Loopholes, like renoviction, though there's the "winter truce" meaning nobody can be evicted from Oct 15 until April 1. Look how long this process is, roughly a few years before you can even think about calling the police to evict them https://www.french-property.com/guides/france/working-in-fra...
a cyclist should be treated the same as any other vehicle on the road. they might need to swerve to avoid an obstacle while the car is overtaking, just as a car may need to swerve while another car is overtaking. when a safety margin is possible, as it was here, it costs nothing to apply one.
You can definitely block the main thread. XHR requests can be run synchronously by calling .open() with false as the third argument. And when you do asynchronous XHR requests, the browser can and will run multiple requests in parallel. Of course, the callbacks just get added to the event queue and run one at a time to completion on the main thread. And granted, it's hard to call this an "optimization opportunity," since you should almost never make synchronous XHR requests anyway.

Why not spin it around the other way? What advantages does Mac now have over Windows, in a world where Microsoft is catering to developers from both sides?
I don't think Tucson believes that's a mistake. Cities would prefer that all buildings are up to code, all the time. Tucson was lenient enough to say that if your friend can afford to keep the building dark for six months, he can afford to bring it up to code. It's entirely likely that if he tried to insure the building, his insurance company would require an inspection and similar work.

Perhaps he needed better inspection before purchase.

> We have drastically removed many of the forces meant to keep women as dependents of men.

The mysterious forces were not "meant to keep women as dependents of men". They evolved naturally, women took care of the babies while men hunted/gathered stuff. Nowadays, this division is no longer necessary, since you usually don't need muscles and physical prowess to do a job, or at least it doesn't give you a significant advantage.

> If the tables had turned, then men would be systematically be kept out of jobs, particularly high paying careers. They most certainly are not being kept out of those jobs.

You mean as in having scholarships, internships, and work positions exclusively for women? If you don't believe me, take a look at job offers in SF/NYC.

You're not alone in feeling a sense of distrust when reading Vox content. Like Mic, it's more of a finely-tuned fad-amplifying machine than a journalistic outlet. Above all, it seems to prioritize whatever flavor of outrage is popular with the kids at any given moment.

To be fair, though, Mic is almost a bad comparison because of just how much worse it is than Vox. But they certainly are thematically similar.
I used to be hardcore windows guy...

Then 10 years ago I got a mac. I never went back..

But what am I saving money for right now? To build a nice PC again.

Mostly because of the exact reasons in the article.

I have a fondness for apple... but they have definitely lost their way. First, they were a computer company driven by a man who loved computers ("first" here is the Jobs return era) ... then they became a Computer company who also made a phone. Then they became a computer company who also made a phone and a tablet. Then they became a phone company who also made computers and tablets.

Now they are a phone company who presides over the death throws of an amazing operating system that is going to be killed off to make it more like a phone. The new "features" every cycle are more "lets put this phone feature on the desktop"

It makes me sad, as a mac fan. The hardware is getting worse. The decisions are getting dumber every time. I wont buy a laptop without a magsafe or similar connection, i have kids and animals, and the magsafe has saved a laptop more than once.. to remove something that was as core and identifiable a part of their computers was just a stupid move and served no purpose.

They don't listen to the industry or the consumers anymore, they stick their fingers in their ears and pretend to know best.

Jobs was hardheaded, but reasonable. Cook is trying to emulate the hardheadedness but fails to recognize the reasonability needed to balance that.
Because this is an article about abandoning the Mac, not Windows. If it were the other way around, then that would be an equally fair question.
Probably switching from macOs to Arch Linux soon myself
okay, why does it hold any news relavance?
One of the reasons people seem to have an aversion to Vox's format is that it's not meant to be like the rest of news journalism. When they first announced Vox, it was described as such:

> Vox.com is news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

So, if you're accustomed to "the noise", I can understand why you might distrust Vox.
I'm not quite sure of what this article is trying to say.

Is this something limited to males only? Has the trend changed over time? How does it compare with the rest of the western world?

As one example, according to CNN, approximately 26% of women in the US choose not to work, which is much higher than the figure for males quoted in this article.

http://money.cnn.com/2013/08/13/news/economy/women-work-forc...

The article (Brookings) is a fairly poor article in many ways. It really says nothing when you scratch the surface.

I believe it's unhealthy to keep on focusing on gender like this. You get a lot of speculation and false facts. It drives a wedge between the genders and creates victim mentality.

I feel that we've swapped colour segregation from the 60s with gender segregation today. Just look at education (school web sites are particularly sexist as is code.org) and topics like domestic violence couldn't be more segregated and sexist if you tried.
Well, to be fair, I think both models make perfect sense. But I don't think Amazon is necessarily more transparent. In case it wasn't clear, I was talking about list prices, not including shipping.

In either case, you have to go seek out the on-premise retail prices, and in fact this is no different than traditional price comparison shopping whereby you learn that different stores have different loss leaders to get people in the door, and if you really want to get the cheapest price you have to shop a lot of different places. I'm not sure whether Amazon's model of centralized distribution with direct delivery has greater economies of scale then the big box store model, but I'm worried people are blinded by Amazon's convenience and don't realize how often the prices are really quite bad.
The Mac is a victim of the iPhone's success - pure and simple.
From a short & medium term perspective the business/ops guys will tell you that any engineering resources spent on Mac would yield better results in iPhone land.

It requires fundamental "long-game" mindset to realise that once you lose the high-end Mac guys - you lose your best proponents - then you go into a decline, a long and very profitable decline.

There is no excuse for the current line-up of Macs - super expensive, incremental and confusing half-baked features.
Oh please. Not this again.

I recently had the pleasure of checking in on Windows for the second time in 7 years. I had been a PC user since the DOS days, starting on a 286, and going all the way to Windows 8 when I switched to Macs around 2010. I've only ever needed Windows for games since then, and decided to install Boot Camp on the 15" 2016 MacBook Pro that I just got (which happens to be a pretty good machine [1], all in all, and runs Paragon [2] in high detail at 1920x1080 60 FPS; enough for me.)

There is still so much wrong with Windows I honestly don't know where to begin. The UI remains a convoluted Escher'esque nightmare. Apple and macOS are still FAR from fucking up badly enough to make me want to willingly head back to Microsoft.

I am running both Sierra and the latest version of Windows 10 side-by-side (with Parallels Desktop) so the differences are very glaring and obvious. Maybe I'll write up an in-depth comparison later.

> Aren't those generalities true though?

They're really not. What's true are the experiences that led you to feel the way you do and the fact that you feel that way. But retrofitting that into a social theory with a grab-bag of data points doesn't yield truth. It's just a form of intellectual armor so you can make aggressive claims without being vulnerable where it hurts.

If you gear up with that armor and then charge into HN threads and throw your weight around, that's not dialog, that's battle. It'll get angry disagreement from those who don't align with you and angry agreement from those who do, but what we won't get is thoughtful discussion. That's a problem for two reasons: (1) it's predictable and therefore boring—the true sin on HN; (2) it produces more of itself and destroys everything else. Flames are a good metaphor for this, so the term flame+war is about perfect for it.

> makes it more difficult to make a rational decision

Your arguments are the opposite of rational though - and I'm not insulting you, I mean in the economic meaning of a rational person that just considers the cost and the benefit. Your arguments are irrational and emotional.

But I think you have a better argument that you haven't made clear - the markup gives you information in that if the markup is high then it is more likely that someone else is willing to sell to you for less if they can tolerate a lower margin. If a margin is very low then that's less likely, as there's nowhere to go.
Partly because the German currency is severely undervalued for its economy (because it's held down by the other eurozone countries), favoring exports. In a sense, the other eurozone countries are subsidizing German exports. If the euro went away, and Germany switched back to the Mark, exports would be corrected downwards, and jobs would leave since Made in Germany wouldn't be profitable anymore.
HN is far more positive than Reddit (and most forums I use).

I think it's because of the mods.

I don't read harsh comments and use a lot the "hide" link.
That seems like a low number, but babies tend not to be allowed to work in this country, and more people are going to college, retirees are living longer.

A better number might be NEET - self employeed under the retirement age vs entire population. Thats still not entirely fair, since it misses those who have deliberately chosen not to work, but that number is probably pretty small.

Swift is cross-platform (and open source), and obviously this doesn't depend on parts of Swift (like the iOS/OS X only APIs) that are not available on other platforms, but only on the core (and portable) libs.

My first computer. Ordered the day it was released after saving up 50% of the £70 and my father added the other 50%.

Finished secondary school whilst waiting for it to be delivered, it arrived the following week - the first week of June 1981.

I spent the intervening months teaching myself BASIC programming from the total of 3 books on programming in the local library.

I remember the day it arrived well; I was busy cleaning house and didn't realise the postman had left the parcel in the kitchen until I stopped for a break a couple of hours later.

Had it unboxed and connected in a flash and I was still to be found lying on the lounge carpet in front of the television programming it (in BASIC) at midnight.

Started my agricultural apprenticeship the following week and continued programming late into the nights, quickly moving to write pure Z80 assembly language code.

Dropped the apprenticeship a year later, went self-employed, and been hacking ever since.

I still miss those days of actually counting the clock cycles of different instruction combinations to find the most efficient code via the look-up tables in the back of Rodnay Zak's "Programming the Z80".

Oh, and we had to manually enter the hex codes of the instructions to write those programs - before there was a decent assembler available.

I recall adding a full-size mechanical keyboard, a 16KB RAM-pack, and a weird multi-port expansion dock that had add-on modules (like a light pen) built into cassette tape cases and connected via a single-in-line pin connection.

I still have that original ZX81 along with a UHF<->VGA signal adapter. Time to fetch it out of its shoe box and fire up the nostalgia.
It looks like it would cost you more in electricity to mine these altcoins then you would make by mining them
I don't think they will actually return the data though. I think it's the same as Facebook. You can target ads to a certain segment, but they won't actually tell you who is in that segment or what the actual data is.
That's still a string library. string.h doesn't implement any "string type" from scratch either.
This seems like a good problem to have, indeed. But the real problem with empty houses is that if you need to really live in that city, you'll have to pay a lot more, as the number of houses available is "artificially" smaller.
It says a lot.

The desktop isnt a phone. Forcing phone features into a desktop and slowly turning the desktop into iOS is not a good thing.

We were just fine without an app store. Just fine. I cant think of any of the "use this mobile feature on your desktop" that provides any real value...
This seems more like an opportunistic attention grab than a legitimate analysis. Has it really become this fashionable to loudly declare one's intention to jump from the Apple ship? Boring.
Look, I suppose you're right, but it is the first line on my HN profile. If I was trying to dupe folks, I probably would have done something different.
I wouldn't take the marketing-speak too seriously. Vox is no different than any other pageview-seeking news organization, all of which claim to cut through the noise.

Most "news" these days is just content created to drive page views by discussing hot current events. Vox included.
Those generalities are true. We just often don't have the statistics to prove them. It's either because the research isn't funded, either because it is undercommunicated (journalists extract the one sentence that is profitable to women and so on), either they're entirely banned (ever tried advertising on Twitter for a male cause? Yes, it's banned, "sensitive topics" can't be advertised whereas feminism can), or either because such researchers would be afraid to nail the coffin on their career.

Research on male problems needs equal funding to women, throughout the world.

There are people who believe that "technical analysis" works. I believe in semi efficient markets and do not believe technical analysis works, especially at scale.

I think that quantitative analysis can work in rare casis and generate alpha, but i do not believe that i can predict those cases or generate that alpha myself.
I mean. Societies even 20, 50, 100, 500 years ago did many awful things to many good people on the basis of "keeping society together". And yet we're still doing reasonably well, sometimes centuries after some of these religious rules were dropped. (Not that they were ever very well followed, so long as one's wife/neighbour/pastor didn't find out.)

Additionally, there's quite a variety of different cultures around the world that all do different things. India had quite a number of polygamous marriages until relatively recently, for example - all of its major religions, and the culture surrounding them, are relatively neutral on the subject. Third genders were a relatively common and accepted thing across the world until British Colonialism introduced Christian morals to a lot of places, often reducing them to prostitutes and symbols of evil/bad luck. And so on and so forth.

Honestly - existential worry about one's place in a changing world isn't a new thing. You can find stories on the subject going back centuries. People will figure it out.
There are some interesting ideas that sometimes come through on http://www.oppsdaily.com
I haven't started anything based on it yet because I already struggle starting focused on what I'm already doing. I'm intrigued by some if their opportunities though.

I also found the approach of buying thing.com domain names and building a obvious business around them very promising: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13366216
I don't have hard evidence either way, but I'd argue no. Ars' recent article on the bizarreness of the upcoming Creators' Update is one example.[1]

See my sibling comment. If there's so much examples of things going tilted against men in most western countries, shouldn't you say there's at least some common thread across them all, an indicative cause to all these (different) symptoms.
I don't think that's been a thing since 2006.
I remember seeing numbers for London, where the "story" that gets regularly regurgitated that half the town is empty (ok, so I'm exaggerating a bit) due to the Chinese buying investment properties that they for some strange reason supposedly leave empty rather than renting (which would be particularly strange in the UK, which, though squatters rights have been curtailed still is one of the most risky places to leave property empty).

Except the numbers showed vacancy rates at similar levels in expensive, "investment friendly" boroughs like Kensington and Chelsea compared to boroughs where large portions of the rental market is social housing where the council gets tenants in ASAP after cleanup/refurbishment.

I'm sure there are areas with problems, but many pleases it seems to me that the problem is more one of flawed assumptions. E.g. articles about the situation in London have more than once talked about dark streets and no children out playing.

But if there is one thing that has always been different between rich and poor areas, it is density and likelihood that the occupants will be spending money on activities away from home vs. playing around the block. I remember that distinction well even from growing up in Norway with class distinction far flatter than anywhere in London - the "normal" working class neighbourhoods I grew up in were lit and surrounded by kids playing outdoors in the evenings, while e.g. when I went to visit my grandparents in one of the wealthier parts of town, it was always darker - the flats in their building all had two living rooms and a couple of bedrooms with windows facing the road, and more rooms facing the inner courtyard. Even when people were home at night, there would be far less lit windows for the simple reason there were not enough people there to use all the rooms at once.

It seemed to me like people had started from a flawed feeling, and gotten hold of the statistics and asked no critical questions whatsoever about why the numbers where similar in the poorer areas and similar for social housing.

It's appealing story because it "explains" the high house prices people have to deal with by blaming it on some undefined evil absentee investor which won't show up to defend themselves.

I'll note that I've not looked at the issues related to Paris etc.; maybe it's different there and they have a genuine issue, but even if these numbers were abnormally high, "solving" that problem would not in any case be enough to drive the house prices down to affordable levels - no matter what it's clear that if governments want these prices down to affordable levels, they either have to resort to regulation or to stimulate housebuilding, whether by easing regulations or pouring money into it. But it's much easier to blame people for leaving properties empty.
Still very far away from the Sun, but closer.
There was another example in this very article of them writing a glowing defense of Comcast, which they neglected to put a disclaimer on until a large outcry caught up with them. Where are you getting your opinion that they "usually do a good job of disclosing things"?
> Now...if society is breaking in a way that it's tough for men to get good jobs, then let's look at that. Women aren't to blame for that, though. Let's look at what's really going on.

I don't think the comments in this section suggested blaming women for reducing men's partipation in the workforce. Specifically, the comment's OP seems to be suggesting that while the economic tables have changed, socially it is still a requirement for men to have a regular, well paying job (or whatever that expectation is) which perhaps also need to change to accommodate the reality that a lot of men may not satisfy that requirement, while still being good partners in relationships.
I agree it makes sense.

But it also indicates that Apple isn't really designing for the Mac as the author points out.

I mean, Siri is the biggest feature Apple is touting for Sierra (http://www.apple.com/macos/sierra/). And as you point out, it's something that doesn't even make all that much sense on the Mac.
