I used to live in a major Texas city that refused to implement a bus service. After several years of criticism, they decided to finally trial a bus service. They setup bus stops around the city to gather data and determine if this would be a service residents would use. Several bus stop started to appear about 2 miles from my home basically on a main parkway next to an open field. There were no bus stops next to the largest shopping mall in the community, nor in or around any of the growing suburbs that were forming during this time. Of course their trial failed because of lack of demand. They used this lack of demand to justify shutting down the service within a year of starting it.

This is what Apple is doing. Setting a bus stop up next to an open field which will inevitably create data proving their narrative.

A genuine attempt would certainly utilize their own branding. Creating a clear intent to bridge the trust their customers have gained for their brand to this service. Additionally, they would at least attempt to sell parts a lower cost since their own repair service is just a few dollars more.

I think it is fairly clear what their intentions are with this service based on how they are incentivizing it's use.
A university doesn't cost 200K. Even in the US residents pay less than that and if you take into account community college for the first 2 years it's not really as absurdly expensive as it's made out to be. Please don't spread half-baked misinformation.

>That, plus CMU OMSCS, seems like something they could finish by age 17. Socially, I'm not sure they'd do well starting traditional college early. Academically, middle / high school seems like a waste of time.

Apparently even high school is a waste of time. What's not a waste of time for you? Are you to be put directly as head of engineering at Tesla so that someone as gifted as you doesn't "waste" their precious time?

> That’s Finland, which is not Scandinavia.

Had to look that one up. Doesn’t seem clear cut given that Wikipedia lists Finland as part of the “wider” definition of Scandinavia.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia

EDIT: Reading further it looks like the English usage of the word Scandinavia is often used in a broader sense (to include Finland) whereas local usage of the term tends to refer to a more narrow definition.

Interesting. I never knew this difference in definition existed.
There's weeder courses and then there's weeder courses.

Some courses are just hard because the concepts are hard. If you're not down to clown, you're not going to make it past it.

Some courses are deliberate obstacles. The degree program at the university I attended had a single course that essentially pivoted you from the 200 level courses to the 300 level courses. It was always full due to it being a requirement and having a high failure rate necessitating people to retake it multiple times.

I never got a chance to take it because I ran out of lower level courses and electives to take to maintain full time status. Without full time status, I couldn't maintain my financial aid. Without my financial aid, I couldn't afford college.

A couple of years later, the program was restructured and the "pivot" was removed. As was other bullshit one was forced to take. If I had started the program a year later, I could have actually completed it. Or if I could have just taken the class. I never struggled with the material.

It's remarkable that cloud providers don't offer a simple authorization-centric view of data access today. It reminds me of AWS's hands-off approach to locking down S3 buckets for so long. They are happy to sell you the gun and ammo and it's not their fault when you shoot yourself in the foot.
No, I meant "for". If you just want to learn the material, you can learn it about as effectively for free with self-study and online MOOCs. It's the credentials that cost money, and the economic assumption is that the credentials are why people attend universities. Did you go to MIT because you wanted a high course load or because you wanted a prestigious degree?

This thread matches my experience with Mastodon and Diaspora*. It's fine if you are happy to live on individual instances and pretend that other instances do not exist, but they are not so great if you want a global audience.

I use https://github.com/itchyny/gojq . I like `jq`'s functional style, but I don't like the way it breaks number precision (or used to).

However, for deep `jq` selects I use `<file.json | gron | grep key -C n | norg` where `norg` is `gron --ungron`.

I also prefer `gron` for ad-hoc pipelines and `jq` for longer-lasting ones.

We were very explicit in our decision for Crunchy Bridge [1] to not require an enterprise account or upcharge to support SSO enforcement [2] for teams. As a database provider you're trusting us with your data. SSO is a good security feature, you shouldn't have to pay extra for good security.

> The problem is that spam was/is so bad that extreme measures were taken to curb it.

The problem with spam is that there's no real legal recourse for spam. If it's in your own country then maybe. But outside of your country? Well the easiest thing to do is to IP block and the next best thing to do (when IP block isn't an option) is to use some sort of "smart detection" to put spam into a special box labeled "spam". There's no deterrence and literally no criminal prosecution for spam.

I felt the same way until I started being more active in choosing quality doctors. Doctors are no different than any other profession - there are the ones at the bottom of their league that are just going through the motions and there are the superstars working for some of the best institutions in the world. The key I have found is to specifically look for doctors that are either actively involved in academic research pertaining to your ailment or are working at quality institutions that are engaging in research that is at least tangentially related to your issue.

Keep in mind they also have to do a stupid amount of paperwork these days for every patient and the place they work for may be overscheduling the crap out of them - generally (unfortunately) I always consider my first appointment to be sort of a wash due to this and assume I am not going to really get anywhere until the second time I see them.

It's a shame that you're being downvoted, because there is a lot of merit to what you say. Business leaders do not always value technical craftsmanship and quality to the same extent that we do. And that creates situations where even competent developers are incentivized to cut corners, deliver work that they aren't necessarily proud of, etc. But as long as "the business" is funding the work, and it is "just good enough" to meet their needs, that's the way things are going to remain.

Do I like this state of affairs? Not at all. But it would be silly to ignore the plain, obvious truth.

I read this a few weeks ago and thought how on earth does one deal
with such a terrible tragedy?

It is obvious, by any statistical analysis, that there is a single
common cause. Something went horribly wrong many years ago. And
behind that cause is almost certainly liability and therefore
provision of treatment or compensation to ease the misery of those
affected.

The problem is that tracing the cause is likely impossible. Digging
through the past, sending discovery letters, interviewing witnesses,
and turning up stones best left alone would cost a fortune and take
forever. What always seems to happen is that by the time there's any
case, trial and remedy the victims and perpetrators have all died.

For things like this we need national insurance pools. They should be
paid into by chemical companies, power providers, mining and transport
companies, and all businesses that create external risks.

Of course some will argue that would create negative safety incentives,
which is a fair argument, but the idea does not preclude criminal
liability too.

My sister is a RN training to be a NP. Caring for others has always been in her blood. But I can tell she's not happy over the last few years (even prior to covid).

This survey has such a low number of responses to make any meaningful conclusion from. 200 people surveyed. Non surprising stats like 71% of respondents having 15+ years of experience wanting to quit.

What really should be the lesson here is that capitalism does what capitalism does best:

It cuts costs.

- More patients to nurse ratio (Simply unsafe given most medical professionals already lack sleep)

- Little to no compensation relief on the way. (Huge boom of travel nursing during pandemic)

- Excess job responsibilities (More paperwork/aid duties, less actual nursing)

- New talent / old talent challenges (Larger incentive to switch jobs, hard to properly train)

We better figure out something soon. The medical field feels like it's holding on by a thread. Insurance companies run rampant with no end in sight. Health care continues to increase in costs and fail patients to the point of walking out or even dying to get care.

While I think generally speaking, nurses like my sister just want to feel appreciated like other jobs people are burning out in. You can do that in many different ways:

- Don't overwork them.

- Don't underpay them.

- Don't give them unwanted responsibilities.

- Most importantly, listen to them.

I think you may find that people actually do love the profession as it's one of the most noble professions out there, just that they are being forced out of doing something they love because of greed. Greed is not good.

Opposite anecdote: For done reason about 10 years ago my asthma that had just been a minor nuisance and didn’t stop me from running, teaching fitness classes part time, etc. for a decade, sent me to the hospital and kept me coughing for nearly a year.

The doctors and specialists gave me every treatment under the son to no avail.

Then I did my own research and read I should try OTC psuedophredrine. It worked like a charm. Now every time I catch a cold (and when I got Covid), I pop psuedophredrine for a few days and I am good.

Yes, psuedophredrine is suggested to treat Covid if you have virus induced asthma.

Second anecdote: I have relatively mild cerebral palsy. As I’ve gotten older, my affected foot tightens up especially in the winter. My neurologist said it was physical and not neurological. I went on vacation and was drinking more alcohol than I usual do. I noticed I was walking without pain. I did my research when I got home and found a prescription muscle relaxant with the fewest side effects and ask my doctor about it. He prescribed it to me.

He didn’t bother telling me that I should get blood work done to check for liver problems. I had to bring it up to him.

I can now walk without pain and run when properly conditioned.

So, the grandparent post is hopefully not betraying my actual thoughts on the matter too much, but I am indeed in the anti-IQ crowd. My thoughts on the matter:

- IQ scores are not a standard measure. There are several different internationally recognized IQ tests, but people who talk about their IQ scores tend to pick the one they do best on and declare that "their IQ."

- IQ scores measure performance on standardized tests. However, they are frequently misinterpreted as a measure of intelligence in general.

- As a result, certain people are motivated to practice for an IQ test, which seems counterproductive.

- Depending on the particular IQ test in question, one's performance on an IQ test stems from their present state of mind, and this is unavoidable. IQ tests, by design, are not concerned with this detail (although, historically, they did account for some crude concept of "metal age" compared to physical age. Which is itself problematic: what is this supposed to measure, again?).

- It is worth noting that IQ scores were originally propped up by the eugenics movement. For example, the most widely used test in the United States was based on the work of Lewis Terman, who at some point wrote "high-grade or border-line deficiency... is very, very common among Spanish-Indian and Mexican families of the Southwest and also among negroes. Their dullness seems to be racial, or at least inherent in the family stocks from which they come." Based on that information, there is a likely answer for the question I asked a moment ago.

- Obvious conjecture, but, IQ scores are not really useful in today's society? I have a few years still to go, but so far in my life, I have not once seen an IQ score trumpeted somewhere and thought "that is a useful measure for the discussion at hand." Not in a resume. Not in a debate. Not in a biography. Not in an advertisement. Not in a legal defence.

- So what motivation could we have? People in general gravitate toward answers that make it easier to distinguish the Self from the Other. For example, it took millennia for us to collectively agree the Earth orbits around the Sun. And long before IQ was an idea, René Descartes was a pioneer in trying to explain consciousness through science. To make this work, he was desperate to prove that humans are unique in having free will and intelligence. That animals are machines, over which we have free reign; that humans are special. Because we must be special. So, one of his ideas was that humans have an animal spirit, but we have the ability to control it. That we must control it. But, it is important to note, not all humans do.

- Tests, in general, are a problematic measure of intelligence. A better measure of intelligence will always be performance in regular day to day activity, analyzed by someone with no bias and an understanding of the context. Obviously this can't be standardized, which is unfortunate, but it does not follow that the next-best thing is actually a meaningful measure. Sometimes we humans must simply accept our limitations.
