I think you're describing New-Age cultists and not serious, pragmatic Buddhists, for example. Calmness is not enforced, passion can and does arise, but one is not attached to calmness nor passion. They simply come and go. This is meditation.
You are missing the real statistics. Only 11% of all apple revenues come from services (app store, Icloud, itunes).

apple makes money from selling phones and computers. If you want to sell a $1,799 notebook (or even $2,399 for the 15 inch version), they need to think on power users.
This is the same problem shared by RedHat customers, although RH is great about backporting features to older kernels, I'm not sure they'll be able to move this to 3.x from 4.9. The price we pay for stability.
I know one common technique for contributors is to put a bitcoin or donation type ID in their profile. This allows for people who see your contributions to go to your profile and give ya something back. Not sure how effective but this is one method I have seen.
is fine as long as it does not affect the business itself, i.e., if they continue to do properly as before their own jobs.

There are other ways things could affect the business. There could be a risk of getting sued, there could be morale issues related to accusations of someone "sleeping their way to the top", there could be reputational problems making the company less attractive to potential new employees, etc.
Right, Assembler only needs an assembler
I was thinking verticals as a whole, not individual companies. The budget for TV, print, radio and so forth tells the size of the market, the fact that there are more players in these verticals than in online search is maybe yet another reason to attack them rather than Google.
Your hands don't have to move around as much to select a toolbar item and you don't have to move your hands up to the screen like a surface. I think the touch bar will be great for productivity.
Locality ≠ COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment)

Locality is to make a job's salary competitive with other job salaries in the local market, whereas COLA is exactly what it sounds like.

Houston has a high locality rate because of all the high-paying jobs there that one could potentially get instead of the govt job.

I work for the govt and receive both locality and COLA, albeit the COLA is way too low in my opinion (Honolulu).
Startup stock options explained (2011)
The upcoming devs never used Linux in the first place. So I highly doubt that. The tools will have to adapt.
You can put aside your personal views at work. I don't give people shit or favor for their views in either direction. It's called being a professional.
On the other side of the spectrum, companies highly averse to technical changes culturally (typical case in the F500) will avoid ever upgrading kernels, libraries, and tooling. It's how I've wound up spending days trying to compile C++11 and C++14 code with toolchains that would run on CentOS / RHEL 5 and 6. Using the JVM lets you side-step the shared library linkage compatibility issues at least, but when you need a new kernel for instrumentation it's an even harder sell to an antagonistic IT department that only wants 2 OSes and corresponding versions to exist in the world ideally - "Linux" and Windows.
I'm reminded that we still don't know conclusively what purpose sleep serves[1]. We know about things unimaginably distant in scale or time -- like quarks and the Big Bang -- but we don't know the answer to something seemingly pedestrian.

Jup. It's build using the Ionic framework. What gave it away?
Net positive to who? Not to the seeder, whose most scarce resource, the battery, is being exploited.
Probably none. Android runs on a different implementation of the JVM called Android Runtime (ART), previously Dalvik.
The Tablet PC. Prompt the usual "Apple did it best". Yes, but they did not innovate on the format.
I agree, in all of Microsoft and Apple's recent moves, the big winner is Ubuntu ( at least, for those in my immediate circle, who want an OS that Just Works )
Just what I said: Voting in person is a ritual. You can take your kids with you and show them the foundation of our democracy, right there at your local polling place. Doing things in person has a different psychological effect.

Whether or not that's enough of a problem to outweigh all the benefits of voting by mail, I don't know. It certainly lowers the actual barriers to voting: You don't need time off work to drop an envelope in a mailbox. But I do worry about the loss of ritual, and what it will do to voter engagement over a few decades.
Every time I check out a new product page of theirs I get these problems. The video players never work or even open, and the horizontal sliders are always broken or sticky. I turned off all my plugins and nothing helps.
> You also have to remember that little kids frequently get sick from things adults are already immune to.

And they also spread things that many adults (and children) are severely impaired by. A "mild" chest infection to you or your child is a cough, to me it's a week in bed and antibiotics.
Wacom releases innovative products all the time, but I don't think that makes Apple's regularly-scheduled update "embarrassing."

Microsoft just blew Wacom out of the water in a niche product market. Great. What does that have to do with new MBPs?
I have a 4k monitor (LG 27UD88-W) that supports USB-C input.

The 12" MacBook drives it at full resolution at an unusable 15 Hz. It drives the screen at 1080P resolution at 60Hz. The laptop charges from the monitor's power supply while plugged in, so I think it is a pretty good setup if only the refresh rate was better at native resolution. The monitor has just two USB 3.0 type A ports so it can be used as a dock. It's no refresh of the thunderbolt display, but it'll do.

Thunderbolt 3.0 runs on USB-C so you can consider this a 4-port thunderbolt machine. USB-C should start catching on now that Apple finally made a decent machine with the port. I was really bummed when the iPhone 7 did not feature USB-C instead of lightning.

I'm optimistic about the new MacBook Pro driving a 4K display at 60Hz. Luckily I will get to order through work and test it out before considering it personally.
In my mind there's very high value in the fact that deviating from that is _difficult_ with Redux. Not only does it keep me honest but if a junior dev jumps into my codebase it's actually work for him to do something sketchy with how he's controlling state.
Elon Musk Is Looking to Kickstart Transhuman Evolution with “Brain Hacking” Tech
I had bought some Twitter stock earlier this year, and immediately sold it when the buyout rumors started because I knew it wouldn't get a bid higher than that with Jack at the helm.

It is dismal that they walked into meetings with Google, Salesforce, Disney, etc and they turned up their nose. Truly telling.

I've been a very harsh critic of Twitter's leadership, especially Jack Dorsey for a while now. Think of this scenario, the NFL just signed a distribution deal with the NFL, something they will probably lose money on. However, the NFL just released new social media rules barring gifs and replays until after the game. How did Twitter's leadership not put this together? You already have an existing relationship and leverage with the NFL.

You could have easily managed to make replays exclusive to Vine. That's exactly what Vine is good for. Imagine NFL teams having to post your social network on every other social network so people could watch replays? No one cares about Thursday Night Football, it's a garbage schedule with low ratings. The money was with the replays, and they completely missed the boat on leveraging their platform with the NFL's new rules.

That's just one example of total incompetence. Twitter is lucky that it is now a backbone to journalism more so than Facebook, if that ever gives way...watch out.
If I'm understanding correctly, you're not happy with being able to pay for content and not be shown ads; you also want nobody be else to have the option of free content paid for with ad views? Why?
In the last two years all of the artists at our studio (which does animation and interactive work) have switched to Cintiq's. We were really apprehensive to make the jump but they all seem extremely happy and some have even reported that pain they experienced after extensive tasks has gone away. I'd be really interested to see how they like the Surface Studio compared to a Cintiq.
...why on earth would I want to connect my full-size PC keyboard to my phone?
>"ladies" is old-fashioned and patronizing

I thought "lady" was analogous to "gentleman," is it really patronizing? I've always used both of those terms when I'm trying to be more polite or formal than usual.
Windows support for the touch bar gizmo will depend on Apple updating their bootcamp drivers.

As for Linux... I guess somebody will need to reverse engineer and write a driver for it.
> While union workers often have less salary disparity, their salaries also tend to be higher overall. The only downside to this is if the "best performers" derive value from their "worse performer" peers being paid less than them.

Or if you're in your twenties or thirties and pretty good at something and want to be paid based on how valuable you are in the market instead of based on your number of years clocking in.
I'd agree that "principledness" seems unusually high in geeks, except that those principles are often bad ones which lead to bad outcomes. Which is a lot more dangerous than a hypothetical average amoral schlub.
Not necessarily. Java byte code can be run directly on a JPM (Java Physical Machine).
I'm in the UK and have never had a problem taking time off to look after a sick child, although I work for a company which is generally excellent about these things (I took something like three months off after our kid was born due to complications).
Hardware buttons have no place in a post millennial world. Kids under 12 don't even know what physical buttons are.
>> The comparisons they made to the original PowerBook were interesting, in that it really showed how constant incremental changes really add up in the long term.

I spent a huge chunk of my savings to get a Powerbook 170 in the early 90s to get the active matrix grayscale screen. I still miss that trackball. It was --awesome--.
They could've at least put lightning port in it. Android and Mac users can now charge and listen to music using same cables, but it's not the case for iPhone
My beefs are the low-voltage CPUs and that it's even more expensive than the MBP if you want 16GB RAM ($2700, though you do get 512GB SSD for that which brings the MBP to $2600), let alone 1TB SSD (that's $3300 versus $3000 on the MBP).

And that's comparing to the 15" rMBP, the 13" is $2200 (16/512) / $2600 (16/1TB), though in that case the SB adds a dGPU. And battery life in both cases of course.

And the SB doesn't have a single type-C port let alone TB3.
Obviously software ignores those touches.
As an aside, I doubt that psychology would be experiencing nearly the number of issues that it is now with replicability if psychologists were able to delegate their analysis to an in-house statistician for verification. Or maybe it would (assuming that the poor application of statistics is more of a socio-political issue, which might very well be the case).
It's meant to separate days. That way each day is a new day, and you have some sort of mental partition between each one.
haha, from the title I thought this was for prototyping origami designs. It still looks awesome though!
It functions as a regularizer in learning and reduces unnecessary energy use.
MoBack creates asset platform for AR and VR content
my point is a bit different than that.

A family generally supports each other and works together. Parents help the children, etc.

Knowing this, wouldn't it make more sense to see if our society follows a meritocracy on the family level than on the individual level? Individually our society might not follow a strong meritocracy, but familially we might.

Now the question exists, is that still a meritocracy? On the family level, yes.

Are we okay with giving up a meritocracy on the individual level to allow a family to help each other? Probably yes to that as well. We should be more concerned with family meritocracy than individual meritocracy IMO.
Apple's best, newest MacBook Pro still has only 16GB of RAM
Are SSD and RAM user-upgradeable or soldered on?
I mean, just think about how many people have been saying literally that for this election! If anything, the strongly principled are the ones I'd worry about the most.
Can't agree with you there. These terms are not exactly super solidly defined, but most uses of the term "consciousness" I've seen usually refer to something more advanced than basic signal processing. To quote Wikipedia:

> It has been defined as: sentience, awareness, subjectivity, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood, and the executive control system of the mind.

It's a sufficiently vague term that I can't use it to describe what I mean because it will most likely be misinterpreted, and it conflicts a lot with modern views on what is or isn't aware enough that its experiences happen, i.e., the Turing test and the current trend of concern as to whether or not a given animal is intelligent enough.
I'm not a contributor but I've worked with core contributors to major projects. This is usually how I see things go down:

1) You work on an open source project and an altruistic company hires you to keep working on it. This is ideal, and I've only ever seen it once (Sendmail hired a couple of core contributors to keep making Sendmail awesome back in the 90s).

2) You work on an open source project, people see the work because they use the project, and then offer you a job to keep working on the project, but slowly over time you are working less on things that are great for the community and more on things that are great for your company. I've seen this a lot.

3) You get hired by a company that uses a big project, and they ask you to start making modifications that are useful for the company. It turns out what you did was useful for everyone so you contribute it back. Sometimes it turns out to be a huge win and so you keep working on it. I saw this with Cassandra and some of the folks at Netflix.

4) You create a cool project and your company lets you open source it. It becomes well known and then other companies want to hire you for either 1, 2 or 3. I saw this a couple times were people left Netflix to go to Facebook or Google to continue work on an OSS project.

If you work on Chromium or Firefox, you'll pretty much be limited to Google or the Mozilla foundation (with some exceptions). So if you want to do it to learn some great code but don't have a particular project that you love, I'd suggest one of the more infrastructure projects that are widely deployed if you want to increase potential job prospects.

In summary: There are lots of ways to get paid to write OSS, but you may not like them all.
It is a huge disappointment for the team which worked on this for years. It would be interesting to know the cause of the software error.

I don't know, but I would suspect that doing the knee reflex thing with someone asleep would often cause them to wake up?

But, also, I think I heard that the signal doesn't get all the way up to the brain before the signal to kick or whatever starts going down? (I am unsure of this though.)

So, I would think that the brain being like it is when the person is asleep wouldn't stop the kick reflex thing, because the brain isn't even what causes the kick reflex thing?

So my guess is that they would kick and then likely wake up.

I'm not certain of this though. Please correct me if I am wrong.

> I'm very happy to adapt to new things, when they offer a demonstrable benefit to me.

It takes time before you can see the demonstrable benefit. For starter

- USB-C solves the which side to plug in issue

- It's a unified charging port besides data transfer (one charging cable for all devices in the future)

- It's also a unified display port (one display cable for all devices in the future)
zuck shadowed no tech execs early on his ceo career. he followed though the ceo of the wall street journal because he viewed fb, this is early days too like 2005, as more of a news organization. he knows what's up. so to know the future of google/facebook etc. just read about about the previous tumultuous 100+-year history of the media particularly that beginning part with william randolph hearst.

zuck don't give a fuck.

There is a difference between anti-intellectual and anti-academic.
I just don't get the appeal of having to look at your keyboard instead of the beautiful screen.

The Microsoft approach with the dial on the screen at least is on the screen. Why do I want to keep looking down to be sure the TouchBar has the keys I expect?

I'll take a look at them and see, but it seems like something that will be used very little and almost annoying.

The locked 16GB memory is a deal breaker for developers, can't even run OSX and Bootcamp for Windows 10 on it. 8GB per VM is not enough and really we need 32GB/64GB to have 16GB/32GB each. Same with their current iMacs, next update better have 64GB+ options or they are making themselves irrelevant to developers and designers without having to spend $6k on an Mac Pro.
Good balance between quiet and haptic. Not quite mechanical click quality but more satisfying than other super soft touch ones.

Grad students are usually between 24 and 30. Postdocs between 27 and 40. A career in science should not be treated like the sacrament of Holy Orders. Although practically, many early-career researchers seem to adhere to the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience ...
I switched to "higher end" beefy laptops. At ~14 pounds it's like a portable desktop type deal :)

Still cheaper than macbook pro btw, which I have that too but mostly use it for ios stuff only.
>You're going to hide UI from the screen and make me keep looking at the keyboard to find functionality?

You can hit a touch bar item faster than you can position a mouse cursor on a screen toolbar.
Ask HN: What desktop apps prevent you from switching to Linux?
Following up this post, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12803941, are there specific applications that, if available on Linux, would allow you to switch away from your current preferred desktop environment?
I want to like the xps 13 too, but the non touch model (I want the matte screen of the non touch model) has a max config of 8gb board soldered ram. :(
Real courage would be to admit that USB-C is better than Lightening, and to switch their new iPhones to USB-C.
I don't think you did either since there wasn't a question. javajosh didn't ask a question.
OTOH, since 2005 they've changed the connector _once_, and the adapter is seamless enough that I still use 2006 and 2008 model chargers without giving it a second thought.
They are also still selling the old models. For the same price as when they were released.
i hear this is the same problem in politics. a ton of fundraising and very little politicking or whatever it is politicians use to do normally during the day.

A surprising amount of companies have "make money" as their only vision. Twitter is just bad at making you think otherwise.
There are companies like Canonical and Redhat that do a lot of work supporting mainly OSS projects. There are also companies like Oracle that are the progenitors of other OSS projects, even if they are no longer the primary maintainers. How do they factor in?
Well as a twenty-odd yrs old male asking a girl out could result in her accusing me of harassment and me going to jail, what do I do then? Lock myself to a room and masturbate till I die?
It certainly can work, but it also can end very badly with messy lawsuits. In general, it is best to avoid relationships within the chain of command.

Obviously that's not possible when you're in a tiny company and dating the CEO, but in general it is good advice.
Seeing as nobody is reading the fine text

* Only 64bit Linux on AMD64 is supported, so no ARM or Android support currently.

* Files must be ran on computers they were compiled on, or identical hardware

* Still needs GC, only G1 and Parallel GC are supported

* No dynamic byte code (Lambda Expressions, Dynamic Classes, etc.)

* The only supported module is java.base

* No decrease to JVM start up times

* Still need the JVM

* Some decrease to spin up as there will be less JIT passes that require stopping the world.

Effectively this just lets you pre-load .class files into the codecache directly rather then running the ~10k initial byte-code passes before they'd receive a JIT pass and that would happen.

Lastly .so is just used as a container so I doubt we can expect to dynamically link against AOT compiled Java in C/C++/Rust land.
For the JVM experts here: how realistic is it for OpenJDK developers to add a command line "-useGreenThreads" option? In Golang, you can create thousands and thousands of threads and there's no issue. If I tried that in the JVM, it would quickly crash. But if there was a "-useGreenThreads" option, I could create Java Executor threadpool of size 50000, use existing http client libraries, and get full concurrency.
The book, [Roadside Picnic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadside_Picnic) it is based on is equally amazing and both the movie adaptation and the book stand great on their own even though the movie was an artistic interpretation.
What is so strange about it? If a theory is not and cannot be tested, it is not science by definition.

That doesn't mean the theory is not valuable, just that you need a different word to describe it. If a theory may become testable in the future, but is not currently, meta-science seems as good as any other term.

Isn't any non-free, non-subscription service going to have to either put that barrier up or show ads? I may be misunderstanding your complaint, but it sounds really bizarre to me, akin to:

Have you tried a MacBook Pro with Linux installed?
re-reading my comment, I have no idea what I was thinking at the time... thanks
This probably does not affect android. In 5.0, android switched to AOT with a new VM, ART instead of Dalvik, which was a huge win for performance. Jitter in many, many apps went away completely, especially when scrolling. This did cause install times to increase, however. In 7.0 (or 7.1?) there is a mix of JIT with AOT for code that is deemed hot by a profiler, hopefully bringing the benefits of AOT without the lengthy install times.
Can you cite the projects which are examples of 4?
Makes sense to have an asset storage pipeline for AV/VR content. Can view uploaded assets on multiple AR/VR devices.
