You're right, but he's also right. 16GB base is a pretty poor experience in my experience. I'm constantly having to manage my apps and uninstall ones I don't need or use to free up space for a relatively small photo library (with most of it in iCloud Photos). It's a constant balancing act.

Then again, it's livable, and it's just annoying enough to make me want to upgrade to 64GB, so in that sense it's an ideal product segmentation for Apple, and in the end I don't mind paying what amounts to $50 more on contract for the 64GB version for the increase in utility it gains me.

Pretty brilliant when you think about it.

Sounds about right. I work at a company a lot of people are trying to work for. We had a rash of Googlers interviewing with us not too long ago. Turned out, most of them weren't actually interested in the work we do. Instead, they were trying to get counter offers to stay at Google. Brutal.

Likewise, I've seen our recruiters shit themselves trying to sell candidates because they had a competing offer from another A-list company. Getting competing offers is excellent leverage to maximize your starting salary / equity.

No, it was the right response. "I get paid for a 40 hour week. Nothing substantial comes to me if I work more. If the company does very well, I might get a relatively small bonus."

There isn't the same payoff for working nights as there is for the entrepreneur. The entrepreneur's risk can pay off big time. The employee's risk rarely pays off, and when it does, it's paltry in comparison.

In the U.S. in the 70s children were exposed to media and other exercises with similar themes. In retrospect they were some pretty scary concepts (although nowadays my kids have to deal with "shelter in place" exercises at their own schools thanks to guns).

In my elementary school we didn't do "duck and cover" but we did have to regularly go down in lines to the basement which was an official "fallout shelter" of our city. In the mid-70s I remember being shown a film in school about a society living underground owing to some unexplained environmental catastrophe, and for her birthday a young girl is allowed to go aboveground in a spacesuit with a guide to explore an abandoned city. One of the scenes showed a museum with exhibits like "North American Squirrel - Extinct 1984".

In the early 80s there was a hullabaloo about a TV film showing the impact on Lawrence, Kansas, after a US-Soviet nuclear war. The pundits warned parents not to let kids watch it, yet we kids had grown up with the implicit threat of nuclear war hanging over our heads. Of course I watched it, and was not too surprised about what it I saw on the screen ...

They didn't mention whether that price included the PRC processing fee, but if it did that's not a terrible deal for having expedited it in the States.

The big power requirement of VTOL is not the problem in the overall energy budget because the hovering time is very short compared to the total flight time. Main problem is the additional weight of the more powerful engines.

A rational person seeks consistency and doesn't treat every instance of the same problems as different problems deserving their own interpretation and stance toward.

I'm slowly starting to grasp why the system is so complex. People with the resources to make important decisions lack the intellectual rigor necessary to reach a general understanding of things. That's how we end up with legal systems exceeding the complexity of spacecraft software.

Perhaps it's my own shortcoming, but for any given script I write, I find that, say, 20% of all my code is productive, and the remaining 80% is massaging the output of one tool into a shape that's compatible with the input of the next tool. Compare with the exprience of using Windows PowerShell where cmdlets return objects and you can grab precisely the fields you want with minimum ceremony.

Things are better now with builtin tests, but god help you if you need to use /bin/[ and you end up with idioms like 'if ["x$foo" = "x$bar"]' so that bad things don't happen if $foo starts with a dash, or either variable is empty.

It gets even more fun when you look at the amount of cruft around terminal emulators themselves, and the support for legacy terminals in the command line. Why do modern versions of OSX still ship with /usr/lib/libtermcap.dylib?

> you should be installing packages via your OS's installation mechanism.

My OS's install mechanism downloads the source tarball. It does authenticate the download, of course. The point being you don't know what platform someone is using, and the source may be the only way they can install PostgreSQL.

> PostgreSQL wants

It doesn't matter what they want - if the source is available for download, it will be used. Unauthenticated downloads are an "attractive nuisance" that puts users at risk. The actual download links[1] at www.postgresql.org do use https, but the HTML that contains the download URLs irresponsibly redirects https requests back to http. While the download of the actual source tarball is authenticated, the URL to that download can easily be modified in transit.

There's no known precedent for the use of the All Writs Act in the manner the FBI attempted to use it this time:

https://www.apple.com/pr/pdf/32_Law_Professors.pdf

"No court has ever issued a valid order that imposes an equivalent burden on
a non-party. Our research has not found any case that uses the All Writs Act to require a
third-party private entity to design and create new software. Some courts have compelled
disclosure of already-existing information in cases where the All Writs Act is found
applicable. In contrast, the order the government demands in this case would require
substantial expenditures of time and talent above and beyond what is appropriate under
the All Writs Act. This point is particularly alarming where Apple has made a deliberate
decision to exclude the features that the government now demands."
>Long holds on mobile are excruciating interactions for people, and 3D touch fixes that

But it doesn't provide an easier way to access long hold functionality, instead of provides different functionality that could be activated accidentally instead of long hold functionality.

e.g it doesn't make deleting apps less tedious, it instead adds a shortcut menu you might activate by accident when trying to delete the app.

While it's true that many disfranchised individuals turn extremist it's also true that just as many of those who do are very privileged.
People don't decide to join ISIS because they are poor, the do so because they are influenced to do it in a very methodical and well financed way.

Hah, I'm exactly the same, and not just with this, with everything. I just have a hard time retrieving things by index when prompted, and I envy people who can just recall interesting/funny things that happen to them. Things happen to me too, I just have to be reminded of the situation to recall it, I can't just go "funny thing? Ah yes, I remember X".
Going to have to agree here.
And yet everything you're writing shows the exact opposite. Gender identity and sexuality, for example, are orthagonal. A common misconception. One can be assigned male at birth, be genderqueer, and be primarily attracted to those who were assigned female at birth.

There is nothing special treatment about having the ability to identify yourself as yourself.

And discrimination is very real, from being fired for being trans/genderqueer to being murdered for being trans/genderqueer.

Heightening visibility by, e.g., providing an option on a salary survey, helps fight against the very real violence that the LGBTQ community still experiences.
