> Electronically transferring data from a server in a foreign country to Google’s data center in California does not amount to a “seizure” because there is no meaningful interference with the account holder’s possessory interest in the user data.

So, because data can be copied and doesn't deprive the original account holder of their data, this doesn't count as a seizure?

> the electronic data disclosed by Google pursuant to the warrants will occur in the United States when the FBI reviews the copies of the requested data in Pennsylvania.

And because law enforcement will review the documents in the United States, this doesn't count as a "search" outside the US.

This line of reasoning seems really crazy to me. What if these had been physical documents? Would this have been ruled in the same way? Say that the US government photocopied a set of files outside the United States and planned to only review them in the US.

If Apple has seen that most people buy their Macbook Pros as Facebook machines, then maybe launch a new line that actually targets the pros, and give it another name for differentiation purposes.
As a counterpoint, I am still annoyed by the touch bar. Whenever you're idle for a minute the touch bar powers down, which means the keys stop working. So when you're watching video first the touch bar lights up, reflecting the light onto the screen which is distracting, especially at night. After a minute the touch bar turns dark, even though the touch bar contains the brightness slider and media keys, the only keys you're interested in! So you first have to touch the touch bar, wait for it to turn on, hunt & peck for the icon you need and press it. It's remarkably bad.

The app-specific touch bar features are gimmicky and useless. So I've turned them off and I'm now using the touch bar with fixed icons, because that way at least I regain some touch-typing ability.

I expected the touch bar would be useful to input emojis, but it turns out that scrubbing through 300+ emojis on a tiny horizontal bar takes way too long. Most apps can pull up a list of favorite or recently used emojis, and that works just fine.

When in an intense debugging session I like to rest my fingers on the step-over, step-into, step-out function keys, while I compare mentally what should happen with what happens in reality. Ruining a debugging session and losing your concentration because of the damn touch bar is infuriating.

When using Windows or Linux on a MBP the touch bar is worse than conventional function keys in every single way.

The touch bar is worse still when rebooting the MBP after a system update, because the touch bar doesn't turn on until after you log in. Last time this happened the screen was at minimum brightness, but without the touch bar I couldn't turn the brightness up. And when you accidentally trigger voice control with the power button you can't hit escape to shut it up, because escape isn't powered on either!

The touch bar is after a few months of use still a miserable experience.

There is enough physical space on a 15" MBP for a full size keyboard, but instead we get minuscule arrow keys. Ugh.
Here's an anecdote, for what it's worth.

I do a lot of doodling boxes-and-arrows stuff, pseudo-UML, half-assed flow-charts, etc., when working on ideas. For some strange (and largely irrelevant) reason, I'm really picky about the pencils I use. And my favorite ones have apparently gone out of production. So last week, I order two new high-end mechanical drafting pencils from Amazon. They show up, I like them right away, so I order 5 more.

The package arrives, and there are only 3 pencils. From what I can tell, they were loosely slopped in along with the book that in the same order and the packaging was loose enough that I'm guessing the other 2 actually fell out.

I login to Amazon.com (this was on Friday), report the 2 missing pencils, and wait to see what happens.

A few hours later I get a notice that a replacement package is 5 pencils is being overnighted to me. Note that only two were lost from the original package.

For all the grief Amazon gets, at times their customer service can be pretty damn good.

Wal-Mart, OTOH, to me, just "feels" like a place to get mostly cheap crap, sold by underpaid employees with surly attitudes. I don't even think of walmart.com as a place to shop online. They're so far off my radar that they might as well not have e-commerce.

The question then, to me, is how many people have a world view like mine? And if the answer is a large number, how does Wal-Mart get people to consider them at all? Leveraging the hybrid "click and mortar" thing sounds like a good start, but I'm wondering if it will be enough.
To literally answer your question: by working 5+ years in the industry.

Most of the media industry's problems with malvertising would disappear if they only served up <img> tags. They could also one-up the ad blockers by serving images from within their own domain.

I've been using one of the new 15" with the touch bar for about 2 weeks now.

I agree there's a lot more hate in user forums than on professional review sites. I don't know that either are 100% honest... but I think it's because for so long Apple set the bar so high. My biggest gripe with my 2016 MBP is that it doesn't feel like there's any room to grow. Every MBP I bought to date felt like it was way ahead of the curve. The new ones... meh, they are fine. Just nothing special. (I wouldn't have bought it for myself, but since work was paying...)

1) I don't notice the battery life being any better (or worse). When I'm just surfing the web / doing emails... it lasts a good 4-5 hours. I always plug in when I'm at my desk and I can certainly go between meetings fine. When I play a video, fire up a game, or do a site crawl (for a 250k+ page site) the battery doesn't last. The old ones didn't either.

2) Keyboard took some getting used to... but I do like it now. I really didn't at first. And I didn't like it until I went back to use my old computer and the old keyboard just felt soft and loose -- the old-style keys had more give to them, now typing on that feels like trying to drive a car with huge tires on.

3) Dongles... I miss the MagSafe power plug... I really wish Apple would have left that. But I bought a little hub for all my USB products and it's fine. I have another dongle for HDMI cords. I don't love the new ports, I see no benefit to them... but, I get it -- Apple wants to push the envelope where it can. I carry a lot more dongles with me now that I have at any point in history. Not a fan of this situation at all. I don't want to carry a bag full of wires with me.

4) My old MBP had an upgraded graphics card, and the new one is just stock. I think my 2013 with the upgraded card handles games better than the stock 2016... but that's not fair since I boot to Windows on my old computer. Macs aren't for gaming... I know. But like... sometimes shooting a few aliens in XCOM is a good way to kill time when a client bumps the meeting back. =P The fact it can't run games from 2012 at max settings... this does bug me because of how expensive this computer was. It handles "medium" settings about as well as my 2013 with the upgraded graphics card did...

5) I don't use the touch bar. I just have it set to show function keys most of the time. I miss a tactile "esc" key. I don't know, it's not really something that I think about or have a gripe with. It's just different, but I can't say it's better or worse than the old physical function key row.

6) The new touch pads are way too big. I'm still bumping it when I don't want to. I have no idea how I'm supposed to use a touch pad this large... the old ones were perfect, this was a clear case of "fixing what ain't broke."

Mimics what I've seen on a maxed out 15" MBP. Author killed the battery in 83 minutes running a CPU benchmark and in 81 minutes with the GPU on Tomb Raider.

Browsing the Internet, I easily get 4-6+ hours of battery life. If I switch to coding (RStudio IDE seems to be very intensive) or similar, battery life drops precipitously.

I still dislike the keyboard after a few weeks of using it; I briefly switched back to my old MacBook Air to move some files a few days ago, and it was really much nicer.

Migrating from a MacBook Air, the biggest improvement (by far eclipsing anything else) was the screen. It's incredible, although I can't compare it to the previous generation MBP. The touch bar feels like a gimmick; I rarely use it. At least it doesn't get in the way, and the virtualized escape key is totally fine. I've also had palm rejection issues with the enormous touchpad that I never had with my MacBook Air.

The weirdest issue I am having is that programs crash after resuming from sleep. RStudio crashes almost 100% of the time. It's hard to interpret the error messages, but I believe it might be due to a bad RAM chip ("memory not mapped"). No Mac I've ever owned has done this before. I'd really appreciate it if anyone had advice for this! It's getting to be problematic.
How do you determine what dose you should take (of the lipolysis influencing ingredients you mentioned)?
Google has the resources to secure their systems, the ability to defend against nation state attacks, and billions in revenue at risk for losing that trust. I know of no one that offers the same experience with anything close to the same protection, do you?
"If you use some provider in another country, the attack vector has to be way larger, right?"

I think Nexor, Thales, Fox-IT, Sirrix, Data61, and recently ProtonMail might have something to say about such claims. Starting with better security architectures than most vendors in the space. Maybe throw in GPG-based things like Enigmail since Snowden leaks showed NSA worried about it so much.
I'd throw the machine out of window, sit in the corner and reflect on poor life choices.
What If the Free Market Decided Whether or Not Drugs Work?
"Why does X happen?" is not a useful question. We can ask "How does X happen?". Consider the reframing "What is the correlation between me getting angry and other abstract things happening around me when someone is eating an apple?" used by psychologists and data scientists. Maybe this can provide you with a more practical answer. Maybe you are upset that they are eating and not sharing, or that they are eating and you are not, etc. Neuroscientists would be interested in what the brain is doing when something like this happens, e.g. the inter-region dynamics of getting angry in response to seeing/hearing others eat. It is not a boring question, at all. But I see your point, most people are interested in a practical answer, not in brain dynamics.
> this is the first MacBook where I get unintentional input on the touch pad when typing

I don't think your hands or wrists are supposed to touch the laptop at all while you are typing though.
Well, frankly: pics or it didn't happen. Or rather videos, in this case.

I see this recommendation often (using noise-cancelling headphones in an open-office) but I'm confused by it.

The headphones will actively remove (a little bit of) white noise from your environment (air conditioners, server fans, etc) which in practice actually makes 'signal' type noises more audible. I've noticed, for example, that I can hear the flight attendants on the intercom much better with my noise cancelling headphones on than without because the noise from the engine is partially cancelled.

I can see how heavy over-the-ear headphones would help in that they will dampen all noise, especially if you add in some white noise on top of that.

>> If there are such cases, I posit $130k is a low end start for their salaries.

You haven't replied to all responses to those explanations (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13552944 ), and I haven't accepted some of your arguments yet. Can you point out which posts of your own you are referring to?

Encryption all the way.
Not that Google definitely won't decide to shut down their services (I still remember you, Google Reader!), but I'm extremely hesitant to commit to some alternate services. I've been burned so many times when thinking "ah, what a great service!" and then it vanishes after I've grown used to it an can't imagine my life without it. I'd much rather move to self-hosted for as much as possible. But then that leads to the bother of installing and maintaining things. And then I'm back to being lazy and sticking with Google services. It's my eternal cycle.
Do many people do "pro" workloads on a battery? I always have a charger with mine and frequently lots of peripherals; USB keyboard, mouse, monitor, external HD, etc. and if I'm running 4 docker containers and a full stack of software, it's getting pushed pretty hard. Not sure I'd really expect much of the battery when you're whipping the machine like that.
"he ability to defend against nation state attacks"

I'm skeptical about that. They got seriously owned by one in the past with their proposed solution switching to Mac's and Linux distros. I don't recall if they acted on that but the fact that they thought it would stop nation-states says something. They certainly have more resources to stop, detect, or recover from black hats than the average user of their service.

Also the "surface" the community sees is not very inviting. Bugzilla is horrible to use, browsing it gives you the strong impression it is abandoned. The wiki is also always outdated, or you can't tell. The forums are a nice addition, but they are only visited by beginners, devs or advanced users don't wanna go there. GitHub pull requests are ignored, because we still sit on SVN (and lol perforce - is that still around?).

Educate yourself. Anyone can write a draft of an executive order. It's most probably not related to anyone in the White House. So there's nothing to that particular story. Stop scaring yourself over unnecessarily and wait for actual things to occur.
Because some countries - namely in Europe - have much stronger personal data protection laws than the US. Switzerland for instance.

Also because the country where the data is stored, even if internally has personal data protection laws as lax as the USA, will in basically all cases have much bigger restrains about allowing a foreign government (namely the USA) to access that data.

Most people are preoccupied about what their own country's government or a big superpower's government can do with their data, not really what Norway's (another example) government can do with their data if they don't even live there.

What comprises a "normal healthy diet?"
Unfortunately Hitler was right. Germans undoubtedly did not suffer anything for the genocide, instead they were made "a showcase of communism"/"a showcase of capitalism" on differend sides of the border, and then allowed to merge as the most powerful country of the EU.

Another genocide-prone nation, Japan, is the richest in its own domain and feels just great. It seems that losing WWII was the way to go, with losers more prosperous and happy than the winners, except for the USA.

The real shame, in my opinion, is that Israel hasn't recognized the genocide yet.

It's actually disgusting not shameful and I don't care how much they try to blame Geopolitics for this.
So should we soon expect courts to reject copyright infringement or piracy claims?

So says the court in the article: "Electronically transferring data from a server in a foreign country to Google’s data center in California does not amount to a “seizure” because there is no meaningful interference with the account holder’s possessory interest in the user data."

My point is there could be analogies drawn. If taking copies of an email without the email owner's permission doesn't violate the owner's interest, then perhaps taking copies of media works without the owner's permission doesn't violate the owner's interest either? I'm suggesting strictly viewing, non-commercial use.
