Instead of monetizing users by selling their data (facebook / google etc) they simple charge high actual fees.

For some reason this is seen as terrible. The idea that apple is a monopoly is laughable if you like at any historic definition of a monopoly.
It would be criminal to allow children to rampantly spread COVID too, even if they themselves were/are at low risk. Imagine the damage when a child brings home COVID and one of their parents ends up dying or even "just" disabled with long COVID. There's no simple answer here.
If you login with a different profile, is the GoGuardian software still running? Or is it only running on the managed school account?
> Likewise an app that allows you easily bail on social engagements guilt-free through minimized interactions is probably not a good idea because those interactions are exactly how you build the trust that's the root cause of the guilt in the first place.

The interactions of possibly cancelling things? I don't know about that. And expecially the interactions of cancelling things both people want to cancel? That doesn't seem notably trust-buildy to me.

> Maybe we're miscommunicating. I'm not implying the software solution exists, just that that desire for such an app may be misplaced.

And I'm saying the desire isn't specifically for an app, and shouldn't have given you that impression that the poster thought software was "the right lever" in the first place.
> Just look at tobacco - legal, heavily taxed, providing minors is heavily punished, large warnings required, even requiring manufacturers to pay for commercials to smear their own product. This could be applied to just about anything.

I could definitely see getting more on board with that. Seems like such campaigns have been somewhat successful in multiple regions. The main thing I'm against is the criminalization of consumption, that's a fools errand.

More good education early on is a lot better than what I grew up with. The DARE program was such a joke.

That doesn't really make sense to me. User accounts, whether managed remotely or locally, should be subordinate to administrator accounts. That administrator-level privileges are insufficient to undo a change made with user-level privileges breaks this relationship.
I actually don't think it does mean something else. iliana is quite technical; I would imagine that they relate to other technical folk. I have little network services I've shared with friends before, perhaps they do something similar.
> You seem to be specifically looking to find a frame in which the author is incorrect

Actually I read the article because I love the idea, and agreed with everything he said up until halfway through, when it completely veered off into nonsense-land with awful examples. I have no idea why you've decided you know my motivation for criticizing the article. I'm criticizing it because it is bad!

> The model definitely worked for me when I first encountered it and it worked for many of my early friends.

Unfortunately it doesn't sound like either of us really have data on this, your anecdotes notwithstanding. But I have to admit I really wonder whether you're (a) remembering your elementary-school mental state correctly, and (b) correct about your friends' mental states as well. After all, you claimed to know my motivation for writing my comment, so maybe you're not as much of a mind-reader as you think. And it's really hard to remember the way you thought about something N decades ago!

Maybe you're thinking of multiplication as being "repeated addition"? Great! That's a good cartoon of multiplication. That's a foothold into the concept that doesn't lead you astray.

The reason it's a good cartoon is that it is correct -- technically correct -- for a sensible subset of numbers, and it extends naturally to other concepts. Multiplying 7 by 0.5 really is analogous to "adding 0.5 sevens together"; multiplying 7 by -2 is analogous to "adding -2 sevens together". And it's useful if you've been needing to do lots of addition and you're tired of hitting the + button on your calculator over and over. It's immediately useful because addition is useful, and it makes repeated addition easier!

But "it makes things bigger" gives you none of this power -- none whatsoever. It just gives you a weird, bad mental image of it inflating a number into a bigger number ... somehow. It's not correct even for the Whole Numbers -- multiplying by 1 does not make anything bigger! You don't even need 0 for it to be wrong! And if you multiply by 0.5 or 17lbs or i, there's absolutely no way of stretching "making it bigger" into an analogy that's at all useful. It's just bad, bad, bad, bad. Completely different from "multiplication is repeated addition"!

The rule "it makes things bigger, except when it doesn't" is exactly what people hate about math. A weird, opaque non-definition that isn't even true most of the time.
Oh hey, Realtek networking. That's the thing that made me give up on trying to Hackintosh back in the Snow Leopard days. The weird ported-from-Linux kexts that existed at the time would just give up and kill the network after a few GBs transmitted - not even enough to download contemporary Xcode. Glad to hear even the official experience with these chips is just as bad /s
This doesn’t challenge me because, somewhat paradoxically, it’s too hard.

With such small differences in answers (typically about 3%, or 10% between smallest and largest), I feel it’s impossible to reason about what could be the right answer. Consequently, I just don’t care about giving the right answer.

> we should be in a heavy transition period towards getting the most out of what we already know

That's what a free market is for. Developing technology from what we already know is profitable and self sustaining. I can't think of anything worse than governments directing technology development.

Science is the process of uncovering and understanding things about the world that we don't already know. Who exactly is in a position to know what counts as luxury? By your logic the discovery of the electron 125 years ago was luxury research, and the fact that our civilization is based on electricity and electronics today is irrelevant. General relativity didn't have practical applications for almost a hundred years, now we all rely on it indirectly everyday for GPS.

The value of Apple products when it comes to dongles and cables is pretty clear to me. While most people laugh at that $100 usb C hub thing, I haven’t been able to find a single alternative that is as good and significantly cheaper. Most products with the same ports cost almost as much and were constant sources of issues when we used them at work while the Apple one just always works in every case.

I got one of the basic usb 3.0 A to C cables on eBay and while it generally works, I was only able to get 300mbps over it while the apple one did the full gbit I was testing.

These specs are never written anywhere. You only know when you test it out. And I find the Apple one just passes all tests while 3rd party brands are a roll of the dice.

From an evolutionary game theory perspective, all seemingly selfless coordination acts are really self interest with extra steps. Prairie dogs have a vocabulary of about 10 words for the approximately 10 types of predators they might want to warn each other about. Why would a male prairie dog participate in a system which perpetuates the life of competing males? Because all participant prairie dogs benefit from not getting eaten, and the marginal benefit to the individual is higher than the marginal cost.

Of course, prairie dogs don't sit around working out payoff matrices and finding the Nash Equilibrium. The behaviour is hard coded without an understanding of why. Warning their fellow dogs just "feels like the right thing to do". so they do it.

Honest answer: Apple is a lifestyle brand, however they manage to offer a superior product to the layman because they have tight control over both hardware and software codevelopment. In my experience, people tend to also like Apple hardware because Apple stores are ubiquitous, so when you need a repair done, you just take it to your local mall and get it fixed rather than mailing it away to Lenovo and hoping for the best.

Out of curiosity, in your engineering course, what are students expected to used to their own computers for? In my experience, any engineering course with labs that would require dongles supply desktop computers anyway. Your school doesn't have desktops in the classroom right? What equipment are you interfacing with that would be easily both mac and pc compatible anyway?

Isn't that what attracts all physicists, and humanity in its quest to understand its world?
Organize other pissed-off parents and persist at school board meetings until they change the policy. You’ll likely be labeled as terrorists for seeking redress with your public officials but stand strong, read up on laws and the board’s bylaws. Let them enter a trap (like ignoring you) where the law/bylaws say you can petition for removal of board member(s) on that cause. You’ll likely have to take it to court. But parents are prevailing and board members are being removed, for example in Pennsylvania over schools imposing their own mask mandates that do not align with public health.

I believe the OP is concerned the Chromebook is rooted by the spy software and therefore using another account doesn’t solve that issue.
The claim that apple is a monopoly is a bad joke based on any standard measure of a monopoly. My trash service is a monopoly, apple is not.

Apple charges high fees instead of monetizing in other ways. Don't like it, go elsewhere.

That artificial choke point (and the corresponding consumer effects) are what has DRAWN folks to Apple. Apps could slurp up your contacts on Android forever. Going through the Apple "chokepoint" that was a no go - the OS throws a prompt up you would have to approve, and the need for that sharing gets looked at.

Don't like it? No one is forcing anyone to buy apple, they have a relatively small market share. For those who value all this, they can (and it turns out folks with money DO value this because they don't want the hassles they get with others").

And yes, Apple has blocked carriers from pre-installing their bloatware and crapware. Again, if you want that, go get it somewhere else.

I work for a school district (not CPS) with about 2000 deployed Chromebooks and you're likely running into one of two things.

1) You somehow 'enrolled' the device into the Chromebook management. This is hard to do by mistake but if you do, essentially puts the device under the control of the school district. It also uses up a license on their end. We only allow particular IT only accounts to enroll devices.
2) You're logging in with their CPS account. Once a person logs in with their managed account it can deploy user level policies that include everything you described: extensions, filtering, and blocking signing into another account in the browser. You'll also find some random pages are blocked to keep students from bypassing the restrictions.

That you can wipe the machine makes me think you didn't enroll it - if you wipe an enrolled device it will prompt/force you to re-enroll.
You should be able to reboot the device so you land at the login screen and hit "Add Person" down at the bottom. From there sign in with a different Google account and it should be completely unaffected by any policy the school is deploying. Unless you enroll it, the policies are deployed to the Google account, not the device.

Its likely the CPS Help Desk Staffer you reached doesn't have the power to fix things for you if you've enrolled things - that usually requires permissions that are restricted to a few admins.

Feel free to shoot me a message via the email in my profile - I'm happy to give you some of the inside perspective and help you figure it out.
This has gotten exponentially worse in the past month. In the past, I'd see maybe one or two videos get targeted with Telegram scams per month.

At this point, every one of my videos is targeted, and usually in waves two or three times before the spammers give up.

Sadly, there are at least 5-10 people _per week_ who now email me asking if the scam is legit, and I have to tell them no, I would never choose you to win something then ask you to send me $100 to send it to you.

The tool linked here works perfectly every time for me... I don't know how this problem is so prevalent (MKBHD said it's like 6-10% of all comments on his channel now) and YouTube can still ignore it (while doing other pointless things like removing public dislike counts).
One source of crackpots is people who encountered "postmodernist" ideas telling them that science is sexist/racist/whatever, and who then make the jump to thinking that anyone can contribute scientific theories without having to understand the canon, because the canon is part of the sexist/racist institution.

> Ancestors of the COVID-19 haven’t been dead for a million years though.

Please read more carefully. I did not say "years". I said "their generations". The average virus generation is very very short.

> If COVID-19 has natural origins, then the ancestors should still exist

Again, you persist in confusing ancestors with relatives.

Insofar a particular viral-particle or sequence can even be considered "alive", they will "die" as a mandatory part of reproduction, kicking off millions of slightly-different descendants.

It's as if you're holding a fresh-caught salmon and insisting that you ought to be able to find its wild ancestors somewhere in the water. No, it doesn't work like that.

> Evolution has plenty of evidence even without living common ancestors between primates and humans.

That is true, but when you say "we should be able to find a living common ancestor", that's idiotic because that means finding AN IMMORTAL CREATURE 4+ MILLION YEARS OLD.

Yeah I’m gonna doubt that. Not that dual career households don’t have their own difficulties but that’s nothing compared to the effects of poverty. The article mentions a huge effect size of being black. I would guess wealthy families have drastically lower rates of child suicide.
I'm not sure what fantasy you are living in.

The DOJ and FTC which enforce "fair trade practices" have not focused on many obvious fair trade violations and crimes. Instead, their resources are directed at Apple for "crimes", not because Apple is where everyone is getting scammed, but because Apple is where folks are running to because of the failures of the DOJ and FTC.

So how about they fix their issues (and the rest of the web) before going after apple?

Using microPython I could probably replace the use of shell for many tasks. I doubt I would get any speed gains but maybe I could learn Python in the process. It's an idea.

A reason I am interested in learning Python is, of course, to understand and edit certain Python programs written by others. That reason has just not been compelling enough to get me to learn it. I spend more time on C. I need to have a C compiler for various reasons, like compiling kernels, so that provides an excuse to learn it. However I can get by without Python. Hence I am better with C than with Python. That later just is not "essential" for me, or interesting enough, like APL.

I do stuff that is like embedded and intramfs, custom static multicall binaries, on older and small form factor computers, so the size does matter.
Not a chomeOS user, so maybe I'm not familiar with the terminology, but what is the difference between "log into" an account and "boot into" one?

Not a problem, I'm here all night. Hit me up if you need the ontological question of substance answering too: it's materialism.

For real though, what are you supposed to do with a moral system that requires you to adhere to rules regardless of outcome? Where the founder literally said you should aid a murderer because lying is wrong? That's so stupid. You can only derive such a system from religious belief where the rules are a manifestation of a higher power, as Kant did.
It'll be a long time before people who are in their 20s now have the kind of power that the boomers had and continue to have. Both in terms of personal wealth and consumption choices, in terms of political power (the average age in the senate is currently 64), and corporate power (the average CEO is 58).

You can only hold people accountable for the things that they could have done. For someone in their early 70s that's about 26 times voting for federal representatives. For someone in their early 20s that's about 2 times.

To say those two groups bear any kind of equal responsibility is just wrong.
It's tied directly to the remotely managed account, that's how the account works. If you don't sign into the account, the software won't be installed.

Students don't get to decide what software to install when it comes to logging in to school accounts. Generally the laptops are provided by the district, but it seems OP was trying to add another personal device to their system.

You can't participate in their system without the software. So I guess the alternative would be to block personal devices from logging in like this at all.
