I think the idea is that the tying of the software and hardware is a cornerstone of Apple's proprietary platform control efforts, so if you're upset about that, you're likely to be upset about the other aspects too.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that notices this.
Really the best strategy would be to take existing Linux desktop staples and send patches that allow them to be reskinned enough to get the consistent L+F they want.

Which part Protectionism? Extreme exaggeration, sensationalism or flat out lying? Jumping to conclusions without all the facts? calling everyone and everything corrupt that stands in your way of ultimate power? Being so arrogant as to even suggest you have a better understanding and judgement than all the experts in the field? demanding ultimate devotion and allegiance or he'll go at you with everything he has?

Unfortunately it isn't going away and that's sad for all of us...

Congratulations, republicans on your Pyrrhic victory if you win.
TB3 is Intel, not Apple. And the point is that it has super high bandwidth, enough that you can dock TB3 laptops with a single cable for all your monitors and peripherals.
First, the Volt has a combustion engine. That does not qualify it as a comparison to a Tesla or a Chevy Bolt.

Second, not sure where you are getting your numbers, but both the Model S has sold more than the leaf, add in the Model X, which is also out selling the leaf A LOT in 2016 and it's not even close. Also, people are dumping their leafs so quickly, most of them are sitting in used car lots which they are having to slash the price of them so much just to move them.
What's wrong with NAS? I bought a Synology to work with a mixture of mac/linux/win machines and it worked fine out of the box.
For desktops, it can be pretty straightforward to install, but not always update. I used to run one for a couple of years.

For laptops, absolutely agreed. Configuring a Hack is always going to be painful.
Who cares? It's a gimmick. Video scrubbers and color pickers already exist. I don't need a silly keyboard screen to do them.

The "I need to pick colors and scrub video" response is getting old. Nobody does that stuff often enough for it to be a good trade off.
The act of being "on your phone" isn't necessarily bad. If it's arguing philosophy with people on HN, maybe not a great way to spend time compared to, say, communicating with your family or building relationships.
Oh. That sucks. I do not seem to be able to find any source on that, though.
Except the cable in question is bought separately. Dongle, cable, adapter, whatever you want to call it: It's two products from the same company that has a reputation for an ecosystem that works extremely well with itself, and if I walk out with two boxes, one Macbook and one iPhone, they cannot be connected without a trip back. That's absurd.

The performance of the Bolt EV is MUCH better than a Sonic (6.5 second 0-60 for the Bolt EV; 8.7 for the Sonic; 6.4 for the Mercedes GLA mentioned above), and the feel of the electric drive is smoother than any gasoline powertrain (barring possibly a Bentley); so you are definitely getting more than fuel savings with your extra $22k. It is still up to the buyer to decide if those features are worth it.

Disclaimer: I work for GM and drive a Sonic. I did not work on this program.
How did you arrive at it costing $10 to recharge its 238 mile battery?

Ah okay, the power savings issues.

Basic "just run code" stuff seems to be working well enough, and on a desktop which always runs at max in my case it doesn’t need to support power savings modes either.

Thanks for the very informative and detailed answers.

Err, I was stating my personal opinion on wireless headphones. I'm not Apple.

Obviously people have different preferences on removing the port. I'm glad that it will help push the availability of wireless headphones, and speed up their marketplace penetration.

Where is the sub 30k Tesla? Being able to design a car such as the model 3 is a huge feat, no doubt. However execution is equally as important, and no matter which way you slice it, GM hit the market first. It is not always fair, the innovator should receive the rewards, but in this case the existing player executed first.
There's only so much innovating you can do on a laptop or handheld device. It's time for Apple and the rest of the big tech companies to start focusing on moonshot ideas: like teleportation, trains, transportation, perhaps even an iHouse. The iHouse could be a modular unit that can move around the city when you need to move, thus plugging into any other iInfrastructure areas, making moving much easier and reducing commutes, saving the environment and huge amounts of time and money.

Unfortunately, no company will be able to do the above, because government prevents all of that from happening. The next 100 years will be a period of great innovative stagnation, until people and voters understand that innovation must first be legalized before it can occur. And we haven't even begun to educate voters and politicians on these matters, so it's going to take a looong time.

That has not been my experience. I much prefer CarPlay to what Honda and others offer. I think car manufacturers are going to have to pick which set of clients to cater too. It seems to me that having both systems will be too expensive for them.
So don't buy direct from Apple. An AmazonBasics lightning cable is 6.50 right now. The cheapest brand I recognize for USB-C is Anker at 7. So no, USB-C is not meaningfully more expensive but neither are iPhone users getting ripped off unless they choose to.

Apple customers aren't getting "screwed" as you claimed.

If you're still using micro USB, I hate to break the news, but you will absolutely be buying some new cables in the future.

> What happened is that Java EE was a beast to work with, but some features of it like servlets, injection, and data mappings were useful, so developers built versions of those that could work with Java SE (think Tomcat and Spring). The Java team took the lessons and redid Java EE to make it easier to work with. It's still a bit of a beast to work with, but good enough to build an application with.

This is a really important point for all of Java, in fact. It's a fairly old language (21 years) that has had a lot of trial-and-error and a lot of very niche applications (embedded/mobile development). There is a lot of stuff that is abandoned, obscure, deprecated, or not really used for its original purposes anymore.

For example of something that's widely acknowledged as an outright mistake, see the Cloneable interface.

http://www.artima.com/intv/issues3.html

Do also see the DEFCON talk "The Secret Life Of SIM Cards" that was posted here last night, for an example of a niche embedded usage of Java. There is a LOT of Java running around - not just on smartphones, but on all kinds of embeddable/mobile devices.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-nxemBCcmU

In many ways DotNet is a clean-slate reimplementation of what Java could have been. It avoids many of the pitfalls that Java ran into, but I think it also misses the boat on some others. I would love a Maven equivalent for C#. And checked exceptions actually are useful in some contexts and C# misses out, but on the other hand Java took it way too far by adding tons and tons of checked exceptions for generic "something happened!" failure cases, many of which are implementation errors and should be unchecked. C# has a lot less boilerplate but also more opportunity for mistakes if you aren't careful.
1. I've been running a custom ROM on my phone for the past four years. This custom ROM had AppOps before Google's Android, it shields my data from peeking/demanding apps until I allow them, and for apps that don't understand the concept of politely asking me if I would give them my data, this custom ROM fakes it. I keep even Play Services under restrictions.

An update for it is available every night. A stable update comes in every few months. And a security update right after disclosure.

Windows 10 can shout "But ... Android!" all it wants to justify its own shoddy actions, but until the source code to Windows 10 is released, Windows 10 just doesn't have the same grounds for that argument.

----

2. Android isn't a desktop OS. A desktop OS hiding behind an argument like, "But ... [some] people let that mobile OS get away with it! Why can't I do it too!?" ignores the difference between people using computers for leisure and convenience and people using computers for work.

----

TL;DR:
1. At least with Android, you can turn whatever you don't like off.
2. Windows Phone's antics might be an apples to apples comparison against Android, but Windows Desktop isn't.
Yeah, spouse plans are great, _if_ they are significantly better/cheaper. I'm a single dude who doesn't have a ton of health problems, but I see middle age on the horizon and I know I'm going to start going to the doctor more.

FSA is a good option for for reducing total costs -- if you're ok preallocating / can predict your health care costs for a year. Which I don't think most people can.

Perhaps there's an opportunity for someone to improve transparency here w/r/t job hunting. I'm not sure I would have changed my decision about where I was going to work -- but it would have been nice to know what my options were.
>.... getting you to send information about yourself to them (in order to provide more accurate ad targeting) is how they make money.

This is a common and generally accepted interpretation of Google that I conjecture contrary to. To restrict such an unprecedented glut of data solely to marketing would seem prohibitively wasteful. Access to intellectual property[1], psychology/social trends, biometrics[2], political, economic, and myriad otherwise private/personal details, etc., collectively and individually comprise a colossal repository useful for predicting, manipulating and understanding (in entirely novel ways) all these very subjects. From intel (e.g. gov) to legislation (e.g. ALEC), the implied applications are many. Perhaps ads are the primary ostensive means of income for Google presently, but opportunity elsewhere abounds. And maybe I've got it all wrong and marketing is the root directory of humanity.

Why I Joined Aha as a Remote Rails Developer
I am really excited about the Bolt and planning to get one next year when the lease on my Nissan Leaf is up. However, I really dislike how leather seats are bundled with other options on cars nowadays. I do not want leather seats. They are annoying to maintain and easily damaged by my big dogs. I'm really hoping there's some way I can order a Bolt with the other options (especially heated seats) and no leather seats, but there probably isn't.

The best I can find is $24000 [1], which sounds believable. But that's not referenced. There's a lot of articles stating that most people actually can't afford new cars [2]. Those articles, and studies they're talking about, are comparing median income and average car price, though.

"If those treadmills were micro USB, they'd be trending rapidly toward obsolescence anyway."

Where "trending towards obsolescence" means "has realistically at least three years of non-negligible use for Micro USB", versus "was replaced by its manufacturer just over four years ago" (September 2012).

As an EV owner, the bigger benefit is the vastly simplified maintenance schedule. I don't know how the TCO works out, but in general, the EV is much less of a pain compared to my wife's ICE.
What frustrates me is people saying "exponentially more" when comparing two things, like the Bolt has exponentially more range than the Leaf. I mean, you could fit an exponential curve to those data points, but also logarithmic, so why bother?

Average US electric price is $0.12.

So 60 kw-h is $7.20. Brings the breakeven miles down a fair bit, and I guess it should be possible to have quite lot cheaper electricity for charging (and lots of people will have to do the calculation with higher prices).
I wonder if such statements are taking total cost of ownership into account? After subsidies it's more expensive to purchase than similar models and trim lines of gasoline powered cars, but electricity is much cheaper than fuel and you have much less maintenance to do as well.

I drive about 800km per month and I'd pay $10/mo in electricity to do that in a Bolt, versus $150/mo in gasoline for my current car.

Having used a hackintosh (Surface Pro) as a secondary machine to my Mac, I don't recommend it for everyone.

* You won't be able to update to the latest patches without possibly breaking the build. There's a possibly you need to re-hack your device every year. Xcode is tied directly to Mac OS X builds. For example, you can't download 8.1 unless your own Sierra right now.

* WiFi / Bluetooth didn't work for my particular hackintosh, but it'll be better for others.

* Graphics were a bit buggy (again not a problem depending on the device).

* Login would fritz out on occasion so I'd have to boot into safe mode to fix it. Could be my particular device, but random problems are common with hackintoshs.

* When it worked it was amazing, touchscreen worked as well.

* iMessage / FaceTime will not work unless you hack it and provide it your Mac's serial number. Do this at your own risk. This could essentially break iMessage on your original mac. I think I ended up emailing them or something to get it looked into / fixed.

* App Store has some issues as well as lot of things are tied into the serial number of the Mac.

* If you enjoy fiddling and hacking on things, I'd recommend this. It was a good learning experience for me and I don't regret it, but I wouldn't want to do it again. I ended up having to modify some kernel files to get some things working. Basically a lot of tinkering from one patch to another.

Having done it once, I wouldn't go the hackintosh route again. While I enjoyed the process, the amount of time I spent to get it work wasn't worth it for me. If price was an issue, it's definitely a good route.
That loophole was an argument back when you could buy a copy of OS X on DVD, but is there any current way of obtaining a legal copy of OS X separately?
Right. Few early founders have a management layer between them and the general employees. That comes years later unless they've secured massive funding and are on an extremely fast growth path (which I'm sure describes a lot of startups as well).
Kids who spend more time on screen less likely to take initiative
I think his numbers are too high as well. I pay $0.2 per kilowatt hour, and live in one of the most expensive electricity areas in the country. To completely charge the 60 kw/hour battery it will cost me only $12.

In many parts of the country, power is much, much cheaper than mine. My friend pays less than $0.10 per kw/h in Georgia, which also has a $5,000 state subsidy (on top of the $7,500 federal subsidy).

Do the math with $6 full charge cost and a $12,500 subsidy and it quickly turns in the EVs favor...
> And the secret sauce is obsession.

Correct. Above all else, passion and continued perseverance are the hallmarks of anyone truly successful at their trade. There is an excellent quote from Saint Francis of Assisi that, quite honestly, explains the software engineering field about as well as it did masonry in the 13th century (or writing in the 18th century).

He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.
They aren't "dumping" them. The vast majority of leafs were sold on 2 year leases and those leases are now up. Hence the accumulation of pre-owned models. Most people just trade up to the newest model.

I'm considering the same. But since you need a Mac to build a Hackintosh, I decided to buy a used Mac for $500. I'll still probably build my Hackintosh, but It'll be for fun hacking reasons. And it's a NUC so I don't expect it to be too challenging.
If it were feasible to build such a device and break RSA with it, I assume the NSA would be doing it. Snowden's leaks implied that, while the NSA has a huge toolchest of various taps and side-channel attacks for attacking cryptosystems, they still lack the ability to break RSA directly (given a proper key length).
>I will double down because I refuse to buy an iPhone

Doubling down is a term from black jack where you double your bet because you think you have a good chance of winning. So in this case, you will offer double the money to buy a car because it has a feature you don't want?
I agree with you 100%, but I think you are conflating two different things. What number 12 talks about is having too many choices for one thing. E.g.,

* Too many themes

* Which of these 10 apps would you like to open the text file with?

* New Word document, what kind of document (lists 40 choices)

What you are really talking about is #34. Designers trying to make it simpler for mobile end up reducing functionality.
> Most Americans probably don't understand how abnormal the US and its government are in many ways. He says, a "normal country doesn't run a $500 billion trade deficit, intentionally run a broken government, five simultaneous wars."

When you look at that trade deficit on a per capita basis, or as a percentage of GDP, it then does look pretty normal compared to other first world countries.
