They have invested in future product categories, the Apple Watch being the most recent - and not very successful - example.

I'm afraid what Apple is doing is purely looking at figures - if it doesn't sell at least X or account for Y% of revenue, it's discarded. AirPort, gone, displays, gone, 17 inch MBP, long gone.

And yet their R&D budget is still going up (http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/05/Apple-RD-Spendi...), estimated to become $12 billion in 2017. IDK where it all goes though.
It is all great if you do not have existing hardware you want to use.

I have a Logitech mouse I love, it has a USB connector receiver that sticks 3 mm out of my laptop so I keep it plugged in all the time. The idea of it hanging of some cable adapter is just silly, not even mentioning the fact that you have to buy it.

Or my fancy 27" Apple Thunderbolt display. I had no issue paying the Apple tax because I loved the display and it doubles as a docking station (integrated power adapter). Guess what, it doesn't work with the new laptop. The new display they are selling is made by LG and was not available for purchase until few weeks ago.
I have no idea what these self-annoited "professionals" do, but it's actually quite difficult to get the MacBook Pro to its limits. Doing webdev or using Xcode it's hard to ever notice any delay.

But maybe I'm just a noob who isn't professional enough to suddenly discover that life just isn't worth it without 32GB of RAM.

Not only are they more expensive, sometimes you pay about the same for the train as the entire flight. It costs me 40 EUR to go by train to a cheap airport. That airport has flights around that price! As a result, I do not usually fly from there (the 40 EUR plus additional time involved).

I always take into account the cost of going to the airport; the far away cheap airport often loses out (as saving e.g. 10 EUR isn't worth the hassle).

Going anywhere further than just the airport by train is expensive. I try to take the bus until 2.5 hour trips. After that I try to avoid unless you can fly. Pretty ridiculous!
I'd be curious to hear what you consider to be an alternative workflow or tool.

Any tool can be used incorrectly in bad hands. The problem of choosing to work with talented and competent designers is largely unrelated from the choice of tool.
Thanks!

I think he means you determine if "the market is at a low point" by comparing to the recent past. For instance, today, I can tell the market is at a high point. It might be a good time to rebalance from stocks to bonds today if that's something I'm looking to do.

That the market will rise again has held in the past in the U.S., so it's not so unreasonable to suspect it will in the future.
Followup: I suspected that this problem should have been studied in the academic literature. Indeed it is, and this seems to be a good starting point to read about it, if anyone is interested:

Top 50 Products by Total Number of “Distinct” Vulnerabilities in 2016
My anecdotal experience - not so much about the language itself but the ecosystem:

I was making a short evaluation of platforms for light 2d game/graphic development/prototyping. This being in the context of a fun project with very limited time - having kids and a C++/embedded day job and no intent to analyze core dumps in my spare time.

Haxe was on that list (together with e.g. lua/LÖVE and phaser.io/typescript) and I had high hopes for it. The number of target platforms would make it very attractive to transition from prototype to "publishable" game.

But what turned me down was the documentation and confusing state of competing libraries and target platforms.

E.g samples of a recommended tutorial were not working due to library changes (in very basic initialization functions). I found a solution but there was just too much friction .

So in the end, haxe lost in my evaluation because ... too much choice? I really wanted to have a predefined simple platform and just focus on gameplay.

If somebody has a recommendation for a haxe "starter kit" (compile target, libraries, docs, debugger/IDE/vim plugins ...) that allows to publish to all of desktop / html5 / mobile app then I'd be happy to hear about it. Maybe the next project...

The TSA does not have to be anywhere near as bad as it is right now. We could have similar levels of security without millimeter wave scanners or pat downs, and without removing shoes, belts, etc.

The reinforcement of cockpit doors and additional sky marshals are what keep that incident list short today.
I'm wondering if Apple decided to charge the $100 to have a "curated" set of extensions. There are thousand of extensions available for Firefox and Chrome, and most of them are junk.

Maybe the thought that Apple had was that charging the $100 would leave them with a smaller set of extensions, with higher quality. I'm not really sure it's working, sure there's fewer extensions, but still a large number of weird ones.
Which itself is a result of the fact that people will not buy a product designed by people not competent enough to make it work, but they will happily read complete nonsense, and thus there's no incentive to pay what it takes to hire competent tech journalists.

If you hard-code group selection (setting the group as the unit of evolution), then you are already assuming what you want to prove.
Serious question: How can software arrive onto critical infrastructure?

For example, if it's possible to update the software on the infrastructure, there's going to be a delivery mechanism, right? One could imagine that coming from some process that is further up the chain until, eventually, you arrive at infrastructure that would be attached to the laptop.

For example, what if some build server got compromised (assuming that was the state of the art)? Some software backups, along with some phishing/false alarm to trigger a rollback?

Having rules like what you're saying is extremely helpful, but I imagine it's very likely for there to be a path between many devices to the infrastructure, even if its several jumps away. The chain of trust is probably very long.
>It's a toy implementation used as an example, if you get hung up on the example, you miss the whole point.

When to use such techniques, and whether they make sense in the real world, performance wise, should have been part of the "whole point" all along.
Then it would never work, ABNB works because it has these margins to play with - the cost differential between running a business and just subletting a residential property.

You don't have to pay the premium that comes with regulation, you pay lower taxes (if at all), you don't have to have special insurance, trained staff, meet stricter public safety regulation etc.

This is why ABNB works if the property owners on ABNB had to meet the same standards as a hotel or anything close to that they would be considerably more expensive than hotels because they don't do that at scale while most hotels do.

The closest thing right now is Cornell's Legal Information Institute--https://www.law.cornell.edu. There is also the same problem with academic journals--Lexis Nexis has asearchable database with cases for a pretty penny. Also, pacer.gov enables users to access cases and dockets but the structure and "per page" cost make it difficult to be a useful search engine.

I've argued a couple cases in district court (and one case is on the docket of the Supreme Court) and I've used a mix of law school textbooks, Scotusblog.com, Cornell's Legal Information Institute and lawyer's blogs to start background research.

> PyPy is Python implemented largely in Python

It's actually a superset of a subset of Python and it's called RPython: http://rpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rpython.html

> it supposedly is faster than python's C implementation

Only if its JIT compiler gets a chance to trace and compile some code which is then executed often enough to make up for the overhead.
No, it's per Apple developer account which will be publishing the extension. So RES only needs one.

If the person who publishes RES also publishes others, that person still only needs one.

I think the thread has gotten way off topic. The article is about kindness, not altruism. Kindness is, in my experience, doing something that makes someone else feel good, regardless of how it makes you feel. You do something, in kind, as it reciprocates the emotive intent to be helpful. You don't do something, in kind, as it creates a lack (for either party) as a result of that act. Self sacrifice and kindness are completely unrelated. Self sacrifice should not, and must not, be a deciding factor in what determines kindness as it confuses the moral agent motivating the act.
As a customer, I wouldn't buy such a device from a new entrant out of fear of the dreaded "Our amazing journey" blog post when the start up is inevitably shuttered or acquired. The existing players are likely to still exist for the 4+ year device lifetime, which is handy for security updates, warranty and service and replacement purposes.
So apparently I have to subscribe first in order to read the article... NO, thank you.

Depends on the business constraints. Wrong is not just "returns invalid results".

There's also the notion of wrong or right solution for a particular problem (which the phrase above already assumes). E.g. for a game where things have to run in 60hz, a slow algorithm would be the wrong solution to use.

The reverse is also true: a solution can return wrong results in the absolute sense (e.g. false positives) and still be correct for our business case. This is the case with things like Bloom filters for example.
Swift is a nice language and I applaud all the hard work that people at Apple have put into it. In almost every other respect developing for Apple platforms feels like a marriage to an abusive and indifferent partner. Coding for Android or the web can be frustrating too, of course, but a lot of the complexity there is inevitable given the decentralized nature of those platforms.

Apple controls the entire software and hardware stack so their crappy dev experience is a consequence of either incompetence or arrogance.

Paying for news is arguably one of the ways to improve news quality, and quality news is valued by many HN users. The submission includes the source. If you don't want to visit a paywalled source, HN already provides you with the information you need to make that decision.

Here's a comment from 'dang (one of the HN mods) on this topic from about a month ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13057425):

Paywalled articles are different. That's a settled matter on HN. The rule is that paywalled articles are ok when there's a workaround:

While I agree with your general sentiment, here is an anectode that might be considered as evolutionary "softening".

Assyrian empire was extremely brutal to people it conquered, Persians who took its place was more "humane" to their conquered subjects as a policy. Resulting in a relatively more stable land and subjects were submitting "willingly". From that point on, it was their main selling point.
Scott Forstall combined Steve Jobs's sensibilities and obsessive attention to detail with a deep, working background in software engineering. He championed UI usability and responsiveness, spearheaded accessibility initiatives out of care rather than for PR, and led the OS X, iOS, and Safari teams through arguably their best and most reliable years.

Scott Forstall is why the iPhone was the iPhone. Tony Fadell was almost why the iPhone was an iPod.
>They quoted it - which means they obviously don't know what they are talking about

They might know or not know what they are talking about -- an they probably not. But that has nothing to do with whether they quoted the "traveling salesman problem".
But in this arrangement there is no reason for an individual need more points. You inserted your own assumption that "more imaginary points is better for itself" to define altruism.

Maybe an additional rule where the 20% with less points of the population of the groups with more points also dies. So there is actually an incentive for the individual that keep the points.

I know that AOSP isn't the same Android running in Nexus. However I have an Android tablet that I used to run AOSP (nowadays is running CyanogenMod, probably needs to change it to LineageOS). The core experience is exactly the same once you install GApps (at least the minimum necessary to run Play Store).

And no, I really don't need anything that CM brings (I only switched from AOSP to CM because it was better supported on my tablet, CM actually had a developer while the AOSP guy was simply pulling the changes from the CM developer).
Banking is less than 5% of Switzerland's GDP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banking_in_Switzerland).

Chocolate, cheese and mountains is just there to entertain tourists but even if you would kill tourism and banking, Switzerland still would be superstrong due to the megacorps (e.g., Glencore is located here and trades with 80% of all coal in the world) who decided to pay taxes in Switzerland.

Some things are not fun. Being in a room filled largely with strangers is Not Fun, if they're all drinking it's Double Plus Not Fun.

There is a chance that doing a not fun thing will result in longer term gains of fun via meeting people, but strangely when I'm miserable and uncomfortable it's unlikely I'll make friends and influence people. So I'll weight that with an appropriately small number and find that my overall happiness is higher by avoiding the above scenario.

I could of course start drinking to take the edge off but that doesn't seem like a great idea overall. I'll stick in my comfort zone for now, where it's comfy. And there's tea.
Do you have any indication that Bezos is exercising editorial control?

According to a Poynter interview [1], Marty Baron, editor at the Washington Post, says "Bezos doesn't try to influence editors".

The Washington Post doesn't seem to avoid putting Amazon into a negative daylight either. E.g. the article [2] mentioning Amazon using cobalt from dubious sources.

Pushing the narrative that traditional newspapers like the Washington Post are propaganda tools without supporting evidence, looks suspiciously like propaganda in itself.

My experience of supermarket premium products is that they are barely acceptable approximations of a quality version of the product.

Take cheese, for example - it's much easier to taste the difference with cheese. I've never had a UK supermarket Comte comparable to a Comte from a cheesemonger, no matter how premium it was advertised.

Or pastries. The only widely distributed supermarket in the UK with what I would consider edible pastries is Waitrose, and not all branches have a decent range. But bakeries in the UK have their own mass-market pathologies.

What really brought the insight home to me was my experience eating in Morocco. There, bread was baked by street vendors - it was always fresh and warm. You have to get lucky with timing to get the same experience in the UK, even if you go to bakeries. I realised we've lost certain qualities of life with our economic setup, and the more I found out about good food, the more I realised that supermarkets and commoditization had created a mechanism that forced me to work much harder to get good food.

Anyway, this isn't directly related to airline seats, but I do think the ratchet effect is real and it shows up in a lot of places.
>Is it that difficult to get a H1B visa in Switzerland?

If you don't have an EU passport, yes. There are regional quotas, so if you want to live somewhere with lots of tech (read: non-EU people) getting in under the quotas is really hard.
>It used to be worse is not really a good argument. If you use this reasoning the current state is good. Without being able to question the current state, improvements will be limited or none.

The other side of this is that without seeing things in perspective we might not appreciate the huge improvements that went into it.

And we might even lament for "first world problems" making mountains out of molehills, or take everything for granted...
I agree, it's slower for me too, on a recent MBP. I think the main improvement they're targeting is lower data usage rather than performance improvements but I'm still surprised at how much worse it performs. Seems like a bug to me, hopefully it will be fixed.
This is why you want capability-based security. If there's loads of speakers which are freely used by applications (lacking capability-based security), you can just use capability-based security on the microphones. That'd only work if you can control the devices though; so only on your own home.

On Android you can check which applications want access to microphone since 5.0 or 5.1 and the capability-based design during runtime works since 6.0. On macOS, it also works, and there's Micro Snitch which notifies the user when the microphone is active. Its from the same makers as Little Snitch. Its pretty basic; e.g. if you use Siri the log won't really tell much about which applications did use it.
I use "we" in similar contexts too. We invented our scientific methods. We learned about our anatomy, caused the extinction of many species, etc.
What's the basis that officials have a "blame Russia" policy? Why does this seem to be official policy only since this year?

It's not like anti-Russian saber rattling was a thing even 12 months ago, despite the Ukraine situation.

The DNC hacks are a thing that happened, and a lot of people outside the government seem to agree that evidence points to it happening from Russia, by actors who seem to have worked with the Russian government.

If you accept the DNC hack analysis, it's not absurd to imagine that closer scrutiny reveals more infrastructure that Russian state actors have penetrated. Especially given that we know infrastructure is more vulnerable that we might like.

Considering that Republicans are not peddling the anti-Russia line, what's the angle here? in the last 6 months of an 8 year term, Obama decides to activate the anti-Russian propaganda machine? Only for it to be dismantled in 2 weeks anyways with the new administration? What sequence of events causes that?
