A crack in Section 230. Nice!
I think the hopelessly broken is referring to things like a 50-70 year waits for qualified people to get a green card if they're born in india, or stuff like it taking 1-2 years for someone married to a us citizen to be allowed to join their spouse in the country (and there's a decent chance they'll be denied a visitor visa to see their spouse during the wait) and the situation is even worse if you have a green card and marry a non-us citizen.

GDPR supposedly came into effect six years ago and they haven't fixed low-hanging fruit like cookie banners. Now imagine how long it will take them to fix Apple's bullshit.
I'm so confused these days. We can't use compost. We can't use wood because that's bad. We can't use plastic or metal. We shouldn't eat meat or processed food (and definition of process takes care of most things outside of the produce aisle). A lot of plant foods apparently are poisoned with contaminants or are full of carbs, etc. If someone finds a way to live in this modern age and survive please let me know.

There is nothing "secure" or "private" about a "smartphone". This is the company that has pushed the hardest for "smartphones". And it continues to do so, making computers people buy from Apple connect Apple's own own computers, the mothership, 24/7, from the moment a buyer turns on the computer for the first time. By default.

There is no "security" or "privacy" for the _owner_ of a computer that is locked down so that the _owner_ of that computer cannot control it. There could be "security" and "privacy" for whomever is controlling the computer. That would be Apple. This could even be "security" and "privacy" as against the computer's owner.
Spotify has its own App Store, with an even worse experience for developers in my experience.

Rather than a published set of rules and fees for commercial apps, instead Spotify requires you contact them, and fees and rules are done behind closed doors, if you even get that far.

Since Spotify is throwing stones here, what are Spotify’s commercial rates for Spotify integrated apps in their App Store?

Back in the day, there was something called XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO). Meant to be something like XML-based PDF, but somewhat higher level - e.g. it did text reflow. The idea was that you'd distribute an XML document combined with an XSL stylesheet that would transform it to FO for rendering; and the same document could have multiple stylesheets for different target devices, page sizes etc.

This is arguable, but it also isn't related to the article, which is about how young women are/have been increasingly progressive, while young men are not shifting with them, leading to a political polarization between men and women today.
When I look the hardware in it, I feels like the pinephone is just a step above what I would have built from a 3d printer, custom PCB, a microcontroller and an IOT modem from sparkfun. Every part is average, but the sum of it allows calling and has a usable idle battery life.

Such a collection of hardware can't realistically compete with mainstream phones which have very tight hardware and software integration to achieve the most performance with the least power draw.

It's a bad phone (and bad portable computer), but mine might work for as long as LTE and my desire to recompile exist. Schematics, opensource and spare parts being available are the crux of it. It's the phone for those wanting to build their phones and it's pretty good at that.
I would be willing to pay for it 100%
Men drifted to the right due to a vacuum. I'm reasoning from a European perspective but the pattern is fairly universal.

In the 80s-90s, almost all men were progressive. The progressive movement was a labor movement fighting for the plight of the lower class which largely consisted of blue collar men. There was ample room to improve the conditions of these men, thus the politics and the demographics align.

Let's pause for a moment here to consider the implication: men are not innately right-wing or conservative.

As of the 90s, the progressive movement dramatically shifted away from working class men to target other groups. Women joined the workforce which rightfully needed attention. Minorities/immigrants. Teachers and other government workers. Pretty much everybody but (white)(blue-collar) men.

Then globalization happened, as well as extensive labor immigration. Both trends have dramatically affected the economic status of these men. Where before non-college educated men had ample access to a tough but honorable job in blue-collar that would earn enough to start a family, now they're in the lower ranks. The underclass.

So not only where these men politically de-emphasized (or even totally abandoned), also economically. And to finish it off, there's the cultural abandonment. A cynical and hostile view of men.

A lot of people fail to acknowledge the above degradation of men's status or even believe it's a good thing. What they fail to realize is that the "patriarchy" concerns the top ranks. Most men are not in the top or in any position of influence at all. Men in the working class, specifically in rural areas, and other sub groups have most definitely taken a huge beating, politically, economically and culturally.

That type of abandonment by progressive politics is what created the vacuum. They feel alienated and not represented, hated even. They may vote conservative out of spite, without even supporting the beliefs. A recent poll of young conservatives showed that the vast majority in fact do not support dialing back abortion rights.

The progressive movement should start caring about men. You can do two things at a time, it's not zero-sum. In fact, it's a no-brainer. Men failing is very bad for women, bettering the plight of men directly benefits women.
... and on the other pathway, there's no fight because everyone's already dead. We fight because we're alive. It's just how life goes.
I would liken it to tax evasion. It's not illegal, and I absolutely don't mind people doing it. But I'd not publicize it or write a whitepaper on how I am doing it.
>israel in the same category as russia?

The Russian government kills unarmed civilians outside of Russia. Usually Russians, but not always. The Israeli government also kills unarmed civilians outside of Israel. So yes, in the category of "nation states that covertly murder people globally with negligible consequences", both are present. Hell even India is in that group lately...
I was going down a similar route in Australia but we were able to get my permanent residency without having to use the Distinguished Talent Visa.

Well there is that story https://a16z.com/why-i-did-not-go-to-jail/,. where they're like "everyone does it, I did it at my last company, it's fine".

Agree to (not entirely, but largely) disagree!

It's funny that you used Go as an example. Like 60% of its raison d'être is noticing that more lines of code is often better if each line is simple. And I think it's mostly right about that. Its inscrutable naming conventions are, on the other hand, a poor choice. (Notwithstanding that java's are a poor choice in the opposite direction.)
If this works as I expect it to, it'll be something I've been hoping to see for a long time. Thank your for sharing it with us!
My 2c having done a bit of everything

Consulting: Limitless income, low job security, high value interesting work

Megacorps: High income, medium job security, meaningless work

Startups: Medium income, low job security, sometimes meaningful work

Open source: Low income, low job security, work that lasts forever

I balance a mix of Consulting, a Startup job, and Open source these days. I tweak the dials between those to keep myself optimally financially comfortable, challenged, and happy.

Would never work full time at a megacorp again for any amount of money though. The toxicity, politics, and pressure to put profit before people do not work for me. At most I will solve a high value problem that interests me, take my contract fee, and move on to the next thing.
Bad faith arguments never end here. This general purpose computing device that you are trying to redefine as an "appliance" for the sake of the argument is how majority of the population consume media and information, manage their bank accounts, track their habits, communicate with each other, set up doctor's appointments, edit text documents, take and edit photographs, sign documents, and the other 99.9% of use cases that you must be disregarding in order to call it an "appliance".
I don’t understand; hasn’t that already happened and you need to get out now?
This is a problem I've had too, my current solution is to have multiple profiles on YouTube so whenever I click on a random video one it doesn't pollute my other education heavy account. Also just removing videos helps... but even then YouTube still pushes edu-tainment over harder educational videos.

One of my ideas that's on the backburner is build a BERT classifier to separate between Educational, edu-tainment, and random, then use that to filter suggestions from the ones of people that use Plato

Anyway if you have any good suggestions for better educational content I'd love to add that to Plato over the categories I have now!
That paper is not too remarkable, it's (1) the first one I found and (2) it uses extraordinarily mild conditions.

The gap between the bench and a commercial factory is immense and there are many areas where people write papers like this for decades but nothing really gets built. I think the usual excuse is that the factory is large enough that it needs to gather waste over a huge area and that transportation of EPS is prohibitively expensive. It doesn't help that styrene monomer is worth only 50 cents a pound, about the same as gasoline.
> On a related note, the moment OP resigned from their L1B job, I am fairly certain they needed to leave the country in 60 days or so. It may or may not affect them when they pursue citizenship.

Just a technical note that it won’t affect them at all. When you apply for an employment based green card you can actually have arbitrary amounts of “unlawful presence” before your most recent admission to the US. The Immigration and Nationality Act explicitly allows it. The challenge is generally recentering the US after being here unlawfully, but it seems OP already did this on their new O-1.
It always takes only a small group to commit terrorist acts. That’s true everywhere across the world. Most countries accept that difficulty as the price of freedom.

now that iPadOS has features that frequently trail a year behind iOS — lock screen widgets, off the top of my head — as well as features like Stage Manager and whatever it is I'm using right now to make my iPad an external Mac display, I think it's safe to say we're at least four years into a now non-trivial hard fork.

Unfortunately, that feature got killed when Edge became a Blink-based browser. But Edge Canary got a new implementation of that feature a few months ago, so it should land in stable eventually.

Fish are full of mercury, there's even plastic in fruit[1]... we've poisoned our environment so much that nothing is "clean" any more.

> There’s a lot of senior capstone projects that just go to benefit some random company.

That's a solid advice, I think. Your mileages may vary, but I remember a saying from a HR representative about having a good "entry" in GitHub being more valuable to students than having some random company entry in a CV.

In a rather similar vein, that's why things like Google's Summer of Code may be more valuable in the long-run than direct monetary support.

Virtually all Western European Monarchs spoke French, traditionally and after the formation of France.

To clarify: your assertion is that the Frankish Monarchs, after whom France is named, and specifically the Frankish Carolingians, etc, and the Frankish Normans didn't speak French?

I said "indirectly". Meaning, that Frankish power in Western Europe, mythologically rooted in their claimed link to Rome, is the root of both the term lingua Franca as well as the status of the French language as the shared language of Royalty. The French language is the lingua Franca of the Western European Upper class, especially in a historical context. This isn't up for debate.

extremely pedantic take. there is no actual leadership (as we know it in the rest of the world) in palestine/gaza.

this is all playing house. a real entity (like the US, UK, Australia, Urugay etc do) is participating in stuff like this... would you still hold the Taliban to the same standard? They are running Afghanistan but ... are they the real deal? No, lol.
I’m not a fan of this. If the desktop market is anything to go by, this won’t mean huge inroads for Mozilla, it will mean huge inroads for Chromium. Safari on iOS has been the only thing stopping Chrome from become the modern day Internet Explorer, where Google feels they can do whatever they want, because Chrome has a big enough market share to dictate the standard.

How did we end up back in this place, and why is it being framed as a success? Opening up iOS in this way would only be a success if it was destroying a monopoly. Instead, this move enables Google’s browser monopoly to grow.
While I don’t think it’s great they don’t allow other browser engines to run on iOS I find this article to be hollow on the details as to how the new guidelines Apple put out are unworkable that it will be insurmountably hard to implement on for the platform. It is scant on these details.

I don’t like the verbiage Apple used either but this doesn’t layout what the actual “unworkable” issues are
Such a statement seems, at best, a controversial view. For example, I’m pretty sure that the religious aspects of the crusades are generally accepted as the primary cause.
The economics only indicate the practicality of recycling. But the other component is environmental impact for the portion not recycled... not only is their immense economic friction for recycling of plastics, but there is also a high environmental cost.

Compared to other widely used materials that are essentially inert, the environmental cost of not recycling is mostly limited to the impact of sourcing virgin materials that could have been from recycled sources.
In my mind this scene ends with the mechanic saying "-Just give me a lift!" over the sound of a rapidly leaving ferrari.
Great comment. It's not uncommon for people coming from the world of private for-profit businesses to run into brick walls of their own making when they try to work with non-profit causes. The world of charitable non-profit organizations is fundamentally different. The incentives are fundamentally different and, arguable, at odds with entrepreneurial profit-oriented incentives.

Much of what you said arises from the same principle: be humble. Entrepreneurs are not, broadly stated, selected for their humility.

My approach would be to stop trying to do things and start asking questions and listening more. Sometimes the answers won't be palatable, but that doesn't mean they're wrong. Look into the ideas around Servant Leadership.

> Are you sure you can see this genocide?

Yes, I make sure that I have verified that what I am seeing is real. I immediately do a fact check. I read Haaretz because if Israeli media is confirming it then it is undoubtedly real.

So many people ask "how could people have just let this happen" with respect to the Holocaust. This is how. They didn't want to believe it. Or they justified it. Or they were more worried about other things.

Maybe you should re-examine your biases.
I don't think becoming a truther on this issue is going to help the cause you're advocating for.
I suspect USCIS is consciously allowing it. They have large amounts of discretion and the President can generally get USCIS to exercise this discretion to fit some policy goal. Under Trump it was making it harder to be an immigrant; under Biden it’s making it easier to be an entrepreneur specifically.
A lot of people do questionable things like this with some hand-waved legal reasoning. Most are lucky that it doesn't bite them in the ass. But I know of cases where it did.

For eg. someone I know of was banned from entering the US for 10 or so years because he worked on his startup under a B1 visa.

from my understanding glibc is not "religiously" against it, they're against it for technical reasons. In the sense, this is not a dogma. It's about internal details of their implementations.

As a German, I've heard the "but it's difficult to build new lines" excuse many many times.

While it's true, we've had the lines. The little town I was born in had a railway connection. We're 7000 people here. They built a serious bridge and a tunnel to make the connection around 190x or something. The next town over, around 30.000 people, had several stations and additional narrow-gauge track connection all important local factories. Some of them had a direct connections to the "big" railway, too.

So while it may be true that it's difficult to build new railway now, we wouldn't have that problem if we had not let it all go to waste in the 80s and 90s. It's such a shame.
The old bridges and tunnels are out here in the woods, I recently hiked there.
Worth pointing out that both sides have extreme religious fundamentalists.

Also worth pointing out that peace was achieved between Egypt/Israel but it took leaders like Carter, Sadat, Begin to transcend the conflict. Sadly, Biden is no Carter. And there are no Sadats or Begins anymore.
Monopolies are lazy. They grow fat on free cash flow they don't have to earn anymore.

Apple needs razor-sharp competition. That won't happen without regulation.

Remember when it took Google buying the Motorola patents in a MAD scenario to keep Apple from nuking even Android itself? They almost owned 100% of mobile computing forever.

Now both companies are content with policing what gets put on mobile and taxing it when it tries to process dollars. And now mobile is the most used form of internet.

There is zero chance of competing with this.

Apple and Google tax the internet.

As a parent of twenty somethings,I would advise parents not to pressure their kids to do anything much unless it's really stupid dangerous (not just dangerous). Wouldn't/didn't pressure them to do homework. Bit my tongue as they jumped of rocks into seething oceans and rocketed down mountain trails beside ravines. Half of the battle of parenting is not passing on your own fears to the kids.
