Sure, cold hard cash would suffice, but imaginary Internet points won't do. But even with cash there comes a point where you would turn off IPFS, because the alternative would be to have a dead phone for the rest of the day.

> Thankfully, I don't think it would be possible for my phone to consume that much power in a day.

Perhaps not that much battery, but it is quite easy to deplete your battery in much less than a day by having your hotspot on constantly, which is what IPFS would require.
I taught my two kids long division in about ten 40-minute sessions spread over 5 days. I sat with each child as we learnt the procedure. To begin with I held the pencil and asked questions, then the child took over the writing and I monitored to fix mistakes until finally the task could be performed/practiced solo.

In this one-on-one practice approach misconceptions are eliminated quickly at the start. It could not easily be replicated in a large group. Instead the approach in the article seems to be about groups of people identifying each other's misconceptions. Either way the effectiveness lies in avoiding bad habit formation.

If you look at YouTube each method of arithmetic has variants and you can pick the one that looks best. e.g. I chose a method of multiplication with consistent placing for the carries which reduced error considerably over what I was taught at school.

If the currency falls by 20%, while the prices of imported goods will rise, it's unlikely that they will rise by 20%. A big part of the cost is local (e.g. internal shipping, running UK-based warehouses, tax), so remain unaffected.

In other words, the fall in the value of the pound has not suddenly pushed Apple's costs up by more than £300 per laptop.

Every time someone I know professionally has uttered something like "I do the same job to the same quality", it simply wasn't true.

I'd rather say that the main discomfort coming from salary discussions is not caused by money, but about having some people acknowledge that they're not as "good" or valuable (in that setting) as they'd like to think. Social status and "saving face" is very important, and open salaries essentially force some people to be publicly downranked - either by having salaries reflecting their worth (showing some people as not equal to others) or by having mostly salaries (downplaying people who do deserve more).

Often, ignorance actually is bliss; as the lower paid people can keep believing that they're equally valued - opening the salaries can't make them equally valued, they're still be low-paid, but now they'll be angry about it.
Agree. Linux users tend to be more technical though so they are often the most vocal on the internet.
I think I'd rather see another referendum once the cost of leaving becomes apparent.
A second is enough time to consciously register an ad. To prove it, they could run a bit where someone shouts "50 percent?!" with a picture of an iPad and "Tap! 50% off". I'll bet people start tapping by the second or third impression (even though it's obviously a scam of some kind).
Do you transport your laptop in it's original packaging?

Not declaring is "Steuerhinterziehung", which is the one crime the state really does care about and which is punished comparatively to second-degree murder in Germany.

You better declare. And if you cross the border with something even remotely newish-ly looking, you better have an invoice for that.

A maxxed out mbp costs €5000, this must be some kind of world record.
I respect your opinion, however I think you're placing way too much value on features that haven't changed in many generations of this. If you want to argue that they are still recovering R&D costs on unibody cases, a keyboard, and the near abandonment of their desktop hardware AND OS lineup. Then I'm going to bow out gracefully :)
Say, if you buy a laptop from Switzerland and don't unbox it in Switzerland, getting caught might be an issue. If you buy one in Switzerland, unpack it there (maybe log into it for the first time etc.) and then there is virtually no risk of getting caught. I mean, if you didn't declare that and customs find it, is the customs office go through all your credit card purchases or something(assuming that you didn't use cash)?
> Streaming _is_ downloading.

No, it is not. Not from a legal perspective, which is all that matters in this context. With seeding you are making things worse for yourself, as you are not merely downloading but also distributing. Seeding is also relevant with regards to downloading, as IPFS automatically starts seeding what you download.
Windows Tablets have existed for a decade. They just did not have the build quality of an iPad. Now they do. I don't call that some major innovation.

Showing my 6 yr old daughter & 4 year old son, youtube videos of tooth decay and explaining what happens if you do not brush or eat too much candy. This has helped them both become self aware and I have never had to force them to take care of their teeth.
Yeah, my personal guess is that animals have a place in even the ideal, most efficient agricultural system, even if it is at a lower intensity than in modern American agriculture.

Sheep and cattle can graze on land that is not useful for crops. Pigs can eat food waste and reclaim those calories. Chickens can forage in suburban spaces and convert corn quite efficiently.

We might be better off feeding less corn to livestock, but keep in mind field corn is one of the most productive crops in modern agriculture -- either we need to start feeding humans a lot more corn meal, or you're stuck planting a less efficient crop in place of corn. Growing corn to feed to pigs and chickens, while supplementing their diet with foraging and food waste, is not that crazy of a prospect, from a land use perspective.
I'm still convinced this is an excuse to bring Touch ID to a Mac, and to allow for more secure login. I don't think the Touch Bar is useful for people who are already adept at not looking at their keyboard. But who knows...

I don't have an answer for you, but maybe it stems from some sort of idea of identity? Maybe the car sends a message authenticated with your license ID. Cars are (hand waves) able to authenticate the validity of a message. If you send a message saying you were in a collision, that comes with the side effects of saying you were in a collision - emergency contacts and police may be notified, maybe something pings cars registered to you to see if it was actually in an accident based on sensor data. Your insurance rates may go up. If it turns out you were lying, maybe your car gets flagged for repairs next time you try to re-register your tags. Or maybe you are flagged for trolling and you get the "boy who cried wolf" effect.
Thing is when it goes up they take an awful long time to adjust it.
Agreed. Personally, I take supplements as a way to complement my normal diet -- not to substitute it. Once in a while, when it's not possible to have a real food meal, those MRPs can be also very handy.
Learning from Google’s Cloud Storage Evolution
The commercials very prominently suggested replacing breakfast and lunch with Slim-Fast shakes, so much so that "a shake for breakfast, one for lunch, and a sensible dinner" was basically their unofficial slogan. Obviously it was still marketed for weight loss, but the suggested use is strikingly similar to what a lot Soylent advocates suggest.
I'm Swiss and I think it's kind of the same thing. Don't look there for pleasantries. Hey Buddy! Hmm why iz zhat strange person calling me a 'Buddy', I don't even know him!

I think most germanic languages are just much more focused on information content. On the other hand I can get into deep discussions with strangers, even disagreeing with each other, but not get emotional in any way, actually even enjoying the exchange. With Americans I feel there's a mountain of smalltalk and pleasantries to conquer until you can start being sincere. However that might also just me not understanding the culture enough to do that correctly.
But how much fast food has paid attention to those things? That Soylent is not perfect does not mean it's not better than the likely alternative.

Food like this that's specifically tuned to your own metabolism would be fantastic of course, but just getting some healthy stuff into you instead of whatever the vending machine sells, is already an enormous improvement for a lot of people.
Show HN: Sweet Services
I locked myself out of my car and it took an hour to find an available locksmith and then another hour to wait for them. And those two hours cost me $80. The same thing again happened when trying to find a plumber for a leak. That experience was enough for me to create this site. I thought it was ridiculous that within 30 minutes I could order a pizza, a car, get booze delivered, but doing the same to find a service that actually would to help me with a real time sensitive problem was frustrating and not streamlined.

Post your services on here if you offer them. Any suggestions to get sellers, buyers and general awareness would be great (enough for 1 person to do by themselves). Sorry the site looks like shit, but I'll eventually make it classy.

This headline is misleading/disingenuous.

They are taking the difference between the base price in the US excluding taxes and the UK price including VAT to calculate the difference, rather than the difference between the NY price - which includes local sales taxes and is therefore a more accurate comparison.

In which case the price increase is 'only' about 10% - which is still quite a bit but not what the headline would have you believe.
Shouldn't they raise their prices by 25% to compensate for that though?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, UK.

Y'all check out some Chromebooks now, and maybe even consider some odroid products. I have a cardboard phone box with a little crappy USB fan ziptied onto it, a small keyboard and standalone 8" hdmi display. Fits into my lunchbox, can stream 1080p,do whatever I want, and for the price of the new MBP I can build ten more.

Play stupid games...
AFAIK, the Irish price difference is due to VAT charged at 23% as opposed to 19% & 20% for DE & FR.

The Ex VAT prices are:
IE - €2682
DE - €2688
FR - €2665

Poland also charge VAT @ 23%.

Exactly! The (already quite old) Ubuntu 14.04 that I use is reasonably well polished for me. However some of the apps I use/want are missing.
Because the moment someone does that, like we have seen before, the voices will rise "why not distribution X?".

Right now I only bother with Ubuntu, because regardless how many in GNU/Linux love to hate them, they are the only ones that seem to bother with a full stack experience.

Still it is quite short of what I enjoy when using either macOS or Windows.

For me being a developer isn't a synonym of UNIX.
The price is roughly the same (inflation adjusted) as the original 2006 Macbook Pro. Things have certainly improved since the original Powerbook, which was around $12k in today's dollars.

My background is in music, where folks routinely pay 10x for an instrument that is 20% better (arbitrary numbers, but I think the point holds). If you're a developer, your laptop is your "axe" that you make money with day in and day out. Does it really matter if it costs $1k or $3k? If it makes an employee half a percent more productive, what is that worth to a business?
>consumer spending may well take a hit //

As a non-economist I imagine that spending would remain similar, just it's going to buy far less. Which should mean retail layoffs.

Re your footnote we seem to have a massive trade deficit, that's got to make the massive shift in the pound pretty apocalyptic for the UK economy.

The news reports that say "see everything's fine post-Brexit" are terribly foreboding as they seem to be carefully gauged propaganda, and we've not even left Europe yet and as someone noted currency hedges have protected us from major price shifts so far. To me that says someone is petrified about what's going to happen when the public notice how desperately bad this all is.

Whoever is pulling Theresa May's strings just needs to keep the lid on for a couple more months; I wonder it they can do it.
I think it goes against a lot of people's idea of efficieny. Why should each person need to research, source, and mix their own MRP if we have similar needs?
I agree that driver support is one of the main problems.
But someone that will sell the OS can make money to solve that, right?

I'm fine with a small set of HW as well.
20% smaller battery on a device that consumes 50% less power = thinner device and longer battery life.
A quote from Brian Goetz which reminds us of the reasons not all code benefits from being run in parallel:

"A parallel execution always does more work than a sequential one, since — in addition to solving the problem — it also must decompose the problem, create and manage tasks to describe the subproblems, dispatch and wait for those tasks, and merge their results. So the parallel execution always starts out "behind" the sequential one and hopes to make up for the initial deficit through economy of scale."

Cooking still takes time.

For anything decent, you need AT LEAST 30 minutes, usually more like 60+.

And then comes the cleaning of pots, pans, filling the dishwasher.

That's a WHOLE HOUR I could be wasting my time on HN instead!
No, the pretensioner just has to beat the deceleration of the car. The goal is to retain (or even pull in) the passenger in the seat to reduce the impact on the airbags.

Typically the pretensioner will pull in on the order of 10-12cm of webbing, this is done via a pyrotechnic charge. To be fully effective, the pretensioner would then need to deploy about 110-120 milliseconds before the airbags (which will deploy in 40 ms or so.)

So then it falls on the car's sensors and computer to detect with sufficient advance notice the impending crash. With modern radars (like the ones in newer mercedes cars...) they should be able to gain most of that time at least for frontal crashes.
Depends on what kind of crash it is. My dumb guess is that most crashes can be predicted by sensors in advance of the moment of impact, perhaps by significant multiples of 150ms.

For example consider a crash where your car slips on ice and drives right into a tree. Before you hit the tree there's gonna be all kinds of crazy steering and braking attempts that sensors could detect, and the accelerometers are gonna show weird lateral ice-slipping motions.
Not included is the price for the UAE: AED 11,099.00 = 3022.11 USD.

No tax in UAE and Dubai is such a transit hub that its a pretty good saving if you are going to be passing through soon.
Contrary to the HN demography, most people are not touch-typists, and most don't use keyboard shortcuts. Having an interactive, contextual bar of action buttons makes actions that normally require several clicks more discoverable to them.

It's easy to forget how unremarkable the dino seemed at the time. Dino was very much a part of the image, and the site. For a lot of the early dino's and more backstory, see the artist's (Dave Titus) site[1]. He was still there when Netscape was mature[2]. Even the "Soviet" version seemed fitting at the time.

Going on the current progress of Mozilla's rebranding exercise[3] a reimagined Dino doesn't seem likely, and the Dino variation isn't great either. To digress I'm still unimpressed with the rebranding efforts.

Not really. We have organ-growing capability, we don't have organ repair capability. It's easier to repurpose the former than invent the latter.
This series isn't supportive of gender based discrimination, it simply acknowledges the physical fact that men and women exists as two separable groups, and then asks question to a small sample of the underrepresented group.

There are undeniable differences between women and men, and pretending that they don't exists, as you suggest, doesn't make them go away. It merely means that one of the groups will not have their specific requirements considered.
Actually, the prices have been increased here in the UK.

Example, the iMac model went up some £300 for no reason. The Mac Mini increased all models within the range by around 16%.

Out of curiosity which Chromebook?
There are 4 laptops I'd buy right now (if I could):

- Asus ZenBook Pro UX501VW (15.6")

- MacBook Pro 2016 (15.6")

- Dell XPS (13" or 15")

- Lenovo X1 Carbon

If you don't like the MacBook Pro (or think it's too expensive), then I'd go with the ZenBook Pro.
I wasn't sold on it with the colour changing demos, that seemed a gimmick at best. The haptic feedback basically just makes it an on-screen mouse which is within easy reach, which is cool, you don't have to search for e.g. ctrl+z or a button off to the side to undo.

But what really got my attention was the ruler. That opens up a natural way of drawing lines which just work, as compared to either using an actual ruler on your tablet (which hopefully works), or selecting a line tool and guesstimating the line you want (which you then adjust afterwards) etc.

I'm looking forward to see what other uses for it they can come up with.
If that's the case, then Linux is an alternative to you. However a lot of apps people use are Mac OS specific. I know for damn sure I couldn't live without UniBox for email at this point.
I might consider that myself given lots of flights go through there and i have a trip soon. Do they sell with keyboards where the '@' is on the 2?
All your points here are simply false. You can buy a better MacBook today than 4 years ago but for the same price in US Dollars as four years ago.
IIRC, he returned his last trial-Surface device and bought one with his own cash.

Based on the article (he's been lent this device for the last week or so), I imagine the same thing may well happen if he's happy with it - which it sounds like he may be.
Doesn't Soylent contain extra fibers specifically for this purpose? I don't use it, but I recall Reinhart blogging that he added fiber because he was worried about this exact issue.
Particularly when you are inundated in valley slave culture, being busy all the time is a sign of your importance - you're busy disrupting the market getting ready to IPO, and if you have 10 spare minutes a day in which to regain some semblance of health or sanity, clearly you aren't a 10x developer. It's absolute hogwash and sadly a good number of brilliant young engineers are going to burn out, suffer health consequences, quit the field, etc. over it.

But having employees willing to sacrifice their actual wellbeing for the pipe-dream of getting "rich" is quite beneficial if you're say, a VC, so of course they foster this culture. "Look at how busy you are, you must be doing such important work!"
> A big part of the cost is local (e.g. internal shipping, running UK-based warehouses, tax), so remain unaffected.

It really isn't: http://fitsmallbusiness.com/order-fulfillment-costs/

Also, Apple's costs (in USD) haven't increased. It's just that they get fewer dollars for a fixed amount of British pounds. To keep the USD they receive constant, they have to increase the price in GBP.
True, but even then, they have to pay UK taxes, someone in the UK to ship it to your door, a UK-based accounting firm for filing accounts, etc. Plus, they have UK warehouses for their UK shops, and those costs are spread across online and offline sales.
I was under the impression that Touch ID is actually less secure than a sufficiently complex passcode/phrase. It's certainly easier to find a good fingerprint from someone than it is to read their mind and extract a password.

There's a great book called "The Collapse of Parenting" [1] that talks about this. It obviously expands on these ideas, but here are a few notes:
- Many parents confuse self-esteem with courage
- To be courageous means to recognize the risks and your own limitations, but you find the resolve to move forward anyway. Bloated self-esteem means you aren't aware of your deficiencies
- The right kind of humility means you recognize your own shortcomings and you are better prepared to take risks

It's a phenomenon I've noticed with gas prices. When the price of oil goes up, gas provides immediately follow. When the price of oil goes down, the price reduction seems to lag a bit.

Maybe I'm imagining things, but that's the gist I got in the mid-2000s.
Dude, if your mother was discriminated based on her gender, and you share that gender, you know that her story of discrimination (in the workplace, say) likely applies to you. If you're a man, you know that scare story doesn't apply to you.
What's the connection between the 'stupid game' and Chromebooks?
Bingo. Many of us here in Australia complain about the prices being exorbitant - the same Apple computer that's marketed as $1,799 USD sells for $2,699 AUD. Take off the GST and you get $2,453 AUD.

1 USD = 1.32 AUD, and 1.32 * $1,799 = $2,374.

So that's a $79 AUD markup on the product applied on Apple's part for buying it in Australia (with the rest being tax that's out of Apple's hands). Yes it's a non-zero markup but the AUD/USD isn't exactly a stable exchange rate so it makes sense that Apple won't align it to exactly the same amount.

Consider that at the start of this year the US pricing of the MBP would have been equivalent to $2,621 AUD, and that in May it would have only been $2,302 AUD. Also consider that this time 4 years ago, the same $1,799 USD would have been $1,741 AUD. If you're a company that doesn't want to change its prices daily, it's hard to set a perfect price in international markets.
