I'm planning to build my own SaaS application and I totally understand what you are feeling. I won't say billing, auth etc are non-product things but I do feel that all the SaaS companies pretty much reinvent the wheel every time they write billing and auth code. I'm a PHP developer and I work mostly on Laravel. Laravel's creator definitely felt the same and he created Laravel Spark. Spark is basically a boilerplate for SaaS apps. It includes boilerplate for Authentication, teams, billing, subscription etc. It costs $99 which isn't a lot for all the things it offers. I'm not sure if any other framework offers such stuff.

P.S I'm not related to Laravel or Spark in any way.

I wouldn't.
I wouldn't be surprised if its what a standard pressure washer can do (3k PSI) as they claim to use parts from "other industries".

I doubt the pressures are much above 10k PSI as there isn't the power to generate those pressures with a reasonable flow from a standard US outlet.

18th-Century news pamphlets were the primary way of getting news and were often full of scurrilous, false information and nakedly partisan. So I'm not sure I can see this as some sort of new and unprecedented problem.
Users that rarely use their laptop on the go do not have the same concerns as me.
Thanks for the links.

There's also the issue of false balance (Edit: which is the point of your links, actually, so I'm just stating explicitly). I think the media, in an attempt to appear more unbiased, has been more giving air to statements which are misleading or arguably not true. Politicians have noticed this and taken advantage of it. (This is independent of actual bias in the media.)

Yes, this is how I explain it to her, there is no sexism in there. She is very smart, but not in the same domains, she loves history and books which I do not know anything about, so she wanted to understand what I do, just curiosity.
It won't be about her, I'm not a pervert to show her in my blog. But she inspired me this series. So, why not refereing to her in the title? That's a bit like a tribute to her who inspired me, that's sentimental. No offense.
(BTW, I she is a bit confused about some reactions, and she is glad I was thinking to her when I wrote those posts)
Again apoligies for those who thought it was sexist or anything else. By no mean I wanted to offend you.
Chelsea was sentenced in 2013, well under the influence of the Obama administration. (Ditto for the leaks, in 2010) Typically the presidential pardons we see are the last minute stamp of ideology, not undoing of their legacy.
> Just that the electoral college is a ridiculous system in the first place and should be gotten rid of.

Chesterton's fence strikes again.[0]

The electoral college addresses a real issue, and "the electoral college is a ridiculous system" is not an argument for removing/replacing it.

If you want to see the electoral college replaced or reformed, you need to at least demonstrate that you understand why it exists in the first place.

Hint: it's not because they weren't aware of the simpler "winner takes all" approach with the popular vote.

Critical thinking is orthogonal to intelligence, imo. Which is why I think it should be taught with the same importance as reading and math. Perhaps it is a tautology, but as far as I know its the ONLY thing that could save you from a clever piece of false propaganda.

PC Laptop world is actually really competitive. Check out Razer, Alienware, Yoga line, and Microsoft Surface.

They're innovating like crazy. Touch screens, OLED displays, external GPUs, different form factors, VR capable performance, etc. And many of those laptops integrated Thunderbolt 3 a while ago.

Regrettably, Apple has us all locked into their ecosystem via software so it feels like they are the only ones innovating.

Why do you assume that? The conclusion sounds correct, the bubbles favor candidates that have no chance otherwise, because the bubbles protect people from outside influence. Essentially making "democracy" more "democratic".
Court Dismisses Pam Geller's Lawsuit Against the DOJ for Facebook's Moderating
The particles in the flow won't hit the nozzle much at all, since the average flow is tangential to the nozzle walls. Even if the flow is highly turbulent inside the nozzle, there is a boundary layer where the velocity becomes zero. However, when the flow impacts a solid object, the particles can't "keep up" with the fluid splashing away due to their inertia, so they hit the solid object at high speed.

Particles in turbulent flow are characterised by (among others) the Stokes number [1], which says something about how well the particles follow the flow. This depends e.g. on the particle size, roughness, and the density difference between solid and fluid.

I imagine they have tuned the Stokes number to an optimal tradeoff between cutting speed and nozzle/fluid line wear.

"climate change" isn't caused by people unless you think the climate never changed before humans were involved.

The question is what portion of the change is contributed by recent human industrial activity and I don't think that is particularly well quantified.
If what the grandparent comment pointed out was deliberate rather than a goof by a inexperienced developer, then it steps right into the sociopath box.

> I've looked online and it appears that the 530 is about 20% slower than the 2015 rMBP 15" iGPU.

This is probably due to the increased screen resolution. If you make the resolutions of both models the same I suspect it will be comparable or faster in benchmarks.

(2015 MBP default resolution of 2880×1800 vs new, 3360×2100)

Something similar happened with iPads came out with retina displays. Pushing lots of pixels consumes more performance.
That does not match the intent of the headline, which makes it a form of clickbait as opposed to an "Announcing a Clear Letter of Equity and Remuneration" headline.
I'm not sure I understand your point although I understand and partially agree with your arguments. Because we do not precisely know how intelligence works (because surely we agree it exists) that means that we can never create an equally powerful version we have or you disagree about the creation of a better version. There is nothing to prevent us from doing the first
It just happened to get a whole bunch of press coverage after he won the election. That's not quite the same thing.
Here's one of the biggest in terms of suspected havoc wreaked by "experts". Literally all my life (and I turn 56 RSN), dietary saturated fats and most especially cholesterol were BAD things.

Today, from health.gov "Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption. (hmmm, the "for overconsumption" was added recently or this is a different document, anyway, that's from "https://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015-scientific-report/...)

And if Gary Taubes and company are right, the resulting push from fats to carbohydrates has been responsible for perhaps the worst 1st world heath catastrophe in modern times....

But, yeah, the liberal love to laugh at those fat Middle Americans, who got that way by following the government's dietary guidance, which was based on liberals enforcing from the top down their "reality".
It's just the biggest story, not the most recent.

The most recent would be everyone getting the polls wrong by assuming Obama turnouts and ignoring the enthusiasm gap at the rallies. To his credit, Nate Silver realized we were just 'one normal polling error away from electing Trump' only to get attacked for not showing 98-99% odds of Clinton as you can read here:

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/nate-silver-huffington...

There's a reasonable range of disagreement. But a model showing Clinton at 98% or 99% is not defensible based on the empirical evidence.

I agree with your second paragraph. There is no right prioritization, only different ones.

But there are right facts. And if the basis of someone's prioritization is "climate change isn't even happening, so of course we shouldn't do anything to fight it" then I think it's reasonable to call that position uninformed.

The problem isn't that some people think it's unimportant. The problem is that many people think it's not even real.

And again with the removal of the CD drives and Ethernet ports. Does anybody really miss any of those things? I'm sure the loss of RS-232 ports and floppy drives caused some people pain during the transition, but the world moved on and it will move on again.

One other contributor (and I hear this often repeated but rarely substantiated) was 24 news. There's only so many facts to present (and facts are difficult to find and vet). To fill the extra time they focused more on pundits and opinions. Since this was now a majority of the content each side got stronger and more polarized. I still think this has a stronger effect than people realize because not everyone uses computers.

I try to do what they recommend and it's tough to listen to both sides. They start with the basis you're already supporting them so they skip the "foundation" of their argument and the content generally is lies and condescension for the other (to be clear, I'm talking about both sides).
Foreign-born seems like a bad metric for diversity. For example if you had an American city where 50% of the population was from Canada, I wouldn't call that very diverse.
There was plenty of progress in the laptop market before Apple became the power-player that it is today. Did Apple play a part? Yes. Did many of the other companies that have since gone out of business, merged, or still exist today? Yes.

Personally, I don't think touch interfaces are progress - for laptops (or desktops). There are many reasons this is true, but the biggest one for me is that your finger obscures things on the display when you use it, and there is often very poor or no tactile feedback. The touchbar idea is not entirely new. I think HP or Dell had some laptops years ago that used touch slider interfaces to adjust screen brightness or volume. Adding a display to that touchbar doesn't help that much as your finger just obscures whatever you are touching. Knobs, switches, and dials are better suited for this kind of work - which is why people complain about shallow keystroke movement on keyboards. The less and less key movement there is, the closer you are to a touch display.

The only reason that Apple is pushing touch interfaces like that is so they can reduce the unit cost and (maybe) improve the water/ingress resistance. It's the same reason they are removing ports. And yes, removing external physical interfaces may improve things like water resistance - but they make it harder for humans to use.
This hack is not a good idea. In most states you have to pay that year's franchise tax (the $800 in CA) before you are allowed to dissolve the company or surrender your qualification, and there are also filing fees for each of these things so you will never save money doing this way and will instead pile up more fees.

In general legal and tax is not the place where you want to be trying to innovate.
Have you seen any projects successfully selling the source code of a fully open source application/library and making a non-trivial amount?

I've seen some projects which receive some funding by charging for compiled binaries, but that revenue is for the additional service of compiling/supporting the use of pre-compiled binaries IMO.
Yeah I agree that they are competitive, that's why they can add stuff but can't remove. Adding is easy. Adding is always good, which means it's easy to make that decision, but removing requires "courage" (haha I just can't help it although I agree with the term)

For example, it would be an idiotic move for Microsoft Surface to remove USB cables and headphone jacks because as far as hardware is concerned they're an underdog.

5K displays won't cost $1000 for much longer. Right now they are premium products but soon they'll be the norm. By then, adding a good enough GPU to the screen will make sense (because your laptop doesn't need to carry - and feed - more brains than needed to push pixels to the built-in display) and, if the user wants more, they'll use whatever is installed in their computers.
Various common models, in order of simplicity and effectiveness:

- License it under a copyleft license. Works the same as what you describe, except s/commercial/proprietary/, and is completely compatible with the FOSS ecosystem. You get paid by any company (or individual) who wants to ship proprietary software built on your code.

- Work for a company that gains revenue by releasing the code, and pays you accordingly. For instance, a company that sells more hardware because of the code.

- As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, charge for compiled binaries, for the convenience of non-developers.

- Provide a paid service based on the code.

- Require payment up front before releasing the software (crowdfunding model). Only works before you write/release the software, and benefits from an established reputation.
Unfortunately, I do not have any data, only my own experiences. I have spent much of the past year debunking countless fake news stories posted to Facebook by people I know. Many of them with college degrees.

I was told several times that Snopes is a liberal/democrat operative and has been proven to be wrong in the past. When requested, I was never provided with cases where Snopes was has been wrong. I was also told that PolitiFact.com was started and run by the Clinton campaign.

These "news" articles got even worse with the Podesta emails. It's easy for the blatantly false alt-right sites like InfoWars to make up stories and then these click-farming sites run those stories with even more sensational headlines. This was the case I saw with the "Spirit cooking" and claims that the Clinton camp was really a pedophile ring (using an email chain referencing kids in a swimming pool as "entertainment" as proof. In context, the emailer was someone speaking of bringing their own 3 kids to the party)

I don't know if these people were tricked, or if they were willfully ignorant because these "news" stories mad them feel justified in their preexisting hatred of all things democrat, liberal, and Clinton.
And pros don't complain about their tools.

Pros, in every industry, complain about their tools more than anyone else.

>See TV as an example

The TV industry, from both the physical panels to production and distribution of content, look drastically different than 10 years ago. I can't tell if you're trying to credit that to Apple or not? But it's hardly stagnant.
I think like with a lot of technology it isn't the novelty, but the scale. Operating a printing press and physically distributing false items is much harder than posting a tweet and letting it go viral.

Well... yes?

Governments are under much stricter restrictions regarding censoring speech than companies, and are generally seen as more important because they can come and put you in prison. I agree that total privacy on the internet has been exceptional for ages, but there's a real difference between Google knowing all about you (and maybe telling the government if they ask) and the government knowing all about everyone and deciding how they want to act on that.

MoltenVK[0] is a way to use the Vulkan API and shaders on Metal.

MoltenVK doesn't currently support Vulkan compute shaders, I don't see why it couldn't in the future—compute shaders are SPIR-V and actually easier to support than graphics shaders IMO. I suspect they just haven't gotten to it yet.

"The article so specifically stated that he was concerned the Germans would dig up the place"

The Nazis would surely dig up his offices, but not Copenhagen.

Moreover, the Nazis didn't even know that those things were there - and they don't really have much value at all to the Nazis. They're a couple of pieces of gold.

The Nazis could do whatever they pleased with whomever they wanted - it's ridiculous to think that a couple of tiny pieces of gold would have changed their view on what to do with an acclaimed scientist. It's laughable.

They'll capture a Scientist and put him to work on whatever they want, or not.

A couple of pieces of gold are totally irrelevant.

If this were a bottle of 'heavy water' or some nuclear material, or piece of gear that they knew existed, knew was in his possession and had some strategic value, then they might spend some time looking for it. Otherwise this is not a story.

I agree with you in general, but the 'Torvalds swears' thing that sparked the GP's comment, it is such a trope. He actually is a nice guy and has spent a lot of time patiently explaining things to people - it's just that those comments don't get plastered across gossipy tech websites.

Furthermore, if you think that bosses of companies are polite, you really need to work at more companies, because there's quite a lot of variance. There's a lot of bosses out there with very rough manners. And hell, in some places it was (still is?) someone standard to take business meetings at strip bars.

Similarly, I once worked support at an agricultural telemetry start-up, and swearing was part of the job. Our clients were mostly farmers, and swearing (if they were swearing) helped put them at ease and let us get on with the job.
The Mystery of Spain’s Perpetual Jobs Problem
I think it's not necessarily true that the elected candidate really is acceptable to most people under RCV. My #2 vote might simply be my "least-bad" choice, not my "second-best" choice. I might be pretty disgruntled if that #2 option is chosen.

Imagine a system where each person gets 100 votes to allot as they wish. Say I give 97 votes to A, 2 to B, and 1 to C, while you give 35 votes to A, 33 to B, and 32 to C.

If we instead had an RCV system, we'd perhaps both express those votes as "A over B over C", even though under the vote-allotment system we were expressing pretty divergent opinions. I clearly find candidate B unacceptable, if barely more tolerable than C, where you appear to find all three of them more or less acceptable.
Thanks!

Edit: Fixed.
>...who would make this progress...

Are you talking about loosing ports? A lot of people think it's not progress but something limiting their options.

> I'm not buying a device whose primary purpose is to stick in my USB cable.

People don't stick cables to laptops just for the sake of sticking it, no? People work with lots of devices with different interfaces. People travel to different offices and need to "stick" a cable of a device which they don't own, don't have a dongle ready and maybe won't see that interface for months or years again. Having all possible dongles for all the devices you come across is impossible for some use cases.

> .. if Apple didn't do this, I think the entire laptop category will just stagnate...

Oh, come on! Will just stagnate because of too many ports?
Agreed, it doesn't matter whether you're in the majority or the minority, everything above the 50% line is ignored. In fact, if there's a third party in play, more than half of the votes are ignored.
I suspect the salary difference will be a LOT more than 15 to 20%. More like 50% at first, and tough to close that gap (he might get on a fast track, but he'd also have gotten raises as a PM).

According to Glassdoor, Product Manager at Google is something like 200K/year (an MBA should be making more), Facebook is similar, and Apple a little less.

A bootcamp graduate shouldn't be making more than 100K/year from what I know of the U.S. (might be wrong).

Maybe his credentials make him hired at a higher salary, but nowhere near his former one.
