this is incorrect. A significant proportion of high density environments include people living well below the poverty line. In New York City, they shop at places called "bodegas". They often have access to public assistance like food stamps, but they are otherwise consuming those products at "high density" prices. They dont buy in large quantities for financial reasons but also for the "high density makes quantity buying largely impractical" reasons I mentioned above.
Yes, that is indeed correct – and the "now" is technically correct as well, if perhaps redundant (and you can probably understand what I was getting at.) But let me elaborate a bit, since I think you will appreciate it:

Apple's Music app on iOS is currently tightly integrated with the Apple Music service, and Apple enthusiastically advertises the service in OS (much to my dismay since I think ads do not belong in OS onboarding, notifications, or preferences.)

Apple actually got rid of iTunes on macOS and replaced it with the (rather awful, imho) macOS incarnation of the Music app from iOS.

As I understand it, the iTunes Store didn't arrive until 2003, although iTunes could rip CDs beforehand and the Rip/Mix/Burn ad campaign was from 2001.
I don't really know if there's a way it could diffused - the reality on the ground is that cutting edge science requires cutting edge resources, and since advances are made on the margins major breakthroughs require knowledge across so many areas that one person can't possible be a specialist in everything involved. Both of those aspects mean most major research requires a significant concentration of resources to even be feasible.
How to navigate organizational power structures to secure what is needed to get something done (both the formal and informal structures). How to establish organizational boundaries so that a teams capacity isn’t redirected. How to navigate upper management culture to communicate in a way they expect. How and why teams are organized the way they are and the pros and cons of different structures. How to position a team for growth and how to position a team during a period of consolidation. How to be therapist, mentor, mediator or executioner depending on the day.
So? They’re a private university, they can do what they want.

You also can choose to no longer attend. But the faux outrage over this — “they shouldn’t be allowed to do that!” — reads very hypocritical to me, like private entities are allowed to do what they want without interference until they do something that is personally disagreeable.
Can someone describe to me a search engine that’s immune to such problems and also searches a large variety of old and new sites?
> Yes, because a citizen is forcible removed from his native country. And because he can get much more severe punishment that we would get in his own country.

And? As I said citizens have rights but also duties as citizens, and constitutions establish these rights and duties. If a countries constitution acknowledges a supra-national treaty or authority, which is their rights as free and independent countries, then none of the defendant rights are getting violated provided the extradition treaty grants due process to contest that extradition.

So being hyperbolic by claiming it's equal to "slavery", in an attempt at appealing to emotion, just makes your argument sound unhinged, at best. What's next? Extradition treaties are "racist"?

Do you have any hobbies outside of work? Are you pursuing or maintaining any strong relationships with friends and family? I think you're a little wrapped up in finding your sense of being and happiness and satisfaction in your career, and you should branch on to find other sources too. Don't get me wrong, your work can still be a source of all of that, you might just need more sources. With hobbies, you can find new challenges and problems and milestones and that provides direction, which takes the burden off your software/job for providing it all. Good to hear you're actively taking care of yourself.

Omicron is still dangerous enough to be a serious risk for an unvaccinated population of a billion people. The Chinese health system is pretty weak at the best of times. Vast numbers of sick people, even if they could survive with decent care, could overwhelm it.

Hopefully it won’t come to that. Even if lockdowns dont stop it spreading, they might slow it down enough to keep the outbreak manageable. They’re taking an awful risk though, and it’s just unnecessary. Failing to institute an effective vaccination strategy by now is incredibly irresponsible.

For me it was DarkBasic that got me into coding.

I discovered it in a game magazine and immediately downloaded it and it was a whole new world. It had its own weird GUI that was rendered in full screen, and there are almost NO youtube videos of some of the impressive demos like the 3D FPS Yeti game and others.

My early teen years were filled daydreaming of games I could make on it and thinking it was easy because well, Basic, I ended up spending most summers just running other peoples code, creating levels that never saw any use.

Because the top employers by number of people are all about schlepping shit from A (where population isn't) to B (where population is), and that can't be done remotely. Then you have the manufacturers, and that can't be done remotely either.

My objections to Jo Boaler's recommendations are mainly related to the content covered in chapters 6 and 7 of her book (Mathematical Mindsets). Not all of it is wrong. But some of the things she's written in that book, and in the intro the California Math Framework 2021 is wrong-headed:

1. She claims that studies show that detracking improves student outcomes for all students, including the strongest. The cited studies mix a number of interventions, so it's impossible to draw the conclusion that detracking caused the increase in performance.

2. She attacks a straw man when she talks about the 'elitist construction of math'. I don't believe her characterisation that many/most people believe that math ability is genetic.

3. The talk of open-ended 'Low floor, high ceiling' tasks sounds nice in principle. But I challenge you to come up with a task that would work for people spanning 5 grade levels's of math ability (like the 6th graders at several schools in the Bay Area), and that a median California math teacher could supervise effectively.

4. No, there's no rule that says, if you group kids by ability, you can't provide differentiated instruction within each classroom.

5. If high school math achievement is used as a gatekeeper for college admissions, and this reinforces inequity, the answer cannot be to hold some students back. Rather, we should improve early math education so that people can all progress. Even if it's true that folks who study calculus in high school end up studying it again in college, this doesn't indicate they didn't benefit from that high school exposure.

6. The five strides of Equitable Math (https://equitablemath.org/) (recommended in the California Math Framework 2021, Chapter 2), is NOT a good guide to improving math teaching. Its characterisation that every problem with math education is the cause of 'White Supremacy culture' is plainly wrong. Many of those problems exist in places like China, and it's hard to claim that's also a result of white supremacy. I highly recommend reading Stride 1 on that web site.

7. She pushed some changes at San Francisco Unified School District, the main one of which was moving Algebra I from 8th grade to 9th grade. She and the district claimed great success, and published some misleading stats. I won't go into the reasons why those stats are misleading here. But just look at what happened to those students when it came time to take the SAT. The first cohort of students who did algebra in 9th grade had a 10% lower pass rate on the Math SAT than did the previous cohort (61%, down from 66%). This is on the public record: you can request the aggregate data from CA Dept Ed (it used to be online, but they took down the page, as they don't care about SAT results now that UC doesn't look at them).

Tell HN: iOS Signal eats your disk space
Signal on iOS will not free up any disk space when you delete chats or media. You cannot see or clear usage in the app or in iOS settings. There’s a potential security problem where your data is not actually being deleted when you delete chats.

We are having no luck getting the Signal team to acknowledge the issue. The ticket was automatically closed despite activity.

1. Be aware that a large portion of your storage space might be stolen by Signal.

2. Be aware that this might be a significant security flaw.

3. If anyone can get Signal to pay attention rather than closing repeated tickets as stale, that would be great.

The court just has to weigh all the evidence. A lot of people have heard top-10 songs, so it would be hard to prove true independence. At an extreme though, if you could prove that somebody was perfectly isolated (e.g., if they had video evidence of not being exposed since that top-10 song was produced), a clean-room implementation from that individual would satisfy copyright law (mostly, give or take the as-of-yet mostly legally untouched minefield of deep-fakes). The only real question is where courts would draw a line between that kind of conclusive evidence and some random Joe pinky-swearing they produced the latest Taylor Swift hit in their garage and that it's accidentally kind of similar.
Are You Working on the Right Risks (For B2B Software)

We often talk about this problem as if we expect Google to solve a social and economic people problem purely through math alone.

The appeal of open-to-all search as a way of navigating the web was that there was a huge long tail of interesting stuff that would be hard to manually index and categorize.

If the long tail of interesting stuff has fully drowned in a sea of spam and crap, I'm not sure that it still makes that much sense over something smaller but human-curated.

Perhaps the trick would be human curation with extensive and always-evolving AI tools to speed up the curation. You have to get past the filter to get in, versus being in by default unless you're blatant enough to get banned. There is a layer of human judgement in addition to the algorithm's score of the content, and additionally that gives you an extra scoring factor on the algorithms yourself - the humans should be able to help direct the development of the algorithm to fight spam more preemptively.

Would a mix of that give us a bigger internet than the entirely-manual "web directory" days of 1997 or so, but a less-shit-filled one than today's?

From what you're saying, it seems like working on something nice with nice colleagues might be more fulfilling for you now than working at the bleeding edge of tech for the best salary.

Some decisions might also seem more consequential to you than they are. Whatever job you pick, it will still be a job. Wherever you go, people will have the same basic interests and needs.

Many seemingly big decisions are also kind of reversible. If you quit your current job, you can always get another equally okay-ish job at a megacorp. If you move somewhere else, you can also move back. Only if you plan to start a family you might want to be close to your relatives, but YMMV.

We developed an assessment a few years ago that is useful for software startups to measure their progress against a common set of objective milestones. Someone took it earlier this week and emailed me:

"It was a very helpful assessment to complete.

I assume if someone were to regularly complete this assessment one could measure & track progress using your scoring method. If this is the case, then its a powerful tool in the early stages to measure overall performance. Was this the intended outcome?"

I had not considered this use case but realized that an entrepreneur could run it once a month or so depending on how much is changing.

But it seems plausible that someone, somehow, managing to get one important driver into Linux that was missing from BSD might have helped to get the ball rolling, enabling "Linux has better driver support" to become a self-fulfilling prophecy, encouraging driver writers to write drivers for Linux (rather than BSD) and for Linux to include them. Presumably BSD eventually largely caught up, but by then the race had already been lost.

Lots of microcontrollers have a bandgap reference built in... And typically they have really rather terrible voltage tolerances - eg. on atmel devices the 1.1v reference doesn't even have guaranteed minimum and maximum voltages across the whole range of supply voltage and temperature, but you can only expect it to be somewhere between 0.9 volts and 1.3 volts....

So why are these circuits so bad? Do they use a different design?
> I can't help but feel that the current wave of job changing is fueled by hype and greed

If you were financially independent before changing jobs, then there may be an element of greed to it. But even a financially independent person may change jobs for a vast number of reasons that don't involve accumulating wealth for the sake of it.

If you are not financially independent (i.e. you fall somewhere between a wage slave and a nearly financially independent person), there is no way you changed jobs out of greed. Inflation is high enough that ordinary people will either get a raise or become noticeably poorer in the next couple of years.
