if you want the phone to be a dumb appliance, that's your call, but I think many of us actually want _more_ control, not less. I have my phone hook up as the controller for a coffee roaster, and I don't want my background processes dying mid-roast (like it does now, post android version update). For a platform as diverse as android, I could see a spectrum of options being available, but specifically dis-allowing functionality that many users would find useful to appease those who want a dumb device is in no way what _I_ want. Make the battery power better, sure, but let us opt-out easily and in an unrestricted manner.
Strangely, the issue is the exact opposite. Push notifications, ie, firebase messages, actually work fine, it's the stuff that needs to wake up and do something on a schedule basis when the phone is in 'deep doze' that get the shaft. Check out the 'FCM' section here for more info. Regardless, even with explicit battery saving exclusions, we are unable to do get GPS location when the phone goes into deep doze after an hour no matter what we do. Quite frustrating to try and do real work on a phone with these arbitrary (and unevenly distributed) restrictions.
If she'll be submitting papers she'll almost certainly need full blown office to get the formatting right. Otherwise, screen real estate, weight, battery life will all be important for working remotely. If she doesn't have a dedicated work colocation spot, make sure to get a good laptop travel bag and maybe one of those nice small wireless mice. Don't scrimp on quality , even if it's just cosmetic, it will make a difference on whether she feels valued.
It makes perfect sense,it just not align with any definition of free will that posits a self-aware 'mind' making a conscious decision to do something of its own volition. I think it's fair to say the standard definition of free will means something more like: a human will consciously 'make up his mind' as opposed to his mind making the conscious part of him aware of what's its decided already.
I have no idea how it can be at all. It seems to me the definition ceases to lose meaning if the part of the mind that 'thinks' it's making a choice isn't actually driving the decision.
Do you need to be conscious of free will to have it? We have pretty good evidence the mind makes itself up well before we are conscious of the decision:

Been commuting 5 years now in Texas, and despite the heat and danger I'm still at it. I enjoy the commute, and feel like it's only slightly more dangerous than my truck.
Also, you can only experiment on the machines in predictably non-destructive ways, and building reasonable facimiles for experimentation will land you in morally precarious positions.
I'd say a 'fair share' is proportional to what your average working citizen (me) pays. How am I going to compete against products and services from an international corporation when my tax burden adds an extra 15% cost?
.net core got some significant performance boosts at 2.1, and it seems kind of crazy to use the.net framework unless you have legacy apps or a windows-specific need. That said,.netcore 3.x is supposed to bring a litany of windows-specific enhancements to.net core to make the netcore performance enhancements available to a wider set of legacy apps.
Agreed on all of that, particularly the EOL of java, given the pitiful stewardship of Oracle. My current job of straddling this fragmented mess of platform specific idiosyncrasies appreciates any standardization, even if the underlying technologies are sub-optimal. That said, the unique characteristics of each environment (swipe vs mouse click, sensors, platform specific lifecycles, computing power, etc) does make me wonder if a well integrated, unified solution is even obtainable.
I think this is a troll, but surely Java/JRE was reasonably simple to get a cross-platform apps up and running for years. JS had surely involved into a serviceable language but the process has produced quite a litany of vestigial ornaments ("===" much?). Regardless, I don't think young nerds should get too much credit for packaging up a web browser renderer. They're standing on the shoulders of giants.
JavaScript will be come something like assembly code as better languages subsume it and spit out web assembly (though JS has evolved and is far from the worst language, especially the typescript flavor). I think it's the best possible solution at this point.
If the AI extension was roughly equivalent and a significant augmentation of human baseline potential (as I would expect it would be), I have a hard time believing that we'd see a huge disparity in the use of the technology among people. No doubt you'd see individuals seeking excellence and pushing the limits of the tech, but I can imagine the bulk of the use-case for this type of technology being rather mundane ways to optimize everyday life to a baseline built off of a collective intelligence that few can improve upon.
It sounds like in this case pretty much all this happened, except for losing the options (which, as has been stated in other comments , raises the legal stakes when you've got a negotiated contract to deal with). Not sure what the fuss is about.
Amazon's team probably were stratifying and weighting. The outcome variable is probably introducing the bias. A good 'fit' will be more like the things you have, which tend to be men at amazon.
I wonder if Amazon's scheme might be more elaborate than is mentioned here. I had a package delivered recently, but soon thereafter amazon sent an email apologizing that the package had been lost and to contact them for more information. After the second email I let them know that the package had been delivered as expected, and they simply said, "OK thanks for letting us know". I wondered if I was part of a scam by delivery drivers but perhaps this was an internal setup as well.
I'm at least in the caravan trailing the agile/unit-test bandwagon, but those are orthogonal to typing (and being explicit generally). Looking at a method signature and knowing that it requires a decimal and enumeration of a given type is more than a run-time check; it provides information about the intent, limitations, and discoverability options. There are very real trade-offs for the speed and flexibility of a language like Python, and my view is that it's more jet-fuel than solar power.
Hogwash. Even if x3 were true, Dev is roughly 20-40% of overall software cost. Unless you're arguing that every aspect of coding is reliably 3x faster in Python. Given the value of strong typing when refactoring, I'd wager python is not even competitive price wise past the proof of concept/one-off script scenario.

Double blind doesn't mean you can shoot your magic cancer drug into a person and see if it works. Hell, you can barely get a diet regimen through IRB.
God those greedy cyclist wanting a armwidth of passing space when a collision could mean instant death. What will they want next, dedicated lanes?

Have you worked on or have an example of a large, complex application in Python? I'd like to see how it's organized, seems like it'd be a nightmare.

Did you get adequate rise? When I over leaven I rarely like the results
