Very true. But the point the OP is making is that your entire fate is in the hands of a CBP officer and they are a very, very mixed bunch.

I repeat OP's advice to avoid a land crossing, I'm not sure exactly what it is but I suspect partly that land crossings have much less time pressure. I've had my car pulled over and partly taken apart looking for "anything suspicious". We were two men in our mid twenties and I think the agents were just bored, honestly.
The UK's ministry of justice has rolled out phones to quite a few prisons now and they have had an amazing impact, despite the opprobrium of idiot newspaper editors.

It is thought that this cuts recidivism by 40% and allows people to stay in touch with family. The number is good, but it is worth considering one of the less often articulated points about the system: it punishes families, too. Take away a breadwinner, an extra pair of parental hands (however active), and put a father at a distance from their kids, and what do you get? A lonely partner who can't share domestic work. Kids with only one adult to relate to, where that adult now carries responsibilities that were previously shared.

In other words, prisons incarcerate individuals but punish families. Phones in prisons lessen the blow somewhat, and it is little surprise that even this very small line of contact keeps people in touch with people they care about, instead of leaving them adrift and vulnerable to mixing with the wrong sorts on release.

Really, they ought to be abolished. Other forms of punishment and rehabilitation exist. Restorative justice exists. It would be better that we used it.

(I'm gendering the above in the way I am because in the UK, as in many other places, ten men are in prison for every one woman, give or take)

I'm a graybeard too (with a security background), and I got over this. The problem started when companies combined forced updating with no longer issuing security updates separately from other updates.

If it were just security updates, I wouldn't mind automatic installations. But feature updates are too disruptive. So I avoid automatic updates where I possibly can.

I accept that there's a security risk associated with doing this, but for me, it's a risk that's worth taking.
It's been possible to install ad blockers for the browser on iPhones for years, without resorting to a VPN. I don't bother anymore because I'm usually at home and have a pihole anyway, but I used to use Firefox Focus—not as my browser, but to provide ad-blocking for Safari. Worked fine. Open it once to set it up (at least IIRC that was necessary—I don't remember, but there was some very-simple setup step I'm pretty sure) then never open it again. Ads blocked in Safari. Tons of other options, free and paid.

You do need a VPN (or otherwise something network-level) to block ads in apps, I think. That's a fair point.

I run a Mastodon server. It respects the 1st amendment: I say anything I want there, and you can go make your own server if you want to say something different.

I have a friend with an autistic kid. The kid is 3 can't talk and doesn't respond to facial expressions, along with a long list of specific easily recognizable common behaviours.
The idea that these common traits would have not been diagnosed by previous generation of educators is wishful thinking at best.

Key signs of autism in children include:

1. Social communication difficulties: Lack of or limited eye contact
Difficulty understanding and using nonverbal communication (e.g., gestures, facial expressions)
Trouble with understanding and using gestures, body language, and facial expressions
Difficulty developing and maintaining age-appropriate relationships with peers
Challenges with sharing interests or enjoyment with others
Repetitive behaviors and restricted interests:

2. Engaging in repetitive movements (e.g., hand-flapping, rocking, spinning objects)
Insistence on sameness and routines; becoming distressed by changes in routines
Intense focus on specific interests or topics, often to the exclusion of others
Communication difficulties:

3. Delayed speech development or difficulty in acquiring language skills
Unusual patterns of speech, such as echolalia (repeating words or phrases out of context)
Difficulty initiating or sustaining conversations
Challenges in understanding and using language pragmatically (e.g., taking turns, using appropriate tone of voice)
Sensory sensitivities:

4. Heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli, such as noise, lights, textures, or smells
Seeking or avoiding certain sensory experiences (e.g., seeking deep pressure, avoiding crowded places)

5.Unusual play and behavior:

Engaging in repetitive and imaginative play that lacks social aspects
Using toys in unusual ways or showing little interest in toys altogether
Engaging in self-stimulatory behaviors (stimming) to self-regulate or express emotions"
I think the difference is that PAT allows ad blockers but WEI won't.
I feel like they dropped the ball on content.

Most complaints I've read is that thread's content is just boring.

Most instagram influencers are visually oriented and don't translate well to textual thread.

If they would have been able to get that right from the start, they could have kept a lot more. Either through collabrations, or pushed influencers who get engangement on long text posts.

If you're offering a service you damn-well ought to know and fix it or it's not fit for purpose. QED.

Read my caveat in respect of the above in my other post—re state of the art, employees bona fides etc. There is no logical difference between the rules for cyber security and any other industry. For instance, the Boeing 737 Max fuck-up was because of corporate greed and negligence. For some reason the software industry seems to assume a God-given right to be exempted.

It's about time that changed.

(If the software industry wants to be considered an engineering profession and treated as such then it has to obey standards as set by law and regulation like every other engineering profession on the planet.)
From a sim card set of instructions that I was working with today:

You sometimes can perform an invalidation, but it's a manual process and you need to know who to ask. Slack did this when they botched their DNSSEC rollout[1]:

DNSSEC is another part of DNS that is still hard to learn.

I think it is crazy to price software that way. Do you also price airline tickets, car purchase etc that way?
To add —

You can do delegated zones by specifying NS records for a subdomain within the parent zone. If you’re talking about NS for a second level domain (“example” in example.com) you would want glue records which are essentially a “lookaside” to prevent circular dependencies. Glue records are really just A records with clout, returned with the IP of your name server. This glue is maintained by the higher level authoritative zone. So you query for example.org and the nameserver for .org returns ns1.example.org as the name server for your zone, as well as the IP address for that server.

This is why you could run a DNS server at ns1.example.org as your authoritative DNS.
A 50% graduation rate for US secondary education had been attained by the 1947-48 school year, which is now 75 years ago. By 50 years ago (1972-73), the actual rate was 75%, among 17 year olds. (Note that some normal-schedule students would be graduating at age 18, and other statistics look at graduation or G.E.D. equivalent at later ages, e.g., 19 or 20.)

That said, yes, there was a dramatic increase in attendance and graduation from ~1900, when the graduation rate was about 6%.

As someone who has carried a pocket knife for most of my life, I very rarely think of the knife as a weapon. When I was younger, me and my friends would throw knives at trees. Sometimes we would throw hatchets at trees. It's fun and very satisfying to finally stick the knife/hatchet.

Violence was never in my thoughts.
> >>lack of OEM support

> what does this even mean in this context?

The OEM doesn't have a store in the mall that will help an elderly family member with it. The OEM stops publishing updates after the phone leaves the shelf. etc.

> Most of the other vendors, the few there are, run close to stock Andriod these days.

Which is a gigantic pain in the butt when you're trying to talk your mother through the settings menu over the phone to change one setting, and the OEM decided that was the one feature they wanted to move/rename/omit/customize.

That's the thing, it shouldn't take someone like me to use a phone. Phones are mass market devices that children, elderly, disabled, and uneducated people use.

I have this loose hypothesis that stacking a lot of crooked timber builds something that you could almost call straight. But it takes time and it may not be stable.

'Still'? There's a famous talk[1] in the network community about how DNS complexity is growing so fast that effectively nobody can keep up with it. There's so many competing, overlapping, and overriding RFCs that it's hard to make sense of it anymore.

I'd argue that Google wouldn't keep gaslighting users about how it's fixed the update issue "for sure this year" if they didn't know that users care about updates.
Tesla's range is quite accurate, in my experience. The top number gives you a relatively accurate range in good conditions -- aka city driving in the summer. And then if you punch in your destination it'll tell you within a single percent of what your battery will be at your destination.
Sure, not many companies compare to Visa/Mastercard valuation. Kinda meaningless comparison.

>Google of a decade ago had launched Orkut, Friendster, Wayze, Reader, and YouTube. Several of those were modest hits, one remains a giant (YT), and one is much missed by its small but quite significant fan base (Reader).

Google didn't "launch" youtube. They purchased it. It was big before they purchased it. Regarding Reader, calling something "small but quite significant" is nonsensical. Additionally you're propping up a failed application which wasn't even a social network as a success.

As I said, your comparisons included far too much conflation of several varieties for me to take them seriously.

I should add my personal opinion, too. FPGAs and comp arch can be fun, but are largely academic, IMO. Unless it's your _thing_, it just provides you with lots of background knowledge when writing OS and systems level code. Messing around at the systems/OS/embedded level will be more fulfilling and scratch the same itches.

Not necessarily. There's no restriction on getting married in the U.S. The restriction is entering the U.S. as a visitor with the intent of getting married AND applying for a green card. But if this intent arises after entry, there are no issues, period. Regarding these facts, your friend still should be able to travel to the U.S. Your friend should just be prepared to explain what they did while here and why they stayed as long as they and what they are coming to do now. At the end, it boils down to credibility and the truth. There's absolutely no legal reason here why your friend shouldn't be allowed in again.
Not really. They are bringing features out on all of their platforms at the same time, now, so where is more feature constancy. Some iOS UI treatments have been brought to MacOS and some MacOS UI elements have been brought to iPadOS. But MacOS is not getting locked down the way that a phone is.

I see what you mean now, thanks. Strongly agree with the general point around delegation to private companies (eg on surveillance).

Personally I think you can make a case for justifying some curtailment of speech during an emergency (specifically sharing outright false or extremely misleading claims, say “young people are immune to Covid”) but again, agreed it should be done through a framework that is legislated and that the courts can challenge/check rather than unofficial channels.

I do think there is some grey area though - if the government is also providing coordination (eg CDC) then it’s not crazy to have a direct channel to the major news/social publishers to coordinate messaging in an emergency. And when they are just providing coordination it’s not necessarily censorship (since the companies would be free to do otherwise). Vs if they are buying license plate data for example, they are clearly actually indirectly doing the thing that they’re forbidden from doing directly.

I work on one of these PPLs, and I personally find Bayesian inference to be useful in a few cases:

1. When your main objective is not prediction but understanding the effect of some underlying / unobserved random variable.

2. When you don't have tons data + you have very clear ideas of the data generation process.

(1) is mainly relevant for science rather than private companies, e.g. if you're an epidemiologist, you're generally speaking interested in determining the effect of certain underlying factors, e.g. effect of mobility patterns, rather than just predicting the number of infected people tomorrow since the hidden variables are often someting you can directly control, e.g. impose travel restrictions.

(2) can occur either in academic settings or in private sector in applications such as revenue optimization. In these scenarios, it's also very useful to have a notion of the "risk" you're taking by optimizing according to this model. Such a notion of risk is in the Bayesian framework completely straight-forward, while less so in the frequentist scenarios.

I've been involved in the above scenarios and have seen clear advantages of using Bayesian inference, both in academia and private sector.

With that being said, I don't think ever Bayesian inference, and thus even less so PPLs, are going to "take off" in a similar fashion to many other machine learning techniques. The reason for this are fairly simple:

1. It's difficult. Applying these techniques efficiently and correctly is way more difficult than standard frequentist methods (even interpeting the results is often non-trivial).

2. The applicability of Bayesian inference (and thus PPLs) is just so much more limited due to the computational complexity + reduction in utility of the methods as data increases (which, for private companies, is more and more the case).

PPLs mainly try to address (1), and we do have examples of very successful examples of this, e.g. PyMC3 (they also have a bunch of nice examples of applying Bayesian inference in private sector context), and Stan (maybe more heavily used in academia).
That'd shift the cost of the prison system on to billionaires and conservatives..

Right, and the closest thing I can recall to a counter-culture here is occasionally seeing the suggestion that software engineers should unionize.

You don't, however, mention which Android phones they switched from.

Android obviously has a huge variety of different phone manufacturers, and many of them really suck, and many more are just mediocre. I think it would be harder to argue that iPhones are now (or in the past 5 years or so) significantly better than a Samsung or Pixel flagship.

I personally own a Pixel and my spouse owns an iPhone, and besides the familiarity there are many features I love more about my phone (particularly the call screening and other call automation features). The biggest downside, which may unfortunately actually cause me to have to switch to an iPhone at some point, is Apple's monopolistic behavior with iMessage: I'm often the "odd man out" in group chats and the presence of my Android breaks the experience for me and all the other iPhone users in the group (video quality is in the toilet, messages can randomly get dropped, emoji reactions suck, etc.)

Specifically, there is this tendency to briefly discuss some new social issue, but then filling the rest of the article with discussion of the current political situation.
