I'm late to the discussion, but I'm having a really hard time understanding why the metadata couldn't be leaked. The fact that they pulled the plug and wiped everything sounds incredibly suspicious to me, like they were made an offer they couldn't refuse, or something.

There is a way: it's called the free market. We didn't tax horses to force the innovation of cars and airplanes. Taxation didn't lead to telephones and computers.

When someone develops cheap, plentiful, clean energy at scale, oil will be made redundant. The free market is all about innovation and achieving a competitive advantage.

wikileaks publishes leaked documents. they're propaganda in the sense that they present information under an ethos meant to serve an ideological purpose, but that's a meaning so broad that cnn and npr also easily fall under it. if you take issue with the veracity of what they've published, make a case, but otherwise, calling something 'propaganda' and thinking that alone is somehow a knock to its value or truth is meaningless.

i'm totally willing to believe that russia obtained the emails and gave them to wikileaks -- it's far from proven, at least on the public side of discourse, but it makes sense and doesn't seem impossible or bullshitty to me. but that doesn't mean that the emails aren't real. it's foolish to cover your ears and ignore things just because someone you don't like said it.

wikileaks has also published much, much more than the dnc/podesta emails, from a very wide variety of sources.

Science advances two ways. On the one hand you come up with a hypothesis and test it to see if it matches the evidence you have and usefully predicts behaviour you've not yet seen. I.e. That it has predictive power. Evolution through natural selection has passed this test with flying colours. It successfully predicts outcomes in a vast field of experiments and observations in the wild.

This process builds up a cumulative pile of evidence supporting the theory. On the other hand you construct a test of the theory that can disprove it. So far no such test has been found to disprove evolution.

It's true that we don't yet understand every single biological mechanism and every single facet of developmental biology and how they relate to natural selection. However that's not sufficient to 'disprove' evolutionary theory. To do that you'd need to actually prove that evolutionary theory could not explain them - not that it's unlikely it could explain them, but that it's impossible. As it happens the number of thing evolution has not explained is getting smaller as we find the connections and demonstrate them.

So on the one hand we have vast troves of experimental and observational results successfully explained by evolution and this trove is increasing rapidly. On the other hand, we have some mechanisms or results where it's not yet completely clear if or how evolution explains them, but this number is decreasing. Finally we have no tests that have disproven evolution. At this point this makes Evolution through natural selection one of the most practically successful and predictive theories science has ever produced, right up there with quantum mechanics.

Has it predicted and explained everything in its domain? No. but few theories have yet done that. Even quantum mechanics still has some odd edge cases that are tricky to figure out.

So the thing about 'proving' scientific theories is that it's morevlike 'proving' a piece of forged metal. You test it to see if it breaks. Science is really about usefulness. It's test show whether a theory is useful in solving some call of problems. Evolution through natural selection has so far passed every test it's been given in which a colclusuon has been reached. That's encouraging evidence that it will pass the others as well.

Meanwhile ID has nothing to show whatsoever. It's an intellectual dead end. Personally, I'm very glad my Christian faith doesn't hinge on it.
The Web isn't just for churning out products, it's being used as communication medium by billions every day.

While I kindof like web components and will probably embrace them, I think the uneasiness comes from WHATWG et. al. piling stuff in to browsers which are already monstrosities in terms of functionalities and LOC, especially when there's no new essential functionality gained.

I had hoped WHATWG's work would result in a compact runtime description (as much as possible) of what a user agent is supposed to do, for web developers to build on.
But all that's happened really is that Chrome/webkit (which was in an entrepreneurial position at the beginning, too) has gained dominance in the process, and there's less of a chance than there ever was that a new browser runtime could be developed from scratch.

Rather than spec'ing out core functionalities (personally, I had hoped for a langsec profile of Javascript, and a formal semantics for CSS), WHATWG is significantly extending the scope of the spec with web components, and soon, WebAss.
It’s really the "Macbook Air Pro” imo.

Portable and powerful is PERFECT for digital nomads and business travellers. A portable powerhouse that can be thrown in a day bag and taken to cafe’s, coworking spaces, lugged through airports and around new cities.

But that’s not the “Pro Market"

Apple should have released this iteration as the new Macbook Air or dropped the Air and called it a “Macbook”. Nobody would have complained.

Then, released a new lineup of Macbook Pros around the same size as the previous generation and dropped quad core processor in the 13” model. Maybe even squeeze in a discrete GPU like the new GTX 1060 or GTX 1080. Nobody would have complained then.
Gwynne's Grammar: The Ultimate Introduction to Grammar and the Writing of Good English [1] is an amusing overview of English grammar that provides bite-sized lessons that don't shy away from the irreducible complexity of English without becoming overly pedantic.

I also like A Student's Grammar of the English Language by Sidney Greenbaum and Randolph Quirk. [2] It is a difficult book, but the subtle taxonomies used in linguistic study actually make sense of matters that are confusing if you only know the type of grammar usually taught to non-specialists in middle or high school.

Interesting, I wanted my 27-inch iMac to have a builtin battery, so that it doesn't crash when there's a power cut. Even a five-minute runtime is enough, for it to shut down in an orderly manner. I have a UPS, but it would be better if the computer had it inbuilt, like a laptop. That's one of the advantages of a laptop for me.

I'd also like an 18- or 19-inch laptop with an Ultra HD screen. Apple could put in the biggest battery they're allowed to (100W in the US, for flights) and let it have whatever battery life it has. I think of it being portable in the sense of moving it to another room in the house, say to watch a movie in my bedroom, or to get work done in my home office, not that I'll take it with me when I go out.
thanks for the details.
> "The Falcon came later and was unsuccessful compared to the ST."

Agreed, though the Falcon was a big step up in terms of audio hardware due to the addition of the DSP.

To hear the difference the DSP made, search on YouTube for 'ACE Tracker Falcon'. This is my personal favourite:

http://youtu.be/xxXCGSJ9nT0

I like this one too, and it's probably a better technical showcase:

http://youtu.be/kXzMkO83jA8

In comparison, here's a decent ST chiptune. Musically it's still enjoyable to listen to, but the difference in audio hardware compared to the Falcon should be fairly clear:

Pain is probably the same in humans, animals, and even robots, that is to say a bad thing that should be minimised. So I would be very wary of programming AI to feel pain. See this tweet: https://twitter.com/webmasterdave/status/793408981121269760
I don't travel as much anymore (I used to), but I still spend a lot of time working from cafes that don't have a power outlet, and right now I'm sitting next to a lake and watching the ducklings run around. Being able to work outdoors in sunlight is a huge improvement to quality of life.

That said - I would gladly take the 32GB and extra thickness. I'm running off a MBP mid-2012 as it is (bought in 2015), so I'm used to extra thickness & about 2kg weight. And even the 2012 gets a solid 7 hours battery life, whereas reviews say the TouchBar MBP model is struggling to manage 6 hours.
All the money in mobile is in the base stations, not in the handsets, and Qualcomm (3rd largest semi conductor company behind Intel and Samsung) completely dominates the IP in that market.

Citation needed.

From the second half of your comment, I think it's possible you are confusing the base band processor[1] with base stations. Qualcomm does have a lot of IP in baseband processors, and has made a lot of money from them. However, baseband processors are on the handset not the base station.

It's also incorrect to think that mobile CPUs aren't a large market. They aren't Intel size, but they are quite substantial. The majority of Qualcomm's revenue is from CPU sales[2] (although SoCs like the Snapdragon include the baseband processor on the same chip)

In 2016, "buy a desktop" is no longer the only answer when talking about professional work. Like--check out what Sager offers. You can buy a fully kitted-out 17" notebook from them that meets or exceeds the top-end iMac in every respect (equal CPU, twice the RAM, significantly better GPU) except pixel density (a mere 170 versus 216) for a thousand dollars less than the top-end iMac--and you can carry it with you.

It's not uber-thin and light, no; this is a literal desktop replacement and weighs twelve pounds. It's not the machine I'd buy, because I don't need a GTX 1080 in a portable machine--but that machine is equivalent to Apple's best, actually-serious desktop while being cheaper and portable! It goes without saying that you can scale down to something that's a little more reasonable for a physical-effort-averse nerdy type and still get something that's very favorable compared to Apple's offerings, both in terms of perf and price.

Apple missed the memo: you really can have both, these days. Maybe they don't care about that audience anymore, and that's their prerogative, but it's why I'm probably bouncing back to Windows/Linux. (Dual-booting. Ew.)
Unfortunately, you're misunderstanding stoicism. It's a very different way of looking at life, that can take a very long time to grasp.

I believe there is another group: People who like control, when everyone involved understands and agrees with it.

It can be very hard, and it involves a consistent questioning of authority. Including the authority of ourselves, and the authority we hold over others.

We can have modern medicine, but we have to trust the people researching it.
We can have modern robots, but we have to trust the people building them.

Fear is a great way to prevent people from questioning. But if we learn to question our fear itself, it can be useful to have been afraid.
I agree with many posters in this thread that Apple is taking "thin and light" to an extreme. I'd want other things than thinness and lightness, like being able to configure it with a 4TB spinning hard disc + a small SSD, configured as a Fusion Drive. This 4TB bus-powered hard disc https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZTRXFBA/?tag=thewire06-20&linkC... is only 0.8 inch thick, as opposed to the Macbook Pro's 0.6 inch thickness. I'd gladly take the additional 0.2 inch thickness for having lots of storage.

I'd also want it to have an upgradeable memory and storage.

SSDs are still unaffordable — the Macbook Pro with 2TB SSD costs more than $4000! While the aforementioned 4TB hard disc costs only $100.
The "a few water tanks" is the bit that adds up - open air surface storage pools are far more commonly used than tanks, and as the aim is to get the used fluid to evaporate, rather than trucking it away, you optimise for maximal surface area. I know that's not the intended course of action, but it's a common resource extraction strategy - disposing of waste properly is an expense that can be avoided by making your waste magically disappear.

Thing is, in many places it rains, and the waste water doesn't evaporate, it just remains until a government body cleans it up or the pool membrane ruptures and it enters the water table - many smaller operators wind up after extraction, and leave their tailings for the EPA to deal with, and reincorporate and move on to the next parcel. Again, not just fracking - applies to a lot of stuff where waste is produced.

So, while in a perfect world fracking uses little land, in reality, it uses rather a bit - and is being heavily state subsidised both directly and indirectly.

All of that said, a silver lining might be that wellhead sites end up too polluted to be used for anything but solar farms.

Strange question? Any reason you are asking?
If that were the case, there would be no need for biology. It's one thing to say that life is made up of physical stuff. It's another entirely to say it's indistinguishable from physics. That's a form of extreme reductionism that isn't born out by science, although one can adopt a philosophical view that physics is all there is. Epistemologically, we humans can't explain life only in terms of physics, thus the reason for biology.
Jaguar unveils all-electric I-Pace SUV
I pre-ordered as I am a very happy OpenPandora owner. It's a full Linux (especially now that I have Debian on it) and I can VNC or SSH with tablets and phones to it. When closed it consumes very little battery, it has tons of games and I can do full dev on it. The only annoying thing for me is an ARM thing; GHCi still doesn't seem to work on ARM, but that's a minor annoyance and last I check it is close to getting there.

Edit: to be honest; the Pyra is almost perfect for me (when using it with a $30 Android tablet as monitor it is very close). Currently my perfect all day computer would be a 10 inch tablet running (native) Linux with a stand, 3g and 15+ hrs battery life. I really like the MS foldable mobile keyboard but the only Linux ready stuff are full laptops or chromebooks. The chromebooks have no 3g unfortunately.

I'm not sure I agree. If I understand Stoicism correctly a Stoic wouldn't work on changing the system or getting into a better position himself. A real Stoic at heart would therefore be just as good as a believer in your system.

The reason why it's not widely taught may come from that Stoicism hasn't growth wired into it, like Christianity or Islam has. If a Stoic is content with a world outside of his power, then he has no need to convert others to Stoicism.

I'll add my own anecdote:

I had an RSI "scare" about ten years ago while I was a student and similar things worked for me. I started to wear fingerless gloves or other things to keep my joints warm while typing and I took steps to reduce non-physical stress. I also took more breaks and made an effort to keep my hands aligned better. I did the latter two first and by themselves didn't notice any change but all together, my pain went away.

Now I try to not type with cold hands when possible, try to keep my joints neutrally positioned and not type for too long at a time. I also used a mechanical keyboard for a long time (which requires very little pressure to activate the keys) and learned the Colemak keyboard layout. I haven't had any relapses although on busy days I can sometimes feel pressure building in my hands (I then take a break and do some stretches).
