If you take off on day 50 23 hours type of thing is more of what I was getting at. It's very easy to just hit skip when presented dialogs like "3 more days to reset password" or "3 more days until scheduled reboot". As long as it doesn't end during your flight, why not push it for someone else? Otherwise, you just make it part of every flight's routine to reboot.
I've no idea what your point is in relation to the topic. Stealing money is against the law, so that already rules it out from "making money". That was my point.
This is a bad idea. You'll make a dah sound like two or three badly timed dits.

Founding the fastest $1 trillion dollar company in the 21st century sounds like what a product visionary would make and Zuckerberg is undisputed over that claim, while many have told him the Instagram purchase was a mistake, after finding another billion users again.

They were boycotted because they were sham, non-binding referendums. There was never an effort from the mainland to introduce this into Congress seriously.

Therefore. Since nobody in Congress or White House lifts a finger, the referendum becomes just another political rally cry for the local pro-statehood party.

The United States and their political class have made it exceedingly clear that they favour the status quo -- both economically and politically -- at the expense of the island folk who suffer increasing austerity cuts and a deteriorating standard of living.

It's beyond me how WhatsApp has had so many exploitable memory bugs compared to e.g. Signal or Telegram. Is it really just because security researchers would rather look at WA than Signal because of it's bigger user base?

Yes, this is what you'll end up getting on so called 'free speech' platforms. Because, unfortunately, these days what people really mean when they say 'free speech' is actually a veil for them to say hateful things about marginalized groups of people.
Yet in the last paragraph: "Liberal democracy will not make a comeback unless people are willing to struggle on its behalf."

If it might not make a comeback then how is it anywhere near the 'End of History'?

I thought the “visual learner” classification was a myth.

That may be over-generalizing. From what I've seen, the studies that debunked this idea debunked something fairly specific, not necessarily every possible formulation of what this phrase could mean to people.

It's an interesting case study in how much power financial incentives have.

Google didn't start as an ad platform, at least not that I ever heard. It started as a legimate attempt at building better search. Do you remember how bad web search was before Google?

However once it had some success and advertising revenue started coming in, that changed the entire focus and culture of the company. Now everything is about ads. Search is just a means to serve ads. Google phones and Android? Ads. Chrome browser? Ads. Gmail? Ads.

C is a small and straightforward language. It's easy to learn. It's the lingua franca of the programming languages (in that the foreign language interface of other languages is usually C). You're possibly expending more effort justifying not learning C than it would take to learn it :-) And once you learn it, as a professional programmer you'll garner a career's worth of benefit from it.

Take the plunge. Learn how to swim, how to touch-type, how compound interest works, how to read a balance sheet, how to tie various knots, how to drive a stick shift, how to integrate and differentiate, how to unclog a drain, how to jump start a car, how to change a tire, how to write a program in C.

As an old guy, I know these simple skills pay off in various and unexpected ways.

Abstract algebra (i.e. actual algebra, as opposed to doing useless stuff to poor polynomials) requires one to have developed the mathematical maturity to iron out informal thinking.

I'm not sure I understand still; when I was a student I found my classes to move at a tediously slow pace, often going into detail about and even repeating obvious things. Even in university engineering classes (e.g. walking through "Fourier's trick" multiple times when it's just a dot product/projection). You seem to be saying we need more of that (and maybe that's true for most people!).

Wouldn't that mean tracking is a better solution? Let the advanced kids who can quickly understand/infer the ideas and techniques move on, and walk through the details/give lots of practice to the other kids?
Independent Fact Checkers have confirmed this is false.

I somewhat agree with the thrust of the article (IE we are not letting people learn well), but unfortunately, the "different kinds of learning styles" thing that it relies heavily on has been debunked many times.

There is simply no evidence for it, and study after study shows that trying to match method to perceived learning style does not improve performance.

It is one of those things that seems like it should be true, and therefore people like it, but there is no evidence that it is in fact, true, and plenty against, for well over a decade at this point.

> We also have seen the stratospheric rise of narcisism.

> I've wondered if this is a new phenomenon

Christopher Lasch in the 70s has a very precise answer to your question. Narcissism is the inevitable defense mechanism to navigate a society in which all organization of civic and family life are increasingly bureaucratic, state-governed, and transactional, a defense mechanism in a society in which all models and ideals are mediated by imagery and advertisement.

In such a society, man cannot but end up with a personality that's hesitant to make close bonds of affection or develop personal loyalty. It is inevitable to nurture insecurities about one's own station in life or one's role in the power structure, about one's physical appearance. To thrive in such a society of impersonal bureaucracy and cult of youth, one almost has, by necessity, to be low key manipulative, congenial on the surface, effortless "cool", preoccupied with projection of identity and youthful vigor.

His are two important insights imho: His analysis precedes internet-era, the preconditions are more fundamental than just social media-fueled victim culture. Also, current epidemic of absorption is at its core a survival strategy for a bureaucratic, technisized world; we cannot expect any change unless the relations between labor, family, and state do not fundamentally become less bureaucratic.
The fact that you hide it from both employers is what's wrong with it. It's unethical, even if it's not illegal, especially because you're likely doing both jobs during the same hours. It's not like you do one 8 to 5 and the other 6-2.

When an employer hires you "full-time", they're asking for your full and complete attention. I'm not saying they own you or that you should work more than what you're getting paid for. But you're short changing your team, your manager, and the company who is trusting you.

I take it you're not a manager/leader. If you were, you'd get this. Imagine every member of your team double timing. Now you're left with a bunch of people half-assing it. It's deeply demoralizing.

And without ethics, you're just a cheat. It's no different than cheating in an exam.

If you want to earn more, start a business. Become a consultant. Learn how to make yourself more valuable. Don't cheat.
> You can make everything about democracy, but that says more about you.

Why wouldn't you? Democracy is the only thing that pulled at least some of us out of terrifying cycles of tyranny, rebellion, and war.

> Putin and Xi, for example, are not motivated by destroying democracy, that’s just a byproduct of what they actually want (imperial ambitions).

Putin's and Xi's original ambitions were destroying democracy. Now that they're dictators, their ambitions have grown.

You make it sound like they don't have anything against democracy, which is ludicrous.
There are countless places in life where people do elective activities that would be potentially deadly if they didn't have a base level of knowledge, and in none of those is the general expectation that people will make the cutoff "where the risk of that error is the lowest."

Why? Because it's not that hard to figure out whether you're misestimating your level of knowledge if you actually do things to attempt that verification.

If you're not going to attempt that, yes -- you should stay away from virtually all things that have ever killed anyone, ever.

Capturing a user's credentials and logging in to a system they don't manage is nowhere near your analogy. Unless AA is operating a public API, this is an unauthorized use of their service, which they absolutely have the right to shut down and protect themselves against. If someone takes the key to my house and goes inside without my permission, it's still breaking and entering.
I've never experienced auditory hallucinations before. I did however do a 42 hour self navigated run last year with 0 sleep. After about 30 hours I was visually hallucinating pretty much consistently. Amongst the things I saw was Darth Vader, a giant lego man, our cat sleeping on the trail, spectators that weren't there, a banker sitting at a desk staring at me, a church building that wasn't there, signs that didn't exist, and more.

I think it has to do with the way the human visual system effectively does edge detection and then groups those into objects and attaches meaning. When you are extremely sleep deprived, the edges gets grouped differently and you start seeing things that aren't there.

I could judge what was real or not based on likelihood of me seeing said things in the wilderness, or if I got close enough I would be able to tell what I was really looking at. Another runner later informed me that I had told him he wasn't real when he passed me.
I worked briefly years back on a web app at AA that provided the scheduling features for flight staff that this app provides. I didn’t see what happened to it in the end, but reading the app’s feature list, it sounds like that app plus social elements and weather. From scraping, which is scary IMHO.
<<One of the most useless questions you can ask a kid is, What do you want to be when you grow up? The more useful question is: What are you good at?>>

Asking what are you good at is the most useless question.

"640K ought to be enough for anybody." - etc etc etc.

It's becoming increasingly clear that many of these techniques that for the past 10 years that have been derided "pointless" or novelty now have real applications.

For one example, the automotive industry - ignore the hype on autonomy, computer vision is already delivering real benefits for active safety systems. I use github copilot every day - its not perfect but good enough to add value to my workflow. Apple's automated tagging of my photo library via computer vision allows me to discover hundreds of images of my life and family I'd forgotten all about. Stable diffusion can clearly replace an artist in some cases, ignoring the moral/ethical issues.

I'm extremely excited for future of all this, frankly. The first step into such a new paradigm is always hard - people made the exact same "home computers are pointless" arguments in the late 70s/early 80s. I don't think anyone agrees with that anymore...
One positive aspect of this is that, assuming we taxed these payments as income, it would reduce the deficit by around $2.5B/yr, or around 0.1% of the deficit.

ISPs should be punished for this. It should be a legally binding document that the ISP can hand the consumer saying "Yes, we can supply service at this address" - under penalty of no-cost installation if it turns out they don't.

Can a water or electric company do the same thing without repercussions? I guess it depends on the state/country. They probably shouldn't be able to if they can.

People making six/seven figure purchasing decisions and not having the ability to verify they have _any_ service is morally repugnant to me - even without the added barb of the $210k quote for running internet.

Good luck getting anything in writing from an ISP - and good luck taking them to court if you get that document in writing, they have more money than you and would likely easily win.

I agree, and I work on a team with impressively thorough review habits. The obvious reason is that tests allow reviewers to focus on more substantive questions than what the code behavior is (eg “is this the desired behavior?”). A less obvious reason, but more compelling to me, is that code which hasn’t changed is very unlikely to be reviewed in the context of changes under review, even if the unchanged code should have changed.

This seems pretty absurd. The guy was in the middle of a mass murder--interruption via lethal force seems appropriate. I don't think it's realistic to expect that we can apprehend every mass murderer without trading off innocent lives. I certainly wouldn't want more people to die so we can say that we tried negotiating with the shooter. I strongly prefer this outcome to Uvalde.
> I’ve lamented here before, but the number of technical people who absolutely freeze up at the sight of an error message is daunting.

"freeze" is still a much better reaction than "quickly dismiss without paying attention". I can understand "freeze"; it's possible to learn and train from there to "good, well done, now read everything and think". I do not understand "quickly dismiss without reading and paying attention".

(I know about the studies for "people dismiss something that isn't getting them their goal", but I still don't understand the mindset that can dismiss something like that even when theoretically trying to figure something out.)
