My Dad left us 30 TB of data when he passed. I trimmed it down to 2 TB and tried to use Google's desktop sync app to upload it to cloud. It ran on my work computer during COVID for 8 months straight before finishing.

When I tried to back up that and my other data to a hard drive, Google takeout consistently failed, downloading consistently failed. I went back and forth with support for months with no solution.

Finally I found rclone and was done in a couple days.

Tim Apple has spent so much corporate & personal credit swearing the sky will fall if Apple doesn't have total control.

Someone finally has had enough with this bullshit horrible smokescreen crap & has done something about it. Apple has nearly no foreseeable winning plays where they can possibly hold back the tide anymore. It has never been true, has always been self-dealing, and they are going to be spending the next decade being the bad guys & squabbling over every inch of terrain & working overtime to find new legal horseshit ways to entrench/intermediate/extract.

The new plan to charge hundreds of thousands a year to let devs ship outside the Apple store is a classic Apple thinks they can write whatever rules they want move. They will burn their house down around them rather than be a respectable decent operator. Nothing will even slightly justify their absurd protectionist stance and they'll keep looking worse & worse.

Apple is not going to lose this long game with dignity. They will lose it like sour graceless chumps.
What is the expected dealmaking rate for these folks? Her manager did not express dissatisfaction with her performance. She said she was ramping up for three months and properly working for one month, how many deals are they supposed to make in a month?

I’m not in sales so I have no idea about the expected dealmaking rate, but if she really were subpar, the people doing the firing would have had a much easier job. They wouldn’t have hemmed and hawed and said they couldn’t discuss particulars, etc, they would have said exactly what you said, “by your own admission you failed to close any deals, the expected dealmaking rate is X many deals, etc”

> If it's an edge case then we can agree that it's misleading not to point that out.

If the "edge case" you're talking about is the number of sales, then the tweet very clearly pointed that out. "If you make $10M in sales..."

So can we agree that nothing here is misleading?
SA’s bargaining power will wane if the world order tips more and more in favor of the West.
I agree the worst thing that could happen is displaced Palestinians from Gaza refusing to go back to where other people have decided they have to live because otherwise it'd be ethnic cleansing.
This is fascinating, thanks for sharing! Do you find that you and your coworkers typically agree on the definition of an unproductive Teams message?
I find this argument to be problematic. The world contains an enormous number of descendants of displaced people. I imagine that most of the US population is in this category, for example. (Most people of Native American heritage. The descendants of the Puritans. Most American Jews (displaced from different places, even). The Palestinian-Americans. Descendants of slaves. Many others.)

Yet most of these people do not consider themselves to still be displaced! I certainly feel no particular desire to reconquer the (multiple!) places from which my ancestors were displaced. (There’s a lot of nuance here. Plenty of people, for example, think that Native Americans and their descendants should have better treatment, especially in land that remains Native American.)

But somehow Palestinian refugees, in particular, have unusual, highly politicized issues. The UN agency involved is a different agency than the one that nominally handles every other refugee situation worldwide. There are multigenerational Palestinian refugee camps in countries that do not grant citizenship to the refugees, and there are people who argue that granting citizenship would do them a disservice. (I don’t know whether the people arguing this are doing so in good faith.)

Also…

> Israeli can only exist as a Jewish majority state as long as the original inhabitants remain displaced.

Stories and written records about the Israel go back a long time. If the stories are all true, essentially all Jews worldwide are the descendants of those displaced from Israel. Control of Jerusalem in particular has changed quite a few times, and there are surely plenty of people around, Jews and otherwise, whose ancestors have been displaced multiple times, hundreds of years apart, from the area. (It’s not just Jews and Arabs. Jesus was killed in Jerusalem. Wars have been fought there repeatedly: the Muslim Conquest of the Levant, the Crusades, etc.)

Trying to keep score of the number of living descendants of the various groups who have been displaced from Israel seems unlikely to give any sensible moral answer for who ought to control what part of it, except insofar as maybe the entire place would be better off with a genuine non-religious government, along the lines of how the US nominally works. Good luck!
China is simply better at playing the long game. And good at engineering too. Blame it at short attention span of democracies.
> Do you mind explaining why it's so trivial versus setting up traditional ftp?

nohup /usr/bin/rclone serve ftp --addr MYIP:2121 $PWD &>/dev/null &

No configuration needed (beyond rclone's per-cloud-storage-account config (noting that serving local dirs this way does not require any cloud storage config)) and some variation of that can be added to crontab like:

@reboot /usr/bin/sleep 30 && ...the above command...

Noting that $PWD can be a cloud drive identifier (part of the rclone config) so it can proxy a remote cloud service this same way. So, for example:

rclone serve ftp --addr MYIP:2121 mydropbox:

assuming "mydropbox" is the locally-configured name for your rclone dropbox connection, that will serve your whole dropbox.

Battery backup seems like a great way to divorce yourself from the grid and solve this duck problem, except for the cost.

Whole house backup batteries are, for some reason much, much more expensive than electric vehicles despite not needing any of the car parts (motor, wheels, seats, chassis, etc.)

Comparing the Tesla Powerwall $9,200/13.5kWh ($681/kWh) vs Model 3 Battery: $14,000/75kWh ($186/kWh)

Why is there such a premium for house batteries, when there are even less engineering constraints on them?

Obviously there are inverters to pay for, but that can't explain a 4x difference in price?

> Although I guess not everyone synchronizes their Dropbox locally.

And i've yet to see a pi-native dropbox client for doing so.

PS: i actually do sync dropbox to my main workstation but selectively do so. The lion's share of my dropbox is stuff i don't need locally so don't bother to sync it. The rclone approach gives me easy access to the whole dropbox, when needed, from anywhere in my intranet, and i can use my local file manager instead of the dropbox web interface.
I'm missing the part where someone is forcing you to install non-sanctioned apps. If Apple is adding all the value you say they are, what do they (and you) have to lose?
You can get a better effect with the phase change materials. CaCl2 hydrate has a transition temperature of 29 C = 84 F. That's good for keeping warm in the winter, but not so great for the summer. On the other side, acetic acid has a transition temperature of 17 C = 62 F. But that will be below the dew point sometimes, so you need a clever way to distribute the cold and stay dry.

Thank you. Weird that there seems to be no link to it anywhere.
If for example you have some pages that are used for 64b objects, and you merge them to be backed by the same physical page, and then the user allocates more 64b objects such that a 2nd physical page of 64b objects must be allocated, they're now using 3 virtual pages for their 2 physical pages worth of 64b objects. With an allocator that does not point multiple virtual pages at the same physical page, they could only be using 2 virtual pages for their 64b objects.

So more TLB entries are not required immediately when pages are merged, they are required later when more objects are allocated. It's certainly possible that I've misunderstood and the pages are actually un-merged by Mesh at this point so that new allocations can be served from the existing 2 half-full virtual pages (which are now backed by 2 separate half-full physical pages).
This undervalues I think what Apple has delivered vs Microsoft and Samsung/android et so.

With windows you will be spammed in various tailored experience ways through notifications and search, random apps come pre installed on windows pro and the list goes on. Android comes packed with blostware and remote managers backed in from others to force / silent install crap. Cancelling payments can be a nightmare.

Apple is playing in part a long game. Dial back the crap to dial up the trust. Long support periods. Easy subscription cancels. The list goes on. Then they squeeze folks hard cost price side to make up for that for sure.
One reason old philosophers were so famous was because of how difficult it was to be one (e.g., writing, having leisure time, corresponding with other philosophers).

It’s absolutely misleading to the point of bordering on a lie.

There are an arbitrary number of ways to reach $10M in sales and only one of them gives Apple a cut of $6.2M.

Every other possible way gives Apple a lot less.

I get it. I'm not business illiterate.

However, it's still human on the other end. They know they ban a ton of users erroneously. They should have an appeals process for this. For example, maybe allow banned users to pay $1.99 to get a human review. Or provide an actual appeals process or invest in better spam detection.

In my case, it was obvious that it was a mistake. I used NordVPN, a very popular VPN, to browse Instagram.com on my laptop while logged in. Instant ban.

At the very least, banned users should be able to export their data. I had a ton of old contacts on my IG follower/following list that I lost. Impossible to get back.

That is preposterous.

Israel could (and probably would) prevent the fleet from delivering the aid even without help from the US.

In support of your "If China decides to send humanitarian relief to Gaza, China can do it, and Israel can't stop them," you link to a description of a ship designed for an invasion of an island 85 miles off China's coast, an invasion which China (correctly IMO) calculates would probably end in failure (or else it would've invaded by now).

Israel can't challenge China militarily in, e.g., the Pacific, but it is a wealthy competent state that takes security seriously.

Or, for one more, whatever is the truth about life and reality, Kahn contributed so much and got paid comparatively so little. That's reality we all know, and I'm not crusading against it, but it's still a big difference.
yes and if I make toast on my toaster I'm still taking advantage of the UI, technology, research that went into it, the branding and look and the possible customer support if it ever breaks.

I'm telling you, installing Ubuntu is the way to go for ~70+ yr old parents. Put firefox and chrome on there, throw some bookmarks in the bookmark toolbar (local weather, some news, facebook, amazon, whatever else they like), connect thunderbird to their ISP email address that they've had for 25 years, install zoom, and life is great! I've had roughly zero problems in the past ~5 years with non-techy parents going this route.

Rclone is a magic tool, I've used it for many different use cases.

When I last checked it doesn't use the AWS SDK (or the Go version is limited). Anyway, it isn't able to use all settings in .aws/config.

But it is kind of understandable that it doesn't support all backend features because it's a multifunctional tool.

Also the documentation is full of warnings of unmaintained features (like caching) and experimental features. Which is a fair warning but they don't specifically tell you the limitations.
I agree. That was an attempt at reductio ad absurdum.

The fact that it’s in English doesn’t preclude its use by the non-English.

For example, I (a Dutch person) just found out about some Brazilian and Panamanian slang. Presumably, a Brazilian or Panamanian person could also find out about Dutch expressions (I saw some Dutch entries).

> Thailand raised the prices on the Elite Visas in September 2023, due to high demand. In theory you need to buy one for your children as well, in practice they won't be fined. But they will have a history of overstaying stamps in their passports.

So there are two things with this:

- you're potentially causing issues for your children later in life if they want to visit or even live in Thailand legally. It doesn't matter that they don't have a choice about what happens now - it's a potential red flag to prevent them getting a legitimate visa.

- more currently: you've just stated publicly that you're both working on visas that don't allow you to work. Good luck with that.

FWIW, i've been using Insync on Linux since it went online (because Google never released a Linux-native client).
