One thing the article nor earlier short discussions here fail to mention is that a ship costs money every day, also when in port.

Consequently, speeding up unloading means one can raise prices or become more competitive, either with other ports or with other modes of transport. The latter may mean that job losses due to automation get partly offset by job gains due to increases in traffic.

Nationalism is stupid. What's so radical about feeling I have more in common with an Indian engineering student than a white American factory worker?

I'm not a saint and I'm not simply going to give all of my money away, whether I deserve it or not. However, I'm not going to whine about foreigners stealing my jerbs either. If it's so easy for someone half the world away to steal my job I didn't deserve it in the first place.
"Today, the average member of the union in Oakland makes $147,000 per year in wages, with benefits equal to another $82,000 per year."

--

That is a huge amount of money, especially considering that includes entry level positions. While I understand these machines are complicated, and don't blame them for wanting to keep their jobs, I didn't expect over 200k a year total to be the average.

This is especially true considering that the average individual income in Oakland is around 32k a year. (http://www.bestplaces.net/economy/city/california/oakland)

Perhaps you did not read the article and responding to the title.

The article points out that 1/3 of improvement in past 3 years to meet regulation requirements was real improvement and 2/3 was just manipulation.

It doesn't matter that people drive cars differently than they are tested in cars, to illustrate it they highlighted that due to those manipulations that difference now can be as high as 50% which is beyond claims that people drive cars differently than when they are tested in labs.

Me too, but I don't feel that that's a win for the music industry, I see that as a win for me.

I didn't engage with a business model that didn't work for me, like millions of others; and eventually a business model emerged that I was willing to support. Maybe Napster lost, but I still got what I wanted, and it seems like the record labels did too.

Apple made it quite clear that the whole thing was under NDA and you were not to talk about it under any circumstances. This was mentioned repeatedly throughout the process.

I'm no fan of Apple's App Store policies, but this one is entirely iFixit's fault.
Might be related to Rootless?

"OS X adds a new feature called "Rootless" that keeps the root user found on Unix-based systems from being able to be run. This can cause some troubles for disk management and backup utilities, so they included a way to turn it off. Open the Terminal and type sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1 rootless=0";sudo reboot to disable rootless and reboot your Mac. Only disable rootless if you know what this feature is used for, and you are experienced with the OS X command line." [1]

Please can you explain what you mean here.
Yeah, there's quite a lot of Raymond Chen posts with the theme of "we had to take this cool feature out because people were abusing it". Only way round that is to go full Apple and refuse to run unvetted applications.

Maybe we need a flavour of UAC that allows you to put random junk apps in sandboxes while the others talk happily among each other.
The point is a little more subtle than this, or how the article made it out to be.

Global coherence and confluence (which GHC attempts to enforce unless told otherwise) is great for refactoring and equational reasoning and (yes) mathematics and programming at large, as Ed Kmett's fantastic "Typeclasses v. the World" talk covers:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIZxTQP1ifo

Global uniqueness of instances (which GHC does NOT enforce) is bad for modular programming, or programming at large, which is a point some of the commenters here are making.

http://blog.ezyang.com/2014/07/type-classes-confluence-coher...

The submitted HN link here has a terrible title. What the author is proposing is enforcing typeclass laws, which is a great idea (but difficult in practice to implement). Practice and time has shown that lawless classes are the ones that people hate, the ones that don't add any benefit and in fact make it harder to reason about large Haskell programs.

I hope people don't take away from this link that classes in Haskell are bad. Haskell is three things: pure, functional, and typeclasses. They're part of the identity of Haskell; they're the reason we set off on this wonderful journey into the uncharted oceans of functional programming back in 1990. Typeclasses are AWESOME. And they can be improved.

Postscript: Kmett also has a package that persuades the compiler to let you have dynamically generates instances. It has the same user experience as local implicits, which I think a lot of people here are asking for:

Mobile Savings App Ibotta Scores $40 Million
OTOH --- but I won't try to argue myself, as this story from _The Codeless Code_ does it so much better. (Cut-and-pasted here, as it's short.)

http://thecodelesscode.com/case/106

A certain monk was known throughout the Temple for his humility. When discussing flaws in his clan’s software he always took personal responsibility, yet when receiving praise for marvelous features crafted by him alone, he always gave credit to the entire team. Eventually word of the monk came to old Jinyu, Abbess Over All Clans And Concerns.

“So,” she said to her chief abbot, “this monk says 'I failed' after the defeats of others, and 'we triumphed' after his own victories?”

“So it is said throughout the Temple,” said the abbot.

“Bring him to me,” commanded Jinyu.

When this was done, Jinyu surprised all in attendance by striking the monk with her cane and sentencing him to thirty days’ hard labor in the data mines. After the stunned monk had been taken away the abbot nervously approached Jinyu to inquire the reason.

Jinyu struck the abbot. “Fool! Consider the monk’s algorithm. When he says 'I failed', what is most probably the truth?”

“That others have failed,” said the abbot, flinching.

Jinyu struck him again. “And when the monk says 'we triumphed', what does he most likely mean?”

“That victory was his alone,” said the abbot, wincing in pain.

The ancient priestess twirled her cane overhead, so fast that the very air whined in anguish, until with a thunderclap she brought it down hard on the floor in front of the terrified abbot. “The only thing praiseworthy about this boastful monk is that he has mastered the art of one-to-one mapping. Meanwhile, what am I to do with the rest of you idiots? You were deceived by a simple substitution cipher that your brains had already decoded.”
Please don't accuse anyone who disagrees with you of being an apologist; it's not a productive line of conversation.

That said, you're right that Apple doesn't like it when people ignore terms and conditions that they agree to wrt. prereleases. In an ideal world, nobody would care what we did with devices. But it's not like they're the only company doing it, and the terms are pretty clear.

I take more objection to your belief that iOS releases break apps frequently. In my experience, apps that break between releases are typically relying on undocumented behaviour or not following best practices. There are exceptions, but again - in most cases, follow the rules and nothing bad happens :)
The reason is right there in the article - excessively crude or objectionable content.

If a porn website released their own video player as an app, you could call it a "very specialized web browser", but it would still obviously violate the app store ToS.
The EFF is a 501(c)(3) organization, which limits their political activity in exchange for tax breaks.
That’s System Integrity Protection. Under it, system files cannot be deleted or modified, even with sudo. It protects down to the block level, so even if you try to bypass the file system and write to blocks composing system files directly you’ll get an error.

This can be disabled but I wouldn’t advise doing so unless you have a really good reason to.
If you do a full reinstall via cmd+r I'm unaware if it goes to El Capitan or the last installed version; obviously going direct would be the best approach.

re: browser support (which is where this problem should be fixed)

A trivial compromise that would be even easier to use than the current javascript/selection stuff would be a "copy to clipboard" variant of the <button> tag. Something like this should satisfy the use-cases where this clipboard nonsense is occasionally useful:

<form>
<input name="copy_souce" type="text" value="xyzzy" />
<button type="clipboard" value="copy_source"
name="Copy To Clipboard" />
</form>

This wouldn't require any Javascript, and leaves the clipboard entirely under the control of the user where it belongs.

This could even be extended to allow copying of the various types of input tags, and if you wanted to get fancy, the button could reference an #id and copy that element's textContent (or innerHTML).

I use a lot of audio production applications. I'm still on Mavericks, actually, because I haven't wanted to pay to upgrade perfectly fine software just so I could use a newer operating system. I have been receiving notices from software application vendors alerting me "Please strongly consider not upgrading to El Capitan yet, as there are compatibility issues that we need to work out."

So I'd guess the answer is -- it depends on what applications you want to continue using on your computer.
> Saying a manufacturer deserves extra scrutiny can absolutely be inferred to be an accusation of them reporting false numbers, i.e. lying.

> My reading comprehension isn't at fault here

Except that I very clearly said "I can't discount the possibility of something else is going on, such as an influx of a different type of car for GM over that period, I haven't read yet how they normalized the study and accounted for things like that."

> Maybe before accusing people of "not paying attention", you should look at your own language and see if it's ambiguous?

You ignored clear text from me saying that it didn't necessarily indicate GM was at fault. What am I supposed to infer from that?

As to the matter at hand, you still seem to be under the impression that driver habits can account for a change in the numbers we are talking about, when that would mean that GM drivers specifically drive very differently than all other car drivers in the report. We are talking about number across the industry, categorized by manufacturer. Everything listed on the graph in question shows automakers overreporting gains, which could be driver habits. GM specifically shows vastly different numbers from event every other manufacturer, not just the reported numbers. I fail to see how driver habit accounts for a specific manufacturer being so out of bounds with it's own reported numbers (keep in mind engines are often shared across multiple manufacturers).

Have you looked at the graph on page 13 yet?
Remember any time a group of people cooperates to maximize profit for it's members, it is....

Oh right - bad if the group of people isn't already wealthy. This is because unions are defined as bad.

Good when it's a group of already (relatively) wealthy people. This is because corporations are defined as good.

I know I know... it's because of the fact that unions involve the government in their actions. No - that's not it... The corporations do that too.

Maybe it's that the corporations don't engage in corrupt behavior like the unions do, and hire people only using free market principles - like that time google and apple (etc) decided to price fix engineering hires. (oh no... that's not right either).

Honestly I don't see a lot of difference between unions and corporations, other than the starting conditions of the people who form them. Well, once you replace the loaded terms with descriptions of the behaviors both engage in.
That is the stated reason but it doesn't make any sense. There are games in the app store where you actually pilot a drone and blow people up and Apple has let them be. Are we to believe that graphically simulating drone strikes is not crude or objectionable, while textually reporting on real drone strikes is?

Willingham was convicted by expert testimony that later turned out to be pseudoscience. This is terrible but it's easy to see how it can fool a court system, and easy to see how close-minded people can later discount contradictory expert testimony.

Yes, if everything was available online, it would take out the exclusivity of the major festivals (which also act as markets for films without distribution). Why brave Park City in January if you can just fire up the web browser and see everything. But this also works into the filmmakers favor if they make it into these festivals; over a week or weekend they can make some very important connections face to face even if their film isn't picked up, as well as gain valuable audience reaction that can be used to revise and tweak before release.

And there's really nothing like spending a week watching 3-5 films a day with enthusiastic crowds.

It's supposed to be "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt". Supposedly the only evidence was another person's testimony, who was going to get the death penalty if they didn't (i.e., they were compelled). Even without being compelled, it's still reasonable to believe that the person may be lying. There must be more to this....

Mr. Money Mustache's blog tells the story of how to live a life free from worry about earning money, by obsessively worrying about the money implications of every decision in your life. So, this post is par for the course.

The author of the referenced article makes the point that there is more to being young than saving money. Mr. Money Mustache counters that if you don't worry about saving money when you're young, you'll have less of it when you're older. These two opinions are in violent agreement! It's almost a tautology.
You're absolutely right but a lot of people do think this way. That regardless of crime or evidence, the state has no authority to take a life.

Not necessarily. It's not clear that Apple's rules were reasonable. If the dev unit is identical to the production ones then an NDA is unreasonable unless it was only under NDA until an embargo.
Modifying /usr isn't THAT unusual.
Here is an opposite viewpoint:

What if increasing government requirements are just not achievable? The laws are written by politicians, not engineers. If car companies are being asked to meet unreasonable performance metrics, what other choice do they have?

Cars have gotten a lot more efficient, I can get a 1.5L engine that puts out over 150hp. A 2L 4 cylinder engine can put out over 200hp!

These are huge savings compared to what used to just a decade ago, but they are still apparently not good enough to meet government requirements.

I understand that part of VW's cheating was a cost saving measure, but with all the talk about every car manufacturer doing it, one has to one, if 10 different people all independently come up with the same solution, maybe there is a problem?

Well, two years ago I tried to report a few fairly critical security vulnerabilities on update.windows.com and they responded saying it wasn't an issue. I'd consider denial of service, buffer overflow, possible remote code execution (didn't test because I didn't want to make MSFT mad), and sensitive configuration information enumeration critical vulnerabilities. Especially on update.microsoft.com, which distributes Windows updates. But apparently they don't. So who knows.

I'm not saying the OP's link is a result of these vulns being exploited, but them being exploited is always a possibility in the future if it hasn't already happened or been fixed.
Maybe you're thinking of something else, but in my experience when people talk about developers "acting like entitled children" it's because those developers got screwed over by Apple for no good reason, exhausted every internal avenue for redress, and decided to take their grievance public. (Been there, done that.)

At least it's a breath of fresh air to see Apple smacking somebody down for an actual, legitimate violation, instead of the usual imagined nonsense they do.
