Well I was replying specifically to someone talking about the dongle being lower quality so yeah...

As for Bluetooth, especially when talking about the AirPods, it works just fine for vast majority of use cases normal people have.
How Americans distinguish races is a little bit odd to me. I was born in Brazil, but I am dual citizen of Brazil and Italy (some distant relatives come from there). Besides, my grandmother (my mom's mother) is German, daughter of a Serbian man and a German woman. On my father's side, I have black ancestors, albeit I am caucasian (dark hair, light skin). What am I then, an aberration? I prefer much more how races are distinguished in Brazil. It is purely you skin color, so if you have light skin you are white (asian people included), if you have dark skin you are black and that is pretty much it. Your heritage doesn't matter that much to distinguish your race. I believe this stems from Brazil having laws forbidding segregation in the 1930s, albeit for racists reasons, given that the goal was to mix black people with white people so the country would be whitened.

Old Hollywood movies: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent

That said, people today often use "mid Atlantic accent" to mean the standard "region-less" accent used by, for example, TV announcers. It is more and more the standard accent of America's educated elite in urban centers, regardless of location.
Agreed. And we used to build those in-between places in the US; most of the remaining walkable small towns in the US were built a long time ago. (I’m about to move to one because yeah that’s what I’m looking for; glad I live on the east coast where there are still a few options.) But we’ve largely outlawed building any new ones.
> Won't be long until it's mandated you drive with one or else you're stuck with an "unsafe driver" charge on your insurance.

That's already happening, too. "Root" is a car insurance company that only serves "good drivers". Guess how they evaluate your "goodness"?

Probably nothing; Apple talks a good privacy talk and I always recommend Apple products to my non-nerd friends and family because of it.

HOWEVER, I can't really get past the fact that it's closed source. At the end of the day, that means that Apple can say they do XYZ practice, and it's very likely to be true (some is testable, and imagine the shit-storm if a whistle blower showed that they really do store your keys, etc), but what if it does something else sketchy "instead" of the things they promise they aren't doing?

Pretty much, if I care about privacy, closed source anything never makes it on my list.
The problem is the vast middle ground between those two extremes that just doesn't exist in America. In Europe they seem to be more commonly called some variation of "villages". Single family homes with small lots, with larger community greenspace, and a small central hub with some shopping for necessities and a reliable connection to a larger public transit system.

Meanwhile, the American suburb seems to have been modeled after manor estates but shrunk down to a level where it doesn't make sense. Each property has more personal land, but not enough to be "self-sufficient". That slight lowering of density prevents easy walkable access to any sort of central community hub, which makes it financially unviable to have a small community shopping district. That makes a shared public transit access point difficult to implement, since there's no community hub. Everything else spirals from there, making cars (and particularly bigger cars - remember, you need to keep the "estate" supplied with the necessities from a store located a 20-30 minute drive away) the only way for a family to function.

I don't want to live in Hong Kong density, but I absolutely don't want to live in the typical American suburbia.
It's the accent you hear on TV when you think the speaker has no accent.

Under Armor bought it for half a billion dollars from its original creators in 2015. They weren't on target to make back the investment and this sale to VC is an attempt to extract whatever remaining value they can out of it.

Blog post says "Salesforce has never been more focused on Heroku's future." but this looks like they are just keeping the lights on by deprecating and keeping security up to date. Which isn't bad if the product has reached maturity but I wonder if these really are the most important features users ask for.

Why does the feedback link on the blog post go to a personal LinkedIn page? What is wrong with these companies?
Less density doesn't imply less housing, especially when empty land is cheap, as it typically is in the USA. You just use more space.

I hate cars, and I hate how expensive housing is, but as far as I can tell, housing is even more expensive in places (in the USA anyway) where cars are less necessary.
> A college charging more money isn't 'dark'--they too have bills.

Which they are currently able to pay. Governments subsidizing student loans doesn't increase the bills for the college.

Of course there should be a cost/benefit analysis. There should be a cost/benefit analysis for any decision. That doesn't mean it's right for the costs to be artificially inflated beyond what's necessary.
I agree. The fourth F is 'Figure out a workaround'. Wrappers, control processes, plugins. When Terraform decides it's going to be user-antagonistic and not fix problems that literally everyone complains about, we have to create entire projects to work around it, like Terragrunt and Terraformer.
I had the same reaction to the main thesis of this article. This is like people taking roadtrip across the United States who are only willing to go 1/4 mile off the federal highway. They then decry the state of cuisine because the only restaurants left in America are the same 5 fast food joints.

Getting outside one's comfort zone and putting in the time to find something good/interesting/new is highly underrated. But it is work. And many a corporate empire has been built by making a mediocre or sufficient experience the most convenient thing.
I think the biggest tragedy is the disappointing quality of AI generated media. I can't believe no one is saying this, but right now AI sucks! Its "art" is mediocre nonsense and unusable for any commercial or even aesthetic consumption. Even the images used in the article (presented as "mind-blowing") are laughably bad.

The conjecture that AI "aesthetics" may become a norm and may be accepted as a standard of creativity is truly lamentable.

>I've seen so much anti-car, pro-walkability, pro-transit, pro-bikeability sentiment online recently.

The usual political activist group has switched to this. The laptop class wants to ban cars. We could discuss if that's a good idea or not.

Societal cost of transportation is insane. Imagine where you have a society number of amortized cars sitting in drive ways doing nothing. What a huge waste of society's wealth.

What would be the cost difference if we simply had driverless vehicles that could pick you up, do whatever you need to do, and then move onto the next person. Sure there would be peak times and all this but for the most part you far better utilize transportation.

The cost is immense. Car ownership is stupid. If only we had a legitimate driverless option. Free market would shift because of this alone.

>I really hope this is proof of the younger generations -- Millenials, Zoomers, and younger folks even -- waking up to the idea that the USA in particular has become a toxic environment thanks to cars.

No certainly not. The only proof is the political activists have shifted their intentions. perhaps we find out later?

>I hate cars. I don't want to use them on a daily basis. I'm cheap, and I don't want to own one, or maintain one. I try to do everything I can by biking or walking, or transit if those aren't feasible. It is nearly impossible in 95% of the USA.

Ive been considering this.

Solar powered pedal assisted ebike that's enclosed so even in the winter you could zip around and get where you need to go. It's an ebike so hills arent a problem. In the summer you could take windows and doors off.

If there's situations where there's too much snow? Ok I'll just not go, staying home. It's enclosed for rain. I dont need AC or heat.

But $10,000 for something that'll get stolen?

Looking at building my own from scratch as a winter project this year. I am estimating I could build something equivalent for probably $2000.
They are smart enough to learn. Inevitably they'll learn something pointless! Seems so human.
I would if I had one. I'm windows-only currently. I guess I could spin up a VM but then I have networking issues...

Then perhaps you've hit upon the root of the problem: education shouldn't be run like a business.
I don't think car haters deny that cars can be useful, particularly in the environment we've constructed here in the USA. Hell, I own (half of) a car, because I want to visit family and friends who live a couple of hours away, and there's no train or even bus that could bring me to them.

> The suburbs were built for people driving cars. Not just cars. People getting rides in cars, avoiding weather, sitting comfortably, transporting the handicapped and the infirm and the older folks.

No, they were built for cars. Giant 4-lane 45 MPH stroads with no sidewalks that "connect" neighborhoods for cars, but isolate anyone without a car... those are built for cars. Driveways are built for people to get to cars, and some cul-de-sacs are built for children to play (but not teenagers to do anything interesting outside the yard -- they might get in trouble).

A lot of us just want SOMEPLACE in the USA where we can live without a car. NYC is the only place I can think of that accomplishes that, but with median rent hitting 3-4k/mo, that's out of reach for all but the highest earners. There are some cities and towns where you can occasionally do things outside of a car if you're willing to pay a premium and deal with poor infrastructure, but it all feels very fringe -- as if you're doing something you shouldn't.

Remember that wanting places without cars does not mean we want to ban cars, or stop people from using them in rural areas, or blow up the suburbs, or anything that wild. We just want to de-emphasize cars in dense environments so we can walk around!
Bloomberg?

You mean "The Big Hack" Bloomberg?

You mean the outlet that announced bombastically that Apple devices had spy chips in them? And then when basically everyone involved said "no that's bullshit", and Apple devices were disassembled and very experienced people looked exactly where Bloomberg said the chips were, and there were no chips, Bloomberg said nothing? And has still posted no retraction, no updates, and no apologies for this blatant pack of lies?
> 1) Is it a real problem that allows anyone to push into any repository?

It is not a real problem that allows anyone to push into any repo, but is a real problem that shows a incorrect/unexpected "Merged" pull request status on any repository.

> 2) Is it just a very confusing message?

From the links in paste in the comments you could see that github shows the unauthorized user "merged" the pull request into main, and, the repo's owner received a email says:

It is exactly the SAME as email notification of a normal authorized merge event.
>Selfishly, I really want the USA to bring city centers back to livable levels by banning most cars and redesigning them for humans.

I bet if this happened you'd be living in a downtown that's physically walkable, but there's no business left to walk to.
Generally any everyday local news host has a variation of this kind of accent. There are different regional accents around the country, but generally news show hosts tend to have a plain sounding generic American sound that may not match up with the local drawl. For example, Alabama/Georgia populations have a particular southern accent but news out of Mobile and Atlanta doesn't sound local. Similar for Boston or NYC, etc.
The company lists its reason for being on their website (https://www.sanas.ai/about):

> Say 'Hi' to Raul

> A friend and fellow Stanford engineering student, we started Sanas for him.
>
> During school, he was forced to take a leave of absence and return home to Nicaragua. He started looking for jobs with high English proficiency. But, as he hadn't matriculated yet, he only had his high school diploma. With those credentials, the highest paying job he could find was in a call center.
>
> Working there he was faced with daily bias associated with his accent. He was verbally abused and discriminated against over the phone. And found himself underperforming at a job for which he was vastly overqualified. Unsurprisingly, he decided to leave the job after a few months.

> Knowing he wasn't alone, we started Sanas to ensure people around the world could take back the power of their own voice.

I don't know if this is real or just something they made up but I get where they're coming from. Call centres have to deal with tons of abuse and accents are easy pickings for the racists and other horrible people.

This solution doesn't try to do anything racist; it's a simple, practical solution to avoid a very specific type of hate and toxicity some people encounter during their day job. It's not saying "start speaking anglo-saxon, white, protestant, male English", it's "let's try not to give racists any fuel".

Honestly, I think the solution doesn't solve anything. The end result sounds computerized and fake. Even if it didn't, it's just a step back. People who abuse call centre workers shouldn't be treated with satin gloves to avoid triggering their sensibilities, they should be dealt with professionally. With products like these, companies can avoid having to fire customers or employees by preventing incidents.
In something as super specialised as compiler engineering there's no such thing a over-qualified.
Depends on the questions, doesn't it? Asking employees for feedback on how the business is running and how it might be improved seems reasonable to me. Possibly even encouraging.

Don't answer questions you don't feel comfortable answering, for whatever reason. If that's a problem for the CEO then it's their problem; your integrity is worth more than your job, right?
The end result of all this fakery is a growing doubt and distrust of the world and the information presented to us. Bots on twitter, corporate reddit moderators pruning discourse, astroturfed discussions, deepfakes, AI generated news articles, AI art, it all waters down the assumption that what we see before us is real. Leading us to doubt everything we read, see and hear. Much of this bot driven noise online is only possible in large, public online communities.

I think we will see a shift towards much smaller walled gardens of community online. It's already happening with the mass exodus to discord and smaller chatrooms. I think we can all safely assume that our 30 discord friends are real people... for now.

The country club exists for the wealthy to enjoy the pleasantries of community and pastime without interruption by the masses. I think the internet will move to mirror the real world as we segregate apart into the places we most enjoy... or have the connections and money to afford. Authentic and vibrant human communities with novel content curation will be a luxury, while the "public pool" for the masses will be an internet of data pollution and grime.
Europe in it's infinite wisdom decided to self immolate in two world wars.

High density is for young people. I've lived in ultra high density for decades and it's starting to really hurt. I sleep poorly due to noise (mostly from neighbors) and it's not fun to go for a walk anymore. I'm looking for a rural place to purchase a home because sorry, I just don't want to tolerate people's selfishness anymore. Density should come with more rules, both laws that are enforced as well as cultural rules, and in American cities it seems chaos and lawlessness are embraced as tolerance and compassion.

I've lived in a city for a while. I'm through. People are rude, loud and even dangerous: putting aside criminality which is being essentially decriminalized (we've removed bail for all but attempted murder in my city, and prosecutors are progressive and are systematically reducing charges on violent crimes so they are misdemeanors, because they're trying to reduce incarceration), cars and e bikes have become dangerous to pedestrians. You're literally never relaxed walking outside on a sidewalk now.

Is that the vision?
Seconding MacroFactor
Fine, consider the entire "cost" of manufacturing, shipping, etc. I'd wager my 1 pair of AirPods is hilariously tiny verses what some companies do in a hour if not a few minutes. Framing this as an environmental issue is just ridiculous. It's the same BS behind oil companies trying to convince people that not recycling is the big issue, not them.
Thanks. Tried some searches, good stuff. Recipes are a well known disaster area these days, it's nice to be able to find just an explanation and instructions, with nothing else.
Aim to get your products into the hands of actual users as soon as possible, even in a half baked state. Their feedback / feature requests / bug reports will motivate you to keep pushing the project forward.

In general, if you create something, you need an audience to stay motivated.
Precisely, that's why we need a bit of help from philosophers and people that has deep historical knowledge of Art.

From my naivety, if art started as a form of human expression, purely synthetically produced expressions are the antithesis of art. We can discuss what that is instead.
Are you referring to Yelp or the crisis center?
Would be great if they define inactive - I have a production site that's been running unchanged for probably 6-8 years that I throw on my portfolio but haven't really done any work on. Not even sure anymore how I'd set up my dev env. Won't be the biggest loss if it gets deleted but wouldn't like it. Other than seeing my credit card get billed, I'm about as inactive as it gets. I don't know if some of my resources are paid but others are free? (saw someone else talking about free instances of postgres in the comments here), I literally don't remember how the whole 'dyno' systems and add-on systems work anymore, just know that I'm paying for the webserver node or whatever. So won't be surprised if the DB or caching or something just shuts off.
The Effects of Nuclear Weapons
You can compare cost of living on numbeo. We are talking about tech workers here. Most of the tech employers offer quite generous benefit in USA including healthcare, generous parental leaves and vacations. Also 401K is so common among tech workers in US. Those kind of retirement scheme aren't very common in Europe. You are almost always dependent on the public pension which is generally quite low.

Almost everyone I have heard from who moved to US confirmed their bank balance got fatter. This is also true about people moving to Switzerland. Even with high costs in Switzerland, you make extra money and pay less taxes.
Do you mind if I ask you how you know this stuff and where I can get started? I really do want to know more about the chemicals in colours and why, with the history in there too.

We get told what the colour wheel is and never what is in the paints when we are at school. I think we would value the materials more if we had any idea of how we got here.
Our team does do cutting-edge work with Kubernetes, and we run into this situation quite literally all the time. How do we handle it? We're being supported by a multi-billion dollar business and we have the resources and talent to a) code around the deficiency, b) pivot to find something new, c) get in touch with our contacts at Google, actually use those enterprise support contracts we pay $$$$$ for, or d) make our own stop-gap solution. Every single one of these we've employed at various steps in the last few years.

Where you're mistaken is in not understanding the difference between FOSS and Enterprise OSS. You're describing a collaboration environment that can and should be present in FOSS. (but sadly often isn't) With OSS... you better have your checkbook ready. It very much IS a "fuck you, pay me" environment, and if you don't have the cash, you really shouldn't be messing around with Enterprise OSS. Use, and support, Free, by that I mean copylefted, Software. Build on Proxmox, not on K8s.

FOSS is a software commons, Enterprise OSS is a giant collection of walled gardens. You have to pay me to maintain Enterprise OSS. I'd maintain FOSS for free. You can't apply the dynamics that underpin FOSS to Enterprise OSS. Enterprise OSS is not written for you. You're not its target market. Enterprises want as much as possible to offload the massive costs, so they fund software foundations like the CNCF and the Apache project to do the core dev work so that teams like mine can have a stable base to build on and relative career stability.
