Reading some other comments, I think the suggestion is that the overrating was fraudulent. In which case the price is a relevant factor. Mayer was worth some amount of money, a mild overestimate would be human error, but a massive overestimate would be evidence towards a fraud claim (in the sense that the error would demand explanation as unintentional). I don't endorse that on a Mayer-specific level, but I think it's the shape of the argument.

None of which disagrees with you, it's just an interesting note for assessing what a hypothetical fraudulent CEO appointment would look like. Presumably it would factor in price in the sense of "could a reasonable person assess the CEO's worth at this value?"

That assumes that F as a reply works for all of BCD (and E which seems to have vanished in the second diagram.)

What if B, C, D all express slightly different opinions? Or F isn't a valid reply to E but you could treat it as a reply to E because of the positioning (since that's what defines it as a reply to B, C, D.)

Threading has problems but it definitely avoids mistaken replies and confusion.

> Better voting systems don't establish themselves, you have to bootstrap, and that's using the FPTP process to vote in folks who institute change and get us to IRV or Condorcet.

No, it's bypassing offices elected by FPTP by using the citizen initiative process in the states, and proving reforms there. (And the representation problem is fundamental to single-member districts, so IRV and Condorcet aren't solutions.)

This one's already a '15 refurb. We'll see. Shittiest thing is that I don't have an Apple store in my university town or hometown, only APRs, and I can't miss my Macbook for too long (I do AI, so yeah..), so if they want to send it out for repairs for a long time, I'm fucked.

On another note: what I actually meant with my comment is that I'm kind of amazed Apple still has parts for a 2yr (and presumably 3yr according to OP) old laptop, since they usually push their old stock out pretty aggressively. They either must have giant warehouses full or still have the factories churning out old parts??

I'm trying to imagine Jobs taking a 'free' turnaround role somewhere other than Apple. That was a labor of love, but it's pretty hard to import talent on those grounds - particularly if no one has significant affection for your brand.

Part of the power of startups (and Apple) is that they get some economically-irrational commitments from people who care deeply about them, and it's pretty unfair to expect that for other organizations.

>A oft-used retort is developers are not a priority demographic anymore

Apple would be foolish to believe this. A lot of the MBP's "sex appeal" is the fact that it is so widely used among developers and creatives. Similar to professional athletes all using one brand of tennis shoe. The effect is that the masses will see it as the top quality product and want to buy it. If everyone shows up at conferences next year with Thinkpads (although I wouldn't count on it) they might start noticing.

As someone who lives in a ~200 year old house, I pretty much agree with all that. I've spent quite a bit on renovations and the house is still "quirky." (e.g. just has one smallish, though just redone, bathroom) On the other hand, the location and property are great and it was quite inexpensive, especially by today's standards.

Yes, some of the renovations were due to age and/or lack of maintenance over time. But there's no shortage of horror stories associated with problems in recently-constructed houses as well.
It's unfortunate how defensive people get whenever the term "privilege" comes up. The author is merely acknowledging the beneficial circumstances of his birth and lack of obstacles to his success, but somehow people manage to read this and think it implies they should feel guilty for their relatively easy lives.

I admit it. I am privileged. I thank the Cosmos everyday for the incredibly wonderful life I live and my biggest fear is of losing it. I support social services that try to raise those people up out of poverty, homelessness, or institutional racism. I don't do that out of guilt, but for a genuine concern for the well-being of my fellow human beings who I rely upon every single day for my own well-being. That fast-food work who serves me meals is working much harder for less income than I am, and I appreciate and respect that.
I think Mathematica/IPython aka. Juypter notebooks are great in this respect. I used them for my BSc and MSc. However, they aren't complex programs, and portability is an issue.

This question is a bit vague. These days the short answer is: don't.

To do it economically you need some advantage, usually through cheap access to electricity. So if you live near cheap geothermal or solar energy it could pay off. Even then you need specialized hardware.
So, to some extent, that was a PEBKAC issue, no? ;)

Searching this stuff is like I'm looking for aliens - lots and lots of fake/fraud sites....

I see variations of this on both real and fake sites: "...the existence of FDA's ban of ozone therapy in the USA since the 1940s even after 60 years of prior successful ozone therapy in America. The FDA also ignores the fact that ozone therapy is currently used safely, effectively, and openly in Germany, Russia, and Cuba. Evidently, America's Medical Mafia is not fond of ozone therapy's proven efficacy for a wide range of diseases..."

Don't know how real this site it, but it contains much of the basic information http://www.dentaleconomics.com/articles/print/volume-99/issu...

99% of my information is from my friend; we were in graduate school together, and he worked at this medical device company at the time as a managing engineer.

It looks like the dental profession has a very serious fake news problem.
Ugh, my car has real buttons for changing the stations on the radio, but it's a + type of button. Far too often I hit "up" to change stations up, but no, changing stations up is "right". Pushing the up button changes the genre of stations for the satellite radio. And you'd think I would get used to that, but on the steering wheel controls, the up arrow changes the station up.

Buttons are better than touch, but I still have to fiddle with poorly laid-out buttons.

"The disparity between real-world factory output and Musk’s goals likely means that many of the nearly four hundred thousand people who have already put down a thousand dollars to reserve a Tesla Model 3, which Tesla says will cost about thirty-five thousand dollars, will have to wait until 2019 or later for their cars. "

Extrapolating from the Model S and X to the 3 is probably a mistake. This will probably be true of those at the tail end of the reservation list, but I have a feeling the majority will see their car in 2018. And, of course some reservation holders will not actually buy the car, trimming the list.
They definitely have such parts. Have had my MBP repaired 2-3+ years in multiple times. Remember apple care is 3 years so that would be a minimum.

I assume largely they stock pile them in advance, be interesting to find out for sure how that works.
Well, autonomous car are better than most drivers: violation of insecure/nonprudential behaviour are systematically under-enforced.

The freedom to scare bikes and pedestrians who have had the right to move freely in cities for centuries is a given. The weight of car lobbying creating the jay walking crime have resulted in a culture of road violence turned to the systematic acceptation of behaviour that would over-wise be considered psychopathic asocial. And cars are killing/injuring more citizen worldwide than guns and terrorisms: 35K deaths in 2016 in USA alone for instance.

However why are autonomous cars more secure? Spoiler alert of the secret recipe for progress: because they respect security distance, right priority, stop when pedestrian are engaged on a crossing. Self driving cars don't behave like assholes!

However I see a problem with autonomous car: their sensors can trigger false positive or negative.

Behaving correctly in respect to the other users on the road would cost lest to the collectivity and bring more peace. But, it would mean a political decision, a loss of business for car manufacturer and software industry, it would mean ruling that having money to buy a car don't give you special privileges in the public space.

This would mean that economy should not rule our life.

Only left leaning social-liberals would go for this.

And given who people are voting for recently in occident, we at best head towards a status quo to avoid pissing the car drivers, or hidden subsidies to industry by forcing users to have self driving cars under the claim it will save life.

The giving up on freedom for security.

Ideally, still, not tolerating and sanctioning heavily the violent behaviours could be the right move. Car accidents when injuries are resulting from a non respect of a secure/prudential behaviour should be prosecuted as a criminal intention. And car/software manufacturers should also be held accountable under the same rule of their engineering bugs not solved with due diligence as soon as they are revealed.
I was recently comparing the hangouts API to the join.me API for a project I was working on. I chose join.me mostly because I have been burned too many times by Google shutting down API's.

Further, old houses shift over time. I grew up in a house that look like greek revival from one side and rather different from the sides. It grew from a one room hunting lodge in the 1700's with a separate kitchen into a single structure, and then had some rooms added in the 1950's.
I disagree too, I had to install the ethernet driver, the wifi driver, the soundcard driver and the bluetooth driver manually frome some shady websites on the Internet. The worst was the ethernet driver because I couldn't just download it without internet, I had to use Linux to download it and put it on a FAT formated USB stick.
If I'm not mistaken, didn't the protagonist receive a Voight-Kampff test in the original novel?

> But people care for desktops/laptops for all the other work you can't do without "peripherals", and with just "the cloud and that's it".

I don't disagree. But is that market large enough for Apple to care about? Apple is pretty focused with its product line and it might not make sense for them to continue investing into the desktop market.
That is a facetious and unnecessary remark. I hope you enjoyed your little troll dopamine rush.

You can try to fix high frequency coil vibrations by dousing the responsible component in hot glue or something comparable (the denser the material, the better).

Identifying the part is pretty easy: use a good microphone, put it in a paper tube to make it more directional and move it around the mainboard while observing the spectrum with the audio software of your choice.

I fixed my CRT this way, a looong time ago. I strapped it down with cable ties too, IIRC. Worked like a charm.
Agree entirely, it's one of the few 'real' complaints I have about Laravel, my other is that while the documentation is beautiful it's very terse and often lacks examples (a while back in the 4 days I sent a PR to add examples in a bunch of areas and they where all denied because he wants to keep the docs short, Symfony handles this better, they have multiple docsets with different scopes).
It has become a best practice design style for left nav interfaces. It's a good idea to separate the page with contrast, which often results in a dark left nav and white main section.
In my experience in tech, that level of bluster comes just before the platform is undermined and then overtaken by an insurgent. Watch out for over-confidence. Even paranoia won't keep you in your seat of power, but bluster is a sure sign you're overlooking something important.
Taking this to a logical conclusion, does this mean we would need to press every key on the physical keyboard twice in case we pressed a key by mistake?

It doesn't seem a great thought process or conclusion.

I am sure you would agree that if a user interface doesn't respond correctly first time, it isn't a good user interface. Or if the interface makes it possible to do incorrect things with ease or by accident, it's not a great interface either.

Its nonsense. Ozone therapy is a form of alternative medicine quackery that uses ozone generators and the FDA has cracked down on it because there's no evidence it works and the O3 gas is toxic. It is not banned by the FDA but marketing it as a clinical treatment is. In this sense all molecules that aren't approved drugs are "banned" by the FDA.

If it worked, the FDA would approve it as a Class III (high risk) medical device so my guess is that the OP's friend's company either doesn't have a working product or they just don't want to put in the work to get it approved (Class III devices are the most expensive to get through the FDA).

> fire burns gasses, not solids

That depends on your definition of "burn" and "solid", really. Some fuels only turn into gas due to partial oxidation, or turn directly into plasma - paper would be a good example. Also, solids may have enough surface area to burn all by themselves - coal is a great example here.
