God, I had the HTC One (M7). That was such an amazing device, it's a real shame that nobody has come along and made something that felt quite as... phone as it did.

Even having used punch-hole cameras and OLED displays, that handset was just amazing. The way the curved back would melt into your hand, the perfect button placement and incredible speaker setup... that thing felt like a phone from 5 years in the future. The software experience was fairly clean and beat the hell out of Samsung at the time (and arguably, today), and the performance was really solid. The screen was a gorgeous 1080p LCD panel that made comparable iPhone models look like a kid's toy, and both cameras were super competitive for the time. I'm just gushing at this point, but that phone was really something else. If they made a new one with zero changes except a more recent chipset and better storage, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

And who could forget the price? All that for ~400 bones in the US, in 2013? You could even land it cheaper if you bought it on contract with a carrier! They really just don't make them like they used to, even my S10e doesn't quite fill the void.

I think you are implying that most people are 'happy enough' with the current businesses they interact with.

Most people realize that a business will only change if a significant portion of buyers change their spending habits, and individually choosing to not support a business out of ethical concerns only hurts themselves.

Then there ends up being a lot of people who buy products from businesses they hate, and would support collective action against those businesses, like passing laws.

People like that aren't dumb, they are just trying to work around how their next best option is so much worse than buying the original product.

I imagine that you will have issues when you enable the setting to make the snapshot directory visible, or it'll behave like a folder that has things in it when you mount something onto the same place (you think you just overwrote all the files, but then you unmount the second thing and it's fine).

Looks like by default the `.zfs/snapshot` folder is owned by root, but has 777 permissions. Then inside the snapshots themselves they have the same permissions as the main pool.

Not sure if there is a way to configure permissions on it, but if security is a concern, you could leave it disabled with `snapdir=hidden`, then just set it to `visible` if you need in there. I think it's disabled by default, so if you haven't gone out of your way to turn it on you're probably good. If you want to leave it visible all the time, you probably want apparmor or something to manage access.
I wrote a chapter about this in my upcoming book. I'll spare the details and go into the tips. I'm going to share it here because this question is one I've tried to answer over the last few years.

How To Think With Information Overload
===

Here's my five-to-thrive idea for learning about something without information overload. You can also do this with vetted internet articles too, but be picky!

1. Start with the most popular & best selling book on the topic.

2. Next, a popular, but slightly more technical book on the topic.

3. Third, a semi-technical book that builds on the ideas of the first two books.

4. Follow it up with a hard book that brings in problems & opinions from experts.

5. Last, a book that talks about the future of the topic.

...

While there are many different mediums in which you can get your information, I personally prefer books due to the amount of time that goes into them. The idea that you can absorb years of somebody’s life work in a few hours might just be the greatest gift we’ve been given.

===
Low Information Diet
===

As Michael Pollan says about plant-based foods: “If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don’t.” I needed to supplement my content consumption with information straight from the source, not manufactured in a plant by online personalities or agencies.

...

I had to train myself to stop clicking on clickbait by asking a question first. “Will I change anything about my life if I knew the answer to this question?”. The answer surely was no every single time, and I started to click less.

...

Your actions are a consequence of your thoughts. Your thoughts are a consequence of what you consume. And what you consume is largely a consequence of how you filter and refine your information diet. If you choose better inputs, you’ll get better outputs.

===

Some other things to be careful of is "pluralistic ignorance" and "sensory deprivation" when it comes to only getting your information from a screen. The internet, TV, and computers are beautiful, but also can cause these feelings faster than traditional ways of getting information. I personally opt for less screen time and more ways to learn from others and nature. That keeps the baddies like analysis paralysis, FOMO, and anxiety at bay. It also makes life much more serendipitous and organic.

Apple has a specific program to recycle used iPhones. There's a video floating around somewhere on their site about some robot they built for the task. I'm fairly certain they'll take your used Apple hardware for free at any store worldwide and might even do a better job recycling it than a generic deposit (although those may just pass it on to them anyway).

This program–the deposit–is strictly about increasing recycling quotas. They do have a refurb program but they'll actually pay you for hardware that can be used for that.

Good writers probably do have the best insight on what the best books are, but that's a clear conflict of interest. It also gives less visibility to new or "indie" writers.

Some sites, such as Drive Thru RPG, do not allow you to leave reviews if you are a publisher, presumably to avoid this conflict. Folks can certainly log on with their personal account, but at least it is some level of accountability.
"color blind" is not where we are and trying to set that as the goal right now is causing problems. People do have different experiences in the world because of their races and pretending the races don't exist makes you blind to those effects.

And 100 years of what now? A black man was lynched in my home town during my lifetime. My father was well into adulthood when desegregation began. I think you're gonna have to start the clock a little more recently.

This stuff is still living memory, the effects of them linger tangibly in people's lives today. Ignoring race in data collection is a form of denial of it frankly.
One big reason is it’s insecure.

Wow it really is you just making up crazy crap again.

I am not saying the guy did or didn’t die in an actual accident. I am saying the implication that this was an assassination is tinfoil level of crazy because it’s a very avoidable accident and anyone doing even a minimum level of investigation or having ever taken a drivers Ed course should know.

Here’s some of the variety I was talking about: "Smart throttle" solutions

Some new vehicles come with "smart throttle" technology, which reduces the possibility of unintended accelerations caused by mechanical failures. These computer-based systems recognize when both the brake and accelerator are being depressed. They also tell the engine to give precedence to braking and to ignore the accelerator.

https://www.statefarm.com/simple-insights/auto-and-vehicles/...

The also give the normal advice: “Stay calm and try not to panic.
Push the brake firmly with both feet and hold it down. Don't pump the brake pedal or release it because you will lose all your vacuum power assist, causing your brakes to become stiff and very hard.
Shift the car into neutral. If the car has a manual transmission, remember to depress the clutch to shift gears.
Steadily hold the brake and look for an escape route, like a hard shoulder on the highway. Avoid quick lane changes, which could cause you to swerve and lose control of the vehicle. If possible, steer in a straight line.
Do not turn off the engine unless shifting into neutral is unsuccessful. Turning off the engine will turn off the power-assist brake functions, making it harder to maneuver the car.
When you have come to a controlled stop out of the way of traffic, turn the engine off (if you have not already done so). If you use a key, keep it in the ignition when you turn off the engine so the steering wheel doesn't lock.
If your vehicle has a start on/off button, hold the button down for at least three seconds to disable the vehicle. Do not tap repeatedly.
Call for assistance. Do not drive the vehicle until it has been professionally serviced.”

You know, if you’re really good with Postgres queries, you could run entire businesses, blogs, apps, just by using SQL queries and not even have a frontend or backend. And when you want to present your data, you could use a well formatted PostgreSQL view to make it easier to read. This man’s entire status page could just be a view with appropriate columns. And if you want others to read or write data, you could assign them roles with permissions so they don’t go screwing things up or seeing things they shouldn’t.

> At least NK is open and explicit.

Disagreed, the secrecy is a symptom of desire to avoid public retaliation because they know it will affect those who sponsor such programs.

This highlights there is need to continue to expose such systems via strong journalism + protections of freedom of speech (as written in the 1st amendment).

Saying "at least NK is open and explicit" is because the government fears nothing with absolute control, and as the grandparent comment says - we cannot forget this key difference.

> systems that are built on "UTF-16" (i.e., really UCS-2) use designs centered around the ability to random-access Unicode strings despite the fact that doing so reliably isn't possible.

100% this. In javascript you can accidentally cut characters in half. This lets you accidentally construct strings which have invalid encodings - and that can lead to all sorts of weird problems. In comparison, using rust's safe API, its impossible to construct a string which contains invalid unicode.

For example, if I put an emoji like this U+1F970 in javascript, I can then split it in half and put one half into a JSON string - like this: "\"\\ud83e\"". Javascript will treat this as "one character". Rust will treat this as an encoding error, and will refuse to parse it back into a string.

Another implication is that javascript's .length field looks useful, but its almost never what you actually want. How many unicode characters in this string: "\ud83e\udd70"? Trick question - even though javascript says the string's length is 2, there's only 1 unicode character in that string. How many bytes does this string (with JS length 1) "\u270C" take up over the wire? Javascript says the length is 1, but it takes 2 bytes to send in any encoding (utf8 or utf16).

What a mess.

There are a lot of different C compilers (not so many C++), dozens of ISAs (although not as many as before) and ABIs (ditto) and many, many thousands of implementations of ISAs and ABIs, all done with widely varying degrees of attention to detail.

There are myriad places for mistakes to manifest. Caches, interrupt behavior, and sleep modes are favorite places for implementation bugs. But bitfields are a place ordinary programmers might still encounter them.

Anybody used to working with buggy one-off chip designs knows all about this. But most programmers are insulated from most bugs. The warning is for them.
> your choice was to sell your freedom in exchange for shiny baubles.

Actually, my choice was that Apple engineers with teams, budgets, etc. and a mandate to protect my privacy will do a better job initially and certainly a better job with updates, than I would installing a collection of OSS software on a rooted Android phone. I mean, most people, if they care at all, slam umatrix as an add on with the default lists and call it a day. It's the same outsourcing, but to volunteers.

> This is the power you have. It is more democratic than voting.

I don't know about you, but I only stopped by physical keyboard having phones when the stopped selling them. You can look at dumb TVs, dumb cars, and a lot of other examples where they just don't make some options anymore. I mean, sure I can buy ethically, and try to, but I don't convince myself my money is the make and break difference. Hell, if you look at my purchase habits, you'll see I frequently am on the losing side.

Also, it's kinda bizarre to claim that the free market is more democratic than voting, since voting is the gold standard of democracy.

There's also the consideration that nurses don't leave, because they can see that patient care standards are not good, and they worry that if they leave, their colleagues will be forced take up the slack, employers won't replace them (since the colleagues took up the slack), and they will reward themselves for having found a way to "improve efficiency."

There are, of course, onlookers who are unable to even perceive the moral dimensions that normal human beings take for granted. Perhaps they were beamed down from the mothership just yesterday? The prevalence of psychopathy among human beings cannot be as high as it would appear from the average internet message-board, can it?
"Wait 'til you hear about people who record conversations the park! The spook bouncing lasers off the window of your home & office to reconstruct audio of your conversations will seem quaint by comparison."

In other words: most of the proper sense of proportion here is set by what reasonable expectations of privacy are.

I can certainly appreciate the merits of a communication channel that features secure messages in transit. But I don't expect that by default. Privacy expectations should be set by contract or statute.

On the other hand, I definitely expect that conversations in my residence or data on my device should be private by default.

Eavesdropping is a whole different category from intrusion, even if you find both unpleasant.

I think it's more of the airliner version of the X-29. Yes, it can be made to fly, but only when controlled against normal aeronautic tendencies.

> Does it really matter if a person that has knowledge got it from sitting in a seat, paying ungodly amounts of tuition, or if they got it from life experience?

well, the real life experience is much more preferable. But the general model of professional industries unfortunately require sitting in a seat for years and getting a piece of paper before resetting 80% of what you learned with imperfect realities.

I'm glad there is an option like this for a developer thrown out of the market without a degree to fast track their way to that piece of paper, but it's a shame that piece of paper is held in such high regards
