  • Aagrred with this.

    It still surprises me that:

    1. people think students need to be in school so long every year for actual educational reasons
    2. people get offended when you point out that it largely functions as a ‘daycare’ for younger kids
    3. we’ve had both parent working be the norm for decades now… and somehow we still don’t have a school system that addresses that

    I honestly think that the main reason for the male/female become gap is the above. Discrimination exists, but I think it is more an issue of women being more likely to compromise their work life to take care of kids… and therefore being less useful to work… so being paid less for it.

    If we ACTUALLY fix that somehow, we’d be much more inclusive and free society.





  • Credit where it is due though… they could have remained silent and probably taken no flak… so good on them.

    Their big request seems to be to make sure people are aware when a phone is fixed with off-brand parts. This also makes sense to me. Some portion of off brand parts will cause problems, which may show up as complaints back to or about Apple.

    (An example: we have a system trained to map rail territory using head-end video using some visual odometery and 2010-era AI. A specific client has cameras that we can’t process well because of weird subtle artifacts. Apple is doing much more complicated stuff than we are.)
