All they said is they want to keep work within contracted hours.

waste my already precious *freetime* on fixing bugs in prod

It doesn't mean bugs cannot be raised, planned and addressed through the normal development process.

Also, abundance of bugs in production could indicate cutting costs on testing.

What's your point?

Surely that must be a politically motivated stance.

We need a p2p client side / federated search engine, with customisable white/blacklists and proper caching. Able to both work with results of other search engines and index specific websites itself.

Pi-hole does not solve the problem completely unfortunately; it's fairly trivial to bypass network DNS. In theory any software could manually call one of the public DNS ip's or just have a fallback hardcoded list of IPs.

Can also trap reflected waves inside and focus them right in the middle

this is not reddit

The amount of school activities missed

Has been more or less spread across population. If only a known subset is affected, those will become disadvantaged and possibly even discriminated during employment.

What do you suggest replacing it with?

I meant from previous generation iPhones of the same form factor - it used exactly the same screen and camera

Their smaller / cheaper iphone line (SE?) is made mostly from recycled components I heard

The only reason for the markup, is because they can, which they ensured in advance

I'm all for forgiveness, however in this case even if they executed it perfectly, I'm not sure supporting them would be the right thing to do, especially now that Framework laptop is a thing, hopefully to be followed by a larger model and a Framework phone.

There's also a "genuinely super easy way to unsubscribe, except it unfortunately is experiencing technical problems"

There always will be those who support and those who don't. People are not 100% rational to begin with, and not having complete information only amplifies the problem.

It's not that easy. For example if your education establishment or employer uses it (google suite is a common one). You stop using WhatsApp, and undoubtedly lose contact with at least a few people unable or unwilling to switch to an obscure-to-them alternative of your choice. You order food from a restaurant which hosts its website on azure or aws? Supports them indirectly. Just living in a modern technological society has net negative ethical impact because you don't have control of the supply chain.

The world is complicated. Solution must be systemic. You cannot rely on everyone doing the right thing.

100% agree on the balance.

"Screen time use may have detrimental effects on children’s health and development" to me associates with having witnessed (too many times) parents hand their child a tablet with some simple game or a video in order to free themselves for a conversation or another activity, rather than a parent teaching their kid programming. I wonder whether it's not the 'screen' itself, but the type of activity normally accompanying it. (And the sacrificed of other required complex activities, like you mentioned)

Just like it's really challenging to bring a second language to the level of the mother tongue, and even then one mostly dreams in the native language (citation needed), I wonder if learning programming from young age will open one to a more "fluent" understanding.

If it happens consistently, does it matter?

That's assuming that either moral values correlate with skill, or that poor ethical standards are rare.

That's how I interpreted it

That it applies on individual scale but not on the global one

I hope the responsible copyright lawyers have a hard time sleeping because of this and consider changing their line of work.

Risking going off tangent, I highly doubt that would happen. When you work in a domain, your entire life becomes it, you slowly lose wider context and alternative perspective. I doubt there are many people who purposefully want to be the bad guys, it seems more like "learned indifference". Just like many people who eat meat on a daily basis but would be uncomfortable with a thought of a chicken being killed in a process (and some freak out from a sight of a live lobster in a restaurant tank). Maybe it's a negative side of the "flow" - losing some degree of empathy.

This will result in the trait being propagated rapidly.

Another comment by Stevvo mentioned

... a trait that could negatively impact a female's chance of survival AND kills 100% of her male offspring.

It can also help us buy things we didn't know we needed, bringing our unconscious forward and making us realise things about ourselves we didn't know

There is no commercial incentive to do any of that

And for intermediate level languages which were started being learned in the young age.

Perhaps the author jumped to a conclusion that number of dealership visits correlates with informedness.

capacity of the human brain won't be able to deal with all of the layers upon layers of abstractions that will have accumulated

That's already the case though.

Maybe we need to take a step back and design an elegantly simple, unambiguous, auditable/analyzable infrastructure, one that's more robust against becoming too complicated in the future. "Structural minimalism", to complement minimalism in user interfaces becoming more and more popular in the recent years.

Is it time to redesign the entire technology stack?

Edit: Feels like half measures won't move us very far (and taking a step back and refactoring everything, taking into account lessons we learned, while awesome, would likely not be financially viable)

That's how most opensource game revivals work, one is not legally allowed to distribute original in-game assets. If you come up with free textures and sounds, you'll get the 100% free alternative

Name collisions. I'm surprised this is an issue, but I will often get songs from different artists with the same name

This is potentially by design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Spotify#2016%E2%8...
