> Honest people finish dead last in the race that is life. The winners are people who know where to draw the line between honesty and God Damn Lies(tm).

It depends on what race you're running. The problem is letting the con artists define the race - for money, for power. If you are running for something else, the cons are the ones that are losing. For some reason, our society defers to the cons, especially these days.

The cons disparage honesty because it doesn't work in their race - how can you be an effective con if you act honestly? - and they don't understand how to operate it; they've accumulated skills and habits in manipulation, not honesty (which takes skill and experience to do effectively in real life situations).
Aside from obvious privacy advantages, is the software better than/on par with Google Photos? Their object detection is top-notch(I guess that's what you get when there's literally whole internet worth of data we give them) and it's one of the major things that my partner uses it. I don't think she'll be happy with lesser one for effectively double the price...

> "One word: Backend."

Sorry, I still don't get it. Telco's backend is a mess. It has a profusion of processes and frontend systems for customer service teams to interface with user records, which creates all sort of loopholes. Any sufficiently motivated attacker can pull a SIM swap attack, as it happens frequently, and the weak link is always a variation of: a clueless agent somewhere trying to help a poor "customer" who dropped their phone in the toilet, and needs to urgently to recover the number.

Or are you suggesting that Google's GV backend is riskier than the carriers?
You didn't quite count that right with the dots ;)
Apple lets developers keep 70% of their revenue. Should developers just jack up their subscription rates?

Or are artists less deserving of that 30% than developers?
As Portland resident, I remember the waves this article made around here. Friends and family prepared "go-bags" and "bug-out kits" and dutifully stocked away extra provisions. This has mostly all evaporated into distant memory and nobody seems to have the same level preparedness anymore.

This was just the time my wife and I purchased a slide-in truck camper. In my view, a truck camper is a perfect emergency shelter. We keep it fully fueled, with full fresh water tanks, and fully stocked with provisions. The camper has a built-in generator, solar chargers, 50+ gallons of fresh water, hot shower, kitchen, comfortable bed, fridge, freezer, etc. It sits in our driveway. It is fully mobile - it can also go anywhere the dually truck can go.

We've had to use it as an emergency shelter twice now because of ice storms knocking out power to our home and neighborhood for days at a time with ambient temps below 15 degrees. I keep 5 extra propane tanks in my shed along with extra water and shelf stable provisions.

In the next month, we are going to install a transfer switch on the breaker panel in our house that will allow us to run the house from the camper generator. It will be limited, but we will be able to keep the furnace and fridge going.

Nobody I know who owns an RV sets it up as an emergency shelter. I don't know why - but the threat of a major, disastrous earthquake is very real. Further, many of my neighbors were ill-prepared for the most recent major storm two weeks ago (despite plenty of warning) and grumbled a lot about the city falling down on its job. In a major earthquake these people are going to be desperate and many people will die. The city will be broken and if you rely on emergency services - you are going to be lucky to survive.

I'm not a prepper. We bought the camper for off-grid camping in remote wilderness - but I do believe in common sense preparation for "The Big One". Despite the flurry of attention this article created in 2015 - most people have put it out of their mind.

I’d quibble that the Cascades don’t have an age as they have continually been destroyed and renewed. They started at some point and have never stopped.

What I mean by “the gorge” is what is monumental. The river was there, but what we admire about it is much more recent. Also, I’m not trying to be precise. The article was fundamentally about fear, and I’m just speaking to all the natural things around me that can cause it but really shouldn’t.

The safest driving speed on busy roads is the speed everyone else is going. If everyone would drive this way, overtaking accidents (often very serious injury-wise) would be eliminated.

This means slow drivers are just as dangerous as fast drivers, and also points to why self-driving cars would greatly reduce highway accidents. Assuming they'd all be monitoring each other's speeds, they could coordinate like swarms of drones, and thus could drive safely at faster speeds.

To go even faster, the cars could link up into a single line, under coordinated control, and zip along like a high-speed train (which is why trains are the most efficient transport system, at a nice optimum balancing speed and energy consumption). However, this 'train of cars' has some advantages, as you could then just detach from the train and drive on independently to your local destination, avoiding the last mile problem.
I'm surprised something like The Void never caught on. We've had laser tag arenas for decades, just rent a warehouse and construct an arena where any wall in VR is represented in real life. For hygiene you mandate people buy a face gasket from you or bring the one they've used previously.

No treadmills needed and you can actually touch and lean on surfaces in VR.
On the other hand, Spotify spent a lot of money trying to lock up and monetize what used to be one of the most free and democratic mediums in existence (podcasts), have been hostile towards third party devs and manufacturers by way of deprecation of libspotify and refusing to enable interop with devices that don’t implement Spotify Connect, and have been endlessly pushy towards their customers with their endeavors.

With that in mind it’s difficult to feel too much sympathy for them. It’s too bad that more open streaming services (which ironically includes Apple Music, which allows third party clients) haven’t usurped it yet.

If you've seen people say updates cost money, it's because an update counts as another installation of the app. But because you're only billed for the "first annual install", this just means that someone who installs an app and leaves it installed for years will still wind up counting against your annual install-count so long as you're updating that app. You can release an update of your app every day of the year and it won't cost you anything extra.
That's what you'd say to discredit people when you don't want the truth to be revealed. Whatever the truth may be.

I think Apple would argue that the developer fee was previously $99 + 30% of app sales, and that the developer fee is now $99 + $0.5 per install.

I remember as a teen I did mine in 68000 assembly on a Commodore Amiga to get it reasonable fast considering it was running on a 16 MHz CPU — i would say a few seconds to draw the canonical image — but IIRC it reached pretty fast the limit of math precision.

At that time I didn't know what was a complex number, but was fascinated by the whole concept of fractals and how complex structures could be created with a relative simple program.
The advantage of driving faster is that you convert driving time into free time.

Death converts living time (including free time) into death time.

Subtracting them makes mathematical sense: you have more or less free time. Though it is napkin math. Eg: it treats all free time as equivalent. If speeding gets you to a job interview on time, which gets you the job, that is more important than speeding so that you have time to do a crossword.

Might as well do the crossword in the car, eh?

Pengo had been quite successful, from what I've seen.

Definitely felt more successful than me even before I heard (through alternate means) who I talked with XD.

Never seen anything about what happened to Markus afterwards and seemed gauche to ask.
While the methods in this post may not be a super accurate depiction of reality.. I did find it entertaining. Additionally I agree generally with the point the post is making. It is shocking to me that we accept so whole heartedly the risk associated with driving when, comparatively, it is shockingly unsafe relative to other modes of transportation. In the US somewhere around 41,000 people die per year from traffic accidents. If we compare that to train travel (especially in Europe where safety standards are significantly better) it’s somewhere in the ballpark of 32x safer. Additionally we accept the liability of a car shockingly easily. Yes we all should have insurance, but that insurance only goes so far. If you accidentally kill somebody on a bike you’re likely to serve prison time for manslaughter. There are several other downsides we accept that I won’t get into, but it’s pretty interesting to me that especially US society has accepted these facts so seemingly easily.
I don’t know to what extent he was a messenger for Buddhism. But in some sects you aren’t allowed to teach the Buddhadharma without permission. So in that sense, “personifying” what you teach would be relevant.

Fun to imagine such a dystopic setup but entirely unrelated and not even close to equivalent.

Food producers and sellers need to meet certain standards to sell their food. We take these standards for granted but they aren’t without cost. We like the standards because it means that we can generally trust the safety of the food we buy without needing to know much about it.

This is the point Apple sells on. Users are able to download apps and configure their phones without _any_ concerns of compromising their device.

Not everyone wants these guidelines and protections but for a large number of people they are worth a premium.
We should repeal the National Security Act of 1947.

Nuclear weapons have proliferated to nine nations around the world since the passage of that act. The production of nuclear armaments is clearly limited by political will and industrial power, not knowledge.

The act protects a foreign policy establishment that has abused its power to conduct dirty tricks against other nations for decades in order to keep American elites rich and in power.

No one is going to invade the American homeland, given the vast oceans separating us from the rest of the world. Repealing that act and removing the foreign policy establishment from power would unwind our vast empire abroad and greatly improve our relations with other nations.

I would prefer that we do this cleanly, but unfortunately I think our empire will suffer a far messier fall from power over the coming decades. Empires at this stage flail wildly in their military adventures.
Cool! Question:

“Who am I to say, ‘You’re suffering, it’s too bad, you just have to find a way to live like this,’” says Dr. Cheryl Rowe, a Toronto psychiatrist who routinely treats vulnerable patients living with the added challenges of poverty and homelessness.

“It's a failure of medicine. There are so many doctors that believe that they have to keep their patients alive at all costs. And it took a long time for doctors to begin to realize that that wasn't the case.”

See this is where I take issue. I'm a MAID proponent, but *do not* muddle up societal failures into here. There are many medical situations I can empathize with and understand why we need a MAID route... but if we start to mix societal failure in there and weigh them in the decision process, I take huge issue... that would be so fucked up (pardon my language).
It's an interesting article but I have to say that I've come out of it without any clear answer other than "the gulf stream would give a few degrees difference at max"

> I just put things under a subdomain of a domain I own

Yup, same here. Great in combination with ACME DNS-01 so your DNS server can request all those certificates and then push them out to your devices. (Otherwise the hostnames need to be externally accessible, which means either exposing the internal devices, or mucking around with split-view DNS. The former is a terrible idea, the latter is also DNS server complexity and worse than doing DNS-01 IMHO.)
You can say the same about a child rapist.
From the scientific american article:

Second, this narrative has been simmering for years and is largely an outgrowth of a former program at the DOD’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which was heavily influenced by a group of individuals associated with businessman and longtime ufologist Robert Bigelow, founder of Bigelow Aerospace. Inopen sources, particularly in records available on DIA’s electronic FOIA Reading Room. After the negative response by SECDEF, Senator Reid then enlisted the help of then senator Joseph Lieberman to request that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) set up an SAP for the same purpose. The administrative SAP proposal package was informed by the same individuals who had been associated with AATIP. AARO’s archival research has located the administrative proposal for the DHS SAP, complete with the participants, which has been declassified and is being reviewed for public release.

Finally, the key purveyors of this narrative have known one another for decades. In the early 2000s several members of this small group also participated in a study, erroneously characterized (by the same participants) as having been sponsored by the White House, on the possible societal impact of disclosing the existence of extraterrestrials to the public, with the authenticity of the abovementioned concealed government program taken as its baseline assumption. The think tank in question was a “futures” enterprise that often worked on fringe studies, and many of the individuals involved with the study also worked for Bigelow Aerospace in support of the AATIP program.
This is idiotic. The penalty wouldn't apply to the trip if you didn't incur it (die) during the trip.

Also, as they noted, there are a bunch of other factors. Some of those factors are equally or more important as the ones they are looking at, such as alcohol impairment (both about 30% of traffic fatalities).

The biggest fatality risk factor is not being buckled in. About 45% of all occupant fatalities are people who were not buckled. This will greatly skew the stats if not properly accounted for.

Edit: why disagree?
That’s success in the sense that niche music is getting out to listeners—but I think we should also care whether these artists we like are able to pay for food and rent, and I think the picture looks somewhat grim.

If you’re productive and put out two albums per year, and you want to make half of your money from streaming, let’s say $40k per year from streaming, you end up needing somewhere around 10 million streams per album (somewhere around $2500 per million streams).

That’s just for one person to get by. If you sold digital copies of your album, you’d only need to sell 6,000 copies per album to make the same amount of money (around $7 per digital album sale).

I remember being really happy to pay $10 for an album, just ten short years ago. (Yeah, I was a little slow to get a streaming subscription.)
That’s a stretch, but wow, that would be interesting!

I assume by “they” you mean FB/IG. They aren’t the ones who filed suit, so it’s a hard case to make. But I do feel there’s an implicit contract.
this is virtually my strategy too - but keep in mind when the event happens, chances are you won't be able to drive super far without going off road, and even then, you may end up blocked. roads and highways are expected to have massive damage. people dont realize that e.g the entire valley zone of Oregon will have no restoration of infrastructure until potentially more than a year after the event (coming straight from a study I could cite if needed). we're talking no hospitals, no police, no water, no sewer... for more than a year...

As someone who grew up in a mostly agnostic household, but ultimately converted to Christianity in my adult life, I find sentiments like "There is a caution, here, for strands of the renewed interest in Christianity that seem focused on battling non-Christian or ‘woke’ forms of thought and ways of living" to somewhat miss the mark in describing why people come to the religion. I don't think people come to Christ so that they can debate liberal atheists, but because they are disenfranchised by the current state of society: modern spirituality feels hollow, and we are plagued with social issues caused by general immorality.

I also find statements like "Watts tried to suggest that a truly all-inclusive God would not be bound by Western logic, with its insistence on mutually exclusive propositions. In Asia, argued Watts, one found not just ‘either-or’ forms of logic but ‘both-and’ forms, too." to reflect a shallow view of Christianity. For instance, ancient Jews (not westerners) pioneered the idea of a "a truly all-inclusive" god, while also creating a literary tradition (the old testament) full of contradictions and "either-or" forms of logic. Another example would be that even though the catechism creates definitive "logical" doctrine for the Catholic church, the Eucharist which is practiced every Sunday fully embraces mysticism.
This is more addicting than it should be.
Chinese and Japanese characters also have cursive traditions. The normal handwritten form of a character often looks significantly different to its printed form. Lines that are separate in print form become one squiggly line in cursive form, so stroke order is pretty important. For example, this is 私, a pronoun to refer to yourself in Japanese:

I have met many people who pursue what I call “willful ignorance”. Such people refuse to accept new information that might change their beliefs. Even if they might appear to listen, anything that contradicts their world view will be discarded.

I would say such people are willfully lying when they promulgate theories that either lack any hard evidence or can be easily disproven. I think this includes a large number of politicians, judges, lawyers, lobbyists, bureaucrats, and anyone else whose livelihood depends on those lies. And that shit is evil.
The inability of wrist trackers to identify deep vs light sleep might cause frustration to some, but their automated sleep journaling is actually more than enough to help change the lives of people with insomnia.

I'm suggesting Apple will continue to do anything that aligns opening up iMessage in any way with the maximum amount of security implications. They will continue to require any conversation about opening up iMessage to become focused on arguments of the security implications instead of just letting it be secure in general. I'm not suggesting they've left any way around that today or that it behaves differently today, just that it's a weapon they use today.

That the conversation has turned into comparison to "contains salmon" labels on pies is a great example the strategy is wonderful at complicating any discussion around whether it should be opened up.
