Why is this design better than the HTTPS design, where you make an (integrity-protected) request for a file and you get a (framed, integrity-protected) response for that file over the same TCP connection?

I understand the argument for peer-to-peer gaming, but I don't see why for file transfer, FTP's design is better.

The big difference I see is that a separate TCP connection has separate flow control and avoids head-of-line blocking for multiple simultaneous transfers, but for static file transfers, the only cause of head-of-line blocking should be actual congestion, which would impact every connection simultaneously, right? (That is, it's better for the Internet to route all traffic between two hosts, where neither side is CPU-bound, over a single TCP connection so that TCP can do its thing.)

And certainly active mode (server connects back to client) doesn't seem like it has any benefits to congestion or anything else: once a connection is established, it doesn't matter who established it.
Willing to bet that your mail system is configured in a suboptimal way such that the email gets scanned for virus/spam once per recipient instead of just once over all.

Internal to internal mail shouldn't even need spam filtering. Should probably have virus scanning on though to stop the spread of malware through an org.

Or could be something entirely different.

"I believe it has to do with a culture of "laser focus" "

The problem with this ^focused^ (linear) thinking is the real value of apple in the past has been from ^diffuse^ (intuitive, unconscious wondering connections, slightly riskier) thinking. I know this is simplistic but the successful apple will be using both modes.
Yes, but the more important point (and rule) is not to be rude.
That question is kind of irrelevant. The immutable header is set on items that will never ever ever change. If you expect those to get updated with a ctrl+f5 or something, you shouldn't be setting the immutable header for that item.

The only times I can imagine you want to refresh immutable items anyway is when debugging the network: when your download was corrupted, to watch page timings in the developer console, or when watching the traffic flow in wireshark or something. In those cases I guess there should be a developer option, but you specifically talked about "as a user".
Indeed - you can thank "auto-corrupt" and having to post things from a phone.

Yeah, I think you're right actually. I've removed my comment so it doesn't serve as bad information for anyone.
But this type of vetting is used all the time. Refugees that come to the US (and other countries, including my own, Canada), examine refugee claims using very similar methods.

If you are a minority (religious, ethnic, political) that is used as evidence of persecution and helps your claim for refugee status.
If Donald Trump was Prime Minister of the UK instead of President of the US, do you think the Queen would stop him from doing something like this?

I'm pretty sure the answer is "No".
A patriot will sacrifice his house, money, property, family, wife, children, position in society, friends for his country. Those who are not willing to readily abandon all of that without hesitation, are not patriots.
This is one of those classic statements that you only understand correctly after you have the experience it intends to impart. It teaches you nothing by itself. To really understand it, you need a clearer understanding of "premature" and "optimization". (Keeping track of the preceding text that clarifies that the quote is about small efficiencies doesn't hurt either.)

If a performance choice affects the overall architecture, a public API, the user experience, or the success of your product in the market, optimizing now is not "premature". Now is exactly the time to get it right because if you don't, there might not be a later time to optimize. It is only premature if it taking the slow path doesn't matter much today and the technical debt won't accrue quickly such that it really matters in the future.

If you can safely optimize it tomorrow, without it being significantly more costly to do so than it would be today, it's probably premature. Otherwise, it's probably not.

Likewise, "optimization" doesn't just mean any code where you think about performance at all. You should always be aware of the performance of your code, just like you're aware of its maintainability, robustness, and test coverage. Performance is a fundamental aspect of the craft.

Optimization is really about improving the performance of the code at the expense of other valuable things. Optimized code either takes significantly longer to develop (burning time you could have spent on other features or robustness), or is significantly harder to maintain (usually because the optimization relies on certain assumptions that you can no longer be flexible about) than non-optimized code.

If the faster version doesn't take much longer to develop and doesn't lead to a more calcified codebase, then doing that isn't optimization. Not doing is just silly.

I agree. Is the Mac Mini so special it can't be updated by a small team periodically? Nope. It is in fact a quite mainstream machine, nothing too special about it.

The uniqueness in the Mac Mini lies in Mac OS. No laser sharp focus is needed for incremental hardware updates.

The Mac Pro has unique hardware, but between major redesigns it does not need any incredibly hard work. Just incremental improvements.

I find it absurd too that a company with so much cash in the bank cannot keep a few people performing incremental improvements on their product lines. The Mac Pro for example, is hopelessly outdated now.

I think they underestimate the compound effect of an ecosystem. Several little products, even if they don't bring in insane revenues such as iOS, can help attracting key users which are those that drive innovation. It also contributes to the overall experience of regular folks. For example, by discontinuing screens or routers, things are not as seamless as they once were.
If you try to swipe a chip card then yes, the terminal will reject the swipe and tell you to insert the chip. If your chip fails three successive tries, the terminal will accept a mag swipe instead. I don't know if this is true everywhere but I have seen it in multiple retailers across the US. Point is, if attackers are cloning mag cards from chip data, those cards can still be used in chip terminals.

Is this hand counted? Knowing BSL I can count to 0-19 with one hand using unique gestures. Is there an acknowledged way: knuckle counting, binary, other? I note one can get to 19 (from 1) by moving ones gaze from finger joint to joint if you include finger tips.

Always curious to see alternate modes of counting on the fingers.

So your relocation package was > $30k? That's my point is that I think anything they want to do should be covered with that. It's pretty generous.

Real estate fees for a 1M house is approximately $50k in Canada. Should the company really cover that, plus everything else? That's approaching $100k relocation package for a Dev Manager, if he already lives in a high-cost area of Canada.

At some point, it doesn't make financial sense to switch jobs, there's no shame in that. Personally, I would never recommend anyone to come to SF Bay Area if they have a family with children, and if they spouse isn't a high income earner as well. Especially if they already have a house, it's going to be a big step down. I have friends who make > $400k combined that can't afford a reasonably priced home in the Bay Area.

FTP had been superseded by a wide range of better protocols for a good 20 years now. It doesn't offer anything that hasn't already been reinvented and improved upon in other protocols. It's about time people stopped defending FTP and let it die. After all, we wouldn't be having the same conversation about recommending telnet or rsh instead of ssh. Or teletypes over HD monitors. I'm not somebody who advocates the latest technologies for the sake of being modern (eg I still rock IRC on Irssi) but sometimes there are quantifiable good reasons for switching away from older tech.
I think a lot of people voted for Trump only because they thought Clinton was even worse. AFAICT most of the GOP didn't want Trump either, they just couldn't unify behind one of the alternatives. It's safe to say most of the country is unhappy about this crap.
Not just universities either. After the 2008 recession many private schools started to aggressively court international students, charging them as much as 2-3x base tuition plus room and board. 3 out of the 7 Catholic private schools in my area depend largely on a small group of Chinese students to be able to offer affordable tuitions to low income students. For every international student they lose, they'll lose 5-10 local students because their families can't afford the unsubsidized tuition and the schools will enter into a death spiral. This will happen while at the same time the Department of Education is slowly dismantled and opponents of public education cripple and profiteer off its privatization.

The far reaching and long term consequences the US will experience from this executive order are staggering.

If Putin can control the US from his third world backwater, maybe he deserves to be in power. What makes him so good that the world's most advanced country is powerless against him? Is it because Russians are such good hackers?

Taiwan, Mexico and so on - fair enough. But overall it is not as if all the countries in the world were friends and only Trump is shaking things up now. There were always conflicts of interest, new trends that shift power (like oil and phracking), military interventions and what not.
Were conditional cooperators playing a tit-for-tat strategy or something different?

Disagree. Consumers and businesses (ultimately) pay the interchange fees, and this class of problem is the domain of payment infrastructure providers. I'm not interested in keeping vigilant against the latest exploit, and unless the responsibility for dealing with the problem lies with credit card networks and processing gateways they'll have no reason to stop rolling out crappy easily-owned payment tech.

I fully support Sam's idea.

Trump's power comes from the idea that he'll improve the economy. After this week, it should be clear that he'll do no such thing & maybe quite the opposite. Trump is too incoherent & impulsive.

He blames economic problems on the Chinese & Mexicans. Meanwhile, he ignores the role robots & Amazon will have in job destruction.

Corporate leaders can simply tell him to get lost when he sends a stupid tweet. With this he'll quickly lose his support base.

It'll be tough though. He is promising corporate america a big tax break which will instantly boost valuations (already has), giving CEOs nice bonuses & stock paydays.

I am not an artist myself however every artist that I know who has made use of Krita, Inkscape and Blender say that they are superior to their non-free counterparts.

As for games I would say that it depends. Wolf:ET/ETLegacy for example is superior to most modern FPS games. I believe that the main problem is the lack of free games and artists instead of the quality of the free games.
The GPL uses lawful means to encourage sharing and discourages restricting information.

Richard Stallman and the FSF would encourage you to not engage in restricted media if you don't believe in it. . .not disregard the laws that keep the media restricted.

Piracy and the GPL are NOT implementations of the same goal. The GPL grants a framework for sharing and encourages others to do the same. . . Piracy is availing yourself of something against the wishes of its author.

To say that the GPL and piracy implement the same goal is to suggest that sharing your home with a friend is the same thing as having a stranger squat in your house against your wishes. The sharer and the squatter are not implementors of the same goal.
We didn't get mass surveillance overnight either. It started with some surveillance some of the time, and a court order was required. We ended up with mass surveillance 24/7 with barely any oversight or transparency. Human rights erode over time, unless we resist. Donald Trump is just getting started.

I read that book. What struck me about it was with all the complaining about Rockefeller being rapacious and evil, there was very, very little backing that up. Mostly it boiled down to being very rich, and a tough competitor.

During the anti-trust trial, Chernow wrote that Rockefeller was steadily losing market share due to competitors getting better. I.e. the anti-trust ruling was unnecessary, Rockefeller was unable to manage such a large enterprise efficiently. (Though Chernow did not write that specifically, that's what the facts he presented suggested.)

It's still a great read, I just found that Chernow's conclusions were not supported by the facts he presented.
Personally I think the iPhone 5 (5S, 5SE and those before it) had the correct screen size. With one hand, most users could reach the entire screen. With the larger screen size, that's no longer the case without some awkward handling.

Therefore I think Apple (and others) should make 4" screen but make the body a bit thicker to accommodate a larger battery. I want a larger battery, but not a larger screen.
There are pockets of good school districts in the Peninsula, but any one of them have prices of > $1.5M for 3br2ba and ~1500 sqft. I can't speak for the East Bay, though, but that increases the commute tremendously. Much like the CAP theorem, you can only optimize for two of: good schools, good commute, good house prices.

I said it sounded like he had a sense of entitlement, I actually meant from the point of view of the company. I mean it sounds like he also wants free meals included, and Wifi on the plane as well. $30k I think is pretty generous, all things considered, and at some point, it won't make sense to move to the Bay Area. Does he really expect a $100k relocation package? I hate to say it but he's only a dev manager. Personally I don't think unless his wife is an engineer or another high-wage career, that they shouldn't move. Their quality of life will suffer. Anything less than $300k combined salary is tough with kids, rent, commute, etc.

Performance.
For example: hardware acceleration of movie decoding is (was?) a bit of hit or miss with Linux, while it usually "just works" on Windows. Win is also faster that Mac OS in this regard: mainly due to certain APIs being not available for 3rd party software. The movie might be smooth in QuickTime, but VLC or Kodi will stutter.

At least that was a case few years ago, when I was checking how to play a full HD mkv file on my Mac Mini.
Yes, you are getting a form of hyperventilation as the holding of the breath like that is resulting in exactly what you're referring to. Often times in SCUBA diving and firefighting with SCBA's we refer to this method as "skip breathing". Some people teach to do it in emergency situations when low on air to try and conserve air, but I don't believe there is any backing that it will aid in that, it may even make it worse.

However, the skip breathing can be helpful as it can be a decent way to relax. Most people say to do it to conserve air, but I think the real benefit is that you relax and therefore conserve air.
Just because half of votes wanted it doesn't mean it's not terrifying. That this sort of ideal is taking hold is extremely unsettling.
That can be true, but then the transaction is considered "fallback" and most issuer Banks that have any brains will be examining these very closely with their real time fraud systems. Some deny fallback outright, but I am not sure if this is within scheme rules, it may depend on the region.

I don't think that was meant by laser focus. I think it meant to really hone in on a few things that will have large impact, at the expense of linear improvements.

Apple is in love with the big, sexy revolutionary unveiling and that thrill and opportunity is what they are laser focused on. If it doesn't get them to that point, they say No to it.

That thing might require linear or divergent thinking to make work. But it's all this fixation on that end goal, that flash of excitement and freshness that they, their shareholders, the press and the majority of their users are all hooked on.
