3 strategies for getting past gatekeepers
So where did the "excess" from the "overspending" go in your model? Surely it didn't bring up the standard of living worldwide, because we'd have noticed it by now. No, your term "overspending" is far too loaded for me to believe in.

I am far more inclined to believe the Investor Class has been doing their damndest to widen the wealth gap at every opportunity since WWII, and wouldn't you know it, all the numbers add up. It's much more like there was a healthy dynamic between management, investors, and the working class, and it's all been shot to shit in the name of quarterly profiteering and Ayn Rand "bootstrap" delusions.
Does the rest of that market also value experience, or is your company an outlier? If the former, would you be comfortable sharing which vertical market?
500$ profit from 10 million people beats 2000$ profit from 1 million people. Also, many people don't upgrade, but those who do often make recommendations for those who don't making them a valuable market segment.

I actually was all set to buy a new MBP for around 3k, but the last round's market segmentation pissed me off. They always have one cheap reasonable option and then charge an arm and a leg after that. IMO, they would be better served aiming for a 35% profit margin on everything vs the ridiculous upgrade costs for high end they currently use.

EX: 1TB PCIe-based SSD upgrade from 256GB + $564.00. When 1TB SSD's are running under 300$ and they are saving on the cost of a 256GB SSD. Think about it, if this was a removable drive you would not only save money getting a 3rd party SSD, but also end up with and extra 256GB drive. Which means they would still have a ~40% profit margin if it cost 300$ to upgrade.
I see. I would suggest you explore the following:
1. CitusDB (an offshoot of postgres with high ingestion rate, cloudflare used it)
2. Druid.io (popular in ad-tech)
3. Linkedin Pinot (uber uses it for similar use-cases)
4. memSQL (used in ad-tech)
That's not a conclusion, it's a claim by a human in a discussion. It is certainly not the case that you need a double-blind study before you can have any opinion on a subject (and, I'd argue, a complete misunderstanding of the scientific method).

It's certainly a more defensible claim than the completely irrelevant ad hominem you made about Keybase being "docile in the face of evil". Why was the commenter's employer relevant to the discussion?
My 2014 15" rMBP isn't fast enough to edit 4K at acceptable latency (and it doesn't have enough storage, either). Your forecast seems profoundly optimistic.
Appreciate it! If you send me your email address/sign up I'd be happy to show you version one. Richard Branson's reading list, to your point, is far wider reaching than your typical self-help tech business book. He reads the type of fiction you probably know from when you grew up, mixed with articles from The New Yorker, Economist and other premium sources. What I'm trying to show is that these people have got to where they are because of their broad interests beyond the dry business books you described.
Because entire industries have built themselves around MacOS.

When You Call 911 and Nobody Picks Up
Yeah.

My top 3 complaints:

1) The crazy boilerplate, the Elm architecture forces you to store all your app state in a single atom. In my experience, this doesn't scale well and is bloody annoying (see, even the redux author say you should never store everything in the single atom/store); Also, when should state be cleaned up? When the component is shown again, but then you have stale state in the meantime; or when the component is removed? before or after it's being transitioned out? (you don't want to see a flash of empty data)

2) The snail pace at which Elm evolves. I will have delivered 3 or 4 apps for my clients by the time the single Elm maintainer added 5% of the WEB API as native Elm modules. By the time he's done, new WEB APIs will have to be covered. It's never going to end. That means, a complex Elm app always has javascript. In that case, I'd rather just use typescript and nothing else.

3) The religious focus on purity. The elm maintainer is an haskell user, and it shows. Can you believe that to read the current time or generate a random number, you must be within a component's update function, ask for one or the other and you will get your result later, asynchronously? I know some people love that their entire program are fully pure in a mathematical sense, but this always struck me as having way more cons than pros.

Also, there is always "just one way to do this or that, all the other ways are disapproved by the Elm creator" The environment/community is so closed! If the Elm maintainer did anticipate your very specific need (low chance, he can't do everything by himself), the answer is: "always use that, you should never use this other thing, it's very dirty", if not, "just use this JS hack instead". This is good for beginners seeking very strong guidance, not good for power users trying to deliver stuff fast.

You can tell Elm is still a beta product; it has lots of cool stuff, but even more rough edges.

Otherwise the language is kinda nice and simple (some would say too simple, I don't know If I agree; maybe) and is great for teaching FP to first timers.
+1. Totally digging Elm as well. Learning curve is pretty minimal, although I've spent some time "playing around" with Haskell which helped.

Love how structured things are and even though Elm is an "in progress" kind of thing - still no left-pad or js fatigue type issues (unless you really try to make them happen).
Waymo's Phoenix test will include an employee in the driver's seat ready to take over. (See: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/25/technology/waymo-to-offer..., and note the sentence "All the Waymo cars will have a technician who can take control in an emergency.")

Elon Musk said that Tesla's driverless technology was "probably better than a person" more than a year ago. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/01/11...). What I'm saying is, Musk is a big promoter of Tesla and taking his ideas of when the technology will be ready at 100% face value is foolish.

"It's only the very high-end professionals that aren't able to make due with an Apple product anymore."

This really needs to be qualified, as there are plenty of high end pprofessionals still served well by Apple products.

There's not a lot of choice in the high end for eg. Notebooks. The Surface Pro Performance Base comes close to the MacBook Pro, for example, but not a lot else on a balance of features. If I really need 32GB RAM (For example) I need to lug a back breaking brick from Razer , or deal with the Dell XPS 15 which can't be charged on an airplane.
I recently started seeing some great YouTube musicians (Davie504, Pellek, etc) have to make videos to promote their Patreon due to sharp decline of revenue and I feel bad for them. Music production, especially for indie musicians, is very expensive (equipments, DAW plugins, hiring people to mix and master, etc). It's a very sad situation and a massive discouragement for YouTubers to keep up their video quality, in a long run, bad for YouTube as a content distribution platform.
Real confirmation of an attack would be a nice-to-have in this situation. I can see 3 probable realities:

1. The sheer volume of commenters and responses took down the system. They cover it by saying a DDoS attack was the cause.
2. They are intent on crippling Net Neutrality anyway, and either designed the system to insufficiently handle traffic and call it a DDos or even DDos themselves.
3. Since there are groups with vested interest in removing net neutrality, and they have deep pockets, I can easily see a few groups moving to protect their interests. In other words, a legitimate DDoS attack.

All 3 seem equally likely to me, especially considering Ajit Pai's stance on NN. This is not encouraging as a citizen of the US.
My understanding is that mental health therapy should be covered by most insurance plans these days so the out-of-pocket shouldn't be that high. While it's a sample size of only one, my wife sees her therapist bi-weekly and I think the co-pay is $20 per session. A month's supply of Duloxetine (generic Cymbalta) actually costs us more per month at $45.
I did some back of the napkin calculations and a two car suburban family would save approximately $7000 using Uber to commute compared to owning a 15-20K second card over a 10 year period.

My favorite application to do this is git-quick-stats[0]. Then just multiply by something value (maybe 7/4.8) to calculate an estimate of the number per workday. For me, it appears to be roughly 500 lines per day. However, this is just a side project I work on in my spare time. This is a mean though, not a median (which would probably be more fitting), so should definitely be taken with a pinch of salt.

> I would say that a struggle shouldn't necessitate a clinical diagnosis. Life is full of struggle, and equating struggle to depression to medication is why we're in the overprescription business in the first place.

I know critics repeat that narrative often but I haven't seen evidence of it actually happening. That is, I haven't heard anyone say, 'struggle is a sufficient condition for the diagnosis of depression', and I'm almost certain that the standards for diagnosis in psychology/psychiatry are much higher than that.

> overprescription

I'm not sure that's true either. Certainly there are always some false positives, but what is the rate? The evidence does indicate there are very many false negatives, people who need help and are not getting it.

I suspect the narrative of overprescription for psychological conditions is based in part on two things: 1) People with preconceived negative attitudes toward mental health care, and 2) variation from the norm they are accustomed to, which is that few or no people received mental health treatment.

Regarding the latter reason, perhaps there was a problem with the old norm; perhaps many more people need mental health care than we knew. When there is a new treatment for cancer, we don't say 'it's overprescribed; in the old days we toughed it out.' We don't say that about lead in water. If it's helping people, it's a good thing, and I want to society to move forward, for people to be healthier and happier and not be stuck in the conditions of the 1970s (or whatever the baseline is).
Macs have been upgradeable with standard components for a long time, and they're only just starting to move away from it, so that's a weird argument.
I would imagine that color correction, or anything involving pixel masks, would require full resolution. Cutting scenes and stuff might not, but I wouldn't be very surprised if there were cases when not having the full resolution would bite you.

You're right; a lot of professional video editing that utilizes high resolution or heavily color corrected footage will first be rough cut with low resolution proxies, only substituting the full quality footage for final assemblies.

Back when REDs first came out, there was a lot of buzz from amateur and student editors who could get 1080/720 proxies of their freshly shot 4K footage almost instantly and hand it off to editors before production even wrapped. This had been the standard for many professionals doing off/online editing for a while, but getting access to that workflow for relatively cheap was the new, cool thing.

> I'd much rather see a "miles traveled" tax than a carbon tax

Why? The harm done is relative to emissions, which is exactly proportional to the volume of fuel going in. A tax on miles traveled would unfairly punish cars with great (or infinite) gas mileage. (Unless you think the relevant externality is cars on the road...)
You can say that.

Have you seen YouTube advertisements? Half the time the ad has nothing to do with the video. I've seen ads for cement mix in front of video game videos.

If I want to advertise my stand mixer, I don't want to have to pay when my ad is seen by a 5 year old just because a video about gummy bears was tagged "culinary."

I understand advertisers want to "get 'em while they're young" and want children to pester their parents to buy things, but 2 million views from children is not the same thing as 2 million views from the 18-35 bracket.

That's the whole point of the fund--it's invested in things that are not oil.

Wikipedia says it's a mixture of equities (60%), government bonds (25%), corporate bonds (10%) and real estate (5%). If (when) oil profits vanish, these investments will still be there. In fact, since they are legally unable to withdraw more than 4% of the fund's value each year (and typically make more than that), it should continue to grow indefinitely.

The fund has a really interesting set of ethical guidelines--they won't invest in tobacco companies, companies causing severe environmental damage, or those involved in nuclear weapons or cluster munitions, for example.

While true, a lot of truly "long haul" trucking has switched to freight railroads anyway with inter-modal shipping. There may be some savings associated with effectively adding another mode (autonomous medium-haul) but there's at least some cost to adding the additional level of depots associated with that. I can believe it would work but I've never seen a real analysis.
>> So nobody but the uber wealthy can buy houses?

Adjust that so nobody but the wealthy can afford to build a NEW house. We already have it that the poor generally buy used cars (or buy with bad deals, negative equity etc...). If there were no loans then there would probably be an eventual housing shortage, but we currently have people over extending themselves just to get in the game.

As housing prices fall, your rent will too. But I'm in favor of doing as much as possible to eliminate rentals as well.

As an example, look at the housing bubble forming in the bay area. If people had to put down 50 percent of the purchase price, they would not be able to afford todays prices and the prices would come down.
It's not the store, it's the shopper.

The city I live in is supposedly a food desert but there are 6 grocery stores in the zip code that supposedly has none. They are huge chains like Kroger but they have everything you could imagine.

But even when I'm at Kroger or Meijer, people have carts full of frozen food, sugary drinks and snacks, etc. No fresh produce, no staples, etc.

There are plenty of stocks that don't pay dividends. Tesla, for example. And Mr. Einhorn doesn't seem to think they're accurately valued...

There are tons of stocks that don't pay dividends, but investors value them based on the promise of future earnings and future dividends. Snap doesn't pay dividends, but either it will someday or they'll get bought up.

The cornerstone assumption behind stock valuation is self-interest in ownership - either dividends based on earnings or the promise of future earnings and dividends. Or getting bought up, which is still sort of a dividend - just a dividend for the buying company.

Given that GM isn't going to get bought up any time soon, what self-interest is an investor in GM satisfying by buying shares that are guaranteed to never issue dividends? Share price increases? When does that stop? Is there an upper limit? What is it based on and how do you know we haven't hit it now? How is this not a tulip-market?

Actually all GPUs do.

> Apple expect everyone who uses an MBP "for work" to actually be using it as the portable sidekick to a desk-bound workstation

If that's the case, how are you supposed to do it? Specifically, how do you keep your two accounts, files, bookmarks etc in sync between the two, especially 'live' so you can just pick up your laptop and continue?

I'd actually very much like to do this, so Apple's expectation or not it would be great to achieve.
Before diving into elm, I had this fear too. But speaking from someone who never used haskell before (hell, I never used a statically typed language before), learning elm was quite simple. There's a lot of help from the compiler and the community as well. After two weeks I was quite confident on my work, and in one month I managed to create the entire architecture of our production app. Through the months I got a better grasp of elm and refactored the entire app several times (not nearly as painful as it sounds).

I've made the decision to use elm and put my two frontend devs to learn it. They managed to start contributing to the app in less than a week.

So if you have the chance, I think it's worth a shot. I thought I'd never learn elm, but so far my experience proved that it's much easier than it seems.
