This changed through television and an intensive effort in schools to standardize spoken English, including speech therapy for people that had accents too far outside the prescribed American access. Even people learning English as another language often undergo accent remediation lessons (my wife is from Thailand and had to take accent improvement lessons as part of her TOEFL and ESL studies). Growing up the variation was extreme - there was a “middle” dialect that span the Midwest and western, but the north east, south, and various regions like the dakotas and others had very distinct dialects that were often unintelligible. This also ignores Ebonics, or urban black dialects, as well as other sub dialects.

As others point out TV and Hollywood also played a huge influencing factor here, but TV and Hollywood also existed before the convergence of dialect happened and were just as if not more important. It really came to a head in the 1980’s through 1990’s with the mandatory educational standardization of language and dialect, partly exemplified by no child left behind and related standardization efforts.

But I think culturally there are hundreds of cultures in the US, not just by region, but my demographics within a region. Black culture in Atlanta is very different than black culture in rural Georgia, is very different than Vietnamese American culture in Atlanta, etc. People from Europe are always looking at their monoculture and it’s internal variance and looking for a similar single dimensional variation. But America is culturally extraordinarily varied along many dimensions owing to its enormous communities of minorities from every other culture on earth, adapted over generations into something unique in the world to that geography plus ethnicity plus other dimensions. I’d almost say it’s so varied that it’s easy to overlook and just focus on the Generica experience presented by mass retailers and franchises.
> Kids can easily identify hypocrisy. A parent can’t tell their child to not get addicted to a smartphone if the parent himself is addicted to a smartphone.

You can’t tell people “don’t get addicted to X” (I mean, you can tell them anything, but telling people not to get addicted isn’t an effective measure to prevent addiction, generally, and hypocrisy isn’t the main reason.)
> Running anything Google hasn't approved is gated behind "developer mode", and even for a developer the pseudo-Debian container "developer mode" unlocks is confusing.

This is mixed up. "Developer mode" is a firmware mode that allows you to run unsigned images. You use that if you want to hack your ChromeOS image itself. The Linux development environment feature (crostini) runs in a VM on any chromebook, it doesn't require developer mode or any firmware features. Technologically it's basically the same thing as WSL, though integrated much better with the OS UI.
That can’t be pleasant for the cat…

Where are they going? The US is famously hard to get into for foreigners wanting to work, as is Australia really. Are they working in the EU, or nomading?
This is what I was recalling, this method gives you a clever way to do it using the file itself as the key:

> “Convergent encryption solves this problem in a very clever way:

“The way to make sure that every unique user with the same file ends up with an encrypted version of that file that is also identical is to ensure they use the same key.
However, you can’t share keys between users, because that defeats the entire point; you need a common reference point between users that is unknown to anyone but those users.

“The answer is to use the file itself: the system creates a hash of the file’s content, and that hash (a long string of characters derived from a known algorithm) is the key that is used to encrypt said file.

“If every iCloud user uses this technique — and given that Apple implements the system, they do — then every iCloud user with the same file will produce the same encrypted file, given that they are using the same key (which is derived from the file itself); that means that Apple only needs to store one version of that file even as it makes said file available to everyone who “uploaded” it (in truth, because iCloud integration goes down to the device, the file is probably never actually uploaded at all — Apple just includes a reference to the file that already exists on its servers, thus saving a huge amount of money on both storage costs and bandwidth).

“There is one huge flaw in convergent encryption, however, called “confirmation of file”: if you know the original file you by definition can identify the encrypted version of that file (because the key is derived from the file itself). When it comes to CSAM, though, this flaw is a feature: because Apple uses convergent encryption for its end-to-end encryption it can by definition do server-side scanning of files and exploit the “confirmation of file” flaw to confirm if CSAM exists, and, by extension, who “uploaded” it. Apple’s extremely low rates of CSAM reporting suggest that the company is not currently pursuing this approach, but it is the most obvious way to scan for CSAM given it has abandoned its on-device plan.”

Let's recall your original comment. You said we can't talk about reality correspondence of math because multiple logical systems can describe physical space equally well.

A triangle in a euclidean system is not the same shape as a triangle in spherical, etc. They are only equivalent in that they have an analogous logical definition in their separate systems.

They don't look the same. They don't describe the same physical phenonoma either. In other words, the physical correspondence is not the same, so there is no contradiction.
We were sitting at the table, I was responding a work message on the phone. My son took a phone from my hands and put it aside, because I wasn’t paying attention. It happened more than once, during non-work hours and there was no urgency to respond tbh. Then when I had to take an ipad with cartoons he was watching away, I felt how hypocritical it was. I actually was glad he threw a tantrum, because had he been a little older and called out my hypocrisy, it would corner me.

I am currently a software engineering manager but I have over 15 years of experience building software in many domains, from game development to defense simulation to oil and gas to medical devices. I am looking for a small team to lead building something exciting with new problems to solve, but am also happy building things to requirements. Let's talk!
Have you ever been to France or Germany? That’s obviously and clearly very not true.
Greatest problem of space travel is that we wouldn't get the pleasure to experience the whole journey no matter our velocity.

We try to come up with neat ideas, sadly this is not one we will achieve. We can send robots this way.

Are "topic icebergs" really a meme? Sure, they're an internet phenomenon, but that doesn't automatically qualify as a meme.
I feel this neatly captures the overarching corporate philosophies and attitudes of Apple and Google in a single example.

Pick your favourite other example of when Apple and Google have faced roughly the same problem as each other, and hold up their respective solutions next to those in the example of CSAM scanning above. I bet they'll look similar.

Rust is great, but "rewrite it in Rust" is a tired and unrealistic refrain. Aside from performance concerns, an emulation layer defeats the validations that Theseus incorporates as an intralingual codebase. It'll be like a mix of a microkernel and a monolithic kernel; drivers, file system managers, and whatnot can stay in the OS, but there'll have to be heavyweight userspace processes all the same. Theseus and Singularity/Midori are great proof of concepts, but I think we need a third (fourth? fifth? What number are we on?) path.
So Florida but without an actual Disneyland?
Belief is not a quantifiable metric outside Bayesian statistics.

Andy was asked to show the data to support RTO, for a company that boasts how it uses data to make decisions the S-team not only isn't using them and relies on unquantifiable metrics, but is unable to even provide them, or at least so it claims.

Shame that other companies are going down this road, though tbh it's more likely incompetence driving execs down this road but I digress.
Just so you know, this page became unresponsive in Chrome about 30 seconds after I opened it.
As a game dev I haven't seen an app (except browser and terminal) that looks like the OS native UI for quite a while.

Blender, Houdini, 3DCoat, Photoshop, Krita, FL Studio, Bitwig... all of them use their own UI widget.
While I respect Doug's intelligence, he showed a kind of perverse persistence in a failed idea, and I think it's telling that aspiring AI czar Gary Marcus admires the ruins of Cyc while neglecting to acknowledge that it represents a dead end in AI. Like science, the field of AI advances one funeral at a time. Doug pursued a pipe dream, and convinced others to do the same, despite the brittle and static nature of the AI he sought to build. Cyc was not a precursor to OpenAI, contrary to other comments in this thread. That would be like calling the zeppelin the precursor of the jet. It represents a different school of technology, and a much less effective one.
My auto investment is in vanguard which is the bulk of it and I have Robinhood for random day trading. I’ve never needed to call or needed support from either. I trust vanguard more but Robinhoods mobile app is better than vanguard. Both have their purpose.
Most repeaters are garbage from day one. I wouldn’t bother. I also wouldn’t depend on Ethernet over power.

Use a controller that allows for multiple wired base stations.

If you can’t go through a wall with Cat6 you can at least get right up to it and plop a base station right there.

I use Unify gear. The unify dream router and a wired base station near where I want coverage. I have two base stations. My service works great in a big ranch style house (never a single problem). Keep in mind that these routers cast a mushroom shaped beam so place them high and pointed where you want signal.
It's a wonderful thing for me, I tell you: my start date was May 19, 2020, and as such, my position was office-free from the start. In fact, during a round of layoffs last year, my employer permanently closed all their offices nationwide, except for East Coast HQ and one overseas, so at this point, none of us have anywhere to RTO to!
You can only learn through play.

Play involves accessibility, low stakes (cost of fault is little), freedom and some sense of excitement and arousal. Maybe a sense of community should be added as well to this list.

Early video games from the SNES era, the early internet, Linux, programming etc. all have that.

Smartphones can have that as well, but they give access to all the things that don’t have that, and it is questionable whether parental limits are creating authentic spontaneity that is necessary to safety also necessary to be able to learn how to handle with these things.
West coast accents are actually just a slight variation on Midwest accents, so most people these days are speaking closely like they are from Wisconsin or Ohio.

Neutral American broadcast English is basically a midwest accent.

Minecraft Java edition isn't really that though.

Roblox is in a class of its own compared to fortnite and minecraft in terms of toxic monetisation.

I can’t recommend any books on it unless you want to get into Friedrich Nietzsche as I think it has much to do with his theory of “will to power”, but if you are having a problem with cynicism, know that there’s nothing wrong with you. Your brain is just doing what it’s supposed to do and what we evolved to do. It’s just that those tendencies can be counterproductive in today’s world.

Powerlessness is created by fear and very often, self-inflicted. Find out what you really want and what fears are stopping you. Work at that, and talk to a professional about it. Working through this kind of thing with a book can be tough.
Last time I visited San Antonio (20 years ago), I had trouble understanding the server asking me if I wanted a coke with my food. The drawl was just too strong for me, it wasn’t as neutral as (relatively) next door Austin at all.
I lost the ports on some indoor devices when a neighbor's house was struck by lightning. The damaged ports were all running off a PoE switch I had spare to use but didn't need the PoE feature. A PC connected to a non-PoE port of the same switch was completely fine. PoE subverts the normal galvanic isolation of UTP Ethernet so beware of using it on important hardware.
No, the comment above mine is the one being pedantic. We can absolutely talk about physical correspondence of mathematical concepts, even though there are multiple equally good logical systems for describing them.

The exploit has everything to do with the TPM. It sounds like you don't understand why that is.

The TPM measures everything that you feed it. The firmware feeds it whatever binaries it boots, and those binaries may in turn feed it other data (configuration, chainloaded kernels, initrd, etc). Just booting a live disk on a TPM-encrypted computer won't be sufficient to access the data, as the loaded binaries/kernel arguments/etc will be different, so the TPM measurements will b e different. As such, it won't unlock.

The problem here is that the TPM doesn't measure things running in Linux (at least, not by default), so it doesn't know the difference between "expected initrd booting correctly" and "expected initrd being exploited".
That is probably not up to code

It's not the manager's job to make technical decisions or choices of this nature, or at least it really shouldn't be.

The manager should be there to act as an umbrella and protect the engineers from the morons, the technical leadership leads the engineering team, and they make choices on what is high priority to get things done.

I disagree, though. Wayland itself is definitely not meant to be a threat to BSD.

There are some anti-patterns in the Wayland ecosystem that lead to arguably unnecessary dependency on things like DBus, but Wayland itself doesn't actually need much and you should find that SwayWM works fine on FreeBSD. However, the graphics stack and drivers for BSDs are a little bit behind, which is arguably a bigger threat.

Doesn't have anything to do with correctness.

Has everything to do with "we won't challenge the system and propose changing how we actually build software because doing so will lead to us losing the contract, so we'll build upon these antiquated frameworks that will become harder and harder to support and sweep the problem under the rug long enough for me to buy another $EXPENSIVE_THING"

From a technical perspective, this is a terrible approach.

From a "look, we all just want to make money here, right?" perspective, makes total sense.

> that hash is the key that is used to encrypt said file.

So every file has a unique key? So thousands or 10,000s of keys would need need to be in the keychain, mapped to the file name.

And if one person's keys are leaked, they can be used prove that other people had the same file

No, this doesn't sound well thought out

Automated speeding camera tickets in my state are unenforceable civil fines. Folks in the know just ignore them. It's a tax on suckers driving through the area mostly. There was a whole kerfuffle around the cameras being illegal because they violate the laws on distance notifications required of speed limit changes before sampling the speed, but the city didn't care about that and forced it through pretty quickly regardless. It's clear that these are revenue seeking mechanisms completely detached from road safety.
