This is just an abstract, so maybe I am missing something, but it sounds like a subtle moral judgment is being inserted here that faster is better: younger people react faster often because of impulsivity. Why should we believe that a faster response time is a good thing, aside from swerving to avoid an accident and the like? Is that what was under measure here?

Did they happen to add them to their contacts recently or send the X&Y Smiths a message about you?
I'm sure there's a better way to do it but I try to give each vendor (especially slimy ones) a unique email address:

Dailyburn@mylastname.io

When they start spamming I set up a filter to hard block anything going to that address.

Good lord! This is my second "opsec" reply on this - what a statement on how shitty it is to try and engage in commerce when you need to cover your tracks like you're committing a crime...barf.

There are multiple reasons, from regulation in terms of insurance, safety requirements, etc. to control of congestion and pollution by limiting the number of drivers.
I wish I could do this, but I do field calls from people not in my contact list often.
That only works if you are running a trusted OS atop that hardware, and you simply cannot trust proprietary software. Apple do not permit iOS users to run any software they desire, and attempted to run spyware on all iOS devices; I think one cannot trust them not to have a backdoor in any 'secure' execution environment.

Now, if Linux or OpenBSD released support for that hardware, you might be able to trust it.
Most of mainstream media reported this with a title indicating that Toyota is against electrification, when in fact they merely stated that there are unsolved challenges to be able to do it at scale.

As an avid reader for as long as I can remember (I have a vague memory of being able to read before I spoke, but that might just be quirk of memories from early childhood) it’s an interesting insight that spoken and written vocabularies are different sizes.

I guess it comes from the fact that when we are speaking IRL we have more senses available to us, while in written form we have just that single channel.

Anecdotally, I often find myself reading and notice a word I feel is familiar, but wouldn’t be able to give a clear definition. Majority of the time I will just skip over it and continue reading. I guess there is a level of redundancy there. After moving to the United States I had a manager who would use the word “Pollyanna” at least once a week in conversation and look me over a year of that before I finally looked it up to see what they were meaning.

From a cognitive & neurological point of view it’s pretty interesting that we can learn such a large written word vocabulary with these words that have such a low frequency of occurrences.

> That being said, I haven't had to deal with Leetcode in my career (yet) but from what I've heard it sure beats that.

Lucky you... I'm at my 8th job now and Leetcode-style interviews pushed me to the point where I ask up front if this is part of the interview process, because, as stated on my LinkedIn, "I have a personal policy against any type of live coding or online coding tests during interviews and I don't enjoy or engage in any form of competitive programming". If that's a showstopper for them, then they need to find someone else.

I started signing up for privacy.com, right up until the point where they asked for my username and password for my bank. Why can't they just do electronic funds transfer like Paypal? Seems like a strange user experience.
I feel like my doctor is in a better position to decide, if I don't like the results I can find a new doctor. If things continue on their current course that will no longer be an option as every doctor will be afraid to use their actual training and skill for fear of losing their license. You are absolutely free to follow the CDC advice, you are likewise free to find a doctor that does the same. I believe I should have the same freedom to decide.

What is the great fear here? That people will keep going to doctors that actively kill them? Do you believe the general public is just too ill informed to know if their doctor is helping or not? Would a doctor who consistently gives bad medical advice and has bad patient outcomes continue to get patients? Is the risk of that happening worth handing over medical decisions to legislators who have no medical training?
You're saying actually the opposite of confidence (hesitancy) is something that might look like complacency to one person but it's actually just being conservative, making sure you stay on that rope. Good point. Thanks!
It's not any better in Thailand. In fact, it's been worse. I wish there was a “no call” list. I wish the carriers couldn't spam you. While I still had a LINE account, if you spoke to tech support through the platform you were enrolled in their spam and could only mute it.
As an experienced developer who has done way too much networking and home automation for my own good, it never would occur to me to hold the power button on a remote.

And now I just discovered my Apple TV actually has a control panel. You don't need to go two layers deep in Settings to put it to sleep. It never occurred to me to a long press on the home button would do anything. (Despite knowing long pressing on the menu taking you to the main menu.)

Catalonian secession would precipitate a similar push by the Basque region. From what I understand, these are two of the wealthiest areas in Spain, so them leaving would be a huge blow.

Another reason for the lack of support is that other countries don’t want to create a precedent for similar breakaways. Catalonia would have a hard time joining the EU for this reason (similarly Scotland if they were to secede).

The second reason hints at the explanation for the difference to other regions of the world. There is no hard and fast rule to apply to see why self-determinism is championed for one group but admonished for others. The sentiment is wholly a consequence of the motivations of the country in question and other interested nations.

Any moral rhetoric deployed by nations to justify policy is just post hoc rationalization of the underlying pragmatic decision making calculus. I think most people implicitly understand this. Which is why I’m incredulous when people act surprised by governments acting hypocritically
Transferring money has also become extremely easier compared to the past. I mean, using something like Revolut or Wise I can transfer money quickly and cheaply to all major currencies and countries.

But keep in mind that money is different than sending an email, because of crime. Rightfully, governments want to prevent criminal transaction, money laundering and so on - and that leads to increased transaction costs.

I'd rather have my transaction take one day or cost a couple of cents than let financial crime run rampant.

I understand how email spam is hard to trace to its source, but phones should be possible.

I’d like the FCC to impose a fine for spam messages that are paid for the company advertising with spam. I think the issue now is that the spam calls are lead generators that then collect info and forward to “legitimate” companies to sell warranties, insurance, whatever.

The “legitimate” company should be fined and then let them sort out the scammy firms that are spamming to generate leads.
Just a note, it takes A LOT of energy (and electricity!) to refine oil into gasoline. In CA for instance, the power it takes to refine fuel could, almost, be used watt for watt to power EVs going the same distance.

You can also add in the energy costs to extract, transport, store, etc fuel too (but EVs have a lot of that overhead too).
I am beyond convinced that our phones are hot mics to the point that my wife and I make a conscious effort to move our phones to another room when we have conversations.

There have been far too many “anecdotal” examples of me mentioning some thing/product out loud, never searching for anything related to it and then seeing ads for it over the next few days.

I resisted the conspiracy theory type explanation but it just occurs too often to be some sort of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
Agree. Adopting a less helpful structure in the name of manipulating the reader, is surely incompatible with unselfish writing. From the article:

> I’m not going to demand that you put up with my quirks (bad spelling, bad organization, sloppiness). I’m going to package the information so that it enters your heads as easily as possible.

If we were discussing fiction writing, that would be different. Fiction writers aren't aiming for maximally efficient communication.
I was amazed to learn that the Japanese people didn't use a writing system until the 4th century, and even then it was just Chinese. Not an adaptation of Chinese characters, which came later, but the Chinese language.

Japan had agricultural residents since the 4th century BCE. To go 800 years without writing, despite depending on long-term planning and trading to survive, is incomprehensible to me.

I was very surprised how little education there is amongst Spaniards about the Franco area, how this plays a significant role in the catalonian independence desires. Also how little processing of the Franco regime there was (compared to Germany), I mean the last Franco statue was removed only last year.
Toyota has spent billions on hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen technology with little to show for it. They are justifiably upset on that front. They've been against electric vehicles for years now.
It seems like Unreal is a terrible fit for smaller projects where visual fidelity isn't a primary concern. Would I ever build a roguelike, city builder or 2d platformer in Unreal? Wouldn't something like Godot or Unity be a much better fit?

AAA level graphics in nice, but there are many game genres that have visual fidelity very low on their respective list of concerns. With the rise of the Steamdeck, I'm sure there will be a rise in efficient portable-friendly games that can get that 7 hours of battery life. Not sure I would ever consider Unreal for those types of projects.
Drug dealers are equally strict about their employees getting high off the supply.

There is and was multiple meanings to the word. I can count at least 3 (in chronological order):

1. Open source hackers/hardcore systems programmers that culturally originated in MIT back in 60s (Tech Model Railroad Club, Free Software Foundation, Linux, Free/Open/Net BSD, GNU).

2. Security hackers.

2a. Blackhats: cyber criminals, radical take-no-prisoners hacktivists (90s Phrack, to some extent Defcon, LulzSec, hatefag faction of Anonymous).

2b. Whitehats: security engineers working in corporate settings (both on offensive and defensive sides of security), security consultants, bug bounty hunters (to some extents Defcon, Blackhat conference, NullCon, bug bounty platform communities (HackerOne, BugCrowd, Intigriti)).

2c. Grayhats: some combination/midpoint between the whitehats and blackhats.

3. Technical entrepreneurs (Y Combinator, Indie Hackers, Hacker News, MicroConf).

My first thought is: this is probably just coincidence. It was just a useless completion that normally would have gone totally unnoticed except for your recent conversation about this person.

It seems possible that a phone might be continually listening to background chatter and trying to extract salient/useful pieces of information to then feed into predictive assistants... but honestly that seems like a lot of computational work (especially on a device known for excellent use of its power budget), and a lot of development work. All for a very small incremental improvement in assistant UX that is probably not going to be noticed by most people.
Use a filesystem that does end-to-end error detection and correction. I use ZFS on all of my USB drives (even "real" SATA and M.2 SSDs via adaptors) and it frequently finds checksum errors (and thanks to the design of ZFS, is able to completely recover without any risk of further corruption).
> Even software that is directly ported has trouble because M1 tile memory cache is designed for minimal tasks, not heavy computing, and computationally heavy software has to be re-written from scratch to optimize it for the platform.

Huh? I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Tile based memory refers to the GPU, and you don't have to rewrite your GPU software from scratch, that's insane? That's what Metal is for. Whatever this is supposed to mean I'm pretty sure it's not even wrong
My take: Uber is a libertarian economic crowbar.

All of its backers, all of its investors, imagine an Uber world where no individual matters except themselves.

They wilfully break laws expecting to be able to overturn them before they are punished; they destroy markets knowing that the regulation will have to adapt to allow them to continue.

The Uberisation of everything is the tech sector's most disgraceful product.
They've been figured out, years already.

Drove pure electric starting in late 2014, BMW i3, and can confirm it's awesome, I never once got stuck, the cost of "fuel" is such that the equivalent MPG (eMPG i think they call it) was around 130 eMPG.

Point is, you can recharge on 110 volt plugs like at home just fine, and you spend at least 5x less on fuel per distance, when gas is cheap, and around 10x less when it's not. Maintenance costs on the powertrain are essentially 0.

Battery resilience is the only concern i had: how do they degrade over time?
His voicing his opinion for the show.

If the show gets sued for what's being broadcast, then the lawsuits would take money from the company. By keeping it "bare bones", then lawsuits can't do much damage as he can file for bankrupcy and the value of the suits will be scaled down.

>>> Alex Jones, founder of InfoWars, was found liable for damages in a trio of lawsuits last year filed after he falsely claimed that the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre was a hoax

True, but the comments were from pre-pandemic times.
Guessing the 9 was meant to be a 0. (They are self-described as "clumsy.")
Your phone might be listening in the background (e.g. Hey Siri needs this to work). Even with the option off (as you said), it might still be processing words on-device for better suggestions.

Another non-tinfoil explanation would be cross matching a lot of data from here and there (for example, if you had some event in calender with their names or their name was in some message/text even if you haven't called them for years) and might got its way in there too. There is probably much more going on that I don't even know, too.

The point is: while it could be phone listening, it can very well be a result of some huge data processing on your device without listening too.

edit: oh, having read the other comments, coincidence/selective bias is even more likely than anything I've written.

Same here but one aspect where MacOS is behind iOS is in Message filtering: there is no “filtered” setting for Messages on MacOS.
The easiest way to understand this isn't happening is just to hook your phone up to a proxy like Charles, you see all network requests. If speaking automatically triggers some request you'd see it immediately (and see the URL and payload)

There was a similar conspiracy when I was in the army, about phones being able to be eavesdropped/wiretapped even when turned off. In short - they can't, but people always believed there was some super secret way to do that
It's not bullshit. It is the 3rd language, in a synthetic effort from the local government.

You could say that this is not bad, ok. But you can't deny it.
It can't possibly be "clear" because it doesn't follow from the problem description. Which, verbatim, was simply this:

Maybe "adding a command" involves "hacking the codebase"; maybe it doesn't.

From the problem statement as such, you can't tell.

Ok, yes, you can plan a modern mission where this kind of equipment, alongside some electronic warfare, other crafts and good intel, results in a success against a high level enemy. You are right. Although a good old f16 or f18 would be a lot more useful in such a role

I just meant to say that something like "we fly this drone, alone, here, make a quick kill and come back" only works against very under-armed military groups. Ukraine, as an example, is well above that level of defense.

Also, I am eagerly awaiting reliable information on how did it happen that TB2s were such a force against Russian tanks. I suspect extreme levels of Russian bardak while covering their own forces with air defense layers.
I’ve been very fortunate. My phone number is for an area code 2000 miles away, so I only answer the phone if a local number is calling. Everything else I just ignore.
We are drowning in spam because the spammers use automatic systems while we don't or can't.
When I receive a call from a number outside my contacts that has never called me before I want a dialog to pop up after I close the call that asks me if I want to block the caller or whitelist him. This way if I receive a spam call I can immediately hang up and block it without navigating through some baroque UI and manually blacklist it. I still have found no landline phone that offers a similar functionality and I'm stuck with manually blocking numbers from a horrible webUI
So you had this person's info in your contacts, and when you started autocompleting a number with a picture of them while you were in the same (geo)location (no less surrounded by other people that know/have this info), the information was autocompleted...

and your conclusion is that this is audio data being misused!?
Random observation:

If CRISPR enabled a way to achieve the same outcome while avoiding these concerns (to be clear, I have no idea whether this is a possibility), that would seem to be a desirable outcome from all points of view.
Not the description that we're seeing; it starts with downloading source code that you are told you will need to build.
In the near term, EVs are a great way to lower the emissions of a small number of vehicles. Hybrids allow us a better way to allocate our currently limited supply of batteries and reduce fuel usage across the fleet.

Of course both of these compete with mass transit and simply driving less.

Disclosure: I own an EV. While I believe hybrids are better for society as a whole, I like my EV and there's a 50/50 shot I'll stay with EVs when my lease expires. That said, it would be nice to avoid the hassle of charging and get rid of my range anxiety.
Correction: Anyone doing things that the government doesn’t like will probably be forced to face the fact that the government is the arbiter of what is, and isn’t, “illegal”.
One time I was with some friends and we tested something like this.

We chose a random thing I've never purchased, looked at, or have any interest in: "lawnmowers".

We put my phone on the table and said lawnmowers a lot, waited a few minutes, then I went to a website I know that has a lot of ads (Notebook Check - not that it matters).

Then I scrolled down and waited for an ad to load and it was FOR A LAWNMOWER. I don't even have a lawn!

Ardour has 10's of thousands of users, many of which get the software from their Linux distributions. Nevertheless, more than 6000 of these individuals choose to help fund the project to the tune of between $150k and $210k a year.

But, they have slowed up calling me.
The pilot here flew between 2013 and 2018. The drone strikes he conducted were the ones that made front-page news for bombing weddings and schools. Does that make him worthy of your empathy?
The implication is partially two fold:

(1) Most business owners ("millions of small business owners"), especially those that are independent LLC owners, do not fully understand the cost implications of their business's financial health. By their very nature, they do not have dedicated financial expertise, typically lack strong accounting principles, etc. My sister, a personal trainer, is a great example of this. I had to explain to her what "writing off" expenses actually meant.

more importantly:

(2) Uber knows this and exploits it.
