We really do not care about caregivers - or kids for that matter - in the US. It’s sad. A lot of talk about “family” and how wonderful kids are yet many companies and politicians fight tooth and nail to make sure people don’t spend time with newborns and otherwise don’t have access to childcare. I don’t have to tell parents in this thread about the “July to August gulf” when all the summer camps end and school is a few weeks away. I am not the only one reading this burning precious PTO just to take care of my kids right now.

The fraud can be tackle other ways than making banks to pay for the fraud. There are tons of ways like extra confirmations of the payment, thresholds on daily payments, payment delays or just having a setting in your bank account that you are allowed to make "high risk" payments.

But if you want to make the society to pay for vulnerable people, victims and friendly fraud, if we want to protect the eldery and others, these people can take an insurance against scams if they feel they are a vulnerable group. This is not a health issue, this is not a physical threat. This is not an epidemic. There is a cost of giving free insurance to these people, and a lot of them won't be eldery but the abusers fo the system. This was discussed in the article of Financial Times, and based on the news link, there is also a massive indirect cost for people by creating the unbalanced system of fraud reimbursement.

> Why would we try to answer that question without discussing how humans think?

The post you are replying to does not suggest that we should. If anything, it is suggesting the opposite - that we should be considering the full range of human abilities (or at least those that are effective in solving complex problems) when addressing the question you have quoted.

Scammers need to reach the victim somehow. How they do this currently is either robocalls (call every single potential number in a loop), social media or advertising.

If every disconnected number leads to a police-run honeypot that would play along (easy with the carriers' cooperation), police running bait social media accounts to get scammers to approach them, and proactively crawling scam-prone keywords for any scam ads to follow up on, the scammers will likely all get arrested before they'd even reach a single real victim.

Most importantly, the mere fact this is happening would have a deterrent effect and effectively put a stop to such scam operations because even ignoring the risk of arrest, it's simply not profitable if the majority of your scam attempts go to law enforcement who simply wastes your time.

That quote seems odd to me. Specifically,

1. The sound is attributed to trees cracking

2. The cracking is caused by sap freezing and expanding

3. Sap freezing produces sound in the ultrasonic range

4. So it's not the trees

Point 4 is not a valid conclusion from 1-3, because it was never stated that the sap freezing is what is being heard. Rather, it's the trees cracking, which is _caused_ by the sap freezing... but its own thing with its own sound.

I know the subtext of this comment is "European labor laws are good."

But it seems you've cited an example of something ironically very anti-labor. This means your government has codified into law the false idea that all human employees are undifferentiated commodities (like cattle). So as an employer, if there's no ability to remove underperformers every year, you've turned employment into a market for lemons, and created a classic adverse selection problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons

A market for lemons 1) suppresses prices [wages in this context] 2) decreases price variance and 3) creates inefficiencies. As 50% of workers are actually above average (statistics!), you've created a negative feedback loop hurting workers wages and ultimately growth in the economy.
Well if you look at the uBlock Origin comment thread that I started on this article, someone told me you can have that on iOS in theory. Turns out they were just assuming as well.

One thing that I think this article misses is a way in which Intel explains it's business internally. The author kind of presents it as "You have CPU design companies, CPU design companies use companies like TSMC to fab the chips, but Intel does it in house and this is a competitive advantage". This is not how Intel explains it's business internally historically. Historically it's the other way around, Intel is a manufacturing company that happens to design CPUs to drive demand.

Also, I think that the thing about their chip design not being a relevant strategic advantage is wrong. The reason they lost the mobile market is to a large extent because their chip design was bad.

The other thing to mention of course is that strategically breaking the foundry off from the rest of the Intel business lines Intel up to basically dump their foundry the way AMD did. Strategically, Intel's foundry pays a massive cost (a) by canabilising the profit of the product group - you now have an internal allocation of costs/profits that don't functionally exist, and (b) competitors don't like to use your foundry, because you're likely to be their biggest competitor and have in the past used foundry customers as terrible acquisition targets.
Outside of FAANGs, especially in lower cost of living countries (e.g. here in Poland) and high demand jobs (e.g. mid+ software engineers) employers compete for employees most of the time. The reason is simple: nobody's offering above market rates so you have dozens or hundreds of same-y softwarehouse-y companies to choose from.
Most of my friends do not apply for jobs because they actually need them. They're looking around for something better while already working for someone.
That's true, even with "perfect" abstractions, switching gets more complicated as you use more complex database features.

It's only really easy if you push most of your constraints and triggers to the application. In practice, I've only ever switched databases with really simple CRUD stuff and have otherwise been able to predict that I'll eventually want Postgres/RabbitMQ/etc and build it in from the start.
Here's my perspective. I never understand how some people could look at the code you pasted and think that's just as good. But different people's brains process information differently. Your example has a lot of punctuation that's very difficult for me to parse quickly. I don't see the DOM structure that's being created unless I manually pick the syntax apart in my mind, but understanding the DOM structure at a glance is far more important to me than whether I need a compiler. For the record, I'm neurodivergent. I hope that helps.
If that's the case perhaps you could, I don't know, state that up front and save everyone some time...
Explaining in detail, since there's a lot of misinfo in this subthread.

The new georestricted iOS features, like 3rd-party App Stores, are behind feature flags that only activate in certain regions. There are multiple factors taken into account when determining whether a flag should be activated. They include GPS location, location obtained from nearby cell towers, the issuing country of your SIM card, the region you set in settings, the country that nearby WiFi networks broadcast for regulatory purposes[1], and (indirectly, through the billing address) the issuing country of the credit or debit card that you use in the App Store.

Not all of them have to match, but the threshold is high enough that you're very unlikely to meet it while physically in the US.

Feature flags stay activated for 30 days since last eligibility, so if you're an EU resident and leave for a vacation, you're fine. If you traveled here as an US resident, you (probably) could get these features activated, perhaps needing an european Apple ID and/or SIM, but they would only stay on for 30 days.

One thing I've asked, which is kind of funny because as an interviewer you cannot ask me for HR reasons.. was "so what do you like to do outside of work".

In particular I only did this at 2nd/3rd round for jobs I was pretty sure I didn't want because the managers just seemed like hardos.

Seeing a hiring managers corporate robot brain go into "this does not compute" mode was confirmation I did not want the job.

I've found that a lot of junior developers are so scared of making a wrong database schema in SQL that they rather pick a schemaless database. Which of course if you're not careful leads to multiple conflicting ad-hoc implicit schemas in your NoSQL database. I.e. maintenance headaches.

Ideally do a meaningful MVP schema and then iterate on it. Schema migrations can be done. And it saves you so many headaches later on to have a reliable schema for your data.
You can't because Facebook won't show it to you and Apple doesn't allow their users access to the phone internals :)

Neat. I visited Valdez, Alaska lately and a friend was pointing out the tugs there. They seemed somewhat larger than other tugs I've seen.

Apple's primary business model revolves around selling hardware, software, and services rather than advertising. Unlike companies such as Google and Facebook, which generate the majority of their revenue from targeted advertising, Apple earns most of its revenue from the sale of iPhones, Macs, iPads, and various services like iCloud and Apple Music. This fundamental difference in business models shapes their approach to user data and privacy.

Apple has positioned itself as a company that prioritizes user privacy. Over the years, Apple has implemented numerous privacy features, such as App Tracking Transparency (ATT), which requires apps to obtain user permission before tracking their activity across other apps and websites. Apple's privacy policies are often stricter than those of other tech companies, reflecting their commitment to protecting user data.

The claim that Apple exempts itself from tracking restrictions is misleading. While Apple does have access to certain data from its own ecosystem, such as app usage and iCloud data, it does not sell this data to third parties or use it for targeted advertising in the same way that companies like Google do. Apple's advertising business is limited to its own App Store, News, and Stocks apps, and the data used for ad targeting within these apps is based on user interactions within Apple’s ecosystem, with strict limits on data sharing.

Apple provides users with clear choices and transparency about how their data is used. With features like App Tracking Transparency, Privacy Labels, and the ability to limit ad tracking, Apple gives users more control over their data than most other tech companies. Users can choose to opt-out of personalized ads and tracking, which is a level of control not universally offered by other major tech firms.

Apple’s privacy practices are subject to regulatory oversight in various jurisdictions. Any attempt to exempt itself from its own privacy rules would likely face legal challenges and public scrutiny, further deterring Apple from engaging in practices that would undermine user trust.
Hatchet was one of my favorite books growing up. I believe the first time I read it I was in 4th grade if that helps you gage (it was pretty common in 4th and 5th grades if I recall correctly). That said, my mother was a librarian and didn't care what I read as long as I was reading (including Faulkner and East of Eden when I was in 6th grade which was way too mature for that age :-)) so depending on your son maturity your milage may vary. That said, Hatchet is a great a book and I give it some credit to my life long love of the outdoors and adventure.
> The sandbox does not prevent iOS apps from accessing private APIs and accessing data from the OS that wouldn't be available typically.

That sounds like a critical failure of the iOS security model that would make me uneasy about using their OS. A security issue like this needs be addressed through technical means, not by a fallible manual review process.

As things stand, it's just a fear-mongering excuse they can throw in front of clueless legislators/regulators to help them maintain a stranglehold on app distribution.

That's a ridiculous statement. You have to normalize by population, because if you don't, you end up comparing countries with thousands of people to countries with hundreds of millions of people. Of course a billion people are going to emit more CO2 than a thousand people.

They aren't though. No acoustic instrument has perfectly linear overtones. And even something like a flute, which probably comes closest, has an overtone system that varies with force and input excitation.

The idea of the harmonic series is a useful approximation, not a physical truth. Fourier applies to completely static waveforms, and says nothing about how waveforms change over time. If you try use Fourier for dynamic waveforms - which is most of them - you run into all kinds of problems and tradeoffs.

So the concept of whole number consonant ratios is an attempt to impose a mathematical ideal of perfection where it very much doesn't exist.

Clearly music is related to the harmonic series, but it's related around it, not trapped inside it. The dissonances and deviations create colour, tension, and movement.

This doesn't mean xenharmonic experiments aren't worth doing, and we should all just use 12TET and not think about anything else.

But it does mean these are experiments away from real acoustics into computed perfection, not back towards a perfect ratio heaven that music was exiled from by 12TET.
