Maybe what they want the ecosystem to be is not what you're in. It seems to me they're focusing more and more on iOS, and maybe the OS X side of things is just a hurdle from that point of view. They did release new Macbooks, finally, but doesn't it kind of seem like they'd rather their customers just use iPhones and iPads?
Except its a program that can be managed correctly. The problem was that there were no incentives to do so. My understanding is that loans initially were smaller and helped with the cost of tuition at a time where tuition was more affordable, but still out of reach for many working class families. Now they can pay for all of tuition and the cost of tuition is just pegged to the max loan offer from the government.

No one put in sane cost controls. No one told the universities that federal money wouldn't just increase to their whims. No one told students what its really like in real life to payback a 50k or 100k or even 150+k loan for a 4 year degree. What that means as an opportunity cost compared to cheaper schooling. My relatively modest loan is like making car payments on a decent car everything month... for 20 years. So 4 lower-end Lexus's if you consider interest. Or less to put in retirement.

I have no idea how people with large loans get by. I imagine the recent Obama rules regarding loan repayment as percentage of salary helps with an 20 year payment forgiveness plan. Not sure if the new business friendly administration is going to keep that in place.
Good riddance. I've had an AirPort for years, and the thing never worked right. If you're all apple, things are fine, but if a Linux or Android device connects to your network (I use both), you can forget it: The connection will be awful, and it will slow down and drop constantly.

And yes, it actually is the AirPort, as said devices actually work fine on other networks.

I have fond memories of the late 1980s. The ASCII programming language was very popular at the time.
Interesting. I've collected quite a few from friends + colleagues already and only one has such a header.

The best way to encourage innovation is to "stifle" it by producing unusual and complex situations that require creativity to circumvent. Regulation, because it is at least theoretically a codification of the desires of a large population, forces whatever innovation happens into a set of forms that are expected to be in line with the good of the people, while simultaneously making anything achieved more innovative in proportion with how much more intellectual and creative effort was required to achieve it.
I would bet that unless you're a person who willfully hid large capital gains in bitcoin or faked some kind of large tax deductible expenses by purchase of Bitcoin you probably will have anything to worry about. If you are among those two group then you've probably been worrying anyway.
I buy a small amount (about $20 worth) every paycheck, so I'm really not sure how to even report that reasonably. With such a volatile price, I don't really know how much it's gone up or down without some serious calculations. I'm not really sure what to do about that.

I was just about to sell some of it too, to help cover some recent expenses.
It might even be worse than that -- some people will try to engineer lawsuits using auto-cars as marks.
(2) is not completely true because some impoverished communities are more prone to commit crimes than others.

Biologically, (1) is not true. Culturally, it may be true. Impoverished black people idolize and preach a culture that encourages crimes and the precursors that make criminal actions more likely.

> or even noticeable by most people,

I think it is, but on quite a subliminal level. As well as producing music I also DJ, and I notice a marked increase in energy levels of people on a dancefloor when I play tracks that I know are made with analogue synths and drum machines.

Two weeks ago I was playing at a club in London and played Donnato Dozzy - Gol [1], it's so simple as a track, almost nothing to it, but it's a real 303 and 808 that drives the track. I had tons of people asking me what it was, and I could see the room had got more energetic. I even had this conversation about it after the night.

So even for those that don't know exactly why, I think they do feel. I've seen it happen lots of times.

> But I'm buying all analog, and mostly VCO synths

It's still there with DCOs in my opinion. They're cleaner for sure, but they still have that sound. My Juno 106 is one hell of a synth, and that's DCOs, as is my Waldorf Pulse 2 (which for almost no money is a great sounding machine), but then I have the VCOs: Moog Sub 37, Roland TB-303, Roland SH-101, and the incredible DSI OB-6. They're all amazing sound. Especially compared to my digital synths (Nord Lead A1, Roland Super JV 1080). I've stopped using plugins completely now.

My point stands. Coinbase already has bank-level scrutiny, both directly and from its banking partners ("know your customer's customer").

I completely agree that anonymity in finance is at odds with many of the government's methods to enforce taxation, and that this is only the beginning. But Coinbase has been the white knight in this space in the US dealing with the regulations, and I don't think they're naive to push back on this. It might be a losing battle over the next decade, but that doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile cause today.

I'm curious - does anyone know if Dyn uses Oracle databases on the backend? Oracle seems to making a land grab for any *aaS provider that's using their DBs. Presumably because they realize their DB business is quickly being eaten by cloud providers and people sick of their "audits" (read: extortion tactics).
The Diva is good, but doesn't sound like an analogue synth.
We were on UltraDNS for a few years. They started receiving nearly quarterly DDoS attacks and then tried to try to sell us DDoS scrubbing services. From there we moved to Dyn and have been happy. The DDoS that took out Dyn for a while would have take any single provider offline.
I'll nest a few of more here:

* Searching alternative brands to a product, for price, availability or healthier contents.

* Tracking changes in a product.

* Discovering products based on some user input.
I was telling my wife last night about the Migros (a swiss retailer) smartphone application that I've started using recently (allows you to access list of new products, special prices, reduction code, list of recent purchase etc). Crawling the application I found it gave me a list of the most frequently purchased items per category (dairy product, vegetables, fruits, pastry, etc.). I told her how interesting it would be if I could just, from this list, select what I eat and when and I would get a nutrition report out of it.

The application already has nutrition data and list of ingredients for most item so it's hopefully not far from happening ! Problem is I probably won't be given access to it...
Sorry to lump you in, caveat that statement in whatever way makes you feel comfortable. Hopefully we can agree that at least as far as level of discussion goes, much more is made of college costs than of childhood education costs. I found to be a little absurd given the financial numbers involved (every kid goes through primary education, even if college is free it'll never rise to the level of every kid utilizing it, etc.)

> Sure but I don't want to pay for that either

I left a comment in another thread, but the amount of shit that is in the budget leaves every American with a feeling of "I don't want to pay for that". The DoD budget alone clocks in at over 8x the projected cost of free college education, very few people talk with vitriol about the hand-outs we're creating for the myriad of people that make up that apparatus.

> It's artificially inflated to match amount of money a student can expect to beg / borrow

I'm not as well read here as I'd like to be, but I have a hard time understanding how this is going to be such a magic fix. Professors aren't going to be too keen to take a pay cut here, and state universities aren't exactly making out like gangbusters right now. Is the idea that we'd have less students and less professors? What's the economic impact of seeing those jobs, and the dependent jobs in school communities, eliminated?

There is no need for Apple to be in this market,

Of course there is a need. Apple has always been one of the first to use new WiFi standards, the Airports made these transfer speeds non-theoretical. My three year-old Airport still beats my 2016 cable modem royally on 802.11 AC. And this is not one of those cheapo cable modems (basically the latest and greatest Fritz!Box).

A large chunk of Apple users that I know have an Airport or Time Capsule for these and other reasons.

It literally is a scam. They were sued for the ads claiming their CEO never had his identity stolen after advertising his social security number. Turns out it was stolen multiple times. That's why you never see the ads anymore.

I wonder what the decisions look like in the editorial room. Is there some staff member sneaking this in to appear like they're doing work and there's not that much oversight? Do they say we need filler? Something that will get impressions? The Features & Analysis sidebar includes the following compelling titles:

- 100 Women 2016: Big names, astonishing untold stories: Find out who is on the list

- Extremist in the family: He bought his mum a diamond necklace — then fled to join IS

- Clock watching: The global business that starts every day at 9.06am precisely

- Boudoir in the Holy Land: Why Orthodox Jewish women are embracing glamour shoots (replete with shot of the back of a topless woman)

- Parental alienation: 'I was manipulated by my father'

- Tata crisis: How do you sack a boss who won't go?

and three more. I have a hard time distinguishing between the Features and Analysis pieces…

To their credit, none of the articles start with "This", is obviously a listicle, or promises a "weird tip".
Arguing with your customer that what he wants is wrong at the point of sale is, in the short-term, not a revenue-optimizing strategy.

1) Commenting on one's own blog about things one has observed that could be adjusted to improve the market as a whole is perfectly fine and doesn't usually do any short-term damage to one's brand (you can touch a nerve and trigger a boycott, but that's probably unlikely given this topic). Comments on this topic are important, because people who use ad blockers may not realize that their short-term gains are pointing to a world where content creators have to bake the ads into the content itself to get paid. If they don't want that, it's good this signal is in the zeitgeist for them to consider.

2) Sometimes, even deciding a specific customer is too damaging to your ability to serve customers in general and service needs to be refused is the right choice.

To pop out of the analogy and into the world of web transactions: people are very much allowed to run ad blockers. And I'm very much allowed to craft a site to detect ad blockers and begin 400'ing requests or failing to load page content if I can't verify the ads are shown. It's, ultimately, your content to display and my content to vend. It's a two-sided transaction by the very nature of the protocol.
aside from frequent platform changes, and the fact that very little amount of users use Tizen, I believe C# is a much better environment for app development. C# has much better tooling around it (remember how long it took to have a stable android studio, let alone have it in the first place)
Assuming they implement the entirety of the .NET APIs then a developer would have to invest very little to get on their platform. One would hope anyways.
On the other hand, in a context of globilization, nationalism and populism is performing very poorly.

The rich people and most importantly rich companies are basically a class on their own and their look after themselves on global scale. Their profit and their power is distributed. Nationalism however stop at the border allowing larger than country entities to play a social race to the bottom between different countries. Everyday the fraction of wealth that is stuck by borders diminishes meaning regardless how much solidarity you have for your countrymen the pot of national money is getting smaller.

Not that I have a solution and I don't really disagree with you or agree to GP. Just some counter example: Socialism that looked after working class across all of Europe did shape the social fabric of Europe and is arguably better than the US version. Nationalism, as in the case of Brexit or in France, Austria, Belgium, Holland is difficult to see in a positive light. Sure all those movement do the talk about caring for the little man but their policies are all clearly on the dismantling of the welfare state, not strengthening it.
Worse, the level of technical description in sci-fi, even in 'hard' sci-fi, is terribly low. You really can't say a submarine 'powered by the sun' is the same as predicting electric subs and neither do you get credit for such things unless you really delve into the justifications for such a 'prediction' and explain a fair degree on how it would all work. Or that the communicators in star trek have anything to do with smartphones and other low-effort comparisons.

Double worse, ignoring the cherry-picking sci-fi tends to do a very poor job predicting anything. Its almost as if sci-fi is written to be dramatic and follow the rules of storytelling instead of some weird futurist exercise. I doubt Philip K Dick gave two shits about how realistic or futuristic his settings were. He was too focused on the characters and the story.

Consider Asus + tomato[1].

I setup one years ago with the Asus RT-N16 and haven't looked back since. Makes things like QoS a breeze. Yes, it's somewhat of a pain to setup, but once that's done you have a superb, reliable hardware+ software combination that will perform reliably for years. You can dig into more advanced customisations quite easily afterwards if you like, such as VPN client at the router level.

The black/white marijuana arrest gap, in nine charts

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/06/04/the-b...

As you're probably aware, black Americans are arrested for marijuana possession far more frequently than whites. You may also know that there's not much evidence that black people consume marijuana with greater regularity than whites do.

...And this is a uniform phenomenon. It's not that some states treat the races equally and others treat them really unequally. Only in Hawaii are the rates even close to equal, and that's biased by the fact that blacks make up only 1.6 percent of the population. In the state with the second-lowest disparity, Alaska, blacks are 1.6 times more likely to be arrested. In the state with the biggest, Iowa, blacks are 8.34 times more likely to be arrested. D.C. has the second biggest; in the District, blacks are 8.05 times more likely to be arrested.
I don't think human beings can live without group identity. I grew up in a DC suburb full of "open minded" cosmopolitan people. Group identity, along economic, political, and educational lines, was intense. People were vicious in demeaning "the dumb uneducated rednecks that live in flyover country." Group identity was asserted by having the right education, belonging to the right political party, having the right profession and aspirations.

Human beings are fundamentally social creatures. Consider the ritual of meeting someone for the first time. People grill each other trying to figure out what they have in common. "Oh, how do you know $PARTY_HOST?" Oh, are you from Chicago too? How about the Cubs this year, huh?"
We are working on a IBM "catalog" at IBM Research called API Harmony: https://apiharmony-open.mybluemix.net/

One of our goals is to mine information about APIs, rather than relying on user input (hence the "catalog"). We still have a long way to go, though. In Web API land, many things follow a power-law distribution: for a few well-known APIs, a lot of information can be found (https://apiharmony-open.mybluemix.net/apis/instagram). For many other APIs, information is sparse and hard to mine.

Adding Schema.org (or similar) annotations would help. But it may be as hard to convince providers to do this, as it is to convince them to write OpenAPI specifications (or similar).
"That sounds like a very nice world to live in. It also doesn't sound much like our world. It's certainly not how any country on Earth operates."

We've had a system not a million miles different from the one described in Ireland since the 70's/80's. There are grants for school uniforms and books for those that cant afford them, the cost of a college degree is not exorbitant and is again covered by a grant for those that cant afford it (I went to college with several guys who were on the grant) There's always the focus on getting a job, for obvious reasons, but there are plenty of people who go back and re skill with a 2nd degree.

Or alternatively, consider that other people may not have the same priorities as yourself. I say this as someone who cooks and prepares most meals from raw, fresh ingredients: it is time consuming, tiring and often boring. If you're a two parent household with very limited time, and you have to choose between spending that time with your children or spending it cooking - why is the virtuous choice necessarily to cook?

To make tasty, varied, high quality food is not even always as cheap and healthy as one might imagine. Fresh ingredients go bad quickly, and can sometimes be difficult to source, so you have to plan carefully. Many of us live in small apartments with limited space for preparing food and small refrigerators. We work long days, and both adults need to work now. Saving time on planning, buying ingredients, cooking and washing dishes is very appealing.

Why do many people think food should be immune from innovation? We have replaced manual clothes washing with automated washing machines, most people now take their car to a mechanic rather than mending it themselves.

I think there's two possible problems with their strategy

1) ecosystem. the more co-operating products you have, the more likely you are to keep people in your ecosystem. There's been quite a few posts here about people who are/were "all apple". That only works when Apple produce a wide enough range of products. As they shrink, there's a greater risk of more people going to other ecosystems.

2) "all your eggs in one basket". Obviously Apple are focusing on iOS devices and rightly so they're massively profitable. However focusing in one place leaves you at risk if that product line declines and you can't diversify fast enough. Tech. history is littered with examples of this like Blackberry.

Somewhat recently underwent an acquisition by Oracle. A very few meager retention bonuses were given out (on the order of 5% of engineers). An immediate exodus of most of the engineers, including those offered retention bonuses, began.

It seems counterproductive, but the trick was this: Oracle gained ownership of our contracts with other companies. Now, you might say, how the hell are you going to keep our products running if everyone who knows anything about them has left and they're all falling apart?

The answer is: this is upside for Oracle, not downside. They're big enough that they can ream customers by forcing them to pay for overpriced consultants to fix the problems Oracle itself caused.

Everything is packaged so that you're either finding ways to use up ingredients or you end up throwing them away because they've expired. Some foodstuffs come in smaller servings which is a blessing but the costs add up.
