Yeah, really weird.

In the decision linked in the article, the court says that putting in your passcode is just muscle memory; you don’t have to dig deep into your mind for it.

It also said that phones are just containers and that a defendant has valid 4th amendment rights to challenge the scope of the search warrant. So I guess they are saying the just because you unlocked the phone doesn’t mean the police can do whatever they want with it.
Technically, isn't what Clarence did legal because the ethics rules weren't in place at the time?
Frankly, only fools believe in ethics anymore. There is only a personal cost to having them that causes you to lose time after time in life.

This is a reasonable nitpick, but I'm responding to someone who said "correlation does not imply causation", which pretty clearly communicates that they didn't even read the abstract.

Note that I said it can theoretically contribute to causation—I'm not saying the study came to the correct conclusion, just that people should actually follow the link rather than critiquing the study based on the title alone.

If I earn $100k somewhere in Eastern Europe, then deducting all taxes and recurring costs like health insurance, rent or mortgage, from what’s left I may be able to buy more MacBooks or trips to Korea than someone from San Francisco. It is misleading to compare just a few imported goods to make conclusions as well.
This mentality is why I'm nomadding despite the constant threats of Return to Office. (I'm at Google.)

I spent a dozen years in San Francisco. I know what serves me there and what doesn't. I know that I find day-to-day life there low-key depressing. I know my friends there have largely moved away and/or moved on to the next chapters of their lives. I know it's way too hard to find a suitable romantic partner there.

Kowtowing to the RTO whims would be relegating myself to another year that's probably a lot like the other ones, with the hard parts getting harder with every year lost.

Nearing-50, non-religious person checking in here: I don't think it has much to do with religion or non-religion. I must be really lucky or really privileged because I haven't had even a hint of "crisis" that I can remember. Knock on wood that I don't catch it somewhere.

Isn't the common denominator of a midlife crisis a yearning for the past? Overwhelming nostalgia? Dad buying a sports car so he can pretend to be 20 and virile again? Mom downing the mimosas at 10AM wishing she didn't make so many mistakes in the past? Uncle Joe can't stop talking about how he was High School senior football captain and had the time of his life in the '70s and that everything sucks now?

Me, on the other hand? I'd never want to go back to my 30s or 20s and especially my teenage years. High School was literally the worst part of my life, I'm talking rock bottom, and my 20s were not much better. But every year thereafter has been better than the previous one. I'm totally optimistic about the future! And while I might not be making more money year after year, I always feel like I have a purpose to achieve, and as my kid grows up, there always seems like there are future moments to look forward to. None of this requires religion.

I'm in my 40s and haven't had one, but I've also never really figured out what I want my life to be like. In truth the question was always more what do I want to do right now? What you want life to be like will continually change, and to me, it seems like those who don't accept that end up disappointed.

I'm currently in a transition period, seeing if changing course from my present occupation is possible. I did the same in my 20s and 30s without difficulty, though it gets harder as you age. If I can good, but if I can't, then it's still ok. Make the best of what's available and enjoy what you have.

Life is a long series of decisions and then you're dead. What you do doesn't really matter, even if the pressing weight of it right now says otherwise. Make life choices that won't pigeonhole you and be open to opportunities you may not expect.
Why do you assume you'll suffer from 70-80?
Not even an amateur economist, but intuitively, it feels like there is a very delicate balance needed in taxation. Higher taxation (likely Eurozone) is needed to support the poorer sections of the society. However too high, it kills innovation and growth and in turn the whole pie size. Too little taxation (likely US), pumps innovation and growth but destroys support for poor but also hinders investments in infrastructure needed for these innovations to thrive.

I'm not going to comment on the correct levels, as I have no clue, but one thing that feels certainly wrong is complexity of taxation. This gets exploited by a small percentage of people while leaves a large percentage afraid to venture.
You are welcome to produce a definition that separates those things.

You have seen my definition. By definition an act of self-expression cannot occur without a self.

Without clarifying what makes something art, your claim that art can be something produced without a self (i.e., is not self-expression) demotes art to the level of “any random thing”.
It's funny how the article entirely skips the possibility of traveling by train, which just shows how terrible the typical intercity transit option in Asia/Europe is entirely ignored due to the lack of infrastructure in the US. Amtrak is such a terrible experience most of the time with regular delays that it's almost never a good option for most travel.

For instance, the bus ticket from Boston to New York City is $30-40ish, while an Amtrak ticket is an insane $115, taking an hour longer. Why is Amtrak so expensive and slow here? IIRC the prevailing explanation is that freight/commercial trains have priority over commuter trains, which causes delays. Why is this a thing? Why is it so hard to create dedicated fast trains between major cities on the east coast, with this clear amount of demand?
Really? Even if everyone is just secretly wishing one of them gets hit in the head hard enough that they become the next Howard Hughes?

It was being a little cheeky. And if a massive burnout whose first month was having daily panic attacks and 3 years to recover is garden variety, I am afraid to know what a serious one entails ;)

Depression was part of the baggage I was carrying around all my life. It's hard to say, given the state of things, but perhaps depression is one thing I was lucky to shed during this phase.
> Maybe when he's older I'll have time for a midlife crisis.

If you're like me, yes. When I was 40, my daughter was 3, and I didn't have much time for worrying. Now both my kids are tweens and my direct day-to-day responsibilities as a parent have declined so much that I have plenty of time for a proper midlife crisis. It sucks more than I ever imagined, though I'm working through it and feeling a little better about the future.

> I don’t want my wife to have to “check in” when she wants to buy something

One does not necessitate the other.
Only newbies tend to complain about `err != nil` in my experience. After a certain point it just clicks and they get used to it. There's a cadence to Go code (do the thing, check the error, do the thing, check the error) that is easy to read once you're used to it, but looks horribly verbose when you're coming from an exceptions-based language.

Go has simplicity as a design goal. Part of that simplicity is not adding all the features we can think of to the language. Just because it would provide slightly leaner syntax for a relatively small group of use cases isn't a good reason to add new language features (imho, from my 10+ years using Go and watching it evolve).

If we can implement this using current language features, but it's complex and messy to implement, then it's a great case for a new library, possibly even inclusion in the standard library. If we can't implement this at all using current language features, then maybe it's a case for a new language feature to enable this. If we can implement it relatively cleanly using current language features, then we're good and don't need to do anything. This seems like a "can implement, but not very cleanly" case, which would be a great justification for a library, but not a language feature. Again, imho.
>I don't care what content you're looking at. I care who are you. Specifically, I care whether you're a person who owns a dog and spends money on high-quality/luxury dog goods. Whether you're looking at something related to dogs or a post by someone in your family about a wedding last weekend doesn't matter.

I think you have it backwards. You don't care who someone is. Rather, you care about "people most likely to buy my product," and much, much more about people who actually buy your product. Their name, family history, life story and other information is irrelevant.

Having the money to pay and the will to buy are the only important things.

As such, which was alluded to by others, instead of spying on/tracking people to hazard a guess (perhaps even a good guess, but not necessarily) what they're likely to purchase, let's just ask them up front to list the things they are interested in, with the ability to modify such a list whenever they like.

And make that list opt-in, of course.

Then use the database of those lists to target ads. People see ads for stuff they're interested in, those who aren't interested don't see them. Which is a win-win for consumers and advertisers. Consumers only see relevant ads and advertisers know their ad impressions are among folks who are actually interested.

Sure, there are lots of reasons to argue against a voluntary database like that, not least of which ad-supported sites would suffer.

But if you (like me) don't earn a living via ad-tech, even such a flawed idea seems like paradise compared to the current levels of spying/tracking which would make a Stasi[0] wet dream look decidedly soft-core.

"mid-life" is such a varied but also changing term.

Many many moons ago said mid life crisis was when the kids were starting to get older, 16-ish or older even. Mid life crisis meant you suddenly had more time on your hands than you remembered what to do with.

Now mid life crisis is a couple of years into having kids more often than not it seems. That seems like a way different situation. On the one side you have kids that want to do their thing anyway and on the other you have a totally dependent on you and the family toddler.

Sim City's sort of on the correct solution track here.

The REAL solution is going to look way more like Azimov's Caves of Steel style city.

* High speed people mover beltway / sidewalks
* No cost access to this transit
* A Theme Park like utility corridor system

Plus high speed (freeway like) bypass routes around / through the city which can exit into mega parking structures (much cheaper at large scale than wastefully cramming into a normal building's footprint) as external interface buffers between 'car land' / intercity transit, and 'pedestrian land' / intracity movement.
I get that this is true in principle, but the fact is that Americans have significantly more children per-capita than Germans, and this is at least in part driven by economic limitations (including housing).

"Another anonymous coward registering a throwaway to make baseless claims" isn't "stating facts and citing sources". It's just garden-variety internet attack/flamewar (ditto for "you have mock outrage", "projecting much?", "keep up the baseless drivel and assumption", and so on).

That sort of thing is not allowed here and we ban accounts that do it, so please don't do it again. You can state facts and cite sources while remaining thoughtful and respectful, so please do that instead.

Heroin dealers usually don't take credit or debit, so the uptake will probably be small.

Yeah, sorry for any confusion. I'm only comparing buying over the internet to buying over telephone. The latter I just don't understand at all, except for the one commenter's claim that you might be able to negotiate a better deal if you know exactly what you want.

Buying in-person is the best usually, as long as the price is the same, and the item isn't something difficult to take home with you.
Depends on the product. Doing anything targeted to an industry that has “insider” culture? Maybe find a co-founder who is already an insider in that industry. Same goes for highly regulated areas— a co founder who already knows all the ins and outs of those regulations and how to navigate them smoothly could be a huge benefit.

So that may address the broader question, but I don’t know if it will help your particular situation.
The latter only works if people are buying even more of what you are selling with that currency. The US continued to supply stability in its society and courts, access to resources via its military, and most importantly, organizations (like tech companies) that pump out very nice cash flows.

Given than you need to have a credit score, money, and an address, to have a bank account, I wouldn't be so sure. Not a useful one, anyway. If the account is overdrawn and they're threatening to close your account, do you really have an account? America's unbanked is estimated at 4.5 percent across all of the US, but I'm willing to bet the majority of them also have housing issues and thus the homeless are a large percentage of the unbanked.

It still costs money to have a bank account in the first place, with a few exceptions. For those that don't have much money in the first place, cash is prefereable to paying a monthly $4.95 fee.

Giving someone a physical object is easy, whether it's a phone or cash. Giving them a bank account is a lot harder.
