Apple has been building their brand on privacy and trust for at least a couple of years now. Can you be sure they're not sending everything to the NSA? Of course not. But they also make their money by directly charging users for services unlike the ad-based companies. There have also been many attempts by various governments to publicly force Apple to insert backdoors or prevent them from fixing security vulnerabilities which have failed.

even assuming they were cut off the moment the invasions began, are pipelines really that fragile that they explode if they're not maintained for 6 months?
Keywords are useful though because there are so many ways to say the same thing and half the time nobody cares about that keyword anyway. I've seen more than one place demand keywords they clearly don't use on the job - if I can talk about php even a little I can claim it even though it has been 15 years since I last saw php...
I've had this occur in a number of ways, typically with candidates who are not US Based. One candidate was clearly the "face" of a group of more skilled programmers. Several others were not the person who was listed in a resume.

Its deliberate. Things are deliberately made hard to repair so you are forced to buy a new one when it breaks.
This is a very misguided comment. Bribery is a net economic loss — the company has to pay the bribe, and there is a long-term loss as the money gets spent on yachts instead of projects that spur further economic growth.

Companies and their shareholders never wanted to pay out these bribes, and want these laws, because there is little competitive advantage to be gained by being better at bribing. Over time the laws have been extending to most developed countries, including the whole OECD.

Sure, there are still exceptions, and if you’re a corrupt official, you can still select a Chinese engineering firm and pocket bribes. But it’s those excluded countries that are playing the losing game in the long term, ruining their international reputation and funding unproductive infrastructure projects with debt their own banks will be saddled with.
Similar to shooting down your own satellites.
Without being particularly familiar with it, I wonder how BDDs differ from the generalization to multivalued decision diagrams (MDDs)? For example, in constraint satisfaction problems, variables often have more than two values. However, in the context of decision diagrams, you rarely hear about MDDs. Are there theoretical advantages of the binary restriction?
Then you have to admit the alternate explanation that people do not identify as having PTSD when they do, either because they don't know the signs or because it would be useless or embarrassing to do so.

If you're saying one can actually find things relevant to my blog posts by doing that, I'd love to hear more. Because it doesn't seem plausible to me.

Using AI images isn't really as easy as one may think. It takes a couple minutes to generate a large image, and sometimes the AI messes up. A couple iterations later, you've already used 20 minutes. If I could generate better images with a camera pointing at random things around me, please enlighten me on that.

Not to the same extent. Sure it can be Wednesday 28th in Paris while it’s still Tuesday 27th in London… but then it will be Wednesday 28th in London soon.

That’s really not the same thing as it being Wednesday 28th in Paris while it’s Wednesday 17th in London. When the 28th rolls round in London, it won’t be a Wednesday…
Interesting.

As anecdata, my brother and I are the exact opposite. He was always the Golden Child, and I the scapegoat.

He turned out as - what I think normal people expect this child to turn out as - somewhat spoiled & entitled, and less ambitious. As a result, he ended up not being very successful.

I on the other hand, am doing much much better.

My brother is - without doubt - substantially smarter than me. But this dynamic did not appear to work in his favor.

I imagine this dynamic is mostly random noise.

I just wanted to give a piece of anecdata to support it's probably random noise.

>If I find an item I want in a big-box store like that locked up, I walk away and order it on Amazon. I don't have time to wander all over the store looking for an employee with a key to come get me the item I want.

This doesn't compute to me. You've gone to the effort, and taken time out of your day, to physically go to a Home Depot and find the product you're looking for. That's time spent doing all that, maybe at least 20 minutes or so, but you'll throw away all of that effort and time because you "don't have the time" to spend just an extra minute or two finding the employee to unlock it? What you want could be two feet in front of your face, but you'll basically kick rocks and say, "Fuck this, I'm going home"?

And then, because you "don't have time", you'll wait an additional 24-48 hours?
Do you have legal right to claim their compensation?
What I can't piece together here is what the scammer's endgame is. They land a cushy developer job under some false identity and ... then what? They're not going to pay some random college student to attend every meeting, are they? Even if they were, are they going to be able to maintain the level of work they lied about? If they really had those skills, they would just interview on their own.

Contract-to-hire positions only appeal to the most desperate, least qualified candidates. Those who are already employed elsewhere or have other offers aren't likely to accept an offer that leaves them in a precarious state.

Prosecuting the PI for fraud might be possible. I'm not able to google for cases where that has been done, but I'll bet it's occurred before. I'm doubtful that the student could be prosecuted.

One basis for a fraud claim would be the statement that accompanies most grant applications, generally of the form, "X is the PI of the proposed work, and has the responsibility to ensure the quality of the investigation and scientific results..." -- and the PI signs their name, and takes the money. (And so does a university official.)

One example: https://research.wustl.edu/about/roles-responsibilities/prin...
> I hope Andrew [0] — the college junior with morals who blew the
whistle on the attempt to get him to impersonate the author — gets
an internship or job offer out of this; he apparently was having a
hard time with that.

Excellent point.

I've been wondering about ways to test students on "trust/morals" and
decided its one of the most valuable yet least well understood
qualities. Employers generally rank skills, knowledge, salary, even
age/gender/race above dependability/loyalty, or barely consider the
latter at all.

Other than lengthy vetting and imprecise security clearance procedures
this is such a hard quality to discern, and so costly when you miss
the mark. The costs of defection, industrial espionage, and sabotage
seem poorly quantified in HR. I think a corrosion of work relations
has come about from devaluation of workers qua humans, and the
corresponding disrespect people have towards their places of work. Is
that inevitable under capitalism/efficiency?

And, harder question... does it even matter? Especially once AIs and
remote agents take-over many jobs? Does a corporation care if the
worker is an imposter and liar who abused a false identity to get the
post, so long as they produce working results?

Is there a kind of moral Turing test here? What do work relations have
to do with human-relations in the limit of the present trajectory?
On this subject, I like to quote Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram:

"Since the creation of WhatsApp, there's hardly been a moment in which it was secure: every few months researchers uncover a new security issue in the app. I wrote about this in detail 2 years ago (read here if you missed it). Nothing has changed since then.

It would be hard to believe that the technical team of WhatsApp is so consistently incompetent. Telegram, a far more sophisticated app, has never had security issues of such severity."
Capitalism. Because:

- Economic insecurity makes future uncertain. This immediately introduces a level of anxiety to people. Not only in Silicon Valley - its everywhere. There is no social mechanism left to use as a safety net to protect people because everything is privatized now. Its pay or die.

- Needing to work for survival. Because you can't be sure of even the next year, with rising prices, expensive services weighing on the budget, it feels like you are always in a fight for your survival even if you are a 6 figure paid person. Survival of you and your dependents.

- These add up: The society is in the same state, everyone is in a survival mode and stressed, with anxiety. The atmosphere is the same everywhere and its inescapable. Which exacerbates your own anxiety and induces it even if you didn't have anxiety to start with.

- Things are going downhill. Profits and stock market are rising, but everything else is descending down into a hellhole. Societal collapse is visible. We humans are social creatures, we know that our survival is tied to the society because we evolved to be like that since it ensured our survival and success as a species. So when your society is going downhill, you get extra anxiety.

> I've heard enough instances of people paying others to take exams for them

Back in the 90s I was becoming a math teacher at one university while I was working on getting admitted into an IT engineer course at another. Strangely enough, the other admittance exam besides math was physics and I sucked at that while obviously I was far ahead in math compared to my peers at the physics preparation course. So someone offered an astonishing amount of money to take the math entrance exam for them, enough to buy a small apartment with it -- and perhaps I would've been young and foolish enough to go with it except for one fact: they offered a falsified national id to go with it. That's five years in prison if you get caught with it and I noped the hell out of it...

In the case OP describes, the situation is similar: it's the documentation that catches you.
But if you do that, won’t you just be another company MITMing the internet?

I had a similar experience back in 2008 when I started a fully remote digital agency.

One of my first employees was doing fantastic work, until his performance fell to 0 - no communication, no deliverables, nothing. Turns out, he stopped paying the subcontractor that was doing his job for him.

The subcontractor contacted me months after I fired the employee and confessed. Apparently, the long-pauses and loud typing during my conversations with the employee was the employee messaging the subcontractor asking for help answering my questions.

So, in my case, the employee was still the front. In this case, they're attempting to eliminate that bottleneck by just having the subcontractor impersonate the employee.

This may reflect the social nature of science and religion.

What it fails to reflect, however, is that religion is fundamentally rooted in revelation or inspiration (further conveyed, transmitted, and applied through authority), whilst science is based on observation and empirical evidence, and based on experimental validity rather than authority.

Neither is of course a pure instantiation of these general descriptions, and the structure of scientific institutions, education, and accreditation is of course strongly influenced by religion (with the University itself serving as a training vehicle for both).

Latin was adopted by the priesthood largely for historical reasons (the Roman Catholic Church originated in Latin-speaking Rome), and technical ones: books were ruinously expensive and it was far more practical to bring priests and scholars to the text, by teaching them to read and write Latin, than the text to the priests in the vernacular, at least until Gutenberg and Luther.

Maths is used in the sciences for the reason that it efficiently, accurately, and usefully communicates quantitative relationships and predictions.

Where Latin emerged externally and was adopted by the Church, much modern scientific maths was created in the service of science, with the highly notable case of Newton (and Leibnitz) inventing calculus in the service of physics coming to mind.

The parallels you note ... seem less useful and significant in this light.
Improvements are always nice but portability matters, so depending on new features isn't possible until it could safely be assumed to be ubiquitous (cough, not you Apple).

Then there's the part where building anything of any significant complexity is not probably a good idea in a shell script.

There's a difference between trusting remote employees and aspiring employees.

True that there's a large difference between information and knowledge but I think the intrinsic part of knowledge itself is the ability to recall information i.e. remembering.

I started using Anki (A spaced-repetition tool) to improve my long term memory by creating cards for everything I like to remember no matter how trivial it might be, Then the act of reviewing the Anki cards became a chore.

I'm currently trying to solve the problem of reviewing Anki cards by having an always-on review system[1] which lets me review cards when ever I want instead of a rigorous schedule.

One of the important definitions of Free (capital F) software is the freedom to modify it without restrictions.

If you're just talking about the freedom to run things unmodified, basically every software you can download online without paying is "free", and obviously AGPL fits that bill for the uncapitalized "free" software. But that's not what we're talking about here, right?

Pay out to whom? Surely the employment paperwork, the pay checks, the direct deposit forms would have to also be under the assumed name?
Apple doesn't get into low margin businesses. They get into an adjacent business. A prime example is TVs. There is no Apple TV set. There is AppleTV, a high margin add on for any TV with HDMI that makes it "just work".

They had the chance to buy a cellular carrier, but chose not to, because it's low margin. Instead they make a phone that works on any carrier.

Cars are a low margin business. But a car add-on could be a high margin business. They already have CarPlay, but I can see them making a hardware add-on for cars.

You mention Tesla as an alternative, but they're well-known for their fit and finish and repairability issues.[1][2]

Apple's software fit and finish has taken a dive. My Tesla isn't much better. (ex: I couldn't move my headrest for a month.) Poke around teslamotorsclub.com and you'll find all kinds of silly bugs that drag on.

Tesla builds 8 years of connectivity into the initial sticker cost, after that they will be charging.[3] Apple will probably charge too if it also includes network connectivity.

Apple is especially bad about lock-in. I understand Pandora, Spotify, and Waze are installable on CarPlay (I haven't tried them), but there's still plenty of walled garden stuff going on elsewhere.

I think "garbage" disposal is way too cheap: books, clothing and electronics are things that should be really expensive to throw away as most often they can be re-used, re-purposed or at least gutted. When disposing them as garbage is more expensive and less convenient than finding someone who wants to take the stuff, people will be motivated to at least donate them.

If you copy signs from a Greco-Roman period inscription, chances are good you'll copy a sign that's missing from some Greco-Roman sign lists. There are just so many more signs used in that period than the earlier periods—and the work of cataloging them is still ongoing.

Looking at various pictures, I see many mistakes and the signs are badly copied. Even assuming Egypt sent their worst scribes to Australia, why would they be copying fragments of standard funerary texts—for example—on random rock walls far away from anything resembling an Egyptian burial?

I'm like you. I fix my own things including vehicles.

In the past, schools had shop classes and home economics. I took both when I was growing up. Many schools don't have these classes anymore so kids don't get a foundation in being hands on. They don't get comfortable doing their own things. I think this is bad for society.

I know retired folks who work as handy men who have people in their 20's and early 30's as clients. They do simple things like hang pictures on walls (not joking).

Skilled trades working in plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, and so forth are going to be in higher demand in the future. Many are hitting retirement age and the back fill behind them isn't happening. This is happening at the same time construction is going up. Where I live it's almost impossible to find someone to do minor work around your house. Everyone is off doing the big ticket jobs.

Of course, the idea of recycle old things and buy new isn't working out so well. It's often throw out the old (where we fill dumps at increasing rates) and buy new. Setup by companies who make more money that way. For their financial benefit rather than our or our planets benefit.

Fixing things has never been easier. You can learn a ton a youtube these days. There are books, too. Parts are easier than ever to find and order.
