Is there still no visual indicator that the wearer is in transparency mode? I am frequently in situations where I'm out in public and something warrants saying, where one or both of us are wearing airpods. Transparency mode would be worth so much more if other people were able to see that I can hear them, and vice versa. There have been so many improvements to apple devices which are obvious to anyone with an eye for what's missing but for which we've had to wait 5-10 years before they materialize, if ever. I am resigned to this being something I can look forward to in 2030.
None of those things is murder, which is unlawful killing, usually premeditated. Maybe there is a society which doesn’t hold murder to be wrong, but I’ve never heard of it, and it’s hard to see how it could last.
One's unlawfulness is someone else's lawfulness. (Eg wars and other conflicts where there are more than one law has to be considered, for example a foreign operative committing an assassination.)
FYI there’s a search mode called verbatim, and it’s not the same as putting the individual words in quotes. It’s hidden under the search tools menu. In my experience the results it provides always contain the search terms.
Because it's wrong for basically everyone. Spelling errors, stemming, etc. Most people want pages that match what they mean not what they typed and for natural language (vs programming topics) that's right.
Whenever you're called on to make up your mind, and you're hampered by not having any,
the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find, is simply by spinning a penny.
No - not so that chance shall decide the affair, while you're passively standing there moping;
but the moment the penny is up in the air, you suddenly know what you're hoping.
And if it doesn't help, if you still don't truly know what option you prefer, that means that the downsides and upsides of either are balanced so well you may as well pick whatever the coin landed on - the time you're wasting agonizing over the decision is worth more than the marginal improvement of picking the better option.
As with all advice, some people are on the other end of the spectrum and need the exact opposite advice.
You may be indecisive because you truly don't know enough about the options and need to do your research to make an informed decision. Don't overdo it, just do enough. How much is enough is not easy to say in general.
That seems decidedly unsafe to say, but even if you’re right, the second paragraph doesn’t follow from the first. “Everyone generalizes from one example! At least, I do.”
It's been shown repeatedly. Arthur Whitney is another example. In fact, basically every major technological innovation of the past two centuries has been because of people doing this.
The first was just to share an example. The second paragraph is common knowledge.
We do depend in a profound way on people trying the impossible for our civilization to progress. But at the same time most attempts to do the impossible do end in failure and I think it would be mistake to say that people trying do the impossible do better on average than those who don't. Rather, we should encourage play, tilting at windmills, etc knowing full well that we're accepting the danger of failure now but making an investment in the future.
Did you read the memo as it was written, replete with links to supporting research? Or did you only read the maliciously leaked version which had stripped out all the links?
