Sounds believable to me. Google is really good at data warehouse & database tech (BigQuery, BigTable, Spanner) and access management systems, as well as sturdy custom-built tools for internal use by employees.

Even though it might not be intentional, Apple is lagging at such tooling.
GAH NO.
Can't say for Apple, but can confirm that it's quite challenging to access arbitrary user data in Google without giving good justification and all the log accesses are subject to audit. This is not just a mere possibility; also heard that a few cases were actually escalated and resulted in termination because of inappropriate access.
PayPal appears to be in a horrible state: I just got $3k stolen, probably via their SMS-based(!!) login[1] I had no idea about. I had 2FA disabled because it doesn't work in Safari which also means iOS app is unusable.

But after I detected the first unauthorized withdrawal of $1.5k and enabled 2FA, the hacker still was able to make the second one a couple of days later! I'm appalled by the abysmal level of their security.

Great insight, thanks. Are there any 'honest' ad networks with integrity out there in your opionion?
Is there anything in this argument that can't be equally applied to religion? _"Some truth can be captured by the scientific method. But not all. Some deep truths about human nature require instead the reflection provoked by [prayer, religious experience, etc]"_

Maybe there's value in literature, but I don't know if "truth" is the right word for it. I find when people find "truth" in literature, they're mostly using fictional anecdotes to support their preconceived notions about human nature and/or morality. They interpret the books in ways that support what they already think is true.

Typical would be very unpleasant pre-PIP ordeals.

Of course managers are busy doing this instead of guiding their projects.

Bad for the projects and bad for the companies. It's exactly how Lumberghs or Pointy Haired Bosses get created.
the mechanism isn't important. what apple restricts is access to any kind of cross app identifier like the idfa unless the user explicitly opts in. sketchier platforms use device fingerprinting but apple also forbids that under it's terms

the only way to do cross app tracking in ios without the user opting in and without violating apple policy is via explicitly associating accounts across apps either via oauth or some kind of account linking
We keep dev/staging/prod in different accounts, and we host some special environments for customers which is in separate accounts as well.

The only reason you want to do these things is for security and liability purposes. They are not an advantage for organizing things, but rather they protect against accidental resource deletion and unauthorized / unintended access.

It’s cumbersome to manage many accounts, but that’s a feature, not a bug: it’s intended to be difficult to switch between accounts, so that you can’t accidentally fat finger the wrong button.
>Mania lets one live at a greatly accelerated rate...It often gives me a deep understanding of how people work

My friend experienced this for the first time recently and can relate, although she does not think it helped her understand people better.

However, the burst of confidence, creative (and sexual) energy did lead her to more prosocial behaviours but in retrospect she was as awkward as ever, without the usual stabilizers of self-consciousness and social anxiety. My friend did some silly things, has regrets and may have overwhelmed people, but she does not think it was necessarily pathological.

My friend got really scared of herself when she realized what she was doing. She felt like she was experiencing the energy of a stimulant high for a few weeks, despite being sober.
My friend is not sure if it was worth it, nor did she prefer it to being depressed, because of that fear of herself.
I recently started reading that book have been constructing a drinking game based on it. I'd definitely recommend the book so far, but wouldn't necessarily recommend this drinking game:

* Every time a new process is described as being a factor of x times faster/cheaper/better than its predecessor, take log(x) sips of your drink

* Take a sip of your drink for every unique 3-Population Test or a 4-Population test that is described (where uniqueness is defined as the set of populations going into the test).

* Take a shot every time the difference between Population X's DNA and East Asian DNA is used as a unit of measure. Take an additional shot for the quantity if it's more than one, e.g. "The difference between Denisovan and European Hunter Gatherer DNA is twice as large as the difference between Denisovan and modern East Asian DNA." would result in two shots.

* Take a shot every time certain events are described as happening in sequence, but the years also have overlapping error bars
> What is described here is something I also struggle with - the obligation to explain my worldview to others. [...] What I see as matter-of-fact can make others extremely sad.

Hopefully I'm not making the struggle worse by asking this -- but can you explain what you mean? That is, what is it about your worldview that causes others to feel extremely sad?
Ok, FYI but “fetch” was relegated in the movie to irrelevance, ie, “stop trying to make fetch a thing.” So for the “fetch”-aware audience, the title reads, “Raft Is *Irrelevant*: … Explained Through Mean Girls”

Résumé/CV: Available by email

I have an engineering PhD and I am currently working as a postdoc, and have an additional 3 and a half years of professional experience as an engineer. I have experience working with a remote team around the world. I am experienced in machine learning and data analysis. I have worked on research projects where I have applied regression, classification, feature extraction for analysis of time series data and spectrometer data. This was mostly in Python with Tensorflow and Keras. I have used feature extraction to maximise performance and covert 1D data into 2D formats, and used transfer learning and image recognition techniques with excellent results. I have also worked programming microcontrollers (ESP32 and STM32) and worked on electronic schematic design and PCB design. I am looking for a position primarily focused on ML and data science. I have a limited contract for my current position and I am hoping to start a new position in Jan or Feb 2023. I am also happy to work hours that would give some overlap with time zones in USA/Canada.
in the US, at least Citi (that i know of) lets you create virtual card numbers.
If Apple starts running invasive ads or other bad practices, it will further the development of the PinePhone / LibrePhone. It will also cause a lot (possibly even the majority) of developers to switch from iOS / macOS to open-source OSs. In this sense, invasive advertising would be a bad idea economically.

A lot of developers who value "open-source" still use iOS and macOS. A big reason is because, despite being proprietary, this software is good. The minor flaws (macOS harder to modify, iOS being locked-down, both platforms being not open-source and less compatible with open-source than Linux/BSD) don't outweigh the work of creating a new OS which has the benefits (seamless user experience, fast, good design, efficient for productivity). A big reason PinePhone and LibrePhone are far behind iOS is simply because there isn't enough motivation - the hardware is there, it's the software (e.g. smooth gestures) which are lacking.

Apple would not lose much of their userbase, as a minority of "non-developer" people don't care about invasive ads. But a lot of developers do, and having developers move away is still really bad because it affects Apple's ecosystem. Devs don't just use iOS and macOS, they make software for these platforms and even directly contribute to open-source Apple code. If everyone is making software and fixing bugs for Linux and LineageOS instead, they will get better and cause more developers and eventually ordinary users to migrate away.

So even if they can't be required to scan, they can be punished for not scanning if something illegal turns up

Principal in tech hiring is a seniority - it is the highest level of IC seniority. There can be more than one.

Maybe they need someone sufficiently senior to take over parts of the project.

Maybe they can not afford to / are unwilling to compensate for the role - FAANG still out-pays most other companies.

Maybe they've lost a couple of senior hires - finding the right fit is difficult.
'Deeply suspicious' is an understatement. These corporations don't have your back, and if something benefits the user, it's only as a side effect. Sadly, many still buy into the messaging, which must be hard to avoid when Apple's marketing has always been around making you feel like the kool kid in the block. Anybody who has ever believed Apple's pro-privacy scam is living in a fairy tale.
I don't think they're different issues in terms of solution, important, of course.
As stated in TFA - with an emphasis on news articles - article titles, and the articles themselves are being modified in real time as the metrics collected with the article are aggregated and interpreted.

We also see this with titles for YouTube videos, taking down social media videos which don't get much attention to create a specific narrative, and so forth.

In other words, the media of today is not static, even once publicly published.
The Apple philosophy though is to think of the phone as an appliance, not a general purpose computer. The model of "ownership" is also a lot more gray with Apple devices. The idea that Apple has more control over the device than you do is the accepted norm. Given that, I think they could easily argue that your data is on their device, so analyzing/checking is expected. They've been slowly iterating more and more to this model for years, likely because I think a lot of people will not go along with it unless the heat turns up slowly.
Here's a plan: Tax it. Tax the everliving hell out of it.

The problem isn't the existence of advertising, it is that there is so much of the crap advertising. Taxing ads would raise the price of advertising, which would lower the ROI on advertising and force ad buyers to be more careful about which ads they buy. Crappy advertisers who are not actually connecting buyers with sellers would tend to go out of business, shrinking the industry. The remaining ad industry would have to create less ads with higher quality to compete in the newer high cost marketplace.

Basically, the idea is to move the supply curve on the (on the supply and demand curves) to a place where they meet at a higher price and a lower quantity. See for example, https://www.economicshelp.org/microessays/equilibrium/price-... (scroll down to Tax Incidence). Note that for advertising the 'producer' on this graph is the company making the ads and the 'consumer' is the company buying an ad for their product. The part about moving the curve to a lower quantity is the key! The goal here being to reduce the ratio of 'attention used' to 'product-consumer fit created'. We would have a smaller, better ad industry. We can't have that with current market conditions; competition won't allow it.

The nice thing about a tax plan is that it is pretty easy to sell people on the idea of 'take money away from these people who annoy all of us and give it to [insert social good here]' . The best people in advertising would likely benefit from it as well, as they would likely stay in business and have better margins in a smaller industry with less competition.

So, keep dreaming, but feel free to spread this idea around. Maybe it will grow by word-of-mouth.
I found that planning my _weeks_ was far more valuable than planning my _days_. As you point out, daily life is too chaotic, but a week is something you can actually work with.

I found the same to be true with dieting. You shouldn't plan your diet around single days of eating, you should plan it around an entire week of eating.
IIRC I sent one of my free roses to my current girlfriend. She wasn't one of my standouts but I wanted to get her attention and it worked. With how many normal likes she showed me she had in her inbox, there's no way we would have even chatted if I hadn't jumped the queue.

The "Standouts" feature still felt like a total scam to me though. "Here's a bunch of women we think are out of your league, pay us and we'll let them know you exist".

Respect Culver, one of the sounder PRC analyst out there.

But article talks about moves PLA modernization is trending towards. Exercises are going to get larger with increasingly huge mobilization for training purposes, munition factories are going to start stockpiling after improved jointness narrows procurement, state censorship apparatus can turn on dime.

All of which ignores PRC actual invasion will be preempted by long range / standoff attacks from land, air and sea. Even an autist like Ian Easton acknowledges PLA rocketry gives TW leadership ~8minutes of warning max before decapitation strike.

The more PLA modernizes, the larger the scale of joint training/exercises, the less warning there will be.

Seems like the folks over at Dropout.tv are doing it right now. They have their own Netflix-like subscription model with their own content and no ads. They put out older videos onto free streaming platforms like YouTube to attract people to come subscribe for the things going on now. They have huge production value, tons of different content, hours long videos, etc. I have no idea what tech they use on the back end, but maybe a bunch of folks in the gaming space could bundle themselves under a brand and take that approach.
not everyone here is a straight man, welcome to the future
I mean, do you think ADHD is new? Did it just not exist before 1990 or whenever it was made up? Do you think any medical condition before then covers what ADHD is/was?

Lance Armstrong when he is biking and Lance Armstrong when he is recovering are not the same either. But Lance can take drugs to get more of the biking time and less of the recovering time. This is how SPD and ADHD work. ADHD is just a medicated false mask that a schizoid person can maintain for longer periods of time than usual, without episodes of hermitude to recharge. They're doping.

Failure to maintain the mask looks like a breakdown in attention/focus. People do long, focused work because of the expectations of others. Schizoids don't experience that, but instead basically run on obsession. They stop working when that fizzles out. On pills, though, they can work forever.

The 'scientific' people serve the people making the pills and nobody else. They rename everything every few years to sell more pills. If you want a proper take on SPD, look up Millon and his subtypes. Most of the "knowledge" of conditions in the zeitgeist comes from prescription drug commercials.

That roughly agrees with my back of the envelope math. A dozen dairy goats should be able to provide about $80k/year and it doesn't seem like they'd need too much room (my parents house in the country has enough land out back to do this and the neighbors are far enough away to not complain about goats... and, well, the neighbors have cows and so aren't likely to complain in any case - this isn't an option for someone living in the suburbs though).

Still, animal husbandry isn't something for me. It's not the animals, but rather the business side of it that is at issue.

None of these concerns require multiple accounts. An account is a container for resources and resources do have tangible isolation between them if configured properly and properly delegated credentials should be issued to staff which are specific and limited in capability. Same with assumed roles. Same with VPC configurations.

If you didn't do that, you fucked up. Adding more accounts doesn't guarantee that you didn't fuck up.
