You didn’t counter my point.

Restaurant X outlaws tipping and raises prices to enable wait staff to make the same income. Now non tippers are paying more money and tippers pay less.
> Give two jazz artists the same music sheet and an iPad and tell them to recreate it and they'll both make music that sounds the exact same

That sounds like an extremely dubious claim.

By the same logic, two pro gamers playing the same video game should always achieve the exact same score, two authors typing a novel in the same computer should end up with the same story etc., yet that’s clearly not true.
Well it's bytecode, so if you consider java or dot net bytecode assembly then it's assembly, if not then not. If we want to be pedantic, assembly is usually defined as being close to the architecture machine code, which web assembly is not.

Yeah, I fell into that trap, but it's a holiday here.
This is what I do as well. I don't like the price of entry, so I don't partake. Not my stuff to take outside of the price of entry.
A quieter world is one where the outdoors is quieter because we stop producing so much noise in the first place. This would benefit us and wildlife, which are very negatively impacted by not just our classic pollution but our noise and light pollution too.

This is what I realized, too. At first, I thought the outrage was dumb, but I think this is the context I was missing.
The design and motivations document is pretty long but doesn’t really describe the design. Things like which language you use aren’t the design, they’re more like design constraints and the environment in which the design happens.

The document about branching strategy [1] is closer to what I’d expect of a design doc.

But it avoids the hard problem of how live merges to the child branch work. What happens when a large refactoring automatically happens in the background while you’re in the middle of editing? In a fast-moving repo, it seems like new compile errors could spontaneously appear at any time, or tests could start breaking on their own. It seems like it would be frustrating to debug.

Apple pretty ingeniously went after the tech-illiterate market, in part knowing that their users wouldn't know any better.
It might take awhile for systems to disintegrate. And the executives might move on after collecting a tidy bonus. The incentives are too short term for anyone to be concerned about the finding out stage.
I guess I feel that the iPhone was the innovator for a lot of things that are in use today, ultimately leading to the cultural fall.

For sure, today the iPhone is no more to blame than other smartphones. But the iPhone lead the charge, IMO.

And FWIW, I’ve only owned iPhones, so it’s not like I’m anti-iPhone. But perhaps I have unfair bias and am giving too much credit to Apple.

But just like this ad reinforces, I feel like their goal from the beginning was to replace these devices, destroying much of the culture that we used to know.
The goal of all life is to make more life, is it? Not everyone wants kids. Is it my duty to be able to make kids? But what about my autism and mental illness? I thought that people didn't want people like me making kids. Or is it all about my usefulness to cishet guys? A woman is, after all, just a tool.
I ran into this with websockets. At least under certain browser/os pairs you won't ever receive a close event if you disconnect from wifi. I guess you need to manually monitor ping/pong messages and close it yourself after a timeout?
I hate ads, but I'm struggling to understand how something being an ad disqualifies it from being art. Advertising is a creative human endeavor. Ads are designed to make you feel something, just like art.
That's good advice; I had thought of doing this, and it requires a little bit of project refactoring, but you are correct that I do seem to already have the tools. Adding a few more unpopulated PCBs to the order would be pretty cheap as well, I guess around $1 per panel.

I think he did pretty well. Other drunk/high actors get angry to grab people they should not. This appears to be tipsy-drowsy drunk, not shouty-punchy drunk. He still came to set. He was dressed. They got the shot in the end. All those extras (paid by the hour) were probably perfectly happy that it took longer than expected.

>> I told him that I had to put him on camera for insurance reasons, so that we could show that he was all over the place and that we couldn’t do the job — that way we’d have insurance coverage for the day because of the actor malfunctioning. He understood, so I helped him out of the vehicle; he held onto my arm and we walked in.

Being drunk is certainly unprofessional, but few modern celebs would push though, embarrassing themselves on camera, to satisfy the needs of the shoot. A drunk yes, but still a pro imho.
I think the difficult part of pulling the bluff off was SDI had to look simultaneously very good against current systems but not perfect and potentially highly vulnerable to future systems.

Schelling established, at length, that perfect defence will be interpreted by an adversary as the inevitable first stage in making the first strike, and while him and Kissinger had their disagreements about real politics when it came to the core theory I believe they were aligned.

Schelling’s books get widely misinterpreted but are very readable, and anyone wanting more should go straight to the source. Ignore what other people said he said.

I think the point is that we know the numerator today is one, and no matter how much you cut down the denominator, increasing the numerator to two would be a huge deal. Conversely, given that we think the denominator approaches a small infinity, it seems implausible that the numerator is actually one.

It’s not taxes here. Restaurants are adding 20% fees onto meals and charging them at checkout time when the bill comes. How that’s not false advertising is beyond me. I can’t imagine Target adding a random surcharge as I’m leaving and no one losing their mind.
I've noticed that MacBook users rarely complain about their devices, but would you say they are worth the price? MacBook Pros are quite pricey, especially since the base model comes with just 8GB of RAM, which I believe is not enough. A good model could be close to $3,000, right?
At the end of the day, most pets are emotional support animals (I mean, unless you use your dog to herd sheep or hunt, in which case I would say it's not really a pet either, or your cat to keep your barn free of mice). Why would you go to all the trouble of owning a cat or dog if having them wouldn't make you feel better?
They're warning about the reaction of customers who encounter higher prices on the items they're looking at.

Even if we assume/pretend that the total for some specific order might not change, they're argument is that higher nominal prices on the menu will discourage customers from ordering as much in the first place and thereby depress the industry.

But of course, even if so, that's by way of customers getting clearer insight so it's not the most convincing argument from the perspectives of ethics or even market efficiency.
Probably, among other things, because <dialog> existed much earlier.
I think Google has 3 huge advantages.

1. They're the incumbent with almost monopolistic market share. People aren't going to switch to a new product that's just roughly as good. It has to be way better.

2. Their search algorithm is straight up better than their next biggest competitor, Bing. The latter has tried for years to overtake google and failed.

3. They have copious amounts of user specific data across their products/services. That enables tailored AI responses.

You have a fair point about google propping up ad buyers. That is their Achilles heel.
I'm sorry but this sounds like internet bubble nonsense.

A budding revolt? Equating an iPad to authoritarianism?

I think I understand and agree with some of your concepts. I see a trend back towards analog things and low tech devices, but that's a pretty simple and understandable trend. I don't think it has anything to do with authoritarianism.
I agree. And,

Why does saying “this IPad combines all these things” crush artistic merit or individuality? You can still go buy a piano and do whatever you want and be your own individual independently of Apple crushing ONE piano/trumpet/5 emoji balls.
Not in the field, but first transformers aren’t really new, they’ve been there for a decade now (only probably underused), but mostly second : i don’t think i’ve ever seen such an explosion of funding in a single tech since the internet bubble. That could probably drain the pool of low hanging fruits pretty fast..
In a packet-switched network there isn't one connection between you and your peer. Even if you had line monitoring that wouldn't be enough on its own to tell you that your packet can't get there -- "routing around the problem" isn't just a turn of phrase. On the opposite end networks are best-effort so even if the line is up you might get stuck in congestion which to you might as well be dropped.

You can get the guarantees you want with a circuit switched network but there's a lot of trade-offs namely bandwidth and self-healing.
> Sounds like he combined alcohol with a sleeping pill—never a great idea

No, the sleeping pill just took too long to hit him. He probably took it on a full stomach or some other random gastro think slowed it down.
Great concern!

We do two things to address that:

The first is nothing gets recorded and saved (or even sent to our backend) until the user actively chooses to log a bug. So it’s like actively choosing to save a HAR file when there’s a bug.

The second is we scrub all network requests on the client side for anything that resembles PII or sensitive data. We just don’t want it on our servers.

Is there anything else you think we should do?

Definitely building on the Chrome platform there’s always API risk of something changing but I hope Chrome and other browsers will keep it possible to provide a better debugging experience through extensions like ours for people who want it.
They are hoping to delay the sticker shock until the customer has crossed the rubicon. It’s highly unethical.
Yes, you're right. I didn't counter that point because it was immaterial (of course the cost of the meal has to be paid). I was countering your assertion that not tipping made people assholes by pointing out the destructive and unethical effects of tipping.

If you grew up under an unethical system and had to muddle through it it is not honor to try to force the same broken system on all others just because you endured painful experiences. It's nasty.
Correction: Strikes did these all of these things and more, but mere unions never have.

Strong unions (led by workers) leverage labor power for a better society. Weak unions (led by companies and bureaucrats) leverage hollow gestures and brew distrust.
It's tone deaf, for sure, but it's really a bad ad because Apple isn't showing any originality but simply ripping off an old LG ad: https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/09/controversial-ipad-pro-crush-...
But when everyone does it, it's just call "standard practices", and there are a million crappy little things like this you're already used to.
I saw this kind of behavior when I worked for a Korean company here in the US.

They treated us like animals. I thought I had seen the worst working conditions possible during my time in Haiti.

But the two years I spent working for the Koreans showed me that I lacked a great deal of perspective regarding just how poorly employees can be treated.

And they treated their visiting interns even worse. Students would fly in from Korea and rotate in/out every six months. Those kids were put through the wringer.

Unfortunately, creative and interesting use of the technology is both not how its being portrayed and also, critically, not how its being marketed and/or used.

The current expectation is that these models allow the creation of equivalent artwork to what artists are currently producing, but at larger scale / lower cost / shorter training. All of these boil down to less effort. And perceived effort is a large part of what brings value to art.
Personally, given how much people have shared the ad, I would say it was a successful ad. I pretty much try to avoid all ads, and rarely remember any, but this one came in my twitter feed at least 50 times if not more and all of these were organic reshares by folks I follow. Given how Apple purchases work I think it would only positively impact their bottom line. Overall, I didn't like the ad at all but it is memorable at a visceral level.
We have got: master/slave, blacklist/whitelist, master and now person-in-the-middle.

I’m sure we’ll find a few others.

You’re telling me these few changes and new terminology are too confusing?

It’s not like we are rethinking all of language. It’s a couple of terms and minor tweaks in ways of thought.

The amount of pushback is IMO disproportional to the minor inconvenience caused by learning a thing or two.

Remember that a lot of jargon that I cannot even repeat here used to be common vernacular not so long ago. My parents (and even I) for example were brought up with timeless children’s songs such as “nikkers dansen de troelala” en “hanky panky shanghai”. I’ll leave those for Google.

It’s better to move on sometimes.

The State of Europe report only further validates my core thesis:

> A job like a doctor or engineer pays decently well in your home country, so there's no reason to uproot your life unless there is a DRASTIC difference in QoL

The rate of inflows and outflows of European and American tech workers being constant proves this very point.

Pre-tax TC is only 2-3x more in the US than much of Europe, and QoL doesn't change drastically, so there's no reason for Europeans techies to immigrate to the US or vice versa based on salary alone.

This is a similar story for techies in other markets like China, SK, Taiwan, and India preferring to stay put instead of immigrating to much of Western Europe, because it's a 1-3x TC bump compared to a 3-6x TC bump going to North America.

As tech salaries in those countries rise, then increasingly techies won't leave those countries either unless a drastic TC change is provided.

And it's not just salary, the xenophobia and microaggressions in much of Europe are definitely in your face if you don't look "European" (and even then some idiots will target other Europeans as lesser) compared to much of North America.

And no, pointing out Varadkar, Sunak, and Costa are of South Asian origin; Yeşilgöz and Özdemir being of Turkish origin; etc doesn't fly.
These sorts of laws are there to hide the fact that the government adds lots of taxes onto everyday goods. When it's 'baked into the price' there is no way to tell if the increase is because of the business owner or the government, and most people will just blame the business owner.
This ad said the quiet part out loud about what the average technologist thinks of the average liberal arts pursuit. It just had to manifest as an ad from an insulated marketing dept for it to finally happen “in the open.” No surprises, and it was nice to see it out stated clearly.
Byzantium = Eastern roman empire. They referred to themselves as Roman and in every way were Roman. Funny that we bifurcated the empire nomenclature for our own classification.
I think the comparison is wrong here. For hollywood or film making, it is about the story telling. One has to create and destroy scene to produce story.
People who are chronically online in one form of another are literally trained/programmed to crave outrage. It's a stimulation like being happy. Why feel nothing when you can feel something?

> Are we also outraged that people travel to sets to create Apples other ads?

Don't try to apply logic. Hivemind wants to hivemind. It is like they are told what to be outraged about. Selective outrage.
They made a cheetah run along a Jeep. Who cares?

This is only outrage because people want to be outraged at Apple. And I don't own a single Apple product telling you this.

They could always lower their prices to the ones they’d been advertising. Sure, they would lose their scam money and that might hurt their finances, but that’s the choice they made when they came to count on the free money.

I bought a 300 euro ThinkPad that's going on 9 years now.
It was my only computer for the entire time until about a week ago, when I bought another 300 euro ThinkPad. I also didn't have a smartphone, only a basic dumbphone for a large portion of that time.

So for me, yes, MacBook Airs, like the lovely M1 I'm writing this on (I love my job!) are luxury goods.

Just because Ferraris cost half a million doesn't mean a 50k BMW isn't luxury.

Its probably unrelated, but this is widespread in Italy (for centuries), as "coperto" (per person fee; to pay for bread basket/silverware/tablecloth).

Was originally intended to discourage people from sitting in a place all day without really consuming much.

Personally I think the concept is fine, and actually much preferrable to tipping, but it needs to be culturally ingrained/expected; doing something like this in the US right now is just scummy.
It's not slowing down. It's getting more atomized. Plus, keep in mind that Western countries, just by the virtue of not being non-Western countries not because they are 'le evoolz colonialists!!', weigh publications from their neck of the wood with less transduction than publications from say, Iran or China, the former of which has had a very large boost in 'scientific output'. China, too, is where a lot of publications come from. Since a lot of these publications are not in par with Western codes, and again, that's because there are so many resources you can allocate to scientific publication and humans are extremely tribal (also does anyone appreciate the fact that 'West' is even a tribe these days? They were at each other's neck just 80 years ago --- better for all of us if these people don't claw at each other) so what we get is, PR bodies making it seem like science is 'slowing down' whilst truly, it is not.

What's happening is, text that laymen, e.g. me, understands, is slowing down. PR bodies at Western universities have a harder time 'selling' new publication to people. And the aforementioned countries don't even have PR bodies to begin with.

The key to improving the situation is standardize the fuck out of everything. Get rid of the nasty publication, ffs these days most people don't even give a shit if their paper is published as long as it gets traction on ArXiv. At least most people who don't live by academic scores don't.

Again I am a layman, I am not sure even if my posts show up so I am just venting and practicing my English. Be a sodomite and take this with a pillar of salt.

Thanks.
But why should they change? Ultimately immigrants need to assimilate. Maybe not the first generation but the second generation should be assimilated.

People always talk about integration but that's easy. Assimilation is the harder goal.

This highlights the key, difficult issue with immigration into Europe: people from vastly different cultures and religion who don't assimilate even in some cases at the third generation. But it's very difficult to openly discuss this because anyone who dares say, for example, "there are too many muslim immigrants" is immediately piloried and so the debate is poisoned.
