Yes, sales are at the front of the pipeline. If there aren’t prospects and customers to talk to, salespeople sit idle.

If you’re at a company and you look at your engineer to sales ratio you might think to yourself “gee, we have so many sales people!”

That’s because there’s not much multiplying factor to sales roles. There isn’t a lot of potential to automate like engineers can do. A salesperson only has so many hours in the day and they’re fitting maximum one or two customers into a one hour slot of their time.

> Say the wrong words and get financially destroyed

I would argue that a failed society is one that protects an individual at the cost of the group. You only see one individual held accountable for his words and actions, but you don't make any attempt to recognize the families and how their lives have been affected by Alex Jones' negligent and irresponsible words.
Morever, any serious media company in the world when faced with a suit like this would have lawyered up and diligently participated in their defense during the trial. Jones did the opposite: he and his counsel clownishly attempted to boycott the trial, despite repeated and escalating warnings from the judge, and ended up losing by default, which is an almost unprecedented outcome. Most companies don't respond to lawsuits by daring the state to demonstrate the rule of law.
Is that your world view, or satire?

Every child also needs a father. Not just his semen or his money.

To believe that you are expendable is just your mind providing a token explanation for deflecting intimacy. That’s the believe that others can only need, but never love you. Such thinking is a symptom for an avoidant attachment style. Those “explanations” tell you nothing about the world. Though they do tell you something about yourself.
Generalizing here, but that sounds exactly like teenagers. No perspective, and under way too much pressure to conform.

Of the last gen stuff, the 5800x3D is arguably among the best bang for buck, including for use in gaming builds. The applications where Intel's 12900K/12700K hold a significant advantage against the other chip with its 96MB of L3 cache typically aren't applications desperately in need of cpu power. IME it's poorly-optimized or hard-to-optimize software with bad cache coherency that most demands speed, and it's in those cases that the X3D delivers.

“Incredible human suffering”? This doesn’t seem like a serious comment.
Your speech has power. That’s why we carve out free speech protections from the government so you always have some measure of power against it. That power also means it can be used to damage others.

Being made to pay for damages you caused via speech is not censorship in the same way that being made to pay for damages you caused via fire is not censorship.

If you want to argue that it doesn’t have the power to damage, then who cares if it is censored. If you want to argue that you should be allowed to damage others with impunity and no consequences you’ll find most of humanity turning against you.
Bad headline. The jury ordered Jones to pay this; the headline as written suggests he made a commitment to do so, which is untrue (he plans to appeal). 'Alex Jones must pay' or 'Alex Jones ordered to pay' would be more meaningful.

> And even if I was swimming in money, it's often easier to just download the shows I want and watch them on Plex/Jellyfin than trying to navigate the (often ad-riddled) interfaces of the various platforms and finding where the content I want is.

I'm not quite there yet, but even when i already pay for the service (for example Amazon) i'm tempted to pirate it. My local Plex server is so much more usable than Amazon's terrible streaming app. Amazon's app freezes frequently for me, gets loading widgets stuck overlaying the movie/show, etc.

I'm debating finding a way to download shows i pay for and then watch them locally. A bit of a grey area between paying and pirating, but i'm done with their crap UXs.

I'll avoid pirating as long as i can because i make plenty to justify not pirating; but i will gladly solve their terrible UX problems myself if i am able. I am paying for it after all. TOS be damned.

At risk of being pedantic, the bar for defamation is considerably higher than “lying”. Very relevantly for cases like this, the plaintiffs were required to show that the false statements caused them harm, where the easiest kind of harm is financial harm (like losing your job because of the lie).

Notably, I can put up a billboard in my town that says “All of dragontamer’s code is buggy and it makes your computer smell bad”, and we’d be a long way off from you successfully suing me for defamation.

> was under the impression that saying “Trump is a murderous liar” is fine, if I say “Go kill trump”etc then that's incitement

If Alex Jones said "go kill these families," he'd likely be facing criminal charges. Instead, he made up specific claims which he kept repeating even after being shown evidence a reasonable person would accept as refutation of said claims.

To your analogy: if you said "Trump is a murderous liar who buggered my pet rabbit last Tuesday in New York," then were shown evidence Trump was in London and up to no buggery, and yet you kept saying it, yes, Trump might have a claim against you.
Seems like the kind of thing a jury of your peers could decide. Kind of like what happened in this case.

It also bears mentioning that the gulf between "it's going to rain" and "the parents of murdered children are actually 'deep-state' actors aiding a conspiracy to take away your rights" is vast.

> It breaks down a bit at the edges though, because extreme violations of speed limits can result in harm and death, while copyright is just lost profits.

It’s not remotely the same amount of harm, but mass violations of copyright seem to be able to end series and potentially production companies. Netflix and Hulu appear to be making go/no-go decisions about a series after the first few days/weeks of viewership data.
Longer support period. Easier to tell if you're getting a "good" phone since there's only a few models.

I use Android phones, but that last points almost dragged me in a few times after getting disappointing phones.

Why is this laughably wrong? Why is this so hard to believe?

Also, why would being a tech scion mean that you wouldn't want to use an iPhone? If anything, I'd argue that being in tech makes you appreciate the benefits of having an iPhone.

Even if people said that apple lacks innovation after Jobs, what they have done here in market penetration, branding, and ecosystem is brilliant. I don’t even know how they did it, they just keep creating new stuff in the ecosystem that makes it so hard to switch out once you’re in it

The visionary should be rewarded. Maybe that’s Tim? He does a far better job compared to the other ceo of big tech companies..
My 16 year old son has an iPhone because Apple has the best parental control integration built-in. Kids can always get around it, which is why I have monitoring the little bastard doesn't know about via my WiFi router, along with automated deactivation of his cellular data connection via a schedule with the carrier (after 10 PM on weekdays).

The "green bubble" crap that I get from my iPhone owning buddies due to my Pixel is most obnoxious because it's entirely Apple's choice to have that.

However, no question that teens are incredibly status conscious. After all, Abercrombie and Gap built massive businesses slapping labels on shitty goods and marking the price up by 1,000%. Nike as well.
For me, at least, the fundraising banner is drawn on the page after the main content. Which means that the main content loads, displays, and then is pushed downwards by the banner.

I don't know whether this is intentional, but if it is, then I would classify it as a dirty, attention-grabbing, dark-pattern-esque, trick. It would be more honest if they just used the blink tag.
They have no incentive to adopt some external standard if 4 out of 5 teens will be adopting their platform in the not-too-distant future.
At this point, I've come to think that nothing would help these people. Nut jobs will see what they want to see. So we might as well make pied pipers like Jones face the consequences of their actions, like what we saw with today's ruling.
This claim seems a little odd to me. I searched more about it and found this article: https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/01/06/gen-z-survey-says... from January saying the exact same thing as this fall survey, and this article form 2020 which says it was 86%: https://nationalinterest.org/blog/techland/apple-rules-86-pe... . I can't find an estimate for teen iPhone ownership besides this company but this just seems very high to me when you account for teens without a phone as well as non-iPhones. In comparison from what I can find about half of adults own an iPhone. The fact that it is this high and stable for several years seems suspect to me.

We like to fingerwag at social media companies for knowingly negatively impacting children's mental health and self-esteem, yet Apple is aware of how their systems ostracize children, in their own peer groups, who can't afford to carry around luxury phones.

It's one thing to be ostracized by strangers on social media, it's an entirely other thing to be ostracized by your own friends and peers. The latter is tragically more personal and leaks into the real world with real world consequences.
What's a "green bubble"?
Yes, I have tried CLion, Visual Studio, and VSCode.

Visual Studio is amazing for GUI debugging, and not much else.

For large C++ codebases with some meta programming, these are all fairly bad at code completion and refactoring.

VSCode is getting better though!

If an AI can do MIDI just fine then it's an extremely small leap to doing audio just fine.

Unfortunately this is not true. It takes a huge amount of human effort to make MIDI encoded music sound good. The difference between MIDI and raw audio music generation is the same as the difference between drawing a cartoon and producing a photograph.

To clarify, yes MIDI can be expressive, but what's being generated when people say "AI generates MIDI music" is basically a piano roll.

Iphone users on android devices are also subpar. When you "like" a text or whatever those interactions can get sent as a new text. One iphone user in a group text can spam the entire group with a flood of pointless interactions.

I agree with your perspective - for me Signal is yet another (more secure) internet messaging app on my phone, and I'm happy that way. I wouldn't want it to have anything to do with SMS, no more than I want FB messenger to start handling my SMS (which it does offer at installation time). Plus, having used Signal since the TextSecure days, I saw the SMS feature the same way the announcement seems to characterize it: as old tech debt waiting to get dropped. After all, I don't think Signal for iOS ever had SMS ability.

And to your main point, I hadn't even considered before seeing this comment thread that anybody felt differently, let alone so strongly. Really illustrates how differently people think about the same app.
If flexibility and having an unlocked phone is important to you then you might just be better off with android. I've daily driven both. I kind of like the iPhone hardware a little better but android software a little better. both do what I need.

If you follow the trial at all, you'll see that this was not just "he said a bad thing one time and people are mad at him." He has a strongly demonstrated pattern of lies, perjury, obstruction of the legal process, and encouraging harassment against the Sandy Hook families.

Copyright anarchy and copyright abolition are absolutely coherent moral frameworks.

Oh you made it did you? Should've thought about my BATNA before deciding how to put it on the market.

For the record, I'm quite a bit more moderate than this would imply. But copyright is a weird wrinkle to "encourage the useful arts and sciences", it's has no basis in natural rights, the opposite in fact: the State intervenes in my natural right to do things with my own computer and the Internet connection I pay for, in order to encourage the making of more cinema and so on.

RCS is less of an industry standard than iMessage.

Apple built something better. So did Google. Then Google killed theirs. Then they did the same thing three more times.

It's no wonder nobody wants to use Google messaging, and that Google resorts to smear campaigns. People would rather use WhatsApp spyware from FB/Meta or totally unencrypted Discord/Slack than bother with another Google IM product (which, let's be clear, is 100% what RCS is).

PS: Apple preserves a backdoor in the end to end crypto of iMessage for government surveillance that allows Apple to read all iMessages. iMessage isn't good either.

You could argue that using drones to kill people is murdering, you can point to times when he lied. It also just strikes me as different when saying things about someone who is in public office and saying things about private citizens who aren't in the spotlight at all.
Unions are democratic organisations. If they’re insisting on gaining something, then a majority of the members are insisting on it.

He probably could have made such an argument or a similar one on his defense but he received a default judgement because he continuously refused to show up to court dates for his case and perjured himself repeatedly.
