Part of the problem is that Intel has been having issues with delivering new CPU's on time. Intel used to be much better about following their tick-tock model and delivering new CPU's regularly, but over the past couple of years things have been really more miss than hit.

The only thing that Apple could have done is bump the CPU, which would have not gained anything in terms of power savings or any other changes, and means now you have one more model you have to stock replacement parts for.

This has been an issue not just for laptops, but also for their Xeon line-up in servers. Due to manufacturing delays the v4 for the Xeon line-up was released earlier this year, and didn't really get started shipping until April.
The ACA actually makes it very easy to purchase insurance only when you need it (you've moved, your employer drops your coverage), and drop it when you don't (you can go two months per year without insurance without penalty). This is a fundamental flaw in the program.

You must mandate participation through payroll taxes, but also ensure services can be affordably provided to participants. Insurance companies are still raking 20% off total premiums paid; that's money that could go directly into providing care.

Not the OP but I've only used the new Macbook for a few minutes (maybe about 15 in my lifetime), but to my mind, the feel of the new keyboard leaves a lot to be desired. And I personally don't need a computer to be much smaller than the MBA.

I'm personally all for fixing the education system, but the idea that this would fix (or even help) income equality is a fantasy. Denmark is often held up as a model of low-inequality, high-income-mobility, high-education-investment countries. But a recent study indicated that these policies' have zero effect on Danish income mobility and education-attainment mobility relative to the US! Their high levels of equality rely entirely on direct transfers. There's nothing wrong with this per se: despite the costs I'd bear, I wish our system was a little more redistributive, including education investment. But the theoretical positive-sum gains from broadening opportunity regardless of your background are simply not supported by the data. And this is in one of the most income-mobile countries (post-taxes and -transfers) in the world!

I'm not entirely sure that NIMBY is rational with respect to maximizing the value of a real estate investment--wouldn't free construction plus taking out equity loans to build as dense as justified by demand be even better? IMHO, NIMBYism is more of a sentimental phenomenon.
Could you explain the reason?
At about the same time the housing market got decimated as well. It also comes back in more variant ways.

One extreme downside of thinking of your home as an investment vehicle is how poorly it is diversified. It is almost exactly directly correlated to the local job market...and to macro trends like the MBS issues we saw in 2008.
If anything, I'd see this as an example of why basic income is a good idea and people won't be spending their time just drinking their asses off.
This looks interesting :)
What about property taxes? I know people who have paid their house off in full and still pay 12-15 thousand in property taxes each year.

Additionally, even if the house is paid off, you're still on the hook for all repairs, maintenance, etc. And if your neighborhood starts to go down the tubes, your house value can quickly decline as well.

My original statement was that the Mac Pro was a fancy computer case, nothing more. You state:

Which is exactly my point.

In what way? Seriously. You said it was "off the shelf" components and then it somehow has more capable hardware? How does that work? Because it has a unique cooling mechanism?
It's a different story in the US which makes hard to have a comparable conversation unless both parties have intimate knowledge of both environments.

My rent in the US went up $100+ year after year, rent never goes down is the feeling you get and I've never seen or heard of it happening. You never invested anything into the property or building. Buying a home was freedom from that constant rising pressure, moving every 2-3 years to find another move in special and I can finally invest time and effort in my living space.
I don't know what his custom is? Are they Hindu and get cremated or are they Christian and are buried? Because I am pretty sure for the body to travel it will need to be embalmed. You should be able to contact an Airline (Air India?) and arrange transport once the remains have gone through the process. This isn't cheap and can cost quite a bit.

Sentimental Shipments

We understand how traumatic it is to lose a dear one. That’s why we make sure the mortal remains of the deceased are always carried with utmost care and concern.

Besides passport of the deceased, the following documents are required for carriage of sentimental cargo:

Death Certificate from a competent medical authority

Embalming and Packaging Certificate, Certificate issued by Embassy
(Nationality of deceased) with the deceased’s full name,
age at the time of death, place of death and photocopy
of passport details.
Photocopy of cancelled passport,Police certificate.

It is necessary that the above documents are made in English, otherwise the same should be translated in English.

Twitter doesn't suppress trends and there's no way in heck they'd go to the trouble to auto-detect when Scott Adams mentions Donald Trump in a Periscope feed. That would require actual engineering effort (aside from being completely insane) which they don't put into stuff like this. When they want to deal with jerkoffs like Milo, the Trust & Safety team handles it, not their engineers.
Also, in 99% of rentals I've seen, the landlords put in the bare minimum to keep tenants there and paying high rents. Homeowners tend to spend money on their houses to make them nicer.

You are correct in your assessment of the current dangers of DNS poisoning.

I am in no way arguing about ease of any given attack over any other. I am arguing that a proposed change results in an increased level of danger from known attacks.

I'm arguing that the proposed change at hand, keeping DNS records past their TTLs, makes DNS poisoning attacks more dangerous because access to origin servers can be denied. Right now TTLs are a real defense against DNS cache poisoning, and the idea at hand removes that in the name of user-friendliness.

You mean other than the chassis, body panels, doors, undercarriage... Not to mention the question of repair costs and parts availability, both of which are pretty bad. Where are you going to get (say) a replacement for the incredibly complex and unreliable door handle mechanism for the Model S in a few years time once the car's no longer in production? The model-specific battery pack? All the electronics systems based around Nvidia chips that'll be long out of production?

And how is that working out in Berlin now? Rents in Prenzlauer Berg and Neukölln increasing significantly every year. There wasn't a need to buy before because rent was dirt cheap. That's changing fast. It's obviously going to push out those who are poor but perhaps this will lead to more people realising the benefits of owning property.
That was all you took away from this? You didn't say it on TV, either. Chances are, I wasn't talking specifically about the one single data point that is 'a3n', but on a broader, societal level.
Yeah, this specific idea might only work well if you're using a password manager. But it was only an example. It could be something as simple as, "You've never submitted a secure form to this site. Please check the address carefully." If you think it's Gmail, that would be an unexpected alert.

At my workplace we hire a company to do occasional phishing attacks on employees. If you get got (I have been got) you are briefly made to feel foolish and have to do a training course.

The thread is about marginal rates. My actual average tax rate right now in Quebec is a bit over 30%
Companies often issue common stock long after IPO. Tesla famously did this earlier this year in order to finance an accelerated release schedule for the Model 3. Companies undergoing temporary financial trouble also issue common stock. The major banks issued large amounts of common stock during the 2008 financial crisis. Most have not yet repurchased the issued stock.

Technically and in the extremely specific case, yes, buying stock on the market doesn't create jobs for anyone. However, the liquidity of stock in the aggregate is one part of the confidence of the financial system. Upon IPO, buyers of the stock need to know they can sell their stock on the market after it fulfills their objectives.

The problem with that is that space stations and whatnot aren't designed to be fun as you go through them. Games are supposed to be fun. It would be incredibly misguided for a game designer to design the level around a real-world location first and then add the puzzles and enemies. Do you have "fun" walking through the halls of your doctor's office or through your local water treatment plant? There's a reason why they don't do exactly what you're suggesting.

It's still a very early project, trying to figure that out myself too! A very first working implementation can take the intersection between the functions the bot can perform (since otherwise it'd be meaningless to list it as an executable function) and the nodes in the kb. So those marked nodes would be the "trigger" that once called, will traverse the graph to collect the relevant functional arguments (or ask the human for missing info otherwise). Easier said than done of course, still quite a lot of details to flush out.
I like your tool. This is just a random use case opinion of 1 - I liked the old Named Entity Recognizer because I could copy and paste the list into Wordpress as Tags. The new way seems cooler, but I can't do anything with it. Either way, keep up the great work!
Not only that, but in the future when async/await lands (or right now if you are willing to compile and can put up with potential breakage), for-of becomes a godsend.

The lack of inner functions means that you can await during part of a loop without a bunch of fuckery with the inner function with forEach.

A const variable means that variable won't change. So `const int i = 6` means i will never change. But often you'll use pointers or references, these are C++'s way for a variable to point to data elsewhere. You can also make the pointers or references themselves const. Finally, you can make functions const too, which lets you turn C++ into half a haskell.

First pointers and references. For simplicitly I'm going to ignore references and focus on pointers - the difference is not very interesting in this context. In most languages you probably know, referring to objects is done implicitly: variables that "are" objects are actually references to objects located elsewhere, and variables that are primitive types (numbers, booleans, strings) are just right there. Because of this, in JavaScript you can do this:

var a = {};
var b = a;
b.moo = 6;
a.moo === 6; // true

In here, a and b point to some object that "is" neither a or b - the object itself just floats around in memory and it'll exist until neither a, b, nor anyone else points to it anymore and the GC decides it has to go.

In C++, you'll need pointers or references for this, eg.

somestruct a;
somestruct* b = &a; //b now points to a
a.moo = 6;
b->moo == 6; // true

(-> is just C++ shorthand for "follow the pointer and then do a property lookup).

Ok now const.

somestruct const a;
a.moo = 6; // error! can't modify a const.

Ok well how about

somestruct a;
somestruct* const b = &a;
b->moo = 6;
a.moo === 6; // true

This means the pointer is const. That works because we never change where b is pointing to. So how about:

somestruct a;
somestruct const* const b = &a;
b->moo = 6;
a.moo === 6; // true

Oh damn. Crying baby. Const functions will have to wait for some other day.
A tagged template literal is just a special ES6 syntax for calling a function with a specific set of arguments. You could pass a function which returns all of the arguments as an array to see what's passed in. Try the following in the console of a modern browser:

function log(...args) { return args; }
log `abc ${'blah'} fooo\n ${12+3} bar`;

Or you could even shorten the above down to this:

((...args)=>args) `abc ${'blah'} fooo\n ${12+3} bar`;

The expression will evaluate to this:

[["abc ", " fooo\n ", " bar"], "blah", 15]

The first argument is an array of the parts of the literal text, and then the rest of the arguments are the values that were passed in. Additionally, the first argument (the array of string parts) has the `raw` property set to point to an array of string parts with the backslash escapes uninterpreted.

Here's an example re-implementation of `String.raw`:

function raw({raw}, ...values) {
const parts = new Array(raw.length*2-1);
parts[0] = raw[0];
for (let i=0, len=values.length; i<len; i++) {
parts[2*i+1] = values[i];
parts[2*i+2] = raw[i+1];
}
return parts.join('');
}

That's an interesting way of thinking about it, in some cases there is overlap. Both do transmit dopamine and reinforce neural connections.

The Internet Archive's "Internet Arcade" project (https://archive.org/details/internetarcade) is the perfect place to preserve and display these, just as much as it is for old arcade cabinets.

What that implies, though, is that MAME/MESS would need to get over their singular goal of emulating real hardware, and build in support for "abstract" platform-neutral virtual machines that games have been built on: say, ScummVM, or the Z-Machine, or even Shockwave Flash(!).

If they started down that path, they could maybe go further, and also support the execution of low-level game engine "runtimes" like Löve2D.

But go any further than that, and I'd question whether we're really doing "emulation" of a game using an interpreter, rather than shipping a game engine and loading levels in it. With things like the Doom engine—or, say, the RPG Maker 2000 runtime—you get to a the point where, to faithfully run a "game" made with these things, your emulator would have to include the original asset bundle that came with the reference engine. That's not quite an emulator any more.

Maybe what we really need is a Docker-like abstraction for MAME: the ability to have "base images" for game engines, and then "derivative images" that represent projects loaded into those engines—where you only have to load a new "game engine" layer into the emulator when the game you're playing references a version you don't have cached yet.

You could even split things into three layers: a layer for the OS (Windows 95, say); a layer for the game engine; and then a layer for the game project. And the whole thing gets "pulled", revived into a merged container, and then loaded into DOSBox.

I wonder why they decided it was better to design and build an 11x multiplier and a 25x divider rather than cut a 440 kHz crystal and run it with a copy of the 1000x divider electronics they already had.
Wow, you're good. You easily reverse engineered their reverse engineering.
Conceptually I like it, seems like a better route than keyboard mashing then attaching .com to the end when using WiFi that has a captive portal.
It appears that they are doing it for 2 reasons:

1. Using Kickstarter as a way to give PRO users a discount on their normal $40 rate.
2. Using Kickstarter as a way to market/announce their new business model.

If that's indeed why they are doing this as a Kickstarter then its a pretty great way to use Kickstarter, imho!
