Some of the comments you posted on this thread are completely false, like EU forcing Apple to change bubble color or forcing them to handover encryption keys. Neither of that is even remotely true. If Apple doesn't want other companies to have encryption keys they can (and should) provide an E2E API. They can document their own protocol, or implement an existing open one, like Signal's.
I'm personally sick of making logins to things and the hurdles you have to go through to join some Forums. Verify this, verify that, read a rules post, yadda yadda, can't share images because your friend needs an account too.

It's a time investment. There was a point once where I must've had 20-30+ accounts to different forums and I'm reminded of them each birthday.

Then the general lack of instantaneous responses like I almost always get on reddit, etc.

I only use one nowadays, and it's an automobile forum I couldn't get anywhere else.

The overall vibe I got from reading that post and a few more by Nate is "I found success, you can to, give me money to find out how."

There are also quite a few posts arguing against typical financial wisdom. Things like "yea, I could have made some decent returns investing my money, but it permitted me to become who I am" and "you don't need a budget", which all just starts linking back to referral links and other things that make Nate money.

The page about not needing a budget and that it eats into your productive time is extremely BS. Dude knows this, but it is something that will prey on financially illiterate people who are looking an excuse 'oh, this rich dude Nate said I didn't need a budget'. It also sucks because he then talks about automating credit card payments, if you don't have a budget and don't track your spending that is a HUGE recipe for disaster.

Even some of this writings about wealth vs money, while thoughtful in how they convey the concepts, fail to account for other concerns. Pointing out that a job only pays you while you work, but something like real estate rental may generate wealth, ignores just how much more complication there is in the later.

Which is my final complaint. I am not seeing the nitty gritty truth of just how much work is being put in in any of his writings. He touches on things briefly, but he doesn't really convey that there is a huge startup burden that is incredibly risky everytime you start something like building wealth.

Nowadays you can delete (really, hide), the U2 album. If you delete all remaining music in iTunes, then the U2 album gets restored, and you have to re-delete it.

Other problems:

- the darned thing is eager to connect

My wife gets in the car to go somewhere,
turns it on, my phone connects, and I lose
audio / she steals my audio.

- the darned thing connects even if the car's
audio is off

get in, use a maps app, can't hear anything,
ohhh, right!

- carplay uses wifi, iphone fails to route
properly

can't use carplay

- anyways, carplay is super sensitive to EM
noise

be me, be driving w/ navigation on, go through
high-traffic, EM noisy area, lose navigation
-- distracting! dangerous!

Solution:

- refuse to connect to the car's wifi

- that means no carplay

- that means no distractions

- delete the U2 album

- delete it harder

- turn off bluetooth every morning

- that means no more stolen audio when
someone drives the family cars

In theory, decentralized government delegating various decisions closer to the people allows for more oversight and flexibility. In practice, in most places the oversight doesn't happen and just results in local politicians doing what they want, and simply enforcing a one-size-fits-all rule of law would be an improvement.

A critically flawed vote tallying mechanism entrenching a catastrophically polarized two party machine.

A rise of fascism and a rural urban divide. A lack of trust in fundamental roles of government. A federal judiciary that abdicated their role to check legislatures against undemocratic structure. A potential ruling in Moore v. Harper that would allow state legislatures to literally, blatantly and without any check on power dispose of a representative government.

I don't want a civil war, I want radical reforms at every level of government which put faith back into the function of government and the will of the people. I'm ready for cities in fascist states like my home state of Texas to blatantly disregard immoral state regulations and become city-states. And in the face of right wing extremist protests and feckless law enforcement, I think the left wing should arm themselves.
If that's such an important issue for you, why don't you just switch to a bank with an app with good UX? There are so many banks out there, one will surely either support Apple Pay or have a decent app.

Apple Pay will not just die, Android has no restrictions on NFC and Google Pay is still supported by banks.

What you do is fear mongering that's not based on reality. Android shows that it works and Apple just wants their cut, as always.
There is evidence of Russian interference, just read the mueller report. The hunter Biden stuff is disinformation in that it was being used to imply joe had something to do with hunters actions. The lab leak stuff still has minimal evidence. I agree this stuff shouldn’t be censored, but it’s not like it’s some smoking gun that we’re being lied to. Calling out politically charged distractions for what they are seems good to me.

There are plenty of racist trump quotes. No one is saying he called all the pro statue people at Charlottesville racist, but he did wait multiple days to call the racist ones out after he gave a speech about it. He repeatedly suggested moral equivalence between the two protesting sides. I haven’t heard about the Japan thing so I won’t comment on it.

I’ll even agree that the media has utterly failed us. There’s a lot to unpack there and I’d say a lot of the blame is on the populace and the government though. But defending trump like this just makes you sound unhinged tbh.
In my experience it doesn’t require that much cherry picking if you use a carefully crafted prompt. For example: “ A professional photography of a software developer talking to a plastic duck on his desk, bright smooth lighting, f2.2, bokeh, Leica, corporate stock picture, highly detailed”

> I just don't see a similar situation right now

The flight of capital to the most productive and/or cosmopolitan locations (domestically and globally) and the increase in immigrant representation in positions of influence threatens the cultural centrality of the part of society that has traditionally occupied it, and they would like to have that status restored any way possible.

Does that outweigh the tremendous destruction (and loss to everyone) that would ensue? Perhaps not. Depends what enough people think they have to lose.
Like what? And was it really that different in the past? Often it feels like people don’t have a good historic perspective and think the past didn’t have its difficulties. In reality, there’s probably no year in the past where most of us would have been better off than today.

Doesn’t mean that today is perfect, lots of problems to address: housing, income, healthcare, global warming, destruction of the ecosystem, list goes on…
Judging by the Russian and French revolutions, civil war isn't happening unless and until a lot of people are having trouble accessing food. IMHO the factors that sparked the US Civil War (extreme state independence, regional economics) are no longer relevant.
Nice, thanks! I'm going to try that. I feel like I tried once and it used to be undeletable; probably long time ago.

i’m a Democrat and my confidence in the media is trashed. Everywhere I’m hearing the same, even Redditors who are ultra-liberal will rant about the news. Its not a partisan thing.

CNN, Washington Post, NY Times, “Vice”, MSNBC. Fox News, Sky News, Newmax as well. I’m pretty sure these sites sometimes flat-out get paid to write promotional and attack articles. I’m absolutely sure most of the articles are clickbaity content, with misleading headlines, exaggerated suggestions, and polarized opinions in “factual” content.

I have a theory that the Democratic news literally caused Trump to be elected (albeit unintentionally) when they wouldn’t stop talking about him. They along with the Republican news definitely caused both sides to be much more partisan and angry. All that anger you hear about online and recently have started seeing in person? I really believe it just wouldn’t be there if not for the news. And not “reporting the factual state of the US” news, the exaggeration and polarization and doom-saying in the news articles. They are fulfilling their own wild prophecies.

“But not all the news!” Yeah, not all the news. Although some sites which used to be decent and rational (e.g. NY Times) have become clickbaity and opinionated, I still have many sources I can rely on which still post level-headed, objective content. NPR is a must, but I’m pretty sure The Associated Press, Reuters, and The Economist are also still ok.

Furthermore, even with the exaggeration and opinions, most news sites like CNN and NY Times still report accurate facts, you just have to pick them out and discard the opinions and implied stuff and misdirections. Idk how the Republican side is doing but I kind of doubt Fox News is at the point where they’re flat-out lying yet either, they just heavily suggest stuff which are “out there” takes or get disproven later.

But when I say “yeah, some news sources are ok, and most news sources have the right facts, although…” That means my confidence in the media is low. That’s what this poll is asking, right? “What is your confidence in the media?” My confidence in the media is low. Because when I think of “the media”, I think of CNN and NY Times and all those opinionated sites, and while I expect they will never truly misreport facts, I can’t really trust them because the facts are hidden in misleading statements and opinions.
That isn't major depressive disorder either. Even if those people think their life sucks, they're capable of, say, getting out of bed every day and don't regularly attempt suicide.

Russian serfs might've revolted when they got the chance, but they were more or less psychologically normal until then. Their society adapts to not kill them all. (Or they all become alcoholics or something.)

While the USA was once a true federation of sovereign states that really hasn't been the case since at least the Civil War, over 150 years ago. States depend heavily on the federal government for assistance, standardization, and regulation, and even depend on their neighbors for logistical support in various industries as well as energy and water.

For all its touted net-contribution to the federal budget California would not survive on its own, as it depends on electricity from other states and water from the Colorado River (a shared resource between several states). To be sure, California puts these shared resources to extremely productive use and pays back the value to its neighbors, but this kind of interdependence probably would not exist if California went rebel.
> The current software engineering paradigm has no meaningful answer to this, no matter what "security experts" tell you. In a sane industry this realization would lead to a change of the paradigm, but people in our industry seem to be only doubling down.

On the contrary, I believe we do. The answer is ongoing maintenance.

The basic problem is that people persist in looking at software as a fundamentally mechanistic artifact you finish and ship in a static environment. Then you move on to the next thing. This is fundamentally incorrect. Software engineering is a process that takes place in an adversarial, human-driven environment. There is fundamentally no automating this away because human decision-making work is required.

Any security expert worth their salt will tell you this. As long as you persist in trying to view software as a fixed artifact in a static environment, you will find there is no meaningful answer. Those who come to terms with the dynamic, human-driven reality will find that there's a well-understood - if inconvenient and expensive - answer.
Boulder Colorado comes to mind with this idea. Live in the city for a certain amount of time and be over a certain age and your taxes are cut in half. Much better than paying the tax and the government giving it back.

I lived in Nashua. There is zero new construction going on, lotes are very big so there is a lot of wasted space. The result is that housing is too expensive.
Prop. 13 means that a commercial renter can rent out the land to one tenant after another virtually forever without the taxes going up very much at all (way below inflation). At some point it gets to a point where it is never economically advantageous for either renter or landlord to ever have the landlord sell... the situation is only disadvantageous for the city/community (which is getting far less in taxes than other places).

Remember that companies never die of old age.

I hate to "be that guy" but this ends up being a both sides issue. There was a notice sent around to some churches after the RvW appeal to be vigilant since they had received some info on people possibly acting violently towards churches since they blamed them for it. (Edit to add: Please see https://janesrevenge.noblogs.org/2022/06/26/janes-revenge-ni... -- these are pointedly anti-fascists, the opposite of the right. So this is a both sides issue.)

Americans just don't seem to want to get along and understand on any side of the aisle. I can't talk politics to my family since they're all charged on their views and if I differ we just argue.
The fee is always paid. No Fee = paid by landlord. Usually those no fees are non desirable units (lack of light, etc). In my case tenants pay a transaction fee (3%), lower compared to 15% that brokers charge. I just provide financial validation, a non bias system (software is unbiased, brokers are biased), a digital contract and I provide the lead to the landlord
My understanding is that the Democrats want to leverage a strong federal government to various aims (welfare, social security, medicare, medicaid, regulation, etc) while the Republicans want a smaller federal government and give the power to the states. This divide is about power of the federal government vs power of the states, or the Jeffersonian / Hamiltonian divide.

You've shown examples of where the Democrats want more direct democracy, so there's that too. I don't know if this is a recent phenomenon or not. I've never known the Ds to make much about it either way until you mentioned it.
I think a lot of the commenters on this thread who are skeptical or dismissive don't really understand what a 'civil war' actually is or would be in a country the size of the United States. I believe this stems from the assumption of an improbable repeat of the American Civil War of the 1860s, which I agree with.

But a 'civil war' doesn't necessarily happen all at once, with a frontline, with conscription, etc.. It can happen slower, in separate places, with small skirmishes or only with 'occupying' a state legislature. It can also be fought with different weapons, for example electronic warfare and disinformation. With the latter in mind, some think it already started. You don't need North vs South or Left vs Right for a civil war. You need a group of 'rebels' vs the government and to some extent we kinda have this, considering that some of the 'rebels' are already part of the government and actively trying to topple it.

If you look at things from a different angle, for example the rise in extremist violence, the well organized (and well armed) far right groups, the various instances of local government refusing to enforce federal regulations, the repeated increasing 'states rights' arguments thrown around during high level political discussion (by elected officials) and elephant-in-the-room sized January 6 and the widespread loss of trust in government due to disenfranchisement, the infiltration of the far right fringes in law enforcement/military and even elected officials, the repeated secession bills proposed by idiots in eastern WA or Texas just for the purpose of getting people riled up, increasing income inequality, it's easy to see how things are going in the absolute wrong direction. Couple all of that with loss of income and you're gonna have a really bad time keeping the plebs in check. It's all 'Bread and circuses' until the bread supply chain is disrupted or the money to buy it becomes worthless.

But I'm optimistic because the people who actually run the country still want to make money and making money during something like a civil war is way harder. So something large scale will definitely not happen. I think we'll have a better chance to die in the 'water war' or just a heatwave than in any 'civil war' on US soil.
Making maps without an external service on macOS is an exercise in dependency hell.

About once a month, I have to run a script I wrote that generates a list of lat/lon values from company data to generate maps in python. I have to keep a separate machine on an old version of macOS just for this task because python3 broke everything.

ALL of the tutorials online are out of date, broken, or simply don't work. I even contacted the people at Geofabrik and offered to pay them for a solution, but they wouldn't touch the problem with a ten meter cattle prod.

I guess I'll spin up an Ubuntu VM and see if this solution works for me. But the state of mapping is abysmal. Everything is an online service or a GUI. And none of the online services can do batch processing.
