Different strokes, I imagine. My fiancee is a graphic artist who had a wacom tablet and a cinema display as her setup for a long time, but she got the 27" Cintiq a few months ago and LOVES it. I had similar skepticism that it'd really be that big of a step up, especially given what she was spending on it, but she says it's noticeable improvement on her productivity.

iMacs were refreshed in late 2015. It's typically ~3 years between new generations, often with a hardware refresh somewhere in between. Nothing new here.

They partnered with LG (I think?) on a 5k monitor. Sounds like a reasonable replacement for the Thunderbolt Display.
> The same reasoning can be used to invalidate the claim that there is a "meritocracy" of families. If you claim "family X has more merit than family Y", well you can apply the same reasoning to show that just like person A got their privilege from family X, family X got their privilege from situation Q

Not at all. Situation Q could be the same among many families, but only a few will succeed.
* USB-C is the physical port, TB3 uses USB-C

* TB3 is an alternate mode of USB, if you have TB3 you have USB[0]

* The reverse is not true, you can have non-TB3 USB-only ports

[0] well technically not necessarily, the USB-C and USB-3.1 standards are completely separated but that'd be really stupid

Ambitious is not the word I would use to describe this type of person.
Very True. I would add that conflicting priorities and/or conflicting preconceptions. In other words, conflicting priorities reflects bias in general, but cognitive bias could be independent of self interest priorities and simply be about a different preconceived perception, frame or foundation.
Bright lights wake you up right? I'm not sure how complex a stimulus you can interpret while asleep, but it wouldn't surprise me. After all your brain doesn't turn off, it's just in a different mode of operation.

EDIT: To be fair, I wouldn't be surprised either if there was a dedicated circuit that sensed change in luminous energy that bypassed V1. I'd google but I'm on limited wireless right now.

Here's an article that's informative, but doesn't quite answer the question: http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2014/03/13/how-light... It talks about the blue light pathway that David Berson discovered in intrinsically photosensitive ganglion cells. This was surprising because, while this was before my time, I think most people thought that it was the rods and cones that were photosensitive, containing proteins called opsins that transduce light into neural signal. Rods and cones can be considered input cells, ganglion cells sit above the retinal circuitry can can be through of as output cells that perform computations from their inputs and pipe that information down the optic nerve, which eventually leads to primary visual cortex located at the back of your skull. Though there are plenty of opportunities for side branching minor paths.

Dear Tim Cook,

As the owner of a 16gig, 13" MBP, i7 processor, MacBook Pro, explain to me why I upgrade?

Utili-bar is stupid.

Old processor, no chance for more memory, OS going to shit by trying to be as constrained as iOS.

Upgrade why?

This is clearly still great for a few places. For example in the trading industry, you would have a few seconds of being very slow when starting up for the week - or anytime you crashed and needed to reboot midweek.

Also risk of "hot pathing" the wrong paths if the server comes up during say a market closed time...
> - 7th generation Intel chips. Skylake (6th generation) is from August 2015.

Nonsense, 45W Skylake are from April-May, 45W Kaby is not expected until February-March.

I have to say that I am personally surprised there wasn't an update for any of the desktop computers. Even a token refresh would have been nice.

Depends on how exactly how functional you want to go, but latest versions of C++, Java, JavaScript, and C# definitely qualify. Rust, too, though it's not strictly OO. And Python, Ruby, Swift.
> 100% inheritance tax means relative equality between members of the same generation.

Not at all. Parents give much of their money while still alive.
Token based auth doesn't need to be stateless. In fact in our current implementation it is not.

If you use stateless like JWT (we had this before) you end up having a huge problem: imagine a user wants to logout all the open accounts in different browsers.

How would you handle that? You would need to wait for the expiration of the token, a solution that is not that secure.
So if I compare the base model (13", no touchbar) with my current-gen 13" pro I see exactly one advantage:

Thunderbolt 3. Seems nice to have for future docking stations and monitors. Don't care if only used as a notebook

And lots of disadvantages:

No Magsafe connector, no HDMI (which most current-gen monitors have), no SD Card, probably a worse keyboard if they adapted the 12" Macbook key style and 300€ more expensive.

The touchbar might be a nice gimmick for some casual users which never used the function keys anyway. But I guess for most folks here that use their notebook for programming it will cause more trouble than help. It's not like most IDEs will support for the touchbar anytime soon if at all. And without special support it can be only worse then physical keys. They should have probably offered at least the 15" version without a touchbar too.
Sure you can't please everybody. But you can certainly displease most of the people who buy your products.

Not saying the ports is a dealbreaker, just that it makes things more inconvenient for probably the majority of users, with little offsetting benefit.
Wait a minute: If you have 10 sick days, then (in theory) you can only take them if you're sick. If you have 10 PTO days, you can take them for any reason, including if you're sick. Isn't that more flexible?

EDIT: Ahh, good point, thanks repliers! I forgot the case where PTO comes out of your vacation days (which I have been subject to in several jobs). Yea, those jobs suck.
I'd be interested in such a recommendation, too, as long as it also comes with an assurance of good external display handling and suspending capabilities. (Those are the primary reasons I went with a MBPr last time around.)
It's a barrier that can't be smoothly crossed, so it implies revolution over evolution.

I think this is half-true. There's historically been a lot of cross-pollination between IAS and Princeton, which has resulted in some spectacular achievements such as the first electronic computer(the IAS machine; built a little bit after Feynman left I believe). IAS also has a lot of scholars who are working "remotely" at other institutions/colleges iirc. My general impression is that while there are a lot of slackers, there are also some really active and committed researchers, much like the rest of academia, so I'm not sure if we can reject the null hypothesis here so quickly.
Apple's price points are no longer attractive anymore for the laptops. Previously you could buy a current gen MBA 11/13 for decent prices relative to what they offered. You could also buy MacBook Pros for less - for a 15" the starting price is now $2399!
Those savings might still be beneficial. For instance this might be a decent speed up for GC Functions / AWS Lambda
I'm sure it is a disappointment, but I'd like to understand why does ESA need to repeat all the mistakes NASA has been making since two viking lander successes in the 70's. Mars is very hostile to landers and it seems wasteful not to use what was already learned and do something new.
Emojis: I'm with you. This seems dumb but I'm optimistic that people will find clever ways to use the screen. Even if it's just pushing away moronic "toast" style notifications off the important real-estate.

USB / dongles: In two years, almost all peripherals will be USB-C and C-to-A adapters will be tiny and cheap. USB-C will be the new Thunderbolt and it'll end up being more convenient. I'm looking forward to sharing displays with ultraportable Windows machines and chromebooks using USB-C.

I've got the mid-2012 13" mbp as well and it has been great! I have the RAM maxed out to 16GB and replaced the CD drive with an internal SSD adapter. Now it has 1TB of space across two Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSDs. It's still very fast!

With that said, I'm leaving it on El Capitan. Nothing in Sierra tempts me to upgrade and pay the price of configuring everything again and being left with worse performance. It's sad, I truly believe this is the last Apple laptop that I will purchase as they continue down a path of adding things I don't care about.
Google is not supposed to respond. The demand is addressed towards the public, not Google. It's kind of a form of pressure, they are showing they are ready to escalate and are hoping later on Google would be more willing to cooperate with the government and so on.
What you are saying generally rings true for an opaque-salary workplace (which is all I've ever worked at).

In the end, though, the dissatisfaction is an edge-triggered phenomenon, not a level-triggered phenomenon. The introduction of an open-salary model to an opaque-salary environment seems tough for everyone, especially if there is a large disconnect between people's perception of their peer's performance vs. their actual salary. But in an open-salary environment, especially one with a feedback loop, it seems like it would be difficult to get into that state in the first place.

Because that's at the library level. It would require rewriting code to use it which loses one of the big advantages of the JVM (a huge existing ecosystem).

If it's at the JVM level (with a command line option to change how threading is done such as -useGreenThreads") then it's transparent to all existing code. I can just use anything (such as existing JDBC library), increase threadpool to levels that would be considered "ridiculous" with current JVM threading system, and it would all work fine. No code changes necessary for existing libraries.
Only if you assume a meritocracy has to be on the individual level.

You could try going the Hackintosh route. I've had a Dell XPS 15" model (9530) with hi-dpi display (1920 x 1080), 512gb SSD drive (partitioned to two 256gb, one for Windows 10 use when needed).

There are few quirks, webcam light stays on after use, SD card slot not working but the whole Hackintosh community is great at solving problems.
Modeling, like COMSOL. Runs very much faster when RAM is enough to keep it from accessing disk, even when disk is an SSD.
I never said the on-screen version would support touch (I wouldn’t want it to). The orientation doesn’t have to be horizontal (my Dock is vertical). For that matter, it doesn’t even have to be one-dimensional. Every aspect of Touch Bar is constrained by where Apple wanted to put it, and not what would be the best experience.

They should have started in pure software, and then they would have figured out just how many possibilities there really are. Some examples:

- What if I want my “system-wide ever-changing functions pad” to be a 4x5 grid of icons located in a window at the bottom-left of my screen?

- What if not every action/status item is ideally laid out in a bar? Maybe some items are vertically rectangular, some are horizontal, or some are shaped like triangles. Maybe I want lots of space between things. Maybe I want 4 different contextual areas, all over my screen, instead of being confined to one region. (This is a PRO laptop...)

- What if I want complete control over the show/hide mechanism? Examples: Floating, non-floating (can layer documents on top), sliding in from the side of the screen, popping up only while a certain key is pressed, attaching to Dock...

- What if I want my ENTIRE laptop screen to become a contextual display while doing working primarily on an external monitor?

Any one of these scenarios could come up when doing real work on a laptop and none of these can be handled by an expensive Touch Bar control. Conversely, we already have context-sensitive commands mapped to the keyboard and status mechanisms (menu bar, window toolbars, other application functions) and the Keyboard preferences pane lets you map commands any way you want.
QuickBooks
I put a decent amount of work into something similar and had a fairly polished mobile app with a good number users in a few concentrated communities using it. And it was a disaster.

Anonymity plus a shared reference point of being near each other (mine was 400ft) produced either random attempts at discussion that never matured into a conversation, or focused vitriol at real people.

We ended up discontinuing the app as it was hard to overcome the double network effect (needing people you actually want to chat with, and needing them to be nearby), and the only times where it did was because of a pretty reprehensible use case.
It's a little confusing because some of the official example files don't use the "Browser Chrome" patches and instead implement that content with multiple "Chrome" layers. Just delete those if you are starting from one of the tutorial files.
I don't particularly care for the term "lady", but I would never consider it patronizing or an insult.

Administrators.
I noticed the presenter doing this a few times. It definitely doesn't seem like a power-user thing to me. That said, I'll be holding off on a strong opinion on this until I get to use it. I could see it being either a usability nightmare or something super useful.
Totally agree. It's very easy for Google to tweak their algorithm little by little to affect public opinion over time. I think if the change happens slowly enough; nobody, would notice.

I doubt that Google would tweak their algorithm in such a way that it would work against their interests (if this happened, I bet they would just roll back the change) - That alone gives Google an advantage over everybody else.

It's a bit like how some manufacturers were able to slowly lower the quality of their products over time and still retain or improve market share because people just didn't notice...
Wow thanks for the review!
