What I'm getting at is that Apple likes to restrict their devices to work very well in the narrow designed use case, and make the non-designed use case very cumbersome.

However, people use cars across broad use cases. Some just commute, but some drive in snow, some need to ford small streams in emergencies, some need to install roof racks, and some want car-seats for infants.

I don't see Apple designing for broad use cases, because it isn't in their culture. And that will be a problem, because cars are not toys that you can choose not to use without large consequences.
"double-tax" is a nonsense concept. There are dozens of overlapping taxes in the world.
Its even worst than that. Read about FATCA - a total failure of US Government (politicians) implementing draconian bill that force other countries to report US Citizens offshore accounts back to USA.

Only few politicians were against really knowing how the law will play. While those who push the law wanted all the countries involved to simply report on USC, the report itself is very complicated and confusing. Result? Majority countries that signed up for FATCA simply stopped opening USC account and shut down all accounts that belong to us citizens.

Two of my friends shut down their legitimate companies in Hong Kong overnight because they didn't have bank account anymore. Another friend started working with HK citizen so that he will represent him on paper and got screwed up out of his business. Result -- discrimination against USC around the word in terms of banking and less competition around the world from us-people.

I've been quite happy with Rambox, an app that aims to unify all your messaging services into one desktop app. Ironically, it's also built with Electron, but right now, it's sitting at 30MB RAM and 0,1% CPU with 3 Slacks, WhatsApp, (FB) Messenger and Discord loaded.

i speculate, putting kidz in jail for hacking, made room for the criminals. But hacking is still childs play. it was a long time since i saw "hacked by" on a web site, now the hacks are silent, and the servers are used as drones by criminals to make money.
Voat had a lot of promise, but it's degraded into a cesspool of racism.
Which is one excuse given for the slow updates on the Mac side (one I don't buy).

But again, Apple's Mac sales are over $25B a year,and it's profit margins on those sales are far higher (15% vs. 2-3%) than the other PC makers. It will never be as big as iPhone or iPad, but it's still one of the largest businesses in the entire world (it would just miss the Fortune 100 list on its own). It's sad they aren't doing a better job of updating the hardware, but so far it hasn't shown up in their sales.

Even the human brain often gets things catastrophically wrong. The problem is that it's only evident when it happens to other people, not so much when it happens to you. And if you're surrounded by people all of whom have the same bug in their wetware, then it gets really hard to tell.

Why would anyone leave a comment for an advertisement on IG?
Take for example this Landrover photo on IG:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BS5xqWvAj3c/?taken-by=landrover

What percentage of these comments do you think are real?

It's very easy to build a bot that leaves generic comments. This guy open sourced his code:

https://medium.freecodecamp.com/my-open-source-instagram-bot-got-me-2-500-real-followers-for-5-in-server-costs-e40491358340

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can think of only handful of reasons to leave a comment for an ad like this.

1. You are a bot.
2. You are friends of the photographer.
3. You are somehow associated with Landrover marketing.
4. You really love Landrovers (???).
About 10% of Bitcoins were created early, before 2012, and have never been traded. If somebody ever finds the key of the early lost Bitcoins, they'll have a huge payoff, over a billion dollars. Speculation is that either "Satoshi Nakamoto", whoever he is, is holding onto them for a big payoff, or somebody lost the private key for all those early Bitcoins. As the years go on, the second explanation seems more likely.
Usually that feature is to give flexible airport options. So if you search for SFO it will also give you OAK. Nothing to do with your current location.
FWIW by the time the chigger "bite" itches, it's probably long gone. Not actually a bite, but they inject a solvent around a hair follicle and slurp up the dissolved skin. The solvent causes the maddening itch.

Google "Hells itch"; it's worse than chiggers. Had it twice. First time I needed a steroid injection. Second time 20 years later I knew what it was and heavily dosed myself with Benadryl for 2 days.

I still can't buy an iPhone 3 quality phone (+ camera!) for $200. Until I can, the smartphone market isn't saturated and Apple will keep printing money on new iterations of their devices, which tend to phy sically break down in <4 years.
>Electron has excellent authoring tools aimed at web developers. Namely, the ones they are already using.

You must have a very different definition of excellence if you believe that the current web authoring tools (whatever IDE or editor + plugins people use) are in any way close to "excellent".
Hmmm..."capitulation to global financiers", "stateless rentier classes", methinks I sense a common theme here. Not a supporter of David Irving by any chance are you?

That Illumiroom thing is neat. Not sure if it really contributes to the experience though, especially with all the furniture in the way. The only good ones were the least invasive, such as the wave effect of an explosion or the bouncing balls. That way it's more of an add on experience rather than an always on but distracting projection of the surrounding environment. Similar to the tactile effects in Switch or older rumble packs.

Simpler the better. Which brings in the question of cost/complexity vs benefits. Which seems pretty high here.

True, I will correct this in the article.
The SA you describe still exists, and it still has those things you mention.

A lot of people (including SA posters) say it's not as good as it used to be, but that may be the same phenomenon HN users complain about when they say HN used to be better back in the day.
Back in 2005 I was tasked to write a web-based CAD viewer. Flash with AS2 was an obvious no-brainer. It could do complex cross-browser high-performance graphics, and AS2 was a mature typed programming language that could be used to program in the large (using an event- and component-based API). It was fast and really easy to program for. I never even used the animation tools, and I still thought it was amazing.

By contrast, javascript was still that weird language almost no one took seriously, before jquery, before "the good parts". It had abysmal performance (way worse than flash), and couldn't do cross-browser graphics (firefox released some basic SVG support towards the end of that year, IE6 had that weird VML thing, and adobe had a slow bloated SVG browser plugin which crashed every 5 minutes).

So, yeah, back in its prime, flash was unbeatable for client-side apps and games. But, things change.
The question asked was "Allow United to access your location even when you are not using the app?”. It's not clear that answering "no" would prevent the app from accessing location when you are using the app.
P2SH addresses can be brute forced several orders of magnitude faster than P2PKH. The attacker needs to generate 1-of-2 multisig scripts in the following form:

OP_1 [compressed pubkey] [0x02, 29 random bytes, 3 byte counter] OP_2 OP_CHECKMULTISIG

A new compressed pubkey must be generated every 2^24 iterations.

You compute a sha256 midstate from the first 64 bytes, then restore and compute over the rest of the script for each subsequent iteration, then ripemd160 the output. Very easy to GPU accelerate.

The slowest part of address generation is the elliptic curve math, and this avoids it entirely for most iterations, only needing to to refresh the public key when the counter rolls over.
Or taxing those that do.

I'm doing that but it's more a CoffeScript than a Typescript (no semicolons and no commas).

An example:

fn add(x1 x2)
{
return <x1+x2>
}

fn <main>(count:int arguments:<const char** const>):int
{
(<printf> "%d\n" (add 2 3))

return 0
}

Is converted to:

auto add(const auto x1,const auto x2)
{
return x1+x2;
}

int main(const int count, const char** const arguments)
{
printf("%d\n",add(2,3));

return 0;
}

Everything inside the <angle brackets> is left as is in the C++ output.

I use S-expressions for function calls.
Two suggestions on why this happened (from [1])

Georgia Tech auditors accused Dr. Laskar of stealing as much as $1.5 million
to benefit Sayana. In the end, the faculty committee determined that Georgia
Tech had paid for $50,000 worth of chips in 2007 that were sent to a Korean
chip research institute to satisfy a contractual obligation that Sayana had
with it.

Dr. Laskar argues that any chips paid for by Georgia Tech and sent to the
Korean institute originally served academic purposes. He added that the
Koreans did not keep the chips, returning them to Georgia Tech after its
engineers verified that they worked. Dr. Laskar said that this was a common
practice with other companies at the chip design center and that Sayana had
the rights to do it because of its licensing deal with Georgia Tech.

The accusations followed an episode at Georgia Tech two years earlier. The
university had been caught up in a scandal that received wide publicity in
Georgia, in which employees were charged with making personal purchases on
Georgia Tech credit cards, known as procurement cards.

And note that other professors agree "Laskar 'pushed the edges' of what seemed ethical".

Second,

With Sayana, Dr. Laskar said he didn’t take the informal path that faculty
start-ups at Georgia Tech are encouraged to follow. While he accepted money
from a start-up incubator financed by Georgia Tech, he declined later rounds
of funding because it would have involved giving up equity in Sayana,
allowing the university to install board members and professional managers
of their choosing. “I’m sure that torqued people,” Dr. Laskar said.

The article [1] quotes some university employee saying that this hasn't affected university spin-outs which seems laughable. If Georgia Tech was willing to pursue a rainmaker like this, well, Stanford et al will be happy to have them.

As a non-citizen living in the US I am taxed on income I earn in my home country. This is literally taxation without representation!
I just took a look for the first time in years and it does look pretty good, though not as active as I remember. I was never banned. I ended up walking away permanently in early 2008 because I realized that it had become a dangerously deep time-sink for me. I just logged out and never logged in again. (I left kuro5hin earlier in a similar way.) Now of course I sink my time across other forums. HN is my current favorite. I seem to have a little better graduated self control nowadays; I'll not post here for a week or more if higher priorities interrupt.

I'm still active on Ars Technica but the constant political sniping allowed there is really tiresome. I could happily live the rest of my life without seeing "snowflake" used as an insult again. Or without seeing a snarky anti-Trump comment in an unrelated article with 70 upvotes. I don't like Trump either, but that doesn't mean I want to read lazy insults against him all day in every discussion. Reddit's never tempted me to register an account though I like to read Ask Historians.
I remember seeing a list of unsolved problems in Newtonian physics; some seemed really interesting, involving infinitely-fast projectiles that can slow down to a stop in non-infinite time (implying the reverse ought to also be true).
I'm sorry but when housing expenses are typically 30%++ of the typical citizens expenses, and housing is rising at 10% to 30% per year, year after year, you absolutely should not trust anyone who says that inflation is 1% or even 2.5% (this fellow is just being extremely conservative I presume).

That's one way of looking at it. Another way is.....we can argue about what the specific numbers are, but leaving that aside, there is very obviously a major, major problem with housing costs in many countries in the world, Canada being one of the very worst affected. But in the realm of political discussion, it is almost never mentioned, and when it does come up, almost all politicians "poo poo" the idea as if it's some crackpot conspiracy theory, and if you won't shut up about it, they then resort to calling you a racist, which in Vancouver was almost a foolproof technique for suppressing discussion, until it finally got so bad that even that stopped working, but even then almost no politicians would acknowledge the elephant in the room.

It feels like a complete conspiracy. Could the explanation be as simple that all politicians own real estate, so it is in their best interests to blow the bubble as big as possible? As silly as that sounds, the numbers are literally so big that's is nearly the equivalent of winning a small lottery...and knowing human nature, how many people wouldn't compromise their principles just a little to guarantee win the lottery?
That's almost exactly my situation. My dad was in the Army, so I'm grandfathered in, as well as anyone in my immediate family.

I think it has to do with what you are used to.

I have the same exact reaction to you when using windows. When I try to use a program on my high res display I can barely read the text, when I zoom in and increase the text size the entire program is distorted. The terminal is a backwards windows shell that is useless for any development. There is no ssh installed by default, swiping the trackpad is horrible and generally battery does not last longer than 3 hours.

Also I have to pay for things I never wanted such as touch screens that only encourage people to comes and put finger prints on my display.

With apple I can install homebrew and via the terminal just install whichever packages I need for development with sane defaults. I have no had to mess with environment variables once, something I painfully remember from windows.

I would hate my life if I had to develop on windows honestly
The arrogance of the opening of this piece is amazing. Essentially: "I know nothing about analyzing occupations, I do not work in or hire for any of these occupations, now I will classify these occupations based on my subjective analysis of how much education one really needs to do these jobs."
Corporations shouldn't get taxed only if they reinvest the money. More often than not, it's stashed in the Cayman islands or some other tax haven.

As someone who's read SA since Hellchick was joking about crates, I think the SA boards are still pretty great. There's a weird phenomenon currently tolerated where some posters sort of lazily semi-troll, but other than that it's still a good forum.
>>Once the 10$ barrier was in place I felt it lost a lot of the quality. I understood why it needed to happen, it got too popular for its own good. However, I couldn't help but feel that once it created a barrier to entry a lot of the "aliveness" got sucked right out of it.

Quantity went down, but quality increased.

I mean, that's what barriers to entry are about: they keep out the lowest-common-denominator trolls, while those who actually care about the community have no issues paying the entry fee (sometimes several times, as they get temp-banned).

They're running a brute force preimage attack against all bitcoin addresses which currently have a balance. The reason they say "collision" is that if they found a key that hadn't been made weak on purpose, it would probably be a different key from the original (bitcoin addresses do not map 1-to-1 with keys).
Well, in Canada for the most part they don't immigrate, they just buy their permanent residence status from Quebec, buy a house in Vancouver or Toronto, and then go back home.

At best they might send their wife, kids, and elderly parents over to take advantage of our subsidized schools and hospitals (for hospitals you can just borrow a fake ID from someone with PR status, Canadian culture is extremely trusting so we don't have any safeguards in place for abuse of any of our social services).
I am...not a fan of Golang, as I have made pretty clear around here on occasion. But I'll give credit where credit's due, and this is a good decision on the part of the people maintaining x/crypto/ssh. Not the tooling vendor's awful response--I'm pretty sure I know who it is, and if not there's two of 'em because I've had these conversations before--but the maintainers are doing the right thing. This probably shouldn't have gotten out the door without host key verification in the first place (and that ties back into the reasons why I do not like or trust Golang or its community when it comes to tools that I have to consume), but it's better to bite the bullet and fix this now instead of letting it fester.

(The "PGP is too hard for discussing security issues" thing, though, is total nonsense. Can't be doing that.)

I think because the original comment is ambiguous. It isn't clear whether by "income I earn overseas", he's referring to income earned while a tax resident of another country (for example living and working there) or income earned while a tax resident of the US (for example through overseas investment or < 1yr work).

One commenter appears to have assumed the former, the person replying assumes the latter.

If only the main browser devs could sit and design something that mixes the best of Flash and HTML:

- text/document presentation (with advanced typography -- css3 is still crap)
- embedded hw accelerated bitmap canvases (for when you need total control)
- vector based main drawing (hw accelerated)
- styling language (that doesn't cascade by default)
- embeddable/loadable fonts
- richer set of form controls (e.g. at least sliders, date/time pickers, etc)
- compact, compressed delivery
- ability to pry content open (no opaque blobs)
- video/audio playing
- a JS-without-the-BS (like an "enhanced strict-mode")
- a high level control (widget) description language (XAML, JSX style)
- self-contained custom widgets
- overridable built-in widgets (form controls)
- a sensible layout system (grid style), that doesn't assume everything starts as a text-based document.

and no legacy DOM stuff, no SVG crap, no CSS, etc.

Instead of all the BS work in asm.js, Dart, the nth W3C standard, etc and kludges on top of kludges, they could have something up and running in a couple of years, and push it to their evergreen browser new releases.

Have Google and Bing penalize websites stuck in legacy HTML and most of the web give way to this new hotness in 10 years or so -- and the rest run in legacy-mode in stricter sandboxes.
