Other than the multiple statements in Bloomberg today from anonymous sources, there's:

- changing the name from "Apple Computer" to "Apple Inc"

- Tim Cook talking up the iPad as a replacement for a PC

- a lack of new OS features in macOS that didn't begin in iOS

- discontinuing Xserve

- discontinuing half a dozen Mac pro apps

- discontinuing cinema displays

- discontinuing 17" MacBook Pro

- letting go of Sal Soghoian, their scripting/automation guy

- not refreshing Mac Pro in three years

- not refreshing most other Macs in years

Put it all together, and it doesn't seem like a company that has enthusiasm for desktop computing.
It actually reads like a solid fiction book, except that it isn't. You can skip a few dozen "romance" pages here and there and then it's really worth your while.
Most of what I'm saying is coming from a lecture by Prof. Howarth at Cornell this past Fall.

His full slides are linked at [1]. His second lecture in the series [2] suggests upstream emissions
from a well are about 1.3%. That's not enough to justify significant investment in capture for production increases, but it's enough to do enormous damage to the environment. The first set of slides explains that damage reasonably well, but the TL;DR is that Methane screws us far more in the short term, and all the timelines that matter at this point are short term.

I don't have any information on biofuel production. I think it's an open question whether it's useful for grid-scale energy production -- again, gas turbines are wonderful base load generators -- but I'd be extremely hesitant to support it's use in transportation.

Oversea shipping is a challenging problem that may be served well by gas as a stop-gap, but long term it should move to compact nuclear reactors which use non-weaponizable fuel elements or new energy dense storage methods like lithium air batteries.

For ground transportation, it's really hard to justify anything other than direct electric vehicles at this point. The energy density of natural gas isn't that great relative to current Li-Ion packs when you consider tank weight, and any pure ICE vehicle has to deal with large braking losses, which EVs can recover trivially. The various flavors of hybrids are a decent solution, but I'm a huge proponent of the pure EV model with parked EVs doubling as a grid-scale storage solution.

Or, the IRS could butt out, and stop shaking down businesses that manage to turn a profit without one bit of government assistance.

Would that be so bad? I mean, obviously we'd have to find some other way to fund our wars, state surveillance, and other "think of the children" endeavors - but at least "tax lawyers" would finally be out of a job; the final solution.

Absolutely true, but it wouldn't prevent some people from making a bad decision anyways.

I'll also note that many student's credit ratings are garbage anyways, or they have no credit history to speak of. So the immediate consequences may be limited, and many people don't fully think through future impacts. These kinds of people also tend to be the kind of people who take on a lot of debt for a non-marketable degree.

I'm working on a SaaS offering where I might need to be able to email sensitive information to customers. Or even just make it available for download. In either case, I'd like the data to be encrypted. So I'm planning to ask users to upload a PGP/GPG compatible public key so that we can encrypt this stuff for them. I'm focused on GnuPG specifically just because it's freely available, well known, available on all the important platforms, etc.
This is great. I mean, the fact that NeXT tech was preserved and made popular is great.

I'm a practicing hospitalist and I love it. I spend time on the hospital floor, time in the ED, and time covering patients in the ICU. Yeah, some days suck (I occasionally have to stay from 7 AM to past midnight, though that is quite rare), but overall I can't imagine doing anything else.

Also, I work 7 days in a row and then have 7 days off, which I absolutely love. I have the option of working 5-days every week and having weekends off, but I prefer my current schedule.

I think I'm pretty well-paid, but are there better/easier ways to make money? Yes, of course. My college roommate probably makes more than me and my understanding is that he just sits in meetings and adjusts Excel spreadsheets all day managing someone else's money. But hey, whatever. I could work at night instead of the day, it would be easier (no discharges), and I would make over 430k. But I don't want to do that. Instead, I work with a residency program and get to teach, which is very rewarding.

I think overall it's just a matter of perspective and expectations.
A meat thermometer is great for quantitatively confirming that your food has achieved a germ-killing temperature.

Other than that, be paranoid about raw meat and its juices. Use disinfecting spray and paper towels to clean up any drips or spills. Don't set meat wrappers on the counter - send them straight into the trash. Immediately wash any utensils or plates that touched the meat, then wash your hands.

Wash your veggies; wash them well. Be sure to get leftovers into the fridge as soon as they're reasonably cool. To be on the safe side, throw away leftovers that have been out for more than 2 hours.

TFA aside, centralized logging is super useful for debugging a variety of issues. There are a number of hosted options, and setting them up isn't too hard. It usually involves configuring you're application's log device to talk to the remote service, or configuring syslog on your app servers to forward logs to said service.

Hey this is Michael, one of the co-creators of Razorframe. We're currently hosting a redis server for devs to use during the prototyping phase.

Great catch and thanks for reviewing our code!
If by "symmetric block encryption" you mean "use the block permutation of the cipher directly", then nobody ever does that; the people who make the mistake of using the cipher's "Encrypt" and "Decrypt" are the ones who end up discovering that the default mode of a cipher is ECB.

> This freeway project costs $22 million per mile.

And look how much was achieved for that money. Apparently not much. Whatever capacity gains appeared were immediately gobbled up. And what next? Scaling further will be harder and more expensive.

It's not enough to compare highway costs and transit costs independent of everything. We need to consider the long term implications of the design choices that are being made.

This point additionally references your comments about how transportation works with the existing infrastructure. We can keep doubling down on the way things have been done for the last 50 years, but I think cities need to take a step back, be more reflective about what they're doing, and work toward undoing some of the effects of bad decisions made decades earlier.
>I genuinely do not get Uber's strategy here

Simple: distract investors long enough to somehow make ride sharing profitable.
Evidently they can. I witnessed it myself, even did a cold start (hold power and home until you see the Apple logo) and it still happened on a completely up to date iPhone 6.
There is tons of evidence that time studying has plummeted, especially in the liberal arts, while leisure time has increased dramatically.[1][2] Please note that these behavioural changes have taken place while subsidies to education have increased.

It should however help eradicate industrial scale trolling by dedicated actors.
I think there actually might be a market here for Reddit...

Create a subreddit for a news site, and each new article on the news site automatically gets a new post on the subreddit. Embed the relevant post on the news site.

Since "karma" is transitive across Reddit and across news sites, users are slightly less likely to troll. You could also do this with some sort of reputation system across websites (Disqus could add in something like that).

The big problem with news sites is that the communities aren't big enough that there are any negative correlations associated with being a dick. Even facebook runs into this problem because there isn't any way to "punish" someone for a rude comment. Transitive, persistent reputation is key to solving this issue (at least in my very non-expert opinion). Reddit helps, with comment karma and post karma... but it obviously isn't perfect.
ethernet has as much to do with TCP/IP and DNS as does radio waves with FM radio.

ethernet is a wire protocol upon which a TCP/IP stack runs on top of. if USB looked a lot more like ethernet, it would be far easier to write drivers for devices.
Since I wrote that article, I'm pretty confident that it doesn't recommend ever using /dev/random.
There's nothing wrong with the CISSP for what it is, a wide gamut glance into InfoSec, but a lot of hiring managers have been led to believe it holds high technical merit. A few years ago I took a job with my then shiny new CISSP and I was uncomfortably flattered a bit at how much awe it held with people who had no idea what it even was. They assumed I was a master hacker when neither my work nor my resume suggested any such thing.

> It's the game that can't be won.

Only as long as countries and politicians don't really try you are right. Giving up on trying to make corporations pay taxes they should pay because "you can't win" seems like a very weak way to handle this.

Corporations will immediately start discussing income tax or VAT and invent avoidance schemes on that, playing countries against each other, and that game also can't be won. There's no end.

The big economic regions like EU and US should completely stop accepting all these transfer pricing and IP deals, and tax these multinational companies on something that is based on the profit that they report to their shareholders, divided by the approximate regional share of the company's total market.
Well Ceres only has a diameter of 589mi (a little over 1/4 the size of our moon). It might be a good launchpad for refueling though, given the near in-significant gravity and apparently plentiful water.
"I’d argue that this is probably the single most important tech acquisition of all time."

However, it was not Apple's first choice. They first attempted to acquire Be Inc. (BeOS) but Jean-Louis Gassée held out for $275 million and lost the deal in a surprise move when Apple, instead, bought NeXT.
I don't see how 1. applies. People using this plugin are not securing any gain and no one is being deprived of any right -- unless you use it on a website that first makes you explicitly accept to be tracked and served ads in exchange for the content.
I'm in the exact same boat. I work remotely and even though I've had a few job offers, one last night actually, I feel it's more important to have my flexibility here so I can see my wife when she's home. I find it especially helpful when she's on night shifts when her at-home time is <8 hours; I can move my day around hers to make meals and help wake her with coffee.
1) It seems pretty bad in France too, judging from the few friends I have in medicine.

You are right, I did over-simplify quite a bit. But the basic principle holds -- I've long felt that limited companies should be taxed higher than wages, precisely because there is risk taken out and accepted by society, so society should benefit (I realize that's overly short / simplistic)
Well, I am, here and in my offline life. I like taxes, with them I buy civilization.

I'd happily spring for a slightly more up-market model of civilization, too, so I'm one of those pretty-well-off tech guys who advocates for higher taxes on me and people like me.
> And if the state loses in court it can even change the law and fight again - no private entity has that power.

Sadly, not at all – Uber will just sue in some court of some trade deal, and find a way to get around that. Just like so many companies have done before.
What if you added a downvote multiplier, so if you get 5 downvotes it becomes $.50? With a max neg of score of -10. And same for downvoter. And you get meta mods who watch these mods to try to keep things from wratcheting in a runaway manner.
There's no reason to pull bytes out of /dev/random. In the rare circumstance that you're worried about it being early in the first boot and getrandom doesn't exist, you might throw away a single byte from /dev/random to make sure it's ready. But then you're done, and use urandom. And your program almost certainly doesn't need to worry about that circumstance.
Wouldn't such a policy disincentivize transactions, at least to a degree? I thought the whole reason for the federal reserve bank's monkeying with interest rates was to keep money in motion and being used, instead of just sitting piled idle in various accounts, because the former is better. In my mind money in motion necessarily implies lots and lots of transactions. Taxing transactions seems like it would make people want to keep money in their accounts instead of using it.
Even granting your argument, if the government takes $x as a service charge for infrastructure, and subsidises by $y, that would be a net subsidy of $y, not $y+$x.

But $x is not a service charge. It bares no relation to the amount of anything used. They can't opt out of the road part of the service charge and build their own roads. The tax is not hypothecated. Whatever the rhetoric of politicians, it doesn't bare any resemblance to a service charge.

Good luck with 40Gb/s speeds or pushing 100W on ethernet. (Sure you could use HDBaseT for 100W but we're talking about getting rid of adapters right?) It's definitely not just for political reasons, that's disingenuous at best.
First Round Holiday Video 2016
Its a fair question. If I were to speculate I would say they were buying habits. Specifically transportation habits. The closest analogy in my own experience is telephone directories. For all of my early life experience there where printed and bound telephone directories which you consulted when you needed to find the telephone number of someone you wished to talk to. There was a very profitable business in selling ads in the commercially oriented pages.

Google search changed that, over time it became easier to find a phone number online than it was in the books. Then with the smart phone it combined both the phone and the number database (search engine) into a single device and now very few people use phone books.

But that habit changed slowly, over a decade at least to go from early adopters to the majority of people out there using their phone (or the web) to look up numbers. So the habit for calling a cab is changing slowly. From regulated livery service to less regulated ride share service. During that transition Uber is apparently "spending" billions[1] to connect in peoples brains 'Uber' and 'rideshare' so that as ride sharing becomes the expected norm, people will think of it as Uber not "any number of ride share companies."

[1] It is an odd definition of spend, they are perhaps purposely under pricing their service (so subsidizing) in order to encourage use.
>>1) if a company does local business, they should pay local tax, and, 2) by making sure the company has physical presence instead of being a P.O. box. Ie. by flagging those companies who claim they are in the middle of the Caribbean Sea while they're clearly not as tax evaders who ought to be prosecuted 3) use whitelists on companies who are honest

This is delusional to be honest. There are many shades of gray when it comes to tax avoidance. Other than straight up fraud there are costs which really are needed but might be a bit overblown. Are you really going to use resources to prove this piece of software bought in Bermuda is worth 4M and not 5M? It's a fundamental problem with income tax which can't be fixed unless you have access to an oracle which just spits a real value for everything.

>>4) the construction with fake companies who the companies deal with should also be pretty easy to catch with some ML/AI :)

It doesn't need to be fake at all. You just overpay for software/advice/tours/coaching/brands here and there. It's fluid, there is no chance tax authorities catch all of those or prove they were in fact overpriced. It becomes tax on honesty/ethics again as people not willing to play the game will pay more.

>>Would give corporations a free ride at the expense of consumers.

No it wouldn't. Consumption taxes as well as corporate income taxes are 100% financed by what consumers pay.

>>It'd stimulate consumers to start fake corporations just to avoid tax.

It's way more difficult to avoid VAT than income tax. Avoiding VAT on any significant scale requires forgery while avoiding corporate income tax is as easy as overpaying a bit here and there and maybe getting "unlucky" with some risky purchases.

>>Finally, it'd lower the value of the money the consumer has as it is.

No it wouldn't. It doesn't matter if you tax a consumer or corporation the money comes from consumers anyway. It seems you are not very familiar with how consumption taxes work and how they the tax burden under them looks comparing to corporate income taxes. I don't want to suggest sources but as this is widely discussed issue by economists on all sides it's easy to google for it. There are issues mainly concerned with consumption taxes not being progressive (or regressive if you take immediate look) but "giving corporations free ride" isn't one of them.

10 Business Model Prototypes to Benchmark in 2017
I generally don't consider anything that has an ultrabook processor for a work related laptop, which is also why the XPS 13 isn't on my radar.

I generally look for a quad core i7/HQ and a discrete GPU. I guess I could probably live without the discrete GPU, but if I'm going to buy a good laptop, I may as well spend a little extra to get it.

Battery life isn't a big consideration for me - I'm plugged in most of the time and I consider any battery life >3h to be gravy.
