> In the service industry, and especially amongst young people, it's common to pick up a job like this for a few months and make some money, then move on to something else.

By making that assertion you're absolving yourself of responsibility and shifting the retention issue entirely to the employee. You're completely dismissing the possibility that your retention issue is due to a customer culture you fostered or created, a poor work environment due to a manager or toxic employee, the demands of the job vs compensation, or any other factor.

> Ultimately, money is a motivator and pretending like it's not does not make tipping go away.

Money is a motivator but not necessarily for the right reasons and it has diminishing returns. Tipping culture has evolved from a mechanism for customers to thank staff into a means for staff to make up for insufficient wages. They're effectively panhandlers.

If an employee relies upon a tip to makeup for wages, they aren't paid enough and are being exploited and abused.

Today, not tipping is a punitive measure that allows customers to diminish an employee or staff's wage at the customer's discretion and without any insight or feedback provided to the employer. People feel compelled to tip because they thing employees aren't paid enough, not because service was above expectations.

It definitely comes straight out of sci-fi at least. In the original Deus Ex, I think when you first break into the Versalife offices in Hong Kong, you can overhear an employee talking about their universal constructors (basically 3d printers that work at the atomic level). The employee mentions one of his friends created Conway's Game of Life with buckyballs.

Edit: nevermind it's a Versalife employee at a nearby bar/club, not in the offices themselves.

Same goes for French, seems like it's mostly doing word-per-word translation.

> Quelque chose de peu parlé dans les médias à propos de ChatGPT est qu'il est multilingue.

Quelque chose => Something

de peu => little

parlé => spoken

dans les médias => in the news

à propos => about

est qu'il est => is that it is

It's not necessarily "bad" but it reads like something someone who speaks English as a first language and learned some French would write.
It's an incredibly striking piece of technology and really shows which way the future winds will likely be blowing. A particular exchange I had with it left a mark on me, in which I requested it to behave like a used car salesman attempting to close a deal with a hungry customer. It proceeded to repurpose idioms, make dad-jokes and sling double entendres about the shared joy of cars and hamburgers and how they both are simple, dependable and iconic in my way of life. I sat there for a minute reading over it, nearly in disbelief.

I can accept a system such as ChatGPT synthesizing from data it sucked in, making educated guesses and so on. But to see it do such lingustic gymnastics with a very non-concrete request was humbling. It's given me a lot of pause about the way I absorb digital information and the varying degrees to which I have implicitly assumed the reliability of that information; site A slightly more trustworthy than site B, et cetera. To me, that old trust heuristic I relied on, one I have honed thanks to unfettered broadband for two decades, is now completely upended. It probably has been for some time to be fair, but my time with ChatGPT really cemented that feeling.

Every freshly written statement that comes to me through an internet connected device now gets a side-eye by default.
Agreed. If anything, word 'content' captured a broader array of work output in the mind of general public than work, which conjures up a lot of things, but rarely artistic endeavors. I do dislike using it as a part of describing my own habits, but it would appear that ship has sailed. In both my tech and non-tech circle, stuff they do is content consumption. I am not sure when it became so prevalent.
Maybe a little off the topic, but I was thinking just the other day that Alexa/Google Home/Siri could be made significantly better if it accepted instructions the way ChatGPT does.
My own payment going way up. There are no full-term fixed rate mortgages where I live - I can get it fixed for 3-7 years (and 7 gets me much worse interest rate).
Does this distinguish between any QM interpretations that we previously couldn’t rule out?
Yeah, this sounds 100% like "working as intended". Even if they aren't stolen, this prevents people who've gotten their hands on these laptops for free/cheap (recycling) don't also get their hands on an unassuming user's data. I'd rather that my data is protected than someone make a quick buck from my refuse (or worse, by stealing from me).

For legitimate transactions or ones where the data liabilities are fully disclosed, you can obviously get around this easily.

That was an at the time modern “Zen 3” (using Zen 2 cores) system on an X570 chipset. The CPU mostly goes in 1L ultra SFF systems. TDP is 35W, and under stress testing the CPU tops out around around 38.8-39W. The onboard BMC is about 3.2-3.3W of power consumption itself.

Most data ingest and reads comes from the SSD cache, with that being more around 60W for high throughput. Under very high loads (saturating the 40Gbps link) with all disks going, only hits about 110-120W.

By comparison, a 6-bay Synology was over double that idle power consumption, and couldn’t come close to that throughput.

That’s exactly the point. If you properly wipe it, it’ll get the activation lock removed. Either resellers are doing things wrong, or these devices are being stolen and offloaded cheap. This isn’t exactly a new problem either, it was a problem with enterprise windows devices and locked bootloaders too, this is just harder/“impossible” to bypass.

It's even worse now, no company truly locks you out and with enough noise on social media a real human can get you your access back even if you don't have your Yubikey. So it's always vulnerable to social engineering.

Of course I'm not talking about just relying on SIM. Maybe we can stop with the knee-jerk reaction and actually think of how to add better ways to do it. Government IDs could enter as some piece of the puzzle, trusted contacts, yeah, even SIM... At the very least out here in the real world I have some recourse if my ID is stolen, and I don't have to worry about having to buy all my stuff back because I lost my keys.

As I understand it, Keybase actually has a very interesting concept of spreading key materials over your social media. So it's not even unprecedented.
I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
For me quitting smoking was much easier than certain other things that I haven’t been able to quit yet (eg social media and sugar). Smoking I just decided to stop one day and that was it.

So it probably varies a lot based on the person.

”What does Kryon mean?”

”The correct question would be: Who is Kryon?

It's a problem for QM because it establishes an obvious tension with relativity that can't be ignored.

The reason this has more relevance for Bohmian mechanics is because that interpretation makes the non-locality explicitly manifest in the core ontology, where other interpretations try to eliminate the non-locality via other means, eg. Copenhagen eliminates counterfactual definiteness, many worlds eliminates collapse, etc.

Edit: This means Bohmian mechanics has an unresolved tension with relativity, which is why it hasn't yet been extended to a field theory.
I think you misremember. The cause of the fire on Air Canada flight 797 was never conclusively determined; a cigarette could not be completely ruled out, but was deemed very unlikely.

Smoking culture was a contributing cause since it made fires in trash bins so common that the pilots didn't react with urgency to a fire that looked like that (but in that case was definitely not).

Having smoke alarms was absolutely the correct response, because smoking is by no means the only cause of fires on airplanes. In fact, I'm not even sure there has been a single fatal crash involving fire that has been definitely caused by smoking, but there are many that are known to have been caused by other things, such as Nigeria Airways Flight 2120, Swissair flight 111, ValuJet flight 592 and China Airlines Flight 120.

Summary: The working poor - who currently pay pretty-minimal Federal income taxes, and spend ~100% of their income every year just to stay alive - would face a new 30% tax. The really rich - who currently pay lots of Federal income taxes, and don't need to spend a large % of their income - would enjoy a huge tax cut.
I don't think this is very practical. It would cause too many communication issues in the agile process.
I think the trick there is that you reset it before selling it.

In my experience dealing with iphones from departed staff, if the iphone is locked to an icloud account there's essentially nothing you can do to get access to it. If you do a DFU restore of the firmware it still comes up with an activation lock. Pretty sure that's what this article is describing for the new apple silicon laptops.
As a laptop owner, this actually sounds pretty good, because it heavily dis-incentivizes theft. However, as a laptop buyer, it's hard not to feel like Apple's security posture is conveniently aligned with their market interests.

In the past I used reveal.js with its Markdown plugin to create slides for presentations. While that worked somewhat it always felt like working against reveal.js. Also their default of editing the index.html and other files in the source code felt really odd and I never managed to get good looking PDFs out of it (and I tried a lot).

Then I stumbled over Marp and it's been great. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect, but for my use cases it's much better than using reveal.js with Markdown, as it just gets out of the way. Write your Markdown, maybe sprinkle in a bit of CSS and that's it. Wanna generate standalone HTML pages or a PDF out of it? Just run one command and get beautiful looking results.
1) Shouldn't companies and schools be unlocking/wiping these before donating? Is there any reason that won't work 99% of the time?

2) If Apple had a back door to unlock these, then is there a security/crime risk that could be abused by thieves, spies, hackers, etc.?

3) Even if locked, can't these be sold for parts? Lots of people need a replacement screen or whatever.

I don't have the answers to any of these questions, but the article doesn't even attempt to ask them.
Protecting data is perfectly possible without bricking the machine. Just wiping the encryption key as part of a full reset is enough for that.

And that's fine. But if you (or perhaps your employer) locked the machine, and it's stolen, it can't be used by the thief.

Google already does this. G-suite is a Trojan horse for their browser, which is a Trojan horse for their advertising engine.

The way it seems to me, for this case, is that those two "anti-"s cancel out and leave you with direct competition?
"I don't understand why Germany is incapable of implementing such an easy solution."

The main problem in Germany is that banks "for the masses" (oversimplified) are "state owned" or cooperatives. Both are organized on a city level. Both are notorious for not cooperating. Plus the state owned banks usually have politicians at the top (E.g. the major of the city the bank is in).

For a system that works across Germany you would need a high level of cooperation.

In the 90s when I was a Sparkasse ("state owned") customer studying in Baden Wurttemberg but having my Bank in Bavaria, I needed to go to Bavaria to get money and account statements every time, the Sparkasse in Baden Wurttemberg would not cooperate with the one in Bavaria.

Not sure, it might be an outcome of federalism which is (was) a way to prevent the 4th Reich.

This applies to Macs that are stolen / sold without resetting, just to be clear. The ones which are reset can be used again just fine.

The article claims that the issue is schools and businesses jettisoning these devices in bulk and not wanting to go to the effort of resetting them properly.

It seems dubious to me. Shouldn’t the reseller withhold payment until the device is verified to be usable? And shouldn’t schools and businesses be incentivized to reset the devices since they want the full resale value?
I tried getting it to generate a Red-Black tree in Java but it cuts off half way through.

I suppose you could divide and conquer with smaller parts of the algorithm, but then we'd need a "meta AI" that can keep track of all those parts and integrate them into a whole. I'm sure it's possible, don't know if it's available as a solution yet.

I think it'd be worth reading how you got your Linux machine to behave itself though. Any time I've tried to run Linux on a laptop (even a supposedly well-supported Dell laptop) it's been a buggy mess.

Then again, Windows was even worse. It was constantly waking itself up in a cramped bag, where it would try to forcibly install updates, overheat, drain the entire battery, then shut down and need to charge for 30 minutes just to light up at all. At which point it would boot into the recovery menu since it botched an update and needed to try again.

WAI. Reduces “second market” value of stolen devices. This is good news.
I quit drinking and smoking. Of those drinking was probably harder but neither was very hard for me.

The key is to avoid situations that trigger your addiction. Don’t buy any of the products. Don’t hang around people that use them. Don’t go to places where people use them. And so on. This might mean you need to get new friends. It’s unfortunately the way it is.

That’s why it’s harder to quit more ubiquitous things (like eating sugar). And it probably varies from person to person
When you're a growth company, you innovate around issues. When you're a mega corp (like any FAANG) you buy someone who already did that. When AI becomes an issue, Google can just buy it out. The same applies to 1001 other imminent, world changing, breakthroughs (remember last year when we were all about to get quantum computers? Or everything was going onto the blockchain?). When you're small you are nimble, when you're big you just sort of steam-roller along.

As far as I can tell, this is just the corporate lifecycle. Congrats to Google on reaching middle age.
I actually support this - the amount of material involved isn't trivial but is largely aluminum. I think the positives of deterring thieves / illegal resellers far exceeds the environmental impact. A better approach in my opinion is Apple licensing certain resellers to allow a reset with some kind of proof of purchase. This kind of provenance is already coming to eBay and tbh this is another key area of right to repair in which I disagree with Louis Rossman.

A developer getting paid because an investor misunderstands a technology isn’t anything we need to get too worried about, I think. It seems to be a big part of our industry, and I don’t know if that’s ever going to change. I sometimes think of all the crapware dApps that got shoveled out in the last boom - little of meaning was created from a technical standpoint, but smart people got to do what they love to put bread on the table.

Perhaps I’m being overly simplistic, but I don’t see it as all that different from contractors getting paid to do silly and tasteless renos on McMansions. Objectively a bad way to reinvest one’s money, but it’s a wealth transfer in the direction I prefer, so I’ll hold my judgement.
I thought it was the other way around. The economy slows which means earnings slip and then that causes people to dump the stock. This is why earnings calls are the trigger- it's when the data is officially reported to the public.
On the other hand makes theft of Macbooks unprofitable. Which I am super happy about. I want all my devices to be worth scrap if they are ever stolen.

And I am even happy as a second hand laptop buyer. The last thing I need is to buy a stolen laptop. At least here, I am still liable even if I don't know for a fact that it is stolen. In any case I don't want any part in stolen goods market.

I think, over time, laptop owners will learn to preserve their key so that they can unlock the laptop when they want to resell it and buyers will learn to check if the laptop is unlocked. What's the problem?
With Marp, I use a PowerShell function I call marp-template[0] (I use PowerShell Core on Linux and MacOS) to create a markdown file to serve as a starting template for me.

Your third point sounds like the most reasonable use of these machines. I assume that's what the recycling companies are doing but it wasn't explicitly stated in the article.
But as a owner it's also in my interest that a stolen device cannot be used.
