> The commonsense view of consciousness tells us that the conscious decision to act precedes and causes the action itself.

I don't get it. The effect (the advancing of the slide) doesn't precede the cause (you deciding to advance it). The thing here is only that they dispensed with the middle step of physically pushing the button.
Lifetime has been significantly cheapened and hollowed out as a meaning full word when it comes to products, thanks to the ever present unspoken "lifetime of the product". In the context of products if I think of "lifetime" as about 2 years, maybe a little less or more depending upon the company, but far less than a decade in all cases.

Well, sort of; a service agreement is a relationship, and TPM/remote attestation is a huge overreach by the corporate party. It's only fair to want to push back on what's becoming an abusive relationship.
They apply in-app purchase rules to other, non-ad, digital goods, right? In that light, applying IAP to this type of digital good seems like what I'd expect Apple to want to do.
Yuu're both right. For some reason I had:

Could be that's the default. I certainly don't remember disabling WebAssembly at any time.

It would be more like 1200 years ago. Because almost no one today has the tools, skills, experience, and supply chains needed to recreate the Industrial Revolution.

It's one thing to know that a steam engine is possible. It's another to build steam engines at scale when you're starting from iron ore or perhaps recycled scrap metal, and the most sophisticated available practical skill - and exceptionally rare at that - is blacksmithing.

Bioluminescence Is Nature’s Love Light
Using HomeAssistant OS here, with the new energy dashboard. I used an ESP32 device running ESPHome to read the flashing LED on my meter and send energy use to HA. It reacts faster than the zigbee monitor that came with the meter to give me good real time usage and long term stats. The energy use over time allowed me to spot some areas where I could reduce consumption.
Well, nowadays Robot Framework Language Server (which I develop) does have autocomplete/semantic analysis/interactive console/debugger (which can debug Python and Robot Framework at the same time) and a bunch of other things, so, I guess things did improve a bit in the meanwhile...
A quick google tells me that as of 2021, the US had ~23GW of installed solar generating capacity, and Germany had ~59GW. As the US has roughly 4x the population of Germany, that means that Germany has roughly 12x the amount of installed solar capacity per capita.
I think part of it is to separate information to better know that a user was interested in a product and read the information further and perhaps it was price or purchasing conditions that turned them off.

When you advertise traditionally you don't get a lot of information back from consumers other than those who start or make a purchase. The more actions you put between discovery and purchase, the more you can refine parts of the process.

There are probably other psychological elements at play as well about gradually introducing information so you can strategically present the better aspects of something before you talk about say an ugly cost.
This was, for me, not an effective demo: when I tap “sign in with a passkey” it shows me a QR code to scan with another device. What? (I assume this is because I haven’t created an account yet, but if so, the demo needs to make that about ten times clearer.)

Which is entirely the point I was making - having anything based on GPA requires that the GPA have an agreed range, and a bunch of private universities in the US have decided to give students >4.0 GPAs - now if you see someone with a "4.5 GPA" you immediately know they're cooking the books, but a person can also have a 3.9 GPA with a bunch of bad grades countered by a few >4 grades.

My university's GPA was (IIRC) -2..9 or something where 9=A+, 8=A, 7=A-, etc but that wasn't used in any externally facing mechanism, because a GPA as a single score is not useful outside of the school administration. Single average GPAs aren't remotely robust enough to warrant any kind of external value, and they actively discourage any course experimentation because if you are wanting to do anything GPA gated you cannot risk anything that you don't already know you'll get a high grade in.
Assuming the map reflects the territory, obviously. Which is a rather huge assumption.
Clever. I wonder how the mechanical realization looks like, as I can't really wrap my head around it.

Malice is the conscious identification of that same pathway and the active exploitation of it for the harm of others. It’s a fairly high bar in terms of the behavior of others.

Functionally, though, your experiences may be very similar on the receiving end of incompetence vs malice.

edit: I want to append this to say: The purpose of the original phrase in my opinion was to encourage cooperation and communication as the solution. In a sufficiently structured corporate environment this solution may be impossible for reasons other than malicious behavior, in which case the statement is without practical value.

Thanks to remote attestation, the custom ROM scene for Android is pretty much dead now, because there's little point of customizing the OS when it automatically makes important services no longer accessible from the phone.
"Why you want to work here?"

A lot of people will write that once and then just copy paste everything over and over again. Some people believe that job searching is purely a numbers game and that 100 crappy applications is more likely to lead to a job than 5 well thought out ones. And for all I know they might even be right.

I think everyone where I live should probably be supplementing vitamin D in the winter months because it is damn near impossible for even people working outdoors all day to get enough vitamin D through natural sunlight at this parallel. Never would I dream of mandating a vitamin D regimen to people. My lack of wanting a vitamin D mandate, by your very argument, would make me anti vitamin D.

I take vitamin D daily, and have convinced others they probably should too, which I think makes me an advocate on some level. If even your top percentile advocates are "anti" from your operating definition, because they don't go far enough, you may be an extremist.

Conversely, after 27 years as a hiring manager, the vast majority of people I've hired didn't even send one. I think a good cover letter certainly can make a difference, if it helps highlight why you're a good fit for this specific role if it's not obvious from your CV, but I rarely send any myself, and not for any of the jobs I've actually gotten over the years.
In my point of view, this is the equivalent of being let out of prison arbitrarily. Then because it wasn't your decision you want back into prison.

It's a legal requirement for termination if you lied about anything it's not legally bound. Linkedin can never solve these problems because well, it's impossible to. As for the background checks, that's usually done because of agreements with other companies to not poach other employees without forewarning. Which technically isn't illegal unlike the stuff Apple and the others used to do.

> 6. My thought on why all these are so bad is because job application, listing site, social network ( LinkedIn ) all work for hiring companies, they are the ones who pay them. And not job seekers.

It is even worse: They work for HR departments in those companies, whose primary goal is 1) to produce automated reports and statistics about their “pipeline” so they seem important 2) have an auditable paper trail for legal risk, and a distant 3) hire people.

Ultimately, there are only 2 kinds of companies: owner/majority shareholder operated or manager/minority shareholder operated. Owner operated companies have far quicker and more painless procedures- so you can prioritize those. For manager-run companies, you need to find an inside human recruiter first, before applying.

This is more legwork, but it will ensure that 1) your application is not in vain, a human will take a look 2) none of the pre-calling references 3) might even let you talk to some teams informally.

Personally I only use QTweb with javascript disabled on Hacker News (and try to access the linked pages with it).

The good thing is that for many sites I don't get stupid "accept cookies" popups and/or paywalls and - as you say - navigation is much faster because so much less data is retrieved.

On many sites - even if the actual text is visualized correctly - dynamically loaded images are obviously missing, but often that is not even a bad thing.

Of course an increasingly number of sites simply don't show anything (blank page) or just the header and footer.

All in all it is not a bad method to sort of preview sites, in many cases you can see all that is relevant, and in many other cases from the little you can view you can decide if it is worth the hassle to access them with another browser with javascript enabled or skip them altohether.
Yup. E.g. on the MS Surface RT ARM devices it couldn't be, for instance.

AFAIK, rather than make the firmware unlockable, MS sent vast amounts of inventory to landfill.

Yeah, this is what you do, for example re-encode the image with Gray code (avoids the Hamming cliff), you split the bit-planes into 8x8 blocks, compute the entropy within them and encode the data for that block in such a way that it has same/very similar entropy, re-encode from Gray back into normal binary.

Clearly not
Two possibilities - 1 - we take actions that are preconscious and reactive, and add consistency in later post hoc explanations.

Or 2 - the conscious reflective self is more like a saccade of attention moving between various systems operating according to its overall supervision.

I think two makes much more sense, since we don't observe the actions of others to be random or inconsistent (in ordinary circumstances), no matter how quickly they're responding. If George is on edge, and we throw a ball at George, George will do what he generally does - flinch, react with anger etc. George won't catch the ball perfectly in contrast with his emotional state. If Sue sees a famous criminal on the street, Sue will generally react as Sue would be expected to based on her priors - scream, run, freeze etc. Sue is unlikely to smile and raise her hand for a shake. Circumstances where we and others deviate from the 'reasonable' instantaneous response are rare, comical and associated with inattention, distraction or visceral symptoms (like illness). Therefore either we presuppose another personality operating at a preconscious level - or we are queuing classes of responses that make sense on some general level, even if they occur too fast for linguistic reflection or 'conscious' perception.

The language example in the comment above is a great reflection of this. We are able to carry out coherent, situationally appropriate conversation including symbolic reasoning. So I'm not sure what kind of conditioned mechanism or second personality is supposed to be responsible if consciousness is eliminated.
When your scientists have to flee to become successful, is a pretty good sign it’s not going well.

Even interviewing out of school way back when, 4 or 5 interviews seemed pretty normal for all sorts of different roles whether or not there was a phone screen/on-campus interview. And, of course, this was all in-person so you're probably talking a couple days especially if you consider some modicum of research about the company. More recently, aside from a very small company, the few interviews I've had it's been a fairly standard 4 interviews or so panel after whatever initial contacts I had with people I knew.

That’s the problem with the governments.
Easy one. Apple pays a premium (to their suppliers) compared to what other non-luxury-hipster-feelgood companies can, thus buying up those (more or less) green capacities (which are scarce). Which leaves those other companies less of these green capacities. Which makes their production less green.

Don't get me wrong, it's totally ok they do that. But it shouldn't lead people to think, that since Apple/Tesla succeeds, humanity doesn't need to drastically change its way of doing things.

Sustainable ressources are scarce. One company stocks up on them -> others are pushed to less green sources or they have to reduce output (which they try to avoid obviously).

Yeah, sure, there's also positive effects such as economies of scale improving things with sustainable business when there's more demand for it. But, in my opinion, the mining and sourcing of raw materials and the supply of renewable energy is in a pretty inelastic situation right now because of physical constraints.
This inelasticity means: one players buys up more, others are pushed elsewhere.

Most job offers I have received weren’t from a timely response from a direct application, but from already being in a company’s recruiting database from previously applying.

In a normal cosed system (so no additional storage etc, but even then it's usually closed I think), cold water is fetched by the boiler to replenish the hot water which goes out when you're taking a shower. Small amount of time later the drain gets warmer, so it starts heating the copper tubes, through which the incoming water is flowing hence that gets warmer. And hence less work to do by the boiler.
Sure, I suppose. Supply and demand doesn't care as to what conditions establish the values of supply and demand. It is merely a hindsight observance what what conditions did occur.
