Because of the gravitational influence of Earth there's no stable Moon-Sun L1 point. The Earth would keep pushing anything there one way and then the other.

Also, the extant atmosphere of Mars is a big advantage. It's not much but it helps at lot relative to vacuum with soaking up heat, letting you synthesize oxygen, etc. And while Mars doesn't have much free hydrogen it has a lot more than the Moon does.

Oh, and then there's daylight. A day on Mars is about a day on the Earth. A day on the Moon is a month. So you've got to have lots and lots of batteries if you're going to last out a lunar night. On Mars you just need a bit more mass of batteries than you have of solar panels.

And there's more gravity on Mars which might be important. We know what 1G does to the body and we know what 0G does to the body but nobody knows if there's a difference between the .4G you get on Mars and the .15G you get on the Moon.
"death throes"
There's a lot to not like about Windows's UI, but Explorer is worlds better than Finder, there's absolutely no comparison. Every day I still struggle to remember how to go up a level. Option+Up? Nope that selects the next folder up. Control+Up? No, that made all of my windows do something weird that I don't know what that is. Ah, it's Command+Up. As far as I can tell, there's no non-keyboard way to do it. I can't click a button and go up to the parent folder, all I can do is go back, which is confusing if I forget what the previous folder was.

Likewise, "All My Files" sorts based on... what? And which folders does it look in? Because very often I save a file from the Internet and it never shows up in All My Files. And when I search for something when I'm in a directory, I expect the search to be restricted to that directory by default. Instead it defaults to My Mac, which makes no sense. Is there also no way to get the current path as text? On Windows I can type "C:\Users\My Documents" by hand in Explorer. I don't see an option to do that in Finder.

Explorer isn't perfect, but Finder is just awful. Just awful.
Is the amount of value speculators capture proportional to the efficiency gains? If there were less or no speculation, what would be the net result?
This pattern can be recommended so long as there is no liability for financial information disclosure. When you're hacked and a customer who closed their account 2 years ago has their CC info used for fraudulent transactions, you just trollface and move on.

This is why I am baffled as to why the CC companies eliminated the transient number technology, which was pefect for e-commerce vendors like this. At least with those, after 3-6-12 months the number expires and no damage done when the vendor is hacked. I assume it was dropped because this technology complicated data mining.
> It's universally known that display scaling is the forté of macOS, and has been for a long time

I have to interject here. Apple was the first one to have actually working and non-horrible implementation.

But the way they went about it has big performance cost. They can only render 2x versions. So if you use the physical resolution, the one that is "as big" as 1280x800 on 2560x1600 13" rMBP, they render it in 12802x800x2 and everything is fine.

But if you use scaled resolution, say "as big" as 1400x900 on 13" rMBP, they render it in 14402x9002 and rescale it to 25601600, and this gets laggy on bigger resolutions or on older devices or devices without dedicated GPU.

Meanwhile, other operating systems can do non-2x scaling and have no problem with resolutions like that.

(Personally I don't can what Windows can do - I'm not using that if I can help it. I just wanted to note that there's this issue with how Apple decided to do scaling.)
Linux file explorers (Nautilus, etc.) aren't exactly a pleasure to use, but then again, as a Linux user, if I have to open a GUI to do something with my files, I'm usually not happy about it in the first place.
Because it's the worst kind of ad hoc evolutionary psych bs?

Women marry a lot of different kinds of men, for example: men who make them laugh. Men who are attentive, or ambitious, or well spoken, travelled, groomed, serious, sensitive, quiet, gregarious or any number of adjectives, none of which directly reflect their income.

In simple terms, a lot of,the thread here is guys super imposing the logic of power and position onto 'women'.

A specific type of person seeks mates primarily because of their position, these tend to be ambitious and ambition valuing people.

This is in no way the full set of women.

Yes Statistically, the logic of evolution will result in a bias. Women would love to marry an Adonis who was a PE fund owner, or a cardio-neuron surgeon.

It doesn't mean people wither away, waiting for it to happen.

The most popular trope is not of dr rich, or mr moneybags - its Prince Charming.

Your spouse will be found through the places you visit, the education you attend, via the people you meet, the places you work and and the hobbies you enjoy.

Not just because of the size of your paycheck.

And your spouse will very likely try their level best (all things held equal) to help you out when your paycheck is down, the same way many wives have been all through the recession when people were laid off, and their husbands (and themselves) weren't rising up the corporate ladder.

You may never know why, precisely, your spouse decided you were worth spending the rest of their life with.

But its not just because of biological programming.
Did you try to offer that condo to your friends or relatives, so they can use it sometimes, too? Maybe this condo can make you more money, than you could imagine. I understand, that it would bother you to find renters and to worry about your house, but maybe we just need some special service for that.
It's interesting how that outcome could have been guessed by seeing the new line of CEOs. Now MS has the bigger innovator as boss, so it's products also are more interesting to users.

Yea. I like evolutionary psychology. It's interesting. But we need to be aware that it's extremely speculative and not take any of it at face value.

I really do not understand any of this. I am in the 1st period of the Information Systems course. But I know one thing, it's much easier to find a backdoor with the open code than the other way around. Besides that nothing guarantees that with these techniques you do not miss something.
My assumption about your assumptions about me were correct.

My assumption about where you live was correct.

I don't presume to know you as a person, but I am rather confident about what some of your beliefs are from what you've said and where you've said it. There's a reason why your government has a hard-on for the world's metadata.

And for someone that speaks for the world as being one and the same for everyone, it is surprising how quickly you attribute the findings of the article as only applicable to human beings living in the US (even if the study was on the US). What is inherently "american" in this behavior that limits it to your country's borders? And what makes poor people in the US so different from poor/lower middle class people from over here, that they could not possibly be using the same manipulative tactics?

It is funny, because one of the things I like about american rap music is how often black american rappers express in their lyrics about how these same abuses that happen over here, affect their communities. Yet you find an alien concept in what I'm telling you.

Maybe instead of pointing fingers about attitudes, you should try lending an ear to your own less-privileged neighbors if you want to know the difference between the theory of what you preach, and how it actually affects them.
Hi, my name is Dan, and I don't recommend anything on the privacytools website.

Above all the many problems it has, it recommends using insecure hosted VPNs and advocates an app-centric approach to restoring your privacy (e.g., Install this app and you'll be safe!). This is no better than believing you can eat unhealthy food and fix it with weight loss pills.

If you're looking for a better solution to a communications security problem, you're welcome to check out Algo, a self-hosted VPN that I support:

These numbers match so accurately that I'd say they are throttled.
Open source doesn't mean it's secure either and you have no proof that Google isn't doing the same via its Google Play Services on top of Android nor do you have any proof that none of the Android manufacturers are not modifying the Android code without your knowledge. Recall this security issue: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/kryptowire-discovere...

and not to mention the nasty Heartbleed that's still affecting us.

Open source only means the code at some "point" may have been vetted and secured but it will not remain secure forever.

At this point, there is no secure anything, as long as it is man-made, it can be broken by another man.

Apple has incentives to protect your data and it has enough money to not have to rely on sharing the data unlike Google and other Android companies. But this is not to say Apple isn't evil. They all are by default as in the nature of for-profit business they're in.

Apple owns the patent on magsafe. That was the one feature I actually liked on my MacBook pro. I have seen to many chargers wear out, or wear out their ports. Magsafe also made it easier to connect the charger.

Think how nice it would be to have the same functionality with USB ports....
The word's original meaning comes from a military context. Both its literal and its figurative meaning here is synonymous to 'to muster'. It can be interpreted as both 'to summon up' and 'to draw upon'.
Vox is most certainly a liberal outpost. You're correct that many elements of the left reject liberalism, which is why Vox et al. are center-left liberal rags and not "leftist."

I've noticed this as well. I use a "workaround" in the form of Yoink: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yoink/id457622435

Yoink seems to trigger a file export in Photos. Why that doesn't happen with other programs is anyone's guess.

I put "workaround" in quotation marks because this is really how I do all dragging and dropping between programs in macOS, since I tend to run stuff in full screen.
If you don't understand this, then you're in the wrong business. I hope your school teaches that even vetted security code can be turned against you.
I used and loved iPhoto and then I had a great (first impression) of Photos until I tried to do the thing you describe: DRAG AND DROP. Apple forums provided an answer (I would call it a work-around) with their usual condescending tone: hold Alt while dragging, and you can at least get a copy of the photo/video of interest into a folder in the Finder.
The Car Hacker’s Handbook
The trouble with this sort of bug is that we'll likely never know.

Some people's accounts will be compromised, and nobody will know if it's been due to fishing, insecure passwords, or an information leak such as the Cloudflare bug, or an undisclosed or undiscovered breach somewhere.

The more responsible Cloudflare customers have invalidated existing sessions; that's much less hassle than forcing a password reset, and since session tokens are transmitted in every request, a leaked token is much more likely than a leaked password.
Add strong tenant protections to avoid 6-mo leases. Funnel all revenue from that tax into a special fund whose only use can be affordable housing - where all projects must be financed using existing funds rather that future tax revenues or borrowed debt (govt needn't do debt to finance all programs).
>This is straight up: I can't even imagine how to properly do these things.

Isn't learning how the exercise?

>I'm seriously planning on getting out of tech entirely because I don't think I could successfully navigate the tech interview process. I only got this job because I know a guy.

I'm coming from the other end of the spectrum so I don't know what particular issues you're having, but there's always a post on HN frontpage every other week or so about the poor state of hiring/tech interviews across the board. On the other hand, I'd say you should play to your strengths. You earned your network over your long career.

Cheers.

> You act like lower-class "uneducated" men _should_ be unable to get a job.

Where did you get that idea? As a farmer, I see endless work opportunities where the employers would just be happy to have someone show up. It seems most aren't willing to do the work though[1]. Which is fine. It's not everyone's cup of tea. Even more comfortable or 'higher status' work is also easily attainable with a bit of effort.

However, none of this addresses the reason for the situation they are in, and I don't mean just because they are lazy like you insinuated in another comment. There are a number of reasons why some people struggle in the workplace and it is related to the same reasons why they struggle in school, or even learning on the internet for that matter. To pretend that we can just throw education at this problem is misguided. Lack of education isn't the problem.

> Why are all the nice places getting so insanely expensive?

Because, over the last century, the non-liquid surface area of the planet remained roughly constant while the human population tripled.

And that happened because some incredible portion of the humans believes that birth control is wrong.
Understood. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
IMO you are being a bit lazy here not researching the issue yourself. These kinds of comments are easy to make but hard to respond to. Do your own research and respond with what you find before asking OP to do the same.
I have a journalist friend who covered this. Refugees from places like Syria would be shuttled through several countries by bus and train, but also often long distances by taxi, to land up in Nikel, where they'd have to pay some exorbitant price for a bicycle so they could get across the border into Norway. The law of course caused a huge market for bicycles in Nikel.

I wouldn't be surprised if some enterprising individuals in Norway bought the bikes back at reduced prices and shipped them back to Russia so the process could begin again.
>you report the $ increase instead of %, without a base value.

Think of the $200k in terms of average annual household income, which is relatable.
Sadly quantitative evidence (i.e. statistics) also don't prove anything.

All I can tell you is that here in France property squatter have rights, and the more the original owner awaits before calling the police, the less he has a chance to recover his property and evict squatters. I would be interested in knowing if others country have the same laws ?
You'd think people would get that, but the white-board algo interviews continue on.

> Q1.18 Appendix 15 of BS 7671: 2008 gives advice on ring final circuits and sharing/spreading the load around the circuit. Item (iii) suggests that cookers, ovens and hobs over 2 kW should be on their own dedicated circuit. Why can’t ovens of less than 3 kW be connected to a ring final circuit via a suitable connection point such as a socket-outlet or fused connection unit?

> Appendix 15 is intended to give guidance only. Such connection is not prohibited, provided that no part of the ring final circuit will be overloaded as a result.

So, not forbidden, but if you have new wiring the electrician is going to give the cooker its own circuit.

The evidence doesn't justify it and there are more sophisticated theories that match up better. Furthermore the theory is quite centered around bourgeois western society. Maslow's hierarchy has a lot of prominence because it's peddled in shoddy high school curricula.

I ran https://precursorapp.com on Vultr in the early days. I had a setup with a few dedicated servers for the DB and load balancer, and then I would spin up and shut down application servers whenever I deployed new backend code. Infrastructure looked like: https://precursor.precursorapp.com/document/Backend-Infrastr...

I used to recommend it to everybody, but don't any longer. I had two negative experiences that made me stop recommending it.

The first is frequent restarts. Very small sample size, but both me and a friend started experiencing restarts every month or so. I don't think I got any advance warning about the restarts, but I'm not positive.

The second is that networking between instances stopped working for me in the middle of the night shortly after Vultr did an upgrade. Support wasn't able to help (though they did try) and I couldn't figure out anything on my end. I had to switch everything to AWS to get the site back online before people woke up in the morning.

I was super happy with it before those two problems, though, and the people there seemed competent and professional. I was also using FreeBSD, so it may not be as well supported as Linux (which may have contributed to the networking problem).
Ha ha. That's my typo. I'll fix it. Thanks
What's the target market for this "showdown" ? Hopefully not an online business, as all of these providers are the cloud hosting equivalent of shared servers from the early 00's. I've used DO and Linode and both have serious reliability problems that you have to engineer around yourself, and I can't imagine the other providers are any more robust.

Linode was too pricy for what they provided back when I tried them, too. At this point I would only use these providers for a personal website, but I would choose the cheapest, and get an identical second provider and dual host for redundancy.

Even if they were more reliable systems than they are now, the bigger they are the more they attract attacks on their core. Only the giants like Amazon and Google, or more professional (read: expensive) providers have the resources to deal with it.
First, there's nothing "toy: about Swift. It's a full featured language on par with Rust, Go, etc.

That's some amazing CoolAid you've got there. But I'll grant you that it's on the same level with a bunch of other new languages that also aren't in general use for serious long term products yet.

But until Intel delivers boards that accept 32GB low-power RAM of the kind that goes into Apple laptops, we're not gonna get it.

Yeah, wouldn't it be great if Apple made this happen? That's the kind of innovation I want to see.

As for the bulk of the rest of your points, developers and common Mac users have different priorities, and your opinions are not mine. Who better represents professional developers will take time to find out.
It's on github and you can submit a pull request in not much more time than it took to snark here. (I submitted one for some of the other grammar/spelling issues in the file. [sorry for using the online editor-that authored a poor diff])
It is really difficult to have a constructive discussion about OS X and Windows, mostly because both projects are mutually exclusive with their goals and users feel their interests aligned with one side.

To name an example, most of the people who prefers OS X complain that Windows lacks aesthetics (ie. font rendering, high dpi support, etc.).

On the opposite side, most of the people who prefers Windows complains that OS X lacks support (ie. a huge library of software, backwards compatibility, etc.).

Unfortunately, BC and aesthetics are mutually exclusive, taking support for High DPI under Windows as an example:

Only the modern stacks like WPF or UWP are DPI Aware by default, but the amount of software built with these stacks is relatively small, on the other side, most of the software on the wild is built with stacks like GDI/MFC or WinForms, but they'll always look "ugly" with High DPI configurations.

Apple is the kind of company which would demand developers to update their software, Microsoft can't afford to alienate its developers.
All of the things you mention as proof of Apple caring about the desktop are things I don't give a shit about. I needed _none_ of the things you list. Nor do any of the people I work with.

True, there probably isn't much the average user would like to change in OSX. But it would be okay if stuff was broken was fixed and stuff that was wonky got improved.
