I can understand the fall, since I myself am torn or the subject. I am a huge fan of Apple laptops for two reasons: 1. I can do all my development on the same Unix environment I run Adobe and various DAWs on. 2. Apple's trackpads. Having said that, I've been considering a move back to my previous two-laptop setup; one Linux machine for development and general use, and one Windows machine (shudder) for Adobe and DAWs. I can get a PC with the same specs or better than a Mac, with memory capacities up to 32GB of RAM (twice what Apple offers), for around $1,000.00 less. I could also solve the problem of the vanishing hardware (e.g. ports, Esc key, etc.) by going this route.

However, I still like macOS a million times more than I like Windows. I'm not ready to switch yet, but I'm thinking about it. If Apple continues to neglect their Mac line, and fail to offer specs comparable to their competitors, my thoughts may turn into action. I imagine others are feeling the same way.
That's a valid reason indeed. Also technological consolidation, that is, if I can do everything with a single DB / language / ... I always tend to use a single thing.

> I thought pot had been legalised in some states...

what the states think is legal, and what the feds think is legal do not, and have never had to agree. the feds have massively longer lists of illegal things than most states.

state legalization generally has no effect on the feds.
The John Sculley era Apple was extremely successful. This was the era of the original Mac, Mac II lines, Quadras, Powerbooks, Quicktime, and Hypercard. And turned Apple from a million dollar company to billion dollar one.

Near the end they were in too many product categories with overlapping products. Management had lost the plot and it was showing in inventory, staff, and development. I know everyone likes to believe that Apple was always failing when Steve became iCEO but that was not the way it happened.

Looks simple, great, like something I'd wanna use and later on when I fall into the habit possibly subscribe to. Buuuut, not available in my country. How come it isn't worldwide?

Now, I got a bunch of questions:

Why don't you link your instagram/twitter from the site? Had to google it which was "ugh" already.

How do you pick your teachers?

Why do you think you can take the piece of the big player's pie in this market?

What is your marketing strategy (if not secret)?

How well do you sync with calendars (can I put reminders in my Google calendar)?

How come you moved the focus from "keeping the streak" to "choose your meditation"?

Are teachers getting paid based on the number of plays, finishes, fixed rate or?

Congrats on launching and wish you all the best! Go kill it!

Also now that I've found your instagram, why the hell don't you post a 60 second meditation as an instagram video? That would be so awesome.
Cannot agree.

E.g. the best parts of OOP were the ideas of data encapsulation, of modularity, of interfaces separate from implementations. These live on, whether you use method dispatch and inheritance or not.
It's also incredibly different in the US in weird ways.

Amsterdam is a place where you can go into any coffee shop and smoke there on premises. If you don't need to buy more, many will let you smoke and use their toilets if you buy a beer, coffee or snacks.

Smoking tobacco is a part of European culture and I was surprised to see smoking allowed indoors in many places, both in the west and east (several states in Germany seemed to allow it, or at least not enforce bans; same in Croatia, Montenegro, etc.) In the Pacific North West US, tobacco smoking bans are stricter than anywhere else I've seen in the US. Few bars even have outdoor smoking areas. I have never seen smoking areas outside pot stores (I think it's illegal).

This actually makes for a vastly different culture. Also in the Pacific Northwest, very few pot stores will take a foreign drivers license, even for alcohol! (In other parts of the US, people don't normally card adults -- it's really weird), so you're not going to see the same type of marijuana tourism seen in The Netherlands.

I'm curious what the culture is like in other places that have approved recreational cannabis. Anyone from Colorado or Maine want to chime in?
It's perfectly fine to use the debugger in such situations. Please see my other response on this topic:

> If everything was going well (including your own health), you would not be depressed.

This is tautological, and hence true, but an uninteresting point. Just pretend it says "... Depression is when you feel down even when all is going well except of course for the disorder in your brain."
> Leaving physical access to a PC is bad practice in any case.

Okay, so imagine you're in a country where homosexuality is illegal, but you still are trying to live your life as a human (the majority of which seek companionship).

"Oh sorry, not only are you ruined when they kick down your door, but everyone you've ever networked with is at risk now too maybe try not living there ha ha goodbye!" is not a story.

What's more, I just want to point out Apple and Google have been trying very hard to make devices which all but the most resourced individuals cannot break. As you implied, some access weaknesses exist to this day, but right now for desktops and laptops this "welp I guess you deserved this because you weren't careful" attitude seems to rule the discourse.

It's shortsighted, it's regressive, it's unhelpful. And while I cannot know your motivations, I know many folks who are so paranoid that Intel and AMD might have backdoors in their boot integrity verifiers that they're willing to ignore people desperate to keep secrets on that principle rather than try and make an actual best effort at security.
>the moral majority shout louder (and have more money) //

Yet, the very rich seem to be doing drugs like nobody's business. Half of the stories you hear on TV couch shows seem to be "well all us celebrities were high on cocaine, again, and blah, blah, blah".

If you wanted to round up drug users you could probably just do a pat-down at the BBC and supplement that with a dawn-raid on the top 20 media personalities of the moment.

I think there is a genuine risk that widescale and easy access to certain drugs can damage a country's productivity, which in turn damages the elites' profits; personally that seems the most likely reason for most drug laws, mixed in with a not-insignificant amount of protecting people from themselves, for sure.
And it's being covered by ComputerWorld. Say no more. Thanks to "free" industry-supported publications like this -- designed to make non-technical management feel good about following the Microsoft/Cisco/Oracle status quo -- my efforts to integrate Linux into my company's operations in the 90's was very frustrating.

Man you've got to pull your head out of your ass. Illegal weed creates potential for a black market and uncontrolled sale to minors. It is much easier for a kid in highschool to buy weed than get beer from the store. The massive profits just from weed sale allow for sophisticated criminal rings that fuel other crimes. You talk about taxing cigarettes, do you know what s happening as a result? Contraband cigarette sales are booming. You know what i had instant access to when i was in highschool? weed and contraband cigarettes and alcohol was the hardest to find ... I wonder why. You say weed causes permanent brain damage and slows down your cognitive functions. Do you know who fucking Michael Phelps is? Ya the guy with the most Olympic gold medals who also happens to smoke weed. If you don't want to smoke, then don't, it's as simple as that but don't fuck with progress.

Certainly with laptops; PC laptops 4 years ago were really a cut below the macbook pro. PC laptops have improved so much in 4 years. And apple just gimped the latest mbp with a really bad keyboard and another $500 on the sticker.
I'm not sure I believe your assertion that building a PC makes people love it for life— I built a PC in high school, then switched over to a Macbook for college and haven't looked back.

Now that fiddling with computers is my job, it's less appealing as a hobby.
I know a couple people involved in the MJ business in CO. My understanding is that the risk is that the feds could seize assets in a federal bank so nobody is willing to take the risk of depositing assets that could be seized. Allowing MJ businesses into the banking system would certainly help things, but that would require removing MJ from the federal controlled substances list.

I'm also told that notwithstanding the possibility that some bank might take your deposits, the MJ business is effectively cash-only because of the risk of seizure. It's also not as high margin as I initially thought. Honestly, from talking to a few people, it doesn't look like that great a business to be in. For one thing, CO rules require tracking from seed to sold. For any particular item in your inventory, you have to be able to track back to who grew it, who processed it (for oils and extracts), who manufactured the product - the paper trail is extensive and the penalties for messing up are stiff.
I agree. The best way to deal with true depressions (which is not caused by circumstance) is to simply do things.

Anything. (But not passive things like watch something, or read something.)

Make something, drive, hike, volunteer, clean, garden. Whatever.

You can help them by thinking of what activity they often do, and doing it with them. But remember to think of what they do, not what you do.
A tail-recursive ("looped") process without an explicit termination is a typical server, terminated by killing the process (sorry, the impure outside world is sometimes cruel).
Sometimes the reason you are feeling depressed has nothing to do with how things are going. My depression was caused by things that had happened in the past and that I didn't spend any time consciously thinking about. Dealing with that stuff took some work, but once I did, my depression lifted and hasn't returned.

Depression means, even if things are going well, you can't feel good about it.

That may be the case. However when such tickets are open for 6-7 years with no update the general viewpoint everyone I know that uses Bitbucket has is that it will never be a priority to Atlassian.

Adding things like large file storage support is cool, I guess, but when you never use it its rather a case of appearing to prioritize certain market segments over others.

I know I've read the article that states how you prioritize, with a major one being usage patterns. But I wonder just how accurate a metric that is given in my specific group, we've started to avoid using the review tooling in bitbucket because its almost impossible to use to accomplish the goal.

Unless the idea is for Bitbucket to have a completely minimal set of features and for anything useful to pay license fees for plugins I can't quite make sense of how the priorities are decided.
The Vice show Weediquette had a good episode [1] where they looked at these aspects of the cannabis industry in The Netherlands. It's bizarre that the coffee shops are fully allowed to sell something that there is no legal way to produce or acquire in the country. The government even prosecutes many distributors and growers. And they wonder why organized crime is having such an impact on that industry?

I have a theory about why some people create art.

When you're happy and things are going well, there's no need for any external purpose for your life because living and experiencing it are their own purpose.

When things are going badly and you aren't happy, then you tend to start looking for ways to justify your existence, like maybe your life kind of sucks but it still has some higher-level meaning because you can still make something beautiful or that makes other people's lives better. I think a lot of good art came about in this way, and I think it's usually good for the creator of the art as well as the rest of us who are enjoying the things they created.

Helping people directly rather than through art is another thing that a person might do, but that's harder, especially when you're going through hard times yourself.

Of course it is quite possible to be prevented from creating art by depression, in which case other ways of dealing with it (such as seeking professional help) may be in order.
Yes. Supply and demand as applied to compensation for labour is a capitalist idea of how society should work, and results in all sorts of issues, including the ones discussed in this thread and the fact that the value people create gets siphoned into the capitalist class by way of the companies they're forced to work for to survive, for less compensation than the value they create.

The solutions to this lie in the ideas of worker-led organisations of varying kinds, mutual aid, and more generally the reduction of the role a capitalist class takes in the production of value. And yes, accessible education to all.
Show HN: Staffjoy V2 – Text message-based employee scheduling app

This comes across as: "Now that we've got all your private data, there's a diminishing return on maintaining a system to collect it again, so we'll go for some positive PR by putting this interface up and let you secure a false sense of privacy"

They've been collecting "telemetry" through an opaque encrypted collection system [1], and after a year of this collection, comes a "deep commitment to privacy"? This is very difficult to believe. Am I needlessly cynical here?

[1] As far as I know, nobody has decrypted the "telemetry" streams, so we don't actually know what MSFT is collecting, so nobody can be sure that it doesn't collect your sensitive documents, private keys, keyboard logs, etc.

I understand what you are saying sounds reasonable as a person who doesn't have depression, but it is not correct. I mean, unless you're defining "going well" to include "not having depression", at which point I agree, but then what are we even discussing?

This is a good starting point for the medical definition of depression (https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/depression/index.shtm...). Note the variety of treatments proposed that don't involve psychotherapy. These treatments aren't people taking the easy way out, these treatments are for people treating chemical imbalances in their brain that make it difficult for them to function in their daily lives.

For a more lighthearted discussion of depression, the new podcast "The Hilarious World of Depression" features interviews with comedians who suffer from depression, and how they've struggled with and managed from the disease.
Today Staffjoy (YC Fellowship 1) is launching a new version of our scheduling application. We started by focusing on bringing big company scheduling technology to small businesses. We found some early success with on-demand startups and call centers. Yet, we had trouble crossing the chasm.

We stepped back earlier this year to focus on why so many businesses still run on pen and paper. We found that offline scheduling was a symptom of deeper communication issues.

Staffjoy V2 is a ground-up rewrite that focuses on sharing work schedules in less time. We do this by sending workers their schedules over text message. When there are changes, we send the latest schedule to affected workers.

We optimized our architecture for messaging, and we plan to expand beyond SMS soon. You can read about it here: https://blog.staffjoy.com/staffjoys-v2-architecture-9d2fcb40...

We chose to focus on text messages after doing extensive user studies in the service industry. We found that many workers lacked email addresses, and operated on prepaid phones. Managers would text them photos of the schedule because it was the best way to reach them. So, we automated this process.

Moving forward, we will focus on improving the core scheduling experience. We plan to use text messages to engage directly with employees and create flexibility. We also plan to integrate scheduling with other business tools. To do that, we plan to announce our first integration partners later this month.

Finally, today we’re excited to announce a $1.2M seed round of funding, led by Caffeinated Capital (detailed here: http://venturebeat.com/2017/01/10/staffjoy-raises-1-2-millio... )

tl;dr: Touch bar is in the way, and provides near-zero utility; at best, it's a distracting visual element for touch-typists. Other than that, the new features are not worth the hassle/price. The only feature I really do like is the fingerprint reader.
Well, of course professional escorts are happy. Backpage was, at best, competition for them, allowing "independent contractors" to offer competing services for cheaper. At worst, it was a very popular sting site for cops, effectively scaring off customers in the area.

When you're a "pro" with your own website and $600/hr price, Backpage is competition. I don't think they're happy about it because of concerns about human trafficking.
I think it's the combination of mandatory updates and zero tolerance for error that will be interesting.

For example city X decides to change some traffic rule on date Y. Each autonomous vehicle will need to receive an update by date Y. What happens if a vehicle hasn't been updated soon enough?

One solution is a mandatory update scheme. Every day a vehicle checks if it has received its daily update, if not the vehicle is disabled. Another more long term solution could be close co-ordination with cities to determine which upcoming traffic rule changes warrant mandatory (vehicle cannot be enabled without update) updates.

These corner cases may seem trivial, but with zero tolerance for error across hundreds of thousands of cities careful strategies will need to be developed.
First, I love that HN is a place where we get that kind of clarification so Thank You.

Anyway, to be pedantic 29.0% is closer to 25.0% -4% than 33.3% + 4.3%. But, it's also 'close to' 1/4, so I don't have an issue with your phrasing.

However, as you note this is 'involving' a drunk driver. So, that 29% is inflated by cases where the sober driver struck a drunk one. </ done beating a decaying equine.>
I feel like what happened to the author epitomizes the experience of a generation that graduated in the year or two right before the crash of 2008. The first round of layoffs obviously disproportionately effected people that were just starting off their careers at that time (of course other groups were disproportionately hit hard as well). It happened to me being about a year into my career as I was still feeling my way around. It happened to many of my friends as well, and was especially hard on the group of folks that didn’t have the fortune to have gone into the IT field. And once you are out of work for a year or two when the recovery started happening, the resume’s of people fresh out of college look more attractive than the out of work ‘lazy millennial’ which only compounded the problem. Having facebook made it easier to kind of see what was going on with the larger crowd of acquaintances that I maybe would not have explicitly kept track of and though its hard to compare my experience against other cohorts I feel like depression and alcoholism are more of a problem for the group I am describing than others.

In my case I feel lucky for the experience, I was only out of work for a few months and learned that you should never trust the company you are working for beyond the next paycheck. Never work on weekends with the promises you will be ‘paid back’ etc. You are ultimately working for yourself regardless if you are salaried or contract.
