> "which counters the thinness of the phone which was the justification for why the headphone jack is gone"

Er, at what point did Apple justify the removal of the headphone jack with thinness? The 7 has the same thickness as the 6/6S. They've put many justifications out there, but to my knowledge "thinness" has never been one of them.

The way I view it, Gruber reviews Apple products for people who already love Apple products. He has a broad understanding of Apple and brings a well-thought perspective to many things without getting stuck on comparing products to those in competing ecosystems. Personally I put a lot of value in Gruber's reviews, because he has a similar perspective to the products that I do. But that's going to be a important part of any review - matching perspectives.

I do actually pay for content. And I do so gladly.

But the fundamental problem with ads is that, even when they are unobstrusive, don't invade my privacy and don't compromise my security, they still are inherently manipulative and therefore unethical. The Internet was designed to exchange information. How I then choose to display that information is up to me. Ad-based businesses are tolerated, but have no claim to the internet. I will continue to block every ad I can and businesses will have to adapt, or die. I won't shed a tear for them.
Maximize savings in tax deferred accounts (401ks, IRAs, etc)
Various sources in this article says you're wrong: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/under-the-hood/diagnosing-car-...

Plus also my anecdata. Cars were horrendously unreliable back in the 1970s. It's only because of selection bias that the few reliable cars survived while all the recalled/broken down/junked cars from that era have gone.
I posted a link to Candor[1] last week. Wharton's Adam Grant makes the compelling argument that "group ideation" tends to produce less innovative results. Creativity and shyness tend to be correlated after all. And consensus around a "winner" often forms prematurely due to "anchoring" and "clustering" biases.

By decoupling the two regimes, and perhaps even anonymizing the idea from its creator, you've got a winning chance of allowing team members to unleash their inner Jungian Shadow, and give reign to the daemons of inspiration ;)

> which counters the thinness of the phone which was the justification for why the headphone jack is gone

This is just factually incorrect. Apple gave a lot of reasons why the headphone jack was removed but thinness was never one of them. And it would make no sense for it to be one of them because the iPhone 7 is the same thickness as the iPhone 6 and 6S which have a headphone jack.

I agree Gruber is biased and loves Apple to the point where he will take ridiculous positions (see the EU tax issue) but if you're going to argue, do it from a factually correct point.
I play hearthstone quite a lot and what you are saying is absolutely not true. I'm guessing what you are talking about is that the game let's you play ahead while animations are still running, but the actual effects and results are the same regardless of the animations. It can make it appear that if you play a destroy all effect and then a minion the animation looks like it should destroy it but of course it doesn't since the animation isn't representing the game state.

Unless you are talking about something else and I misunderstand you? Maybe something like the order of deathrattles (they are triggered in order of the cards played, just like the few instances of time-stamp-matters interactions in MTG). Or do you mean how the max minion limit works where "dead" minions are still there during "on damage" effects but not during deathrattles? There is a few nonobvious rules like that, but I'm pretty sure the rules are actually pretty solid and not bugged.
Fully agree with the comment about the quality of Chinese firmware. I spent the best part of a decade working for a UK company producing reference designs for mobile chipsets, which we sold to many Asian clients, and I lost count of the times I had to travel to the Far East to sort out the mess they'd made of the software.

Their philosophy seemed to be to throw as many inexperienced graduates at the problem as they could afford and eventually it would somehow work - as though an infinite number of engineers would eventually produce the works of Shakespeare!
Well i think Atari had to redo his implementation of the Breakout game because they could not make heads or tails of it. But then they likely thought it was Jobs that made it, so...
This is an ad-blocking arms race for sure, but sites like the Washington Post and NYtimes have done a good job dealing with the new ad-blocking 'normal'. The point is that there _are_ things sites can do to deal with this situation. However, the status-quo is not an option.

> It sounds obvious in hindsight, but you can't exactly run 60 atari sims on a gpu.

Why not?

It's certainly easier to run parallel Atari sims on CPU, because CPU programs are typically written as single-threaded or with parameterized number of threads.

Running parallel Atari on GPU is completely possible, with either running an Atari game on the each of ~30 SMs or each of the 32 * n_SMs ~= 1000 warps. However, because GPU code is typically written and delivered as kernels which utilize the full GPU, this type of embarrassing parallelism over SMs or warps typically can't be gained from using an existing library.

DeuSu does not crawl social pages it seems. No traces of linkedin profiles and no facebook. From a certain point of view - this is a good thing.
Time series databases are critical in financial institutions, storing end of day (or much more frequent) marks for example. The advantage of such databases is not just their ability to store temporal data natively, but the built-in functions specific to time-based datasets which would not be atomic in a non-time-based db.

> widespread misconception that the home button will wear out

I don't know if Apple finally fixed that in the iPhone 6, but it was everything but a misconception, I had the problem in my iPhone 3G and iPhone 4s my girlfriend in her 5s. Many friends in different versions of the iPhone.

The home button did break after some use.

This is a classic technique for influencing people. The rule of thumb is nobody likes to be criticized in any situation whatsoever. The worst thing you can do is to tell them they are wrong. One way to get a difficult message conveyed is to get the other person say "yes" a few times before being told things as they are.

That fits my definition of acceptable. I, we, aren't blind to people's need to make money for the time and effort. But we don't want 50% clickbait video poppin up randomly. Same for battery life, etc etc. No JS.

With some fixed not too screamy image smartly positionned, I'd never block ads.

I don't get the logic behind these ads. They really think that shouting red stuff at my face will make me spend time and money ? If someone is looking for something he'll react to subtler cues. If the ad is really relevant (not just word match) to the content, it's even better. But that's a rare oddity.
As the article points out, a phone and data plan cost as much per month as a car payment. Perhaps, just perhaps, millennials simply don't have enough money to afford the equivalent of two car payments a month.

Written in Delphi. I might be wrong but I don't see many people downloading and working on it. 30 day free trial and then you have to pay for the development environment. IMHO it's a non starter for an open source project but if it's the only language the author is comfortable with, well that's OK.
If you think about it, it's like responsive design for your ads. The "responsive" case being to show the nicer ads and the default case being to show the normal obtrusive ads (depending on the user's level of ad blocking).

I'm not saying I outright support, but some ads are useful — The Deck is one example. Amazon's "people who purchased this also purchased" is (kind of) another.
It is usually a good idea to discard late writes. It should be possible to write data with some time-stamp skew but if skew is too large data should be discarded as erroneous. It's totally depends on an application so.
I think New Zealand probably has one of the most streamlined tax systems in the world, at least for the average person.

GST (essentially sales tax) is levied at 15% on all goods and services except for domestic rent and financial services (and one or two rare exceptions that don't apply to the vast majority of cases).

Your income tax rate is figured from a flowchart, it's really simple: https://www.ird.govt.nz/resources/b/f/bf9db1804ba3cfc08a6ebf...

As for tax returns, it's as simple as going online, adding up your interest earned during the year (most banks will do this for you and send it to you) and adding your dividends earned. It's a bit more work if you do any contracting or freelancing, but it's still simple enough that the vast majority of people can do it while drinking a beer or two on a Sunday afternoon.
Thanks for the awesome comment and details.

> show me issues assigned to me or nobody, that are not resolved or closed, ordered by priority

Right now, GitLab orders by priority out of the box on the board. You can filter for yourself or assigned to nobody. Not both, but we're working on improving the filters (including the option to do "NOT X OR Y". [0]

Just create a list with the 'new' label and you should be good, right?

We're thinking about having different types of lists in Boards, such as 'Milestone boards' and 'Status boards'. Something like that could solve some of your requests as well.

Magic preceded the Millennials. It definitely won the hearts and minds of the Gen X gamer crowd first (the ones with the money to burn when the game first came out in the early 90s).

Uber is, fundamentally, no different than taxi services except that it allows average people to become drivers (taxis are either particularly exclusive requiring tests and certifications, or particularly bad like in most non-metropolitan towns that have them). Really, the basic use-case of Uber is what taxis should have done in the first place. GPS tracking + smartphones, they should've been connecting themselves to customers more intelligently. They didn't, Uber came in and swept up their business. That was their own fuck-up in many markets (in some markets the taxi services did do better, but not the majority, most still had traditional hailing or phoning in a taxi request).

Wow, I've been out of the GPU game for a year or two now and it's clear how the market has shifted (or how NVIDIA wants it to move). Back in the day we'd keep asking NVIDIA and AMD for half precision support, looks like not only did they do that by now but there's 8-bit integer support too! I was about to say "well who the heck would be able to use 8-bit integers for much?" when I saw in TFA: "offering an 8-bit vector dot product with 32-bit accumulate."

In case it's not clear from the title (which used to read "...47 INT TOPS"), that's 47 [8-bit integer] tera-operations-per-second. Anandtech says it will "... offer a major boost in inferencing performance, the kind of performance boost in a single generation that we rarely see in the first place, and likely won’t see again." No kidding!
I was on a remote job site where all living expenses were paid (but not entertainment) and there was just NOTHING in the town. The hotel had a nice gym. I was the only person working from my company for quite a period, so I had nothing to do with my free time (the hotel did not have internet access at the time).

So with nothing better to do I thought, time to lose weight. So that's what I did when I wasn't working.

I did not keep the exercise up after the period, but I just wasn't that hungry and the weight stayed off.

You could say my stomach shrank, or metabolism changed, or whatever theory, I just say it as a "reset" to be generic, since I really don't know.

No, I don't think everyone is. A lot of people, maybe. Certainly not most. Definitely not everyone.

And this is HN where I would be pretty confident that most who aren't students make 2x the median household income themselves, and the vast majority make 2x the median individual income.

And even my parents who are objectively working class people will still splurge for special anniversaries and go to a very, very nice restaurant for dinner. And if you're going somewhere that you can only afford once every 5-10 years, you are probably going to read every review you can get your hands on. They become extraordinarily important.
Authorized Capital V/S Paid-up capital
These days I run all the various different services as different VM's, then have a single reverse proxy that points at the various instances. This way I can make sure that I don't accidentally need a newer version of some library than some other app causing conflicts.

I think that donations could be much better spent buying insurance for low-income pet owners than for covering the costs of treatment.

For $40, I could cover a single exam fee for a single pet, or I could cover one month of premiums for the Healthy Paws plan with the lowest deductible. That's how I pay for my own pet's care, and my net savings are in the range of several thousand dollars.

With insurance, you're also able to save pets with time-sensitive (or even emergency) problems.

If that were combined with proper preventative care (similar to the Banfield plans, where people essentially pre-pay for checksup/vaccines/etc.), then you'd have comprehensive coverage for a pet at around $80/month.

Going one step further, if you raised enough money, you could pay for these things using the interest without touching the principal. Each ~$15k raised would cover one additional pet (assuming, let's say, high-dividend index funds).

I understand that your business model is to inspire people to donate by seeing sick pets, but I'm not sure many people go out looking for that kind of thing.
> You can also make a good opinion just by looking at the place from the outside.

Ehh, isn't this textbook "judging a book by its cover"? It tells you nothing about the quality of the food, service, etc. unless you waste a bunch of time scouting out the restaurant.

> Personally, I much prefer to find some good place to eat by myself rather than
> go to the same place as everybody else just because it has a good review.

That's cool, and I don't think you're alone in that. Much of the time though, I don't want to experiment. It feels bad to waste money on a restaurant I don't like. It feels even worse to tell a place their food is so bad that I'd like a refund. There's no winning scenario for me in that instance.

Worse than just being a bad outing, it's an opportunity cost: I have $X and Y hours to spend eating out. Because I wasted an evening at Thai Noodle Place #3, I didn't get to eat at Ethiopian Restaurant #2 that's supposed to be incredible. Especially in NYC, it's not a given that said Ethiopian restaurant will be around next week.

Wasting money and/or time on an awful meal is much less likely if I'm going to a place with good reviews. Still possible, of course, but less likely.

> For movies, it's not different. You can tell from the genre, the director,
> the actors and so on if you may like this movie or not.

Except in this instance you probably don't know the director, the actors, or even the synopsis. You're seeing the movie solely based on the genre, the title, and who else is in line for the movie. Not a strategy I would consistently recommend.
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-09/msg00076.html
So it's better to artificially limit yourself to a particular area or particular type of food, forgoing opportunities to try something outside your established practice, and to limit yourself to particular genres and actors, again forging opportunities to try something new, than to rely on other peoples' opinions in deciding what to try?
