I wonder if any of it is also being directed at just being better at programming.
Apple will almost certainly still be a thing in 30 years. While it's hard to predict anything about fashion that far into the future, there are lots of buildings that are 30 or more years old that are cool places to be.
You're looking for ways to make money while you waste it. Obviously the most lucrative opportunity was further upstream -- one that you missed when you got into an hour-long-automobile-commute, miserably-unsustainable type situation.

Move closer to work, and ideally walk there. Or bike or take transit. (If transit, you can work while you ride.)
If housing costs too much to do that, move to a metro area where it's possible. Now you're what maybe $500/month richer? Now sell the car - voila, making money!
You forgot "Blockchain".

In my experience, you get out of reddit what you put in.

With an account you can unsubscribe from specific subreddits, which I have done to clean up my feed from angry/creepy/violent stuff and I get posts that I am very interested in, primarily from smaller subreddits about hobbies, sports, cool technology, etc.
Hi there! I assume you mean something equivalent to GROUP BY or MAX in SQL? This is one of the highest requested features on our roadmap. You can see a proposed syntax for this at https://github.com/graphcool/feature-requests/issues/70

I lived in a city that had a revival of its industrial area. There was no parking garage for the new bars and restaurants, so all visitors simply parked in the residents' neighborhoods. Quality of life drastically declined for those residents, and I ended up having to leave due to family members being unable to find parking in under 30 minutes in the evening.

Public transit in the city was underfunded so it was only realistic for certain commutes within the city.

I have no idea why suburban Cupertino would be worried about this risk; it sounds like an underhanded way to limit occupancy and capacity (you build a 1000-person office instead of 2000, because you had to have extra space for parking).

> As part of its ecological efforts to prevent such a crisis, Apple claims, its buildings will run solely on sustainable energy, most of it from solar arrays on the roofs.

Does it make economic sense to NOT build solar arrays on new buildings these days? Even for your average-sized office or apartment building. It seems the added cost would only push the budget up marginally in most cases.
What makes this significant compared to Dolphin Smalltalk (now open source, great, Windows-centric), and Pharo (forward looking evolution of Squeak)?

You're mixing up "perceived fairness" and reality.

The top 20% of earners pay 84% of income tax [1], yet can cast only 20% of the votes. It is not the case that there's this huge regressive system in place. In fact, the opposite is true. It's very much been trending toward the tyranny of the majority--there just currently aren't a whole lot of other good options for English-speaking wealthy people.

That doesn't mean there never will be, or that by letting voters more directly decide how much to take, the circumstances won't become worse much faster. The fact that the wealthy make more than the working class is irrelevant in reality--only in perceived fairness. Nobody will be better off if they leave.

Not enough.

Because, you know, there happens to be something else that is driven by memory. I'll give you a hint as to what it is: it's comprised of approximately a hundred billion units. (And no, it's not a galaxy.)

Divide 160 terabytes by the number I just stated, and you'll find that that you only get 1.6 kilobytes per unit. Not really enough (or at least, too close for comfort).

Step up your game, HP! :) But, this is a VERY good start.

He can't know things that are not reported to him; he can't act on things that 'are beeing taken care of' by so called HR department.

Neither of us knows what happened, but some people tend to like watching individuals burn for entertainment purposes. Throw a fancy title in the mix, and everybody has an opinion all of a sudden.
The personal spaces inside the pods seem to provide space for at most two people if they were working there constantly (two tables on either side). There are walls on three sides and a glass wall with door on the fourth. So that’s not really an open office floor plan.
Some are heralding the European courts as the next hot venue for patent trolling. I am not super current on it but so far I don't think that's particularly materialized. I think the delay and uncertainty of the UPC has a lot to do with it.
Every other reasonable person on Earth, and I, agree with you. Lossless if a fine this to have when possible, or for something you might care about. But considering the number of times I've had to incorporate a Thomas the Engine or Weird Al song to my library for my son, well, I have other concerns in life than maximum auditory experience.
In your experience, how well does the lapdock run with an RPi? I have a lapdock lying around, and never thought of this for some reason.
This is what I do. It's not so much "making money" but just making sure I am utilizing my time correctly. If I'm just sitting in the car waiting to get to work... that's a waste. If I'm listening to a book or podcast, that means I have that time back at the end of the day for more sleep, or whatever.

I used to, in my late 20s, car pool with people to work. We'd flip on a podcast -- every day it was someone's job to pick one out. Then talk about it a bit... made the time go by quickly and we all ended up learning something. Harder to do as careers became more serious... stopped being viable to schedule my arrival and departure times around others.

If you have friends in the same time-zone you can schedule a commute call to catch up and bitch about things. Some of my buddies and I used to have a conference line open at a set hour, anyone who wanted to dial in on their drive in could. Was nice, until everyone started having kids and it was viable to talk openly in the car.

Lastly... just sort of thinking about your goals and things you want to accomplish that day... I tend to do this quite a bit. Got in the habit of using my first 30 minutes at work for day planning / preparation... but always helps to have it all queued up in my head before I write it down in my journal.
Moving talking pictures have a massive impact on how people see the world.

I think this may be the future of computing, but not yet. A high-end phone may have the computing power to replace simple desktop systems, but connectors to the peripherals haven't been standardized yet.
American Gods
SC1 draws lots of inspiration from other works of fiction in it's domain. Aside from the Zerg being Blizzard's take on xenomorphs, the SC1 Goliath design is pretty much the Robocop enforcement droid, and the Protoss are their take on Predators.

I'm always surprised by fans who defend game designers and state that it's just a coincidence, or even that there's anything inherently wrong with taking something from another IP and repurposing it for your game and/or paying homage to it, since what you're using probably wasn't a completely original thought either, and was in turn inspired by something else.

I know a few game devs/designers and have gotten to experience the design process at a major game company first-hand, and they're completely honest about using other stuff as an inspiration or template for their concepts, but they're not allowed to admit it publicly for a variety of reasons (lawsuits I guess...). Stuff from other IPs is directly referenced when brainstorming and designing.

I think people who don't know anything about game design or universe building don't realize just how much media the people involved in these fields consume. It's silly to think that they won't be basing their stuff off things that they're fans of.

It seems to me that the culture problem at Uber is probably unoslvable and will be it's death knell. Uber got where it is by skirting the system and now that all these other mini-crises (not that this is one) are flashing up it seems that the company is completely permeated by people who think that if something is "tricky" it must be good.
First time hearing about Sentio, very cool, thanks!
You are right: checklist is not for education. If you don't know how to implement one of those items, you need to go learn. The checklist itself is still valuable, even to a seasoned security developer.

A checklist will not teach a pilot how to fly and land a plane, but it's value is not zero..
I don't think this makes sense until phones are basically as fast as current laptops.
Clickbait really: I don't think even the most ardent EV fan would claim that suddenly all (new) fossil cars will be forbidden and that the infrastructure for recharging will magically available everywhere, or that the grids would be happy with such a quick change in usage patterns!

Still, would be good at face value.
I'd love to have a few days of peace to be able to try GraphQL and Graphcool.

If it does the job as expected it looks super useful for small dev teams. They have solved simple auth, permissions, data modelling, cloud functions, etc.

A priori, my only complaints about Graphcool are:

- Ridiculous file storage price beyond the initial 10GB. Almost 20 times more expensive than Firebase and S3.

- No permissions for machine clients. They provide a machine key but these machines have access to the entire DB. So if you need an integration with some third party you need to spin up your own proxy.

- The UI for working on the database and models is really awesome. It would be even better with some headless CMS alternative type of UI and allow puny humans to add/edit content, files, etc. This is something most projects need anyway.

- No REST API. Yes I know, but not everyone is ready to make the jump to GraphQL and being able to implement it gradually might be a nice bonus. Or maybe you'd like to give access to a third party to some of your data. Again, this could be solved with a proxy, but it would be a nice to have.
Interesting to see the "growth hacking" works/doesn't work. It's the right place, very eye-catchy headlines, alas, very week comments and upvotes.

Also interesting to see "Local JavaScript-Database" as the most succesful headline and the current one " Show HN: Rxdb – A fast, reactive, client-side database " as the second best.

Weak "title" performers, "The poor man's Firebase", "An observable database in JavaScript", "ClientSide DB for Browsers, Node, electron, cordova, reactNative and every js-vm"
Depends on how much of a rockstar you are. Dave Grohl was famously hospitalized for drinking way too much coffee: http://www.nme.com/news/music/them-crooked-vultures-14-12945...

He had a conversation with his doctor about it that went something like "So how many cups of coffee do you have a day?" and his answer was "How many cups are in a pot? Because I drink like five of those..."
I can't recommend that course enough! I attended it in person and got a lot out of it. Jeremy & Rachel were also enormously kind & helpful outside of class.
And now, also Samsung DeX, but that one requires a Galaxy S8 and a special dock.
Once we reach that point, the robot will be running on a far more advanced algorithm, closer to the one you're using.

Reuters News redirect scam
This morning I left my browser with the Reuters news site home page loaded for a few minutes and when I can back and focused on the page I was redirected to this scammy page:

http://warning.error--apple.com/

How does this happen?
No. Please enlighten me :)
With USB-C this shouldn't be a problem whatsoever. In fact, the peripherals largely already exist. Given the driver support, these should just work "out of the box" with an up-to-date linux kernel.
It's not like these people are being irrational. If driving is faster, then these folks will do so. Given the property prices in the Seattle area, they are probably as close as possible to work as their budget will allow. They're probably at the edge of their tolerable commute as it is.
Fast, on-demand, point-to-point transportation in the company of your choice, with the option of hauling more stuff than you can carry on your person, will always be attractive. If the cars drive themselves, that would be ideal. I'd say let's figure out a way to let everyone use that system. The Boring Company is a start. It seems to me in the currently ascending culture that a good person is expected to show a dislike for cars. Maybe for the vehicles of the future to be accepted their name needs to change. Pods? Apple could make a version.
That was definitely true around the time your links were written, 2010-2011 or so. A few things have shifted in the application of treble damages and some new avenues for avoiding prolonged patent battles that have prodded many to come around on that way of thinking. Still, some entities choose to be willfully ignorant. But in my opinion, it's better to know what's out there
I assume by “pods” you refer to the small personal spaces with the two tables? I’m not quite clear on the terminology myself, but it seems to me that the pods are actually a collection of those small personal spaces plus the shared social space (basically the hallway between).

How would you accomplish giving everyone a view of the outside? The building is far too large for that, i.e. it would not be possible for everyone to get a view to the outside.

It seems to me that in general the common spaces have the views to the outside, but I also would like to know whether there are any office-like spaces with actual views to the outside.

To me that seems a pretty good approach. I need more secluded spaces to work (where a view of the nature doens’t really help), but walks and nature helps me to think.
I can't unfortunately. I have to drive to work there's no other ways for me to get there.
No, you are definitely right
I'm not commuting anymore, but when I used to, I would try to get some work done on the train, and if I did, go home earlier without feeling bad about it. We didn't track time at that job.

At my current company I can clock in via VPN and book time on whatever I'd work on, wherever I am. As long as I tell my superior that I won't be at the office, and as long as I don't have any meetings during that time, he's fine with it. I've committed to deadlines already, and if I don't meet them, he's in trouble, but so am I, so he trusts me.

If you have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, you may was well have a computer. Seriously, if you have a laptop-like enclosure for all those things to make them portable, adding a SoC to make it a PC is what, $20-$40 to be on par with this in terms of compute? And last I checked, it's still not The Year Of The Linux Desktop. This is gonna crash and burn.

I do that too, so far Adobe, Dropbox and LinkedIn are my only real sources for spam (due each of these being hacked). And oddly the occasional spam to an alias I used for the crypto-discuss mailing list.

One additional twist, I keep my site-spesific aliases on a short sub-domain (for now service-or-tld@s.mytld.com) - if I feel the need in the future I can burn down the whole sub-domain, exchanging s.mytld.com for eg: m.mytld.com.
Yeah, but these would never work with VR. The moment phones became capable of delivering smooth VR, i.e. smooth graphics, the phone PC became a strong possibility for quotidian tasks.
Maybe just say what you mean, instead of riddles, as part of contributing to the discussion?
A lot of that would be energy costs as well, which the new building will have for much cheaper with the solar panels on the roof.

The idea that roads and related infrastructure is paid entirely or even largely from taxes on road users is a huge myth that persists in a large number of western nations. In most of them, car owners merely contribute to the cost of roads via the taxes you mention, the bulk of the monies to pay road related costs still comes from other sources unrelated to roads or cars at all. Last I read on the subject, in the USA the breakdown was supposedly closer to 50% road related taxes, 50% general taxation paying for roads. I'm not that bothered personally, but I can absolutely understand why this might bother some - car owners are effectively subsidized by all tax payers to a large extent.

Same here. Also, I now have tinnitus and partial hearing loss, so the audio snobbery makes me incredibly envious of those people that could always hear so much better than I can, such that they just have to complain about hearing the little extra things (or notice the missing bits) that annoy them.

It's great that audiophiles can hear so well, but when they start talking about tubes and premium cables and vinyl records and gold-plated contacts, I just want to give them an otitis media infection that cuts them down to my level. You just don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. I know that's wrong to wish such ill upon others, but it's so much harder to suppress my envy when I'm being inundated by what appears from my perspective to be superstitious nonsense.

As someone who can still somehow enjoy music when it's encoded as a 64k/s MP3 file, I am baffled as to how someone can say the very same music can be bad at 128k/s. I'm just glad that I can still hear it at all!
Trick question: unless you were already a multi-millionaire you wouldn't be able to drive to the Apple spaceship in under 45 minutes.
Let's use some logic here, instead of quotes. An unqualified HR department that does not have proper procedures in place may not notify or relay all of the facts to other parties.

Using your logic, if I'm in charge of HR and simply sweep complaints under the rug, it's not my fault because other people should know what is going on.

Brilliant.
Yes, it comes with Xfce and apt-get.
You do need to purchase the font to use it to make the logo.

Forcing an open source project to pay roughly $200 for a one time use is a bad decision. Using such a typeface in a logo is a poor choice because that mean you can't embed it easily for free on the product's website (let's say to use as the font of your titles or to use text on the logo instead of using an image). The problem with embedding a font on a website is that by doing so you are not "using" the font but "redistributing" it.

Yes, and it took around 20 years to go from the patent for the first underpinnings of applications for phones other than communication in the 1970s to Simon Personal Communicator in the early 90s, and then another 10-15 years for the first smart phones to emerge. If people gave up because it "had been tried before", we wouldn't have any of the technology we had (in fact, we would still be planting crops with wooden sticks because Thog got trampled trying to chase some wildebeest off of his early attempts at farming).
