Mostly about poor external display connectivity, poor trackpad accuracy and annoying coil whine. I saw 2-3 people mention the trackpad as a con and that was actually enough for me to keep waiting for Apple's event.

Maybe those were isolated incidents. Also there are a lot of XPS models, gotta check for a specific one I guess.
Ex-Palantir Employees Are Struggling to Sell Their Shares
The biggest difference between the cases is that we know exactly what info this sailor had, how he got it, and why it was sensitive.

We don't know that about Clinton, and the reason that matters is because information does not get declassified just because it is publicly known. The full text of a newspaper article about a Snowden disclosure contains information that to this day is classified top secret or higher. Someone sending her an email about a NYTimes story could result in classified info in her email.

Another difference is that Clinton was legally empowered to determine which emails were work-related (and therefore must be archived) and which were personal (and therefore could legally be deleted). The fact that she and her team made mistakes in this process is not criminal; mistakes are not a crime. In addition the FBI recovered and reviewed many of these deleted emails and still recommended against prosecution.

The extent to which one can point to a classified disclosure prosecution and say "this is just like Clinton!" is exaggerated. The details matter.
I think you're right, although I would say 2012 was still a good year for devs, given Snow Leopard and the Macs they released then (my 2012 is the last with all the ports and a DVD drive, for example). It was before the iOS features were heavily pushed to OSX. I think it is very sad but I too am considering migration of my life to a ThinkPad after this MacBook dies. That'll be a really sad time for me because I don't fully understand Microsoft's vision for the future, and certainly don't want to go back to Linux (I grew tired of everything breaking all the time and incessant change for no reason).

Out of interest, what ThinkPad are you looking at?
This is the best kind of bug report.
"Apple doesn't care about professionals"

Everyone who states more or less this sentiment is stating an absolute and speaking for an entire demographic when really they should be saying:

"Apple doesn't care about a certain type of professional who happens to think just like me"

I am a professional: a web designer, a programmer, as well as a musician and occasional video editor. I make a living using my MacBook Pro. I'm typing on one right now. My life wouldn't be possible without a Mac to use for my creative profession.

I love nearly everything about the new MBPs and hope to get the 15" as soon as funds are available. I think the Touch Bar is one of the most exciting UI upgrades to macOS in a long, long time. (For reference, I like the Force Touch trackpad but I almost never use the force part of it and think Apple's really dropped the ball on that particular feature.) I can't wait until Logic Pro X supports the Touch Bar, as well as other music apps like Ableton Live.

Even the fact that Xcode, Terminal, etc. have extensive interactions on the Touch Bar is impressive. This, THIS is how you roll out a new integrated hardware/software UI feature.

Are there some issues? Sure, but what major upgrade doesn't have issues? I still remember when Apple's iOS device lineup was a mess because some devices used Lightning and others used the old 30-pin connector. Heck, the transition to Intel itself was painful back the day...it took years to get the entire Mac product line up to date with all the major software properly compiled.

The switch to USB-C/TB3 is huge...the capabilities and bandwidth of that single type of port is staggering. (I'm still in awe that the new MBP can drive not just one, but TWO 5K displays simultaneously.) Instead of being upset with Apple's changes, we should be clamoring for them to upgrade their other Macs (iMac, etc.) to USB-C as fast as humanly possible. Need a dongle or two to get through the transition period? So what? I've needed dongles for one thing or another at almost every stage of the Mac journey (FW-400 to FW-800, anyone?)

Apple has not lost their way. Perhaps they've lost the willingness to push out Mac hardware on a more frequent basis, which is a shame. But their ability to innovate and come out with a great product when the time is right should not be up for debate.
want fiber? Try an apple or if ringing a piece of fruit too difficult for you too.
Many developers and creative pros are blasting Apple’s new MacBook Pro
While I get this sentiment, I would honestly like to know if you feel she has been judged fairly and consistently compared to other email related scandals out there. Most notably the bush white house emails [1] and Colin Powell's use of a personal email account (if not a personal server, though in some ways using an AOL email server has other complications over a private server)[2]

I'm not saying the email scandal is a non-issue, but I find it very interesting that so much emphasis is placed on what she has done despite plenty of other questionable incidents previously. It follows well the narrative that she is being at the very least held to a different standard than other politicians.

When you have Podesta saying "we need to clean this up" you know you're in trouble, esp since that email leaked...

There are very few historical figures of that period (especially ones of such little contemporary importance) that we have a lot of really-contemporary written accounts of. By comparison, we have no contemporary accounts of Socrates, a much more prominent figure, in a much more literate subculture.

But yes, agreeing with you again (hello from the other thread!) from the other end - the authentic bits tell us next to nothing about this character.
Well, I don't think anything can force the programmer to keep the prose and code in sync. The best we can do is give you an incentive to do so. The argument that was presented is that comments will get out of sync with code, but we're trying to provide tooling that will incentivize you to keep code and comments in sync.

I'd also like to say that if code is easier to read in the first place, there will be more eyes on it, and discrepancies will be resolved sooner. In most programming environments, a comment might describe a part of a much larger function. But the output of this code is far removed from the actual source. So discrepancies between comment and source are harder to spot.

It Eve, we intend these documents to be for more than just programmers. Who again, might not understand your code, but would understand the written prose and see the output /right there in the code/ that contradicts it. A bug like this would be brought to your attention much sooner than if your code was simply hosted as on GitHub.

Workload Automation – Open solutions matter
In 2013, Gartner removed its magic quadrant for workload automation tools, saying that “IT operations leaders must evaluate workload automation in the context of broader data center or application and process automation efforts.” In other words, this means that IT automation has to look at the broader picture to manage codependent complex processes and more heterogeneous resources.

This conclusion is supported by multiple feedbacks where companies are looking to migrate from one vendor to another not because of the tool itself but because of the integration with other services. For instance, a company which originally was looking at batch scheduling might now expand its automation to other services. Another example can be found in the growing need for hybrid infrastructures. The initial need might have been to optimize datacenter utilisation but with the exponential collection of data, companies are looking at hybrid clouds and cloud bursting to support analytic needs.

In this new market, extremely open tools leverage a key requirement from businesses. Automation projects are now looking at batch processing, release automation, public cloud lifecycle management, maintenance and others rather than discrete needs or only for production environments. These open solutions will communicate with external services in both directions and will enable future services to integrate with the newly created architecture of services.

Finally, aggregating all services around a common platform has other benefits. It lays the foundation for more governance, more control and more visibility which enable by itself continuous improvement. This common platform could includes additional features such as priority, error management, a simple interface to manage dependencies, etc. which would not be available on simple custom scripts.

Let's Create a List of Everything We Wish Siri Did
Here's a start:

- Make calls when dictated phone numbers.

Reason: "Hey Siri" and a pair of headphones is a great way to hands-free multi-task. However, when I: "Hey Siri, please call 520.555.5555", it says that no locations with that number can be found. It is called the iPhone, afterall...

- Speaking of which: CONTEXT.

In the above example fine, but I should be able to follow that up with: "Just call that number".
Which phones did you use? I used Palm Treos from 2004 to about 2009 or so, some of the keys even had a bump so you could locate the home row keys. You truly could type somewhat accurately without looking at the keyboard.

edit: wrong year
I don't think most people would be jailed for it. There's no evidence of it being malicious so as my dad (who was in the military) put it, "if the government jailed people for doing things that were stupid there would be no one left".
As always Science Fiction swoops in - in the "Culture" series, AI have hardcoded (as in, on their physical hardware) automatic code to shut down external communication in the event external communication is attempting to takeover the AI. I mean your question is pretty much "what would that automatic code look like," and I have no idea. I'm just getting pretty excited about all this sweet stuff happening with AI, automatic cars, hijacking of the human nervous system. Hngg.
>> It's time to face the fact that Apple doesn't care about professionals and never has.

> and yet despite this, professionals around the world use the Macbook Pro.

The problem is that everyone including people on HN have different ideas as to who these "professionals" that Apple serves are.

Creatives? Programmers? Salespeople? Accountants? Architects? All of these users are power users in different areas.

As a general purpose computer, Macbook Pros are good for most "professionals". If you're talking about more specific professions, then yeah, there's going to be a lot of debate.
The big problem with this announcement is that the letter only says "we found some emails and we are reviewing". But in news cycle it will get translated to a guilty verdict and possibly influence election outcome. Shouldn't they have reviewed the emails to see if there is classified information before sending out a letter like this ? Comey surely knew that this letter will be a big deal.
Can you explain? You seem to be implying that you believe that the NHTSA is capriciously making demands of Comma but not to other similar companies in a similar stage of market-readiness.
I've been thinking for a while now that the main threat to the existence of self-driving cars in the medium-term future is that somebody, in the rush to beat Google, jumping the gun and selling cars that kill people cause Congress to knee-jerk outlaw the whole thing.

I had no idea one had to involve the UN to unlock the downvote button! Serious business that.

I've avoided it myself as you seem to be quite "triggered" over losing a few meaningless points on the internet. I hope the rest of your day goes better.
I agree that the fines are set at a level more appropriate for a large corporation, but I looked at the questions, and they're all things I would want to know as a customer, and I would expect for them to mostly already know (e.g. "What weather conditions have you tested this in?").

There's only one question which could be considered too broad, which is compliance with safety standards, but it's generously worded as a yes or no question. He could simply answer "no, I haven't analyzed my product against against the safety standards".
What's random about it? It's basically:

- What's in the installation + operating manual? - Items 1-3

- Is it safe? Did you do testing? How? Items 4-6

- What vehicles does it work on? What happens if you screw up during installation? Items 7-8

- What happens if an owner screws up and puts in an unsupported car? Item 9

- Did you think about whether this keeps the car compliant with other safety regulations? In particular, did you think about the legality of blocking/removing the mirror? Did you do testing? Items 10-12

- When are you selling/shipping it? Items 13-14

- Anything else you want us to know? Item 15

Every single item is a completely reasonable question to ask. I'd certainly hope comma.ai knew the answer to each of these questions before they sold it to the public.

Again, if 2 weeks wasn't enough time, then negotiate with them and give them what you have. Threats of daily fines are often boilerplate that get tacked on to ensure that people take the request seriously; I'd challenge anyone to find an example where the regulatee cooperated with the regulator in good faith and still got fined for not responding.
It's not like the FBI is institutionally clamoring to disqualify Clinton and ensure Trump's victory
It seems few people are actually voting for Clinton, but rather voting against Trump. What is something like this leaves such a bad taste in their mouth that they decide to not vote at all?
Yup, that is the "don't try to wiggle out of this with some thin reasoning about scope" paragraph.
> This is the problem. That concept is completely foreign to a lot of people (me included).

When I arrive home to an empty apartment at 9PM, I sure as hell don't feel like cooking. Sure, I cook great meals during the weekend and the days I come home early. But cooking when you got back from a big day of work + an infernal commute is cooking nothing but a chore.

Edit: That being said, I'll drink a regular liquid meal and only if all the other alternatives can't be done (no food in the fridge, I am not home, I need to eat in the car, etc.) I don't see the need to get Soylent either.
Pretty much, yes. It's the lowest level of rights given to a worker pretty much, whereas someone who is self-employed is essentially treated as a company with a contract. There's a big difference in both rights and freedoms.
I'm not sure you have much to worry about, congress is in full support of expanding the H-1B system and there isn't anyone to investigate abuse any way outside of the most obvious violations.

Curious, what wage category are you using in the H-1B applications? What level?
But.. Why.. Why would you want to do that. And I am not asking to be clever. I just can't imagine why anyone wouldn't just run Linux?
Trump is beating Clinton on Twitter
That comes down to the "Nature of the Firm" dynamic[1]; there's a tradeoff between market efficiency and transaction costs, and every organization faces it.

You can e.g. ask the same question about "why not auction every shift?", "why not auction every internal work product transfer?" (extreme example: why not auction every fetch-coffee task?)

The answer is that having to re-auction every subcomponent introduces transaction costs that may eclipse the efficiency gains of selling at the optimal, market price.

In the case of Uber's drivers, that "transaction cost" includes the additional lag in taking bids before you get matched, and higher unpredictability of fares.

Of course, it actually gets kinda complicated here: Sidecar did more what you're describing, and (IIUIC) eliminated that lag by letter drivers submit a kind of formula that calculated and submitted their bid based on those factors (e.g distance to pickup), so it's not necessarily some kind of huge dealbreaker to do auctions; drivers don't have to sit down and scratch their heads about how much they'd need to do every request.[2]

Sidecar didn't succeed though -- they went out of business on this model (and keep in mind they had a much more solid defense of workers' contractor status for exactly this reason). But this might not have been the cause of their failure.

I'm guessing it comes down to there being a big premium on being able to (for lack of a better term) "commoditize" the ride hailing services so that eliminating such bidding was a net positive.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nature_of_the_Firm

[2] though note that in Sidecar's case, driver's got a list of bids and consciously chose the one they liked based on their implicit criteria rather than being auto-matched
Normally Friday is a classic "dumping bad news" day because most people don't watch the news on weekends.
I take it you didn't study food science. It's called oxidation, look it up. Also, some foods are made more bioavailable when soaking and blending, and sprouting, cashews.
Maybe GP globally enabled video recording access.
That's the point. The people complaining about "premining" want to be early adopters and take that 10% for themselves (even though it probably doesn't work any more due to the maturity of the cryptocurrency ecosystem). As if reading forums obsessively and firing up your GPU at the right time is more deserving than writing the code in the first place.
Most coding editors (even the "deprecated since the 70ies" Vim) shall let you follow links you put in comments.
For someone who likes to have as much code as possible on a single screen, this is the best option.
George Hotz, Comma AI shuts down driverless car project
Anybody that's accidentally dumped a capacitor into the car's electrical system when trying to install a subwoofer can attest to this. I was genuinely shocked anything worked in my car when I did it.
You're right. People do have feelings about this. I didn't mean to discuss feelings. I meant to use the word care to mean more specifically that this is not a deciding factor in a significant number of votes. Which is the only context that matters to me.
Ah, that wasn't clear to me. Thank you
I think you're conflating together changes a business can make to its approach that are "global" or high-level versus "local" or low-level.

I don't think the article is advocating only starting a company in a space where it's easy to get to low-risk.

If you enter a high-risk area, that's totally fine and good, but (as I read the article) it's still a good idea to try to move all of your indicators toward less risky rather than more.

The question you're getting at is whether one takes drastic steps like pivoting toward a more established industry where it's easy to lower risk. I'm not sure the author is advocating that.
Why does everyone always make the argument that because a cryptocurrency doesn't cover every possible use case for a currency that it will never be used.

Tell me how I can anonymously send $10,000 to another country with dollars?
> EDIT: This is not a partisan concern. Everyone needs these institutions, democracy and the rule of law.

It's not a partisan concern and we should be concerned about the rule of law...except in this situation? Because that's what it sounds like you are saying.

A society that lets its leaders do whatever they want without repercussions but "lesser" people get punished is not one particularly concerned about the rule of law. Why would we not want the FBI doing its job?
A number of my friends are food scientists, it goes beyond the "testing" concept and into the "design" concept. I think Soylent has been a little arrogant about their development process and failed to hire someone with extensive food science experience for the scaling.

There's some constituent ingredient they're using that is either sensitive to a significant portion of the population or contaminated with another thing that is. The best response here is to announce they're hiring someone experienced out of {existing company} to prevent these mistakes in the future.
Does it actually archive all of HN, Reddit, and Stack Overflow (and related sites)?

I've seen lots of omissions in archive.org. Not that it's not great. I love it. But there's a lot more that needs to be archived than what's in there.
"no one knows how it works" - That caught my attention, having seen computer evolved ASTs. Probably no one knows because no one has put effort to reverse engineer the internals - most of which would be unnecessary complexity that is very likely with neural nets.

Many years back, I had once experimented with PyEvolve to develop a custom trading strategy which was kind-of code with a custom instruction set. The output of a strategy was a string (program AST) that was uglier than most obfuscation outputs with many unnecessary statements. For example "a=1;b=2;c=a+b;d=c/3;if(d==1).." - expand that to many more variables. The program evolved strategies that made small profit and therefore the output was worth analysing. But decompiling that output used to take me hours - and few of those were tweaks of well documented strategies. Others I never understood because it was too much effort for a relatively small profit (and other trading parameters).
Based on the name alone it seems like an attempt to get more women involved in computer programming.

* Faster indexing

* Ingest node

* New scripting language (called Painless)

* New data structures from Lucene
