Plenty of students want to live off campus, as adults, instead of being on campus.

It’s unconscionable that the city would be so un-accommodating to students while exploiting them for rent money and economic gain.
> If I use the Apple Mail app with default settings from my iCloud account to e-mail ten lawn care services, I won't start seeing web ads for lawn care. If I use Gmail with default settings, I will.

That's because Apple doesn't operate ad-services on scale at this point, particularly not on the web. The fact that they are scanning each and every email was made clear when they announced their CSAM scanner you also mentioned. I strongly doubt that Apple operates a crime-fighting division and that is the only purpose of scanning content. It's much more likely that they already analyze messages and content with other ML-models to refine the persona they created of a user.

So yes,they don't show you personalized ads on webpages, but without them operating in ads that's not an indicator of privacy.
After failing to compete on Ads since 2010, their effort just started to ramp up in the last year.

> No, the main thing that Apple does differently is make their money by selling hardware, software, and services directly to end users.

Agreed, but Hardware is a segment that is close to saturation, and the majority of SW R&D resources are spent on the OS which is provided free of charge when purchasing the Hardware.
Their growth-strategy is quite obviously based on services, with the strongest-growing of them being platforms of consumption (Appstore, Music, TV,...) and platforms of data-aggregation (Cloud, Pay, Card, CarPlay, Homekit,...).

Those consumption platforms serve content of third parties competing with each other for the user, and as the platform provider Apple offers those sellers paid services to reach the user.

I am fine to disagree, but in the growing world of services which are about to reach 25% of Apple's revenue soon, the Apple user who created the hardware revenue is the product being sold by Apple. To App-Developers, Music publishers, Movie Studios, Mobile carriers,...

Long ago, the gameshow 'Wheel of Fortune' made players spend the money they won on selection of prizes instead of getting cash. Watching an old episode recently, I put the price of the refrigerator into an inflation calculator and was astonished by just how expensive it was, relatively speaking, back then. No doubt that was the MSRP and could be purchased for less at Sears, but it still was a shock to see how much more expensive such goods were back then. Ditto for exercise equipment. We've become so accustomed to even large appliances being relatively inexpensive that we tolerate them being mostly disposable instead of repairable.
Absolutely. After 20 years of commuting 30-60 min each way there is zero chance (short of economic collapse) I will ever work full time in the office again.
My employer benefits as I am on a little earlier each morning than I would be if I had to drive in. I know my health and stress level are better and I have extra time with my family. It's a huge win win.
Correct. Once you go Metcal you don’t go back. When I got divorced the first thing I put on the “mine” list was my Metcal :)

My parents had a Tandy when I was young, so from about '90-'96 (we got a Windows 95 desktop around that time). I distinctly remember my first video game, Donald's Alphabet Chase (starring Donald Duck) but didn't discover until years later that it was developed by Westwood, of Command and Conquer fame.

We also had a typewriter as our printer, which had a single line preview/edit mode when using as a typewriter, and a daisywheel printer sort of mechanism when printing from the PC.

Don't get me started on bicycle wheels. My wife and I both had wheels nominally of the standard size (28 inches). Guess what -- standard 622 ("28 inch") tyres did not fit either of our bikes, but her wheels were too small, and mine were too big!

So we have two different bikes both ostensibly of the standard size, but both differing from it in different directions!

(Yes, I have looked it up on Sheldon Brown's bike tyre sizing guide -- there are two different sizes that are almost the standard size but not quite, one too small, and one too large. So this is not just our bikes that were faulty, these weird sizes are out there.)

If I remember correctly, this means that CH is independent of the other axioms of set theory. So in theory you could come up with another set of meaningful axioms (I.e. ones that produce and capture interesting mathematics), and in which you could prove CH.

I think one of the commenters on Twitter got it right. The fact that Citi did not back down after a CFBP tells me there is a SAR (Suspicious Activity Report) on the file, which the bank is not legally allowed to inform the customer about.
I think this is a sign that Microsoft sees the writing on the wall. There will be a day when Windows is left behind, and they want to make sure that they can continue to deliver the Microsoft experience, even on other platforms.
Generally speaking to what they did, they're generally encouraged to produce diagrams that could help explain the problem and solution, and that's all usually part of a slide deck (but doesn't have to be). Having an enumerated list of outcomes is also nice. None of what they need to bring needs to be original. We're obviously not encouraging developers to steal from their former employers.

> Destroying the infrastructure doesn't give Russia an additional capability

Remember the many deaths of important people in Russia but also abroad?

It could very well be about "sending a message" while maintaining plausible deniability. Just like when the Russian oligarch was murdered in Spain a few months ago, and his whole family. Russia had nothing to do with it! But all the others got the message - you are not safe anywhere.

Similar here. There are a lot of other pipelines. If you look at the news, Poland opened a new pipeline from Norway exactly now! What a coincidence in timing?

The threat is that they can destroy any important infrastructure, cables and pipelines, under the sea, and there is no way to prove it was Russia.

It fist very well with how Russia operated this year. The many many different threats, direct and indirect, and demonstrations to actually carry them out.

To me, it's plausible. Much more so than "the US did it", or even Ukraine. Neither has any reason to stupidly risk their relationship with the Europeans for that, Ukraine least of all, and the US is already set to be the main supplier of LNG (German article: https://www.merkur.de/wirtschaft/usa-wird-wohl-wichtigster-l...). Gas exports for the US are nice to have, but not nearly essential, I think the US's own independence was the main driver in investing into domestic fossil fuel extraction, exports are a distant second. And they already got them, as I pointed out, no need for such a stupidly risky thing. Russia on the other hand does not need to gain anything, they can be content setting up a bigger threat scenario now that Putin escalated almost as much as he will be able to excluding using "WMD".

By the way, Der Spiegel is reporting that the CIA warned the German Government that an attack on the pipelines might be imminent. (Paywall and German -https://www.spiegel.de/politik/beschaedigte-gasleitungen-cia...)

I don't really disagree with your information or analysis, but it was very unhelpful to start out accusing someone of being a "troll".
Not really if you are expected to come in person once for the final interview and then max of 1 or 2 weeks within the whole year (fully paid by the company). Hybrid is when you have people required to come in at least 1-2 times every week and expectation is that you cannot live far away from the office.
I have not but I have heard first hand of people interviewing remotely from India (from big staffing firms of course) that were great for the job and then on the first day (pre covid) they physically showup it is a completely different person. They assume that westerners will not be able to tell the two apart and apparently it is pretty damn obvious.

TLDR: Giant staffing firms suck for everyone

Removing rules against foreign bribery would ultimately result in flows of capital from countries with no rule of law to countries with rule of law. This is especially true if the corrupt officials spend their ill gotten gains in the West. If Glencore can get oil at a 20% discount from Nigeria or Angola why should we be complaining? Given that most of the OECD (except maybe Mexico Turkey and parts of Italy) don’t really have serious corruption problems, it sounds like OECD countries are mostly shooting themselves in the foot. Although America and the UK are the only countries that actually enforce these laws anyways.
Dating apps have issues, sure, but those issues have not even come close to stopping people from using them. Dating apps are ubiquitous among those in their early 20s here.
Alright, so I'm guessing when people have to give up personal freedom for collective values, it's called ‘leftist’, right? Like, freedom of personal expression and freedom over one's own body—so men are forbidden from growing out long hair and decorating themselves with trinkets, women have to look ‘womanly’ and to assume traditional matronly roles, homosexuality is outlaw, recreational drugs are criminal as damaging for the society at large. Likewise, people are precluded from spending their money as they see fit, and the state dictates what healthcare, schools, universities and other caregiving establishments look like, such that everybody pays taxes for them. People can't sell each other whatever they want, but have to follow invasive regulation by the state. This all is leftism.
That's fair, I guess sometimes people have different definitions of "100%".

i wish there was a way, with CSS only, to specifically target existing css rules, and have one rule change to another rule, globally. for instance, something like: [position:fixed] { position:relative }. i.e. that is different than * { position:relative }, because it doesn't apply position:relative to everything, it only changes position:fixed to position:relative.
And what would these many reasons be?
The one I got is "Kester 24-6337-8800 50 Activated Rosin Cored Wire Solder Roll, 245 No-Clean, 63/37 Alloy, 0.031" Diameter". I have no idea which of those words and numbers are significant. :)

I didn't go lead-free because I've heard leaded solder is easier to use (lower melting point?) and since I'm just a part-time hobbyist, the health and environment considerations are minimal. It's not like I'm soldering eight hours a day every day.
Remote means you are not assigned to an office period. It says nothing about whether you never/rarely travel or travel essentially 100% of the time eg many consultants.

Obviously people should take positions that align with their preferences however. Just be sure to specify upfront and be prepared to move if circumstances change.
You backup your laptop, bare metal with something like Veeam or at file system level using Restic, and wipe the disk.

I have to disagree. The best apple pies use a range of apples. By adding different types of apples you add different texture and flavors to your pie. I will typically use 2-5 different types of apples and I bake apple pie all the time. I'm certainly no authority, just feedback I've gathered personally as the apple pie maker in the family.

The reality is most people can cut up apples and add sugar. The hardest part is the dough, the apples might not even matter, if the crust isn't good the entire pie fails.

Asking this question on the internet is an interesting experiment, but it's not going to give you an accurate depiction of real life.

You can still ask people out at bars or even grocery stores, etc. The key is to strike up a conversation and not be so intent on asking someone out. If there's some chemistry, then maybe you ask them out. If you get rejected, take it in stride.

If you go in with the singular goal of getting a date or hooking up, there's a good chance that you'll come across as desperate and end up disappointed, but if you go in thinking about having fun and making friends, that can open new doors.
Serious answer, because I have users/customers who I care about that use that platform, and sometimes I use it myself. A world built on absolutes falls to pieces really quickly.

Or observe how often the AC (or heat) comes on and how long it runs each time. There's a strong correlation between that and outdoor temperature.

You might even be able to come up with a numerical guesstimate. Theoretically, a properly designed AC system is sized to run 100% of the time during the hottest weather. And obviously 0% if it's cool enough outside.

Or just look around the office and note how people are dressed, whether there are coats on people's chairs, how heavy those coats are, and whether you see any umbrellas lying around.

Did Amazon make a deal with Firefox to send all browsing DNS lookups to them without asking end users?

Is Amazon trying to encourage people to use DNS-over-https with specious claims that your ISP is evil, but of course Cloudflare is not, without telling us that DoH takes control away from us so we can't block ads or otherwise decide what we want to allow or block?

Is Amazon trying to push everything through just a handful of IPs so that people can't block nefarious content without also blocking legitimate content?

If everyone were on-board with what Cloudflare wants, the Internet would be re-centralized around them, and because they don't "host" (which is a special kind of bullshit) and they don't "censor", bad actors will have free reign, so long as Cloudflare is making $$$.

Occam razor here would be internal fighting about Russia factions. The cost/benefit of getting discovered vs not here are not in favor of any external NATO-ish player since there is already enough cohesion, while getting caught would be catastrophic. Literally little to gain and all to lose. And the temporal difference between the reported seismic events is also against the idea of an external country doing it: you wouldn't wait that long between events since it would massively increase the risk of getting discovered. If you are doing a proper sabotage you'd have events close to each other (30m or so) or very spread (days away)
