Reading essays by Aldo Leopold [0] really changed my perspective a bit. He has an essay from 1943 called "What Is a Weed?" [1], and I don't think before reading it that I'd ever contemplated that question in any depth.

He argues that it is a false premise "that every wild species occasionally harmful to agriculture is, by reason of that fact, to be blacklisted for general persecution [1]." He also argues that it's backwards to focus so much on weed control rather than weed prevention--many times weeds are the effect of some underlying cause (land misuse, etc.).

Anyway I really dig Leopold and his philosophy, if you've never heard of him give A Sand County Almanac [2] a try.

I'm sorry, but either it's factually true (or mostly there, to be chartiable) or it's just good vibes and made up, and the latter doesn't lead to curious discussion, an important ethos for this site. If you make a claim then understandably people will try to evaluate the claim to see if it's true, and to also decide whether the conversation can be held in good faith or not.
You can thank Apple for the Lightning connector and App Store too, for all the good it does everyone in the EU. If a company uses their power to prevent competition with their own products or services, the market's jurisdiction reserves the right to restore competition to their market and prevent the harms inherent to monopoly abuse.
Because with iMessage, it's not about your own security, it's about the security of everybody that you're allowed to message from a given device.

I suspect Apple can significantly cut down on abuse prevention measures just by making it harder to automatically send iMessage spam.

If any random Bluetooth smartwatch was allowed to send those, there's no telling how that capability could be abused, we all know how IoT vendors are with device security.
One card with twice the memory would let you run the model in half as many cards, at half the speed.

If I could show you some of the apps I've built with it would probably change your mind. A few had to go through testing and validation for accessibility. That and I'm pretty firm on keyboard navigation for all things. Had to tweak the corporate colors a little bit to fit WCAG compliance on the contrasts.

One thing that was crazy was having to go through verification for blind usability, when the core function (validating scanned documents) requires a well sighted user.

I won't say MUI is perfect... it isn't... but you can definitely go a lot farther in a browser than you can with what's in the box with most ui component libraries is the only real point.

Once you do that you still have to put in your email address. That's where I bounced off of it for now.
Here's my thoughts, as I've been through this several times--

1. I really believe that you need housing. Spending on motels and office space is counterproductive. (But many folks who need showers and hygiene will register for a gym membership, or use a municipal rec center.)

2. Figure out whether you're part of a special population, or have any distinguishing qualities, that would match you with a particular program. You are confident about your mental health, but would a psychiatrist award you a diagnosis?

3. HUD Section 8 funds regional and municipal programs, and also programs for "chronically homeless" folks. Familiarize yourself with entry-points into this. There are waiting lists, and they're long. Figure out how to get notified when a waiting list opens and apply online--Internet-savvy users are a step-ahead of the hoi polloi.

4. Keep all your paperwork in order. I hope you're filing taxes and tracking your income/expenses. I hope you've got a bank account. If you work with any entitlement program then you'll need to pull out that documentation when it's requested. Libraries have printers, and your cloud/email account has online storage. Organize everything and back it up.

5. You'll find social-services networks that blanket communities with services, and you may need to travel a lot between agencies during the work-day hours. You can get fed at soup kitchens or in public parks or at a church with no questions asked, but they may preach at you and invite you to accept Jesus as true food... unfortunately, programs for employment development are ill-equipped to deal with IT professionals and certified high-tech workers, because those careers are expensive, and blue-collar types have difficulty being accepted to company cultures. Get assistance to polish your résumé and print it out, because job development program may send you to job fairs and provide listings for blue-collar work, but they can also provide useful coaching and support for your job search and disability-related concerns, before, during and after the hiring process.

6. I have also seen agencies that will take in people and have a lot of services on-site. The central homeless shelter does this in my area, and also facilities for the disabled. Just because you have a car, you can still stay in a shelter. This may be a "bunking only" arrangement where you need to leave the premises during the daytime. Seems like a great fit!

7. In a nutshell, while it feels good to have freedom and feel like a professional #vanlife worker, if you want to rebuild your life, you will find yourself going where homeless street people go to do this. Your clinic, shelters, rec centers, and libraries will have postings and representatives to help you navigate. Sticking around, returning on a regular basis, and abiding by program rules will determine your potential for success.

- Government uses tax payer money to fund a bunch of research (internal and at universities)

- Some publisher paywalls the research

- Taxpayers pay publisher to unpaywall the research

Really dumb system. All research should be open, the CS field is doing this well. All sciences should follow.
Eric did exactly what you suggest, and found out he can't really build it without permission from the manufacturer. So no, you can't just pull up the pants.
I doubt the university did this for non-political reasons, and requiring a university degree to hold office is a bad idea anyway.
>How do you think they set the sticker price?

I think that like any organization, there are different people with different goals. I think some are true believers and are trying to minimize cost while others are interested in building their personal power base by raising tuition to pay for pet projects.

On the whole though I think Harvard has a budget, and they set the sticker price so that when you combine tuition, disbursements from their endowment, and federal grants, they meet the requirements of their budget.

>Do you think the total amount they receive in undergraduate fees is a reasonable markup (say, 30%) on the reasonable cost of the services they provide?

Yeah because the services the provide are insanely expensive. Harvard's operating expenses are more than they get in tuition revenue, so if you look at it from a markup perspective, it's a negative margin.

You can argue that the services they provide aren't worth it, but clearly the people who go there believe they are.

So they have a half-baked solution written in a random menu instead of just having it work properly by default? Well that's fine then. Seriously though, the text clickable area should be a bounding box of each line. Having to click the text layer is probably the same effort as fiddling around trying to get the exact location. Software should be welcoming by default, rather than hostile until you read every sub-menu to find the key shortcut that makes it bearable. It's bad UX in the same way not having a shape tool was bad UX. Sure you can look up "how to draw circle" and find out that you use the circle selection and stroke tool, but that's not intuitive for anyone.
It does. Sometimes I click on an interesting short and then keep swiping to see if anything else is interesting. When the app takes ten seconds to load, I go do something else because there's no real value in the shorts.
It's not in the package? TIL... My misunderstanding seems to be common across the interwebs.

I remember Apple used to show slides depicting the M1 SoC as one unit containing a CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, cache, and DRAM all together. But slides shown at an Apple event definitely qualify for artistic license.
> two broad categories: AI sloppish brain rot and more refined products that are hand made

If we graph it: Sloppishness is the Y axis and if we then put progres-in-AI on the X axis, the two lines will eventually touch each other. With some segment¹ of the population not being able to tell the difference sooner than others, slowly reducing available budget of handmade media, increasing it's slop over time. Therefore progress in AI will reduce the quality of even handmade media.

They scan for everything they can and report on that. They don't claim to be able to tell you if you're 100% compliant--they just claim to be able to alert you if some subset of the requirements are out of order.

And that still provides a lot of value to the right customers.
> I hate to break it to you, but unless you design a business exactly exquisitely perfect the first time AND trap its employees in amber so they never want to leave, get promoted, or age and retire, then a large part of running it properly is "promos, hirings, firings, and reorgs."

This is exactly corpo MBA-style which is orthogonal to innovation. By stating this statement, you just contradicted your own point earlier about why corpo MBAs are needed.

I hate to break it to you - you ARE the typical corpo MBA who will shift goalposts to justify your own position - and it is very evident to anyone engaging in a discussion with you.
Euphemism is already common, particularly when discussing sensitive topics like the cycle of life, bodily functions, etc. You are probably okay with many existing euphemisms because they are familiar. This really isn't a social media thing, newspaper obituaries also use euphemisms for death. e.g. "passed away", "departed", "eternal rest", etc.
The unethical part is obscuring the annual prices. If they plainly said what the price was, there'd be no ethical issue at all.

Trying to avoid having potential customers realize the actual price is the behavior of scam artists.

Depends on the undergrad. I had a ton of interactions with top professors in undergrad because I sought it out.

Yes, because you sought it out. But consider your classmates. What's the median amount of time they spent 1:1 or in a small group (4:1 or smaller) with a 'top professor'? I would be surprised if it were more than 1 hour per week.

Also the primary benefit of Harvard vs a state school is the network effects and the credentialing of having a degree from Harvard

You've got to the core of it. The network effects and the credential are things Harvard can bestow solely because it's Harvard. The tuition fees students pay don't create the network effects. They don't create the value of the credential. These are almost solely due to the flywheel effect from the selective admissions process. Smart people want to go to Harvard because other smart people want to go to Harvard.
Honestly foreign aid is more or less a tool of manipulation by more powerful states.

They don't want independent countries, they want neo colonies forever dependent on foreign aid. Can't bite the hand that feeds you. Better let us put up another military base.

At the same time, in the short term this aid does help real people. Real people who will then have the chance to flee their home countries for ones not trapped in poverty.

Biden threw $80 billion at the problem, in a mix of harm reduction and interdiction policies, and sought Congressional help on other proposals.

His problem was that he kept things in perspective, worked through existing institutional infrastructure, and sought legislative authority, as opposed to proclaiming himself to be Zeus and hurling thunderbolts in random directions.
"Therapy" and "going to therapy" are actually two different things. I don't read this as someone putting in the work, I read this as someone attempting to check the right boxes, and life simply does not work that way.
I'm willing to put up with a lot during an application process, but not Canonical's circus. If applying for a job at a company tells you anything about the company's culture then I don't think I would ever want to work there.
The effect of the carbon can cause such a war; the impact of such a war is likely to kill fewer than the carbon.

I'm optimistic about the carbon these days. But I also think the Trump administration's position on Ukraine is going to result in a lot of countries developing their own independent nuclear capabilities, and that itself creates more risk of nuclear war.

Perhaps it will be limited to Panama and America attacking each other. The world is looking at how worthless has been the signiatures on the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances and considering matters accordingly.
Well maybe Ukraine will allow the US to import their grain when we can no longer grow it ourselves.

Like we allowed USSR to do in the 70s and 80s.
I'd assume that self-hosting is not an option for this user?

Otherwise the alternatives would be pretty much a nobrainer for me:

Microsoft Office 365 -> Nextcloud
Bitwarden -> self-hosted Bitwarden/Vaultwarden
GitHub -> Sourcehut/Codeberg/Gitea/Forgejo
Google search -> Searxng
Reddit -> Lemmy
Hackernews -> Lobsters
Twitter/LinkedIn -> Mastodon / any Fediverse software
If we're writing such a tale, surely it'd be more believable that Musk and Trump are literal Manchurian candidates - because I'm sure China (and most of BRICS) is just loving what the US is doing to itself. Will make the inevitable "multi-nodal" world get here sooner.
So awesome. Ordered!
TS does not have macro facilities.

Proper macros operate on AST, which it to say, it is exactly like the Expression stuff in C#, except it can represent the entirety of the language instead of some subset of it (C# doesn't even fully support the entirety of System.Linq.Expressions - e.g. if you want LoopExpression, you have to spell the tree out explicitly itself).
In my experience, the public opinion is more anti semitic in Northern Europe than in Southern Europe.
>We go through all of the above to finally out with the fact you have dependents

Minesweeper can be more difficult than meets the eye...

I made a minesweeper solver a couple years back that solves the exact probability of a mine in any uncovered space

Its actually pretty hard, you have to factor in every single possible permutation of mines in the uncleared areas. That's OK, there are some optimisations you can do, but for certain board configurations the processing time needed would skyrocket. I suspect someone has made algorithms which solve it a lot faster though.

There are some minesweeper games that only show you boards where you can solve yourself algorithmically, where every space can be cleared with 100% probability that it will not be a mine. But what about making a game similar to that but it relying on the player's ability to guess probabilities more, the game would reward the player (ie, cleared space is not mine) if they correctly choose the best possible play probability-wise (but that otherwise would not be 100% certain).

I'm sure there are many other variants that could be made too
Isn’t that the point, in some regards? The urSkeks were alien invaders who committed genocide and caused widespread environmental destruction - it’s their ambition that drives the plot forward, it’s their powet and their willingness to wield it - without that, nothing would have happened on this wholesome sleepy little planet, you know?

How do you, as a Gelfling, navigate your life, in the shadow of these incredible creatures? That’s what the story tells - you worship them as gods, you treat them cautiously as potential allies or enemies, you rise in rebellion to eject them from your world - and maybe in the end you find a new peace and balance.

I do think that mystic and skeksis perspectives are present, in little peeks and glimpses, but I would still welcome another excursion into Thra to find out more about what their lives are like.
> whereas any writer in Hollywood will try to introduce it as early as possible

I like the Lynch version of this in Lost Highway:

1. Conflict: someone sent us a video of the outside of our house.

2. Rising Conflict: oh no, now they sent us a video of the inside of our house!

3. Conglitch: now they sent us a video of me murdering my wife?!? Didn't I just see her go in the bedroom?

4. Sogflatch: wait wut now I'm getting sentenced for murdering my wife?!?

5. Segfault: Hey Warden, the guy who murdered his wife disappeared and now there's a different guy in his cell!!!

6. Reboot: New guy adjusting to life after materializing in and getting released from the murderer's cell...

There's a similar game with conflict in Blue Velvet where "teen coming-of-age plot arc" becomes entangled with a separate "drug-addled adult plot arc." The latter ends up dominating to the point where the "teen drama" bullies get scared and drive off from what would have been the climax of their plot arc (never to be seen again!).
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43404726, though, it sets a dangerous precedent: any right can be revoked anytime for any reason, nothing is truly earned.
I probably dont get your sarcasm. But I never had a problem with Lightning. In the long run, I like the switch to USB-C... But when I got my first iPhone, USB-C wasn't invented yet, so... Also, I like the AppStore for its reviews, and would actually NEVER activate an alternative appstore. No need to weaken my security on purpose. I know, its apparently an unpopular opinion here, but that is mostly because many people only comment with their dev hats on and are apparently unable to see things from user perspectives...
TaxGPT: How to Use AI to Improve Your Tax Preparation and Lower Your Costs
> They didn't create a market in this case. They created a product, which is the Apple Watch.

I think this is the biggest disagreement point between you and the other poster. Whether it constitutes a new market is up for debate, but one can definitely argue that hardware and software that interfaces with iOS devices can be considered a market in and of itself, considering that there are literal billions of iOS devices worldwide.

It would be one thing if iOS was a limited-scope, standalone product. But it's not - a large portion of its value comes from working in conjunction with other, non-Apple software (and to a certain extent, hardware).

Now, in this segment, it's undeniable that Apple has constructed a web of their own solutions over iOS, and consistently gives themselves preferential treatment to ensure that other products have limited, if any, functionality.

This is certainly legal right now, at least in the US. But I don't think it's right or that it serves the consumers' interests. It's very similar to manufacturers of all sorts of physical devices freaking out about third-party repairs, parts, modifications and so on. It even has all the same marketing points about how anything without the explicit megacorp blessing is automatically tainted and unsafe, regardless of what it is.

It has been theoretically tamped down with independent agencies and watchdogs.

What's happening isn't just business as usual, it's unusual. The last president we had that openly defied the courts and the law was Andrew Jackson. And even he wasn't so brazen.

What we are finding out is that rules don't mean anything without enforcement and the US had a particular unaddressed threat in a party that doesn't care about the law and an executive agency filled with sycophants.

What the Trump admin is doing was supposed to be resolved with impeachment and removal from office. Fat chance republicans will react accordingly.
Hockeystick curve for corruption right now though.
The attack vector is a 3pt app being compromised - maliciously or otherwise - that logs/collects the messages - i.e, the apps themselves can be a threat vector. To be blunt and honest, I’m not sure I disagree. The notification framework seems like an okay compromise to me. I have used it with my Garmin bike computer and I’m more than happy with the level of integration.
