I've had no issues, and am pleasantly surprised by how happy I am with the new keyboard.
If you think it may be along the lines of the article and don't have a resource, I'd recommend Dr. Sarno's A Divided Mind. I had two bouts of knife-jabbing back pain (couldn't walk down a hall without holding the wall) twice, a year apart. While I think the way Dr. Sarno approaches the subject has too much hand waiving, approaching it through the psychosomatic lens gave me better results than anything else I tried, and I haven't had a recurrence for the last few years.

Had another friend with similar back issues who was told it was his disks from some 'top' doctors and he had similar results as me.
This link is just timing out for me. HN hug of death?
I hope awesome-list owners all agree with a master topic and each of them will use that!
It would be surprising to me if a completely deterministic strategy wasn't within some very close margin of an optimal strategy. For example, if you think you should raise with JJ 1/3 of the time and call the rest of the time in some spot, then you can raise JcJd and JhJs and call with the other jacks. This can give your opponent slightly more information about your range in some cases (for example, if they hold a J themselves), and of course you can only approximate correct frequencies, but it's highly unlikely (in my opinion at least) that such a deterministic strategy would be terrible.
Something of a loaded question, but more, a super hard question.

Your question is loaded because it assumes that ownership of such machines is the best solution for those made unemployed by them - I think this is probably flawed, because management is a different skill set than direct contribution.

The problem is that the worker's skills have lost value. They need new skills - management skills for owning the machines, or different skills that haven't been automated yet.

Or maybe a refinement on their existing skills. My understanding of Japanese factories is that it's commonplace to have one of the fabrication lines done by people - the thinking goes: "If you do not know how to do it better, how can you make machines do it better?". I also remember a story of, I think it was GE, getting their designers, engineers, and assemblers (the people literally putting the pieces together) all together to improve the design. The assemblers noted a particularly difficult step, and in making that step easier, the engineers removed a number of parts. Everything got better.

Let's look at the other part of your question - incentives for building the automation. It seems like the R&D incentive comes from the end-user value, so let's skip to that - I want an automated machine for a number of reasons: Quality consistency, up time, wage cost reduction, safety. Eventually, all of these do boil down to "profit", but the routes taken are important. QC means you can sell more and/or charge more; but you could make more and charge less in ways that make more or less profit.

I don't think I can answer your question, because I don't know why you think that the incentives for building them would be removed; and in my head, the first blocker for the recently unemployed to own such machines is wanting to run a business. I don't think most people want that.
Sieve Equivalence in Generalized Partition Theory (1983) [pdf]
I don't think that's a significant issue. Ycombinator's political positioning goes beyond a one line statement "We oppose nativism, xenophobia, and authoritarianism."

The partners in their individual capacities largely stick to statements on specific issues, and YC itself mostly promotes specific organizations and policies, eg permissive immigration rules for entrepreneurs. There's little ambiguity in those statements and actions, so it's up to every individual applicant to determine whether the sum indicates an overall culture they could enjoy.

If you have a specific YC action/statement which you think runs counter to a conservative position outside of nativism, xenophobia, authoritarianism, the HN readers would probably enjoy reading it so they can weigh its meaning for themselves.

Keyboard mostly a non-issue, as I use a mech, but it's not bad, just different. My Logitech BT mouse disconnects, but that's a Sierra issue, as it happened on my previous machine (and is a documented issue with Logitech apparently). Monitor support is wonky, but not too bad if you stick with only DisplayPort with a DP->USBC cable or use the official Apple dongle with HDMI. Apple's TB display works great with the TB2->TB3 adapter. (Eagerly anticipating the TB3 docks coming out later in the year)

On TouchBar: Yes, it definitely has its advantages and disadvantages. I dig the touch ID login. Escape key issue only annoyed me a time or two, but I'm not a heavy VIM user, and the ESC key is actually wider than most people realize (space to left of it is actually additional touch target for the key, so you actually have an easier to type ESC key in actuality)
"The fascists of the future will be called anti-fascists" -Churchill
> He addresses this line of logic

He doesn't, and it's not a line of logic, it's an interpretation of the evidence. Graham didn't even look at the evidence, and came to a conclusion that becomes very hard to support once you've had a glance at a chart of the available evidence (i.e. deep analysis isn't required to recognize that his proposed mechanism is flawed).

Also, you should really heed my 3rd note. You cannot speak effectively on income inequality without having read Picketty. It is by far the most significant treatment on the subject. It goes far beyond my simple counterpuntal analysis here to bat down a poorly thought out and completely unresearched pure logical argument. At least read a couple informed reviews of Picketty. I seem to recall FT, the Economists, Mankiew and Krugman having worthwhile, messy and conflicting thoughts after it was published. Graham just is not a useful resource on income inequality.

To address your point: Yes, Macro 101 makes it clear that trade multiplies wealth, thus wealth is non-static. The Graham argument you cite is incredibly elementary, and he is not the source to be citing on the topic. That particular question is miles more elementary than any discussion of the impacts of income inequality on macroeconomic factors. Bringing it up when talking about Income Inequality is kind of like citing a clunky explanation of Newton's 2nd law of motion in a discussion about time dilation effects of supersonic flight (which relies on non-Newtonian physics). To wit, analysis of Income inequality requires going beyond the overly simplistic macroeconomic models that have led Economists to mispredict the effects of income inequality for so long. Macro 101 is not useful here. The current evidence in the field is conter-intuitive and difficult to reconcile for expert economists.

Also, again, Graham's essay is very outdated and has, to be charitable, been surpassed by more careful and thorough resources on the topic.
As a home brewer, any of these styles, even 10% or higher is easily accomplished by any seasoned brewmaster. And for the quantity of beer brewed, and number of breweries, there must have been many. I must say that I cannot agree with the authors conclusion surrounding strong beer, as I have one in my fridge, made with barley and rye in the old way at 10.7 as determened by hydrometer. It kicks like a mule but is very drinkable.
Spouses of certain H-1B holder - those you are in the green card backlog - can get work permit. This is typically called H4EAD. Here is the relevant notice from USCIS: https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/temporary-worker...

"not like conservatives are forced to get abortions"

What if the conservative hasn't been born yet? Maybe they wouldn't want to be aborted. Do they get a choice, or should we reduce their liberties and victimize them?

See, you're ignoring a person's rights. There is more than one person involved, but for only one person is the issue literally a matter of life and death.

The fact that such a person can't live alone is no different than the fact that some elderly and paralyzed people can't live alone. The unborn have brain waves; with that you normally are not allowed to euthanize a person.

To the conservative, you are asking them to stand aside while a murder happens, and then you essentially say "It's not like conservatives are forced to commit murder".

Yes, that is a route that is most likely to create a long term solution to the 2 party system. I just don't see it being implemented (or honestly) any genuine advocates for it.

It is one of those issues the GOP drops whenever they control the Federal government.

Realistically, I'd like to see a minimal federal government that was intelligently run as a LEO/Military/Justice/Treaty as its primary responsibilities and actually enforced the constitutional rights of Americans instead of restricting them. But that will never happen.
> Even the more egalitarian House somewhat overrepresents the more sparsely populated states

"Sparse" isn't exactly true, since it's population not density that drives it. And, because of granularity effects, it's not consistently bigger states that lose in the House; the most underrepresented state in the House is also a small state (Delaware.)

Because of the 2/state Senate electors, though, it's consistently more populated states that lose in the EC.

What civil liberties?

You think it is a civil liberty that foreign nationals may enter the United States?
Not OP, but I replied above - basically I never used HDMI other than plugging in my monitor, only at my desk. Now I plug in power, 4k display, keyboard and speakers with a single cable, so a much better solution for my setup (Especially considering I grab and go a lot since I work from home.)

Also as far as tripping over a cable it is unlikely to happen to me, given I leave my laptop at my desk charging overnight so I rarely ever use a power cord away from my desk (given the average 8 or so hours of battery.) Pretty much only when traveling, but even then it will likely just be charging while I'm not using it.

Christmas 2016 was my first time in an apple store since forever (i.e the iphone 5).
I went in and bought the last iphone with a headphone jack: the iphone 6s.

I firmly believe a looot of people did exactly that too.

So, imho, the iphone 6s is the absolute best seller ever at Apple (especially since iphone 7 announcement :).
I would argue that paranoia about the intelligence services and spying helped create the situation we're currently in. We feel like we're living in a police state and that feeling is going to cause us to sit back and watch a true police state be implemented.

That isn't to say that spying and warrentless wiretapping isn't/wasn't a problem, but I think we'll come to realize that it was nothing compared to what we've done now.
Are you sure you didn't tick the "Yes, send me information about related campaigns box"? Because this is what their privacy statement reads:

"When we give you an opportunity to voluntarily submit information about yourself, we may give you the option of indicating that you permit us to share that data with other parties such as coalition partners or specific legislators. We will not share your data with such parties unless you have indicated that you permit us to do so."

Because you are making a strong accusation: "they shared my data without my consent"
i thought that too. it was... 60000 more? However, there were big shipping delays in the first month of release, so looking at what the Q2 numbers are may be a better judge of the 'demand'. For some folks, though, the demand was tempered by the price, and now hearing there may be yet another refresh in the next year... I think it's keeping more folks on the fence.

I bought one, and returned it, and got a 2015 refurb instead. keep my magsafe, i like the keyboard better, upgraded screen from what I had before (i really like the retina, and didn't have one for years), and about $1000 less.

I like the newer keyboard, but it's louder, and bugged more people in the rooms I shared.

That said, if/when a new refresh comes around with a 32g option, I'll be there.
Conventional Wikipedia-quality news outlets are doing well at present, btw - the NYT reported in November that subscriptions had skyrocketed since the election. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/17/new-york-times-says-subscript...

I've been very pleased to see in the past couple of weeks that journalists have discovered actual journalism again, the sort that doesn't go for false balance and instead paints obvious BS as BS. Which is heartening to see, if a year late.

Having the customers be the readers, not random advertisers, appears to be a way to get the right things happening. So if you want to do a news startup, work out ramen profitability in the era of adblockers.

I might note also: my Facebook two weeks ago was "here's fun stuff your friends are doing, here's their funny cat pictures" and now it's 24/7 "LATEST DISPATCHES FROM THE WAR AGAINST THE INVADING HELL DEMONS". My wife boots her brain every morning reading Facebook on the tablet and I've asked her to keep it to only the worst news from overnight. (I used to read my Facebook to get a rest from that sort of thing on my Tumblr. I must admit I'm not doing so well at making my own FB anything other than LATEST HELL DEMONS news.) I mean, this is understandable - a lot of these people are seriously worried for themselves and their loved ones. So there's a market of pissed-off liberals who've newly discovered radicalism and would like it without BS, that present liberal-pandering outlets aren't quite feeding. What would something that works for that look like? How would you get their $3/month?
I don't think you understand how tolerance works. It goes both ways and is hard for a reason. If you demonize all the people not living in cities or west coast, no wonder they reject the ideas that come out of these places.
My macbook pro is having problems waking up lately--very annoying. It's a 2015 15" model... I think they must have something screwy going on with a recent update.
I will never buy a computer again. You can find lots of very powerful computers in trash bin (e.g. my current 2013 MBP). People buy a piece of very precious materials and throw it away in 2 years. I think this is one of the most unethical things a man can do.

You think that you need your computers up to date because you are a geek and you must stay up to date to remain competent. This is not true. You can manage with less and you more than anyone else know how to handle a computer with slightly less resources.

These kind of numbers from a company advocating this throw away culture makes me very sad.
Of those 3 figures you listed, the more interesting statistic is the YOY comparison (+1.1% increase) of Q1-2016 to Q1-2017 since new Macs are often introduced in the preceding 4th quarter.

Yes, some of the HN crowd may have over-dramatized the decline of the new Macbook Pro. However, the financial report's "Mac" category includes Macbook (not Pro), Macbook Air, iMac, etc. Since all those different Mac variations are baked into one opaque category, it's possible that the new Macbook Pro sales numbers were bad but it was offset by strong iMac sales. A +1.1% increase in sales quantity (+62000 units) may not be all that impressive.
Who's rights?

You think it is a "right" for foreign nationals to enter the United States?
Lots of HN readers are like that, too.
My point is that both are flawed and have their uses.

It is much more difficult, as interactions between all of the players usually have to be modeled.
I want to take an alternative route. I want to start a company that generates fake news. I believe that AI could be used to analyze social media and determine the popularity of various threads or which stories get the broadest circulation in social media circles. Then analyze the content and wording to determine transmissibility; what makes something "go viral". Obviously a lot of this technology could be used to tag other fake news, but I'm in it to make money. Lies, deceit and deception; "Alternative Facts" and "Signaling" if you prefer, are the name of the game now. Nobody ever went broke underestimating the gullibility of the American public.

That being said, I think it would be a huge challenge for AI to comprehend all the nuances, inferences and subtle hints in many tweets or facebook posts and dig out both the explicit and implicit meanings.
It's a civil liberty that the privilege of entry is not granted in manner which amounts to state favor to, or disfavor to, a particular religion.

Entry of aliens itself is not a civil liberty.
A lot of brand names have vague or no references to what they do – Apple, Nike, Google, Heroku – we had a few other initial names that were like "Craft" and "Tailor" but didn't really work for us. We tried the more obvious ones and our customers didn't like them.

I'm still happy with the name two years later though and still love our branding. With the name we could use it in a few ways to make it more about learning... "learn the SuperHi way", "SuperHi school", etc.

We're also a bootstrapped company, so zero investment available for spending $$$ on a domain name. In the end, we went with what felt right for us and what our customers liked.
Right now, the job market is super over crowded. There are a lot of jobs out there but too many people applying... You get a rejection on a 99/100 score (one tiny mistake and you're out), actually, even a 100/100 score sometimes will lead you to a rejection because other candidates were stronger than you. Too many people are applying from everywhere at the moment.

>Am I right to be angry about the interview process?

You have the right to be angry about it. But ask yourself if that anger is doing you any good? If not, why bother getting worked up?

Are you in a position that allows you to decline interviews? Do you feel strongly that interviews should be conducted in a certain way? Feel free to turn down any that don't meet your requirements.

But don't expect any company to accommodate your desires in their interview process. It's just the way it is.
Labor unions and labor movements push political non-labor agendas all the time. For example, general strikes led by labor movements are standard tools of nationalist and anti-colonial independence movements, and Western labor unions have gone on strike to demand better environmental policies.

>> Because it's the biggest way to show power the taxi drivers have.

> Any amount of power they have, the state has more of it. The only way they can achieve something is if they get the public on their side.

This is an argument over tactics, where I believe the left-wing outpouring of support has vindicated the decision to strike. They've drawn attention to their cause, and brought to mind a productive sector of the economy dominated by immigrants (particularly from the Middle East and South Asia). People are often persuaded by the depth of feeling shown by others, and strikes (since they damage your own income) are a good way of proving your dedication in a material way.
In Australia, 7-11 was paying staff minimum wage then demanding half of it back in cash. Literally mugging their own staff.

> But the new macbook pro's are pretty revolting to me -- I used one at the apple store for a few minutes

Thank you for your in-depth review. Many people judged the new MacBook Pro based on its press release alone, but you went the extra mile and used one at the Apple Store for a few minutes.
This is exactly how we run my company, I even had to click your username to see if you work for us.
> 4. Dongles - This is another temporary problem until devices are all USB-C.

What I've learned from all this discussion about usb-c is that some people replace all their peripherals and secondary devices on a much more aggressive timescale than I do. For me dongles would likely be an annoying companion, with few or no usb-c devices ever plugging in to it, for the lifespan of this MPB if I bought one today.

My next one in 3-5 years, that might be a different story. But for this one, now? All-usb-c is a turn-off, as it'll be years before that's a "feature" that makes me say anything other than "oh, that's an unfortunate limitation".
Developers can also become unhappy when they are working on products which they think either aren't important or aren't ethical.

hearing this kind of rhetoric from Democrats and left-leaning media("they give up rights when the went into business") is exactly what caused the center of the country to swing further right in the last election.

Do you have any evidence for that?
Nice, thanks for the link, I was sort of hoping it would explode violently but probably good that it didn't.
I probably should have said 'Northeast' rather than 'urban New England' specifically.
I mis-remembered; that area encompasses fewer states than I thought it did (and NH is a good counterexample- gun laws there are great, if I remember correctly).

Anyways, in the Northeast, the states with less liberal gun laws (NY/MD/CT/Mass./NJ) also happen to contain most of that area's population, especially in the larger cities like NYC/Boston/Baltimore. NH is good, but it's a very small piece of that region.
At the end of the day, the MBP isn't built only for developers and creatives. We're a subset of the customer base, always have been. (I suspect they sell more to soccer moms and college kids than "pros")
Yes, I wondered about that too. Have they switched to reviewing all applications on a rolling basis? Or is it just applications in these particular categories?
