, or cannot, speak English and we're forced to speak only Finnish.
It's a really strong game if you judge it on its own merits. I had played through most of disc 1 of the original just before it came out, and I liked all the extra detail that the remake added to the gameworld. It's a shame it's not all of FF7 but if they eventually remake the whole game with this level of detail then its future is very exciting!
If you're defending people yelling at people, you probably won't be pointing out that they are misguided if they think yelling is acceptable.

However, the claim being made was that this yelling was a trap that was intentionally set to drive Chris out and not just a case of someone who thinks yelling is acceptable behavior.

Sure, but I hope it's easy to understand that it's orders of magnitude easier to just buy an AirTag (including "silenced" ones from eBay or wherever) and drop it in someones purse or coat pocket, or attach it to their car.

Pretty much no regular stalker is going to design and build their own GPS+cellular tracker. Even if someone were to do that and then sell them online, the barrier to finding and buying those are still probably going to be higher than getting an AirTag. And the battery won't last anywhere near as long as well. And also consider that the software running on it, as well as the cloud service that lets you check the location, doesn't just magically appear either. Someone has to build and host that as well. Even a lower-tech solution that just emails a location report every few minutes still requires work to build.

Yes, it's absolutely possible, and not super difficult, to track someone using a GPS+cellular device. But it feels really disingenuous to claim that tracking people was just as easy to do for your average stalker pre-AirTags.
It's a slippery slope.

First it starts with a simple non-dynamic ad, then after someone checks the CTR, they make it bigger by 20% to get 1% more CTR.

Then it becomes an animated banner for another 1% CTR.

And then we have a sidebar to carry another ad but vertical this time, etc. Eventually, the interstitals arrive.

Remember the good old days when Google ads meant it was a text only ad?
That’s probably both a cultural (especially if you are from the US - which I am not) and personal “issue”. I actually do feel like that sometimes though. Not in the sense that I need to leave a big inheritance. Just make enought o help my kids out when they need it, as my parents helped me.

But in the end, the only thing you need to leave behind, is love. That’s the pressure I think one should feel. No child needed money more than a loving parent who was attentive and a caring presence. Sure, if you can be that and leave some $$ after you pass, good on you. But money comes at a price, and only lottery winners get that ride for free.

> The Swift Team really needs to take a step back, and actually start removing features and simplifying the language drastically if they want it to succeed. At his point there is a great chance that Swift is becoming a liability for Apple and it may actually impact its app ecosystem negatively in the long term.

So. This. I have been a long time Apple fan. I noticed many years ago that they had a disproportionate representation amongst creative programmer types. I was intrigued and have come to understand why. It's not perfect, and Apple pisses me off some days, but overall the ratio of "It Just Works/WTF?" has been higher for me than other platforms.

As a Smalltalk guy, Objective-C was tragically comic, but nevertheless effective. It was like talking cavemen with your partner, and giggling about it, but you could still get stuff done.

When they announced Swift as "without the C", I was originally excited/intrigue. Despite some original surprises, I soon told peers "I've always hated C++, this feels like a decent compromise that I could like."

For quite some time, I've prototyped first on iOS, refined, and then replicated in Android. Because it was easier/better in Apple's stack than it was in Android.

At this point, I've given up. It's as complicated as C++, maybe more so. The Android development story is not all that much easier (Kotlin improves some things, but it's still Android), but Apple has actively lost their edge (for me) due to the added complexity.

I still write Swift on a pretty regular basis (I maintain/evolve 3+ apps with it). But to the point, I no longer want to. I'm actively interested in an alternate method of writing app UIs.
You or I could probably do that, but that's well beyond the technical capabilities of your average would-be stalker.
If you've advanced protection running then you're a dyed-in-wool Google user (hard core type) so I wouldn't even try.

I'm the exact opposite. I root my Android machines and remove every trace of Google's crappy gumph, Gmail etc. (I don't even have a current Google account.)

I occasionally use the Google playstore but I log on anonymously with the Aurora Store app (not available on the playstore).

I say occasionally because that's true, instead I use F-Droid or Aurora Droid to get my guaranteed spyware free apps. It's a different world - I'm the antithesis of the happy Google user.

Don't try to load NewPipe, in your case it's just not worth the effort (and Google will notice the fact).

Maybe. He seemed to really want to come to the US but the performance and behavioral issues made it a big no. I don’t think he would have passed the stricter requirements anyways.

One of the things he ranted about was how his kids attended public school in French. I mean, here in California public schools operate in English because it’s what the people speak. In Quebec it’s logical they would operate in French in a French province.

Objectively, software bets are less risky than 20 years ago. There are more well understood business models, more ways to reach customers, fewer technical risks (putting a consumer website meant dropping 7 figures on hardware and hoping you had the right team to make things work), and a better understanding of what a defensible business looks like.

On the flip side a reduction in risk is no guarantee of success, there are new risks related to having ~100 copy cat companies - or having your business replicated by a mega-cap. Lower risk means lower barrier to entry.

Some retain memories from that age range, but it isn't the norm, sure. I definitely had strong memories from age 5 or 6 that lasted well into my teen years, which surely had an effect (they were mostly bad ones—I used to do some terrible ruminating at night).

Agree with he overall point that poorer material circumstances in the 0-5 age range likely has little effect, provided it's not to the point that basic things like good nutrition become a problem.

> Certainly on the other hand, it makes some things easier if you don’t have to sweat the cost of a doctor visit, but it’s hardly prerequisite.

Child care and healthcare costs in the US pretty much ensure that anyone with young kids who doesn't have a household income well over $100,000 is gonna feel like they're struggling. There's so-poor-you're-getting-quite-a-bit-of-assistance, which obviously feels like struggling (because it is), and then there's a big window of diminishing assistance in which those two things (especially) tend to eat all your extra income, before you finally hit a point at which it feels possible to keep your head above water without cutting expenses to the bone. It's easy to spend north of $30,000 on those two things per year, if you've got a couple kids and don't have absolute top-tier employer-provided health benefits (very few have that, and they tend to have huge salaries on top of it), and that's without splurging for, say, some super-fancy day care/school. And that's if no-one in your household has any health problems that year! And without costs for diapers, or clothes (very cheap, mostly, just buy used and in bulk), or food, or anything else. The only way to significantly diminish those costs is to have family that can take over most or all of what would otherwise be paid childcare, or to have one parent stay home, which usually only makes (financial) sense if you have lots of kids and the parent staying home had fairly low earning potential.
