Being anonymous is a big part of this. There is very little consequence of being controversial online if you're just another person posting (and not, say, a celebrity where your presence means something offline too). The most might be people noticing that one particular person is stirring up trouble (and block them). Offline conversation has the benefit of being in real time. The other person almost has a social obligation to listen and respond. In addition, you know it's a real person that you're talking to (although, with people spending more time online, their real-life etiquette has changed for the worse; people shout, berate and threaten others like there is no consequence). Online conversation is static; you can ignore it, and nobody will know. Anybody can read it at any time as if you were continously shouting it. Nobody is obligated to respond or pay attention. You have no idea if the person responding or commenting is real, or is just a bot, or is a troll trying to make you irrational and angry. It's terribly confusing.

> There are now works designed for use on induction (with aluminium conduction to achieve a heat gradient), and they work pretty well.

This perspective drives me crazy. OK, so induction cooktops are good for the environment. But flat bottom woks are not woks, and you can’t do wok cooking on an induction cooktop. The only people who think that you can, are people who completely lack an understanding of wok cooking techniques.
That idiom isn’t really applicable to online discussion forums, at least not unless the user in question has actually been shadowbanned.

The idiom comes for fighting battles with absolutely devastating casualties to capture positions of very low strategic importance. Establishing consensus that woks may only have round bottoms may fulfil the last part, but having people write a few counter-arguments is by no means a devastating loss, it’s just the discussion forum serving its intended purpose.
Is the app preview supposed to be some fast paced flashy promo video? I think it’s annoying, scammy and tells me little about the app and its functionality to be of utility to me. Going to side with the App Store reviewer on this one.

Said with an air of authority despite plenty of evidence that single person LLCs have a veil that is not pierced by the law.

The proper answer is, consult the precedent of prior cases in your state, that will tell you how strong the LLC holds up in any particular jurisdiction. A lawyer in your area will also know this better than a lawyer in other areas. It’s not a one-size-fits-all answer, and in general the LLC typically holds up well. Regardless of the number of members.

Hence my response. It clarifies my intent. Your response to me indicates that you are now aware of what I'm communicating. Thus it might be a worthwhile exercise to address that rather then go on some needless tangent on some misinterpreted wording.

Additionally grammar matters. Technically the english meaning of my sentences do not imply what most people believed I said.
> I've seen a lot of people make this claim, but I find it hard to believe that basically every website on Earth is violating GPDR with the nag screens

It's not hard. It's enough to look at those screens.

And the reasons are simple:

1. Too many devs believe, like you do, that it's the law that is bad, and not, you know, leeches and parasites who collect and sell personal data left and right.

This is not helped by the fact that most devs outsource this to parasites like OneTrust, and Digital Advertisment Alliance, and Interactive Advertising Bureau, and... who promise you to provide you with "GDPR-compliant dialogs" which is a blatant lie.

So, you get a proliferation of dialogs like these: https://twitter.com/dmitriid/status/1347577262682607616

Do devs like you care? No. Because "law bad I read it on HN".

Oh, aand don't forget "analysts and experts" like Startechery who argue that GDPR is a disaster because Facebook has a trove of private user data it collected without consent, and potential new social networks in Europe cannot collect private user data wholesale https://stratechery.com/2021/the-webs-missing-interoperabili...

2. Too many devs couldn't be arsed to read anything about the law even though it's now been 6 years since it was introduced.

There are people in this thread who are in all seriousness stating that a 13 chapter law is hard, and vague, and complex, and long. Newsflash: human activity is complex, and vague, and long. And GDPR is one of the simpler and more concise laws out there.

Moreover, data protection laws have existed in European countries for literally decades. Where were you and other bemoaners? Oh, right, you either didn't know or ignored or broke those laws. Well, EU countries got together and said, "okay, our national laws are clearly not enough, we'll create an all-encompassing law that is applicable to the whole of the EU and specify what you get for breaking it."

Another half-decade passes and cue in developers who still couldn't be assed to not siphon and sell personal data, and who blame the law.

> find the law vague and feel like they

like they couldn't be bothered to read even the smallest bit of info on the law, didn't do it before GDPR (when other data protection laws existed, and those laws still exits today), and haven't bother to read and understand anything about the law in the 6 years since. Does your business even pay taxes, or "nah, the law is too complex"?

All laws are vague. Because human activities are too complex to properly define and describe. Is GDPR vague? Yes, for some activities. Is it so vague as to be unimplementable? No, for the absolite vast majority of cases. Does the ad and tracking industry care? No. Do you care? No, you believe what the ad and tracking industry tells you.
Perhaps because software on its own is unlikely to hurt people, while we have seen plenty of physical products causing deaths and mutilation: Failing car breaks, cellphone batteries catching fire, strollers cutting off fingers, playground structures collapsing and so on. It only takes a few shitty products in a category for regulations to be set up
I probably chose the wrong time to take time off, and travel to SEA for three weeks. Halfway expecting to land there and spend the next few months in lockdown. Wonder how HR will take it.

The (Generic) Repository Patterns are some of the most anti-patterns created and goes fully agains't DRY and SOLID, it's like whole generations of developers are just on the same cargo and have never worked with a database( or datasource) having more than 1 table.

So it looks great for a blog post, for a linkedin thought leader article, but when actually used, you end up duplicating the same shit over and over and over unless you use extension methods. But then why having the damn Repo patterns with the basic methods in the first place?

These patterns are just awful and don't solve anything, abstraction of the DB? You don't need that pattern for that.
> I really, truly don't understand how any bank in the year 2022 can only give you 1 year of electronic access, but this is actually the case!

I suspect this is so they don't have to spend lots of time (without compensation) dealing with buckshot demands due to IRS audits. By the time your tax returns are audited, they've deleted all the statements relevant to the year being audited.

Obviously all the transaction data is still there in their computers, but I suspect that if it isn't accountholder-accessible it's easier for the bank to say "we're not dealing with you unless our regulator or a court says we have to". Either of those routes ensures the IRS has to waste roughly as much time/money as the bank does.
The sheer amount of Chinese and Russian IPs showing up in my SSH logs indicate the answer is 'plenty'.

> GDPR could've easily standardized on an extension to P3P.

GDPR isn't just about websites. It covers collection of personally identifiable information in general. So it applies to apps, games, your physical interactions with various companies etc.
> The military has some additional protections

Feel this is somewhat an understatement, it's cryptographically signed and encrypted, as far as protection goes it's wandering onto an active battlefield naked vs being in a modern tank.
Okay, my first name is Ariel as well, and I gotta say -

This is awesome. You're an inspiration, bro.
I actually don't fault reviewers at all. Given the scope of the App Store, I suspect most are overworked and underpaid. The issue is how this situation is supposed to be resolved. You shouldn't suddenly block a bug fix over an issue that's existed for 18 months.

A straightforward solution would be a temporary warning before the block. "Hey, we know you were approved before, but now that we caught it, it needs to be fixed. We're letting this update through, but please fix this problem within two weeks or we will block future updates."
Thr best option for you is- Gradient Paperspace and Colab. Both are free and managed.

Learn Machine Learning first. Do not spend time on managing infra for ML while you are learning ML. Focus on learning ML first.

You can make decent cutting edge models and SOTA classic models just with free options. I am saying this because I have done this.

I suggest that you get Colab Pro after that.

AWS burns a hole on your pocket, and you should not spend money on that now. Although, AWS SageMaker is pretty tension-free experience.

I personally use GCP. I like the tooling around it to be the most convenient.

I suggest you learn the basics first. Learn classic ML, CNNs, RNNs, LSTM, Transformers, learn the necessary Maths, and even GANs if you are inclined.

If done in the right way, it will take you a 5/6 months to 18/20 months, depending on your time commitment, your current levels of grasp on programming and Math.

Do not rush or hurry.

When you reach that point, you can think of spending serious money for Deep Learning projects.

A few months back, I have gotten into TPUs, and these are fantastic. And GCP is my only option for these. I have only used TPUs for learning and personal project and never for work. I intend to keep it that way for a while.

> I have also yet to meet anyone who is happy with running Linux on their computers, even those whose preferred desktop operating system is Linux (as is mine). The people I know were the happiest are those who ran it under Virtualbox as their main OS for work (while running the Virtualbox itself on macOS or Windows obviously) because then they only have to worry about it working on Virtualbox and even then they encounter issues all the time.

And yet there are millions of people that do run linux and like it (using virtual box to run linux is like licking lolipos covered with plastic).
Sure there are sometimes issues, but in 90% of time it is for new hardware (and that is reduced nowadays - e.g. intel sends patches to kernel ahead of time) and my play with compiling new kernel versions :)

It is not a system for grannies (unless it was setup by someone else at the beginning - then it can be, I saw it used like one) - it is mostly system for powerusers, those that don't need to push alt/opt to show a hidden menu option.

I think it is pretty self explanatory.
I used learned behavior as a synonym to deliberate construction in the sense that we construct things from what we learn.

But let's say you're right. If that's the case, then you're entire response is off base. You claim I am implying it's "Deliberately constructed." How could I imply something was "Deliberately constructed" if I asked it was "learned" or "related to synesthesia." Neither of those options involve "deliberate construction."
I'd guess it's either a flat-out lie, or they described a hypothetical perfect version of the system and counted someone as positive if they thought there was even one slightly good thing about it.

Yes, non-enforcement is bad. But, thankfully, we're slowly seeing an uptick in enforcement.

For example, lazy devs everywhere use IAB's "GDPR-compliant dialog". Which isn't. Hopefully they will be fined the maximum fine applicable under GDPR: https://techcrunch.com/2021/11/05/iab-europe-tcf-gdpr-breach...
Why are they locking down for a variant that is less severe? Why aren't they accepting this is the best we'll get, and the sooner omicron becomes endemic the better. Rip off the bandaid.
Basically the same as now. People coming in from abroad quarantine for 14 days. Whenever there's a case, they trace and test everyone they've been in contact with, and also the second degree contacts. For one case, they tested more than 10,000 people, off memory.

You're exactly right. Even these measures do not work to contain omicron. The only thing that's changed over the past two years is that the new strain is so much more contagious.
I don't agree that these are real pain points.

Try to build desktop app in Ruby or in Python, no one cares about desktop apps. If you want to build native desktop apps you go with QT or something C++ based.

.NET branding being confusing is a theoretical problem. When you work day to day with the code you don't care and it does not affect anything I work on. It is not like it somehow affects compilation or some of my code stops working. I use .NET 4.8, .NET standard and .NET Core and now .NET 6 in projects and no problems there.

I don't think we're even digging through the crust - there'd still be the mantle (~100x thicker) before we got to the core.

In numbers, I believe the deepest borehole is ~12km deep... and the Earth has a radius of >6000km. We're barely scratching the surface.

There are a few industries that will have to consolidate now that the pandemic seems to be calming down.

Anecdotally I know of several small businesses that switched from an unrelated field to importing and selling medical and related supplies.

Testing clinics have also grown and their size will no longer be sustainable due to reduced demand.

Thee has also been a boom in delivery businesses that were sustainable when demand was overwhelming but will no longer be viable, restaurant and grocery in particular.

They also will have knock-on effects onto other businesses such as packing material. If restaurants deliver a lot less they'll need a lot fewer take-out boxes, etc
Yes, due to omicron.
If the government passes a law that makes it worse for the people, it’s a bad law.

See also the “War on Drugs”, “War on Crime”, etc.

Either it’s a bad law or a badly enforced law. Either way it shows the government’s general ineptness.
It looks just like the style of an Apple iPhone commercial, but beyond it, take a look on the App Store. I did, and some of the top/featured apps’ app previews (YouTube, TikTok, Super Mario Run, Discord, Nike Run Club) are really no better.

Maybe the video could’ve slowed down its pace a little, but the photo editing jargon is presumably noteworthy to actual hobbyists and professional photographers, who would appreciate the technical specs.

Finally, the app preview was rejected for how the preview was framed, sounds like the reviewers were fine with the content besides the formatting.
IANAL but it pays to discuss these clauses with your future employer prior to signing and to get what was discussed in writing. If you can't get it removed, modified or clarified to your satisfaction you might want to seek employment elsewhere.

I mentioned this in my OP. It is becoming clear also to policy makers that these measures are not enough for omicron, and also are not logical when the strain is so mild.

You can't tell from "statistical significance" if a firing is good or not. Maybe those three people have needed to be fitted for a while. Maybe, as the article says, it comes down to job-fit and the three employees are great people in the wrong job.

There are bad managers. But you can't identify them solely based on numerical analysis of turnover.

But even now, given that China is such a huge country, I think that the fraction of people inconvenienced by lockdown measures and other disturbances is smaller than in most western countries. Here in Germany, they are lifting most restrictions soon, but for example a lot of teachers are sick - which affects the childrens' parents as they can't go to work, and then their colleagues, and so on. It will take a long time until everything is back to normal.

So far, the suppression policy seems to pay off for China.
It’s amazing the costs China are willing to bear for this.
