No, I've only used AUM. Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try.

Although part of the problem is that, beyond the router state, there is configuration data spread out between the different apps (e.g. Some midi stuff setup in Gadget or whatever), so we will see how much it helps. Hopefully you're right!!
You fly for $450 a year, to be clear.
That was pretty much the reaction the cell phone guys had when Apple entered their market.
What's the salary of a senior dev in seattle? How much do electronics, appliances, cars and food cost?

Will that 700k USD house have wall insulation and double glazed windows and central heating?

I think there's a reason a huge chunk of skilled New Zealanders end up leaving.
> ...and be outsourced to the fine Bangalorian sweatshops sooner or later.

In my experience, the jobs of the mediocre get outsourced to said sweatshops to be done by equally mediocre people for cheaper. I've worked for two big banks as a software dev, and there are plenty of long term, extremely high paid positions for Java engineers that'll never get outsourced.

The model seems to be: have a group of on-site, well paid smart people build out a toolset, toss it to offshore to build useless CRUD features onto.

> Really well paid is, like, 250k/year, and it is somewhat hard to extract it from just Java in an average bank.

I disagree. There were a bunch of engineers at both banks that were clearing ~200-300k a year, and not in San Francisco. Granted, some of them were Oracle DBAs, but there were a bunch of Java-specific people as well.
I suppose it depends on your definition of "silly" but perks like Amex's Centurion lounges, their concierge program, hotel privileges and (of course) points all outweigh the annual fee for me.
dang, you mean I'm going to have to upgrade my "Student Driver" sign?
Fair enough. Still a good deal for multiple trips with two people.
> Something tells me shipping your phones off to be built by other people in China and building your own auto assembly factories from scratch are two completely separate things.

This is the question. Indeed, an electric auto is far simpler to manufacture than a legacy auto. Drastically less parts. Similarly, Tesla has demonstrated huge value in software component of the car, from the app, dashboard, OTA updates, not to mention fleet-wide machine learning.

Don't also forget Apple is extremely good at creating electronic devices. Apple has less than 20% of the phone device market but makes well over 90% of the profit. They hardly ever have supply issues (such as Google's Pixel) or quality issues (such as Note 7). Apple is known for their cachet and design but the reason Tim Cook is now the CEO of the largest company in the world is because their supply chain is, by far, the best in the world.

If a company is well placed to make an amazing electric car, it's Apple.
Many are looking to churn (cash in and leave)...The rest are doing it for utility and/or status.

It's more liberal

For me that's a huge downside. The leftism here is stifling.
I doubt Apple will ever launch its own car. However it seems that quite a few large IT firms consider DaaS (Driving as a Service) a viable B2B market. If you can create a superior suite of machine learning tools (including always up-to-date road data) that successfully drives passengers and goods from point A to point B then you can secure big revenue streams from automobile companies for years to come.
In some markets, it is more about getting it right than getting in at the right time. We've seen many carcasses of products that were ahead of their time, not because they were bad ideas but because they were not formulated for mass adoption. Apple's own Newton is one example. It took the iPhone formulation to make the product features successful in the market.

A more recent example is the telepresence robot. Many entries, but still more Newton than iPhone.

With Apple, it's easy to pick out their winners and losers: iPhone, iMac, MacBook, ... vs, Apple TV, Lisa, Newton, ....

At their current scale, Apple needs to enter really big markets in order to move the needle on sales and profits. There aren't many really big tech markets left. Cars are an interesting play in that it combines robotics and consumer tech, and puts them into a market that has room for multiple large players and plenty of opportunity for disruption. The transition to an electric drive train and autonomous navigation presents an entry point. There will be multiple winners.
I found that part of the article so amusing that I was about to share it with some friends, and then I started to wonder if I was making myself part of some kind of viral marketing ploy.

It works for me as I think better with pencil in hand.

I have seen someone refer to this practice as 'regressive' on HN

I wonder if this is a 'bad' habit I should unlearn. Is it something I should avoid at all cost? Or is it irrelevant ?

My understanding was also that Christchurch is the most dangerous city in the country, but I've no figures to back that up. My ex lives up there, and when I stayed with her family they had me lock the car door when we were driving through the central city, something that I found very odd, and not at all reassuring.

It's a NYT shtick. It's not that difficult to find a person that speaks like that, and NYT finds that person for their articles. Since getting a subscription, I've also been turned off by the tone of their reporting on political articles, where they border on sarcasm without actually saying anything negative.
Perks. More points, lounge access, concierge programs, insurance.
Uh.

My hobby is metal machining. Precision is a matter of understanding the physics of what you're doing, knowing your machines, and, well, the machines.

I can give you close to 0.0001 tolerances with the machine in my apartment (about 6-7 times better than stock cheap mills that haven't been properly tuned, depending on the material). Use a big, rigid, production-oriented machining center built for it, and you can do better.

I can't build you a car, though. Precision has nothing to do with this.

> But Apple could easily hire 10-20 people from car industry to fill the missing gap and get there in 5-6 years.

Something tells me you haven't been part of a project that involved mass production, complex engineering (not software-engineering; engineering), or regulatory compliance.

If I were to guess, I'd say Apple has already hired at least 10-20 automotive industry lawyers, just to get moving on just the regulatory side of it.
Amex exists in Europe. Maybe not in your country (which you probably mean by "here."). Which country is it?

Either way, I get very good customer support from American Express. Also way higher credit limit and points. My other card is a Citibank card. I never use it because I despise citibank.
It's inferring something about reality, but what?

Suppose, for example, that I gave this same statistic to someone and then asked them to select from a pool of 100 applicants for 50 available places in medical school. Let's assume that there's an equal # of male and female applicants and that their exam results are all similar. Do you think that knowing about this 66-34 split might influence the gender balance of the final selection?
> Doesn't this blocker still require you to load and render the ads so they can apply their vision techniques to them?

Definitely seems that way from what I understood. Seems like a novel technique, but not something I'd personally flock to use unless my network/element based rules suddenly became ineffective.

Rather than being used via an extension in the client's browser though, this technology looks like it could be incredibly useful for automatically figuring out rule changes and updating e.g. the element hiding rules automatically.
I can't recall a single time where I or anyone I was with or near had ever commented on, thought anything of, or even really noticed what card somebody else was using to pay for food with.
You can also reverse that: A self driving vehicle is actually more usable for a terrorist attack because it doesn't require you to sacrifice the driver and all the gear for full remote control is already on board. It's basically a software issue to turn it into a remotely guided inertial weapon.
If the rumor about an Amex lounge in Denver is true I'll drop Chase in a heartbeat.
I agree, I think they just mean they probably will stop the soldering and glueing of pieces that should be easily replaceable.
Oh I wish I could do that too but the $45 credit card fee for $20 in points doesn't ever make sense for me
Over the last 5-ish years they:

(1) Lost US Airways lounge access from the Amex platinum (merger).

(2) Lost Continental as a transfer partner for MR (merger).

(3) Lost Continental lounge access from the Amex platinum (merger).

(4) Lost Delta lounge guest access.

(5) Saw serious devaluations in Aeroplan for MR.

(6) Saw serious devaluations in Delta for MR (no more 50% transfer bonuses).

(7) Saw serious devaluations in BA for MR (transfer 1:1 with 50% bonuses to 1:0.8 with occasional bonuses).

(8) No more points lending (you used to be able to transfer more than you had if you earned them back within a year, otherwise they'd bill you).

(9) Lost JetBlue co-brand card.

(10) Lost Costco co-brand card.

(11) Saw Plenti flop, and I haven't really heard much of Bluebird.

A few years ago, you needed 120,000 Amex points for a first-class round-the-world flight with no fuel surcharges and 2 stopovers in addition to your destination. That price has pretty much doubled in points and gone up 100x in cash. It's just not as rewarding as it used to be.

On the other hand, Chase jumped in, offered lower-fee cards ($95 for Preferred vs $175 for Amex PRG) with more valuable transfer partners -- especially before the United devaluation -- and large signup bonuses. They were friendlier, less stodgy and offered a better value proposition overall in 2011 with the Sapphire Preferred. Then they upped the stakes with the Reserve.

Amex should be worried.
You are absolutely correct that a whole host of laws govern the landlord-tenant relationship. Given how regulated air travel is, as well as United's status as a common carrier, I wouldn't be surprised that there are also similarly restrictive laws for air travel, so I still question whether Dr. Dao did have a duty to vacate his seat despite the breach of contract by United.

"> I've always had the impression that MSR (Microsoft Research) was generally doing much more fundamental research than Google."

They definitely are. Just look at all the MS Research labs and projects. I did once to find them all over the place in terms of both categories of tech and fundamental vs general vs narrow. The Duffy posts on Midori with its design/implementation decisions show how unconventional they can be even when just trying to build a robust, desktop OS whose UI isn't actually radical.

There are diffeeent levels of ethics in hacking:

1) finding a bug and notifying the company

2) finding a bug and releasing/selling

5) intentionally adding bugs to software and claiming it's secure

This was level 5

Why don't you try Googling Yatch Capital of the World...it's not my given title. A lot of the Yatchs you see in those places that you mention will have been purchased at the International Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, the largest such show in the World, I go every year and to Miami's too.

Edit: to get an idea do a Google image search of Fort Lauderdale International Boat show. As to your quip about things with motors, South Florida is also home to the largest cruiseships in the world (>100,000 tonnage) that are dubbed floating cities.
> I think it’s also important that Apple continues to keep the CPUs in Mac Pros socketed.#5

Honestly I wonder if this is actually the future of CPUs or if it will all be soldered in. That, and RAM too. The history of computers is a history of demodularization. Unlike, say, 15 years ago, today I expect a high-end CPU + Memory configuration to remain high-end for a few years, so I'm not worried about upgradability. That's definitely not true with GPUs.
> I have seen someone refer to this practice as 'regressive'

Does that matter?

> Is it something I should avoid at all cost?

Really, if it is a productive method for you, why would you be concerned about this issue?

I have a question. Do you use squared paper and represent the indentation using the squares, and fixed-space using one square for each letter.
He didn't say arithmetic error, he said miscalculated basis. Very different.

Here's how it happens to lots of people.

1. Vest RSUs worth $25k-500k, depending on how senior you are and what BigCo you work for

2. Employer sells 40% of your shares instantly upon vesting, for taxes

3. Employer remits that 40% to the government

4. You sell all your shares, because you realize concentrating your risk of investment loss with the risk of unemployment is a bad idea. Basis should be approximately 60% of that year's vesting

5. Employer correctly reports the full pre-tax vested RSU value as income on your W2

6. Broker, for incredibly Byzantine and unfortunate legal reasons, reports basis of vested-then-sold stock as zero

If you miss step 6. when filing your taxes and just naively enter the numbers your broker gives you in your tax forms, you will be double taxed, capital gains on the full value of your sale, instead of ~$0 gain for your vested-then-sold stock. Your employer already covered that income on your W2.

So, sokoloff may have just inappropriately paid capital gains on a $300k vest. Sizable, but fairly normal for a high performing senior engineer or manager at a BigCo.

Alternatively, the same logic applies (and it's even easier to screw up) if you held on to your shares from multiple years of vesting, and sold them all at once, so the original grants may have been smaller. If they appreciated, you owe tax on the adjusted basis, not the zero basis reported by the broker.

Side note: you need to check this particular failure even if you take your return to a place like H&R Block. H&R Block specifically has repeatedly screwed this up for many different coworkers of mine. And then they didn't help with the necessary amended return. Stear clear of H&R Block.
Visa and Mastercard are the two biggest card associations in the US (American Express is another card association).

Credit cards are usually issued by a card issuer (bank) and are co-branded with one of the card associations. For example, the Sapphire card is a particular credit card issued by Chase Bank, but is a Visa card.

American Express (Amex) is a little bit weird in that they act as both the issuer and the association for many of their cards. (They are less widely accepted than Visa or Mastercard).

See this American guide to choosing a credit card[1]. Factors that people consider include interest rate, amount of signing bonus, rewards (such as a percentage cash back on each purchase or a percentage of frequent flyer miles on each purchase), yearly fee to use the card, and other services that come with membership such as warranty protection, concierge, discounts, and reserved tickets for events.

What cards are available to a person depends highly on their credit history and income.

Too hard? Or not profitable enough? Big difference.
Yeah, in terms of the best Auto/Tech pairing I would say ford/Microsoft is the highest profile?
Amex flooded their signed-in experience with awful pop-ups: upgrade your card! get a personal loan! It's distracting when, as a user, I'm simply trying to see how much I need to pay.

I switched to Chase.
That seems to be a limitation based on what the OP noted:

"we do a lookup in the official WordPress theme/plugin repository"

So many popular themes and plugins, especially paid ones, won't show up...because they aren't in that repo.
I use AMEX because their anti-fraud and customer service is the best I've ever experienced.

I refuse to use Chase anything because of how poorly they treat their lower income customers (staging transactions to maximize overdraft fees, etc.)

When I'm someplace that won't take AMEX, I use Discover. If they won't take Discover I use my credit union Visa.

It usually detects it but we cannot show its icon, real name and description (only the plugin slug).

One of the reason that NZers are so opposed to denser housing, is because the housing quality is so poor. How close to neighbours do you want to live when your walls aren't insulated and your windows are single pane?
They are trying to improve this in France. I've met quite a few shops who started to accept amex because Amex has started offering very low transaction fees for shops with small volume.

I think it's actually smart, they're not likely to earn much money from those shops anyway and it's a good way to increase their footprint (before that they were only accepted in department stores and supermarkets basically).
Has Amazon been hacked (wrong author attributions)
Your main point is valid in the contemporary sense, but don't forget that the Silicon Valley is called Silicon because it used to be the global fab hotspot. While manufacturing chips, boards, accessories, computers, hard drives, card readers, and mainframe racks isn't quite the same as cars, there's plenty of manufacturing know-how in the Silicon Valley. Does Apple have that kind of know-how, and does it make sense for them to acquire it? Not so clear.
Think of Amex like the iPhone/iOS. Only Apple makes it, they deliver the hardware and the software.

Visa/MC are Android. Samsung (Chase), LG (Citi), HTC (BofA) are the hardware makers (card issuers) but they're all delivering the same Android (Visa/MC)

I don't have an analogy for Discover...
Manufacturing experience gives them maybe a small edge.

The real question is why would it be a wise move for any SV tech giant to move into the very competitive car industry. Is it a more profitable investment than healthcare, food or shipbuilding?

The fact that they have mobile platforms is irrelevant, unless they plan to ban Uber from their app stores.
Freedom Unlimited + Reserve nets 2.25% cash back on everything and 4.5% on travel and dining, and the annual fee nets out to $150 once you take the travel credit into account. Used properly, it's probably the most rewarding card/combo out there.
Yes. There's a fee.

The non-fee version is only 3% at restaurants.
If I miss a flight by say 15 mins, in certain fare classes, the airline will let me reschedule to a later flight at no cost. Which means if they can't resell that seat in 15 mins, they're losing money because that seat is now empty (and they're essentially refunded me the price)

It's an interlocutory order, made on the same day its application was heard, with no representation for the defendant appearing.

It's the kind of order that's made before a case is actually decided, to limit some ongoing harm until the case can actually be heard. The plaintiff agrees to compensate the defendant if the final judgement doesn't uphold the interlocutory order.
That's a broader definition than I usually see applied to "social network". By your definition, I was part of a half-dozen social networks (IM platforms) for years before any of the current "social networks" existed.
