You clearly haven't worked at a job with incompetent adults before. I mostly haven't either thankfully, but my wife just put in her two weeks resignation after two months at her new job because she works proposal management and she couldn't get anyone to do anything properly (proposal management requires getting information from other people in order to put together a proposal with all the information requested), while they just kept piling enough work to keep at least 3 employees busy on her.

Forms filled out wrong after explicit instructions, vital information needed for a proposal due at 10 in the morning not received until 5pm the day before (and even then it's missing half of what they were told was needed), and then after asking for it again, finding out half an hour before it's due "oh I'm out running an errand, I'm not in the office, I can't get that to you", people taking pictures of handwritten notes in sloppy handwriting and sending them to other coworkers instead of typing them up themselves, people refusing to click a link on their iPads to access a document and demanding email attachments instead, people refusing to store important documents in CRM tools and instead saying "well it's in someone's email somewhere".

She's worked with several of these types before, but not this many people at one company, and not with such an intense workload (I think she was expected to submit a proposal every other day this month while wrangling these people, which is very short. At past jobs she usually only had to juggle 1 or 2 proposals in any given week).

She had no choice but to work holidays and nights and weekends and it still looked like she wasn't doing a good job because they weren't doing their jobs (her boss knew she was though, since she had to do the job before she was hired and knew what it was like, and begged her to stay).

I guarantee none of these people would have bothered turning off a notification, and then something confidential (legally not supposed to be seen by certain employees) could have been revealed.

Not that I ever usually bother to think about that myself, personally. It's rare that I start a conversation with someone with 'Hey blah! Here's some information that I can get in trouble if other people besides you see!'
I don't think the hardware is the main product. I think the AI is, but they didn't want to be "just an app" they want to be the first OS for the new way of computing. So they designed a new device. I wouldn't be surprised if they open up to OEM's to start making all kinds of devices.

I'm really not sure how OP meant with the "Reaganomics"; In regard to the Vietnam War, it caused a major mental health & drug crisis in the U.S. that greatly increased homelessness, addiction rates, issues with child rearing that is being felt today now that those kids are adults, etc.

Vietnam was terrible on the home-front.
They aren't the same arguments at all. All of those things are about the occasional indulgence of a hobby vs the time sink of constantly sitting on your phone and spending time with companies that want ALL of your time.

One thing I've learned studying biology is that, while there are many decent anologies to computers, biology is really operating on a very different paradigm to the sort of programming most of us are used to.

Biology is based on "primitives" like feedback loops. For example, there are many cases where a protein that gets produced at the end of a signaling chain then goes on to stop or otherwise downregulate its own production (a negative feedback loop, positive feedback loops also exist).

Another fact that biology relies on is that increasing concentration of some molecule is essentially equivalent to increasing probability of some reaction occuring. In a negative feedback loop, for example, as the concentration of the end product increases, the probability of the reaction that that product takes part in that inhibits its own production increases. Systems then evolve such that the maximum amount of inhibition is most likely to occur when the end product is at just the right concentration.

I've often thought about making a programming language that simulates this paradigm to some extent; a probabilistic programming language where logic was implemented as feedback loops.
It's been many years since Obj-C was relevant to my life, but I remember reading about some of the implementation details in the runtime and just absolutely boggling. Not in a bad way, a "wow, they've really done about as much as anyone could possibly do to get this performant" way. Distinct mental image of starting at a nice clean relativistic scale and then zooming down into quantum nuttery.

We need a Powers of Ten with programming languages.
“You need a link not list-unsubscribe” is not fully accurate according to my reading. They are asking senders to support the one click unsubscribe rfc, which uses list-unsubscribe.

IIRC, I read about a study some years ago that concluded people are slightly less likely to die in a crash if their seats are located at the end of the plane.

I wonder if changing the seats to be backward facing wouldn't help to improve survival odds too. I think the seats would provide some cushioning and help the safety belts to do their job in case of impact. There's no need for the passengers to be looking forward like the pilots.
Probably? Because now I listen to a few streaming "radio" stations when I am in the car or doing work around the house. They are "linear" and human-programmed. Some pay for licensing and some likely do not.

My current go-to was called Devil's Night Radio but they now stream under the name KPJK (a Twin Peaks ref) in addition to running a quirky cabin rental place in CA. Lots of garage rock, punk, classic Americana, old country/western, TV and movie soundtrack stuff...it's an odd mix but I love it.

I use Youtube Music to look something up if I am on the road and I really just want to hear something I uploaded from my personal collection, but for discovery and just letting someone else take the reins, streaming "radio" is still my fave.

The original goal was simple:

Reduce the deficit sufficiently to promote confidence in the market for UK debt in order to deliver growth in the economy.

You claim this was overwhelmingly successful?

How? Where would we see evidence of success? Would it show up in a change in bond yield trajectories post GFC? (It doesn’t). Would we see a change in the growth rate of the economy post GFC? (We didn’t).

So how is it possible it was not just successful but overwhelmingly so when we can’t detect the proposed benefits in the observed data?

> they've had a lot of downtime

Twitter is possibly the website most well known for downtime, and has been since literally the beginning. There's no real measure for whether it's true it's down more than usual lately, and sensationalist journalism and anecdotal reports from people with an axe to grind aren't really reliable.

The closest thing I can think of is looking at Google trends, which shows that "twitter down" is pretty consistent over the years:

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=t...

There's a spike in Nov 2022 when the layoffs happened, but again that's not indicative that it's especially bad - just that people were especially whiny about it or anticipating it would be bad
My understanding is that you would have to move out to the scale of galaxies to get that. And the distance of 2000 AU is only 0.03 light years.
Samsung galaxy is around 50% more expensive that US price but there are Android phones made by local companies that are less expensive.

I'm curious if the best monetary approach for a white hat hacker would be to show them the problem, give them time to fix it, and then give them an option to pay a consulting fee for the discovery in exchange for NOT publishing the exploit (after it has been fixed). The idea being the showing what you have found on other sites has marketing value for a white hat hacker, but had the company hired you to discover the flaw, you wouldn't be publishing it.
Security is at a point where shame is required. You deserve to feel shame if you have an unjustifiable security posture like plain text passwords. The time for politely asking directors to do their job has passed. This is even the governments take at this point. Do it right or stop doing it at all.
I wonder why people haven't coalesced around HLSL; I vastly prefer defining vertices as structs and having cbuffers over declaring every individual uniform or vertex variable with its specific location. It makes much more sense to me to define structs with semantics over saying location(X) for each var or addressing uniforms by name/string. I often see GLSL to HLSL transpilers, but not vice-versa, which is weird because HLSL is the more ergonomic language to me

Your knowledge of the US does not depict the reality. Title IX is a 1972 civil rights law that requires equal opportunities in, among other things, athletic opportunities in educational programs.

> "With regard to Title IX’s participation requirements, a school can meet the standard via three independent tests. The first test is a mathematical safe harbor. If the school offers athletic participation opportunities (number of individual athlete participation slots, not numbers of teams) proportional to the numbers of males and females in the general student body, the school meets the participation standard. If the school does not meet this mathematical test, it may be deemed in compliance if it can (1) demonstrate consistent expansion of opportunities for the underrepresented gender over time or (2) show that the athletic program fully met the interests and abilities of the underrepresented gender. The courts have ruled that “boys are more interested in sports than girls” is not an acceptable defense to lack of equitable participation opportunities."

> "Under Title IX there are no sport exclusions or exceptions, so football is included under the law. Individual participation opportunities (numbers of athletes participating rather than number of sports) in all men’s sports and all women’s sports are counted in determining whether a school meets the Title IX participation standard. The basic philosophical underpinning of Title IX is that there cannot be an economic justification for discrimination. The school cannot maintain that there are revenue production or other considerations that mandate that male athletes receive better treatment or participation opportunities than female athletes. A good analogy would be that a school cannot say that it cannot afford to provide wheelchair access for students with physical disabilities as required under the Americans With Disabilities Act because the football team needs the money in order to maintain its current level of revenue production. Similarly, a school cannot say that it cannot afford to provide participation opportunities for an underrepresented gender."

No it is you who is trying to reflect your faults in this thread on to me. I had already pointed out that you have been engaging in "Arguing for the sake of argument" which is a polite way of saying you are stuck on your "ego-defense" when you had clearly no idea of the original specific topic we started out with. I also hinted at this when i had said "A little humility goes a long way". Again, as mentioned previously, You really need to introspect on how you communicate with others particularly on subjects you are not knowledgeable on. There is much to learn in this world and while it takes a long time and effort to build a good reputation it takes merely an instant to lose it all.
