But not that much more even in small quantities.

If you exclude the time to dev the software, design the PCB, and assemble the tracker then you can knock up a NB-IOT module + GPS module + Microcontroller & supporting parts (to tie the two modules together) for about $30-$35 in small quantities, keep your data usage low and you can throw in a pre-paid IOT-NB sim for about $15.

EDIT: Its not gonna be as small as a AirTag, But if you wanted to tag something like a car you could get it into a small enough box to easily hide under it.

EDIT The 2nd: Throw in a movement detector, keep everything asleep unless its moved, before firing up the GPS/modem write your code so not to power up the GPS/Modem up unless a certain time as passed since the last known location fix, when you do fire up the GPS compare the location to the last known location so you only need to phone home if the distance as changed by a certain amount and you could get a decent battery life.

I think the real key is that Apple has recognized that App Store delays are a problem and has taken steps to quantifiably improve the situation. See https://appreviewtimes.com/. Anecdotally, the first version of one of my Apps was approved in < 8 hours. On another, more gray area app, it took ~1.5 weeks. Gone are the days of 4 week update delays. I’ve found that Apple’s release process has identified useful problems in my apps too.
> there IS still a global pandemic on.

Meh, I don't think pandemic is a binary term. If the perpetual flu pandemic is the baseline, for the forwardgoing 1 year I don't think COVID is going to be, e.g. 10x worse in deaths in vaccinated countries.
Very vague. Very, very vague.

> Maybe one should do the more principled Bayesian thing and just allow oneself to be uncertain proportional to the amount you don't know.

I think this still fails in the sense that the distribution representing one's beliefs is only defined with respect to a set of hypotheses. By invoking Bayes, presumably you acknowledge that different parties will come to the conversation with different priors. But critically, one can only update one's beliefs given both evidence and a likelihood function related that evidence back to hypotheses in the domain of one's beliefs.

The "our take" summary near the end of the article explicitly says that they would regard the claim as reasonable given the right explicitly definition of consciousness.

> The reality is that we don’t have a widely accepted definition, let alone understanding, of consciousness. Claiming that we have already replicated such a nebulous concept with computers seems improbable at best. Our take is that the claim could also be reasonable, but only if a particular definition of consciousness was specified as well.

If we’re going to talk about “drag on human progress and welfare”, there are much bigger fish to fry in the Tech world than a 30% surcharge by an App Store.

You could start with any social media company and in my opinion, they surpass anything Apple has done as far as a “drag on human progress & welfare”.
Thing is, marxist-communist-socialist countries don't even stay non-dehumanizing-regimes. Revolution happens, then terrible things kick in.. And then regime flames out over a loooong time. Usually accepting at least some parts of free market and plural democracy.

P.S. Your description of „socialism“ is a veeeery weird one. Apparently everything is socialist.
This scares me. Self-driving vehicles should be able to (and can be to date) be controlled by a human driver. This presents a couple of issues:

1. The car is now under the complete control of a computer - not a human driver. There are only a limited number of things the passengers can do to stop the vehicle or improve their situation in case of an incident.

2. It _requires_ a computer to make complex moral decisions about the safety of the passengers, dictated by the preferences/views/biases of the manufacturer/regulators.

It seems that we have crossed the line between "should technology solve this issue" and "could technology solve this issue".
Maybe that explains the why the question is there. They're just pre-qualifying leads for their recruiters.

When SSDs became the norm, performance stopped being an issue for most of my work. I can still push a machine to its limits with some of my work, but that’s not a surprise: modeling and simulation generally can saturate any system you use.

The only times I feel performance issues these days are in the self-inflicted category thanks to developers who adopted the write-once/run-everywhere/consume-all-the-resources mentality. I’m pretty convinced if those developers vanished and we had native apps for most things, performance would be a non-issue for most computing users who aren’t doing heavy gaming or resource intensive analysis tasks.
One cannot run 32-bit Intel binary on Apple silicon even via VM. I suppose VM vendors may eventually support that via emulation, but it will take a while.
It is interesting that recursion is still considered to be so novel on blogs and forums. From what I have seen of current CS curriculums, recursion is usually taught in the first year immediately after introductory CS. It is almost impossible not to use recursion when dealing with tree structures (using an explicit stack takes a lot more code, most coding interviews don't ask for an iterative solution unless absolutely necessary).

I know what you mean, but just pointing you're being to much of a pedantic person here.

Yes, toxicity in general is relative, does X cause harm to Y, depends on both X and Y.

But if Y is the general category of human beings. And with what we know as humans and of our feelings and that of others to some approximation. Then we can definitely predict some big categories of very likely to be toxic behaviors such as: shouting, insulting, punching, silent treatment, interrupting, denigrating, avoidance, ridicule, deprivation, personal attacks, lack of consideration, not listening, etc.

These become a pretty simple framework to have an objective measure of toxic interactions.

And that then can be codified into HR policies and societal norms and expectations.
I use Prisma and it’s far from perfect but what I love about it is you can introspect a legacy database and generate a Prisma schema, and use the database as the source of truth. You’re not tied to a 1:1 relationship between classes and tables, and the correctness of the types do not depend on tediously annotating code correctly. Excited to see more languages supported!

As other commenters have already mentioned, it doesn’t really matter how “broken” the App Store is as long as Apple owns the user relationship. Developers follow the user base, which is dependent on Apple’s hardware and overall ecosystem. Although Paul provides a few ad-hoc conversations with frustrated developers, it doesn’t seem like any of the issues mentioned impact the supply of developers for both Apple and its App Store in a meaningful way.

Paul suggests that Apple is “evil”, as if the company is immoral and intentionally aiming to harm a group of people (in this case, the App Store developers). I don’t see any “evil” intent here, and think that Apple intended to develop a feedback loop to incentivize App Store developers to improve quality control.

It’d be difficult to obtain, but what would be interesting to see is a graph of the following data points:

- The frequency of moderate to high-severity client-side bugs released for the same app to Google's Play Store and Apple's App Store.

- If there were ever times where Apple has tightened or loosened their approval process, the before and after on the frequency of client-side issues.

Although app developers have no control over the app approval process, one way to mitigate turnaround time risks in fixing issues is implementing as much logic as possible server-side (of course, there are definitely times where this isn’t feasible).
Do you feel strongly enough about any particular issue to inspire that sort of protest?
You also need a way to communicate back the tracking results, which presumably implies a SIM card and thus more opportunity to get detected (and linked back to you). But yes, in theory you can (and always could) do that.

The barrier to entry would be a lot higher though, as all that's needed here is 'microcontroller with Bluetooth'. And that really makes it dangerously easy.
Kids can always take more. There's always something you could be doing to help them, to improve their future prospects, to make them better-adjusted, give them better nutrition, give them some help with making friends or maintaining relationships, et c.

It's absolutely necessary to say "no" to that stuff pretty often. They can be "the priority" as long as that allows that a good deal of the time they actually won't be.

It's also not the case that one must only make that trade-off when there's some Greater Good in it for the kid(s). You don't give up your life because you have kids. The notion that you should is very modern and is still not typical in a ton of (non-US) cultures.

It's frustrating and an incredible waste of human potential.

Great writing and I agree with these points. I learned Racket by working through HTDP [1] and although I've never used Racket for anything other than those exercises it was totally worth it. I think it (the language and HTDP) massively improved the way I think through, organize, and write everything else.

No one wants to talk about this (or at least few), but in my experience, so much is being fed from the federal government, at least in the US, that changes at that level force massive changes system-wide. Without meaning to come across as reactionary, most of US academics and its problems are being driven by money flows from the federal government to universities via grant mechanisms.

I think like a lot of major problems, it will require a lot of changes coming from a lot of places.

One massive one, though, in my opinion is serious, significant changes in grant funding processes. There need to be big changes to how grants are awarded and funding decisions are made, and how those grants are actually funded. Moving to more of a lottery-style system (where everything above, say the 50%tile are entered into a lottery), and funding individuals are examples.

I also seriously believe indirect funds need to be cut. In the very least least indirect funds need to be line-item justified, rather than being based on some arbitrary percent cut or however they're negotiated now, with independent audits of the indirect funds to determine whether universities are asking for more than they're actually cost.

Some universities get around the indirect fund incentive structures in creative ways. For example, one place I know of takes all the indirect funds and redirects it toward university-grant support services at the university, so none of it goes into other activities, and it doesn't go to specific departments. But even that seems insufficient.

A lot of this is going to require other things, like trimming administrative bloat, democratizing university decision-making, punishing superficial promotion and tenure criteria, and increasing transparency about why universities are making decisions that they are. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I have no idea what's going to happen. Former federal agency heads have compared it to the pre-2008 financial bubble, and that's what it feels like to me. But how that bubble pops I have no idea. I could see the government coming in and cutting indirect funds; I could see something like indisputable proof of COVID being the result of a lab leak maybe causing a public outcry over what's going on; or I could see people just not going to grad school anymore and things drying up. Or maybe it will just get exponentially worse for awhile.

> Shouting at people during collaborative meetings is objectively toxic behavior.

Absolutely. I can't imagine a situation where I'd want to shout at another adult at work, I can't imagine being shouted at work either. In person, or on a web call. Hell, I don't even think I've had a shouting match with anyone outside of work. It just seems a silly way overall to try and resolve differences.
Ha! We’re still working up to that—this was “babysitter arrives after the kids are asleep & we’ll go somewhere in walking distance”. Same vibe, though.
C# and Java feels exactly the same to me now that Java has lambda/stream collection methods to match LINQ. Not sure how you feel there is any difference between the two. The only difficulty I have is when I have to work with Java Frameworks, even though I "never" use Java until I have to jump into a specific feature for other teams.
Overflow checks can be very expensive without hardware support. Even on platforms with lightweight support (e.g. x86 'INTO'), you're replacing one of the fastest instructions out there -- think of how many execution units can handle a basic add -- with a sequence of two dependent instructions.

At first this seems like a non-starter because it's a for-profit film so soliciting donations might be a hard sell. If it were advertised as pre-sale where you are basically buying a copy of the film before it's made, it might work. Still, $120M is a lot of pre-sales and you would be on the hook for refunds if the film were never completed.

Actual equity investors in motion pictures entitled to a share of the profits have to be "accredited", at least in the US.

Apple has the cash to deal with a union. The issue comes if the union gets greedy (by which I mean actually greedy, not asks-for-living-wage-and-benefits). At what point is it worth it for Apple to keep retail stores open if they're losing (more) money on them? Private sector unions are generally self-regulating; the company can only afford so much, and a balance is struck. In Apple's case, the unionizers may see a lot of upside, given Apple's massive cash reserves, and treat this like a public sector union negotiation.

Best-case: union is formed and negotiations go well, Apple retail employees are now well-paid people who like their jobs.

Worst-case: no more Apple stores.

Edit: to disclose my bias, I favor private sector unions, and despise public-sector unions. Collective bargaining should not control the taxpayer dime.
