As long as there's an adapter that provides a headphone jack, I don't see a problem in removing the onboard headphone jack.

The bigger problem lies with the use of Lightning to begin with, rather than a standard like USB type-C. That would solve the power problem: adapters exist to split out power and other ports from a single type-C port. It would also solve the "only works with" problem, since normal USB headphones would work, or analog-over-type-C devices; that, unfortunately, makes it far less likely to happen on an iDevice.

I look forward to incredibly thin Android devices with nothing except type-C, though.
If it's income inequality, then why are most terrorists highly educated and relatively well off?
How does the author go from "Apple shouldn't get rid of the perfectly fine headphone jack" to "The truth is we need a new standard for headphones, and we haven’t figured out what that is yet."?
The mobile device bar is particularly annoying while working split screen on laptop; vertical space is already very tight.
There's a difference between the stated motive of ISIS and what enables them to exist and grow. I have a hard time believing that they can be so effective in their recruitment efforts with a message based entirely on an interpretation of an old book. It is more plausible to me that they prey on desperate, mentally unwell, and disaffected people to join their cause.
I believe strongly that income increases have largely been to track to cost of living, in places where cost of living has remained flat, amazingly enough, incomes also remain flat.

I'm also dubious of the negative effects of deregulation of the airlines and rail/trucking industries - because of the machinations of the ICC Railroads broadly almost ceased to be a going concern.
"We need a new standard for headphones, and we haven’t figured out what that is yet."

Bluetooth stereo headsets have been available for years. It's time for the all-wireless phone - wireless charging, wireless everything else. Waterproof, too.

Are people still using iDweebs with their silly white wires?

Excel is also the Mother of all list-making apps. From Spolsky (May 2000):

> When we were designing Excel 5.0, the first major release to use serious activity-based planning, we only had to watch about five customers using the product before we realized that an enormous number of people just use Excel to keep lists. They are not entering any formulas or doing any calculation at all! We hadn't even considered this before. Keeping lists turned out to be far more popular than any other activity with Excel. And this led us to invent a whole slew of features that make it easier to keep lists: easier sorting, automatic data entry, the AutoFilter feature which helps you see a slice of your list, and multi-user features which let several people work on the same list at the same time while Excel automatically reconciles everything.

I disagree. What makes a list a list (and not a group of cool shit) is that the list itself has (probably a lot) more value than the individual items. I'd argue the case that this is very rarely true of Pinterest boards, and Pinterest probably would also given the fact that it seems generally as a user you're confronted with a mashup of items from other people's boards, and not as often do you land on the board itself as a curated collection.
If you want to develop a new connector, just use fucking MagSafe. Watertight phones without a way for water to enter, easier cleaning because no dirt in your pants can sneak into the connector, and if you trip on your headphone wire (or the cat plays with it), the phone won't go down with the headphones.
People who hold to your preferred cause are the only sane ones, and everyone else is "merely playing politics." Cool.

Or maybe, just maybe, the real world is a little more complex than that. Maybe it is Islamic extremism and climate change and income inequality and a thousand other things all interacting with each other.

I don't doubt that Piketty is using ISIS to advance his agenda, because that's what people do. Everybody everywhere is using ISIS to advance their agenda. Piketty uses it to support his ideas about income inequality, and Sam Harris uses it to support his ideas about Islam.

Ultimately, pointing fingers does nothing. The question is, what do you do now to fix things? I don't see anything actionable on that front coming out of the "Islamic extremism" cause.
What would you call this, and what do you consider radical?

I think it describes the nature of it things like "radical honesty". Honesty is just the same old virtue and approach we all know, just interpreted slightly differently and taken to an extreme.
I'd say that the factors are anything but consistent. The closest thing to consistency is the personal desire for an all-encompassing identity, being a part of something bigger than one's self, and being raised in a society or culture that reveres illiberalism and the combination of religion and state.
How could you charge your phone and listen to music simultaneously?

There could be two lighting ports. After all, there is currently a lighting port and a 3.5mm jack, so why would replacing the jack with a lightning port be out of the question?

But what if I want to play music at a party?

Use Bluetooth.

But my current set of headphones won't work!

Get a new pair. Think that's ridiculous? Most people buy new headphones pretty often, it's not that hard to imagine that in a year's time when the iPhone 7 comes out that people who don't currently have Bluetooth headphones (which would work anyway) or a lighting port compatible set of headphones that aren't satisfied with the set that ship with the iPhone (probably not an overwhelming percentage) wouldn't buy a new set.

I won't pretend to know why everything is so fucked right now but I will make 2 points:

1) In general, the people actually doing the killings are far removed from the organization's leadership.

Here's an interesting piece on individual Isis fighters: http://www.thenation.com/article/what-i-discovered-from-inte...

2) Usually when someone is upset, they're very bad at articulating the actual thing that is upsetting them. Often when someone is upset, they'll say (and think) it's about something that is actually unrelated but happened to come right before the outburst of pent up frustration. To me, Islamism is a suspiciously rational explanation for completely irrational violence. Islam's pretty old, the book hasn't changed, but we're seeing a big spike in coordinated terror against civilians in the last couple years.

I'm going to have to go with Mohammed on this one, look him up, he's the picture of ISIS, child rapist, murderer, enslaver, and all around shitty guy.

Most Muslims realize he's not someone to be emulated, ever.

Also, it takes a lot of citizens producing surpluses in support of these ideals to field an effective army of any size, so not all Muslims can be members of the ISIS Army most have to settle for paying taxes, etc, in support of the ideals they agree with, like executing people for apostasy, homosexuality, etc.
> HTTP/2 is not TLS-only, even though major browsers will only use it over TLS.

Which in practice will (hopefully) make it TLS-only. As I recall, one of the original motivations to require TLS, and one of the reasons browsers plan to mandate TLS (apart from the obvious), was specifically to avoid broken "transparent" proxies.

> And even when over TLS, the TLS connection might terminate in a separate machine, it going cleartext the rest of the way.

If the server uses a TLS frontend device and passes cleartext to a backend, then apart from that being a really bad idea from a security perspective, they should know better than to allow that to pass through a broken transparent proxy.
Reasonable?
The Roma people are probably poorer than the average European muslim.

"Ah, gee, I really hate Planned Parenthood, and it's a good thing they exist, because if they didn't I'd have just as much reason to shoot up a theater instead."

Maybe crazy, uneducated people are shooting up places, but the places they shoot up are disproportionately the target of religious shaming, an activity with little rational basis or utility other than the spawning insular communities who willfully shun education and moderation.
No. No I would not murder dozens of innocent people. There's a lot of poverty in the world and the vast majority of the impoverished do not commit such atrocities.
It could contribute to it but seems to miss... idk.. the whole history of the Middle East post Western involvement. The patterns we see today in the Middle East go back to around 1900 or so with attempts of imperialists to hit them, divide them, turn them into indentured servants, and take their resources. Combine that with religious, ethnic, power-related, and financial aspects over decades to get a huge mess. So, I'd be looking at money, power, religion, and typical politics as a start.

Looking at that, I see the same trends that relate to violent regime change and terrorism over there that I always see. It usually involves a Western power (esp U.S.) covertly screwing with a country to cause a regime change or battles between them + eastern country (esp Russia) for influence/resources. The radical ideology and funding put in by Saudi Arabia comes into play. The damage and power vacuums from an invasion in Iraq and Afghanistan fuels it, literally with fuel & weapons. ;) Arab Spring and aftermath of that may have been the final straw setting things in motion.

All in all, looks more like Western imperialism, local dictatorships, and religious sect (esp Saudi-promoted) combining to create a disaster that leads to many innocents being beaten, raped, tortured, and murdered over there with a few in the West, too. Same stuff, same area, different country and year.

And, unlike international media, most of the Western media is consistently avoiding the U.S. imperialism and Saudi Arabia angles. Just like they did for Iraq. Just like for 9/11. The problem isn't income inequality: it's countries sabotaging other countries with corrupt ideology, covert actions, and overt war. The result is what CIA types call "blowback." We call it tragedy but they won't let dots be easily connected.

The Great Framework Debate, Part Two
I can't speak for SF, but for a single person at least, $125k/yr is easily doable in NYC. Sure, you won't have a spacious loft all to yourself in SoHo perhaps, but you'll get by just fine on that salary.

Now if you're talking about raising a family on a single income of that much, that's a different story...
Non issue.

One word - adapter.
There is no reason why both Piketty's and ISIS' rationale can't both be true. ISIS's eschatological religious propaganda wouldn't have nearly the resonance and recruiting power it does if it weren't for the current state of political and economic inequality in the middle east.

Also, while the Planned Parenthood shootings are tragic, they are not widespread and frequent enough to be attributed to an aggregate measure such as income inequality.

Edit: removed my comment about how we'd have to have Christian armies rising in the US to have a situation comparable to ISIS. Apparently that rubbed some the wrong way.
First, it's extremely complicated. Second, yeah, it's probably a mixed bag, some probably sincerely believe in their ideology and think that blowing themselves up is a good deed, others are in it for money or other reasons. What has been proven (pretty strongly at this point) is that it's the M.O. of many terrorist organizations to recruit men from poor households... and they tell them after they're dead from the suicide bombings, they'll sustain their families monetarily. To the would-be suicide bombers, this seems like a good rational choice within the reality of their situation: struggling families, living in desolate conditions with not much hope in sight.

The matter of the fact is, a lot of these poor families that are approached by recruits would tell the recruiters to fuck off if they were not in such hopeless conditions.
Oh I was sure the syntax was ok in both forms. I'm guessing it's a GLR revision. It's indeed better to to reserve {} for scalar containers.

Notice how in Perl 6 you get a nice error message:

$ perl6 -e 'my %h = { foo => "bar" };'
Potential difficulties:
Useless use of hash composer on right side of hash assignment;
did you mean := instead?
at -e:1
------> my %h = { foo => "bar" }⏏;
Maybe because the Planned Parenthood shooter specifically mentioned "no more baby parts"? And Planned Parenthood has been HEAVILY featured in the media this last year, falsely painted by the christian right as a baby-killing organization?
As long as there's an adapter that provides a headphone jack, I don't see a problem in removing the onboard headphone jack.

Well, you have to keep track of an adapter, which you can easily lose or forget to bring with you.
I want to see wireless waterproof :D
Why is there even a question over this? Combined with an adapter for existing headphones this is the solution.
> if you have enough money you can just throw all common courtesy out the window?

Empirically, the answer appears to be "yes".
Last sentence is an excellent point. This is a group of groups of groups. Acting like ISIS is one entity with one set of attributes is like claiming the same for the workforce of a city. They're one thing in one way with similar goals, direction, and activities but substantially different in other ways.
He is not positing a general theory of income inequality and extremism merely offering a hypothesis for recent extremism in the middle east. Saying "I think X is the cause of Y in country Z" is not the same thing as saying X is always the cause of Y in all countries all the time.
on adapter vs thicker phone, I'd much rather choose thicker phone.

Yeah, I agree with this idea as well.

Pinterest boards are basically visual unordered lists with the default view of Pinterest bring focused on the items users can create lists with rather than of the particular lists on the site.
Okay, and why is Islamic extremism taking root and spreading?

It's like a body, you've got loads of bacteria all over your body, including some nasty MRSA stuff on your skin. This isn't normally a problem. But sometimes something can trigger a situation where the bad bacteria can spread and literally eat your body.

ISIS would be a footnote in an odd corner of the world if it weren't for favorable conditions for them to flourish.

This very much includes Islamic extremism as their call to legitimacy as a caliphate resonates with far too many.

It is absolutely not a red herring to point to the root conditions for ISIS success. It's incorrect if one thinks it's ONLY income inequality, compared to an interplay of conditions (Iraq destabilization, income inequality, Islamic extremism, and geopolitical machinations providing a destabilized Syria amongst them).
There is a lot of extremely opinionated and pointed discussion going on in these comments.

How many of you read the article?

How many of you read the original article, the one published in Le Monde, in French?

I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the people here criticizing what Piketty is saying don't even know what he is saying.
Wait, most universities don't offer summer classes? Where I went to school there were fewer students enrolled over the summer, but that just meant campus was a bit less crowded, not that it was a ghost town.

Rent is high because home-buying credit is scarce. Banks are still gun-shy about lending, so only people with stellar credit or who are borrowing a small percentage of their earning power can get home loans right now. Which has caused REITs and other PE organizations to come in and buy up real estate to fill the gap -- and REITs are not interested in dealing with "affordable" rental units and the social problems that often come along with them. So they market their buildings as "luxury" and attach a high price tag.

This has led to a couple of side effects: a shortage of rental units (and the associated high rental prices), a shortage of qualified buyers (people aren't able to roll the equity from their starter house into a new home because they never bought the starter house), and an extreme shortage of new construction at the low end of the market (the only people who can even qualify to buy today are upper-middle class).

We're still not out of the subprime quagmire yet. The rental market in the US was sized for a world where subprime mortgages existed -- and now that they largely don't, those people have to live somewhere.

Regardless, "affordable" housing will not exist unless it is subsidized by the government. The private sector has no interest in renting to the low-income segment when the "up-market" segment is lower cost, higher margin and has significantly lower legal risk.
No doubt that for some the motivation is financial, but do you think that the motivation for the 1000+ people who left from Europe to join IS in Syria the motivation is financial? Do you think that for the guy who drives a bomb truck in Syria the motivation is financial?

This is not about putting blame anywhere, but about acknowledging an essential piece of the puzzle so that the problem can be solved. Note that I used to think as you do but a couple of months ago I started to do some research into what actually motivates terrorists and groups like ISIS and I came to the conclusion that a huge part of it is religious. That theory simply fits the facts much better than any other.
Apple made the last iPod shuffle so small that it was a bad design. The super tiny design couldn't be operated easily when running and it was hard to press the buttons. The "next track" button was moved so close to the headphone jack that my fingers couldn't actually get in there to click it (the headphone jack used to be on the other side of the device).

They trimmed a few millimeters off the edge of the device so that the clip used to clip it to your clothing could no longer be operated easily. My fingers kept slipping off the clip when trying to operate it.

The previous model iPod shuffle was, I think, one of the finest designed consumer electronics ever - it didn't need anything changed. But Apple just had to go make it smaller.

Apple seems to have come to believe that smaller is better when in fact there is an optimal size and any smaller is detrimental to usability. Apple doesn't understand the concept of "the right size", all it wants to do is stroke its own ego by making things smaller.

I miss that old iPod shuffle design. I would have kept buying them buy they are no longer available, and I'm not going to buy the crappy new useless super tiny design.
Many Muslims are subject to extreme indoctrination and brainwashing regarding the metaphysics of martyrdom. Jihadist imams have figured out the virality of this particular meme, and the environment in which it may take root.

Depressed economic conditions end up gifting jihadist recruiters with more reasons for individuals to join up and become a martyr.

> Think of Perl5 and Perl6 as American English and British English

This is a bit pedantic, but I think a better analogy might be Dutch and German - similar roots, but where fluency in one doesn't confer fluency in the other.

Granted, I haven't touched Perl 6 so the magnitude of difference I'm estimating is based off of a very superficial impression.

Python 2 & 3 might be somewhat akin to American & British English.

> It almost surely would have been better for Perl5 if Perl6 hadn't had 'Perl' in its name

Agreed. From a distance, there's definitely the sense that Perl5 was sacrificed for the benefit of Perl6.
Just out of curiosity, when did lists become a medium in their own right? To me, they're a formatting choice. Are 'lists' a thing?
ISIS is a fundamentalist millenarian dead cult making up some thousands of people, the question and the issue is why they haven't been run out of the areas where they operate by the ordinary people that live there, and their existing power groups. It is completely uncontroversial that ISIS are substantially tapping into existing and real sectarian grievances in the area. In Syria, that is down to a lack of development in rural Sunnis areas, and human rights abuses by the Shia-led regime. In Iraq, it is down to the loss of power of Sunni groups after the fall of Saddam, and the transition in power and patronage towards the Shia majority. Just saying over and over again that ISIS is evil is just repeating an obvious truth, the question is how do explain their success, and how do you undercut their power base, and a substantial part of that is to do with the allocation of money and power for the Sunni areas in Syria and Iraq.
