Over there in Europe, we have mixed approach which IMO is great

- Highways (including city bypasses etc highway-like roads, not only posted highways) are plenty wide. Like, dual-carriage can easily fit 3 or even 4 trucks next to each other.

- Major fast traffic city streets (no pedestrians, good visibility, preferably crossings are 2-level or controlled) Are wide-ish to drive comfortably, 3 trucks could barely fit on dual-carriage, but 3 cars - easily

- City streets (pedestrians highly possible, cars coming in/out of drives, no speed-up/slow-down lanes, uncontrolled crossings) are just wide enough to drive comfortable at 50km/h. May have speed control features.

- Residential streets. Narrow streets. Parked cars on the sides. Driving at > 30km/h is not comfortable. 2 trucks could hardly pass. Lots of speed control features.

In addition to that, we usually have traffic features that warn of upcoming speed limit. For example, small towns frequently got an artificial S turn or shallow speed bump-. You can easily pass it at 50-ish km/h. Sometimes it's possible at 30 or 70. Which is usually the speed limit for upcoming stretch of the road.

I love this approach. The road itself should tell it's limit. Safe-looking roads that are actually not safe suck. Point in case, we recently had some 2-wide-lanes-one-way streets converted to 2-narrow-lanes + bus lane. I was sceptical at first, but in general traffic calmed down, less assholes, less speeding.

This approach sucks if there're no enough highway(-ish) roads and bypasses though. It's a torture to do a long drive through small cities. On the other hand, it's safer to residents of those cities if people passing through don't speed 2x the limit..
That's not really the point - other manufactures make laptops that are much more powerful than Apple. The ThinkPad P50 can be configured with a Xeon, 4K display and 64GB RAM for nearly the same price as the base 15" MacBook Pro.

Ok maybe it doesn't have all day battery life - but most people, especially people who want "Pro" hardware, probably only need a few hours max.

I've had an Air for two years, and I don't think I've ever been in a situation where I've used the full battery - all international flights and trains I've been on have had power sockets, so I can charge on the go. Plus thanks to USB-C, you can use a power bank to charge your laptop if you need more power:

http://www.macworld.com/article/3028132/consumer-electronics...

Apple is no longer giving consumers a choice, before there was the MacBook (old one) if you wanted a more-affordable entry level machine, the Air if you needed ok performance but great portability, and the Pro if you wanted performance in a laptop package.

Now everything is lumped together with portability as the #1 priority. If Apple had just launched this as a new version of the Air I don't think anyone would be complaining so much.
Hah, I don't know how you were able to see my first edit. It was up for less than ten seconds and I didn't have your comment for some time after I edited it!
Current (highly uncertain) estimates of the number of trees globally are around 3 trillion. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v525/n7568/full/nature1...

The uncertainties are pretty large, but it's reasonable to assume that 400 billion is very much a lower bound.
Worked on google mars in mt view in 2011. Internship.

Totally possible I didn't get to see the full benefit of the culture there. I have however seen friends disappear into google over the years and emerge with a distaste -- obviously the same can be said for amazon. A constant bias disclosure is cumbersome but you're right that it would have been helpful, you've forgotten it on some of your posts as well.

My comments were off base sorry, obviously google does a ton of cool stuff. I let my emotions around this ridiculously biased post get in the way of my reason.
I don't think so. We aren't interested in reconstructing the signal, so if we have 10 samples of the flashing screen we will have 10 bits.

>> if the laptop had 32GB ram but 5hr battery life, folks would complain about it because

Folks will complain no matter what. No version of the Macbook Pro can be everything to everyone.

Having said that, what I find most interesting about these recent debates is the back and forth about how much people actually need. The argument that "well, it's no problem for me, and I do x, y and z!" is not really a good rebuttal, in my opinion.

Everyone is different and everyone has had different experiences.

The people defending the new Macbook Pros need to remember that the complaining isn't coming from outsiders (Windows users) trying to stir the pot -- it's coming from people who love Macs and genuinely want better Macs.

It's important for these people to dissent, because if they don't, Apple will never know if they might have made a decision that negatively affects a significant number of people.
Yes, like jonmurdoch mentioned, calling shell commands from your node application will work.

However, the Docker CLI is really only a CLI and has no magic in it. If I remember correctly, it even talks HTTP to the docker server (please don't take that at face value).

In that case it should be possible to talk directly to docker through HTTP calls.

...indeed, a quick search about "nodejs docker client" gives you a few options, one of which is https://github.com/apocas/dockerode.
True.

I mean in the context as @sampo described it above ...

In the Stanford/Coursera machine learning class, Andrew Ng said that his teaching experience is that students pick up octave/matlab quicker and the course can cover more actual machine learning, compared to python where more time is spent learning the language.

Then "which version of Python, and how is that different..." etc.
Laptop form factor fundamentally goes against high power computing. It's very inelegant and I can see why Apple doesn't want to do it.
I've been using the new 13" for the last few days, and I'm surprised at how much I like the keyboard. I despised the one on the MacBook and figured I'd feel the same about this one, but the keys are much more responsive, tactile, and clicky. I don't feel like I'm tapping on a piece of metal with this one.
From the article:

> We, on the other hand, didn't plan a thing.
> We just built ourselves a powerful apparatus for social control with no sense of purpose or consensus about shared values.

I strictly disagree. We must never forget that just because (perhaps) you and I reading this didn't contribute to this system with a sense of "purpose and ... shared values" that someone else didn't. And we must not forget that those values may not be in accordance with our own.

What appears to be a disorganized mess on the surface may have a much larger design, it's just probably not your design.
Furthermore, in addition to the practical aspects you list, it was actually London City Airport that was evacuated; that's the small, single-runway one in the Docklands.

Because of its steep approach there are only certain specified aircraft types permitted to operate there and anything untoward would be quickly spotted.

It's also 11 miles east of the Ecuadorian embassy, requiring a journey right through the heart of the city. Whereas RAF Northolt is a much quicker and easier trip to the north-west...

I think we see here how 'false news' starts. Unhelpful facts are omitted or made ambiguous, and then mixed with a spoonful of conjecture.
Yeah I was being somewhat facetious :)

In the pro video camera space the mid range cameras and up are modular, so you have an imaging device which is just a cage with a sensor in it to which you attach storage, lenses, monitors, handles, etc.

There must be similar things in the pro laptop space, but it would have to be a hackentosh.

Exactly. Which means the resistance to building a functional population registry does not prevent any wrongdoing but stops the society from getting any of the gains. Like having a meaningful way to prevent non-citizens from voting, avoid identity theft etc.

Great job addressing those 404s.
Having a pipeline built through your lands usually doesn't bring you any jobs, or money.

The people building it come from out of town, the people who will be making money from the pipeline are its owners, and the people who will be picking up the bill if things go pear-shaped will be the people who live there.

If you have any doubts about that, check out how the Exxon Valdez spill was handled. The oil company makes the profits, and can find all sorts of ways to get out of paying for the damages.
I know the author is pitching the immutable infrastructure side, which definitely has its merits. But the ability to so easily diff the image and running state of a container also opens some intriguing opportunities for honeypot automation.

Are there any open source solutions that already take advantage of features like this? Or are those mostly kept secret for security and business reasons at this time?

I can get away with 16gb most of the time as I can push my workload to the cloud.

It's still not as nice as doing it locally and thankfully I'm not the one paying for our cloud compute.
This is definitely one of the main reason we decided to this road for VMs as well at Boxfuse (https://boxfuse.com): minimal images (5 MB for a full VM with a Go application) and immutable infrastructure all the way.
I like the approach Facebook Messenger takes - I can receive messages from anyone who can view my profile, but first time messages from non-friends end up in a special bucket and require approval.

>> Because it's a MacBook; with batteries in it. The value is in the mobility.

For some people. But you can also look at a laptop as being the ultimate "all-in-one" PC.

The only cable you need to plug in is the power cable. For a lot of people, that's more convenient than having to deal with a monitor, keyboard, mouse and desktop with the associated mess of cables and added desk space. That a laptop is portable and runs on a battery is gravy.
I have seen these, but the place that I know locally that has one, has never had the SawStop piece fire - however, it is very good to know that it is there, and the manager in charge of the wood shop feels very relieved about having it.
People concerned about climate change are not asking for money.
A single VM, sure. I get by with 8GB RAM (not a Mac) and can easily handle that. For more complex architectures I use cloud instances. It would be nice to run as many VMs as necessary locally.

What is the purpose for which the "Pro" model is designed, with its limited memory? Other laptops on the market support double the memory, which is useful for numerous applications... video editing, analysis of large datasets, development of applications that require more than just a webserver.
I've got a question sort of related to woodworking, indirectly. Supposed I wanted to build a stool. Just a simple design, with some flat kind of wood for the seat (plywood, maybe?) covered with some padding, and three simple legs consisting of rectangular prism shaped wood.

Even with my limited skills I could manage to find a way to attach the legs to the seat. What I have no idea how to do is figure out, given a particular choice of materials, how much to use. If I know my weight, and know that I'd use the stool for sitting and occasional for standing on when trying to reach something, how thick do I need to make the plywood seat if it is a given length and width, and what cross section do the legs need to bear that load?

I did the obvious thing, and looked for "Structural Engineering for Dummies" or something similar, but did not find anything. From the people I've talked to who build their own things from wood, they either build from published plans, or they use their intuition developed from seeing a lot of successful designs and make theirs similar.
I'll disengage... this argument doesn't really serve our customers well. I'll fully admit that the AWS docs are a pain... but to claim that the google docs are better is... I lack an appropriate adjective.
The TPP countries all got together at APEC and have signaled that they will likely go it alone without the US, potentially with the inclusion of China, whether or not it's all talk we will find out. And it could be that the US will want to stay involved just to keep China out.

The main thing I hope Trump changes his opinion on is climate change, he can do what he wants in the Us - after all the people elected him and it's his mandate. But if he's wrong about climate change he's going to make things hard for the whole planet. We're very close to having to abandon countries like Kiribati, whole countries will be lost within decades if we don't change.

Otherwise, saying you wont hire people and will downsize through attrition is all good and well, but what happens when indispensable people that you can't get from within the organisation leave?

And how is he going to get Mexico to pay for a wall? If you compare it to two properties side by side in a street then both owners should pay halves at least, and the owner who is instigating it may pay more if the other side doesn't really care. Arresting people and putting them in prison for illegally crossing just adds costs, here it costs something like $50k a year to keep a prisoner, I'm guessing the US is similar.
and philosophers of logic, they obsess over it as well.

Although I am pretty agreeable to a someone hacked the election scenario I don't think it is likely to be Russia; Russia wants to destabilize the U.S, but probably not at the cost of putting someone unstable with access to Nuclear armaments at its head.

The best scenario Russian hack would be - make sure Republicans win majority in House and elect Hillary by only a little bit. Next few years investigations and impeachment attempts.

>> Competing laptop manufacturers have options for more ram.

And not just for 32GB, many mobile workstation makers offer up to 64GB. You can also get ECC and mobile Xeons too.
The problem with functional encryption is as you say, you need to hand over the "function" somehow to the server (presumably they use machine learning and tools that aren't feasible client-side), and there's no guarantee the private key is hidden unless you use something like indistinguishibility obfuscation, which isn't really practical at all right now.

Did you mean fully homomorphic encryption? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption#Fully_h...) The server can compute the spam score under the encryption of an email, and client side decrypts and sorts it from there, so not even the server knows if a given email is spam or not. Of course, not that FHE is feasible, but perhaps this special case is...
Can you please provide examples of "cutthroat profit seeking"?

I am looking for numbers.

- Product retail price
- Materials costs
- Sub-assembly costs
- Labor costs

- Operating costs
- Variable costs related to that product or product line
- Inventory levels
- Distribution pipeline details
- Transporation costs
- Cost of distribution
- Insurance
- Legal costs
- Other regulatory costs
- Marketing costs
- Support costs
- Costs incurred due to exchange rate fluctuations

And compare these to the same numbers for the next competitor down the line.

You might just be surprised by what you learn through this simple exercise.

No... priors are precisely about believability.

Any evidence can be explained either by the effect or by experimental error. Your prior is how relatively likely these two possibilities are.

If something is "significant" then it is surprising and requires stronger evidence.
The simplest way (imo) to think about the Oberth effect is "you want to maximize the amount of time you're falling inwards (i.e. speeding up) and minimize the amount of time shooting outwards (i.e. slowing down.)"

It doesn't just work with orbits and rockets and propellants, it works just as well with an oscillating weight on a spring that you flick with your fingers.
Then maybe Apple can start putting Xeons in MacBook Pros. I'm only half joking. The Lenovo ThinkPad P50 has Xeon options, for instance.
I'm sceptical of its supposed 'nuclear proofing'. There are no apparent channels for blast pass-through or dissipation so the full force would act against the entire exposed face of the building. In that case it would act as a giant lever on its foundations.

It looks more like a hugely scaled-up traditional 'bomb-proof' bunker.

As an example of a structure that did survive a much lesser nuclear blast, the Fukoku building in Hiroshima was 270 metres from groud-zero and remained structurally intact as the blast blew through all the aligned windows:

So your clients trade the cost of 4GB RAM (maybe a day or two worth of developer time) for having developers constantly tweak Linux images to run on a laptop with 4GB RAM? This is beyond simply removing packages, because you're talking about memory, not just disk space.
So you would rather us directly fund oppressionist governments around the world, just so you can feel better for the 50 people living in the town next door to the oil fields? Ok.
Also, in order to build the function, the service needs to collect data about both spam and non-spam emails. So simply providing a function that allows you to calculate a score isn't enough; they would need (at least a large percentage of) users to send back information about their email contents as well. (Like embedded links, as mentioned in the post.)
Yea and then you open photoshop and try to do something non-trivial and 8gb vanishes and you start swapping like crazy.

My car - an old Kia Rondo - doesn't look cool at all. And it's hardly any kind of status symbol.

But it gets me places where I need to go, and it lets me take stuff that I need to take. That's the real reason I bought it.
You can work this out from structural engineering principals - Euler's theory of column buckling would likely govern the cross sectional area of the legs.

But yes, you're right, building things from wood is such a time-honored technique that it is rare for this to be required. Millions of stools, cabinets, and timber-framed houses have already been successfully built, so there's no need to reinvent the wheel when you can just copy what has been done previously.
That only moves the problem, though. I get a friend request from a spammer every couple of days.
