I began my career in 1968. I saw a great many changes in what I did. The word careen refers to things like a cannonball bouncing in unpredictable ways through a battlefield. It's with good reason it resembles the word career.

If you are inclined toward tech, you might study both programming and a field in which it might be applied. This would increase your employment options. Programming and business administration would be an example.

Bear in mind that you will probably go back to school some as your career evolves. In this unstable and rapidly evolving word, maximizing your options is good.

Good luck!

It's the worthwhile actions that are probably what means the most.

And gradually decelerating the less worthwhile actions.

Ubuntu had a kickstarter but it didn’t succeed.
But we are, for ~6 years now? If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone - the most sold phone models in the world (trades place with Apple sometimes) with 60m+ devices/year sold, just plug it in and there you have it. Full peripherial support, you have a perfect multitasking desktop environment and access the same files - called DeX mode.

And yet, this question is here - somehow no one really uses it or even knows about it.
To be fair, to non-technical users I assume both “sqlite” and “etilqs” would look suspicious :)

I agree that phone manufacturers should focus on features more than performance as it's been more than fine for some time now. I use an iPhone 14 Pro and it's still more than fast enough for everything I do with it.

As for convergence I'm not so sure. The only place I use a desk is at work and even if a phone could optimally run a docker stack and everything else I need there wouldn't really be a benefit to me. I guess taking a phone home instead of the work MBP would be a bit easier but meh, I carry a bag anyway and then I would need something to plug it into at home.

For personal I use my MBP on the couch. If it was a laptop-like dock that my phone slipped into, ok, that would work but A) Apple will never do that and B) what would the benefit be? I doubt it would be a ton cheaper and I'd need to keep my phone more up to date than I do now because I do want a powerful laptop.

In principle I like the idea, but in practice I don't think it would work for me. What I'd be more interested in is running macOS on an iPad.

> In a bombshell accusation,

This accusation is only a bombshell if you lived under a rock for the past decades. I have to admit that I have never been to Japan nor that I am a Japan or China expert, but I don’t read much positive things on their relationship.

China says Japan should admit their wartime crimes when they invaded China, and Japan says China should stop conducting assertive actions especially in the East China Sea. According to one poll, the country with the most negative view of China is Japan [1]. Chinese citizen have a similar negative view of Japan [2]. Still, both countries do trade a lot which I don’t understand. I’m curious if anyone here knows more about this.

> Python, PHP, and C# are actually just as easy as the old syntax

I'd really dispute that.

I've never looked at C# but no member of the C or greater curly-braces family is genuinely easy. It's just familiarity.

Python is a mess in places because the C libraries underneath show through.

This ugly mess:

PHP is an ugly mess from "Hello, world" on up.
Samsung Dex does this pretty well, and has been for ages now. It's an undersold feature in my opinion. Samsung used to experiment with using Ubuntu for their desktop environment but they shut that down a while back (I forgot why, I guess it was too much of a pain to maintain).

Microsoft tried to do it with Windows Phone years ago, but phones were way too slow and Windows on ARM was an even worse prospect at the time, so that died too.
If it's an open model, good luck preventing us from downloading and using it though.

Don't bother. Flip phones have enshittified, too. (Alarms don't consistently trigger unless you disable and re-enable them after setting them; sometimes the sound just breaks until the phone's restarted; if any voicemail expires then the phone's voicemail indicator is stuck there forever; J2ME support has been removed, so the only available games are the ones you have to text a premium number to "buy" (even though the software comes pre-installed).)

Multiple different brands have the same buggy OS, even those which used to be household names. This must've saved the companies at least $20 000.

> Looks like China is attempting a hybrid approach. Free market with the government intervening whenever and wherever it feels like.

A caveat I'd add is that the Chinese government is subjective to the party. China's accomplishments are significant but they tend to be secondary to the political wellbeing of the CCP.

That wellbeing is secured though the harsh and thorough quashing of dissent.

I'd criticize China but CCP's most repressive aspects seem to be finding widespread appeal here in the US.
I've given some thought to this ... I privately term it a "legal bat signal".

It would not be a phone nor an app - instead, it would be a very distinctive object that would be difficult and expensive to mock up and it would function as a one-way alert: if triggered, an actual lawyer races to your physical location. The trigger would be un-cancelable.

Instead of tying it to your own, specific lawyer, there would be broad agreements that any lawyer could enter into placing them "on-call" for a legal-bat-signal and then the closest (and fastest) one gets the call.

This is quite dystopic, however: basically, very rich people would have a (figurative) hand-grenade that they could pull out and dare LEOs to make them press it.

Further: persons with resources represent one of the best sources of pressure to change these systemic problems. If persons with resources exempt themselves from this kind of overreach then we lose that pressure.
The History of Motorola – By Bradford Morgan White
What a poorly designed system. If the insurer truly prioritizes client care as they claim, why on earth would the doctors contracted to review the treatments of the insured, have access to the insurance policies? Shouldn't the output of their review simply be whether or not the treatment seems appropriate, period? Why are the doctors weighing their review against the insurers policies?

Honestly, this just seems like incompetence at multiple levels in a highly complex system. All it takes is one bad apple paying more attention to the bottom line than client care, for the entire system to magnificently cascade into an absolute shitshow.

If you read through the entire article without prejudice, most of the decisions made along the way make sense, with a couple of process failures and incompetent or indifferent individuals sprinkled in along the way, and the end result is a client who has to plan bathroom stops for a 5 minute walk, being told to take a treatment they know will kill them, or pound sound.

This is the kind of systemic cascading failure that can only be addressed by the person at the top having a come to jesus moment.

This suit seems to be in bad-faith.

Apple actively pursuited this tech but that backlash from the general population due to privacy concerns was simply too high, so they made a business decision to respect peoples privacy (and their bottom line at that).

I feel for the victims of child abuse but forcing device manufacturers to monitor everyone without warrant is an enormous violation of privacy.

“ There’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.”

Safe does not mean 100% safe, nor does effective mean 100% effective. Take the flu vaccine fro example. While the risk is small, there are cases of GBS associated with it. And even with the flu vaccine, you can still get the flu even of the same strain.

So it always comes down to an individual assuming what risks they want to take.

“I’m not going to take away anybody’s vaccines,” Kennedy told NBC News when asked whether there were specific vaccines that Kennedy would want to remove from the market.

“If vaccines are working for somebody, I’m not going to take them away. People ought to have [a] choice, and that choice ought to be informed by the best information,” he said.

“So I’m going to make sure scientific safety studies and efficacy are out there, and people can make individual assessments about whether that product is going to be good for them,” Kennedy added.

> Android devices have a ton of closed-source low-level firmware bits

Can you elaborate on that? You seem to be suggesting that there are low-level firmwares on Android devices that are exposed to the Internet and do not receive updates. Which ones? And do they receive updates with Linux on mobile OSes? And if yes, why couldn't alternative AOSP-based systems use those firmware updates?

From my understanding the underlying issue is purely geopolitical, neither side gives a shit about the historical reasons and it's mostly being used as propaganda material and a cudgel against each other. Maybe a Japanese/Chinese speaker should comment but from speaking to them, they seem to have no qualms about traveling to either country for tourism.
More personal in terms of use case, sure. And it performs computations - but it's pretty clear most mobile devices are not really your computer, when push comes to shove.

So, it's hard to call it a PC at the end of the day IMO.
Maybe because the Atrix is from 13 years ago? They mentioned the Dex, a much more recent product with the same goals.
Same. Turns out there's a planned maintenance, don't know if they intended to break installations though.
No. The reason why is because we have opportunities to move up and down the social ladder.

Basically it’s not really like the whole village raised your kid before, that’s more of a romanticized version. What happened was that your extended family helped because you lived with them for your entire life. So you have a kid, your sister in law watches them along with your mother while you work. Where do you work? Well that’s wherever your family works. If you are born into a farm, you are a farmer. If your family is blacksmiths, you’ll be a smith. Or a dung sifter, etc. If you can’t do it, maybe your farmer family sends you to apprentice with the local smith. But you rarely get a choice in what you do, where you live, etc.

Moreover, if you don’t like your family/they don’t like you: tough. You might hate your sister in law but who else will watch your kid while you sift dung?

What has changed is that we have the free market. Your can move out, have your own career and hire someone to care for your kids while you work. You no longer have access to “free” childcare but you have access to the job market instead. Want to leave the farm and move to the big city to become a jewelry maker? Go for it. But you won’t have much support to start a family. You are paying for free choice.
> That's kind of the point of democratic institutions

I think the problem is that American "democracy" is frequently undemocratic. If a clear majority of voters support a project or policy, it may still be blocked through various political/legal/regulatory means.
I disagree. Smart phones are too locked down to be personal computers. Sure they do "computing things" but you're only allowed to do what they want you to do. They're so limited, I can hardly even repurpose and old phone to do simple things.
It is discriminatory because someone at the university acted specifically to block Chinese students from accessing the website.
there isn't a hook for executing shell source, but it would be possible to add I think. The current hooks already execute inside of a shell function so there would just need to be a way to declare that you want a hook to run inside the shell, maybe like this:

shell = true

> is it good that the government stops you from paying the ransom

The government does not hover a drone with you at all times that counts your cash and stops you. But are two sides to every transaction. if transaction breaks the law any side can go to the law enforcement. Depending on country they may get a bonus for this too.

Now please picture me how your wife's kidnapper goes to the police saying that the ransom you paid exceeded $10k.
> Of course animals exhibit teamwork, but they do not have a free will that can choose compassion in the face of its opposite, selfishness.

No matter how confidently you state this, no matter how patronizing of a reply you make to someone who doesn't share your belief, you cannot know this as fact. A choice to believe this is not based on evidence, but faith (or for some, "hope" that they weren't wrong all along).

But as long as you're treating creation right (humans, animals, and ecosystems) then go with peace, brother (or sister).

So far, Russia is still making gains on the battlefield though, not Ukraine. At some point, that momentum would have to reverse.

Also, I don't think it's an "until" about China stepping in, they seem to be squarely on Russia's side, just presenting themselves slightly more moderate in public to appear suitable as a mediator. (Maybe sort of like the US does with Israel)

Finally, there is BRICS and some massive shifts of attitude in Africa that seem to work in Russia's favor.
I think there is a huge difference between “can miss a few paychecks” and “can retire” (aka “never need a paycheck again”).
They use drought resistant / low water plants, bunch of retainment strategies (membranes, local rainfall water storage). IIRC still need to truck/pipeline/drip irrigate some water when plants initially growing (more water hungry), but the goal is to pick right plants that can survive on local conditions.
