After Apple "broke the back" of the telco monopoly with their 2007 5-year deal with AT&T[0] it's been a slow progression in North America to the European-style subscriber-owned phones that are compatible across most networks.

I, and many others were surprised at that deal because, up to that point, ppl had essentially carrier-owned phones and long contracts that locked subs (subscribers) to their network. This deal would allow ppl to install any software from the app store without telco approval.

Telcos see the SIM card as their last beachhead. They are looking for at least 2 revue streams from this NFC SE (Secure Element)[1] real estate:

1 Identity verification - Telcos rent "space" on the SE on which you store health cards, passports, driver's licenses, etc.
2 Cards - Telcos rent "space" on which you store credit, gift, debit cards.

Carriers and Issuers (the bank that issues your credit card) are now fighting over that potential revenue stream (spoiler: it's tiny) while Apple has gone and deployed it with Apple Watch et al and is making a cut of the transaction fee. In contrast, the transaction fee is a huge stream however one can imagine the fun of negotiating a contract between all the parties involved (likely all multibillion dollar companies with teams of lawyers).

Apple had tried to push a software SIM (containing a SE) but the carriers, from their POV, rightly and vigorously fought and will continue to fight against that[2]. Google is also trying with Android Wallet/Pay/...

I suspect Apple will eventually use the same "wedge" approach with one of the US carriers and the others will fall in line.

It changed the up-front effort in FILING for a greater but later effort in FINDING (assuming keyword search).

To compensate, of course, users can invest a greater upfront effort in NAMING and TAGGING.

Several decades ago, I made filing mostly go away by creating files in the directories in which they would eventually be filed. This requires the ability to create nested subfolders, without which no substantial filing system is viable.

There's probably an order of magnitude at which hierarchical filing systems become the only rational approach (depending on the material). It might be 1,000 in some cases, or 10,000 in most cases, and maybe 100,000 in a few cases.

At least, that's how it works for me.....

Really? I think it's more accurate to say that Syria was a repressive, violent dictatorship before all this started[0]. Since the war started the government has slaughtered more of its citizens than the rebels have.

It isn't that. Or at least not only that. They are pragmatic nation. They are considering who and why would want to use the map, and then tailor it to meet the needs of an audience.

I am not sure about other countries but European maps are always oriented for north. Which works fine when you read them in book, but not necessarily when you are looking at big guide map on the street. Yes, sure, this map may show red "you are here" mark, but it is still difficult to find out your way as a map itself is always oriented to north, while you may not be.

Japanese street maps are oriented on you (most of them). When you're standing in front of it - "up" on map always means "go forward". Which might be confusing at the beginning, if you came from Europe. But the more you look at them, the more easy it is to find your way.
I found that OP's key phrase is senior dev "manager".

Senior dev are required to have these skills brushed out for a technical interview, however 80% of dev manager don't program at work anymore. Asking them for this kind of skills that are not going to be required in the actual job is a bit odd to me too.

Is this due to the effect where immigrants from a country, and their descendents, end up more conservative than people in the country they came from?

You see this in other places too. (American Irish Catholics are more conservative than modern Irish Catholics, for instance.)

I own all three of these keyboards/laptops and I agree completely. The butterfly keys on the pretty little MacBook work well enough, and they do allow the MB to be so small and light that it has replaced my iPad for short trips. The MB is perfect for reading HN at the coffee shop, but the new style keys just don't cut it for extended sessions of typing.

I'm hoping that the new MacBook Pro just announced with the new generation of butterfly keys will be as good as the Retina MBP or the Magic Keyboard; it remains to be seen.
As a long time gentoo dev I am happy that this gets more attention. Although this is an open secret and completely obvious.
Gentoo's rsync-based system was always insecure. There have been multiple attempts to implement some kind of package signing, but it never made it to deployment.

A workaround right now is to use git-based sync over https. You can sync from https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo which is a copy of the portage tree with pregenerated metadata.
Horrible Things I Found Out When I Made A Video Game
>You do understand that normal crops require at the least as much pesticide and herbicide as GMO's right?

Doesn't sound like you read the article. Suggest you do. Here is a supplementary source as well.

A paper published in the peer-reviewed Environmental Sciences Europe found that overall, GMO technology drove up herbicide use by 527 million pounds, or about 11 percent, between 1996 (when Roundup Ready crops first hit farm fields) and 2011. By 2011, farms using Roundup Ready seeds were using 24 percent more herbicide than non-GMO farms planting the same crops.[1]

Thanks for that link to the TLDR project, looks kinda interesting.

The fact that project exists though suggests to me there is a problem with the man page system in general.
Desktop. Talking desktop.

You will never get them to do it by themselves, you have to set it up for them. There is a resistence to switching to Linux, because of the image they have in their mind about it.

Mint and Ubuntu are very user friendly and yes once I dropped them (Ubuntu & Lubuntu) on my familly computers the resistance vanished in a matter of minutes after using them. Biggest problem was "Why is the X on the left top of the window ?"

So I'm saying: without some incentives or guidance, adoption of Linux desktop by average users will remain low because of perceived difficulty, existing familiarity with Windows and Mac OSes and general mental inertia.

The Mac Pro hasn't changed internally since 2013, calling it a professional computer is a joke at this point.
Its possible OP is trolling us because I can't think of any famous or good novelist who went to a top writing school.

The concept of for profit school obviously is recent compared to the idea of writing a novel so the class of novelists who didn't go to novelist school obviously contains everything before the student loan boom.

Ask HN: To maximize SEO, should I merge my personal projects on same domain?
In this week's post on instapaint, he says and shows that using custom projects on his main domain helps his company's main home page to get more views. He says it makes his website rank better. I understand this might not be the case but it made me rethink how I display my stuff online.

Let's say I am running 10 quality websites on different custom domains. Some get 100K uniques per month, others only 100.
Money is not a problem.

I personally think using a custom domain for each is more attractive for the user. This might not be the case. I'd like to know what are your thoughts about this.

1) Considering only SEO, should I merge all projects on the same domain? example.com/"project_name"

2) Is domain authority more important than not having a related domain name?

3) Could a "bad SEO" site bring down other sites on the same domain?

4) What would you do? Any other suggestions?

Thank you for your help.
But the parts they do need are quite high up the tech stack: decent quality bearings being the most obvious.
however Apple should be ashamed that they still sell this in the configuration it has and worse for the price they want.

No machine should be left so long without updates. I really don't understand why Apple does that, they should be embarrassed
Right, the problem is that if Western countries cracked down on foreign financing and illegal/intolerant BS from ALL religions, mosques would represent 90-99% of total institutions/preachers affected.

It would be absolutely the right move, it would help moderate Muslims...and the outcry about "Islamophobia" would be off the charts.
To be fair, the BS is on the Google part too. Nougat runs on old binaries on a 2011 Galaxy Nexus just fine.

Vulkan or OpenGL ES 3.1 graphics ? Yeah, I really need those for checking my email and browsing the web on the phone.

Imagine MS blocking Windows $version because your GPU doesn't support newest DirectX to render some obscure animation. How about just not rendering it on older hardware and doing it on new ones ?
Of course, Lightroom and MS Office are available on Windows, and may include more programs ;-)

Turkey, too, finances mosks and the education of imams in Europe, to keep the flame of nationalist pride burning among Turks who've been here for three or four generations.
There were over 1000+ commits made in over a year -- all of those changes and improvements are GPL. (You can make GPL mods to MIT code and release those all as GPL.) If Wix had used the original ZSSRichTextEditor they would have been fine, but they didn't.

The key thing to understand is that being “compatible” with the GPL means that you can take code written under an MIT license , and put a GPL license on it if you want to. The MIT license allows for this, but, the reverse is not true. The GPL does not allow you to take GPL code and change the license to MIT, and it definitely doesn't allow you to take open GPL code, and make it proprietary.
This may be one of the factors but not the single factor since, according to the article, Turkish-speaking mosques aren't more conservative.
Technically speaking if I have a Mac mini and I plug 8 more gigs of non-apple RAM or another hard-disk I'm violating their EULA.

IMHO they did the copyright, because they don't want someone to put a stamp "MacOS X - tested" or something on their hardware.
that does not create the pleasure response that our brains are wired for, its only food and sex.
After having checked out their website, the one thing I don't like about them is how they say they'll reject spam before it reaches users' accounts (i.e. reach the spam folder or inbox). That sounds like a good thing in theory, but I've seen so many legitimate emails be marked as spam by aggressive spam systems that I fear losing legitimate emails if emails looking like spam are rejected and don't even reach the spam folder.
Isn't it strange that the West's so called best friend in the middle east is by far the most regressive and primitive regime in the region that is allowed to willy nilly spread terrorist idealogy for 30 years.

Western governments, media and institutions then rant and rave against human rights but tip toe around the Saudis and instead dismantle other regimes in the region inimical to the Saudis throwing millions of lives in the middle east into chaos and leaving gaping power vacuums for extremists to fill.

And then simultenously spend billions of dollars building surveillance states at home making a mockery of our own commitment to democracy to deal with the fallout of the Saudi financed spread of wahhabism.

There is something extremely rotten at work here unless one supposes our foreign policy apparatus is naive.
Because in the west it did effectively became that, because of funding the majority of mosques, and all the largest ones are Salafist/Wahhabist/MB and funded by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the rest.
The Shia mosques tend also not to be considerably better since they are funded by Iran and Hezbollah but those communities in Europe at least are considerably smaller.
For the most part only mosques that are still "OK" in Europe would be Turkish, Albanian and a few others, the problem is that funding and community outreach wise they are overshadowed by the billions that the Saudi's and their merry band provide to their communities.

South America on the other hand will have a big problem soon.
I'm not a big fan of assigning identities to others. I've got disagreements on the culture.

If we didn't have this current culture and the older style continued, this mobile phone would have a physical slide out keyboard.

There may have been a physical scroll wheel on the side of the phone that could go through programs, scroll this page And do volume - not just that.

Maybe even buttons on the back of the phone like on the PlayStation controller to take selfies, dim the screen... If the phone was dropped, the replaceable industry standard battery would eject to absorb the impact. Cracked screens would be even more rare on top of that because the device would be a durable absorbent plastic.

The interface itself would have global text and keyword search, the color scheme would change at night, There'd be an sd slot and a dual band gsm/cdma chip etc...

I look at the trajectory we are currently on and I'm envisioning everything to be a toddlers interface in 10 years that's enormously infuriating and useless where you're cattle prodded into doing some very precisely planned flows with intentionally no room for deviation.

Nothing stupid is off the table. Replace the url input box in a web browser with a "share" button to post it on Facebook or Twitter? Google nagging you about new results to some random search from last week? News sites using third party cookies to only present articles on the front page that agree with your biases? A merging of sms and email so you have no idea how things are being sent?

I can see these happening in the Name of Design.
Modern science came out of religion. To believe that they are in direct opposition is unbelievably narrow.
IMO the fact that the device subsidy is so popular with both consumers and network operators in the US means that all of this ostensibly anti-consumer stuff will be with us for a while. The (hard) SIM cards don't even offer the desired portability if you have to go beg for the device to be unlocked.
If you read the page about the myth, I think the main takeaway is not "mobile users aren't distracted" it's "mobile users are no more distracted than non-mobile users." Therefore, don't require any user in any context to provide 50 data points all at once; design a signup form that can be completed in under 60 seconds regardless of device.

The secondary takeaway is mobile users are more likely to be at home or work than roaming around. I'm not sure what affect that has on UX, maybe as counter to the above, giving users the option to put more time in to a task and/or do one that's more complex.
I don't think the github-solution will make it into the official handbook. People want to have everything on Gentoo-owned infrastructure, which I can understand.
I've tried them as well, and they are very good (and probably the right choice for extremely privacy-minded people), but they are - like most email providers Swiss - very expensive (while not offering the same amount of features that FastMail has, except for in the privacy department).
Breaking your OS's EULA is not the same as violating copyright. Not even close.
Malnutrition is a pretty different claim from starvation ("Let people starve", in the initial comment). I also don't see much evidence that rejected GMO food aid in 2002 (which the above comment talked about) has a big influence on the 2015 numbers.

And worth noting, from your link:

"More than 350,000 people in the country are food insecure"

350,000 from a population of about 14.5 million is ~2.5%. According to the USDA, "An estimated 12.7 percent of American households were food insecure at least some time during the year in 2015"[1]. You can look at various articles on nutrition in the USA as well ("...only half of all children ages 2 to 17 meet federal diet quality standards"[2]).

That's not to say that there aren't issues in Zambia, but I'd need to see more evidence to show that rejecting a specific aid package offered in 2002 (what was being discussed) is the reason for the malnutrition numbers you stated.

Now this sounds very dangerous - one of big problems of declarative style is that it's too easy to accidentally build a system that does much more than you intended, totally killing performance.

There is a very, very big difference between running a search once and re-running it whenever search changes; if you want it one way then you definitely don't want it the other way and that would be a serious problem.

That's not a "in this language" issue, you can do both ways in any language, but this choice you made should be (a) explicit and (b) obvious, which it doesn't seem to be in this case; where a reader can reasonably expect the search to be run once.
All that is from the years it started, after that it's been frozen in time. And unfortunately, the same happened with their moral code.
