While I find sites making that alleged claim, I'm having a hard time tracking down its veracity.

I've found several examples of it used in the 1800s, like:

1) The Salt-Cellars (1889) - https://archive.org/details/saltcellarsbein02spurgoog/page/n...

> A man of many professions has but few profits. / A man of many trades begs his bread on Sunday. / A man of many trades lives on short commons.

> He is so deficient and inefficient that he never gets on. Being Jack-of -all-trades he is master of none, and can do nothing properly. As soon as he is known his customers are gone.

2) The English review, or, An abstract of English and foreign literature, v 9, (1788) - https://archive.org/details/englishreviewor11unkngoog/page/3...

> If every man take the advice of every one of these benevolent essayists, every man, according to the proverb, will become a Jack of all trades but master of none.

3) An impartial and comprehensive view of the present state of Great Britain, containing ... [rest of the very long title omitted] (1797) - https://archive.org/details/impartialcompreh00keituoft/page/...

> Instead of being Jack of all trades, but master of none, every one of John's servants became very expert at his particular employment. He had now the best ploughs, carts and wagons in all the country, and also the best ploughmen and wagoners. His weavers manufactured his wool into the finest cloth; and John derived great advantages from their industry.

None of them had the longer version you listed, and that last example implies it's better to have servants who are each a master of one (and often different ones) than Jacks-of-all-trades.

Mexico's President disbands anti-narcotics unit that worked with DEA
Agreed; one major reason Bitcoin became so valuable is its capped emission with the majority of supply taken up by early adopters due to Fear Of Missing Out.
Tt would be less valuable when undesirable for speculators, which can be achieved with a more equitable emission such as a pure linear one.
> Samsung phones does 4 years of updates now.

That's really, really poor. I mean it's good for the Android ecosystem but their biggest competitor is at six+.

edit: replaced "almost twice that number of years" with "six+".
I'd accidentally dropped my Mi Mix 2S in the bath and screwed the display, so while I waited a month for a new display & body to arrive from China I grabbed a refurbished Pixel 3a to hold me over.
After seeing the absolute state of the Android 12 UI, I'm bailing out to a Pinephone Pro as soon as its viable.
Good point, had not thought of it in this way before!
Kind of like taking a paper plane to prove that you can’t fly humans from point A to point B
I have aphantasia.

I love reading fiction, but books that rely on extensive visual imagery tend to fall flat for me (most recently The Night Circus, but there have been others).
This whole green bubble seems to be very much an American phenomenon, I don't think it's the one responsible. Outside the US people just use WhatsApp.
> but they are one of the only groups working on the biggest issue with federation.

This issue you are talking about is reliably solved ny owning your own domain. You can self-host it or use the commercial provider for it, either way you can change provider and retain your address.

And regarding these matrix guys, they are so overtaken by a NIH syndrome [1] that they couldn't even follow a common URI syntax. Are you really sure they are best fit to develop standard protocols of any kind?

There's a pretty big spectrum between "safe" and "catastrophic".

Probably only a fraction of a percent of the transmission energy is getting absorbed by the body, but that doesn't mean I'd want to try it out.

I think the idea is that you'd take basic measures to try to avoid/discourage exposure, but you wouldn't have to worry about any extreme safety measures to guarantee it.
I've heard of it and still have no idea if I have it or not, if what I picture (basically nothing, but I'd still be able to remember the layout of a room for example) is the same as what most people do, but we describe it differently, if there is some condition where one can picture even less than me, if people can actually close their eyes and "see" a scene as if their eyes are open (this I find dubious), etc.

I think the confusing nd somewhat ambiguous description of aphantasia, and the highly literal nature of many HN folks makes it more common for people to either think they may have it, or so question how others see stuff, so are more curious about it.
Well, I don't really know the iOS system, but Android lets you authorize (or block) each different interface of notifications (like text, sounds, or appearing at the top) for each different application, and you can do that right from the notification itself.

I imagine this is what the GP is talking about.
> Here's a website that tries to explain what it's like to embrace the plurality of one's being

I'm not sure if the content matches your description of the site, or your description is ambiguous, or...there's work to be done in the reader's mind to understand your point than you articulated.

Specifically, I don't think that conflicting desires or emotions in people inherently equates to plurality in "one's being", but this site immediately jumps off from the perspective that you are communicating with a collective person. So, my take away is that your point is that everyone is plural?

> It's like the ability to address the ambiguity of one's mind, without needing to admit that it is fundamentally fractured

I still also don't think that ambiguity or admitting that your mind is "fundamentally fractured" immediately equates to plurality?

Maybe I'm missing some nuance here?
That’s true only if you care about storing historical data
I don't think his statement is that unreasonable. the world is perceived and interfaced as macro yet the quantum is is what makes the macro. So you have to figure out where the macro becomes the quantum.
> they've cut off security upgrades

Same reason I switched to Apple last year -- after being android only since original Motorola Droid (2009).
Working on games with Unity for nearly a decade, the standard approach is to defer upgrading Unity as long as possible. Generally we stay on the old LTS (Long-term support) version until it’s no longer supported. Latest version and new LTS are very unstable with game crashing bugs on certain platforms that I had to spend weeks to track down and spend weeks to convince Unity QA there is actually a problem then wait for months to get it fixed. It’s better to just stay away from the latest and greatest, having other people do the demining.
A modern phone contains around 50-70 individual ranging receivers, all capable of operating simultaneously (each with its own spread spectrum sequence, Doppler shift etc).

The GNSS chip typically has 30-60. The 3G modem (if enabled) has ~10 independent receivers (called "fingers" in CDMA parlance). WiFi has 1 (legacy 802.11b).
> The Rubel is going to be pinned to the Gold standard. This makes the Rubel incredibly attractive as it can be a stable currency and easier to purchase than Gold itself

The Rubel can be just as easy "unpinned" from gold on any given day by a politician's decision and that's absolutely something you can expect from Russia.
Entangled photon apparatus for the undergraduate laboratory (2002)
Tufte catches some flack for being opinionated, but having met the man I can attest that he is both brilliant and astute. His seminar leveled up my design skills more than I even imagined. It was interesting watching how many attendees were so committed to their own conceptions that they learned nothing though.
Cross platform terminal app from Visual Studio Code
Indeed. I fail to see how validators in PoS systems are any different to eg shareholders of Visa.
this one really brings me joy :)
Games aren't like other software. People are still playing Psychonauts even though it hasn't been updated in a decade. Double Fine doesn't have the resources to go in and update the game engine every year.

(I'd argue there's more room for this in non-game software as well, but certainly for games...)
TIL one of the two pilots in this incident is named Nguyen Van Bay, yet is not the same Nguyen Van Bay who is a famous jet fighter ace for the Vietnam People's Air Force.
It’s fine. I mean Apple refunds you if the App you bought gets removed, right?
You can’t generalize that
Because it's easier to pump a stock and commit securities fraud using something considered universally cool such as a sports car as the hook/cover , as opposed to something ethereal and invisible such as a software program like Teams or Zoom.
Google is not operating system vendor for all Android phones.

They release a generic template, other vendors then apply platform kits for the SoCs they use and they release the operating system for their devices. Google has no idea what it runs on, or what is needed to make it run on specific devices. It is the vendor's task.

Mobile devices have no UEFI, no bus enumeration, so the OS image has to be taylored for each device. It is similar to Raspberry or Odroid or similar SBCs: althrough both are arm, you cannot use Ubuntu (or other disto) image intended for one on another.
I still miss Firefox OS. What happened to it? To me it seems that it was going well, but it was impossible to buy a phone with Firefox OS.
Of course if QM is a current ly valid theory that it can be found in many of these examples but we don't really need to know about QM or the way it works to have a microwave oven or semiconductors. You don't use QM when modelling relevant things to get a semiconductor working, at least not the ones we were taught at college. My point being is I understand QM apparently underlies everything but do we ever really care? I did hear though that for current cutting edge semiconductors they have to take into account QM
Well, apparently. For reference neutrinos from the Sun are around 30W 24/7 and does it harm us?

I appreciate your perspective even though I disagree with it, and I'm sorry that you're being flagged and downvoted for posting what amounts to your opinion. Having said that, I'm curious: what does the Russian public education system teach you about Hitler and the events leading up to WWII?

Here in the US, we are taught that Hitler first threatened, then proceeded, to invade his country's neighbors. His rationale: we are protecting ethnic German enclaves, we are seeking to recover losses from Germany's previous disastrous approach to world politics (i.e., WWI), and we are entitled to secure more living space for the German people along with the economic self-determinism that it will bring.

I imagine that most Europeans are taught similar things.

So, is it surprising that many Westerners are disturbed by the parallels between Hitler's actions in the 1930s and Putin's actions today? It is easy to convince us that Putin has to be stopped at (almost) any cost, because we have seen -- or at least, we believe we have seen -- the consequences of letting a schoolyard bully dictate terms at the international level.

Certainly it feels awkward to lecture a Russian on such matters, since your country suffered by far the worst losses due to Nazi aggression and expansionism. Yet the lesson seems entirely lost on your countrymen. What do they teach you over there, exactly, that makes Putin's behavior seem acceptable?
injecting ivermectin or bleach or whatever qanon covid cure du jour ...is hard

Which, frankly, is a good thing.
Most people aren’t using $ in words like Msft. Most likely find that weird. Same with caring about telemetry if they even know its definition. This is not even getting into not caring about all of this enough to call stuff “cancer”
Closing with people on the other side aren't going to agree with me makes me think this person likes stirring the pot and getting attention, which is one of the things called out as dangerous in their argument. FWIW, I think lots of people self diagnose for attention and I absolutely agree that mental health shouldn't be something we laud (we should normalize it though) even though the author would almost definitely group me with the leftists.
In PoS systems validators can vote for both chains in case of a fork, as there is nothing at stake. It's not about honesty. It's about resources being committed.
I still use EasyToon, originally published 1998. Then again, I'm on the only operating system that actually values backwards compatibility.

Consider the Android distros that are free from Google services. I am on /e/OS which has an android base. Between its app store and F-Droid, you get almost everything you'd want from a mobile OS (minus games) without all the Google/Apple/Samsung crap.
I enjoy reading a lots, but I prefer dialogs over long descriptions. I don't visualize how the characters / places can looks from descriptions. Unless the writing is really clear, I may struggle if the layout of the scene is important (say a crime scene with a description of the room, its exits, ...).

I sometimes skip description of the characters physique because I know that I won't remember it a few page later, and it usually do not matter in the story anyway (and if it matters, it is usually reminded to the reader because aphantasia is not the only reason a reader may not remember how a character is dressed or looks like).
> Apple has now forced these companies to maintain their stuff

No it hasn't. They can rebuild without improving anything.
> Most (US) homes put outlets on a 15A breaker (sometimes 20A), which gives have 1.8 kW to play with. So this is less power than a typical home outlet.

US outlets run at 15A, but per the NEC [0] no single plug-in appliance can continuously pull more than 80% of the max rating, or 12A. Which is why space heaters all max out at 1500W instead of 1800W. But an intermittent appliance, like a hair dryer or toaster, can pull the full 1800W though.

Almost all attack services are now updated remotely by Google for security issues. In the kernel only video drivers can be updated remotely (and support for this depends on the vendor).

I think it is a much better way to do security updates than the Apple model - security issues shouldn't have to wait for the next firmware update and for the user to apply them.
You are babbling full-on gibberish now.

"The people who are a party to shared source licenses, have access to the source"

So do the employees of the original vendor. So what? How does that matter at all? It means nothing and has no bearing on this topic.

"FOSS software can also be subject to NDA."

Bwhahh wut? No. And I mean, by definition, no.

An organization may take some foss and use it internally and hide that modified internal version, but that means nothing to anyone else. They can't nda the original software they forked from, and they can't even nda their modified version unless the original happens to be MIT-like or they never redistribute it.

There is a lot of MIT software which doesn't require sharing back, but that still doesn't change anything.

Their private mods are no different than anything else they write privately. Whether the private thing is a diff off of a public thing, or something standalone, makes no difference and has no bearing on the original public thing. Their new private thing, if it is nda'd, is then by definition, not foss. It doesn't matter that it's comprised of a copy of some other foss plus whatever they added. It's now just some proprietary software like any other.

None of that harms anyone else or makes foss somehow just as limited as proprietary or proprietary just as available as foss.

What a bizzare claim to try to make.
I doubt most CS grads find working as web devs attractive. Plenty of other, better paying, more fulfilling, more prestigious software engineering jobs with a low bullshit factor available where they can thrive. And it just so happens that you don't need to "spend 1+ years to learn the tooling".
Just because it's not testable does not mean it's not worthwhile. General relativity would still exist even if it could not be tested, fortunately , it is easy to empirically verify. But if the math is sound and meets certain assumptions, then it may be the correct theory. Having many mathematically sound candidates for a correct theory is better than nothing. That' why it's called theoretical physics. She seems to be ignoring that part. By her logic, theoretical physics is a waste of time.
> If you're interested in liberty here, you should be backing twitter's right to do this.

Indeed, so long as it isn't the government enforcing it on everyone, then the free market will come up with a competitor that will arguably start attracting those most aware of the importance of and aligned with freedom, freedom of speech - those people who arguably are on average much more highly competent and earning a higher income to be able to financially support a better model, and likewise bring their network(s) with them; I am working on launching such a competitor and believe I'm designing a platform model and launch/growth strategy that will work very well.
Just got hooked up in Oakland and loving it! Paying $70 less per month vs Comcast
Software engineering is != software development

* Edit: Not sure why this was down voted. Software development is one skill of many in software engineering. Software engineering should be an academic degree IMO
I think you replied to the wrong comment? I am quite familiar with the power of the Android notification system. iOS notifications pale in comparison.
Yes, I did. The government banned them in the public schools. I didn't.
Apple Developers fed up with Apple's overbearance
I had Xposed with a Note 3 or 4. It didn’t seem like the amount of customizing and tweaks were close to what iOS jailbreaking had. Maybe I never found the right place to figure stuff out. For iOS jailbreaking I just go to the subreddit once in a while for a bit.
> it's a little less clear than "selfless librarians vs meddlesome politicians".

It that were true - that is, if the politicians were in the right, and the librarians the wrong - the laws in question would mandate the presence of needed books (at least by request), not the absence of objectionable ones.
> In fact it functions as a classic creative constraint.

If I might play devil's advocate a bit—aren't submitters not supposed to be creative in titles?

"Unless it's misleading or clickbait", yes, but I don't think there's a correlation between click-bait and length. I feel like a lot of titles get edited because of the character limit.
You are partially correct, absolute cynicism would mean that you would see the possibility that any hypothesis can be wrong before testing it so you’d just not do any experiment at all. So you do need to be optimistic.

But that’s not what most scientists do today. They are cynics masquerading (even to themselves) as optimists. They have preprogrammed themselves to never even think of a question that has a good chance of failing, modern academia has collectively programmed them all to only ask questions that never have a real chance of being false to begin with. So just softball niche questions or in the case of the videos topic, reformulate the question in a way so that the answer doesn’t fundamentally solve the real problem. Both because the real problem might be unsolvable and also because if you solve the problem then you have fired yourself from yoUr job.

Now you might think I and Sabine and others are just shitting on scientists doing the work, but many of us are only doing so after wasting decades with this establishment and giving up. Perhaps you can see that for yourself earlier and save yourself a lifetime.
> Which economy? Certainly not the ones that are getting destroyed by "biggest ever recorded" tropical cyclones.

The literature is mixed on whether climate change is really the cause on these recent natural disasters and, if it is, on how it impacts those disasters (e.g. reducing the frequency of the disasters, changing their location, etc).

> Maybe he meant Sweden finally being able to grow and export bananas?

Your example of Sweden is a rich country, but most of the increases in crop production would take place on developing countries - and that is a big deal for them.
Feynman most probably would be a youtuber if he were alive.

Even posthumously he’s been one of the most popular educators on youtube.
I don't think those are good examples. I'm almost certain I have aphantasia but I think spatially. I don't "see" things around me in my "mind's eye", it's more like how you're aware of a nearby hot stove because you feel its heat, or an electrical device that gives off a low hum.

When programming, I have the code "mapped out" around me but likewise not optically but more "intuitively". I might be able to tell you in which direction a given piece of logic exists relative to me but it's more like how you can gauge what direction a sound comes from than having an image in my head that would allow me to tell you a specific place or distance. Note that I use sound to describe this but I don't have particularly exceptional hearing as far as I'm aware (e.g. no musical skills whatsoever).

I suppose I should also add that I don't have an "inner monologue". In fact I always thought references to the "voice in your head" were entirely metaphorical. This often makes it hard for me to explain my thoughts as I first need to try to find the right words to put them in language.
> De jure it's not really legal anymore since they updated the law... De facto nobody cares as long as you're not making a business out of it.

My claim was founded on authoritative sources, including the law itself. If you want to contradict that claim, you'll need to back it up.
There's a lot of government money involved with things like rockets and electric vehicles. He's also going after boomer aged investors who could never imagine not needing a car or say sending only drones to explore space instead of blowing trillions on manned space missions of dubious scientific merit.
Record everything and get a lawyer, you might be able to sue them and earn a large sum. Let Microsoft know maybe they could support you legally.
>> No one’s saying Twitter doesn’t have the right to do this.

> Except it’s well within their rights to do this.

Swing and a miss.
This argument is so boring, it's the same every time.

"They can build their own Twitter!"

We have monopoly laws, they are not fundamentally at odds with liberty, they recognize that it's undesirable for society to have monopolies exercising market power. These need to be updated to reflect the current platform monopolies. Just like the phone company can't tell you what you can talk about on the phone, or railroads have to share their tracks under some conditions. Applying the same thing to Twitter and other bug tech platforms is a logical extension. The only difference is it would also involve the government/establishment giving up power
It's called code-rot..

Systems improve over time. Apple's privacy in iOS improved a lot. Not updating your apps makes it hard to keep up with API changes. Its normal you have todo some work to ensure it still works. Sometimes you're out of luck. But not all dependencies stay with us forever. Software is sadly enough not immutable, environment impacts how software runs... My old android game stopped working on newer devices 3 years ago due to a OpenGL bug that was fixed, i depended on the bug in order to make my app work.

Welcome to the real world
Quite unusual. It's also harder to purchase devices with 2 (physical) SIM slots (a popular feature in Asia)
That's definitely one of the reasons I don't live in the USA or in Russia.

You guys spend too much time driving.

The CO2 impact from cars is not that high though. Probably carbon sequestration is a fastest / cheapest route.
