We don't have Microsoft stores here in Asia so I really cannot compare.

But I absolutely hate going into Apple or iStudio stores.

They try to upsell and add all sorts of crap. When I bought my 12" Macbook I ended up leaving the store and buying it online.

I just went in to the store today to buy a case for my new iPhone 7 and I wanted a flip case just so i didn't need a screen protector and the guy kept insisting on getting a screen protector. Despite me saying no a dozen times. I ended up taking my stuff and handing it to another staff member at the counter.
Stop changing the subject. The issue that you brought up is whether or not Joe Rogan giving air time to something is endorsing it. Which it isn't. It's having a conversation on a podcast.

And why are you comparing Joe Rogan to a "serious media source"? He's a comedian with a podcast, who can talk to whomever he wants that he deems interesting.

I'll definitely try MacType. Seen your other posts about it. Thanks.
Windows support is really appreciated! I just switched from a MacBook to a Surface Book, and the biggest pain point has been finding a good terminal to replace iTerm2. I'll definitely try this when I get home!

You're off by a factor of ten. Preindustrial was ~280ppm, current is ~400ppm, so we're responsible for about 30% of the CO2 in the air right now.

In the interests of anecdata, I went ketogenic for about 18 months. One of my reasons for doing this that my sister described in glowing terms how eating this way had all sort of positive mental health efforts (more muted emotional responses, mental clarity, lack of anxiety).

I had no effect of that sort. I can only assume that this is one of those 'some people respond well to this, others not so much'.
I've had fine experiences with Java, Javascript, and Python development on windows. I've developed also on Mac and Linux and after maybe a getting used to the the workflow on each system I haven't found the OS to be a major impediment for me outside of some tools and libraries only existing on certain platforms.
Erm... What is it?

I've clicked through several pages and still don't know, aside from the fact that apparently it extends the command line in some way.

But I might just be missing something.

Hoping for telomeres to be the basis for aging is unlikely to yield fruit. There is a nice summary of the basis for aging [1] and I think it lays out a case for aging to be more involved and harder to surmount than that.

Telomeres are widely recognized as related to aging, and there is intensive interest in therapies to try to test the hypothesis that keeping them longer will prolong life or reduce disease. In fact, there are over 100 clinical trials on the topic [2].

Laziness?
Even if we accept the premise that he doesn't deserve any credit for his donations because it is his duty to society, I still find that it is more useful to admire and encourage this behavior from a practical standpoint. At the end of the day, after paying his taxes and nobody can legally lay claim to any of the money and wealth he possesses, he has no obligation to give any of that to anyone else or use it for any purpose whatsoever. So if admiring and applauding billionaires for donating even small portions of their wealth encourages billionaires to do so, that's a cost I'm sure society is willing to bear.

This completely sidesteps the fact that not donating all of his wealth immediately allows him to potentially grow his wealth in other ways while still donating an objectively large number of resources.

I spent the first eighteen years of my life living in a major port city, only a couple of miles from the docks. Everyone, even children, knew the city would be flattened if a war went nuclear.

The difference is the speed at which we can automate new jobs: we've greatly improved and substabtially automated automation.

It's not that automation will eliminate all jobs, just that automation will eliminate most jobs in every field faster than humans can be trained to do them.

The worry is that humans will become the horses of the 21st century -- and we seem on track to be. Understandably, many humans are concerned by this prospect.
yes! CNN and MSN should follow! Totally worthless news outlets indeed.
The idea is plausible, but testable. I am sure they've gone in and sequenced the DNA in this bacteria's genome and found the genes which confer antibiotic resistance, in addition to doing the lab tests showing that it can survive exposure. DNA sequencing is pretty much standard procedure now when looking at previously unknown organisms. Think about it. How would they even know that this organism is something new without comparing its DNA to the other DNA samples microbiologists have collected? If they hadn't done this, it would be a non-story.
Any attempt to prevent wrecks we do now are based on learning from past real world experience. All fleet learning does is automate that process and apply it to self-driving systems so that the learning is systematic and will help everyone using said self learning system instead of having to wait for new advice and/or new safety mechanisms.

Typesafe HTTP implementation? Meh. I go back and forth on stringly typed vs strong typing. Just this weekend I wrote an app in Objective-C instead of Swift, and it's already close enough to 1.0 that I can start using it myself. I originally tried to do it in Swift but the IDE support is just way too lacking and buggy (still!) compared to ObjC. Point being, string-typing and dynamic typing aren't really all that terrible as I keep thinking they are. It gets the job done. Sure, something will always be better. But I've given up at aiming at perfectionism in programming. There's no such thing as The Perfect Language / Paradigm / Type System / etc.(TM). I'm too old and tired to keep chasing that rainbow. Pretty sure the pot of gold's in front of me all along and I keep just not noticing it and tripping over it.

This isn't true. You get Candy Crush. That's the whole problem.
The key insight here is that you cannot drive quality in a project like Wikipedia at the expense of driving contributors away. When people leave, who will watch an maintain the articles? You can try to lock down even harder, but then nobody new will join, and the existing contributors will eventually churn and leave.
I'm also a big time cheater. :)
This blog post is a very cursory overview about East Asian-owned messaging services, with a few easily verifiable sources about their size, but it offers little insight.

It omits talking about markets like Brazil, India, AUSNZ, Europe, CIS and the Cyrillic World, MENA, and South Africa, and leaves out some services that are popular in those regions (Telegram), are platform-native (iMessage), or are popular with certain audiences (Kik, and arguably, Snapchat).

It doesn't even answer its own question, and instead concludes with more hypotheticals.

Suggestions:

[1] mention that many markets are omitted, despite a title that promises an overview "outside the US" -- or write about those markets

[2] better craft its message towards its intended audience, whatever it may be. Offer more insight besides raw numbers and writing that some of these companies sell stickers. Write about what sets these services apart, if anything. Write about growth opportunities, write more about integrations, bots, etc. Write about up-and-coming services or services catering to niche audiences

[3] offer a satisfying conclusion, or don't promise that there would be one
I've always thought that Mendel discovered genetics, but from a practical and experimental side. Darwin's work focused on longer timescales. But I don't know how accurate that summary would be.
That really looks like the lowest-risk option for near-term practical fusion.

Tri Alpha has gotten over $500 million for a more-ambitious but riskier approach, so hopefully ARC has a shot at getting funded.
"encyclopaedias aren't meant for obscure topics"

I'm a bit confused by this reasoning. I can see space considerations in a paper environment, but not on a wiki. Why wouldn't Wikipedia try to be the home of all knowledge?
Anything that goes on the TV or the radio will be seen by millions of people. Just because it's on TV doesn't make it worthy of an article.
> When Keith, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, worked at a technology company that went public, he became rich overnight.

Where overnight is defined as 5+ years building up the value of the company so the equity is worth something.

Reminds me of the Mark Cuban quote:

"It doesn't matter how many times you fail. You only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you that you are an overnight success."

It makes sense because JavaScript has, through several bizarre turns of events, become the language du jour, which means all sort of clueless people are falling over themselves to abuse it in increasingly convoluted ways, so that the clueless people in corporate HR who've been told "We need someone who is a JavaScript rockstar!" can be wowed by the description of some nightmarish contraption that "really takes insane JavaScript chops".

Language fads are very tiring.
The problem isn't total resources, it's effective resource allocation. Even if Americans spent $0 on bottled water next year, it still takes organization and effort to somehow divert all of those small bottled water purchases to a more noble task. That is why arguments about spending $X on one thing instead of another really only work if it is truly one entity spending that $X and could realistically divert it to a different goal.
I tried switching to Hyper from iTerm 2 and found it a bit too sluggish with no real advantages over iTerm (but I haven't tried any extensions)

Which MacBook are you using that you consider "relatively new," but Apple stopped supporting? In my experiences with Apple, support has gone on for years, and in the case of my original iBook, a full decade. It has gotten shorter over the last few years, but Sierra officially supports computers from 2009, which after 7 years I don't consider new any more.

This would partially solve the issues but it would also limit the usage of cars as a service (as in, autonomous taxis vs owning a car). From my point of view car-sharing is one of the main selling points of self-driving cars.

As for the inter-vehicle communication, if it proves to be effective in improving security, I guess it will eventually be mandatory or at least "encouraged" by making your insurance more expensive if you disable them.
Win 10 is pretty stable, but I for one had all kinds of issues when it just installed the Anniversary Update on it's own. I couldn't use my start menu without the computer locking up for about a minute. Spent a few hours researching it, tried multiple fixes which didn't work.
Sorry about your plight, man. How do you cope?
Trying to make all of the Mad Max timelines fit into a single-generation timeline is hard at best.

Think about the kind of timescale needed for those War Boys to exist as an entire subculture, or for the Green Place to be populated and well-known before withering up and disappearing. The only way it makes sense to me is to consider it happening over generations - and yet in the first movie, the collapse of society is still only in progress.
Funny, I just setup my vimwiki + syncthing yesterday night!
Try `ps -afx` in Hyper. Then in iTerm 2. Though I love the ideas behind Hyper, I'm going to stick with iTerm 2 as my daily terminal for now.

> All these scenarios are possible with the addition of a $10-ish/hr driver today.

Which easily multiplies cost by whole numbers if you allow multiple years for the hardware to break even.

The fixed hourly cost for the driver is also why cabs are orbiting for hails (unless regulated not to) instead of waiting cold, further increasing cost per use.

With passive minutes basically free, the economic threshold between passive waiting and active orbiting would be considerably shifted, resulting in additional efficiency gains.
This was exactly my experience. I didn't see any benefit over iTerm 2 and the performance was just sluggish enough to be subconsciously annoying after awhile.
It also sounds like MS has a few issues to work on.
Did they ever solve that "very hard computer science problem" with power management on the Surface Book? I don't think I've ever heard of a more condescending excuse to give to your customers than that.
Thanks a lot for creating vimwiki. I've been using it for years to keep my notes.

Thanks for adding markdown support. :)

Is there a way in which I can show my gratitude? I can donate money or contribute code (if you need help).

In the 'computer is a phone' perspective there is no sudden power loss unless the user yanks the battery out of the back.

I think everybody who isn't highly involved in Wikipedia has always hated the whole "notability" thing. Drives me crazy. If there's something more than a dozen people care about and they're not a family give them the benefit of the doubt.

And I think the author is right on point with the barriers to contribution thing.

My brother, for example, says he created the Wikipedia page for Cheescake (~2004) because he noticed there wasn't one so he started it by creating a sentence that defined what he thought cheesecake was. And he didn't register, sign up or even make a good article. He just saw something he thought was missing and created it with a single sentence.

And now there's an actual "proper" article.

Not sure if he could do that today. I imagine most people find a missing article, discover there are hoops, and don't bother.
> It is quite obvious that you are trying to use a single evolutionary psychology argument without having any knowledge of the field.

No - you're assuming what I mean from text that I never wrote.

> The way it can also work is that a bigger and more aggressive man comes along, kills you, and takes your woman.

Precisely that. That's exactly how evolution works. At some point, we eschewed evolution for "feeling good". I have a problem with that, and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it.

> And these people would listen to you tell them where to go and what to do because ...?

They won't, and I wouldn't tell them to do anything, given that random humans have no reason to obey my forum-written thoughts.

> You have some kind of Puritan mental hangup

I'm not a puritan. Don't lump me in with people that search for meaning and invent a bearded one in a sky/sun/moon/long-dead-arab.

Sedachv, I get the impression you really want to argue with someone about something puritan-related. If you want to get together and rant about everything wrong they have done to our civilization and way of life, you would find I'm quite agreeable to that viewpoint. At the root of it all, I hate that I have to "work" so that other people can "not work". I want the "not work"-ing people to go away. Unfortunately, I can't go off and chase those ideals, because I am still taking care of my own biological imperative's fruit until they can are grown and capable of taking care of themselves. When people stop working early(most of them do not do so because they have become rich, as in the article), we have to take care of them. I don't want to take care of them.
Say you'll accept an offer for 150K, with details on what you hand over (domain name, code, database), with a post-sale support contract retainer of 20 hours a month for 250$/hour for as long as they need you for questions.
Why do I want this?
Let's say your driver exports an API that computes f(x,y,z) where the math turns out such that g(h(x,y),i(y,z)) is an easier and/or numerically better way to compute it.

Let's also say your hardware implements g, h and i, but doesn't wire them together yet. So, your driver's code calls the three functions.

Unknown to you, the trick to use that decomposition is patented. if you release your driver's source code, you make it easier for the patent holder to figure out that you are violating their patent (your programmers might even have made it patently obvious by mentioning the paper describing the trick in a comment)

Unlikely? Maybe, but the way patents are written, who knows? For an almost random example, I searched for "driver code and hardware patents". The first link I clicked was https://www.google.ch/patents/US20090006831. Reading that, I wouldn't know what driver would _not_ infringe on it.

Also, there are many patents on ways to move data around efficiently. Avoiding all of them while still writing a performant driver at not be possible.

It seems vim-notes is much more developed for taking general, self-encompassing notes, similar in style to Evernote. I don't see a way to inter-link the notes like vim's help, but it does have far more rich and powerful note-taking features.

I'd still use vim-wiki because it's intended to be a lightweight knowledge database similar to a mind-map, but more robust. It allows for quick, easy organization of ideas whereas vim-notes appears to be more for a formal writing process.

Am I the only one who would go back to university and take a variety of degrees if they got rich?

It would give you structure and deadlines, but without a 9-5 grind. Give you an active social life. Give as much, or more, of an intellectual challenge as a job. And since you'd be rich, you wouldn't have the same money worries and pressure to achieve that other students have, and unlike a job, the only person you can really let down is yourself.

Yes. It's often the case that a good motherboard will have some super generic driver either for the ethernet component or the on-board audio chip.

USB-C is the industry standard for the connector, it is the future as it's already gaining widespread support across the entire industry. There is zero doubt about it, everyone will be switching to USB-C in the next few years.

The best part about USB-C is Alt Mode support, it allows you to use any protocols you want as long as it is supported on both sides. In this case with Macs, the TB3-enabled USB-C ports mean you can use Thunderbolt 3 without changing the connector port and not lose other protocols like USB 3.1 Get 2 (10Gbps), Power Delivery, etc.

By saying future proof, what they meant is that any future products using USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps), Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) and/or power-delivery up to 80-100W will be supported on these MBPs.
