Because it explained what the exercise was. I just tried sharing but it said "sharing chats with images is not yet supported", so I'll paste what it said:

'Assignment 6 on the homework sheet you've provided is a grammar exercise that asks the student to think of two adjectives (describing words) that describe what each of the three pictures can do. The pictures are labeled "bubble gum," "porcupine," and "milk." It seems your niece has already filled out the adjectives for the bubble gum as "chew" and "blow," which are actions rather than descriptive adjectives. Adjectives for bubble gum might be "sticky" and "sweet." For the porcupine, adjectives like "spiky" and "prickly" would be appropriate, and for the milk, "cold" and "creamy" could work. The task is to use descriptive words, not actions or verbs.'

So then I said:

'What’s confusing is that it says “an adjective describing what each picture can do”. Isn’t that a verb?'

And it responded:

'You're correct; there seems to be a misunderstanding in the instructions. Adjectives are words that describe the qualities or states of being of nouns—like 'red,' 'quick,' 'tall,' 'sleepy,' etc., while verbs are action words like 'run,' 'talk,' 'eat,' 'do.'

The phrase "describing what each picture can do" indeed suggests action, which would typically be described by a verb. However, since the instructions are asking specifically for adjectives, it seems they want descriptive words that can indirectly suggest an action or capability. For instance:

For bubble gum: "stretchy" (since it can be stretched) and "flavorful" (since it has a taste).
For the porcupine: "sharp" (since it has quills that can prick) and "defensive" (since it can use its quills to defend itself).
For the milk: "refreshing" (since it can be refreshing to drink) and "nutritious" (since it provides nutrition).
These adjectives describe the qualities of the nouns that relate to what they can do without being action words themselves.'

It limits the utility of all iphones, stolen or not. It's not like you have a switch to deactivate it for yourself.

And for the consumer choice, I don't see Apple making any advertising about how anti repair they are, strange. I doubt most phone owners know about the pairing issues.

I hope no one is arguing with "a person's skin color influences how much criminal energy they get born with".

With your cited explanations, it seems to be easy to generalise and say "a black person that I meet will be more criminal than the next white person that I meet", just because of the reasons you listed, except for law enforcement & the bail thing. Which also seems wrong to me.
Which facts are those?

Of course they don't use the same quality screens, because then the replacement would cost as much as it does in an apple store.
> who have checked if those packages do not have security issues?

There are several companies that provide this service. Socket.dev being the one that we use in the company where I work. We also make use of GitHub Advanced Security and Dependency Bot.

Supply chain security is a problem for any language where your developers rely on third party packages, but agreed that it's particularly challenging with the JS ecosystem.
Try to avoid making such pointless accusations against employees across the entire company. It is unproductive and adds nothing to the discussion.

It's not _my_ tests that depend on C, but B's tests. I don't maintain B, nor do I care for its tests. They shouldn't be in my dependency tree at all.

This is a problem because every time C has a vulnerability, you get a deluge of vulnerability scanner alerts or Dependabot pull requests to update it, even though your application has nothing to do with C.

If anyone has a solution for this, I'd really love to hear it because it consumes a silly amount of time to deal with bogus vulnerability alerts.

This control severely limits the utility of non-stolen iPhones which is not a good thing for an iPhone owner.

There are other phones that consumers can choose that don’t have this pairing. But this pairing of parts is *not* one of the reasons people chose an iPhone because most buyers were oblivious to it since Apple never told them.
Cybertruck can't be sold in the first year
There are definitely many people who almost exclusively spend their time consuming stuff at a young age. I cannot tell however, if that has ever been different, or if it's just perceived differently now. For many people continue consuming a lot their entire lives. The quality of the content one can consume has likely gone up though, or at least it has become addictive.

The idea of only watching saddens me. Doing any creative work is incredibly satisfying, and I think has positive effects on long-term happiness and self-worth.
I’m going to put whatever did I or didn’t happen here aside and marvel for a moment at how complicated it must be to coordinate the logistics behind managing release schedules of both hardware and software and preinstalling OSs on all these machines.
One of the reasons I switched to iPhone was that Google only does their repairs here through third parties. Even though it was with official parts, the repair quality was never great and it often needed to be manually calibrated or go in for another repair to fix the things they broke in the first repair. My experience (YMMV!) with AppleCare has always been stellar.

The best way to interpret the data is to be conscious of the fact that individuals you interact with or cast judgement upon might not be dealing with nearly the same world that you deal with. That they may be more predisposed to certain negative outcomes. It is too easy to take this for granted.

I'm not black but I can list several factors that contribute to my own such predispositions, such as having drug addicted parents who were not present in my life, living with extremely abusive, cultist guardians, being homeless at 16, etc. The fact of life is that we must recognize these probabilities if we have any hope of improving our own conditions, or the conditions of others.
>The competing android devices are not exactly known for being a more popular target for theft.

You're so close to getting it.
in your case you got screwed up bc you got a bad part, but you're saying your solution to that is to screw everyone by disallowing even genuine parts for repair not blessed by apple?

Also a fantastic point, what do we mean when we say ‘never change’ ? I think it was a bit near sighted for the book to use a fashion example, albeit a fashion example that had, at the time, been around for hundreds of years prior, but even 100 years later through its own mistakes the book is ironically teaching a whole new set of lessons through a retrospective lens. The lesson it’s teaching by being wrong is arguably more meaningful than the lesson it was trying to teach at the time of writing.
I think Monbiit's book argues successfully that it's so hard to grow plants in a way that keeps the soil healthy (as little tilling, added nitrogen, pesticides and herbicides as possible) that there just wouldn't be space for livestock.
This general story outline is very common: some initiative that has a good idea at core has poor execution; it “fails” in its popular perception; the initiative’s ideological opponents claim that the failure is a result of the original idea being bad.

Just a cautionary tale about how execution can be equally as important as being right about the main idea.

There are many examples I could cite for this pattern, but one simple one: the street that runs past my apartment was adapted to provide separate bike lanes. Great! But it was done in a non-sensical way, resulting in a one-way road that dead-ends into another one-way road, requiring cyclists to cross from one side of the street to the other in the middle of the intersection, and motorists who continually violate the posted signs and turn through the flexible barriers. Now everybody hates the new road, cyclists and drivers alike.

Bad execution kills good ideas!

This is an extremely tautological statement, unless you misspoke.
Because thieves know that all iPhones are locked like this and thus don’t steal them.

If they knew that some significant percentage were not locked they would be worth stealing again, and if it’s locked they just throw it in a dumpster.

The fact that your phone is locked protects everyone else as well.

No, the article suggested that when hosting a Go package on your private domain that domain might expire. However, most Go packages are published as the module name being github.com/author/packagename, in which case domain expiry is not a problem, but you need to keep a hold of the account.

Iran was basically a throphy throne for Turkic strongmen to roleplay Persian King of kings for most of its post-Islam history. I assume the collapse of a strong nation state post mongols destroyed any hope of a top level national reconstruction effort. Water was sourced from north and flowed down south. It's like saying there we still have coal when someone has come and ripped up the entire railway network. More aptly, think Christmas lights in series. Now imagine the lights are little oasis towns, and far flung. Water stops flowing one day and it never comes back. That's likely what happened. (Also remember that Iran is ~1/3 the size of US and the dry parts are in the interior.)
In theory that sounds great, in practice you can find Facebook groups for ~stolen~ ahem lost iPhones for sale. The value of a bricked phone is never zero, so theft prevention isn’t as good as Apple claims.

Someone help me here, but doesn't every package manager have this problem?

If control of crates.io or npmjs.org change, how many rust/js projects will still build?

The trade-off seems to be between distributed vs centralized. Where in the distributed case, you take on more risk that something will break for a lower chance that everything will break. And in the centralized case you have a lower chance that something will break, but if anything does, you're completely SoL.

Now, I think there's a conversation to be had on that trade-off, but it doesn't feel like the article really covers it. Centralization has some really nice day to day benefits, but it's not exactly a trade-off with zero downside.
Relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subitizing

Also, technically it's not that we perceive small number "better". We only perceive (i.e. subitize) the size of a small collection. We find out the size of a large collection by counting, but counting is not a kind of perception, any more than inference, computation, etc are kinds of perception.
There isn't a specific survey I can find pointing either way, which similarly makes the argument that theft is significant enough to justify restrictive and wasteful locks also moot.

By competing devices of course I am referring to other flagships which are of a similar price and feature set, like flagship Samsung phones etc.
I agree with you in that DRY for "just not repeating yourself" is not good. But your local approach is flawed.

You still have to do the global analysis. You have to do that because the local code you are fixing might be a piece of business logic that has been dripped all over the code by a WET programmer. Now you fixed the logic in one place but all other places are still wrong.

The correct way to do it is to stay DRY when the reasons for changing a piece of code are going to be the same. An example would be this hypothetical business logic. If the code doesn't just look the same but is for something like business logic that needs to be the same in all 15 places it's getting applied then stay DRY. Other obvious examples are things like sorting algorithms. We banned those and put them in libraries for a reason.
You (or others) downvoted the comment and you invited the commenter to “educate themselves”, as to say they just told BS.
The way I understand it, the tiny speakers in laptops don't sound great. But since sound perception is somewhat relative, manufacturers use DSP to try to improve the perception of the sound.

Of course, this will never rival an actual "serious" amp and speakers, but it can drastically improve matters. Anecdotally, my HP laptop has a pretty crappy sound under Linux, but under Windows with the Realtek drivers, it sounds OK. The soundcard itself doesn't seem too bad: if I use a pair of nice headphones or plug it into my dedicated stereo, even under Linux I hear no difference compared to using an external DAC connected through USB.
Libertarian comment that blames every effect on individual agency. A canon event.
This was exactly my undergrad research topic! My knowledge is a bit out of date (perhaps this is in TFA), but the running theory is that there are two number systems. The first operates noiselessly and immediately for numbers under 4. The second works in the exact way you are describing, where the magnitude of errors are linear in the size of the set (the “analog magnitude” system). As I recall, there is substantial evidence supporting the idea of two separate systems rather than one.

I don’t really follow your point about integers. We know the brain does object detection at a low level, so it makes sense that the number systems will operate over countable elements.

That’s just because the thieves don’t consider the android devices worth stealing.

London sadly has an ongoing problem with phone snatchers and pickpockets, so on two occasions I’ve seen them nick an Android. In the first case, they just chucked it on the floor a few metres further down the road. On the second, the guy loudly shouted “what the fuck is this shit?” as he cycled down the road and threw it into a canal.
Wonder if there's a relationship between the Optus outage a few days ago and this cyberattack?
The proper comparison is not with Android phones, it’s with iPhones before Apple introduced this feature. The news reported a global drop in iPhone thefts at the time [1].

if this was their only intention they would let third party repair shops access to genuine parts or software tools. the reality is that third party "apple certified" repair shops are contractually less capable than uncertified ones, so much so that calling their service repair feels too generous.

apple do this to sell you phones instead of phone parts. if any of what you're saying was true it's simply a happy accident.
Somehow I doubt even a percent of owners would choose to unpair. And if they do for repair purposes, there's no reason they couldn't re pair/register. What am I missing?
If pre-M3 updates were intended to slow down M2s, it would be a big and unwelcome surprise to the community, and a huge scandal. Generally it isn't assumed to be the case.

This also didn't really happen with iPhones. What happened was this:

- Some iPhones started to develop a problem where sometimes, but at quite noticeable moments, the phone would unexpectedly power cycle, interrupting what you were doing.

- Apple tracked this down to a problem in the battery used by those phones. Those batteries, once aged, became unable to meet the maximum power draw of the phone, resulting in the phone losing power when it tried. (This is why the reboots were so noticeable - they happened when you were doing something that required you to push your phone).

- (The controversial part) Apple issued a firmware update that mitigated the issue by throttling the max power draw to something the battery would reliably output, but did so without acknowledging the issue or notifying the user.

- People discovered what was happening (as Apple devices receive a lot of scrutiny in general), and a large media storm played out.

- Apple issued a new firmware update that, this time, told you when your battery was degraded, that the maximum performance of your iPhone was reduced, and you needed to replace the battery to restore the original performance.

- Since then, Apple have added more statistics to tell you about your battery health in general.
So you steal and the person tries to murder you. Do you defend yourself? Even a push can knock the person over, hitting their head. Congratulations, you are a murderer.

> The additional 10 years is 10 more years where they can't hurt innocent people. The justice system exists for the benefit of society and innocent citizens, not criminals.

By this logic we should just never release them. Should we keep the 80% that would not reoffend locked up to prevent the 20% that would from doing so?

Should we increase the sentence from 10 to 20 years to make that ratio 60% to 40%? Then we prevent more crime, and the would be criminals are off the street longer.

Maybe if we decrease the comfort of the cells and general state of the prisons, we can get the rate to 20% to 80%? Then we can practically say we’re justified to keep those 80% off the street.

> Why would you ever assume that? Punishments absolutely have a deterrent effect.

Because most people aren’t stopped by the deterrent effect. It’s perfectly possible the net negative effect of locking people up for a longer time is larger than the extra deterrent effect [1].
