You're right that its percentage based, so there may be a slight bias toward higher priced items, but I haven't seen it. I bought a recommended non-stick pan off thesweethome yesterday, and they explicitly talk about price range being good to go a bit cheaper and just buy a new one more often, rather than a more expensive one (to minimize the effects of wear that hit even expensive ones). So they recommend a cheaper pan than they could have.
Prince was also big into the 432 Hz thing vs. 440. 432 on guitar feels a little nicer overall but I like to play along to radio / DJ mixes for fun & practice and being at 432 feels off to me, so I stick with 440. 432 is good on acoustic, but then again open tuning sounds good on acoustic no matter if using 432 or 440.

Gamers are high end consumers

They really aren't. PC gamers hang out on Reddit and other forums trading info about how to build a PC from commodity parts in order to get the absolute best price/performance ratio. It's not hard at all to put together a machine for less than a thousand dollars that would be competitive with the machines Apple sells for three thousand.

There's no margin for Apple in this space.
That's true for various reasons such as benefits expectations (some of it the result of union negotiations historically) and tax effects. [1] There's also the theory, which may not be especially true as I understand it, that preventative medicine like regular physicals can cut healthcare costs down the road. In any case though, I'm pretty sure that annual physicals and the occasional stitches or urgent care visit aren't huge contributors to overall healthcare costs.

[1] And certainly things like dental insurance are pretty much just "extended warranties" rather than insurance against catastrophic expenses.

Your response was also short on details with regards to your major point, quoted above.

Meanwhile, here are the points from the article. Like Ballmer, Tim Cook:

- is an executor, not a visionary.

- doubled revenue while also doubling profit for his company.

- announced very few new products.

- has the same kinds of challenges (facing disruption).

- lacks passion for the product.

- takes things personally.

Gamers market is a completely different animal. The hate towards Apple products in that market is spread across it, even if Apple releases a great and powerful computer for gaming - most of the high end gamers would not buy it just because they have an anti mac mentality. On top of that high end gamers want customizability when building their PC, Apple can not possibly support many different model and brands of motherboards, processors, ram etc...

> var's function scope is a feature! You don't have to place variable declarations in the header! (they are hoisted) Placing the var declarations where they are used makes the code easier to understand.

For the vast majority of variables, you don’t need hoisting (i.e. you can declare them in the appropriate scope and only end up using them after the declaration).

> The point of constructor functions is not having to write new.

Um, what? This is completely wrong. You have to write new with constructor functions unless you specifically add code to check whether you’re in a constructor and re-call with new, which is bad practice.

> Async programming is hard, but not because of callbacks. Promises is just a wrap around callbacks, witch just adds complexity and more boilerplate. It will get better with async/await but I will still prefer simple callbacks.

No, async/await is just a wrapper around promises. Promises are pretty great overall, and if your Promise code looks like callbacks then you might be using them wrong. (I would always use bluebird[1] over native promises, though.)

I agree with you that large parts of ES6 add unnecessary complexity, but I don’t think your examples are well-chosen.

It seems that getting information out of a gravity well is much easier than mass. There's a bit of a bootstrapping problem to to develop the initial infrastructure, but once in place it would be much simpler to just build in space.

The problem with that of course is that terrestrial refineries and factories are highly soecialized to their products, which means multiplies the amount of base inf needed to construct even simple materials. If orbital manufacturing emerges, I think it would need to adopt a new paradigm of custom fabrication such as with 3d printing and similar technologies.

That's not your, or Snowden's worry. The law doesn't say you have to reveal criminal activity - only IF you feel it's a benefit overall.

If the organization had real internal controls, or was under the control of government at all, Snowden could have used those channels and could have been expected to. But as soon as he fears they won't work he must do whatever he can.

That's a complete BS, I want you to give me an example of that. Less than a thousand dollar desktop vs 3000$ mac.

Now re laptops. My PC friends keep telling me that MacBooks are overpriced And that you can get a faster PC laptop for half the price, but as soon as they start giving me examples like razor blade or some msi laptops, they quickly starting to see that base models of those cost > 1500$ and to get decent specs for gaming you have to shell out upward of 2000$, so in the end you are paying the same money you pay for MacBook.
We're doing a lot more than just SVG support. Our goal is to make them as easy to use as icon fonts. That means you can auto-inherit color, size, drop-shadow, etc. And more.

(And the SVG font file format automatically flips the icons. So you'd need to invert. TOTALLY doable, if with a good bit of effort.)
> The simplest argument against this is the casual way your typical garage bands tune. Not everyone is busting out the tuners and dialing up 440 Hz, when the guitar player figures out they're out of tune with the bass they just tune up to wherever they're at. With strings stretçhing, drop D tuning, and tuning down a half step, most bands would have hit the 'magic' 432 Hz every other practice and would have stayed there if it had any special properties. And this isn't just me and my buddies in the garage but musicians of nearly every style, genre, and background around the world. We'd revolt if we found our magic 432 Hz and then some clown brought a keyboard in that was at 440 Hz. This simply doesn't happen.

I don't really understand what you're saying here. If you tune casually by ear, then of course when a digital keyboard comes in at 440 you will be off. Maybe higher, maybe lower. But you will be off. Unless you're saying 440 has some "special properties"...

- Containers crashing and corrupting all data on the mounted directories [from the host drive]

- Worldwide outage of docker.com killing all CI pipeline in the world for 7 hours straight

- More critical linux kernel bugs destroying the docker host

- Major breaking changes in docker and docker API (usually between all minor versions), breaking all existing stuff

- Randomly dropping critical features, distribution and filesystem support (to the point where there is actually NO filesystem supported by Docker on some distribution. No kidding xD)

- Various DNS fuckups (special issues on Ubuntu)

- No build-in commands to free disk space of old containers/images (this one is major hassle)
To play devil's advocate a bit - if Best Buy sold a Windows 7 laptop that didn't have auto-update turned on by default, and the system gets hacked 3-4 years later from lack of patching, did Best Buy release a negligently insecure IoT device? Did Microsoft release a negligently insecure IoT device by not forcing auto-updates by default? Should users truly own their IoT products and have the ability to turn off auto-updates?

This is a very thorny problem.
What kills me on sites like reddit are the 'quippy one-liners' in response to arguments. You might write something rationally-crafted, careful to support your conclusion, and someone will respond with a funny-to-them sarcastic sentence, intended to totally obliterate the argument.

That's really why HN is the only place I comment.
I think this is utterly irresponsible and disrespectful to charge for the SVG icon set like this since it only harms usability and disabled users, which is the main reason people are migrating away from icon fonts in the first place.

The real question is how much of it was because of him. They assume it was him that made these changes but that's ignoring the data leak of over 100,000,000 government employees personal information, plus the University of Maryland hacks, and probably 2 dozen other high profile hacks since then. To credit the changes to him, you would have to shove that those events (individually or collectively) had no effect on privacy concerns. I would venture to guess it was the multitude of hacks that led to increased privacy concerns, since 90% of what he revealed wouldn't be defeated by using current encryption methods or changing your password... I mean what is the count on the FBI "breaking" TOR? 3x in the past year that went public?

Yes, Google added encryption but only because they were afraid of losing a competitive edge. They will still gladly sell all the information they collect (by monitoring emails, texts, phone calls, etc - which their right to monitor was defended in a district court) provided you have enough money. They are first and foremost an advertising agency. All their other services and products just serve to give them more sources of information.
