> Chinese buying investment properties that they for some strange reason supposedly leave empty rather than renting

They are parking money. Property value in London is on the rise although it might not be so forever due to increasing property taxes. Same with Paris, Oslo etc.
You are starting to grab at straws with this argument. I understand that you're trying to advocate for more widespread use of APL, but constructing supporting arguments out of thin air really doesn't help your case.

If I follow your argument, I come to the conclusion that ASM is less complex than Scala because I can easily view and edit ASM in Notepad/TextEdit.
Whenever I see one of those seminars advertised "Get Rich Quick Through Real Estate Investing" I wonder why the presenter is doing seminars rather than being out getting rich through real estate investing.
FWIW, some appliance connectors have used magnets for well over a decade in Japan and elsewhere in Asia (it usually looks like https://www.liandung.com.tw/Japan-m/LT-515.html). I owned an electric kettle with one of those.

I don't understand how Apple could patent this and prevent anyone else from implementing it. In any event, there do seem to be 3rd party implementations for USB-C if you're keen on the feature: https://www.macrumors.com/2016/01/04/griffin-breaksafe-magne....
It's probably because they don't want to run anonymous accounts, which I can see taking issue with, but it isn't really stupid.

> You can still format the rest of the hard disk on another fs to dual boot, and you can still share drives with other systems in NTFS, xFAT, etc.

Until that other OS has support for the new proprietary filesystem, it won't be able to read it. Since Apple and Microsoft categorically refuse to implement any of the many featureful existing filesystems, one is stuck with archaic NTFS (with no file permissions) or FAT (with less than 4gb files) to keep data.
I would have guessed it was because you can't really apply economies of scale to it, guess I was wrong

No, as I meant to say with the "apart from that" - mathematical truths are clearly interpersonally verifiable and arguably "out there" to be discovered, not invented.

I think such contortions are unneccasary. Surely it is much easier to say that if a person is committing what we call crimes because they have no free will and are pre-determined to do so, then we punish them for it because we have no free will and are pre-determined to do so.

> gDocs is the key for our switch away from iOS devices.

This is what I've been seeing as well. And I think that it's scary - Google Docs/etc is helping to lure in a lot of users. The district is on Google email, Google Drive, etc. What's scary to me is that the younger children do not recognize that there is such a thing as "email" that is not "Gmail." They expect everything to function just as their Google apps do.

Hook 'em young is working for Google. Offer the school districts the massive Google backend for a cheap price, and they're hooked. Then sell them Chromebooks "for compatibility" and they're really hooked.
The source article on vacant homes is practically anecdotal. It's not even successfully argued that vacant homes are a meaningful problem in its listed cities.

No methodology is provided. (Spoiler: it's different for each city which are therefore uncomparable). No baseline metric is given. No supporting or relative terms are present. It's only worth is starting a conversation.
I don't know any languages in the APL family. Which should I learn and why? Which should I definitely avoid and why?
i do have a lot of faith, but it's in education and the human spirit in general. i don't view capitalism as a thing that'll stick around for long since it's severely predatory and wrecking havoc on the 3rd world. that said im no hippy. we need free enterprise, but we need effective oversight and better resource management, schooling included. right now we're led by blind leaders, but then again, considering this is all natural, this is the /best/ we can do /now/. we'll hopefully do better tomorrow.

systems such as the one switzerland has (tight coupling of industry and education) are not bad at all, but it requires an informed public, and more imprtantly, informed lateral-thinking politicians.

the coming crises will test us, and i believe we'll come out stronger, albeit with a few bruises and some lasting scars.

> Self-help books and spiritual guides espouse the virtues of the sober minds ability to control itself. Frustrated with perplexing meditations that failed to remove my apathy in the presence of “beautiful” and “amazing” pleasures, pushed me to look for a more effective remedy.

You throw away the psychological component for the physiological and chemical, the reverse as the "self-help books and spiritual guides," but this is also as unwise as the first.[0]

And then you ridicule alcohol for its addictive qualities, while setting yourself up for addiction through functional drug dependence.

As well, you're overriding the bulk of emotion and the autonomous nervous system which is dangerous in itself.

Such ASM programs would be much larger, and thus harder to read without tool support, so your objection to arcfide's argument is actually a point in its favor.

On a side note, please don't break HN's guideline against name-calling in arguments: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. It's disconcerting to be faced with something that can't make sense according to standard assumptions, but that's exactly what's interesting here. We want curious responses that open discussion further, not dismissive ones that shut it down.
I'll come at this from another direction -- is the general tendency towards being easily BS'd and manipulated a bug or a feature? It's not obvious to me that societies where the mass of people are not easily manipulated will tend to last longer. They may be tend to be wiped out by societies who can be molded more readily into an effective fighting/conquering force.

I agree that individual selection pressures tend to favor those who are scam-resistant, however only in scams that directly adversely affect the person. If there's a group/societal scam going on, it's probably individually safer to go along with it rather than buck the group and risk being ostracized.

Yeah, that's asking a lot of journalists. We all know that writing high quality pieces is what Vox is famous for, I guess they just can't be expected to have the time to put something like "journalistic integrity" or "proper research" into what they write.
The rMBP 2015 vent is at the laptop hinge. If you get the fans to spin up, you can feel the air traveling across the face of your screen with your hand.

That being said, it's still awful ventilation. I tried playing video games on it through Windows and Apple's drivers left the laptop more hot to the touch than I would like. I ended up using a fan curve controller application to fix that.
Regarding the Options button, I think you're mistaking the tooltip for a menu item.

And as for when the ribbon is closed, assuming you're using an appropriate language selection I think I'd find "File/Home/Share/View" at least as informative as "4 squares/4 lines/3 boxes/multisize boxes" - and the text labels next to them on the Windows side when you're on the View ribbon to be much more informative.
So how would you suggest browsing privately then?
This is one of those movies I used to watch every now and then with my dad when I was a teenager (although it's way too long to watch in one sitting). It's one of my father's favorites, along with Rio Bravo, The Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, and Deliverance (I wholeheartedly recommend all of them, the last one is some heavy shit). Such a shame that most people get to experience it in the butchered version. And to think we were getting the real thing on Polish cable TV and didn't even appreciate it...

I got to 15,000 words and realized that the post was getting to be a 30 minute read. So I decided to split it up into 10 minute reads of how I made it, what it did to me (the results of the experiment), and the details of the neuro-pharmacokinetics of each molecule.

Sourcing material involved cold calling hemp farms and nutraceutical formulators and obtaining certificate of analysis for their ingredients then sending them off to a third party lab to run through an Hplc to confirm the results. The lab I used is called steep hill labs. Hope this helps.

I really appreciate your feedback. Going forward I will be sure to include more useful details.

Thanks for giving the benefit of the doubt. What you describe as "political rights" I can get fully behind, and it seems to me we're mostly there yet. "Social rights" I'm genuinely not sure what you mean, it seems reasonable. But the problem is that a lot of contemporary feminism seems to entail a lot more (with some of which I disagree), that's why it would be important to understand what is meant by "social rights" here. But fair enough, HN might not be the best place to discuss that in detail.

Cloud first, Serverless second
> So? Millions of users do want it, judging from the huge popularity of Dropbox

Yet just about everyone uses local FS with cloud for backup or sharing of a small subset. Giving us an odd cloud first strategy seems more suited for a phone or severely storage constrained devices.

> Again, irrelevant. Lots of Mac users, and tons of pundits HAVE asked for a "new proprietary filesystem" to replace HFS+

Seem to remember that most of that conversation was of ZFS. They even got a long way into the ZFS port before abandoning. HFS+ has been getting long in the tooth for years, so a better FS is long overdue! So now we're getting APFS that explicitly doesn't checksum user data[0]! With current storage size, that's disappointing to understate it hugely.

I think the is a bit hyperbolic. Apple certainly hasn't given up. It may be having some identity issues, but what I really think is happening is politics. Steve Jobs made Apple, he fought for the company so hard he was fired, then he got acqui-hired back. Let's face it, the guy was invincible (do you really think anyone in their right mind would try to tell Jobs what Apple was and what it was about?) and incredibly talented and focused. He balanced the powers. Now, power grabs and politics is confounding simplicity.

It's surprising to see so few math haters in the hexagon (the thin outer shell). I'm guessing there is a self-reporting bias, since if you hate math you wouldn't really want to fill in this survey...

It's also interesting to note that many of the haters direct their hate towards rote learning tasks like arithmetic calculations and memorizing multiplication tables, which makes me think that they don't really hate math but rather the way it is taught. I'd hate math too if I saw it as following procedures blindly! Perhaps with better computer math tools[1], future students won't be forced to learn "manual labour" math tasks, and instead focus on "white collar" tasks like modelling and abstraction.

Research NMR magnets the size of several refrigerators already exceed 8-10T; they are superconducting and could after initial run up likely run for years with no power at all. They drift down over time but it likely not be a show stopper, and the cold of space would help them minimize cryogen maintenance times - it would be an activity on the way to or from the planet maybe? Edit: though the magnet itself wouldn't require continuous power, others added there would be pressure from the sun and say it could be counteracted by orbit geometry or active force being added.
