You're describing the effects of bad laws and a lack of competition in the payment processing industry.

Here's how it should work: You go to a website and give them your payment info. They initiate a payment request. If this is the first time you've ever paid them, you have 30 days to deny payments to that merchant. They don't get paid until then unless you manually approve them sooner.

Then they can make future payment requests and get paid immediately until you revoke them. Subscription scammers get revoked, bye bye subscription scammers.

But we don't have working standards for payment processing (a regulatory failure) so we don't have competition and payment services don't offer this feature. Then you want Apple to do it at the cost of 30%, centralization, censorship and other costs we ought not to be paying if we fixed the underlying problems.

Real "free speech" is hard and prohibitively expensive to maintain.

But if we can accept that there's not "right" without "wrong" or a coin's "tail" without a "head", we can sympathize with those we deem unworthy of "free speech".
Given that few people currently live in those places and national borders are unlikely to go away in the next hundred years (while there's a pretty clear path to ecofascist isolationism if we screw this up), perhaps "it's not optimistic enough" is a little bit of a reach of a criticism.

glad to hear thoughts! - I've thought of this being a need before.. and then ended up in hospital for extended time and realized that without me doing deposits and paying bills, things can get disconnected and perhaps erased.. this could be a method to help people on extended vacations or to put small projects on auto-pilot while they focus on other things.
Need to make this happen.
I could help, but not sure I can pull it off with current knowledge and skills.

District chromebooks are for in-school use only. You can't take them home. This is for homework.
I would do the factory reset again and then not use that account anymore. If you want, you can create a new local-only account and then (this is the important part) sign in to the school Google Classroom on another browser. Install Firefox, Brave, something, and use it for the school account rather than Chrome. Chrome allows extensions installed to it to run in the background and manage the system, but another browser cannot.
> Does anyone know how to refer these people to law enforcement for prosecution?

You can simply look up the phone number for any law enforcement agency you want and call them. None of them are likely to do anything, however; even if there was a crime involved, they have no obligation to pursue anything, and it's almost certainly not something that is on anyone 8nnlaw enforcement’s list of priorities.

What you probably want to do is contact a lawyer and see if you have any civil law remedies.

Even if they are things you will eventually pursue in small claims court, you absolutely can get advice from a lawyer on causes of action and what you need to do, but in general forcing a behavioral change—equitable remedies—are not available in small claims (which mostly just allows limited monetary recovery) and you'd need a lawsuit in a “full“ trial court to force that (or, of course, a settlement agreement.)
Disaster or not, the media has zero credibility when it comes to reporting on anything Trump related. BBC would have declared it a disaster regardless of whether or not it actually did well, just like Fox would have branded it a huge success no matter what. Only time will tell what the real situation is.
What paperwork did you sign, and what did you agree to wrt computer policies? I'd start there.
I'd like more of the price to go to developers, but overall I think software on the app store is too cheap. I don't see how it's sustainable.
I also prefer docks to hubs, for the same reasons you mentioned. There are still some pretty big gaps which need to be addressed before we can use a single cable for everything.

First, Mac OS still doesn't support DisplayPort MST. If you have two or more non-Thunderbolt monitors, you'll need to use more than one port.

Second, many companies require their employees to use tokens such as Yubikeys, which are USB devices plugged into a laptop operating on human touch. Even if you dock your laptop, you will need to keep it within arm's reach so you can touch the Yubikey. You could remove the Yubikey from the laptop and plug it into your dock, but that defeats the purpose of docking.

Ultimately, I just want more desk space, and I consider both the dock and the laptop to be clutter.
There's a separate provisioning process for the "very locked" state you're talking about, not just signing in on the device.
That's interesting, I guess you could interpret it that way now that I look again. But to me it looks like cell shading. Taking a peek at Tales of Monkey Island and MI4, this one looks like a great improvement. Probably why it impressed me.

“Shut up and calculate” is to physics what “premature optimization” and “security through obscurity” are to computer science. Meaning that the people who know the actual contexts in which these phrases arose are simply weary of explaining their meanings to people who imagine that they understand them, and have long since given up.
If your family responsibilities don't prevent you from going away for ~5 months for the initial training (depending on MOS), then it's not utter madness to join at 40 if you're in decent shape.

It may be a pride-swallowing experience at first. You'd be thrown into a barracks with a lot of 17-20 year olds and you'd be treated like one of them. We had a 35 year old in my basic training. The trainers gave him only a tiny bit of slack.

You'd also spend some time as a 40 year old private - which might get you some looks.

Whatever you do, pick your MOS carefully. Look around and see what type of reserve and guard units are local because that's going to dictate your job choices. If there's nothing but infantry locally, then you're going to be infantry or something that supports them. If that's the case, be a medic. Everyone likes the medic.
They are centrist by any political spectrum definition

Well, exactly. The right wing has been very successful by ceding the center. The extreme right is enthusiastic and turns out to vote, and the center-right is willing to vote with them.

Perhaps the far left would turn out enthusiastically for a far-left candidate, but the Democrats believe that it wouldn't be enough to balance the loss of centrists. The result is a party that attempts to appeal to the center, while retaining a slight left-wing balance. There is little place for a genuinely progressive stance.
Northern India seems to be the area of the map most affected by the combined factors specifically heat and water shortage. It's also, by my unscientific estimation home to hundreds of millions of people.

What...are we going to do about this? This seems like it could shape up to be a humanitarian crisis of completely incomparable proportions. Could a million people die from one heatwave at some point this century?
AFAIK wind turbines, as opposed to conventional turbines in power plants, don't directly connect to the 60Hz Grid but go through DC and an inverter. This is done so they can efficiently work at different speeds at not just a few mechanically selectable ones

I'm not sure I understand the distinction you're drawing between UX/UI and graphic design. To me it seems obvious that the concept of a "design system" has been around for a while and has been applied universally in many sub-fields of design.

It doesn't seem super relevant whether or not there is a CSS/JS framework to support a design system — that seems more like an implementation detail.
> Groups like Azov are actively supported by the Ukrainian government

So is the Wagner group with the Russian government. Your point being?

> videos of pow torture

As per the Russians, this is not a war. Hence, they're not prisoners of war. Or we can have our cake and eat it too? If something bad happens to a Russian soldier on Ukrainian territory, that's that all part of a 'Special Hospitality Operation'.

In terms of your second point, no.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_military_deception

By default, the Russians are lying, unless there's evidence that they're not. They lied about Crimea, they lied about invading Ukraine, they lied about the refugee corridors, they basically lied about everything, if it suited their goals. They're lying right now. Satellite images show that the mass graves were there since before the Russians left Bucha. What they did there is something all Eastern Europeans who had ancestors 'liberated' by the Russians know too well.. Not to minimize the current tragedy, but this is tame compared to the past exploits of the Red Army. I bet this is just the tip of the iceberg and that the south-east of Ukraine is pretty much hell on earth right now.

I have rarely found that statement to be true.
So much this... but I don't see the point of avoiding the exit interview. Why not mention minor non-problems which everyone sort of agrees with or they are already doing something about... while emphasizing that you are leaving because of what the new opportunity brings and not what is bad about the company.

Disagreeing to an exit interview seems unnecessarily hostile... and it may lead to on-the-spot ad-hoc informal exit interview anyway... and the questions may take into account the fact that you disagreed to it.

Just agree and comply, tell them what they want to hear. It's easy.
..and if those offices doing nothing to help you isn’t enough, there are plenty of other government agencies/services which will also do nothing for you

Another little push in the right direction: you'll have to go into developer mode to expose the shell and flip the write-protect bit.
They didn't. Various mobile nuclear C3 assets were created and/or modernized, GWEN was started, etc. We didn't need the precise equivalent because we chose a different route: redundant mobile command assets and a great deal of effort into preserving the Presidency (the office, not the person) at least until the combatant commanders had launch authority delegated to them.

FWIW, the US used to have launch code broadcast rockets. The early ones were housed in dedicated sounding rockets. Later, radio "warheads" were secretly dispersed among the Minuteman fields. We no longer use them because there are enough reliable nodes to get the word out even while under attack (e.g. Milstar).

Fun fact: missile command centers fitted to support the command rockets had a voice console where a crew member would read the current go codes into a microphone to be recorded on the "warhead" just before launch. Try not to stutter!
Nit: I think it's "Bong Hits 4 Jesus."
What you say totally makes sense but still, even if new media takes more storage space, the accumulated stale date in the long run will win.

I don't think a MacBook Air M1 has a lot places to add ports [0]. The latest generation of MacBook Pros bring a lot of the ports back [1], so that point doesn't hold anymore.

Also, of all the MacBook Air users I know, I'm the heaviest user in terms of processor load, and given that it's the company computer, it wouldn't be my first choice for a personal MacBook (in fact, I have a personal MacBook Pro).

At the end of the day, having a featherweight computer which can do all my work related tasks and some heavier stuff and doesn't needs its charger and ports most of the time is really a spoiling thing. However, for heavy development and photographic work, nothing beats on board ports and a bigger screen.

I don't doubt your experiences, more generally the military is quite unreal - a world with very different cultures, rules, clothes, jobs; a world where you can exist without dealing with outsiders very often. There's almost nothing else that is quite so much a parallel reality. A lot of people leaving the military have trouble adjusting to real life.
So what was the law that Ralph's broke? Was the rig not allowed to be parked there? There wasn't a lot of detail in the comment.
> but we should at least respect them for their indelible mark as a

A resonance for hackers should be the origin of the "quintessential
engineer", like Brunel and Telford - stove pipe hats, steam-punk lab,
recklessly building bridges beyond all reasonable ambition, skirting
the bleeding edge of mechanics and material science - which are still
standing today.

Move slow and build things.

And the poverty I mention (above) was of course a catalyst for many of
the great reformers, Bentham and company... definitely a mixed age.

Those limitations wouldn’t really work: addicts would just start ordering max amounts of all different drugs and then trade to get more of their favorite.

How about we let anyone buy as much as they want for their personal use and just let them go about their lives as long as they don’t endanger anyone else’s.

And note: I’m only suggesting the above because nothing else works; worse, most current approaches only create more issues and cost more taxpayer money.

For a recent example, meth is so heavily enforced that actually medically functional decongestants are no longer available OTC, only sham pills. Yet, meth use has not diminished in the slightest, vice versa. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg (sorry, I’ll show myself out).

In other words, all people, especially those with allergies, suffer more because of general prohibition than without it.
Would love to see that too.

> Not defending Ivermectin, but what do people have against trying alternative therapeutics for COVID?

I don't think this is actually a widespread problem and I don't believe that the majority of the people who are "against" Ivermectin are somehow also against trying alternative therapeutics...

I'm actually curious because this is a very well coordinated and repeated talking point of the right: what does CNN calling Ivermectin a horse dewormer mean to you and why is that so significant?
> Opera was the only browser which had a toolbar with these relational links.

Frefox had it to, it's this famous bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2800 opened 24 years ago.

They had a toolbar for it for a while, and I used it for forums and search results. And then they got rid of the toolbar, and the rel link because used only for search engines.

It's not about optimism, but being factual.

> national borders are unlikely to go away in the next hundred years

That's a strange take, because an argument often raised is that ecological migrants must be accommodated if entire countries become uninhabitable.

As borders are just imaginary lines in the ground, if there is indeed a climate emergency, I do not see why say people from the Indian subcontinent (shown preeminently in the interactive map) would have no rights to settle in the empty eurasian steppes.

Human lives matter more than imaginary lines caused by historical circumstances.

I have a TS3, but it’s been hard to get a second or a TS4 lately.
CalDigit's TS3, TS3 Plus, and now the TS4 are all incredible products.

I have used them with my MacBooks over the years as well as my gaming PC (ASUS ProArt B550 motherboard), and they are the most reliable part of my desktop setup. They are not just reliable, but reliably fast. I get full gigabit ethernet speed, fast USB transfer speeds, and fast SD card reading, without fail, every time.
Actually....

It's the poster's Chromebook.
They has revoked authorization for the school to deploy $software on their machine.

Next step is the public school supplying a spyware'd laptop and NOT imstalling spyware on said parent's chromebook, but also said private chromebook not being used for school stuff.

If you want the district to not install spyware... Well... Lets just say, the poster is probably pissing in the wind in my experience.
Could it possibly be impossible to enter developer mode?

If so, could it be possible to somehow flip the write protect bit "by hand"?
On the flip side of that "minors have no rights" coin you're holding up is the fact that laptop is the parent's property since they bought the laptop for the child to use. They did a factory reset and the problem software still remains. What if the parent did a factory reset to use the laptop for themselves? There is no reason for the spyware to remain in that case. It needs to be removable.
Such inefficient use of our CPU cycles is only bringing this bleak reality closer!
I am not a parent, but this seems like a good practice to get a child in the habit of, anyway: separating out your devices for work and school. Much like I wouldn't log into personal Slack groups on my work laptop (I learned that lesson!), I wouldn't try to conduct personal work on a school laptop.
This was a super interesting article, it makes me sad though.
As someone who loves studying physics for fun, it's disheartening to hear how hard it is to be really good at it and how people at the highest levels kind of look down on all the people who are not researchers in the field. I mean, I get it, it's a very difficult field and it requires an incredible rigor to contribute to it. It gives me a kind of "what's the point?" feeling though. The best I can ever be is a crackpot.
"Spreading misinformation."
This huge language model was trained 'from scratch' - ie. before the first batch of data went into the training process, the model state was simply initialized using random noise.

I believe we are near the end of that. As models get more and more expensive to train, we'll see future huge models being 'seeded' with weights from previous models. Eventually nation-state levels of effort will be used to further train such networks to then distribute results to industry to use.

A whole industry will be built around licensing 'seeds' to build ML models on - you'll have to pay fees to all the 'ancestors' of models you use.
