You want it more than you want not having any real estate, or having real estate in some place that isn't Boston, obviously! You want real estate in Boston - so do many other people, many more than who can physically own real estate in Boston. How is it decided who receives and who goes without?

Wants cannot be considered seriously independent of the reality of scarcity. The sum of the world's wants is greater than the sum of the world's resources, so we have to have some system of allocating those resources among those wants. There are many theories on how to do this, but free market trade is somewhat unique in that it is one of the only systems that acknowledges and allows for subjective value. So long as you are permitted to freely trade your time and resources, you are able of exchanging them for whatever you want most - which is not the same as being able to exchange them for all that you want.
I think you'd have to include a large majority of IT personnel in this figure, as they are the likely first line of support for many windows installs.

That number is probably much higher than 1 million.

Apples to oranges, of course. The interesting part is that MS scaled their support to include people paid by their customers directly because their software was so business critical.
The big graph at the top might be better represented as fractions of the whole. The most apparent thing in this graph is its seasonality / cyclic behavior in traffic, but that’s not the most important thing (given this was submitted as “TLS Cipher Stats,” not “traffic spikes”). Essentially, I’m saying the vertical axis should have percent labels instead of raw numbers.
Way to get that plug in.
>You want it more than you want not having any real estate, or having real estate in some place that isn't Boston, obviously!

Well, no. What I actually want is to live with my fiancee and not be homeless, and she's from Boston and needs to live near family right now, so here we are. Revealed-preference theory is one subgoal stomp after another.
It's not clear to me that your experience was unethical. As parents are the legal guardians of kids, where is the responsibility -- to the adult, or to the child?

National Geographic Society and 21st Century Fox Agree to Expand Partnership
While there is agreement that inflation is costly and should therefore be minimized, for a number of reasons policymakers nevertheless aim for an inflation rate above zero. First, available measures of inflation are imperfect and tend to overstate “true” inflation. Second, a little inflation may make it easier for firms to reduce real wages—without cutting nominal wages—when necessary to maintain employment in an economic downturn. Third, a negative inflation rate—deflation— could be even more costly than a similar rate of inflation, suggesting that a low rate of inflation might be desirable to insure against falling prices. Finally, at very low levels of inflation, nominal short-term interest rates may be very close to zero, limiting a central bank’s ability to ease policy in response to economic weakness. Because nominal rates cannot fall below zero, policymakers cannot cut short-term interest rates any further once they have lowered these rates to zero. - George Kahn, VP Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas

Basically, it's because people want to see their wages go up, and a central bank loses the power to set short term interest rates when inflation is 0%, as we've witnessed in the US over the past 6 years.

Given the pervasive way Republicans have aggressively and consistently used the term for longer than most people have been alive, I can understand its use in ignorance by people whose information sources have skewed to a Republican bias. But, if after your ignorance is cured, you are knowingly and deliberately using a term for a party that has been pretty much exclusively used as a hostile epithet by political opponents of that party for more than half a century, that's kind of telling.

This puts a lot of onus on the game developers to provide a good consumer experience. The hallmarks of great Apple products is when they get in there and say "no, you want it this way don't you?" This seems like capitulation or a punt more than anything.

What have they done for game developers? Almost nothing it seems. If anything, they've made it harder to reach Apple customers by fragmenting the experience across 3 form factors, with the same 70/30 revenue model. There doesn't seem to be any true rational why you would need an AppleTV, that another cheaper product doesn't do better, or something many people already have doesn't already do.
But most mobile web browsing worldwide is from Android devices, and iOS's share of the mobile device market in the US is much larger than in most other countries (not quite parity, but Android's lead is much smaller).

Apple does reap the lion's share of profit from smartphone sales, but they don't dominate smartphone use.

DataFlow programming[1] (which NiFi) is created to do is NOT the same as your typical extraction/transform/load (ETL) tool with a nice user interface!

Wikipedia says Dataflow programming languages share some features of functional languages, and were generally developed in order to bring some functional concepts to a language more suitable for numeric processing.

The thing closest to Dataflow that is most commonly used is the concept of DAG operations in Spark, but Dataflow usually makes time windowing a first level concept. Spark Streaming is moving towards this type thing.

It is true that there is overlap with ETL tools, but that undersells what Dataflow is.

Apple's plans land with a thud
There is not a chance in hell this thing is coming anywhere near the Cintiq's 2,048 pressure levels.

The Surface Pro 3, for example, clocks in at about 256 levels. Good enough for note taking, not good enough for any serious graphics workflow.

Even Wacom's $99.00 "Inkling" clocks in at 1,248 levels.

The only serious competitor against Wacom that I have seen is "Huion" out of Shenzhen.
It's so shitty how the Raspberry Pi has been able to do the same technical things as this for almost 3 years now with complete freedom and ease of use, but the only thing stopping it was DRM. Now this non-innovative POS is probably going to overtake it simply because Apple can cut a deal :/

Codes of conduct are cop outs, we have laws already! Victims of sexual harassment need to call the police, like people should also do in any other case of injustice... This is a scare tactic that generalizes, therefore insults men who have done nothing wrong. What are we, dogs that need to be put on a leash? Sure, it's not in the wording but the intent is pretty clear. Another important reason why you go to the police for these matters is that the accused gets a fair chance to defend himself (ideally, because the law favors women..). Isn't that beautiful?

Fox Set to Take Majority of National Geographic
Money works differently from technology. You can trade old cash for an amount of new cash with the same face value whenever you want.

If I bought a computer for $600 in 1980, it's not going to be traded for $600 today. But if I got a $600 check in 1980, I could cash it today for $600. Inflation is what makes this a reasonable thing to do. If money deflated, I wouldn't cash my check, I'd want to hold it for as long as possible. Deflation basically means you collect interest on any cash you have.
The nice thing about the way they make it is that it's waterproof!

My initial thought precisely.

Samsung Note Pro : 12.2" , 2560 x 1600
Apple iPad Pro : 12.9" , 2732 x 2048

So, about 15mm longer in the diagonal, and a higher resolution.

I have a Sammy Note Pro 12.2 - purchased with the vague intent of not needing to take a laptop with me on some work outings. Consequently I picked up an integrated keyboard / cover (the custom Logitech model). Combined they bring me very close to the weight of a laptop, but (just like the iPad will) it wins out on battery life and needing a USB charger rather than a power brick. And carrying a mouse is optional, though once you use a keyboard, a mouse also becomes a convenience.

Curiously enough I'd originally expected to not get much use from the stylus / digitiser, but it's become one of the more compelling features of the thing.

Nonetheless it's a heavy beast, and I usually end up carrying a laptop too. The Samsung (just like the innovation <sic> that Apple has only just announced) has been doing side-by-side and floating application windows for a while now - but even so, painful to do anything productive on it compared to working on a proper operating system.
I'm torn - I'm not sure if I'm envious, or think she's crazy - such a fine line between beauty and madness.

Those order of magnitude milestones feel about right to me. They sound a lot like memory access patterns on a computer (L1 cache, L2 cache, L3 cache, RAM, disc, network), and I think it's for about the same reason: controlling the time to load something into the CPU. Except, in this case the CPU is your brain.

2k is the cache size of your brain. You can fit an entire program in your head. It doesn't matter how it's organized because you'll just load the whole thing.

At 20k, you can only fit part of the program in your head. But, it's small enough that you can be familiar with the whole thing. You need modularity so that making a change only requires loading a single 2k-sized chunk of the program, but you don't need much else to help you find the right chunk.

At 200k, you probably have multiple people working on it and you may often have to deal with "cold" code that you've never seen in your life. You need additional architecture and documentation to help you find where to make a change before you can even start learning the part of the code that needs to change.

You need the codebase to be organized defensively to prevent you from adding redundant features, or doing things that break the architecture. In other words, you need to be able to get work done with only a partial knowledge of the code.

At 2M, you have lots of people working on it, and the team has changed over time. The team is large enough that tribal knowledge is constantly being shed through turnover or forgetfulness. There are parts of the program that no one understands.

The code is likely old enough that it reflects multiple different architectural and process visions. It is no longer feasible for it to be entirely internally consistent. The idea of a global clean-up is off the table because it's too risky. At this point, it is like owning a castle. You work mostly as a caretaker of it. Instead of adding value, your job is to preserve the value it has accumulated over time. Additions are often at the edges: interfacing with new systems, etc.

Personally, I find ~20k programs the most fun. Big enough to do something interesting bug small enough to be clean and consistent.

You act as though deadlocks in Rust are trivial and pervasive, but they aren't. It just makes no guarantees that deadlocks will not occur. Show me a language that statically prevents deadlocks and I'll be quite curious to check it out. In any case, writing concurrent code in Rust is safe and easy. I suggest you try it. :)

Certainly, and if we dig deeper, it's not that you want to live with your fiancee, it's that you want human companionship and sex, and we eventually get down into Maslow, but the fact of the matter is that you are making the choice that having real estate in Boston is more valuable to you than not working long hours - your want is indeed to work long hours to live in Boston, rather than to not work long hours to not live in Boston.

Among the choices available to you, you are getting what you want. That's not to suggest that the choices you have available are the choices you want, but I would suggest that the blame for that lies with the fact that we do not live in a post-scarcity society rather than on the resource distribution model we use.
The mobile link works fine for me.
It's a valid concern. Even a "tactical" nuke is likely to have strategic repercussions. I guess what matters is that somebody thinks/hopes the scope will be limited to the tactical, even if that turns out not to be the case. It's like using "Peacekeeper" as the name for an ICBM.
I don't see where the competition is coming from. Samsung? Google? Xiaomi?

Outside of Microsoft (disclosure: MS employee), I don't see much competition for Apple in the innovative premium tablet space. They still execute well in the phone space, watch seems to be shaping up fine, they are still the only PC maker that is known for producing PCs that can last. The costs don't seem too off from the competition, unless we are talking about Xiaomi or Lenovo, but then the tradeoffs are obvious (no longer in the premium space).

I do see Apple slowing down a bit in innovation. I mean, if iPad Pro was released last year (stylus, yeh!), I might have bought it, but the Surface 3 came out instead, which is quite decent (I won't go SP3 because of the fan). But Apple is still executing well, they aren't making many mistakes. They have built up a loyal fanbase and haven't done anything to betray them yet.

People who depend on tech are usually about the shiny more than normal consumers, who just want to get what they need done. The rabid irrational Apple fanboy isn't grandma, no, it is the young kid working in tech.
The article is confusing, I believe Ive was talking about Apple and its product line, not about outside standards. He seems to be saying that keeping compatibility within a product family can stifle innovation.

The latter is about Android "beating" iOs in web usage for the first time -- but in fact usage/users ratio is much higher in iOS, so you get more web usage from far fewer users.

That's not quite right. That article is about chip & pin only, and not about NFC. Apple made the business decision to build their own payments system and lock merchants in using Passbook, rather than use NFC, which is more open.

When it comes to market adoption of hardware, typically the market leader gets picked up for adoption. By forcing their own version of mobile payments (passbook) and not allowing NFC, the market was split and NFC adoption stymied.

>But most mobile web browsing worldwide is from Android devices

Of course it is -- there are way more of those Android units.

But I wanted to point which users are more active, not mere volume. Even in the US Android could have more volume, but iOS users still generate far more traffic (not as total: as traffic per head).

If the 10% or 5% iOS users in a country generate the 20% or 30% of web traffic, then they are much more heavier tech/web users than the others.
Yes you may not cash it in today if it's going to be worth more tomorrow but you also wouldn't have the money to use for something else you value.

I don't see how that's different from choosing not to spend $600 for a computer today knowing that it'll be only cost $500 a year from now. You buy it today because it has a higher value to you now rather than a year from now (we still prefer things sooner as opposed to later, despite deflation). You would also may choose to cash in the $600 knowing well that it will be worth more if you wait because you want to spend it on something now.

Even with deflation, people would still spend money as we prefer to consume now rather than later. If cash had a positive return, I'd imagine riskier assets would have an even greater return so you wouldn't necessarily be all tied in cash. I know cash has a negative return (due to inflation) but I still hold it.

I would say that the the responsibility of the psychologist (and all doctors) is to their patient, which in this case is the child. That does not necessarily mean that it is unethical to disclose what was said to the parents, as doing so may be in the best interest of the child.

However, there is a significant second order concern with violating confidentiality. In future instances, the child may be less willing to speak "in confidence" with a psychologist.
Not yet, but Aaron Turon, working full time on Rust, has a personal goal to make Rust have awesome support for these sort of things (lock-free data structures and other abstractions for concurrent programming). I suspect that Rust could very well become the "best" in this area.

Pissed that they dropped the optical audio port. We regularly stream music through the AppleTV to an amp with the TV turned off.
