which means either they haven't received anything, in which case why not update the canary. That the orders were very limited in scope and they think they could keep operating safely. Or that they have been ordered not to shut down. Ambiguous tweet is ambiguous, though it's telling that they made it and still did not update the canary.

I'm sorry, but that's simply not true. Millions of iPhone users have been migrating their phones from 4, to 4s, to 5 or 5s up to the iPhone 7. They have all their photos since 2010 stored in there and have inherited all the crap from every single unexpected reboot, failure and app residues, building up gb's of 'other files' as shown in iTunes. Most of iPhone users have a 5Gb iCloud account where not even a whatsapp backup fits, and they still need a computer to migrate all the data. Tell me again how are you going to migrate a 64 or 128 gb of data from one phone to another without using USB. That, and the fact that you're still unable to put music inside an iPhone if you don't a) buy it from the app store or b) using iTunes
I've read that NHK news presenters are also trained to use emotional language/tone in this kind of emergency, so that people would pay a better attention.

There was a significant revision of emergency response in Japan in the past five years.

When the Japan Meteorological Agency issues a tsunami warning, do not disregard it thinking you've got a better handle on the factors in play. The Japanese have their country monitored thoroughly and take disaster preparedness more seriously than anything I've seen in the US.

Pandoc does this. However I've found that you really quickly run into limits. I prefer a slightly-more-elaborate-but-still-no-database solution like Kirby. Throw it onto any budget web hoster with php enabled and you get easy Markdown-based content management, but still separation of content and templates, plugins for a contact form or picture gallery etc.
This.

I can't remember what it was like before I learned a programming language. I do vividly recall my fights with compilers, however, and imagining trying to guess what Applescript wants in a particular context without reasonable notions of what was going on under the hood, and I would have become a plumber instead.

Applescript is horrid. Seriously, every time I try to write something in it, it devolves into Googling for whatever weird, stilted 'natural language' variant is needed in a given context in the best case. The worst case is me wracking my brain for odd ways to write subordinate clauses that might make it happier.

Applescript should be used as the definition of a write-only language. People like to bag on Perl, but even if you hate everything about Perl, it is still a vastly more human language than Applescript.

Luckily for me, I have never needed my emergency fund.
But I'm the same as you, I don't know how people can sleep at night without one. I've been close to the edge at times and it is incredibly stressful.

People seem so comfortable carrying a massive amount of debt.

I'm currently on the best paying job I've ever had, and although the financial planners around would say that I'm holding too much liquid assets (I'm not sure what to invest in), it certainly makes me sleep well at night knowing that I could survive frugally but comfortably for probably 2 or more years without a job.
Ya, good call, that's kind of the irony here, huh?

You can ask this same question about transmissions between ones subjective experience and ones neurons, and the only serious difference between sams answer and modern answers is that sam makes an unwarranted number of assumptions, and as such must be cut away with ockams razor.

If you really want to feel that you're qualitatively better than sam, you have to bite the bullet and go for full dennett-style functionalism, effectively coming out as a p-zombie, which I personally find quite unpalatable. In the other direction lies lots of other equally weird stuff, like modal realism and panpsychism.

Best to just profess absolute ignorance IMO.
It's not very encyclopedic. There are about a dozen questions and data structures that everyone likes to ask. Some places ask harder ones and you have to deep dive into cracking coding the interview. Google is one of them, they have a bigger algorithmic focus.

I'd rather have this vs. the 'where did you go school' bias that finance strongly has.
Hopefully WebAssembly will help to alleviate this somewhat.

Back in the day, JavaScript didn't have so much of a monopoly on, as we called it back then, "DHTML". IE could also do VBscript, and there was a way to do Tcl in various browsers, too. And with Flash, back in the ActionScript 2 days, you could use the vaporware-to-be ECMAscript 4, which was rather different from either ES3 or ES5, and, imo, it was a shame that it was abandoned. Java applets, Silverlight. These things wound up with a poor security record, but I think something like the PPAPI introduced with Chrome helps to mitigate that security risk by A LOT, since plugins are run in their own processes and sandboxed.

While I'm trying to be optimistic about WebAssembly, I can't help but think that a PPAPI/PNaCl-based solution would be ideal, along with a better UX for installing and managing such plugins.
Canadian here from Toronto.

Taxes on the middle class have become absolutely ridiculous. Property taxes rise every year, electricity prices have nearly doubled, and payroll taxes take away a third of your income from every paycheck.

The vast amount of benefits in Canada go to the lower class, and disappear if you move up a tax bracket. The rich simply don't pay the taxes [1].

People here want to be friendly to the environment, but trusting inefficient bureaucrats to handle taxpayer money properly is obviously not a good idea.

Enable ssh in your dockerfile and you are good to go there, see this one as an example:

Regarding headers/libs you would need to manage that yourself, I normally scp them down locally and add to my Intellisense paths.

Do you mind explaining how I contradicted myself? Honestly, Im trying to view this as if Im a parent about my child. If my child went to a loan shark and did something stupid, I would be angry at them. If my child went the official "promised" route to a better life through college for low income or higher lifestyle, I would be proud. If my child never went to college, I eould think there is something wrong with them unless they had an alternative path to success.

What is contradictary?

Yep, and that sure is nice if you are living in a country or region that has fast, cheap data.

I don't buy into enough of the eco system, but do Apple devices sharing an Apple ID to sync over LAN/WLAN instead of hitting icloud?
We had a Ubiquiti wifi router in-office that would constantly refuse to allow certain devices on, or randomly drop devices and not let them back on. Apparently it was a known issue between those routers and Apple laptops so I was told.
As someone who is routinely responded to as if I am "shocking" just for being me: There is little to no real value to be had from shocking people on purpose. It suggests there is no real substance to the argument. I plan to move on. This individual has wasted enough of my time.

Thank you for chiming in.

So over here every pack of cigarettes has a big label saying 'smoking kills' and might show graphic images that 'prove' that smoking can cause lung cancer, blindness etc.

Given that I don't smoke and hate the smell I'm sure that I'm heavily biased, but I still think that this is a good thing. The government isn't restricting access to your drug of choice, it just tries to make it less appealing.

Labeling water with 'Actually, this is useless' feels like a good idea to me. People that jumped the fence, 'true believers', won't be affected. They shake their head, mumble that The System is broken and doesn't support alternative treatments and .. will continue to buy that shit.

But people that are in need of help might actually read that disclaimer and save time & money.

If you cannot buy real medicine for some reason (how barbaric is that, btw?) I don't think that you should buy overpriced water instead.

Its a question. They changed the focus from student debt to homelessness. I want to understand their perspective so I ask it.
This is semi-humorous and semi-serious. If so few users actually use edge then hackers won't bother trying to target it. I suspect that most people use Chrome over Edge, and the use of Edge is very small. Could this be true?

One of my biggests concerns is that Google products are so pervasive.

I have a google device, that uses Google search, that sells me Google ads, while I'm using my Google email, that I read watching a movie in my Google play store, and all the data that I didn't specifically opt out of is backed up on Google cloud (somewhere, it's not in my Google Drive though.). Even my work uses Google Apps for work.

I've been feeling it forward a while now but last week I kind of cracked, when I realized I couldn't do a damn thing without using at least once Google service. They have to be one of the most evil, data hungry, invasive corporations of our time and we just hand over our lives with zero recourse because, “it's in our terms of service.". I know most tech giants have migrated to this business model now but I'm out. I can't do it anymore.

I know that a smart phone with data is basically an employment requirement now but I'm decoupling everything else I can and switching my device to Apple.
Moose are significantly worse in car accidents than deer. But there are fewer of them and they're not in nearly as many regions so the overall numbers are far lower. But there are some places (Alaska, Maine, also Newfoundland in Canada) where they're a serious hazard.

I can understand the sense of "we just spent 8.7 billion dollars on this thing; we'd better not screw it up", but I wonder what the replacement cost would actually be if they had to launch another? Assuming they spent most of the money on R&D, it might actually be relatively cheap. Maybe we could even launch a couple smaller versions just to have backups and do the science tasks that don't require a full 21' mirror.

There's an interesting contrast between NASA's and Elon Musk's idea of what space exploration should be like; the former spends most of its efforts on one-off projects, whereas the latter is focused on making things cheap and repeatable and achieving reliability by iterating on a design rather than getting it perfect the first go-around.

Both approaches are needed, and certainly NASA paves the way for others to come along and do the same thing cheaper once it's been proven.
My grandfather worked for IBM starting in 1979 till the mid 2000's. Towards the finale of his career, he worked from home, so a lot of IBM hardware ended up accumulating in his home office. One day, years after he retired, I was going through the closet and I saw a bit of beautiful beige sticking out from under a pile of other useless keyboards. A 1987 IBM Model M. I nearly had a heart attack. It was in perfect condition and only needed a bit of dusting. It has been my primary keyboard ever since, no modern mechanical has come anywhere close to matching it for me. The noise drives my coworkers absolutely bonkers though.

So what is Apple working on now?

• iPhone 7 looks like iPhone 6 sans the headphone jack. So no design changes for 3 years. To me, 7 does not feel like a significant update over 6.

• Macbook Pro got a touch bar. Otherwise, minor design changes since last revision. Does not feel like a significant update.

• iMac not updated for 12 months. No significant design changes for years, but the screen resolution is now Retina.

• Macbook Air not updated since March 2015 (still low resolution). No significant design changes since introduction.

• Mac Mini not updated since 2014. No design changes since 2011.

• Mac Pro not updated since 2013.

• iOS 10 and macOS are minor revisions.

• Thunderbolt display and now Airport extreme/express are dead

• The iPad Pro 9.7" looks like iPad air (1 or 2). iPad pro 12.9" looks like any existing iPad but bigger. The iPad minis all look alike.

• They didn't release new iPads this fall. Isn't that a first?

It feels like the hardware line-ups are getting more confusing: Two different iPad sizes called Pro as wells as "Air 2" and the minis. It made sense that the Pro was the largest one, but they confused us by releasing a smaller Pro that looks like an Air 2, but has a better display than the large Pro. How many iPads do we need?

There is the main iPhone line (... 6 6S and 7) that comes in two sizes, and then the evil cousin called iPhone SE which looks like a 5.

The laptop line is getting more messy too. The Macbook is like a slower Macbook Air but with higher resolution and 12". They killed the 11" Air, but we now have 3 laptops at 13" (Air + two types of Pro). Is the 13" Pro without touch bar option really necessary?

All these series ("", Air, Pro, SE, Mini) which pop in and out of existence feels like they are trying different names for marketing reasons (especially for the iPads).

I appreciate the yearly impressive but predictable CPU/GPU and software improvements, but it is really starting to feel like they are either struggling a bit, or working on something that takes a lot of resources from non-essentials and focus.

Well, you can always use Riot with a Matrix server in whatever country you like (or run by a company HQ'd in whatever country). And the code is all open, so you can always check for backdoors or build your own copy. For folks worried about the security of the default hosted service for Riot I guess we could set up a canary or something but I really hope we won't get to that :(

(Also, in practice Riot is half UK and half French - although France has its own fair share of crypto confusion).

I don't believe it's all over for Application automation on the Mac. Final Cut Pro X and recent updates to iWork apps have all included system automation hooks. This was one of the concerns with the recent rewrites of their apps, that automation would get deprecated, but in reality that hasn't happened. It's always a worth these days, which is disappointing that it's even a concern, but it's not all over yet.

On the bright side, at least OSX has a single standard application automation system that still has decent support. For all the moaning about Apple closing up their platform, arguably OSX still has a far more capable and better supported application automation story than Linux. That's one advantage of a centrally planned platform that has actually delivered benefits to users.

With regard to the Apple ecosystem, I think it's valid to complain that the cable included with the new iphone does not connect to the new macbook, when they were announced at the same time. Even if it's only supposed to be used in an emergency, does that mean in an emergency you should be punished for staying within the Apple ecosystem?

You said "Except..." And then made several points which are worthwhile discussions but in now way controvert what I said.

I agree that the questions of voter turnout, third party support, and fatigue of the two major parties, the two party system generally, and the established media are all worth discussing. I disagree that nobody wants to discuss these things as there have been many thoughtful articles on major media outlets on these topics (not that there shouldn't be even more, just that it's in accurate to say this isn't a set of questions anyone is discussing).

I also disagree with the notion, which your post seems to imply, that these discussions are mutually exclusive with the issues summarized in my post. Indeed, quite to the contrary, I would imagine these things are all interrelated and reinforce each other. Fake news, especially with negative or scandalous slants, being spread rampantly on social media contributes to further discord and disillusionment with the establishment and reinforces people's distrust of media, either party, and likelihood to either abstain, protest vote, vote for alternative parties, etc.

"Why build one when you can have two at twice the price?"
I did no such thing. That's disingenuous. I merely rebutted your offensive characterization of poor people, not all of whom are homeless. Like many people do, YOU chose to make it about homelessness because you, personally, are incapable of getting past this detail about my life in order to hear anything else I am actually saying.

Your behavior towards me here is akin to calling someone of color by the N word and then pretending they have emotional baggage about their skin color when the only thing they have is a feeling of being offended by offensive behavior -- which gets yet more offensive with every additional remark by you. Because you are making zero effort whatsoever to understand what you are doing wrong here.

Political science is a joke. Scientists who supposedely study this science are nothing more than left ideologues. Consider this. According to the latest 2010 census, 72% of African American kids are born to single mothers. How is it not a failure of political science that in the 21st century the political science cannot deliver results, via appropriate legislations, that will actually be beneficial to black minority? By the same reasoning, it's a failure of representation by Democrats, who represent blacks through and through.
