Given Apple's track record of updating the current Mac Pro, why would anyone think that whatever is released in 2018 would be any different?

If they release a board and case with upgradable everything, what's the advantage over hackintosh?

An Apple strength is tight integration of hard and software within a personal context (stated that way because multi-user/services mostly stink--shared photo and music libraries etc). I think this strength and focus plays against the orientation needed to produce a generalized computing device platform designed for longevity/upgradability.
My point was simply that there is no shortage of people claiming that some rule was unfairly enforced because the alternative is to admit they did something wrong. I used the most common expression of that concept but if you must, feel free to substitute, say, a bunch of divorced people in a bar ranting about how their ex caused 100% of the problems but fooled the judge.

People are inherently racist [1], are forced to behave in ways to may (or may not) promote sexism(not necessarily in that they hate men/women, but are forced to follow the norms) [2] etc. to varying extents.

From the same section: "The lack of systematic mental health information in the NTDS data significanty limited our ability to identify the pathways to suicidal behavior among the respondents."

IOW "being transgender" cannot be identified as a factor putting someone at higher risk. It could be comorbid mental health issues, it could be adverse life experiences related to being transgender or gender-nonconforming.

Nope, most people are "social justice warriors" because they actually care about other people. We're not all secretly harboring boiling resentment on the basis of race / creed / gender / etc. that we're suppressing for pragmatic reasons.

As far as I know, these things hit different populations. E.g. domestic cats kill basically no birds of prey, versus for typical small garden birds cats are of course a way larger risk, and they probably are less impacted by wind turbines, since they primarily travel closer to the ground.

What sort of things do employment contracts say in the US? I live in the US and I've had 9 jobs in my life (none startups) and the only thing I've ever signed or been asked to sign was a note saying I'm employed "at will" and NDAs.

I'm in the same boat here. Heck, I make it clear that I won't even hand in my notice until I'm happy with the contract and it's signed.

If a prospective employer won't allow contractual changes or clarify parts of the contract that are too broad, run away.

But you didn't do your dad any favors with the Tesla vs Dodge Hellcat comparison. The speed of the Tesla is really a parlor trick. I'd bet on the Hellcat every time I needed to do more than a few laps on any decent race track.

Is somebody able to explain why certain e-ink displays are so slow to refresh while others are much faster? For instance my Garmin Vivoactive HR e-ink display, that is even capable of displaying 64 colors, is like an LCD display in terms of refresh rate apparently, you can't see the difference easily, while the one that was used to build this project takes a lot of time to even show a single frame (see the Youtube video where the display is presented, following the link Jann provided in the blog post). My best guess is that they use completely different technologies.

EDIT: Vivoactive HR uses a Transreflective LCD actually. This web site explains very well how it works:

Is this a serious question? Conventional weapons are a lot less deadly if captured by the wrong people compared to nuclear-based installations.
There is this weird effect in American politics where each wing considers the other to be the authoritarian one.

The American right loves its military industrial complex, its police crackdowns, its bank bailouts, its manifest destiny, and so on. These are not left wing institutions in creed or membership. You could ask the same question: do you not see rightism (ingroup loyalty, moral purity, respect for authority) as naturally decaying into authoritarianism?
Theranos had that Walgreen's partnership, close ties to the DoD (a potentially huge client), and high hopes.

Uber may be selling over $5bn a year, but they are doing so at a tremendous loss. Regardless, judging from its current valuation, investors also seem to have high hopes for the future.

The initial success of both companies can be attributed to their respective CEOS; however, grandparent suggested that the skills needed to start something are different from the skills needed to grow or to maintain something and I believe that that suggestion is just as applicable to Uber. Just as Holmes failed to realize Therano's potential, Kalanick may fail at realizing Uber's potential. Many even expect this (seeing as we are discussing an article title Why Uber Won't Fire Its CEO).

Side note: I share your opinion that Theranos was a fraud in general, but Uber has been accused of that, and far worse, in recent times. Case in point, this other article currently on the front page: "Uber said to use “sophisticated” software to defraud drivers, passengers", https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14053011

WebAssembly. The spiritual successor to asm.js for representing an easier compile target to browsers from C/C++.

I still fail to see the relevance. Their appearance is irrelevant. If they keep your house clean then it doesn't matter. If you're implying street kids won't do that, not only would you have to provide evidence that you won't be able to find, but it's also a pointless value judgement. I won't even get into the fact that Airbnb can often be cheaper, and so poor, savy people may use it and your behavior is putting them at a disadvantage basically because you don't like how they look like. Sound familiar?

People who don't "look filthy" could just as easily tear your house apart. Pointless discrimination is well, pointless.

Specifically what terms did he violate?

Twitter's only statement is that some of Milo's followers behaved badly. If they followed this rule consistently they'd ban a lot of popular left leaning accounts to.

Instead, left-leaning accounts that directly violate the Terms of Service by doxxing others (Shanley publishing Milo's cell phone number) and advocate for violence (various self-styled 'antifa' accounts) remain up.

Yes, legally you have no right to free speech on a non-government platform. But as a Twitter user - and a left leaning person - I'd rather not have my platform dictate who I can and can't listen to.
these are the incumbents and even though these companies would not have been build without net neutrality, they can afford loosing net neutrality and paradoxically it might be in their interest. Loosing net neutrality will hurt startups and small sites who won't be able to afford payments to ISP's "fast lanes."

Come on, can we at least try to be scientific here on HN?

You get an impression of someone's skills. Fine. Now, if I ask other people, do they give the same impression? How well are these impressions correlated with actual work output items? How do you measure intangibles like "contribution to team spirit"? How well are these impressions correlated with other forms of prejudice? How well do you rate someone with very different skills doing a different job?

How do you even define "better employee"? Surely that's something thousands of pages of business books have been devoted to?
i don't understand, why would uber want to fire its CEO? Was there a theranos like scandal ? Feel a little out of loop here.
I'm confused by the responses about employment contracts because I literally can't think of Uber's contracts as employment contracts. The entire purpose of those contracts is to identify drivers as _not employees_.

It's much more like an EULA or TOS, which are almost always complete gibberish that doesn't hold up in court indeed (at least in EU courts that is).
Correct. The bet here is that 1. we're only seeing the very early stages of what's possible with GPU-based DNNs and 2. while Wall St is certainly considering the future applications their fantasies are on the conservative side.

The main risks to this thesis are that 1. DL could turn out to be a short-lived trend or 2. a new semiconductor technology emerges that is 10x better suited for DL/ML (Google's new architecture?)

They spent years and untold amounts of money on the body design. They cannot change it without affecting their drag coefficient and killing their max range. The body design is part of the magic that makes the Tesla possible.

edit: drove my friend's Model S down the highway at 75mph and put down the windows. No air entered the cabin. We sliced through the air like a hot knife through butter. It was remarkable. Also consider that they are legislating to get the requirement for side mirrors removed. If they replace them with cameras they gain 7% more range.

afaik Tesla is the most aerodynamic road legal car in the USA
